Investments “Investments” includes the fair value of investments in companies where Telefónica exercises no significant influence or control and for which there is no specific short-term disposal plan (see Note 3.i). The Telefónica Group’s shareholding in Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. (BBVA) amounted to 417 million euros (363 million euros at December 31, 2023), representing 0.77% of its share capital at December 31, 2024 (0.76% at December 31, 2023). At December 31, 2023, Telefónica maintained a 0.59% stake in the share capital of China Unicom (Hong Kong) Limited, valued at 103 million euros at that date. Telefónica sold in its entire stake in China Unicom (Hong Kong) Limited during 2024, for an aggregate amount of 147 million euros (see Note 28). As a result of the transaction, 110 million euros of losses from financial assets measured at fair value through comprehensive income were reclassified under retained earnings. On June 21, 2023 the Company sold its total remaining shares of Promotora de Informaciones, S.A. (PRISA). Other long-term credits This line item includes long-term financial assets of Telefónica Germany amounting to 120 million euros and 114 million euros at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, most of them related to reimbursement rights to cover pension obligations of the company but do not represent "plan assets" in accordance with IAS 19 (see Note 24). Additionally, at December 31, 2024 this line includes 112 million euros of loans granted by Colombia Telecomunicaciones, S.A. ESP BIC to the associate company Álamo Holdco, S.L. (112 million euros as of December 31, 2023, see Note 10). Additions in 2023 included 44,187 million Chilean pesos (46 million euros) corresponding to the indefinite-term loan granted by Telefónica Chile, S.A. to the associate HoldCo Infraco, SpA for the acquisition of the fiber optic assets owned by Entel (43 million euros at December 31, 2024, see Note 10). Additionally, at December 31, 2024 this line includes 75 million euros corresponding to the subordinated debt granted by Telefónica Chile to the associate company HoldCo Infraco, SpA. generated by the sale of 40% of the fiber optic business (75 million euros as of December 31, 2023, see Note 10). Additionally at December 31, 2024 includes the collection right with a maturity of more than twelve months arising from Telxius with American Tower Corporation in June 2021 as a result of the sale of the telecommunications towers division in Europe (Spain and Germany) amounting to 90 million euros (269 million euros in the long term at December 31, 2023). "Short-term credits" includes the collection right with a maturity of less than twelve months (see Note 15). Disposals for the year 2023 included the collection of financial instruments (Federal Treasury Certificates) of Pegaso PCS, S.A. de C.V. amounting to 287 million euros, acquired for the purpose of securing certain legal proceedings with the Mexican tax Administration Service. Derived from the judicial resolution that exempts Pegaso PCS, S.A. de C.V. from securing the amount in dispute, the aforementioned financial instruments were cancelled (see Note 28). The vast majority of long-term credits, recognized at amortized cost (Note 16), are considered to be low credit risk assets, therefore the impairment analysis was carried out on the basis of expected credit losses in the next twelve months. Deposits and guarantees Telefónica Brazil has non-current judicial deposits amounting to 443 million euros (see Note 24) at December 31, 2024 (531 million euros at December 31, 2023). At December 31, 2024, there are deposits related to the collateral guarantees on derivatives (CSA) signed by Telefónica, S.A. and its counterparties for the credit risk management of derivatives amounting to 108 million euros, of which an amount of 55 million euros corresponds to cross currency swap (273 million euros at December 31, 2023, not having cross currency swap). In relation with collateral contracts, there is an additional guarantee of 59,808 bonds issued by Telefónica Emisiones, S.A.U. deposited in a securities account owned by Telefónica, S.A. with a notional of 58 million euros at December 31, 2024 (51,988 bonds for a nominal amount of 47 million euros at December 31, 2023). The vast majority of deposits and guarantees recognized at amortized cost (Note 16), are considered to be low credit risk assets, therefore the impairment analysis was carried out on the basis of expected credit losses in the next 12 months. Trade receivables At December 31, 2024 this line includes trade receivables from Colombia Telecomunicaciones, S.A. ESP BIC to the associate Onnet Fibra Colombia SAS, amounting to 14 million euros and 29 million euros at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively (see Note 10). At December 31, 2024 this line includes Telefónica Germany trade receivables at fair value through other comprehensive income for an amount of 200 million euros (280 million euros as of December 31, 2023, see Note 16).
