Solid profitability despite a tough European business climate in 2024 and strong growth ahead!
2024 was characterized by a tough business climate but with a strong focus on building up our order books for future growth. Despite decreasing revenue and a tough business climate in Europe, we delivered a 9% EBIT margin due to our asset light business model.
2024 was the first year for the new SKAKO, focused on the Vibration businesses. The first part of the year involved several activities to separate the two businesses and returning dividends to shareholders, an extraordinary payment of DKK 122m and the ordinary dividend of DKK 15m. The share price has reacted very positively to the focused SKAKO business and the expectations for the future. The share is trading at levels above the average share price before the sale of SKAKO Concrete.
2024 turned out to be a challenging year proving the value of strategically being exposed in different markets and different segments. The fastener segment, which is very exposed in the German market, started the year being hit by the slow demand from the car manufacturing- and the building industries. We expected the market to turn more positive in the second half of 2024, but this did not happen. Especially the fastener business saw an unexpected large decline in the last two months of the year.
The mineral business in Europe is developing slowly due to the higher interest rates in this capital-intensive industry. Despite this we grew revenue in Minerals with 10% since our customers made significant investments in Africa and in Europe many mineral processing plants decided to replace outdated machinery. SKAKO was fortunate to win two large orders with OCP in Morocco. We shall build parts of two new phosphate plants, identical to previous deliveries. The total order value is DKK 150m and the project will be delivered primarily in 2025 and 2026. This order will deliver strong revenue and EBIT growth in the coming 24 months.
SKAKO earlier identified the recycling business as a strong supplement to the existing portfolio. The acquisition of DARTEK at the end of 2019 gave access to new technologies for SKAKO. In combination with the experiences from the fastener and the mining segment, SKAKO is today capable of supplying multiple tailormade solutions to the recycling industry. This has proven to be very valuable in the growth efforts on new European markets in 2024, where projects have been delivered to new important reference customers. Recycling was unexpectedly impacted negatively by the hesitant market in the last two months of the year where some orders were pushed in to the new year and therefor ended with a decline in revenue of 3.5%. However, we still expect recycling to show strong growth in the coming years given our strong product portfolio and the strong macro societal trends.
2024 overall did not deliver the expected revenue growth and profitability. This was below our original guidance for 2024. However, we expect 2025 to show strong revenue growth of 30% -40% and EBIT to grow between 20% and 40%.
Thank you to all our shareholders and customers who believe in SKAKO and to all our dedicated employees around the world who worked hard in 2024 in a difficult European business climate. We look forward to deliver a strong growing business in 2025 and the years to come.

SKAKO Vibration has been actively operating in the Moroccan market since the early 2000s and has strengthened its presence by establishing a local subsidiary over a decade ago. This long-term commitment underscores the strategic importance of Morocco to SKAKO Vibration's business and its ambition to expand its footprint in North Africa.
Morocco is one of the most economically developed nations on the African continent, boasting an impressive average annual GDP growth rate of 5.1% over the last decade. A major factor contributing to this growth is its vast natural resources, particularly phosphate rock. The country holds an estimated 70% of the world's phosphate rock reserves, making it a dominant player in the global phosphate industry. These reserves are managed and exploited by the OCP Group (formerly known as "Office Chérifien des Phosphates"), a state-owned enterprise that plays a crucial role in the national economy. Recognizing the importance of modernizing and expanding its operations, OCP launched an ambitious five-year investment plan worth \$13 billion in 2023. This substantial investment aims to enhance production capacities, optimize transport logistics, and integrate sustainable practices into the phosphate extraction and processing chain.
One of the most significant challenges faced by mining companies worldwide is the transportation of large quantities of raw materials from extraction sites to processing facilities and export terminals. This challenge is particularly pronounced in Morocco, where phosphate mines are located inland, far from industrial processing centers and export hubs.
To address this issue, OCP has implemented an innovative and efficient transportation solution: a phosphate slurry pipeline system. In this process, raw phosphate is mixed with water to form a slurry, which is then transported through a network of pipelines that stretch across Moroccan territory. Upon reaching its destination—often hundreds of kilometers away—the phosphate slurry undergoes a dehydration process to revert it to a solid state, making it ready for further processing and export
SKAKO Vibration plays a critical role in the initial stage of this innovative transport system. The company provides specialized equipment designed to facilitate the dilution of phosphate before it is pumped into the pipeline system. SKAKO's high-performance technology ensures a smooth and efficient process, optimizing the consistency of the phosphate slurry and enhancing the overall effectiveness of the transportation system.

Example of SKAKO scrubbing equipment, currently operating in Morocco
Thanks to its extensive experience in phosphate processing, SKAKO Vibration has earned the trust of key industry players and secured significant contracts. In 2024, the company received two major orders to supply equipment for two additional scrubbing lines, representing a total contract value exceeding DKK 150 million.
Each scrubbing line is composed of two essential pieces of equipment:
This set of machines is integrated with advanced electronic components that allow precise control over their operation, ensuring maximum efficiency and reliability. The success of these new scrubbing lines will be based on the proven performance of a previous scrubbing line supplied by SKAKO in earlier years, which has demonstrated its effectiveness in phosphate processing.
The execution of this large-scale project is planned over the next two years. While initial development and preparation activities took place end of 2024, the most substantial impact on SKAKO Vibration's operations and revenue is expected to be realized in the following years as the scrubbing lines become fully operational.
With its advanced technological solutions, extensive experience, and strong local presence, SKAKO Vibration continues to be a key contributor to Morocco's phosphate industry. As the demand for high-quality phosphate processing solutions grows, SKAKO remains committed to delivering innovative and efficient systems to support OCP and other mining enterprises in achieving their long-term objectives.

SKAKO Vibration develops, designs, and sells equipment for the Recycling, Minerals, and Fasteners industries. Our engineering, assembly, and testing facilities are located in Faaborg (Denmark), Strasbourg (France), and San Sebastian (Spain). Our products are built on deep application expertise and proprietary technology.
With a flexible production model, SKAKO Vibration sources components both internally and from external suppliers. Our primary markets are the EU and North Africa, where we have branch offices, while we maintain a presence in the USA, South America, and Asia through partnerships with local companies.
We drive our success through a strong portfolio of high-quality products and a dynamic organization with extensive design and application know-how.
As a leading supplier of vibratory equipment, SKAKO Vibration provides cuttingedge solutions centered around vibration technology, which are integral to our customers' industrial processes.
In the Fasteners industry, we are the preferred partner in targeted markets, particularly among key players in Europe, Asia, and the US.
In the Minerals sector, we have a strong presence, notably in phosphate mining in North Africa and the construction industry in Europe.
Our recent focus has been on expanding in the Recycling sector, supported by our comprehensive product range dedicated to this industry. The acquisition of SKAKO Dartek at the end of 2019 has further strengthened our position.
Since the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, demand from the recycling industry has surged, driving sustained growth.
As waste recycling becomes increasingly crucial, we anticipate an accelerated growth trend in this market over the coming decades.
Consequently, we are developing a strategy based on our three core business segments, with Recycling and Minerals as the primary growth drivers. Our objective is to achieve at least 50% growth by the end of 2028 while maintaining an EBIT ratio of around 10%.

Our approach is to collaborate with key players in the Fasteners, Minerals, and Recycling industries, providing industrialsolutionsthat address major global transformations.
The Minerals industry is undergoing significant change, largely driven by the shift toward green growth.
On one hand, a global race for mineral resources is underway, as countries seek to secure essential materials like lithium, nickel, copper, and rare earth elements for the green transition. Recent crises have further highlighted the importance of securing supply chains for raw materials. These trends will drive increased investment in the sector in the coming years.
On the other hand, the construction and demolition material recycling sector is rapidly emerging as a key growth area, fueled by private investments and public incentives. Our highly reliable and efficient sorting and washing equipment plays a critical role in industrial processes within this sector.
The European automotive industry is currently facing economic challenges due to multiple factors:
These conditions have led to lower investment levels in the Fasteners industry, negatively impacting our sales in 2024. We anticipate stable revenue in this segment for 2025, followed by a rebound once market uncertainties subside. The demand for stronger, lighter, and more advanced fasteners remains high, necessitating future investments that will benefit SKAKO Vibration, given our strong reputation as a leading supplier in thisindustry.
Private sector investments in the Recycling industry has grown by more than 15% p.a. over the past five years, and this trend is expected to continue, especially in Europe, where ambitious circular economy policies are in place.
Given that our core sales network is based in Europe, where unified recycling regulations and initiatives exist, we are focusing our resources on expanding our presence in this market.
Leveraging the expertise of SKAKO Dartek and the broader group's knowledge in the Minerals and Fasteners industries, we are continuously developing a specialized product range tailored to the needs of Recycling companies:
• Controlled distribution: Our equipment ensures a smooth, uniform, and regulated material flow. 3
By capitalizing on these capabilities, SKAKO Vibration is well-positioned to drive innovation and growth in the Recycling sector while strengthening its leadership in Fasteners and Minerals.
1 Sorting is essential for the Recycling sector and all sorting techniques are used and complement each other in the industrial processes of this segment.
2Washing is one of the key operations in the recycling of construction & demolition materials and our long experience in the Minerals industry positions the company as one of the European leaders in this field.
3 Most sorting systems (optical or magnetic for example) need to be fed correctly and SKAKO Vibration has developed a remarkable know-how in this field, in particular thanks to the challenges posed by our customers of the Fastenerssector.

SKAKO runs a focused business based on vibration technology and advanced conveyer solutions. We operate with an asset light model based on substantial outsourcing to trusted partners, build up over years, increasing profitability.
At SKAKO we aim to make our customers' production flow;hassle-free, reliable, and sustainable. We use our know-how to define the industry and develop visionary sustainable and technology-based solutions.
Based on this model, we have established a comprehensive installed fleet of SKAKO machinery all over the world and we provide our customers with support, spares and retrofit, whenever needed. Providing continued value to our customers, partners, and shareholders.
The SKAKO asset light business model has proven to be sustainable, even under challenging conditions. Despite also being impacted by Covid-19, SKAKO succeeded in remaining profitable during the pandemic, and has since continued to grow, also despite tougher market conditions after the war in Ukraine.

The markets in which SKAKO operates, are solid to strong growth markets. The demand for building materials as well as industrial machinery has seen growth for decades, and there are currently no signs of long-term reduction of this growth.
In all segments, SKAKO has a large installed base of equipment which creates a constant sale of spare parts giving an attractive aftersales-share of 34%. And with a strong potential to expand the business into new market segments, we are convinced that the potential for future profitable growth is strong

It is our ambition to continuously deliver a strong dividend to our shareholders, while keeping a capital structure target of net debt to EBITDA of up to 2.5.

The market for Vibration in 2024 was impacted negatively by increasing uncertainty and slow macro -economic growth in Europe. Especially Fasteners was negatively impacted by a decline in activities in the automotive industry in Germany as well as the subdued European construction and building industry.
Despite the uncertain European market Minerals showed a strong growth of 10% in 2024 and is expected to accelerate this growth in 2025 due to the two contracts with OCP amounting of DKK 150m. Many resources were committed to bidding for these contracts and preparing for delivery of the projects in 2025 and 2026.
Previous years strong growth in Recycling turned into a slight decline in 2024 due to a more uncertain and hesitant market with some orders pushed into 2025 resulting in a large decline in Q4.
Despite decreasing revenue and a tough business climate in Europe SKAKO delivered an EBIT of DKK 21.2m and EBIT margin of around 9%. This shows the robustness of SKAKO's assets light business model.
The very strong order inflow in 2024 from the two OCP contracts will ensure strong growth in both revenue and EBIT in 2025 despite the uncertain European marked.
| REVENUE | FY2024 | FY2023 | Change | Q4 2024 | Q4 2023 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fasteners | 32,326 | 38,077 | -15.1% | 8,113 | 10,516 | -22.9% |
| Minerals | 109,549 | 99,187 | 10.4% | 27,769 | 34,296 | -19.0% |
| Recycling | 82,804 | 86,619 | -4.4% | 21,639 | 23,814 | -9.1% |
| Other | 12,759 | 24,277 | -47.4% | 2,985 | 2,271 | 31.4% |

Activity in the European automotive and construction industries developed more negatively than expected in the second half of the fourth quarter, which particularly affected the Fasteners customer segment. As a result, revenue for 2024 decreased by 4.3% driven by a 15% decline in Q4 2024. This was driven by a large decline in Fasteners of 15%, a decline of 4.4% in Recycling and decline in other of 47%. Minerals showed growth of 10% to some extent impacted by the OCP contract but also growth in other African countries due to significant investments from customers. In Europe, many mineral processing plants decided to replace outdated machinery, and our expertise in custom-made equipment was key to securing new orders.
The decrease in revenue was driven by a decline in plant sales of 7.5% while the more stable and more profitable aftersales increased by 2.6%.
Revenue for 2024 declined with 4.3% which was below our guidance of 8 November 2024 (expected revenue development in the range of -2% to 1%)
Order intake was DKK 378m, an increase of 59% compared to 2023 driven by the largest order ever of DKK 150m with OCP in Morocco.
Order backlog was DKK 203m compared to DKK 62m in 2023 equal to an increase of 227%.
Gross profit decreased by 2.5% to DKK 73m in 2024, compared to DKK 75m in 2023. The decrease was driven by lower revenue and an increase in gross profit margin of 0.6pp to 30.7% due to a higher share of aftersales with higher margins than plant sales.
Distribution costs increased with 9.1% mainly due to investments in the salesforce to enable future growth especially in Recycling. Administrative expenses declined with 3.4% despite salary increases of around 4%. This was due to employees participating in training courses with reimbursement due to low activity level, decrease in employees in administration and decrease in marketing expenses.
Operating profit before special items decreased by 14% to DKK 21.2m. This was driven by the decrease in revenue of 4.3%, and a decrease in margin of 1.0pp due to the investment in the salesforce to enable future growth.
The realized operating profit of DKK 21.2m is equal to the preliminary non-audited numbers communicated on 21 February 2025 but below the latest guidance of DKK 24-28m communicated on 8 November 2024.
Net financial items amounted to a cost of DKK 3.0m compared to DKK 3.3m in 2023 and consist mainly of interest income, interest expenses along with realized and unrealized foreign exchange losses.
The income tax expense for the year amounted to DKK 4.6m (2023: DKK 5.6m), corresponding to an effective tax rate of 25% since the tax rate in France and Spain is higher than in Denmark (2022: 29%).
Profit for the year before tax decreased by 5.9% to DKK 18.2m while profit for the year decreased by 1.3% to DKK 13.6m.
The finalization of the transaction for the divestment of the Concrete activities amounted to DKK 2.6m and was related to final re-payments and related transaction costs.
The result including discontinued operations amounted to DKK 11m compared to DKK 81m in 2023 where DKK 67.5m relates to discontinued activities.
SKAKO Group delivered a result before discontinued activities of DKK 13.6 compared to DKK 13.7 in 2023 and earnings per share decreased to DKK 3.5 in 2024 compared to DKK 26.3 in 2023 which was positively impacted by the divestment.
As of 31 December 2024, the Group's assets totalled DKK 232m compared to DKK 342m last year. The decrease in assets is primarily due to the proceeds in 2023 from the divestment of the Concrete activities which had not yet been distributed to shareholders.
Non-current assets increased by DKK 8m to DKK 63m, while current assets decreased with DKK 119m to DKK 169m due to the proceeds in 2023 from the divestment of the Concrete activities.
Net debt was DKK 37m compared to a positive net debt of DKK 137m in 2023. The large decrease in net debt is mainly due to the proceeds in 2023 from the divestment of the Concrete activities which was distributed to shareholders end of February 2024.
In 2024, return on invested capital amounted to 11.7% compared to 91.5% in 2023 which was impacted by the divestment of the Concrete activities.
Net working capital increased by DKK 25m compared to the year before. The increase is primarily due to a higher level of inventories to mitigate supply chain challenges and invoicing of the first payments from the OCP projects at the end of Q4 2024 giving higher trade receivables.
Cash flow from operating activities amounted to DKK (24)m compared to DKK 96m for 2023 which included proceeds from divestment of the Concrete activities. The negative cash flow in 2024 was driven by the increase in net working capital by DKK 24m.
Net interest bearing debt / EBITDA was 1.3 compared to negative 4.7 in 2023 which was impacted by the proceeds from the divestment of the Concrete activities since these had not yet been distributed to shareholders at the end of 2023. The gearing level is well below our gearing target of up to 2.5 and shows that SKAKO has financial capacity to pay out dividends in the future and to pursue acquisitions according to our strategy.
The Group's equity was DKK 87m on 31 December 2024 (DKK 215m on 31 December 2022) matching an equity ratio of 37.7% (62.8% on 31 December 2023). The change in equity is mainly due to profit for the year of DKK 11.0m deducted by ordinary and extraordinary dividends in 2024 where more than DKK 137m was distributed to shareholders.
Based on the results in 2024 and capital structure of SKAKO A/S as of 31 December 2024, the Board of Directors recommends a dividend distribution of DKK 2.5 per share (2023: DKK 5 per share) corresponding to 72% of profit for the year before discontinued activities and a total dividend distribution of DKK 7.9m. With a share price of DKK 81.2 as of 31 December 2023, this corresponds to a dividend yield of 3.1%.

In February 2024, an extraordinary dividend of DKK 39.3 per share was paid to shareholders following the divestment of the Concrete activities.
The result before interest and tax in the Parent company amounts to a profit of DKK 10.9m. The profit comes from merger of subsidiaries whereas the costs primarily come from remuneration of the Board of Directors and costs for warrants .
There have been no events that materially affect the assessment of this Annual Report 2024 after the balance sheet date and up to today.

Despite the uncertain marked conditions in Europe, strong growth in both revenue and operating profit (EBIT) is expected due to the two major contracts with OCP in Morocco. The development in the order backlog has been positive with an increase of 227% compared to the previous year.
Guidance for 2025 is:
As a result of the geopolitical turmoil and uncertain marked conditions in Europe, expectations are subject to a higher than usual degree of uncertainty.

SKAKO strives to operate its business in a responsible manner and wants to comply with the legislation in all the countries where operations are conducted. Furthermore, compliance with Human Rights and consideration for the environment are considerable focus areas for the Group. SKAKO's work with corporate social responsibility is based on value creation and risk management.
SKAKO has chosen to focus its work on social responsibility within five areas: Environment, human rights, working environment, anti-corruption, and equality.
The policies below have been approved by the Board of Directors.
For a description of SKAKOs strategy and business model please see section 1.5.
SKAKO seeks to reduce its impact on the environment by reducing energy consumption year by year. The Group is a know-how and engineering company with production of key components. The production mainly consists of assembling and testing and does not include energy-demanding or polluting processes. All surface treatment processes are outsourced to sub-suppliers. A part of SKAKO's supplier "Code of Conduct" addresses impact on the environment. See under Human rights for more information about the supplier "Code of Conduct".
Furthermore, SKAKO has taken measures to reduce its energy consumption by, for example, installing LED lighting in its facilities and installing solar roof panels.
SKAKO will reduce consumption of kWh year by year in its production sites.
KPI
Consumed kWh in production sites.
SKAKO realized 2.2% higher consumption of kWh in 2024 compared to the goal of 506,000 kWh. In 2024 we had the full year effect of solar collectors in France. In France, the production of electricity based on the solar collectors was much higher than the use of electricity.

The SKAKO Group aims to lower the consumption of kWh year by year even though the business is expected to grow.
It is not possible to decrease energy consumption fast enough due to high growth in activities.
Our employees are our most valuable asset and key to providing high-quality products and services to our customers. It is vital to SKAKO's future success that SKAKO is a safe, motivating and developing place to work.

To SKAKO, respect of human rights is about the company's own employees' conditions and securing that suppliers and sub-suppliers deliver services to the Group in a way that considers their employees' rights including safety and health.
SKAKO has formulated a Supplier "Code of Conduct" that specifies principles we expect our supplier to follow. This ensures that suppliers and their suppliers produce and deliver their services to the Group in a way that considers the environment and the employees' rights.
The part of our main suppliersthat have signed our supplier "Code of Conduct".
SKAKO has not reached the goal of having all suppliers sign our code of conduct. This will be another target in 2025 and forward. Code of Conduct for SKAKO Group is currently being revised and will be launched in summer 2025.

Lack of transparency in compliance with SKAKOs Supplier "Code of Conduct".
At SKAKO A/S we believe that a diverse and tolerant organization makes the company stronger, increases the competitiveness and creates a good and innovative working environment. We want to develop and benefit from the total potential of all employees and that all employees can develop their full potential in balance between working life and private life. Therefore, no discrimination based on gender, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, etc. is tolerated in SKAKO. When recruiting members to the SKAKO management team, we are convinced that diversity will add value to the company.
To make sure all employees and management in SKAKO comply with SKAKOs policies of tolerance and inclusion, we have established an Employee "Code of Conduct" e-learning that describes the way SKAKO expects all its employees to act in accordance with our policies, and laws and regulations.
The goal for 2025: 100% of SKAKO employees have to pass the SKAKO Employee Code of Conduct e-learning.

At SKAKO A/S we are acting with responsibility, when it comes to data ethics. This applies to all data, i.e. business intelligence data, employee information and supplier/ customer information. We have defined eight basic principles of working with data:
| Welfare: | Data on society, democracy and social relations are treated with respect. |
|---|---|
| Dignity: | Treatment of data may not be used to harm an individual. |
| Privacy: | Any data treatment shall respect privacy and personal data shall be protected. It should always be considered what data are necessary and what are the sources of the data. |
| Own rights: |
The individual should always have the right to obtain information on what data are stored and know for what purpose the data are intended. |
| Equality: ethnicity, disability |
Treatment of data may not discriminate with regards to sexuality, sex, political opinions, religion, generical data, or other health related information. |
| Justice: | Treatment of data is performed with responsibility to local legislation. |
| Data security: |
Treatment of data shall be sufficiently safe, robust and reliable. Data shall be stored and shared in way that unintended availability for unauthorized use is impossible. |
| Responsibility: | SKAKO is responsible for data collected, stored and distributed by SKAKO. |
| Actions | |
| 1. 2. |
Continuously communicate the basic principles of data ethics to SKAKO staff. Implement annual review of data stored in CRM system. |
First and foremost, risk management activities in the SKAKO Group focus on financial risks to which the Company is fairly likely to be exposed. In connection with the preparation of the Group's strategic, budgetary and annual plans, the Board of Directors considersthe risksidentified in these activities.
Financial risk management concentrates on identifying risks in respect of exchange rates, credit and liquidity with a view to protecting the Group against potential losses and ensuring that Management's forecasts for the current year are only to a limited extent affected by changes or events in the surrounding world – be the changes in exchange rates or in interest rates. It is Group policy to exclusively hedge financial risks arising from our commercial activities and not to undertake any financial transactions of a speculative nature.
With more than 90% of the Group's sales being invoiced in DKK and EUR currencies, reported revenue is only limited affected by movements in the Group's trading currencies.
The Group's credit risks relate primarily to trade receivables. For large projects we have a signed Letter of Credit from the customer's bank before we undertake any work. Our remaining customer base is fragmented so credit risks in general only lead to minor losses on individual customers. Overall, we therefore estimate that we have no major credit exposure on Group level. With the two large orders with OCP in Morocco of DKK 150m the credit risk exposure on one single customer is higher than previously seen. This risk is mitigated through letter of credit for more than 80% of the payments and customary downpayments. Historically SKAKO has not had any credit losses with this customer. However late payment of invoices from countriesin North Africa is often seen.
The Group aims at having sufficient cash resources to be able to take appropriate steps in case of unforeseen fluctuations in cash outflows. With higher uncertainty regarding the timing of payments from OCP there is a risk that we see higher fluctuations in our liquidity. These fluctuations will be mitigated through suitable
undrawn credit facilities.
SKAKO has established and maintains an internal control setup that supports correct and timely reporting to Management and Market. The responsibility of maintaining sufficient and efficient internal control and risk management in connection with financial reporting lies with the Executive Board. The Board of Directors has assessed the Group's existing control environment and concluded thatit is adequate and that there is no need forsetting up an internal auditfunction.
Once every quarter we carry through a detailed planning and forecast process, and any deviations from the plans and budgets are carefully monitored. Furthermore, we perform weekly, monthly and quarterly reviews and assessments of all large projects.
Page 33
Management continuously seeks to minimize any financial consequences of damage to corporate assets including any operating losses resulting from such damage . We have invested in security and surveillance systems to prevent damage and to minimize such damage, should it arise . Major risks, which cannot be adequately minimized, are identified by the Company's Management, who will ensure that appropriate insurance policies are, on a continuous basis, established under the Group ' s global insurance program administered by recognized and credit rated insurance brokers and that such insurances are taken out with insurance companies with high credit ratings . The Group's insurance program has deductible clauses in line with normal market terms . The Board of Directors reviews the Company's insurance policies once a year including the coverage of identified risks and is briefed regularly on developments in identified risks . The purpose of this reporting is to keep the Board members fully updated and to facilitate corrective action to minimize any such risks .
Management continuously monitors market conditions and maintains close relations to significant customers in order to be able to make a timely response in light of changing circumstances . Monitoring of consequences regarding the Corona virus falls under this category, as well as geopolitical risks such as the current Ukraine war, inflation and increasing interest rates .
SKAKO maintains and enforces an IT safety policy to reduce risks from cyber crime . Furthermore, SKAKO has implemented an IT contingency plan based on recommendations from the Danish Data Protection Agency and other recommended authorities regarding cyber security . SKAKO's head of IT operations oversees monitoring and enforcing of the IT contingency plan .
The Company continuously executes projects across the world, and in some cases faces challenges in the execution . Management continuously monitors project execution to identify possible risks as early as possible . Furthermore, projects are actively distributed among project managers to ensure that the most experienced managers execute the most complex projects . Due to execution of the two large orders with OCP in Morocco this risk is higher than normal . However, the risk should be manageable since SKAKO has executed similar projectsin Morocco before .

3.4
Corporate
As a listed company on 31 December 2024, SKAKO observes the ´Recommendations on Corporate Governance´ (issued in November 2017 and updated in December 2020) implemented by Nasdaq Copenhagen in its ´Rules for issuers of shares´. The ´Recommendations on Corporate Governance´ contain 40 recommendations and are based on the comply-or-explain principle, which makes it legitimate for a company to explain why it does not comply with them. SKAKO fully complies with 38 of the 40 recommendations, and partially complies with one, and therefore complies with the ´Recommendations on Corporate Governance´ in all material respects.
A complete schematic presentation of the recommendations and how we comply, Statutory report on corporate governance, cf. section 107 b of the Danish Financial Statements Act, is available on our website under Investor Relations. https://skako.com/about/investor-relations/ (in the Master Data section)
We find it relevant to highlight a number of aspects and supplementary information on corporate governance in the SKAKO Group in this chapter.
SKAKO has not established a nomination or a remuneration committee. Given the size of SKAKO, the Board of Directors finds it most suitable that the total Board of Directors takes care of the tasks.
The Company's Board of Directors has set up an audit committee. The Board of Directors appoints the chairman of the Audit Committee, who must be independent and who must not be Chairman of the Board of Directors.
According to its charter, the Audit Committee, among other things, assists the Board of Directors in relation to internal accounting and financial control systems, the integrity of the company's financial reports and engagements with external auditors. The audit committee also carries out ongoing assessments of the company's financial and business risks. The audit committee has also a special focus on the divestment of Concrete activities.
In 2024, the committee reviewed the main accounting principles, tax strategy and compliance and key risks, etc.
In 2024, the Audit Committee held four meetings.
The Company has formulated remuneration policies for the Board of Directors and Executive Management. The policies were approved on the general assembly 28 April 2021.
The policies are available on our website under Investor Relations.
Furthermore, the Company has produced a remuneration report for the Board of Directors and Executive Management.
The report is available on our website under Investor Relations.

To the shareholders of SKAKO A/S
In our opinion, the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Parent Company Financial Statements give a true and fair view of the Group's and the Parent Company's financial position at 31 December 2024 and of the results of the Group's and the Parent Company's operations and cash flows for the financial year 1 January to 31 December 2024 in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU and further requirements in the Danish Financial Statements Act.
Our opinion is consistent with our Auditor's Long-form Report to the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors.
The Consolidated Financial Statements and Parent Company Financial Statements of SKAKO A/S for the financial year 1 January to 31 December 2024 comprise income statement and statement of comprehensive income, balance sheet, cash flow statement, statement of changes in equity and notes, including material accounting policy information for the Group as well as for the Parent Company. Collectively referred to as the "Financial Statements".
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark. Our responsibilities under those standards and requirements 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 Group in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) and the additional ethical requirements applicable in Denmark. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code.
To the best of our knowledge and belief, prohibited non-audit services referred to in Article 5(1) of Regulation (EU) No 537/2014 were not provided.
We were first appointed auditors of SKAKO A/S on 26 April 2012 for the financial year 2012. We have been reappointed annually by shareholder resolution for a total period of uninterrupted engagement of 13 years including the financial year 2024. We were reappointed following a tendering procedure at the General Meeting on 19 April 2022.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the Financial Statements for 2024. 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.
Revenue from plant customer contracts is recognised over time. The proportion of revenue to be recognised in a particular period is calculated according to the percentage of completion of the plant project. This is measured by reference to the costs of performing the contract incurred up to the relevant balance sheet date as a percentage of the total estimated costs of performing the contract.
Contract assets amounted to DKK 36 million (2023: DKK 38 million) net and contract liabilities amounted to DKK 1 million (2023: DKK 3 million) net.
Recognition of the Group's revenue involves a high degree of subjectivity in determining significant assumptions for the total estimated costs of plant projects.
We focused on this area, as recognition of revenue involves judgements made by Management originating from percentage of completion and estimated cost to completion of plant projects.
Reference is made to note 1 and 17.
At 31 December 2024, the Group has recognised deferred tax assets of DKK 10 million (2023: DKK 10 million).
Management is required to exercise considerable judgement when determining the appropriate amount to capitalise in respect of deferred tax.
We focused on this area as the amounts involved are significant and the valuation of tax assets is dependent on highly subjective assumptions on budgeted taxable income for the coming years.
Reference is made to note 15.
We considered the appropriateness of the Group's accounting policies for revenue recognition and assessed compliance with applicable accounting standards.
We performed risk assessment procedures with the purpose of achieving an understanding of it-systems, procedures and relevant controls relating to revenue recognition from customer contracts. In respect of controls, we assessed whether these were designed and implemented effectively to address the risk of material misstatement.
We performed substantive procedures over input data from contracts and costs charged to plant projects.
We assessed Management's estimated cost to completion and contribution margin for customer contracts in order to evaluate the valuation of customer contracts and recognised revenue.
We performed a retrospective analysis of Management's ability to assess the cost to completion and expected contribution margin in prior years.
We tested Management's estimated percentage of completion by assessing subsequent development in costs allocated to the plant projects and Management's updated estimates for cost to completion and contribution margin.
We evaluated Management's method for estimating the deferred tax assets.
In understanding and evaluating Management's method and assumptions we performed a retrospective analysis of Management's ability to budget the taxable income in prior years.
Further, we examined the Group's budgets and projections for the coming years including significant assumptions.
We evaluated and challenged the adequacy of the significant assumptions determined by Management in developing the accounting estimate.
Management is responsible for Management's Review .
Our opinion on the Financial Statements does not cover Management's Review, and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon .
In connection with our audit of the Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read Management's Review and, in doing so, consider whether Management's Review is materially inconsistent with the Financial Statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated .
Moreover, we considered whether Management's Review includes the disclosures required by the Danish Financial Statements Act .
Based on the work we have performed, in our view, Management's Review is in accordance with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Parent Company Financial Statements and has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Danish Financial Statements Act . We did not identify any material misstatement in Management's Review .
Management is responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements and parent company financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU and further requirements in the Danish Financial Statements Act, and for such internal control as Management determines 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, Management is responsible for assessing the Group's and the Parent Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless Management either intends to liquidate the Group or the Parent Company or to cease operations, or has 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 ISAs and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark 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 ISAs and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
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, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.
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.
As part of our audit of the Financial Statements we performed procedures to express an opinion on whether the annual report of SKAKO A/S for the financial year 1 January to 31 December 2024 with the filename 529900WNR3U8C847AW24-2024-12-31-en.zip is prepared, in all material respects, in compliance with the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/815 on the European Single Electronic Format (ESEF Regulation) which includes requirements related to the preparation of the annual report in XHTML format and iXBRL tagging of the Consolidated Financial Statements including notes.
Management is responsible for preparing an annual report that complies with the ESEF Regulation. This responsibility includes:
Our responsibility is to obtain reasonable assurance on whether the annual report is prepared, in all material respects, in compliance with the ESEF Regulation based on the evidence we have obtained, and to issue a report that includes our opinion. The nature, timing and extent of procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material departures from the requirements set out in the ESEF Regulation, whether due to fraud or error. The procedures include:
In our opinion, the annual report of SKAKO A/S for the financial year 1 January to 31 December 2024 with the file name 529900WNR3U8C847AW24-2024-12-31 en.zip is prepared, in all material respects, in compliance with the ESEF Regulation.

Revenue is recognized over time when an asset on behalf of a customer is created with no alternative use and SKAKO has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed year to date, or the customer obtains control of a plant or product and thus has the ability to direct the use and obtain the benefit from the plant or product.
Terms of payment are depending on conditions in the specific market. Plant sales orders are in general agreed with prepayment and payment milestones.
Plant sales are negotiated contracts to design and install concrete batching plants, and vibratory feeding, conveying and screening equipment for customers. Revenue will be recognized over time, as the above criteria are met, using "the percentage of completion method".
The proportion of revenue to be recognized in a particular period is calculated according to the percentage of completion of the project. For most contracts this is measured by reference to the costs of performing the contract incurred up to the relevant balance sheet date as a percentage of the total estimated costs of performing the contract. Reference to cost is assessed to be the most appropriate method as incurred hours and material costs are the value drivers for the projects. The sales value agreed in the contract is recognized over the contract period using above method.
Contracts where the recognized revenue from the work performed exceeds progress billings are recognized in the balance sheet under assets
Contracts for which progress billings exceed the revenue are recognized under liabilities. Prepayments from customers are recognized under liabilities.
If it is likely that the total costs in relation to a construction contract will exceed the total revenue on a specific project, the expected loss is recognized immediately in the income statement in the current period.
SKAKO sell a range of spare parts and products as aftersales to the plant sales. Revenue is recognized when control of the products has transferred, being when the products are delivered to the customer. Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped to the specific location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer, and SKAKO has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been fulfilled.
Revenue from the service contracts is recognized in the period in which the services are provided based on amounts billable to a customer. Revenue is recognized based on usage of units, and price lists according to the contract.
The order backlog represents the value of outstanding performance obligations on effective contracts, where we will transfer control at a future point in time and the remaining performance obligations on contracts where we transfer control over time.

Assessments regarding contracts with customers is performed when determining if a contract for sale of a plant, spare parts or service, or a combination hereof, involves one or more performance obligations.
Assessments regarding recognition method are made when determining if a contract for sale of a plant, spare parts or service is recognized as revenue over time or at a point in time. The assessments relate to whether we have an alternative use of the assets sold and if we have an enforceable right to payment throughout the contractual term.
When assessing if an asset has no alternative use, we estimate the alternative use cost amount. We have limited historical data as we rarely redirect our assets. The estimate is based on the specifics of each contract. When assessing if we are entitled to payment throughout the contract term, an assessment is made based on the contract wording, legal entitlement and profit estimates.

Total expected costs related to plant sales are partly based on estimates as they include provisions for unforeseen cost deviations in future supplies of raw materials, subcontractor products and services plus construction
and handing over. Provisions for warranties on work-in-progress for third parties are based on Management estimates for each project while taking contract obligations into account.

Production costs are costs incurred to generate revenue. Production costs consist of raw materials, consumables, production staff, research and development cost as well as maintenance of and depreciation, amortisation and impairment losses on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets used in the production process.
Research costs are always recognized in the Income Statement in step with the incurrence of such costs. Development costs include all costs not satisfying the capitalization criteria, but incurred in connection with development, prototype construction and development of new business concepts.
Direct and indirect research and development incentives in terms of tax incentives and other grants and subsidy schemes for research and development are recognized when there is reasonable certainty that the conditions for such grants are satisfied and that they will be awarded. Grants are offset against research and development costs.
The measurement and classification of government grants related to research and development is based on Management's assessment. The incentive schemes applied do not require positive taxable income and hence government grants received have been accounted for in accordance with IAS 20.

The Executive Management have been granted warrants to subscribe for shares in the company, cf. note 5.
The Executive Management contracts are based on normal conditions.
during the transaction and divestment of SKAKO Concrete activities
Plans classified as equity-settled warrants are measured at fair value at grant date and are recognized in the income statement as staff costs in the period in which the final entitlement to the warrantsis attained (the vesting period), as well as an inflow directly in equity.
In connection with initial recognition of warrants, an estimate is made of the number of warrants to which Group Executive Management and key staff are expected to become entitled. Subsequent adjustment is made for changes in the estimate of the number of warrant entitlements, so the total recognition is based on the actual number of warrant entitlements.
The fair value of the warrants allocated is estimated by means of the Monte Carlo model. The calculation takes into account the terms and conditions under which the share warrants are allocated.
In 2021, the Executive Management and other key employees in the Group have been granted warrants to purchase a total of 150,000 shares in the company at a set price (strike price). The share-based programme has vesting conditions under which Management must stay employed for three years to receive the remuneration. The following exercise period runs for two years.
In 2024, the Executive Management and other key employees in the Group have been granted warrants to purchase a total of 30,000 shares in the company at a set price (strike price). The share-based programme has vesting conditions under which Management must stay employed for three years to receive the remuneration. The following exercise period runs for two years.

On initial recognition, goodwill is recognized and measured as the difference between the purchase price – including the value of noncontrolling interests in the acquired enterprise and the fair value of any existing investment in the acquired enterprise – and the fair values of the acquired assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities. Please refer to Accounting policies in Note 26.
On recognition, goodwill is allocated to corporate activities that generate independent payments (cash generating units). The definition of a cashgenerating unit is in line with the Group's managerial structure as well as the internal financial management reporting.
SKAKO goodwill relates to SKAKO Dartek and goodwill is monitored as in previous years. Impairment test of goodwill are based on calculated capital value of the single unit, based on five-year business plans as well as a calculated terminal value that compared with carrying amount of the tested assets.
The main assumptions of the business plans of the individual CGUs are linked to SKAKO's expected growth and earnings over a number of years, and the applied gross profit margins and costs are based on management's expectations.
Intangible assets with a finite useful life are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least once a year. If the recoverable amount of a cash-generating unit is lower than the carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets including goodwill, attributable to the particular cash generating unit, the particular assets will be written down.
Development projects for which the technical rate of utilization, sufficient resources and a potential future market or application in the Group can be demonstrated and which are intended to be manufactured, marketed or used are recognized as completed development projects. This requires that the cost can be determined, and it is sufficiently certain that the future earnings or the net selling price will cover production, sales and administrative costs plus the development costs. Other development costs are recognized in the income statement when the costs are incurred. Development costs consist of salaries and other costs that are directly attributable to development activities.
Amortization of completed development projects is charged on a straightline basis during their estimated useful life. Development projects are written down for impairment to recoverable amount, if lower. Development projectsin progress are tested for impairment once a year.
The amortization profile is systematically based on the expected useful life of the assets, taking into account the remaining agreement period and consumption (unit of production method) at the time of implementation. The basis of amortization is reduced by impairment, if any.
Amortization takes place systematically over the estimated useful life of the assets which is as follows:

Impairment testing is carried out annually on preparation of the annual report or on indication of impairment in which discounted values of future cash flows are compared with carrying amounts. The calculations use cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by Management covering a five-year period.
Cash flows beyond the five-year period are extrapolated using growth rates estimated by Management.

The carrying amount of goodwill related to SKAKO Dartek, DKK 22,295.
The recoverable amount determined in the impairment test is based on a value-in-use calculation. To determine the value-in-use, management is required to estimate the present value of the future free net cash flow based on budgets and strategy for the coming five years as well as projections for the terminal period. Significant parameters in the estimate of the present value are discount rate, revenue growth, EBIT margin, expected investments and growth expectations for the terminal period.
The discount rate is determined to reflect the risks. The discount rate applied is the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) and reflects the latest market assumptions for the cost of equity and the cost of debt. The discount rate used amounts to 10.0% before tax and estimates for future revenue growth (2023: 10.0% before tax). The uncertainties associated with these expectations are reflected in the cash flow.
The expected annual growth rate and the expected margins in the budget period are based on historical experience and the assumptions about expected market developments. The long-term growth rate for the terminal period is based on the expected growth in the world economy, specifically for the industries. The valuation method is based on annual revenue growth of 2% in 2025 to 2029 as well as in the terminal period (2023: 2%). Investments reflect both maintenance and expectations of organic growth.
Over the next five years, the EBIT margin is expected at stable at the current level around 10% (2023: 10%).
Based on current assumptions we see no impairment indications, and our key assumptions are not sensitive to reasonable changes to an extent that will result in an impairment loss neither individually or in combination. For example, a lowering of perpetual growth to zero and increasing the discount rate by two percentage points will not lead to impairment. Similarly, a decrease in EBIT by 20% in combination with an increase in investments as a percentage of revenue by 1 percentage points will not lead to impairment.
A sensitivity analysis has not been carried out, as negative changes in the fundamental assumption, which will result in impairment of goodwill, are considered unlikely to become a reality.

Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments:
The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate for implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be readily determined, which is generally the case for leasesin the Group., the lessee'sincremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the individual lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment with similar terms, security and conditions.
Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:
Right-of-use assets are generally depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis. While the Group revalues its land and buildings that are presented within property, plant and equipment, it has chosen not to do so for the right-of-use buildings held by the Group.
Payments associated with short-term leases of equipment and vehicles and all leases of low-value assets are recognized on a straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases are leased with a lease term of 12 months or less. Low-value assets comprise IT equipment and small items of office furniture.

Deferred tax is calculated using the balance sheet liability method on temporary differences between the carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is calculated based on the applicable tax rates for the individual financial years. The effect of changes in the tax rates is stated in the income statement unless they are items previously entered in the statement of other comprehensive income.
A deferred tax provision is made to cover re-taxation of losses in foreign enterprises if shares in the enterprises concerned are likely to be sold and to cover expected additional future tax liabilities related to financial year or previous years. No deferred tax liabilities regarding investments in subsidiaries are recognized if the shares are unlikely to be sold in the short term.
The tax value of losses that are expected with adequate certainty to be available for utilization against future taxable income in the
same legal tax unit and jurisdiction is included in the measurement of deferred tax.
SKAKO A/S is jointly taxed with all Danish subsidiaries, SKAKO A/S being the administrator of the Danish joint taxation.
All the Danish subsidiaries provide for the Danish tax based on the current rules with full distribution. Recognition of deferred tax assets and tax liabilities is made in the individual Danish enterprises based on the principles described above. The jointly taxed Danish enterprises are included in the Danish tax payable on account scheme.
If companies in the Group have deferred tax liabilities, they are valued independently of the time when the tax, if any, becomes payable.

Deferred tax assets, including the tax value of tax losses allowed for carry forward, are recognized in the balance sheet at the estimated realisable value of such assets, either by a set-off against a deferred tax liability or by a net asset to be set off against future positive taxable income. At the balance sheet date, an assessment is made as to whether it is probable that sufficient taxable income will be available in the future against which the deferred tax asset can be utilized. Deferred tax on temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax values of investments in subsidiaries is recognized unless the Parent is able to control the time of realization of such deferred tax, and it is probable that such deferred tax will not be realized as current tax in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax is recognized in respect of eliminations of intra-Group profits and losses.

Tax losses carried forward are not subject to time limitation. All recognized deferred tax assets are expected to be offset against positive taxable income within a five-year period. Recognition is based on current results and Management's expectations for the future. The deferred tax assets are evaluated in each tax jurisdiction in the SKAKO Group, consisting of joint taxationsin respectively Denmark, France, Germany, Spain and the UK.
Management has performed a sensitivity analysis on expectations for the future. This shows that a 10 % decrease compared to expectations will result in a decrease of DKK 1.3m in the recognized deferred tax assets. Because the deferred tax assets are evaluated in each tax jurisdiction, the sensitivity cannot be applied on a linear basis.

Raw materials, work-in-progress and goods for resale are measured at cost according to the FIFO principle (according to which the most recently purchased items are considered to be in stock) or at their net realizable value, whichever is lower.
Group-manufactured products and work in progress are measured at the value of direct cost, direct payroll costs, consumables and a proportionate share of indirect production costs (IPC), which are allocated on the basis of the normal capacity of the production facility. IPC include the proportionate share of capacity costs directly relating to Group-manufactured products and work in progress.

Revenue is recognized based on the value of the work completed at the balance sheet date. The revenue corresponds to the sales value of the year's completed work based on costs incurred as a percentage of the total estimated costs (percentage of completion method).
The stage of completion for the individual project is calculated as the ratio between the cost incurred at the balance sheet date and the total estimated cost to complete the project. In some projects, where cost estimates cannot be used as a basis, the ratio between completed sub-activities and the total project is used instead. All direct and indirect costs that relate to the completion of the contract are included in the calculation.
When invoicing on account exceeds the value of the work completed, the liability is recognized as a contract liability under short-term liabilities.
If projects are expected to be loss-making, the loss is recognized immediately in the income statement. Costs not yet incurred are provided for as other provisions. Provisions are based on individual assessment of the estimated loss until the projects have been completed.

Total expected costs related to work-in-progress for third parties are partly based on estimates as they include provisions for unforeseen cost deviations in future supplies of raw materials, subcontractor products and services plus construction and handing over. Provisions for warranties on work-in-progress for third parties are based on Management estimates for each project while taking contract obligations into account.

Contract assets and liabilities consist of all open projects on 31 December including cost and profit recognized in prior years. The majority of all contract assets and liabilities on 31 December are expected to be revenue recognized in 2024.

Debt to credit institutions is recognized at the date of borrowing at the proceeds received less transaction costs. For subsequent periods, financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost for the difference between proceeds and the nominal value to be recognized as a financial expense over the term of the loan.

SKAKO is committed to maintaining a flexible capital structure. On 31 December 2024, SKAKO had undrawn committed credit facilitiesin the amount of DKK 44,053k (2023: DKK 168,797k). On 31 December 2024, SKAKO had 'cash and cash equivalents' and 'bank overdraft', net of DKK (20,244)k (2022: DKK 152,749k).
SKAKO monitors capital on the basis of the net debt relative to EBITDA. At the end of the year, the net debt to EBITDA ratio was equity ratio was 1.3 (2023: negative 4.7). SKAKO has a medium-term goal of a net debt to EBITDA ratio below 2.5.

Provisions are recognized when the Group, due to an event occurring before or at the balance sheet date, has a legal or constructive obligation and it is probable that financial benefits must be waived to settle the obligation. Provisions are measured according to Management's best estimate of the amount whereby the obligation is expected to be settled.
Provisions for warranty claims are estimated on a project-by-project basis based on historically realized cost related to claims in the past. The provision covers estimated own costs of completion, subsequent warranty supplies and unsettled claims from customers or subcontractors.
Provisions regarding disputes and lawsuits are based on Management's assessment of the likely outcome settling the cases based on the information at hand at the balance sheet date.

Management assesses provisions and the likely outcome of pending and probable lawsuits, etc. on an on-going basis. The outcome depends on future events, which are uncertain by nature. In assessing the likely outcome of lawsuits, etc., Management bases its assessment on internal and external legal assistance and established precedents.
Warranties and other provisions are measured on the basis of empirical information covering several years. Together with estimates by Management of future trends, this forms the basis for warranty provisions and other provisions. Long-term warranties and other provisions discounted to net present value takes place based on the future cash flow and discount rate expected by Management.

To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables and contract assets have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due. The contract assets relate to unbilled work in progress and have substantially the same risk characteristics as the trade receivables for the same types of contracts. The Group has therefore concluded that the expected loss rates for trade receivables are a reasonable approximation of the loss rates for the contract assets.
The expected loss rates are based on the payment profiles of sales over a period of 36 months before 31 December 2024 and the corresponding historical credit losses experienced within this period. The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables.
Trade receivables and contract assets are written down when there is no reasonable expectation ofrecovery. Indicatorsthat there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, amongst others, the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan with the Group, and a failure to make contractual payments for a period of longer than 120 days past due.
Impairment losses on trade receivables and contract assets are presented as net impairment losses within operating profit. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written down are credited against the same line item.
Risk management activities in the SKAKO Group mainly focus on financial risksto which the Company is fairly likely to be exposed. In connection with the preparation of the Group's strategic, budgetary and annual plans, the Board of Directors considersthe risks identified in these activities.
Financial risk management concentrates on identifying risks in respect of exchange rates, credit and liquidity with a view to protecting the Group against potential losses and ensuring that Management'sforecasts for the current year are only to a limited extent affected by changes or events in the surrounding world – be the changes in exchange rates or in interest rates. It is Group policy to exclusively hedge financial risks arising from our commercial activities and not to undertake any financial transactions of a speculative nature.
With more than 90% of the Group's sales being invoiced in foreign currencies, primarily EUR, reported revenue is affected by movements in the Group's trading currencies. The Group does not hedge (systematic) currency risks with financial instruments but seeks to minimize such exchange rate risks by matching positive and negative cash flows in the main currencies as much as possible. The Group conducts ongoing conversion to DKK in connection with the purchase and sale of foreign currency and monitoring of currency exposure.
Below is a sensitivity analysis in respect of exchange rates, given a positive change of 5% in the currencies with the highest exposures. We do not consider a currency risk on EUR. The estimate has been provided on a non-hedged basis.

The Group aims at having sufficient cash resources to be able to take appropriate steps in case of unforeseen fluctuationsin cash outflows. We have access to suitable undrawn credit facilities and the liquidity risk is therefore considered to be low.
The Group's credit risks relate primarily to trade receivables and contract assets. For large projects we have a signed Letter of Credit from the customer's bank before we undertake any work. Our remaining customer base is fragmented so credit risks in general only involve minor losses on individual customers. Overall, we therefore estimate that we have no major credit exposure on Group level. The maximum credit risk relating to receivables matches the carrying amount of such receivables. All trade receivables are considered to be paid within one year

There have been no events that materially affect the assessment of this Annual Report 2024 after the balance sheet date and up to today.
At the Board meeting on 12 March 2025, our Board of Directors approved this Annual Report 2024 for publication. The report will be presented to the shareholders of SKAKO A/S at the annual general meeting on 24 April 2025.
The Group's general accounting policies are described below. In addition to this, specific accounting policies are described in each of the individual notes to the consolidated financialstatements.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in compliance with IFRS Accounting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU and Danish disclosure requirements for annual reports published by reporting class D (listed) companies cf. the Danish executive order on IFRS issued in compliance with the Danish Financial Statements Act. The registered office of SKAKO A/S is in Faaborg, Denmark.
The consolidated financialstatements are presented in Danish kroner (DKK), which is the presentation currency for Group activities and the functional currency for the Parent. The consolidated financialstatements are presented on the basis of historical cost except for share-based remuneration which are measured at their fair value.
The financial statementsfor the Parent as well as the Parent's accounting policies are presented from the consolidated financialstatements and are shown on the last part of this Annual Report 2024.
The accounting policies remain unchanged for the consolidated financial statements compared to 2023.
New standards, amendments, and interpretations adopted but not yet effective The IASB has issued the following new standards, amendments and new interpretations which could be relevant to SKAKO A/S,but which have not yet been adopted by the EU:
• IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements: This new standard replaces IAS 1 and it implements set of new requirements for presentation and disclosures in the financial statements. The new standard requires the income statement to be structured into five categories, while also introducing two new subtotals. Furthermore, the new term "Management Performance Measures (MPM)" is introduced, which must be disclosed in the notes of the financial statements. The new requirements for presentation and disclosures are applicable for all financial statements, including consolidated financial statements, separate financial statements and interim financial statements.
The amendment will be effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2027. Early adoption of the amendment is permitted, when approved by the EU.
No new standards are expected to be implemented in 2024.
Revised and new standards and interpretations issued, but not yet effective or approved by the EU at the time of publication of this Annual Report 2024 have not been incorporated into this report.
IFRS contain extensive disclosure requirements. The Group discloses the information required according to IFRS unless such information is deemed immaterial.
A discontinued operation is a component of the entity that has been disposed. The results of discontinued operations are presented separately in the statement of profit or loss. Comparatives in the statement of profit and loss for previous periods are restated to reflect the result of discontinued operations.
The consolidated financialstatements comprise SKAKO A/S (the Parent) and the enterprises in which the Parent can or actually does exercise control by either directly or indirectly holding more than 50% of the voting rights.
The consolidated financialstatements are prepared on the basis of the financial statements for the Parent and its subsidiaries by aggregating uniform items. The financialstatements included in the consolidated financialstatements are prepared in accordance with the Group's accounting policies. Intra-Group income, expenses, shareholdings, balances and dividends as well as unrealized intra- Group profits on inventories are eliminated. The accounting items of subsidiaries are recognized 100% in the consolidated financialstatements.
Income and costs are recognized on an accrual basis. The income statement is broken down by function, and all costs including depreciation, amortization and impairment losses are then charged to production, distribution and administration.
Distribution costs include costs relating to training, sales, marketing, promotion materials, distribution, bad debts as well as depreciation, amortisation and impairment losses on assets used for distribution purposes.
Administrative expenses include administrative staff costs, office expenses as well as depreciation, amortisation and impairment losses on assets used for administrative purposes.
Prepaid expenses recognized under assets include costs relating to the subsequent financial years. Prepaid expenses are measured at cost.
Deferred income includes income received relating to the subsequent financial year. Deferred income is measured at cost.
Cash and cash equivalents consist of bank deposits and certain overdrafts, and other liquid assets.
Foreign currency translation reserve includesforeign currency translation adjustments on the translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries from their respective functional currenciesinto Danish kroner. Foreign currency translation adjustments are recognized in the income statement on realization of the net investment. Hedging reserves include fair value adjustments of derivatives satisfying the criteria for hedging of future transactions. The amounts are recognized in the income statement or the balance sheet in step with recognition of the hedged transactions.
On the sales of treasury shares, the purchase price or selling price, respectively, is recognized directly in equity under other reserves (retained earnings).
The cash flow statement is prepared according to the indirect method and reflects the consolidated net cash flow broken down into operating, investing and financing activities.
Cash flow from operating activities includes inflows from the year's operations adjusted for non-cash operating items, changes in working capital, financial income received and expenses paid, realized foreign currency translation gains and losses and income tax paid. Cash flow from investing activities includes the purchase, development, improvement or sale of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment.
Cash flow from investing activities comprises cash flows from the purchase and sale of intangible, tangible and financial non-current assets.
Cash flow from financing activities comprises cash flows from raising and repaying long-term debt, instalments on lease liabilities and bank overdraft.
On the preparation of the consolidated financialstatements, Management makes a number of accounting estimates and judgements. These relate to the recognition, measurement and classification of assets and liabilities. Many items can only be estimated rather than accurately measured. Such estimates are based on the most recent information available on preparation of the financialstatements. Estimates and assumptions are therefore reassessed on an ongoing basis. Actual figures may, however, deviate from these estimates. Any changes in accounting estimates will be recognized in the reporting period in which such changes are made. See list of significant estimates and assessments in chapter 3.4
