Investment properties reported under non-current assets increased by € 4,212.1 million, € 3,698.6 million of which is due to the result of the property valuation process.

Cash and cash equivalents increased by € 1,640.3 million from € 613.3 million to € 2,253.6 million, largely due to borrowings on the debt market, contributing to the increase in assets.

The € 2,243.8 million increase in total equity from € 24,831.8 million to € 27,075.6 million results in particular from the profit for the period in the amount of € 2,680.1 million. The cash dividend distributions in the sum of € 486.0 million had the opposite effect.

Liabilities increased by € 6,867.5 million from € 37,585.6 million to € 44,453.1 million, in particular due to the bond placement on June 16, 2021 in the amount of € 4 billion and the issue of a green bond in the amount of € 600 million in the first quarter of 2021. The amount of non-derivative financial liabilities rose by € 5,405.0 million, with € 4,489.2 million attributable to the increase in non-current non-derivative financial liabilities. Deferred tax liabilities increased by € 1,361.2 million, mostly due to the fair value measurement of Investment Properties.

Fair Value
Fair value is particularly relevant with regard to valuation in accordance with IAS 40 in conjunction with IFRS 13. The fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction.
