Beginning in fiscal year 2021, all sales of used vehicles that were presented in the vehicles, leasing business and other sales revenue line items in the previous year were allocated to the used vehicles and third-party products line item. Previously, for example, the transfer of a leased vehicle from the lessee had been reported in the leasing business line item. Prior-year figures were adjusted accordingly.

For segment reporting purposes, the sales revenue of the Group is presented by segment and market.

Other sales revenue comprises revenue from workshop services and license revenue, among other things.

Of the sales revenue recognized in the period under review, an amount of €6,877 million (previous year: €6,815 million) was included in contract liabilities as of January 1, 2021.

€575 million (previous year: €345 million) of the sales revenue recognized in the period under review is attributable to performance obligations satisfied in a prior period.

In addition to existing performance obligations of €3,260 million (previous year: €3,676 million) in the Power Engineering segment, most of which are expected to be satisfied or for which sales revenue is expected to be recognized by December 31, 2022, the vast majority of the Volkswagen Group’s performance obligations that were unsatisfied as of the reporting date relate to vehicle deliveries. Most of these deliveries had already been made at the time this report was prepared, or will be made in the first quarter of 2022. The calculation of the amounts for the Power Engineering Business Area took account of both contracts with a term of up to one year and service contracts under which the Volkswagen Group realizes sales revenue in exactly the same amount as the customer benefits from the services rendered by the Company. In the case of variable consideration, sales revenue is only recognized to the extent that there is reasonable assurance that this sales revenue will not subsequently have to be reversed or adjusted downward.
