11. Other operating income

As in the previous year, income from reimbursements relates primarily to costs which were passed on in connection with leases. In the reporting period, significantly lower reimbursed subsidies were received compared to the previous year.

Other operating income includes income from the outsourcing of personnel of € 5,664 thousand (previous year: € 5,212 thousand), income from staff catering of € 2,173 thousand (previous year: € 2,592 thousand) and a gain arising from the derecognition through profit and loss of a liability from a contingent consideration in the amount of € 2,064 thousand that occurred in connection with the acquisition of shares in Bionic Production GmbH, Lüneburg (previous year: € 4,327 thousand). This liability from the contingent consideration was derecognised, as the conditions are unlikely to occur. The matter comes within the economic context of the development described in Note 22 and the resulting impairment loss. Other operating income also includes income from the derecognition of liabilities recognised in previous periods, which was up on the previous year. Furthermore, other operating income includes numerous smaller individual items.
