With a 0.7 % decrease to € 14.2 million, revenue of the consolidated companies in the first quarter was on a par with the prior-year figure (previous year: € 14.3 million). There was a significant revenue decline in the vehicle logistics division. However, this was largely offset by growth in consulting and revenue from additive manufacturing technologies not included in the previous year’s figures.

The operating result (EBIT) of the first quarter was burdened by start-up losses in new growth areas. Following a positive result of € 0.7 million, the Logistics segment posted a loss of € 0.6 million in the reporting period.

Revenues of those companies included in at-equity earnings decreased significantly in the reporting period. At-equity earnings continued to be positive at € 0.4 million, but declined significantly (previous year: € 1.1 million).
