6 – Income from companies accounted for using the equity method

The largest portion of income from companies accounted for using the equity method pertained to the Oil & Gas segment, especially the companies GASCADE Gastransport GmbH and Nord Stream AG. The shares in Styrolution Holding GmbH disposed as of November 17, 2014, were the predominant factor behind the decline in income from companies accounted for using the equity method in the first quarter of 2015.
