Vossloh division indicators

The Vossloh Group´s operations break down into two divisions, i.e., Rail Infrastructure as well as Motive Power&Components. The accounting methods of all segments are identical. Control of groupwide operations and assessment of segment performance are based on EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes), EBIT margin (EBIT as a percentage of net sales), and ROCE (return on capital employed, viz. the EBIT-to-CE ratio in %). This financial information discloses the strong and weak points of each segment/division.
