Our purpose, strategy and markets

OUR PURPOSE IS TO HELP ORGANIZATIONS REACH THEIR FULL OPERATIONAL POTENTIAL

QPR Software's mission is to innovate, develop and deliver software for analyzing, monitoring, and modeling the organizations' operations.

The company also offers professional services to ensure that customers get full value from the software and related methods.

We help our customers drive process and business transparency, ensure that their operations are run as required and designed, and create actionable intelligence where modern AI meets thought leadership.

By providing organizations with the technologies and methods to transform the invisible into visible and the unknown into manageable, they are empowered to reach long-lasting, continuous results.

OUR STRATEGY AND STRATEGIC TARGETS

QPR Software Plc refined its current strategy in December 2023 to reflect market changes and the Company's priority areas and announced renewed financial goals for the strategy period 2024-2027.

In accordance with the refined strategy, the Company profiles itself even more strongly as a software and SaaS player and as a consultant for its core business areas as well as a leading player in Digital Twin of an Organization (DTO) technology. The aim of the

refined strategy is to further increase the value the Company produces for its customers and to support the Company's growth through concentration. The Company's mission is to innovate, develop and deliver software for analyzing, monitoring, and modeling the organizations' operations. The Company also offers consulting services to ensure that customers get full value from the software and related methods.

In accordance with the adjusted strategy (2024-2027), the Company focuses its business on the international growth of SaaS solutions offered by Digital Twin of an Organization (DTO) and the process mining at its core. The Company's DTO offering also includes software developed for modeling and managing and measuring the organization's strategy and performance.

The Company's revised financial goals for the strategic period 2024-2027 are average twenty (20) percent annual SaaS growth, and sustainable operating profit.

The Company also continues to build new strategic partner networks in accordance with the strategy announced on March 10, 2022, to achieve a scalable Go-to-Market model, expand its own offering and improve the value it provides to its customers together with technology and implementation partners. The Company concentrates its growth investments in Europe and the Middle East and, through a partner network, on new market areas such as North America.

THE CURRENT STATE OF OUR MARKETS

QPR Software reports its geographical regions as Finland, the rest of Europe (including Turkey), and the rest of the world.

The company has its own sales personnel in Finland and the United Arab Emirates. Growth investments are focused particularly on the European and Middle Eastern markets. In addition, QPR seeks to expand its customer base in new markets, such as North America, through a strong partner network.

QPR works in close collaboration with local partners to strengthen its market position and respond to regional customer needs. The goal is scalable international growth by combining in-house expertise, advanced technology, and the power of the partner network.

REVIEW BY THE CEO

The year 2024 marked a significant turning point for QPR Software. We have systematically advanced our strategy, expanded our partner network, and strengthened our position in the international process mining market. The initiatives launched in the previous year—including organizational adjustments, a sharpened focus on core business, and the establishment of a sustainable cost structure—have been in full swing throughout 2024, driving growth and reinforcing the foundation of our business.

In October–December, net sales grew by 23% compared to the same period in the previous year. This growth was driven by successful deals in North America and the Middle East during the final quarter of the year. SaaS revenue increased by 14%, while software net sales grew by 44%. EBITDA reached 275 thousand euros, representing a 1,020% increase from the comparison period. This marked the ninth consecutive quarter of improved results compared to the corresponding period.

Recurring revenue for the fiscal year 2024 amounted to 4,858 thousand euros. Its share of total revenue increased from 61% to 73% during the year. For the full year, revenue declined due to our decision at the end of 2023 to discontinue non-core consulting services in Finland.

In the 2024 financial year, EBITDA rose to 1,020 thousand euros, an increase of 838 thousand euros compared to the previous period, accounting for 15% of net sales. We are very pleased with this development and will continue building growth in 2025, which is expected to be reflected in the profitability figures.

Market Entry in North America and Strong Growth in the Middle East

We initiated our market entry in North America and moving forward, we will strengthen our position in the region through new partnerships that offer long-term growth opportunities. Additionally, we signed an agreement with a U.S.-based financial services company that selected QPR ProcessAnalyzer to support the optimization of its business processes.

Our international operations also strengthened in the Middle East, where several deals were recorded in the final quarter, including an agreement with a leading Saudi Arabian financial services company. The growth of the Middle Eastern market and the increasing interest of local businesses in process mining solutions provide us with a strong foundation for further expansion in the region.

Product Innovation and Snowflake Partnership

The most significant achievement in product development in 2024 was the launch of our flagship product, QPR ProcessAnalyzer, on the Snowflake Marketplace. This new deployment model modernizes the software acquisition process, enabling faster and more cost-effective adoption for our customers. The launch marks a key milestone in our strategic partnership with Snowflake and strengthens our position in the market as an innovative player.

QPR Software Plc was recognized as a Visionary in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Process Mining Tools for the second consecutive year. This recognition reinforces our position as a leading player in the industry and reflects our long-term commitment to developing world-class solutions for our customers.

Strengthening Customer Relationships and Competitive Advantage

In 2024, we expanded our customer base, strengthened collaboration with existing clients, and won back customers from competitors. QPR gained particular interest due to its agile delivery model, personalized service, strong ROI, and low total cost of ownership (TCO).

The process mining market is shifting from a product-centric business model toward a platform economy, where software and data services integrate with large technology platforms, providing customers with a more flexible and efficient way to leverage process mining. QPR has been at the forefront of this transformation through strategic product innovations. Our focus on Snowflake technology supports long-term growth and strengthens our international position. However, realizing its full potential will require time and investments.

Long sales cycles are inherent to our business, meaning the timing of individual deals can lead to significant fluctuations in quarterly results. In the first half of 2025, we expect moderate growth, as some legacy product contracts expired at the turn of the year. However, our longer-term goals remain strong, and QPR is ready to seize the opportunities presented by market developments.

I would like to sincerely thank our customers, partners, and shareholders for their trust in our company. A special thank you also goes to our employees for their dedication and hard work—without it, we would not have achieved these results.

We remain committed to driving innovation, customer value, and long-term growth with determination.

REPORTING AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

QPR Software Plc is a pioneer in business process optimization solutions and has positioned itself as a leading player in Digital Twin of an Organization (DTO) technology and one of the most advanced process mining software companies in the world.

QPR innovates, develops, and delivers software for analyzing, monitoring and modeling the operations of organizations. The company also offers consulting services to ensure that customers get full value from the software and associated methods.

QPR Software reports one business segment, which is Organizational Development of organizations. In addition to this, the Company reports revenue from products and services as follows: Software licenses, Renewable software licenses, Software maintenance services, Cloud services, and Consulting.

The company's reported recurring revenues consist of SaaS net sales, maintenance services, as well as revenue from renewable licenses. Licenses are sold to customers for perpetual use or for an agreed, limited period. The revenue from SaaS and maintenance services is recorded monthly as recurring revenue over the contract period.

Renewable software licenses are sold to customers as a user right with an indefinite-term contract. These contracts are automatically renewed at the end of the agreed period, usually one year, unless the agreement is terminated within the notice. Renewable license revenue is recognized at one point in time, in the beginning of the invoicing period, yet at the earliest on the delivery.

The geographical areas reported are Finland, the rest of Europe (including Turkey), and the rest of the world. Net sales are reported according to the location of the customer's headquarters. Until 2023, the company provided consulting services, predominantly to public administration, which were unrelated to its core business. In the end of 2023, the company discontinued these activities. In the future, the company will prioritize offering consulting services tailored to the software it develops, aiming to deliver maximum added value to its customers.

The company began reporting the production costs of the cloud platform within the materials and services expense category starting from 2024. The figures for the comparative period will be presented at the end of this financial bulletin's table section, according to both reported and 2024 cost groupings.

NET SALES

The net sales for January–December was 6,614 thousand euros (7,550), marking a 12% decline compared to the previous year. This decrease was primarily due to the company's decision to discontinue non-core consulting services in Finland at the end of 2023. The share of recurring revenue in total revenue increased from 61% to 73%.

Our SaaS net sales, which is at the core of our strategy, grew by 15%, and software revenue increased by 14%. The share of software net sales in total revenue grew from 67 percent to 87 percent.

The net sales from software licenses was 926 thousand euros (485), reflecting a 91% increase. This growth was primarily driven by a higher volume of partner sales, particularly among customers in the Middle East, as well as the expansion of an existing agreement with

a global pharmaceutical company. Additionally, the company achieved broader success in partner-driven sales across multiple geographic regions.

The net sales from renewable software licenses amounted to 420 thousand euros (504), a decrease of 17%. This decrease was driven by individual customers transitioning to the SaaS service model, customer churn, and negative exchange rate effects. These factors were partially offset by new customer acquisitions and price increases implemented to counter inflationary pressure.

The net sales from software maintenance services amounted to 1,717 thousand euros (1,720). The decline in net sales was negatively impacted by customer churn, a decline in revenue from individual customers, and, to a lesser extent, the transition of existing customers to the SaaS service model. The decline was partially offset by the expansion of cooperation with existing customers, the inclusion of Middle Eastern customers' projects under maintenance services, new customer contracts, and the previously agreed expansion with a global pharmaceutical company. Additionally, price increases to counter inflationary pressures and favorable currency exchange rate effects contributed to net sales growth.

SaaS net sales grew by 15% to 2,721 thousand euros (2,371). The growth was primarily driven by successful new customer acquisitions and the expansion of existing customer relationships. Price increases to counter inflationary pressure, as well as customers transitioning from licenses to the SaaS service model, also contributed to the growth. On the other hand, customer churn and revenue decline in certain accounts had a negative impact on SaaS revenue growth.

Consulting net sales was 830 thousand euros (2,469), a decrease of 66%, following the company's discontinuation of consulting services outside its core business in Finland. Additionally, the company recognized revenue from fixed-price projects in the Middle East according to their completion status during the first half of 2023. These projects were completed in the second quarter of the same year. In the comparison period, the company had a large customer project in Europe, but there was no similar project during this reporting period.

The Group's net sales was 39% (46) from Finland, 40% (42) from the rest of Europe (including Turkey) and 21% (12) from the rest of the world.

NET SALES BY PRODUCT GROUP

The Group's net sales consists of software and consulting business and was divided as follows:

| | Group, IFRS
(EUR 1,000) | | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| | 2024 | 2023 | Change % |
| Software licenses | 926 | 485 | 91 % |
| Renewable software licenses | 420 | 504 | -17 % |
| Software maintenance services | 1,717 | 1,720 | 0 % |
| Cloud services | 2,721 | 2,371 | 15 % |
| Consulting services | 830 | 2,469 | -66 % |
| Total net sales | 6,614 | 7,550 | -12 % |

NET SALES GEOGRAPHICALLY

The geographical areas reported are Finland, the rest of Europe including Turkey, and the rest of the world. Net sales are reported according to the customer's location.

| | Group, IFRS
(EUR 1,000) | | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| | 2024 | 2023 | Change % |
| Finland | 2,579 | 3,499 | -26 % |
| Europe incl. Turkey | 2,656 | 3,128 | -15 % |
| Rest of the world | 1,379 | 923 | 49 % |
| Total net sales | 6,614 | 7,550 | -12 % |

NET SALES DEVELOPMENT

The Group's EBITDA for January–December was 1,020 thousand euros (182), an increase of 838 thousand euros compared to the previous year. The operating result was -16 thousand euros (-813), showing an improvement of 797 thousand euros compared to the same period last year. The result for the period was -82 thousand euros, which is a significant improvement from the previous year (-924).

The active measures implemented by the company in 2023 to improve cost structure and develop business profitability are already partially visible in the first quarter of 2024 and fully realized by the third quarter.

The Group's variable costs amounted to 1,026 thousand euros (1,241). The increase in costs was primarily driven by higher partner commissions, resulting from significant license deals won in the Middle East.

The company's fixed costs amounted to 4,701 thousand euros (6,127), a decrease of 23% compared to the previous year. This decrease was driven by cost-saving programs implemented in the second and final quarters of 2023, as well as lower personnel expenses resulting from the outcomes of change negotiations. The full impact of the cost-saving measures realized starting from the third quarter of 2024. The effect of these savings was partially offset by lower R&D capitalizations and investments required for the reorganization of the company's operational activities.

Earnings per share were EUR -0.005 (-0.055) per share.

FINANCE AND INVESTMENTS

In 2024, the company's free cash flow, including cash flows from operations, investments, and office lease payments, totaled 436 thousand euros (108). The significant improvement in free cash flow resulted from stronger operating cash flow, a substantial decrease in investment-related cash outflows, and lower paid office lease expenses.

The cash flow from operations during the review period amounted to 806 thousand euros (849). The primary reason for this change compared to the comparable period was successful collection in the last quarter of 2023, particularly regarding the advanced license payments for 2024. Annual billing is mostly concentrated around the end of the year, making it seasonal.

The change in working capital was affected by higher sales commissions paid to the company's personnel for 2023, as well as holiday compensation for employees who left due to the change negotiations. The negative cash flow was also due to the fact that the largest new deals occurred in a market where payment behavior is slow.

The positive cash flow in the fourth quarter was primarily driven by successful collection of receivables and lower costs. Compared to the same period last year, a significant reduction in expenses is a key reason for the clear improvement in operational cash flow.

Net financial expenses amounted to 87 thousand euros (111), including exchange losses of 17 thousand euros (14).

Investments totaled 753 thousand euros (637), and those were mainly research and development investments and investments in leased assets.

The company's net financing net cash flow for the period January–December was -539 thousand euros (639). The negative cash flow was primarily due to a scheduled loan repayment of EUR 500 thousand. Additionally, during the comparison period, the company raised 760 thousand euros through a directed share issue.

The group's financial situation is satisfactory. At the end of the review period, the group's cash and cash equivalents were 825 thousand euros (884). Short-term receivables were 2,024 thousand (1,706).

Euro-denominated receivables accounted for 80%, and 67% of invoices had not yet matured. Of the total amount of short-term receivables, the share of 1-30 days overdue receivables was 26%, 30-60 days 2% and more than 60 days 5%.

The Group has an available credit limit of 500,000 thousand euros, which remained unused at the end of the financial year.

At the end of the reporting period, the Group had bank loans totaling 1,000 thousand euros, of which 500 thousand euros was short-term, and 500 thousand euros was long-term debt. In accordance with the original financing agreement, the first installment of 500 thousand euros was due on January 31, 2024. After this, installments of 500 thousand euros will mature annually in January 2025 and 2026. The covenants related to the loan are based on the company's EBITDA and equity ratio. The EBITDA of the covenants is tested every six months, and the equity ratio is tested

annually according to the situation on the last day of the year. Both covenants exceeded the agreed threshold in 2024.

The equity ratio increased to 11.9% (8.1%), driven by higher level of received advance payments and an improved financial result for the fiscal year.

The new lease agreement signed in June 2024 negatively impacts the company's equity ratio, as the IFRS 16 interest effect increases the lease liability by approximately 100 thousand euros.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

QPR has positioned itself as a leading player in Digital Twin of an Organization (DTO) technology. The company innovates and develops software products that analyze, measure, and model the operations of organizations.

PARENT'S COMPANY'S FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE AND POSITION

During the reporting period, the parent company's revenue amounted to EUR 6,098,792, representing a 12.3% decrease compared to the previous year (2023: EUR 6,957,506). The decline in revenue was primarily due to decreased consulting income, partially offset by growth in the software business.

The parent company's operating result as a percentage of revenue was -9%, totaling EUR -534,617 (2023: -13%, EUR -934,116). The improvement in the operating result was driven by cost-saving measures and growth in the software business but was negatively impacted by the decline in public sector consulting revenue in Finland and lower other income.

In addition to the aforementioned factors, the parent company's net result improved to EUR -643,379 (2023: EUR -1,402,736) due to lower financial expenses compared to the previous year. Financial expenses amounted to EUR 108,762 (2023: EUR 160,010).

The company has a single share class, with one vote per share and equal dividend rights. The book value per share is EUR 0.11, and all shares are registered in the book-entry system maintained by Euroclear Finland Oy.

The parent company's equity at the end of the financial year amounted to EUR 516,693 (2023: EUR 1,112,072). The decrease in equity was due to the loss for the financial year.

As a result of the company's cost-saving measures, the parent company's short-term liabilities decreased by EUR 316,322, totaling EUR 6,204,103. Short-term liabilities included EUR 2,442,634 in loans from subsidiaries, while the parent company had loaned EUR 779,698 to its subsidiaries. Additionally, short-term liabilities included EUR 2,185,830 in advance payments for 2025.

The parent company's return on equity (ROE) remained negative at -125%, staying at the same level as the comparison period (2023: -126%). The equity ratio was 10% (2023: 14%).

INTERNAL CONTROL

The objective of the Group's internal control and risk management is to ensure that the Group's operations are efficient and effective, information is reliable, regulations and policies are followed, strategic goals are achieved, changes in the market and operating environment are addressed, and business continuity is secured.

The Board of Directors of QPR Software Plc oversees the adequacy, appropriateness, and effectiveness of the internal control and risk management within the QPR Group. In accordance with the Board's annual calendar, a risk management report covering the risks described under the Risk Management section is presented to the Board.

The Board evaluates risks based on their potential threat to shareholders. Additionally, the Board ensures that internal control principles are defined within the company and that the effectiveness of internal control is continuously monitored.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group CFO is responsible for coordinating and reporting on the Group's internal control and risk management. The Group's risk management efforts are guided by legal requirements, shareholder expectations regarding business objectives, and the expectations of customers, employees, and other key stakeholders.

The objective of QPR's risk management is to systematically and comprehensively identify risks related to the company's operations and ensure they are effectively managed and considered in decision-making. Risk management is an integral part of the organization's responsibilities and is continuously improved by enhancing the company's operational processes.

Risk identification follows the principle of materiality, meaning that risks are monitored based on their significant impact on the company's business operations. QPR Software has identified the following three main risk categories related to its operations: Business risks, Information and product-related risks, financial risks.

The company has insured its assets, business interruption risks, and liability risks to mitigate potential damages.

QPR Software Plc's management system is certified under the ISO 9001:2015 quality standard, covering all company operations. This certification is audited annually by an independent external assessor.

BUSINESS RISKS

QPR Software has identified the following key business risks:

Country Risk

The risk is measured by the loss of revenue from specific countries. The company manages this risk through continuous market intelligence gathering, geographical and industry diversification, and careful consideration of geopolitical changes.

Customer Risk

The risk is measured by the customer churn rate for software maintenance services and the percentage of overdue receivables. Risk is mitigated through strong customer and reseller relationship management and active monitoring of accounts receivable.

Employee Risks

The risk is measured by employee turnover. It is managed through competent recruitment, effective leadership, and by providing employees with opportunities for job rotation and training.

Legal and Other Risks

The risk is measured by the total value of ongoing legal disputes in relation to the company's revenue. The company mitigates this risk through strong contractual expertise, standard contract terms, and ethical business practices aligned with company values.

QPR's country and customer risks are reduced by its business operations spanning over 50 countries, serving both public and private sectors across multiple industries.

Operating in international markets inherently involves a reasonable credit loss risk related to individual business partners. The company seeks to minimize this risk through continuous monitoring of standard payment terms, receivables, and credit limits. At the end of the reporting period, 5% (2023: 3%) of trade receivables were overdue by more than 60 days.

INFORMATION AND PRODUCT-RELATED RISKS

QPR Software has identified the following three key information and product-related risks:

Product Risk

The company mitigates this risk by ensuring its product portfolio remains competitive by differentiating itself through unique product capabilities. Product security is enhanced through continuous process improvements and automated malware prevention measures.

Intellectual Property (IP) Risk

The company protects its intellectual property rights (IPR) by maintaining the confidentiality of software source codes, ensuring secure storage, and filing selected patent applications.

In its process mining business, QPR follows an active IPR strategy, leading to the filing of five separate patent applications in Finland and the USA in 2012 for innovations related to automated process analysis from event data.

In April 2015, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) granted a patent based on these applications. In May 2016, QPR announced that it had received a second patent from the USPTO for its process mining technology.

The company ensures compliance with intellectual property rights by keeping its contracts up to date, providing staff training, and maintaining legal expense insurance.

Information Security Risks

QPR Software actively monitors and minimizes information security risks both operationally and through regular reporting to the Board of Directors. The company implements both administrative and technical measures to enhance system security.

To reduce information security risks, the company has adopted data and supplier management models, conducted annual audits of partners, and provided internal security awareness training.

QPR Software has had no significant information security incidents or product management issues, and there were no major changes in these risks during 2024.

In September 2024, Bureau Veritas conducted a recertification audit of QPR Software's Information Security Management System (ISMS) in accordance with the latest ISO 27001:2022 standard.

The ISO 27001 standard sets requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continuously improving an Information Security Management System (ISMS). This framework ensures confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information through risk management processes, providing stakeholders with assurance that risks are properly managed.

QPR Software's ISO 27001 certification was granted by Bureau Veritas, an independent and accredited certification body operating in 140 countries with over 78,000 employees.

Financial Risks

QPR Software has identified the following two key financial risks:

Currency Risk

The risk is measured by the percentage of non-euro-denominated receivables and the share of any single non-euro currency in total receivables. The company manages this risk by using the euro as the primary billing currency and applying currency hedging in line with its hedging policy.

The company continuously monitors the open positions of its key billing currencies. At the end of the financial year, 81% (2023: 79%) of the Group's trade receivables were denominated in euros. The company had no currency hedging in place at the end of the reporting period.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk refers to the risk of insufficient funding or unusually high financing costs due to a lack of liquid assets, particularly in cases of sudden business downturns requiring additional financing.

The objective of liquidity risk management is to maintain adequate liquidity and ensure that sufficient funds are available to support business operations as needed.

QPR maintains liquidity through efficient cash management, deposits, and rapid responses to changing financial conditions. The risk is measured using cash flow forecasts, which are actively monitored and supported by efficient debt collection.

The company's financial position is supported by a high proportion of recurring revenue. Additionally, QPR invoices most of its recurring revenue in advance, strengthening its financial stability.

As of December 31, 2024, the company's financial position had improved and was at a satisfactory level.

The parent company has a EUR 1.5 million long-term credit facility for financing needs. As of year-end 2024, EUR 1.0 million of this facility had been utilized. The credit agreement includes covenants based on EBITDA and the equity ratio. EBITDA covenants are tested

every six months. The equity ratio covenant is tested annually based on the year-end balance sheet.

As of December 31, 2024, both EBITDA and the equity ratio exceeded the agreed covenant thresholds. The credit facility will be repaid in two installments of EUR 500,000, due on January 31, 2025, and January 31, 2026.

To further mitigate liquidity risk, the company has a EUR 500,000 credit limit, which remained unused as of December 31, 2024.

A more detailed description of the company's financial risk management for 2024 can be found in Note 18 of the financial statements.

LEGAL DISPUTES

In 2023 and 2024, the company had no legal disputes.

OUTLOOK FOR 2025

Global economic uncertainty and geopolitical tensions continue to pose challenges to the business environment, making long-term forecasting difficult.

In 2025, as part of its turnaround strategy, the company is shifting its focus to investing in growth and business development, which will impact profitability during the financial year. Growth will be driven primarily in the United States, Europe, and the Middle East, supported by the strengthening of the partner network.

The process mining market is evolving from a product-centric business model towards a platform economy. QPR ProcessAnalyzer is the only process mining solution designed for the Snowflake AI Data Cloud environment and is also available as an application

on the Snowflake Marketplace. This opens new growth opportunities for the company, but achieving commercial breakthroughs will require time and investments.

Due to the nature of the business and long sales cycles, quarterly fluctuations may be significant. Growth in the first half of the year is expected to be moderate, as some legacy product customer contracts ended at the turn of the year.

The company forecasts that SaaS revenue will grow, and that the EBITDA will remain positive despite growth investments.

BOARD OF DIRECTOR'S PROPOSAL ON DIVIDEND DISTRIBUTION

At the end of the 2024 financial year, the parent company's distributable funds amounted to EUR 436,693. The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting that no dividend be distributed for the financial year 2024.

There have been no material changes in the company's financial position after the end of the financial year.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NEW AND AMENDED STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS ADOPTED IN 2024

Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current – Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (effective for financial years beginning on or after January 1, 2024) The amendments are to promote consistency in application and clarify the requirements for determining if a liability is current or non-current. The amendments specify that covenants to be complied with after the reporting date do not affect the classification of debt as current or non-current at the reporting date. The change in standard might have an impact on the information presented in future financial years.

Consolidation principles

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the parent company, QPR Software Plc, and the subsidiaries it controls. The parent company's control is based on the ownership of the entire share capital or a majority of shares in the case of subsidiaries, as well as 100% voting rights. The Company did not own shares in joint ventures or associated companies in 2024 and 2023.

Subsidiaries acquired during the financial period are consolidated from the date on which control is obtained, and divestments are included until the date on which control ceases. Intragroup shareholdings are eliminated using the acquisition cost method. Intercompany business transactions, receivables, liabilities, unrealized profits, as well as intragroup profit distribution, are eliminated in the Consolidated Financial Statements. The profit for the financial year applicable to non-controlling interests is presented separately in the consolidated comprehensive income statement, and the share of the non-controlling interest in shareholders' equity is presented separately in the consolidated balance sheet. The Group's subsidiaries did not have any non-controlling interests in 2024 and 2023.

Continuity of operations

The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the principle of continuity taking into account the active measures implemented, business forecast, and the long-term refinancing agreement at the beginning of 2023. Additional information in the Note 28.

Foreign currency translation

The functional currency of foreign subsidiaries has been determined to be the local bookkeeping currency.

Transactions denominated in foreign currency have been translated into the group reporting currency using the exchange rate valid on the transaction date. Monetary items have been converted into the Group reporting currency using the exchange rate on the closing date, and non-monetary items using the exchange rate on the transaction date. The exchange gains and losses from business operations are included in operating profit, and the exchange gains and losses from financial assets or liabilities are included in financial income and expenses.

The income and expense items in the comprehensive income statements of foreign subsidiaries are translated into Euro using the average exchange rates for the year, and the balance sheets are translated using the exchange rates on the balance sheet date. Translation differences arising from the elimination of foreign subsidiaries and the translation of equity items accumulated after the acquisition are entered into other comprehensive income items. The foreign currency gains and losses from monetary items which are part of the net investment in a foreign unit are recognized in other comprehensive income items.

Revenue recognition

Net sales include the normal sales income from the

Group's business operations, deducted sales-related taxes and discounts granted. When calculating net sales, they are adjusted to account for exchange rate differences.

Revenue is recognized when (or as) the control of goods or services are transferred to a customer either over time or at a point in time.

The consolidated net sales consist of software license sales, software maintenance services, cloud services (SaaS) and consulting. In relation to its resellers, the Company acts as a principal and records in its net sales the revenue from the software sales of the resellers to the end customers, and records in its costs the reseller commission.

Software license revenue is recognized at a point in time, when (or as) a company transfers control of license or user rights to a customer.

Limited term license performance obligations are license and maintenance, and revenue is recognized as the performance obligation if fulfilled, either at a point in time or over time, during the agreement period.

Long-term software license contracts agreed for indefinite duration have the performance obligation for licenses and maintenance. The license part of the revenue is recognized at a point in time, in the beginning of each invoicing period, however not earlier than delivery is performed. The maintenance part as well as cloud services in total are recognized over time, evenly during the contract period.

Software maintenance services covering software updates and customer support are recognized over time, evenly during the agreement period.

Cloud services (SaaS) in totality are recognized over time, as the performance obligation is the service rendered over time.

Revenues from consulting services are recognized as services are rendered, when (or as) control of the services has been transferred to the customer.

The Group uses payment terms typical for each market, including domestic terms, which are typically shorter than international terms.

Advance payments

Licenses and maintenance fees for long-term, indefinite-term software licenses (Renewable Licenses), software maintenance revenues, as well as revenues from cloud services (SaaS services) are generally invoiced before the commencement of the performance obligation. The portion of the performance obligation is recorded in the balance sheet as deferred income liabilities, and, correspondingly, either as accounts receivable or, upon the fulfillment of the performance, into the bank account.

Other operating income

Other operating income includes income that is not related to the Group core business. Government grants are recorded in other operating income, except when they are related to investments, in which case they are deducted from the acquisition cost of the asset.

Research and development expenditure

Research costs are expensed as incurred. Expenses related to the introduction of new technology, or the development of a new product are capitalized and amortized over the useful life of 4 years. When determining the duration of useful economic life, the technology's eventual obsolescence and the product's typical life cycle are considered. Amortization begins when the product becomes commercially viable. Maintenance costs and minor improvements to existing products are expensed. Grants received for product development are recognized in the income statement for the periods in which the corresponding expenses are incurred.

Pension plans

The Group's pension scheme is a defined contribution plan managed by a pension insurance company. The expenses are recognized in the comprehensive income statement in the financial period that the contribution relates to. The Group does not have a legal or constructive liability to pay additional contributions in case of non-performance by the pension insurance company.

Share-based payments

The Group has adopted an option plan for key persons as of beginning of the year 2019 and expanded it with new plans in 2022, 2023 and 2024. In the Group incentive plan payments are made in the form of equity instruments. The benefits granted under the plans are recognized at fair value on the date on which they were granted and entered as costs evenly throughout the period during which they were earned. The effect of the plans on profit or loss is presented under the costs of employee benefits.

The cost determined on the date on which the options were granted is based on the Group estimate of the number of options for which rights are presumed to arise at the end of the incentive earning period. The Group updates the presumption of the final number of options on the final day of every reporting period.

Changes in estimates are treated through profit or loss.

The fair value of the option plan is defined based on the Black-Scholes pricing model. Terms that are not market based, such as profitability and specific growth targets, are not taken into consideration when determining the fair value of options. Instead, they affect the estimate of the final number of options. When option rights are exercised, the assets obtained from share subscriptions are entered into the invested unrestricted equity fund in accordance with the terms of the plan.

Operating profit

IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements" does not define the concept of operating profit. The Group uses the following definition of operating profit: operating profit is the sum of net sales and other operating income, less the cost of materials and services, expenses for employee benefits, other operating expenses, as well as depreciation, amortization and impairment losses of tangible and intangible assets. Exchange rate differences arising from working capital items are included in operating profit, whereas exchange rate differences arising from financial assets and liabilities are included in financial income and expenses.

Impairment

At each annual closing, the Group reviews asset items for any indication of impairment losses. If there are such indications, the amount recoverable from the said asset item is assessed. The recoverable amount of tangible and intangible assets is the higher of the asset item's fair value less the cost arising from disposal and its value in use. The recoverable amount of financial assets is either the fair value or the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the

original effective interest rate. An impairment loss is recognized in the comprehensive income statement when the carrying amount is greater than the recoverable amount.

Goodwill is not amortized but its recoverable amount is estimated annually or more frequently if circumstances indicate that the value may be impaired. Such an estimate is prepared at least at each annual closing. For such purposes, goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units. An impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated comprehensive income statement, if the impairment test shows that the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its recoverable amount. In this case the goodwill is recorded at its recoverable amount. After the initial recognition, goodwill is valued at original acquisition cost, less impairment losses recognized. Impairment losses on goodwill cannot be reversed.

Income taxes

The tax expense in the comprehensive income statement consists of tax based on taxable income for the financial year and deferred tax. Tax based on taxable income for the financial year is calculated on the basis of taxable income and the tax rate valid in each country. Income taxes are charged to income, except when they are related to items recorded in equity or other items in comprehensive income, in which case the tax expense is adjusted to such items.

Deferred taxes are calculated based on temporary differences between the book value and tax value of an asset or liability item. Deferred taxes are calculated at tax rates enacted by the balance sheet date.

A deferred tax asset is recognized in the amount that it is probable, in accordance with IAS 12, that future taxable income will be generated against which the

temporary difference can be utilized. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized in the balance sheet in full.

Intangible assets

Goodwill arising from business acquisitions represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition, the amount of non-controlling interests, and previously owned equity interests, over the fair value of the net assets of the acquired company. Goodwill is valued at the original acquisition cost minus impairment losses.

Other intangible assets include, for example, patents. They are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful life, which is 2 – 5 years.

Tangible assets

The balance sheet values of tangible assets are based on original acquisition cost minus accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method and is based on the estimated useful life of the asset.

The Group didn't capitalize any borrowing costs in 2024 and 2023.

Useful lifetimes of tangible assets:

Machinery and equipment 3 – 7 years

IT machinery and equipment 2 – 5 years

Lease agreements

The Group has adopted the IFRS 16 standard on leases. According to the standard, a contract is or contains a lease if the Group has a right to control the use of an identified asset for a certain period of time in exchange for consideration. When determining the non-cancellable period, the Group assesses the probability

of exercising extension and termination options by considering all relevant facts and circumstances.

Lease payments are divided into liabilities and financial expenses. Financial expenses are recognized in the income statement for the lease period. The right-of-use asset is depreciated using the straight-line method over the asset's useful life or lease term, if shorter than useful life. Lease liabilities are discounted at the average loan interest rate of the year.

When future lease payments are revised due to changes in an index rate or the terms of the lease, the right-of-use asset and the corresponding lease liability are revalued to reflect these changes.

The group applies a practical expedient, under which the company does not recognize lease agreements with a lease term of up to 12 months at the commencement date (short-term lease) on the balance sheet. Instead, the company recognizes the lease payments related to short-term leases as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Group primarily leases premises for office and warehouse use. Lease agreements are typically made either as fixed-term contracts or indefinite-term contracts.

Financial assets and liabilities

The Group's financial assets are classified into the following measurement categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets at amortized cost. The classification of financial assets is based on the purpose of the acquisition (business model for managing the asset) that is determined upon initial recognition. Transaction costs are included in the original carrying amount of a financial asset when the item is not measured at fair value through profit or loss. Purchases and sales of financial assets are recorded on the trade date. Items recognized at amortized cost comprise trade receivables.

Financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value minus the transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial liability. Subsequently financial liabilities, except for derivative liabilities, are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Financial liabilities may include both non-current and current liabilities and they can be interest-bearing or non-interest-bearing.

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value are presented in accordance with the hierarchy levels based on fair value measurement. Levels 1, 2 and 3 are based on the source of information used in the measurement. On level 1, fair values are based on public quotes. On level 2, fair values are based on quoted market rates and prices, discounted cash flows, and valuation models (options). For assets and liabilities classified on level 3, there is no reliable market information source, and therefore, the fair values of these instruments are not based on market information.

To measure expected credit losses of trade receivables from customers, the Group uses a simplified approach. According to the approach the loss allowance is measured based on an allowance matrix and recognized at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses. Expected credit losses are measured based on historical information on previous credit losses, and also the available information on future economic conditions is included in the model.

Derivative contracts

Derivative contracts are initially recognized at fair value on the date on which the Group becomes party to the contract and are subsequently measured at fair value. The Group has no derivative contracts in 2023 and 2024.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and cash equivalents which are highly liquid and have a maturity of no more than three months from the date of acquisition.

Treasury shares

The repurchase of our own shares as well as the related direct costs are recorded as deductions in equity.

Provisions

A provision is recognized when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of an action, the outflow of resources required to settle the obligation is probable, and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made.

A restructuring provision is recognized when a detailed and appropriate plan has been prepared and the company has begun to implement the plan or has announced that it will do so. Restructuring provisions are based on the management's best estimate of the expenses to be incurred, e.g., from employee termination payments.

A provision for a loss-making agreement is recognized when unavoidable expenditure required to fulfill the obligations exceeds the benefits obtainable from the agreement.

Accounting principles that require management consideration, and essential factors of uncertainty related to management estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS standards requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet, as well as the amounts of income and expenses for the reporting period and future periods. In addition, professional judgment is required in applying the accounting principles used in the preparation of the financial statements. Since the estimates and assumptions related to the determination of the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities are based on management's views at the date of the financial statements, expected outcomes, and other assumptions that were available when preparing these consolidated financial statements and are considered appropriate in the circumstances. Estimates involve risks and uncertainties, and actual outcomes may differ from the estimates and assumptions made.

In estimates requiring management judgment, the management has taken into account general uncertainties such as geopolitical tensions, inflation, and uncertainties affecting the overall economic development in the valuation. Uncertainties may affect revenue development, the discount rate used, and the evolution of the company's cost structure. Additionally, uncertainties may impact the company's customers' payment behavior, as well as potential misjudgments in the capitalization of research and development expenses resulting from technology choices.

Estimates are reviewed if there are changes in circumstances or if new information or experience is obtained. Since estimates inherently involve various

degrees of uncertainty, the actual outcome may differ from the estimated, leading to adjustments in the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities.

Capitalized product development expenses were EUR 341 thousand (2023: EUR 2,181 thousand). Unfinished product development projects EUR 26 thousand (2023: EUR 36 thousand), which have not yet commercialized and respectively started depreciations, were recognized in the balance sheet at the end of the financial year. Capitalized product development expenses are tested for impairment at the end of each financial year or at any event if there is indication of impairment on any asset.

The capitalized product development expenses has been performed for impairment test at December 31, 2024, based on which the amount to be generated from the cash-generating unit is determined based on value-in-use calculations.

The impairment test calculations are prepared following the discounted cash flow method using the management approved estimates driven from budget for the following year and subsequent development derived from the strategic plans. The terminal year value has been defined based on the long-term strategic plans taking average cash flows of the period. Cash flows beyond the 5-year period are calculated using the terminal value method. The terminal growth rate of 2.0% percent (1.0%) used in projections is based on management's assessment on conservative long-term growth. Key driver for the valuation is the revenue growth based on the Group's performance and future strategic growth plans, market position as well as the potential in key markets. The applied discount rate is the weighted average pre-tax cost of capital (WACC). The components of the WACC are risk-free rate, market risk premium, company specific factor, and industry specific beta, cost of debt and debt/equity ratio. The WACC of 10.24% percent (11.36%) has been used in the calculations. As a result of the impairment test, no impairment loss for the CGU was recognized for the financial period end December 31,2024. Based on testing performed in 2024, no need was found for recognizing impairment losses: a clear margin was left for each tested unit.

Accounting estimates and management's judgements

The management uses significant estimates and judgement when determining whether there are indications of impairment of R&D assets. Management judgement has also been used when defining the amount of cash generating units and taken into account software business area and related consulting recoverable amounts. The cash flow projections are based on budgets and financial estimates approved by management covering a 5-year period. Cash flow forecasts are based on QPR's existing business structure, actual results and the management's best estimates on future sales, cost and EBITDA development, general market conditions, growth potential on the market as well as economical uncertainties. Management has considered in the estimates the impact of decided structural changes in all business areas to improve performance. Management tests the impacts of changes in significant estimates used in forecasts by sensitivity analyses. According to Group level sensitivity analyses for R&D assets, there will be need for write-downs, if the growth rate of net sales decreases of expected average growth rate by 38 per sentage, regardless of possible cost savings. Expected changes of discount rate do not have impact to the impairment testing results.

QPR's goodwill arises from the acquisition of Nobultec Ltd in 2011 and it has been allocated to the group software business (previously to the Process Mining business unit).

QPR has made goodwill impairment test for the reporting period at 31.12.2024. The recoverable amount from the cash generating unit is determined based on value in-use calculations. The calculations are prepared following the discounted cash flow method using the management approved estimates driven from budget for the following year and subsequent development derived from the strategic plans. Terminal year value has been defined based on the long-term strategic plans. Cash flows beyond the 5-year period are calculated using the terminal value method. The terminal growth rate of 2.0% percent (1.0%) used in projections is based on management's assessment on conservative long-term growth. Key driver for the valuation is the revenue growth based on the software business performance and future strategic growth plans, market position as well as the potential in key markets. The applied discount rate is the weighted average pre-tax cost of capital (WACC). The components of the WACC are risk-free rate, market risk premium, company specific factor, and industry specific beta, cost of debt and debt/equity ratio. The WACC of 10.24% percent (11.36%) has been used in the calculations. As a result of the impairment test, no impairment loss for the CGU was recognized for the financial period ended December 31, 2024. When assessing the recoverable amounts of cash generating unit, management believes that no reasonably possible change in any of the key variables used would lead to a situation where the recoverable amount of the unit would fall below their carrying amount. Considering that, QPR does not present any sensitivity analyses regarding impairment test.

Accounting estimates and management's judgements

The management uses significant estimates and judgement when determining whether there are indications of impairment of goodwill. Management judgement has also been used when defining the amount of cash generating units and considered Process Mining software business area and related consulting recoverable cash flows, as well as recoverable cash flows from common functions. The cash flow projections are based on budgets and financial estimates approved by management covering a 5-year period. Cash flow forecasts are based on QPR's existing business structure, actual results and the management's best estimates on future Net Sales, cost development, general market conditions and growth potential on the market as well as economic uncertainties. Management has considered decided structural changes impacting to all business areas for improving performance as well as realized last quarter growth drivers. Management tests the impacts of changes in significant estimates used in forecasts by sensitivity analyses.

17. DEFERRED TAX ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Deferred tax assets, based on tax-loss carryforwards, have changed as follows:

(EUR 1,000) | |

| Dec 31 | 325 | 273 |

During the financial year, the Group was able to utilize the unused tax losses of its Finnish companies amounting to EUR 327 thousand in the corporate taxation of these companies.

A deferred tax asset of EUR 325 thousand (2023:273 thousand) has been recognized in the balance sheet for confirmed and estimated unused losses of the Group's Finnish Companies. These tax assets companies will most likely be able to utilize before the end of the utilization period.

Unbooked deferred tax assets for the loss in 2023 amount to EUR 216 thousand, for 2022 amounted to EUR 591 thousand and for year 2021 amounted to EUR 119 thousand. The total of unbooked deferred tax assets is EUR 926 thousand. Recognized and unrecognized deferred tax assets are EUR 1,250 thousand.

As of the Financial Statement date December 31, 2024, QPR has estimated if it is probable that company can utilize the deferred tax assets in future. The evaluation was mainly based on previous results of financial years. The conclusion drawn based on the evaluation is based on emphasizing objective unfavorable evidence compared to more subjective favorable evidence. The primary factors in this assessment are used more objectively include realized long-term financial performance compared to inherently more subjective expectations of future financial performance in Finland. QPR continues to assess the utilization of deferred tax assets, especially monitoring realized profits, and may reclassify the deferred tax asset related to Finland back to the balance sheet when sufficient tax profitability is achieved. In Finland, deferred tax assets can be offset against profits for the next ten tax years from 2027 to 2033, and those can be utilized against future tax liabilities in Finland.

28. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The International business operations of QPR Group are exposed to risks typical in normal international transactions. Financial risk management aims to secure sufficient financing cost-effectively and to monitor, and when necessary, to mitigate the materializing risks. Risk management is a centralized responsibility of the Group's financing function and the CEO. The general risk management policies are approved by the QPR Software Plc Board of Directors. The Board is also responsible for supervising the adequacy, appropriateness, and effectiveness of the Group's risk management

Foreign exchange risk

The main sales currency for the Group is Euro and most purchases are made in Euros.

The majority of trade receivables are in Euros (EUR), 81% (79). During the financial year, the most significant invoicing currencies after EUR were the U.S. Dollar (USD) and the Japanese yen (JPY). If the value of USD and JPY against EUR were to decrease by 10%, and the share of currencies were to remain on the same level, the value of trade receivables would decrease by EUR 22 thousand, equalling 0.3% of the total value of all trade receivables. Correspondingly, if the value of all non-EUR invoicing currencies were to decrease by 10%, the value of trade receivables would decrease by EUR 29 thousand. A breakdown of trade receivables by currency is presented in Note 18.

In accordance with the foreign exchange risk policy approved by the Board of Directors, the Company may engage in foreign currency hedging. The purpose of currency hedging is to reduce the uncertainty brought by exchange rates and to minimize the adverse impact of exchange rate changes to the Group's cash flow, financial results, and equity. Management regularly reviews the Company's foreign exchange risks, taking into account the hedging costs. At the end of 2024 and 2023, the Company did not have any hedging instruments.

Interest rate risk

The impact of interest rate changes on the Group result is insignificant and the Group did not take any hedging measures during the financial year. According to the financing agreement made on January 24th, 2024, the interest rate for the 0.5 million EUR long term and 0.5 million EUR short term loans is tied to 12 months Euribor.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is defined as financial distress or extraordinarily high financing costs due to the shortage of liquid funds in a situation where business conditions unexpectedly deteriorate and require financing.

The purpose of liquidity risk management is to maintain sufficient liquidity and to ensure that funds are continuously available to finance business operations quickly enough. QPR maintains sufficient liquidity through efficient cash management and deposits. The Parent company has a loan amount of 1.0 million, bind under covenants, measured against EBITDA and own equity ratio. EBITDA based performance measure is tested biannually and own equity ratio annually in the end of year. The credit limit will be repaid in instalments of 500 thousand on January 31, 2025, and January 31,2026.

Operative credit risk

The Group's international business operations are by their nature exposed to reasonable credit risk related to individual partners. However, the Group's customer base and reseller network is broad and spread over several market areas. Thus, the Group's trade receivables are collected from a large number of resellers and customers in several market areas, and according to management's estimate there are no concentrations of reseller, customer, or geographical risks. In addition, the continuous and active monitoring of receivables and credit limits aim to mitigate the Group's credit risks. The Group's maximum credit risk corresponds to the book value of trade receivables. Additional information on the Group's trade receivables is presented in Note 18.

The company has not recognized deferred tax assets in 2024. 2023 and 2022, Unrecognized deferred tax assets in the end 2024 were EU 1,088,686.

As of the Financial Statement date December 31, 2024, QPR has estimated if it is probable that the company can utilize the deferred tax assets in future. The evaluation was mainly based on previous results of the financial years. The conclusion drawn based on the evaluation is based on emphasizing objective unfavorable evidence compared to more subjective favorable evidence. The primary factors in this assessment are used more objectively include realized long-term financial performance compared to inherently more subjective expectations of future financial performance in Finland. QPR continues to assess the utilization of deferred tax assets, especially monitoring realized profits, and may reclassify the deferred tax asset related to Finland back to the balance sheet when sufficient tax profitability is achieved. In Finland, deferred tax assets can be offset against profits for the next ten tax years from 2028 to 2033, and those can be utilized against future tax liabilities in Finland

Auditor's Report

103

To the Annual General Meeting of QPR Software Plc

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of QPR Software Plc (business identity code 0832693-7) for the year ended 31 December 2024. The financial statements comprise the consolidated balance sheet, comprehensive income statement, statement of changes in equity, cash flow statement and notes, including material accounting policy information, as well as the parent company's balance sheet, in-come statement, cash flow statement and notes.

In our opinion

the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the group's financial position, financial performance and cash flows in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU
the financial statements give a true and fair view of the parent company's financial performance and financial position in accordance with the laws and regulations governing the preparation of financial statements in Finland and comply with statutory requirements.

Our opinion is consistent with the additional report 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 the 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 9 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.

Materiality

The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. The materiality is determined based on our professional judgement and is used to determine the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of identified misstatements on the financial statements as a whole. The level of materiality we set is based on our assessment of the magnitude of misstatements that, individually or in aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have influence on the economic decisions of the users of the financial statements. We have also taken into account misstatements and/or possible misstatements that in our opinion are material for qualitative reasons for the users of the financial statements.

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. The significant risks of material misstatement referred to in the EU Regulation No 537/2014 point (c) of Article 10(2) are included in the description of key audit matters below.

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.

THE KEY AUDIT MATTER

HOW THE MATTER WAS ADDRESSED IN THE AUDIT

Group's financing – Refer to consolidated cash flow statement, accounting principles for the consolidated financial statements and notes 22, 23 and 28 to the consolidated financial statements

— The Group's and the parent company's operations have been loss-making in recent years, which has weakened the company's financial status. The Group's loss for the financial year 2024 EUR 0.1 million, decreased by EUR 0.8 million compared to the comparison period.

— Cash flow from operating activities was positive EUR 0.8 million and remained at the level of the comparison year 2023. At 31 December 2024, the company had borrowings under the financing agreement amounting to EUR 1.0 million, of which EUR 0.5 million was current. At the end of the financial year, the Group had an unused credit limit totaling EUR 0.5 mil-lion.

— The financing agreement includes covenants based on the company's EBITDA and equity ratio. The covenants were fulfilled in accordance with the financing agreement at the reporting date 31 December 2024.

— The development of the company's business, profitability and financial status is one of the key areas that our audit is focused on.

Our audit procedures included, among others:

— To assess the sufficiency of financing, we analysed the company's financial status as well as the business and cash flow estimates prepared by management.

— We considered the impact on the company's financial status of the fulfilment of the covenants in the financing agreement.

— As part of our year-end audit procedures, we assessed the accuracy of classification of financial liabilities and considered the adequacy and appropriateness of the dis-closures provided on the financial status in the consolidated financial statements.

104

105

aluation of capitalised product development costs and valuation of goodwill – Refer to accounting principles of the consolidated financial statements and notes 8, 9, 13 and 14 to the consolidated financial

— The Group companies develop software and consulting service products to be used by their customers. The development expenditures are capitalized to the extent that they meet the capitalization criteria set out in the relevant accounting standard (IAS 38) and are assessed to contribute future economic benefits. The assessment may change even in a rather short term, e.g. as a result of technical development.

— The total product development costs capitalized in the financial year ended amounted to EUR 0.3 million. The capitalized product development costs are amortized over four years on a straight-line basis. At the year-end 2024, the capitalized product development costs amounted to EUR 1.6 million. The capitalized product development costs represent 400 percent of the consolidated equity.

— Goodwill totalled EUR 0.4 million at the financial year-end 2024 and represented 89 percent of the consolidated equity.

— Goodwill and capitalized product development costs are tested at least annually for impairment.

— The preparation of the cash flow projections underlying the impairment tests requires management judgement in regard to e.g. sales growth, profitability, terminal growth and discount rates.

— Due to the significant carrying amounts and management judgment involved in determining recoverable amounts and useful life, the valuation of capitalized product development costs and goodwill is one of the key areas that our audit is focused on.

Our audit procedures included, among others:

— We assessed the appropriateness of the capitalization process and the amortization periods of development expenditures and considered whether the development costs capitalized during the year had met the capitalization criteria under the relevant accounting standard.

— We assessed the appropriateness of the impairment test carried out for the good-will in the consolidated financial statements.

— Our audit procedures on the impairment testing included, among others, the following: We evaluated the cash flow estimates for future financial periods prepared by management and the key assumptions used in the impairment tests, such as sales growth, profitability and terminal growth.

— Furthermore, we considered the adequacy and appropriateness of the Group's notes in respect of goodwill, testing calculations and intangible assets.

Revenue recognition and valuation of trade receivables – Refer to accounting principles for the consolidated financial statements and notes 2, 3 and 18 to the consolidated financial statements

— The consolidated net sales consist of software license sales, software mainte-nance services, cloud (SaaS) services and consulting services. Revenue is recog-nized when (or as) the control of the ser-vice is transferred to the customer, which may be over time or at a point in time.

— Application of revenue recognition principles requires management judgement es-pecially in identifying separate performance obligations, determining stand-alone selling price as well as in analysing terms and conditions of the contract to determine the appropriate timing to recog-nize revenue.

— The revenue recognition principles and their consistent application have a signifi-cant impact on the net sales and profita-bility as reported by QPR Software Plc. Therefore, revenue recognition is one of the key areas that our audit is focused on.

— Trade receivables were in total EUR 2.0 million on 31 December 2024, representing a significant part of the balance sheet. Regardless the fact that there is no significant credit losses incurred in the past, there may be valuation risk associated with trade receivables. Due to the signifi-cance of the carrying amount of the trade receivables, the valuation and monitoring of trade receivables is one of the key are-as that our audit is focused on.

Our audit procedures included, among others:

— We evaluated the revenue recognition principles by reference to applicable financial reporting standards and contract terms.

— Our audit procedures included testing of key controls designed to ensure the completeness and accuracy of net sales.

— We completed detailed audit procedures over revenue contracts that we selected based on size, timing and complexity. In respect of the selected contracts, we assessed the identification of performance obligations, tested the accuracy of invoicing and compared revenue transactions recorded with contractual terms and traced them to supporting evidence of delivery.

— We evaluated the monitoring routines for trade receivables and the effectiveness of the key internal controls. We also analyzed the trade receivables and followed up the payments received after year-end 20243 in respect of selected trade receivables.

— In addition, we assessed the adequacy and accuracy of disclosures related to revenue recognition and trade receivables in the consolidated financial statements.

107

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 IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU, and of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the laws and regulations governing the preparation of financial statements in Finland and comply with stat-utory requirements. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are also responsible for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for assessing the parent company's and the group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting. The financial statements are prepared using the going concern basis of accounting unless there is an intention to liquidate the parent company or the group or cease operations, or there is no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with good auditing practice will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of 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.
sPlan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business units within the group as a basis for forming an opinion on the group financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and review of the audit work performed for purposes of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and 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.

Other Reporting Requirements

Information on our audit engagement

We were first appointed as auditors by the Annual General Meeting 2006, and our appointment represents a total period of uninterrupted engagement of 19 years.

Other Information

The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the report of the Board of Directors and the information included in the Annual Report, but does not include the financial statements or our auditor's report thereon. We have obtained the report of the Board of Directors prior to the date of this auditor's report, and the Annual Report is expected to be made available to us after that date. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. With respect to the report of the Board of Directors, our responsibility also includes considering whether the report of the Board of Directors has been prepared in compliance with the applicable provisions.

In our opinion, the information in the report of the Board of Directors is consistent with the information in the financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors has been prepared in compliance with the applicable provisions.

If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor's report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
