KAMUX ANNUAL REPORT 2024 4







2024 proved to be a transformative year for the entire car industry, a shift felt across all our operating countries. Despite of the challenging market landscape, we focused on systematic strategy implementation.
Throughout the year, demand for used cars remained solid across our operating countries. However, due to the challenging purchasing market, our car selection didn't fully meet that demand. Furthermore, profit expectations in certain price and power source categories shifted fast and significantly. The continued stagnation in new car sales added further pressure to the sourcing market, particularly in Finland and Sweden.
The market wittnessed companies traditionally focused on new car sales expanding into the used car sector, altering market dynamics and further intensifying competition. Consumer confidence and purchase decisions were further dampened by declining purchasing power due to inflation, high interest rates, and increased uncertainty about employment.
In the challenging market of 2024, Kamux Group's sales volume decreased by -2.5%, totaling 66,548 cars sold. Revenue reached EUR 1,010.2 million, a slight increase of 0.8% from the previous year. Sales of integrated services grew moderately during the year. Adjusted operating profit decreased significantly by -35.8% to EUR 11.6 million. While the full year results leave considerable room for improvement, we can nevertheless state that Kamux's operations are built on a solid foundation and we are well positioned to navigate even difficult market conditions.

The increased competition, particularly towards the end of the year, further increased the importance of experienced and competent personnel. We completed key recruitments at the end of 2024. In early January 2025, Johan Kempas assumed the role of Managing Director of Kamux Sweden, and Sebastian Janik was appointed Group Purchasing Director, also responsible for Kamux Germany's sourcing operations. Concurrently, Michael Ungerer became Head of Sales at Kamux Germany, and Joni Tuominen took on the position of Chief Operating Officer and Development Officer of Kamux Finland. We also finalized the recruitment of a new Chief People Officer and Joanna Clark will join Kamux during the spring. Additionally, Juha Kalliokoski returned to the Group Management Team as Chief Operating Officer, effective as of March 1, 2025.
In 2024, we continued to systematically optimize our showroom network through carefully considered openings, selected closures, updates to existing showrooms, and by focusing our operations on larger showrooms. The development of the showroom network and customer experience is progressing
favorably. Efficiency improvements and cost-saving measures have mainly proceeded as planned. While measures related to the showroom network and personnel are on target, savings in costs related to cars will be realized with a slight delay.
In Finland, we established a partnership agreement with Secto Automotive, enabling us to source relatively new, regularly serviced cars with good options. At the same time, we concluded a business transfer that added two large showrooms into our network in the challenging Helsinki metropolitan area, located in Friisilä, Espoo, and Petikko, Vantaa.
During the fourth quarter, we acquired the Swedish company Webcars Logistics AB. This acquisition significantly enhances our ability to efficiently source cars relevant to our customers and enables more efficient car logistics. In Sweden, we focused on corrective measures for our operations and organization throughout the year. The effects of these measures, along with the training of new personnel, required time, and the positive impact will become more apparent during 2025.
In Germany, our focus was particularly on updating the Kamux concept, developing processes, and improving efficiency. The number of cars sold grew during the year.
I would like to express my very warm thanks to all Kamux employees for their tireless work and dedication during this challenging year. A big thank you also to all our customers and partners. Through seamless cooperation, we have been able to deliver a first-class customer experience in used cars and adjacent services.
Tapio Pajuharju CEO Kamux Corporation
We have updated our concept and refreshed our look, but at the core of our operations, the same idea has remained for over two decades: Kamux wants to make buying and selling car as effortless and safe as possible for everyone.
Friendly customer service and clear customer journey ensure a smooth experience both in our stores and online, while our omnichannel service allows flexible car purchases anytime and anywhere. Thanks to our wide and diverse selection of cars, we are a trusted car partner for our customers in all life situations.

Kamux strives to be the most friendly, convenient, and trustworthy used car retailer. Therefore, trustworthiness and customer satisfaction are at the core of Kamux's corporate responsibility, and the Net Promoter Score (NPS), which measures customer satisfaction, is one of Kamux's most important metrics. We continuously work to ensure that the information we provide about cars is as comprehensive as possible and always accurate, allowing our customers to make well-informed purchase decisions with confidence. Customer satisfaction is always driven by a motivated, competent, and committed team, which is also the case at Kamux. We invest in employee well-being and training, and another key metric for us is the employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS), which measures employee well-being.
Circular economy is an essential part of our operations, as Kamux buys and sells only used cars but does not manufacture cars. As part of our pre-sales process, we ensure that the cars we sell are in good condition relative to their age and mileage. When appropriate, we refurbish and repair them with the help of our partner network, improving their usability and ensuring that they are kept in traffic throughout their reasonable life-cycle. In 2024, 68% of cars sold by Kamux were maintained or repaired before sale.
We also promote lower-emission driving and support the electrification of motoring, which reduces the use of fossil fuels. We enable consumers to upgrade their car to a newer and lower emission alternative by offering a wide range of EVs, hybrids, and new technology combustion engine cars. In Finland, where we have been the largest used car dealer for years, we play a significant role in renewing the car fleet by importing newer and lower-emission cars compared to the average car currently used on Finnish roads. In 2024, Kamux imported 8,275 cars to Finland, of which as many as 74% were running on alternative power sources.
Kamux's sustainability program is built around three key themes: sensible choices, worth the trust, and enthusiasm for work. The goals and metrics related to these themes provide an overall picture of our sustainability efforts and their progress. Kamux continuously monitors and develops its sustainability initiatives to ensure that its operations support sustainable development and the circular economy in the long term.
The Sustainability Statement, in accordance with the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), is included as part of the Report by the Board of Directors.

I am pleased to present Kamux Corporation's Remuneration Report 2024 on behalf of the Board of Directors. The Remuneration Report has been prepared in accordance with the Finnish Corporate Governance Code 2025 and other regulations concerning remuneration reporting. It covers the remuneration of the Board of Directors and the CEO of the company in 2024. The Remuneration Report 2024 will be presented at Kamux's Annual General Meeting 2025 for an advisory vote.
Kamux's updated Remuneration Policy was presented to the Annual General Meeting 2024. In preparing the updated Remuneration Policy, shareholder feedback was taken into account, with attention paid to the following topics: that sustainability is integrated into performance measures of the long-term incentive plan, and that the Remuneration Policy describes situations where the Board of Directors may temporarily deviate from the Remuneration Policy. While the Annual General Meeting resolved to approve the amended Remuneration Policy, some shareholders voiced concerns particularly regarding the length of the earnings period in the company's long-term incentive schemes. Following this feedback, an updated Remuneration Policy will be presented to the Annual General Meeting 2025.
Kamux's remuneration practices encourage the Board of Directors and the CEO to drive the company forward in terms of growth strategy, long-term success, and shareholder value creation. We remain committed to a remuneration framework that aligns with shareholder interests and upholds transparency. Overall, a key objective is to enable the recruitment and retention of talented management and members of the Board of Directors.
The year 2024 was challenging for Kamux. Despite this, Kamux systematically executed the updated strategy 2024−2026 announced in March and will continue to do so in 2025.
The remuneration in 2024 aligned with Kamux's strategic focus on sustainable and profitable growth. The CEO and management incentives for 2024 focused on improving the company's financial performance as well as the set ESG target. There were no deviations from the Remuneration Policy.
In accordance with the resolution of the Annual General Meeting 2024, 40% of the annual fee of the Board of Directors was again paid in shares of Kamux to align the Board's interests with those of the shareholders. Based on the proposal of the Shareholders' Nomination Board, the remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors was raised modestly.
In 2024, the Personnel and Remuneration Committee's focus was on developing the long-term incentive plans. In January 2025, Kamux announced a new share-based incentive plan 2025−2029 for its key employees, including the CEO. The new plan replaces the previous Long-term share-based incentive plan for 2024–2026. The aim of the performance matching share plan is to align the objectives of the shareholders and the key employees to increase the value of the company in the long term. The plan intends to encourage key employees to invest in the company's shares, to steer them towards achieving Kamux's strategic objectives, to retain them at the company, and to offer them a competitive incentive plan that is based on acquiring, earning and accumulating Kamux's shares. The plan includes three performance periods of three years each, which reflects the shareholder feedback.
The Remuneration Policy defines the key principles for the remuneration of Kamux's CEO and the Board of Directors. Continued focus on the competitiveness of remuneration compared to market peers aims at retaining top management and other talent within the Group and supporting the company's entrepreneurial culture. Future developments of the management remuneration are likely to focus on additional ESG related metrics and adjusting performance targets to respond to Kamux's dynamic market environment. In all remuneration development, Kamux aims to extend its focus on forward-looking incentive plans that support a balanced approach to financial performance and sustainability, reinforcing Kamux's values and long-term strategy.
I am grateful for the investors' continued interest in Kamux and welcome all feedback on the Remuneration Report and remuneration.
Chair of the Personnel and Remuneration Committee Kamux Corporation
Kamux Corporation ("Kamux" or "the company") adheres to the Finnish Corporate Governance Code ("Code") adopted by the Finnish Securities Market Association. This Remuneration Report for Kamux Corporation Governing Bodies ("Remuneration Report") has been prepared in accordance with the Code effective from January 1, 2025 and in accordance with applicable legislation. The Code is available on the website at www.cgfinland.fi/en. Kamux Corporation is a support member of the Finnish Securities Market Association.
The Personnel and Remuneration Committee of the Board has reviewed the report and it has been approved by the Board. The Company's Auditor has reviewed that the report has been issued. The Remuneration Report details the compensation provided to the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") for the fiscal year 2024. Comprehensive information regarding the company's remuneration policies and provided compensation is available on the company's website under the "Remuneration" section (kamux.com – Governance – Remuneration).
The Remuneration Policy for Governing Bodies outlines the principles for compensating the Board, the CEO, and any Deputy CEO. In the fiscal year 2024, Kamux applied two versions of the Remuneration Policy. The policy adopted in 2020 ("Remuneration Policy 2020") remained effective until April 18, 2024, when the Annual General Meeting ("AGM") of Kamux Corporation approved amendments with an advisory resolution ("Remuneration Policy 2024"). The revisions
were made to address shareholder feedback by enhancing transparency in remuneration, incorporating sustainability targets into performance measures, and defining the performance and restriction periods of long-term incentive plans to better support long-term value creation. Additionally, the amended policy included clarifications on governance in remuneration decisions and outlined scenarios for temporary deviations from the policy.
Remuneration paid to the Board members and the CEO during the financial year 2024 complied with the Remuneration Policy in effect at the time the decisions on the grounds or structure for such remuneration were made. The remuneration of the Board of Directors or the CEO were not adjusted, and no fees were clawed back in the financial year 2024.
According to the Remuneration Policy 2024, the remuneration of the Board aims to be in line with peer companies of the same market value and to reflect fairly and proportionately the competence and effort required of each Director to fulfil his or her responsibilities. The remuneration of the Board members during the financial year 2024 consisted of annual compensation. Board members were not compensated separately for Board or Committee meetings, except when such meetings required traveling outside the member's country of residence.
According to the Remuneration Policy 2024, the company's financial performance and long-term shareholder value
creation have a significant impact on the remuneration of the CEO, and the total earning potential should be competitive. Remuneration aims to support Kamux's entrepreneurial approach and align the interests of the CEO and shareholders in a sustainable way in the long term. In 2024, the CEO's compensation consisted of fixed monthly salary including fringe benefits, a performance-based short-term incentive plan (annual performance bonus), a long-term share-based incentive plan, a supplementary pension, and a life insurance. On March 1, 2024, the company announced that the previous long-term share-based incentive plan for the CEO was discontinued as of January 1, 2024 and that effective from the same date, CEO Tapio Pajuharju participates in the company's sharebased incentive plan for 2024–2026 that was published on March 1, 2024. The share-based incentive plan for 2024–2026 is described later in this report. On March 25, 2025, the Company announced that the share-based incentive plan for 2024–2026 was discontinued as of January 1, 2025 and that effective from the same date, CEO Tapio Pajuharju participates in the Performance matching share plan 2025–2029 that was published on January 23, 2025. More information on the Performance matching share plan 2025–2029 is available on the company's website under the "Remuneration" section (kamux.com – Governance – Remuneration – Chief Executive Officer / Other Management Team members).
Kamux has implemented its growth strategy in a consistent manner during the five-year period reviewed. The Group's
revenue has increased by nearly 40 percent from EUR 724.1 million in 2020 to EUR 1,1010.2 million in 2024. The adjusted operating profit increased annually in 2020–2021, and in 2023, but declined in 2022 and 2024. The adjusted operating profit margin was 1.1% in 2024.The remuneration of the Board has been decided by the Annual General Meeting ("AGM"). In the years 2020, 2022, 2023 and 2024, the AGM resolved to increase the annual remuneration of the Chairperson and members of the Board as well as the Chairpersons and members of Board Committees. To align the interests of the Board with those of shareholders, 40% of the annual fee of the Chairperson and the members of the Board has been paid in Kamux Corporation's shares as of 2020.
The significant increase in the remuneration of the CEO in 2023 is due to the change of the company's CEO. Juha Kalliokoski, the founder and previous CEO of the Company, stepped down as CEO and Tapio Pajuharju assumed his role as CEO of Kamux on June 1, 2023. Due to the change of CEO, the Board decided on a temporary deviation from the Remuneration Policy that related to the signing bonus paid to Tapio Pajuharju. According to the Board, the temporary deviation was justified, as with the new CEO the company gained new kind of expertise as it was entering the next phase of its strategy.

The remuneration of the CEO in the financial year 2024 consisted of a fixed monthly salary including fringe benefits, signing bonus, variable short-term incentive plan (annual performance bonus), a long-term share-based incentive plan, supplementary pension, and a life insurance.
The CEO is covered by the statutory pension system (TyEL) in Finland. According to the statutory pension system, the CEO's base salary, short-term incentives and other taxable benefits accumulate his pension while the earnings of the share-based incentive plans do not.
According to the local market practice, the CEO is entitled to a supplementary pension to support the recruitment, commitment, and retention of the CEO. The supplementary pension is a defined contribution benefit and amounts to EUR 8,500 per year. The CEO's retirement age is subject to the applicable legislation.
The CEO is insured by a life insurance procured by the company. The beneficiaries of the life insurance are the CEO's next of kin.
The CEO's earning opportunity in short-term incentive (STI) plans for 2023 and 2024 was equal to his 12 months' salary. Compensation under the STI plan is paid in cash which is aligned with the remuneration policy.
The CEO was paid a bonus of EUR 72,671 based on the 2023 short-term incentive plan. No bonus will be paid based on the 2024 short-term incentive plan.
The criteria and payments under the STI plans are presented in the tables below.

* When CEO Pajuharju assumed his position in June 2023, the performance criteria of the 2023 annual performance bonus were linked to the adjusted operating profit target and a revenue growth target for 2023. In August 2023, the Board decided that the sole performance criteria for the entire financial year will be the adjusted operating profit target (100% weighting). The annual performance bonus was adjusted in proportion to the duration of Pajuharju's service in 2023.

CEO Tapio Pajuharju's long-term incentives are consistent with those of the Group Management Team and key personnel, and from January 1 to December 31, 2024, he participated in the Group's long-term share-based incentive plan for 2024–2026, which replaced his earlier personal share-based incentice plan.
The CEO was not paid any bonus based on long-term incentive plans in 2024, and no bonus is due for payment.
In spring 2025, the Board of Directors of Kamux Corporation discontinued the share-based incentive plan for 2024–2026 and replaced it with a new performance matching share plan for 2025–2029.

This Annual Report is not a European Single Electronic Format (ESEF) regulation compliant xHTML document. The ESEF-compliant Board of Directors' report and Financial Statements 2024 are available in Finnish at www.kamux.com/en/releases-and-publications/reports-and-presentations/.
Kamux is a retail chain specialized in used cars and related integrated services that operates in Finland, Sweden and Germany. At the end of 2024, Kamux had 69 showrooms in its three operating countries.
In 2024, Kamux's operating environment was characterized by the ongoing major transformation in the car industry as well as the continued global political uncertainty affecting consumer confidence. Due to the prolonged weak sales of new cars, used car sales have become an increasingly important part of new car retailers' business in all Kamux's operating countries. In addition, a growing number of consumers sell their cars via commercial platforms. These changes in market dynamics have intensified competition in both sales and purchasing, and there were exceptional offers and campaigning in the markets, especially during the last quarter of the year.
Reduced interest rates and easing of inflation improved consumers' purchasing power in Kamux's operating countries in 2024. Consumer confidence, however, remained low impacting consumers' purchasing decisions. In Finland and especially in Germany consumer confidence was clearly below the long-term national averages, while in Sweden it was already close to the long-term average.
In Finland, new passenger car registrations in 2024 decreased by 15.7% compared to the previous year (aut.fi), while in Sweden, registrations decreased by 7.1% (Vroom). In Germany, new car registrations decreased by 1% in 2024 (ACEA). In the European Union, new passenger car registrations were slightly higher in 2024 than in the previous year (+0.8%). Half of the
new cars registered in the EU in 2024, 51.6%, were hybrids or EVs, compared to 48.1% in 2023. The share of petrol-powered cars among new vehicles was 33.3% (35.3% in 2023), and diesel cars accounted for 11.9% (13.6%) (ACEA).
Kamux estimates that the total market for used cars in its three operating countries is approximately 8.4 million sold passenger cars annually, corresponding to over EUR 100 billion in value. The used car market grew throughout 2024 compared to 2023 in all of Kamux's operating countries, and according to Kamux's estimate, approximately 680,000 used passenger cars were sold in Finland, approximately 1.25 million in Sweden, and approximately 6.5 million in Germany.
The majority of used cars sold in Kamux's operating countries are combustion engine cars, but the share of electric motors is also increasing in the used car market. In 2024, hybrids and EVs accounted for 14.6% (11.3% in 2023) of used car sales in Finland, 17.8% (12.5%) in Sweden, and 11.7% (8.2%) in Germany.
Kamux published its updated strategy for 2024-2026 and longterm targets in March 2024. The updated strategy is anchored to placing the customer at the core of all activities and improving operational efficiency as well as profitable growth, which is facilitated by these two measures. The company can accelerate growth with acquisitions as well as by building strategic partnerships. Kamux's vision is to be the number one used car retailer in Europe, and this is achieved by strengthening Kamux's concept and processes, as well as by developing the showroom network and selection.
The key development areas for customer experience in the new strategy period are the development of the car offering to better meet the needs of customers; fair, centrally driven prices; standardized and transparent inspection reports; improving the seamless customer experience across all channels; and innovative and hassle-free services within the mobility space. Correspondingly, the key development areas for operational efficiency are utilizing the Group's power in sourcing; a more centralized and standardized car inspection, reconditioning and sales process; and a central data-assisted pricing and sourcing process. All of these will ensure systematic and sustainable operations in line with the Kamux concept.
In 2024, Kamux implemented its strategy in a systematic way. In Finland, several showrooms were upgraded to match Kamux's new concept, starting from the capital region, and a new flagship showroom was opened in Lakalaiva, Tampere, at the end of May. A separate concept, Kamux Worx, was created and launched for the utility vehicles business. During the second quarter, Kamux signed a cooperation agreement with Secto Automotive that secures approximately 3,500 relatively new and regularly serviced cars for Kamux to sell in Finland annually. In addition, two showrooms in the capital region and their personnel were transferred to Kamux. During 2024, Kamux also successfully increased the average selling price of cars and grew the sales of EVs and hybrids in Finland.
In Sweden, the main focus during the year was in clarifying processes, roles and responsibilities, as well as implementing correctives actions following the misconduct that was detected in late 2023. Several changes were made in the Swedish organization and ways of working, which had an impact on the segment's performance in 2024. In October, Kamux acquired Webcars Logistics AB, a privately owned entrepreneur-led operator specializing in the purchase, logistics and export of used cars operating in Sweden.
In Germany, Kamux focused on systematically changing the car offering to match its concept, lowering the average selling price of cars. A new showroom was opened in Siershahn, Southwest Germany, during the second quarter, and existing showrooms were upgraded to match Kamux's concept.
During the second quarter, Kamux initiated measures to improve the productivity and profitability of its operations, targeting approximately EUR 5.0-7.0 million in annualized savings by the end of 2025. The measures were divided into two parts, standardizing indirect purchases and streamlining the showroom network and own processes and organization. By the end of the year, the measures had largely progressed according to plan. Cost-saving initiatives related to the showroom network and personnel were on track, while actions to reduce car-related pre- and after-costs have advanced but are taking longer than expected. The development of the showroom network progressed and at the end of 2024, Kamux had in total 69 (77) showrooms, of which 44 (46) were in Finland, 17 (23) in Sweden, and 8 (9) in Germany. Customer experience progressed in the right direction and the key customer satisfaction metric, NPS, was 51 for the full year 2024 (50 for 2023).
Kamux published its long-term targets in March 2024.
| Long-term target | FY 2023 | FY 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| 100,000 pcs / year | 68,257 | 66,548 |

The Group's revenue increased by 0.8% compared to the previous year and was EUR 1,010.2 million (1,002.1). Revenue growth in Finland was not sufficient to offset the decline in Sweden. In Germany, revenue increased slightly. In connection with the sale of a used car, Kamux offers its customers commission-based services, such as insurance and financing services, as well as the Kamux Plus product, which is an extension to the statutory seller's liability for faults. Revenue from integrated services was EUR 55.2 million (53.0), or 5.5% (5.3) of total revenue. The translation impact of the Swedish krona on the Group's revenue was EUR -0.2 million compared to the 2023 exchange rates.
The number of cars sold by Kamux in Finland, Sweden and Germany decreased by -2.5% compared to the previous year and was 66,548 cars (68,257). The number of cars sold in Finland remained at the previous year's level, and in Germany, the number of cars sold decreased slightly. In Sweden, the number of cars sold decreased heavily. Revenue per sold car was EUR 15,181 (14,681).
Gross profit decreased by -5.6% compared to the previous year and was EUR 96.8 million (102.5). Gross profit as percentage of revenue decreased by -0.7 percentage points to 9.6% (10.2). Adjusted operating profit decreased by -35.8% and was EUR 11.6 million (18.0), or 1.1% (1.8) of revenue. Operating profit was burdened with negative development in Finland and particularly in Sweden.
Items adjusting the operating profit totaled EUR 3.6 million (2.2) in January-December. The adjustment items include EUR 0.2 million of expenses related to strategic investigations, EUR 0.3 million of expenses related to legal processes, EUR 0.2 million of expenses related to own real estate operations, and EUR 2.9 million of other items adjusting the operating profit including restructuring costs as well as remuneration and compensations agreed in Tapio Pajuharju's CEO contract.
Operating profit (EBIT) decreased by -50.0% compared to the previous year and was EUR 7.9 million (15.8). Net financing items were EUR -2.6 (-1.9) million.
Kamux's profit before taxes was EUR 5.3 million (13.9). Taxes were EUR 0.7 million (4.3), corresponding to an effective tax rate of 12.8% (31.1%) for the financial year. Profit for the financial year was EUR 4.6 million (9.6).
Basic and diluted earnings per share were EUR 0.12 (0.24).
At the end of 2024, the consolidated balance sheet total was EUR 228.3 million (215.7), of which total equity was EUR 109.1 million (111.8). Net debt was EUR 74.2 million (53.8). Noncurrent bank loans were EUR 11.7 million (13.2).
In December 2024, Kamux signed a new EUR 50 million secured long-term financing agreement with Nordea Bank Abp. The agreement replaced the five-year financing agreement maturing in spring 2025. The new financing arrangement has a 36-month maturity and includes 12 or 24-month extension options. The financing package includes a EUR 20 million term loan and a EUR 30 million revolving credit facility (RCF). The financing was drawn on December 18, 2024, with EUR 10 million drawn from the term loan and EUR 12 million from the credit facility at the end of the reporting period. The term loan will be repaid in EUR 1.0 million installments every six months.
At the end of the financial year, EUR 8.0 million worth of commercial papers were issued. The funds acquired through the revolving credit facility and the commercial papers are used to fund working capital.
A ten-year term loan of EUR 5.0 million was drawn for the property of the Oulu showroom and processing center in March 2022. At the end of the reporting period, EUR 4.2 million of the term loan was drawn. The term loan is repaid in bi-annual installments of EUR 0.2 million.
Net working capital was EUR 114.4 million (97.4) as of December 31, 2024. The value of the inventory was EUR 131.0 million (117.2), as inventories in Finland and Germany at the end of the year included more cars than planned due to weak sales. The value of inventory in Finland increased from the comparison period due to the higher average price of cars.
Kamux's cash flow from operating activities for January-December was EUR 2.7 million (25.2). Cash flow decreased significantly due to a clear increase in the net working capital tied to the inventory as well as weak profitability in the fourth quarter. Additionally, the Group completed the Secto and Webcars transactions during the fourth quarter. Cash and cash equivalents were EUR 3.0 million (8.9) at the end of the reporting period.
Equity ratio at the end of the financial year was 48.0% (51.9). Return on capital employed (ROI) was 3.9% (6.6) and return on equity (ROE) was 4.3% (8.7).
Kamux's capital expenditure for January-December was EUR 4.3 million (1.8), consisting mainly of IT system investments, ordinary showroom maintenance investments, the acquisition of Webcars Logistics AB as well as the purchase of a land area in Finland for future construction of a new showroom.
Demand for used cars was at a good level in Finland in 2024. Competition intensified both in the purchasing and sales markets, as significantly fewer new cars were registered than in 2023 and many dealers previously focused on new cars invested noticeably more in used cars than before.
The number of cars sold by Kamux in Finland was at the previous year's level at 50,015 cars (49,877). Due to the challenging sourcing market, the purchasing of more affordable combustion engine cars became more difficult in the second
half of the year, negatively affecting the number of cars sold. The car offering in the capital region was updated to better meet consumers' wishes, and the number of EVs and hybrids sold by Kamux increased strongly. The average revenue per sold car grew due to a change in the mix of cars sold. Following the increased average price, revenue increased by 5.8% compared to the previous year and was EUR 738.7 million (698.0).
The penetration rate of Kamux Plus developed well. The penetration rate of financing services decreased as a result of keeping the return requirement, but the penetration rate of insurance services developed positively. Revenue from integrated services was EUR 46.1 million (43.3). Gross profit decreased as a result of lower margin per car and increased carrelated costs. Adjusted operating profit decreased -9.1% as a result of the negative development during the second half of the year and was EUR 26.0 million (28.6) or 3.5% (4.1) of revenue. Operating profit was EUR 25.1 million (28.3).
In 2024, a merchant model driving profitable growth was implemented in the Finnish organization, and in Southern Finland, cooperation with an external partner was started to improve the processing of imported cars and cars purchased from B2B channels. Kamux Finland also launched a partnership with Beely, a Finnish company that offers cars as a subscription. With the Beely partnership, Kamux can offer a flexible option also for customers to whom owning a car is not an option. The partnership also gives Kamux access to cars that are returned to Beely. During the second half of the year, Kamux and Secto Automotive agreed on a long-term cooperation agreement, under which Kamux will operate as Secto Automotive's partner for returned leasing vehicles, and Secto Automotive will be the leasing partner for Kamux's B2B customers for relatively new passenger cars and commercial vehicles. In addition, Secto Automotive's used car showrooms in Espoo and Vantaa, Finland, and their personnel were transferred to Kamux in a business transfer.
During the year, the Hyvinkää passenger car showroom relocated to new premises, and the vacated space was repurposed for the Kamux Worx showroom, specializing in commercial vehicles. New showrooms were opened in Lakalaiva, Tampere, and in Herttoniemi, Helsinki. The Ylivieska showroom was merged with the Kokkola showroom, which had relocated to new premises, and the showrooms in Klaukkala, Tornio, Konala, and Jämsä were closed.
Demand for used cars in Sweden was at a good level in 2024. Competition intensified strongly towards the end of the year, and there were many particularly attractive offers in the markets. The number of cars sold by Kamux in Sweden decreased strongly (-16.9%) from the previous year and was 10,618 cars (12,777). As a result of the misconduct detected at the end of the previous year and the measures that followed, staff turnover in Sweden was exceptionally high. In addition to organizational changes, sales were negatively impacted by the introduction of new processes and the resources required for corrective measures. Following the negative volume development, external revenue decreased by -15.6% and was EUR 173.6 million (205.6). Intercompany sales increased slightly, and total revenue decreased by -10.8% compared to the previous year and was EUR 252.7 million (283.4). The penetration rates of financing and insurance services developed positively, but the penetration rate of Kamux Plus decreased. Revenue from integrated services declined due to the decrease in the number of cars sold and was EUR 5.2 million (5.9). Gross profit decreased significantly as a result of the lower number of cars sold and lower gross profit per car and was EUR 13.3 million (19.1) or 5.2% (6.8) of total revenue. The adjusted operating result weakened as a result of low sales volumes and increased costs and was EUR -4.2 million (0.3) or -1.7% (0.1) of total revenue. Operating result was EUR -5.4 million (0.3).
The corrective actions related to previously detected misconduct were completed by the end of the year. Systematic tire sales started during the first quarter developed positively.
During the year, the Sundsvall and Helsingborg showrooms relocated to larger premises that better align with Kamux's updated concept. Additionally, the showrooms in Norrköping, Norrtälje, Borås, Gävle, Uppsala, and Heron City, Stockholm were closed.
In 2024, the used car market developed positively in Kamux's operating areas in Germany, although competition also intensified. The number of cars sold by Kamux increased by 4.2% compared to the previous year and was 5,836 cars (5,603). Following the growth in intercompany sales, the total revenue in Germany increased by 1.2% compared to the previous year and was EUR 103.4 million (102.1). External revenue decreased by -2.9% to EUR 95.7 million (98.5), as the average revenue per sold car decreased due to a planned change in the car offering. The penetration rate of financial services decreased slightly. Revenue from integrated services increased to EUR 4.0 million (3.8). Gross profit developed positively mainly as a result of increased gross profit per car and higher number of cars sold and was EUR 8.7 million (8.3), or 8.5% (8.2) of total revenue. The adjusted operating result developed positively due to good gross profit development, although it was still negative at EUR -1.1 million (-1.6), or -1.0% (-1.6) of total revenue. Operating result was EUR -1.9 million (-1.8).
During the year, a new showroom was opened in Siershahn, southwestern Germany. The Ahrensburg showroom relocated to new premises aligned with the updated concept, and the showrooms in Lübeck and Kaltenkirchen were closed.

The aim of risk management is to ensure the keeping of customer promises, profit development, the ability to pay dividend, shareholder value, responsible operating practices and the continuity of business. 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 businessoriented fashion and comprehensively, from the perspective of potential business impacts. This means that the key risks are identified, assessed, managed, monitored, and reported 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 Group Management Team each have their own responsibility areas in risk management. The Management Team regularly reports to the Board of Directors on risks and risk management actions. The Board reviews the most significant risks and the measures to manage them, and assesses the effectiveness and functionality of risk management. The CFO is responsible for
the coordination of risk management. Kamux has a group-wide Code of Conduct, which is also accompanied with operative instructions on fair car trading principles. This documentation 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 markets in which Kamux operates. This risk is managed by closely monitoring the general economic development and its impact on Kamux's business. Other economic risks include interest rate, financing and tax risks, which are monitored and mitigated as described in the Group's Treasury Policy. Kamux's tax burden may increase as a result of changes in tax laws or their application, or as a result of a tax audit. Amendments to the car tax legislation or drafting of legislation can have a material adverse effect on the market of new and used cars and on Kamux.
The used car retail market is highly fragmented, and Kamux's competitors range from large nationwide branded 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 and insurance services, which are significant for Kamux's profitability. Potential considerable changes in credit granting by financial institutions, interest rates offered to customers, or the financial situation of an individual financial institution or insurance company 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 and insurance companies in its operating countries.
Public discussion on different vehicle power sources and possible changes in power sources and related political
decisions may have an impact on Kamux's operations via changes in consumer demand. Rapid 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. In addition, the repair, maintenance and insurance costs of used EVs and plug-in hybrids are subject to significant uncertainties.
The geopolitical uncertainty will be reflected onto the markets of European countries in many ways, for example in monetary policy, the investment market and inflation, as well as energy and fuel prices. If prolonged, the uncertain situation may further impact people's consumption behavior and purchasing power, which may also be reflected in used car sales.
Kamux's brand and reputation among customers and other stakeholders are important factors of success. Kamux works to minimize its reputation risk by monitoring the development of customer satisfaction, investing in customer service and transparency in car conditioning, as well as operating in a responsible way.
Competent personnel deliver Kamux's results. Kamux's human resource strategy identifies personnel as the Group's most important resource, and employees are instrumental in achieving the set business goals. Personnel competence development and turnover rate have been identified as risks. Personnel risks are minimized through a systematic recruitment process, tracking and developing employee satisfaction and well-being, training, and rewarding incentive systems.
Kamux's IT systems and applications 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.
Climate risks have increased and will have an effect on, for example weather conditions that have become more volatille during the last years. Even though Kamux's business and store premises are located in the Northern part of Europe in stable locations, it is still possible that due to extreme weather conditions company's assets might be damaged or additional restoration costs might be triggered, potentially in excess of insurance protection. Moreover, there are numerous regulations linked to climate topics, which might cause changes, uncertainty or changes in asset values that may have an adverse impact on the balance sheet values of assets.
The objective of internal control at Kamux is to ensure the efficiency and profitability of business operations, the reliability of financial reporting, compliance with laws and regulations applicable to the company's business, and compliance with the company's internal instructions. The specific objective of the internal control of financial reporting is to ensure that interim reports, half-year reports, financial statement bulletins, and
other financial reporting as well as financial statements and annual reports are reliable and are prepared in accordance with the accounting and reporting principles adopted by the company.
The company's Board of Directors is responsible, in accordance with its rules of procedure, for monitoring the process of financial reporting and the effectiveness of the company's internal control and risk management system. The responsibility for the practical implementation of internal control lies with the CEO. Supported by the Management Team, the CEO is responsible for ensuring that the Group's day-to-day operations comply with the agreed principles and applicable laws and regulations, and that identified non-compliance incidents and deficiencies are addressed and that adequate corrective measures are taken.
Internal control and auditing are discussed in all the meetings of Kamux's Audit Committee. The Audit Committee monitors the progress and results of the internal control and auditing measures.
In 2024, internal control development focused on improving the integrated controls of the company's key systems and enhancing the company's internal controls based on the observations made during the internal audit.
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 audit as a separate function. The Board of Directors shall evaluate on a yearly basis whether such a function should be established. In 2024, internal auditing was carried out by an external service provider.
This Sustainability Statement has been prepared in accordance with the sustainability reporting standards (European Sustainability Reporting Standards, ESRS) referred to in Chapter 7 of the Finnish Accounting Act, and with the Article 8 of Taxonomy Regulation (EU) 2020/852. The Sustainability statement covers the financial year January 1–December 31, 2024. The sustainability statement has been prepared on a consolidated basis and the scope of consolidation is the same as for Kamux Corporation's ('Kamux') financial statements, with Kamux Corporation in Finland as the parent company.
The sustainability statement covers primarily Kamux's own operations except for Scope 3 emissions, where the report covers CO2 emissions from the use of cars sold by Kamux. The statement includes relevant details about the value chain of Kamux, where this information is necessary to understand Kamux's material impacts, risks and opportunities.
Kamux has not used the option to omit a specific piece of information corresponding to intellectual property, know-how, or the results of innovation.
The time horizons are set in the ESRS, and they are applied in this sustainability statement as defined by ESRS 1 section 6.4. This means that the short-term period is the reporting period,
medium-term is the following 1 to 5 years, and the long-term time horizon is more than 5 years.
Kamux applies phase-in provisions in accordance with Appendix C of ESRS 1. Kamux applies the phase-in provisions for ESRS 2 SBM-3 paragraph 48 (e), E1-9, S1-7, S1-11, S1-12, S1-13 and S1-15. Kamux has thus not reported the anticipated financial effects for the identified material risks and opportunities for the reporting year 2024, as mandated under ESRS 2 SBM-3, or the anticipated financial effects from material physical and transition risks and potential climaterelated opportunities. Kamux has opted to not disclose certain information under S1 standard.
Metrics disclosed in this report are mainly based on internal data, estimates based on such data or indirect sources. Environmental metrics such as kilowatt-hours and fuel consumption are estimated using accounting data (EUR) and no actual usage information (kWh or litres) was used. Eurostat data on electricity prices was used to estimate the electricity consumption in kilowatt-hours and European Commission's Weekly Oil Bulletin was used to estimate the fuel usage in liters. AIB (Association for Issuing Bodies) data was used to convert the kilowatt-hours into Scope 2 CO2 emissions. Due to this, there are significant uncertainties related to the estimates.
CO2 emissions of vehicles sold by Kamux (Scope 3 emissions) have been calculated using a calculator developed by The Finnish Central Organisation for Motor Trades and Repairs (AKL). In 2024, AKL, which is an association that provides services to, and represents the financial and labour-market interests of automobile, truck and machinery sales companies, repair, painting, anti-rust and inspection companies, developed a calculator to estimate the CO2 equivalent greenhouse gas
emissions of sold vehicles. The calculations are based on the average emissions by a vehicle by age and fuel type. The holding period of the customer is capped to four years. The emissions from manufacturing, driving an average distance, and repairs are included as estimates for each vehicle.
Data presented under Social information does not include any estimations.
Kamux has previously reported sustainability information according to the Non-financial Reporting Directive (NFRD). This sustainability statement is the first report following the ESRS.

The Board of Directors and the Group Management Team regularly discuss issues related to relevant sustainability topics.
In 2024, the focus was on preparing for CSRD reporting, and the Board was regularly updated on the company's progress. The Board of Directors has reviewed and approved the company's Impact, Risk and Opportunity Assessment (IRO) and the subsequent Double Materiality Analysis. The Board of Directors has also reviewed and approved a number of group level policies. In 2024, the Board of Directors approved that Net Promoter Score (NPS), measuring customer satisfaction, and Employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS), measuring employee engagement, are among the Group's long-term targets.
At Kamux, the entire Board of Directors discusses sustainability issues, while the Audit Committee has a more specific role related to the required assurance of the Sustainability Statement. The Board of Directors also approves the Sustainability Statement as part of the Report by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors convenes once a month, and the Group Management Team convenes weekly.
There were no major transactions during 2024. The following sustainability-related topics were addressed during the reporting period:
In 2024, Kamux had a long-term incentive plan for the Group's key persons for 2024-2026 that was divided into three oneyear performance periods. The CEO and the rest of the Group Management Team were participants in the plan. The Board of Directors set the performance criteria for each performance period. One of three criteria set for 2024 was the achievement of a specific ESG target metric, defined as eNPS (employee Net Promoter Score)m with a 10% weight. Climate-related considerations were not part of the performance criteria, meaning they were not factored into the remuneration of the members of the administrative, management, and supervisory bodies. In March 2025, Kamux's Board of Directors terminated the Share-based Incentive Plan 2024-2026 and replaced it with the Performance Matching Share Plan 2025-2029. The ESG criteria in this plan is also eNPS.
Consideration of sustainability-related risks is integrated into the company's existing compliance, governance, and operations management. The company does not have a separate sustainability risk management function but uses its overall risk and compliance processes to address relevant issues. The company does not have a separate due diligence process.
Internal audits are conducted as needed and may be conducted either internally or by external experts.
Kamux does not have a separate risk management or internal control system in relation to the sustainability reporting process but uses its overall risk and compliance processes to address risks related to sustainability reporting. Risks are assessed and managed in a business-oriented fashion and key risks are identified, assessed, managed, monitored, and reported on systematically as part of business. The Management Team regularly reports to the Board of Directors about risks and risk management measures.
Kamux's sustainability reporting is prepared by a crossfunctional internal team with support from external third-party experts. The entire Board of Directors was regularly updated on the company's progress in preparing for the reporting. In addition, the Audit Committee received reports from the company's auditor, who also acted as the assurer of the Sustainability Statement.
Kamux was founded in Finland in 2003, and it is specialized in the retail sales of preowned cars and related integrated services. The company has grown rapidly from one showroom in Finland to a listed company operating in three countries, Finland, Sweden and Germany. At the end of 2024, Kamux had a total of 69 showrooms: 44 in Finland, 17 in Sweden and 8 in Germany. In addition, Kamux served its customers online in Finnish, Swedish and German. Since its founding, Kamux has sold more than 500,000 used cars.
At the end of 2024, Kamux had 1,110 (1,059) employees, including all active full-time and part-time employees. Converted to full-time equivalent (FTE) employees, Kamux employed 904 (885) people in 2024, 629 of them in Finland, 196 in Sweden and 79 in Germany. Kamux's revenue in 2024 was EUR 1,010.2 million. 94.5% of the revenue, EUR 955 million, is from the sales of used cars, and 5.5% of the revenue, EUR 55 million, is from the sales of integrated services.
Kamux updated its strategy in March 2024. The current strategy is anchored to placing the customer at the core of all activities and improving operational efficiency as well as profitable growth. The company can accelerate growth with acquisitions as well as by building strategic partnerships. Kamux's vision is to be the number one used car retailer in Europe, and this is achieved by strengthening Kamux's concept and processes, as well as by developing the showroom network and selection.
The key development areas for customer experience in the new strategy period are the development of the car offering to better meet the needs of customers; fair, centrally driven prices; standardized and transparent inspection reports; improving the seamless customer experience across all
channels; and innovative and hassle-free services within the mobility space. Correspondingly, the key development areas for operational efficiency are utilizing the Group's power in sourcing; a more centralized and standardized car inspection, reconditioning and sales process; and a central data-assisted pricing and sourcing process. All of these will ensure systematic and sustainable operations in line with the Kamux concept.
Kamux has set NPS, Net Promoter Score, as its main sustainability-related goal. This metric is relevant across the entire customer base of the company.
Kamux's business is based on a combination of car showrooms and online presence, professional procurement of used cars, low fixed costs, fast inventory turnover and the sale of integrated services. Kamux's business model enables the sale of cars at an affordable price. Kamux strives to continuously develop its operations in such a way that the services it offers best meet the changing needs of customers. Kamux plays a significant role in renewing the car fleet in its operating countries, particularly in Finland, as it sells relatively new low-mileage and lower-thanaverage emission vehicles to its customers, thus enabling the transition to lower emission transport. Kamux also refurbishes or repairs cars as part of its pre-sales process, thus ensuring that the car is used for the full duration of its intended lifespan, thus contributing to the circular economy.
Kamux strives to align its own and its employees' interests through its incentive scheme. The sales personnel's incentive scheme takes into account sales, car purchases, and trade-in cars, as well as sales of integrated services, when determining the remuneration.
Kamux offers its customers third-party financing products in all of its showrooms in Finland, Sweden and Germany. In addition, Kamux offers third-party insurance products as well as its own liability extension product, Kamux Plus, for unexpected car repair costs in Finland and Sweden. A key component of Kamux's customer service concept is the home delivery service, where the car is delivered to the place agreed upon with the customer, and, at the same time, a possible trade-in car is picked up, when necessary. Digital channels play a key role in the customer's purchase process, as the purchase of a car typically starts online. Kamux also serves its customers via chat.
Kamux's entire range of cars is available for sale by all of its sellers and showrooms, and, if necessary, Kamux will transfer the car from one showroom or country to another once the sale is agreed upon.
Kamux acquires used cars from car auctions, leasing companies, other car dealers, finance companies, importers, private individuals, and other sources. The majority of the used cars sold by Kamux are acquired from its customers as trade-in cars. Kamux has a separate purchasing organization, which is responsible for car purchases from, for example, car auctions and partly also for consumer purchases.
All cars sold by Kamux undergo an inspection and reconditioning process. In the minimum, this process includes car fixing and washing, but it may also include repair and maintenance work as well as equipment upgrades. The inspection and reconditioning process is carried out by external vendors, many of whom are small, local operators.
In addition to its own channels, Kamux uses external online platforms and media for marketing and advertising its products. In addition to cars and related products such as tires, Kamux offers its customers third-party financing and insurance products. In Finland and Sweden, Kamux also offers its customers its own liability extension product for unexpected car repair costs, Kamux Plus.
Kamux has traditionally organized its operations locally and chosen to use primarily small local operators as its partners, particularly for processing and pre- and after-repair services.

Kamux's key stakeholders are its employees, customers buying or selling a car, suppliers and partners, shareholders and investors, industry associations, academia, as well as authorities and the media. Kamux strives for open dialogue with its stakeholders and regularly seeks to receive feedback in order to improve its operations. The Group Management Team manages stakeholder engagement as part of ongoing business management. Feedback received from stakeholders on their interests, views and rights, including respect for their human rights, is used as an important element in the company's strategy development.
Enthusiastic, committed and skilled personnel is the cornerstone of Kamux's operations, and the company strives to be a company for which its employees are proud to work for and where employees feel engaged and empowered. The main form of engagement with employees is the continuous two-way communication between employees and their managers, as well as within the various teams at Kamux. Kamux also seeks feedback regularly from its employees via bi-annual employee engagement surveys, based on which each team makes their improvement plans. Results of the employee engagement surveys are discussed by Management Teams (Group and
country level) and by the Board of Directors. The company also has regular townhall-type meetings at country level and utilizes group-wide and country-based intranets.
Kamux aims to become the most friendly, convenient and trustworthy used car retailer in Europe, and customer satisfaction is one of its most important Key Performance Indicators. Customer satisfaction is measured continuously by Net Promoter Score (NPS). An important part of customer engagement is also the day-to-day work by Kamux sales personnel both at showrooms and online, which Kamux aims
to improve via regular training, as well as the work of the aftersales teams, that are dedicated to helping customers in case a defect that was not known at the time of sale appears after the sale. NPS results are followed up regularly at showroom and country level. The results are discussed regularly at Group and country Management Team level, as well as by the Board of Directors.
Kamux engages with its shareholders, investors and financial institutions at the company's AGM and other investor events. Their information needs are also addressed via the company's regular financial reporting and other news the company publishes. In addition, specific discussions are held with financial institutions, for example, related to financing.
Kamux belongs to relevant industry associations and participates in their working groups and meetings. Kamux also cooperates with certain schools and universities to both contribute to the sales skill training as well as participate in various recruitment events and traineeship programs. Kamux's whistleblowing channel is available for all its stakeholders.
Based on the double materiality analysis, Kamux has identified the following material impacts, risks and opportunities that are presented in the following table. The company did not conduct any resilience analysis. Kamux's contribution to ensuring that cars are used for the full duration of their intended lifespan (E5-Resource use and circular economy), was not recognized as material based on the thresholds set for assessment, but it was identified as material based on management judgement.

There are no identified risks of material adjustment within the next annual reporting period to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities reported in the related financial statements.
Kamux conducted the initial double materiality assessment during August 2022-October 2023. The assessment was carried out by the ESG Working Group, led by the Chief People and Sustainability Officer and supported by external partners. The initial double materiality assessment was approved by the Board of Directors of Kamux Corporation in November 2023.
Kamux's business strategy, value chain description, and current sustainability themes were utilized as background sources of the topics mapping and the analysis process was based on a two-fold approach: how Kamux's actions impact the environment and society, and how these issues might affect the performance of Kamux. The initial topic listing was crosschecked against EU's CSRD and ESRS. An external partner conducted a survey on Kamux's sustainability topic impacts and financial materiality for the members of the Board and Executive Team (12 responses). In addition, one stakeholder interview was conducted (by an external partner). Customer understanding gained through Kamux's daily operations was also utilized in the process.
Based on the internal survey, CSRD/ESRS perspective and project team consideration, a list of potentially material topics was created. Kamux ESG working group conducted three
workshops facilitated by an external partner. Materiality views of the ESG working group as well as management and Board survey results were compared. As a result, an indicative Kamux materiality matrix was constructed. During this process, it was identified that as the company does not have manufacturing activities, ESRS topics Pollution, Water and Marine resources, and Biodiversity and ecosystems, are not material to the company. Based on the materiality work so far and due to internal Kamux process needs, key ESG KPIs were revised. These were approved by the Executive Team and the Board of Directors. The ESG working group continued its mapping of reporting requirements related to CSRD/ESRS.
The ESG working group carried out an initial assessment of Kamux's impacts and financial impact on Kamux. Sustainability impacts were analyzed also for the value chain of Kamux.
When identifying and assessing impacts, risks, and opportunities, their materiality was considered in the short, medium and long term in accordance with the definitions in ESRS 1.
The working process resulted in prioritized listing of material ESG topics, documented impacts, risks and opportunities as well as stakeholder information needs. Kamux Executive Team and the Board of Directors validated and approved the results in November 2023. The results of the materiality assessment provide the basis for Kamux's sustainability management and reporting development.
As the legislation was finalized and more detailed guidelines on reporting became available in the spring of 2024, it became evident that the initial DMA needed to be updated. Updates were conducted in June-November 2024. At this time, E5- Resource use and circular economy, was identified as a material topic based on management judgement, as Kamux's main business is selling used cars and the company considers that is has an enabling role in circular economy. The Board of Directors of Kamux Corporation approved the materiality assessment and the subsequent material topics in November 2024.
The company is looking to revise its double materiality assessment annually.
In assessing its impacts, their materiality and financial impact, Kamux defined the thresholds for Scale, Scope, Remediability, Likelihood and Potential Magnitude of Financial Effect, and subsequently the final assessment. For Scale, Scope, Remediability and Likelihood, a scale of 1-5 was used. Similarly, a scale of 1-5 was used for potential magnitude of financial effect, where 1 was less that EUR 0.5 million and 5 was over EUR 5 million. For actual positive impacts, materiality is based on the scale and the scope of the impact. For the potential positive impacts, materiality is based on and the scale, scope and likelihood of the impact. For actual negative impacts, materiality is based on the following factors: (a) the scale; (b) scope; and (c) irremediable character of the impact. For potential negative impacts, materiality is based on the severity of the impact (scale, scope and remediability) and likelihood of the impact. Likelihood was assessed in 5 categories ranging from 0-20% to 80-100%. The final threshold of materiality for impacts was set at 60% of the maximum score. The final threshold of materiality for risks and opportunities was set at EUR 1 million. For example, if the potential magnitude of the financial effect was EUR 3 million and the likelihood was 20%, then the financial materiality score was 0.6 and therefore, the risk was not material.
Climate change was identified as a material topic due to the topic's fundamental impact on the industry in general. The company has assessed and screened its major greenhouse gas (GHG) emission sources in its own operations and value chain, where possible. The majority of emissions are related to the value chain (Scope 3) emissions. The future emission profile would be the same. Kamux has not conducted a separate climate change scenario analysis, and did not conduct one during the assessment process regarding impacts, risks, and opportunities.
Kamux did consider climate-related physical hazards at high level. Climate-related risks, opportunities, and impacts were identified and assessed in the short, medium and long term. Based on the assessment, Kamux recognized several climate change adaptation-related impacts and risks as not material. This was established because the impact severity and potential magnitude of the risks were relatively low and non-material in the short term. In this assessment, the risk of regulatory changes specific to the sector was considered as material due to its financial impact, even though the long-term likelihood was considered relatively low. Kamux provides its customers an opportunity to decarbonize by opting for low-emission vehicles or hybrid vehicles, and this was considered as a major factor in the process.
Pollution was not identified as a material topic for sustainability reporting, as CO2 emissions related to car use are addressed in E1 Climate change, and other emissions related to car use were not material. In addition, Kamux's operations have very limited impact on water resources or soil, and Kamux does not use substances of concern or very high concern in its operations. During the process, Kamux has considered sub-topics Pollution of air, Pollution of water, Pollution of soil, Pollution of living
organisms and food resources, Substances of concern, Substances of very high concern, and Microplastics.
Water and marine resources was not identified as a material topic for sustainability reporting, as Kamux's operations take place in built environments with access to municipal water network and sewage and Kamux does not have operations in areas of high water stress. During the process, Kamux has considered sub-topics Water and marine resources, including sub-sub topics Water consumption, Water withdrawals, Water discharges, Water discharges to water bodies and oceans, and Extraction and use of marine resources.
Biodiversity and ecosystems was not identified as a material topic for sustainability reporting, as Kamux's operations take place in built environments where decisions impacting biodiversity and ecosystems have been made prior to Kamux's presence in the area. During the process, Kamux has considered sub-topics Direct impact drivers of biodiversity loss, including subtopics Climate change, Land-use change, fresh water-use change and sea-use change, Direct exploitation, Invasive alien species, and Pollution; Impacts on the state of species, Impacts on the extent and condition of ecosystems, and Impacts on and dependencies of ecosystem services.
For resource use and circular economy, Kamux screened its assets and activities and recognized that the car fleet is the main asset considered for impacts, risks, and opportunities. Kamux used its existing materials and data from its business lines in the assessment. Kamux's contribution to circular economy is in the core of its activities. Kamux strives to optimize the flow of used cars and to facilitate the circular economy in general. Kamux is an enabler for circular economy. Resource inflows and outflows were considered and based on the thresholds set for assessment, it was not recognized as
material. However, resource use and circular economy was raised as material based on management judgement, as Kamux contributes to ensuring that cars are used for the full duration of their intended lifespan as it refurbishes and repairs them prior to selling to customers as part of its pre-sales process, and the overall impact and opportunity Kamux core business activities can have on advancing circular economy.
Business conduct and its sub-topics, excluding Animal welfare and Political engagement, were identified as material due to the topic's overall importance for Kamux as a listed company. The topic did not appear material based on numerical evaluation. However, it was identified as material as a result of management consideration. Management consideration took into account all Kamux activities in its three operating countries.
The following table lists the Disclosure Requirements that are included in the Sustainability Statement and indicates which topics have been omitted as not material based on the materiality assessment.

The EU Taxonomy Regulation (2020/852) ("Taxonomy") is a classification system of environmentally sustainable activities that supports the EU's climate and energy targets as part of the objectives of the EU Green Deal to scale investments in sustainable projects and activities. The EU Taxonomy Regulation establishes six environmental objectives, namely Climate change mitigation, Climate change adaptation, Circular economy, Biodiversity and ecosystems, Conservation of water and marine resources and Pollution prevention.
As a listed company falling under the definition of Public Interest Entity (PIE) and in the scope of both Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD) and the current Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), Kamux has been obliged to report on its Taxonomy-eligible and aligned activities for turnover, capital expenditure (CapEx) and operational expenditure (OpEx) ('the taxonomy KPI's') since 2022. Kamux has followed a structured approach in its reporting. During the taxonomy eligibility screening in 2022 and 2023, Kamux did not recognize any eligible activities under the Climate Delegated Act, which has been applicable since 2022.
In 2024, Kamux revised its assessment of taxonomy eligibility and taxonomy alignment, considering the detailed technical screening criteria as set in the Climate Delegated Act (2021/2139), the Complementary Climate Delegated Act (2022/1214) and the Environment Delegated Act (2023/2486), as well as the amendments to the Climate Delegated Act (2023/2485). The process also took into account the reporting requirements laid down in the Disclosures Delegated Act (2021/2178). Double accounting does not take place and is avoided by separating the screened activities and ensuring a clear structure and reference to financial reporting. The EU taxonomy KPI's are presented in separate tables as detailed in the Regulation and Disclosures Delegated Regulation.
Eligibility was assessed at Kamux business operations level. Using the definition of 'economic activities' in the EU Taxonomy, the following activities were identified as eligible under the Environmental Delegated Act and Climate Delegated Act:
7.1 Construction of new buildings, Annex I to Climate Delegated Act
7.7 Acquisition and ownership of buildings, Annex I to Climate Delegated Act
A taxonomy-eligible activity is considered aligned when it meets the technical screening criteria for making a substantial contribution to at least one of the six environmental objectives, does not significantly harm the other environmental objectives (do no significant harm, DNSH, criteria), and is conducted in accordance with the minimum safeguards (MS) related to human rights, fundamental labor rights, taxation, anticorruption, bribery, and fair competition.
The technical screening criteria are very tight and none of the activities identified by Kamux as taxonomy eligible were identified as taxonomy aligned.
The EU Taxonomy KPIs, turnover, CapEx, and OpEx, are presented in separate tables as defined in the Disclosures Delegated Regulation. Revenue includes the sales revenue at Group level (as reported on Note 2.2 Revenue on page 92 of the Financial Statement). Taxonomy-eligible revenue includes revenue from sales of used cars (core business) and excludes revenue from integrated services and ancillary products. Similarly, capital expenditure (CapEx) and operating expenditure (OpEx) as described in the Taxonomy Regulation and Disclosures Regulation are reported at Group level. Revenue is only calculated for taxonomy eligibility for Activity under 5.4 (Sale of second hand goods), and does not include a risk of double counting.
In Kamux's taxonomy reporting, CapEx contains additions in right-of-use lease premises and land used for used car business, investments in applications and software development, as well as other tangible asset like machinery and equipment. The total CapEx is the total capital expenditure of the Group in 2024. Taxonomy eligible CapEx in 2024 totaled EUR 12.0 million and was almost 100% of the total CapEx.
OpEx contains direct expenses relating to the day-to-day servicing of the property, equipment and other assets, and amounted to about EUR 1.5 million in 2024. The expenditures that relate to real estate and building renovations, refurbishments, maintenance and repair have been classified as relevant for taxonomy eligible activities under Activities 5.4, 7.1 and 7.7. Taxonomy eligible OpEx was 99% of the total OpEx.

The largest direct climate impact of Kamux's operations comes from fuel usage related to test drives and transporting cars between markets and sales locations. Kamux seeks to minimize these emissions through careful planning of car placement and logistics.
Kamux does not have a transition plan for climate change mitigation nor a concrete plan for developing a transition plan.
| Description | Impact, risk, or opportunity |
Time horizon | Location in the value chain |
|---|---|---|---|
| Climate change adaptation | |||
| Kamux enables easier transition to lower-emission transport for its customers by bringing relatively new low-mileage and low-emission vehicles to its markets, especially Finland and Sweden. |
Actual positive impact |
Mid-term | Own operations |
| Consumer awareness of climate change is likely to increase demand for EVs, which provides Kamux with an opportunity to sell more EVs |
Opportunity | Mid-term | Own operations |
| Climate change mitigation | |||
| Kamux contributes to the transition to lower-emission transport, as its wide selection of available cars allows it to increase the share of alternative fuel vehicles, such as electric cars and hybrids, in line with the demand. |
Actual positive impact |
Long-term | Own operations |
| Regulatory changes can lead to fuel price increases and subsequently lesser use of private cars, which could significantly shrink the size of Kamux's market. A similar effect could happen if the use of older cars is restricted. |
Risk | Long-term | Own operations |
| Climate change: Energy | |||
| Fossil fuel usage in own operations to transport cars and to enable test drives; Kamux's operations use fossil fuels. |
Actual negative impact |
Short-term | Own operations |
| CO2 emissions of cars sold when in use; Cars sold by Kamux incur CO2 emissions when driven by customers. |
Actual negative impact |
Long-term | Downstream, used vehicle usage |
The company has not deployed separate climate change related scenario analysis or resilience analysis as part of its decisionmaking.
Newer cars tend to have lower emissions, even when powered by combustion engines. Kamux enables many consumers to affordably upgrade their car to a newer and lower-emission alternative. Kamux also supports the future of transportation, which involves reducing dependence on fossil fuels and embracing alternative power sources. By sourcing and offering for sale a wide selection of used electric and hybrid cars, Kamux makes the transition to low-emission transport easier for consumers, thus contributing to lower overall emissions related to transportation. Kamux offers a broad selection of low-emission combustion engine cars as well as cars with alternative power sources.
Kamux has identified tightening legislation as a material climate change related risk. Tightening legislation can lead to fuel price increases and, consequently, reduced private car usage, which could significantly reduce the size of Kamux's market. A similar effect could happen if the use of older cars is restricted. Kamux sees this as a transition risk.
Kamux's operations have a negative impact on climate change and energy, as its operations involve transport of cars to and between its locations as well as test drives by customers, using primarily fossil fuels. Kamux aims to optimize its logistics to mitigate this impact. In addition, the cars sold by Kamux to customers incur CO2 emissions when in use. This is mitigated over time, as the transition to lower emission vehicles progresses.
Impacts, risks and opportunities management
Kamux does not have separate policies to address climate change mitigation and adaptation, or a separate policy to manage the climate-change related material risks and opportunities because it is still developing its sustainability practices, particularly in relation to climate change.
The company has not taken actions in relation to climate change because it is still developing its sustainability practices, particularly in relation to climate change.
Kamux has not currently set specific targets relating to climate change mitigation and adaptation because it is still developing its sustainability practices, particularly in relation to climate change. Therefore, the company cannot disclose the information on targets related to climate change.
Kamux does not track the effectiveness of its policies. However, Kamux measures its contribution to the reduction of dependence on fossil fuels by monitoring on an annual basis the share of alternative fuel vehicles its sells. The company has not set a specific level of ambition to be achieved nor set a base period. In 2024, 20.6% of the cars Kamux sold were electric cars or hybrid cars (including plug-in and non-rechargeable hybrids).

* The amount of used electricity in all showrooms across all three countries and the heating energy consumption are estimated using accounting data and conversion factors separately for each country and then added together. Fuel consumption from crude oil and petroleum products includes an estimation of diesel and gasoline usage in vehicles on sale and staff vehicle usage for company purposes. Estimation is based on accounting data (EUR), which has been converted to litres using average prices from the European Commission's Weekly Oil Bulletin. The actual share of sold diesel cars was used in estimating share of diesel used. The rest was assumed to be petrol. Litres were converted to kWh via a commonly available converter using average prices. The amounts derived from the estimation procedure are considered indicative of the amount of energy consumed, and the use of estimations introduces a significant level of uncertainty into the environmental data presented.
Kamux's total energy intensity is 47 MWh / EUR million. 95% of Kamux's revenue comes from sales of used cars that is defined as a high climate impact sectors (G45.1.1). Kamux's total revenue in 2024 was EUR 1,010.2 million (Consolidated statement of comprehensive income, line item revenue).

Scope 1 emissions contain an estimate of emissions from fuel (diesel and petrol) used by vehicles on sale and staff vehicle usage for company purposes. Fuel consumption is estimated using accounting data (EUR) and an estimated average price.
No actual usage information (litres) was used. Litres were converted to greenhouse gas emissions via a commonly available converter. Diesel and petrol were not differentiated in terms of the selected emission factor or average price. The amounts derived from the estimation procedure are considered indicative, and the use of estimations and emission factors introduces a significant level of uncertainty into the environmental data presented. Scope 1 GHG emissions include the total direct emissions of Kamux, which consist of the fuel used in own operations. Kamux does not have data on direct biogenic emissions of CO2 from combustion or bio-degradation of biomass in its scope 1 GHG emissions.
Scope 2 emissions contain an estimate of emissions from heating and electricity used in Kamux's showrooms. The amount of used electricity in all showrooms across all three countries and the heating energy consumption are estimated using accounting data (EUR) and conversion factors separately for each country and then added together. No actual usage information (kWh) was used. The total electricity costs were converted to kWhrs using Eurostat data on electricity prices, and AIB (Association for Issuing Bodies) data was used to convert the kilowatt-hours into Scope 2 CO2 emissions. Location-based emissions were calculated using country specific production mix factors and market-based emissions were calculated using country specific residual mix factors published in AIB's document European Residual Mixes 2023 (p.16). The amounts derived from the estimation procedure are considered indicative of the amount of energy consumed, and the use of estimations and emission factors introduces a significant level of uncertainty into the environmental data presented. The applied emission factors do not separate the precentage of biomass or biogenic CO2. Other GHG emission data besides CO2 is not available.
The largest component of Kamux's GHG emissions are the Scope 3 GHG emissions from the use of sold products (used cars). The GHG emissions from Purchased goods and services are estimated using the calculation methodology provided by The Finnish Central Organisation for Motor Trades and Repairs (AKL). For repairs in this category (services) the emissions are estimated using accounting data and EXIOBASE emission factor multipliers retrieved via the Climatiq portal to convert euro amounts into CO2 equivalent tons. The GHG emissions from Use of sold products are estimated using the calculation methodology provided by AKL that includes all indirect emissions that occur in the value chain. The categories are structured in a way that they are mutually exclusive, so that there is no double counting. Emissions from the customers' driving of their purchased used cars (use of sold products) is capped at four years after sale according to average usage as defined by AKL guidance documents. The input data for the calculation is the number of sold cars by age and fuel type. The AKL calculator is based on the average-data method.
The other (Waste generated in operations, Business travel, Upstream transportation and distribution) Scope 3 GHG emissions amounts are estimated using a spend-based method. This is done by using accounting data and EXIOBASE emission factor multipliers retrieved via the Climatiq portal to convert euro amounts into CO2 equivalent tons. Due to this, there are significant uncertainties related to the estimates.
The applied emission factors for Scope 3 emissions do not separate the percentage of biomass or biogenic CO2.
The excluded Scope 3 categories are: Processing of sold products, End-of-life treatment of sold products, Cloud computing and data centre services, Capital goods, Fuel and energy-related activities, Downstream transportation, Employee commuting, Upstream leased assets, Downstream leased assets, Franchises, Investments. These categories are not relevant for Kamux's Scope 3 GHG emissions or there was no data available.
Kamux's total location-based GHG emissions per net revenue equal to 949 tCO2eq / EUR million (market-based: 951 tCO2eq / EUR million). The net revenue used in the calucation is Kamux's total revenue in 2024, EUR 1,010.2 million.

Kamux buys and sells only used cars but does not manufacture cars. Its business model is based on circularity, as sales of used cars is its core operative action. As a seller of used cars, Kamux promotes opportunities to enhance the circular economy.
As part of its operations, Kamux uses third-party services to clean, repair and refurbish cars. Through repairs and equipment upgrades it improves the usability of cars and extends their lifespan ensuring that existing vehicles are kept in traffic throughout their reasonable lifespan. Kamux utilizes highquality recycled spare parts whenever possible.
Kamux's entire business model is based on the circularity structure of selling used cars.
Kamux addresses circular economy in it's Environmental Policy that has the objective of ensuring a group-wide understanding of Kamux's environmental impacts and objectives as well as to provide guidance to its employees in how to contribute to
meeting the objectives. The policy states that Kamux improves the usability of cars and extends their lifespan through repairs and equipment upgrades, and that Kamux utilizes high-quality recycled spare parts whenever possible.
The Environmental Policy covers all Kamux activities and everyone working for Kamux Group or any of its subsidiaries. The Group CEO is in charge of the implementation of the policy.
Kamux has not defined specific circular economy related actions that are linked to its Environmental Policy.
However, Kamux's entire business model is based on selling used (second-hand) cars, which Kamux sees as promoting circular economy. In addition, as part of its maintenance, repair and refurbishing activities the company engages in value retention activities that improve the usability of cars and ensures that the manufactured and already existing vehicles are kept in traffic throughout their reasonable lifespan.
Kamux has not currently set specific targets relating to resource use and circular economy, because it is still developing its sustainability practices. However, Kamux only sells used cars and promotes the sale of re-used goods in its business model.
To measure its success in promoting circular economy beyond the number of used cars it sells, Kamux measures the share of cars that undergo maintenance and repair measures and/or equipment upgrades that extend the life-cycle of cars. In 2024, 68% of cars sold by Kamux were maintained or repaired.

Kamux has identified all people in its own workforce to be materially impacted by activities of Kamux. The main identified impacts are positive. The actual and potential impacts on its own workforce were identified as part of the double materiality assessment.
The potential and actual impacts are connected to Kamux business model, because enthusiastic, committed and skilled personnel is the cornerstone of Kamux's operations and a prerequisite for the successful implementation of Kamux's
strategy. Therefore, it is in Kamux's best interest to ensure that it continues to impact its employees positively. Equally, the efficient mitigation of identified risk of lack of engagement is essential to the successful implementation of the company's strategy.
The majority of Kamux's employees are permanent full-time employees, working either in sales or purchasing, and having a commission-based salary. In addition to permanent fulltime employees, Kamux regularly has full-time, fixed-term
employees (for example, as summer workers) and part-time, permanent employees due to the employees' personal reasons. Kamux also has some permanent and fixed-term employees with non-guaranteed hours, who typically work in the transport of cars. All people in Kamux's own workforce who could be materially impacted are included in the double materiality assessment and impacts considered therein. Kamux has not carried out a separate human rights risk assessment.
Enthusiastic, committed and skilled personnel is the cornerstone of Kamux's operations, and the company strives to be a company for which its employees are proud to work for and where employees feel engaged and empowered.
Kamux respects the universally recognized human rights and complies with the key principles of the International Labor Organization as described in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Labour Organisation's (ILO) Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work.
The standards for ethical behavior that are applicable for all Kamux employees are described in Kamux's Code of Conduct. The Code was renewed during 2024. The main principles and rules followed by Kamux Corporation and Kamux Group Companies in relation to human rights are described in Kamux Human Rights Policy and the main principles and rules related to human resources matters are described in Kamux Human Resources Policy. These policies are designed to mitigate the material impacts and risks, and strengthen the opportunities related to Kamux's own workforce as well as offer guidance, and they cover actions related to all Kamux's full-time and part-time employees. Both Kamux's Human Rights Policy and Kamux's Human Resources Policy have been adopted by the Board in 2024. The Code of Conduct, Kamux Human Rights Policy and Kamux Human Resources Policy relate to all impacts and risks related to social matters. They cover all Kamux activities and everyone working for Kamux Group or any of its subsidiaries. The Group CEO is in charge of the implementation of the policies.
The above-mentioned policies have been designed to be aligned with, for example, the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. The policies do not explicitly address trafficking in human beings, forced labor or compulsory labor and child labor in relation to its own workforce, as these have not been identified as risks in Kamux's own operations.
Kamux aims for a continuous open dialogue with its employees and has processes in place to ensure this. The main form of engagement is the continuous two-way communication between employees and their managers, as well as within the various teams at Kamux. Kamux also seeks feedback regularly from its employees via bi-annual employee engagement surveys.
Kamux operates in Finland, Sweden and Germany, and complies with applicable local and EU level legislation related to labor matters and employee health and safety. Kamux does not have a separate workplace accident prevention management system or policy, but the company is committed to providing a healthy and safe workplace for its employees and strives to minimize accidents and to mitigate health and safety risks.
Kamux is committed to diversity and equal employment opportunity and has zero tolerance for any kind of discrimination on any grounds whatsoever. Kamux does not have a specific policy aimed at the elimination of discrimination, harassment or the promotion of equal opportunities, but Kamux's Code of Conduct, Human Rights Policy and Human Resources Policy explicitly prohibit any form of discrimination and grounds for discrimination are described in these policies. These policies cover all grounds for discrimination covered by European legislation and national laws.
Kamux is committed to fostering a culture of diversity and advancing inclusion where every employee feels valued, respected, and empowered to contribute their unique talents. Kamux's recruitment is non-discriminatory and equal in all situations, and Kamux offers career opportunities to all kinds of people. In hiring decisions, Kamux emphasizes customer orientation, professionalism, enthusiasm, responsibility, and cooperation. Kamux does not have a separate inclusion or positive action policy, but elements of these are included in the Code of Conduct and Human Resources Policy.
As of 2024, all new employees complete an e-learning course on Kamux's Code of Conduct, previously titled Kamux's Way of Doing Business. The course focuses on guiding new employees on ethical behavior at Kamux and informs them about the Whistleblowing channel. Managers have the responsibility of creating and sustaining an ethical and safe work environment at Kamux, and they are expected to lead by example. Managers are required to observe and report instances of discrimination and take any necessary corrective or disciplinary actions needed. All employees are encouraged to report any detected or suspected discrimination either to their managers or via the existing Whistleblowing channel.
Kamux aims for a continuous open dialogue with its employees where primary responsibility is with each manager and employee rather than separate representatives. Managers are trained to respond to workers' concerns and about material, actual and potential, positive and/or negative impacts affecting them in daily interactions. Each operating country has regular all-employee monthly calls, led by the local management team. In addition to current topics, monthly calls are used to share best practices, ideas and proposals raised by employees, and to reward well-performing teams. Interaction during the monthly calls is encouraged.
In addition to monthly calls, employees are engaged with at weekly meetings at the showroom level. In Finland and Sweden, the local intranets include an electronic feedback tool that allows both anonymous and signed feedback, which is regularly reviewed and discussed by local management. In Germany, ondemand feedback workshops and surveys are used.
Kamux recommends that bi-annual performance reviews are held at all levels of staff and that they are also used for twoway feedback. The company also seeks feedback via bi-annual employee engagement surveys, based on which each team makes their improvement plans. Results of the employee engagement surveys are discussed by Management Teams (Group and country level) and by the Board of Directors. The
engagement surveys are also used to assess the effectiveness of engagement with employees, with employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS) being one of the company's long-term targets.
The Human Resources function, led by the Chief People Officer (Group HR Director), has the operational responsibility for ensuring that the periodic engagement activities take place, and that feedback received from employees is discussed at appropriate levels within the organization. The results of engagement surveys are shared with employees. Also, based on the feedback received via the surveys, management teams supported with line management and the HR function decide on appropriate actions. Where applicable, employees participate in planning the actions.
Kamux has the following channels and processes in place for its employees to raise concerns and for remediating possible negative impacts:
Bi-annual employee surveys
Code of Conduct that sets out the standards for ethical behavior that are applicable for all Kamux employees - Workplace mediation
If a Kamux employee becomes aware that another employee has violated Kamux's Code of Conduct, any other Kamux policy or laws or regulations, the employee is expected to report the violation. As the preferred option, employees are encouraged to contact their manager, over manager or a local human resources representative. Alternatively, or additionally, employees can also report any violations via the Whistleblowing channel, that allows also anonymous reporting. Any negative
actions against an employee who reports a possible violation are explicitly prohibited.
Kamux's Whistleblowing channel is provided by an outside service provider, and it enables reporting through a webbased system either by name, or anonymously. Reporting is also possible through voicemail in Sweden and in Germany. All reports made are promptly investigated and appropriate actions will be taken. Further information about the details and procedures relating to Kamux's whistleblowing process is reported under section G1.
The above-mentioned channels are introduced in onboarding sessions and access to them is highlighted on the company's intranet. Channels are also mentioned in mandatory training modules such as in Harassment and misconduct in the workplace training.
The Human Resources function follows up the number of reports made via the Whistleblowing channel on a monthly basis. The electronic feedback tools in Finland and Sweden are checked by country management on monthly basis. When Kamux becomes aware of material negative impacts on its employees, it will aim to remedy such impacts as part of its regular management and HR operations. As part of its ongoing duties, through discussions with employees and line management, Human Resources function assesses how well Kamux's own workforce is aware of and trusts the processes as a way to raise concerns.
At Kamux, risks and impacts related to own workforce are recognized as part of the company's overall risk and compliance processes. Risks and impacts are assessed and managed in a business-oriented fashion and key risks are identified, assessed, managed, monitored and reported on systematically as part of business.
Kamux has identified low engagement and increased turnover of personnel as a material risk, as it could decrease productivity and increase costs, subsequently resulting in lower profitability. To mitigate this risk, Kamux takes action as needed. Kamux conducts bi-annual employee engagement surveys and then utilizes the results and feedback to create action plans at company, country and team level. The results are also used to identify needed actions as well as responses to actual or potential impacts taking place that relate to own workforce.
Kamux aims to ensure the engagement of its personnel, for example by ensuring competitive compensation for sales and purchasing staff and by providing continuous learning and development opportunities via trainings. In addition, in 2024 Kamux established a matching share plan for the recognized rising key employees of the Group with the aim to retain the future key employees at the company and to offer them a competitive incentive plan that is based on acquiring and accumulating Kamux shares, as well as to encourage them to personally invest in the company's shares.
Kamux considers that it has several positive impacts on own workforce. Kamux is an increasingly international company with a diverse customer base, and a diverse workforce is important for it to best serve its customers. Kamux provides employment and career opportunities for people from diverse backgrounds, of all ages and in different life situations. By providing training for work, Kamux is able to offer employment to individuals with no prior experience or education. As compensation has a direct link to sales and purchasing performance, Kamux ensures adequate compensation for its staff. Diverse employment is further enhanced by Kamux's compensation structure that is based on objective performance-based metrics that do not discriminate based on e.g. gender. In addition, Kamux's internal guidelines and Code of Conduct, as well as manager trainings, aim to ensure fair treatment of all employees. They also aim to ensure that should misconduct happen, it is detected and handled appropriately.
To ensure that its compensation remains competitive, Kamux regularly adjusts its compensation schemes for the provision-based employees. Kamux also continuously develops its training programs directed at various levels within the organization. In 2024, Kamux Finland organized internal training programs for example for leadership (License to Lead) and sales (certified Car Seller), and similar programs are planned to be launched in Sweden in 2025. A group-wide e-learning platform was also launched in 2024. Kamux supports the wellbeing of its employees with a comprehensive benefits program including support for sports, culture and wellbeing. In Finland employees have access to e.g. a company supported bike, as well as to externally provided webinars focusing on employee wellbeing.
Kamux continuously monitors the effectiveness of the compensation schemes and training programs and makes adjustments as necessary, at least on an annual basis.
Kamux believes that longer employment relationships may generate better results, and it therefore aims to further improve the engagement of its employees through continued positive dialogue. Kamux is also committed to providing good working conditions to its employees, as it aims to minimize healthrelated absence from work.
Kamux has not currently set measurable, time-bound and results-oriented targets related to own worforce, as it is still developing its sustainability practices. Therefore the company cannot disclose the information on such targets.
Competent and committed personnel deliver Kamux's results, and Kamux has identified lack of engagement and increased employee turnover as a material risk. The key indicator for
employee engagement is the employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS), which the company measures bi-annually. The longterm target set for eNPS is 40. In 2024, the eNPS measured in the fourth quarter was 7. The exceptionally low result was impacted by a cost savings program being announced at the time of measurement, as well as changes in the Swedish organization. The eNPS score is measured to both reduce negative impacts, advance positive impacts as well as manage the material risk relating to Kamux's own workforce.
The eNPS metric is based on the Net Promoter Score (NPS) customer loyalty metric, and is widely used to measure employee satisfaction, dedication, loyalty and engagement. The score is based on the question "How likely is it that you would recommend your employer to a friend or colleague?" Answering options range from 0 (not at all likely) to 10 (extremely likely). Answers will be grouped into three sets: promoters (give a score of 9 or 10), passives (give a score 7 or 8) and detractors (give a score 0-6). eNPS score is calculated by detracting the percentage of detractors from percentage of promoters (% promoters - % detractors). The result can be either negative or positive.
Results of the employee engagement surveys are discussed by Management Teams (Group and country level) and by the Board of Directors, and improvement plans are made at team level.
In 2024, Kamux's average total number of employees was 792 (headcount). 11% were women and 88% were men. The total number of employees does not include employees working with the transport of cars with non-guaranteed hours, whereas they are included in the FTE number of employees reported in Kamux's Financial Statements Bulletin and Interim Reports. In terms of full-time equivalent employees (FTE), Kamux's average number of employees in January-December 2024 was 904. Non-guaranteed employees mentioned in tables 3 and 4 work as sales assistants and in the finance department when extra resources are needed.

In Finland Kamux is a member of The Finnish Central Organisation for Motor Trades and Repairs (AKL) and complies with its's collective agreement for most of its employees. Directors and certain managers are not covered by the collective agreement. In Sweden and in Germany the company does not belong to any employer association and is therefore not a so-called organized employer, but its operations are guided by labor legislation, the provisions of the concluded employment contracts, as well as the company's internal instructions and established practices. Employees are free to join the employee association of their choice if they wish. The company does not object to organizing.
The company does not have an agreement with employees for representation by European Works Council (EWC) or similar.

Kamux pays adequate wages to its employees in all operating countries (Finland, Sweden, Germany). In Finland Kamux follows the collective bargaining agreement by The Finnish Central Organisation for Motor Trades and Repairs (AKL), and in Sweden and Germany, publicly available reports on the relevant wage level are used to support wage reviews.

Due to lack of a common payroll system, compensation data was collected separately from each Kamux operating country. Currencies have been aligned. The salary information takes into account both fixed salary and variable salary components. Calculations include all full-time employees who have been working full year 2024 at Kamux. Part-time employees and employees who have not worked for a full year (12 months) in 2024, are not included in the calculation. Full year is defined based on available information on the number of working days (Finland 252. For Sweden and Germany 365 days was used, as more accurate information was not available.) As a result of this definition, personnel transferred to Kamux from Secto and Webcars are not included in the calculation of payroll data. Due to the method of calculation, there are limitations and uncertainties in the reported numbers. If a larger group of employees had been included and a different method of calculation had been used, the results could be different from what is presented now.
Kamux has in use a Whistleblowing channel through which both internal and external stakeholders can report incidents or raise concerns. The channel is provided by an outside service provider, and it enables reporting through a web-based system either by name, or anonymously. The table below includes reports made via this Whistleblowing channel.

Kamux sells preowned cars and related integrated services in Finland, Sweden and Germany. Its customers are primarily individual consumers, although the company's customer base also includes entrepreneurs and small businesses. Kamux sells a wide range of different cars, both in terms of brands, power sources, ages and price points, and therefore, in practice all adult consumers wanting to buy a car are potential customers of Kamux. These consumers can be materially impacted by Kamux's activities.
As part of its sales process, Kamux collects information on its customers and potential customers. Potential failure to handle such information in accordance with relevant regulations could jeopardize customers' privacy, which is identified as a potential negative impact. Similarily, a potential data breach in Kamux's systems could compromise customer data, which could also lead to substantial fines to the company, and is therefore considered a material risk. Kamux believes that ensuring appropriate handling of customer personal data is an indirect potential opportunity for the company, as it aims to be a trusted partner and seller of used cars.
On the other hand, Kamux provides comprehensive and transparent information on the cars it sells and Kamux's advertising aims to provide correct and accurate information on its products and services, thus allowing and enabling consumers to make well-informed and safe purchase decisions, which is considered a positive impact. Kamux also considers that by providing comprehensive and transparent information on its products and services, it has the possibility of attracting and retaining additional customers, which is a business opportunity.
Collecting and handling of customer data is an essential part of Kamux's operations and therefore directly related to its business model. As Kamux aims to become the most friendly, convenient and trustworthy used car retailer, the impacts it has and may have on its customers and end users have a significant role in its strategy.
Kamux sees an opportunity to attract and retain additional customers by providing comprehensive and transparent information on its products and services, and by ensuring appropriate handling of customer personal data, Kamux aims to be a trusted partner and seller of used cars.
All Kamux's customers and end-users are included in the scope of disclosure under ESRS 2.
Kamux's material impacts, risks and opportunities on consumers and end users are related to the data it collects and stores on its customers and potential customers, as well as on the information it provides to its customers and potential customers on the products and services it sells.
Kamux has policies in place to manage the material impacts. To a large extent, the material impacts, risks and opportunities are managed by following the relevant applicable legislation in Kamux's operating countries Finland, Sweden and Germany.
Kamux respects the universally recognized human rights and complies with the key principles of the International Labor Organization as described in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Labour Organisation's (ILO) Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work.
The main principles and rules followed by Kamux Corporation and Kamux Group Companies in relation to human rights are described in Kamux Human Rights Policy. It covers all Kamux activities and everyone working for Kamux Group or any of its subsidiaries. The Group CEO is in charge of the implementation of the policy.
In addition, Kamux's Code of Conduct, which is applicable to all its employees and which all its employees are trained on, addresses specifically information on cars and dealing with customers, marketing and sales practices, and confidentiality of information. Furthermore, the collection and processing of personal data is always based on legislation, customer agreement, the legitimate interest of Kamux Group or other pertinent connection, or the consent of the individual. The Code of Conduct covers all Kamux activities and everyone working for Kamux Group or any of its subsidiaries. The Group CEO is in charge of the implementation of the Code of Conduct.
The above-mentioned policies have been designed to be aligned with, for example, the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.
Kamux is not aware of any complaints filed to the National Contact Points for OECD Multinational Enterprises regarding any of its activities in any of its operating countries. No fines, penalties or compensation demands have been set for Kamux. There are no identified cases of severe human rights incidents.
Kamux engages with its customers and end-users in multiple ways in the course of its normal business. Kamux also actively seeks feedback from its customers in order to improve its operations. To assess the effectiveness of its engagement with customers, Kamux sends each customer who buys a car from Kamux, sells a car to Kamux, or has received an offer to buy or sell, an online questionnaire measuring customer satisfaction. The result is Net Promoter Score (NPS), which is one of Kamux's most important Key Performance Indicators. The NPS is continuosly monitored and followed on Group, country and showroom level.
In matters related to the collection and processing of personal data and data protection, customers have multiple ways to contact Kamux. These include sending email to Kamux's Data Protection Officer, and sending a letter to Kamux Corporation.
On matters related to concerns or questions on Kamux's products and services, or on information provided of them, especially related to a grievance or a complaint, customers are instructed to contact Kamux's aftersales teams. Managing directors of Kamux's operating countries have the final operational responsibility to ensure this engagement happens and that the results inform Kamux's way of working. To avoid misunderstandings, Kamux prefers to receive and handle customer grievances and complaints in writing and provides a web-based contact form for that purpose. In Finland, consumers may also contact customer service by phone.
Kamux's Whistleblowing channel is also available for its customers and end-users in cases of misconduct or suspected misconduct. The channel can be accessed via Kamux Corporation's website.
Kamux aims to respond to questions and other matters raised without undue delay. On matters related to data protection, the primary responsibility for communication lies with the data protection and security officers, supported by other experts as necessary. On matters related to customer grievances and complaints, the primary responsibility for communication lies with the aftersales teams in each operating country.
Kamux is committed to remedying any negative impacts related to the personal data of its customers and end users. Kamux ensures that the processing of personal data is lawful, proper and transparent for the data subject. Kamux informs the data subjects i.a. of what personal data is collected from them, for what purpose, where the data is collected from and where the data is disclosed. A privacy notice is drafted for each personal data file and the data subject is informed of the processing of personal data in a timely manner, including their rights to control their own information.
Kamux provides contact channels through which customers and end users can raise their concerns related to their personal data. In the event of a data breach involving customers' personal data, Kamux would approach each customer personally and inform them of the matter as required by the General Data Protection Regulation.
The contact channels, including Kamux's Whistleblowing channel, are mentioned in the section S4-2. The channels can be accessed via Kamux's country-based websites and the Whistleblowing channel via Kamux's corporate website. The number of customers contacting Kamux in matters related to personal data is low, and therefore there is no customer feedback on these channels. The details of Whistleblowing processes and protection are included in section G1-1.
Kamux is committed to managing the potential negative impacts on consumers and end-users associated with its operations. Kamux has not defined specific actions related to its consumers and end-users that are linked to its Code of Conduct and providing correct and accurate information on the cars it sells, as it sees this as a part of its everyday business.
To ensure the protection of customer data and to maintain General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliance Kamux prioritizes the security of systems and processes in order to ensure the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of data. Kamux has a comprehensive information security framework, incorporating multiple layers of protection, including network safeguards, endpoint encryption and security, and continuous system monitoring. This activity is continuous and there is no specific timeframe for it.
The company maintains incident response protocols that enable timely detection and containment of potential datarelated incidents, ensuring minimal impact on operations. Sensitive data is managed in accordance with established industry standards, leveraging secure storage and encrypted transmission technologies to protect information and data. The company conducts regular risk assessments and system reviews to identify and address vulnerabilities in a controlled manner. Furthermore, Kamux collaborates with reliable service providers and partners who adhere to stringent data protection protocols, ensuring a secure supply chain.
Basic training on information security and data protection is an integral part of Kamux's induction process for all new employees and one of the everyday measures that the company takes to mitigate the risk of a data breach.
As part of their induction program, all new salespeople undergo a separate mandatory training module in appropriate handling of customer data (GDPR), ensuring that they are aware of their role and responsibilities in protecting customer data. The training takes place via Kamux's e-learning platform and includes a test at the end of the training. The purchasing organization and sales assistants are trained in how cars are modelled correctly as part of Kamux's pre-sales process to ensure that the information Kamux provides on the cars it sells is comprehensive and correct. Confidentiality of information and information security are also addressed in Kamux's Code of Conduct, which all employees are trained on annually.
Kamux has not currently set measurable, time-bound or resultsoriented targets related to consumers and end-users, as it is still developing its sustainability practices. Therefore, the company cannot disclose the information on such targets.
Related to the positive impact of providing comprehensive and transparent information on the cars it sells, Kamux regularly measures its customers' satisfaction with NPS (Net Promoter Score). NPS is one of Kamux's main Key Performance Indicators, and Kamux believes it will give a good indication of its success in providing comprehensive and transparent information on the cars it sells, and in helping its customers make well-informed and safe purchase decisions. Providing comprehensive and transparent information on the cars it sells is also linked to Kamux's Code of Conduct. Kamux's long-term target is NPS of 60 or higher on the Group level. NPS is measured continuously and reported as part of Kamux's long-term targets quarterly.
Kamux's NPS for 2024 was 51.
The NPS target was set by the company management, and consumers were not engaged in setting it. Consumers who have bought a car from Kamux may choose to give or not to give feedback to Kamux as they respond to the survey that Kamux sends them.

Kamux has a culture that is reflected strongly in Kamux's Code of Conduct. The Code of Conduct was renewed during 2024 and sets out the standards for ethical behavior for all Kamux employees and members of the management as well as all officers and directors. The Code of Conduct covers all Kamux activities and everyone working for Kamux Group or any of its subsidiaries. The Group CEO is in charge of the implementation of the Code.
Kamux is committed to complying with laws and regulations and to acting in accordance with commonly accepted best practices. Violation of any laws or regulations, including any participation in illegal acts, or unethical business dealings are not accepted. The Code of Conduct explicitly prohibits any payment and receipt of bribes or other similar payments to uphold or to contribute to Kamux's business. Improper payments are not limited to payments of cash or currency but may include anything sufficiently valuable (trips, gifts, etc.). In the previous version of Code of Conduct, titled Kamux Way of Doing Business, giving and accepting bribes is equally prohibited. In addition, Kamux never accepts cash as payment for its products or services. Kamux has not carried out a separate process to identify the functions that are most at risk in respect of corruption and bribery.
Section ESRS 2 GOV-1 includes a description of the role of administrative, management and supervisory bodies and their competencies, expertise as well as division of responsibilities.
The Kamux Way of Doing Business (the previous Code) has been an important element of employee induction process at Kamux since 2017. As of 2024, all new employees completed an e-learning course based on this document upon starting at Kamux. At the end of the e-learning course there is always a test. The e-learning course has been updated according to the renewed Code of Conduct after the reporting year in 2025, and going forward, the training is mandatory to all employees annually. The bi-annual employee engagement and Pulse surveys also give an indication of the corporate culture. Kamux continuously develops and assesses the corporate culture and evaluates the effectiveness of actions.
In addition, Kamux has in place Guidelines for purchasing cars, goods and services in all of its operating countries. These guidelines have the objective and specifically state that Kamux representatives are always independent and incorruptible, and that they shall never accept or give bribes or favors. The guidelines are expected to be attached to all supply agreements. In early 2024, the guidelines were amended to include expectations on suppliers' working conditions and employee health and safety, as well as on minimizing their environmental impact. Managing Directors of the operating companies and the central sourcing organization are in charge of overseeing the implementation of the guidelines.
In November 2024, Kamux's Board of Directors approved and issued a comprehensive Supplier Code of Conduct that clearly states Kamux's expectations on its suppliers with regard to
compliance with laws and regulations; responsible business conduct, including zero tolerance for corruption, bribery, money laundering and tax evasion; labor and human rights; and the environment. The new Supplier Code of Conduct is planned to be rolled out throughout the company in 2025. The Supplier Code of Conduct covers all Kamux activities and everyone working for Kamux Group or any of its subsidiaries. The Group CEO is in charge of the implementation of the Supplier Code of Conduct.
Kamux is subject to the legal requirements in place with regard to protection of whistleblowers.
If a Kamux employee becomes aware that another employee has violated Kamux's Code of Conduct, any other Kamux policy or laws or regulations, the employee is expected to report the violation. As the preferred option, employees are encouraged to contact their manager, over manager or a local human resources representative. Alternatively, or additionally, employees can also report any violations via the Whistleblowing channel that also allows anonymous reporting. It is specifically stated in the Code of Conduct that any negative actions against an employee who reports a possible violation are explicitly prohibited.
Kamux's Whistleblowing channel is provided by an outside service provider, and it enables reporting through a webbased system either by name or anonymously. In Sweden and Germany, reporting is also possible through voicemail. All reports made are promptly investigated and appropriate actions are taken. Reports are received by Kamux Reporting channel team which includes a limited number of people. Only those participating in the investigation will receive information on the report and the related investigation. People under or related to suspicion are not allowed to participate in the investigation. All suspicions will be investigated thoroughly. Investigative procedures will be decided on a case-by-case basis, and Kamux will use external specialists when needed.
The company will not take disciplinary action towards persons under suspicion before the investigation has been completed.
The reporting channel is technically implemented by an external service provider, which ensures the security of the whistleblower's anonymity, encryption of reports and compliance with strict information security criteria in the Reporting system. The whistleblower and appointed individuals at Kamux will receive personal IDs which will allow them to view the encrypted report and continue communication through the channel anonymously and securely. Kamux does not seek to find out the identity of an anonymous whistleblower at any time.
Kamux employees are expected to report if they detect any possible signs of corruption or bribery. In addition, the company has built in controls in its data systems that detect and identify any unusual activity. The company also conducts regular internal audits performed by third party experts to identify possible unlawful behavior or behavior in contradiction of Kamux's Code of Conduct or other internal guidelines. Kamux does not have a separate policy on anti-corruption or antibribery that is consistent with the United Nations Convention Against Corruption. Kamux plans to implement and onboard a separate policy on anti-corruption and anti-bribery during 2025.
Kamux has not set measurable, time-bound and resultsoriented targets related to material business conduct topics, as it is still developing its sustainability practices. Therefore the company cannot disclose the information on such targets.
Kamux has a wide supplier base, as it has traditionally organized its operations locally and chosen to use primarily small local operators as its partners, particularly for pre- and after sales processing and repair services. A large part of the used cars sold by Kamux are purchased from its customers as trade-in cars, but it also buys used cars from car auctions, leasing companies, other car dealers, finance companies, importers, private individuals and other sources in several European countries.
Kamux's Guidelines for purchasing cars, goods and services guide its relationships with its suppliers. To manage the potential sustainability-related risks in its supply chain, Kamux aims to have written contracts with all its suppliers. Kamux does not have a specific policy to prevent late payments, specifically to SME's or otherwise, but its practice is to pay invoices according to agreed payment terms, and in case such agreement is missing, according to the due date of the invoice.
Kamux is committed to being an honest and reliable business partner to its suppliers and to maintaining good and open relationships with its subcontractors and service providers. Kamux expects the same from its suppliers. In its Guideline for purchasing cars, goods and services, Kamux reserves itself the right to ask the supplier information on how the supplier is adhering to the Guideline. Kamux does not have separate social or environmental criteria for the selection of supply-side contractual partners.
Kamux takes the prevention and detection of corruption and bribery very seriously. Kamux's previous Code of Conduct, titled Kamux's Way of Doing Business, as well as its current Code of Conduct (renewed during 2024), explicitly prohibit any kind of corruption and bribery. To ensure that all employees are aware of and understand Kamux's strict approach to corruption and bribery, all new employees participate in compulsory training on Kamux's Way of Doing Business upon starting at Kamux. As of 2025, the training was updated according to the renewed Code of Conduct, and going forward the training is mandatory to all employees annually.
Kamux does not have separate training related to anticorruption and bribery, but all employees are trained on Kamux's Code of Conduct (previously Kamux's Way of Doing Business), which explicitly prohibits any kind of corruption and bribery.
The CEO, supported by the Group Management Team, is responsible for ensuring that the Group operates in accordance with the agreed principles, follows laws and regulations, and
reacts to identified exceptions and takes adequate corrective actions. Any possible outcomes are reported to the Board of Directors without delay, although there is no specific process defined. Kamux does not have a separate internal audit function, but internal audits are regularly carried out by external partners and governed and guided by the Board of Directors of Kamux Corporation. Such partners are independent and separate from the chain of management.
The Group's information systems, particularly the Kamux Management System, KMS, has built-in internal control mechanisms and approvals in order to prevent any wrongdoing.
There were no convictions or fines for violation of anticorruption and anti- bribery laws in 2024.

It is Kamux's practice to pay invoices on their due date. Kamux's payment terms according to Kamux's general practice are between 0-90 days. Approximately 46% of the invoices are paid accordingly. In 2024, the average payment time was approximately 24 days from receipt of invoice. The average is calculated based on all invoices paid during Q4/2024. The company's payment practices have not changed during 2024. Kamux pays invoices every working day during the year.
Kamux does not have any outstanding or ongoing legal proceedings related to late payments.

According to the Corporate Governance Code, a majority of the Board members shall be independent of the company. At least two of these members shall also be independent of the major shareholders of the company.
The Board of Directors shall assess annually the independence of its members in relation to the company and its major shareholders.
In 2024, members of Kamux's Board of Directors, appointed in the Annual General Meeting on April 18, 2024, were assessed to be independent of the company and its major shareholders with the exception of Juha Kalliokoski, who is deemed to be dependent of both the company and its major shareholders.
The Board of Directors conducts a self-evaluation of its operations and working methods at least once a year. The annual self-evaluation examines the Board members' assessments of and opinions on, for example, the matters processed by the Board, the composition and working methods of the Board as well as various factors related to the company and its development. When the self-evaluation surveys are completed, the results are reviewed by the Board of Directors and the Shareholders' Nomination Board. The self-evaluation is continuously improved. In 2024, the Board's work was developed based on the previous year's self-assessment.
Kamux's Board of Directors has adopted a diversity policy. The Shareholders' Nomination Board is responsible for maintaining the diversity policy. The Shareholders' Nomination Board examines the policy at the beginning of its term and proposes any changes it deems necessary to the Board of Directors. The policy was updated in late 2024.
According to the policy, when selecting Board members, the aim is to ensure that their skills and experience in different business areas complement each other and cover the company's key functions and strategy. In addition, the aim is to ensure the effectiveness and continuity of the Board's work, as well as active discussion and decision-making capacity.
To ensure board diversity, the following points in particular should be taken into account:
| Terho Kalliokoski | 95,315 |
|---|---|
| Harri Sivula | 47,463 |
| Juha Kalliokoski | 5,951,112* |
| Maren Kroll | 2,135 |
| Antti Mäkelä | 39,389 |
| Kati Riikonen | 2,135 |
| Jaana Viertola-Truini | 5,914 |
* Shares are owned by Juha Kalliokoski and by an investment company, which is controlled by closely associated persons to Juha Kalliokoski


Age balance: The aim is to ensure an age balance on the board to take advantage of the different expertise and perspectives of members of different ages.
Continuity: The Board aims to ensure continuity of experience with the company and regular renewal of the Board. - Independence: The diversity of the Board also takes into account the balance between independent and non-independent members.
The diversity goals defined in Kamux's diversity policy are evaluated to be adequately realized in 2024. The members of the Board of Directors have a diverse educational background and competence profile that support the implementation of Kamux's strategy. Three of the Board members are women and four are men. Six members of the Board are Finnish citizens, and one is a German citizen. On December 31, 2024, the members were between 45 and 63 years of age. More details on the diversity of the Board of Directors is presented in the Sustainability Statement on page 29.
The Board of Directors appoints an Audit Committee to assist it in the performance of its supervisory duties. The Board appoints from its members at least three members to the Committee. Members of the Audit Committee must have qualifications required for the task. Members of the Audit Committee shall be independent of the company, with at least one member also being independent of the major shareholders of the company.
The Board has defined the duties of the Audit Committee in its adopted rules of procedure, which shall be reviewed annually and updated if needed. In 2024, the rules of procedure were updated in terms of duties related to the verification of sustainability reporting and language versions of the meeting minutes.
In accordance with the rules of procedure, the role of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board of Directors in ensuring that
the company's accounting and financial control is properly organized, that sustainability reporting is verified and that the company has a comprehensive and adequate internal control system covering all its activities. The committee is also responsible for monitoring that the company's operations and internal controls are organized in accordance with the law, regulations and good corporate governance, and for supervising the activities of the internal audit function. In addition, the Companies Act, the Audit Act and the EU Audit Regulation contain a number of mandatory tasks for which the Audit Committee is primarily responsible and sets certain requirements.
The Chairperson of the Audit Committee shall convene the Committee at least four times a year. The Audit Committee reports the decisions made in its meetings regularly to the Board.
During January 1-April 18, 2024, the Audit Committee comprised Harri Sivula (Chairperson), Juha Kalliokoski and Jaana Viertola-Truini. In its constitutive meeting convening immediately after the Annual General Meeting on April 18, 2024, Kamux's Board of Directors decided to reappoint Harri Sivula (Chairperson), Juha Kalliokoski and Jaana Viertola-Truini as members of the Audit Committee.
After the establishment and organization of the Audit Committee, its work in 2024 focused on monitoring the company's finances, developing the forecasting process and preparing for the adoption of sustainability reporting. The Audit Committee has also overseen the sustainability reporting and assurance process. The Audit Committee convened eight times in 2024.
Information about the attendance of the Audit Committee members in meetings is shown in the table on page 61.
The primary duty of the Personnel and Remuneration Committee is to prepare matters related to the remuneration and appointment of the CEO and other members of the Management Team as well as the remuneration principles followed by the company. The work of the Committee focuses on the development of the remuneration systems and the remuneration principles followed by the company and on the advancement of the transparency and organization of the company's remuneration. The Committee's other focus area is to concentrate on the development of the company's entire intellectual capital and the organization's capability as well as on succession planning for key employees. The Committee's duties also include preparing the remuneration policy and remuneration report of the company's bodies as well as presenting them to the General Meeting. The Committee also handles other duties related to, among others, the assessment of the company's personnel policy and practices.
The Board of Directors annually decides on the establishment of the Personnel and Remuneration Committee and selects from its members at least three members to the Committee. The majority of the Committee members must be independent of the company, with most of the members also being independent of the company's significant shareholders.
The CEO or other members of the company's management cannot be members of the Committee. The Remuneration Committee acts independently in relation to the company's top management.
The Chairperson of the Personnel and Remuneration Committee shall convene the Committee at least three times a year. The Personnel and Remuneration Committee reports on the measures decided on in its meetings regularly to the Board.
During January 1-April 18, 2024, the members of the Personnel and Remuneration Committee were Reija Laaksonen (Chairperson), Juha Kalliokoski and Antti Mäkelä. In its constitutive meeting convened immediately after the Annual General Meeting on April 18, 2024, the Board decided to appoint Maren Kroll (Chairperson), Juha Kalliokoski and Antti Mäkelä as members of the Personnel and Remuneration Committee.
After the establishment and organization of the Personnel and Remuneration Committee, its work in 2024 focused especially on the development of Kamux's long-term incentive schemes. The Personnel and Remuneration Committee convened eight times in 2024. In 2024, the rules of procedure were updated in terms of language versions of the meeting minutes.
The purpose of the Shareholders' Nomination Board is to annually prepare and present to the Annual General Meeting, and to Extraordinary General Meetings when necessary, proposals for the composition of the Board of Directors (the number of members and the persons) and for remuneration in accordance with the Remuneration Policy for the Governing Bodies. In addition, the Nomination Board's duty is to look for successor candidates for Board members and to prepare the principles of the Board of Directors regarding diversity.

Matias Arola, representing the funds managed by Danske Invest
Terho Kalliokoski, Chairperson of Kamux Corporation's Board of Directors.
The Nomination Board gave its proposals for the Annual General Meeting 2025 to the company's Board of Directors on November 7, 2024.
Following the appointment of Juha Kalliokoski as Kamux's Chief Operating Officer (COO) and member of the Group Management Team as of March 1, 2025, Juha Kalliokoski and Callardo Capital appointed Pekka Pajamo, Senior Vice-President, Finance and Internal Services of Varma Mutual Pension Insurance Company, as their representative on the Shareholders' Nomination Board as of March 10, 2025.

On March 1, 2024, the Board of Directors of Kamux Corporation decided to approve a new long-term incentive Plan for the Group's key persons for 2024-2026 (the "Plan"). The objective of the Plan was to encourage and commit the Group's key persons to implement the strategy and increase shareholder returns on a long-term basis, as well as to align the objectives of the company's shareholders and key employees in order to increase the value of the company.
The Plan commenced at the beginning of 2024, and it was divided into three one-year performance periods. For the 2024 performance period, the payment of the potential reward from the Plan was based on exceeding the company's operating profit threshold set by the Board of Directors, as well as on the development of earnings per share (ESP) and total shareholder return (TSR) and exceeding a certain ESG target indicator on an annual basis. The potential reward was to be paid primarily in Kamux's shares or cash or a combination thereof for the Finnish and German key employees by the end of April following the end of each performance period, and for the Swedish key employees by the end of April following the end of a separate two-year waiting period commencing from the confirmation of the reward.
The Board of Directors selected 38 key persons, including the CEO, to participate in the Plan. In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Board of Directors could decide during the performance period on the admission of new participants to the Plan. If a participant's employment or service ends before the reward payment, the reward would not, as a general rule, be paid.
If the maximum targets set for the performance criteria of the performance period 2024 were reached, the total amount of rewards to be paid based on the Plan for the performance period 2024 would have been approximately EUR 2.5 million (gross), corresponding to an estimated maximum of approximately 456,000 Kamux shares, when the value was calculated based on the volume-weighted average share price of Kamux's share in January 2024.
The net shares issued as reward for the Finnish and German participants would have been subject to a transfer restriction during the commitment period. The commitment period begins from the payment of the reward and ends for the first performance period no later than April 30, 2027. In addition, members of the Group Management Team were to own half of the net shares received as reward based on the Plan until his/ her total shareholding in the company corresponds to the value of his/her annual salary. This number of shares was to be held for as long as the participant continues to be a member of the Group Management Team.
In March 2025, Kamux's Board of Directors terminated the Share-based Incentive Plan 2024-2026 and replaced it with the Performance Matching Share Plan 2025-2029.
On January 22, 2024, the Board of Directors of Kamux Corporation resolved to establish a matching share plan for the recognized rising key employees of the Group. The plan is titled Green Lions, and it is established for key employees who are not included in Kamux's other share-based incentive plans. The purpose of the Green Lions Plan is to retain the future key employees at the company and to offer them a competitive incentive plan that is based on acquiring and accumulating Kamux shares as well as to encourage them to personally invest in the company's shares. The Green Lions Plan also aims to align the interests of the shareholders and the key employees to increase the value of the company in the long term.
The Green Lions Plan 2024-2029 includes four (4) matching periods, covering years 2024-2026, 2025-2027, 2026-2028 and 2027-2029. The prerequisite for participation in the plan and receiving a reward is that a participant personally has acquired Kamux shares within the limits set by the Board of Directors. Furthermore, payment of the reward is based on the participant's valid employment contract upon reward payment.
The Board of Directors will resolve annually on the commencement and details of a matching period. The potential rewards from the plan will be paid after the end of each matching period.
The target group of the first matching period of January 1, 2024-December 31, 2026 consists of approximately 70 recognized future key employees, who are not included in Kamux's other share-based incentive plans. Members of the Management Team are not included in the target group. As a reward for the commitment, Kamux grants the participants a gross reward of one matching share for every share committed to the plan. The rewards to be paid on the basis of the plan correspond to the value of an approximate maximum total of 270,000 Kamux Corporation shares (estimated using the closing share price of 5.23 euros on January 17, 2024), including also the proportion to be paid in cash. The final number of shares will depend on the number of shares the participants commit to the plan.
The rewards from the first matching period will be paid by the end of March 2027. The rewards will be paid partly in company shares and partly in cash. The cash proportion is intended
to cover taxes and social security contributions arising from the reward to the participant. As a rule, no reward will be paid if a participant's employment terminates before the reward payment.
Note 5.3 of the consolidated financial statements contains more information on share-based incentive plans.
The principles of the remuneration of Kamux's CEO, the rest of the Management Team and the Board of Directors have been described in more detail on the company's website at kamux. com > Governance > Remuneration.

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 financial statements standards. 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 financial statements standards or as substitutes for corresponding measures under IFRS financial statements standards.

Kamux is a retail chain specialized in used cars and related integrated services. The first Kamux car showroom was opened in 2003 in Finland. At the end of 2024, Kamux had a total of 69 showrooms: 44 in Finland, 17 in Sweden and 8 in Germany. In addition, Kamux served its customers online in Finnish, Swedish and German. Since its founding, Kamux has sold almost 600,000 used cars.
Juha Kalliokoski founded Kamux in 2003 in Hämeenlinna, where Kamux's head office is still located. In 2010, Kamux had grown into a chain of 14 showrooms and started systematically offering integrated services to its customers. In 2011, the Finnish company KMX Holding Oy (now Kamux Corporation), founded by private equity firm Intera Partners, acquired control of Kamux with the existing management staying as company shareholders. With the inclusion of Intera, Kamux gained more resources and know-how to expand its business in Finland and abroad. At the end of 2012, Kamux expanded to Sweden and in December 2015 to Germany.
In 2017, Kamux was listed on Nasdaq Helsinki, gaining more than 1,200 new shareholders in the IPO. Intera Fund II Ky remained the company's largest shareholder. In September 2020, Intera Fund II Ky completely divested from Kamux after having already reduced its holdings earlier. In fall 2022, Juha Kalliokoski decided to resign as the company's CEO, and Tapio Pajuharju was appointed as the new CEO of Kamux. Pajuharju assumed his position on June 1, 2023.
On December 31, 2024, the company had a total of 20,677 shareholders. Kamux's founder Juha Kalliokoski is the company's largest shareholder when both Kalliokoski's direct holdings as well as shares owned by an investment company controlled by closely associated persons to Kalliokoski are added together.
Kamux's business is based on a combination of car showrooms and online presence, professional procurement of used cars, low fixed costs, fast inventory turnover and the sale of integrated services. Kamux's business model enables the sale of cars at an affordable price. Kamux strives to continuously develop its operations in such a way that the services it offers best meet the changing needs of customers. Kamux offers its customers third-party financing products in all of its showrooms in Finland, Sweden and Germany. In addition, Kamux offers third-party insurance products as well as its own liability extension product, Kamux Plus, for unexpected car repair costs in Finland and Sweden. A key component of Kamux's customer service concept is the home delivery service, where the car is delivered to the place agreed with the customer and at the same time a possible trade-in car is picked up, when necessary. Digital channels play a key role in the customer's purchase process, as the purchase of a car typically starts online. Kamux also serves its customers via chat.
Kamux acquires used cars from car auctions, leasing companies, other car dealers, finance companies, importers, private individuals and other sources. The majority of the used cars sold by Kamux are acquired from its customers as trade-in cars. Kamux has a separate purchasing organization, which is responsible for car purchases from, for example, car auctions and partly also for consumer purchases. Kamux strives to align its own and its employees' interests through its incentive scheme. The sales personnel's incentive scheme takes into account sales, car purchases and trade-in cars, as well as sales of integrated services when determining the remuneration.
Kamux's entire range of cars is available for sale by all of its sellers and showrooms, and if necessary, Kamux will transfer the car from one showroom or country to another once the sale is agreed upon.

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. These have been identified as separate performance obligations. Sales are based on the network of physical showrooms and efficient online showrooms in Kamux's websites in these countries. Kamux offers also a home delivery service, in which Kamux delivers the car to the place agreed with the client. To the car delivered to the customer's home and to other distance sales return rights according to the legislation of each country are applied. Kamux also sells used cars in auctions.
Kamux offers its customers financing and insurance products provided by third parties in connection with the sale of the used car. The credit and insurance risks for these products are borne by finance and insurance companies. Kamux is entitled to financing fees and insurance commissions from its sales of these products. Parts of the fees are contingent on the continuation of the agreement between the finance company and the client.
In addition, Kamux offers its customers a Kamux Plus product, which extends the seller's statutory liability for defects. Customers can choose between several options of Kamux Plus products. Depending of the option chosen, Kamux repairs predefined car defects that are detected within 12 or 24 months of the purchase of a car or until 20,000 or 40,000 driven kilometers, depending on which threshold is reached first. Kamux Plus is part of the car sales contract and it will therefore be taken into account when determining the sales price of a car.

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. To the car delivered to the customer's home and to other distance sales return rights according to the legislation of each country are applied. 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, value added taxes, marginal taxes and car 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. Insurance commissions are paid mainly during the month following the rendering of the service.
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 receive the payment from the financing company. Financing fees are paid during the maturity of each financing agreement signed with the customer in accordance with the agreement with the financing company.
The Kamux Plus product is recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the 12 or 24 months warranty period. Kamux Plus product provides the customer with a customer liability extension in connection with a used car sale.
Kamux's customer service and customer satisfaction strategy is 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 and Germany a car dealer has a liability to repair undisclosed defects that become apparent within one year after the purchase of the car (unless Kamux can prove that the defects arose subsequent to the sale). After one year, the burden of proof is transferred from Kamux to the customer. In Sweden the repair liability is two years after the purchase of the car.
In addition to the statutory repair liability, Kamux offers its customers the Kamux Plus products, which extends the seller's liability for defects. Depending on the Kamux Plus
product option, Kamux repairs predefined defects that are detected within 12 or 24 months following the purchase of the car or within 20,000 or 40,000 driving kilometers, whichever comes first.
Repair liability provision amounted to EUR 2.1 million as at December 31, 2024 and EUR 3.4 million as at December 31, 2023. The repair liability provision is expected to be used in the following 12 months. Repair and maintenance costs amounted to EUR 30.0 million during the financial year 2024, and to EUR 24.7 million during the financial year 2023. 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.

Kamux purchases most of its used cars as trade-in cars. Kamux also acquires cars from private individuals, car auctions, leasing companies, finance companies, other car dealers, importers and other sources. Materials and services include the cost to acquire used cars and the reconditioning and transportation costs associated with preparing cars for sale. It also includes repair costs associated with repair liability and change in inventories.
Kamux's average number of full-time equivalent employees was 904 during the financial period 2024 and 885 in 2023. Employee remuneration is based on fixed and variable salary. The proportionate share of the variable compensation is significant and is based on the achievement of individually determined sales targets. In addition, some employees have car allowance, telephone allowance and internet access at home.
Kamux's pension arrangements are classified as defined contribution plans. The Finnish statutory pension plan under TyEL is arranged through insurance companies and provides pension benefits based on the years of employment and earnings. The retirement age of the old-age pension under TyEL is 63-70 years. Employees in Sweden and Germany belong to defined contribution plans. For the employees in Sweden, an additional pension plan, classified as a defined contribution plan, is in use. In Sweden, retirement age is 63-69 years, and in Germany 65-67 years.
In defined contribution plans, insurance contributions are paid to insurance companies and recognized as an expense in the financial period the charge relates to. There are no other payment obligations in the defined contributions plans.
Employee benefit expenses in 2024 include EUR 0.3 million and in 2023 EUR 0.1 million costs accrual related to the share-based incentive scheme.
Premises costs consist of premises related costs such as heating, cleaning and electricity, as well as those rental payments for showrooms and office space that are not in the scope of IFRS 16.

In the financial year 2024, the Group has decided to write down in full the deferred tax assets recognised in previous financial years from the losses of its Swedish subsidiary, based on an overall assessment of the situation of the Swedish subsidiary. Deferred tax assets arising from IFRS 16 accounting for temporary differences in leased premises in Germany have been recognised, as in Sweden. During the financial year 2024, the Group's parent company has made a transfer pricing adjustment to certain foreign subsidiaries, the effect of which is eliminated at the group level, but which has an impact on the income taxes of individual group companies. There are significant differences between the Group's different companies' taxable results and financial situation, and as a result, the Group's total tax position is subject to various risks, although the company has tried to assess the situation on the basis of the best available information.
The Kamux Group has several subsidiaries in different countries and there are intra-group transactions related to the sale of second-hand cars and business support services between them. There are significant differences in the profitability of the different legal companies of the Kamux Group. The Group has also recently made changes in the structure, responsibilities and organisation of its business, with the aim of making better use of the Group's internationality and size. In connection with business changes, transfer pricing has also undergone changes in the financial year 2024, for which there has also been an open prior dialogue with the authorities and the help of external experts has been utilised, but still, the Group's direct and indirect taxes are subject to different uncertainties in each operating country, as a result of which there is a risk that the final taxes to be paid may differ from the estimates. However, the Group has, on a prudent basis, decided not to recognise tax assets in respect of loss-making subsidiaries. In addition, at group level, the net risk of possible tax changes is reduced, because a tax change in one country would likely cause an opposite change in the taxation of another country, although it may require
Income taxes for the period include current and deferred taxes. Current income tax is the tax to be paid or received with respects to the current financial year, with the application of tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Current income taxes are calculated on the basis of the tax regulations prevailing in the countries in which Kamux operates and generate taxable income. Current tax also includes adjustments for current income tax attributable to earlier periods.
Deferred taxes are recognized on temporary differences that arise between the taxable value and carrying value of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that they will be utilized against taxable income.
In the consolidated financial statements, deferred tax assets recorded on losses from Swedish subsidiaries have been written down in accordance with the prudence principle in 2024. Since some of the Group's companies have significant taxable losses, while others are generating profits, there are potential tax risks related to the Group's overall tax rate, which may arise from the tax assessments of each relevant tax authority.
Pillar II is the OECD's initiative to address tax challenges related to the digitalisation of the global economy by introducing Global Anti-Base Erosion (GloBE) rules and a related 15% global minimum tax. The European Union's Council Directive (EU) 2022/2523 entered into force in December 2022, according to which the EU Member States shall transpose the GloBE rules into their domestic law by 31 December 2023. In Finland, the Globe rules will be applied for the first time to financial years starting on or after December 31, 2023.
According to the IASB's published amendments to IAS 12, Kamux has applied the exception provided in IAS 12 paragraph 4A and has neither recognised nor disclosed information about deferred tax assets or liabilities related to Pillar II income taxes.
Based on the impact analysis performed, income taxes calculated based on Pillar II are not expected to have a material impact on the income taxes of the Group.

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 ITsystems are utilized to achieve an optimal balance between cars in inventory and quick inventory turnover.
Inventories amounted to EUR 131.0 million on December 31, 2024. On December 31, 2023 inventories amounted to EUR 117.2 million.
Revaluations of inventories to net realizable value amounted to EUR -0.4 million during 2024. In 2023 net realizable value amounted to EUR 0.3 million which had a positive impact to result. 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 on average during the period divided by "Materials and services" expense item during the reporting period, multiplied by 365.
Inventory is measured at lower of cost or 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 recognized, 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, 2024.
Impairment losses of trade receivables recognized in profit or loss amounted to EUR 0.1 million during the year 2024. In 2023 impairment losses of trade receivables were EUR 0.1 million.
Other receivables comprise mainly from receivables related to value added taxes.
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 noncurrent borrowings and lease liabilities" in the consolidated balance sheet) less cash and cash equivalents.
Cash and cash equivalents consist mainly of cash, demand deposits and other short-term highly liquid investments.

Kamux signed a EUR 50 million secured long-term financing agreement with Nordea Bank Abp in December 2024. The agreement replaced a five-year financing arrangement maturing in the spring of 2025. The new financing arrangement has a 36-month maturity and includes 12 or 24-month extension options. The financing package consists of a EUR 20 million term loan and a EUR 30 million revolving credit facility ("RCF").
Following the completion of the Oulu showroom and processing center, a ten-year term loan of EUR 5.0 million was drawn for the property in March 2022.
In December 31, 2024, Kamux Group's borrowings comprised of above mentioned term loans, of which EUR 26.0 million (EUR 15.5 million as of December 31, 2023) was in use. The term loan is currently repaid in semi-annual installments of EUR 1.2 million. Some fo these loans mature on December 17, 2027, but they include an extension option of up to 24 months,and some mature on March 17, 2032.
During the financial year 2024, as in 2023, Kamux Corporation utilized short-term credits and issued commercial papers to fund working capital needs related to seasonality of the business operations. On December 31, 2024 issued commercial papers EUR 8.0 million was in use.
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.

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, 2024, Kamux had cash and cash equivalents of EUR 3.0 million and as of December 31, 2023, EUR 8.9 million. In addition, Kamux had access to unused credit facilities and bank overdrafts of EUR 18.0 million as of December 31, 2024 and EUR 21.0 million as of December 31, 2023.

Loans from the financial institutions include the following financial covenants: net debt in proportion to adjusted EBITDA and equity as a portion of the balance sheet total. The interest margin is variable and depends on the ratio of net debt and adjusted EBITDA. In addition to these financial covenants, the group's interest margin is linked to two sustainability targets: the average CO2 emissions of sold passenger cars (g CO2/km) and the average Net Promoter Score (NPS). These criteria are part of the loan agreement's covenants, and their achievement can either positively or negatively affect the loan's interest margin. However, changes in the interest margin are not significant. According to the calculation methodology, the group's performance on sustainability metrics is measured at the end of each quarter until the end of the loan term.

In the maturity breakdown of financial liabilities, the loan due dates do not include the potential extension option.
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.
Weighted average interest rate of bank loans was 4.00% at the end of 2024.
Seasonality is an integral part of the business of Kamux Group, and therefore typically the highest revenue is reached in the second and third quarters of the year, which also causes fluctuations in working capital especially due to the change in inventory levels. Short-term debt financing is used for working capital funding via various sources of funds with differing maturities as well as terms and conditions. Therefore, the end of the financial year on 31 December does not fully reflect the average interest rate sensitivities during the financial year.
Based on the actual outstanding debt financing during 2024 and using the average of interest-bearing debt balances in beginning and at the end of the month, the Company has carried out interest rate sensitivity analysis post the period by taking into account the actual debt balances excluding leasing debt. Based on this, if the market interest rates would have consistently been 1.0 %-units higher (lower), while all the other parameters were kept unchanged, the 2024 profit before taxes would have been EUR 0.3 million lower (higher) than presented in the income statement. This sensitivity analysis is indicative only, as in most of the Group's debt financing the basis has been six months Euribor rate, which is fixed for that interest period. Moreover, when assessing the results of the sensitivity analysis it shall be taken into account that the Group receives interest income from its customers, and this income varies in relation to the underlying interest rates. In addition, in Group accounting the changes in interest rates affect via discounting or via incremental borrowing rate on certain balance sheet items, and hence potentially also change the profit and taxes of the period
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. On December 31, 2024 the Group did not have
any foreign exchange derivatives; however, during the financial year, the Group introduced an automatic spot foreign exchange trading mechanism to hedge against the foreign exchange risk arising from aforementioned 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 10.7 million as of December 31, 2024 and EUR 19.2 million as of December 31, 2023. In December 31, 2024 these balances were only partly hedged. If the foreign exchange risk would not have been hedged and if the weakening of the Swedish krona against euro had been 10 percent, the recalculated post-tax profit for the period had been EUR 0.7 million in 2024 (EUR 1.0 million in 2023) lower based on the sensitivity analysis. If the foreign exchange risk would not have been hedged and if the strengthening of the Swedish krona against euro had been 10 percent, the recalculated post-tax profit for the period had been EUR 1.0 million in 2024 (EUR 2.3 million in 2023) higher 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.

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.

This acquisition resulted in goodwill of EUR 0.3 million. Goodwill, excluding the acquisition of Webcars Logistics AB, is entirely allocated to the Finnish operating segment, which is profitable.
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 8.8% (2023: 9.1%). 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. In 2024 the impairment test did not indicate a need for an impairment. The headroom indicated by the impairment test between the carrying amount of the assets tested and the discounted cashflows was EUR 229 million in 2024 (2023: EUR 346 million).
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 2024 and 2023 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. The headroom indicated by the sensitivity analysis between the carrying amount of the assets tested and the discounted cashflows was at its lowest EUR 10 million in 2024 (2023: EUR 80 million) in a situation, where all the parameters would have realized at the same time.
Kamux has capitalized development costs and intangible rights related to IT systems as other intangible assets.
In 2023-2024, Kamux invested in new financial management ERP and accounts payable systems in all of its operating countries. Since the financial management systems were implemented in a SaaS format, the expenses related to their implementation are primarily recorded as an expense in the income statement. During the 2024 financial year, Kamux acquired the entire share capital of Webcars Logistics AB, resulting in a total increase of EUR 0.2 million in other intangible assets during 2024, based on the acquired company's brand value and expertise.
The intangible assets under IAS 38 arising during the development phase of the software and controlled by Kamux, are capitalized into the balance sheet.
The advance payments for intangible assets comprise of development costs of IT systems before the implementation of the systems.
The Group does not have intangible assets with indefinite useful lives except for goodwill.
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 straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of 3-5 years. The amortization is recognized into profit or loss in accordance with the amortization plan.
Accounting treatment for the Cloud Computing Arrangements is depending on whether the cloud based software is classified as an intangible asset or a service agreement. The management makes judgment in assessing if any intangible assets under IAS 38 and controlled by Kamux is arising in the development phase of the arrangement.
Those arrangements, where Kamux has no control over the software, are accounted as service agreements which give Kamux during the agreement period a right to use the application software controlled by the supplier. As a basis the continuous payments for right to use the software and the configuration and customization costs relating to the software are recognized into the other operating expenses at the time the service is received. Kamux assessesd if the services relating to the configuration and customization are separately identifiable from the software as a service.
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 mainly 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".

Property, plant and equipment comprise of right-of-use-assets of leasing agreements on showrooms, capitalized renovation as well as modernization expenses, office furniture, machinery and equipment and car showroom building in Nedderfeld, Germany, and in Oulu, Finland.
Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straightline basis over the estimated useful lives, which are:
15 years for the showroom building in Germany
20 years for the building owned by Koy Autoportinkaarre, 10 years for the technical equipment of that building, 20 years for the other tangible assets (as layering asphalt over the parking area), 10 years for other tangible assets (as branding) and 5 years for equipment
3-5 years for the machinery and equipment as well as for the other tangible assets owned by other group companies
The depreciations are recognized into profit or loss in accordance with the depreciation plan.
The Group does not capitalize borrowing costs and there are no tangible assets pledged as security for liabilities.
The useful life for the land areas is indefinite, thus land areas are not depreciated.

Kamux applies 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".
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 for the time being 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 rightof-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 shortterm 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. Short-term 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. Low-value leases in Kamux Group are for example leases of parking areas nearby the showrooms, short-term leases are for example 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 and 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 cannot 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 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 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-of-use asset in a similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions of agreement.

In the financial year 2024 the employee benefit expenses included EUR 0.3 million and in 2023 EUR 0.1 million costs accrual related to the share-based incentive plan. The key terms and conditions for the earnings periods are described in the table below.
In February 2024 the Board of Directors of Kamux Corporation approved a new long-term share-based incentive plan for the Group's key personnel, including the CEO, for the years 2024- 2026. The incentive plan began at the start of 2024 and is divided into three one-year earning periods.
Any rewards paid from the plan will be based on achieving the operating profit, earnings per share (EPS), total shareholder return (TSR) and a specific ESG targets on annual basis. Any rewards will be paid in Kamux shares, in cash or as a combination of both at the end of April following the completion of each performance period for Finnish and German key employees. For Swedish key employees, the reward will be paid by the end of April following a two-year waiting period after the reward has been determined. No reward was paid for the 2024 performance period since the vesting conditions were not met.
For Finnish and German participants, net shares granted as a reward will be subject to a transfer restriction during the retention period. The retention period begins when the reward is paid and ends no later than 30 April, 2027 for the first performance period.
The entire plan is accounted for as an equity-settled payment with net settlement features. The fair value of the plan was determined on the grant date. The fair value of the plan is expensed during the three years until the end of the commitment period April 2027.
In June 21, 2023 Kamux announced that the Board of Directors of Kamux Corporation has approved a long-term share based incentive plan for the Group's CEO, Tapio Pajuharju, for the years 2023-2026. At the beginning of the 2024 fiscal year, the Board decided that the previously mentioned long-term share-based incentive plan for the CEO would be terminated as of January 1, 2024, and that CEO Tapio Pajuharju would participate in the company's new share-based incentive plan for the years 2024-2026 starting from January 1, 2024. No reward will be paid for the 1.1.-31.12.2024 performance period, as the conditions for eligibility were not met.
In January 2024 Kamux announced that the Board of Directors of Kamux Corporation has approved a new matching share plan for the recognized rising key employees of the Group. The plan title is Green Lions, and it is established for key employees who are not included in Kamux's other share-based incentive plans. Members of the Management Team are not included in the target group.
The Green Lions Plan 2024-2029 includes four (4) matching periods, covering years 2024-2026, 2025-2027, 2026-2028 and 2027-2029. The prerequisite for participation in the plan and receiving a reward is that a participant personally has acquired Kamux shares within the limits set by the Board of Directors. Furthermore, payment of the reward is based on the participant's valid employment contract upon reward payment.
The Board of Directors will resolve annually on the commencement and details of a matching period. The potential rewards from the plan will be paid after the end of each matching period.
The first matching period of the Green Lions program runs from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026. As a reward for the commitment, Kamux grants the participants a gross reward of one matching share for every share committed to the plan. Rewards for the first retention period will be paid by the end of March 2027.
The entire plan is accounted for as an equity-settled payment with net settlement features. The fair value of the plan was determined on the grant date. The fair value of the plan is expensed during the three years until the end of the commitment period March 2027.
In February 2021 the Board of Directors of Kamux Corporation decided to approve the new long-term share-based incentive plan for the Group's key personnel for years 2021-2023. The plan was divided into three one-year earning periods, the first of which began at the beginning of the year 2021. Any rewards paid from the plan were based on achieving the revenue target and the adjusted EBIT target set by the Board of Directors. In addition, the plan included an additional component based on the market value of the Company. Based on the additional component, if the criteria were met, additional shares would be distributed in spring 2024 after the end of the 2023 earnings period.
No rewards were paid from the earnings period 2023 (LTI2023) or 2022 (LTI2022) since the vesting conditions were not met. Any rewards resulting from the earnings period 2021 (LTI2021) were paid in shares and/or in cash during spring 2022.
The net shares paid as a reward were subject to a transfer restriction during the commitment period. The commitment period began when the reward was paid and ended on 30 April, 2024.
The entire plan was accounted for as an equity-settled payment with net settlement features. The fair value of the plan was determined on the grant date. The fair value of the plan was expensed during the three years until the end of the commitment period April 2024.

| Changes in the share-based incentives during the period | 2024 | 2023 |
|---|---|---|
| January, 1 outstanding | 343,107 | 154,379 |
| Earned during the period | -37,116 | 298,854 |
| Vested during the period | 548,630 | 0 |

Kamux's share-based incentive plans are considered as equity-settled payments, and the compensation costs are recognized based on the number of gross shares awarded. Any rewards resulting from the plans 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 equitysettled without the net settlement feature.
The earnings period for the yearly plans granted under the incentive scheme is a calendar year, followed by a two-year commitment period for the plan 2024. For the plans 2024-2026 the commitment period ends in spring 2027. 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 until the end of the commitment period. The accrued expense is annually adjusted to correspond the actual amount of granted shares. The effect of the plans in profit or loss is presented in personnel expenses and the corresponding increase is presented in the equity.
Movements in the number of outstanding shares, treasury shares and total registered shares during the financial periods were as follows:
| Number of shares, 1 000 pcs | Shares outstanding | Treasury shares | Total shares | Treasury shares EUR million |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| January 1, 2023 | 40,013 | 4 | 40,017 | - |
| Return of share-based payments | -3 | 3 | - | - |
| December 31, 2023 | 40,010 | 7 | 40,017 | - |

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 2024, the Board of Directors proposes a dividend of maximum EUR 2.8 million calculated for the outstanding shares at 31 December, 2024 (maximum EUR 0.07per share). The Company paid a dividend of EUR 6.8 million for the financial year 2023 (EUR 0.17 per share) in spring and autumn 2024 in two instalments.
The Board proposes that the dividend will be paid in a single installment in the fall of 2025. In addition, the Board proposes that it be authorized to decide on the final amount of the dividend, as well as the relevant record and payment dates.
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 80 000.
In 2024 a total of 2,092 shares were returned to the Company without consideration due to the termination of employment of persons covered by the plan. During March-April 2024, the Company purchased a total of 135,000 of its own shares from the market. At the end of the financial year, the Company held 144,053 treasury shares, representing 0.36% of all shares.
In 2023 a total of 2,923 shares were returned to the Company without consideration due to the termination of employment of persons covered by the plan. At the end of the financial year, the Company held 6,961 treasury shares, representing 0.02% of all shares.

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 3.9 million as of December 31, 2024 (EUR 9.9 million as of December 2023) and in Germany EUR 21.4 million as of December 31, 2024 (EUR 22.5 million as of December 31, 2023). No deferred tax asset has been recognized for the unused tax losses carried forwards for an amount of in Germany and for an amount of in Sweden due to the operating losses. Unused tax losses in Sweden and in Germany will not expire under the current tax regulations.
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 tax 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.
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 arisen. 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.

On January 23, 2025, Kamux announced that the Board of Directors of Kamux Corporation had resolved to establish a performance matching share plan for the key employees of the Group. The performance matching share plan 2025- 2029 includes three performance periods, covering the financial years 2025-2027, 2026-2028 and 2027-2029. The prerequisite for participation in the plan and receiving the reward is an allocation of freely transferable Kamux's shares held by the key employee to the plan or that the key employee acquires Kamux's shares in a number determined by the Board. Furthermore, payment of the reward is based on the participant's valid employment contract upon reward payment. The performance criteria of the first performance period are Total Shareholder Return, Earnings per Share and an ESG criterion. The target group of the first performance period 2025-2027 consists of approximately 40 key employees, including the members of the Management Team and the CEO. The value of the rewards to be paid on the basis of the first performance period corresponds to an approximate maximum total of 980,000 shares of Kamux (estimated using the closing share price of January 15, 2025 2.72 euros), including also the proportion to be paid in cash. The potential rewards from the plan will be paid within five months from the end of each performance period. The Board of Directors also resolved on the commencement and details of the second matching period of the Green Lions matching share plan, which was established on January 22, 2024, for the recognized rising key employees of the Group. The second matching period covers the financial years 2025-2027.
From 1 January 2024, Kamux has applied the following new standards and amendments:
Amendents to IAS 1, Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current: Clarify the classification of the classification of a liability as current or non-current in situations where an entity has a right to defer its settlement for at least twelve months. According to the amended guidance, a liability that is due within 12 months after the reporting date can be presented as non-current if the entity has the right to extend the settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting date. In such case, the liability is classified as non-current as of the reporting date, regardless of the probability or management's intention to settle it within the next 12 months. Similarly, a liability is classified as non-current even if the right to extend it for at least 12 months is conditional, and the entity is not expected to meet these conditions, provided that the covenant assessment takes place only after the end of the reporting period.
Amendments to IAS 12, International Tax Reform-Pillar II Model Rules: Pillar II is the OECD's initiative to address tax challenges related to the digitalisation of the global economy by introducing Global Anti-Base Erosion (GloBE) rules and a related 15% global minimum tax. The European Union's Council Directive (EU) 2022/2523 entered into force in December 2022, according to which the EU Member States shall transpose the GloBE rules into their domestic law by 31 December 2023. According to the IASB's published amendments to IAS 12, Kamux has applied the exception provided in IAS 12 paragraph 4A and has neither recognised nor disclosed information about deferred tax assets or liabilities related to Pillar II income taxes. Based on the GloBe analysis performed, income taxes concerning Pillar II are not expected to have a material impact on the income taxes of the group.
Other changes of the IFRS standards and interpretations effective for periods after January 1, 2024 had no material impact on the consolidated financial statements or they were not applicable to the Group.
Kamux has not yet applied the following new and revised standards and interpretations already issued but will be effective on financial years beginning on or after January 1, 2024. 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.
Amendents to IFRS 18, Presentation and disclosure in financial statements: The standard introduces a standardized structure for the statement of profit and loss, and certain improvements to the statement of cash flows. The standard also provides additional guidance on aggregation and disaggregation of data in financial statements and introduces disclosure requirements related to management-defined performance measures. The standard is becoming effective on 1 January 2027 and will change the presentation of company x financial statements.
In accordance with the management's estimation the other published new standards or amendments will not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements or they will not be applicable to the Group.

* During the financial year 2024, the administrative services presented above also include transfer pricing adjustments to Group companies in Sweden and Germany, which is why the cost of the administrative services is significantly higher than in the previous financial year. During the financial year 2024, the Group's parent company has made a transfer pricing adjustment to certain foreign subsidiaries, the effect of which is eliminated at the group level, but which has an impact on the income taxes of individual group companies. There are significant differences between the Group's different companies' taxable results and financial situation, and as a result, the Group's total tax position is subject to various risks, although the company has tried to assess the situation on the basis of the best available information. If there are changes in the income tax decisions, business model, roles of different companies or transfer pricing of the parent company and/or subsidiaries, it may affect the tax liabilities of the group parent company or indirectly the values of the subsidiary shares and receivables, which may have a negative impact on the result and equity.

To the Annual General Meeting of Kamux Oyj
In our opinion
the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the group's financial position, financial performance and cash flows in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards 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 financial statements in Finland and comply with statutory requirements.
Our opinion is consistent with the additional report to the Audit Committee.
We have audited the financial statements of Kamux Oyj (business identity code 2442327-8) for the year ended 31 December 2024. The financial statements comprise:
the statement of comprehensive income, consolidated balance sheet, statement of changes in equity, statement of cash flows and notes, which include material accounting policy information and other explanatory information
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 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: € 2 600 000, calculated based on a combination of revenue and profit before tax. - Our audit procedures covered all countries and group locations significant to the Group, with emphasis on the most prominent locations in Finland, Sweden and Germany.
Valuation of inventories
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 | € 2 600 000 (previous year € 2 600 000) |
|---|---|
| How we determined it | We used a combination of net sales and result before taxes as benchmarks to determine overall group materiality. |
| Rationale for the materiality benchmark applied | We chose a combination of profit before tax and revenue as the benchmark because, in our view, these benchmarks against which the performance of the group is most commonly measured by readers of the financial statements. We chose 5% of profit before tax and 1% revenue which are within the ranges of acceptable quantitative materiality thresholds in auditing standards. |
We tailored the scope of our audit, taking into account the structure of the group, the accounting processes and controls, and the industry in which the group operates.
Our audit procedures covered all significant components of the group. The audit of the consolidated financial statements was focused on the most significant locations in Finland and Sweden, where we performed an audit based on the size of the companies and the characteristics of the risks. Additionally, we performed
audit of one or more financial statement line items in Germany. In other group companies we have performed analytical audit procedures to mitigate the risk of material misstatements 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 inventories | |
| Refer to note 3.1 | Our audit procedures included obtaining an understanding of management's processes and controls related to the accuracy of the valuation of inventories. |
| The Group measures inventory (€ 131 million) 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. |
in our audit we evaluated the appropriateness of the valuation principles of the group and their application to the valuation of inventories. |
| At the reporting date, a detailed review for net realizable value is executed for cars that have been in inventory for more than 90 days. Valuation of inventories is a key audit matter due to the size of the balance and the level of management judgement involved in the estimation process. |
We evaluated management's estimate of the need for write-downs for cars over 90 days in stock. We evaluated the accuracy of the write-downs compared to the group valuation principles, subsequent sales transactions and other circumstances identified during the audit. |
| We tested the value of the sample of cars included in inventory at year-end. We compared the inventory value of the cars in the sample to purchase costs. |
|
| We tested the net realizable value of a sample of cars included in inventory at year-end. We compared the inventory value of the cars in the sample to a subsequent sales price or market value. |
|
| Key audit matter in the audit of the parent company | How our audit addressed the key audit matter |
| Valuation of subsidiary shares | |
| Refer to parent company's financial statement notes | We reviewed management's impairment test of subsidiary shares, methods, and assumptions. We assessed |
| Valuation of subsidiary shares is a key audit matter due to the size of the balance and the level of management judgement involved in the estimation process. |
the appropriateness of the method and assumptions used in the impairment test. We evaluated the process of preparing the forecasted cash flows, e.g. by comparing the management's forecasts with external forecasts, both in terms of revenue growth and operating profit. |
| As at 31 December 2024 the value of Kamux Oyj's subsidiary shares amounted to € 61,8 million in the parent company's financial statements prepared in accordance with Finnish GAAP. |
The discount rates applied within the model were assessed by PwC business valuation specialist. |
| Kamux Oyj has recorded an impairment of € 6,1 million on subsidiary shares during the financial year. | We interviewed management about subsequent events which might require changes to management's estimates regarding the subsidiaries' ability to generate income or the valuation of subsidiary shares. |
| The valuation of subsidiary shares is tested as part of the group impairment testing based on the discounted cash flow model. |
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 IFRS Accounting Standards 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.
Plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business units within the group as a basis for forming an opinion on the group financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and review of the audit work performed for purposes 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 October 10, 2025. Our appointment represents a total period of uninterrupted engagement of ten 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 or our auditor's report thereon.
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 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 compliance with the applicable provisions, excluding the sustainability report information on which there are provisions in Chapter 7 of the Accounting Act and in the sustainability reporting standards.
In our opinion, the information in the report of the Board of Directors is consistent with the information in the financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors has been prepared in compliance with the applicable provisions. Our opinion does not cover the sustainability report information on which there are provisions in Chapter 7 of the Accounting Act and in the sustainability reporting standards.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of the other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Markku Launis Authorised Public Accountant (KHT)
To the Annual General Meeting of Kamux Oyj
We have performed a limited assurance engagement on the group sustainability report of Kamux Oyj (business identity code 2442327-8) that is referred to in Chapter 7 of the Accounting Act and that is included in the report of the Board of Directors for the reporting period 1.1-31.12.2024.
Based on the procedures we have performed and the evidence we have obtained, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the group sustainability report does not comply, in all material respects, with
1) the requirements laid down in Chapter 7 of the Accounting Act and the sustainability reporting standards (ESRS);
2) the requirements laid down in Article 8 of the Regulation (EU) 2020/852 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the establishment of a framework to facilitate sustainable investment, and amending Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 (EU Taxonomy).
Point 1 above also contains the process in which Kamux Oyj has identified the information for reporting in accordance with the sustainability reporting standards (double materiality assessment).
Our opinion does not cover the tagging of the group sustainability report in accordance with Chapter 7, Section 22, of the Accounting Act, because sustainability reporting companies have not had the possibility to comply with that requirement in the absence of the ESEF regulation or other European Union legislation.
We performed the assurance of the group sustainability report as a limited assurance engagement in compliance with good assurance practice in Finland and with the International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000 (Revised) Assurance Engagements Other than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information.
Our responsibilities under this standard are further described in the Responsibilities of the Authorised Group Sustainability Auditor section of our report.
We believe that the 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 engagement, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
Our firm applies International Standard on Quality Management ISQM 1, which requires the firm to design, implement and operate a system of quality management including policies or procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
The Board of Directors and the Managing Director of Kamux Oyj are responsible for:
defined in the sustainability reporting standards and in which the information for reporting in accordance with the sustainability reporting standards has been identified
the compliance of the group sustainability report with the requirements laid down in Article 8 of the Regulation (EU) 2020/852 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the establishment of a framework to facilitate sustainable investment, and amending Regulation (EU) 2019/2088;
such internal control as the Board of Directors and the Managing Director determine is necessary to enable the preparation of a group sustainability report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
The preparation of a sustainability report requires the company to conduct a materiality assessment to identify relevant matters to be reported. This involves significant management judgment and choices. It is also characteristic of sustainability reporting that there are estimates and assumptions involved in reporting this type of information, as well as measurement and assessment uncertainties.
Especially in determining greenhouse gases, there is inherent uncertainty because the scientific knowledge used to determine emission factors, and the numerical values needed to combine emissions from different gases is incomplete
Additionally, when reporting forward-looking information, the company must present assumptions regarding possible future events and disclose potential future actions related to these events. Actual outcomes are likely to be different since anticipated events frequently do not occur as expected.
As described by the company in the calculation methods concerning disclosure requirements E1-5 and E1-6 on pages 45 and 46 of the Group Sustainability Report, the calculations have primarily been carried out based on the monetary accounting information, rather than using actual usage/consumption data. As the company notes, there is significant uncertainty associated with this environmental data
Our responsibility is to perform an assurance engagement to obtain limited assurance about whether the group sustainability report is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a limited assurance report that includes our opinion. 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 decisions of users taken on the basis of the group sustainability report.
Compliance with the International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000 (Revised) requires that we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the engagement. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the group sustainability report, whether due to fraud or error, and obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the engagement in order to design assurance 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.
Design and perform assurance procedures responsive to those risks to obtain 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.
The procedures performed in a limited assurance engagement vary in nature and timing from, and are less in extent than for, a reasonable assurance engagement. The nature, timing and extent of assurance procedures selected depend on professional judgment, including the assessment of risks of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Consequently, the level of assurance obtained in a limited assurance engagement is substantially lower than the assurance that would have been obtained had a reasonable assurance engagement been performed.
Our procedures included for example the following:
We interviewed the company's management and the individuals responsible for collecting and reporting the information contained in the group sustainability report at the group level to gain an understanding of the sustainability reporting process and the related internal controls and information systems.
We familiarised ourselves with the background documentation and records prepared by the company where applicable, and assessed whether they support the information contained in the group sustainability report.
We assessed the company's double materiality assessment process in relation to the requirements of the ESRS standards, as well as whether the information provided about the assessment process complies with the ESRS standards.
We assessed whether the sustainability information contained in the group sustainability report complies with the ESRS standards.
Regarding the EU taxonomy information, we gained an understanding of the process by which the company has identified the group's taxonomy-eligible and taxonomy-aligned economic activities, and we assessed the compliance of the information provided with the regulations.
