The permanent differences as of December 31, 2021, related exclusively to the impairment of goodwill.
As of December 31, 2023, the group companies are still in a history of losses. Therefore, the increased requirement for the impairment test according to IAS 12.35 was applied unchanged as in the previous year. In this context, the existence of other substantial indications is required that in the future the availability of corresponding taxable income is no longer only probable, but sufficiently certain. Taking into account these increased recognition requirements, it could not be demonstrated with certainty for the long-term planning period of the Company that corresponding positive tax planning results will be available to ensure the recoverability of the deferred tax assets on temporary differences or tax loss carryforwards. For this reason, deferred tax assets were only capitalized to the extent that they will be offset against the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities in the future and otherwise not recognized or impaired.
Due to the history of losses and the current uncertainties regarding the realization of planned taxable income, corresponding deferred tax assets on loss carry forwards were only recognized as outlined in the following table.

Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the 2023 consolidated net loss of € 189,734,199 (2022: consolidated net loss of € 151,058,190; 2021: consolidated net loss of € 514,460,016) by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the respective year (2023: 34,312,744; 2022: 34,155,650; 2021: 33,401,069).
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by taking into account the potential increase in the Group’s ordinary shares as the result of granted stock options, restricted stock units and convertible bonds.
The following table shows the reconciliation of basic earnings per share to diluted earnings per share (in €, except for disclosures in shares).
