For assets leased under operating leases, payments recognized in the income statement amounted to €1,463 million (previous year: €1,330 million). With respect to internally used assets, €1,306 million (previous year: €1,171 million) of this figure is attributable to minimum lease payments and €51 million (previous year: €50 million) to contingent lease payments. The payments of €106 million (previous year: €109 million) under subleases primarily relate to minimum lease payments.

Government grants of €120 million (previous year: €110 million) were deducted from the cost of property, plant and equipment, and noncash benefits received amounting to €18 million (previous year: €0 million) were not capitalized as the cost of assets.

Real property liens of €657 million (previous year: €628 million) are pledged as collateral for financial liabilities related to land and buildings.
