Where no material differences between the carrying amounts and fair values of the financial instruments are reported under non-current financial liabilities with details of fair value, they are recognised at their carrying amount. Otherwise, the fair value must be stated.

In the reporting period, changes in value were reported in the income statement on financial assets and liabilities netted in the amount of € - 804 thousand (31 December 2025: € - 810 thousand) that are held at fair value through profit and loss.

The valuation methods and key unobservable input factors for calculating fair value are described in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements as of 31 December 2025.
