Reconciling reported CapEx with the accompanying notes

I have tried to use the search function, but had no luck.

I figured it would make my model more dynamic if I could break out the total CapEx to its respective balance sheet item, but for some reason I cannot seem to reconcile the reported CapEx on the cash flow statement with the accompanying notes.

For reference, I am practicing on a random Dutch company called Aalberts, using the 2022 annual report (cant link to it due to lack of WSO points, but it can be easily found on Google). Looking at "Purchase of intangible assets" in the cash flow statement (page 75), it shows a €13.3m investment in FY22A. But when looking at note 5 (page 86), I arrive at CapEx (incl. FX changes) of €260.3m and D&A (incl. disposals) of €54.4m.

Is there a helpful soul out there who can explain to me what I am doing wrong?

Thank you so much in advance, your help is much appreciated.

Equity Research Mock Coffee Chat

“Michael gave me very practical, specific advice for breaking into equity research as a freshman. I came in with mixed results from past alumni and industry chats, and he showed me how to make them more useful. He advised tailoring the length and questions of each chat to the contact: start with a brief intro, then pivot to targeted questions tied to their role. For shorter calls, he suggested pinpoint questions that draw out actionable advice. When a contact works in a different area, he told me to phrase my interest broadly and then ask for insight into their team or function, so my goals line up with their work. He also changed how I prepare. He told me to read the analyst’s published reports or their firm’s research before the call and to bring one or two stock or sector ideas and ask for their take, which shows I’ve done my homework. He suggested using school resources like terminals and the finance club to gather sources and data. On building my resume, he recommended continuing to publish on a Substack or website, pursuing WSO or part-time research projects, and applying to the WSO equity research internship or similar programs, then adding the published pieces to my resume and portfolio. He also told me to join my school finance club and get Bloomberg access. Finally, he coached me to ask for introductions during the call when it comes up, to repeat the request in the thank-you email, and to explicitly ask who they’d recommend and offer to follow up. I left with clear action items I can start on right away.”

“Chris was very easy to talk to and made the session feel relaxed and genuinely useful. He gave me clear, actionable tasks that I can go away and work on straight away to expand my network. I hope to reconvene with him at a later date to discuss the progress I have made and get his feedback on the work I have been doing.”
