    2014 business year - traffic income once again over 120 million

    The Jungfrau Railway Group achieved a traffic income of 121.5 million
    francs in the 2014 business year, the same as the previous year.

    Jungfraujoch - Top of Europe

    In 2014, for the first time over 850,000 guests travelled to Europe's
    highest-altitude railway station. Excursion traffic to the Jungfraujoch -
    Top of Europe continues to benefit from rising demand from Asia. 866,000
    people visited the Jungfraujoch, representing an increase of 5.2 percent
    over the previous year and the best result in its history. Traffic income
    recorded a plus of 1.8 per cent. The fact that Jungfrau Railways has
    intensively cultivated the Asian market and been able to further strengthen
    the Jungfraujoch - Top of Europe brand has clearly paid off.

    Winter sport

    The result for the Jungfrau Ski Region fell below average from the
    beginning of 2014 to the end of season in spring 2014. The drop in revenue
    was in particular due to the declining number of holiday guests. The
    2014/15 winter season was also faced with a difficult start due to
    unfavourable weather conditions. Thanks to powerful snowmaking equipment,
    it was possible, for Jungfrau Railways to open many of the facilities in
    its Kleine Scheidegg area from mid-December 2014 and provide runs with good
    conditions. The Jungfrau Ski Region is a cooperative product in which the
    Jungfrau Railway Group holds more than a 60% share. In 2014, fewer than one
    million skier visits were recorded for the first time. Traffic income in
    the winter-sport business segment fell by 2.2 million francs, equivalent to
    a minus of 9 per cent.

    Experience mountains

    In the experience mountains business segment, which comprises excursion
    traffic to the Harder Kulm, First and Winteregg-Mürren, the Jungfrau
    Railway Group recorded consistently good results. From 1 January to 31
    December 2014, the Harder Railway increased its traffic income by 13.7 per
    cent. The First Aerial Cableway achieved an increase in revenue of 5.3 per
    cent. The Lauterbrunnen-Mürren Rail and Cableway achieved a growth in
    traffic income of 8.1 per cent. Overall, traffic income for the experience
    mountains segment increased by 7.5 percent, setting a new record.

    Prospects for 2015

    The start of 2015 has proved a success. Up to 15 February 2015, the
    Jungfraujoch showed an increase in visitor numbers of 16.2 percent compared
    to the previous year. The development in the euro exchange rate will
    present a challenge for the Jungfrau Railway Group. It is not anticipated
    that winter business will be greatly affected in the short term, however
    delayed effects will be felt. The diversification of the business sectors
    and continuing intensive cultivation of the Asian markets give Jungfrau
    Railways confidence in regard to summer business.

    To combat the downward trend in winter sport and the difficult
    exchange-rate situation, Jungfrau Railways are focusing on a continued
    increase in quality. With the planned V-Cableway project, travel times will
    be considerably reduced and a direct public-transport link, a terminal with
    shops and ski storage areas and facilities meeting international standards
    created.
