Expenses for external maintenance services increased due to higher real estate-related maintenance expenses and higher maintenance expenses for equipment, facilities and the IT infrastructure.
For details of lease expenses, see Note 45.
The HHLA Group regards the impairment losses on financial assets listed above as immaterial and has therefore decided not to show them separately in the income statement.
Other operating expenses also include numerous smaller individual items.
