Additions include a year-on-year decrease in advance payments of EUR 106,538 thousand.

Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, including capitalized borrowing costs, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation 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 property, plant and equipment
Years

Land use rights

30 to 50

Buildings

10 to 50

Fiber production lines

5 to 15

Energy production plants

4 to 25

Other machinery

4 to 20

Vehicles

4 to 20

Office equipment and other fixtures and fittings

2 to 10

IT hardware

2 to 7

All items of property, plant and equipment are tested for impairment in accordance with IAS 36 if there are any indications that these assets may be impaired (see note 11).

Operating leases as a lessor

Operating leases are in place for land and buildings with acquisition cost of EUR 38,350 thousand as at December 31, 2022 (December 31, 2021 EUR 38,224 thousand). The carrying amount of this land and buildings is EUR 7,819 thousand as at December 31, 2022 (December 31, 2021 EUR 8,282 thousand). Depreciation of EUR 694 thousand was recognized on these assets in the 2022 financial year (2021: EUR 692 thousand). For further details on rental income from operating leases see note 21.

Capitalization of borrowing costs

Borrowing costs of EUR 33,316 thousand for property, plant and equipment were capitalized in 2022 (2021: EUR 21,166 thousand). The weighted average interest rate equaled 3.14 percent (2021: 2.23 percent).

The Lenzing Group defines qualifying assets as construction projects or other assets that require at least twelve months to be ready for their intended use or sale. The capitalization entries are recorded under “financing costs” and the respective asset account. All other borrowing costs are expenses in the period incurred and reported under financial result.
