Ing. Mag. (FH) Andreas Matthä (CEO), Mag. Josef Halbmayr MBA (CFO) A successful year. 2017 was another successful financial year for us. With an EBT of 176.3 million euros – an increase of six percent over the previous year – the ÖBB Group recorded the second-best result in its history in 2017. The past year also saw a new passenger record in rail passenger transport, and the volume of goods transported also increased significantly. Total Group sales rose last year by more than five percent to over 5.5 billion euros, reaching a new high. Once again, all sub-groups achieved a positive result. The performance of passenger transport, which increased its EBT by six percent over the previous year to 86.7 million euros, was particularly gratifying. With an EBT of 42.3 million euros, Rail Cargo Austria is slightly below the previous year’s level, however – in contrast to most other rail freight transport companies – it generated a positive result again in the previous year. And it did so despite the enormous price pressure that weighs on all European rail freight transport. The Infrastructure sub-group recorded stable earnings in 2017, with EBT of 47.1 million euros in 2017. Inflation-related cost increases were offset by further efficiency gains and an improved financial result. Another passenger record on the railways Almost 246 million customers, more passengers than ever before, used ÖBB trains last year. In contrast to recent years, passenger growth in 2017 came mainly from long-distance transport, which increased by 1.2 million customers. However, the lion’s share of the total number of passengers (over 209 million) was contributed by ÖBB passenger transport again in 2017. The total number of annual rail passengers has thus risen by over 60 million since 2006. In the ÖBB bus transport division, there was another slight decline of just over 3 million passengers in 2017. The reasons for this are – as in recent years – 4 Board of Management&Supervisory Board | Bringing Austria Together | Corporate Governance | Consolidated Management Report | Consolidated Financial Statements We want to bring 500 million passengers and 150 million demographic developments and the associated drop in the number of students and apprentices as well tons of goods to their destina- as the continuing competition for tenders.

Rail Cargo Group remains at the top in Europe The European freight transport market benefited from the economic upswing in 2017: Industrial production and gross domestic product (GDP) increased significantly in almost all markets of importance to the Rail Cargo Group (RCG). In contrast, all European rail freight transport companies have to con- tend with enormous pressure on margins. Despite this, ÖBB’s freight transport division was still able to generate EBT of around 42.3 million euros in 2017, thus consolidating its position at the top of Europe. As in previous years, RCG again achieved the key volume increases in 2017 on the international markets. In terms of transported volumes, RCG continues to be the strong no. 2 in Europe, and both Rail Cargo Austria and Rail Cargo Hungaria remained the clear market leaders in their domestic markets. We are modernizing infrastructure throughout Austria. One of the decisive factors for ÖBB’s positive image is the further development of railway infrastructure, so ÖBB-Infrastruktur AG implemented hundreds of individual projects throughout Austria in the previous year. Customers take a very positive view of the continuation of this infrastructure expansion and modernization strategy. In every survey, the stations are rated as clean and – particularly important for the company as a whole – as safe, and passengers give their stay in our railway stations a “comfortable” rating. It is particularly important that all construction projects were completed on time last year and, above all, again on budget. We have committed ourselves to this careful handling of public funds vis-à-vis taxpayers. And we lived up to this commitment again in 2017. In addition to the major projects Koralm Railway, Semmering base tunnel and Brenner base tunnel, a large number of stations were modernized again last year. In addition, there were key projects for freight transport such as the St. Pölten freight train bypass and the second expansion stage of the Wolfurt freight terminal. Furthermore, Infrastruktur AG invested over 110 million euros last year in the further ex- pansion of the park and ride facilities, in noise abatement measures and in safety and opera- tional management systems in order to further increase customer satisfaction. Satisfied passengers In terms of customer satisfaction, too, we again made significant gains in the past year.

In this paper we analyzed to which extent these new vehicles can replace diesel tech- nology on a large variation of regional railway lines. Our approach is based on two databases that we build: One for the announced emission-free vehicles, and one for existing lines, taking the German state of Bavaria as an example. We compare the lines and vehicles in terms of range, axle load, velocity, and spe- cific power. The study reveals that 72 out of the 73 lines can be operated with an emission-free vehicle. The main driver for BEVs is their range and maximum velocity. Depending on these characteristics, they can operate between 53% and 82% of all lines.

Je všeobecne známe, že práve železničná doprava so závislou elektrickou trakciou je najekologickejším a najúspornejším možným druhom veľkokapacitnej dopravy či už osôb alebo nákladu vzhľadom k nízkym jazdným odporom a využitia hospodárnej spotreby elektrickej energie, ktorá môže byť modernými koľajovými vozidlami do siete aj spätne rekuperovaná. Vzhľadom k vysokým finančným nákladom na výstavbu elektrifikácie na všetkých existujúcich prevádzkovaných tratiach nie je možné využívať celosieťovo závislú elektrickú trakciu, a preto sa stále vo veľkej miere využíva neekologická nezávislá motorová trakcia. Vplyvom spaľovania fosílnych palív neustále rastie koncentrácia oxidu uhličitého v zemskom obale a dochádza k nežiadúcim skleníkovým efektom, ktoré zapričiňujú zvýšenie teploty ovzdušia. Celospoločenským cieľom je zvýšiť energetickú účinnosť a zvýšiť podiel obnoviteľných zdrojov, a práve v železničnom odvetví je možnosť
