s.u.
"The ratio of purchased services contained in the cost of materials to sales of services rose by 7.4% compared with 2005 to 23.7%."
(and if it's clear that this is a 2006 v. 2005 comparison, you can also say "...rose by 7.4% year-on-year to 23.7%").
The reference here is to the "cost of purchased services" sub-item contained in the main "cost of materials" heading in the standard HGB total cost (nature of expense) income statement format - HGB s. 275(2).
