The increase in income from the reversal of provisions and accrued liabilities mainly results from unutilized provisions for legal risks and sales-related measures in connection with the diesel issue. Foreign exchange gains mainly comprise gains from changes in exchange rates between the dates of recognition and payment of receivables and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, as well as exchange rate gains resulting from measurement at the closing rate. Foreign exchange losses from these items are included in other operating expenses.
