Summary of Non Current Provisions and Other Non-current Liabilities

The line item Non current provisions and other non-current liabilities comprises the following:

(€ million)			2023			2022						2021
Provisions			5,262			5,822						6,430
Other non-current liabilities(a)			2,340			519						291
Total			7,602			6,341						6,721

(a)    Includes derivative financial instruments: €164 million as of December 31, 2023, €232 million as of December 31, 2022, €6 million as of December 31, 2021.
The figure as of December 31, 2023 includes €1,960 million for the liability in respect of royalties payable to Sobi on net sales of BEYFORTUS (nirsevimab) in the United States (see Note C.2.). Given the method used to calculate royalties payable, an increase or decrease in sales forecasts would lead to a proportionate change in the amount of the liability. The nominal value of payments estimated to be due within more than one year but less than five years is €1,112 million; the nominal value of payments estimated to be due after more than five years is €2,860 million.
