Goodwill arising on acquisition

3.1

Goodwill arose in the acquisition of Granotec Mexico as the consideration paid effectively included amounts in relation to the benefit of expected synergies, revenue growth and future market development. These benefits are not recognized separately from goodwill because they do not meet the recognition criteria for identifiable intangible assets. The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. No adjustments were recognized during 2022 for the business combination.

The table below shows the pro-forma result of Corbion if the acquisition had been made as at 1 January 2021.
