The income from logistics services provided by METRO LOGISTICS to non-group companies are offset by expenses from logistics services, which are reported under other operating expenses.
Gains from the disposal of fixed assets and gains from the reversal of impairment losses include income in the amount of €72 million mainly from the disposal of real estate that will be used fully or for the most part by third parties in the future (2016/17: €158 million). This includes income of €65 million from the sale of real estate assets that METRO plans to continue to use in the medium term under tenancy agreements (2016/17: €6 million). In addition, this item essentially includes gains from the reversal of impairment losses in the amount of €4 million (2016/17: €3 million).
The decline in services rendered to suppliers by €25 million is predominantly attributable to Poland and France.
Income from deconsolidation primarily comprises retrospective effects from the deconsolidation of the Polish Real organisation in the 2013/14 financial year (2016/17: €36 million, mainly from the disposal of Chengdu Qingyue Property Services Co., Ltd., China).
Other operating income includes cost allocations and cost shares as well as a large number of individually insignificant individual items.
