Interest expenses rose primarily because of increased interest rates and the higher balance of financial indebtedness.

Net interest income from other long-term personnel obligations increased due to the rise in the discount rate.

Write-downs on / losses from securities and loans increased mainly because of losses from the fair value measurement of securities.

The decline in other financial expenses was primarily due to lower net expenses associated with the translation of bonds and the valuation of the corresponding hedging instruments against interest and currency risks.
