2. Summary of principal accounting policies

2.1 Basis of preparation

These condensed interim Company's financial statements, for the three months period ended 31 March 2024 are prepared in accordance with the International Financial Accounting Standards, as adopted by the European Union and applicable to interim financial statements (IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting").

In order to better understand the data presented in this condensed interim financial statements, this financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Company's financial statements for the year 2023.

The presentation currency is euro. These financial statements are presented in thousands of euro, unless otherwise stated.

The financial year of the Company coincides with the calendar year.

These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for property, plant and equipment which is recorded at revalued amount, less accumulated depreciation and estimated impairment loss, and financial assets which are carried at fair value.

These financial statements for the three months period ended 31 March 2024 are not audited. Financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023 are audited by the external auditor UAB "PricewaterhouseCoopers".

3. Climate Change Management

Through its activities, the Company aims to directly contribute to the implementation of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, focusing on ensuring access to clean and modern energy, combating climate change, developing modern infrastructure and innovations, ensuring safe and decent working conditions, promoting employee well-being, and creating a sustainable supply chain.

A sustainability significance analysis has been conducted, and based on the results, a matrix of sustainability topics' significance has been prepared. Regular environmental impact assessments and greenhouse gas emissions inventories are conducted, and plans for recommended impact reduction measures are approved, along with the calculations of the potential impact reduction for each measure.

The Company plays a crucial role in ensuring the smooth and reliable transition of Lithuania to an integrated energy system that incorporates large amounts of renewable energy resources. This facilitates sectoral decarbonization and promotes the exchange of climate-neutral energy. The Renewable Energy Center has been established within the Company to ensure a smoother development of renewable energy in Lithuania.

4. Change in presentation in the statement of comprehensive income

In 2023, to provide the users of the EPSO-G group's consolidated financial statements with the up-to-date information, the Company decided to change the presentation and classification of items in the statement of comprehensive income.

The reason for the changes in the statement of comprehensive income, alternative performance indicators EBITDA and EBIT have been singled out so that the users of the financial statements, including the Company's management, could see these indicators in the statement of comprehensive income, monitor them and make prompt decisions based on these indicators.

EBITDA is profit before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation, loss on revaluation, impairment and write-off of property, plant and equipment, and impairment and write-off of inventories and trade receivables. In management's assessment, loss on impairment and write-off of inventories and receivables should be excluded from calculations of EBITDA, because they do not arise in the ordinary activities, and are non-recurring and incidental.

The Company provides information about changes in classification and line items in the statement of comprehensive income:
