Adjusting events after the reporting period

Debt restructuring request of an emerging market customer

In February 2021, one of the Group’s emerging market customers commenced negotiations to renegotiate its debt with the aim of avoiding insolvency. Although this event occurred after the reporting period, it confirms that the customer was credit-impaired as of December 31, 2020. As a result, the Group recognized an increase in the allowance for expected credit loss for loans extended to the customer of EUR 58 million in financial expenses. The Group also concluded that the collectability of consideration due from the customer is no longer probable resulting in adjustments in net sales, cost of sales and other operating expenses totaling EUR 34 million.
