The decline in income from companies accounted for using the equity method resulted primarily from the lower income contribution from OAO Severneftegazprom as well as from the earnings effects from the final application of the equity method for the South Korean company Heesung Catalysts Corporation.
Income from the disposal of participations was primarily attributable to the sale of 19.7 million shares in K+S Aktiengesellschaft, which resulted in a gain of €887 million.
The interest result improved compared with the previous year due to higher interest income and declining interest expenses. The increase in interest income is primarily attributable to income from interest and currency swaps as well as higher interest rates compared with the previous year. The repayment of two bonds led to lower interest expenses.
Miscellaneous financial income and miscellaneous financial expenses relate to gains and losses from the translation of individually hedged financing-related receivables and payables and the associated hedging instruments. Furthermore, these items include expense and income from the compounding and discounting of long-term liabilities and receivables as required by IFRS.
