The sales and disposals of 2023 mainly relate to the transaction with NovAlix. We refer to note 28 “Details of the NovAlix transaction” for more information.

The other tangible assets primarily consist of assets under construction, which are not yet available for use and therefore not yet depreciated as per 31 December 2022. In 2023 we recorded an impairment of €7.6 million on the construction project in Mechelen (Belgium), following a re-assessment of the project.

During 2022, the construction of our new building in Oegstgeest (the Netherlands) was completed which explains the reclassification from “other tangible assets” to “land, building and building improvements” for €64.3 million.
