Of the additions in the 2023 financial year, EUR 372 thousand (2022: EUR 3,506 thousand) relate to purchased intangible assets, EUR 719 thousand (2022: EUR 0 thousand) relate to goodwill (see note 3), and EUR 8,341 thousand (2022: EUR 7,351 thousand) relate to internally generated intangible assets (mainly process and product developments). Development costs are recognized as intangible assets if the specific requirements pursuant to IAS 38 are met, in particular, as to whether future economic benefits can be generated.

The revaluation option was not exercised. Amortization is calculated according to the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives of the major asset classes are as follows:

Useful lives for intangible assets
Years

Software/computer programs

4 to 7

Licenses and other intangible assets

 

Purchased

4 to 25

Internally generated

7 to 15

All items of intangible assets are tested for impairment in accordance with IAS 36 if there are any indications that these assets may be impaired (see note 10).

The amortization of concessions, industrial property rights, licenses, similar rights and internally generated intangible assets is presented in the cost of sales, selling expenses, administrative expenses as well as research and development expenses.
