Adjusted earnings per share of EUR0.50 exceeded the result of the previous year despite an increase in minority interests.

The consolidated balance sheet, which has developed especially positively in the first quarter of 2018 due to a placement of Aumann shares, showed equity of EUR486.9 million as at 30 June 2018 (EUR385.1 million as at 31 December 2017).
