1. INTRODUCTION
Remuneration report (hereinafter – the "Report") of the members of the Management Board of Directors (hereinafter – the "Management Board" or "Board") and the Supervisory Council (hereinafter – the "Council") of the Stock Company HansaMatrix (hereinafter "HansaMatrix" or the "Company" or "the Group") for 2021 has been prepared in accordance with the Financial Instruments Market Law of the Republic of Latvia and HansaMatrix remuneration policy (hereinafter - the "Policy") for board and council members (hereinafter – "Directors"), approved by the decision of the shareholders' meeting of the Company of 22 May 2020 (Minutes No. 2020-SHM1).
HansaMatrix Group closed the year 2021 with a revenue from contracts with customers (hereinafter – revenue, sales or turnover) of EUR 21.96 million, decreasing by 2.77% compared to the EUR 22.59 million turnover reported in 2020.
In the reporting period, the Group EBITDA was EUR 3.732 million, showing a 23% increase in comparison with EUR 3.034 million in 2020; the net profit was negative EUR 1.952 million in comparison with the net loss of EUR 0.847 million in 2020.
For a better comparison of interim profitability, the Group calculates normalized profit, which in 2021 amounted to 0.928 million EUR and was 107% higher in comparison with the normalized profit of 0.449 million EUR in 2020.
Revenue decrease is explained by the ongoing global electronic component deficit. In the first 6 months of 2021, the Group successfully managed the risks of global component deficit and supply chains and achieved very good results, while in the second half of 2021 the availability of semiconductors significantly affected the Group's financial results. However, 2021 EBITDA growth is explained by comparably larger proportion of high added value products in manufactured product mix and growing demand in data networks and industrial sectors.
The Group's net profit in 2021 was negatively affected by a number of non-cash items, including changes in the fair value of investments in SIA Zinātnes parks, losses on investments in associates, changes in the fair value of EIB guarantees and EIB loans, and interest expenses related to leases.
The significant loss in 2021 is mainly explained by Groups assessment of the recoverable amount of investments in Zinātnes Parks SIA in the amount of 1.358 million EUR due to significantly increased construction costs of new industrial facilities, with losses from the associated company SIA Lightspace technologies, recognized in the Group's statement of comprehensive income for 2021 in the amount of 0.837 million EUR and also with the Group's fair value revaluation of convertible guarantee securities issued in relation to European Investment Bank (EIB) financing agreement due to the decrease in the weighted average market price of HansaMatrix, reducing the carrying amount of convertible guarantee securities. In total, in 2021, the fair value of the above security increased by 0.228 million. EUR, reducing the Group's net profit accordingly.
The fixed and variable remuneration paid to the Directors the Company in 2021 complies with the provisions of the Policy.
The remuneration report has been prepared by the Board of the Company and reviewed by the Council of the Company. The Report is examined by a sworn auditor and it is reviewed and is planned to be approved at the shareholders' meeting together with other components of the annual report.
