The rise in foreign currency exchange rate gains was largely attributable to exchange rate gains arising in the course of the Group companies’ operating activities. This line item also contains gains on hedges that were entered into in order to hedge currency risk arising from the operating business but do not form part of a documented hedge. These gains were offset by corresponding exchange rate losses (see note [9]). Sundry income also included income from non-consolidated subsidiaries and other equity investments amounting to €2.3 million (2017: €2.1 million).
