Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(in millions of €, except where otherwise stated and per share amounts)
180
In fiscal 2005, goodwill increased by €2,454. The increase of €152 in foreign currency trans-
lation and other adjustments results primarily from the strengthening of the U.S.$ against the
Euro. The VA Tech acquisition resulted in additions to goodwill of €1,027. Med’s acquisition of
CTI, and A&D’s acquisition of Flender increased goodwill by €525 and €452, respectively.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment of
€262. Based on the results of the Companys analysis of projects at SBS’s reporting unit Opera-
tion-Related Services (ORS) in connection with changing markets and competition in out-
sourcing business and structural challenges to attaining originally targeted profitability, the
Company revised its related business plan and concluded that goodwill of ORS was impaired.
Significant cost pressure due to excess capacity, the necessity for restructuring efforts and the
need for new investments in order to achieve a competitive market position caused the Com-
pany to reassess its estimated future cash flows from its ORS business to a level materially
below earlier estimates. The fair value of the reporting unit was estimated using the present
value of expected future cash flows.
