Other

2nd Quarter 2018

Sales in Other were considerably above the figure for the prior-year quarter, mainly as a result of higher sales volumes and prices in raw materials trading. Income from operations before special items rose considerably due to lower contributions to provisions and an improved foreign currency result.
