De økonomiske virkninger af resultatforbedringerne ud over de oprindeligt fastsatte 6 % er udlignet ved opkrævning af udbytte, og DSB har ikke haft mulighed for at anvende disse resultatforbedringer til at øge sin egenkapital eller berige sig.
The economic effects of the surplus profits in excess of the 6 % initially envisaged were neutralised by the collection of dividends, and DSB was not able to use these surplus profits to increase its equity capital or to benefit financially.
