Endorsement and Statement by the Board of Directors and the CEO

Operations of the Group

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Festi hf. for the period from 1 January to 30 September 2021 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting and should be read in conjunction with the Group's Annual Consolidated Financial Statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2020. The interim financial statements comprise the consolidated interim financial statements of Festi hf. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries together referred to as the "Group". The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have not been audited or reviewed by the Company's independent auditors.

Operations in the nine-month period ended 30 September 2021

For the period from 1 January to 30 September 2021, profit amounted to ISK 3,618 million. Total comprehensive income for the period was ISK 3,725 million. At the end of the period equity amounted to ISK 31,748 million, including share capital in the amount of ISK 319 million. Reference is made to the consolidated statement of changes in equity regarding information on changes in equity.

Effect of COVID-19 on the operations

The COVID-19 pandemic is still having effects on the Group's operations. Sales are increased in groceries and electronic equipment while there is decrease in sales of fuel and sale of goods in service stations around the country because of border restrictions affecting tourism. With the vaccinations performed during the year and the lifting of border restrictions in Q3 the business has steadily recovered.

It is the Board's and management opinion that it should not take more than 6-9 months for the business to recover fully from COVID-19 effects on operations.

Statement by the Board of Directors and the CEO

The Company's condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and, as applicable, additional requirements of the Icelandic Financial Statements Act.

Furthermore, in our opinion the consolidated interim financial statements and the statement and endorsement of the Board of Directors and the CEO give a true and fair view of the development and results of the Group's operations and its position and describes the principal risk and uncertainties faced by the Group.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Reporting entity

Festi hf. (the "Company") is an Icelandic public limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in Iceland. The Company's headquarters are located at Dalvegur 10-14, Kópavogur, Iceland. The main operation of the Company consists of sale of fuel, goods and service to entities, groceries and related products, sale of electronic equipment and leasing of properties. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company as at and for the nine months ended 30 September 2021 comprise of the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group" and the Group's interests in associates. The Company is listed on Nasdaq Iceland.

2. Basis of preparation

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the nine months ended 30 September 2021 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as adopted by the European Union and, as applicable, additional requirements of the Icelandic Financial Statements Act. The condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for financial assets and liabilities, which are valued at fair value through Other Comprehensive Income and the Company's real estate leased to third parties are revalued to fair value. They do not include all the information required for a complete set of IFRS financial statements. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group's financial position and performance since the last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2020.

The accounting policies and methods of computation applied in these consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied by the Group in its consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2020 except for the changes stated in note 4.

The consolidated financial statements are prepared and presented in Icelandic krona (ISK), which is the Company's functional currency. All amounts are presented in thousand of Icelandic krona unless otherwise stated. The Board of Directors of Festi hf. approved the consolidated interim financial statements on 28 October 2021.

3. Use of estimates and judgements

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions, which affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were in all major matters the same as those applied to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2020. The estimates and assumptions that are affected by COVID-19 and have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the current financial year are the following:

Estimated impairment

The Group annually tests, in accordance with the Group's accounting policies, whether the financial and non-financial assets, including goodwill are impaired. At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. COVID-19 classifies as such an impairment indicator and therefore the financial and non-financial assets, including goodwill, were assessed if there was any indication of impairment. The Group's goodwill is allocated on three Cash Generating Units ("CGU"), grocery stores, electronic equipment stores and the Group as a whole. Both business in grocery stores and electronic equipment are experiencing considerable growth but sale in fuel and sale of fast food and refreshments in service stations around Iceland which experienced last year considerable drop is steadily recovering with introduction of vaccine and the lifting of government restrictions. A full impairment test on goodwill was therefore not performed.

The buildings and investment properties of the Group are real estate used for its own business and as rented space to third parties. Investment properties are recognised at fair value at the reporting date. Fair value measurement is based on discounted cash flows of individual assets. The forecast period applied in the model is 50 years. All the lessees were evaluated based on COVID-19 effects on their business and possible contract termination. The result showed that there is no impairment on these assets and therefore no reason to deviate from the conclusion at year-end 2020.

Notes, continued:

3 Use of estimates and judgements, continued:

Expected credit losses

Under IFRS 9, loss allowances are measured based on Expected Credit Losses ("ECL") that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. As a result of COVID-19, the Group reassessed the ECL used in calculating its loss allowances. Based on the industry which the Group operates in and current market insights, it is expected that impairment losses will increase slightly short term, which is reflected in these financial statements.

4 Changes in classification of operating expenses

The classification of certain operating revenue and operating expenses has been changed in order to harmonise their classification among the Group's entities. Comparative figures have been restated accordingly. The change did not have any impact on the performance of the Group, its assets, liabilities, equity or cash flows. The most significant change is that commission income is now recognised among other operating income, but was previously recognised as part of sale of goods and services, reimbursed discounts are now recognised as a decrease in cost of goods sold and market grants are recognised among other operating income but those two items were previously recognised as a decrease of sale and marketing expenses. Restated comparative amounts are in note 6, 7 and 9.

5 Operating segments

An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activity from which it may earn revenue and incur expenses, including revenue and expenses relating to transactions with other segments of the Group. Segments are determined by the Company's management, which regularly reviews the Group's segments so as to decide upon how assets are allocated as well as to monitor their financial performance.

Operating results of segments, their assets and liabilities consist of items directly attributable to individual segments as well as those items which can be allocated in a logical way. Capital expenditure of segments consist of the total cost of acquisition of operating and intangible assets. Transactions between segments are priced on an arm's length basis.

The operating companies of N1, Krónan and ELKO in the Group are individual operating segments. Íslensk Orkumidlun which was acquired on 1 June 2020 is included in N1 segment as part of its operation. The Group's other entities comprise the fourth segment. That segment consists of the operations of the parent company Festi, Bakkinn Vöruhótel and Festi fasteiqnir.

Real estate leased to parties outside the Group are classified as investment properties. An investment property is a real estate held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both. Investment properties are recognised at fair value. Fair value changes of investment properties are presented separately in the income statement, and therefore presented separately from lease income from those same assets.
