CEO Introduction
From Strategy to Impact
As we close the chapter on 2025, I am pleased to report that Goodtech ASA has not only delivered on its promises, but has accelerated its trajectory toward sustainable, profitable growth. This year has been defined by a sharp focus on our core business — delivering industrial competitiveness through automation, robotics, industrial IT, and digitalisation — resulting in not only organic growth but significantly improved margins. Early in the year, we completed the divestment of our Swedish subsidiary, exited our loss-making Finnish entity. Both ended in insolvency during the first quarter. These exits were necessary to sharpen our strategic focus on core business, and the company is now well positioned to drive margin expansion and deliver sustainable profitability going forward.
2025 was a year where our strategic choices began to yield tangible rewards. In a market characterised by volatility and rapid change, Goodtech stood firm as a partner of choice for industry leaders seeking to digitalise, decarbonise and optimise their operations.
Operational Excellence and Strategic Partnerships
Perhaps the most definitive milestone of the year, was strengthening our position in the renewable energy sector. In October, we announced a landmark contract with Equinor to provide the SCADA and control room solutions for the Bałtyk 2 & 3 offshore wind farms. This contract is not only a commercial win; it is a validation of our expertise and confirms that Goodtech is a trusted technology partner, delivering control and monitoring of some of Europe’s most ambitious energy projects. It positions Goodtech firmly at the intersection of the green transition and industrial digitalisation.
Throughout 2025, we further continued to deepen our collaboration with key industrial players. Our new framework agreement with Hafslund Celsio for IT and operational technology (OT) services underscores our ability to bridge the gap between traditional industry and modern digital infrastructure. In new advancing segments, Goodtech has been working with Alginor on their biorefinery pilot which aims to transform alginates to high-value ingredients, and our work with long standing partners in traditional industries such as Orkla Health Ocean and Wacker Chemicals all demonstrates that Goodtech deliver quality and build lasting trust with the industrial players.
Thriving in a Growing Market
Goodtech has experienced a solid activity level across all locations and business segments, driven by a clear market trend: the industry’s need for efficiency is no longer optional — it is existential. Whether it is optimising production lines, securing energy supply, or implementing advanced data analytics, Goodtech is the architect behind these critical transformations.
Financially, 2025 has been a year of solidification. Goodtech maintained a robust capital structure with no outstanding debt, giving us the freedom to act with agility. Goodtech has a substantial year-over-year growth in EBITA, driven by a more focused business model, improved project execution and a shift toward higher-value service agreements. The company enters 2026 with a solid order backlog and a streamlined and competent organisation.
My colleagues in Goodtech are the company’s most important asset. I am

incredibly proud of how the organisation every day creates solutions that empower industries to compete and win their commercial battles, in a world where uncertainties have become the new normal. Our company invest in retaining our competent workforce, attracting skilled employees and further develop our employees as technology rapidly shifts. Goodtech’s employee satisfaction remains a cornerstone of our success. In 2025, our Great Place to Work score improved from 78% in 2024 to 83%, a remarkable achievement that reflects our commitment to creating an engaging and supportive workplace.
Strong Market Outlook
Looking ahead, Goodtech will continue to support Nordic industry in its pursuit of improved competitiveness. Whilst larger transformation projects have a longer decision span and often start off with studies and pilot projects, we do experience growing international interest in how Goodtech are demonstrating short payback times on large capex investments. The Report on the Digitalisation of the European Economy (2024), led by former ECB President Mario Draghi, highlights digitalisation as essential to strengthening Europe’s competitiveness. According to the report, 70% of future economic growth will stem from digital transformation, making it Europe’s most important lever for long-term economic resilience. The Draghi report calls for unified digital infrastructure, rapid technology adoption, workforce upskilling, supportive regulation, and strategic investment in artificial intelligence.It specifically emphasises the need for Industry 4.0, urging industry to accelerate advanced automation, IoT, and digital-twin technologies, and to invest in AI as a foundation for strategic capabilities. It also stresses the role of digitalisation in enabling the green transition through energy management, resource efficiency, and sustainable manufacturing. This is precisely Goodtech’s core. As the Nordic Industry 4.0 enabler — combining automation, and smart data solutions — we are well positioned to capture the market opportunities ahead. As we continue to address industrial challenges, we also maintain a strong focus on our own competitiveness and on further margin expansion. Artificial intelligence is creating new opportunities for both the industry and for Goodtech, and by applying AI‑driven analytics, predictive maintenance, and automation, the company can deliver greater value, develop new service offerings, and strengthen its competitive position in a rapidly evolving market. With solid market opportunities and growth in segments such as the energy sector—particularly offshore wind and grid optimisation—combined with the industry’s increasing drive toward automation, Goodtech is well positioned to continue its positive development. I would like to acknowledge the strong efforts of our employees, whose professionalism and commitment contribute to delivering high-quality automation and industrial efficiency solutions. I would also like to thank our customers, partners, and suppliers for constructive collaboration – and for keeping us highly motivated. Together, we help strengthen the competitiveness and operational performance of the industries we serve.
Sincerely,
Margrethe Hauge
Chief Executive Officer

Board of Directors’ Report
The Business
Goodtech is one of the leading specialists in control systems, digitalisation, and production optimisation for the manufacturing industry. With around 300 skilled engineers and specialists across 12 locations in Norway and Sweden, the company plays an active role in modernising, streamlining, and - most importantly - driving the critical digital transformation currently taking place in Nordic industry.
Strategic Re-positioning
The past five years mark a profound strategic repositioning for Goodtech, transforming the Group into a highly focused system integrator and specialist in industrial automation and digitalisation, well positioned in the large industry hubs across the Nordics. This transformation was executed through a systematic divestment program aimed at exiting non-core, capital-intensive, and lower-margin business areas, including the sale and later liquidation of the Åland-based environmental solutions operations (Axges AB, earlier Goodtech Environmental Solutions AB) and the divestment of the Goodtech Solutions AB subsidiary. At the same, the Group intensified its focus on core competencies: delivering critical optimisation and control solutions within industrial production. This clear strategic pivot has improved profitability and established a robust balance sheet, enabling Goodtech to capitalise on the increasing market demand for digital and sustainable industrial transformation projects.
Core business
Goodtech's core business revolves around delivering complex, turn-key industrial projects where automation, control, and digitalisation are critical factors for success. Goodtech’s Project Business model is structured to provide comprehensive support across the entire project lifecycle, ensuring technical excellence and minimising risk from the earliest concept phase through to final commissioning and handover. The year 2025 has been marked by strong project execution and significant new contract wins, reinforcing Goodtech’s position as a leader in digital industrial transformation across the Nordics and beyond. The momentum generated by a robust order backlog entering 2025, has driven execution across several high-profile transformation initiatives in critical industrial segments:
- Wacker Holla Transformation Project: On this major transformation project, Goodtech has delivered complex automation and control solutions necessary for modernising and optimising production processes at the facility.
- Equinor’s Empire Wind Project (US): Goodtech continued to contribute to Equinor's global offshore wind ambitions, providing specialised digital and control system support for the operational readiness of the Empire Wind development.
- Strategic Advisory and Implementation: Goodtech executed major transformation projects throughout the year for long-standing clients including Aker Solutions, Vesterålen Marine Olje, and the battery materials company Vianode, primarily focusing on enabling efficient digital production systems and enhanced operational control.
Our order intake has been boosted by strategic agreements that secure long-term involvement in the energy transition and critical infrastructure:
- Equinor Offshore Wind Contract (Bałtyk 2 & 3): Goodtech was in October awarded a contract valued at approximately 45 MNOK to deliver the Central Control Room solution for Equinor’s Bałtyk 2 & 3 offshore wind farms in the Baltic Sea. This contract encompasses the delivery of a common SCADA system for monitoring, situational awareness, telecommunications equipment, and complete control room outfitting.
- BioMar Production Upgrade (Denmark): Goodtech secured in June a new project to deliver a digital system upgrade for fish feed producer BioMar in Brande, Denmark. The scope includes delivering advanced SCADA, PLC, and MES solutions based on BioMar's global template, enhancing production efficiency and providing essential infrastructure for advanced data handling. The project is expected to be completed by April 2026.
After-sales and Service
Goodtech has intensified its strategic focus on the after-sales and service offering, recognising that continuous support throughout the operational lifecycle is paramount to maximising client value and achieving sustainable profitability. This focus represents a fundamental shift towards becoming a complete lifecycle partner, rather than solely a project contractor. The Group service offerings are meticulously designed to safeguard clients' operational technology (OT) assets and infrastructure, guaranteeing uptime and performance:
- 24/7 On-Call Support: Goodtech provide rapid response through tiered service agreements, featuring dedicated 24/7 first- and second-line on-call support teams capable of diagnosing and resolving critical operational issues swiftly.
- Managed Services for OT: This includes the comprehensive management of critical OT infrastructure and networks, ensuring systems are secure, updated, and performing optimally.•License and Software Administration: Goodtech manage complex industrial software licenses and upgrades, simplifying compliance and ensuring customers always have access to the latest, most secure versions of their operational tools.
•Predictive Maintenance: Leveraging industrial data and digital solutions, our services increasingly move beyond reactive support to offer predictive maintenance programs that reduce unplanned downtime and optimise asset longevity. A prime example of the success of Goodtech’s reinforced service strategy is the new multi-year framework agreement secured with Hafslund Celsio in 2025. As a key player in district heating, Hafslund Celsio requires reliable operational technology support. This agreement focuses specifically on the delivery of IT consulting services and technical equipment in their operational technology environments. With an estimated minimum value of 32 MNOK over four years, this long-term contract highlights Goodtech's strategic role in ensuring reliable and sustainable utility operations well beyond the initial project delivery phase. Goodtech were also awarded a vital 24/7 service and maintenance agreement with the Agency for Waste Management and Recycling (REG) in Oslo Municipality. The contract, which has a potential duration of up to five years, is estimated to be valued up to 10–15 MNOK annually. The scope covers essential automation services for key facilities, including the sorting and incineration plant at Haraldrud, the sorting facility at Klemetsrud, and the biogas plant at Romerike, emphasising our role in maintaining critical public infrastructure uptime.
Products and Scalable Solutions
Alongside the Group’s project and service business, Goodtech maintains a strong portfolio of proprietary products and standardised solutions. Goodtech focuses on high-value, scalable technologies that solve specific industry challenges—from efficient bulk material handling to hygienic liquid food production. The Group continues to be a preferred supplier of fully automated packaging and handling high-value bulk goods through the renowned Portabulk® technology and FAB (Fully-Automated Bagger) solutions. Goodtech sell packaging to clients both in Japan and Chile, while Goodtechs FAB has been standardised and streamlined for future sales worldwide. Goodtech’s packaging machines are known for stable, flexible performance, designed with compact footprints and gentle product handling. They automatically pack consumer goods into boxes and onto pallets, creating a complete end‑of‑line solution used across multiple food industry segments worldwide. The machines are built for easy changeovers and customisation, making them suitable for most food and beverage factories. Throughout 2025, Goodtech has invested in further standardising the platform, reducing the need for individual tailoring and enabling faster delivery, higher reliability and better economies of scale.
Goodtech is at the forefront of integrating advanced sensing with robotic execution. Goodtech’s offering in Robot Vision 13 allows for high-speed, high-precision handling in complex environments where traditional automation falls short. The Group deliver advanced sorting lines and quality control systems that utilise machine vision to identify, orient, and inspect products in real-time. This is particularly critical in the aquaculture and fish processing industries for high-speed sorting and grading.
Furthermore, Goodtech has incorporated one of the Nordic's leading automation environments for hygienic production. A central component of this offering is the proprietary LT Line control system. Currently installed in over 25 industrial plants producing liquid food products in Norway, the system strictly complies with hygiene regulations and optimisation requirements.
Digitalisation and Technology Development
Goodtech continued its strategic investment in innovation and technology development throughout 2025, reinforcing the position at the forefront of industrial digitalisation. R&D efforts have throughout the year shifted to concentrate on high-impact operational efficiency tools. In 2025, Goodtech decided to further develop the cutting-edge AI Production Planner. This production planner is based on previously developed proprietary AI production planners from customer projects, where Goodtech seeks to standardise and create a simple-to-use interface for use across a wide range of clients and industries. This new tool leverage artificial intelligence to optimise production scheduling and resource allocation. Another notable initiative launched is the Automated Welding Optimiser. This solution is designed to enhance precision and efficiency in industrial welding processes, reduce waste, and ensure higher quality standards through automated parameter adjustments.
Sustainable Value Creation
The Group’s strategy is to be a driving force in the transition to a low‑emission society. Goodtech aims to be a responsible social actor and employer, delivering the highest possible return over time within sustainable frameworks. The Board is focused on social sustainability and sets high ethical standards for employees and suppliers throughout the value chain. Goodtech’s core deliveries—industrial automation, digitalisation and electrification—enable customers to reduce emissions, improve energy efficiency and strengthen resilience in critical infrastructure. The Board emphasises responsible business conduct, safe and inclusive workplaces and robust governance. Expectations are anchored in the Group policies and the Code of Conduct, including whistleblowing procedures and human rights due diligence in line with the Norwegian Transparency Act. The Board works systematically with competence development, leadership and the focus on Health, Safety and Environment, and do continuously prioritise policies, controls and training to strengthen information security and privacy. Climate and sustainability risks and opportunities are assessed as part of strategy and project execution, and the Group continues to develop solutions that help customers decarbonise while creating long term value for shareholders, employees and society. As a technology driven company that primarily delivers manpower-based services, Goodtech has a limited direct impact on the external environment. For more information, see the Sustainability chapter in this Annual Report.

Group Financials
Statement of income
The Group’s total revenue from continuing operations for 2025 ended at 724.0 MNOK, compared to 716.6 MNOK in 2024. On an underlying basis, net operating revenue after external project costs from continuing operations rose 11% to 522.1 MNOK (469.6 MNOK), while EBITDA increased to 67.3 MNOK with a 12.9% margin on net operating revenue after external project costs (44.0 MNOK, 9.4%). EBIT for the year from continuing operations rose sharply to 36.6 MNOK, representing a 7.0% margin on net operating revenue after external project costs (18.8 MNOK, 4.0%). The growth in EBIT for continuing operations was largely attributed to well managed and executed larger projects, coupled with a clear priority of margin expansion over topline growth in 2025. The company has focused on streamlining internal processes, standardisation, service & after-sales 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.
Order backlog remains strong, ending at 336 MNOK, compared to 359 MNOK at the end of 2024 (-6.4%). The 2025 backlog consists of a balanced mix of long-term projects such as the Bałtyk project for Equinor, maintenance agreements with customers and annual frame agreements with major clients such as Equinor, Ineos, and Nexans, in addition to a range of smaller ongoing projects.
The Goodtech Group reported earnings after tax of 18.9 MNOK in 2025, compared to -25.3 MNOK in 2024. Earnings after tax from continuing operations ended at 29.8 MNOK (16.4 MNOK), while earnings after tax from discontinued operations were -10.9 MNOK (-41.7 MNOK). Basic earnings per share from continuing operations amounted to NOK 1.03 in 2025 (NOK 0.57) and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations amounted to NOK 1.02 (NOK 0.56).
Discontinued operations
During 2025, Goodtech completed the divestment of Goodtech Solutions AB.Discontinued operations for 2025 comprise losses related to Goodtech Solutions AB and Axges AB (former Goodtech Environmental Solutions AB), including drawdowns on legacy bank guarantees. For further information on discontinued operations, please refer to “Note 32 – Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations”.
Consolidated Financial Position
The Group’s balance sheet as of 31 December 2025 is considered solid and well capitalised. Non-current assets increased to 267.9 MNOK in 2025, from 259.8 MNOK at the end of 2024. The development was primarily driven by a rise in right-of-use assets. Current assets increased from 237.7 MNOK in 2024 to 242.6 MNOK in 2025. The increase was mainly attributable to higher contract assets and higher cash and cash equivalents at year end, partly offset by reduced accounts receivable. As a result of the divestment and exit of discontinued operations during the year, total assets decreased to 510.4 MNOK (528.2 MNOK). Long term liabilities increased during 2025 due to higher non-current lease liabilities, consistent with the development in right-of-use assets. Current liabilities decreased from 199.4 MNOK in 2024 to 187.9 MNOK in 2025. The decline was driven by lower accounts payable and the full repayment of interest-bearing debt during 2025. The Group had no interest-bearing debt as of 31 December 2025. As a result of the divestment and exit of discontinued operations during the year, total liabilities decreased to 233.5 MNOK (265.4 MNOK). Total equity increased from 262.8 MNOK in 2024 to 277.0 MNOK in 2025, reflecting the positive development in total comprehensive income and supporting the Group’s continued strengthening of its financial position, with an Equity ratio of 54%.
16 Financial Flexibility and Cash Flow
Since 2021, Goodtech has been on a journey to reposition itself. Following the divestment of non-core discontinued operations, including wastewater operations in Åland and the assembly line business in Sweden in February 2025, the Group is now well-positioned within its core- automation, robotisation, and digitalisation. These changes further improve Goodtech’s ability to capitalise on its core competencies, ensuring that invested capital delivers higher strategic and financial returns. Goodtech actively manages liquidity risk, with a strong focus on effective liquidity management and cash flow optimisation in projects. The company is continuously improving its 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. The Group maintained a solid cash position throughout 2025, ending the year with 127.0 MNOK in cash and cash equivalents as of 31 December. In addition to cash, Goodtech has a multi-currency global cash pool credit facility of 55 MNOK at Nordea and an optionality to access further 25 MNOK in seasonal project credit. Key cash flow developments for the year are summarised below:
- Cash flow from operating activities amounted to 83.1 MNOK in 2025 (–11.0 MNOK). The improvement reflects the positive financial performance for the year, combined with a lower level of working capital compared to 2024.
- Cash flow from investing activities was –28.2 MNOK in 2025 (14.2 MNOK). The decline was primarily driven by the sale and subsequent insolvency of the former subsidiary Goodtech Solutions AB, including effects related to bank guarantees and cash balances in connection with the divestment. In 2024, investment cash flow was positively impacted by the sale of the Group’s office and workshop property at Åland for 1.8 MEUR.
- Cash flow from financing activities totalled –38.7 MNOK in 2025 (2.2 MNOK). The change compared with the prior year reflects that the Group held a negative overdraft position in 2024, which was fully repaid during 2025.
Goodtech ASA
Goodtech ASA is the parent company of the group and functions solely as a holding entity. The company reported earnings after tax of 8.0 MNOK in 2025, compared to a loss of 31.7 MNOK in 2024. Group contributions received and recognised as financial income amounted to MNOK 41.1 in 2025 and MNOK 28.0 in 2024. The negative result in 2024 was driven by impairments related to discontinued operations.
Risk Factors and Risk Management
Goodtech is exposed to a range of inherent risks typical for a technology and project-driven industrial group, including strategic, market, operational, technological and financial risks. Effective risk management is deemed essential by the Board for ensuring systematic governance, internal compliance and long-term value creation for all stakeholders, including shareholders and employees. Processes for risk management and internal control are described in more detail in the statement on corporate governance, in section “Risk Management and Internal Controls.
A significant portion of Goodtech’s revenue is generated from executing individual projects, which vary substantially in complexity, size, duration and risk profile. The Group’s project related risk primarily relates to project execution risk and estimation uncertainty. Robust internal procedure during the bidding stage and professional, systematic risk management throughout project execution support early identification of deviations and necessary corrective actions. The Group is also dependent on maintaining strong technical competence to meet customer requirements, and this is safeguarded through targeted process improvements and continuous competence development. Increasing digitalisation and use of AI offer efficiency gains, but also introduce risks related to cybersecurity, regulatory changes and data quality, which are mitigated through established governance and compliance frameworks.
17
The Group is exposed to geopolitical and macroeconomic risks stemming from heightened global instability, including the ongoing military operations and tensions in the world, as well as broader geopolitical uncertainty. Such developments, as well as change in customs regulation and trade policies, may affect market conditions, supply chain reliability, investment activity and operational predictability. Macroeconomic factors — including interest rates, inflation, and currency fluctuations — are continuously assessed for their potential impact on the Group’s value chain and asset valuations. The Group may also be exposed to regulatory and political risks, such as changes in public sector priorities, evolving environmental requirements, and legislation affecting the use of contracted labour. Increasing demands for climate adaptation and emissions reduction are addressed through an integrated sustainability strategy that guides procurement, project execution, and commercial activities.
Goodtech is further exposed to currency fluctuation risk due to operations in several countries and contracts denominated in NOK, SEK, EUR, and USD. Exchange rate movements may affect project profitability, and this risk is mitigated through currency matching, the use of a multi-currency Group account system and when necessary, financial hedging instruments. Counterparty and credit risk is considered moderate, as the Group serves a broad portfolio of established industrial clients and public institutions, supported by clear credit assessment procedures and historically low losses on receivables. Liquidity risk is addressed through continuous monitoring, a solid capital structure and efficient use of the Group’s multi-currency account system, with excess liquidity primarily held in NOK and overdraft facilities diversified across key currencies.
Overall, the Group operates in a risk environment characterised by geopolitical instability, macroeconomic uncertainty, regulatory developments, and increasing sustainability requirements. Through established governance processes, systematic project reviews, strong financial discipline and a clear focus on competence and technology, the Group maintains a robust platform for managing these risks. While external conditions may influence demand patterns and operational predictability, the Group’s diversified customer base, structured risk management framework and long-term strategic initiatives, support its ability to deliver stable operations and sustainable value creation.

Outlook
Goodtech is entering 2026 with a clear strategic mandate: to translate our robust market position and technological leadership into sustained, long-term profitability. While 2025 was characterised by important contract wins and organisational maturation, the focus for the coming year is on operational excellence, high-value project execution, and the continued expansion of the Group’s recurring revenue streams. A key priority for 2026 is to further strengthen the Group’s profitability.
Goodtech has done significant transformation projects for large industrial operations over the last few years and will continue to look for such opportunities to utilise the market's increasing demand for large-scale, complex industrial transformations. Goodtech has made the necessary organisational adjustments to handle large-scale projects with significant complexity. These projects involve large components and multi-disciplinary engineering.
The strategic pivot toward being a lifecycle partner remains a cornerstone of Goodtech’s growth strategy. Throughout 2026, the Group will continue to prioritise the after-sales and service offering, leveraging our Group-wide service model to secure long-term, high-margin service agreements. Goodtech’s success in 2025 with major public and private utility providers, serves as a blueprint for scaling these managed services across the Group’s entire client base.
Goodtech remains well-positioned in its core markets, including the food and pharma industry, energy, defence and manufacturing. The societal shift toward sustainable investments and the green transition—specifically within offshore wind, battery production, and carbon-efficient manufacturing—continues to create a favourable tailwind for our services. The Group’s expertise in industrial digitalisation makes Goodtech an essential partner for companies seeking to meet increasingly stringent environmental and efficiency requirements.
The Board emphasises that all future outlook assessments inherently involve uncertainty, and the indications provided in this report are based on the information and assumptions available at the time of signing. 19 With a refined organisational structure and a clear focus on profitable growth, Goodtech is well-equipped to deliver value to its shareholders and partners throughout 2026 and beyond – and the Board confirms that the annual financial statements have been prepared under the assumption of continued operations (going concern).

The annual dividend is determined after an assessment of the Group’s and the Parent company’s financial situation, prospects, level of equity and based on the profit for the period of 2025. The Goodtech Group reported earnings after tax of 18.9 MNOK in 2025, compared to -25.3 MNOK in 2024. Earnings after tax from continuing operations ended at 29.8 MNOK (16.4 MNOK), while earnings after tax from discontinued operations were -10.9 MNOK (-41.7 MNOK). The Board of Directors proposes a dividend of NOK 0.50 per share for the financial year, in total 14.6 MNOK, subject to approval by the Annual General Meeting. This represents approximately 50% of net profit after tax for continuing operations, in line with the Group’s dividend policy. 20

Risk Management and Internal Controls
The Board of Directors is responsible for ensuring that the Company maintains robust internal control systems and effective risk management frameworks. On an annual basis, the Board conducts a comprehensive review of the Group’s key risk areas and the adequacy of its internal controls. To ensure these systems remain effective, the Board and management engage in an ongoing dialogue to refine control activities, ensuring they evolve in line with the Group’s risk profile and operational complexity.
Risk management is a fundamental component of Goodtech’s leadership and operational culture. The Group’s organisational structure is designed with a clear focus on project execution, risk mitigation and standardised processes. To support this, Goodtech has a management system for the systematic reporting and follow-up of deviations, non-conformities, and improvement suggestions. By integrating these processes into a shared digital platform, the Group ensures transparency, data-driven decision-making, and a culture of continuous improvement across all business units.
Risk analysis is mandatory for all bidding processes. By identifying potential risk elements at the tender stage, the Group enhances its ability to mitigate exposure and ensure accurate pricing. These initial analyses form the baseline for continuous risk monitoring and control throughout the project lifecycle. Sales and bidding activities are overseen by the Group Sales Manager, while project execution is monitored by the Group’s COO. All major commitments are subject to approval in accordance with the Company’s established authorisation matrix.
Goodtech’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The Group’s financial reporting process is governed by internal directives that mandate strict routines for monthly, quarterly, and annual reporting. Financial data is consolidated through a common reporting system using a unified Group Chart of Accounts. The Group’s accounting department employs a combination of automated system controls and manual reviews to ensure the integrity, completeness, and consistency of financial information. These systems are specifically designed to identify and mitigate the risk of material misstatement in the Group’s accounts.
Internal control is rooted in the Group’s core values and ethical guidelines. Goodtech is committed to sustainable value creation, ensuring that business operations align with environmental and resource requirements. The Board and management view sustainability as an integral part of the Group’s strategy. To maintain our high ethical standards, Goodtech has established a dedicated internal whistleblowing channel. This channel allows employees to report concerns regarding potential breaches of the Group’s code of conduct or legal requirements safely and, if desired, anonymously. All reports are treated with strict confidentiality and are handled according to established protocols.
Remuneration to the Board
The remuneration of the Board members is determined by the General Meeting each year. The Nomination Committee proposes Board remuneration, which reflect the Board’s responsibilities, competence, time commitment, and the complexity of the business. Board remuneration is not performance-based. For the year 2025, Board members could elect to have part-payment of the nominal yearly fee in shares in the Company. Fees for Board members performing special tasks in addition to their Board role must be submitted to the Board for approval. Information on Board remuneration is detailed in “Note 15 – Benefits to the Board, Management, etc.” of the financial statements and in the Company’s 2025 Remuneration Report for Leading Personnel.

The guidelines should be clear and understandable, supporting the Company’s business strategy, long-term interests, and financial sustainability.
Goodtech established bonus programs for senior executives in 2019 and expanded these to include all employees in 2020. A cap is set on such performance-based compensation. In 2022, the Group introduced an RSU (Restricted Stock Unit) program for senior executives, which has been further revised in 2025. The program is further described in “Note 33 – Share-Based Compensation”. Both the guidelines and the statement are reviewed at the ordinary General Meeting.

- Value Chain Integrity: Goodtech is committed to achieving carbon neutrality within our own value chain. Goodtech collaborates closely with suppliers to drive decarbonisation and apply selective criteria to ensure alignment with our environmental standards.
Strategic sustainability initiatives are coordinated through internal networks and workshops involving multiple departments. This collaborative framework ensures that our ESG goals are reflected in procurement, project execution, and the final solutions delivered to our customers. Goodtech monitors and reports on sustainability performance through established KPIs aligned with international standards and frameworks. The company drives continuous improvement through regular internal assessments and active stakeholder engagement. Annual sustainability reporting is based on defined material topics and the Voluntary Small and Medium sized Enterprises reporting standard (VSME) as reference.
Quality and Environmental 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. During 2025, Goodtech has renewed its ISO 9001 and 14001 certifications. In addition, an Ethical Employment Audit was performed by Achilles to verify our degree of compliance within social sustainability topics. The audit confirmed high levels of compliance, with only one minor non-conformance identified regarding the formalisation of our salary gap assessment—a finding being addressed through enhanced reporting and analysis.
The role of Administrative Management
Sustainability is an integral part of Goodtech’s governance model. The Board of Directors oversees sustainability matters during its annual review of group strategy, business plans, budgets and risk management policies. To ensure specialised oversight, the Board has established an Audit and Sustainability Committee, which evaluates material impacts, risks, and opportunities in detail. Additionally, the Remuneration Committee advises the Board on performance criteria, ensuring that environmental, social, and governance (ESG) targets are integrated into executive compensation.
Led by the CEO, the Group Executive Team manages specific functional areas based on their professional expertise. Goodtech’s governance framework adheres to the Norwegian Code of Practice for Corporate Governance, with the full Corporate Governance report integrated into the Board of Directors' annual report. While the Group Executive Team sets strategic goals and monitors performance, line management is responsible for daily operations, ensuring alignment with corporate responsibilities. These operations are supported by comprehensive training programs and the Goodtech Management System, which documents internal processes and enforces a "dual control" principle for all approvals. To maintain accountability, Goodtech conducts annual performance appraisals. These reviews align individual responsibilities with professional skills and development needs. Notably, sustainability is a core performance criterion for all managers, ensuring their contributions to ESG goals are measured and incentivised.
37 Double Materiality Assessment
While recent EU regulatory simplifications—specifically the Omnibus package—adjusted the mandatory reporting thresholds under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), Goodtech elected to proceed with the process of establishing a double materiality assessment according to EFRAG (European Financial Reporting Advisory Group) guidelines. The assessment was finalised and published in Q1 2025. The double materiality assessment provides insight and determines material topics within ESG for Goodtech to further report and focus on. The process of conducting the assessment consisted of a four-step approach:
- Value Chain and Internal Activity Mapping
- Identification of Impacts, Risks, and Opportunities (IROs)
- Evaluation and Materiality Determination
- Determination of Material Topics and Thresholds
Value Chain and Internal Activity Mapping
The analysis began with a detailed mapping of Goodtech’s value chain to identify areas where the Group has significant impacts, risks, or opportunities (IROs). We performed evaluation of our activities across three scopes: upstream (supply chain), own operations, and downstream (customer use and end-of-life). The mapping specifically focused on the following operational segments:
- Sales and Marketing
- Customer Project Execution
- After-sales and services
- Internal Operations and Procurement
- Business Travel and Logistics
Parallel to this mapping, a comprehensive Stakeholder Analysis was conducted to identify the groups most affected by our operations and those whose decisions influence Goodtech’s strategic direction.
Identification of Impacts, Risks, and Opportunities (IROs)
Following the mapping phase, Goodtech identified potential and actual impacts, as well as financial risks and opportunities, across all ESRS topical standards. The identification process was evidence-based and included:
- Documentation Review: Analysis of existing environmental aspect registries and risk assessments.
- Expert Consultation: In-depth interviews with functional process owners and subject matter experts.
- Strategic Workshops: Collaborative sessions with Group Management to ensure a top-down perspective on strategic ESG risks and opportunities.
- Concluding Workshop with Board of Directors: Review and final determination of threshold values for material topics and the resulting material ESG topics.
Evaluation and Materiality Determination
The identified IROs were evaluated using a combination of qualitative and quantitative criteria. The input to this evaluation included:
- Internal Data: Existing risk frameworks and internal performance documentation.
- External Benchmarking: Analysis of peer companies and industry best practices to ensure alignment with market expectations.
- Scientific and Technical Context: Application of sustainability theory and ESRS-defined thresholds to assess the scale, scope, and irremediability of impacts.
This structured approach ensures that Goodtech’s sustainability reporting is both transparent and addresses the issues that drive long-term value creation and corporate responsibility.
Determination of Material Topics and Thresholds
38
In the final phase of the assessment, Goodtech established specific thresholds to determine which sustainability matters reached the level of double materiality. Materiality was assessed by calculating a combined score derived from Impact Materiality (the Group’s impact on the environment and society) and Financial Materiality (the impact of sustainability matters on the Group’s financial position and performance). Goodtech applied a scoring scale where any topic achieving a combined value of 6 or higher (on a scale from 0-10) was classified as material.This threshold ensures that Goodtech focuses its reporting and strategic efforts on the areas where the potential for value creation—or the risk of negative impact—is most significant. Based on this rigorous evaluation, the following topics have been identified as material for Goodtech:
* E1: Climate Change – Focusing on our carbon footprint and the energy transition.
* E5: Resource Use and Circular Economy – Centred on resource efficiency and our partnership with Revac for hardware circularity.
* S1: Own Workforce – Prioritising the health, safety, and professional development of our employees.
* G1: Business Conduct – Ensuring the highest standards of ethics, transparency, and corporate governance.
Comprehensive summary pages for each material topic, including detailed descriptions of the identified impacts, risks, and opportunities, are available in our full Double Materiality Assessment Report at https://goodtech.no/about-us/sustainability.

40 Reporting Framework - Voluntary Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (VSME) Reporting Standard
Ever since the introduction of the Omnibus simplification of EU requirements for sustainability reporting in February 2025, Goodtech has decided to proceed with preparations for reporting with reference to the EU voluntary standard for reporting (VSME). Effective as of July 30, 2025, the VSME recommendations were applied using our performed Double Materiality Assessment as the foundation for disclosure. This report references both the Basic and Comprehensive modules of the VSME standard to ensure a transparent and thorough account of our material impacts, risks, and opportunities.
Environment
Climate Change
Goodtech’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions profile is primarily concentrated in the upstream value chain, specifically regarding process emissions from the production of goods and direct emissions from transport logistics. Emissions from own operations are largely linked to:
* Scope 1 (Direct Emissions): Primarily driven by the Group’s vehicle fleet. Goodtech supports direct emissions reduction by incentivising public transport use for its employees and maintains a limited number of office parking.
* Scope 2 (Indirect Emissions): Emissions from energy consumption (electricity and district heating) across Goodtech’s locations are reported as zero-emission as consumption is based on green energy (renewable electricity). The company minimises energy use by optimising data storage and server processing efficiencies.
* Scope 3 (Other Indirect Emissions): Focuses on keeping business travel—predominantly air travel—to a minimum, encouraging use of Teams and addresses the carbon footprint of the company’s procurement activities.
Resource Use and Circular Economy
Global overconsumption of resources is a primary driver of environmental risk. For Goodtech, the extraction of metals and minerals represents a significant supply chain consideration, particularly regarding the raw materials and packaging associated with our project deliveries. However, Goodtech’s greatest strategic advantage lies in its positive environmental footprint. While the company works to mitigate the downside of material use, our core business provides a substantial upside to society. Goodtech delivers automation and industrial solutions specifically designed to:
* Maximise Resource Utilisation: Extending the lifecycle of industrial assets.
* Minimise Input Requirements: Reducing the volume of raw materials and energy needed for production.
* Promote Circularity: Integrating hardware reuse and sustainable waste management into customer value chains.
41 Relevant VSME data for Environment
Energy Consumption
As Goodtech operates from leased premises rather than owned locations, the company collaborates closely with property managers to monitor and report energy consumption. Our 2025 reporting represents a significant milestone in data transparency: we achieved 100% data coverage across all Norwegian office locations, compared to 50% in 2024. While the total reported energy figures show a slight year-on-year increase, this is primarily attributed to this expanded reporting scope rather than an increase in energy intensity.
| 2024 | 2025 | |
|---|---|---|
| Total Energy Consumption | 640 | 840 |
Figures in the above table are based on available input from landlords for 4 out of 8 locations in 2024 and 8 of 8 locations in 2025. Referenced to VSME 29 and 18-25
Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Goodtech’s carbon footprint reporting for 2025 is primarily focused on direct emissions from our mobile combustion sources. Emissions are calculated based on the total distance driven and fuel consumption of company-owned vehicles. While electric vehicles (EVs) within our fleet were mapped, their tailpipe emissions are recorded as zero. Goodtech’s Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions remained stable between 2024 and 2025, representing a notable achievement in operational efficiency. Despite expanding our reporting scope to include two additional fossil-fuelled vehicles in 2025, our total direct emissions did not increase year-on-year. Looking ahead to 2026, Goodtech remains committed to its fleet transition strategy, with a continued focus on prioritising electric-powered vehicles for all day-to-day internal transportation and service requirements.
| Estimated Greenhouse Gas Emissions considering the GHG Protocol Version 2004 (in tCO2e) | 2024 | 2025 |

Water Withdrawal
Goodtech’s water usage is exclusively limited to sanitary and domestic purposes within our leased office facilities. There are no production-related processes or industrial activities within the Group’s operations that require water withdrawal. Data for water consumption is collected through coordination with our landlords at each respective location. Given our business model as a technology and solutions provider, our impact on water resources is considered non-material; however, Goodtech remains committed to responsible consumption within our office environments. The reported increase in total water withdrawal between 2024 and 2025 is primarily a function of our improved data collection processes. For the 2025 reporting cycle, we achieved significantly higher data coverage, with a greater number of leased locations providing primary consumption figures compared to 2024 (see note under table).
| Water Withdrawal | 2024 | 2025 |

Waste Management
Goodtech is committed to responsible waste management across all operations. Our waste reporting is divided into two primary categories:
* Operational Facility Waste: Data regarding general waste fractions is collected for each location through our landlords, who manage the primary contracts with waste management services. This ensures that all office-related waste is handled according to local regulations.
* Electronic and Electrical Waste (E-waste): As a technology driven group, the sustainable handling of electronic equipment is a priority. Goodtech maintains a dedicated agreement with RENAS, Norway's leading EE-recycling scheme. This ensures that all electronic waste is handled through a certified circular system, focused on high recovery rates and the safe treatment of hazardous materials. While the e-waste handled via RENAS is managed separately from the general waste statistics provided by our landlords, it represents a critical component of our commitment to Resource Use and Circular Economy.

Health and Safety
Goodtech has established an HSE policy and objectives that reflect the company’s core values. The company’s objectives and existential criteria are an integrated part of the company's management system and are available to all employees. At Goodtech, we are proud to work in compliance with a zero vision for injuries and accidents. At Goodtech, preventive measures are actively pursued at all levels, working proactively to prevent incidents through the systematic establishment of routines, ensured compliance, and continuous improvement in line with defined requirements and development goals.

EU Reference Benchmarks
For the 2024 and 2025 reporting periods, Goodtech confirms that its activities do not fall under the exclusion criteria defined by the EU Paris-aligned Benchmarks. We derived no revenue from the exploration, extraction, or refining of coal, lignite, or oil fuels, nor from gaseous fuels exceeding regulatory thresholds. Additionally, our electricity generation activities did not exceed the GHG intensity limit of 100 g $\text{CO}_2\text{e/kWh}$. As such, the undertaking remained compliant with all Paris-aligned benchmark requirements and was not excluded from any related EU reference benchmarks.
| Exclusion from EU reference benchmarks | 2024 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Undertakings are excluded from the EU Paris-aligned Benchmarks if they derive: | ||
| 1% or more of their revenues from exploration mining extraction distribution or refining of hard coal and lignite | - | - |

57 Note 1 - Accounting Policies
Goodtech ASA is a public limited liability company registered and domiciled in Norway, with its head office located at Innspurten 15, 0663 Oslo, Norway. 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 724 MNOK. The Group is strategically located at 11 of the most important sites for industrial activity in Norway and has also a presence in Sweden, through Goodtech AB, which was established in 2025. The accounts were approved for publication by the board on March 20, 2026.
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. The financial statements are primarily based on a historical cost principle, with the exception of certain financial assets and liabilities (including derivatives) which are measured at fair value. The financial statements are presented in Norwegian kroner (NOK), rounded to the nearest million, unless otherwise stated. As a result of rounding, it may occur that the numbers in one or more lines or columns in the consolidated financial statements do not sum to the total in the line or column.
Consolidation Principles
The consolidated financial statements include Goodtech ASA and companies over which Goodtech ASA has control, as further mentioned in “Note 25 – Group Companies”. 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 time control arises and deconsolidated when control ceases. Upon deconsolidation, gains or losses are recognized in the income statement. Any remaining investment is measured at fair value at the date of deconsolidation. Transactions that do not result in loss of control are treated as equity transactions. 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. 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.
Functional Currency and Presentation Currency
Goodtech’s consolidated financial statements are presented in Norwegian kroner (NOK), which is the functional currency and the presentation currency of the parent company. 58
Subsidiaries and associated companies that have a different functional currency than NOK are translated into NOK for consolidation purposes. Assets and liabilities are translated based on the exchange rate at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated based on the monthly average exchange rate. Translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income and specified separately in equity. Upon the sale of foreign subsidiaries and associated companies, accumulated translation differences related to the entity are reclassified through profit or loss and included as part of the gain or loss. An overview of the Group’s key exchange rates can be found in “Note 26 - Financial risk and Financial Instruments”.
Accounting Principles
There are no significant changes in IFRS standards that affect the consolidated financial statements in 2025.
Adopted and amended standards that have not come into effect
IFRS 18
IFRS 18 “Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements” is the new standard for the presentation of financial statements and will be effective from January 1, 2027. The standard aims to increase comparability between companies and improve communication in financial statement The new standard includes the introduction of new categories and subtotals in the income statement, introduces the concept of management-defined performance measures, and provides more specific requirements for grouping and specifying information. Goodtech is assessing the impact of IFRS 18, with particular focus on the structure of the income statement and the statement of cash flows, including the classification and grouping of items such as currency gains and losses. As part of this work, the Group has prepared the necessary classifications and account structures in line with the requirements of IFRS 18. Goodtech is also evaluating whether certain existing subtotals and presentation policies should be revised in connection with the implementation of the new standard. IFRS 18 will be implemented in the condensed financial statements from January 1, 2027.
When preparing the annual financial statements for 2025, there are no other changes in standards, interpretations of standards, or issued but not yet effective standards that are expected to significantly affect the Group’s financial statements.
Estimation Uncertainty and Significant Judgments
The preparation of the Group’s annual financial statements involves management using estimates and assumptions that affect revenues, costs, assets, and liabilities, as well as related disclosures. Estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors considered reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Most balance sheet items will be affected to some extent by estimation uncertainty. 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 operates with project contracts, changes in scope may arise from the bidding phase through to handover. The estimates applied in the financial statements follow uniform principles across the Group and are subject to control procedures both locally and at the Group level to ensure appropriate measurement of project results and progress. Nevertheless, the complexity and scope of the projects mean that they inherently involve estimation risk, despite the Group's focus on accurate measurement. Estimation uncertainty primarily relates to the assessment of remaining hours and/or costs in ongoing projects, which may influence the Group's evaluation of the projects progress. These judgments can therefore affect the timing of result recognition 59 from period to period. Estimates are based on historical data from comparable projects and the project organization's own assessment of the project's status. Forecasts of remaining hours and/or costs are updated at least monthly and are subject to monthly management reviews both locally and at the Group level. The accounting treatment of construction contracts is further described in “Note 4 – Revenue from Contracts with Costumers”.
The Group's carrying amount of goodwill
Impairment assessments are performed annually, or whenever there are indications that an asset may be impaired. Indicators that may trigger an impairment review 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, projections of future results, assessments of the asset's income-generating capacity, and assumptions about future market conditions and expected synergies. Changes in circumstances and in management's assumptions may result to impairments. The assessment of carrying amount of goodwill and other intangible assets is further discussed in “Note 14 – Intangible Assets”.
Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations
The Group applies judgment when assessing whether the criteria for classification as held for sale and for presentation as discontinued operations are met. Groups of assets and liabilities classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Judgment is applied in assessing fair value. Further information is provided in “Note 32 – Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations”. 60
Note 2 - Changes in the Group’s Structure
Goodtech Solutions AB Divestment
On 10 February 2025, Goodtech divested its subsidiary Goodtech Solutions AB to Lazarus Industriförvaltning AB. For details on discontinued operations, see ““Note 32 – Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations”.
Goodtech AB Establishment
Goodtech AB was established on 27 January 2025 and became a wholly owned subsidiary of Goodtech ASA from 30 January 2025. As part of the divestment of Goodtech Solutions AB to Lazarus Industriförvaltning AB, a portion of the employees were transferred to Goodtech AB. The establishment was carried out to retain key strategic initiatives and maintain the Group’s operational presence and position within the Nordic region
Axges AB (earlier Goodtech Environment Solutions AB) Insolvency
On 31 March 2025, Axges AB (earlier Goodtech Environment Solutions AB) was registered as insolvent. For details on discontinued operations, see “Note 32 – Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations”.
Note 3 - Operating Segments
IFRS 8 Operating Segments requires that segment information be presented based on the internal management reporting used by the Group’s chief operating decisionmaker (CODM) when assessing performance and allocating resources. Based on the structure of the internal reporting and management’s assessment of what provides relevant and meaningful information to external users of the financial statements, the Group has concluded that it operates as one reportable operating segment. Accordingly, further disaggregation is not considered appropriate. The table below presents financial information for the “Operating Segment” and for “Other”. “Other” includes activities and costs that are not attributed to the operating segment, including the Group’s administrative expenses and other common costs that cannot be directly allocated to the operating segment. Transactions and transfers between the operating segment and the parent company are conducted on arm’s-length terms equivalent to those applied in external business relationships. In 2025, the Swedish company Goodtech AB operated solely as a service company for Goodtech AS and therefore forms part of the Group’s single operating segment. Assets reported under “Other” represent assets held by the parent company. 61

Note 4 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Accounting Policy
The Group’s main business consists of delivering projects based on specialist expertise within automation, IT, electrical, power, mechanical, andprocess engineering disciplines. In addition, the Group generate revenue from the sale of packaging and technology products to customers in Japan and Chile, as well as from licence agreements and service contracts. The product Groups presented in the table below reflect the Group's internal reporting structure and are used as the categories for disaggregation of revenue:
Fixed-price projects
Fixed-price projects consist of integrated deliveries of goods and services. Revenue is recognized 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 method applied in each project reflects the input factor that best captures the Group’s effort in progressing towards completion. These measurement methods are considered the most accurate in reflecting 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 established at contract inception.
Time-and-materials projects
Time-and-materials projects are ongoing time-based performance obligations. The services may be sold separately or bundled together with the sale of goods. The performance obligation is satisfied on an ongoing basis as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of 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 associated with the Group's PORTABULK® brand. The performance obligation is generally satisfied upon delivery of the goods, at which point invoicing also occurs. Revenue is recognized at the time of delivery, in accordance with the agreed INCOTERM terms for the specific delivery. Payment terms typically range between NET 14 and 30 days. The Group offers retrospective volume discounts to selected customers if the quantity of goods purchased exceeds a contractual predefined threshold. Discounts are offset against accounts receivable. To estimate the variable consideration related to expected future discounts, the Group applies the most likely amount method for contracts with a single volume threshold and the expected value method for contracts with multiple thresholds. The recognized liability for expected reimbursements related to retrospective volume discounts is disclosed in “Note 22 - Contractual Obligations and Repayment Obligations”.
Services and Licenses
Service revenue consists of ongoing time-based performance obligations, typically delivered after project completion in accordance with the underlying contracts. Services require both ad-hoc and recurring follow-up from the Group. The performance obligation is satisfied on an ongoing basis, as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the services provided by the Group. Payment terms typically range between NET 14 and 30 days. License revenue relates to software licenses that the Group resells to customers. As the Group acts solely as an intermediary in these arrangements, the Group does not control the underlying licenses before transfer to the customer. Revenue from licenses is therefore recognized on a net basis at the point in time when the license is transferred.
Guarantees
The Group provides warranties covering the repair of defects that existed at the time of sale, in accordance with applicable legislation in the relevant jurisdictions. Provisions are recognized and updated on an ongoing basis to reflect expected future warranty obligations of this nature. For further details, see «Note 23 – Provisions».
63 Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The Group’s business primarily consists of project execution. Invoices to customers are either invoiced based on hours incurred or based on fixed-price elements. At each period date, the Group assesses the probability that hours incurred are billable to the customer and estimates the remaining cost required to complete ongoing projects. Significant uncertainty relates to the assessment and measurement of change orders, claims, other contract modifications, and volume discounts. These areas require management judgement and involve inherent estimation risk, as changes in underlying assumptions may materially affect the timing and amount of revenue recognized and the valuation of related contract assets and liabilities.

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 Benefits to the Board, Management, etc”.
65 Note 7 - Pensions
Goodtech's pension schemes are established in accordance with local legislation and consist of defined contribution plans. A defined contribution plan is a pension arrangement where the Group pays fixed contributions to a pension provider with no further obligations once the contribution has been paid. Contributions are expensed as part of payroll costs in the period in which the employee renders the service. The Norwegian entities in the Group are subject to the Mandatory Occupational Pension Act, and the pension arrangements offered comply with the requirements of this legislation. The defined contribution plans in Norway cover all employees. 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 participate in the AFP scheme (Agreement-based Pension), a collective pension arrangement for companies in tariff-regulated sectors. The AFP scheme is jointly administered by employer organisations, trade unions, and the Norwegian state. For accounting purposes, AFP is classified as a defined benefit multi-employer plan. As the Group is not able to identify its share of the scheme’s underlying financial position and performance with sufficient reliability, the scheme is accounted for as a defined contribution plan. Consequently, no AFP-related pension obligations are recognized in the balance sheet, and premiums are expensed as incurred. The Group’s Swedish operations offer pension plans under the ITP system, including ITP1, ITPK and Alternative ITP, all of which are classified as defined contribution plans. The Group also participates in the ITP2 plan administered by Alect that do not qualify for balance sheet recognition. In accordance with Swedish regulations, the pension obligation is covered via a capital insurance and is accounted for as a defined contribution plan in the Group’s financial statements. Total pension costs for the Group's defined contribution schemes amount to 23.2 MNOK for 2025 (20.0 MNOK for 2024). These costs are included in payroll expenses in the income statement, see specification “Note 6 – Employee Benefit Expenses”.# Note 8 - Other Expenses

The Group has a Group account arrangement with Nordea (further described in “Note 19 – Cash and Cash Equivalents”) with currency top accounts in EUR, SEK, NOK, and USD, each with its own deposit and withdrawal interest rates. 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. See also “Note 26 - Financial Risk and Financial Instruments” for a more detailed description of financial risk and capital management as well as currency exchange risk. In 2025, “Other Financial income” of 0.4 MNOK related to fair value gains on FX-derivatives.

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, as well as tax losses carried forward. 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. Taxes are not offset across borders. Payable tax and deferred tax are recorded directly against equity to the extent that the tax items relate to equity transactions.
| Tax expense | Amounts in MNOK | 2025 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Change in deferred tax asset | 3.8 | 5.7 | |
| Tax expense | 3.8 | 5.7 |
Reconciliation of Tax Expense
The tax expense differs from the amount that would have been recognized if the nominal tax rate had been applied. The difference between the nominal tax rate and the effective tax rate is specified below, where the most significant components are also highlighted.
| Amounts in MNOK | 2025 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Profit before tax from continuing operations | 33.6 | 22.1 |
| Tax expense calculated at a tax rate of 22% | 7.4 | 4.9 |

| Non-deductible expenses | -3.6 | 1.6 |
| Non-recognized deferred tax asset | - | -0.7 |
| Tax expense | 3.8 | 5.7 |
There has been no change in the ordinary tax rate for companies domiciled in Norway or other countries that has affected the calculated deferred tax/tax benefit in 2025. A tax rate of 22 percent was used as the basis for calculating the value of deferred tax/tax benefit for the Group’s Norwegian companies. For the Group’s Swedish company, a tax rate of 20.6 percent was used.

Note 12 - Property, Plant, and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Assets are derecognized upon disposal, and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss. Cost includes the purchase price, non-refundable taxes/levies and directly attributable costs required to prepare the asset for its intended use. Routine maintenance is expensed as incurred, whereas expenditures that enhance the asset’s future economic benefits are capitalized. Useful lives, depreciation methods and residual values are reviewed annually. The categories in the table aggregate different components within each asset class, and the disclosed depreciation rates reflect the range of useful lives applied.

Note 13 - Right-of-Use Assets
The note shows the effect of the Group’s lease agreements on the Group’s financial position and financial earnings. Upon entering a contract, the Group assesses whether the contract is or contains a lease. 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. The Group has chosen not to capitalise leases that fall under the definition of “low-value assets” and short term leases where the non-cancellable lease period is less than or equal to twelve months. The rental costs for these agreements are expensed directly. Several of the Group’s lease agreements include additional services and components, such as common costs, fuel, and fees.Non-lease components are separated from the lease agreement and recognized as operating expenses in the consolidated financial statements 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 Group uses its incremental borrowing rate when the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined. 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 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 are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful life. The contract periods for property range from one year up to ten years for certain leased plots. Vehicle and office equipment typically have a duration of between two to five years.

Applied Practical Solutions
As a starting point, the Group determines the lease term as the non-cancellable period of lease in accordance with IFRS 16.18. Consequently, Goodtech does not recognize extension options until it is reasonably certain that such options will be exercised. Likewise, periods beyond a termination option are not included in the lease term unless it can be reasonably certain that the option will not be exercised. Extension and termination options are assessed when determining the lease term to the extent that the Group is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. In 2025, an extension option for one of the Group’s locations was exercised during the year. As of the end of 2025, Goodtech has two lease agreement with a termination option and four lease agreements with extension options for which no decision has yet been made regarding exercise. The lease agreements do not contain clauses that restrict the company’s dividend policy or financing arrangements.

Note 14 - Intangible Assets
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are recognized if probable future economic benefits attributable to the asset can be demonstrated and the acquisition cost of the asset can be reliably measured. Intangible assets are recognized at acquisition cost less any accumulated amortization and impairment. Acquisition cost also includes internal salary costs if the recognition criteria are met. Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized. Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized linearly over their expected useful lives. Amortization is carried out from the time the intangible asset is available for its intended use
Development cost
Expenses related to research activities are recognized as incurred. Development costs are capitalized when it is probable that the project will generate 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.
Goodwill
Goodwill arises from business combinations. Goodwill is recognized when the consideration exceeds the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. The identifiable assets and liabilities are measured at fair value at the acquisition date, and the excess purchase price is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill represents future economic benefits that cannot be individually identified or separately recognized.
Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
There is a need for impairment if the carrying amount of an assessment unit exceeds the recoverable amount. Impairment is recognized when the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount, defined as the higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell. Impairment assessments for goodwill are performed at the cash-generating unit level. Goodwill is allocated to the relevant cash-generating units and tested annually, and impairments of non-financial assets other than goodwill are reversed when applicable. For goodwill and intangible assets under development, an annual impairment test is carried out, regardless of whether there are indications of impairment. If there are indications of impairment during the year, goodwill and other assets with indefinite useful lives are tested when such indications exist.

Development Projects
The Group’s development projects are initiated either in response to direct customer requests or by identifying market needs that support future profitability. Of total capitalized development costs of MNOK 2.8 in 2025, MNOK 0.8 related to “LT Line”-development and MNOK 1.0 to Standardization Project for Packing Machines. Four development projects were still in progress at year-end, and no amortization was recognized for these projects in 2025. The Group continuously evaluates its development projects with regard to recoverable value, market relevance, customer needs, and internal benefits. If indicators suggest that carrying values may not be recoverable, an impairment test is performed. Based on these assessments, an impairment of MNOK 2.0 related to Manufacturing Execution System–related solutions associated with project technologies of the divested company Goodtech Solutions AB, was recorded in 2025. In addition, an impairment of MNOK 1.0 related to Wizx 2 was recognized due to the decision to adopt third-party solutions.
Goodwill
Goodtech’s cash-generating units (CGUs) are determined in accordance with IAS 36 based on the lowest level of identifiable and largely independent cash inflows. The Group’s operations in Norway consist of several regional offices that are highly integrated in terms of project execution, resource allocation, customer interaction and tender processes. Cash inflows cannot be attributed to individual regions on a standalone basis, as projects are commonly delivered using resources from multiple 74 offices and customer relationships are managed across regions. Consequently, the Norwegian operations represent the lowest level at which independent cash inflows can be identified and are therefore treated as one CGU.In 2025, the Swedish subsidiary Goodtech AB operated solely as a service provider to Goodtech AS. As the company has no independent external operations, it forms part of the Group’s single operating segment and is included in the Group’s single cash-generating unit Norway in 2025. There were no significant additions to goodwill in 2025, consistent with 2024. In 2024, goodwill related to Goodtech Solutions AB was impaired by NOK 5.1 million in connection with the sale, completed in February 2025.

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. The return requirement applied is a weighted average of the cost of equity and the cost of interest-bearing debt (WACC). The cost of equity is determined by using the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), while the cost of debt is estimated based on the long-term risk-free interest rate plus a credit margin reflecting the Group’s average long-term loan margin. The Group’s return requirement is reassessed annually to reflect significant changes in underlying market conditions and risk factors.
| Discount rate before tax | WACC |
|---|---|
| CGU Norway | 14.4 % |
Forecast
The companies in the CGU are delivering satisfactory results in 2025, with continued identifiable potential for improvement. Efforts are ongoing to enhance profitability in the units, with a particular focus on utilization, billing rates and revenue categories related to specialist engineering competencies. The calculation of future cash flows is based on management’s best estimates and incorporates a number of key assumptions, including macroeconomic and market conditions, expected developments in the relevant industries, and the cash-generating units’ ability to generate profitability based on existing contracts and the year-end order backlog. Cash flow projections for 2026 are based on the budget approved by Group Management and the Board of Directors of Goodtech ASA. Cash flows for the subsequent forecast period (2027–2030) are derived from management’s long-term estimates of market developments, expected competitive dynamics, and the cash-generating units’ ability to maintain or increase market share, profitability, and growth. Management expects continued growth in the markets in which the Group operates, driven by rising demand for automation, robotics and digitalisation in the Nordic industrial sector, supported by ongoing modernisation and Industry 4.0 trends. Revenue expectations for 2025 are supported by the order backlog at year-end and identified market opportunities. The forecast further assumes revenue growth and gradual improvements in EBITDA margins across the cash-generating unit over the forecast horizon.
75
Climate risk
No quantitative assessment of climate impact has been incorporated into the cash flow projections. A qualitative assessment has nevertheless been performed, concluding that climate-related factors are expected to have a net positive impact on the Group’s CGUs. Expected market opportunities include increased demand for process and energy optimizations, automation and digitalization solutions, as well as growth in emerging Nordic industries such as offshore wind, battery production, carbon capture and hydrogen, where Goodtech already has an established presence. The forecast also reflects planned development costs related to solutions that provide customers with improved insight into environmental documentation and the footprint of their own operations and value chains. Furthermore, Goodtech’s sustainability profile is increasingly important for attracting and retaining both talent and customers, which management considers essential for future growth. Climate impacts are not expected to adversely affect financial performance, as the Group’s offerings generally support reduced customer emissions and more efficient resource utilization—factors expected to continue driving demand throughout the forecast period.
Sensitivity Analysis
The most significant assumptions in determining the recoverable amount are the discount rate, revenue growth and EBITDA development. As part of the impairment testing, the Group assesses whether reasonably possible changes in these assumptions, consistent with external market information, could cause the carrying amount of a CGU to exceed its recoverable amount. As of 31 December 2025, Goodtech has concluded that no reasonably changes in key assumptions would result in impairment for CGU Norway, and accordingly no quantitative sensitivity analysis is presented.
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 December 2025.

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.

| Cost of goods sold for the period | 193.0 | 233.4 |
| Carrying amount of inventory pledged as collateral | 3.6 | 3.9 |
Inventory primarily includes goods for sale and materials used in the Group's project deliveries. 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.
Note 17 - Trade Receivables and Contract Assets
Trade receivables
Trade receivables represent the Group's right to compensation that is unconditional. Trade receivables are recognized at acquisition cost less impairment losses. The group uses a simplified method for provisioning expected credit losses on customer receivables and measures the loss provision at an amount equal to the expected credit losses over the lifetime. This is done through a combination of individual assessments and template-based assessments based on aging analysis and historical data. Accrued (actual) credit losses directly reduce the carrying amount of the customer receivable and are classified as other operating expenses in the income statement.
| Amounts in MNOK | 2025 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Trade receivables | 69.5 | 95.9 |

Contract assets
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.

Note 19 - Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash, bank deposits, balances in Group account arrangements, and other short-term, readily convertible investments with an original maturity of up to three months. 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.

|---|---|---|
| Cash in bank and in hand | 127.0 | 110.8 |
| Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet | 127.0 | 110.8 |
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 each currency are treated as other current liabilities. As of 31 December 2025, Goodtech had a positive Group account balance in all currencies. In addition to the cash pool, the Group maintains standalone bank accounts outside the arrangement for daily operational purposes and restricted tax withholding funds. Escrow accounts amounted to NOK 14.6 million as of 31 December 2025. Total cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet are thus distributed as follows:
| Cash pool by currency | Amount in currency | Amount in NOK |
|---|---|---|
| NOK | 98.8 | 98.8 |
| SEK | 1.3 | 1.4 |

| Total | 14.6 |
The Group has a revolving credit facility of NOK 55 million and an additional NOK 25 million seasonal credit facility. Neither of these facilities had been utilized and available liquidity, including overdraft facilities, amounted to NOK 212.0 million as of 31 December 2025. Information regarding covenants and foreign currency exposure is provided in “Note 20 – Interest-Bearing Loans and Credits” and “Note 26 – Financial Risk and Financial Instruments”.
81
Note 20 - Interest-Bearing Loans and Credits
Loans and other financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value when the loan disbursement occurs, less transaction costs. In subsequent periods, the loans are recognized at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Amortized cost is the amount at which the financial obligation is initially measured less repayments (installments, interest, and fees), including effective interest. A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation is discharged, cancelled, or expires. If an existing liability is replaced by a new liability from the same lender with substantially different terms, or if the terms of an existing liability are significantly modified, the original liability is derecognized, and a new liability is recognized. The difference in carrying amount of the original liability and the new liability is recognized in profit or loss. Scheduled repayments and the part of non-current debt that falls due within one year are included in interest-bearing short-term debt.
Goodtech has an agreement with Nordea, which serve as the Group's main banking partner. The arrangement includes both overdraft facilities and long-term loans, as well as the Group’s guarantee framework. Credit and guarantee limits are subject to annual renewal. For the Group’s credit facilities, the applicable financial covenant requires that, if any amounts are outstanding, the Group must maintain a Net interest-bearing debt / 12-month rolling EBITDA ratio of less than 2.5. This covenant is measured quarterly. Goodtech has complied with these covenants throughout 2025 and as of December 31, 2025.

Note 22 - Contractual Obligations and Repayment Obligations
Contractual obligations relate to consideration received in advance for work performed under customer contracts. A contractual obligation is an obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer from whom the Group has received consideration (or has an unconditional right to receive consideration). When a customer pays consideration before the Group transfers the related goods or services, a contractual obligation is recognized at the time of payment. Contractual obligations are recognized as revenue when the Group satisfies the related performance obligation in accordance with the contract terms. A repayment obligation represents the requirement to refund all, or part of the consideration received (or 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 resulting impact on transaction price at the end of each reporting period by reassessing the estimates of variable consideration and any applicable constraint mechanisms.

Note 23 - Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Group has incurred an obligation (legal or factual) as a result of a past event and it can be demonstrated (more likely than not) that an economic settlement will occur as a result of the obligation, and the amount can be reliably measured. Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date, and the level reflects the best estimate of the obligation. When the effect of the time value of money is significant, the obligation is accounted for at the present value of future cash flow.

Guarantees
Warranty provisions relate to expected future costs associated with warranty work on products and services delivered by the Group. The provision is based on the warranty obligations set out in signed contracts, as well as the Group’s historical experience with the frequency and cost of warranty claims. The Group typically provides warranty periods of one to two years on its products and services. Warranty provisions are incorporated into project forecasts and are accumulated over the life of the project in line with the degree of completion. Upon project completion and handover to the customer, the warranty provision is reassessed and recognized in the provision account in the balance sheet.
Provisions
The Group had no outstanding provisions as of 31 December 2025. Provisions in 2024 related to surety obligations arising from the discontinued operations in connection to the bankruptcy of GE AB were fully settled during 2024.
Loss Contracts
A provision for onerous (loss-making) contracts is recognized when the Group’s expected revenue from a contract is lower than the unavoidable costs required to fulfil the contractual obligations. In such cases, the Group recognizes the full expected loss on the contract in the period when information becomes available, indicating that expected revenues will be lower than the unavoidable costs.

Note 24 - Share Capital, Premium and paid in capital
Share Capital
The nominal value per share in Goodtech ASA is 2.00 NOK per share. All shares carry equal voting rights. All issued shares are fully paid. The General Meeting has granted two different mandates to the Board to increase the share capital:
Mandate 1: A capital increase of up to 11.8 MNOK has been granted to provide the Board with flexibility regarding potential acquisitions or similar transactions, as well as to strengthen the company's equity.
Mandate 2: A capital increase of up to 3.0 MNOK has been granted for the purpose of issuing new shares in connection with the implementation of the company's incentive schemes.
Both mandates are valid until the General Meeting in 2026, but no later than June 30, 2026. Further information about the resolutions adopted by the Group's General Meeting is available on the Group’s website www.goodtech.no.
Two capital increases were completed in 2025:
-On March 18, 2025, Goodtech approved a capital increase through the issuance of 56 306 new shares at a price of 8.9 NOK per share in a directed issue related to the issuance of shares for company’s incentive scheme (Mandate 2)

Following these actions, the company has an issued share capital of NOK 59 257 742, divided among 29 628 871 shares, each with a nominal value of NOK 2 per share.
Treasury shares
Goodtech ASA owns 480 899 treasury shares at the end of the year, representing 1.6% of the company's registered share capital as of 31.12.2025. As of 31 December 2025, all treasury shares were reserved in connection with the Group's incentive program for key employees (RSU).

Mandate 1: Acquisition of own shares with a total nominal value of 5.9 MNOK for strategic purposes.
Mandate 2: Acquisition of own shares with a total nominal value of 3.0 MNOK for use in the employee incentive program.
The mandates are valid until the General Meeting in 2026, but no later than June 30, 2026, and are capped such that the total holding of own shares acquired under the two mandates cannot exceed 10% of the outstanding shares in the market. The Board of Directors proposed dividend of NOK 0.50 per share for the financial year 2025, subject to approval by the Annual General Meeting 30 April 2026.

All subsidiaries are consolidated in the Group financial statements, and the voting rights are attached to ordinary shares. There were no non-controlling interests as of December 31, 2025, or December 31, 2024.
88 Note 26 - Financial Risk and Financial Instruments
The Group operates in several European countries, as well as in America and Asia, and is primarily exposed to interest rate risk, currency risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. The Board of Directors and Group management perform an annual risk assessment across the Group’s business areas, together with a review of the Group’s risk management procedures. Group management is responsible for evaluating these risks and continuously updating the guidelines for their management. Management within each business region is responsible for ongoing monitoring of risk conditions within their respective areas.
Capital Management
The board and management of Goodtech work continuously to ensure a robust capital structure and adequate financing within the Group, enabling it to pursue risk-adjusted opportunities while maintaining the confidence of shareholders, creditors, and other market participants. The Group actively manages its liquidity and capital structure based on an ongoing assessment of the economic environment in which it operates, as well as 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
- Covenants: Concurrently, Goodtech is managed with a focus on covenants related to its debt financing, as further discussed in “Note 20 – Interest-Bearing Loans and Credits”.
No companies within the Group are subject to external capital requirements beyond those imposed by Nordea Group account arrangement.
Credit Risk
Goodtech has established procedures for assessing creditworthiness for both existing and new customer and supplier relationships. As of 31 December 2025, the risk of financial default among the Group’s counterparties is considered moderate. Routine provisions for expected credit losses on trade receivables are made on a regular basis and are further described in “Note 17 – Trade Receivables and Contract Assets”. The Group has not identified any significant additional credit risk related to its counterparties. The Group's project portfolio is naturally diversified across customers and industries—both in terms of number and size—which results in a moderate concentration of credit risk in ongoing costumer relationships as of December 31, 2025. Goodtech primarily serve large industrial Groups, which are generally assessed 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 | 2025 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trade receivables (note 17) | 66.8 | 92.7 | |
| Contract assets (note 17) | 27.3 | 15.2 | |
| Other current receivables (note 18) | 17.9 | 15.0 | |
| Cash and cash equivalents (note 19) | 127.0 | 110.7 |
Interest Rate Risk
The long-term objective of the Group’s interest rate risk management is to limit financial risk while ensuring competitive net interest costs over time. The Group's interest rate risk primarily arises from financing with floating interest rates. As of 31 December 2025, surplus liquidity is held in bank deposits, while interest-bearing liabilities consist solely of IFRS 16 lease liabilities. As the discount rates applied to most IFRS 16 lease liabilities are fixed, they contribute only marginally to the Group’s overall interest rate risk. Consequently, the Group had limited exposure to interest rate risk as of 31 December 2025.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Group will not be unable to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. Liquidity management aims to ensure that Group maintains sufficient available liquidity to meet obligations at maturity. The Group's 89 strategy is to maintain adequate cash and cash equivalents, and/or credit financing access to credit facilities (further discussed in “Note 20 – Interest-Bearing Loans and Credits”) to always finance ongoing operations and investments line with the Group’s strategic plan. The Group has a net positive liquidity position as of December 31, 2025. Liquidity is monitored both in the short and long term through active management of working capital, including continuous follow-up of overdue receivables. The table below provides an overview of the maturity profile for the Group’s financial obligations, based on nominal repayments and estimated interest payments. Estimated future interest payments are based on the maturity structure of the Group’s financial obligations.

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 exchange rates may lead to changes in earnings measured in NOK for projects where revenues and costs occur in foreign currencies. The Group's most significant currency exposure therefore relates to SEK, USD, and/or EUR. To reduce this risk, the Group generally seeks to match purchases and sales within individual projects in the same currency. 90 Additionally, the Group has established a multi‑currency cash pool system that helps mitigate currency risk and reduce the need for derivatives. The company aims to achieve a natural hedge by aligning customer invoicing currencies with those used for supplier payments. For selected contracts where Goodtech is exposed to significant foreign‑currency risk, the Group enters into forward contracts covering a defined portion of the contract value. In 2025, the Group entered into one FX derivative to hedge USD exposure until March 2026. The derivative had a fair value of NOK 0.4 million as of 31 December 2025.
Cash pool amounts as of 31 December were distributed by currency as shown in the table below:
| Cashpool by currency | Amount in currency | Amount in NOK |
|---|---|---|
| NOK | 98.8 | 98.8 |
| SEK | 1.3 | 1.4 |
| EUR | 0.3 | 4.1 |
| USD | 0.8 | 8.1 |
| Total | 112.4 |
| Escrow accounts by currency | Amount in currency | Amount in NOK |
|---|---|---|
| NOK | 14.5 | 14.5 |
| SEK | 0.1 | 0.1 |
| EUR | - | - |
| USD | - | - |
| Total | 14.6 |
The carrying amount of the Group’s net investments in foreign entities fluctuates with changes in NOK and other relevant currencies. The Group’s profit after tax is also affected by exchange rate movements, as the results of foreign subsidiaries are translated to NOK using a weighted average exchange rate for the reporting period. As Goodtech AB in 2025 in primarily operated as service company for Goodtech AS in 2025, the Group's profit before tax and equity are limited exposed to potential fluctuations in NOK.
The following exchange rates have been used for conversion of balance items (closing rates as of 31.12):
| SEK to NOK | EUR to NOK | |
|---|---|---|
| Exchange rate 2025 | 1.09 | 11.84 |
| Exchange rate 2024 | 1.03 | 11.80 |
Determination of Fair Value
Goodtech holds financial assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost, for which the carrying amounts are considered to approximate fair value. In addition, the Group holds a derivative financial instrument measured at fair value, with a carrying amount of NOK 0.4 million. Due to its immateriality the derivate is classified under “Other current receivables”. 91

Valuation Hierarchy
The Group classifies fair value measurements into a hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in the valuation techniques applied. No financial assets or liabilities were reclassified between measurement categories (from amortised cost to fair value, or vice versa), during the period. The valuation hierarchy is 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). 92
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 related to injury to persons or property that have occurred from the use of the Group's products and solutions. Management is not aware of any ongoing matters that are expected to result in significant obligations for the Group.
The Group undertakes projects under long-term contracts, some of which are fixed-price total contracts. Delays in delivery, failure to meet performance guarantees, or 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, a provision is recognized to cover the expected future losses. The accounting treatment is based on the information and assessments available at the reporting date. Circumstances may change in subsequent periods, and the final outcome may therefore differ from the estimates made when preparing the financial statements.
Legal Disputes
As of December 31 2025, the Group was not involved in any legal disputes.
Bank and Group Guarantees
The Group has provided security to Nordea in connection with the Group's its overdraft and guarantee facilities. Further details regarding these securities are disclosed in “Note 20 – Interest-Bearing Loans and Credits”. 93
Note 28 - Transactions with Related Parties
Goodtech ASA is the parent company and holds both direct and indirect ownership and control of two subsidiaries as of December 31, 2025. These companies are listed in “Note 25 – Group Companies”. Transactions between Group companies are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. Intercompany balances with the parent company are disclosed in “Note 9 – Intercompany Balances with Companies in the Same Group” 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 2025, there were no transactions with related parties. Information regarding remuneration to the Board and key management personnel is presented in “Note 15 - Benefits to the Board, Management, etc.” of the consolidated financial statements.
Note 29 - Events After the Reporting Period
New information about the Group’s positions on the balance sheet date is taken into account in the annual financial statements. Events after the reporting period are those that occur between the end of the reporting period and the date when the financial statements are approved for publication. These may be events that provide new knowledge about conditions that existed at the end of the reporting period and events that relate to conditions that arose after the reporting period. Events after the reporting period that do not affect the Group’s position on the balance sheet date but may affect the Group’s position in the future are disclosed if they are significant There have been no significant events after the balance sheet date. 94
Note 30 - Public Support Schemes
Public grants are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the company will comply with the conditions attached to the grants and that the grants will be received. Operating grants are recognized systematically over the grant period and presented as a reduction of the related expenses. Investment grants are capitalized and recognized over the useful life of the asset by deducting the grant from the carrying amount of the asset.
Goodtech has received funding from the Research Council of Norway to support the Haraldrud facility in Oslo in the treatment of ash from their incineration processes. In 2025, the support of 1.0 MNOK was recognized as other revenue, as the conditions for the grant were met during the year.
Note 31 - Investment in Associated Companies
An associated company is defined as a company where the Group has significant influence. Significant influence normally exists when the Group owns between 20 and 50 percent of the voting capital. Investments in associated companies are accounted for using the equity method in accordance with IAS 28.

Note 32 - Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations
Assets Held for Sale
Non-current assets and Groups of non-current assets and liabilities are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered through a sale transaction rather than through continued use. 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 Solutions AB (GS AB)
In October 2024 Goodtech started a process to divest Goodtech Solutions AB, the operations in Sweden. On 10 February 2025, Goodtech announced an agreement to sell its subsidiary Goodtech Solutions AB to Lazarus Industriförvaltning AB. In accordance with the guidelines in IFRS 5, GSABs financials was reported as held for sale in the balance sheet and recorded at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell and as discontinued operations in the P&L statement from 2024. At the time of sale, Goodtech Solutions AB had three outstanding bank guarantees to customers for related projects totalling to 17.0 MSEK, where the issuing bank had security with Goodtech ASA. The bank guarantees had staggered expiration dates of 31 March 2025, 30 June 2025, and 15 September 2025. Following the transaction, Goodtech Solutions AB registered as insolvent on 25 March 2025. The insolvency impacted the above-mentioned bank guarantees, and the total effect of 14.2 MNOK were presented as discontinued operations in 2025. No further bank guarantees remain related to Goodtech Solutions AB.
Goodtech Solution AS is presented on a separate line in the statement of comprehensive income in accordance with the presentation requirements of IFRS 5. The discontinued operations in Sweden (Goodtech Solutions AB) delivered a loss after tax of 5.9 MNOK in 2025, compared to a loss of 31.6 MNOK for the twelve-month period in 2024. The losses in 2024 included impairment of goodwill, deferred tax and other write-downs of 14 MNOK.

Axges AB (former Goodtech Environmental Solution, GES AB)
On 20 December 2022, Goodtech announced an agreement with NCC to sell the Group's biogas, water and wastewater expertise in Åland. The remaining business was put up for sale along with the property. On July 1, 2024, Axges sold the building and property assets of the company for a total of 1.8 MEUR to Zero Ventures AB in Åland. After the transaction, Goodtech owned 100% of the shares and on 31 March 2025, Axges AB was registered as insolvent. In accordance with the guidelines in IFRS 5, GES ABs financials were reported as held for sale in the balance sheet and recorded at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell and as discontinued operations in the P&L statement from 2022. At the time of insolvency, three outstanding performance and warranty guarantees where the issuing bank has security with Goodtech ASA remained. The outstanding performance and warranty guarantees amount to 2.1 MNOK with staggered expiration dates of 01 June 2028 and 31 December 2028. No provisions have been made related to these guarantees

Note 33 - Share-Based Compensation
Since 2022, the Company’s Board has established a share-based incentive program ("RSU 1") for Leading employees. This program is structured as an investment plan, allowing eligible employees to invest in Company shares at market price, subject to a three-year sale restriction ("Restricted Shares"). Provided that the Executive Employee remains in their position at the end of the restriction period, the Company may allocate free shares to the Executive Employee ("Matching Shares"). Since its launch in June 2022, RSU 1 has been executed in multiple rounds, with the first group of participants vesting their Matching Shares in June 2025. As a result of Leading employees rolling off RSU 1, a new annual RSU allocation program ("RSU 2") was approved at the Annual General Meeting in April 2025. RSU 2 has a three-year vesting period and operates on a rolling basis, ensuring that each participant remains within a continuous one-to-three-year vesting cycle. Unlike RSU 1, RSU 2 does not require additional investment. However, eligibility depends on retaining Restricted Shares acquired under RSU 1. Participants who divest any RSU 1 Restricted Shares will no longer qualify for future RSU 2 allocations. Participants may only be enrolled in one RSU program at a time. Matching shares under RSU 1 and RSU 2 are referred to as options in IFRS 2 and are essentially a stock option with an exercise price of 0. Matching shares are share-based payment transactions settled in equity and are measured at fair value. The fair value of the granted equity is based on market prices. 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:
| 2025 | 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Outstanding options at the beginning of the period | 760 627 | 894 429 |
| Options granted during the period | 232 365 | 32 530 |
| Options forfeited during the period | - | 166 332 |
| Options exercised during the period | 512 302 | - |
| Options expired during the period | - | - |
| Outstanding options at the end of the period | 480 690 | 760 627 |
| Options exercisable at the end of the period | - | - |
The fair value of the outstanding RSUs (Matching shares) is based on the allocation date:
| RSU grant date | Fair value per share |
|---|---|
| January 17, 2023 | 7.96 NOK |
| June 1, 2023 | 9.82 NOK |
| September 21, 2023 | 11.00 NOK |
| December 12, 2024 | 9.22 NOK |
| March 18, 2025 | 9.08 NOK |
| June 24, 2025 | 8.96 NOK |
The total cost of the matching shares reflected in the financial statements for 2025 is 1.9 MNOK compared to 1.4 MNOK in the same period last year. The cost is recognized over the service period. The associated provision for employer's tax is accounted for at 1.1 MNOK as of 31. December 2025.# 98 Statement of Income - Goodtech ASA

102 Note 1 - Accounting Principles
The annual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Accounting Act and generally accepted accounting practices.
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.
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 on 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.
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.
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.
103 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.
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 .

Goodtech ASA had no operating income in either 2024 or 2025. Revenue recognized in 2024 was related to the settlement of the Avanti acquisition.

Impairment of Financial Fixed Assets - Investment in Subsidiaries
Goodtech ASA performs an annual impairment test of its investments in subsidiaries. In addition, impairment testing is carried out whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. When such indicators are identified, the recoverable amount of the investment is estimated. The recoverable amount is defined as the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use, the latter being calculated as the present value of estimated future cash flows.
