In March 2026, KION placed a bond of €500 million under its existing EMTN program in order to further optimize the financing structure of the short-term rental business and lease business. The bond matures on March 24, 2031 and has a coupon of 4.125 percent per annum. To manage the interest-rate risk at portfolio level, KION has entered into interest-rate swaps and thereby converted the fixed-rate bond into a variable-rate exposure. The hedging transaction is accounted for as a fair value hedge in accordance with IFRS 9.

Level 3 comprised the financial investment in Wuxi Quicktron Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., which is recognized under other financial assets. The fair value was determined using the discounted cash flow method. The changes in value compared with the end of 2025 were attributable to the subsequent measurement of this financial investment. The material measurement parameters were a WACC after taxes of 8.8 percent and a long-term growth rate of 1.3 percent. A sensitivity analysis of the financial investment’s fair value as at the reporting date did not lead to a material change in value.
