Notes to the statement of income


Operating income in “Other activities”

Operating income in other activities was in line with previous year. The “Other” costs were higher due to legacy items and one-offs. The results for pensions for 2012 have been restated for the revised IAS 19.

Net financing expenses

Net financing expenses increased by €13 million to €63 million. This was driven by:

  • Higher net interest (€5 million) on net debt mainly driven by a lower financing income.
  • Higher financing expenses related to pensions (€4 million) due to lower discount rates used to calculate asset returns.
  • Lower discount rates on provisions.
