7. Other Operating Expenses

Restructuring expenses relate in particular to measures in the supply chain organization and other ongoing reorganizations of the consumer business. The amortization and impairment of intangible assets from acquisitions show amortization of the goodwill of the cash-generating unit Chantecaille in the amount of €160 million and an impairment of €5 million (previous year: €8 million) on the remaining intangible assets allocated to the cash-generating unit tesa Twinlock B.V. from the purchase price allocation; the associated goodwill was already fully amortized in fiscal year 2022. There was also an amortization of goodwill in the amount of €4 million for the tesa unit nie wieder bohren GmbH.

In addition, expenses of €10 million are included as a result of a technical incident on January 24, 2023 at the tesa plant Concagno. This is offset by other operating income totaling €24 million (see Note 06).

Miscellaneous other expenses included expenditure of €8 million (previous year: €5 million) in connection with the “Care Beyond Skin” donation program and expenditure of €7 million (previous year: €6 million) relating to the integration of the newly acquired Chantecaille business. The prior year includes miscellaneous other expenses from the sale of tesa Labtec GmbH of €6 million.
