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 December 31, 2024. In 2023 we recorded an impairment of €7.6 million on the construction project in Mechelen (Belgium), following a re-assessment of the project. As we signed a share purchase agreement for this project in December 2024, we reclassified the land and other tangible assets of Galapagos Real Estate Belgium BV to assets in disposal group classified as held for sale.
