The capitalisation process recognises all additions to PP&E as "Additions" to Assets Under Depreciation (Network, Customer Premises Equipment, and Land Buildings, and other), which are then reclassified simultaneously into Assets Under Construction within "Reclassifications", as long as construction or implementation of the underlying projects is ongoing. When projects are completed, the related assets are transferred from Assets Under Construction to Assets Under Depreciation as part of the reclassification process. This also results in recurring transfers of software assets from Assets Under Construction within PP&E to Intangible Assets. As a result of this process, the table above reflects negative reclassifications within the asset categories under depreciation. Following the spin-off, Sunrise has redefined its PP&E asset categories to reflect the nature and internal management of assets rather than the legacy structure of its former parent. Comparative information has been reclassified accordingly. These changes enhance transparency and relevance of the information presented. Consequently, the 2024 and 2023 net carrying amounts shown in the tables above include the following reclassifications between the newly defined (stated in the columns) and previously reported (stated in the rows) asset categories: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | CHF in millions | | Network | | Customer Premises Equipment | | Leasehold Improvement and Support Capital | | Land and Buildings | | Assets Under Construction | | Total | Balance at 31 December 2023 | | | | | | | | | | | | | Distribution systems | | 681.7 | | — | | — | | — | | — | | 681.7 | Customer premises equipment | | 39.5 | | 168.8 | | — | | — | | — | | 208.3 | Support equipment and buildings | | 963.4 | | — | | 84.2 | | 10.6 | | — | | 1,058.2 | Assets under construction | | — | | — | | — | | — | | 347.5 | | 347.5 | Total | | 1,684.6 | | 168.8 | | 84.2 | | 10.6 | | 347.5 | | 2,295.7 |
