For assets leased under operating leases, payments recognized in the income statement amounted to €1,330 million (previous year: €1,273 million). With respect to internally used assets, €1,171 million (previous year: €1,136 million) of this figure is attributable to minimum lease payments and €50 million (previous year: €51 million) to contingent lease payments. The payments of €109 million (previous year: €86 million) under subleases primarily relate to minimum lease payments.

Government grants of €110 million (previous year: €295 million) were deducted from the cost of property, plant and equipment, and noncash benefits received amounting to €0 million (previous year: €8 million) were not capitalized as the cost of assets.

Real property liens of €628 million (previous year: €661 million) are pledged as collateral for financial liabilities related to land and buildings.
