Goodwill

Intangible assets at year-end 2025, and also at year-end 2024, are largely made up of goodwill relating to the acquisition of Endinet (€61 million), which is allocated to Liander, and goodwill relating to Stam (€7 million), see also note 4.

Software

As of 1 January 2025, €25 million was reclassified from property, plant and equipment to intangible assets in respect of software development. The reclassification was made due to the nature and the increasing amount of software.
