At € 20.6 million, revenue of the consolidated companies in the first three months was up 7.2 % on the corresponding prior-year figure (previous year: € 19.2 million). This was primarily attributable to the strong revenue growth of the leasing company for intermodal traffic.

The operating result (EBIT) amounted to € - 0.2 million in the first quarter (previous year: € - 0.9 million). Although the performance of the segment’s individual companies varied, the improvement was due to a strong increase in earnings of the leasing company.

At-equity earnings of the segment were positive at € 0.7 million (previous year: € 1.1 million). There was a strong decline in earnings from bulk cargo handling.
