Reconciliation of the carrying amount of non-integral investments accounted for using the equity method (Million €) The increase in capital cost rates of one percentage point would not lead to an impairment of the shareholding as a whole but would, however, result in an impairment of around €250 million for value components in individual countries that were recognized in connection with BASF’s purchase price allocation. A decrease of 10% in price assumptions for the entire planning period would result in the need for an impairment of about €320 million of the shareholding as a whole. The cost of capital rates in euros, calculated using the capital asset pricing model, were between 3.4% and 14.4%. The expected cash flows were discounted using country-specific cost of capital rates, which reflect the relevant country risks and tax rates. The development of gas prices assumed a price of $3.8 per mmBtu (TTF) for 2021 that rises to a nominal $7.7 per mmBtu in 2025 and then follows the expected cost trend. This assumed an oil price of $43 per bbl of Brent crude in 2021 that expected rises to a nominal $62 per bbl by 2023 and then develops in line with cost increases. As part of the impairment tests, the expected cash flows in euros from the exploration and production assets held by Wintershall Dea were updated and discounted. This was primarily due to impairments of assets of Wintershall Dea Group amounting to €791 million as a result of lower oil and gas price forecasts and changed reserve estimates.
