Net assets

Non-current assets had increased to €4,905.9 million as at 30 June 2016 (31 December 2015: €4,810.3 million). Intangible assets accounted for €2,484.6 million (31 December 2015: €2,452.5 million). Goodwill and the KION Group’s brand names represented €2,181.7 million of that amount (31 December 2015: €2,152.2 million). This small increase compared with 31 December 2015 was mainly attributable to the acquisition of Retrotech Inc.

Rental assets in the brand segments’ short-term rental fleet rose to €570.5 million (31 December 2015: €544.0 million). Leased assets for leases with end customers that are classified as operating leases increased to €377.6 million (31 December 2015: €334.4 million). Long-term lease receivables arising from leases with end customers that are classified as finance leases advanced to €487.3 million (31 December 2015: €472.0 million).

Current assets rose to €1,823.2 million (31 December 2015: €1,629.9 million) owing to higher inventories and receivables. At €187.8 million, short-term lease receivables from end customers were slightly higher than at the end of last year (31 December 2015: €181.7 million).

Cash and cash equivalents totalled €84.3 million at the end of the half-year period (31 December 2015: €103.1 million). Taking into account the unused credit facility, the cash and cash equivalents available to the KION Group at 30 June 2016 amounted to €858.0 million. > TABLE 15
