Foreign exchange gains mainly comprise gains from changes in exchange rates between the dates of recognition and payment of receivables and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, as well as exchange rate gains resulting from measurement at the closing rate. Foreign exchange losses from these items are included in other operating expenses.

Income from other hedges includes primarily foreign exchange gains from the fair value measurement of financial instruments used to hedge exchange rates and commodity prices and that are not designated in a hedging relationship. Foreign exchange losses are included in other operating expenses.
