This interim condensed financial statement for the period of twelve months to 31 December 2024 has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". It does not contain all the information required to prepare full annual financial statements under IFRS and should be read together with the Company's annual financial statements as at 31 December 2023 prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), developed and published by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and adopted by the European Union (EU).

The interim condensed financial statement is drawn up in Bulgarian leva, which is the functional currency of the Company. All amounts are presented in thousands of BGN (thousand BGN) (including comparative information for 2023), unless otherwise stated.

The interim condensed financial statements are prepared under the going concern principle.

Actual results may differ from management's assumptions, estimates and assumptions and, in rare cases, are consistent with previously estimated results.

In preparing the presented interim condensed financial statements, the significant judgments of management in applying the Company's accounting policies and the main sources of uncertainty of accounting estimates do not differ from those disclosed in the annual financial statements of the Company as of 31 December 2023, except changes in the estimate of income tax liability.

Amendments to IAS 8 "Accounting policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors: Definition of Accounting Estimates" effective from 1 January 2023, adopted by the EU

7. Significant events and transactions

Climate Related Questions

Legislators, regulators and users of non-financial information are currently paying a lot of attention to climate change. The EU has adopted the European Green Deal to transition to a more sustainable economic and financial system, and in the coming years detailed climate change reporting requirements will become applicable as part of European sustainability reporting standards under the upcoming Corporate Reporting Directive.

Risks induced by climate changes may have future adverse effects on the Company's business activities. These risks include transition risks (e.g., regulatory changes and reputational risks) and physical risks. How the subsidiaries and associated companies of the Group operate their businesses may be affected by new regulatory constraints on the CO2 emissions it generates. Some of the subsidiaries and associated companies are engaged in purchasing emission allowances according to Directive 2003/87/EC, ETS Directive - last amended by Directive (EU) 2018/410, thereby making a significant contribution to reducing the risks of carbon displacement emissions and are stimulating decarbonisation, through the inclusion of benchmarks for free allocation of emissions based on the performance of the best performing enterprises in a given sector. This aims to encourage efficient operators to improve their performance while rewarding those who achieve good results.

.

The company on an individual level is not directly affected by climate risks, mainly due to the fact that it operates as a holding company and the main activity is aimed at qualitative and quantitative increase in the volume of projects in all sectors in which the companies of its Group operate, development of modern, management strategies and their immediate implementation through its subsidiaries. Concrete reflections of climate change could materialize in the amount of dividend income received by subsidiaries and associated companies that operate in the highly affected sectors from the point of view of sustainable development and its three main pillars. At the moment, most companies in the group of the most vulnerable segments have established and detailed measures to overcome changes of a climatic nature, as well as ways to reach the NetZero level of carbon emissions.

The activity of Chimimport AD is in accordance with the minimum limits under Art. 18 of Regulation/EU/2020/852 of the EP and of the Council and respects the principle "of not causing significant damage".

The effects of climate change can be in the context of two perspectives - the impact that a business can have through its activity on the climate, and the impact that climate change can have on its economic activity.

The activity of Chimimport AD has no direct impact on the environment. Regarding the second perspective, the effect would be indirect through the impact on the activities of subsidiaries and associated enterprises and respectively the income from dividends and administrative management services of the Company.

In the event of climate change actions in the future directly affecting the business, Chimimport AD undertakes to analyse the impact on the climate and reduce its carbon emissions, if any, by 50% by 2030 and to be carbon neutral no later than 2050.

Consistent with the prior year, as at 31 December 2023, the Company has not identified significant risks induced by climate changes that could negatively and materially affect the Company's financial statements. Management continuously assesses the impact of climate-related matters.

Assumptions could change in the future in response to forthcoming environmental regulations, new commitments taken and changing consumer demand. These changes, if not anticipated, could have an impact on the Company's future cash flows, financial performance and financial position.
