As the transaction took place well after the reporting date, and because of the complexity of the business model and the scope of the detailed information required for the measurement, it was not possible to complete the analysis of the acquired assets and liabilities by the time the consolidated financial statements were published. The purchase price allocation for the acquisition described above is provisional as at March 1, 2021 with regard to the recognition and measurement of the net assets acquired at fair value.
If the business combination had been completed by January 1, 2020, this would have increased the revenue of around €53 million reported by the KION Group in 2020.
