Q3 2021
Sales in Other rose considerably compared with the third quarter of 2020. This was due primarily to sales growth in commodity trading.
Income from operations (EBIT) before special items was considerably above the level of the prior-year quarter. This was mainly attributable to adjustments to provisions for variable compensation components (bonus) due to their divisional allocation in the third quarter of 2021.
