Copenhagen, 2016-02-25 13:52 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DSB realised a profit before tax of DKK 580 million in 2015
- Adjusted for non-recurring items the profit is on the same level as in 2014
- Continued customer growth – approx. 2 percent – driven by regional and S-train traffic
- Reduced passenger revenues despite customer growth, primarily due to track improvement works on Western Funen and thus fewer customers in national traffic
- Customer satisfaction maintained in a year with many challenges
- Interest-bearing liabilities reduced by DKK 2.2 billion to DKK 7.2 billion
- DSB met transport contract targets for operator punctuality and revenue-funding in 2015
- Customer punctuality improved at 95 percent in S-tog, but reduced in Long-distance & Regional Trains, primarily as a consequence of track improvement works on Western Funen, as well as the Øresund traffic. Operator punctuality met the target set in the transport contract
- DSB pays DKK 173 million dividend to the Danish state, the first dividend since the 2012 accounts
