Level 3 essentially comprised the financial investments in Shanghai Quicktron Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. and Zhejiang EP Equipment Co., Ltd., which are recognized under other financial assets. The fair value in each case was determined using a discounted cash flow method. The changes in fair value compared with the end of 2023 are attributable to the subsequent measurement of these financial investments. The material measurement parameters included, in each case, a WACC after taxes of 9.2 percent and a long-term growth rate of 1.0 percent. The following table shows the effects of changes in these material measurement parameters on fair value.
