Other operating expenses mainly relate to allocations and/or releases of non-employee-related provisions, government levies and fees, supervisory and trade association costs, and costs for compensation and service guarantees.
Other operating expenses increased by €12 million in 2025 compared to 2024. In 2025, the balance of provisions and reversals of provisions increased by €6 million, mainly due to an increase in the provision for the costs of removing gas connections. The increase in other operating expenses was mainly due to the growth of the organisation and indexation.
