The goodwill of the cash-generating unit (CGU) CTT/Rosshafen in the amount of € 35,525 thousand, the CGU PLT in the amount of € 8,487, the CGU HHLA TK Estonia in the amount of € 7,587 thousand and the CGU HCCR in the amount of € 1,893 thousand is attributable to the Container segment.

The goodwill newly recorded in the Intermodal segment is due to the acquisition of shares in CL EUROPORT s.r.o., based in Plzen, Czech Republic, and in CL EUROPORT Sp. Z o.o., based in Malaszewicze, Poland, in the amount of € 1,780 thousand; see Note 3.

The goodwill recognised in the Logistics segment in the amount of € 6,458 thousand is due to the acquisition of iSAM AG, Mülheim an der Ruhr, and its three subsidiaries added to HHLA’s group of consolidated companies. The goodwill also attributable to this segment as a result of the acquisition of Bionic Production GmbH, Lüneburg, was tested for impairment in the 2021 reporting year as of 30 June and 31 December due to the deterioration in the global economic environment. As a result, the carrying amount of the goodwill on both reporting dates was adjusted in the amount of € 4,982 thousand.

Additions of internally developed software and payments made on account in the reporting period mainly relate to the migration of a new terminal management and administration system.

The obligations arising from open orders for capital expenditure on intangible assets are reported under Note 46.

Intermodal/Intermodal systems
