6-month report

06.09.2011

In the first semester of 2011, the Berner Oberland-Bahnen AG achieved
a revenue of CHF 15.1 million, an increase of 12.6 per cent compared
to the previous year. Both the Bernese Oberland Railway and the
Schynige Platte Railway, which also belongs to the company, carried
more passengers than in the first six months of the previous year.
Growth was recorded specifically in the Asian group-travel business.
Expenditure increased by 9.8 per cent in the first semester of 2011
in comparison to last year. The Berner Oberland-Bahnen AG spent more
on maintenance work. The company received CHF 6.1 million in
compensation for services in the public transport sector, although
this was cut by 4.6 per cent in comparison to the previous year. The
result was a half-year deficit of CHF 0.9 million. The company thus
performed better than in the first semester of 2010, when the deficit
was 17.3 per cent higher. Barring severe incidents, the Berner
Oberland-Bahnen AG expects to present a balanced result at the end of
2011. An attractive mountain hotel was able to be opened on Schynige
Platte on 28 May 2011, after a period of construction and renovation
work. The company has invested CHF 7.8 million in the renovations and
an extension. The result is a building with a spacious vantage
terrace and a modern interior. Initial experience shows that the new
mountain hotel has been well received by guests and is contributing
towards establishing Schynige Platte as a popular excursion
destination.
