This Half-Yearly Report is being published in terms of the Chapter 5 of the Malta Financial Services Authority Capital Markets Rules and the Prevention of Financial Markets Abuse Act, 2005 (Chapter 476 of the laws of oupted manuse hassed interim consolidated financial included in this report has been extracted from the Group's unaudited financial information for the period ending 30 June 2025. In accordance with the terms of Capital Markets rule 5.75.5, the condensed interim financial statements have been reviewed in accordance with the requirements of ISRE 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the entity".
The Company is a holding company of a Group which is a B2B provider, primarily involved in high quality software, technology and platform services, developing and assisting companies with specialist competences by providing secure and tailormade, yet user friendly solutions, for the delivery of services within the online sphere.
As at 30 June 2025, the Group had generated a profit before tax of €2,873,965. Furthermore, as at that date the Group had a positive working capital of €3,508,895 (2024: €5,344,579).
The directors have prepared projections covering from the end of the reporting period until the end of 2025. As per those projections, the Group is expected to continuously generate positive cash inflows from operations.
More specifically, the Group had managed to secure a number of contracts generating positive cashflows and predictable profitability. The Group's main operating subsidiary secured multiple contracts from a company not forming part of the Group. These relationships have been established and upheld in accordance with industry standards and regulations and are the main source of revenue for the Group. In addition to the above, the company entered into a technological services agreement with a third party, renewable annually.
Following the investment in the platform which has been ongoing for the past years, the Directors consider the tool to have been developed to a level that meets the requirements of the market. The Group's directors are also considering other business opportunities for generating income, with negotiations ongoing with a number of potential clients. Key assumptions in projections prepared by management are around the (i) namist of pew customers and renewal of existing contracts, (ii) the rates charged to customers (relevant for revenue streams not yet contracted) and (iii) the level of expenses to support the operations.
In alignment with the financial statements published for the year ended 2024 and the results for H1 of 2025, the Company's directors anticipate continued growth in the Group's profitability, in line with recent trends.
Based on the foregoing, the directors are of the view that the service contracts in place held by one of the operating components together with the above funding should continue to meet the level of cash required to enable the Group to honour the various financial commitments, fund own over tions and ontinue to operate as a going concern. The directors therefore believe that it continues to be appropriate to adont the going concern basis underlying the basis of preparation of the financial statements.
The Board has resolved to declare an interim dividend in the amount of NOK3 per share, amounting to NOK 61,656,825. This equates to approximately €5,158,167.

River Tech p.l.c. (the "Company") is a public liability company domiciled and incorporated in Malta.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements ("interim financial statements") as at and for the six-month period ended 30 June 2025 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group"). The Group is primarily involved in acquiring, building and consolidating high quality software, technology and platform services, developing and assisting companies with specialist competences by providing secure and tailormade, yet user friendly solutions, for the delivery of services within the online sphere.
These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and should be read in conjunction with the Group's last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2024 ("last annual financial statements"). They do not include all the information required for a complete set of IFRS financial statements. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group's financial position and performance of the Group since the Group's last annual financial statements.
The condensed interim financial statements have been reviewed in accordance with the requirements of ISRE 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the entity".
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue by the Company's board of directors on 28 August 2025.
The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis and on the going concern basis, as explained below:
As at 30 June 2025, the Group had generated a profit before tax of €2,873,965. Furthermore, as at that date the Group had a positive working capital of €3,508,895 (2024: €6,613,576).
The directors have prepared projections covering from the end of the reporting period until the end of 2025. As per those projections, the Group is expected to continuously generate positive cash inflows from operations.
More specifically, the Group had managed to secure a number of contracts generating positive cashflows and predictablity. The Group's main operating subsidiary secured multiple contracts from a company not forming part of the Group. These relationships have been established and upheld in accordance with industry standards and regulations and are the main source of revenue for the Group. In addition to the company entered into a technological services agreement with a third party, renewable annually.
In addition, the Group's directors are also considering other business opportunities for generating income, with negotiations ongoing with a number of potential clients. Key assumptions in those projections are around the (i) acquisition of new customers and renewal of existing contracts, (ii) the rates charged to customers (relevant for revenue streams not yet contracted) and (iii) the level of expenses to support the operations. The directors have prepared projections that indicate that the Group should continue to generate profits from its operations during 2025.
In alignment with the financial statements published for the year ended 2024 and the results for H1 of 2025, the Company's directors anticipate continued growth in the Group's profitability, as previously reported.
Based on the foregoing, the directors are of the view that the service contracts in place held by one of the operating components together with the above funding should continue to meet the level of cash required to enable the Group to honour their various financial commitments, fund their own operations and continue to operate as a going concern. The directors therefore believe that it continues to be appropriate to adopt the going concern basis underlying the basis of preparation of the financial statements.
The accounting policies applied are consistent with those of the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024, as described in those annual financial statements.
ln preparing these interim financial statements, management has made judgements and estimates that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The significant iudgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those described in the Company's last annual financial statements.
When measuring the fair value of an asset or liability, the Group uses market observable data as far as possible. All such information used to measure fair value, together with any other significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments, and third party information, if any, are reviewed by the Board of Directors, in order to ensure that these valuations meet the requirements of IFRS, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which the valuations should be classified.
Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation technique as follows:
If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability might be categorised in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.
The Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which such change has occurred.
Key judgements and assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty which materially impairment assessment at the reporting date, include the projection of revenue in the coming years, and the execution risk associated with the attainment of the projected capabilities by the Group. The directors are satisfied that the judgements made are appropriate to the circumstances but, as with all projections relating to future events, there is a degree of uncertainty inherent in the figures and, it is possible, based on existing knowledge, that actual results may differ from assumptions. Sustained variations from expectation would have a material impact on the impairment assessment, and hence, the carrying amount at which intangible assets are stated on the statement of financial position at 30 June 2025. The directors believe that the amount of cash flows that the Group will continue to generate will be sufficient to support the carrying amount of the intangible assets.
The accounting policies applied in these interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the Group's consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2024. A number of new amendments are effective from 1 January 2025 but they do not have a material effect on the Group's condensed interim financial statements.
Operating segments are based on the reports reviewed by the Group which are in turn forwarded for review to the Board of Directors of the Company.
After restructuring of the Group in 2019, the Board of Directors considers the Group to be made up of one segment, that is provisioning of software support services and also engaging in other consultancy services. Reporting to the board of directors, considered to be the Chief Operating Decision Makers, is based on one segment. All the Group's revenue and expenses are generated in Malta and revenue is mainly earned from other companies forming part of the Group.
The Group's operations and main revenue streams comprise software support services such as licensing of a remote gaming software, IT support and infrastructure support services and management and consultancy services.
Income tax expense is recognised at an amount determined by multiplying the profit before tax for the interim reporting period by management's best estimate of the weighted-average annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year, adjusted for the tax effect of certain items recognised in full in the interim period. As such, the effective tax rate in the interim financial statements may differ from management's estimate of the effective tax rate for the annual financial statements.
The Group's tax credit within the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income reflects alignment for over-provisions and under-provisions in prior years related to both current tax and deferred tax mainly as a result of tax fiscal consolidation and accelerated utilisation of tax deductibility of intangible assets.
The calculation of basic EPS has been based on the following profit attributable to ordinary shareholders and weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding.

The Group has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:
The risks arising from the financial instruments of the Group as at the date of these condensed interim financial statements are the same as those disclosed in the last annual financial statements in view of the fact that there are no significant movements in tinancial instruments for the period ended 30 June 2025.
The sub-subsidiary offering technology services is the sole cash flow generating component within the Group. This entity is entrusted with developing technological structures and servicing the said structures. The Group operates in a rapidly evolving industry with companies experiencing IT disruptions such as cyber-attacks, theft and fraud.
The Group provides services that can be subject to the introduction of new or updates to regulatory environments. Revenue growth has required the addition of resources. Recruitment focuses on specific skill sets and the supply of such resources are short in supply both locally and overseas.
There were no changes in the related party relationships during the interim period.

To the Board of Directors of River Tech p.l.c
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position of River Tech p.l.c. and its subsidiaries (the "Group") as at 30 June 2025 and the related condensed consolidated interim statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the six-month period then ended and explanatory notes.The Directors are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this condensed consolidated interim financial information in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim financial reporting". Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this condensed consolidated interim financial information based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, 'Review of interim financial information performed by the independent auditor of the entity'. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim financial reporting".
This report, including the conclusion, has been prepared for and only for the Group and for no other purpose. We do not, in producing this report, accept or assume responsibility for any other purpose or to any other person to whom this report is shown or into whose hands it may come save where expressly agreed by our prior consent in writing.
