Consolidated and Parent Company's Annual Report 2022

Introduction

Joint Stock Company "HansaMatrix" (hereinafter – HansaMatrix or Parent Company) is one of the leading electronic system products developer and manufacturer in the Baltic States, listed on Nasdaq Baltic's main list. HansaMatrix Group (hereinafter referred to as Group) includes the following 100% subsidiaries of HansaMatrix:

The Parent Company is active in industrial systems, data network infrastructure, the Internet of Things, as well as medical, and several other B2B (business-to-business) market sectors. HansaMatrix actively develops knowledge-based business, product development competencies, engineering teams and creates an innovation platform for future business development. HansaMatrix has 23-years of experience in the electronics manufacturing industry, and its business mission is to develop worldclass technology products and to assist its customers be competitive on global markets.

Business environment

The demand for data transmission network products and industrial products is stable and growing, which ensures high availability of production orders for these products.

In the second half of 2022, high inflation, rising interest rates, rising energy prices and the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in China, which affected many global supply chains, led to a slowdown in the global economy. In order to reduce expenses, the demand for computers and smartphones among consumers decreased, and companies began to do the same in preparation for a global recession, all of which affected the growth of the semiconductor industry as a whole (http://bit.ly/318okTE). However, this risk for the Group has not yet materialized, but it could have some impact on 2023, depending on the elasticity of demand for the range of products manufactured by HansaMatrix. For part of the Group's products, demand could be considered inflexible, e.g., industrial or data network sector products that are difficult to replace.

According to Gartner, in 2022, global semiconductor industry revenues reached \$602 billion, up just 1.1% compared to year 2021. In 2021, the semiconductor industry's global revenue reached \$595 billion, up 26.3% from 2020. Global semiconductor industry revenue growth has slowed significantly in 2022, compared to an increase in 2021, which indicates better availability of electronic components in 2023 (http://bit.ly/318okTE).

At the end of 2022, the Group felt a slight improvement in the availability of semiconductors, which had a positive impact on the Group's revenue and profitability at the end of 2022. Nevertheless, for a significant part of the semiconductors required for the production of the Group's customer product portfolio, the lead time is still quite long.

To alleviate component shortages, HansaMatrix has a diversified supplier base, applies an alternative component management approach, cooperates with component brokers, and makes purchases of manufacturing components for engaging customer orders in a timelier manner.

As 2023 begins, the global shortage of semiconductors is coming to an end, which will gradually improve delivery times and possibly also prices for the semiconductor components used in the production of electronic systems. According to a Q4 2022 survey of KPMG LLP and the Global Semiconductor Alliance (GSA) semiconductor industry, a majority (65%) of executives indicated that the shortage of semiconductor supply would decrease in 2023, and 15% believed that supply and demand were already in balance for most products. Only 20% indicated that the deficit would continue until 2024. In addition, the executives surveyed also did not see that the Russian-Ukrainian war would have a significant impact on the semiconductor supply chain in 2023 (http://bit.ly/3YoPZhA).

Looking ahead, the Group's management expects a new business trend with the increasing use of technology in economic processes (more data bandwidth, more robotics and automation, more remote work, more independence of the EU in production), recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic and preparing for more market demand and faster business growth after that.

Group's results of operations

2022
2021
In 2022, HansaMatrix Group's revenue from contracts with
customers (hereinafter referred to as sales, revenue or turnover)

In the reporting period, EBITDA amounted to EUR 2,912 million, which is a 22% decrease compared to EUR 3,732 million in 2021. The Group's net profit was negative at EUR 2,146 million. EUR compared to a net loss of EUR 1,821 million in 2021.

For a better comparison of interim profitability, the Group calculates the normalized profit, which amounted to EUR 0.404 million in 2022 and was 65% less than the corresponding indicator for 2021 of EUR 1,165 million.

The Group's revenue growth was driven by high demand in key industries, which, together with the active sales process and the still existing global semiconductor shortage, has delivered a significant volume of orders at the end of 2022 of 24.2 million EUR.

The decrease in EBITDA in 2022 compared to 2021 is explained by the relatively smaller share of high value-added products in the range of manufactured products, which was affected by the global component deficit in Q2 and Q4 of 2022.

The Group's significant losses for 2022 can be explained mainly by the Group's determination of fair value for investments in SIA Zinātnes Parks amounting to EUR 0.806 million and with losses from the associate company SIA Lightspace technologies, recognized in the Group's 2022 statement of comprehensive income of EUR 1,421 million.

Net profit was negative and amounted to EUR 3,468 million compared to a net loss of EUR 1,453 million in 2021. In 2022, the increased losses are mainly explained by the creation of provisions, revising the fair value of HansaMatrix investments in AS Lightspace Holding and the loan to SIA Zinātnes Parks.

Non-financial report

Non-financial report

The Group's non-financial report has been prepared in accordance with the guidelines developed by Nasdaq (ESG Reporting Guide 2.0, available at: https://www.nasdaq.com/docs/2019/11/26/2019-ESG-Reporting-Guide.pdf) (hereinafter referred to as the ESG Guidelines), published in May 2019.

The Group performs new electronic products and systems development, industrialization and provides a full range of manufacturing services for data network equipment, the Internet of Things, industrial systems and other products in high value-added market segments. The majority of the Group's revenues are generated by providing manufacturing services in electronics sector, including the industrialization of electronic products, assembly of components on electronic boards and assembly of end products, component supply chain management services and plastic parts production. The Group also has revenues from research and development services in the electronics industry and the production and assembly of high-precision metal, plastic and various composite components, which complement its core business- electronics manufacturing services.

HansaMatrix is the Group's parent company, which performs the Group's strategic and financial management, sales process management, as well as the strategic management of customer and supplier relations and the management of legal relations. HansaMatrix management office is located in Marupe, Ziedleju street 6. HansaMatrix manufactures high-precision products of various materials in Mārupe, Zemzaru Street 3. In addition, HansaMatrix, upon receiving production orders in accordance with production service agreements, assigns them to its subsidiary HansaMatrix Pārogre, which is the Group's Ogre plant, at Akmeņu Street 72, Ogre and HansaMatrix Ventspils, which is the Group 's Ventspils plant, located at Ventspils High Technology Park 1, Ventspils.

HansaMatrix's subsidiary HansaMatrix Innovation is the holder and manager of the Group's research and development assets. HansaMatrix subsidiary SIA Zinātnes parks is developing an industrial real estate project located in Rigas International Airports area.

On February 24, 2021, the Group approved a sustainability policy and targets, in accordance with the core business of providing electronic manufacturing services, in line with the Group's values and considering resolution adopted by the UN General Assembly in 2015 "Transforming Our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development" specified framework of the set of 17 sustainable development targets and priorities, in which the Group can make the most significant contribution:

In 2021, HansaMatrix's 5-year strategy was developed and approved, setting goals for business growth, finance, customer experience, human resources and sustainability for this period. The Group's strategy for the next 5 years foresee significant business growth with an emphasis on increasing the share of high value-added products, focusing on the industrial, data network, medical, optical and aviation sectors in international markets, primarily in the Scandinavian and Baltic countries.

EU Taxonomy

To mitigate climate change and address environmental degradation, the European Union (EU) has set ambitious targets to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 55% by 2030 and to become climate neutral by 2050. The European Green Deal is a strategy by which Europe aims to achieve climate neutrality.

Significant financial resources will be needed to achieve the set goals. The Taxonomy Regulation 2020/852 is a key component of the European Commission's action plan to redirect capital flows towards a more sustainable economy. It represents an important step towards achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 in line with EU climate goals as the Taxonomy is a classification system for environmentally sustainable economic activities.

On the voluntary bases, HansaMatrix as a non-financial undertaking presents the share of the Group's turnover, capital expenditure (Capex) and operating expenditure (Opex) for the reporting period 2022, which are associated with Taxonomy-eligible and Taxonomy-non-eligible economic activities related to the first two environmental objectives (climate change mitigation and climate change adaptation) in accordance with Taxonomy Regulation 2020/852 Article 8 and Delegated Regulation 2021/2178 Article 10 Section 2.

HansaMatrix Group economic activities – Taxonomy-non-eligible

HansaMatrix Group has examined all Taxonomy-eligible economic activities listed in the Delegated Regulation 2021/2139. The Delegated Regulation 2021/2139 focuses on economic activities and sectors that have the greatest potential to achieve the objective of climate change mitigation – that is, the need to avoid producing GHG emissions, to reduce such emissions or to increase GHG removals and long-term carbon storage.

After a thorough review involving all relevant divisions and functions, we concluded that economic activities of the Group at this point of time are not covered by the Delegated Regulation 2021/2139 and consequently they are Taxonomy-non- eligible, thus, the share of Taxonomy-eligible economic activities in total turnover is 0%.

In addition, the capital and operating expenditure to be reported also include those that are related to the purchase of output from other Taxonomy-eligible economic activities and certain individual measures enabling the activities to become low-carbon, or to lead to GHG reductions. Based on accounting policy regarding these individually Taxonomy-eligible Capex/Opex which are related to installation, maintenance and repair of energy efficiency equipment (see the section "Explanations on the numerator of the Capex KPI and the Opex KPI"), the Group discloses the following indicators:

Proportion of Taxonomy-eligible and Taxonomy-non-eligible economic activities in total turnover, Capex and Opex

1Regulation (EU) 2020/85 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 June 2020 on the establishment of a framework to facilitate sustainable investment, and amending Regulation (EU) 2019/2088

2Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2178 of 6 July 2021 supplementing Regulation (EU) 2020/852 of the European Parliament and of the Council by specifying the content and presentation of information to be disclosed by undertakings subject to Articles 19a or 29a of Directive 2013/34/EU concerning environmentally sustainable economic activities, and specifying the methodology to comply with that disclosure obligation

3Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139 of 4 June 2021 supplementing Regulation (EU) 2020/852 of the European Parliament and of the Council by establishing the technical screening criteria for determining the conditions under which an economic activity qualifies as contributing substantially to climate change mitigation or climate change adaptation and for determining whether that economic activity causes no significant harm to any of the other environmental objectives

Explanations on the numerator of the Capex KPI and the Opex KPI

Since HansaMatrix Group has not identified Taxonomy-eligible economic activities, The Group did not record Capex/Opex related to assets or processes that are associated with Taxonomy-eligible economic activities ("category a" acc. to Sect. 1.1.2.2 of Annex I to the Delegated Regulation 2021/2178) in the numerator of the Capex KPI and the Opex KPI. Furthermore, there are no Capex plans to upgrade a Taxonomy-eligible economic activity to become Taxonomy-aligned or to expand a Taxonomy-eligible economic activity at this point of time ("category b" acc. to Sect. 1.1.2.2 of Annex I to the Delegated Regulation 2021/2178).

Only "category c" Capex and Opex can therefore qualify as Taxonomy-eligible, i.e. Capex/Opex related to the purchase of output from Taxonomy-eligible economic activities and individual measures enabling the target activities (our noneligible activities) to become low-carbon or to lead to greenhouse gas reductions (Sect. 1.1.2.2. (c) of Annex I to the Delegated Regulation 2021/2178). These individual measures correspond to economic activities listed in the delegated acts supplementing the Taxonomy Regulation (as of today, the Delegated Regulation 2021/2139) and must be implemented and operational within 18 months.

HansaMatrix Group has identified the following purchased outputs and individual measures that correspond to eligible economic activities and, thus, result in Taxonomy-eligible Capex/Opex:

Individually Taxonomy-eligible Capex/Opex and the corresponding economic activities

Environmental management indicators

The Group complies with the requirements of all environmental quality regulations, all activities performed by the Group's companies are assessed in accordance with the established requirements, regularly following their changes/ amendments. Before starting a new planned activity, environmental protection specialists are consulted in order to minimize the possible negative impact on the environment.

HansaMatrix Pārogre, which is the Group's Ogre plant, environmental activities are regulated by certificate issued on November 21, 2019 by the State Environmental Service Lielrīga Regional Environmental Board for category C polluting activity No.RI19IC0098, types of polluting activities: equipment for production of electrical products, except equipment transformer or printed circuit for the production of combustion equipment with a rated thermal input equal to or greater than 0.2 and less than 5 megawatts and using biomass, peat or gaseous fuels as fuel. Until 07.11.2019 Environmental activities at the Group's Ogre plant were regulated by the Group's parent company HansaMatrix category C polluting activity certificate No. 1460 issued on March 14, 2017 (with amendments on 10.11.2017).

The environmental activities of HansaMatrix Ventspils, which is the Group's Ventspils plant, are regulated by the State Environmental Service for the C category polluting activity No. 2700-07-26 issued on September 24, 2007, for these types of polluting activities: equipment for the production of electrical products, except equipment for the production of transformers or printed circuits.

Greenhouse gas (GhG) emissions (E1)

Carbon dioxide emissions in the Group are calculated in accordance with the methodology of the Latvian Environment, Geology and Meteorology Centre, which is reviewed and updated annually, as well as in accordance with the common methodology for calculating the impact of measures and projects on climate change developed in Latvian specified in regulations of Minister Cabinet No. 42 "Methodology for Calculating Greenhouse Gas Emissions" issued on January 23, 2018.

The Group's GhG emissions are generated by consuming electricity by the Group's companies, purchased from electricity suppliers and used in the Group's offices and production facilities, including the operation of production facilities, by using district heating services for the premises of the Ventspils plant, consuming natural gas for heating the Ogre plant premises, the management office and the Mārupe metal plant, as well as consuming fuel for the needs of the Group's employees cars.

In 2022, compared to 2021, the Group's total greenhouse gas emissions decreased significantly. The decrease of 16% is explained by the decrease in electricity and natural gas consumption. A decrease was also observed in the consumption of automotive fuels, which is explained by the decrease in the number of company cars and the possibility for employees to work remotely.

GhG emissions, t/CO2

Greenhouse gas emission intensity (E2)

Since 2018, the Group's greenhouse gas emission intensity has tended to decrease. In 2022, compared to 2021, this indicator has decreased, mainly as a result of a decrease in the consumption of natural gas used for heating the Ogre plant, which is mainly explained by the duration of the heating season in 2022 and air temperature. In addition to natural gas, a decrease was also observed in the consumption of electricity and car fuel.

Greenhouse gas emission intensity, gCO2/Revenue EUR

Energy usage (E3) and energy mix (E5)

The Group's energy consumption has been calculated based on meter readings and documentation of energy volumes purchased from suppliers.

In 2022, consumption of energy resources decreased by 16%, which was mainly influenced by the volumes of natural gas used, decrease in electricity and fuel consumption.

The Group consumes primary and secondary energy resources, evaluating them according to the type of extraction. The primary energy resources used are natural gas, electricity, diesel, gasoline, as well as nitrogen, which is used in the production process. Secondary energy resources used: thermal energy (heating water); water (drinking water). In 2022, the largest share in the total energy consumption was for electricity – 46%, natural gas – 27%, heating and fuel – 18% and 10%, respectively.

Energy usage, MWh

Social development indicators

According to the ESG guidelines, social responsibility indicators are mainly related to responsibility towards employees and compliance with general human rights norms. Taking into account discussions with stakeholders, the Group's goal in the field of social development is to ensure a healthy life and promote the well-being of society, achieve gender diversity and provide full and equal opportunities for employees, provide inclusive, fair and high-quality education, promote lifelong learning opportunities.

In 2022, the Group has continued to conduct regular surveys of employees of Ventspils and Ogre plant to obtain the Employee Net Promoter Score (ENPS) with the aim of receiving measurable data and feedback on the satisfaction of most of the Group's employees with the working environment and loyalty to the company, its goals and values. The net promoter indicator is regularly tracked at the group's management level and appropriate decisions and actions are evaluated and taken with the aim of solving the issues topical for the Group's employees, thus ensuring the fulfilment of the Group's social development goals.

Taking into account that 2022 is the second year in which the Group starts publishing ESG indicators, this time only the most important (not all) environmental, social and corporate governance indicators that are expected to be published in accordance with ESG guidelines are published in the sustainability report, balancing the costs of collecting and publishing the Group's data against the additional information provided by the specific indicators.

Remuneration of employees ratio (S1 and S2)

The Group complies with all laws and regulations in force in the Republic of Latvia applicable to employment. In addition to their monthly salary, employees receive bonuses and social guarantees. Employees are granted fully paid health insurance and life insurance with a value of 1 net annual salary. The Group provides material help to employees in a variety of life situations. Since 2018, the Group's key employees for achieving their work KPI's have been entitled to receive employee stock options, which after 3 years of vesting period provide them employees with the right to acquire HansaMatrix shares listed in Nasdaq Riga free of charge.

The ratio of the total remuneration of the Chairman of the Board of HansaMatrix (S1) to the median remuneration of employees in 2022 was 7:1. The remuneration of the Chairman of the Management Board amounted to 2.6% of the total remuneration of all employees of the Group.

The analysis of gender equality in the Group shows the median remuneration ratio (S2) of full-time engineers and manufacturing personnel of men and women, the dynamics of which have remained unchanged over the past five years and showed 136% in 2022. In the Group, the remuneration of employees in the same position does not differ depending on gender, but the difference between the average remuneration of men and women is formed by the relatively higher proportion of men in the positions of higher salary.

Employee turnover (S3)

The majority (62%) of employees in the Group work for more than 3 full years: 24% of employees work from 3 to 5 years, 25% from 6 to 10 years, and 13% for more than 10 years, which indicates that HansaMatrix is a stable, long-term employer.

The value of HansaMatrix's employee turnover rate has fluctuated between 13% and 22% over the last five years. During 2021, employee turnover increased due to the Group's strategic focus on improving operational efficiency and the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. Due to the restriction set by the Latvian government to employ only vaccinated employees in a certain period, the employment termination rates of employees who did not want to be vaccinated increased, however, in 2022 employee turnover decreased.

Emphasis is also placed on the normalization of the employee turnover and the promotion of gender equality, equalizing the proportion of men and women in job categories where possible.

Impact of Covid-19

The possible further development of the COVID-19 pandemic and its possible containment measures may negatively affect the Group's operations in the short term. In the countries where the Group operates, restrictions have been lifted and HansaMatrix factories operate without restrictions and strict safety measures are followed to protect the safety and health of personnel. However, since pandemic conditions can change rapidly, it may still pose a short-term risk to the Group's business, affecting the development of various industries in which the Group's customers operate, affecting staff health and availability, as well as supply chains and logistics.

The impact of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict

The Russian-Ukrainian military conflict (hereinafter – Conflict), launched in 2022, has changed the environment of macroeconomic activity and may affect the availability of components and other materials and global logistics. The Group has worked closely with customers to better identify and understand the potential impact of the Conflict on production order volumes. The Group has no customers in Russia, Ukraine or Belarus, and HansaMatrix customers also do not have significant revenue exposure to the markets directly involved in the conflict. HansaMatrix has a diversified supplier base and the Group has no suppliers in Russia, Ukraine or Belarus. The Group has contacted and discussed the Conflict and related risks with key suppliers and logistics partners.

Consolidated and Parent Company's Annual Report 2022

Notes to the financial statements

1. General information

AS HansaMatrix (hereinafter – the Parent Company) was registered with the Republic of Latvia Enterprise Register on 30 July 1999 and re-registered with the Republic of Latvia Commercial Register on 27 December 2002 under unified registration number 40003454390. The registered office of the Parent Company is at Akmeņu street 72, Ogre. The shares of the Parent Company are listed on Riga Stock Exchange, Latvia.

There is no parent entity for HansaMatrix.

The HansaMatrix Group (hereinafter – the Group) is a leading Baltic electronic system product developer and manufacturer. Information on the Group's structure and other related party relationships of the Group and the Parent Company is provided in Notes 18 and Note 41.

The financial statement for 2022 was approved by the decision of the Board of the Parent Company on April 28, 2023.

The Parent Company's shareholders have the power to amend the consolidated and separate financial statements after the issue.

2. Important accounting principles

2.1. Basis of preparation

The financial statements present the consolidated financial position of the AS HansaMatrix Group (i.e. AS HansaMatrix and its subsidiaries) and the financial position of AS HansaMatrix on a stand-alone basis.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and standard interpretations published by IFRS Interpretations Committee, i.e. IFRIC as adopted by the European Union. The financial statements are prepared on a historical cost basis, unless stated otherwise in the accounting policies described below.

The monetary unit used in the financial statements is the euro (EUR). The financial statements cover the period 1 January 2022 through 31 December 2022.

2.2. Basis of consolidation

2.2.1 Subsidiaries

The consolidated financial statement includes the financial statements of AS "HansaMatrix" and all subsidiaries under its control for 2022. The financial statements of the Subsidiary of the Group have been prepared for the same reporting period as the financial statements of the Parent Company, applying the same accounting principles.

Subsidiaries are the entities controlled by the parent company. Control is achieved when the Parent Company:

  • Has the power over the investee;
  • Is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
  • Has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.

The Parent company reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.

When the Parent company has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, it considers that it has power over the investee when the voting rights are sufficient to give it the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee unilaterally. The Parent company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether or not the Parent company's voting rights in an investee are sufficient to give it power, including:

• The size of the Parent company's holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other vote holders;

  • Potential voting rights held by the Parent company, other vote holders or other parties;
  • Rights arising from other contractual arrangements;

• Any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the Parent company has, or does not have, the current ability to direct the relevant activities at the time that decisions need to be made, including voting patterns at previous shareholders' meetings.

Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Parent Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Parent Company discontinues the control. Reporting periods and dates of the financial statements of the Parent Company and subsidiaries correspond to those of the consolidated financial statements. Accounting policies of the subsidiaries are changed to bring them in line with that of the Group.

The financial statements of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries are consolidated in the Group's consolidated financial statements by adding together like items of assets and liabilities as well as income and expense. All intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains and losses on transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

In the parent company's financial statements, investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less accumulated impairment.

Basis of consolidation

2.2.2. Associate

An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies.

Under the equity method, the investment in an associate is initially recognized at cost. The carrying amount of the investment is adjusted to recognize changes in the Group's share of net assets of the associate since the acquisition date. Goodwill relating to the associate is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not tested for impairment separately.

The income statement reflects the Group's share in the results of operations of the associate. Unrealized gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and the associate are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the associate.

The aggregate of the Group's share of profit or loss of an associate is shown on the face of the profit or loss outside operating profit and represents profit or loss after tax and non-controlling interests in the subsidiaries of the associate. The financial statements of the associate are prepared for the same reporting period as the Group. When necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies in line with those of the Group. After application of the equity method, the Group determines whether it is necessary to recognize an impairment loss on its investment in its associate. At each reporting date, the Group determines whether there is objective evidence that the investment in the associate is impaired.

If there is such evidence, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate and it carrying value, and then recognizes the loss within 'Share of profit of an associate' in the profit or loss.

Upon loss of significant influence over the associate, the Group measures and recognizes any retained investment at its fair value. Any difference between the carrying amount of the associate upon loss of significant influence and the fair value of the retained investment and proceeds from disposal is recognized in profit or loss.

In the Parent Company's financial statements investments in associate are accounted at cost less accumulated impairment.

Basis of consolidation

2.2.3. Business Combinations and goodwill

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, which is measured at acquisition date fair value, and the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and previously interest held in acquiree. For each business combination, the Group elects whether to measure the non-controlling interests in the acquiree at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred and included in administrative expenses. When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree. Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Contingent consideration classified as equity is not re-measured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability that is a financial instrument and within the scope of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, is measured at fair value with the changes in fair value recognized in the statement of profit or loss in accordance with IFRS 9. Other contingent consideration that is not within the scope of IFRS 9 is measured at fair value at each reporting date with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss. Goodwill is initially measured at cost (being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognized for non-controlling interests and any previous interest held over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed). If the fair value of the net assets acquired is in excess of the aggregate consideration transferred, the Group re-assesses whether it has correctly identified all of the assets acquired and all of the liabilities assumed and reviews the procedures used to measure the amounts to be recognized at the acquisition date. If the reassessment still results in an excess of the fair value of net assets acquired over the aggregate consideration transferred, then the gain is recognized in profit or loss. After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group's cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those unit.

Where goodwill has been allocated to a cash-generating unit (CGU) and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the disposed operation is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal. Goodwill disposed in these circumstances is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.

Changes in a parent's ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the parent losing control of the subsidiary are equity transactions (i.e. transactions with owners in their capacity as owners). When the proportion of the equity held by non-controlling interests' changes, the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interest's area adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity and attributed to the owners of the parent.

Revaluation of foreign currencies

2.3. Revaluation of foreign currencies

The functional and presentation currency of the Group and Parent company is the euro (EUR), the monetary unit of the Republic of Latvia. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the euro at the euro foreign exchange reference rate published by the European Central Bank at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the euro applying the euro foreign exchange reference rate published by the European Central Bank at the last day of the reporting year. The differences arising on settlements of transactions or on reporting foreign currency transactions at rates different from those at which these transactions have originally been recorded are netted in the statement of comprehensive income accounts. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. The non-monetary items are carried at historical cost and no further retranslation is performed.

Non-financial assets and liabilities

2.4. Intangible assets

Intangible non-current assets are stated at cost and amortized over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. The carrying values of intangible assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Losses from impairment are recognized where the carrying value of intangible non-current assets exceeds their recoverable amount.

Other intangible assets are comprised of software and licenses. Amortization is calculated on straight line basis. Other intangible assets have a useful life of 3 – 5 years.

Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income when the asset is derecognized.

2.4.1. ODM (Original Design Manufacturing) assets

Intangible assets comprise intellectual property arising from research and development of the Parent Company and the Group in the form of ODM (Original Design Manufacturing) assets. The Parent Company and the Group recognizes and, according to IAS 38, capitalizes the results of development of products, materials, devices, processes and systems derived as a result of targeted projects, which are ODM assets. ODM assets may incorporate tangible elements, such as prototypes of materials or products, samples, devices, systems, and intangible elements, such as project or production documents, documented processes, inventions or innovations which are or are not protected by patents.

The creation of ODM assets is initiated only for a specific identified customer or several such customers after the expected economic result has been evaluated. This process is accurately managed by accounting for all costs, both costs of direct materials used in project development and the full cost of engineering hours spent, including salaries of engineers plus costs incurred to ensure their work, but excluding administrative expense.

When recognizing an ODM asset, the Group determines the amortization charge of each ODM asset per one unit of a product associated with the use of the ODM asset and the total number of units of the product by which the accrued value will be fully amortized. The expected amortization period of ODM assets is 3 years. The selling price per unit of the ODM asset included in the price of delivery of the product may be higher than its amortization expense.

By transforming an ODM asset, adapting it and using the related product research and development knowledge to meet the needs of multiple customers and different products, its amortization period is up to 10 years.

2.4.2. Research and development costs

Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development expenditures on an individual project are recognized as an intangible asset when the Group can demonstrate the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that the asset will be available for use or sale, its intention to complete and its ability and intention to use or sell the asset, how the asset will generate future economic benefits, the availability of resources to complete the asset and the ability to measure reliably the expenditure during development. Other development expenditure is written off.

After initial recognition, development expenditure is recognized as intangible assets at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Assets are amortized over their expected useful lives. At each reporting date, it is analysed whether there is any indication that the asset may be impaired.

Fixed assets

2.5. Fixed assets

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value, except for land and buildings that are measured at revaluated amount less accumulated depreciation (of the buildings) and impairment losses recognized after date of revaluation. Land is not depreciated. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset, as follows:

Buildings over 20 to 33 years
Equipment and
machinery
over 5 to 10 years
Other property, plant
and equipment
over 3 to 10 years

Depreciation starts when the asset is ready for its intended use. Each part of an item of property, plant and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item is depreciated separately. To the extent that the Group depreciates separately some parts of property, plant and equipment, it also depreciates separately the remainder of the item. The remainder consists of the parts that are individually insignificant. The depreciation for the remainder is determined using approximation techniques to faithfully represent its useful life.

The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. If any such indication exists and where the carrying values exceed the estimated recoverable amount, the assets or cash-generating units are written down to their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of property, plant and equipment is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. In assessing the value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Impairment losses are recognized in the cost of sales caption or in admirative expense caption.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in the statement of comprehensive income in the year the item is derecognized.

Expenses related to leasehold improvements are capitalized as property, plant and equipment and depreciated over the lease period on a straight-line basis.

Construction in progress represents property, plant and equipment under construction and is stated at historical cost. This includes the cost of construction and other direct expenses. Construction in progress is not depreciated until the respective assets are completed and available for use.

In cases when computer software is an integral element of hardware that cannot operate without that specific software, computer software is treated as property, plant and equipment.

Revaluation of property, plant and equipment

Revaluations have been made with sufficient regularity (not less frequently than every 5 years) to ensure that the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment items subject to valuation does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair value at the end of reporting period. Real estate (land and buildings) is revalued. The revaluation is performed by certified valuators.

Increase in the carrying amount arising on revaluation net of deferred tax is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income as changes in the equity caption 'Property, plant and equipment revaluation reserve'. Decreases that offset previous increases of the same asset are charged in the statement of comprehensive income and debited against the revaluation reserve directly in equity; all other decreases are charged to the current year's profit or loss. Property, plant and equipment revaluation reserve is decreased over the useful life of the asset. Revaluation reserve cannot be distributed in dividends, used for indemnity, reinvested in other reserves, or used for other purposes.

Inventories

2.6. Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value.

Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition are accounted for as follows:

  • raw materials – purchase cost on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Net realizable value is disclosed at the purchase (production) cost less allowances made. Allowances are made for slow moving inventories which have not been sold or used in a 24-month period.

Net realizable value

The Group's management evaluates the net realizable value of inventories based upon the expected sales prices and selling costs and assesses the physical condition of inventories during the annual stock count. If the net realizable value of inventories is lower than the cost of inventories, an allowance is recorded. The Group's management has evaluated the net realizable value of inventories and considers that it is not necessary to make an additional significant allowance as at 31 December 2022 (Note 23).

Accounting for grants

2.7. Accounting for grants

Grants received from the government and international organizations are recognized where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attached conditions will be complied with.

Grants received from the government and international organizations for the purchase, development or construction of non-current assets are initially recognized as deferred income and taken to the profit or loss on a systematic basis over the useful life of the relevant assets.

Other government grants are recognized as income on a systematic basis over the period when the Group and the Parent Company expense the costs that the grants compensate. A government grant that becomes receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Group and the Parent Company with no future related costs is recognized as income of the period in which it becomes receivable.

Provisions

2.8. Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Group and the Parent Company have a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Where the Group and the Parent Company expect some or all of provisions to be reimbursed, for example, under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement of comprehensive income net of any reimbursement.

The Group manufactured products that malfunction, do not correspond to the specifications or have defects may be returned to the Group. The sole responsibility of the Group under the warranty is to repair or replace the non-confirming or damaged product. This warranty does not apply to:

  • -pilot products, prototypes, preproduction units, product testing batches;
  • -any products repaired by the seller or third party;
  • -any products used wrongfully due to misuse or negligence.

Warranty period is 1 to 2 years and set on an individual basis.

Because the warranty provides the customer with the assurance that the product will work as intended for one year, HansaMatrix accounts for this 'assurance-type' warranty in accordance with IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, i.e. a provision is raised for the expected cost of repairing the product in the next 12 - 24 months. Assurance-type warranties do not result in a change to current practice for the recognition of revenue, i.e. this does not represent a separate performance obligation.

Leases 2.9. Leases

The Group assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

Group as a lessee

The Group applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Group recognizes lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.

Right to use the asset

The Group recognizes right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognized, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:

  • Plant and machinery 2 5 years
  • Lease of land up to 50 years
  • Motor vehicles and other equipment 2 to 5 years

If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Group at the end of the lease term or the cost reflects the exercise of a purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset.

The right-of-use assets are also subject to impairment. If there are any indications of impairment, the carrying amount of the asset is written down to its recoverable which is the higher of the right-of -use asset's selling price and its value in use recognizing impairment loss as expense in the statement of profit or loss.

Lease liabilities

At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Group and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising the option to terminate.

Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as expenses (unless they are incurred to produce inventories) in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.

In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments (e.g., changes to future payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.

Short-term leases and leases f low-value asset

The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of machinery and equipment (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases of office equipment that are considered to be low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Leases

Group as lessor

Leases in which the Group does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset are classified as operating leases. Rental income arising is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease terms and is included the profit or loss due to its operating nature. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized over the lease term on the same basis as rental income. Contingent rents are recognized as revenue in the period in which they are earned.

Group and Parent Company as lessors

Assets that are leased out under operating lease terms are recognized as property, plant and equipment at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis in order to write down each asset over its estimated useful life to its estimated residual value.

Income from operating leases is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the lease term .

Financial assets and liabilities

2.10. Financial assets

The Group classifies financial assets as follows:

  • financial assets at amortized cost,
  • equity instruments at fair value with recognition of revaluations in other comprehensive income,
  • financial assets at fair value with recognition of revaluations in the income statement,
  • debt instruments at fair value with the recognition of a revaluation at fair value through the recognition of revaluation in other comprehensive income.

Financial assets at amortized cost

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost in case it satisfies both of the following requirements and is not classified as at FVTPL:

a) it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and

b) its contractual terms on specified dates ensures cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest.

These assets are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs, directly attributable to their acquisition. After the initial recognition, the assets are measured at amortized cost applying the effective interest rate method. The amortized cost value is decreased by impairment losses. Foreign exchange gains and losses, impairment, and interest income are recognized in profit or loss statement. On derecognition, any gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss statement.

Equity investments at fair value through other comprehensive income

Upon initial recognition, the Group can choose to irrevocably classify its equity investments as equity instruments designated at fair value through OCI, in case these investments a) meet the definition of equity instrument under IAS 32 Financial Instruments and b) and are not held for trading. The Group evaluates and applies this classification for each instrument separately. These instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs, directly attributable to their acquisition. After the initial recognition, these instruments are measured at fair value. Dividends are recorded in profit or loss statement. Other net gains and losses are accumulated in OCI and are never applied or reclassified to profit or loss statement.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

These financial instruments include financial assets held for trading and financial assets designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss. Financial instruments are deemed as held for trading in case they are planned to be sold in the short term. Derivatives are also classified as held for trading, except when they are hedging instruments. Financial instruments with contractual cash flows that are not solely principal and interest payments are classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss. For these instruments, directly attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. After the initial recognition, these instruments are measured at fair value. Net value changes are recognized in profit or loss statement.

Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income

A debt instrument is measured at FVTOCI if it meets both of the following requirements and is not classified as at FVTPL: a) it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows and to sell these financial assets; and b) its contractual terms on specified dates ensures cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest. These assets are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs directly attributable to their acquisition. After the initial recognition, the assets are measured at fair value. Foreign exchange gains and losses, interest income calculated using the effective interest method, and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Other net gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income (OCI). In case of derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in OCI are reclassified to profit or loss.

Financial assets

Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognized (i.e., removed from the Group's and the Parents financial statement of financial position) when:

  • The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired or
  • The trade receivable balance is subject to non-recourse factoring arrangement or

• The Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a 'pass-through arrangement; and either (a) the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

When the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if, and to what extent, it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Group continues to recognize the transferred asset to the extent of its continuing involvement. In that case, the Group also recognizes an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Group has retained.

Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Group could be required to repay.

Netting of financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are off-set and the net amount is presented in the statement of financial position only if there is a legal right to off-set and recognize net amount and there is an intention to settle on net basis or sell the asset and settle the liability at the same time.

Financial liabilities

2.11. Financial liabilities

The Group classifies financial liabilities as follows:

  • financial liabilities at amortized cost;
  • financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).

Financial liabilities at amortized cost

A financial liability is measured at amortized cost in case it is not held-for-trading and is not designated as held-for-trading in the initial recognition. These financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value less directly attributable transaction costs. After the initial recognition, these liabilities are measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate.

Derecognition of financial obligations

The Group shall derecognize financial liabilities, then and only when the Group's obligations have been fulfilled, cancelled or terminated. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability and the consideration paid and payable is recognized in the income statement.

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL in case it is held-for-trading or is designated as held-for-trading in the initial recognition. For this type of liabilities, directly attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss statement, as incurred. Liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value, with changes in value and interest expense recognized through profit or loss statement.

In case the Group uses derivative financial instruments, such derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.

Derivative embedded in a hybrid contract, with a financial liability is separated from the host and accounted for as a separate derivative if: the economic characteristics and risks are not closely related to the host; a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative would meet the definition of a derivative; and the hybrid contract is not measured at fair value through profit or loss. Embedded derivatives are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss. Reassessment only occurs if there is either a change in the terms of the contract that significantly modifies the cash flows that would otherwise be required or a reclassification of a financial asset out of the fair value through profit or loss.

Determination of fair value

2.12. Determination of fair value

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

in the principal market for the asset or liability, or

In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

The Group measures the fair value of a financial instrument using the quoted price in an active public market for that instrument, when available. An active market is one in which transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

In case a financial instrument measured at fair value has a bid price and an ask price, then the Group measures the assets at a bid price and liabilities - at an ask price.

When there is no quoted price in an active market, the Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances that maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

Fair value of a financial instrument applied on initial recognition is normally the transaction price.

When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses observable market data as far as possible. Fair values are categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:

Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices);

Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The Group recognizes transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.

Impairment of financial instruments and contract assets

The Group recognizes an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for financial assets measured at amortized cost and contract assets. The impairment model is based on the premise of providing for expected credit losses.

Impairment is measured with one of the following approaches:

  • a) 12-month ECLs: these are ECLs that result from possible default events within the 12 months after the reporting date;
  • b) lifetime ECLs: these are ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financials instrument.

For trade receivables and contract assets, the Group and the Parent Company apply a simplified approach – a loss allowance is always established equal to the amount of credit losses expected over the remaining life of the asset (lifetime ECLs).

For individually assessed financial assets that are measured at amortized cost) the IFRS 9 general approach is used, applying the Expected Credit Losses Model, which foresees calculating the financial asset value adjustments as the product of three variables: Exposure at Default (EAD), Loss Given Default (LGD) and the Probability of Default (PD).

For financial assets measured at amortized cost, considered to have acceptable credit risk, the ECLs are based on the 12-month ECLs. However, when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since origination, the allowance is based on the lifetime ECLs.

Cash and cash equivalents

2.14. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less. The statement of cash flows has been prepared according to the indirect method by making adjustments to reconcile operating profit with cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities.

Receivables

2.15. Receivables

A receivable represents the Group and Parent Company's right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due).

The Group and the Parent Company split trade receivable balances in two portfolios based on a business model.

  • Trade receivables from contracts with customers within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows are accounted at amortized cost and reviewed for impairment;

  • Trade receivables from contracts with customers held with the only objective of selling the financial assets are accounted for at FVTPL.

For receivables, the Group and the Parent Company measure the ECLs based on the historical data for the last 3 years, and where the historical data are not available, make assumptions.

Factoring

Proceeds received in accordance with factoring agreements are recognized as liability to the factor when the Group or the Parent Company remain exposed to credit risk associated with the respective debtor. When credit risk remains with the factor, the proceeds are netted against the respective debtor balance. For the existing factoring agreements, the Group and the Parent Company only recognize the portion of the receivable that is not factorized in their statement of financial position - usually 10%.

Considering that the 10% repayment is usually done within a period of 2-3 months, the time value of money does not significantly affect the fair value of the remaining receivable.

During 2022 approximately 69 % of sales were made using factoring arrangement.

Revenue recognition

2.16. Revenue recognition

The Group and the Parent Company have concluded that the performance obligation for provided services is exercised over time.

2.16.1. Sale of goods and services

The Group sells the following products: data network infrastructure, industrial products, Internet of Things, optics and photonics products.

The Group and the Parent Company recognizes revenue from sale of goods and services over time because the goods and services delivered to the clients are highly customized to fulfil the customer needs, and it would take significant rework for the asset to be used alternatively. Moreover, Group and the Parent Company are also entitled for payment of any products made to date. Trade receivables are generally due in 30 - 90 days after delivery.

Due to the specifics of the production cycle of the Group and the Parent Company it is impracticable to reasonably measure the progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation. Therefore, the Group and the Parent Company are recognizing revenue to the extent of the costs incurred.

2.16.2. Volume rebates

The Group and the Parent Company provide retrospective volume rebates to certain customers once the quantity of products purchased during the period exceeds a threshold specified in the contra. Rebates are only applied to the aggregate amount of goods purchased in the relevant period (in one calendar month) and are not attributed to other periods.

2.16.3. Significant financing component

Generally, the Group and the Parent Company receive short-term advances from its customers. Using the practical expedient in IFRS 15, the Group and the Parent Company do not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if it expects, at contract inception, that the period between the transfer of the promised good or service to the customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.

In cases where the period exceeds one year, the transaction price for such contracts is discounted, using the rate that would be reflected in a separate financing transaction between the Group and its customers at contract inception, to take into consideration the significant financing component.

2.16.4. Principal company and agent

In most cases the Group operates as a principal in providing production services to the clients. However, in some cases, the Group and the Parent Company receives from its customers materials that are used in manufacturing the products ordered by customers and returned to customers. These materials are owned by customers and are only intended for executing a particular customer order, the Group and the Parent Company accepts them only for processing. The cost of the materials belonging to customers is recorded off-balance sheet as the Group and the Parent Company does not have the ability to direct the use of the materials or obtain benefits from them.

2.16.5. Contract assets

A contract asset is initially recognized for revenue earned from services because the receipt of consideration is conditional on successful completion of the installation. Upon completion of the installation and acceptance by the customer, the amount recognized as contract assets is reclassified to trade receivables. Expected credit loss are recognized for contract assets.

2.16.6. Contract liabilities (prepayments received under contracts with customers)

A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Group and the Parent Company have received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before the Group and the Parent Company transfer goods or services to the customer, a contract liability is recognized when the payment is made, or the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue when the Group and the Parent Company perform under the contract.

2.16.7. Income from investments

The Group and the Parent Company recognize income from investments (dividends) only when the right to receive the payment is established.

Distribution of dividends

2.17. Distribution of dividends

Dividends payable to the shareholder of the Parent Company are recognized as a liability in the financial statements for the period the shareholder of the Parent Company has authorized thereof.

Taxes

2.18. Taxes

2.18.1. Corporate income tax

Legal entities have not been required to pay income tax on earned profits starting from 1 January 2018 in accordance with amendments made to the Corporate Income Tax Law of the Republic of Latvia. Corporate income tax is paid on distributed profits and deemed profit distributions. Consequently, current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rate applicable to undistributed profits. Starting from 1 January 2018, both distributed profits and deemed profit distributions have been subject to the tax rate of 20 per cent of their gross amount, or 20/80 of net expense. Corporate income tax on dividends is recognized in the profit or loss as expense in the reporting period when respective dividends are declared, while as regards other deemed profit items, at the time when expense is incurred in the reporting year.

Income tax expense is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income, in which case it is recognized in equity or other comprehensive income.

2.18.2. Deferred corporate income tax

Deferred tax is provided using the liability method for all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying value for accounting purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized, or the liability is settled, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.

Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Corporate income tax on dividends and deferred income tax expense on dividends of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are reported in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

2.18.3. Value Added Tax

Expenses and assets are recognized net of the amount of value added tax, except:

  • When value added tax incurred on a purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case, value added tax is recognized as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item, as applicable,

  • When receivables and payables are stated with the amount of value added tax included.

The net amount of value added tax recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.

Earnings per share

2.19. Earnings per share

Earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit after taxation for the year by the average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year. The average number of shares in issue during the year is weighted to consider the timing of the issue of new shares.

Share-based payment

2.20. Share-based payment

Under the Senior Executive Plan (SEP), share options of the Parent are granted to senior executives of the Parent with more than 12 months' service, given that these senior executives meet their individual or company key performance indicators. The exercise price of the share options is equal to the market price of the underlying shares on the date of grant. The share options vest within three years from the date of grant and the senior executive remains employed on such date.

The fair value of the share options is estimated using the price noted in the issuance regulations of 6.53 EUR. The fair value of the options, determined at the grant date, is expensed over the vesting period, creating equity reserve for SEP share options. Cost is recognized as employee benefits expense, together with a corresponding increase in equity (other capital reserves), over the period in which the service and, where applicable, the performance conditions are fulfilled (the vesting period).

The share options can be exercised without term limitations, after the three-year vesting period. There are no cash settlement alternatives. SEP after the vesting period is entitled to receive HansaMatrix shares free of charge. The Group accounts for the SEP as an equity-settled plan.

Subsequent events

2.21. Subsequent events

Post-year-end events that provide additional information about the Group's and Parent Company's position at the balance sheet data (adjusting events) are reflected in the financial statements. Post-year-end events that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the notes when material.

2.22 Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, and disclosure of contingencies. The significant areas of judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements relate to capitalization of development costs, useful life of fixed assets, allowances for doubtful receivables and inventories and contract assets, and impairment evaluation. Although these estimates are based on the management's best knowledge of current events and actions, the actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates.

The Group has assessed the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the financial statement, including the assumption of the Group's ability to continue its activities. The management believes that the situation will not affect the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, as it has not had any significant operational disruptions so far, except for the global deficit of electronic components, and such are not expected in the future, moreover, the Group has a large enough balance of cash and cash equivalents, as well as liquid assets to overcome the difficulties caused by short-term fluctuations in cash flows, should they arise as a result of the situation caused by COVID-19.

The following are the critical judgments and key estimates concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty which exist at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities during the next reporting period:

2.22.1. Carrying amount of property, plant and equipment (at cost)

The Group's management reviews the carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment and assesses whether any indications exist that the assets' recoverable amounts are lower than their carrying amounts. The Group's management calculates and records an impairment loss on property, plant and equipment based on the estimates related to the expected future use, planned disposal or sale of the assets. Considering the planned volumes of economic activities and possible fair values of the assets, Group's management considers that, except for those included in the financial statements, no significant adjustments to the carrying values of property, plant and equipment are necessary (Note 17 and Note 10).

2.22.2. Revaluation of property, plant and equipment

The revaluation of certain fixed assets of the Group (Real Estate-Buildings and Land) is carried out externally, by certified valuers using the revenue method. The valuation is carried out according to property valuation standards and in accordance with IFRS 13 Fair Value, based on the existing use of fixed assets that is considered the best and most efficient. The real estate was revalued as at 31 December 2021 (Note 30). On December 31, 2022, the management of the Group evaluated possible fluctuations in the fair value of the real estate and determined that repeated revaluation is not necessary.

2.22.3. Expected credit loss

For receivables, the Group and the Parent Company measure the ECLs based on the historical data for the last 3 years, and where the historical data are not available, make assumptions using the following matrix:

Absence status Applied credit loss %
No delays 0,3%
Delayed 1-30 days 1%
Delayed 31-60 days 5%
Delayed 61-90 days 10%
Delayed 91-120 days 15%
Delayed 121-180 days 40%
Delayed 181-270 days 70%
More than 270 days late 100%

Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

2.22.4. Investment in an associate – classification

The Parent Company shall assess whether it has control or significant influence over its investments and classify them accordingly as investments in the subsidiaries, investments in associates or other investments.

According to this assessment, the Group has established that, although the Group owns more than 50% of the voting shares, it does not have control over SIA Lightspace Technologies, because according to the corporate governance documents of this company all relevant decisions regarding SIA Lightspace Technologies cannot be taken by the representative of the Group in the Supervisory Board alone, as well as the Group's ownership share in Lightspace Technologies does not allow the Group on its own to change the composition of the Supervisory Board of Lightspace Technologies in order to have it under the full control of the Group.

2.22.5. Investment in SIA Lightspace technologies / AS Lightspace Holding – recoverable value

The recoverable value of the Parent company's investment in Lightspace Holding/Lightspace technologies is determined based on the values of one part of the company applied in June 2022 for the investment of the convertible loans of third parties unrelated to the Group in the equity capital of Lightspace technologies. As SIA "Lightspace Technologies" is engaged in the development, production and sale of an innovative product, the most appropriate method of determining the value of the investment is actual market transactions for investments in the company's equity capital.

2.22.6. Deferred tax assets and liabilities

The management of the Group has decided not to distribute the subsidiaries' profit in dividends until 30 June 2024. The Group prepares high level development plan for the next 5 years, which does not provide for the payment of dividends in the foreseeable future. The Group's profit is intended to be used for repayment of credit liabilities and investments both for the renewal of the Group's production equipment and for the digitization of the processes. The Parent Company controls the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and believes that the latter will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax liabilities arising from the subsidiaries profit are not recognized in the Group's financial statements. No deferred tax liability arises from investments in associate as up to the date there are no profits to be distributed..

2.22.7. Determination of the lease term

The Group determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any periods covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised. In addition the Group applies its reasonable expectations to determine the period during which the underlying asset will be used, by considering: the broader economics of the contract, and not only contractual termination payments (e.g. if either party has an economic incentive not to terminate the lease such that it would incur a penalty on termination that is more than insignificant, the contract is enforceable beyond the date on which the contract can be terminated) and whether each of the parties has the right to terminate the lease without permission from the other party with no more than an insignificant penalty (if only one party has the right to terminate the lease without permission from the other party with no more than an insignificant penalty, the contract is enforceable beyond the date on which the contract can be terminated by that party).

2.22.8. Recognition of revenue over time

As the Group and the Parent Company are manufacturing products that are highly customized to fulfill the customer needs, and it would take significant rework for the asset to be used alternatively, the performance creates an asset that the customer controls as the asset is created and finally the Group and the Parent Company are also entitled to payment for the performance completed; the revenue is recognized over time.

2.22.9 Development costs

The Group capitalizes costs for product development projects. Initial capitalization of costs is based on management's judgement that technological and economic feasibility is confirmed, usually when a product development project has reached a defined milestone according to an established project management model. In determining the amounts to be capitalized, management makes assumptions regarding the expected future cash generation of the project and the expected future benefits.

Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

2.22.10 Segments

Reportable segments are operating segments or their aggregation which meet certain criteria. No less frequently than once a year, the Group and the Parent Company assess and identify all potential business segments and determine whether these segments should be accounted for separately. The Company reports the segment if it contributes 10% or more of the entity's total sales (combining internal and inter-segment sales), earns 10% or more of the combined reported profit of all operating segments that did not report a loss (or 10% or more of the combined reported loss of all operating segments that reported a loss), or has 10% or more of the combined assets of all operating segments.

The Group and the Parent Company have one business segment, i.e. the manufacturing services, on which specific financial information is available that is regularly assessed by key decision-makers to allocate resources and evaluate the performance of this segment. In addition to segment reporting, the Group and the Parent Company also disclose the sales results by main market sectors – data network infrastructure products, the Internet of Things, industrial products and other as well as by geographical market sectors.

2.22.11 Useful lives of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment

The residual value and the useful life of an asset is reviewed at least at each financial year-end and, if expectations differ from previous estimates, any change is accounted for prospectively as a change in estimate under IAS 8.

Considering the decrease in the production volume and intensity of the use of property, plant and equipment in recent years, in 2019 the Group reviewed the useful lives of the assets and concluded that part of fully depreciated assets is still in active use. A number of assets that have been fully depreciated are still in active use. Please see Note 16 and 17.

Correction of prior period error

3.2. Correction of prior period error

In 2022, the management of the Group/Mother company determined that it is necessary to make corrections to the previously recognized losses from the participation in Lightspace Technologies SIA. The correction applies only to the Group's data. The 2021 annual report of the Group's associate company SIA Lightspace Technologies was approved after the submission of the 2021 annual report of the Group, as a result of which the losses recognized by the Group from the participation in SIA Lightspace technologies decreased by 132 thousand. EUR.

As of December 31, 2021, the Group had not fulfilled the terms (covenants) of a long-term loan issued by a credit institution.

The Group at least once a year evaluates whether there is any indication that non-current assets are impaired. If any such indication exists, the Group performs an impairment test to evaluate the possible impairment need.

As at December 31, 2022, the Group's management assessed the external factors (changes in economic and regulatory environment, market composition, interest rates, etc.) and the internal factors (changes in the purpose of use and useful life of assets, cash flow generation capacity of assets, etc.) that might impact the value of non-current assets. Based on the assessment performed, management has concluded that there are no indications of impairment of non-current assets as at December 31, 2022, except for impairment of construction in progress and land (see Note 10).

A number of assets that have been fully depreciated are still in active use. The total original cost value of these assets as at the end of the year was as follows:

Real estate revaluation

Revaluation is carried out regularly (not less than once every 5 years) to ensure that the carrying amount of real estate (land and buildings) does not differ significantly from that which would be determined using fair value at the end of the reporting period. Reassessment is carried out by certified valuators.

If land and building value were to be determined using a cost model, the carrying amount would be as follows:

Participation of the Parent company in EU projects

During the reporting period, HansaMatrix, based on strategic considerations, informed the Central Finance and Contracts Agency (CFCA) and discontinued the financing of the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) "Development of experimental production of 3D volumetric imaging equipment and its components" of the Specific Objective 1.2.1 "Increase private sector investment in R&D" of the Operational Program "Growth and Job". As a result, the CFCA has informed HansaMatrix about the repayment of the EU funding received in connection with this project in the amount of EUR 748 thousand with a repayment deadline of December 1, 2024. The investments related to this project have mostly been made in production facilities, so HansaMatrix will assess the need and possibilities to refinance these liabilities in one of the credit institutions.

45. Financial risk management

The Group and Parent Company's principal financial instruments comprise loans from credit institutions, leases, cash and short-term deposits. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to ensure financing for the Group and Parent Company's operations. The Group and the Parent Company have various other financial instruments such as trade and other receivables and trade and other payables, which arise directly from its operations. The activities of the Group and the Parent Company expose them to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign currency risk and interest rate risk), liquidity risk, credit risk and cash flow risk. The Group's financial management identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close co-operation with the Group's operating units.

Foreign currency risk

The Group's financial assets and liabilities, which are exposed to foreign currency risk, comprise cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and trade payables. The Group is mainly exposed to foreign currency risk of the U.S. dollar. In order to control foreign currency risk, trade receivables which can be potentially exposed to this risk are managed in accordance with the appropriate pricing policy. The Group is mainly exposed to foreign currency risk of the U.S. dollar (USD). The objective of the Group's financial risk management is to hedge currency risk of all expected cash flows in foreign currencies (for capital investments or purchases of materials and raw materials) that may give rise to significant currency risk.

Currency risk as at 31 December 2022 and 31 December 2021 can be specified as follows:

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in the market interest rates. The Group and the Parent Company are exposed to cash flow interest rate risk mainly in relation to borrowings with floating interest rates as the finance costs increase significantly with the interest rate growing.

The Group is exposed to interest rate risk mainly through its current and non-current borrowings. The average interest rate payable on the Group's borrowings is disclosed in Note 31.

The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates, with all other variables held constant, of the Group's profit before tax (through the impact on mainly EURIBOR floating rate borrowings). There is no impact on the equity, except for the effect on the current year result.

Interest rate sensitivity for the Group and the Parent Company may be specified as follows.

Liquidity risk

The Group's liquidity and cash flow risk management objective is to maintain an adequate amount of cash and cash equivalents and the availability of non-current and current borrowings through access to sufficient credit amounts to meet the existing and expected liabilities. The Group manages its liquidity risk by arranging an adequate amount of committed credit facilities with banks, planning of terms of payment of trade payables, developing and analyzing future cash flows comprising both the existing and planned loans and interest on such loans.

Liquidity ratios are disclosed in Note 47.

Credit risk

The Group is exposed to credit risk through its trade receivables, issued current loans, as well as cash and cash equivalents. The Group manages its credit risk by continuously assessing the credit history of customers and assigning credit terms on an individual basis. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis to ensure that the Group's exposure to bad debts is minimized.

Capital management

The Group's objective is to maximize the return on capital to the companies' shareholders and by retaining a sound capital structure to maintain the credibility of creditors, customers and market participants as well as to ensure sustainable operations. The primary task of the Group's capital management is to ensure that the Group maintains a strong credit rating and healthy capital ratios to support its business and increase the shareholder value. The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions.

The Group and the Parent Company monitor the capital adequacy by calculating the equity-toasset ratio:

Geopolitical risk

A small part of the Group's turnover consists of revenues from the sale of products outside the European Union, while the supply of electronics components is significantly related to Asian manufacturers, which constitutes the Group's geopolitical risk. The global electronics manufacturing services market is primarily affected by the U.S.-China "trade war" and the rise of geopolitical pines between the U.S. and China. The increased U.S. import tariffs on Chinese-made electronics products in the U.S. market give a good advantage to Eastern European electronic system manufacturers. On the other hand, the "trade war" slows down the economy and reduces investment in infrastructure. In turn, the Russia-Ukraine conflict may affect and exacerbate the global semiconductor shortage and extend delivery times. The situation is not stable and can change at any moment. Additional risks are associated with political and security risks in some Asian countries, where companies may face social unrest, government changes, natural disasters and terrorist attacks, which can lead to losses to business and disruptions. The Group is keeping up with geopolitics changes and is well on responding to them by adjusting its business model.

Fair value

Assets stated at revalued amounts are revalued property, plant and equipment items (Note 30), which are revalued on non-recurring basis (once every five years) and would be classified under Level 3.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

  • Cash and short-term deposits, trade receivables, trade payables and other current liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
  • The fair value of the loans and borrowings has been calculated by discounting the expected future cash flows at prevailing interest rates, which are based on Level 2 measurement. No material difference between book value and fair value has been recognized.

47. Going concern

As of 31 December 2022, the Group's working capital (current assets) amounted to EUR 12,858 million, including a cash balance of EUR 740 thousand. The Group's liquidity ratio for the years 2018-2022 shown in the table below indicates the Group's ability to effectively manage its current assets (i.e. the ability to ensure the availability of resources for doing business with less current assets). The liquidity ratio as of the end of 2022 has deteriorated in principle due to the reclassification of EIB financing into short-term liabilities.

Year 31.12.2018 31.12.2019 31.12.2020 31.12.2021 31.12.2022
Liquidity ratio 1,0 0,8 0,8 0,7 0,6

The Group's management has prepared a budget and cash flow forecast for 2023, providing the Group with the necessary operational financing, as well as planned investment flows. Further development of the situation in the business environment may differ from the Group's management forecasts. In the Group's cash flow and liquidity forecast For 2023 Used the following main Assumptions:

  • The positive market trend of growing demand in the data network and industrial sectors continues in 2023. Neither the business environment nor the market in both the EU and Latvia is undergoing significant structural changes;
  • In 2023, the Group continues to serve existing customers and attract new customers;
  • The Group invests in fixed assets in order to maintain the equipment in accordance with the established standards and to ensure the maintenance of the existing production capacity and, if necessary, the increase of production capacity;
  • In 2023, working capital is financed and increased from the Group's operating cash flows. Taking into account the reduction of the global deficit of components and the active work of the Group in attracting new customers, in 2023 an increase in the cash flow of the Group's economic activity can be expected compared to 2022.
  • In December 2022, HansaMatrix signed agreements with SEB bank and SEB leasing on the extension of factoring, overdraft, guarantee line, reverse factoring and credit terms until November 30, 2023 for a total amount of EUR 5.92 million, which are used for investment, working capital financing and economic activity needs, including export transactions.
  • Liabilities incurred as a result of tax deferrals to provide liquidity due to COVID-19 and the business impact of the global component deficit are planned to continue to be gradually reduced in 2023.
  • During the reporting period, HansaMatrix informed the CFCA on the basis of strategic considerations and stopped the implementation of the ERDF project "Development of experimental production of volumetric threedimensional imaging equipment and its components". As a result, the CFCA has informed HansaMatrix about the repayment of the EU funding received in connection with this project in the amount of EUR 748 thousand with a repayment deadline of December 1, 2024. The investments related to this project have mostly been made in production facilities, so HansaMatrix will assess the need and possibilities to refinance these liabilities in one of the credit institutions as an opportunity to improve liquidity.
  • Principal payments for existing long-term loans in SEB banka are amortized in accordance with the standard agreed repayment schedules.
  • In 2023, it is planned to reach an agreement with the EIB and SEB on extending the terms of the existing financing. It is planned that a significant part of the EIB's funding by the end of 2023 will be able to be classified as long-term liabilities, significantly improving the Group's liquidity ratio.

112 In the second quarter of 2023, the Parent company's loan SIA "Macro Rīga" has been fully repaid. The loan repayment of SIA "Macro Rīga" was made from the funds received from Baltcap company SIA "Emsco" for the sale of HansaMatrix shares.

2. Accounting policy related to taxonomy regulation 2020/852

The specification of the KPIs is determined in accordance with Annex I to the Delegated Regulation 2021/2178. We determine the Taxonomy-eligible KPIs in accordance with the legal requirements and describe the accounting policy in this regard as follows:

4.1 Turnover KPI

The proportion of Taxonomy-eligible economic activities in total turnover has been calculated as the part of net turnover derived from products and services associated with Taxonomy-eligible economic activities (numerator) divided by the net turnover (denominator). The denominator of the turnover KPI is based on the consolidated net turnover, for further details on the accounting policies regarding the consolidated net turnover, please see the Note 2.18 to Financial statements 2022.

With regard to the numerator, we have not identified any Taxonomy-eligible activities, as explained above.

4.2 Capex KPI

The Capex KPI is defined as Taxonomy-eligible Capex (numerator) divided by the total Capex (denominator).

Total Capex consists of additions to tangible and intangible fixed assets during the financial year, before depreciation, amortisation and any re-measurements, including those resulting from revaluations and impairments, as well as excluding changes in fair value. It includes additions to fixed assets (IAS 16), intangible assets (IAS 38) and right-ofuse assets (IFRS 16). Additions resulting from business combinations are also included. Goodwill is not included in Capex, because it is not defined as an intangible asset in accordance with IAS 38. For further details on the accounting policies regarding Capex, please see the Note 2.4. – 2.7. to Financial statement 2022.

4.3 Operational costs

The Opex KPI is defined as Taxonomy-eligible Opex (numerator) divided by total Opex (denominator). With regard to the numerator, we refer to the explanations below.

Total Opex consists of direct non-capitalized costs that relate to research and development, building renovation measures, short-term lease, maintenance and repair, and any other direct expenditures relating to the day-to-day servicing of assets of property, plant and equipment. This includes:

  • Research and development expenditure recognized as an expense during the reporting period in the income statement (please see the Note 2.6 to Financial statements 2021). In line with the consolidated financial statements (IAS 38.126), this includes all non-capitalized expenditure that is directly attributable to research or development activities.
  • The volume of non-capitalized leases was determined in accordance with IFRS 16 and includes expenses for shortterm leases and low-value leases (please see the Note 2.11 to Financial statements 2022). Even though low-value leases are not explicitly mentioned in the Delegated Regulation 2021/2178, we have interpreted the legislation as to include these leases.
  • Maintenance and repair and other direct expenditures relating to the day-to-day servicing of assets of property, plant and equipment were determined based on the maintenance and repair costs allocated to the internal cost centers. The related cost items can be found in various line items in the income statement, including production costs (maintenance in operations), sales and distribution cost (maintenance logistics) and administration cost (such as maintenance of IT-systems). This also includes building renovation measures.

In general, this includes personnel costs, costs for services, and material costs for daily servicing as well as for regular and unplanned maintenance and repair measures.

These costs are directly allocated to property, plant and equipment. This does not include expenses relating to the dayto-day operation of property, plant and equipment such as: raw materials, costs of employees operating the machinery, and electricity or fluid that are necessary to operate property, plant and equipment.
