TOP HAMMER 54.4 MEUR





Robit delivered the first drilling equipment orders for the Neom project, which is one of the world's largest construction projects in Saudi Arabia near the northern end of the Red Sea. Approximately 28 kilometres of tunnel must be excavated for railway lines.
Robit attended CONEXPO-CON/AGG in Las Vegas, USA, the largest construction event in North America with more than 2,400 exhibitors and 139,000 visitors. Robit also attended the Underground Operators Conference 2023 in Brisbane, Australia.
Robit released the first modular H-series DTH hammer. The same hammer can be optimised for different conditions by replacing a few components. In addition, its fuel consumption is lower than before.

Robit piloted the RobitSave audit program at the Kemi chromium mine owned by Outokumpu Chrome. The business model promises customers 5% cost savings on drilling consumables. If this is not achieved, Robit only charges 20% of the going rate for consumables.
Robit attended Expomin 2023 together with its distributors Fullsafety and Technidrilling. The event in Santiago, Chile is the largest mining fair in Latin America.
Robit and the Brazilian company Sotreq S.A. signed a distributor agreement. The company is an official Cat dealer with more than 50 outlets covering more than 90% of the Brazilian geographic market.
Robit was an exhibitor at the Maxpo 2023 fair, the leading construction event in Finland.
Robit and its distributors Nardi and Diadrilling attended the Geofluid fair in Piacenza, Italy. Geofluid is one of the most important events for foundations and well drilling in Europe.
Agnico Eagle Finland awarded Robit Finland Oy Ltd the "Our Best Supplier of 2022" certificate for the second time. The recognition was given for consistently high performance and the excellent quality of products and services.

Robit wound down manufacturing operations at the company's Australian plant to simplify the manufacturing network and strengthen competitiveness. In future, Robit's Australian unit will focus specifically on sales, distribution and service in the local market.
In 2017, Robit merged the Halco product portfolio under the Robit brand – "one brand, one product offering" – to simplify the product offering and strengthen Robit brand.
Robit attended the 48th Annual Conference on Deep Foundations (DFI48) in Seattle, USA. DFI48 is a professional conference and exhibition on foundation construction.
Drilling consumables manufactured and supplied by Robit are used for the needs of the mining, quarrying and forepoling, underground construction and well drilling industries.
In 2023, market demand weakened in the construction industry. Market demand in the mining industry remained at a good level, but several customers and distributors de-stocked during the year, also reducing Robit's demand in the mining sector. The company ceased operations in Russia at the end of 2022, which caused 8.3 percentage decrease in the company's sales in 2023.
Robit's present market share, competitive products, extensive geographical coverage, and the steady demand typical of consumables ensure good opportunities for Robit to grow by gaining market share from other operators in the industry. In addition, the company expects the overall market for drilling consumables to grow beyond economic cycles by approximately 3 percent to 5 percent per year.
Net sales in the Americas fell in 2023, especially in the mining industry. The company's sales in the mining sector were weakened by the interruption of certain customers' operations due to, among other things, a strike, and the termination of a customer contract with a significant turnover but low profitability. During the year, the company made investments to strengthen Geotechnical sales in the region, as a result of which the sales of the Geotechnical business developed positively in North America.
During the year, Robit started cooperation with several new distributors operating in large markets, such as Brazil, the mining sector in Canada and the mining and construction sector in the US. The reinforced distribution channels and coverage strengthen the company's position in the region and provide a basis for growth.
EMEA sales operations are divided into four main regions: the Nordic countries, Central Europe, Middle East, and Africa.
In 2023, demand in the construction industry weakened, especially in the Nordic countries and Central Europe, which are important construction industry markets for Robit. Despite the weak market situation, the company was able to maintain the sales of the construction industry at the 2022 level.
In the mining industry, the company won new customers, especially in the Nordic countries and Africa. In South Africa, the company carried out a major rebuilding of its organisation. This slowed sales in the first half of the year but strengthened the company's ability to grow in the region in the future. In the second half of the year, the company's sales in southern Africa developed positively. The Middle East is a strongly developing region where, for example, infrastructure projects in Saudi Arabia support demand.

Sales in the East region decreased significantly from 2022 due to the closure of the Russian business. The company's focus in the region is to increase sales, especially in the mining segment. No significant results were achieved in the region during 2023. Large customers in the region typically follow a very systematic supplier approval process that enables them to participate in competitive tendering. During 2023, the company worked hard to make the list of approved suppliers, which will enable growth in the region in the future.

In Asia, Robit focuses on the construction industry, especially tunnelling and mining. The construction industry's relative share of net sales is higher in Asia than in the company's other markets. The weakened demand in the construction industry contributed to a decline in net sales in Asia.
The company's sales strengthened in Robit's important Korean market, but sales in the rest of Asia decreased due to the market situation as well as the distributors' high stock levels and de-stocking during the year
Robit's business in the Australasia region is mainly focused on mining. The demand in the market was good, although a slight decrease was seen in prospection drilling toward the end of the year.
Sales in the region developed positively during the year due to new customers won – mainly underground mines that use Top Hammer drilling equipment. The company has several potential sales opportunities in the region, especially for underground mines, thanks to which the outlook for sales development in the region is positive.

ROBIT IN BRIEF COMPANY BUSINESS SUSTAINABILIT Y INVESTORS THE REPOR T OF THE BOARD OF DIREC TORS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Market demand weakened during the year, which particularly affected the construction industry in Europe and Asia. Customer demand in the mining industry remained at a good level during the year, but the high stock levels of customers and distributors and de-stocking also weakened Robit's sales in the mining industry. Company's net sales dropped by 17.0 percentage reaching 92.9 million euros (112.0). A significant reason for the decrease in sales was the closure of the Russian business, which impact on the decrease in net sales was 8.3 percentage.
The company's EBITDA decreased from 2022. Profitability was weak especially in the early part of the year, but we managed to improve it with the help of savings actions implemented during the year. The impact of savings actions reflected on Q4 profits in particular. Product costs continued to rise in 2023, and the company was not able to fully compensate for the cost increases in customer pricing. Pressure on product costs eased towards the end of the year and the trend is expected to continue in 2024. In the Geotechnical business, profitability was burdened by tightened price competition in the fewer construction projects available.
In order to strengthen cash flow, the company had an ongoing Fit for Service programme focused on the development of working capital management. The programme helped to reduce inventories by EUR 8.3 million during the year, and the net cash flow from operations strengthened despite the decreased sales and profitability. The programme will continue in 2024.

ROBIT FURTHER. FASTER. ANNUAL REPORT 2023
Arto Halonen CEO Thanks to the structural changes implemented, we are starting 2024 in a stronger position."
The year 2023 was a year of structural changes for the company. We ceased production of the Australian plant at the end of the third quarter. The centralisation of production to the company's other factories will strengthen our competitiveness in the Down the Hole business. The Australian unit will focus on sales, maintenance and distribution in the local market. We also clarified the sales structure of the Down the Hole business; we will only sell products under the Robit brand. Previously, the company was active in the Down the Hole business under both the Robit and Halco brands. The brand change enables us to simplify the organisation, company structure and product offering. The measures taken were part of the company's EUR 5 million costsavings programme.
Robit's sustainability work focuses on four key themes: responsible partnerships, reducing carbon dioxide emissions in the value chain, a happy and healthy workplace and efficiency throughout the product lifecycle. We made good progress in many areas. Systematic work for occupational safety was reflected, for example, in the record number of proactive occupational safety observations made and processed.
During the year, we launched new products on the market that enable efficiency throughout the product lifecycle. Robit's new H-series hammers were introduced in the Nordic well drilling market during the year. The H-series hammers have helped customers save up to 25 percent in fuel, significantly reducing emissions from drilling. The launch of the H-series hammers will advance to other markets and applications during 2024.
Thanks to the structural changes implemented, we are starting 2024 in a stronger position. A clearer structure and a more costcompetitive supply chain have strengthened the competitiveness of the Down the Hole business and the prerequisites for profitable growth in particular.
In 2024, we will focus particularly on ensuring profitable growth. Measures to strengthen profitability will continue. The company seeks growth by further strengthening the distributor network and, in the company's direct sales countries, by focusing especially on increasing mining sales. The Fit for Service programme, which focuses on working capital management, will continue in 2024. However, the company's inventory level is not expected to decrease in 2024 as significantly as in 2023. We will focus on developing operating models and processes to maintain good stock levels and improve inventory turn even as the company grows.

The H-series hammers have helped customers save up to 25 percent in fuel, significantly reducing emissions from drilling.

ROBIT FURTHER. FASTER. ANNUAL REPORT 2023

Top Hammer (TH) drilling is primarily used in mining, earthworks, underground quarrying, and the quarrying of rock material. The Top Hammer business comprises rock drilling consumables and services. The mining sector stands as Robit's primary market, notably witnessing growth in underground mining over the recent years within Robit's Top Hammer business.
The year 2023 presented challenges, particularly due to the loss of the Russian market, significantly impacting Robit's sales. Moreover, the construction segment in Europe faced adversity. Despite these hurdles, the mining market sustained its strength, but de-stocking at customer and distributor side reduced the demand also in the mining segment.
Robit won new customers in Australia as well as in some EMEA countries. The growth experienced in Australia is a result of dedicated efforts, combining Robit's superior products with the expertise of the company's proficient local team. This progress is primarily attributed to the Top Hammer underground mining segment.
Net sales in the EMEA region were close to 2022 level. The slowdown in European construction contributed to the lack of substantial expansion. Sales in Asia and Americas declined and were affected by the slowdown of certain distributors as well as ending of some low-profit contracts impacted Robit's performance.
The challenges in the Eastern market primarily stem from
the loss of the Russian market. Sales focus was turned to other countries in the region like Kazakhstan. The region still offers growth opportunities to recover part of the lost sales from the Russian markets.
The Top Hammer business is dedicated to advancing sustainability efforts. Throughout 2023, Robit conducted tests on its packaging solutions to reduce wood consumption, particularly for rods. The company's aim is to introduce ecofriendlier packaging for rods and shanks, which not only minimizes environmental impact but also reduces overall weight. This lighter packaging will result in additional fuel savings for all stakeholders involved. Robit's goal is to fully transition to this new, more sustainable packaging by the second half of 2024, aligning its commitment to sustainability with the company's operational practices.
Throughout 2023, Robit successfully integrated Rbit across all size ranges – a journey marked by the gratifying sight of the Rbits heading to their respective jobsites from the company's production cells. Having achieved full deployment of Rbit in Robit's production lines, the company's attention now turns to exploring new carbides. This strategic pursuit aims to elevate Robit's product standards further, aspiring to establish "the best bit" available in the market. This phase heralds an exciting exploration of innovative carbide options geared towards enhancing the quality and performance of Robit offerings.
2024 holds great promise for Robit's Top Hammer business. With a robust pipeline of opportunities, Robit is geared to enter a growth phase.
ROBIT IN BRIEF COMPANY BUSINESS SUSTAINABILIT Y INVESTORS THE REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIREC TORS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The Top Hammer business comprises rock drilling consumables and services as well as Casing Systems consumables for forepoling.

ROBIT FURTHER. FASTER. ANNUAL REPORT 2023

Robit's Down the Hole (DTH) business engineers and manufactures percussive hammers and drill bits for drilling in open pit mining and quarrying environment, as well as in well drilling applications. The product offering is made up of a select range of Down the Hole hammers and drill bits suited to serve all aspects of fast-paced, high volume of rock drilling in demanding conditions with little tolerance for downtime. The offering also includes reverse circulation (RC) Down the Hole hammers and specific RC bits for rock sampling.
Robit Down the Hole products are primarily used for drill and blast hole production on mine sites and aggregates production drilling in rock quarries. Robit DTH hammers and bits are also used for drilling water well boreholes and geothermal heating. Robit RC hammers and bits are used for minerals exploration in new mining ventures and for mineral ore grade control in existing mining operations.
The main markets for drill and blast and quarrying are found in North and South America, Southern and Western Africa, and Australasia, whereas in addition to the above the primary markets for well drilling also include Europe. The demand for Robit DTH drilling tools in these business segments can be seen the highest in areas with very hard and abrasive rock combined with varying ground conditions, often in extreme environments. In less demanding, softer ground conditions the customer base often has the option to use other, non-percussive drilling methods such as rotary or tri-cone drill bits.
In 2023 Robit's DTH net sales saw a decline of 16.2 percent compared to 2022. In the company's largest markets Australasia, North America, and South America, Robit experienced a more significant decline due to the decrease in consumption by several large mining customers. This was somewhat offset by the positive rate of growth in the Nordics in the mining and the water well markets. The positive development in general was higher in the well drilling markets than in the mining and quarrying sector. The company continued to counter declined sales by focusing on winning new mining accounts and distributors especially in North and South America to regain the growth track.
Robit commenced the streamlining of the company's product offering in the beginning of 2023 by concentrating on the highmoving volume items and reducing overlapping drill bit designs, managing to cut the number of active items by 50 percent in the first step of the process. Third quarter of the year saw a major change in Robit's branding strategy as Halco, a pioneering DTH brand, was merged under Robit's single brand of DTH business. This change enables Robit to face 2024 with a simplified approach to strengthen one Robit brand across the board whilst reducing costs and sharpening the message throughout the company's sales channels. The Halco legacy remains visible in the hammer products and continues to be available to the market through select distributors.
ROBIT IN BRIEF COMPANY BUSINESS SUSTAINABILIT Y INVESTORS THE REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIREC TORS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Robit rebuilt its manufacturing business concept during the second half of 2023 by winding up the DTH manufacturing operation in Australia and by re-concentrating the company's production company's other factories.
The 4" H-series modular hammer was launched in select market areas, mainly in the Nordic well drilling market, in the second half of 2023. The H-series modular hammer family will be expanded in 2024. The second half of 2023 saw also the start of a methodical focusing on reducing Robit's net working capital by actively selling old generation products and slow-moving inventory at a successful rate.
The main drivers for drill and blast drilling are the large-scale mining activities globally. This segment is expected to develop at a moderate rate during next years. The main decision-making drivers for product selection will increasingly focus on product cost per drilled metre and fuel savings in the production drilling operations. The well drilling market continues to grow steadily at a moderate rate as the demand for potable water continues to increase. Water well boreholes are expected to go deeper over time, supporting a favourable demand for more consumables in this segment. The reverse circulation (RC) market, primarily in the exploration segment continues to fluctuate based on mineral commodities market price development, whereas mineral ore grade control drilling is expected to continue at a steady pace in existing mining operations.
The Robit H-series modular hammer family will be expanded in the first half of 2024 to add 5", 6" and 8" hammer products in addition to the 4" launched earlier in 2023. This ground-breaking DTH hammer solution will provide the customer base more operational flexibility in varying drilling conditions than seen before and will vastly improve our profitability.

ROBIT FURTHER. FASTER. ANNUAL REPORT 2023


Robit's Geotechnical business designs and manufactures tools for drilling in overburden and mixed ground conditions. The product offering consists of a wide range of Down the Hole hammers and casing advancing systems designed to serve all needs of drilling contractors and construction companies.
Robit's geotechnical products are used for foundation drilling mainly in infrastructure and housing projects but also for drilling water wells and geothermal heating. Typical applications are piling, micropiling, and anchoring.
Main markets for the business are Nordics and North America. Demand for Robit's drilling tools in this business segment is the highest in areas with hard and abrasive rock combined with demanding construction and infrastructure projects. In easy ground conditions the potential customer is typically able to use other methods.
In 2023 Geotechnical business' net sales dropped by 12.8 percent compared to 2022. The drop in net sales was caused by the significant headwinds in housing market as well as, because of stopping the business at Russia. In the Geotechnical business' largest markets Nordics and North America, Robit was able to grow slightly but suffered a drop in the South American market due to weakness in the construction and water well markets.
Geotechnical business received a major order for two significant piling projects in the United States for the company's largest hammer and relevant casing advancing systems. The project was mostly invoiced in the second half of 2023 and the drilling work will begin during 2024. These projects will serve as significant references for the North American market which Robit sees as one of the most promising markets for the company to grow in.
Profitability was somewhat affected by consuming expensive raw material purchased during the highest peaks of steel prices and tighter price competition in the market due to declining market. The cost pressure on raw material prices started to ease up towards the end of the year.
In 2023 the Geotechnical business' focus was on streamlining its product offering and ramping down old generation products, as well as lowering its net working capital in which it was successful. A healthy pipeline of R&D and development projects remain and in 2024 we will see some product launches again in geotechnical business.
Main driver for geotechnical drilling is activity of infrastructure projects. This segment combined with large industrial investments has stayed relatively stable and Robit expects it to remain at similar level in the coming year. Weakness of the housing market will most likely continue at least for the first quarter but how long after that, remains to be seen. If the housing market in Nordic growth areas starts picking up during 2024, it will bring Robit some tailwinds towards the end of the year.
Geotechnical segment comprises ground drilling consumables like DTH hammers & bits, Casing Systems, drill pipes and shock absorbers.

ROBIT FURTHER. FASTER. ANNUAL REPORT 2023
Sustainability is part of Robit's everyday operations. Robit promotes themes it has defined as important, which allow the company to gain additional recognition in the industry. Robit's sustainability work is guided by the sustainability vision defined by the company in 2021. In 2023, Robit continued to actively engage in sustainability communication within the organisation and made progress in the areas selected.
YOUR PARTNER FOR A MORE SUSTAINABLE TOMORROW

Robit develops the sustainability and operational performance of the entire supply chain through long-term partnerships. Robit works with partners who share similar principles and goals when it comes to the environment, social responsibility, and governance.
The development of customer operations and compliance with the Code of Conduct are particularly important in Robit's upstream value chain processes. For the company to make progress, distributors need to commit to the above.
Robit's suppliers play a key role in the environmental impacts caused by the company's operations. The production and transport of raw materials requires a significant amount of energy. We work together with suppliers to reduce material waste in production phases. Robit's suppliers are asked to commit to Robit's sustainable supply chain procedures, and sustainability issues are considered in audits of suppliers and subcontractors.

| KPI | Target | Result 2023 | 2022 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Our target is to have a minimum of 90% of our supplier spend coming from suppliers who have committed to Robit's supply chain policy. |
90% | 99% | 92% |
| Our target is to have a minimum of 90% of our distributors committed to Robit's ESG principles, in terms of sales volumes. |
90% | 86% | 82% |
Robit has identified CO2 reduction as one key focus area of sustainability. There are possibilities to effect to CO2 emissions by making changes in company´s own operations. However, it is also recognised that there is potential for improvement by influencing indirect effects and external stakeholders.
The emissions measured in the company's KPIs are caused by Robit's own operations. The company's 2020 carbon footprint (Scope 1 and 2) calculated according to Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol) Corporate Standard was 3,383 tCO2e corresponding to 36.9 tCO2e per million euro of net sales. While the emission intensity in 2023 was 25.7 percent below the 2020 level, it remained unchanged from 2022. At the end of September, Robit wound down manufacturing operations at its Australian plant. The concentration of production in fewer production facilities will improve the company's emission intensity. In addition, the company implemented several smaller measures to support the achievement of the goal.
| KPI | Target | Result 2023 | 2022 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Robit is committed in reducing its Scope 1 and 2 CO2 intensity by 50% from the 2020 baseline by 2030. |
- 50% | - 26% | - 26% |
Robit wants to be a good employer and offer a healthy workplace for its employees. "Respect everyone" is one of Robit's values.
The annual personnel survey was conducted in December 2023. The respondents felt that communication about the strategy and outlook had improved since the previous survey. A clear majority of the respondents felt that their team is ready to do more than expected if needed. The respondents estimated that managerial work had improved since the previous survey. This is a good basis from which to continue improvement measures, as the results reflected the cost savings and adaptation measures made in 2023, which lowered the respondents' opinions related to the employer image and future expectations, in particular. We continually work to improve safety at Robit. There is a Robit HSE team in place, which coordinates safety activities within the group. The lost-time injury frequency (LTIF) decreased during the review period, as the company significantly strengthened its proactive measures to improve safety. In 2023, a new record in the number of safety observations was reached.
| KPI | Target | Result 2023 | 2022 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Our target is zero lost-time incidents; the indicator followed is LTIF. |
0 | 4.7 | 6.4 |
| We continuously improve the engagement of our people; the indicator followed is the PeoplePower® index. |
>70 | 68.6 | 70.1 |
The material efficiency of product design and production, as well as the aim to ensure the longevity of products in customer use, are key factors in Robit's sustainability work. Finding the product that is best suited to the job and using it efficiently has a significant impact on the service life of the product and the energy consumed by the drilling. Robit's staff and distributors are continuously trained to aid customers' success. The training covers product features and guidance to customers in their efficient and effective use. Optimising the drilling operations of Robit's customers is especially conducive to efficiency. Energy consumption can be reduced, and drilling efficiency increased by finding the best ways to use Robit's products and optimising use. Decisions made at the product design stage have a significant impact on drilling efficiency. In 2023, the company launched a new H4 hammer, which reduces emissions from drilling by improving fuel consumption by up to 25 percent.
| KPI | Target | Result 2023 | 2022 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Robit is committed to providing at least 1,000 hours of consultative sales training to Robit's and its distributors sales and technical people annually. |
1,000 h | 1,919 h | 714 h |
| To improve material efficiency in internal operations, Robit has set a target of achieving a waste recovery ratio of over 90% at Robit factory locations. |
90% | 88.1% | 89.9% |
Improving the energy efficiency of products through product development is an effective way for Robit to positively influence its carbon handprint. Robit's new H4 hammer for DTH drilling is a good example of product development leading to significant reductions in the energy consumption of the product during use.
On average, the new hammer saves almost 10 percent fuel compared to Robit's previous hammer model and up to 25 percent compared to similar competitor products. Drilling a typical geothermal well using the new hammer model consumes approximately 50 litres less fuel, corresponding to an emission reduction of approximately 0.12 tCO2e. Consequently, the emission reduction of one drill rig per year can amount to approximately 44.6 tCO2e, corresponding to 1.5 percent of Robit's 2023 Scope 1 and 2 emissions. Switching 100 drill rigs to the new hammer model will reduce emissions with an amount equal to Robit's 2023 Scope 1 and 2 emissions. The new product also has a significantly lower environmental impact in terms of manufacture and transport, as material use has been optimised by 14 percent.

The use of alkaline blackening in the surface treatment of Robit's earth drilling products was discontinued in autumn 2023. It was replaced with a protective oil-based surface treatment.
The change reduces the environmental impact of products. In addition, discontinuing alkaline blackening reduces the amount of chemical waste and eliminates the need to use substances classified as harmful to the environment at any stage of the corrosion prevention process. The change also has a positive impact on occupational safety. Instead of the previous ten chemicals, the new corrosion prevention process only requires one chemical, significantly decreasing the need to store chemicals in production facilities.

Market demand weakened during 2023, which affected the construction industry in Europe and Asia in particular. Customer demand in the mining industry remained at a good level during the year, but the high stock levels of customers and distributors, and de-stocking, weakened Robit's sales also in the mining industry. Orders received stood at EUR 93.0 million (105.3) in 2023. The company's net sales for 2023 declined by 17.0 percent to EUR 92.9 million (112.0). In constant currencies, the decline was 13.7 percent. A significant reason for the decreased sales was the closure of the Russian business, which had an 8.3 percent impact on the declined net sales.
The company's net sales increased clearly in the Australasia region. The company has won several new customers in the region, and the resulting effect was evident in the last quarter of the year. In the other market areas, net sales declined from 2022. Customer demand was low in the construction, prospection drilling and well drilling segments at the end of the year. Of the business units, Geotechnical experienced growth in the last quarter of the year, when a major project delivery was carried out to North America.
The company's full-year EBITDA decreased from the 2022 level. Profitability was weak, especially in the early part of the year, but the company managed to improve it with the help of the austerity measures implemented during the year. The impact of the austerity measures was evident particularly in the profitability of the fourth quarter or the year. Product costs continued to rise in 2023, and the company was unable to fully compensate for the cost increases in customer pricing. The cost pressure eased towards the end of the year, and the same trend is expected to continue in 2024. Profitability in the Geotechnical business was burdened by intensified price competition due to decreased construction projects.
Robit's net cash inflow from operating activities strengthened significantly during the review period, amounting to EUR 7.0 million. The result was made possible by implementation of the Fit for Service programme, which focused on strengthening cash flow. The programme helped to reduce stocks during 2023 by EUR 8.3 million. The programme and inventory optimisation will continue in 2024.
The year 2023 was a year of structural changes for the company. We discontinued manufacturing at the Australian plant at the end of the third quarter, resulting in a positive impact of EUR 0.7 million on the company's EBITDA. Centralising manufacturing to the company's other plants will strengthen our competitiveness in the Down the Hole business. In future, the Australian unit will focus on sales, maintenance, and distribution on the local market. We also clarified the sales structure of the Down the Hole SBU; we will sell products only under the Robit brand. Previously, the company was active in the Down the Hole SBU under both the Robit and the Halco brands. This brand change enables the simplification of the organisation, company structure and product offering. The measures taken were part of the company's EUR 5 million cost-savings programme.
Robit's sustainability work focuses on four key themes: responsible partnerships, reducing carbon dioxide emissions in the value chain, a happy and healthy workplace, and efficiency throughout the product lifecycle. Systematic work towards achieving our goals progressed as planned. Our employee satisfaction strengthened, and we succeeded in significantly reducing CO2 emission intensity, among other accomplishments.
During the year, we launched new products on the market that enable efficiency throughout the product lifecycle. In the third quarter of the year, we introduced the Robit Rbit drill bit series for drifting and tunneling. With the Rbit series, we aim to help our customers reduce drilling costs through higher penetration rates and lower cost per drill meter.
We enter 2024 stronger thanks to implemented structural changes. A clearer structure and a more cost-competitive supply chain have particularly strengthened the competitiveness of the Down the Hole business and the conditions for profitable growth.
In 2024, we will focus particularly on ensuring profitable growth. The measures to strengthen profitability will continue. The company seeks growth by further strengthening the distributor network and, in the company's direct sales countries, by focusing especially on increasing mining sales. The Fit for Service programme, which focuses on working capital management, will continue in 2024. However, in 2024, the company's stock level is not expected to decrease as significantly as in 2023. We will focus on developing operating models and processes for maintaining optimised stock levels and for improving inventory turnover as the company grows.
SUSTAINABILITY
The measures taken to improve work safety bore fruit. The lost-time injury frequency rate decreased during the year, and the company made a record number of safety observations. In terms of emission intensity, the trend improved towards the latter part of the year, yet we fell somewhat short of the comparison year. The number of consultative sales hours increased significantly during the year, and we were able to raise the number of responsible suppliers and distributors. the year, and the company made a record number of safety observations.

Robit Plc's Annual General Meeting was held in Tampere on 15 March 2023. The decisions and other materials related to the meeting are available on the company's website at https://www.robitgroup.com/investor/corporate-governance/general-meeting/.
Robit is a global growth company selling and manufacturing drilling consumables. The company provides products and services for the needs of the mining and surface mining, quarrying, underground construction and well drilling industries. This strongly internationalised company's offering is divided into three product and service areas: Top Hammer, Down the Hole and Geotechnical. Robit has its own sales and service points in seven countries as well as an active dealership network through which it sells to more than 100 countries. Robit's manufacturing units are located in Finland, South Korea, and the UK. Robit is dedicated to act responsibly in its business. Daily work is directed by strategy, values, and operating principles of the Group.
Robit follows international and local laws and statutes in force in its business. The company follows also international agreements and recommendations, such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
The Code of Conduct guides our responsibility. The induction of every new Robit employee includes the completion of the Code of Conduct eLearning programme. This is to ensure that everyone working in the company knows our Code of Conduct and is committed to it. The Code of Conduct provides guidelines on, among others, the following issues: compliance with laws, human and labour rights, equality, honesty, and fair competition.
The use of alkaline blackening in the surface treatment of Robit's earth drilling products was discontinued in autumn 2023. It was replaced with a protective oil-based surface treatment.
The change reduces the environmental impact of products. In addition, discontinuing alkaline blackening reduces the amount of chemical waste and eliminates the need to use substances classified as harmful to the environment at any stage of the corrosion prevention process. The change also has a positive impact on occupational safety. Instead of the previous ten chemicals, the new corrosion prevention process only requires one chemical, significantly decreasing the need to store chemicals in production facilities.
Robit is developing its sustainability and operational performance both upstream and downstream in its value chain through long-term partnerships. Robit works with partners who share similar principles and targets when it comes to the environment, social responsibility, and governance.
Cooperation is carried out with suppliers to reduce the loss of materials in the production phases. Robit suppliers are asked to commit to the principles of Robit Sustainable Supply Chain Policy, and sustainability topics are included in the audits of suppliers and subcontractors.
Robit has identified CO2 reduction as one key focus area of sustainability. There are possibilities to effect to CO2 emissions by making changes in company´s own operations. However, it is also recognized that there is potential for improvement by influencing indirect effects and external stakeholders.
The emissions measured in the company's KPIs are caused by Robit's own operations. The company's 2020 carbon footprint (Scope 1 and 2) calculated according to Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol) Corporate Standard was 3,383 tCO2e corresponding to 36.9 tCO2e per million euro of net sales.
In product development, emission reduction is also taken into account, as exemplified by Robit's new H4 hammer developed for Down the Hole drilling. The emissions resulting from the use of a similar product are reduced by Robit's 2023 Scope 1 and 2 emissions when approximately 100 drilling rigs transition to using the new hammer model.
In 2023, the company's Scope 1 and 2 emission intensity was 27.4 CO2e per million euros of revenue (2022: 27.3 CO2e per million euros of revenue), representing a change from the 2020 baseline of -25.7 percent.
Robit targets to be a desired employer and to offer a healthy workplace for its employees. In addition to complying with statutory requirements the company wants to support employee wellbeing and competence development. "We respect everybody" is one of the three Robit values that have been actively communicated to personnel.
Robit constantly strives to improve work safety in all aspects of the company's operations. There is a Robit HSE Team in place, which coordinates safety activities within the Group. Robit continues to build diversity and inclusion as a natural part of Robit culture. Diversity is already today one of the strengths at Robit and there are tens of different nationalities working in the company. Several communication channels for the personnel have been taken into use, including etc. Feeling Pulse for weekly feedback, Viva Engage for informal discussions, Robit Talks, where important topics, like values and company development areas are discussed, and Whistleblowing channel in accordance with the law.
Efficiency throughout the product lifecycle means:
Especially big leverage is in optimizing Robit's customers' drilling operations. By optimizing the drilling operation, it is possible to reduce energy consumption and increase rate of penetration and thus drilling efficiency. Robit has been training it´s sales and distributors so that they would have better capability to find best products for the end-users and thus support them to perform drilling in effective way.
Robit has defined measurable targets for each four key themes in order to follow the realization of the ESG roadmap. Robit launched the targets as a part of the ESG plan in September 2021. In 2023 Robit continued its active sustainability communication inside the organisation and reached positive development in the key target areas.

The notes to the consolidated financial statements include six sections: About the consolidated financial statements, Robit's performance, Goodwill and other intangible assets, Capital structure and financing, Operating assets and liabilities and Other Notes. Each part includes related significant accounting principles. This presentation aims at providing the reader a clear understanding of the Group's financial position and performance as well as selected accounting policies.
Robit enters into contracts with customers to supply its products, such as drill bits and casing systems. In general, these products are standardised and require only limited specifications provided by customers. Robit is responsible for the purchase or production of the products and in some cases also for their delivery. The performance obligation ends when the goods have been delivered to the customer. If the performance obligation ends based on terms of delivery only when the customer has received the goods, sales revenue is recognised at the time of receipt. The time of recognition of sales is specified by terms and conditions in the sales contract, such as based on terms of delivery or the customer's acceptance procedure.
Longer-term supply contracts covering individual purchase orders are also entered into with customers, for example for the supply of consumables for mines or projects. The performance obligations associated with these longer-term contracts are recognised based on terms of delivery at the time of delivery and are not partially recognised, for example based on the degree of completion of the projects over time, because Robit's products are consumables in nature. Return or repayment obligations are generally not associated with supply contracts. Robit is responsible for ensuring that the products meet the customer's order in terms of technical specifications and also Robit's own quality standards at the time of delivery. If a technical or qualitative problem due to Robit is identified in a product, Robit is obliged to supply to customer with replacement products. These obligations are assessed for each contract in turn, and a separate warranty provision is recognised for them (presented in Note 5.5). Because the products are consumables in nature, no long-term warranty obligations that could be payable in future financial years are associated with the products.
Some customer contracts may contain a variable discount component that allows the customer to receive a quantity discount if the quantities of the original delivery contract are exceeded. In these cases, the realisation of the quantity discount is estimated for each contract in turn and deducted for sales revenue based on the most probable value. The significance of such contracts for the recognition of Robit's sales revenue is currently very minor, however. For these reasons, no significant judgmental decisions are made in the recognition of sales revenue.
Terms of payment and payment periods vary from customer to customer. The applied terms of payment and length of payment period granted to the customer are influenced by, among other things, the geographical location of the customer and the production plant and their distance from each other. In addition, the customer's terms of payment are influenced by the customer-specific credit risk, which is assessed based on the customer's geographical location, the customer's financial situation and the customer's previous payment behaviour. Typically, credit terms of payment are used with customers in cases where the performance obligation ends before payment is received from the customer. Cash discounts are generally not used but, if they are used, the cash discounts given are deducted from net sales. With some customers, an advance payment principle is applied, and the advance payments received from customers are entered in the balance sheet (disclosed in Note 5.6). Significant credit components are generally not associated with sales transactions.
Robit enters into service agreements with customers that include services such as technical support or training in addition to supplying the products. These services bring added value for the client and they are not part of the integration of products that takes place at the customer. The agreements therefore typically include more performance obligations, service and products sold. Selling prices are allocated to different performance obligations relative to their separate selling prices. Possible discounts are allocated proportionately to all performance obligations. Product sales revenue is recorded at a specific time (see above), whereas sales revenue for services is recognised over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the services provided by Robit. The degree of fulfilment of a performance obligation relative to sales is measured using the output-based method, whereby the degree of fulfilment is measured based on the service provided to date.

The goodwill of Top Hammer cash-generating unit has been tested for impairment as of December 31, 2023. The values used for the goodwill testing and their impact are presented in the table below.
Based on the assumptions below, the recoverable amount of the Top Hammer cash-generating unit is estimated to exceed the carrying amount of tested net assets by EUR 16 209 thousand, which represents 37 % of the carrying amount of the tested assets.
Management has determined the values for key assumptions used in the impairment testing of the Top Hammer cashgenerating unit as follows:
| Assumption | Approach used to determine values |
|---|---|
| Net sales growth | The cumulative annual growth rate for the revenue is expected to be 10.1 % (2022: 9.2%) during the three-year forecast period. Net sales are expected to increase since the company has strengthened its distribution network, has been able to win multi-year mine contracts, and has strengthened its product offering. |
| EBITDA-margin | Average EBITDA-margin is expected to be 14.6% (2022: 11.9 %) during the three-year forecasting period. The long-term EBITDA is expected to be 15.6% (2022: 12.9 %) of the net sales. This is based on implemented measures and management's expectations for future development. |
| Long-term growth rate |
The long-term growth rate beyond three year forecast period is expected to be 1.5% (2022: 1.5%) per annum. This in line with the expected long-term inflation rate. |
| Pre-tax discount rate |
The pre-tax discount rate used in impairment testing is 16.5% (2022: 14.8 %). This reflects the specific risks relating to Down the Hole business and the countries in which it operates. |
The recoverable amount of Top Hammer cash-generating unit would equal its carrying amount if any of the key assumptions were to change as follows (keeping other assumptions constant):
| Assumed values in goodwill impairment calculations, Top Hammer 2023 | From | To |
|---|---|---|
| Average EBITDA-margin during the three-year forecast period | 14.6 % | 2.5 % |
| Average EBITDA-margin (exceeding the three-year forecasting period) | 15.6 % | 11.2 % |
| Pre-tax discount rate | 16.5 % | 22.3 % |
The goodwill of Geotechnical cash-generating unit has been tested for impairment as of December 31, 2023. The values used for the goodwill testing and their impact are presented in the table below.

| Long-term growth rate |
The long-term growth rate beyond three-year forecast period is expected to be 1.5% per annum. This in line with the expected long-term inflation rate. |
| Pre-tax discount rate |
The pre-tax discount rate used in impairment testing is 16.3%. This reflects the specific risks relating to Geotechnical business and the countries in which it operates. |

Intangible assets are recognized in the balance sheet when the asset can be controlled by Robit, the expected future benefits attributable to the asset will flow to Robit and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. An intangible asset is initially recognized at cost, comprising of its purchase price and any directly attributable expenditures. Intangible assets are carried in the balance sheet at acquisition cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.
Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method depending on the useful life of the asset. The appropriateness of the amortization periods and method is assessed at each balance sheet date. The useful lives for Robit's intangible assets are as follows:
| Years | |
|---|---|
| Customer relationships | 7-10 |
| Brand | 15 |
| Intangible rights | 5 |
| Other intangible assets | 5 |
Development costs are capitalized when certain criteria related to economic and technical feasibility are met, and it is expected that the product will generate future economic benefits. Capitalized development costs include mainly materials, supplies and direct labour costs. Earlier expensed development costs are not capitalized later. Intangible assets under development are not amortized, but they are tested for impairment at least annually.
Costs incurred in the development phase of a development project are capitalized as intangible assets if a number of criteria are met. Management has made judgements and assumptions when assessing whether a project meets these criteria, and on measuring the costs and the economic life as well as the future cash inflows generated by the development projects. Expected returns from capitalized development projects involve estimates and judgement from the management about the future net sales and related costs. These estimates involve risks and uncertainties, and it is possible that, following changes in circumstances, expected returns from capitalized development projects change. Robit assesses indications of impairment for capitalized development projects. The value for capitalized development projects may decrease if the expected returns from new services change.

Property, plant and equipment is initially recognized at historical cost which comprises of the purchase price and other expenditures directly related to the acquisition that are necessary for bringing the asset to its operating condition and location. Items of property, plant and equipment are carried in the balance sheet at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Items of property, plant and equipment leased under the lease terms are accounted for similarly to purchased property, plant and equipment. Repair and maintenance costs are recognized as expenses at the time they incur.
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
| Years | |
|---|---|
| Buildings and structures | 10-30 |
| Machinery and equipment | 5-15 |
| Other tangible assets | 5-10 |
The assets' useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.
Gains or losses on disposal of property, plant and equipment are included either within other operating income or other operating expenses in the statement of comprehensive income.
Property, plant and equipment is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use.
The group follows a guideline based on the IFRS 16 standard for determining the lease period. In determining the expected rental period, the financial effects of sanctions included in rental agreements, for example related to early termination of the agreement, have been considered. The options to extend and terminate the rental period have been considered when defining the length of the rental period according to the standard guidelines. The extension option is included in the rental period if it is reasonably certain that the extension option will be used, and correspondingly, if it is reasonably certain that the termination option will not be used, the period covered by the option is included in the rental period. When the contract includes a lease component and, in addition, a non-lease contract component, the group separates non-lease contract components, such as maintenance, services, etc., at the separate prices mentioned in the lease contracts or based on an estimate.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are accounted for using the liability method for all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to be applied when the related deferred tax asset is realized, or the deferred tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences except for deferred tax liability where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilised.
Realisable value of deferred tax assets is assessed at each balance sheet date and adjustments are made in case there is indication that utilisation of deferred tax assets would no longer be probable.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred taxes assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.
Judgement is required in assessing whether deferred tax assets and certain deferred tax liabilities are recognized on the balance sheet. Deferred tax assets are recognized only where it is considered more likely than not that they will be recovered, which is dependent on the generation of sufficient future taxable profits. Assumptions about the generation of future taxable profits depend on management's estimates of future cash flows that relate among others to the amount of future net sales, operating costs and finance costs. The Group's ability to generate taxable income depends also on factors related to general economy, finance, competitiveness and regulations that the Group is unable to control. These estimates and assumptions are subject to risk and uncertainty, hence it is possible that changes in circumstances will alter expectations, which may impact the amount of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities recognized on the balance sheet and the amount of other tax losses and temporary differences not yet recognized.
The Group's management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. The amount of current income tax liabilities for identified uncertain tax positions is recognized when it is probable that certain tax positions will be challenged and may not be fully sustained upon review by tax authorities.
The gross movement on the deferred tax account is as follows: The gross movement on the deferred tax account is as follows:

Consequently, the investment in the interest fund has been reclassified from Cash equivalents to Other financial assets, which are valued at fair value with profit and loss impact.

To the Annual General Meeting of Robit Oyj
In our opinion
Our opinion is consistent with the additional report to the Audit Committee.
We have audited the financial statements of Robit Oyj (business identity code 0825627-0) for the year ended 31 December 2023. The financial statements comprise:
We conducted our audit in accordance with good auditing practice in Finland. Our responsibilities under good auditing practice are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
We are independent of the parent company and of the group companies in accordance with the ethical requirements that are applicable in Finland and are relevant to our audit, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
To the best of our knowledge and belief, the non-audit services that we have provided to the parent company and to the group companies are in accordance with the applicable law and regulations in Finland and we have not provided non-audit services that are prohibited under Article 5(1) of Regulation (EU) No 537/2014. The nonaudit services that we have provided are disclosed in note 2.4 to the Financial Statements.

| • Overall group materiality: 0,9 million euros, which represents approximately 1 % of the group's total revenue. |
|
|---|---|
| • In addition to the parent company, the scope of the audit of the consolidated financial statements included all significant companies with production facilities and specified audit procedures in selected sales companies, covering the majority of the group's revenue, assets and liabilities. |
|
| • Revenue recognition cut-off • Valuation of goodwill • Inventory existence |
As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risks of material misstatement in the financial statements. In particular, we considered where management made subjective judgements; for example, in respect of significant accounting estimates that involved making assumptions and considering future events that are inherently uncertain.
The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. An audit is designed to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered material if individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements.
Based on our professional judgement, we determined certain quantitative thresholds for materiality, including the overall group materiality for the consolidated financial statements as set out in the table below. These, together with qualitative considerations, helped us to determine the scope of our audit and the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements on the financial statements as a whole.
| Overall group materiality | 0,9 million euros |
|---|---|
| How we determined it | Approximately 1 % of the group's total revenue |
| Rationale for the materiality benchmark applied |
We chose total revenue as the benchmark because, in our view, it is the benchmark against which the performance of the group is most commonly measured by users and is a generally accepted benchmark. Revenue, in our opinion, provides a more stable basis for defining materiality. |

We tailored the scope of our audit, taking into account the structure of the group, the accounting processes and controls, and the industry in which the group operates.
In addition to the parent company, the scope of the audit of the consolidated financial statements included all significant companies with production facilities and specified audit procedures in selected sales companies, covering the majority of the group's revenue, assets and liabilities. Through the audit procedures performed in the above-mentioned reporting units, as well as the additional audit procedures we performed at the group level, we have acquired a sufficient amount of appropriate audit evidence from the group's financial information as a whole to form the basis of our opinion on the consolidated financial statements.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
As in all of our audits, we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including among other matters consideration of whether there was evidence of bias that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.
Refer to accounting principles and note 2.1 of the consolidated financial statements
The group's net sales mainly consist of the sale of consumable parts for drilling equipment worldwide. The most important products of the drilling equipment are drill bits and casing systems.
The time of recording revenue is determined based on the conditions related to the sales contracts. From the point of view of the recording date, the key conditions are the delivery condition and the customer's approval procedure. Revenue is recorded when control over the products has been transferred to the customer.
We believe that business transactions that take place near the end of the financial year include the risk associated with a cut-off in revenue recognition, so that business transactions would be prematurely recorded in an earlier financial year.
Our audit procedures included, for example, the following procedures:

On 31 December 2023 the Group's goodwill balance amounted to EUR 5,3 million. Goodwill and intangible rights with indefinite lives are allocated to the cash-generating units.
The Company tests goodwill for potential impairment whenever there is an indication that the carrying value may be impaired and at least once a year.
The recoverable amounts are determined using the value-inuse model. Value in use calculations are subject to significant management judgement with respect to cash flows forecasts and discount rates.
Valuation of goodwill is a key audit matter due to the significance of the balance sheet amount and the high degree of management judgement involved.
Our audit procedures included, for example, the following procedures:
Refer to accounting principles and note 5.2 of the consolidated financial statements
The group's inventory is EUR 36.1 million.
Inventories mainly consist of raw materials and finished products, such as drill bits, drill rods and casing systems, as well as hammer components and assembled hammers.
In the audit, we focused on the risk that the inventory's existence would include a material misstatement.
Our audit procedures included, for example, the following procedures:

We have no key audit matters to report with respect to our audit of the parent company financial statements.
There are no significant risks of material misstatement referred to in Article 10(2c) of Regulation (EU) No 537/2014 with respect to the consolidated financial statements or the parent company financial statements.
The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU, and of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the laws and regulations governing the preparation of financial statements in Finland and comply with statutory requirements. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are also responsible for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for assessing the parent company's and the group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting. The financial statements are prepared using the going concern basis of accounting unless there is an intention to liquidate the parent company or the group or to cease operations, or there is no realistic alternative but to do so.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with good auditing practice will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with good auditing practice, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the parent company's or the group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the parent company or the group to cease to continue as a going concern.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

We were first appointed as auditors by the annual general meeting on 15 March 2023. Our appointment represents a total period of uninterrupted engagement of 1 year.
The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the report of the Board of Directors and the information included in the Annual Report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. We have obtained the report of the Board of Directors prior to the date of this auditor's report and the Annual Report is expected to be made available to us after that date.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. With respect to the report of the Board of Directors, our responsibility also includes considering whether the report of the Board of Directors has been prepared in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations.
In our opinion
If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor's report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
