Interim group management report

for the half-year ended June 30, 2024

1. Overview

In H1 2024, Nagarro continued to push forward against the prolonged global economic challenges. Our long-term focus on superior client experience driven by differentiated ways of working drove client stickiness and loyalty even in a slow demand environment for digital specialists.

Nagarro's H1 2024 YoY revenue growth over H1 2023 was 6.3\% in constant currency, and 5.7\% in Euro terms. In Q2 2024, revenue grew $7.6 \%$ YoY in both constant currency and Euro terms. Organic YoY revenue growth for the quarter was 3.6\% in constant currency, which translated to 4.0\% organic YoY revenue growth in Euro terms. Compared to Q1 2024, revenue grew 2.1\% QoQ in constant currency, and 2.5\% QoQ in Euro terms. The number of clients generating over 1 million Euro in revenue in the trailing twelve months was 184 on June 30, 2024 compared to 168 a year ago.

Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue was 16.4\% in Q1 2024 and 14.5\% in Q2 2024, with a resulting H1 2024 number of $15.5 \%$. Adjusted EBITDA was weighed down by a significant amount of excess capacity in software development, as the expected demand recovery was delayed again.

The company had a net reduction of 145 professionals in Q1 2024 and a net increase of 33 professionals in Q2 2024, ending the H1 2024 with 18,301 professionals.

2. General economic and industry conditions

The economic environment remained subdued in H1 2024. Political uncertainty in the US and Europe was added to the existing global worries around geopolitics, inflation and supply chain challenges. There was no significant improvement in the demand environment for IT services during the half-year.

3. Financial performance

Gross profit is calculated on the basis of total performance which is sum of revenue and own work capitalized. Cost of revenues is the total direct costs needed to service the revenue. It includes direct costs related to colleagues (employees and freelancers) allocated to the performance of customer services regardless of whether the colleagues are actually performing customer services during a given period of time, costs related to travel of these colleagues, cost of licenses and other, smaller, reimbursable and non-reimbursable cost components. The gross margin is calculated as the difference between the total performance and the cost of revenues, expressed as a percentage of the revenue. From Q1 2024, Nagarro has revised the detailed definition of cost of revenues to align it better with that of other IT services companies. As per the new method, the cost of management of the Global Business Units (GBUs), cost of consultative sales within the GBUs, and the cost of thought leadership in the Centres of Excellence (COEs) and in practices within the GBUs, have been reclassified from cost of revenues to sales and marketing, general and administrative cost. For our 2024 reporting, we will provide the gross profit and margin based on both the new method and the previous method to allow better comparison with the 2023 numbers which were reported via the previous method.

Nagarro's revenues grew to $€ 482.4$ million in H1 2024 from $€ 456.4$ million in H1 2023, a growth of 5.7\%. In constant currency, H1 2024 YoY revenue growth was 6.3\%. Gross profit grew to $€ 146.9$ million (as per the current method) and $€ 126.3$ million (as per the previous method) in H1 2024 from $€ 118.9$ million (as per the previous method) in H1 2023. Gross margin was 26.2\% (as per the previous method) in H1 2024 compared to 26.1\% in H1 2023 and was 30.5\% in H1 2024 as per the current method. Adjusted EBITDA increased by $€ 14.3$ million from $€ 60.3$ million ( $13.2 \%$ of revenue) in H1 2023 to $€ 74.7$ million ( $15.5 \%$ of revenue) in H1 2024. Our net adjustments to EBITDA in H1 2024 amount to $€ 5.9$ million (H1 2023: $€ 2.2$ million) and the most significant adjustments are the expense on earnouts of $€ 2.2$ million (H1 2023: $€ 0.0$ million) and retention bonus of $€ 1.7$ million (H1 2023: $€ 0.0$ million) from past acquisitions, and the expense on employee stock options and the Employee Share Purchase Program of $€ 1.7$ million (H1 2023: $€ 1.4$ million). Please note that gross margin, gross profit and Adjusted EBITDA are non-IFRS KPIs, as defined in the Annual Report 2023.

EBITDA increased by $€ 10.7$ million from $€ 58.1$ million in H1 2023 to $€ 68.8$ million in H1 2024. EBIT increased by $€ 7.1$ million from $€ 42.6$ million in H1 2023 to $€ 49.7$ million in H1 2024. Net profit increased by $€ 2.0$ million from $€ 26.6$ million in H1 2023 to $€ 28.6$ million in H1 2024. Further, compared to H1 2023, in H1 2024 there was an increase in interest expense of $€ 2.5$ million and an increase of $€ 3.6$ million in depreciation and amortization.

In the geographical revenue distribution, in H1 2024 Nagarro generated 35.8\% of its revenue from North America (H1 2023:36.6\%), 28.5\% of its revenue from Central Europe (H1 2023:27.7\%), 23.3\% of its revenue from Rest of World (H1 2023: 22.0\%) and $12.3 \%$ of its revenue from Rest of Europe (H1 2023:13.7\%).

Revenue from Rest of World grew the fastest, by $11.8 \%$ to $€ 112.3$ million in H1 2024 from $€ 100.4$ million in H1 2023. Revenue from Central Europe grew by $8.9 \%$ to $€ 137.6$ million in H1 2024 from $€ 126.4$ million in H1 2023. Revenue from North America grew by $3.4 \%$ to $€ 172.9$ million in H1 2024 from $€ 167.2$ million in H1 2023. Revenue from Rest of Europe dropped by $4.5 \%$ to $€ 59.6$ million in H1 2024 from $€ 62.3$ million in H1 2023.

Revenue from Germany grew 12.9\% to $€ 105.2$ million in H1 2024 from $€ 93.2$ million in H1 2023, while that from the USA grew $3.7 \%$ to $€ 170.0$ million in H1 2024 from $€ 163.8$ million in H1 2023.

Nagarro operates across a variety of industries. The focus on consumer experience underlies the digital transformation of almost every industry, while the data and AI technology used for this also cuts across industries. Innovation occurs increasingly often at the overlaps of the traditional industry definitions. Yet, each industry also requires specialized knowledge, and we have been investing in developing such specialized knowledge in industry after industry.

Industries with robust growth in H1 2024 over H1 2023 included "Public, Non-profit, Education" (17.6\%), "Automotive, Manufacturing and Industrial" (11.0\%),"Retail and CPG" (9.0\%),"Energy, Utilities and Building Automation" (6.7\%), and "Telecom, Media and Entertainment" (6.2\%).

Industries with negative growth in H1 2024 over H1 2023 were "Management Consulting and Business Information" (-8.8\%), and "Financial Services and Insurance" (-0.1\%).

The revenue from our top 5 clients as a percentage of total revenue in H1 2024 declined to $14.1 \%$ in H1 2024 from $14.3 \%$ in H1 2023. The revenue from the next 5 largest clients grew to $9.7 \%$ in H1 2024 from $9.4 \%$ in H1 2023, while the revenue from clients outside the top 10 was steady at $76.2 \%$ in H1 2024 compared to $76.3 \%$ in H1 2023.

4. Financial position as at the balance sheet date

img-2.jpeg

The basic principles of financial management at Nagarro are financial prudence and stability, ensuring a reasonable profitability and assuring adequate liquidity, even as the company grows via calculated entrepreneurial bets. The Finance Council works to ensure we have the right capital structure in place, that we are managing cash and liquidity carefully, and that we are managing financial risks such as currency risks with the appropriate instruments.

We target a balanced debt-to-equity ratio that preserves flexibility for the company, allowing it to react to business opportunities and to changes in macroeconomic conditions. Nagarro's syndicated loan also incorporates covenants on the ratio of net debt to Adjusted EBITDA, which the company monitors and complies with.

The company's liquidity position at the end of H1 2024 was comfortable. The current assets were $€ 392.7$ million, of which cash was $€ 121.4$ million. The current liabilities were $€ 155.8$ million, yielding a working capital of $€ 236.9$ million.

Total assets grew by $€ 40.7$ million to $€ 720.6$ million as of June 30, 2024, as against $€ 679.9$ million as of December 31, 2023. Of these, non-current assets increased by $€ 2.1$ million to $€ 327.9$ million as of June 30, 2024, as against $€ 325.9$ million as of December 31, 2023. Within non-current assets, goodwill grew by $€ 5.3$ million on account of currency differences, offset by decrease in right of use assets from leases by $€ 2.0$ million to $€ 45.7$ million (mainly due to depreciation of $€ 11.9$ million offset by net addition of $€ 9.9$ million), and decrease in Intangible assets by $€ 1.4$ million to $€ 25.1$ million (mainly due to currency differences and amortisation). Current assets grew by $€ 38.7$ million to $€ 392.7$ million as of June 30, 2024, as against $€ 354.0$ million as of December 31, 2023. Within current assets, contract assets, trade receivables, other current financial assets and other current assets together increased by $€ 18.7$ million (primarily due to increase in trade receivables and contract assets by $€ 32.5$ million mainly due to increase in Q2 2024 revenues over Q4 2023 by approx. 10\%, increase in receivables from certain public sector customers and reduction in the factoring utilization by $€ 6.2$ million). Income tax receivables increased by $€ 8.6$ million to $€ 23.0$ million due to advance tax payments in H1 2024. Further, cash balance increased by $€ 11.3$ million to $€ 121.4$ million as of June 30, 2024 from $€ 110.1$ million as of December 31, 2023.

Total liabilities grew by $€ 2.3$ million to $€ 501.0$ million as of June 30, 2024, as against $€ 498.7$ million as of December 31, 2023. Non-current liabilities have increased by $€ 14.8$ million to $€ 345.2$ million as of June 30, 2024, as against $€ 330.4$ million as of December 31, 2023 mainly on account of net addition of non-current loans of $€ 10.3$ million for payment of acquisition liabilities. Current liabilities have decreased by $€ 12.5$ million to $€ 155.8$ million as of June 30, 2024, as against $€ 168.3$ million as of December

31, 2023 primarily due to payment of acquisition liabilities of $€ 8.7$ million, payment of net trade payables of $€ 5.7$ million and net other financial liabilities of $€ 5.2$ million, offset by increase in income tax liabilities by $€ 11.4$ million.

Net assets represented by total equity grew by $€ 38.4$ million from $€ 181.1$ million as of December 31, 2023, to $€ 219.5$ million as of June 30, 2024. The increase is due to increase in total comprehensive income of $€ 36.8$ million and increase in capital reserves by $€ 1.7$ million (mainly from issuance of stock options under SOP 2020/II, SOP 2020/III and ESPP).

Our total cash inflow was $€ 8.8$ million in H1 2024 against cash outflow of $€ 16.2$ million in H1 2023. Cash flows for H1 2023 are presented in the same format as the full year financials for financial year 2023.

Our operating cash flow increased by $€ 12.2$ million from $€ 15.4$ million in H1 2023 to $€ 27.6$ million in H1 2024 mainly because of the increase in EBITDA by $€ 10.7$ million from $€ 58.1$ million in H1 2023 to $€ 68.8$ million in H1 2024 while other factors contributing to the operating cashflow had a cancelling effect on each other. Further, we were able to reduce the utilization of funds under the factoring program by $€ 7.3$ million during H1 2024. Operating cash flow adjusted for changes in factoring (including interest on factored amounts) was $€ 34.9$ million in H1 2024 as compared to $€ 26.9$ million in H1 2023.

Days of sales outstanding, calculated based on the quarterly revenue and including both contract assets and trade receivables, has increased from 84 days on December 31, 2023 to 87 days on June 30, 2024. This also reflects the reduction of factoring volume.

The cash outflow from investing activities in H1 2024 was $€ 5.1$ million, mainly due to the payment of acquisition obligations of $€ 8.7$ million to meet contractual payment obligations from older acquisitions (primarily ATCS: $€ 6.5$ million, Telesis: $€ 1.0$ million and RipeConcepts: $€ 0.9$ million), offset by the maturity of a long term fixed deposit of $€ 4.5$ million. The cash outflow from investing activities in H1 2023 was $€ 50.4$ million.

The cash outflow from financing activities in H1 2024 was $€ 13.7$ million as compared to cash inflow of $€ 18.8$ million in H1 2023. Cash inflow in H1 2024 was primarily from bank loans of $€ 11.0$ million (mainly for payment of acquisition obligations). This was offset by cash outflow from lease payments of $€ 11.9$ million, interest payment of $€ 9.0$ million, and repayment of bank loans of $€ 3.7$ million.

5. Non-financial KPIs

Our single key non-financial KPI is our client satisfaction (CSAT) score, measured via a standardized client satisfaction (CSAT) survey. This survey is sent every quarter to the person responsible for project success on the client side. The CSAT does not cover very small engagements and at any point in time, may also not cover engagements via companies that recently became part of Nagarro. Despite these caveats, the CSAT results are very central to our management system and often form the most important basis for variable pay to project leadership.

Our CSAT score was 91.8\% in Q1 2024 (Q1 2023: 92.0\%) and 91.9\% in Q2 2024 (Q2 2023: 92.6\%) resulting in an H1 2024 score of $91.9 \%$ (H1 2023: 92.3\%). We expect this KPI to remain in the region of $92 \%$ in 2024.

Further, we use the concept of Net Promoter Score (NPS) in our client satisfaction survey as an additional performance indicator. The NPS question posed in the survey is: "On a scale of 1-10, how likely are you to recommend Nagarro to a friend or colleague?" Promoters are those who give a score of 9 or 10, Passives are those who give a score of 7 or 8 , and Detractors are those who respond with a score below 7. The NPS score is calculated as (number of Promoters - number of Detractors)*100/(total number of NPS responses). Nagarro's NPS score in the Q1 2024 survey was 66 (Q1 2023: 60) and in the Q2 2024 survey was 62 (Q2 2023: 63) resulting in an H1 2024 score of 64 (H1 2023: 62). This is an excellent score, indicating a high level of client satisfaction with Nagarro's services.

On June 30, 2024, Nagarro had 18,301 professionals of which 16,772 were professionals in engineering. The comparable numbers for June 30, 2023 were 19,682 and 18,200 and for December 31, 2023 were 18,413 and 16,934, respectively. Note that even non-engineers, such as designers, contributing to our engineering efforts are included in professionals in engineering.

6. Outlook for 2024

We have no guidance update. Early in the year, Nagarro had projected revenue for 2024 to be in the region of $€ 1$ billion, as against $€ 912$ million in 2023 . We had targeted gross margin in the region of $31 \%$ (as per the current method) and $27 \%$ (as per the previous method), which is higher than the gross margin in 2023 ( $25.8 \%$ as per the previous method). We had targeted Adjusted EBITDA margin to be in the region of $14 \%$ in 2024, as against $13.8 \%$ in 2023 . Potential acquisitions in 2024 were not included in these projections.

Our key non-financial KPI is our client satisfaction (CSAT) score. Our CSAT score for 2023 was 92.7\%. We expect the CSAT score for 2024 to continue to be in the region of $92 \%$.

The alternative performance measures in these management projections have been consistently estimated with the accounting principles applied in the consolidated financial statements and described in the Annual Report 2023. All of the above management projections are forecasts and may prove to be wrong and are especially uncertain because of the multidimensional and unpredictable effects of the global economic situation.

7. Risks and opportunities

In the Annual Report 2023, we have described our approach to risk management, as well as key risk and opportunity factors. In this section, we present only the relevant changes and new developments. Since the publishing of the Annual Report, we see a continued weakness in the demand for IT services in certain verticals.

On the positive side, we believe that the medium-term outlook for digital specialists like Nagarro is strong. Nagarro's agile-by-design approach and Fluidic Enterprise innovation methodology are perfectly suited to helping clients drive digital transformation and company-wide AI adoption at a fast rate. We see the opportunity with AI to move Nagarro up the value chain and make us more strategic in every client engagement, which can eventually drive revenue and margin growth.

Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements

A. Basis of preparation

1. Reporting entity

Nagarro SE (the "Company") is a company domiciled in Germany. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements ("interim financial statements") as at and for the six months ended June 30, 2024 comprise of the company and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Group" or Nagarro). Nagarro SE's registered office is Baierbrunner Str. 15, 81379 Munich, Germany. It is registered with the commercial register of the District Court of Munich under commercial register sheet number HRB 254410. Nagarro's bouquet of specialized services includes digital product engineering, digital commerce and customer experience, Big Data and AI services, new-gen ERP consulting and managed services. Nagarro is listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.

2. Basis of accounting

These interim financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2024 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2023 ("last annual financial statements"), which were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as endorsed by the European Union (EU), and the supplementary requirements of $\$ 315$ e (1) of the German Commercial Code (HGB). They do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS accounting standards. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of changes in the Group's financial position and performance since the last annual financial statements.

The interim financial statements also comply with German Accounting Standard No. 16 (GAS 16) - Interim Financial Reporting -issued by the German Accounting Standards Committee e. V. (GASC).

The interim financial statements are presented in euros. Amounts are stated in thousands of euros (kEUR), except where otherwise indicated. Rounding differences may arise when individual amounts or percentages are added together.

The interim financial statements of Nagarro SE for the half-year ended June 30, 2024, have neither been reviewed by an auditor nor have been audited according to section 115 (5) WpHG (German Securities Trading Act) and were authorized for issuance in accordance with the resolution of the Management Board on August 13, 2024.

3. Use of judgements and estimates

In preparing the interim financial statements according to IFRS, management has made discretionary decisions, estimates and assumptions. These may affect the amount and presentation of assets and liabilities recognized in the balance sheet, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the reporting date, as well as disclosed income and expenses for the reporting period. Actual amounts may vary from these estimates and assumptions; changes can have a significant impact on the interim financial statements.

The significant judgements made by management in applying Nagarro's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those described in the last annual financial statements.

In the opinion of the management, the interim financial statements reflect all accounting entries (in other words, normal recurring entries) necessary for a fair presentation of Nagarro's financial position and performance. Results presented for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected in future periods or for the full financial year.

Measurement of fair values

A number of Nagarro's accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities.

Nagarro has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. Nagarro regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. If third party information, is used to measure fair values, then Nagarro assesses the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that these valuations meet the requirements of IFRS, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which the valuations should be classified.

Fair values are categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:

Level 1
Prices for identical assets and liabilities are used that are available in active markets.
Level 2
Other measurement factors are used for an asset or a liability that can be observed directly or indirectly, or that can be derived from market prices.

Level 3
Measurement factors are used that are not based on observable market data.

When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, Nagarro uses observable market data as far as possible. If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.

Nagarro recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.

Further information about the assumptions made in measuring fair values is included in Note C. 6 Financial instruments.

B. General accounting principles

1. Accounting policies, new standards, interpretations and amendments adopted by the Group

The accounting policies applied in these interim financial statements are the same as applied in Nagarro's consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2023. The policy for recognizing and measuring income taxes in the interim period is consistent with that applied for the previous interim period and is described in Note D. 6 Income taxes.

The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

2. Basis of consolidation

The interim financial statements as at June 30, 2024 include all the subsidiaries of the Group as mentioned in the consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2023.

b. Measurement of fair value

i. Valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs

The following table shows the valuation techniques used in Level 2 and Level 3 fair value for financial instruments in the interim consolidated statement of financial position, as well as the significant unobservable inputs used.

Type Valuation technique Significant observable inputs Inter-relationship between unobservable inputs and fair value measurement
Security deposit Discounted cash flow method - The valuation model considers the present value of expected payments, discounted using riskadjusted discount rate Risk-adjusted discount rate (31 December 2023: 5.1\% - 7.5\%) The estimated fair value would increase (decrease) if the risk-adjusted discount rate was higher (lower)
Forward foreign exchange contracts Marked to market values of derivative instruments as received from the banks Not applicable Not applicable
Contingent consideration-acquisition liabilities Discounted cash flow method - The valuation model considers the present value of expected payments, discounted using riskadjusted discount rate (i) Expected contribution margin / EBITDA relevant to earn-out
(ii) Foreign currency rate
(iii) Risk-adjusted discount rate (31 December 2023: 22.5\% - 32.3\%)
The estimated fair value would increase (decrease) if:
(i) the expected contribution margin / EBITDA relevant to earn-out was higher (lower)
(ii) the foreign currency rate was higher (lower)
(iii) the risk-adjusted discount rate was higher (lower)

ii. Transfers between levels 1 and 2

6. Income taxes

Income tax expense

Income tax expense is recognized at an amount determined by multiplying the profit before tax for the interim reporting period by management's best estimate of the weighted-average annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year, adjusted for the tax effect of certain items recognized in full in the interim period. As such, the effective tax rate in the interim financial statements may differ from management's estimate of the effective tax rate for the annual consolidated financial statements.

Global minimum top-up tax

Pillar Two legislation has been enacted or substantively enacted in certain jurisdictions in which Nagarro operates and the legislation is effective for Nagarro's financial year beginning January 1, 2024. Nagarro is currently assessing the accounting implications and the jurisdictions that could give rise to additional taxation as a result of the BEPS Pillar Two regulations in national laws, which is not expected to be material for Nagarro. Based on initial assessment regarding applicability of BEPS Pillar Two regulations, Nagarro expects to be subject to the top-up tax in relation to its operations in the United Arab Emirates ('UAE') and Singapore where the effective tax rate is below $15 \%$.

Considering the deferred BEPS Pillar Two implementation timeline announced by the UAE and Singapore, the profits of these entities would be subject to top-up tax in the country of Ultimate Parent Entity i.e. Nagarro SE, Germany. As Germany has implemented the law incorporating Income Inclusion Rule ('IIR'), the top-up tax will be computed and paid by Nagarro SE to the German revenue authority (BZSt - Federal Central Tax Office). Due to the complexities in applying the legislation and calculating Global Anti-Base Erosion Rules (GloBE) income, the quantitative impact of the enacted or substantively enacted legislation is not yet reasonably estimable.

7. Earnings per share (EPS)

Earnings per share is calculated as follows:

The expected life of the stock options is based on historical data and current expectations and is not necessarily indicative of exercise patterns that may occur.

The expected volatility reflects the assumption that historical volatility over a period similar to the life of the options is indicative of future trends, which may not necessarily be the actual outcome.

Since no options of the company are traded on derivative exchanges, the expected volatility cannot be determined from the implied volatilities of traded options of Nagarro SE. Historical share prices for the newly listed Nagarro SE were not available at the time of valuation of Tranche 1 in 2021. Also, not sufficient time after listing had elapsed at the time of valuation of Tranche 2 (a) and Tranche 2(b) in 2023. Therefore, the historical volatility based on price movements of comparable listed companies (peer group) in the past is used as an estimate for the expected volatility. Based on this peer group and with an average exercise period of seven years, Nagarro SE has a historical volatility of $34.27 \%$ for Tranche 1; $37.90 \%$ for Tranche 2 (a) and $37.80 \%$ for Tranche 2 (b).

The movement of the stock options plans are as follows:

2024 2023
Number of stock options Weighted average exercise price (EUR) Number of stock options Weighted average exercise price (EUR)

The Stock Option Plans exercise price ranges from EUR 91.55 to EUR 110.08 per stock option.

Employee Share Participation Program

On January 16, 2023, Nagarro rolled out the MyN (My Nagarro) program, an Employee Share Participation Program ("ESPP"), globally for every Nagarrian wherein for every multiple of 3 shares purchased and held by the employees ("investment shares") for 3 years (while staying a Nagarrian), 1 free matching share will be given by Nagarro. The program had two offering windows in 2023 and one offering window in the first half of 2024 with an annual maximum contribution of Eur 2,500 per employee, for all employees, and a higher contribution limit offered by exception in certain special cases.

Since matching shares are equity instruments of Nagarro SE, ESPP is accounted for as an equity-settled share-based payment scheme in line with IFRS 2. Once all eligible employees have decided upon their yearly participation, the fair value of the equity instrument granted is calculated and fixed for each tranche on the basis of proportional share price at the grant date taking into consideration the discounted estimated dividends.

The development of acquired investment and estimated matching shares, as well as the parameters used for the calculation of the fair value are as follows:

Tranche 1a (Feb 2023) Tranche 1b (May 2023) Tranche 2 (December 2023) Tranche 1 (June 2024)

Other information relating to the share-based payment arrangements

Against the grant of these equity-settled stock options and stocks under ESPP, Nagarro has recognized an expense of kEUR 1,656 (June 30, 2023: kEUR 1,428) and recognized the corresponding amount in capital reserves (refer Note C. 5 Equity).

The weighted average remaining contractual life for the stock options outstanding and ESPP as at June 30, 2024 was 1.1 years (December 31, 2023: 1.6 years) and 2.1 years (December 31, 2023: 2.4 years) respectively.

The weighted average fair value of options and shares granted under ESPP granted during the year was EUR Nil (2023: EUR 46.17) and EUR 82.20 (2023: EUR 110.89) respectively.

Adjusted EBITDA 74,655 60,338

4. Gross margin

Gross profit is calculated on the basis of total performance which is sum of revenue and own work capitalized. Cost of revenues is the total direct costs needed to service the revenue. It includes direct costs related to colleagues (employees and freelancers) allocated to the performance of customer services regardless of whether the colleagues are actually performing customer services during a given period of time, costs related to travel of these colleagues, cost of licenses and other, smaller, reimbursable and non-reimbursable cost components. The gross margin is calculated as the difference between the total performance and the cost of revenues, expressed as a percentage of the revenue.

In the past, Nagarro categorized all cost incurred by Global Business Units (GBUs) and Centers of Excellence (COEs) as cost of revenues, regardless of its nature. Over time, as Nagarro's GBUs became more mature and specialized, they engaged more sales personnel to drive consultative selling. As a result, Nagarro's gross margins appeared to reduce over time, which did not convey an accurate picture of the fundamentals of the business. In 2023, Nagarro engaged a top management consulting firm to evaluate Nagarro's cost classification compared to that of other IT services companies. Taking the consulting firm's inputs into account, the company has revised the definition of cost of revenues from Q1 2024 onwards to align it better with that of other IT services companies. As per the current method, the cost of GBU management, cost of consultative sales within the GBUs, and the cost of thought leadership in COEs and in practices within the GBUs, have been reclassified from cost of revenues to sales and marketing, general and administrative cost.

The gross profit and margin based on both the current method and the previous method to allow comparisons with the numbers delivered for 2023 via the previous method is presented below:

Six-month period ended June 30 2024 2023

5. Segment information

The segment report for Nagarro has been prepared using the guiding principle of IFRS 8 and the Custodian of Entrepreneurship in the Organization has been identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM).

Nagarro provides various types of software development and consulting technology services in an integrated manner to clients in various industries and geographic locations. Nagarro's operations are located in 36 countries. Till September 30, 2023, apart from the financial information on consolidated basis, the CODM also used to review the financial information based on four client regions / segments: North America, Central Europe, Rest of Europe, and Rest of World.

However, over time, with the increasing size of Nagarro and the increasing maturity and geographical footprint of the Global Business Units ("GBUs"), the segmentation by client regions has begun to play a diminishing role in how the CODM makes his decisions. The assessment of potential acquisitions and the performance of completed acquisitions are now aligned to Global Business Units rather than to geographical regions.

Hence, effective fourth quarter of 2023, the CODM has stopped looking at the additional layer of financial information based on client regions and continues to review financial information prepared on a consolidated basis, accompanied by disaggregated information about revenue and adjusted operating income by identified business units. The identified GBUs are of three types, namely, horizontal (services-based), vertical (industry-based) and mixed (based on other ad-hoc factors, including customer-based or channel-based). Thus, there is a significant overlap in the scope of the activities of different GBUs. Given the complex multi-topic nature of many IT projects, multiple GBUs frequently collaborate in both sales efforts and actual delivery of a project to a client. The majority of the engineering professionals in the company can be deployed freely across most GBUs. Additionally, the composition and organization of the GBUs is fluid and the structure changes regularly in response to the growth of the overall business, including via acquisitions, and changes in reporting structure, clients, services, industries served, and delivery centers. Based on an overall evaluation of all facts and circumstances, Nagarro has determined that it operates as a single operating and reportable segment.

The geographical country wise revenues are as follows:

Six-month period ended June 30 2024 2023
kEUR kEUR
Attributed to the entity's country of domicile
Germany 105,226 93,181

8. Capital management
