President and CEO Jussi Hahtela

The year 2022 marked a turning point for Biohit. We reorganised our operations and allocated our resources more efficiently than ever before. The significant increase in revenue and the turn to profitability are strong evidence that we are on the right track.

In 2022, our revenue grew by 17%, to a total of 11.0 million euros. The previous year's revenue was 9.4 million euros. Cost control and making sales a priority area were positively reflected in the profitability figures. Our EBITDA margin was 14.7 percent and our operating margin 10.3 percent. In euros, operative EBITDA was 1.8 million (2021: 0.5 million) and operating profit 1.1 million (2021: -1.5 million).

The most encouraging thing about the rapid improvement of the result is that there are several drivers behind the growth. More royalty revenues from China were recorded compared to previous year and the sales of the parent company and British subsidiary grew rapidly. The combined sales of different quick tests increased by 30% and the traditional ELISA versions of our flagship product GastroPanel® reached the same growth rate. Geographically, the growth curves were steepest in Europe and in Asia.

New management group

The composition of Biohit's management group changed last year. CEO Päivi Siltala left the company at the beginning of September and I started as CEO immediately thereafter. Jussi Sorvo, who previously worked as a controller in the company, was appointed as CFO in my place. Product development director Minna Mäki resigned in December and the job went to Panu Hendolin, who previously worked as product management director.

All the positions were filled from within the company, which enabled quick and smooth changes without interruptions affecting operational activities. The new management group has excellent strategic and operational preconditions for developing business and profitability even further.

Lagging production chains and shadows in Italy

We did not make it through last year without some bumps along the way. Especially in the second half of the year, we suffered from production chain-related challenges which affected our revenue. We worked hard to solve the logistical challenges and to identify operational risks in general. In the future, we will be better prepared for the various challenges we may face.

It was in Italy that we experienced the most frustrating moments of the year. The Italian state is demanding ex post compensation from suppliers of medical equipment for the budget overruns of the Italian administrative regions in the years 2015–2019. Like other operators in the field, we have vehemently denied the absurd demands, which are contrary to common sense. Despite this, due to the claims for compensation, we had to make a reservation of 250 thousand euros in the financial statements. Our reported revenue is thus 250 thousand euros lower than our actual sales.

Our gaze is tightly focused on the future

Last year was strong for Biohit by all measures, and I am confident that the positive trend will continue in the future. Biohit is a growth-oriented company, and above all, it is a company that has the ability to grow.

Our main themes of the year were clearing obstacles to sales and cost control. We have changed our operating methods to make them more market oriented. Sales are at the centre of operations and the rest of the organisation supports sales. We will continue on this tried and tested path also in 2023.

Our fixed costs are still quite high, but this is a conscious and reasoned choice. Health technology is heavily regulated, and the in-house production of regulation-related operations is expensive. On the other hand, our existing regulatory structure is easily scaled to larger volumes. For a growth-oriented company with a strong balance sheet and strong liquidity, the current arrangement is therefore justified.

Biohit develops, manufactures and sells cost-effective and easy-to-use diagnostics for the gastrointestinal tract which reduces the cost burden of health care and helps to optimally allocate scarce health care resources.

Up to 40 percent of the world's population suffers from upper stomach problems. There is a clear demand in the market for modern diagnostics that save costs and improve the effectiveness of treatment. With determined work, we will take a bigger share of this market for ourselves every year.

Towards the new year with positive expectations

The past year has been full of work, but our eye has been kept firmly on the goals. A big thank you to our staff, Team Biohit, who have committed to moving the changes forward. It is a joy and an honour to work with you all. Thanks also to our customers, owners and partners for your support.

We expect our EBIT to increase in 2023 compared to 2022 (in 2022: EUR 1.1 million). The risks are primarily related to high inflation and the global economic trends. n

Strategy 2023

" Mission: Innovating for health."

Biohit's strategy, which emphasizes customer orientation, quality, and improving operational agility and cost-effectiveness remains unchanged; implementation of the strategy will now be intensified and closely monitored.

Innovative Products

GASTROPANEL®

Gastric Health Test

GastroPanel® is a unique test developed by Biohit for the diagnosis of upper abdominal disorders. GastroPanel reliably evaluates the health of the gastric lining. Launched in 2021, the GastroPanel rapid tests can deliver results in just 15 minutes.

GastroPanel combines four tests to analyze the health of the stomach from a blood sample. The quick test is performed with a fingerprick blood sample. GastroPanelis suitable for diagnosing atrophic gastritis and Helicobacter pylori infections, as well as for assessing the risk of stomach cancer. The GastroPanel test determines the levels of type I and II pepsinogens, gastrin-17, and antibody levels for Helicobacter pylori found in the blood.

ACETIUM® -LOZENGE

– Quit Smoking Without Nicotine

Carcinogenic acetaldehyde is one of the harmful substances in tobacco smoke. Acetium® lozenge binds up to 90% of the acetaldehyde in saliva. Acetium reduces the pleasure received from smoking, making it easier to quit.

The effect of Acetium lozenge on smoking cessation has been investigated in two clinical studies. Regular use of the lozenge during smoking increased the likelihood of quitting smoking by a factor of 1.5 compared to the placebo. Acetium lozenge does not have the side effects associated with other methods of quitting smoking, such as nicotine addiction or possible side effects from medicines.

Biohit´s R&D cooperation across different scientific fields, innovations and applications have established valuable results for the healthcare worldwide.

GastroPanel® tests and Acetium® lozenges are examples of our innovative products for the pro-motion of health and prevention of diseases.

MAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF INTERNAL CONTROL OF THE FINANCIAL REPORTING PROCESS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

Biohit's internal control is responsible for ensuring that the Group carries out its business operations within the framework of current regulations and legislation and in accordance with the instructions of the Board of Directors. Internal control seeks to ensure that the Group operates with maximum efficiency and that efforts are made at various levels of the organisation to achieve the objectives set in the strategy approved by the Board of Directors. Risk management is geared towards supporting the achievement of these objectives by anticipating and managing business-related risks.

Control environment

Biohit's business operations and administration aim to realise the company's values, of which the most important is to promote health and wellbeing through innovation. Biohit will continue to focus on its diagnostics business and products that bind acetaldehyde – the areas where the company conducts global operations in manufacturing, sales and marketing.

" ...the most important is to promote health and wellbeing trough innovation."

Biohit's control environment is defined by the Board of Directors, which, as the highest administrative body, is responsible for organising internal control. The President & CEO is responsible for maintaining the efficiency of the control environment and the functionality of internal control. Biohit's financial department is responsible for the functionality of financial reporting as well as the interpretation and application of financial statement standards in line with the separately approved instructions.

Risk assessment

In the assessment of risks related to financial reporting, Biohit's objective is to identify the major risks associated with the Group's business operations and environment. The cost-effective management and monitoring of these risks will then ensure that the company's strategic and operational targets can be reached as intended.

The Board of Directors carries the main responsibility for risk assessment and monitoring the implementation of risk management. The President & CEO works with the parent company's operative management and subsidiaries' managers to ensure that the Group's risk management is duly arranged. The parent company's 17 operative management is responsible for identifying and managing the risks involved within each business area, while the subsidiaries' Management Teams are responsible for those in their own market areas.

Risk management is one of the areas covered by Biohit's internal control processes, which regularly monitor the risks associated with the company's business operations, identify any changes and, if necessary, take appropriate action to hedge against them. Risk management focuses on ensuring the continuity of business operations and preventing financial misconduct.

Control measures

Internal control measures are integrated into the Group's general business management and reporting process. The subsidiaries report to Group Management on business and earnings trends and the most significant deviations on a monthly and quarterly basis. The Group's Management Team reports to the Board of Directors on the overall development of business; these two bodies, together with the President & CEO, decide on overall corporate strategies and procedures guiding the operations of the Group.

The subsidiaries' Boards follow business developments and ensure that the parent company's approved instructions and guidelines are followed. As a rule, the Boards of Directors of the subsidiaries meet monthly. Board work in the subsidiaries is based on financial reports and the written monthly and annual reports drawn up by subsidiary management.

Biohit's business control is carried out in accordance with the management system described above. The company provides the reporting systems necessary for business and financial management. The financial department of the parent company provides instructions for drawing up annual and interim financial statements and prepares the consolidated financial statements.

The parent company's finance department retains central control of funding and administrative matters within the framework of the instructions provided by the Board of Directors and the President & CEO and is also responsible for the management of interest and exchange rate risks. The Managing Directors of the subsidiaries ensure that the subsidiaries' reporting is carried out in accordance with the instructions given by the Group's Management Team.

The parent company's administration department controls and provides instructions on Group-level personnel policies and anymagreements made within the Group.

Monitoring

Biohit aims to provide all its stakeholders with information about the company's operations in a proactive, consistent and timely manner. The company seeks to take the special requirements and interests of all its stakeholders into account in its communications in order to increase confidence in the company and thereby promote its business operations. Biohit's Board of Directors has approved an information release policy with a view to ensuring the accuracy and reliability of any information released. The policy also specifies who is responsible for communications in different situations.

Biohit's financial department regularly provides information on processes related to financial administration reporting. This ensures the real-time availability of data, which is a prerequisite for efficient internal control.

Financial administration guidelines and the company's information release policy aim to ensure the promptness and comprehensiveness of communications and the release of information required for internal control purposes.

The efficiency of internal controls on financial reporting is overseen by the Board of Directors, the President & CEO, Management Team members, and the Managing Directors of subsidiaries. Control focuses on following weekly and monthly financial reports and forecasts and analysing any deviations from business plans. Monitoring is performed at all Board and Management Team meetings where reports are reviewed. It is supported by regular contact between Group Management and the company's auditor, and analysis of any deviations, which occurs at least once per quarter.

The audit frameworks for the Group's subsidiaries and key audit areas are jointly defined by the Group's financial management and the chief auditor. Biohit has not appointed a separately organised function for internal auditing purposes, but Biohit's financial department has responsibility to implement it in practise.

The Group has internal control reporting systems required for financial management and monitoring business development. The reporting systems produce monthly financial data, so that financial management can ensure compliance with the parent company's approved instructions on matters such as authorisation.

The Group's auditor and the auditors of each subsidiary evaluate the effectiveness of the internal control system in connection with the external audit.

AUDIT 2022

The auditor elected by the AGM is responsible for Biohit's statutory audit. According to the Articles of Association, the company must have one auditing body approved by the Central Chamber of Commerce. The 2022 Annual General Meeting re-elected auditing firm PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy as the company's auditor for a one-year term, with Tiina Puukkoniemi, Authorised Public Accountant, as chief auditor.

Auditor and auditor's fees

The 2022 Annual General Meeting decided to pay auditor's fees in accordance with the auditor's invoice. The Group's invoiced auditors' fees for the 2022 financial period totalled EUR 59,000 (EUR 54,000 in 2021). In addition to this, PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy was paid a total of EUR 66,000 for other services (EUR 60,000 in 2021).

BALANCE SHEET, FINANCING AND OPERATIONAL CONTINUITY

On the 31 December 2022 the balance sheet totalled EUR 11.0 million (EUR 9.6 million 31 Dec 2021). At the end of the reporting period our equity ratio stood at 68.3% (76.3% 31 Dec 2021).

Profitable financial period increased the balance sheet.

Biohit Oyj has a stable financing position. On the 31 December 2022 company's financial assets totalled EUR 5.9 million (EUR 4.6 million) which does not include Genetic Analysis AS shares.

The company has managed to keep its working capital on a good level and the management believes that working capital will cover the operations for the next 12 months and the company is not dependent on external financing to be able to guarantee the continuity of its operations.

Cash flow from operating activities was EUR 1.8 million during the review period and EUR 0.9 million during the second half of the year. Company's management assessment is that company's ability to continue its operations is good and there are no indications towards events or circumstances that alone or together might give a significant reason to doubt the organisation's ability to continue its operations.

INVESTMENTS

Gross investments during the 1-12/2022 reporting period totalled EUR 0.0 million (EUR 0.0 million).

PERSONNEL

During the review period the Biohit Group employed on average 45 (44) people of whom 36 (35) were employed by the parent company and 9 (9) by the subsidiaries.

SHORT-TERM RISKS AND UNCERTAINTY FACTORS

Biohit's key risks are related to global economic trends, the success of product registrations and the selection and development of new market areas and distribution channels.

Rising inflation and especially higher cargo tariffs are a thread to Biohit's competitiveness. The diagnostic industry is heavily regulated, and this may have an effect on Biohit's sales. The duration of the product registration process is different in each market area. For this reason, it is not possible to accurately assess the time taken for the authorities to handle registrations and for product sales to begin.

It is also critical in the short-term to implement the changes in Biohit's product portfolio and processes according to new IVDR EU regulation, so that the sales of the existing products can continue.

When investing liquid assets, the objective is to gain a return on investment with a low risk of equity loss. The investment portfolio consists of deposits, investment funds and corporate loans. A fundamental aspect in portfolio management is sufficient diversification across different asset classes, investment instruments and counterparties. The investment portfolio is subject to equity risk that is managed by diversification and allocation decisions. The portfolio is also subject to interest rate risk, which is managed by adjusting the duration of the portfolio. In addition, general instability in the financial markets impacts negatively on the value of the investment portfolio.

The Group's investment in listed Genetic Analysis AS is subject to changes in share price and EUR/NOK foreign exchange rate.

Biohit's customer base is widely diversified, with the exception of GastroPanel® sales in China, which currently represents a major single business for Biohit. Biohit HealthCare (Hefei) Co. Ltd. has, based on a security agreement signed on 8 February 2022, pledged to Biohit 1,500,000 class B Biohit shares as security for its obligations referred to therein. The pledge decreases significantly risks that are related to sales in China.

Otherwise the company is not significantly dependent on individual customers or project deliveries.

Balance sheet and sales of the Biohit's UK subsidiary are in GBP. As a result, Biohit is exposed to risk of GBP weakening. Otherwise, most of the company's business is conducted in EUR and the indirect effects of currency exchange rate fluctuations are considered insignificant.

OUTLOOK FOR 2023

Biohit expects its EBIT to increase in 2023 compared to 2022 (2022: EUR 1.1 million).

The risks are primarily related to high inflation and the weakening growth of the global economy.

MAIN EVENTS IN THE FINANCIAL YEAR

Biohit's revenue continued to grow reaching EUR 11.0 million (2021: EUR 9.4 million, growth 17%). Profitability improved, EBITDA was EUR 1.8 million. Growth from previous year was EUR 1.3 million. EBIT was EUR 1.1 million, EUR 2.6 million higher than in 2021. Gross margin rose to 62.2% from 59.3% in 2021.

Growth in revenue was broad based. New multi-annual distribution agreement with Biohit HealthCare (Hefei) Co. Ltd signed in February regarding certain GastroPanel products played important role. Product and raw material sales and royalty payments boosted net sales.

Biohit was granted funding for two R&D projects by the European Union and Business Finland in 2021. The total amount of these grant fundings is EUR 0.9 million, of which EUR 0.3 million was deferred as a revenue to the reporting period. Centre for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment decided to grant Biohit Oyj EUR 0.2 million support for corporate development, this support had no financial impact on the reporting period.

Italian subsidiary made EUR 0.3 reservation regarding Italians state's demand of ex post compensation from suppliers of medical equipment for the budget overruns of the Italian administrative regions in the years 2015-2019. Like other operators in the field, Biohit has denied the demands. Reservation decreases H2 revenues.

Biohit owns 5.71% of the listed Norwegian Genetic Analysis AS. Valuation of the shareholding decrease by EUR 0.6 million to EUR 0.3 million in 2022.

In comparison period 2021 the financial result was affected by the patent depreciation regarding the divestment of Biohit Healthcare (Hefei) Co. Ltd capitalized in 2017. Annual depreciations of EUR 1.5 million ended 2021.

Expanding distribution network and CE mark for GastroPanel® Quick Test

GastroPanel quick test is the further development of the unique Biohit GastroPanel examination which is the most important product for us in terms of revenue. GastroPanel quick test is based on immunoassay method detecting GastroPanel biomarkers from EDTA-plasma or finger prick blood 5 in only 20 minutes. In August 2021 we received CE mark for the plasma version and in May 2022 for the finger brick version.

The global need in health care is evident for reliable quick tests intended for diagnosing Helicobacter pylori infection, atrophic gastritis and cancer risk from patients with dyspeptic symptoms.

Biohit has actively widened the coverage of its sales activities in the global markets. Three new significant distribution agreements were signed in 2022. These agreements expand our markets to Poland, Singapore and Peru.

New CEO

CEO Päivi Siltala resigned on September 1, 2022. CFO Jussi Hahtela was appointed as the new CEO starting on September 2, 2022.

Before Biohit Hahtela has worked at Nordea Markets as a Chief Strategist and Head of FX and Money Market Sales Finland.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AND CLINICAL STUDIES

R&D operations focus on innovations, as well as product development and further improved usability. Biohit also employs external experts and subcontractors in its R&D operations.

Development expenditure has not been capitalized. Research and development expenditure during the 1-12/2022 reporting period amounted to EUR 1.2 million (EUR 1.2 million) of which the second halfyear accounted for EUR 0.7 million (EUR 0.5 million).

Finger brick version of GastroPanel quick test was CE-marked in 2022. The Quick test system comprises an immunological test and dedicated GP Reader device which interprets the result. The Quick test enables first-line diagnosis and screening of dyspeptic patients easier than ever before.

2022 was an unconventional year in R&D. We continued to develop new products and to do lifecycle updates to existing products, but IVDR and MDR related regulation compliance consumed resources more than usually. However, this allocation need was known beforehand, and we were prepared.

FINANCIAL REPORTING

In 2023 Biohit will publish the half-year financial report for period January - June 2023 (H1) at 9:30 am local time (EET) on Wednesday 9 August 2023.

In the assessment of the company's senior management, the company's capacity to continue operating is good, and there are no foreseeable events or conditions that could occur individually or in combination to give major cause to doubt the company's ability to continue operating.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of acquisition cost with the exception of equity investments recognised at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial assets and liabilities recognised at fair value through profit or loss. The financial statements are presented in thousands of euros. The figures presented in the financial statements are rounded from precise figures, so the combined total of individual figures may differ from the total sum presented. Indicators have been calculated using precise values.

The preparation of IFRS-compliant financial statements requires the Group management to make certain estimations and judgments when applying the Group's accounting policies. Information on judgements that the management has made when applying the Group's accounting principles and that have the most significant effect on the figures presented in the financial statements are presented under "Accounting policies calling for judgements by the management and key sources of estimation uncertainty".

Presentation method

The Group's income statement is presented as a single calculation in which the share of the income accounted for by the Group's ongoing operations is presented first and income due to discontinued operations is then presented on a single line. In the 2021 and 2022 financial periods Biohit had no discontinued operation to present.

Consolidation principles

The consolidated financial statements include the parent company, Biohit Oyj, and all its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are companies over which the Group exercises control. The Group has a controlling interest in a company if, by being involved in the company, it is exposed to fluctuating returns or is entitled to such fluctuating returns and it is able to influence these returns by exercising its control over the company.

Mutual shareholdings of Group companies have been eliminated using the acquisition cost model. Acquisition costs include transferred assets at fair value, generated or assumed liabilities and equity-based instruments that are issued. Acquired subsidiaries are consolidated from the moment that the Group gains control over them and divested subsidiaries are consolidated until this control ends. All internal Group business transactions, receivables, liabilities, unrealised profits and internal profit distribution are eliminated when preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised losses are not eliminated if the loss results from impairment. The distribution of profits for the financial period to the parent company's owners and minority interest-holders is presented in the income statement, and the minority interest-holders' share of equity is presented as a separate item in the balance sheet under equity. The minority interest-holders' share of accumulated losses is recognised in the consolidated financial statements up to the amount of the investment. The Group has no associated companies or minority shareholders.

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are consolidated into the financial statements from the moment that the Group gains control over them until this control ends. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the acquisition-cost method. The Group's share of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities on the date of acquisition is recognised at fair value and the amount in excess of the fair-value acquisition cost is recognised as goodwill. If the acquisition cost of a subsidiary is less than the value of the net assets on the date of acquisition, the difference is recognised in the income statement. Internal Group business transactions, receivables, liabilities and unrealised profits from internal sales are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless an internal business transaction demonstrates that an asset has become impaired. The share of a subsidiary owned by minority interest-holders is presented in the consolidated balance sheet under equity, separately from shareholders' equity. The accounting principles applied by subsidiaries have been adapted to correspond to the Group's principles. On 31 December 2022, the company had no goodwill on its balance sheet.

Translating items denominated in foreign currencies

The profit and financial position of the Group's units are measured in the currency of the main operating region of the unit in question. The

consolidated financial statements are presented in euro, which is the functional and presentation currency of the Group's parent company.

Foreign currency business transactions are recorded in the functional currency at the exchange rate on the date of transaction. Monetary receivables and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the closing date of the financial period. Non-monetary foreign currency items have been translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates on the transaction date. Any exchange differences arising from translation are recognised in the income statement. Any exchange differences arising from the translation of accounts receivable and accounts payable within the Group are recognised as financial items, while corresponding external items are treated as sales or purchase adjustment items. The income statements of foreign subsidiaries have been translated into euro at the average exchange rate for the financial period and the balance sheets have been translated at the exchange rate on the closing date of the financial period. The exchange difference resulting from translating income statement items using the average exchange rate and balance sheet items at the exchange rate on the closing date of the financial period has been recognised as a separate item under translation differences in equity. Exchange differences from monetary items calculated as net investments made in foreign subsidiaries are recognised as translation differences.

Business segments

Biohit's product portfolio consists of diagnostic tests, analysis systems, products that bind carcinogenic acetaldehyde into harmless compounds, monoclonal antibodies and service laboratory operations. The company classifies its entire product and service portfolio into one segment.

Segment information is provided to the most senior operative decision-making body as part of internal reporting in a consistent manner. The Group's Management Team is the most senior operative decisionmaking body. It is responsible for allocating resources to business segments.

Revenue recognition

The Group applies IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers. The new standard establishes a five-step model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers.

Revenue is recognised on a gross basis, as Biohit acts as a principal towards customers. The transaction price is estimated separately for each contract at the amount of consideration that Biohit is expected to be entitled to in exchange of the goods or services transferred. The determination of the transaction price is normally straightforward, as Biohit's contracts include no variable consideration such as retrospective discounts. Biohit applies the practical expedient and therefore does not recognise a significant financing component, i.e. does not adjust the promised consideration for time value of money when the time between the delivery of the promised good or service to the customer and the payment by the customer is less than one year.

Revenue for each good or service as well as royalty from license-based business is recognised as a distinct performance obligation, as those are separately identifiable and Biohit's customers can benefit from them individually. Revenue from goods sold is recognised at a point of time when control over them is transferred to the customer in accordance with the commercial terms of delivery, i.e. when the goods leave the warehouse in accordance with "ex-works".

Biohit also has licensing agreement, in which Biohit fulfills the performance obligation at one point in time. In that case, the sales revenue is recorded in full when the license is granted to the customer. The consideration is then variable up to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur when the uncertainty is subsequently resolved. Biohit values the variable consideration as an expected value that corresponds to the sum of the amounts weighted by probabilities. The variable amount of money is based on the management's estimate of the annual payments that Biohit will likely receive.

For laboratory services, Biohit considers that control is transferred to the customer when the results of an analysis are delivered to the customer, and revenue is recognised at a point of time. Revenue from licence-based contracts is recognised based on a so-called subsequent sale, i.e. on the basis of revenue generated from the sales of the licenced goods by the customer or on the basis of the number of goods sold. Where Biohit is unable to receive from the customer the information regarding the amount of sales or the number of goods sold that forms the basis for royalty income, royalty income is estimated based on historical data. In the financial year 2020, royalty income is based on information submitted by the customers.

Biohit has a contractual obligation to withdraw defective goods from the market and replace them with new products without a separate compensation. Costs relating to the withdrawal are accounted for in accordance with IAS 37 Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets. The amount of costs relating to goods withdrawn has not been material in Biohit's business.

Biohit recognises a contract asset when the right to a consideration is not unconditional. The asset is recognised within sales receivables when the right to a consideration is unconditional, i.e. when only passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due. A contract liability is recognised for payments received from customers for which no goods or services have yet been delivered by Biohit.

Biohit has not incurred any significant costs to obtain the contracts, such as sales commissions. Biohit applies a practical expedient and recognises the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense as incurred, if the amortisation period for the related asset would be one year or less.

Biohit applies the practical expedient and does not disclose information about partly or completely unsatisfied performance obligations that relate to contracts with a duration one year or less. Biohit's contracts with a duration of more than one year consist of distribution agreements that are framework contracts by nature and do not meet the criteria in IFRS 15 for the existence of a contract without specific purchase orders for quantities to be delivered. In this case, future sales relating to distribution agreements are not accounted for as unsatisfied performance obligations, and no transaction price is allocated to them.

Public grants

Public grants are recognized according to the IAS20-standard.

Public grants are recognized as fair value when it reasonably certain that they will be granted and that the company fulfils the requirements for them. Public grants are accrued and recognised in the profit and loss statement for the financial period in which the right to receive the grant is fulfilled based on actual costs.

Product development grants e.g., Business Finland, are recognizes as Other operating income. Cost support e.g. The State Treasury's business cost support is recognized as Other operating costs deductibles.

Estimates made relating to revenue recognition

Biohit uses management's estimate when recognizing sales revenue from customer contracts that include a variable amount of money. The variable amount of money is based on the management's estimate of the annual payments that Biohit will likely receive. The management uses the customer's previous payment behavior as the basis for the estimate.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recognised at original acquisition cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairments. Acquisition cost includes the direct costs arising from acquisition. Costs that arise subsequently are included in the book value of the asset or recognised as separate assets only if it is likely that the future financial benefit associated with the asset will benefit the Group and the acquisition cost of the asset can be reliably determined. Other repair and maintenance costs are recognised through profit or loss in the period during which they have materialised.

Straight-line depreciation is applied to assets according to the estimated useful life. No depreciation is made on land. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

Machinery and equipment: 3–10 years

The residual value and the useful life of assets are checked in every financial statement and, if necessary, adjusted to represent changes that have occurred in the expectations of financial benefit. Sales gains and losses accumulated from the disposal or transfer of tangible fixed assets are included in other operating income or expenses.

IFRS 16 Leases

Biohit implemented IFRS 16 for the first time for the reporting period beginning on 1 January 2019. It will result in almost all leases being recognised on the balance sheet by lessee as the distinction between operating and finance leases is removed.

Under the new standard, lessee recognises a right-of-use asset (the right to use the leased item) and a lease liability to pay rentals. The standard includes optional recognition exemptions for short-term leases (12 months or less) and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value. Biohit has decided to apply the optional exemptions and recognises these expenses as straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

The most significant impact of adopting the standard was that Biohit recognises new liabilities and right-of-use assets, relating to office premises and company cars from existing lease contracts.

According to IFRS 16 -standard, the lessee's lease period is the period during which the lease cannot be terminated. Also, a potential extension or termination option should be considered, if the use of such option is estimated to be reasonable certain. The lease term for ongoing contracts is based on estimate by Biohit's management. Management regularly estimates the length of those leases.

The lessee should value the lease agreement by discounting the future lease payments to the present value at the inception of the contract. The internal interest rate implicit in the lease is not easily available which is why the future minimum lease payments are discounted using Biohit's incremental borrowing rate. According to the standard, the incremental borrowing rate is defined as the interest that the lessee would have to pay when borrowing for a similar term and with similar security to obtain an asset of an equivalent value to the right-of-use asset in similar economic environment. Biohit has determined the incre-

mental borrowing rate for leases based on the debt based financing offers received from the 3rd party. Biohit has applied a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics.

The depreciation periods are as follows: Patents: 4–10 years IT software: 3 years Other intangible assets: 5–10 years

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Research and development expenses

Research expenditure is recognised as an expense in the balance sheet. Development expenditure related to designing new and more advanced products is capitalised in the balance sheet as an intangible asset when the product can be technically realised and commercially exploited, and the product is expected to generate a future financial benefit. Development expenditure that has previously been recognised as an expense cannot be capitalised at a later date. Depreciation is booked for an asset from the time it is ready for use. No development expenditure was capitalised on the balance sheet on 31.12.2022.

Other intangible assets

Intangible assets are only entered in the balance sheet if the acquisition cost of the asset can be reliably determined and if it is likely that the expected financial benefit from the asset will benefit the company. Other intangible assets with a limited useful life are entered in the balance sheet at original acquisition cost, and costs are booked in the income statement based on straight-line depreciation over the course of the known or estimated useful life of the asset. The Group has no intangible assets with indefinite useful lives.

Impairments of tangible and intangible assets

On the closing day of each financial period, the Group assesses whether there are indications of impairment in the value of a particular asset. If there are such indications, the recoverable amount from the said asset is estimated. Additionally, the recoverable amount is estimated annually for goodwill, regardless of whether there is any indication of impairment. The need for impairment is reviewed at the level of cash-generating units, that is, the lowest unit level that is largely independent of other units, and whose cash flow can be separated from other cash flows. The discount rate used is the interest rate that is determined before taxes and that describes the market's view of the time value of money and the risks incorporated in the tested asset.

The recoverable amount is the asset's fair value, less costs arising from transfer or a higher utility value. Value in use is the estimated future net cash flow from the asset or cash-generating unit, which is discounted to its present value. Impairment loss is recognised if the book value of the asset is higher than the recoverable amount. Impairment loss is recognised immediately in the income statement. If the impairment loss is allocated to a cash-generating unit, it is first allocated to reduce the goodwill of the cash-generating unit and then to reduce the other assets of the unit pro rata. The impairment loss is cancelled if there is a change in the conditions and the recoverable amount from the asset has changed since the impairment loss was booked. However, the impairment loss may not be reversed in excess of what the asset's book value would be without the recognition of the impairment loss. Impairment losses recognised for goodwill are never reversed.

Inventories

Inventories are measured at acquisition cost or net realisable value, whichever is lower. The acquisition cost is determined using the FIFO method. The acquisition cost for finished and unfinished products consists of raw materials, direct labour costs, other direct costs, and the appropriate share of manufacturing-related variable overheads and fixed overheads at a normal level of operations. The net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs for completing the product and costs related to sales.

Pension obligations

In Group companies, pension cover is arranged in accordance with the pension legislation and practices of the country in question. The pension arrangements are defined-contribution plans. The payments related to defined-contribution pension plans are recognised as costs in the financial period in which they arise.

Share-based payments

In the future the Group might have incentive plans where payments are made in the form of equity instruments. The benefits granted under the plans are recognised at fair value on the date on which they were granted and entered as costs evenly throughout the period during which they were earned. The effect of the plans on profit or loss is presented under costs of employee benefits.

The cost determined on the date on which the options were granted is based on the Group's estimate of the number of options for which rights are presumed to arise at the end of the incentive-earning period. The Group updates the presumption of the final number of options on the final day of every reporting period. Changes in estimates are treated through profit or loss. The fair value of option plans is defined on the basis of the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Terms that are not market-based, such as profitability and specific growth targets, are not taken into consideration when determining the fair value of options. Instead, they affect the estimate of the final number of options.

When option rights are exercised, the assets obtained from share subscriptions are entered into the invested unrestricted equity fund in accordance with the terms of the plan.

Provisions

A provision is entered when the Group has, due to a past event, a legal or factual obligation, and the obligation is likely to materialise and the sum of the obligation can be reliably estimated. The amount to be recognised as a provision corresponds to the best estimate of the costs required to meet existing obligations on the closing date of the financial period. If the time value of money has a material impact, the amount of the provision is recognised as the present value of anticipated expenses.

Taxes based on taxable income for the period and deferred taxes

The tax expense in the income statement consists of the current tax expense and deferred tax. The amount of tax based on the taxable profit for the period is calculated from the taxable profit based on the applicable tax rate in each country. The tax is adjusted by possible taxes related to previous periods. Deferred taxes are calculated from all temporary differences between the book value and tax base. The biggest

temporary differences arise from the depreciation of property, plant and equipment, deferred tax assets and internal margins on inventory.

No deferred tax is recognised for non-deductible goodwill impairment or for the undistributed profits of subsidiaries if the temporary difference is not likely to dissolve in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax is calculated using the tax rates enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the amount for which it is likely that taxable profit will be generated in the future against which the temporary difference can be utilised.

Financial Assets

Group's financial assets are classified in the following measurement categories: amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income and fair value through profit or loss. The classification depends on used business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. Assets are classified as current assets, except for maturities over 12 months after balance sheet date, which are classified as non-current assets. Purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the settlement date. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.

Amortized cost category consists of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and loan receivables where the business model is to hold the asset to collect the contractual cash flows. Financial assets recognised at amortized cost are valued using the effective interest method.

Assets at fair value through profit or loss consist of interest or equity funds or investments into listed bonds. All gains or losses of fair value changes investments in the category is included in financial income and expenses.

Assets at fair value fair value through other comprehensive income consist from equity investments to unlisted Genetic Analysis AS shares. All fair value changes in this category are recognised in equity and any potential future gain or loss from sale of assets will lead to transfer between equity to retained earnings without impact to the profit and loss statement. Dividends from equity investments are recognised at profit and loss statement.

Financial Liabilities

Group's financial liabilities are classified as amortized cost and measured at fair value net of transaction cost at settlement date. Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Financial liabilities at amortized cost consist from loans from financial institutions. Financial liabilities are included in non-current liabilities, except for items with maturities less than 12 months after the balance sheet date, which are included in current liabilities. A financial liability is derecognised when the related obligation is discharged, cancelled or expires. The group does not have any derivative liabilities.

The fair values of other interest-bearing liabilities at amortized cost are determined by using the discounted cash flow method employing market interest rates at the balance sheet date.

Impairment

The credit loss is recognised based on individual assessment of receivable. The simplified expected credit loss model is applied for

trade receivables. The impairment process is based on historical credit loss experience combined with current conditions and forward looking macroeconomic analysis.

Realised loss levels are adjusted based on history, so that they represent the current and future information and macroeconomic factors, that influence the customers ability to make the payments for receivables. Financial items based on trade receivables and contracts are recognised off the balance sheet as final credit loss., when it is not plausible to expect to receive payment e.g. in the process of bankruptcy.

The impairment or credit loss is recognised in the consolidated statement of income within other expenses.

Maturity analyses for trade receivables, movement in allowance account and general provisioning matrix is presented at note 2.26 under section credit risk. The Other financial assets at amortized cost consist from cash at banks.

Concept of operating profit and loss

IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements does not define the concept of operating profit. The Group has defined it as follows: operating profit or loss is a net total that can be calculated by adding other operating income to net sales, subtracting purchase expenses adjusted by the change in the stock of finished and unfinished products as well as expenses caused by production for own use, subtracting expenses from employee benefits, depreciation and potential impairment losses, as well as other operating expenses. All other items, including discontinued operations, are presented beneath operating profit or loss. Exchange differences and changes in the fair value of derivatives are included in operating profit or loss providing they arise from business-related items. Otherwise, they are recognised as financial items. Exchange differences related to the Group's internal receivables and liabilities are recognised as financial items.

Accounting policies calling for judgements by the management and key sources of estimation uncertainty

When preparing the financial statements, the management must make assessments and assumptions concerning the future, and the outcome may deviate considerably from the original assessments and assumptions. In addition, discretion must be used in applying the accounting policies. Although the estimates are based on the most recent information available, the realised values may differ from these estimates. The most important areas in which estimates, and discretion are used are described below.

Revenue recognisation of license agreements

If the consideration of the license agreements includes a variable amount of money, Biohit values the amount of money as an expected value, which corresponds to the sum of the amounts of money weighted by probabilities. The variable amount of money is based on the management's estimate of the annual payments that Biohit will likely receive.

Impairment testing

The Group conducts impairment tests as required on intangible assets. It also assesses any indication of impairment in accordance with the aforementioned accounting policies. The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units are measured on the basis of value-in-use calculations. Preparing these calculations requires the use of estimates.

Deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets for unused tax losses and temporary differences in regard to recognised deferred tax assets are estimated by the Group at least once per year to determined the likelihood of the company in question generating sufficient taxable income before the unused tax losses expire.

Application of new or amended IFRS standards and IFRIC interpretations

Biohit will begin applying new or amended IFRS standards and interpretations as of the date on which they enter into force or when they are approved for adoption in the EU. The consolidated financial statements were prepared in compliance with the same principles used in 2021.

No significant new standards or interpretations were introduced in 2022.

Other liabilities

Biohit uses judgement when evaluating the size of the expense provision for the subsidiary Biohit Healthcare S.r.l. The expense provision is based on the compensation demanded by the Italian state from suppliers of medical equipment for the budget overruns of the Italian administrative regions in 2015-19. There is uncertainty about the size of the actual cost effect, but since the counterparty is the Italian state, the provision has been recorded in full under other liabilities and to reduce turnover.

Measurement of assets at fair value fair value through other comprehensive income where senior managers' judgement is required

After being listed on 1.10.2021 the Genetic Analysis AS share price is based on the stock quote, and as follows does not require the senior managers' judgement anymore. Before being listed, the input data for the valuation of Genetic Analysis AS consisted of transactions involving the company's shares on market terms between third parties. If there were no third-party transactions the assessment was based on the discounted cash-flow model based on the budgets by the management of Genetic Analysis AS.

2.3 REVENUE AND SEGMENT INFORMATION

The company's product portfolio consists of diagnostic tests, products that bind acetaldehyde and monoclonal antibodies. The company classifies its entire product portfolio into one segment.

Other Countries 1,121 941
Revenue from contracts with customers total 10,951 9,361

The majority of Biohit's revenue is generated from distributor agreements for diagnostic products. Biohit's customers, i.e. the distributors, buy and resell the products. Biohit has no post-sales rights or obligations relating to the control over the products, except for a right of return relating to some distribution agreements. The goods that are sold include several various tests for diagnostics of diseases in the gastrointestinal tract, such as celiac quick test, lactose intolerance test, Vitamin D test, GastroPanel® test for the first-line diagnosis of dyspepsia measured on simple blood test. Furthermore, the product portfolio includes Acetium® lozenge and Acetium capsule, which are acetaldehyde-binding products sold under the trademark Acetium.

In licencing agreements, Biohit transfers licensed immaterial rights to a customer, and the customer both produces and sells the products. Licencing agreements cover both diagnostic products and Acetium products.

Biohit also has contracts that include both a distribution agreement and a licensing agreement. In this case, Biohit sells to the customer finished products and raw materials needed for production and, in addition, receives a royalty fee based on the sale of the product. Revenue from the sale of finished products, raw materials and royalty income from licences are recognised as separate performance obligations. In the case of the licensing agreement, Biohit fulfills the performance obligation at one point in time. In that case, the sales revenue is recorded in full when the licence is granted to the customer. The consideration is then variable up to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur when the uncertainty is subsequently resolved. Biohit values the variable consideration as an expected value that corresponds to the sum of the amounts weighted by probabilities. The variable amount of money is based on the management's estimate of the annual payments that Biohit will likely receive.

Sales to one of the most important customers is presented in note 2.27 (Related party transactions)

Contract assets and liabilities:

Biohit recognises revenue at a point of time when goods and services are delivered. The payment terms in Biohit's contracts with customers vary from a payment to be made one month in advance to payment in 60 days.

A contract liability is recognised for payments received where the goods or services have not yet been delivered. This is the case, among others, with countries outside Europe, where as a result of a higher credit risk relating to customers, an advance payment is received, on the average, one month before the delivery of the goods. The timing difference between the receipt of the advance payment by Biohit and the delivery of the products or the results of a service does not exceed one year.

The maturity analysis of lease liabilities is presented in note 2.26 (Management of financing risks).

The Group leases mainly company cars and premises. Rental contracts are typically made for fixed periods of 12 months to 5 years but may have extension options.

Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments:

n fixed payments

  • n variable lease payment that are based on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date
  • n the exercise price of a purchase option if the group is reasonably certain to exercise that option

Lease payments to be made under reasonably certain extension options are also included in the measurement of the liability.

According to the standard, the incremental borrowing rate is defined as the interest that the lessee would have to pay when borrowing for a similar term and with similar security to obtain an asset of an equivalent value to the right-of-use asset in similar economic environment. Biohit has determined the incremental borrowing rate for leases based on the debt-based financing offers received from the 3rd party. Biohit has applied a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics.

The Group is exposed to potential future increases in variable lease payments based on an index or rate, which are not included in the lease liability until they take effect. When adjustments to lease payments based on an index or rate take effect, the lease liability is reassessed and adjusted against the right-of-use asset.

Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.

The standard includes optional recognition exemptions for short-term leases (12 months or less) and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value. Biohit has decided to apply the optional exemptions and recognises these expenses as straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

According to IFRS 16 -standard, the lessee's lease period is the period during which the lease cannot be terminated. Also, a potential extension or termination option should be considered, if the use of such option is estimated to be reasonably certain. The lease term for ongoing contracts is based on estimate by Biohit's management. Management regularly estimates the length of those leases.

The company has classified the hierarchies of financial assets according to the availability of data on market terms and other price data.

The fair values on level 1 of the hierarchy are based on the quoted (unadjusted) prices of identical assets or liabilities on active markets. The group has mainly used valuations provided by its asset management partner as a source of price data for determining the fair value of these instruments, and the company has verified that the price data represents genuine, frequent market transactions involving the instruments in question.

In significant part, the fair values of level 2 instruments are based on other input data than the quoted prices included in level 1, although this data can be obtained for the assets or liabilities in question either directly (as a price) or indirectly (as a derivative of the price). The Group uses generally accepted valuation models to determine the fair values of these instruments, and the input data for these models are based in significant part on observable market data.

The level in the fair value hierarchy at which a certain item measured at fair value is classified overall is determined on the basis of the significant input data on the lowest level with regard to the entire item measured at fair value. The significance of input data is evaluated in its entirety in relation to the item valued at fair value.

The original book value of other receivables corresponds to their fair value because the effect of discounting is negligible view of the maturity of the receivables.

Genetic Analysis AS was listed year 2021. The hierarchical level was changed from level 3 to level 1. Fair value at the time was EUR 889 thousand.

Financial liabilities include trade payables EUR 676 thousand (EUR 577 thousand).

2.26 MANAGEMENT OF FINANCING RISKS

Biohit's management of financing risks focuses on analysing and minimising the following financing risks:

Exchange rate risk

Exchange rate risks are associated with international business activities. When calculated using comparable currencies, Biohit's net revenue not materially different to the reported values. Overall, exchange rate changes did not significant affect the company's profitability in the last financial period. The company's sales are primarily denominated in euros and the company does not have any exchange rate hedging.

Most of the Group's trade receivables and payables are in functional currency of each group company and do not involve significant transaction risk. The Group monitors the translation risk related to Biohit Healthcare Ltd, but the risk is not hedged.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate changes have a minor effect on Biohit's earnings. For this reason, the Group did not use any separate hedging against this risk in the financial period.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk management aims to safeguard the Group's finances under all circumstances. The Group's current financial assets on the balance sheet date amounted to EUR 5.9 million (EUR 4.6 million).

The company also holds shares in Genetic Analysis AS worth EUR 0.3 million (EUR 0.9 million). The aim of the investment activities related to the company's current liquid assets is to achieve profit at very low risk of capital loss.

The Group's equity ratio was 68.3% (76.3%).

Accounts payable and other interest-free liabilities 577 - - 577
Lease contracts 52 155 - 208
Total 630 155 0 785

Commodity risk

The company is not using derivatives to hedge against commodity risks because the company is not exposed to commodity risks by virtue of the nature of its business.

Credit and counterparty risk

The business units are responsible for the credit risks connected to their trade receivables, and they have evaluated the risk of credit losses for each customer.

Biohit's customer base primarily consists of solvent companies. As such, Biohit's risk of credit losses cannot be considered significant. The company has not used credit insurance. The majority of customer relationships are long-term in nature and business relations are active, so the company will become aware of changes in customers' creditworthiness at an early stage.

The investment portfolio consists of direct corporate bond loans, structured products, corporate loan funds, money market funds and cash in bank accounts. Some of the products in the investment portfolio are listed, while others are not. Sufficient diversification of investments between asset categories, investment instruments and counterparties is essential. The company uses at least two partners in its investment activities. Approximately 35% of the investment portfolio is cash, lowrisk money market fund investments and investment-grade investments. Approximately 50% of the portfolio is investments rated BB-B, while investments without credit ratings account for 15%.

On 31 December 2022, trade receivables totalled EUR 1.1 million (EUR 2.3 million).

The maximum amount of credit risk is the book value of the trade receivables.

Total 1,155 -14 1,140 2,264 -4 2,260

The impairment loss is calculated on the basis of historical data and is based on the payment behavior of Biohit's customers in previous years. EUR 10 thousand was recognised in credit losses for 2022.

EUR 5 thousand was recognised in credit losses for 2021, but simultaneously 19 thousand of previously recognised credit losses were returned.

Capital structure management

The equity ratio – an indicator of the company's capital structure – is calculated by dividing the Group's equity by the balance sheet total less advances received. The result of this calculation is then multiplied by one hundred.

The new instructions issued by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) on Alternative Performance Measures (APMs) took effect for the 2016 financial period. In conjunction with the transition to an income statement model based on expense types, Biohit will present APMs to describe the financial development of its business and improve comparability between different periods. APMs should not be considered substitutes for the key indicators specified in the IFRS norms for financial statements. The operational key indicators have been adjusted for certain measurement items that do not constitute part of ordinary business activities or that do not affect cash flow during the period but that affect comparability. The items that affect comparability and the APMs used by Biohit Oyj are defined as follows.

Items that affect comparability:

Certain business transactions that do not constitute part of ordinary business activities or measurement items that do not affect cash flow but that have a significant effect on the income statement for the period have been adjusted for items that affect comparability. These items arise through non-recurring transactions such as:

n Asset impairments

  • n Asset sales or purchases
  • n Expense entries for benefits in accordance with IFRS 2

In addition, Biohit Oyj presents the following APMs:

  • n EBITDA (EUR) = operating profit + depreciation and impairment
  • n Operative EBITDA (EUR) = operating profit + depreciation, impairment items affecting comparability
  • n Free cash flow (FCF) (EUR) = Cash flow from operating activities Investments and tangible and intangible assets + Revenue from disposal of tangible and intangible assets

NOTES TO PARENT THE COMPANY´S FINANCIAL STATEMENT

6.1 ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

When preparing the financial statements in accordance with good accounting practices, the company's senior managers are called upon to make make estimates and assumptions that affect the content of the financial statements. The outcomes may differ from these estimates.

The parent company's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Finnish Accounting Act.

The financial statements present figures in thousands of euros based on the original values of business transactions, with the exception of financial securities, a component of current assets, which are measured at fair value.

Valuation of property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recognised on the balance sheet at acquisition cost, less received contributions, planned depreciation and impairments. Planned depreciation is calculated using a straightline model based on the useful life of the asset.

The planned depreciation periods are as follows:

Intangible rights 3 -10 years
Other long-term expenses 5 - 10 years
Plant and equipment 3 -10 years

Valuation on inventories

Inventories are presented in accordance with the FIFO principle at acquisition cost or replacement cost or likely sale price, whichever is lower. The acquisition cost of inventories includes variable costs as well as the allotted proportion of the fixed expenses of purchasing and manufacturing.

Valuation of financial securities

Financial securities, which belong to current assets, are measured at fair value in accordance with section 5.2a§ of the Finnish Accounting Act. The fair fair value of investments is determined based on price quotations on active markets, i.e., the buy quotation on the closing date of the financial period. Unrealised profits and losses due to changes in the fair value of money market investments are recognised in the income statement under financial income and expenses in accordance with the Group's updated accounting policies.

Investments recognised via the fair value reserve consist solely of the equity investment in the unlisted shares in Genetic Analysis AS.

Genetic Analysis AS was listed on the Spotlight Stock Market in Stockholm on 1 October 2021. Despite being traded in Sweden, the Genetic Analysis AS shares are listed in Norwegian krone. The valuation is consistent with the accounting principles of the Group.

Research and development expenditure

Research expenses are recognised as annual expenses in the year in which they were incurred.

Receivables and liabilities in foreign currencies have been translated into euros at the exchange rate quoted by the European Central Bank on the balance sheet date. Translation differences have been recognised through profit and loss.

€ 1,000 2022 2021 Diagnostics 7,811 6,361 Total 7,811 6,361

Principle for revenue recognition

When calculating net sales, indirect sales taxes and discounts are deducted from sales revenues. Sales of work performances are recognised when they are handed over.

Maintenance and repairs

Maintenance and repair expenses are recognised as expenses for the financial period.

Pensions

The company's statutory pension cover and any applicable additional benefits is insured by a pension insurance company. Pension expenses are recognised on the basis of work performed by employees during working hours.

No deferred taxes have been recognised on the balance sheet. In accordance with general guidelines issued by the Accounting Board on 12 September 2006, the amounts of deferred taxes that must be entered into the balance sheet are presented in the notes, along with the amounts of tax liabilities and assets that should not be entered into the balance sheet because they are unlikely to be realised.

8. Auditor's Report

REPORT ON THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

OPINION

In our opinion

  • n the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the group's financial position and financial performance and cash flows in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU
  • n the financial statements give a true and fair view of the parent company's financial performance and financial position in accor dance with the laws and regulations governing the preparation of the financial statements in Finland and comply with statutory requirements.

Our opinion is consistent with the additional report to the Board of Directors.

What we have audited

We have audited the financial statements of Biohit Oyj (business identity code 0703582-0) for the year ended 31 December 2022. The financial statements comprise:

n the consolidated balance sheet, consolidated comprehensive income statement, statement of changes in consolidated shareholders' equity, consolidated cash flow statement, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies

n the parent company's balance sheet, income statement, statement of cash flows and notes.

BASIS FOR OPINION

We conducted our audit in accordance with good auditing practice in Finland. Our responsibilities under good auditing practice are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report.

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

Independence

We are independent of the parent company and of the group companies in accordance with the ethical requirements that are applicable in Finland and are relevant to our audit, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.

To the best of our knowledge and belief, the non-audit services that we have provided to the parent company and to the group companies are in accordance with the applicable law and regulations in Finland and we have not provided non-audit services that are prohibited under Article 5(1) of Regulation (EU) No 537/2014. The non-audit services that we have provided are disclosed in note 2.9 to the Financial Statements.

OUR AUDIT APPROACH

Overview

Materiality:

n Overall group materiality: € 110 thousand

Audit scope:

n In addition to the parent company, our group scope consists of two foreign subsidiaries.

Key audit matter:

  • n Cut-off of Revenue recognition
  • n Royalty income from License included in Distribution Agreement (Biohit HealthCare (Hefei) Co. Ltd)

As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risks of material misstatement in the financial statements. In particular, we considered where management made subjective judgements; for example, in respect of significant accounting estimates that involved making assumptions and considering future events that are inherently uncertain.

MATERIALITY

The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. An audit is designed to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered material if individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements.

Based on our professional judgement, we determined certain quantitative thresholds for materiality, including the overall group materiality for the consolidated financial statements as set out in the table below. These, together with qualitative considerations, helped us to determine the scope of our audit and the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements on the financial statements as a whole.

Overall group materiality € 110 thousand (€ 85 thousand in 2021)
How we determined it We used total assets as benchmark and 1 % rule of thumb to deter
mine overall group materiality.
Rationale for the materiality benchmark applied Based on our assessment the total assets provide a more solid base
for determining the materiality than the commonly used income state
ment based benchmarks.

How we tailored our group audit scope

We tailored the scope of our audit, taking into account the structure of the group, the accounting processes and controls, and the industry in which the group operates. Biohit Oyj is a Finnish biotechnology company operating on global markets, which has foreign subsidiaries in Great Britain and Italy.

We determined the type of work that needed to be performed at group companies. This work was performed by the group audit team. Audit was performed for the parent company and for Biohit Healthcare Ltd, UK. For the Italian subsidiary, we performed selected audit procedures on specified account balances as well as analytical procedures. In addition, we performed audit procedures on the group level.

By performing the procedures above, we have obtained sufficient and appropriate evidence regarding the financial information of the Group as a whole to provide a basis for our opinion on the consolidated financial statements.

KEY AUDIT MATTERS

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

As in all of our audits, we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including among other matters consideration of whether there was evidence of bias that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.

KEY AUDIT MATTER IN THE AUDIT OF THE GROUP Cut-off of Revenue recognition

Refer to the financial statements accounting principles and the financial statements note 2.3 Net sales and segment information

Biohit Oyj ("Biohit") is a Finnish Biotechnology company operating on global markets. Biohit's product portfolio consists of diagnostic tests, analysis systems, products that bind carcinogen acetaldehyde in monoclonal antibodies and service laboratory operations. The Group's revenue is predominately generated from distribution agreements signed with several distributors who then sell the products further to healthcare operators.

Revenue from distribution agreement-based product sales is recognised at a point of time when the control has transferred to a distributor in accordance with delivery terms.

We determined cut-off of revenue recognition as an audit focus area, as there is a risk that revenue in the financial statements is recognised in an incorrect period due to either errors or fraud.

Royalty income from License included in Distribution Agreement (Biohit HealthCare (Hefei) Co. Ltd)

Refer to the financial statements accounting principles and the financial statements note 2.3, Net sales and segment information and note 2.27 Related party transactions

Biohit Oyj's shareholder Biohit HealthCare (Hefei) Co. Ltd ("Hefei") acts as the exclusive distributor of Biohit's certain GastroPanel® products in China. The parties have in February 2022 agreed on new multiannual distribution agreement for certain GastroPanel products in China.

HOW OUR AUDIT ADDRESSED THE KEY AUDIT MATTER

We gained an understanding of the revenue recognition process and we performed substantive audit procedures to ensure revenue is recorded in the correct period. Our substantive audit procedures included:

  • n testing a sample of selected distribution agreements to ensure the correctness of revenue recognition criteria applied
  • n testing revenue transaction that occurred close to the year end
  • n testing certain revenue related balances recognised in the balance sheet
  • n testing a sample of revenue transactions occurred during the year
  • n testing the basis for revenue recognition cut-off for selected manual journal entries posted in revenue accounts
  • n auditing the notes and accounting principles regarding revenue recognition

We obtained understanding of the impact of the new distribution agreement to royalty income from license and related balance sheet items. Our substantive audit procedures included following procedures:

  • n we read the Distribution agreement signed 8 February 2022 and obtained evidence that Hefei pledged 1.5 million of its Biohit class B shares (value approximately 2.4 million euros) to Biohit, as a security for its payment obligations.
  • n we made an accounting analysis of the royalty income from license based on IFRS 15.

As disclosed in note 2.27 "Related parties", royalty income from license to Hefei has increased significantly to 2.2 million euros (1.3 million euros in 2021). This is based on the new distribution agreement, its IFRSaccounting interpretation, cash flow probabilities and timing (note 2.3).

As disclosed in note 2.27, Hefei has pledged 1.5 million of its Biohit class B (value approximately 2.4 million euros on December 31, 2022) shares to Biohit as a security for its payment obligations under the new distribution agreement.

Royalty income from License included significant management estimation.

We determined that Royalty income from License is a key audit matter due to the significance of the transaction and due to the estimation uncertainty relating to it.

  • n we reconciled the management calculation of estimated royalty income based on distribution agreement to the accounting records and financial statements and ensured those were correctly accounted for.
  • n we audited royalty payments by Hefei in 2022.
  • n we audited balance sheet items relating to royalty income from license
  • n we audited the notes and accounting principles regarding royalty income from license.

The above-mentioned Key audit matter "Royalty income from License included in Distribution Agreement (Biohit HealthCare (Hefei) Co. Ltd)" is also a key audit matters with respect to our audit of the parent company financial statements. Our audit procedures were aligned with the ones presented above.

There are no significant risks of material misstatement referred to in Article 10(2c) of Regulation (EU) No 537/2014 with respect to the consolidated financial statements or the parent company financial statements.

Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director for the Financial Statements

The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU, and of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the laws and regulations governing the preparation of financial statements in Finland and comply with statutory requirements. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are also responsible for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for assessing the parent company's and the group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting. The financial statements are prepared using the going concern basis of accounting unless there is an intention to liquidate the parent company or the group or to cease operations, or there is no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 good auditing practice 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 financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with good auditing practice, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • n Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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.
  • n 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 parent company's or the group's internal control.
  • n Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

n Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors' and the Managing Director'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 parent company's or 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 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 parent company or the group to cease to continue as a going concern.

n Evaluate the overall presentation, structure, and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events so that the financial statements give a true and fair view.

n Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance 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, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the 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.
