a BASF’s ethylene value chain was reorganized as of January 1, 2022. In this connection, the polyolefins and styrenics businesses of the joint venture BASF-YPC Company Ltd., Nanjing, China, which were previously reported under Other, were allocated to the Petrochemicals division. The prior-year figures have been adjusted. This reduced income from integral companies accounted for using the equity method, EBITDA before special items, EBITDA, EBIT and EBIT before special items in Other by €28 million in the first quarter of 2021 and increased these indicators in the Petrochemicals division accordingly (rounding differences are possible). The effect was € 28 million in both the second and third quarters of 2021 and €34 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The effect in full-year 2021 was €118 million. The operating assets were also reallocated as part of the reorganization and increased the Chemicals segment’s assets by €114 million as of December 31, 2021.
