Despite the energy crisis, high inflation and an economic downturn in 2023, the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) have performed well economically. This is primarily thanks to the positive passenger development: With almost 494 million people traveling by train or bus last year, ÖBB recorded an increase of 10,5 percent compared to 2022, thus reaching a historic high.

Overall, the ÖBB Group generated a solid plus in 2023, with earnings before taxes (EBT) amounting to 111,6 million euros. This corresponds to a decrease of 42,2 percent compared to 2022 (193,2 million euros), although this comparability is affected by a special effect in 2022.

ÖBB CEO Andreas Matthä commented: "We have managed to achieve a stable increase despite the economically challenging situation. This is thanks in no small part to our passengers. In Austria, never before have so many people travelled by train. I am very pleased about this influx and popularity."
