Quarterly Revenue and EBITDA margin
We finished the fourth quarter with new flagship agreements with EMSA and Lockheed Martin UK, which will catalyse growth in the NUTech and Nordun business units in the coming years. Revenues in the quarter added to the strong, continued growth trajectory, with rolling 12 months revenues at record high. In 2023, our overriding priority is to convert high value customer agreements to cash flow, scale our manufacturing activities and streamline operations through cost control and pooling of resources in two business units.
Winter, and specifically the fourth quarter, is low season for maritime flight services in Europe, and our other activities were ramping up production for delivery and invoicing in 2023. However, we were still able to increase revenues by 48% compared to the same quarter last year. We also secured high value, long-term contracts in the quarter, setting the stage for continued growth as well as profitability.
Firstly, completing testing, we received the final approval required for the signature of the OP5 maritime surveillance contract we were awarded by the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA), a framework contract for the period 2023-2027. The contract value is up to EUR 20.5 million, the largest contract in the company's history, and we expect utilisation to ramp up towards the end of 2023.
Secondly, we entered into a ten-year framework contract with Lockheed Martin UK for AirRobot's Heimdal sensors and software, which will be used in the UK Ministry of Defence's TIQUILA drone program. We received the first EUR 1.5 million call off order in December, and where total orders could exceed EUR 5 million in 2023.
Responding to customers and focusing our strategic plans, we are simplifying our financial and organisational structure by consolidating business unit NUMar into Nordun and business unit NUGlobal into NUTech. The purpose is to create a clear distinction between our flight services and our technology, enabling two distinct business models with separate customers, suppliers and partners to thrive and grow at speed. Into 2023, the NUTech business unit is fully
focused on the successful production and deliveries of lightweight drone systems to the German army (Bundeswehr) under the MIKADO II contract, as well as to Lockheed Martin UK under the TIQUILA contract. Additionally, the business unit has landed contracts for drone-in-a-box solutions to prestigious Belgian clients.
The Nordun business unit continues to focus on the delivery of the sophisticated missions contracted by EMSA. Additionally, Nordun will oversee Ecoxy's emissions measurement and verification business and support the NUAer JVs drone-based emission monitoring services.
These new framework agreements strengthen these two business units, and result in significantly increased backlog visibility. Our total contract backlog is now totaling EUR 89 million, confirming Nordic Unmanned's leading position in the European unmanned aerospace community.
Financially, 2022 was a challenging year with poor profitability and productivity, with lower utilization of our fleet on certain of our flight contracts in addition to lower realised sales than expected. We raised a gross total of NOK 166 million from investors and employees in challenging market conditions, to invest in our fleet newbuild program, centralised remote operations, manufacturing, M&A transactions and to reduce our debt position. I am thankful for the investments made in our business, as well as the support we have received from our financing partners, in our continued efforts to grow, scale and ensure a profitable Nordic Unmanned - fit to execute on our contract backlog and capture a wealth of upcoming opportunities.
In 2023, we are fully committed to achieving profitability and shareholder value creation. We are simplifying our structure, and cost initiatives alone are decreasing run -rate salary costs by 20% from Q4 to Q1. We have also been able to secure repricing of major contracts, partly mitigating inflationary and other effects and securing improved margins and will continue constructive dialog with our customers to ensure we can deliver value creating services for them also in a new macro environment. We expect the delivery schedule for NUTech OEM products to balance the seasonality of Nordun, and thereby cater for lower group sales seasonality and higher profitability throughout the year. To sharpen our strategic focus and enhance return on capital employed, we are exploring options for divesting certain non -core assets.
The planned H1 2023 uplisting will be postponed until the company has demonstrated the targeted financial performance s in each of its business units in line with revenue and profitability expectations as communicated to the market, and the capital structure supports the planned continued ambitious growth.
In short: We are proud to be at the forefront of use case creation for unmanned aerial vehicles and continue to experience strong demand in the market, both for our products and our services. We are fully committed to being profitable and cash positive from operations and look forward to updating investors as we move further into 2023.

The fourth quarter confirms a trend increasing revenue growth from sale of drone technology. The business unit NUTech has become a larger revenue contributor than resale and system integration revenue from third party technology partners. Large industrial contracts awarded to NUTech, such as MIKADO II and TIQUILA, also generates stability in revenue, and helps balance seasonality in the Nordun service revenue. Service revenue is still driven by European operations and remains seasonable with 2nd and 3rd quarter being the period with the highest utilisation of our fleet. The trend is expected to continue and in 2023 we expect to see a balanced revenue contribution from services and products.
In Q4, the Group revenue ended at EUR 3.7 million, representing a 48% increase from Q4 2021. For the year 2022, revenue ended at EUR 16.5 million, representing an increase of 79% compared to 2021.
NUTech ended up with the strongest growth, with a revenue of EUR 1.5 million, representing a growth of 89% from the same quarter last year. EBITDA ended at 0.3 million before impairment and inventory obsoleteness of EUR 2.7 million.
Nordun revenue ended at EUR 1.5 million, an increase of 20% compared to Q4 2021. EBITDA was negative EUR 1.0 million compared to a loss of EUR 1.2 million in Q4 last year.
NUMar reported revenue of EUR 0.4 million, the same as in Q4 2021. EBITDA ended at negative EUR 0.2 million.
NUGlobal sales in the quarter were EUR 0.3 million, an increase of 183% compared to Q4 2021. Adjusted EBITDA was negative EUR 0.3 million and includes a EUR 0.2 million contract asset write-down.
Adjusted EBITDA for the Group before write downs and impairments was negative EUR 2.4 million, compared to negative EUR 2.8 million for the same period last year. Full year EBITDA ended at a loss of EUR 8.6 million compared to a loss of EUR 5.3 million in 2021.
In Q4, the company closed the Staaker development office in Oslo as part of the earlier announced cost saving plan, and with the increasing focus on the existing product lines in AirRobot and DroneMatrix. For prudential reasons, the board has decided to make an aggregate EUR 2.3 million write down of its longterm assets related to its Staaker product line. Another 0.4 million of inventory obsoleteness effects the results of Staaker and AirRobot, in addition to 0.2 million of cost related to contract assets in NUGlobal. Total negative effect for the quarter is EUR 3.0 million.
Depreciation and amortization for the quarter amounted to EUR 1.7 million, of which EUR 0.7 million is related to fixed assets (drones), EUR 1.0 million is related to intangible assets, including concessions, patents and licenses, and the balance associated with the right of use (lease obligations).
Unallocated overhead expenses ended at EUR 1.3 million for the quarter. The costsaving program that was initiated in Q3 will not have full effect before Q1 2023. The number of FTE's in the Norwegian entity were reduced with 12 (10%) in Q4 and will be reduced with another 19 FTE's in Q1 (19%). This will represent EUR 0.5 million in reduced costs related to discontinued activity and personnel cost.
The pre-tax loss amounted to EUR 7.2 million for the quarter and EUR 18.1 million for the year.
As a result of being a Norwegian based growth company with increasing activity outside Norway, the company have decided to derecognize a deferred tax asset in the balance sheet related to Norwegian taxes of EUR 5.0 million. The deferred tax will be carried forward off balance sheet until the company is in a tax position.
Nordic Unmanned had cash and committed credit lines of EUR 6.7 million as of year-end, of which EUR 2.9 was related to available credit lines in subsidiaries.
Nordic Unmanned will adjust its drone fleet to meet its contractual obligations and structure of the new contract backlog. Fleet composition and adjustments will depend on use case opportunities but may also lead to a reduction of the rotary wing fleet. The remaining capital expenditure related to our fixed-wing fleet to honor our obligations under both the OP46 and the OP5 contracts is lower than the expected capital raised from divestment of rotary wing assets. Hence a fleet adjustment is expected to represent a source of capital and a reduction of longterm debt for Nordic Unmanned. The
company sees significant synergies in terms of fleet utilization, training, crewing, spare parts planning, and backup from utilizing the same Aerosonde 4.7 system on both BVLOS contracts, OP46 and OP5 with two different configurations. The ambition of the Company is to generate higher revenue on a lower use of capital in 2023 and 2024 compared to 2022.
Nordic Unmanned will focus on providing drone operational services through Nordun and drone technology through our NUTech portfolio. Sale of other nonstrategic assets will also be considered, and we have mature processes related to divestments that is expected to take place in Q2.
In December 2022, Nordic Unmanned raised gross proceeds of NOK 70 million through a private placement, strengthening the company's liquidity and solidity. Another NOK 9.6 million was raised in a subsequent offering in February 2023. There was no other significant addition to the balance sheet in the quarter, and total assets amounted to EUR 46.1 million. Total equity amounted to EUR 22.5 million, representing a book equity ratio of 49%.
Current assets amounted to EUR 7.7 million, and current liabilities amounted to EUR 9.4 million, including EUR 3.0 million in short-term portion of long-term debt and lease obligations. The company has reduced short-term interest-bearing debt with EUR 4.5 million
Cash flow from operating activities was negative EUR 0.4 million for Q4 2022.
Cash flow from investing activities was negative EUR 1.2 million in the fourth
quarter of 2022, of which EUR 0.6 million was related to purchasing and building drones. EUR 0.6 million was related to intangibles, mainly the development of products and technology.
Cash flow from financing activities was positive EUR 1.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. This includes EUR 6.4 million in net proceeds from the issuance of new equity. Short-term interest-bearing debt related to the overdraft facility has significantly decreased by EUR 4.3 million.
*Financial results comparisons from the previous year referred to herein are pro-forma and give a good indication of changes in activity and revenue. However, the nature, size and structure of all business units are not comparable, and hence margin comparison gives limited value.
Nordun is a fully integrated BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line of Sight) Drone As A Service pure play airline, incorporating all functions required to deliver and operate complex drone missions with advanced platforms and sensors as a service to its customers. Customers receive full operational management, mission data and agile mission adjustment to support decision making. Nordun serves four markets: Maritime, Defense & Security, Offshore Energy and Rail for both governmental and private enterprise clients. The business unit has a fleet of 20+ drones, which is used to perform its contract portfolio. The fleet is divided into large tactical drones with weight between 45 - 200 kg and small lightweight drones with weight around 3 kg.
The fact that Nordic Unmanned holds a Light UAS Operator Certificate (LUC) allows the company to self-approve operations in the European Economic Area, replacing national regulations and procedures. Nordun has a significant track record flying the Camcopter from Schiebel and the Aerosonde from Textron.

Q4 is usually a low season for tactical BVLOS drone operations. Throughout the quarter, the services of Nordun have nevertheless been critical in guarding the lives of the many.
During the quarter, efficiency measures allowed the business to reduce the number of administrative FTEs by 10. Further efficiency measures have been identified and are implemented with effect from Q1 2023.
EMSA was once again the largest customer of Nordun in the quarter. Nordun performed work under the EMSA OP1, OP5, OP12 and OP46 contracts. Nordun performed simultaneous operations on the OP46 and OP10 contracts with EMSA. The OP10 contract

was the most significant source of revenue, with CAMCOPTER®-based BVLOS operations performed for Spanish and French maritime authorities related to emissions monitoring and maritime surveillance activities. The Spanish operations lasted as planned until late November, while the French operations ended as planned at the start of October.
The OP46 deployment in the Baltics for the Finnish and Estonian maritime authorities ended as planned in mid-October. Nordun performed maritime
surveillance with an extended coastal range in the Baltic Sea using the Aerosonde® fixed-wing platform produced by Textron Systems. This first-time fixedwing operation for Nordun successfully demonstrated this tactical drone system's cost-effectiveness and reliability in Nordic Unmanneds' multi-mission campaigns.
The activity level on the OP1/OP12 contracts was higher than in the previous quarter, with fisheries inspections, drills and installations of systems as the main activities.
The Nordic Unmanned crew demonstrated agility in the use of drone technology, further proving our ability to deploy bestfor-purpose-technology for any mission. The crew flew longer flights and achieved 307 CAMCOPTER® flight hours and 93 Aerosonde® flight hours, which represent a new capability in 2022.
Flights and flight hours
Revenue in the quarter ended at EUR 1.5 million, representing a 20% increase from Q4 2021, with the OP10 and OP46 contracts as the primary source of revenue. EBITDA was negative EUR 1.0 million, compared to a loss of EUR 1.2 million in Q4 2021.
For the full year, Nordun achieved revenue of EUR 9.7 million generated from activity on the Camcopter (EUR 5.9 million), Textron Aerosonde (EUR 2.4 million) and Light weight operations (EUR 1.4 million). EBITDA ended at negative EUR 2.3 million. In the first half of 2022, substantial efforts were put into training and obtaining full operational capability on the Aerosonde, contributing to a negative EBITDA contribution of EUR 1.9 million. The second half showed significant improvement in operational efficiency and utilisation of our fleet, and the EBITDA contribution ended at negative EUR 0.4 million.
The NUTech business unit is the owner of Nordic Unmanned's proprietary drone product and solutions portfolio. The current portfolio is designed, developed, and produced in European NATO countries. This includes the AirRobot product family developed and produced in Germany under AS9100 and ISO 9001 certifications, the DroneMatrix product family developed in Belgium, and the Staaker product family, developed in Norway. Technologies include UAV ('drones') as well as technology attachments such as the Heimdal sensor and is protected through several patents, including a patent for coaxial configuration.

Growth in NUTech is driven by increasing revenue from the MIKADO II project with the German Bundeswehr, recurring revenue from MRO and development activity on the MIKADO I contract, commencing of contracts in DroneMatrix, and from coax patent fees with several license contracts signed during the year.
Founded in 2003 in Arnsberg, Germany, AirRobot is a pioneer in the European drone industry. The company has since 2005 been a supplier to the German armed forces ("Bundeswehr") of both drone systems and Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul ("MRO") and development services. AirRobot became part of the Nordic Unmanned Group through an acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2021. Their drone system, the AR100-H is a system consisting of air vehicle sensors, power source, spare parts, ground control station and related software. Specially made for military and police applications.
Towards the end of the quarter, Nordic Unmanned UK Ltd announced that its customer Lockheed Martin UK Ltd had initiated the procurement of a large quantity of Heimdal sensors and software. The contract will cover the production and supply of sensors, maintenance and modifications related to the sensor, and other related work on the Lockheed Martin Indago 4 drone. The contract period is ten years, with expected revenue to exceed EUR 5 million in 2023. The first EUR 1.5 million call-off in December 2022 was related to the start of the contract. The contract work will primarily be delivered by AirRobot and Nordic Unmanned UK Ltd and may potentially double AirRobots's revenue in 2023 as compared to 2022.
AirRobot has in Q4 extended its contract of performing MRO services and spare parts supply related to the existing Bundeswehr fleet of MIKADO I drones. This contract has been in effect for ten years. The new contract is a multi-year extension with an expected value of up to EUR 3 million.
DroneMatrix, located in Hasselt, Belgium, is a European leader in fully autonomous drone-in-a-box solutions. Its main product is the YACOB drone which departs autonomously from a proprietary docking station inside a proprietary container and performs pre-programmed or piloted flights. The drone is suitable for continuous surveillance operations, inspection, mapping, and certain logistics operations and targets civilian and industrial applications. The combination of drone, box and proprietary software makes the DroneMatrix offering attractive for a range of use cases.
Port of Antwerp-Bruges has contracted DroneMatrix to install six drone-in-a-box systems. During the quarter, the company installed four of these six systems.
Furthermore, in the quarter, DroneMatrix won a nine-year frame agreement with InfraBel, Belgium's rail owner and operator. This contract will see multiple DroneMatrix systems installed for monitoring and security functions. The agreement includes service for the Yacob system and will see the first system delivered in Q1 2023.
Revenue ended at EUR 1.5 million, an 89% increase from Q4 2021. The revenue is mainly driven by the MIKADO II project with the German Bundeswehr, and maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services as well as an R&D project from AirRobot, but with increasing contribution also from DroneMatrix where the Port of Antwerp contract has commenced.
License fees from the coaxial configuration patent added another EUR 0.4 million in revenue towards the end of the quarter.
Gross margin ended at 65% and with an adjusted EBITDA of 0.3 million.
Inventory obsoleteness of EUR 0.4 million reduced EBITDA to EUR 0.1 negative. In addition, a write down related to parts of our Staaker product with in total 2.3 million had a negative for the quarter.
Full-year revenue ended at EUR 2.9 million, an increase of 101%, with a gross margin of 70 %, while EBITDA adjusted ended at negative EUR 0.2 million, compared to a profit of EUR 0.4 million in 2021. The second half of 2022 contributed with 70% of the revenue for the year and represents significant progress for the business unit as both AirRobot and DroneMatrix technologies are now generating sales.
Investment in own IP during the quarter was EUR 0.35 million.
As the world transitions to net zero and the emissions regulations are becoming stricter, there is an increased need for emissions measurements, reporting and verification services. Nordic Unmanned Maritime (NUMar) delivers emissions monitoring as a service and verification of greenhouse gas emissions. Through its subsidiaries Ecoxy and NUAer, NUMar serves industrial clients in the maritime industry globally with emissions data and insights, so that customers can make better environmental decisions.

The mission of NUAer is to support the acceleration of the green transition in the maritime industry through worldleadership control of marine air pollution. NUAer is the result of the JV between Nordic Unmanned and the Finnish company, Aeromon, a Finland-based developer of emission monitoring technology. The JV is strengthening Nordic Unmanned's emission monitoring service offering within the global maritime and offshore energy industry. NUAer is based in Sandnes, Norway.
NUAer got its commercial breakthrough in 2022, and the company has performed several projects demonstrating the concept and technology. Customers include Port of Turku and Equinor, where Nordic Unmanned partnered to deliver drone services. Following Schiebel's integration work adding the emissions
monitoring capability to the Camcopter, a successful test was carried out in the Gibraltar Strait in the fourth quarter.
Since its foundation in 2003, Ecoxy has performed accredited emission measurements on ships, platforms and rigs. They are measuring NOx, HC, CO, CO2, O2 and particles. The measurements are made in accordance with IMO NOx Technical Codes.
Ecoxy also delivers third-party verification of GHG emissions under the EU ETS legislation. They have been accredited (ISO 14065 and EU Regulation 600/2012) since 2014 and have carried out verifications of greenhouse gas emissions for several plants (about 30-40 plants per year). The plants are several types of industries and offshore.
The company was acquired by Nordic Unmanned in 2021. Ecoxy has completed
almost 1,300 measurement assignments and has a strong presence in marine and industrial industries in Norway Sweden and Denmark.
The company provides data intelligence and services within the Maritime focus area and complements the existing Nordic Unmanned offerings of emission monitoring by drone, to include verification and accreditation, which adds further customer value.
Ecoxy experienced high activity for accredited NOx measurements in Scandinavia throughout the 4th quarter, with 22 emission measurements. The company remains a leading provider of accredited NOx measurements and verification of GHG emissions.
For the fourth quarter, revenue for NUMar ended at EUR 0.4 million, equal to the same period last year. EBITDA ended at negative EUR 0.2 million (break-even in 2021). Ecoxy is the highest contributor with 90% of the revenue.
For the full year 2022, NUMar ended with a revenue of EUR 1.9 million in 2022, with an EBITDA of EUR 0.2 million representing an EBITDA margin of 11 %. Ecoxy remains the main contributor with a revenue of EUR 1.7 million representing an all-time high level and a 34% increase compared to 2021. EBITDA for Ecoxy ended at EUR 0.5 million representing an EBITDA margin of 25%. (EUR 0.4 million 25% margin in 2021)
NUGlobal is the global sales and distribution network of NUTech, and markets Nordic Unmanned's own products, solutions, and services, as well as managing the distributors and system integration activity and our reseller activity of third-party products. The business unit represents important OEM partners such as Lockheed Martin, Textron Systems and Sky Hero.

Nordic Unmanned expanded its global sales distribution network in the fourth quarter with the addition of the Caribbean. The North American office was established and is experiencing high activity and commercial traction on the drone-in-a-box solution from DroneMatrix and AR100-H from AirRobot
Tender activity was high, and towards the end of the quarter, Nordic Unmanned UK Ltd was instrumental in securing the TIQUILA award from Lockheed Martin UK Ltd. The contract work will primarily be delivered by AirRobot, and hence will
generate revenue also in other business units.
The fourth quarter ended with revenue of EUR 0.3 million, a 183% increase from the same quarter in 2021. The gross margin ended at 39%, with a negative EBITDA of EUR 0.3 million. An EUR 0.2 million one off cost related to a contract assets, reduced EBITDA to a loss of EUR 0.5 million.
Full-year revenue ended at EUR 2.1 million, representing a 92% growth compared to the full-year 2021. Full-year gross margin finished at 32%, and the EBITDA contribution was negative EUR 0.8 million.
Nordic Unmanned will enter 2023 with a simplified structure and clear market focus to secure profitable growth within the central business units.
The NUMar business unit will become a part of Nordun during Q1, representing the drone-as-a-service offered by Nordic Unmanned.
NUGlobal has developed to become a sales and distribution unit for the NUTech portfolio of products. Around 85% of the sales in 2023 are expected to be Nordic Unmanned proprietary products. NUGlobal will become a part of NUTech from a reporting point of view during Q1, with geographical subsidiaries able to serve both NUTech and Nordun in their respective markets.
In 2023, the focus will be on drone flight services (Nordun) and technology products (NUTech). The contracts awarded in the last half of 2022 provide a strong backlog for both segments' continuing strong and profitable growth in 2023.
Revenue target for the Group is EUR 30 million based on current and projected new contracts and current visibility based on actual purchase orders is 87%. Revenue generated from the high-margin NUTech portfolio is expected to account for more than 50% of the total revenue. This will improve the company's profitability significantly. The identified risk of not achieving the revenue expectation is mainly related to operational, production and to a minor degree, commercial risk.
The contract backlog for the Group is approximately EUR 89 million, where the OP5 contract and the TIQUILA awards have been added since last quarter. Contract backlog includes the maximum remaining estimated value of signed and/or awarded contracts. Annual utilization is based on call offs, contract estimates and client feedback.
The CRM pipeline of the Group is at EUR 1.3 billion, with EUR 67 million awaiting decision in the next six months, with the biggest opportunities being in the US market and urgent requests for drones due to the increased security focus in Europe. The value-adjusted win rate of the Nordic Unmanned Group is 53%. This number is based on 113 historical opportunities with value above EUR 200.000.
We will drive profitability through improved efficiency, utilization of crew and assets, reduction of operational costs and the next generation of BVLOS contracts with a rate increase.
The expected shift in technology product mix from reseller products only, to primarily sales and distribution of our own product portfolio will materially improve margins and profits.
Target EBITDA margin of approx. 10% for the full year, and accumulated breakeven from Q2.
Target cash positive from operations for the full year, accumulated breakeven in Q2.
Some of the main risks involved to reach these targets are:
Total flight hours for 2022 were approximately 3000, double that of 2021, using drone systems with sophisticated sensors for pollution monitoring, fishery control, and maritime and border surveillance. In 2023, the number of flight hours is expected to double again, with the OP46 contract with EMSA being the main contributor to revenue. An increase in missions using proprietary technology is expected in 2023. The operations center in Sandnes is expected to serve the growth in operations of the DroneMatrix Yacob drone-in-a-box product.
The backlog of Nordic Unmanned services is around EUR 58 million. Contract backlog is defined as the maximum remaining estimated value of signed and/or awarded contracts. Annual utilization is based on calloffs, contract estimates and client feedback.
The sale of proprietary drone technology from the AirRobot and DroneMatrix subsidiaries is expected to increase and match revenue from flight services in 2023.
Germany-based subsidiary AirRobot is expected to deliver the first batch of the AR-100H small reconnaissance system to the German Bundeswehr under the MIKADO II program in Q2 2023, following German military airworthiness certification. Once completed, the airworthiness certification will be the first of its kind for this drone type in NATO. The sensor and sensor software developed for the AR-100H is also currently being prepared for production for delivery to Lockheed Martin UK Ltd. The sensor will be integrated with the Lockheed Martin Indago 4 drone for inclusion in the 10-year TIQUILA drone program for the UK Ministry of Defense.
The backlog of the NUTech portfolio is around EUR 30 million.
Nordun is the world's first fully integrated BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line of Sight) drone as a service pure-play business unit, incorporating all functions required to operate complex drone missions with advanced platforms and sensors.
The previous maritime Data-As-A-Service (DaaS) business unit which includes the subsidiary NUAer and Ecoxy will be a part of the Nordun business unit going forward.

Nordic Unmanned ASA is a limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in Norway and whose shares are traded on the Euronext Growth market in Norway. The Group's head office is located at Rådhusgata 3, 4306 Sandnes, Norway.
Nordic Unmanned is a global leader of high-end products and services related to drones and data capture. Through world-wide operational experience and industry leading expertise, Nordic Unmanned supports large governmental and industrial clients in the adaptation of unmanned systems and services.
The Condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Nordic Unmanned ASA and its subsidiaries (collectively, "the Group" or "Nordic Unmanned") for the period ended 31 December 2022 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The interim financial statements do not include all information required by IFRSs and should be read in conjunction with the Group's 2021 annual financial statements which will be publicly available at www.nordicunmanned.com. The interim financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the dates and interim periods presented. Interim period results are not necessarily indicative of results of operations or cash flows for an annual period. These interim financial statements have not been subject to review or audit by independent auditors. These interim financial statements were authorised for issue by the Company Board of Directors on 23 February 2023.
The interim consolidated financial statements of the Group comprise consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of financial position, consolidated statement of cash flows, consolidated statement of changes in equity, and related notes. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the IASB and as endorsed by The European Union ("EU").
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value. The financial statements are prepared based on the going concern assumption.
Comparative financial information is provided for the preceding period in the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income and Consolidated statement of financial position.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Euros (EUR), which is also the functional currency of the parent company. The functional currency of the parent company was changed from NOK to EUR effective from 1 January 2022 as the primary economic environment was determined to be EUR from this date.
For presentation purposes, balance sheet items are translated from functional currency to presentation currency by using exchange rates at the reporting date. Items within total
comprehensive income are translated from functional currency to presentation currency by applying average exchange rates for the period. If currency rates are fluctuating significantly, transaction date exchange rates are applied for significant transactions.
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Group has generally concluded that it is the principal in its revenue arrangements, because it typically controls the goods or services before transferring them to the customer.
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised over-time to the extent the Group's performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Group and the Group has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. Progress is measured using a cost-to-cost based approach. Other sale of goods is recognised at the point-in-time when control of the asset is transferred to the customer. The determination of over-time versus point-in-time revenue recognition and determining progress requires the use of judgement.
