Board of Directors’ Review and Financial Statements

Board of Directors’ Review

January 1 – December 31, 2025

OPERATING ENVIRONMENT

The most important factor affecting Etteplan’s business is the global development of the machinery and metal industry. The majority of Etteplan’s customers are industrial companies with several global megatrends influencing the development of their operating environment. For example, structural changes in the global economy, urbanization, climate change, and sustainability are all influencing companies, national economies, and people’s lives. In addition to these megatrends, the engineering industry is influenced primarily by three trends: digitalization, accelerating technological development, and the growing need for highly competent employees. In particular, the application of artificial intelligence in various applications is accelerating. These trends are creating a need for intelligent and energy-efficient solutions in all industrial sectors. The trend of centralizing service purchasing continues as customer demand becomes increasingly international, presenting growth opportunities for global engineering companies. The continued trend of service outsourcing has a positive effect on the industry’s development. Leveraging AI increases interest also in outsourcing solutions and creates growth opportunities for Etteplan. The competition for employees has eased in the prevailing market situation, but there is continued competition for specialized experts in certain areas.

DEVELOPMENT OF DEMAND BY CUSTOMER INDUSTRY

Geopolitical and trade policy tensions affect demand in all of our customer industries. Demand in the Defense industry was at a good level, and demand in the Energy industry was at a moderate level. Demand in the Mining industry showed slight signs of recovery. Demand in the Forest industry and the Metal industry were at a weak level. Demand in the ICT and Electronics industry remained at a weak level. Demand in the Automotive industry weakened. Demand in the Chemical industry remained at a weak level.

DEVELOPMENT OF DEMAND IN ETTEPLAN’S OPERATING COUNTRIES

In the uncertain market situation, our demand outlook was weak in all of our operating countries in Europe. The demand situation has been particularly challenging in Finland and Sweden. In China, the market situation was better than in Europe, but the trade war increased uncertainty also in China. In China’s internal market, the demand for technology services remained at a good level, as demand is influenced by the strengthening of the trend of companies purchasing services instead of hiring employees of their own. In the fourth quarter, demand in the Chinese market showed slight signs of slowing down.

3 REVENUE

The weakening of demand due to market uncertainty, the challenges in the operating environment, and customers’ slow decision-making affected the accrual of revenue throughout the year. Acquisitions completed during the year increased revenue. Etteplan’s revenue increased by 0.1 percent and was EUR 361.4 million (1-12/2024: EUR 361.0 million). At comparable exchange rates, revenue decreased by 0.5 percent. Organic revenue decreased by 5.0 percent. At comparable exchange rates, organic revenue decreased by 5.6 percent. Revenue from key accounts decreased by 1.0 percent. Etteplan’s business is subject to periodic fluctuation due to the number of working days, holiday seasons and the timing of product development and investment projects in customer companies, which mainly take place in the spring and the latter part of the year. The revenue of acquired companies is not included in organic revenue growth for 12 months following their acquisition. STRONGIT ApS is included in Etteplan’s figures starting from January 1, 2024, AFFRA AB from June 1, 2024, Novacon Powertrain GmbH from January 1, 2025, and Eltech Automation i Lund AB from September 1, 2025.

RESULT

The full-year result was negatively affected by the weakening of demand due to market uncertainty, the challenges in the operating environment and the customers’ slow decision-making, as well as significant non- recurring expenses. Operating profit (EBITA) decreased by 0.6 percent and was EUR 24.2 (24.4) million, or 6.7 (6.8) percent of revenue. Operating profit EBIT decreased by 3.0 percent and was EUR 17.9 (18.4) million, or 4.9 (5.1) percent of revenue. The combined effect of non-recurring items on operating profit (EBITA) and operating profit (EBIT) was EUR -2.8 (-3.0) million. Without the non-recurring items, the operating profit (EBITA) would have been 7.5 percent. The non-recurring items consisted of expenses related to organizational restructuring and adaptation measures, as well as credit losses, which were unusually high for us. The net amount of financial income and financial expenses came to EUR -4.5 (-4.8) million. Profit before taxes was EUR 13.4 (13.6) million. Taxes in the income statement amounted to 21.1 (23.5) percent of the result before taxes. The amount of taxes was EUR 2.8 (3.2) million. The profit for the financial year was EUR 10.6 (10.4) million. Basic earnings per share were EUR 0.42 (0.41). Equity per share was EUR 4.84 (4.67) at the end of December. Return on capital employed (ROCE) before taxes was 8.3 (9.4) percent.

CASH FLOW AND FINANCIAL POSITION

Operating cash flow was EUR 32.0 (31.0) million. Cash flow after investments was EUR 18.3 (9.0) million. Operating cash flow accrues unevenly over the four quarters of the year due to periodic fluctuation in business. The Group’s cash and cash equivalents stood at EUR 30.4 (25.2) million at the end of December. The Group’s interest-bearing liabilities amounted to EUR 102.1 (95.9) million at the end of December. The amount of interest-bearing liabilities was affected by acquisitions made by the Group. The Company has granted loans to its subsidiaries. The total amount of the loans amounted to EUR 14.8 (19.8) million at the end of December. The loan term is a maximum of 4 years or the loans have no fixed maturity date. The loans are repaid in equal instalments and interest is paid once a year. The interest rates are primarily fixed or linked to the base rate at 2.07-3.73 percent. The loans are unsecured. The Group´s lease liabilities represented EUR 21.7 (19.2) million of interest-bearing liabilities. The total of unused short-term credit facilities stood at EUR 15.9 (16.1) million. Total assets on December 31, 2025, were EUR 304.0 (297.8) million. Goodwill on the balance sheet was EUR 126.7 (117.4) million. At the end of December, the equity ratio was 40.8 (40.5) percent.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURE

The Group’s gross investments were EUR 28.7 (29.2) million and mainly consisted of acquisitions, increases in lease liabilities and equipment purchases.

4 PERSONNEL

The number of personnel stood at 3,777 (3,803) employees at the end of December 2025. The number of personnel decreased by 0.7 percent when compared to the end of December 2024. In the weak market situation, we have slowed down recruitment and had to increase temporary layoffs in Finland compared to the preceding quarter. A total of 168 (178) employees were temporarily laid off at the end of December 2025. The Group employed 3,846 (3,859) people on average in 2025. The number of people employed by the Group outside of Finland stood at 1,995 (1,921) at the end of December, representing 53 (51) percent of the total number of employees.

BUSINESS REVIEW

Weak demand situation continued in Europe. There was still significant variation in customer-specific and industry-specific demand. In China, the market situation was better than in Europe, but the trade war increased uncertainty also in China. In China’s internal market, the demand for technology services remained at a good level, as demand is influenced by the strengthening of the trend of companies purchasing services instead of hiring employees of their own. Going forward, we will focus even more heavily on serving the internal market in China. The number of hours sold in the Chinese market increased by 5.4 percent. We continued the implementation of our strategy and investments to develop our business during the year to respond to the changes in our industry. We continued to develop our service offering, especially in relation to artificial intelligence, and implemented several customer projects that leverage AI. The market around us is changing, and the significance of AI, in particular, continues to grow strongly. With this in mind, utilizing AI plays a very central role in our strategy period that started at the beginning of 2025. We continued to implement our growth strategy by acquiring two companies during the year. In January, we acquired Novacon Powertrain GmbH, a German product engineering services company that focuses on electrification in the automotive industry and the development of engine technology. In September, we acquired Eltech Automation i Lund AB, a Swedish provider of comprehensive industrial automation solutions.Novacon Powertrain’s figures were included in Etteplan’s income statement and balance sheet starting from January 1, 2025, and Eltech Automation’s figures were included starting from September 1, 2025.

Etteplan’s new strategy period began on January 1, 2025 Etteplan’s renewed strategy and updated financial targets for the years 2025-2027 came into effect on January 1, 2025. Digitalization, the growing importance of artificial intelligence (AI) and data, sustainability and the growing need for experts are key trends that affect the operations of both Etteplan and its customers. The main goal of the strategy update is to generate even more value for our customers and accelerate the transformation and development of customers’ and Etteplan’s business. The strategy period 2025-2027 is called Transformation with AI, and its three cornerstones are Trusted Partner, AI and Technology-Empowered Service Solutions and Success with People. Etteplan’s AI-powered service solutions are at the core of the updated strategy, and the company’s target is to increase the share of revenue derived from AI-driven service solutions developed by Etteplan to 35 percent by the end of 2027. AI and technologies, efficient processes, versatile know-how and world-class engineering methods are integrated into the service solutions. Based on a deep understanding of our customers’ needs, we offer scalable solutions that bring people and technology together and create tangible business value for our customers. We also develop services related to data management and data maintenance that enable the efficient use of AI. During the year, the implementation of Etteplan’s strategy continued, and the share of revenue derived from AI-driven service solutions developed by Etteplan developed favorably and was 5 percent at the end of December. The growth has been the fastest in the Technical Communication and Data Solutions service area, where we have won several AI-driven outsourcing contracts related to technical communication. We have also been successful in increasingly leveraging AI in existing customer accounts in the area of technical communication.

Etteplan’s target is still to increase the share of revenue represented by Managed Services to 75 percent. The development of revenue from AI-driven service solutions supports this target. The share of revenue represented by Managed Services stood at 67 (65) percent. We seek growth both organically and through acquisitions. The sources of organic growth include new service solutions that utilize AI and technologies that produce new added value for our customers. Current service solutions are also enhanced with the help of AI. We develop new data-related service solutions that enable the efficient use of AI for industrial product companies and companies in process industries, and support their data management and maintenance. The sources of organic growth also include our global delivery model and the utilization of nearshoring and offshoring solutions to ensure competitiveness in the growing global competition. 5 Inorganic growth is created through acquisitions. Our goal is to offer services from all three of our service areas in all of our operating countries. We aim to grow in our current operating countries through acquisitions that strengthen our expertise, expand our service offering and improve our market position in selected markets and/or customer segments. Revenue accumulated outside Finland amounted to EUR 199.0 (190.4) million, or 55 (53) percent of the Group’s total revenue.

Etteplan’s financial and strategic targets from January 1, 2025:

Target Category Target Timeline
Utilization of AI The share of revenue derived from AI-driven service solutions developed by Etteplan will be 35 percent by the end of 2027
Managed Services 75 percent of revenue from managed services (Managed Services Index, MSI) by the end of 2027

Board authorizations

The Annual General Meeting held on April 8, 2025, authorized the Board of Directors to resolve on the repurchase of the company’s own shares in one or more tranches using the company’s unrestricted equity. A maximum of 2,000,000 shares in the company may be repurchased. The company may deviate from the obligation to repurchase shares in proportion to the shareholders’ current holdings, i.e. the Board has the right to decide on a directed repurchase of the company’s own shares.The authorization includes the right for the Board to resolve on the repurchase of the Company’s own shares through a tender offer made to all shareholders on equal terms and conditions and at the price determined by the Board, or in public trading organized by the NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd at the market price valid at any given time, so that the Company’s total holding of own shares does not exceed ten (10) percent of all the shares in the Company. The minimum price for the shares to be repurchased is the lowest market price quoted for the shares in the company in public trading and, correspondingly, the maximum price is the highest market price quoted for the shares in the company in public trading during the validity of the authorization. Should the shares in the company be repurchased in public trading, such shares will not be purchased in proportion to the shareholders’ current holdings. In that case, there must be a weighty financial reason for the company to repurchase its own shares. The shares may be repurchased in order to be used as consideration in potential acquisitions or in other structural arrangements. The shares may also be used for carrying out the company’s incentive schemes for its personnel. The repurchased shares may be retained by the company, invalidated or transferred further. The repurchase of the company’s own shares will reduce the non-restricted equity of the company. The authorization is valid for 18 months from the date of the resolution of the Annual General Meeting starting on April 8, 2025, and ending on October 7, 2026. The authorization replaces the corresponding previous authorization.

The Annual General Meeting of April 8, 2025, decided to authorize the Board of Directors to resolve on the issuance of a maximum of 2,000,000 shares through issuance of shares, option rights or other special rights entitling to shares under Chapter 10, Section 1 of the Finnish Companies Act in one or more issues. The authorization includes the right to decide to issue either new shares or shares held by the company. The authorization includes the right to deviate from the existing shareholders’ pre-emptive subscription right as set forth in Chapter 9, Article 3 of the Companies Act. Therefore, the Board of Directors has the right to direct the share issue, or issuance of the option rights or other special rights conferring entitlement to shares. The authorization also includes the right to decide on all the terms of share issue, option rights or other special rights conferring entitlement to shares. The authorization therefore includes the right to determine share subscription prices, persons entitled to subscribe the shares and other terms and conditions applicable to the subscription. In order to deviate from the shareholders’ pre-emptive subscription right, the company must have a weighty financial reason such as financing of a company acquisition, other arrangement in connection with the development of the company’s business or equity or an incentive scheme to the personnel. In connection with the share issuance, the Board of Directors is entitled to decide that the shares may be subscribed against contribution in kind or otherwise under special terms and conditions. The authorization includes the right to determine whether the subscription price will be entered into the share capital or into the unrestricted equity fund.

7 The authorization is valid for eighteen (18) months from the date of the resolution of the Annual General Meeting starting on April 8, 2025, and ending on October 7, 2026. The authorization replaces the corresponding previous authorization.

Etteplan Oyj’s incentive plan for key personnel 2023–2025

The Board of Directors of Etteplan Oyj decided on April 20, 2023, to establish a new share incentive plan for the Group’s key personnel. The plan ended on December 31, 2025. Approximately 35 people belonged to the plan, including the Management Group of Etteplan. The rewards to be paid on the basis of the plan corresponded to the value of a maximum total of 300,000 Etteplan Oyj shares (including also the portion to be paid in cash). The aim of the share incentive plan was to combine the objectives of the shareholders and the key personnel in order to increase the value of Etteplan, to commit the key personnel to the company, and to offer them a competitive reward plan based on earning the company shares. The plan included one earning period which included the calendar years 2023–2025. The plan was in line with Etteplan’s strategy and supported reaching the company’s financial targets. The earnings criteria were Etteplan Group’s revenue increase and earnings per share development. The earnings criteria were not met and, consequently, no rewards will be paid under the incentive plan. On December 16, 2025, Etteplan announced the establishment of a new share-based incentive plan for the Group’s management and key personnel for the period 2026–2028.

After the end of the financial year, Etteplan initiated change negotiations on February 10, 2026, within its Software and Embedded Solutions service area in Finland. The change negotiations concerned all employees in the service area in Finland, totaling 336 employees. The change negotiations were concluded on March 13, 2026. As a result of the negotiations, the company has decided to terminate the employment of up to 28 employees, with the terminations intended to be implemented by March 31, 2026. In addition, the company will temporarily or indefinitely lay off 35 employees until further notice. The aim of the change negotiations was to adjust the operations of the service area to the challenging market situation and weakened demand, as well as to align the service area’s competence base with structural changes in the industry.

OPERATING RISKS AND UNCERTAINTY FACTORS

Etteplan’s financial results are exposed to a number of strategic, operational, and financial risks. General economic uncertainty continues to cause risks to Etteplan’s business. The unexpected changes in customers’ business operations and cost savings are a significant risk to Etteplan’s operations. The company’s operations and competitiveness are based on skilled staff. The recruitment and commitment of competent professionals are important factors for ensuring profitable growth and operations. The availability of personnel, particularly in certain expert disciplines, continues to present a business risk. Increased geopolitical and trade policy tensions make the future more difficult to predict and increase market uncertainty, which has an impact on our customers’ operations and supply chains and, consequently, Etteplan’s demand. Changes in legislation may have an impact on Etteplan. Etteplan assesses business risks annually, and more frequently if necessary, and actively monitors their development during the year. The focus of the assessment is particularly on monitoring changes in already identified risks, identifying new business risks and developing proactive risk management. The results of the assessment are discussed in more detail in Etteplan’s Corporate Governance Statement 2025.

MARKET OUTLOOK 2026

The most important factor affecting Etteplan’s business is the global development of the machinery and metal industry. Market uncertainty remains at a high level due to geopolitical and trade policy tensions. Due to the uncertainty and the resulting weak consumer demand, our customers are saving costs and decision-making on new investments remains slow. Projects are still being suspended and postponed. This weakens our demand situation and makes it very difficult to predict the market situation. The defense industry and the energy industry remain the segments in which demand is developing favorably. In our other customer industries, investments are generally at a low level, and the demand situation remains challenging.

KEY INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND THEIR VALUE-ADDING CHARACTERISTICS

Etteplan’s business is strongly based on intangible assets that provide significant added value to our customers and support the company’s strategic goals. These assets include expertise, technologies and innovations, as well as strong customer relationship management.

NON-IFRS KEY FIGURES

Etteplan presents non-IFRS key figures to supplement its consolidated financial statements which are prepared in accordance with IFRS. These key figures are designed to measure growth and provide insight into the company’s underlying operational performance. This section describes the most important non-IFRS key figures used by the Group. Formulas for key figures (IFRS and Non-IFRS) are presented at the end of Board of Directors’ Review.

Operating profit (EBITA) and EBITA, %

Operating profit (EBITA) is presented, because it reflects the Group’s operational performance better than Operating profit (EBIT). Operating profit (EBITA) does not include amortization related to intangible assets acquired in business combinations. EBITA, % presents Operating profit (EBITA) as a percentage share of revenue.

Reconciliation of Operating profit (EBITA) and Profit before taxes

EUR 1,000 2025 2024
Operating profit (EBIT) 17,866 18,410
Amortization of intangible assets at acquisitions 6,358 5,963
Operating profit (EBITA) 24,224 24,373

Organic/In-organic growth and growth in comparable currencies

Organic (revenue) growth is presented in addition to total revenue growth, because it improves the comparability of revenue growth between periods by presenting the revenue growth without the effects of the last 12 months’ acquisitions. Organic growth is calculated by comparing revenue between comparison periods excluding revenue from acquisitions that have taken place in the past 12 months. The revenue growth created by the last 12 months’ acquisitions is presented as in-organic growth. Revenue growth in comparable currencies is presented, because it improves the comparability of revenue growth between periods by presenting the revenue growth with comparable exchange rates. For the calculation of growth in comparable currencies, revenue for the current period is calculated by using the comparable period’s exchange rates. The figure is presented for Group revenue and organic growth.

The share of revenue represented by Managed Services

Etteplan measures the share of revenue represented by Managed Services (MSI Index). Managed Services are service solutions, such as projects and continuous services, where the customer pays for results instead of resources. The share of revenue represented by Managed Services is presented, because it describes Etteplan’s strategy implementation and explains, in part, the changes in profitability.

General information

ESRS 2 General disclosures

Basis for preparation

HOW WE PREPARE OUR SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENTS (BP-1_01-06)

Etteplan’s Sustainability Statements for 2025 has been prepared on a consolidated basis, in accordance with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) issued by the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG). 15 The reporting period covers January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025, consistent with our financial reporting. The statement addresses material impacts, risks, and opportunities across the entire value chain, including upstream suppliers and downstream customers, as well as societal stakeholders. Relevant metrics and targets have been identified to support these disclosures.

Methodologies and assumptions

When using estimates and assumptions, we rely on the best available data and methods to ensure reliability. We complement gaps in value chain data with estimates and continuously improve data collection and reporting processes to enhance completeness, accuracy, and ESRS compliance. Any methodological changes compared to previous reporting periods are disclosed for each metric to maintain comparability. Currently, our carbon footprint calculation does not fully cover all operations due to data limitations. This omission is disclosed in line with ESRS 2 BP 1_01(d). We are actively expanding the scope of GHG emissions calculations to achieve full operational coverage in future reporting periods.

Value chain coverage

Our Sustainability Statements covers Etteplan’s entire value chain, including:
* Own operations
* Upstream suppliers and shareholders
* Downstream customers and end users
* Society at large

Impacts, risks, and opportunities have been assessed across both upstream and downstream activities through our Double Materiality Assessment (DMA). Sustainability policies and initiatives are implemented across our operations and extended to relevant partners, focusing on responsible sourcing and customer collaboration. We use data from upstream and downstream value chain partners whenever it is available and complement our metrics with estimates when necessary.

Etteplan has not used any disclosure exemptions permitted under ESRS or EU regulations:
* No omissions related to intellectual property, know-how, or innovation results (ESRS 1 section 7.7).
* No omissions regarding impending developments or matters under negotiation (Articles 19a(3) and 29a(3) of Directive 2013/34/EU).

All required disclosures have been provided in full.

BP-2 – Additional disclosures for special circumstances

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS IN OUR SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING (BP-2_03-06)

In Etteplan’s sustainability disclosure, some metrics are based on estimates when direct value chain data is not available, and these estimates are prepared using recognised methodologies to ensure transparency and reliability.

Use of indirect sources for value chain data

Our Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and energy consumption metrics (E1-5 and E1-6) incorporate upstream and downstream data estimated from indirect sources, such as sector averages and proxy datasets. For E1-5, assumptions were applied where primary energy consumption data was missing.

Basis for estimation

When primary data was unavailable, we used secondary data sources such as sector averages and spend-based emission factors, selected to best represent relevant activities.
* Upstream activities: Estimates were applied to fuel- and energy-related activities and waste generation, using conservative assumptions to avoid underestimation.
* Downstream activities: Expert-based assumptions were used for emissions from product use and end-of-life, considering operating hours and product lifetime.

A positive development was the inclusion of more accurate employee commuting data from our recent survey. Etteplan is implementing processes to increase the share of primary data from suppliers and customers, reducing reliance on estimates in future reporting periods.

Accuracy of estimated metrics

The inclusion of estimated upstream and downstream data introduces moderate uncertainty in GHG emissions metrics (E1-6). Emission factors are based on the most recent published data and aligned with relevant technologies and geographies, making them reasonably representative. Activity data based on assumptions or expert estimates may reduce accuracy for certain categories, particularly downstream use-phase and end-of-life scenarios. Methodological choices and non-verified data contribute to variability in precision. Etteplan is committed to improving data quality and reducing reliance on indirect sources.

Planned actions to improve accuracy

To enhance the reliability of GHG emissions data, Etteplan will:
I mprove supplier and customer data collection to reduce reliance on indirect sources.
Replace spend-based estimates with more accurate activity data where feasible.
16 Strengthen stakeholder engagement for better data sharing and standardized reporting formats.
Enhance internal reporting systems through digital tools and automation, including commuting and business unit-level data.

These actions are part of a phased approach aligned with ESRS E1 requirements and will be monitored annually to ensure progress.

MANAGING MEASUREMENT UNCERTAINTY IN OUR REPORTING (BP-2_07-09)

In Etteplan’s sustainability reporting, some indicators involve inherent measurement uncertainty, particularly where full value chain data is unavailable. These metrics follow established methodologies to ensure a consistent and transparent approach, even though a degree of uncertainty remains.

Metrics subject to high measurement uncertainty

In the E1 disclosures, the metrics in the following sections are those most affected by uncertainty:
* GHG emissions (E1-6 ), particularly Scope 3 categories, due to reliance on estimated activity data and secondary emission factors.
* Energy consumption and use (E1-5 ), where indirect estimations were necessary to address data gaps.

Monetary amounts linked to climate-related impacts are not subject to high uncertainty.

Sources of uncertainty

Measurement uncertainty arises from two main factors:
* Parameter uncertainty: Use of secondary emission factors and estimated activity data where primary data was unavailable. Spend- based factors contribute to higher uncertainty for upstream Scope 3 categories.
* Scenario uncertainty: Expert assumptions applied to model certain emission categories, including worst-case scenarios to avoid underestimation.

Additionally, activity data for the 2025 GHG inventory was primarily available for January– October, with November–December extrapolated based on Jan–Oct data.Similar challenges affected energy consumption data for E1-5.

Assumptions and approximations

For energy consumption (E1-5), approximations were necessary where primary data was missing:
* Previous year’s measured data used as a proxy or modelled based on floor area and national averages.
* Energy mix estimated using local or national averages where specific details were unavailable.
* Late-year data extrapolated from earlier months to complete the reporting period.

These assumptions were applied to ensure reasonable representativeness while acknowledging limitations. Uncertainty is assessed as moderate. For GHG emissions (E1-6), category-specific assumptions are disclosed in the E1-6 section.

Continuous improvement

Etteplan is implementing actions outlined in BP-2_06 to reduce uncertainty, including:
* Expanding primary data collection from suppliers and customers.
* Replacing proxy and spend-based estimates with actual activity data.
* Enhancing internal systems and digital tools for more accurate reporting.

These improvements align with ESRS E1 requirements and will be monitored annually.

UPDATES IN HOW WE PREPARE AND PRESENT SUSTAINABILITY INFORMATION (BP-2_10-12)

In 2025, several methodological and content-level changes were introduced compared to the previous reporting period.

Methodological and process enhancements

The DMA process was streamlined to improve efficiency and integration. Key updates include:
* Incorporating prior analyses such as Climate Risk Scenarios and Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD) results.
* Using AI tools to support financial materiality assessments, climate risk analysis, and reporting workflows.
* Applying the ‘quick-fix’ reliefs introduced by EU Delegated Regulation (EU) 2025/4812.

These changes strengthen the connection between sustainability disclosures and Etteplan’s strategic priorities.

Content-level adjustments

The updated DMA resulted in the removal of ESRS S2 – Workers in the value chain as a material topic. This reflects Etteplan’s business model as a technology service company with limited procurement and no manufacturing operations. The revised analysis also placed greater emphasis on climate-related business opportunities, expanded value chain considerations, and provided more detailed reasoning for impacts, risks, and opportunities (IROs).

Comparability of information and revised figures

Due to changes in material topics, certain disclosures reported in 2024 - such as ESRS S2 - are not included in 2025. Comparative information for these topics is therefore not provided, as adjustment is impracticable. For all topics that remain material, Etteplan ensures comparability across reporting periods in line with ESRS 1 principles. No figures disclosed in 2024 have been revised in 2025. Therefore, no differences between previously reported and revised comparative figures are presented.

24 SBM-2 – Stakeholder interests and insights

ENGAGING STAKEHOLDERS TO SHAPE OUR SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGY (SBM-2_01-07, SBM-2_12)

Etteplan engages with a wide range of stakeholders across its value chain. These include employees, customers, shareholders, investors, suppliers, and business partners. Additional stakeholders include educational institutions, students, media, industry organizations, authorities, and non-governmental organizations.

How we engage

We maintain continuous dialogue through meetings, events, surveys, audits, feedback channels, reporting mechanisms, and working groups. Etteplan actively participates in industry organizations to share expertise and promote best practices. In Finland, we are a founding member of Technology Industry Employers of Finland and comply with national collective labor agreements. In Sweden, we are a member of the Swedish Federation of Consulting Engineers and Architects and SVEAT.

Integrating stakeholder insights

Insights from engagement are gathered through management interviews, workshops, employee surveys, and studies on partner expectations. These inputs are integrated into Etteplan’s Double Materiality Assessment (DMA), ensuring that stakeholder perspectives influence planning and operations. By involving both management and employees, we foster a responsive culture aligned with stakeholder interests.

Materiality analysis and strategic alignment

In 2023–2024, Etteplan updated its Sustainability Agenda through a comprehensive materiality analysis. This process included qualitative and quantitative input from internal and external stakeholders and involved the Board of Directors, Management Group, and Audit Committee. Each ESRS topic was assessed using the principle of Double Materiality Assessment (DMA), considering impacts, risks, and opportunities - both positive and negative, actual and potential - over the short, medium, and long term. The results informed our 2025 Decision-Making Framework, embedding stakeholder perspectives and material sustainability topics into strategic planning and governance.

Stakeholders provide critical insights that shape our sustainability priorities and actions. Etteplan is committed to strengthening engagement by enhancing dialogue, improving transparency, and deepening collaboration. This proactive approach ensures that stakeholder expectations guide our sustainability strategy and support long-term value creation.

SBM-3 – Material impacts, risks, and opportunities in our strategy and business model

EMBEDDING MATERIAL IMPACTS, RISKS, AND OPPORTUNITIES INTO STRATEGIC PLANNING (SBM-3_01-12)

Etteplan’s Double Materiality Assessment (DMA) identified key environmental, social, and governance impacts across our operations and value chain. Negative impacts include greenhouse gas emissions contributing to climate change, high psychosocial workload affecting employee well-being, and potential risks related to gender equality and equal pay. Governance aspects such as corruption and bribery risks were also identified. Positive impacts include fostering workforce diversity, providing access to training and career development, and promoting ethical business practices through a strong corporate culture. These impacts occur mainly within our own operations and, in some cases, extend to suppliers and customers.

Alongside impacts, the assessment highlighted risks and opportunities that influence Etteplan’s operations and strategic priorities:

Key risks: Climate transition risks (regulatory changes, market expectations), social risks (psychosocial workload, gender equality), and governance risks (corruption and bribery). Opportunities: Leveraging workforce diversity and training to drive innovation and talent retention and strengthening corporate culture to maintain stakeholder trust and ethical conduct.

Integration into strategy and business model

In 2024, Etteplan developed its 2025–2027 strategy, called Transformation with AI, embedding sustainability into its core objectives. Material impacts, risks, and opportunities (IROs) were systematically considered through:

  • Context analysis of activities, relationships, and priorities.
  • Stakeholder engagement via surveys and interviews with employees, customers, and management.
  • Value chain assessment of positive and negative impacts across operations and supply chains.
  • Double Materiality Assessment (DMA) of financial and impact materiality over short-, medium-, and long-term horizons.

The new strategy reflects these insights through three cornerstones:

  1. Trusted Partner – Deepening customer collaboration for sustainable growth.
  2. AI and Technology-Empowered Service Solutions – Leveraging AI to create scalable, resource-efficient services.
  3. Success with People – Focusing on well-being, diversity, and skills development.

Sustainability metrics and targets (emissions reduction, diversity, anti-corruption) remain unchanged from 2024 and continue to guide decision-making.

Effects on people, environment and financial performance

Negative impacts include greenhouse gas emissions contributing to climate change and psychosocial workload affecting employee health and productivity. Risks related to gender equality and corruption could undermine fairness and trust. Positive impacts include diversity, inclusion, and training opportunities that strengthen innovation and employability. These considerations are integrated into our strategy and operational processes to mitigate negative impacts and enhance positive ones.

Due to the company’s low operational emissions, the resulting financial impacts related to emission-related costs remain limited. However, climate-related regulations may increase compliance costs in the short term. Opportunities include revenue growth from AI-driven and climate-adaptable solutions. Governance risks could lead to financial penalties if not mitigated. No significant adjustments to asset or liability values are expected within the next reporting period.

Resilience and time horizons

Our strategy strengthens resilience through:

  • Strategic integration of sustainability into planning and operations.
  • Risk management workshops and assessments across the value chain.
  • Regulatory alignment with CSRD and EU Taxonomy.
  • Governance and culture supporting ethical practices and stakeholder trust.

Environmental impacts are relevant in the short term (0–3 years) and will increase in significance over the medium (3–10 years) and long term (>10 years). Social impacts primarily affect the short and medium term, while governance risks remain ongoing. Positive impacts like training deliver benefits in the medium and long term.

Changes and alignment in DMA

Compared to the previous reporting period, Etteplan streamlined its materiality assessment, introduced AI-supported financial analysis, and expanded data sources (e.g., ENCORE for nature topics). Content changes reflect strategic priorities, with fewer ESRS standards and data points, and a stronger focus on climate adaptation and related opportunities. All material impacts, risks, and opportunities identified are covered by ESRS Disclosure Requirements. No additional entity-specific disclosures are required.

Impact, risk, and opportunity management

IRO-1 – Identifying and assessing material impacts, risks and opportunities

OUR APPROACH TO MATERIALITY ASSESSMENT (IRO-1_01-15)

Etteplan applies a structured methodology to identify and assess material impacts, risks, and opportunities (IROs) in line with the principle of double materiality. The process combines qualitative and quantitative approaches and is supported by DMA tool. It covers Etteplan’s own operations and relevant upstream and downstream value chain stages.

Methodology overview

Phase Description
1. Understanding context Analyze current state, map value chain, engage stakeholders through interviews, surveys, and external studies
2. Identification Identify actual and potential impacts, risks, and opportunities across operations and value chain
3. Assessment Score each item for impact materiality (effects on people/ environment) and financial materiality
4. Prioritization Rank topics using a materiality matrix (impact vs. financial materiality)
5. Validation Review and approval by ESG Steering Group, Management Group, Audit Committee, and Board of Directors

Assumptions:
* Materiality threshold: score $\geq 12$ for either impact or financial materiality
* Scoring considers short-, medium-, and long-term horizons
* Additional sources: ENCORE, Climate Risk Scenarios, HRDD

Input parameters Description
Impact materiality Severity (scale, scope, irreversibility), likelihood
Financial materiality Magnitude of financial effect, likelihood
Positive impact Scale, scope, likelihood of realization
Time horizons Short (0–3 yrs), Medium (3–10 yrs), Long (>10 yrs)
External sources ENCORE, Climate Risk Scenarios, HRDD

Stakeholder and expert input

The process integrates consultation with internal stakeholders (management interviews, personnel survey) and external stakeholders (desktop review of customer and partner requirements). External expertise is provided by Greenstep Oy and supported by ENCORE and climate scenario analyses. Feedback informs scoring and prioritization.

Prioritization and monitoring

Topics are ranked in the materiality matrix; those scoring 12 or higher are deemed material for reporting. The DMA is updated annually and reviewed when significant changes occur (e.g., regulatory updates, acquisitions).Human rights impacts are monitored through HRDD. Governance and internal controls
| Step | Responsible body |
| :--- | :--- |
| Initial review | ESG Steering Group |
| Strategic alignment | Management Group |
| Final approval | Audit Committee and Board |
| Internal controls | Documentation, segregation of duties, periodic audits |
| External sources | ENCORE, Climate Risk Scenarios, HRDD |

Integration and improvements While DMA and ERM use different methodologies, sustainability risks identified in DMA feed into ERM reporting and climate risk analysis. Opportunities identified through DMA inform strategic planning and investment decisions. Compared to the previous period, Etteplan refined its methodology, expanded scope to include value chain impacts, improved stakeholder engagement, and strengthened governance oversight.

IRO-2 – ESRS disclosure requirements covered in our Sustainability Statements

ENSURING ALIGNMENT WITH ESRS STANDARDS (IRO-2_01-2, -13)

Etteplan’s Sustainability Statements has been prepared in full alignment with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) and the outcome of our Double Materiality Assessment (DMA). This section explains how disclosure requirements are addressed and how material information was determined.

ESRS data points and disclosure coverage

Etteplan assessed whether any ESRS data points derive from other EU legislation, such as the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR), Taxonomy Regulation, or Benchmark Regulation, and confirms that none apply for this reporting period.

Determining material information

Etteplan identified material information on impacts, risks, and opportunities through its Double Materiality Assessment (DMA) in accordance with ESRS principles. Each topic was assessed for both impact materiality and financial materiality using defined criteria. For this reporting period, Etteplan prioritized topics classified as “Critical,” meaning those with a Materiality Score of 12 or higher in either dimension, while topics with lower scores were considered but not prioritized for disclosure. As part of this process, Etteplan evaluated its impacts, risks, and opportunities related to E2 Pollution, E3 Water and Marine Resources, E4 Biodiversity, and E5 Resource Use and Circular Economy, based on the best available internal information and through stakeholder engagement.

Environmental information Reporting according to the EU taxonomy

The EU Taxonomy is a EU-wide classification system that defines which economic activities can be considered environmentally sustainable. It translates climate and environmental goals into detailed technical criteria, helping companies and investors identify activities that make a substantial contribution to environmental objectives without causing significant harm to others. The main objective of the EU taxonomy is to direct investments towards sustainable projects and activities. The EU Taxonomy is based on an EU regulation that defines six environmental objectives. Economic activities qualify as environmentally sustainable if they substantially contribute to at least one of these objectives while doing no significant harm to the others. These objectives are:

  • Climate change mitigation
  • Climate change adaptation
  • Sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources
  • Transition to a circular economy
  • Pollution prevention and control
  • Protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems

Eu taxonomy-eligibility and alignment

The first phase of EU Taxonomy reporting involves assessing which of the company’s economic activities correspond to the activities described in the taxonomy, meaning they are taxonomy-eligible. Then, the taxonomy-aligned portion of eligible business activities is determined, which meets the criteria set out in the Taxonomy Regulation for environmentally sustainable activities. The economic activity is taxonomy-aligned when it meets the following three criteria:

  1. Substantial contribution – the activity makes a substantial contribution to at least one of the six environmental objectives defined in the EU Taxonomy Regulation. In accordance with the Regulation, the European Commission has established a list of environmentally sustainable activities and defined the technical screening criteria (TSC) for each type of substantial contribution in delegated acts.

is therefore minimal. The company’s most significant environmental contribution and potential to mitigate climate change stem from developing its customers’ businesses and solutions. In the 2025, EU Taxonomy alignment was assessed for all six environmental objectives, consistent with the previous year. For the 2025 EU Taxonomy reporting, the eligibility assessment was built on the analysis performed in the prior year and further refined. Both eligibility and alignment were evaluated at the planning level and at the business unit level, covering all relevant business activities. These activities were reviewed against the applicable Technical Screening Criteria (TSC) and Do No Significant Harm (DNSH) criteria for each environmental objective. As a result of this more detailed review, one economic activity that had previously been classified as eligible was removed from the eligible scope. In addition, the assessment of Minimum Social Safeguards (MSS) was updated on the basis of a new human rights due diligence (HRDD) process completed in 2025, ensuring continued adherence to the MSS requirements.The purpose of the overall process was to determine taxonomy eligibility and alignment and to compile evidence of the significance of Etteplan’s impacts. The assessment was coordinated by a working group comprising the director and expert responsible for sustainability, a financial management expert, the director and expert responsible for services, and an external consultant. As sustainability legislation continues to evolve, Etteplan will actively follow regulatory developments and update its practices accordingly. The company is committed to ensuring that future reporting requirements are met as efficiently and accurately as possible.

Minimum social safeguards

Minimum Social Safeguards (MSS) are a core element of the EU Taxonomy Regulation designed to ensure that economic activities labelled as environmentally sustainable also meet basic social and governance standards. The Taxonomy anchors MSS in internationally recognised standards for responsible business conduct. In practical terms, this means that the Minimum social safeguards cover four main areas: Human rights, actions against bribery, corruption, and extortion, proper and transparent treatment of taxation and fair competition.

  1. Do no significant harm (DNSH) – The activity does not significantly harm any of the other environmental objectives. This condition ensures that progress toward one goal, such as climate change mitigation, does not come at the expense of another, like biodiversity protection or pollution prevention.

  2. Minimum social safeguards (MSS) – The activity is considered sustainable only if it also respects human rights and workers’ rights and meet the criteria for minimum social safeguards. In practice, these criteria refer to certain international agreements, such as the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.

Etteplan conducted a thorough human right due diligence process development exercise during 2024-2025. In this project, preventive measures include training on human rights risks and human rights risk analysis were thoroughly examined. The exercise followed the six-step UNGP/OECD model and was assessed from both process and performance perspectives. Etteplan’s country organizations were all involved in the process. Etteplan is committed to operate in line with OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs), The eight ILO core conventions on fundamental principles and rights at work and The International Bill of Human Rights.

Changes compared to the previous reporting period

Upon review, the economic activity “9.1 Engineering activities and related technical consultancy dedicated to adaptation to climate change” under climate change adaptation was removed from Etteplan’s list of eligible activities. Etteplan concluded that its LCA services do not fully correspond to the description of this activity. Although LCA services have an indirect link to climate change adaptation, they do not clearly contribute to this environmental objective, and as such, Etteplan has decided to remove this activity from the eligibility list.

Accounting policy for key performance indicators for eu taxonomy

Taxonomy-eligible and taxonomy-aligned turnover, capital expenditures and operating expenditures are counted only once, even if an activity meets the criteria of several taxonomy categories. Etteplan’s service-level calculation methodology ensures that each revenue, capital expenditure or operating expenditure item is allocated to only one taxonomy category. Non-financial undertakings must also disclose, for each environmental objective, the extent to which their economic activities are taxonomy-eligible and taxonomy-aligned when the activities contribute to several environmental objectives.

KPI related to turnover (Turnover)

Taxonomy-eligible and taxonomy-aligned turnover is calculated as a proportion of Etteplan’s total turnover. The numerator reflects the estimated turnover from taxonomy-eligible and taxonomy-aligned products and services, while the denominator is the total turnover from Etteplan’s 2025 financial statements. This aligned turnover was estimated at the service level and includes only sales to external customers. Etteplan’s taxonomy-aligned turnover is 51.6%.

KPI related to capital expenditure (CapEx)

Taxonomy-eligible and taxonomy-aligned capital expenditure (CapEx) is calculated as a proportion of Etteplan’s total CapEx. The numerator includes CapEx linked to eligible and aligned economic activities, while the denominator covers all capital expenditures. The eligible and aligned CapEx encompass acquisitions, property improvements, and research and development projects, all of which support the transition to a low-carbon economy across the value chain. Of these, 43.6% Taxonomy-aligned.

KPI related to operating expenditure (OpEx)

Under the EU Taxonomy Regulation, operational expenditures (OpEx) comprise direct non-capitalized costs such as research and development (R&D), short- term leases, maintenance and repairs, and other direct spending required to maintain property, plant, and equipment in working order. Etteplan has found that, per the Taxonomy definition, it did not have financially material OpEx during the reporting period. The Omnibus package enables companies to opt out of OpEx KPI reporting when deemed immaterial, and as such, Etteplan will not disclose an OpEx KPI for 2025.

OUR CLIMATE TRANSITION PLAN AND KEY ACTIONS (E1-1_01–15)

Etteplan is committed to climate change mitigation and has developed a comprehensive transition plan to align its strategy and business model with the objectives of a sustainable economy. The plan supports the goals of the Paris Agreement, including limiting global warming to 1.5°C and achieving climate neutrality by 2050, in accordance with the European Climate Law (Regulation (EU) 2021/1119).

Targets and key actions

As of 2025, Etteplan had no investments in coal, oil, or gas-related activities. The company promotes low-carbon procurement and travel policies and aims to increase the share of taxonomy-eligible and taxonomy-aligned revenue in its business portfolio. Actions and targets for climate change mitigation are detailed in sections E1-4 and E1-3.

Etteplan’s climate transition plan includes a target to reduce Scope 1, 2 and 3 greenhouse gas emissions by 42% by 2030, with 2022 as the base year. This target is aligned with the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) pathway, consistent with a 1.5°C scenario. The target was established following a Double Materiality Assessment (DMA) in 2023. Key decarbonization levers include reducing office energy consumption, promoting low-carbon commuting and business travel, and implementing low-carbon procurement practices. Planned actions include LED lighting upgrades, automated ventilation, use of bio-based fuels for flights, and supplier preference for carbon reduction commitments. Etteplan is also expanding services related to energy-efficient engineering, digitalization for resource optimization, and low-carbon technologies for clients.

Financial resources

Operational and capital expenditures for implementing the plan are modest. Estimated annual OpEx includes EUR 291–1,973 for certified green energy and approximately EUR 39,200 for low-carbon business travel. No significant CapEx is currently required, though future needs are under review. Taxonomy-aligned activities include embedded services, testing services, technical documentation, and mechanical design functions.

Integration and governance

Etteplan’s qualitative assessment found no locked-in GHG emissions from key assets or products, and no transition risks related to such emissions. The transition plan includes objectives for aligning revenues, CapEx, and OpEx with EU Taxonomy criteria under Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139. Etteplan aims to increase taxonomy-aligned revenue through sustainability-focused services. Etteplan is not excluded from EU Paris-aligned benchmarks and meets inclusion criteria under Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/1818.

The transition plan is embedded in Etteplan’s overall business strategy and financial planning, integrated into Board-approved strategy, long-term investment plans, and annual operational planning.

Improved GHG calculation methods ensure accurate emissions data.

ESRS 2 S BM-3 – Material impacts, risks, and opportunities in our strategy and business model

CLIMATE-RELATED RISKS AND RESILIENCE ANALYSIS (E1.SBM-3_01–07)

Etteplan has identified both physical risks and transition risks as material to its operations, based on a comprehensive climate risk and resilience assessment conducted in 2025. Physical risks include acute hazards such as heat waves, floods, storms, and cyclones, as well as chronic risks like temperature variability, water stress, and coastal erosion. Transition risks arise from regulatory changes, technological disruption, market shifts, reputational pressures, and cybersecurity vulnerabilities linked to digital transformation. These risks were assessed under low-emissions (SSP1-2.6) and high-emissions (SSP5-8.5) scenarios, with high severity ratings across short-, medium-, and long-term horizons.

41 Resilience analysis and key findings

The resilience analysis covered Etteplan’s entire value chain at a high level, including its own operations, upstream service purchases, and downstream service delivery across eight operating countries and 93 office locations. No material risks were excluded. Scenario analysis applied internationally recognized frameworks (IPCC SSPs and NGFS), using SSP1-2.6 and SSP5-8.5 for physical risks and RCP 1.9 and 2.6 for transition risks. Time horizons applied were short-term (<1 year), medium-term (1–5 years), and long-term (>5 years), aligned with business planning cycles. Key drivers considered included policy assumptions, macroeconomic trends, energy mix, and technology deployment.

The resilience analysis was conducted in October 2025 by a cross-functional working group, supported by external tools and expert judgment. It was qualitative and scenario-based, designed to meet CSRD and EU Taxonomy requirements. Inputs included country-level climate data mapped to office locations and employee distribution. Constraints included the absence of geospatial coordinates, though location-specific hazard profiles were incorporated. Results show that under the low-emissions scenario, transition risks are high due to regulatory pressure and stakeholder expectations, but these risks also present opportunities for Etteplan to expand climate-smart services. Under the high-emissions scenario, physical risks dominate, particularly acute hazards, while chronic risks require deeper integration into long-term planning. Etteplan demonstrates strong operational resilience in the short to medium term and strategic alignment with Net Zero 2050 ambitions.

Ability to adapt and future integration

Etteplan’s ability to adapt its strategy and business model to climate change is supported by operational flexibility, digital infrastructure, and a service-based model. Short-term adaptability includes remote work protocols and IT redundancies; medium-term adaptability focuses on portfolio evolution toward low-carbon engineering and sustainability consulting; and long-term adaptability aligns with Net Zero 2050 targets and Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company’s proactive approach to sustainability supports access to finance and positions it to benefit from climate-related opportunities. Etteplan plans to integrate climate risk analysis into its Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework in future cycles, ensuring that climate-related risks and opportunities remain embedded in strategic and operational decision-making.

Material impacts, risks, and opportunities

ESRS 2 I RO-1 – How we identify and assess material climate-related impacts, risks, and opportunities

PROCESSES FOR IDENTIFYING AND ASSESSING CLIMATE-RELATED IMPACTS, RISKS, AND OPPORTUNITIES (E1.IRO-1_01–20)

Etteplan identifies and assesses material climate-related impacts, risks, and opportunities through a structured process that integrates Double Materiality Assessment (DMA), climate risk and resilience assessment, and GHG inventory calculations. Climate change was confirmed as a material topic in the Double Materiality Assessment (DMA), which evaluated actual and potential impacts across the value chain. Details of the GHG inventory and methodology are provided in section ESRS E1-6.

Physical risks

Etteplan conducted a comprehensive climate risk and resilience analysis to identify physical hazards across its operations and value chain. Hazards assessed include temperature-related risks (heat stress, heat waves), water-related risks (floods, droughts, precipitation variability), wind-related risks (storms, cyclones), and solid mass-related risks (coastal erosion, landslides). These hazards were mapped across eight operating countries and 93 office locations, with particular focus on regions such as Finland, Sweden, Poland, and Denmark. Exposure and sensitivity were evaluated based on workforce distribution, leased office sites, and service delivery dependencies. Scenario analysis informed the assessment using SSP1-2.6 (low emissions) and SSP5-8.5 (high emissions) pathways from IPCC and NGFS frameworks. Time horizons applied were short-term (<1 year), medium-term (1–5 years), and long-term (>5 years), aligned with business planning cycles. The SSP5-8.5 scenario was emphasized to ensure coverage of severe and plausible risks. Inputs included geospatial hazard mapping and financial exposure data, supported by Greenstep’s climate risk tool.

Transition risks and opportunities

Etteplan assessed transition risks and opportunities using RCP 1.9 and RCP 2.6 scenarios, aligned with the Paris Agreement and Net Zero 2050 goals. Risks identified include regulatory tightening, technology shifts, market changes, and reputational pressures. Opportunities include resource efficiency, low-carbon engineering services, and climate-smart product development. The screening covered Etteplan’s service portfolio, digital platforms, and workforce capabilities, identifying high sensitivity to regulatory and innovation-driven changes.

Time horizons and scenario use

Short-term (<1 year) assessments address immediate operational risks and regulatory changes. Medium-term (1–5 years) captures evolving transition risks and technology shifts. Long-term (>5 years) focuses on chronic physical hazards and strategic alignment with Net Zero 2050. Scenario analysis was applied consistently across these horizons to ensure robust coverage of uncertainties.

Exposure and sensitivity assessment

Etteplan screened assets and business activities for exposure to both physical hazards and transition events. Sensitivity was highest in regions with dense infrastructure reliance and in service areas requiring rapid technological adaptation. The analysis considered hazard likelihood, intensity, and duration, as well as transition drivers such as policy trends and stakeholder expectations.

Alignment with financial assumptions

The scenarios used (SSP1-2.6, SSP5-8.5, RCP 1.9, RCP 2.6) are compatible with climate-related assumptions reflected in Etteplan’s financial statements, supporting long-term planning for asset resilience, capital allocation, and strategic investments.

Continuous improvement

Etteplan plans to integrate climate risk analysis into its Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework in future cycles, ensuring that climate-related risks and opportunities remain embedded in strategic and operational decision-making.

Actions are embedded in Etteplan’s long-term investment strategy and annual operational planning, reviewed annually by the ESG Steering Group.

Metrics and targets

E1-4 – Targets related to climate change mitigation and adaptation

OUR CLIMATE TARGETS FOR MITIGATION AND ADAPTATION (E1.MDR-T_01-13, E1-4-24)

Etteplan tracks the effectiveness of its climate actions through measurable, time-bound targets derived from its Climate Transition Plan.While an official Climate Policy is still under development, the Transition Plan serves as the guiding framework for climate-related objectives, including emission reductions, energy efficiency improvements, and alignment with global sustainability goals. Targets are reviewed annually by the ESG Steering Group and updated to reflect progress and evolving priorities. Stakeholder involvement is central to the target-setting process, supported by Double Materiality Assessments (DMA) conducted in 2023 and 2025.

GHG emission reduction target

Etteplan’s climate transition plan sets a goal to cut Scope 1, 2 and 3 greenhouse gas emissions by 42% by 2030, from a 2022 baseline. The target is consistent with the Paris Agreement and a 1.5°C-aligned trajectory. Key actions supporting this target include reducing office energy consumption, promoting low-carbon transport and business travel, and enhancing procurement practices. Measures such as certified green energy, optimization of building technologies, and improved data collection are central to the strategy.

Carbon footprint calculations for 2025 cover Etteplan Finland Oy, Etteplan Sweden AB, and Etteplan Oyj, as well as Poland, Germany, and the Netherlands with limited data. Limitations in 2025 carbon footprint data stem from ongoing integration of acquired companies and system harmonization. More details are provided in section E1-6.

45 in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol using the market-based method. The baseline reflects available activity data at the time, including significant value chain emissions such as business travel and purchased goods and services. Energy consumption has remained consistent across 2023–2025 compared to 2022, supporting the general representativeness of the baseline. Etteplan continues to enhance the scope and coverage of its GHG accounting to improve accuracy and completeness over time.

Etteplan’s baseline year for GHG emission reduction targets remains 2022, as no significant changes have occurred in the targets or reporting boundaries. Maintaining the original baseline supports consistency in tracking progress over time and aligns with ESRS guidance, which recommends changes only when material shifts take place. If significant changes to the targets or reporting boundaries arise in the future, Etteplan will disclose how any new baseline value affects the revised targets, their achievement, and the presentation of progress. Any new targets will be based on a recent year, selected within three years prior to the start of the new target period, in line with ESRS requirements.

Science-based alignment

Targets are aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and compatible with limiting global warming to 1.5°C. They were developed using the Greenhouse Gas Protocol and sectoral decarbonization pathways. In setting these targets, Etteplan considered critical future developments, including changes in sales volumes, evolving customer preferences, regulatory shifts, and emerging technologies. These factors were assessed for their potential impact on both emissions and reduction potential. Reference target values aligned with a 1.5°C pathway have been calculated for Scope 1 and 2, and separately for Scope 3, to enable comparison over the target period. Targets have not been externally assured.

Decarbonization levers and contributions

Etteplan’s strategy focuses on:
* Energy efficiency improvements in facilities and operations.
* Transition to renewable energy sources.
* Reduction of emissions from business travel.
* Supplier engagement to lower Scope 3 emissions.

Scenario analysis and internal workshops informed the prioritization of these levers based on emission reduction potential and cost-effectiveness.

Consistency and baseline

Targets are gross (excluding removals, credits, and avoided emissions) and consistent with GHG inventory boundaries. Targets exclude GHG removals, carbon credits, and avoided emissions, in line with ESRS E1-6 requirements. The baseline year (2022) reflects all relevant emission sources and remains unchanged to ensure comparability over time. Etteplan’s baseline year for GHG emission reduction targets is 2022. The baseline value includes all relevant emission sources from Etteplan Finland Oy and Etteplan Sweden AB, based on a GHG inventory conducted in

46 These levers are expected to contribute collectively and measurably to the achievement of Etteplan’s emission reduction targets. Quantitative contributions include:
* Energy efficiency improvements: ~36.6 tCO\textsubscript{2}e reduction
* Transition to renewable energy: ~229 tCO\textsubscript{2}e reduction
* Business travel measures: ~59.7 tCO\textsubscript{2}e reduction
* Supplier engagement: ~4,511 tCO\textsubscript{2}e reduction across purchased goods and services.

Etteplan has considered a diverse range of climate scenarios, including one aligned with limiting global warming to 1.5°C. An internal workshop held in October 2024 served as a foundation for identifying key mitigation actions across energy use, commuting, business travel, and procurement. Two scenario pathways were developed in the internal workshop:
* Workshop Pathway, based on concrete measures identified during the workshop
* Scenario Pathway, which added further actions to close the gap toward the 42% reduction target by 2030 and align with the SBTi cross-sector pathway

This scenario analysis enabled Etteplan to detect relevant environmental, societal, technological, market, and policy developments. It also supported the selection and prioritization of decarbonization levers based on their emission reduction potential and cost-effectiveness, ensuring strategic alignment with climate neutrality goals. Both pathways were overall consumption. Fuel consumption in leased vehicles is excluded due to limited availability of comprehensive data. No other direct fuel use related to Etteplan operations is considered in the 2025 report. A conservative approach was applied when splitting electricity, heat, and cooling between renewable and non-renewable sources, following the methodology used for market-based Scope 2 GHG emissions. tested against SSP1-2.6 and SSP5-8.5 for physical risks and RCP 1.9 and RCP 2.6 for transition risks, ensuring coverage of plausible futures and supporting prioritization of actions under different regulatory and physical risk conditions.

GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS BY SCOPE AND METHODOLOGY (E1-6_01-13)

Etteplan’s carbon footprint for 2025 is presented together with the base year (2022) and the previous year (2024) for comparison. In 2025, our market- based carbon footprint was 12,929.3 tCO(_2)e (15,697.0 in 2024), indicating a decrease compared to the prior year. It is important to note that the calculation scope, data collection, and methodologies are continuously evolving. Therefore, year-on-year results are not fully comparable. Etteplan aims to expand the carbon footprint calculation to cover all group companies to achieve a complete view of the organization’s emissions.

For 2025, Etteplan Oyj, Finland, and Sweden are fully accounted for under Scopes 1–3. Poland, Germany, and the Netherlands are fully included for Scopes 1 and 2, while Scope 3 coverage in these countries is limited to employee commuting and fuel- and energy-related activities. Data from investees, joint ventures, and certain subsidiaries is currently unavailable but will be incorporated in future reporting periods.

Scope 3 category 2 (capital goods) is not assessed separately. No activities were identified in categories 8 (upstream leased assets), 10 (processing of sold products), 13 (downstream leased assets), and 14 (franchising). Identified upstream leased assets are included in Scope 1–2 calculations. Category 15 (investments) is excluded for now but will be added as the calculation boundary expands.

Etteplan does not have Scope 1 GHG emissions from regulated emission trading schemes, as the company is not currently participating in such programs. Metrics presented in this section have not been externally validated.

CHANGES IN REPORTING SCOPE AND YEAR-ON-YEAR COMPARABILITY (E1-6_14)

There have been no significant changes to Etteplan’s value chain definition. However, as we continuously develop our data collection processes and calculation methodologies, the reported carbon footprint results are not fully comparable year-on-year. In 2025, the Scope 3 category for employee commuting was added for Germany, Poland, and the Netherlands. Compared to the base year 2022, four new Scope 3 categories have been included: upstream and downstream transportation, end-of-life treatment of sold products, and use of sold products. Additionally, the 2024 carbon footprint of the value chain covered only Etteplan Finland and Sweden operations. These additions affect the comparability of results. Our intention is to gradually expand the calculation to cover the entire organization and, in the future, update the baseline to reflect the full organizational scope.

METHODOLOGIES, ASSUMPTIONS, AND EMISSION FACTORS USED IN GHG CALCULATIONS (E1-6_15)

Etteplan calculates greenhouse gas emissions in line with the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard and the GHG Protocol Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Accounting and Reporting Standard, applying the operational control approach. While the calculation boundary currently excludes some subsidiaries and entities due to incomplete system integrations and limited data availability, the scope will be gradually expanded to cover the entire organization. Once this is achieved, the baseline will be updated to reflect the full organizational footprint.

For the 2025 inventory, data collection covered January to October. The remaining two months were estimated by extrapolating available data to complete the calendar year. Primary data was prioritized wherever possible, sourced from internal systems, external systems, and departmental surveys. Where primary data was unavailable, estimates were based on credible literature sources. Emission factors were selected to represent the technological and geographical characteristics of Etteplan’s operations. These factors were sourced from recognized databases, including Statistics Finland, DEFRA, EXIOBASE v.3.8.2, Association of Issuing Bodies (AIB), EU Joint Research Centre, and VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd.

Scope-specific approaches were applied:

Scope 1: For leased vehicles, primary emission data was used when available. Otherwise, calculations were based on contracted or driven kilometers using WLTP-specific or generic fuel-type factors. Emissions from electric vehicles were allocated to Scope 2.

50

Scope 2: Calculations relied on primary energy consumption data where available. In the absence of such data, office floor area and average consumption figures per square meter were applied. For market-based calculations, country-specific residual mix was used when certified electricity was not available. Location- based calculations applied average country- specific production mix. Similar principles were applied to heating, using certified heat factors where applicable and local district heating factors otherwise. Country-specific tools such as Finnish Energy’s district heat calculator and Lokala miljövärden by Energi företagen Sweden supported these calculations.

Scope 3: Methodologies for Scope 3 categories are detailed in section E1-6_29.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AND BIOGENIC EMISSIONS (E1-6_16-17)

Currently, no significant events or changes in circumstances relevant to Etteplan’s greenhouse gas emissions have been identified between the reporting dates of entities in our value chain and the date of Etteplan’s general purpose financial statements. In 2025, Etteplan estimated biogenic CO(_2) emissions for the first time within its own operations (Scope 1). These emissions originate from the combustion of biofuels in company-leased vehicles. Reliable estimation was possible only where fuel data was

Data availability posed a challenge in 2025. Primary data on the type of energy used was not available for all Etteplan offices, and some energy data remained incomplete. Etteplan is committed to improving the tracking and reporting of energy consumption and related contractual instruments to ensure more comprehensive disclosures in future reporting periods.

BIOGENIC EMISSIONS IN SCOPE 2 ENERGY USE (E1-6_24)

In 2025, Etteplan estimated biogenic CO(_2) emissions for the first time within Scope 2 energy use. These emissions originate from the combustion of biofuels in energy production. When certified electricity (renewable or nuclear) was not in use, market- based biogenic emissions were calculated using the fuel mix in the country-specific residual grid mix.For district heating, estimates were based on contractual instrument-specific fuel mixes or, in the absence of certification, on country or location- specific fuel mixes. Calculated biogenic emissions in Scope 2 amounted to 653.4 tCO₂e. It should be noted that some energy consumption figures rely on estimates, introducing a degree of uncertainty to the reported result. available, meaning the reported figure likely underestimates actual emissions. Calculated biogenic emissions in Scope 1 amounted to 1.2 tCO₂e. It should be noted that some energy consumption data is based on estimates, introducing a degree of uncertainty to the result.

CONTRACTUAL INSTRUMENTS AND CERTIFIED ENERGY IN SCOPE 2 EMISSIONS (E1-6_18-23)

In 2025, approximately 9% of Etteplan’s total Scope 2 energy consumption consisted of certified energy bundled with contractual instruments such as Guarantees of Origin or other certificates verifying the source of purchased energy. Among certified energy sources, renewable electricity represented the largest share (55%), followed by certified district heating (31%) and certified nuclear electricity (14%). Scope 2 emissions associated with these instruments are marginal, as the production of renewable energy (excluding biomass-based sources) and nuclear energy is not estimated to generate Scope 2 emissions. It is important to note that district heating production in Nordic countries already places a strong emphasis on renewable energy. Therefore, the share of certified renewable energy provides only a partial view of actual renewable energy use, as only energy consumption backed by renewable energy certificates (available and acquired) is accounted for as certified renewable energy.

SCOPE 3 EMISSIONS: DATA COVERAGE, EXCLUSIONS, AND BIOGENIC EMISSIONS (E1-6_25-28)

In 2025, Etteplan continued to develop its Scope 3 emissions reporting, focusing primarily on operations in Finland and Sweden, with partial coverage for Germany, the Netherlands, and Poland. The calculation scope and methodologies will be expanded in the coming years to fully reflect the group’s carbon footprint.

Use of primary data

Some Scope 3 categories were partly estimated using primary data obtained from value chain operators. Primary emission data was available for categories 4 (Upstream transportation and distribution) and 6 (Business travel). The share of primary emission data in total Scope 3 emissions was 2.2% in 2025.

Excluded categories

Scope 3 category 15 (Investments) was excluded from the calculation boundary due to lack of reliable data from investees. Additionally, no activities were identified in categories 8 (Upstream leased assets), 10 (Processing of sold products), 13 (Downstream leased assets), and 14 (Franchises) for Finland and Sweden operations. These exclusions impact completeness, but Etteplan intends to gradually expand coverage and update the baseline accordingly. 51

Included categories

For Finland and Sweden, Scope 3 calculations included the following categories:
* Purchased goods and services
* Capital goods (included under category 1 due to financial data limitations)
* Fuel- and energy-related activities
* Upstream transportation and distribution
* Waste generated in operations
* Business travel
* Employee commuting
* Downstream transportation and distribution
* Use of sold products
* End-of-life treatment of sold products

For Germany, the Netherlands, and Poland, Scope 3 coverage was limited to categories 3 (Fuel- and energy-related activities) and 7 (Employee commuting).

Biogenic emissions in the value chain

Biogenic CO₂ emissions from biomass combustion or biodegradation in Scope 3 value chain activities were not estimated for 2025 due to lack of reliable data. Etteplan is exploring options to include these emissions in future reporting.

REPORTING BOUNDARIES AND CALCULATION METHODS FOR SCOPE 3 EMISSIONS (E1-6_29)

Etteplan’s Scope 3 inventory for 2025 was primarily conducted for operations in Finland and Sweden

General calculation approach

Etteplan prioritizes primary data wherever available, including data from value chain operators. Activity data is sourced from internal and external systems and departmental surveys. Where primary data is unavailable, estimates are based on credible literature sources. Average emission factors are applied, selected to reflect technological and geographical characteristics of operations. Sources include DEFRA, EXIOBASE, and Association of Issuing Bodies (AIB).

Category-specific methodologies

Purchased Goods and Services (Category 1): Calculated using financial spend data and country-specific emission factors. Capital goods are included under category 1 due to data limitations.

Business Travel (Category 6): Mileage allowances extracted from financial data and converted to estimated distances using tax-free mileage rates. Emissions calculated with average factors. Primary data from travel operators was used where available to avoid double counting.

Fuel- and Energy-Related Activities (Category 3): Based on Scopes 1 and 2 energy use; emission factors from reliable sources such as the Joint Research Centre, Institute for Energy and Transport.

Upstream Transportation (Category 4): Primary data from logistics operators for well-to- due to incomplete system integrations and limited data availability for other countries. The intention is to gradually expand the calculation to cover the entire organization and update the baseline accordingly.

Strategy

ESRS 2 SBM-2 – Interests and views of stakeholders: why own workforce matters

Etteplan’s own workforce is a key stakeholder group and an essential driver of our success. Our people shape our ability to deliver value and innovate, making workforce-related topics central to our Sustainability Agenda.Employee engagement is achieved through initiatives such as the Double Materiality Assessment (DMA), Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD), and continuous dialogue, ensuring that their interests and rights guide our approach. Success with People remains a cornerstone of our strategy Transformation with AI, reflecting the importance of continuity, competence, and well-being in our business model. This section outlines how we manage material impacts, risks, and opportunities related to our own workforce in line with ESRS requirements.

ESRS 2 SBM-3 – Material impacts, risks, and opportunities and their interaction with strategy and business model

WORKFORCE-RELATED IMPACTS, RISKS, AND OPPORTUNITIES IN OUR STRATEGY (S1.SBM-3_01–S1.SBM-3_12)

Etteplan includes all people in its own workforce who could be materially impacted by the company within the scope of disclosure under ESRS 2. This covers both internal employees and external workers, as confirmed in the Double Materiality Assessment (DMA) conducted in 2025, which identified material impacts on working conditions, equal treatment, health and safety, training, and diversity.

Etteplan’s workforce composition

Etteplan’s workforce includes both employees and non-employees who are subject to material impacts from its operations. Employees are individuals in a direct employment relationship with Etteplan, including permanent, fixed-term, full-time, and part-time roles. Non-employees are members of the external workforce and not directly employed by Etteplan. The external workforce includes B2B workers (people with a B2B contract supplying labor to Etteplan in Poland), agency workers (people employed by third-party agencies supplying labor to Etteplan), other subcontractors (individual contractors supplying labor to Etteplan, excluding B2B workers and agency workers) and trainees (students in unpaid trainee or internship positions with no direct employment relationship with Etteplan).

Material negative impacts

Material negative impacts on Etteplan’s own workforce, as identified in the Double Materiality Assessment (DMA) conducted in 2025, include both actual and potential impacts. Actual negative impacts include high psychosocial workload, primarily driven by project demands and work intensity. While these occurrences are not systemic, they can affect individual employee well-being. Etteplan addresses this risk through preventive measures under its Quality, Environment, Health and Safety (QEHS) Policy, including regular workplace surveys, risk assessments, and targeted training programs aimed at reducing stress and promoting a healthy work environment.

Potential negative impacts relate to gender equality and equal pay for work of equal value. Although systemic issues have not been observed, individual cases of gender pay gaps may arise due to factors such as role-specific salary ranges, education, and experience. These are continuously monitored, and Etteplan is actively preparing to comply with the EU Pay Transparency Directive across all of its operating countries. Both negative impacts are considered material due to their potential effect on employee health, safety, and fair treatment. Etteplan applies mitigation and monitoring measures and engages in continuous improvement to reduce occurrence and severity.

Material positive impacts

Etteplan’s activities that result in material positive impacts on its own workforce were identified in the Double Materiality Assessment (DMA) conducted in 2025. These include access to training and career development opportunities and initiatives that promote workforce diversity, both considered actual positive impacts due to their direct contribution to employee growth, inclusion, and long-term employability. Training and career development programs are available to all employees – permanent, fixed-term, full-time, and part-time – and support continuous learning and professional advancement. Non-employees, such as trainees and agency workers, also benefit from structured onboarding and health and safety practices, which facilitate integration and skill development during their assignments. Etteplan’s diversity initiatives foster an inclusive work environment, ensuring equal opportunities and representation across all Etteplan countries. These measures strengthen employee engagement and contribute to a positive organizational culture.

Material risks and opportunities

Etteplan has identified material risks and opportunities arising from its impacts and dependencies on its own workforce in the Double Materiality Assessment (DMA) conducted in 2025. Material risks include high psychosocial workload, primarily linked to project demands and work intensity, that may lead to reduced employee well-being, increased absenteeism, and potential productivity loss. These factors can affect operational continuity and overall business performance if not effectively managed.

Material risks include also ensuring gender equality and equal pay for work of equal value. While systemic issues have not been observed, individual cases of pay gaps could lead to reputational risks, regulatory non-compliance, and challenges in attracting and retaining talent if not addressed proactively. Additional risks include potential business disruption due to high employee turnover, lack of critical skills, and difficulties in attracting and retaining top technology talent. These risks may impact growth, profitability, and operational resilience.

Opportunities include enhanced business performance and market appeal through investment in training and skills development, promotion of diversity, and ensuring fair compensation and working conditions. These initiatives strengthen employee engagement, leadership development, and long-term competitiveness across all Etteplan countries.

Transition plan impacts

Etteplan’s climate transition plan includes measures to reduce environmental impacts and achieve climate-neutral operations. These measures may lead to changes in work practices, such as increased remote work, promotion of low-carbon commuting, and optimization of office space and energy use. Opportunities include upskilling and job creation in areas such as low-carbon procurement, sustainable product design, and digitalization. At this stage, no material impacts on Etteplan’s own workforce have been identified through the transition plan. No employment loss or restructuring is expected. The transition plan currently applies to operations in Finland and Sweden, with plans to expand globally in the future.

Management of forced labor and compulsory labor risks in Etteplan’s operations

Etteplan maintains a zero-tolerance policy towards human rights violations and fully respects internationally recognized human rights, including ILO conventions. The company strictly prohibits forced or compulsory labor, as outlined in its Code of Conduct, and enforces this commitment through a robust Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD) process. This process follows OECD and UN Guiding Principles and includes country-specific human rights risk identification across all Etteplan operating countries. As part of the HRDD process, risks related to forced labor and modern slavery are regularly assessed and integrated into Etteplan’s enterprise risk management system.

Based on these assessments, no operations involving Etteplan’s own workforce have been identified as presenting a significant risk of forced or compulsory labor. Furthermore, Etteplan has not identified any countries or geographic areas where its operations are considered at significant risk of such incidents. While China was flagged as a higher-risk country for certain human rights topics, no actual or potential risks of forced or compulsory labor were found in Etteplan’s own operations. These assessments are reviewed and updated regularly to ensure ongoing compliance and risk mitigation.

Management of child labor risks in Etteplan’s operations

Etteplan enforces a zero-tolerance policy toward human rights violations, including child labor. The company strictly prohibits child labor through its Code of Conduct and ensures compliance via a comprehensive Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD) process. This process follows OECD and UN Guiding Principles and includes country-specific human rights risk assessments across all Etteplan operating countries. Based on these regular assessments, no operations involving Etteplan’s own workforce have been identified as presenting a significant risk of child labor. This conclusion is supported by the nature of Etteplan’s business, which focuses on high-productivity engineering and technology services requiring specialized skills and qualifications, making the risk of child labor inherently low. While certain countries were flagged as having elevated human rights concerns, no actual or potential risks of child labor were found in Etteplan’s own operations. These assessments are reviewed regularly and integrated into Etteplan’s enterprise risk management system. Etteplan has also identified no countries or geographic areas where its operations are considered at significant risk of child labor. This finding is based on the company’s Code of Conduct, HRDD process, and country-specific risk mapping, all of which confirm that the nature of Etteplan’s operations minimizes the likelihood of child labor.

Understanding workforce risk factors for specific groups and contexts

Etteplan does not tolerate discrimination, hostility, or abusive behavior on any grounds. All employees are evaluated based on their skills and have equal opportunities for employment and advancement, with a commitment to equal pay for equal work. Where appropriate, proportionate positive action is taken to support underrepresented or disadvantaged groups.Based on the Double Materiality Assessment (DMA) conducted in 2025 and Etteplan’s Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD) process, the company has developed an understanding of potential risks to employees with particular characteristics, working contexts, or activities. These include young professionals, women in male-dominated fields, persons with disabilities, and employees in high-stress technical roles. HRDD workshops and country-specific risk assessments confirmed that risks primarily relate to equality, psychosocial workload, and unbalanced career opportunities for minorities. This understanding is embedded in Etteplan’s HR management practices and supported by regular performance and development discussions, systematic monitoring of occupational health and well-being, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) training, and adherence to internal guidelines. These measures aim to prevent discrimination, mitigate psychosocial risks, and promote inclusion across all Etteplan countries.

Material risks and opportunities affecting specific workforce groups

Based on Etteplan’s Double Materiality Assessment (DMA) conducted in 2025 and Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD) process, the company has identified material risks and opportunities that relate to specific groups within its workforce. 57

An actual risk is high psychosocial workload, which primarily affects employees in technical roles and those engaged in high-demand projects. A potential risk is ensuring gender equality and equal pay for work of equal value, which relates to gender groups and supports fair treatment across all roles. Material opportunities include access to training and career development, particularly relevant for younger professionals and employees in early career stages, and workforce diversity, which benefits minority groups and underrepresented demographics. These risks and opportunities are not uniform across the workforce but are specific to certain roles, demographics, or working contexts. Etteplan addresses them through targeted measures such as Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs, career development initiatives, and systematic monitoring of occupational health and well-being.

S1-1 – Policies related to own workforce

OVERVIEW OF WORKFORCE POLICIES AND THEIR IMPLEMENTATION (S1.MDR-P_01-06, S1-1_01–13)

Comprehensive policy framework

Etteplan has established a comprehensive policy framework to manage material impacts, risks, and opportunities related to its own workforce, in line with ESRS S1 requirements. These policies address key material topics identified in our materiality assessment, including working conditions, health and safety (with a focus on psychosocial risk management), equal treatment and opportunities, training and skills development, and workforce diversity.

The global Quality, Environment, Health and Safety (QEHS) Policy provides the foundation for occupational health and safety, complemented by country-specific guidelines and instructions to ensure compliance with local legislation. This includes measures for stress management, workload monitoring, and safe working conditions.

Our Equal Opportunity & Non-Discrimination Policies and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Policy promote equal opportunities, prevent discrimination, and foster an inclusive workplace culture. Gender equality and pay equity are supported through recruitment guidelines, pay equity analysis, and career development programs. Policies for Learning & Development ensure access to training and career growth opportunities for all employees, emphasizing continuous learning, knowledge sharing, and proactive skill development.

Implementation of these policies is supported through mandatory training programs (such as Code of Conduct), risk assessments, and structured processes including Personal Development & Performance Plans, Etteplan eLearning platform (covering e.g. DEI eLearning), and on-the-job learning opportunities. Governance and oversight are ensured through dedicated structures such as the occupational safety organization and the Happy DEIs Steering Group, which regularly review relevant topics and advances development initiatives. Effectiveness is monitored through audits, HR reviews, engagement surveys, and annual reporting.

By embedding these policies into our operations and culture, we aim to mitigate risks, enhance employee well-being, and create opportunities for continuous development, ensuring alignment with ESRS S1 disclosure requirements. Our policies apply to all employees globally and include specific measures for distinct workforce groups where relevant. For example, our DEI Policy addresses gender equality and pay equity, while also promoting diversity across dimensions such as age and cultural background. Country-specific guidelines complement global policies to ensure compliance with local labor laws and address unique needs of workforce groups. These policies ensure that material topics - such as equal treatment, diversity, and access to training - are managed inclusively across the entire workforce, with targeted actions for groups that may face higher risks or barriers.

Human rights and labor rights commitments

Etteplan is committed to respecting human rights in accordance with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and relevant ILO Conventions. These commitments are embedded in our global Code of Conduct, which applies to all employees and sets clear expectations regarding non-discrimination, fair working conditions, freedom of association, and the right to collective bargaining. Country-specific guidelines complement global commitments to comply with local labor laws.

Respect for human rights and labor rights is integrated into our Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) and Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD) processes. HR-related risks, including those linked to working conditions, equal treatment, and psychosocial well-being, are assessed as part of our overall risk management approach. We maintain open dialogue with employees and provide a confidential whistleblowing channel for reporting concerns without fear of retaliation. Continuous improvement is achieved through monitoring, audits, and engagement surveys. Our approach to remedying human rights impacts includes proactive risk identification, prevention, and corrective actions where impacts occur. Reported cases are managed through defined procedures that ensure timely investigation, fair resolution, and measures to restore affected individuals and prevent recurrence.

Human rights and ethical standards

Etteplan’s policies align with internationally recognized human rights and labor standards. These include, among others, the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, the International Bill of Human Rights, the ILO Declaration, and the UN Guiding Principles. We actively participate in the UN Global Compact, integrating its principles into governance, training, and risk management practices. Our Code of Conduct explicitly prohibits child labor, human trafficking, and all forms of forced or compulsory labor, including slavery. These commitments apply across our operations and are reinforced through our Supplier Code of Conduct, supported by mandatory training and supplier onboarding processes. While the Code of Conduct sets ethical standards for all Etteplan employees and partners, the Supplier Code of Conduct specifically outlines requirements for suppliers and their sub-suppliers, ensuring compliance with human rights, environmental standards, and responsible sourcing practices.

Health, safety, and well-being

Etteplan has a workplace accident prevention management system integrated into our Quality, Environment, Health and Safety (QEHS) policy. Preventive measures include mandatory Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) eLearning, regular risk assessments covering physical and psychosocial hazards, and collaboration with occupational safety organizations. We actively monitor psychosocial workload through surveys and stress management initiatives. Continuous audits ensure hazards are identified and corrective actions implemented.

Etteplan enforces formal policies to eliminate discrimination and harassment, outlined in our Code of Conduct and supported by our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Policy. These policies prohibit discrimination based on race, religion, gender, age, nationality, sexual orientation, disability, or any other personal characteristic. Our DEI Policy includes specific commitments to inclusion and positive action for vulnerable groups, such as women, persons with disabilities, and employees from diverse cultural backgrounds. Actions include inclusive recruitment, partnerships (e.g., Women in Tech Finland), mentorship programs, accessibility improvements, and training on unconscious bias and inclusive leadership. Implementation is supported through mandatory training, DEI eLearning, and awareness initiatives. Employees can report concerns confidentially via supervisors, HR, or an anonymous whistleblowing tool operated by a third party. Continuous improvement is ensured through feedback mechanisms such as FuturETTE personnel surveys, onboarding and exit interviews, and annual DEI metrics reporting.

S1-2 – Processes for engaging with own workforce and workers’ representatives about impacts

HOW WE ENGAGE WITH EMPLOYEES AND WORKER REPRESENTATIVES ON WORKFORCE IMPACTS (S1-2_01–07)

Etteplan engages with its workforce and their representatives through structured processes designed to inform decisions, manage actual and potential impacts, and promote an inclusive workplace. Engagement occurs at multiple levels and stages of decision-making, ensuring that employee perspectives shape policies, actions, and development plans.

How we engage and what we discuss
Employee input is integrated through legislated dialogue meetings held quarterly or as needed, and through various channels such as the annual FuturETTE employee survey, Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Committee meetings, and monthly Happy DEIs sessions. Topics include health and safety, psychosocial workload, diversity, gender equality, and pay transparency. In addition, dialogue on training and career development opportunities as well as competence development is conducted annually as part of an employee’s Personal Development and Performance Plan (PDP) and the related discussions. Engagement methods range from information-sharing to active participation, with frequency varying by channel: dialogue meetings quarterly, OHS committees quarterly or annually, DEI meetings monthly, and CEO Info Live sessions quarterly.

Governance and responsibility
Operational responsibility lies with the Human Resources function, led by the Senior Vice President, Human Resources, supported by the Senior Vice President, Marketing and Communications. The CEO ensures engagement outcomes inform strategic decisions. These processes apply to all employees, regardless of employment type.

Measuring effectiveness and inclusion
Effectiveness is assessed through the global FuturETTE survey (72% response rate in 2025), participation in dialogue meetings and OHS committees, feedback from DEI forums, and progress against action plans. Etteplan also uses an Equity & Inclusion Index to identify inclusivity gaps and implements measures such as accessible eLearning, pay transparency training, DEI-focused Leadership Café sessions, diversity tracking, and an anonymous whistleblowing channel to ensure vulnerable or marginalized groups are heard.

Commitments and standards
Etteplan does not have a Global Framework Agreement but aligns its engagement processes with international standards and commitments, including the UN Global Compact principles and relevant labor rights conventions.

S1-3 – Addressing workforce impacts and providing channels to raise concerns

PROCESSES FOR REMEDIATION AND CHANNELS FOR WORKERS TO RAISE CONCERNS (S1-3_01–09)

Etteplan is committed to fostering an inclusive and respectful workplace culture, grounded in psychological safety, mutual trust, and zero tolerance for discrimination. As a participant in the UN Global Compact, Etteplan aligns its human rights approach with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and respects internationally recognized human rights, including those outlined in the International Bill of Human Rights and ILO principles.

Approach to remedying negative impacts
When Etteplan identifies that it has caused or contributed to a material negative impact on its workforce, it provides or contributes to remedy through structured processes defined in its Code of Conduct. Remedies may include corrective actions, dialogue with affected individuals, and other measures appropriate to the impact. Effectiveness is assessed through timely resolution, recurrence monitoring, and feedback from impacted workers. The Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD) process supports remediation by identifying risks and integrating findings into continuous improvement.

Channels for raising concerns
Employees can raise concerns through multiple channels:
* Direct dialogue with supervisors or senior leadership.
* Engagement with employee representatives in line with local legislation.
* A secure whistleblowing tool operated by a third-party provider, enabling confidential and anonymous reporting with two-way communication. This channel is accessible in multiple languages and communicated during onboarding, via the intranet, and through mandatory Code of Conduct training. For employees without digital access, concerns can be raised by phone or in person.

Grievance and complaints handling
Etteplan maintains a formal grievance mechanism for employee matters. Reports are assessed case- by-case and escalated based on severity:
* HR-level issues: handled by line management or HR.
* Serious issues: investigated by trained staff.
* Significant issues: directed by senior leadership.
* Crisis issues: overseen by the Audit Committee.
Processes ensure confidentiality, compliance with the EU Whistleblowing Directive, and protection against retaliation.

Ensuring availability and monitoring effectiveness
The whistleblowing tool is accessible via the company website and intranet and reviewed periodically to ensure effectiveness. Reports are categorized by severity and tracked through defined escalation paths. Etteplan monitors all cases, actions taken, and outcomes to identify trends and improve preventive measures. Effectiveness is further ensured through employee feedback and compliance checks, aligning with UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, Principle 31.

Awareness and trust in channels
Etteplan ensures employees are aware of and trust these channels through onboarding, mandatory Code of Conduct eLearning, and intranet resources. Training completion is tracked to confirm awareness. Trust is reinforced by a strict non-retaliation policy, documented in the Code of Conduct and communicated during training. Any retaliation is investigated and subject to disciplinary action. Confidence in channels is monitored through usage data, resolution tracking, and periodic feedback.

The following table presents Etteplan’s gender distribution at the top management level, expressed both in absolute numbers and percentages, as well as the age distribution of employees across three categories: under 30 years old, between 30 and 50 years old, and over 50 years old. This disclosure provides insight into the diversity of leadership and the overall age profile of our workforce. The data is based on information stored in the global HR system Sympa.Etteplan’s Global Management Group, referred to as the Management Group, consists of nine members. Of these, six are male (55.6%) and three are female (33.3%). This composition reflects our definition of top management for reporting purposes. Etteplan employed 3,846 people on average in 2025, reflecting a stable workforce compared to the previous year. During the reporting period, 617 employees left Etteplan. This figure includes all departures, whether voluntary, dismissals, retirements, deaths in service, or other reasons. The employee turnover rate for the year was 16.0% (16.5%) calculated by dividing the total number of employees who left (617) by the average headcount of the reporting year (3,846). This percentage covers all contract types and provides a comprehensive view of workforce mobility.

METHODOLOGY AND CONTEXT FOR EMPLOYEE DATA (S1-6_13-17)

Employee data for this report is compiled from Etteplan’s global HR system Sympa, which manages personnel information across all operating countries throughout the employment lifecycle. Sympa includes personal, employment, and organizational data and supports key HR processes such as onboarding, performance development, and competence management. As the master system, it feeds data into other platforms including Active Directory, ERP, and payroll systems. We apply consistent methodologies and definitions across all countries to ensure data reliability and comparability. No estimates are used in compiling employee data; all figures are based on actual records from Sympa.

Employee numbers are reported in headcount, with no full-time equivalent (FTE) conversion applied. Each individual employed under a contract of employment is counted as one, regardless of working hours or employment type. Figures are primarily reported as headcount at the end of the reporting period. When required by specific reporting frameworks or stakeholders, average headcount over the reporting year is also provided. Both methods are based on actual data from our global HR system without the use of estimates.

The predominant form of employment at Etteplan is permanent, typically beginning with a probationary period in accordance with local legislation. Fixed-term contracts are primarily used to cover temporary needs, such as employee leaves, project-based assignments, or seasonal workload peaks. Additionally, fixed-term trainee and internship positions are offered to students and recent graduates across various departments. Employment types may vary by country, reflecting local labor market practices and legal requirements. Etteplan ensures compliance with all applicable national labor laws and collective agreements. This contextual information supports the interpretation of employee data, particularly regarding the use of fixed-term and part-time contracts.

The employee headcount reported under ESRS S1-6 is fully aligned with the number disclosed in Etteplan’s financial statements. Both figures are based on data extracted from the global HR system Sympa, and reflect the number of employees at the end of the reporting period.

Material impacts, risks, and opportunities

ESRS 2 IRO-1 – Processes for identifying and managing material impacts, risks, and opportunities

MATERIALITY ASSESSMENT AND RELATED POLICIES (ESRS 2 IRO-1; G1.MDR-P_01-06)

Etteplan identifies its material impacts, risks and opportunities through a double materiality assessment (DMA), most recently conducted in 2025. Based on the assessment, Etteplan’s strong corporate culture is a material actual positive impact, which also creates related financial opportunities. At the same time, the DMA identifies the risk of corruption and bribery – which may result from insufficient awareness and inadequate internal control procedures – as a material potential negative impact associated with financial risks.

To manage these topics, Etteplan has established a comprehensive Code of Conduct as the central policy framework for ethical business practices and responsible corporate culture. The Code of Conduct applies to all employees and partners and is integrated into onboarding, training, and daily operations of Etteplan.

Key elements of Etteplan’s Code of Conduct

  • Ethical behavior: Compliance with laws, fair competition, and responsible decision-making.
  • Anti-corruption: A zero-tolerance policy supported by training, internal controls, and reporting mechanisms.
  • Corporate culture: Promotion of integrity, transparency, inclusion, and employee wellbeing.
  • Whistleblowing: Secure and anonymous channels for reporting misconduct, with protection against retaliation.

The Code of Conduct is approved by Etteplan’s Board of Directors and overseen by the President & CEO, who is responsible for its implementation and effectiveness.

G1-1 – BUSINESS CONDUCT POLICIES AND CORPORATE CULTURE

GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE AND SUSTAINABILITY POLICIES (G1-1_01–2, 08, 10-11, G1.MDR-P_01-06)

Corporate culture and ethical foundations

Etteplan’s corporate culture is built on the principles outlined in its Code of Conduct, which defines 69 Senior Vice President for Human Resources, the Chief Financial Officer, and the HR Director of Finnish operations. These individuals are trained in the system and responsible for follow-up. Additional reporting channels include direct dialogue with supervisors, and escalation to senior leadership, and engagement with employee representatives in line with local legislation. The company enforces a strict non-retaliation policy and regularly reviews its whistleblowing process to ensure effectiveness.

Etteplan has a defined process for handling reports submitted through its whistleblowing channel. All reports are treated confidentially, protecting both the whistleblower and the individual under investigation. Etteplan applies a tiered protocol (levels 1–4) based on the severity of the reported offense, ensuring appropriate handling and escalation. Etteplan enforces a strict non-retaliation policy and regularly trains employees on reporting procedures and ethical standards. The whistleblowing process is reviewed periodically, with oversight from governance bodies to ensure effectiveness and alignment with good governance practices.

expected behaviors and business practices for all employees and partners. It serves as a practical guide for everyday decision-making and reflects the company’s ethical values.

To promote a strong and inclusive culture, Etteplan launched the Happy DEIs initiative in 2022, focusing on diversity, equity, and inclusion. In 2025, this was formalized through a DEI Policy, which applies globally and guides actions to ensure all employees feel valued and empowered.

Corporate culture is further supported through:

  • Mandatory eLearning courses, including Code of Conduct training (repeated every two years) and DEI-related modules.
  • Supplier Code of Conduct, which extends cultural expectations to the supply chain, emphasizing human rights and fair practices.
  • FuturETTE employee engagement survey, conducted regularly to gather feedback and guide improvements. Survey results lead to concrete development actions across the organization.

Etteplan’s leadership actively promotes corporate culture through strategic initiatives, policy development, and regular communication. The President & CEO and management teams play a key role in embedding cultural values into operations and decision-making. Etteplan views culture as a shared responsibility: every employee contributes to the working environment. Continuous improvement is driven by feedback, learning, and collaboration.

Training on business conduct

Etteplan’s training policy on business conduct is based on the Company’s Code of Conduct. The training is mandatory for all employees and forms part of the onboarding process for new hires. In addition, every employee is required to repeat the Code of Conduct eLearning course every two years to ensure continued awareness and alignment with Etteplan’s ethical standards. The Code of Conduct eLearning course covers key topics such as responsible decision-making, anti- bribery, and expectations for those in positions of influence, promoting a strong culture of integrity and compliance across all levels of the organization.

Mechanisms for reporting misconduct

Etteplan has clear mechanisms for identifying, reporting, and investigating concerns about unlawful behavior or violations of its Code of Conduct. A secure and anonymous whistleblowing channel, managed by a third-party provider (Falcony) and compliant with the EU Whistleblower Directive (2019/1937), is accessible for Etteplan’s employees in the intranet ette and for external stakeholders on the company’s website. Reports are handled confidentially by a designated team including the

All business conduct incidents, including those related to corruption and bribery, are investigated promptly, independently, and objectively. Reports are treated confidentially, and corrective actions are taken without delay when misconduct is confirmed. Whistleblowers are protected even if reports are unsubstantiated, reflecting Etteplan’s commitment to ethical governance. These procedures go beyond the legal requirements of the EU Whistleblower Directive and reflect Etteplan’s commitment to ethical business conduct and good governance.

Functions at risk for corruption and bribery

Etteplan’s Code of Conduct includes clear guidelines on preventing corruption and bribery, applicable to all employees and partners. As part of its business conduct risk assessment, Etteplan has reviewed internal functions and processes and, at this time, no specific functions have been identified as being at heightened risk for corruption or bribery. This conclusion is based on the nature of Etteplan’s operations, existing internal controls, and the absence of risk indicators in previous assessments. The Company continues to monitor and evaluate potential risk areas as part of its ongoing compliance and governance efforts. 70

G1-3 – Prevention and detection of corruption and bribery

BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS (G1-3_01–08)

Etteplan has a zero-tolerance policy for bribery, corruption, and money laundering, as outlined in its Code of Conduct. To detect and address incidents, Etteplan operates a confidential whistleblowing service accessible to employees, partners, customers, and other stakeholders. Reports are handled in compliance with the EU Whistleblowing Directive (No. 2019/1937) by designated senior personnel.

The company’s Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) system ensures continuous risk identification, assessment, and prioritization. Business continuity risks are evaluated through Business Impact Analysis, and critical risks are managed via documented recovery strategies. Periodic audits and drills validate and improve internal controls, with lessons learned integrated into procedures.

Anti-corruption and anti-bribery policies are communicated through a mandatory Code of Conduct eLearning course, included in onboarding and retaken every two years by all employees, including administrative, management, and supervisory bodies. The Code of Conduct is accessible via Etteplan’s intranet and website. Managers reinforce the Code of Conduct through example, team discussions, and proactive risk management. The training covers legal compliance, fair competition, fraud response, safeguarding data, insider information, and zero tolerance for bribery and corruption, ensuring employees can apply ethical principles in daily work. The training program covers 100% of employees, including all functions-at-risk and members of administrative, management, and supervisory bodies, ensuring consistent understanding of anti- corruption and anti-bribery principles across the organization.

Whistleblowing investigations are conducted by independent investigators, separate from the management chain responsible for prevention and detection of corruption or bribery. If a report involves an investigator, they immediately recuse themselves from the process. Etteplan maintains a structured reporting process for whistleblowing outcomes to administrative, management, and supervisory bodies. Cases are categorized into four tiers by severity: Tier 1 (crisis-level issues, such as business continuity risks or allegations involving senior management) are escalated to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, while less severe cases (e.g., Tier 4) are handled by HR or delegated to management.The Management Group is consistently informed of all whistleblowing matters, ensuring oversight and transparency across all levels.

ACTIONS AND EFFECTIVENESS IN GOVERNANCE PRACTICES (G1.MDR-A_01-12, G1-4–03)

Etteplan manages material impacts, risks, and opportunities related to corruption and bribery through a comprehensive governance framework. This includes a zero-tolerance policy, mandatory anti-corruption and bribery training, a whistleblowing mechanism, and integration into the Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) system. These measures are embedded in Etteplan’s Code of Conduct, which applies to all employees and partners and explicitly prohibits bribery and corruption. To extend these principles to the supply chain, Etteplan enforces a Supplier Code of Conduct and Supplier Policy. The Supplier Qualification Process ensures suppliers meet ethical standards. Key actions cover business operations, supplier onboarding, employee training, and internal audits across all global locations. Stakeholders include employees, suppliers, customers, partners, and other external parties.

The following table outlines the key actions taken and planned, their expected outcomes, and how they contribute to Etteplan’s anti-corruption objectives:

Key actions taken and planned Key Action Description Expected outcome Contribution to policy objectives
Code of Conduct enforcement Applies to all employees and partners Clear ethical standards Prevent bribery and corruption

Whistleblowing mechanism Confidential reporting channel Early detection of misconduct Enable remedy and accountability
ERM risk assessments Annual corruption/bribery risk reviews Risk mitigation Strengthen internal controls
Internal audits Regular audits with reporting to Audit Committee Governance oversight Ensure compliance and transparency

Time horizons for these actions are clearly defined: Code of Conduct training is repeated every two years, supplier qualification is ongoing, whistleblowing reviews and ERM risk assessments occur annually, and internal audits are conducted quarterly and annually.

Time horizons Key action Time horizon
Code of Conduct training Ongoing; retaken every 2 years
Supplier qualification process Ongoing
Whistleblowing reviews Annually

Etteplan’s whistleblowing service enables confidential reporting. Where material impacts occur, investigations are led by senior personnel, and corrective actions, disciplinary measures, and process improvements are implemented under governance oversight. Reports are handled in compliance with the EU Whistleblowing Directive (No. 2019/1937). Progress is monitored through training completion rates, whistleblowing case reviews, and audit findings. Internal audits in 2025 identified no major compliance breaches.

Confirmed incidents and legal outcomes

No confirmed incidents requiring remedy were reported during the reporting period. In 2025, Etteplan recorded 0 convictions for violation of anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws in its operations or value chain. Etteplan incurred EUR 0 in fines for such violations. Etteplan maintains a strict anti-corruption and anti-bribery policy, supported by regular employee training and compliance monitoring. These measures aim to prevent unethical practices and ensure adherence to applicable laws across all operations and the value chain.

2. A summary of significant accounting policies

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements are set out in this section. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless stated otherwise.

2.1 Basis for presentation

Basis for preparation
The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). They have been prepared in accordance with IAS and IFRS standards and SIC and IFRIC interpretations approved for implementation in EU directive N:o 1606/2002 at December 31, 2025. The notes to the Financial Statements are also prepared in accordance with the Finnish accounting and company regulation, which complements the IFRS requirements. The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for certain financial assets and financial liabilities, which are recognized at fair value. The preparation of the Financial Statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires the management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in note 2.2. Figures in the Financial Statements are presented in thousands of euros and are therefore rounded.

Consolidation
Subsidiaries are all such entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and can affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. The Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Group applies the measurement period of the acquisition accounting allowed by IFRS 3, during which the acquisition is treated as preliminary.

80

Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The CEO of the group acts as the chief operational decision-maker. The chief operational decision-maker evaluates the group’s financial performance and makes decisions regarding the group’s financial position. The financial information which the chief operating decision-maker uses as a basis for decision making, does not differ substantially from the information presented in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income and Statement of Financial Position.

Foreign currency translation
Items included in the Financial Statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“the functional currency”).The functional currency of subsidiaries is the currency of the economic environment in which the subsidiary operates. The Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in euro, which is the Group’s presentation currency. Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions, or valuation, where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the income statement, except when deferred in other comprehensive income as a net investment hedge. Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to loans and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the income statement within “Financial income” or “Financial expenses.” All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the income statement within “Other operating expenses.” The results and financial position of all the Group entities that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows: assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet income and expenses for each income statement are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions) and all resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income. Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and are translated at the closing rate. Exchange differences arising are recognized in equity.

The new standards, amendments and interpretations effective for the financial year beginning January 1, 2025, did not have a significant effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group.

New standards and interpretations not yet adopted

The IASB has issued a new standard, IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements, which replaces IAS 1 and introduces changes to the presentation of the income statement, the disclosure requirements for management-defined performance measures (MPMs), and the principles for aggregation and disaggregation. The standard is effective for financial periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Group is currently assessing the impacts of adopting IFRS 18 on its financial reporting. At present, the standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Group’s financial position or results; however, its application will affect the presentation of the financial statements and the structure of the notes. The assessment will continue during 2026. Other published standards and interpretations that are not yet effective are not expected to have a material impact on the Group’s financial statements.

2.2 Judgements and estimates

Preparing the consolidated financial statements requires management to exercise judgement in applying the accounting policies as well as to make estimates and assumptions about the future. These estimates and assumptions affect the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities at the reporting date and the income and expenses recognised during the financial period. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and related assumptions are based on management’s best knowledge at the reporting date and are reviewed continuously. Changes in estimates are recorded prospectively. The estimates reflect factors relating to the Group’s operating environment and the most probable expectations regarding future developments.

Judgements

The following notes present the key areas where Etteplan’s management has applied judgement in the application of accounting policies, and which have a material effect on amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements:

  • Note 4 – Revenue recognition: over time vs. at a point in time: Applying IFRS 15 requires judgement when assessing whether the criteria for revenue recognition over time are met. Management evaluates the customer’s ability to benefit from the service as it is being provided, the number of performance obligations, the transfer of control, and whether the Group has an enforceable right to payment if the customer terminates the contract.
  • Note 17 – Impairment testing, CGU structure and timing: Management determines the cash-generating units and assesses whether indicators of impairment exist, in which case impairment testing is performed more frequently than on the annual schedule. The selection of CGU structure is based on the Group’s operational organisation.
  • Note 23 – Factoring arrangements: transfer of risks and rewards: Assessing the transfer of risks and rewards requires judgement when determining whether the risks and benefits of transferred trade receivables have passed to the financier. If risks and rewards are deemed transferred, trade receivables are derecognised.

Assumptions and Estimation Uncertainty

The following notes present information on future-oriented assumptions and estimation uncertainties as at December 31, 2025, which may pose a significant risk of material changes to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities in the next financial period:

  • Note 4 – Stage of completion, cost estimates and contract modifications: Revenue recognition for projects recognised over time is based on the stage of completion, determined by the ratio of actual to estimated total costs. Estimating total costs involves uncertainty, including the assessment of additional work and contract modifications.
  • Note 8 – Pension obligations, actuarial assumptions: Calculating pension obligations requires key actuarial assumptions such as discount rates, salary growth and increases in pension benefits. Even small changes in assumptions may materially impact the obligation.
  • Note 16 – Contingent consideration liabilities, recognition of the obligation, fair value measurement and profit impact: The amount of additional consideration liabilities is based on estimates of the future performance of the acquired company. The assessment of whether an obligation to pay additional consideration arises from contractual terms involves significant judgement and uncertainty. The estimated liability is reassessed at each reporting date, with changes recognised in profit or loss.
  • Note 17 – Impairment testing, cash flows, discount rates and sensitivity analysis: Impairment testing involves significant estimation uncertainty. Management assesses whether there are indicators of impairment, in which case impairment testing is performed more frequently than on an annual basis. Impairment testing of goodwill and CGUs involves estimating future cash flows, discount rates, growth assumptions, profitability trends and investment needs. Small changes in these assumptions may result in significant changes in the recoverable amount.
  • Notes 20 and 26 – Leases, lease term, extension options and discount rate: Leases involve significant estimation uncertainty. The present value of lease liabilities is based on estimates of future lease payments, lease terms and the Group’s incremental borrowing rate. Management also assesses whether the exercise of extension options is reasonably certain, which affects the determined lease term as well as the carrying amounts of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. These estimates involve uncertainty, and changes in management’s assumptions may result in material changes to balance sheet items.
  • Note 23 – IFRS 9 expected credit losses, forward-looking information and payment delays: Expected credit losses depend on forward-looking macroeconomic information (e.g. economic growth scenarios), customer payment behaviour and the ageing analysis of trade receivables.
  • Note 24 – Fair value of unquoted investments: Unlisted equity investments are measured using discounted cash flow models. The valuation involves uncertainty, particularly with respect to cash flow forecasts and the discount rate.

2.3 Revenue recognition

Etteplan’s revenue streams consist mainly of the following three service areas:

  • Engineering Solutions refer to the innovation, engineering and calculations of the technical attributes of machinery or equipment for the purpose of product development and manufacturing. Assignments are typically product development projects for a new product, plant engineering projects or Engineering-to-Order projects, involving the customization of the product in accordance with end customer requirements and the market area’s legislation.
  • Software and Embedded Solutions refer to product development services and technology solutions that allow the controlling of machines and equipment and enable their digital connectivity as part of the Internet of Things.
  • Technical Communication and Data Solutions refer to the documentation of a product’s technical attributes, such as manuals and service instructions for the users of a product, as well as related content management and distribution in print or digital form.

Revenue includes revenue from contracts with customers adjusted for indirect taxes and discounts. Revenue is recognized following a five-step model, on the basis of which the timing and amount of revenue to be recognized is determined. The model involves identifying the contract with the customer and its performance obligations, determining transaction prices, allocating transaction prices to performance obligations and recognizing revenue.

82Revenue is recognized when the customer obtains control of the promised service or product, either over time or at a point in time. The Group recognizes revenue in a way that represents the rendering of the promised services or goods to the customer, and to such an amount that represents the compensation the Group expects to be entitled to in exchange for the goods and services. Contracts with customers do not include a significant financial component. Etteplan divides its services into the following categories according to the applied method of revenue recognition:

  • Design and consultancy projects, where either a fixed price or a target price limiting the amount of revenue that can be recognized for the project is set in the agreement with the customer. In this type of projects, revenue is recognized over time based on the percentage of completion method, because the Group’s performance creates an asset that has no alternative use for the Group and the Group has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. The percentage of completion is measured as the costs of the project realized as a proportion to the total expected costs of the project, because it is seen as the most accurate way of measuring the transfer of control to the customer. If the agreement includes separately identifiable performance obligations, revenue for each performance obligation is recognized separately. Dealing with separate performance obligations does not involve significant considerations. In the case of contracts whose outcome cannot be assessed reliably, project expenditure is expensed and revenue is recognized to an amount not exceeding the expenditure. The total loss on a contract that will probably result in a loss is expensed immediately. Incentives, additional work and changes related to the project are recognized in the revenue and costs of the project to the extent that can be estimated reliably, or that is agreed upon with the customer. The revenue for additional work and changes are recognized separately when they comprise a separate performance obligation and are priced according to stand-alone transaction prices.

  • Design and consultancy projects, where all costs incurred can be invoiced to the customer without other limitations than the agreed invoicing price. In this type of projects revenue is recognized over time as the service is being performed. The performance obligation in the agreement with the customer is most typically one working hour and it is considered to be fulfilled over time, because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the service.

  • Arrangements, where the customer buys a license to software created by Etteplan and maintenance related to the license. Revenue for the license itself is recognized when the customer obtains access to the license. Revenue for maintenance related to the license is recognized over time as the service is rendered.

Transaction prices are based on customer agreements, where separate prices are set for separate performance obligations. Generally, the pricing of separate performance obligations equals their standalone transaction prices. Changes to customer agreements as well as additional work agreed on, are mainly recognized as separate customer agreements. The Group has enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date, in case the project is terminated, in essentially all of its projects. Costs incurred from work performed and transferred to customer, but not yet invoiced, are activated as contract assets and included in the balance sheet line item Contract assets. Contract assets are transferred to Trade payables upon invoicing, which is generally done on a monthly basis. Invoices are most typically payable within 30 days. Payments received from customers in advance of work being transferred are recorded as contract liabilities in the balance sheet line item “Advance payments.” These amounts are recognized as revenue as the work is being transferred to the customer.

In applying IFRS 15 the Group uses the practical expedient permitted by the standard and does not disclose the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied as at the end of the reporting period or the estimated timing of satisfaction, because the unsatisfied performance obligations are either part of contracts that have an original expected duration of one year or less or the Group has the right to invoice a customer at an amount that corresponds directly with its performance to date. 83

2.4 Government grants

Government grants received as compensation for incurred expenses are recorded in the income statement under other operating income, while the expenses related to the grant are recorded as expenses under other operating expenses.

2.5 Non-recurring items

Non-recurring items are disclosed separately in the Financial Statements when this helps to improve the understanding of the Group’s financial performance. They are material items of income and expense that are shown separately due to the significance of their nature or amount. Non-recurring items can include, among other things, costs and income related to business combinations as well as certain reorganization costs.

2.6 Employee benefits

Pension obligations

Group companies operate various pension schemes. The schemes are generally funded through payments to insurance companies or trustee-administered funds, determined by periodic actuarial calculations. The Group has both defined benefit and defined contribution plans.

A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into an external entity managing pension insurances. The Group has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions. The contributions are recognized as employee benefit expenses when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.

A defined benefit plan is a pension plan that is not a defined contribution plan. The pension liability for a defined benefit pension plan is determined annually by an independent actuary. Defined benefit plans define an amount of pension benefit that an employee will receive on retirement, dependent on one or more factors such as age, years of service and compensation. Under a defined benefit pension plan, the Group’s obligation includes the actuarial and investment risks related to the plan in addition to the payments made under the plan. The pension expenses related to defined benefits are calculated using the Projected Unit Credit Method. Pension expenses are recognized as expenses by distributing them over the estimated period of service of the personnel concerned. The amount of the pension obligation is the present value of the estimated future pensions payable (Note 8). In Sweden and the Netherlands, the Group has multi-employer defined benefit plans, of which there is not sufficient information available to use benefit accounting. These plans are accounted as defined contribution plans.

Bonus plans

The Group recognizes a liability and an expense for bonuses based on a formula that takes into consideration the profit attributable to the Company’s shareholders after certain adjustments. The Group recognizes the expense and liability where contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation.

Share-based incentive plans

Share-based incentive plans are treated as arrangements that are settled partly as shares and partly as cash. The part of a remuneration earned that the participants receive as Etteplan Oyj shares is treated as an arrangement that is fully settled as shares and recorded in shareholders’ equity, the part of a remuneration earned that is paid in cash to pay off taxes and other levies is recorded in liabilities. The fair value of the employee services received in exchange for the grant of the shares is recognized as an expense. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the shares granted taking into account market performance conditions and non-vesting conditions. At the end of each reporting period, the Group revises its estimates of the number of shares that are expected to vest based on the non-market vesting conditions and service conditions. The Group recognizes the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in the income statement, with a corresponding adjustment in equity.

2.7 Current and deferred income tax

The taxes in the consolidated income statement include the current tax for the Group companies, corrections to taxes from previous financial periods, and the change in deferred taxes. Current tax is calculated on taxable income according to the tax rate in force in each country concerned. In the case of items entered directly in shareholders’ equity, the tax effect is recognized in equity. Deferred income tax is recognized on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts. The most significant temporary differences arise from the depreciation and amortization of assets and fair value adjustments (customer agreements and non-competition agreements) and the depreciation in excess of plan in subsidiaries. Deferred taxes are determined by using the tax base in force on the balance sheet date or the enacted tax base at the time of tax base transition. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. It is evaluated at the end of each financial period, whether the conditions for recognizing a deferred tax asset are met. 84

2.8 Interest and dividend income

Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method.When a receivable is impaired, the Group reduces the carrying amount to its recoverable amount, being the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate of the instrument, and continues unwinding the discount as interest income. Interest income on impaired receivables is recognized using the original effective interest rate. Dividend income is recognized when the shareholder gains the right to receive payment.

2.9 Goodwill and Impairment testing

Goodwill corresponds to that part of the acquisition cost which exceeds the Group’s share of the fair value, on the date of purchase, for the net asset value of the acquired subsidiary. Goodwill is measured at historical cost less impairment. Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment annually and whenever there is objective evidence of goodwill impairment. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose, taking into account the current organization structure and level of reporting.

The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period, whether there are indications of impairment of non-financial assets. Assets that have an indefinite useful life – for example, goodwill or intangible assets not ready to use – are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject to amortization, as well as assets with unlimited useful life, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized through profit or loss for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to dispose and value-in-use. Value-in-use is defined as the discounted estimated future net cash flows generated by the asset or cash-generating unit. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows. The impairment loss recognized for non-financial assets other than goodwill is reversed, in case there has been a change in the estimates of recoverable amount. The impairment loss is only reversed to the amount of the book value of the asset before impairment. An impairment loss for goodwill is not reversed under any circumstances. The essential assumptions for impairment tests are presented in note 17.

2.10 Intangible assets

Intangible assets consist of intangible rights, development expenses, and customer base and non-competition agreements, which were acquired in business combinations. Intangible assets acquired in business combinations are recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Other intangible assets are recorded in the balance sheet at historical cost considering accumulated amortizations. Assets with limited useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives. The amortization periods of intangible assets are:

Asset Type Amortization Period
Intangible rights 3 to 7 years
Development expenses 3 to 5 years
Customer base 10 years
Non-competition agreements 3 years

The residual value, useful life and amortization method of each asset is examined at the end of each financial year and adjusted, if necessary, to reflect the changes in expectations of the economic benefits to be gained from the asset. Intangible rights mainly include software licenses owned by the Group. Internally created intangible assets include capitalized development expenses related to software products created by the Group. Development costs that are directly attributable to the design and testing of identifiable and unique software products controlled by the Group are recognized as intangible assets when the following criteria are met:

  • it is technically feasible to complete the software so that it will be available for use
  • management intends to complete the software and use or sell it
  • there is an ability to use or sell the software
  • it can be demonstrated how the software will generate probable future economic benefits
  • adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the software are available, and
  • the expenditure attributable to the software during its development can be reliably measured.

85

Directly attributable costs, which are capitalized as part of the software product include the software development employee costs and such overhead costs that are directly attributable to the development. Other development expenditures that do not meet these criteria are recognized as an expense as incurred. Development costs previously recognized as an expense are not recognized as an asset in a subsequent period. Computer software development costs recognized as assets are amortized over their useful lives. Significant, unfinished intangible assets are tested for impairment annually. Research costs are recognized as an expense as incurred.

2.11 Tangible assets

Tangible assets are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of a replaced part is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they occur. Depreciation on other assets is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost to their residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

Asset Type Useful Life
Buildings 50 years
Computers 3 years
Vehicles 4 to 5 years
Office furniture 5 to 10 years
Renovation of premises 5 to 7 years

Land areas are not depreciated. The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (note 2.9). Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognized in other operating income or expenses in the income statement.

2.12 Lease agreements

The group’s lease agreements mainly consist of office spaces, vehicles, computers, equipment, and software. Rental contracts are typically made for fixed periods of 3 to 10 years but may have extension options as described below. At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Leases are recognized as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Group.

Lease liabilities (note 26) include the net present value of the following lease payments:

  • fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable
  • variable lease payments that are based on an index or a rate
  • amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees
  • the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option
  • payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option.

The lease liability is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Group’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, if the Group changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option or if there is a revised in-substance fixed lease payment. When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be determined, or the Group’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. The interest expenses related to leases are presented in note 12.

Right-of-use assets (note 20) are measured at cost comprising the following:

  • the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability
  • any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received
  • any initial direct costs
  • restoration costs.

86

After the commencement date the right-of-use asset is measured at amortized cost less impairment. It is adjusted with certain remeasurements of the lease liability. The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis. The right-of-use asset is tested for impairment, when necessary, and the possible impairment is recognized through profit or loss. The Group assesses on a contract-by-contract basis whether the criteria for applying the IFRS 16 practical expedient for low-value assets are met. If the leased asset is considered to be of low value, the Group applies the practical expedient and recognises the lease payments as expenses on a straight-line basis. Low-value assets include IT equipment and office furniture (see Note 9). Extension options are included in several of the Group’s office premises rental agreements. These terms are used to maximize operational flexibility in terms of managing contracts.The Group’s management uses judgment when determining the extent to which the extension options are used. The extension options are used in such a way that the lease term for lease agreements is at least 18 months also for lease agreements with non-cancelable term of under 18 months, unless the lease agreement in question is canceled or a decision for a specific timing of cancelation has been made. For lease agreements in which the original non-cancelable term is 18 months or more, extension options are used up to 18 months, when the remaining non-cancelable term is under 18 months. The management believes this gives the most accurate view of the Group’s total lease liability. If the extension options were used up to 12 months instead of 18 months, the right-of-use assets and lease liability related to premises would decrease by approximately EUR 1.2 million. If the extension options were used up to 24 months the corresponding effect in balance sheet items would be an increase of approximately EUR 1.6 million.

2.13 Inventory

Inventory is measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the FIFO method and includes direct materials, direct labor, and a proportional share of both variable and fixed production overheads, with fixed overheads allocated based on normal operating capacity. Net realizable value represents the estimated selling price obtainable in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the costs necessary to complete the sale.

2.14 Financial instruments

Financial instruments and their fair values by measurement category are detailed in note 24.

Recognition

Regular purchases and sales of financial instruments are recognized on the trade-date – the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the instrument. At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial instrument at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial instrument. Transaction costs of financial instruments carried at FVPL are expensed in profit or loss. Financial assets are derecognized 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. Financial liabilities are derecognized when the liability has ceased, that is, the obligation specified in the agreement is fulfilled or revoked or its validity has ended.

Classification

The Group classifies its financial instruments in the following subsequent measurement categories:

Categories of financial assets:
* measured at amortized cost
* measured at fair value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVOCI)
* measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL).

The classification of financial assets depends on the Group’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. The classification changes only if the business model changes.

Categories of financial liabilities:
* measured at amortized cost, and
* measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL).

87

Subsequent measurement

Gains and losses for assets and liabilities measured at fair value will either be recorded in profit or loss or OCI. The Group measures all its equity investments at FVOCI, because the Group’s management has made an irrevocable election to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in OCI. There is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss following the derecognition of these investments. Only the dividends from these investments are recognized in profit or loss when the Group’s right to receive payments is established.

Trade receivables are recognized initially at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortized cost, less provision for impairment. Trade receivables are classified as current assets, if collection is expected in one year or less. Otherwise, they are classified as non-current assets. Expected credit losses are estimated as described in note 23.1.4. Trade receivables transferred to a financial institution in factoring arrangements are not included in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, because the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the transferred trade receivables.

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks. Items included under cash and cash equivalents have maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition. Cash and cash equivalents are derecognized when the Group’s contractual right to receive cash flows has expired or essentially all of the risks and rewards incident to ownership have been transferred from the Group.

Trade payables and other payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired from suppliers in the ordinary course of business. They are classified as current liabilities unless payment is not due within one year or less after the reporting period.

Loans are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred, and are subsequently carried at amortized cost, with any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

Impairment

The Group assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at amortized cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. See note 23.1.4 for further details.

3. Segment reporting

The group’s business is divided into three service areas: Engineering Solutions, Software and Embedded Solutions, and Technical Communication Solutions. Each service area constitutes its own reportable segment. The revenues of the segments mainly consist of providing services.

Engineering Solutions refer to the innovation, engineering and calculations of the technical attributes of machinery or equipment for the purpose of product development and manufacturing. Assignments are typically product development projects for a new product, plant engineering projects or Engineering-to-Order projects, involving the customization of the product in accordance with end customer requirements and the market area’s legislation.

Software and Embedded Solutions refer to product development services and technology solutions that allow the controlling of machines and equipment and enable their digital connectivity as part of the Internet of Things.

Technical Communication and Data Solutions refer to the documentation of a product’s technical attributes, such as manuals and service instructions for the users of a product, as well as related content management and distribution in print or digital form.

Defined Employee Benefits

In Sweden and the Netherlands, a part of the pension arrangements are multi-employer defined benefit plans, which are secured through an insurance. The plans pool the assets contributed by various entities that are not under common control. The assets provide benefits to employees of more than one entity. Sufficient information for the calculation of obligations and asset by employer is not available from the insurers. Therefore, these plans are treated in accounting as defined contribution plans. Etteplan’s share of the total premiums paid to the arrangement and the share of employees participating in the arrangements is minor. Total amount paid to the insurer in 2025 was EUR 1,417 thousand (EUR 1,404 thousand) and in the Netherlands EUR 1,074 thousand (EUR 1,233 thousand). The payment level is not expected to change materially in the next financial period compared to the period under review.

Etteplan Germany GmbH has a defined benefit pension plan. The recognition of the plan is based on the principles presented in Note 2.6. The plan is unfunded and has an average maturity of 15 years. Contributions paid during the financial year 2025 amounted to EUR 0.3 million (EUR 0.3 million). Contributions expected to be paid to the plan during the financial year 2026 amount to EUR 0.3 million.

Performance Share Plan 2023–2025

The Board of Directors of Etteplan Oyj decided on April 20, 2023, to establish a new share incentive plan for the Group’s key personnel. The plan ended on December 31, 2025. Approximately 35 people belonged to the plan, including the Management Group of Etteplan. The rewards to be paid on the basis of the plan corresponded to the value of a maximum total of 300,000 Etteplan Oyj shares (including also the portion to be paid in cash). The aim of the share incentive plan was to combine the objectives of the shareholders and the key personnel in order to increase the value of Etteplan, to commit the key personnel to the company, and to offer them a competitive reward plan based on earning the company shares. The plan included one earning period which included the calendar years 2023-2025. The plan was in line with Etteplan’s strategy and supported reaching the company’s financial targets. The earnings criteria were Etteplan Group’s revenue increase and earnings per share development. The earnings criteria were not met and, consequently, no rewards will be paid under the incentive plan.

15. Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit for the financial year attributable to equity holders of the parent company by the weighted average number of externally owned shares during the financial year. The shares to be paid out as rewards of the share-based incentive plan will be transferred from the shares held by the Company or shares acquired from the market, and therefore the incentive plan will have no diluting effect on the share value.

Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units (CGUs) for determination of impairment. In impairment testing, the recoverable amount is defined as value-in-use. Value-in-use is defined as the discounted estimated future net cash flows generated by the asset or cash-generating unit. The Group’s management has defined the CGUs to be the three service areas in which the Group’s operations are organized. The impairment test is done in the fourth quarter after budgets for the next year were done and it is based on goodwill as per September 30, but will be updated as necessary to reflect the situation as of December 31st. Cash flows after tax are based on budget figures for year one and financials approved by management for the next five-year period.The management makes estimations on the market demand and market environment, which are checked against external information sources. When defining the cash flow, attention is paid to anticipated price and margin development as well as costs, net working capital and investment needs. The management determines these based on past performance and expectations for market development. The discount rate used to discount the estimated net cash flows has been determined based on the post-tax weighted average cost of capital (WACC), which reflects the overall cost of equity and liabilities. The discount rate is based on the 30-year government bond rate of the country in which the CGU subject to impairment testing primarily operates. The bond rates have been adjusted to reflect general market risk as well as the business-specific risk of each CGU. The recoverable amount is compared with the book value of the cash-generating unit. An impairment loss is booked as cost in the income statement, if the recoverable amount is lower than the book value. No impairment loss has been booked during the financial year or the comparison year.

Sensitivity analysis

In connection with impairment testing, sensitivity analyses were performed using the following variables:

  • Zero growth in net sales
  • Decrease of profitability (EBIT) by 4 percentage points
  • Increase of discount rate by 4 percentage points.

The realization of the variables used in the sensitivity analysis would not result in impairment losses in the cash-generating units.

23. Management of financial risks

This note explains the Group’s exposure to financial risks and how these risks could affect the Group’s future financial performance.

23.1 Financial risk factors

In its business operations, the Group is exposed to several types of financial risks: foreign currency, interest, financing and liquidity, counterparty and credit risks. The objective of financial risk management is to protect the Group from unfavorable changes in the financial market and thus contribute as much as possible to guaranteeing the Group’s profitability and equity, and to guarantee sufficient liquidity in a cost-efficient manner. Management of financial risks has been centralized with the Group’s financial department, which is responsible for identification and evaluation of, and protection against, the Group’s financial risks. Furthermore, the financial department is responsible, in a centralized fashion, for funding of the Group, and it provides the management with information about the financial situation of the Group and the business units.

23.1.1 Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk related to different currencies comes about as a result of foreign currency-denominated commercial transactions and from translation of foreign-currency-denominated balance sheet items into the reporting currency.

Transaction risk

The majority of the Group’s business operations are handled in the currency of the project country of the respective Group company. This means that both sales and costs are in the same currency.

Translation risk

The Group is exposed to a translation risk caused by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, when it translates balance sheet items of subsidiaries based outside the euro area into its reporting currency. The main risk is with goodwill booked in Swedish Krona (SEK). The goodwill booked in SEK at the end of the financial year was EUR 33,992 thousand (2023: EUR 31,265 thousand). A sensitivity analysis of the effect of reasonable potential changes in exchange rates on the Group’s profit for the financial year, equity and goodwill at balance sheet date is presented in the table below. In the analysis, the change in exchange rates has been estimated to be +/-10 percent from reporting date, and other factors are estimated to remain unchanged.## 23. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

23.1 Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets. Consistent with other companies in the industry, the Group monitors capital on the basis of the net gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by equity. Net debt is calculated as total gross interest-bearing debt less cash and cash equivalents. To ensure sufficient flexibility, the goal is to keep the net gearing ratio within 30-100 percent. The following table sets out the Group’s net gearing ratio:

EUR 1,000 2025 2024
Gross interest-bearing debt 102,011 95,872
Less: Cash and cash equivalents -30,366 -25,241
Net debt 71,645 70,631
Total equity 122,142 117,803
Net gearing ratio 58.7% 60.0%

23.1.1 Foreign exchange risk

The Group is primarily exposed to foreign exchange risk on transactions denominated in EUR, SEK, PLN and CNY. The Group’s main operating currency is EUR. The Group’s foreign exchange risk management policy is to hedge significant foreign currency exposures arising from operational activities and financing by using forward contracts. The Group does not hedge translation exposure arising from the consolidation of foreign subsidiaries.

EUR/DKK 10% increase -140 -543 -967
EUR/DKK 10% decrease 171 664 1,181

23.1.2 Interest risk

The Group is exposed to interest risk in two ways: because of changes in value for balance sheet items (i.e. price risk) and cash flow risk caused by changes in market interest rates. On the balance sheet date, the total amount of interest-bearing debt excluding lease liabilities was EUR 80,382 thousand (EUR 76,661 thousand) covered with contracts in which the interest range is between 3.10 and 4.09 percent (3.68 and 4.19 percent). All of the Group’s loans have variable interest rates. The Group monitors the interest risk by calculating the effect of one percentage point change in interest rates on the Group’s next twelve months’ interest expenses. The sensitivity of the interest position to changes in interest rates is determined by calculating how much an equal one percentage point change in interest rates throughout the Group’s interest rate range would change yearly interest expenses. Only interest bearing loans from financial institutions are included in the calculation. Lease liabilities are not included in the calculation. At the balance sheet date, the Group’s sensitivity to an increase in interest rates of one percentage point was approximately EUR 821 thousand (2024: EUR 238 thousand).

23.1.3 Financing and liquidity risk

The Group aims to guarantee solid liquidity in all market conditions through efficient cash management. Credit limits tied to cash pool arrangements are used for short-term financing. On the balance sheet date, the Group had EUR 15,920 thousand (EUR 16,082 thousand) of available credit limits, of which none (2024: none) was in use. Refinancing risk is attempted to be minimized by applying a balanced maturity schedule to the loan portfolio, ensuring sufficient maturity of loans, and using several banks as sources of financing. The level of financing is increased through additional loans when necessary. The Group has financial covenants, which are tied to the equity ratio of the Group and to the debt/EBITDA ratio of the Group, and these mainly apply to all the group loans. In case the Group’s equity ratio at the time of the Financial Statements is below 25 percent or the debt/EBITDA ratio is higher than 3.5, the financer has the right to demand immediate payment of all the Group’s loans. The Group tests loan covenants quarterly. Based on figures from the interim reports and the Consolidated Financial Statements in 2024 and in 2025, the terms of these covenants were not breached, therefore, the loans are classified as long-term to the extent that they mature in more than one year. The Group believes it will comply with the covenant terms for the next 12 months from the reporting date. To balance the cash effect of the long payment terms typical to design business, the Group sells a part of its key customer receivables to a finance institution. There is no credit risk related to the sold receivables and these receivables are not included in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The maturity analysis of financial liabilities is based on contractual cash flows in accordance with IFRS standards. The maturity analysis of loans includes both principal and interest. The maturity analysis of lease liabilities is based on undiscounted future lease payments.

  • In 2024, retention amount from LAE acquisition EUR 500 thousand was reclassified from non-interest bearing liabilities to interest-bearing liabilities.

23.1.4 Counterparty and credit risk

Financing contracts have the associated risk of the counterparty being unable to fulfill its obligations under the contract. To minimize the counterparty risk financing contracts are concluded with leading Nordic banks that have a good credit rating. Credit risk related to business operations arises out of a customer’s inability to perform its contractual obligations. A considerable proportion of the Group’s business operations focus on large, financially solid companies that operate internationally. Credit risk is also reduced by the customer companies being divided among several different sectors of operation. The Group aims to ensure that services are sold only to such customers that have an appropriate credit rating. Credit risk is controlled systematically, and overdue sales receivables are assessed on a weekly basis. The Company strives to control the effects of increased financial uncertainty by actively monitoring its receivables and by an efficient debt collection process. The maximum customer credit risk exposure at the end of the financial year is the book value of accounts receivable.

Expected credit loss allowance

To measure expected credit losses the Group applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables and contract assets including amounts not due. As described in the table below, trade receivables and contract assets are grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due. The measurement of the expected credit losses includes forward-looking information in the form of the estimated growth of the EU gross domestic product. Expected credit losses are considered immaterial overall. In addition to the lifetime expected credit loss allowance, the Group’s management estimates expected credit losses case-by-case basis. As a general rule, the Group recognizes a 50 per cent impairment allowance for receivables that are more than 60 days past due and a 100 per cent impairment allowance for receivables that are more than 90 days past due, unless a case-specific assessment provides a justified reason to deviate from these percentages.

Trade receivables and contract assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, amongst others, the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan with the Group.

23.2 Capital risk management

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets. Consistent with other companies in the industry, the Group monitors capital on the basis of the net gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by equity. Net debt is calculated as total gross interest-bearing debt less cash and cash equivalents. To ensure sufficient flexibility, the goal is to keep the net gearing ratio within 30-100 percent.

25. Equity

Shareholder’s equity

Shareholders’ equity consists of share capital, share premium account, unrestricted equity fund, own shares, cumulative translation adjustment, other reserves and retained earnings.

Share premium account contains the emission gain from the original stock listing as well as funds raised in bonus issues.

Unrestricted equity fund includes funds raised in share issues, which the board has decided to record in the Unrestricted equity fund with the authorization of the general meeting.

Translation differences contain translation differences arising from the conversion of financial statements of foreign units and the foreign subsidiary net investment hedge. The aggregate amount of the net investment hedge (EUR 149 thousand) related to the Swedish unit is recorded in the profit and loss statement upon disposal of the unit.

Other reserves include the fair value reserve, which consists of fair value adjustments of investments at fair value through other comprehensive income, amounting to EUR 3,343 thousand (EUR 70 thousand). The aggregate amount of fair value adjustments are recorded in Retained earnings upon disposal of the investments.

107

Share and share capital

Etteplan Oyj has one series of shares. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. The fully paid and registered share capital of the Company at the end of the financial year was EUR 5,000,000 and the number of shares was 25,350,793 (25,350,793). No changes in share capital occurred during the financial year. The Company has one series of shares. Each share entitles its holder to one vote in the shareholders’ meeting and gives an equal right to dividends. Shares are listed on Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd under the ETTE ticker. The share has no nominal value and there is no maximum number of shares. All issued shares are fully paid.

Where any Group company purchases the Company’s equity share capital (treasury shares), the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders until the shares are cancelled or reissued. Where such shares are subsequently reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the equity holders of the Parent Company. The number of company-held shares at the end of the financial year was 100,921 (100,921). The Board of Directors’ authorization to acquire and dispose own shares and to increase the share capital through a rights issue is disclosed in the Board of directors’ review.

A liability is recognized for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorized and no longer at the discretion of the entity, on or before the end of the reporting period but not distributed at the end of the reporting period. The Board of Directors has proposed to the Annual General Meeting a dividend of EUR 0.22 to be paid per share for the financial year 2025. For the financial year 2024 dividend of EUR 0.22 was paid.

31. Events after the balance sheet date

After the end of the financial year, Etteplan initiated change negotiations on February 10, 2026, within its Software and Embedded Solutions service area in Finland. The change negotiations concerned all employees in the service area in Finland, totaling 336 employees. The change negotiations were concluded on March 13, 2026. As a result of the negotiations, the company has decided to terminate the employment of up to 28 employees, with the terminations intended to be implemented by March 31, 2026. In addition, the company will temporarily or indefinitely lay off 35 employees until further notice. The aim of the change negotiations was to adjust the operations of the service area to the challenging market situation and weakened demand, as well as to align the service area’s competence base with structural changes in the industry. The overall financial impact of the one-off costs arising from the change negotiations and the future cost savings cannot be reliably estimated at the time of preparing the financial statements.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE PARENT COMPANY

Parent company’s accounting policies

The financial statements of the parent company, Etteplan Oyj, are prepared in accordance with Finnish accounting and company legislation (FAS). Etteplan Oyj’s revenue consists of software and management fees from Group companies.

Measurement of non-current assets

Non-current assets are capitalized in the balance sheet at historical cost less depreciation according to plan and possible impairment loss. Depreciation according to plan is based on the estimated useful life of the asset. The useful lives of other non-current assets are:
software 5 years
computers 3 years
office furniture 5 to 10 years
renovation of premises 5 years
goodwill 5 to 10 years
capitalized development expenditure 3 to 5 years

Maintenance and repair costs are expensed. Major basic improvement investments are capitalized and depreciated over their useful life. Capital gains and losses arising on the retirement and sale of non-current assets are included either in other operating income or under other operating expenses. Other investments are measured at acquisition cost or at a lower probable realizable value. Impairments on other investments are recognized as expenses under financial expenses.

Income taxes

Taxes in the income statement include taxes based on taxable earnings for the financial period as well as corrections to taxes for previous periods. Taxes based on taxable earnings are calculated using the tax rate in force at the time of the financial statement.

Pension agreements

Pension security for the employees of the parent company is arranged with external pension insurance companies. Pension expenses are recorded as expenses in the year in which they are incurred.

Lease agreements

EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE

The events described in the consolidated financial statements do not have a direct impact on the parent company.

On December 31, 2025, the parent company’s distributable shareholders’ equity amounted to EUR 94,0 million, of which the net profit for the financial year was EUR 4,2 million. The Board of Directors proposes that from the distributable funds at the disposal of the Annual General Meeting, a dividend of EUR 0.22 per share be paid on the Company’s externally owned shares, for a maximum amount of EUR 5,6 million. Dividend will not be paid out to shares that are company-held on the record date of dividend payout, April 13, 2026.No substantial changes have occurred in the financial position of the Company since the end of the financial year. The Company’s liquidity is good and the Board of Directors judges that the proposed distribution of dividend will not endanger the Company’s solvency. It is proposed that the dividend be paid on April 20, 2026.

Confirmation of the Board of Directors and the CEO

We confirm that the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union and the financial statements of the parent company prepared in accordance with the laws and regulations governing the preparation of financial statements in Finland give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the company and the undertakings included in the consolidation taken as a whole; the management report includes a fair review of the development and performance of the business and the position of the company and the undertakings included in the consolidation taken as a whole, together with a description of the principal risks and uncertainties that they face and that the sustainability report within management report is prepared in accordance with sustainability reporting standards referred to in Chapter 7 of the Accounting Act and with the Article 8 of Taxonomy Regulation.

Auditor’s Report

To the Annual General Meeting of Etteplan Oyj

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Etteplan Oyj (business identity code 0545456-2) for the year ended 31 December, 2025. The financial statements comprise the consolidated balance sheet, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity, statement of cash flows and notes, including material accounting policy information, as well as the parent company’s balance sheet, income statement, statement of cash flows and notes.

In our opinion the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the group’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU the financial statements give a true and fair view of the parent company’s financial performance and financial position in accordance with the laws and regulations governing the preparation of financial statements in Finland and comply with statutory requirements.

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

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 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. In our best knowledge and understanding, the non-audit services that we have provided to the parent company and group companies are in compliance with laws and regulations applicable in Finland regarding these services, and we have not provided any prohibited non-audit services referred to in Article 5(1) of regulation (EU) 537/2014. The non-audit services that we have provided have been disclosed in note 10 to the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Materiality

The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. The materiality is determined based on our professional judgement and is used to determine the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of identified misstatements on the financial statements as a whole. The level of materiality we set is based on our assessment of the magnitude of misstatements that, individually or in aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have influence on the economic decisions of the users of the financial statements. We have also taken into account misstatements and/or possible misstatements that in our opinion are material for qualitative reasons for the users of the 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. The significant risks of material misstatement referred to in the EU Regulation No 537/2014 point (c) of Article 10(2) are included in the description of key audit matters below.

This document is an English translation of the Finnish auditor’s report. Only the Finnish version of the report is legally binding.

126

We have also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls. This includes consideration of whether there was evidence of management bias that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.

The Key Audit Matter How the matter was addressed in the audit
Valuation of goodwill – Accounting Policies and Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements Goodwill, totaling EUR 126.7 million, has increased by EUR 7.5 million during the financial period as a result of acquisitions, and is a significant individual item in the consolidated balance sheet. Goodwill is tested for impairment when indicators of impairment exist, or at least annually. Goodwill impairment testing is conducted by comparing the carrying value with the recoverable amount using a discounted cash flow model. Estimating future cash flows underlying the impairment tests involves a significant element of management judgment, particularly in respect of growth in net sales, profitability and discount rates. Valuation of goodwill is considered a key audit matter due to the significant carrying value and high level of management judgement involved. We critically analyzed the management’s assumptions that form the basis on which the cash flow projections for future years are prepared. We assessed the appropriateness of the discount rate used and the technical integrity of calculations as well as for comparison of the assumptions used to the market and industry- specific data. In addition, we assessed the adequacy of the sensitivity analyses and the appropriate presentation of notes related to impairment tests in the consolidated financial statements.
The Key Audit Matter How the matter was addressed in the audit
Revenue Recognition – Accounting Policies and Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements Revenue recognition consists mainly of revenue from rendering of services. Total revenue amounted to EUR 361.4 million. Revenue recognition is a key audit matter due to the significance of revenue when assessing the size of business, growth and profitability of Etteplan. Revenue recognition involves a risk of revenue being recognized in the incorrect period and at inaccurate amount due to related management estimates and large volumes of transaction data. For projects, where either a fixed price or a target price has been determined, revenue is recognized over time based on the measured progress. Progress is measured as the proportion of actual costs to the total estimated project costs. Inaccurate cost estimates lead to erroneous revenue recognition. We evaluated the company’s revenue recognition and accounting policies by reference to the principles of revenue recognition determined under IFRS. We tested the effectiveness of key internal controls in place over the completeness and accuracy of revenue. We also assessed the operative effectiveness of relevant IT systems for financial reporting purposes. We compared total revenue estimates to customer contracts for projects where revenue is recognized over time based on the project’s measured progress. In addition, we analyzed working hours recorded as work in progress projects in comparison to total hours estimated by the management. We also considered the appropriateness of the process for updating estimated project costs and project progress. In addition, we performed substantive audit procedures to evaluate the completeness and accuracy of revenue recorded and assessed the effect of other events which require management judgment.

We have not identified key audit matters relating to the parent company’s 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 IFRS Accounting Standards 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 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 the 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:
* 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.
* 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.
* Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
* 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.
* 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.
* Plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business units within the group as a basis for forming an opinion on the group financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and review of the audit work performed for purposes of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and 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.

Other Reporting Requirements

Information on our audit engagement
We were first appointed as auditors by the Annual General Meeting on April 4, 2017, and our appointment represents a total period of uninterrupted engagement of 9 years.

Other Information
The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the report of the Board of Directors and the information included in the Annual Report, but does not include the financial statements or our auditor’s report thereon. We have obtained the report of the Board of Directors prior to the date of this auditor’s report, and the Annual Report is expected to be made available to us after that date.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above 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 report of the Board of Directors, our responsibility also includes considering whether the report of the Board of Directors has been prepared in compliance with the applicable provisions, excluding the sustainability report information on which there are provisions in Chapter 7 of the Accounting Act and in the sustainability reporting standards.

In our opinion, the information in the report of the Board of Directors is consistent with the information in the financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors has been prepared in compliance with the applicable provisions. Our opinion does not cover the sustainability report information on which there are provisions in Chapter 7 of the Accounting Act and in the sustainability reporting standards.

If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

To the Annual General Meeting of Etteplan Oyj

We have performed a limited assurance engagement on the group sustainability report of Etteplan Oyj (business identity code 0545456-2) that is referred to in Chapter 7 of the Accounting Act and that is included in the report of the Board of Directors for the financial year 1.1.–31.12.2025..

Opinion
Based on the procedures we have performed and the evidence we have obtained, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the group sustainability report does not comply, in all material respects, with the requirements laid down in Chapter 7 of the Accounting Act and the sustainability reporting standards (ESRS), and the requirements laid down in Article 8 of the Regulation (EU) 2020/852 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the establishment of a framework to facilitate sustainable investment, and amending Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 (EU Taxonomy).

Point 1 above also contains the process in which Etteplan Oyj has identified the information for reporting in accordance with the sustainability reporting standards (double materiality assessment).

Our opinion does not cover the tagging of the group sustainability report with digital XBRL sustainability tags in accordance with Chapter 7, Section 22, Subsection 1(2), of the Accounting Act, because sustainability reporting companies have not had the possibility to comply with that requirement in the absence of requirements for the tagging of sustainability information in the ESEF regulation or other European Union legislation.

Basis for Opinion
We performed the assurance of the group sustainability report as a limited assurance engagement in compliance with good assurance practice in Finland and with the International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000 (Revised) Assurance Engagements Other than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information . Our responsibilities under this standard are further described in the Responsibilities of the Authorized Group Sustainability Auditor section of our report. We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.# Authorized Group Sustainability Auditor’s Independence and Quality Management

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 engagement, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. The authorized group sustainability auditor applies International Standard on Quality Management ISQM 1, which requires the authorized sustainability audit firm to design, implement and operate a system of quality management including policies or procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Assurance Report on the Sustainability Report

This document is an English translation of the Finnish Assurance Report on the Sustainability Report. Only the Finnish version of the report is legally binding.

129

Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director

The Board of Directors and the Managing Director of Etteplan Oyj are responsible for: the group sustainability report and for its preparation and presentation in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 7 of the Accounting Act, including the process that has been defined in the sustainability reporting standards and in which the information for reporting in accordance with the sustainability reporting standards has been identified, the compliance of the group sustainability report with the requirements laid down in Article 8 of the Regulation (EU) 2020/852 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the establishment of a framework to facilitate sustainable investment, and amending Regulation (EU) 2019/2088, and for such internal control as the Board of Directors and the Managing Director determine is necessary to enable the preparation of a group sustainability report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Inherent Limitations in the Preparation of a Sustainability Report

Preparing a group sustainability report requires a company to make materiality assessment to identify relevant matters to report. This includes significant management judgement and choices. It is also characteristic to the sustainability reporting that reporting of this kind of information includes estimates and assumptions as well as measurement and estimation uncertainty. The determination of greenhouse gases is subject to inherent uncertainty due to the incomplete scientific data used to determine the emission factors and the numerical values needed to combine emissions of different gases. When reporting forward-looking information in accordance with ESRS standards, a company’s management is required to make assumptions about possible future events, and to disclose the company’s possible future actions in relation to those events, as well as to prepare the forward-looking information based on these assumptions. Actual results are likely to differ because forecasted events often do not occur as expected.

Responsibilities of the Authorized Group Sustainability Auditor

Our responsibility is to perform an assurance engagement to obtain limited assurance about whether the group sustainability report is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a limited assurance report that includes our opinion. 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 decisions of users taken on the basis of the group sustainability report. Compliance with the International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000 (Revised) requires that we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the engagement. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the group sustainability report, whether due to fraud or error, and obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the engagement in order to design assurance 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.
  • Design and perform assurance procedures responsive to those risks to obtain 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.

Description of the Procedures That Have Been Performed

The procedures performed in a limited assurance engagement vary in nature and timing from, and are less in extent than for, a reasonable assurance engagement. The nature, timing and extent of assurance procedures selected depend on professional judgment, including the assessment of risks of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Consequently, the level of assurance obtained in a limited assurance engagement is substantially lower than the assurance that would have been obtained had a reasonable assurance engagement been performed. Our procedures included for ex. the following:

  • We interviewed the company’s management and persons responsible for collecting and preparing the information contained in the group sustainability report.
  • Regarding the double materiality assessment process, we assessed the implementation of the process carried out by the company and the information disclosed on the double materiality assessment process in relation to the requirements of the ESRS standards.
  • Through interviews we gained understanding of the key processes related to collecting and consolidating the sustainability information.

130

  • We got acquainted with the group’s internal guidelines and operating principles relevant to the sustainability information disclosed in the group sustainability report.
  • We got acquainted with the background documentation and documents prepared by the company, as applicable, and assessed whether they support the information included in the group sustainability report.
  • We assessed the information disclosed on material sustainability matters in the group sustainability report in relation to the requirements of the ESRS standards.
  • In relation to the EU taxonomy information, we gained understanding about the process by which the company has defined taxonomy eligible and taxonomy aligned activities, and assessed the regulatory compliance of the information provided.

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 ESEF financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Commission’s regulatory technical standard.

Auditor’s independence and quality management

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

The nature, timing and extent of the selected procedures depend on the auditor’s judgment.
