Gross profit, gross margin and Adjusted EBITDA are neither required by, nor presented in accordance with, IFRS. Non-IFRS measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results under IFRS.

Gross profit is calculated on the basis of total performance which is sum of revenue and own work capitalized.

Rounding differences may arise when individual amounts or percentages are added together.

Interim group management report

Overview

H1 2021 has been a dynamic time for Nagarro. Demand was very strong through this period, but our supply was significantly constrained by hiring challenges. The global job market for top talent had suddenly become intensely competitive around the end of 2020, and it stayed that way through June. The company responded with a number of new initiatives to recruit more Nagarrians, adding a net 1,084 professionals in Q1 2021 and 1,153 professionals in Q2 2021 - numbers that include both trainees and lateral hires. This hiring allowed the company to keep growing. It achieved QoQ revenue growth of 6.2% in Q1 2021 and QoQ revenue growth of 10.0% in Q2 2021 despite the Covid-19 second wave in India. H1 2021 YoY revenue growth over H1 2020 was 12.5 %, and the corresponding constant currency YoY revenue growth was 16.3%. Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue was 16.0% in Q1 2021 and 14.9% in Q2 2021, with a resulting H1 2021 number of 15.4%

The business environment and Nagarro's response

The half-year was characterized by intense competition for top software talent in Nagarro's key service regions, and a subsequent inflation in wages. We believe there were many separate reasons for the spurt in the demand for top talent. First, and most obviously, there was an increasing requirement for new and upgraded digital products and services after Covid-19, in particular as the economy bounced back. Two, the intermittent lockdowns had exposed many companies to working with remote teams, which made them more comfortable with the idea that their new digital products and services could be built in other countries. Three, even within a country, employers were no longer as constrained by location. The traditional definitions of each employer's catchment areas are melting away. Four, the reduced socialization among employees in each company, coupled with the boredom of working from home, led to a new type of wanderlust, i.e., jobhopping. Five, the hiring dynamics changed in favour of the candidate. As the efficiency of interviewing increased, from the candidate's viewpoint, candidates began interviewing with many more companies simultaneously and playing them off against each other.

Nagarro responded by aggressively upgrading its hiring operations. Nagarro's brand refresh and stock exchange listing in 2020 helped us to upgrade our visibility and cachet in the job market. We also started an initiative to improve the experience of candidates in the hiring pipeline, as well as the overall "Nagarrian experience". We made salary adjustments to the extent necessary and went back to our clients to request price increases. While clients were mostly supportive, the effect of price increases will likely lag the wage increases by several months.We sadly lost several colleagues to the Covid-19 second wave in India, and many more Nagarrian lives were grievously disrupted. We imported oxygen concentrators urgently for suffering colleagues and their family members, and helped colleagues access hospital beds and medicines. We also helped the Gurugram city administration as best we could. Again, our clients were very supportive, and we were somehow able to keep all our projects on the rails despite the tragedy unfolding around us. Revenues and hence profitability were definitely impacted. Subsequently, Nagarro has helped organize free vaccinations for Nagarrians and for underprivileged folks in nearby communities as a partial shield against another deadly wave.

Financial performance

In the context of the fast-changing and often challenging environment in Q1 and Q2, we can say we did reasonably well. While the YoY numbers are still sedate (due to the loss of significant business in 2020 as well as currency movements), we are overall quite satisfied by these two quarters of rapid QoQ growth.

Our primary financial KPIs are revenues, gross margin and Adjusted EBITDA. Gross margin is the ratio of gross profit to revenue, where gross profit is calculated after reducing from the total performance all direct costs needed to service the revenue. The direct cost comprises personnel costs related to Nagarro's engineering function, as well as associated travel and other costs. We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) adjusted to exclude effects that we consider extraordinary, such as purchase price adjustments, badwill, foreign exchange effects on purchase price, sale of equity investments, stock option plan costs, and, in H1, the expenses related to the rollover of minorities and acquisition cost. A more detailed definition can be found in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Nagarro's revenues grew to €243.0 million in H1 2021 from €216.0 million in H1 2020, a growth of 12.5 %. In constant currency, H1 2021 YoY revenue growth was 16.3%. Gross profit grew to € 72.1 million from € 70.9 million. Gross margin dropped, changing from 32.8% in H1 2020 to 29.7% in 2021. Adjusted EBITDA grew 5.1 % from € 35.7 million (16.5% of revenue) to €37.5 million (15.4% of revenue). It may be noted that H1 2020 also included the effect of salary cuts in response to the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic. In addition, wage inflation, Covid-related disruption and the hiring of a large number of trainees weighed heavily on the gross margin and on the Adjusted EBITDA in H1 2021 despite some persisting relief from reduced travel and reduced utility bills. Our most significant adjustments to EBITDA in H1 2021 are expenses related to the rollover of noncontrolling interests (€ 1.8 million) and the expense on stock options offered in Jan 2021 (€ 2.9 million).

EBITDA decreased by 8.4 % from € 35.7 million in H1 2020 to € 32.7 million in H1 2021. EBIT decreased by 14.3 % from € 24.9 million in H1 2020 to € 21.4 million in H1 2021. Net profit decreased by 12.1 % to € 13.3 million in H1 2021 against € 15.1 million in H1 2020. Further, compared to H1 2020, in H1 2021 there was an increase in depreciation and amortization of €0.6 million and an increase in interest expense of €0.5 million.

Our financial KPIs for the segments are the same as for the company, except that we do not monitor or report Adjusted EBITDA for the segments. Items like sales expense, general and administrative expense, depreciation, results related to currency fluctuations, results unrelated to the accounting period, interest income and expense, goodwill, depreciation of assets, and income taxes, are not allocated to any segment but are used to reconcile the net income for the segments to the net income of the company.

Among our segments, the standout performance was from the North America segment, which grew 12.5 % in revenues to €84.7 million from €75.3 million. This was primarily driven by growth in the Horizontal Tech and Automotive, Manufacturing and Industrial verticals. Gross margin decreased to 29.5% from 34.7%.

Rest of World grew too, to €36.5 million from €27.6 million (32.1 %). Gross margin decreased in Rest of World to 32.4% from 35.9%. The maximum contribution to growth was from the Financial services and Insurance and Retail and CPG verticals.

The Rest of Europe grew to €37.0 million from €32.5 million (13.9 %). The most growth was registered in the Retail and CPG and Automotive, Manufacturing, and Industrial verticals, and there was some growth in Travel and Logistics. Gross margin reduced to 27.9% from 31.0%

Central Europe registered a slight growth in revenue to €84.8 million from €80.6 million (5.2 %). While Automotive, Manufacturing and Industrial was the vertical with the most growth, Travel and Logistics (aviation-related business) had the largest negative impact. Gross margin decreased in Central Europe to 29.4% from 30.8%.

Revenues from the USA grew 12.8 % to €84.7 million from €75.1 million, while those from Germany grew more slowly (5.1 %) to €61.3 million from €58.4 million. As in the case of the Central Europe segment, the Germany revenues remained impacted by our disproportionate exposure to aviation in Germany.

Nagarro operates across a variety of industries. The focus on consumer experience underlies the digital transformation of almost every industry, while the technology used for this also cuts across industries. Innovation occurs increasingly often at the overlaps of the traditional industry definitions. Yet, each industry also requires specialized knowledge, and we have been investing in developing such specialized knowledge in industry after industry.

Industries with robust growth in H1 2021 over H1 2020 included Automotive, Manufacturing and Industrial (35.4 %), Retail and CPG (34.0 %) and Horizontal Tech (30.2 %).

Industries with significant negative growth in H1 2021 over H1 2020 were Telecom, Media and Entertainment (-11.9 %) andTravel and Logistics (-7.2 %).

The revenue from our top 5 clients as a percentage of total revenue in H1 2021 is in line with the revenue from our top 5 clients in H1 2020 (13.9%). Revenue from the next 5 largest clients rose slightly to

Cash flow

The basic principles of financial management at Nagarro are financial prudence and stability, ensuring a reasonable profitability and assuring adequate liquidity, even as the company grows via calculated entrepreneurial bets. The Finance Council works to ensure we have the right capital structure in place, that we are managing cash and liquidity carefully, and we are managing financial risks such as currency risks with the appropriate instruments.

We also target a balanced debt-to-equity ratio that preserves flexibility for the company, allowing it to react to business opportunities but also to changes in macroeconomic conditions. Nagarro's syndicated loan also incorporates covenants on the ratio of net debt to Adjusted EBITDA, which the company monitors and complies with.

As a headline, the company's liquidity position at the end of H1 2021 was comfortable. Liquidity was satisfactory. The current assets were €219.9 million, of which cash was €101.9 million. The current liabilities were €107.7 million, yielding a working capital of €112.2 million.

Total assets grew by €11.5 million to €398.3 million as of June 30, 2021, as against €386.8 million as of December 31, 2020. Of these, noncurrent assets increased by €1.9 million to €178.3 million as of June 30, 2021, as against €176.5 million as of December 31, 2020. Within non-current assets, goodwill grew by €2.2 million (due to currency differences), right of use from leases grew by €0.7 million (net addition of €9.0 million mainly on account of additions to lease property in India and leased data center and computers offset by amortization of €8.3 million). Intangible assets got reduced by €1.2 million to €9.8 million (mainly on account of amortisation during the period).

Current assets grew by €9.6 million to €219.9 million as of June 30, 2021, as against €210.3 million as of December 31, 2020, within which cash balance got decreased by €5.8 million to €101.9 million (primarily due to payment towards spinoff and listing liabilities of €8.4 million and acquisition liabilities of €4.2 million offset by funds received from exercise of stock option 2020/I of €3.2 million and €2.9 million cash contribution from equity holders of noncontrolling interest). Contract assets, trade receivables, other current financial assets and other current assets together increased by €11.1 million (primarily due to increase in trade receivables by €4.5 million and contract assets by €6.3 million). Income tax receivable increased by €4.2 million.

Non-current liabilities have decreased by €5.5 million mainly due to shifting of non-current loans (€3.7 million) and acquisition liabilities (€2.0 million) to current liabilities.

Current liabilities have decreased by €8.7 million mainly due to reduction in trade payables by €15.9 million (primarily on account of settlement of spinoff and listing costs of €8.4 million), acquisition liabilities by €2.2 million and other provisions by €2.6 million (net after adjusting provision related to rollover of minorities to the level of Nagarro SE of €1.4 milllion). There has been an increase in other current financial liablities by €5.1 million (mainly provisions for unbooked supplier invoices) and income tax liabilities by €3.9 million.

Financial position as at the balance sheet date

Net assets represented by total equity grew by €25.6 million from €46.5 million as of December 31, 2020, to €72.1 million as of June 30, 2021. The increase is due to increase in total comprehensive income of €16.6 million and increase in capital reserve €5.9 million (mainly contribution received on exercise of stock option 2020/I of €2.9 million as well as €2.9 million coming from issuance of stock options under SOP 2020/II and SOP 2020/III) and cash contribution of €2.9 million from equity holders of non-controlling interest.

Equity attributable to non-controlling interests has increased by €6.2 million to €8.9 million as of June, 30, 2021 from €2.7 million as of December 31, 2020, due to increase in the total comprehensive income attributable to non-controlling interests of €3.3 million and cash contribution of €2.9 million received from equity holders of non-controlling interest.

Note that management does not review assets and liabilities at the reportable segment level, and therefore segment disclosure relating to total assets and liabilities is not included in the report.

Our total cashflow was negative €5.5 million in H1 2021 against positive €26.1 million in H1 2020.

Our operating cash flow was €6.8 million in H1 2021 as compared to €38.9 million in H1 2020. The reduction in operating cash flow in H1 2021 can largely be ascribed to the payment of spin-off and listing costs of €8.4 million and increase in trade receivables by €4.5 million and contract assets by €6.3 million.

The cash outflow from financing activities in H1 2021 was €6.3 million as compared to €7.4 million in H1 2020. Major items of cash outflow in H1 2021 were lease payments of €9.0 million and repayment of principal bank loans of €2.0 million. This is offset by increase in cash flow mainly due to contribution received on exercise of stock option 2020/I of €3.2 million and cash received from equity holders of non-controlling interest of €2.9 million.

The cash outflow from investing activities in H1 2021 was €6.0 million, mainly to meet contractual payment obligations from older acquisitions. The cash outflow from investing activities in H1 2020 was €5.4 million.

Non-financial KPIs

We use a standardized client satisfaction (CSAT) survey, which is sent every quarter to the person responsible for project success on the client side. The percentage of responses that were "Always" or "Mostly" – our measures of overall satisfaction – decreased slightly to 95% in H1 2021 from 96% in H1 2020. Note that the CSAT does not cover very small engagements and at any point in time, may also not cover engagements via companies that recently became part of Nagarro.

On June 30, 2021, Nagarro had 10,903 professionals of which 10,014 were professionals in engineering. The comparable numbers for June 30, 2020 were 8,406 and 7,588 and for December 31, 2020 were 8,666 and 7,829, respectively. A number of the new joiners in this half year were engineers recently out of college, not expected to be immediately deployed in revenue-generating work.

VI •

Outlook for 2021

We continue to project Nagarro's revenue for 2021 to be in the region of €495 million, resulting in a moderate organic revenue growth rate in the region of 15%. We remain confident that our efforts in 2021 will lead us, in the medium-term, towards our historical organic revenue growth rates of approximately 20%.

We are reducing our guidance for gross margin for the year from 32% to 29%, partly due to wage inflation in our key service regions and the several months of typical lag between wage increases and subsequent increases in billing rates. Gross margins have also been hit by some Covid-19 disruptions and the hiring of more freshers than usual.

We continue to target Adjusted EBITDA margin for 2021 to be in the region of 15%.

In a supply-constrained environment, the distribution of revenue growth across segments is driven more by internal prioritization policies, which are dynamic and constantly evolving. Hence our best guidance at the segment level is that we expect the organic revenue growth rate to be roughly similar across the segments, and the gross margin of each segment to

11

be in the region of 29% for the reasons explained above.

Management projections for 2021 are forecasts and may be proved wrong, especially given the waves of uncertainty due to Covid-19.

Nagarro is continually scouting the market for potential acquisitions. Acquisitions, if any, are more likely to be of a bolt-on nature than transformative. The current strategy is to acquire for client access, so as to better leverage our existing capabilities and case studies. However, there is always the possibility of an opportunistic transaction that deviates from our current strategy. We are in discussions with a few potential targets. It is possible, but by no means assured, that a couple of these transactions may be consummated in the remainder of this year.

VII •

Risks and opportunies

In the Annual Report for 2020, we have described our approach to risk management, as well as key risk and opportunity factors. In this section, we present only the relevant changes and new developments.

The operational risk related to the supply of engineering talent has significantly increased since the publishing of the Annual Report. The competition for top software engineers has spiralled as economies have recovered from Covid-19 and companies rush to build new digital products and services. Related to this, the wages sought by top talent have also been increasing. Attrition rates have also increased for top talent. These factors may, in the short term, affect our ability to service customer demand, as well as our ability to do so profitably.

We believe that the demand for Nagarro's services is fairly price-inelastic for narrow bands of price variation, and so in the medium term, our clients will support price increases to offset these cost increases. However, the price increases may often lag the increase in wages by several months.

Covid-19 continues to threaten the personal health of our colleagues in various countries. New variants and waves of the pandemic may infect our colleagues or their loved ones. This may affect the volume of services we can deploy to our clients. The company may also need to spend more on equipment or services or financial support to help colleagues or their family members during the pandemic.

There is also the demand-side risk that the broad global economic recovery from the pandemic stutters for one reason or another. It is also possible that demand from certain industries or regions might have a slower or more painful recovery than others.

Events after the balance sheet date

VIII•

While these are described in greater detail in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements, a brief summary is in order here.

In light of the ongoing vaccination drives around the world, we expect that the subsequent waves of the Covid-19 pandemic may not have a major impact on our business in the remainder of 2021.

We expect further delays in the implementation of the newly updated labor codes in India referred to at length in the Annual Report for 2020.

We continue to work on the intended merger of Nagarro Holding GmbH and Nagarro SE. For more information, please refer to Section B of the Annual Report for 2020, note "G.XIII Events after the balance sheet date – Intended merger of Nagarro Holding GmbH and Nagarro SE". The reorganization, if it happens, would result in reduction of our carry-forward tax loss and dilution in the earning per shares attributable to the equity holders of Nagarro.

Please consult the interim condensed consolidated financial statements for more detail.

Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements

A.1

Basis of preparation

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Nagarro SE and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Group) for the six months ended June 30, 2021 are unaudited and were authorized for issuance in accordance with the resolution of the management board on August 13, 2021.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2021 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2020, which were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as endorsed by the European Union (EU), and the supplementary requirements of §315e (1) of the German Commercial Code (HGB).

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements also comply with German Accounting Standard No. 16 (GAS 16) – Interim Financial Reporting – issued by the German Accounting Standards Committee e. V. (GASC).

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in euros. Amounts are stated in thousands of euros (kEUR), except where otherwise indicated. Rounding differences may arise when individual amounts or percentages are added together.

In the opinion of the management, the interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all accounting entries (in other words, normal recurring entries) necessary for a fair presentation of Nagarro's financial position and performance. Results presented for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected in future periods or for the full financial year.

In preparing the interim condensed consolidated financial statements according to IFRS, management has made discretionary decisions, estimates and assumptions. These may affect the amount and presentation of assets and liabilities recognized in the balance sheet, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the reporting date, as well as disclosed income and expenses for the reporting period. Due to the ongoing tentativeness around the progress of the Covid-19 pandemic, these estimates and discretionary decisions are subject to uncertainty. Actual amounts may vary from these estimates and assumptions; changes can have a significant impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Nagarro SE for the half year ended June 30, 2021, have not been reviewed by an auditor or have not been audited according to section 115 (5) WpHG (German Securities Trading Act).

B.1

New standards, interpretations and amendments adopted by the Group

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, except for the adoption of new standards effective as of January 1, 2021 and the adoption of IFRS 2 Share Based Payment as Nagarro has issued stock options during the period. The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective. Several amendments apply for the first time in 2021, which are described below, but do not have a significant impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group.

Share-based payments

Key colleagues (including senior executives) of the Group received remuneration in the form of sharebased payments, whereby these colleagues render services in exchange of granting of equity instruments (equity-settled transactions).

The cost of equity-settled transactions is determined by the fair value at the date when the grant is made using an appropriate valuation model, further details of which are given in Note D.3 Staff costs.

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised in staff costs (Note D.3 Staff costs), together with a corresponding increase in equity (capital reserves), over the period in which the service and, where applicable, the performance conditions are fulfilled (the vesting period). The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Group's best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The expense or credit in the consolidated statement of profit or loss for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised at the beginning and end of that period.

Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements

B.1

B•

New standards, interpretations and amendments adopted by the Group

Service and non-market performance conditions are not taken into account when determining the grant date fair value of awards, but the likelihood of the conditions being met is assessed as part of the Group's best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. Market performance conditions are reflected within the grant date fair value. Any other conditions attached to an award, but without an associated service requirement, are considered to be non-vesting conditions. Nonvesting conditions are reflected in the fair value of an award and lead to an immediate expensing of an award unless there are also service and/or performance conditions.

The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share (further details are given in Note D.7 Earnings per share (EPS)).

Amendments to IFRS 16 - Covid-19 Related Rent Concessions

The amendments to IFRS 16 in connection with COVID-19 grant lessee relief while accounting for changes to the lease contract (lease modifications) due to rental concessions as a result of the corona pandemic. As a practical workaround, a lessee may choose to suspend the assessment of whether a pandemic lease concession from a lessor constitutes an amendment to the lease. A lessee making this choice accounts for any qualified change in lease payments resulting from the rental concession in connection with the corona pandemic in the same way as it would account for the change under IFRS 16 if it were not a lease modification.

These changes do not have any significant effects on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16

The amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 are intended to mitigate the effects of the reform of reference interest rates (so called IBOR reform) on financial reporting when an existing reference interest rate is replaced by an alternative interest rate. In particular, the amendment provides practical relief with regard to modifications that are required by the IBOR reform. In addition, hedging relationships on the balance sheet should be able to continue in spite of the replacement of the reference interest rate under adapted documentation.

These changes do not have any significant effects on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

B.2

Basis of consolidation

The interim consolidated financial statements as at June 30, 2021 include all the subsidiaries of the Group as mentioned in the consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2020 along with the following additions made during the first half of 2021:-

(i) Nagarro (Private) Limited, a newly incorporated wholly owned subsidiary in Sri Lanka.

(ii) Livisi GmbH, a company acquired in 2020 in Germany and consolidated from January 1, 2021.

(iii) Nagarro Software Co. W.L.L. Limited, a newly incorporated wholly owned subsidiary in Bahrain.

On March 26, 2021, the management board of Nagarro SE decided - as already indicated in the securities prospectus published on December 08, 2020, in connection with the initial listing of the company's shares - to enter into negotiations with the participants of the management participation program at the level of the operational management company Nagarro Holding GmbH regarding the dissolution of this program and the subsequent full integration of Nagarro Holding GmbH into Nagarro SE by way of merger, with the issuance of new shares in Nagarro SE to the members of the management participation program. Currently, members of the Management Board and executives of various Nagarro group companies (including the members of the Management Board of Nagarro SE,

Manas Fuloria and Vikram Sehgal) hold a fiduciary interest of 15.97% (December 31, 2020: 16.17%) of the shareholding in Nagarro Holding GmbH.

In order to be effective, the merger and the capital increase would require the approval of the general meeting of Nagarro SE. It is planned to submit the intended merger of Nagarro Holding GmbH and Nagarro SE for resolution at the general meeting of both Nagarro Holding GmbH and Nagarro SE on August 31, 2021. Once the merger happens, Nagarro SE will not be able to utilize the tax losses that are being carried at the level of Nagarro Holding GmbH against future profits in Nagarro SE as the same is not allowed according to the German tax law. The tax losses would thus lapse.

In order to implement the steps for the transfer of the indirect economic participation of the beneficiaries in Nagarro Holding GmbH into direct economic participation in Nagarro SE, the following reorganizations were done: -

(i) Merger of Nagarro Connect AG (merged entity) with Nagarro SE with effective merger date of January 1, 2021. The same has been entered in the commercial register.

(ii) Unbundling of Nagarro SE's indirect shareholdings in Nagarro Holding GmbH through Nagarro Beteiligungs GmbH ("BET GmbH") and Nagarro SPP GmbH ("SPP GmbH") into direct shareholding of Nagarro Holding GmbH.

The share capital of SPP GmbH was increased by kEUR 6,995 in kind with corresponding increase in its capital reserve of SPP GmbH. The capital reserve of SPP GmbH was eliminated against the inter-group loan on consolidation. As the participants of the management participation program did not participate in this increased capital, their holding in Nagarro Holding GmbH reduced by about 0.20%.

The capital of BET GmbH was increased by kEUR 5,897 (partly cash contribution of kEUR 2,948 and partly in-kind contribution of kEUR 2,949) with corresponding increase in its capital reserve of BET GmbH. The capital reserve of BET GmbH was eliminated against the intergroup loan on consolidation. The actual cash contribution from the equity holder of non-controlling interest of kEUR 2,948 has been shown in the capital reserve at consolidation level – refer C.5 Equity for details. As all the shareholders of BET GmbH, namely, Nagarro SE and both the members of management board of Nagarro SE, Manas Fuloria and Vikram Sehgal (through StarView LLC), contributed their proportionate share in the equity, this did not result in any change in the percentage holding in the equity of BET GmbH.

(iii) Merger of BET GmbH (merged entity) and SPP GmbH (merged entity) with Nagarro Holding GmbH with effective merger date of January 1, 2021 and its entry into the commercial register.

As a result of the above re-organization, Nagarro SE now directly holds 84.03% (December 31, 2020: 83.83%) and the non-controlling shareholders hold 15.97% (December 31, 2020: 16.17%) in Nagarro Holding GmbH with effect from January 1, 2021.

Carrying amounts Fair values

Contract assets (June 30, 2021: kEUR 17,207; December 31, 2020: kEUR 10,922) and lease liabilities (June 30, 2021: kEUR 56,112; December 31, 2020: kEUR 55,156) are not allocated to any of the measurement categories under IFRS 9 and are therefore not included in the tables above.

For items for which fair value is not disclosed, the carrying amounts are deemed a fair representation of the fair value.

For determining the fair value of assets and liabilities, where possible Nagarro uses prices that can be observed in the market. Depending on the input factors, the fair value is classified in different levels of the measurement hierarchy:

Level 1 Prices for identical assets and liabilities are
used that are available in active markets.
Level 2 Other measurement factors are used for an
asset or a liability that can be observed
directly or indirectly, or that can be derived
from market prices.
Level 3 Measurement factors are used that are not
based on observable market data.

In the periods under consideration there were no reclassifications between hierarchy levels.

Forward rate pricing: The fair value is determined using quoted forward rates on the balance sheet date and net present value calculations based on yield curves with high credit ratings in corresponding currencies.

Financial instruments categorized in Level 3 are derived as follows:

Contingent purchase price liabilities are measured based on the respective planning. The criteria agreed in the purchase agreements for achieving the contingent purchase prices are compared with the plans, and the fair value of the contingent purchase price liabilities is determined on this basis.

Events after the balance sheet date

In the period between June 30, 2021 and the date when the interim condensed consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Management Board of Nagarro SE, the following events of particular importance exist.

COVID-19

India, where Nagarro has the largest count of professionals in engineering, battled a deadly "second wave" of Covid-19. The virus that appeared in the second quarter of 2021 was more contagious and lethal than the virus in the first wave, and the situation was compounded by inadequate health infrastructure. Over one thousand Nagarrians were infected, 10 young Nagarrians lost their lives, and perhaps hundreds have lost loved ones. It is an enormous tragedy.

Nagarrians around the world came together to support impacted families as best as we could. Many clients also helped. Despite this, we currently expect that the subsequent waves of the pandemic are unlikely to have a major impact on 2021 business results in light of the ongoing vaccination drives in the countries where we have significant presence.

Code on Social Security 2020

We expect further delays in the implementation of the newly updated labor codes in India. For background, please refer to Section B of the Annual Report for 2020 note "G.XIII Events after the balance sheet date – Code on Social Security 2020".

Merger of Nagarro Holding GmbH with Nagarro SE

As mentioned in note B.2. Basis of consolidation, we continue to work on the intended merger of Nagarro Holding GmbH and Nagarro SE. For more information, please refer to Section B of the Annual Report for 2020, note "G.XIII Events after the balance sheet date – Intended merger of Nagarro Holding GmbH and Nagarro SE". The reorganization, if it happens, would result in reduction of our carry-forward tax loss and dilution in the earning per shares attributable to the equity holders of Nagarro.
