The mandatory first-time application of the IFRS 15 accounting standard, plus regulatory effects, e.g., lower EU roaming charges and national termination rates, had a negative impact at T-Mobile Netherlands. By contrast, DFMG reported a slight volume-driven increase in revenue year-on-year. EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA EBITDA in the first half of 2018 decreased by EUR 0.7 billion year-on-year to EUR 0.5 billion. Regular reviews of our investment portfolio prompted us to sell our stake in Strato and our remaining shares in Scout24 AG last year. The disposals resulted in income of EUR 0.7 billion, which was recognized as special factors in the first half of 2017. Adjusted EBITDA in our Group Development operating segment was down 2.3 percent year-on-year. Forgone earnings following the deconsolidation of Strato were the main cause of this decline. Adjusted EBITDA at T-Mobile Netherlands decreased by 5.2 percent in the first half of 2018 owing to the first-time application of IFRS 15 and to the effects of regulatory intervention. Adjusted EBITDA at DFMG increased by 4.4 percent year-on-year. EBIT EBIT decreased by EUR 0.8 billion year-on-year to EUR 0.3 billion, due primarily to the same factors described under EBITDA.
