The goodwill resulting from both the acquisition of CellPoint (€62.4 million) and AboundBio (€7.6 million) at December 31, 2024, was allocated to the same cash-generating unit (CGU), “CAR-T/Cell Therapy”. The intangible assets acquired as a result of both business combinations were also allocated to this cash-generating unit, together with some other (in)tangible assets related to the “CAR-T/Cell Therapy” cash-generating unit. The valuation method of the recoverable amount of this cash-generating unit was based on the fair value less costs of disposal.

As a consequence of the announced wind-down of our cell therapy activities, we fully impaired the associated goodwill. We refer to note 2 for more information about the wind-down of the cell therapy activities and to note 8 for more information about the total impairment loss of the cell therapy activities, included in the consolidated income statement as a separate line item.

CAR-T
Chimeric antigen receptor T cells (also known as CAR-T cells) are T cells that have been genetically engineered to produce an artificial T cell receptor for use in immunotherapy
Cell therapy
Cell therapy aims to treat diseases by restoring or altering certain sets of cells or by using cells to carry a therapy through the body. With cell therapy, cells are cultivated or modified outside the body before being injected into the patient. The cells may originate from the patient (autologous cells) or a donor (allogeneic cells)
