The foreign currency exchange rate losses were attributable to exchange rate losses arising in the course of the Group companies’ operating activities and to hedges that were entered into in order to hedge currency risk arising from the operating business and do not form part of a documented hedge (see note [8] for details of the countervailing gains). Impairment of non-current assets related to buildings, plant and machinery, office furniture and equipment, and other property, plant and equipment. Of the total amount recognised as impairment of non-current assets in 2017, €8.6 million had resulted from giving up the Egemin brand after it was integrated within the Dematic brand presentation.
