The insurance value of property, plant, and equipment amounted to CHF 4ʼ250 million (previous year: CHF 4ʼ001 million).

The lines “Changes in scope of consolidation” show exclusively the acquisitions at GF Piping Systems.

Investments in property, plant, and equipment in 2016 came to CHF 179 million (previous year: CHF 167 million). They were made primarily by the GF Automotive division with CHF 88 million (previous year: CHF 80 million) and the GF Piping Systems division with CHF 49 million (previous year: CHF 46 million). Investments in property, plant, and equipment with an effect on liquidity in the 2017–2020 period amount to CHF 98 million. This amount mainly relates to investments for the GF Piping Systems division in the amount of CHF 12 million and the GF Automotive division in the amount of CHF 82 million.

The values in the row “Other changes, reclassifications” are largely due to two movements. First, an investment property of GF Automotive was reclassified as “Property, plant, and equipment for own use”. Second, some of GF Machining Solutions demo machines earmarked for sale were reclassified from “Non-current assets” to “Inventories” (CHF 2 million net).

The fair value of investment properties, as determined by internal experts on the basis of capitalized and current market values, is CHF 61 million (previous year: CHF 62 million).

In the period under review, CHF 1 million of interest on assets under construction was capitalized.
