Through unconsolidated subsidiary UAB MD Partners the Company/the Group has indirectly invested into the largest Moldovan bank Moldova-Agroindbank (MAIB). 41.09% shares of MAIB were acquired by entity Heim Partners Limited. UAB MD Partners owns 37.5% of Heim Partners Limited shares and has entered into shareholders agreement with other shareholders: the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (37.5% of shares) (EBRD) and subsidiary of fund managed by Ukrainian private equity manager Horizon Capital (25% of shares). All these shareholders have obtained permission of the Moldovan central bank to indirectly acquire shares of MAIB. The Company owns 51.37% shares of UAB MD Partners. Therefore the Company effectively owns 19.26% of economic benefits from the indirectly investments into Heim Partners Limited and 7.91% of economic benefits from the indirectly investment into MAIB. UAB Litagra has to receive bank consent to pay dividends as at 31 December 2022 and 2021. Special Closed-Ended Type Real Estate Investment Company INVL Baltic Real Estate (hereinafter INVL Baltic Real Estate) has the right to pay dividends without bank consent only if the ratio of EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization) plus inflows and outflows from subsidiaries (dividends or repayment of granted loan and new granted loans) plus change for provision for the performance fee minus payable performance fee divided by the sum of debt service costs (interest and principal repayments) and dividends would be higher than 1.1.
2. Summary of significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies applied in preparing the Group’s and the Company’s financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022 are as follows:
2.1. Basis of preparation
Statement of compliance
The financial statements of the Company and the consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union (hereinafter the EU). These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, investments to unconsolidated subsidiaries and associates measured at fair value through profit or loss and assets of disposals group and associated liabilities classified as held for sale measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs. The financial statements are presented in thousands of euro (EUR) and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand except when otherwise indicated. From 1 January 2015 the euro became local currency of the Republic of Lithuania.
Adoption of new and/or changed IFRSs and IFRIC interpretations
The Group has adopted the new and amended IFRS and IFRIC interpretations as of 1 January 2022:
- Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2018-2020 cycle (amendments to IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, IFRS 16 Leases and IAS 41 Agriculture) and narrow scope amendments to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment, IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets and IFRS 3 Business Combinations (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022).
The principal effects of these changes are as follows:
Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2018-2020 cycle (amendments to IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, IFRS 16 Leases and IAS 41 Agriculture) and narrow scope amendments to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment, IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets and IFRS 3 Business Combinations
The amendment to IAS 16 prohibits an entity from deducting from the cost of an item of PPE any proceeds received from selling items produced while the entity is preparing the asset for its intended use.# AB INVALDA INVL, company code 121304349, Gynėjų str. 14, Vilnius, Lithuania CONSOLIDATED AND COMPANY’S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 (all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated)
2 Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d)
2.1 Basis of preparation (cont’d)
Adoption of new and/or changed IFRSs and IFRIC interpretations (cont’d)
The proceeds from selling such items, together with the costs of producing them, are now recognised in profit or loss. An entity will use IAS 2 to measure the cost of those items. Cost will not include depreciation of the asset being tested because it is not ready for its intended use. The amendment to IAS 16 also clarifies that an entity is ‘testing whether the asset is functioning properly’ when it assesses the technical and physical performance of the asset. The financial performance of the asset is not relevant to this assessment. An asset might therefore be capable of operating as intended by management and subject to depreciation before it has achieved the level of operating performance expected by management. The amendment to IAS 37 clarifies the meaning of ‘costs to fulfil a contract’. The amendment explains that the direct cost of fulfilling a contract comprises the incremental costs of fulfilling that contract; and an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling. The amendment also clarifies that, before a separate provision for an onerous contract is established, an entity recognises any impairment loss that has occurred on assets used in fulfilling the contract, rather than on assets dedicated to that contract. IFRS 3 was amended to refer to the 2018 Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting, in order to determine what constitutes an asset or a liability in a business combination. Prior to the amendment, IFRS 3 referred to the 2001 Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting. In addition, a new exception in IFRS 3 was added for liabilities and contingent liabilities. The exception specifies that, for some types of liabilities and contingent liabilities, an entity applying IFRS 3 should instead refer to IAS 37 or IFRIC 21, rather than the 2018 Conceptual Framework. Without this new exception, an entity would have recognised some liabilities in a business combination that it would not recognise under IAS 37. Therefore, immediately after the acquisition, the entity would have had to derecognise such liabilities and recognise a gain that did not depict an economic gain. It was also clarified that the acquirer should not recognise contingent assets, as defined in IAS 37, at the acquisition date. The amendment to IFRS 9 addresses which fees should be included in the 10% test for derecognition of financial liabilities. Costs or fees could be paid to either third parties or the lender. Under the amendment, costs or fees paid to third parties will not be included in the 10% test. Illustrative Example 13 that accompanies IFRS 16 was amended to remove the illustration of payments from the lessor relating to leasehold improvements. The reason for the amendment is to remove any potential confusion about the treatment of lease incentives.
IFRS 1 allows an exemption if a subsidiary adopts IFRS at a later date than its parent. The subsidiary can measure its assets and liabilities at the carrying amounts that would be included in its parent’s consolidated financial statements, based on the parent’s date of transition to IFRS, if no adjustments were made for consolidation procedures and for the effects of the business combination in which the parent acquired the subsidiary. IFRS 1 was amended to allow entities that have taken this IFRS 1 exemption to also measure cumulative translation differences using the amounts reported by the parent, based on the parent’s date of transition to IFRS. The amendment to IFRS 1 extends the above exemption to cumulative translation differences, in order to reduce costs for first-time adopters. This amendment will also apply to associates and joint ventures that have taken the same IFRS 1 exemption. The requirement for entities to exclude cash flows for taxation when measuring fair value under IAS 41 was removed. This amendment is intended to align with the requirement in the standard to discount cash flows on a post-tax basis. The amendments to existing standards are not relevant to the Group and the Company.
Standards adopted by the EU but not yet effective
Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2: Disclosure of Accounting policies (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023). IAS 1 was amended to require companies to disclose their material accounting policy information rather than their significant accounting policies. The amendment provided the definition of material accounting policy information. The amendment also clarified that accounting policy information is expected to be material if, without it, the users of the financial statements would be unable to understand other material information in the financial statements. The amendment provided illustrative examples of accounting policy information that is likely to be considered material to the entity’s financial statements. Further, the amendment to IAS 1 clarified that immaterial accounting policy information need not be disclosed. However, if it is disclosed, it should not obscure material accounting policy information. To support this amendment, IFRS Practice Statement 2, ‘Making Materiality Judgements’ was also amended to provide guidance on how to apply the concept of materiality to accounting policy disclosures. The Group and the Company is currently revisiting their accounting policy information disclosures to ensure consistency with the amended requirements.
Amendments to IAS 8: Definition of Accounting Estimates (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023). The amendments to IAS 8 clarified how companies should distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates. The amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the Group’s and the Company’s financial statements.
IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts and amendments to IFRS 17 (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023). IFRS 17 replaces IFRS 4, which has given companies dispensation to carry on accounting for insurance contracts using existing practices. As a consequence, it was difficult for investors to compare and contrast the financial performance of otherwise similar insurance companies. IFRS 17 is a single principle-based standard to account for all types of insurance contracts, including reinsurance contracts that an insurer holds. The standard requires recognition and measurement of groups of insurance contracts at: (i) a risk-adjusted present value of the future cash flows (the fulfilment cash flows) that incorporates all of the available information about the fulfilment cash flows in a way that is consistent with observable market information; plus (if this value is a liability) or minus (if this value is an asset) (ii) an amount representing the unearned profit in the group of contracts (the contractual service margin). Insurers will be recognising the profit from a group of insurance contracts over the period they provide insurance coverage, and as they are released from risk. If a group of contracts is or becomes loss-making, an entity will be recognising the loss immediately.

IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts and amendments to IFRS 17 (cont’d)
The amendments include a number of clarifications intended to ease implementation of IFRS 17, simplify some requirements of the standard and transition. The amendments relate to eight areas of IFRS 17, and they are not intended to change the fundamental principles of the standard. The following amendments to IFRS 17 were made:
* Effective date: The effective date of IFRS 17 (incorporating the amendments) has been deferred by two years to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023.
* Expected recovery of insurance acquisition cash flows: An entity is required to allocate part of the acquisition costs to related expected contract renewals, and to recognise those costs as an asset until the entity recognises the contract renewals. Entities are required to assess the recoverability of the asset at each reporting date, and to provide specific information about the asset in the notes to the financial statements.
* Contractual service margin attributable to investment services: Coverage units should be identified, considering the quantity of benefits and expected period of both insurance coverage and investment services, for contracts under the variable fee approach and for other contracts with an ‘investment-return service’ under the general model. Costs related to investment activities should be included as cash flows within the boundary of an insurance contract, to the extent that the entity performs such activities to enhance benefits from insurance coverage for the policyholder.
* Reinsurance contracts held – recovery of losses: When an entity recognises a loss on initial recognition of an onerous group of underlying insurance contracts, or on addition of onerous underlying contracts to a group, an entity should adjust the contractual service margin of a related group of reinsurance contracts held and recognise a gain on the reinsurance contracts held.# AB INVALDA INVL

(all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated)

2.1 Basis of preparation (cont’d)
Standards adopted by the EU but not yet effective (cont’d)
Amendments to IFRS 17: Transition option to insurers applying IFRS 17 (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023).
The amendment to the transition requirements in IFRS 17 provides insurers with an option aimed at improving the usefulness of information to investors on initial application of IFRS 17. The amendment relates to insurers’ transition to IFRS 17 only and does not affect any other requirements in IFRS 17. The transition requirements in IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 apply at different dates and will result in the following one-time classification differences in the comparative information presented on initial application of IFRS 17:
- accounting mismatches between insurance contract liabilities measured at current value and any related financial assets measured at amortised cost; and
- if an entity chooses to restate comparative information for IFRS 9, classification differences between financial assets derecognised in the comparative period (to which IFRS 9 will not apply) and other financial assets (to which IFRS 9 will apply).
The amendment will help insurers to avoid these temporary accounting mismatches and, therefore, will improve the usefulness of comparative information for investors. It does this by providing insurers with an option for the presentation of comparative information about financial assets. When initially applying IFRS 17, entities would, for the purpose of presenting comparative information, be permitted to apply a classification overlay to a financial asset for which the entity does not restate IFRS 9 comparative information. The transition option would be available, on an instrument-by-instrument basis; allow an entity to present comparative information as if the classification and measurement requirements of IFRS 9 had been applied to that financial asset, but not require an entity to apply the impairment requirements of IFRS 9; and require an entity that applies the classification overlay to a financial asset to use reasonable and supportable information available at the transition date to determine how the entity expects that financial asset to be classified applying IFRS 9.
Amendments would not impact financial statements of the Group and the Company, as described above regarding impact of IFRS 17.
Amendments to IAS 12: Deferred tax related to assets and liabilities arising from a single transaction (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023).
The amendments to IAS 12 specify how to account for deferred tax on transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations. In specified circumstances, entities are exempt from recognising deferred tax when they recognise assets or liabilities for the first time. Previously, there had been some uncertainty about whether the exemption applied to transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations – transactions for which both an asset and a liability are recognised. The amendments clarify that the exemption does not apply and that entities are required to recognise deferred tax on such transactions. The amendments require companies to recognise deferred tax on transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal amounts of taxable and deductible temporary differences. The Group and the Company are accounted for leases consistent with the new requirements, Therefore, the Group and the Company would be not affected by the amendments.
Standards not yet adopted by the EU
Amendments to IAS 1: Classification of liabilities as current or non-current (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024 once adopted by the EU).
These amendments clarify that liabilities are classified as either current or non-current, depending on the rights that exist at the end of the reporting period. Liabilities are non-current if the entity has a substantive right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement for at least twelve months. The guidance no longer requires such a right to be unconditional. The October 2022 amendment established that loan covenants to be complied with after the reporting date do not affect the classification of debt as current or non-current at the reporting date. Management’s expectations whether they will subsequently exercise the right to defer settlement do not affect classification of liabilities. A liability is classified as current if a condition is breached at or before the reporting date even if a waiver of that condition is obtained from the lender after the end of the reporting period. Conversely, a loan is classified as non-current if a loan covenant is breached only after the reporting date. In addition, the amendments include clarifying the classification requirements for debt a company might settle by converting it into equity. ‘Settlement’ is defined as the extinguishment of a liability with cash, other resources embodying economic benefits or an entity’s own equity instruments. There is an exception for convertible instruments that might be converted into equity, but only for those instruments where the conversion option is classified as an equity instrument as a separate component of a compound financial instrument. The Group and the Company are currently assessing the impact of the amendments on their financial statements, but are not expecting that impact would be material.
Amendments to IFRS 16 Leases: Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024 once adopted by the EU).
The amendments relate to the sale and leaseback transactions that satisfy the requirements in IFRS 15 to be accounted for as a sale. The amendments require the seller-lessee to subsequently measure liabilities arising from the transaction and in a way that it does not recognise any gain or loss related to the right of use that it retained. This means deferral of such a gain even if the obligation is to make variable payments that do not depend on an index or a rate. The Group and the Company are expecting that the amendments would be not relevant for them.
The adoption of the following new standards and amendments are postponed by the EU indefinitely:
- IFRS 14 Regulatory Deferral Accounts (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016 once adopted by the EU)
- Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28: Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture (effective for annual periods beginning on or after a date to be determined by the IASB once adopted by the EU)
The Group and the Company have not yet analysed impact of them to their financial statements.
2.2. Investment entity and consolidated financial statements
Investment entity
The Company has multiple unrelated investors and holds multiple investments. Ownership interests in the Company are in the form of equity securities issued by the Company – ordinary registered shares. In the management’s opinion, the Company meets the definition of an investment entity as the following conditions exist:
(i) funds are obtained from investors for the purpose of providing them with investment management services;
(ii) it is committed to investors that its business purpose in to invest funds solely for capital appreciation, investment income, or both; and
(iii) it is measured and evaluated the performance of substantially all of its investments on a fair value basis.
The Board of Directors approved exit strategies for the Company’s investments, which do not have definitive maturity terms. The Company and the Group also invest to the collective investment undertakings, which have limited life or are traded on exchange or are open-ended funds with right to redeem on daily basis.# AB INVALDA INVL

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d)
2.3. Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries that provide services that are related to the entity’s investment activities. The financial statements of the consolidated subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting year as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. Consolidated subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the group has control and that provide services that are related to the entity’s investment activities. The Group controls an entity when the group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Consolidated subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. All intra-group balances, transactions, income and expenses, unrealised gains and losses and dividends resulting from intra-group transactions that are recognised in assets, are eliminated in full.
Some Group’s consolidated subsidiaries managed collective investment undertakings and pension funds. The Group analyse whether it is acting primarily as a principal (therefore, controls entities or funds) or as an agent (therefore, do not control them) in exercising its power over the funds. Fund managers generally have power over the relevant activities of the funds that they manage through their exercise of delegated power, and exposure to variability of returns through incentive fees and/or co- investment. Therefore, the link between power and returns is usually key for fund managers assessing whether a fund manager has control over the fund. Aggregate economic interests and investors held rights, including kick-out rights, are assessed together to decide whether the Group have control over managed entities and funds.
Non-controlling interest is the equity in a consolidated subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent and is presented separately in the consolidated income statement and within equity in the consolidated statement of financial position, separately from parent shareholders’ equity. The group treats transactions with non-controlling interests as transactions with equity owners of the group. For purchases from non-controlling interests, the difference between any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the consolidated subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals to non-controlling interests are also recorded in equity. Total comprehensive income (losses) within a consolidated subsidiary are attributed to the non-controlling interest even if that results in a deficit balance.
When the Group ceases to have control of a consolidated subsidiary any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value, with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss or retained earnings, as appropriate.
2.4. Functional and presentation currency
The financial statements are prepared in euro (EUR), which is local currency of the Republic of Lithuania, and presented in EUR thousand. Euro is also the local currency of the Republic of Latvia. Euro is the Company’s functional currency and the Company’s and the Group’s presentation currency. The exchange rates in relation to other currencies are set daily by the European Central Bank and the Bank of Lithuania. As these financial statements are presented in euro thousand, individual amounts were rounded. Due to the rounding, totals in the tables may not add up.

2.5. Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost, excluding the costs of day to day servicing, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of the plant and equipment when the cost is incurred, if the recognition criteria are met. Replaced parts are written off. The Group and the Company have elected to present right-of-use assets as property, plant and equipment. The right-of-use assets comprise leased properties. The accounting policy of right- of-use assets is disclosed in Note 2.18. The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or change in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives.
| Leased properties (right-of-use assets) | 2.25-3.25 years |
|---|---|
| Vehicles | 6 years |
| Other non-current assets | 3–6 years |
The asset residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year end to ensure that they are consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from items in property, plant and equipment. An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. 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 asset) is included in the income statement within “other income” in the year the asset is derecognised.
2.6. Intangible assets other than goodwill
Intangible assets are measured initially at cost. Intangible assets are recognised if it is probable that future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the enterprise and the cost of asset can be measured reliably.# Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d)
2.7. Business combinations and goodwill
After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. The useful lives of intangible assets other than goodwill are assessed to be finite. Intangible assets are amortised using the straight-line method over the best estimate of their useful lives.
Funds’ management rights
Funds’ management rights include investment, private debt investments, pension funds and portfolio of clients acquired during asset management entities acquisition. Funds’ management rights acquired in a business combination are capitalised at the fair value at the acquisition date and treated as an intangible asset. Following initial recognition, funds’ management rights are carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Funds’ management rights are amortised during 5 - 10 years.
Software
The costs of acquisition of new software are capitalised and treated as an intangible asset if these costs are not an integral part of the related hardware. Software is amortised during 3-5 years. Costs incurred in order to restore or maintain the future economic benefits that the Group and the Company expect from the originally assessed standard of performance of existing software systems are recognised as an expense when the restoration or maintenance work is carried out.
2.7. Business combinations and goodwill (cont’d)
The Group applies the acquisition method of accounting to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a consolidated subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the recognised amounts of acquiree’s identifiable net assets. 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. If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date through profit or loss.

2.7 Business combinations and goodwill (cont’d)
Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration, which is deemed to be an asset or liability, will be recognised in accordance with IFRS 9 either in profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it should not be remeasured until it is finally settled within equity. In instances where the contingent consideration does not fall within the scope of IFRS 9, it is measured in accordance with the appropriate IFRS. The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest recognised and previously held interest measured is less than the fair value of the net assets of the consolidated subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognised directly in the income statement. Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of annual impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s cash generating units, or groups of cash generating units, that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the Group are assigned to those units or groups of units. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is allocated:
− represents the lowest level within the Group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes; and
− is not larger than an operating segment determined in accordance with IFRS 8 Operating Segments.
Where goodwill forms part of a cash generating unit (group of cash generating units) and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this circumstance is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash generating unit retained.
2.8. Investments in subsidiaries, associates (the Company)
Investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries, associates are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Loans granted to unconsolidated subsidiaries and associates are considered as part of investments to subsidiaries and associates. They are measured together with equity part of investments to unconsolidated subsidiaries and associates at fair value through profit or loss. Interest on loans granted at fair value through profit or loss is recognised in the income statement within ‘other income’ based on the effective interest rate. When the fair value of investments into unconsolidated subsidiaries and associates together with loans granted to unconsolidated subsidiaries/associates is determined, the value is split into legal components, i.e. between debt and equity instruments. The amortised cost of loans granted is attributed to debt instruments. The remaining value is attributed to equity instruments of the unconsolidated subsidiary.
Investments in consolidated subsidiaries are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the investment in the consolidated subsidiary is carried in the statement of financial position at cost plus post acquisition changes in the Company’s share of net assets of the consolidated subsidiary. Goodwill relating to a consolidated subsidiary is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is neither amortised nor individually tested for impairment. The statement of comprehensive income reflects the share of the results of operations of the consolidated subsidiary. Where there has been a change recognised in the other comprehensive income of the consolidated subsidiary, the Company recognises its share of any changes and discloses this, when applicable, in the other comprehensive income. Company’s share in the changes in the net assets of the consolidated subsidiary that are not recognised in profit or loss or other comprehensive income (OCI) of the consolidated subsidiary, are recognised in equity. Unrealised gains and losses (unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of asset transferred) resulting from transactions between the Company and the consolidated subsidiary are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the consolidated subsidiary. The reporting dates of the consolidated subsidiary and the Company are identical and the consolidated subsidiary’s accounting policies conform to those used by the Company for like transactions and events in similar circumstances.
After application of the equity method, the Company determines whether it is necessary to recognise an additional impairment loss of the Company’s investment in its consolidated subsidiaries. The Company determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in consolidated subsidiary is impaired. If this is the case the Company calculates the amount of impairment as being the difference between the recoverable amount of the consolidated subsidiary and its carrying value and recognises the amount in the statement of comprehensive income. When the Company’s share of losses in a consolidated subsidiary equals or exceeds its interest in the consolidated subsidiary, including any other unsecured receivables, the Company does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the consolidated subsidiary.

2.9. Non-current assets (or disposal groups) held-for-sale and discontinued operations
Non-current assets (or disposal groups) are classified as assets held for sale when their carrying amount is to be recovered principally through a sale transaction and a sale is considered highly probable. They are stated at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell if their carrying amount is to be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use.In the consolidated income statement of the reporting period, and of the comparable period of the previous year, income and expenses from discontinued operations are reported separately from income and expenses from continuing activities as a single amount as profit or loss after tax from discontinued operations in the income statement, even when the Group retains a non- controlling interest in the consolidated subsidiary after the sale, e.g. consolidated subsidiary becomes an associate. Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets once classified as held for sale are not depreciated or amortised. When preparing the consolidated statement of income, all inter-company transactions between discontinued and continuing operations that the Group intends to conduct after the discontinuance, are presented in continuing operation without elimination, i.e. they are presented as if they were conducted with third parties. In this case the elimination entry is recorded in discontinued operations. All inter-company transactions between discontinued and continuing operations that the Group does not intend to conduct after the discontinuance, are eliminated from continuing operation.
2.10. Impairment of non-financial assets
The Group and the Company assess at each reporting date whether there is an indication that a non-financial asset (other than deferred taxes) may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group and the Company make an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cash generating unit’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing 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. In determining fair value less costs to sell, an appropriate valuation model is used. Where possible, these calculations may be corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share prices for publicly traded consolidated subsidiaries or other available fair value indicators. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement. For assets excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the Group and the Company make an estimate of recoverable amount. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in the income statement. Impairment losses recognised in relation to goodwill are not reversed for subsequent increases in its recoverable amount. The following criteria are also applied in assessing impairment of specific assets:
Goodwill
Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Impairment is determined for goodwill by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit (or group of cash generating units), to which the goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit (or group of cash- generating units) is less than the carrying amount of the cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units) to which goodwill has been allocated, an impairment loss is recognised. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods. The Group performs its annual impairment test of goodwill as at 31 December.

2.11. Financial assets
Financial assets within the scope of IFRS 9 are classified as either financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (either through other comprehensive income or through profit or loss) or financial assets measured at amortised cost. The classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or in other comprehensive income. The Group and the Company reclassify debt instruments when and only when their business model for managing those assets changes. Financial assets are recognised when the Group and the Company become parties to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group and the Company have transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the settlement date. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the period generally established by regulation or convention in the marketplace. At initial recognition, the Group/the Company measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss. The Group and the Company classify their investments in debt and equity securities, and derivatives, as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
Debt instruments
Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. Interest income from these financial assets is calculated using the effective interest rate method and presented as “other income” in the income statement. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognised directly in profit or loss. Impairment losses are presented as separate line item in the income statement. The Group’s and the Company’s financial assets at amortised cost comprised trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents.
Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through other comprehensive income, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognised in profit or loss. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and recognised in separate line item. Interest income from these financial assets is included in “other income” using the effective interest rate method. Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in “other income” and impairment expenses are presented as separate line item in the income statement. The Group and the Company do not have financial assets attributed to this group of debt instruments.
Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value through profit or loss. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss is recognised in profit or loss and presented net within “Net changes in fair value of financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss” in the period in which it arises. As the Company is investment entity, which business model is to evaluate and manage investments at fair value, the debt securities, loans granted to the owned investments are measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Equity instruments
The Group and the Company subsequently measure all equity investments at fair value through profit or loss. Changes in the fair value of these financial assets are recognised within “Net changes in fair value of financial instruments at fair value through profit loss” in the income statement.
Offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of financial position when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
2.12. Fair value estimation
The fair value of investments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the close of trading, which is the date closest to the reporting date. The fair value of investments that are not traded in active markets is determined by using valuation techniques. Such valuation techniques may include the most recent transactions in the market, the market price for similar transactions, discounted cash flow analysis or any other valuation models.# AB INVALDA INVL, company code 121304349, Gynėjų str. 14, Vilnius, Lithuania CONSOLIDATED AND COMPANY’S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 (all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated)
2 Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d)
2.13. Impairment of financial and contract assets
The Group and the Company assess on a forward-looking basis the expected credit losses associated with their financial assets carried at amortised cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. The Group’s and the Company’s financial assets at amortised cost comprised trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are considered to be low credit risk at the reporting date (Stage 1). Therefore, the Group/the Company is not relevant a three-stage model for impairment for financial assets other than trade receivables. Loans granted are measured at fair value through profit or loss as part of investments to unconsolidated subsidiaries and associates. For Stage 1 financial assets 12-month expected credit losses (‘ECL’) are recognised and interest revenue is calculated on the gross carrying amount of the asset (that is, without deduction for credit allowance). 12-month ECL are the expected credit losses that result from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date. It is not the expected cash shortfalls over the 12-month period but the entire credit loss on an asset weighted by the probability that the loss will occur in the next 12 months. The financial asset is considered as credit-impaired, if objective evidence of impairment exists at the reporting date. Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtors or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation. Financial assets are written off, in whole or in part, when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, among others, the probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the debtor. Impaired debts are derecognised when they are assessed as uncollectible. For trade, other receivables and contract assets, the Group/the Company applies the simplified approach, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables. Trade receivables and contract assets are classified either to Stage 2 or Stage 3:
− Stage 2 – comprises receivables for which there the simplified approach was applied to measure the expected lifetime credit losses, except for certain trade receivables classified in Stage 3;
− Stage 3 – comprises trade receivables which are overdue more than 90 days (except is reasonable explanation for that) or individually identified as impaired.
The Group trade receivables and contract assets mainly comprised receivables from related parties and managed funds by the subsidiaries. The Company’s trade receivables and contract assets mainly comprised receivables from related parties. Trade receivables is covered within month after reporting date or settlement is deferred by the Group decision. Therefore, for Stage 2 trade receivables/contract assets the ECL are calculated and recognised if would be determined material amount for potential impairment based on settlement of trade receivables after reporting date.
2.14. Trade receivables
Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for goods sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. If collection is expected in one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer), they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets. Trade receivables are recognised initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional unless they contain significant financing components, when they are recognised at fair value. The Group and the Company hold the trade receivables with the objective to collect the contractual cash flows and therefore measures them subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Details about the Group’s and Company’s impairment policies and the calculation of the loss allowance are provided in Note 2.13.
2.15. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less. For the purpose of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and in current bank account as well as deposit in bank with an original maturity of three months or less. The cash or short-term deposits, which use is restricted, are presented in caption ‘restricted cash’ in the statement of financial position.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d)
2.16. Financial liabilities
The Group and the Company recognise a financial liability when they first become parties to the contractual rights and obligations in the contract. All financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value, minus (in the case of a financial liability that is not at fair value through profit or loss) transaction costs that are directly attributable to issuing the financial liability. Financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method or at fair value through profit or loss. A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.
Trade payables
Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer). Financial liabilities included in trade payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost. The fair value of a non-interest bearing liability is its discounted repayment amount. If the due date of the liability is less than one year, discounting is omitted.
Borrowings
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value less directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group/Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period.
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
After initial recognition, financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss. To this group of financial liabilities is attributable contingent consideration and derivatives that are liabilities.
2.17. Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities
Financial assets
A financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised when:
- the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;
- the Group and the Company retain the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but have assumed an obligation to pay them in full without material delay to a third party under a “pass through” arrangement; or
- the Group or the Company have transferred their rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either (a) have transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but have transferred control of the asset.
Where the Group and the Company have transferred their rights to receive cash flows from an asset and have neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognised to the extent of the Group’s and the Company’s continuing involvement in the asset. In that case, the Group and the Company’s also recognise an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Group and the Company have 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.
Financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the income statement.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d)
2.18 Leases (cont’d)
As a lessee, upon commencement or modification of a contract that contains a lease component, the Group and the Company allocate the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of its relative stand-alone prices. The Group and the Company recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date.
Right-of-use assets
The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.
The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the end of the lease term, unless the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the Group/the Company by the end of the lease term or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Group will exercise a purchase option. In that case, the right-of-use asset will be depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset, which is determined on the same basis as those of property and equipment.
In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses (Note 2.10), if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability. As at 31 December 2021 and 2022, right-of-use assets of the Group/the Company relate to leased properties and are depreciated over 1-4 and 2.25-3.25 years, respectively. The Group/the Company presents right-of-use assets in ‘property, plant and equipment' in the statement of financial position.
Lease liability
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group's/the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. The Group/the Company determines its incremental borrowing rate by obtaining interest rates from various external financing sources and makes certain adjustments to reflect the terms of the lease and type of the asset leased.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:
- Fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable;
- Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;
- Amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and
- The exercise price under a purchase option that the Group/the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments in an optional renewal period if the Group/the Company is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties for early termination of a lease unless the Group/the Company is reasonably certain not to terminate early.
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, it is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Group's/the Company’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, if the Group/the Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option, or if there is a revised in-substance fixed lease payment.
When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.
Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as expenses in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs. The Group/the Company lease liabilities in separate line in the statement of financial position.
Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
The Group/the Company has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases of low-value assets and short-term leases. The Group/the Company recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Lease modification
Lease modification is a change in the scope of a lease, or the consideration for a lease, that was not part of the original terms and conditions of the lease.
The Group/the Company accounts for a lease modification as a separate lease if the modification increases the scope of the lease by adding the right to use one or more underlying assets, and the consideration for the lease increases by an amount commensurate with the stand-alone price for the increase in scope and any appropriate adjustments to that stand-alone price to reflect the circumstances of the particular contract.
For a lease modification that is not accounted for as a separate lease, at the effective date of the lease modification, the Group/the Company allocates the consideration in the modified contract to each lease component on the basis of its relative stand-alone prices, determines the lease term of the modified lease, and remeasures the lease liability by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate. The revised discount rate is determined as the interest rate implicit in the lease for the remainder of the lease term, if that rate can be readily determined, or the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate at the effective date of the modification, if the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined.
For a lease modification that is not accounted for as a separate lease, the Group/the Company accounts for the remeasurement of the lease liability by decreasing the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease for lease modifications that decrease the scope of the lease and making a corresponding adjustment to the right-of-use asset for all other lease modifications. The Group/the Company recognizes in profit or loss any gain or loss relating to the partial or full termination of the lease.
2.19. Revenue recognition and costs to obtain contract with customers
Revenue from contracts with customers includes asset management, brokerage and other services revenue.
Revenue from the asset management and brokerage services
Revenue from asset management services is recognized as a percentage from assets under management or investors’ commitments over the period in which the control of the asset management services is transferred to the client, i.e., when services are provided. Asset management services are provided as long as the client has the investment in funds managed by the Group.
Revenue from brokerage services is recognized at a point in time when the control of the brokerage services is transferred to the client, i.e., when services are actually provided. It is the date when securities are recorded on the client’s account (transaction settlement date).
The Group assesses whether some asset management services are separate services provided to the customer (i.e., separate performance obligation). If the service is a separate service provided to the customer, its income is recognized when the service is actually provided. If it is not a separate service provided to the customer but part of the asset management service to manage funds, the recognition of the revenue is deferred and recognized over the average period of the client's contract.
The Group earns fund distribution income from investors that invest into certain funds. The Group analysed whether distribution is a separate service provided to the clients or part of the asset management service to manage funds and concluded that the distribution of alternative funds for informed investors and the distribution of investment funds is a separate service, as each fund is specialized, and the Group provides a separate identification service for the person or entity investing in such a fund, which includes elements of fund selection and application.
Meanwhile, in the case of the distribution of Lithuanian pension funds, the Company assesses that the distribution is not a separate service but a part of the asset management service, because pension funds are standardized products designed for a retail client. As a result, the revenue of the pension fund distribution fee is considered as a contractual obligation and recognized over the average term of the client contract - 10 years.
The Group earns variable remuneration - a success fee when the return of certain funds exceeds the expected return limit. Depending on the fund rules, the Group earns the right to a success fee as soon as the fund's return exceeds the expected return limit or only at the end of the fund's life when the fund's assets are distributed. The Group recognizes the success fee as revenue when it earns the right to a calculated success fee, but only to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of success fee recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.# AB INVALDA INVL, company code 121304349, Gynėjų str. 14, Vilnius, Lithuania CONSOLIDATED AND COMPANY’S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 (all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated)

2.19 Revenue recognition and costs to obtain contract with customers (cont’d)
Costs to obtain contracts with customers
Costs to obtain contracts with customers are commissions paid to external intermediaries for distribution of pension funds. They are capitalised and presented in the statement of financial position within ‘Intangible and costs to obtain contracts with customers assets’. The amortization period used for Costs to obtain contracts with customers is 10 years and is based on the average expected duration of the client's stay with the Group.
Interest income
Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset except for financial assets that subsequently become credit-impaired. For credit-impaired financial assets the effective interest rate is applied to the net carrying amount of the financial asset (after deduction of the loss allowance).
Disposal of investments
Gain (loss) from sale of investment is recognised when the significant risk and rewards of ownership of the investment have passed to the buyer and are recognised within operating activity, as the parent company treats the securities trading as its main activity.
Dividends income
Income is recognised when the Group’s and the Company’s right to receive the payment is established.
2.20. Cash and non-cash distribution to equity holders of the parent
The Company recognises a liability to make cash or non-cash distributions to equity holders of the parent when the distribution is authorised and the distribution is no longer at the discretion of the Company. In Lithuania a distribution is authorised when it is approved by the shareholders. A corresponding amount is recognised directly in equity. The liability for non-cash distributions is measured at the fair value of the assets to be distributed with subsequent fair value re-measurement recognised directly in equity as adjustment to the amount of the distribution. Upon distribution of non-cash assets, any difference between the carrying amount of the liability and the carrying amount of the assets distributed is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

2.21. Current and deferred income tax
The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the income statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period in the countries where the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
The standard income tax rate in Lithuania was 15 % in 2022 and in 2021. Starting from 2010, tax losses can be transferred within Lithuania at no consideration or in exchange for certain consideration between the group companies if certain conditions are met.
Deferred income taxes are calculated using the liability method. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to reverse based on tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except:
− Where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss;
− In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
By Lithuanian Income Tax Law shall be not taxed sale of shares of an entity, registered or otherwise organised in a state of the European Economic Area or in a state with which a treaty for the avoidance of double taxation has been concluded and brought into effect and which is a payer of corporate income tax or an equivalent tax, to another entity or a natural person where the entity transferring the shares held more than 10% of voting shares in that entity for an uninterrupted period of at least two years. If mentioned condition is met or will be met by judgement of the management of the Company, there are not recognised any deferred tax liabilities or assets in respect of temporary differences associated with these investments.
By Lithuanian Income Tax Law shall be not also taxed income from investments into collective investment undertakings.
Deferred tax asset has been recognised in the statement of financial position to the extent the management believes it will be realised in the foreseeable future, based on taxable profit forecasts. If it is believed that part of the deferred tax asset is not going to be realised, this part of the deferred tax asset is not recognised in the financial statements.
Deferred tax asset are not recognised:
− Where the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss;
− In respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.
In Lithuania tax losses can be carried forward for indefinite period, except for the losses incurred as a result of disposal of securities and/or derivative financial instruments. In Lithuania such carrying forward is disrupted if the Company changes its activities due to which these losses incurred except when the Company does not continue its activities due to reasons which do not depend on the Company itself. In Lithuania the losses from disposal of securities and/or derivative financial instruments can be carried forward for 5 consecutive years and only be used to reduce the taxable income earned from the transactions of the same nature. From 1 January 2014 current year taxable profit could be decreased by previous year tax losses only up to 70% in Lithuania.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d)
2.21 Current and deferred income tax (cont’d)
From 1 January 2018 according to the new Corporate Income Tax Act of Latvia the annual profit would be not taxed. Corporate income tax would be paid on distributed profit, including conditional distributed profit as for example: expenditure not related to economic activities, some loans granted to related parties, some provisions for doubtful debts. The tax rate on (net) distributed profit would be 20/80. From 1 January 2018 the tax base would be reduced by the gain on sale of shares, if the shares were held for an uninterrupted period of at least 36 months. The excess gain can be transferred and utilized in the future periods.
The income tax payable on dividends from Latvian consolidated subsidiaries is recognised as the income tax expense of the period in which the dividends are declared, except for deferred tax liability from undistributed profit earned from 1 January 2018 recognised by the Group when it expected to be distributed in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred taxes assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.
2.22.# 2 Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d)
2.22. Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group and the 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 Company expect some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the income statement net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
Contingent liabilities recognised in a business combination
A contingent liability recognised in a business combination is initially measured at its fair value. Subsequently, it is measured at the higher of:
− the amount that would be recognised in accordance with the general guidance for provisions above (IAS 37) or
− the amount initially recognised less, when appropriate, cumulative amortisation recognised in accordance with the guidance for revenue recognition (IFRS 15).
2.23. Segments
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as Board of Directors that makes strategic decisions.
2.24. Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are recognised in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the retained earnings. Where any group company purchases the company’s equity share capital (treasury shares), the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to the company’s equity holders until the shares are cancelled or reissued. Where such shares are subsequently reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the company’s equity holders.

2.25. Employee benefits
Social security contributions
The Company and the Group pay social security contributions to the state Social Security Fund (the Fund) on behalf of its employees based on the defined contribution plan in accordance with the local legal requirements. A defined contribution plan is a plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into the Fund and will have no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the Fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior period. Social security contributions are recognised as expenses on an accrual basis and included in payroll expenses.
Termination benefits
Termination benefits are payable whenever an employee’s employment is terminated before the normal retirement date or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The group recognises termination benefits at the earlier of the following dates:
(a) when the group can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits; and
(b) when the entity recognises costs for a restructuring that is within the scope of IAS 37 and involves the payment of termination benefits.
In the case of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy, the termination benefits are measured based on the number of employees expected to accept the offer. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after reporting date are discounted to their present value.
Bonus plans
The Company and the Group recognise a liability and an expense for bonuses where contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation. The bonus plans that provides the employee with a choice of two settlement alternatives that are mutually exclusive, and in which one of the alternative is equity-settled share-based payment and other alternative is cash that is not share-based payment, accounted for as a share-based payment by applying the requirements in IFRS 2 for compound instruments by analogy. The liability for the cash alternative that is not share-based payment are measured and remeasured in accordance with IAS 19 for such arrangements with employees. Some part of bonuses payment is deferred from one to five years after end of reporting period and employment contract have to be not terminated until payment date to receive relevant part of bonus. The deferred amount of bonuses is recognised into profit or loss over the service vesting period. Any incremental fair value of the share-based payment over the initial value of the liability component is accounted for as an equity component. If and when the choice for a cash alternative is sacrificed, then the liability is reclassified to equity and further the Group/the Company recognise employee services received as equity‑settled share‑based payment transactions.
Pension obligations
If there is an individual arrangement with an employee the Company and the Group may make payments into defined contribution pension plans. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. The group has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.
2.26. Share-based payments
The Group operates a number of equity-settled, share-based compensation plans (including bonus plans with cash-alternative), under which the entity receives services from employees as consideration for equity instruments (options) of the Group. The fair value of the employee services received in exchange for the grant of the options is recognised as an employee benefits expense. The total amount to be expensed as equity component of share based payments is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted:
− including any market performance conditions;
− excluding the impact of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions (for example, profitability, sales growth targets and remaining an employee of the entity over a specified time period); and
− excluding the impact of any non-vesting conditions (for example, the requirement for employees to save).
Grant date is the date at which the Group/Company and the employee agree to a share-based payment arrangement, and requires that the entity and the employee have a shared understanding of the terms and conditions of the arrangement. If the agreement is subject to an approval process, then grant date is the date on which that approval is obtained. If the employee services is rendered before grant date, the Group/the Company estimating the fair value of the equity instruments is by assuming that grant date is at the reporting date. Once grant date has been established, the Group/the Company revises the earlier estimates so that the amounts recognised for services received are based on the grant-date fair value of the equity instruments.

2.26 Share-based payments (cont’d)
Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to vest. The total expense is recognised into profit or loss over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of each reporting period, the entity revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the non-marketing vesting conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in the income statement, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. When the options are exercised, the Company issues new shares or sell own shares. The proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs are credited to share capital (nominal value) and share premium when the options are exercised by issuing of new shares. In its separate financial statements the grant by the Company of options over its equity instruments to the employees of subsidiary undertakings in the group is treated as a capital contribution. The fair value of employee services received, measured by reference to the grant date fair value, is recognised over the vesting period as an increase to investment in subsidiary undertakings, with a corresponding credit to equity.
Share - based payments – modification and cancellation
If the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, at a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified. An additional expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee, as measured at the date of modification.# AB INVALDA INVL, company code 121304349, Gynėjų str. 14, Vilnius, Lithuania

2.27. Contingencies
Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the financial statements. They are disclosed unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote. A contingent asset is not recognised in the financial statements but disclosed when an inflow or economic benefits is probable.
2.28. Events after the reporting period
Events after the reporting period that provide additional information about the Group’s position as at the end of the reporting period (adjusting events) are reflected in the financial statements. Events after the reporting period that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the notes when material.
2.29. Significant accounting judgements and estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires management of the Group and the Company to make judgements and estimates that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of reporting period. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in the future periods. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Judgements
In the process of applying the Group accounting policies, management has made the following judgement, which has most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements:
Investment entity
According to the management, the Company meets all the defining criteria of an investment entity from the split-off in 2014 and henceforth investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries and associates are measured at fair value through profit or loss. The management is continually reviewing whether the Company meets all the defining criteria of an investment entity. In addition, the management assesses the Company’s operation objective, investment strategy, origin of income and fair value models and whether investment-related services provided by the consolidated subsidiaries to third parties are ancillary to its core investing activities.
The identification of customer of asset management entities
When the Group starts to manage the new fund, it decides on who is the client of the Group: the fund itself or its participant. This decision affects the accounting for the cost of concluding contracts with fund participants in accordance with IFRS 15. The Group has made the following decisions about who is the client of the funds it manages:
* In the case of Lithuanian pension funds, its client is each participants of the fund, because the Group manages the information of the fund participant and communicates directly with each participant of pension funds. As a result, incremental costs to obtain contract for these clients are capitalised by the Group;
* In the case of investment funds, alternative funds and Latvian pension funds, the Group estimates that its client is a fund rather than a separate fund participant. This solution is based on the fact that these funds are distributed and relationships with fund investors are supported by intermediaries - usually financial brokerage firms or fund platforms. The Group usually has no contact with the investors of these funds and does not directly communicate with them. Often, the Group does not even have information about the end customers because it only accesses the compound account of the investors and not the individual accounts of the fund participants. As a result, incremental costs to sign-up new investors to these funds are expensed as incurred by the Group.
Success fee
The Group does not recognize the success fee, accrued in the managed funds, as revenue until the condition for non-returnable payment of it is not met. The Group is judged that until the condition for non-returnable payment is met, it is exist significant uncertainty about the possible amount, timing of payment and a significant reversal in received amount of success fee, if it applicable. As at 31 December 2022 and 2021 the Group has not received any success fee, which could be returned to managed funds.
Control of managed entities/funds
The Group decides whether is control managed entities and funds. The main factors that the Group is assessed together are aggregate economic interests and investors held rights, including kick-out rights. A higher aggregate economic interest was identified for the closed-ended type investment companies INVL Technology and INVL Baltic Real Estate. Unlike other managed funds, the shareholders of these entities have full voting rights, as in any joint stock company. Investors can realize return from them first by selling shares on the stock exchange and receiving dividends. Decisions regarding dividends can only be made by shareholders and not by fund managers and the Group does not have sufficient power to alone decide regarding dividend. Both companies have at least two other major shareholders holding together larger shareholdings than the Group. These shareholders also jointly control the Group. Therefore, after assessment the Group decides that it do not have control over managed entities and funds.

Estimates and assumptions
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The Group based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the consolidated financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising beyond the control of the Group. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur. The significant areas of estimation used in the preparation of these financial statements are discussed below.
Fair value of investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries and associates in financial statements
The fair values of investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries and associates are determined by using valuation techniques, primarily earnings multiples, discounted cash flows and recent comparable transactions. The models used to determine fair values are periodically reviewed and compared against historical results to ensure their reliability. Details of the inputs and valuation models used to determine Level 3 fair value, is provided in Note 12.
The fair value of the investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries and associates of the Group as at 31 December 2022 was EUR 18,416 thousand and EUR 25,975 thousand, respectively (as at 31 December 2021 - EUR 23,012 thousand and EUR 22,481 thousand, respectively). The fair value of the investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries and associates of the Company as at 31 December 2022 was EUR 52,812 thousand and EUR 25,975 thousand, respectively (as at 31 December 2021 - EUR 22,997 thousand and EUR 22,481 thousand, respectively) (described in more details in Note 12).
Useful lives of funds’ management rights and amortisation period of costs to obtain contracts with customers
The useful lives of funds’ management rights acquired through business combinations are disclosed in Note 2.6 and amortisation charge for the year is disclosed in Note 10. The useful lives are determined by management at the time the asset is acquired and reviewed on an annual basis for appropriateness. The lives are based on historical experiences with similar assets as well as anticipation of future events, which may impact their life.
As at 31 December 2022 and 2021 the Group assessed that there is no impairment indication of funds’ management rights. If the estimated useful lives of funds’ management rights have been one year shorter, the amortisation charge for the year ended 31 December 2022 and 2021 would have increased by EUR 136 thousand and EUR 98 thousand, respectively.

Estimates and assumptions (cont’d)
Useful lives of funds’ management rights and amortisation period of costs to obtain contracts with customers (cont’d)
Amortisation period of costs to obtain contracts with customers is 10 years, based on the average expected duration of the client's stay with the Group. If the estimated amortisation period of costs to obtain contracts with customers have been one year shorter, the amortisation charge for the year ended 31 December 2022 would have increased by EUR 44 thousand, the amortisation charge for the year ended 31 December 2021 would have increased by EUR 39 thousand, and if it were longer by one year, the Group should reduce amortisation expenses by EUR 36 thousand (2021: EUR 32 thousand).
Deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are recognised for tax losses carry-forwards to the extent that the realisation of the related tax benefit through future taxable profits is probable. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised based upon the likely timing and amount of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies. Deferred tax asset is recognized on individual company basis taking into account future performance plans of those companies.
No deferred tax asset is recognized from Group’s tax losses carry forward for indefinite period of time of EUR 999 thousand as 31 December 2022 (as at 31 December 2021 – EUR 1,128 thousand) due to future uncertainties related with the performance of those companies. As at 31 December 2022 and 2021 all above mentioned tax losses is related to consolidated subsidiary UAB INVL Asset Management. As at 31 December 2022 in the total deferred tax asset balance of the Group the amount of EUR 326 thousand (as at 31 December 2021 – EUR 222 thousand) relates to deferred tax asset recognized from the taxable losses of the Company and EUR 496 thousand (as at 31 December 2021 – EUR 384 thousand) was recognized from the taxable losses of other Group’s entities (Note 6).
As at 31 December 2022 recognition of deferred tax asset from the taxable losses of acquired asset management entities are supported on the estimation of these entities’ profitability, which is based on the forecasted growth of managed funds and participants portfolio, on the level of management fees, on future funds return and number of participants. If the profitability estimation would be change by 5%, deferred tax asset would be recognised by EUR 25 thousand more/less (as at 31 December 2021 – EUR 19 thousand).
Bonuses
The Group have bonus plans, where employees have choice of two settlement alternatives that are mutually exclusive, and in which one of the alternative is equity-settled share-based payment (by granting share options of the Company) and other alternative is cash that is not share-based payment. As described in more details in Note 0, this arrangement with employees is accounted as a compound financial instrument, which includes a debt component and an equity component. The Group use estimates of employee service vesting period and recognise expenses proportionately over estimated vesting period. The equity component as equity-settled share-based payment are measured at the grant date fair value of share-options. The valuation method of fair value of share-options is a significant accounting estimate. The fair value of equity-settled share-based payment is calculated using the Black-Scholes option valuation method. All key inputs, with the exception of share price volatility, are directly observable in the market (the Company’s share price and risk-free interest rate). For volatility input is used historical shares volatility on exchange. More details on inputs are disclosed in Note 18.
Other areas involving estimates include useful lives of property, plant and equipment, discount rate for lease liabilities and allowances for accounts receivable. According to the management, these estimates do not have significant risk of causing a material adjustment.

4. Segment information
The Board of Directors monitors the operating results of the business units of the Group separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocations and performance assessment. In 2022, after the Company transferred its significant investments to the subsidiary INVL Life, UADB, in order to form its share capital, the structure of business segments was changed - investment results are evaluated based on changes in fair value of investments, including dividends and interest income received by the Group, regardless of whether the Company or subsidiary invested. Investment management segment’s performance is evaluated based on profit (loss) before income tax, after eliminating changes in the fair value of investments of subsidiaries of that segment, dividends and interest income received from these investments. Finance costs are allocated between segments on basis of separate legal entities, attributable to segments. Income tax, consolidation adjustments and eliminations are not allocated on a segment basis. Segment assets are measured in a manner consistent with that of the financial statements. All assets are allocated between segments, because segments are identified on a basis of separate legal entities and the Group's investments are attributed to the investment activity segment, regardless of who invested in them. The granted loans by the Company are allocated to segment’s, to which entities they are granted, assets. The impairment losses of these loans are allocated to a segment to which the loan was granted initially. The comparative figures have been restated due to the change in segment disclosure. Dividends, interest income and changes in fair value of investments held by investment management entities was reclassified to investment activity segment, also related assets was reclassified and disclosure of investment activities results was restated. Profit (loss) before income tax instead of net profit was used to present segment results. For management purposes, the Group is organised into following operating segments based on their products and services:
Investment management
The investment management segment includes pension, investment funds, alternative investments (private equity, real assets and private debt) and portfolio management, financial brokerage and land administration services.

12. Fair value estimation
Financial instruments that are not carried at fair value
The Group’s and the Company’s principal financial instruments that are not carried at fair value in the statement of financial position are cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, borrowings, trade and other payables. The fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The carrying amount of the cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables of the Group and the Company as at 31 December 2022 and 2021 approximated their fair value because they are short-term and the impact of discounting is immaterial. The carrying amount of borrowings of the Group and the Company as at 31 December 2022 approximated their fair value. Bank borrowings have floating interest rate (3 months EURIBOR) and were negotiated recently, therefore their interest rate represents the current market rate. The fair values of borrowings are based on discounted cash flows using a current interest rate. They are classified as level 3 fair values in the fair value hierarchy due to use of unobservable inputs, including own credit risk.
Financial instruments carried at fair value
The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:
- Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
- Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly;
- Level 3: techniques which use inputs with a significant effect on the recorded fair value not based on observable market data.
Unconsolidated subsidiaries and associates are measured at fair value through profit or loss. The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on arm’s length basis. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group and Company is the measurement date exchange closing price.
The level 2 instruments are investments to collective investment undertakings and entities, where fair value is measured as fair value of net assets value, which is based only on observable inputs. Therefore, collective investment undertakings and these entities have invested only to securities which are measured as Level 1 instruments, and have only cash, current liabilities, which carrying amount approximate to fair value.
The valuation of Level 3 instruments is performed by the Company’s employees, analysts, every quarter. The value is estimated as at the last day of quarter. The management of the Company review the valuations prepared by analysts. In 2021 facility management entities is measured according to signed sale agreement (Note 3). In 2022 and 2021 the Group has determined net assets value as difference between assets and liabilities, measured using combination of income and market approach, for valuation of investments into UAB Litagra (agriculture activity). Discounted cash flows technique was used for income approach. Value of land was determined by using market approach. The cash flows were adjusted by rent costs of owned land. The final value of investments was determined by combining value of subgroups, land owned by group of UAB Litagra and other item of assets and liabilities of holding entity to determine net assets value. In 2022 and 2021 substantially all land was valued by external asset valuators. Agricultural activities include the primary crop and livestock (milk) production, feed production and grain processing and poultry farming. UAB Litagra is holding company which directly and indirectly owned shares of multiple entities which for valuation are divided into two subgroups. It was prepared separate cash flows for each subgroup and used different discount rate. One subgroup comprises the primary crop and livestock (milk) production. Second subgroup comprises feed production and grain processing and poultry farming. UAB Kelio Ženklai was measured according to fair value of its assets and liabilities. The main assets - buildings - of UAB Kelio Ženklai were valued using sales comparison method. On the assessment the value of UAB Kelio Ženklai reflects its net assets value. After disposal in 2022 and 2021 the Company measured granted loan to UAB Kelio Ženklai at the same techniques as in 2020 were measured shares and granted loan together.# AB INVALDA INVL, company code 121304349, Gynėjų str. 14, Vilnius, Lithuania

Financial instruments carried at fair value (cont’d)

Life insurance activities are measured at fair value according to transaction price agreed in the agreement on the merger of part of the retail businesses with AB Šiaulių Bankas (Notes 2.29 and 23). The Group has also prepared valuation by using discounted cash flows method (embedded value) to check transaction price. The value determined was close to the value according to the agreement.
Investments into UAB MD Partners are measured as fair value of net assets value of entity, where main indirectly owned assets – investment into MAIB bank – are measured using price to earnings (P/E) and P/BV multiplier technique of comparable banks from the Central and Eastern Europe (11 peers are selected in 2022 and 13 peers are selected in 2021) and applying discount. Discount reflects lack of marketability and country and MAIB risk. Structure of investments into MAIB is described in Note 1. The Company indirectly has 7.9% shares of MAIB. There were also some cash and liabilities at the level intermediate entities UAB MD Partners and HEIM Partners Limited. Dormant entities are measured according to its equity, because they have only cash and current liabilities.
The Group and the Company have also invested into collective investment undertakings, which main assets are Level 3 financial instruments. These investments are valued at net assets value of collective investment undertakings, which are measured at fair value and communicated to investor by the management entity of collective investment undertakings.

24. Financial risk management
24.1. Financial risk factors
The risk management function within the Group is carried out in respect of financial risks (credit, market and liquidity), operational risks and legal risks. On an overall Group level strategical risk management is executed by the Board of Directors. Operational risk management is carried out at each entity level by directors. The primary objectives of the financial risk management function are to establish risk limits, and then ensure that exposure to risks stays within these limits. The operational and legal risk management functions are intended to ensure proper functioning of internal policies and procedures to minimise operational and legal risks.
The Group’s and the Company’s principal financial liabilities comprise trade and other payables and borrowings. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to raise finance for the Group’s and the Company’s operations. The Group and the Company have various financial assets such as trade and other receivables, loans granted, investments in equity and debt securities, deposits held in banks and cash which arise directly from its operations. The Group and Company have not used any of derivative instruments for hedging so far, as management considered that there is no necessity for them.
The Group is being managed the way so its main businesses would be separated from each other. This is to diversify the operational risk and create conditions for selling any business avoiding any risk to the Company and the Group. The Company’s policy is to not provide any guarantee or surety for the Group‘s companies. The Group‘s companies do not provide any guarantees one against another usually.
The main risks arising from the financial instruments are market risk (including currency risk, cash flow and fair value interest rate risk and price risk), liquidity risk and credit risk. The risks are identified and disclosed below.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to outstanding trade receivables, loans granted and debt securities. The Group estimates the credit risk separately by the segments. The maximum exposure to credit risk and impairment of trade and other receivables and loans granted is disclosed in Notes 14 and 15. The maximum exposure to credit risk for loans granted classified as ‘financial assets at fair value through profit or loss’ in 2022 and as ‘financial assets at fair value through profit or loss’ in 2021 are their carrying amounts (EUR 2,516 thousand as at 31 December 2021 and EUR 384 thousand as at 31 December 2022). In Note 15 is also disclosed credit risk exposure of trade receivable. There are no significant transactions of the Group or the Company that occur outside Lithuania and Latvia. With respect to credit risk arising from other financial assets of the Group and the Company, which comprise deposits at banks and cash and cash equivalents, the Group’s and the Company’s exposure to credit risk arises from default of the counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments.
The maximum exposure to credit risk from financial assets are:
| Group | Company | Group | Company | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 2021 | 2022 | 2021 | |
| Trade and other receivables | 5,145 | 3,815 | 2,582 | 433 |
| Loans granted | 384 | 2,516 | 384 | 2,516 |
| Cash at bank | 3,609 | 5,910 | 372 | 716 |
| 9,138 | 12,241 | 3,338 | 3,665 |
24.1 Financial risk factors (cont’d)
Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk
The Group’s and the Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the debt obligations with floating interest rates and to the owned bonds. The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in floating interest rates (EURIBOR), with all other variables held constant, of the Group’s and the Company’s profit before tax (through the impact on floating rate borrowings). There is no impact on the Group’s and the Company’s equity other than current year profit impact.
| Increase in basis points | Group | Company | Group | Company |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 2021 | 2022 | 2021 | |
| EUR +300 bps | (99) | (99) | - | - |
| -100 bps | 33 | 33 |
As at 31 December 2022 the Group and the Company had one loans with floating interest rates (3 month EURIBOR). The Group and the Company did not have any borrowing as at 31 December 2021. The Company and the Group have loans granted to their previous unconsolidated subsidiaries and to associates (only in 2021) with fixed interest rates for one year.## 24 Financial risk management (cont’d)
24.1 Financial risk factors (cont’d)
Share price risk
The Group and the Company are exposed to equity securities price risk because of investments held by the Group and the Company and classified on the statement of financial position at fair value through profit or loss. The Group and the Company are not exposed to commodity price risk.
To manage their price risk arising from investments in equity securities, the Group and the Company diversify their portfolio. The Group’s and the Company’s investments in equity of other entities that are publicly traded are included in the equity index: OMX Baltic Benchmark Gross Index (OMXBBGI).
The table below summarises the impact of increases/decreases of the equity index on the Group’s and the Company’s profit before tax for the year. The analysis is based on the assumption that the equity index had increased/decreased by 20% with all other variables held constant and all the Group’s and Company’s equity instruments moved according to the historical correlation with the index:
| Index | Group | Company | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 2021 | 2022 | 2021 | |
| OMXBBGI | 8,343 | 6,819 | 7,654 | 6,083 |
Profit before tax for the year would increase/decrease as a result of gains/losses on equity securities classified at fair value through profit or loss.
Foreign exchange risk
As a result of operations the statement of financial position of the Group can be affected by movements in the reporting currencies’ exchange rates. The Group’s and the Company’s policy is related to matching of money inflows from the most probable potential sales with purchases by each foreign currency. The Group and the Company do not apply any financial instruments allowing to hedge foreign currency risks, because these risks are considered insignificant. The foreign currency risk at the Group and the Company is not large, taking into consideration that most monetary assets and obligations are denominated in euro. As at 31 December 2022 and 2021 the Group and Company have insignificant assets denominated in foreign currency.

Liquidity risk
The Group’s and the Company’s policy is to maintain sufficient cash and cash equivalents or have available funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet their commitments at a given date in accordance with strategic plans. The liquidity risk of the Group and the Company is controlled on a level of consolidated subsidiaries. The Group’s and the Company’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of borrowings.
The liquidity risk management is divided into long-term and short-term risk management. The aim of the short-term liquidity management is to meet daily needs for funds. Each operating segment is independently planning its internal cash flows. Short-term liquidity for the Group and the Company is controlled through monthly monitoring of the liquidity status and needs of funds according to the Group’s operating segments.
Long-term liquidity risk is managed by analysing the predicted future cash flows taking into account the possible financing sources. Before approving the new investment projects the Group and the Company evaluate the possibilities to attract needed funds. The general rule is applied in the Group to finance the Group companies or to take loans from them through the parent company in order to minimise the presence of direct borrowings between the companies of different operating segments.

- Impact of invasion of the Russian Federation to Ukraine

Therefore invasion of the Russian Federation to Ukraine, occurred on 24 February 2022, has not any significant impact on the Group/the Company activities. The Group/the Companies results was affected by the decrease of market price of listed companies. This directly contributed to the decline in the value of Level 1 and Level 2 financial assets. This decline also reduced the Group's income generated from the management fee received for the managed investment products in 2022.
- Events after the reporting period
On 29 December 2022 the Group has signed an agreement to acquire the remaining shares (48.99%) in UAB Mundus, an asset management company managing a private debt fund Mundus Bridge Finance.

CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2022 | 88
PRESIDENT’S STATEMENT
Dear All,
In 2022, the evolving geopolitical and economic environment in the world had a major impact on businesses and investment decisions. The war in Europe, the volatility of markets and energy prices, and the rapid rise of interest rates all posed challenges but also opened up new opportunities. The general decline in most markets led to losses for a large number of investors last year. However, it is important that in the longer term, even taking into account negative periods, the investments have provided and continue to provide an appropriate return for investors.
Invalda INVL had significant transactions in the asset management area in 2022. At the start of July, we completed the acquisition of Mandatum Life's life insurance business in the Baltics, and late in the year, we signed an agreement on merging part of the retail businesses of Invalda INVL and Šiaulių Bankas. These are fundamental steps in the development of a retail business geared towards a more mature society that seeks stable financial grounding and investment income. The next-generation bank that is being created, with Invalda INVL as one of its major shareholders, will provide even more services from one source and offer market-driven solutions that deliver more value to clients, employees, and investors.
Despite a volatile year, our clients increased their investments in the products the group manages and by year-end we had reached EUR 1.9 billion in assets under management, with pension funds continuing to represent the largest amount.# CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2022 | 89

2.2. COMPANY’S PHILOSOPHY AND OPERATING PRINCIPLES
Who are we?
Invalda INVL is an investment management and life insurance with an open approach, growing and developing, and creating well-being for people through its activities. Since the beginning of our activities, we have been working consistently and purposefully in the field of investments, prioritising the interests of our clients. We maintain the same values as we grow. Furthermore, we are open to new opportunities, new markets, new methods of operation. We believe that an open approach and careful consideration of new ideas contributes significantly to the success and quality of our solutions. We grow by investing in the organic development of the investment management business and, as opportunities arise, we make new acquisitions in this business. Asset management and investing is our core business. We believe we create value to all stakeholders by, first and foremost, doing our direct work well and performing our duties. We believe that the success of the business is inseparable from the contribution to advancing the processes of the society thus we invest in knowledge, team coherence, promotion of social activities, sustainability.
What do we seek?
The mission of Invalda INVL is to create well-being for people while contributing to the growth of the region we operate in. We aim to provide customers with the best choice when it comes to long-term savings, personal finance management, financial security and well-being solutions. We acquired the life insurance business in order to create a group that can offer existing and new INVL customers even more products and solutions that meet their needs. Due to favourable circumstances, we did not have time to fully complete this and integrate the life insurance business into INVL, and we are transferring it over to Šiaulių Bankas, which will provide new generation financial services, where we will have up to 20% of the shares and thus remain in this business.
How do we operate?
Investment management and life insurance is our core business. The Group's companies provide services to more than 300 thousand individual and institutional regional and international clients entrusting the Invalda INVL group to manage about EUR 1.9 billion worth of assets. At the group level, we manage different asset classes such as pension and investment funds, life insurance products, alternative investments (private equity, real assets and private debt), individual portfolios. We also have our own investment portfolio. We invest in products managed by the group together with the clients of our companies (general partner investments) in order to have better aligned common interests. The remainder of the current portfolio consists of other historical investments. The list of group companies as well as their contact information is presented in Annex 1 to this Annual Report. The financial data of the businesses that make up the group are presented in sections 5.1 and 5.2 of this report.
What is our experience?
Invalda INVL was founded in 1991 by a group of people from the academic community with the aim to create value and contribute to the country’s economy. The company's shares have been traded on the Nasdaq Vilnius stock exchange since 1995. Since the start of the listing, the company has paid EUR 70.4 million to its shareholders (dividends and share repurchases). Over its history Invalda INVL has implemented a few dozen corporate acquisitions and sales, capital raising transactions worth more than EUR 2 billion.
- Since the end of the first closing of INVL Baltic Sea Growth Fund on February 2019 Invalda INVL undertakes not to invest in private equity assets that comply with the fund’s strategy and to conduct its main investment activity through this fund.

II. FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT EVENTS
3. Business environment
Taking into account the wide range of companies managed by Invalda INVL and investments in collective investment undertakings, the Baltic stock markets and economies are reviewed in order to describe the operating environment as most of our companies and investments in collective investment undertakings are concentrated there. 2022 was not a successful year for the Baltic equity markets, reflecting the changed economic backdrop both in Lithuania and globally.
The private equity, alternative and real assets funds managed by the INVL group successfully created value for investors as they continued to make acquisitions and raise funds. The INVL Baltic Sea Growth Fund, the leading private equity investment fund in the Baltics, added two companies in Lithuania and one in Latvia to its portfolio, and through portfolio companies invested in the Czech Republic and Poland. The successful operations of the majority of the companies the fund manages resulted in good performance and growth in value by the fund. According to unaudited data, portfolio companies of INVL Baltic Sea Growth Fund employ about 8,000 people, and last year's total income exceeded EUR 500 million, EBITDA reached EUR 55 million. The Fund continues to actively look for opportunities to invest in businesses in the Baltic States, Poland, and other surrounding markets. We have already raised more than EUR 81 million for our second sustainable forest and farmland fund, the INVL Sustainable Timberland and Farmland Fund II (STAFF II), and increased land holdings in Latvia. The INVL Renewable Energy Fund I, which is currently investing in renewable energy projects in Poland and Romania and has raised EUR 52.9 million from investors, expanded its portfolio of solar park projects to 475 megawatts (MW). We also carried out investment activities and developed our existing investments in the areas of real estate, private debt, and information technologies. We have focused on feeder funds. The INVL Partner Global Infrastructure Fund I, which invests in the infrastructure fund of a long-standing world-class asset manager, was launched in late 2021, and the INVL Partner Private Equity Fund I, which invests in EQT X, a fund with a target size of EUR 20 billion established by EQT, one of the world's leading private equity investment firms, was launched in early 2023. The funds are successful putting investors' money to work outside their home region and offering more opportunities to diversify investment risk. We intend to continue to gain strength in this area and offer our clients the solutions needed to invest in leading global products. For the INVL Family Office, 2022 was a year of growth. A range of new investment products and services have meant growing income for its clients. We are delighted that years of focused work and value creation are yielding rapid growth in existing clients' investments and attracting new ones. Importantly, 2022 was a record year for our other investments – Šiaulių Bankas, Moldova's largest bank Moldova- Agroindbank, and Litagra. While both banks performed well, that was not reflected in share price growth due to the unusual situation in the markets. We believe that such strong, well performing banks that generate high returns and are growing rapidly will gain the market's appreciation. Litagra, one of Lithuania's largest agribusiness groups, delivered excellent results following several acquisitions, partly driven by global growth of food prices. Expansion in the poultry, feed and dairy sectors is significantly increasing the company's potential. We expect reconfiguration of acquired assets and other actions focused on growth and economies of scale to boost sales in the near term and have a positive impact on competitiveness and long- term earnings in these areas. Given the prevailing conditions in the markets, we view 2022 as a reasonably good year. Work we carried out or started last year will undoubtedly have a significant impact on the value and performance of our business in the future. Invalda INVL had a net profit was EUR 16.7 million for the year and net assets of EUR 130.8 million at year-end. Last year, the company paid its shareholders dividends of EUR 7.6 million. On behalf of Invalda INVL, I thank our clients for the trust they have placed in us amidst volatile markets and a challenging geopolitical environment, and our employees for their dedication, focus and professionalism. I thank our shareholders for their support and belief in the value we create. Transformation, change, and growth mean new opportunities for all those who have been working with us for many years, or who are willing and able to join the INVL group's team in creating value for those who entrust their funds to us and in growing the economies of the countries and the areas we invest in while at the same time unlocking the potential and the needs of each and every member of the team. Sincerely, Darius Šulnis
CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2022 | 91# Russia's war in Ukraine, the tense situation in the energy sector, rising interest rates and fears of recession are among the main factors reflected in stock prices.

According to information from the State Data Agency, the average annual inflation rate in 2022 in Lithuania was 19.7% (for comparison, in 2021 annual inflation was recorded at 4.7%). The average annual inflation was mainly driven by the increase in the prices of fuel and lubricants, thermal energy, solid fuels, milk and dairy products, cheese and eggs, meat and meat products, bread and cereal products, electricity, vegetables, products and materials for the maintenance and repair of housing, and cars. However, prices for audio and video reception, recording, and reproduction equipment as well as telephone equipment have decreased. Consumer goods prices increased by 25.2% year-on-year and services prices − by 13.2%. Average annual inflation stood at 9.2% in the European Union (EU) in 2022 and 8.4% in the euro area. Average annual inflation in Lithuania was 18.9% according to the Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) with other EU Member States (compared to 4.6% in 2021).
Lithuania’s gross domestic product (GDP) in 2022 was €67.1 billion at the prices of the time, based on preliminary data from the State Data Agency. Compared to 2021, the real GDP change, excluding seasonal and working days, was positive at 2.2%. GDP growth peaked at 0.9% in Q1 (after seasonal and working days were removed and compared to the previous quarter). This was mainly influenced by the performance of industry, wholesale, and retail, professional, scientific, and technical, and administrative and service companies. GDP fell by 0.5% in Q2, driven by lower performance in transport and storage, construction and real estate businesses, and grew by 0.4% in Q3 − driven by the success of industry, information and communication, and agricultural enterprises. In the last quarter of the year, GDP fell by 1.7% compared to Q3, according to preliminary data − the most significant drop in the EU as a whole.
According to the Republic of Lithuania Ministry of Finance, the post-pandemic recovery momentum gained in 2021 simmered down in 2022, affected by geopolitical uncertainty and an unfavourable external environment. The geopolitical tensions caused by the war in Ukraine, the sharp increase in uncertainty, and the ongoing disruptions in supply chains hampered the planning and implementation of investment projects, while the rise in inflation reduced household purchasing power and led to an increase in interest rates.
However, the labour market has remained healthy. The number of employed persons has increased sharply, unemployment has been falling, the active population of working age has increased, and the number of job vacancies has remained close to record levels. Employment growth was driven by high economic activity, strong labour demand in many sectors of the economy, and space for employment growth to record highs (80% in Q3 in the 15−64 age group) and the labour market participation of Ukraine’s working-age war refugees. Labour market participation of the working- age population was driven by strong labour shortages, increased chances of finding their desired job, strong wage growth, and expected high inflation rates. However, a possible decline in economic activity may lead to a slight increase in the unemployment rate in the near future. In the short term, the worsening situation is likely to affect in particular the demand for unskilled or less skilled workers. There is still a shortage of highly skilled workers in the labour market, and the slowdown in economic activity is expected to be temporary, so companies should not rush to drop highly skilled workers; therefore, no significant increase in unemployment is expected.
The strong demand for and shortages of skilled workers faced by both the private and the public sector, as well as government decisions on the remuneration of public sector employees (increased wages for education, healthcare, statutory staff, an increase in the basic salary for civil servants and other employees of budgetary institutions), a significant increase in MMA (13.7% to €730), and an increase in inflation expectations led to wage growth in the country in 2022. However, while average wage growth was rather marked at 13%, real wages fell by almost 7% due to inflation. Wage growth is projected to reach 9.1% in 2023.
CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2022 | 92
According to the Bank of Lithuania’s review of the development and outlook of the Lithuanian economy, in the coming years, it will depend on the continuation of Russia’s war against Ukraine and on the efforts of governments to mitigate the negative economic consequences of the war. Hostilities, sanctions, and the responses to them have significantly increased global prices (and their volatility) of raw materials, in particular energy and food. This is especially detrimental not only to the development of Lithuania’s economies, but also to many of Lithuania’s main trading partners, in particular European countries, through the shrinking purchasing power of households, the loss of competitiveness of exporting firms, and the need to tighten monetary policy. As these unfavourable factors may lead not only to a short-term slowdown in economic growth but also to a significant longer-lasting recession, governments’ efforts to mitigate the negative effects of these factors are crucial during this period.
In 2023, the amount of funds planned to be allocated in the state budget for compensating the part of gas and electricity prices for residents and businesses should amount to 1.2% of GDP, for increasing the income of residents − 1.7% of GDP, and spending on public investment projects should increase by 0.6% of GDP. This implies that both household consumption and investment are expected to show a rather favourable development in 2023. As many of Lithuania’s main trading partners will apply similar household and business support packages, demand for Lithuanian goods and services in foreign markets is expected to recover from the beginning of 2023 and at the end of next year to reach the level prior to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. This evolution of demand in Lithuania’s main trading partners will also lead to more favourable development of the exports of goods and services.
Lithuania’s real GDP is projected to grow by 1.3% in 2023. Moreover, if unexpected shocks in commodity markets do not occur, the annual inflation peak will remain in the past. Annual inflation is expected to continue to decline as the effect of the higher comparative base increases, with lower commodity prices and supply chain disruptions. The rise in energy prices is projected to dampen significantly next year, while food prices, including alcoholic beverages and tobacco, will be the main determinant of inflation. The rise in the purchase prices of food raw materials in Lithuania and the increase in energy costs contributed significantly to food price increases in 2022 and will also affect the evolution of food prices in 2023. However, the tightening of Lithuania’s economy and the weakening of supply chain disruptions will reduce core inflation, which does not include the most volatile energy and food products. Taking this into account, the forecast for general inflation is a decline to 9.5% in 2023.

6. Estimation of Issuer’s and Group’s activity last year and activity plans and forecasts
6.1. EVALUATION OF IMPLEMENTATION OF GOALS FOR 2022
A year ago, we said that we will work consistently and purposefully, and we are ready for changes when they are necessary and meaningful. As we planned, in the middle of last year we successfully completed the acquisition of Mandatum Life's life insurance business in the Baltic States. We also made a strategic decision regarding the development of the retail business and on 22 November 2022 we signed an agreement with Šiaulių Bankas regarding the merger of part of the retail businesses. This move will bring more value to customers, employees, and investors. Existing INVL customers will continue receiving professional savings, investment, and life insurance solutions and will additionally be able to use other bank services.
Last year, the number of the retail, Family Office and institutional clients has grown. Despite the turbulent years, our customers increased their investments in the group's managed products, the volume of which we continued to expand. Moreover, in 2022, we actively worked with our existing investments. In 2022, we strengthened the team and started internal transformations, which will be necessary and will have a significant impact on our further activities and business growth after the transaction with Šiaulių Bankas.
We consider the past year to be moderately successful. The moderation in our assessment is determined by the fact that due to an unfavourable situation in the markets, a large part of those who invested, experienced a loss from their investment activities.
6.2. ACTIVITY PLANS AND FORECASTS
We intend to continue to successfully invest and manage assets entrusted to us, develop existing products and create new solutions that meet our customers’ needs, increasing value for retail, Family Office and institutional investors. We do our best to make the year profitable for those who invest with us, but we understand that this will be significantly influenced by the market situation, which is still difficult to predict.
In 2023 we plan to complete the merger of the retail businesses of Šiaulių Bankas and Invalda INVL, which has already been approved by the shareholders' meetings of both parties. In order to complete the transaction, it is necessary not only to obtain the necessary permits from the supervisory authorities, but also to carry out various related transformations. We believe that this transaction will lay the foundations for further successful activity and growth.
One of the priority tasks in 2023 is to strengthen the team since the merger of retail businesses and other changes will require additional professionals to join INVL. The continuous improvement of the whole team is an integral part of our strategy and competitive advantage, it is necessary for the proper performance of our daily tasks and, in particular, for ensuring the further rapid growth of the business of Invalda INVL.
We will strengthen the existing asset management business lines and continue working on creating the new ones, taking advantage of market changes and emerging opportunities. We look forward to an active year, at the end of which we should have completed a number of important processes that will lay the foundation for further successful activity and growth.

18. Risk management
18.1. A DESCRIPTION OF THE PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Economic, geopolitical risks
The activities of the Invalda INVL group of companies are influenced by the general economic, geopolitical and legal environment of the countries where businesses are developed and investments are made. Economic recessions and downturns can affect the companies and assets that we have invested in, both directly and through collective investment undertakings, and reduce their value, while negatively impacting our performance. There is a risk that, in the event of inflation, the value of a stock will grow more slowly than inflation, leading to lower-than- inflation returns. In this case, the real return on the increase in the value of the shares of the persons who sold the company's shares on the market may be lower than expected. In the event of deflation, there would be a risk that the value of the company's investments would decrease due to a decrease in the general price level.
CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2022 | 114
Regulatory risk
The main activity of AB Invalda INVL Group is investment management and life insurance. A significant part of the assets under management consists of the assets of the second pillar pension funds in Lithuania and Latvia, therefore the changing laws related to the pension system may negatively affect the results of this business line. We have opted for a regulated asset management business model, so an increase in the regulatory burden may increase our costs and adversely affect profitability. The asset management business must also meet capital adequacy ratios, which may result in additional contributions to the capital of asset management companies in the event of a loss. Changes in the laws or regulations governing our operations may have a material effect on our business. Changing tax policy, as well as regulatory policy in sectors that depend on public funding, can have negative consequences for our business.
Tax risk
Invalda INVL AB has concluded a number of transactions with related parties and its portfolio companies. Information on transactions concluded by the company with related parties, as provided for in Article 37 (2) of the Law on Companies, is made public. Under current tax law, transactions with related parties must be formalized (i.e., independently and under the same conditions). Despite every effort made by management to ensure compliance with the above standard, the theoretical tax risk remains, i.e. the risk that the applicable charges will be calculated on the basis of market prices if it has been established that certain transactions have not been concluded in accordance with this principle, and the risk that appropriate fines and interest will be charged.
Payouts and liquidity risk

This report is designed to be read as a stand-alone document.

Executive Remuneration
Invalda INVL is an investment management and life insurance group whose companies more than 300 thousand clients have entrusted over 1.9 billion euros of assets. At the end of 2022, equity of Invalda INVL amounted to EUR 130.8 million or EUR 11.07 per share - these indicators were respectively 14.24% and 13.53% higher than a year ago (also taking into account EUR 7.7 million dividends that were paid to shareholders). The increased value of investments in the last quarter of the year led to the fact that the activities of Invalda INVL were profitable last year - a net profit of EUR 16.67 million was obtained. We work purposefully, and we are ready for changes when they are necessary and meaningful. As we planned, in the middle of last year we successfully completed the acquisition of Mandatum Life's life insurance business in the Baltic States. We acquired this business in order to create a group that can offer existing and new INVL customers even more products and solutions that meet their needs. Due to favourable circumstances, we did not have time to fully complete this and integrate the life insurance business into INVL. On 22 November 2022 we signed an agreement with Šiaulių Bankas regarding the merger of part of the retail businesses. After the closing of the transaction, the Šiaulių Bankas group, in addition to the financial services it already offers, will manage second-and third-pillar pension funds and mutual funds in Lithuania and will provide life insurance services. We will have up to 20% of Šiaulių Bankas shares and thus remain in this business.
In 2022. The average number of employees of AB Invalda INVL was 6, of which 3 employees were assigned to the management staff and the company also has 3 specialists. Invalda INVL is a parent company whose operations are concentrated in subsidiaries, many of which are licensed and make their information public.

** Increase due to new duties started in the company, for which remuneration determined by the shareholders' meeting is paid.
As required by law, the company provides comparisons of annual results and earnings. For the sake of comparability, when calculating the changes, the remuneration for 2018 has been recalculated by applying a coefficient of 1.289 due to the reform of transferring employer taxes to the employee that took place in Lithuania from 1 January 2019. Also, the remuneration that was not paid for a full year was converted to the full year equivalent. As can be seen from the table, the company’s results do not directly affect the salaries of either management or other employees. The results of Invalda INVL are determined by the successful activities of asset management companies, high share prices in the securities market, realized sales transactions, etc. Wages are determined taking into account the general market situation, the fulfilment of the employee's annual targets, and so on.
Share options
