Net financial income and expense showed a EUR 137 million expense in 2017, which was EUR 305 million lower than in 2016. Net interest expense in 2017 was EUR 117 million lower than in 2016, mainly due to lower interest expenses on net debt following the bond redemptions in October 2016 and January 2017. Higher dividend income was mainly related to the retained interest in the combined businesses of Lumileds and Automotive. Net interest expense in 2016 was EUR 2 million lower than in 2015. The impairment charges in 2016 amounted to EUR 24 million mainly due to Corindus Vascular Robotics. Lower provision-related accretion and interest in 2016 is primarily due to the release of accrued interest as a result of the settlement of the Masimo litigation. Other financial expenses included financial charges related to the early redemption of USD bonds in October 2016 and January 2017 of EUR 91 million and EUR 62 million respectively. Net financial income and expense showed a EUR 359 million expense in 2015. Total financial income of EUR 94 million included EUR 44 million of interest income.
