Hans M. Schabert: “In financial year 2015, Vossloh met the goals for operational and strategic development that were set. Sales, earnings and cash flow all recovered noticeably. Net financial debt was significantly reduced while there was a strong increase in the equity ratio. A significant contribution in this regard was made by the sale of the Spanish locomotive business to the Swiss company Stadler Rail AG, which was completed with effect from the end of December 31, 2015. In addition, substantial progress was made in the transformation of the company into an industry leader that is purely focused on rail infrastructure. From 2016, all signs at Vossloh now again point to growth.”
