Internally developed software

Internally developed software comprises the Group’s internally developed EV Cloud platform. As at December 31, 2024, the remaining amortization period was one to three years (December 31, 2023: one to three years, December 31, 2022: one to three years).

Customer relationships

The customer relationships were acquired as part of the acquisition of MOMA business combination (see Note 4 for details). They were recognized at their fair value at the date of acquisition and were subsequently carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Customer relationships were amortized on a straight-line basis over its useful life. At December 31, 2024, the future economic benefits expected to arise from the customer relationships' use was estimated to €nil, due to the loss of MOMA key customers for whom customer relationships were previously recognized as assets. These contract cancellations have led to the full impairment of the carrying value of the customer relationships. As such, this intangible asset was derecognized at December 31, 2024.

Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of this asset (determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) was recorded in the consolidated statement of profit or loss upon derecognition.

Goodwill

Goodwill originated from the acquisition of MOMA as described in Note 4.

Impairment test for goodwill

For annual impairment testing, the Group allocated goodwill to groups of Cash-Generating Units ("CGUs"). The group of CGUs is the lowest level within the Group at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. Goodwill is allocated and monitored by management at the level of the operating segment, which is the Company as a whole.

The Group tests whether goodwill has suffered any impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist. For the goodwill impairment analysis the fair value less costs of disposal has been determined based on the market capitalization of the business using the tender price of Meridiam’s offer at July 30, 2024. This results in an overall fair value of approximately €425,000 thousand. The Group has then compared this amount to the net assets of the entity at the balance sheet date. At December 31, 2024, the Company concluded that this results in significant headroom such that the developments until the balance sheet date (including those as disclosed under Note 2.2 and Note 25) could not result in an impairment for the current fiscal year. As a result, it was concluded that there is no goodwill impairment as of December 31, 2024.
