Total assets were up €1,835 million as compared with December 31, 2020, to €14,759 million as of June 30, 2021.

Noncurrent assets increased by €1,492 million to €8,226 million (December 31, 2020: €6,734 million). The key factor here was the addition of noncurrent assets as part of the initial consolidation of RFM. Current assets were up €343 million to €6,533 million (December 31, 2020: €6,190 million). In particular, this was also due to the acquisition of the RFM business.

Equity grew to €6,701 million, increasing by €1,057 million as compared with December 31, 2020. This increase was largly attributable to income after income taxes.

Noncurrent liabilities were down €272 million to €4,644 million as of June 30, 2021 (December 31, 2020: €4,916 million). This stemmed principally from the change in provisions for pensions and other post-employment benefits, which dropped by €431 million to €1,692 million (December 31, 2020: €2,123 million). In contrast, noncurrent financial liabilities rose by €74 million to €2,351 million (December 31, 2020: €2,277 million), mainly on account of the initial consolidation of RFM. Current liabilities were also up €1,050 million to €3,414 million as of the reporting date (December 31, 2020: €2,364 million). The key drivers of this development were increases in trade accounts payable and other provisions.
