DOVRE GROUP'S FINANCIAL STATEMENT RELEASE 1.1.–31.12.2024:

The information presented in the report has not been audited.

Dovre Group Plc Financial Statement Release March 17, 2025, at 12:15 pm

Dovre Group Plc sold its entire Project Personnel business (PP) and Norwegian Consulting business to the Swedish NYAB AB on January 2, 2025. The deal was agreed conditionally on the authorization of the Dovre general meeting on November 20, 2024. The company's extraordinary general meeting decided on December 16, 2024, in accordance with the board's proposal, to approve the execution of the transaction, which took place on January 2, 2025.

In this review, Dovre presents the sold operations as operations classified for sale and discontinued in accordance with the IFRS 5 standard. Previous profit and loss statements have been adjusted accordingly. Previous balance sheets have not been adjusted, so they are not comparable with the consolidated balance sheet of December 31, 2024.

Of the previously reported operations, the Project Personnel business has been classified as a discontinued operation in its entirety as a result of the above-mentioned transaction. Therefore, the segment is no longer reported at all. The Group's Consulting business continues in Finland, but the segment is significantly smaller.

The profit accruing to the Group from the sale of businesses will be presented in the figures for the 2025 financial year on one line after the result of the continued businesses. Based on the preliminary purchase price (EUR 35.3 million as announced on January 2, 2025), the estimate of the profit accruing in the consolidated profit and loss statement, less the transaction costs, is approximately EUR 5.0 million. However, we would like to emphasize that the determination of the final purchase price is in progress at the time of signing these financial statements.

OUTLOOK FOR 2025

Dovre Group will release its outlook at the latest along with the trading statement for Q1 on April 29th, 2024. This is due to Suvic's sales cycle, which is incomplete and does not provide sufficient information for a reliable 2025 estimate as of today. In the future, the company may also present its outlook in whole or in part as a verbal description instead of numerical guidance.

ACTING CEO SANNA OUTA-OLLILA:

Year 2024 was a year of change for Dovre Group. The decision to sell the global Project Personnel business and the Norwegian consulting entity to NYAB AB was not only an event of exceptional scale but also a leap forward on the chosen strategy of the group. The transaction bolts Dovre strategically even tighter into renewable energy, particularly as a growth creator of its Nordic production. After the transaction completed in early January 2025, the core of Dovre Group consists of renewable energy construction company Suvic and project developer Renetec. Proha continues to develop its sophisticated project management solution, enabling its customers to succeed in cost control of complex project portfolios. eSite, provider of industrial virtual reality solutions, also stays part of Dovre Group going forward.

Our Renewable Energy segment demonstrated an exceptional growth in Net Sales (+ 37%), but experienced severe challenges in some of its deliveries. Challenges faced in three of their projects accumulated heavy operating losses for Suvic. A solar power plant construction project, started in 2023 in Finland, exceeded its cost budget considerably. Consequently, Dovre reported an additional 5.8-million-euro loss along with its guidance release in April 2024. Additionally, two wind farm projects started during the reporting period in Sweden resulted in a total estimated loss of 18.7 million euros for Suvic's Swedish subsidiary. The loss was booked entirely for the reporting year, even though the works continue into early spring of 2025. The main reasons driving the cost overrun in Sweden were delayed access to the site, challenges related to subcontracting and the impact of winter because of the delayed works.

The significant challenges encountered, particularly in new types of projects, have prompted a reevaluation and enhancement of management practices, project calculation, risk management, and project organization. Also, the executive management team of Suvic will be restructured to support strategic decision making and to ensure that essential project skills are better channeled into the operations. While we acknowledge the opportunities presented by growth driven by the green energy transition, we now approach the inherent risks of this business model with heightened scrutiny and control.

Founded in 2023, Renetec has continued to develop its well-curated portfolio of solar power plant projects. During the reporting period, the company successfully initiated the permitting process for several projects, which are expected to reach construction readiness during 2025.

For 2024, we are releasing our first full-scale corporate sustainability report, which details the group's policies, practices, and the impact of our business on nature and the communities in which we operate. Accountability and sustainability are integral to our daily operations, supporting both responsible and profitable business. For example, Suvic's innovative wind turbine foundation structure significantly reduces energy and material use, resulting in lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional designs. Similarly, eSite's industrial virtualization solution enables applications like the design and planning of production facility renovations without the need for on-site travel, further minimizing environmental impact.

As Dovre moves into 2025, it remains committed to its role as a leading builder of renewable energy. Large-scale projects are at the core of our operations, and we will continue to focus on their successful and profitable execution with a steady and pragmatic approach and further strengthening the company's core abilities.

An Extraordinary General Meeting was summoned due to the conditional transaction signed and announced on November 20, 2024, whereby Dovre sells its entire Project Personnel business and the Norwegian Consulting unit to NYAB AB for an estimated purchase price of EUR 34 million. The Board of Directors proposal to the General Meeting was to confirm and approve the business sale. It was also proposed to amend the Field of business in the Articles of Association to align with the fact that Dovre will no longer operate in the Project Personnel business after the transaction.

The General Meeting confirmed and approved the sale of the businesses and the related amendment of Articles of Association.

The minutes of the General Meetings are available on the Dovre Group website at www.dovregroup.com.

BUSINESS SEASONALITY

Dovre Group's Renewable Energy business has stronger seasonality due to the fact that most of its projects are carried out during the summer months. As the segments fixed costs spread evenly throughout the year, its operating profit is seasonally at its lowest in Q1 and at its highest in Q3.

The Consulting business is carried out more evenly during the year with limited seasonal variations.

SHORT-TERM RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

In the Renewable Energy segment, Suvic's operations are of a project nature, and project-related uncertainty is very essential in terms of risk management. The risk is managed, for instance when selecting the projects to be offered, by means of project analysis and contract reviews and by ensuring sufficient human resources for the projects. The use of subcontractors in various parts of the project work is typical, requiring enhanced supervision and increasing risks on schedule and profit margin. The projects also face external risk factors such as weather fluctuation and circumstances or changes observed in the natural environment, which may impose restrictions on activity in the area. In addition to this, wind and solar power park projects involve various contractual risks depending on the scope of work for each project. These risks are mainly managed as part of business management and with various guarantee and insurance arrangements. The client typically requires the contractor to provide bank or parent company guarantees covering the construction and warranty periods of the project.

Income for the Consulting segment is divided across stable software license revenues and project related revenues, and business risks are mainly related to possible changes in the operating conditions of customer organizations. Both Proha and eSite run a relatively stable business baseline, but their growth depends on the development investments and continuous business needs of players in the energy sector, infrastructure and manufacturing. The risk of declining demand is mitigated by enhancing the sales process and developing scalable business models.

Dovre Group holds a minority share in SaraRasa Bioindo Pte. Ltd, a company that produces pellets from wood residue. Bioindo's production unit is in Indonesia and is thus exposed to high country

Dovre Group holds a minority share in SENS Storage AB and Pyhäsalmi BESS Oy, project companies that develop an 85 MW Battery as an Energy Storage System (BESS) adjacent to the former Pyhäsalmi copper and zinc mine. This development project is part of Callio renewable energy consortium in Pyhäsalmi, which aims to implement also other energy projects in the area. Dovre Group Plc holds 45.0% of the shares of both companies.

The group's reporting currency is the euro. In terms of the group's operations, the most significant currencies are the euro and the Swedish crown. Although sales and similar expenses are mainly in the same currency, changes in exchange rates can affect not only the company's turnover but also the operating result. Foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities can also result in exchange rate gains or losses.

In addition to the above, the volatile geopolitical situation and uncertainties related to prices of construction material are also adding risk to our business.

OTHER EVENTS DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD

Two profit warnings

Dovre Group issued two profit warnings during the year: a negative one on 20 November 2024 and a negative one on 23 December 2024. The reason for both profit warnings was significant cost overruns in two wind farm projects in the Renewable Energy segment under construction in Sweden. The completion of both projects was delayed into 2025, and the estimated cost overrun was booked as a loss in 2024 in its entirety.

EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

Dovre Group completes the sale of its Project Personnel and Norwegian Consulting businesses to NYAB AB

Group has on January 2, 2025 completed the sale of its Project Personnel and Norwegian consulting businesses to NYAB AB in accordance with the conditional share sale and purchase agreement signed and announced on 20 November 2024. All conditions precedent to the completion of the transaction have been fulfilled. The preliminary purchase price paid on closing was approximately EUR 35.3 million.

Dovre's subsidiary Suvic Oy has signed a conditional EPC contract for the construction of a 100 megawatt-peak solar park in Finland

On January 8, 2025 Suvic announced the signing of a conditional contract for the construction of a 100 MWp solar park in Finland. The agreement is conditional upon the "Notice to Proceed" (NTP), expected in late February 2025. The value of the contract is approximately EUR 55 million.

Two profit warnings

Dovre Group has issued two profit warnings concerning the reporting period 2024. On February 3, 2025, the company raised the EBIT guidance when some Renewable Energy projects in Finland reported higher than expected revenues as well as profit. The considerable additional accumulation of loss from the projects in Sweden led to a negative profit warning on March 12, 2025.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS' PROPOSAL FOR DISTRIBUTION OF A DIVIDEND

On December 31, 2024, the parent company's distributable funds were EUR 16 951 447,40.

However, the Board of Directors considers the possibility to arrange an EGM in the autumn 2025 for dividend payment decision once the company's situation has clarified.

Project Personnel 16 025
Renewable Energy 3 265 3 265
Consulting 300 980
Total 3 565 20 270

The annual impairment test of all cash-generating units is performed at the end of the year 2024.

In testing, the carrying amount of a cash-generating unit is compared with its value in use, which is based on a calculation of its value in use. These calculations are based on management-approved plans covering a five-year period. The key variables used in the calculation are revenue growth and operating margin. The variables are based on past performance, the business area's market position, and growth potential in the business area's market. The discount rate is determined using a capital structure based on peer group balance sheets and financial statement information.

Based on testing, the recoverable amounts of all cash-generating units exceeded their carrying amounts and, therefore, no indications of impairment exist.

Key variables
2024 2023
Average growth in net sales, %

Consulting 3.4 1.3
Average EBIT, %

Renewable Energy 18.0 26.3
Consulting 23.0 24.8

The table below shows the sensitivity of the key assumptions at which the value in use is equal to the book value (with other parameters remaining unchanged).

EBIT %, %-unit, change
Renewable Energy -2.2
Consulting -10.6
Pre-tax discount rate, %-unit
Renewable Energy 62.2
Consulting 151.0

According to the sensitivity analysis, a significant deterioration in operating income could necessitate an impairment charge in Renewable Energy unit. In Renewable Energy, where the largest amount of goodwill resides, the threshold for an impairment charge has been calculated as a 2.2 percentage point reduction in operating income. In Consulting the reduction in operating income would need to be significantly more substantial. The threshold values for WACC in both Consulting and Renewable Energy are considerably high.

5. LEASES

Dovre Group's right-of-use assets comprise office lease agreements and construction equipment. Office lease agreements are included in the balance sheet item "Right-of-Use Assets, Buildings". Leased construction equipment is included in the balance sheet item "Right-of-Use Assets, Machinery and Equipment".

The majority of office leases are fixed-term agreements, and some of these agreements include an option to extend the agreement periodically. Dovre has assessed the use of the leases to determine whether the options of leases will be used. Contracts that are valid for an indefinite period with a notice period of 3 to 12 months have a probable lease term of 2 to 4 years.

Suvic Oy, a subsidiary of the Renewable Energy business area, also has leased construction equipment. The agreements are for a fixed period of 3 to 5 years.
