OUTLOOK

We are optimistic about the market outlook. The demand for sustainable waste management services continue to grow, both in Norway and internationally. Soiltech is well positioned to increase our market share across the full technology portfolio. We have proactively invested around MNOK 100 in new equipment which is available for future projects. In the short term we anticipate higher activity in Q4, and we expect this upward trend to gain significant momentum through 2025 and into 2026.

Note 4 – Income tax Accounting policies

The Group consists of companies subject to ordinary corporate taxation in Norway, and within the same tax group with respect to offsetting of deferred tax. Income tax is therefore recognized on the basis of a general application of IAS 12 without the need for further judgments or policies of significance.

Basis for recognition of deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets are recognized when it is probable that the company will have a sufficient profit for tax purposes in subsequent periods to utilize the tax asset. The Group recognize previously unrecognized deferred tax assets to the extent it has become probable that the Group can utilize the deferred tax asset. Similarly, the Group will reduce a deferred tax asset to the extent that the Group no longer regards it as probable that it can utilize the deferred tax asset. Deferred tax and deferred tax assets are measured on the basis of the expected future tax rates applicable to the companies in the Group where temporary differences have arisen based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax and deferred tax assets are recognized at their nominal value and classified as non-current asset (non-current liabilities) in the consolidated statement of financial position.

Basis for tax expense in interim periods

The tax expense in interim periods is measured by multiplying profit before tax by estimated average annual effective income tax rate.

A difference between the estimated tax cost for 2023 and tax returns of TNOK 216 is recognized as part of the 1H 2024 tax expense.

Note 5 – Cash and cash equivalents

Note 8 – Financial risk and capital management

The Group's policies for management of capital and financial risk aim to support the current strategy and target of maintaining a high rate of growth and developing prospective business opportunities. The Group's capital structure shall be robust enough to maintain the desired freedom of action and utilize growth opportunities, based on strict assessments relating to the allocation of capital. The Group debt financing consist of bank and leasing financing. The loan covenants to which the Group is subject play a key role in how capital is managed and allocated, to maintain a low financing risk and financial flexibility. See note 6 borrowings for further details on the Group's financing.

Market risk

The Group's exposure to financial market risk is mainly related to interest rates on external financing and various forms of currency risks. The Group has a diversified client list and evaluates changes in pricing structure contract by contract, as part of its mitigation process to cover for increased interest cost. The Group has not entered into any interest swap agreements.

Currency risk

The Group has Norwegian kroner (NOK) as its base currency. However, through its operations outside Norway, the Group is exposed to fluctuations in certain exchange rates, mainly Euro (EUR), British Pound (GBP) and American dollar (USD). The Group also has currency risks linked to both balance sheet monetary items and investments in foreign countries.

Interest rate risk

The Company loan and leasing agreements have floating interest rates based on NIBOR according to the financial strategy, see Note 6 borrowings, and is thereby influenced by changes in the interest market. A change of increase of 1 percentage point in 3M NIBOR means a change in yearly net interest expenses of approximately MNOK 1.7.

Credit risk

Assets that may give rise to credit risk comprise mainly trade receivables and bank deposits. For the latter, the counterparties are mainly banks established in the Nordic countries, which indicates that the credit risk should be regarded as negligible. Trade receivables are characterized by a concentration in the customer base, in terms of country and industry. The customers, however, are primarily large companies with high credit ratings, and the agreed payment terms in the contracts typically ensure that any overdue amounts are kept at low level. Thus, credit losses have historically been insignificant.

Liquidity risk

As at year-end, the Group's portfolio of loans and loan facilities is well diversified both with regards to maturity profile and lenders. In June 2024 the Company entered a 7-year loan facility of MNOK 30 with Sandnes Sparebank. Together with existing loan facility of MNOK 148 with Sandnes Sparebank, the facilities total MNOK 178.

The unused portion of the credit facilities was MNOK 39.6 as at 30.09.2024.

Note 11 – Merger with Oceanteam ASA

Soiltech ASA completed a merger with Oceanteam ASA on September 11, 2024. The merger plan was signed 30 Mai 2024 and approved by the general meetings of the respective companies on 4 July 2024. The main purpose of the merger was to achieve a listing of Soiltech ASA on the Euronext Expand marketplace.

As part of the merger, Soiltech ASA issued 527 947 new shares as consideration to the shareholders of Oceanteam ASA. This consideration was based on Oceanteam ASA having a market value of NOK 31.67 million at the date of entering into the merger agreement.

At the time of the merger, Oceanteam ASA was essentially an empty shell company without any operational activities. The only significant asset in the company was a cash balance of NOK 19.1 million. Therefore, the merger has been accounted for as a share-based payment transaction in accordance with IFRS 2. The measurement of the transaction is based on the value of the shares in Oceanteam ASA at the transaction date, which was September 11, 2024. At this time, the shares were traded at NOK 0.9, corresponding to a market value for the company of NOK 30.8 million.

The difference between the cash balance in Oceanteam ASA (NOK 19.1 million) and the fair value of the company is considered to reflect the value of the stock exchange listing, including access to new capital and recognized investors. This difference, amounting to NOK 12,8 million, has been recognized as an expense in the financial statements of Soiltech ASA in the line item "Expenses related to IPO", as it does not meet the criteria to be recognized as an asset on the balance sheet.

In addition to the expenses above, Soiltech ASA has incurred various transaction costs in connection with the process of completing the merger and subsequent listing on Euronext Expand, amounting to NOK 10.1 million in total. Of these, NOK 5.3 million is considered to be incremental costs directly attributable to the equity transaction and has therefore been recognized as a deduction of equity, reducing the capital increase from the merger. The remaining NOK 4.8 million has been recognized as an expense and is included in the line item «Expenses related to IPO» in the income statement.

Note 12 – Events after the reporting period

After the balance sheet date there are only events in the ordinary course of business and no events of an adjusting or non-adjusting nature.
