With the increase in sales, materials expense also rose year-on-year by 18% to €32.0 billion. At the same<br />

time it increased as a percentage of sales by 1 percentage point to 65%. The chart below shows how this<br />

share varies in the individual business areas. In cooperation with the Group companies, our global<br />

purchasing again ensured that the supply of materials for our plants was secured without delivery<br />

bottlenecks in the reporting year. Despite higher raw material prices we were able to achieve sustainable<br />

savings.<br />
