Insurance compensation in the amount of €10.2 million concerns insurance claims from the loss event at the Charleston production site. The purpose of this compensation is to restore the property, plant and equipment that was destroyed or damaged.
Receivables are shown at amortized cost, which corresponds to their market value. Adequate valuation allowances are set up to cover default risks, to the extent that these are not covered by insurance, bank guarantees or advance payments received.
Valuation allowances and past-due debts developed as follows:

No valuation allowances were recognized for other financial assets in either the period under review or the prior year. There was no significant credit risk as of December 31, 2017.
Valuation allowances are set up for identifiable credit risks and exchange-rate fluctuations. We continuously monitor the creditworthiness of our debtors to assess the intrinsic value of the corresponding receivables; where appropriate, we take out credit default insurance. In addition, customers make advance payments and provide bank guarantees. The maximum default risk is equal to the carrying amount of the uninsured receivables. No loans or receivables were renegotiated to prevent an overdue debt or possible valuation allowance. Based on past experience and on the conditions prevailing as of the reporting date, there are no restrictions with regard to credit quality. The additions and reversals in the valuation allowances for receivables in the reporting period mainly relate to Wacker Chemie AG.
