Depreciation expenses, impairment losses and reversal of impairment losses on property and equipment are recorded
within general and administrative expenses for the income statement.
The carrying value of items of property and equipment on which there is a restriction on sale was less than € 1 million as
of December 31, 2025 and € 1 million as of December 31, 2024.
Commitments for the acquisition of property and equipment were € 1 million at year-end 2025 and € 24 million at year-
end 2024.
The Group leases many assets including land and buildings, vehicles and IT equipment for which it records right-of-use
assets. During 2025, additions to right-of-use assets amounted to € 102 million and largely reflected new real estate
leases. Depreciation charges of € 511 million recognized in 2025 mainly resulted from planned consumption of right-of-
use assets for property leases over their contractual terms. The carrying amount of right-of-use assets of € 3.7 billion
included in Total Property and equipment as of December 31, 2025 predominantly represented leased properties of
€ 3.7 billion and vehicle leases of € 19 million. For more information on the Group´s leased properties and related
disclosures required under IFRS 16, please refer to Note 22 “Leases”.
