At € 60.2 million, revenue of the consolidated companies in the first nine months was up 1.9 % on the corresponding prior-year figure (previous year: € 59.0 million). Despite a strong decline in revenue generated by vehicle logistics, there was year-on-year growth in the segment’s other business fields – most notably the leasing company for intermodal traffic.

The operating result (EBIT) showed a loss of € 1.0 million (previous year: € - 0.8 million). While the performance of individual segment companies was mixed, vehicle logistics fell well short of its strong earnings in the previous year. By contrast, there was a strong increase in the leasing company’s contribution to earnings.

Driven by bulk cargo handling, at-equity earnings of the Logistics segment rose by € 0.7 million to € 2.8 million (previous year: € 2.1 million).
