Banqup Group SA, formerly known as Unifiedpost Group SA (see note 5.3), (the "Company") is a leading SaaS company providing a complete technology portfolio of integrated business combinations solutions built on documents, identity and payments. Banqup Group SA is a limited liability company with its registered office at Avenue Reine Astrid 92, 1310 La Hulpe. The interim consolidated financial statements of Banqup Group SA for the six-month period ended 30 June 2025 (the "Interim Consolidated Financial Statements") comprise Banqup Group SA and its subsidiaries, together "the Group".
These unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements were mandated for issue by the Board of Directors on 21 August 2025.
These Interim Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group for the six-month period ended 30 June 2025 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. As they are only intended to provide an update of the last complete set of Annual Financial Statements, these Interim Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group should be read in conjunction with the 2024 Financial Statements.
The accounting policies applied in the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for the six-month period ended 30 June 2025 are consistent with those used to prepare the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2024, except for the adoption of new and amended IFRS Accounting Standards as set out below.
The Group has not early adopted any other Standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.
▪ Amendments to IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates: Lack of Exchangeability
These amendments do not have a significant impact on the Group's financial statements.
▪ Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity (applicable for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026)
The impact of these standards and interpretations are still being investigated and therefore the impact on the (Interim) Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group is not yet known.
All "currency" values are rounded to the nearest thousands in these Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, except where otherwise indicated.
On 17 December 2024, Banqup completed successfully the divestment of the Access Wholesale Identity Business in the Netherlands.
This transaction involved the sale of all shares in Unifiedpost BV and the paid consideration was set at the closing date at € 108,4 million. Additionally, Banqup negotiated a potential earn-out up to € 7,8 million contingent upon achieving a defined financial milestone.
On 30 April 2025, Banqup signed an agreement for a final earn-out of € 6,6 million for completion of the full transaction, with the effective payment date as of 6 May 2025.
Further financial data related to this transaction is disclosed in note 5.6.1.
On 29 April 2025, Banqup Group sold its 51% share interest in Technobiro d.o.o. in Serbia to the minority shareholder for € 100 thousand. Before closing in March 2025, a total dividend amounting to RSD 62,0 million (or € 529 thousand) was distributed to the shareholders, corresponding to their respective ownership in Technobiro d.o.o., based upon the accumulated result of the years 2017 until 2023.
Further financial data related to this transaction is disclosed in note 5.6.1.
The transaction, announced on 5 July 2024, whereby Banqup entered into an agreement with PostNord Stralfors AB to transfer ownership of all shares in the 21 Grams group, has now been finalised 5 June 2025, following the fulfilment of all required conditions, including clearance from the Swedish Competition Authority received on 30 May 2025.
The sale was completed for an initial cash consideration of SEK 158,7 million (or € 14,5 million), calculated on a cash- and debt-free basis, reflecting an enterprise value of SEK 200 million. The final purchase price remains subject to customary post-closing adjustments, including a review of 21 Grams' closing accounts. Of the total consideration a portion of SEK 23,8 million (or € 2.138 thousand) remains in escrow for a term of nine months (i.e. until March 2026), and intercompany receivables of SEK 48,4 million (or € 4,4 million) between Banqup and 21 Grams were additionally settled as part of this transaction.
As previously highlighted, Banqup Group and PostNord Stralfors have also entered into a five-year exclusive strategic partnership. This collaboration covers the distribution of the Banqup product in the Nordic region, as well as a EU roaming agreement whereby PostNord Stralfors will leverage Banqup's platform to deliver e-invoices for Nordic corporate clients abroad, while Banqup will benefit from PostNord Stralfors' network for transaction distribution within the Nordics.
Further financial data related to this transaction is disclosed in notes 5.6.1 and 5.6.2.
On 11 August 2025, Banqup Group sold the shares of Pdocholco Ltd to its Managing Director, after receiving a LOI (Letter Of Intent) in April 2025. As part of this transaction, a strategic partnership has been signed as well whereby the UK print business will become an authorised reseller of Banqup's products.
During the Board in May 2025, it was confirmed that Banqup Group intends to dispose also its print business in Belgium, for which a LOI from a potential buyer was received and approved in July 2025.
Management has applied judgement in assessing whether certain operations and assets meet the criteria under IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. A component is classified as discontinued operation if it represents a separate major line of business or geographical area and is either held for sale or has been disposed of. Non-current assets or disposal groups are classified as held for sale if they are available for immediate sale and the sale is highly probable within 12 months. During the year, the Board of directors committed to sell the Paper divisions in Belgium and UK, which met these criteria. Accordingly, related assets and liabilities are presented as held for sale, and results shown as discontinued operations. Comparative figures have been restated where applicable. Further financial data is disclosed in note 5.6.2 and 5.6.3.
During the Extraordinary General Meeting held on 20 May 2025, it was decided to strategically rebrand Unifiedpost Group SA to Banqup Group SA across the Group. This change further underpins the focus of Banqup Group on its core digital services and aligns its business as a pure-play SaaS provider. It offers all stakeholders a clear understanding of the Banqup product and value proposition, reinforcing the commitment to grow in e-invoicing and payment solutions.
Chrystèle Dumont started in Q2 2025 as Chief Revenue Officer ("CRO"). She will lead Banqup's revenue strategy and drive customer acquisition throughout partnerships, with a clear focus on operational preparedness for European geographies with upcoming regulatory requirements (Benelux, France and Germany).
Banqup Group SA has applied the same accounting policies and methods of computation in its Interim Consolidated Financial Statements as in its 2024 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements, except for the amendments stated above, which apply for the first time in 2025.
The consolidated statement of financial position and the consolidated income statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the six-month period ended 30 June 2024 have been restated as a result of following event:
In the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for the six-month period ended 30 June 2024 published last year, the result of the 21 Grams group was taken up on a separate line "Profit / (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax".
In these current Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for the six-month period per 30 June 2025, the comparative consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for June 2024 has been restated to present also the activities related to (i) the Wholesale Identity Access Business in the Netherlands, (ii) the print business in the United Kingdom, and (iii) the print business in Belgium as "Profit / (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax".
We refer to notes 5.3 and 5.6 for more detailed information on these discontinued operations.
The preparation of Interim Consolidated Financial Statements in compliance with adopted IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions regarding the future. It also requires Group management to exercise judgment in applying the Group's accounting policies. The accounting estimates and judgements are continuously evaluated based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In the future, actual experience may differ from these estimates and assumptions.
The estimation of uncertainties that are important for the presentation of the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements have not changed compared to those summarised in the Consolidated Financial Statements per 31 December 2024, except as mentioned below.
The accompanying Interim Consolidated Financial Statements of Banqup have been prepared on the basis of going concern which assumes that Banqup has sufficient funds available to continue its operations in the normal course of business for a period of at least twelve months after the date these Interim Consolidated Financial Statements are approved.
Banqup has incurred net losses from its continued activities and significant cash outflows over the past years, as it has been investing significantly in the development of its document processing and payment application as well as in the roll-out of these products in its Pan-European structure. During the current reporting period, the Company incurred a consolidated net loss from continued activities of € 19,2 million. Furthermore, the Company reported (i) usage of cash flows from operating activities of € 5,6 million, (ii) positive cash flows from investing activities of € 14,9 million and (iii) negative cash flows from financing activities of € 5,4 million. At 30 June 2025, the Company has an accumulated deficit of € 190,7 million but a positive total equity balance of € 125,6 million.
Per 30 June 2025, Banqup has a net financial debt of € 24,7 million (see note 5.13.2), and cash and cash equivalents of € 17,1 million (including restricted cash for a total amount of € 0,7 million) supported by the access to a short-term factoring line of € 10 million, of which only € 1,4 million was used at 30 June 2025. The usage of the line is directly linked to the business performance and the growth of Banqup activities.
Management prepared a forecast for the second half of 2025 and a growth plan for the first half of 2026 and assumes further growth of the business, improved contributions and margins, combined with measures around cost control and business activation. These assumptions are supported by the fact that the mandatory character of e-invoicing in two key markets Belgium and France is respectively set at 1 January 2026 and 1 September 2026. Furthermore, the Company is actively exploring or working on divestments to streamline the Group's operations and to refocus on core business activities (digital SaaS deals). These steps are taken, to ensure that the funds available in the Company and, including any undrawn portion of the factoring line, are sufficient to meet the Company's cash flow needs for a period of at least twelve months after the date these Interim Consolidated Financial Statements are approved. The forecast also considers the covenants linked to the Francisco Partner loan that include currently a minimum required liquidity of € 12,5 million. The Company faces a risk that the currently agreed covenants may not be met at upcoming assessment points. Management is actively negotiating the restructuring of its existing debt position to mitigate the risk of a potential covenant breach.
Management recognises that a material uncertainty about the Company's going concern continues to exist due to uncertainties in realising the forecast for the next twelve months that are depending on (i) the speed and degree of adaptation of the Banqup product line in the market, (ii) the successful continuation of a cost saving plan and/or business activation plans, and (iii) the successful realisation at a fair price of the divestments of business activities. Management is confident that deviations from the budgeted cash flow can to some extent be mitigated by additional cost control measures on top of these that have already been taken. This approach enables management to absorb budget uncertainty and deviations from the budget with no or minimal impact on cash flow. By managing budget uncertainty in this way, management can effectively address any challenges related to the Company's going concern status and covenants linked to Francisco Partners' funding.
The following accounting estimates potentially have a significant impact on the carrying value of assets and liabilities within the next twelve months:
In the context of future business plans used for the impairment testing, the Group has made assumptions to build future modelling for the Banqup product suite, where Banqup could not or limitedly rely on experience. These assumptions were multiple: (i) period of mandatory character of e-billing per country inspired in the current legislative context, (ii) the expected monthly penetration rate of our product in the market per country, (iii) a target conversion rate from freemium user into paying user, and (iv) the sales channels to enter the market as different channels have and will have a different cost structure. This type of modelling is used for the Banqup products in the cash generating units Digital document processing and Payment. Under the weighted average scenario, the Digital Document Processing business retained 75% of the base case revenue assumptions, while the Payment business retained 85% of the base case revenue assumptions. The Group acknowledges that in one or more countries, it may not realise its ambitions and for other countries, the Group can attract more customers than foreseen in the modelling. The presence and
current accessible network of SMEs in different countries is decreasing the risk which is inherent to such a model.
In the context of impairment, the current assumptions on the risk profile of the Group impacting the calculation of the weighted cost of capital may change due to (i) changing financial market circumstances, such as increasing market risk premium or country specific risk premiums or sector specific risk premiums (out of the Group's control), (ii) attracting additional funding to support going concern of the Group, and (iii) growing inherent risk profile of the Group by not meeting its budget targets. In such a case, the weighted cost of capital will further increase with a negative impact on the value in use, which could lead to additional impairment at year-end 2025.
The applied weighted cost of capital is computed considering risk free interest rates, market risk premiums, country risk premiums and small-cap risk premiums reported in financial reports from highly reputable financial analyst firms and considering a weighted cost of debt currently applicable for the Group, whereby the underlying data for those parameters was collected mainly in July 2025.
The impact of an increasing weighted cost of capital on our impairment testing is further commented on and explained in the disclosure note on impairment testing (see note 5.8). For the cash generating unit Digital document processing, representing the most significant part of our carrying value, missing our growth target by 0,43% over the next five years or lowering our gross margin by 0,78% or increase of discount rate by 0,36% would result in a value in use that equals the carrying value.
The carrying amounts tested during the impairment exercise and the applied discount rates are presented in note 5.8. We note that the current market capitalisation of the Company values in a range between € 135 million and € 145 million compared to a value in use of € 164 million.
Preliminary judgement and estimates are made in the context of final cash consideration inflows, as well as the related transaction costs regarding the assets held for sale (see note 5.8). For the divestments, the closing procedures stipulate specific clauses on price adjustment formulas to adjust the price from enterprise value to equity value at the foreseen lockbox date. Estimates were made, based on the most recent available financial statements of the activities related to the assets and liabilities held for sale as well as estimates relating to the cost of transaction. These estimates impact the result of the foreseen divestments as presented in the reporting period.
No additional information, compared to what has been reported in the Annual Report 2024, needs to be taken up as estimation of uncertainty requested by IAS 1.112c in order to understand the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.
The following information on significant judgement is relevant to understanding these Interim Consolidated Financial Statements:
▪ Both print businesses in the United Kingdom and in Belgium were judged as significant business activities and qualified as discontinued operations in accordance with IFRS 5.
In the first six months of 2025, following changes in the consolidation scope occurred:
| Share at | Share at | ||

| Technobiro d.o.o. | 29/04/2025 | 51% | - |
As already explained in note 5.3, the sale of all shares in the 21 Grams group to PostNord Stralfors AB was finalised on 5 June 2025, following approval from the Swedish Competition Authority, received on 30 May 2025.
The associated assets and liabilities are deconsolidated from the June 2025 interim consolidated statement of financial position. And while six months are taken up in the interim consolidated statement of profit and loss for the six-month period ended 30 June 2024, only 5 months (i.e. until 31 May 2025) are taken up for the six-month period ended 30 June 2025 as the timing difference (5 June 2025 compared to 31 May 2025) is considered not to be significant.
A loss is recognised in 2025 amounting to € 4,2 million, mainly related to the release of the historical CTA (Cumulative Translation Adjustment) reserve.
On 29 April 2025, Banqup Group sold its 51% share interest in Technobiro d.o.o. as explained in note 5.3.
The associated assets and liabilities are deconsolidated from the June 2025 interim consolidated statement of financial position. And while six months are taken up in the interim consolidated statement of profit and loss for the six-month period ended 30 June 2024, only 4 months (i.e. until 30 April 2025) are taken up for the six-month period ended 30 June 2025 as the timing difference (29 April 2025 compared to 30 April 2025) has minimal to no impact.
Related to this divestment, a total gain of € 36 thousand was processed per 30 June 2025, as a consequence of the derecognition of the carrying value of (i) the relevant net assets per 29 April 2025 for an amount of € 285 thousand, and (ii) the relevant non-controlling interests amounting to € 221 thousand.
As already highlighted in note 5.3, the divestment of the Access Wholesale Identity business included a potential earn-out of € 7,8 million. In April 2025, the final earn-out was agreed at € 6,6 million. The € 1,2 million variance compared to the maximum amount has been recognised in the statement of profit and loss for the discontinued operations for the six months ended 30 June 2025 within the reporting line "Loss realised upon losing control over subsidiaries".
In the tables below, the impact of losing control over subsidiaries is presented on the interim consolidated income statement and financial position per 30 June 2025.

| Total consideration received | 23.727 |
As disclosed in the 2024 Annual Report, both the divestment of 21 Grams and the sale of the Access Wholesale Identity business qualified as discontinued operations under IFRS 5.
In the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements per 30 June 2024, only 21 Grams was presented as a discontinued operation. Consequently, the comparable figures for the six-month period ended 30 June 2024 in these Interim Consolidated Financial Statements have been restated to also present the result of the Access Wholesale Identity business as discontinued operation, in line with IFRS 5.
Furthermore, Banqup's management has classified the print activities in the UK and Belgium as a disposal group. As they collectively represent a major line of business, they are also treated as discontinued operations under IFRS 5. Accordingly, the comparative figures for the six-month period ended 30 June 2024 have been restated to reflect their results as discontinued operations.
The tables below provide a summarised view of the income statement, including comparative figures, as well as the cash flow statement.

The goodwill related to the print businesses in the UK and Belgium amounted to € 5.892 thousand. Through analysis of the fair value less costs to sell off the disposal groups, the goodwill related to the print business in the UK was re-measured at € 0 per 30 June 2025. The remaining goodwill taken up in the assets held for sale for an amount of € 2.183 thousand concerns solely the print business in Belgium.
Important to note that only revenue from continuing operations has been taken up in this note.

(*) The comparative figures for the six-month period ended 30 June 2024 have been restated to reflect the restatement of the profit and loss related to the discontinued operations in accordance with IFRS 5 as explained in notes 5.4 and 5.6.2.
Banqup's primary sales focus is on expanding digital subscription revenue. Digital subscription revenue increased by 10,9% year-on-year. However, since the 2024 figures still include subscription revenue from the divested FitekIn/Onea business, the organic year-on-year growth is at 20,6% (subscription revenue for H1 2024, excluding the sold FitekIn/Onea activities, amounted to € 6.113 thousand.). Within the digital services revenue by type, the Transactions, Managed services and Licenses activities are showing a quite stable trend (slightly negative).
Traditional communication services revenue continued to decline as expected (-32,1%), reflecting the ongoing shift towards digital solutions and lower managed services volumes.

(*) The comparative figures for the six-month period ended 30 June 2024 have been restated to reflect the restatement of the profit and loss related to the discontinued operations in accordance with IFRS 5 as explained in notes 5.4 and 5.6.2.
IAS 36 states that an entity shall assess at the end of each reporting period whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If such an indication exists, the entity shall estimate the recoverable amount of the asset.
Management has identified following indicators that could give rise to impairment and consequently has reassessed the carrying values at 30 June 2025 based on the extensive exercise prepared at year-end of the financial year 2024:
Reference should be made to note 5.12 'Goodwill and impairment testing' in chapter 'Financial Statements of the Annual Report 2024 of Banqup Group where the definition of the cash generating units ("CGUs") are disclosed and the followed approach explained.
We further note that, following the application of IFRS 5 and the judgment that the print business in the United Kingdom and the print business in Belgium qualify as assets held for sale, the Group no longer recognises a carrying value for the CGU Paper processing. Consequently, no further impairment testing of these amounts was required.

The carrying amount of goodwill is summarised below:
The carrying amount of goodwill is expressed in local currency and yearly foreign exchange differences will occur for goodwill originally expressed in other currencies than the euro.
The carrying values included in the impairment testing at 30 June 2025 are presented in the below table:

| Total | 130.442 | 19.455 | 149.897 |
The applied weighted cost of capital ("WACC") for June 2025 and December 2024 are:
| In % | CGU_DDP | CGU_PAY |
|---|---|---|
| WACC pre tax June 2025 | 16,24% | 17,89% |
| WACC pre tax December 2024 | 16,18% | 18,48% |
In general, it is noted that the WACC has been on a downward trend, given that interest rates have decreased over the past year and this has a direct impact on risk premiums. Furthermore, the assessment of the risk-free interest rate and the risk premium was based solely on the evolution of the rates applying for the Western European countries, rather than on Europe as a whole, given that the business is primarily active and expected to continue developing in the Western European market. This approach ensures that the applied premiums more accurately reflect the market coverage of the business. The WACC for the CGU Payment decreased by 0,59% from 18,48% to 17,89%.
The impairment testing was performed on the same model as used in the testing at year-end 2024. The actual figures as per 30 June 2025 are included in the exercise as well as the forecast for 31 December 2025. Furthermore, the assets held for sale and the discontinued operations have been excluded from the exercise.

The total capital of Banqup Group on 30 June 2025 remains € 329.238 thousand and is represented by 37.131.654 shares without mention of nominal value.
At the end of 2024, the total number of subscription rights to subscribe to unissued shares with voting rights amounted to (i) 3.500 subscription rights under the 2015 Warrant Plan, and (ii) 500.000 subscription rights under the Warrant Plan 2021. At the end of June 2025, 293.000 subscription rights from the Warrant Plan 2021 have been granted to key staff of Banqup and those allocated subscription rights will be vested in stages, for the first time in December 2025.

The following table discloses the carrying amount of the Group's financial instruments in categories:

(*) Financial assets measured at amortised cost.
(**) Financial assets at fair value through P&L.
(***) Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost.
(****) Financial liabilities at fair value through OCI.
Trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents as well as trade and other payables have short terms to maturity, hence their carrying amounts are considered the same as their fair values.
For the majority of the borrowings, the fair values are not materially different from their carrying amounts, because interest payable on those borrowings is either close to current market rates or the loans were taken recently.
For the Francisco Partners loan the annual IRR of 14,01% reflects a historical fair value market rate, which implies that the value is in line with the current fair value of the loan considering the terms and condition of the facility.
IFRS recognises the following hierarchy of fair value measurements:
The Group's financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value were measured as follows:
| Thousands of Euro | Level 3 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Note | At 30 June 2025 | At 31 December 2024 | |
| Liabilities associated with puttable non-controlling interests | |||
| Put option – joint-ventures Serbia | 3.230 | 3.230 | |
| Put option – joint-venture Croatia | 750 | 750 | |
| Total liabilities associated with puttable non-controlling interests | 3.980 | 3.980 | |
| Other loans | |||
| Contingent consideration – Unifiedpost Solutions d.o.o. (HR) | - | 400 | |
| Total other loans | - | 400 |
The quantitative information of significant unobservable inputs used in level 3 fair value measurement of the liability associated with puttable non-controlling interests of Unifiedpost Solutions d.o.o. in Serbia can be summarised as follows:
The Group is exposed to a variety of financial risks. The Board has overall responsibility for the determination of the Group's risk management objectives and policies, and whilst retaining ultimate responsibility for them, it has delegated the authority for designing and operating processes that ensure the effective implementation of the objectives and policies to the Group's management.
The overall objective of the Board is to set policies that seek to reduce risks as far as possible without unduly affecting the Group's competitiveness and flexibility.
Compared to 31 December 2024, the policies of Banqup relating to credit risk as well as liquidity risk and their application have remained unchanged.
The Group's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group's ability to continue as a going concern to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
The Group monitors capital based on the following gearing ratio: Net financial debt divided by Total 'equity', as calculated below at each reporting date:
| Thousands of Euro At 30 June At 31 December |
|||
|---|---|---|---|
| Note | 2025 | 2024 | |
| Net financial debt / (cash) | |||
| (Cash and cash equivalents) | 5.10 | (17.060) | (14.525) |
| Bank borrowings - subordinated loan | 800 | 1.200 | |
| Bank borrowings - other | 2.648 | 3.587 | |
| Other loans – FP | 29.026 | 27.471 | |
| Other loans – Valitax | 1.752 | 1.732 | |
| Other loans – contingent consideration | - | 400 | |
| Lease liabilities | 7.594 | 9.608 | |
| Net financial debt / (cash) | 24.760 | 29.473 | |
| Net debt / (cash) (i.e. excl. subordinated loan) | 23.960 | 28.273 |
| 'Equity' | ||
|---|---|---|
| Reported shareholders' equity | 125.586 | 148.258 |
| 'Equity' | 125.586 | 148.258 |
| Gearing ratio (Net financial debt / equity) | 19,7% | 19,9% |
The gearing ratio in 2025 was broadly unchanged compared to the previous year. This reflects both a reduction in financial debt and a decline in reported shareholders' equity. Financial debt decreased mainly because (i) lease liabilities linked to the UK and Belgian print businesses were reclassified to liabilities related to assets held for sale, and (ii) available cash increased following the sale of 21 Grams and the collection of the earn out from the sale of the Wholesale Identity business in the Netherlands. Shareholders' equity decreased due to the loss recorded for the period.
Under the terms of the loan facility of Francisco Partners, Banqup remains subject to two financial covenants, as detailed in the Annual Report 2024. Per 30 June 2025, the Group was not in breach, considering that the financial figures from the discontinued operations are still included in the calculation.
Important to note is that the decline in the last-twelve-month subscription revenue, due to the realisation of divestments, could trigger a covenant check requiring the minimum cash level to be reset at € 20,0 million. Achieving this threshold would only be feasible through the collection of additional proceeds from divestments.
Under the terms of the 'Other bank loans' in Serbia, agreed with ProCredit Banka, the Group is also subject to specific covenants, as explained in the Annual Financial Statements 2024. No changes are to be reported compared to 31 December 2024.
The Group does not have any significant commitments or contingencies, other than purchase order commitments in the context of its operational activities, or than described elsewhere in these financial statements.
The following events took place after the reporting date and could have a future impact on the financial reporting.
As explained in note 5.3 already, Banqup Group completed the sale of 100% of the shares in PDOCHOLCO Ltd, its UK print business, to the Managing Director on 11 August 2025. As part of the transaction, a strategic partnership has been signed whereby the UK print business will become an authorised reseller of Banqup products.
Banqup Group received a LOI from a potential buyer for its print business in Belgium., which it has accepted on July 22,2025. The due diligence process is planned to start in the second half of August.
Compared to the Consolidated Financial Statements per 31 December 2024, no other changes took place in 2025 than the ones already discussed in note 5.6.

CEO Banqup Group SA

We have reviewed the accompanying interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position of Banqup Group SA as of 30 June 2025 and the related interim consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity for the six-month period then ended, as well as the explanatory notes. The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting", as adopted by the European Union. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these condensed consolidated interim financial statements based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting", as adopted by the European Union.
We draw attention to Note 5.5.1 of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements which describes the events and conditions indicating that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.
