2.4 Management report on the Group Financial position<br />

90 | 91<br />

At €5,059 million, trade accounts receivable were €823 million lower than on September 30, 2010.<br />

The decrease was mainly due to a €834 million higher reclassification to assets held for sale/disposal.<br />

The €107 million reduction in other current financial assets was mainly due to the accounting for derivatives.<br />

The €83 million decrease in other current non-financial assets related in particular to reimbursement rights<br />

in connection with non-income-based taxes, which were partly offset by higher advance payments in<br />

connection with the purchase of inventories.<br />

Current income tax assets were down by €181 million.<br />

Assets held for sale/disposal increased by €4,968 million to €5,762 million. Of this substantial increase,<br />

€4,625 million related to the disposal of the Stainless Global business area initiated in fiscal year<br />

2010/2011, and €451 million to the sale of the Xervon group in the Materials Services business area<br />

initiated in August 2011.<br />

Total equity stood at €10,382 million on September 30, 2011, almost unchanged from a year earlier. The<br />

net loss of €1,783 million in the reporting year as well as dividend payments (€252 million) and net<br />

unrealized losses from derivative financial instruments (€83 million after taxes) recognized in other<br />

comprehensive income resulted in a sharp decrease in total equity. This was partly offset by a<br />

€1,624 million increase in connection with the sale of treasury shares in July 2011. Further increases<br />

came from net actuarial gains from pensions and similar obligations (€388 million after taxes) recognized<br />

in other comprehensive income and net unrealized gains from foreign currency translation (€50 million).<br />

The €518 million decrease in non-controlling interest was mainly due to the negative earnings at<br />

<strong>ThyssenKrupp</strong> CSA.<br />

Non-current liabilities decreased in total by €820 million. This included a €1,146 million reduction in accrued<br />

pension and similar obligations, of which €548 million from updated interest rates for the revaluation of<br />

pension and healthcare obligations at September 30, 2011, and €245 million from payments to plan assets<br />

and plan closures; in addition, an increased reclassification to liabilities associated with assets held for<br />

sale/disposal resulted in a decrease of €232 million. Non-current financial debt increased by €337 million.<br />

Taking into account offsetting effects, current liabilities increased overall by €717 million.<br />

The €278 million decline in other current provisions related mainly to provisions for onerous contracts and<br />

provisions for restructuring measures. Current financial debt was €1,100 million lower mainly due to the<br />

repayment of a €750 million bond and a €399 million higher reclassification to liabilities associated with<br />

assets held for sale/disposal. The €604 million decrease in trade accounts payable was mainly due to the<br />

€1,392 million higher reclassification to liabilities associated with assets held for sale/disposal; this was<br />

partly offset by increases due to the good business situation in the reporting year. The €284 million decline<br />

in other current financial liabilities was partly due to a €215 million higher reclassification to liabilities<br />

associated with assets held for sale/disposal. Higher customer advance payments in connection with
