Equity-accounted investments include joint ventures in the amount of €7,563 million (previous year: €6,870 million) and associates in the amount of €370 million (previous year: €439 million).
In fiscal year 2012, €12,566 million of the changes in the consolidated Group concerning equity-accounted investments related to the reclassification of the shares of Porsche Holding Stuttgart because of the initial consolidation of that company. The income of €10,716 million from the remeasurement of the existing shares held resulting from discontinuation of equity-method accounting was reported under additions.
Of the other changes recognized in other comprehensive income, €–162 million (previous year: €–245 million) is attributable to joint ventures and €–7 million (previous year: €2 million) to associates. They are mainly the result of foreign exchange differences in the amount of €–136 million (previous year: €–48 million), pension plan remeasurements in the amount of €–9 million (previous year: €–135 million) and losses on the fair value measurement of cash flow hedges in the amount of €–36 million (previous year: €–185 million).
