As of December 31, 2021, certain claims were pending or threatened against us or our subsidiaries, mainly related to purported obligations arising out of use or alleged use of third party intellectual property. Our best estimate of potential outflow of economic resources from such proceedings amounts to €177.9 million, which is expected not to be settled within the next twelve months and is therefore included in non-current provisions in our consolidated statements of financial position as of December 31, 2021,and was recognized in cost of sales in our consolidated statements of profit or loss (nil as of December 31, 2020). This assessment is based on assumptions deemed reasonable by management including those about future events and uncertainties. The outcome of these matters is ultimately uncertain, such that unanticipated events and circumstances might occur that might cause us to change those assumptions and give rise to a material adverse effect on our financial position in the future.
