annual report

15.04.2010

In the 2009 business year, the Jungfrau Railways Group achieved its 
best result ever. The company surpassed the previous year´s result by
5.5%, accomplishing a record profit of CHF 22.1 million.

The decisive factor for this success lies in the fact that the 
company was able to confront and weather the difficult circumstances.
The fear of swine flu, strong franc and economic crisis led to around
100,000 fewer Asian visitors travelling to the Jungfraujoch-Top of 
Europe in comparison to the previous year. Thanks to special offers 
in Switzerland and Europe, the Jungfrau Railways Group was able to 
compensate for this drop. Last year, some 651,000 visitors travelled 
up to Europe´s highest-altitude railway station - 3.7 per cent more 
than in 2008. At CHF 134.3 million, the group recorded the second 
highest revenue in its history. At the same time it was possible to 
reduce personnel costs, resulting in a record profit at the end of 
the year. Because of this excellent result, the executive board will 
propose to the AGM a dividend increase from CHF 1.40 to 1.60.

As well as the Jungfraujoch-Top of Europe, our other excursion 
destinations, First, Harder Kulm, Kleine Scheidegg and Winteregg were
also well frequented. The Harder railway achieved a record profit and
the First aerial cableway recorded the best summer in its history. 
The winter-sport business also went exceedingly well. The revenue in 
the whole Jungfrau Region amounted to CHF 44.0 million, only 1.2 per 
cent behind the record year of 2008.
