This item presents separately acquired intangible assets. The additions to industrial property rights relate to operating activities.

In the fiscal year, intangible assets amounting to €8.1 million were identified within the purchase price allocation as part of the extension of the scope of consolidation through the acquisition of the shares in the APP companies; these consist primarily of customer lists.

The addition to goodwill in the previous period relates to a subsequent purchase price obligation arising from the acquisition of Wacker Biotech GmbH.

In the previous year, amortized goodwill resulting from the acquisition of subsidiaries that could no longer be allocated was reported under disposals. The goodwill in question came into being at least 7 years ago.
