Revenue, service revenue
Revenue in our Group Headquarters & Group Services segment decreased in the reporting year by 2.8 %, mainly as a result of lower intragroup revenue from land and buildings due to the ongoing optimization of space. This was offset by increased service revenue owing to a higher cost basis for intragroup settlements and additional issues at Deutsche Telekom IT.
Adjusted EBITDA AL, EBITDA AL
In the reporting year, adjusted EBITDA AL of EUR ‑768 million was slightly up against the prior-year level. We were able to almost entirely offset the decline in intragroup revenue from land and buildings due to the ongoing optimization of space, mainly due to lower operating expenses at our Group Services. Overall, special factors negatively affecting EBITDA AL – in particular due to socially responsible staff-related measures – totaled EUR 146 million in the reporting year and EUR 301 million in the prior year.
Profit/loss from operations (EBIT)
The year-on-year improvement in EBIT by EUR 221 million to EUR ‑1.8 billion was largely due to the positive development of EBITDA, which in the prior year had been negatively impacted by the aforementioned higher special factors. Furthermore, depreciation, amortization and impairment losses decreased, mainly in the area of land and buildings as a result of the ongoing optimization of our real estate portfolio, and due to a lower capitalization rate for own capitalized costs in connection with IT projects.
Cash capex (before spectrum investment), cash capex
Cash capex increased year-on-year by EUR 29 million, primarily due to higher cash capex for vehicles.
