The decrease in revenue in Q1 2024 compared to Q1 2023 was influenced by (i) the decrease in the per ton sales price of products (-2%) due to: the decrease in the purchase price of metal (ii) the decrease in physical volumes sold by 12%, as a result of lower orders in the first quarter of the year, in the global economic context marked by a decrease in demand, especially in the earthmoving sector; In the coming period, the forecast is much improved;

➢ Fixed assets: decreasing, on the one hand, being influenced by the depreciation of existing fixed assets (cumulative effect as at 31.03.2024: 1,964 thousand LEI) and, on the other hand, by new investments in progress (1,500 thousand LEI);
➢ Current assets remained at approximately the same level at 31.03.2024 compared to 31.12.2023, on the back of:
(i) Raw materials inventory decreased by 5% correlated with the orders launched for the period to Q2 2024 but also on the back of slight decrease in the price of these raw materials;
(ii) Work in progress decreased by 18%, due to the increase in the decrease in the sales price but also to the increase in receivables and the completion of work in progress;
(iii) Trade receivables increased by 4% as at 31.03.2024 compared to year-end 2024;
(iv) Cash and cash equivalents increased by 1,101 thousand lei compared to the end of 2023, on the back of collections in the first part of 2024;

- capital adequacy
The general risk management strategy aims at maximizing the Company's profit relative to the level of risk to which it is exposed and minimizing potential adverse variations on the Company's financial performance.
The company has implemented policies and procedures for managing and assessing the risks to which it is exposed. These policies and procedures are presented in the section dedicated to each type of risk.
(a) Market risk
Market risk is defined as the risk of recording a loss or not obtaining the expected profit, as a result of price fluctuations, interest rates and exchange rates for foreign currency. The company is exposed to the following market risk categories:
(i) Price risk
The company is exposed to price risk, with the possibility that the value of the costs for the fulfillment of the projects will be higher than the estimated value, thus the contracts will run at a loss.
In order to cover the price risk generated by the increase of the basic raw material, the metal, the company has written, in the commercial contracts concluded with the clients, a protection clause that allows it to update the sale price if the price of the basic raw material increases. In the current economic context marked by political and economic instability, there is a risk linked to volatile raw material prices. The company also has a material procurement policy that offers protection for a period of 2-3 months, for confirmed orders, which ensures a balance, for the period in which we reposition ourselves vis-à-vis suppliers and visà-vis customers.
The carrying amount of financial assets and liabilities with a maturity of less than one year is approximated to their fair value.

(ii) Interest rate risk
As at 31 March 2024 and 31 December 2023 most of the Company's assets and liabilities are non-interest bearing, with the exception of bank loans and leases. As a result, the Company is not significantly affected by the risk of interest rate fluctuations.
The Company does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge against interest rate fluctuations.
Currency risk
Currency risk is the risk of recording losses or of not realizing the estimated profit due to unfavorable exchange rate fluctuations. Most of the Company's financial assets and liabilities are expressed in national currency, the other currencies in which operations are performed being EUR, USD and GBP. Most current assets are expressed in foreign currency (69%) and the Company's financial liabilities are expressed in foreign currency (50%) and in the national currency (50%) and therefore exchange rate fluctuations do not significantly affect the Company's activity. The exposure to exchange rate fluctuations is mainly due to current currency conversion transactions required for current payments in LEI.
