The income from investments in joint ventures and associates relates mainly to companies in China. This income includes not only the attributable net results for the year, but also the effects of eliminations of attributable intergroup profits and losses.

Borrowing costs of € 18.6 million (2014: € 5.1 million) were capitalized in the year under review, resulting in a corresponding improvement in the net interest result. The average borrowing interest rate applied by the Group in the fiscal year was 3.0 percent (2014: 3.0 percent).

The interest effect of interest-bearing provisions includes net interest expenses from accumulation of interest on pension obligations and calculated proceeds from plan assets totaling € 41.5 million (2014: € 40.2 million) and interest expenses and interest income from the accumulation and discounting of provisions of € 6.5 million (2014: € 7.9 million).

Other financial income and expenses primarily result from exchange-rate effects in connection with financial transactions.
