●
   Insurance service expenses are mainly driven by three items: assumption changes on onerous contracts included in Other income / (charges) amounting to a loss of EUR 217 million (2024: loss of EUR 472 million), experience adjustments that relate to current service included in Other income / (charges) amounting to a loss of EUR 122 million (2024: EUR 5 million), changes in value of VFA products that result in (a reversal of) onerous contracts included in Fair value items, amounting to a loss of EUR 27 million (2024: gain of 57 million).
●
   Net fair value change of financial investments at fair value through profit or loss, other than derivatives reflects the over- or underperformance of investments and guarantees held at fair value for which the expected long-term return is included in the operating result.
●
   Insurance finance income / (expenses) mainly relate to changes in discount rates, amounting to a loss of EUR 802 million (2024: loss of EUR 440 million), which is included in Fair value items.
●
   Commissions and expenses, which are included in Other income / (charges), relate to items that cannot be directly allocated to a specific line of business and restructuring charges.
