Vossloh AGM: Looking back on a successful 2020 fiscal year, strong start into the current fiscal year 
  . Rail as a mode of transport plays a key role in achieving climate targets 
  . CEO Oliver Schuster explains in his speech Vossloh's outstanding positioning 
  . All agenda items received a high approval, including a dividend of EUR 1.00 per share 
Werdohl, May 19, 2021. Today, the Vossloh AG ordinary Annual General Meeting took place virtually in Düsseldorf. The 
Executive Board's speeches first looked back on a successful 2020. Oliver Schuster, Chief Executive Officer of Vossloh 
AG, explains the main reasons for this: "Passenger and freight rail services are a critical part of our infrastructure. 
Therefore, keeping them going is particularly important in times of crisis. And that, in terms of rail track, is 
exactly our business. With our products and services, we make a significant contribution to the functioning of the rail 
network." Schuster continues: "In light of the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, we could not have implemented our 
2019 Group-wide performance program at a better time. Not least because of this we have been able to come through the 
crisis in a financially stable manner." This also applies in view of the extremely successful start to 2021. Dr. Thomas 
Triska, Chief Financial Officer of Vossloh AG: "The revenue and operational profitability of the Vossloh Group have 
grown significantly in the first three months of 2021 compared to the same period of the previous year. It is Vossloh's 
best operating result for the first quarter in ten years." 
The increasing amount of traffic in the next few years means Vossloh can look confidently to the future. "Programs to 
promote rail-based mobility on an unprecedented scale have been launched worldwide in recent months. Over the coming 
decades, the importance of rail-based mobility will be hard to overestimate in terms of its contribution to meeting a 
steadily growing demand for transportation and achieving climate targets," Schuster explains in his speech. In relation 
to the strategic approach of Vossloh, he continues: "Our revised and refined Group strategy is based on three main 
pillars: strengthening our existing product and service business, expanding the latter to include digital-based, smart 
maintenance solutions, and a series of measures relating to the way we would like to work in the future and what we 
attach particular importance to in this respect. The topic of sustainability plays a particularly central role here, 
which we now have embedded in our corporate DNA more firmly than ever before." 
At today's Annual General Meeting, all the items on the agenda proposed by the Executive Board and Supervisory Board 
were approved by large majorities. This includes the proposal to pay a dividend of EUR1.00 per share. In total, around 74 
percent of the share capital was represented at Vossloh AG's Annual General Meeting. 
The full speeches are available online at Annual General Meeting | Vossloh AG, along with the presentation and voting 
results.
