The Volkswagen Group capitalizes costs to obtain a contract and amortizes them on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract only if they are material, the underlying contract has a term of at least one year, and these costs would not have been incurred, if the corresponding contract had not been entered into. As of December 31, 2025, costs of €127 million to obtain contracts were recognized as assets (previous year: €14 million). In fiscal year 2025, amortization charges of €16 million on capitalized costs to obtain contracts were incurred (previous year: €4 million).
