General
Provisions for such things as losses on work in progress, warranty obligations, restructuring costs and environmental risks are recognised if Heijmans has an existing obligation and it is probable that an outflow of resources will occur. The amount of each provision can be reliably estimated. The provisions are stated at face value, unless the time value of money is material.

Wintrack II
In October 2023, the court ruled in the Group's favour on appeal and no further provision was required.
Work in progress losses
If a contract with a client for the execution of a project shows a loss, the entire amount of the loss is immediately recognised in the statement of profit or loss and included as a provision for losses on work in progress in the provisions in the statement of financial position. The projects to which these losses relate will be completed within two years.
Provision for warranty obligations
The provisions relate to complaints and deficiencies that become apparent after the delivery of projects and that fall within the warranty period. The magnitude of the costs provided for is dependent partly on the estimated allocation of the claim to the related construction partners. It is expected that most of the obligations will materialise in the next two years.
Provision for restructuring costs
The provision for restructuring costs relates to the expected severance costs related to organisational changes. Most of the provision will be used in 2024.
Provision for environmental risks
This item represents possible site reinstatement costs. The costs have been estimated by site, based on government regulations concerning the clean-up method and soil investigation. The periods within which restoration needs to take place vary by site. In the event that the restoration does not have to take place for another few years, there is an obligation to monitor the pollution. The expected monitoring costs have also been included in the provision.
Provision for loss-making interests
The provision for loss-making interests relates to joint ventures in which the Group’s share is negative and for which the Group has guaranteed all or part of the liabilities of that interest (or has the firm intention to enable the interest to pay (the Group’s share) of its liabilities).
Other provisions
In 2023, pursuant to the Van Wanrooij share purchase agreement, Heijmans did not receive indemnification from the seller for certain risks related to development positions obtained in the period prior to the transaction date. In connection with this exposure, Heijmans has recognised a provision of € 11.2 million for these historical risks in Van Wanrooij's opening balance sheet. The risks have been assessed and valued based on the expected value method in which the issues have a range of possible outcomes. In addition, the item, other provisions consists primarily of a provision for year-two sick pay, which already existed in 2022 and has undergone limited change.
