26 Earnings Situation<br />
Gas<br />
Gas’s sales were up by 8 percent to around €23 billion (prior<br />
year: €21.3 billion).<br />

Gas 23,012 21,348 +8<br />
The Upstream reporting unit’s sales were up by €126 million.<br />
Positive energy price developments, particularly for output<br />
from Yuzhno Russkoye gas field in Siberia, more than offset<br />
lower production at North Sea gas fields.<br />
The Midstream reporting unit grew sales by €1.2 billion. Lower<br />
sales volume was more than offset by higher sales prices.<br />
The <strong>com</strong>missioning of new storage capacity led to higher sales<br />
at the storage business.<br />
Lower transport revenues in the regulated business and lower<br />
sales of control and balancing energy resulted in a decrease<br />
in sales at Transmission/Shareholdings.<br />
Trading<br />
Trading recorded sales of about €70.5 billion in <strong>2011</strong>. The<br />
increase relative to the prior year resulted mainly from an<br />
increase in trading activity in power and gas. On the gas<br />
side, optimization of long-term supply contracts and of E.ONowned<br />
gas-fired power plants led to a significant increase<br />
in sales, as did an adjustment of our hedging strategy. On the<br />
power side, sales rose in particular because of the marketing<br />
of additional output from E.ON-owned power plants and from<br />
an increase in trading activities to optimize the value of E.ON’s<br />
generation portfolio. The increase in sales is reflected almost<br />
identically in the increase in cost of materials, since optimization<br />
involves buying quantities and then reselling them. The<br />
Consolidated Statements of In<strong>com</strong>e include Proprietary Trading’s<br />
sales net of the associated cost of materials.<br />

Germany 37,244 36,403 +2<br />
The increase is entirely attributable to the Distribution Networks<br />
reporting unit, mainly because it recorded significantly<br />
higher sales in conjunction with Germany’s Renewable Energy<br />
Law. A regulation-driven decline in network charges was the<br />
main negative factor.<br />
Sales at the Non-regulated/Other reporting unit were on par<br />
with the prior-year figure.<br />
