The share of profit/loss of associates and joint ventures included in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method improved by EUR 5.3 billion compared with the prior year to EUR 2.5 billion.

This was primarily attributable to reversals of impairment losses recognized in the reporting period of EUR 2.1 billion and EUR 0.3 billion, respectively, on the carrying amounts of the investments in the GD tower companies and in GlasfaserPlus. These reversals of impairment losses were, at the GD tower companies, due to lower discount rates and improved planning, and at GlasfaserPlus, almost entirely due to lower discount rates. Level 3 input parameters were used to determine the pro rata recoverable amounts – as fair value less costs of disposal – of EUR 5.7 billion for the GD tower companies and of EUR 0.7 billion for GlasfaserPlus (after deduction of net debt). Discount rates of 6.38 % for the GD tower companies and 5.14 % for GlasfaserPlus were used.

In the prior year, impairment losses of EUR 2.6 billion and EUR 0.1 billion, respectively, were recognized on the carrying amounts of the investments in the GD tower companies and in GlasfaserPlus. These impairment losses were due entirely to higher discount rates due to macroeconomic developments in 2023. By contrast, the business outlook for the GD tower companies improved slightly. The recoverable amounts were EUR 3.4 billion for the GD tower companies and EUR 0.3 billion for GlasfaserPlus. Discount rates of 7.18 % for the GD tower companies and 5.70 % for GlasfaserPlus were used.
