The financial year 2024 marked a pivotal period for Landis+Gyr and our industry in many aspects. We launched a strategic transformation last fall, a new and dedicated leadership team is driving this transformation, and our industry is undergoing profound changes. Against the backdrop of unprecedented global electrification, increased energy demand, and the accelerating transition to renewable energy, Landis+Gyr remains steadfastly positioned at the forefront of integrated energy management solutions. Our innovative technology, robust business model, and dedicated teams have driven exceptional achievements and laid a solid foundation for sustainable growth and value creation. Our integrated edge-to-enterprise solutions remain pivotal in enabling utilities and consumers worldwide to manage resources efficiently and advance the critical transition to decarbonized grids.
Amid a fast-evolving energy landscape, the Board of Directors of Landis+Gyr initiated a focused strategic realignment in October 2024, aimed at unlocking greater value for all stakeholders and ensuring that each part of the business is optimally positioned for longterm success.
We are strategically focused on the Americas region, our largest and most profitable market. We continue to hold a leading position in this attractive market, characterized by strong industry fundamentals, and our edge-to-enterprise solution offering is not only differentiated but increasingly seen as a critical enabler of future energy systems. Our customers value Landis+Gyr as a single-source technology partner that delivers mission-critical infrastructure, including software, communication networks, services, and sensor technologies. This strong and growing demand underscores our technological leadership and the trusted relationships we have built across the region.
Concurrently, we have diligently started to assess strategic alternatives for our business in the EMEA region, including a potential sale, to maximize value creation for all stakeholders. Unlike the Americas, EMEA is shaped by regulatory fragmentation and a preference for standardized hardware and multi-supplier setups. These market dynamics limit the full deployment of integrated solutions and create a fundamentally different opportunity set. With the divestment of our EV charging business, we are enabling our EMEA operations to focus on core metering capabilities while positioning the business for future clarity and success.
As part of our enhanced focus on the Americas region, we are working towards a US stock exchange listing in 2026. Momentum is building among US-based institutional investors who are aligned with our long-term vision and strategic direction, and who recognize the value of our portfolio and the strength of our business. This move aims to bring us closer to our core market, increase visibility, and broaden access to capital, while continuing to maintain our headquarters in Switzerland and accommodate our existing shareholders through a transitional dual listing.
Throughout this transformation, our unwavering commitment to customer success remains at the core of our strategy. We are ensuring continuity across the organization while maintaining the trusted partnerships we have built over time. Guided by innovation, operational excellence, and a strong sustainability ethos, we continue to deliver cutting-edge technologies and solutions that empower our customers and end users alike.
FY 2024 was marked by strong commercial momentum, underscoring the resilience of our business model and effectiveness of our strategic initiatives. We are pleased to report a very strong order intake of USD 2.6 billion, resulting in a book-to-bill ratio of 1.5. This success was driven by key wins in the Americas and Asia Pacific, alongside a solid performance in EMEA. Many of these wins centered on our leading grid edge technology and software capabilities. Our order backlog reached a record high of USD 4.6 billion, providing strong visibility and a solid foundation for growth in FY 2025 and beyond.
In FY 2024, net revenue declined by 10.5% in constant currency to USD 1,729.3 million from the record level in the previous year and was mainly driven by the non-recurrence of pent-up demand realization in FY 2023. The Adjusted EBITDA in FY 2024 was USD 170.9 million, a decrease of 25.7% compared to FY 2023, mainly attributable to reduced operating leverage and a one-time inventory obsolescence in the Americas region. Excluding two one-off impacts, the Adjusted EBITDA margin came in at 10.4%. The net loss from continuing operations for FY 2024 was USD (84.7) million or USD (2.97) per share, including a goodwill impairment for the EV business of USD 111.0 million.
Cash flow from operating activities was USD 78.9 million in FY 2024 (versus USD 121.2 million in FY 2023), driven by lower profitability and higher operating working capital. As of March 31, 2025, the ratio of net debt to Adjusted EBITDA was 1.07 times, with net debt of USD 182.9 million.
To preserve balance sheet strength and maximize operational flexibility, the Board of Directors decided to temporarily pause the dividend policy and is proposing a reduced distribution of CHF 1.15 per share which will be paid out entirely from statutory capital reserves.
We expect a net revenue growth of between 5% and 8% in FY 2025. As a result of the expected revenue growth and operational efficiency initiatives, the Adjusted EBITDA margin is expected to be between 10.5% and 12.0% of net revenue for FY 2025. We are confident in our ability to manage tariff-related costs and at present expect them to have a minimal impact in 2025. We also aim to return to a progressive dividend policy in FY 2025. Our solid balance sheet positions Landis+Gyr robustly for sustained investment and long-term profitable growth.
Innovation remains at the core of Landis+Gyr's strategy as we drive the digital transformation of the energy sector. In FY 2024, we invested 9.7% of our net revenue into R&D, underscoring our commitment to advancing technologies that empower utilities and consumers to manage energy more efficiently and sustainably.
We continued to enhance our technology portfolio with intelligent, flexible solutions that reinforce our leadership in the global energy transition. Strategic partnerships play a critical role in this journey: together with OATI, we launched Landis+Gyr DERMS, Powered by OATI, an integrated platform that allows utilities to seamlessly orchestrate distributed energy resources, such as EVs, solar, and battery storage, across all customer segments.
Meanwhile, our expanded collaboration with SPAN led to the introduction of SPAN Edge, a breakthrough behind-the-meter technology that transforms homes into intelligent, responsive grid assets, providing real-time visibility and control while unlocking load flexibility at scale.
These advancements, alongside our ongoing development of cloud-based SaaS platforms, advanced analytics, and integrated flexibility management, form a comprehensive ecosystem that not only meets evolving customer needs but also contributes meaningfully to global decarbonization and energy resilience goals.
Sustainability is deeply embedded within Landis+Gyr's long-term strategy and operations, reflecting our ongoing commitment to decarbonizing grids and promoting sustainable practices internally and externally. FY 2024 was particularly notable as we achieved significant milestones aligned with our ambitious Science-Based Targets. Our installed smart meters enabled the avoidance of approximately 9 million tons of CO2 emissions, significantly surpassing our own operational footprint.
Across the Group, we increased our renewable electricity usage to 96%, marking a considerable advance toward our goal of achieving 100% renewable electricity consumption by FY 2025. Notably, we have already reduced our Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 67% from the FY 2021 baseline, driven by improved efficiency, electrification of our vehicle fleet, and enhanced renewable energy sourcing.
These efforts have been externally recognized with prestigious awards, including the EcoVadis Platinum medal, placing us among the top 1% of companies assessed globally. Additionally, our membership in the Responsible Business Alliance underscores our commitment to sustainable and responsible business practices throughout our supply chain. Our core purpose remains clear: partnering with our stakeholders to manage energy better and accelerate our collective journey toward decarbonization.
At the upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Shareholders in June 2025, several changes to the Board of Directors will be proposed in alignment with the Company's strategic direction.
This letter marks a moment of transition for both of us as we reflect on our roles within Landis+Gyr and look ahead to the next chapter of the Company's journey.
Peter Mainz has decided not to seek re-election to the Board of Directors in order to focus fully on his responsibilities as Chief Executive Officer during this pivotal phase of strategic transformation. With a strong leadership team in place and a clear direction ahead, this step reflects our commitment to operational focus and effective execution.
After more than 25 years of close involvement with Landis+Gyr, including the past eight years as Chair of the Board, Andreas Umbach has also decided not to stand for re-election at the upcoming AGM in June 2025. "It has been an extraordinary privilege to serve this Company and witness its evolution into a technology leader in intelligent energy management solutions. What has always set Landis+Gyr apart is its deep sense of purpose and the enduring trust of its customers, partners, employees, and shareholders. That spirit will remain its strongest asset moving forward."
To ensure continued leadership aligned with our strategic direction, the Board will propose Audrey Zibelman – currently Vice-Chair and a US citizen – for election as the new Chair. With a distinguished track record in both utility operations and regulatory affairs, and deep knowledge of global energy markets, she is ideally positioned to guide Landis+Gyr into its next chapter.
The Board of Directors will propose Steve Louden and Brett Carter, both US citizens, for election as new members of the Board of Directors at the next AGM. Steve and Brett bring extensive financial and industry experience and valuable perspectives that align with our strategic priorities, especially our enhanced focus on the Americas region and our future US listing.
We remain deeply committed to the continued success of Landis+Gyr and are confident that these changes will support the Company's long-term value creation and sustained leadership in a rapidly transforming energy landscape.
Landis+Gyr's greatest asset remains our dedicated employees, whose passion, expertise, and commitment drive our continued innovation and industry leadership. Over the past year, we have made significant strides in equipping our teams with the necessary skills and re sources to succeed in a rapidly evolving industry land scape. Their tireless focus ensures that we remain agile, responsive, and capable of meeting the ambitious ener gy and sustainability goals of our customers worldwide.
As we progress, our clear strategic direction, innovative solutions, and strong customer partnerships position us uniquely to capitalize on ongoing industry transfor mations. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our em ployees, customers, and partners for their unwavering trust and collaboration.
Driven by our record backlog and robust pipeline, we remain committed to advancing our transformational journey, delivering innovative technology, strengthening partnerships, driving profitable growth, and creating lasting value for our shareholders.
On behalf of all of us at Landis+Gyr, we thank you, our shareholders, for your continued support of and own ership in Landis+Gyr and for joining us in driving our mission to manage energy better – together.
Yours sincerely,
Andreas Umbach Peter Mainz
Chair Chief Executive Officer

"Financial Year 2024 demonstrated the resilience of Landis+Gyr's business model, underscored by exceptional commercial achievements and strategic progress. We achieved a very strong order intake, an unprecedented backlog, and maintained our strategic focus despite facing transitional headwinds. This success was driven by our team delivering key wins in the Americas and Asia Pacific regions, alongside a notably solid performance in EMEA.
We remain confident in our long-term growth trajectory supported by the record-high backlog and pipeline, both propelled by the adoption of our innovative grid edge solutions. With the new management team fully in place, we are continuing to make progress with our strategic transformation, marked by our completed exit from EV charging. We are encouraged to see customers beyond North America embracing grid edge technology to address the challenge of increasing energy demand."
Throughout FY 2024, our business delivered robust commercial momentum, as evidenced by an exceptional order intake totaling USD 2,614 million, reflecting a year-overyear increase of 33.3%. This corresponds to a strong bookto-bill ratio of 1.5. The sustained strong order intake was driven by positive momentum and contract awards in all three regions. In the second half of FY 2024, the order intake amounted to USD 1,808.2 million, making it the strongest semester since the Company's IPO in 2017. The committed backlog was up by 22.9% year-over-year, reaching a new record level of USD 4,630.4 million as of March 31, 2025. This substantial backlog provides us with significant visibility and a solid foundation for sustained future growth.
Despite these remarkable commercial successes, net revenue in FY 2024 declined by 10.5% in constant currency to USD 1,729.3 million. This reduction primarily resulted from the non-recurrence of approximately USD 120 million in pent-up demand realized in FY 2023, tariff-related shipment delays in March, and a softer first-half performance in our EMEA region. Revenue in the Americas region decreased by 13.9% in constant currency, mainly due to the previous year's exceptional performance and timing-related shipment delays. Meanwhile, EMEA revenue saw a 6.5% decline, affected by temporary project delays and regional market softness, and Asia Pacific reported a slight decline of 2.9% primarily due to project timing issues.
Adjusted EBITDA for FY 2024 stood at USD 170.9 million, reflecting a margin of 9.9%. While this represented a decrease from the previous year, driven by lower operating leverage and a one-time inventory obsolescence charge of USD 20 million, disciplined expense management, operational efficiencies, and a real estate transaction positively influenced our performance. Excluding one-off effects, our adjusted EBITDA margin was a solid 10.4%, underscoring our ability to manage operational pressures effectively.
The Board of Directors proposes a reduced distribution of CHF 1.15 per share for FY 2024 to preserve our balance sheet strength and maintain operational flexibility. Our strong liquidity position, reflected in a Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio of 1.07, ensures that Landis+Gyr remains robustly positioned for future strategic initiatives and sustained profitable growth.

Peter Mainz Chief Executive Officer
Throughout the year, we advanced our strategic transformation, sharpening our focus on the Americas region, which remains our largest and most profitable market. As part of this transformation, we completed the divestment of our electric vehicle (EV) charging business, enabling us to better concentrate on our core strengths. Concurrently, we are actively assessing strategic alternatives for our EMEA operations, including a potential sale, to maximize stakeholder value. These strategic realignments aim to position each segment of our business optimally for future success. In line with our enhanced regional focus, we are working towards a US listing by 2026. This strategic move would align us more closely with our primary market and enhance visibility and access to capital, further supporting our growth ambitions. We remain committed to a smooth transition and will maintain a temporary dual listing to accommodate all shareholders.
Looking ahead to FY 2025, we expect a return to growth with net revenue anticipated to increase between 5% and 8%. This expected growth will be driven by robust backlog execution, new market opportunities, and ongoing strategic initiatives. Furthermore, we expect our Adjusted EBITDA margin to improve, reaching between 10.5% and 12.0%, supported by continued operational efficiency measures and effective management of tariff-related costs. We remain confident in our strategic direction, the resilience of our business model, and our ability to deliver sustainable growth and profitability in the years ahead.
Our dedicated teams around the world remain deeply committed and focused on innovation, excellence, and customer success. Together, we continue to actively shape the future of energy management, driving forward our vision for a smarter, greener, and more sustainable energy future.

It controls both financial and non-financial risks, including legal matters that could materially impact the Group. The AFRC regularly consults with the Group's CEO and the Executive Management. At least once a year, the Board of Directors, via the AFRC, is briefed by the Group Executive Management on significant changes in risk management. In the financial year 2024, the Group Risk Report was reviewed with the Board of Directors at the March 2025 board meeting.

The top material risks on the Company's risk radar are IT Security & Computer Crime, Portfolio & Technology Competitiveness, Quality Management, and Organizational Efficiency. In addition to the risks described below, the Company closely monitors global geopolitical risks while reinforcing business continuity plans. The overview below describes these risks and shows mitigation actions implemented by Landis+Gyr.
Further information on risk management is provided in the Corporate Governance Report on page 15.
Sustainability lies at the core of Landis+Gyr's identity, influencing our culture and driving our efforts toward a greener, more sustainable future. We strive to weave this commitment into all facets of the Company's strategy and operations. Through advanced technologies and solutions, Landis+Gyr enables individuals and businesses to use resources more efficiently and support the transition to a decarbonized energy grid, contributing to a more sustainable planet.
Landis+Gyr conducts a comprehensive materiality assessment every three years to identify ESG priorities and establish roadmaps for each focus area. These roadmaps are the foundation of our sustainability strategy, driving progress toward our ambitions and targets while ensuring we create sustainable value for all stakeholders. We built on this framework in the reporting year to achieve several key milestones, demonstrating our commitment to continuous improvement and meaningful impact.
In FY 2024 – the final year of our three-year ESG cycle – we advanced our decarbonization initiatives across our value chain, making substantial progress in our products and operations. Our network of smart meters played a key role, enabling our customers to avoid the emission of 9 million tons of CO2. In addition, the proportion of our product offerings categorized under our "Eco Portfolio" increased to 89% from 84% in FY 2023. This growth demonstrates our continued commitment to innovating sustainable solutions.
We remain committed to achieving our Science-Based Targets (SBTs) and made strong progress in FY 2024. Renewable electricity accounted for 96% of our total electricity consumption, up from 79% in the previous year, keeping us on track to reach 100% by FY 2025 – five years ahead of our original target. We are proud to announce that in FY 2024, we reached our Science-Based Target for combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions having achieved a 67% reduction in these emissions compared to our FY 2021 base year – exceeding our SBT by 25%. This progress reflects the impact of increased renewable energy use, improved energy efficiency, and the progressive electrification of our vehicle fleet. With respect to Scope 3 emissions, although absolute figures were 4% higher than in FY 2021, they declined by 12% relative to every USD 100 of net revenue – highlighting continued gains in carbon efficiency across our value chain.
Complementing our emissions reduction efforts, we also achieved tangible improvements in other areas of environmental performance. Notably, we reduced our waste generation and increased our proportion of waste recycling. These achievements reflect our holistic approach to environmental stewardship and our commitment to managing the broader environmental impacts of our operations.
Moreover, we are committed to maintaining a safe and engaging work environment. In the past year, targeted initiatives in occupational health and safety led to a significant reduction in the Lost-Time Incident Frequency Rate, which decreased from 1.14 to 0.85. Employee development also remained a key focus, with average training hours per employee exceeding 30 hours in FY 2024. These achievements reflect the dedication and contributions of our employees. We continue to invest in programs that support our workforce, promote well-being, and foster a culture of belonging across the organization.
This year we became a member of the Responsible Business Alliance, reinforcing our commitment to sustainable business practices across our supply chain. By collaborating with partners, suppliers, and peers, we share best practices and address critical challenges to strengthen our sustainability leadership. Our work in this area led us to complete 52 ESG audits covering 92.5% of our direct material spend.
Our efforts have gained external recognition, including the EcoVadis Platinum rating, which places us in the top 1% of companies assessed globally. This recognition further solidifies our position as a trusted partner for both customers and stakeholders and inspires us to maintain our momentum, driving even greater progress in our journey toward a sustainable future.
Looking ahead, we remain committed to innovating for sustainable solutions that support more efficient resource management and the decarbonization of energy grids across the world, with environmental and social responsibility at the core of our mission.

On March 31, 2025, the Company's ordinary share capital as registered with the Commercial Register of the Canton of Zug amounted to CHF 289,089,440.00, divided into 28,908,944 fully paid-in registered shares with a nominal value of CHF 10.00 per share. The shares are limited in transferability and non-assessable.
On March 31, 2025, the Articles provided for two types of conditional capital (arts. 3a and 3b of the Articles) as well as a capital band (art. 3c of the Articles). According to art. 3a of the Articles, the Company's share capital may be increased by up to CHF 4,500,000 through the issuance of up to 450,000 fully paid-up registered shares with a nominal value of CHF 10.00 each (the "Conditional Capital for Employees"). According to art. 3b of the Articles, the Company's share capital may be increased by up to CHF 28,908,940 through the issuance of up to 2,890,894 fully paid-in registered shares with a nominal value of CHF 10.00 each (the "Conditional Capital for Financing and Acquisitions"). According to art. 3c of the Articles, the Company has a capital band ranging from CHF 260,180,500 (lower limit) to CHF 317,998,380 (upper limit). The Board shall be authorized within the capital band to increase or reduce the share capital once or several times and in any amounts or to acquire or dispose of shares directly or indirectly, until June 22, 2026, or until an earlier expiry of the capital band.
According to art. 3a of the Articles, the Company may increase its share capital by up to CHF 4,500,000 by issuing up to 450,000 fully paid-up registered shares with a nominal value of CHF 10.00 each, upon the exercise of option rights or in connection with similar rights regarding shares (including performance stock units ("PSUs") and/or restricted stock units ("RSUs")) granted to officers and employees at all levels of the Group. Pre-emptive rights and advance subscription rights of shareholders do not apply, and the shares may be issued at a price below the market price. If fully utilized, the maximum amount of this conditional capital (CHF 4,500,000) would equal approximately 1.6% of the existing share capital. The time period for an increase of the Company's share capital pursuant to art. 3a of the Articles is limited until June 22, 2026.8
According to art. 3b of the Articles, the Company may increase its share capital by up to CHF 28,908,940 by issuing up to 2,890,894 fully paid-in registered shares with a nominal value of CHF 10.00 each, through the exercise or mandatory exercise of conversion, exchange, option, warrant or similar rights for the subscription of shares granted to shareholders or third parties alone or in connection with bonds, notes, loans, options, warrants or other securities or contractual obligations of the Company or any of its Group companies (the "Financial Instruments"). The pre-emptive rights of shareholders are excluded in connection with the issuance of registered shares upon the exercise of any Financial Instruments. The current owners of such Financial Instruments are entitled to acquire the new registered shares issued upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any Financial Instruments. The Board of Directors is authorized to restrict or withdraw advance subscription rights of shareholders in connection with the issuance of Financial Instruments by the Company or one of its Group companies under certain terms and conditions. Certain further terms and conditions apply in case advance subscription rights are neither granted directly nor indirectly by the Board of Directors. If fully utilized, the maximum amount of this conditional capital (CHF 28,908,940) would equal approximately 10.0% of the existing share capital. The time period for an increase of the Company's share capital pursuant to art. 3a of the Articles is limited until June 22, 2026, provided that certain terms and conditions as described in art. 3b of the Articles may impose time limitations on the conversion, exchange or exercise of the Financial Instruments.9
The Company has a capital band ranging from CHF 260,180,500 (lower limit) to CHF 317,998,380 (upper limit). The Board of Directors shall be authorized within the capital band to increase or reduce the share capital once or several times and in any amounts or to acquire or dispose of shares directly or indirectly, until June 22, 2026, or until an earlier expiry of the capital band. The capital increase or reduction may be affected by issuing up to 2,890,894 fully paid-in registered shares with a nominal value of CHF 10.00 each and canceling up to 2,890,894 registered shares with a nominal value of CHF 10.00 each, as applicable, or by increasing or reducing the nominal value of the existing shares within the limits of the capital band.
In the event of an issue of shares, the subscription and acquisition of the new registered shares and any subsequent transfer of these registered shares shall be subject to the restrictions pursuant to art. 5 of the Articles. In the event of a capital increase within the capital band, the Board of Directors shall, to the extent necessary, determine the issue price, the type of contribution (including cash contributions, contributions in kind, set-off and conversion of reserves or of profit carried forward into share capital), the date of issue, the conditions for the exercise of subscription rights and the beginning date for dividend entitlement. In this regard, the Board of Directors may issue new shares by means of a firm underwriting through a financial

institution, a syndicate of financial institutions or another third party and a subsequent offer of these shares to the existing shareholders or third parties (if the subscription rights of the existing shareholders have been withdrawn or have not been duly exercised). The Board of Directors is entitled to permit, to restrict or to exclude the trade with subscription rights. It may permit the expiration of subscription rights that have not been duly exercised, or it may place such rights or shares as to which subscription rights have been granted, but not duly exercised, at market conditions or may use them otherwise in the interest of the Company.10
Until June 22, 2026, or an earlier expiry of the capital band, the total number of newly issued shares which may be issued with the restriction or withdrawal of advance subscription rights or pre-emptive rights (i) from the conditional capital pursuant to art. 3a and art. 3b of the Articles and (ii) from the capital band pursuant to art. 3c of the Articles must not exceed 2,890,894 new shares.
There have been no changes in Landis + Gyr's ordinary share capital in the last three years.
The Company has not completed any share re-purchase programs in the last three years.
The Company regularly purchases additional shares for the purposes of compensation of the Board of Directors and to serve the Company's Long-Term Incentive Plan. As of March 31, 2025, the Company held 89,337 treasury shares, which represents 0.31% of the Company's share capital.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company's share capital amounted to CHF 289,908,944.00, divided into 28,908,944 registered shares with a nominal value of CHF 10.00 each, all fully paid in. Pursuant to art. 11 of the Articles, each share carries one vote at a shareholders' meeting. The shares rank pari passu in all respects with each other, including, in respect of entitlements to dividends, to a share in the liquidation proceeds in the case of liquidation of the Company. The Company issues its registered shares as uncertificated securities (Wertrechte) and registers them as book-entry securities within the meaning of the Swiss Federal Act on Intermediated Securities (the "FISA"). In accordance with art. 973c of the CO, the Company maintains a register of uncertificated securities (Wertrechtebuch).
The Company has not issued any participation certificates.
The Company has not issued any dividend-right certificates (Genussscheine).
Art. 5 of the Articles contains restrictions on a shareholder's possibility to be entered in the Company's share register as a shareholder with voting rights and on the registration of nominees (the "Nominee").12
Pursuant to art. 5 of the Articles, persons acquiring registered shares are, on application, entered in the share register without limitation as shareholders with voting power, provided they comply with the disclosure requirements stipulated by the FMIA and expressly declare that they have acquired the shares in their own name and for their own account. Entry as a shareholder with voting rights in the share register of the Company is subject to approval by the Company.
The Company may refuse entry as a shareholder with voting rights in case the applicant is non-compliant with any of the requirements set forth above or is noncompliant with the rules (and the requirements) set forth in the Articles for Nominee registrations. The limits for registration set forth for Nominees also apply, subject to art. 652b para. 3 CO, to the subscription for or acquisition of registered shares by exercising pre-emptive, option or convertible rights arising from shares, or any other securities issued by the Company or third parties. For purposes of the limitations on transferability of shares, legal entities or partnerships or other associations or joint ownership arrangements, which are linked through capital ownership or voting rights, through common management or in a similar manner, as well as individuals, legal entities or partnerships (especially syndicates), which act in concert with the intent to circumvent the entry restriction, are considered as one shareholder or Nominee. The Company may in special cases approve exceptions to the restrictions described in this paragraph (i.e., in art. 5 paras. 3, 4 and 5 of the Articles).
If the Company does not refuse to register the acquirer as a shareholder with voting rights within 20 calendar days upon receipt of the application, the acquirer is deemed to be a shareholder with voting rights. Non-recognized acquirers shall be entered in the share register as shareholders without voting rights. The corresponding shares shall be considered as not represented in the General Meeting of Shareholders.
11 This Section 2.6 works as a summary of the limitations on transferability of the Company's shares and nominee registrations. See art. 5 of the Articles for more information.
12 Legal entities or partnerships or other associations which are linked through capital ownership or voting rights, through common management or in a similar manner, as well as individuals, legal entities or partnerships which 10 For a more comprehensive description of the capital band, refer to art. 3c of the Articles. act in concert with the intent to circumvent the entry restriction, are considered as one shareholder or Nominee.
As of March 31, 2025, no exceptions under art. 5 of the Articles had been granted during the period under review.
Persons not expressly declaring themselves to be holding shares for their own account in their application for entry in the share register or upon request by the Company, the Nominees, are entered in the share register with voting rights without further inquiry up to a maximum of 3.0% of the share capital outstanding at the time. Above this limit, shares held by Nominees are entered into the share register with voting rights only after the Nominee discloses the names, addresses and shareholdings of the persons for whose account the Nominee is holding 0.5% or more of the share capital at that time, and provided that the disclosure requirements stipulated by the FMIA are complied with.
The Company may refuse entry as a Nominee in case the applicant is non-compliant with the rules (and the requirements) set forth in the Articles for Nominee registrations. The limits for registration set forth for Nominees also apply, subject to art. 652b para. 3 CO, to the subscription for or acquisition of registered shares by exercising pre-emptive, option or convertible rights arising from shares, or any other securities issued by the Company or third parties. For purposes of the limitations set forth with regard to Nominee registrations, legal entities or partnerships or other associations or joint ownership arrangements, which are linked through capital ownership or voting rights, through common management or in a similar manner, as well as individuals, legal entities or partnerships (especially syndicates), which act in concert with the intent to circumvent the entry restriction, are considered as one shareholder or Nominee. The Company may in special cases approve exceptions to the restrictions described in this paragraph.
The Board of Directors has the right to conclude agreements with Nominees concerning their disclosure requirements.
After due consultation with the persons concerned, the Company is further authorized to delete entries in the share register as a shareholder with voting rights with retroactive effect if they were affected on the basis of false information or if the respective person does not provide the information required by and for the registration of Nominees. The concerned person must be immediately informed about the deletion.
The Company has not issued any bonds or options regarding its shares outstanding as of March 31, 2025.
During 2024, the Nomination, Governance and Sustainability Committee (the "NGSC") oversaw the appointment process of Fabian Rauch as a new member to the Board, replacing Peter Bason, who stepped down, with effect from the Extraordinary General Meeting on August 26, 2024. Fabian Rauch, Co-founder and Managing Partner of Spectrum Entrepreneurial Ownership (SEO), represents one of the Group's major shareholders.
The Board of Directors is entrusted with the ultimate direction of the Company as well as the supervision of the management. Candidates for the Board of Directors are carefully selected to ensure qualified, committed members who are skilled and will devote the effort and time necessary to effectively carry out their governance responsibilities. In selecting members, the Board of Directors aims for suitable inclusiveness in its members and looks in particular for variety in gender, competence, age, origin, background (current members represent six nationalities) and experience, as well as for expertise relevant to the specific role they will play on the Board of Directors, including their memberships on the three committees, as applicable, i.e., the Audit, Finance and Risk Committee (the "AFRC"), the Remuneration Committee (the "RemCo") and the NGSC. The NGSC regularly works with the Board on identifying individuals who are qualified to become members of the Board and of the Committees with the target to achieve and maintain at a minimum the statutory guidelines for balanced representation of gender on the Board. Further, Landis+Gyr aims to reflect the international operations of the Company and its strategic ambitions in the Board of Directors and therefore the Board of Directors shall include members with appropriate international experience.
Pursuant to Swiss corporate law and the Articles, all Directors are elected annually. The Board of Directors currently consists of seven non-executive members and one executive member, as the CEO is also a member of the Board of Directors and thus a board delegate. Five of the eight members of the Board of Directors are independent as they satisfy the independence criteria further described in 3.1.4. Therefore, the majority of the Directors are independent.
As the current Chair of the Board (the "Chair") formerly served as the Company's CEO, the Board of Directors has a Lead Independent Director whose role is further described in Section 3.5.1.2 below. Effective January 1, 2025, the Board of Directors implemented the role of the Vice-Chair which is further described in Section 3.5.1.1.

As previously announced on January 9, 2025, the Chair has informed the Board that he will not stand for re-election at the ordinary General Meeting in 2025 and, by way of an outlook, the Board of Directors will propose Audrey Zibelman, for election as Chair. Audrey Zibelman, is considered an independent Director, according to the DCG and the Swiss Code of Best Practice for Corporate Governance.
Peter Mainz will not stand for re-election as a member of the Board of Directors, to focus on his position as CEO and to progress Landis+Gyr's current Strategic Transformation Initiatives outlined on page 9 in the Performance Report and in the 2025 Governance Roadshow presentation which can be viewed online at: www.landisgyr. com/about/executive-management-and-board/ → Corporate Governance Documents → Governance Roadshow Presentation.
Landis+Gyr aims to have a well-balanced Board of Directors with individuals who bring a variety of perspectives, backgrounds and skills and who apply them to permit the Board of Directors to offer informed stewardship. When identifying members for the new Board of Directors at the time of the Company's initial public offering, a collective set of important skills/traits was defined with the support of an external consultant. This set of skills/traits was reviewed and expanded over the past years, e.g., in 2021, when M&A expertise was added during the annual review to reflect the Company's recent acquisitions and current strategy and in FY 2023, when the skills were redefined. For FY 2024, the Board Skills Matrix was reviewed and updated with a new Director joining the Board, and as shown below. The Board Skills Matrix summarizes the current set of skills/traits grouped into four categories. The actual skills/traits of the current Board of Directors were then reviewed and mapped against the matrix, and it was confirmed that the existing Board of Directors collectively possesses all the identified skills/traits.
13 Andreas Umbach qualifies as an independent Director according to the DCG and the Swiss Code of Best Practice for Corporate Governance. To ensure consistency of this Corporate Governance Report with previous versions, he continues to be assessed as not independent. See also Sections 3.1.2 and 3.1.4 below.

The Board of Directors conducts an annual Board and Committee Self-Assessment based on a comprehensive and anonymous questionnaire which is reviewed and adjusted on an annual basis, dependent on the current focus area.
In the full Board assessment from the prior year, conducted with the support of an external governance specialist, the Board concluded that it had performed effectively, with the necessary competencies, resources and capacities available.
The internal Board and Committee evaluation process conducted by the NGSC in cooperation with the Company Secretary for the calendar year 2025 has started in March and will be completed in May. The evaluation questionnaire follows a similar format to the prior years to enable a year-on-year comparison of performance and to build on the outcomes of the externally facilitated evaluation completed for the calendar year 2024. All individual Board members will complete the questionnaire for the full Board and each Board Committee's performance will also be reviewed by the Committee members and Chair of the Board.
In line with the NGSC Organizational Regulations, in March the NGSC, agreed on the form of the questionnaire and content of the questions. The questionnaire, among other topics, focuses on composition, inclusiveness, culture, ESG and Board dynamics, alongside the consideration of the Board's approach to strategy, risk, and decision making. Further, the internal questionnaire addresses the effectiveness of the Board's relationship and interactions with the Chair of the Board and Group Executive Management team including the CEO.
The NGSC meets in May to discuss the results of the internal questionnaire. Further, the Chair conducts individual feedback and performance reviews with each director. The Lead Independent Director conducts the Chair's performance review with the Board of Directors and in absence of the Chair. Finally, the full Board of Directors jointly reviews the results of the self-assessment and defines any relevant changes, measures or improvement actions.
The Board of Directors has applied its own independence criteria which go beyond the requirements of the DCG, the FINMA Circular on Corporate Governance and the Swiss Code of Best Practice for Corporate Governance, based on an Independent Directors Policy. The Company's non-executive members of the Board of Directors are deemed independent if they:
• are not representatives of individual shareholders (private or institutional) or a specific group of shareholders and are not significant shareholders of the Company (shareholdings of 10% or more).
Exceptions to the above, for the purposes of this Corporate Governance Report, apply to the Chair of the Company for reasons of consistency (i.e., the Chair is not deemed to be independent although he fulfils all of the above criteria). See also Sections 3.1.2 above and 3.1.8 below.
The Board takes its independence seriously and recognizes the importance the Group's shareholders place on this issue. The Board regularly reviews the independence of its members, applying the criteria set out in section 15 of the Swiss Code of Best Practice for Corporate Governance, in line with the typical approach taken by Swiss listed companies. Furthermore, each year, a related parties review is completed.

The Board of Directors of Landis+Gyr already complies with the requirements of Swiss law regarding gender representation on the boards of directors of listed companies.

Please see the above descriptions in Section 3.1.8 for information on other activities and vested interests of the current Board of Directors.
Landis+Gyr's Articles of Association referred to in the following section can be viewed online at: www.landisgyr.com/about/executive-management-and-board/ → Corporate Governance Documents → Articles of Association. The key provisions are summarized below:
The Articles of Association limit the number of permissible additional activities of the members of the Board of Directors, the Executive Management Board and the Advisory Board in the supreme management or administrative bodies of legal entities which are obliged to be registered in the Commercial Register or in a corresponding foreign register and which are not controlled by the Company or do not control the Company.
Art. 23 of the Articles limits the number of outside mandates by the members of the Board as follows:
All members of the Board of Directors have complied with these requirements (see above biographies and disclosure of external mandates in the Remuneration Report).
With the approval of the Nomination, Governance and Sustainability Committee, the members of the Executive Management may have up to 3 additional mandates in legal entities (whereof up to 1 mandate may be in a publicly traded company pursuant to art. 727 para. 1 number 1 CO). Mandates shall mean mandates in comparable functions at other enterprises with an economic purpose. Mandates in different legal entities that are under uniform control or the same beneficial ownership are deemed one mandate. Mandates in companies which are controlled by the Company or which control the Company are not subject to the limitations set forth in this art. 23 of the Articles.
Please see the above descriptions in Section 3.1.8 for information on the mandates of the current members of the Board of Directors.
Please refer to Section 3.1 above for information relating to the time of first election to office of the Company's current Directors.
As prescribed by Swiss law and the Ordinance Against Excessive Compensation in particular, members of the Board of Directors, including the Chair, are elected individually by the General Meeting for a one-year term. In accordance with art. 15 of the Articles and art. 4 of the Organizational Regulations, re-election is possible for all Directors provided that at the time of election or re-election, the relevant Director has not completed the age of 7015 and has not served on the board for more than 12 years. The members of the Remuneration Committee as well as the independent proxy (the "Independent Proxy") are also elected by the General Meeting for a oneyear term.
The Organizational Regulations define the essential roles and responsibilities of the Board of Directors, the Chair, the Vice-Chair, the Lead Independent Director if the Chair is considered to be non-independent and the Committees. The role of the CEO, the Group Executive Management and the extended executive management are also defined in the Organizational Regulations.
In general, the Chair of the Board of Directors or, in his/her absence, conflict of interest, unavailability, or failure to act, the Vice-Chair or Lead Independent Director (or, in his/her absence, conflict of interest, unavailability, or failure to act, any other designated member of the Board of Directors), convenes the meetings of the Board of Directors, sets the agenda, prepares the meetings, and chairs them. He/she supervises the drafting and signing of the respective minutes, the implementation of resolutions taken by the Board of Directors, conducts strategic relations and contacts with shareholders, investors, the media and the general public in coordination with the CEO, and assumes any other duty as further set out in the applicable laws, the Articles of Association and the Company's Organizational Regulations.
The tasks and areas of responsibility of the Vice-Chair are outlined in detail in the Organizational Regulations and can be summarized that the Vice-Chair assumes the Chair's duties, obligations and rights for the time period that the Chair is not available due to his/her absence, conflict of interest, unavailability or failure to act. The Vice Chair further assumes the Lead Independent Director's duties, if certain items concerning the Chair are on the agenda, e.g. assessment of the work of the Chair or decision of the Board on the motion to the General Meeting for the re-election of the current Chair, or similar items.
15 For more information on the terms of office of Board members, see art. 4 of the Organizational Regulations, available at www.landisgyr.com/webfoo/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/LandisGyr-Organizational-Regulations_External.pdf.
The tasks and areas of responsibility of the Lead Independent Director are further described in Section 3.5.1.2 below.
The Board of Directors has established an Audit, Finance and Risk Committee, a Remuneration Committee and a Nomination, Governance and Sustainability Committee. The members of the Committees are shown in the table under Section 3.1.2 above. The Board of Directors may, in accordance with art. 8.1 of the Organizational Regulations, define other temporary committees or define temporary delegation of certain matters to a group of members of the Board of Directors. Please see Sections 3.5.2.1 et seqq. for the specific tasks and areas of responsibility of the Committees.
With the introduction of a Vice-Chair in January 2025, the Lead Independent Director is appointed by the Board of Directors only in the event that the Chair is considered to be "non-independent" by the Board pursuant to the Independent Directors Policy for a term of one year until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting. The role of the Lead Independent Director is to ensure independence and leadership for other independent directors. Besides creating a governance means to address any potential issue where the Chair – due to his previous role as CEO of the Group – may be conflicted, the Lead Independent Director function enhances the opportunity for each Board member's point of view to be heard. Further, if the Chair and the Vice-Chair are indisposed or conflicted, the Lead Independent Director chairs the Board meetings. This includes any deliberations or decision-taking involving the assessment of the Chair's work.

The AFRC supports the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities with respect to matters involving the financial and risk management aspects of governance of the Company and the Group. In particular, the AFRC supports the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibility to the shareholders, potential shareholders, the investment community and other stakeholders relating to the integrity of the Company's financial statements, the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting, the Company's compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, the independent auditor's qualification and independence, the performance of the Company's internal audit function and external auditors, and the effectiveness of the Company's risk management processes.
Comprising two independent Board members (and the minimum number of members amounts to two according to the Organizational Regulations), the AFRC in particular evaluates the work of the internal control functions (e.g., Internal Audit and Compliance) and of the external auditor, making proposals to the Board on the choice of the external auditor and, at the request of the Chief Financial Officer (the "CFO"), approving the budget for auditing and other fees from the external auditors.16 The AFRC also assesses the yearly business expenses of the members of the Group Executive Management. The organization, detailed responsibilities and reporting duties of the AFRC are stipulated in Appendix D and F of the Organizational Regulations.
The RemCo supports the Board of Directors in remuneration matters, ensuring that the Company's remuneration system shall be designed and operated to (a) achieve and realize the Company's and the Group's objectives, purpose and sustainable interests, (b) be consistent with sound financial, performance management, compliance and governance principles, as well as applicable laws and regulations, and (c) attract, motivate and retain talented employees with the necessary skills and qualities.
The RemCo consists of two independent Board members, in compliance with the Articles of Association and the Organizational Regulations which mandate a minimum of two members.17 The RemCo establishes and reviews the remuneration strategy and prepares the annual proposals to the shareholders' meeting regarding the maximum aggregate remuneration of the Board of Directors and the Group Executive Management, as well as the Remuneration Report. Further, the RemCo regularly reviews the remuneration scheme of the Group, the remuneration-related targets for the Group Executive Management and other members of senior management. The RemCo also reviews and proposes the individual remuneration of the Chair of the Board and other members of the Board. The organization, detailed responsibilities and reporting duties of the RemCo are stipulated in art. 19 of the Articles of Association and in Appendix C and F of the Organizational Regulations.
16 The external auditor is PwC (auditor of Landis+Gyr Group AG and of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Landis+Gyr Group). It conducts its audit in compliance with Swiss law and in accordance with Swiss auditing standards and auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAS).
17 In accordance with Swiss law and the Organizational Regulations, these members are elected each year by the shareholders' meeting. They serve for one year and may be re-elected for further terms.
Comprising four members of the Board of Directors (three is the minimum number of members as set forth in the Organizational Regulations), of which the majority is independent, the NGSC supports the Board of Directors with respect to matters relating to the corporate governance of the Company and the Group, sustainability matters (incl. ESG matters) of the Company and the Group as well as nomination- and compensationrelated matters. More particularly, the NGSC supports the Board in assessing the members of the Board, the Board Committees, CEO and the other members of the Group Executive Management with regard to (i) the nomination process, (ii) the succession planning, (iii) the performance review as well as (iv) the self-assessment of the Board and the Board Committees. The NGSC is further responsible for corporate governance matters, including but not limited to the review of the effectiveness of the Board, its Committees and individual members, the review of the size and composition of the Board and the review of the Corporate Governance report. In addition, the NGSC is responsible for sustainability matters, practices and procedures including the review of the Sustainability Report, and the setting of and monitoring of compliance with the Company's ESG targets and sustainability goals. The organization, detailed responsibilities and reporting duties of the NGSC are stipulated in Appendix E and F of the Organizational Regulations.
The Board of Directors meets regularly in accordance with the requirements of the Company and to fulfill its duties and responsibilities, usually bi-monthly in person, virtually or as a hybrid meeting, but at least four times a year. The Organizational Regulations stipulate that meetings take place at the request of the Chair, the Vice-Chair, or if applicable, the Lead Independent Director. In cases where the Vice-Chair or the Lead Independent Director are unable to call a meeting, any other Board member may call a meeting if done in writing and indicating the background and purpose of the request. According to art. 18 of the Articles, Board resolutions may also be passed via teleconference, or, unless a member calls for an oral deliberation, in writing by way of a circular or via electronic means.
The AFRC typically meets once every two to three months, but at least four times a year. Comprising independent Directors, the AFRC reports to the Board on its activities and decisions. The minutes of the meetings are made available to the members of the Board. The Internal Audit Head reports functionally to the AFRC. The Internal Audit Head is independent in his/her reporting and is not subject to any instructions. He/she shall have full and unrestricted reporting rights and obligations to the AFRC and the Internal Audit is independent in determining its activities. The Chief Compliance Officer, who reports functionally to the AFRC, and the Group Data Privacy Officer provide regular, independent reports to the CEO and to the AFRC and ad hoc reports whenever appropriate or requested by the AFRC. Both the Chief Compliance Officer and Group Data Protection Officer shall provide ad hoc, independent and unrestricted reports directly to the Board/AFRC with respect to significant Group compliance or Group data privacy issues or risks.
The RemCo typically meets once every two to three months, but at least four times a year. The Chair of the RemCo reports to the Board on its activities and decisions. The minutes of the meetings are made available to the members of the Board.
The NGSC typically meets once every two to three months, but at least four times a year. The Chair of the NGSC reports to the Board on its activities and decisions. The minutes of the meetings are made available to the members of the Board.
In the 12 months preceding this Corporate Governance Report, the Board of Directors held eleven meetings, and various information sessions, including site visits. Four out of those eleven meetings were in-person meetings, whereas the remaining seven meetings were either hybrid meetings with some Directors attending in person and others via video conference, or full video conferences. The in-person meetings lasted for approximately nine hours on average (over one or two days), whereas the strategy session was conducted over two full days in September 2024, involving all Directors and some management members, including the Group Executive Management and the Extended Executive Management attending in person and other management members attending certain sessions via video conference. The meetings of the Board held via conference calls had an average duration of approximately three hours.

According to Swiss law, the Board of Directors is responsible for the ultimate direction and supervision of the Company. Art. 716a of the CO lists certain non-transferable and inalienable duties of the Board of Directors. In addition, the Board of Directors may pass resolutions on all matters that are not defined by Swiss law or the Articles as lying in the responsibility of the General Meeting.
In accordance with Swiss Law, the Articles and the Organizational Regulations, the Company's two main governing bodies allocate their tasks and responsibilities as set forth below.
The Board of Directors is entrusted with the ultimate direction of the Company as well as with the supervision of the management. This includes determining the strategy of the Group upon recommendation of the CEO and appointing the CEO and the other members of the Group Executive Management, as well as the Head of Global Internal Audit. The Board of Directors further determines the sustainability strategy of the Company and the Group, promoting a culture that encourages entrepreneurship and that is characterized by integrity, long-term thinking and responsibility.
Although pursuant to the Articles and the Organizational Regulations, the Board may, to the extent permitted by law, delegate various responsibilities to the CEO and the Group Executive Management, in line with arts. 16 and 17 of the Articles and the Organizational Regulations, it retains certain duties, such as the determination of the risk profile of the Group, monitoring risks and ensuring that fundamental policies and controls are in place for compliance with applicable law and regulations.19 Resolutions of the Board of Directors require the affirmative simple majority of the votes cast. Resolutions may also be taken by circular resolutions, which require the affirmative votes of the majority of the Directors, and by electronic means in accordance with applicable laws, always provided no Director requests an oral deliberation and further provided that more than 50% of the Directors cast a vote or give written or e-mail notice that they abstain. In the case of a tie on any issue, the Chair has the casting vote.
The Group Executive Management consists of the CEO, the CFO, the executive vice president America, and the executive vice president EMEA as well as any other member (if any) appointed to the Group Executive Management by the Board of Directors.20, 21 The CEO, in his/her duties, is assisted by the Group Executive Management and the Extended Executive Management. He/she is appointed and removed by the Board of Directors. The other Group Executive Management members are appointed and removed by the Board of Directors upon recommendation of the CEO. The Extended Executive Management is led by the CEO and consists of the Group Executive Management as well as other key functional leaders and direct reports to the CEO and appointed by the CEO, to ensure a full breadth of perspective and integrated business thinking as the basis for the CEO's and the Board's legally binding decision making. The Group Executive Management and the Extended Executive Management generally meet on a weekly basis.
19 The detailed description of these retained responsibilities and duties are stipulated in arts. 16 and 17 of the Articles.
20 See art. 11.1 of the Organization Regulations.
21 The CEO exercises those duties which the Board of Directors has delegated to management in accordance with the Company's Organization Regulations and Swiss law.
At the invitation of the Board of Directors, members of the Group Executive Management and Extended Executive Management may attend Board meetings and report on significant projects and events. However, the Board may limit their participation to relevant meetings or parts of meetings. In addition, the Board may meet in private sessions, i.e., without management presence.
To ensure the Board of Directors receives timely information on material matters involving the Group's business, the members of the Group Executive Management and Extended Executive Management report to the Board and its committees before or at every meeting, including information regarding strategic, financial, risk and compliance matters. The Head of Global Internal Audit and the Chief Compliance Officer and the Group Data Privacy Officer also make regular reports to the Board or its committees. In addition, the Chair acts as liaison between the Board and management and in this capacity has regular interactions with the CEO, other members of the Group Executive Management and the Group General Counsel. The Lead Independent Director has regular interactions with the CEO and the Senior Vice President of Global Human Resources, the Chair of the NGSC has regular interaction with the Group General Counsel and the Senior Vice President of Global Human Resources, and the Chair of the AFRC has regular interactions with the CFO and the Head of Global Internal Audit.
In addition to reviewing and approving the Group's comprehensive annual risk assessment process, the Board and its committees are updated regularly by members of the Group Executive Management and Extended Executive Management on all key risks facing the Group, such as quality issues, the progress of major customer projects, the progress of research and development projects and other risk areas as they are identified, i.e., cyber security risks or compliance risks.
Other reports to the Board include, among others, but are not limited to information and updates about regional market performances and portfolios, technology, strategic projects and options, i.e., M&A projects and market developments, investor relations, legal and compliance, HR, ESG activities of the Group and financial information, such as the balance sheet, the income and cash flow statements, and key figures for the Company and its segments. The reports incorporate comments on the respective business results and a forecast of the key figures. The CEO and CFO report at every Board meeting on business developments and all matters relevant to the Company, including competitor activities and emerging opportunities and threats. Furthermore, the Board reviews and approves major customer contracts that exceed a certain value or have particular risk characteristics. During the Board meetings, the Chairs of the AFRC, the RemCo and the NGSC also report on all matters discussed by their committees and on the key findings and assessments, and they submit proposals accordingly. Each year, the Board of Directors discusses and approves the budget for the following year and the five-year mid-term plan.
The Board's responsibility includes defining the fundamentals of and monitoring the effectiveness of an Internal Control System (the "ICS") relevant to the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The ICS ensures the implementation of appropriate procedures and measures to identify and monitor the main financial risks to which the Company is exposed. In particular, the aim of the ICS is to ensure the integrity and completeness of accounting, to provide timely and reliable financial reporting, and to prevent, minimize and identify errors and irregularities in the financial statements.
In order to achieve these objectives, Group companies in scope for external audit are determined annually. Hence, it is ensured that approximately 80% of the revenue and of total assets of the Group are covered. The external audit confirms the existence of the ICS in connection with the year-end audit. Additionally, the external auditor submits improvement suggestions on a yearly basis, which are implemented in the following year.
The internal audits are conducted by the internal audit function in accordance with an annual plan approved by the AFRC. A distinction is made between regular and special engagement audits. The latter consist of limited reviews, compliance audits and other special engagements that are incident-specific and upon request of senior management, the AFRC or the Board. In all cases, internal audit engagements are approved by the AFRC. Regular audits, defined as part of the risk-based annual internal audit plan, focus on the larger entities and higher risk areas. Detailed reports of identified deficiencies are prepared (with deficiencies classified as either high, medium or low risk) and remedial action plans are agreed with management. The risks and deficiencies identified in these audits are minimized or mitigated by measures adopted by management and are regularly monitored. In the financial year 2024, 16 internal audits were conducted. The internal audits were restricted to selected business processes. In its review of audited Group companies and organizations, risks and control deficiencies in connection with the abovementioned business processes were analyzed. Internal audit reports are submitted to the AFRC and reviewed by the AFRC with the Head of Global Internal Audit at least four times per year. The implementation and reliability of the controls introduced with the ICS were examined by the Group and regional management to ensure that deviations were identified and that appropriate corrective measures were implemented.
The NGSC supports the Board in all matters that relate to nominations, governance and sustainability. In this capacity, the NGSC reviews current corporate governance matters but also the CEO and GEM performance review and succession plan. The NGSC further determines the Group's ESG framework and long-term ambitions and targets for approval of the full Board and regularly reviews and discusses progress. Within the context of the annual Board Self-Assessment process run by the NGSC, the Board also reviews its own performance and the performance of the Committees as well as the cooperation with the CEO and the Group Executive Management and identifies improvement opportunities. The NGSC also identifies training and education options for the Board and also for the Group Executive Management and ensures adequate training sessions.
As of March 31, 2025, the Board of Directors has 62.5% male and 37.5% female members, thus meeting the Company's target of at least 30% female representation on the Board of Directors.
During 2024, a significant proportion of the Nomination, Governance and Sustainability Committee's (NGSC) time was spent overseeing changes to the Group Executive Management structure. The NGSC oversaw and recommended to the Board the appointment of Robert Evans, EVP and Head of EMEA, with effect from November 2024, and Prasanna Venkatesan, EVP and Head of Americas, with effect from December 2024.
The NGSC also managed the selection process for the CEO that led to the appointment of Peter Mainz being approved by the Board in November 2024. Peter was considered to be the ideal succession solution to replace Werner Lieberherr, as an existing member of the Board of Directors of Landis+Gyr since 2018. He also served as the former President and CEO of a competitor for many years, giving him a deep knowledge of the global industry and its challenges.
An orderly succession process and candidate review was also carried out by the NGSC to replace Elodie Carr-Cingari, CFO, given her departure from Landis+Gyr on March 15, 2025. The NGSC managed the search and selection process for a new CFO that led to the Board approving the appointment of Davinder Athwal, as CFO, effective from April 1, 2025. It is considered that his existing skills and experience will complement and add to the Group Executive Management team.
The Group Executive Management under the control of the CEO conducts the operational management of the Company pursuant to the Organizational Regulations. The CEO reports to the Board of Directors on a regular basis.
As of March 31, 2025, the Group Executive Management comprised 3 executives. Davinder Athwal joins as the new CFO on April 1, 2025. The following table sets forth the name, position, and year of appointment of the present and past members of the Group Executive Management.
Members of the Group Executive Management as at March 31, 2025:
| Name | Position | Year of Appointment |

With the approval of the Nomination, Governance and Sustainability Committee, the members of the Executive Management may have up to 3 additional mandates in legal entities (whereof up to 1 mandate may be in a publicly traded company pursuant to art. 727 para. 1 number 1 CO). Mandates shall mean mandates in comparable functions at other enterprises with an economic purpose. Mandates in different legal entities that are under uniform control, or the same beneficial ownership are deemed one mandate. Mandates in companies which are controlled by the Company, or which control the Company, are not subject to the limitations set forth in art. 23 of the Articles.
All members of the Group Executive Management combined currently have one outside mandate at other companies (see Section 4.1 above for further information). To ensure compliance, the Group Executive Management must secure approval from the NGSC before accepting any new mandate.
There are no management contracts in place between the Company and any third parties.
The remuneration programs within Landis+Gyr are periodically reviewed to ensure continued alignment with the Group's strategy and market practice. Rules regarding the principles of compensation, participation plans, loans, credits and pension benefits are set in arts. 24, 25, 26, 28 and 29 of the Articles. The rules regarding the approval of the remuneration by the AGM are set forth in art. 12 of the Articles. Further details with respect to all matters regarding compensation, the shareholdings and loans to active and former members of the Board of Directors and the Group Executive Management in FY 2024 can be found in the Company's Remuneration Report.
Shareholders' rights of participation in the General Meeting are defined by law and the Articles. Each share, provided it is recorded in the share register as a share with voting rights, entitles the holder to one vote. Subject to the registration of shares, the Articles do not impose any restrictions on the voting rights of shareholders. Votes may be exercised only after a shareholder has been registered in the Company's share register as a shareholder with voting rights up to a specific qualifying day (the "Record Date") designated by the Board of Directors before the General Meeting. The defined Record Date can be found in the Invitation to a General Meeting of Shareholders to be published in the Swiss Official Gazette of Commerce (Schweizerisches Handelsamtsblatt) and viewed online at: www.landisgyr.com/investors/annual-general-meeting/ → Investors → Annual General Meeting.
The potential restrictions on the voting rights carried by the shares of the Company are described in detail in Section 2.6 above. In accordance with art. 5 of the Articles (as described in Section 2.6), the Company may in special cases approve exceptions to the restrictions described in Section 2.6 above. No such exceptions were granted in the period under review herein.
No exceptions from the voting rights restrictions set forth in the Articles were granted in the period under review herein.
The abolishing of voting rights restrictions as set forth in the Articles requires a resolution of the General Meeting passed by at least two-thirds of the represented share votes and absolute majority of the par value of represented shares (see art. 13 of the Articles).
Pursuant to the Articles, shareholders may be represented at shareholders' meetings by an independent proxy or any other person who need not be a shareholder. The Board of Directors determines the requirements regarding proxies and voting instructions.
Shareholders may also be represented by the independent proxy at the General Meeting. The requirements that apply to powers of attorney and instructions are determined by the Board of Directors (art. 11 of the Articles). The independent proxy has a duty to exercise the voting rights assigned to him/her by shareholders in accordance with their instructions. The independent proxy is elected annually by the General Meeting. The term of office begins on the day of election and ends at the close of the next Ordinary General Meeting. Re-election is permitted. Swiss law allows for proxy instructions both in written as well as electronic form. Since the Company's IPO in 2017, instructions by shareholders to the independent proxy for participation in the General Meeting have been permissible both in written and electronic form.
The Board of Directors may determine that the General Meeting be held abroad or simultaneously at different locations, provided that the contributions of the participants are transmitted directly in video and audio to all venues, or that shareholders who are not present at the venue(s) of the General Meeting may exercise their rights by electronic means. The Board of Directors may at any time until June 22, 2026, provide that the General Meeting be held electronically without a venue (art. 8a of the Articles).
Art. 13 of the Articles requires a resolution of the General Meeting passed by at least two-thirds of the represented shares and an absolute majority of the par value of represented shares for the following items:
The Company's Articles do not differ from applicable Swiss statutory provisions under Swiss law. The Board of Directors is required to convene an extraordinary General Meeting within two months if requested by one or more shareholder(s) representing in aggregate at least 5% of the Company's nominal share capital registered in the commercial register. Shareholders' meetings may also be convened by the Board of Directors or, if necessary, by the Company's statutory auditors or liquidators under Swiss law.
The General Meeting is convened by publication of a notice of such meeting in the Swiss Official Gazette of Commerce (Schweizerisches Handelsamtsblatt) at least 20 calendar days before the date of the meeting. If the post or e-mail addresses of the shareholders are known, a notice is sent simultaneously by mail or e-mail. The notice states the day, time and place of the meeting, the agenda, the proposals of the Board of Directors and the proposals of the shareholders who have requested the shareholders' meeting or that an item be included on the agenda.
Registered shareholders with voting rights individually or jointly representing at least CHF 1 million of the nominal share capital of the Company may demand that items be put on the agenda. Such demands must be submitted to the Chair at least 45 days before the date of the shareholders' meeting and must specify the items and the proposals in writing.
The Record Date (see above, Section 6.1.1) is set by the Board of Directors and included in the invitation to the General Meeting.
The Articles do not contain any provisions on opting-out or opting-in in the sense of art. 125 para. 3 and 4 of the FMIA or art. 135 para. 1 of the FMIA, respectively.
There are no agreements in place containing change of control clauses benefiting members of the Board of Directors and/or the Group Executive Management as well as other members of the Company's management.
The independent group auditor of the Company is PricewaterhouseCoopers AG (PwC), Dammstrasse 21, 6302 Zug, Switzerland, who has been the auditor of the Company since financial year 2016 (April 1, 2016 to March 31, 2017). The lead audit partner is rotated every seven years in accordance with Swiss law. The responsible lead audit partner within PwC is Patrick Balkanyi, who has been in charge of the Landis+Gyr mandate since 2023.
PwC was paid compensation of CHF 1.4 million for services in connection with auditing the annual financial statements of the Company and the consolidated statements of the Group for FY 2024.
PwC charged CHF 0.1 million for non-audit services performed during the year-ended March 31, 2025. The non-audit services primarily included tax advisory services.
PwC presents to the AFRC, on an annual basis, a detailed report on the results of the audit of the consolidated and standalone financial statements, the findings on significant accounting and reporting matters, and findings on the internal control system. The results and findings of this report are discussed in detail with the CFO.
The AFRC reviews annually the appropriateness of retaining PwC as the auditor of the Landis+Gyr Group AG and its subsidiaries, before proposing to the Board and to the AGM of Landis+Gyr Group AG the election of PwC as auditors. The AFRC assesses the effectiveness of the work of the auditor in accordance with Swiss law, based on its understanding of the Group's business, control, accounting and reporting issues, and the manner in which significant matters are identified and resolved at the Group level or in the statutory accounts. It also makes a recommendation to the Board of Directors concerning the choice of the external auditor.
The AFRC is also informed on the work of PwC through briefings from its Chair, who is in turn briefed as required by PwC. Audit fees are ultimately approved by the AFRC.
In the period under review, PwC attended three meetings of the AFRC at which PwC presented its report on the audit of the Group's accounts for the FY 2023 and the audit plan for the audit of the Group's accounts for the FY 2024.
The Group and PwC have agreed on clear guidelines and firewalls for non-audit services that are appropriate for PwC to provide. These services include due diligence on mergers, acquisitions and disposals and certain tax and business risk assurance and IS/IT advisory support. These guidelines are aimed at ensuring PwC's independence in their capacity as auditors to the Group. PwC monitors its independence throughout the year and confirms its independence to the AFRC annually.22

The Company's "Insider Dealing and Market Manipulation Policy" (the "Trading Policy") generally allows Landis+Gyr personnel to deal in Landis+Gyr securities at all times (i.e., without any sort of limitation to deal in Landis+Gyr securities). There are four groups excepted from such general rule: "Insiders"; "Persons Confined to Trading Windows"; "Restricted Persons"; "LTIP Participants" (all as defined in the Insider Policy).
Insiders are restricted from dealing in Landis+Gyr securities at all times as long as they qualify as Insiders. Persons Confined to Trading Windows, Restricted Persons and LTIP Participants are (besides further specific restrictions to their liberty to deal in Landis+Gyr securities and provided they are not an Insider) only allowed to deal in Landis+Gyr securities provided there is an open "Trading Window".
A "Trading Window" is defined as a period of time announced by the CEO or CFO and the Group General Counsel during which a Person Confined to Trading Windows, a Restricted Person or LTIP Participant may Deal in Landis+Gyr Securities or Restricted Securities (specific non-Landis+Gyr securities determined by the Landis+Gyr ad hoc committee), subject to further conditions as set out in the Insider Policy. Subject to the actual Trading Window being announced for the given period, generally a Trading Window shall commence on the start of the second trading day following the public release of Landis+Gyr's annual results and end with the start of 1 September (at 00:00.00 local time). A further Trading Window shall commence on the start of the second trading day following the public release of Landis+Gyr's semi-annual results and end with the start of 1 March (at 00:00.00 local time). The general Trading Window may be subject to change for future instances by announcement of the CEO or CFO and the Group General Counsel. Persons Confined to Trading Windows, Restricted Persons and LTIP Participants will be informed of open Trading Windows by e-mail.
For FY 2024, Landis+Gyr's Trading Windows, therefore, were the following:
Engaging with shareholders and other stakeholders is a top priority for Landis+Gyr and the Board of Directors. Since 2019, the Chair together with the Lead Independent Director have held a Corporate Governance Roadshow every year. They engage with shareholders and proxy advisors to discuss and understand their opinions and per spectives on the corporate governance, remuneration and sustainability practices of the Company. This year, the Corporate Governance Roadshow also focused on the Board of Directors' decision to review actions to drive value creation for all stakehold ers. In particular discussions focused on (1) the attractiveness of the Americas region and Landis+Gyr's plans to pool its resources and increase its focus on the market; (2) the Strategic Review of the EMEA business; and (3) a potential US listing over the medium-term.
The comprehensive feedback from these constructive dialogues is shared with the entire Board of Directors and has resulted in various improvements in the Company's best practices and the decisions taken by the Board with respect to the three Strategic Initiatives that will remain a key area of focus for the Board throughout the upcoming year.

The Board of Directors thanks the Company's shareholders, customers and other stakeholders for their interest in and support of the Company.

Dear Shareholders, On behalf of the Board of Directors and the Remuneration Committee, I am pleased to introduce Landis+Gyr's Remuneration Report for the financial year ended March 31, 2025.
The Remuneration Report explains Landis+Gyr's remuneration system and its governance, as well as how the performance results impacted the variable incentive payments to the Group Executive Management in their remuneration plans.
At the last Annual General Meeting ("AGM") in 2024, binding votes were conducted on the maximum aggregate remuneration amounts for the Board of Directors and the Group Executive Management, with approval rates of 93.8% and 93.5%, respectively. Further, the consultative vote on the Remuneration Report achieved an approval rate of 86.4%.
As in previous years, representatives of the Board of Directors continued to engage directly with Landis+Gyr shareholders and other stakeholders through several governance roadshow meetings. The input received was considered in the ongoing evaluation of our remuneration systems and programs, with the aim of keeping our incentive plans in line with Landis+Gyr's business strategy and shareholders' interests. We are confident that our current structures and processes are in alignment with market standards and effectively support our compensation strategy to attract, motivate and retain the right talent. In further addressing feedback received, we have continued to enhance our disclosures related to the performance outcome under both our Short- and Long-Term Incentive Plans in this year's Remuneration Report.
The outcome of the Short-Term Incentive Plan reflects both the financial performance achieved as well as the continued progress made in driving our ESG targets and delivering on our sustainability commitments in financial year 2024.
Financial performance was measured against net sales, adjusted EBITDA and operating cash flow less taxes paid, and the outcome at group level for financial year 2024 reflects achievements above threshold but below target for all three performance measures.
In our share-based Long-Term Incentive Plan, we continue to measure performance against relative total shareholder return and earnings per share. For the grant made in 2022, shares will be allocated upon the vesting date at the end of the first quarter of the financial year 2025, with the performance period covering the three financial years from 2022 to 2024. The outcome of the 2022 plan reflects achievements above threshold but below target levels for both performance measures.
As disclosed last year in the Remuneration Report 2023, the Board of Directors was planning to include ESG targets in the Long-Term Incentive Plan as of financial year 2025. The intention was to include GHG emission-reduction targets, with a clear long-term focus on Scope 3 emissions. However, after further review and extensive discussions, the Board of Directors took the decision to postpone this introduction, given the initiated strategic transformation, which does not allow for setting meaningful incentive related multi-year emissions reduction targets at this time. The Company remains fully committed to its ESG roadmap and priorities, including its Science-Based Targets validated in 2023. These targets are being advanced through a range of measures detailed in the Sustainability Report and form a core element of our sustainability strategy for the 2025 to 2027 cycle.
Further, the Remuneration Committee conducted its regular activities during the past year, including the preparation of the Remuneration Report and the say-on-pay votes for the AGM. At the upcoming AGM in June 2025, we will ask for your approval of the maximum aggregate remuneration amount to be awarded to the Board of Directors for the 2025/2026 term of office and to the Group Executive Management for the financial year 2026 ending on March 31, 2027. In addition, you will again have the opportunity to express your opinion on our remuneration principles and systems through a consultative vote on this Remuneration Report 2024.
We encourage and pursue open and regular dialogue with our shareholders and their representatives, as we continue to evolve our remuneration system, with the goal of ensuring continued alignment with the strategy and performance of Landis+Gyr and the interests of our shareholders. On behalf of the Board of Directors and the Remuneration Committee, I would like to thank you again for your feedback and ongoing support.
Laureen Tolson
Chair of the Remuneration Committee and Member of the Board of Directors Cham, May 2025
The Remuneration Report provides a comprehensive overview of Landis+Gyr's (Landis+Gyr Group AG defined as the "Company", and its subsidiaries, together the "Group") remuneration governance and principles, structure and elements. The Remuneration Report also includes information on the remuneration awarded to members of the Board of Directors ("Board") and Group Executive Management ("GEM") for the financial year ("FY") ended March 31, 2025 ("FY 2024").
The Remuneration Report is written in accordance with the Swiss Code of Obligations, specifically Articles 734a–734f, the standard relating to information on Corporate Governance of the SIX Swiss Exchange, and the principles of the Swiss Code of Best Practice for Corporate Governance of economiesuisse.
Shareholders of Swiss listed companies have significant influence on the remuneration of governing bodies and annually approve the maximum aggregate remuneration for the members of such governing bodies. In addition, the principles governing remuneration must be defined in a company's articles of association, which are also subject to shareholder approval.
Landis+Gyr's Articles of Association include the principles governing remuneration (specifically art. 12, 25, 26, 28 and 29) and can be viewed online at: www.landisgyr.com/about/executive-management-and-board/ ➝ Corporate Governance Documents ➝ Articles of Association. The key provisions are summarized below:
– Additional amount for new members of the GEM (art. 29): If the maximum aggregate remuneration already approved by the AGM is not sufficient to cover the remuneration for incoming GEM members in the respective financial year, the Company may pay an additional amount in each case of up to 30% of the maximum aggregate remuneration amount approved.
In line with the Company's Articles of Association, the Board will submit three separate remuneration-related resolutions for shareholder approval at the 2025 AGM as illustrated in Exhibit 1:
EXHIBIT 1: SAY ON PAY – REMUNERATION-RELATED SHAREHOLDER APPROVALS

At the 2024 AGM held on June 25, 2024, shareholders approved a maximum aggregate remuneration amount for the Board for the 2024/2025 term of office of CHF 1.8 million, as well as the maximum aggregate amount of fixed and variable remuneration for members of the GEM for FY 2025 of CHF 8.5 million. In addition, shareholders approved the Remuneration Report 2023 in a consultative vote.
The estimated remuneration granted to the Board for the 2024/2025 term of office is CHF 1.6 million compared to the approved amount of CHF 1.8 million. An amount of CHF 5.1 million was granted to the GEM in FY 2024 compared to the approved amount of CHF 8.5 million. For a reconciliation of approved versus awarded amounts please refer to page 19.
As outlined in Exhibit 2, the Remuneration Committee acts in an advisory capacity while the Board retains the decision authority on remuneration matters relating to the Board and the GEM, except for the remuneration-related shareholder approvals for the Board and the GEM. Members of the Remuneration Committee are elected annually and individually by the shareholders at the respective Annual General Meeting. The Chair of the Remuneration Committee reports to the full Board after each meeting. The minutes of the meetings are made available to the members of the Board. The Remuneration Committee may invite the Chair of the Board to attend the meetings as a non-voting guest, but he is not present during meetings or parts of meetings during which his own remuneration is discussed. The CEO and the Head of HR may attend the Remuneration Committee meetings in an advisory function, but are excluded from certain discussions. The Chair of the Remuneration Committee may decide to invite other executives to attend the meetings as appropriate. No member of management attends the meetings or the part of the meetings in which their own performance or remuneration is discussed.
The Remuneration Committee may decide to consult an external advisor on specific remuneration matters. In FY 2024, HCM International AG ("HCM") was mandated as an independent advisor on Board and GEM remuneration matters. HCM does not have any other mandates with Landis+Gyr.

Landis+Gyr's remuneration programs are designed to recognize and reward performance, enabling the organization to attract, motivate and retain talented employees who drive performance and the achievement of business strategy and objectives as well as the creation of shareholder value.
The remuneration programs within Landis+Gyr are periodically reviewed to ensure continued alignment with the Group's strategy and market practice. They are built around the following principles:
| Principle | Description |
|---|---|
| Performance | Anchor Landis+Gyr's business strategy, drive results and sharpen the focus on long-term performance and incentivize and reward performance in a sustainable manner, also in alignment with the Company's ESG strategy. |
| Shareholder value | Align with shareholders' interests, drive creation of shareholder value and foster entrepreneurial thinking. |
| Talent management | Attract, motivate and retain talented employees who can drive world-class performance, and who are incentivized based on such performance. |
| Market orientation | Ensure a best practice remuneration system with competitive levels and structures, reflecting a sustainable balance between short-term and long-term performance focus. |
The remuneration for the Board and the target remuneration for the GEM take into account the roles and responsibilities, the respective experience required as well as current market pay practices. In addition, for the GEM, internal compensation structures as well as affordability are considered. To support remuneration recommendations to the Board, the Remuneration Committee periodically (every two to three years) benchmarks remuneration of the members of the Board and GEM against remuneration of comparable companies. For these purposes, the Remuneration Committee regards Swiss listed industrial and technology companies of comparable size to Landis+Gyr in terms of revenue as the most relevant reference group. For the Board benchmarking, this core reference group is expanded with a selection of cross-industry Swiss listed companies of comparable size (excluding financial services companies) to create a sufficiently broad and representative comparison. For the GEM, the reference group may be further extended with international peers as required to reflect global pay practices and talent markets.
The remuneration for both the Board and the GEM was last benchmarked in FY 2023, therefore the Board and the Remuneration Committee decided not to undertake a further in-depth analysis in FY 2024. For the last Board benchmarking, a reference group of 33 Swiss listed companies1 was used, with the benchmark focusing not only on remuneration levels, but also considering fee structure and pay instruments. The analysis of the benchmark showed that the Board remuneration system and structure are aligned with the
1 The companies included in the reference group in FY 2023 for the purpose of Board benchmarking were: Aevis, Arbonia, Autoneum, Aryzta, BKW, Bossard, Bucher, Bystronic, Daetwyler, Dormakaba, EMS-Chemie, Flughafen Zuerich, Forbo, Geberit, Huber+Suhner, Implenia, Mobilezone, Montana, Oerlikon, Pierer Mobility, Rieter, Schweiter, SFS, Siegfried, SIG, SoftwareOne, Sonova, Stadler Rail, Straumann, Sulzer, Tecan, VAT, Zur Rose.
market, supporting the Board's decision not to make any changes to the Board fee structure at present. A benchmark examining remuneration levels and structure for the GEM, carried out in FY 2023, considered a reference group of 18 Swiss listed industrial and technology companies1. This analysis showed that GEM remuneration levels are generally aligned with market and gaps in total compensation were addressed through modest increases to the long-term incentive plan grants made in July 2024.
To ensure its independence in fulfilling its supervisory duties, the remuneration of the Board is fixed and does not contain any variable component.
The Chair of the Board receives a fixed annual base fee of CHF 400,000 and a lump sum for expenses. The Chair is not entitled to compensation for assuming additional committee responsibilities. Due to his previous long-standing employment relationship with Landis+Gyr, during which he was continuously covered under the collective pension scheme offered by Landis+Gyr in Switzerland, and in accordance with the requirements of Swiss pension regulations, the pension cover was subsequently continued under the terms of his directorship with the Company, under the provision that all contributions, including the employer portion, are to be funded by the Chair himself. This ensures that the Company does not incur costs for pension fund contributions in addition to the Chair's fixed base fee of CHF 400,000. The actual base fee payment to the Chair is therefore reduced by the amount remitted by the Company into the pension scheme representing the employer pension contributions. If the level of these contributions changes, based on the regulations of the pension scheme, the actual base fee payment is adjusted accordingly. In FY 2024 the Company paid CHF 36,448 (FY 2023: CHF 36,196) in employer pension contributions for the Chair, which were deducted accordingly from the Chair's base fee payment.
Other members of the Board receive a fixed annual base fee and fixed fees for membership of Board committees, as well as a lump sum for expenses. Participation in the Swiss pension scheme may apply, to the extent legally required, with the corresponding employer contributions included in the base and committee fees paid as per Exhibit 5 below. In FY 2024 no other members of the Board participated in the Swiss pension scheme.
The amounts of the base fee and committee membership fees, as illustrated in Exhibit 5, reflect the responsibility and time requirement inherent to the respective function and remained the same in FY 2024 compared to FY 2023. The fee level for the newly introduced Vice-Chair role is at the same level as that of the Lead Independent Director. The base fee and committee membership fee are paid 65% in cash and 35% in Company shares, which are blocked for sale for a period of three years from the date of grant. The cash portion of the base fee and committee membership fee is paid monthly; the share portion is granted in four quarterly instalments, with each instalment blocked for three years from the date of its grant. Should a Board member resign before completion of the respective term of office, that member is entitled to the respective pro-rata remuneration, and any shares already received that are in excess of the pro-rata entitlement are to be re-transferred to the Company. All granted shares remain blocked until the end of the respective blocking period. Should a Board member not stand for re-election, or not be re-elected following completion of the previous term of office, already granted shares also remain blocked until the end of the respective blocking period. In the event of a change of control, the blocking period on the shares is lifted.

1 The base fee for the Chair is CHF 400,000 (no change compared to FY 2023); CHF 36,448 of the base fee was deducted in FY 2024 (FY 2023: CHF 36,196) as the Chair is financing the entire cost of the pension cover himself, including the Company contribution, by way of a reduction to the base fee. The split of the base fee into 65% cash and 35% shares is applied to the base fee after the deduction of the Company pension contributions.
1 The Swiss listed industrial companies included in the GEM benchmarking reference group in FY 2023 were: Arbonia, Bossard, Bucher, Bystronic, Daetwyler, Dormakaba, Geberit, Implenia, Montana, Oerlikon, Rieter, Schweiter, SFS, SIG, SoftwareOne, Stadler Rail, Sulzer, VAT.

Base salary is the fixed remuneration paid to employees for carrying out their role and is established considering the following factors:
The base salary is paid out to GEM members in twelve equal monthly cash instalments.
The purpose of pension benefits is to provide security for employees and their dependents in the event of retirement, sickness, inability to work and death. The GEM members participate in the social insurance and pension plans in the countries where their employment contracts were entered into. The plans vary according to local market practice and legislation; at a minimum they reflect the statutory requirements of the respective countries. In line with local employment practice for Swiss employees, GEM members under Swiss employment contracts are covered by a supplementary non-compulsory occupational welfare plan in addition to the Company's compulsory occupational pension scheme.
In addition, Landis+Gyr aims to provide competitive employee benefits. Benefits are considered from a global perspective, while appropriately reflecting differing local market practice and employment conditions.
For the GEM members, benefits include local market benefits such as company car or car allowance, health cover, etc. and, where relevant, international benefits such as tax advisory services. Further, to the extent applicable, replacement awards to incoming GEM members to compensate, generally on a "like-for-like" basis, for remuneration forfeited at the previous employer as a result of joining Landis+Gyr are reported as "other benefits". The monetary value of these remuneration elements is evaluated at fair value and disclosed in the remuneration table.
Landis+Gyr's benefits structure also includes the ESPP, which was introduced in FY 2022. Under the ESPP, employees at all levels of the organization may purchase Landis+Gyr shares at a price below the market price prevailing at the time of purchase. Minimum and maximum purchase levels apply and the purchased shares are subject to a blocking period, during which the shares may not be sold. To the extent that members of the GEM participate in the ESPP, the value of the discount granted is included as remuneration in the remuneration table under "Other benefits".
The STIP is an annual cash incentive plan, containing both financial as well as nonfinancial performance considerations. The purpose of the STIP is to motivate eligible participants to deliver outstanding performance and increased contribution towards Landis+Gyr's success.
Plan participants are incentivized based on the achievement of global and (if relevant) regional financial performance targets, as well as quantitative ESG targets related to Landis+Gyr's ESG strategy. The financial performance targets correlate with the midterm plan and long-term strategy and are aligned with business priorities, with the aim of achieving sustainable profitability and growth in alignment with shareholders' interests. The financial performance targets account for 80% of the individual target incentive amount and the ESG performance targets for 20%. ESG performance targets are defined based on the material topics resulting directly from Landis+Gyr's ESG strategy and roadmap. The targets for FY 2024 were set based on the seven equally weighted key performance indicators ("KPIs") as detailed in Exhibit 7 and focus on the reduction of the carbon footprint of the Company and its product portfolio, as well as enabling a positive environmental impact through our products and solutions, promoting ESG-driven supplier management, driving employee learning initiatives, promoting gender balance and improving cybersecurity maturity.
Both the financial as well as the ESG performance targets are determined by the Board at the beginning of each financial year. These targets represent commercially sensitive information and are therefore not disclosed, whereas additional information on the ESG KPIs is provided in Exhibit 7. Information on the realized payout for FY 2024 is provided on page 14.
Payouts under the STIP are calculated based on the achievement level of the respective performance targets, with 100% achievement resulting in 100% payout. For each financial performance target, minimum threshold performance levels, below which there is no payout, as well as maximum performance levels, at which payout is capped at 200%, apply. Linear interpolation is used to calculate the payout between threshold and target, and target and maximum. Similarly, for each ESG performance target respective threshold, target and maximum performance levels are defined, with the final payout for the ESG component determined based on the achievement of the seven equally weighted targets. Total payout under the STIP can range from 0% to 200% of the target incentive amount. For FY 2024, the individual target incentive amount for the newly appointed CEO corresponds to 75% (FY 2023: 75%) of base salary and for the other members of the GEM on average to 67% (FY 2023: 67%) of base salary. The maximum payout amount for the CEO is hence equivalent to 150% of base salary (FY 2023: 150%) and for other members of the GEM on average to 133% of base salary (FY 2023: 133%).
In case of termination of employment during the performance period, the STIP payout may be reduced or forfeited depending on the conditions of such termination and subject to applicable law. In addition, clawback provisions apply as detailed on page 11.
For FY 2024, the STIP scorecard for the GEM comprised both financial and non-financial performance targets, measured using the KPIs as detailed in Exhibit 7.

With respect to the financial KPIs, for the CEO and CFO 100% Group results are considered when determining the level of performance. For the GEM members with regional responsibility, 50% Group and 50% respective regional results are evaluated, with the financial KPIs correspondingly assessed at both the global and regional level. The ESG KPIs are assessed at the global level for all participants.
The current LTIP, under which the first grant was made in FY 2018, is a share-based incentive plan measured over a three-year performance period, representing three financial years. Its purpose is to foster long-term value creation for the Group by providing the members of the GEM and other eligible key managers with the possibility:
For the purpose of the LTIP, the measurement of Landis+Gyr's long-term performance comprises two equally weighted KPIs:

The vesting curves for each KPI under the LTIP are defined to support the symmetrical performance and payout situations below and above the target and allow for a realistic performance-related chance to realize vesting.
Relative TSR performance is measured against a custom peer group of 24 Swiss and international organizations1 operating in comparable industries to Landis+Gyr and representing the markets that are relevant for Landis+Gyr. The peer group remained constistent in FY 2024 as compared to FY 2023.
Landis+Gyr's TSR performance is assessed as a three-year average percentile rank compared to the peer group. For each company in the peer group, the relative TSR is calculated considering not only the variation of the closing prices over the three-year performance period, but also the dividends distributed in the same period, assuming that at the time of distribution those dividends are reinvested in the shares of the respective company. All calculations related to TSR performance are done by an independent third-party company.
For the FY 2024 grant, 100% of the PSUs linked to the relative TSR performance will vest after the three-year performance period if Landis+Gyr is ranked at the median of the peer group. The maximum vesting multiple of 200% applies if the Landis+Gyr TSR is at or above the 75th percentile of the peer group. The vesting multiple of 0% applies should Landis+Gyr's TSR performance relative to the peers be at or below the 25th percentile of the peer group. Linear interpolation applies between the threshold, target and maximum performance levels. In addition, to allow for further performance alignment, if Landis+Gyr's absolute TSR attributable to the relevant three-year performance period is negative, the relative TSR vesting multiple will be capped at 100% regardless of whether Landis+Gyr outperforms the median of the peer group.
Exhibit 9 represents an illustration of the relative TSR vesting curve for the FY 2024 grant.

Landis+Gyr's 3-year average relative TSR percentile ranking vs. peer group
The three-year fully diluted net income EPS is calculated as the cumulative weighted sum of the reported net income fully diluted EPS attributable to shareholders for the financial years covered by the respective three-year performance period. In order to give more weight to the EPS achieved in the later years of the performance period, the EPS of each year is weighted as follows: The first financial year is weighted at 1/6, the second financial year at 2/6 and the third financial year at 3/6.
If the weighted EPS target is reached, 100% of the respective PSUs granted under the EPS KPI will vest. If the weighted EPS performance is at or above the maximum performance level, 200% of respective granted PSUs will vest. If the weighted EPS performance is at or below the threshold performance level, 0% of PSUs granted under the EPS KPI will vest. Linear interpolation applies between the threshold, target and maximum performance levels. Exhibit 10 represents an illustration of the weighted EPS vesting curve for the FY 2024 grant.


Landis+Gyr's 3-year weighted EPS performance achievement in % of target
Actual EPS targets are considered commercially sensitive information and communicating such targets would allow insight into the strategy of Landis+Gyr and may create a competitive disadvantage for the Company. Consequently, the decision was made not to disclose the specifics of those targets at the time of their setting, but to explain in more detail the process applied in setting EPS targets, and to subsequently disclose the target achievement at the end of the respective performance period, i.e., for the FY 2024 grant with the reporting for FY 2026.
EPS targets for each grant are set by the Board following a thorough outside-in approach conducted by the Remuneration Committee's independent external advisor. Investors' return expectations on market value, stock risk profile, investment projections and current profitability levels were taken as a starting point and translated into EPS targets, using multifactor valuation models and statistical analyses in order to establish an appropriate link between LTIP payouts and the value created for investors. No changes with regard to the methodology were made when determining EPS targets for the 2024 grant. The consistent application of this robust target setting approach helps achieve Landis+Gyr's goal of designing compensation elements with a realistic performance-based chance to realize vesting and to balance perceived riskiness and value of the plan for participants. The results of the outside-in approach were assessed against historical company performance, as well as equity analysts' expectations and strategic plan as suggested by management, to reinforce the Remuneration Committee's and Board's confidence in the overall quality and robustness of the EPS targets.
At the end of the vesting period, based on actual performance achieved, the resulting multiple of PSUs will be settled in ordinary shares of Landis+Gyr. Forfeiture rules in case of termination of employment before the end of the respective vesting period apply as summarized in Exhibit 11 and clawback provisions exist as detailed below.
| Termination reason | Vesting provisions | Early vesting | Vesting level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Death and disability | Pro-rata vesting | Yes | At target |
| Retirement | Pro-rata vesting | No | Based on actual performance |
| Termination without cause | Pro-rata vesting | No | Based on actual performance |
| Other termination reasons | Full forfeiture | n/a | n/a |
In addition, in the event of a change of control, early vesting on a pro-rata basis at target, i.e., without consideration of performance, applies.
Landis+Gyr's clawback provisions allow for partial or full recovery of performancebased cash or equity paid or vested to members of the GEM during the previous three financial years. These provisions apply in cases where the Company is required to make a material restatement to its accounts (due to fraud or error) as well as in the event of fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct, any serious breach of Landis+Gyr's code of business ethics and conduct or in the event of actions that caused serious reputational harm to the Company.
The members of the GEM are employed under contracts of unlimited duration with notice periods up to a maximum of twelve months. They are not contractually entitled to termination payments or any change of control provisions other than the early vesting of LTIP awards as mentioned above, which is applicable to all plan participants. Correspondingly, members of the GEM are not disproportionately advantaged by change of control provisions in comparison to any other employees. The employment contracts for the GEM may include non-competition agreements following the end of employment not exceeding a period of 12 months.

The section below is in line with the Swiss Code of Obligations, which requires disclosure of remuneration granted to members of the Board and GEM. Remuneration paid to members of the Board and to the highest paid member of the GEM is shown separately.
Exhibit 12 summarizes the remuneration paid to the Board for the full FY 2024. All Board members were re-elected at the 2024 AGM. Peter Mainz was appointed CEO of Landis+Gyr effective November 21, 2024. Exhibit 12 reflects the pro-rated Board remuneration for FY 2024 paid to him until his appointment as CEO. Further, Peter Bason, the representative of Kirkbi Invest A/S, which had been one of Landis+Gyr's major shareholders, stepped down from the Board at the Extraordinary General Meeting held on August 26, 2024 ("2024 EGM"). Peter Bason had waived all remu neration for his Board duties for the 2024/2025 term of office. Fabian Rauch was newly elected at the 2024 EGM as the representative of Spectrum Entrepreneurial Ownership (SEO), one of Landis+Gyr's major shareholders, and his remuneration is correspondingly included in Exhibit 12 on a pro-rated basis for FY 2024. In addition, Audrey Zibelmann was appointed Vice-Chair of the Board effective January 1, 2025, with her base fee adjusted to the same level as that of the Lead Independent Director as of that date.
Exhibit 13 summarizes the remuneration paid for the full FY 2023, including the pro-rated remuneration of Audrey Zibelman, who was newly elected at the 2023 AGM. Peter Bason, elected at the 2023 AGM as the new representative of Kirkbi Invest A/S (replacing Søren Thorup Sørensen), waived all remuneration for his Board duties for the 2023/2024 term of office.
In FY 2024 the Board received total remuneration of CHF 1,592,234 (FY 2023: CHF 1,499,820). There was no change to the Board fee levels in FY 2024 as compared to FY 2023. The difference in total remuneration in FY 2024 as compared to FY 2023 is due to the reasons as explained above.

For FY 2024, the members of the GEM received base salary, variable remuneration and pension and other benefits, in line with the remuneration system, as detailed in Exhibit 6.
For the Group as a whole, as illustrated in Exhibit 14, FY 2024 results related to the financial performance targets represent achievement above threshold, but below the respective target for all three KPIs.

At a regional level, the varying KPI performance on the financial targets resulted in an overall payout factor below target for all three regions. Performance was generally above threshold, except for operating cash flow less taxes paid in the Americas and Asia Pacific, and adjusted EBITDA in EMEA, which came in below threshold.
In FY 2024 Landis+Gyr continued to drive forward its ESG priorities and roadmaps, managing to meet or exceed most of the targets, as reflected in Exhibit 15. Among other successful activities, the Group continued to reduce its carbon footprint, expand its green product offerings, and focus its efforts on further improving cybersecurity maturity.

At Group level, the resulting weighted payout factor related to the financial performance targets, which account for 80% of the target incentive amount, amounts to 41.4%. The resulting weighted payout factor related to the ESG performance targets, accounting for 20% of the target incentive amount, amounts to 29.0%.
The overall payout for both financial and non-financial performance targets is 70.4% of the STIP target incentive amount for the CEO (FY 2023: 155.0%) and between 61.1% and 68.6% of the STIP target incentive amounts for the other members of the GEM (FY 2023: 110.7% to 160.6%). No discretion was applied by the Board when quantifying the outcome of the STIP for FY 2024.
In FY 2024, GEM members received total remuneration of CHF 5,104,548 (FY 2023: CHF 6,203,253). This is an overall decrease of 18% compared to the previous year, with the main changes explained in the following sections below.
| Remuneration elements | Members of the GEM2 | Highest remuneration Werner Lieberherr, departed CEO |

| Total remuneration | 6,203,253 | 2,692,672 |
The following explanatory comments can be given with regard to the changes compared to prior year:
Composition of the GEM: Exhibit 16 includes remuneration paid in FY 2024 to seven members of the GEM, including for departed and incoming GEM members. The highest remuneration for FY 2024 was awarded to Werner Lieberherr, the CEO until November 20, 2024, and whose employment ended effective March 16, 2025, with his remuneration for FY 2024 correspondingly included until such date. The new CEO, Peter Mainz, was appointed on November 21, 2024. His pro-rata remuneration for FY 2024 as of that date is accordingly reflected in Exhibit 16 under "Members of the GEM". The CFO's appointment to the GEM and her employment ended on March 15, 2025, with her remuneration for FY 2024 correspondingly included until such date. Exhibit 16 further includes the pro-rata remuneration for FY 2024 for the new Head of EMEA, appointed on November 1, 2024, and the new Head of Americas, appointed on December 10, 2024. Both held other roles within Landis+Gyr prior to their appointments to the GEM. The full-year FY 2024 remuneration for the departed Head of EMEA, who stepped down from the GEM as of November 1, 2024, and whose employment ended on March 31, 2025, and the pro-rata remuneration for the departed Head of Americas, whose appointment to the GEM and employment ended on December 9, 2024, are also included in Exhibit 16 accordingly. Remuneration in FY 2023, as shown in Exhibit 17, reflects the full-year remuneration of four members of the GEM.
Base salary: The base salaries for the newly appointed GEM members are at comparable levels to those of their predecessors. The variation in base salary between FY 2024 as compared to FY 2023 is due to the changes to the composition of the GEM, as explained above. Further, as all GEM members, except for the departed CEO and CFO, are employed in countries other than Switzerland, there is some variance yearover-year due to exchange rate fluctuations between the CHF and the respective currrencies of the countries of employment, namely in FY 2024 the United States, Germany and the UK.
STIP: STIP target incentive amounts for the newly appointed GEM members are at levels comparable to those of their predecessors. The difference in payouts under the STIP between FY 2024 and FY 2023 reflects the achieved performance levels as well as the changes to the composition of the GEM during FY 2024, as described in the sections above. Further, respective forfeiture provisions in accordance with the plan were applied.
LTIP: As the changes to the GEM occured after the grant date of the FY 2024 LTIP, the GEM members appointed during the year will first become eligible for the LTIP related to their new roles as of FY 2025 grant. The disclosed grants were made to the four GEM members who were active at the time of the FY 2024 LTIP grant. Their grant amounts as compared to FY 2023 are somewhat impacted by the exchange rate differences described above, as well as the difference between the fair value at grant date and the 20-day volume-weighted average share price prior to grant date used to convert the target incentive amounts into PSUs, which was CHF 74.33 for the grant made in FY 2024 (FY 2023: CHF 79.61).
As illustrated in Exhibit 18, for FY 2024 the total variable remuneration, i.e., STIP and LTIP, for the GEM represents 38% of total remuneration received. For the departed CEO, the total variable remuneration represents 49% of his total remuneration and 97% of his total fixed remuneration, i.e., base salary, benefits, pension and social security. For the other members of the GEM, the total variable remuneration represents on average 30% of total remuneration and ranges from 35% to 49% of total fixed remuneration, reflecting the variation in achieved performance levels. As described in previous sections of the report, the target mix between variable STIP and LTIP in relation to fixed remuneration for the GEM balances short- and long-term performance in alignment with Landis+Gyr's remuneration strategy and shareholders' interests.

For the LTIP grant made in FY 2022, with the performance period covering the three financial years 2022 to 2024, the overall vesting multiple is 0.68. It is driven by two equally weighted KPIs, namely relative TSR and EPS. As illustrated in Exhibit 19, Landis+Gyr's three-year average relative TSR percentile rank in the peer group was above threshold but below median, resulting in a vesting multiple of 0.52 for the relative TSR component of the 2022 LTIP. The EPS performance, as illustrated in Exhibit 20, exceeded threshold but was below target, resulting in a vesting multiple of 0.84 for the EPS component of the 2022 LTIP. As EPS performance was affected by one-off items, primarily goodwill impairment, Brusa impairment and transformation expenses, the Board took the decision to normalize these one-off effects. Out of the 78,229 PSUs originally granted to plan participants in FY 2022, approximately 35,500 shares, including 2,408 for members of the GEM, will be allocated upon vesting in July 2025.

The members of the Board and GEM, including related parties, hold a total participation of 0.41% of the outstanding registered shares as of March 31, 2025 (0.43% as of March 31, 2024). This participation includes registered shares purchased as well as fully vested shares allocated in connection with the remuneration schemes and, for members of the Board, shares allocated in payment of part of their fees. However, unvested PSUs are not included.

As reflected in Exhibit 22, as at March 31, 2025, members of the GEM held a total of 9,430 unvested PSUs with respect to grants made under the LTIP. As at March 31, 2024, members of the GEM held a total of 56,632 unvested PSUs.
Shareholding guidelines were introduced for GEM members in FY 2018, which are designed to increase the alignment of the interests of GEM members and shareholders. The target ownership levels are defined based on the role and correspond to:
GEM members are expected to build up their shareholding to the targeted ownership levels within five years, from the introduction of the guidelines or appointment to the GEM, respectively. Given the recent appointment dates of new GEM members during FY 2024, the first validation of compliance with the shareholding guidelines is required at the end of FY 2029.
In total as of March 31, 2025, the equity overhang, defined as the total number of outstanding unvested PSUs divided by the total number of shares issued, amounts to 0.47% (as at March 31, 2024: 0.57%).
The company's gross burn rate defined as the total number of equities (shares and PSUs) granted in FY 2024 divided by the total number of shares issued amounts to 0.31% (FY 2023: 0.25%).
It is the Company's policy to settle all shares under the equity plans for the Board remuneration, the LTIP and the ESPP through existing treasury shares as well as additional shares purchased in the market, thereby not creating any dilution effect to shareholders.
As referenced on page 4, in accordance with art. 28 of the Articles of Association, Landis+Gyr Group AG may not grant loans to members of the Board or the GEM and hence did not do so during FY 2024. Correspondingly, no loans to members of the Board, the GEM or to closely related parties were outstanding as of March 31, 2025.
Disclosure on remuneration for FY 2024 covers members of the Board and the GEM as indicated, and for both includes related parties to the extent applicable. Such related parties cover spouses, partners, children and other dependents or closely linked persons. In FY 2024 no remuneration was paid to any related party.
During FY 2024, no remuneration was paid to former members of the Board or the GEM for their time as a member of such governing bodies, nor to any related parties. The remuneration paid to departed GEM members during FY 2024 is included in the FY 2024 remuneration table on page 15.
As at March 31, 2025, members of the Board and GEM held the following external mandates (unless noted otherwise, the mandate also applies as at March 31, 2024):

We have audited the remuneration report of Landis+Gyr Group AG (the Company) for the year ended 31 March 2025. The audit was limited to the information pursuant to article 734a -734f of the Swiss Code of Obligations (CO) in the tables marked 'audited' on pages 13 and 15 and pages 17 to 19 of the remuneration report.
In our opinion, the information pursuant to article 734a -734f CO in the accompanying remuneration report complies with Swiss law and the Company's articles of incorporation.
We conducted our audit in accordance with Swiss law and Swiss Standards on Auditing (SA -CH). Our responsibilities under those provisions and standards are further described in the 'Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the remuneration report' section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the provisions of Swiss law and the requirements of the Swiss audit profession, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
The Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, but does not include the tables marked 'audited' in the remuneration report, the consolidated financial statements, the financial statements and our auditor's reports thereon.
Our opinion on the remuneration report does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the remuneration report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the audited financial information in the remuneration report or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of a remuneration report in accordance with the provisions of Swiss law and the Company's articles of incorporation, and for such internal control as the Board of Directors determines is necessary to enable the preparation of a remuneration report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. It is also charged with structuring the remuneration principles and specifying the individual remuneration components.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the information pursuant to article 734a -734f CO is 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 Swiss law and SA -CH 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 this remuneration report.
As part of an audit in accordance with Swiss law and SA -CH, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

The following discussion of the financial condition and results of the operations of Landis+Gyr Group AG ("Landis+Gyr") and its subsidiaries (together, the "Company" or the "Group") should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP, and the related notes thereto included in this Financial Review. Due to rounding, the numbers presented may not add up to the totals provided.
This Financial Report contains non-GAAP measures of performance. Definitions of these measures and reconciliations between these measures and their US GAAP counterparts can be found in the "Supplemental Reconciliations and Definitions" section of this Financial Review.
Landis+Gyr is a leading global provider of integrated energy management solutions. The Company measures and analyzes energy utilization to generate empowering analytics for smart grid and infrastructure management, enabling utilities and consumers to reduce energy consumption. Its innovative and proven portfolio of software, services and intelligent sensor technology is a key driver to decarbonize the grid. Building on over 125 years of industry experience, Landis+Gyr employs around 6,300 people in over 30 countries across five continents with the mission to manage energy better.
Traditional standalone metering products represent the historical core of the Company's offerings. However, the utility business model is expected to change rapidly over the next five to ten years, driven by current and future challenges, as well as megatrends impacting the global energy industry. The Company believes that smart meters play a key role for future energy distribution systems, which are rolled out across the globe. Landis+Gyr's Smart Metering and Grid Edge Intelligence technologies already allow utilities and consumers to control the way energy is used in a safe, secure and reliable way, driving efficiencies and allowing for increased cost control and data utilization. Going forward, Landis+Gyr will shape the way resources are being managed through Smart Infrastructure technology even more effectively and efficiently, creating value for utilities and energy consumers.
To best serve its customers, Landis+Gyr has organized its business into three regional reportable segments: the Americas, EMEA and Asia Pacific.
In March 2025, Landis+Gyr completed the divestment of the EV charging business in EMEA. As this business is being treated as Discontinued Operations, the financial information included in this Financial Review has been restated accordingly. See Note 3: Discontinued Operations in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Order intake increased by USD 652.8 million, or 33.3%, from USD 1,961.0 million in the year ended March 31, 2024, to USD 2,613.8 million in the year ended March 31, 2025, on a reported currency basis (33.6% on a constant currency basis). The continued strong order intake, equivalent to a book-to-bill ratio of 1.51 was driven by major contract wins in the regions Americas (recorded an order intake of USD 1,745.6 million (book-to-bill of 1.81)) and EMEA (orders of USD 620.7 million (book-to-bill of 1.02)).
Committed backlog increased by USD 862.0 million, or 22.9%, from USD 3,768.4 million in the year ended March 31, 2024, to USD 4,630.4 million in the year ended March 31, 2025, on a reported currency basis (increase of 22.7% on a constant currency basis).
As of March 31, 2025, in the Americas, committed backlog related to products, services and solutions was USD 3,761.9 million compared to USD 2,981.1 million as of March 31, 2024. The majority of the committed backlog in the Americas relates to the USA. In EMEA, as of March 31, 2025, the committed backlog was USD 696.8 million compared to USD 697.9 million as of March 31, 2024. Most of the EMEA committed backlog refers to contracts in the UK (28.4%), Finland (18.7%), Switzerland (17.7%) and France (12.1%). In Asia Pacific, as of March 31, 2025, committed backlog was USD 171.8 million compared to USD 89.5 million as of March 31, 2024. Most of the current backlog is recorded in Australia.
Net revenue decreased by USD 214.9 million, or 11.1%, from USD 1,944.2 million in the year ended March 31, 2024, to USD 1,729.3 million in the year ended March 31, 2025, on a reported currency basis (decrease of 10.5% on a constant currency basis). The decrease in net revenue was predominantly driven by the Americas, amounting to USD (166.7) million. In the Americas segment, the decrease in net revenue of 13.9%, on a constant currency basis, was the result of a wind-down of approximately USD 120 million in pent-up demand recognized in FY 2023 and a revenue push-out of approximately USD 30 million due to tariff-related temporary delays of shipments in March 2025, offset by higher revenue in Japan. The EMEA segment recorded a decrease in net revenue of 6.5%, on a constant currency basis driven by the softening of the domestic market in Turkey and in the UK, the end of a roll-out in Austria, and project timing in Switzerland and France partially offset by a solid performance in Belgium and Germany (Thermal solutions). The Asia Pacific segment net revenue decreased by 2.9% on a constant currency basis driven by Singapore phase-out and FX headwinds in Australia, partially offset by a revenue increase in New Zealand and topline momentum of Esyasoft (India JV).
Cost of revenue decreased by USD 131.8 million, or 9.8%, from USD 1,348.9 million in the year ended March 31, 2024, to USD 1,217.2 million in the year ended March 31, 2025. This decrease results directly from the lower volume and the operating leverage. As a result, gross profit decreased by USD 83.1 million, or 14.0%, from USD 595.3 million (or 30.6% as a percentage of revenue) in the financial year 2023 to USD 512.1 million (or 29.6% as a percentage of revenue) in the financial year 2024.

Research and development expenses decreased by USD 1.7 million, or 1.0%, from USD 174.4 million in the year ended March 31, 2024, to USD 172.7 million in the year ended March 31, 2025. Despite a slight decrease in absolute value, the R&D expenses represent 10.0% of sales, compared to 9.0% in the year ended March 31, 2024. The steady research and development expenses in absolute numbers were mainly attributable to ongoing efforts to support both current and future backlog conversion in Americas, and the development of smart ultrasonic gas and water technology.
Sales and marketing expenses decreased by USD 3.6 million, or 4.6%, from USD 78.1 million in the year ended March 31, 2024, to USD 74.5 million in the year ended March 31, 2025, mainly attributable to a decrease in personnel expenses.
General and administrative expenses decreased by USD 2.0 million, or 1.3%, from USD 155.1 million in the year ended March 31, 2024, to USD 153.1 million in the year ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was mainly driven by lower variable personnel expenses offset partially by higher consulting expenses to support the strategic initiatives including the strategic review of the EMEA business and the focus on the Americas business (including a potential US listing) that were announced in October 2024.
Cost of revenue includes amortization charges in the amount of USD 5.6 million and USD 4.8 million for the years ended March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, respectively; amortization of intangible assets included under operating expenses increased by USD 0.7 million, or 2.0%, from USD 34.9 million in FY 2023 to USD 35.6 million in FY 2024.
In the year ended March 31, 2025, the goodwill allocated to the EMEA reporting unit was impaired by USD 111.0 million. The strategic decision to withdraw from the EV segment was one of the main contributing factors that led to a reduction in the fair value of the reporting unit. No impairments were recognized in the financial year ended March 31, 2024.
Operating income decreased by USD 187.5 million to USD (34.7) million for the year ended March 31, 2025, from USD 152.8 million for the year ended March 31, 2024, as a result of an impairment of goodwill in the reporting unit EMEA for USD 111.0 million coupled with lower gross profit following lower revenues. Operating income included depreciation, amortization and impairment of USD 183.5 million for the year ended March 31, 2025, and USD 70.0 million for the year ended March 31, 2024, which are included in various line items in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Operating income before depreciation, amortization and impairment, which corresponds to EBITDA, decreased by USD 74.0 million, or 33.2%, from USD 222.8 million for the year ended March 31, 2024, to USD 148.8 million for the year ended March 31, 2025. EBITDA included non-recurring and other items in the financial year ended March 31, 2025, that management assessed to be non-indicative of operational performance. These items are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA.
Adjusted EBITDA was USD 170.9 million in FY 2024, compared to USD 229.9 million in FY 2023. The non-recurring and other items which amounted to USD 22.0 million included (i) restructuring expenses in the amount of USD 8.1 million, which was related predominantly to operational efficiency initiatives in the Americas and EMEA regions, (ii) warranty normalization adjustments of USD (4.3) million to adjust warranty expenses to the three-year average of actual warranty costs incurred (in cash or the value of other compensation paid out to customers) in respect of warranty claims, (iii) change in unrealized gains and losses on derivatives where the underlying hedged transactions have not yet been realized amounting to USD (0.1) million and (iv) transformation expenses of USD 18.3 million primarily related to the strategic review of the EMEA region, the preparation of a US listing and the focus on the Americas region.
In the financial year ended March 31, 2024, these non-recurring and other items which amounted to USD 7.1 million included (i) restructuring expenses in the amount of USD 12.6 million related mostly to a global restructuring initiative launched in August 2023 (Project Horizon), (ii) warranty normalization adjustments of USD (4.6) million to adjust warranty expenses to the three-year average of actual warranty costs incurred (in cash or the value of other compensation paid out to customers) in respect of warranty claims and (iii) change in unrealized gains and losses on derivatives where the underlying hedged transactions have not yet been realized amounting to USD (0.9) million.

Interest income was stable year-over-year with USD 1.9 million in the year ended March 31, 2025, and in the year ended March 31, 2024.
Interest expense increased by USD 4.5 million from USD 19.2 million in the year ended March 31, 2024, to USD 23.7 million in the year ended March 31, 2025, primarily attributable to higher utilization of the credit facility during FY 2024.
The net result on foreign exchange shifted from a loss of USD (8.3) million in the year ended March 31, 2024, to an income of USD 0.5 million in the year ended March 31, 2025. The deviation is primarily attributable to the US Dollar's performance against the other major currencies
For a discussion of the Company's other income (expense), refer to Note 6: Other Income (Expense), net in its Consolidated Financial Statements.
Income tax expense decreased by USD 8.0. million, from USD (18.7) million in the year ended March 31, 2024, to USD (10.7) million in the year ended March 31, 2025. The tax expense decrease was mainly driven by the lower taxable income as a result of the decline in operating income.
In March 2025, the Company completed the divestment of Landis+Gyr EV Solutions d.o.o. ("Landis+Gyr EV"). In the financial year ended March 31, 2025, the loss of USD 64.7 million includes both the operational losses incurred through April 1, 2024, until the disposal, and the loss recognized from the sale of the business. In the financial year ended March 31, 2024, the loss of USD 6.8 million reflected the Landis+Gyr EV's net loss.
The following tables set forth net revenues and Adjusted EBITDA for Landis+Gyr's segments: Americas, EMEA and Asia Pacific for FY 2024 and FY 2023:

Net revenue to external customers in the Americas segment decreased by USD 166.7 million, or 14.7%, from USD 1,131.3 million in the year ended March 31, 2024, to USD 964.6 million in the year ended March 31, 2025, on a reported currency basis (13.9% on a constant currency basis). The main drivers of the decrease were the winddown of approximately USD 120 million in pent-up demand recognized in FY 2023 and a revenue push-out of approximately USD 30 million due to tariff-related temporary delays of shipments in March.
Adjusted EBITDA in the Americas segment decreased by USD 58.3 million, or 31.5%, from USD 185.4 million in the year ended March 31, 2024, to USD 127.1 million in the year ended March 31, 2025. Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased primarily due to reduced operating leverage and a one-time Excess & Obsolescence (E&O) inventory adjustment of USD 20 million due to the streamlining of the Americas product portfolio driven by the fast adoption of the next generation offering. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA on a segment basis to Adjusted EBITDA on a Group basis, see the section Supplemental Reconciliations and Definitions.
Net revenue to external customers in the EMEA segment decreased by USD 42.7 million, or 6.6%, from USD 649.3 million in the year ended March 31, 2024, to USD 606.6 million in the year ended March 31, 2025, on a reported currency basis (6.5% on a constant currency basis) driven by project timing and continued softening in the UK and Türkiye.
Adjusted EBITDA in the EMEA segment decreased by USD 7.4 million, from USD 23.5 million in the year ended March 31, 2024, to USD 16.1 million in the year ended March 31, 2025. The Adjusted EBITDA decline is primarily driven by lower sales, partly offset by a favorable product mix and operating expenses restructuring benefits. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA on a segment basis to Adjusted EBITDA on a Group basis, see the section Supplemental Reconciliations and Definitions
Net revenue to external customers in the Asia Pacific segment decreased by USD 5.5 million, or 3.4%, from USD 163.6 million in the year ended March 31, 2024, to USD 158.1 million in the year ended March 31, 2025, on a reported currency basis (2.9% on a constant currency basis). Revenues were impacted by Singapore phase-out and FX headwinds (AUD-USD), partially offset by topline momentum of India and New Zealand.
Adjusted EBITDA in the Asia Pacific segment increased by USD 19.6 million, from USD 18.0 million in the year ended March 31, 2024, to USD 37.6 million in the year ended March 31, 2025. The Adjusted EBITDA expansion was supported by a gain from a real estate transaction in India (USD 11.0 million) and a favorable sales mix in Australia and New Zealand, Hong Kong and India. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA on a segment basis to Adjusted EBITDA on a Group basis, see the section Supplemental Reconciliations and Definitions.
The Company continually reviews its business, manages costs and aligns resources with market demand. As a result, the Company has taken several actions to reduce fixed costs, eliminate redundancies, strengthen operational focus and better position itself to respond to market pressures or unfavorable economic conditions.
The following table outlines the cumulative three-year and current costs incurred to date under these programs per segment:
| RESTRUCTURING CHARGES | ||
|---|---|---|
| USD in millions | Cumulative costs incurred up to March 31, 2025 |
Total costs incurred in the financial year ended March 31, 2025 |
| Americas | 9.6 | 3.4 |
| EMEA | 10.3 | 3.7 |
| Asia Pacific | 10.2 | – |
| Corporate | 2.3 | 1.0 |
| Restructuring charges | 32.5 | 8.1 |
The restructuring activities during FY 2024 were aimed at streamlining the organization in the Americas and in EMEA.
The cumulative costs incurred up to March 31, 2025, represent the Company's ongoing restructuring efforts under various programs over the last three financial years.
The Company funds its operations and growth with cash flow from operations and borrowings. Cash flows may fluctuate and are sensitive to many factors including changes in working capital, the timing and magnitude of capital expenditures and repayment of debt.
The Company believes that cash flow from operating activities, available cash and cash equivalents and access to borrowing facilities will be sufficient to fund currently anticipated working capital, planned capital spending, debt service requirements, dividend payments to shareholders, if any, and the share-based compensation schemes for at least the next twelve months. Over the longer term, the Company believes that its cash flows from operating activities, available cash and cash equivalents and access to borrowing facilities will be sufficient to fund Landis+Gyr's capital expenditures, debt service requirements and dividend payments. The Company also regularly reviews acquisition and other strategic opportunities, which may require additional debt or equity financing.
| CASH FLOW | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, | ||||
| USD in millions | 2025 | 2024 | ||
| Cash flow provided by operating activities | 78.9 | 121.2 | ||
| Cash flow used in investing activities | (36.2) | (102.9) | ||
| Business acquisitions, net of cash received | – | 3.3 | ||
| Purchase of investments | – | 72.7 | ||
| Proceeds from the sale of investments, net of divested cash | 11.1 | (3.2) | ||
| Free Cash Flow (excluding M&A) | 53.7 | 91.1 | ||
| Cash flow provided by (used in) financing activities | 2.2 | (5.4) |
Cash flow provided by operating activities decreased by USD 42.3 million from USD 121.2 million in the financial year 2023 to USD 78.9 million in the financial year 2024. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower sales.
Cash flow used in investing activities decreased by USD 66.7 million from USD (102.9) million in the financial year 2023 to USD (36.2) million in the financial year 2024, primarily related to the purchase of investments in the prior year.
Proceeds from the sale of investments, net of divested cash of USD (11.1) million in FY 2024 represent the sale of Landis+Gyr E.V. solutions d.o.o.
Cash flow used in financing activities increased by USD 7.6 million, from USD (5.4) million in the financial year 2023 to USD 2.2 million in the financial year 2024. Cash flow used in financing activities increased by USD 7.6 million, from USD (5.4) million in the financial year 2023 to USD 2.2 million in the financial year 2024.
In the year ended March 31, 2025, the inflow for financing activities was driven mainly by the proceeds from the corporate credit facility agreements of USD 90 million, net of the dividend payment of USD (72.5) million and the purchase of treasury shares of USD (8.2) million.
In the year ended March 31, 2024, the outflow for financing activities was driven mainly by the dividend payment of USD (70.8) million and the purchase of treasury shares of USD (3.5) million, net of the proceeds from the corporate credit facility agreements of USD 67.8 million.
One key factor affecting cash flow from operating activities is the change in working capital. Operating working capital ("OWC") reflects trade account receivables from third and related parties (net of allowance for credit losses) including notes receivables and unbilled receivables, plus net inventories less trade accounts payable from third and related parties including prepayments. The table below outlines Landis+Gyr's operating working capital for the Company as of March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024.
| NET OPERATING WORKING CAPITAL | ||
|---|---|---|
| USD in millions, except percentages | March 31, 2025 | March 31, 2024 |
| Accounts receivable, net(1) | 420.9 | 334.2 |
| Inventories, net | 230.4 | 227.6 |
| Trade accounts payable | (201.8) | (153.9) |
| Operating working capital | 449.5 | 407.9 |
| Operating working capital as a percentage of net Revenue | 26.0% | 21.0% |
1) Including the long-term portion of accounts receivable, net, which is included in Other long-term assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
During the period under review, the main changes to the Group's OWC arose from the timing of receipts from customers and payments to suppliers.
A key component of cash flow used in investing activities is capital expenditures ("Capex"). The Company calculates Capex as the amounts invested in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. Landis+Gyr's Capex is composed of three elements: (i) Replacement Capex; (ii) Expansion Capex (i.e., directly linked to expected volume growth); and (iii) Service Contract Capex (i.e., for the Company's Managed Services business unit in the Americas to fund on-balance sheet metering devices).
| CAPITAL EXPENDITURES | ||
|---|---|---|
| FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, | ||
| USD in millions, except percentages | 2025 | 2024 |
| Service contracts | 1.0 | 2.4 |
| Expansion | 16.8 | 17.3 |
| Replacement | 14.1 | 11.9 |
| Capex | 31.9 | 31.6 |
| Capex as a percentage of net revenue | 1.8% | 1.6% |
Capital expenditures marginally increased by USD 0.3 million, or 1.0%, from USD 31.6 million in FY 2023 to USD 31.9 million in FY 2024, focused on investments for new product introductions and upgrades to manufacturing facilities. Capex represented 1.8% and 1.6% of net revenue for FY 2024 and FY 2023, respectively.
The table below presents the components of net debt as of March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024.
| NET DEBT | ||
|---|---|---|
| USD in millions | March 31, 2025 | March 31, 2024 |
| Cash and cash equivalents | (171.6) | (127.8) |
| Credit facilities | 339.5 | 248.2 |
| Other borrowings | 4.6 | 4.4 |
| Other financial liabilities (assets), net | 10.4 | 6.6 |
| Net Debt | 182.9 | 131.3 |
The Company's policy is to ensure the Group will have adequate financial flexibility at all times without incurring unnecessary cost. Financial flexibility can be either provided through direct access to debt capital markets (private placement markets) or money markets (commercial paper) or through the establishment of bank facilities, either on a bilateral basis or on a syndicated basis.
Total outstanding debt was as follows:
| INDEBTEDNESS | ||
|---|---|---|
| USD in millions | March 31, 2025 | March 31, 2024 |
| Credit facilities | 339.5 | 248.2 |
| Other borrowings | 4.6 | 4.4 |
| Debt | 344.1 | 252.6 |
For the description of the Company's indebtedness, refer to Note 18: Debt in its Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP. The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions, which have an effect on the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and on the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Management evaluates the estimates on an ongoing basis, including, but not limited to, those related to costs of product guarantees and warranties, allowances for credit losses, recoverability of inventories, fixed assets, goodwill and other intangible assets, income tax expenses and provisions related to uncertain tax positions, pensions and other post-retirement benefit assumptions and legal and other contingencies.
Where appropriate, the estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from the Company's estimates and assumptions.
The Company deems an accounting policy to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made and if different estimates that reasonably could have been used, or if changes in the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur periodically, could materially impact the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
Management also deems an accounting policy to be critical when the application of such policy is essential to the Company's ongoing operations. Management believes the following critical accounting policies require difficult and subjective judgments to be made, often as a result of the need to make estimates regarding matters that are inherently uncertain.
The following policies should be considered when reading the Consolidated Financial Statements:
For a summary of the Company's accounting policies and a description of accounting changes and recent accounting pronouncements, including the expected dates of adoption and estimated effects, if any, on Landis+Gyr's Consolidated Financial State ments, see "Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Principles" in its Consoli dated Financial Statements.

The Company offers standard warranties on its metering products and solutions for periods ranging from one to five years. In some instances, warranty periods can be further extended based on customer-specific negotiations.
Warranty accruals represent the Company's estimate of the cost of projected warranties and are based on historical and projected warranty trends, specific quality issues identified (if any), supplier information and other business and economic projections as well as other commercial considerations. The Company's results in any given period are affected by additions to as well as releases of or other adjustments to these accruals, offset by insurance proceeds, received or receivable, if any.
New product warranties recorded during the financial years ended March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, primarily consist of additions in line with the ordinary course of business.
In assessing the underlying operational performance of the business over time, management believes that it is useful to consider the average actual warranty costs incurred (in cash or the value of other compensation paid out to customers) in respect of warranty claims as an alternative to warranty accruals, which are estimates and subject to change and significant period-to-period volatility. The main part of the outflow (in cash or the value of other compensation paid out to customers) in respect of warranty in the years ended March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, was related to a legacy component issue in the Americas.
Management presents Adjusted EBITDA in this Financial Report 2024 as an alternative performance measure (both at the Group and at the segment level). With regards to warranty, Adjusted EBITDA includes only the average actual warranty costs incurred over the last 3 years (in cash or the value of other compensation paid out to customers) in respect of such claims, which amounted to USD 9.9 million and USD 12.5 million for the years ended March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024. For FY 2024 and FY 2023, the warranty normalization adjustments made in calculating Adjusted EBITDA amounted to USD (4.3) million and USD (4.6) million, respectively.
The following table provides information on Landis+Gyr's accruals in respect of warranty claims as well as the associated outflow (in cash and cash equivalents) for the periods under review.

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Landis+Gyr Group AG and its subsidiaries (the "Company"), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations, consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of changes in shareholders' equity and consolidated statements of cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements").
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements (pages 22 to 68) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) and comply with Swiss law.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAS), Swiss law and Swiss Standards on Auditing (SA-CH). Our responsibilities under those provisions and standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the provisions of Swiss law and the requirements of the Swiss audit profession, as well as the independence and other ethical requirements relating to our audit, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Key audit matters are those matters that were communicated with those charged with governance and, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
During the year ending 31 March 2025, Management took a \$111.0M impairment to the EMEA reporting unit, resulting in a carrying value of goodwill of USD176.4M. The decision to exit the EV charging solutions business was one of the main contributing factors that led to a reduction in the fair value of the reporting unit.
The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment. When evaluating goodwill for impairment, the Company uses either a qualitative or quantitative assessment method for each
We assessed management's identification of the Company's EMEA reporting unit and the related assets, liabilities and goodwill assigned.
We obtained management's fair value calculation for the reporting unit and assessed the appropriateness of the model and the consistency of the methodology applied compared with prior years.
We tested the mathematical accuracy of the model and agreed inputs to the supporting documentation.

reporting unit. If, based on the qualitative assessment, it is determined to be more likely than not that a reporting unit's fair value is less than its carrying value or if the Company elects not to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit, the Company proceeds to perform a quantitative impairment assessment.
The quantitative impairment test involves comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds its fair value, the Company records an impairment charge equal to the difference.
The determination of the fair value of the reporting units involves significant estimation and judgements, including determining key assumptions used in estimating the future cash flows to support the fair value of the reporting units, such as the projections of future business performance and profitability, terminal growth rates and discount rates.
Due to the estimation uncertainty and judgement pertaining to the estimate of the EMEA reporting unit, we view the matter as a key audit matter.
Refer to Note 2.15 'Goodwill', Note 14 'Goodwill', and Note 15 'Impairment of intangible assets' in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
We reconciled the FY2025-FY2029 projections with the Board of Directors' approved mid-term plan and discussed with management the key drivers, as well as their intentions and the planned actions to achieve the expected results. We also compared the current year actual results with prior year projections to assess any inaccuracies or bias in assumptions.
With the support of PwC internal valuation specialists, we assessed the reasonableness of management's discount and terminal growth rate used in the calculation. We noted that the rates used were on the more conservative end of the range, resulting in a higher impairment calculation. We concluded that the rates used were reasonable.
We obtained the Company's sensitivity analysis regarding key assumptions to ascertain the effect of changes to those assumptions on the fair value estimate. In addition, we performed our own independent sensitivity analysis by changing various key assumptions to assess whether these would significantly alter management's conclusions.
Based on the procedures performed, we determined that the approach taken and the conclusions reached by management with regard to the recoverability of the EMEA reporting unit's goodwill were reasonable. Further, we agreed that management's assumptions and inputs into the calculation of the \$111.0M impairment were reasonable.
The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with US GAAP and the provisions of Swiss law, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Board of Directors is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date the consolidated financial statements are available to be issued; to disclose, as applicable, matters related to going concern; and to use the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with US GAAS, Swiss law and SA-CH will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. 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. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the consolidated financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with US GAAS, Swiss law and SA-CH, we:
We are required to communicate with the Board of Directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.
We also provide the Board of Directors or its relevant committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them regarding all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.
From the matters communicated with the Board of Directors or its relevant committee, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated 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.
The Board of Directors is responsible for the other information included in the annual report. The other information comprises all information included in the annual report, but does not include the consolidated financial statements, the stand-alone financial statements of Landis+Gyr Group AG, the remuneration report of Landis+Gyr Group AG and our auditor's reports thereon. Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information, and we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the consolidated financial statements or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement of the other information exists, we are required to describe it in our report. We have nothing to report in this regard.
In accordance with article 728a para. 1 item 3 CO and PS-CH 890, we confirm the existence of an internal control system that has been designed, pursuant to the instructions of the Board of Directors, for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
We recommend that the consolidated financial statements submitted to you be approved.

Landis+Gyr Group AG ("Landis+Gyr") and subsidiaries (together, the "Company" or the "Group") form a leading global provider of integrated energy management solutions. The Company is organized in a geographical structure which corresponds to the regional segments of the Americas, EMEA and Asia Pacific. Landis+Gyr offers a comprehensive portfolio of products and services, including meters, related devices, communications technologies and software applications that are essential to the measurement and management of energy distribution and consumption.
The Company's registered ordinary shares are listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange (Valor number: 37115349; ISIN: CH0371153492; Ticker symbol: LAND).
The Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("US GAAP"). All amounts are presented in United States Dollars ("USD"), unless otherwise stated.
Businesses to be divested are classified in the Consolidated Financial Statements as either discontinued operations or held for sale. For businesses classified as discontinued operations, the balance sheet amounts and results of operations are reclassified from their historical presentation to assets and liabilities of discontinued operations on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and to discontinued operations on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (loss) income, respectively, for all periods presented. The gains or losses associated with these divested businesses are also recorded in discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (loss) income. Additionally, the accompanying notes do not include the operating results of businesses classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented with the exception of Note 3: Discontinued Operations. As of March 31, 2025, the Company completed the divestiture of the business classified as discontinued operations. The Company does not expect to have any significant continuing involvement with this business following its divestiture. See Note 3: Discontinued Operations for more information.
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Landis+Gyr Group AG and its wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries. The Company consolidates companies in which it owns or controls more than fifty percent of the voting shares or has the ability to execute direct or indirect control.
The Company presents noncontrolling interests in less-than-wholly owned subsidiaries within the equity section of its Consolidated Financial Statements. On March 31, 2025, and on March 31, 2024, the Company had one less-than-wholly owned subsidiary, Landis+Gyr (Pty) Ltd in South Africa, with an ownership interest of 76.7% in both periods. On March 31, 2024, the Company had an additional less-than-wholly owned subsidiary, Landis+Gyr EV Solutions d.o.o. ("Landis+Gyr EV Solutions") in Slovenia, with an ownership interest of 75.0%. The Company acquired the remaining 25.0% noncontrolling interest in Landis+Gyr EV Solutions in April 2024. See Note 26: Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests for more information.
All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Affiliates are companies where the Company has the power to exercise a significant influence but does not have control. Significant influence may be obtained when the Company has 20% or more of the voting rights in the investee or has obtained a seat on the Board of Directors or otherwise participates in the policy-making process of the investee. Affiliated companies are accounted for using the equity method.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Significant items subject to such estimates include warranty provisions, allowances for credit losses, valuation of inventories, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, valuation of goodwill and other intangible assets, valuation of defined benefit pension obligations, income tax uncertainties and other contingencies and items recorded at fair value, including assets and liabilities obtained in a business combination. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates.
Global economic impacts beyond the Company's control, such as pandemics, global shortage of energy or supplied components as well as increased freight rates, duties, taxes or tariffs, business risks associated with the volatile global economic environment and changing political conditions, including wars or military actions, may create disruption in customer demand and global supply chains, resulting in market volatility, which the Company continues to monitor and, where reasonably possible, to manage and mitigate. A major disruption in the global economy and supply chain could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
The majority of the Company's revenues consist of hardware sales but may also include the license of software, software implementation services, cloud services and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), project management services, installation services, post-sale maintenance support and extended or noncustomary warranties. The Company accounts for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and the collectability of consideration is probable. In determining whether the definition of a contract has been met, the Company considers whether the arrangement creates enforceable rights and obligations, which involves evaluation of agreement terms that would allow for the customer to terminate the agreement. If the customer has the unilateral right to terminate a wholly unperformed agreement without providing consideration to the Company, the agreement would not be considered to meet the definition of a contract.
Many of the Company's revenue arrangements involve multiple performance obligations consisting of hardware, meter reading system software, installation and/ or project management services.
Separate contracts entered into with the same customer (or related parties of the customer) at or near the same time are accounted for as a single contract where one or more of the following criteria are met:
Once the contract has been defined, the Company evaluates whether the promises in the contract should be accounted for as more than one performance obligation. This evaluation requires significant judgment, and the decision to separate the combined or single contract into multiple performance obligations could change the amount of revenue and profit recognized in a given period. For some projects, the customer requires the Company to provide a significant service of integrating, customizing or modifying goods or services in the contract in which case the goods or services would be combined into a single performance obligation. It is common that the Company may promise to provide multiple distinct goods or services within a contract in which case the Company separates the contract into more than one performance obligation. If a contract is separated into more than one performance obligation, the Company allocates the total transaction price to each performance obligation in an amount based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised goods or services underlying each performance obligation. If applicable, for goods or services where observable standalone sales are available, the observable standalone sales are used to determine the standalone selling price. In the absence of observable standalone sales, the Company estimates the standalone selling price using either the adjusted market assessment approach or the expected cost plus a margin approach. Approaches used to estimate the standalone selling price for a given good or service will maximize the use of observable inputs and consider several factors, including the Company's pricing practices, costs to provide a good or service, the type of good or service and availability of other transactional data, among others. The Company determines the estimated standalone selling prices of goods or services used in the allocation of arrangement consideration on an annual basis or more frequently if there is a significant change in the business or if the Company experiences significant variances in its transaction prices.
Many of the Company's contracts with customers include variable consideration, which can include liquidated damage provisions, rebates and volume and early payment discounts. Some of the contracts with customers contain clauses for liquidated damages related to the timing of delivery or milestone accomplishments, which could become material in the event of failure to meet the contractual deadlines. At the inception of the arrangement and on an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates the probability and magnitude of having to pay liquidated damages. The Company estimates variable consideration using the expected value method, taking into consideration contract terms, historical customer behavior and historical sales. In the case of liquidated damages, the Company also takes into consideration progress toward meeting contractual milestones, including whether milestones have not been achieved, specified rates, if applicable, stated in the contract and the history of paying liquidated damages to the customer or similar customers. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price if, in management's judgment, it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur.
In the normal course of business, the Company does not accept product returns unless the item is defective as manufactured. The Company establishes provisions for estimated returns and warranties. In addition, the Company does not typically provide customers with the right to a refund.
Hardware revenues are recognized at a point in time. Transfer of control is typically at the time of shipment, receipt by the customer, or, if applicable, upon receipt of customer acceptance provisions. The Company recognizes revenue prior to receipt of customer acceptance for hardware in cases where the customer acceptance provision is determined to be a formality. Transfer of control would not occur until receipt of customer acceptance in hardware arrangements where such provisions are subjective or where the Company does not have a history of meeting the acceptance criteria.
Perpetual software licenses are considered to be a right to use intellectual property and are recognized at a point in time. Transfer of control is considered to be at the point at which it is available to the customer to download and use or upon receipt of customer acceptance. In certain contracts, software licenses may be sold with professional services including implementation services that involve a significant service of integrating, customizing or modifying the software. In these instances, the software license is combined into a single performance obligation with the implementation services and recognized over time as the implementation services are performed or, if applicable, upon receipt of customer acceptance provisions.
Cloud services and SaaS arrangements where customers have access to some of our software within a cloud-based IT environment that we manage, host and support are offered to customers on a subscription basis. Revenue for the cloud services and SaaS offerings is generally recognized over time, ratably over the contract term commencing on the date the services are made available to the customer.
Professional services, which include implementation, project management, installation and consulting services, are recognized over time. The Company measures progress toward satisfying these performance obligations using input methods, most commonly based on the costs incurred in relation to the total expected costs to provide the service. The Company expects this method to best depict its performance in transferring control of services promised to the customer or to represent a reasonable proxy for measuring progress. The estimate of expected costs to provide services requires judgment. Cost estimates take into consideration past experience and the specific scope requested by the customer and are updated quarterly. The Company may also offer professional services on a stand-ready basis over a specified period of time, in which case revenue would be recognized ratably over the term. Invoicing of these services is commensurate with performance and occurs on a monthly basis. As such, these services do not have a significant impact on contract assets and contract liabilities. Services, including professional services, are commonly billed on a monthly basis in arrears and typically result in an unbilled receivable, which is not considered a contract asset as the Company's right to consideration is unconditional.
Certain revenue arrangements include extended or noncustomary warranty provisions that cover all or a portion of a customer's replacement or repair costs beyond the standard or customary warranty period. Whether or not the extended warranty is separately priced in the arrangement, such warranties are considered to be a separate good or service, and a portion of the transaction price is allocated to this extended warranty performance obligation. This revenue is recognized ratably over the extended warranty coverage period.
Hardware and software post-sale maintenance support fees are recognized over time, ratably over the life of the related service contract. Shipping and handling costs and incidental expenses billed to customers are recognized as revenue, with the associated cost charged to cost of revenues. The Company recognizes sales, use and value added taxes billed to customers on a net basis.
Payment terms with customers can vary by customer, but amounts billed are typically payable within 30 to 90 days, depending on the destination country.
The Company incurs certain incremental costs to obtain contracts with customers, primarily in the form of sales commissions. Where the amortization period is one year or less, the Company has elected to apply the practical expedient and recognize the related commissions as an expense when incurred.
The Company evaluates each transaction in order to determine if the assets acquired constitute a business. The evaluation consists of consideration of the inputs, processes and outputs acquired. For assets acquired in transactions that do not meet the definition of a business, the full fair value of the consideration given is allocated to the assets acquired based on their relative fair values, and no goodwill is recognized.
The Company uses the acquisition method of accounting to account for business combinations. The Company allocates the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition, including intangible assets that can be identified. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values on the acquisition date. Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Among other sources of relevant information, the Company uses independent appraisals and actuarial or other valuations to assist in determining the estimated fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired.
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity or remaining maturity at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
From time to time, the Company is required to maintain cash balances that are restricted in order to secure certain bank guarantees.
Restricted cash is generally deposited in bank accounts earning market rates; therefore, the carrying value approximates fair value. Such cash is excluded from Cash and cash equivalents in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company's activities expose it to the financial risks of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company uses derivative financial instruments, primarily foreign currency forward contracts, to economically hedge specific substantial foreign currency payments and receipts. Derivatives are not used for trading or speculative purposes.
The Company enters into foreign exchange derivative contracts to economically hedge the risks associated with foreign currency transactions and minimize the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on earnings. Derivative instruments that the Company uses to economically hedge these foreign denominated contracts include foreign exchange forward contracts. Revaluation gains and losses on these foreign currency derivative contracts are recorded within Cost of revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
All derivative instruments are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value on the date the derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured to their fair value at each reporting date. The Company does not apply hedge accounting and, therefore, changes in the fair value of all derivatives are recognized in Cost of revenue during the period. The fair value of derivative instruments is presented on a gross basis, even when the derivative instruments are subject to master netting arrangements. Cash collateral payables and receivables associated with derivative instruments are not added to or netted against the fair value amounts. The Company classifies cash flows from its derivative programs as cash flows from operating activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
The fair values of the Company's derivative instruments are determined using the fair value measurements of significant other observable inputs, as defined by Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures". The Company uses observable market inputs based on the type of derivative and the nature of the underlying instrument. When appropriate, the Company adjusts the fair values of derivative instruments for credit risk, which is a risk of loss due to the failure of either the Company or counterparty to meet its contractual obligations, considering the credit risk of all parties, as well as any collateral pledged.
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are primarily accounts receivable, cash and cash equivalents and derivative instruments.
The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and, in general, does not require collateral from its customers.
The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with various financial institutions that management believes to be of high credit quality. These financial institutions are located in many different jurisdictions throughout the world. The Company's cash equivalents are primarily comprised of cash deposited in checking and money market accounts. Deposits held with banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and are maintained with financial institutions with reputable credit and therefore bear minimal credit risk.
The amount subject to credit risk related to derivative instruments is generally limited to the amount, if any, by which a counterparty's obligations exceed the obligations of the Company with that counterparty. To mitigate such risk, the Company pursues, where possible, the use of legally enforceable master netting arrangements and collateral agreements.
The Company accounts for certain assets and liabilities at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, emphasizing that fair value is a market-based measurement and not an entityspecific measurement. These valuation techniques include the market approach, income approach and cost approach. The income approach involves converting future cash flows to a single present amount. The measurement is valued based on current market expectations about those future amounts. The market approach uses observable market data for identical or similar assets and liabilities while the cost approach would value the cost that a market participant would incur to develop a comparable asset.
Inputs used to determine the fair value of assets and liabilities are defined by a three‑level hierarchy, depending on the nature of those inputs. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). A financial instrument's categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the instrument's fair value measurement. The three levels within the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:
Trade accounts receivable are initially recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses for probable losses inherent in its trade accounts receivable portfolio at the balance sheet date. The allowance is maintained at a level which the Company considers to be adequate and is based on ongoing assessments and evaluations of the collectability and historical loss experience of accounts receivable. The allowance is established through the provision for credit losses, which is charged to earnings. Credit losses are charged and recoveries are credited to the allowance. Account balances are written off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.
The allowance is based on the Company's review of the historical credit loss experience and such factors that, in management's judgment, deserve consideration under existing economic conditions in estimating current expected credit losses. Management considers, among other factors, historical losses, current receivables aging, periodic credit evaluation of its customers' financial condition, and existing industry and national economic data.
From time to time, the Company may sell certain accounts receivable to third-party financial institutions under the factoring arrangements with these financial institutions. Under the terms of these agreements, the Company transfers the receivables in an outright sale, with no recourse and no continued involvement with the assets transferred. The Company records such transfers as sales of accounts receivable when it is considered to have surrendered control of such receivables.
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (which approximates cost determined on a weighted average basis) or net realizable value. The costs include direct materials, labor and an appropriate portion of fixed and variable overhead expenses. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the normal course of business, minus the cost of completion, disposal and transportation. The Company writes down the value of inventories for estimated excess and obsolete inventories based upon historical trends, technological obsolescence, assumptions about future demand and market conditions.
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the related asset, with the exception of leasehold improvements, which are amortized over the shorter of the asset's useful life or the term of the lease, and network equipment which is depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the asset or the life of the customer contract under which the equipment is deployed. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
| ESTIMATED USEFUL LIVES | |
|---|---|
| Item | Years |
| Land | No depreciation |
| Buildings | 20–40 |
| Network equipment | 5–10 |
| Machinery and equipment | 5–10 |
| Vehicles and other equipment | 3–10 |
| Construction in progress | No depreciation |
Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred, while major renovations and improvements are capitalized as property, plant and equipment and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Gains or losses on disposals are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations at amounts equal to the difference between the net book value of the disposed assets and the proceeds received upon disposal.
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually in the fourth quarter of each financial year or more often if an event or circumstance indicates that an impairment may have occurred.
When evaluating goodwill for impairment, the Company uses either a qualitative or quantitative assessment method for each reporting unit. The qualitative assessment involves determining, based on an evaluation of qualitative factors, if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If, based on this qualitative assessment, it is determined to be more likely than not that the reporting unit's fair value is less than its carrying value or the Company elects not to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit, the Company proceeds to perform a quantitative impairment assessment.
The quantitative impairment test compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying value. The fair value of a reporting unit is determined using the income approach. The income approach uses Level 3 inputs and management estimates related to revenue growth rates, profitability margins, estimated future cash flows and discount rates. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company records an impairment charge equal to the difference.
Intangible assets with finite lives, principally customer contracts and relationships, are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, ranging from three to twenty years, which management has determined is the methodology best reflective of the expected benefits arising from the intangibles. The Company believes that the straight-line method is appropriate as these relationships are generally distributed over a long period of time and historical experience from each acquired entity has indicated a consistent experience with each customer.
Intangible assets with finite lives and property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Where such indicators exist, the Company first compares the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset (or asset group) to the carrying value of the asset (or asset group). If the carrying value of the long-lived asset exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the asset (or asset group), an impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and assistance by third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary.
Each reporting period, the Company reviews all equity method investments to determine whether a significant event or change in circumstances has occurred that may have an adverse effect on the fair value of each investment. When such events or changes occur, the Company evaluates the fair value compared to the carrying amount of the investment. Management's assessment of fair value is based on valuation methodologies using discounted cash flows, EBITDA and revenue multiples, as appropriate.
In the event the fair value of an investment declines below the carrying amount, the Company determines if the decline in fair value is other than temporary. If the Company determines the decline is other than temporary, an impairment charge is recorded. The Company's assessment as to the nature of a decline in fair value is based on, among other things, the length of time for which and the extent to which the market value has been less than its cost basis, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the entity, and the Company's intent and ability to retain the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.
Other investments include participation in other entities where the Company does not have the power to exercise significant influence or to exercise control. Equity investments with readily determinable fair values are measured at fair value. Other investments without readily determinable fair values are accounted at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer. Changes in value are recorded in Other income (expense), net.
The Company offers standard warranties on its metering products and its solution products for periods ranging from one to five years. In some instances, warranty periods can be further extended based on customer specific negotiations. Standard warranty provision represents the Company's estimate of the cost of projected warranty claims and is based on historical and projected warranty trends, specific quality issues identified (if any), supplier information and other business and economic projections. If the Company's quality control processes fail to detect a fault in a product, the Company could experience an increase in warranty claims.
The Company tracks warranty claims to identify potential product specific design or quality issues. If an unusual trend is noted, an additional warranty provision may be recorded when a product failure is probable and the cost can be reasonably estimated. Management continually evaluates the sufficiency of the warranty provisions and makes adjustments when necessary. The calculation of the warranty provision requires management to make estimates with respect to projected failure rates, as well as material, labor and other costs to be incurred in order to satisfy the Company's warranty commitments. As a result, actual warranty costs incurred in the future could differ significantly from the provision. The long-term warranty balance includes estimated warranty claims beyond one year. Warranty expense is included within Cost of revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Liabilities for loss contingencies, including environmental remediation costs, arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, penalties and other sources, are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment and/or remediation can be reasonably estimated. Any such provision is generally recognized on an undiscounted basis using the Company's best estimate of the amount of loss incurred or at the lower end of an estimated range when a single best estimate is not determinable. Changes in these factors and related estimates could materially affect the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
The Company has asset retirement obligations ("ARO") arising from contractual requirements to remove certain leasehold improvements at the time that the Company vacates leased property. The liability is initially measured on the date of executing the lease agreement at fair value and is subsequently adjusted for accretion expense and changes in the amount or timing of the estimated cash flows. In determining the fair value of the ARO, the Company has considered, among other factors, the estimated cost to remove the assets based on consultations with, and written estimates from, third-party contractors, the expected settlement dates, ranging from financial year ending March 31, 2026 to 2031, and an effective interest rate, which for the Company is based on the credit-adjusted risk-free rate. The corresponding AROs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset and depreciated over the shorter of the asset's remaining useful life or the lease term. The Company classifies such liabilities in Other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.
Accruals for estimated losses from environmental remediation obligations, excluding AROs, generally are recognized no later than completion of the remediation feasibility study. Such accruals are adjusted as further information develops or circumstances change. Recoveries of environmental remediation costs from third parties, which are probable of realization, are separately recorded as assets and are not offset against the related environmental liability.
The Company accounts for employee and retirement benefits in accordance with ASC 710, "Compensation".
A liability is recognized for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and long service leave when it is probable that settlement will be required and the liability can be estimated reliably. Liabilities recognized in respect of employee benefits expected to be settled within 12 months are measured at their nominal values using the remuneration rate expected to apply at the time of settlement. Liabilities recognized in respect of employee benefits which are not expected to be settled within 12 months are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made by the Company in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date.
The Company contributes, in accordance with legal and statutory requirements, to various statutory defined benefit and defined contribution pension plans. In addition, the Company sponsors various post-retirement benefit plans that provide medical benefits to retired participants.
The Company records annual amounts relating to its defined benefit plans and postretirement plans based on calculations that incorporate various actuarial and other assumptions including discount rates, mortality table assumptions, assumed rates of return, compensation increases, turnover rates and healthcare cost trend rates. The Company reviews its assumptions on an annual basis and makes modifications to the assumptions based on current rates and trends when it is appropriate to do so. The effect of modifications to those assumptions is recorded in other comprehensive income/(loss). The unrecognized amounts recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("AOCI") are subsequently recognized as expense on a straightline basis only to the extent that they exceed 10% of the higher of the market-related value or the projected benefit obligation, over the average remaining service period of active participants.
In addition to the defined benefit pension plans and post-retirement benefits plans, the Company also sponsors various employee retirement savings plans in which employees of certain subsidiaries are eligible to participate. Each plan provides for employee contributions as well as matching contributions by the Company. The Company recognizes an expense for matching contributions to defined contribution plans as they are incurred.
Income taxes are based on the laws and rates in effect in the countries in which operations are conducted or in which the Company or its subsidiaries are considered resident for income tax purposes.
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recorded for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and tax basis of assets and liabilities in each of the taxing jurisdictions in which the Company operates. These deferred taxes are measured using the tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Deferred tax assets are evaluated each period to determine whether or not it is more likely than not that they will be realized. In determining this, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. Valuation allowances are established where it is considered more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefit of such assets.
Valuation allowances are reviewed each period on a tax jurisdiction by tax jurisdiction basis to analyze whether there is sufficient positive or negative evidence to support a change in judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax assets.
The Company has elected not to reclassify prior periods' stranded tax. In accordance with its accounting policy, the Company releases income tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income once the reasons the tax effects were established cease to exist (e.g., when prior service cost and pension gains (losses) are reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income and recognized within Net periodic benefit cost).
The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740, "Income Taxes", which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities based solely on the technical merits of the position.
The Company recognizes interest expense and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes. Accrued interest and penalties are included within the related tax liability caption in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The reporting currency of Landis+Gyr is the US Dollar. The functional currency of most of the Company's subsidiaries is the applicable local currency. The translation from the applicable functional currencies into the Company's reporting currency is performed for the balance sheet accounts using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, and for the Statements of Operations and the Statements of Cash Flows using the average exchange rates prevailing during the year. The resulting translation adjustments are excluded from earnings and are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the entity is sold, substantially liquidated or evaluated for impairment in anticipation of disposal.
Foreign currency exchange gains and losses, such as those resulting from foreign currency denominated receivables or payables, are included in the determination of earnings with the exception of intercompany loans that are long-term investment in nature with no reasonable expectation of repayment, which are recognized in other comprehensive income.
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. A lease exists when a contract conveys to the customer the right to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The definition of a lease embodies two conditions: (1) there is an identified asset in the contract that is land or a depreciable asset (i.e., property, plant and equipment) and (2) the customer has the right to control the use of the identified asset.
Right-of-use ("ROU") assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses the implicit rate when readily determinable. As most of its leases do not provide an implicit rate, in determining the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the remaining lease term, currency of the lease, and the Company's credit rating. The ROU assets also include any lease payments made and exclude lease incentives received and initial direct costs incurred. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.
The Company has lease agreements, which include lease and nonlease components. For each of the existing asset classes, the Company has elected the practical expedient to account for the lease and nonlease components as a single lease component when the nonlease components are fixed.
The Company has elected to utilize the short-term lease exemption for all lease asset classes. All leases with a lease term that is not greater than twelve months are not subject to recognition and measurement of lease ROU assets and liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Operating leases are included in Other long-term assets, Operating lease liabilities – current, and Operating lease liabilities – non current in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Operating lease costs are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Finance leases are included in Property, plant and equipment, Other current liabilities, and Other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Finance lease ROU assets are generally amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term with the interest expenses on the lease liability recorded using the interest method.
Lease expenses for variable lease payments, where the timing or amount of the payment is not fixed, are recognized when the obligation is incurred. Variable lease payments generally arise in lease arrangements where executory and other leaserelated costs are billed to the Company when incurred by the lessor.
Research and development costs primarily consists of salaries and payroll taxes, thirdparty contracting fees, depreciation and amortization of assets used in R&D activities, and other overhead infrastructure costs. Research and development activities primarily consist of the development and design of new meters, network equipment and related software, and are expensed as incurred.
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses included in Sales and marketing expenses were USD 4.0 million and USD 3.9 million, respectively, for the financial years ended March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024.
ASC 260, "Earnings per Share", requires entities to present both basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weightedaverage number of common shares outstanding during the year plus all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding. Potentially dilutive shares that are anti-dilutive are excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation.
As of March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, the Company had nil and 74,972 dilutive shares outstanding, respectively.
The Company sponsors a share-based long-term incentive plan ("LTIP") providing the members of the Group Executive Management and other eligible key managers with the possibility to receive shares in the Company, subject to certain conditions. The LTIP consists of two components that are weighted equally: (i) a component with a market condition that is based on the total shareholders' return ("TSR") measured over three years relative to a peer group of comparable public companies as determined by the Company's Board of Directors, summarized under the heading Performance Share Plan PSP-TSR, and (ii) a component with a performance condition that is based on the Company's fully diluted earnings per share ("EPS") performance, summarized under the heading Performance Share Plan PSP-EPS. The Board of Directors, at its discretion, may allow the EPS normalization of certain significant and unforeseen one-off events, not indicative of underlying performance.
Share-based compensation expense is recognized and measured based on the guidance codified in ASC 718 "Compensation – Stock Compensation".
The fair value of performance stock units ("PSUs") granted under the PSP-TSR is estimated using the Monte Carlo simulation methodology. The Monte Carlo simulation input assumptions are determined based on available internal and external data sources. The risk-free rate is interpolated from country-specific government sovereign debt yields derived from Standard & Poor's as of the valuation date matching the measurement period. The expected volatility of the share price returns is based on the historic volatility of daily share price returns of the Company, derived from Standard & Poor's and measured over a historical period matching the performance period of the awards. The dividend yield is based on the expected dividend yield over the expected term of the awards granted. The expected term is the remaining term of an award based on the period of time between the grant date and the date the award is expected to vest.
The fair value of performance stock units granted under the PSP-EPS is determined based on the closing share price of the Company's share on the day preceding the grant date less the present value of expected dividends.
The Company recognizes stock-based compensation costs considering estimated future forfeiture rates, which are reviewed annually or whenever indicators are present that actual forfeitures may differ materially from previously established estimates.
The total compensation cost for the PSP-EPS is expensed on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award. The total compensation cost for the PSP-TSR is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award (see Note 23: Share-based Compensation).
In August 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-05 – Business Combinations – Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement, which provides guidance on the initial recognition of contributions received by a joint venture. The update requires joint ventures to initially measure all contributions received upon their formation at fair value. Before ASU 2023-05, there was no authoritative guidance in US GAAP that addressed how a joint venture should recognize contributions received. As a result, there has been diversity in practice, with some joint ventures accounting for contributions received on a carryover basis and others at fair value. This update is effective prospectively for the Company for annual and interim reporting periods beginning April 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company intends to apply the revised guidance to any newly formed joint ventures with a formation date on or after April 1, 2025.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 – Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which amends Income Taxes (Topic 740). The FASB issued this update to improve annual basis income tax disclosures related to (1) rate reconciliation, (2) income taxes paid and (3) other disclosures related to pretax income (or loss) and income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations. This amendment is effective for the Company on April 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. These amendments are to be applied on a prospective basis. Retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements disclosures.
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07 – Segment Reporting (Topic 280) – Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which amends the reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. These amendments are to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. The disclosure requirements in ASU 2023-07 have been reflected in the segment disclosures within these Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 32: Segment Information.
In March 2025, the Company completed the divestment of all of the issued and outstanding shares and voting interests of Landis+Gyr EV Solutions d.o.o. ("Landis+Gyr EV") which was part of the EMEA reporting unit. As a result of the sale, substantially all Landis+Gyr EV related assets and liabilities have been sold. Landis+Gyr's vision that utility customers would have a significant position in the rollout and adoption of EV charging solutions has not materialized to the extent previously expected. Therefore, and after an extensive evaluation of strategic options and market conditions, the Board of Directors has decided to exit from the EV charging business in EMEA.
The Company determined that the exit from the EV business represented a strategic shift that would have a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results, the results of operations for this business were presented as discontinued operations.
The following table discloses the major components of the pretax loss of the discontinued operation and a reconciliation to the amounts reported in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the financial years ended March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024:

1) These accumulated other comprehensive income components are included in the computation of net periodic pension costs (see Note 22: Pension and Post-retirement Benefit Plans for additional details).
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period, assuming that all potentially dilutive securities were exercised, if dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities comprise shares granted subject to certain conditions under the Company's share-based payment arrangements (see Note 23: Share-based Compensation).
Treasury shares are not considered outstanding for share count purposes and they were excluded from the average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the purpose of calculating the basic and diluted earnings per share.

There were 269,538 potentially dilutive securities from the Company's share-based long-term incentive plans for the financial year ended March 31, 2025, none of which were included in the computation of the adjusted weighted-average number of shares outstanding as the effect would be anti-dilutive due to the net loss per share. These stock-based awards could be dilutive in future periods.
There were 332,400 potentially dilutive securities from the Company's share-based long-term incentive plans for the financial year ended March 31, 2024, of which 74,972 were included in the computation of the adjusted weighted-average number of shares outstanding.

In connection with certain business combinations, the Company recorded contingent consideration liabilities, which are payable subject to the achievement of certain financial targets. During the financial years ended March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, the Company recorded gains from the change in value of the earn-out liabilities of USD 0.6 million and USD 1.9 million, respectively, which are included within Other income (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
For the financial year ended March 31, 2025, the impairment analysis on the equity investment in Brusa (see note 16: Other Long-term Assets) indicated that the estimated fair value of this security was lower than its carrying value. Significant adverse changes in the general market condition of the industry in which the investee operates led to a reduction in the fair value of the equity investment. An impairment charge of USD 22.7 million was recorded within Other income (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations to reduce the carrying value of this investment to its fair value. No impairment charges were recorded in the financial year March 31, 2024.

For the financial years ended March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, the Company recorded a loss from the change in value of its equity interest in Allego (see note 16: Other Long-term Assets) of USD (0.6) million and USD (0.5) million, respectively, which is included within Other income (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The following table provides information about contract assets and liabilities with customers:
| CONTRACT LIABILITIES | ||

| USD in thousands | 2025 | 2024 |
| Contract assets | 3,470 | 2,414 |
| Advances from customers | 3,706 | 6,476 |
| Deferred revenue | 121,823 | 60,764 |
| Contract liabilities | 125,529 | 67,240 |
Contract liabilities primarily relate to advances received on orders from customers as well as amounts invoiced to customers in excess of revenues recognized predominantly on long-term projects. Contract liabilities are reduced as work is performed and as revenues are recognized.
Of the contract liabilities as of March 31, 2024, the Company recognized revenue of USD 42.5 million during the financial year ended March 31, 2025.
Contract liabilities are included within Other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Total transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations represents committed but undelivered products and services for contracts and purchase orders at period end. Twelve-month remaining performance obligations represent the portion of total transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations that the Company estimates will be recognized as revenue over the next 12 months. Total transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations is not a complete measure of future revenues as the Company also receives orders where the customer may have legal termination rights but is not likely to exercise such rights.
Total transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations related to contracts is approximately USD 1,617.0 million for the next 12 months and approximately USD 3,013.4 million for periods longer than 12 months. The total remaining performance obligations are comprised of product and service components. The service component relates primarily to maintenance agreements for which customers pay a full year's maintenance in advance, and revenue is generally recognized over the service period. Total transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations also includes the Company's extended warranty contracts, for which revenue is recognized over the warranty period, and hardware, which is recognized as units are delivered. The estimate of when remaining performance obligations will be recognized requires significant judgment.
Costs to obtain a contract and costs to fulfill a contract are capitalized and amortized using a systematic rational approach to align with the transfer of control of underlying contracts with customers.
As of March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, the carrying balances of assets recognized from the costs incurred to obtain a contract were USD 4.4 million and USD 3.6 million, respectively. These amounts are included in Other long-term assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
For the financial years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized USD 1.2 million and USD 1.3 million, respectively, amortization of capitalized costs incurred to obtain a contract. These amounts are included within Sales and marketing expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The disaggregation of revenue into categories, which depicts how revenue is affected by economic factors, is disclosed in Note 32: Segment Information.

The long-term portion of accounts receivable, net, is included in Other long-term assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The carrying amount of accounts receivable approximates their fair value. Normal credit terms are 30 to 90 days, averaging slightly more than 60 days.
Contract receivable amounts are recorded when revenues are recognized and rights to receive payment become unconditional, upon product shipment/installation or service delivery, and invoicing occurs at a later date. Generally, contract receivable amounts are invoiced within one week after month-end.

Total depreciation expense for the financial years ended March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, was USD 31.3 million and USD 30.3 million, respectively. The difference between the total change in accumulated depreciation and the depreciation expense of property, plant & equipment represents the effect from the disposal of assets and the change in exchange rates.
During the financial year ended March 31, 2025, the Company completed the sale of a manufacturing plant in India. In connection with this transaction, the Company recognized a gain on disposal of fixed assets of USD 11.0 million, which is included within Cost of revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The cash proceeds from the sale were USD 12.5 million, half of which was received in the financial year ended March 31, 2024, with the remaining amount collected in the current year.
On October 4, 2023, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares and voting interests of Thundergrid Limited ("Thundergrid"). The total consideration transferred, net of cash acquired, was USD 5.8 million, of which USD 3.4 million represents goodwill. Of the total consideration transferred, USD 3.3 million was paid in cash. The remaining USD 2.5 million relates to the fair value of additional contingent consideration to be paid by the Company if specified future events occur or conditions are met, such as the achievement of certain financial targets by October 4, 2026. The fair value of this additional contingent consideration was estimated using the Monte Carlo simulation methodology.
Thundergrid is a Wellington-based EV infrastructure company offering end-to-end charging solutions across New Zealand. Their solutions are deployed to government, corporates, property owners, homeowners and developers to create a smarter, more connected grid. The acquisition of Thundergrid strengthens the Company's position in the EV markets. Consequently, the goodwill acquired represents expected operating synergies and cost savings as well as intangible assets that are not separable such as employee know-how and expertise.
The results of Thundergrid are included in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements from the date of acquisition, but their impact is not material.
The gross carrying amount, accumulated amortization, and impairments of the Company's intangible assets, other than goodwill, are as follows:

Balance as of
Landis+Gyr has three reporting units with goodwill: Americas, EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) and Asia Pacific, which are also the Company's reportable segments.
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the financial years ended March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, are as follows:
| USD in thousands | Americas | EMEA | Asia Pacific | Total |

No impairment charges for finite lived intangibles were recorded in the financial years ended March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024.
In the last quarter of the financial years ended March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, the Company performed a quantitative goodwill impairment analysis for all its reporting units that included an assessment of certain qualitative factors, the overall financial performance, macroeconomic and industry conditions, as well as determining the fair value of the reporting units and comparing that fair value to the carrying values.
For the financial year ended March 31, 2025, the quantitative impairment test on the EMEA reporting unit indicated that the estimated fair value of this reporting unit (based on the income approach whereby the fair value is calculated based on the present value of future cash flows) was lower than its carrying value. The decision to exit the EV charging solutions business was one of the main contributing factors that led to a reduction in the fair value of the reporting unit. A goodwill impairment charge of USD 111.0 million was recorded to reduce the carrying value of this reporting unit to its implied fair value. The remaining goodwill for the EMEA reporting unit was USD 176.4 million as of March 31, 2025. The outcome of the quantitative test for the Americas and Asia Pacific reporting units was that the goodwill was not impaired as of March 31, 2025.
No goodwill impairment charges were recorded in the financial year ended March 31, 2024.
The Company's assessments considered the current and expected future economic and market conditions and their impact on each of the reporting units and intangible assets. The assumptions used within the impairment assessments represent the Company's best estimate. The Company's assessment that an additional impairment is not required for its reporting units assumes the trading conditions develop as forecasted. The ability to achieve its forecasts could be materially impacted by external factors such as pandemics, global shortage of energy or supplied components as well as increased freight rates, duties, taxes or tariffs, and the Company's ability to respond to them.

On February 29, 2024, Landis+Gyr AG entered into an agreement (the "Credit Facilities Agreement") for a USD 250 million multicurrency term loan (the "Facility A") and a USD 250 million multicurrency revolving credit facility (the "Facility B") provided by a bank syndicate led by UBS Switzerland AG. Both facilities mature in February 2029. The purpose of the new facilities is to replace the previous revolving credit facilities (see below) and for general corporate purposes.
The Credit Facilities Agreement has a maturity of five years and provides two extensions of the facilities for an additional period of one year each.
The Credit Facilities Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants customarily found in loan agreements for similar transactions, subject to certain agreed exceptions, for the borrower and the Group, including with respect to, among other actions, maintaining the Group's business operations and assets, carrying out transactions with third parties at market conditions, ranking all obligations at least pari passu with present or future payment obligations, complying with laws and reporting obligations, and preparing financial statements in accordance with US GAAP. The Credit Facilities Agreement restricts, among other actions, the following, subject to certain exceptions: carrying out material changes to the Group's activities or structure, changing its accounting standards, incurring further indebtedness, granting security for indebtedness, granting credit to third parties, and carrying out certain disposals of assets. The Credit Facilities Agreement also contains a financial covenant requiring that the Group's Net Senior Debt (as defined therein) divided by EBITDA is not greater than 3.00x, whereby EBITDA shall always be positive.
The Credit Facilities Agreement contains events of default, which include, among others, payment defaults, breach of other obligations under the agreement, cross-default, insolvency, material adverse change, or a material reservation of the auditors. Indebtedness under the Credit Facilities Agreement may be voluntarily prepaid in whole or in part, subject to notice, minimum amounts, and break costs.
Under the multicurrency term loan, the Company may borrow loans in Swiss Francs with consecutive interest periods of one, two, three or six months, or in US Dollars and in Euros, with consecutive interest periods of one, three, six or twelve months.
Borrowings under the Facility A bear interest at a rate based on the term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") in case of borrowings in US Dollars, the Euro Interbank Offered Rate ("EURIBOR") in case of borrowings in Euros, or the Swiss Average Rate Overnight ("SARON") in case of borrowings in Swiss Francs, plus a margin ranging from 1.05% to 2.15% depending on the Net Senior Debt/EBITDA ratio calculated every half year at March 31 and September 30.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company has drawn loans for a total amount of USD 250.0 million which will mature during the following financial year, but the Company has the intention and the ability to refinance them over the Credit Facilities Agreement until February 2029. The unused portion was nil.
During the financial year ended March 31, 2024, in connection with obtaining the Facility A the Company incurred debt issuance costs of USD 1.0 million which were recognized as a reduction of Long-term debt in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company is amortizing the Facility A's debt issuance costs over the facility's term.
Under the multicurrency revolving credit facility, the Company may borrow loans in Swiss Francs with consecutive interest periods of one, two, three or six months, or in US Dollars and in Euros with consecutive interest periods of one, three, six or twelve months.
Borrowings under the Facility B bear interest at a rate based on the term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") in case of borrowings in US Dollars, the Euro Interbank Offered Rate ("EURIBOR") in case of borrowings in Euros, or the Swiss Average Rate Overnight ("SARON") in case of borrowings in Swiss Francs, plus a margin ranging from 0.75% to 1.85% depending on the Net Senior Debt/EBITDA ratio calculated every half year at March 31 and September 30.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company has drawn loans for a total amount of USD 90.0 million which will mature during the following financial year. The Facility B's unused portion was USD 160.0 million.
During the financial year ended March 31, 2024, in connection with obtaining the Facility B the Company incurred debt issuance costs of USD 1.0 million which were capitalized and recognized within Other long-term assets in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company is amortizing the Facility B's debt issuance costs over the facility's term.
The Company incurs a quarterly commitment fee equal to 35% per annum of the applicable margin of the unused portion of the multicurrency revolving credit facility, as well as a quarterly utilization fee up to 0.3% per annum of all outstanding Facility B loans.

The Company is exposed to certain currency risks arising from its global operating, financing and investing activities. The Company uses derivative instruments to reduce and manage the economic impact of these exposures. Forward foreign exchange contracts are the main instrument used to protect the Company against the volatility of future cash flows (caused by changes in exchange rates) arising from transactions denominated in foreign currencies.
The gross notional amounts of outstanding foreign exchange contracts as of March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, were USD 253.8 million and USD 150.4 million, respectively.
For the financial year ended March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, the Company recognized gains (losses) from changes in the fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts of USD (2.0) million and USD 0.1 million, respectively. These amounts are included within Cost of revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The fair values of the outstanding derivatives, included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, were as follows:

The Company's derivative assets and liabilities subject to netting arrangements include foreign exchange forward contracts with nine counterparties on March 31, 2025, and six counterparties on March 31, 2024. No derivative asset or liability balance with any of Landis+Gyr's counterparties was individually significant on March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024. The Company's derivative contracts with each of these counterparties exist under agreements that provide for the net settlement of all contracts through a single payment in a single currency in the event of default. The Company has no pledges of cash collateral against its obligations, and it has not received pledges of cash collateral from its counterparties under the associated derivative contracts.
The Company measures financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Foreign currency exchange contracts are measured at fair value on a recurring basis by means of various valuation techniques and models, and the inputs used are classified based on the hierarchy outlined within the Company's significant accounting policies.
In addition, certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment).
The valuation techniques and models utilized for measuring financial assets and liabilities are reviewed and validated at least annually.
At March 31, 2025, for each of the fair value hierarchy levels, the following assets and liabilities were measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
| FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS – FY24 | ||||

The Company's equity interest in Allego is traded on a public stock exchange for which quoted prices are readily and regularly available and is therefore categorized as Level 1.
The fair value of the foreign currency forward exchange contracts has been determined using price quotes for similar instruments, appropriately adjusted, or present value techniques, based on available market data or option pricing, under the assumption that the unit of account is an individual derivative transaction, and that derivative could be sold or transferred on a standalone basis. The foreign currency forward exchange contracts are classified as Level 2. The key inputs used in valuing derivatives include foreign exchange spot and forward rates, all of which are available in an observable market. The fair value does not reflect subsequent changes in the economy, interest and tax rates and other variables that may affect the determination of fair value.
In connection with certain business combinations, the Company recorded contingent consideration liabilities, which are payable subject to the achievement of certain financial targets. The fair value of these contingent consideration liabilities was estimated with Monte Carlo simulation models using Level 3 inputs, including EBITDA volatility and other market variables to assess the probability of achieving the targets, and any subsequent changes in fair value are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations until settlement.
The fair value of the Company's financial instruments approximates carrying value due to their short maturities.
Refer to Note 26: Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests for a discussion of certain temporary equity instruments issued by the Company.
A large portion of the Company's employees are covered by defined benefit plans which are funded by the Company, the employees, and in certain countries, by state authorities. The Company has pension plans in various countries with the majority of the Company's pension liabilities deriving from Germany, the US and Switzerland. Such plans can be set up as state or company-controlled institutions, as contracts with private insurance companies, as independent trusts or pension funds. The benefits provided by such entities vary by country based on the legal and economic environment and are primarily based on employees' years of service and average compensation, covering the risks of old age, death and disability in accordance with legal requirements and the pension legislation in the respective countries.
Net periodic pension cost and the pension obligation of the Company's defined benefit plans are calculated based on actuarial valuations. Such valuations consider, inter alia, the years of service rendered by employees and assumptions about future salary increases. The latest actuarial valuations were performed for the defined benefit plans as of March 31, 2025, and using that as the measurement date.
The underlying actuarial assumptions are based on the actual local economic circumstances of the countries where the defined benefit plans are situated. The Company contributes to the employee benefit plans in accordance with applicable laws and requirements and the pension plan assets are invested in accordance with applicable regulations.
The following tables summarize the movement of the benefit obligation, plan assets, funded status and amounts recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for the defined benefit pension plans for the periods indicated in the tables below:

Changes in plan assets and benefit obligations recognized in AOCL (pre-tax) are as follows:
| CHANGES IN PLAN ASSETS AND BENEFIT OBLIGATIONS RECOGNIZED IN AOCL |
||
|---|---|---|
| FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, | ||
| USD in thousands | 2025 | 2024 |
| Net actuarial loss | 2,899 | 19,447 |
| Amortization of actuarial loss | (514) | (785) |
| Prior service cost | 1 | (35) |
| Amortization of prior service credit | 1,091 | 1,092 |
| Total change recognized in AOCL | 3,477 | 19,719 |
The following represents the amounts included in AOCL related to the Company's defined benefit pension plans:
| AMOUNTS RECOGNIZED IN AOCL FROM DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS |
||
|---|---|---|
| MARCH 31, | ||
| USD in thousands | 2025 | 2024 |
| Actuarial loss | 10,281 | 7,822 |
| Prior service cost | (780) | (1,872) |
| Deferred tax assets | (1,338) | (1,040) |
| Effect of changes in exchange rates | 155 | 230 |
| Total | 8,318 | 5,140 |
The weighted average assumptions used in accounting for the defined benefit pension plans are as follows:
| WEIGHTED AVERAGE ASSUMPTIONS | ||
|---|---|---|
| March 31, 2025 | March 31, 2024 | |
| Weighted average assumptions to determine benefit obligations: | ||
| Discount rate (1) | 1.79% | 2.07% |
| Expected rate of increase in future compensation (2) | 1.25% | 1.63% |
| Expected rate of increase in future pension benefits (3) | 0.11% | 0.12% |
| Weighted average assumptions to determine net periodic pension costs: |
||
| Discount rate (1) | 2.08% | 2.67% |
| Expected long-term rate of return on plan assets (4) | 3.45% | 4.02% |
Holding all other assumptions constant, a 0.5-percentage point decrease in the discount rate would have increased the PBO related to the defined benefit pension plans by USD 16.2 million while a 0.5-percentage point increase in the discount rate would have decreased the PBO related to the defined benefit pension plans by USD 14.5 million.
Holding all other assumptions constant, a decrease or increase of 0.5 percentage points in the discount rate would have decreased the interest cost in the financial year ended March 31, 2025, by USD 1.1 million or increased the interest cost by USD 1.0 million, respectively.
The actual asset allocation for the defined benefit pension plan assets is as follows:
| ACTUAL ASSET ALLOCATION | ||
|---|---|---|
| March 31, 2025 | March 31, 2024 | |
| Equity instruments | 33% | 36% |
| Debt instruments | 36% | 36% |
| Property | 21% | 21% |
| Other | 10% | 7% |
PENSION PLAN ASSETS
The Company's pension plan assets for each individual plan are invested in accordance with statutory regulations, pension plan rules and decisions of the pension fund trustees. The Company's actual invested positions in various securities change over time based on short and longer-term investment opportunities. Strategic pension plan asset allocations are determined by the objective to achieve an investment return, which together with the contributions paid, is sufficient to maintain reasonable control over the various funding risks of the plans. Based upon current market and economic environments, the actual asset allocation may periodically be permitted to deviate from policy targets. The plan's assets are divided according to asset class. For the financial year ending March 31, 2026, the targeted allocations are equities (32%), debt securities (36%), real estate (21%) and others (10%).
Annual benefit payments, including amounts to be paid from the Company's assets for unfunded plans, and reflecting expected future service, as appropriate, are expected to be as follows:
| FUTURE BENEFIT PAYMENTS | |
|---|---|
| Financial year ending March 31, (USD in thousands) | |
| 2026 | 18,514 |
| 2027 | 16,539 |
| 2028 | 17,500 |
| 2029 | 18,355 |
| 2030 | 16,176 |
| 2031–2035 | 75,417 |
The following tables present, for each of the fair-value hierarchy levels, the Company's defined benefit pension plan assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024:
| Fair value measurements March 31, 2025 (USD in thousands) |
Total | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 |

| Real estate | 52,282 | – | 51,866 | 416 |
| Other | 16,291 | 9,258 | 7,033 | – |
The classification of fair value measurements within the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement. Valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value are as follows:
Debt and equity instruments classified as Level 1 are valued at the closing price reported on the active market where the individual securities are traded. Equity instruments classified as Level 2 consist of investments in traded institutional funds, which are not actively traded, valued at the repurchase price as calculated by the fund manager on a daily basis and alternative investments valued at their net asset value which is based on the fair value of the underlying assets that are traded in active markets and have quoted market prices.
Real estate investments classified as Level 2 are valued at the repurchase price as calculated by the fund manager on a daily basis. Real estate investments classified as Level 3 are valued using a discounted cash-flow approach; the discount rates are based on the age of the real estate and stand at 4.5%.
The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.
The following table sets forth a summary of changes in the fair value of the Level 3 assets:
| CHANGES IN FAIR VALUE – LEVEL 3 | ||
|---|---|---|
| FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, | ||
| USD in thousands | 2025 | 2024 |
| Balance at April 1, | 416 | 350 |
| Actual return on plan assets | (104) | 62 |
| Effect of changes in exchange rates | 8 | 4 |
| Balance at March 31, | 320 | 416 |
In addition to its defined benefit plans, the Company also provides post-retirement health care benefit plans to some of its employees. As of March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, the post-retirement benefit plans had an obligation of less than USD 0.1 million and USD 0.1 million, respectively.
Furthermore, the Company sponsors various defined contribution plans in which employees of certain subsidiaries are eligible to participate. Total expenses related to such plans for the financial years ended March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, were USD 9.8 million and USD 9.2 million, respectively.
The Company sponsors a share-based long-term incentive plan ("LTIP") providing the members of the Group Executive Management and other eligible key managers with the possibility to receive shares in the Company, subject to certain conditions.
Each new award under the LTIP is a contingent entitlement (Performance Stock Unit or "PSU") to receive shares in the Company, provided certain results are achieved during the three-year period. The LTIP consists of two components that are weighted equally: (i) a component with a market condition that is based on the total shareholders' return ("TSR"), summarized under the heading PSP-TSR, and (ii) a component with a performance condition that is based on the Company's fully diluted earnings per share ("EPS") performance, summarized under the heading PSP-EPS. The Board of Directors, at its discretion, may allow the EPS normalization of certain significant one-off events.
The following table summarizes the number of outstanding nonvested share equivalents allocated to each component of the LTIP as of March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024:
| MAXIMUM OUTSTANDING NONVESTED SHARE EQUIVALENTS UNDER THE LTIP |
||
|---|---|---|
| March 31, 2025 | March 31, 2024 | |
| Maximum share equivalents under the PSP-TSR | 134,769 | 166,200 |
| Maximum share equivalents under the PSP-EPS | 134,769 | 166,200 |
| Total maximum outstanding nonvested share equivalents under the LTIP |
269,538 | 332,400 |
| Exercisable | – | – |
The number of share equivalents represents the maximum number of shares that can potentially vest and be distributed to employees if the Company were to achieve the highest vesting scenario for each component.
Total compensation costs recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations with respect to the LTIP for the financial years ended March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, were USD 2.0 million and USD 3.9 million, respectively.
The Company annually allocates PSUs of its publicly traded shares to eligible employees who are employed with the Company at the grant date. These awards are subject to a TSR market condition, which compares the Company's TSR measured over three years relative to a peer group of comparable publicly traded companies. The relative TSR condition is calculated considering not only the variations of the closing price over the three-year period but also the dividends distributed in the same period, assuming that those dividends are reinvested at the time of distribution in the shares of the Company.
PSUs granted under the PSP-TSR component will cliff-vest and be converted into the Company's shares in a range of 0% to 200% following the 3-year measurement period. The PSP-TSR awards multiple shall be capped at 100% if Landis+Gyr's absolute TSR attributable to the relevant three-year measurement period is negative, regardless of the Company's performance relative to the peer group.
The following tables summarize the activities under the PSP-TSR component for the financial year ended March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024:

The Company recorded share-based compensation expense for the PSP-TSR Plan of USD 1.3 million and USD 1.8 million, respectively, for the financial years ended March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, which is included within General and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The total grant-date fair value of PSP-TSR awards that vested during the financial years ended March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, was USD 1.4 million and USD 1.3 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2025, total unrecognized compensation costs related to nonvested PSP-TSR awards amounted to USD 1.6 million. These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years.
Equity-settled awards are recorded in the "Additional paid-in capital" component of shareholders' equity, with compensation cost recorded in General and administrative expenses over the vesting period, which is from the grant date to the end of the vesting period, including adjustments for actual forfeitures. The PSP-TSR awards are subject to a market condition, which based on the guidance in ASC 718 is reflected in the grant-date fair value. Compensation cost is recognized for the PSP-TSR awards, provided that the requisite service is rendered, regardless of when, if ever, the market condition is satisfied. In case of an outperformance of the PSP-TSR award compared to the targets, there will be no adjustment as long as the employee performs the requisite service period.
The weighted-average exercise price of PSP-TSR awards is zero. The following assumptions have been applied in the valuation model:
| TSR COMPONENT | ||
|---|---|---|
| FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, | ||
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Expected term | 3 years | 3 years |
| Risk free rate | 0.559% | 0.965% |
| Expected dividend yield | 3.2% | 3.2% |
The Company annually allocates PSUs of its publicly traded shares to eligible employees who are employed with the Company at the grant date. These awards are subject to a predefined cumulative diluted earnings per share performance condition, which has to be met over a measurement period of three years. The EPS condition is set based on an outside-in view, taking into account growth expectations, risk profile, investment levels and profitability levels.
PSUs granted under the PSP-EPS Plan will cliff-vest and be converted into the Company's shares in a range of 0% to 200% following the 3-year performance period, if the performance conditions are met. None of the PSP-EPS awards will vest if a minimum cumulative target on fully diluted EPS has not been achieved over the performance period.
The following tables summarize the activities under the PSP-EPS Plan for the financial years ended March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024:

The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense for the PSP-EPS Plan of USD 0.7 million and USD 2.1 million, respectively, for the financial years ended March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, which is included within General and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The total grant-date fair value of PSP-EPS awards that vested during the financial years ended March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, was USD 1.4 million and USD 1.3 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2025, total unrecognized compensation costs related to nonvested PSP-EPS awards were USD 1.3 million. These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years.
Equity-settled awards are recorded in the "Additional paid-in capital" component of shareholders' equity, with compensation cost recorded in General and administrative expenses over the vesting period, which is from the grant date to the end of the vesting period, including adjustments for actual forfeitures. The PSP-EPS awards are subject to a performance condition, which based on the guidance in ASC 718 is not reflected in the grant-date fair value. The actual number of PSUs that will vest can range from 0% to 200% of the grant, depending upon actual Company performance below or above the target level. The Company estimates performance in relation to the established target when determining the projected number of PSUs that will vest and calculating the compensation cost related to these awards. If it is not probable that the performance target for the EPS component will be achieved, then compensation expense recorded to date will be reversed.
The weighted-average exercise price of PSP-EPS awards is zero. The fair value of performance stock units granted under the PSP-EPS Plan is determined based on the closing price of the Company's shares at the day preceding the grant date less the present value of expected dividends.
The remuneration of the members of the Company's Board of Directors is paid 65% in cash and 35% in Landis+Gyr's shares, which are blocked for sale for a period of three years. In the financial years ended March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, the Company allotted 7,217 and 6,501 shares, respectively, out of the treasury stock, and recorded USD 0.7 million and USD 0.5 million, respectively, of expense which is included within General and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company sponsors an Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP"). The ESPP provides an opportunity for eligible employees to purchase Landis+Gyr's stock at preferential conditions. The Company's Board of Directors in its sole discretion determines if and when an offering shall be made, as well as the detailed parameters of such offering. By participating in the ESPP, an eligible employee may purchase Landis+Gyr's shares at a 15% discount from the SIX Swiss Exchange closing price at the date identified in each offering.
In connection with the ESPP, during the financial year ended March 31, 2025, the Company issued 13,207 shares out of treasury stock and recognized USD 0.1 million expense which is included within General and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The proceeds from the issuance of shares under the ESPP were USD 0.8 million, which is included within Cash flow from financing activities in the Consolidated Cash Flow Statements.
In connection with the ESPP, during the financial year ended March 31, 2024, the Company issued 12,686 shares out of treasury stock and recognized USD 0.2 million expense which is included within General and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The proceeds from the issuance of shares under the ESPP were USD 0.9 million, which is included within Cash flow from financing activities in the Consolidated Cash Flow Statements.
The Group is within the scope of the OECD Pillar Two model rules. Switzerland has enacted its Pillar 2 legislation per December 2023. The legislation is effective for the Group's financial year beginning April 1, 2024. The Group has performed an assessment and expects no top-up tax for the financial year ended March 31, 2025.

"Non-deductible goodwill impairment" relates to the goodwill impairment in this year.
"Tax effect of permanent differences on disposal of business" relates to tax-deductible impairment of Landis+Gyr EV Solutions in Switzerland.
"Change in valuation allowance" is an expense in the current year compared to a benefit in the prior year. Prior year change in valuation allowance was mainly driven by the release of the valuation allowance in India.
"Adjustments to prior year" includes true ups to prior year provisions. This is mainly related to the Americas reporting unit.

As of March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, the Company had total tax losses carried forward amounting to USD 324.2 million and USD 175.7 million, respectively.
The expiration of the tax losses carried forward as of March 31, 2025, is as follows:
| TAX LOSSES CARRIED FORWARD | |

| 2030 | 33,430 |
| Thereafter | 178,669 |
| Never expire | 83,662 |
| Total | 324,190 |
Due to "change in ownership" provisions in certain jurisdictions, the use of a portion of the Company's tax losses may be limited in future periods.
The Company believes that it is more likely than not that the benefit from certain net operating loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets will not be realized due to insufficient profit projections.
The Company considered all available evidence, both positive and negative, including historical levels of income, expectations and risks associated with estimates of future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for a valuation allowance.
The valuation allowances are mainly provided against net deferred tax assets in the United States, the United Kingdom, France and Switzerland. In the event that certain deferred tax assets become realizable, the reversal of the valuation allowance would result in a reduction in income tax expense, as in the prior year.
Deferred taxes on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries as of March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, are USD 10.9 million and USD 12.6 million, respectively.
The Company does not provide deferred taxes on temporary differences related to its foreign subsidiaries that are considered permanent in duration. Determination of the amount of deferred taxes on these temporary differences is not practical.
ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements. This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company has additional operating lease commitments, primarily for office space, that have not yet commenced of USD 0.3 million. These operating leases will commence in the following financial year with lease terms of 5 years.
On July 29, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of 75 percent of the issued and outstanding shares of Landis+Gyr EV Solutions. The resulting 25 percent noncontrolling interest was recorded at fair value as of the acquisition date. The noncontrolling interest holders had the option, which was embedded in the noncontrolling interest, to require the Company to acquire their ownership interests between October 1, 2024, and March 31, 2025. The combination of a noncontrolling interest and a redemption feature, outside of the control of the Company, resulted in a redeemable noncontrolling interest, which was presented after liabilities and before stockholders' equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
On April 8, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of the remaining outstanding common shares and voting rights of Landis+Gyr EV Solutions for USD 5.1 million cash consideration. The transaction was accounted for as an equity transaction with a redeemable noncontrolling interest and, accordingly, no gain or loss was recognized in the Company's earnings. The carrying amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interest was adjusted to reflect the change in its ownership interest in Landis+Gyr EV Solutions. The difference between the fair value of the consideration paid and the amount by which the noncontrolling interest was adjusted was not significant.
The following table provides quantitative data regarding the Company's third-party guarantees. The maximum potential payments represent a "worst-case scenario" and do not reflect management's expected outcomes.
| GUARANTEES | |
|---|---|
| Maximum potential payments (USD in million) | March 31, 2025 |
| Performance guarantees obtained from third parties | 151.8 |
| Financial guarantees issued in connection with financing activities | 436.5 |
| Financial guarantees issued in connection with lease agreements | 4.1 |
| Total | 592.4 |
The Company is often required to obtain bank guarantees, bid bonds or performance bonds in support of its obligations for customer tenders and contracts. These guarantees or bonds typically provide a guarantee to the customer for future performance, which usually covers the delivery phase of a contract and may, on occasion, cover the warranty phase. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had total outstanding performance bonds and bank and insurance guarantees of USD 151.8 million. In the event any such bank or insurance guarantee or performance bond is called, the Company would be obligated to reimburse the issuer of the guarantee or bond; however, the Company has no reason to expect that any outstanding guarantee or bond will be called.
In addition, the Company has entered into guarantees that provide financial assurances to certain third parties related to the outstanding lines of credit or to leasing arrangements, predominantly for office leases. The total amount was USD 440.6 million as of March 31, 2025.
Furthermore, the Company is party to various guarantees, whereby the Company has assured the performance of its wholly owned subsidiaries' products or services according to the terms of specific contracts. Such guarantees may include guarantees that a project will be completed within a specified time. If the subsidiary were to fail to fulfill its obligations under the contract, then the Company could be held responsible for the other party's damages resulting from such failure. Because the Company's liability under the guarantees typically matches the subsidiaries' liability under the primary contracts, such guarantees generally do not limit the guarantor's total potential liability where the liability results, for example, from personal injury or death or from intellectual property infringement. Therefore, it is not possible to specify the maximum potential amount of future payments that could be made under these or similar agreements. However, the Company has no reason to believe that any of the outstanding parent guarantees will ever be exercised, and the Company has not had to make payments against any such parent guarantees in the past.
The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims, the outcomes of which are subject to significant uncertainty. The Company's policy is to assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes related to legal matters, as well as ranges of probable losses. A determination of the amount of the liability required, if any, for these contingencies is made after an analysis of each known issue. A liability is recognized and charged to operating expense when the Company determines that a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.
In August 2015, Energisa SA and a number of related plaintiffs filed two related lawsuits in Brazil, alleging that the Company's electric meters were excessively vulnerable to fraud. The initial petitions requested the Company to provide new firmware to the plaintiffs and to reimburse their cost of installation in meters supplied with this firmware. A technical expert report has been completed and the cases have been consolidated. On May 10, 2024, the court published its sentence, rejecting Energisa's claim in its entirety. It stated that fraud was only proven in 397 meters in total, and the population of meters in question was acquired between 2008 and 2010, having exceeded their useful operating period, while only a small number of the meter population was actually exchanged during that time, the costs of which were borne by the end users, not Energisa. Therefore, granting the cost of updating all meters would generate illicit enrichment for Energisa. On August 16, 2024, the court rejected Energisa's Motion for Clarification, confirming the number of meters at 397. Energisa filed an appeal and although the Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of this case, it believes that the allegations are massively exaggerated and if overturned, any ruling in favor of Energisa would comprise only a liability for the costs of updating 397 meters. On February 7, 2025, the parties agreed to mutually suspend the proceedings for entertaining final settlement discussions, which are ongoing at the balance sheet date.
On October 5, 2015, the Romanian Competition Council ("RCC") launched an ex officio investigation against the Company together with several of its competitors on the alleged infringement of certain provisions of Romanian competition law in connection with auctions on the market of electricity meters and connected equipment. In response the Company immediately engaged external experts to conduct an extensive internal forensic investigation that did not reveal any violation of competition law. Additionally, the Company provided the RCC evidence demonstrating that it had not engaged in any of the alleged anti-competitive conduct. The Company is not materially active in the Romanian metering market nor was it materially active during the period under investigation. On January 4, 2018, the Plenum of the RCC issued its preliminary decision against the Company and five other companies and imposed a fine of RON 27.4 million (or USD 6.0 million, converted at the exchange rate as of March 31, 2025). In May 2018, the Company filed an appeal of the decision on the basis that it is significantly flawed and incorrect at fact and law. The referral request to the European Court of Justice was dismissed by the Court on April 26, 2022. After the oral announcement of the verdict in favor of RCC dismissing the Company's appeal and its subsidiary request to reduce the fine on August 8, 2022, L+G received the written verdict on January 17, 2025. L+G timely submitted the appeal, putting forward its arguments on the decision being flawed at fact and law. Although the Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of this case, it believes that it is probable that the fine will be reduced.
In addition to the cases listed above, Landis+Gyr and its subsidiaries are parties to various employment-related and administrative proceedings in jurisdictions where the Company operates. None of the proceedings are individually material to Landis+Gyr, and the Company believes that it has made adequate provision such that the ultimate disposition of the proceedings will not materially affect its business or financial condition.
In the normal course of business, the Company is party to various legal claims, actions and complaints. It is not possible to predict with certainty whether or not the Company will ultimately be successful in any of these legal matters, or if not, what the impact might be. However, the Company's management does not expect that the results of any of these legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Due to the nature of the Company's business, it may be subject to claims alleging infringement of intellectual property rights belonging to third parties in connection with some of the Company's products and technologies. In this context, the Company may also be exposed to allegations of patent infringement relating to communication or other technologies from time to time, for example, where the Company purchases components or technology from vendors, which may incorporate technology belonging to third parties. In these instances, the Company relies on the contractual indemnification from such vendors against the infringement of such third-party intellectual property rights. However, where such contractual rights prove unenforceable or not collectible, the Company may need to bear the full responsibility for damages, fees and costs resulting from such allegations of infringement. It could also be necessary for the Company to enter into direct licenses from third parties with regard to technologies incorporated into products supplied to the Company from such vendors. As of the date of these Consolidated Financial Statements, there is no active or ongoing litigation related to such allegations of infringement and associated indemnification from vendors.
The Company generally provides an indemnification related to the infringement of any patent, copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property right on software or equipment within its customer contracts. This indemnification typically covers damages and related costs, including attorney's fees with respect to an indemnified claim, provided that (a) the customer promptly notifies the Company in writing of the claim and (b) the Company controls the defense and all related settlement negotiations. The Company may also provide an indemnification to its customers for third party claims resulting from damages caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of its employees/agents under certain contracts. These indemnification obligations typically do not have liability caps. It is not possible to predict the maximum potential amount of future payments under these or similar agreements.

As a result, the Company has taken several actions to reduce fixed costs, eliminate redundancies, strengthen operational focus and better position itself to respond to market pressures or unfavorable economic conditions.
During the financial year ended March 31, 2025, the Company continued its restructuring effort, aimed at reducing costs and improving operating performance. In connection with these restructuring plans, the Company recognized costs related to termination benefits for employee positions that were eliminated. The total initiatives in the financial year ended March 31, 2025, represent approximately USD 8.1 million in primarily severance related costs.

The Company conducts business with certain companies where members of the Company's Board of Directors or Executive Committee act, or in recent years have acted, as directors or senior executives. The Company's Board of Directors has determined that the Company's business relationships with those companies do not constitute material business relationships. This determination was made in accordance with the Company's related party transaction policy which was prepared based on the Swiss Code of Best Practice.
The Company generates the majority of its revenue in the United States and Europe, with the balance in Asia Pacific, the Middle East, Africa, South America and Canada. None of the Company's customers exceeded 10% of the consolidated revenue for the financial years ended March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024. The majority of the revenue is derived from the sale of energy meters.
Approximately 37% of the Company's workforce is subject to collective bargaining agreements expiring between 2025 and 2037. Approximately 1% of the Company's workforce is subject to collective bargaining agreements expiring within one year.
The Company is organized in a geographical structure into the following operating segments:
The Americas generates the majority of its revenue in the United States, with the balance produced in Canada, Central America, South America, Japan and certain other markets which adopt US standards. The Americas reportable segment designs, manufactures, markets and sells products for the Company's three growth platforms: Smart Metering, Grid Edge Intelligence and Smart Infrastructure technology. Product examples are Landis+Gyr's Gridstream® Connect platform, advanced metering infrastructure solutions, Revelo® meters, smart electricity meters, commercial/industrial and grid meters, communication modules for water and gas meters, street light controllers, distribution automation, system deployment services, managed network services and other advanced metering infrastructure offerings including software (head end system ("HES"), meter data management ("MDM"), analytics), installation, implementation, consulting, maintenance support and related services.
The EMEA segment produces the majority of its revenue in Europe with the balance generated in the Middle East, South Africa and certain other markets which adopt European standards. The EMEA reportable segment designs, manufactures, markets and sells products for the Company's three growth platforms: Smart Metering, Grid Edge Intelligence and Smart Infrastructure technology. Product examples are advanced metering infrastructure solutions, smart electricity meters, prepayment electricity meters, commercial/industrial and grid meters, smart gas meters and prepayment solutions, heat meters and solutions, load control devices, system deployment services, managed network services and advanced metering infrastructure offerings including software (HES, MDM, analytics), installation, implementation, consulting, maintenance support and related services.
The Asia Pacific segment generates the majority of its revenue in Australia, China, Hong Kong and Singapore, while the balance is generated in other markets in Asia. The Asia Pacific reportable segment designs, manufactures, markets and sells products for the Company's three growth platforms: Smart Metering, Grid Edge Intelligence and Smart Infrastructure technology. Product examples are advanced metering infrastructure solutions, non-smart and smart electricity meters, prepayment electricity meters, commercial/industrial and grid meters, gas meters, heat and water meters and solutions, load control devices, system deployment services and advanced metering infrastructure offerings including software (HES, MDM, analytics), installation, implementation, consulting, maintenance support and related services.
The Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") is the Company's Chief Executive Officer. The CODM allocates resources to and assesses the performance of each operating segment using the information outlined in the table below. Each operating segment offers products for different applications and markets and provides separate financial information that is evaluated regularly by the CODM. Decisions by the CODM on how to allocate resources and assess performance are based on a reported measure of segment profitability.
The CODM assesses the segment's performance primarily by using each segment's net revenue to third parties (excluding any inter-company sales) and the adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA"). Management defines Adjusted EBITDA as operating income (loss) excluding (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) impairment of intangible assets, (iii) restructuring charges, (iv) warranty normalization adjustments, (v) change in unrealized gains and losses on derivatives where the underlying hedged transactions have not yet been realized and (vi) transformation expenses.
The CODM primarily reviews the results of each segment on a basis that is before the elimination of profits made on inventory sales between segments. The Company accounts for intersegment sales and transfers under the same conditions as between unrelated third parties, that is, at market prices.
The CODM assesses net revenue to third parties and Adjusted EBITDA for each segment predominantly in the annual budget and periodic forecasting processes. The CODM considers budget-to-actual and forecast-to-actual variances for these measures when making decisions about the allocation of operating and capital resources to each segment.

to the General Meeting of Landis+Gyr Group AG, Cham
We have audited the financial statements of Landis+Gyr Group AG (the Company), which comprise the balance sheet as at 31 March 2025, and the income statement for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the financial statements (pages 72 to 78) comply with Swiss law and the Company's articles of incorporation.
We conducted our audit in accordance with Swiss law and Swiss Standards on Auditing (SA-CH). Our responsibilities under those provisions and standards are further described in the 'Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements' section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the provisions of Swiss law and the requirements of the Swiss audit profession, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. Our audit opinion aims to provide reasonable assurance that 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 materiality for the financial statements as a whole 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, both individually and in aggregate, on the financial statements as a whole.
| Overall materiality | CHF 12'000'000 |
|---|---|
| Benchmark applied | Total Assets |
| Rationale for the materiality benchmark applied |
We chose Total Assets as the benchmark because, in our view, it is the most relevant measure for the activities of Landis+Gyr Group AG as a holding company. |
We agreed with the Audit, Finance and Risk Committee that we would report to them misstatements above CHF 600'000 identified during our audit as well as any misstatements below that amount which, in our view, warranted reporting for qualitative reasons.
We designed our audit by determining materiality and assessing the risks of material misstatement in the financial statements. In particular, we considered where subjective judgements were made; for example, in respect of significant accounting estimates that involved making assumptions and considering future events that are inherently uncertain. 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.
We tailored the scope of our audit in order to perform sufficient work to enable us to provide an opinion on the financial statements as a whole, taking into account the structure of the Company, the accounting processes and controls, and the industry in which the Company operates.
We have determined that there are no key audit matters to communicate in our report.
The Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, but does not include the financial statements, the consolidated financial statements, the remuneration report and our auditor's reports thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
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.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of financial statements in accordance with the provisions of Swiss law and the Company's articles of incorporation, and for such internal control as the Board of Directors determines 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 is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has 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 Swiss law and SA-CH 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 Swiss law and SA-CH, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
We communicate with the Board of Directors or its relevant committee 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 the Board of Directors or its relevant committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them regarding all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.
From the matters communicated with the Board of Directors or its relevant committee, 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.
In accordance with article 728a para. 1 item 3 CO and PS-CH 890, we confirm the existence of an internal control system that has been designed, pursuant to the instructions of the Board of Directors, for the preparation of the financial statements.
Based on our audit according to article 728a para. 1 item 2 CO, we further confirm that the proposed appropriation of the accumulated deficit and the statutory capital reserves comply with Swiss law and the Company's articles of incorporation. We recommend that the financial statements submitted to you be approved.

See notes to the statutory financial statements.
These standalone financial statements have been prepared in accordance with articles 957–963b of the Swiss Code of Obligations (CO).
Landis+Gyr Group AG, Cham, Switzerland (the "Company") reports its Consolidated Financial Statements on the basis of a recognized standard (US GAAP) and has therefore, in accordance with the legal provisions, decided not to provide a separate management report, a separate statement of cash flows or notes on the audit fees and on interest-bearing liabilities in these Statutory Financial Statements.
The above content is reflected in the "Performance Report", "Corporate Governance Report" and "Financial Report" sections of the Company's Annual Report.
Landis+Gyr Group AG is the parent company of the Landis+Gyr group of companies, which is a leading global provider of energy management solutions.
The Company's registered ordinary shares are listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange.
The Company's functional currency is the US Dollar, translated into Swiss Francs for statutory financial reporting purposes. Transactions during the year denominated in foreign currencies are translated and recorded in US Dollars at actual exchange rates prevailing on the dates of the transactions. Profits and losses on exchange are recognized in the income statement, with the exception of unrealized gains, which are deferred until they are realized.
With the exception of investments and equity which are translated at historical rates, all other assets and liabilities are translated into Swiss Francs using the year-end closing rate, whereas income and expenses are translated using the average exchange rate. Foreign currency exchange losses arising from translation are shown as currency translation differences under financial expense. Foreign currency exchange gains arising from translation are deferred on the balance sheet. A foreign exchange translation gain of CHF 47.1 million (prior year: CHF 42.8 million) has been deferred on the balance sheet.
The current year foreign exchange rate realized loss was less than CHF 0.1 million. In the prior year, a foreign exchange gain of CHF 1.2 million was realized. These realized exchange rate gains and losses are not taxable as the taxable currency is equivalent to the functional currency which is the US Dollar.
The investment in subsidiary is carried at cost less adjustments for impairment, if any. The investment is reviewed annually for impairment and adjusted to the recoverable amount in instances where the carrying value is determined to be in excess of the recoverable amount.
Financial assets are valued at acquisition cost less adjustments for foreign currency losses and any other impairment of value.
The Company did not have any employees in the financial years ended March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024.
As at the balance sheet date, the Company holds the following direct investment:

On March 31, 2025, the share capital represented 28,908,944 (prior year: 28,908,944) authorized, registered and issued ordinary shares with restricted transferability with a nominal value of CHF 10 each. The restricted transferability is related to the fact that the Company can reject a shareholder not disclosing the beneficial owner. Registered ordinary shares carry one vote per share, as well as the right to dividend.
The share capital of the Company may be increased by up to CHF 4,500,000 by issuing up to 450,000 fully paid-up registered shares with a nominal value of CHF 10 each, upon the exercise of option rights or in connection with similar rights regarding shares granted to officers and employees at all levels of the Company and its subsidiaries according to respective regulations and resolutions of the Board of Directors. This conditional share capital has been approved and is available for use. As of March 31, 2025, no shares were issued from this conditional share capital.
Furthermore, the share capital of the Company may be increased by up to CHF 28,908,940 by the issuance of up to 2,890,894 fully paid-up registered shares with a nominal value of CHF 10 each, upon the exercise or mandatory exercise of conversion, exchange, option, warrant or similar rights for the subscription of shares granted to shareholders or third parties alone or in connection with bonds, notes, loans, options, warrants or other securities or contractual obligations of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2025, no shares were issued from this conditional share capital.
The Company has a capital band ranging from CHF 260,180,500 (lower limit) to CHF 317,998,380 (upper limit). The Board of Directors shall be authorized within the capital band to increase or reduce the share capital once or several times and in any amounts or to acquire or dispose of shares directly or indirectly, until June 22, 2026, or until an earlier expiry of the capital band. The capital increase or reduction may be effected by issuing up to 2,890,894 fully paid-in registered shares with a nominal value of CHF 10 each and canceling up to 2,890,894 registered shares with a nominal value of CHF 10 each, as applicable, or by increasing or reducing the nominal value of the existing shares within the limits of the capital band.
Until June 22, 2026, or an earlier expiry of the capital band, the total number of newly issued shares which may be issued with the restriction or withdrawal of advance subscription rights or pre-emptive rights (1) from the conditional capital and (2) from the capital band must not exceed 2,890,894 new shares.

The statutory capital reserves balance per March 31, 2024, has been approved by the tax authorities.
The transfer to the reserve for treasury shares held by subsidiary is outlined in Note 8: Treasury Shares and Reserve for Treasury Shares Held by Subsidiary.
During the financial years ended March 31, 2025, and March 31,2024, 7,217 and 6,501 treasury shares, respectively, were purchased and delivered as compensation-in-kind to the members of the Board of Directors.
The movement in the number of Treasury shares during the year was as follows:
| FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2025 | 2024 | 2024 | |
| Number of shares | Average acquisition price per share (in CHF) |

| Delivery of shares | (7,217) | 75.90 | (6,501) | 90.47 |
| Treasury shares – closing balance as of March 31, |
– | – | – | – |
In addition, a subsidiary company, Landis+Gyr AG, also purchased shares in the Company, and as of March 31, 2025, held 89,337 shares (prior year: 54,456 shares) at an average acquisition price of CHF 55.20 per share (prior year: CHF 69.93) which are reserved for the employee and Board compensation plans.
During the year, the subsidiary purchased 120,000 additional shares and the number of shares transferred to the Company for distribution to Board members was 7,217 (average purchase price of CHF 75.90).
The value of the movement of shares held by Landis+Gyr AG, amounting to CHF 1.1 million (prior year: CHF 1.2 million), during the year has been debited to the Statutory capital reserves and credited to the Reserve for treasury shares held by subsidiary.
Landis+Gyr Group AG forms part of the Swiss VAT group of Landis+Gyr and is therefore a liable party for any tax liabilities. The VAT group consists of Landis+Gyr AG, Landis+Gyr Group AG and Caligyr AG.
The Company has entered into guarantees that provide financial assurances to certain third parties related to the outstanding lines of credit. The total amount was CHF 336 million and CHF 288 million as of March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, respectively. The exchange rates used to convert the maximum liability amounts into CHF are USD 0.88 (prior year: 0.90) and EUR 0.96 (prior year: 0.97).
The Company is party to various guarantees, whereby the Company has assured the performance of its wholly owned subsidiaries' products or services according to the terms of specific contracts. Such guarantees may include guarantees that a project will be completed within a specified time. If the subsidiary were to fail to fulfill its obligations under the contract, then the Company could be held responsible for the other party's damages resulting from such failure. Because the Company's liability under the guarantees typically matches the subsidiaries' liability under the primary contracts, such guarantees generally do not limit the guarantor's total potential liability where the liability results, for example, from personal injury or death or from intellectual property infringement. Therefore, it is not possible to specify the maximum potential amount of future payments that could be made under these or similar agreements. However, the Company has no reason to believe that any of the outstanding parent guarantees will ever be exercised, and the Company has not had to make payments against any such parent guarantees in the past.
At March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, the members of the Board held the following number of shares in the Company:

As we reflect on Landis+Gyr's sustainability journey over the past year, our commitment to embedding sustainability into our strategy and operations has grown even stronger. Sustainability remains integral to our vision, and we continuously strive to deepen our impact in alignment with global best practices and standards.
I am pleased to reaffirm Landis+Gyr's steadfast support for the ten principles of the United Nations Global Compact in the areas of human rights, labor, environment, and anticorruption. Through this annual activity report, and thanks to continuous innovation and collaboration, we transparently demonstrate our ongoing efforts to integrate these principles into our strategy, corporate culture, and daily operations, further contributing to the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
In FY 2024, we continued to drive decarbonization efforts throughout our entire value chain, achieving notable progress at both product and operational levels. Our installed base of smart meters enabled remarkable savings of 9 million tons of CO2 emissions. Furthermore, the percentage of products shipped delivering significant environmental benefits, classified within our Eco-Portfolio, increased to 89%, up from 84% in FY 2023, clearly reflecting our ongoing innovation in sustainable solutions.
We remain committed to achieving our Science-Based Targets (SBTs) and made strong progress in FY 2024. Renewable electricity now accounts for 96% of our total electricity consumption, up from 79% in the previous year, and we remain on track to achieve our ambitious goal of reaching 100% renewable electricity by FY 2025 – five years ahead of our original target. In addition, we are pleased to report that we have achieved our SBT for combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions, reducing these emissions by 67% compared to our FY 2021 baseline, surpassing our target by 25%. This significant progress is the result of increased renewable energy usage, enhanced energy efficiency, and the ongoing electrification of our vehicle fleet. Regarding Scope 3 emissions, while absolute figures rose by 4% compared to FY 2021, they decreased by 12% relative to every USD 100 of net revenue, reflecting continued improvements in carbon efficiency throughout our value chain.
Beyond emissions reduction, we have also achieved significant improvements in our environmental performance, notably reducing our waste generation by 19% and increasing the proportion of waste recycling by 5% compared to last year. These initiatives highlight our holistic approach to environmental stewardship, demonstrating that we consider all aspects of our operational impact.
Moreover, we remain dedicated to fostering a safe and inclusive work environment. This year, our focused efforts in occupational health and safety resulted in a noteworthy decrease in our lost time incident frequency rate from 1.14 to 0.85. We also continued to prioritize employee development, with average training hours per employee surpassing 30 hours in FY 2024. Our employees' commitment and contributions have been fundamental to achieving these successes, and we continuously invest in initiatives that empower our workforce, enhance employee well-being, and strengthen our inclusive company culture.
Our sustainability efforts have received outstanding external recognition. We are particularly proud to have been awarded the EcoVadis Platinum rating, placing us among the top 1% of companies evaluated globally. In FY 2024, we also became a member of the Responsible Business Alliance, further underscoring our commitment to advancing supply chain sustainability. In line with this commitment, we intensified our due diligence across our supply chain, conducting 52 ESG audits that covered 92.5% of our direct material spend.
We recognize the vital role focus and collaboration play in advancing sustainability. By working closely with our partners, suppliers, customers, and industry peers, we can amplify our collective impact. Our collaborative approach has allowed us to share best practices, learn from each other, and jointly tackle pressing sustainability challenges, further underscoring our role as a sustainability leader.
As part of our strong commitment to transparency and regulatory compliance, we have launched a project to align our reporting systems and processes with the requirements of the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). This initiative, including our recently completed Double Materiality Assessment (DMA), ensures that we proactively integrate the evolving European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) into our broader sustainability strategy.
Looking ahead, Landis+Gyr remains dedicated to advancing sustainability and driving positive change. We are positioned at the forefront of a rapidly evolving landscape, characterized by increasing resource scarcity, rising energy demands, and the urgent transition toward cleaner, sustainable energy solutions. And as you will read in this report, we are enabling this transformative era by prioritizing all our stakeholders, with a deep commitment to environmental stewardship and social responsibility at the core of our mission.
With your continued partnership and support, I am confident we will make meaningful contributions to a sustainable future for all.
Thank you for your unwavering support and collaboration.

Sincerely,
Peter Mainz
Chief Executive Officer

At Landis+Gyr, we strive to create a greener future – one in which environmental responsibility, social justice, good governance and economic prosperity are the norm. At the heart of our sustainability efforts is a commitment to pioneering solutions that not only reduce environmental impact and contribute to decarbonization but also empower entire communities and drive positive societal change. Through continuous innovation and collaboration, we strive to embed responsible business practices across our operations and value chain, contributing to a more sustainable and equitable future for generations to come.
Since our foundation in 1896, Landis+Gyr has witnessed a world of transformation, yet our core purpose has remained unchanged: to manage energy better. This mission resonates even more profoundly today as the world transitions from fossil fuels to sustainable energy sources.
Our innovative product portfolio is at the forefront of empowering people and organizations to conserve resources and drive the decarbonization of the grid, fostering a sustainable and equitable future:
Our smart water metering solutions are key to conserving vital water resources. By detecting and addressing leaks, they ensure the sustainability and affordability of this precious resource, while supporting reliable utility services.
Our grid edge intelligence services are transforming the way utilities modernize and decarbonize the grid. These services enhance energy efficiency, facilitate the integration of renewable energy sources, and manage the complexities of decentralized generation.

As a company, we take pride in our products and solutions and the positive impact they have both on people and the planet. Just as important is ensuring that this impact is achieved in a responsible and ethical way. For this reason, we have established fundamental commitments along four critical dimensions to guide us and our employees toward a sustainable business approach (see table below).
Landis+Gyr organizes sustainability initiatives in threeyear cycles. Before initiating a new cycle, we perform a comprehensive materiality assessment to identify ESG material topics and establish priorities. This assessment serves as the foundation for defining tailored actions, targets and metrics that guide our efforts over the next three years.

DRIVING AMBITIOUS CORPORATE CLIMATE ACTION

Stakeholder engagement is a key aspect of our ESG approach. The Company maintains an ongoing dialog with a wide range of stakeholders at both the local and global level to understand their perspectives on the evolving ESG landscape. The insights gained from these interactions are critical in shaping our sustainability goals and ensuring our strategies align with stakeholders' expectations regarding our sustainability performance. An integral part of this engagement is the consultation with different stakeholders on material topics before initiating a new ESG cycle.
Landis+Gyr uses a stakeholder map as the basis for its stakeholder engagement (see table below "Landis+Gyr in Dialog"). Stakeholders are selected based on their relevance and possible influence on the Company and are regularly monitored and updated if necessary. While we maintain ongoing exchanges with certain stakeholders, such as employees, suppliers, partners, customers and investors, our interactions with others, such as regulators, are more sporadic or tied to specific events, such as the establishment of a new threeyear ESG cycle.

Membership associations are highly relevant to Landis+Gyr as they offer valuable networking opportunities, industry insights, advocacy and access to resources to drive growth and enhance our market position. Special attention is given to our involvement in standardization bodies and industry alliances and associations. The most important memberships are listed as follows: – Acqua
Furthermore, we are represented in several chambers of commerce and international/national standardization bodies, such as:
– TC13, TC57, TC47, SC77A – International Electrotech nical Commission (IEC)

– ANSI C12 – American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
Landis+Gyr completed its first formal materiality assess ment in 2018. In 2021, the Company revised and up dated its material topics, building the basis for its ESG management cycle FY 2022–FY 2024. This process was conducted in line with the GRI reporting standards. To ensure the independence and objectivity of the process, the Company engaged an external consulting firm to carry out the assessment.
As a starting point, Landis+Gyr relied on the materiality assessment conducted in 2018. Additionally, the Com pany incorporated input from peer benchmarking, glob ally recognized sustainability standards and initiatives and a stock-taking exercise to ascertain the level of progress reached with regards to the various material ESG topics. This resulted in a list of fourteen poten tially material topics. Representatives of the most criti cal stakeholder groups were then invited to participate in interviews and surveys to assess the topics in three
All stakeholder inputs were captured, analyzed and mapped onto a materiality matrix, which depicts all ma terial topics according to relevance and impact. This resulted in ten material topics in four dimensions. The final materiality matrix was then presented to the Board of Directors and ultimately approved.
As FY 2024 marks the end of the FY 2022–FY 2024 cycle, this year we conducted a new materiality assessment to define our strategic actions, targets and metrics for FY 2025–FY 2027. This assessment ensures our approach remains relevant and aligned with evolving ESG priori ties. For detailed insights, refer to the section "Double Materiality Assessment 2024".

As part of our sustainability strategy, we aim to contribute globally to sustainable development in line with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Our 10 ESG material topics are grouped into four dimensions: Products & Solutions, Climate & Environment, People & Well-being and Business Ecosystem. For each dimension, the Company has defined its approach and priorities and identified how they relate to the SDGs (see illustration below).
In line with its ten material topics and the prioritized SDGs, the Company has defined long-term ambitions, targets, KPIs and actions to drive progress in all four dimensions:

Performance Insights & KPIs
At Landis+Gyr, the Board of Directors' (BoD) active involvement in sustainability matters is instrumental to ensure its integration into our business strategy and corporate culture. Furthermore, through regular engagement with stakeholders such as investors, business partners and employees, the BoD reviews their feedback to inform strategic decisions, enhance ESG initiatives and thereby ensure alignment between sustainability goals, business practices and stakeholder expectations.
The BoD has established three committees, each of which plays a key role in overseeing and shaping the Company's sustainability efforts:
The NGSC is responsible for sustainability matters (including environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues) that impact the Company and its stakeholders. It develops recommendations to the Board regarding the Company's sustainability matters, practices and procedures, and reviews and recommends to the Board the Company's Sustainability Report and other public disclosures on sustainability. The committee establishes and monitors ESG targets and supports the Remuneration Committee in target setting for compensation purposes. Additionally, it advises the Board on potential or actual conflicts between business practices and sustainability goals. The NGSC ensures ESG topics are addressed in every committee meeting.
The AFRC is responsible for reviewing risks, including ESG-related risks, and ensuring the effectiveness of our risk management and business continuity systems.

Performance Report Corporate Governance Report Remuneration Report Financial Report Sustainability Report Landis+Gyr – Annual Report 2024 27
The RemCo plays a vital role in aligning ESG targets with employee incentive programs, ensuring sustainability is deeply ingrained in the Company's culture and operations.
The Board of Directors defines the Company's sustainability strategy and promotes a culture of entrepreneurship grounded by integrity, long-term thinking and responsibility. In FY 2024, the BoD received refresher training on various ESG-related topics such as regulations, reporting, and emerging trends. More information regarding the involvement of the BoD and its committees in ESG matters can be found in Landis+Gyr's "Corporate Governance Report".
At the Company level, the ESG Steering Committee (ESG SteerCo) oversees and advises on the definition and implementation of our three-year ESG roadmap and its associated targets. Several members of this committee report directly to the CEO, emphasizing the strategic importance of ESG within our leadership structure.
Additionally, a global ESG function has been established to coordinate and monitor the implementation of our ESG roadmaps and to drive the execution of strategic ESG initiatives. This function is deliberately kept lean to foster a Company-wide culture where ESG mindset, ownership and responsibility are embedded throughout the organization. Furthermore, dedicated committees are established to address critical issues such as Human Rights and ESG Supplier Due Diligence. Leveraging insights and expertise from various functions, these groups ensure that topics are managed to meet stakeholder expectations, Company commitments and legal/ regulatory requirements.
(GRI 2-23, 2-24, 2-25, 2-26)
The Code of Business Ethics and Conduct (the Code) serves as Landis+Gyr's ethical compass and the cornerstone of our responsible business practices, outlining our principles, integrity standards and norms of behavior. Aligned with the ten principles of the UN Global Compact, the Code applies to all directors, officers, leaders, employees and agents acting on behalf of the Company.
The Code is provided to employees and partners prior to establishing a contractual relationship, making compliance with its principles a binding obligation. It is publicly accessible on our website and available in multiple languages, providing transparent and clear guidance on our internal and external business conduct. The Code is supplemented by additional policies such as the Anti-Corruption Policy, the Human Rights Policy and the Unfair Competition and Antitrust Policy. It is regularly reviewed and updated to maintain its relevance and effectiveness, with any significant amendments requiring approval from our Board of Directors.
Our Legal and Compliance department oversees adherence to the Code. In addition, our Internal Audit function conducts audits and reviews to proactively identify potential compliance risks, policy gaps or process weaknesses, supporting adherence to regulatory requirements and internal controls. To further reinforce compliance with the Code, employees participate in regular training sessions, ensuring a thorough understanding of the Code and its application.
We also extend our ethical expectations to suppliers and business partners through dedicated policies, including the Company's Supplier Code of Conduct and the Agent, Distributor and Reseller Code of Conduct.
Landis+Gyr empowers every employee to report any suspected violations of laws, regulations or our internal policies through multiple channels: direct communication with supervisors or with the Chief Compliance Officer, or anonymously via our Speak-Up tool or through our external ombudsperson. These channels, available in multiple languages, are accessible to all stakeholders via our website or via direct contact to a third-party website for anonymous reports using either e-mail or telephone. Furthermore, the Company has established a dedicated Speak-Up channel specifically for human rights concerns. This system is open not only to Landis+Gyr employees but also to external stakeholders within our value chain, including our supply chain and business partners.
Any substantiated issues are addressed by either the Chief Compliance Officer or the relevant business functions. We ensure appropriate remediation actions, which may include disciplinary measures, procedural adjustments or policy revisions, reinforcing our culture of integrity and accountability. (GRI 2-25, 2-26)
The ESG Directive outlines Landis+Gyr's deep-rooted commitment to sustainability, covering a broad spectrum of areas, including environmental stewardship, human and labor rights and a safe, inclusive workplace. These commitments align with our Code of Business Ethics and Conduct and extend across our operations and value chain. The Directive is reviewed and updated every three years, incorporating insights from various ESG topic experts within our organization and stakeholder feedback to ensure continuous improvement.
The findings from our materiality assessment are transformed into specific ESG roadmaps. These roadmaps outline targeted actions, responsible individuals, deadlines and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) over a threeyear period. Our ESG function collaborates with internal departments to drive and monitor the implementation of these initiatives. Progress is reviewed quarterly, reported to the ESG Steering Committee, the Landis+Gyr Board of Directors and its committees. ESG roadmaps are updated following each materiality assessment to maintain relevance and impact.
Landis+Gyr's ESG management process is depicted in the illustration below.

At Landis+Gyr, we prioritize robust risk management to safeguard our operations and ensure sustainable business practices. Our approach integrates both bottom-up and top-down methodologies to assess macro trends and specific business risks. For further insights into our Group risk management process and findings, see our "Performance Report".
Group risk management falls under the purview of the Corporate Strategy function. Close collaboration between the ESG and Strategy functions is maintained to identify, assess, mitigate and monitor ESG risks comprehensively. We report proactively to our Company's Management and Board of Directors on significant risks and corresponding mitigation measures.
Our ESG risk identification and assessment process operates as a funnel, starting with focused analyses designed to pinpoint and evaluate a range of ESG risks. By assessing the likelihood and potential impact of these risks, we prioritize those that would have significant impact on both our business and stakeholders. In line with our sustainability commitment and to fulfil our due diligence obligations, we conduct detailed risk assessments in the areas of human rights and supply chain. Additionally, we perform a dedicated climate risk assessment in line with the recommendations of the TCFD framework.

Upon completion of our detailed risk assessments, the resulting insights are condensed and transferred into an ESG risk monitoring matrix. This matrix provides us with a holistic view of the key ESG risks identified across various areas, facilitating effective communication and proactive management of these risks.
Finally, the risks identified in this monitoring matrix as having the highest impact are selected for integration into the Company's risk management system. This integration ensures that ESG risks are systematically addressed and included in the annual Group Risk Management evaluation process.
Currently, this process is being aligned to match the requirements under the Double Materiality Assessment, as stipulated by the CSRD regulation.
The Company's management is responsible for the definition, implementation, monitoring and reporting of risk mitigation measures. A risk owner at the senior management level is assigned to each material risk identified and tasked with executing appropriate mitigation measures. This individual or team ensures the establishment of relevant controls, policies or procedures to manage and reduce exposure to these risks effectively. The Strategy function supports ongoing monitoring to ensure the effectiveness of risk mitigation measures and verifies they remain relevant and adequate. Updates on significant risks and the corresponding mitigation measures are regularly provided to the Company's Management and Board of Directors.

The CSRD (together with the ESRS) significantly expand disclosure requirements beyond reporting standards and frameworks (GRI and TCFD) currently employed by the Company in its sustainability reporting. To ensure full compliance, we are implementing a structured transition, including a Double Materiality Assessment, gap analysis, and process enhancements to align with the new reporting standards.
The release of the EU Omnibus package on February 26, 2025, has introduced uncertainty regarding the applicability of the CSRD and the final disclosure requirements. Landis+Gyr is actively monitoring the situation and plans to continue preparations to enhance its sustainability reporting system until negotiations on the EU Omnibus proposal are finalized.
The first step toward CSRD compliance is conducting a Double Materiality Assessment (DMA), a process essential for identifying and assessing sustainability-related impacts, risks and opportunities (IROs) from two materiality perspectives:
Beyond identifying and assessing material sustainability matters, the DMA helps to determine which reporting standards, disclosures and data points must be included in our Company's sustainability report. Therefore, the DMA serves as the foundation for Landis+Gyr's ESRS-aligned reporting framework.
In FY 2024, Landis+Gyr conducted its first DMA, following the guidance provided by the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG). The process began with the development of a comprehensive list of sustainability impacts, risks and opportunities (IROs), structured around the 10 established ESRS topics. IROs were defined based on our FY 2021 materiality assessment, along with research into emerging trends, topical developments, and evolving regulatory requirements. This resulted in the identification of 86 IROs.
The next step was to review our list of relevant external and internal stakeholders. For external stakeholders, we identified the following groups as relevant to Company and value chain:
Internally, our identified stakeholders spanned experts from diverse functions and departments, reflecting the broad range of sustainability matters in the scope of our assessment. Our discussions aimed to gather stakeholder perspectives on the proposed list of IROs, identify additional IROs and understand expectations regarding the Company's approach to these matters. Engagement took place through structured interviews with external stakeholders and interactive workshops with internal teams. Specifically, we conducted 3 workshops with 18 internal stakeholders and 11 interviews with external stakeholders to gather their insights.
1 Employees were considered both internal and external stakeholders. As internal stakeholders, they provided expertise and operational insights on the intersection of our business and sustainability matters. As external stakeholders, we engaged them to better understand their perspectives on employment-related matters, including their views on Landis+Gyr as an employer.
Following stakeholder engagement, we consolidated the inputs gathered and conducted a qualitative assessment and rating of each based on the following:
This assessment led to the identification of 30 material IROs.
IROs were mapped to the corresponding ESRS topic (e.g., the impact of greenhouse gas emissions from transport was mapped to E1 Climate Change). To determine whether reporting on a topic is required, it is sufficient to have a single material IRO under that topic. If an IRO can be specifically mapped to a sub-theme or sub-sub-theme, the reporting scope can be narrowed down accordingly.
To visualize the results in a materiality matrix, we averaged all IROs within each topic. The updated matrix will be published in next year's sustainability report and will serve as the foundation for developing ESG roadmaps for the FY 2025–FY 2027 cycle. While the materiality matrix provides strategic guidance and aids visualization, it does not dictate the level of reporting required.

Landis+Gyr's products exceed regulatory and industry standards such as IEC, CENELEC, ETSI and RED.2 Internally, we uphold standards that are either more stringent than industry norms or cover aspects not currently regulated to ensure that meters do not pose any health and safety risks. Every new product development (100%) is designed in line with strict product safety requirements and regulations. Our devices undergo rigorous internal and external testing, with many requiring certifications by government agencies prior to installation in the field.
To further ensure the safety of our products, we have developed a guideline document on hazards, risks & controls for electricity meters. This document lists known hazards and risks faced by electricity meters, which are not covered by existing safety standards. It includes recommended controls designed to effectively mitigate these hazards and associated risks, ensuring the safety and reliability of our products. This is complemented by our quality processes, which are designed to ensure the safety of our products.
During the product conception and development phases, we focus on enhancing security, safety and installer health – from the product conception, throughout the development phases until the end-of-life handling. Our product packaging has been designed not only to ensure the safety of our products but also to protect the safety of those involved in their handling.
Landis+Gyr's products operate autonomously and primarily interact with other devices, minimizing the need for direct human interaction. Where physical interaction is required, those handling the product are properly instructed and trained. Our informational leaflets and guidelines provide essential health and safety guidance for those handling Landis+Gyr products.
In case of issues, Landis+Gyr has a robust Quality Crisis Management & Resolution Procedure in place and collaborates with customers to mitigate and resolve any incidents. In FY 2024, Landis+Gyr did not identify any instances of non-compliance with regulations and/or voluntary codes.
The Product Environmental (Sustainability) Policy establishes the environmental requirements our products must adhere to throughout the various stages of the product lifecycle. These requirements often surpass existing standards and regulations, reflecting our dedication to sustainability.

| Main KPIs | FY 2022 | FY 2023 | FY 2024 | Target FY 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Share of products in Eco-Portfolio | 78.0% | 84.3% | 89.1% | 90.0% |
| Waste to landfill | 6.2% | 6.3% | 5.7% | 1.0% |
At Landis+Gyr, resource efficiency is at the core of our products, and we strive to embed this philosophy throughout the entire product lifecycle – from design to end of life. We recognize the finite nature of our planet's resources and the alarming rate at which current consumption depletes them. In response to this pressing challenge, we are committed to moving beyond the linear take-make-use-waste model by embracing circular economy principles, optimizing resource utilization and minimizing waste generation across our operations and products. By maximizing the value of each resource and extending its lifespan, we aim to minimize waste and reduce our overall environmental footprint, safeguarding natural resources and preserving the environment for future generations.
Our commitment to responsible resource usage and circular economy principles is guided by our ESG Directive and reinforced by several policies and manuals that define the environmental requirements for product design, sourcing and end-of-life management. These documents are periodically reviewed and updated to integrate the latest developments in sustainability practices, regulatory standards and industry best practices.
Ensuring efficient and responsible resource use is a collaborative effort involving multiple departments, including ESG, Procurement, Product Management, Product Environmental Compliance, Research & Development, Quality and Supply Chain Management. Representatives from these teams work closely to drive progress on initiatives outlined in the three-year Resource Efficiency roadmap. Beyond internal collaboration, we actively engage with various stakeholders including suppliers, customers, recyclers, industry peers and research institutions to enhance material innovation, improve waste reduction strategies and expand sustainable sourcing initiatives.
At Landis+Gyr, green design is anchored on a robust framework of policies guiding our commitment to resource efficiency and circular economy. Our Green Design Manual provides requirements and practical recommendations for eco-friendly product design, focusing on the following five fundamental principles:
We use recyclable and recycled materials, thus reducing our reliance on virgin resources and their depletion, while avoiding hazardous substances and chemicals and ensuring compliance with environmental regulations. With these efforts, we strive to conserve energy, water and resources, safeguarding our environment for future generations.
By optimizing product design and manufacturing processes, we minimize material consumption without compromising the quality or performance of our products. Reducing material dimensions and selecting innovative materials (e.g., materials with higher strength-to-weight ratios) further support these goals.
We emphasize modularity and recyclability to facilitate resource reuse and eliminate usage of irrecoverable resources. Each product component is scrutinized to identify materials hindering recycling or reuse to ensure environmentally responsible end-of-life management and reduce the need for new raw materials.
We continuously refine our product design and technology to enhance energy efficiency and minimize environmental impact. With ambitious targets exceeding industry standards for energy consumption of electricity meters, we aim for a reduction of at least 10% in each new product generation. By integrating low-power technologies and designing efficient, flexible, and functional building blocks, we ensure optimal performance while minimizing energy usage.
– Demand for more frequent data readings and analytics increases a product's energy consumption.
Maximizing product longevity reduces environmental impact by extending field use. Our Green Design Manual includes design and test requirements for increasing durability and reliability, as well as recommendations for enabling repairability, upgradability and possibility of refurbishment and maintenance.
To ensure accountability and continuous improvement in our green design efforts, we employ the Eco-Portfolio metric, which assesses products across three key dimensions – product impact, eco-design and lifespan – covering 13 specific criteria. Products that meet or exceed the designated threshold are included in the Eco-Portfolio.
The share of products meeting our Eco-Portfolio criteria has steadily grown since the metric was introduced in FY 2021. In FY 2024, it increased by 5% compared to the previous year, reaching a total of 89%, driven by the continued greening of our portfolio and the phase-out of products that fall below our own environmental sustainability standards, replacing them with more environmentally friendly alternatives.
We consider environmental impacts in our transportation, and we strive to optimize our logistics to reduce emissions. This includes consolidating shipments to ensure fuller loads, as well as prioritizing lower-carbon shipping methods such as rail and sea transport where possible, which reduces our reliance on air transport. Additionally, we are closely monitoring developments in low-carbon initiatives within the transportation sector, where both road haulers and sea carriers are actively exploring the adoption of alternative fuel such as Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO), hydrogen and electric-powered solutions. In Europe, for example, the use of HVO is rapidly expanding across several countries. The timeline for widespread implementation of electric solutions and their impact on our transportation activities remains uncertain, but we see them as a promising avenue for further emission reductions. Together, these initiatives contribute to our overarching goal of cutting emissions in line with our SBTi-aligned targets.
Our approach to packaging is underpinned by the Packaging Requirements and Guidelines, which emphasize the use of environmentally friendly materials and the restriction of hazardous substances. We prioritize recycled, returnable, reusable and recyclable packaging materials to mitigate environmental impact.
Throughout the year, we have implemented various initiatives to limit packaging waste and reduce the need for new pallet purchases. For instance, we have incorporated recycled packaging materials and introduced reusable pallet systems. Through our close collaboration with suppliers, we have implemented a system where they ship goods in packages and pallets specifically designed for reuse in downstream transportation. This approach has yielded remarkable results at our Corinth (Greece) plant – our largest manufacturing site in Europe – where new pallet purchases dropped from 4,000 in FY 2022 to zero in FY 2024, achieving a 100% reduction.
Landis+Gyr's commitment to resource efficiency at the product's end of life is evidenced through the End-of-life Disposal Instructions. This document is designed to help recyclers refine their processes, facilitating maximum recovery of materials for reuse or recycling from our products at the end of their lifecycle.
Improved resource efficiency requires collaboration across the value chain. Partnering with customers and recycling firms, we implement take-back schemes that enable products to be recycled or retained within the system, maximizing their value and reducing waste.
Notably, a recent assessment conducted by a specialized recycling firm confirmed that over 98% of a typical Landis+Gyr meter can be recycled.
We adhere to the EU's WEEE Directive where applicable, in addition to complying with national legislative requirements. In regions where this directive does not apply, we take measures to ensure the reuse or recycling of our products or their components whenever feasible.
To strengthen our expertise in circularity and advance our efforts in resource efficiency, we collaborate with specialized educational institutions to deliver targeted training for key functions, including Product Management, Supply Chain Management and Quality. In FY 2023, the first selected staff underwent training on circularity principles and their practical application. Additionally, we ensure all relevant staff are thoroughly trained to understand our resource efficiency policies and guidelines, effectively implementing these principles across our operations.
To assist our customers in managing their environmental footprint, we have started to produce Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) with comprehensive details on the environmental impact of our metering products. These EPDs include in-depth information on each product's Life Cycle Analysis (LCA), such as Global Warming Potential values. Developed in compliance with ISO 14040/44 and EN 50693 guidelines, our EPDs uphold transparency and alignment with industry standards. Additionally, all Landis+Gyr products meet the requirements of the REACH regulation and RoHS directive (including those sold outside of Europe) and adhere to other regulations such as TSCA and POPs, where applicable.
We adhere to the Reduce–Reuse–Recycle ethos, which informs waste management practices across all aspects of our operations. Our offices and production sites are key areas where we actively manage waste, with the latter being its primary source. Acknowledging the detrimental impacts of waste, we implement various strategies to address this challenge, including optimizing production processes to reduce scrap and defective components, establishing waste segregation systems to enhance recycling rates and partnering with certified waste management providers to ensure the safe and responsible disposal of waste – especially hazardous materials.
In product design, we favor recycled materials and maintain service and repair processes to extend product lifespans wherever feasible, in line with our Green Design Manual. We actively reduce packaging waste by introducing multi-use pallets and packaging materials to decrease waste volume. Other measures include extending the lifecycle of valuable resources by recycling or selling waste to certified third parties, reutilizing scrap material and reintegrating leftover materials into our production processes, applying volumetrics and palletizing techniques and reusing inbound packaging for outbound shipments, whenever possible.
We set global and site-level waste management targets and ensure continuous progress monitoring using our Integrated Management System (IMS). In FY 2024, our total waste generation amounted to 3,192 tons, repre senting a reduction of 19% compared to FY 2023. This decrease was achieved in 2 out of 3 regions, with the most significant reduction in the Americas. The overall decline in waste is primarily attributed to reductions in paper, plastic and general waste volumes, mainly at key production sites such as Corinth (Greece), Izmir (Turkey) and Reynosa (Mexico). These improvements are linked to a decrease in production volumes at these sites.
We have encountered challenges in achieving our waste to landfill target, which aimed to reduce the proportion of waste sent to landfill at Group level to 1% by FY 2025. In FY 2024, 182 tons were sent to landfill (2023: 247 tons), representing 5.7% of our total waste. This improvement was driven by increased recycling efforts at sites in Kos mosdal (South Africa) and Izmir (Turkey) as well as a significant waste reduction volume in Reynosa (Mexico). However, it remains well short of our ambitious FY 2025 target of 1%.
Following internal analysis, we concluded that the orig inal target was set unrealistically low, given existing constraints, such as limited availability of precise waste data at several locations and insufficient recycling in frastructure in certain regions. Additionally, in FY 2024, our organization transitioned from a global to a regional operations model, granting regions greater autonomy and accountability. Considering these factors, we plan to revise our waste-related target in the next ESG cycle (FY 2025–2027) to establish more suitable, region-spe cific targets to drive meaningful progress.
For detailed performance, see the sections "Perfor mance Targets & KPIs" and "Performance Metrics" in this report.
Landis+Gyr is committed to eliminating hazardous sub stances from our products and processes to safeguard health and the environment. Hazardous materials are used in limited quantities for specialized industrial pro cesses that support our manufacturing operations. All chemicals used in our operations are listed in the section "Performance Metrics".
To ensure the safe handling of hazardous substances, our Quality, Environment, and Health & Safety (QEHS) teams, supported by local management, implement com prehensive procedures at each location, including prop er container labeling, maintaining up-to-date Safety Data Sheets (SDS), conducting initial chemical inventories, and providing training on chemical hazards. Employees are briefed on SDS information, ensuring they follow safety protocols when handling chemicals.
In addition to prevention, Landis+Gyr prioritizes reduc ing hazardous material use across the entire product lifecycle as well as incorporating recycling into our design process. We strictly comply with statutory provisions and local regulations on hazardous waste disposal, in cluding special treatment requirements. Collaborating exclusively with certified companies, we ensure proper hazardous waste management with recycling as the pre ferred method. Furthermore, we work with external partners to ensure compliance with key environmental regulations such as EU REACH, RoHS, US California Prop osition 65, the Stockholm Convention on POPs and TSCA, reinforcing our commitment to sustainability and safety. In FY 2024, our actions led to a reduction of hazardous waste of 8% compared to FY 2023.
In FY 2024, our commitment to resource efficiency was exemplified by the launch of a new generation of industrial meters, the E650 S3, which achieved substantial reductions in material usage and energy self-consumption compared to its predecessor, the E650 S2. Overall, material use was reduced by 41% (see figure on the right) and self-consumption by 49%.
A key improvement was the development of a single variant for the market, unlike previous generations with multiple variants sharing mechanical parts and having Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) with different Bills of Materials (BoMs). By focusing on a single variant, we significantly reduced material usage, resulting in a much more compact design and lower material cost. In addition, the power consumption was substantially lowered with the single variant design, as the power supply no longer needed to accommodate margins for different variants. Moreover, a higher degree of integration of electromechanical parts onto the PCB contributed to these reductions, while also reducing assembly efforts and lowering overall production costs.
This achievement highlights our ability to optimize product development, minimize environmental impacts and drive sustainability through smart engineering – setting a strong precedent for future innovations.

We protect the climate and the environment, and mitigate nega tive impacts across our operations, value chain and products. We use resources efficiently and respon sibly.

"Energy Efficiency and Climate Protection" encompasses the use of energy across Landis+Gyr's operations, products and supply chain, along with the resulting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Overall, the topic is concerned with the positive and negative impact of Landis+Gyr's business activities and products on climate change, as well as the implications of climate change on the business itself.
Our operations and products consume energy, leading to both direct and indirect GHG emissions that contribute to climate change. At the same time, climate-related issues also present financial risks and opportunities, such as disruptions in our operations and supply chain and higher demand for our energy efficiency solutions (for more details, see "TCFD Report"). Nevertheless, our products also play a crucial role in reducing carbon emissions by enabling more efficient energy management. This underscores the importance of our mission to enhance energy efficiency and climate protection through our business activities and product offerings.
Landis+Gyr acknowledges the critical importance of addressing climate change, recognizing that urgent action is necessary to mitigate its devastating impacts. We also acknowledge our contribution to this problem, as our operations and products generate greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, we are committed to being part of the solution. Demonstrating our firm dedication to this issue, we joined the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) in 2022 and achieved validation for our near-term and net-zero targets in July 2023. Furthermore, we have pledged to achieve carbon neutrality in Scopes 1and 2 by 2030.
However, our determination to make a difference does not stop there. We are committed to enabling decarbonization by providing innovative products and solu-

2 These targets were defined in FY 2022.
Landis+Gyr's ambition to minimize the impact of our operations and to attain carbon neutrality is underpinned by the ESG Directive, which outlines our commitment to energy efficiency and climate action within our operations, as well as the Supplier Code of Conduct, which – together with our Green Procurement Requirements – extends this ambition throughout our supply chain and outlines our expectations for suppliers to provide GHG emissions information. In addition, most Landis+Gyr sites are certified in accordance with ISO 14001 (Environmental Management).
Recognizing the magnitude of climate change and its challenges, Landis+Gyr adopts a collaborative approach, engaging both internal and external stakeholders to drive decarbonization and sustainability. Internally, cross-functional teams from ESG, Supply Chain, Operations, Procurement, R&D, and Product Management work together to identify challenges, set ambitious targets, and implement energy efficiency and sustainability measures. For example, the ESG function defines the overarching strategy, establishes and monitors targets, and ensures reporting, while local Operations teams manage energy consumption, green electricity usage, and energy efficiency initiatives. The R&D and Product Management teams focus on reducing the environmental footprint of our products by designing solutions that minimize climate impact. Externally, Landis+Gyr collaborates with supply chain partners to reduce carbon emissions and enhance the environmental performance of its products and solutions. This collective effort ensures a comprehensive and actionable approach to tackling climate change, in alignment with the Company's sustainability goals.
In July 2023, Landis+Gyr's Science-Based Targets received validation from the SBTi. These approved targets align with the highest ambition of the Paris Climate Agreement, aiming to limit global warming to 1.5°C. The defined targets are:
Scope 3
– Reduce absolute Scope 1, 2 & 3 emissions by 90% by FY 2050 from an FY 2021 base year.
These targets form the foundation of our carbon reduction roadmap through 2030. Central to this roadmap is the identification and evaluation of measures to reduce GHG emissions across our entire value chain. Each measure is rigorously assessed by topic owners and specialists to ensure its long-term feasibility and effectiveness. To support this effort, we have enhanced our carbon accounting capabilities by upgrading our GHG data capturing tool to include all relevant Scope 3 categories, while actively working to improve data quality, ensure consistency and strengthen the methodological rigor of our calculations.

1 Landis+Gyr's Science-Based Targets (SBT) require us to transition to renewable electricity by 2030. However, encouraged by our progress in this area, we have committed to achieving this target by FY 2025, i.e., five years ahead of our SBT commitment. 2 Compared to baseline FY 2021.
Landis+Gyr has been diligently monitoring and reporting its Scope 1 and 2 emissions since 2007. Our analysis indicates that within Scope 1, fugitive emissions from air conditioning systems and GHG emissions from our vehicle fleet are the most relevant contributors. Meanwhile, in Scope 2, the primary driver of emissions is the electricity we procure for our operations. Addressing these areas is a priority and will entail transitioning to greener alternatives for our Company vehicles, enhancing the energy efficiency of our facilities, optimizing the efficiency of our HVAC equipment and continuously increasing the use of renewable electricity.
In FY 2024, we initiated a global assessment of our Company vehicle fleet to evaluate fleet size, vehicle types, ownership status and lease expiration dates. This analysis will inform our strategy for a phased transition to electric (EV) and hybrid vehicles over the coming years. As an example, see our success story "Reducing Emissions Through Fleet Modernization".
Saving energy starts with the right behavior. For this reason, we train employees on sustainable workplace practices, promoting habits such as switching off unused electronics and optimizing heating, cooling and lighting usage in work areas.
Additionally, we implement energy-saving measures across offices and manufacturing sites, including the installation of LED lighting, motion and intensity sensors, as well as optimization of our energy-consuming machinery and equipment. Regular HVAC system upkeep helps improve efficiency and prevent fugitive emissions. We also continuously review production processes to enhance energy management and reduce energy consumption.
Demonstrating our commitment to energy efficiency, two of our manufacturing sites (Corinth in Greece and Zhuhai in China), achieved ISO 50001 Energy Management certification in FY 2024. We are considering expanding this certification to cover additional locations.
We remain on track to achieve our target of 100% renewable electricity at Group level by FY 2025, standing at 96% in FY 2024. Wherever possible, we procure green energy directly from local utilities. In locations where green tariffs are unavailable, we purchase Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs), Guarantees of Origin (GOs) or similar instruments to green our electricity consumption. Landis+Gyr does not use any carbon offsets.
In FY 2024, our total energy usage across all sites amounted to 124,099,049 MJ, marking a 1% decrease compared to the previous year. Although our natural gas consumption rose by 17%, we achieved reductions in steam consumption (–7%) and diesel and gasoline usage (–12%). This, paired with our increased use of renewable electricity, enabled us to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 43% compared to FY 2023. Against our FY 2021 base year, this represents a 67% reduction – an important milestone in our decarbonization journey. With this achievement, we have met and exceeded our 2030 Science-Based Target of reducing combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 42%, outperforming it by 25%.
For more detailed KPIs refer to the "Performance Metrics" section of this report.

Addressing Scope 3 emissions is critical to achieving our decarbonization targets. Our analysis of FY 2023 emissions identified several relevant indirect emission categories, with the largest contributions coming from purchased goods and services (Category 1) and use of sold products (Category 11). Together, these two categories account for 97% of our total Scope 3 emissions.

Given the significance of Categories 1 and 11, we have prioritized efforts to reduce emissions from both the sourcing of raw materials – particularly Printed Circuit Board Assemblies (PCBAs) and plastics – and the electricity consumption of our products during their use phase. To address emissions linked to PCBAs, we are working to map key components and suppliers, and to engage them in targeted emission reduction initiatives.
Product efficiency remains another key pillar of our Scope 3 strategy. We aim to reduce the energy self-consumption of our products by at least 10% with every new generation of comparable functionality. This guidance has been embedded in our company's "Green Design Manual", which specifies best practice approaches to design products with a lower environmental footprint (see the section "Resource Efficiency"). This design manual applies to all Landis+Gyr products globally. To lower the self-consumption of our products, we are exploring several possibilities in our designs. For example:
In FY 2024, we achieved a 15% absolute reduction in Scope 3 emissions compared to FY 2023. The largest reductions were seen in:
Overall, this decrease was largely driven by a lower volume of products shipped during the reporting period compared to FY 2023. Furthermore, in FY 2024, we revised the emission factor applied to the calculation of emissions from Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) under Scope 3, Category 1 (Purchased goods and services). The revised factor better reflects the characteristics of the PCBs most commonly used in our meters. Since the new factor is approximately 50% lower than the one used in FY 2023 and PCBs account for roughly 50% of emissions in the purchased goods and services category, this change had a significant impact on the reported reduction of Category 1.
However, emissions increased in some categories, including Category 2 (Capital goods) and Category 7 (Employee commuting and teleworking). Despite these increases, our Scope 3 emissions continue to be dominated by Categories 1 and 11, both of which decreased during the reporting year, contributing to the overall Scope 3 emission reduction.
When compared to our FY 2021 baseline, absolute Scope 3 emissions in FY 2024 remained relatively stable, showing a modest 4% increase. However, on a normalized basis (emissions per USD 100 of net revenue), Scope 3 emissions decreased by 3% compared to FY 2023, and 12% compared to FY 2021, indicating steady improvement in emission intensity over time.

Landis+Gyr is at the forefront of delivering innovative products and solutions that significantly enhance energy management and reduce carbon emissions. Our range of smart electricity metering solutions empowers utili ties and consumers to have greater awareness and control over their energy usage. This not only leads to financial savings but also promotes the efficient use of energy resources and lowers emissions.
Key to understanding the positive impact of our prod ucts is the quantification of CO 2 savings enabled by our smart meter devices. To track this, we have established the KPI "GHG emission savings enabled through our installed base of smart meter devices".
To ensure the robust measurement of this KPI, in 2018 we developed a model to calculate the GHG emission savings enabled by our installed base of smart electric ity meters. In 2022, we collaborated with The Carbon Trust to enhance this model, incorporating the latest scientific findings and emission factors. The revised model now also accounts for CO 2 savings from our smart gas metering portfolio. Landis+Gyr relies on this model to report the GHG emission savings facilitated by our products and solutions. For more details on the model and its methodology, refer to the white paper published on this subject.
Based on this model, in FY 2024, Landis+Gyr's smart products enabled the saving of 9 million tons of CO .
3 Avoided emissions refers to reductions that occur outside a product's lifecycle or value chain but result from its use. Unlike Scopes 1, 2 and 3, the GHG Protocol does not yet have a dedicated standard for Scope 4 emissions. However, it acknowledges their significance and encourages companies to estimate and disclose them using best practices, as exem plified by Landis+Gyr.
Our Seattle, US location has implemented a hybrid ve hicle program, replacing gasoline and diesel vehicles with more efficient hybrid models. In FY 2023, gasoline usage was 33,242 gallons, which decreased to 26,881 gallons in FY 2024 – a reduction of 6,361 gallons, or 19%. Additionally, we have introduced Partial Zero Emission Vehicles (PZEVs), which are among the cleanest gasolinepowered vehicles available in the US market, emitting up to 90% less smog- and acid rain-producing pollutants.
As part of our ongoing sustainability efforts, we are downsizing our fleet's full-sized pickup trucks as they are replaced. This transition is made possible by our long-term commitment to reducing the size and improv ing the reliability of network equipment products. These advancements decrease the need for field maintenance visits and reduce the space required for replacement devices and tools. Fewer field maintenance visits further contribute to lower fuel consumption.

In FY 2024, our Corinth facility in Greece achieved ISO 50001 Energy Management certification, a testament to our commitment to energy management and sustain ability.

Key actions undertaken to achieve this certification included conducting a compre hensive energy review to establish a baseline and analyze energy consumption, developing an Energy Management System (EnMS) with clear policies and ob jectives and implementing action plans to meet our energy efficiency goals. Additionally, we engaged in extensive employee training and secured leadership commitment to drive these initiatives forward.
Achieving ISO 50001 certification is a significant mile stone for our Corinth location. This accomplishment not only enhances our operational efficiency but also aligns with our broader sustainability goals. By successfully passing the external audit conducted by an accredited certification body, we have demonstrated our proactive approach to managing energy resources responsibly and sustainably. We remain committed to fostering a culture of continuous improvement and innovation, ensuring that our energy management practices contribute positively to both our business and the environment.

Although our business activities are not water-intensive, our overall water usage still contributes to diminished water availability in the locations where we operate. Therefore, we prioritize disclosing information on water usage and management to ensure transparency regarding our impacts on stakeholders, including local communities and ecosystems.
Recognizing the escalating concern of water scarcity, our commitment goes beyond mere efficient usage; it encompasses stewardship and proactive management. We ensure that all Landis+Gyr's sites adhere to local regulations regarding water use and discharge.
Furthermore, our dedication to responsible water management is reflected in the development of our own products. Our smart water meters detect leaks, preventing water loss and network damage while also supporting predictive maintenance of water infrastructure.
To underpin our commitment to water conservation, we set a target for our water withdrawal: By 2025 we want to reduce the water withdrawal per employee to 12 m3, which represents a reduction of 11% compared to FY 2021.
Our offices and manufacturing plants use water conscientiously for various daily operations, from culinary preparations in our canteens to essential cooling processes in production. At all sites, we not only consume water responsibly but also implement site-specific water reuse/recycle practices wherever feasible. Further, while increasing water withdrawal from wells or collected rainwater, we increase drainage of treated used water to public waters and groundwater. Thereby, we contribute to closing the local water cycle.
In locations such as Noida (India), we treat and repurpose rain and wastewater for uses such as exterior cleaning. At our Reynosa site, the byproduct water from air conditioning is not wasted but used for plant watering. While most sites discharge water through public sewage systems, some have onsite water treatment facilities. Storage is not a significant component of our water management, except for rainwater tanks at some sites. Additionally, certain sites, like Pequot Lakes and Corinth, rely on well water, which reduces our dependence on tap water. Wells are maintained and water quality tests are regularly conducted. The water from the wells is used according to the water quality of the respective well (e.g., its use is limited to irrigation/ cleaning).
In regions experiencing increasing water scarcity, potential threats to business emerge. The risks include exposure to water shortages, lower water quality, and water price volatility. Landis+Gyr sites in Corinth (Greece), Melbourne/Laverton (Australia), Nuremberg (Germany), Reynosa (Mexico), Kosmosdal (South Africa) and Izmir (Turkey) operate in regions identified as water-stressed according to the World Resource Institute's (WRI) Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas. In these areas, in particular, heightened awareness and a dedicated commitment to water conservation guide Landis+Gyr's operations.
In FY 2024, the water withdrawal per employee amounted to 12.3 m3 per employee, representing an increase of 16% compared to the previous year. This can be explained by the fact that water consumption rose slightly, while the number of employees decreased (see the "Performance Metrics" section of this report for more detailed KPIs). Yet, due to our increase in reusing and recycling water and other efficiency measures, we remain committed to achieving our 2025 target for water withdrawal.
Although biodiversity is not a material topic to Landis+Gyr, we are committed to biodiversity conservation and ecosystem protection. Our aim is to avoid any adverse impacts on the natural environment, particularly on critical habitats and protected areas, as well as on threatened species, as defined in the "International Union for Conservation of Nature" (IUCN) Red List.
In addition to minimizing negative impacts, we take pride in the positive contributions of certain Landis+Gyr products and solutions to biodiversity. For instance, our water leakage detection solutions play a vital role in water-stressed areas by reducing water wastage and preserving natural water resources. By efficiently managing water usage, these solutions help sustain habitats where diverse plants and animal species can thrive. Similarly, our streetlight control solutions help reduce unnecessary light pollution, which is essential for preserving the natural behavior and habitats of various species. This fosters biodiversity and improves the overall vitality of ecosystems.
Landis+Gyr integrates biodiversity considerations into our Code of Business Ethics and Conduct and our Supplier Code of Conduct, reinforcing our commitment to environmental integrity across both our operations and supply chain. Utilizing tools such as the Exploring Natural Capital Opportunities, Risks and Exposure (ENCORE) by the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP)- World Conservation Monitoring Center (WCMC), and the Biodiversity Risk Filter by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), we have begun to assess biodiversity impacts and dependencies at our manufacturing sites and monitor relevant indicators.
Our production sites are predominantly located in industrialized areas, a deliberate choice aimed at minimizing our impacts on regions that hold great biodiversity and are susceptible to any environmental changes. According to our assessment using the WWF's "Biodiversity Risk Filter", none of our facilities are in areas classified as facing high or very high risk for biodiversity pressures (i.e., factors that directly influence biodiversity and ecosystem processes, where significant declines are likely in the future). However, some sites, including those in Reynosa (Mexico), Curitiba (Brazil), Montluçon (France), Izmir (Turkey), and Zhuhai (China), face moderate risks, primarily due to pollution from nutrient runoff, pesticide use, plastic waste and air emissions.
As part of our ESG initiatives for the next cycle, we plan to conduct more detailed assessments at our most exposed sites to gain a deeper understanding of local pollution challenges, including their sources, intensity, and impact on surrounding ecosystems. A key aspect of this analysis will be evaluating how our own operations contribute to these environmental pressures – whether through emissions, waste discharge or resource consumption – so we can identify and mitigate our direct impact. Based on these findings, we will design and implement mitigation strategies to reduce pollution and its effects on local habitats. These efforts may include optimizing waste management practices, enhancing emissions control, improving water treatment systems, and collaborating with local stakeholders to support ecosystem restoration.
Looking ahead, we will also assess the potential benefits of aligning our biodiversity impact disclosures with the Task Force on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) framework to enhance transparency.
Through a proactive, science-based approach, we aim to minimize our ecological footprint, strengthen environmental stewardship, and contribute to biodiversity conservation in the areas where we operate.
We foster employee engagement, prioritize employee health and safety, and uphold fair labor practices. As engaged community partners, we actively support local development.

"Employee Engagement" at Landis+Gyr refers to the quality of the relationship between the Company and our employees. The enthusiasm and dedication of our employees are shaped by the depth of their mental and emotional connections to their work, teams and the organization. It encompasses the Company's policies and measures to foster a positive work environment.
At Landis+Gyr, we actively cultivate an engaged workforce, enhancing employees' well-being while driving our business's success through improved productivity and quality of work. Engaged employees are more committed, collaborate effectively, deliver stronger customer support and experience better overall health. High levels of engagement also help prevent and mitigate potential challenges, such as low morale, reduced productivity, increased regrettable turnover, higher onboarding costs and customer dissatisfaction. This commitment not only fosters personal well-being and business prosperity but also creates positive ripple effects across society.
We recognize the transformative power of employee engagement as a cornerstone of sustainable organizational success and the delivery of high-quality products and solutions. We are dedicated to fostering a culture where employees feel valued, respected, motivated and fully engaged. This commitment is realized through industry-leading people practices and frameworks implemented across our local, regional and global operations.

Landis+Gyr's ambition is to be recognized as a valued employer in our industry. We perceive employee engagement as a shared responsibility, encompassing all levels of the organization. While our Human Resources department plays a vital role in designing and driving initiatives, senior leadership sets the tone for a positive culture, managers influence team engagement directly and individual employees contribute through active participation and commitment.
Our approach is guided by foundational policies, including the Code of Business Ethics & Conduct, which promotes respect and equal opportunity. Additionally, our talent acquisition, talent management and learning policies and processes support employee engagement by fostering a sense of purpose, growth and fulfillment across our workforce.
At Landis+Gyr, we are committed to fostering a collaborative and positive workplace culture where employees feel valued, respected, and empowered to contribute to their fullest potential. This commitment is underpinned by comprehensive global, regional and local policies that ensure our efforts are consistent, inclusive, and aligned across the organization.
The Code of Business Ethics & Conduct plays a pivotal role in shaping our workplace culture. Particularly the chapters Respect One Another and Equal Employment Opportunity emphasize our dedication to fostering an environment of mutual respect while ensuring equal opportunities for all employees. Complementing this, our Environmental, Social and Governance Directive supports employee engagement by prioritizing wellbeing, safety and ethical treatment through policies that include fair compensation practices and adherence to global working standards.
To bring these principles to life, we host regular initiatives designed to educate, inform, listen to and engage employees across all levels of the organization. In FY 2024, these initiatives included monthly global town hall meetings led by our CEO and regional business leaders providing a platform for two-way communication, where every employee can be heard. In addition, local and regional town halls and other employee-focused events – such as informal coffee-chats with executives – foster a culture of open dialog and connection, enabling leadership to listen directly to employee needs and ideas.
Further enriching our positive workplace culture, we celebrate and recognize our employees' contributions through a variety of activities, including:
– Sporting awards, Employee of the Month/Year awards, and Value Excellence awards celebrating outstanding achievements across various fields.
Through these combined efforts, we continue to build an engaged, motivated and high-performing workforce that drives our long-term success.
Furthermore, we conduct employee surveys to assess our employees' satisfaction, commitment and engagement. The last employee survey was conducted in 2021, the next one being planned in 2025.
Attracting the right talent is vital to sustaining our business success and fostering a culture of innovation and collaboration. Our "Global Talent Acquisition Guideline" forms the cornerstone of our recruitment strategy, providing a structured, transparent and consistent approach for identifying, selecting and hiring skilled individuals who align with our organizational needs. To support a smooth transition, all new employees participate in a comprehensive onboarding program that introduces them to Landis+Gyr's history, culture, values and business operations.
Key initiatives implemented in FY 2024 to further strengthen our talent acquisition efforts include:

Our Human Resources function, in collaboration with regional and group-level leaders, is responsible for developing and implementing policies and initiatives that promote fair labor practices across the organization.
Central to our approach is the Code of Business Ethics and Conduct, which underscores our commitment to operating under the highest ethical standards. The Code ensures that all employees are treated with fairness and respect. It aligns with local legal requirements and global standards, including the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Labour Organization's Declaration on the Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, while strictly prohibiting any form of discrimination in all aspects of employment.
We strive to create a work environment where all employees are treated fairly, empowered to thrive and inspired to contribute to our shared success. Central to this commitment are the principles of respect, equal opportunity and non-discrimination, embedded in our Code of Conduct and reflected in policies governing key Human Resource processes – from recruitment to talent management.
We value and respect the diverse backgrounds, skills and expertise of our employees. We actively encourage a culture that celebrates this uniqueness, expecting everyone to treat colleagues with respect and integrity. Non-discrimination is a priority in all aspects of employment, including recruitment, compensation, promotions, rewards and access to training. This applies to all individuals, regardless of race, gender, age, sexual orientation, ethnicity, disability, or other personal characteristics. We are committed to ensuring equal employment opportunities for all.
In FY 2024, Landis+Gyr identified 8 cases of discrimination reported through the Speak-Up channel. Each case was investigated to establish all salient facts. Corrective measures were taken to address the issues, including, in substantiated cases, sanctions up to and including dismissal.
Landis+Gyr shares the responsibility of attracting and retaining capable and aspiring individuals, including those from traditionally underrepresented groups. By taking proactive steps in this respect, we enhance the Company's cultural richness, vitality and reputation. Some examples of key initiatives conducted in FY 2024 include:
– Ongoing operation of employee affinity groups in the US, Mexico and Brazil, with monthly reviews of activities and events
Addressing the underrepresentation of women in our industry is a critical issue and we are actively working to increase female representation at all levels of the organization. Our goal is to achieve 20% female representation in senior roles and 27% in white-collar/office worker positions by FY 2025.
In FY 2024, the share of female employees in senior roles reached 15.4%, representing a 2% decrease compared to FY 2023. This decline is primarily attributed to the role re-leveling exercise conducted during the FY 2024 salary review process. The percentage of female employees in white-collar/office worker positions stands at 25.6%. Unfortunately, these figures have declined or remained stagnant over the past year due to factors such as hiring patterns, retention challenges, and pipeline issues. We are closely examining these challenges and will implement corrective actions in FY 2025. Meanwhile, female representation on our Board of Directors remained stable at 37.5% in FY 2024. For detailed data, refer to the sections "Performance Targets & KPIs" and "Performance Metrics" in this report.
In several countries, we regularly analyze and report on gender pay equity to ensure fair compensation practices. Our job level and pay grade structures have been designed to promote balanced and equitable compensation, ensuring fairness for all employees.
(GRI 2-30)
Landis+Gyr is committed to upholding fair and ethical working conditions in all aspects of employment. We com ply with applicable regulations and often exceed them, offering our employees attractive working conditions.
For example, we ensure fair compensation, compliance with minimum wage laws and transparency in job ad vertisements. Regular benchmarking against industry and geographical standards guarantees equitable pay. We also protect workers' rights to freely associate, en gage in collective bargaining and participate in peaceful assembly, ensuring these activities occur without fear of discrimination, reprisal or intimidation. Currently, 37% of our employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements. For those not covered, Landis+Gyr main tains direct employer-employee relationships, guided by applicable laws, regulations and standardized policies regarding terms and conditions of employment. Col laboration between management, human resources teams, and union officials fosters a rewarding and pro ductive environment for all employees.
Recognizing the importance of work-life balance, we pro vide flexible working solutions to meet the evolving needs of our workforce. These include part-time employment, hybrid work schedules, and our Connected Work Program, which facilitates remote work arrangements. These op tions empower employees to manage their professional commitments in a way that suits their individual circum stances, enhancing both productivity and job satisfaction.
We also tailor our parental leave policies to align with cul tural norms and legal requirements in every country where we operate, ensuring robust support for employees with family responsibilities. Initiatives such as Bring Your Child to Work days and wellness programs further contribute to a family-friendly environment, reinforcing our dedica tion to the well-being of employees and their families.
By providing flexible working arrangements, and sup porting family life, Landis+Gyr continues to build a work place where employees feel valued, respected, and empowered to thrive.
At Landis+Gyr, we prioritize comprehensive training for management and employees to uphold the principles outlined in our Code of Business Ethics and Conduct. This Code serves as the cornerstone of a fair and ethical workplace, explicitly prohibiting practices such as child labor, modern slavery, threats of violence, and harass ment. In FY 2024, Landis+Gyr hosted a virtual global learning session to introduce the topic of human rights and our ongoing initiatives to an audience of nearly 1,400 employees. Through robust training initiatives, we foster a thorough understanding and consistent ap plication of these essential principles throughout the organization.
We are committed to upholding fair labor practices not only within our operations but also across our entire value chain. By extending our principles to our suppliers and business partners, we reinforce our dedication to fairness, dignity, and respect for workers worldwide. For further details, refer to the "Strategic Responsible Sourcing" section.
In celebration of International Women's Day, Landis+Gyr hosted an event for women in engineering, offering inspiration and support to women in technology. Approximately 50 employees attended this event, creating a space for learning, networking and empowerment, advancing gender equality and promoting women's growth in the workplace.


On International Women's Day, we engaged employees across APAC to raise awareness of the achievements of women in all areas of life. Communication was shared globally to thank female employees for their hard work and contributions. The initiative emphasized our appreciation and respect for women's continued contributions to our success.

Our Taste of Harmony initiative celebrated diversity, with employees participating in site lunches and morning tea events. Employees brought dishes from their cultural backgrounds, creating an engaging environment where different cultures were shared and appreciated. This event strengthened team spirit, fostered a sense of belonging and highlighted the importance of cultural diversity within our organization.

"Occupational Health and Safety" (OH&S) encompasses the measures implemented to safeguard the physical and mental health, safety and well-being of employees and other relevant stakeholders, including contractors and subcontractors. It involves identifying, assessing and managing risks to prevent accidents, injuries and illnesses related to work activities.
Prioritizing safety and well-being in the workplace is essential to Landis+Gyr's success. A robust approach to managing occupational health and safety significantly reduces the risk of work-related injuries and illnesses, ensuring the well-being of employees while enhancing operational efficiency and minimizing absenteeism. Incidents affecting worker health and safety, on the other hand, can have serious consequences, resulting in severe injuries or, in the worst cases, fatalities. These outcomes can undermine employee morale, erode trust among stakeholders and lead to reputational damage and financial losses for the Company. Ensuring a safe work environment is therefore not only a moral imperative, but also a strategic priority, safeguarding the trust of customers, investors and the broader community.
At Landis+Gyr, we uphold the fundamental human right to a healthy and safe workplace. Our commitment extends beyond regulatory compliance, reflecting our responsibility to employees, contractors, visitors and partners throughout our value chain. Through our OH&S management system, we prioritize prevention and foster a culture of awareness to ensure safety and well-being. Our vision is to eliminate work-related injuries and illnesses by cultivating a safety culture where everyone takes shared responsibility for health and safety.
| Main KPIs | FY 2022 | FY 2023 | FY 2024 | Target FY 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lost Time Incident Frequency Rate | 1.42 | 1.14 | 0.85 | 0.60 |
Landis+Gyr's business activities might expose employees to some safety-related risks in several categories. These include physical hazards such as electrical currents, slippery surfaces, moving machinery, hot materials and falls from height. Chemical risks involve exposure to fumes, vapors and harmful substances, while biological risks stem from contact with harmful materials. Ergonomic risks arise from factors such as repetitive strain, awkward postures, and poorly designed workspaces. Psychological risks include stress, irregular working patterns and isolated working conditions.
At Landis+Gyr, our ambition is to nourish a global safety culture and to prevent and mitigate any health-related risks. OH&S is integrated into our Quality organization, with representatives located in key regions conducting hazard identification and risk assessments through activities such as Gemba walks and facility safety audits. This structure emphasizes open communication, enabling employees to report workplace hazards through multiple channels, fostering a collaborative and proactive approach to safety.
Our commitment to OH&S is guided by an integrated management framework built upon ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems certification. This certification provides a systematic approach to identifying, assessing, and mitigating occupational health and safety risks. It ensures standardized OH&S processes and procedures are consistently applied across all Landis+Gyr sites. Our multi-site ISO 45001 certification covers 80% of our sites. (GRI 403-1)
Key policies further strengthen our OH&S efforts. The Code of Business Ethics and Conduct reinforces the importance of workplace safety, requiring employees to avoid unsafe conditions and encouraging near-miss reporting. The Global Occupational Health & Safety Directive establishes standardized OH&S roles and responsibilities and defines reporting processes, ensuring a cohesive and effective approach to safety management, regulatory compliance, and continuous improvement.
Together, these frameworks not only ensure compliance with national and international standards but also actively engage employees in maintaining a safe workplace. Through robust processes for identifying, assessing, reporting and investigating potential hazards, we continue to foster a proactive safety culture across all levels of the organization.
(GRI 403-2, 403-4, 403-7)
Management teams at each Landis+Gyr location implement and maintain our OH&S hazard identification process, fostering a no-blame culture focused on continual improvement. This process encourages proactive involvement from all employees in identifying hazards, conducting risk assessments and developing safety procedures. For example, employees perform periodic ergonomic assessments for office, production and other types of work, and participate in safety training, workplace inspections and hazard reporting.
Our OH&S hazard identification process considers a wide range of factors, including work organization, social dynamics (workload, hours, culture, etc.), infrastructure, equipment, human factors and workplace conditions, as well as past incidents and potential emergencies. It also accounts for the impact of Landis+Gyr's activities on employees, contractors, visitors and those in the vicinity, including situations both within and beyond the Company's direct control. Identified risk and opportunities are meticulously documented in a register, enabling the implementation of effective controls and mitigation measures.
OH&S-related risks and opportunities are periodically assessed. The information maintained for each assessment includes a description of the risk or opportunity, an assessment of current risk levels and an overview of existing controls. Where further mitigation is necessary, additional control measures are defined, implemented and verified. A final residual risk assessment ensures that the measures effectively reduce the associated risks.
Annual Internal Management System (IMS) Management Reviews and Internal IMS Audits provide further opportunities to refine hazard mitigation strategies. An overall IMS Management Review is undertaken at the executive level annually. Emergency response plans are established across all sites to ensure preparedness for unexpected incidents. Moreover, through regular postimplementation assessments as well as management reviews and audits, we ensure the continued effectiveness of our OH&S practices, reaffirming our commitment to a safe and healthy workplace for all employees.
We have established formal joint management-worker health and safety committees at all 41 sites covered by our ISO 45001 certification. These committees are responsible for overseeing the implementation and evaluation of health and safety policies, conducting risk assessments and ensuring compliance with relevant regulations. They meet regularly to discuss safety issues, review incidents and propose improvements. The committees have authority to recommend and implement safety measures and policies. Workers are represented in these committees to ensure their concerns and suggestions are addressed.
Our OH&S system ensures effective reporting and investigation of accidents, incidents, and near misses. All employees – whether permanent, contracted, or support staff – are encouraged to report work-related hazards or concerns through reporting forms available on the Company's intranet. Furthermore, emergency contact numbers are prominently displayed at all sites.
In the event of an occupational injury or illness, a thorough investigation is conducted to determine the root cause. Corrective actions are promptly implemented to prevent recurrence, ensuring the continued safety and well-being of our workforce globally.
To monitor and address workplace reported incidents effectively, they are categorized into:
During the current reporting period, there were no fatalities resulting from work-related injuries. For more details, refer to the section "Performance Metrics" in this report.
Our performance is evaluated using a series of metrics, including the Lost Time Incident Frequency Rate (LTIFR), which tracks the frequency of lost time incidents in relation to hours of work over a 12-month period. In FY 2024, we recorded an LTIFR of 0.85 compared to 1.14 in FY 2023. The improvement in LTIFR was largely driven by the implementation of the Global IMS at our Izmir (Turkey) location, with a focus on reducing injuries through enhanced risk assessments, proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and improved incident reporting.
The global IMS Awareness Training at Landis+Gyr provides all white-collar employees with a comprehensive understanding of OH&S topics. This training covers essential areas such as hazard identification and reporting, emphasizing the importance of avoiding unsafe practices while assuring employees that reporting hazards will not result in reprisals. Additionally, all employees, including blue-collar workers, participate in locationspecific OH&S training designed to enhance preparedness and mitigate risks effectively.
To ensure workers are competent in performing their job duties safely, Landis+Gyr locations assess training needs upon hire and whenever job requirements change. Appropriate OH&S training is then assigned to address job-specific safety hazards, ensuring continuous skill development and risk awareness.
Globally, annual OH&S targets are established to support continuous improvement toward mid- and longterm objectives. Both leading and lagging performance indicators are used to track progress, including metrics such as Preventive Risk Identification Reports (PRIRs), Near-Miss Reports, the Preventive Index (PI), Gemba walks performed by top management, and Supplier OH&S audits conducted. By regularly evaluating these metrics, we identify opportunities to enhance safety performance and implement additional measures across our sites.
Landis+Gyr prioritizes employee well-being and mental health through a range of initiatives. Various locations offer activities and guidance on topics such as ergonomics, nutrition, stress management, financial counseling, mindfulness and age-specific support. In South Africa, employees have access to professional telephone and face-to-face counseling from registered psychologists, social workers and counselors for both personal and work-related concerns. In the UK, employees benefit from online and telephone mental health resources, as well as training programs that equip team members to serve as mental health first aiders. These initiatives foster a supportive workplace culture, promoting resilience and overall well-being.

"Community Engagement" refers to Landis+Gyr's efforts to build meaningful connections with the local communities surrounding our operations and markets and to manage the impacts our activities have on them. This includes collaborating with local groups and associations to address key issues that influence the well-being of these communities.
We acknowledge the significant impact our operations have on local communities, particularly in the 26 countries where we operate and employ over 6,300 people. Our presence contributes to local socioeconomic development by creating employment opportunities, fostering skill development, supporting local procurement, and generating tax revenue. Beyond economic contributions, we actively engage in community support initiatives, such as employee volunteering and fundraising, to enhance community well-being and resilience.
At Landis+Gyr, we deeply value the collaborative relationship between our business and the local communities. This commitment drives us to proactively mitigate potential negative impacts, amplify positive contributions, and actively support sustainable community development. We recognize that our success is closely connected to the well-being and prosperity of the communities around us, and we are dedicated to fostering this interdependent relationship through meaningful actions and initiatives.
Community engagement is primarily managed at the local level, allowing for tailored approaches that address the unique needs of each community. Local teams collaborate with the global ESG team to ensure alignment, coordination and the effective implementation of initiatives. This structure balances global oversight with local execution, ensuring consistency and relevance in all our efforts.
Guiding these activities is Landis+Gyr's Community Engagement Directive, which defines the scope, focus areas, and roles and responsibilities of our initiatives. Each activity is designed to address specific local needs, reflecting our deep commitment to fostering sustainable and resilient environments. Oversight of the three-year Community Engagement roadmap is entrusted to the ESG Steering Committee, which ensures alignment with the Company's broader ESG strategy and priorities set by the Executive Management Team and the Board of Directors.
We foster trust and positive relationships with local communities through a range of tools and channels that facilitate effective engagement with local stakeholders. These include social and environmental impact assessments, stakeholder engagement plans, participation in local community consultation committees, the establishment of worker representation bodies and the implementation of local community grievance processes. Some locations have site-specific grievance mechanisms tailored for local communities, while others use the Company's broader grievance process. By leveraging these mechanisms, we aim to maintain open communication and transparency in our operations.
Our long-standing tradition of supporting the well-being and resilience of local communities is exemplified by our volunteering and fundraising efforts. These initiatives are collaborative, involving both internal stakeholders and external partners such as local associations and NGOs. While the Community Engagement FY 2022–FY 2024 roadmap was partially paused following a decision by the ESG Steering Committee to reassess its ambition level for alignment with business priorities, local-level community engagement activities continued uninterrupted throughout FY 2024. The initiatives undertaken during this period demonstrate our unwavering commitment to nurturing positive relationships and delivering meaningful impacts where we operate.
In various locations such as Curitiba (Brazil), Prague (Czech Republic), Nuremberg (Germany), Corinth (Greece), Noida (India), Reynosa (Mexico), Kosmosdal (South Africa), Manchester (UK) and various sites across the US, Landis+Gyr has a continuous history of contributing to local development through donations and volunteering initiatives. At many sites, support is provided on a regular or ad hoc basis for specific activities that directly benefit the local community.
Effective stakeholder engagement is integral to the suc cess of Landis+Gyr's community engagement efforts, both at the Group and local levels. At the Group level, stakeholder engagement is a key component of our materiality assessment, which involves input from rel evant stakeholders across all regions. At the local level, stakeholder engagement focuses on identifying and implementing actions and setting community engage ment targets in collaboration with both internal and external stakeholders. By consulting with local stake holders, we gain insights into the most pressing com munity needs and identify key local actors to guide our interventions. For example, certain sites, such as Curi tiba (Brazil), have developed stakeholder mapping pro cesses to enhance trust, foster cooperation and ensure that no important stakeholders are overlooked.
Landis+Gyr actively engages in community consultation to foster collaboration and address local priorities. Broad-based community consultation committees and processes are commonly implemented, particularly for workforce-related topics. In locations such as Noida (India) and Reynosa (Mexico), our teams participate in various local community committees to strengthen ties and address shared concerns.
Additionally, Landis+Gyr maintains regular engagement with local authorities, particularly in regions where the Company operates major plants.

We conduct our business with in tegrity, adhering to the highest ethical standards of honesty, fair ness and respect for everyone's rights. We strive to cultivate trust and respect within our business ecosystem.

"Strategic Responsible Sourcing" describes Landis+Gyr's commitment to embedding sustainable environmental, social, and governance practices throughout our supply chain. This approach is driven by active collaboration with suppliers and the integration of sustainability principles into our procurement practices.
Landis+Gyr's sourcing activities create meaningful positive impacts, contributing to job creation, strengthening local economies and supporting positive socioeconomic effects. By collaborating closely with suppliers, we can contribute to enhancing their capabilities and competitiveness in areas such as cost, quality and technology, fostering shared growth and benefits across our supply chain. Despite these positive contributions, sourcing practices can also pose risks. Irresponsible sourcing can lead to environmental degradation through resource depletion and pollution. Social risks, such as poor labor conditions, unfair wages and lack of worker protections within supplier operations, can also arise, potentially leading to exploitation and unsafe working environments. Additionally, the sourcing of parts containing minerals such as gold introduces indirect risks related to human rights violations in conflict-affected areas. Failure to address these issues could lead to reputational damage and financial losses for Landis+Gyr.
At Landis+Gyr, our core values guide us to respect universal human and workers' rights, adhere to fundamental environmental and health and safety standards, and actively embed sustainability in all aspects of our operations. We hold ourselves accountable for our supply chain, ensuring that the rigorous ESG standards we maintain internally are consistently applied to our partners. We strongly believe that promoting these values and requirements contributes to the economic, technological, environmental and social development of our supply chain and the communities it supports.

At Landis+Gyr, we are committed to responsible and ethical sourcing practices. Achieving this requires a collaborative and multidisciplinary approach, with leadership from key functions such as Procurement, Quality, ESG, Legal Compliance and Product Environmental Compliance. These functions come together and collaborate under the umbrella of the dedicated ESG Supplier Due Diligence Committee which aims to implement and refine robust processes, policies, and actions on ESG supplier due diligence matters. The Committee meets regularly to review findings, make decisions and implement measures related to ESG supplier due diligence.
Our commitment to responsible sourcing is anchored in the Supplier Code of Conduct (SCoC), which includes a set of Green Procurement Requirements for environmental criteria. This Code establishes clear expectations for suppliers regarding employment practices – including the prohibition of child labor and modern slavery, health and safety standards – environmental stewardship, ethical conduct, information security and corporate governance. The SCoC is modeled after the Responsible Business Alliance's (RBA) Code of Conduct template. Suppliers are required to confirm their adherence by signing the SCoC or demonstrate compliance with equivalent standards.
The implementation of the SCoC is supported by the Global Procurement Directive and the ESG Supplier Due Diligence Procedure, which provide the framework for embedding these requirements across the procurement process.
In FY 2024, we increased the share of tier-1 suppliers of direct materials who adhere to our Supplier Code of Conduct to 91.8%, thus exceeding our FY 2025 target of 90.0%. See also the "Performance Metrics" section.
To uphold our commitment to responsible and ethical environmental, social and governance practices in our supply chain, Landis+Gyr has implemented a comprehensive supplier ESG due diligence process. This process enables us to identify, assess and mitigate ESG risks in our supply chain, ensuring compliance with laws, regulation and our sustainability commitments. The ESG Supplier Due Diligence Committee oversees its execution and reports findings to the Executive Management Team via the ESG Steering Committee.
In addition to the signing of our SCoC by suppliers, our due diligence approach comprises the following four steps:
4.Further supplier monitoring leverages public information sources to proactively identify potential supplier risks, including ESG concerns.
In FY 2024, we conducted a thorough review of our process to further strengthen its effectiveness, resulting in the publication of the ESG Supplier Due Diligence Procedure, which documents all process steps. Our primary focus during this year was on establishing the due diligence framework, familiarizing ourselves with our supply chain monitoring platform and launching our first supplier registration campaign. As a result, approximately 300 suppliers were registered, with nearly 85% completing an ESG risk assessment.
Additionally, a total of 1,125 suppliers signed our SCoC (including our Green Procurement Requirements) – a significant increase from 662 in FY 2023. Among these 1,125 suppliers, 127 were tier-1 suppliers of direct materials, collectively accounting for 91.8% of our direct material spend. In FY 2024, Landis+Gyr had 546 active tier-1 suppliers of direct materials.
Furthermore, we conducted a total of 52 ESG audits during the reporting year. The average audit score was 88%. Over the last three years suppliers representing 92.5% of our direct spend underwent ESG audits.
During one of these audits, we identified that a supplier in India appeared to be paying wages slightly below the legally required minimum (by less than 5%). We are investigating the matter and have requested additional information from the supplier. We are actively working with them to resolve the issue.
While we have not yet incorporated critical tier-2 suppliers into our ESG supplier due diligence process, our priority this year was to establish a strong foundation, focusing on tier-1 direct material suppliers. Looking ahead, we will continue to refine our approach, explore additional KPIs to strengthen our risk-based framework and further align Landis+Gyr's supply chain with our sustainability objectives.

Certain products in our portfolio require components containing limited quantities of minerals and metals, some of which may originate from conflict-affected regions associated with risks such as forced labor and child labor. To address these potential risks and ensure such practices have no place in our supply chain, we have implemented robust processes aligned with international guidelines and regulations, including the OECD Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, the SEC Rule under Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act (applicable in the US), and EU Regulation 2017/821 (applicable in the EU). Furthermore, our due diligence process uses tools like the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT) and the Extended Minerals Reporting Template (EMRT) developed by the Responsible Minerals Initiative. Through this system, we collect information from tier-1 suppliers about mineral origins and the smelters and refiners involved. In FY 2024, we reviewed the list of relevant suppliers and requested 504 suppliers to submit completed CMRTs and EMRTs. As a result, we received 116 CMRTs and 93 EMRTs.
Landis+Gyr also conducts targeted due diligence to address child labor risks, using tools such as our external supply chain monitoring platform and news monitoring platform. Aligning this process with international guidelines such as the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights underpins our commitment to social standards throughout Landis+Gyr's supply chain. Following a detailed review by Compliance and Procurement teams in FY 2024, no suppliers were identified as posing significant risks related to child labor or hazardous conditions for young workers. Additional information is available in the section "Human Rights & Child Labor".
In alignment with the amended Swiss Code of Obligations (Art. 964j–l CO) and the Swiss Ordinance on Due Diligence and Transparency in relation to Minerals and Metals from Conflict-Affected Areas and Child Labour (DDTrO), Landis+Gyr conducted an assessment of its exposure to these risks. We concluded that:
Landis+Gyr is committed to raising awareness about ESG issues within our supply chain. Through collaborative sessions with teams from Quality, Legal Compliance, ESG, R&D and Procurement, we discuss the progress of implementing our ESG targets and address associated challenges. As members of the UNGC and RBA, we leverage extensive training resources to deepen our understanding of ESG issues in the supply chain and refine our mitigation strategies.
To combat issues such as forced labor, child labor, and climate change, our employees receive specialized training sessions led by functional experts. This proactive approach aims to strengthen employees' sustainability competencies, supporting the integration of ESG considerations into our business practices. In FY 2024, various teams, including Quality, Legal Compliance, Procurement and ESG, received training on the new risk assessment tool and how to interpret the results.
To minimize adverse environmental impacts, Landis+Gyr is committed to increasing the sourcing of green materials, i.e., materials with a lower environmental footprint. Our Green Procurement Requirements (an annex to the SCoC) outline materials that are banned or restricted, or should be avoided, and encourage suppliers to use environmentally friendly alternatives.
Environmental aspects are a critical part of our ESG Supplier Due Diligence Process. All suppliers covered by this process were also screened or assessed regarding environmental criteria. Additionally, we also enhance the sustainability of our supply chain by incorporating recycled materials into packaging and optimizing transport logistics.
"Security and Data Privacy" reflects Landis+Gyr's approach to safeguarding sensitive information and personal data related to our employees, customers and suppliers, as well as protecting physical assets. This includes the responsible collection and processing of such data, the implementation of robust systems and controls to prevent unauthorized access and malicious attacks, and strict adherence to applicable laws and regulations in every country where we operate.
Landis+Gyr's products and solutions transform raw data into useful information, ensuring a more stable, efficient and reliable energy grid. Moreover, these solutions empower consumers by providing them with meaningful information and insights, enabling better awareness and control over their energy consumption. While digital technologies offer substantial benefits, they may present potential data privacy and security risks, especially in the event of a data breach. Such incidents may potentially lead to reputational harm and financial losses for Landis+Gyr and our customers. Additionally, cybersecurity attacks pose a significant threat, potentially compromising our operations, disrupting services and exposing sensitive business, customer and employee information. By prioritizing data privacy and security, we mitigate the risk of unauthorized data access, safeguard our stakeholders' privacy rights and protect our business from operational disruptions, reputational harm and financial losses.
Connected to utilities' systems and platforms, our smart meters collect, analyze and deliver data to enable informed decision-making for both energy utilities and consumers. Understanding the critical role data plays in our business, we are committed to implementing and maintaining processes and systems that prioritize data security. This includes applying the principles of privacy by design and by default, as well as security by design, while safeguarding privacy rights for our customers and other stakeholders. Our dedication to security and data protection extends beyond IT systems to encompass the security of both physical premises and people. By prioritizing data security and privacy, we strive to build trust and confidence among our stakeholders while maintaining the integrity of our operations.

At Landis+Gyr, we prioritize security and privacy as integral elements of our current and future products, services and corporate culture. To uphold this commitment, we have implemented a comprehensive Information Security Management System (ISMS) and a global data privacy governance program, ensuring strong protections against security threats and data breaches.
The global Information Security Policy serves as the cornerstone of our security framework, reinforcing the critical need to secure all information managed within Landis+Gyr, as well as data shared with partners and suppliers. This policy lays the foundation for a proactive and structured approach to information security by establishing security standards for our products, services and internal processes, thereby safeguarding the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information.
The Global Information Security team leads the establishment of policies and processes to secure all types of information, including digital files and directories, physical documents and technical drawings. These policies ensure the protection of IT systems across IT, R&D, and Manufacturing, as well as the associated processes for storing, transmitting and utilizing information. Additionally, the team drives training and awareness initiatives to equip employees with the knowledge and best practices needed to safeguard information and mitigate security risks. Landis+Gyr's Security Operations Center continuously monitors cybersecurity events through various methods, including conducting threat intelligence and operating a Security Incident and Event Monitoring (SIEM) system.
Our approach to data privacy is shaped by two key policies. The Global Privacy Policy establishes the Company's standards for collecting and processing personal data in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable privacy laws and regulations. Complementing this, the Employee Privacy Policy defines how Landis+Gyr collects and processes employee data while outlining the responsibilities of employees in handling personal information. Together, these policies provide a strong foundation for safeguarding personal data and upholding our commitment to privacy and compliance.
To uphold these standards, we have established a comprehensive data privacy governance program with a global footprint. This includes the designation of a Data Protection Officer in relevant jurisdictions and the establishment of a network of Privacy Champions in key locations. We further strengthen our approach by employing best-in-class tools to manage data subject access requests and maintain a data registry of processing operations. Along with managing a global privacy training program, the Data Privacy team regularly conducts data protection impact assessments. This ensures that new tools and processes incorporate privacy by design and by default from the early stages of product development.
Our dedication to robust information security practices is demonstrated by the ISO 27001 certification, reflecting our commitment to continuous improvement, risk management and compliance with global security standards. Currently, 17 Landis+Gyr sites are ISO 27001 certified, with efforts underway to expand this certification to a global multi-site level, along with SSAE 18 SOC 2 certification for key solutions. Furthermore, the ISMS is built on several security standards, including ISO/IEC 27001, NIST and SSAE 18.
To ensure the effectiveness of our efforts and continuously improve our security practices, Landis+Gyr undergoes third-party security assessments, most notably the Cybersecurity Capability Maturity Model (C2M2) and the Building Security in Maturity Model (BSIMM). C2M2 provides a structured framework for assessing and enhancing cybersecurity capabilities, helping organizations identify strengths and areas for improvement. Meanwhile, BSIMM evaluates software security initiatives by observing and quantifying the practices of various organizations, enabling them to benchmark their security maturity and enhance their software security efforts. This year, our average score across all 12 practice areas in the BSIMM assessment exceeded the average of the 130-firm peer group by 13%. In the C2M2 assessment, which covers 10 domains, Landis+Gyr achieved a score above 80%, demostrating a robust security posture. These results reflect our strong commitment to adressing cybersecurity and the continous improvement of our security maturity. For more information, see "Performance Targets & KPIs" section.
At Landis+Gyr we uphold high security standards for our software solutions. The Secure Software Development Life Cycle (S-SDLC) is a crucial element of our software development process, ensuring that security is integrated at every stage of the process – from design to deployment. This approach helps reduce vulnerabilities and protects against potential cyber threats. We have established a S-SDLC policy that outlines the requirements for secure development including the design, implementation, testing, and release of new firmware, software, and systems at Landis+Gyr. Additionally, the policy ensures that all development work complies with relevant laws, regulations and security standards.
This policy and others are regularly reviewed to maintain alignment with business objectives and to ensure compliance with applicable security and data privacy laws and regulations, as well as to integrate ongoing process improvements. Security development training is mandatory for development teams and is assigned regularly. These training sessions cover foundational concepts such as security and privacy by design, secure coding and security testing.
The Data Privacy team identifies and assesses data protection risks annually and evaluates and implements risk mitigation strategies and measures to effectively mitigate potential negative impacts. To ensure continued compliance, Landis+Gyr conducts integrated privacy reviews into the product development lifecycle, such as data privacy impact assessments and incorporation of privacy by design, ensuring that all products comply with data protection laws and regulations and safeguard the privacy rights of data subjects. To further strengthen our commitment to data privacy, Landis+Gyr achieved certification under the US Data Privacy Framework in FY 2024, underscoring our commitment to high data protection standards and facilitating secure data transfers between the US, and the EU, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
(GRI 418-1)
Landis+Gyr actively engages with customers and other key stakeholders to gather valuable insights on security. Through surveys and direct communication channels, we ensure their input shapes the continuous enhancement of our policies and processes, aligning them with the evolving expectations and needs of our stakeholders.
In the event of a security or data privacy incident, Landis+Gyr has implemented a comprehensive response framework to mitigate negative impacts and maintain trust. Mitigation measures include providing open channels for stakeholders to effectively communicate any issues or concerns directly to the Company, and exchanging information with all involved stakeholders in the event of an issue. When necessary, we proactively reach out to Supervisory Authorities, leveraging our Data Protection Officer's communication channel with regulators. Throughout the process, we communicate regularly, fostering transparency and building confidence with stakeholders in our ability to manage risks effectively.
Anyone finding a vulnerability related to Landis+Gyr can report it via the Report a Security Issue feature, located at the bottom of the main Landis+Gyr website. Additionally, the Cybersecurity Incident Funnel provides an overview of the current risk situation, helping to monitor cybersecurity events effectively. The Company also tracks the number of breaches or complaints related to customer data privacy and data loss, ensuring transparency and accountability in its operations. In FY 2024, no substantiated complaints concerning breaches of customer privacy and identified leaks, thefts or losses of customer data were experienced.
Landis+Gyr is dedicated to fostering a strong culture of security and data privacy across the organization through comprehensive awareness programs, targeted training and regular testing. By promoting this mindset, we ensure that all employees recognize the importance of safeguarding sensitive and personal information and adhering to security and privacy standards.
To reinforce this commitment, we distribute regular newsletters to keep employees informed and conduct mandatory annual training sessions for all staff. These initiatives are designed to refresh and expand employees' understanding of security and privacy principles, equipping them with the knowledge needed to effectively address potential risks and uphold the Company's high standards for data protection.
"Business Integrity and Fair Taxes" encompasses adherence to socioeconomic laws and regulations, including international declarations, conventions and treaties, as well as national, sub-national, regional and local regulations. Business integrity addresses issues such as accounting and tax fraud, corruption, bribery and unfair competition
Ethical business practices are vital for building trust, fostering long-term relationships, and contributing to a fair and prosperous society. In contrast, unethical practices such as corruption, bribery and unfair competition distort markets, limit consumer choice and erode trust in corporate responsibility. Aggressive tax avoidance and usage of tax havens further damage reputations, deprive governments of essential resources and deepen economic inequalities.
Failure to adhere to business integrity and fair tax practices can expose Landis+Gyr to significant financial risks including legal penalties, fines and reputational damage. These risks can lead to loss of investor confidence, decreased market value and exclusion from markets. Conversely, maintaining high standards of integrity and fair tax practices presents substantial opportunities. For example, it can enhance our reputation, attract ethical investors and foster long-term financial stability.
Landis+Gyr operates across a diverse range of regulatory environments, regularly engaging with government-owned entities and highly regulated customers. In this complex landscape, a steadfast commitment to business integrity, including tax transparency, is essential. Our stance is clear: every individual representing Landis+Gyr – be it an employee, agent, contractor, or distributor – must uphold the highest standards of integrity. Compliance with laws, regulations and fair market practices is not merely a legal obligation but a cornerstone of the trust and respect that underpins our Company's culture and reputation.

Training: Expanded training offerings to ensure employees and business partners understand and follow Company policies and regulations. Introduced dedicated training sessions for blue-collar workers and rolled out training on preventing sexual harassment, complementing existing modules on anti-bribery and corruption, preventing anti-competitive practices, and the Code of Business Ethics and Conduct.
ISO 37001: Launched an internal assessment for ISO 37001 certification, with a final decision expected in the next ESG cycle (FY 2025–2027).
Due Diligence Process: Strengthened the due diligence process for high-risk third parties (e.g., agents, resellers and distributors). Enhanced training to ensure compliance with Landis+Gyr's policies and applicable regulatory framework.
Landis+Gyr's ambition is to maintain an undisputed reputation as a trusted and reliable partner with the highest integrity standards. This commitment is supported by an organization led by the Chief Compliance Officer, who oversees the implementation of compliance policies and processes at all levels of the organization and provides guidance on related topics to internal stakeholders. Compliance with laws and regulations is continuously monitored by business units across our global organization, with support from the global Legal & Compliance team.
Landis+Gyr's Code of Business Ethics and Conduct serves as the foundation of its responsible business practices. It applies to all employees, directors and agents, ensuring ethical conduct across our operations. Additionally, the Company communicates its ethical standards to suppliers and business partners through dedicated policies, ensuring integrity across the Company's value chain. Understanding, owning and living this policy is the responsibility of all Landis+Gyr employees and partners.
In FY 2024, Landis+Gyr did not record any instances of non-compliance with laws or regulations that led to administrative or judicial sanctions, fines, or appeals. Likewise, the Company did not receive any fines or nonmonetary sanctions during this period. This achievement reflects Landis+Gyr's firm adherence to all relevant obligations issued by local, regional and national governments, as well as regulatory authorities and public agencies.
Landis+Gyr maintains a zero-tolerance policy toward corruption and bribery, conducting all business with professionalism, fairness and integrity.
Our Anti-Corruption Policy applies to all Company's directors, officers, employees, contractors, consultants, agents, intermediaries and resellers acting on behalf of Landis+Gyr, particularly in dealings with public officials. It outlines key principles and provides comprehensive guidance in areas such as public official interactions, sponsorships and lobbying. Annual training reinforces compliance.
In the event of a corruption-related concern or incident, our Compliance function conducts thorough investigations. Additionally, the compliance team collaborates with Internal Audit to conduct their assessments on business integrity matters including anti-corruption. This has helped us to identify areas requiring attention.
In FY 2024, no employee, distributor, reseller or agent of Landis+Gyr was involved in administrative or legal proceedings related to bribery or corruption. We identified one corruption-related incident involving the misuse of a company credit card during the reporting period. Following a thorough investigation conducted by the Internal Audit and Compliance teams, the employee responsible was dismissed. As a result of this incident, the company has extended and strengthened its expenditure procedures for credit card usage to prevent future occurrences and ensure stricter compliance.
Our Unfair Competition and Antitrust Policy defines clear requirements for compliance with anti-competition and antitrust laws and regulations. To support compliance, employees in customer-facing roles, management positions, and those engaging with agents, distributors, vendors and competitors complete annual training on anti-corruption and competition matters. Additionally, the Chief Compliance Officer and members of the Legal & Compliance team provide ad hoc training as needed, including sessions during visits to Landis+Gyr locations worldwide.
During the reporting period, Landis+Gyr was not involved in any administrative or legal proceedings related to anti-competitive behavior or antitrust violations.
Landis+Gyr ensures that all employees are well-versed in ethical business conduct through mandatory training programs designed to foster a vigilant and compliant workforce, committed to avoiding bribery, corruption, and other unethical behaviors.
All employees must adhere to the Code of Business Ethics and Conduct, with training provided on a yearly basis. New employees complete an onboarding e-learning session within 14 days of joining the organization, while all other employees undergo annual training on the Code's content. A stand-up training was facilitated for all global production workers in all Landis+Gyr locations on the topics of: Code of Conduct, anti-corruption, security, data privacy and information security.
Specialized compliance training, covering topics such as business ethics, conduct, bribery, corruption, anticompetitive practices, data privacy, anti-sexual harassment and other compliance risks, is also conducted annually. Moreover, Landis+Gyr's Executive Management Team also receives regular updates and training on the Code of Business Ethics and Conduct, with a focus on corruption prevention.
To ensure compliance with our training policy, we track the percentage of employees who have completed mandatory training. As of March 2025, 96% of active employees completed the Code of Business Ethics and Conduct e-learning session, which requires a minimum test score of 80% to pass. Additionally, 98.3% of employees in high-risk roles, including those interacting with customers, agents, vendors, and competitors, as well as employees in sales, finance, procurement or management completed the Preventing Bribery and Corruption training.
For metric performance, see the sections "Performance Targets & KPIs" and "Performance Metrics".
Landis+Gyr has established a Speak-Up system, providing various reporting channels to address suspected or known violations of the Code of Business Ethics and Conduct, internal policies or the law. These channels include a confidential 24-hour hotline, a web portal for employee complaints and the option to report concerns via e-mail to a manager, HR Business Partner, the Chief Compliance Officer or an external ombudsperson. A dedicated case management system is in place to record and monitor complaints, ensuring timely and appropriate resolution.
The Speak-Up System Process and Policy provides employees with clear guidance on how to report suspected violations of the Code of Business Ethics and Conduct. Instructions are also available on the Company's website, enabling external parties to raise integrity-related concerns. We track the number of reported incidents as a key metric.
Senior management, including the Chief Compliance Officer, regularly reports to the Board of Directors or its committees to address concerns, including those of a critical nature. In FY 2024, no critical concerns were reported to the Board of Directors by the Chief Compliance Officer.
Landis+Gyr has established a third-party due diligence process to ensure that all business partners – including suppliers, agents, resellers and distributors – uphold the highest standards of business integrity. Before entering a business relationship with a third-party, a mandatory integrity assessment is conducted, either independently or with support from a third-party provider. This process includes comprehensive screening against blacklists, sanction lists, adverse media and other databases to identify any potential integrity risks. The due diligence process is regularly reviewed and updated to ensure thorough screening and vetting of all business partners.
For ongoing partnerships, periodic due diligence, including on-site audits, is conducted to verify continuous adherence to agreed-upon business practices (see also "Strategic Responsible Sourcing" section).
Landis+Gyr is committed to ensuring tax transparency through a comprehensive framework guided by our Tax Policy and Transfer Pricing Policy. The Tax Policy sets out our dedication to comply with all applicable tax laws and regulations in every jurisdiction where we operate, emphasizing accuracy, predictability and transparency in tax-related matters. The Transfer Pricing Policy ensures that all intercompany transactions adhere to the arm's length principle, aligning with the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines. This policy promotes consistency in intercompany pricing methodologies across markets while maintaining a balanced transfer pricing position across the Group.
Responsibility for implementing and overseeing our tax governance model lies with the Group Head of Tax, with review and approval by the Group CFO and the Audit, Finance and Risk Committee of the Board of Directors. We maintain detailed documentation of all matters concerning tax obligations, reflecting our dedication to fiscal responsibility and legal compliance.
The Group Tax function is responsible for identifying, assessing, and managing tax risks associated with com mercial transactions. Landis+Gyr is firmly committed to ethical tax practices, avoiding the use of Special Purpose Vehicles, shell companies or tax havens for non-com mercial purposes. Exceptions are limited to dormant entities resulting from restructuring or legal liquidation. Adherence to the OECD's definition of "tax havens" guides decisions on establishing a presence in such lo cations, always backed by a thorough risk assessment and a focus on transparency and compliance.
In FY 2024, the OECD's Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) initiative continued to shape global tax policies, including the implementation of the 15% global mini mum tax rate under Pillar Two. Legislation was enacted by the European Union and Switzerland by the end of 2023 and became effective for Landis+Gyr's financial year beginning April 1, 2024.
Ahead of this implementation, Landis+Gyr conducted a thorough assessment of its potential exposure to Pillar Two income taxes, based on the most recent tax filings, country-by-country reporting and financial statements. The assessment revealed that effective tax rates in most jurisdictions where the Group operates exceed 15%. However, a few jurisdictions near the 15% threshold remain without transitional safe harbor relief, leading to limited exposure to additional taxes, depending on the geographical distribution of earnings.
Landis+Gyr has continued to file its annual Country-by-Country Report (CBCR) and actively monitors developments in public CBCR requirements, ensuring full compliance with emerging regulations.

As a signatory to the UN Global Compact, Landis+Gyr is firmly committed to upholding internationally recognized human rights and labor standards, both within our operations and across our supply chain. This commitment is deeply ingrained in how we conduct business, enshrined within our Code of Business Ethics and Conduct and Supplier Code of Conduct, and reflected in our organizational values. We believe in leading by example, embedding these principles into our leadership, culture, policies, processes and training initiatives.
Our approach is grounded in the International Bill of Human Rights and the International Labor Organization (ILO) Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work. We align our processes with international best practice, including the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. Furthermore, we strive to comply with applicable local laws and regulations concerning human rights and labor standards, including the provisions of the Swiss Code of Obligations (Art. 964 j–l CO) and the Swiss Ordinance on Due Diligence and Transparency in Relation to Minerals and Metals from Conflict Affected Areas and Child Labor. In locations such as Australia and the UK, we issue dedicated statements outlining the steps we take to combat modern slavery and human trafficking in our own operations and supply chain.
Furthermore, we are committed to engaging openly and regularly with stakeholders, including affected or potentially affected rightsholders and their legitimate representatives, to address human rights concerns. We also strive to contribute to the development of international sector-specific human rights standards, helping to drive industry-wide improvements. Transparency is central to our approach – we assess and address our most salient human rights risks, monitor the effective-

ness of our responses and report on our performance in human rights. Through these efforts, we continuously refine our strategies, ensuring our business practices align with our values, comply with applicable laws and regulations and meet our stakeholders' expectations.
In FY 2023, Landis+Gyr established a cross-functional Human Rights Committee comprised of representatives from diverse business units and functions including Legal & Compliance, ESG, Supplier Quality, Procurement, Internal Audit, HR and Communications. This committee has played a pivotal role in developing a Human Rights Framework and advancing the various workstreams identified and illustrated in the image above.
In FY 2024, we made significant strides in strengthening our human rights commitments across our key workstreams:
Our commitment to human rights is integral to every step of our interaction with value chain partners, starting from partner selection and continuing throughout our ongoing collaboration. This commitment extends beyond our relationship with direct suppliers to encompass all business partners, including agents, resellers, and distributors. We communicate our ESG requirements unequivocally and continuously screen suppliers and business partners for potential violations.
In FY 2024, we reviewed and further strengthened our ESG supplier due diligence process, which includes supplier ESG risk assessments, audits, supplier development and ongoing monitoring of ESG risks, including human rights and child labor.
As a result of our due diligence efforts:
Following these due diligence activities, no suppliers were identified as having a significant risk of child labor or young workers exposed to hazardous work.
If any significant risks are detected in our supply chain, we take immediate corrective measures and implement a supplier development plan to address the issue. Additionally, to mitigate risks associated with conflict mineral sourcing, we collect and analyze CMRTs and EMRTs, developed by the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI). This allows us to monitor our supply chain for the risk of conflict minerals, thus ensuring our suppliers adhere to ethical sourcing standards and uphold responsible business practices. For further details, see the "Strategic Responsible Sourcing" section.
Within our operations, Landis+Gyr maintains a strong commitment to upholding human rights principles. Our employees undergo regular training on our Code of Business Ethics and Conduct, which explicitly prohibits all forms of forced labor, including compulsory, bonded, indentured or child labor. It also underscores the importance of freedom of association, prohibits all forms of discrimination and promotes fair compensation and equal opportunities for all.
To further strengthen our commitment and in alignment with our new Human Rights Policy, we have implemented a robust Human Rights Speak-Up system, empowering employees to confidentially report concerns. This demonstrates our ongoing efforts to foster a culture of transparency and accountability.

1 As of FY 2024, the figure includes emissions resulting from the waste collected at smaller sites (Level 3).
2 The overall decrease in Scope 3 emissions in FY 2024 compared to FY 2023 is primarily due to reductions in Categories 1 and 11, largely driven by a lower volume of products shipped during the reporting period, as well as a change in the emission factors used for Printed Circuit Boards (see "Data Collection and Reporting Methodologies" section at the end of this chapter).
3 Calculated using the carbon savings enablement model developed in collaboration with The Carbon Trust. For more information, see section "Energy Efficiency and Climate Protection".

1 Due to a temporary disruption in data collection systems at our Izmir (Turkey) site, we were unable to directly capture chemical usage data for FY 2024. To address this gap, we conservatively estimated chemical consumption by analyzing the correlation between production volumes and chemical usage at the facility during the previous year. This established ratio was then applied to current production data to derive the estimated figures.
2 Lower production volumes at the Reynosa and Curitiba facilities led to a corresponding decrease in chemical usage.
3 Increased production at the Zhuhai facility resulted in higher ethyl alcohol consumption, primarily used for cleaning and degreasing raw materials.
4 The Company has developed a KPI known as the "Eco-Portfolio," which evaluates products across three dimensions: product impact, eco-design, and lifespan – measured against 13 specific criteria. Products that meet or exceed the defined threshold are classified within the Eco-Portfolio.

Sustainability Performance Indicators disclosed in the FY 2024 Landis+Gyr Sustainability Report are based on the following:
Landis+Gyr's corporate carbon accounting for Scopes 1, 2, and 3 follows the reporting guidelines set out in the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol – Corporate Ac counting and Reporting Standard. Under these guide lines, CO 2 equivalent (CO 2e) is defined as the universal unit of measurement to express the Global Warming Potential (GWP) of different greenhouse gases in terms of the GWP of one unit of carbon dioxide. This common unit allows the impact of various greenhouse gases to be evaluated and compared on a consistent basis.

Landis+Gyr first reported on climate-related risks and opportunities in accordance with the guidelines of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) in the FY 2023 Sustainability Report. By adopting the TCFD framework, we aim to improve transparency and disclosure of climate-related risks and opportunities to support better informed decision-making.
Building on our initial report and the findings of our FY 2024 double materiality assessment, this year's report provides an updated view of climate-related risks and opportunities, ensuring alignment with our latest insights and business developments (e.g., exit from the EV charging business). While we initially planned to further expand the financial quantification of these risks and opportunities in this new issue of the report, we have deferred this analysis to align with the upcoming CSRD reporting requirements on the financial effects of climate-related risks.
In conjunction with this analysis, we are actively working to reduce our carbon footprint by implementing a comprehensive set of carbon reduction measures covering all greenhouse gas (GHG) scopes. We are also determined to increase the environmental benefits of our products, solutions and services, demonstrating our firm commitment to enabling decarbonization.
The Board of Directors at Landis+Gyr is responsible for overseeing the Company's strategic direction and performance, including addressing the impacts of climate change. The Board integrates these considerations into the Company's strategy, planning and decision-making processes, recognizing the significance of climate-related risks and opportunities. Every year, the Board and Management jointly review the Company's strategy, focusing on ESG topics, including climate-related aspects and the Company's progress on climate-related targets.
The 'Nomination, Governance & Sustainability Committee (NGSC) is responsible for sustainability matters (including climate change), practices and procedures of the Company and the Group including review of the Sustainability Report, setting of and monitoring compliance with the Company's ESG targets and sustainability goals. The Audit, Finance and Risk Committee is responsible for, among other things, assessing the adequacy of the Company's systems, policies, and controls regarding financial and non-financial risks.
The management of climate-related impacts is integrated into the broader ESG framework. The ESG Steering Committee (ESG SteerCo) oversees all ESG activities and targets within the Company, including the assessment of climate-related risks and opportunities, as well as the implementation of mitigation measures.
Management ensures that climate-related risks are integrated into the Company's risk management system. This involves updating the Company's risk register annually to account for climate-related changes in the Company's risk profile or the external environment. Additionally, Management provides regular reports to the Board, via the Audit, Finance and Risk Committee, on the outcomes and practices of the Company's risk management.
Furthermore, Management sets, monitors and reports on specific targets and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) aligned with its climate-related objectives. Management also reports to the NGSC on ESG topics, including climaterelated issues, at least twice a year. The NGSC then reports these findings to Landis+Gyr's Board of Directors.
Further information can be found in the "Governance" section of the Company's Sustainability Report.
The Company has integrated ESG targets in its Short-Term Incentive Plan, accounting for 20% of the total target incentive amount. In FY 2024, these targets included the increase in our renewable electricity usage, the amount of CO2 savings enabled by our smart meter devices, and the share of products included in our Eco-Portfolio. Such targets focus our Company's efforts on specific sustainability priorities and drive progress in these areas. For further information, see the Company's "Remuneration Report".
To evaluate the resilience of our strategy in the face of climate change and to guide us in defining appropriate mitigation and development actions, we have conducted a comprehensive risk and opportunity assessment. Our risk assessment encompasses both transition aspects – such as market scenarios, regulatory and technological evolution, and reputational issues – as well as physical risks, including chronic and acute events such as flooding and wildfires. Conversely, our evaluation of opportunities considers aspects such as the impact of climate change on the operational efficiency of our assets, the growing demand for Company products and services resulting from climate-driven regulatory changes and behavioral shifts, as well as the potential to access a more attractive cost of capital, among other elements. Furthermore, we assess risks and opportunities over three different time horizons: short- (2025) medium- (2030) and long-term (2050). Key risks are summarized in the table below:

Climate-related issues significantly shape Landis+Gyr's business model, strategy and financial planning across multiple dimensions:
Adaptation and Mitigation Activities: Climate change poses physical risks to our assets and operations, requiring investments in resilient infrastructure and risk management. Additionally, transition risks demand investments to adapt our product portfolio to evolving customer preferences, regulations and market conditions.
Investment in Research and Development: Regulatory changes and the market shift to low-carbon solutions drive the need for increased investment in sustainable innovations. Advancing R&D efforts will be essential to developing energy-efficient products, integrating circular economy principles and enhancing grid resilience. Strategic investments in new technologies will also help maintain competitiveness and meet evolving customer and regulatory expectations.
Climate-related risks and opportunities are integrated into Landis+Gyr's financial planning to ensure long-term resilience and competitiveness. This integration influences key areas such as capital allocation and operational resilience. In capital allocation, we direct investments toward grid edge intelligence and smart infrastructure, while building on our core offering around smart metering. These efforts are aimed at capturing new market opportunities and supporting the global transition to a more sustainable and digitized energy future. In parallel, we strengthen supply chain resilience by investing in supplier diversification to mitigate risks associated with raw material shortages and climate-induced disruptions.
Climate-related opportunities are a key driver of revenue growth, as increasing/more volatile energy costs and global decarbonization efforts increase demand for advanced energy management solutions. At the same time, climate-related risks – such as raw material price volatility and the costs associated with renewable energy procurement – can exert upward pressure on operational expenses. To address this, we implement mitigation strategies that help contain these cost impacts and maintain profitability.
From a balance sheet perspective, our investments in innovative technologies and strategic partnerships that support efficient energy management and decarbonization enhance the value of our assets and reinforce our market competitiveness. However, we recognize that physical climate risks may require additional investment in infrastructure resilience. On the liabilities side, climaterelated regulatory compliance and increasing insurance premiums represent potential financial obligations. We actively manage these exposures through forward-looking risk assessments and adaptive business strategies.
At Landis+Gyr, business continuity is an integral part of our operational processes. With 41 Landis+Gyr sites certified under ISO 22301 (Security and Resilience – Business Continuity Management System), we ensure the security and resilience of our operations on a global scale. This framework provides us with a solid foundation to assess the climate resilience of our strategy and propose necessary mitigation actions.

In line with the recommendations of the TCFD framework, we have considered two IPCC scenarios to assess the climate resilience of our strategy:
This scenario aligns with the targets of the Paris Agreement and reflects an ambitious global effort to limit temperature rise to well below 2°C, ideally 1.5°C, above pre-industrial levels. It is also aligned with our own Science-Based Targets.
This scenario assumes rapid decarbonization, widespread adoption of clean energy technologies and stringent climate policies, including carbon pricing, regula-
tation due to carbon/"green" taxes.
tory mandates and green taxation. The energy sector would see a major transformation, with utilities and grid operators shifting toward renewable energy integration, electrification and grid modernization. Businesses that fail to adapt to the transition may face financial and competitive risks. Investments in low-carbon technologies would surge, while fossil fuel-dependent industries would experience structural declines.
This scenario represents a pathway of continued high emissions, with minimal climate policy action and extensive reliance on fossil fuels. It projects a global temperature increase of over 4°C by the end of the century, resulting in severe physical climate impacts, including extreme weather events, sea level rise and resource scarcity.
In this scenario, the energy industry would experience growing instability due to climate-related disruptions. Rising costs and resource constraints could accelerate the shift toward efficiency-driven solutions but may also create economic volatility.
The following table presents the strategic aspects considered in our assessment, as well as a summary of the necessary adaptations required for our business operations in both IPCC scenarios analyzed.

Considering various areas like the business model or supply chain within the two scenarios above elicited adaptation measures for potential future trajectories. While in both the low-emission and high-emission scenario adaptation measures could be identified, it becomes apparent that the harsher physical conditions in the high-emission scenario are likely to come with higher costs. Investments in the low-emission scenario are more likely to result in returns that foster Landis+Gyr's business model. Overall, the scenario analysis indicates that Landis+Gyr is wellpositioned with a set of adaptation strategies that enable it to pursue opportunities and mitigate risks under both potential scenarios.
Landis+Gyr's Business Continuity Management System (BCMS) provides a starting point for the identification and assessment of climate-related risks. This system is designed to identify, assess, proactively mitigate risks, develop contingency plans and establish response capabilities at all levels within the Company.
Expanding upon the robust foundation laid out by our BCMS, we have broadened our risk and opportunity assessment to encompass a wider array of climate-related considerations and delve deeper into their analysis. We utilize a multi-disciplinary approach, involving specialists from different departments and business lines, to comprehensively assess climate-related risks and opportunities.
In FY 2023, for our first-time TCFD analysis, we conducted 18 interviews with internal subject matter experts. These interviews facilitated insightful discussions, allowing us to identify and evaluate risks from the experts' perspectives, while broadening their understanding of potential climate-related risks or opportunities to the Company. In FY 2024, we conducted a review of the risks to reflect our latest insights and business developments, including our withdrawal from the EV charging business, and to ensure consistency with findings from our FY 2024 Double Materiality Assessment.
Once identified, risks undergo assessment to determine their likelihood and financial impact. This is crucial for prioritizing risks and efficiently allocating resources for mitigation actions. In terms of financial impact, risks are classified on a scale of 1 to 4 (where 1=Minor, 2=Moderate, 3=Major and 4=Critical). Likewise, opportunities are evaluated using a similar scale (1=Minor, 2=Moderate, 3=Major and 4=Transformative). Regarding the likelihood of occurrence, risks and opportunities are ranked across four levels: unlikely, possible, likely and very likely. This aligns with the convention applied in our Company's risk management system.
As we continue this journey, we are committed to ongoing refinement of our climate-related assessments, with a specific focus on enhancing precision in quantifying the financial impacts of risks and opportunities and integrating them more closely into our Company's risk management system. The assessment of our climaterelated risks and opportunities is reviewed annually. This enables us to deliver more valuable and transparent insights to our stakeholders.
Following the identification and assessment of climaterelated risks, we ensure that the highest-ranked risks are incorporated in our ESG Risk Monitoring Matrix. This matrix provides a comprehensive overview of the most relevant ESG risks impacting the Company and its stakeholders. From there, risks are integrated into our Company's risk management system.
Within that system, Management is responsible for the definition, implementation, monitoring and reporting of risk mitigation measures. Each material risk identified is assigned a risk owner at the senior management level, who is tasked with executing appropriate mitigation measures. The designated individual or team ensures the establishment of relevant controls, policies or procedures to effectively manage and reduce exposure to these risks.
Risks and their corresponding mitigation measures are continuously monitored to ensure proactive risk management. Regular reports are provided to Management and the Board of Directors, through the Audit, Finance, and Risk Committee.
In the new ESG cycle (FY 2025–2027), we plan to enhance our understanding of climate and water exposure risks across our supply chain by conducting detailed assessments, leveraging advanced data analytics and engaging with suppliers to identify vulnerabilities and strengthen resilience measures.
Our highest-ranked climate-related risks are integrated first into our ESG Risk Monitoring Matrix and subsequently into the Company's risk management system as discussed in the previous section.
For additional details, refer to "ESG Risk Management" under the "Governance" section of the Sustainability Report.
In FY 2022, our Company conducted a comprehensive inventory, based on FY 2021 data, of Scope 3 emissions to establish its Science-Based Targets (SBTs). These targets were submitted to the Science- Based Target initiative (SBTi) for validation and were approved in July 2023. Our approved targets align with the highest ambition level of limiting global warming to 1.5°C, as recommended by the Paris Climate Agreement. For a detailed description of our SBTs, see the "Energy Efficiency and Climate Protection" section.
Starting from FY 2023 a detailed inventory of Scope 3 emissions has been incorporated into Landis+Gyr's GHG disclosures within our annual sustainability report.
Besides absolute GHG emissions, the Company tracks additional metrics to address its climate-related risks and lower its carbon footprint, including:
For more details on the Company's performance regarding these metrics, see the "Performance Targets & KPIs" and "Performance Metrics" sections.
Landis+Gyr discloses Scope 1, 2 and 3 GHG emissions in its Sustainability Report. We have been tracking GHG emissions related to Scope 1+2 since 2007, and subsequently incorporated business travel emissions (Scope 3) into our reporting.
The Company measures its Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions in line with the GHG Protocol. For a discussion of our Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions, see the section "Energy Efficiency and Climate Protection". Additionally, see the section "Performance Metrics" for GHG emissions data.
Landis+Gyr establishes targets aimed at mitigating iden tified climate-related risks and capitalizing on emerging opportunities. In addition to our SBTs, we have designed a wide range of targets and actions to support these efforts. These objectives have been embedded into our global IMS, business continuity plans and some of our 3-year ESG roadmaps. For further information on our targets, see the "Performance Targets & KPIs" section.
