** Key figures for year 2019 include the effects of the adoption of IFRS 16 Leases standard.

Kamux's growth in 2019 was the company's highest measured in euros, and also the highest in the company's stock exchange history. Our growth was organic and based on the opening of new showrooms, expansions of current showrooms, and the sales development of like-for-like showrooms.
We reached a revenue of EUR 658.5 million, showing an increase of 24.8 percent from the previous year. Our gross profit grew by 22.8 percent, and our adjusted operating profit was 3.9 percent of revenue. We achieved growth in all our markets.
In Finland, we opened four new showrooms during the year, relocated existing showrooms to new premises and expanded our offering in commercial vehicles. At the end of the year, we announced the first business acquisition in Kamux's history, as we agreed to acquire the business of Autosilta. After the completion of the transaction, a new Kamux showroom was opened in Niittykumpu in Espoo in January 2020.
In Sweden, we reached a positive result for the second consecutive year. We opened four new showrooms in Sweden. Due to the weak exchange rate of the Swedish krona, export sales from Sweden to Europe grew strongly, which increased the prices of used cars in Sweden due to high demand. We succeeded, however, in

our sourcing in the Swedish market by investing especially in consumer purchases. I believe that one of our key success factors is our ability to react to changes quickly and change our mode of operation according to the market situation.
In 2019, we opened two new showrooms in Germany. We continue to be a small operator in the German market, but we gained a stronger foothold in the greater Hamburg area. Our German business developed strongly: we increased our revenue and our operating loss decreased further from the previous year.
Thus, our growth accelerated especially in our international operations, and in 2019 their revenue increased to a total of EUR 211 million.
A notable feature is that our customers' purchase path practically always begins online. Our website sees a total of approximately 800,000 visitors each month. Another example of car sales going digital is the fact that we sold over 1,000 cars through our chat service in 2019.
Discussion on climate change was also reflected in used car sales. We renew the car fleet on our part and bring a significant number of cars running on alternative power sources to meet our customers' mobility

needs. In 2019, we imported a total of 1,891 hybrid, electric and natural gas cars to Finland, amounting to approximately 24 percent of all cars we imported to the country. We have centralized our competence on alternative power sources into the showrooms of Konala in Helsinki and Ideapark in Lempäälä, which have Kamux Green shopin-shop showrooms.
Discussion around cars continued to be active. Power sources, emissions and climate change aspects were highlighted in discussions. In addition, possible car-related changes to tax policies were discussed. In Finland, themes emerging in the discussions included reduction of car-related emissions and challenges in the sales of new cars, while in Sweden, the focus was on the emission tax reform and the WLTPbased tax reform introduced at the turn of the year. In Germany, public discussion revolved largely around the car industry's ability to respond to consumer demand and the European Union CO2 emission standards and requirements by producing electric cars and chargeable hybrids for the markets fast enough.
Despite public discussion, people's mobility needs remained unchanged, and Kamux was able to successfully serve its customers also in 2019 by utilizing the strengths of the business model and growing strongly.
The cornerstones of our concept – professional sourcing and sales, rapid inventory turnover, low fixed costs, integrated service offering and digitalization – are a strong foundation for our business and supported our growth in line with our strategy. For our customers, these were reflected in an extensive selection of cars and affordable prices. With a combination of our versatile digital channels and extensive showroom network, we succeeded in expanding our operations in line with our plans and increasing cross-selling, which is also a demonstration
IN 2020, we will focus on growth as well as improving international profitability.

of the trust of our customers and a successful service process. In addition, we focused on developing, monitoring and managing inventory turnover last year.
We have invested in leading with knowledge and digital customer and business processes. Kamux's business model has been digital from the start, and the role of digitalization in our operations continues to grow. Similar international chains as us, who specialize in used cars and have a strong digital footprint, virtually do not exist.
We supported the implementation of the strategy by investing in leading with knowledge and intelligence. Our goal is to combine supply and demand seamlessly in order to help people in their mobility needs now and in the future.
Kamux's long-term international success is facilitated by its skilled and committed employees. Our personnel grew in line with the business, and in 2019, Kamux employed 595 professionals on average.
As the personnel increased, we invested particularly in sales training and introduction of our concept. We also specified our recruitment and orientation processes. Kamux's training center in Hämeenlinna continued its operations, the number of training days for Kamux's employees totaling 55.
We strengthened our Management Team: Marko Lehtonen started as CFO in June 2019 and Vesa Uotila as Director of Business Development in January 2020.
In the past year, we focused on growth in all our markets. A warm thank you to our customers and all Kamux employees for a year of very strong growth! We will continue our work together as a trendsetter in car sales in the new decade.
Kamux's work in 2020 will focus particularly on developing the company's international profitability and efficiency. We will continue the implementation of our excellent operating model internationally and our work towards our vision to become the number one retail chain specializing in used car sales in Europe.

Juha Kalliokoski CEO, Kamux Corporation

Car retail is based on people's mobility needs. When purchasing a car, customers value alternatives and a selection, a good and competent service in showrooms and easily accessible digital services. The car industry is currently influenced by factors such as technological transformation, discussion on power sources and the climate and car-related tax policies. In 2019, Kamux focused on the systematic implementation of its operating model in all its markets.
T HE OVERALL MARKET for used cars in Europe is approximately twice the size of new car sales, and market changes are smaller than in new car retail. People's mobility needs
remain unchanged, but different transportation needs require different alternatives in the car selection. Consumers value diverse possibilities for online interactions along with reliable and competent service.
Public discussion around traffic emissions, car and fuel taxes and alternative power sources was still active in the first half of 2019, continuing to cause uncertainty among consumers. The effects were reflected more strongly in new car sales, whereas the sales of used cars continued more stable. Kamux continued its growth and retained its market position by systematically implementing its business model.
In 2019, the number of new cars registered in Europe was 1.2 percent higher than in 2018 (ACEA). In Finland, the first-time registrations of new passenger cars decreased by 5.2 percent compared to the year 2018 (the Finnish Information Center of Automobile Sector), in Sweden it increased by 0.7 percent (BIL Sweden) and in Germany, first-time registrations of new passenger cars increased by 5.0 percent (Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt).


first-class service in showrooms and effortless online shopping.

IN FINLAND, WE FURTHER STRENGTHENED our position as the market leader in used car sales. Kamux estimates that the company's market share in Finland is approximately eight percent. According to Kamux's estimate, the market for used cars declined slightly in Finland in 2019.
Combustion engine cars continue to be dominant in Finland. In 2019, approximately 91 percent of first-time registered passenger cars were powered by petrol or diesel or non-chargeable hybrids. Chargeable hybrids were the most popular alternative power source in first-time registered passenger cars, and the share of other alternatives, such as natural gas and electric cars, was still small, although increasing along with the share of all alternative power sources. However, Finland's car fleet changes slowly, and the share of petrol and diesel cars of the entire car stock was 98 percent (Traficom and the Finnish Information Center of Automobile Sector). Finland's passenger car stock increased from the previous year.
THE WEAK EXCHANGE RATE of the Swedish krona strongly increased export sales of used cars from Sweden to several countries for the second consecutive year. A total of over 100,000 used cars were exported from Sweden in 2018 and nearly 120,000 in 2019. Due to increased demand, the prices for used cars in Sweden increased. In addition, some of the showrooms specializing in the sales of new cars expanded their operations to the used car market, increasing competition. Kamux did well in the market situation, driven by its professional sourcing, and was able to offer competitive prices to its customers. The change in the Swedish purchase market and Kamux's success in it is a good

example of the company being able to quickly react to a changed market situation and capitalize on market changes.
The tax change regarding the emissions of new first-time registered cars, introduced in 2018, continued to affect the sales of new cars in Sweden. Towards the end of 2019, consumers anticipated the tax on new cars changing to be based on WLTP emissions tests at the start of 2020, which increased the sales of new cars strongly at the end of the year. According to Kamux's estimate, the market for used cars declined slightly in Sweden in 2019. We increased our foothold in the Swedish market and secured a position among the ten largest operators in 2019. An estimated less than one percent market share provides Kamux, however, with plenty of growth potential. In 2019, approximately 78 percent of first-time registered cars in Sweden were petrol or diesel cars. The share of electric and gas cars and chargeable hybrids among first-time registered cars is growing and totaled approximately 13 percent in 2019, the rest comprising mainly non-chargeable hybrids or ethanol cars (Trafikanalys). The share of petrol and diesel cars of the entire car stock in 2019 totaled 91 percent. Sweden's passenger car fleet increased from the previous year.
IN GERMANY, NO NEW political or societal decisions were made affecting car use or car-related taxes or Kamux's operations otherwise. According to our estimate, the market remained stable and remained at the previous year's level.
In Germany, Kamux is a very unique operator specializing in used car sales, and the company evaluates that there is no corresponding used car retailer in the market. We have established our position and we are a significant operator in used car sales in the greater Hamburg economic area. Kamux's market share in Germany grew but is still very small. In Germany, the combined share of petrol and diesel cars of the car stock in 2019 was approximately 98 percent of all passenger cars, and the number of cars running on alternative power sources was less than two percent. Approximately 90 percent of first-time registered cars were petrol and diesel cars, just over 3 percent were gas and electric cars and chargeable hybrids, and the rest were mainly non-chargeable hybrids (Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt). In Germany, the passenger car stock increased from the previous year.
TRENDS
OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
THERE IS MORE INFORMATION available to consumers nowadays on products and their qualities, pricing and sellers than ever before and, accordingly, consumers are better able to compare various alternatives. The smart shopping trend has been seen to gain popularity. An example of this are several successful retail chains offering a so-called smart shopping alternative for price-conscious consumers. A price-conscious consumer is not willing to pay for what they consider to be unnecessary features, services or settings.
THE ABILITY TO PURCHASE CARS that consumers want at the right prices and to offer consumers used cars that meet the demand at a competitive price has a significant role in Kamux's business model. More affordable car sales has been a central starting point for Kamux's operating model from the beginning.
THE IMPORTANCE OF DIGITAL CHANNELS in retail has continued to grow. Consumers are increasingly using several different channels for making purchases, also in used cars retail. Creating a first-class customer experience and communicating in a manner that builds trust with the customer are becoming increasingly important in the sales of used cars each year. Currently, the majority of Kamux's customer contacts and purchase transactions begin online.
KAMUX'S BUSINESS MODEL has been digital from the start, and the role of digital has continued to strengthen in the company. The customer's purchase path at Kamux can be entirely digital – the car can be purchased online and delivered to the customer's home. The majority of our customers choose to interact with us both online and in the showroom.
ONE OF THE KEY CONSUMER TRENDS is the need for easy and effortless shopping. Consumers appreciate the ease also when selling their used car and buying a newer vehicle. This supports consumer transactions with car retailers instead of car sales between consumers, which is showing a declining trend. Consumers seeking ease and convenience are believed to receive added value from having all the services they need available from the same operator.
KAMUX PROVIDES A FAST AND JUSTIFIED price appraisal for a trade-in car. The pricing is based on vehicle data and pricing information gathered by Kamux and the company's expertise on market price and knowledge of the typical repair needs of different car brands and models. In addition to selling and procuring trade-in cars, Kamux offers its customers integrated services: financing, insurance and Kamux Plus. In line with our customer service concept, the customer can pick up the car from the showroom of their choosing, or the car can be delivered to the customer's home. The customer can get all the services they need to sell or purchase a used car from Kamux. Customer satisfaction developed favorably and was 4.3/5 in 2019 (4.2/5).
KAMUX'S MARKET REGIONS include several different factors that strengthen and maintain the demand for cars. The most important factor is people's need to be mobile for work as well as casual and family errands. The number of cars used in transportation has increased in all Kamux's markets since 2010. In Finland and Sweden, demand for cars is maintained by the long distances and the relatively small population, which weakens the competitiveness of public transport outside of large cities compared to driving. In Germany, demand for cars is supported by the relatively long commuting distances and the popularity of commuting by car.
KAMUX'S PROFESSIONAL AND CENTRALIZED sourcing, diverse sourcing channels and efficient car inventory management enable a versatile selection of competitively priced cars for customers' different needs. Kamux's integrated services such as insurance and financing services as well as increasing the penetration rates of current integrated services and introducing new integrated services form a central part of Kamux's business model.
GLOBAL WARMING and the related discussion also affect the transportation of people and goods, thus also affecting used car retail. Discussion around cars running on alternative power sources has been active, and consumers' interest towards alternative power sources (hybrids and electric and natural gas cars) is increasing, although their share of the car stock is still low. The demand for alternative power sources is impacted by e.g. their price, availability, suitability for one's transportation needs and life situation.
With regards to electric cars, their limited selection, availability and operating range impact consumer decisions. There is a low supply of cars, even new ones, running on alternative power sources available in a lower price range in Finland. This also affects the number of used cars available. The charging stations of electric cars as well as gas refueling stations for natural gas cars are still in the process of expanding to become a comprehensive network.
Different joint ownership and car sharing solutions do not appear to have increased significantly in popularity, and some car sharing services have had to cease operations. People often consider having a car of their own an easier and nicer option, or it is better suited for their way of living and transportation needs. There is a growing interest towards private leasing services.
KAMUX'S FLEXIBLE BUSINESS MODEL enables responding to customers' changing needs in an agile way. In 2019, 24 percent of cars imported by Kamux to Finland were running on alternative power sources, i.e. natural gas, electric or hybrid cars. The import of alternative fuel cars complemented the offering in the Finnish market.
In 2019, the cornerstones of Kamux's strategy remained unchanged. We continued to implement our unique concept and business model in line with our plans. In addition to our business model, the cornerstones of our growth strategy still comprise continuous profitable growth, improving profitability, offering excellent customer experience and our skilled personnel.

IN 2019, THE OPERATIONS AT KAMUX'S TRAINING CENTER in Hämeenlinna continued. We introduced an even more systematic approach to sales training and developed training materials and methods. We recruited people to be in charge of developing recruitment processes in Sweden and Germany. Personnel retention developed favorably in all markets and work satisfaction developed in a positive direction.

RESPONSIBILITY
VISION To become the #1 used car retailer in Europe

Kamux's omnichannel business model combined with strong and profitable growth enables value creation for different stakeholders and more broadly for society.



Unlike traditional brick-and-mortar retail, Kamux's business model has been digital from the start, and the role of digital in the company will increase further
UYING CARS IS often associated with an image of a customer visiting a retail outlet, exploring the different options and then signing the car purchase contract at the store. However, 65–70% of Kamux's customers choose to interact with the company both online and in the showroom.
Cross-selling, i.e. a purchase process that takes place in a digital environment via the website, chat service and phone, already accounts for 33% of sales in Finland and 29% of the Group's sales. As few as 1–2% of Kamux's customers visited only a Kamux showroom in 2019.
A total of over 800,000 visits are made to Kamux's websites in Finland, Sweden and Germany each month, and we have a presence in ten digital marketing channels. The car can be delivered to the customer's home, and all our over 70 showrooms also serve as delivery points for cars bought using digital channels.



MIKKO-HEIKKI INKEROINEN Chief Digital Officer (CDO) at Kamux
DIGITAL IS at the core of all our business operations. The customer's purchase path practically always begins online, as nearly all our customers acquire information about the cars they are inter-
ested in through the Kamux website, search engines or car industry web portals before visiting our showroom. An increasing number of consumers handle the entire purchase process digitally and buy a car online. After this, they take the car to a short test drive upon car delivery. 2019 was a record-breaking year for us, as we sold over 1,000 cars solely through our chat service.
OUR INTERNAL PROCESSES have a strong digital focus as well. An increasing share of the background processes that are invisible to the customer are already digital, from car procurement and buying insurance, among others.
A KEY ENABLER of our digitalization is the CRM/ERP system tailored to Kamux's needs. In 2019, we made significant investments into leading with knowledge and intelligence to support the growth and internationalization of our business and increase cross-selling between Kamux's showrooms and operating countries.

Our internationalization and growth showed strong development in 2019. We achieved growth by expanding our showroom network, increasing sales and improving inventory turnover. We also expanded the offering in existing showrooms. In international markets, we focused on efficient purchase and sales process as well as recruitment.


In 2019, we expanded and developed the offering in our current showrooms. We also expanded our extensive commercial vehicle offering by opening new commercial vehicle outlets in Joensuu and Raisio. In addition, we expanded our commercial vehicle offering in Lahti as we moved to new premises. Entrepreneurs, in particular, want their car to be quickly available after purchase, so in commercial vehicle sales speed is of the essence.
We offer the largest used commercial vehicle selection in the country with over 400 cars, customers can reach us easily online or through chat and the vehicles are not tied to physical stores. Thus, our corporate and private customers can get the car their need, delivered to a location of their choosing, quickly and easily.
Overall, Kamux has showrooms specializing in commercial vehicles in Jyväskylä, Joensuu, Lahti, Oulu, Kuopio, Raisio and Vantaa.
TOMMI IISKONMÄKI Kamux's Country Director, Finland
OUR REVENUE INCREASED to EUR 490.9 million (419.1). Operating profit increased to EUR 29.4 million (24.1), accounting for 6.0 (5.8) percent of revenue in 2019. Revenue growth was driven by opening of new showrooms, expanding the offering in showrooms as well as the sales growth of like-for-like showrooms. The increase in operating profit was accelerated by the effective implementation of our business model and improved inventory turnover. Integrated services revenue increased to EUR 28.4 million (24.0), or 5.8% (5.7) of revenue.
In 2019, we opened four showrooms, bringing the total at the end of the year to 48 showrooms across the country. The number of cars sold increased to 43,404 (38,217). Our market position and our brand awareness continued to strengthen in Finland. We are the market leader in used car retail in Finland. Our versatile digital channels and extensive showroom network supported cross-selling in Finland.
We continued to strengthen our position in the Helsinki metropolitan area as we agreed to acquire the business of Autosilta.
Autosilta's car stock was transferred to Kamux after the transaction was completed on 9 January 2020 and Kamux Niittykumpu began its operations on the premises of Autosilta on 10 January.
There was active discussion throughout the year around topics such as power sources, emissions and climate change. People's mobility needs still remain unchanged, and Kamux was able to successfully serve its customers also in 2019 by utilizing the strengths of the business model and growing strongly.

OUR REVENUE INCREASED to EUR 158.5 million (101.9) and operating profit to EUR 1.3 million (0.9), accounting for 0.8 (0.9) percent of revenue in 2019. The systematic implementation of our operating model and opening of new showrooms supported the increase in revenue and the number of cars sold.
We opened four new showrooms in 2019: Karlskrona, Norrtälje, Helsingborg and Halmstad, and there were a total of 17 Kamux showrooms in Sweden at the end of the year. The number of cars sold increased to 8,263 (6,133). We continued our persistent work in the Swedish market, experiencing strong growth. Our operations and foothold in Sweden strengthened as we expanded our showroom network, developed sourcing channels and increased focus on the recruitment process as well as employee induction and training, in accordance with our plans.
The emission tax reform introduced in Sweden in 2018 weakened the sales of new cars at the beginning of the year, but the WLTP-based tax reform which came into force in early 2020 boosted sales at the end of 2019. The export sales of used cars from Sweden increased strongly for the second consecutive year, which resulted in price pressure in used cars. We invested in customer purchases and were able to quickly react to the market situation, which is a demonstration of the flexibility of our operating model in different situations.

ued and our result continued to develop favorably. The weak exchange rate of the Swedish krona accelerated demand and export sales of used cars across Europe for the second consecutive year. Kamux invested in customer purchases and versatile use of different sourcing channels. The flexible operating model helped the company to succeed even in this market situation.
During the year, we invested in particular in our sourcing channels, inventory management and pricing. We will continue to focus on offering our customers the right cars always at the right prices.

OUR REVENUE INCREASED to EUR 52.2 million (30.1). The revenue growth was driven by two new showroom openings during the year in Stade and Heide, strengthening of our concept and improved inventory turnover. During the year, we increased our market position especially in the greater Hamburg area. At the end of the year, Kamux had a total of six showrooms in Germany. Operating loss decreased further and totaled EUR -1.0 million (-1.8). The number of cars sold increased to 3,765 (2,246).
In 2019, we focused on developing our business model and operations in line with the cornerstones of our concept. Our profitability developed favorably.

IN 2019, WE RENEWED the main themes of our responsibility program and set new goals and performance metrics for them. Kamux's Management Team and experts participated in the process. For the materiality analysis, we used our customers' feedback and questions as the stakeholder viewpoint, we interviewed analysts and investors, and used the information gathered from employee surveys. Kamux's key stakeholders include our customers, personnel, owners, partners, authorities and decision-makers as well as the car industry.
The most essential topics have been listed under each theme. The themes, goals and performance metrics were adopted in late 2019.


WE HAVE RENEWED our responsibility reporting to match the themes of our responsibility program. We have chosen performance metrics and indicators that support these themes. We will continue to monitor our performance and collect data as well as develop the process further in the
coming years. Due to the nature of our business, Kamux has gained information on the development and impacts of the vehicle stock. Thus, our corporate responsibility data not only covers performance metrics but also data on the content of indicators that we consider to be of general benefit.

Kamux's Management Team is responsible for setting and monitoring the themes, goals and performance metrics of the corporate responsibility program. The Board of Directors of Kamux approves the corporate responsibility program and the results of the work and discusses matters related to responsibility in their meetings. The Director of Communications coordinates daily responsibility work with experts in various fields.
Risks related to corporate responsibility are identified and managed as a part of Kamux's comprehensive risk management work. Responsibility topics, including the related risks, are discussed in every Management Team meeting, and they form a part of the Board of Directors' reporting package.
We want many people to have a possibility to buy a newer, lower emission vehicle. Kamux supports the national energy and climate strategy and emissions reduction targets. As the CO2 load of the car manufacturing industry is high, existing vehicles should be used in a sensible way to the end of their life-cycle and the remaining materials reused within the circular economy. On the other hand, the disposable income of households defines the price category of the vehicles most people can purchase.
The five most popular first-time registered vehicles in Finland in 2019 were Skoda Octavia, Toyota Corolla, Nissan Qashqai, Toyota Yaris and Ford Focus, all in the price of EUR 20,000–30,000 when bought new. 17.6% of the cars Kamux sold in Finland last year belonged to this price category when bought used, and 90.1% fell into the price category of under EUR 30,000 when bought used.
We renew Finland's car fleet by importing newer cars with lower CO2 emissions compared to those currently used on Finnish roads on average. The average age of the cars imported by Kamux was 4.1 years in 2019, compared to the average age of approximately 12.2 years of passenger cars used in Finnish transportation in 2019, reported by the Finnish Information Centre of Automobile Sector. According to Statistics
Finland, the average age of registered passenger cars and passenger cars used in transportation has risen every year since 2007.
Domestic transportation accounts for a fifth of all greenhouse gas emissions in Finland. The share of passenger car transportation emissions accounts for just over half of all road transportation emissions. In Finland, emissions have decreased by approximately a third in ten years, from 2008 to the end of 2018. The average CO2 emissions for passenger cars used in Finnish transportation were 155.4 g/km (NEDC). The average CO2 emissions for cars imported by Kamux were 129.7 g/km (NEDC). The average in EU countries was 120.4 g/km (NEDC, Traficom).
24.1% of the cars we imported into Finland in 2019 were running on alternative power sources, including hybrids, electric, natural gas or ethanol cars, and they accounted for 5.9% of all the cars we sold in Finland. The share of cars running on alternative fuels was larger than in new cars sold in Finland in 2019.
Our shop-in-shop concept Kamux Green offers a wide selection of hybrid, electric and gas cars under one roof. First established in the Konala showroom in Helsinki, Kamux Green has already expanded in the Lempäälä showroom in Ideapark.
Even though the relative numbers of alternative power sources have increased,
the absolute numbers are still low. In 2019, 8.8% of first-time registered passenger cars in Finland were gas, electric and ethanol cars as well as rechargeable hybrids, 77.6% were combustion engines and 13.6% were non-rechargeable hybrids (Finnish Information Centre of Automobile Sector). In 2019, under 2% of Finland's entire car fleet consisted of gas, electric and ethanol cars as well as rechargeable hybrids.
In 2019 in Sweden, approximately 13% of first-time registered cars (Trafa.se) and approximately 7% of the entire car fleet were gas, electric and ethanol cars as well as rechargeable hybrids. In 2019 in Germany, well over 3% of first-time registered cars and under 2% of the entire car fleet were gas, electric and ethanol cars as well as rechargeable hybrids (Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt).
We use resources sensibly and expect the same from our partners. Kamux's operations are based on recycling and they are a part of a circular economy where non-renewable natural resources are saved through repairs, reusing and recycling. We carry out used car retail by purchasing cars through our delivery network and from individual consumers and by selling them forward. Purchasing cars is always done according to Kamux's procurement guidelines
The direct climate impacts of our operations result primarily from heating the showrooms and moving cars between showrooms. We seek to optimize the transportation of cars through the selection of routes and transportation modes. By investing in leading with knowledge, we aim to combine supply and demand. Thus, we can place the cars in our showrooms in a way that minimizes transferring them.
We have instructed our personnel on driving in an economical and environmentally friendly way. The cars are fueled with only the necessary amount of fuel. Service, repair and cleaning are done by local partners to avoid driving unnecessarily. This is also a way of supporting businesses to provide employment across the country in all
KAMUX RECYCLES EXISTING COMMODITIES. In terms of CO2 emissions, cars should not be scrapped until they reach the age of 15−20 years. A used car is often a sensible option in terms of total emissions. The average age of the cars we imported into Finland was 4.1 years in 2019.

of Kamux's operating countries. We have approximately 5,000 partners in total, including car procurement channels and partners.
We use recycled spare parts of high quality when possible. For example, motors, gear systems, turbos, steering gears and other bigger spare parts are mainly rebuilt. Smaller spare parts are new. We expect that our partners recycle their waste such as batteries, tires and problem waste in an appropriate manner.
We minimize the amount of waste and recycle the waste we produce. We pay Finnish Car Recycling a yearly membership fee related to recycling car parts appropriately. We favor teleconferences over traveling. We favor recycled furniture when furnishing our office premises.
In 2019, the amount of waste totaled 21.85 tons. The waste recovery rate was 97% and the recycling rate was 13%. This information covers 44 out of 48 showrooms in Finland. In the remaining four showrooms, waste management is part of a more comprehensive property maintenance contract.

We restrain energy consumption in showrooms, focusing particularly on properties where we can directly influence the used energy solutions. The energy consumption and emissions of our showrooms result primarily from lighting and heating. Often, these fall under rental agreements, which means that Kamux cannot influence them directly. The electricity consumption of 18 showrooms in Finland as well as the Hämeenlinna office premises totaled 1,480 MWh in 2019.

creating a culture of trust and openness. We comply with laws and regulations and require our employees to follow Kamux's Code of Conduct in their daily work.
Each new Kamux salesperson receives a thorough training for the working ways of the Code of Conduct. Internally, this promotes the good consumer sales and governance practices facilitating the excellent customer experience which is of strategic importance to Kamux.
At Kamux, we do not advance our own interests nor accept bribes and do not approve, facilitate or advance money laundering or grey economy. We also require all suppliers of cars, services or other goods partnering with us to comply with our Code of Conduct in addition to laws and regulations.
We always comply with the Consumer Protection Act and during the sales process, we disclose the condition of the car and its potential shortcomings honestly and participate in car repair costs in accordance with the life-cycle approach recommended by consumer advice services.
Kamux offers its employees an anonymous whistle blowing channel for reporting any possible actions violating the Code of Conduct, possible misconduct or suspicions of misconduct. There is also a general feedback email available on the company's website. In 2019, we received two whistle blowing notifications from outside the company, which were processed and investigated according to the process. They did not warrant further action.
Kamux wants to offer the best customer experience in used car retail. The goal is for our customer interactions to be smooth, transparent, creating trust and encouraging recommendations. For customers buying a car, we offer the possibility of smooth omnichannel interactions – most of our customers today choose a combination of online and showroom service.
All customers who have purchased a car are sent a customer satisfaction survey. The results of the survey function as a key indicator for the success of our operations and service. Kamux has set the customer satisfaction target level at 4.5/5. In 2019, a total of 5,140 of Kamux's car-purchasing customers (6,081 in 2018) took part in the survey, and we achieved an overall score of 4.3/5 (4.2/5 in 2018) in our markets. Customer satisfaction improved from the previous year towards the target we have set. We believe that this development was supported by the internal trainings we organized during the year, which focused on customer experience.
Kamux's after-sales service team together with sales are tasked with managing claims in accordance with the company's internal guidelines in all operating countries. We aim to handle claims as openly, quickly and fairly as possible to achieve a firstclass customer experience in all situations, which is why we increased resources in our after-sales service in 2019.
Kamux is committed to profitable growth. Our goal is to increase our shareholder val-
ue through long-term, systematic work. We estimate that our growth is based on a solid foundation; we develop our existing showrooms and open new showrooms in strategically important sales venues in growth centers and in good retail hub locations. We increase sales by using digital sales and customer service channels and cross-selling.
After the stock exchange listing in 2017, Kamux's revenue has increased by approximately 20 percent per year. During the financial year 2019, our revenue increased to EUR 658.5 million, growing by 24.8 percent from the previous year. Our adjusted operating profit was EUR 25.4 million, accounting for 3.9 percent of revenue. Return on equity in 2019 was 25%. Kamux aims to distribute a dividend of at least 30 percent of profit for the financial year. For the financial year 2019, Kamux's Board of Directors proposed a dividend payout of 48.4 percent of profit.
Our tax footprint was EUR 74.1 (56.8) million. The most significant amounts related to payment of taxes were the car taxes as well as marginal and VAT taxes paid. We paid EUR 5.0 (4.9) million in income tax in 2019.


Kamux strives to compensate its employees in a fair and equal way. Our goal is to have a transparent and motivating remuneration model, in which a salesperson's compensation consists of a basic salary and a performance-based pay. Performance-based compensation is tied to the number of cars sold, profit and the sales of integrated services. The compensation model is developed in open interaction with Kamux's sales personnel.
Kamux paid a total of EUR 28 million in salaries to the personnel in 2019. The amounts of salaries paid was 28.5 percent higher than in 2018, while the revenue increased by 24.8 percent in the financial year 2019.
Kamux operates in accordance with the employees' rights defined by the International Labor Organization (ILO), country-specific labor legislation as well as the United Nations' Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In 2019, we carried out a survey on work satisfaction and well-being. The results in Finland remained at the same level as in the previous survey (2017), the overall score being 3.93. The results in Sweden and Germany improved significantly: the overall score was 4.16 in Sweden and 3.96 in Germany. The survey clearly shows our successful efforts put in the work of immediate supervisors and functioning work community. Kamux's results exceed those of the control group in the wholesale and retail trade.
In 2020, we will pay special attention to monitoring the working capacity and resources of our personnel. These are advanced, for example, by offering monthly webinar trainings for managers and new tools for employees to improve work performance, and by developing our training portal.
At Kamux, most work is performed in showrooms or office premises, where workplace accidents are rare. The most typical accidents in our operations result from slipping or stumbling. We aim at zero accidents

leading to absence from work. During 2019, a total of 14 accidents occurred that led to absence from work. No serious workplace accidents occurred in 2019.
We aim to influence the number of ab sences due to sickness with, for instance, an early support model. The goal is to prevent challenges related to working ability at the earliest stage possible. The overall health percentage of our personnel was 67, which means that approximately two thirds of our employees were not absent from work due to sickness during the year. The health per centage increased from the previous year and was at a good level according to the company's estimate. Kamux's occupational health care partner is Terveystalo.
Kamux is a responsible employer and aims to treat all employees equally, respecting their privacy, religious freedom as well as freedom of association and collective bargaining.
We aim to build an even more diverse work community. The number of languages used in sales work reflects our cultural diver sity. In 2019, Kamux employees served their customers in 27 different languages. Con verted to person-years, we employed an av erage of 595 (472) people during 2019, of which 91 percent were male (90) and 9 per cent were female (10).
We support and accelerate young people's access to working life by offer ing car sales work right after graduating from school, or by offering summer jobs to students. We also extend careers by em ploying senior citizens in car delivery tasks. In 2019, our youngest employees were 15-year-old summer workers, and our old est employees were 81-year-old car couriers.
A skilled and committed personnel is the key enabler of our long-term international success. We want to be a fair, inspiring and motivating employer every day. In 2019, we put a more systematic focus on the training of our sales personnel and managers in par ticular, so that every new Kamux employee is in the best possible position to succeed in their work.
The Kamux training center continued to operate in a more focused manner. We developed sales training methods and ma terials and launched a web portal to sup port learning. Kamux sales personnel train ing includes classroom teaching sessions, a learning and task module in the web por tal and an on-the-job learning period in a showroom. A total of 98 percent of our new salespeople completed the Kamux training program for new sales personnel in 2019. A full-scale version of the e-learning portal will be deployed in 2020. In the future, we will be able to monitor the scope, learning pro gress and results of the online trainings in more detail. In 2020, the trainings will also reflect the development discussions we hold with each Kamux employee, in order to pro vide trainings which are even more tailored for each employee's development needs.
WE CONTINUED IMPLEMENTING our values in 2019, which we clarified together with our personnel. Our values guide all our operations and are present in everything we do from salespersons' development discussions to daily sales work.

Kamux's Board of Directors has assessed that due to the nature of the company's operations, the number of employees and geographical scope, it is not necessary to organize internal auditing as a separate function. The Board of Directors shall evaluate on a yearly basis whether such function should be established. In 2019, internal audit was carried out by an external service provider.

On 27 April 2017, Kamux's Board of Directors decided to establish a share-based incentive program for Kamux's key personnel. The objective of the share-based incentive program is to align the targets of shareholders
and key personnel in order to increase the long-term value of Kamux as well as to strengthen the commitment of key personnel to Kamux and offer them a competitive incentive program based on earning and accruing of shares in the company.
As part of a share-based incentive program, the Board of Directors of Kamux Corporation decided on 23 January 2019, to approve the detailed terms and conditions of the share-based incentive plan for the Group's key personnel for 2019. The earnings period for the share-based incentive plan is the 2019 calendar year. The amount of any gross reward paid pursuant to the plan for the earnings period will be determined by the achievement of goals set as the earnings criteria. According to the decision by the Board of Directors, the earnings criterion applicable for the 2019 earnings period is achieving the EBIT target for 2019 set by the Board of Directors. Any reward resulting from the plan will be paid after the end of the earnings period by the end of May 2020, in the company's shares unless the Board of Directors decides to pay the reward partly or fully in cash. The reward to be paid will consist of the net number of shares that remain after deducting the monetary sum required to cover the taxes for the confirmed reward. If a key person's employment or service relationship ends before

the payment of the reward, no reward will normally be paid.
The Board of Directors selects key persons, who are eligible to participate in the incentive plan. According to the terms and conditions of the share-based incentive program, the Board of Directors may decide to accept new participants in the scheme during the earnings period. Persons eligible to participate in the incentive plan do not include those whose employment ended during 2019. By the decision of Kamux's Board of Directors, the incentive plan included a total of 27 people at the end of 2019.
If the maximum target level set for the earnings criterion is achieved, the total amount of rewards paid under the 2019 share-based remuneration plan would be up to approximately EUR 1.0 million (gross), which is estimated to correspond to up to approximately 180,000 Kamux shares, calculated on the basis of the average price of the Kamux share in December 2018.
The net shares paid as a reward will be subject to a transfer restriction during the commitment period. The commitment period begins when the reward is paid and ends on 31 December 2021. A member of the Group's Management Team shall own at least half of the net shares received as a reward based on the plan until their shareholding in the company corresponds to the value of their annual salary (ownership obligation). The ownership obligation remains valid as long as the person remains a member of the Group's Management Team.
The issuance of shares in accordance with the terms and conditions of the sharebased incentive program is based on the authorization given to the Board of Directors of Kamux on 26 April 2018 by the shareholders of the company by a unanimous decision. The Board of Directors of Kamux is authorized to decide on issuing a maximum of 400,000 new and/or existing shares to reward Kamux's key personnel in accordance with the share-based incentive program. The intention is to extend the share-based incentive program with corresponding new earnings periods beginning annually at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
The incentive scheme now approved for 2019 is the second scheme approved on the basis of the decision made by the Board of Directors on 27 April 2017 to establish an incentive scheme. The plan of 2018 included 22 Kamux's key persons and the terms of the program were the same as in the 2019 program.
Additional information on Kamux's share-based incentive programs can be found on the company's website at https:// www.kamux.com/en/corporate-governance/remuneration/

In addition, committee members will be paid EUR 1,500 annually. Travel expenses are paid according to the company's travel policy.
Kamux and Virtanen Consulting GmbH (consultancy firm under Chairperson of the Board Matti Virtanen's authority) signed a consultancy agreement on 1 February 2016, under which Virtanen Consulting GmbH will be paid a separate contractual fee of EUR 9,000 per month for consultancy services related to Kamux's internationalization.

Kamux is a retail chain specialising in used car purchases and sales. Kamux had 48 car showrooms in Finland, 17 in Sweden and 6 in Germany as of December 31, 2019.
Kamux is a retail chain specializing in purchasing and selling used cars. On December 31, 2019, Kamux had 48 car showrooms in Finland, 17 in Sweden and 6 in Germany.
The overall market for used cars in Europe is approximately twice the size of new car sales, and market changes are smaller than in new car retail. People's mobility needs remain unchanged, but different mobility needs require different alternatives in the car selection. Today's consumers value diverse possibilities for online interactions along with reliable and competent service.
The development of the used car market is affected by the general economic situation as well as the development of the size of the population and urbanization. There have been changes in consumer behavior and consumers' willingness to own a car in recent years. However, the impacts of the sharing economy and new forms of mobility services on the used car market are expected to be small. Public debate and potential political decisions concerning emissions and climate change, car and fuel taxes and safety requirements may impact the used car market development.
In 2019, the number of new cars registered in Europe was 1.2% higher than in 2018 (ACEA). In Finland, the number of first-registered passenger cars decreased by 5.2% compared to 2018 (The Finnish Information Centre of Automobile Sector), in Sweden the number of first-registered passenger cars increased by 0.7% (BIL Sweden) and in Germany, the increase was 5.0% (Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt).
Public discussion around traffic emissions, car and fuel taxes
and alternative power sources was still active in the first half of 2019, continuing to cause uncertainty among consumers. The effects were reflected more strongly in new car sales, whereas the sales of used cars continued more stable. Kamux continued its growth and retained its market position by systematically implementing its business model. We further strengthened our position as the market leader in used car sales. Kamux estimates that the company's market share in Finland is approximately eight percent.
Combustion engine cars continue to be dominant in Finland. In 2019, approximately 91 percent of first-time registered passenger cars were powered by petrol or diesel or non-chargeable hybrids. In alternative power sources, rechargeable hybrid cars were the most popular amongst firsttime registered passenger cars. The share of gas and electric-powered cars remained small, although it was increasing, as was the share of all alternative power sources. However, Finland's car stock changes slowly, and the share of petrol and diesel cars of the entire car stock was approximately 98 percent. Finland's passenger car stock grew from the previous year and continued to age. (Traficom, the Finnish Information Center of Automobile Sector and Liikennefakta)
The weak exchange rate of the Swedish krona strongly increased export sales of used cars to several countries for the second consecutive year. A total of over 100,000 used cars were exported from Sweden in 2018 and nearly 120,000 in 2019. Due to increased demand, the prices for used cars in Sweden increased. In addition, some of the showrooms specializing in the sales of new cars expanded their operations to the used car market, increasing competition.
The tax change regarding the emissions of new first-
time registered cars, introduced in 2018, continued to affect the sales of new cars in Sweden in early 2019. Towards the end of 2019, consumers anticipated the tax on new cars changing to be based on WLTP emissions tests at the start of 2020, which increased the sales of new cars strongly at the end of the year. We increased our foothold in the Swedish market and secured a position among the ten largest operators in 2019. An estimated less than one percent market share provides Kamux, however, with plenty of growth potential. In 2019, approximately 78 percent of first-time registered cars in Sweden were petrol or diesel cars. The share of electric and gas cars and chargeable hybrids among first-time registered cars is growing and totaled approximately 13 percent in 2019, the rest comprising mainly non-chargeable hybrids or ethanol cars. The share of petrol and diesel cars of the entire car stock in 2019 totaled 91 percent. Sweden's passenger car stock increased from the previous year. (Trafikanalys).
In Germany, no new political or societal decisions were made affecting car use or car-related taxes or Kamux's operations otherwise. In Germany, public discussion revolved largely around the car industry's ability to respond to consumer demand and European Union CO2 emission standards and requirements by producing electric cars and chargeable hybrids for the markets fast enough. According to our estimate, the market remained stable during the year.
We have established our position in used car sales in the greater Hamburg economic area. Kamux's market share in Germany grew but is still very small. In Germany, the combined share of petrol and diesel cars of the car stock in 2019 was approximately 98 percent of all passenger cars, and the number of cars running on alternative power sources was
REPORT BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
less than two percent. Approximately 90 percent of firsttime registered cars were petrol and diesel cars, just over 3 percent were gas and electric cars and chargeable hybrids, and the rest were mainly non-chargeable hybrids. In Germany, the passenger car stock increased from the previous year. (Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt)
Revenue increased by 24.8% compared to the previous year and amounted to EUR 658.5 million (1–12/2018: 527.8). The increase in revenue was driven by the opening of new showrooms, expansions of existing showrooms and sales growth of like-for-like showrooms. The growth was fully organic. The number of cars sold by Kamux in Finland, Sweden and Germany amounted to 55,432 (46 596). In connection with the sale of used cars Kamux offers its customers commission-based services such as insurance and financing services, and a liability extension, Kamux Plus, that supplements the seller's statutory liability. Kamux's integrated services revenue was EUR 32.9 million (27.1).
The adjusted operating profit increased by 16.1% and amounted to EUR 25.4 million (21.9), or 3.9% (4.1) of revenue.

Kamux's operating model is focused on used car retail. The cornerstones of the company's omnichannel business model are professional sourcing and sales, rapid inventory turnover, low fixed costs and integrated services. Our vision is to be the number one retail chain specializing in used car sales in Europe.
The used car market is large and fragmented, which combined with the company's business model offers attractive growth potential. The core of our growth strategy comprises continuous profitable growth, excellent customer experience and skilled personnel.
Kamux's strong and profitable growth enables value creation for different stakeholders and for society as a whole. Promoting mobility and renewing Finland's car fleet are examples of the impact Kamux has on society. Economic and social impacts are seen, for example, in tax payments and employment around Finland. Kamux aims to distribute a dividend of at least 30 percent of profit for the financial year.
Sustainable ways of working are central for the company's business, its development and the relations between Kamux and its stakeholders. Kamux complies with the laws, rules and regulations in force in each of its operating countries. Taxes and other payments are carried out in accordance with local legislation.
Responsibility, ethics, honesty and equality are a part of Kamux employees' everyday actions. Kamux's values are teamwork, joy and drive; freedom and accountability; happy customers; profitable business and responsibility.
In 2019, we renewed our Corporate responsibility program and chose the following as its main themes: sensible choices (environment and circular economy), worth the trust (way of working and customer service) and enthusiasm for work (personnel). Each theme includes topics identified as essential as well as goals and performance metrics. The figures presented in this Non-financial information statement cover the essential topics in question. We will continue to monitor our performance and collect data as well as develop the process further in the coming years. We are also committed to contributing to the United Nations' global Sustainable Development Goals in our operations.
Kamux wants to be a car retail forerunner in building a culture
of trust and openness. The company's operations, management and governance are on all markets based on Kamux's Code of Conduct, good governance and careful compliance with current requirements.
Kamux also expects all suppliers of cars, services or goods to comply with the Code of Conduct. The principles are included in the company's procurement policy. Other key policies and principles include, for example, the diversity policy approved by Kamux's Board of Directors.
Risks related to corporate responsibility are identified and managed as a part of Kamux's comprehensive risk management work. In addition, responsibility topics, including the related risks, are discussed in every Management Team meeting, and they form a part of the Board of Directors' reporting package.
The company has an anonymous whistle blowing channel for reporting any possible actions violating the Code of Conduct, possible misconduct or suspicions of misconduct. There is also a general feedback email available on the company's website. In 2019, we received two whistle blowing notifications from outside the company, which were processed and investigated according to the process. They did not warrant further action.
Kamux supports the national energy and climate strategy and emissions reduction targets. We want many people to have a possibility to buy a newer, lower emission vehicle. As the CO2 emissions of the car manufacturing industry are high, existing vehicles should be used in a sensible way to the end of their life-cycle and the remaining materials reused within the circular economy. Kamux's operations are based on recycling and they are part of a circular economy

where non-renewable natural resources are saved through repairs, reusing and recycling.
We renew Finland's car stock by importing newer cars with lower CO2 emissions compared to those currently used on Finnish roads on average. The average age of the cars imported by Kamux was 4.1 years in 2019, compared to the average age of approximately 12.2 years of passenger cars used in Finnish transportation in 2019, reported by the Finnish Information Centre of Automobile Sector.
In 2019, the CO2 emissions of Kamux's imported cars were on average 129.7 g/km (NEDC). The average CO2 emissions for passenger cars used in Finnish transportation were 155.4 g/km (NEDC) at the end of 2019. 24.1% of the cars we imported into Finland in 2019 were running on alternative power sources, including hybrids, electric, natural gas or ethanol cars, and they accounted for 5.9% of all the cars we sold in Finland.
By investing in leading with knowledge, we aim to combine supply and demand. Thus, we can place the cars in our showrooms in a way that minimizes transferring them. Service, repair and cleaning are also done by local partners.
We use recycled spare parts of high quality when possible. We minimize the amount of waste and recycle the waste we produce. In 2019, the amount of waste totaled 21.85 tons. The waste recovery rate was 97% and the recycling rate was 13%. This information covers 44 out of 48 showrooms in Finland. We restrain energy consumption in showrooms, focusing particularly on properties where we can directly influence the used energy solutions.
Kamux wants to offer the best customer experience in used car retail. The goal is for our customer interactions to be smooth, transparent and encourage recommendations. Kamux has set the customer satisfaction target level at 4.5/5. We achieved from all our markets an overall score of 4.3/5 (4.2/5). Customer satisfaction improved from the previous year towards the target we have set. This development was supported by the internal trainings we organized during the year, which focused on customer experience.
Kamux has approximately 5,000 local maintenance, repair and cleaning partners, including car purchase channels and partners. Our partners employ people in different parts of the country in all Kamux's operating countries. We build close partnerships that are based on compliance with our Code of Conduct.
An enthusiastic, committed and skilled personnel is the cornerstone of Kamux's operations. Kamux is a fair workplace that ensures employee engagement by providing career advancement opportunities, training and a motivating reward system.
The 2019 work satisfaction survey results remained at the same level as in the previous survey (2017) in Finland, the overall score being 3.93. In Sweden and Germany, the scores improved clearly. The overall score was 4.16 in Sweden and 3.96 in Germany. The survey reflects our strong efforts in immediate supervisor work and the functioning of the work community.
The health percentage of our personnel was 67, which means that approximately two thirds of our employees were not absent from work due to sickness during the year. We aim at zero accidents leading to absence from work. During 2019, a total of 14 accidents occurred that led to absence from work, but there were no serious work-related accidents.
In 2019, we made more systematic efforts in the training
of sales personnel and supervisors in particular. The Kamux training center continued to operate in a more focused manner. We developed sales training methods and materials and launched a web portal to support learning. A total of 98 percent of our new salespeople completed the Kamux training program for new sales personnel in 2019.
Kamux is a responsible employer and aims to treat all employees equally, respecting their privacy, religious freedom as well as freedom of association and collective bargaining. In 2019, Kamux employees served their customers in 27 different languages. Converted to full-time equivalent employees, we employed 595 (472) people on average during 2019, of which 91 percent were male (90) and 9 percent were female (10). In 2019, our youngest employees were 15-year-old summer workers, and our oldest employees were 81-yearold car couriers.
Kamux's diversity policy promotes balanced gender diversity when electing Board members and includes Board members having skills and experience in different business areas that complement each other and support the company's core functions. The diversity of the Board of Directors is supported by the diverse professional and educational background of members as well as consideration for the age distribution. The diversity goals defined in Kamux's diversity policy are evaluated to be adequately realized in 2019.
Kamux operates in accordance with the United Nations' Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the employees' rights defined by the International Labor Organization (ILO). Respecting human rights highlights equality as an employer, a safe working environment, equal opportunities to develop as a car sales professional as well as diversity of management. Kamux does not tolerate human rights violations

in any form. The company has zero tolerance for corruption and bribery. The awareness and readiness of personnel are developed through trainings and internal guidelines.
The aim of risk management is to ensure the keeping of customer promises, profit development, the ability to pay dividends, shareholder value, responsible operating practices and the continuity of business. Kamux has harmonized and efficient methods to identify, assess and manage risks and their consequences. Kamux complies with the internal control and risk management principles approved by the company's Board of Directors.
Risk management is a systematic activity, the purpose of which is to guarantee comprehensive and appropriate identification, assessment, management and monitoring of risks. It is an essential part of Kamux's planning and management process, decision-making, daily leadership, operations and supervision and reporting procedures. Risks are assessed and managed in a business-oriented fashion and comprehensively. This means that the key risks are identified, assessed, managed, monitored and reported on systematically as part of the business.
Kamux only takes conscious and calculated risks in expanding its business, strengthening its market position and creating new business. In assessing the risks, the company takes into account not only economic aspects but also the impact on people, the environment and reputation. Kamux creates a safe working environment for employees and minimizes the potential for crime or misconduct. The company secures business-critical operations and the resources needed to ensure continuity. Kamux prepares for the realization of risks, for example, by maintaining adequate insurance coverage and information security.
The Group's CEO and other members of the Management Team each have their own responsibility areas. The Management Team regularly reports to the Board on risks and risk management actions. The Board reviews most significant risks, measures to manage them, and assesses the effectiveness of risk management. The CFO is responsible for the coordination of risk management. Kamux has created common operating principles in its Code of Conduct, which is available in Finnish, Swedish, German and English. The Code of Conduct is one part of pre-emptive risk management.
General economic conditions may have an adverse effect on the used car retail market in which Kamux operates. The risk is managed by closely monitoring the general economic development and its impact on Kamux's business. Other risks related to the economy include interest rate, financing and tax risks, which are monitored and mitigated as described in the Group's Treasury Policy.
The used car retail market is highly fragmented, and Kamux's competitors range from large nationwide brand dealerships to private individuals in all of its geographical markets. Kamux responds to tightening competition through continuous competitive situation assessment and development of the Kamux concept.
Kamux offers its customers third-party financing products, which are significant for Kamux's profit-making ability. Potential considerable changes in credit granting by financial institutions, interest rates offered to customers or the financial situation of an individual financial institution may impact the supply and competitiveness of financing products in the market. Kamux closely monitors the development of customer funding in the market and cooperates with several leading financial institutions in different markets.
Changes or expected changes in car taxes also affect the demand for used cars, especially in Finland, where car taxes form a significant part of the car's price. Political debate or political decisions about possible emission limitations and bans, car- or fuel taxes and increased safety requirements may, if implemented, affect the development of the used car market.
The lively public debate on the alternative power sources of vehicles has continued in 2019. Kamux's offering also includes alternative power sources and their share of imported cars in particular has been considerable. Quick changes in the attractiveness and pricing of different power sources may impact the market prices of used cars. Kamux operationally manages the risk related to inventory valuation by paying continuous attention to sufficiently fast inventory turnover and by monitoring industry trends regarding power sources.
Kamux's brand and reputation among customers and other stakeholders are important factors of success. Kamux works to minimize reputation risk by monitoring the development of customer satisfaction, maintaining high customer service levels and operating in a responsible way.
Skilled employees deliver Kamux's performance. Kamux's human resource strategy identifies employees as the most important resource of the Group, and employees are instrumental in achieving set business goals. Managing personnel growth has been identified as a risk. Personnel risk is minimized through a systematic recruitment process, tracking and developing employee satisfaction and well-being, training and a rewarding incentive system.
Kamux's IT systems are especially important and cover all key business areas such as customer information, inventory

monitoring, logistics, human resources, finance and other administrative systems. Kamux collects, processes and retains confidential customer information in connection with its normal business. The business premises and systems of Kamux and its external service providers may be exposed to risks related to unauthorized use, misuse, employee mistakes or misconduct, computer viruses, hacker attacks or other similar threats. Kamux aims to prevent failures by means defined in its information security strategy.

Kamux presents alternative performance measures as additional information to performance measures presented in the consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of financial position and consolidated statement of cash flows prepared in accordance with IFRS. In Kamux's view, the alternative performance measures provide significant additional information related to Kamux's results of operations, financial position and cash flows, and they are widely utilized by analysts, investors and other parties.
The alternative performance measures should not be considered separately from measures under IFRS or as substitutes for corresponding measures under IFRS. All companies do not calculate alternative performance measures in a uniform way and therefore the alternative performance measures presented by Kamux may not be comparable with similarly named measures presented by other companies.
In the comparison year 2018, Kamux received a tax reassessment decision from the Finnish Tax Administration. The decision was related to a tax audit carried out by the Finnish Tax Administration in 2016–2018 concerning Kamux Suomi Oy and the tax years 2012–2016. Kamux expensed the total amount of the tax reassessment decision, approximately EUR 2.6 million, in full in its result for the second quarter of 2018. However, Kamux considers the decision to be unfounded and has appealed against the decision. The status of the tax reassessment appeal remains unresolved.

Kamux opened its second car showroom in 2006 and by 2010 it had expanded its network to 14 car showrooms in Finland. In 2010 Kamux started to offer integrated services to its customers. In 2011 Finnish private equity investor Intera Partners acquired control of Kamux with the existing management staying as company shareholders. Intera's aim was to provide Kamux with additional resources and know-how for expanding operations in Finland and abroad. Kamux expanded into Sweden in late 2012 and into Germany in December 2015. At the end of year 2016 the company had a total of 47 showrooms in three countries. In 2017 Kamux was listed on the Nasdaq Helsinki resulting in over 1,200 new shareholders for the company.

Kamux offers its customers financing products from third party service providers at all of its car showrooms in Finland, Sweden and Germany. In addition, Kamux offers insurance products and a liability extension product for car repair costs, Kamux Plus, in Finland and Sweden. A key component of Kamux's customer service concept is the home delivery, under which the car is delivered to a location agreed with the customer and, if necessary, the possible trade-in car is simultaneously picked up. In 2017 Kamux opened its online store in Finland. Kamux serves its customers also in chat. Kamux's websites (kamux. fi/kamux.se/kamux.de) had over 800,000 monthly visitors in net during 2019.

The majority of the used cars sold by Kamux are acquired from its customers as part of trade-in car sales. All of Kamux's car sales personnel in Finland buy cars, and each of Kamux's car showrooms has set purchasing targets. In Sweden and Germany, pricing of purchased cars is the responsibility of the sourcing teams in these countries operating under the purchasing director. In addition, Kamux has a separate sourcing organization, which is responsible for acquiring cars at car auctions, among others. Kamux aims to align its own and its employees' interests through its incentive scheme. The sales personnel's incentive scheme takes into account sales, car procurements, car trade-ins and the sales of integrated services when determining the amount of remuneration. Kamux's entire car selection is available to all of its sales
personnel at all Kamux's car showrooms in Finland as well as nationwide in Sweden and Germany. If needed, Kamux relocates a car from one car showroom or country to another once the sale is agreed upon.

The size of the car selection at each of Kamux's car showrooms in Finland and Sweden varies between approximately 50 and 150 used cars available for sale, and at its car showrooms in Germany, Kamux's selection of used cars available for sale is under 100 to 300.

Kamux's business consists of retail and wholesale sales of used cars in Finland, Sweden and Germany and of integrated services sold to consumer and corporate customers.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers - standard includes a five-step model by which sales revenue is recognized when control of a good or service transfers to a customer. Revenue is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Kamux's business consists of retail and wholesale sales of used cars and of integrated services sold to consumer and corporate customers. These goods and services have been identified as separate performance obligations in accordance with IFRS 15.
In the sales of used cars the control of a good sold transfers to the customer at the time of delivery. The sales of used cars are recognized as revenue upon delivery of the car to the customer and upon transfer of the performance obligation to the customer. At the time of delivery, the customer pays the sales price by cash or the finance company provides Kamux an approved credit decision as a payment for the sales price. Home delivered cars have a 14-day right of return. Revenue on home delivered cars is recognized upon delivery to the extent Kamux estimates to be entitled to.
Revenue from sales is recognized according to the fair value of the sold car, net of discounts and value added taxes.
In integrated services regarding the financial and insurance services provided by a third party, Kamux acts as an agent towards the customer. Kamux presents the income derived from sales of financing and insurance services in its revenue as net amount after Kamux has fulfilled its performance obligation of sales of the services.
Insurance commissions from insurance companies are recognized as revenue when the service is rendered, i.e. when the insurance contract is signed with the customer and Kamux is entitled to a commission fee in accordance with its agency contract.
Financing fees from finance companies comprise fixed withdrawal and invoicing fees, variable interest fees and annual bonus fees. Fees are recognized as revenue on an accrual basis when the contract is signed with the customer or during the term of the agreement when Kamux is entitled to a payment from the finance company. Annual bonus fees are determined on percentage basis of the actual sales during a calendar year and they are recognized when Kamux is entitled to reveice the payment from the financing company.
The Kamux Plus service is recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the 12 months warranty period. Kamux Plus service provides the customer with a customer liability extension in connection with a used car sale.

Kamux's customer service and customer satisfaction strategy are based on offering used cars that are high-quality and reconditioned. Any deficiencies in the cars are disclosed to the customer during the sale process.
Used cars include the seller's statutory repair liability. In Finland, Sweden and Germany a car dealer has a liability to repair undisclosed defects that become apparent within six months after the purchase of the car (unless Kamux can prove that the defects arose subsequent to the sale). After six months, the burden of proof is transferred from Kamux to the customer.
In addition to the statutory repair liability, Kamux offers its customers the Kamux Plus service, which extends the seller's liability for defects. Kamux repairs predefined defects that are detected within 12 months following the purchase of the car or within 25,000/15,500 driving kilometers, whichever comes first.
REPAIR LIABILITY PROVISION (EUR MILLION) 2.2 2018 2019 2.7
Repair liability provision amounted to EUR 2.7 million as at December 31, 2019 and EUR 2.2 million as at December 31, 2018. Repair- and maintenance costs have increased concurrently as the sales volumes have grown. Repair- and maintenance costs amounted to EUR 18.1 million during the financial year 2019, and to EUR 15.8 million during the financial year 2018. The repair liability provision is expected to be used in the following 12 months. Repair liability costs and other repair and maintenance costs are reported in "materials and services" in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
Estimated repair liability cost is recognized as repair liability provision when the car is sold. The amount of repair liability provision is based on historical statistics about realized repair liability costs and the estimated trend of repair liability costs.


Repair liability provision is recognized based on the actual repair costs and the estimate on the development of repair liability costs. There is uncertainty between actual and estimated repair liability costs because repair liability costs may not necessarily be realized as predicted. Typically repair liability costs are realized frontloaded during the repair liability period. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed quarterly. Differences between actual and estimated repair liability costs may impact the provision amounts recognized in future periods.

PROVISIONS, LEASE OBLIGATIONS AND OTHER COMMITMENTS

Due to its effective process to acquire used cars, Kamux is able to offer a broad collection of different car brands at competitive prices. Kamux acquires cars from car auctions, leasing companies, other car dealers, finance companies, importers, private persons and other sources. Kamux purchases most of the used cars from customers as trade-in cars as part of the used car sale. Inventory is located in different showrooms. Every salesman is able to sell used cars from all Kamux's showrooms utilizing the Group-wide inventory information. Inventory management is well organized and advanced IT-systems are utilized to achieve an optimal balance between cars in inventory and quick inventory turnover.
Inventories amounted to EUR 70.2 million on December 31, 2019. On December 31, 2018 inventories amounted to EUR 71.0 million.
Revaluations of inventories to net realizable value amounted to EUR -0.2 million during 2019. In 2018 writedowns amounted to EUR 0.1 million. These revaluations were recognized through profit or loss during the financial years and were included in changes in inventory in line item "materials and services".


Inventory turnover is calculated as follows:
Inventory on average during the period (average of the beginning and ending inventory of the year) divided by "Materials and services" expense item during the reporting period, multiplied by 365.
Inventory is measured at lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of an individual car included in the inventory balance is determined using the purchase price for the car including directly attributable repair costs for reconditioning the car for selling purposes.
At each reporting date, a detailed review for net realizable value is executed for cars that have been in inventory for more than 90 days. Any adjustments to net realizable value are expensed through profit or loss.
The estimated selling price of the car (net realizable value) at the reporting date is determined based on the managerial judgment, market information and historical data. If the estimated selling price of the car is lower than the cost, the inventory value for the car will be written down.

Trade receivables consist mainly of receivables from finance companies, with the exception of insignificant amounts of receivables from individual customers to whom Kamux has sold a car with a short-term payment period. Generally, receivables originate when there is a temporary time lag between the approved credit decision (i.e. when revenue is recognized) and a payment is made by the finance company. However, once the finance company has approved the credit application of Kamux's customer, the credit risk of the car sale is borne by the finance company.
Kamux has a temporary credit risk from finance companies between the approved credit decision and payment. The Company mitigates the credit risk by dealing with highly rated finance company counterparties.
At the end of the financial year there was no need for an impairment based on the provision matrix due to non-existence of material past due trade receivables as of December 31, 2019. Impairment losses of trade receivables recognized in profit or loss amounted to EUR 0.1 million during the year 2019. In 2018 impairment losses of trade receivables were EUR 0.1 million.
In accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments – standard the impairment of financial asset is based on the expected credit loss method. The significant financial assets of Kamux are trade receivables arising from normal business operations. For these trade receivables the group applies a simplified provision matrix approach. According to this approach, a loss is recognized by using the provision matrix, except for situations where financial assets are assessed to be impaired due to credit risk. In Kamux the amount of impairment losses from trade receivables has been historically low.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AND NET DEBT
FINANCE EXPENSES


The Group's objective when managing capital (net debt and total equity) is to ensure the continuity of its operations and maintain optimal returns to shareholders. Management aims to maintain an optimal capital and funding structure that ensures the lowest cost of capital available to the Group.
In order to maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders or issue new shares. The Group monitors capital on the basis of net debt and equity. Net debt is calculated as financial liabilities ("current and non-current borrowings and lease liabilities" in the consolidated balance sheet) less cash and cash equivalents.
The Group borrows money from financial institutions in the form of bank loans and bank overdrafts. The Group's loans have floating interest rates and the Group may use interest rate swaps to limit the interest rate risk related to floating interest rates of the loans. Lease liabilities comprise of future rental payments of showrooms and office premises that have been discounted to present value

Kamux has entered into a five-year credit facility agreement of EUR 50 million with Nordea Bank Corporation. The credit facility agreement includes a five-year term loan of EUR 30 million and a revolving credit facility of EUR 20 million. In December 31, 2019, EUR 19.5 million of the term-loan was in use. The term loan is currently repaid in bi-annual installments of EUR 1.5 million. The loans mature on March 31, 2021.
Fair values for Kamux's borrowings are determined by discounting the estimated cash flows to be paid at the market rate of the reporting date, considering the risk premium. Different terms and conditions of the loans (maturity, subordination, collateral) are taken into account in the measurement. Bank loans are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy due to the use of unobservable inputs, including Kamux's own estimates for risk premium.

Bank loans are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs. Bank loans are subsequently carried at amortized cost. Interest expenses and transaction costs are amortized over the term of the loan and recognized as finance cost using an effective interest rate method. Borrowings are derecognized when the loan has been repaid or liability has been extinguished for example in connection with refinancing.
Financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value through profit and loss consist of derivatives. Derivatives are measured and recognized in the balance sheet according to their fair value at the trade date. Subsequent fair value changes of open derivatives are recognized directly in the finance income and finance costs in the statement of comprehensive income. The Group's derivatives consist of foreign exchange derivatives to hedge foreign exchange rate risk. These derivatives are not subject to hedge accounting.

Derivatives consist of foreign exchange forwards. These derivatives are included in Level 2 and their fair value is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows based on observable foreign exchange rates. The nominal value of open foreign exchange forwards was EUR 18.9 million on December 31, 2019 and EUR 29.2 million on December 31, 2018.
Management of liquidity risk aims to ensure that Kamux is able to meet its finance obligations. Kamux's financing requirement is covered by both optimizing of operating activities and external financing in order to ensure that Kamux has continually sufficient liquidity or has access to an adequate amount of committed credit facilities. Liquidity risks are monitored and managed centrally in the Group's finance department where the availability of financing is managed daily based on rolling forecasts.
The maturity of financial liabilities is monitored regularly. As of December 31, 2019, Kamux had cash and cash equivalents of EUR 27.6 million and as of December 31, 2018, EUR 12.8 million. In addition, Kamux had access to unused credit facilities and bank overdrafts of EUR 20.0 million as of December 31, 2019 and EUR 20.0 million as of December 31, 2018.
Kamux has entered into a five-year credit facility agreement of EUR 50 million with Nordea Bank Corporation. The credit facility agreement includes a five-year term loan of EUR 30 million and a revolving credit facility of EUR 20 million. In addition to the revolving credit facility, Kamux has a lease guarantee facility of EUR 0.4 million. At the end of the reporting period, EUR 19.5 million of the term-loan was in use. The term loan is currently repaid in bi-annual installments of EUR 1.5 million.
Loans from the financial institutions include the following covenants: net debt in proportion to adjusted EBITDA, equity as a portion of the balance sheet total and inventory turnover. The interest margin is variable and depends on the ratio of net debt and adjusted EBITDA. Kamux has given business mortgages amounting to EUR 104.0 million as of December 31, 2019 as a security for the loans from financial institutions. In addition, the Company has given an unlimited general guarantee on behalf of the subsidiaries in Finland, Sweden and Germany and pledged the shares of the Finnish, Swedish and German subsidiaries.
According to specific terms and conditions of the bank loan agreements, the most significant transactions require a prior written approval by the financial institution, including ordinary terms and conditions protecting the creditor.

The Group's bank loans comprise of long-term floating rate loans and interest-bearing credit limit facilities. Due to the Euribor-tied loans, Kamux is subject to the cash flow risk arising from floating rate loans.
To manage the interest rate risk, Kamux may use interest rate swaps, as needed, in order to reduce the cash flow risk arising from floating rate loans. With this course of action, Kamux aims to limit the impact of interest rate volatility in the Group's finance costs to acceptable levels.
Effective interest rates of bank loans were 1.4%—1.5% at the end of 2019 and 1.4%—1.5% at the end of 2018.
Based on the sensitivity analysis, if interest rates had been 1.0 percentage points higher with all other variables held constant, the recalculated post-tax profit for the period and equity would have been EUR 0.1 million smaller in 2019 and EUR 0.2 million smaller in 2018. Interest rate sensitivity has been calculated by shifting the interest curve by 1.0 percentage points (due to low market interest environment the lower scenario has not been presented). The interest position includes all external variable rate loans and interest rate swaps.
Kamux is mainly exposed to transaction risk related to the Swedish krona and the risk that arises when the parent company's investments in the Swedish subsidiaries are translated into euros.
Foreign exchange risk relating to Swedish operations arises basically from intra-Group finance transactions and trade payables from Swedish vendors and subsidiaries incurred in operating activities between the Group companies. Foreign exchange risk is not significant for the Group and these items are hedged as needed by using foreign exchange derivatives and/or holding cash nominated in Swedish krona in Group's bank accounts. In December 31, 2019 the Group had foreign exchange derivatives with mature under 12 months to hedge against the foreign exchange risk arising from above mentioned transactions.
The remainder of the Group's income and expenses are generated almost exclusively in euros. According to the Company's treasury policy, all intercompany financing is issued in the subsidiary's functional currency.
The Group's net investment in companies outside the Eurozone consists of subsidiary investments in Sweden. Foreign exchange risk associated with the net investment is not hedged.
Foreign exchange risk position includes debts denominated in Swedish krona of Group companies and loan receivables from Swedish subsidiaries. Krona denominated intra-group items, which are exposed to foreign exchange risk, translated at the rate of the balance sheet date were EUR 12.8 million as of December 31, 2019 and EUR 8.7 million as of December 31, 2018. In December 31, 2019 these balances were fully hedged. If the foreign exchange risk would not have been hedged and if the weakening or strengthening of the Swedish krona against euro had been 10 percent, the recalculated post-tax profit for the period had been EUR 0.9 million in 2019 and EUR 0.9 million in 2018 higher or lower based on the sensitivity analysis.
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss

to the Company. Kamux considers all of its material counterparties to be creditworthy as they represent large and well-established financial institutions. Kamux's exposure to credit risk is continuously monitored, in particular, if agreed payments are delayed.
The credit risk on cash and cash equivalents is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies. To spread the credit risk, Kamux deposits its cash reserves with different banks.

Finance expenses consist of interest expenses on bank loans and credit limits and realized and unrealized changes on foreign exchange derivatives, exchange rate differences as well as interest expenses on lease liabilities. Transaction costs related to loans are expensed in profit or loss using effective interest rate method.
The effective interest rate is the rate that discounts the estimated future payments through the expected life of a loan to the net carrying amount of the financial liability. The calculation includes all fees paid by the contracting parties and transaction costs.

The consolidated financial statements include parent company and its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries refers to entities of which Kamux Group has control. Control exists, when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Group obtains control or if the subsidiaries have been founded by the Company, from the date of the inception of the subsidiary. Subsidiaries are consolidated until the date that control ceases.
Group's subsidiaries as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were as follows:
| Parent company | Country of incorporation |
Parent and Group ownership (%) |
Principal activities |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kamux Corporation | Finland | Holding company | |

| KMX Holding AB | Sweden | 100 | Holding company |
| Kamux AB | Sweden | 100 | Sales of used cars |
| Kamux Auto GmbH | Germany | 100 | Sales of used cars |
Subsidiaries have share capital consisting solely of ordinary shares that are held directly by the Group, and the proportion of ownership interests equals the voting rights held by the Group. The country of incorporation of registration is also their principal place of business.
Intra-Group receivables and liabilities, income or expenses and unrealized profits or losses arising from Intra-Group transactions between the Group companies and intra-Group profit sharing are eliminated in their entirety when preparing the consolidated accounts.
Assets and liabilities in Swedish subsidiaries are translated into euro at the rate prevailing on the balance sheet date. Income and expenses in Swedish subsidiaries are translated into euro using an average rate. Translation differences that arise when translating the financial statements of subsidiaries are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in a separate component of equity, called translation differences.
Foreign currency denominated transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or if items have been revalued, at the measurement dates exchange rates. Foreign exchange gains and losses arising in respect of business operations, such as sales and purchases, are recognized in EBIT. Foreign exchange differences arising from financing transactions are recognized in finance costs.

Goodwill in the balance sheet formed when the parent company, a company established by Intera Fund II Ky, acquired Kamux Oy and its subsidiaries on December 7, 2011. The amount of goodwill was EUR 13.6 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018. Goodwill is entirely allocated to the operating segment of Finland.
The Group performs impairment tests annually. The recoverable amount of goodwill related to Finland is based on fair value less costs of disposal (FVLCD), which is determined using a discounted cash flow model. Key estimates used to determine the recoverable amount include sales growth rate, cost development and the post-tax discount rate. Inputs used in the discounted cash flow model are inputs that are not based on observable market data (Level 3 inputs). Calculations are based on 5 years' cash flow projections approved by the management. Long-term growth rate was estimated to be 1% and post-tax discount rate was defined at 6.8% (2018 9.0%). In addition, management reviews observable market data of comparable entities, for example, EBITDA multiples to assess whether there is a significant difference between FLVCD of the group of CGUs tested and comparable entities market data, which would require Kamux to make changes to the assumptions used in goodwill impairment testing.
As part of the performance review, management has performed sensitivity analyses around the key parameters and the result suggests that a situation in which the carrying value of goodwill and other assets under impairment testing would exceed the recoverable amount is unlikely. Changed parameters used in the sensitivity analyses for 2019 and 2018 impairment testing were:
The sensitivity analyses did not indicate impairment when the parameters above were changed one at a time or all at the same time.
Kamux has capitalized development costs and intangible rights related to different IT systems as other intangible assets. Kamux has invested in a tailor-made sales management system which is one of the key enablers of Kamux's effective selling process and cost-efficient inventory management. Microsoft Ax is a system for enterprise resource planning (ERP) and accounting, and it connects Kamux's inventory management and accounting. In 2019, Kamux invested mainly in new sales management system which will be implemented during 2020-2021. The capitalized costs consist of external service provider invoices and license fees.
Goodwill is an intangible asset with indefinite useful life. Goodwill is not amortized but tested for impairment at least annually, or whenever there is an indication that its carrying value would not be recoverable.
Management has determined that each showroom represents a separate cash generating unit (CGU). The impairment review is carried out for the group of cash generating units representing the geographical area of Finland which is the level at which goodwill is monitored by management (read more in Sources of uncertainty and managerial judgements – Goodwill).
Other intangible assets, which are separately identifiable and can be sold separately comprise development costs of IT software and intangible rights. Other intangible assets are amortized on a straightline basis over the estimated useful life of 3 years.

Management makes significant estimates and judgments in determining the level at which the goodwill is tested and whether there are any indications of impairment.
The goodwill in the Kamux's balance sheet arose in December 2011 when the parent company, a company established by Intera Fund II Ky, acquired Kamux Oy and its subsidiaries. At the time of the acquisition, Kamux operated in Finland through five subsidiaries, including 16 showrooms. The Management views that the excess of the purchase price over the acquired net assets was paid for the business and business concept as a whole and therefore considers that goodwill should be tested at the level of group of CGU's which is Finland.
The forecasted cash flows are based on the Group's past performance and management's best estimate of future sales, cost development, general market conditions and applicable income tax rates. Management tests the effects of changes to significant estimates used in forecasts by sensitivity analyses in a way described in the section "Goodwill".

* The acquisition cost at Jan 1, 2019 has been adjusted by an addition of lease assets due to adoption of IFRS 16.
Property, plant and equipment comprise of capitalized renovation as well as modernization expenses, office furniture, machinery and equipment and car showroom building in Nedderfeld, Germany, which was acquired in 2016. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of 15 years for the building and 3-5 years for the other tangible assets.
On January 1, 2019 Kamux adopted IFRS 16 in recognition of lease agreements. In accordance with IFRS 16 Kamux recognizes almost all leases on the balance sheet. The standard requires recognition of an asset i.a. the right to use the leased item and a financial liability to pay rentals for virtually all lease contracts.
Lease agreements recognized into Kamux's balance sheet comprise mainly of rental agreements of showrooms and office premises. Kamux inventory is located in the showrooms and the sales of cars takes place mainly in the showrooms. The right-of-use asset and the non-current and current lease liabilities arising from the lease agreements are presented in the balance sheet as row items "Lease assets" and "Lease liabilities". Before adoption of IFRS 16, Kamux had no finance lease agreements booked in the balance sheet in accordance to IAS 17 Leases

Lease agreements may contain both lease and non-lease components. Kamux applies the treatment in accordance with IFRS 16 only to lease components and recognizes the expenses arising from non-lease components into profit or loss as other operating expenses.
Lease agreements of the showrooms or office premises are negotiated on an individual basis resulting in agreements with different terms and conditions. Lease agreements are typically either cancellable or 1- to 10-year fixed term contracts. Agreements usually include the option of extending the lease after the original date of termination.
Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. The present value of a lease liability is determined by discounting the estimated future lease payments during the lease period. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost corresponding with the amount of the lease liability and it can be adjusted by the direct costs or incentives obtained relating to the lease agreement.
The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the asset's useful life which in Kamux usually corresponds with the lease term.
The lease assets are derecognized against the lease payments and as finance expenses. The finance expense recognized into profit or loss reflects the amount of interest for certain period arising from the lease liability.
Kamux applies the optional exemption that exists for short-term and low-value leases. Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognized on a straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss as other operating expenses. Shortterm leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less and low-value assets are leases with total value EUR 5 000 or less. Short-term and low-value leases in Kamux Group are for example leases of parking areas nearby the showrooms or job-related housing of the personnel.
Management makes critical judgments and assessments in determination of the lease terms of the lease agreements. Also determination of the discount rates for the lease liabilities requires management judgment.
The lease agreements of the Group's showrooms and office premises can be divided into following groups regarding to lease terms: agreements made for the time being anf fixed-term agreements. Fixed-term agreements can include an option for an extension period following the fixed-term or they can continue as agreements for time being after the fixed-term. Kamux has entered also in fixed-term agreements which can not be extended according to the initial agreement.
The management assesses a lease term of each lease agreement on an individual basis. In determining the lease term for each lease agreement the management considers the following factors, among others: Has Kamux or the lessor an unilateral right to serve notice of termination on the agreement or to decide about the extension period or is the decision made by both lessee and lessor together? Is it probable that the extension period will be exercised? What is the historical data about about lease terms of lease agreements in Kamux?
The lease term is initially assessed at the date an agreement is signed and the term is reassessed at least annually and every time when the agreement is changed with an effect on the lease term.
The future lease payments are discounted by using a discount rate prevailing at the date of signing a lease agreement. When the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be determined, which is generally the case for leases in the Group, the lessee's incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the individual lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset similar value to the right-ofuse asset in a similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions of agreement.

Kamux's key management personnel, members of the Board of Directors and their family members have a right to buy cars from Kamux and sell cars to Kamux in accordance with the personnel policy applicable to the whole staff.
The Group has leased from the CEO, his close family members and the companies controlled by them four locations with fixed-term lease agreements for 5-10 years. From January 1, 2019 these lease agreements have been accounted in accordance with IFRS 16. In December 31, 2019 the consolidated lease liabilities to related party amounted to EUR 4.0 million.
During 2019-2018, consulting expenses comprise consultancy fees paid to Virtanen Consulting GmbH, controlled by Matti Virtanen. The fees were related to the Group's geographical expansion.
Transactions with related parties were made on an arm's length basis.
The Company has established a management co-investment arrangement for certain key management personnel and other key employees. The co-investment arrangements have been made with key employees of the Company employed before or during 2011—2017. The co-investment arrangement includes shareholders who have been shareholders before the ownership structure was formed in December 2011 and shareholders who have joined the Company as key employees after the 2011 ownership changes. The co-investments of key employees who have invested after the 2011 ownership changes but before the Company's listing to Nasdaq Helsinki Oy stock exchange main list on May 2017, are subject to the IFRS 2 standard.
According to the agreements, the key employees of the arrangements have invested in shares issued by the Company. Investments made by key employees were carried out at the same valuation basis and substantially on the same terms as the investments made by the controlling owner.
The co-investment arrangement contains a share-based payment, but the valuation at the grant date indicates that the co-investments made and possible proceeds to employees do not contain additional benefits when compared to the controlling owner. As the Company does not have a contractual obligation to redeem the leavers in cash, and the Company has not, prior to 2016, used its right to redeem the shares of key employees' shares as their employment ends, the arrangement is classified as equity-settled share-based payment under IFRS. Accordingly, with the grant date fair value of the share-based payment being zero, no expense has been recognized in financial statements.
Holdings of the Board of Directors, CEO and Management Team of the Company's outstanding shares as of December 31, 2019 are presented in the following table:
| Ownership | |
|---|---|
| Members of the Board of Directors | 0.5 % |
| CEO | 15.2 % |

For the year ended

The Group estimates whether the other management holdings than earned as a part of a share-based payment incentive sheme, include an incentive plan. Judgment is required when classifying the plan (as cash or equity-settled payments or arrangement with alternatives) and measuring the plan. Fair values of grant dates of the benefits, including in the arrangements have to be assessed for measurement.
The earnings criteria applicable to both 2018 and 2019 plans are equivalent to each other by their essential parts. The amount of any gross reward paid pursuant to the plan for the earnings period is determined by the achievement of goals set for the earnings criteria. The earnings criterion applicable for the 2018 earnings period was achieving the EBIT target for 2018 set by the Board of Directors, and the earnings criterion applicable for the 2019 earnings period was achieving the EBIT target for 2019 set by the Board of Directors . Rewards resulting from the plan LTI2018 were paid in shares and cash during spring 2019. Any rewards resulting from the plan LTI2019 will be paid after the end of the earnings period during spring 2020. The key terms and conditions for the earnings periods are described in the table below.
The plans are accounted for as an equity-settled payment with net settlement features. The plans have one year earnings period followed by a two-year commitment period. The fair value of the plans were determined on the grant date. The fair value of the each plan is expensed during the three years until the end of the commitment period. In the financial year 2019 the employee benefit expenses included EUR 0.3 million and in 2018 EUR 0.1 million costs accrual related to the share-based incentive scheme.

In April 2017, the Board of Directors of Kamux Corporation decided to establish a share-based incentive scheme for the Group's key personnel. The share-based incentive scheme comprises of separate yearly incentive plans based on the judgment of the Board of Directors of Kamux Corporation. The key personnel belonging to the scheme are Manangement Team members and also other key management personnel.
In December 2017, the Board of Directors of Kamux Corporation decided to approve the terms and conditions for the earnings period of year 2018 share-based incentive plan (LTI2018).
In January 2019, the Board of Directors of Kamux Corporation decided to approve the terms and conditions for the earnings period of year 2019 share-based incentive plan (LTI2019).

Kamux's share-based incentive scheme is considered as an equity-settled payment, and the compensation costs are recognized based on the number of gross shares awarded. Any rewards resulting from the scheme will be paid after the end of the earnings period in the company's shares unless the Board of Directors decides to pay the reward partly or fully in cash. Where an employer is obliged to withhold an amount for the employee's tax obligation associated with a share-based payment and pay that amount to the tax authority, the whole award will be treated as if it was equity-settled provided it would have been equity-settled without the net settlement feature.
The earnings period for the yearly plans granted under the incentive scheme is a calendear year, followed by a two-year commitment period. The fair value of a share incentive is determined on the grant date of each yearly plan. This fair value of the plan is expensed during three years until the end of the commitment period. The effect of the scheme in profit or loss is presented in personnel expenses and the corresponding increase is presented in the equity.
5.4 SHARE CAPITAL AND RESERVES

The Company has one share class and each share has an equal right to dividend. Each share carries one vote at the general meeting. All issued shares are fully paid and they do not have par value.
Dividend distribution, acquisition or redemption of the treasury shares or other distribution of funds to the Company's shareholders require the fulfilment of certain terms of the financing agreement. For the financial year 2019, the Board of Directors proposes a dividend of EUR 9.2 million (EUR 0.23 per share). The Company paid a dividend of EUR 6.4 million (EUR 0.16 per share) in spring 2019.

The Board proposes that it be authorized to decide, if necessary, on a new dividend payment record date and pay date for the second instalment if the rules and statutes of the Finnish book-entry system change or otherwise so require.
The subscription price of new shares is recognized as share capital unless it is determined in the share issue decision to be booked entirely or partly into the reserve for invested unrestricted equity. Payments to the reserve for invested unrestricted equity can be also done without a share issue. The number of shares which have been paid but not yet registered at the end the financial year are entered to the share issue account.
The Company's share capital is EUR 80 thousand.
In March 2019, the Company issued a total of 30,126 new shares in a share issue without consideration directed to the key personnel of the Kamux Group for the payment of share-based incentive scheme of 2018. The new shares were registered in the Finnish Trade Register on March 14, 2019.

At the end of the review period, the Company held 2,323 treasury shares, representing 0.01% of all shares.
At the beginning of 2018, Kamux had 1,319,862 treasury shares corresponding to 3% of all shares. During the financial year Kamux cancelled 1,319,862 treasury shares and the cancellation of the treasury shares was registered in the trade register on March 14, 2018

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred taxes relate to the taxes collected by the same fiscal authority. In Sweden, the Group had unused tax losses EUR 4.3 million as of December 31, 2019 and EUR 4.8 million as of December 31, 2018 and in Germany the Group had unused tax losses EUR 7.9 million as of December 31, 2019 and EUR 5.6 million as of December 31, 2018, for which no deferred tax asset has been recognized due to the operating losses of the early phase of operations. These losses will not expire under the current tax regulations.
At the end of each reporting period, the management makes judgment in assessing the conditions for the recognition of deferred tax assets on tax losses carried forwards. The unused tax losses carried forwards can be utilized against the future taxable profit in a company in which they have been arosen. The management estimates the probability of the availability of future taxable profits or the existence of other reliable evidence on availability of future taxable profits against which the unused tax losses carried forwards can be utilized.

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realized or the deferred tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except for deferred tax liability where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets are recognized on deductible temporary differences only to the extent that it is probable the temporary difference will reverse in the future and there is sufficient taxable profit available against which the temporary difference can be utilized.
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.
On December 2, 2019, Kamux announced the acquisition of the business and assets of Autosilta from Jagro Oy. The acquisition was completed on January 9, 2020 and on that date Kamux obtained control of the assets acquired. On January 10, 2020 Kamux opened a new showroom in Niittykumpu in Espoo, located on the former premises of Autosilta. In connection with the acquisition five employees were transferred into Kamux. Preliminary effect of the business acquisition on Kamux's net sales for year 2020 is EUR 23.0 million. Purchase price allocation and thus possible amount of goodwill arising from the acquisition is unfinished and Kamux will present the disclosures in accordance IFRS 3 in its interim report for the first quarter of 2020.
On January 16, 2020, the Board of Directors of Kamux Corporation decided to approve the detailed terms and conditions of the share-based incentive scheme for the Group's key personnel for 2020.
On January 31, 2020, Kamux announced that the Jyväskylä showroom will expand its commercial vehicle sales in as it moves to new premises.
On February 14, 2020, Kamux announced the opening of the Tornio showroom in April 2020.
On February 19, 2020, Kamux announced the opening of the Värmdö showroom during early summer 2020.
On February 25, 2020, Olli Kilpi, Kamux's CPO and Member of the Management Team, announced to leave to take up new responsibilities outside the company. He will continue in his current position until May 22, 2020.
On February 28, 2020, Kamux announced to start to repurchase the company's own shares for execution of the Company's share-based incentive scheme.

In preparing these consolidated financial statements, Kamux has followed the same accounting policies as in the annual financial statements for 2018 except for the effect of changes required by the adoption of the following new and revised standards and interpretations on 1 January 2019.
IFRS 16 Leases does not make a distinction between operating and financing leases and requires recognition of an asset (the right to use the leased item) and a financial liability to pay rentals for virtually all lease contracts. IFRS 16 primarily affected accounting of lessees and resulted in the recognition of almost all leases on the Kamux's balance sheet. Kamux applies the optional exemption that exists for shortterm and low-value leases.
Previously, future lease payments were presented in the notes as operating lease commitments at their nominal value. The currently reported operating lease commitments of Kamux totaled EUR 32.8 million (see Note 4.3.) on December 31, 2018.
In IFRS 16 implementation project Kamux adjusted accounting processes to meet IFRS 16 requirements and improved controls. Kamux implemented a lease agreement administration and calculation system which was taken into use in the beginning of year 2019.
The standard had a significant effect on Kamux's consolidated financial statements since Kamux has leased many showrooms and office premises from third parties for periods longer than one year and by cancellable contracts. The amount of leased assets and corresponding lease liabilities increased the consolidated balance sheet total by 33% or EUR 38.3 million at the date of transition January 1, 2019. Applying IFRS 16 has no effect on retained earnings in equity at January 1, 2019. During 2019, key figures based on balance sheet changed. During 2019, the change also had an effect on Kamux's statement of comprehensive income because in the new method, the total expense is typically higher in the earlier years of a lease and lower in later years. Additionally, lease payment in operating expenses was replaced with interest and depreciation, and consequently key figures such as EBITDA and operating profit changed. The adoption of IFRS 16 improved EBITDA significantly but did not have a significant impact on operating profit in 2019.
The operating cash flow increased, as cash payments for the principal portion of the lease liability are classified within financing activities. Only that part of the payments which reflects interest can continue to be presented as operating cash flow.
In connection of applying IFRS 16, Kamux's management made judgments is determination of lease periods and discount rates. (see Note 5.2). In applying IFRS 16 for the first time, Kamux applied a practical expedient for agreements entered into before the transition date. According to the practical expedient, the group relied on its assessment made applying IAS 17 and Interpretation IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease. The Group did not need to reassess whether an agreement is, or contains a lease at the date of initial application.
The standard became effective for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. Kamux adopted IF-RS 16 using the modified retrospective transition approach. Figures of comparative years were not restated but to retain the comparability between 2018 and 2019 figures, Kamux discloses additional information about the effects of IFRS 16 on 2019 figures.
Kamux has not yet applied the following new and revised standards and interpretations already issued and that are endorsed by the European Union. The Group will adopt them as of the effective date or, if the date is other than the first day of the financial year, from the beginning of the subsequent financial year.
The IASB has issued a revised Conceptual framework which key changes include increase of the prominence of stewardship in the objective of financial reporting, renewal of the definitions of an asset and a liability, removal of the probability threshold for recognition and adding guidance on derecognition. The amendment will be effective for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020.

A report on the audit performed has been issued today. Helsinki, February 28, 2020
PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy Authorized Public Accountants
Janne Rajalahti Authorized Public Accountant

To the Annual General Meeting of Kamux Corporation
In our opinion
• the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the group's financial position and financial performance and cash flows in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU
• the financial statements give a true and fair view of the parent company's financial performance and financial position in accordance with the laws and regulations governing the preparation of the financial statements in Finland and comply with statutory requirements.
Our opinion is consistent with the additional report to the Board.
We have audited the financial statements of Kamux Corporation (business identity code 2442327-8) for the year ended 31 December 2019. The financial statements comprise:
• the consolidated balance sheet, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity, statement of cash flows and notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies
• the parent company's balance sheet, income statement, statement of cash flows and notes.
We conducted our audit in accordance with good auditing practice in Finland. Our responsibilities under good auditing practice are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
We are independent of the parent company and of the group companies in accordance with the ethical requirements that are applicable in Finland and are relevant to our audit, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
To the best of our knowledge and belief, the non-audit services that we have provided to the parent company and to the group companies are in accordance with the applicable law and regulations in Finland and we have not provided non-audit services that are prohibited under Article 5(1) of Regulation (EU) No 537/2014. The non-audit services that we have provided are disclosed in note 2.4 to the Financial Statements.

• Overall group materiality: EUR 2,600,000, which represents a combination of adjusted profit before tax and revenue.
• Our audit procedures covered all the significant countries and locations of Kamux group. The focus of our audit procedures has been on the most significant components in Finland and Sweden.
As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risks of material misstatement in the financial statements. In particular, we considered where management made subjective judgements; for example, in respect of significant accounting estimates that involved making assumptions and considering future events that are inherently uncertain.
The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. An audit is designed to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered material if individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements.
Based on our professional judgement, we determined certain quantitative thresholds for materiality, including the overall group materiality for the consolidated financial statements as set out in the table below. These, together with qualitative considerations, helped us to determine the scope of our audit and the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements on the financial statements as a whole.

| OVERALL GROUP MATERIALITY | EUR 2.6 million (previous year EUR 2.6 million) | |
|---|---|---|
| HOW WE DETERMINED IT | Average of 5% of adjusted profit before taxes and 1% of the total revenues. Benchmarks were weighted 60% for adjust ed profit before taxes and 40% for the total revenues when determining the overall group materiality. |
|
| RATIONALE FOR THE MATERIALITY BENCHMARK APPLIED | The company is in a strong development phase and its strategy focuses on the increase of revenues. As the bench mark for the determination of the materiality, we chose the combination of revenue and adjusted profit before taxes. Based on our understanding the readers of the financial statements use these parameters when evaluating the per formance of the group. As thresholds, we chose to use 1% of the revenues and 5% of the adjusted profit before taxes, which are within generally accepted thresholds according to auditing standards. |
We tailored the scope of our audit, taking into account the structure of the Kamux group, the accounting processes and controls, and the industry in which the group operates.
Our audit procedures covered all the significant countries and locations of Kamux group. The focus of our audit procedures has been on the most significant components in Finland and Sweden where we performed the full scope audit because of the magnitude and risk of the component in question. For the remaining components, we performed alternative procedures to ensure that there is no risk of material misstatement in the consolidated financial statements.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
As in all of our audits, we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including among other matters consideration of whether there was evidence of bias that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.

| KEY AUDIT MATTER IN THE AUDIT OF THE GROUP | HOW OUR AUDIT ADDRESSED THE KEY AUDIT MATTER |
|---|---|
| Valuation of inventory See note 3.1 in the financial statements The inventory (EUR 70.2 million) is valued to the lower of acquisition cost or net realisable value. The acquisition cost of individual cars included in the inventory, is determined based on the purchase price including directly attributable repair costs for reconditioning the car for selling purposes. For the financial statements, the company evaluates the cars included over 90 days in the inventory. The impairment recorded is the value of cars according to net realisable value. The valuation of inventory is considered a key audit matter because of the magnitude of the inventory and the management judgement included in the valuation. |
Our audit procedures included understanding and evaluating the processes and controls for the valuation of inventory. As part of our audit procedures, we evaluated the appropriateness of the accounting policies applied by the company for the inventory valuation. We reviewed the management's detailed estimate for the need of adjustment for inventory valuation for fi nancial statements. We evaluated the accuracy of recorded adjustment compared to company's accounting policy, sales occurred after the year-end and other identified circumstances. We tested the acquisition cost of the cars included in the inventory for year-end 2019 on a sample basis. We compared the inventory value for selected cars to purchase price for the car including directly attributable re pair costs for reconditioning the car for selling purposes. We tested the net realisable value of the cars included in the inventory for year-end 2019 on a sample basis. We compared the inventory value for selected cars to sales price in 2020. |
| KEY AUDIT MATTER IN THE AUDIT OF THE GROUP | HOW OUR AUDIT ADDRESSED THE KEY AUDIT MATTER |
| Accuracy of the repair liability provision See note 2.3 in the financial statements Estimated repair liability (EUR 2.7 million) is recognised as repair liability provision when a car is sold. The amount of repair liability provision is based on historical statistics about realised repair liability costs and the estimated trend of repair liability costs. Accuracy of the provision for repair costs is considered as a key audit matter because of the significant management judgement included in the accounting of the provision. |
We evaluated the accuracy of the repair liability provision by comparing the estimate prepared by manage ment to actual historical costs. We reconciled the recorded repair liability provision to calculation prepared by management. In addition, we inquired of the management, if there were any circumstances, which would require changes to estimated trend of repair liability costs. We also audited the payments made in 2020 to gain comfort that there are no significant costs occurred which should have been taken into consideration when calculating the provision. |
| KEY AUDIT MATTER IN THE AUDIT OF THE PARENT COMPANY | HOW OUR AUDIT ADDRESSED THE KEY AUDIT MATTER |
| Valuation of subsidairy shares See notes in the financial statements of the parent company. The valuation of subsidiary shares is a key audit matter due to significant carrying amounts involved and the management judgement involved. As of 31 December 2019, the value of Kamux Corporation's subsidiary shares amounted to EUR 34.8 million in the parent company's financial statements prepared in accordance with Finnish GAAP. The valuation of subsidiary shares is tested by impairment testing based on discounted cash flow model. |
We assessed the appropriateness of the method and management's judgement and estimates in the calculation. We evaluated the process by which the future cash flows were drawn up, including comparing them to medium term strategic plans and forecasts approved by the Board and tested the key assumptions. We estimated the valuation of subsidiary shares by changing the assumptions on discounted cash flow model. We compared the current year actual results included in the prior year impairment model to corroborate the re liability of management's estimates. We investigated by interviewing the management, that are there any such circumstances which would require adjustments to estimates for valuation of subsidiary shares made by management. |
| There are no significant risks of material misstatement referred to in Article 10(2c) of Regulation (EU) No 537/2014 with respect to the consolidated financial statements or the parent company financial statements. |

The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU, and of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the laws and regulations governing the preparation of financial statements in Finland and comply with statutory requirements. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are also responsible for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for assessing the parent company's and the group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting. The financial statements are prepared using the going concern basis of accounting unless there is an intention to liquidate the parent company or the group or to cease operations, or there is no realistic alternative but to do so.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with good auditing practice will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with good auditing practice, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the parent company's or the group's internal control.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors' and the Managing Director's use of the going concern basis of accounting and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the parent company's or the group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the parent company or the group to cease to continue as a going concern. • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events so that the financial statements give a true and fair view.
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

We were first appointed as auditors by the annual general meeting on 9 October 2015. Our appointment represents a total period of uninterrupted engagement of five years.
The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the report of the Board of Directors and the information included in the Annual Report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. We have obtained the report of the Board of Directors prior to the date of this auditor's report and the Annual Report is expected to be made available to us after that date.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. With respect to the report of the Board of Directors, our responsibility also includes considering whether the report of the Board of Directors has been prepared in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations. In our opinion
• the information in the report of the Board of Directors is consistent with the information in the financial statements
• the report of the Board of Directors has been prepared in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations.
If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor's report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
