PIERER Mobility AG is the holding company of KTM AG, one of Europe's leading motorcycle manufacturers. With a focus on the premium segment, the company combines brands such as KTM, Husqvarna and GASGAS under one roof. The premium brand range also includes the high-performance components of the WP brand and the special KTM X-BOW high-performance sports cars. Husqvarna and GASGAS electric bicycles as well as bicycles of the Felt brand complement the two-wheeler range of the PIERER Mobility Group (the "Group").
The shares of PIERER Mobility AG are primarily listed in the "Swiss Performance Index (SPI)" of the SIX Swiss Exchange in Zurich and are also listed in the prime market segment of the Vienna Stock Exchange.
KTM AG is a 100% subsidiary of PIERER Mobility AG and was responsible for more than 95% of the PIERER Mobility Group's revenue in H1 2024.
In November 2024, in the course of liquidity planning for the 2025 financial year, it became clear that KTM had to cover significant additional liquidity requirements. Despite intensive efforts to resolve the situation out of court together with creditors and lenders, on November 29th, a court "restructuring procedure with self-administration" was filed over the assets of KTM AG and its subsidiaries KTM Components GmbH and KTM Forschungs & Entwicklungs GmbH. The aim of the proceedings was to agree on a restructuring plan with the creditors within the time frame provided for by law, specifically by February 25, 2025, and to continue the KTM Group after approval and fulfilment of this plan.
In addition to negotiations with creditors, the Group initiated a series of measures to reduce costs in the short term and redimension production in Austria in the long term. It was decided to interrupt production in Mattighofen/Munderfing from December 13, 2024 to March 2025 and then to continue in one-shift operation (previously in two-shift operation). This measure was accompanied by a further reduction in staff and a temporary (for the period of the interruption of production) reduction in working hours from the standard 38.5 hours per week to 30 hours per week. In addition to short-term cost reductions, this measure supported the accelerated reduction of high inventories. Further information on the measures initiated in the course of the restructuring process can be found in the chapter "Events after the accounting date".
The creditors accepted the restructuring plans of the three companies on February 25, 2025. A cash ratio of 30% has been agreed with the creditors of KTM AG, which had to be deposited with the restructuring administrator by May 23, 2025. The court is expected to confirm the restructuring plans in June 2025. After the legal entry into force, the restructuring proceedings of KTM AG as well as the two subsidiaries have come to an end.
The accounting in the notes to the consolidated financial statements and the reporting in the following Group management report were unchanged under the assumption that KTM would continue to operate. This assessment is based on current findings and developments in connection with the restructuring procedure. In principle, the restructuring procedure is therefore not accompanied by any change in the accounting principles applied and in accounting and valuation policies.
The resulting restructuring profit of 70% of the registered creditors' claims can only be realised by the KTM Group with the legally binding confirmation of the restructuring plan by the insolvency court and its prerequisites.
As of the balance sheet date, the restructuring proceedings did not change the respective character or maturities of the reported debts, and the debt-discharging effect of the restructuring plan is not to be recognised in the balance sheet until the 2025 financial year. Against this background, there is also no need to disclose contingent liabilities from this.
The causes of the insolvency of KTM AG can be traced back to a series of several circumstances and cannot be reduced to a single fact.
Until the end of 2023, the KTM Group's motorcycle business was characterized by steadily increasing production and sales volumes and consequently increasing sales. At the same time, production capacities were continuously expanded and increased. As dealer sales to end customers in 2023 could not increase to the same extent as KTM Group sales to dealers, there was a high dealer inventory at the end of 2023.
The year 2024 was a good year for the KTM Group in terms of end customer sales, but the KTM Group's sales figures paint a challenging picture. As a result, the turnover achieved fell short of expectations, as dealers and importers were unable to absorb any further quantities due to the tradition of the previous two years, and the KTM Group was subsequently only able to achieve limited sales. End customer demand was therefore increasingly met from the inventories of dealers and importers. In the USA, there was a general decline in demand for motorcycles and the economic development in Europe was unexpected and largely weak. The KTM Group therefore decided to discontinue all sales measures that had long payment terms in the fourth quarter of the 2024 financial year.
The sales volumes of 2023 could only be achieved by granting particularly long payment terms of 270 to even 360 days towards the end. These extremely long payment terms have led to working capital requirements almost doubling. In addition, the interest had to be borne for these long financing periods.
By far the largest production site of the group is Mattighofen/Munderfing. In the last three years, wage and salary costs in Austria have risen by around 25% and material costs by around 15%, not least due to collective agreements. This led to a loss of competitiveness on the world market. In addition, the reduced production volumes led to insufficient coverage of fixed costs. Cost increases could only be partially passed on to end customers, which led to falling contribution margins overall.
Due to the growth of recent years and the multi-brand strategy pursued, the KTM Group has developed a diverse product portfolio with several brands. This resulted in an enormous effort for research and development (R&D). In the last two years alone, capitalized R&D expenses increased by € 288 million.
Motorsport is important for the KTM Group in several respects. On the one hand, motorsport is used by the KTM Group to gain essential insights into the further development of motorcycles and to test new technologies and developments under extreme conditions. On the other hand, racing successes vis-àvis end customers underpin the brand positioning and contribute to brand awareness and sharpening. Nevertheless, the expenditure for the motorsport commitment was relatively high.
During the Corona pandemic, the demand for bicycles increased rapidly, which led to overheating in the bicycle market and distortions throughout the supply chain. As a result, inventories reached record levels. The reduction of these stocks to a normal level continues, while at the same time there is massive pressure on sales prices. On the customer side, the increased cost of living in the core market of Europe led to a loss of purchasing power. This led to a decline in demand for premium (electric) bicycles. The resulting liquidity requirements from the resulting loss situation of the PIERER New Mobility subgroup were mainly covered by KTM AG.
In the 2024 financial year, the KTM Group sold the business with new mobility products bundled in the PIERER New Mobility GmbH subgroup to PIERER Mobility AG as of June 1, 2024. As of the balance sheet date of December 31, 2024, KTM AG had financial claims against PIERER New Mobility GmbH in the amount of € 372.0 million.
In the 2022 and 2024 financial years, KTM AG acquired a total of 50.1% of the shares in the loss-making motorcycle manufacturer MV Agusta Motor S.p.A., Varese, Italy, in two stages. The aim was to increase the production volume and adapt the product range in such a way that the profit zone could be reached as quickly as possible. The contracts provided for working capital financing and compensation to support MV Agusta Motor S.p.A.'s loss-making situation. The necessary liquidity of around € 220 million was ultimately raised by KTM AG.
In the fall of 2024, it became apparent that the thresholds of the financial covenants could probably not be met at the end of the year.
The increase in working capital led to the full use of financing frameworks related to working capital credit lines, factoring or supply chain financing. Therefore, not enough new funds could be raised within the existing lines.
Overall, KTM's net debt, excluding receivables from financing activities, increased from € 444.8 million to € 1,607.1 million over the last 18 months. This increase is mainly due to the above-mentioned areas of financing of the PIERER New Mobility subgroup (approx. € 331 million), the MV Agusta financing (approx. € 217 million), the increase in investments in research and development and the build-up of working capital via working capital financing of approx. € 508 million.
KTM AG's previous stake in MV Agusta Motor S.p.A., Varese, Italy, was increased to 50.1% in March 2024, making the company a fully consolidated subsidiary. At the end of the 2024 financial year, the Executive Board of KTM AG passed a resolution to sell the shares held in all MV Agusta companies in the 2025 financial year. The related assets and liabilities were measured as a disposal group in accordance with IFRS 5 and reported separately.
PIERER Green Energy GmbH was acquired by PIERER Industrie AG, Wels, with effect from June 1, 2024. At the same time, the company was merged with KTM Immobilien GmbH.
PB Invest GmbH was acquired by KTM Components GmbH from PIERER Industrie AG with a legally effective contract dated September 2, 2024. PB Invest GmbH was a holding company whose only significant asset was its 100% shareholding in Vöcklabrucker Metallgießerei GmbH. Therefore, PB Invest GmbH was merged with KTM Components GmbH at the time of acquisition and Vöcklabrucker Metallgießerei GmbH became a fully consolidated subsidiary of the KTM Group. The date of the initial consolidation was September 1, 2024, and on December 13, 2024, the management of Vöcklabrucker Metallgießerei GmbH filed for bankruptcy proceedings. The bankruptcy proceedings were accompanied by the loss of control within the meaning of IFRS 10, as the company has since been liquidated by a court-appointed liquidator. Against this background, the KTM Group has simplified the deconsolidation of Vöcklabrucker Metallgießerei GmbH as of December 1, 2024, as no significant transactions or changes in the net assets, financial position or results of operations of Vöcklabrucker Metallgießerei GmbH occurred in the period between December 1 and 13, 2024.
For further changes in shareholdings, please refer to Note 9 "Changes in the scope of consolidation".
The PIERER Mobility Group was represented in MotoGPTM by two factory teams: Red Bull KTM Factory Racing and Red Bull GASGAS Tech 3.
For both of them, the 2024 season was challenging but successful.
For the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing team, Brad Binder achieved a Grand Prix and a Sprint podium in Qatar. In the overall standings, he was the best MotoGP rider of the PIERER Mobility squad with 5th place. Development rider and MotoGP legend Dani Pedrosa competed in the Jerez sprint with a wildcard and celebrated an impressive podium finish. KTM finished the MotoGP season in 2nd place in the constructors' standings.
The Red Bull GASGAS Tech3 team and Pedro Acosta caused a stir in MotoGP: Acosta secured five podiums in Grand Prix and four in sprint races as "Rookie of the Year 2024". With his third place at the Portuguese GP, he became the third-youngest podium rider in MotoGP history (19 years). He will join the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing Team in 2025. The Tech3 team returns to the iconic orange colours of Red Bull KTM Tech3 for the 2025 season. The riders will be Enea Bastianini and Maverick Viñales.
In the Moto3 World Championship, Colombian David Alonso dominated for CFMOTO KTM. With 14 victories in the season, he broke the record for the most victories per season.
In off-road motorcycle racing, Husqvarna factory rider Billy Bolt dominated the 2024 FIM SuperEnduro World Championship and won his fourth consecutive title. In the AMA Supercross series, Chase Sexton finished third overall in the 450SX class and won the AMA Pro Motocross 450 Championship. Tom Vialle secured the AMA Supercross 250 East Division on KTM, while RJ Hampshire was successful in the West Division on his Husqvarna.
Manuel Lettenbichler triumphed again in the FIM Hard Enduro World Championship, despite a single injury-related retirement. Josep Garcia prevailed in the FIM EnduroGP World Championship and also won the Enduro1 World Championship. Garcia triumphed at the International Six Days of Enduro and secured a historic fourth overall victory.
At the 2024 Dakar Rally, Kevin Benavides finished 4th for KTM, while Daniel Sanders made a comeback with a win at the Rallye du Maroc in October 2024.
Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing's Jorge Prado became FIM MXGP World Champion in 2024 and Kay de Wolf won the MX2 crown on Husqvarna. Other riders such as Sasha and Lucas Coenen, Liam Everts, Andrea Adamo and Simon Längenfelder celebrated podiums and victories.
For GASGAS Factory Racing, Jaime Busto celebrated podium finishes in the overall standings of the TrailGP and X-Trail World Championships.
The difficult macroeconomic conditions at the beginning of the 2024 financial year have lasted longer than originally expected. Growth in the eurozone remained low, with the important German market in particular in recession. In the US, consumer purchasing power remained low due to the high cost of living and the long period of expensive consumer loans.
The outlook for the global economy remains gloomy. The impact of the Russian-Ukrainian war, which has been going on since 2022, the recent developments of the war in the Middle East and the ongoing tensions there, as well as significantly higher inflation rates, among other factors, have led to a slowdown in the global economy. Although global economic growth remains weighed down, the global economy as a whole has shown remarkable resilience. However, there are considerable regional and national differences.
In spring 2025, the new US administration implemented extensive and significant import tariffs that affect all major economic regions worldwide. At the time of writing, it is not foreseeable how much these new tariffs will have in place and what countermeasures will be taken by other economic areas. It is also unclear whether the tariffs will lead to new trade alliances. It is to be expected that tariffs will increase prices for consumers and reduce the disposable income of private households.
Furthermore, the US has made efforts to end the war in Ukraine. This was accompanied by a reduction in military aid to Ukraine. The European Union has responded and wants to mobilise up to €800 billion for rearmament. The EU deficit limits are to be relaxed in favor of an increase in the national defense spending of the member states.
In addition to these two topics, the situation in the Middle East (especially in and around Israel or in connection with the nuclear program in Iran and uncertainties of the transport route through the Gulf of Aden) as well as the tensions between China and Taiwan pose risks.

1) IMF (International Monetary Fund), World Economic Outlook, April 2025
In the 2024 financial year, registration figures increased by 7% (+245,000 motorcycles). The different regions show a clearly differentiated picture.
In Europe, the market in terms of new registrations (i.e. exclusive motocross models) rose to more than 900,000 motorcycles (+14.3%), including a one-off effect of one-day registrations at the end of 2024 due to the changeover to Euro homologation on 1 January 2025. The effect of one-day registrations in Europe can be estimated at just under 10 percentage points, which reduces the real growth of the European motorcycle market to about 4 – 5%. Accordingly, the increase in registrations is particularly noticeable in the growth rates of the European core markets of Germany (+20.2%), Italy (+15.0%) and Spain (+18.3%). The KTM group's market share increased from 10.5% to 11.1% (measured by the three core brands KTM, Husqvarna and GASGAS).
In North America, sales (in contrast to Europe including motocross models) fell by 1.8% to 475,000 units sold. The market share of the KTM Group's three core brands fell from 12.8% to 11.3% in the 2024 financial year. Especially in the high-sales months of August and September, demand in the USA fell by 8.1% (August) and even by 14.6% (September). The segment of high-margin off-road motorcycles came under additional pressure in the USA (-6.8%).
The Australian and New Zealand markets continued to decline (-3.8%). It comprises a total volume of 65,000 motorcycles. The market share of KTM, Husqvarna and GASGAS fell to 18.6% (previous year: 21.0%).
The relevant Indian motorcycle market (S2/S3 segment) was once again clearly on the upswing in 2024 (+10.8%) and had a volume of around 1.35 million motorcycles sold. The strategic partner Bajaj sold over 60,000 KTM and Husqvarna motorcycles in India. The market share of these brands fell to 4.5% (previous year: 5.3%).
The Asian region was marked by significant losses in 2024 (-17.7%), with the markets in Thailand (-22.3%) and China (premium importer market; -28.8%) being particularly affected. In Japan (motorcycles >250cc), the decline was only 2.6% and thus noticeably smaller. Nevertheless, the market share of KTM's core brands in this important growth region has risen to 5.1% (previous year: 4.4%), indicating a market-related outperformance of the KTM brands. In China in particular, the market share of KTM brands increased to 11.3% in 2024 (previous year: 8.5%).
In addition, global economic uncertainties have significantly impacted the motorcycle market in 2024. Factors such as fluctuating exchange rates, rising production costs, and supply chain disruptions have created a challenging environment for manufacturers and consumers alike. These uncertainties have led to cautious spending and investment decisions in various regions, which has further influenced the market dynamics.
During the Corona pandemic, the demand for bicycles increased rapidly, which led to overheating in the bicycle market and distortions throughout the supply chain. As a result, inventories reached record levels. The reduction of these stocks to a normal level continues, while at the same time there is massive pressure on sales prices. On the customer side, the increased cost of living in the core market of Europe led to a loss of purchasing power. This caused a decline in demand for premium electric bicycles and bicycles.

The total sales figures of motorcycles and (electric) bicycles of the PIERER Mobility Group are as follows:

In the 2024 financial year, the Group sold 292,497 motorcycles (-21.5%). This figure includes KTM and Husqvarna motorcycles sold by partner Bajaj in India and Indonesia. Of total sales, 212,685 units were for the KTM brand (-22.8%), 50,977 units for the Husqvarna brand (-21.9%), 18,814 units for the GASGAS brand (-31.5%) and 3,748 units for the MV Agusta brand (+102.4%). In addition, the Group sold 6,273 CFMOTO motorcycles (+150.6%).
The KTM brand thus accounted for 72.7% of all motorcycles sold, Husqvarna 17.4%, GASGAS 6.4%, CFMOTO 2.1% and MV Agusta 1.3%.
Sales of motorcycles with electric drive declined at a low level. 5,889 units were sold worldwide (-12.4%), almost exclusively (96.3%) in the off-road market segment. This means that 2.0% of the total motorcycles sold had an electric drive.


All relevant markets showed a decline in sales figures. The decline of 18.7% (-25,549 units) in Europe and 27.5% (-26,963 units) in North America deserves special mention.
The Group sold 37.9% of its motorcycles in Europe (+1.3 percentage points compared to the previous year), 24.3% in North America including Mexico (-2.0 percentage points compared to the previous year) and 21.2% via its partner Bajaj in India
and Indonesia (+3.4 percentage points compared to the previous year). A further 16.6% (-2.7 percentage points compared to the previous year) were sold in other regions.

In the 2024 financial year, the Group sold 106,311 bicycles (-31.8%).
On the one hand, at the end of 2023, the group divested itself of the R Raymon brand, which accounted for 66.9% of total sales (104,336 units). In addition, the Johansson electric cargo bike business was sold on October 1, 2024. The Group sold 3,639 of these units in 2024 (previous year: 189 units). On the other hand, the remaining core brands increased their sales in the 2024 financial year: Husqvarna E-Bicycles (+104.1%), GASGAS (+227.2%) and Felt (+67.9%). As a consequence, sales of electric bicycles fell by only 32.5% to 66,880 units and that of bicycles by 30.5% to 39,431 units.
58.9% of the electric bikes sold were of the Husqvarna E-Bicycles brand and 37.5% were of the GASGAS brand. In the case of bicycles, almost all sales (91.3%) were accounted for by the Felt brand.

From a regional perspective, Europe, especially the DACH region, was the largest sales market in the 2024 financial year.

In the 2024 financial year, sales of € 1,803.8 million (previous year: € 2,416.4 million) were generated in the motorcycle segment (-25.4% compared to the previous year). EBITDA in the 2024 financial year amounted to € -220.6 million (previous year: € 371.0 million) and EBIT amounted to € -887.1 million (previous year: € 214.4 million). This corresponds to an EBITDA margin of -12.2% (previous year: 15.4%) and an EBIT margin of -49.2% (previous year: 8.9%).
In Europe, sales amounted to € 982.5 million (previous year: € 1,229.0 million) compared to the previous year's level, which corresponds to a 54.5% share of sales (previous year: 50.9%). In North America, the Motorcycle Division recorded sales of € 517.0 million (previous year: € 754.4 million). This accounted for 28.7% of sales in North America (previous year: 31.2%). In the other countries, sales decreased slightly year-on-year by 29.7% to € 304.3 million. The share of sales in the other countries was 16.9% (previous year: 17.9%).

In the 2024 financial year, the bicycle division generated sales of € 111.5 million (previous year: € 240.7 million). This represents a 53.7% year-over-year loss in revenue. EBITDA in 2024 was € -256.4 million (previous year: € -41.8 million) and EBIT was € -291.1 million (previous year: € -47.1 million).

Non-current assets decreased by € 386.3 million (-29.0%) to € 947.5 million (This decrease is mainly due to impairment losses made in the course of the impairment test in accordance with IAS 36: On the one hand, goodwill was fully impaired (€ -131.7 million) and on the other hand, property, plant and equipment and intangible assets (in particular development costs) were impaired on a pro rata basis (€ -131.7 million).226.7 million). Property, plant and equipment decreased by € 114.6 million and intangible assets by € 192.3 million. Deferred tax assets increased by € 74.2 million in the 2024 financial year, mainly due to the capitalization of deferred taxes on loss carryforwards.
Within current assets, inventories in particular decreased by € 239.4 million. On the other hand, the main changes relate to the reduction of cash and cash equivalents in the amount of € 95.6 million. Overall, this led to a 23.1% reduction in current assets to € 1,241.7 million.
Current financial liabilities increased by € 1,640.7 million year-on-year to € 1,712.8 million. The increase is primarily due to the short-term funds raised to cover the identified financing needs, which ultimately led to the insolvency proceedings. To explain the background, please refer to the explanations under point 1.2 "Restructuring proceedings KTM AG, KTM Components GmbH and KTM Forschungs & Entwicklungs GmbH".
Non-current liabilities decreased by 82.7% to € 196.1 million, mainly due to adjustments to the maturities of financial liabilities.
Equity decreased by € 1,103.0 million to € -193.7 million- in the 2024 financial year.
Cash flow from operations amounted to € 436.0 million in the 2024 financial year-, significantly below the previous year's figure of € -110.9 million, mainly due to the negative earnings trend. Cash outflow from investments amounted to € -340.5 million and is above the previous year's figure of € -302.1 million. This increase is mainly due to higher payouts for the acquisition of subsidiaries and companies accounted for using the equity method (effect of € -57.7 million). As a result, free cash flow amounted to € -776.5 million (previous year: € -413.0 million).
After taking into account the cash flow from financing activities of € 694.7 million, cash and cash equivalents decreased compared to December 31, 2023 by € 87.4 million (including foreign currency effects of € -5.6 million) to € 171.6 million
In the current financial year, total investments of € 272.0 million (previous year: € 316.5 million) including IFRS 16 lease additions of € 39.2 million (previous year: € 32.5 million) were made in the PIERER Mobility Group. Capital expenditures excluding leasing projects are distributed among development projects (including tools), property, plant and equipment and intangible assets as follows:

In the past financial year, as usual, high investments were made in series development projects (including tools). Investments in development projects (including tools) account for 75% of total capital expenditure, which is higher than the previous year's level (previous year: 69%). The high level of investment in series product development is one of the key success factors of the PIERER Mobility Group. At 15%, investments in infrastructure (property, plant and equipment) were also slightly below the previous year's level of 20%. A further 10% (previous year: 11%) was attributable to intangible assets (IT, licenses).
As in previous years, the main investment projects in 2024 are mainly development projects and the purchase of tools and equipment.
This non-financial statement was prepared in accordance with Section 267a of the Austrian Commercial Code (UGB) as part of the management report of the consolidated financial statements in line with the requirements of the Austrian Sustainability and Diversity Improvement Act ("Nachhaltigkeits- und Diversitätsverbesserungsgesetz", NaDiVeG). The non-financial statement was prepared in accordance with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) in preparation for the reporting obligation under the CSRD. In accordance with ESRS 1.136 comparative information is not reported. PIERER Mobility AG includes further information and metrics on the basis of the Taxonomy Regulation (EU) 2020/852.
The material topics of PIERER Mobility AG are discussed in greater detail in the following chapters in accordance with the Austrian NaDiVeG:
4.1 ESRS 2 – General disclosures
4.2 EU Taxonomy: Disclosures in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852 (Taxonomy Regulation)
4.3 ESRS E1 Climate change
4.4 ESRS E5 Resource use and circular economy

PIERER Mobility AG has prepared the non-financial statement on a consolidated basis. The scope of consolidation for the non-financial statement is the same as that of the 2024 consolidated financial statements with the exceptions given below (see chapter XII. "Group companies (schedule of equity holdings)" of the Notes). The content of the non-financial statement focuses on the activities of the PIERER Mobility Group (the "Group"). If required (for comprehensibility), information about the Group's up- and downstream value chain is, as far as possible, included. The Group's double materiality assessment took into consideration its entire value chain, focusing on direct business partners. Further information on the up- and downstream value chain, including with regard to disclosed concepts, measures and metrics, is given in the respective sections on the topical standards. Special attention was paid to completeness in the compilation of the information, in particular that relating to the company's own operations. However, no guarantee can be provided as to the completeness of the qualitative disclosures, in particular as with regard to future developments and know-how.
The ESRS were applied voluntarily based on the prevailing legislation in Austria at the time at which the report was drawn up. The following group companies are not included (or are included only partially):

When compiling the non-financial statement, the Group paid particular attention to the completeness and accuracy of the data disclosed. Where possible, the Group used primary data to calculate quantitative information in relation to its own operations. Due to the limited availability of data in the upstream and downstream value chain and its high complexity, only a limited amount of primary data could be used to calculate the key figures. Consequently, assumptions and estimates were made. There is therefore a particularly high level of outcome uncertainty in relation to quantitative disclosures regarding the up- and downstream value chain, for example Scope 3 GHG emissions or the expected working life of the Group's products in comparison with industry data. Further information on the calculation and estimation of disclosures and the certainty of this can be found together with the data disclosed in the sections on the calculation principles and assumptions. In addition, some extrapolations had to be made on the basis of headcount or production figures. This applied in particular to figures for E1 and E5 and for companies with fewer than 50 employees. However, extrapolations were also used in other cases where the data was incomplete. Further information on the extrapolations can be found in the sections on calculation principles and assumptions.
In this non-financial statement, the Group is reporting in compliance with the ESRS for the first time. This has resulted in a material change from the way reporting was carried out previously, which included a separate sustainability report (non-financial report pursuant to Section 267a of the Austrian Commercial Code (UGB) prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). This change required multiple amendments to the processes and methods used for reporting and the data points to be collected. Due to the limited comparability of the information against the disclosures for previous periods, this non-financial statement for financial year 2024 does not provide comparative figures against previous years. In terms of the reporting pursuant to the EU Taxonomy Regulation, the process used in the previous year was followed. As a result of revaluations or new insights, minor adjustments were made to the reported figures. These are described in section 4.2 of this management report on EU Taxonomy.
The figures disclosed in this report have not been validated by an external body (with the exception of the audit). The consumption figures for the motorcycles, which have been used to establish the Scope 3.11 GHG emissions, are based on data calculated using the World-harmonized Motorcycle Test Cycle (WMTC). The collection of these values is monitored by TÜV Rheinland. This body and the German KBA review the data collected and issue a report. For further information, see E1-6 and the description of valuation principles and assumptions related to ESRS E1. The MDR-A requirements of ESRS 2 have only been fully implemented for significant actions.
The whole process of creating a product in motorcycle manufacturing – from market analysis, the idea for the product, design studies, construction and development, cooperation with suppliers, the procurement of components for series production, parts production, assembly of the engine and vehicle, through to packing and dispatch – is mapped by an integrated management system according to ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 and controlled using the KTM process management system. The scope of certification of ISO 9001:2015 covers the production sites in Mattighofen, Munderfing and Graz, KTM Forschungs & Entwicklungs GmbH, KTM Informatics GmbH, the logistics sites in Munderfing and Schalchen as well as the sales subsidiaries located in Mattighofen and Graz. The scope of certification of ISO 14001:2015 covered KTM Components GmbH and KTM Forschungs & Entwicklungs GmbH, as well as the divisions at KTM AG's Austrian production and logistics sites in Munderfing and Mattighofen.
Further information on the BP-2 requirements is provided together with the disclosures to which it relates.
KTM AG is a principal subsidiary of the holding company PIERER Mobility AG. On November 29, 2024, restructuring proceedings were opened in respect of KTM AG and two of its subsidiaries. These proceedings had a direct impact on the economic situation of Avocodo GmbH and PIERER E-Commerce GmbH, which led to insolvency of these two companies in January 2025. Against this background, the focus of the Executive Board members of PIERER Mobility AG, who are also members of the Executive Board of KTM AG, was on the continuation of the KTM Group in particular.
PIERER Mobility AG is an "Aktiengesellschaft" (stock corporation) under Austrian law. This legal form provides for a dual system with separation of corporate governance (Executive Board) and supervision (Supervisory Board) at the level of the governing bodies. As of December 31, 2024, the Executive Board consisted of Stefan Pierer (CEO) and Gottfried Neumeister (Co-CEO); the Supervisory Board consisted of six people. Neither body has any representatives of the employees or other members of the workforce. The Executive Board and Supervisory Board cooperate at regular intervals on the basis of open and transparent discussion.
The PIERER Mobility AG Executive Board manages the company, under its own responsibility, as required for the company's welfare, taking into consideration the interests of the shareholders, employees and the public interest. Executive Board members are appointed by the Supervisory Board.
The Supervisory Board is tasked with monitoring corporate governance. In certain business cases specified in the Austrian Stock Corporation Act (AktG), the Articles of Association and the rules of procedure, the Executive Board must seek the approval of the Supervisory Board.
The rules for proper corporate governance are set out in, among others, the Austrian Code of Corporate Governance (ÖCGK), to which PIERER Mobility AG is committed. As a company listed in Switzerland, PIERER Mobility AG is also subject to the rules of the Swiss Directive on Information Relating to Corporate Governance of the SIX Swiss Exchange ("Swiss Directive on Corporate Governance").

Executive Board: Selection criteria for Executive Board members are their specialist qualification, leadership qualities, previous performance and knowledge of the company.
A person's age and sex play no role in the decision to appoint members of the Executive Board and do not lead to any preference or disadvantage in the selection process. The members of the Executive Board are all men (proportion of women: 0%) and were born between 1956 and 1977.
Supervisory Board: The Supervisory Board should comprise personnel with the requisite professional and personal qualities. Consideration must be given to ensuring a professionally balanced composition that reflects the structure and business activities of the Group. Appropriate consideration must be given to diversity aspects of the Supervisory Board to ensure that both genders and different ages are represented.
For supervisory boards of listed companies with at least six members, Austrian Law2 provides a minimum gender quota of 30%. The Supervisory Board of PIERER Mobility AG is composed of two women and four men (proportion of women: 33%). The members of the Supervisory Board were born between 1957 and 1972. Four members are Austrian citizens and two are Indian citizens.
2 See: Austrian Act on Equality Between Men and Women on Supervisory Boards ("Gleichstellungsgesetz von Frauen und Männern im Aufsichtsrat" – GFMA-G), 2017
Furthermore, the Group's diversity policy stipulates the following for the Supervisory Board:
Some members of the Supervisory Board perform management functions in other companies, in which they must likewise deal with the implications of European sustainability requirements. Furthermore, they expand their sustainability-related expertise through various training opportunities and ongoing information about the latest developments. There are currently no defined training measures for Supervisory Board members. The involvement of the Audit Committee and the Committee for Compliance, Investor Relations (IR) and Sustainability (ESG) in structuring and drawing up the nonfinancial statement is described in the "Supervisory Board Committees" section.
PIERER Mobility AG uses the Austrian Code of Corporate Governance to define the independence of the members of the Supervisory Board. Consequently, of the six members of the Supervisory Board, four are independent in accordance with C-Rule 53 (67%) and therefore do not have any business or personal relations with the company or its Executive Board that constitute a material conflict of interest. Furthermore, one member is independent under C-Rule 54 (17%).
Sustainability Steering Committee (SSC): A Sustainability Steering Committee (SSC) was set up at the level of PIERER Mobility AG in financial year 2024. It is led by the ESG & Risk Management lead and the Sustainability team of Pierer Industrie AG and includes representatives of the main specialist divisions of PIERER Mobility AG. This guarantees that the sustainability-related impacts, risks and opportunities (IROs) are made transparent and monitored and that there is coordination with the higherlevel Pierer Industrie AG. A coordination meeting (ESG coordination meeting) takes place at least once every two weeks between the SSC leaders and any other participants attending for specific reasons, for example the Chair of the Committee for Compliance, IR and ESG. One of the tasks of the SSC is to implement the CSRD/ESRS within the Group. The ESG Management team, whose leadership is represented on the SSC, coordinates the preparation of the sustainability statement at an operative level and was responsible for conducting the double materiality assessment. During the assessment process, it carefully studied the Group's material IROs. The team has specialist expertise and many years of experience in the field of sustainability.
The SSC prepares the information required for the Executive Board of PIERER Mobility AG. Each Executive Board member is responsible for the sustainability issues, including defining measures and targets, in their own areas of the business at an operative level.
Committees of the Supervisory Board: The Supervisory Board of PIERER Mobility AG has three committees: the Audit Committee, the Remuneration Committee and the Committee for Compliance, IR and ESG. The Audit Committee is, among other things, responsible for the auditing and preparation for the approval of the management report. As of financial year 2024, the non-financial statement is a component of the management report. This means that the Audit Committee is responsible for auditing the non-financial statement. The Committee for Compliance, IR and ESG also focuses on the sustainability-related issues and regularly reviews whether the Compliance, IR and ESG objectives pursued by PIERER Mobility AG are being met. For this purpose, at least one representative from these committees attends the ESG coordination meetings, which generally take place once every two weeks.
The committees are therefore kept up to date with any developments in the field of sustainability and the process for structuring and drawing up the non-financial statement and may fulfill their oversight function during the course of the year.
Steering by Executive Board members: Sustainability aspects affect large areas of corporate planning and activity within the Group. The members of the Executive Board are (directly and indirectly) informed by the SSC, the other KTM AG Executive Board members and their division heads about the sustainability aspects that are relevant to their respective area of responsibility. There are currently no defined training measures for Executive Board members. However, various (company-internal and external) experts are available to the members of the Executive Board when required. Furthermore, the members of the Executive Board have the required expertise regarding sustainability-related components thanks to their management functions in other companies. Moreover, discussions take place (during the year, for example as part of the preparation of the annual financial statements) with members of the Supervisory Board, in particular members of the Audit Committee and the Committee for Compliance, IR and ESG. Further information on the steering of sustainability aspects can be found in section GOV-2.
In the Extraordinary General Meeting of January 27, 2025, the Chair, Josef Blazicek, resigned his Supervisory Board seat and Mr. Stephan Zöchling was appointed. In the Supervisory Board meeting held later the same day, Mr. Zöchling was elected as the new Chair of the Supervisory Board and new members were appointed to the committees of the Supervisory Board.
On January 23, 2025, Stefan Pierer handed over the role of CEO to Gottfried Neumeister. Mr. Pierer took up the role of Co-CEO.
The material IROs of the Group and their management are discussed in the ESG coordination meetings and technical discussions held between the division heads, committees, and administrative and management bodies. Further information on the coordination meetings can be found in section GOV-1 "Channels for steering sustainability aspects."
The material IROs (see SBM-3) feed indirectly into the corporate strategy and associated transaction decisions. As almost all the identified material topics were relevant in the past (see for example the voluntarily audited sustainability report for 20233 ), they are generally handled by the Group at operative level. In the case of strategic and relevant operational decisions, they are brought into the overall context. In connection with this incorporation of sustainability aspects into the strategy, please refer to section SBM-1. The material risks and opportunities were identified by the risk management as part of the materiality assessment (see IRO-1) and therefore are directly linked to the risk management process. This process includes reporting to the Executive Board of KTM AG, which, together with the PIERER Mobility AG Group Executive Board, is responsible for its monitoring. Further information on the process can be found in the management report in section 6 "Opportunities and risk report".
In financial year 2024, in addition to the sustainability topics addressed on an ongoing basis, the administrative, management and supervisory bodies also studied, in greater detail, topics surrounding climate change mitigation, in particular as part of the development of the decarbonization strategy, as well as the implications of the personnel strategy, and employee satisfaction.
Members of the Supervisory Board's Committee for Compliance, IR and ESG (see GOV-1) were involved in the work of the SSC. They were also informed by the Executive Board about projects, the course of business and business planning, including the non-financial performance indicators, and supported the Executive Board in an advisory capacity on material strategic decisions. The Supervisory Board also dealt with the corporate governance of the company and compliance management. In financial year 2024, the Supervisory Board examined new regulations and the current legal framework

conditions on sustainability issues. Before the non-financial statement is disclosed, it is presented to the Committee for Compliance, IR and ESG, the Audit Committee, and, finally, the entire Supervisory Board.
The variable remuneration of the Executive Board incorporates only financial figures (and therefore no specific sustainability-related targets and/or impacts). The remuneration of the Executive Board and Supervisory Board is based on the remuneration policy decided by the Annual General Meeting. The specific parameters for Executive Board remuneration are agreed between each member of the Executive Board and the company, represented by the Supervisory Board. The Remuneration Committee set up by the Supervisory Board deals with general questions relating to Executive Board remuneration. The Supervisory Board considers the established remuneration arrangements to be suitable for the Executive Board of PIERER Mobility AG. Due to the company's special shareholder structure – with a core shareholder represented on the Executive Board and Supervisory Board – the Executive Board is not expected to make any short-term profit maximization to the detriment of the longterm performance of the company. Rather, the Supervisory Board acts on the assumption that the Executive Board takes a holistic approach in which non-financial matters are essential for long-term successful management, which guarantees the company's existence and the sustainability of the business model.
Supervisory Board remuneration consists exclusively of an attendance fee for Supervisory Board and committee meetings. In order to guarantee impartial supervision of corporate governance by the Supervisory Board, the members of the Supervisory Board are not granted any variable remuneration.
The table below shows the key steps in the process in place to ensure compliance with due diligence; the steps are described in this non-financial statement.

The Group's internal control system for sustainability reporting is responsible for ensuring the regularity and reliability of the information, compliance with the relevant regulatory requirements, and data protection.
Risks in connection with the non-financial statement are ascertained and monitored by the Group's ESG and risk management, taking into consideration the findings made during financial reporting. The identified risks that are considered to be relevant include incomplete or incorrect recording and presentation of relevant facts, errors in collecting evidence, and incorrect calculations. The implementation of new reporting standards increases the complexity in reporting and may lead to delays. There is also a risk of data being accessed by unauthorized persons or of data being manipulated, IT systems failing and data being lost.
The organizational structure of the Group forms the basis for the control environment and the internal control system within the company. Due to the number of divisions involved in drawing up the nonfinancial statement, the pooling of competences and responsibilities in the Group's ESG and risk management is important for supporting the divisions and for correct data consolidation. Comprehensive change management makes it possible to trace data sources and therefore the link between raw data and reported information. Regular reporting by ESG management to members of the SSC and the audit and approval of the entire non-financial statement by SSC members ensure the plausibility and validity of the data. A member of the Supervisory Board regularly attends SSC coordination meetings. IT risks are addressed by a stringent access management policy and back-up copies. In order to prepare for any delays, a project plan was drawn up, which takes these into consideration and allows the Group to react promptly. A detailed analysis of the requirements of the reporting standard has been carried out in order to identify any potential problem areas in good time and allow suitable preparatory steps to be taken. In the future, the internal control system for non-financial reporting will be further developed along the model of the internal control system for financial reporting.
PIERER Mobility AG is the parent company of the PIERER Mobility Group. It is one of Europe's leading motorcycle manufacturers, focusing on the premium segment. Until the initiation of the restructuring proceedings, the Group was broken down into the strategic core areas of (i) "Motorcycles", (ii) "Bicycles", (iii) "Design, R&D", (iv) "Digital Transformation, IT" and (v) "Motorsport." Its central motorcycle production sites are located in Austria, Italy and Spain. It also has strategic partnerships with companies in India (Bajaj) and China (CFMOTO). As at the reporting date of December 31, 2024, the Group had 5,310 employees, 4,805 of whom in Europe and 349 in North America (including Mexico). The exact distribution of the employees by country is shown in section S1-6.
The Group has a global, highly fragmented value chain. Central input parameters include materials, semi-finished products and finished products used, for example, for motorcycle assembly. The goods purchased primarily include products made of steel, aluminum, plastic and rubber. Multi-use racks and cardboard packaging are often used for packaging and shipment. Further information on material flows can be found in section E5-4. Due to the complexity of the upstream value chain, it is difficult to trace the purchased goods back to their source. However, the central process steps of the upstream value chain are raw material mining, processing into primary and secondary products, and transport and storage processes. Furthermore, the reprocessing of end-of-life products and their recirculation is part of the up- and downstream product value chains. The majority of the purchasing volume for the series production of motorcycles in Austria are located in Europe (85%). As an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer), the Group works closely with its (mostly longstanding) partners.
The Group provides its customers, investors and stakeholders value in the following areas:
In 2024, the majority of the Group's turnover was made in the motorcycle segment; for this reason, the focus of this sustainability report is on motorcycle assembly. The Group markets its products and services in numerous countries via a global network of dealers. Its largest sales markets are in Europe, North America (including Mexico) and India/Indonesia (via Bajaj). No material changes in the sales markets were seen in financial year 2024. In addition to the network of dealers, the Group works with numerous authorized dealers that are able to perform professional repairs and maintenance work and can therefore extend the working life of the vehicles. Once the products have reached the end of their life, it is assumed that they will be disassembled. Certain raw materials, for example metals, can then be returned to the material cycle.
One of the Group's primary sustainability goals is to contribute to decarbonization. To this end, work began in financial year 2024 on the development of a decarbonization strategy for internal business activities, taking into consideration the up- and downstream value chain. This includes company sites in various regions and greenhouse gas emissions from all three scopes of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG protocol). Due to the complex (and in some cases multistage), globally fragmented up- and downstream value chain, far-reaching impacts on business activities are expected, from a geographical perspective. The focus of the decarbonization strategy is on the motorcycle segment, which accounts for the largest share of GHG emissions. Motorcycle emissions reduction measures have already been implemented in the past, with for example, the development and market introduction of electric batterypowered vehicles. Another part of the business concept in 2024 was the marketing of bicycles and ebicycles, which constitute low-emission transport technology. However, the Group's sees its next steps toward decarbonization and the associated company developments as a challenge, for which additional measures will be required in the future. Some of these are described in E1-3. The sections under SBM-3 examine further sustainability risks and opportunities in the topical standards.
The presence of the products from the company's different divisions means that the Group has a range of stakeholders in the global market. Their interests and approaches are balanced as fairly as possible. The Group always strives to maintain a continuous dialog with its stakeholders.
The sustainability-related outcomes of the stakeholder dialog are taken into consideration in the Group's business processes and double materiality assessment and discussed in coordination meetings, as described in GOV-1 and GOV-2. The insights gained from this stakeholder involvement feeds into management decisions and plays a significant role in management action. From this, measures are derived, for example the long-term safeguarding of jobs, which underscore the role and profile of the Group as an attractive employer and one of the largest in the region; the successive reduction of emissions, in particular Scope 3 emissions, primarily in the usage phase of the motorcycles, as highlighted by the efforts made and initial steps taken to develop a decarbonization strategy; or correct and transparent governance of business relationships in the global markets in which the Group is active.

INCLUSION | PURPOSE | RESULTS |
|---|---|---|---|
| Employees and their representatives |
Employee appraisals, training, works meetings, employee representatives, information events, written and verbal business correspondence, intranet, PITBOARD |
PIERER Mobility places great value on the interests of its employees and endeavors to implement these where economically feasible. Respect for human and employment rights always has the highest priority and is taken into consideration in all processes. |
This inclusion gives employees and their representatives the opportunity to gain information about the latest developments and contribute their knowledge. Employee representatives are always involved in far-reaching decisions so that the employees' interests can be taken into consideration as effectively as possible. |
| User (end-user) |
Customer experience camps & adventure rallies, discussions with dealers, market research, test rides, software/tools, product data sheets, websites, Social media, written and verbal business correspondence |
Including users should lead to a better understanding of their expectations and requirements. At the same time, users gain information about developments that are relevant to them. |
Customer requirements and feedback feed into future product developments. Product quality and safety are of great importance. |
| Suppliers | Trade fairs, online tools, written and verbal business correspondence, supplier visits |
Suppliers constitute a key pillar of the Group's day-to day business. Through regular discussions, the suppliers receive the support they need, while the Group can ensure its requirements are met. Furthermore, suppliers constitute the interface with the upstream value chain. |
By holding discussions with suppliers, long-term business relationships can be established. If possible, a local procurement strategy should be prioritized. |
| Dealers | Trade fairs, product presentations, software solutions, written and verbal business correspondence |
Dealers form the interface with the end customers. The aim of the discussions here is to gain insights into the requirements of and challenges faced by the dealers as well as those of the customer. |
Due to their special position in the downstream value chain, dealers are a significant stakeholder group. They receive support through, for example, software solutions and financing options. |
| Capital market | Financial reports (semi-annual, annual), Annual General Meeting, ESG ratings, events and roadshows, personal discussions, membership of and collaboration on (inter)national initiatives (e.g. CIRA, IR-Club Schweiz), website, social media, written and verbal business correspondence, financial media |
The primary purpose of information transmission lies in the disclosure of (price- )relevant information for capital market representatives. |
Capital market representatives are informed of the latest developments as regards the Group multiple times throughout the year. In addition, the Investor Relations team is always available for any questions or issues. Capital market representa tives have the opportunity to communicate their interests and expectations at topic-specific and event-related meetings – this input is incorporated into the further development of communication tools/channels (e.g. reports, IR presentations, website). Through the provision of information for ESG ratings, capital market representa tives are able to develop an independent picture of the Group's performance – at the same time, active exchange (with rating agencies, peers, industry represen tatives) helps to improve the score. (further information on ratings can be found below this table). |

| Politicians, networks and associations |
Company representatives in networks and associations |
The Group is represented in various networks and associations in order to ensure an exchange of experience and knowledge with other companies and organizations. The aim is the mutual sharing of expertise and the use of synergies. |
European Association of Motorcycle Manufacturers (ACEM, Stefan Pierer is Vice-President); Presidency (Stefan Pierer) of the Federation of Upper Austrian Industry; at the PIERER Mobility Group sites, the management is in regular contact with relevant local/regional government officials and authorities (provision of company data, annual report and sustainability report); involvement in the association z.l.ö. – zukunft.lehre.österreich; cooperation with Hotspot (Lebensraum) Innviertel and Innovations- und Technologietransfer Salzburg; part of the regional advisory board at the Arbeitsmarktservice (AMS) in Braunau; cooperation with Arbeitsmedizinischer Dienst; Delta Academy at the University of Leoben (Stefan Pierer is a member of the management board); ESG activities are reinforced by membership of the "respACT Austrian Business Council for Sustainable Development". |
In its Code of Conduct (see section G1-1), the Group has established principles for fair, trusting and respectful cooperation and respect for human rights, both for itself and its business partners. The area of application of the Code of Conduct therefore includes the up- and downstream value chain and should help to protect workers in the value chain. No explicit inclusion of these workers took place. The interests and perspectives of the workers in the value chain are taken into consideration indirectly via the Value Chain Risk Analysis. Furthermore, they can also report their concerns to the Group via the whistleblower system. Further information on the workers in the value chain can be found in section ESRS S2. Consumers and end-users form a further key stakeholder group. Their interests feed into product and quality management, among other things, and therefore into the Group's business model. Attention is paid to the rights of consumers and end-users, including their human rights. Further information on how the Group handles consumers and end-users can be found in section ESRS S4.
ESG ratings are used to assess the sustainability performance of companies and institutions by considering their exposure to ESG risks and their impacts on the social and ecological environment.4 The scores in the table below show the sustainability performance ratings of the Group, as assessed by various ESG ratings agencies (the data from financial year 2023 were used as the basis for the rating). Further information on the ESG ratings can be found on the company website.5

During the double materiality assessment, 32 IROs were identified as being material. They are described in more detail in this non-financial statement. For improved readability, the IROs are presented in greater detail in the respective ESRS chapters. The IROs identified are mostly covered by the ESRS disclosure requirements. Individual, company-specific indicators have been used in a supplementary capacity and help to create a more comprehensive picture (these can be found in E1, E5, S1, S2, S4 and G1). This company-specific information has been identified separately in the chapters on the topical standards. No IROs were identified that were presented exclusively using company-specific information. The following IROs were assessed as material during the double materiality assessment:

The material IROs identified feed indirectly into the corporate strategy and business model. Further information on the action taken to handle the material IROs at the level of the administrative and management bodies can be found in sections GOV-1 and GOV-2. To date, no material changes have been made to the business model based on the IROs. The impact of material risks and opportunities on the business model was assessed by the Group's risk management as part of scenario analyses (e.g. the climate risk and vulnerability analysis) among others. The analyses focused on the short-term time horizon. In the case of long-term risks and opportunities, an additional analysis of their long-term influence on the business model was carried out. The respective influence of the individual risks and opportunities on the business model, and the way in which these and the material consequences are dealt with are shown in the respective descriptions in the chapters on the topical standards. For information on the general corporate strategy and resilience, see sections BP-2 and SBM-1. The current financial effects of the material risks and opportunities are mainly reflected in the income statement (primarily sales in the motorcycle segment, operating expenses) and the Group's capital expenditure and are validated as part of the risk assessment. As an example, in financial year 2024, the Group invested € 27.8 million in the research and development of alternative drive technologies in order to manage the impacts of IROs 03 and 04.
In addition, (potential) climate-related effects on the consolidated financial statements are evaluated. As stated in the 2024 consolidated financial statements under 7. "Estimates and discretionary decisions" in the Notes, climate-related factors, among others, are taken into account when assessing the impairment of assets.
In financial year 2024, the Group prepared a non-financial statement in line with the requirements of the ESRS for the first time. Although the 2023 materiality assessment was already based on the procedure given in the ESRS for determining material IROs, full transition took place in financial year 2024. The biggest change lay in identifying the relevant content of the IROs at a greater level of detail instead of the aggregated treatment of material topics that has been used to date. For this reason, it is only possible to conduct a limited comparison of the analyses and their outcomes. Financial year 2024 saw the following changes to the material topics and IROs compared with the previous year:
The materiality assessment is checked each year and amended if necessary to ensure it is up to date. The underlying inclusion of stakeholders (e.g. focus interviews) for determining IROs is planned for financial year 2027. This time scale may be shortened if required.
A double materiality assessment was carried out in 2024 to identify the material topics. It was split into the inside-out and the outside-in perspective. The inside-out perspective considers the influence of the Group on its surroundings and is based on an impact assessment conducted by the ESG management team. The outside-in perspective describes the influence of sustainability topics on the Group. Here, the focus was on financial risks and opportunities, taking into consideration dependencies, determined and assessed by the risk management team. In this way, sustainability risks were evaluated in the same way as other company risks. The survey process was integrated into the risk management process and derives from the knowledge gained. Throughout the materiality assessment process, regular exchanges took place between ESG and risk management to ensure that mutual influences could be taken into account.
During the context analysis, the up- and downstream value chains and the Group's internal activities and sites were evaluated as effectively as possible in order to determine potential IROs. In addition, analyses were conducted of the peer group and the requirements of sector-specific sustainability reporting standards. The stakeholders (e.g. employees, capital market) were incorporated into the process by means of focus interviews and technical discussions. The identification of IROs was based on the ESRS 1 AR 16 long list. The topics were supplemented with the knowledge gained from the context analysis. Furthermore, publicly available studies and analyses7 were used to identify IROs and assess these in a subsequent analytical step. This step was concluded via an initial selection of topics and IROs that are connected to the Group.
7 Natura 2000: https://natura2000.eea.europa.eu/; Key Biodiversity Areas: https://www.keybiodiversityareas.org/sites/search; Unesco World Heritage Convention: https://whc.unesco.org/en/interactive-map/; Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas: https://www.wri.org/data/aqueduct-water-risk-atlas; Swiss Re rds4c: https://identity.swissre.com/; CICES: https://cices.eu/; FEMA's international survey on motorcycle emissions: https://www.femamotorcycling.eu/wpcontent/uploads/documents\_library/web\_results\_emissions\_survey\_fema2021.pdf
The next step was an assessment of the materiality of the individual IROs. This assessment of the impacts examined the criteria of scale, scope, reversibility and probability, each on a five-stage scale, defined using qualitative and quantitative parameters. In the case of positive IROs, the reversibility criterion was omitted without being replaced. In the case of actual impacts or impacts relating to human rights, a probability of 100% was adopted.
The assessment of the risks and opportunities examined the scale and probability (likewise using a fivestage scale), taking into consideration both implications of the material impacts and dependency situations. The Group's risk management approach, which involved assessing risks and opportunities using various simulation models and distributions (e.g. binomial distribution, PERT distribution), formed the basis for the assessment. This ensures that sustainability risks are considered in the same way as other company risks. Both the impacts and the risks and opportunities were assessed specifically for the time horizons applicable in each case. The period with the highest assessment was decisive for the subsequent categorization into material and non-material IROs on the basis of a materiality threshold. To be classified as material, the topic from the inside-out or outside-in perspective merely needed to exceed the threshold for materiality. The internal controls described in GOV-5 were also applied for the double materiality assessment.

E1 – Climate change
As a manufacturer of motorized vehicles, the Group contributes to climate change through greenhouse gas emissions. A large proportion of these GHG emissions occur in the downstream value chain, specifically in the vehicle usage phase (Scope 3.11 of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, GHG protocol). When assessing the materiality of the GHG emissions, the Group took into consideration its GHG balances from previous years and used these to identify its primary emissions drivers. Further information on the current GHG balance can be found in section E1-6. Furthermore, external factors such as societal and regulatory change were also taken into consideration. When determining the climate-related physical risks, the Group used the climate risk and vulnerability analysis carried out at site level in financial year 2023. A dedicated software solution was used to analyze the physical climaterelated impacts (chronic and acute) on the business. The first step was to assess which physical climate risks (e.g. heat, heavy precipitation, flooding) could potentially impact the Group's operations. Potential losses include damage to the Group's infrastructure and production interruptions due to physical climate events. The Group's production-relevant locations (mainly plants and warehouses) and the locations of strategic partners were then analyzed with regard to their current and future exposure to physical climate risks. The periods up to 2030 and 2060 as well as the climate scenarios SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5 and SSP5- 8.5 were considered. The reasons behind selecting these time horizons and climate scenarios were, firstly, external factors, such as mandatory requirements in regulations or contracts. Secondly, these
horizons and scenarios provide a broadly diversified view of the potential risks, as marginal positions are considered in each case. The climate scenarios are defined as follows:8
During the analysis, potential exposure and existing remedial action were evaluated. As part of the analysis, potential exposure and existing mitigation measures were assessed. Impacts and mitigation measures were assigned to all identified physical climate risks. The already implemented mitigation measures significantly reduce the impact of the climate risks and no further action is required at this time. Climate-related transition risks and opportunities were incorporated into the risk management process over various time periods. Climate scenarios were not taken into consideration here as the risk management methods already provide for a differentiated view. However, the assessments took into account the current climate policy situation in the European Union, which is aligned with the Paris Agreement. The analysis focused on business activities that could potentially be affected, and is set to be further expanded in line with the development of the decarbonization strategy. The initial results are expected to be published in the sustainability statement for financial year 2025.
The presence of waste management systems was taken into consideration in the assessment of the IROs associated with pollution. The hazardous working and operating materials used were analyzed and split into substances of high concern and substances of very high concern. Preventative measures aimed at preventing these substances from leaking were examined, taking into consideration the various departments and stakeholders. The analysis focused on the Group's production sites in Mattighofen and Munderfing. Furthermore, all production sites were reviewed as to their distance from particularly valuable environmental areas9 . At sites located in the vicinity of such areas, supplementary protective measures had already been implemented in the past. Local communities were consulted at the Munderfing site via focus interviews.
The Group conducted a database-supported site analysis into potential water risks. Water management was analyzed in the light of the site's activities in areas of increased water risk. These were sites in India, the United States and the Philippines. The site in the USA is an office site. The site in the Philippines is an assembly site. Neither activity is water-intensive and therefore the impacts and risks were assessed as immaterial. At the strategic partner's site in India, the partner has implemented a comprehensive water management system. Local communities were only consulted at the Munderfing site via focus interviews. No significant IROs related to water and marine resources were identified.

The assessment of the impacts on biodiversity and ecosystems was based on a data-based10 site analysis conducted using multiple databases, which aimed to identify sites in the vicinity of particularly valuable environmental areas. One site (Varese, Italy) was identified as being in the vicinity of a particularly valuable environmental area. This site had already implemented sufficient measures to protect against possible impacts on the valuable environment, meaning that no negative impacts on the area are expected in the short-, medium- or long-term. In addition, the Group looked at the impacts of raw material extraction on biodiversity in the upstream value chain.
Dependency on ecosystem services was taken into consideration by risk management on the basis of the Common International Classification of Ecosystem Services (CICES) V.5.2.11 Dependency on ecosystem services 3.1.1.1 and 6.1.1.1 was identified. A serious deterioration in ecosystem services, in both the short- and long-term, is however considered to be unlikely and the dependency is therefore assessed as non-material. No further risks and opportunities were considered. Local communities were not consulted.
To determine material IROs in connection with the use of resources and the circular economy, the Group considered its various business activities and its resource inflows and outflows in the previous year. For its resource inflows, the manufacture of vehicles and inflows for metal casting were identified as relevant. The vehicles are also relevant in terms of the resource outflow and the circular economy. In financial year 2024, the Group procured various (raw) materials, including steel, aluminum, plastic and rubber. An analysis of the materials used by weight can be found in section E5-4. Local communities were not consulted.
With the exception of the management of supplier relationships, there are no significant, relevant differences between the Group's companies, sites or business activities in terms of business conduct. Consequently, no distinction was made by site, activity, sector or structure of the transaction for the purposes of determining material IROs in connection with business conduct as the possible governancerelated IROs at PIERER Mobility AG are holistically considered and defined by the legal department. In the analysis of the management of supplier relationships, the economic position of the respective companies was taken into consideration. IROs were identified specifically for those companies subject to restructuring proceedings.
In order to ensure comprehensive reporting, the ESRS data points were mapped with the material IROs.12 Data points to which no material IROs could be allocated were analyzed as to their relevance for the Group and its stakeholders and, where applicable, reported. An overview containing the disclosure requirements addressed in this non-financial statement can be found in the appendix of this non-financial statement. Furthermore, the non-financial statement contains information based on other EU legal regulations. The summary drawn up in this regard can be found in the appendix, too.

12 In this way, the requirements of ID 177 of the EFRAG SR TEG Meetings (July 1, 2024) in relation to the mapping of material topics with disclosure requirements were taken into consideration.
Within the framework of the EU Action Plan on Sustainable Finance, the redirection of capital flows into sustainable investments is a key objective. Considering this, the EU Taxonomy Regulation (Taxonomy Regulation, Regulation (EU) 2020/852) came into force in mid-2020 as a uniform and legally binding classification system that defines which economic activities are considered environmentally sustainable in the EU. In addition to this, the European Commission has also enacted various delegated regulations, in particular the "Disclosures Delegated Act" (EU) 2021/2178, the "Environmental Delegated Act" (EU) 2023/2486 (environmental objectives 3 to 6) and the "Climate Delegated Act" (EU) 2021/2139 in conjunction with (EU) 2023/2485 (environmental objectives 1 to 2).
The EU Taxonomy contains the following six environmental objectives:
When classifying economic activities, a distinction is made between taxonomy eligibility and taxonomy alignment. An economic activity is taxonomy-eligible if it is listed in the catalog of the Taxonomy Regulation and therefore has the potential to contribute to the achievement of one or more environmental objectives. For taxonomy alignment, the cumulative test and fulfillment of the following three conditions must be demonstrated:
The results of this classification are to be reported annually on a company-specific basis. This includes the disclosure of defined key performance indicators in relation to revenue, capital expenditure (CapEx) and operating expenditure (OpEx). As the requirements for sustainable economic activities for the respective environmental objectives of the Taxonomy Regulation have been published gradually, reporting relief measures were applied in previous financial years. For financial year 2024, taxonomy eligibility and taxonomy alignment are reported in full for all six environmental objectives for the first time.
Based on Article 8 (1) of the Taxonomy Regulation in conjunction with Section 243b and Section 267a of the Austrian Commercial Code (UGB), PIERER Mobility AG is obliged to apply the regulatory provisions of the Taxonomy Regulation. Pursuant to Section 245a (1) of the UGB, the consolidated financial statements of PIERER Mobility AG have been prepared in accordance with the IFRS as of reporting date December 31, 2024. The amounts used to calculate the revenue, CapEx and OpEx key performance indicators are based on the figures reported through full consolidation. Consequently, companies accounted for using the equity method are not included. The scope of consolidation is the same as that used for the financial reporting (for further information, see chapters II. "Scope of consolidation" and XII. "Group companies (schedule of equity holdings)" of the Notes).
The process for implementing the requirements pursuant to the Taxonomy Regulation is based on the assessment methodology used in financial year 2023. It includes criteria for clearly assigning the company's economic activities to the economic activities listed in the Taxonomy Regulation. In line with the principle of consistency of assessment, the methodology used in the previous year was continued for financial year 2024. This is reflected in the percentages of taxonomy-eligible or taxonomy-aligned revenue, capital expenditure and operating expenditure.
For financial year 2024, all environmental objectives were checked for taxonomy alignment for the first time. Due to investments, for example in the areas of waste management and building efficiency, new non-revenue-related economic activities were also identified (for example CE 2.7. "Sorting and material recovery of non-hazardous waste", CCM 7.5. "Installation, maintenance and repair of instruments and devices for measuring, regulation and controlling energy performance of buildings"). Furthermore, the company bicycles reported under operating expenditure could, for the first time, be classified as taxonomy-aligned (after full submission of evidence demonstrating alignment). They fall under economic activity CCM 6.4. "Operation of personal mobility devices, cycle logistics".
The Taxonomy Regulation requirements were processed primarily by the ESG Management department in collaboration with the Controlling, Accounting and Investor Relations departments. Additional departments were also involved where required (for example, Property Management, Quality Management and the Legal department). Taxonomy eligibility and alignment was ascertained in the following process steps:
Regulatory developments and clarifications regarding interpretation on the part of the EU may, in future, lead to a need for adjustment and corresponding explanations when reporting pursuant to the Taxonomy Regulation. In the event of any changes to the assessment methodology, the comparative figures from the previous period are also recalculated for the purposes of comparability.
The analysis of economic activities was split into the consideration of revenue-related and non-revenuerelated economic activities.
A key factor in analyzing and classifying the revenue-related activities, particularly in the Group's mobility sector, was differentiating the business model and the drive technology. The business model is divided up into "trade" and "manufacturing/assembly." If products were bought in and then resold without any significant change, they were assigned to the "trade" business model and accordingly reported as nontaxonomy-eligible (see section "Revenue-related economic activities"). Differentiating the drive technology into combustion engines and electric battery-powered vehicles is important for the assessment of taxonomy-alignment and is explained in more detail in section "Alignment conditions".
In the case of the PIERER Mobility Group, the following economic activities were analyzed:
The Group's business comprises the development, manufacture/assembly and sale of two-wheeled and four-wheeled motor vehicles. All activities directly related to this were assigned to the environmental objective "Climate change mitigation" and subsequently to economic activity CCM 3.3. "Manufacture of low carbon technologies for transport". The two-wheeled and four-wheeled motor vehicles were therefore classified as a taxonomy-eligible economic activity. The assignment to this economic activity does not include vehicles that are assembled by the Group's partners or purchased externally and have been identified as trade goods.
Another area of the Group's business is the trade in (electric) bicycles. These products are mostly purchased for trade purposes and were therefore not assigned to economic activity CCM 3.3. "Manufacture of low carbon technologies for transport". Following the sale of the Johansson cargo bike business on October 1, 2024, the cargo bikes were also completely excluded from the allocation.
Products that could not be directly assigned to an economic activity were classified as non-taxonomyeligible. This included, among other things, the sale of PG&A items purchased for trade purposes, as well as chassis components and their technical accessories (for example WP products), as they do not result in an improvement in environmental performance. Furthermore, the business activities include services in the areas of research and development, and digital transformation, which are primarily used for internal purposes. Services provided to third parties in these areas could not be assigned to any economic activity and were therefore reported as not being taxonomy-eligible. The motorsport business segment was also classified as non-taxonomy-eligible.
For financial year 2024, the following substantial revenue-related economic activities were therefore analyzed in relation to the Taxonomy Regulation:
| CODE | ECONOMIC ACTIVITY | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|---|
| CCM1) 3.3. | Manufacture of low carbon technologies for transport |
Assembly and sale of motor vehicles |
1) CCM: Climate change mitigation
The analysis of non-revenue-related economic activities is based initially on discussions with the specialist departments, focusing on Property Management. As part of the further analysis, the clear assignability of costs to the respective economic activity was verified in order to rule out double counting in the calculation.
For financial year 2024, the following substantial non-revenue-related economic activities were analyzed in relation to the Taxonomy Regulation:
| CODE | ECONOMIC ACTIVITY | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|---|
| CE1) 2.7.2) | Sorting and material recovery of non hazardous waste |
Karopack machine (see section E5-2) |
| CCM 6.4. | Operation of personal mobility devices, cycle logistics |
Company bicycles (bicycle leasing) |
| CCM 6.5. | Transport by motorbikes, passenger cars and light commercial vehicles |
Company vehicles (passenger cars) |
| CCM 6.6. | Freight transport services by road | Heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) |
| CCM 6.13.2) | Infrastructure for personal mobility, cycle logistics |
Bicycle racks, charging stations for pool e bicycles (see section E1-3) |
| CCM 7.4. | Installation, maintenance and repair of charging stations for electric vehicles in buildings (and parking spaces attached to buildings) |

1) CE: Transition to a circular economy
2) Identified as new economic activities in reporting year 2024.
In the previous year, the CAFM was assigned to the environmental objective "Transition to a circular economy" (economic activity CE 4.1. "Provision of IT/OT data-driven solutions"). Following a revaluation (for more information, see section E1-3), the CAFM was assigned in financial year 2024 to the environmental objective "Climate change mitigation" (economic activity CCM 7.5. "Installation, maintenance and repair of instruments and devices for measuring, regulation and controlling energy performance of buildings").
In order to assess the fulfillment of the technical screening criteria for a substantial contribution to the environmental objective "Climate change mitigation", the motor vehicles were classified by drive technology as either combustion engines or electric battery-powered vehicles for economic activity CCM 3.3. "Manufacture of low carbon technologies for transport". Vehicles in the motorcycle segment (vehicles belonging to Class L) make a substantial contribution to achieving the environmental objective simply with their CO2 exhaust emissions of 0 g of CO2-eq/km. By December 31, 2025, passenger vehicles (vehicles belonging to Class M1) may emit maximum CO2 emissions of 50 g of CO2/km to fulfill the requirements. Based on these screening criteria, only the electric battery-powered motorcycles of the Group make a substantial contribution to achieving the environmental objective.
The non-revenue-related economic activities for the environmental objective "Climate change mitigation" meet the relevant technical screening criteria for a substantial contribution to the environmental objective. Exceptions include company vehicles and trucks in the vehicle fleet (economic activities CCM 6.5. "Transport by motorbikes, passenger cars and light commercial vehicles" and CCM 6.6. "Freight transport services by road") and all activities from economic activity CCM 7.7. "Acquisition and ownership of buildings". It was not possible to report a taxonomy-aligned percentage for these three economic activities as either there was a lack of corresponding evidence or the requirements regarding a substantial contribution to the environmental objective could not be met.
The Karopack machine shreds cardboard waste and processes it for reuse as filling material for shipping. This can then replace the majority of the filling material formerly used, which must be purchased. The machine was assigned to economic activity CE 2.7. "Sorting and material recovery of non-hazardous waste" and fulfills the requirements for a substantial contribution to the environmental objective "Transition to a circular economy". Pursuant to Commission Notice C/2023/267, requirements arising from the technical screening criteria may be waived or considered to have been fulfilled if the economic activity does not fall within the scope of the formulated requirements. Following a detailed review of the Karopack machine (for example, analysis of activity and capacity), it was determined that the machine does not fall within the scope of the conclusions on the best available techniques (BAT) for waste treatment (Implementing Decision (EU) 2018/1147). Nevertheless, proper waste management was demonstrated via the internal waste management concept and practices.
The DNSH criterion was examined for all economic activities that fulfilled the technical screening criteria for a substantial contribution to an environmental objective.
To avoid significant harm to the environmental objective "Climate change adaptation", the PIERER Mobility Group carried out a climate risk and vulnerability analysis. In the course of the analysis, the climate impacts on the locations that are relevant to the economic activities were examined. First of all, the physical climate impacts were reviewed to assess their potential influence on the economic activities and climate projections were then used to identify current and future climate risks at the selected locations. Finally, the impacts on the economic activities and corrective measures were assigned. For more information, please refer to the section IRO-1. To be able to rule out any impairment of the other environmental objectives, the corresponding requirements were analyzed and information and evidence were provided if necessary. If no evidence is required or if the economic activity does not fall within the scope of the formulated requirements of the DNSH criterion, the requirement should be regarded as fulfilled.
The assessment of the DNSH criterion showed that the activities from the following economic activities met the requirements of the Taxonomy Regulation and that there was no substantially negative impact on any other environmental objective:
13 Reference to Commission Notice C/2023/267: Requirements of the DNSH criterion for the environmental objective "Pollution prevention and control" are deemed to be fulfilled as the activity does not fall within the scope of Implementing Decision (EU) 2018/1147 and the machine is not a plastics recycling facility.
14 Reference to Commission Notice C/2023/267: Requirements of the DNSH criterion for the environmental objectives "Transition to a circular economy" and "Pollution prevention and control" are considered to be fulfilled as the activities do not result in significant construction and demolition waste, nor in noise, dust, or pollutant emissions.
The Group was not fully able to provide the required evidence to meet the DNSH criterion relating to economic activity CCM 3.3. "Manufacture of low carbon technologies for transport". As a result, no taxonomy alignment was achieved for this economic activity.
Finally, it must be ensured that activities comply with the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, ILO Core Labor Standards and the International Bill of Human Rights. This is guaranteed via the PIERER Mobility Group's Code of Conduct, which lays down the framework conditions for the Group's business activities and forms the basis for any collaboration both within the Group and with external partners.
In addition, as part of its corporate due diligence, the Group addresses relevant risks, for example in relation to human rights (including child labor and forced labor, employment rights and consumer rights), bribery, attempted bribery and extortion, taxation and fair competition. These efforts extend across all company locations and the supply chains to identify and address potential impacts on these areas. Further information on PIERER Mobility AG's due diligence is available in section GOV-4.
All fully consolidated companies were included in the calculation of the key performance indicators pursuant to the Taxonomy Regulation. Double counting was avoided as the assignment to an economic activity took place either directly or on the basis of an appropriate breakdown.
The revenue KPI is the ratio of revenue from taxonomy-eligible or taxonomy-aligned economic activities in a financial year to total revenues in this financial year. The amounts reported under this item in the consolidated income statement represent the basis for revenue (denominator).
| REVENUES (€m) | 20231) | 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| From customer contracts | 2,647.9 | 1,866.9 |
| Other revenues | 13.3 | 12.1 |
| Total | 2,661.2 | 1,879.0 |
3) Amounts have been rounded in such a way that the row totals correspond to the grand total.
The total revenue in financial year 2024 of € 1,879.0 million (2023: € 2,661.2 million) (see chapter 3.1. "Group figures" in the management report on the consolidated financial statements 2024) forms the denominator for the Group's revenue KPI in accordance with the Taxonomy Regulation. A detailed analysis of the revenues was used to allocate the respective revenue to the taxonomy-eligible economic activities. The relevant allocated percentages form the numerator of the revenue from the taxonomyeligible economic activities for the financial year 2024.
Two- and four-wheeled motor vehicles, regardless of their drive technology, were assigned to economic activity CCM 3.3. "Manufacture of low carbon technologies for transport" and reported as taxonomyeligible. The calculation of taxonomy-eligible revenue did not include economic activities that could not be assigned to any of the economic activities listed in the Taxonomy Regulation and were therefore not considered to be taxonomy-eligible. This relates, for example, to the sale of vehicles from outsourced production or the trade in PG&A products. Taxonomy alignment for economic activity CCM 3.3. "Manufacture of low carbon technologies for transport" could not subsequently be determined because the alignment conditions were not fully met.
Compared with the previous year, there was a decrease in revenue in financial year 2024 of around 29% (for further details, see chapter 3.2. "Business development and analysis of earnings ratios" in the management report on the consolidated financial statements 2024). This had an impact on the amount of taxonomy-eligible revenue, but did not, however, have any material impact on the proportion of taxonomy-eligible revenue as a share of total PIERER Mobility AG revenue (2024: 62.36%, 2023: 64.48%).
The taxonomy-eligible or taxonomy-aligned CapEx indicates the proportion of capital expenditure (CapEx) that is either associated with taxonomy-eligible or taxonomy-aligned economic activities or with the acquisition of products and services from taxonomy-eligible or taxonomy-aligned economic activities.
In accordance with the Taxonomy Regulation, the basis for the capital expenditure (denominator) includes additions to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets before depreciation, amortization and any revaluations, and without any changes to the fair value. The denominator also includes additions to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets resulting from business combinations (application of IFRS (IAS 16, 38, 40, 41, IFRS 16) or national accounting policies if IFRS are not applied). Additions to goodwill are not to be included in the calculation.
| CAPITAL EXPENDITURE (€m) | 20231) | 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| IAS 16 Property, plant and equipment | 96.8 | 206.9 |
| IAS 38 Intangible assets | 170.5 | 204.7 |
| IFRS 16 Leases | 32.5 | 44.6 |
| Total | 299.8 | 456.2 |
1) The values for "IAS 16 Property, plant and equipment" and "IFRS 16 Leases" for financial year 2023 were adjusted in the table in reporting year 2024 due to a corrected assignment. The adjustments were minimal and did not result in any change in total capital expenditure in financial year 2023.
The denominator for the Group's CapEx KPI for financial year 2024 comprises additions to tangible and intangible assets and additions from capitalized rights of use to the aforementioned assets, amounting to € 456.2 million (2023: € 299.8 million) (see additions, changes in the scope of consolidation and transfers in Notes 24. "Intangible assets" and 25. "Plant, property and equipment"15). This includes additions from changes in the scope of consolidation, which amounted to € 193.9 million in financial year 2024 (2023: € 0.1 million) (for example MV Agusta; for details on the changes in the scope of consolidation, see Note 9. "Changes in the scope of consolidation"). This does not include additions from advance payments in respect of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets amounting to € 69.1 million (2023: € 32.6 million). However, related transfers to the tangible and intangible assets totaling € 47.4 million (2023: € 12.5 million) and € 9.6 million (€ 3.2 million), respectively, were included in the calculation.
To calculate the numerator, a detailed analysis of the capital expenditure of the denominator was conducted, in which the first step was to determine taxonomy eligibility through assignment of the capital expenditure to the economic activities. The second step was to assess the taxonomy-eligible capital expenditure for taxonomy alignment. The numerator includes capital expenditure for economic activities that are either associated with a taxonomy-eligible or taxonomy-aligned economic activity or constitute an acquisition of products and services from a taxonomy-eligible or taxonomy-aligned economic activity. Investments that could not be assigned to any economic activity (for example undeveloped land and daycare centers) were reported as non-taxonomy-eligible.
15 The amounts from transfers and changes in the scope of consolidation reported in notes 24. "Intangible assets" and 25. "Property, plant and equipment" to the consolidated financial statements 2024 cannot be directly reconciled to the denominator of the CapEx KPI. For example, in accordance with the Taxonomy Regulation, non-current assets held for sale from transfers and disposals from changes in the scope of consolidation were not included in the denominator of the CapEx KPI.
Investments associated with economic activity CCM 3.3. "Manufacture of low carbon technologies for transport" include all activities related to a revenue-generating activity. These include, for example, production facilities, operational and business equipment, capitalized research and development costs, and tools. Investments that were directly assigned to a non-taxonomy-eligible revenue-related activity (for example motorsport, PG&A) were classified as non-taxonomy-eligible investments. Investments associated with bicycles were, as in the previous year, identified as taxonomy-eligible, as it would be possible to record them as taxonomy-eligible revenue if the company produced them itself. Due to the incomplete fulfillment of the alignment conditions, it was not possible to record any taxonomy-aligned percentages for the capital expenditure associated with the manufacture of motor vehicles.
Likewise, no taxonomy alignment could be recorded for investments in the fields of transport by motor vehicles (economic activities CCM 6.5. "Transport by motorbikes, passenger cars and light commercial vehicles" and CCM 6.6. "Freight transport services by road") and CCM 7.7. "Acquisition and ownership of buildings", as the alignment conditions were not fully met.
All activities from the following economic activities make a substantial contribution to the environmental objective "Climate change mitigation" and were recorded as taxonomy-aligned following a successful review of the alignment conditions:
The Karopack machine, which was assigned to economic activity CE 2.7. "Sorting and material recovery of non-hazardous waste", makes a substantial contribution to the environmental objective "Transition to a circular economy". Capital expenditure for the Karopack machine was recorded as taxonomy-aligned as the alignment conditions were met.
The comparison of the financial years 2023 and 2024 shows an increase in investments for the denominator pursuant to the Taxonomy Regulation, primarily attributable to additions through business combinations. When considering the percentages of taxonomy-eligible capital expenditure in the total denominator capital expenditure, there is a slight drop in the proportion of non-taxonomy-aligned CapEx in comparison with the previous year (2024: 93.00%, 2023: 94.07%), while the proportion of taxonomyaligned CapEx rose slightly (2024: 0.87%, 2023: 0.30%).
The taxonomy-eligible or taxonomy-aligned OpEx indicates the proportion of operating expenditure (OpEx) within the meaning of the Taxonomy Regulation that is either associated with taxonomy-eligible or taxonomy-aligned economic activities or with the acquisition of products and services from taxonomyeligible or taxonomy-aligned economic activities.
Pursuant to the Taxonomy Regulation, the basis for the operating expenditure (denominator) includes the direct, non-capitalized costs of research and development, building renovation measures, short-term leases, service and repair, and all other direct expenses for the ongoing maintenance of property, plant and equipment by the company or third parties that are necessary to ensure the ongoing and effective functioning of these assets (e.g., cleaning costs).
| OPERATING EXPENDITURE (€m) | 2023 | 20241) |
|---|---|---|
| Short-term leasing | 26.0 | 34.3 |
| Maintenance and repair | 21.1 | 17.8 |
| All other direct expenditure related to the daily maintenance of fixed | ||
| property, plant, and equipment | 2.7 | 2.7 |
| Total | 49.8 | 54.8 |
1) Amounts have been rounded in such a way that the row totals correspond to the grand total.
For the calculation of the denominator for the Group's OpEx KPI, operating expenditure for short-term rent and short-term leasing, maintenance and repair expenses and all cleaning costs were included as other direct expenses associated with the daily maintenance of fixed property, plant and equipment. Operating expenditure for the denominator amounts to € 54.8 million for financial year 2024 (2023: € 49.8 million).
The numerator was derived from the analysis of the expenses from the accounts specified for the denominator and their assignment to the economic activities, which first enabled the determination of taxonomy eligibility. The taxonomy-eligible operating expenditure was then assessed for taxonomy alignment. The same assessment methodology and logic was used as for the capital expenditure.
The largest proportion of taxonomy-eligible operating expenditure is associated with economic activity CCM 3.3. "Manufacture of low carbon technologies for transport", as these costs ensure the ongoing functioning of the company. Furthermore, costs for short-term leasing in the area of transport by motor vehicles (economic activities CCM 6.5. "Transport by motorbikes, passenger cars and light commercial vehicles" and CCM 6.6. "Freight transport services by road") and costs linked to the maintenance of the associated vehicles were classified as taxonomy-eligible. No taxonomy-aligned percentages could be recorded for the taxonomy-eligible operating expenditure of the three economic activities as either there was a lack of corresponding evidence or they did not fulfill the requirement of substantial contribution to an environmental objective.
Costs arising from the acquisition of company bicycles for employees (bicycle leasing), which are classified as low-value assets, were reported as operating costs and assigned to economic activity CCM 6.4. "Operation of personal mobility devices, cycle logistics". With this economic activity, the Group made a substantial contribution to the environmental objective "Climate change mitigation". In financial year 2024, all necessary evidence to meet the alignment conditions was provided for the company bicycles, representing a change compared to the previous year.
In comparison with financial year 2023, there were no material changes to the amounts in reporting year 2024. When considering the percentages of taxonomy-eligible operating expenditure in the total denominator operating expenditure, there is a slight drop in the proportion of non-taxonomy-aligned OpEx in comparison with the previous year (2024: 90.34%, 2023: 91.63%), while the proportion of taxonomy-aligned OpEx rose slightly (2024: 0.67%, 2023: 0.00%).

The analysis of the impact of climate change on the Group's strategy and business model was integrated into the Group's risk management. In this process, two significant transition risks were identified that may have an impact on the Group's business model (see IRO 03 and IRO 04). Here, analysis processes as described in ESRS 2 SBM-3 and IRO-1 were applied. In addition, a climate risk and vulnerability analysis was carried out for the Group's production sites, which assessed physical climate risks with regard to three climate scenarios over two time periods. The analysis focused on producing business activities. Further information can be found in IRO-1 Additions due to the topical requirements for the materiality assessment and E1-Climate change. The analysis considered various physical climate risks that could have an impact on the Group's locations or its business activities (e.g. heatwaves, river flooding). In a further step of the analysis, the potential impact of physical climate risks on the Group and existing mitigation measures were taken into account. These significantly reduce the potential impact of physical climate risks, meaning that no further action is required for the time being and no significant risk has been identified.
The environmental policy provides the framework for environmentally friendly behaviour within the Group. It is regularly updated and published on the PIERER Mobility AG website, where it can be accessed at any time by internal and external stakeholders.16 The environmental policy was developed within the framework of the ISO 14001:2015-certified environmental management system and applies to defined companies at the Mattighofen, Munderfing and Schalchen sites. Top-level responsibility lies with the Executive Board of KTM AG. The environmental policy covers topics such as managing resources, committing to comply with legal regulations (environmental, occupational health and safety, and climate laws, ordinances, regulations and official requirements), incorporating ecological criteria in procurement, and addressing greenhouse gas emissions over the entire product life cycle. (IRO 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08)
VMG produced premium-quality aluminum cast parts. VMG's quality and environmental policy covered how the company handled environmental and climate-relevant matters, its compliance with high quality demands and meeting customer expectations. VMG's environmental management was ISO 14001:2015 certified and managed by an appointed person for this purpose. Top-level responsibility for this lies with the VMG company management. The policy was accessible on the company's website. (IRO 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08)
The environmental report accessible on the Intranet covers the KTM AG company sites falling within the scope of ISO 14001 and is regularly updated. The report describes the environmental performance of the certified companies in relation to, for example, material flows, energy management and emissions into the environment. Objectives, measures and principles of action to improve environmental performance are defined. Top-level responsibility for the internal environmental report lies with the Executive Board of KTM AG. The report is drawn up by Group quality management. (IRO 01, 03, 05, 08)
The Group Code of Conduct forms the basis for a responsible and ethical corporate culture. It applies to all employees, managers and board members, as well as business partners, suppliers, customers and consultants (together referred to as "business partners"). It is also the basis for the business relationships with all business partners (in particular suppliers) and is an integral part of the contract. It describes, among other things, the Group's fundamental approach to sustainability, environmental and climate protection, and animal welfare. Further information on the Code of Conduct (such as its availability, scope of application and relevant responsibilities) can be found in section G1-1. (IRO 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08)

In financial year 2024, it was not possible to quantify the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions expected and achieved as a result of the measures taken. This quantification will be established as part of the development of the transition plan for climate change and is therefore expected to be published in financial year 2025. Financial, personnel, organizational and material resources were made available for the management of the material IROs associated with climate change and climate change adaptation in order that the measures listed could be initiated or implemented.
As greenhouse gas emissions increase in the Earth's atmosphere and climate change advances at pace, the Group is well aware of its responsibility to contribute to decarbonization. The Group is committed to embracing new technology and is conducting research to develop new systems with lower greenhouse gas emissions and reduce the emissions of its current systems. (IRO 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06)
• Exchangeable battery systems: As part of the Group, KTM Forschungs & Entwicklungs GmbH continues its commitment as a founding member of the Swappable Batteries Motorcycle Consortium (SBMC). The consortium aims to make it easier to use L-category lightweight electric vehicles with swappable batteries and to promote the development and use of the charging infrastructure required for this. Common battery specifications facilitate the introduction of swappable battery stations. This is seen as key to the development of low-voltage electric mobility. While activities in 2023 primarily focused on building and validating functional prototypes, those for 2024 covered the transfer of the development results into standardization activities at CEN and ISO level. Another focus point was on preparing for field tests in collaboration with battery manufacturers and operators of battery-changing stations. The KTM research department is also a partner of the "Stan4SWAP" project supported by the EU as part of "Horizon Europe." One of the aims of this project is to draw up a standardization roadmap for battery-changing systems in L-category vehicles by November 2025.
The Group has been researching alternative drive technologies, such as electric battery-powered vehicles, for many years. The Group sells these under its KTM, Husqvarna and GASGAS core brands. Here, the research and development activities are broken down into High Volt (> 60 Volt) and Low Volt (< 60 Volt). In financial year 2024, accrued development costs for electric battery-powered vehicles were allocated to economic activity "3.3 Manufacture of low carbon technologies for transport" pursuant to the EU Taxonomy Regulation and reported as taxonomy-compliant. (IRO 02, 03, 04)
Work to implement the EU5+ emissions standard for the Group's offroad and street motorcycles was completed. From financial year 2025 onwards, all newly registered vehicles in Europe will meet the EU5+ requirements. (IRO 02, 03, 06)
In order to reduce climate and environmental impacts at its sites, the Group is taking measures to increase energy efficiency and promote the use of renewable energy. These activities focus on the Group's sites in Mattighofen, Munderfing and Schalchen, although measures will also be implemented at its other sites. (IRO 01, 02, 03, 05, 07, 08)
Increases in efficiency are one of the key ways of reducing GHG emissions and the use of resources. In financial year 2024, the following measures were implemented (IRO 01, 02, 03, 05, 08):
With the development of the decarbonization strategy, the Group is establishing targets related to climate change mitigation and adaptation. The strategy and targets are expected to be published in financial year 2025. The effectiveness of the policies and actions in relation to the material IROs is monitored individually by the responsible departments. However, there is not yet an overarching procedure for monitoring effectiveness.

The average CO2 emissions of the reported motorcycle fleet of 325,907 units were 96.12 g/km17 in financial year 2024 (internal calculation by PIERER Mobility AG). Non-road-legal models were also included for the first time, which resulted in an observed increase in average consumption compared to the previous year. Excluding the non-road-legal models led to average emissions of 79.01 g/km (2023: 80.11 g/km). This therefore represents a 2.77% reduction in CO2 emissions of road-legal models compared with base year 2016 (2023: 1.42%). A comparison of the entire fleet, including non-road-legal models, is not possible because non-road-legal models were not recorded for the base year. The average fuel consumption for road-legal models in comparison with 2023 fell by 0.05 l/100 km, sitting at 3.37 l/100 km in fuel consumption in financial year 2024.18 The average fleet consumption for all models was 4.13 l/100 km. The fleet consumption of road-legal models fell by 3.63% compared with base year 2016 (2016: 3.5 l/100 km).

| The PIERER Mobility Group's energy consumption and mix (E1-5 37 a-c, 38 a-e, 39) |
Due to the complexity of the company structure, a bimodal approach was used to calculate energy consumption values. Consumption values and activities at the sites of the most relevant subsidiaries (selection criteria: number of employees > 49 on reporting date 12/31/2024 or producing company) were recorded directly. Consumption values and activities at the sites of all other subsidiaries were calculated by extrapolation based on the data collected of internally comparable companies. Where the available consumption and activity data were incomplete, these were also determined by extrapolation. Energy consumption values of associates and investments were not included in the calculation. |
|---|---|
| Depending on the site, the data collected were based on invoices or meter readings as well as internal evaluations. Care was taken to use comparable companies as a basis for the extrapolations. Consumption at VMG and the Graz site was estimated on the basis of the previous year's figures. Due to changes in the scope of consolidation, VMG was only included in the balance sheet of the Group for three months. |
|
| CO2 emissions and fuel consumption of products pursuant to WMTC cycle (company-specific disclosure) |
The calculation for CO2 emissions and fuel consumption of the sold vehicle fleet is based on the specifications and assumptions of the World-Harmonized Motorcycle Test Cycle (WMTC). This method was chosen because it provides a globally harmonized approach. Previously, the calculations were based on the specifications and assumptions of the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) or the voluntary commitment of the ACEM (European Association of Motorcycle Manufacturers). When the WMTC test cycle and the EURO 4 emissions standard were introduced on January 1, 2016, the reporting year 2016 was chosen as the base year. To allow better understanding, the vehicle consumption is not stated in joules, but as usual in l/100 km. Non-road-legal models were taken into account in the calculation for the first time in financial year 2024. |
| Energy intensity of activities in high climate impact sectors (E1-5 40) |
The ESRS classification was followed to determine the energy intensity per net revenue in connection with activities in high climate impact sectors. In line with this, sectors in sections A to H and section L of Regulation (EU) 2022/1288 are considered to be high climate impact. When considering these sections and analyzing the Group's revenue-related economic activities, it is apparent that these activities generate external revenue in sectors specified in sections C (manufacturing), G (wholesale and retail trade; repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles) and L (real estate activities). The relevant business areas were taken into consideration in the assessment. This assessment included activities connected with manufacturing or trade, for example consumption in research and development. Therefore, only the subsidiaries Avocodo GmbH and PIERER Innovation GmbH were classified as non-climate-intensive. Due to a different segment definition in the financial reporting, a direct reconciliation is not possible. Net revenue can be found in section III "Segment reporting" of the Notes. |
| DATAPOINT, DISCLOSURE |
DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
| Gross GHG emissions, general disclosures |
The provisions of the GHG protocol formed the basis for calculating the Group's greenhouse gas emissions (GHG emissions). Particular attention was paid to the use of emission factors, which look at the climate-changing greenhouse gases CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs, SF6 and NF3, collectively referred to as CO2e. Further information on the emission factors used can be found in direct connection with the scopes. |
| Due to the complexity of the company structure, a bimodal approach to calculating GHG emissions was used, similar to that used for energy requirements (E1-37 a-c, 38a-e, 39). GHG emissions of associates were taken into consideration in the balance sheet, with a distinction made between companies with and without operational control, taking into account the position of the companies in the up- and downstream value chain. Investments (<20% equity holding) without operational control and that are not part of the Group's value chain were not considered to be material to the GHG balance sheet and therefore not taken into consideration. |
|
| Data accuracy and outcome certainty: Due to the use of extrapolation, average sector data and emission factors, the GHG balance sheet is subject to a certain level of inaccuracy. The assumptions made are described in greater detail in the sections below. |
|
| Scope 1 greenhouse gas emissions (E1-6 48a-b, 50a-b) |
Scope 1 GHG emissions include the Group's direct emissions (combustion processes). This includes emissions from local heating systems, test benches, coolants and the Group's vehicle fleet. Emission factors developed by the UK Government Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) were used to calculate the GHG emissions. The Scope 1 balance sheet also takes into consideration emissions subject to regulated emissions trading schemes. This relates to only 0,19% of total Scope 1 GHG emissions. For these emissions, the emission factor used in the emissions trading scheme was used. Biogenic emissions were taken into account through the choice of emission factors or calculated separately (e.g. pellets). The latter amounted to 12.03 tonnes of CO2e. |
| Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions (E1-6 49a-b, 50 a-b) |
The Scope 2 GHG emissions were determined using both market-based and location based methods. These emissions sources include the Group's power consumption. Where possible, attention was paid to ensure the use of market-specific emission factors for the market-based method. It was contractually established to a certain extent at the Group's Austrian sites that energy comes from renewable sources. In some cases, the electricity source is not governed by contract, but the energy provider subsequently reports the power provided as renewable. The market-based emission factors were adjusted correspondingly. Market-based emission factors were not available for the other sites, as a result of which the emission factors of the location based method were used. Location-based emission factors were used for 23% of consumed energy (in kWh) under the market-based method. For the location-based method, the DESNZ emission factors and factors from the Industrial Design & Engineering MATerials database (IDEMAT) were used. The database does not show the proportion of biogenic emissions separately so these cannot be reported separately. |
| Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions (E1-6 51) |
The calculation of the Scope 3 GHG emissions is based on the PIERER Mobility Group's activity data and associated emissions in the up- and downstream value chain. No specific emissions data (0%) from suppliers were used to calculate the Scope 3 GHG emissions. Biogenic emissions are reported. After estimating the GHG emissions per sub-scope, a materiality threshold of 1% of total Scope 3 GHG emissions was set. This meant that only sub-scopes that accounted for more than 1% of the Scope 3 GHG emissions were reported and included in the overall balance. In addition, the relevance of the sub-scopes for individual companies was taken into account and these were identified as not material for some divisions. |
| 3.1 Purchased goods and services |
When determining the GHG emissions in connection with purchased goods and services, a method was used that differentiates between series purchasing for motorcycle production and non-series purchasing. In addition, flows of goods purchased for trade purposes were recorded by means of quantitative extrapolation. The GHG emissions from series purchasing were calculated based on groups of goods with DESNZ and IDEMAT emission factors and factors developed by the German Federal Office for Economic Affairs and Export Control (BAFA) (average data method). Due to the complex calculations, information by group of goods for the KTM Group is not available at the time of publication of this report. As a result, the relevant GHG emissions were calculated on the basis of data from the previous year and adjusted using production quantities. The expenditure-based approach was selected to calculate |
| emissions for non-series purchasing, using the emission factors developed by the UK Government Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA).20 |
|
|---|---|
| 3.2 Capital goods | GHG emissions from capital goods were calculated using the spend-based approach on the basis of CapEx data (excluding leases). DEFRA emission factors were used for this purpose. |
| 3.3 Fuel and energy related activities (not included in Scope 1 or 2) |
Scope 3.3 was not considered material. Emissions were less than 1% of total Scope 3 GHG emissions. |
| 3.4 Upstream transportation and distribution |
GHG emissions from transport and logistics processes were calculated using the spend-based approach on the basis of the corresponding cost. DEFRA emission factors were used for this purpose. |
| 3.5 Waste generated in operations |
Scope 3.5 was not considered material. Emissions were less than 1% of total Scope 3 GHG emissions. |
| 3.6 Business travel | Scope 3.6 was not considered material. Emissions were less than 1% of total Scope 3 GHG emissions. |
| 3.7 Employee commuting |
The estimated GHG Emissions were less than 1% of total Scope 3 GHG emissions. |
| 3.8 Upstream leased assets |
GHG emissions from the operation of leased assets are already included in Scope 1 and 2. |
| 3.9 Downstream transportation and distribution |
No relevant downstream transportation of the Group's products takes place. Emerging emissions are assigned to the product usage phase (Scope 3.11) or are reported under Scope 3.4. |
| 3.10 Processing of sold products |
No relevant processing of sold products takes place. In accordance with the GHG protocol, no emissions are reported in this category. |
| 3.11 Use of sold products |
Emissions from motorcycles, e-bikes and cars sold were calculated. For the motorcycles, the energy requirement in l/100 km or kWh/100 km is recorded directly using the WMTC cycle. DESNZ emission factors were used, with particular attention paid to recording well-to-wheel emissions. GHG emissions from e-bikes and cars were calculated using the average data method with Mobitool (v 3.0) emission factors. In some cases, assumptions were made regarding the lifetime mileage of the vehicles in order to calculate GHG emissions in the product usage phase. For non-homologated vehicles, assumptions were also made regarding consumption in l/100 km or kWh/100 km. |
| 3.12 End-of-life treatment of sold products |
Scope 3.12 was not considered material. Emissions were less than 1% of total Scope 3 GHG emissions. |
| 3.13 Downstream leased assets |
The offering of leased goods by the Group is not a material line of business. Any income resulting from this is low compared to the total revenue, and therefore, Scope 3.13 is not considered to be material and any resulting GHG emissions are not reported. |
| 3.14 Franchises | The Group has no franchising. Consequently, no GHG emissions are reported for this sub-scope. |
| 3.15 Investments | GHG emissions of associates without operational control with equity holdings ≥ 20% (see BP-1) were combined under Scope 3.15. GHG emissions for Kiska GmbH and LX media GmbH were recorded using a key based on headcount and included proportionately in the Group balance sheet. To calculate the GHG emissions of Zhejiang CFMOTO-KTMR2R Motorcycle Co., Ltd, Hangzhou City, a key was calculated on the basis of the quantities produced and emissions reported proportionately. Scope 3.15 was not considered material. Emissions were less than 1% of total Scope 3 GHG emissions. |
| Greenhouse gas intensity of the products (E1-6 54) |
To calculate the GHG intensity per net revenue, the total GHG emissions (location based and market-based) were used, taking into consideration all units of business as denominators. The numerators are composed of the total net revenue as given in section III. "Segment reporting" of the Notes. |

The Code of Conduct forms the basis for a responsible and ethical corporate culture and is binding for employees, managers, board members and business partners. It describes, among other things, the Group's fundamental approach to conflict minerals, chemicals and hazardous substances. Further information on the Code of Conduct (such as its availability, scope of application and relevant responsibilities) can be found in section G1-1. (IRO 09, 10, 11)
The environmental policy drawn up as part of the ISO 14001 certification and the associated internal environmental report describe how the Group monitors material flows and handles resources. Further information (such as availability, key contents, scope of application and relevant responsibilities) can be found in section E1-2. The same applies to the quality and environmental policy of the Group's aluminum foundry VMG. (IRO 09, 11)
So far, the Group's policies do not specifically address the shift away from the use of primary raw materials, including the increased use of secondary (recycled) resources.
Group company VMG does not use materials produced illegally or under ethically objectionable conditions. This is laid down in its guideline on responsible procurement of raw materials. Likewise, it does not use raw materials with conflict minerals subject to embargoes or import restrictions. The guideline, which is accessible internally, was under the responsibility of the VMG management. (IRO 09)
Conservation of natural resources is a multifaceted process that can be looked at from various perspectives: product design, use of materials and the process to be followed. The design of the Group's bikes and motorcycles fosters their repairability and recyclability. By replacing or maintaining individual components, product usage can be extended. The owner's manuals for the products provide customers and workshops with information about the service intervals to be observed. In addition, authorized workshops receive regular training on how to correctly perform the work required. Further information on this can be found in section S4 Figures and Targets. Using alternative raw materials (for example recycled plastics) can promote the circular economy.
The Group endeavors to consider the impact of its products on the climate and environment at the design stage and throughout their life cycle. This means it creates more durable, easily repairable products that can, where possible, be broken down into reusable or recyclable parts and materials at the end of their useful life. (IRO 09, 10, 11)
Resources such as energy and metals are used in the development and manufacture of motorcycle components and in their assembly. The Group is continuously taking measures to reduce its resource consumption.
The use of multi-use containers at the Vöcklabruck production site has also helped to promote the circular economy in the field of packaging. Selected supplied products were delivered in multiuse containers. The aluminum cast parts were transported in multi-use containers (gitterboxes and pallet boxes on Euro pallets) internally and even when they left the site. (IRO 09, 10, 11)
• Energy-saving measures are described in more detail in section E1-3.
In order to reduce the procurement risk, the Group has defined the use of "second sources" in its purchasing strategy for certain groups of goods. The aim here is to diversify the supply chain. The purchasing strategy is supplemented by multiple goods group strategies, which are set to be further developed over the course of financial years 2024 and 2025. The Group also carries out supplier risk assessments of tier-1 suppliers, the results of which are incorporated into the product group strategies. (IRO 10)
To date, no targets have been set for the IROs relating to resource use and circular economy. The effectiveness of the policies and actions in relation to the material IROs is monitored individually by the responsible departments. However, there is not yet an overarching procedure for monitoring effectiveness.

One of the Group's core activities is the assembly of two- and four-wheel vehicles. Both means of transport have a multi-year working life under normal usage and can be repaired and dismantled. In this way, a large amount of the materials used can be returned to the cycle. Particular attention is paid to lightweight construction for both motorcycles and cars. The Group's product range also includes (e-)bikes and IT solutions.
The expected working and useful life of the Group's vehicles depends on the way customers use and maintain the vehicles and can therefore vary widely. In the case of street motorcycles, the Group expects a lifetime mileage of around 70,000 kilometers. This figure is around 10,000 kilometers for offroad motorcycles. In the case of e-bikes, a lifetime mileage of 10,000–12,000 kilometers is expected. Similar values can be seen in industry comparisons. The industry comparison values are based on estimates and online research and are therefore subject to great uncertainty. The expected lifetime mileage of one of the Group's cars is around 14,000 kilometers. It is not possible to conduct an industry comparison here because there are barely any comparable products (road-legal high-performance sports cars) on the market. The Group's vehicles can be repaired easily. Spare parts are available. The Group's trained network of dealers and workshops also helps to extend the working life of the products. Further information on this can be found in section S4-4 and the associated figures and targets. Around xx% of products and their packaging (multi-use packaging not included here) can be recycled.

| ESRS DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENT |
PARAGRAPH | DATAPOINT, DISCLOSURE |
CALCULATION PRINCIPLES AND ASSUMPTIONS |
|---|---|---|---|
| Materials used by weight (entity-specific disclosure) |
The Group performs a material flow analysis annually to determine the materials used for motorcycle series production at its Mattighofen, Munderfing and Schalchen sites. Due to the complexity of the data, they will not be available until part-way through the next year. For this reason, the reported material flows were extrapolated on the basis of the quantities produced. In addition, material flows for motorcycles that were produced at other sites or procured externally, and the X-BOWs offered by the Group, were extrapolated based on quantities. Material flows in connection with supporting business processes and those due to bicycle trade (quantity-based extrapolation) were added. Non-series purchasing was not considered to be material in this context and was therefore not taken into consideration in this configuration. |
||
| E5-4 | 30 | Description of resource inflows |
For the method used to record the total weight of products and materials used, please refer to the entity-specific disclosure "materials used by weight". |
| Primary data on the upstream value chain could not be included due to the complexity of the value chain. Attempts have been made to obtain a more comprehensive overview of the value chain by means of the Value Chain Risk Analysis. However, this has not yet been finalized. |
|||
| Information on the proportion of sustainably sourced biological materials could not be reported. To be classified as sustainable, a raw material must be certified in accordance with a recognized certification system. Due to the aggregation of the resource inflows at goods group level, this detailed assessment and subsequent reporting of the proportion of sustainably sourced biological materials was not possible. |
|||
| The reported value for reused or recycled components represents the proportion of secondary aluminum and secondary steel. The German aluminum/steel mix was used for this calculation. The proportion reported is therefore subject to a high degree of outcome uncertainty. |
|||
| E5-5 | 36a | Expected durability |
The expected durability of the vehicles marketed by the Group was estimated based on test data (e.g. working life of the engines) and assessments from customer service. The disclosures relating to the value chain are based on estimates and online research and are therefore subject to a high degree of outcome uncertainty. For cars, no comparison values are given as there are hardly any comparable products (road-legal high-performance sports cars) on the market. For IT solutions, the disclosure was not considered to be relevant. |
| E5-5 | 36b | Reparability | The vehicles marketed by the Group can be repaired easily. Spare parts are available. |
| E5-5 | 36c | Recyclable proportion of products and packaging |
The materials steel, aluminum, plastic and cardboard have been classified as recyclable and their proportions in products and packaging have been reported accordingly. |

23 No policies, measures or targets have been established in relation to the temporary reduction of working hours and pay, as the impact of this change will only be
temporary. 24 Further information about the gender pay gap, including the calculation method, can be found in S1-16.
The Group's workforce was taken into account when determining material impacts, risks and opportunities and in the reporting for "ESRS 2 General disclosures". Potentially affected own workers were identified in the course of the double materiality assessment (see IRO-1), in which both the activities and the working environment were taken into account, as well as the characteristics of the workforce. Among other measures, discussions were held with personnel management experts and employee representatives during the assessment, in order to gain a better understanding of the potential impacts. There have been no negative impacts on own workers as a result of transition plans for reducing negative impacts on the environment and achieving greener and more climate-neutral operations, as the Group has not yet finalized transition plans (see also section E1-1). On the reference date of December 31, 2024, the Group employed a total of 5.310 people, 2.129 of which are blue-collar workers and 3.358 of which are white-collar workers. By the end of financial year 2024, all but four temporary workers in the Group had been reduced, meaning that IRO 12 in particular also applies to this group of employees. Further information about the workforce can be found in section "S1-6 Characteristics of the undertaking's employees".
A special situation has arisen at the PIERER Mobility Group as a result of the restructuring proceedings initiated in November 2024 under the responsibility of its core holding KTM AG (and two subsidiaries). A restructuring plan had to be agreed with creditors within 90 days (by the end of February 2025). The continued existence of the Group was to be secured through a reduction in size. During the restructuring, there was a reduction in production volume and number of employees, which could lead to uncertainties and dissatisfaction among the Group's own workforce.
The Group has defined the following policies with regard to the IROs in connection with its workforce. The Group respects human rights and promotes fair working conditions. Employees can contact their managers, the works council, company doctors, occupational psychologists, the HR or legal department or safety specialists at any time or can communicate via the whistleblower system.
The Group strives to create a working environment in which employees are optimally protected from risks to their health or injury by means of suitable measures and processes. The Occupational Health and Safety Policy covers the most important principles and measures for protecting the health of its employees. In addition, numerous safety training sessions and courses have been introduced to maintain a high level of safety and to prevent accidents at work. The Occupational Health and Safety Policy is available on the Group's website.25 The Health & Safety team is responsible for the targeted further development of occupational health and safety initiatives for KTM AG employees. It is supported by safety experts and occupational health and psychology specialists. At the top level, the Executive Board or management is responsible for implementing the policy.
Occupational health and safety at the Vöcklabruck production site (aluminum casting) was based on the principle of preventing/minimizing the risk before the implementation of technical, organizational and personal measures and was described in VMG's occupational health and safety guidelines. The policy described the prevention of hazards, the handling of chemicals and the organization of occupational health and safety. Company management at VMG was responsible for this internal policy. (IRO 14, 15)
25 Available at: https://www.pierermobility.com/en/sustainability/publications
The Diversity and Anti-Discrimination Policy governs how diversity is to be experienced and promoted within the Group and how different forms of discrimination and harassment are prevented. The policy does not just cover employees' workplaces, but also explicitly takes work-related settings and online situations into account. It applies to all employees, managers and board members worldwide. The policy defines relevant terms and helps employees to identify inappropriate behaviors. Nationality, skin color, ethnic or national origin, sex, sexual orientation, religion, age, ideology, culture, state of health or other aspects governed by local laws are mentioned as possible reasons for discrimination. Should violations of the guidelines occur, reporting options are outlined, such as the internal compliance contact point or the whistleblower system. The Group always strives to ensure complete confidentiality. No employee should suffer disadvantages as a consequence of reporting a violation of the policy in good faith. The Diversity and Anti-Discrimination Policy is available on the company's website.26 The relevant managers and ultimately the Executive Board or company management are responsible for the implementation of the policy. (IRO 14, 17, 18)
The internal guidelines for whistleblowers, which can be accessed via the Intranet, set out the process structure and protect the whistleblower submitting a report via the whistleblowing system. The guidelines set out the reporting process and information about confidentiality and data protection. The guidelines have been created by the Group's Legal department and will be updated as necessary. The relevant managers and ultimately the Executive Board or company management are responsible for the implementation of the guidelines. (IRO 12, 14, 19, 20)
The Declaration on Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking28 summarizes the Group's approach to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking. As an accompanying document to the Code of Conduct, the Declaration also applies to contractual partners and should therefore also impact the value chain. It places particular focus on respect for human rights. Further information about this declaration (such as its availability and relevant responsibilities) can be found in section S2-1. (IRO 12, 14)
The Code of Conduct of the Group forms the basis for a responsible and ethical corporate culture that is binding for all employees, managers, board members and external contractual partners. Among other things, it describes principles relating to human rights, diversity, fair working conditions, occupational health and safety, forced and compulsory labor, child labor and human trafficking. The Group and its business partners are committed to complying with the applicable national and international laws, regulations and guidelines as well as the ILO core labor standards (in particular ILO C138 on the minimum age for admission to employment, ILO 182 on the prohibition and immediate action for the elimination of the worst forms of child labor, ILO 29 on forced or compulsory labor and ILO 105 on the abolition of forced labor). Further information on the Code of Conduct (such as its availability and relevant responsibilities) can be found in section G1-1. (IRO 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
The Group has developed a comprehensive data protection strategy to ensure and consistently improve the protection of personal data. The strategy, which can be accessed via the Intranet, covers many different aspects of data protection, which are explained in more detail using specific guidelines. The data protection strategy also covers the up- and downstream value chain and all relevant geographical regions to the greatest extent possible. It is overseen by the Group's data protection team. The relevant managers and ultimately the Executive Board or company management are responsible for its implementation. The strategy includes the internal data protection policy for employees, which governs all of the Group's data processing activities, in particular with regard to all personal data of current and former employees, managers and board members. The Code of Conduct (see above and in section G1-1 regarding availability, responsibilities and scope of application) complies with the data protection regulations. Alignment with the strict European General Data Protection Regulation and other relevant

national and international standards ensures that the Group meets legal requirements. Regular training courses, updates and communication of policies ensure that both internal and external stakeholder groups understand and comply with the data protection requirements. (IRO 19, 20)
The Group's internal Information Security Framework Directive was comprehensively revised in financial year 2024 and is based on the requirements of ISO 27001. The directive applies to all employees of the Group as well as to associated units and third parties that work with the corresponding IT systems and to all systems connected to the PIERER Mobility AG networks (e.g., mobile and network devices). The directive serves as a framework for ensuring information security within the Group. Information security is an essential part of data protection. In addition to the description of security governance, the directive includes measures to ensure IT security, such as data leak prevention, identity and access management, information risk management and the development of secure software. The IT Security & Risk Management team is responsible for implementing this directive. The Information Security Framework Directive, which can be accessed via the Intranet, is referenced in other documents, such as the data classification guidelines, the security governance policy and the IT emergency handbook. (IRO 19, 20)
In the Group, 73.7% of the total workforce (headcount) is represented by the KTM AG, KTM F&E GmbH and KTM Components GmbH works councils. They are involved in the decision-making processes for personnel-related, far-reaching developments. Employees can contact the works councils at any time with their concerns, for advice or if they need representation. In addition, employees can discuss their concerns with their managers, company doctors, the HR or legal department and security specialists at any time, or can communicate via the whistleblower system. In addition, performance talks are held for employees29 on an annual basis, allowing for structured discussion between employees and managers. The performance talks are coordinated by Human Resources. Further information about the performance talks can be found in section S1-13. 98.9% of Group employees are covered by collective agreements or have contracts with conditions similar to collective bargaining agreements. These govern the rights and obligations of employers and employees within the framework of the employment relationship.
In January 2024, the subsidiary Avocodo GmbH, working with ASZ ("Arbeitsmedizinische und Sicherheitstechnische Zentrum in Linz GmbH"), conducted an anonymous online employee survey among its permanent employees (response rate: 69.4%). It included questions about working conditions and mental health in the workplace as well as a general employee survey. The evaluation showed that Avocodo scored better than the industry average for 25 out of 26 questions. The survey results were presented to the management of Avocodo GmbH. Internal communication was identified as an area with potential for improvement. A kick-off workshop with the motto "NextGen Avocodo" was held in summer 2024 to identify and define common values.
29 The performance talks are aimed at employees in Austria.
The Group strives to prevent negative impacts on its own employees. Corresponding measures are described in section ESRS S1-4. Employees can also discuss their concerns with, for example, their managers, the works council, company doctors, the HR or legal department or safety specialists at any time, or can communicate via the whistleblower system. Information about these reporting options, such as the internal guideline on the whistleblower system or specific contact details, have been made available on the Intranet. The whistleblower system was specifically referred to in an employee communication (Intranet post, PITBOARD article) and in the Compliance and Code of Conduct elearning course, which should increase internal awareness of the system. In addition, all employees receive a copy of the Code of Conduct, which refers to the whistleblower system, when they sign their contract, and they are notified of any changes to its content. Protection of whistleblowers is enshrined in company principles. Complaints are prioritized and tracked depending on the type of report and reporting channel. The legal department monitors incoming reports to the whistleblower system, thereby ensuring the effectiveness of the system. Further information on the whistleblower system, including the follow-up by the legal department or, if required, by external experts, can be found in sections G1-1 and G1-3. Employees at the Vöcklabruck production site can also (anonymously) submit information via a mailbox.
There were negative impacts on the Group's own workforce during the restructuring proceedings. The processes were overseen by the Chamber of Labor of Upper Austria and the works councils, which supported the workforce and mitigated the negative impacts. Care was taken to prevent cases of hardship.
Measures relating to working conditions and employee satisfaction, occupational health and safety, training and further training opportunities and diversity and equal opportunities were defined and implemented by the Group's Human Resources department. When identifying measures, internal specialists take into account both legal regulations and requirements and information from the specialist departments. Data protection measures are identified and overseen by the legal department, whereas the IT department is responsible for data security measures. The specialist departments are also responsible for monitoring the effectiveness of the measures. This can take the form, for example, of knowledge checks at the end of training courses or, in the case of cybersecurity measures, of the evaluation of data on fake phishing emails. After completing system-based training courses, employees have the opportunity to evaluate the training in terms of its content, methods and practical relevance. This is used to monitor the effectiveness of the training. A high score for practical relevance indicates that the training courses are particularly applicable to employees' everyday work. The annual performance talks also serve as an opportunity to provide feedback. Material, financial and personnel resources were allocated to the management of material IROs, allowing the stated measures to be initiated or implemented.
PIERER Mobility sees itself as having a special responsibility toward its employees. Focus is therefore placed on fair and employee-friendly working conditions. Measures are managed, tracked and monitored by the Human Resources department. Employees can contact the HR department at any time with suggestions for improvement. (IRO 12, 14)
• Culture: The Group is relying on its resilient culture to provide the best possible support during company restructuring. Internal organizational development experts are working closely with teams and managers to develop solutions for challenges relating to structural, team and knowledge management. This includes, in particular, reflecting on tasks and processes within the teams, moderating workshops such as process analyses and actively encouraging discussion within the team and beyond the team with its interfaces. Based on current models and interventions, workshop settings are developed with the aim of achieving the greatest possible success. These are used on an ongoing basis during the current restructuring process.
The Group has set itself the goal of achieving a high level of performance when it comes to occupational safety at all its sites and in all areas of the business.
A regular review of workplaces and processes with regard to their safety, which can also be used to monitor and follow-up measures, is an essential part of occupational safety measures. Improvement measures are implemented if necessary. In addition to regular investigations, case-based analyses of accidents and near-misses are carried out in order to ensure continued safety in the workplace.
In addition to standardized measures on employee health and safety (these are summarized in PIERER Mobility AG's published Occupational Health and Safety Policy, see section S1-1), the following measures have been implemented in financial year 2024:
The Group takes the approach of enabling employees to develop their career within the company and engage in lifelong learning by undertaking further training and education. The measures are managed, tracked and monitored by the KTM Academy team. Employees can contact the team with questions or suggestions for improvement at any time. The following new training courses were introduced in financial year 2024 (IRO 14, 16):
• ProjectNET – network for project managers: In June 2024, the KTM Academy organized its first network event for project managers. The primary aim of this event was to discuss practical issues and establish an interdisciplinary, internal company network. As a group, participants compiled a list of current issues and discussed the conflict between agile and conventional methods, drawing on their own experiences. They then worked together in small groups to explore how PMOs can support project managers in this task. A total of 39 project managers from various divisions of the company took part.
The Group regards it as particularly important for all employees to be treated with fairness and respect. The aim is to promote social justice while combating and preventing discrimination and inequality. Measures are managed, tracked and monitored by the Human Resources department. Employees can contact the Human Resources department with questions or suggestions for improvement at any time. (IRO 14, 17, 18)
• Summer break childcare: In cooperation with the "Kinderfreunden" family organization and Schalchen elementary school, the Group has been offering a free childcare service for the past four years during the summer break. In financial year 2024, a total of 50 children took part in the vacation program, which included visits to the apprentice workshop and the KTM Motohall. The program is intended to make working life easier for parents during the summer break and is primarily aimed at employees at the Mattighofen, Munderfing and Schalchen sites.
The mandatory "Data Privacy" e-learning course, which must be completed once a year, teaches all participating employees about data protection requirements. The e-learning course was fully revised in 2024 to meet all data protection requirements. Participation is assessed annually and follow-up action taken where appropriate. In addition to the mandatory e-learning course, the Group also offers additional training if necessary to cover specific requirements and scenarios that go beyond the content of the "Data Privacy" e-learning course. The training courses are supplemented by audits and risk assessments.
The Group's data protection measures are preventive actions taken to ensure high standards in the handling of personal data. To date, there are no known cases in which an individual's right to data protection has been significantly breached. The introduction of the mandatory e-learning course and the regular adaptation of the guidelines therefore serve to proactively prevent such cases. (IRO 19, 20)
The Group addresses IT and cyber risks through the continuous further development of security measures, the use of state-of-the-art technologies and a multilevel security concept. (IRO 19, 20)
To date, no targets have been set for the IROs relating to company workers. The effectiveness of the policies and actions in relation to the material IROs is monitored individually by the responsible departments. Examples of how measures are monitored can be found in section S1-4. However, there is not yet an overarching procedure for monitoring effectiveness.
As at December 31, 2024, PIERER Mobility AG employed 5,310 people, 4,805 of which in Europe and 349 in North America. The corresponding figure in the consolidated financial statements can be found at 22. Employees. A total of 1,043 employees left the Group in the financial year. This represents a turnover of 18.6%. The fluctuation is partly due to the reduction of the workforce in the course of the restructuring proceedings of KTM AG. For more information about these restructuring proceedings, see section SBM-2 in the chapter on ESRS 2 and section SBM-3 in this topical standard.

| Gender-Pay-Gap (Austrian sites) | 18.9% | |
| Total remuneration ratio (Austrian sites) | 25.9 : 1 |
The gender pay gap, defined as the difference between the average wage level of female and male employees expressed as a percentage of the average wage level of male employees, was 18.9% in Austria. This can largely be explained by positions within the group and part-time working arrangements. Outside of Austria, not all data was available in full, meaning that assumptions had to be made regarding gender-specific salary distributions per functional area, resulting in a gender pay gap of -5.7%.
The ratio of the annual total remuneration of the highest-paid individual to the median annual total remuneration of all employees in Austria (excluding the highest-paid individual) was 25.9 : 1. As with the gender pay gap, not all data was available for the non-Austrian companies, which is why estimates again had to be made regarding the salary distributions. The median per country was calculated from the average income per functional area and weighted per headcount. This value was set in relation to the remuneration of the highest-paid person (who is remunerated in Austria). The ratio of the highest-paid person to all non-Austrian employees was 25.3 : 1.
Work is underway to calculate the gender pay gap and the ratio of total annual remuneration for the non-Austrian companies (< 30% of the total number of employees) in the same way as for the Austrian companies in order to report a total figure for the Group in future.
More detailed descriptions of the calculation methods can be found in section calculation principles and assumptions of this topic standard.

|---|---|---|---|
| General information employees |
about | the quantitative datapoints relating to PIERER Mobility Group |
Unless otherwise specified, the evaluations were carried out using the Group's ERP system. Companies without ERP access (DealerCenter Digital GmbH, KTM Motohall GmbH) are excluded. Data for these companies were added manually where possible. Further information about this can be found in the rows below. With the exception of the turnover rate, all disclosures and calculations are based on data from the reporting date of December 31, 2024. The headcount includes six external workers, of which four are temporary workers and two are foundation apprentices. |
| S1-6 | 50a | Employees by gender and country |
So far, no employee has specified their gender as "diverse". This selection option is available worldwide. Gender has been recorded for all employees. Data from DealerCenter Digital GmbH and KTM Motohall GmbH were added to the headcount manually. |
| S1-6 | 50b | Employee by type of contract |
Temporary employment contracts were agreed with freelance service providers, interns, seasonal workers and temporary workers. All other employees had permanent contracts. The Group does not have any non guaranteed hours employees (defined as employees without a guaranteed minimum number of working hours). Data from DealerCenter Digital GmbH and KTM Motohall GmbH were added to the headcount manually. |
| S1-6 | 50c | Employee turnover |
The definition of turnover includes natural turnover. Departures due to fixed-term employment contracts reaching their term were not taken into account. The employee turnover rate was calculated on the basis of the average number of employees in financial year 2024. |
| S1-9 | 66a | Gender distribution at management levels |
The definition of managers used here includes Board members (excl. members of the Executive Board of PIERER Mobility AG), general managers, division managers and subdivision managers. Only companies with ERP access were taken into account. |
| S1-9 | 66b | Distribution of employees by age group |
See general information about the quantitative datapoints relating to Group employees. Data from DealerCenter Digital GmbH were added manually. |
| S1-13 | 83a | Employees with regular career |
Performance talks are recorded in the ERP system. They are to be carried out annually for employees in Austria. Feedback meetings with apprentices also take place on a |
| development reviews |
regular basis. The figure represents the total number of performance talks carried out and apprentices who had feedback meetings. |
||
|---|---|---|---|
| S1-13 | 83b | Training hours per employee |
Successfully completed training courses are monitored online by the KTM_academy team and by the Group's ERP system. To calculate the average hours of training per employee by gender, the total number of hours of training per gender was added up and divided by the gender headcount. Only companies with ERP access were taken into account. |
| Entity-specific disclosure |
Data protection training figures |
Successfully completed training courses are monitored online by the KTM_academy team and by the Group's ERP system. The system sends invitations to all employees. Only companies with ERP access were taken into account. |
|
| S1-14 | 88a | Health and safety management |
The Group has an occupational health and safety management system in place at its Austrian sites (except for the sites of Avocodo GmbH and PIERER Innovation GmbH). All employees at the included sites are covered by this management system. |
| S1-14 | 88b, d, e | Occupational safety metrics |
Metrics are recorded using a dedicated tool for the Austrian companies with the exception of Avocodo GmbH and PIERER Innovation GmbH, which is used to collect and analyse accident figures. Data for the excluded and non-austrian companies were extrapolated based on the headcount and the total number reported. In future, it is planned to collect the key figures for S1-14 for the companies not covered by the tool (<30% of the total number of employees). An estimate is currently still included. The figures for external workers were not extrapolated, as they were almost completely dismissed during the year. |
| S1-14 | 88c | Rate of recordable work-related accidents |
Metrics are recorded using a dedicated tool for the Austrian companies with the exception of Avocodo GmbH and PIERER Innovation GmbH, which is used to collect and analyse accident figures. In calculating the rate of recordable work-related accidents, the number of recordable work-related accidents was divided by the total number of hours worked multiplied by 1,000,000 by the workforce and. The number of working hours for the rate of reportable work-related accidents was recorded using the ERP system. |
| S1-16 | 97a | Gender pay gap | The gender-specific total salaries and wages as well as working hours of the Austrian companies (taking all new hires and departures into account; with the exception of KTM Motohall GmbH and DealerCenter Digital GmbH; concerns 0.4% of the total workforce) were recorded using the ERP system. For all other countries (with the exception of KTM Sportmotorcycle India Private Limited; concerns: 0.5% of the total workforce), wages and salaries per functional area were also analysed using the ERP system and calculated per gender under the assumption that women and men are paid equally. The assumption was based on an evaluation in previous years, which showed comparable remuneration per gender and function. Gross salaries and wages (including bonuses, allowances, etc.) and benefits in kind were taken into account. In addition, only the average national normal working hours (taking part-time regulations into account) could be used to calculate the gender pay gap for the non-Austrian sites. The gender pay gap was calculated as a percentage of the average salary level of male employees. |

concerns 0.4% of the total workforce). When calculating total remuneration, gross salaries and wages (including bonuses, allowances, etc.) and benefits in kind were taken into account and the median of the employees' total annual remuneration was calculated. This value was set in relation to the total remuneration of the highest-paid person. For the other locations outside Austria, the median per country was calculated from the average income per functional area and weighted per headcount. This value was set in relation to the remuneration of the highest-paid person (who is remunerated in Austria). |

The negative impacts identified are impacts that could potentially occur in the upstream value chain of the PIERER Mobility Group. They were identified as part of a Value Chain Risk Analysis (for more information, see section S2-4).
The Declaration on Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking summarizes the Group's approach to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking within the Group and is also intended to apply to its value chain. Particular attention is paid to the respect for human rights, which are to be protected by the Code of Conduct, for example. In addition, the Group has established a sustainability assessment for its suppliers and places sustainability demands on its contractual partners. As an accompanying document to the Code of Conduct (see section G1-1), the Declaration on Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking is binding for all contractual partners and is published on the PIERER Mobility website.30 The Declaration is regularly reviewed by the Group's Legal department and updated as required to meet the high standards. It is the responsibility of departmental managers and ultimately senior management to ensure that the policy is implemented. (IRO 21, 22)
The Group has set up a global whistleblower system (see section G1-1 for information on the content of the internal guideline, its scope, responsibilities and availability), which is accessible to employees and third parties. Workers in the value chain can contact the whistleblower system at any time.
In financial year 2024, the Group used the SupplierAssurance platform to better monitor sustainability in the upstream supply chain. The self-assessment questionnaire assessing the sustainability of suppliers that can be found on that platform includes questions on their approach to human rights and working conditions. (IRO 22)
The Code of Conduct is the key document governing the conduct of PIERER Mobility and its business partners, including the Group's suppliers, and prohibits any form of child or forced labor. Among other things, it describes principles relating to human rights, respect, integrity, health protection and occupational safety. The Group and its business partners are committed to complying with the applicable national and international laws, regulations and guidelines as well as the ILO core labor standards (in particular ILO C138 on the minimum age for admission to employment, ILO 182 on the prohibition and immediate action for the elimination of the worst forms of child labor, ILO 29 on forced or compulsory labor and ILO 105 on the abolition of forced labor). Further information on the Code of Conduct (such as its availability, scope of application, responsibilities and references to international standards and guidelines) can be found in section G1-1. (IRO 21, 22)
If, despite the preventive measures, there is a violation of the Code of Conduct or the Declaration on Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking, the Group will take appropriate action. The central goal is to remedy and prevent violations and to actively and effectively improve the sustainability performance of business partners. In serious cases or if the business partner in question refuses to accept the measures imposed, the Group reserves the right to terminate the ongoing business relationship. No cases of noncompliance with the Code of Conduct in the up- or downstream supply chain were reported in financial year 2024. Further measures with regard to the rights and working conditions of workers in the up- and downstream value chain can be found in section S2-3.
The Group currently does not have any processes for engaging with value chain workers about impacts. The potential impacts in the value chain were determined by means of the Value Chain Risk Analysis (for further information, see S2-4), which is regarded as indirect engagement with value chain workers. In addition, value chain workers can contact the established whistleblower system at any time (see G1- 1). All information received by the whistleblower system is checked individually and follow-up measures are taken if necessary.

Options for value chain workers to report their concerns and other measures to promote the implementation of the Code of Conduct are described in detail in section G1-1. The reporting options are accessible to employees and third parties, including value chain workers. The follow-up process for submitted and reported issues is also described in detail in section G1-1 and is coordinated by the Group's Legal department. The internal guideline on the whistleblower system described in G1-1 defines regulations for the protection of whistleblowers. There are currently no procedures in place to promote the availability of the processes at the workplace of the value chain workers. To date, value chain workers have not been explicitly involved in implementing the reporting channels.
The Group will continue to monitor, evaluate and improve its efforts to meet its obligation of due diligence in relation to human rights. The Group takes reports received via the whistleblower system seriously and follows them up. To date, no reports of violations have been received that have led to legally relevant compliance cases. The measures are identified and supported by internal experts in Purchasing, Legal and Quality Management. Should violations of the Code of Conduct or other relevant, agreed compliance guidelines occur despite the measures described, the Group reserves the right to implement suitable measures. These are described in S2-1. The Code of Conduct forms the framework for the economic activities of the Group and its business partners and helps to avoid negative impacts of the Group's activities on workers in the value chain.
Material, financial and personnel resources were allocated to the management of material IROs, allowing the above-mentioned measures to be initiated or implemented.
To date, the Group has not set any targets for the IROs related to value chain workers. The effectiveness of the policies and actions in relation to the material IROs is monitored individually by the responsible departments. However, there is not yet an overarching procedure for monitoring effectiveness.
• Purchasing: The identified impacts on workers in the value chain were potential negative impacts, that were identified in the process of the value chain risk analysis. The analysis took into account the probability of poor working conditions in the upstream value chain to the best of its ability, which was greatest in the textile and electrical/electronics sectors. Furthermore, the identified risk of child labor is highest in the textile sector. The analysis also showed that the risk of poor working conditions, child labor and forced labor is lower in European countries than in other regions of the world. A large proportion of the total volume of components purchased for motorcycle series production at the European sites comes from Europe. The purchasing volume for series production amounted to approx. € 803 million in financial year 2024 — geographical breakdown: 26% from Austria, 61% from Austria/Germany/Italy and 85% from Europe. In financial year 2024, the volume of indirect materials and services purchased for the plants in Austria was approx. € 207 million. The majority was procured within Austria: 62% within Austria, 81% within Austria/Germany/Italy and 97% within Europe. The risk of poor working conditions can therefore be reduced by sourcing a high proportion of components from Europe. (IRO 21, 22)

Purchase volume per continent (series purchasing) Europe 85%, Asia 12%, North America 2%

Identifying supplier-specific risks using the Value Chain Risk Analysis enables the Group to classify its suppliers according to their ESG performance in relation to the procurement volume: Suppliers are classified as insignificant, low, medium, high or very high risk. In financial year 2024, the distribution was as follows:

When determining the material IROs in relation to consumers and end-users, the double materiality assessment focused on motorcycle users, since these are by far the largest customer group of PIERER Mobility. The other business areas of the Group were also taken into account in the assessments; for example, IRO 26, 27 and 28 may affect all consumers and end-users of the Group. The potentially affected consumers and end-users were identified on the basis of a context analysis, which included an analysis of the value chains and business areas. The analysis is described in more detail in section IRO-1.
The increasing connectivity of motorcycles increases the risk of data loss or misuse, which includes issues relating to the right to privacy and the protection of personal data. The right to freedom of expression is not affected. Due to legal requirements, not everyone has access to the Group's products (e.g. driver's licenses required for vehicles in class L). In order to ensure the safe use of the Group's motorcycles, the Group publishes owner's manuals for each motorcycle model in several languages. The owner's manuals contain service schedules and information on the correct use of the motorcycles.
The Group's quality policy forms the basis of quality management at KTM AG level and reinforces the focus on the four pillars defined by the company: innovation, globalization, brands and people. Special emphasis is placed on the training and further education of employees. The quality policy is regularly updated and applies to companies covered by ISO 9001 at the Mattighofen, Munderfing, Schalchen and Graz sites. Further information on the quality policy (e.g., on its availability or responsibilities) can be found in section E1-2. More detailed information (availability, content, scope of application and responsibilities) on the quality and environmental policy of the aluminum foundry at the Vöcklabruck site can be found in section E1-2. (IRO 23, 24, 26)
The Code of Conduct is the key document governing the conduct of PIERER Mobility and its business partners. Among other things, it describes principles relating to human rights, respect and integrity. In particular, the "OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises on Responsible Business Conduct" and the ILO core labor standards (in particular ILO C138 on the minimum age for admission to employment, ILO 182 on the prohibition and immediate action for the elimination of the worst forms of child labor, ILO 29 on forced or compulsory labor and ILO 105 on the abolition of forced labor) apply. The Group and its business partners do not condone human rights violations of any kind. Further information on the Code of Conduct (such as its availability, scope of application and relevant responsibilities) can be found in section G1-1. (IRO 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
The Group is not aware of any cases of non-compliance with the Code of Conduct and thus with the international standards listed therein in the up- or downstream value chain. Processes for engaging with consumers and end-users can be found in G1-1 and the SBM-3 sections of this topical standard and of ESRS 2.
The cybersecurity policy describes the Cybersecurity Management System (CSMS) of the Group and defines responsibilities. Particular attention is paid to the identification and assessment of risks. The objective of the CSMS is to protect all of the Group's series-production vehicles from cybersecurity risks throughout their entire product life cycle (see also S4-4). At the top level, the Executive Board of the Group is responsible for the policy accessible on the Intranet. (IRO 27, 28)
The views of consumers and end-users are taken into consideration in business decisions. For example, the Group's Customer Service is in touch with the dealers and workshops that are in direct contact with the consumers and end-users (especially motorcyclists and cyclists). In addition, the Group organizes events such as training sessions (street, offroad, race tracks) and tours every year, thus establishing direct links with motorcyclists. Furthermore, there is an ongoing dialog with consumers and end-users via newsletters and social media. All consumers and end-users can address their concerns to the Group's whistleblower system at any time (for more information on the availability of the system, its scope of application and responsibilities, see G1-1). The viewpoints and requirements of consumers and end-users are taken into account in the product specifications.
Options for consumers and end-users to report their concerns and other measures to promote the implementation of the Code of Conduct are described in detail in section G1-1. The Code of Conduct is published on the Group's website and is therefore accessible to consumers and end-users at all times. The whistleblower system, which is also described in G1-1, is accessible to all interested parties. In addition, a contact option has been set up on the websites of the core brands to allow potential cybersecurity vulnerabilities to be reported. The reporting options are available to employees and third parties, including consumers and end-users. There are currently no procedures in place to promote the availability of the processes for consumers and end-users. Nor have consumers and end-users been explicitly involved in the process of implementing the reporting channels to date. Measures for reducing negative impacts and promoting positive impacts can be found in section S4-4.
The Group will continue to monitor, evaluate and improve its efforts to meet its obligation of due diligence in relation to human rights. This includes manufacturing safe products. The measures were identified and developed on the basis of the Group's many years of experience in the field of mobility and by analyzing legal requirements. Ongoing research and development activities can improve the characteristics of motorcycles, thereby reducing negative impacts on consumers and end-users and achieving positive impacts. No cases of non-compliance with the Code of Conduct and therefore violation of human rights in the downstream value chain were reported to the Group in the financial year. Material, financial and personnel resources were provided for the management of material IROs, allowing the measures mentioned to be initiated or implemented.
The Group has set itself the goal of manufacturing particularly safe and high-quality products. A high level of quality enables products to be used reliably and safely. This is ensured by an ISO 9001:2015 certified quality management system at the KTM Group's relevant sites (such as Production, Logistics, and Research and Development). The measures described below focus on the production sites in Austria and Spain. (IRO 23, 24, 26)
• Supplier management: In addition to monitoring in-house production processes, quality assurance in the upstream value chain is also important. This is continuously promoted by systematic supplier management including supplier evaluations and audits. In addition, the Group carries out incoming goods inspections in order to detect any deviations at an early stage. In the event of deviations, an action plan is drawn up and implemented, which also tracks the action taken.
Customer expectations have changed dramatically in recent years due to general market developments. In order to continue meeting expectations, customer service activities for all brands were further expanded in financial year 2024. The effectiveness of the customer service and quality management measures is monitored, among other things, by recording the warranty applications. (IRO 23, 24, 26)
31 For example: https://www.ktm.com/en-us/service/warranty.html,https://www.husqvarna-motorcycles.com/en-us/service/extended-warranty.html 32 No end date has yet been defined for the task force. For the time being, the intention is for it to continue indefinitely.
The Group's Research and Development department is working on solutions to increase product and riding safety that can be incorporated into the Group's motorcycles after completion of the R&D activities and are thus available to consumers and end-users. In some cases, it is also possible to retrofit models that have already been sold. (IRO 25, 26)
In addition to the measures described in section S1-4 relating to the cybersecurity of the Group's systems, the Group is also focusing on the IT security of its motorcycles. (IRO 26, 27, 28)
According to current European law, the security of the IT systems in vehicles needs to be increased and more stringent cybersecurity protection needs to be guaranteed. A regulation requiring proof of cybersecurity for the entire product life cycle in order for type approval to be granted currently only applies to four-wheel vehicles. The RED DA (the delegated act to the European Union's Radio Equipment Directive), which comes into force in August 2025, also requires the use of corresponding components in powered two-wheelers (motorcycles, electric bicycles). Additional regulations in relation to cybersecurity – the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), UNECE R155 – will need to be implemented for powered two-wheelers from 2027.
To date, the Group has not set any targets with regard to material impacts, risks and opportunities in connection with consumers and end-users. The effectiveness of the policies and actions in relation to the material IROs is monitored individually by the responsible departments. However, there is not yet an overarching procedure for monitoring effectiveness.

The Group Code of Conduct forms the basis for a responsible and ethical corporate culture. It applies to all employees, managers and board members, as well as business partners. The Code of Conduct includes detailed guidelines for respecting human rights, environmental protection, fair working conditions and ethical business practices. At the same time, it compels strict compliance with international standards such as the OECD guidelines, ILO conventions (in particular ILO C138 on the minimum age for admission to employment, ILO 182 on the prohibition and immediate action for the elimination of the worst forms of child labor, ILO 29 on forced or compulsory labor and ILO 105 on the abolition of forced labor) and conventions against child and forced labor. The Code of Conduct is available on a permanent basis on the company's website,36 where it is transparently and easily accessible for all relevant stakeholders.
35 No policies, measures or targets have been established in relation to quota-based payments to suppliers during the restructuring proceedings, as the impact of this will only be temporary.
36 Available at: https://www.pierermobility.com/en/sustainability/publications
In order to be able to identify and investigate concerns regarding potential breaches of the Code of Conduct effectively, the Group has established a system of internal and external reporting channels, including the anonymous whistleblower system. This allows employees and third parties to report breaches safely, confidentially and, if preferred, anonymously. Protection of whistleblowers is enshrined in company principles and sanctions against whistleblowers acting in good faith are not permitted. Here, the Group pays particular attention to compliance with national and international provisions on combating corruption (e.g. UNCAC, OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises). See also further explanations given in section S1-3.
In order to guarantee that all employees (irrespective of position or function) understand the company's ethical standards and implement them in their day-to-day work, the Group has introduced an annual mandatory e-learning program on compliance and the Code of Conduct. The e-learning program is continuously updated. It requires employees to deal with specific examples of corruption and bribery in order to familiarize them with practical scenarios and foster their understanding of the potential risks. Furthermore, a guideline was established that contains clear guidelines on conduct and recommended actions to prevent corruption and bribery (see guidelines on dealing with invitations, G1-1). Employees are provided with the contact details of the Legal department as part of the e-learning program so that they can receive individual advice from the department in the event of specific queries or areas of uncertainty.
The Group strictly complies with national and international guidelines on combating corruption and has laid down a clear zero-tolerance policy toward corruption and bribery in its Code of Conduct. This policy is supported by training sessions for all employees, in particular managers. Certain functions, in particular senior positions with direct contact with external partners, are particularly exposed to the risk of corruption due to their decision-making powers. Corruption can begin with small, initially inconspicuous actions, meaning that, essentially, any function in the Group may potentially be at risk. This underlines the need for groupwide awareness-raising measures.
In the case of suspected breaches of the compliance guidelines, internal investigations are immediately initiated; these are conducted independently by the Legal department with support from external experts where required. As soon as a report is received, it is checked and undergoes an initial assessment by the Legal department. Specific steps are taken on a case-by-case basis. Firstly, relevant information is gathered and discussions held with the individuals concerned. If required, meetings are held with supervisors, HR and/or external experts. These discussions are used to comprehensively clarify the situation and plan the required measures. Next, suitable measures are taken, which may range from warnings to measures under employment law. Each measure is carefully coordinated with the relevant internal departments and implemented consistently. Further steps may be derived from the reports, for example the creation of new guidelines by the Legal department for the purposes of raising employee awareness. Managers are further required to take preventive measures to avoid risks and ensure safe working methods. The Code of Conduct is regularly reviewed by the Group's Legal department and updated as required to ensure it meets high standards. The departments, relevant managers and ultimately company management are responsible for ensuring that the Code of Conduct is implemented.
The Code of Conduct of the Group applies in principle to all group companies. Due to the integration into the corporate structure (under KTM Components GmbH) during the financial year 2024, VMG's own Code of Conduct was also in effect. This served as a guideline with clear principles governing the ethical business practices of VMG, its employees and all business partners. The Code of Conduct described regulations in relation to working conditions and human rights, occupational health and safety, business ethics and environmental protection. It was accessible on the VMG website and the management of VMG was responsible for it. (IRO 29, 31, 32)
The Group has internally accessible guidelines on dealing with invitations. In order to avoid conflicts of interest, clear, strict rules on issuing and accepting invitations have been established for workers of the Group. The aim here is to prevent bribery, corruption and other criminal offenses. Business partners are also required to make decisions exclusively on an objective basis, as laid down in the Code of Conduct. The guidelines have been created by the Group's Legal department and will be updated as necessary. The departments, relevant managers and ultimately the Executive Board or company management are responsible for promoting the implementation of the guidelines. They are aimed specifically at the company's own workers and their internal and external activities. (IRO 32)
The guidelines for whistleblowers, which are available on the Intranet, set out the process structure and protect the whistleblower submitting a report via the whistleblowing system. The guidelines set out the reporting process and information about confidentiality and data protection. The guidelines have been created by the Group's Legal department and will be updated as necessary. The relevant managers and ultimately the Executive Board or company management are responsible for the implementation of the guidelines. (IRO 29, 30, 32)
Further information on the establishment, development and promotion of internal corporate culture can be found in section S1-4 Measures relating to working conditions and employee satisfaction and section S1-4 Training and further training opportunities.
The Group has established standard terms and conditions of purchase that govern procurement and payment, including any associated conditions, such as quality. Here, the Group does not differentiate by size of supplier. In addition, specific arrangements may be made with suppliers. Supplier management takes place via a tool. To monitor social and ecological sustainability performance in the supply chain, the Group uses the Value Chain Risk Analysis, which is described in greater detail in section S2-4. Part of the process for assessing the specific risk took place in the form of a self-disclosure submitted by the suppliers via a dedicated software solution. The supplier ecological and social sustainability assessment feeds into the supplier selection process, for example as part of the supplier assessment or the Group's goods group strategy.
• Updating the Code of Conduct and associated guidelines: In 2024, the Code of Conduct, including the content on combating corruption and bribery, and the associated guidelines were revised and updated. Compliance with the Code of Conduct is mandatory for all employees and business partners. The "Compliance and Code of Conduct" e-learning course must be completed annually by all employees and supports employees in implementing the Code.
In 2025, the associated e-learning course is set to be revised and updated to ensure it continues to meet the latest requirements. Updates to the guidelines, policies and other online training courses will continue to take place in the future to ensure it is possible to react promptly to any changes affecting the Group.
37 Note: The guideline is an internal document; however, external parties can also submit reports via the whistleblower system. Further information can be found at: https://pierermobility.integrityline.com/?lang=en

Corruption and bribery can start on a small scale, which is why the Group takes a preventive approach: All employees of the Group are potentially exposed to such risks, regardless of their function or area. For this reason, the e-learning program is aimed at all employees of the Group who are connected to the system. The members of the Group Executive Board are also included in the figures for managers. In addition, the members of the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board receive training on all of the above points during the course of the year.
• Measures to promote the whistleblower system: To further promote the use of the whistleblower system, an additional reporting channel was set up in 2024, which allows external business partners and third parties to submit reports (anonymously). This was made publicly accessible via the Code of Conduct. Incidents reported are monitored and assessed by the Legal department directly in the system in order to ensure efficient oversight and quick processing. Further information on the follow-up process for reports and publication of the associated guidelines can be found in section G1-1. These measures are part of continuous efforts to improve the prevention of corruption and bribery and to more effectively structure company policy. Employee feedback received via the reporting channels provides insights into the trust in the corporate culture and ethical company management.
The Group has defined parameters to accurately assess the performance and effectiveness of the measures taken in relation to key internal guidelines. These parameters enable it to monitor progress, in particular in the areas of corporate culture, protection of whistleblowers and prevention of corruption and bribery. The metrics and targets established by the Group are directly linked to the Code of Conduct and associated guidelines and should guarantee a responsible corporate culture, protection of whistleblowers and prevention of corruption and bribery. Specifically, an increase in the number of graduates of the Code of Conduct and Compliance e-learning programme and the revision of the training course were set as targets. Regular audits and evaluations help to ensure compliance with compliance guidelines. These validations increase trustworthiness and data reliability, which are used to assess target attainment.
In financial year 2024, no breaches of corruption or bribery regulations or other compliance incidents that led to legal proceedings were identified. There were no cases that led to disciplinary consequences or dismissals. No contracts with business partners were terminated or not renewed as a result of breaches. Likewise, no public court proceedings resulting from corruption or bribery were initiated or concluded.

This absence of breaches reflects the efficiency of the preventive measures that are supported by regular training sessions and awareness-raising programs. In particular, the mandatory annual Compliance and Code of Conduct e-learning program ensures that all employees understand and can apply the company guidelines. During the reporting period, 66.5% of employees successfully completed this online training course. The aim here is to increase the number of people completing the training in the financial year 2025. A further goal is the comprehensive revision of the e-learning program on compliance and the Code of Conduct in the financial year 2025 to make it even more practical and easier to understand for all employees of the Group. (IRO 29, 31 32)
In 2024, 17 incidents were reported via the whistleblower system, of which 17 were not compliancerelevant. Expanding the system to include third parties should lead to better integrity in future. Increased use is an indicator of a good level of acceptance of the system and trust from whistleblowers.
The Group has established standard terms and conditions of payment in its terms and conditions of purchase.38 According to the standard terms and conditions if all requirements are met, the invoice will be paid within 90 days of receipt of the invoice to the bank account on file. In addition, specific arrangements may be made with suppliers. Payments were generally made on time (taking cash discounts in account). There were individual cases of payment deferments in financial year 2024 in which invoices were paid after their due date. On average, it took 86 days for invoices to be settled prior to the initiation of the restructuring proceedings. No court proceedings were opened against the Group due to delayed payment during the financial year 2024.

| G1-3 | 21 | Information on corruption and bribery training |
Monitoring of successfully completed training courses on preventing corruption and bribery takes place online via the company's e-learning system. The system sends invitations to all employees who are connected to the e learning system. The subsidiary DealerCenter Digital GmbH was not included in the analysis. |
| G1-4 | 24a | Legal steps resulting from breaches of corruption and bribery regulations |
Monitoring of legal steps resulting from breaches of corruption and bribery regulations is conducted by the Legal department. |

| G1-4 | Metrics regarding the whistleblower system (entity specific disclosure) |
Monitoring of the whistleblower system is conducted by the Legal department. The system is accessible to internal and external stakeholders. |
|
| G1-6 | 33a | Payment periods | The calculation of the average time in days for the payment of invoices has been carried out for KTM AG only for the period up to 31 October 2024. The reason for choosing this period is the start of the restructuring process in November 2024. For the calculation, the average accounts payable for goods and services were multiplied by 365 days and then divided by the expenses for material purchases, including VAT. |
| G1-6 | 33b | Standard payment terms |
The standard payment terms are defined in the Group's terms and conditions of purchase. Due to the restructuring proceedings of KTM AG and two of its subsidiaries, it is currently not possible to evaluate the percentage of payments for which the standard terms are applied. In addition, individual payment terms are often agreed with suppliers, which would reduce the meaningfulness of the figure. |
| G1-6 | 33c | Legal proceedings for latepayments |
Monitoring of legal steps resulting from delays in payment is conducted by the Legal department. |

The KTM Group's research and development department is globally positioned. The central development site is located in Mattighofen. In addition to carrying out numerous research and development projects, the R&D activities of the other locations are supported from here. Due to the local conditions, the research site in Terrassa, Spain, is well suited for testing off-road motorcycles. Accordingly, the research focus on site is also on off-road applications. The research activities in Varese, Italy, focused on the further development of the MV Agusta models. In the United States, the focus is on ensuring that products comply with the specifications specific to the North American market, as well as on complementary developments. The PIERER Mobility Group cooperates with research institutions, OEMs and start-ups from the motorcycle and automotive industries as well as from other branches of industry.
The central points of the R&D activities are the early recognition of trends in the motorcycle industry and customer requirements as well as the further development of the product portfolio from a technical and functional point of view. Key areas of R&D activities include digitalization – both in the area of R&D itself and product-related –, electromobility, the reduction of emissions, further developments in the areas of safety and assistance systems, and materials research. The R&D activities cover the entire product development process – from basic research in the field of material use, pre-development and prototype production to series production.
As of December 31, 2024, the company employed 1,173 people in research and development (previous year: 1,302), which corresponds to 22.1% of the total workforce. The decrease results from the various measures taken by the PIERER Mobility Group to reduce R&D costs. Operationally, excluding the capitalization and depreciation of development expenses, 12.5% of total sales were spent on research and development, which corresponds to € 235.1 million in absolute terms (previous year: € 244.4 million).
The Group's long-standing partnerships with Bajaj Auto, Pune, India, and CFMOTO, Hangzhou, China, were continued in the 2024 financial year. The majority of development activities will continue to take place at the Group's European research and development sites. In the future, the industrialization of developments will be increasingly supported by these international partners. The aim is to exploit synergies on both sides by relocating development and production processes. The cooperation with CFMOTO is primarily managed by the joint venture.
The virtualization and digitization of product development are important building blocks for reducing development times, costs and quality risks. Computer-aided component validation, function verification and optimization in the development process mean that fewer physical prototypes are required. Ultimately, the physical clearance testing of components and complete vehicles on appropriate test benches is an indispensable building block in the testing of new products.
In addition, long-term simulations can promote the development of more durable products. The findings of the simulation are summarized in the virtual prototype, the "digital twin". However, due to its complexity, the Group does not expect the digital twin to be used for a few years.
Connectivity functions that enable data exchange between the vehicle and, for example, smartphones have been intensively developed in recent years and are among the indispensable features, especially in the premium segment. In addition to the development of comfort functions (e.g. telephony and navigation), the development and testing of communication systems between the motorcycle and other vehicles as well as between the motorcycle and (traffic) infrastructure (e.g. traffic lights) are a central component of the activities of the reporting year. As part of its Connected Motorcycle Consortium (CMC) membership, KTM continued to work together with other motorcycle and passenger car manufacturers in 2024 on the analysis of accident scenarios and prevention through radio communication. This leads to an improvement in road safety. The next generation of vehicles is already prepared for the retrofitting of radio technology.
One of the key activities for decarbonization in the field of electromobility is the expansion of the product range. In order to meet its own performance standards, battery development is being pushed forward and focused on suitability for series production.
Since the market launch of the KTM Freeride E in 2014, the PIERER Mobility Group has been considered a pioneer in this field. The development of electrified motorcycle models is mainly carried out in the in-house competence centre in Anif near Salzburg. In the 2024 financial year, the fundamentally revised 2025 KTM Freeride E was introduced together with the newly developed, allelectric Husqvarna Pioneer (MY25). A lithium-ion battery has been specially developed for these two models, which has a capacity of 5.5 kWh and enables enduro riding times of up to three hours. In addition, the partially updated, all-electric minicross models of the KTM, Husqvarna and GASGAS brands were presented in the past fiscal year. These offer the next generation of drivers an entry point into electric mobility and are offered in various variants.
At the same time, the group is working on other electrical products that will complement the product portfolio in the future. The KTM E9 is intended to reach a new target group as a new hybrid of e-bikes and e-motocross motorcycles. The aim is to reach series production readiness with the developments in 2025 and to introduce the KTM E9 to the market in the 2026 financial year. The GASGAS TXE, which is also under development, has already been tested in racing situations at the TrailGP. What is special compared to other e-motorcycles is the development of this vehicle with a transmission, gears, a mechanical clutch and a flywheel.
In addition to product developments, the Group also engaged in research on subcomponents in the 2024 financial year. As a member of several research groups, KTM has been involved in environmentally friendly forms of mobility. The multi-year project "LiONESS", funded by the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG), aims to develop new simulation and measurement methods for the further development of battery-powered vehicles of class L (class of motorcycles/motor vehicles). In doing so, the project takes into account the efficiency, safety and sustainability of the batteries. KTM is responsible for product management and the transfer of the sustainability requirements achieved into the general product requirements.
The "EMotion" research project was successfully completed in the 2024 financial year. In four project years, two prototypes of energy-efficient, electric L-category vehicles were developed and tested. Criteria such as lightweight construction and efficiency were taken into account. The know-how and all the knowledge gained through the innovative project will be used for further development work on production vehicles and in various work processes.
In addition, the Group continued to be active in the Swappable Batteries Motorcycle Consortium (SBMC) in the 2024 financial year. The aim of the consortium is to facilitate the use of L-category light electric vehicles through replaceable batteries and to promote the development and deployment of relevant charging infrastructure. Common battery specifications facilitate the introduction of stations to replace corresponding batteries. The activities are complemented by the EU-funded project "Stan4SWAP". In the course of this, a standardization roadmap for battery replacement of Category L vehicles is to be developed by November 2025.
In recent years, the noise emission behaviour of motorcycles has become an important acceptance criterion for this vehicle category. While the noise level for street-legal motorcycles is specified and progressively reduced by international homologation standards, there is no uniform regulation for offroad sports motorcycles.
The EU project "LENS" aims to reduce noise and pollutant emissions. In addition to best practice examples, proposals for regulations to improve the performance of future vehicles will also be developed. The project is scheduled to be completed in the 2025 financial year after a three-year project period. The contribution of KTM Forschungs & Entwicklungs GmbH in the past financial year included the provision of test motorcycles and expertise as well as support for the partners in the preparation of the results reports.
The implementation of the EU5+ emission requirement for the off-road and street models, which had been planned for several years, was completed in the 2024 financial year. In the future, all new models registered in Europe will meet these EU5+ requirements.
In the fiscal year, the development of the automated manual transmission (AMT) was completed by the Group. From the 2025 model year, this is to be used in selected premium models. The AMT gives the driver the flexibility to choose between manual or automated mode. Depending on the selected shift mode, the change to the next gear is automatic or manual by means of a gear lever or paddle shifter. In both modes, no manual clutch activation is required for starting and changing gears. In automatic mode, you can also choose between comfort and sport mode. In MotoGP™, a 40% share of non-fossil fuels was already used in the 2024 season. From 2027, this percentage will be increased to 100%. Testing in motorsport and the resulting and subsequent technology transfer into series production application is an important pillar for incorporating innovation from racing into future models of the Group. This will also enable the gradual introduction of e-fuels and thus gradual decarbonisation in the vehicle fleet.
The use of high-quality materials in all vehicles, the resulting reduction in vehicle weight and the associated potential for reducing fuel consumption and emissions as well as improving driving characteristics are another pillar of the development philosophy pursued.
In the field of materials research, the focus in the 2024 financial year was on the development of a catalogue for the analysis of requirements for existing and potentially future materials. Plastic components used were assigned to different categories. Based on the requirements, components were identified that could potentially be made from recycled plastics. The first prototypes are in the test phase. If the results of the material and component tests are positive and proof of technical feasibility has been provided, the recycled plastics can be released for future series use. Building on the project, internal material sources for secondary plastics will also be analysed and an approach for closed-loop recycling will be developed.
The introduction of new safety and comfort functions in vehicles has been accompanied by a significant increase in the complexity of the electrical/electronic system of motorcycles in recent years. In fiscal 2024, the revised radar-based assistance systems were presented in cooperation with Bosch. The front radar system, called Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), offers a wide range of advantages in terms of driving comfort and safety, such as keeping distances from road users in front. The rider has three different riding settings at his disposal: "Dynamic" with a quick response to changing traffic conditions, "Comfort" for smooth adjustments to changes in speed, and "Group Ride", which allows riders to ride in larger groups of motorcycles and focuses on the next object with lateral offset. In addition, the ACC offers an overtaking assistant, cornering speed control, brake assist and collision warnings, among other things.
The project on acoustically optimised warning messages for all age groups was completed in the 2024 financial year and a patent application was filed. The R&D team worked on acoustic warning messages that will enable the driver to recognize a critical situation in time and to be able to react to it in time. These new findings and developments were created through cooperation with the University of Dresden. With the increasing spread of headsets, the group expects a large user base and thus an improvement in safety for end customers.
If accident situations nevertheless occur, the group develops an SOS signal to make it easier to quickly find the injured motorcyclist. The aim is to attract the attention of passers-by and rescue organisations through acoustic and visual signals and to guide them faster and more precisely to the scene of the accident.
The company-wide digitalization initiatives will continue to address the influence of artificial intelligence, the expansion of connectivity and the strengthening of the dealer network with B2B2C technologies. In the future, an end-to-end data chain will be developed along the product-life and customer loyalty cycle, which follows the service orientation and the customer-centricity approach and will increase data quality and availability for the group and the motorcyclist. Furthermore, the Group will prioritize increasing efficiency in the value creation processes and actively monitor trends and technologies.
Through KTM Technologies GmbH and with its ongoing new projects in the third-party customer segment, a permanent build-up of know-how in the field of lightweight construction, composites, drive technologies and electromobility can also be ensured.

GASGAS showed the ECC and MXC series from the new eMTB generation as well as the stylish all-round cruisers, the MOTO 1 and MOTO 2.
The main purpose of the PIERER Mobility Group's risk management is to secure and strengthen the company through a timely, complete and transparent assessment of financial, operational and strategic opportunities and risks.
The Group has an enterprise risk management system that centrally records the Group-wide opportunities and risks according to specialist areas and, if applicable, geographical areas. Operational responsibility and the assessment of Group-wide opportunities and risks is carried out by the "Risk Management & Dealer Financing" department of KTM AG, which is also responsible for coordination and in which ESG management is anchored, and the local management. These report directly to the Executive Board of KTM AG and are supervised by the latter and the Group Executive Board of PIERER Mobility AG.
A preventive analysis of possible events is also the task of risk management. In addition, it is important to actively manage opportunities and risks and to define and evaluate appropriate measures with the affected business units.
The Group's ERM ensures a continuous, multi-stage process for managing all operational and strategic opportunities and risks. This process combines elements from the bottom-up and top-down approach and includes the identification and evaluation of opportunities and risks as well as the definition of measures as well as monitoring and reporting. This forms the basis for uniform reporting throughout the Group.
As part of holistic risk management, this process also takes into account the opportunities and risks associated with environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues.
The main objective of opportunity and risk management is the active, continuous and controlled influence of opportunities and risks. The corporate strategy and questions of profitability are taken into account. The handling of risks and opportunities is defined on a case-by-case basis. Risks can be minimized, avoided or, in individual cases, consciously taken. Opportunities are evaluated and, if the result is positive, exploited through proactive action and targeted investments. Which of the strategies mentioned is chosen is determined by the risk owner. This is followed by an ongoing evaluation of the strategy. Risk management is regularly informed. Opportunities and risks with regard to sustainability issues are managed in cooperation with the relevant department. This process is carried out in particular by the upper and middle management levels of KTM AG and monitored by the Executive Board of PIERER Mobility AG, among others.
As part of the process, the ERM identifies and evaluates opportunities and risks in equal measure. A distinction is made between short-term opportunities and risks with a time horizon of up to one year and long-term, strategic opportunities and risks with a period of five years and more. In this way, ESGrelevant opportunities and risks with a longer time horizon are also identified and adequately evaluated.
After the structured identification of all opportunities and risks, the overall risk inventory is consolidated. A Monte Carlo simulation results in the overall risk position and the required key figures. In addition, the Group's greatest opportunities and risks are identified and evaluated.
As part of the ERM process, comprehensive reporting was implemented. Risk management reports directly to the Board of Management of KTM AG. In addition to further monitoring, a report including aggregation at Group level on the overall risk situation is regularly prepared for this and the Group Management Board of PIERER Mobility AG. In addition, the Audit Committee and the Supervisory Board are informed about the status quo and progress.
In the event of changes in the risk situation, the risk owners report on an ad hoc basis to the risk management team and subsequently to the Executive Board of KTM AG. This allows a timely and transparent assessment of the current overall risk situation. In 2024, an increase in ad hoc reporting was observed.
The following tabular overview shows the main identified opportunities, risks and measures for 2024.
The macroeconomic conditions that occurred in the course of the second half of the year led to an unexpectedly high market and sales risk in the core markets, which also had a stronger impact than expected on planned measures. For the 2025 financial year, a liquidity risk has been identified for KTM AG due to the market and sales risk as well as the high level of inventory.
On November 29, 2024, KTM AG and its subsidiaries KTM Components GmbH and KTM Forschungs & Entwicklungs GmbH filed for judicial restructuring proceedings with self-administration. The restructuring plan drawn up afterwards was accepted by the creditors on 25 February 2025. To finance the agreed cash quota of 30%, which is a condition precedent for the successful completion of the restructuring proceedings, it was possible to raise funds in the three-digit million range. The confirmation of the legal force of the restructuring plans is expected for mid-June 2025. After the legal effect has become final, the restructuring proceedings are terminated. For a further explanation of the financial risks arising from the restructuring proceedings and the resulting presentation in the consolidated financial statements, please refer to the more detailed explanations in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Despite the prompt updating of all opportunities and risks, short-term, unforeseeable events can lead to the fact that the presentation of the relevant opportunities and risks does not take into account all eventualities, in particular those of the failure of the investor talks and thus of the restructuring proceedings.

In a first step, the possibilities that were in place on the cut-off date of December 31, 2024 are presented. The changes to the instruments mentioned after the balance sheet date are described at the end of this item (see also the chapter on events after the balance sheet date):
Due to the authorization granted by the Annual General Meeting on April 29, 2022 and the amendment to the Articles of Association adopted at the same time, the Company's Articles of Association contain the following provision as Section 5 "Authorized Capital":
a) In accordance with Section 169 of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG), the Management Board is authorized, with the consent of the Supervisory Board, to increase the Company's share capital of EUR 33,796,535.00 by 29.04.2027, if necessary in several tranches, against cash and/or non-cash contributions of up to EUR 16,898,267.00 by issuing up to 16,898,267 no-par value bearer shares to up to EUR 50,694,802.00 and to determine the issue price as well as the terms of issue and the further details of the implementation of the capital increase in agreement with the Supervisory Board and, if necessary, to offer the new shares to the shareholders for subscription by way of indirect subscription rights in accordance with Section 153 (6) of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG).
Due to the conditional capital created by the Annual General Meeting on April 21, 2023, and the amendment to the Articles of Association adopted for this purpose, the Company's Articles of Association contained the following provision as Section 5a "Contingent Capital" as of the balance sheet date:
In accordance with Section 159 (2) (1) of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG), the Company's share capital will be increased by up to EUR 4,375,000,000.00 by issuing up to 4,375,000 ordinary bearer shares with no par value (no-par value shares) for issuance to creditors of financial instruments pursuant to Section 174 of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG) within the meaning of the resolution of the Annual General Meeting of 21.04.2023, which will be issued by the Company using the authorization granted at this Annual General Meeting, increased. The capital increase may only be carried out to the extent that the creditors of the financial instruments make use of their exchange and/or subscription rights to shares in the Company. The issue price and the exchange ratio are to be determined in accordance with recognised financial mathematical methods and the share price in a recognised pricing procedure. The newly issued shares of the conditional capital increase are entitled to dividends to the same extent as the company's existing shares. The Management Board is authorized, with the consent of the Supervisory Board, to determine the further details of the implementation of the conditional capital increase. The Supervisory Board is authorized to pass resolutions on amendments to the Articles of Association resulting from the issuance of shares from conditional capital.
The conditional capital increase serves to service any convertible bond that may be issued and may expressly only be carried out to the extent that creditors of convertible bonds make use of their right to exchange and/or subscribe for shares in the Company.
This conditional capital increase serves to issue new shares to creditors of financial instruments in accordance with Section 174 of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG), which will be issued by the Company using the authorization granted at the Annual General Meeting on April 21, 2023. This authorization granted by the Annual General Meeting on April 21, 2023, to issue financial instruments in accordance with Section 174 of the German Stock Corporation Act has not yet been used.
The Annual General Meeting on April 21, 2023, also passed the following resolutions with regard to the acquisition and sale of treasury shares:
a) Pursuant to Section 65 (1) (8) of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG), the Management Board is authorized for a period of 30 months from the date of the resolution to acquire treasury shares of the Company both on the stock exchange and over-the-counter, also to the exclusion of the shareholders' proportional tender rights and, without having to consult the Annual General Meeting again beforehand, to cancel these shares with the consent of the Supervisory
Board, if necessary. Trading in treasury shares is excluded as the purpose of the acquisition. The proportion of shares to be purchased may not exceed 10% of the share capital. The consideration per no-par value share to be acquired may not be more than 20% below or higher than the average unweighted closing price on the SIX Swiss Exchange over the past 10 trading days. The authorisation may be exercised in whole or in part or in several instalments and in pursuit of one or more purposes by the Company, its affiliated companies or by third parties on their behalf. The Supervisory Board is authorized to decide on amendments to the Articles of Association resulting from the cancellation of shares.
b) For a period of five years from the date of the resolution, the Management Board is authorized, with the consent of the Supervisory Board, to sell or use treasury shares in any manner other than via the stock exchange or by public offering for any legally permissible purpose, including excluding the shareholders' proportional right to purchase (exclusion of subscription rights) and to determine the conditions of sale. The authorisation may be exercised in whole or in part or in several instalments and in pursuit of one or more purposes.
After the balance sheet date, there were significant changes in the options for issuing or repurchasing shares:
The PIERER Mobility Group is in a tense economic situation. Particularly at the level of KTM AG, a capital injection was required in the short term to meet the quota in the restructuring plan. The raising of fresh capital is therefore a key challenge for PIERER Mobility AG in order to provide its main subsidiary, KTM AG, with financial support.
The conditional capital increase (Conditional Capital 2023) resolved at the Annual General Meeting on April 21, 2023 was therefore revoked at the Extraordinary General Meeting on January 27, 2025 and a new authorization and a new Conditional Capital 2025, which is to correspond to 50% of the Company's current share capital in the future, was resolved. This gave the Management Board the necessary flexibility to be able to react at short notice to financing and/or liquidity requirements of the PIERER Mobility Group.
On January 27, 2025, the Extraordinary General Meeting resolved the following with regard to the exclusion of subscription rights (on agenda item 2):
Furthermore, the following resolutions were passed at the Extraordinary General Meeting on January 27, 2025 – with regard to the conditional capital increase (see agenda item 3):
The internal control system of the PIERER Mobility Group has the task of ensuring the regularity and reliability of financial reporting, compliance with the legal and internal regulations applicable to the company, as well as the effectiveness and profitability of the company's operations, including the protection of assets against losses due to damage and malversations. In the design of the elements of the internal control system, internationally recognized frameworks for internal control systems (e.g. COSO framework) were taken into account. The system includes:
The Group is committed to the continuous development and improvement of its internal control system. To this end, its functionality is regularly monitored through process and data analyses as well as independent, external auditing activities. The main features of the internal control system with regard to the accounting process are presented below.
The organizational structure of the PIERER Mobility Group forms the basis for the control environment and the internal control system in the company. In the area of organizational structure in (group) accounting, there are clear areas of competence and responsibility at the various management and hierarchical levels of the Group. This applies on the one hand to the Group headquarters in Wels as well as to the Austrian and all international subsidiaries.
The Group's strong international orientation and the associated decentralised corporate and location structures will be countered by the centralisation of key corporate functions in the area of financial reporting at the Austrian locations (especially in Mattighofen). Particularly noteworthy for the responsibility for accounting and financial reporting are the areas of Finance, Controlling and Risk Management & Dealer Financing, which work closely together to develop the financial figures and are located directly under the Board of Management of KTM AG or the Group Board of Management. The administration, organisation and responsibility of these three divisions is the responsibility of the respective division managers. The strategy setting and monitoring of implementation is the responsibility of the Executive Board of KTM AG and the Group Executive Board.
In terms of process organization, the Group relies on a distinctive and comprehensive set of accounting, valuation and account assignment requirements. This provides an appropriate basis for a strong control environment and control system. New accounting standards are assessed with regard to their impact on the Group's financial reporting. The requirements for accounting and accounting processes are reviewed on an ongoing basis and adjusted at least annually, more frequently, if necessary, in close coordination with the responsible areas of responsibility. Reporting with the associated results will then be published in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Monitoring compliance with accounting-related regulations and controls is the responsibility of the relevant divisional management.
Risks related to the accounting process are collected and monitored by the respective divisional management and taken into account in the risk management process. The focus is on those risks that are to be considered material.
The main risks in accounting include the incomplete recording of accounting-relevant facts, errors in document entry and incorrect calculations. Complex accounting principles could lead to an increased risk of error, incorrect reporting and late balance sheet preparation. In addition, there is a risk of data access by unauthorized persons or data manipulation, failure of IT systems and data loss.
For the preparation of the financial statements, estimates must be made on a regular basis for which there is an inherent risk that future developments will deviate from these estimates. This applies in particular to the following items/items in the consolidated financial statements: social capital, outcome of legal disputes, impairment of receivables, shareholdings and inventories. In some cases, external experts are called in or publicly accessible sources are relied on in order to minimise the risk of misjudgement.
The Group has integrated its controls directly into the (group) accounting processes. In addition to process-independent external control mechanisms, an essential element is the principle of separation of functions. To ensure complete, timely and correct balance sheet preparation, quality assurance and control measures have been implemented in all areas involved in the accounting process. All control measures are applied in the ongoing business process to ensure that potential errors in financial reporting are prevented, detected and corrected. The group is always looking for technical-automated solutions to improve existing control mechanisms or implement new ones. On the one hand, the focus is on holistic applications that span the accounting process and, on the other hand, on detailed application automatisms, such as in the preparation of financial statements and in ongoing accounting. Furthermore, the application of internal company guidelines leads to a uniform treatment of business transactions as well as to uniform accounting and reporting.
Among other things, automated controls are integrated into the important IT systems with accounting relevance, which, among other things, are intended to prevent the incorrect recording of business transactions, to ensure the complete recording of business transactions or the evaluation of business transactions in accordance with accounting standards, or to support the verification of consolidation. In view of the increasing demands on IT systems in accounting and the constantly increasing technical possibilities, the Group regularly carries out IT-supported analyses of the effectiveness of the measures taken in order to identify and subsequently eliminate any control weaknesses that may have occurred.
Control measures with regard to IT security are a cornerstone of the internal control system. For example, the separation of sensitive activities is supported by a restrictive assignment of IT authorizations. The ERP software used allows automated checks to take place, such as automated checks during invoice approval and invoice verification.
Responsibility for the effectiveness of the internal control system in the (group) accounting process is clearly regulated and lies with the responsible managers and process owners. In addition to the results of the company's internal assessment, the assessment of effectiveness also includes those of external audits, e.g. as part of the annual audit or external IT security audits, as well as those of the Supervisory Board and the Audit Committee. Weaknesses in the control system are corrected, taking into account their possible impact on accounting processes.
In addition to the legally required financial statements, which are made available to management levels, the Group has also implemented a comprehensive internal reporting system, which is prepared and distributed at different levels of aggregation depending on the recipient of the report. The aim is to simplify variance analyses, identify risks in the reporting process and enable strategic decisions through the standardisation in internal reporting.
Other key instruments of risk monitoring and control are the company-wide guidelines on the handling of material risks, planning and controlling processes, as well as ongoing reporting. The guidelines include the setting and control of limits, in particular with regard to the financial volume, staggered approval requirements up to the top management level, and procedures for limiting financial risks, e.g. the analysis of the financial stability of suppliers, as well as the strict requirement of the four-eyes principle for invoice and payment approvals.
In addition, the internal control system is based on precise information about the processes for accounting and financial reporting and also includes their upstream business processes, e.g. purchase requisitions or logistics processes. The effectiveness of the internal control system is reviewed by management to ensure that the results, which are transmitted to management in condensed report form, are analysed, evaluated and commented on.
The Executive Board and the Audit Committee are informed annually about the assessment of the effectiveness of the internal control system in accounting. In the event of significant changes in the effectiveness of the internal control system, immediate reporting is made to the Management Board and, if necessary, to the Supervisory Board, and adequate measures are taken to increase effectiveness.
For information on events after the balance sheet date, please refer to Chapter XI "Events after the Balance Sheet Date" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
KTM AG, KTM Forschungs & Entwicklungs GmbH and KTM Components GmbH were able to successfully conclude their reorganization proceedings with the timely deposit of the cash quota and the related court confirmation of the reorganization plan. The continued existence of the KTM Group has thus been secured, although uncertainties remain as described below. At no time during the reorganization proceedings did the management have any doubts as to the successful completion of the proceedings.
Nevertheless, uncertainties remain, as the going concern forecast is subject to certain assumptions and factors that are based on the occurrence of circumstances beyond the control of the KTM Group. In particular, the expected macroeconomic conditions should be noted. As explained in the introduction to the notes on the restructuring process, these circumstances represent a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the KTM Group's ability to continue as a going concern. In this case, the KTM Group may not be able to realize its assets and pay its liabilities in the ordinary course of business. At least for the 2025 financial year, the Group expects the economic environment to remain challenging. This is already reflected in the expected economic growth figures in the core markets of Europe and the
USA, although uncertainties regarding current political developments and the imposition of US import tariffs on Group products have increased considerably. In addition to the high wage settlements and the consequences of persistently elevated inflation rates, interest rates are expected to remain essentially at the previous elevated level. Overall, the resulting volatilities affect the Group's sales expectations in the USA and Europe in particular.
Despite the difficult environment, the group has loyal customers. There is great demand for the motorcycle models presented in autumn 2024. Nevertheless, the top priority is to reduce inventories. To achieve this goal, production capacities will be reduced even further in the 2025 financial year and calibrated accordingly to meet demand, but at the same time sufficient new models will be available at dealerships. As a result of these measures, the Group expects its and dealers' inventories to normalise by the end of 2025. This is in line with the management's goal of developing the previous product-related push strategy in sales from the granting of discounts to a pull strategy in which customer demand is to be increased through targeted advertising measures.
Due to the persistently challenging economic environment, the Management Board expects revenue for the 2025 financial year to be below the level of the previous financial year. At the same time, some of the cost-cutting measures taken will take longer from their implementation to their effect, so that a positive EBIT is not expected until the 2027 financial year - with the exception of the financial year 2025, which will show a positive EBIT due to the expected restructuring profit. With the capital contributed expected by the future investors, as well as the release of working capital and the realisation of the restructuring profit in the 2025 financial year, the continued existence of the KTM Group can be expected until positive operating income is achieved again in the 2027 financial year. The strategic objective is to place a stronger focus on the core business of motorcycles with its premium brands KTM, GASGAS and Husqvarna. The MV Agusta brand and the associated companies and business relationships are already classified as held for sale in the present consolidated financial statements and management report; the management expects the sale to be finalised in the second quarter of 2025. In addition, work is also being done to sell the business of KTM Sportcar GmbH and thus of the X-BOW. The business activities of PIERER New Mobility GmbH and its subsidiaries are also to be discontinued by the end of 2025.
Against the background of the successful completion of the restructuring proceedings of KTM AG and the measures taken to focus and redimension, the management assumes that the Group thus has a stable operating and financial basis.
The KTM Group had one of the most successful starts to a motorsport season. Winning the Dakar Rally at the beginning of 2024 was the first highlight, followed by the Superenduro World Championship title with seven victories out of a possible seven. This was followed by winning five out of a possible five Motocross MX-2 World Championship rounds, eight Supercross victories and two wins out of four races in Moto 3. In both the motocross, Supercross and Moto 3 constructors' championships, the KTM group leads.
The focus pursued is also evident in MotoGP: the orange colour scheme will once again showcase the MotoGP presence of the KTM Group in 2025. The Red Bull KTM Tech3 squad will join the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing team with Grand Prix winners Enea Bastianini and Maverick Viñales. The 26-year-old Italian and 29-year-old Spaniard will be fitted with a full KTM RC16 factory machine for the 2025 season as part of a multi-year agreement, forming an orange Red Bull quartet alongside stars Brad Binder and Pedro Acosta.
The investments made in recent years have secured the necessary production capacities for the coming years. Against this background, the targeted investments were subjected to a comprehensive assessment with the aim of analysing their strategic relevance and operational necessity. It is expected that this will significantly reduce capital expenditure until operating profitability is achieved without restricting the company's substance or future viability. However, the focus of investments will continue to be on the (further) development of existing and new models.
For the conclusion of the restructuring process, the KTM Group needed fresh equity from investors. In the course of the restructuring process, the Bajaj Group provided funds in the amount of € 800 million via the existing links with the PIERER Mobility Group. The KTM Group received the following funds until May 26, 2025
The successful completion of the restructuring process significantly reduced the net financial debt of the KTM Group. The aim is to bring net financial debt to a sustainably healthy level following the ongoing restructuring of the KTM Group.

PIERER Mobility AG is the holding company of KTM AG, one of Europe's leading motorcycle manufacturers. With a focus on the premium segment, the company brings together brands such as KTM, Husqvarna, GASGAS and MV Agusta under one roof. The premium brand range also includes the high-performance components of the WP brand and the special KTM X-BOW high-performance sports cars. Husqvarna and GASGAS electric bicycles as well as bicycles of the Felt brand complete the two-wheeler range of PIERER Mobility.
Until the financial year 2024, PIERER Mobility AG was included in its consolidated financial statements by PIERER Industrie AG, Wels, and Pierer Konzerngesellschaft mbH, Wels. All companies included in the consolidated financial statements of Pierer Konzerngesellschaft mbH and controlled or significantly influenced by Pierer Konzerngesellschaft mbH are shown as related parties in the category "Shareholders related companies". The consolidated financial statements of PIERER Mobility AG are filed with the Regional Court of Wels under the number FN 78112 x. The consolidated financial statements of Pierer Konzerngesellschaft mbH are filed with the Regional Court of Wels under the number FN 134766 k.
The shares of PIERER Mobility AG are primarily listed in the "Swiss Performance Index (SPI)" of the SIX Swiss Exchange in Zurich and are also listed in the Prime Market of the Vienna Stock Exchange.
As of November 29, 2024, after examining the alternatives, the Board of Management of KTM AG has filed an application for the opening of judicial restructuring proceedings with self-administration over the assets of KTM AG (file number 17 S 56/24b) and its subsidiaries KTM Components GmbH (file number 17 S 59/24v) and KTM Forschungs & Entwicklungs GmbH (file number 17 S 62/24k) at the Regional Court of Ried im Innkreis, Austria. The aim of the proceedings was to agree on a restructuring plan with the creditors and to continue the group after approval of this plan. This was to be made possible, among other things, by redimensioning the group to ensure its continued existence in the long term. The creditors of these three companies were finally offered a restructuring quota of 30% as a spot quota, payable by 23 May 2025.
The above-mentioned restructuring plan was finally accepted by a majority of the creditors on 25 February 2025. No appeals have been lodged by the creditors, which is why the determination of the 30% restructuring quota can no longer be legally challenged.
The restructuring proceedings of KTM AG and its two subsidiaries were formally concluded on 23 May 2025 by the deposit of the 30% spot quota of 22 May 2025 in the amount of EUR 525,000 thousand by the court confirmation of the restructuring plan. The final entry into force of the court confirmation will take place after the expiry of the statutory appeal period pursuant to Section 260 IO. Based on the information provided by legal experts, the management estimates the probability of a successful appeal to be low, even though an appeal represents a result outside the company's control. In the unlikely event of a successful appeal, there could be a significant delay in the completion of the restructuring proceedings and, if necessary, even significant changes to the restructuring terms. This could also influence management's assessment of the going concern assumption and lead to further adjustments to the consolidated financial statements.
These consolidated financial statements are prepared under the assumption of going concern. Management believes that the Company's continued existence is predominantly likely based on the following key assumptions:
Although management and independent experts assume that the going concern assumption is predominantly probable at the time the planning assumptions materialize, certain assumptions and factors are subject to material uncertainties as they are based on the occurrence of circumstances beyond the Company's control. These include, in particular, the macroeconomic conditions expected to restore profitability, the provision of the financing granted at least in the medium term, and the compliance of investors with the relevant provisions. Those circumstances therefore constitute a substantial uncertainty which may raise significant doubts as to the company's ability to continue its business. In this case, the company may not be able to realize its assets and pay its debts in the ordinary course of business.
The management is responding to these significant uncertainties with increased monitoring of the implementation of the restructuring plan and additional initiatives to reduce costs and increase profitability. In the 2025 financial year, the company was already successful in restoring profitability and implementing cost-saving measures on a significant scale. The necessary postponement of the resumption of full production at the Mattighofen site from April 2025, which was planned at the beginning of the year, was taken into account in the management's going concern forecast and had no negative impact on cash flow planning as at the balance sheet date.
On the basis of the assessments made by the management, the restructuring proceedings are generally not accompanied by any change in the accounting principles applied and the accounting and valuation policies (see above explanations on the assumption on the continuation of the company). The restructuring profit of 70% of the registered creditors' claims arising from the conclusion of the restructuring proceedings can only be realised by the Group once the restructuring plan becomes legally binding and thus only in the 2025 financial year (see Section XI "Events after the balance sheet date"). Due to the ongoing restructuring proceedings as of the balance sheet date of 31 December 2024 and the associated legal effect, the Group presents the formerly non-current financial liabilities subject to the restructuring proceedings as short-term. In the valuation of assets and the recognition of liabilities, the restructuring proceedings initiated in 2024 by both the KTM Group companies described above and the Group company described below and their consequences were taken into account on the basis of current knowledge at the time the balance sheet was prepared, although the court confirmation of the restructuring plan on May 23, 2025 and the associated debt relief represent events after the balance sheet date. The increased uncertainties regarding the planning assumptions as of December 31, 2024, were taken into account by applying safety discounts, in particular in the valuation of inventories and non-financial assets.
To the extent that specific accounting measures have resulted from the restructuring proceedings, these are explained in the relevant sections of the consolidated financial statements and management report.
On December 13, 2024, the management of Vöcklabrucker Metallgießerei GmbH filed an application for bankruptcy proceedings with the Regional Court of Wels (file number 20 S 140/24z). This does not result in any additional material risks for the KTM Group in connection with these consolidated financial statements and the reporting in the Group management report. The resulting risks are described together with the risks from the restructuring procedures of KTM AG, KTM Components GmbH and KTM Forschungs & Entwicklungs GmbH. With the opening of bankruptcy proceedings, KTM AG lost control of Vöcklabrucker Metallgießerei GmbH, which was therefore deconsolidated, as explained in more detail under point 9 "Changes in the scope of consolidation".
The consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2024 have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) as applied in the European Union. The additional requirements of Section 245a (1) of the Austrian Commercial Code (UGB) were also met. The financial statements were prepared on the assumption that the company will continue as a going concern, whereby reference is made in this regard to the explanations under point 2 "Ongoing restructuring proceedings, information in connection with insolvency proceedings".
The accounting of the companies included in the consolidated financial statements is based on uniform accounting standards. With the exception of newly applied standards and the adjustment of accounting for written put options on non-controlling interests described below, these are identical to those of the 2023 financial year and were applied by all companies included. The individual financial statements of all subsidiaries have been prepared as of the reporting date of the consolidated financial statements.
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in the functional currency of the parent company, the euro. Unless otherwise indicated otherwise, all amounts are rounded to the nearest EUR 1,000 (EUR thousand), although rounding-related differences may occur.
The consolidated balance sheet is divided into non-current and current assets and liabilities. The presentation of the consolidated income statement is based on the cost of sales method. The consolidated statement of cash flows is prepared using the indirect method.
All current assets and liabilities are generally realised or settled within a period of twelve months after the balance sheet date or a business cycle. All other assets and liabilities are generally realised or settled outside this period.
In the present consolidated financial statements, there were no further changes in accounting policies except for the newly applied standards and the adjustment of the written put options on non-controlling interests.
In the 2024 financial year, the KTM Group adjusted the accounting for callable non-controlling interests (NCI put options). The adjustment was made due to the acquisition of MV Agusta Motor S.p.A. described in Item 9 "Changes in the scope of consolidation", as the previously existing NCI put option, and the option liability recognized in connection with it were of minor importance. In order to ensure a better and more accurate presentation of NCI put options in the consolidated financial statements, the accounting has been adjusted as follows.
Previously, a financial liability was recognised for the callable non-controlling interests and the non-controlling interests continued to be recognised in equity. The adjusted presentation follows the so-called method of partial profit realisation, according to which the put options of the minority shareholders are regarded as equity providers of the Group during the year and are therefore taken into account accordingly in the appropriation of profits. On each reporting date, the corresponding non-controlling interests are derecognised against the purchase price liability and equity without affecting profit or loss. The non-controlling interests in equity are reclassified from the item "non-controlling interests" to the item "reserves including consolidated net profit" within equity.
As of December 31, 2023, this will result in a reclassification of EUR 3,250 thousand (as of December 31, 2022: EUR 5,296 thousand). As the change in accounting policy is limited to this point, the Group considers that the inclusion of a third column in the balance sheet does not provide any additional information value to the financial statements.
The change can be summarized as follows:
| THOUS | 12/31/2023 (not adapted) |

The standards or interpretations to be applied in the future are not expected to result in any material changes to assets, liabilities or other disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The only exception is the firsttime application of IFRS 18. The Group is currently assessing the potential impact of the new standard, in particular with regard to the structure of the income statement, the cash flow statement and the additional disclosure requirements for management performance measures. The group is also looking at the impact on the way information is grouped in the financial statements, including the items currently referred to as "other".
The PIERER Mobility Group assumes that there will be no material impact on the consolidated financial statements due to the standards to be applied in the future.
To a certain extent, estimates and assumptions must be made in the consolidated financial statements that affect the assets and liabilities on the balance sheet, the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the balance sheet date and the presentation of expenses and income in the financial year. When making estimates, the Management Board considers empirical values and current forecasts. The amounts actually generated may differ from the estimates if assumed parameters develop contrary to expectations. If new circumstances become known, they will be taken into account accordingly and previous assumptions will be adjusted.
As a result, the Group incurred additional cash expenses and income totalling EUR -2,716 thousand. As of the balance sheet date of 31 December 2024, the Group has some remaining foreign currency derivatives in cash-flow hedge relationships. Details on the sensitivities that exist for currency and interest rate risks can be found in the explanatory notes in point VII "Financial risks".
In the case of leases, estimates are made about the economic useful life and interest rates. The economic useful life is assumed to be analogous to that of non-leased assets, as their operational use does not differ from each other. Essentially, the assumed economic useful life corresponds to the term of the leasing contract. The interest rates used are based on interest rate swap curves of different currencies and maturities based on the external rating of PIERER Mobility AG, which were used according to the duration of the leases. Further information on this can be found under Item 25 "Property, Plant and Equipment" and under Item 45 "Leases as lessees".
• In the case of inventories, estimates are made in connection with consumption follow-up procedures and range analyses. In addition, impairment requirements due to long storage periods and limited sales opportunities are recorded on a case-by-case basis. Due to the risks that have become apparent in the course of the restructuring proceedings, there is significant future uncertainty in the determination of the net realisable value in accordance with IAS 2 and thus in the valuation of inventories, which the calculation methodology used to date does not fully meet. In particular, the success of the reduction of the high stock levels via advertising and discount campaigns as well as an increased variability in customer demand, which may be uncertain with regard to their purchasing decisions due to the insolvency proceedings, can be seen as significant increased uncertainties, which are reflected in the valuation of inventories. Due to the maintenance of warranty services, the availability of spare parts, etc. Against this background, the Group recognized an additional impairment requirement for inventories in the 2024 financial year. Since a more detailed allocation is not possible due to the extraordinary nature of the insolvency law processes, the previous valuation methodology was adjusted on a flat-rate basis and the additional burden was reflected in the regular model year devaluation based on empirical values. In order to reflect the above-mentioned risks, a management overlay was applied in addition to the previous valuation scheme, according to which the heuristic used for model year depreciation assumes a more advanced aging of the underlying inventory of finished motorcycle goods. Overall, the inventory of finished motorcycle goods was devalued more sharply by EUR 13,961 thousand.
• Furthermore, PIERER New Mobility Deutschland GmbH is subject to an ongoing tax audit in Germany. Due to claims identified by the tax audit, there is a fundamental risk of the company having to pay tax arrears. PIERER New Mobility GmbH considers the claim made by the tax authorities to be unfounded. Against this background, alternative courses of action are currently being explored, in particular a crossborder mutual agreement procedure between the tax authorities of Germany and Austria. Due to what PIERER New Mobility GmbH considers to be an unfounded claim and an estimated low risk of paying back taxes, this matter was not recognized in the 2024 consolidated financial statements.
The following discretionary decisions have been made in the application of accounting policies in the PIERER Mobility Group:
• Development
Development costs are capitalized according to the accounting policy shown. The initial capitalisation of the costs is based on assumptions made by management to assess the future economic benefits of the expenditure incurred and the technical feasibility of the developed product or process as well as its marketability.
Estimates are made on the disclosure of liabilities under the Supplier Finance Program, whereby the Supplier Financing Program was discontinued due to the insolvency proceedings. For further information, see Section 37 "Other current and non-current liabilities and trade payables".
• Consolidation
In determining whether control exists in accordance with IFRS 10, management exercises judgment in determining the relevant activities of the subsidiaries and whether the Group currently has the ability to direct the relevant activities based on existing rights to the subsidiaries. KTM AG and its subsidiaries were subject to restructuring proceedings with self-administration as at December 31, 2024 (see note 2). Due to the ongoing restructuring proceedings and the lack of financial resources of PIERER Mobility AG as at the balance sheet date, the management has assessed whether there are financial barriers preventing PIERER Mobility from exercising its rights as at December 31, 2024. As at the balance sheet date, the management of PIERER Mobility AG assessed a successful completion of the restructuring process of KTM AG while retaining control of PIERER Mobility AG as highly probable. The circumstances that occurred after the balance sheet date, such as the acceptance of the quota by the creditors and the court confirmation of the reorganization plan, confirm the assessment made on the balance sheet date from the management's point of view. Based on these facts, the management came to the conclusion that deconsolidation and recognition of a deconsolidation gain as of the balance sheet date and a new consolidation of KTM AG and its subsidiaries within the balance sheet preparation period would not lead to an appropriate presentation of the facts. The management of PIERER Mobility AG has therefore decided to continue to present KTM AG and its subsidiaries as fully consolidated companies in the consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2024 and to disclose the procedure in the notes.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management has taken into account the effects of climate change, in particular in relation to the disclosures in risk reporting, non-financial reporting and the Group's stated sustainability targets. These considerations did not have a material impact on the financial reporting judgements and estimates. This is also in line with management's assessment that climate change is not expected to have a material impact on the assessment of going concern in the context of financial statements. The following points were taken into account:
All subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements of PIERER Mobility AG by way of full consolidation. Subsidiaries are companies controlled by the Group. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control begins and until the date on which control ends. Unless otherwise stated, the amount of non-controlling interests is recognised as the pro rata net assets of the acquired company excluding goodwill.
Shares in associates are reported in the balance sheet item " Financial assets accounted for using the equity method".
The reporting currency of the PIERER Mobility Group is the euro. The subsidiaries and the investments accounted for using the equity method prepare the annual financial statements in their functional currency. Assets and liabilities included in the financial statements to be consolidated are translated using the midmarket exchange rate on the balance sheet date and the items in the profit and loss account are translated into the average foreign exchange rate for the financial year. The following exchange rates that are significant for the PIERER Mobility Group were used for the currency translation into the reporting currency:
| Closing | Average price | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12/31/2024 | 12/31/2023 | 2024 | 2023 | ||
| US-Dollar | 1.0389 | 1.1050 | 1.0808 | 1.0829 | |

| Chinese renminbi | 7.5833 | 7.8509 | 7.7733 | 7.6839 |
All subsidiaries that are under the legal or de facto control of PIERER Mobility AG are included in the present consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024. The number of companies in the scope of consolidation developed as follows in the 2024 financial year:
| Fully consolidated companies | At Equity companies | |
|---|---|---|
| Balance as of 12/31/2022 | 76 | 5 |
| Consolidation Group Additions | 4 | 0 |
| Disposals of consolidation group | 0 | -1 |
| Balance as of 12/31/2023 | 80 | 4 |
| Consolidation Group Additions | 9 | 2 |
| Disposals of consolidation group | -10 | -1 |
| of which disposals due to merger | -8 | 0 |
| Balance as of 12/31/2024 | 79 | 5 |
| of which foreign companies | 54 | 2 |
PIERER Mobility AG, as the parent company of the PIERER Mobility Group, was not included in this list. The companies included in the consolidated financial statements and their first-time consolidation dates are listed in Chapter XII "Group companies (shareholdings)".
The Group's Management Board has already made the strategic decision to exercise the call option granted to the Group under the cooperation agreement with MV Agusta Motor S.p.A. until the end of the 2023 financial year and to acquire a further 25.0% of MV Agusta Motor S.p.A. in spring 2026. In February 2024, both parties agreed that this call option can be exercised immediately, increasing the Group's stake in MV Agusta Motor S.p.A., which was previously held at equity, to 50.1%. The agreement was completed in March 2024, making MV Agusta Motor S.p.A. a fully consolidated subsidiary of the Group as of March 1, 2024.
MV Agusta Motor S.p.A. holds 100% of the shares in its subsidiaries Centro Stile MV Agusta S.r.l., Borgo Maggiore, San Marino, and MV Agusta USA LLC, Pennsylvania, United States. These subsidiaries were also included in the Group's first-time consolidation. In addition, MV Agusta Motor S.p.A. holds 100% of the shares in MV AGUSTA Operations GmbH, Cologne, Germany, which has been in liquidation since February 2024. Due to the resulting restrictions on the company's control and inmateriality, it was not included in the Group's scope of consolidation.
Until 29 February 2024, the stake in MV Agusta Motor S.p.A. in the Group was accounted for using the equity method, as the stake held was only 25.1%. Immediately before control is acquired, these previous shares must be remeasured at their fair value. This resulted in income of EUR 16,339 thousand, which is reported under other operating income. At the same time, it was recognised in profit or loss on the occasion of the fulfilment of existing business relationships (pre-existing relationship) on the basis of valuation transactions in other operating expenses (EUR 4,177 thousand) and on deferred tax income (EUR 961 thousand) based on them.
The agreed purchase price amounted to EUR 45,000 thousand (of which EUR 35,000 thousand in cash and EUR 10,000 thousand in shares of PIERER Mobility AG) plus EUR 70 thousand in foreign exchange transaction tax and an additional purchase price payment of at least EUR 5,000 thousand. The subsequent purchase price payment depends on the development of the enterprise value of the acquired company on the basis of an EBITDA multiple based on the annual financial statements for the 2026 financial year. Based on current planning, this earn-out liability was taken into account in the purchase price with an amount of EUR 4,242 thousand.
The contractual arrangements include put options for the remaining non-controlling interests in which the Group is the standstill. The value depends on the future development of MV Agusta Motor S.p.A., in particular the development of the enterprise value of the acquired company on the basis of an EBITDA multiple. The Group accounts for this right of tender of the minority shareholders according to the partial profit recognition method, according to which the minority shareholders are allocated a share of the result and recognized in the income statement. At the same time, the corresponding non-controlling interests are derecognised against the purchase price liability and equity at each balance sheet date. At the time of the first-time consolidation, the corresponding financial liability from this put option amounted to EUR 50,711 thousand according to the underlying planning.
The transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method in accordance with IFRS 3 using the full goodwill method.
The fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities of MV Agusta Motor S.p.A. and its subsidiaries in the scope of consolidation at the time of initial consolidation (as at 1 March 2024) are as follows:
| THOUS | |
|---|---|
| Non-current assets | 88,094 |
| Current assets | 33,511 |
| Of which receivables from consolidated subsidiaries | 1,341 |
| Long-term liabilities | 13,279 |
| Current liabilities | 44,700 |
| Of which liabilities to consolidated subsidiaries | 25,405 |
| Net | 63,626 |
| Fair value of shares previously accounted for using the equity method | 27,575 |
| Fulfilment of existing business relationships (pre-existing relationship) | 12,311 |
| Currency | 35,070 |
| Equity Instruments | 10,000 |
| Purchase price liability | 4,242 |
| Consideration transferred | 89,198 |
| Non-controlling interests | 50,711 |
| Net | -63,626 |
| Goodwill | 76,283 |
| Consideration paid | -45,070 |
| Cash and cash equivalents received | 707 |
| Net outflow of cash and cash equivalents from the acquisition | -44,363 |
The goodwill of EUR 76,283 thousand shown above (full goodwill method) results from the company's earnings potential, which is not to be allocated to individually capitalisable items in accordance with IFRS. In principle, the goodwill is to be allocated in its entirety to the cash-generating unit "KTM". Due to the temporal proximity between the initial consolidation and the classification as a disposal group within the meaning of IFRS 5, the scope of the transaction itself and the lack of realisation of the material and economic synergies arising from it, goodwill in the 2024 financial year was recognised and measured as part of the disposal group. The corresponding consequences of this, in particular the impairment of this goodwill, are described in more detail in point 33 "Assets held for sale".
With the full consolidation, the Group has also acquired the "MV Agusta" brand in its entirety. The fair value of the brand amounted to EUR 37,982 thousand. In addition, the Group has taken into account pre-existing relationships with MV Agusta Motor S.p.A., resulting in an expense of EUR 4,177 thousand due to the revaluation of these existing relationships and a derecognition of an intangible asset in the amount of EUR 20,166 thousand. The expenses incurred were recorded under other operating expenses (see above).
As part of the acquisition, fair values for trade receivables in the amount of EUR 1,947 thousand and other receivables and assets in the amount of EUR 14,741 thousand were acquired. The receivables that are likely to be irrecoverable are considered to be insignificant. Since full consolidation, MV Agusta Motor S.p.A. and its subsidiaries have contributed EUR 3,944 thousand to consolidated revenues and EUR 1,901 thousand to net income for the period (before consolidation effects). If the acquisition had already taken place on January 1, 2024, the contribution to consolidated sales would have remained unchanged and the contribution to net income for the period would have amounted to EUR 2,787 thousand. The unchanged effect on Group sales is due to the fact that MV Agusta S.p.A. generated sales exclusively with subsidiaries of the Group before full consolidation.
At the end of the 2024 financial year, the Executive Board of KTM AG passed a resolution to sell the shares held in all MV Agusta companies in the 2025 financial year. Your assets and liabilities have been measured and segregated as a disposal group in accordance with IFRS 5 requirements. The related information can be found under item 33 "Non-current assets held for sale and disposal groups".
PIERER New Mobility has acquired 50.1% of the shares in FELT Bicycles GmbH from Pierer 2 Radbeteiligungs GmbH with a purchase agreement dated July 1, 2024. FELT Bicycles GmbH and its 100% stake in FELT Bicycles North America Inc., based in California, USA, was previously held by PIERER New Mobility GmbH with a 19.9% stake using the equity method. The purchase price amounted to EUR 1,904 thousand and was paid by bank transfer.
The transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method in accordance with IFRS 3 using the partial goodwill method.
The fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities of FELT Bicycles GmbH and its subsidiaries in the scope of consolidation at the time of initial consolidation (as of July 1, 2024) are as follows:
| THOUS | |
|---|---|
| Non-current assets | 3,700 |
| Current assets | 20,887 |
| Long-term liabilities | 29 |
| Current liabilities | 21,088 |
| Net | 3,471 |
| Fair value of shares previously accounted for using the equity method | 643 |
| Currency | 1,904 |
| Consideration transferred | 2,547 |
| Non-controlling interests | 1,041 |
| Net | -3,471 |
| Goodwill | 117 |
| Consideration paid | -1,904 |
| Cash and cash equivalents received | 43 |
| Net outflow of cash and cash equivalents from the acquisition | -1,861 |
The goodwill of EUR 117 thousand shown above (partial goodwill method) results from the company's earnings potential, which is not to be allocated to individually capitalisable items in accordance with IFRS. Goodwill is allocated in its entirety to the cash-generating unit "PNM".
With the full consolidation, the PIERER Mobility Group has also fully acquired the "FELT" brand. The fair value of the stamp amounted to EUR 3,700 thousand.
As part of the acquisition, fair values for trade receivables in the amount of EUR 2 thousand and other receivables and assets in the amount of EUR 1,463 thousand were acquired. The receivables that are likely to be irrecoverable are considered to be insignificant. Since full consolidation, FELT Bicycles GmbH and its subsidiary have contributed EUR 8,362 thousand to consolidated sales and EUR 549 thousand to the net profit for the period (before consolidation effects). If the acquisition had already taken place on January 1, 2024, the contribution to consolidated sales would have remained unchanged and the contribution to net income for the period would have amounted to EUR 219 thousand. The unchanged effect on consolidated sales is due to the fact that FELT Bicycles GmbH and its subsidiary did not commence their operating activities until after full consolidation.
In addition, FELT Bicycles GmbH has acquired 100% of the shares in the newly founded FELT Bicycles Espana S.L.U, Barcelona, Spain, as of September 1, 2024. This did not result in any material effects on the net assets, financial position or results of operations
The entire shares in Pierer Green Energy GmbH were acquired by Pierer Industrie AG, Wels, with effect from June 1, 2024, with a purchase price of EUR 250 thousand. Immediately after the initial consolidation, Pierer Green Energy GmbH was merged into KTM Immobilien GmbH.
All of the shares in PB Invest GmbH were acquired by KTM Components GmbH from PIERER Industrie AG with a legally binding contract with effect from September 1, 2024. PB Invest GmbH also held a 100% share in Vöcklabrucker Metallgießerei GmbH. Both companies have therefore been fully consolidated by the Group. The purchase price amounted to EUR 600 thousand. Immediately after the initial consolidation, PB Invest GmbH was merged into KTM Components GmbH. On December 13, 2024, the management of Vöcklabrucker Metallgießerei GmbH filed an application for bankruptcy proceedings with the Regional Court of Wels (file number 20 S 140/24z). The bankruptcy proceedings were accompanied by the loss of control exercised by the Group within the meaning of IFRS 10. Against this background, the Group has simplified the deconsolidation of Vöcklabrucker Metallgießerei GmbH as of 1 December 2024.
As part of the strategic decision to restructure and realign PIERER New Mobility GmbH, the sales subsidiaries of the bicycle division, PIERER New Mobility Suisse GmbH, PIERER New Mobility Espana S.L., PIERER New Mobility France SAS, PIERER New Mobility Italia S.r.l. and PIERER New Mobility Benelux SA, were merged with the KTM sales subsidiaries in the respective countries in the first half of 2024. Likewise, PIERER New Mobility Scandinavia AB, Örebro, Sweden was merged with one of the KTM sales subsidiaries on July 25, 2024.
By contract dated October 4, 2024, 49.0% of the shares in PIERER IMMOREAL GmbH, Wels, Austria, were acquired by Pierer Konzerngesellschaft mbH. The purchase price amounted to EUR 10,879 thousand. At the same time, financial receivables against PIERER IMMOREAL GmbH in the amount of EUR 24,689 thousand were redeemed by PIERER Industrie AG. Due to the factual circumstances, the Group exerts significant influence, which is why the company is included in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method. Due to the temporal proximity and insignificant movements in the meantime, October 1, 2024, is used as the acquisition date of the investment in the consolidated financial statements.
At PIERER Mobility AG, business activities are managed on the basis of the two divisions "Motorcycles" and "Bicycles". The individual divisions are managed separately and reported to PIERER Mobility AG in accordance with IFRS accounting standards. The key decision-maker relevant to the segment report is the full Board of Directors of PIERER Mobility AG. Segment reporting is carried out in accordance with the internal reports with the Motorcycle, Bicycle and Other segments.
The "Motorcycle" segment includes the development, production and sale of motorcycles under the "KTM", "Husqvarna Motorcycles" and "GASGAS" brands as well as components under the "WP" brand. As of December 31, 2024, the Motorcycle segment comprises 62 subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements in Austria, the United States, Japan, South Africa, Mexico, India, Australia and New Zealand, as well as in various other countries in Europe and Asia. It also holds shares in assembly companies in the Philippines and China.
PIERER New Mobility GmbH and its subsidiaries form the "Bicycle" segment of the PIERER Mobility Group. With the brands "Husqvarna E-Bicycles", "GASGAS Bicycles" and "FELT Bicycles", the focus is on the development, manufacture and trade of electric bicycles and bicycles. In total, the segment comprises 11 fully consolidated companies.
In the "Other" section, PIERER Mobility AG, PIERER Innovation GmbH, Avocodo GmbH, PIERER E-Commerce GmbH, PIERER E-Commerce North America Inc., DealerCenter Digital GmbH and Platin 1483 GmbH are summarised.
None of the segments is dependent on external customers within the meaning of IFRS 8.34. Deliveries and services between the segments are made at arm's length. The segment control parameter EBIT describes the operating result for the period before financial result and income taxes. The investments relate to asset additions from property, plant and equipment and intangible assets (excluding lease additions in accordance with IFRS 16). Earnings accounted for using the equity method are included in EBIT in accordance with the structure of the consolidated income statement. Working capital employed is the sum of inventories and trade receivables less trade payables as of the reporting date. Net debt corresponds to the sum of current and noncurrent financial liabilities (including lease liabilities) less cash and cash equivalents as of the reporting date.

The breakdown of sales revenue by geographical area can be found in point 10 "Revenues".
The consolidated income statement is prepared according to the cost of sales method.
Revenue is generally recognised after the transfer of risk in accordance with the terms and conditions (Incoterms) or after the time of provision of the service, less cash discounts, customer bonuses and discounts.
The breakdown by geographical area of external sales is based on the location of the customers. Sales by geographic region of the Group are as follows:
| THOUS | 2023 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Austria | 107,545 | 81,139 |
| Europe (without Austria) | 1,340,260 | 941,341 |

| Other | 437,383 | 311,093 |
| 2,661,210 | 1,879,021 |
Variable considerations such as price discounts, sales bonuses and discounts are reported as revenue reductions. The obligations for variable consideration are reported as contractual obligations within the meaning of IFRS 15. The contractual obligations for variable consideration regarding price discounts, sales bonuses and discounts amounted to EUR 46,744 thousand as of December 31, 2024 (31.12.2023: EUR 60,956 thousand).
As warranty services are not sold separately, they are merely an assurance that the products sold will meet the agreed specifications. Since these warranty services do not go beyond the statutory or industry-typical warranty obligations in terms of time or content, this is a so-called assurance-type warranty, which does not represent a separate performance obligation. Accordingly, warranty services will continue to be recognised in accordance with IAS 37.
The Group's cost of goods sold is made up as follows:

| Expenses with impairments in accordance with IFRS 5 | 0 | -147,311 |
| Expenses related to impairments | 0 | -507,971 |
| TOTAL | -799 | -565,004 |
The expenses from the changes in the scope of consolidation relate to expenses of EUR 6,192 thousand from the deconsolidation of Vöcklabrucker Metallgießerei GmbH, which is in bankruptcy proceedings, and expenses of EUR 4,177 thousand from the fulfilment of pre-existing business relationships in the course of the first-time consolidation of MV Agusta Motor S.p.A.
Other expenses in the 2024 financial year include various expenses that were incurred in connection with the restructuring proceedings, among other things, and could not be allocated to the other sub-areas. These are mainly expenses from legal, business and accounting consulting (EUR 18,869 thousand), expenses from claims conditionally registered in the course of the restructuring proceedings, which are included in the restructuring provision (EUR 12,804 thousand), as well as personnel expenses (EUR 6,380 thousand) and bank charges (EUR 2,850 thousand). In the previous year, this item consisted mainly of bank charges.
Expenses related to impairments include EUR 147,311 thousand from the classification of assets held for sale and disposal groups as well as EUR 360,660 thousand from the impairment test conducted in accordance with IAS 36. With regard to the impairment attributable to the disposal group, further information can be found under item 33 "Non-current assets held for sale and disposal groups ". For a more detailed presentation of the allocation of impairment requirements under IAS 36, please refer to Section 23 "Goodwill and impairment test under IAS 36". Since this is a pro rata impairment of assets of the entire CGU "KTM" and the CGU "PIERER New Mobility", an allocation to the other functional areas would, in the Group's view, distort the causal presentation in the income statement. Further explanations can also be found under Section 23 "Goodwill and impairment test in accordance with IAS 36".
Other operating income is recognised if the economic benefit from the underlying contract is probable and there is a reliable determination of the income.
The Group's other operating income totalled EUR 17,703 thousand (previous year: EUR 3,736 thousand). In the 2024 financial year, these mainly relate to the revaluation of the shares in MV Agusta Motor S.p.A. previously held using the equity method in the amount of EUR 16,339 thousand.
The profit and loss share of associates accounted for using the equity method is reported in the income statement as a separate item in the profit or loss of operating activities. Essentially, these are shareholdings that are integrated into the operational business activities of the PIERER Mobility Group as key suppliers or customers.
The result of companies accounted for using the equity method is as follows:
| THOUS | 2023 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Kiska GmbH | 706 | -7.033 |
| KTM Asia Motorcycle Manufacturing Inc. | -199 | -799 |
| China Zhejiang CFMOTO-KTMR2R Motorcycles Co., Ltd. | 6,993 | -832 |
| MV Agusta MOTOR SPA | -5,162 | 34 |
| Other | 0 | -392 |
| 2,338 | -9,022 |
The significant decline in the acquired earnings of Zhejiang CFMOTO-KTMR2R Motorcycles Co., Ltd. can be attributed to the write-down of receivables of 70% of the company's receivables, in particular against KTM AG, which is in restructuring proceedings. MV Agusta Motor S.p.A. was transferred to full consolidation as of March 1, 2024. The at-equity result of Kiska GmbH includes amortization of the company in the amount of EUR 6,142 thousand.
The Group's financial and investment earnings is made up as follows:

The Group's income and expense are divided into current and deferred taxes as follows:
| -15,720 | 196,691 | |
|---|---|---|
| Deferred taxes | -2,738 | 203,673 |
| of which from previous years | 1,185 | -2,601 |
| Current tax | -12,982 | -6,982 |
| THOUS | 2023 | 2024 |
Income taxes include taxes on income and income paid or payable in the individual countries as well as deferred taxes. The Austrian companies of the PIERER Mobility Group are subject to a corporate income tax rate of 23%.
As of 31.12.2024, deferred tax assets on loss carryforwards of domestic companies in the amount of EUR 206,742 thousand are recognised. The underlying loss carryforwards are to be offset against the restructuring profit in 2025. The change in deferred taxes relating to domestic loss carryforwards in the amount of EUR 187,825 thousand results from the derecognition of deferred tax assets on internal loss carryforwards capitalised on the previous reporting date in the amount of EUR 18,817 thousand and the capitalisation of deferred taxes on current losses in the amount of EUR 206,742 thousand.
Until 31.12.2023, PIERER Mobility AG, Wels, together with Pierer Konzerngesellschaft mbH, Wels, formed a group within the meaning of corporate income tax law. Since the 2024 financial year, PIERER Mobility AG, Wels, has been a group within the meaning of corporation tax law. The tax equalization of income between the group parent and the group member is regulated in the group and tax allocation agreement.
If positive income is attributed to the group parent by the group member, the positive tax allocation amounts to 23% of the attributed positive income. If losses are attributed, the group member does not receive a tax allocation. Losses that cannot be offset are kept in evidence for the group member for offsetting against its positive or positive overall group results in the future.
The calculation of foreign income taxes is based on the laws and regulations in force or passed in the individual countries. The income tax rates applied to foreign companies vary from 9% to 36.0%.
A reconciliation calculation between the expected tax income or tax expense for the financial year (application of the consolidated tax rate of 23% (previous year: 24%) to earnings before taxes) and the tax expense actually reported can be presented as follows:
| THOUS | 2023 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Earnings before income taxes | 92,133 | -1,276,598 |
| Expected tax expense/income | -22,112 | 293,618 |
| Non-temporary differences and other tax additions | -1,381 | 6,750 |
| Recognition / Value adjustments / Consumption of loss carryforwards | -2,764 | -89,869 |
| Taxes from previous periods | 750 | -20,838 |
| Effects of foreign tax rates | -839 | 2,498 |

| Tax rate changes | 1,271 | 0 |
| Other | 0 | -406 |
| -15,720 | 196,691 |
In the 2024 financial year, impairment losses were recognized due to accounting in accordance with IAS 36, which have an impact on the tax rate due to different foreign tax rates. The effects of foreign tax rates include EUR -2,737 thousand from the impairment.
In addition, the item "non-temporary differences" includes an impact of EUR -47,389 thousand from impairments of goodwill.
The non-temporary differences also include offsetting effects from intra-group write-downs and write-downs of intra-group receivables in the amount of EUR 45,868 thousand.
The reconciliation item "Recognition / valuation allowances / utilization of loss carryforwards" results from current losses and deductible temporary differences of companies outside the Austrian tax group for which no deferred tax assets are recognized due to a lack of recoverability.
Taxes from previous periods mainly relate to effects in connection with the change in the Austrian group structure.
The Group operates in various countries that have enacted new laws introducing the global minimum tax, in particular in Austria, where the Group's ultimate parent company is based. The Group expects to be subject to minimum tax in relation to its operations in Switzerland and Bulgaria, where the statutory tax rate is below 15%, as well as in Singapore, where taxation provides for a tax allowance that reduces our subsidiary's effective tax rate to below 15%. Since the new tax law in Austria came into force on 1 January 2024, this provision was applied for the preparation of the 2024 consolidated financial statements.
Profits from the Group's activities in Switzerland, Bulgaria and Singapore are subject to the minimum tax, and the tax payable on them represents an insignificant amount for the Group.
The Group applies the temporary mandatory exemption with regard to the accounting for deferred taxes resulting from the introduction of the global minimum taxation and recognises any taxes incurred in connection with the global minimum taxation as actual tax expense/income at the time of incurrence.
Earnings per share amounted to EUR -29.30 in the current financial year 2024 (previous year: EUR 2.37) and are calculated as follows:

In accordance with the provisions of the German Stock Corporation Act, the separate financial statements of PIERER Mobility AG as of December 31, 2024, prepared in accordance with Austrian accounting standards, form the basis for the dividend distribution.
For the 2024 financial year, it is proposed not to pay a dividend. A dividend of EUR 16,899 thousand was paid out of the retained profit for 2023.

As of December 31, 2024, 3,290 employees (previous year: 3,553) and 2,020 workers (previous year: 2,631) were employed. As of December 31, 2024, 4,099 employees (previous year: 4,970) are employed in Austria and 1,211 employees (previous year: 1,214) abroad. On average, the group employed 5,887 people (previous year: 6,268), of which 3,482 were white-collar workers (previous year: 3,486) and 2,406 blue-collar workers (previous year: 2,782).
Total personnel expenses in the 2024 financial year, excluding effects from the capitalization of development costs, amounted to EUR 450,788 thousand (previous year: EUR 456,206 thousand).
In accordance with IAS 36 "Impairments", goodwill is not amortized as planned but is subject to an annual impairment test.
For the 2024 financial year, the impairment test carried out revealed a need for impairments in the cashgenerating units "KTM", "PIERER New Mobility" (previous year: no impairment requirement).
The operating assets of the cash-generating units are compared with their value in use and depreciated to the lower value in use, unless there is a higher fair value less cost of sale. The value in use is determined using the discounted cash flow method, assuming a pre-tax WACC of 9.5% (2023: 11.1%) for KTM. For the "PIERER New Mobility" CGU, an after-tax WACC of 8.1% (2023: 8.6%) was used, as the input VAT WACC is not meaningful.
The forecast of cash flows is based on the financial budgets or forecast calculations approved by the management, taking into account the medium-term strategy goals. The medium-term planning includes a more detailed planning horizon of five years and is based on internal assumptions about future sales, price and cost developments, the future development of new markets and the composition of the product mix.
Subsequently, a rough planning phase of three years was consulted at the CGU "KTM", as at the end of the detailed planning phase no settled condition can be assumed due to the restructuring process in the KTM Group. A conservative sales development was assumed under the last periods of the detailed planning phase and the EBIT margin of the last detailed planning period was maintained unchanged. Depreciation and amortization and invested capital have been aligned. Subsequently, the cash flow of the last rough planning period was used to determine the estimated cash flows beyond this period by extrapolation, assuming constant evolution using a growth rate of 1% and going concern. The assumptions made are essentially based on many years of experience, historical development and management's assessment. In addition, the plausibility of the assumptions was analysed and assessed by external third parties in the course of the restructuring proceedings, whereby the results were in turn incorporated into the business planning.
As the impairment expense determined in this way amounts to EUR 334,684 thousand for CGU "KTM" in the current financial year (previous year: EUR 0 thousand) and EUR 25,976 thousand for CGU "PIERER New Mobility". This is initially attributable to the goodwill of the CGU "KTM" and the CGU "PIERER New Mobility", so that it was completely impaired. The excess amount was apportioned pro rata to the carrying amounts of the assets within the scope of IAS 36.
The breakdown of goodwill and its distribution among the respective CGUs is as follows:

As already stated under item 15 "Other operating expenses and impairment losses", the Group has fully recognized the above impairment loss of EUR 360,660 thousand under other operating expenses or recognized separately in the income statement. In our view, the pro rata allocation of impairment required by IAS 36 does not lead to a causation-based allocation of impairment to individual assets. For this reason, the Group estimates the information benefit for the report reader in the current presentation of the income statement to be higher than if this impairment expense were allocated to the individual functional areas. If, however, an attempt was made to allocate this impairment expense to the functional areas on the basis of simplifying various assumptions, the following hypothetical breakdown would result:
| THOUS | 12/31/2024 |
|---|---|
| Determined impairment requirements in accordance with IAS 36 | 360,660 |
| Attributed to other operating expenses | 360,660 |
| Simplified allocation in the case of causal allocability | |
| Cost of production of services provided to generate sales | 194,049 |
| Selling and racing expenses | 395 |
| Research and development expenses | 80 |
| Infrastructure and administrative expenses | 25,390 |
| Other operating expenses | 140,746 |
Intangible assets are capitalized at acquisition or production cost in the same way as property, plant and equipment and measured less depreciation. The scheduled depreciation is determined according to the straight-line depreciation method on the basis of the following useful lives:
| Years | Service life |
|---|---|
| Software | 3 - 5 |
| Intangible assets created by the company | 5 |
In the case of self-generated intangible assets, the production period is divided into a research, development and model maintenance phase. Costs incurred in the research and model update phase are recognised immediately in the income statement. Expenditure in the development phase is capitalised as intangible assets if the criteria of IAS 38.57 are met. The intangible assets generated by the company are measured at cost less depreciation and amortization. Scheduled depreciation is carried out according to the straight-line depreciation method on the basis of a useful life of essentially five years. The useful life of five years, which is used in particular for the capitalized development costs, is based on empirical values in connection with the underlying product life cycles. The scheduled depreciation of capitalized development costs that can be clearly assigned to specific products or processes takes place with the start of series production.
In the 2024 financial year, development costs of EUR 135,392 thousand (previous year: EUR 156,877 thousand) were capitalized and a total of EUR 183,637 thousand was amortized, of which EUR 101,818 thousand was written down from impairment in accordance with IAS 36 (previous year: EUR 68,164 thousand, of which EUR 0 thousand was written down in accordance with IAS 36). As of 31.12.2024, development costs with a carrying amount of EUR 352,879 thousand (previous year: EUR 506,666 thousand) are included in intangible assets.
Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life, such as the "KTM" brands in the amount of EUR 61,103 thousand (previous year: EUR 61,103 thousand) and "GASGAS" in the amount of EUR 10,355 thousand (previous year: EUR 13,346 thousand) recognised as part of the "KTM" brands recognised by purchase price allocations, are not depreciated as planned, but are subject to an impairment test in accordance with IAS 36 and any necessary impairments are recognised in the income statement. The Management Board assumes an indefinite useful life of the trademarks, as the rights in the relevant sales markets are not subject to any temporal, legal or contractual restrictions and there is no economic devaluation due to the lasting recognition of the trademarks. In the 2024 financial year, the above-mentioned brands were impaired by EUR 2,991 thousand as part of the impairment test. The "KTM" brand was not impaired in the 2024 financial year due to a liquidation value that exceeded the book value determined as part of a valuation report.
The breakdown of intangible assets and their development in the 2024 and 2023 financial years are presented in the following tables:

With a transfer agreement dated 17.09.2013, KTM AG has acquired the license right for the use of the "Husqvarna" brand from PIERER Industrie AG for EUR 10,000 thousand. The license right is depreciated as planned over the remaining useful life of 3 years.
The additions to intangible assets were corrected in the cash flow statement by EUR 38,483 thousand (previous year: EUR 33,381 thousand) with regard to their ineffectiveness.
In the 2024 financial year, development costs of non-usable assets in the amount of EUR 101,835 thousand (previous year: EUR 2,625 thousand) were impaired. The main reasons for the discontinuation of the underlying development projects were the change in the economic environment as well as the insolvency law processes in the course of the restructuring proceedings and corresponding corporate realignments.
The application of IAS 36 resulted in an impairment loss in the 2024 financial year, which was allocated pro rata to intangible assets in the amount of EUR 119,352 thousand – after impairment of existing goodwill (financial year 2023: no impairment requirement identified). This allocation mainly related to development costs: In the 2024 financial year, an impairment of EUR 46,923 thousand was allocated to the development costs of non-usable assets in accordance with IAS 36. In total, the impairment in accordance with IAS 36 within development costs amounted to EUR 101,818 thousand (previous year: EUR 0 thousand). A corresponding list can be found under Section 23 "Goodwill and impairment test in accordance with IAS 36".
Property, plant and equipment are valued at acquisition or production cost less depreciation. The scheduled depreciation is determined according to the straight-line depreciation method on the basis of the following useful lives:
| Years | Service life |
|---|---|
| Building | 10 - 50 |
| Technical equipment and machinery | 2 - 10 |
| Fixtures and fittings | 3 - 10 |
The calculation of the economic useful lives stated above is essentially based on empirical values on the wear and tear of the underlying assets in the course of their operational use. The above information on the useful life of the operating and office equipment has been changed from 3-8 years to 3-10 years compared to the previous year. From the Group's point of view, this newly mentioned period more accurately reflects the actual economic useful life of the underlying assets and does not lead to any changes in the assets, financial position and results of operations presented.
The production costs of self-built plants include the individual costs, including attributable material and manufacturing overheads. Financing costs arising from the direct allocation of debt capital or from the application of an average capitalisation interest rate to the expenses incurred are not capitalised in accordance with IAS 23 due to a lack of qualifying assets.
In accordance with IAS 20, investment grants from the public sector are to be treated as compensation for the associated depreciation. The net method according to IAS 20.24 (reduction of acquisition and production costs resulting in lower depreciation offset) is used. In the 2024 financial year, additions were reduced by a total of EUR 12,594 thousand (previous year: EUR 14,282 thousand), of which capitalized research and development expenses amounted to EUR 12,570 thousand (previous year: EUR 13,684 thousand).

Additions to property, plant and equipment include investments in the amount of EUR 39,241 thousand (previous year: EUR 32,546 thousand) as additions from leases that were not cash effective at the balance sheet date. For further details, please refer to point 45 "Leases as lessee". The additions to other property, plant and equipment were corrected in the consolidated statement of cash flows by EUR -5,646 thousand (previous year: EUR -4,389 thousand) with regard to their ineffectiveness.
As of the balance sheet date, property, plant and equipment in the amount of EUR 103,500 thousand (previous year: EUR 103,500 thousand) were secured by pledge deeds entered and deposited in the land register, primarily for liabilities to banks.
The application of IAS 36 resulted in an impairment loss in the 2024 financial year, which was allocated to property, plant and equipment pro rata in the amount of EUR 108,277 thousand (2023 financial year: no impairment requirement identified). A corresponding list can be found under Section 23 "Goodwill and impairment test in accordance with IAS 36". In addition, impairment losses on property, plant and equipment in the course of the classification of MV Agusta companies as held for sale were recognised in the amount of EUR 32,373 thousand. Further information can be found under item 33 "Non-current assets held for sale and disposal groups".
The companies accounted for using the equity method are associates and not joint ventures. The interests in associates that are included using the equity method are immaterial individually. As of December 31, 2024, the investments accounted for using the equity method are Kiska GmbH, KTM Asia Motorcycle Manufacturing Inc., CFMOTO-KTMR2R Motorcycles Co., Ltd., LX Media GmbH and PIERER IMMOREAL GmbH. The Changes in companies accounted for using the equity method can be found in Section 9 "Changes in the scope of consolidation".
Kiska GmbH is a design company that provides services in the field of development and design. The balance sheet date of Kiska GmbH is March 31, which was set before the acquisition of the stake. A change in the balance sheet date is not sought due to materiality considerations. For the purpose of accounting using the equity method, an unaudited interim financial statement as of December 31 was used in each case. In the current financial year 2024, impairment losses of EUR 6,142 thousand were recognized on the company.
KTM Asia Motorcycle Manufacturing Inc. was founded in June 2016 together with partner Ayala Corp. The company started the CKD (completely-knocked-down) assembly for KTM motorcycles in the Philippines in mid-2017.
KTM's joint venture in China with partner CFMOTO was established in fiscal year 2018 under the name "Zhejiang CFMOTO-KTMR2R Motorcycles Co., Ltd.". The company commenced operations in the 2021 financial year. In Hangzhou, China, mid-range motorcycles are produced. In the 2023 financial year, the KTM Group intensified its cooperation with CFMOTO and expanded production in the joint venture.
In the 2022 financial year, a cooperation agreement was concluded with the Italian motorcycle manufacturer MV Agusta. As part of that cooperation agreement, KTM AG acquired 25.1% of the shares in MV Agusta Motor S.p.A. based in Varese, Italy. In addition, at the beginning of March 2024, the Group acquired a further 25.0% stake in MV Agusta S.p.A. via an early exercise of an agreed call option. MV Agusta Motor S.p.A. thus became a fully consolidated subsidiary of the Group during the year, but its results for the months of January and February 2024 are still part of the accounting-equity accounting.
With a contract dated October 4, 2024, KTM AG has acquired 49.0% of the shares in PIERER IMMOREAL GmbH, Wels, Austria, from Pierer Konzerngesellschaft mbH, Wels, Austria. As at the balance sheet date, the shares were classified as held for sale, as explained in more detail in Note 33 "Assets held for sale".

Deferred taxes on tax loss carryforwards are recognised considering their prompt realisation. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are shown on a net basis with the same tax jurisdiction and similar maturity. For the differences in the tax base of fully consolidated or equity-accounted shares to the corresponding Group equity, deferred taxes are only deferred if realisation is likely in the foreseeable future. The calculation is based on the income tax rate customary in the respective country at the time of the expected reversal of the difference in value.
In total, deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated from the following balance sheet items:
| THOUS | 12/31/2023 | 12/31/2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Deferred tax assets: | ||
| Inventories | 11,709 | 13,970 |

| Netting | 40,123 | 206,491 |
| -120,665 | -893 |
The temporary differences in deferred tax liabilities in intangible assets are mainly due to development costs that cannot be capitalized for tax purposes and differences in the "KTM" brand's approach.
As in the previous year, deferred tax assets on financial assets largely relate to outstanding sevenths in accordance with Section 12 (3) (2) of the Austrian Tax Act (Austrian Tax Act). In the current financial year, open sevenths from previous years amounting to EUR 197 thousand have been considered to reduce income. Deferred tax assets were recognised for all outstanding depreciation and amortisation in accordance with Section 12 of the Austrian Corporate Income Tax Act (ÖKtG), as the requirements of IAS 12.34 et seq. are met.
In addition, there are deferred tax assets on loss carryforwards of the Austrian PIERER Mobility AG Group in the amount of EUR 206,742 thousand (previous year: EUR 19,968 thousand) and the KTM Australia subgroup in the amount of EUR 719 thousand (previous year: EUR 0 thousand). Please refer to Note 19 "Income taxes" for further details, in particular in connection with the restructuring process.

The tax loss in Austria can be carried forward indefinitely.
Deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses (including outstanding sevenths depreciation and interest carried forward) on which no deferred tax assets have been capitalized amount to EUR 328,259 thousand (previous year: EUR 96,708 thousand).
In addition, no deferred tax assets were recognized on loss carryforwards of subsidiaries in the amount of EUR 86,155 thousand (previous year: 2,829). Of this amount, losses of EUR 85,606 thousand (previous year: EUR 2,200 thousand) can be carried forward for an indefinite period of time and losses of EUR 549 thousand (previous year: EUR 629 thousand) can be carried forward for up to 5 years.
As of December 31, 2024 (and in the previous year), it was assumed that, due to the tax provisions currently in force, the differences between the tax participation approach and the proportionate equity of the subsidiaries included in the IFRS consolidated financial statements (outside-basis differences), in particular resulting from retained earnings or uncovered losses, could remain tax-free in the foreseeable future or that the reversal of the differences could be controlled by the Group.
Furthermore, it can be assumed that the differences between the tax participation approach and the carrying amount of the companies accounted for using the equity method (outside-basis differences) will remain taxfree in the foreseeable future, as no sale of these investments is planned.
In connection with investments in subsidiaries and financial assets accounted for using the equity method, no deferred tax deferrals were recognised in accordance with IAS 12.39 for taxable temporary differences in the amount of EUR 2,681 thousand (previous year: EUR 5,068 thousand).

As part of the ABS program, monthly revolving insured trade receivables up to a maximum volume of EUR 350,000 thousand (previous year: EUR 350,000 thousand) are sold. In June 2024, the KTM Group set up a similar factoring programme with Landesbank Baden-Württemberg, but its expiry was decided in the course of the restructuring proceedings. Further information on the ABS and factoring programme can be found under point 41 "Classification and fair values".
Cash and cash equivalents include cash balances, bank deposits, cheques and fixed deposits with a maximum of three months (calculated from the date of purchase). For further details on the change in the cash position, please refer to the disclosures on the cash flow statement in Chapter VI of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, the disposal group also includes cash and cash equivalents, as described in item 32 "Non-current assets held for sale and disposal groups".
At the end of the 2024 financial year, the Management Board made a number of decisions on the sale of various non-current assets and associated liabilities, the impact of which on the net assets, financial position and results of operations of the Group (relates to the Motorcycle segment) is presented below in tabular form and then explanatory.

Not least due to the complete withdrawal of PIERER Mobility AG from the business of PIERER New Mobility GmbH, the Executive Board of KTM AG made the decision to sell the constructed building, the land and the associated assets of PIERER & MAXCOM MOBILITY OOD, Plovdiv, Bulgaria. As of the balance sheet date of December 31, 2024, negotiations with a potential buyer were already well advanced, so that it can be assumed that the sale will be sufficiently secure in the course of the 2025 financial year. Based on the negotiated purchase price, a fair value of EUR 35,000 thousand was determined for the building with associated equipment and the property as of December 31, 2024 (previous book value: EUR 30,467 thousand). Due to the fact that fair value exceeded the carrying amount, no measurement difference had to be recognised under IFRS 5. The related assets were classified as held for sale.
In addition, the 49.0% stake in PIERER IMMOREAL GmbH, Wels, Austria, acquired on October 4, 2024, was recognized as a non-current asset held for sale as of the balance sheet date. The shares were sold back to the original seller, Pierer Konzerngesellschaft mbH, on 3 January 2025. The purchase price corresponded to the original purchase price by KTM AG (EUR 10,879 thousand). There was no need for a write-down in accordance with IFRS 5, as the carrying amount of the financial asset (EUR 10,704 thousand) is below the fair value (EUR 10,879 thousand) due to the losses of PIERER IMMOREAL GmbH assumed proportionately using the at-equity method. At the same time, financial receivables against PIERER IMMOREAL GmbH in the amount of EUR 24,689 thousand were classified as held for sale, as they were acquired together with the shares in October 2024 and finally sold again together with the shares in January 2025.
The shares in MV Agusta Motor S.p.A., Varese, Italy, as well as the shares in the other MV Agusta companies of the KTM Group, were also the subject of ongoing negotiations on their sale as of the balance sheet date of December 31, 2024. The sale was considered highly likely as of the balance sheet date, PIERER Mobility AG finally announced on January 31, 2025, that a corresponding agreement had been reached with the previous minority shareholder of MV Agusta Motor S.p.A., Art of Mobility S.A. The sale is expected to be completed in the first half of 2025. The sale agreement covers the following companies and their assets and liabilities, which are grouped together in a disposal group:
In this disposal group, impairment losses were incurred on capitalized goodwill (EUR 76,283 thousand, see also Note 9 "Changes in the scope of consolidation") and on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets to the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell (EUR 71,028 thousand), which were recognized under impairment losses in accordance with IFRS 5. As a result, the depreciable fixed assets of the abovementioned companies were devalued to zero. No cumulative income or expenses related to the disposal group are included in other comprehensive income.
The assets and related liabilities of the "MV Agusta" disposal group as of December 31, 2024 can be found in the introductory table above. The cash and cash equivalents included in the disposal group represent a reconciliation item to the cash ending balance determined in the cash flow statement.
The development of consolidated equity in the 2024 financial year and in the 2023 financial year is presented in Appendix I/7.
The Company's share capital amounts to EUR 33,796,535 and is divided into 33,796,535 no-par value bearer shares, each of which represents an equal shareholding in the share capital. The shares grant the ordinary rights to which shareholders are entitled under the Austrian Stock Corporation Act. These include the right to payout the dividends resolved at the Annual General Meeting and the right to exercise voting rights at the Annual General Meeting. All shares were paid up in full. The share capital reported in the consolidated financial statements corresponds to the share capital reported in the individual financial statements of PIERER Mobility AG.
The IFRS 9 reserve includes the cash flow hedge reserve. The cash flow hedge reserve comprises the effective portion of the cumulative net changes in the fair value of hedging instruments used to hedge cash
flows until they are subsequently recognised in profit or loss or recognised directly in the cost or carrying amount of a non-financial asset or liability.
The reserve for hedging costs shows the profits and losses of the portion excluded from the designated hedging transaction that relates to the forward element of the foreign exchange forward transaction. These are initially recognised as other comprehensive income and, like the gains and losses, are recognised in the reserve from hedging transactions.
The development of the cash flow hedge reserve and the reserve for hedging costs is explained under item 43 "Hedges".
Non-controlling interests comprise third-party interests in the equity of the consolidated subsidiaries:

Dividends to non-controlling interests 500 0 500
In addition, the non-controlling interests were increased by EUR 50,711 thousand as a result of the first-time consolidation of MV Agusta Motor S.p.A. and its subsidiaries in the course of the first-time consolidation. Equity and non-controlling interests were also changed due to existing NCI put options. In this regard, the Group has changed its accounting methodology, as explained in detail in point 4 "Changes to accounting policies". Accordingly, the affected NCI is completely derecognized when the option liability is booked at the same time as the equity as the clearing item.
For the levels of participation, please refer to the list of participations in Chapter XII.

Due to the opening of KTM AG's restructuring proceedings under insolvency law on November 29, 2024, there have been no further interest or principal payments since then, as they are serviced via the offered restructuring quota, specifically as a spot quota. The restructuring proceedings also had the consequence that deferred transaction costs had to be reversed.
Regarding companies undergoing restructuring proceedings, the maturities of financial liabilities, with the exception of lease liabilities, were reclassified to short-term items in the course of the opening of insolvency proceedings. An analogous reclassification was not carried out in the case of lease liabilities, as these were essentially registered by the creditors on a conditional basis. If the group continues the leases, the lease liabilities are not part of the restructuring quota and the original payment terms are retained. Since the leased assets in question are essentially assets necessary for operations, the Group assumes that the leases will be continued accordingly.
Only with the successful completion of the restructuring proceedings does the debt-discharging effect of the financial liabilities become legally binding.
In April 2024, the Group took out an investment loan in the amount of EUR 35,000 thousand to finance the acquisition of shares in MV Agusta Motor S.p.A. from Raiffeisen Bank International AG.In June 2024, a loan of EUR 3,500 thousand was taken out from Oberbank AG, which replaced the loan of the same amount received via the acquisition of PIERER Green Energy GmbH. In addition, EUR 17,059 thousand in research loans were repaid in the 2024 financial year.
In the 2024 financial year, the Group raised numerous short-term funds to cover liquidity requirements. Particularly noteworthy are the raising of funds via export bill credits (EUR 88,737 thousand) as well as working capital lines (EUR 553,839 thousand).
In addition, debt capital was raised through the supplier financing program by using it to call up intra-group invoices between subsidiaries of the Group on an advance basis. The supplier financing program was discontinued in the course of the opening of the restructuring proceedings. Since the advance trade payables at maturity to the Group's suppliers by the credit institutions with which the programme was concluded could not be settled by the Group, these trade payables became the Group's financial liabilities. In the 2024 financial year, the amount amounted to EUR 54,721 thousand, of which EUR 15,391 thousand came from regular relationships between Group companies and EUR 39,330 thousand from relationships between Group companies that are in the restructuring process – specifically KTM AG, KTM Components GmbH and KTM Forschungs & Entwicklungs GmbH (previous year: EUR 0 thousand). For further explanations, please refer to item 37 "Other current and non-current liabilities and trade payables".
The liabilities for employee benefits are made up of obligations for severance pay and anniversary bonuses:
| 27,967 | 26,907 | |
|---|---|---|
| Anniversary bonuses | 7,419 | 7,289 |
| Severance | 20,548 | 19,618 |
| THOUS | 12/31/2023 | 12/31/2024 |
The opening of the restructuring proceedings on November 29, 2024 of KTM AG, KTM Components GmbH and KTM Forschungs & Entwicklungs GmbH resulted in some special features in the accounting of obligations for employee benefits, which are due in particular to national legal regulations, as explained below. The salaries for November and the pro rata outstanding special payments were taken over by the Insolvency Remuneration Fund (IEF) and recognized in full, i.e. at their settlement amount, as liabilities.
In accordance with Section 25 (1c) IO, redundancies to the extent of 200 employees of KTM AG and 50 employees of KTM Components GmbH were planned on the basis of the restructuring plans within one month of the public announcement of the opening decision (29.11.2024) with the consent of the restructuring administrator. Further redundancies within one month pursuant to Section 25 (1b) sentence 2 IO after the reporting date (20.12.2024) were planned: 200 employees of KTM AG, 250 employees of KTM Forschungs & Entwicklungs GmbH and 50 employees of KTM Components GmbH.
The resulting claims of the terminated employees, including salaries and severance pay, were treated differently in the balance sheet depending on the date of termination: Claims from terminations until 31.12.2024 were recognized as a liability due to their fixed nature, while claims from terminations between 01.01.2025 and 19.01.2025 were recognized as provisions in the consolidated financial statements as of 31.12.2024 due to uncertainties regarding the amount and due date.
In addition, the provisions for claims of the dismissed employees existing at the time of the opening of insolvency proceedings were reclassified into liabilities. The background is the assumption of the obligation by the IEF. Provisions for claims whose basis for claims have ceased to exist as a result of the termination, e.g. in the case of anniversary bonuses, were recognised in other operating income through profit or loss.
Due to legal regulations, the PIERER Mobility Group is also obliged to make a severance payment to all employees in Austria whose employment relationship began before January 1, 2003, upon termination by the employer or at the time of retirement. The amount of this performance-based obligation depends on the number of years of service and on the relevant salary at the time of severance pay. For all employment relationships established in Austria after December 31, 2002, the company pays 1.53% of the gross monthly salary monthly into a company employee provision fund, in which the contributions are invested in an employee's account and paid out to the employee upon termination of the employment relationship or passed on as an entitlement. The company is only obliged to pay the contributions that are recognised in the expense for which they were paid in the financial year for which they were paid (defined contribution obligation). For employees of Austrian group companies who entered employment on or after 1 January 2003, contributions for severance payments to a statutory employee provision fund amounting to 1.53% of wages or salaries were paid. In the past financial year, premiums totalling EUR 4,688 thousand (previous year: EUR 3,595 thousand) were paid.
Net debt from defined benefit severance plans developed as follows in the fiscal year:
| THOUS | 12/31/2023 | 12/31/2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Conditional benefit: | ||
| Balance as of 01/01 | 19,548 | 20,548 |

| Reclassification held for sale | 0 | -847 |
| Other | 74 | -896 |
| Balance as of 12/31 | 20,548 | 19,618 |
The weighted remaining terms (duration) of the severance pay obligations as of December 31, 2024, are 9 years (previous year: 10 years).
Actuarial profit/loss is made up of the following factors:
| THOUS | 12/31/2023 | 12/31/2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Change in expected values | 174 | 234 |
| Change in demographic assumptions | 2 | 38 |
| Change in financial assumptions | 309 | 398 |
| Actuarial gain / loss | 485 | 670 |
The valuation of the obligation is based on the following assumptions:
| 12/31/2023 | 12/31/2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Discount rate | 3.51% | 3.41% |
| Wage / salary trend | 3.50% | 2.75% |
| Retirement age (years) Women / men with transitional arrangements | 65 years | 65 years |
The actuarial interest rate was set taking into account the average terms and average remaining life expectancy. The discount rate is the yield earned on the market for senior fixed income industrial bonds on the balance sheet date. Employee turnover is determined on a company-specific basis and taken into account depending on age / length of service. The actuarial assessments are based on country-specific mortality tables. The statutory retirement age for each country was chosen as the retirement age.
A change (+/- 0.5 percentage points) in the parameters "actuarial interest rate" and "wage/salary trend" would have had the following impact on the present value of future payments as of December 31, 2024:
| Parameter | Change-0.50% | Alteration +0,50% |
|---|---|---|
| Discount rate | 4.6% | -4.3% |
| Wage / salary trend | -4.3% | 4.6% |
A change (+/- 0.5 percentage points) in the parameters "actuarial interest rate" and "wage/salary trend" would have had the following effects on the present value of future payments as of December 31, 2023:
| Parameter | Change-0.50% | Alteration +0,50% |
|---|---|---|
| Discount rate | 4.9% | -4.5% |
| Wage / salary trend | -4.6% | 4.9% |
On the basis of collective agreements, the companies of the PIERER Mobility Group are obliged to pay anniversary bonuses to employees in Austria in accordance with the achievement of certain years of service (from 25 years of service) (performance-based obligation). Interest is recognised in other financial income. The obligations for claims from anniversary bonuses developed as follows:
| THOUS | 12/31/2023 | 12/31/2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Balance as of 01/01 | 6,606 | 7,419 |
| Length of service | 601 | 587 |
| Interest expense | 288 | 371 |
| Payments made | -160 | -111 |
| Actuarial gain/loss (through profit or loss) | 84 | -245 |
| Reclassification held for sale | 0 | 12 |
| Other | 0 | -744 |
| Balance as of 12/31 | 7,419 | 7,289 |
The disposals in the 2024 financial year include EUR 86 thousand from the consequences of the departures in the course of the insolvency proceedings described above.
The other long-term liabilities are essentially made up as follows:
| THOUS | 12/31/2023 | 12/31/2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Deposits | 10,881 | 7,338 |
| Options on non-controlling interests | 5,816 | 61,445 |

| Other long-term non-financial liabilities | 1,817 | 1,408 |
| Other long-term liabilities | 18,517 | 74,925 |
The options on non-controlling interests relate to MV Agusta Motor S.p.A., Varese, Italy, on the one hand, and PIERER & MAXCOM MOBILITY OOD, Plovdiv, Bulgaria, on the other. They are based on the contracts concluded. As part of this, a reclassification between equity, non-controlling interests and financial liabilities is carried out without affecting profit or loss, as explained in more detail under item 4 "Changes in accounting policies".
The other short-term liabilities are essentially as follows:
| THOUS | 12/31/2023 | 12/31/2024 |

Until the opening of the insolvency restructuring proceedings, companies within the PIERER Mobility Group, including KTM AG, had established revolving programs for financing supplier liabilities (Supplier Finance Programs) with two credit institutions. This gave suppliers the opportunity to sell their receivables from the PIERER Mobility Group to the bank before maturity. In this agreement, the credit institution agreed to pay invoice amounts owed by the PIERER Mobility Group to participating suppliers and to receive compensation for this from the PIERER Mobility Group later. PIERER Mobility Group has not been released from the original legal obligation. In both quantitative and qualitative terms, there was no material change in the terms of the contract and no significant extension of the payment terms. The PIERER Mobility Group did not incur any additional interest on the payment of supplier liabilities to the respective bank. Since the nature and function of the financial liability corresponded to the other trade payables, the original liabilities were not derecognised but continued to be shown under trade payables. All liabilities subject to the supplier financing agreements were and will be reported as current as of December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
The supplier financing programs were discontinued with the opening of the insolvency restructuring proceedings in mid-November. As of the balance sheet date of December 31, 2024, only those amounts are still part of the PIERER Mobility Group's supplier financing program for which suppliers have already taken advantage of the option of early settlement of their receivables by the credit institutions.
Against this background, the PIERER Mobility Group has also incurred financial liabilities from the supplier financing programs, which, however, do not influence the above assessment and description of the programs. This applies to the following facts, which have specific reasons:
All liabilities subject to the Supplier Finance programs are reported as current as of December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, these supplier finance programs affect trade payables of EUR 59,204 thousand (previous year: EUR 349.065 thousand). This corresponds to 15.5% (previous year: 51.6%) of total trade payables as of the reporting date.
This decline is due on the one hand to the fact that the purchasing volumes of the bicycle segment were significantly reduced in the 2024 financial year (as of the balance sheet date in the supplier financing program: EUR 26,705 thousand; previous year: EUR 119,140 thousand). On the other hand, the supplier financing programs were discontinued with the opening of the insolvency restructuring proceedings in the motorcycle segment in mid-November, as explained above.

The payments made by a credit institution to a supplier that is part of a supplier financing agreement are irrelevant to the PIERER Mobility Group's balance sheet and are not cash effective.
The payments to the respective credit institution are included in the cash flow from operating activities because they continue to be part of the normal operating cycle of the PIERER Mobility Group and their essential character remains operational, i.e. they represent payments for the purchase of goods and services.
The Group sets aside provisions for guarantees and warranties for known, expected individual cases. Expected expenses are primarily based on past experience and are recognized at the time the products are sold.
The estimation of future expenses is associated with uncertainties, which may lead to an adjustment of the provisions recognized in the future. It cannot be ruled out that the actual expenditure for these measures will exceed or fall short of the provisions created for them in an unforeseeable manner.

The development of provisions in the financial year was as follows:
The new provisions for restructuring created in the 2024 financial year mainly relate to expected expenses for external consulting services particularly during the restructuring proceedings, for the remuneration of the restructuring administrators and for conditionally registered claims for damages. In calculating the amount of the provision for damages, a realisation rate of 50% of the total amount was assumed, as it is not possible to make a more precise estimate at the balance sheet date as to which of these claims will be accepted by the Group and by the restructuring administrators.
Changes in the balance sheet items presented in the statement of cash flows cannot be derived directly from the balance sheet, as non-cash effects are neutralized. Other non-cash expenses (income) mainly include valuations of foreign currency receivables and liabilities, impairments on receivables and inventories, and noncash income from subsidies. The effects of changes in the scope of consolidation have been eliminated and are reported in the cash flow from investing activities. Significant non-recurring effects in the 2024 financial year under other non-cash expenses largely relate to write-downs on inventories and the restructuring provision recognized as a result of the reorganization process; for further information, see Note 7 "Estimates and measurement decisions." The effects of changes in the scope of consolidation were eliminated and are reported under cash flow from investing activities.

The PIERER Mobility Group is subject to credit, market, currency and liquidity risks with regard to its assets, liabilities and planned transactions. The aim of financial risk management is to manage and limit these risks. The Management Board and the Supervisory Board are regularly informed about risks that could have a significant impact on business development.
The principles of financial risk management are defined and monitored by the Supervisory Board and the Executive Board.
In the 2024 financial year, liquidity risks and ultimately the lack of liquidity of KTM AG led to the opening of restructuring proceedings under insolvency law. As a result, the PIERER Mobility Group's financial risk management goals of ensuring solvency and financial flexibility at all times were missed. The restructuring plans
of the companies KTM AG, KTM Forschungs- und Entwicklungs GmbH and KTM Components GmbH were finally approved by the creditors in court on February 25, 2025. The resulting restructuring profit of 70% of the registered creditors' claims can only be realised by the PIERER Mobility Group with the legally binding confirmation of the restructuring plan by the insolvency court and its prerequisites. Only this court order constitutes the legal act giving rise to value based on national insolvency law provisions. As of the balance sheet date of December 31, 2024, the Group presents the formerly non-current financial liabilities subject to the restructuring procedure as current due to their associated legal classification. However, the debt-discharging effect of the restructuring plan is not to be recognised in the balance sheet until the 2025 financial year. However, the successful implementation of the going concern forecast in line with planning is subject to uncertainties and is subject to exogenous and endogenous factors.
These consolidated financial statements continue to be prepared on a going concern basis, as does the Group management report. This assessment is based on various reasons, but in particular the timely filing of the restructuring quota, as explained in more detail in section 2 "Ongoing restructuring proceedings, information in connection with insolvency proceedings". Further background information can also be found in these explanations.
The opening of the restructuring proceedings under insolvency law, in particular of KTM AG, resulted in the derivatives used in hedging relationships being terminated by the offering banks. This terminated all cash flow hedge relationships of the PIERER Mobility Group that were based on interest rate derivatives. The PIERER Mobility Group recycled the reserves in equity through profit or loss, as the hedging relationship hedged fluctuations in variable interest rates on loans and loans taken out and the resulting future cash flows will no longer occur due to the restructuring proceedings. Cash flow hedge hedges on foreign currencies, which were primarily used in the sales subsidiaries KTM Sportmotorcycle GmbH and Husqvarna Mobility GmbH as well as their subsidiaries, remained unaffected by the termination by the banks.
In addition, the PIERER Mobility Group had a cash flow hedge on the interest rate risk on the foreign currency USD from future sales volume in the USA. The underlying hedging transaction was already terminated by the PIERER Mobility Group in October 2024, before the restructuring proceedings were opened. Since the PIERER Mobility Group continues to anticipate the occurrence of the underlying cash flows, i.e. revenue in the USA, the associated reserve in equity could not be recognised in profit or loss when the hedging transaction was terminated. The PIERER Mobility Group recognises this reclassification on a P&L basis on a pro rata basis over the actual remaining term of the hedging transaction until April 2025.
As a globally active company, the PIERER Mobility Group is influenced by global economic parameters such as changes in currency parities or developments on the financial markets. In particular, the exchange rate development of the US dollar, which represents the highest individual risk in foreign currency risk, is important for the development of sales and earnings. Due to the increasing importance of the USD in purchasing, the foreign currency risk for the USD is significantly reduced ("natural hedge"). In the 2024 financial year, around 25% of sales (previous year: 26%) were generated in US dollars. Currency hedging measures, especially hedging strategies, can largely offset these currency shifts over at least one model year.
The Group also faces currency risks if financial assets and liabilities are settled in a currency other than the local currency of the respective company. The majority of the Group's companies' invoice in local currency and are largely financed in local currency. Investments are mainly made in the local currency of the investing Group company. For these reasons, of course, currency positions usually result in closed.
The main causes of ineffectiveness in currency hedging transactions are:
A sensitivity analysis is carried out for currency risk. The effects of the change in the exchange rate of +/- 10% on profit and loss, other comprehensive income and equity are shown. The affected bank balances, receivables and liabilities of the Group as well as future receipts and payments in foreign currency as at the balance sheet date and the planned purchases and sales in foreign currency for the 2024 financial year were used as a basis. It was assumed that the risk on the balance sheet date essentially represents the risk during the financial year. The Group tax rate of 23% was used as the tax rate. It was also assumed in the analysis that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant. The analysis included those currency risks of financial instruments that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency and are of a monetary nature.
Currency risks from euro positions in subsidiaries whose functional currency differs from the euro were allocated to the currency risk of the functional currency of the respective subsidiary. Risks from foreign currency positions other than the euro were aggregated at Group level. Exchange rate-related differences from the translation of financial statements into the Group currency were not taken into account.
The PIERER Mobility Group bases its analysis on the following assumptions:

| THOUS | 31.12.2024 | 31.12.2023 | 31.12.2024 | 31.12.2023 | |

| Change in equity | -20.905 | -26.436 | 25.550 | 32.310 |
Some of the financial instruments have variable interest rates on both the assets and liabilities. The risk therefore consists of rising interest expenses or decreasing interest income, which result from an adverse change in market interest rates. The information below relates to the characteristics of financial instruments as of the balance sheet date and does not take into account the outcome of the restructuring proceedings of the companies concerned as a value-giving event in the 2025 financial year.
As explained in the introduction, the opening of insolvency restructuring proceedings resulted in the termination of derivatives used in hedging relationships by the banks offering them. Cash flow hedges on foreign currencies, which were primarily used in the sales subsidiaries KTM Sportmotorcycle GmbH and Husqvarna Mobility GmbH and their subsidiaries, remained unaffected by the termination by the banks. The interest rate swaps previously used to hedge interest rate risks were no longer in place as at the reporting date of December 31, 2024.
Interest rate risks thus result mainly from original floating rate financial instruments (cash flow risk). Sensitivity analyses were carried out for the interest rate risks of these financial instruments, which show the effects of hypothetical changes in the market interest rate level on earnings (after tax) and equity. The affected portfolios as of the balance sheet date were used as a basis. It was assumed that the risk at the balance sheet date essentially represents the risk during the financial year. The group tax rate of 23% was used as the tax rate. In addition, the analysis assumed that all other variables, especially exchange rates, remain constant.
The main causes of ineffectiveness in the context of interest rate hedging are:
A sensitivity analysis was carried out for interest rate risk. This shows the changes in the interest rate of +/- 50 basis points on profit and loss, other comprehensive income and equity.

The risk of default is the risk of financial loss if a client or the contracting party to a financial instrument fails to meet his or her contractual obligations. The risk of default generally arises from trade receivables. The maximum payment terms granted in the financial year and in the previous year ranged from 270 to 360 days, and even 360 days towards the end of the 2024 financial year.
On the assets side, the reported book values also represent the maximum default risk. With the exception of the set-off agreement described in item 42 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements, there are no general set-off agreements.
The default risk for receivables from customers can still be considered low overall, as the creditworthiness of new and existing customers is constantly checked and collateral is requested.
Risk management carries out an analysis and assessment of new customers. First, these are analysed individually with regard to their creditworthiness and standardised contracts are concluded with customers throughout the Group. The analysis includes external ratings, where available, as well as annual financial statements, credit agency information and bank information. Sales limits are set for each customer and continuously reviewed. All transactions that exceed these limits require the approval of the risk management department.
Default risks of receivables from customers are hedged in the Group by bank collateral (guarantees, letters of credit). The default risks are defined in internal guidelines and continuously monitored based on this.
There are largely long-standing business relationships with dealers and importers. By continuously monitoring the risk of default or the creditworthiness of the customers, each receivable is individually checked for the need for a value adjustment.
A summary of the risk of default for trade receivables as of December 31, 2024, is presented in the table below.

To determine the impairment requirements for trade receivables that have not been individually value-adjusted, the defaults of recent years were evaluated in the PIERER Mobility Group. The analysis has shown that there is only a negligible risk for receivables with a certain overdue date. The assessment of loss ratios is based on historical default rates related to overdue dates and taking into account forward-looking information.
With regard to the balance of financial delivery and other receivables that are neither impaired nor in arrears, there are no indications at the balance sheet date that the debtors will not meet their payment obligations. There are no concentration risks.
On the basis of the defaults actually observed in the past, an average default rate of 0.2% (previous year: 0.07%) of trade receivables was determined. The increase is mainly due to the fact that macroeconomic uncertainties and persistently high interest rates have led to a difficult market environment. An additional risk is posed by the insolvency reorganization proceedings of KTM AG in particular, which not only entails payment difficulties for the KTM Group vis-à-vis dealers, but also uncertainties for end customers with regard to the warranty services offered, product reliability, supply of spare parts, reputational damage and the like. Against this backdrop, the risk premium for future-related developments was adjusted for the 2024 financial year. An addition of EUR 493 thousand (previous year: EUR 111 thousand) was recognized as an allowance for expected losses on trade receivables.
The impairment charge for expected losses as of December 31, 2024 in the PIERER Mobility Group amounts to EUR 794 thousand (previous year: EUR 301 thousand).
The development of value adjustments in respect of trade receivables and receivables is described in the notes under item 30 "Trade receivables".
Credit losses on cash and cash equivalents and other financial assets are calculated based on average default rates and the rating of the instrument. A significant change in credit risk is determined based on rating and late payment. Taking into account the short-term nature of these positions and in view of the good rating of the banks, the Group expects that these holdings are financial instruments with a low risk of default and that the expected losses are not material.
In the case of derivative financial instruments with a positive market value, the default risk is limited to their replacement costs, whereby the default risk can be classified as low, as the counterparties are exclusively banks with a high credit rating. There is no evidence of additional impairment requirements for financial assets.
As already described in the introduction to this capital, the liquidity risks and ultimately the lack of liquidity of KTM AG in particular led to the opening of restructuring proceedings under insolvency law in the 2024 financial year.
The liquidity risks of the PIERER Mobility Group are primarily since the payments from sales revenues are below the planned assumptions due to a weakening of demand. The PIERER Mobility Group countered this risk by maintaining a liquidity reserve in the form of unused credit lines and, if necessary, in the form of cash holdings at banks with a high credit rating. Due to the prolonged phase of sales revenues below expected levels, KTM AG was no longer able to maintain and guarantee the necessary liquidity through further borrowed funds.
As described in Note 41, the Group participates in a factoring program whose purpose is to enable efficient payment processing and interim financing. This enables the Group to centralize payments from trade receivables while maintaining flexibility in liquidity management. The restructuring process has not increased the liquidity risk associated with the factoring program in relation to the receivables already purchased, as receivables purchased have not been called in due to the termination of certain programs by the financial services provider in the meantime, but incoming payments from the properly purchased receivables must be forwarded to the financial services provider, meaning that this process is generally liquidity-neutral. The factoring agreements that continue to exist contain, among other things, extraordinary termination clauses that take effect in certain cases (e.g. in the event of insolvency proceedings or a change of control). In the event of extraordinary termination, liquidity risks may arise for the Group, as new receivables can no longer be sold via this program and alternative measures may have to be taken to regain the existing flexibility in liquidity management.
With the opening of insolvency restructuring proceedings, in particular for KTM AG, covenants contained in loan agreements also became obsolete. The loan agreements of Pierer Mobility AG contain covenants that allow for early repayment. The company concluded standstill agreements with the lenders prior to the reporting date, thus suspending the maturity date until May 31, 2025. The liabilities are classified as current in the consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2024. Repayment will be made from existing cash and cash equivalents by May 31, 2025.
The future safeguarding of the KTM Group's liquidity after the successful completion of the restructuring proceedings is to be ensured primarily by an equity grant and the necessary follow-up financing in the form of a restructuring loan. In addition, the management initiated and implemented various measures, not least in the course of the restructuring process, to minimise future liquidity risks. In particular, adjustments to production capacities, cost-cutting and sales measures should be mentioned. In addition, the management has initiated and implemented various measures to minimize future liquidity risks, not least as part of the restructuring process. These include, in particular, adjustments to production capacities and management, cost-cutting and sales measures. In addition, direct cash flow planning is carried out on a weekly basis and expenditure is strictly controlled via internal approval processes against the background of the analysis of transactions necessary for operations.
Free cash flow is a key performance indicator of the PIERER Mobility Group. The contractually agreed (undiscounted) cash flows (interest and principal payments) and the remaining maturities of the financial debt are made up as shown below. The information on payment terms refers to the status of contractual obligations as of December 31, 2024; due to the insolvency proceedings, the debts subject to the proceedings were made due immediately in accordance with legal requirements, but their execution and interest were suspended.

The PIERER Mobility Group holds original and derivative financial instruments. Primary financial instruments mainly include trade receivables, credit balances with credit institutions, liabilities to credit institutions, trade payables and financial liabilities. The holdings of the original financial instruments are shown in the consolidated balance sheet or in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. Derivative financial instruments are generally used to hedge existing interest rate and foreign currency risks. The use of derivative financial instruments is subject to appropriate authorisation and control procedures within the Group. The commitment to a hedged transaction is mandatory, trading transactions are not permitted. The purchases and sales of all Financial Instruments are recorded on the Settlement Date.
With the opening of the restructuring proceedings under insolvency law, in particular of KTM AG, the majority of the derivatives held were terminated by the financial service providers, as explained in the introduction to Chapter VII "Risk Report". This essentially explains the significant changes in the representations in this subsequent chapter.
The categorization is carried out depending on the contractual cash flows and the underlying business model. The following measurement categories are represented by IFRS 9:
For equity instruments (such as shares in unlisted companies), the FVOCI option can be exercised. As a result, changes in fair value are recognised in other comprehensive income and the changes in fair value accumulated in other comprehensive income can no longer be subsequently reclassified to the income statement. If this option is not exercised, it is allocated to the FVPL category, with all changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss in profit or loss.
Receivables and other assets are measured at fair value at the time of acquisition and at amortised cost in subsequent periods. Foreign currency receivables are converted at the exchange rate on the cut-off date. Financial receivables are assigned to the category "at amortized cost" and are measured at amortized cost.
The part of trade receivables that is part of the ABS or factoring program is assigned to the Fair Value through Profit and Loss (FVPL) category.
Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost. Financial debt is assigned to the category "at amortized cost". A difference between the amount received and the repayment amount is distributed over the term according to the effective interest method and recognized in the financial result. The cash procurement costs incurred in connection with financing taken out are amortized through profit or loss using the effective interest method. Liabilities are measured at amortized cost. Foreign currency liabilities are converted at the exchange rate on the reporting date.
All financial instruments in the FVPL category are measured at fair value through profit or loss on the basis of the criteria of IFRS 9 (business model or SPPI test). The fair value option was not exercised.
Trade receivables do not have a significant financing component. Therefore, the simplified procedure for determining the expected credit loss is applied, according to which allowance for credit losses in the amount of the expected losses over the remaining term must be recognised for all instruments, regardless of their credit quality. In the case of trade receivables, this is less than twelve months and therefore corresponds to the 12 month loss. Explanations of the amount can be found under point 39 "Financial risks".
To determine the expected credit loss, historical default data on receivables from the last eight to ten years was collected and segmented by geographical region. Current economic factors and forecasts are also taken into account.
Individual value adjustments of financial assets are made when they are considered irrecoverable or partially irrecoverable. Indicators of individual value adjustments include financial difficulties, insolvency, breach of contract or significant late payment by customers. The individual value adjustments are made up of numerous individual items, none of which is material when viewed alone. A direct derecognition of the financial assets only takes place if the contractual rights to payments from the financial assets no longer exist (especially in the event of insolvency). If the amount of the impairment decreases in one of the following periods and this reduction can be objectively attributed to a situation that occurred after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment allowance is reversed by adjusting the impairment account.
The hedge accounting requirements are applied in accordance with IFRS 9. Under IFRS 9, the fair value of an option, the forward component of a futures contract, and any foreign currency basis spreads may be excluded from the designation of a financial instrument as a hedging instrument and may be accounted for as the cost of hedging. Fluctuations in the value of these optionally non-designated components are recognised as hedging costs in other comprehensive income and reclassified to the income statement if the hedged item has an impact on earnings.
The time value of a financial instrument is determined by quoted market prices for the identical instrument on active markets (level 1). If no quoted market prices are available on active markets for the instrument, the fair value is determined using valuation methods whose essential parameters are based exclusively on observable market data (level 2). Otherwise, the fair value is determined on the basis of valuation methods for which at least one essential parameter is not based on observable market data (level 3).
Reclassifications between the levels are taken into account at the end of the reporting period. There were no shifts between the levels in the fiscal year.
The following table shows the measurement technique used to determine fair value and the material; unobservable inputs used.

The receivables sold in connection with the existing ABS and factoring programme will be fully derecognised in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 9. As part of the ABS program, monthly revolving insured trade receivables up to a maximum volume of EUR 350,000 thousand (previous year: EUR 350,000 thousand) are sold. In the 2024 financial year, the Group also launched a new factoring programme, which, however, was terminated by the financial service provider in the course of the restructuring proceedings under insolvency law, which means that no new receivables will be purchased via this, and its remaining holdings will be dissolved upon receipt of payment of the receivables by the financial service provider. As of December 31, 2024, EUR 27,406 thousand in receivables were written off via this program.
As of the balance sheet date, trade receivables totalling EUR 251,339 thousand (previous year: EUR 432,867 thousand) were sold to third parties. Up to a contractually defined amount, the Group continues to bear a risk from credit risk-related defaults. As of December 31, 2024, the resulting maximum risk of loss amounted to EUR 2,648 thousand (previous year: EUR 8,459 thousand). At the time of sale, the expected loss is generally recognised as a liability. The carrying amount of the ongoing exposure amounted to EUR 2,648 thousand as of December 31, 2024 (previous year: EUR 8,459 thousand) and is reported under other current liabilities. The carrying amount is the fair value of the ongoing exposure. In the period under review, EUR -842 thousand (previous year: EUR 197 thousand) and EUR 2,648 thousand (previous year: EUR 8,459 thousand) cumulative since the start of the transaction were recognised in profit or loss.
The decline in receivables sold is primarily due to the reduction in the volume of receivables sold during the 2024 financial year, which resulted from lower sales revenues and increased interest charges.
The Group does not exercise control over the ABS or factoring investee companies, as it lacks the rights to influence the relevant activities of these companies. This specifically includes the selection and financing of receivables to be purchased, as well as the collection of non-performing receivables.
The table below shows the carrying amounts and fair values of financial liabilities (liabilities-side financial instruments), separated by class or measurement category in accordance with IFRS 9. The fair value of those liabilities subject to insolvency proceedings was approximated by assuming 30% of the carrying amount. The reason for this convergence is the offer made by the company's management to the creditors to pay a 30% spot quota at the balance sheet date, which was accepted by the creditors on 25 February 2025. If the fair value or the level of financial liabilities that have not been measured at fair value is not disclosed below, in particular with regard to the previous year, the carrying amount represents a reasonable approximation of the fair value.

The Group concludes offsetting agreements with banks in connection with derivatives. In principle, the amounts owed under such agreements by each counterparty on a single day in respect of all outstanding transactions in the same currency shall be combined into a single net amount payable by one party to the other. In certain cases – for example, if a credit event such as a default occurs – all outstanding transactions under the agreement will be terminated, the value will be determined at the end and only a single net amount will be payable to offset all transactions. There is no offsetting in the balance sheet, as there is usually no net settlement of several transactions from such framework agreements.
The following tables show actual offset financial assets and liabilities as well as un-offset amounts that are subject to a set-off agreement but do not meet the set-off criteria under IFRS.

The derivative financial instruments entered into by the Group (forward currency transactions and interest rate swaps) are concluded to hedge foreign currency and interest rate risk. The aim of the use of derivative financial instruments is to compensate for the differentiation of cash flows from future transactions. The expected sales revenues and material purchases in foreign currency serve as the basis for planning future cash flows.
With the opening of the restructuring proceedings under insolvency law, in particular of KTM AG, the majority of the derivatives held were terminated by the financial service providers, as explained in the introduction to Chapter VII "Risk Report". At this point, reference should be made to the statements there, which also relate to the effects on the Group's cash flow-hedge relationships.
As a matter of principle, the Group only recognises changes in the spot component of forward currency transactions as a hedging instrument in the hedging of cash flows. The change in the forward component is accounted for separately as hedging costs and placed in equity in a reserve for hedging costs or reclassified to the income statement (as part of the financial result) if the hedged item has an effect on earnings.
In accordance with intra-group agreements (see Section 40 "Basics" for explanation), the Group applies the rules of cash flow hedge accounting in accordance with IFRS 9 to derivative financial instruments held. Due to the termination of all hedging transactions based on interest rate derivatives by the respective financial service providers in the course of the opening of the insolvency restructuring proceedings, in particular of KTM AG, the reserves formed in equity were recognised in profit or loss in the 2024 financial year. Excluded from this is a cash flow hedge on the interest rate risk on the foreign currency USD of future sales volume in the USA: In this case, the Group continues to assume the occurrence of the underlying cash flows, i.e. the sales revenues in the USA, so that the Group makes an instalment, profit or loss recognition over the actual remaining term of the hedging transaction until April 2025.
The essential contractual criteria of hedged items and the hedging instruments used are basically identical but designed in opposite directions ("critical terms match"), so that an economic connection of the hedging relationship is guaranteed. As of December 31, 2024 (as in the previous year), there are no derivative financial instruments for which a hedging relationship could not be established.
To measure the effectiveness of currency hedging, hedged and hedging transactions are combined into maturity bands for each hedged risk. The maturity bands should cover a maximum of one quarter. Prospective effectiveness is assessed at the beginning of the hedging relationship and reviewed at each valuation date and in the event of a significant change in the framework conditions that influence the criteria for assessing effectiveness. In the case of interest rate hedging, the prospective effectiveness is measured using a sensitivity analysis and the retrospective effectiveness test is carried out using the dollar offset method.
The basis for the valuation of the derivatives is the market data available at the balance sheet date (interest rate, exchange rates, etc.). The forward exchange rate on the balance sheet date is used to value forward currency transactions. In the case of positive market values, the creditworthiness of the contractual partner is included in the assessment by means of a credit value adjustment (CVA). In the case of negative market values, a Debit Value Adjustment (DVA) is discounted in order to take into account the company's own default risk. Own models are used to estimate the valuation. These are plausible by means of bank valuations.
The following derivative financial instruments used as hedging instruments were used as of 31 December 2024 and 31 December 2023 respectively:

As of December 31, 2024, ineffective components of derivative financial instruments classified as cash flow hedges resulted in a net result (after tax) of EUR 0 thousand (previous year: EUR 0 thousand).
The forward foreign exchange contracts concluded by the PIERER Mobility Group are concluded in foreign currencies to hedge future intended sales and material expenses against the risk of exchange rate fluctuations.
The opening of the restructuring proceedings under insolvency law, in particular of KTM AG, led to the termination of the hedging transactions by the respective financial service providers and thus to the termination of all cash flow hedge relationships of the group based on interest rate derivatives. As a result, the reserves formed were recognised in equity through profit or loss. The accounting exception to this has already been described above, in the context of which a reversal must be carried out in instalments. As of December 31, 2024, the remaining amount recognized from this title in the reserves of equity amounts to EUR 1,493 thousand.
The objective of capital management is to maintain an adequate capital base so that a return for the shareholders commensurate with the company's risk situation, the future development of the company can be promoted, and benefits can also be created for other interest groups. As already stated in Chapter VII "Risk Report", this fundamental objective was also missed in the course of the opening of the restructuring proceedings under insolvency law. With the restructuring proceedings opened on November 29, 2024, the focus is on satisfying the interests of creditors.
The management considers only the Group's book equity in accordance with IFRS to be capital. The aim is to ensure that all Group companies can operate under the going concern assumption. As at the balance sheet date, the Group equity ratio amounted to -8.1% (previous year: 30.8%). The change in equity is shown in the statement of changes in equity.
The resulting restructuring profit of 70% of the registered creditors' claims can only be realised by the Group with the legally binding confirmation of the restructuring plan by the insolvency court and its prerequisites. The fiduciary deposit of the cash quota of 30% was made on May 22, 2025. This still requires a corresponding positive court ruling, which is expected in mid-June 2025. Only this court ruling will constitute the legal act establishing the value on the basis of national insolvency law provisions.
The strategy of the PIERER Mobility Group aims to ensure that PIERER Mobility AG and the other Group companies have an equity base that meets local requirements. Capital management is mainly managed on the basis of the key figure's equity ratio, net debt, gearing and dynamic debt.

Net financial debt is defined as short- and long-term financial liabilities (bonds, loans, lease liabilities and other interest-bearing liabilities) less cash and cash equivalents. The objective is to secure long-term liquidity, efficiently draw on debt financing and limit financial risk while optimising returns.

The PIERER Mobility Group has concluded rental and leasing agreements for the use of land, operational and administrative buildings, offices and storage areas, machines (including CNC machines) and for the vehicle fleet.
The PIERER Mobility Group also rents IT equipment with contractual terms of between one year and five years. These rental and leasing agreements are either short-term or (or and) they are based on items of low value. The Group has exercised the option under IFRS 16.5-.8 and has not recognized any right-of-use or lease liabilities for these lease and lease agreements.
Furthermore, leasing contracts for tools (special leasing) and machines are concluded with a term of 3-10 years.
With the opening of the insolvency restructuring proceedings of KTM AG, KTM Components GmbH and KTM Forschungs und Entwicklungs GmbH, leasing liabilities of these three companies, analogous to the other financial debts, were due immediately in accordance with legal requirements, but their execution and interest were also suspended. Since the underlying leased assets are assets necessary for the group of operating assets, the Group intends to continue essentially all leasing contracts. Against this background, the associated claims of the creditors were only registered conditionally, i.e. the creditor's claim essentially expires if the group continues the leasing contracts. However, this has no influence on the presentation below of future minimum leases, interest rates and the present value of future minimum lease payments.

Net cash outflows for leases in the amount of EUR 57,562 thousand (previous year: EUR 51,676 thousand) were recognised in the cash flow statement. The cash flow from financing activities included repayments of lease liabilities in the amount of EUR 22,640 thousand (previous year: EUR 25,139 thousand). The remaining EUR 34,922 thousand (previous year: EUR 26,537 thousand) relates to short-term and lower-value leases as well as interest expense and income from subleases of right-of-use leases and is represented in the cash flow from operating activities.
Some rental and leasing agreements contain extension options that can be exercised by the Group up to one year before the end of the non-terminable contract term. Where possible, the Group aims to include extension options when concluding new leases and leases in order to ensure operational flexibility. On the date of provision, the Group assesses whether the exercise of extension options is sufficiently secure. The Group shall redetermine whether the exercise of an extension option is reasonably certain in the event of a material event or change in circumstances within its control.
From the lessor's point of view, all leases are classified as operating leases, as they are structured in such a way that the PIERER Mobility Group retains essentially all risks and opportunities associated with ownership.
This does not apply to a sublease, which the Group classifies as a finance lease. This concerns the subletting of a building that has been shown as a right of use in the property, plant and equipment. In the 2024 financial year, no new sublease was concluded and accounted for. In addition, the Group recognised interest income on lease receivables in the amount of EUR 10 thousand (previous year: EUR 10 thousand) in 2024. As of December 31, 2024, lease receivables from subleases amounted to EUR 767 thousand (previous year: EUR 767 thousand). Of this amount, EUR 253 thousand (previous year: EUR 253 thousand) is due in less than one year and EUR 514 thousand (previous year: EUR 514 thousand) in 1-5 years.

All related party transactions were carried out at arm's length. Key business relationships are explained below:
Since the 2024 assessment, PIERER Mobility AG has formed its own tax group in accordance with Section 9 of the Corporate Income Tax Act (KStG) and is no longer a member of the tax group of Pierer Konzerngesellschaft mbH within the meaning of the Austrian Corporate Income Tax Act. Since the 2024 financial year, the KTM Group has also been part of this steering group. Furthermore, in the 2024 financial year, the VAT group was terminated in the course of the restructuring proceedings under insolvency law for the KTM Group. Furthermore, as of the balance sheet date, receivables from tax apportionments against Pierer Konzerngesellschaft mbH in the amount of EUR 0 thousand (previous year: EUR 4,932 thousand) and claims from VAT credits against PIERER Industrie AG in the amount of EUR 0 thousand (previous year: EUR 8,583 thousand) are outstanding.

On the expense side, the transactions with companies close to the shareholders mainly affect the Pankl Racing Group and, to a lesser extent, the abatec Group, which acts as suppliers of purchased parts for the PIERER Mobility Group. The Pankl Racing Group and the abatec Group are part of the Pierer Industrie Group. In addition, in the 2024 financial year, expenses were incurred vis-à-vis Pierer Konzerngesellschaft mbH and Pierer Industrie AG from the on-billing of services. Most of these expenses relate to group levies vis-à-vis Pierer Industrie AG.

The shares in MV Agusta Motor S.p.A., Varese, Italy, previously held using the equity method, were increased in the 2024 financial year, making the company a fully consolidated subsidiary of KTM AG. This explains the significant decline in expenses vis-à-vis associates.
Other transactions with associates relate to the companies described below with the ongoing operating business relationship described in each case.
KTM Asia Motorcycle Manufacturing Inc. was founded in June 2016 together with partner Ayala Corp. Since mid-2017, the company has been responsible for the CKD (Completely Knocked-Down) assembly for KTM motorcycles in the Philippines.

MV Agusta Motor S.p.A., which was held as an associate in the previous year, was consolidated for the first time as of March 1, 2024, due to an increase in the number of shares from 25.1% to 50.1% and included in the consolidated financial statements of PIERER Mobility AG.
In the 2024 financial year, the Group acquired 49.0% of the shares in PIERER IMMOREAL GmbH from Pierer Konzerngesellschaft mbH by contract dated October 4, 2024. The company's line of business is real estate development and management. The purchase price amounted to EUR 10,879 thousand.

Since 2007, there has been a cooperation with the Indian Bajaj Group. The Bajaj Group is the second-largest motorcycle manufacturer in India with sales of around 4.3 million motorcycles and three-wheelers in the last fiscal year (balance sheet date March 31, 2024). The focus of the cooperation is the joint development of entrylevel street motorcycles, which are produced in India and sold under the KTM brand by both companies in their home markets.

As already explained in Section I "General Disclosures", the underlying restructuring plan of KTM AG, KTM Components GmbH and KTM Forschungs und Entwicklungs GmbH was approved by the required majority of creditors on February 25, 2025. The restructuring proceedings of KTM AG and its two subsidiaries were therefore formally concluded on 23 May 2025 by the deposit of the 30% cash quota of 22 May 2025 in the amount of EUR 525,000 thousand by the court confirmation of the restructuring plan. The final entry into force of the court confirmation will take place after the expiry of the statutory appeal period pursuant to Section 260 IO. After the entry into force of law, the group will have an expected restructuring profit of approx. EUR 1,200,000 thousand. This will be recognised in the income statement for the 2025 financial year in other operating income. For further information on management's assessment of the likelihood of a potential appeal, see Section I above.
In the course of preparations for the allocation of the funds required to meet the restructuring quota, the Bajaj Group has provided financial resources of EUR 800,000 thousand to the PIERER Mobility AG Group through the existing corporate interdependencies. Of this amount, the Group received the following funds by 26 May 2025:
• Financing loan to PIERER Mobility AG in the amount of EUR 350,000 thousand with a term of 3 years from the inflow date in 5 tranches as follows: 1st tranche: EUR 50,000 thousand on February 28, 2025 2nd tranche: EUR 50,000 thousand on March 31, 2025 3rd tranche: kEUR 50,000 on April 3, 2025 4th tranche: kEUR 50,000 on May 15, 2025 5th tranche: EUR 150,000 thousand on May 22, 2025
The financing loans were fully subordinated with a declaration dated May 21, 2025.
In addition, the Bajaj Group intends to take over the shares in PIERER Bajaj AG in full. To this end, a call option agreement was concluded between PIERER Industrie AG and Bajaj Auto International Holdings BV on 22 May 2025, which enables Bajaj Auto International Holdings BV to acquire the 50.1% shares in PIERER Bajaj AG held by PIERER Industrie AG by the end of May 2026 and thus indirectly gain control of PIERER Mobility AG and consequently also of the KTM Group. Such a change of control requires regulatory ap-provals. Only after all regulatory approvals have been obtained can shares be transferred to Bajaj Auto International Holdings BV under this call option.
In addition to the restructuring plan quota, the Group has used the funds to finance the resumption of production as of March 17, 2025, among other things, in order to finish producing the existing remaining stocks. Starting on May 1, 2025, the group has once again suspended production. This is mainly due to long delivery times of certain production-critical raw materials or components that could not be reordered from suppliers due to a lack of timely access to free liquidity. Despite intensive efforts, these factors of production could not be substituted elsewhere, so that a further suspension of production became unavoidable.
In the course of the restructuring proceedings, the Executive Board of KTM AG underwent further far-reaching changes in the 2025 financial year. Thus, the board was reduced to two people, namely Mr. Gottfried Neumeister and Verena Schneglberger-Grossmann. In addition, Dipl.-Ing. Stefan Pierer will also leave the Management Board of PIERER Mobility AG after the complete completion of the restructuring procedure in June 2025. The Supervisory Board also appoints Verena Schneglberger-Grossmann as a new member of the Management Board.
On 03.01.2025, the share in PIERER IMMOREAL GmbH held for sale was sold to Pierer Konzerngesellschaft mbH. The Group realized a gain of EUR 175 thousand from this, as the sale price was fixed with the original purchase price and the Group valued the shares in 2024 using the equity method. At the same time, the financial receivables of EUR 24,689 thousand, which were also held for sale, were repaid.
In addition, in March 2025, the assets of PIERER & MAXCOM MOBILITY OOD, Plovdiv, Bulgaria, which were also held for sale, were sold for the purchase price of EUR 35,000 thousand. The Group received these funds in March 2025 and were immediately transferred to a fiduciary account with which the outstanding bank loans of PIERER & MAXCOM Mobility OOD with DSK Bank (as of 31.03.2025: EUR 37,705 thousand) are to be repaid for the most part. The realized gain on the sale amounts to EUR 4,385 thousand. This gain on the sale deviates by EUR 148 thousand from the expected value as of the balance sheet date of December 31, 2024, as a detailed list of purchased assets was only prepared and agreed upon retrospectively. Non-sold assets relate in particular to leased commercial vehicles and IT equipment.
On 7 January 2025, restructuring proceedings without self-administration were opened for the two subsidiaries Avocodo GmbH and Pierer E-Commerce GmbH in the Linz and Ried Regional Courts, respectively. The equity of Avocodo GmbH amounted to EUR -2,840 thousand as of 31.12.2024. The equity of Pierer E-Commerce GmbH amounted to EUR -981 thousand as of 31.12.2024.
The list of shareholdings includes all companies that have been included in the consolidated financial statements in addition to the parent companies.

The consolidated financial statements will be approved by the Executive Board in May 2025 (previous year: 20.3.2024) for review by the Supervisory Board, for submission to the Annual General Meeting and for subsequent publication. The Supervisory Board may initiate an amendment to the consolidated financial statements as part of its audit.
Wels, 27 May 2025
The Executive Board of PIERER Mobility AG
Gottfried Neumeister, CEO Stefan Pierer, Co-CEO
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of PIERER Mobility AG, Wels (the Company), and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2024, the consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the financial year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements comply with legal requirements and give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2024, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU and the additional requirements under section 245a UGB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with Regulation (EU) No. 537/2014 and with the Austrian Generally Accepted Auditing Standards. Those standards require the application of the International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with laws and regulations applicable in Austria, and we have fulfilled our other professional responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained up to the date of our report is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion as of that date.
KTM AG, as the main subsidiary of PIERER Mobility AG, and two of its subsidiaries were in restructuring proceedings with self-administration within the meaning of the Austrian Insolvency Code as of the balance sheet date December 31, 2024. The requirement for the 30% cash quota and the procedural costs were imposed on the restructuring administrator on 22 May 2025. Taking into account the appeal period, the insolvency creditors are expected to receive the 30% cash quota required to fully satisfy their claims within 14 days. The Management Board estimates the probability of a successful appeal to be low, but the result remains beyond the Company's control. In the event of a successful appeal, there could be significant changes to the restructuring conditions, which may also result in adjustments to the consolidated financial statements.
In addition, the assumption of going concern is based on a going concern forecast, the implementation of which depends on endogenous and exogenous factors, some of which are beyond the Company's control, and the development of which is significant for the fulfilment of the going concern forecast. These include macroeconomic volatility and compliance with conditions agreed with investors.
These circumstances represent material uncertainties related to going concern of the company. We refer to the Management's comments in sections "Assumption on going concern" and "Impact of the restructuring proceedings on the valuation of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024" in the chapter "2. Information in connection with insolvency proceedings from material subsidiaries" of the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Management concluded that the assumption of the going concern of the company is to be regarded as predominantly likely.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matte.
Key audit matters are those matters which, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon them, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
In addition to the matters described in the section "Material uncertainties related to Going Concern", we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
In the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024, capitalized development costs in the amount of MEUR 353 are reported under the balance sheet item "Intangible assets" and therefore represent a significant part of the Group's assets.
In the 2024 financial year, the Group capitalized development costs of MEUR 135. Due to the restructuring proceedings of KTM AG opened on November 29, 2024 and the associated restructuring, Management has decided to discontinue certain development projects and in the course of this has written off development costs of not ready for use assets in the volume of MEUR 102.
We refer to the disclosures on development costs in the notes to the consolidated financial statements under "24. Intangible assets".
Research costs are treated as expenses, while development costs for future serial production are capitalized, provided that the recognition criteria under IFRS are met.
Essential prerequisites for recognizing development costs are the feasibility of the development projects (including the technical feasibility, the intention to complete and the ability to use them) and the generation of future economic benefits. The assessment of the feasibility of the project – also in connection with the corporate realignment and the associated discontinuation of individual development projects – played a significant role in the accounting process, especially due to the ongoing restructuring proceedings of the subsidiary KTM AG, and is subject to increased judgement. Proof of compliance with the recognition criteria is judgemental and requires estimates by Management. We have therefore identified the recognition and derecognition of development costs as a key audit matter.
We assessed the recognition and derecognition of development costs, in particular by performing the following audit procedures:
We reconciled the appropriateness of capitalized expenses on a sample basis by matching them with external invoices and internal time tracking. The hourly rates used in this case were verified.
We have assessed whether the derecognition of development costs is in line with IFRSs.
In the 2024 financial year, the Group identified indications of an impairment of the cashgenerating units "KTM" and "Pierer New Mobility" and determined the recoverable amount in accordance with IFRS for each of the two cash-generating units. On this basis, an impairment expense of EUR 335m (of which MEUR 110 is goodwill) was recognised in the consolidated income statement for the cash-generating unit "KTM" and an impairment expense of EUR 26m (of which MEUR 20 is goodwill) for the cash-generating unit "Pierer New Mobility".
We refer to the disclosures on the impairment test in the notes to the consolidated financial statements under "23. Goodwill and impairment test according to IAS 36".
The measurement of the recoverable amount of cash-generating units requires assumptions and estimates, such as estimating future cash inflows and determining the discount rate to be applied. We have therefore identified the recoverability of the cash-generating units "KTM" and "Pierer New Mobility" as a key audit matter.
We have assessed the impairment tests prepared by the Company with the involvement of our valuation specialists as follows:
The consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2023 were audited by another auditor who expressed an unmodified opinion on those statements on March 14,2024.
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, but does not include the consolidated financial statements, the consolidated management report and our auditor's report thereon. We received the annual report (excluding the report of the Supervisory Board) before the date of the auditor's report, and the report of the Supervisory Board is expected to be made available to us after the date of the auditor's report.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor's report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Management is responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU, the additional requirements under section 245a UGB, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group'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 to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The audit committee is responsible for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 the Regulation (EU) No 537/2014 and with Austrian Generally Accepted Auditing Standards, which require the application of the ISAs, 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 consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 537/2014 and with Austrian Generally Accepted Auditing Standards, which require the application of the ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
We also:
We communicate with the audit committee 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 the audit committee 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, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the audit committee, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated 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 or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Pursuant to statutory provisions, the consolidated management report is to be audited as to whether it is consistent with the consolidated financial statements and whether it has been prepared in accordance with the applicable legal requirements. With respect to the consolidated non-financial statement included in the consolidated management report, our responsibility is to determine whether it had been prepared, to read it and, in doing so, consider whether it is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements, or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
Management is responsible for the preparation of the consolidated management report in accordance with the Austrian Commercial Code.
We conducted our audit in accordance with laws and regulations applicable with respect to the consolidated management report.
In our opinion, the consolidated management report is prepared in accordance with the applicable legal requirements, includes appropriate disclosures according to section 243a UGB and is consistent with the consolidated financial statements.
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Group and its environment obtained in the course of our audit of the consolidate financial statements, we have not identified material misstatements in the consolidated management report.
With regard to the material uncertainties related to going concern, we refer to the sections "Restructuring proceedings KTM AG, KTM Components GmbH and KTM Forschungs & Entwicklungs GmbH" and chapter "6th Opportunity and Risk Report" in the Group Management Report, which describe the analysis of the company's situation. Furthermore, we refer to section "10th outlook" in the Group management report, which deals with the expected development of the company.
We were appointed as auditors by the annual general meeting on April 19, 2024 and commissioned by the supervisory board on July 1, 2024 to audit the consolidated financial statements for the financial year ending December 31, 2024. We have been auditing the Group since the financial year ending December 31, 2024.
We confirm that our opinion expressed in the section "Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements" is consistent with the additional report to the audit committee referred to in Article 11 of Regulation (EU) No 537/2014.
We declare that we did not provide any prohibited non-audit services referred to in Article 5(1) of Regulation (EU) No 537/2014 and that we remained independent of the Group in conducting the audit.
The engagement partner responsible for the audit is Dr. Matthias Kunsch.

This report is a translation of the audit report according to section 273 of the Austrian Commercial Code (UGB). The translation is presented for the convenience of the reader only. The German wording of the audit report is solely valid and is the only legally binding version. Section 281(2) UGB applies.
We have performed a limited assurance engagement in the connection with the consolidated nonfinancial reporting pursuant to Section 267a UGB (hereafter "non-financial reporting") for the financial year 2024 of the
Wels
(hereinafter also referred to as "Pierer Moblity" or "Company" for short).
Based on our procedures performed and the evidence we have obtained, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the consolidated non-financial reporting in the groupmanagement report in section 4 is not prepared, in all material respects, in compliance with:
in the currently valid version.
Our limited assurance engagement on the non-financial reporting was conducted in accordance with the statutory requirements and Austrian Standards on Other Assurance Engagements and additional expert opinions as well as the International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE 3000 (Revised) applicable to such engagements. An independent assurance engagement with the purpose of expressing a conclusion with limited assurance ("limited assurance engagement") is substantially less in scope than an
independent assurance engagement with the purpose of expressing a conclusion with reasonable assurance ("reasonable assurance enagement"), thus providing reduced assurance.
Our responsibility under those requirements and standards is further described in the "Responsibility of the auditor of the consolidated non-financial reporting" section of our assurance report.
We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Austrian professional regulations and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
Our audit firm is subject to the provisions of KSW-PRL 2022, which essentially corresponds to the requirements of ISQM 1, and applies a comprehensive quality management system, including documented policies and procedures for compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
We believe that the evidence we have obtained up to the date of the limited assurance report is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our conclusion as of that date.
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises all information included in the Annual Financial Report 2024 but does not include non-financial reporting and our independent assurance report.
Our conclusion on the non-financial reporting does not cover the other information and we will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our limited assurance engagement on the non-financial reporting, our responsibility is to read the other information when available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the non-financial reporting or our knowledge obtained in the limited assurance engagement or otherwise appears to be misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this context.
Management is responsible for the preparation of a non- financial reporting including the determination and implementation of the double materiality assessment processes in accordance with legal requirements and standards. This responsibility includes:
This responsibility includes also the selection and application of appropriate methods for non-financial reporting and the making of assumptions and estimates for individual sustainability disclosures that are reasonable in the circumstances.
When reporting forward-looking information, the company is obliged to prepare this forward-looking information based on disclosed assumptions about events that could occur in the future and possible future actions by the company. Actual results are likely to differ as expected events often do not occur as assumed.
When determining the disclosures in accordance with the EU-Taxonomy-Regulation, the management is obliged to interpret undefined legal terms. Undefined legal terms can be interpreted differently, also regarding the legal conformity of their interpretation and are therefore subject to uncertainties.
Our objectives are to plan and perform a limited assurance engagement to obtain limited assurance about whether the non-financial reporting, including the procedures performed to determine the information to be reported and the reporting in accordance with the EU-Taxonomy, is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a limited assurance report that includes our conclusion. 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 based on this non-financial reporting.
In a limited assurance engagement, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the assurance engagement.
Our responsibilities include
A limited assurance engagement involves performing procedures to obtain evidence about the nonfinancial reporting.
Our engagement does not include the assurance of prior period figures, printed interviews or other additional voluntary information of the company, including references to websites or other additional reporting formats of the company.
The nature, timing and extent of assurance procedures selected depend on professional judgement, including the identification of disclosures likely to be materially misstated in the non-financial reporting, whether due to fraud or error.
In conducting our limited assurance engagement on the non-financial reporting, we proceed as follows:
This limited assurance engagement is a volunatary assurance engagement. We issue this conclusion based on the assurance contract concluded with the client, which is also based, with effect on third parties, on the "General Conditions of Contract for the Public Accounting Professions" issued by the Chamber of Tax Advisors and Auditors. These can be viewed online on the website of the Chamber of Tax Advisors and Auditors (currently at https://ksw.or.at/berufsrecht/mandatsverhaeltnis/). With regard to our responsibility and liability under the contractual relationship, point 7 of the AAB 2018 applies.
Our assurance report may only be distributed to third parties together with the consolidated non-financial reporting contained in section 4 section of the group management report and only in complete and unabridged formBecause our report is prepared solely on behalf of and for the benefit of the company, its contents may not be relied upon by any other third party, and consequently, we shall not be liable for any other third party claims.
The auditor responsible for the assurance engagement of the non-financial reporting is Mag. Alexander Gall

Der Jahresabschluss wurde nach den Vorschriften der §§ 189 ff des Unternehmensgesetzbuchs (UGB)unter Beachtung der Grundsätze ordnungsmäßiger Buchführung, sowie unter Beachtung der Generalnorm, ein möglichst getreues Bild der Vermögens-, Finanz- und Ertragslage des Unternehmens zu vermitteln,aufgestellt.
Bei der Gesellschaft handelt es sich um eine große Kapitalgesellschaft im Sinne des § 221 UGB.
Bei Vermögensgegenständen und Verbindlichkeiten, die unter mehrere Posten der Bilanz fallen, wurde die Zugehörigkeit zu anderen Posten im Anhang angegeben.
Bei der Erstellung des Jahresabschlusses wurde der Grundsatz der Vollständigkeit entsprechend den gesetzlichen Regelungen eingehalten.
Bei der Bewertung der einzelnen Vermögensgegenstände und Schulden wurde der Grundsatz der Einzelbewertung beachtet und eine Fortführung des Unternehmens unterstellt.
Dem Vorsichtsprinzip wurde dadurch Rechnung getragen, dass nur die am Abschlussstichtag verwirklichten Gewinne ausgewiesen wurden. Alle erkennbaren Risiken und drohenden Verluste wurden - soweit gesetzlich geboten - berücksichtigt.
Die Gesellschaft ist ein konsolidierungspflichtiges Mutterunternehmen im Sinne des §244 UGB und hat einen Konzernabschluss, der beim Landesgericht Wels unter der Nummer FN 78112x hinterlegt wird, aufzustellen.
Die Gesellschaft ist bis ins Geschäfsjahr 2024 ein Konzernunternehmen iSd § 15 AktG (§ 115 GmbHG)und wird in den Konzernabschluss der Pierer Konzerngesellschaft mbH einbezogen.

Das Finanzanlagevermögen wurde zu Anschaffungskosten vermindert um außerplanmäßige Abschreibungen – soweit diese notwendig sind, um dauerndenWertminderungen Rechnung zu tragen – angesetzt. Die im Jahresabschluss ausgewiesenen Anteile an verbundenen Unternehmen, Beteiligungen und Wertpapiere (Wertrechte) des Anlagevermögens werden im Anlassfallauf ihre Werthaltigkeit untersucht. Anlassbezogene Bewertungen werden auf Basis von diskontierten Netto-Zahlungsmittelzuflüssen, die im Wesentlichen von zukünftigen Umsatz- und Margenerwartungen und von abgeleiteten Diskontierungszinssätzen abhängig sind, durchgeführt. Für Anteile die kurz vor dem Bilanzstichtag erworben wurden, bildet der Kaufpreis die Grundlage für die geführte Werthaltigkeitsprüfung. Anteile an verbundenen Unternehmen und Beteiligungen wurden, sofern keine Umsatzplanungen vorlagen, auf das anteilige Eigenkapital abgewertet.
Die Forderungen und sonstigen Vermögensgegenstände wurden mit dem Nennwert angesetzt.
Im Falle erkennbarer Einzelrisken wurde der niedrigere beizulegende Wert angesetzt.
In den sonstigen Rückstellungen wurden unter Beachtung des Vorsichtsprinzips alle im Zeitpunkt der Bilanzerstellung erkennbaren Risiken und der Höhe oder dem Grunde nach ungewissen Verbindlichkeiten mit den Beträgen berücksichtigt, die nach bestmöglicher Schätzung zur Erfüllung der Verpflichtung aufgewendet werden müssen. Sämtliche Rückstellungen haben eine Laufzeit von weniger als einem Jahr.
Verbindlichkeiten wurden mit ihrem Erfüllungsbetrag angesetzt.
Die bisher angewandten Bilanzierungs- und Bewertungsmethoden wurden auch bei der Erstellung des vorliegenden Jahresabschlusses beibehalten.
Per 29. November 2024 hat der Vorstand der KTM AG nach Prüfung der Alternativen den Antrag auf Eröffnung eines gerichtlichen Sanierungsverfahrens mit Eigenverwaltung über das Vermögen der KTM AG (Aktenzeichen 17 S 56/24b) und ihrer Tochtergesellschaften KTM Components GmbH (Aktenzeichen 17 S 59/24v) und KTM Forschungs & Entwicklungs GmbH (Aktenzeichen 17 S 62/24k) beim Landesgericht Ried im Innkreis, Österreich, eingereicht. Ziel des Verfahrens war es, einen Sanierungsplan mit den Gläubigern zu vereinbaren und die Gruppe nach Genehmigung dieses Plans fortzuführen. Ermöglicht werden sollte dies unter anderem durch eine Redimensionierung der Gruppe zur nachhaltigen Sicherung ihres Fortbestands. Den Gläubigern dieser drei genannten Gesellschaften wurde schließlich eine Sanierungsquote von 30 % als Kassaquote, zahlbar bis 23. Mai 2025, angeboten.
Oben angeführter Sanierungsplan wurde schließlich am 25. Februar 2025 von den Gläubigern mehrheitlich angenommen. Es wurden keine Rechtsmittel seitens der Gläubiger eingelegt, weshalb die Festlegung der 30 %-igen Sanierungsquote rechtlich nicht mehr angefochten werden kann.
Die Sanierungsverfahren der KTM AG sowie ihrer beiden Tochtergesellschaften wurden am 23. Mai 2025 durch Hinterlegung der 30 %-igen Kassaquote vom 22. Mai 2025 im Umfang von TEUR 525.000 durch die gerichtliche Bestätigung des Sanierungsplans formal abgeschlossen. Der endgültige Eintritt der Rechtskraft der gerichtlichen Bestätigung erfolgt nach Ablauf der gesetzlichen Rekursfrist gemäß § 260 IO. Das Management schätzt auf Basis der Auskünfte von Rechtsexperten die Wahrscheinlichkeit eines erfolgreichen Rekurses als gering ein, wenngleich ein Rekurs ein Ergebnis außerhalb der Kontrolle des Unternehmens darstellt. Im unwahrscheinlichen Fall eines erfolgreichen Rekurses könnte es zu einer wesentlichen Verzögerung des Abschlusses des Sanierungsverfahrens und gegebenenfalls sogarzu wesentlichen Änderungen der Restrukturierungsbedingungen kommen. Dies könnte gegebenenfalls auch die Einschätzung der Annahme der Unternehmensfortführung durch das Management beeinflussen und zu weiteren Anpassungen des Jahresabschlusses führen.
Dieser Jahresabschluss der PIERER Mobility AG wird unter der Annahme der Unternehmensfortführung aufgestellt. Das Management geht davon aus, dass der Fortbestand des Unternehmens aufgrund folgender, wesentlicher Annahmen überwiegend wahrscheinlich ist:
Der Mehrheitsgesellschafter der PIERER Mobility AG, die Pierer Bajaj AG und deren Aktionär Bajaj Auto International Holdings B.V. haben der Gesellschaft bis zum 23.05.2025 ein Gesellschafterdarlehen in Höhe von EUR 350 000 000,00 zur Verfügung gestellt. Somit besteht auf Ebene der PIERER Mobility AG eine Fremdkapitalzufuhr in Höhe von EUR 350.000.000,00.
Dieses Darlehen wird entsprechend verzinst und weist eine Laufzeit von 3 Jahre auf.Die Zinsen des Darlehens sind nur zahlbar, wenn es die finanzielle Situation der PIERER Mobility AG zulässt.
Die Pierer Bajaj AG hat für das Gesellschafterdarlehen in Höhe von EUR 350 000 000,00 eine Nachrangig keitserklärung gemäß § 67 Abs. 3 IO abgegeben.
Da die PIERER Bajaj AG als Darlehensgeber zugesagt hat, das Darlehen über EUR 350 000 000,00 nur zurückzufordern, wenn dies die wirtschaftliche Situation der PIERER Mobility AG zulässt, und die Zinsen des Darlehens von PIERER Mobility AG auch nur in diesem Fall geleistet werden müssen, sieht das Management den positiven Fortbestand der PIERER Mobility AG.
Die Annahme der Unternehmensfortführung der PIERER Mobility hängt in einem wesentlichen Ausmaß von der Fortführung ihrer wesentlichsten Tochterunternehmen der KTM AG (Gruppe) und dem Liquidationserlös der Pierer New Mobility ab und ist dementsprechend wesentlichen Unsicherheiten ausgesetzt. Auf die nachfolgenden Ausführungen wird verwiesen.
Dieser Jahresabschluss wird weiters unter der Annahme der Unternehmensfortführung der KTM AG aufgestellt. Das Management geht davon aus, dass der Fortbestand des Unternehmens aufgrund folgender, wesentlicher Annahmen überwiegend wahrscheinlich ist:
und endogenen Faktoren.
Wenngleich das Management sowie die unabhängigen Experten bei Eintritt der Planungsprämissen davon ausgehen, dass die Fortführungsannahme überwiegend wahrscheinlich ist, unterliegen bestimmte Annahmen und Faktoren wesentlichen Unsicherheiten, da sie auf dem Eintritt von Umständen beruhen, die außerhalb der Kontrolle des Unternehmens liegen. Dazu zählen insbesondere die zur Wiederherstellung der Ertragskraft erwarteten makroökonomischen Rahmenbedingungen, die zumindest mittelfristige Bereitstellung der gewährten Finanzierungen sowie die Einhaltung der diesbezüglichen Bestimmungen durch die Kapitalgeber. Diese Umstände stellen somit eine wesentliche Unsicherheit dar, die bedeutsame Zweifel an der Fähigkeit der Gesellschaft zur Fortführung der Unternehmenstätigkeit aufwerfen können. In diesem Fall ist die Gesellschaft dann möglicherweise nicht in der Lage, im Rahmen des gewöhnlichen Geschäftsbetriebs
ihre Vermögenswerte zu realisieren und ihre Schulden zu begleichen.Das Management reagiert auf diese wesentlichen Unsicherheiten mit verstärkter Überwachung der Umsetzung des Sanierungskonzeptes der Tochtergesellschaften sowie zusätzlichen Initiativen zur Reduktion von Kosten und zur Steigerung der Ertragskraft. Im Geschäftsjahr 2025 konnte das Unternehmen bereits Erfolge bei der Wiederherstellung der Ertragskraft erzielen und Einsparungsmaßnahmen in wesentlichem Umfang umsetzen. Trotz der erforderlichen Verschiebung der zu Jahresbeginn geplanten Wiederaufnahme der vollen Produktion am Standort Mattighofen ab April 2025 zeigt die angepasste Liquiditätsvorschau deutliche Verbesserungen im Vergleich zur ursprünglichen Planungsrechnung.

Zum Stichtag hält die Gesellschaft keine eigenen Aktien.
Der Vorstand ist gemäß §169 AktG ermächtigt, bis 29.04.2027 mit Zustimmung des Aufsichtsrates das Grundkapital der Gesellschaft von EUR 33.796.535,00, allenfalls in mehreren Tranchen, gegen Bar und/oder Sacheinlagen um bis zu EUR 16.898.267,00 durch Ausgabe von bis zu 16.898.267 Stück auf Inhaber lautende nennbetragslose Stückaktien auf bis zu EUR 50.694.802,00 zu erhöhen und den Ausgabebetrag sowie die Ausgabebedingungen und die weiteren Einzelheiten der Durchführung der Kapitalerhöhung im Einvernehmen mit dem Aufsichtsrat festzusetzen sowie allenfalls die neuen Aktien im Wege des mittelbaren Bezugsrechts gemäß § 153 Abs 6 AktG den Aktionären zum Bezug anzubieten.
Seit dem 14. November 2016 sind die Aktien der PIERER Mobility AG im International Reporting Standard der SIX Swiss Exchange primärkotiert. Am 29. März 2017 wurden die Aktien der PIERER Mobility AG in den Swiss Performance Index (SPI) der SIX Swiss Exchange aufgenommen. Seit dem 1.

Die Kapitalrücklage in Höhe von EUR 1 101 854 539,84 (Vorjahr: EUR 1 101 854 539,84) wurde im Geschäftsjahr zur Gänze aufgelöst.
Die gesetzliche Gewinnrücklage in Höhe von EUR 3 379 653,50 (Vorjahr: EUR 3 379 653,50) wurde im Geschäftsjahr zur Gänze aufgelöst.
Die PIERER Mobility AG weist zum Bilanzstichtag 31.12.2024 ein negatives Eigenkapital in Höhe von EUR -400 410 786,09 (Vorjahr positives Eigenkapital von EUR 1 301 494 841,79) aus. Der Rückgang des Eigenkapitals um EUR 1 701905 627,88 im Geschäftsjahr 2024 resultiert im Wesentlichen aus den Aufwendungen aus Abschreibungen von Anteilen an verbundenen Unternehmen sowie der Erfassung einer Rückstellung für drohende Verluste aus der Einlösung von Forderungen gegenüber verbundenen Unternehmen.
Das Management hat zur Feststellung der insolvenzrechtlichen Überschuldung eine Fortbestehensprognose erstellt. Diese basiert aufder Annahme, dass sowohl das Eigenkapital also auch die finanzielle Situation durch verschiedene Maßnahmen stabilisiert wird. Diese Maßnahmen beinhalten unter anderem die Bereitstellung von zusätzlichem Kapital durch die Mehrheitsgesellschafterin Pierer Bajaj AG. Zum 23.05.2025 hat die Gesellschaft bereits Gesellschafterdarlehen in Höhe von EUR 350 000 000,00 erhalten. Zudem basiert die Fortbestehensprognose auf der erfolgreichen Sanierung der KTM AG und dem geplanten Ausstieg aus dem Fahrradsegment. Weiteres erwartet das Management im Prognosezeitraum keine wesentlichen Zahlungsmittelabflüsse aus zum Abschlussstichtag nicht bilanzierten Schulden und Eventualverbindlichkeiten. Dadurch ist die Gesellschaft in der Lage ihre Zahlungsverpflichtungen im Prognosezeitraum zu erfüllen.

Der steuerliche Ertragsausgleich zwischen dem Gruppenträger und dem Gruppenmitglied ist in der Gruppen und Steuerumlagevereinbarung geregelt. Die PIERER Mobility AG ist Gruppenträgerin der Steuergruppe der KTM AG und diverser inländischer Tochterunternehmen. Diese ermittelt ihr steuerliches Einkommen unter Berücksichtigung der steuerlichen Ergebnisse der ihr untergeordneten Gruppenmitglieder (KTM-Gruppeneinkommen). Dieses saldierte KTM-Gruppeneinkommen wird von derKTM AG an die PIERER Mobility AG weitergeleitet. Die von der KTM AG zu leistende Steuerumlage ermittelt sich auf Basis des saldierten KTM-Gruppeneinkommens. Die Steuerumlagenzahlung sowie die Zurechnung eines (positiven oder negativen) Einkommens der KTM AG und deren Tochterunternehmen an die PIERER Mobility AG erfolgt ausschließlich von der KTM AG. Wird dem Gruppenträger vom Gruppenmitglied ein positives Einkommen zugerechnet, so beträgt die positive Steuerumlage 23 % des zugerechneten positiven Einkommens. Im Falle der Zurechnung von Verlusten erhält das Gruppenmitglied keine Steuerumlage. Nicht verrechenbare Verluste werden für das Gruppenmitglied zur Verrechnung mit seinen positiven oder mit positiven Gesamtgruppenergebnissen in der Zukunftevident gehalten.
Auf Grund der Verwertung von Gruppenverlusten wurde im Geschäftsjahr 2024 ein Steuerrückstellung gemäß § 198 Abs 9 UGB in Höhe von EUR 184 953 575,29 (Vorjahr: EUR 0,00) gebildet.

Wie bereits unter Abschnitt "Laufendes Sanierungsverfahren, informationen im zusammenhang mit insolvenzverfahren von Tochtergesellschaften" erläutert, wurde der zugrundeliegende Sanierungsplan der KTM AG, der KTM Components GmbH sowie der KTM Forschungs und Entwicklungs GmbH am 25. Februar 2025 von der erforderlichen Mehrheit der Gläubiger angenommen. Die Sanierungsverfahren der KTM AG sowie ihrer beiden Tochtergesellschaften wurden folglich am 23. Mai 2025 durch Hinterlegung der 30 %-igen Kassaquote vom 22. Mai 2025 im Umfang von TEUR 525.000 durch die gerichtliche Bestätigung des
Sanierungsplans formal abgeschlossen. Der endgültige Eintritt der Rechtskraft der gerichtlichen Bestätigung erfolgt nach Ablauf der gesetzlichen Rekursfrist gemäß § 260 IO. Nach Eintritt der Rechtskraft ergibt sich für die Gruppe ein voraussichtlicher Restrukturierungsgewinn von ca. TEUR 1.200.000. Dieser wird in der Gewinn- und Verlustrechnung des Geschäftsjahres 2025 in den sonstigen betrieblichen Erträgen erfasst werden. Für weitere Angaben zur Einschätzung der Wahrscheinlichkeit durch das Management in Bezug auf einen möglichen Rekurs siehe genannten Abschnitt "Laufendes Sanierungsverfahren, informationen im zusammenhang mit insolvenzverfahren von Tochtergesellschaften".
Im Zuge der Vorbereitungen für die Allokation der für die Erfüllung der Sanierungsquote benötigten Mittel hat die Bajaj-Gruppe über die bestehenden konzernalen Verflechtungen der PIERER Mobility AG-Gruppe Finanzmittel in Höhe von TEUR 800.000 zur Verfügung gestellt. Davon sind der Gruppe bis 26. Mai 2025 folgende Finanzmittel zugeflossen:
Die Finanzierungsdarlehen wurden mit Erklärung vom 21.05.2025zur Gänze nachrangig gestellt.
Restrukturierungsdarlehen an KTM AG mit einer Laufzeit von 3 Jahren, d. h. bis zum 30.12.2028, in Höhe von TEUR 450.000 durch die Bajaj Auto International Holdings BV, Niederlande
Darüber hinaus beabsichtigt die Bajaj-Gruppe, die Anteile an der PIERER Bajaj AG vollständig zu übernehmen. Dazu wurde am 22. Mai 2025 eine Call-Optionsvereinbarung zwischen der PIERER Industrie AG und der Bajaj Auto International Holdings BV geschlossen, die der Bajaj Auto International Holdings BV ermöglicht, bis Ende Mai 2026 die von der PIERER Industrie AG gehaltenen Anteile von 50,1 % an der PIERER Bajaj AG zu erwerben und somit indirekt die Kontrolle über die PIERER Mobility AG und folglich auch über die KTM-Gruppe zu erlangen. Ein derartiger Kontrollwechsel erfordert regulatorische Freigaben. Erst nach Vorliegen sämtlicher regulatorischer Freigaben können Aktien unter dieser Call-Option an die Bajaj Auto International Holdings BV übertragen werden.
Die Gruppe hat mit den Mitteln neben der Sanierungsplan-Quote unter anderem die Wiederaufnahme der Produktion per 17. März 2025 finanziert, um die vorhandenen Restbestände fertig zu produzieren. Beginnend mit 1. Mai 2025 hat die Gruppe abermals die Produktion ausgesetzt. Ursächlich hierfür zeichnen sich vor allem lange Lieferzeiten bestimmter produktionskritischer Rohmaterialien bzw. Komponenten, die mangels rechtzeitigem Zugang zu freier Liquidität bei Lieferanten nicht nachbestellt werden konnten. Trotz intensiver Bemühungen konnten diese Produktionsfaktoren auch nichtanderweitig substituiertwerden, sodass ein nochmaliges Aussetzen der Produktion unumgänglich wurde.

Das Geschäftsjahr für den Einzelabschluss der PIERER Mobility AG umfasst den Zeitraum vom 1.1.2024 bis 31.12.2024.
Die PIERER Mobility AG ist die Holdinggesellschaft der KTM AG, einem der führenden Motorradhersteller Europas. Mit dem Fokus auf das Premiumsegment vereint das Unternehmen Marken wie KTM, Husqvarna und GASGAS unter einem Dach. Zum Premium-Markensortiment zählen auch die Hochleistungskomponenten der Marke WP und die speziellen KTM X-BOW Hochleistungssportwagen. Husqvarna und GASGAS Elektrofahrräder sowie Fahrräder der Marke Felt komplementieren das Zweiradsortiment der PIERER Mobility-Gruppe (die "Gruppe").
Die Aktien der PIERER Mobility AG sind im "Swiss Performance Index (SPI)" der SIX Swiss Exchange in Zürich primärkotiert und zusätzlich im Segment prime market der Wiener Börse gelistet.
Die PIERER Mobility AG ist Alleinaktionärin der KTM AG und hält 10.678.706 Stk. Aktien (100% Anteile). Zum Stichtag 31.12.2024 hält die PIERER Mobility AG unverändert 100% an der PIERER Innovation GmbH, 100% an der PIERER E-Commerce GmbH und 100% an der Avocodo GmbH. Seit 19.04.2024 hält die PIERER Mobility AG direkt100% an der KTM Forschungs- und Entwicklungs GmbH sowie 100% an der KTM Racing GmbH, die in die KTM AG eingebracht wurden. Die PIERER Mobility AG hält seit 16.05.2024 direkt 100% an der PIERER New Mobility AG. An der Kiska GmbH hältdie Gesellschaft unverändert 50% sowie an der AC styria Mobilitätscluster GmbH 12,33%. Die Anteile an der LX media GmbH haben sich von 74% auf 20% reduziert.
Da die PIERER Mobility AG im Wesentlichen die Aufgaben einer geschäftsleitenden Holdinggesellschaft erfüllt, wird im Lagebericht auch auf die Entwicklungen des Geschäftsjahres 2024 ihrer Tochtergesellschaften sowie des Konzerns insgesamt eingegangen.
Dieser Jahresabschluss der PIERER Mobility AG wird unter der Annahme der Unternehmensfortführung aufgestellt. Das Management geht davon aus, dass der Fortbestand des Unternehmens aufgrund folgender, wesentlicher Annahmen überwiegend wahrscheinlich ist:
Der Mehrheitsgesellschafter der PIERER Mobility AG, die Pierer Bajaj AG und deren Aktionär Bajaj Auto International Holdings B.V. haben der Gesellschaft bis zum 23.05.2025 ein Gesellschafterdarlehen in Höhe von EUR 350 000 000,00 zur Verfügung gestellt. Somit besteht auf Ebene der PIERER Mobility AG eine Fremdkapitalzufuhr in Höhe von EUR 350.000.000,00.
Dieses Darlehen wird entsprechend verzinst und weist eine Laufzeit von 3 Jahre auf.Die Zinsen des Darlehens sind nur zahlbar, wenn es die finanzielle Situation der PIERER Mobility AG zulässt.
Die Pierer Bajaj AG hat für das Gesellschafterdarlehen in Höhe von EUR 350 000 000,00 eine Nachrangig-
keitserklärung gemäß § 67 Abs. 3 IO abgegeben.
Da die PIERER Bajaj AG als Darlehensgeber zugesagt hat, das Darlehen über EUR 350 000 000,00 nur zurückzufordern, wenn dies die wirtschaftliche Situation der PIERER Mobility AG zulässt, und die Zinsen des Darlehens von PIERER Mobility AG auch nur in diesem Fall geleistet werden müssen, sieht das Management den positiven Fortbestand der PIERER Mobility AG.
Die Annahme der Unternehmensfortführung der PIERER Mobility hängt in einem wesentlichen Ausmaß von der Fortführung ihrer wesentlichsten Tochterunternehmen der KTM AG (Gruppe) und dem Liquidationserlös der Pierer New Mobility ab und ist dementsprechend wesentlichen Unsicherheiten ausgesetzt. Auf die nachfolgenden Ausführungen wird verwiesen.
Die KTM AG ist eine 100%ige Tochtergesellschaft der PIERER Mobility AG und war im H1 2024 für mehr als 95% des Umsatzes der PIERER Mobility-Gruppe verantwortlich.
Im November 2024 wurde im Zuge der Liquiditätsplanung für das Geschäftsjahr 2025 klar, dass die KTM einen signifikanten zusätzlichen Liquiditätsbedarf abzudecken hatte. Trotz intensiver Bemühungen, die Situation zusammen mit Gläubigern und Geldgebern außergerichtlich zu lösen, musste am 29. November 2024 ein gerichtliches "Sanierungsverfahren mit Eigenverwaltung" über das Vermögen der KTM AG sowie ihrer Tochtergesellschaften KTM Components GmbH und KTM Forschungs & Entwicklungs GmbH beantragt werden. Ziel des Verfahrens war es, sich mit den Gläubigern innerhalb des gesetzlich vorgesehenen Zeitrahmens, konkret bis zum 25. Februar 2025, auf einen Sanierungsplan zu einigen und die KTM Gruppe nach Genehmigung und Erfüllung dieses Plans fortzuführen.
Neben den Verhandlungen mit den Gläubigern initiierte die Gruppe eine Reihe von Maßnahmen zur kurzfristigen Kostensenkung und langfristigen Redimensionierung der Produktion in Österreich.Es wurde entschieden, die Produktion in Mattighofen/Munderfing ab 13. Dezember 2024 bis März 2025 zu unterbrechen und danach im Einschichtbetrieb (zuvor im Zweischichtbetrieb) fortzuführen. Diese Maßnahme ging einher mit einem weiteren Personalabbau und einer temporären (für die Zeit der Produktionsunterbrechung) Arbeitszeitreduktion von standardmäßig 38,5 Wochenstunden auf 30,0 Wochenstunden). Neben den kurzfristigen Kostensenkungen unterstützte diese Maßnahme den beschleunigten Abbau der hohen Lagerstände.
Die Gläubiger nahmen am 25. Februar 2025 die Sanierungspläne der drei Gesellschaften an. Mit den Gläubigern der KTM AG wurde eine Kassaquote von 30% vereinbart, die bis zum 23. Mai 2025 dem Sanierungsverwalter zu hinterlegen ist. Die Kassaquote von 30% wurde fristgerechthinterlegt, das Gericht wird voraussichtlich im Juni 2025 den Sanierungsplan bestätigen. Nach Eintritt der Rechtskraft ist das Sanierungsverfahren der KTM AG beendet.
Der Bilanzierung sowie die Berichterstattung im nachstehenden Lagebericht erfolgten unverändert unter der Annahme der Unternehmensfortführung der PIERER Mobility AG. Diese Einschätzung beruht auf aktuellen Erkenntnissen und Entwicklungen im Zusammenhang mit dem Sanierungsverfahren. Damit geht mit dem Sanierungsverfahren grundsätzlich keine Änderung der angewandten Grundsätze der Rechnungslegung und von Bilanzierungs- und Bewertungsmethoden einher.
Die schwierigen gesamtwirtschaftlichen Rahmenbedingungen zu Beginn des Geschäftsjahres 2024 haben länger angehalten als ursprünglich angenommen. Das Wachstum in der Eurozone war weiterhin gering, wobei sich insbesondere der wichtige deutsche Markt in einer Rezession befand. In den USA war die Kaufkraft der Konsumenten aufgrund der hohen Lebenshaltungskosten und infolge der langen Phase teurer Konsumkredite weiterhin niedrig.
Die Aussichten für die Weltwirtschaft sind nach wie vor eingetrübt. Die Auswirkungen des seit 2022 andauernden russisch-ukrainischen Krieges, die jüngsten Entwicklungen des Krieges im Nahen Osten und die dort anhaltenden Spannungen sowie die deutlich höheren Inflationsraten haben neben anderen Faktoren zu einer Verlangsamung der Weltwirtschaft geführt. Obwohl das globale Wirtschaftswachstum davon unverändert belastet ist, hat die Weltwirtschaft als Ganzes eine bemerkenswerte Widerstandsfähigkeit gezeigt. Dabei gibt es aber regional und national erhebliche Unterschiede.
Die neue US-Administration hat im Frühjahr 2025 umfangreiche und signifikante Einfuhrzölle implementiert, die alle wesentlichen Wirtschaftsregionen weltweit betreffen. Zum Zeitpunkt der Erstellung dieses Berichts ist nicht absehbar, wie viel Bestand diese neuen Zölle haben werden und welche Gegenmaßnahmen von anderen Wirtschaftsräumen gesetzt werden. Ebenfalls unklar ist, ob es durch die Zölle zu neuen Handelsallianzen kommen wird. Es ist zu erwarten, dass durch Zölle die Preise für die Konsumenten steigen und das verfügbare Einkommen der Privathaushalte sinkt.
Weiters haben die USA Bemühungen unternommen, den Krieg in der Ukraine zu beenden. Dies ging einher mit einem Zurückfahren der Militärhilfen für die Ukraine. Die Europäischen Union hat darauf geantwortet und will bis zu € 800 Milliarden für die Aufrüstung mobilisieren. Die EU-Defizitgrenzen sollen zugunsten einer Erhöhung der nationalen Verteidigungsausgaben der Mitgliedstaaten gelockert werden.
Neben diesen zwei Themen bergen insbesondere die Lage im Nahen undMittleren Osten (insbesondere in und um Israel bzw. in Zusammenhang mit dem Atomprogramm im Iran und Unsicherheiten der Transportroute durch den Golf von Aden) sowie die Spannungen zwischen China und Taiwan Risiken.

Die Bilanzsumme zum 31.12.2024 in Höhe von TEUR 189.983 (Vorjahr: TEUR 1.334.958) hat sich um TEUR 1.144.975 reduziert. Die Veränderung ist im Wesentlichen auf den Rückgang der Finanzanlagen in Höhe von TEUR 1.289.506, den Rückgang der Forderungen gegenüber verbundenen Unternehmen in Höhe von TEUR 12.641 sowie den Rückgang der liquiden Mittel um TEUR 27.309 zurückzuführen. Im GJ 2024 wurden erstmalig aktiv latente Steuern in Höhe von TEUR 184.497 gebildet, die sich positiv auf die Bilanzsumme ausgewirkt haben.
Das Anlagevermögen in Höhe von TEUR 2.997 (Vorjahr: TEUR 1.292.583) hat sich im Wesentlichen durch
die außerordentliche Abschreibung von Beteiligungen vermindert.Das Umlaufvermögen in Höhe von TEUR 4.671 (Vorjahr: TEUR 42.339) hat sich im Geschäftsjahr 2024 um TEUR 37.668 reduziert und ist im Wesentlichen auf den Rückgang der Forderungen gegenüber verbundenen Unternehmen sowie der liquiden Mittel zurückzuführen. Die Forderungen gegenüber verbundenen Unternehmen betragen zum Stichtag TEUR 3.177 (Vorjahr: TEUR 13.613) und betreffen im Wesentlichen Forderungen aus laufenden Verrechnungen und sonstigen Forderungen. Die liquiden Mittel haben sich
gegenüber dem Vorjahr um TEUR 27.309 vermindert.Das Eigenkapital ist gegenüber dem Vorjahr von TEUR 1.301.495 auf ein negatives Eigenkapital in Höhe von TEUR -400.411 gesunken. Die Veränderung ergibt sich aus dem Ergebnis nach Steuern in Höhe von TEUR -1.685.007 sowie der Gewinnausschüttung in Höhe von TEUR 16.898.
Die Rückstellungen in Höhe von TEUR 545.283 (Vorjahr: TEUR 413) haben sich im Wesentlichen aufgrund einer latenten Steuerrückstellung in Höhe von TEUR 184.961 sowie einer Garantierückstellung in Höhe von TEUR 360.000 erhöht.
Die Verbindlichkeiten haben sich im abgelaufenen Geschäftsjahr erhöht und lagen zum 31.12.2024 bei TEUR 47.315 (Vorjahr: TEUR 33.050). Der Anstieg der Verbindlichkeiten betrifft im Wesentlichen die Erhöhung der Verbindlichkeiten gegenüber verbundenen Unternehmen um TEUR 13.034 im Zusammenhang mit einer Kaufpreisverbindlichkeit in Höhe von TEUR 12.295 an KTM AG betreffend dem Erwerb der PIERER New Mobility GmbH.
Die liquiden Mittelsind per 31.12.2024 um TEUR 27.309 auf TEUR 1.380 gesunken. Der Cash-Flow aus der laufenden Geschäftstätigkeit ist gegenüber dem Vorjahr von TEUR 78.384 auf TEUR 8.935 gesunken.
Der Cash-Flow aus der Investitionstätigkeit beträgt TEUR -31.641 (Vorjahr: TEUR -1.560) und ist im Wesentlichen auf die Veränderung der Finanzanlagen und sonstige Finanzinvestitionen in Höhe von TEUR -32.154, sowie auf die positive Veränderung der Forderungen gegenüber verbundenen Unternehmen in Höhe von TEUR 589 zurückzuführen.
Der Cash-Flow aus der Finanzierungstätigkeit beträgt TEUR -4.604(Vorjahr: TEUR -67.593). Die Veränderung betrifft die Tilgung von Finanzierungen gegenüber verbundenen Unternehmen in Höhe von TEUR 12.295 sowie Gewinnausschüttungen in Höhe von TEUR -16.898.
Die PIERER Mobility AG hat im abgelaufenen Geschäftsjahr einen Jahresfehlbetrag von TEUR 1.685.007 (Vorjahr: TEUR 42.886 Jahresüberschuss) erzielt. Negativ wirkten sich vor allem die außerplanmäßigen Abschreibungen auf Finanzanlagen in Höhe von TEUR 1.681.659 sowie der Rückgang von Dividendenerträgen gegenüber dem Vorjahr in Höhe von TEUR 12.023 aus. Positiv wirkte sich vor allem der Rückgang der sonstigen betrieblichen Aufwendungen in Höhe von TEUR 6.634 aus. Die sonstigen betrieblichen Aufwendungen in Höhe von TEUR 10.149 (Vorjahr: TEUR 16.783) betreffen im Wesentlichen Aufwendungen für konzerninterne Dienstleistungen und Umlagen, Aufwendungen für Vorstandstätigkeiten, Steuerberatungsaufwand sowie Rechts- und Beratungsaufwand.

Das interne Kontrollsystem der PIERER Mobility AG hatdie Aufgabe, die Ordnungsmäßigkeit und Zuverlässigkeit der Finanzberichterstattung, die Einhaltung der für das Unternehmen maßgeblichen gesetzlichen und unternehmensinternen Vorschriften sowie die Wirksamkeit und Wirtschaftlichkeit der betrieblichen Tätigkeit einschließlich des Schutzes des Vermögens vor Verlusten durch Schäden und Malversationen sicherzustellen. In der Gestaltung der Elemente des internen Kontrollsystems wurden international anerkannte Rahmenwerke für Interne Kontrollsysteme (z.B. COSO-Framework) berücksichtigt.
Das System umfasst:
Die Gesellschaft setzt auf eine kontinuierliche Weiterentwicklung und Verbesserung des internen Kontrollsystems. Dazu erfolgt regelmäßig eine Überwachung seiner Funktionsfähigkeit durch Prozess- und Datenanalysen sowie unabhängige, externe Prüfungstätigkeiten. Im Folgendenwerden die wesentlichen Merkmale des internen Kontrollsystems im Hinblick auf den Rechnungslegungsprozess dargestellt.
Die Organisationsstruktur der PIERER Mobility AG bildet die Basis für das Kontrollumfeld und das interne Kontrollsystem im Unternehmen. Im Bereich der Aufbauorganisation im (Konzern-) Rechnungswesen bestehen eindeutige Kompetenz- und Verantwortungsbereiche auf den unterschiedlichen Führungs- und Hierarchieebenen der Gesellschaft. Dies betrifft einerseits die Konzernzentrale in Wels sowie die österreichischen und alle internationalen Tochtergesellschaften.
Der starken internationalen Ausrichtung der Gruppe und derdamit zusammenhängenden dezentralen Gesellschafts- und Standortstrukturen wird durch die Zentralisierung von wesentlichen Unternehmensfunktionen im Bereich der Finanzberichterstattung in den österreichischen Standorten (insbesondere in Mattighofen) begegnet. Insbesondere hervorzuheben für die Verantwortlichkeit von Rechnungslegung und Finanzberichterstattung sind hier die Bereiche Finance, Controlling und Risk Management & Dealer Financing, die eng miteinander abgestimmt die Finanzzahlen erarbeiten und direkt unter dem Vorstand der KTM AG bzw. dem Konzernvorstand angesiedelt sind. Die Verwaltung, Organisation und Verantwortung dieser dreiangeführten Unternehmensbereiche obliegt den jeweiligen Bereichsleitern. Die Strategiesetzung und Überwachung der Umsetzung liegt im Aufgabenbereich des Vorstands der PIERER Mobility AG.
In der Ablauforganisation setzt die PIERER Mobility AG auf ein ausgeprägtes und umfangreiches Regelwerk an Bilanzierungs-, Bewertungs- und Kontierungsvorgaben. Dies stellt eine angemessene Basis für ein starkes Kontrollumfeld und Kontrollsystem dar. Neue Bilanzierungsstandards werden hinsichtlich ihrer Auswirkung auf die Rechnungslegung der Gruppe beurteilt. Die Vorgaben an die Rechnungslegung und die Rechnungslegungsprozesse werden laufend überprüft und mindestens jährlich, bei Bedarf häufiger, in enger Abstimmung der zuständigen Verantwortungsbereiche angepasst. Die Berichterstattung mit den zugehörigen Ergebnissen erfolgt anschließend im Konzernanhang. Die Überwachung der Einhaltung der rechnungslegungsbezogenen Regelungen und Kontrollen liegt in der Verantwortung des jeweils zuständigen Bereichsmanagements.
Risiken in Bezug aufden Rechnungslegungsprozess werden durch das jeweilige Bereichsmanagement erhoben und überwacht sowie im Risikomanagementprozess berücksichtigt. Der Fokus wird dabei auf jene Risiken gelegt, die als wesentlich zu betrachten sind.
Die wesentlichen Risiken im Bereich der Rechnungslegung umfassen die nicht vollständige Erfassung von bilanzierungsrelevanten Sachverhalten, Fehler in der Belegerfassung sowie fehlerhafte Berechnungen. Komplexe Bilanzierungsgrundsätze könnten zu einem erhöhten Fehlerrisiko, unrichtigen Ausweis sowie verspätete Bilanzerstellung führen. Zudem besteht das Risiko eines Datenzugriffes von unberechtigten Personen bzw. Datenmanipulation, Ausfall von IT-Systemen und Datenverlust.
Für die Erstellung des Abschlusses müssen regelmäßig Schätzungen vorgenommen werden, bei denen das immanente Risiko besteht, dass die zukünftige Entwicklung von diesen Schätzungen abweicht. Dies trifft insbesondere auf die folgenden Sachverhalte/Posten des Jahresabschlusses zu: Ausgang von Rechtsstreitigkeiten, Werthaltigkeit von Forderungen sowie Beteiligungen. Teilweise werden externe Experten zugezogen bzw. wird auf öffentlich zugängliche Quellen abgestellt,um das Risiko einer Fehleinschätzung zu minimieren.
Die Gesellschaft hat ihre Kontrollen direkt in die (Konzern-)Rechnungslegungsprozesse integriert. Wesentliches Element ist dabei, neben prozessunabhängigen externen Kontrollmechanismen, das Prinzip der Funktionstrennung. Zur Gewährleistung einer vollständigen, zeitgerechten und richtigen Bilanzerstellung wurden in allen am Buchungsprozess beteiligten Bereichen Qualitätssicherungs- und Kontrollmaßnahmen implementiert. Sämtliche Kontrollmaßnahmen werden im laufenden Geschäftsprozess angewandt, um sicherzustellen, dass potenzielle Fehler in der Finanzberichterstattung vorgebeugtbzw. diese entdeckt und korrigiert werden. Die Gesellschaft sucht stets nach technisch-automatisierten Lösungen, um so bestehende Kontrollmechanismen zu verbessern bzw. neue zu implementieren. Der Fokus liegt einerseits auf ganzheitlichen, den Rechnungslegungsprozess überspannenden als auch andererseits auf detaillierten Anwendungsautomatismen wie beispielsweise bei der Abschlusserstellung sowie in der laufenden Buchhaltung. Des Weiteren führt die Anwendung von unternehmensinternen Richtlinien zu einer einheitlichen Behandlung der Geschäftsfälle sowie zu einer einheitlichen Bilanzierung und Berichterstattung.
In den wichtigen IT-Systemen mit Rechnungslegungsrelevanz sind unter anderem automatisierte Kontrollen integriert, die unter anderem die falsche Erfassung von Geschäftsvorfällen verhindern, die vollständige Erfassung von Geschäftsvorfällen beziehungsweise Bewertung der Geschäftsvorfälle entsprechend den Rechnungslegungsvorschriften sicherstellen oder die Überprüfung der Konsolidierung unterstützen sollen. Im Hinblick auf die steigenden Anforderungen an IT-Systeme in der Rechnungslegung sowie den ständig steigenden technischen Möglichkeiten führt die Gruppe regelmäßig IT-gestützte Analysen der Wirksamkeit der gesetzten Maßnahmen durch, um etwaige aufgetretene Kontrollschwächen zu erkennen und anschließend zu beseitigen.
Kontrollmaßnahmen in Bezug auf die IT-Sicherheit stellen einen Eckpfeiler des internen Kontrollsystems dar. So wird die Trennung von sensiblen Tätigkeiten durch eine restriktive Vergabe von IT-Berechtigungen unterstützt. Durch die eingesetzte ERP-Software finden automatisierte Prüfungen statt, wie z.B. die automatisierten Kontrollen beiRechnungsfreigabe und Rechnungsprüfung.
Die Verantwortung für die Wirksamkeit des internen Kontrollsystems im (Konzern-) Rechnungslegungsprozess ist klar geregelt und liegt bei den verantwortlichen Führungskräften und Prozessverantwortlichen. In die Beurteilung der Wirksamkeit fließen neben den Ergebnissen aus der unternehmensinternen Einschätzung auch jene von externen Prüfungen, z. B. im Rahmen der Jahresabschlussprüfung oder von externen IT-Security Audits, sowie des Aufsichtsrats und des Prüfungsausschusses ein. Schwächen im Kontrollsystem werden unter Berücksichtigung ihrer möglichen Auswirkung auf die Rechnungslegungsprozesse behoben.
Neben den gesetzlich vorgeschriebenen Abschlüssen, welche den Führungsebenen zur Verfügung gestellt werden, wurde im Konzern auch ein umfangreiches Internes Berichtswesen implementiert, das je nach Berichtsempfänger in unterschiedlichen Aggregationstiefen erstellt und verteilt wird. Ziel ist es, über die verfolgte Standardisierung in der internen Berichterstattung Abweichungsanalysen zu vereinfachen, Risiken im Berichtsprozess zu erkennen und strategische Entscheidungen zu ermöglichen.
Weitere zentrale Instrumente der Risikoüberwachung und -kontrolle sind die unternehmensweiten Richtlinien über den Umgang mit wesentlichen Risiken, der Planungs- und der Controlling-Prozesse, sowie die laufende Berichterstattung. Die Richtlinien umfassen die Festsetzung und Kontrolle von Limits, insbesondere in Bezug auf das finanzielle Volumen bezogen gestaffelte Freigabeerfordernisse bis hin zur obersten Vorstandsebene, und Handlungsabläufe zur Begrenzung finanzieller Risiken, z.B. die Analyse der finanziellen Stabilität von Lieferanten, sowie die strikte Vorgabe des Vier-Augen-Prinzips bei Rechnungs- und Zahlungsfreigaben.
Darüber hinaus basiert das interne Kontrollsystem auf präzisen Informationen über die Prozesse für die Rechnungslegung und Finanzberichterstattung und schließt auch deren vorgelagerte Unternehmensprozesse, z.B. Bestellanforderungen oder Logistikprozesse, mit ein. Die Wirksamkeit des internen Kontrollsystems wird vom Management dahingehend überprüft, dass die Ergebnisse, die in komprimierter Berichtsform an das Management übermittelt werden, von ihm analysiert, bewertet und kommentiert werden.
Vorstand und Prüfungsausschuss werden jährlich über die Einschätzung zur Wirksamkeit des internen Kontrollsystems in der Rechnungslegung unterrichtet. Bei wesentlichen Veränderungen der Wirksamkeit des internen Kontrollsystems erfolgt eine unverzügliche Berichterstattung an den Vorstand und gegebenenfalls an den Aufsichtsrat sowie eine Ergreifung adäquater Maßnahmen zur Erhöhung der Wirksamkeit.
Die PIERER Mobility AG begab im Juli 2015 Namensschuldverschreibungen in Höhe von TEUR 30.000, die am 17.07.2025 endfällig sind. Die Namenschuldverschreibungen wurden auf Grund des Sanierungsverfahrens bei KTM mit Schreiben vom 27.11.2024 mit sofortiger Wirkung von den Gläubigern außerordentlich gekündigt und die Rückzahlung bis 29.11.2024 gefordert. Die PIERER Mobility AG hat mit den Gläubigern vorerst einen Standstillvereinbarung bis 31.05.2025 vereinbart.
Die PIERER Mobility AG hat am 01.07.2024 eine Garantie für die Übernahme einer Zahlungsverpflichtung der PIERER New Mobility GmbH, Munderfing, bis zu einem Höchstbetrag von TEUR 360.000 (Vorjahr: TEUR 0) zuzüglich der vereinbarten Zinsen, Nebengebühren und Kosten an die KTM AG abgegeben. Aus dieser Verpflichtung wurden per 31.12.2024 TEUR 360.000 als Rückstellung eingebucht.
Die PIERER Mobility AG hat am 1.08.2024 gegenüber der Erste Group Bank AG als 100%ige Konzernmutter für direkte und indirekte Beteiligungen von ihr eine Zusage zur finanzielle Ausstattung im Zusammenhang mit dem ErsteConfirming Programm abgegeben, sodass diese ihre Verbindlichkeiten aus der Erste Confirming Geschäftsbeziehung fristgerecht erfüllen können.
Am 29. November 2024 beantragten die KTM AG und ihre Tochterunternehmen KTM Components GmbH und KTM Forschungs & Entwicklungs GmbH gerichtliche Sanierungsverfahren mit Eigenverwaltung. Der danach erarbeitete Sanierungsplan wurde am 25. Februar 2025 von den Gläubigern angenommen. Zur Finanzierung der vereinbarten Kassaquote von 30 %, die eine aufschiebende Bedingung für den erfolgreichen Abschluss der Sanierungsverfahren darstellte,konnten Finanzmittelim dreistelligen Millionenbereich aufgebracht werden. Die Bestätigung des Eintritts der Rechtskraft der Sanierungspläne wird für Mitte Juni 2025 erwartet. Nach Eintritt der Rechtskraft sind die Sanierungsverfahren beendet. Zur weiteren Erläuterung finanzieller Risiken aus den Sanierungsverfahren und der daraus resultierenden Darstellung im Einzelabschluss sei an dieser Stelle auf die ausführlicheren Erläuterungen im Anhang im Kapitel "Sanierungsverfahren mit Eigenverwaltung der KTM AG, der KTM Components GmbH sowie der KTM Forschungs & Entwicklungs GmbH" sowie "Ereignisse nach dem Bilanzstichtag" verwiesen.
In der Position Guthaben bei Kreditinstituten sind zum Abschlussstichtag keine Fremdwährungsvaluten oder Schecks enthalten. Fremdwährungskredite sind derzeit keine aushaftend. Ausfallsrisiken für den Bankguthabenbestand schalten wir aus, indem wir unsere Mittel nur bei Banken bester Bonität veranlagen und unseren Zahlungsverkehr nur über solche abwickeln.
Die Forderungen aus Lieferungen und Leistungen werden laufend überwacht. Für Lieferungen und Leistungen innerhalb der Gesellschaften der PIERER Gruppe bestehen laufend Gegenverrechnungen mit Gruppen- Verbindlichkeiten. Daher sind diese Forderungen nicht gesondert abgesichert.
Die Verbindlichkeiten aus Lieferungen und Leistungen notieren ausschließlich in Euro, daher ist kein Währungsrisiko gegeben, größere Beträge in Fremdwährung würden mittels Devisentermingeschäft abgesichert werden. In GJ 2024 waren keine Absicherungen erforderlich.
Das Liquiditätsrisiko bezeichnet das Risiko, sich jederzeit Finanzmittel beschaffen zu können, um eingegangene Verbindlichkeiten zu begleichen. Das Unternehmen begegnet diesem Risiko mit einem wöchentlichen Liquiditätsstatus.
Das Zinsänderungsrisiko stellt das Risiko dar, das sich aus der Wertänderung von Finanzinstrumenten, anderen Bilanzposten und/oder zinsbedingten Zahlungsströmen infolge von Marktzinssätzen ergibt. Ein Zinsänderungsrisiko besteht hinsichtlich der Finanzierungsvereinbarungen mit den Kreditinstituten. Aufgrund der aktuell abgeschlossenen Finanzierungsvereinbarungen besteht kein Zinsänderungsrisiko im Zusammenhang mit einer Anpassung der Marktzinssätze, da ein Fixzinssatz bis Ende der Laufzeit vereinbart wurde.
Die zukünftige Entwicklung der PIERER Mobility AG ist von mehreren entscheidenden Faktoren geprägt. Die Gesellschaft steht vor der Herausforderung, die wirtschaftlichen Auswirkungen des Sanierungsverfahrens (mit Eigenverwaltung) der größten Beteiligung KTM AG zu bewältigen. Dieses Ereignis hat zu einer Wertberichtigung der Finanzanlagen geführt, die ein negatives Ergebnis und entsprechendes negatives Eigenkapital im Geschäftsjahr 2024 nach sich zog. Um diese finanzielle Belastung auszugleichen, wurde durch die Pierer Bajaj AG ein nachrangiges Gesellschafterdarlehen in Höhe von TEUR 350.000 im Jahr2025 gewährt.
Die Planung des Managements zeigt eine positive Tendenz in den Folgejahren des Planungszeitraums, obwohl das Ergebnis am Ende der Planungsperiode weiterhin negativ bleibt. Der langfristige Fortbestand der PIERER Mobility AG hängt von der erfolgreichen Restrukturierung der KTM AG und der Fähigkeit ab,
Dividenden zu vereinnahmen oder Erlöse aus dem Verkauf von Beteiligungen zu erzielen.Es ist entscheidend, dass die geplanten Kapitalmaßnahmen, einschließlich einer Kapitalerhöhung und der Umwandlung von Fremdkapital in Eigenkapital, erfolgreich umgesetzt werden, um die finanzielle Stabilität der Gesellschaft zu sichern. Die Fortbestehensprognose basiert auf der Annahme, dass diese Maßnahmen rechtzeitig durchgeführt werden und die Restrukturierung der Tochtergesellschaften erfolgreich ist.
Die weitere Entwicklung der PIERER Mobility AG ist sehr stark abhängig von der Entwicklung der Tochtergesellschaft KTM AG.
Zumindest für das Geschäftsjahr 2025 erwartet die PIERER Mobility Gruppe ein weiterhin herausforderndes wirtschaftliches Umfeld. Dies äußert sich bereits in den erwarteten wirtschaftlichen Wachstumszahlen in den Kernmärkten Europa und den USA, wobei die Unsicherheiten hinsichtlich der aktuellen politischen Entwicklungen und auch der Verhängung von US-amerikanischen Einfuhrzöllen auf Produkte der Gruppe erheblich zugenommen haben. Zusätzlich zu den hohen Lohnabschlüssen und den Folgen der anhaltend erhöhten Inflationsraten wird erwartet, dass die Zinssätze im Wesentlichen auf dem bisherigen erhöhten Niveau verbleiben. In Summe betreffen die resultierenden Volatilitäten insbesondere die Umsatzerwartungen der Gruppe in den USA und Europa.
Die zukünftige Entwicklung der PIERER New Mobility GmbH ist durch mehrere strategische und finanzielle Maßnahmen geprägt. Im Jahr 2025 ist ein Eigenkapitalzuschuss durch die PIERER Mobility AG geplant, um das negative Eigenkapital zu kompensieren.
Die Situation in Bulgarien konnte durch den Verkauf der Immobilie sowie Rückführungen an das Joint Venture in Bulgarien zur Gänze getilgt werden. Als vorerst letzten Schritt in Bulgarien ist die Auflösung der Geschäftsbeziehung mit Maxcom geplant.
Die Gesellschaft plant, ihre Geschäftstätigkeit im Jahr 2025 durch den Lagerabverkauf zu beenden. Bis Ende 2027 werden Aufwendungen für den Betrieb des Kundenservice erwartet, um Gewährleistungsverpflichtungen zu erfüllen. Zahlungen aus einer Beteiligungsveräußerung sind bis 2030 vorgesehen.
Die Mitarbeiterzahl wird weiter sinken, sodass geplant ist nur mehr essentiell wichtige Mitarbeiter, insbesondere die Kundenservice Abteilung gemäß den gesetzlichen Vorgaben der Gewährleistung zu halten.
.
Im Jahresdurchschnitt beschäftigte die Gesellschaft keine (Vorjahr: 0) MitarbeiterInnen.
Aufgrund der Geschäftstätigkeit, der einer geschäftsleitenden Holdinggesellschaft, ist der Bereich Forschung nicht anwendbar.
Es gibt keine Zweigniederlassungen
Das Grundkapital beträgt EUR 33.796.535 und ist in 33.796.535 auf Inhaber lautende Stückaktien zerlegt. Jede Stückaktie gewährt den gleichen Anteil am Grundkapital und die gewöhnlichen Aktionärsrechte gemäß österreichischem Aktiengesetz. Dazu zählen das Recht auf die Auszahlung der in der Hauptversammlung beschlossenen Dividende und das Recht auf Ausübung des Stimmrechts in der Hauptversammlung. Sämtliche Aktien der PIERER Mobility AG sind seit dem 14. November 2016 an der SIX Swiss Exchange (SIX) im International Reporting Standard hauptkotiert (ISIN AT0000KTMI02). Seit dem 1. März 2022 sind die Aktien zusätzlich an der Wiener Börse (Amtlicher Handel) gelistet. Im Geschäftsjahr 2024 kam es zu keiner Änderung des Grundkapitals. Da die PIERER Mobility AG auch keine eigenen Aktien
erwarb oder veräußerte, hielt die Gesellschaft zum Stichtag 31. Dezember 2024 keine eigenen Aktien. Zwischen der Pierer Konzerngesellschaft mbH, der Pierer Industrie AG und der Pierer Bajaj AG einerseits (die "Pierer-Gruppe") sowie der Bajaj Auto Ltd. und Bajaj Auto International Holdings B.V. andererseits (die "Bajaj-Gruppe") besteht seit 29. September 2021 ein Syndikatsvertrag (der "Syndikatsvertrag 2021"). Dieser Vertrag regelt die Rechte und Pflichten der beiden Unternehmensgruppen in Bezug auf die Beteiligung der Pierer Industrie AG und der Bajaj Auto International Holdings B.V. an der Pierer Bajaj AG als Mehrheitsaktionärin der PIERER Mobility AG. Der Syndikatsvertrag 2021 sieht vor, dass eine etwaige Übertragung des Eigentums von Aktien der PIERER Mobility AG der Zustimmung der von Bajaj nominierten Aufsichtsratsmitglieder der Pierer Bajaj AG bedarf. Die Pierer Bajaj AG, die wirtschaftlich Herrn DI Stefan Pierer zuzurechnen ist, unterliegt somit in Bezug auf Aktien an der PIERER Mobility AG Veräußerungsbeschränkungen. Dem Vorstand sind keine weiteren Beschränkungen bekannt, die Stimmrechte oder die Übertragung von Aktien betreffen.
Nach Kenntnis der Gesellschaft bestand per 31. Dezember 2024 folgende Beteiligung am Kapital der PIERER Mobility AG, die zumindest 10 von Hundert betragen:
Pierer Bajaj AG: 74,94 % (direkte Beteiligung)

Dargestellt werden in einem ersten Schritt die Möglichkeiten, die zum Stichtag 31. Dezember 2024 aufrecht waren. Die Änderungen der genannten Instrumente nach dem Bilanzstichtag sind am Ende dieses Punktes beschrieben (siehe dazu auch das Kapitel zu den Ereignissen nach dem Bilanzstichtag):
Aufgrund der von der Hauptversammlung vom 29. April 2022 erteilten Ermächtigung und gleichzeitig beschlossenen Satzungsänderung enthält die Satzung der Gesellschaft als § 5 "Genehmigtes Kapital" folgende Bestimmung:
a) Der Vorstand ist gemäß § 169 AktG ermächtigt, bis 29.04.2027 mit Zustimmung des Aufsichtsrates das Grundkapital der Gesellschaft von EUR 33.796.535,00, allenfalls in mehreren Tranchen, gegen Bar- und/oder Sacheinlagen um bis zu EUR 16.898.267,00 durch Ausgabe von bis zu 16.898.267 Stück auf Inhaber lautende nennbetragslose Stückaktien auf bis zu EUR 50.694.802,00 zu erhöhen und den Ausgabebetrag sowie die Ausgabebedingungen und die weiteren Einzelheiten der Durchführung der Kapitalerhöhung im Einvernehmen mit dem Aufsichtsrat festzusetzen sowie allenfalls die neuen Aktien im Wege des mittelbaren Bezugsrechts gemäß §153 Abs 6 AktG den Aktionären zum Bezug anzubieten.
b) Der Vorstand wird ermächtigt,mit Zustimmung des Aufsichtsrates das Bezugsrecht der Aktionäre ganz oder teilweise auszuschließen,
(i) wenn die Kapitalerhöhung gegen Bareinlagen erfolgt und in Summe der rechnerisch auf die gegen Bareinlagen unter Ausschluss des Bezugsrechts ausgegebenen Aktien entfallende Anteil am Grundkapital der Gesellschaft die Grenze von 10 % des Grundkapitals der Gesellschaft zum Zeitpunkt der Einräumung nicht übersteigt,
c) Der Aufsichtsrat ist ermächtigt, Änderungen der Satzung, die sich durch die Ausgabe von Aktien aus dem genehmigten Kapital ergeben, zu beschließen.
Aufgrund des von der Hauptversammlung vom 21. April 2023 geschaffenen bedingten Kapitals und der dazu beschlossenen Satzungsänderung enthielt die Satzung der Gesellschaft zum Bilanzstichtag als § 5a "Bedingtes Kapital" folgende Bestimmung:
Das Grundkapital der Gesellschaft wird gemäß § 159 Abs 2 Z 1 AktG um bis zu EUR 4.375.000.000,00 durch Ausgabe von bis zu 4.375.000 auf Inhaber lautende Stammaktien ohne Nennwert (Stückaktien) zur Ausgabe an Gläubiger von Finanzinstrumenten gemäß § 174 AktG im Sinne des Hauptversammlungsbeschlusses vom 21.04.2023, die unter Ausnutzung der in dieser Hauptversammlung eingeräumten Ermächtigung von der Gesellschaft ausgegeben werden, erhöht. Die Kapitalerhöhung darf nur soweit durchgeführt werden, als die Gläubiger der Finanzinstrumente von ihrem Umtausch und/ oder Bezugsrecht auf Aktien der Gesellschaft Gebrauch machen. Der Ausgabebetrag und das Umtauschverhältnis sind nach Maßgabe anerkannter finanzmathematischer Methoden sowie des Aktienkurses in einem anerkannten Preisfindungs- verfahren zu ermitteln. Die neu ausgegebenen Aktien der bedingten Kapitalerhöhung sind im gleichen Maße wie die bereits bestehenden Aktien der Gesellschaft dividendenberechtigt. Der Vorstand ist ermächtigt mit Zustimmung des Aufsichtsrates die weiteren Einzelheiten der Durchführung der bedingten Kapitalerhöhung festzusetzen. Der Aufsichtsrat ist ermächtigt, Änderungen der Satzung, die sich durch die Ausgabe von Aktien aus dem bedingten Kapital ergeben, zu beschließen.
Die bedingte Kapitalerhöhung dient der Bedienung einer eventuell begebenen Wandelschuldverschreibung und darf ausdrücklich nur so weit durchgeführt werden, als Gläubiger von Wandelschuldverschreibungen von ihrem Umtausch- und / oder Bezugsrecht auf Aktien der Gesellschaft Gebrauch machen.
Diese bedingte Kapitalerhöhung dient zur Ausgabe von neuen Aktien an Gläubiger von Finanzinstrumenten gemäß § 174 AktG, die unter Ausnutzung der in der Hauptversammlung vom 21. April 2023 eingeräumten Ermächtigung von der Gesellschaft ausgegeben werden. Diese von der Hauptversammlung vom 21. April 2023 eingeräumte Ermächtigung Finanzinstrumente gemäß § 174 AktG auszugeben, wurde bisher nicht ausgenutzt. a) Der Vorstand ist gemäß § 65 Abs 1 Z 8 AktG für die Dauer von 30 Monaten ab dem Datum der
Von der Hauptversammlung vom 21. April 2023 wurden im Hinblick auf den Erwerb und die Veräußerung eigener Aktien zudem folgende Beschlüsse gefasst:
Beschlussfassung ermächtigt, eigene Aktien der Gesellschaft sowohl über die Börse als auch außerbörslich auch unter Ausschluss des quotenmäßigen Andienungsrechtes der Aktionäre zu erwerben und, ohne dass die Hauptversammlung vorher nochmals befasst werden muss, gegebenenfalls diese Aktien mit Zustimmung des Aufsichtsrates einzuziehen. Der Handel mit eigenen Aktien ist als Zweck des Erwerbs ausgeschlossen. Der Anteil der zu erwerbenden Aktien darf 10 % des Grundkapitals nicht übersteigen. Der Gegenwert pro zu erwerbender Stückaktie darf jeweils den durchschnittlichen ungewichteten Börseschlusskurs an der SIX Swiss Exchange der vergangenen 10 Handelstage um nicht mehr als 20 % unterschreiten oder übersteigen. Die Ermächtigung kann ganz oder teilweise oder auch in mehreren Teilbeträgen und in Verfolgung eines oder mehrerer Zwecke durch die Gesellschaft, mit ihr verbundenen Unternehmen oder für deren Rechnung durch Dritte ausgeübt werden. Der Aufsichtsrat ist ermächtigt, Änderungen der Satzung, die sich durch die Einziehung von Aktien ergeben, zu beschließen. b) Der Vorstand ist für die Dauer von fünf Jahren ab dem Datum der Beschlussfassung ermächtigt, mit
Zustimmung des Aufsichtsrats eigene Aktien auch auf andere Art als über die Börse oder durch ein öffentliches Angebot zu jedem gesetzlich zulässigen Zweck zu veräußern oder zu verwenden und hierbei auch das quotenmäßige Kaufrecht der Aktionäre auszuschließen (Ausschluss des Bezugsrechts) und die Veräußerungsbedingungen festzusetzen. Die Ermächtigung kann ganz oder teilweise oder auch in mehreren Teilbeträgen und in Verfolgung eines oder mehrerer Zwecke ausgeübt werden.
Nach dem Bilanzstichtag kam es zu wesentlichen Änderungen der Möglichkeiten, Aktien auszugeben oder zurückzukaufen:
Die PIERER Mobility-Gruppe befindet sich in einer angespannten wirtschaftlichen Lage. Insbesondere auf der Ebene der KTM AG ist kurzfristig eine Kapitalzufuhr zur Erfüllung der Quote im Sanierungsplan erforderlich. Die Aufnahme von Fremd- und Eigenkapital stellt somit eine Schlüsselherausforderung der PIERER Mobility AG dar, um ihre wesentliche Tochtergesellschaft, die KTM AG, unterstützend mit Kapital auszustatten.
Die in der Hauptversammlung vom 21. April 2023 beschlossene bedingte Kapitalerhöhung (Bedingtes Kapital 2023) wurde daher in der außerordentlichen Hauptversammlung am 27. Jänner 2025 widerrufen und eine neue Ermächtigung sowie ein neues Bedingtes Kapital 2025, das künftig 50 % des aktuellen Grundkapitals der Gesellschaft entsprechen soll, beschlossen. Dadurch wurde dem Vorstand die notwendige Flexibilität gegeben, um kurzfristig auf Finanzierungs- und / oder Liquiditätsanforderungen der PIERER Mobility-Gruppe reagieren zu können.
Die außerordentliche Hauptversammlung beschloss am 27. Jänner 2025 hinsichtlich des Ausschlusses des Bezugsrechts Folgendes (zu Tagesordnungspunkt 2):
a) Die Hauptversammlung widerruft die in der ordentlichen Hauptversammlung vom 21. April 2023 beschlossene Ermächtigung des Vorstands mit Zustimmung des Aufsichtsrats bis zum 21. April 2028 Finanzinstrumente im Sinne von § 174 AktG auszugeben.
b) Der Vorstand wird ermächtigt, mit Zustimmung des Aufsichtsrates bis 27.Jänner 2030 Finanzinstrumente im Sinne des § 174 AktG, insbesondere Wandelschuldverschreibungen, Gewinnschuldverschreibungen und Genussrechte, mit einem Gesamtnennbetrag von bis zu EUR 900.000.000,00 die auch das Bezugs- und/oder das Umtauschrecht auf den Erwerb von insgesamt bis zu 16.898.267 Aktien der Gesellschaft einräumen können und / oder auch so ausgestaltet sind, dass ihr Ausweis als Eigenkapital erfolgen kann, auch in mehreren Tranchen und in unterschiedlicher Kombination, auszugeben, und zwar auch mittelbarim Wege der Garantie für die Emission von Finanzinstrumenten durch ein verbundenes Unternehmen der Gesellschaft mit Umtausch- und / oder Bezugsrechten auf Aktien der Gesellschaft.

Wir haben den Jahresabschluss der PIERER Mobility AG, Wels, bestehend aus der Bilanz zum 31. Dezember 2024, der Gewinn- und Verlustrechnung für das an diesem Stichtag endende Geschäftsjahr sowie dem Anhang, geprüft.
Nach unserer Beurteilung entspricht der beigefügte Jahresabschluss den gesetzlichen Vorschriften und vermittelt ein möglichst getreues Bild der Vermögens- und Finanzlage zum 31. Dezember 2024 sowie der Ertragslage der Gesellschaft für das an diesem Stichtag endende Geschäftsjahr in Übereinstimmung mit den österreichischen unternehmensrechtlichen Vorschriften.
Wir haben unsere Abschlussprüfung in Übereinstimmung mit der Verordnung (EU) Nr. 537/2014 (im Folgenden EU-VO) und mit den österreichischen Grundsätzen ordnungsmäßiger Abschlussprüfung durchgeführt. Diese Grundsätze erfordern die Anwendung der International Standards on Auditing (ISA). Unsere Verantwortlichkeiten nach diesen Vorschriften und Standards sind im Abschnitt "Verantwortlichkeiten des Abschlussprüfers für die Prüfung des Jahresabschlusses" unseres Bestätigungsvermerks weitergehend beschrieben. Wir sind von der Gesellschaft unabhängig in Übereinstimmung mit den österreichischen unternehmensrechtlichen und berufsrechtlichen Vorschriften und wir haben unsere sonstigen beruflichen Pflichten in Übereinstimmung mit diesen Anforderungen erfüllt. Wir sind der Auffassung, dass die von uns bis zum Datum des Bestätigungsvermerks erlangten Prüfungsnachweise ausreichend und geeignet sind, um als Grundlage für unser Prüfungsurteil zu diesem Datum zu dienen.
Die KTM AG sowie zwei weitere Tochterunternehmen befanden sich zum Bilanzstichtag am 31. Dezember 2024 in einem Sanierungsverfahren mit Eigenverwaltung iSd österreichischen Insolvenzordnung. Der Erlag des Erfordernisses für die 30-%ige Barquote und die Verfahrenskosten beim Sanierungsverwalter erfolgte am 22. Mai 2025. Unter Berücksichtigung der Rekursfrist werden die Insolvenzgläubiger die zur vollständigen Befriedigung ihrer Forderungen erforderliche 30-%ige Barquote voraussichtlich binnen 14 Tagen erhalten. Der Vorstand schätzt die Wahrscheinlichkeit eines erfolgreichen Rekurses als gering ein, dennoch bleibt das Ergebnis außerhalb der Kontrolle der Gesellschaft. Im Fall eines erfolgreichen
Rekurses könnte es zu wesentlichen Änderungen der Restrukturierungsbedingungen kommen, wodurch sich auch Anpassungen des Jahresabschlusses ergeben können.
Darüber hinaus basiert die Annahme der Unternehmensfortführung auf einer Fortbestehensprognose, deren Umsetzung von endogenen und exogenen Faktoren abhängt, die teilweise außerhalb der Kontrolle der Gesellschaft liegen, und deren Entwicklung bedeutsam für die Erfüllung der Fortbestehensprognose ist. Dazu zählen unter anderem die makroökonomische Volatilität und die Einhaltung von mit Kapitalgebern vereinbarten Bedingungen.
Diese Umstände stellen wesentliche Unsicherheiten in Bezug auf die Unternehmensfortführung dar. Zu den diesbezüglichen Ausführungen des Vorstands verweisen wir auf die Abschnitte "Annahme zur Unternehmensfortführung der PIERER Mobility AG", "Annahme zur Unternehmensfortführung der Tochtergesellschaften" und "negatives Eigenkapital, Eigenkapital" im Anhang des Jahresabschlusses.
Der Vorstand kam bei seiner Evaluierung zu dem Schluss, dass die Annahme der Unternehmensfortführung als überwiegend wahrscheinlich anzusehen ist.
Unser Bestätigungsvermerk ist in Bezug auf diese Umstände nicht modifiziert.
Besonders wichtige Prüfungssachverhalte sind solche Sachverhalte, die nach unserem pflichtgemäßen Ermessen am bedeutsamsten für unsere Prüfung des Jahresabschlusses des Geschäftsjahres waren. Diese Sachverhalte wurden im Zusammenhang mit unserer Prüfung des Jahresabschlusses als Ganzes und bei der Bildung unseres Prüfungsurteils hierzu berücksichtigt, und wir geben kein gesondertes Prüfungsurteil zu diesen Sachverhalten ab.
Zusätzlich zu dem in Abschnitt "Wesentliche Unsicherheiten in Bezug auf die Unternehmensfortführung" beschriebenen Sachverhalt haben wir unten beschriebenen Sachverhalt bestimmt, der als besonders wichtiger Prüfungssachverhalt in unserem Bestätigungsvermerk zu kommunizieren ist.
Im Geschäftsjahr 2024 hat die Gesellschaft Anhaltspunkte für eine Wertminderung der Anteile an verbundenen Unternehmen identifiziert und jeweils den beizulegenden Wert ermittelt. Auf dieser Basis wurde ein Wertminderungsaufwand in Höhe von MEUR 1.672 in der Gewinn- und Verlustrechnung erfasst.
Wir verweisen auf die Angaben im Anhang unter Bilanzierungs- und Bewertungsmethoden "Finanzanlagen" sowie Erläuterungen der Bilanz und der Gewinn- und Verlustrechnung "Aufwendungen aus Finanzanlagen".
Die Bewertung des beizulegenden Werts von Finanzanlagevermögen erfordert Annahmen und Schätzungen, wie beispielsweise die Schätzung der künftigen Einzahlungsüberschüsse sowie die Festlegung des anzuwendenden Diskontierungszinssatzes. Daher haben wir die Werthaltigkeit der Anteile an verbundenen Unternehmen als besonders wichtigen Prüfungssachverhalt bestimmt
Wir haben die vom Unternehmen erstellten Werthaltigkeitstests unter Einbeziehung unserer Bewertungsspezialisten wie folgt beurteilt:
Der Jahresabschluss zum 31. Dezember 2023 der Gesellschaft wurde von einem anderen Abschlussprüfer geprüft, der am 14. März 2024 einen uneingeschränkten Bestätigungsvermerk zu diesem Jahresabschluss erteilt hat.
Die gesetzlichen Vertreter sind verantwortlich für die Aufstellung des Jahresabschlusses und dafür, dass dieser in Übereinstimmung mit den österreichischen unternehmensrechtlichen Vorschriften ein möglichst getreues Bild der Vermögens-, Finanz- und Ertragslage der Gesellschaft vermittelt. Ferner sind die gesetzlichen Vertreter verantwortlich für die internen Kontrollen, die sie als notwendig erachten, um die Aufstellung eines Jahresabschlusses zu ermöglichen, der frei von wesentlichen falschen Darstellungen aufgrund von dolosen Handlungen oder Irrtümern ist.
Bei der Aufstellung des Jahresabschlusses sind die gesetzlichen Vertreter dafür verantwortlich, die Fähigkeit der Gesellschaft zur Fortführung der Unternehmenstätigkeit zu beurteilen, Sachverhalte im Zusammenhang mit der Fortführung der Unternehmenstätigkeit – sofern einschlägig – anzugeben, sowie dafür, den Rechnungslegungsgrundsatz der Fortführung der Unternehmenstätigkeit anzuwenden, es sei denn, die gesetzlichen Vertreter beabsichtigen, entweder die Gesellschaft zu liquidieren oder die Unternehmenstätigkeit einzustellen, oder haben keine realistische Alternative dazu.
Der Prüfungsausschuss ist verantwortlich für die Überwachung des Rechnungslegungsprozesses der Gesellschaft.
Unsere Ziele sind, hinreichende Sicherheit darüber zu erlangen, ob der Jahresabschluss als Ganzes frei von wesentlichen falschen Darstellungen aufgrund von dolosen Handlungen oder Irrtümern ist, und einen Bestätigungsvermerk zu erteilen, der unser Prüfungsurteil beinhaltet. Hinreichende Sicherheit ist ein hohes Maß an Sicherheit, aber keine Garantie dafür, dass eine in Übereinstimmung mit der EU-VO und mit den österreichischen Grundsätzen ordnungsmäßiger Abschlussprüfung, die die Anwendung der ISA erfordern, durchgeführte Abschlussprüfung eine wesentliche falsche Darstellung, falls eine solche vorliegt, stets aufdeckt. Falsche Darstellungen können aus dolosen Handlungen oder Irrtümern resultieren und werden als wesentlich angesehen, wenn von ihnen einzeln oder insgesamt vernünftigerweise erwartet werden könnte, dass sie die auf der Grundlage dieses Jahresabschlusses getroffenen wirtschaftlichen Entscheidungen von Nutzern beeinflussen.
Als Teil einer Abschlussprüfung in Übereinstimmung mit der EU-VO und mit den österreichischen Grundsätzen ordnungsmäßiger Abschlussprüfung, die die Anwendung der ISA erfordern, üben wir während der gesamten Abschlussprüfung pflichtgemäßes Ermessen aus und bewahren eine kritische Grundhaltung.
Darüber hinaus gilt:
Wir tauschen uns mit dem Prüfungsausschuss unter anderem über den geplanten Umfang und die geplante zeitliche Einteilung der Abschlussprüfung sowie über bedeutsame Prüfungsfeststellungen, einschließlich etwaiger bedeutsamer Mängel im internen Kontrollsystem, die wir während unserer Abschlussprüfung erkennen, aus.
Wir geben dem Prüfungsausschuss auch eine Erklärung ab, dass wir die relevanten beruflichen Verhaltensanforderungen zur Unabhängigkeit eingehalten haben, und tauschen uns mit ihm über alle Beziehungen und sonstigen Sachverhalte aus, von denen vernünftigerweise angenommen werden kann, dass sie sich auf unsere Unabhängigkeit und – sofern einschlägig – auf vorgenommene Handlungen zur Beseitigung von Gefährdungen oder angewandte Schutzmaßnahmen auswirken.
Wir bestimmen von den Sachverhalten, über die wir uns mit dem Prüfungsausschuss ausgetauscht haben, diejenigen Sachverhalte, die am bedeutsamsten für die Prüfung des Jahresabschlusses des Geschäftsjahres waren und daher die besonders wichtigen Prüfungssachverhalte sind. Wir beschreiben diese Sachverhalte in unserem Bestätigungsvermerk, es sei denn, Gesetze oder andere Rechtsvorschriften schließen die öffentliche Angabe des Sachverhalts aus oder wir bestimmen in äußerst seltenen Fällen, dass ein Sachverhalt nicht in unserem Bestätigungsvermerk mitgeteilt werden sollte, weil vernünftigerweise erwartet wird, dass die negativen Folgen einer solchen Mitteilung deren Vorteile für das öffentliche Interesse übersteigen würden.
Der Lagebericht ist aufgrund der österreichischen unternehmensrechtlichen Vorschriften darauf zu prüfen, ob er mit dem Jahresabschluss in Einklang steht und ob er nach den geltenden rechtlichen Anforderungen aufgestellt wurde.
Die gesetzlichen Vertreter der Gesellschaft sind verantwortlich für die Aufstellung des Lageberichts in Übereinstimmung mit den österreichischen unternehmensrechtlichen Vorschriften.
Wir haben unsere Prüfung in Übereinstimmung mit den Berufsgrundsätzen zur Prüfung des Lageberichts durchgeführt.
Nach unserer Beurteilung ist der Lagebericht nach den geltenden rechtlichen Anforderungen aufgestellt worden, enthält zutreffende Angaben nach § 243a UGB und steht in Einklang mit dem Jahresabschluss.
Angesichts der bei der Prüfung des Jahresabschlusses gewonnenen Erkenntnisse und des gewonnenen Verständnisses über die Gesellschaft und ihr Umfeld wurden wesentliche fehlerhafte Angaben im Lagebericht nicht festgestellt.
Hinsichtlich der wesentlichen Unsicherheiten in Bezug auf die Unternehmensfortführung verweisen wir auf die Abschnitte "Lage der Gesellschaft" und "Situation und Status des Sanierungsverfahrens wesentlicher Tochtergesellschaften" sowie "Risikobericht" im Lagebericht, die die Analyse der Lage der Gesellschaft beschreiben. Weiters verweisen wir auf den Abschnitt "Voraussichtliche Entwicklung der Gesellschaft" im Lagebericht, der auf die voraussichtliche Entwicklung der Gesellschaft eingeht.
Wir wurden von der Hauptversammlung am 19. April 2024 als Abschlussprüfer für das am 31. Dezember 2024 endende Geschäftsjahr gewählt und am 1. Juli 2024 vom Aufsichtsrat mit der Durchführung der Abschlussprüfung beauftragt. Wir sind seit dem am 31. Dezember 2024 endenden Geschäftsjahr Abschlussprüfer der Gesellschaft.
Wir erklären, dass das Prüfungsurteil im Abschnitt "Bericht zum Jahresabschluss" mit dem zusätzlichen Bericht an den Prüfungsausschuss nach Art 11 der EU-VO in Einklang steht.
Wir erklären, dass wir keine verbotenen Nichtprüfungsleistungen (Art 5 Abs 1 der EU-VO) erbracht haben und dass wir bei der Durchführung der Abschlussprüfung unsere Unabhängigkeit von der geprüften Gesellschaft gewahrt haben.
Der für die Abschlussprüfung auftragsverantwortliche Wirtschaftsprüfer ist Dr. Matthias Kunsch.
