德国国有铁路公司德铁（Deutsche Bahn）在2026年上半年实现了七年来核心铁路业务的首次盈利[1]。公司在这一时期录得净利润1.47亿欧元，相比2025年同期亏损7.6亿欧元，实现扭亏[1]。运营利润同步大幅改善，增长6.5亿欧元至4.15亿欧元[1]。首席执行官埃夫琳·帕拉表示："七年来我们的铁路业务首次回到盈利状态"[1]，这一成果源于结构重组、成本削减和管理层裁员等措施[1]。
在业绩好转的同时，德铁的运营指标也有所提升。2026年上半年集团收入增长近2%至136亿欧元[1]，客运数量达9.6亿人次，较去年同期增加1700万人次[1]。不过，长途列车准点率为59%，相比去年同期下降4个百分点[1]。尽管上半年实现盈利，德铁在2025年全年仍累计亏损超过10亿欧元[1]。
Deutsche Bahn, Germany's state-owned railway operator, reported a net profit of €147 million in the first half of 2026, marking its return to profitability in its core rail business after seven years [1]. This represents a dramatic turnaround from the same period in 2025, when the company posted a loss of €760 million, with operating profit improving by €650 million to €415 million [1]. Chief Executive Evelyn Palla attributed the recovery to structural reorganization, cost reduction measures, and management layoffs, stating that "for the first time in seven years, our rail business is back in the black" [1].
The company's operational performance showed mixed results alongside the financial recovery. Revenue increased by nearly 2 percent to €13.6 billion, while passenger numbers rose to 960 million, up 17 million from the prior year [1]. However, punctuality on long-distance trains declined to 59 percent, a drop of four percentage points compared to the year-earlier period [1]. The turnaround came after Deutsche Bahn recorded a full-year net loss exceeding €1 billion in 2025 [1].
