Accounting Policy
Acquisitions of subsidiaries are included on the basis of the acquisition method. The cost of acquisition is measured based on the consideration transferred at fair value, the fair value of identifiable assets distributed and the fair value of liabilities incurred or assumed at the acquisition date (i.e. the date which we obtain control). Goodwill is capitalized as the excess of the costs of an acquired subsidiary, net of the amounts assigned to identifiable assets acquired and liabilities incurred or assumed. Acquisition-related costs are expensed when incurred in the period they arise or the service is received.
Business combinations
On October 30, 2020, we concluded the acquisition of Berliner Glas (ASML Berlin GmbH), a provider of optical key components. We obtained control through acquiring 100% of the issued share capital for a total consideration of €257.1 million.
The total consideration was allocated to goodwill of €87.9 million, assets acquired of €312.1 million, and liabilities assumed of €142.9 million. The contingent consideration was paid in cash in 2021. The majority of the goodwill arising on the acquisition of Berliner Glas (ASML Berlin GmbH) is attributable to the fact that the acquisition will help us achieve our strategic objective to secure the ramp-up and roll-out of future lithography systems. All goodwill has been allocated to the ASML reporting unit. None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
Divestitures
During 2021, we sold the non-semiconductor businesses of the acquired Berliner Glas (ASML Berlin GmbH) group.
The proceeds from these disposals totaled €339.4 million, which primarily related to the sale of the Medical Applications and Swiss Optic business on November 30, 2021. The remaining proceeds are from the sale of the Berliner Glas Technical Glas business on April 30, 2021.
A pre-tax gain of €213.7 million was recognized on these transactions which was recorded in the line item Other income (loss) in our Consolidated Statements of Operations in 2021
