Corporate Services segment

Business performance

The Corporate Services segment comprises holding companies and other service companies that provide services such as IT and general administration across all segments.

The segment’s adjusted EBIT amounted to €60.5 million (Q1–Q3 2022: €139.5 million). Excluding internal income from equity investments, adjusted EBIT in the first nine months of 2023 came to minus €71.7 million, which was below the figure for the prior-year period of minus €58.0 million. This was due to expenditure on strategic projects and an increase in personnel expenses in connection with variable remuneration components. Adjusted EBITDA stood at €79.3 million (Q1–Q3 2022: €160.5 million) or minus €52.9 million (Q1–Q3 2022: minus €37.0 million) if intragroup income from equity investments is excluded.
