Table explanation


This table contains figures on turnover, employees, personnel costs, investments and the number of foreign subsidiaries over which a Dutch institutional unit has control (Outward-FATS). The data can be broken down by industry according to the Standard Industrial Classification 2008 (SIC 2008) and the country where the foreign subsidiary is located.

The nationality of a company is determined by assessing globally which institutional unit has control over the company group. For the data in this table, the Ultimate Controlling Institutional unit (UCI) of the group of companies is located in the Netherlands.

The data is collected in the context of the 'Foreign Affiliates Statistics' (FATS) statistics of the statistical office of the European Union (Eurostat).

Data available from: 2021.

Status of the figures:
The figures of 2021 and 2022 are final.

Changes as of September 30, 2025:
The 2023 figures have been added and are now final.

Changes as of April 29, 2024:
Incorrect UCI determinations have been corrected in the 2021 figures, as well as corrections that could be made through analysis of several years.
Also the provisional figures of 2022 have been added.

When will new figures be available?
- In November (23 months after the reporting year) additional information will become available on the basis of which the data will be given a definitive status.

Description topics

Foreign subsidiary
A foreign subsidiary is defined as a foreign company over which predominant control can be exercised.
Employees
Employed persons include all persons who perform paid work, even if only for one or a few hours per week, even if they:
- performing work that is legal in itself, but the remuneration of which is withheld from registration by the tax or social security authorities ('undeclared work');
- do not work temporarily, but continue to be paid (for example in the event of illness or frost damage);
- have taken temporary unpaid leave.
The number of employees is shown in this table in thousands of FTE.


Full-time equivalent (FTE):
Full-time equivalent is defined as the absolute number of employed persons, converted into full working years. For example, if in a company five people work full-time on all working days and two people work half-days, this is counted as six FTE.
Revenue
Net turnover consists of all income during the financial year in the context of normal business operations through the sale of goods, provision of services and/or rental income from assets (Insurance turnover consists of 'Gross premiums written' and pension fund turnover consists of from all pension contributions). The net turnover excludes: all taxes, duties and levies directly related to the income and all income that does not arise from normal business operations.
The turnover is presented in this table in millions of Euro.



Personnel costs
Personnel costs include all expenses related to employee benefits during the financial year. Employee benefits are all forms of compensation in exchange for the services provided by employees or for the termination of employment.
Investments
Gross investments in tangible fixed assets include all additions to tangible fixed assets that have been reported as such during the financial year. Excluded are increases in revaluations, reversals of previously recognized impairment losses and reclassifications (transfers) of other tangible fixed assets. The tangible fixed assets are acquired through (hire) purchase, financial or operational lease. When manufactured in-house, this concerns the full production costs. For major maintenance, this concerns the full maintenance costs.
