We have audited the separate financial statements of Dalekovod d.d. ("the Company") and the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries ("the Group"), which comprise the separate and consolidated statements of financial position of the Company and the Group, respectively, as at 31 December 2023, and their respective separate and consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and notes, comprising material accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter "the financial statements").
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the unconsolidated financial position of the Company and the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2023, and of their respective unconsolidated and consolidated financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union ("EU IFRS").
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company and the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Croatia and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

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.
Revenue recognized from construction contracts recognized in profit or loss in 2023: the Group EUR 146,409 thousand; the Company: EUR 118,633 thousand (88 and 99 per cent, respectively, of the total revenue for 2023). Please refer to the Notes 2.20 of Material accounting policy information, Note 4 (a) of Key accounting estimates and judgements and Note 6 Business segment information in the financial statements.
| Key audit matter |
How our audit addressed the matter |
|---|---|
| The Group's and the Company's principal activities include manufacturing of complex power-generating equipment, its installation and related construction services. |
Our audit procedures in this area included, among others: assessing the Group's and the Company's policy for recognizing • revenue, including whether the policy is in accordance with the relevant accounting standards; |
| Consequently, contracts with customers typically include one performance obligation which is satisfied over time. |
• testing the design, implementation and operating effectiveness of controls related to accuracy of budgeting process including effectiveness of management review; |
| Under the applicable financial reporting standard governing the accounting for revenues, IFRS 15 if the Revenue from Contracts with Customers, |
assessing the accuracy of contract budgets by analysing historical • accuracy of prior year budgets for selected completed and open contracts; |
| requirements for recognition of revenue over time are met, entities measure 'progress to complete satisfaction' of the performance obligation using a method that best depicts the performance. |
for a sample of contracts with key customers: • challenging management's identification of performance o obligations, particularly with respect to the evaluation of whether the contract relates to a single performance obligation; |
| Given the nature of contracts with customers, revenue from contracts with customers is recognised by reference to the 'progressto complete satisfaction' of the performance obligation which is typically calculated using the 'cost-to-cost' input method which measures the proportion of contract costs incurred for work performed up to the reporting date compared to the estimated total contract costs required to satisfy the performance |
challenging management's assessment of whether the identified o performance obligation meets the criteria for recognising revenue over time vs.at a point-in-time, by reference to the provisions of the contract and our understanding of the resulting pattern of satisfying the performance obligation; |
| challenging the appropriateness of the method used to measure o 'progress to complete satisfaction' (cost-to-cost vs. output based on surveys of work performed) by considering contractual terms and the nature of goods or services promised to customers; |
|
| obligation. The accounting for long-term construction contracts requires management to make reliable estimates with respect to future costs to completion of a contract and fulfilment of contractual obligations. This estimate directly impacts the amounts and timing of revenue recognition since it determines the stage of completion achieved under the contract. As a result, we considered this area to be a |
• for a sample of contracts, evaluating the appropriateness of the estimated 'progress to complete satisfaction' as at year-end by reference to the provisions of the contract and other supporting documents, such as budgets, progress reports and/or surveys of work performed; • for significant subsequent changes in contracts, inspecting their formal approvals by customers; • assessing the adequacy of disclosures regarding estimation uncertainty involved in the accounting for construction contracts. |

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Management Report and Statement of Compliance with the Code of Corporate Governance included in the Annual Report of the Company and the Group, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
With respect to the Management Report and Statement of Compliance with the Code of Corporate Governance, we also performed procedures required by the Accounting Act in Croatia ("Accounting Act"). Those procedures include considering whether:
Based solely on the work required to be undertaken in the course of the audit of the financial statements and procedures above, in our opinion:
In addition, in light of the knowledge and understanding of the entity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we are also required to report if we have identified material misstatements in the Management Report and Statement of Compliance with the Code of Corporate Governance. We have nothing to report in this respect.

Management is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with EU IFRS, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's and 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 Company or the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's and the Group's financial reporting process.
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 auditors' 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 International Standards on Auditing 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 International Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

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 controls 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 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 financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors' 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.
We were appointed by those charged with governance on 12 June 2023 to audit the financial statements of the Company and the Group for the year ended 31 December 2023. Our total uninterrupted period of engagement is seven years, covering the period from theyear ended 31 December 2017 to the year ended 31 December 2023.
We confirm that:
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in thisindependent auditors' report is Igor Gošek.

In accordance with the requirements of Article 462 paragraph 5 of the Capital Market Act, we are required to express an opinion on compliance of the separate and consolidated financial statements of the Company and the Group as at and for the year ended 31 December 2023, as included in the attached electronic file " dalekovoddd- 2023-12-31-en ", with the requirements of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/815 of 17 December 2018 supplementing Directive 2004/109/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to regulatory technical standards on the specification of a single electronic reporting format (the "RTS on ESEF").
Management is responsible for the preparation of the separate and consolidated financial statements in a digital format that complies with the RTS on ESEF. This responsibility includes:
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group's ESEF reporting, as a part of the financial reporting process.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on whether the separate and consolidated financial statements comply, in all material respects, with the RTS on ESEF, based on the evidence we have obtained. We conducted our reasonable assurance engagement in accordance with International Standard on Assurance Engagements 3000 (Revised), Assurance Engagements Other than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information (ISAE 3000) issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board.
A reasonable assurance engagement in accordance with ISAE 3000 involves performing procedures to obtain evidence about compliance with the RTS on ESEF. The nature, timing and extent of procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material departures from the requirements of set out in the RTS on ESEF, whether due to fraud or error. Reasonable assurance is a high degree of assurance. However, it does not guarantee that the scope of procedures will identify all significant (material) non-compliance with the RTS on ESEF.
Our procedures included, among other things:
We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, based on the procedures performed and evidence obtained, the separate and consolidated financial statements of the Company and the Group as at and for the year ended 31 December 2023, presented in ESEF format and contained in the aforementioned attached electronic file, have been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the requirements of the RTS on ESEF.
Our opinion does not represent an opinion on the true and fair view of the financial statements as this is included in our Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements. Furthermore, we do not express any assurance with respect to other information included in documents in the ESEF format.
