CEO's comments

I want to extend my warmest thanks to our customers, partners, and shareholders for their trust in Incap. Incap achieved in year 2022 all-time high revenue and profitability. Considering that the material availability remained difficult throughout the year, team Incap's performance was particularly strong, and I want to thank our fantastic employees for their hard work.

We ended 2022 with another strong quarter with revenue of EUR 78.7 million, and our full year 2022 revenue reached EUR 263.8 million, which was 55% more than in 2021. Our profitability remained on a good level with a full year EBIT of 14.8 per cent of revenue.

Our strong growth was driven by the demand for electronics from existing and new customers, alltime-high orderbook and supported with our earlier investments in capacity in our factories. In particular, we saw growth in industrial electronics, green energy and green mobility. Relative profitability remained on a good level thanks to our efficient and cost-effective operational model and favourable product mix.

How companies operate has become increasingly important and we would like to see more and more companies aiming at sustainable operations. Therefore, we see the increasing ESG reporting requirements as positive developments and for our part, we are committed to continue developing our own operations in a sustainable way. In 2022, we further developed our corporate responsibility and reporting. Our goal is to start reporting the CO2 emissions of our business.

In November, we held our first Capital Markets Day. It was great to meet so many current and potential

future shareholders in person. We will continue developing our investor relations by means of open and versatile communications.

The construction of our third factory in India is being finalised and the production ramp-up will begin at the end of the first quarter 2023 as planned.

There is still some uncertainty in the market when entering 2023. As component availability and lead times keep improving, we expect that visibility will come down to more normal levels as customers don't need to place orders so much in advance. With components available equally for all on the market, we expect competition to increase in many segments.

The long-term perspective for EMS business remains positive. We expect our organic growth to continue in 2023 but with a more modest pace, improving our cashflow and giving us possibility to reduce our inventory levels.

Our financial position remains solid. We remain committed to actively invest in our operations and develop them. In line with our growth strategy, we focus even more on pursuing M&A.

Our estimate is that our revenue, operating profit and adjusted operating profit in 2023 will be higher than in 2022. We are convinced that our decentralised operational model and our committed team will help to maintain the good level of profitability also in the future.

Otto Pukk, President and CEO of Incap Corporation

Business environment

The overall demand and market activity in the electronics manufacturing services (EMS) industry continued at a good level despite Russia's war against Ukraine and lockdowns in China which continued to affect global business environment. The rising general inflation and cost of manufacturing as well as constrained component availability continued. Incap works closely with its suppliers and customers to keep adequate inventory levels to mitigate the risks.

In the electronics manufacturing services industry, customers continue to be very price-conscious and expect that their manufacturing partners continuously increase their efficiency and stay competitive. Incap sees that the ability to quickly adapt to changes is a key success factor in the electronics industry today and in the future. That ability is necessary in developing and implementing

In the longer term, the growth in electronics manufacturing services is driven by the growing use of electronics supported with megatrends such as digitalisation. The increasing need for sustainable energy solutions, medical equipment, emerging 5G and IoT ecosystems and the proliferation of electric vehicles contribute to the demand growth.

Incap's Board of Directors resolved to approve the share subscriptions made after the terms of the CEO's incentive plan were fulfilled. The new shares of the company subscribed for in the share issues may not be sold, otherwise transferred or pledged during one year from the time the new shares of the company subscribed acceptably for in the share issues have been entered in the Finnish Trade Register.

Long-term key employee incentive plan

On 27 April 2022, the Board of Directors of Incap Corporation decided to establish a new long-term incentive plan for the Group´s key employees. The aim of the plan is to align the objectives of the shareholders and key employees for increasing the value of the company in the long term, to retain the key employees at the company, and to offer them a competitive reward plan based on acquiring, earning and accumulating the company´s shares.

The long-term Performance Share Plan is based on a rolling 3-year performance period structure, with a new performance period starting at the beginning of each year if so decided by the Board.

In the plan, the target group is given an opportunity to earn Incap's shares based on performance. The

Board of Directors decides on the plan's performance criteria and targets to be set for each criterion at the beginning of each performance period. The potential rewards based on the plan will be paid after the end of each performance period.

The rewards will be paid partly in the company´s shares and partly in cash. The cash proportion of the reward is intended to cover the taxes and statutory social security contributions arising from the reward to a participant. In general, no reward is paid if the participant´s employment or director contract terminates before the reward payment.

During the performance period 2022–2024, the rewards are based on the Group's cumulative operating profit (EBIT). During the performance period 2022–2024, the CEO and other Incap Management Team members form the target group of the incentive plan.

The rewards to be paid on the basis of the performance period 2022–2024 correspond to the value of an approximate maximum total of 30,191 Incap Corporation shares, including also the proportion to be paid in cash.

Geopolitical tensions increased in Europe in 2022. Russia's war against Ukraine and the sanctions imposed on Russia in response are not expected to have a significant direct impact on the company. Cyber risks and disruptions in information systems can affect production.

Incap has no business operations and no direct or indirect customers or suppliers in Russia, Belarus or Ukraine. However, the changed operating environment may affect material availability and global logistics. Lockdowns in China may also have an impact on sourcing and logistics chains.

Customer risks

Demand for Incap's services and the company's financial position are affected by global economic trends and the fluctuation among customer industries. The risks connected with the customer demand and the solvency of customers are monitored and evaluated separately for each customer. As components become more available, Incap expects that the competition on its customers' markets will be tougher. The management considers customer relationship management to be of utmost importance and is paying special attention to it.

The company's sales are spread over several customer segments balancing out the impact of the economic fluctuation in different industrial sectors. In 2022, four biggest customers contributed to 74.3% (69.1%) of revenue. Out of the total customer base in 2022, 22 customers (21) exceeded EUR 1 million revenue.

Electronics manufacturing services is a highly competitive industry, with continuous pressure on cost level management. Incap has succeeded in increasing the efficiency of its operations and managing the costs.

Financial risks

The financial position of the company is good and the sufficiency of financing and working capital does not pose a significant risk.

In 2022, the company recorded credit loss provisions amounting to EUR 0.9 million and provisions for inventory write-offs amounting to EUR 0.3 million.

The value of the shares in subsidiaries in the parent company has a significant impact on the parent company's equity and therefore on, for example, equity ratio. Based on the impairment calculations in connection with the financial statements for 2022 and indicators as of 31 December 2022, there is no need for any write-down of the value of the shares in subsidiaries.

Main currencies used in Incap's operations are Euro, Indian rupee, British pound and US dollar. The

changes in the exchange rates between the currencies and the Euro may have a negative impact on Incap's revenue, equity ratio, result and financial position.

In a tax audit conducted by Indian tax authorities in 2018 regarding financial period 2015–2016, the deductibility of group costs is being investigated. Also the amounts of paid indirect taxes are being investigated in India. At the end of 2022, the Group had a total provision of EUR 1.6 million booked in accordance with IFRIC 23 (evaluation of uncertain tax positions). The cases are still under preliminary investigation, and if an agreement cannot be settled with a local tax authority, the company will take the matter to the next level of authority. Based on the company´s judgment, the current level of provision covers possible tax risks.

Significant events after the end of the period

After the reporting period, as of 1 February 2023, Margus Jakobson, interim Managing Director of Incap Estonia, was appointed member of Incap
