In the first half of 2021, prices on the international capital markets were again primarily influenced by news relating to the Covid-19 pandemic. The relevant domestic share indices showed an upward trend – driven by the success of the restriction measures and the ongoing vaccination campaign. The DAX gained 13 per cent between January and June, while the SDAX climbed almost 9 per cent.
The Jungheinrich share price rose 13 per cent in the first six months of the current year. Following this year's low of €34.20 on 23 March 2021, the share reached €41.22 by the end of the first half of the year. Market capitalisation amounted to €4,204 million (31/12/2020: €3,733 million). The Jungheinrich share recorded its all-time highest value and its H1 peak on 27 April 2021 at €47.32.
A resolution was passed at the Annual General Meeting of Jungheinrich AG to pay a dividend for the 2020 financial year of €0.43 per preferred share and €0.41 per ordinary share. Thus the dividend payment for 2020 totalled €43 million.

For 2021, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) anticipates a noticeable increase in the global economic performance of 6.0 per cent (2020: –3.2 per cent), particularly in light of ongoing vaccination campaigns. GDP in the USA is expected to climb by 7.0 per cent (2020: –3.5 per cent). The Chinese economy is forecast to grow 8.1 per cent (2020: 2.3 per cent). Current expectations for economic development in the eurozone are very positive and indicate growth of 4.6 per cent (2020: –6.5 per cent). The German economy is forecast to grow 3.6 per cent in 2021 (2020: –4.8 per cent); Jungheinrich generates almost a quarter of its Group revenue in Germany.
The global market volume for material handling equipment grew particularly strongly in the first half of 2021 compared to the same period of the previous year, with all regions recording a considerable increase in demand. IC engine-powered counterbalanced trucks and warehousing equipment saw the most demand around the globe in the first six months of the year. Orders in Europe also rose noticeably in the reporting period, primarily driven by demand for warehousing equipment.
The Jungheinrich Group's management and reporting system was expanded in the first half of 2021 to include EBIT return on capital employed (ROCE new), a new financial key figure. The main reason for introducing this figure is that it allows better management of the operating units in the Jungheinrich Group in comparison with the previously reported EBIT return on capital employed (ROCE) by drawing on EBIT and the "Intralogistics" segment's capital employed in addition to measuring operating returns at Group level.
The new key figure will be used and reported for the first time as of 30 June 2021 to evaluate to what extent annual planning for the 2021 financial year as well as medium-term corporate goals have been achieved. It will also be used as one of the basis for calculating the long-term variable remuneration for the Board of Management.
The financial key figure ROCE new represents the rate of return based on the EBIT generated in the "Intralogistics" segment in relation to the capital employed that can be attributed to this segment. This means returns can be determined regardless of whether a customer has financing from the Jungheinrich Group's "Financial Services" segment. The figure will be regularly reported and monitored to manage the business units assigned to the "Intralogistics" segment. The definition and method for calculating the new key figure is covered in the section "Business trend and earnings position".
The previous Group-wide key figure EBIT return on capital employed (ROCE) will be reported for the last time for the financial year ending on 31 December 2021. ROCE is not reported for the "Financial Services" segment as the EBIT return on capital employed (ROCE) is not a control parameter for this segment.
In addition to the ROCE new financial key figure, the equipment ratio of trucks with lithium-ion batteries as part of both the short-term and long-term variable remuneration of the Board of Management with retroactive effect from 1 January 2021 is also a new material non-financial control parameter for the Jungheinrich Group. This is a sign of our commitment to sustainability as an integral aspect of our corporate strategy and thus one of the key targets of Strategy 2025+. The equipment ratio of lithium-ion batteries is calculated from the ratio of incoming orders for lithium-ion battery-powered trucks (units; excluding purchased electric trucks with built-in batteries) to incoming orders for battery-powered trucks, regardless of type of battery (units; excluding purchased electric trucks with built-in battery).

Due to the strong demand in Europe in particular, incoming orders, based on units, which includes orders for both new forklifts and trucks for short-term rental, rose by 51 per cent in the first half of 2021 to 81.3 thousand units (previous year: 53.9 thousand units).
At €2,419 million, the value of incoming orders, which covers all business fields – new truck business1 , short-term rental, used equipment and after sales – clearly exceeded the previous year's figure of €1,811 million by 34 per cent in the reporting period, reflecting the positive market development, especially in Europe.
Orders on hand for new truck business came to €1,292 million as of 30 June 2021 and the figure was thus 57 per cent higher than the previous-year figure (€824 million) and the figure as of the end of 2020 (€821 million). This is an increase of €468 million and €471 million respectively. The
reasons for this sharp build-up were the strong demand for material handling equipment, the increase in project orders for automated systems and the partially restricted availability of production materials in light of the ongoing and globally noticeable increase in demand in numerous sectors.
Group revenue of €1,988 million in the first half of 2021 was 10 per cent higher than in the previous-year period (€1,801 million). Revenue in Germany, the largest single market, rose by 12 per cent in the reporting period to €479 million (previous year: €429 million). Foreign revenue increased by 10 per cent to €1,509 million (previous year: €1,372 million). The foreign ratio was constant against the previous year at 76 per cent. Revenue from outside Europe reached €248 million (previous year: €232 million). This represents 12 per cent of Group revenue (previous year: 13 per cent).

The main driver of the increase in Group revenue in the first half of 2021 was the new truck business with revenue growth of €114 million. The primary reasons for this growth in revenue in the new truck business in comparison with the previous
1 New truck business consists of new trucks, automated systems and warehouse equipment, stacker cranes and load handling equipment, factory and office equipment, energy solutions and digital products.
year were the significantly higher production volume of trucks and solid growth in automated systems. Revenue from short-term rental and used equipment came to €311 million (previous year: €294 million). After sales grew noticeably with revenue amounting to €577 million in the first half of 2021 (previous year: €523 million). Revenue in the financial service business was on a par with the previous year in the first six months of the reporting year at €549 million (€553 million).

Gross profit on sales increased by €87 million to €632 million (previous year: €545 million). This position primarily benefited in the reporting period from higher capacity utilisation at the plants in comparison with the previous year. The gross margin correspondingly rose from 30.3 per cent in the same period of the previous year to 31.8 per cent.
The increase in selling expenses was disproportionately lower than revenue growth. This was due to an only moderate increase in personnel and the associated comparably low increase in personnel expenses. Following 18.6 per cent in the previous year, selling expenses represented 18.1 per cent of Group revenue.
Research and development costs fell significantly by €11 million to €45 million in the reporting period (previous year: €56 million). No impairment losses on capitalised development expenditure was recorded, whereas in the previous year significant impairment losses of €15 million were recorded.
Administrative expenses represented 3.2 per cent of Group revenue, remaining on a par with the prior-year figure (3.0 per cent). The administrative expenses contained significant expenses related to the continuation of strategic projects.
Other operating expenses declined by €7 million in the first six months of 2021 to €1 million (previous year: €8 million). In the previous year, this item contained impairment losses on goodwill in the amount of €5 million.

EBIT increased by €74 million, or 78 per cent, to €169 million (previous year: €95 million). At 8.5 per cent, EBIT ROS was significantly above the previous year's level (5.3 per cent).
The financial loss in the first half of 2021 totalled €5 million (previous year: loss of €13 million) and was particularly influenced by the results from the measurement of the securities and derivatives in the special fund. Profit was recorded here in the year under review; however, a loss was recorded in the previous year. At €165 million, EBT doubled year-on-year (€82 million). EBT return on sales amounted to 8.3 per cent (previous year: 4.5 per cent).
The income tax burden rose correspondingly to €44 million (previous year: €22 million). This is how profit or loss of €121 million (previous year €60 million) was reached and the earnings per preferred share (based on share of earnings attributable to the shareholders of Jungheinrich AG) accordingly came to €1.19 (previous year: €0.60).
Due to the significant increase in EBIT and a 10 per cent decrease in interest-bearing capital, ROCE was almost twice as high as in the same period of the previous year at 20.7 per cent (10.5 per cent).
As previously explained, ROCE new is derived from EBIT and the average capital employed in the "Intralogistics" segment. The method for calculating capital employed can be seen in the table below. The average of capital employed is calculated by including the figures as at the balance sheet date of the current quarter and the three quarters before this balance

1 Calculation of average capital employed in first half of 2021: The capital employed amounted to €1,567.8 million as at 31 March 2021, €1,611.0 million as at 31 December 2020 and €1,664.1 million as at 30 September 2020. 2 Calculation of average capital employed in first half of 2020: The capital employed amounted to €1,806.9 million as at 31 March 2020, €1,906.5 million as at 31 December 2019 and €1,910.4 million as at 30 September 2019.
ROCE new amounted to 19.5 per cent and increased yearon-year (8.3 per cent) primarily due to the sharp rise in EBIT. In addition, average capital employed decreased due to lower working capital.
Jungheinrich AG's capital requirements are covered through operating cash flows and short and long-term financing. As of 30 June 2021, the medium-term credit agreements in place amounted to €300 million. These were supplemented by short-term credit lines of €183 million. They largely comprise the bilateral credit lines of individual foreign subsidiaries. Neither the medium-term credit agreements nor the short-term credit lines were fully exhausted. Following early repayment of €77 million of tranches previously granted with variable interest rates, promissory notes amounting to a total of €123 million remain. Credit or promissory note agreements do not contain financial covenants. Jungheinrich maintains a solid liquidity reserve.

Shareholders' equity increased by €95 million to €1,641 million as of 30 June 2021 (31/12/2020: €1,546 million). This increase was largely due to profit or loss in the reporting period, which was offset mainly by the €43 million dividend payment. A dividend of €0.41 was paid to holders of ordinary
Capital structure, financial and asset position
shares for the 2020 financial year in the second quarter of 2021 (previous year: €0.46) per ordinary share and €0.43 (previous year: €0.48) per preferred share. The equity ratio amounted to 30 per cent (31/12/2020: 29 per cent).
Provisions for pensions and similar obligations declined by €14 million to €226 million (31/12/2020: €240 million), primarily due to the 0.4 per cent rise in the discount rate in Germany as at the balance sheet date against the end of the 2020 financial year.
The Group's non-current and current financial liabilities fell by €180 million to €607 million (31/12/2020: €787 million), mainly due to the repayment of promissory notes and financing for the short-term rental fleet in individual European countries. Non-current and current liabilities from financial services were slightly higher than at the end of the previous year at €1,832 million (31/12/2020: €1,803 million). The increase of €11 million in other current provisions to €255 million (previous year: €244 million) largely reflects the increase in warranty obligations. Trade accounts payable rose noticeably due to the expansion of measures to hedge risks in material orders by €60 million to €444 million (31/12/2020: €384 million). Other current and non-current liabilities climbed significantly by €50 million to €457 million (31/12/2020: €407 million). This was primarily due to the increase in contract liabilities as at the balance sheet date and the rise in long-term commitments regarding battery disposal.
As of the reporting date, net credit amounted to €260 million. The improvement of €66 million in comparison with the end of the 2020 financial year (€194 million) was largely the result of increased cash flow from profit or loss plus depreciation, amortisation and impairment losses with moderate growth in working capital and the short-term rental fleet.

2 Excluding the balance of payments for the purchase of/proceeds from the sale of securities and payments for time deposits and proceeds from time deposits totalling €–54 million (previous year: €–28 million).
Cash flow from operating activities came to €115 million for the period of January to June 2021, decreasing by €86 million against the previous-year period (€201 million). The decrease mainly resulted from the increase in cash outflows for additions to the trucks for short-term rental and trucks for lease along with receivables from financial services and the developments in the underlying financing presented in this cash flow and led to an additional negative impact on the cash flow from operating activities in the amount of €84 million. The total effect was significantly shaped by the repayment of financing for the short-term rental fleet in individual European countries. Additional cash outflows also resulted from the increase in working capital which was stated higher against the same period of the previous year.
Cash flow from investing activities was adjusted in the statement of cash flows shown above compared to the consolidated financial statements for the payments towards the purchase of and proceeds from the sale of securities and payments for time deposits and proceeds from time deposits totalling €– 54 million (previous year: €– 28 million) that are included in this item. The resulting cash flow from investing activities of €– 31 million in the reporting period was €9 million lower than in the same period of the previous year (€– 40 million) due to restrained investments in expansion and replacements.

Cash flow from financing activities of €–201 million in the first half of 2021 decreased significantly by €236 million compared to the same period last year (€35 million). This was due firstly to the repayment of promissory note tranches and the reduction of current liabilities to banks in the total amount of €127 million. Secondly, the cash flow in the same period of the previous year was impacted by obtaining an additional long-term loan amounting to €50 million, but not by a dividend payment for the previous year.

Due to significantly lower volumes in capital expenditure in comparison with the previous year, the carrying amounts of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment declined €18 million from €844 million at the end of 2020 to €826 million as at the balance sheet date.
The value of trucks for short-term rental and trucks for lease remained on a par with the previous year's figure at €812 million (31/12/2020: €805 million). Non-current and current receivables from financial services were up slightly on the previous year at €1,372 million (31/12/2020: €1,327 million).
Inventories increased €119 million, taking the figure to €656 million (31/12/2020: €537 million). The increase was largely due to the expansion of inventories in production plants resulting from higher orders to secure supply chains and the growth in inventories for project business. Important inventories were also expanded at current conditions, to avoid material cost hikes in the second half of 2021. Current trade accounts receivable remained on a par with the previous year's figure at €678 million (31/12/2020: €672 million). The decrease of €150 million in cash and cash equivalents and current securities as at the balance sheet date to €800 million (31/12/2020: €950 million) was largely related to the repayment of promissory notes and financing for the short-term rental fleet in individual European countries.

1 R&D: Research and development
The main research and development (R&D) activities were the further development of efficient lithium-ion technologybased energy storage systems, the associated improvements in terms of constructing new material handling equipment and digital products. In addition, the automation of material handling equipment and the optimisation of automated systems were another development focus.
Total R & D expenditure, which primarily consisted of internal services, came to €48 million in the first half of 2021 (previous year: €43 million). The capitalisation ratio represented 19 per cent, remaining largely on a par with the previous year's figure (16 per cent).
Amortisation of capitalised development expenditure included €15 million of impairment losses in the same period last year, while no impairment losses were recorded this reporting period.
Research and development Employees / Financial Services Risk report
The number of employees involved in development projects across the Group stood at an average of 640 in the reporting period (previous year: 634).

In the first half of 2021, the Jungheinrich Group's workforce had increased by 220 employees (full-time equivalents) against the end of December 2020. This increase was largely attributable to the sales organisation. Jungheinrich employed a total of 18,323 people as of 30 June 2021, of which 41 per cent worked in Germany and 59 per cent abroad. Throughout the Group, Jungheinrich also employed 451 temporary staff (31/12/2020: 324) as of 30 June 2021, almost all of whom worked in production plants in Germany.
For a general description of the "Financial Services" segment we refer to the detailed comments in the combined management report of the 2020 annual report.

1 1 January to 30 June
New long-term financial service agreements for €368 million were acquired in the first half of 2021 (previous year: €372 million). The eight countries with Jungheinrich financial services companies accounted for 67 per cent of the total by value (previous year: 65 per cent).
Original value of contracts on hand amounted to €3,450 million (previous year: €3,242 million). Relative to the number of new trucks sold, 40 per cent was sold via financial service agreements. At €549 million in the first half of 2021, revenue was at a similar level to the previous year (€553 million). EBIT in the "Financial Services" segment came to €8.1 million (previous year: €4.5 million).
The early identification of risks and opportunities and the steps to be taken in response are an important element of corporate governance. The Board of Management of Jungheinrich AG uses the system of risk management for its assessment of risk. The corresponding principles and procedures are defined in guidelines applicable across the Group. The functionality and effectiveness of the early-warning system for risks are an established part of regular reviews by the Corporate Audit department and the annual audits of the financial statements. Findings from these audits are reflected in the continuous development work on Jungheinrich's specific risk management system.
Since the 2020 annual report was published, no significant risks have arisen beyond those described in detail there.
Future development of the Jungheinrich Group
Due to the very strong incoming order position in the first quarter of 2021 and anticipated high demand for material handling equipment and automated systems for the rest of the year, the Board of Management raised the forecast for the 2021 year that was published on 26 March 2021 and published this in an ad-hoc announcement on 22 April 2021. This expectation has not changed since. The figures for the second quarter of 2021 reflect the anticipated, ongoing solid demand.
The Board of Management therefore confirms the forecast raised in April, whereby the current estimate for incoming orders is that the upper end of the range of €4.2 billion to €4.5 billion (2020: €3.8 billion) could be slightly exceeded. Due to significant challenges in the supply chain, Group revenue is expected to fall within a range of €4.0 billion and €4.2 billion (2020: €3.8 billion). Based on current estimates, EBIT will be between €300 million and €350 million in 2021 (2020: €218 million). Accordingly, EBIT return on sales is expected to range between 7.5 per cent and 8.3 per cent (2020: 5.7 per cent). EBT is expected to amount to between €280 million and €330 million (2020: €200 million). EBT return on sales should come to between 7.0 per cent and 7.9 per cent (2020: 5.3 per cent). We are anticipating ROCE between 17 per cent and 21 per cent (2020: 13.5 per cent). The financial key figure ROCE new is also expected to be in a range of 17 per cent to 21 per cent (2020: 11.3 per cent). Moreover, we expect that Jungheinrich will reach a net credit of significantly above €300 million at the end of the 2021 financial year (2020: net credit of €194 million).
This forecast is based on the assumption that there will be no more widespread lockdowns or plant closures over the further course of the year and that the Group's supply chains will remain intact. The unchanged forecast ranges despite the advanced year reflect the very tight procurement situation, particularly for electronic components and numerous other parts and components, and the worsening international transport bottlenecks. As a result, production may be curtailed to an extent that cannot be estimated at present.
We will continue to fully implement measures to ensure Jungheinrich's ability to deliver.
The Strategy 2025+ goals and measures that were published in November 2020 will be fully pursued and key targets for 2025 reviewed until the end of the year.
Unforeseeable developments may cause the actual business trend to differ from expectations, assumptions and estimates by the management of Jungheinrich that are reproduced in this interim report. Factors that may lead to such deviations include changes in the economic environment within the intralogistics sector – including the consequences of the further development of the Covid-19 pandemic – as well as changes to the exchange rate and interest rates. No responsibility is therefore taken for the forward-looking statements in this interim report.

The consolidated financial statements of Jungheinrich AG as of 31 December 2020 were prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) applicable on the balance sheet date. All standards and interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee endorsed by the EU and effective as of 31 December 2020 were applied. These interim consolidated financial statements as of 30 June 2021 were also prepared in accordance with IAS 34. This interim report has not been audited or reviewed by auditors.
The interim consolidated financial statements as of 30 June 2021 were prepared in euros (€). Unless indicated otherwise, disclosure is in millions of euros. The statement of profit or loss has been prepared using the cost of sales accounting method.
The accounting principles applied to prepare the interim financial statements as of 30 June 2021 and calculate comparative figures for the previous year are the same as those applied to the consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2020. These principles are described in detail in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in the 2020 annual report.
The new amendments and changes to IFRS that became mandatory on 1 January 2021 have had no material impact on Jungheinrich's interim financial statements as of 30 June 2021. They are described in detail in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in the 2020 annual report.
From the 2020 reporting year onwards, the inflows and outflows of time deposits with an original term of more than three months and without a short-term, cost-free termination option are presented in the cash flow from investing activities. The adjustments were made for the first time in the 2020 consolidated financial statements. In the published interim report as of 30 June 2020, these time deposits were presented under cash and cash equivalents. The effects of adjustments in accordance with IAS 8.41 on the individual items of the consolidated cash flow statement for the first half of 2020 can be seen in the following table.

In the consolidated financial statements, it is necessary to a certain degree to make estimates and assumptions that have an impact on the level and recognition of assets and liabilities stated on the statement of financial position as at the balance sheet date and of income and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions must be made primarily to determine the economic useful lives of property, plant and equipment, trucks for short-term rental and trucks for lease uniformly throughout the Group, to conduct impairment tests on assets and to account for and measure provisions, including those for pensions, risks associated with contractually agreed residual values, warranty obligations and legal disputes. Estimates and assumptions are made on the basis of the latest knowledge available, historical experience as well as on additional factors such as future expectations.
The estimates and assumptions made for Jungheinrich AG's consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2020 are described in detail in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in the 2020 annual report.
Within the framework of their financial services business, Jungheinrich Group companies conclude contracts with customers either directly or with a leasing company or bank acting as an intermediary. The classification of the lease contracts, and thus the way they are reported in the accounts, depends on the attribution of the economic ownership of the lease object.
If economic ownership is attributed to Jungheinrich as the lessor, the agreement is classified as an "operating lease" and the trucks are capitalised as "trucks for lease from financial services" at historical acquisition or manufacturing cost and then depreciated over their economic useful lives.
Leased equipment acquired before 1 January 2021 was depreciated over an economic useful life of six or nine years, depending on product group. Depending on the product group, they were depreciated at 30 or 20 per cent of their cost in each of the first two years, after which they were reduced using the straight-line method until the end of their useful lives.
This depreciation method is used to ensure that the remaining carrying amounts of the leased equipment do not, or not materially, exceed the anticipated fair value if the customer terminates the contract in the first two years.
The Group analysed contract terminations in the past and discovered that the majority of leases with customers run for the originally planned term. Jungheinrich has noticed that applying the straight-line method of depreciation for trucks for lease from financial services better represents usage history and has thus adjusted estimates relating to anticipated depreciation as of 1 January 2021. All leased equipment acquired from 1 January 2021 will be reduced by straight-line depreciation during the term of the customer contract down to the guaranteed residual value.
This change to estimates had no material impact on the Jungheinrich Group's earnings position in the first half of 2021. Based on the information currently available, a positive impact on earnings before financial income (expense) and income tax expense of around €3 million is expected for the 2021 financial year and around €10 million for the 2022 financial year. From the 2023 financial year onward the adjustment to the depreciation method is not expected to have any material impact.
In addition to the parent company, Jungheinrich AG, Hamburg, a total of 78 foreign and 26 domestic companies were included in the interim consolidated financial statements. The scope of consolidation comprised 91 fully consolidated subsidiaries, including one structured entity, which were directly or indirectly controlled by Jungheinrich AG. Twelve joint ventures and one associated company were accounted for using the equity method.
As part of the merger by absorption, JT Energy Systems GmbH, Freiberg, took over all assets and debts of the absorbed businesses JT mopro GmbH, Glauchau, and JT lipro GmbH, Freiberg as of 1 January 2021.
Along with the fusion control approval in the second quarter of 2021, KION GROUP AG, Frankfurt am Main, acquired 50 per cent of the shares in Jungheinrich Profile GmbH, Hamburg. The business was then renamed Schwerter Profile GmbH. As of that date Schwerter Profile GmbH, Hamburg, became a joint venture accounted for using the equity method. The purpose of the joint venture, which began operations on 1 July 2021, is the development, manufacturing and distribution of steel profiles and other steel products. On 1 July 2021 Schwerter Profile GmbH took over the portion of the assets attributable to the mill operations of the insolvent company Hoesch Schwerter Profile GmbH, Schwerte, and at the same time a long-term land-use agreement for the rolling mill property came into effect.
Jungheinrich generates revenue from contracts with customers by providing goods and services both at a specific point in time and over time. The Group also generates revenue from short-term rental and lease contracts whereby Jungheinrich is the lessor.

The carrying amounts of the financial instruments regularly measured at fair value in the consolidated financial statements have been categorised in the table below by their fair value hierarchy level pursuant to IFRS 13 and based on the information and input factors used to determine them.
The fair value hierarchy is based on the input factors used:
Level 1 – (unchanged) market prices quoted on active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 – input data other than listed market prices, which can be observed either directly (as a price) or indirectly (derived from prices) for the asset or liability
Level 3 – referenced input factors used for the measurement of the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data

1 Assigned to the measurement category "at fair value through profit or loss"
2 Without investments measured using the equity method
The fair value of level 1 financial instruments was determined on the basis of stock market quotations as at the balance sheet date.
The fair value of level 2 financial instruments was determined in line with generally acknowledged valuation models based on discounted cash flow analyses and using observable current market prices for similar instruments. The fair value of currency forwards is determined using the mean spot rate on the balance sheet date, adjusted up or down to reflect the remaining term of the futures contract. The fair value of interest rate derivatives is determined on the basis of the market interest rates and interest rate curves on the balance sheet date, taking their maturities into account. Jungheinrich has taken counterparty risks into consideration when measuring fair value.
The fair value of level 3 financial instruments was determined using the generally accepted evaluation model of discounting future cash flows (discounted cash flow method). A market-oriented approach was used both to determine the discount rate as well as to forecast long-term development. A company-specific discount rate and the planned cash flows from the five year plan, created by the equity investments and checked by the management of Jungheinrich AG, were used. Forecasts for long-term revenue and returns formed the basis for cash flows beyond the budget period. Expectations regarding future market development and assumptions concerning the development of macroeconomic factors were taken into consideration. The result of the fair value evaluation was recognised under financial income (expense) and was immaterial for the Group.
No transfers between levels 1 and 2 took place in the reporting period.
