Goodwill has been tested for impairment at 31 December 2005. The recoverable amounts significantly
e ceed the carrying amount of the operations including goodwill. We have impaired goodwill,
e cept for three operations where an impairment loss of €14 million was charged to the results.
T ie recoverable amounts of the cash-generating units are based on value-in-use calculations.
Tiose calculations use cash-flow projections based on actual operating results and our three-year
business plan extrapolated for the first five-year period. Cash flows for periods after 2010 are
e trapolated using inflation plus a low growth rate. The growth rate is consistent with our long-term
e pected growth rate for the industry per region.
A per cash-generating unit-specific Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) has been used
discounting the projected cash flows.
