[1] Other provisions primarily relate to decommissioning provisions, property tax assessment provisions and legal reserves.
[2] The reversal of unused amounts primarily reflects a reduction in the provision previously recognised in relation to an ongoing labour law     matter in Germany. Based on the latest assessment, no future cash outflows are expected in connection with this matter.
Restructuring programmes
In November 2022, the Group announced a new efficiency programme to be delivered by the end of 2028. This programme focusses on further supply chain efficiencies, leveraging global procurement and a more integrated shared service centre model, all enabled by next generation technology including digital tools and data and analytics.
During the first half of 2025, as part of this efficiency programme, the Group announced restructuring proposals resulting in €46 million of recognised costs primarily related to expected severance payments.
Guarantees
As of 27 June 2025, the Group has issued guarantees to third parties of €919 million (31 December 2024: €892 million), primarily relating to ongoing litigations and tax matters in certain territories. No significant additional liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements are expected to arise from the guarantees issued.
