bad debt
It does indeed refer to bad debt and refers to uncollectable receivables that have or will have to be written off (the second word, "Einzelwertberichtigungen" indicates this). I hope this will help you along. If you read English or American balance sheets, you will find the right term for it.
Good luck!
