Net income increased by 42.1% or CHF 310 million to CHF 1,046 million, mainly as a result of non-recurring items in EBITDA and the financial result. EBITDA for the second quarter of 2021 includes one-off income from the adjustment of pension liabilities in the amount of CHF 60 million as well as the additions to provisions for litigation in the amount of CHF 22 million. The non-recurring items in the financial result originate from the first quarter of 2021. As part of its strategic partnership with TIM, Fastweb transferred its stake in FlashFiber as a capital contribution to the newly established fibre-optic company FiberCop. This resulted in an upward revaluation of the participation recognised in the income statement of CHF 169 million. In addition, Swisscom realised a gain of CHF 38 million on the sale of its investment in Belgacom International Carrier Services. Income tax expense stood at CHF 201 million (previous year CHF 146 million), which corresponds to an effective income tax rate of 16.1% (previous year 16.6%). Swisscom anticipates a future effective consolidated tax rate of about 19%.
