The impairment comprises specific bad debt allowances of CHF 233 million (previous year: CHF 215 million) that were recognised for receivables with concrete indications of a default risk (e.g. insolvency). In accordance with the expected credit loss model, it also includes general bad debt allowances of CHF 1 million (CHF 1 million) due to the inherent default risk for receivables. For this, individual probabilities of default are calculated for each counterparty amounting to between 0.0 % and 19.0 % (previous year: between 0.0 % and 20.3 %), depending on the maturity of the trade receivables.
