Equity-accounted investments include joint ventures in the amount of €9,713 million (previous year: €8,284 million) and associates in the amount of €536 million (previous year: €5,244 million).

In the previous year, the additions to equity-accounted investments related mainly to the acquisition of the shares of Suzuki Motor Corporation in the amount of €1,765 million. Starting in fiscal 2011, adjustments to the carrying amounts in profit or loss and dividends received are presented separately in equity method accounting. The prior-year figures were adjusted accordingly. The changes in consolidation of equity-accounted investments in the fiscal year relate to the reclassification of the shares of Suzuki to other equity investments in the amount of €1,635 million and the remeasurement of the shares of MAN SE due to its initial consolidation in the amount of €2,694 million. The expense incurred as a result of the discontinuation of equity accounting (€263 million for Suzuki and €292 million for MAN) was reported under disposals.

Of the other changes recognized in other comprehensive income, €45 million (previous year: €146 million) is attributable to joint ventures and €–439 million (previous year: €366 million) to associates. They are mainly the result of foreign exchange differences in the amount of €–195 million (previous year: €547 million), actuarial gains/losses in the amount of €8 million (previous year: €–101 million) and gains/losses on the fair value measurement of cash flow hedges in the amount of €–172 million (previous year: €–119 million).
