Other

3rd Quarter 2016

Sales in Other were considerably down compared with the third quarter of 2015. This was essentially due to the expiration of supply contracts at the end of 2015 in connection with the disposal of our share in the Ellba Eastern Private Ltd. joint operation in Singapore at the end of 2014. Income from operations before special items declined considerably, primarily because of valuation effects for the long-term incentive (LTI) program. The third quarter of 2016 included additions to provisions for the LTI program, whereas provisions had been released in the same quarter of the previous year.
