In addition, the investors in financial instruments of the Group are exposed to risks related to investments in securities (derivative and underlying).

7.1.SYSTEMATIC RISKS

Systematic risks are related to the market and the macro environment in which the Group operates, which is why they cannot be managed and controlled by the Company's management. Systematic risks are the following: political risk, macroeconomic risk, inflation risk, currency risk, interest rate risk, tax risk and unemployment risk.

businesses operate, and investors would incur losses. On March 5, 2024, the Prime Minister
Nikolay Denkov submitted the cabinet's resignation to the National Assembly's office. The
next day, the resignation of the cabinet was accepted by the parliament with 216 votes in
favor. Early parliamentary elections were held in June 2024 and a new regular government
was formed.

At its meeting on December 12, 2024, the Governing Council of the ECB decided to cut
the three key ECB interest rates by 25 basis points. The Governing Council is determined
to ensure a sustained stabilisation of inflation at the medium-term target of 2%. 4
INFLATION
RISK
Inflation risk is a general rise in prices in which money depreciates and there exists a
probability of loss to households and firms.
The consumer price index (CPI) is an official measure of inflation in the Republic of
Bulgaria. It estimates the total relative change in the prices of goods and services used by
households for personal (non-production) consumption and the index is calculated by
applying the structure of the final cash consumer expenditure of Bulgarian households.

inflation is 2,2%. Inflation is measured by the CPI, with monthly inflation referring to

RISK
Currency risk will have an impact on companies with market shares, the payments of which
are made in a currency other than BGN and EUR. Since, according to the current legislation

the Bulgarian National Bank is obliged to maintain a level of Bulgarian levs in circulation

In connection with the transformation of the legal form of the Parent Company from a joint-stock company to a European company, throughout this document the corporate name of the Parent Company has been updated to read SHELLY GROUP SE instead of SHELLY GROUP AD. There is no change in the legal personality of the Parent Company.

equal to the Bank's foreign exchange reserves, the risk of devaluation of the BGN compared
to the European currency is minimal and consists in the eventual early abolition of the
currency board in the country. At this stage, this seems unlikely, as the currency board is
expected to be abolished upon the adoption of the EUR in Bulgaria as an official unit of
payment.
Theoretically, currency risk could increase when Bulgaria joins the second stage of the
European Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM II). This is a regime in which the country must
maintain the exchange rate compared to the EUR within +/-
15% against the central parity.
In practice, all countries currently in this mechanism (Denmark, Estonia, Cyprus, Lithuania,
Latvia, Malta) are witnessing fluctuations that are significantly less than the allowed ones
of ± 15%.
On July 10, 2020, Bulgaria joined the ERM II exchange rate mechanism, known as the
'euro area's waiting room'. The central rate of the Bulgarian lev is fixed at EUR 1 = BGN
1.95583. Around this central exchange rate of the BGN, the standard range of plus or minus
15 percent will be maintained. Bulgaria joins the exchange rate mechanism with its existing
currency board regime, as a unilateral commitment and without additional requirements to
the ECB.8 At the same time, our country must enter into close cooperation with the unified
banking supervision. The fixed exchange rate of the BGN to the EUR does not eliminate
for the Bulgarian currency the risk of unfavorable movements of the euro exchange rate
against other major currencies (US dollar, British pound, Swiss franc) on the international
financial markets, but at present the Group does not consider that such a risk would be
material to its business. The Group may be affected by currency risk depending on the type
of cash flow currency and the type of currency of the Group's
potential loans.
SHELLY GROUP SE's Group companies operate in Bulgaria as well as in EU countries
and other countries, mainly in the USA, Latin America and Australia. At present, the main
revenues from the IoT business of the Group are in BGN or EUR, and the costs of delivery
of goods in this segment are mainly in US dollars and are largely tied to the Chinese yuan,
which is why the appreciation of the US dollar or Chinese yuan would have an adverse
effect on the business performance. In terms of US dollar exposure, the Group's
companies
are expected to have significant US dollar sales revenue in the US and other non-EU
markets in the future, which to some extent balances the Group's
net exposure to this major
currency.
To limit the effects of the currency risk, the Group's
companies have introduced a system
for planning the deliveries from countries inside and outside the EU, as well as procedures
for ongoing monitoring of the movements in the exchange rates of the foreign currencies
and control over the forthcoming payments. Currently, the Group's
companies do not use
derivative instruments for hedging the currency risk but, if necessary, the management is
ready to enter into such transactions.
CREDIT RISK
OF THE STATE
Credit risk represents the probability of deterioration of Bulgaria's international credit
ratings, caused by the inability of the state to regularly repay its liabilities. Low credit
ratings of the state may lead to higher interest rates, more difficult financing conditions for
both state and individual entities, including the Group. Credit ratings are prepared by
specialized credit rating agencies and serve to determine and measure a state's credit risk.
In its report dated 19.10.2024, the international rating agency Fitch Ratings
affirmed
Bulgaria's long-term foreign and local currency credit rating of 'BBB' with a positive
outlook.

In connection with the transformation of the legal form of the Parent Company from a joint-stock company to a European company, throughout this document the corporate name of the Parent Company has been updated to read SHELLY GROUP SE instead of SHELLY GROUP AD. There is no change in the legal personality of the Parent Company.

Bulgaria's rating is supported by the country's strong external economic and fiscal position compared to countries with the same rating, the reliable policy framework of EU membership and the long-standing functioning of the currency board regime. Also, Fitch Ratings notes that low labor productivity and unfavorable demographics have a deterring effect on potential growth and the stability of government finances in the long term.

The positive outlook reflects the country's prospects for euro area membership, which would lead to further improvements in the country's external position. Fitch Ratings considers that there is broad political commitment at national and European level to adopt the euro.

Adoption of the euro: Bulgaria has fulfilled all nominal convergence criteria for adopting the euro except price stability, according to the 2024 Convergence Report, which was published in mid-2024. Since then, inflation in Bulgaria has continued to decline, narrowing the gap between the average inflation in the country and that of the three best performing EU member states. According to Fitch, Bulgaria could meet the price stability criterion at the beginning of 2025 in inflation across the EU.

In our baseline scenario, this would allow Bulgaria to request a reassessment of its progress on convergence criteria in 1H25 and allow entry into the euro area from January 2026. All legislative measures needed to implement outstanding post-ERM II commitments have been approved by Parliament, while some measures await implementation. However, the lack of a stable government and potentially lengthy coalition negotiations could delay entry into the eurozone. Overall, we believe that the adoption of the euro will support the rating.

Gradual recovery of growth: Fitch expects GDP growth of 2% in 2024, up from 1,8% in 2023, supported by solid private consumption and sustained investment activity, despite increased political uncertainty and delays in the implementation of the NPD. Net exports will hamper growth as external demand remains weak and buoyant domestic demand increases imports. We forecast GDP growth to 2,5% in 2025 and 2,7% in 2026, slightly weaker than other countries, mostly due to an expected recovery in external demand.

Slower decline in inflation: HICP inflation was 1,5% in September 2024 and base inflation was 2,3%, suggesting a broad-based easing of price pressures. We expect inflation to start rising gradually in the coming months as base effects become less favourable and inflationary effects from strong nominal wage growth has an effect on prices. We expect an average HICP of 3% in 2024, 3,5% in 2025 and 3,1% in 2026, slightly above the median for similar countries.

Larger fiscal deficits in the medium term: Fitch forecasts the budget deficit to widen to 2,8% of GDP in 2024, from 1,9% in 2023, reflecting higher spending on compensation and social spending. The lack of measures to increase revenues will keep the budget deficit unchanged at 2,9% in 2025-2026 (compared to a BBB median of 3,2% deficit). The caretaker government intends to present the draft budget for 2025 and the medium-term fiscal-structural plan in the fall, but Fitch does not expect much clarity on potential measures before the government is formed. Increased social spending, delays in the implementation of reforms and a lack of credible medium-term fiscal planning, due to the instability of recent cabinets, have weakened Bulgaria's fiscal position in recent years.

Factors that could lead to positive actions on the rating are: Further progress towards the adoption of the euro, for example by confirming that Bulgaria has fulfilled the convergence criteria and greater certainty regarding the likely timing of the adoption of the euro. Improving growth potential, for example by implementing structural reforms in governance to improve the business environment and efficient use of EU funds.

Factors that could lead to negative actions on the rating are: Lack of progress in joining the euro area due to persistent political instability or non-fulfilment of convergence criteria.

Weaker economic growth prospects, for example as a result of adverse political events that
weigh on the implementation of reforms.9
RISK OF UN
EMPLOYMENT
As a major factor affecting consumer purchasing power, an increase in unemployment
would reduce the demand for IoT products. On the other hand, the demand for personnel
by the businesses continues to be very active and such risk seems insignificant in the coming
year.
According to Eurostat estimates, in November 2024 the seasonally adjusted unemployment
rate in the euro area was 6,3%, which is stable compared to October 2024 and lower than
6,5% in November 2023. In November 2024 the level of unemployment in EU is 5,9%,
which is stable compared to October 2024 and is lower than 6,1% in November 2023.10
The registered unemployment rate in the country in December 2024 was 5,23%, which
represents a decrease of 0,4 percentage points compared to the same month of the previous
year 2023.11
LEGAL RISK Although Bulgaria has introduced a number of
significant legislative changes since joining
the EU and most of the Bulgarian legislation has been harmonized with EU legislation, the
legal system in the country is still in the process of reform. Judicial and administrative
practices remain problematic
and it is difficult to effectively resolve property disputes,
breaches of laws and contracts, etc. Deficiencies in the legal infrastructure can result in
uncertainty arising from the implementation of corporate actions, supervision and other
issues.
TAX RISK It is essential for the financial performance of the companies to maintain the current tax
regime. There is no guarantee that the tax legislation, which is directly relevant to the core
business of the Group, will not be changed in a direction that would lead to significant
unforeseen expenses and, accordingly, would adversely affect its profit. The taxation
system in Bulgaria is still developing, as a result of which a contradictory tax practice may
arise.

7.2.UNSYSTEMATIC RISKS

Risks related to the industry in which the Group operates

Such risks are the Risk of Key Personnel Shortage, Competitive Risk, Personal Data Security and Cyber Attacks Risk, Regulatory and Specific Technical Requirements Risk, Risk of Changing Technologies.

Risk of key personnel shortage

One of the biggest challenges facing technology companies such as the Group's companies, as well as considering the specific scope of their activity in the field of telecommunications and engineering and software development, is the shortage of qualified personnel. The insufficient availability of suitable personnel in the subsidiaries could adversely affect the future development of the Group, due to delays in the development of new products/services or the maintenance of existing ones. On the other hand, the high competition for attracting personnel in this sector raises the price of labor. As a result, the financial position and market share of the Group's companies would suffer.

In connection with the transformation of the legal form of the Parent Company from a joint-stock company to a European company, throughout this document the corporate name of the Parent Company has been updated to read SHELLY GROUP SE instead of SHELLY GROUP AD. There is no change in the legal personality of the Parent Company.

Competition Risk

Following the sale of the telecommunications business of SHELLY GROUP SE, the Group's companies operate primarily on the Internet of Things (IoT) segment. This segment is one of the most modern and promising sectors of the industry, which attracts the interest of many technological giants and start-ups. The loss or inability to capture market share and declines in final product prices due to increased competition could have a negative effect on revenues, earnings and profit margins. Maintaining a competitive position requires investment in creating new useful devices, improving existing solutions and expanding market share, and it cannot be taken for granted that new developments will prevail among competitors on the market.

Personal Data Security and Cyber Attacks Risk

The technology industry is characterized by the digital transfer of information that could be strictly confidential, containing personal data of product users, financial information of companies, information about new products, etc. The protection of such information is a critically important factor for the normal functioning of companies in the industry, including the Group's companies. The sales of the devices and the use by customers of the accompanying mobile applications and cloud services provided by the Group are related to the exchange and storage of personal data. A potential breach in information security may lead to: i) Loss of customers and/or partners and their migration to competitive companies; ii) Imposing sanctions and lawsuits with regard to violations of applicable data protection and privacy laws; iii) Lost or delayed orders and sales; iv) Adverse effect on reputation, business, financial position, profit and cash flows.

Regulatory and specific technical requirements risk

The offering of IoT devices is subject to a regulation for the certification of the products for sale in the respective country. In the European Union, products must be marked 'CE', thus indicating that the product has been evaluated and meets safety, health and environmental requirements. The US equivalent is UL Certification. For the purposes of certification, accredited laboratories are assigned the compliance tests, which is associated with significant costs. In addition, specifics in the requirements of local regulators and counterparties (especially mobile operators) may require the performance of additional tests and certification, which increases the cost of entering a certain market or a certain distribution channel.

The sales of the products of the Group's companies cover more and more markets, which often have local regulation regarding the certification of similar products in the respective country. Compliance with local regulatory requirements is time and resource intensive and may delay the Group companies' entry into new markets or impose additional costs to meet different standards.

The change in regulatory requirements for devices may involve additional costs to bring them into compliance with the new requirements, including costs of recalling products from the market to bring them into compliance with those requirements. The Group's companies and their local partners monitor for planned legislative changes on a regular basis in order to take measures to ensure product compliance.

Given the insignificant share of MyKi series tracking devices in the Group's sales revenue and the Group's

focus on the development, distribution and sale of IoT devices and building automation solutions, the risk of possible changes in the regulations of telecommunications services no longer has an impact on the Group's activities. The IoT devices developed and sold by the Group's companies use Internet-based technology and can work with the services of any Internet provider.

In this respect, the Group is no longer dependent on regulations in the field of telecommunications, insofar as the companies in its structure are not telecommunication service providers and mobile operators do not have significant involvement as a channel for their distribution.

Risk of change in technology

SHELLY GROUP SE and its subsidiaries operate in a highly dynamic segment where technology has a significant impact and is a source of competitive advantage. As a result, there is a risk of delayed adaptation to new technologies, due to lack of knowledge, experience or sufficient funding, which may have a negative effect on the Group. Slow adaptation to new realities may lead to loss of competitive positions and market shares, which in turn will lead to deterioration of the Group's results.

Risks related to the Group's activities

Such risks are: operational risk, risk related to business partners, risks arising from new projects and liquidity risk.

Operational risk

Operational risk can be defined as the risk of losses caused by flawed or failed internal processes related to management. Such risks may arise as a result of:

  • Wrong operational decisions related to current project made by the management;
  • Shortage of qualified personnel necessary for the development and implementation of new projects;
  • Resigning key personnel impossible to replace;
  • Risk of an excessive increase in management and administrative costs, leading to a decrease in the overall profitability of the Group;
  • Technical failures leading to long interruptions is providing services may lead to the termination of contracts with customers.

The effects of such circumstances may reduce the Group's revenues and deteriorate the results of its activity.

Risk related to business partners

Manufacturing activity in the IoT segment has been outsourced, primarily to China, and is concentrated in a few manufacturers. Potential risks associated with key subcontractors are related to accurate and timely delivery or termination of business relationships. Although, management believes there is a wide range of alternative suppliers, the possible transfer of production to new partners and diversification of subcontractors may give rise to delays in deliveries and additional costs, which may affect the ability of the companies in the Group to fulfil agreed orders from customers and adversely affect the reputation and financial results of the

Group.

Risks arising from new projects

The main activity of SHELLY GROUP SE is investments in subsidiaries. There is a risk that some of the subsidiaries may not be able to meet their objectives, resulting in a lower or negative return on investment.

The development of new products and services by SHELLY GROUP SE's subsidiaries is related to the investment in human resources, software, hardware, materials, goods and services. In case the new products and services fail to be realised on the market, such investments would be unjustified. This, in turn, would have a negative impact on the Group's expenses and assets, as well as on the results of its operations. In order to manage the risk arising from new projects, the Group's companies make market and financial analyses with different scenarios, and in some cases discuss the concept of the new service / product with potential customers.

Liquidity risk

With regard to the Group, the manifestation of liquidity risk is associated with the possibility of a lack of timely and/or sufficient available funds to meet all current obligations. This risk can occur both in case of a significant delay in payments by the Group's debtors, and in case of insufficiently effective management of cash flows from the Group's activities.

Some of the Group's companies use bank funding such as investment loans, overdrafts or revolving credit lines, which can be used in case of liquidity problems.

The Group implements a conservative liquidity management policy, through which it constantly maintains an optimal liquid cash reserve and a good ability to finance its business activity. In order to control the risk, the Group is trying to pay its liabilities within the agreed deadlines. The Group monitors and controls the actual and estimated cash flows for future periods and maintains a balance between the maturity limits of the Group's assets and liabilities.

8. SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE DATE OF PREPARATION OF THE ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The events after the date of preparation of the financial statements are disclosed in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements for 2024.

9. CURRENT TRENDS AND POSSIBLE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF THE GROUP

SHELLY GROUP SE does not carry out direct production activities. The production activity is carried out by the Group's subsidiaries.

In 2025, SHELLY GROUP SE will continue to operate in the following main areas:

  1. Observation, control and decision-making on important issues affecting subsidiaries as sole proprietor or majority owner through:

  2. applying the principles of good corporate governance;

  3. providing efficient and transparent work conditions;
  4. improving the quality of services/products offered;
  5. operational reorganization and optimization.

    1. Transactions with assets of the Group
    1. Management structure establishment
    1. Funding the investments and the working capital of the subsidiaries
    1. Establish a unified resource management system (ERP) within all Group companies.

10. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES

The Parent Company has not carried out any research and development activities and is not planning such activities in the foreseeable future. The subsidiaries Shelly Europe EOOD and Shelly Tech d.o.o., Slovenia carried out such activity in 2024.

The subsidiary Shelly Europe EOOD employs a team comprised of technical specialists (hardware and software) that participate in the development of new products and in the improvement of already existing products. The finished development project are recognized as intangible assets (prototypes), which are amortized while the Group continue to produce and sell the corresponding products. This activity is key for the Group and is one of its main competitive advantages.

Most of the employees of the Group are proficient in the technical characteristics and the advantages of the devices produced. The Group organizes regular internal trainings and seminars aimed at informing the employees about any new developments and improvements. This contributes to improved communication with clients and partners.

The Group invests actively in improvement of business processes. At the end of 2024 was completed the implementation of new ERP system (SAP) in all Bulgarian companies of the Group. It is expected that this will improve significantly the business processes.

A general description of the internal control and risk management system is provided below.

The Parent Company has a system of internal control and risk management ("the system") that guarantees the effective functioning of the reporting and disclosure systems as well as an Audit committee. The system is built and functioning in order to identify the risks associated with the Group's activities and their effective management. The Board of Directors has the primary responsibility and role in establishing the internal control and risk management system. It performs both managing and guiding function as well as ongoing monitoring.

The ongoing monitoring by the management consists of assessing whether the system is still appropriate for the Group in a changed environment, whether it operates as expected and whether it adapts successfully to

the changed conditions. The evaluation of selected areas is in line with the Company's priorities. The evaluation is also commensurate with the specifics of the Company and the impact of the identified risks.

The Board of Directors monitors the main features and characteristics of the system, including identified incidents and the respective applied corrective actions.

The Audit Committee assists the Board of Directors in the execution of their control functions and powers with regard to the financial reporting process, the internal control system, the audit process and monitoring on compliance of the activities of Shelly Group SE with the provisions of applicable national and European legislation, as well as the Group's internal policies. The Audit Committee holds regular meetings, fulfilling the functions assigned to it by law and the General Meeting of Shareholders in accordance with the adopted Statutes.

Control environment

The control environment includes the functions of general management, as well as the attitude, awareness and actions of the corporate management pertaining to internal control.

  • Commitment for competence. The Board of Directors of the Parent Company, as well as those involved in the internal control and risk management process, have the relevant knowledge and skills necessary to perform the tasks. The executive members of the Board of Directors of the Parent Company monitor the levels of competence required for the specific jobs and the ways in which those competences become required skills and knowledge.
  • Participation of those charged with governance. The awareness of control in the Parent Company is greatly influenced by those charged with governance, namely the Board of Directors. The responsibilities of the members of the Board of Directors are stated in the Statutes of the Parent Company and the management contracts. In addition, the executive members of the Board of Directors are also responsible for the supervision of the effective functioning of the early warning procedures and of improving the Group's internal control.
  • The Board of directors is supported by the Audit committee that is selected by the shareholders during an annual meeting of shareholders. The Board of directors and Audit committee ensure that the legislation in relation with independent audit are applied. As of the end of 2024 members of the Audit committee are: Anelia Petkova Angelova - Tumbeva, Albena Benkova Beneva and Marian Nikolov.

The purpose of corporate management is to hire competent and reliable employees.

Risk assessment process for the Group

The process of risk assessment is the basis on which the Board of Directors of the Parent Company determines the risks to be managed.

The Board of Directors of the Parent Company identifies the following types of risk that affect the Group and its activities: general (systematic) and specific (non-systematic) risks.

Systematic risks are related to the macro environment in which the Group operates, which is why in most cases they cannot be controlled by the management team.

Non-systematic risks are directly related to the activities of the Group and depend mainly on corporate governance. To minimize them, we rely on increasing the efficiency of internal company planning and forecasting, which provides opportunities to overcome possible negative consequences of a risky event.

Each of the risks related to the country - political, economic, credit, inflation, currency, has its own significance, but the interaction between them forms a comprehensive picture of the main economic indicators, market and competitive conditions in the country in which the Parent Company operates.

A detailed description of the risks typical for the activity of Shelly Group SE is presented in p. 7. MAIN RISKS FOR THE GROUP in this Report.

2. Basis for preparation of the financial statements and material accounting policy information 2.1. Basis for preparation

The Group keeps its current accounting records and prepares its financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Bulgarian commercial and accounting legislation.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the International Accounting Standards (IAS), published by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and adopted by the European Union (EU).

As of December 31, 2024, IASs comprises the IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by EU and the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), approved by the IASB, and the International Accounting Standards and Interpretations of the Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC), approved by the International Accounting Standards Committee (IASC), effective from January 1, 2024, and adopted by the EU.

2.2. Initial application of new and amended IFRS Accounting Standards

2.2.1. Standards effective for the current reporting period

The Group's management has complied with all standards and interpretations that are applicable to its activity and have been officially adopted by the EU as of the date of preparation of these consolidated financial statements.

The management has reviewed the changes in the existing accounting standards effective from January 1, 2024 and believes that they do not require changes in terms of the accounting policy applied in the current year.

At the date of preparation of these consolidated financial statements, the following new standards, issued by IASB and adopted by the EU are effective:

  • Amendments to IFRS 16 Leasing - Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback issued by IASB on September 22, 2023 (effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024);
  • Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current and Non-current Liabilities with Covenants (effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024);
  • Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7: Supplier Finance Arrangements (effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024);

2.2.2. Amendments to the existing IFRS accounting standards issued by the IASB and adopted by the EU, but not yet effective

  • Amendments to IAS 21: The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates - Lack of Exchangeability (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2025).
  • 2.2.3. New standards and amendments to the existing IFRS accounting standards, issued by the IASB, but not yet adopted by the EU

At present, IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU do not significantly differ from regulations adopted by the IASB except for the following new standards and amendments to the existing standards, which were not endorsed for use in EU as at the date of publication of these consolidated financial statements (the effective dates stated below is for IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by IASB):

  • IFRS 14 Regulatory Deferral Accounts (effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016) - the European Commission has decided not to launch the endorsement process of this interim standard and to wait for the final standard;
  • Amendments to IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures - Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture and further amendments (effective date deferred by IASB indefinitely but earlier application permitted). Endorsement process postponed indefinitely until the research project on the equity method has been concluded.
  • Amendments to IFRS 1, IFRS 7, IFRS 9, IFRS 10 and IAS 7 - Annual Improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards - Volume 11 - effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026;
  • Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026);
  • Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 Amendments to Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026);
  • IFRS 18 - Presentation and Disclosures in Financial Statements (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027);
  • IFRS 19 - Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027);

The Group anticipates that the adoption of these new standards and amendments to the existing standards will have no material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group in the period of initial application, except for IFRS 18 which is expected to have material impact on the presentation and disclosure of information in the financial statements. The Group is in process of analysing the specific impact of IFRS 18 on its consolidated financial statements.

Hedge accounting for a portfolio of financial assets and liabilities whose principles have not been adopted by the EU remains unregulated.

According to the Group's estimates, the application of hedge accounting to a portfolio of financial assets or liabilities pursuant to IAS 39 Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement would not significantly impact the consolidated financial statements, if applied as at the reporting date.

2.3. Going concern

The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared on the going concern principle, as it is expected that the Group shall continue its operating activity in near future.

A military conflict between Russia and Ukraine continued during the reporting period, but since the Group does not have transactions and accounts with customers from these two countries, management believes that this event is not expected to directly or indirectly affect the Group's results and financial position in the future.

The military conflict in the Middle East that broke out is also not expected to affect the Group's results and financial situation.

Management has no plans or intentions to sell the business or cease operations, which could materially change the measurement or classification of assets and liabilities reported in the consolidated financial statements.

The assessment of assets and liabilities and the measurement of income and expenses is made in compliance with the historical cost principle. This principle is modified in specific cases by the revaluation of certain assets and/or liabilities to their fair value as of December 31 of the reporting year and December 31 of the previous year, as indicated in the relevant notes below.

2.4. Functional and reporting currency

The reporting currency for the elements of the consolidated financial statements is the Bulgarian lev (BGN), which is the functional currency of Shelly Group SE.

The data in the elements of the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto are presented in thousands of BGN, unless explicitly stated otherwise. The amounts over BGN 500 are rounded up to 1 thousand for disclosure in the consolidated financial statements and the notes.

The companies of the Group keep their accounting records in the functional currency of the country in which they operate. The effects of exchange differences relating to the settlement of foreign currency transactions or the reporting of transactions in a foreign currency at rates that are different from those at which they were originally recognised shall be included in the statement of comprehensive income at the time they arise, treated as "other operating income and expenses" except those related to investments and loans denominated in foreign currency, which are presented as "finance income" and "finance expenses".

Non-monetary assets and liabilities originally denominated in a foreign currency are accounted for in a functional currency using the historical exchange rate at the date of the transaction and subsequently not revalued at a closing rate.

2.5. Comparative data

According to the Bulgarian accounting legislation and IAS, the financial year ends on December 31 and enterprises are required to present annual financial statements as of the same date, together with comparative data as of that date for the previous year.

If necessary, the data presented for the previous year are adjusted for better comparability with the data from the current period.

In 2024, the Parent Company identified an inaccuracy in the balance of long-term retirement benefit obligation (note 3.15), related to a technical error made when presenting the opening balance for the reporting period.

The result of correction made is a decrease in the opening balance of the retirement benefit liability with BGN 74 thousand (from BGN 271 thousand to BGN 197 thousand). Accordingly, the comparative data for the previous year was amended as follows: the long-term retirement obligation liability was decreased by BGN 74 thousand and the long-term leasing liabilities were increased with the same amount. (Note 3.14).

2.6. Transactions and balances

A transaction in foreign currency is recognized initially in the functional currency by applying the foreign currency exchange rate (spot) between the functional currency and the foreign currency at the time of the transaction or operation.

At each date of financial statement preparation:

(a) monetary positions, receivables and payables denominated in foreign currency are recalculated into the functional currency using the exchange rate published by the BNB on the last business day of the respective month;

(b) non-monetary items held at historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction, if an exchange rate other than that of the transaction (average monthly, daily or other) is applied; and

(c) non-monetary items held at fair value in a foreign currency are recalculated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.

Foreign currency exchange differences are recognized in accordance with IAS 21 the Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates.

The items of the consolidated statement of financial position and consolidated statement of comprehensive income of foreign companies of the Group, using a functional currency other than Bulgarian lev, are retranslated into BGN to be included in the consolidated statement of the Group as follows:

• All monetary and non-monetary assets and liabilities (including comparative information) are recalculated at the BNB closing exchange rate at the date of the relevant statement of financial

position; Monetary positions in foreign currency as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are retranslated in these financial statements at the closing exchange of the BNB. As of December 31, 2023 – BGN 1.76998 for 1 USD; BGN 1.73998 for 10 NOK and BGN 1.95583 for 1 EUR, and as of December 31, 2024 – BGN 1.8826 for 1 USD; BGN 1.95583 for 1 EUR and BGN 0.249115 for 1 CNY.

  • The income and expense items of each comprehensive income statement are recalculated at the accounting date at the weighted average exchange rate for the accounting period;
  • All exchange rate differences obtained are recognized as other comprehensive income.
  • The cumulative amount of these exchange rate differences is presented in a separate component of equity until the foreign operation is disposed.
  • Share capital and other components of equity are translated using the historical rate, i.e. the exchange rate at the date of issue of share capital, or at the date of the associated transaction for other components of equity.

2.7. Accounting estimates and judgements

The application of the IAS requires the Group's management to apply certain accounting assumptions and judgments when preparing the annual consolidated financial statements and when determining the value of some of the assets, liabilities, income, expenses and contingent assets and liabilities.

All assessments are based on the management's best judgment as of the date of preparation of these consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those presented in these consolidated financial statements.

In preparing these consolidated financial statements, the management used judgments related to the following items:

  • Right-of-use assets period of use of the assets and discount factor (Note 3.03)
  • Short-term receivables need for impairment (Note 3.10)
  • Retirement benefits obligations (Note 3.15)
  • Deferred tax assets (Note 3.07)
  • Warranty service provision (Note 3.18)

2.8. Subsidiaries and associated companies

Subsidiaries are the entities over which Shelly Group SE exercises control as defined in IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements.

The parent-company (the investor) controls the investee company if it has:

  • Rights over the ownership of the subsidiary;
  • Rights over the variable returns from its participation in the subsidiary;
  • Ability to use its powers over the entity in order to influence the size of return on investment.

All amounts are in thousand Bulgarian leva unless otherwise stated

Subsidiaries are considered controlled starting from the date on which control is acquired by the Group and they cease to be consolidated on the date when it is assumed that the control has been lost. Associated company is a company in which the Group has significant influence on decisions regarding operating and financial policies, but without being able to fully control those policies.

2.9. Discontinued operations

In 2024, the management of the Group decided to sell the subsidiary Shelly Properties EOOD.

In case of sale or other form of loss (transfer) of control over a subsidiary:

  • The assets and liabilities (including if there is associated goodwill) of the subsidiary are written off at book value on the date of loss of control.
  • The non-controlling interest in this subsidiary is written off at book value in the consolidated statement of financial position as of the date of loss of control, incl. any components of other comprehensive income related thereto.
  • The consideration received from the transaction, event or operation that led to the loss of control is recognized at fair value;
  • Any resulting difference is recognized as "gain or loss on disposal (sale) of a subsidiary" in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income belonging to the parent company. Profits or losses from the sale (release) of a given subsidiary (enterprise) from the Group also include the book value of the goodwill, deductible for the sold (released) company (enterprise).

The effect of the sale of the subsidiary on 26.09.2024 is presented below:

  • Consideration paid BGN 6 796 thousand
  • Assets held for sale BGN 5 592 thousand
  • Liabilities held of sale BGN 38 thousand
  • Net Assets BGN 5 554 thousand
  • Profit from discontinued operations BGN 1 242 thousand

Cash generated from the sale and reported in the cashflow report are as follows:

  • Cash equivalents from discontinued operations BGN 1 320 thousand
  • Proceeds from sale of discontinued operations BGN 6 763 thousand
  • Net cash flow from discontinued operations BGN 5 443 thousand

The cash flows from discontinued operations related to the sale transaction of the subsidiary - Shelly Properties EOOD, are indicated in the cash flows from investment activities in the line "Proceeds from the sale of investments".

The book values of the assets and liabilities held for sale as of 26.09.2024 – the date of the sale transaction, on which date effective control of the sold subsidiary is transferred, are as follows:

All amounts are in thousand Bulgarian leva unless otherwise stated

September 26,
Assets 2024
Goodwill 126
Property, plant and equipment 4 140
Trade receivables 3
Advances to suppliers 1
Other receivables 2
Cash and cash equivalents 1 320
Total Assets 5 592
Liabilities September 26,
2024
Trade payables 9
Tax liabilities 16
Payables to employees 1
Other payables 7
Prepaid income 5
Total liabilities 38

The revenues and expenses realized up to the date of the sale, respectively as a result of the activities of the subsidiary, are as follows:

September 26,
2024
Gross Sales Revenue 552
Gross Cost (420)
Gross profit before taxes 132
Taxes (14)
Net profit 118
Elimination of intercompany transactions (526)
Net profit(loss) (394)

2.10. Non-controlling interest

The non-controlling interest is valued at the proportionate share of identifiable net assets at the date of acquisition.

Changes in the Group's ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amount of the Group's interests and non-controlling interests is adjusted to reflect changes in their relative interests in subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity and attributed to the owners of the Parent Company.

2.11. Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of the Group include the financial statements of the parent company and the subsidiaries. All assets, liabilities, capital, income, expenses and cash flows of the group companies are presented as such as they belong to just one entity.

Subsidiaries are those entities that are controlled by the parent company. Control occurs when the parent company exercises its rights on variable return arising from its participation in the subsidiary's capital and has the ability to influence this return from investment through its power. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared following the same accounting policies with respect to similar transactions and business facts of all companies in the Group. All mutual interests, as well as significant internal transactions, balances and unrealized gains in the Group are eliminated and the financial statements are prepared using the full consolidation method. The financial results of operations of the subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition of control over them and cease to be consolidated from the date on which such control is lost. When a subsidiary is acquired as a result of an internal group restructuring, its net assets and financial result are included from the beginning of the earliest accounting period presented in the financial statements.

2.12. Definition and assessment of the items of the consolidated financial statements

2.12.1. Revenue

The Group recognises revenue from the following major sources:

• Sale of electronic devices

Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in a contract with a customer and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Group recognises revenue when it transfers control of a product or service to a customer.

The Group sells electronic devices both to the wholesale market and directly to customers through its own website and through direct sales. Sales-related warranties associated with the products cannot be purchased separately and they serve as an assurance that the products sold comply with agreed-upon specifications. Accordingly, the Group accounts for warranties in accordance with IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets (see Note 3.18).

For sales of electronic equipment to the wholesale market, revenue is recognised by the Group when control of the goods has transferred, being when the goods have been shipped to the wholesaler's specific location (delivery). Following delivery, the wholesaler has full discretion over the manner of distribution and price to sell the goods and bears the risks of obsolescence and loss in relation to the goods. A receivable is recognised by the Group when the goods are delivered to the wholesaler as this represents the point in time

at which the right to consideration becomes unconditional, and the Group expects to receive payment in the agreed term.

The Group recognizes revenue from sales through an online store at the time the goods are shipped to the address requested by the customer. The payment received from the customer is initially recognized as a contractual obligation until the goods are shipped to the customer.

Under the Group's standard contract terms, customers have a right of return within 14 days. In case of returned goods, the Group adjusts the recognized revenue by reducing it by the value of the returned goods. At the same time, the Group has an obligation to receive back the returned goods, if the customer decides to exercise its right to return the goods and accordingly reduces the cost of goods sold and increases its stock.

The Group uses historical experience to determine the expected value of returned goods in each calendar year. The method assumes that the Group does not expect, with a high probability, to receive returns of goods in amounts significantly exceeding the volume of returned goods in previous years, expressed as a percentage of revenue.

Revenue from services

The Group reports revenue from services, complying with the commitments under the contract. Revenue from services is reported upon final completion of the services (by objects) recognized as performed. In 2023, the Group started offering its customers a subscription to cloud services. The subscription can be paid in monthly instalments or once for a calendar year. In the event that a customer pays an annual subscription, the entire amount is initially recognized as a contractual liability, and each month 1/12 of the amount paid is recognized as revenue.

Other income/revenue

Other income and revenue are recognized when the right to receive them is established.

The Group companies apply IFRS 15 and the management carefully examines its trade practices for possible changes at the time of revenue recognition. No change in the performance obligations and the price allocation in the contracts and revenue recognition is needed for the reporting period.

2.12.2. Expenses

Expenses for future periods shall be deferred for recognition as current expenses in the period in which the obligations under the contracts to which they refer, would be performed.

Financial expenses consist of interest expenses and other direct costs related to loans as well as bank fees and losses from foreign currency exchange.

2.12.3. Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment (non-current tangible assets) are presented in the financial statements at acquisition cost (cost price) less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Initial recognition

Upon initial acquisition, property, plant and equipment are evaluated at acquisition cost (cost price), which includes the purchase price, including customs charges and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to working condition. The direct costs are as follows: costs of site preparation, costs of initial delivering and handling, installation costs, costs for personnel remuneration fees related to the project, nonrefundable taxes, etc.

When acquiring property, plant and equipment on a deferred payment basis, the purchase price is equivalent to the present value of the liability, discounted on the basis of the interest rate on the borrowed resources of the Group with a similar maturity and purpose. The difference between the cash price equivalent and the total payment is recognized as interest over the course of the loan, unless it is capitalized in accordance with IAS 23.

Measurement after recognition

The approach chosen by the Group for the subsequent measurement of property, plant and equipment is the acquisition cost model - less any subsequent depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

For all other classes of non-current tangible assets, the Group applies the acquisition cost model.

Depreciation Methods

The Group uses the straight-line method of depreciation of non-current tangible assets. Depreciation of assets begins when they are available for use. The useful life by groups of assets is determined in accordance with: physical wear and tear, specifics of the equipment, future intentions for use and actual obsolescence.

The useful life by classes of assets is as follows:

Vehicles 4 years
Buildings 25 years
Computer equipment 2-5 years
Office equipment 5-6.67 years
Other non-current tangible assets 6.67 years

The determined useful life of non-current tangible assets is reviewed at the end of each year and, if significant deviations are found against future expectations for the useful life of the assets, it is adjusted prospectively.

Derecognition of non-current tangible assets

The carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment is written off: when it is sold, when no other economic benefits are expected from its use, or when it is disposed.

Gains or losses arising on the derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment are included in the statement of comprehensive income when the asset is written off. Gains and losses on disposals of noncurrent assets are determined when the proceeds from sale (disposal) are reduced by the book value of the asset and the costs related to the sale. They are stated net, to "Other operating income" in the statement of comprehensive income.

The amount of consideration to be included in the gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined in accordance with the requirements for determining the transaction price in paragraphs 47–72 of IFRS 15. Subsequent changes to the estimated amount of the consideration included in the gain or loss shall be accounted for in accordance with the requirements for changes in the transaction price in IFRS 15.

2.12.4. Intangible assets

Intangible assets are presented in the consolidated financial statements at acquisition price (cost price) less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

The Group applies a straight-line method of depreciation of intangible assets with a useful life of 2 years for the software products, 6.67 years for the prototypes and software development, 3 years for an ISO certificate.

The book value of the intangible assets is reviewed for impairment when there are events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the book value amount could exceed their recoverable amount. Then the impairment is included as an expense in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Initial recognition

Externally generated intangible assets on their acquisition are measured at acquisition price, which includes purchase price, import duties, non-refundable taxes and expenses of preparing the asset for its intended use. The direct expenses are: costs of employee benefits (as defined in IAS 19) and professional fees arising directly from bringing the asset to its working condition; costs for testing whether the asset is functioning properly, expenses for fees of persons related to the project, non-refundable taxes, etc.

Intangible assets are recognized if they meet the definition of intangible assets set out in IAS 38 Intangible

All amounts are in thousand Bulgarian leva unless otherwise stated

Assets, namely:

  • Meet the definition of an intangible asset;
  • Upon their acquisition they can be reliably measured;
  • Economic benefits are expected from the use of the asset, as evidenced by the availability or plan to obtain sufficient resources to enable the Group to obtain the expected economic benefits; the ability to effectively perform its functional role in accordance with the intention of the Group regarding its use or there is a clearly defined and specified technical feasibility.

Subsequent costs

Expenses related to the maintenance of initially established standard efficiency, incurred after the commissioning of intangible non-current assets, are recognized as current at the time when they are incurred.

The carrying amount of the respective intangible asset is adjusted by the expenses that lead to increase of the expected future economic benefits form the use of an intangible asset above the initially determined standard efficiency.

2.12.5. Goodwill

Goodwill is an asset representing the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognised. Initially, it is measured in the consolidated financial statements as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred over the amount of the net assets of the acquired company and subsequently it is presented at acquisition cost less impairment losses. Goodwill is not amortized.

The goodwill originating as a result of the acquisition of a subsidiary is presented in the consolidated statement of financial position as a part of non-current assets and the goodwill originating as a result of acquisition of joint-ventures or associated companies is included in the total value of investment and is reported as "investments in associated companies".

The goodwill associated with the acquisition of associated companies is tested for impairment as part of the total value of the investment. Separately recognized goodwill on the acquisition of subsidiaries is tested mandatorily for impairment at least once annually. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed subsequently. Gains or losses on sale (disposal) of a subsidiary of the Group also include the book value of the goodwill, associated with the sold (disposed) company.

Any goodwill amount recognized in the financial statements is attributable to a certain cash generating object at the time a business combination is completed, and this object is applied when tests for impairment are conducted. For determining the cash-generating objects, are considered only objects that are expected

to generate future economic benefits and that are subject to the business combination, which generated the goodwill.

Losses from impairment of goodwill are presented in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (in profit or loss for the year) as part of item "Impairment expenses".

2.12.6. Investments in associated companies

These investments are reported in the consolidated financial statements of the Group by the equity method. By this method, the share of the Group in the comprehensive income of an associated company is consolidated on one line, so that the value of the investment corresponds to its share in the net assets as of December 31 for the respective year or at the end of the respective reporting period. The Group recognizes its share in losses in associated companies up to the amount of its investment, including internal loans granted, unless it has undertaken an obligation to pay such liabilities on behalf of the associated company.

As of December 31, 2024, the Group reports a share in the loss of associated companies amounting to BGN 25 thousand. The value of the investment indicated in the consolidated statement of financial position has been decreased by the same amount.

2.12.7. Inventories

Inventories are accounted at the lower of the two following values: price for acquisition (cost) and net realizable value.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completing the production cycle and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. In the event that inventories have already been depreciated to net realizable value and in a subsequent accounting period it turns out that the conditions that led to their impairment are no longer present, their new net realizable value is assumed. The amount of the refund can only be up to the amount of the book value of the inventory before the impairment. The amount of the reversal of the inventory value is reported as a reduction in the cost of materials for the period in which the reversal occurs.

The costs incurred to bring an inventory to its present condition and location are included in the cost of acquisition (cost) as follows:

  • Materials the purchase price and all related costs of delivery;
  • Goods the purchase price and all related costs of delivery, customs duties, transport costs, nonrecoverable taxes and other costs incurred in order to bring the goods in ready for use state.

In the use (sale) of inventory, the weighted average method is used.

2.12.8. Financial instruments

A financial instrument is any contract that simultaneously gives rise to both a financial asset in one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument in another entity. Financial assets and liabilities are recognised

in the consolidated statement of financial position when the Group becomes a party to the contractual terms of the relevant financial instrument that gave rise to this asset or liability.

а) Financial assets

Initial recognition and measurement

Upon initial recognition, financial assets are classified as financial assets that are subsequently measured at amortized cost, at fair value in other comprehensive income (OCI) and as financial assets at fair value in profit or loss. Financial assets are classified upon their initial acquisition according to the characteristics of the contractual cash flows of the financial asset and the Group's business management model. The Group initially measures the financial asset at fair value plus transaction costs, in the case of financial assets that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss.

Trade receivables that do not have a significant financing component, and for which the Group has applied a practically expedient measure, are stated at the transaction price determined according to IFRS 15. The Group reclassifies financial assets only when its business model changes.

In order to be classified and measured at amortized cost or at fair value in OCI, the financial asset should generate cash flows that represent "solely payments of principal and interest" (SPPI) on the outstanding principal amount. This measurement is called the "SPPI test" and is performed at the relevant instrument level.

The Group's business model for managing financial assets refers to how the Company manages its financial assets to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will arise from the collection of contractual cash flows, the sale of financial assets, or both.

Purchases or sales of financial assets, the terms of which require the delivery of the assets within a certain period of time, usually established by a regulatory provision or current practice in the relevant market (regular purchases), are recognized on the date of trading (transaction), i.e. on the date on which the Group has committed to buy or sell the asset.

Subsequent measurement

For the purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified into four categories:

  • Financial assets at amortized cost (debt instruments);
  • Financial assets at fair value in other comprehensive income with "recycling" of cumulative profit or loss (debt instruments);
  • Financial assets designated as financial assets at fair value in other comprehensive income with no "recycling" of cumulative profit or loss at their derecognition (equity instruments) (measurement alternative);

• Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial assets at amortized cost (debt instruments)

The Group measures financial assets at amortized cost if both of the following conditions are met:

  • The financial asset is held within a business model aimed at obtaining the contractual cash flows, and
  • The terms of the contract for the financial asset give rise to cash flows on specific dates that represent solely payments of principal and interest on the outstanding principal amount.

Financial assets at amortized cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest rate (EIR) method and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized, modified or impaired.

The Group's financial assets at amortized cost include trade and other receivables, term deposits and cash at bank accounts.

Financial assets designated as financial assets at fair value in other comprehensive income (equity instruments)

Upon initial recognition, the Group may elect to classify irrevocably as equity instruments designated as measured at fair value in other comprehensive income when they meet the equity requirements under IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation and when they are not held for trading. The classification is determined on an individual instrument basis. These investments in equity instruments are held for medium to long-term purpose and accordingly, the Group elected to designate them as equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income as it believes that recognising short-term fluctuations in these investments fair value in profit or loss would not be consistent with the Group's strategy of holding these investments for long term purposes.

Gains and losses on these financial assets are never "recycled" in profit or loss. Dividends are recognized as income in the statement of comprehensive income when the right to payment is established, except when the Group derives benefits from these receipts as a refund of part of the acquisition price of the financial asset, in which case the gains are reported in other comprehensive income. Equity instruments designated as measured at fair value in other comprehensive income are not in the scope of IFRS 9 expected credit loss model.

Derecognition

A financial asset (or, where applicable, part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised (i.e. removed from the Group's statement of financial position) when:

All amounts are in thousand Bulgarian leva unless otherwise stated

  • the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or
  • the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have been transferred or the Group has assumed the obligation to pay the received cash flows in full, without significant delay, to a third party through a transfer agreement; where either (a) the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset; or (b) the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset but has not retained control.

When the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or entered into a transfer agreement, it evaluates whether and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, nor has it transferred control over it, it still recognizes the transferred asset to the extent of its continuing involvement in it.

In this case, the Group also recognizes the related obligation. The transferred asset and related liability are valued on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Group has retained. A continuing involvement being a security of the transferred asset is valued at the lower of the original book value of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Group may be required to pay. The Group applies the same derecognition policies for impaired financial assets.

Impairment of financial assets

Additional disclosures related to impairment of financial assets, are included in the following notes as well:

  • Significant judgements in applying the Group's accounting policy. Key estimates and assumptions with high uncertainty. (Note 2.12.17);
  • Trade and other receivables (Notes 3.10 and 3.11).

The Group recognizes an allowance for expected credit losses (ECL) for all debt instruments that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss. ECL are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due under the terms of the contract and any cash flows the Group expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. Expected cash flows include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are an integral part of the terms of the contract.

ECL are recognized in three stages. For exposures for which there has been no significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. Allowances for ECL are recognized for credit losses that arise as a result of default events that are possible occur within the next 12 months (12-month ECL). For exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, an allowance for expected credit loss is required in respect of credit losses expected over the remaining term of the exposure, regardless of when the default occurs (ECL over the lifetime of the instrument). A significant increase in credit risk is observed in the case of material financial difficulties of the debtor, probability of declaring bankruptcy and

liquidation, financial restructuring or inability to repay the debt (overdue for more than 30 days) are taken as an indicator for impairment of the asset.

Regarding cash and cash equivalents, the Group applies the credit ratings of the banks and publicly available information on default rates for banks in order to prepare an impairment assessment. The Group uses historical experience in order to determine loss given default. As significant increase in credit risk has not been identified, the Group applies 12-month ECL.

The Group considers a financial instrument in default when contractual payments are overdue for 90 days. However, in certain cases, it may consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information provides an indication that it is unlikely that the Group will receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into account any credit improvements. All financial assets measured at amortized cost are subject to collective impairment, except for those in default (phase 3).

Financial liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

Upon initial recognition, financial liabilities are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, incl. derivatives or as financial liabilities at amortized value, incl. loans and other borrowings and trade and other payable as appropriate. Initially, all financial liabilities are recognized at fair value, and in the case of loans and borrowed funds and liabilities, net of direct transaction costs.

The Group's financial liabilities include trade and other payables, bank loans and lease liabilities.

Subsequent measurement

Financial liabilities are measured according to their classification as specified below:

Financial liabilities at amortized cost

The Group's financial liabilities at amortized cost are reported at amortized cost after applying the effective interest method.

Derecognition

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation is discharged, cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is exchanged with another from the same creditor under substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially changed, this exchange or modification is treated as extinguishment of the original financial liability and recognition of a new financial liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income.

The main financial instruments included in the consolidated statement of financial position of the Group are presented below.

Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables are amounts owed by customers for goods sold and services performed in the ordinary course of business. They are usually due for short-term settlement and are therefore classified as current. Trade receivables are initially recognized at the amount of the unconditional consideration due, unless they contain significant financing components.

The Group holds trade receivables for the purpose of collecting contractual cash flows and therefore measures them at amortized cost using the effective interest method. No discounting is applied when the effect is immaterial.

Future cash flows determined for a group of financial assets that are collectively measured for impairment are determined on the basis of historical information regarding financial assets with credit risk characteristics similar to the characteristics of the group of financial assets.

Assets that are subject to individual impairment are not included in an impairment group.

The Group applies a simplified approach in recognizing impairment of trade and other receivables and recognizes loss allowance for lifetime expected credit losses. In estimating expected credit losses on trade receivables, the Company uses a provision matrix.

When estimating expected credit losses on trade receivables, the Group uses its historical experience of credit losses on trade receivables to estimate the expected credit losses for the entire life of the financial assets.

Borrowings

Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, which is formed by the cash proceeds received, less the inherent transaction costs. After their initial recognition, interest-bearing loans are measured at amortized cost, where any difference between the initial cost and the maturity value is recognized in profit or loss over the period of the loan by applying the effective interest method.

Finance costs, including direct borrowing costs, are included in profit or loss using the effective interest method, except for transaction costs on bank overdrafts, which are recognized in profit or loss on a straightline basis for the period, for which the overdraft was agreed upon.

Loans are classified as current when they are to be settled within twelve months from the end of the reporting period.

Payables to suppliers, other current liabilities and advances received

Trade and other payables arise as a result of goods or services received. Current liabilities are not amortized. Trade payables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost using the effective

All amounts are in thousand Bulgarian leva unless otherwise stated

interest method.

2.12.9. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash includes cash on hand and current accounts, and cash equivalents include short-term bank deposits with an original maturity of less than 3 months. The consolidated statement of cash flows is presented using the direct method.

Cash and cash equivalents are subsequently presented at amortised cost, excluding the accumulated allowance for expected credit losses.

2.12.10. Lease

On the effective date of the contract, the Group assesses whether the contract is or contains a lease. In particular, whether the contract transfers the right to control the use of the identified asset for a certain period of time.

The Group as a lessee

The Group applies a unified approach to the recognition and assessment of all leases, except for short-term leases (i.e., leases with a lease term of up to 12 months) and leases of low-value assets. The Group recognises lease liabilities for the payment of lease instalments and right-of-use assets, representing the right to use the assets.

Right-of-use assets

The Group recognizes right-of-use assets from the inception date of the lease (i.e. the date on which the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and adjusted for any revaluation of lease liabilities.

The acquisition cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of recognized lease liabilities, the initial direct costs incurred and the lease payments made on or before the inception date of the lease, an estimate of the costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and relocating the asset, the restoration of the site on which it is located or the restoration of the asset to the condition required under the terms of the lease, less any incentives received under the lease. The right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

If at the end of the lease term the ownership of the leased asset is transferred to the Group, or the acquisition cost reflects the exercise of a purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the expected useful life of the asset.

Lease liabilities

From the inception date of the lease, the Group recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of the lease payments to be made during the lease term. Lease payments include fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) less any eligible lease incentives, variable lease payments depending on an index or an interest rate, and amounts that are expected to be paid under guarantees for residual value. Lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise that option, as well as penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group's exercising an option to terminate the lease.

Variable lease payments, not depending on an index or an interest rate, are recognised as expense in the period in which the event or condition triggering the payment occurs.

In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses an intrinsic interest rate at the inception date of the lease because the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be determined reliably. After the inception date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased by the interest and reduced by the lease payments made.

In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is revalued, if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in lease payments (for example, changes in future payments resulting from a change in the index or interest rate used to determine those lease payments) or a change in the measurement of the option to purchase the underlying asset.

Short-term leases and low-value assets leases

The Group applies recognition exemption for short-term leases to its short-term building leases (for example, leases with lease term of 12 months or less from the inception date and not containing a purchase option). The Group also applies the recognition exemption of low-value assets leases to leases of office equipment which is considered low-value. Lease payments on short-term leases and low-value assets leases are carried as an expense on the straight-line basis over the lease term.

2.12.11.Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a current (constructive or legal) liability as a result of a past event, and it is probable that the repayment/settlement of this liability will involve an outflow of resources. Provisions are estimated based on management's best estimate as at the date of preparation of the financial statements of the costs necessary to settle the respective liability. The estimate is discounted when the maturity is long-term. When part of the resources to be used to settle the liability is expected to be recovered by a third party, the Group recognises a receivable in case it is highly probable to be received, its value can be reliably measured as well as an income (credit) under the same item in the consolidated statement of financial position, where the provision itself is presented.

The Group charges warranty service provisions. Liabilities for warranty service provisions are accrued based on management's best judgment of the potential amount of costs that the Group will incur upon the occurrence of a warranty event, based on the accumulated experience of goods/products sold.

2.12.12. Payables to employees

Current payables to employees

Current payables to employees include liabilities for work already performed and the relevant social security contributions required by law.

Defined benefit plans

The Government of Bulgaria is responsible for providing pensions under defined benefit plans. The liabilities under the Group commitment to transfer accrued amounts to defined benefit plans are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income when they are incurred.

Paid annual leave

The Group recognises as a liability the undiscounted amount of the estimated costs of paid annual leave, in accordance with the Labor Code and its internal rules, expected to be paid to employees in exchange for their labor for the past reporting period.

Retirement benefit plans

In accordance with the requirements of the Labor Code, upon termination of the employment contract of an employee who has acquired the right to a pension, the Group pays the employee a compensation in the amount of two gross salaries, if the accumulated service at the Group is less than ten years, or six gross salaries, in case of accumulated service time at the Group of over ten consecutive years.

Based on their characteristics, these schemes are retirement benefit plans.

The measurement of long-term employee benefits is carried out using the projected unit credit method and the estimate at the date of the statement of financial position is made by licensed actuaries. The amount recognised in the statement of financial position is the present value of the liabilities. The revaluations of the retirement benefit plan liability (actuarial gain or loss), arising from experience and changes in actuarial financial and demographic assumptions, are recognised in equity through other comprehensive income as a reserve for retirement liabilities. The amounts released from this reserve are transferred through other comprehensive income into retained earnings.

2.12.13. Share capital and reserves

The Group has adopted the capital maintenance financial concept. Maintaining the share capital is assessed in nominal monetary units. Profit for the reporting period is considered acquired only if the cash /financial/ amount of equity at the end of the period exceeds the cash amount at the beginning of the period, after

All amounts are in thousand Bulgarian leva unless otherwise stated

deducting the distributions between the owners or the capital invested by them during the period.

Shelly Group SE is a joint-stock company and is obliged to register in the Commercial Register a certain amount of share capital to serve as collateral for the claims of creditors of the Parent Company. The shareholders are responsible for the Parent Company's liabilities up to the amount of their shareholding in the capital and can claim the return of this shareholding only in bankruptcy or liquidation proceedings. The Parent Company reports its share capital at the nominal value of the shares registered in court.

Equity is the residual value of the Group company's assets after deducting all of their liabilities. It includes:

Share capital is presented in the consolidated statement of financial position at nominal value per share according to the number of shares issued.

Financial result is the difference between the revenue and the related costs charged.

Equity is reported less the distributed dividends of the owned shares during the period in which they will be distributed (by decision of the General Meeting).

According to the requirements of the Commerce Act and the Articles of Association of the Parent Company Shelly Group SE, the Group is obliged to allocate reserves at the expense of:

  • at least one tenth of the profit, which is allocated until the funds reach 10 percent of the share capital;
  • the funds received above the nominal value of the shares upon their issuance (premium reserve).

Redeemed shares are presented in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost (acquisition price), with their gross purchase price reduced by the Group's equity capital. Profit or loss from the sale of redeemed shares are presented directly in the Group's equity, under the "Redeemed shares".

In past periods, the Group reported share-based payments to employees in Bulgarian subsidiaries. Sharebased payments to employees related to services rendered are settled through equity instruments. Transferred capital instruments are measured at their fair value on the date of transfer. Share-based payment expense is recognised in the period in which the services are received.

Reserve from recalculation of the currency of the presented foreign activity - arises from the net effects of the translation of the accounts of subsidiaries abroad from their functional currencies into Bulgarian leva, for consolidation purposes.

Revaluation reserve is the difference between the previous book value of fixed assets reported at fair value through other comprehensive income and their fair values as of the date of these consolidated financial statements.

2.12.14. Income tax expense

Income tax expense is the amount of current income tax and the tax effect on temporary tax differences. Current taxes on the profit of Bulgarian companies are determined in accordance with the requirements of the Bulgarian tax legislation. The nominal tax rate in Bulgaria for 2024 and 2023 is 10%.

Subsidiaries abroad are charged according to the requirements of the relevant tax laws by country, at the following nominal tax rates:

Country Nominal tax rates per year
2024 2023
Germany 30% 30%
USA 15-35% 15-35 %
China 25% -
Slovenia 19% 19%

Deferred income tax is calculated using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are calculated and recognised for all taxable temporary differences, while deferred tax assets are recognised only if likely to be reversed and if the Group will be able to generate sufficient profit in the future from which they can be deducted.

The effect of recognising deferred tax assets and/or liabilities is reported where the effect of the event that gave rise to them is presented.

For events affecting profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the effect of deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

For events that are initially recognised in equity (revaluation reserve) deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Deferred tax assets and/or liabilities are presented offset the consolidated statement of financial position as they are subject to a uniform taxation regime in the country.

As of December 31, 2024, the Group recognises income tax expenses only for Bulgarian companies and at a 10% tax rate, for the German entity at 30% tax rate, for the Chinese entity at 25% tax rate and for the Slovenian entity at 19% tax rate.

2.12.15. Earnings per share

Earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares held for the period.

The weighted average number of shares is the number of ordinary shares held at the beginning of the period, adjusted by the number of ordinary shares repurchased and newly issued during the period, multiplied by

All amounts are in thousand Bulgarian leva unless otherwise stated

the time average factor. This factor represents the number of days particular shares were held compared to the total number of days during the period.

Diluted earnings per share are not calculated because there are no potentially diluted shares issued.

2.12.16. Significant judgements in applying the Group's accounting policy

Key estimates and assumptions with high uncertainty

When applying the accounting policy, the Group's management makes certain estimates that have a significant effect on these financial statements. Such estimates, by definition, rarely equal actual results.

Given their nature, these estimates are subject to ongoing review and updating and summarize historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that management believes are reasonable under current circumstances.

Estimates and assumptions that carry a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the next financial year are set out below.

Defined benefit plans

The employee defined benefit obligation is determined by actuarial valuation. This estimate requires assumptions on the discount rate, future wage growth, staff turnover and mortality rates. Due to the longterm nature of defined benefit plans, these assumptions are subject to significant uncertainty. The Group prepared an actuarial valuation of defined benefits and reported them in the consolidated financial statements at the end of 2024 and 2023, respectively (note 3.15).

Useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets

Financial reporting of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets includes the use of estimates of their expected useful lives and carrying amounts, based on the Group management's judgments.

Impairment of receivables

Management estimates the volume and timing of expected future cash flows related to receivables based on experience versus current circumstances. Due to the inherent uncertainty of this estimate, actual results may differ. Group's management compares prior year estimates with actual results.

The Group uses a simplified approach in reporting trade and other receivables and recognises an impairment loss as expected credit losses over the entire term. They represent the expected shortfall in contractual cash flows, given the possibility of default at any point in the life of the financial instrument. The Group uses its experience, external indicators and information to calculate expected credit losses in the long-term.

Impairment of property, plant and equipment

At the date of preparation of the financial statements, the Group's management organizes an impairment

review of property, plant and equipment.

As of December 31, 2024, such review was carried out, as a result of which management considered that no impairment indicators were available. No impairment loss on property, plant and equipment is reported in the consolidated financial statements.

Impairment of inventories

At the date of preparation of the financial statements, the Group's management reviews and analyses existing inventories. A review and analysis of all available inventories is made in terms of basic indicators – uniformity, commercial appearance, expiry date, etc., and expert prices are determined.

The proposed expert prices are consistent with the prices reached under concluded contracts for realization on the domestic and foreign markets, the dynamics of supply and demand of inventories, the latest price levels and trends in transactions with similar inventories. For the calculation of the net realisable value of individual types of inventories, the estimated direct costs associated with sales are excluded from determined expert selling prices. When assessing the inventories for which sales contracts are concluded, the net realisable value is determined based on the contract price less the cost of sales. Inventories not related to sales contracts are valued according to assumptions about the possibilities for their future disposal.

As of December 31, 2024, the Group has not recognized an impairment of inventory.

The impairment of inventories is calculated as the difference between their carrying amount, as recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position prior to review and analysis, and their net realisable value, determined on the basis of expert prices as set out above.

Income taxes

The companies in the Group are tax entities under the jurisdiction of the tax administration in the country in which they operate. A significant estimate needs to be made to determine the tax provision. There are numerous examples for which the tax finally determined is unspecified in the normal course of business. Group companies recognise liabilities for expected tax payables based on the judgement of the management of the relevant company and the Group. When the final tax result of such events is different from the amounts originally recognized, those differences will affect current income tax and deferred tax provisions in the tax revisions period.

Leases

Determining the lease term for contracts with renewal and termination options – the Group as a lessee

The Group defines the lease term as the irrevocable term of the lease, together with any periods covered by an option to extend it if it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised, or any periods covered by a termination option if it is reasonably certain that the option will not be exercised (note 3.14).

2.12.17. Fair values

Some of the Group's accounting policies and disclosures require a fair value measurement of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities.

When measuring the fair value of an asset or liability, the Group uses observable data as far as possible.

Fair values are categorized at different levels in the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:

  • Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for similar assets or liabilities.
  • Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that, directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices), are available for observation for the asset or liability.
  • Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable input data).

If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or liability can be categorized at different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety at that level of the fair value hierarchy whose input information is relevant to the overall assessment.

The Group recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period in which the change occurs. In 2024 and 2023 there have been no transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy.

More information on the assumptions made in measuring fair values is included in the relevant notes.

8. Financial risk management

In the course of their usual business activity, the companies of the Group may be exposed to various financial risks, the most important of which are: market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The overall risk management is focused on forecasting changes in financial markets in order to minimize the potential negative effects that could affect the financial results. Financial risks are currently identified, measured and monitored using various control mechanisms to adequately assess market conditions and their effects by the companies of the Group to avoid unjustified concentration of any specific risk.

Risk management is carried out on an ongoing basis under the direct supervision of the management and the Group's financial experts in accordance with the policy set by the Board of Directors of the Parent Company who developed the basic principles of general financial risk management. Based on these principles, the specific procedures for managing separate specific financial risks have been defined.

The following describes the different types of risks to which the companies within the Group are exposed, as well as the approach taken in managing these risks.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in market prices.

а. Currency risk

The companies within the Group carry out their transactions on the domestic market, in the European Union and in third countries (Asia and USA). The companies within the Group carry out their main deliveries in Bulgarian leva, euros and US dollars. To control the currency risk, a system has been introduced for planning supplies from countries in and outside the European Union, as well as procedures for monitoring movements in exchange rates of foreign currencies and control of incoming payments.

All amounts are in thousand Bulgarian leva unless otherwise stated

Currency sensitivity analysis

The companies within the Group are not exposed to currency risk in relation to their exposures in euro, because the exchange rate of the BGN to EUR is fixed.

There is a currency risk exposure mainly in USD. As of December 31, 2024 85% of the Group's assets are in EUR, 9% in USD. After the acquisition in the Chinese subsidiary Shelly Asia Ltd, the Group is exposed to currency risk of changes in Chinese yuan.

All amounts are in thousand Bulgarian leva unless otherwise stated

b. Price risk

The companies within the Group are exposed to a specific price risk regarding the prices of the goods and services offered. Minimizing the price risk for negative price changes is achieved by periodically reviewing contractual relationships and revising and updating prices in relation to market changes.

Risk of the interest-bearing cash flows

The companies within the Group do not have a significant concentration of interest-bearing assets, except for loans granted and cash on current accounts with banks, therefore the revenue and operating cash flows are not largely dependent on changes in market interest rates.

At the same time, the cash outflows of the companies within the Group are exposed to interest rate risk from utilizing a bank loans and lease, agreed with a variable interest rate.

Cash on current accounts with banks bear interest at interest rates according to the tariffs of the respective banks.

The exposure of the companies within the Group is currently monitored and analyzed to changes in market interest rates. Different refinancing scenarios, renewal of existing interest-bearing positions and alternative financing are considered.

Credit risk

The financial assets of the companies within the Group are concentrated in two groups: cash (cash on hand and at bank accounts) and receivables from clients.

Credit risk is mainly the risk that the customers of the companies within the Group will not be able to pay in full and within the usual deadlines the amounts owed by them. Trade receivables are presented in the consolidated statement of financial position at amortized cost. An impairment has been charged for doubtful and uncollectible loans, as there have been events identifying uncollectible losses based on past experience. The companies within the Group do not have significant concentration of credit risk. Their policy is to negotiate a credit period longer than 60 days only with customers who have a long history and commercial

cooperation with them. Payments from customers for sales are mainly made by bank transfer.

Significant part of Group's revenue is generated by large companies with good credit rating.

The collection and concentration of receivables is monitored on an ongoing basis, according to the established policy of the companies within the Group. For this purpose, the open positions by clients, as well as the received receipts, are periodically reviewed by the financial and accounting department and the management, and an analysis of the unpaid amounts is performed.

In addition, the Group has an insurance on the receivables from 21 of its largest customers.

As of December 31, 2024 cash and the payment operations of the companies within the Group are spread over several banks which limits the risk for cash and cash equivalents.

Management has defined its policy for assessing credit losses. For trade receivables, the simplified method is applied, with percentages determined based on past experience.

All amounts are in thousand Bulgarian leva unless otherwise stated

As of December 31, 2023, an impairment of receivables amounting to BGN 1,516 thousand is recognised. As of December 31, 2024, the Group has not recognized any impairment of receivables. During the period the Group has collected impaired receivables in the amount of BGN 856 thousand and has written off receivables in the amount of BGN 850 thousand.

The Companies within the Group monitor and control the actual and projected cash flows for periods ahead and maintain a balance between the maturity limits of the assets and liabilities of the Company. Currently, the maturity and timely execution of payments is monitored by the finance and accounting departments, maintaining daily information on available cash and upcoming payments.

Capital risk management

With the capital management the Parent Company aims to create and maintain opportunities for it to continue to operate as a going concern and to ensure the appropriate return on investment of shareholders, and to maintain optimal capital structure, to reduce capital expenses.

Shelly Group SE currently monitors the capital structure based on the debt ratio. This ratio is calculated between the net debt capital and the total amount of capital. Net debt capital is defined as the difference between all borrowings (current and non-current) as stated in the consolidated statement of financial position and the cash and cash equivalents. The total amount of capital is equal to the equity and net debt capital.

The table below presents the debt ratios based on the capital structure:

The Group reports a debt ratio of 2.99%, mainly as a result of an increased lease liability related to the presentation of a 10-year office lease agreement in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 16.

For the purposes of disclosing fair value, the Group defines different classes of assets and liabilities depending on their nature, characteristics and risk and the respective level of the fair value hierarchy specified in note 2.12.18. Fair Values.

The Group's management has considered that the book values of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

The attached table shows the book values and fair values of financial assets and liabilities, including their levels in the fair value hierarchy. Fair value information is not included if the book value is reasonably close to the fair value.

The table below presents the hierarchy of the fair value of the Group's assets and liabilities in accordance with IFRS 13:

The fair value of the financial liabilities included in Level 2 in the table above was determined in accordance with the generally accepted valuation model based on discounted cash flows, the interest rate on the loan was used as a discount factor.

The fair value of trade receivables, short-term financial assets, trade payables and other liabilities approximates their carrying amount as these assets/liabilities are short-term in nature and there are not subject to effects, that lead to different fair value.

The fair value of financial assets included in Level 1 is determined using the market quotation for the price of the asset at the reporting date.

All amounts are in thousand Bulgarian leva unless otherwise stated

We are independent of the Group in accordance with the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) of the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA Code) together with the ethical requirements of the Independent Financial Audit and Assurance of Sustainability Reporting Act (IFAASRA) that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Bulgaria, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the IESBA Code and the requirements of IFAASRA. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Revenue from contracts with customers

The Group's disclosures about revenue from contracts with customers are included in Notes 2.12.1 and 4.01 to the consolidated financial statements.

In the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, the Group has recognized revenue from contracts with customers amounting to BGN 208,704 thousand. This revenue is recorded predominantly as a result of sales of electronic devices to business clients and to direct end-customers.

In developing a policy for revenue recognition in accordance with IFRS 15 the management of the Group has applied various judgments, related to determining the nature of the separate performance obligations within the contracts with customers and the manner of satisfaction of the identified performance obligations.

The management of the Group analyses every year the necessity for review of the previously applied judgments. During 2024 the assessment of the Group is that no changes to judgments are necessary.

Because of the significance of revenue from contracts with customers, we have identified this area as a key audit matter.

In this area our audit procedures, among others, included:

• Understanding and performing walkthrough of the process for revenue recognition.

•Testing of the design, implementation and operating effectiveness of selected key controls related to the processes for recognizing revenue.

• We have reviewed the significant accounting judgements and determined their reasonableness based on the IFRS Accounting Standards requirements for recognition and measurement of revenue from contracts with customers.

• We assessed the conclusions of the significant accounting judgements made by the Group by assessing the audit evidence received in the course of understanding and testing the design, implementation and operating effectiveness of key controls over the revenue process and through performing substantive procedures.

• We have performed analytical procedures and tests of details as appropriate in order to gain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence that revenue from contracts with customers is presented fairly, in all material respects.

• We have assessed the appropriateness of the disclosures regarding revenue presented in the consolidated financial statement for 2024 to determine whether these are in accordance with IFRS 15 Revenue from contacts with customers.

Information Other than the Consolidated Financial Statements and Auditor's Report Thereon

The Board of Directors of the Parent Company (the Management) is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the annual consolidated report on the activity and the corporate governance declaration, prepared by the management in accordance with Chapter Seven of the Accountancy Act, but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon, unless it is not specifically stated in our auditor's report and to the extent it is specifically stated.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information 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, 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.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU, 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 of the Parent Company (Those charged with governance) is responsible for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

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 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 ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
  • Plan and perform the Group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business units within the Group as a basis for forming an opinion on the Group financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and review of the audit work performed for purposes of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance 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 those charged with governance 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, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, 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.

REPORT ON OTHER LEGAL AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS

Description of the subject and applicable criteria

The management has prepared electronic format of the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2024, in accordance with the ESEF Regulation to comply with the requirements of the POSA. The rules for preparing consolidated financial statements in this electronic format are set out in the ESEF Regulation and, in our opinion, have the characteristics of appropriate criteria for forming a reasonable assurance opinion.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance

The Group's management is responsible for the application of the requirements of the ESEF Regulation in preparing the electronic format of the consolidated financial statements in XHTML. These responsibilities include the selection and implementation of appropriate iXBRL tags using the taxonomy of the ESEF Regulation, and the introduction and implementation of such internal control system as management determines is necessary to prepare the electronic format of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements, so that it does not contain significant inconsistencies with the requirements of the ESEF Regulation.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the process of preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements of the Group, including the application of the ESEF Regulation.

Auditor's responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a reasonable assurance opinion as to whether the electronic format of the consolidated financial statements complies with the requirements of the ESEF Regulation. For this objective we performed "Guidelines on the issuing of audit opinion with respect to the application of the European Single Electronic Format (ESEF) to the financial statements of companies which securities are admitted to trading on a regulated market in the European Union (EU)" by the Professional Organization of the Registered Auditors in Bulgaria - Institute of Certified Public Accountants (ICPA) and we have performed and a reasonable assurance engagement in accordance with ISAE 3000 (revised) Assurance Engagements Other than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information" (ISAE 3000 (revised)). This standard requires us to comply with ethical requirements, plan and perform appropriate procedures to obtain reasonable assurance whether the electronic format of the Group's consolidated financial statements has been prepared in all material respects in accordance with the applicable criteria set out above. The nature, timing and scope of the procedures chosen depend on our professional judgement, including the assessment of the risk of material non-compliance with the requirements of the ESEF Regulation, whether due to fraud or error.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an assurance engagement conducted in accordance with ISAE 3000 (revised) will always detect non-compliance with requirements, when it exists.

Requirements on quality control

We apply the requirements of International Standard on Quality Management (ISQM) 1, and accordingly maintain a comprehensive system of quality management including documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements applicable to registered auditors in Bulgaria.

We are independent in accordance with the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) of the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA Code) adopted by ICPA by IFAASRA.

Summary of work performed

The objective of the procedures planned and performed by us was to obtain reasonable assurance that the electronic format of the consolidated financial statements has been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the requirements of the ESEF Regulation. As part of assessing the compliance with the requirements of the ESEF Regulation regarding the electronic (XHTML) reporting format of the Group's consolidated statements, we maintained professional skepticism and used professional judgement. We also:

  • obtained an understanding of the internal control and processes related to the application of the ESEF Regulation in relation to the Group's consolidated financial statements and including the preparation of the Group's consolidated financial statements in XHTML format and its tagging in machinereadable language (iXBRL);
  • checked whether the applied XHTML format is valid;

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
