In 2024 we delivered several industrial transformation projects among those, the largest project to date; a fully automated production line at the Aker Verdal yard. The project was delivered as planned and on time in H1 2024. Furthermore, we have expanded our service and aftermarket offerings – growing our stable annual revenues from this segment. 2024 was a transformational year for Goodtech. After almost 2 years of negotiations and restructuring, we sold our property at Åland for 1.8 MEUR, and we announced the sale of our Swedish non-core subsidiary Goodtech Solutions AB in February 2025. These transactions free up both management time and capital for use in the core, and our focus lies now in growing these business areas in the Group in 2025 and onwards. Goodtech is establishing a new entity in Sweden – Goodtech AB, which will spear-head our planned growth within the core digital transformation segment. Goodtech also looks to enter new geographical markets both organically and inorganically. Goodtech is now well positioned for margin and revenue growth. MARGRETHE HAUGECEO Goodtech leaves behind a strong 2024 in its continued operations. Revenues came in just shy of the record-growth year 2023, and EBIT grew from 12 MNOK in 2023 to 19 MNOK in 2024. Non-core discontinued operations, classified as held for sale, have however experienced difficulties in ongoing customer projects during the year and was on February 10th 2025 sold out of the Group. MEET OURLEADER DEAR STAKEHOLDERS. Annual Report 2024 6 For over 100 years, Goodtech has provided solutions to Nordic industrial companies to optimize their production. We see that the Group's local presence, expertise, and experience in operational technology (OT) serve as a competitive advantage. The opportunities within OT revolve around using data to optimize and build market-leading production. Industrial companies often seek strategic partners like Goodtech to drive better management, secure data flow, and, most importantly, gain insights into continuous and granular operational data in order to improve and safeguard operation. Decision-makers in industrial companies have traditionally based their management information on data from IT systems such as ERP, visualized in Excel, Tableau, or Power BI. This has limited their ability to perform real-time analysis of information from machine and production infrastructure (OT infrastructure). OT infrastructure—covering software and systems in sensors, instruments, machines, production lines, and robots—has long been considered too complex and risky to tamper with. Downtime is often more costly than increased uptime, and the OT industry has struggled to commercially and strategically justify the opposite. But this is precisely where the greatest efficiency gains lie! In recent years, Goodtech has taken a leading role in the Nordic OT market, where optimization and control add significant value. We help manufacturing companies in their digital transformation and take seriously our responsibility to maintain the competitiveness of Nordic industry. Through increasingly efficient, electrified, and automated solutions, access to new technology, and secure digital management, our customers emerge as winners in their respective segments. As an independent system integrator, we make the best choices for any given challenge. Goodtech has strong domain knowledge and problem understanding, and through close collaboration with customers, leading equipment suppliers, and carefully selected installation and assembly partners, we develop optimal solutions. After divesting three different business areas in recent years, the Group now enters 2025 as a focused company with a clearer direction, and with the ambition to use the year to strengthen our market position in all targeted industrial segments. Goodtech holds a strong market position in production optimization for solid food products, feed production, pharmaceuticals, process industries, minerals, smelting plants, and assembly lines. And in 2023 and 2024 the company also successfully secured several key transformation projects in new segments such as rare earth element extraction, the shipyard industry, battery production, and offshore wind. Additionally, Goodtech acquired Skala Flytende, securing market leadership in liquid food production and control systems for cleaning and process flow. All of these initiatives result from a focused effort to execute the Group’s strategy, guided by milestones within organic growth, margin expansion, and acquisitions. We are also proud to report that through 4 years of strategic re-positioning, Goodtech’s employee satisfaction has remained high and growing (measured through the Great Place to Work framework) – with a score going from 74% in 2020 to 78% in 2024. COMPANYBRAND STORY // GOODTECH DELIVERS COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE. Annual Report 2024 7 THE YEARAT GLANCE Goodtech’s ambition is to grow market share in the Group’s home markets and selective new expansion markets within industrial production. The Group is already the leading player in Norway within automation, industrial IT, robotics, digitalization, and electrification, with a strong presence in the project market for digital transformation of both existing and new production systems. Growth is driven by demand for greener production, lower unit cost, safeguard workplaces and production efficiencies. The Group is experiencing strong demand for its expertise as available technology and increased insight into operational data enables competitive Nordic production. Additionally, customers seek shorter value chains, further driving this demand. Goodtech’s biggest challenge is securing sufficient engineering expertise. The Group's strategy for organic growth includes expanding its geographical presence. The company is present in all major industrial hubs in Norway and will continue to expand its presence in existing and new areas in 2025. In 2022, Goodtech created a business unit dedicated to service and aftermarket solutions to strengthen its offerings, capacity, and collaboration—aiming to improve its ability to support customers 24/7 throughout their entire lifecycle. In 2024 we expanded our service offering in this segment by introducing a new solution called Hypercare to offer our customers an even smoother transition from commissioning to full day-to-day operations. Industrial customers are increasingly asking for assistance in the early-stage planning of new industrial projects, where digital, fully automated production is key in investment decisions. As a result, Goodtech has intensified its focus on strategic advisory services, leading to major transformation projects for companies such as Aker Solutions, Equinor, Vesterålen Marine Olje, Vianode and Moelven. The Group’s revenue ended at 717 MNOK in 2024, just below 729 MNOK in 2023. EBIT-margins increased from 3% in 2023 to 4% in 2024. The Groups sickness absence continued to fall – ending at 3.5% for the year 2024 from 4.0% in 2023. 4%EBIT 717 MNOKRevenue Annual Report 2024 8 Through the year the Group worked on optimizing capital structure and cash management. The sale of our property at Åland for 1.8 MEUR contributed to strengthening our capitalization further, and at the same time the Group strengthened its available liquidity base through increasing the multi-currency global cash pool credit facility at Nordea from 45 MNOK to 55 MNOK with an additional 25 MNOK available project credit facility which can be accessed on demand. These initiatives, in addition to increased focus on working capital and cash management has set up Goodtech with a robust foundation for 2025 and beyond. The non-core discontinued operations performed adversely in both Sweden and Åland in 2024. Write-downs related to the property sale in Åland, and large hour-spending-related cost overruns in the Swedish project activity resulted in earnings after tax from discontinued operations at -41.7 MNOK, compared to -20.8 MNOK in 2023. These business areas are deemed non-core, and exit processes are executed as planned. Goodtech has restructured its business model to specialize as a leading systems integrator and expert in digital transformation project management, providing comprehensive support throughout the customer lifecycle, including aftermarket services. This strategic shift positions Goodtech to capitalize on the growing market trend toward the automation of production processes and the advanced real-time data analysis facilitated by AI and machine learning. Our ongoing operations are based on a capital-light business model, where effective management of working capital will play a crucial role in shaping our capitalization in the future. Annual Report 2024 9 THE OUTLOOK The year ended with a record 359 MNOK order backlog – up from 229 MNOK at the end of 2023. The backlog contains several exciting new projects such as the Wacker Holla transformation project, and Equinor’s Empire Wind project outside New York. In addition, service and aftermarket is increasing in importance. Furthermore, with our non-core operations now sold and the company structure simplified – we enter 2025 leaner and ready to continue our growth journey by seeking both organic and inorganic growth opportunities. In 2025 we thanked our previous CFO Øyvind Osjord for 3 good years of collaboration, now welcoming Anders Engelsen to the team. He brings extensive corporate experience from both listed and unlisted industrial and investment entities, and we look forward to getting him up to speed. Goodtech will continue to advise the largest and most innovative industrial production companies of the Nordics, building on the solid foundation and capitalization that the company brings with it from 2025 and onwards. 359MNOKOrder Backlog THE REPORT 2024 Annual Report 2024 10 Key Figures Annual Report 2024 11 Corporate Social Responsibility Goodtech contributes to a more sustainable society both by optimizing for reuse and sustainable choices within its own operations and by offering solutions and services that enable customers to reduce their environmental impact. CSR CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONIBILITY Throughout 2024, Goodtech has continued making environmentally conscious choices in its own operations, such as reusing IT equipment and hardware through a partnership agreement with Revac, as well as focusing on business travel and short delivery distances when procuring supplies. Goodtech has developed its sustainability strategy, focusing on actively reducing the environmental impact of its own operations while ensuring compliance with all applicable legal requirements at all times. Annual Report 2024 12 The greatest impact comes from the projects Goodtech delivers. Goodtech transforms and optimizes industries both in the Nordic region and internationally. With Goodtech’s solutions, customers can reduce waste in their input factors, optimize resources, and reuse materials where possible. In addition, Goodtech provides energy optimization through software and control systems, improved working capital flow, and footprint reduction within the value chain—making local production in the Nordic region competitive with international production. Through this work, Goodtech contributes positively to environmental protection, secures jobs through automated operations, and adds value to society by improving value chain efficiency. Both personal safety and cybersecurity are key success criteria in Goodtech’s customer deliveries as well as in its own IT infrastructure. To further ensure compliance to upcoming EU reporting regulations within sustainability CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive), Goodtech initiated a double materiality assessment in 2024 according to EFRAG (European Financial Reporting Advisory Group) guidelines. The assessment is to be finalized by the end of Q1 2025. The double materiality assessment will provide insight and determine material topics within ESG for Goodtech to further report and focus on. Goodtech have conducted an assessment of the company’s activities and their impact on the UN Sustainable Development Goals. This analysis is based on the company’s more than 500 active projects and a qualitative evaluation of which UN sustainability goals the various projects influence. The purpose of the assessment was to establish a foundation for the company’s sustainability strategy. The analysis follows a top-down, simplified qualitative evaluation, conducted project by project, where a single project may impact multiple sustainability goals. The impact was logged as a binary variable, which was then weighted against the total revenue of the project. The analysis is approximate and indicative in nature and may have methodological weaknesses that could result in errors. Nevertheless, Goodtech believes the evaluation provides a strong representation of the company's areas of influence and offers the reader of this report a clearer understanding of the company's operations. Annual Report 2024 13 Overview of Goodtech’s evaluation of projects in 2024 with impact on UNs Sustainability Goals: Goodtech supports and seeks to influence all of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and as shown in the figure above, Goodtech's project portfolio has a broad impact.The goals with the most significant influence from Goodtech’s projects in 2024 were: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure (#9, 33%), Responsible Consumption and Production (#12, 42%), Sustainable Cities and Communities (#11, 1%), Life Below Water (#14, 16%), and Affordable and Clean Energy (#7, 8%). Annual Report 2024 14 Goodtech sees especially strong potential to impact the following four SDGs through its deliveries: Affordable and Clean Energy: Goodtech’s solutions contribute to energy optimization, power access, and the transition from fossil fuels to water-based or other renewable energy sources. Examples include Goodtech’s offshore wind projects projects for for Equinor and Greenvolt. Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure: Goodtech’s projects often involve automation, robotics, digitalization, and/or electrification of industry and infrastructure through innovation. Projects such as those for Aker Solutions in Verdal, Nexans in Halden, REEtec in Herøya, and Hydro Aluminium contribute to SDG #9. Responsible Consumption and Production: Goodtech’s solutions often help customers reduce waste in their production processes while maximizing resource efficiency and enabling the reuse of production materials. Examples include within the battery industry (Vianode), dairy industry (TINE) and food industry (Norsk Kylling). Climate Action: Goodtech is engaged in projects that enable emissions reduction, waste reduction, and other sustainability improvements in customers' production processes. This can involve measuring and visualizing energy consumption, estimating carbon footprints, and optimizing resource use. Example of this is a project for Wacker Chemicals here Goodtech helps electrify previously fossil-fueled production. Life below water: Goodtech is engaged in several ongoing projects within aquaculture industry. Among the projects is to the fish feed industry (Biomar), where we are helping the client to develop new healthier fish feed more efficiently. Annual Report 2024 15 THE FIVE MAIN PILLARS Goodtech's sustainability strategy is based on five main pillars: 1.Sustainable Investments: Goodtech will invest in initiatives that generate returns for further reinvestment in Nordic automation and efficiency, ensuring that Nordic businesses become leaders in sustainability. Examples of this include the company's focus on the Manufacturing Execution System (MES), which optimizes production processes, resource consumption, and energy management while coordinating all aspects of production. Another example is WiZX—Goodtech’s proprietary software for data collection and continuous measurement from production and industrial hardware. WiZX provides customers with real-time insights from hard-to-access data sources, allowing them to identify and optimize bottlenecks and consumption patterns in production. 2.Sustainable Relations: We will treat the people around us as if our relationship with them were to last forever. Additionally, we will work to ensure that our customers’ equipment, processes, and security achieve optimal lifespan and can be operated and maintained in the best possible way. 3.Sustainable Operations: Wherever possible, we will prioritize local sourcing and minimize our operational and value chain footprint. We will also work on reducing our own footprint by raising awareness among our employees. 4.Impact on Our Customers: We will help our customers understand and take action on their own environmental footprint, resource usage, and cost base. 5.Impact on the Value Chain: We will work toward carbon neutrality within our own value chain in collaboration with our suppliers and be selective where possible More details on the evaluation of sustainability goals in projects will be available on the company’s website: www.goodtech.no Annual Report 2024 16 Goodtech asks all suppliers to consider their own strategy for carbon neutrality Goodtech sets requirements for the top 10 suppliers that they must have active relationship with and concrete targets for carbon neutrality both in their own operations and in its own value chain // QUALITY MANAGEMENT The company is certified according to ISO 9001:2015 for Quality Management and ISO 14001:2015 for Environmental Management and strives to adhere to best practices and established standards for quality management while creating a safe and positive work environment. These standards serve as support and guidelines in maintaining robust management systems within the company, contributing to increased awareness of environmental impact and adaptability to change.The company continuously seeks to improve its processes and routines to best meet guidelines and requirements, with the overarching goal that these improvements will help reduce environmental impact while facilitating sustainable growth and increased profitability.Goodtech is an approved supplier for both the oil & gas industry and the power industry through qualification schemes such as Achilles JQS and Utilities NCE. The company is constantly working to assess the need for further certifications, training, and compliance. We are closely following the latest developments in the Voluntary reporting standard for SMEs (VSME) that may guide our reporting in the years to come Goodtech helps reduce the customer’s footprint through: 1. More efficient utilization of inputs2. Energy optimization3. Carbon capture4. Electrification Annual Report 2024 17 Goodtech has established an HSE policy and objectives that reflect the company’s core values. These objectives and their implementation are integrated into the company's management system and are accessible to all employees. At Goodtech, preventive measures are actively pursued at all levels. The company upholds a zero-incident vision for workplace injuries and accidents, working proactively to prevent incidents through the systematic establishment of routines, ensured compliance, and continuous improvement in line with defined requirements and development goals. The company takes a structured approach to preventing personal injuries, work-related illnesses, and serious incidents. The reporting of Unwanted Incidents (RUH), deviations, and improvement initiatives is closely monitored as part of the company’s HSE key performance indicators (KPIs). One of the most important safety KPIs is the H1 value, defined as the number of lost-time injuries per million hours worked, calculated on a 12-month rolling basis. This KPI is closely followed by all levels of leadership within the organization. In 2024 there were no incidents recorded with lost-time injury or medically treatments. The H1 value is reduced to 0, compared to 2.3 in 2023. Figures in the above table exclude subsidiary Goodtech Solutions AB which was sold in February 2025 and consequently re-classified as discontinued operations. Goodtech’s operations have changed significantly in recent years. Between 2021 and 2023, the company underwent a strategic repositioning, during which its panel-building business in Os, machining operations in Arvika, and biogas, water, and wastewater contracting organization in Åland were divested. As a result, Goodtech now has significantly less workshop activity, and its engineers primarily work from Goodtech offices, client locations, or project sites, where strict safety protocols are in place. This reduced direct exposure to hazardous workshop environments may explain some of the changes in the HSE statistics presented in the table above. HSE is an integral part of Goodtech’s operations, and the company has established a Working Environment Committee (AMU) that meets regularly. The management and safety organization within the company collaborate effectively through AMU, holding quarterly meetings to ensure compliance with Goodtech’s HSE ambitions. Goodtech conducts regular employee satisfaction surveys and performance reviews and is certified by Great Place to Work®. This certification recognizes Goodtech’s workplace culture as trust-based and high-performing, based on employee feedback. Potential improvements and changes are continuously evaluated and implemented in the business units through workshops and milestone-based initiatives. Goodtech experienced a large increase in employee satisfactions in 2021 (measured through its Great Place to Work survey results), after which has been stable, ending at 78% in 2024. // HEALTH, SAFETY, ENVIRONMENT AND QUALITY Annual Report 2024 18 Figures in the above table exclude subsidiary Goodtech Solutions AB which was sold in February 2025 and consequently re-classified as discontinued operations. // SICKNESS ABSENCE Sickness absence at Goodtech has remained consistently low.

Industrial IT, robotization, process optimization, and digitalization were recognized as the key tools for achieving this transformation. The transition is further detailed in the CEO’s statement in the 2021-2023 annual reports. In 2022, Goodtech launched a new initiative focusing on service and aftermarket operations and streamlined its management hierarchy to ensure efficient coordination and faster decision-making. This area continued to grow in 2024 and will be an area for growth in 2025 and beyond. THEBUSINESS // STRATEGIC RE-POSITIONING// ETHICS, EQUALITY AND DIVERSITY// STRATEGIC RE-POSITIONG Annual Report 2024 22 In December 2022, Goodtech reached an agreement with NCC for the sale of its Åland operations, as further detailed in Note 32 of the company’s consolidated financial statements. The sale included 25 employees, and all assets and liabilities related to this entity have been classified as held for sale on the balance sheet and as discontinued operations in the income statement. In February 2025 – Goodtech also sold its assembly line automation business located in Karlstad due to its non-core nature. The company has thus been re-classified as held for sale in the balance sheet and as discontinued operations in the profit and loss statement. Goodtech still aims to be the leading Nordic industrial automation player, and will therefore establish a new company – Goodtech AB, in Sweden in 2025 which will be the platform for growth within the same segments as Goodtech’s Norwegian operations. This growth will come at a higher value chain-layer than the exited business area, more focused on software implementation, large-project management, and digital transformation advisory. Goodtech’s underlying business (continued operations) has had a steady improvement in 2024. The Aker Solutions project was successfully handed over to the client in H1 2024, and this became a milestone project both for Goodtech and Aker Solutions. Aker Solutions now owns and operates one of the most modern yard operations in the world, and Goodtech delivered the project as planned and on time. This, in addition to other large projects like REEtec’s pilot facility in Herøya, Nexans’ new production skyscraper in Halden, Freyr’s pilot factory in Mo i Rana, and Vesterålen Marine Olje’s cod liver oil factory in Vesterålen is a testament to the strategic re-positioning done over the past years at Goodtech. Goodtech is well positioned to take on and complete larger and more complex industrial transformation projects. In 2024, Goodtech has announced larger transformation projects with Wacker Chemicals (Holla facility), Equinor (Empire Wind windfarm off the New York coast) and Vesterålen Marine Olje’s second cod liver oil facility which dominates the order backlog. The Group’s total revenue for 2024 ended just below the high-growth-year 2023, at 716.6 MNOK, with an EBIT of 18.8 MNOK (4%), compared to 728.8 MNOK and 12.4 MNOK (3%) in 2023. Order backlog continued to grow, ending at 359.1 MNOK, compared to 229.1 MNOK at the end of 2023 (+57%). The order backlog at the end of 2024 contains projects with longer timelines to completion than previous Goodtech-projects. The Wacker Chemicals project and Empire Wind project will both run till the summer of 2026. The growth in EBIT is attributed to improvement initiatives and strategic repositioning undertaken from 2021 to 2024. The company has focused on streamlining internal processes, automation, standardization, service & aftermarket operations, and cross-regional collaboration. Additionally, Goodtech has taken on greater project management responsibilities and procurement coordination for well-known components in larger projects than before. // GROUP OPERATIONS Annual Report 2024 23 Projects and Frame Agreements Throughout 2024, Goodtech has driven several milestone projects in automation, robotics, digitalization, and electrification in Norway and Sweden, enabling profitable production in the Nordic region. Key projects include: •Fully automated production of Aker Solutions’ shipyard in Verdal – successfully handed over in H1 2024 •Automation and electrification of REEtec’s pilot plant for rare earth elements in Herøya – successfully handed over in H2 2024 •Various industrial transformation projects in both Norway as well as internationally Beyond these large-scale projects, Goodtech is engaged in ongoing upgrades and development work for Nordic industrial companies, both on an ad-hoc basis and through framework agreements. These activities help generate stable cash flow, optimize working capital, and manage counterparty risk. Goodtech is also committed to making industry more sustainable. In 2024, the company continued its participation as a key player in a project with SINTEF and other partners to develop carbon capture solutions for Oslo Municipality’s waste facility in Haraldrud. Machines and Automated Production Lines Goodtech has continues to be a preferred supplier of fully automated packaging and handling for high-value bulk goods through its Portabulk® technology – FAB (Fully-Automated Bagger). In 2023, Goodtech secured a project with German ammonium and urea producer SKW, which also continued to contribute to revenue and EBIT throughout 2024.In 2023 the Group renewed its 30-year collaboration with Hokuren Federation of Agricultural Cooperatives, supplying packaging and bagging technology for the Japanese fertilizer market, which operated according to plan also in 2024. At the same time, Goodtech is helping reduce plastic usage in packaging with its automated and flexible packaging machines, Goodtech Robowrapper™, which create packaging solutions using cardboard and corrugated paper. In 2024, Goodtech expanded its deliveries within Wrap-Around (WA) machines by inventing a standardized module-based setup for machine deliveries. The investment is expected to increase the product-market fit of Goodtech’s automated packing solutions, while also facilitating economies of scale. Since acquiring Avanti Engineering AS in 2021, Goodtech has expanded its solution portfolio to include: •Vaccine robots (Robovac™) •Sorting lines using machine vision technology for the aquaculture and fish processing industries Through its acquisition of Skala Flytende, Goodtech has incorporated one of the leading automation environments for hygienic production in the Nordic region, along with its proprietary control system, LT Line. This system is installed in over 25 industrial plants producing liquid food products in Norway and is updated annually to comply with hygiene regulations and optimization requirements. Annual Report 2024 24 AFTERMARKET &SERVICE Goodtech has established a dedicated business unit for service and aftermarket solutions, launching a Group-wide service model in 2023. This includes continuous support for customers throughout the entire lifecycle of their production facilities. Goodtech’s offerings typically cover service agreements with 24/7 first- and second-line on-call support teams, license-administration, and managed services for OT infrastructure and networks. The company has developed an efficient customer interaction model, enabling systematic service management and resource allocation. Goodtech also offers its proprietary software, Operations Control (OC), for OT Managed Services. This platform provides: •Ongoing monitoring of OT and network infrastructure in industrial production facilities •Patch management, upgrades, security monitoring, and performance optimization This solution is well established in the offshore and energy industries and was further expanded in 2024 to support offshore wind, district heating, and shipyard industries. In 2024, Goodtech also introduced Hypercare as a new service offering to the market. This encompasses all post-commissioning optimization of automated production facilities. The new offering contributed with revenue already in 2024. Digitalisation and Technology Development Goodtech continued its investment in innovation and technology development throughout 2024, with a focus on: •Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) •Cyber Security Management Systems (CSMS) •Unified Namespace (UNS) The company’s proprietary MES system is already used in fish feed production in Norway, Sweden, and internationally in countries like Spain and the UK. Additionally, Goodtech houses the largest competency pool of experts in AVEVA’s model-driven MES-solutions and TrakSYS’ MES systems. With the rising demand for OT cybersecurity services, Goodtech has also focused on enhancing its Cyber Security Management System (CSMS). Unified Namespace (UNS) is expected to significantly improve efficiency in coding control systems for production industries. As a result, Goodtech has been actively developing internal expertise and delivering customer projects in this area. Goodtech’s IIoT Gateway WiZX (second prototype) extracts data from complex sources, enabling users to optimize operations and maintenance. In 2024, the WiZX system was piloted with a third-party production provider. Annual Report 2024 25 CAPITAL STRUCTUREREMAINING ROBUST The Nordic industrial production landscape is undergoing a digital transformation, and the need for automation among industrial and manufacturing companies is significant. Goodtech's core expertise plays a key role in this transformation. In recent years, it has been especially important for Goodtech to position itself structurally, operationally, and organizationally. Following the sale of the electrical panel workshop in Os, the machining business in Arvika, the biogas, water, and wastewater operations in Åland, and also the assembly line business in Sweden in February 2025, the company is now well-positioned in automation, robotization, and digitalization. In 2024, Goodtech also further strengthened its brand identity and market positioning by launching a new website and renewed branding profile. The cash position in the Group remained strong through 2024, with the following cash flow highlights: •Cash flow from operating activities ended at -11.0 MNOK in 2024, compared to 80.9 MNOK in 2023 due to a high share of working capital liabilities being settled in Q4 2024. Cash flow from operations naturally fluctuates depending on the composition of projects and their billing cycles. •Cash flow from investment activities was 14.2 MNOK in 2024, compared to -20.1 MNOK in 2023, mainly due to the sale of the Groups office and workshop property at Åland for 1.8 MEUR. Cash flow from investment activities is also regularly impacted by capitalized development activities. •Cash flow from financing activities ended at 2.2 MNOK in 2024, compared to -48.8 MNOK in 2023, positively impacted by capital raised through share issuance but negatively impacted by lease payments and credit facility repayments. The parent company, Goodtech ASA, reported: •Net cash flow from operations of -31.7 MNOK in 2024, compared to -29.7 MNOK in 2023. The parent company is a pure cost center where Group management services and stock exchange-related costs are incurred. This – in addition to changes in intercompany receivables and liabilities are the key drivers for the net cash flow from operations in the period. •Net cash flow from investments of 25.3 MNOK in 2024, compared to 7.3 MNOK in 2023. •Net cash flow from financing activities of 24.8 MNOK in 2024, compared to 58.0 MNOK in 2023, mainly due to positive effects from changes in the Group cash pool system and share issuance proceeds. Goodtech actively manages liquidity risk, with a strong focus on effective liquidity management and cash flow optimization in projects. The company is improving invoicing routines and closely monitoring outstanding receivables. Goodtech’s goal is to maintain sufficient cash, cash equivalents, or access to credit to fund operations and investments in line with the company’s strategic plan. In 2024, Goodtech extended its multi-currency global cash pool credit facility at Nordea to 55 MNOK, while also adding an optionality to also access further 25 MNOK in project credit. Further details on liquidity risk management and available credit facilities are provided in notes 19, 20, and 26 of the 2024 consolidated financial statements. Annual Report 2024 26 Consolidated Group Balance Sheet comments The Group’s balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, is considered robust. Non-current assets decreased from 292.7 MNOK in 2023 to 259.8 MNOK in 2024, primarily driven by reductions in right-of-use assets, intangible assets, and deferred tax assets related to the re-classification of Goodtech’s Swedish subsidiary Goodtech Solutions AB to Held for Sale in the balance sheet. Current assets also decreased, from 287.6 MNOK in 2023 to 268.4 MNOK in 2024, primarily due to lower contract assets (work-in-progress (WIP) assets related to developments in the ongoing project portfolio). Contract assets need to be seen together with contract liabilities in the balance sheet to get a correct picture of work-in-progress in the ongoing project portfolio. Total equity decreased throughout 2024 due to losses in discontinued operations at Åland and in Sweden. Cash and cash equivalents increased from 104.4 MNOK to 110.8 MNOK from 2023 to 2024. For the same re-classification reasons total liabilities also decreased, from 300.0 MNOK in 2023 to 265.4 MNOK in 2024. The reductions mainly came from lower trade payables, lower lease liabilities (current and non-current) and contract liabilities. Interest-bearing debt increased from 0.0 MNOK in 2023 to 17.5 MNOK due to working-capital related swings prompting momentary draws on the Groups credit facility. Assets held for sale declined from 32.8 MNOK in 2023 to 30.7 MNOK in 2024. This decrease was primarily influenced by the sale of properties in Åland for 1.8 MEUR in 2024. However, this reduction was partially offset by the reclassification of Goodtech Solutions AB to "Held for Sale" following the sale of the subsidiary in February 2025. Liabilities held for sale also increased, from 16.3 MNOK in 2023 to 36.5 MNOK in 2024 due to the re-classification of Goodtech Solutions AB to Held for Sale. Parent Company Balance Sheet comments Total assets increased from 406.9 MNOK in 2023 to 430.8 MNOK in 2024, primarily due to higher cash and cash equivalents and higher Group receivables. This increase was partly offset by decreased investments in subsidiaries after write-down of property at Åland after the sale in 2024, as well as write-downs of subsidiary share values after the sale of Goodtech Solutions AB. Total equity fell from 277.8 MNOK in 2023 to 254.4 MNOK in 2024, for the same write-down related reasons as described above. Total liabilities increased from 129.1 MNOK in 2023 to 176.6 MNOK in 2024 due to higher liabilities to Group companies. Annual Report 2024 27 The Goodtech Share The company's share capital consists of 29,544,875 shares with a nominal value of NOK 2, totalling 59.1 MNOK as of December 31st 2024. Of these, 28,803,077 shares were registered in the Norwegian Central Securities Depository as of December 31st 2024. All Goodtech shareholders have equal rights. The company has one share class, with each share carrying one vote at the general meeting. The shares are freely tradable, with no restrictions on transferability outlined in the company's bylaws. A significant portion of Goodtech’s employees are shareholders in Goodtech ASA. At year-end, Goodtech ASA held 900,773 treasury shares, representing 3.0% of the company’s share capital. Further details on shareholders and shareholder relations can be found in a dedicated section of the annual report, as well as in note 24 of the 2024 consolidated financial statements Employees, Work Environment and Safety Goodtech is committed to its zero-injury vision, with the primary goal of ensuring that all employees return home safely from work. Measures are implemented to minimize the risk of future lost-time injuries, including procedure reviews and closer follow-ups. The H1 value (lost-time injuries per million hours worked) showed a positive trend, reaching 0 in 2024, in line with the Groups zero-injury goal. Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) remains a continuous focus at Goodtech. Strong safety initiatives contribute to maintaining a robust HSE culture within the company. Targeted injury prevention efforts have yielded documented results in 2024 and are well integrated into the company’s leadership and workforce. Goodtech has not experienced any major incidents, material damages, or repetitive strain injuries in 2024. Goodtech also continued its positive trend in employee satisfaction, achieving upholding a strong 78% score in its annual Great Place to Work® survey—slightly down from the 80% in 2023. The Board believes these strong results stem from effective leadership follow-up, a focus on belonging, strong cross-regional collaboration, and improved coordination among specialist and professional Groups. In addition to employee surveys and performance reviews, Goodtech tracks employee health and well-being using a wellness index. The company has historically maintained low and stable absenteeism rates, reflecting a healthy workplace culture. •Sickness absence in 2024 was 3.5%, compared to 4.0% in 2023 •Overall, Goodtech’s key performance indicators suggest high levels of well-being and motivation among employees More information on sickness absence and HSE can be found in the "Corporate Social Responsibility" section of the annual report. Ethical Guidelines and Compliance Goodtech’s ethical guidelines apply to all employees and anyone acting on behalf of the company. Goodtech is committed to conducting business with high ethical standards, based on open and fair competition. The company promotes a transparent culture, encouraging regular discussions of ethical dilemmas among employees. Annual Report 2024 28 Goodtech has zero tolerance for violations of internationally recognized human rights and labor rights, including any form of child labor or forced labor. These requirements also apply to Goodtech’s suppliers. To ensure compliance, Goodtech has established: •Clear procedures and internal policies •Regular follow-ups and leadership focus •Strict adherence to ethical guidelines The company’s ethical policies require that all employees are treated with respect and work in an environment free from bullying and harassment. Goodtech aims to be a workplace free from discrimination based on race, gender, or sexual orientation. The company ensures equal treatment in recruitment, employment, access to education, promotions, and compensation. Goodtech's corporate policies align with the Equality and Anti-Discrimination Act, ensuring: •Equal opportunities and rights for all •Protection against discrimination based on ethnicity, nationality, ancestry, skin color, language, religion, or belief Goodtech has established whistleblowing procedures, including an anonymous reporting option. The company aims to be a fully gender-equal workplace and is actively working to increase the number of female applicants for open positions. At the end of 2024: •The executive management team consisted of 1 woman and 5 men •The Board of Directors included 3 women and 4 men •Among the 2 employee-elected board members, 1 was a woman Compensation for executive management and the Board is disclosed in note 15 of the 2024 consolidated financial statements. In 2024, Goodtech will continue its structured efforts to promote gender equality and prevent discrimination. More details on ethics, morality, and equality can be found in the "Corporate Social Responsibility" section of the 2024 annual report. The Group's statement pursuant to the Transparency Act has been published on the company's website https://goodtech.no/about-us/ethics-privacy-compliance, where the Group's ethical guidelines can also be found. Annual Report 2024 29 Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility In its efforts to contribute to a more sustainable society, Goodtech bases its principles on the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). While all SDGs are considered important to the Group, Goodtech has identified four goals as particularly relevant to its business operations. These are related to clean energy (#7), industry, innovation, and infrastructure (#9), responsible consumption and production (#12), and climate action (#13). Following the Group’s strategic repositioning, its focus and alignment with specific sustainability goals are revised, considering the impacts and effects of its continued business operations. More information on this can be found in the “Corporate Social Responsibility Report” section of the annual report. The Board understands that the Group does not engage in significant environmental pollution and that, in many cases, its solutions contribute positively to the environment for customers and the value chain. A more detailed statement on corporate social responsibility can be found in the sustainability and corporate social responsibility section of the annual report. Delivery Risk Like in 2023, Goodtech continued to experience high levels of activity and a growing order backlog in 2024, with a significant portion of revenue derived from the procurement of goods delivered as part of the Group’s projects. This increased exposure to procurement has heightened the focus on foreign exchange risk when purchases are made in currencies different from the delivery market, as well as risks related to delivery times and general supply chain stability. Contract terms with customers and suppliers are structured to as good as possible prevent negative impact on the Group’s financial results in 2024. The risk of component shortages, which was a significant concern during and immediately after the COVID-19 pandemic, has diminished somewhat. In 2024, Goodtech successfully obtained the necessary parts and equipment to maintain project progress and delivery capabilities. The Board and management closely monitor the geopolitical situation and make ongoing adjustments as needed. Risk Factors and Risk Management Goodtech ASA and its subsidiaries are exposed to various types of risks, including market, operational and financial risks. Additionally, certain subsidiaries face regulatory and political risks, such as government decisions affecting infrastructure, environmental regulations, and the use of contracted labour. The objective of the Group’s risk management is to ensure effective governance, internal regulations, and monitoring routines, including compliance with Goodtech’s ethical guidelines. The Board is committed to ensuring systematic and deliberate risk management across all aspects of the business, considering this essential for long-term value creation for shareholders and job security for employees. Regular risk assessments are conducted to analyse and evaluate key risk factors. A significant portion of Goodtech’s business involves executing individual projects with varying complexity, size, duration, and risk levels. Achieving good results requires thorough risk analysis at the bidding stage and systematic, professional risk management during project execution. Annual Report 2024 30 The Group’s balance sheet includes assets and liabilities related to ongoing projects, primarily reflected in working capital accounts. Some of these items involve estimation uncertainties, where the management and project leaders exercise judgment based on given assumptions. The best estimates are used as the basis for financial reporting as of December 31st 2024. During a project’s lifespan, market conditions or unforeseen situations may arise, leading to revised estimates and potentially impacting the Group’s assets, liabilities, equity, and earnings. The Group has established procedures and systems for risk assessment from the bidding phase through project completion. Projects are reviewed and evaluated monthly to mitigate unwanted financial and operational consequences through corrective measures and maintain realistic project estimates. The company also seeks to leverage positive opportunities within projects. Continuous improvement efforts are in place to enhance these processes. The Group’s future operations depend on the competence and quality of its employees to ensure project deliveries align with contractual obligations. Key factors include meeting customers’ future requirements for service, technology, and efficiency. The Group mitigates risk through contract diversification in terms of number and size. These risk factors are addressed through systematic work on process management, methods, and competency development to secure future growth and profitability in core areas. Goodtech operates and delivers projects across multiple countries, with contracts primarily in NOK, SEK, EUR, and USD. Currency fluctuations can impact earnings in NOK for international projects. The Group aims to match purchases and sales in the same currency within projects to minimize exchange rate risks. Additionally, Goodtech uses a multi-currency Group account system with Nordea to help balance currency fluctuations. The Group has not engaged in significant currency hedging transactions with financial institutions during the year. Goodtech serves a diverse range of industries, reducing exposure to economic fluctuations in any single sector. Counterparty risk is considered moderate, and historically, the Group has incurred minimal losses on accounts receivable in customer projects. Goodtech has established clear guidelines and criteria for assessing credit risk. The customer base is widely distributed in terms of both number and size, and customers are primarily well-established companies and public institutions, reducing the risk of losses from individual customers. The Group maintains a strong focus on liquidity-improving measures. Excess liquidity is primarily held in NOK, while interest-bearing debt is primarily in NOK, SEK, or EUR, mostly at floating interest rates. The Group continuously assesses how the war in Ukraine may impact its financial statements and operations. Goodtech does not have offices or projects in affected regions, and any impacts from the invasion are considered indirect. The Group monitors potential supply chain disruptions due to the conflict and provides relevant disclosures in its financial statements. For the 2024 financial year, the war in Ukraine and the unstable situation in the Middle East is not expected to negatively affect the Group’s asset valuations. Goodtech also continuously evaluates the effects of interest rate, inflation, and currency fluctuations on its value chain. These macroeconomic factors may influence asset valuations and are therefore addressed in the financial statement notes where they impact estimates.Market demands for climate adaptation and emissions reductions continue to increase, and consequently Goodtech has established a dedicated sustainability strategy which is integrated into r operations from procurement to sales. Assessments related to estimation uncertainties, asset valuations, and financial statement disclosures are presented in the notes to the 2024 annual report. Annual Report 2024 31 Corporate Governance The Board of Directors of Goodtech has developed principles for corporate governance to safeguard the interests of the company’s shareholders, employees, and other stakeholders. These principles also clarify the division of roles between shareholders, the Board, and executive management. The purpose of the company's corporate governance principles is to enhance predictability and transparency, thereby reducing uncertainty associated with business operations. These principles are designed to support the company’s strategic objectives. The Board aims to ensure that its corporate governance guidelines align with the prevailing Norwegian Code of Practice for Corporate Governance. The Group's specific corporate governance guidelines are discussed in a dedicated chapter of the annual report. Goodtech has secured directors' and officers' liability insurance to cover potential liabilities toward the company and third parties. The CEO and other members of the executive management team are also covered under this policy, with a coverage limit of up to 30 MNOK. Financial Statements Report The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS®). The parent company, Goodtech ASA, has prepared its financial statements in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act and generally accepted accounting principles in Norway (NGAAP). The Board believes that the financial statements provide a true and fair view of the parent company's and the Group’s assets, liabilities, financial position, and results. In accordance with Section 3-3a of the Norwegian Accounting Act and generally accepted accounting principles (GRS), the Board confirms that the going concern assumption is valid. Annual Results for the Group and Parent Company Goodtech ASA The Goodtech Group reported earnings after tax of -25.3 MNOK in 2024 compared to 8.1 MNOK in 2023. Earnings after tax from continuing operations ended at 16.4 MNOK compared to 11.8 MNOK in 2023. Earnings per share from continuing operations amounted to NOK 0.57 per share, while earnings per share from discontinued operations amounted to NOK -1.46 per share. The parent company, Goodtech ASA, recorded earnings after tax of -31.7 MNOK in 2024, which is proposed to be fully transferred to retained earnings. Earnings per share for Goodtech ASA amounted to NOK -1.07 per share. The Board proposes that no dividend be distributed based on the company’s financial statements for 2024. After the proposed profit allocation, Goodtech ASA’s equity at year-end totalled 254.4 MNOK. The Group’s discontinued operations in Åland and Sweden reported earnings after tax of -41.7 MNOK in 2024, compared to -8.7 MNOK in 2023. The negative result is mainly driven by adverse project performance both in the Swedish and Åland entities. More information regarding assets held for sale and discontinued operations can be found in Note 32 of the 2024 consolidated financial statement. Annual Report 2024 32 Events After the Reporting Period In February 2025 Goodtech announced the sale of 100% of the shares in its subsidiary Goodtech Solutions AB. The transaction prompted a re-classification of the financial performance of Goodtech Solutions AB to discontinued operations in the consolidated profit and loss statement for the Group, and as held for sale in the balance sheet. More details are available in note 29 and Note 32 of the consolidated financial statements for 2024. Outlook Goodtech is well-positioned in its core markets, which include the food industry, energy, and manufacturing. In addition to its strong presence in these traditional sectors, Goodtech leverages its expertise to enter new markets, utilizing its competencies in industrial transformation. In 2024, the company strengthened its position in sectors such as yard operations, offshore wind, and industrial production. The growth in the order backlog of the Group’s continuing operations throughout the year demonstrates that the uncertainty that affected Goodtech’s core markets during the COVID-19 pandemic has diminished and that industrial investment appetite is increasing. This demand is expected to drive continued growth in the Group’s financial development, while internal initiatives focusing on operational improvements and process automation will further enhance profitability. At the end of 2024, the Group had an equity ratio of 50% and cash and cash equivalents totalling 110 MNOK, both of which support the Group’s solid capitalization entering 2024. The Board emphasizes that all future outlook assessments inherently involve significant uncertainty, and the indications provided in this report are based on information and assumptions available at the time of signing. With its strong core business and the increasing societal focus on sustainable investments and green transition, Goodtech remains an attractive partner for the industry going forward.

Goodtech is one of the leading players in the Nordic region within industrial IT and automation, providing services related to digital transformation for the manufacturing industry both in the Nordics and internationally. The Group is listed on the main list of the Oslo Stock Exchange and has a turnover of just over 714 MNOK. The Group is strategically located at 11 of the most important sites for industrial activity in Norway and Sweden, while also owning businesses held for sale in Åland, Finland and Karlstad Sweden. The accounts were approved for publication by the board on March 18, 2025. 1.1.Basis for the Preparation of the Financial Statements The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU and the Norwegian Accounting Act and comprise Goodtech ASA and subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared using uniform accounting principles for similar transactions and events under otherwise similar conditions. The accounting principles applied are consistent with those used in previous accounting periods, except where specifically referred to different practices. There are no significant changes in IFRS standards that affect the consolidated financial statements in 2024. The IASB has adopted some minor amendments and clarifications during the year, which are not considered to have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements. 1.2.Functional Currency and Presentation Currency The financial statements of the individual companies in the Group are measured in the currency which is predominantly used in the economic environment in which the company operates (functional currency). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Norwegian kroner (NOK), which is the functional currency and the presentation currency of the parent company. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Currency gains and losses arising on the payment of such transactions and on the translation of monetary items in foreign currencies at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period, are recognized in profit or loss as financial items. Balance items Closing rates as of 31.12.2024 The following exchange rates have been used for the conversion: SEK to NOK EUR to NOK Exchange rate 2024 1.02 11.79 Exchange rate 2023 1.01 11.24 1.3.Consolidation Principles Subsidiaries The consolidated financial statements include Goodtech ASA and companies over which Goodtech ASA has control, as further mentioned in note 25. Control over an entity arises when the Group has the ability to influence the returns from an entity through its power over that entity. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the day control is obtained and deconsolidated when control ceases. The Group reassesses its control over an entity as soon as facts and circumstances indicate that there have been changes in one or more of the control elements of the entity. Non-controlling interests are included in the Group's equity. Changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. The consideration is recognized at fair value, and the difference between the consideration and the carrying amount of non-controlling interests is recognized against the controlling owner's equity. Annual Report 2024 55 Elimination of Transactions upon Consolidation Intercompany transactions and balances, including internal profits and unrealized gains and losses, are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. Unrealized gains related to transactions with associated companies are also eliminated based on the Group's share in the company. Similarly, unrealized losses are eliminated, but only to the extent that there are no indications of impairment of the asset sold internally. 1.4.Estimation Uncertainty and Significant Judgments In preparing the financial statements in accordance with IFRS, the Group's management has used estimates based on the best judgment and assumptions deemed realistic. Situations or changes in market conditions may arise that could lead to altered assessments and estimates, thereby affecting the Group's assets, liabilities, equity, and results. The Group's most significant accounting estimates and judgments are related to the following items: •Construction Contracts •Assessment of Goodwill •Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations Construction Contracts: As Goodtech deals with project contracts, changes in scope may occur from the bidding phase to the handover phase. The estimates used in the financial statements are based on uniform principles within the Group and are subject to control procedures locally and at the Group level to ensure proper measurement of project results and progress. However, complexity and scope mean that projects inherently carry a risk of estimation errors despite the Group's focus on accurate measurement. Primarily, estimation uncertainty is related to the judgmental estimation of remaining hours and/or costs in ongoing projects, which may affect the Group's progress assessment in the projects. Such erroneous judgment could therefore impact the ongoing recognition of results in the Group from period to period. Estimates made are largely based on historical data from similar projects that the Group has previously executed, as well as the project organization's own assessment of the project's status. Forecasts of remaining hours and/or costs are updated at least once a month and are subject to monthly management reviews both locally and at the Group level. The accounting treatment of construction contracts is further discussed in note 4 of the financial statements. The Group's carrying amount of goodwill: Assessed annually, or when there are indications of impairment. Factors that trigger an assessment of the asset's value include: •Deteriorating performance compared to historical or expected results, •Significant negative industrial or economic developments, or •Significant changes in the overall business strategy. Estimates of the recoverable amount of assets and companies are partially based on management's judgments, including determining appropriate cash-generating units, estimating future results, the asset's income-generating capacity, and assumptions about future market conditions and the realization of synergies. Changes in circumstances and in management's assumptions may lead to impairments. The assessment of carrying amount of goodwill and other intangible assets is further discussed in note 14 of the financial statements. Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations: The Group applies judgment in assessing whether the criteria for classification as held for sale and reporting as discontinued operations are met. Assets and Groups of assets and liabilities classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their previous carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Judgment is applied in assessing fair value. Further discussion can be found in note 32 of the consolidated financial statements. Annual Report 2024 56 Note 2 - Changes in the Group’s Structure The Acquisition of Skala Flytende in 2023 Goodtech announced on August 16, 2023, an agreement to acquire the business unit of Skala AS for industrial IT, automation, and process technology in the liquid food and process industry. The unit is a leading engineering environment in its segment and strengthens Goodtech's position in dairy and aquaculture products in Nordic food production. The acquisition was completed on October 2, and the operations of the business have therefore been fully reflected in the Group's accounts from Q4 2023. The acquisition is considered non-material and thus follows the disclosure requirements for non-material acquisitions. The transaction involved the acquisition of the specialized software LT Line, intangible assets, inventory, and office equipment related to the unit's operations, the organization with 24 engineers in Oslo, Trondheim, Klepp, and Førde (of which 23 did not exercise their right of reservation and thus joined Goodtech), as well as a backlog of orders exceeding 20 MNOK. The acquisition included an initial cash consideration of 7.6 MNOK, as reflected in Goodtech's cash flow statement for 2023. Additionally, the parties agreed on a contingent consideration (earn-out) that would be determined based on contribution margin sharing in the acquired backlog of over 20 MNOK. In February 2024, Goodtech reached an agreement with Skala AS regarding the amount of the contingent consideration (earn-out) totaling 1.1 MNOK, which is reflected in the Group's cash flow for Q1 2024. The Group made an initial provision for the earn-out based on expectations at the time of acquisition on October 2, 2023, which as of December 31, 2023, has been reduced to the final agreed amount of 1.1 MNOK. The reduction of 0.8 MNOK was recorded as other income in 2023.

Goodtech does not report on aggregated operating segments, but only on one main segment. In the table below, reporting is done on one main segment and Group items. Group items include costs that cannot be attributed to operating segments, including, among other things, the Group's administrative costs and other common costs that are not directly allocated to the operating segments. Transactions and transfers between the Group's operating segments and the parent company occur at normal business conditions that are considered equivalent to the Group’s external business relationships. Assets under Group items consist of assets owned by the parent company.

In addition, the Group has revenue from the sale of packaging and technology products to the Group's customers in Japan and Chile. The product Groups presented in the table below represent the Group's internal reporting classification of revenue categories: Construction contracts Construction contracts are sales of combined goods and services. The Group recognizes revenue over time based on the degree of completion of the project, primarily using an input method. Progress is typically measured using input methods such as incurred costs relative to the estimated total costs to complete the delivery, or incurred hours relative to the estimated total hours to complete the delivery. The choice of method is based on what is considered to be the most significant input factor in each project. These measurement methods are considered the most accurate to show the Group's progress towards fulfilling the performance obligation. The asset is specifically tailored to the customer and cannot be used by others without significant modifications. Payment terms for construction contracts are largely based on contractually stipulated milestone billings, which are agreed upon with the customer at the time of contract signing. Services Services are ongoing time-based performance obligations. The services can be sold separately or bundled together with the sale of goods. The performance obligation is fulfilled on an ongoing basis as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the services provided by the Group. Payment terms typically range between NET 14 and 30 days. Product sales Product sales represent the Group's sales of packaging and technology products to the Group's customers in Japan and Chile. The products are related to the Group's PORTABULK® brand. The performance obligation is generally considered fulfilled upon delivery of the goods, and invoicing occurs at this time. Revenue is recognized at the time of delivery in accordance with the agreed INCOTERM delivery terms for the specific delivery. Payment terms typically range between NET 14 and 30 days. The Group offers retrospective volume discounts to select customers if the quantity of goods purchased exceeds a specified amount pre-defined in the contract. Discounts are offset against accounts receivable. To estimate the variable consideration for expected future discounts, the Group applies the method based on the most likely outcome for contracts with a single volume threshold and the expected value method for contracts with more than one volume threshold. The expected reimbursement from retrospective volume discounts reserved in the accounts is specified in note 22. Warranty Obligations The Group offers warranties for repairs of defects that existed at the time of sale in accordance with the legislation of the relevant country. Ongoing provisions and assessments are made for future warranty obligations of this nature. Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions The Group’s business mainly consists of execution of projects. Invoices to customers are for the majority of the projects based on hours charged, but a portion also has fixed price elements. At each period end the Group assess the probability that the hours charged can be billed to the customer, as well as estimating remaining costs of the project. Uncertainty is particularly related to change orders, claims, and other contract changes as well as volume discounts. There is an inherent risk associated with these estimates.

Further detailed information regarding the equity-based incentive program (RSU Matching Program) are presented in note 33. Additional details regarding the compensation for the Group's directors, including executive personnel and members of the Board of Directors, are presented in note 15. Annual Report 2024 62 Note 7 - Pensions Goodtech's pension schemes are established in accordance with local laws and include defined contribution plans. A defined contribution plan is a pension scheme where the Group pays fixed contributions to a manager without any further obligations after the contribution has been paid. The contributions are expensed continuously as payroll costs. Norwegian businesses within the Group are subject to the law on mandatory occupational pensions, and the pension schemes offered in Norway comply with this law. Defined contribution pension schemes in Norwegian businesses cover all employees in Norway. The contribution rate is 5% for pensionable salary up to 7.1 times the National Insurance Scheme basic amount (G) and 10% for pensionable salary between 7.1G and 12G. Most employees in Norway are affiliated with the AFP scheme (Agreement-based Pension), which is a collective pension scheme for the tariff-regulated sector in Norway. The AFP scheme is based on a collaboration between employer organizations, employee organizations, and the state. For accounting purposes, the scheme is considered a defined benefit multi-employer plan. The Group is unable to identify its share of the scheme's underlying financial position and performance with a sufficient degree of reliability, and on this basis, the scheme is accounted for as a defined contribution plan. This means that the obligations arising from the AFP scheme are not recognized on the balance sheet. Premiums for the scheme are expensed as they accrue. Total pension costs for the Group's defined contribution schemes amount to 20 MNOK for 2024 (15.1 MNOK for 2023), which is included in payroll costs in the income statement (further detailed in note 6 of the financial statements).

Interest income/expense in each period is calculated per currency, based on whether there is a net overdraft or a net positive balance in the given currency top account. Throughout the year, the balances/overdrafts on these accounts will vary, resulting in both interest income and interest expenses as indicated in the table above. Annual Report 2024 64 Note 10 - Taxes The tax expense reported in the income statement consists of payable tax and changes in deferred tax. Deferred tax/tax benefit is calculated on all differences between accounting and tax values of assets and liabilities, with the exception of temporary differences related to goodwill. Deferred tax and deferred tax benefit are measured based on the expected future tax rate of the companies in the Group where temporary differences have occurred. Deferred tax and deferred tax benefit are recorded at nominal value and are classified as long-term liabilities and assets in the balance sheet. Deferred tax benefit is recognized when it is probable that the company will have sufficient taxable profits in future periods to utilize the tax benefit. The Group recognizes previously unrecognized deferred tax benefits to the extent that it has become probable that the Group can utilize the deferred tax benefit. Likewise, the Group will reduce deferred tax benefits to the extent that it no longer considers it probable that it can utilize the deferred tax benefit. Payable tax and deferred tax are recorded directly against equity to the extent that the tax items relate to equity transactions.

When assets are sold or disposed of, the carrying amount is deducted, and any loss or gain is recognized in profit or loss. The cost of property, plant, and equipment includes the purchase price, including taxes/levies, and costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition. Expenses incurred after the asset is put into use, such as regular maintenance, are recognized in profit or loss, while other expenses expected to provide future economic benefits are capitalized. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the following useful lives: -Machinery, fixtures, and other operating assets: 3-10 years The depreciation period, method, and residual value are assessed annually. The asset categories presented in the table below are an aggregated sum of various asset components belonging to a specific category, and the depreciation rates represent the range of useful lives allocated to the components.

A contract is considered a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an asset over a period in exchange for consideration. Recognition of Lease Agreements and Recognition Exceptions: At the commencement date of a lease agreement, the Group recognizes a lease liability and a corresponding right-of-use asset for all its leases, except for the following applied exceptions: •Short-term leases (lease term of 12 months or shorter) •Assets of low value For these leases, the Group recognizes the lease payments as other operating expenses in the income statement at the time they are incurred. Lease Liabilities: The Group measures lease liabilities at the commencement date at the present value of the lease payments that are not payable at that time. The lease term represents the non-cancellable period of the lease agreement, in addition to periods covered by an option to either extend or terminate the lease if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise that option. The lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability consist of: •Fixed lease payments (including effectively fixed payments), minus any receivables in the form of lease incentives. •Variable lease payments that depend on an index or interest rate, initially measured using the index or interest rate at the commencement date. •Amounts expected to be payable by the Group in accordance with residual value guarantees. •The exercise price for a purchase option, if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise that option. •Payment of a penalty for terminating the lease agreement, if the lease term reflects that the Group will exercise an option to terminate the lease agreement. The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect the interest on the lease liability, reducing the carrying amount to reflect lease payments made, and reassessing the carrying amount to reflect any revaluations or changes to the lease agreement, or to account for adjustments in lease payments resulting from changes in indexes or rates. The Group does not include variable lease payments in the lease liability. Instead, the Group recognizes these variable lease costs in the income statement. The Group presents its lease liabilities on separate lines in the balance sheet. Right-of-Use assets: The Group measures right-of-use assets at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, adjusted for any new measurements of the lease liability. The cost of the right-of-use assets includes: •The amount from the initial measurement of the lease liability •All lease payments made or due at or before the commencement date, minus any lease incentives received •All direct costs incurred by the Group in negotiating the lease agreement •An estimate of the costs incurred by the lessee for dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site where the unit is located, or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms of the lease agreement, unless these costs are incurred during the production of the goods. Annual Report 2024 69 The Group applies the depreciation requirements of IAS 16 when depreciating the right-of-use asset, with the exception that the right-of-use asset is depreciated from the commencement date until the earlier of the end of the lease term and the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset. The Group's assets under capitalized leases include buildings and other real estate, land, vehicles, office equipment presented in table below: Right-of-use assets Amounts in MNOK Buildings Land Vehicle Office equipment Other SUM Carrying amount as of 01.01.23 39.3 2.1 3.8 1.0 46.3 Additions 17.3 1.8 2.8 21.9 Depreciations -13.4 -1.5 -1.2 -0.4 -16.5 Translation differences 0.5 0.1 - - 0.5 Carrying amount as of 01.01.24 43.6 2.5 5.5 0.6 52.2 Additions 5.6 2.1 2.4 10.2 Depreciations -15.1 -1.8 -2.1 -0.4 -19.4 Reclassified as held for sale -3.5 -1.3 - -4.8 Adjustments 1.1 1.1 Translation differences 0.1 - - 0.1 Carrying amount as of 31.12.24 31.9 - 1.5 5.8 0.2 39.4 Lease Liabilities Amounts in MNOK 2024 2023 Undiscounted lease liabilities and payment maturities Less than one year 15.6 18.8 One to two years 11.7 15.5 Two to three years 7.0 10.4 Three to four years 5.2 6.2 Four to five years 4.1 4.4 More than five years 4.6 6.9 Total undiscounted lease liabilities as of December 31 48.2 62.2 Discounting effect 4.9 5.9 Total lease liabilities in the balance sheet as of December 31 43.2 56.3 Current 13.8 16.7 Non-current 29.4 39.5 Lease payments recognized as other operating expenses in the income statement 2024 2023 Operating expenses for the period related to short-term lease agreements 0.2 Operating expenses for the period related to low-value assets 0.5 0.7 Total 0.5 0.9 Amounts recognized in the cash flow statement Amounts in MNOK 2024 2023 Payment of lease liability instalments 22.1 15.2 Payment of interest on lease liabilities 2.6 2.2 Lease payments recognized as other operating expenses in the income statement and cash flow from operating activities 0.5 0.9 Total cash flow effect of lease assets 25.2 18.3 Annual Report 2024 70 IFRS 16-effects on the income statement Amounts in MNOK 2024 2023 Rents - IFRS16 18.4 17.4 EBITDA 18.4 17.4 Depreciation IFRS16 -16.0 -16.6 Operating profit (EBIT) 2.4 0.8 Net financial items -2.4 -2.1 Earnings before tax 0.1 -1.3 IFRS 16 fundamentally alters the accounting treatment for leases by requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets as right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities. In the profit and loss statement, rather than recognizing lease payments as operating expenses, lessees will record a decrease in rent expense and an increase in depreciation on the right-of-use asset, as well as interest expense on the lease liability. The table above illustrates the effects of IFRS 16 on the income statement.

Applied Practical Solutions The Group establishes, as a starting point, the lease term as the non-cancellable period of leases in accordance with IFRS 16.18. Therefore, Goodtech does not recognize extension options until it can be reasonably assured that the options will be exercised. Similarly, periods extending beyond a termination option are not recognized unless it can be reasonably assured that there is no intention to exercise the option. Extension and termination options are considered when determining the lease term when it can be reasonably assured that the option will be exercised. As of the end of 2024, Goodtech has a lease agreement with a termination option and four lease agreements with extension options that have not yet been decided upon regarding whether they will be exercised. The lease agreements do not contain restrictions on the company’s dividend policy or financing options. Annual Report 2024 71 Note 14 - Intangible Assets Intangible Assets Intangible assets acquired separately are recognized at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired through acquisitions is recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Carrying amounts of intangible assets are accounted for at cost less any accumulated amortization and impairment. Internally generated intangible assets, with the exception of capitalized development costs, are not capitalized but are expensed as incurred. Intangible assets with a finite useful life are amortized over their economic life and are tested for impairment when there are indications of impairment. The method and period of amortization are reviewed at least annually. Changes in the amortization method and/or period are treated as changes in estimates. Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are tested annually for impairment. Research and Development Expenses related to research activities are recognized as incurred. Expenses related to development activities are capitalized when it is probable that the project will yield future economic benefits. The prerequisites for capitalization are that the project is technically and commercially feasible, that the Group has sufficient resources to complete the development, and that the costs can be measured reliably. Other development expenses are recognized as incurred. Development costs that have previously been expensed will not be capitalized in subsequent periods. Capitalized expenses include material costs, labour costs, and other directly attributable expenses. Capitalized development costs are recorded in the balance sheet at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment. Capitalized development costs with a finite useful life are amortized over the estimated economic life of the asset. This may be done either using the straight-line method or by allocating the amortization cost over the usage period. Customer Contracts In the acquisition of a business, customer agreements that meet the definition of intangible assets under IAS 38 will be identified and recognized separately. Earnings-based models are used as the basis for determining fair value. Customer contracts have a finite useful life and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the contract period. Impairment of Non-Financial Assets Intangible assets and goodwill with an indefinite useful life are not amortized but are assessed annually for impairment. Property, plant, and equipment, as well as intangible assets that are amortized, are evaluated for impairment when there is an indication that future cash flows may not support the carrying amount. An impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying amount and the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. When assessing impairment, assets are Grouped at the lowest level where independent cash flows can be identified (cash-generating units). At each reporting date, the possibility of reversing previous impairments of non-financial assets (excluding goodwill) is evaluated. In assessing the need for impairment of goodwill, goodwill is allocated to the relevant cash-generating units. The allocation of goodwill is made to the cash-generating units or Groups of cash-generating units expected to benefit from the acquisition. Business Combinations and Goodwill Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. Transaction costs are recognized as expenses as they are incurred. The consideration transferred is measured at the fair value of the assets transferred, liabilities incurred, and equity instruments issued. The consideration also includes the fair value of any assets or liabilities resulting from an agreement for contingent consideration. Costs related to business combinations are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets and liabilities are recognized at their fair value at the Annual Report 2024 72 acquisition date. Non-controlling interests in the acquired entity are measured on a case-by-case basis at either fair value or at their proportionate share of the acquiree's net identifiable assets. When a business is acquired in multiple tranches, the previously held equity interest is remeasured to fair value at the date control is obtained, with any change in value recognized in profit or loss. Contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the acquisition date. The contingent consideration is classified as a liability and is subsequently remeasured to fair value, with changes in value recognized in profit or loss. If the sum of the consideration, the fair value of previously held equity interests, and any fair value of non-controlling interests exceeds the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquired company, the difference is recognized as goodwill. If the sum is lower than the company's net identifiable assets, the difference is recognized in profit or loss. The portion of the fair value of equity that exceeds the consideration (negative goodwill) is recognized in profit or loss immediately at the acquisition date.

The Group had additions to capitalized development projects of 3.2 MNOK in 2024 compared to 10.2 MNOK in 2023. Non-capitalized costs related to development projects in 2024 amount to 9.5 MNOK. The Group had no research-related costs in either 2023 or 2024. Additions of 3.2 MNOK in 2024 is allocated to the following projects: -Wizx II (0.9 MNOK) -Standardization Project for Packing Machines (0.9 MNOK) -Resource Management System (0.6 MNOK) -LT line development (0.4MNOK) -Manufacturing Execution System (0.4 MNOK) Development costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful life, which varies from asset to asset between 3 to 10 years. The Group continuously evaluates its development projects with regard to recoverable value and market relevance, customers, and/or internal added value. If indicators are identified during such evaluations suggesting that the values of the assets are no longer recoverable, an impairment test will be conducted to determine whether the assets can still justify their carrying amounts. If new estimates conclude that the values are no longer recoverable, the assets will be written down to their recoverable amount, which is the higher of net selling price and value in use (discounted expected future cash flows). Five of the development projects were ongoing and not completed by the end of 2024; therefore, no amortization was carried out on these development projects in 2024. In accordance with the guidelines in IAS 38, the Group will begin amortization of development projects upon their completion. Amortization of 2.4 MNOK in 2024 is allocated to the following completed projects: -WizX (1.5 MNOK) -LT Line software (0.7 MNOK) -Azure data lake (0.2 MNOK) No impairment needs have been identified for development projects as of 31.12.2024 following the annual impairment test. Further details are presented later in this note. Order Backlog / Customer Relationships The Group's identified values of order backlog and customer relationships relate to the acquisition of Avanti Engineering AS in 2021. The value related to the order backlog was written down to 0 in 2021. The customer relationship was amortized over three years and the remaining value of 0.6 MNOK as of 31.12.2023 to customer relationships was fully amortized in 2024 and balance is 0 as of 31.12.2024. Goodwill In assessing the Group's cash-generating units (CGUs), Goodtech has adhered to the guidelines in IAS 36 and evaluated the lowest level at which independent cash flows can be identified in operations. Goodtech's operations are based on units in various cities that collaborate closely on project activities, sales, and marketing efforts—such that collaboration involves a high degree of resource sharing between regions, as well as cooperation on customer contracts and procurement. It has been determined that the operations in Norway as a whole are regarded as a separate cash-generating unit—including the acquired Skala Flytende (further described in note 2) because the Group's regional offices in Norway possess similar attributes within these areas. Goodtech considers activities in individual countries to be so closely related that each country is identified as a cash-generating unit. Similarly, the Group's Swedish operations—with offices in Karlstad and Gothenburg—are Annual Report 2024 74 therefore considered a separate cash-generating unit with its own competitive environment and internal collaboration. Goodwill is not amortized regularly but is instead tested at least once a year for impairment, which in Goodtech is done at year-end. In the event that there are indications of impairment, impairment tests are conducted more frequently. Goodwill arising from business acquisitions is allocated to the individual units where the cash flows are identifiable. Distribution of Goodwill: Amounts in MNOK 2024 2023 Goodtech AS 154.3 154.3 Operations in Norway 154.3 154.3 Goodtech Solution AB - 5.0 Operations in Sweden - 5.0 Carrying amount as of 31.12 154.3 159.3 No impairment needs have been identified following the testing for impairment of goodwill in CGU Norway as of 31.12.2024. For CGU Sweden, in connection with the sale of the subsidiary in February 2025, the goodwill was written down by 5.1 MNOK. Testing for Impairment of Cash-Generating Units Involving Goodwill Impairment testing for cash-generating units (CGUs) with significant carrying amounts of goodwill and intangible assets is based on recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is determined based on an assessment of the cash-generating unit's value in use, where value in use is calculated by discounting expected future cash flows over a period of 5 years, including a terminal value based on the Gordon growth model. Weighted Average Cost of Capital Used in the Impairment Test – After Tax WACC CGU Norway 10,91 % CGU Sweden 11,82 % The discount rate used is risk-adjusted for each cash-generating unit to reflect the specific risks of the asset and is tax-adjusted to after-tax using methods described in IAS 36. The risk-free rate is determined based on 10-year Norwegian and Swedish government bonds. The Norwegian and Swedish risk-free rates are used in the respective calculations of the required rate of return to ensure consistency with the currency of the cash flows for the units. Ten-year government bonds are used to estimate the required return on equity. The calculation of future cash flows is based on a number of assumptions, including economic and market considerations, as well as the cash-generating unit's historical ability to generate profitability in light of known contracts and the order backlog. Forecasts based on the budget for the upcoming year (2025) approved by Group management and the Board of Goodtech ASA have been used. Cash flows beyond the approved budget for the upcoming year (forecast period 2026-2029) are derived from management's estimates and expected market developments for each CGU, considering the cash-generating unit's proven historical ability to generate profitability and growth, as well as growth and profitability among comparable competitors. Expected market developments are therefore viewed in light of historical results in the cash-generating units, as well as compared to the historical performance of a large selection of comparable/competitive companies in each CGU separately as a reference. The basis for these comparisons is based on data extracted from historical Annual Report 2024 75 financial statements for the period 1998-2022 for each individual company. Goodtech is aware that such analysis of annual financial figures may introduce uncertainty in the assessments of individual years and may be affected by accounting and/or operational events specific to individual companies in the analysis, underscoring the importance of a broad yet qualified selection of competitors and comparable companies in the dataset. The same competitor and market assessments have been used as the basis for the reasonableness evaluations of the sensitivity analyses mentioned under "Impairment of Goodwill" in this note. The CGUs in the Group are affected by fluctuations in the markets, and estimates made in weak markets can differ significantly from estimates made in stronger markets. In companies operating in volatile markets, it can therefore be challenging to make accurate long-term decisions when the market is characterized by significant short-term fluctuations. Management expects that the market for the Group's solutions and services will grow in the coming years, and that the Group will also be able to capture a larger relative market share within the respective markets of the mentioned cash-generating units. The Group sees opportunities in a rapidly changing market, where automation, robotic solutions, and digitalization of industry and manufacturing in the Nordic region are increasing in demand in line with the modernization of Nordic industry and the trend of Industry 4.0. Therefore, the budget for 2025 is based on anticipated revenue growth and improvements in EBITDA margins for the individual cash-generating units during the forecast period, aligned with the units' historical ability to deliver similar margins. Growth expectations and increases in earnings beyond the budget period have been incorporated, and the assumptions made are considered reasonable in light of the cash-generating unit's proven historical ability to generate profitability, as well as the competitive landscape mentioned above. Revenue for 2025 is well-supported by the order book at year-end, as well as the opportunities observed in the market. No quantitative assessment or estimate of climate impact has been made in the cash flow projections. However, a qualitative impact has been assessed through: 1.Opportunity for increased demand in the market for the respective CGUs' offerings in process and energy optimization, including solutions for more efficient production, resource utilization, waste control, and insights into the customer's own production. Goodtech has a foothold in several of the Nordic region's leading emerging industries, including offshore wind, battery production, new raw materials, carbon capture and utilization, as well as hydrogen production, and considers the momentum in these segments as an opportunity for further growth in the Group's CGUs. 2.Goodtech delivers control systems and data insight solutions that provide customers with enhanced documentation, influence, and understanding of their own and their value chain's footprint, which is reflected in the cash flows through planned development costs associated with solutions for this to the market. 3.The Group's growth will require a continuous ability to recruit talent for Goodtech. An increasingly important part of this is the Group's own sustainability profile and its ability to clearly demonstrate its impact on society and industry. Goodtech has established a dedicated sustainability strategy and is focused on demonstrating its sustainability profile and relevance to attract future talent, ensuring continued access to talent for future growth. 4.It is also assessed that climate impact is not expected to have a negative effect on the Group's results. Goodtech provides solutions that, in most cases, help reduce the customer's footprint, for example, through the electrification of processes that previously relied on fossil fuels, waste reduction, resource optimization, and reuse optimization, as well as energy management. Additionally, Goodtech is experiencing an increasing number of customers—such as Aker Solutions in Verdal—recognizing the added value of Goodtech's solutions, as they can help reduce the footprint from value chain transport by enabling profitable and competitive local production instead of relying on third-party providers internationally. These factors lead the Group to conclude that climate impacts have a net positive effect on the Group's results because it is believed to increase demand for Goodtech's solutions, and this trend is expected to continue in the forecast period. Goodtech is also working to expand its solutions to include estimates of energy consumption, footprint effects, and other resource savings made to further meet this increased market demand. Annual Report 2024 76 Impairment of Goodwill In conducting the impairment test of goodwill and intangible assets in accordance with IAS 36, no impairment situations have been identified in the CGU Norway as of 31.12.2024. For CGU Sweden, in connection with the sale of the subsidiary in February 2025, the goodwill was written down by 5.1 MNOK. This impairment situation is related to the sale of 100% of Goodtech ASAs shares in subsidiary Goodtech Solutions AB, which was completed in February 2025. The sale was done at a transaction value lower than the sum of Goodwill related to Goodtech Solution AB, and thus – in accordance with the Group’s policy to test for impairment when indications of valuation changes occur, a total of 5,1 MNOK Goodwill was written down as impairment per 31.12.2024. Sensitivity Analysis If the assumptions develop differently than anticipated, this may lead to the need for impairment of goodwill and/or intangible assets. Key assumptions used in the calculation of the recoverable amount include the discount rate and the development of revenue and EBITDA. In connection with the impairment testing of goodwill, the Group will conduct sensitivity analyses for each individual CGU based on the effects of the same key assumptions if there is a reasonable possibility for changes in key assumptions from what is consistent with external sources of information that would lead to evidence of impairment. Per 31.12.2024 Goodtech considers that reasonably possible changes in key assumptions consistent with what is available from external sources of information would not lead to impairment, and thus consequently no sensitivity analyses are provided. CGU Norway The companies in the CGU are delivering satisfactory results in 2024, with continued identifiable potential for improvement. Efforts are ongoing to enhance profitability in the units, with a particular focus on billing rates and revenue categories related to specialist engineering competencies. A satisfactory order reserve as of 31.12.2024 provides a foundation for the expectation of continued profitable operations, and the market outlook for the period starting in 2025 is considered promising and growing. The calculated value in use of CGU Norway exceeds the carrying amount of CGU Norway in the impairment test as of 31.12.2024.

Annual Report 2024 79 Note 16 - Inventory Inventory is accounted for at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is estimated as the selling price in the ordinary course of business less estimated costs of completion, marketing, and distribution. Cost is assigned using the FIFO method and includes expenses incurred in acquiring the goods and costs to bring the goods to their current condition and location. Self-produced goods include variable and fixed costs that can be allocated based on the higher of normal and actual capacity utilization.

Finished goods primarily relate to purchased automation equipment (PLC, HMI, robot vision camera technology, etc.) with long lead times that are acquired based on ongoing consumption in the Group's project delivery. Write-downs for obsolescence of inventory are recognized as cost of goods sold in the period. The carrying amount of inventory has been pledged as collateral and is included as part of the security arrangements with the bank. Annual Report 2024 80 Note 17 - Trade Receivables and Contract Assets Trade receivables represent the Group's right to compensation that is unconditional (for example, trade receivables). Trade receivables are recognized at acquisition cost less impairment losses. Contract assets are defined as the right to compensation in exchange for goods or services that the Group has transferred to a customer. If the Group transfers goods or services to a customer before the customer pays the compensation or before the payment term expires, a contract asset is recognized in the balance sheet for earned compensation that is conditional. Losses on trade receivables are classified as other operating expenses in the income statement. The "provision for losses" line encompasses confirmed losses and provisions per the Group's accounting principles. In 2024, the Group recorded net gains of 1.1 million NOK from reversed customer bankruptcies, while remaining losses relate to routine provisions for older receivables. The Group uses a simplified method to calculate impairment provisions for trade receivables and contract assets, employing a matrix for overdue receivables (31-60 days, 61-90 days, and over 90 days). The Group also assesses cases where it seems unlikely to collect outstanding amounts on invoices, excluding collateral considerations. A financial asset is fully written down if expected cash flows are deemed unreasonable.

In the balance sheet, the net positive balance in each currency within the Group account arrangement is presented under cash and cash equivalents. Similarly, net overdrafts in each currency are presented as current interest-bearing liabilities. In the cash flow statement, the Group account arrangement is included in the balance of cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents for continuing operations are presented in the balance sheet, while cash and cash equivalents from discontinued operations are presented under assets held for sale. The cash flow statement includes movements for both continuing and discontinued operations and distinguishes between the cash balances at the bottom of the statement. Amounts in MNOK 2024 2023 Cash in bank and in hand 110.8 104.4 Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet 110.8 104.4 The Group has a Group account system with Nordea, where Goodtech ASA is the Group account holder and other Group companies are sub-account holders (participants). Nordea periodically offsets overdrafts and balances against each other so that the net position represents the outstanding balance between the bank and the Group account holder at the given time. Goodtech has treated deposits/withdrawals in various currencies within the Group account arrangement as separate financial instruments, so that overdrafts on the Group account in a given currency are treated as other current liabilities. As of 31.12.2024, Goodtech had a positive balance in NOK and USD, as well as a net overdraft in SEK and EUR (further described in note 20). Additionally, the Group has company accounts outside the Group account arrangement that are used for daily operations, as well as for restricted bank deposits as tax withholding funds. Total cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet are thus distributed as follows: Cash and Cash Equivalents 0.0 Restricted Funds 14.2 Cash and Cash Equivalents in Separate Company Accounts 14.2 Cashpool NOK 80.5 Cashpool SEK 0.0 Cashpool EUR 0.0 Cashpool USD 16.0 Cash and Cash Equivalents in Group Account System 96.5 Total Cash and Cash Equivalents in the Balance Sheet as of 31.12.24 110.8 There are no restrictions on the use of these funds beyond covenant requirements from Nordea (more information on this can be found in note 20). Annual Report 2024 83 Note 20 - Interest-Bearing Loans and Credits Financial liabilities are classified, upon initial recognition, as loans and obligations. Loans and obligations are recognized at fair value adjusted for directly attributable transaction costs. Loans are recorded at fair value when the loan is disbursed, less transaction costs. In subsequent periods, loans are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The difference between the disbursed loan amount (less transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in profit or loss over the loan's term. Loans are classified as current liabilities unless there is an unconditional right to defer payment of the debt for more than 12 months from the balance sheet date. Loan expenses that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction, or production of a qualifying asset are capitalized as part of the asset's acquisition cost. A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation is discharged, canceled, or expires. If an existing liability is replaced by a new one from the same lender with significantly different terms, or if the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, the original liability is derecognized, and a new liability is recognized. The difference in carrying amount is recorded in profit or loss. Goodtech has an agreement with Nordea as the Group's main banking partner for both operating credit lines and long-term loans, as well as the Group guarantee framework, where the credit and guarantee limits are subject to annual renewal. The following financial covenants apply to the engagement with Nordea and are measured quarterly: -A quarterly "cleandown" on the Group credit line for at least five consecutive days after the end of the period. This means that, in practice, the peak account in the Group credit line must have a net positive balance for at least five consecutive days each quarter. -Net interest-bearing debt / 12-month rolling EBITDA < 2.5x. Goodtech has complied with these covenants throughout 2024 and as of December 31, 2024. Interest Bearing Debt As of December 31, 2024, the Group had a drawdown on the Group account arrangement in SEK of 13.7 million NOK and a drawdown on the Group account arrangement in EUR of 3.8 million NOK, as indicated in the table above. All other interest-bearing debt was related to recognized lease liabilities.

Additionally, Nordea has a cross-default clause and a Material Adverse Change clause. The recorded values of real estate, inventory, and trade receivables pledged as collateral to Nordea as of December 31, 2024, are indicated in notes 12, 16, 17, and 32. The parent company Goodtech ASA has also provided a guarantee to Nordea Finland (Åland) for Goodtech Environmental Solution AB's total banking engagement, which consists of loans and guarantee limits. Furthermore, Goodtech ASA has issued guarantees for loans, operating facilities, and project guarantees for the former Goodtech Environment AB (GEAB), which went bankrupt in 2019. The Group made a provision for expected losses on the guarantees provided to Nordea in connection with the bankruptcy of GEAB and performs ongoing reassessments of the provision as new information about the bankruptcy proceedings becomes available. The provision was recorded at 2.7 million NOK as of December 31, 2023. The bankruptcy estate of GEAB was settled in July resulting in a loss of 1.9 million NOK and a corresponding reversal of the provision of 0.8 million in 2024.

A contractual obligation is a duty to transfer goods or services to a customer from whom the Group has received compensation (or has the right to compensation that is due). If a customer pays compensation before the Group transfers goods or services to the customer, a contractual obligation will be recognized at the time of payment. Contractual obligations are recognized as revenue at the time the Group fulfils the performance obligation as specified in the contract. A repayment obligation is the requirement to repay all or part of the compensation that has been (expected to be) received from a customer and is measured as the amount that the Group ultimately does not expect to be entitled to. The Group updates its estimates of repayment obligations (and the related change in transaction price) at the end of each reporting period by reassessing the estimates related to variable compensation and associated limitation mechanisms.

If the effect is significant, the provision is calculated by discounting expected future cash flows using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the current market situation and the risks specific to the obligation. 2023 Amounts in MNOK Guarantees Provisions Loss Contracts Sum Provisions as of January 1 2.2 9.3 0.2 11.7 Provisions during the year 5.5 0.3 0.6 6.4 Provision reversed during the year -2.7 -6.6 -0.2 -9.5 Provisions utilized during the year -0.1 - - -0.1 Provisions as of December 31 4.9 3.1 0.6 8.5 Expected Timing of Payments Within the next 12 months 4.9 2.7 0.6 8.2 After the next 12 months - 0.3 - 0.3 Total provisions 4.9 3.1 0.6 8.5 2024 Amounts in MNOK Guarantees Provisions Loss Contracts Sum Provisions as of January 1 4.9 3.1 0.6 8.5 Provisions during the year 8.5 - 6.6 15.1 Provisions classified as liabilities in disposal group -2.7 - - -2.7 Provision reversed during the year -3.7 -2.9 -6.9 -13.5 Provisions utilized during the year -0.8 - - -0.8 Provisions as of December 31 6.2 0.2 0.3 6.7 Expected Timing of Payments Within the next 12 months 3.1 0.1 0.3 6.6 After the next 12 months 3.1 0.1 - 0.1 Total provisions 6.2 0.2 0.3 6.7 Guarantees Provision for warranty work relates to costs associated with potential future warranty work on products and services delivered by the Group. The provision is based on warranty obligations the Group has under signed contracts, as well as historical experience with the frequency and costs of warranty work. The Group typically provides a warranty period of 1 to 2 years on sold products and services. Warranty provisions are included in project forecasts and are built up over the project's lifespan in accordance with the degree of completion. When projects are completed and handed over to the customer, the warranty provision is reassessed and recognized in the provision account in the balance sheet. Provisions Provisions primarily relate to surety obligations associated with discontinued operations in connection with the bankruptcy of GE AB, which amounted to 2.7 MNOK as of 31.12.2023. This amount has been settled in 2024. Loss Contracts A provision for loss-making contracts is recognized when the Group's expected revenue from a contract is lower than the unavoidable costs incurred to fulfil the contractual obligations. In such cases, the Group will recognize the entire loss on the contract in the period in which information indicates that expected revenues are lower than unavoidable costs.

Goodtech Environmental Solutions AB has been decided to be sold and classified as a business held for sale in 2022. In connection with the sale of Goodtech Solutions AB in February 2025, this company has also been classified as a business held for sale as of 31.12.2024. Former subsidiaries Neuron Solution AS (as of October 1, 2022) and Goodtech Electro AS (as of July 1, 2022) are accounted for in the Group as associated companies. As a result, there were no non-controlling interests as of December 31, 2023, or December 31, 2024. All subsidiaries are consolidated in the Group financial statements, and the voting rights are attached to ordinary shares. Annual Report 2024 93 Note 26 - Financial Risk and Financial Instruments The Group operates in several European countries and is primarily exposed to interest rate risk, currency risk, liquidity risk, and credit risk. The board and management conduct an annual risk assessment across the Group’s business areas, along with a review of risk management procedures. The Group's management is responsible for evaluating these risks and continuously revising guidelines for their management. Management within each business area is responsible for ongoing monitoring of risk conditions within their jurisdiction. Capital Management The board and management of Goodtech continuously work to ensure a robust capital structure and sufficient available financing within the Group, enabling it to address risk-adjusted opportunities that arise while maintaining the trust of equity holders, creditors, and other market participants in Goodtech's management. The Group actively manages cash and directs its capital structure based on an ongoing assessment of the economic conditions in which it operates and the short- and medium-term outlook. The Group monitors its capital structure by considering the following parameters: -Debt ratio, defined as net interest-bearing debt divided by equity -Equity ratio, defined as equity divided by total assets on the balance sheet -Concurrently, Goodtech is managed with a focus on covenants related to its debt financing, as further discussed in note 20. No companies within the Group are subject to external capital requirements beyond those imposed by Nordea. Credit Risk Goodtech has its own procedures for assessing creditworthiness regarding existing and new customer and supplier relationships. As of December 31, 2024, the risk of financial default among the Group’s counterparties is considered moderate. Routine provisions for losses on trade receivables are made periodically and are further discussed in Notes 1.6 and 17. The Group has not identified any significant additional credit risk related to counterparties. The Group's project portfolio also has a natural diversification across customers and industries—both in number and size—which results in a moderate concentration of credit risk in ongoing relationships as of December 31, 2024. Goodtech primarily works with large industrial Groups, which are considered to have higher creditworthiness. The Group considers its maximum credit risk exposure to be the book values of trade receivables and other current assets. Maximum Credit Exposure Amounts in MNOK 2024 2023 Cash and cash equivalents (note 19) 110.7 104.4 Contract assets (note 17) 15.2 52.3 Trade receivables (note 17) 92.7 77.1 Other current receivables (note 18) 15.0 16.2 Annual Report 2024 94 Interest Rate Risk The Group's interest rate risk primarily arises from floating-rate financing. Surplus liquidity is mainly held in bank deposits, while interest-bearing debt includes loans, credit facility drawings, and IFRS 16 lease obligations. Changes in market interest rates impact interest income and expenses, as detailed in note 9. The main objective of managing financial interest rate risk is to reduce financial risk while minimizing net interest costs over time. The Group’s interest-bearing debt is generally entered into with floating interest rates. Changes in the interest rate level of the Group's loans will affect the interest cost for the Group. A sensitivity analysis reflects a change in the interest rate level by 0.5 basis points compared to the interest rate level as of December 31, 2024. If all interest rates for all currencies classified as interest-bearing debt as of December 31, 2024, had been reduced or increased by 50 basis points for Goodtech ASA and its subsidiaries, the interest cost for the Group would have been 0.1 million NOK higher or lower as of December 31, 2024 (0.0 million NOK as of December 31, 2023). Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due. Liquidity management is intended to ensure that available liquidity is sufficient to meet obligations at maturity. The Group's strategy is to maintain sufficient cash, cash equivalents, and/or credit financing options (further discussed in note 20) to finance ongoing operations and investments in accordance with the Group’s strategic plan at all times. The Group has a net positive liquidity position as of December 31, 2024. The Group monitors its liquidity situation both in the short and long term through active monitoring and management of working capital, including continuous follow-up on overdue receivables. The following table provides an overview of the maturity structure for the Group’s financial obligations based on nominal repayments and estimated interest payments. Estimated future interest payments are based on the maturity profile of the Group’s financial obligations. Annual Report 2024 95 Maturity Profile of the Group’s Financial Obligations as of December 31, 2024 2024 Amounts in MNOK < 1 year 1-3 years 3-5 years > 5 years Total Interest-bearing debt Bank loans - Lease liabilities 13.8 16.7 8.4 4.4 43.2 Drawings on operating credit 17.5 17.5 Total interest-bearing debt 31.3 16.7 8.4 4.4 60.7 Non-interest-bearing debt Trade payables 39.1 39.1 Other current liabilities 94.1 94.1 Liabilities held for sale 36.5 36.5 Total non-interest-bearing debt 169.6 - - - 169.6 Total interest-bearing and non-interest-bearing debt 200.9 16.7 8.4 4.4 230.3 Future interest payments - Future discount rates, lease liabilities 1.7 2.1 0.9 0.2 4.9 Total including interest payments 203.0 18.7 9.3 4.6 235.6 2023 Amounts in MNOK < 1 year 1-3 years 3-5 years > 5 years Total Interest-bearing debt Bank loans - Lease liabilities 18.8 25.9 10.6 6.9 62.2 Drawings on operating credit - Total interest-bearing debt 18.8 25.9 10.6 6.9 62.2 Non-interest-bearing debt Trade payables 79.0 79.0 Other current liabilities 100.4 100.4 Liabilities held for sale 16.3 16.3 Total non-interest-bearing debt 195.7 - - - 195.7 Total interest-bearing and non-interest-bearing debt 214.6 25.9 10.6 6.9 257.9 Future interest payments - Future discount rates, lease liabilities 2.0 2.4 1.1 0.3 5.9 Total including interest payments 216.6 28.3 11.7 7.2 263.8 Currency Risk Goodtech is exposed to currency risk related to customer projects both within and outside Europe, where contracts are primarily denominated in NOK, SEK, EUR, or USD. Fluctuations in currency can lead to changes in earnings in NOK for foreign projects. This means that the Group's largest fluctuations in currency exposure occur in SEK, USD, and/or EUR. Therefore, it is generally sought that purchases and sales in individual projects are conducted in the same currency. The carrying amount of the Group’s net investments in foreign entities fluctuates with changes in Norwegian kroner compared to relevant currencies. The Group’s profit after tax is also affected by changes in exchange rates, as the results from foreign entities are converted to Norwegian kroner using a weighted average exchange rate for the period. See note 1.3 for more information on the Group’s currency management principles in the consolidated and company financial statements. Additionally, the Group has established a multi-currency cash pool system that helps to mitigate currency risks (more info in note 20). Annual Report 2024 96 Cash Pool by Currency Amount in currency Amount in NOK NOK 80.6 80.6 SEK -13.3 -13.7 EUR -0.3 -3.8 USD 1.4 16.0 Total 79.1 The Group's profit before tax and equity are now less affected by potential fluctuations in the exchange rate of the Norwegian krone, as GS AB and GES AB are classified as held for sale. The Group has the option to enter into currency hedging transactions with credit institutions but has not utilized this option in 2024. Determination of Fair Value Goodtech only has financial assets and liabilities that are accounted for at amortized cost, where the carrying amount is considered a reasonable approximation of fair value. Annual Report 2024 97 Categories of Financial Instruments 2024 Amounts in MNOK Financial instruments measured at amortized cost Total Trade receivables 92.7 92.7 Other current receivables 15.0 15.0 Cash and cash equivalents 110.7 110.7 Total 218.4 218.4 Non-current interest-bearing debt - - Current interest-bearing debt 17.5 17.5 Trade payables 39.1 39.1 Lease liabilities 43.2 43.2 Other current liabilities 94.1 94.1 Total 193.9 193.9 Total financial instruments 412.3 412.3 2023 Amounts in MNOK Financial instruments measured at amortized cost Total Trade receivables 77.1 77.1 Other current receivables 16.2 16.2 Cash and cash equivalents 104.4 104.4 Total 197.7 197.7 Non-current interest-bearing debt - - Current interest-bearing debt - - Trade payables 78.6 78.6 Lease liabilities 56.3 56.3 Other current liabilities 100.4 100.4 Total 235.2 235.2 Total financial instruments 432.9 432.9 Valuation Hierarchy The Group classifies fair value measurements into its own hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in developing the measurements. No financial assets or liabilities have been reclassified in such a way that the measurement method has changed from amortized cost to fair value, or vice versa, during the period. The different valuation levels are defined as follows: -Level 1: Fair value is measured using quoted prices in active markets for identical financial instruments. -Level 2: Fair value is measured using other observable inputs than those used in Level 1, either directly (prices) or indirectly (derived from prices). -Level 3: Fair value is measured using inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). Annual Report 2024 98 Note 27 - Contingent Liabilities Operational and Project Risk, and Uncertainty The Group occasionally receives claims arising from its ordinary operations. These may include warranty claims and claims for damages resulting from injury to persons or property that have occurred from the use of the company's products and solutions. Management is not aware of any ongoing matters that would result in significant obligations for the Group. The Group has projects based on long-term contracts, some of which are fixed-price total contracts. Failure to meet delivery deadlines or performance guarantees, as well as increases in project costs, may result in costs that cannot be recovered and that may exceed the revenues from the respective project. Where a project is identified as loss-making, provisions are made to cover future losses. The accounting treatment is based on available information and recommendations. Circumstances and information may change in subsequent periods, and the final outcome may therefore be better or worse than the assessments made at the time of preparing the financial statements. Legal Disputes As of December 31, 2024, the Group was involved in a legal dispute with a customer concerning a contract payment. This matter was conclusively settled in March 2025. Bank and Group Guarantees The Group has provided security to Nordea and other bank connections in connection with the Group's operating credit and guarantee facilities. See note 20 for more details on these securities. Annual Report 2024 99 Note 28 - Transactions with Related Parties Goodtech ASA is the parent company and holds both direct and indirect ownership and control of three companies as of December 31, 2024. These companies are listed in note 25. Transactions between Group companies are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. Intercompany balances with the parent company are detailed in note 9 of Goodtech ASA's financial statements. Goodtech occasionally engages in purchase and sale transactions with related parties as part of its normal business operations. In 2024, there were no transactions with related parties. Information regarding compensation for the Board and key management personnel is presented in note 15 of the consolidated financial statements. Note 29 - Events After the Reporting Period New information received after the reporting date regarding the Group's financial position as of the reporting date has been taken into account in the annual financial statements. Events after the reporting period that do not affect the Group's financial position at the reporting date but will impact the Group's financial position in the future are disclosed if they are material. On 10th February 2025, Goodtech ASA completed the sale of its 100% interest in Goodtech Solutions AB (“GSAB”) to Lazarus Industriförvaltning AB (“Lazarus”) for an undisclosed amount. In accordance with the guidelines in IFRS 5, GSABs financials are reported as held for sale in the balance sheet and as discontinued operations in the P&L statement. See note 32 for held for sale and discontinuing operations for further information. In connection with the sale of Goodtech Solutions AB, Goodtech has outstanding bank and project guarantees that will expire during Q3 2025. All guarantees are capped, and any claims against these guarantees require the new owner to actively work towards fulfilling the project deliverables covered by the guarantees. There are no other significant events after the balance sheet date Note 30 - Public Support Schemes Public grants are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the company will meet the conditions attached to the grants and that the grants will be received. Operating grants are accounted for systematically over the grant period. Grants are deducted from the costs they are intended to cover. Investment grants are capitalized and recognized systematically over the useful life of the asset. Investment grants are recognized by deducting the grant amount from the carrying amount of the asset. Goodtech has been granted support from the Norwegian Research Council to assist the Haraldrud facility in Oslo with the application of ash from their incineration processes. In 2024, the support of 1.5 MNOK is recognized as other revenue as the conditions for the grant was met. Annual Report 2024 100 Note 31 - Investment in Associated Companies Associated companies are entities over which Goodtech has significant influence but not control or joint control. Significant influence is generally considered to exist when the Group holds between 20 and 50 percent of the voting rights. The results, assets, and liabilities of an associated company are recognized in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method. The presentation of the total comprehensive income net of tax for the Group reflects the share of the profit from associated companies. Any excess over the acquisition cost beyond the Group's share of the net fair value of identifiable assets, liabilities, and contingent liabilities of the associated company recognized at the acquisition date is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is assessed for impairment as part of the investment. After applying the equity method, the Group assesses whether it is necessary to record additional impairment on the individual investments. The Group determines if there are indicators of impairment, and if so, calculates the impairment loss as the difference between the recoverable amount for the associated company and its carrying amount. The former subsidiary Goodtech Electro AS has been accounted for under the equity method effective from July 1, 2022, while Neuron Solution AS has been accounted for under the equity method effective from October 1, 2022, further info and movement in carrying amount for associated companies in tables below: Associated companies Ownership 2024 Office Country Goodtech Electro AS 50.0 % Oslo Norge Neuron Solution AS 43.0 % Bergen Norge Associated companies Carrying amount as of 01.01 Additions to associated companies Share of Profit in 2024 Carrying amount as of 31.12 Goodtech Electro AS 1.2 - 0.8 2.0 Neuron AS 1.1 - 0.1 1.2 Total 2.3 - 0.9 3.2 Investments in associated companies as of 31.12.2024 include goodwill of 1.5 MNOK for Neuron Solution AS.

This is considered to be met only when the sale is highly probable, and the asset (or Groups of assets and liabilities) is available for immediate sale in its current condition. Management must be committed to the sale, and the sale is expected to be completed within one year from the date of classification. Non-current assets and Groups of non-current assets and liabilities classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their previous carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Discontinued Operations Classification as discontinued operations occur upon disposal or when a component meets the criteria for held for sale as further specified in IFRS 5. A component comprises operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished from the rest of the entity for operational and financial reporting purposes. A discontinued operation is a component that has either been disposed of or is classified as held for sale. Discontinued operations are presented on a separate line in the income statement and are restated for prior periods presented in the financial statements. Goodtech Environmental Solutions AB (GES AB) On December 20, 2022, Goodtech announced an agreement with NCC for the acquisition of the biogas, water, and wastewater expertise of the Group in Åland. The remaining business is being offered for sale along with the property. The balance sheet of Goodtech Environmental Solutions AB is classified as non-current assets held for sale, and the results are presented as discontinued operations. Judgment has been applied in assessing whether the criteria for classification as held for sale and reporting as discontinued operations are met. It has been assumed that the assets of Goodtech Environmental Solutions AB constitute a Group of assets to be disposed of together as a Group in a single transaction upon sale, along with liabilities directly associated with these assets that will be transferred in the transaction. The disposal Group was available for immediate sale as its current condition, and it was considered highly probable that the sale will be completed within one year. In connection with the preparation of the annual report for 2023, an updated assessment of the Group's accounting in relation to IFRS 5 has been conducted, concluding that the same conclusion as for the 2022 financial statements remain. The updated assessment confirms that management still has a clear and realistic plan to sell the business and is actively in the market to find a buyer. Additionally, external influences beyond the Group's control that have impacted the timeline for the sale have been considered, and it has been concluded that the Group has adapted to the prevailing market conditions, including the assessment that the sale is ongoing with a realistic price expectation. Goodtech announced on July 1, 2024, that its subsidiary, Goodtech Environmental Solutions AB (GESAB), has successfully sold the building and property assets of the company for a total of 1.8 MEUR to Zero Ventures in Åland. The accounting effects are expected to be largely in line with the existing carrying amounts. The proceeds will be used to repay a term loan (~0.4 MEUR) and the remainder to pay down drawings on the Group credit facility secured by the building and property assets in Åland. After the transaction, Goodtech still owns 100% of the shares in GESAB, and the classification of the business area as held for sale and discontinued operations is maintained. Annual Report 2024 102 Goodtech Solutions AB (GS AB) In October 2024 Goodtech decided to start a process of selling Goodtech Solutions AB. On 10th February 2025, Goodtech ASA completed the sale of its 100% interest in Goodtech Solutions AB (“GSAB”) to Lazarus Industriförvaltning AB (“Lazarus”) for an undisclosed amount. In accordance with the guidelines in IFRS 5, GSABs financials are reported as held for sale in the balance sheet and as discontinued operations in the P&L statement Earnings from Discontinued Operations Discontinued operations (Amounts in MNOK) 2024 2023 Revenue 143.7 287.8 Expenses -177.5 -296.6 Earnings before tax -33.7 -8.7 Tax expenses -7.9 5.0 Total earnings after tax from discontinued operations -41.7 -3.8 Earnings after tax from discontinued operations GES AB -10.1 -20.8 Earnings after tax from discontinued operations GS AB -31.6 17.0 Assets and Liabilities Reclassified as Held for Sale: Assets held for sale (Amounts in MNOK) 2024 2023 Total current assets 30.7 32.8 Total assets from disposal Group held for sale 30.7 32.8 Liabilities held for sale (Amounts in MNOK) Total current liabilities 36.5 16.3 Total liabilities from disposal Group held for sale 36.5 16.3 The discontinued operations in Sweden (Goodtech Solutions AB) and in Finland (Goodtech Environmental Solutions AB) delivered a loss after tax (discontinued operations) of -41,7 MNOK in 2024, compared to -3.8 MNOK in the same period in 2023. The losses in 2024 includes goodwill, deferred tax and other write-downs of 14 MNOK related to Goodtech Solutions AB and write downs of 1 MNOK related to Goodtech Environmental Solutions AB. Goodtech Solutions AB's cash balance as of 31.12.2024 is 0.0 MNOK (30.9 MNOK as of 31.12.2023). Cashflows for Goodtech Environmental Solution AB: Amounts in MNOK 2024 2023 Cash flow from operating activities -11.4 -5.5 Cash flow from investing activities 21.4 -1.8 Cash flow from financing activities -12.3 0.9 Cash flows during the period -2.3 -6.4 Goodtech Environmental Solutions AB's cash balance as of 31.12.2024 is 0.0 MNOK (2.3 MNOK as of 31.12.2023).

Goodtech Solution AB assets and liabilities were not classified as held for sale in 31.12.2023. Goodtech Environment AB (GE AB) Bankruptcy was declared on June 13, 2019, for Goodtech Environment AB as a result of the Odderøya project. Goodtech's new company in Åland, Goodtech Environmental Solutions AB, entered into an agreement with the bankruptcy administrator on June 18, 2019, to take over the property and premises of GE AB. Goodtech ASA has provided guarantees for loans, operating facilities, and project guarantees related to the former GE AB. A judgment-based provision has been made for obligations of Goodtech ASA related to the former GE AB, which is further specified in note 23. The bankruptcy estate was finally settled and closed in 2024, and Goodtech has therefore also settled its final outstanding amount with Nordea, totalling 172 KEUR, which was paid in July 2024. The Group previously had a provision for such surety obligations totalling 2.7 MNOK, and the difference between the final settlement and the provision is recognized as discontinued operations in the Group. Annual Report 2024 104 Note 33 - Share-Based Compensation Goodtech launched a share-based incentive program (RSU Matching Program) in 2022 for Group and regional leaders. Key employees are given the opportunity to invest in the company at market price with a sales restriction that applies for a period of three years ("restricted shares"). Provided that the key employee remains in their position at the end of the sales restriction period, the company may grant shares at no cost to the key employee ("Matching Shares"). The Matching Shares in the agreement fall under the guidelines of IFRS 2 Share-Based Payment and will be handled in accordance with the standard for share-based compensation. From 2022 to 2024, the same share-based incentive program has conducted a total of six allocation rounds. The allocation dates for the matching shares are June 24, 2022, January 17, 2023, June 1, 2023, September 21, 2023 and December 12, 2024. The vesting condition is a service period of 3 years from the allocation date. There are no performance conditions beyond the service period. The number of matching shares is determined by job level, and the number of subscribed shares (restricted shares) is multiplied by 1x to 3x as stipulated in agreements, resulting in the total number of matching shares if all vesting conditions are met. Matching shares are referred to as options in IFRS 2 and are essentially a stock option with an exercise price of 0. Therefore, the table below does not contain information about average exercise prices, as this is 0, but it includes an overview of the number of matching shares: 2024 2023 Outstanding options at the beginning of the period 894 429 678 634 Options granted during the period 32 530 215 795 Options forfeited during the period 166 332 - Options exercised during the period - - Options expired during the period - - Outstanding options at the end of the period 760 627 894 429 Options exercisable at the end of the period - - Matching shares are share-based payment transactions settled in equity and are to be measured at fair value. The fair value of the granted equity instruments shall be measured at the allocation date.

The most central principles are described below. Use of Estimates Management has used estimates and assumptions that have affected the income statement and the valuation of assets and liabilities, as well as contingent assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet date, in the preparation of the annual financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting practices. Currency Transactions in foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate on the transaction date. Monetary items in foreign currency are converted to Norwegian kroner using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items measured at fair value expressed in foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate determined at the measurement date. Exchange rate fluctuations are recognized in the income statement continuously during the accounting period under other financial items. Criteria for Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized when it is earned, meaning when the claim for consideration arises. This occurs when the service is performed, in line with the work being executed. Revenues are recognized at the value of the consideration at the transaction date. Taxes The tax expense is reconciled with the ordinary profit before tax. The tax expense consists of current tax and changes in deferred tax. Deferred tax/tax asset is calculated on all differences between the accounting and tax values of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax is calculated at 22% based on the temporary differences that exist between accounting and tax values, as well as tax losses carried forward at the end of the financial year. The net deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that it can be utilized. Current tax and deferred tax are accounted for directly against equity to the extent that the tax items relate to items recognized directly in equity. Classification and Measurement of Balance Sheet Items Current assets and current liabilities include items that are due for payment within one year of the acquisition date, as well as items related to the operating cycle. Other items are classified as non-current assets/long-term liabilities. Current assets are measured at the lower of cost and fair value. Current liabilities are recognized at their nominal amount at the time of recognition. Non-current assets are measured at cost but are written down to fair value if the impairment is not expected to be temporary. Long-term liabilities are recognized at their nominal amount at the time of establishment. Property, Plant, and Equipment Property, plant, and equipment are recorded in the balance sheet at cost, less accumulated ordinary depreciation and impairments. Property, plant, and equipment are capitalized and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the expected useful life of the asset. Direct maintenance of the assets is expensed as incurred under operating expenses, while improvements or enhancements are added to the asset's cost and depreciated in accordance with the asset. If the recoverable amount of the asset is less than its carrying amount, an impairment is made to the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of net selling price and value in use. Value in use is the present value of the future cash flows that the asset is expected to generate. Annual Report 2024 110 Subsidiary / Associated Company / Jointly Controlled Entity Subsidiaries, associated companies, and jointly controlled entities are assessed using the cost method in the company’s financial statements. Investments are valued at the acquisition cost of the shares unless impairment has been necessary. Impairments to fair value are recognized when declines in value are due to factors that are not expected to be temporary and are deemed necessary according to generally accepted accounting principles. Any impairment made is reversed when the basis for the impairment is no longer present. Dividends, Group contributions, and other distributions from subsidiaries are recognized in the same year they are allocated in the giver's financial statements. If the dividend/Group contribution exceeds the share of retained earnings since the acquisition date, the excess amount represents a return of invested capital, and the distributions are deducted from the investment's value in the balance sheet. Receivables Trade receivables and other receivables are recorded in the balance sheet at nominal value, less an allowance for expected losses. The allowance for losses is based on individual assessments of the receivables. In addition, a general allowance is made for receivables to cover anticipated losses. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents for the company consist of cash balances, the balance in designated bank accounts for the company, as well as the net balance in the Group's Group account arrangement. The difference between the net balance in the company's account in the Group's Group account arrangement and the total net balance in the Group account arrangement for the entire Group is presented as intercompany balances. Current Investments Current investments (shares and holdings classified as current assets) are measured at the lower of cost and fair value at the balance sheet date. Dividends received and other distributions from the companies are recognized as other financial income. Transactions with Related Parties Transactions between Group companies are conducted at arm's length. Cash Flow Statement The cash flow statement has been prepared based on the indirect method. This means that the analysis starts with the entity's annual profit in order to present cash flows generated from operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities.
