Business model
The Fabasoft Group's business model includes developing and distributing its own software products, as well as providing related services. Fabasoft software products can be used on a recurring usage fee basis or on a purchase model against one-time software license fees and optional recurring update fees.
Fabasoft addresses the market directly through its own sales and service organizations and in collaboration with sales and implementation partners.

In addition, the Group strives to further establish and develop sales and implementation partnerships.
Product portfolio
The Fabasoft Ecosystem
The Fabasoft Ecosystem combines selected solutions for document-intensive business processes. The secure Fabasoft Cloud and the artificial intelligence of Mindbreeze provide the technological basis. This offers organizations a certified and highly scalable environment for the provision and use of Fabasoft Solutions. The Fabasoft Solution Business Units benefit from the support of the Fabasoft Competence Center (CC) and Fabasoft Service Center through know-how transfer, standards and best practices.
One shared business reality
Customers of Fabasoft Solutions benefit from agile products that are tailored to their needs, can be implemented and expanded quickly, and ensure efficiency and security. The seamless interaction of all Fabasoft Solutions creates a common, cross-organizational process and data world for customers ("One Shared Business Reality"). This enables a fast and consistent exchange of information across departments and locations, thus increasing transparency and decision-making security while reducing process costs.
The Fabasoft Cloud provides the technological basis for the shared process and data world. It meets all the requirements of modern business process management (BPM), enterprise content management (ECM) and enterprise records management (ERM) software and provides the basis for seamless and efficient collaboration within and across organisations. The powerful feature that forms the basis for Fabasoft Solutions enables organizations of all sizes to optimize their digital business processes and drive digital transformation.
SEAMLESS INFORMATION TRANSFER
The common process and data environment enables a fast and consistent exchange of information across departments, locations and company boundaries. All internal and external participants work with the same information, thus benefiting from greater transparency and decision-making security. The comprehensive ECM functions of the Fabasoft Cloud ensure efficient administration, location- and time-independent access and audit-proof document storage. Data is also protected by security technologies such as encryption, authorization concepts and audit trails.
With the Fabasoft HTML client and the seamless integration of common office software, users can also edit their documents directly in their familiar working environment. The cloud folder enables the synchronization of content stored in the Fabasoft Cloud with end devices, so that all participants always have access to the latest version (single source of truth). Thanks to the mobile apps for iOS and Android, users benefit from flexible task completion. This means that users always have their important documents and tasks at hand, regardless of their location and device.
FULL PROCESS AUTOMATION
The shared process and data environment ensures consistent business processes while simultaneously reducing errors and process costs. Companies not only benefit from increased productivity, but also from the ability to seamlessly model, optimize, automate and monitor processes across departmental and company boundaries. The Fabasoft Cloud provides powerful workflow technology to achieve efficiency and transparency in business processes. To create workflows, users have access to ad hoc processes and a graphical BPMN 2.0 editor that allows them to model business processes without programming knowledge.
Support for BPMN 2.0 (Business Process Model and Notation) allows users to model individual business processes and take advantage of platform-independent notation. The workflow engine then directly executes the created process diagrams. Ad-hoc processes allow users to flexibly respond to situations and to invite internal or external persons to participate in process steps such as "review", "release" or "approve".
By integrating the digital signature into existing workflows, companies can also make binding processes more efficient and seamless. In addition to the simple electronic signature, the Fabasoft Cloud also offers the option of adding a personal qualified electronic signature to documents. This signature meets the high security standards of the eIDAS regulation and is therefore legally valid throughout the European Union.
EFFICIENT TASK MANAGEMENT
All tasks and process steps from all Fabasoft Solutions are combined in a clear, individual to-do list, the worklist. In addition, users receive push and e-mail notifications about newly received tasks. With the help of a PC, tablet or smartphone, these tasks can be processed in a structured manner. This way, users always have an overview and benefit from the efficient completion of their tasks.
The Fabasoft Cloud offers companies a range of innovative ERM features that ensure the protection, availability and integrity of business-critical information. For example, the "time travel" function in the Fabasoft Cloud allows to view documents, metadata or Teamrooms at specific points in the past. All changes can be traced at any time. Older versions can be restored if necessary.
The "Auditing" function logs all access to objects. In addition, there is the option of automatically applying dynamic watermarks to documents. The Fabasoft Cloud is suitable for tamper-proof and GoB-compliant document storage, so that electronic documents are treated the same as paper originals. This seamless versioning of documents, as well as the automatic tamper-proof archiving, makes an important contribution to fulfilling the compliance management system.
INNOVATIVE AI FUNCTIONALITIES
The powerful combination of the Fabasoft Cloud and Mindbreeze enables companies to unlock their knowledge, use it effectively and thus improve their decision-making. With semantic full-text search and insight services, users can find the required information faster and make more efficient, informed decisions. AI-generated 360-degree views also provide companies with personalized views of relevant information such as customers, projects, or products. Mindbreeze AI prepares information for specific roles in the company. Employees thus receive a view that is dependent on their function and role, even if they are searching for the same facts. With large language models and Mindbreeze AI, companies also receive summaries of facts in natural language.
CONSISTENT USER EXPERIENCE
All Fabasoft Solutions are characterized by a uniform functionality and user interface. This enables employees to work intuitively and facilitates the onboarding of new colleagues. The accessible and responsive user interface allows for easy operation and navigation, regardless of technical knowledge or language barriers – the Fabasoft Cloud is available in 22 different languages.
The complete responsiveness of the Fabasoft Cloud ensures a consistent user experience on all end devices. Regardless of whether users are working on a desktop, laptop, tablet or smartphone, the Fabasoft Cloud automatically adapts to the respective screen size. Furthermore, the Fabasoft Cloud is accessible to all users, regardless of their abilities or limitations. It supports users with visual impairments in both data entry and display. The web client also allows for full keyboard operation and thus efficient working without a mouse. Support for the WAI-ARIA standard also ensures that content is recognized and interpreted by screen readers and other tools.
The Fabasoft Cloud user interface is clearly structured, easy to navigate and self-explanatory. A tree structure and breadcrumb trail quickly lead to the desired file, even in complex structures. Comprehensive drag-and-drop functions allow users to complete their tasks quickly and easily. Files and entire folder structures can be conveniently imported or downloaded via drag-and-drop. Within the web client, drag-and-drop can be used to move documents and folders. In addition, the Fabasoft Cloud offers a wide range of options for customizing the user interface to match corporate design guidelines, ensuring a consistent look and feel.
SIMPLE EXTENSION
The Fabasoft Solutions are easy to extend thanks to their consistent functionality and user interface. This allows companies to quickly implement new solutions into their system landscape. Extensive low-code/no-code functionalities in the Fabasoft Cloud ensure that the solutions can be easily and individually adapted to the respective company – without any programming knowledge. Intuitive graphical user interfaces and modular building blocks enable specialist departments to implement new requirements independently and without additional IT personnel.
With user-defined forms, existing objects can be easily extended with individual data fields (e.g. metadata) using drag-and-drop fields. With low-code expressions, users can also control the behavior or logic of form fields. Intelligent functions such as calculations, field validations and visibility rules are available for implementing complex use cases.
Template management enables companies to create and manage individual templates and text modules in order to make them available to all users. Cloud administrators have control and an overview of all existing and released templates. In addition, each user has the option of defining personal templates, processes and preferences.
HIGH DATA SECURITY
Both the Fabasoft Cloud as a technological basis and Fabasoft Solutions have comprehensive security measures that demonstrably ensure a high level of protection for company data. External and internal security analyses as well as audits of the technical, physical and organizational security measures and operating processes contribute significantly to the security of the Fabasoft Cloud.
Data is stored in European data centers, optionally in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Access to user data is authorized via Teamrooms. For each Teamroom access rights can be assigned to team members. These access rights are taken into account when searching for user data. This means that only those hits are displayed which the respective user is authorized to access.
Authentication during login is always carried out using secure authentication methods, for example two-factor authentication. This ensures a protected and trustworthy working environment. The Fabasoft Cloud also allows users to log in via digital certificates, single sign-on via Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) or SAML 2.0, so that they can log in to the cloud without having to enter an additional login and password.
The Fabasoft Secomo appliance offers secure end-to-end encryption for the Fabasoft Cloud. End-to-end encryption protects documents already at the workplace or on mobile devices. The keys remain exclusively with the operator of the appliance. The keys are protected by a hardware security module (HSM) that meets the requirements of FIPS 140-2 Level 4. Fabasoft Secomo can also be used in combination with the Fabasoft Cloud for storing company certificates for legally compliant digital signatures of PDF documents.
INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT
With the integrated development environment in the Fabasoft Cloud, developers create customized applications and solutions seamlessly and efficiently. Fabasoft app.ducx, Fabasoft app.test and Fabasoft app.telemetry help developers to implement new Solutions quickly and easily.
With Fabasoft app.ducx, the intuitive and powerful development system of the Fabasoft Cloud, solution developers can create new applications in the shortest possible time. Based on several declarative modeling languages that C++, C#, and Java programmers should be familiar with, Fabasoft app.ducx offers the perfect combination of rapid application development and the power of the Fabasoft Cloud. With Fabasoft app.ducx, developers intuitively create object models, methods, user interfaces, processes, access permissions, etc. in domain-specific languages.
Fabasoft app.test is the tool for the functional automation of software tests in the Fabasoft Cloud. When automating tests, Fabasoft app.test ensures that the software is tested in the same way as users would use the application, namely by actually interacting with the user interface in the web browser. The tests can be recorded either via a tree view of the user interface or via a click recorder and then executed locally at the workstation.
Fabasoft app.telemetry provides the ideal basis for service level management and user support by monitoring the availability and response times of applications. The product tracks the transactions triggered by user requests, mapping their path through the hardware and software infrastructure and enabling the analysis of execution in Fabasoft products and in instrumented third-party products.
With this information, the DevOps and support teams can quickly and accurately identify time-critical or conspicuous sequences and components and take appropriate action. The functions for monitoring the availability of extensive services or individual workflows round off the support for operational processes.

Outlook
Transformation of the business
In line with a general trend in the software industry, the Fabasoft Group's software product business continues to undergo a transformation process: the use of software products is shifting from the model of acquiring usage rights to these products for a one-off fee, usually combined with a service contract, towards an ongoing monthly usage fee for cloud services, SaaS offerings and/or appliances.
This transformation process is currently progressing differently depending on the target markets: in public tenders, purchase models are still predominantly required for the software. The customer then often operates the software in its own data centers with the support of Fabasoft. Fabasoft is increasingly supporting its customers in the transformation of their IT infrastructure to cloud-native. Private customers are particularly interested in cloud solutions. If required, the flexibility of the Fabasoft product portfolio continues to support on-premises projects as well as hybrid model variants.
In terms of sales, Fabasoft continues to strive to supplement the direct sales model with an indirect, partner-oriented, international sales and marketing model, particularly for Fabasoft Solutions and Mindbreeze InSpire.
The Fabasoft Group, which successfully implements the core topics of digital change with its comprehensive and tried-and-tested range of products and services, will continue to be well positioned in a difficult market environment characterized by global political and economic upheaval.
The Fabasoft Ecosystem for digital business processes
In line with the trend towards digital transformation, the focus remains on further developing and expanding the Fabasoft Ecosystem for internal and cross-company business processes. Increasing the market presence of existing and future solutions and their visibility in the individual target markets remain key tasks. Fabasoft will continue to focus on standardization and rapid usability in order to meet customer requirements for immediately usable solutions.
Applications of artificial intelligence
IT trends are characterized by AI application solutions. The biggest challenge in a society and economy shaped by algorithms will be to underpin AI ethically – with humans at the center – and to make its decision-making explainable.
In December 2023, the European Union was the first major economic area to create and progressively implement a reliable framework for the use of AI with a proposed regulation to establish harmonized rules for AI systems.
With Mindbreeze AI in the Fabasoft Ecosystem, a wide range of artificial intelligence use cases are included for Fabasoft Solutions. This allows routine tasks to be fully and transparently automated. Large Language Models (LLM) and Retrieval Augmentation Generation (RAG) offer the possibility to chat with documents, summarize them, analyze them, and automatically generate responses.
Investments in growth measures
In order to continue the Fabasoft Group's growth path, the investment focus for the remainder of the 2024/2025 fiscal year will be on product innovation, AI (including the expansion of AI capacities in the data centers), strengthening sales and marketing as well as attracting new talent to take advantage of future opportunities.
Fabasoft will continue to invest in the development, distribution and marketing of content-focused solutions. In addition to entrepreneurial organic growth opportunities, inorganic options will continue to be evaluated and pursued.
SAP forms the financial backbone of the Fabasoft Group, just as it does for its customers. Fabasoft is switching from SAP R/3 to SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud and SAP SuccessFactors for all Group companies in order to continue its growth and further standardize and professionalize its Group-wide financial processes. As part of this greenfield project, all financial processes are being rethought and the document-centric business processes in Fabasoft Solutions are being integrated with SAP across the board. By consistently using the possibilities offered by the AI of the Fabasoft Cloud and the automation potential in the SAP Cloud, the aim is to increase the efficiency of digital processes and offer users an even higher level of support, for example through the SAP Analytics Cloud, in their decision-making.
Another focus is on establishing and expanding successful international partner infrastructures. This would involve considerable upfront investments, particularly in international marketing, supra-regional presence, partner support and personnel expansion.
These investments, expansion and growth measures as well as the increase in personnel costs due to the recruitment of new talents will continue to impact the profitability of the Fabasoft Group in the further course of the 2024/2025 fiscal year. Furthermore, the focus on topics that are considered future-oriented and sustainable will be given priority over short-term profitability considerations where necessary.

The reporting period for the consolidated interim financial statements is from 1 April 2024 to 31 December 2024.
2) Accounting policies
2.1. Basis of preparation
The consolidated interim financial statements dated 31 December 2024 were drawn up in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standard 34 (IAS 34).
The consolidated interim financial statements were drawn up in accordance with generally recognized accounting policies, which require the use of estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions influence the amount and return on assets and liabilities shown in the balance sheet, the disclosed contingent assets and liabilities on the interim balance sheet date as well as the income and expenditures for the period under consideration. Although these estimates are calculated to the best knowledge based on current transactions, actual values may deviate from these estimates.
The same accounting and valuation principles applied for the last consolidated financial statements as at 31 March 2024 were also applied for the preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements.
The following revised IASB standards are mandatory for the first time for the 2024/2025 fiscal year.
| Standard | Content | Adopted and to be applied to new fiscal years as of |
|||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| IAS 1 | Non-current liabilities with covenants | January 2024 | |||
| IAS 7 and IFRS 7 | Supplier Finance Arrangements | January 2024 |
The above listed new versions or amendments have not significant impacts on the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the Group. The consolidated interim financial statements are prepared in thousands of Euros (kEUR), as are entries in the notes.

The shares were acquired from the former management of Mindbreeze InTend GmbH. The merger of Mindbreeze InTend GmbH with Mindbreeze GmbH took effect upon entry in the commercial register on 31 December 2024.
2.2.3. Foreign currency translation
Interim financial statements in foreign currencies have been translated at the average relevant exchange rate. According to this method, the items on the interim balance sheet were translated at the exchange rates valid on the interim balance sheet date, whereas the items on the statement of comprehensive income were translated at the average exchange rate for the reported period. Differences in these currency conversions are recorded in the other result.
Exchange differences which may occur when converting transactions and accounting items into foreign currencies are calculated using the valid exchange rate at the time of the transaction or valuation and recognized in profit or loss.
3) Notes to the balance sheet and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income
3.1. Investments
Investments in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets mainly relate to the acquisition of the office building at Honauerstrasse 2 and 4, 4020 Linz on 30 October 2024 as well as hardware and other office equipment.
The office building at Honauerstrasse 2 and 4, which was previously rented by Fabasoft AG, was acquired on 30 October 2024 by Hon24 Immobilien GmbH (wholly owned subsidiary of Fabasoft AG) for a purchase price including ancillary fees of kEUR 15,741. Fabasoft's acquisition of the office building will now strengthen this location, where Fabasoft AG and some of its affiliated companies were already based.
Part of the purchase price of kEUR 12,000 was financed by the group by means of a bank loan (see also Note 3.3.).
3.2. Equity
As at 31 December 2024, the company's share capital was kEUR 11,000 (31/03/2024: kEUR 11,000). It is comprised of 11,000,000 individual shares (31/03/2024: 11,000,000) at a nominal value of EUR 1.00 per share.
The capital reserve amounting to kEUR 19,555 (31/03/2024: kEUR 19,555) affects premiums to the amount of kEUR 17,173 (31/03/2024: kEUR 17,173). The remainder results in an amount of kEUR 2,069 (31/03/2024: kEUR 2,069) from reorganizations and in an amount of kEUR 313 (31/03/2024: kEUR 313) from former options programmes.
The following resolutions, among others, were made at the Fabasoft AG Annual General Meeting on 2 July 2024:
A dividend of EUR 0.10 per dividend-bearing share was paid out for the 2023/2024 fiscal year.
The Managing Board is authorized for the period of 30 months to acquire its own shares pursuant to Section 65 (1) (4) of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act for the purpose of issuing them to employees, company executives and members of the Managing Board of the company or an affiliated company respectively to Section 65 (1) (8) of the Austria Stock Corporation Act and up to a maximum holding of 10 % of the total share capital of the company. The equivalent value permissible at repurchase must not exceed 10 % above and must not be 20 % at the least below the average price at the close of Xetra trading on the Deutsche Börse AG of the last five stock exchange trading days prior to the fixing of the purchase price.
The resolution of the Annual General Meeting of 3 July 2023 on item 11 of the agenda regarding "authorized capital" remains unchanged.
3.2.1. Treasury shares
The resolution of the Managing Board dated 13 August 2024, made after approval of the Supervisory Board, to make use of the authorization of the General Meeting on 2 July 2024 to purchase its own shares according to Section 65 (1) (4) and Section 65 (1) (8) of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz, AktG) was made public on 14 August 2024 and can be viewed in detail on the investors section of www.fabasoft.com.
A total of 223,627 own shares are held on the closing date 31 December 2024. Of these, 125,409 shares were purchased in the first nine months of the fiscal year 2024/2025. The costs this entailed for the company amounting to kEUR 4,024 are disclosed in a separate adjustment item in equity.
No treasury shares were sold in the period under review.

| Trade and other payables | 13,704 | 0 | 684 | 3,392 | 9,628 |
The amount reported under trade and other receivables measured at fair value constitutes other receivables. These other receivables result from the acquisition of Fabasoft 4teamwork AG and derive from the valuation at fair value of the contingent purchase price.
Other financial assets relate to securities (investment certificates) to the amount of kEUR 151 (31/03/2024: kEUR 145). The fair values of the securities are derived from the current market value.
The amount reported under other payables as well as trade and other payables measured at fair value constitutes the earn-out component from the acquisition of Fabasoft Xpublisher GmbH. The discounted cash flow method was used for the evaluation.
On attainment of the specific performance indicators, the undiscounted, potentially payable amount in the fiscal years ending on 31 March 2025, 31 March 2026 or 31 March 2027 is kEUR 900 (31/03/2024: kEUR 1,300). If the defined performance indicates are not met, the entitlement is transferred to the following year. Should the specific performance indicators fall short of the targets after 31 March 2027 no earn-out payment is made.
The defined performance indicators were achieved in the 2023/2024 fiscal year, for this reason part of the earn-out component amounting to kEUR 400 was paid out in the first quarter of 2024/2025 fiscal year.
The financial liabilities relate to a loan with a nominal value of kEUR 12,000 and a term of 15 years, which was taken out as part of the acquisition of the office building at Honauerstrasse 2 and 4, 4020 Linz on 30 October 2024. The financial liability is to be repaid in equal installments every six months. The interest rate is fixed at 3.77 % for the first five years, after which it will be switched to a variable interest rate based on the 6-month EURIBOR. There are no loan agreements (covenants) for this financing. The effective interest rate for this financial liability is 3.79 % in the 2024/2025 fiscal year.
3.4. Further notes to the balance sheet and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income
The contract liabilities resulting from service contracts pursuant to IFRS 15 amounted to kEUR 1,089 as at 31 December 2024 (31/03/2024: kEUR 739), the remaining amount of kEUR 17,875 (31/03/2024: kEUR 19,246) relates to deferred revenue, in particular from software updates, fees for right of use and recurring professional services.
The right-of-use assets pursuant to IFRS 16 are reported in the balance sheet item "Property, plant and equipment" and amounted to kEUR 3,683 as at 31 December 2024 (31/03/2024: kEUR 7,115), the leasing liabilities are reported at an amount of kEUR 2,430 as at 31 December 2024 (31/03/2024: kEUR 5,623) in non-current other payables and at an amount of kEUR 1,516 (31/03/2024: kEUR 1,981) in current trade and other payables.
Due to the acquisition of the previously rented office building at Honauerstrasse 2 and 4 at the end of October (see also Note 3.1.), the existing lease at Fabasoft AG with an original term until 31 December 2028 also ended prematurely. When the property was acquired, the carrying amounts of the lease liability (kEUR 2,895) and right-of-use asset (kEUR 2,790) from this lease were therefore derecognized; the difference in carrying amount of kEUR 105 led to an adjustment of the acquisition costs of the property in the consolidated financial statements.
Investment premiums are shown in the balance sheet item "Investment grants". These are grants from the Austrian Federal Government of up to 14 % of the investments made and up to 30 % of the investments made in e-charging infrastructure. They were recognized as a liability to the amount of kEUR 91 (31/03/2024: kEUR 106) and to the amount of kEUR 28 (corresponding period of the previous year: kEUR 34) as other operating income due to the dissolution over the period of the useful life of the assets.
4) Consolidated cash flow statement
The cash flow statement has been drawn up according to the indirect method. It shows the change in cash and cash equivalents for the Group during the reporting year through the inflow and outflow of funds.
On the cash flow statement, a differentiation is made between cash flows from operating activities, investment activities and financing activities.

In order to take account of the general trend in the software industry in the reporting – namely the transformation process away from the model of purchasing rights of use against an one-off fee and in the direction of an ongoing monthly usage fee – a breakdown of sales by recurring revenue from ongoing obligations with varying terms or residual terms (recurring revenue) and sales not based on ongoing obligations (non-recurring revenue) follows.
Breakdown of sales by type of contract:
| in kEUR | April – December 2024 | April – December 2023 |
|---|---|---|
| Recurring revenue | 36,373 | 31,960 |
| Non-recurring revenue | 29,013 | 28,789 |

| thereof professional services | 26,753 | 26,321 |
| Total | 65,386 | 60,749 |
Recurring revenue includes in particular software updates, fees for right of use for Mindbreeze InSpire, Fabasoft PROCECO Solutions and recurring professional services (e.g. for support and operation management).
Non-recurring revenue includes one-off licenses (software) and sales of consulting services (professional services).

There are no further business relationships with other affiliated companies and employees in the first nine months of the 2024/2025 fiscal year.
6.2. Direct and indirect impacts of the macroeconomic and geopolticial enviroment
Fabasoft does not operate any subsidiaries or branches in Ukraine, the Russian Federation, in Belarus or in Israel, nor does it procure relevant development services from any of these countries. Likewise, there is no relevant end customer or partner business in any of the aforementioned countries. The impact of the armed conflicts and the associated sanctions against Russia and similar measures on the company's customers and partners, for example by impairing supply chains, the overall economic climate, public budgets, etc., and thus possibly subsequently on the company's business, cannot currently be estimated. The increased risk of cyber attacks or other attacks on critical infrastructures cannot be quantified either. Inflation-related effects and the changing interest rate level are included in the general risk assessment and are taken into account accordingly in the relevant business processes.
6.3. Climate related risks and opportunities of the Fabasoft Group
The Fabasoft Group is fully aware of its role and responsibility with regard to climate change and is clearly committed to regularly collecting and actively managing its climate-related risks and opportunities taking into consideration the recommendations of the TCFD (Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures).
The assessment of the residual risk for all identified climate-related risks and opportunities is below the materiality threshold defined internally, so that the overall impact on the business model, income statement and balance sheet of the Fabasoft Group are classified as immaterial.
6.4. Events after the balance sheet date
No significant events in respect of this interim financial statement occurred after 31 December 2024.

REPORT ON THE REVIEW OF THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Fabasoft AG, Linz, for the period from 1 April 2024 to 31 December 2024. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements comprise the consolidated interim balance sheet as of 31 December 2024 and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated cashflow statement and the consolidated statement of changes in equity for the period from 1 April 2024 to 31 December 2024 and the condensed notes, summarizing the significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes.
Management is responsible for the preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS's) for Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the EU.
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these condensed consolidated interim financial and third parties. Our liability towards the Company and towards third parties is limited in accordance with Section 275 (2) of the Austrian Commercial Code (UGB).
Scope of review
We conducted our review in accordance with Austrian Standards for Chartered Accountants, in particular in compliance with KFS/PG 11 "Principles of Engagements to Review Financial Statements", and with the International Standard on Review Engagements (ISRE 2410) "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity".
A review of interim financial statements is limited primarily to making inquiries, primarily of Company personnel, responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Austrian Standards on Auditing or International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing came to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS's) for Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the EU.
