The investments recognised under ‘Other intangible assets’ comprise customer contracts at NOVEC B.V.
(EUR 8.1 million), arrangements with participants at Endex N.V., APX B.V. (EUR 10.9 million) and Endex European Energy Derivatives Exchange N.V., and the membership portfolio of APX B.V. (EUR 1.4 million).
The recoverable amounts of the cash-generating units have been determined using discounted cash flow calculations of the value in use. The calculations are based on long-term (five-year) cash flow projections based on financial forecasts approved by the management. Cash flows for the period more than five years ahead have been extrapolated on the assumption that there will be no further growth. The figures have been discounted to net present value, using discounting rates (ranging from 7.3% to 10%) that reflect the risks associated with the activities.
