Intangible assets include industrial property rights, similar rights, software and other assets acquired against payment. Acquisitions result in technologies, customer bases and order backlogs acquired against payment, which are amortized over a period of 3 to 9 years.

The acquisition costs of property, plant and equipment were reduced by investment grants totaling €315.8 million (compared with €313.7 million in the previous year).

In the reporting year, borrowing costs of €2.2 million (€1.3 million in the prior year) were capitalized as part of the acquisition costs of qualifying assets. The average financing cost rate was 2.0 percent (2.7 percent a year earlier). Property, plant and equipment also includes technical machinery and other equipment in the amount of €22.4 million (€26.8 million in the prior year) that underlie an embedded finance lease. Due to the structure of the underlying contracts, economic ownership is attributable to WACKER.
