Delayed audit and final outcome

Unqualified audit opinion received

▪ As published in our ad-hoc release on August 5, BKHT received an unqualified audit opinion from its auditor KPMG

Validation of key metrics

▪ KPMG's audit confirmed our preliminary key performance metrics (group revenue and adjusted EBITDA) as published in early March, with only very minor deviations

Single notable deviation: non-cash impairments

  • The only significant deviation identified through extended audit procedures was related to non-cash impairments (as published on July 16)
  • These are fully reflected in:
    • o The consolidated financial statements and
    • o The standalone financial statements of BKHT

Postponement of the 2024 financial statement publication

Audit timeline controlled by auditor

  • BKHT supported the audit process fully, utilizing both internal resources and external advisors
  • Despite our best efforts to expedite the process, the audit timeline was largely determined by the auditors

Extension of audit scope

  • KPMG flagged a transaction at a foreign subsidiary of IHSE requiring further investigation
  • This led to a significant expansion of the audit scope not just for IHSE, but for the entire BKHT Group

Internal measures and transparency

  • The audit committee promptly initiated an internal investigation to clarify the matter
  • The transaction in question (~€2.2 million) was excluded from preliminary group revenue figures
  • Final audited figures closely aligned with those published on March 7, confirming transparency and conservative reporting

Non-cash impairments in the 2024 financial statements

Goodwill of the Security Technologies segment (IHSE)

  • Previously valued at €80 million, was impaired by €40 million to €40 million
  • Intangible assets recognized during the acquisitions of IHSE and kvm-tec (PPA assets) were impaired by €8 million

2024 statutory annual financial statements (IHSE)

  • Shares in IHSE reported under financial assets were impaired from €96 million by €45 million to €51 million
  • Main reason for this impairment was the weaker than expected performance of IHSE

Bikeleasing impairment

  • Due to the weaker than expected development of the German bicycle market last year, we had to let an external auditor compile an updated valuation opinion on Bikelesing
  • Upvalued shares were impaired from €70 million by €23 million to €47 million (still well above entry valuation of €22 million from end of 2021)

Bikeleasing – Operational deep dive

Record fiscal year for Bikeleasing in terms of financial KPIs

Corporate customers increased to ~72,000 (+21% YoY) with 3.7 million connected employees (+12% YoY)

~139,000 bikes facilitated in 2024, reflecting a YoY decline, yet resulting in a higher market share (in EUR terms), as the overall German bike market contracted

Development 2024: German bike market (in € billion bikes sold)

Development 2024: Bikeleasing (in € million bikes sold)

Transformation of Bikeleasing from single- to multi-product initiated

•"Bikeleasing evolves from a leasing provider to a digital HR benefit platform ecosystem"

TAM: ~€25 billion1
TAM: ~€6 billion1
TAM: ~€4 billion1

Through the acquisition of Probonio and the launch of Bike2Future, Bikeleasing evolves from a pure-play brokerage platform to a digital HR benefit ecosystem

Three synergistic business lines:

  • Company bike leasing via Bikeleasing.de
  • Multi-benefit software via Probonio
  • Used bike platform via Bike2Future

Platform approach enables deeper integration with corporate benefit programs and drives long-term client retention, as well as expanding the TAM more than sixfold from ~€4 billion to ~€25 billion

Unlocking the used bike market

  • At lease end, ~93% of users (employees) purchase their leased bike; ~7% return to Bikeleasing
  • Returned bikes also stem from early lease terminations (e.g. employees leaving), triggering insurance claims
  • To improve monetization of an increasing number of returning bikes, Bike2Future was founded to remarket these bikes through physical stores and online B2C/B2B channels
  • While short-term margins are affected by retail price pressure, B2C channels offer attractive mid-term margin potential

Building the digital backbone for HR benefit management

  • Probonio acquisition (April 2024) – strategic rationale:
    • o Expand breadth of employee benefits for corporate clients
    • o Reduce admin cost for our customers by digitizing and automating the benefit administration
    • o Ease internationalization of the combined multi-benefit offering
  • Platform build-out ongoing across product, tech & go-to-market:
    • o Relaunched brand of Probonio
    • o Increased sales & marketing organization
    • o Continuous rollout of new employee benefits
    • o Deepened technical integration with Bikeleasing platform
  • First upselling activities launched in late August 2024, resulting in a near doubling of corporate customers:

IHSE – Operational deep dive

Revenue declined YoY, even though the underlying base revenue (excluding the ~€8 million one-off in 2023) remained broadly stable

Stable revenue development in EMEA and strong growth in APAC (despite ongoing decoupling tendencies from China)

Several medium-sized projects that were originally expected for 2024 were postponed to 2025 – increasing backlog, but lowering recognized revenue in 2024

(€ million)

IHSE – Operational deep dive

As a result of identified irregularities relating to incorrect revenue recognition for a project in one of IHSE's international subsidiaries, the management was reorganized

1. Frank Breitenfelder was appointed as Managing Director / CFO to strengthen governance and financial oversight

  • 2. Dr. Enno Littmann, long-standing CEO and current Chairman of the Board, has temporarily rejoined the operational management to support stability and continuity
  • 3. The managing director of the affected international subsidiary was replaced with a long-serving IHSE team member

These measures aim to ensure continuity of operations and reinforce IHSE's internal control systems
