Effects
on
strategy

Goodtech is establishing a new company in Sweden focusing on Goodtech's core strategic pillars within advanced control systems
integration, production software and large plant transformation projects. The company will have a similar competency profile as
Goodtech's Norwegian operations, and will not compete with GSAB –
but may however procure external project services from the same
value chain layers as GSAB

Sweden remains a growth venue for Goodtech and the company under establishment will take over a handful of resources from GSAB

compared to 87.4 MNOK in Q4 2023 (+6%). Goodtech is attracting new (11.3%) in the same period in 2023. We experienced lower external project MNOK in Q4 2024 due to higher office rental and consultant costs. The IFRS16 lease adjustment has increased from 4.5 MNOK to 5.5 MNOK from Q4 2023 Goodtech is monitoring the market macro development. Inflation and wage increases are impacting both income and cost base. The group keeps track of changes in energy prices, the interest rate and other cost drivers of the customers' industrial operations. Goodtech's solutions contribute to optimizing the customer's power consumption, resource utilization and wastage, and thus both high energy prices and an increased focus on sustainability are positive drivers in the group's order intake. that order intake and order backlog has a balanced risk profile.

Goodtech also monitors the supplier market closely in terms of price, delivery lead times and transport capacity for products and components for automated industrial production. Examples of this are PLC, HMI, robots, cobots, self-driving vehicles (AGV), and frequency converters.

Parallel to the fact that Goodtech is climbing the customer value chain and increasing scope of supply through system sales, including equipment in scope of supply, the company has simultaneously increased the focus on contract terms and risk distribution between Goodtech and its customers, suppliers and partners. This, together with good project execution ability, makes us confident

Net financial items ended at 0.9 MNOK, compared to -2.5 MNOK in Q4 2023. Cash flow from operating activities ended at 25.7 MNOK in Q4 2024 compared to 71.1 MNOK in Q4 2023. The reduction is primarily related to lower changes in trade receivables and other receivables (31.2 MNOK in Q4 2024 compared to 62.1 MNOK in Q4 2023), as well as higher changes in trade payables and other current liabilities in Q4 (-11.4 MNOK in Q4 2024, compared to -4.6 MNOK in Q4 2023). Goodtech's core business activities are project-related, and thus working capital will naturally fluctuate between the quarters based on milestone payment plans in the ongoing project portfolio.

Notes to the Financial Statements for Q4 2024 (Unaudited)

Note 1 General InformaƟon and AccounƟng Policies

The consolidated financial statements include Goodtech ASA and its subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with InternaƟonal Financial ReporƟng Standards (IFRS) in line with IAS 34 "Interim Financial ReporƟng". The quarterly report is unaudited. The interim financial statements do not include all the informaƟon required in a complete annual financial statement and should therefore be read in conjuncƟon with the consolidated financial statements for 2023. The accounƟng principles used are the same as those used in the consolidated financial statements for 2023. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as established by the EU. Revenues and expenses for foreign subsidiaries are translated into NOK on a quarterly basis using monthly average exchange rates for each currency. Balance sheet items are consolidated using the exchange rates at the end of the reporƟng period.

The presentaƟon in the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss was reclassified from Q3 2024, where "External project costs" and "Net operaƟng revenue aŌer external project costs" was added as new items. "External project costs" includes the previously reported cost of goods sold (in Norwegian referred to as "Varekostnad") as reported before Q3 2024, as well as any other third-party project-related procurement costs (previously reported as part of "other operaƟonal expenses" (in Norwegian referred to as "Andre driŌskostnader" before Q3 2024). Consequently "Net operaƟng revenue aŌer external project costs" illustrates revenues aŌer deducƟng any third-party project-related procurement costs. Other operaƟng expenses will sƟll remain on a separate line in the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss, but now excluding projectrelated third-party procurement costs. The reason for the reclassificaƟon is to align pracƟce to other listed project- and consulƟng companies to ensure ease of comparison and avoid misunderstanding from readers of Goodtech's reported financial statements. Margins are expressed as a percentage of this "Net operaƟng revenue aŌer external project costs" to more accurately showcase Goodtech's value contribuƟon to the projects. The new classificaƟon will also apply to historical numbers and be restated in the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss.

Note 2 EsƟmates

The preparaƟon of the interim financial statements involves the use of assessments, esƟmates and assumpƟons that affect the applicaƟon of accounƟng principles and recognized amounts to assets and liabiliƟes, as well as income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these esƟmates. The most significant consideraƟons in the applicaƟon of the Group's accounƟng policies and the most important sources of uncertainty are the same as those in the preparaƟon of the consolidated financial statements for 2023.

Changes in the Group's Structure

Skala AcquisiƟon

On 16 August 2023, Goodtech announced an agreement to acquire Skala AS's business unit for industrial IT, automaƟon, and process engineering in the liquid food and process industry. The unit is a leading engineering environment in its segment, and strengthens Goodtech's posiƟon within dairy and aquaculture products in Nordic food producƟon. The acquisiƟon was completed on 2 October 2023, and the operaƟons of the business were therefore fully integrated into the Group's financial statements starƟng from Q4 2023.

The transacƟon involved the acquisiƟon of the specialized soŌware LT Line, intangible assets, inventory and office equipment related to the unit's operaƟons, the organisaƟon with 24 engineers in Oslo, Trondheim, Klepp and Førde (of which 23 did not exercise their reservaƟon rights and joined Goodtech), as well as an order book exceeding 20 MNOK.

The acquisiƟon included an iniƟal cash consideraƟon of 7.6 MNOK, as reflected in Goodtech's cash flow statement for 2023. AddiƟonally, the parƟes agreed on a conƟngent consideraƟon (earn-out) that would be determined by contribuƟon margin sharing in the acquired order book of just over 20 MNOK. In February 2024, Goodtech reached an agreement with Skala AS regarding the amount of the conƟngent consideraƟon (earnout) totalling 1.1 MNOK, which is reflected in the Group's cash flow for Q1 2024. The Group made an iniƟal provision for earn-out based on expectaƟons at the Ɵme of acquisiƟon on 2 October, 2023, which as of 31 December 2023, has been reduced to the finally agreed amount of 1.1 MNOK. The reducƟon of 0.8 MNOK has been recorded as other income in 2023.

Note 4 TransacƟons with Related ParƟes

Goodtech occasionally engages in purchase and sale transacƟons with related parƟes as part of normal business operaƟons.
