The revenues from freight and passenger transport services were generated mainly by companies operating in the DB Schenker, DB Regional, DB Long-Distance, DB Cargo and DB Arriva segments. Revenues from operating rail infrastructure relate to the DB Netze Track and DB Netze Stations segments. Rental and leasing revenues were generated mainly in the DB Netze Stations segment, and revenues from the sales of material were generated almost exclusively in the DB Netze Energy segment. Other revenues related to virtually all segments.

Due to the current market developments with significantly lower freight rates in air and ocean freight, revenues at DB Schenker decreased by € 4.1 billion (–29%) compared with the first half of 2022.

The order book of customer contracts with contractually agreed out­standing revenues (secured revenues) was broken down as follows:

Most of the secured order book will be fulfilled within a period of ten years, with percentages declining over a period of time.

The decline in the order book in passenger transport contracts in the DB Arriva segment compared to December 31, 2022, was almost completely offset by the increase in the order book in the DB Regional segment. In terms of other contracts, there was a slight decrease in the Subsidiaries/Other segment.

Claims relating to contractual assets 1) of € 109 million were recognized together with the other receivables and assets. Long-term contractual assets accounted for € 48 million.

The contractual liabilities in DB Group include advance payments received as well as other payments received in advance in relation to revenues for subsequent periods (for example, for season tickets). Obligations from contractual liabilities of € 1,488 million (thereof non-current: € 225 million) were shown under the trade liabilities and deferred items.

1) The contractual assets include claims relating to work-in-progress from long-term orders.
