The interest expenses mainly relate to interest expense on financial liabilities. This item reflects the comparatively higher interest conditions for refinancing over the last twelve months.

The prepayment penalties include the fees for the unscheduled repayment of loans during the fixed interest period.

The deterioration in the swap valuation result is due primarily to a more substantial negative impact of hedge break costs compared to in the previous year.
