AUDITOR'S REPORT (Translation of the Finnish original)
To the Annual General Meeting of Olvi Oyj
Report on the Audit of Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Olvi Oyj (business identity code 0170318-9) for the year ended on December 31st, 2019. The financial statements comprise the consolidated balance sheet, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity, statement of cash flows and notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies, as well as the parent company's balance sheet, income statement, statement of cash flows and notes.
In our opinion
- the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the group's financial position as well as its financial performance and its cash flows in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU.
- the financial statements give a true and fair view of the parent company's financial performance and financial position in accordance with the laws and regulations governing the preparation of financial statements in Finland and comply with statutory requirements.
Our opinion is consistent with the additional report submitted to the Board of Directors.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with good auditing practice in Finland. Our responsibilities under good auditing practice are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of Financial Statements section of our report.
We are independent of the parent company and of the group companies in accordance with the ethical requirements that are applicable in Finland and are relevant to our audit, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
In our best knowledge and understanding, the non-audit services that we have provided to the parent company and group companies are in compliance with laws and regulations applicable in Finland regarding these services, and we have not provided any prohibited non-audit services referred to in Article 5(1) of regulation (EU) 537/2014. The non-audit services that we have provided have been disclosed in note 8 to the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying financial statements.

We have also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls. This includes consideration of whether there was evidence of management bias that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.
| Key Audit Matter | How our audit addressed the Key Audit Matter |
|---|---|
| Revenue recognition | |
| We refer to the note of the financial statements 1 section “Principles for recognition of income” | |
| Sales of beverage products are recognised when the Group has delivered the products to the customer and when control over the products has been transferred to the customer, and there are no outstanding obligations that could affect the customer’s acceptance of the products. Delivery is considered to be realised only once the products have been delivered to the location agreed with the customer, and the risk of non-marketability and damage has been transferred to the customer. | |
| Beverage sales often involve annual discounts. Sales are recognised at the price specified in the sales contract less annual discounts per the terms and conditions of contracts, as well as any returns of defective products estimated at the time of sale. | |
| Revenue recognition is a significant risk of material misstatement referred to in EU regulation No 537/2014, point (c) of Article 10(2) due to risk of incorrect amount and timing of revenue recognition. | Our audit procedures to address the risk of material misstatement in respect of correct timing of revenue recognition included among others, the following: |
| - We assessed the appropriateness of group’s accounting policies over revenue recognition and compared the group’s accounting policies over revenue recognition with applicable accounting standards; | |
| - We examined the nature of the revenues, the amount and timing of recognition and the terms of the sales contracts; | |
| - We tested the amount and timing of the revenue and discounts recognised. Our testing included among others obtaining third party confirmations, comparing sales and yearly discounts to sales contracts and comparing timing of sales recognition to freight documentation; | |
| - We performed analytical procedures on revenue and discounts recognised; | |
| - We assessed the completeness and appropriateness of the group’s disclosures in respect of revenues. | |
| Impairment testing – Goodwill | |
| We refer to the note 13 and 14 | |
| At the balance sheet date 31 December 2019, the amount of goodwill was 26,4 million euros, which represents 6,6 % of total assets and 10 % of equity (2018: 26, 1 million euros, 7,2 % of total assets and 11 % of equity). | |
| Valuation of goodwill is a key audit matter because: | |
| - the annual impairment testing process is complex and includes estimates; | |
| - impairment testing is based on assumption concerning the markets and economy and | |
| - goodwill is material to the financial statements. The valuation of goodwill contains a significant risk of material misstatement referred to in EU regulation No 537/2014, point (c) of Article 10(2c). | In order to cover the significant risk associated with goodwill, our audit procedures included, among others, the following: |
| - We assessed, with the assistance of our valuation experts, the appropriateness of the assumptions and methods used in the impairment testing. Our procedures were focused especially to the following assumptions: forecasted growth of revenue, operating margin and the weighted average cost of capital used to discount cash flows. | |
| - We tested the mathematical accuracy of the calculations. | |
| - We assessed the appropriateness of the sensitivity analysis and the possibility that a somewhat possible change in a central assumption could lead to the carrying value of a unit exceeding the amount of future cashflows. |

| The estimated future cash flows of the cash generating units are calculated based on present value calculations, the results of which may change significantly when the assumptions used change. Present value is affected by multiple assumptions, such as the growth of revenues, gross margin and the interest rate used as the discount rate. Changes in these assumptions may lead to impairment in the value of goodwill. | • We assessed the adequacy and appropriateness of the information concerning impairment testing presented in notes 13 and 14. |

Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director for the Financial Statements
The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU, and of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the laws and regulations governing the preparation of financial statements in Finland and comply with statutory requirements. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are also responsible for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for assessing the parent company's and the group's ability to continue as going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting. The financial statements are prepared using the going concern basis of accounting unless there is an intention to liquidate the parent company or the group or cease operations, or there is no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance on whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with good auditing practice will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with good auditing practice, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the parent company's or the group's internal control.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
- Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors' and the Managing Director's use of the going concern basis of accounting and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the parent company's or the group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion.

Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the parent company or the group to cease to continue as a going concern.
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events so that the financial statements give a true and fair view.
- Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
