ROBIT IN BRIEF COMPANY BUSINESS SUSTAINABILITY INVESTORS THE REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Market Overview
Drilling consumables manufactured and supplied by Robit are used in mining, construction, underground construction and well drilling.
In our target markets, overall demand was positive in 2019, although regional differences were perceptible. In the mining industry, demand was stable and growth-driven. The construction industry and underground construction are local and regional businesses and therefore dependent on project financing. Globally, the project portfolio was at the good level of previous years. The number of projects in the project portfolio was sufficient to meet the needs of Robit's growth targets. The well drilling market continued to be active throughout the year. Project activity in medium-length (1-2 km) geothermal wells was launched during the year.
Robit's market share globally was over 4%. The low market share and the steady demand typical for consumables ensure good opportunities for Robit to grow by gaining market share from other operators in the industry. In addition, we expect the overall market to grow beyond economic cycles by 3-5% per year.
AMERICAS
The Americas accounted for 17.9% (15.7%) of net sales in 2019. Net sales grew by 19.8% compared with the previous year. The market on both continents of the Americas region was stable in the review period. Restructuring related to the development of the North American distribution network slowed sales in the first half of the year. In South America, demand remained at a good level due to an increase in mining operations and the number of tunnel projects.
Overall, growth in both the DTH and Top Hammer product segments was fairly steady, but there were significant differences between countries. Demand was strong, particularly in Mexico and Peru, but the Argentinian and Brazilian markets were challenging.
The North American dealership network was strengthened by, among other things, reorganizing the Canadian distributor network as well as measures to develop the US dealership network. During 2019, we also strengthened our own sales by rationalizing our customer responsibilities and increasing sales resources in Latin America. During the year, the company moved to new premises in Texas. The facilities will also serve as a storage center for North America.
The outlook is expected to remain good in both North and South America in 2020. In Latin America, fluctuations in demand will be greater.
EMEA
The EMEA region is clearly Robit's largest market area, accounting for 41.8% (38.6%) of total sales in 2019. Sales grew in Africa and the Middle East, in particular. Net sales grew by 13.4% compared with the previous year.
In the northern EMEA region, there was a clear pick-up in demand in the review period. Regionally, both the domestic and Norwegian markets developed most positively, particularly in piling products. Demand in Sweden remained at the level of previous years. Changes were made in Robit's distribution network, which were reflected in a slight slowdown in sales development. In the latter half of the year, Robit entered into an agreement with the Swedish company EuroDrilling Center AB on representing Robit's products in Sweden. As part of this agreement, Robit became a minority shareholder in the company.
Projects play a significant role in German demand, and in 2019 projects were postponed due to financing. The mining industry boosted demand in the southern EMEA region. Demand continued to grow strongly, particularly in South Africa as well as in Saudi Arabia and Spain, thanks to strong sales efforts. In Central Africa, such as Zambia's copper mining area, the market was challenging due to monetary policy and related end-customer liquidity. Investments in developing sales in the region continued. The company entered into several new dealership agreements in the southern EMEA region.
The development measures taken in the dealership network will activate sales in the region. Driven by the mining industry, demand is expected to continue at a good level in the southern EMEA region. 2020 began on a positive note also in the northern EMEA region, and the market is expected to provide good opportunities for growth.

CIS & EASTERN EUROPE
The CIS & Eastern Europe region accounted for 10.3% (7.7%) of Robit's sales in 2019. Net sales grew by 40.3% compared with the previous year. Net sales developed positively, and during the year Robit further strengthened its market share in both Top Hammer and DTH products in the region. The share accounted for by piling and casing products was particularly strong.
Sales were boosted by orders from large mining companies and by an increase in the number of piling projects. In the latter half of the year, Robit closed the largest single project deal in its history in Russia.
The dealership network in the region was developed by renewing the Russian distributor organization. During the year, sales and product training was also arranged for distributors and for our own sales network. The market outlook for the region in 2020 is bright, due to active demand in both the mining and construction sectors.
ASIA
Asia accounted for 12.1% (14.0%) of Robit's net sales in 2019. Net sales in the Asian market developed more slowly than expected in all product segments. Net sales declined by 9.6% compared with 2018.
The postponement to 2020 of several Hong Kong piling projects impacted the development of net sales in Asia. This was due to the volatile situation prevailing in Hong Kong. Investment delays in quarrying, tunneling and road construction projects in the Thailand and Indonesia markets as well as restructuring of the dealership organization in the Philippines also adversely affected net sales in Asia for 2019.
Robit has a solid foothold in Asia's Top Hammer business market. During the year, we invested heavily in developing the mining segment through several drilling tests and customer visits. Tunnel construction was strong, as the segment continued to grow in the Korean market. The same good volume level is expected to continue in 2020.
Demand for DTH products strengthened, particularly in the Philippines and other Asian markets, aided by active sales.
Strong sales efforts are expected to accelerate net sales growth in 2020 in both the Top Hammer and DTH customer segments, particularly in mining and construction projects.

AUSTRALASIA
Australasia accounted for 17.8% (24.0) of net sales in 2019. Demand in Australasia remained stable throughout the year. Net sales were 22.5% lower than in the previous year, however.
The transfer of DTH business production to Perth, Australia, during the year resulted in additional production activity. Increases in sales resources in the Australian sales organization in the first half of the year led to a pick-up in sales, and in the second half of the year net sales were 5.3% higher than in first half of the year.
DTH products continued to account for a significant proportion of sales. Sales in the Top Hammer segment developed positively towards the end of the year. In Australia, the need for mining automation is growing strongly. Robit, too, is investing in the development and testing of a diamond bit product range in order to meet this customer need.
The market potential in Australia is very significant in both Top Hammer and DTH products. Robit will continue to invest heavily in customer acquisition in the area and in growing the business.

ROBIT IN BRIEF COMPANY BUSINESS SUSTAINABILITY INVESTORS THE REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
CEO's Review
At the beginning of 2019, Robit made the decision to switch to publishing quarterly financial interim reports. With this change, we sought to increase transparency and financial information for all stakeholders.
2019 – a year of changes
2019 was a year of changes for Robit. We launched an efficiency program comprising four elements: developing the distributor network and the company's own sales, better management of working capital, more effective use of factory network capacity and resources, and ensuring the motivation and performance of personnel.
The efficiency program was implemented during 2019. Through the program, we improved management of trade receivables and our liquidity. In the third quarter, the reorganization of production in the Down the Hole (DTH) business increased the utilization rates of the factories manufacturing DTH products. Progress was made in developing the sales and distribution network during the year, but this work will continue in 2020.
The company's net sales increased by approximately 5% to EUR 86.5 million (82.7). Net sales grew primarily in the EMEA and CIS areas.
The company's result, as measured by EBITA, remained negative and was EUR -4.9 million (-9.7). Due to the efficiency program, the result improved by 4.8 million euros. The positive development was based mainly on improved cost control and better utilization of factory capacity.
Measures and expenses related to the reorganization of DTH production contributed to the negative result. These measures resulted in approximately EUR 1.1 million in personnel and machinery realization costs. In addition, an impairment loss on a right-of-use asset resulted in an expense of approximately EUR 0.2 million. The total cost of the reorganization, which affects comparability for 2019, was approximately EUR 1.3 million. Comparable EBITA was EUR -3.7 million (-8.4).
Due to positive earnings development and better management of working capital, the company's operating cash flow improved, particularly in the second half of the year, and was EUR 1.8 million in 2019. In accordance with a payment program, we repaid long-term loans amounting to approximately EUR 10 million. At the end of the year, our equity ratio was 47.4%, which provides the basis for the company's development on a growth track in line with its strategy.
The number of personnel decreased by 34 employees in 2019 and was 252 (286) at the end of the year. The decrease was mainly due to the reorganization of DTH production operations, in which production at the Halco Brighouse factory was relocated to two of the company's other plants.
Competitiveness through an extensive, high-quality product offering
Global mining was active in 2019 and we were able to strengthen our position in mining countries where Robit sells directly to end customers through its own sales companies. In project business, we strengthened our position particularly in the piling segment, where we won significant construction projects during the year.
Robit developed its product offering to meet the customer needs of the piling product segment and at the same time concentrated production at the company's UK factory. The mining industry is undergoing a major technology shift as customers move into automation, unattended operation and digitalization of mines. Robit responded to this change by developing a diamond bit product range that provides a solution for unattended drilling.
During 2019, we focused our product development efforts on further developing our product offering to meet the current needs of various application areas. The extensive, high-quality product offering reinforces the company's competitiveness as a global player.
Market areas developed unevenly
Robit's global net sales developed well during the year, but in all areas did not meet the long-term goals we have set.
We further strengthened our position in the Nordic countries, where sales continued to develop favorably. At the end of the year, we decided to become a shareholder in a Swedish dealership company. For Robit, Sweden is a domestic market, where we expect additional growth. In the EMEA area, sales growth in South Africa has been positive and sales are expected to develop favorably in the African mining industry. Net sales growth in the EMEA market area was good (+13%) and nearly in line with Robit's long-term growth target.
In the CIS area, in line with our strategy, we strengthened our position in the countries' mining sector and won new piling projects. The company's net sales in this market area grew strongly (+40%), and significantly exceeded long-term growth expectations.
In the Americas area, Robit increased its resources in Peru through growth, consolidating its position while developing its service capabilities in both mining and construction business. Net sales growth in the area was excellent (+20%) and was in line with Robit's growth target.
ROBIT IN BRIEF COMPANY BUSINESS SUSTAINABILITY INVESTORS THE REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In Australia, we implemented changes that enabled us to stabilize the area's net sales, but at a significantly lower level than the previous year. We strengthened the sales organization for the resource requirements of future sales. The development of this market area is not in line with Robit's growth expectations and we will invest strongly in developing this market to ensure that the company's expectations are met.
Sales development in the Asia area was disappointing. In Korea, sales remained at a good level, which is expected to continue in 2020. The area's other markets, including the Hong Kong piling market, did not meet the company's sales targets. We have already prepared corrective measures to improve sales in the area.
Reorganization of production
During the year, the capacity of the Korean factory increased as planned, and the investment's original volume targets were achieved. The growth in Korean production volume has been encouraging and volume is expected to continue to grow in accordance with plans made.
We relocated production at the Halco Brighouse factory to the Chesterfield and Perth factories, which improved the utilization rate of these two plants. This situation will enable DTH product manufacturing volumes to be increased, and for production at these plants to be further improved.
During the year, higher sales of Top Hammer products increased volume at the Lempäälä plant and facilitated an extension of product lines.
Sales skills – key expertise
The efficiency program completed during the year required flexibility from our personnel – a warm thank you is due to all Robit employees for implementing the change. During 2019, we organized a global strategy workshops for employees at all of the company's operating locations. This was aimed at clarifying and emphasizing our short- and long-term objectives. At the same time, we received valuable feedback for the development of the company.
Sales skills are Robit's key expertise – Robit is primarily a sales company. For our global sales organization, we organized Robit sales training to strengthen the company's sales focus. Sales training will continue in 2020 to ensure we adopt a consistent approach to selling consumables. Together with a partner, we also developed a management training program, which will be implemented in 2020.
At the beginning of 2019, weekly personnel pulse surveys were launched to measure the ongoing personnel experience. The survey has provided valuable feedback for company management.
Due to the efficiency measures implemented in 2019, the company's structure and well-targeted resources will facilitate the company's return to a growth track in line with its strategy. Our goal is to ensure the company's profitability by increasing sales and utilizing the current structure and resources.
Further development of sales, particularly through the dealership network, will be the focus of our operations in 2020. Controlled sales growth is our clear objective for 2020. At the same time, this will improve the utilization rate of the factories and the overall profitability of the company.

ROBIT IN BRIEF COMPANY BUSINESS SUSTAINABILITY INVESTORS THE REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Strategy
The basis of Robit's strategy has remained unchanged – we will pursue strong growth through internationalization and sales development. The company's competitiveness and success is based on a narrow business segment, i.e. drilling consumables.
We invest strongly in our know-how and operations in the global marketing and sales of drilling tools. Our clear long-term goal is to achieve the third largest market share in the global drilling tool business segment. The drilling tool market is approximately EUR 2 billion. Robit is currently among the top five operators in this market. The two largest operators, however, account for more than half of market volume.
In 2019, the key operational objective and task was to stabilize the company's financial position. This objective was achieved. The current situation gives us the opportunity to vigorously implement our basic strategy in the future.
Robit is above all a growth company. We aim for strong sales growth. At the same time, our goal is to ensure the profitability and cash flow that enable investments in the company's growth to be made. During 2019, sales developed positively. In order to accelerate this positive advance, the company also launched a sales development program, the concrete results of which are expected to be visible in 2020.
Robit's strategy is based on the company's values, which support its effective implementation.
Our values are:

We serve with speed

We drive change

We respect everyone
Global megatrends drive the company's strategy and growth. The two megatrends most significant for Robit are urbanization, which increases underground construction, as well as the depletion of mine ore bodies, which requires more tonnes of rock to be quarried relative to the amount of metal produced. This also means more drilling and demand for consumables.
The key market segments identified in Robit's strategy are mining, underground construction, quarrying and forepoling, and well drilling, particularly for geothermal applications. The company wants to strengthen its market position in these segments. Robit's strengths and competitiveness are formed by:
- Focusing on drilling consumables – the company is not active in the investment product segment
- The industry's largest product offering in drilling consumables
- High quality of products
- Customization based on customer needs
- production concept enables mass customization
- Global coverage and distribution network
- Competitive and dynamic pricing
Over the last two years, the company has refocused its own service network, reducing the number of its own service offices from 20 to 13. The company's strategy in the future will rely heavily on cooperation with dealerships.
Diversity of personnel is a key part of the company's strategy. Diversity drives the company's operations and a responsible personnel policy. Our goal is to leverage the company's global presence and multiculturalism as a resource and competitive asset.

Top Hammer Business

Competitiveness through product offering development
Top Hammer products are mainly used in mining, construction and quarrying. The Top Hammer business comprises rock drilling consumables as well as digital products and services for drilling operations. Our total offering in Top Hammer products is expanding continually in line with changing customer needs and the development of drilling technology. The 30-year journey of Robit's white drill bits is well-known around the world.
In 2019, demand for Top Hammer products remained at a good level, particularly in the mining industry. Sales developed positively in the mining sectors of South Africa, Russia and Latin America. An increasing number of underground construction projects also boosted demand for the segment's products, with net sales for the year totaling EUR 40.3 (36.6) million, i.e. growth of 10%.
Robit's Top Hammer offering was further developed during the year by expanding the diamond bit product range for deep hole drilling. Diamond bits facilitate longer and unattended drilling periods in production drilling. The uninterrupted process associated with drilling automation requires long durability from drill tools, which is provided by diamond bits. Drilling automation is currently one of the main areas of focus of the mining industry. Robit's diamond bits meet this customer need, and our products were well received in the market during the year.
The market climate for Top Hammer products was active in 2019, particularly in the mining industry. Based on market information, we developed our product offering to better correspond to demand and to promote the products' competitiveness. We also renewed sales support materials, for example by updating the comprehensiveness and ease of use of Top Hammer product brochures in both digital and printed versions. We strengthened the personnel resources of our technical team and we increased drill master services.
The Top Hammer business comprises rock drilling consumables and digital products and services.

ROBIT IN BRIEF COMPANY BUSINESS SUSTAINABILITY INVESTORS THE REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In South America, we launched a new kind of training event with our customers and dealerships to acquaint them with the drilling process, product features and product maintenance of Top Hammer products in worksite conditions. The focus of the training was on correct drilling methods. Similar training for customers and dealerships will also be arranged in selected market areas during 2020.
Added value through digital services
Product development of digital services continued, focusing on the consolidation and commercialization of technology. The usability and operating system of the Sense product range, used in drill hole measurement, were improved, particularly based on customer experience.
The main product of the Sense Systems product family is the S-Sense hole deviation measurement system, which is used in Top Hammer surface drilling to measure the deviation of the drill hole during drilling (measurement-while-drilling, MWD). The product is unique on the world market, as it integrates hole deviation measurement into the drilling process and blasting engineering.
A Sense test run with a significant European customer led to the development of a new type of drill bit and hollow bar product (Robit FF Tube). The hollow bar can be used as part of a standard Top Hammer drill line, and it brings benefits in terms of hole straightness, productivity and the overall useful life of drill line components. The hollow bar concept will be more widely launched in early 2020.
In addition, sales of the M Sense manual drill hole measurement system picked up, and an update was released during the year. Product ease-of-use has been improved, battery life has been extended, and standardization of M-Sense and S-Sense has been taken further. The updated version of the product has been well received in the market.
Overall, the results of test runs showed that Sense products, in combination with the hollow bar concept, will create new demand for the rest of the Top Hammer product offering. At the same time, this will facilitate a new earnings model.
Top Hammer outlook for 2020
The coming year 2020 seems promising for the Top Hammer business. We will continue our heavy investment in sales, with the aim of further increasing our market share. Our product offering is the most comprehensive in the industry and our products are high quality. From the perspectives of market know-how and availability, we have a package that provides an excellent foundation for growing market share. We seek to develop our products together with our customers to make sure they have access to the best technology in the industry. This helps them to achieve their own production and financial goals.

Efficiencies through business restructuring and production strategy renewal
Robit's Down the Hole (DTH) business accounts for 53.4% of the company's net sales. Our extensive product range covers all aspects of ground drilling. The most important customer segments are blast hole drilling in mining and quarrying, piling and anchoring in civil engineering and marine construction, and geothermal and water well drilling. DTH drilling consumables provide solutions to all of these customer segments and applications.
Through the efficiency program implemented during 2019, the company refined its DTH business production strategy. In connection with this, we decided in March to transfer manufacturing of DTH products at the Sherman factory in the USA to the companies' other plants and to discontinue production operations at Sherman. During the second half of the year, we announced the restructuring of the DTH business and the transfer of the manufacturing of Halco products from Brighouse (UK) to the company's production units in Chesterfield (UK) and Perth (Australia).
The reorganization further sharpened the company's Halco strategy under the parallel brand. The new structure improves capacity to respond more effectively to international competition, thanks to cost restructuring. Improved profitability and efficiency are also sought through the transfer of production. The cost savings from the measures taken during 2019 will be fully realized from the beginning of 2020.
During the year, within the DTH business we separated products designed for the construction industry and well drilling into their own offering. Geotechnical products particularly serve infrastructure and civil engineering projects such as piling and foundation work. The offering will also take into account the strong project-specific needs of this area of application.
The net sales of the DTH business in 2019 totaled EUR 46.2 (46.1) million, up 0.2%. Sales developed well, particularly in the EMEA, CIS and Eastern Europe regions. In Australia, net sales grew slowly in the first half of the year, but there was a turn to the better towards the end of the year.
In many cases, technical testing with customers related to the DTH product sales process takes a long time, which slows down the rapid development of sales.

Growth potential through new products
During the first half of the year, we developed for the well drilling segment a new DTH hammer as well as drill bits suitable for this.
During the year, the Robit DTH product range's largest piling bit, 1.4 meters in diameter, and largest rock drilling bit, 1.3 meters in diameter, were launched. The drill bits were designed for a major piling contract and are suitable for all demanding piling contract projects.
We also delivered during the year our largest DTH hammer, which in the future will enable the efficient drilling of larger holes. Demand for larger drilling tools is a permanent market trend and growth is expected to continue. Robit's large DTH hammers are manufactured at the company's factory in Chesterfield (UK).
Robit cooperated closely in product development and piloting with production and exploration drilling customers during the year, and test drillings took place, particularly in Australia.
During the year, in Russia Robit was involved in the largest construction project in the company's history, and work on this will continue in 2020. During the year, we have been a trusted partner for many of the industry's leading mining and construction companies.
Heavy investment in sales development continued
In 2019, Robit continued to invest in developing sales channels, and committed resources to integrating the DTH product portfolio more closely into the Robit's sales organization and distributor network. We entered into new distributor agreements, for example in North America, and arranged product training and joint site visits for distributors in all market areas. We also invested in sales support material by launching during the year a new, more comprehensive DTH product catalog.
The expansion of sales of the DTH offering into new markets will continue during 2020. A number of successful customer tests conducted in 2019 are expected to lead to delivery contracts. The extensive DTH product offering, focused on ground drilling consumables, will remain the cornerstone of Robit's value creation in the future, and we will carry out continuous development work toward this end.
We believe that Robit will have good opportunities for growth in all of the DTH product customer segments in 2020, particularly in the mining industry and well drilling.
Down the hole business comprises ground drilling DTH-consumables.

A Responsible Employer
Values guide our business
At the end of 2019, we published Robit's new, updated values, which are:

We serve with speed
We drive change
We respect everyone
With our new values, we aim to highlight issues that will be important for our success also in the future. We want to serve our customers, distributors and colleagues quickly, without compromising safety and quality. Effective, transparent communication is one of the cornerstones of fast service.
We seek to view changes positively and as opportunities for continuous development. The ability to make rapid changes is a competitive advantage for us relative to many other players in the industry.
We treat everyone – colleagues, customers, suppliers, distributors and the community around us – respectfully. Our guiding principle is to be a responsible employer for our diverse, skilled personnel and a reliable partner for all our stakeholders.
At the end of 2019, Robit had 252 (286) employees, of whom 53% (133) worked in white-collar positions and 47% (119) in production. 50% of the white-collar employees worked in sales, sales support and customer service tasks. 82% (86%) of employees are men and 18% (14%) are women. The proportion of women among the employees increased during the year. In all positions, Robit aims to provide the same opportunities for men and women.
The number of employees decreased during the year, to some extent due to the reorganization of the company's production. Production was relocated from Sherman (USA) and Brighouse (UK) to Robit's other factories.
Voluntary turnover of employees in 2019 was 7.5%.
Skilled personnel is our most important resource
Learning is an essential part of every employee's career and our skilled personnel are an important element in our competitiveness. To develop product expertise, employees are offered, among other things, eLearning programs. During the year, we arranged product training at several operating locations, both
for Robit's own personnel and for our distributors and end customers.
Our responsibility is guided by our Code of Conduct. The induction of every new Robit employee includes completion of a Code of Conduct eLearning program. This is to ensure that everyone working in the company knows our Code of Conduct and is committed to it. The Code of Conduct provides guidelines on, among others, the following issues: compliance with laws, human and labor rights, equality, honesty and fair competition.
Robit is primarily a sales company, and sales skills are our key competence. In autumn 2019, all of the Group's sales personnel participated in a sales training program aimed at improving customer-orientation and better understanding customer needs and customer behavior.
The Robit Talent program has been an important recruitment channel for a number of years now. Through the program, Robit recruits higher education students who have recently graduated or are in the final stages of their studies. A total of eight people have been recruited into the company through the Talent program. One person was recruited in 2019. The program will continue in 2020.
Product competence and leadership, in particular, have been key areas of skills development in 2020.
Measuring the employee experience supports leadership
In February 2019, we introduced an electronic tool that allows employees to express anonymously in real time their employee experience during the week in question. The results are constantly available on our intranet and a weekly summary of feedback is produced. The goal is to react immediately to issues raised in the survey.
In November 2019, a more extensive personnel survey was conducted to measure the dedication and engagement of Robit employees. The response rate was good, 79.2% of the employees responded to the survey.
According to the survey, the level of dedication and engagement had increased significantly compared with the previous year. The level was still lower, however, than a control group. According to the survey, personnel are motivated and feel that their work contribution is significant and important. There was considered to be room for improvement in the decision-making process and also in communications. In particular, it was a desire for better communication on the grounds for decisions and on future prospects. During 2019, the above-mentioned issues have been addressed, but further efforts are needed.

Systematic work to improve safety
Employees' health and safety are always a priority for Robit. Occupational health care is arranged at Robit's operating locations in accordance with local practices, such as maintaining employees' working capacity and enhancing their physical activity.
Systematic efforts to enhance safety in work continued in 2019 and best practices were shared between the Group's various units in order to improve safety. Safety indicators, such as Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR), are regularly monitored in the company. All employees are obliged to report immediately any safety shortcomings and problems they observe. Monthly LTIFR in 2019 is presented in the adjacent table.

Responsible Management of Suppliers
Robit's goal is to build a strong supplier network capable of fulfilling our business needs and honoring our values and expectations regarding social and environmental demands. We want to make sure that we act responsibly throughout the value chain and we also require our suppliers to understand the responsibilities involved in their operations. We expect all of our suppliers to follow a Code of Conduct determined by Robit. This is the starting point for all of Robit's business relationships.
Suppliers are an important stakeholder group for us. Collaboration with suppliers is based on our Code of Conduct, and our commitment to responsible procurement is an integral part of our business. We seek to keep the number of suppliers small so we are better able to verify the responsibility of their operations, which is part of the agreement between the supplier and Robit. An increasing number of our suppliers entered into a written agreement during 2019. Auditing of suppliers is part of our regular quality management, and responsibility has been added to the scope of Robit's supplier audits.
In our procurement decisions, we aim to reduce environmental loading. We try to select value network suppliers close to our production plants in order to reduce the distance and increase the speed of transports as much as possible.
During 2019, the supply chain structure has been simplified to facilitate monitoring of responsibility. We have, among other things, concentrated deliveries of responsibility-related raw materials with fewer suppliers so that we can focus our resources more efficiently on developing responsibility in the supply chain. In 2019, we managed to complete the concentration of procurement of the cobalt-containing components used in our products in just a few sources. This will allow us to better verify the origin of cobalt production.

Robit wants to make sure that our suppliers understand the accountability involved in their operations as part of the delivery process.
ROBIT IN BRIEF COMPANY BUSINESS SUSTAINABILITY INVESTORS THE REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Responsibility for the Environment - Utilization of Raw Materials
For Robit, the environment is important and unique. We recognize that we have to use environmental resources responsibly. Our goal is to extend the life cycle of materials, reduce the use of non-renewable raw materials, and facilitate the generation of added value. We constantly strive to reduce the negative environmental impacts of our product range, operations and supply chain. The mining and construction industries in our operating environment present environmental opportunities and risks. We must identify their impacts by seizing positive opportunities while at the same time minimizing risks.
Raw materials and production
The biggest environmental impacts arising from Robit's own operations come from the raw material consumption of our production and from transports. We are constantly working on raw material optimization to ensure that the raw materials supplied to us are as well-suited as possible to the manufacturing of our products. We track this development by measuring raw material wastage both in our own production and in the production of our most significant subcontractors. All waste generated is sorted, and appropriate recycling arranged for it. We take special care when handling hazardous chemicals and waters as well as the waste they produce.
Energy use
Robit's energy use mainly relates to the manufacturing of the steel used in our products, heat treatment, transportation and the actual energy required by products for their particular purpose. The steel we require is nearly 100% produced from recycled steel. In transportation, priority is given to environmentally efficient transports, the proportion of which we have been able to increase during 2019. In addition, we simplified our global production network in 2019 by reducing the number of production locations from six to four. This will further improve the efficiency of our energy use.
Operating environment and product innovations
In 2019, we improved further the drilling efficiency of our products; new records were achieved, particularly in new products.
During last year, aided by the technology of the hole deviation measurement Sense Systems products, the amount of customer boulder re-blasting and post-blasting breakage was reduced, which saves energy. We strongly believe that all energy-efficiency product innovations will improve competitiveness and save energy.
All of the above-mentioned development measures will reduce the use of fossil fuels in both our transports and our customers' production. In addition, the use of fossil fuels in our own production is low. Whenever possible, we select the energy we use from energy sources that are less harmful to the environment.

Sense Systems, the drill hole deviation measurement system, has offered an increasing number of customers the benefit of reducing the environmental impact of the drilling and blasting process while improving safety.

ROBIT IN BRIEF COMPANY BUSINESS SUSTAINABILITY INVESTORS REPORT OF THE BOARD FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Robit's Outlook for 2020
The global economic situation is exceptionally challenging and difficult to predict. Currently, demand and market conditions are impacted by, among other things, export restrictions, additional customs duties, trade policy negotiations, Brexit, monetary policy changes and global virus epidemics.
The overall outlook for Robit's target markets in 2020 remains stable. There are regional differences, however, in market segment demand. Demand for consumables in the mining industry is positive and the market is expected to remain active. The construction industry and underground construction are more cyclical, which means that regional variations are larger and more prone to the economic distraction. The well drilling market is expected to remain active due to growth in geothermal energy.
Robit's focus will be on drilling consumables. Demand for drilling consumables is less sensitive to economic cycles and uncertainties than demand for investment products. This, combined with the company's current market share, provides a good basis for sales growth.
Guidance for 2020
In 2020, Robit Plc is aiming for growth in net sales and for improved euro-denominated comparable EBITDA profitability than the previous year.
CEO Tommi Lehtonen:
The year 2019 was a period of changes for Robit. The company implemented an efficiency program comprising four elements: developing the distributor network and the company's own sales, better management of working capital, more effective use of factory network capacity and resources, and ensuring the motivation and performance of personnel.
Progress was made in developing the sales and distribution network during the year, and this work will continue in 2020. The program has improved management of trade receivables and liquidity. The reorganization of production in the Down the Hole business increased the utilization rates of the factories manufacturing these products. The strategy and key priorities for 2019 were discussed with personnel in local workshops organized in the early part of the year. These provided good feedback and this was reflected in a clear improvement in a personnel survey compared with the previous year.
Robit's key figures sales and cash flow developed positively as a result of operational efficiencies, particularly in the final quarter. The company's net sales increased by 18.1% in the fourth quarter year-on-year and totaled EUR 22.2 million (18.8). The Top Hammer business grew by 8.7% and the Down the Hole business by 26.2%.
In the full year 2019, the company's net sales grew to EUR 86.5 million (82.7), an increase of approximately 5%. The Top Hammer business grew by approximately 10%, with net sales totaling EUR 40.3 million (36.6). Net sales of the Down the Hole business remained at the 2018 level and totaled EUR 46.2 million (46.1). Order intake increased by 8% compared with the previous year and was EUR 87.3 million (80.8).
Overall, demand was positive in 2019. The mining industry market remained active. The construction industry and underground construction, and projects related to them, are dependent on regional and local financing. Certain regional projects were postponed due to delays in project funding. The project portfolio was sufficient for Robit, however, and significant successes were achieved in piling projects.
Net sales increased, particularly in EMEA, CIS, and North and South America. In these regions, growth was in line with the company's long-term growth target. Sales in the Australasian and Asian regions decreased and fell short of the company's targets. Progress was made in developing the sales and distribution network during the year, but this work will continue in 2020.
The company's result, as measured by EBITA, remained negative and was EUR -4.9 million (-9.7). Due to the efficiency program, the result improved by approximately EUR 4 million. The positive development was based on cost control and better utilization of factory capacity. Comparable EBITA, adjusted for the cost of reorganizing Down the Hole production, was EUR -3.7 million (-8.4).
Due to earnings development and better management of working capital, the company's operating cash flow improved, particularly in the second half of the year, and was EUR 1.8 million (-1.2) on an annual basis. In accordance with its payment program, the company repaid long-term loans amounting to approximately EUR 11.3 million. At the end of the year, the equity ratio was 47%, which provides the basis for the company's development on a growth track in line with its strategy.

ROBIT IN BRIEF COMPANY BUSINESS SUSTAINABILITY INVESTORS REPORT OF THE BOARD FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
During the year, the capacity of the Korean factory increased as planned, and the investment's original volume targets were achieved. Growth is expected to continue in line with plans made. The company carried out a reorganization of Down the Hole production, transferring manufacturing of Halco products to the company's factories in the UK and Australia. Sales of Robit and Halco products as well as a warehouse center were moved to a new operating location in Texas, USA.
These measures resulted in approximately EUR 1.1 million in personnel and machinery realization costs. In addition, an impairment loss on a right-of-use asset resulted in an expense of approximately EUR 0.2 million. The total cost of the reorganization, which affects comparability for 2019, was approximately EUR 1.3 million.
The company's product development in 2019 focused on the significant market change in the mining segment, i.e. increased drilling automation and un-manned drilling. A diamond bit product range, which was launched during the year, was developed for this need.

Environment and Sustainable Development
The environment is important and unique to Robit. The major environmental impacts of our own operations are driven from the raw material consumption of our production and from transport. We are constantly working on raw material optimization to ensure that the raw materials that are delivered to us fit as well as possible in the manufacture of our products. We monitor the waste generation in our own as well as in our main subcontractors' production. All waste generated is sorted and appropriate recycling is organised. We pay special attention to the treatment of harmful chemicals and water and for waste arising therefrom.
The energy used in Robit's supply chain is mainly caused by our steel suppliers' manufacturing process, the transport of products to customers and the energy required for the actual purpose of the products. The steel we need is almost completely produced from recycled steel. In transport, priority is given to environmentally efficient transport, the proportion of which we have been able to significantly increase during the year 2019. In 2019 we also simplified our global production network. This will also enable us to simplify transport in the future, as well as to increase the use of less environment-burdening means of transport.

Consolidating Alternative Key Figures
Robit presents alternative key figures to supplement the key figures given in the Group's financial statements, balance sheets and cash flow statements that have been drawn up according to IFRS standards. Robit considers that the alternative figures give significant extra insight into the result of Robit's operations, its financial position and cash flows. These figures are often used by analysts, investors and other parties.
Alternative key figures should not be studied apart from the key figures according to IFRS or instead of them. Not all companies calculate their alternative key figures in the same way, so Robit's alternative figures may not be directly comparable to those presented by other companies, even if they carry the same headings.
The following events affect comparability: costs relating to being listed on the stock exchange and share issue, acquisition costs and business restructuring costs.

How should Robit's financial statements be read?
Robit has focused in its financial statements on the information, which it considers to be relevant to the stakeholders and other users of financial statements. The notes to the consolidated financial statements include six sections: About the consolidated financial statements, Robit's performance, Acquisitions and intangible assets, Capital structure and financing, Operating assets and liabilities and Other Notes. Each part includes related significant accounting principles. This presentation aims at providing the reader a clear understanding of the Group's financial position and performance as well as selected accounting policies.
2 Robit's performance
2.1 Net sales and segment information
Accounting policies
Product sales
Robit enters into contracts with customers to supply its products, such as drill bits and casing systems. In general, these products are standardised and require only limited specifications provided by customers. Robit is responsible for the purchase or production of the products and in some cases also for their delivery. The performance obligation ends when the goods have been delivered to the customer. If the performance obligation ends based on terms of delivery only when the customer has received the goods, sales revenue is recognised at the time of receipt. The time of recognition of sales is specified by terms and conditions in the sales contract, such as based on terms of delivery or the customer's acceptance procedure.
Longer-term supply contracts covering individual purchase orders are also entered into with customers, for example for the supply of consumables for mines or projects. The performance obligations associated with these longer-term contracts are recognised based on terms of delivery at the time of delivery and are not partially recognised, for example based on the degree of completion of the projects over time, because Robit's products are consumables in nature. Return or repayment obligations are generally not associated with supply contracts. Robit is responsible for ensuring that the products meet the customer's order in terms of technical specifications and also Robit's own quality standards at the time of delivery. If a technical or qualitative problem due to Robit is identified in a product, Robit is obliged to supply to customer with replacement products. These obligations are assessed for each contract in turn, and a separate warranty provision is recognised for them (presented in Note 5.5). Because the products are consumables in nature, no long-term warranty obligations that could be payable in future financial years are associated with the products.
Some customer contracts may contain a variable discount component that allows the customer to receive a quantity discount if the quantities of the original delivery contract are exceeded. In these cases, the realisation of the quantity discount is estimated for each contract in turn and deducted for sales revenue based on the most probable value. The significance of such contracts for the recognition of Robit's sales revenue is currently very minor, however. For these reasons, no significant judgmental decisions are made in the recognition of sales revenue.

Terms of payment and payment periods vary from customer to customer. The applied terms of payment and length of payment period granted to the customer are influenced by, among other things, the geographical location of the customer and the production plant and their distance from each other. In addition, the customer's terms of payment are influenced by the customer-specific credit risk, which is assessed based on the customer's geographical location, the customer's financial situation and the customer's previous payment behaviour. Typically, credit terms of payment are used with customers in cases where the performance obligation ends before payment is received from the customer. Cash discounts are generally not used but, if they are used, the cash discounts given are deducted from net sales. With some customers, an advance payment principle is applied, and the advance payments received from customers are entered in the balance sheet (disclosed in Note 5.6). Significant credit components are generally not associated with sales transactions.
Sales of products with after-sales support
Robit enters into service agreements with customers that include services such as technical support or training in addition to supplying the products. These services bring added value for the client and they are not part of the integration of products that takes place at the customer. The agreements therefore typically include more performance obligations, service and products sold.
Selling prices are allocated to different performance obligations relative to their separate selling prices. Possible discounts are allocated proportionately to all performance obligations. Product sales revenue is recorded at a specific time (see above), whereas sales revenue for services is recognised over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the services provided by Robit. The degree of fulfilment of a performance obligation relative to sales is measured using the output-based method, whereby the degree of fulfilment is measured based on the service provided to date.

Segment information
The chief operating decision-maker has been identified as Robit's board of directors. The board of directors is responsible for strategy, appointing key management positions, significant development projects, business combinations, investments, organization structure and financing. A global skilled sales and distributor organizations recognizing customer needs and requirements in addition to high quality manufacturing based on local subcontractors and global sourcing function are cornerstones of Robit's operations. In accordance with its strategy, Robit is primarily a sales company on global markets.
Robit's sales organization is divided into geographical regions (EMEA, Americas, Asia, Australasia and East). Four manufacturing units located in Finland, South Korea, Australia and UK, are common resources for business operations. These manufacturing units serve the entire sales organization bus concentrating to manufacture certain type or certain size of products.
In order to manage the efficiency of the resources, the business is divided into three strategic business units (SBU): Top Hammer, Down the Hole and Digital Services. The SBU's are structured around the different drilling technologies but they have substantial synergies in sales, manufacturing and sourcing. Due to the Group's structure and nature of business, the business is presented as one segment, which includes group services and other items. The board of directors regularly reviews consolidated net sales and profitability of the group. In addition, the board of directors reviews net sales of the sales regions and the strategic business units.
2.2 Production's materials and services
Materials and services recognized as an expense during the year ended 31 December 2019 amounted to EUR 55 088 thousand (2018: EUR 50 248 thousand). Materials and services include purchases of raw materials such as steel, copper, tungsten carbide, trading products and subcontracting services inventories and changes in inventories.
2.3 Employee benefits
Accounting policies
Short-term benefits
Short-term employee benefits include wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and annual leave compensations expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date. Short-term benefits are recognized in other payables in respect of employees' services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
Post-employment benefits
Robit's pension plans are defined contribution plans. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity with no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods. Contributions to the defined contribution plans are charged directly to the statement of comprehensive income in the year to which these contributions relate.
Other long-term benefits
Other long-term employee benefits are long-service leave or sabbatical leave, jubilee or other long-service benefits and long-term disability benefits.
Robit has other long-term employee benefits plans in Australia (long-service leave) and in Korea (severance payment). Robit key employees are obliged to take part into a long-term incentive plan based on initial investment to Robit shares. The expense is accrued to the period, on which the employee is able to utilize the benefit.
Termination benefits
Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated by the Group before the normal retirement date, or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits.

Robit's number of personnel decreased in 2019 by 34 persons compared to 31.12.2018, with the total number of personnel being 252 at the end of the period under review (31.12.2018: 286). Robit's average number of personnel was 274 persons during the financial period 2019 and 308 in 2018.
Robit has both defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans. All pension plans are defined contribution plans. In Australia, the employees are entitled to be paid long-service leave after 10 years of service in the same business. This arrangement is defined as other long-term employee benefit and thus defined benefit plan. Expenses related to long-service leave amounted to EUR 46 thousand for the year ended 31 December 2019 (2018: EUR 77 thousand). The liability related to long-service fee amounted to EUR 283 thousand as at 31 December 2019 (31.12.2018: EUR 301 thousand).
In Korea, Robit has severance payment plan, where employees earn the benefit based on their service and the whole benefit is paid to an employee when an employment ends. This plan meets the criteria of being other long-term employee benefit and thus defined benefit plan. Expenses related to severance payment plan amounted to EUR 136 thousand for the year ended 31 December 2019 (2018: EUR 333 thousand). The employee benefit obligation recognized for severance payment plan amounted to EUR 228 thousand as at 31 December 2019 (31.12.2018: EUR 821 thousand).
Long-term remuneration: share-based incentive plan
In April 2017, Robit's Board of Directors decided on a share-based incentive scheme for the group's management and key personnel. The scheme is for three years and covers the period 2017-2019. The scheme has three parts: a key person's own investment in the company, a performance-based additional share scheme and an additional share scheme. The aim is to combine the objectives of shareholders and participants in the scheme with the company's long-term objectives. This will increase company value and increase a sense of commitment to the company whilst offering scheme participants a competitive reward scheme that is based on increasing the company's profit and increasing share value.
With the share-based incentive, each participant in the scheme received in September 2018 a number of shares corresponding to the amount they invested, and after a three-year earning period up to a maximum of five times the number of shares, provided the company's objectives for sales growth and earnings per share have been met. 18,672 basic shares participated in the 2017 program and in September 2018, a total of 18,672 shares and EUR 67 thousand in cash was paid as rewards based on the scheme. The scheme covers 11 key personnel.
In June 2018, Robit's Board of Directors decided on a new share-based incentive scheme for the Group's management and key personnel. The scheme has three parts: a key person's own investment in the company, a performance-based additional share scheme and an additional share scheme. The prerequisite for receiving a reward on the basis of the share scheme is that the key individuals acquire Robit shares.
The additional share scheme has two commitment periods, which begin on 1 September 2018 and 1 September 2019. For shares subject to the share ownership conditions, the key individuals will receive shares as a reward after a commitment period of around three years. Receiving the shares is dependent on the continuation of the employment or service contract at the time of payment of the reward. The rewards payable on the basis of the commitment period starting on 1 September 2018 will correspond to the value of a maximum of 24,000 Robit Plc shares, also including the component payable in cash. On June 11, 2019 board resolution was that the reward period planned to begin September 1, 2019 will not be commenced and there was no share allocation. Board of director's also decided that new plan will not be started in 2019. Though, it was concluded, that new plan will be commenced during 2020.
Bobit CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PARENT'S FINANCIAL STATEMENT AUDITOR'S REPORT DEFINITIONS OF KEY FIGURES
The performance-based additional share scheme covers the calendar years 2018–2020 and 2019–2021. The possible reward of the performance period 2018–2020 is based on the Robit Group's cumulative earnings per share (EPS) and cumulative net sales. The rewards payable on the basis of the performance period 2018–2020 will correspond to the value of a maximum of 100,000 Robit Plc shares, also including the component payable in cash.
The incentive scheme covers 7 key personnel.
The long-term share-based incentive plan for the CEO applies to Tommi Lehtonen, the CEO of the group since May 1, 2019. The share plan has three earning periods and covers the period January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2024. Board of directors of Robit Plc sets targets for each two-year earning period starting from 2019. Earning periods end with December 31, 2020, December 31, 2022 or December 31, 2024. The fees, payable under this scheme, represent a total of 160,000 Robit Plc's share value, including the monetary contribution to taxes and tax-related payments.
2.4 Other operating income and expenses
Accounting policies
Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognized in the profit or loss over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate.
Robit as lessee
Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
Robit as a lessor
As of 1 January 2019, the Group has applied the IFRS 16 standard which replaces old IAS 17 Leases-standard. Robit adopted the IFRS 16 standard from 1 January 2019, using the modified retrospective approach whereby comparative financial information is not restated.
Impact of the adoption of IFRS 16 standard
IFRS 16 specifies the principles by which leases are recorded and measured, how they are presented in the financial statements and what information about them is presented. As a result, almost all rental or leasing agreements are recorded in the balance sheet, as there is no longer differentiation between operating leases and finance leases. According to the new standard, an asset (the right to use the asset that has been leased) is recognised, as is a financial debt corresponding to the lease or rental payment. The only exceptions will be rental agreements relating to short-term rental of low value assets.
At the balance sheet date, the Group has non-cancellable leases amounting to EUR 5,538 thousand. A total of EUR 8 073 thousand of leasing liabilities and leasing assets were recognized on 1 January 2019 in accordance with the standard.

ROBIT CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PARENT'S FINANCIAL STATEMENT AUDITOR'S REPORT DEFINITIONS OF KEY FIGURES
The Group has leases for various premises, equipment, machinery, vehicles and other equipment. Prior to the adoption of IFRS 16, the Group classified all leases as either finance leases or operating leases. A lease was classified as a finance lease if it transferred all the risks and rewards of ownership of the leased asset to the Group; otherwise it was classified as an operating lease. Financial leases were capitalised at the inception of the lease at the fair value of the leased asset. In an operating lease, the leased asset was not capitalized and the leases were recognised as rental expenses in profit or loss over the lease term.
With the adoption of IFRS 16, the Group applies a uniform recognition and valuation method for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets.
Leases previously classified as finance leases
The Group did not change the original carrying amounts of the recognised assets and liabilities (i.e. the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are equal to the lease payments and liabilities recognised in accordance with IAS 17). The requirements of IFRS 16 were applied to these leases from 1 January 2019.
Leases previously classified as operating leases
The Group recognised right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for those leases that were previously classified as operating leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low value assets.

| EUR thousand | |

| Extensions at management’s discretion not recognized at 31 December 2018 | 3 625 |
| Lease liabilities as at 1 January 2019 | 8 847 |
Accounting principles
Right-of-use assets:
The Group records right-of-use assets on the date of adoption of the standard on 1 January 2019. Right-of-use assets are valued at acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment and are restated through reassessments of the leases.
Leases
On the date of adoption of the standard, 1 January 2019, the Group recognised lease commitments valued at the contractual or estimated present value of the lease term. Lease payments include fixed payments less any income from re-leasing.
When calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses the estimated discount rate of the property investor's yield requirement for buildings and land. In machinery and equipment as well as vehicles are used the interest rates specified in the financing agreements or the local estimated additional financing interest rate.
Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
The Group applies the exemption for short-term leases. This is also applied to leases of low-value assets. Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as an expense.
Special consideration in determining the lease term
The Group defines leases as non-cancellable. If a lease includes the possibility to extend or terminate the lease, the extension is taken into account at management's discretion in significant lease items such as premises, land, plant and machinery.

3 Acquisitions and Intangible Assets
3.1 Acquisitions
Accounting policies
Robit applies the acquisition method to account for business acquisitions. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities in business acquisitions are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The fair value of the consideration transferred comprises the initial cash paid to the sellers and an estimate of any future payments Robit may be liable to pay based on future performance of the business. This latter amount is classified as contingent consideration and can be either classified as equity or a financial liability. Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present value. Goodwill is initially measured as the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
Key judgements and estimates – fair value of the acquired net assets
Net assets acquired through business combinations are measured at fair value. The measurement of fair value of the acquired net assets is based on market value of similar assets (property, plant and equipment), or an estimate of expected cash flows (intangible assets). The valuation, which is based on prevailing repurchase value, expected cash flows or estimated sales price, requires management judgement and assumptions. The management trusts that the applied estimates and assumptions are sufficiently reliable for determining fair values.
Acquisitions in 2019
Robit acquired in October 1, 2019 about 10% of the shares in Swedish Eurodrilling Services AB. Acquisition price was 99 euros and the acquisition did not materially affect Robit's financial position. In conjunction to the acquisition a distribution was signed.
Acquisitions in 2018
Robit did not make any business acquisitions during the review period but the company did purchase the remaining 49 per cent of shares in Halco Brighouse Ltd., which it now fully owns. The company has already been consolidated into the group's 2017 financial statement according to 100 percent ownership.
During the review period the company founded a subsidiary in Hong Kong (Robit Asia Ltd).

3.2 Goodwill & impairment testing
Accounting policy
Goodwill arises on the acquisition of subsidiaries. Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of the acquisition over the Group's interest in the net fair value of the assets and liabilities of the acquiree. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. The allocation is made to those cash generating units or groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose.
The Group uses value in use calculations when assessing the recoverable amount. In assessing the recoverable amount, estimated future net cash flows are discounted to their present value based on the weighted average pre-tax cost of capital. The weighted average cost of capital reflects the current market view of the time value of money and risks related to the units to be tested.
An impairment loss is charged to the statement of income when the carrying amount of CGU exceeds the recoverable amount. Impairment loss is first allocated to goodwill and then to other assets on a pro rata basis. Impairment losses recognized for goodwill in the statement of income are not reversed.
Key judgements and estimates – goodwill impairment testing
The management makes significant estimates and judgements in determining the level at which the goodwill is tested and whether there are any indications of impairment.
The goodwill in the Robit's balance sheet arose mainly in June and July 2016 when Robit acquired Robit Australia and Robit GB, but also acquisition in February 2017 of Halco. Robit has re-organized its Down the Hole business and substantial savings in production and supply chain are expected to be gained. Before Down the Hole and Halco were tested for impairment as separate cash generating units (CGU), but in the new situation they are tested as one CGU. After this change Robit has two CGU's TTop Hammer and Down the Hole)
Cash flow estimates are based on management's best estimates for future net sales, cost development, general market conditions and applicable tax rates. The estimate covers following three-year period. The cash flows beyond this period are based on the estimated growth rates stated below.

*) Goodwill of Halco has been tested integrated to Down the Hole CGU
The goodwill of Top Hammer cash-generating unit has been tested for impairment as of December 31, 2019. Based on the assumptions below, the recoverable amount of the Top Hammer cash-generating unit is estimated to exceed the carrying amount of tested net assets by EUR 5 559 thousand, which represents 12% of the carrying amount of the tested assets.
Management has determined the values for key assumptions used in the impairment testing of the Top Hammer cash-generating unit as follows:
| Assumption | Approach used to determining values |
|---|---|
| Net sales growth | The cumulative annual growth rate for the revenue is expected to be 16% during the three-year forecast period. Net sales are expected to increase since training and development of the distribution network has been targeted better as well as the Korean facility's improved performance allows more active pricing and enables growth of market share. |
| EBITDA-margin | Average EBITDA-margin is expected to be 11.6% during the three year forecasting period. The long-term EBITDA is expected to be 13.6% of the net sales. This is based on implemented measures and management's expectations for future development. |
| Long-term growth rate | The long-term growth rate beyond three year forecast period is expected to be 1.5% per annum. This in line with the expected long-term inflation rate. |
| Pre-tax discount rate | The pre-tax discount rate used in impairment testing is 14.3%. This reflects the specific risks relating to Down the Hole business and the countries in which it operates. |

The recoverable amount of Top Hammer cash-generating unit would equal its carrying amount if any of the key assumptions were to change as follows (keeping other assumptions constant):
| Assumed values in goodwill impairment calculations | From | To |
|---|---|---|
| Average annual net sales growth during the three-year forecast period | 16.0 % | 2.0 % |
| Average EBITDA-margin during the three-year forecast period | 11.6% | 6.3 % |
| Average EBITDA-margin (exceeding the three-year forecasting period) | 13,6 % | 12.6 % |
| Long-term growth rate (exceeding three-year forecasting period) | 1,5 % | -1,5 % |
| Pre-tax discount rate | 14.3 % | 16,1 % |
The goodwill of Down the Hole cash-generating unit has been tested for impairment as of December 31, 2019.
Robit has re-organized its Down the Hole business and substantial savings in production and supply chain are expected to be gained. Before Down the Hole and Halco were tested for impairment as separate cash generating units (CGU), but in the new situation they are tested as one CGU. Based on the assumptions below, the recoverable amount of the Down the Hole cash-generating unit is estimated to exceed the carrying amount of tested net assets by EUR 7.794 thousand, which represents 27% of the carrying amount of the tested assets.
Management has determined the values for key assumptions used in the impairment testing of the Down the Hole cash-generating unit as follows:
| Assumption | Approach used to determining values |
|---|---|
| Net sales growth | The cumulative annual growth rate for the revenue is expected to be 5.2 % during the three-year forecast period. Net sales is expected to increase due to the synergies related to business combinations after training of the distribution networks has been completed and the steady development of the market. |
| EBITDA-margin | Average EBITDA-margin is expected to be 11.5% during the three-year forecasting period. The long-term EBITDA is expected to be 13.6% of the net sales. This is based on implemented measures and management’s expectations for future development. |
| Long-term growth rate | The long-term growth rate beyond three-year forecast period is expected to be 1.5% per annum. This in line with the expected long-term inflation rate. |

3.3 Other intangible assets
Accounting policy
Intangible assets are recognized in the balance sheet when the asset can be controlled by Robit, the expected future benefits attributable to the asset will flow to Robit and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. An intangible asset is initially recognized at cost, comprising of its purchase price and any directly attributable expenditures. Intangible assets are carried in the balance sheet at acquisition cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.
Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method depending on the useful life of the asset. The appropriateness of the amortization periods and method is assessed at each balance sheet date. The useful lives for Robit's intangible assets are as follows:
| Years | |
|---|---|
| Customer relationships | 7-10 |
| Brand | 15 |
| Intangible rights | 5 |
| Other intangible assets | 5 |
Development costs
Development costs are capitalized when certain criteria related to economic and technical feasibility are met, and it is expected that the product will generate future economic benefits. Capitalized development costs include mainly materials, supplies and direct labour costs. Earlier expensed development costs are not capitalized later. Intangible assets under development are not amortized, but they are tested for impairment at least annually.
Key judgements and estimates - capitalized development expenses
Costs incurred in the development phase of a development project are capitalized as intangible assets if a number of criteria are met. Management has made judgements and assumptions when assessing whether a project meets these criteria, and on measuring the costs and the economic life as well as the future cash inflows generated by the development projects. Expected returns from capitalized development projects involve estimates and judgement from the management about the future net sales and related costs. These estimates involve risks and uncertainties and it is possible that, following changes in circumstances, expected returns from capitalized development projects change. Robit assesses indications of impairment for capitalized development projects. The value for capitalized development projects may decrease, if the expected returns from new services change.
Key judgements and estimates related to intangible assets acquired in connection with business combinations are discussed in section Acquisitions.

4 Capital Structure and Financing
4.1 Share capital and reserves
Accounting policy
Robit's equity consists of share capital, share premium, the reserve for invested unrestricted equity, translation differences, and retained earnings. Changes in treasury shares owned by Robit are recorded in the retained earnings. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
Dividend distribution to the Company's shareholders is recognized as a liability in the Group's financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Company's shareholders.
Share capital and share premium
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. The parent company has one share class, and each share has equal right to dividend. Each share carries one vote at the general meeting. All shares issued by the parent company are fully paid. The shares have no nominal value.
The table below presents the number of outstanding shares for the reported periods:
| Shares | Number |
|---|---|
| At 1 Jan 2018 | 20 997 580 |
| Use of treasury shares to management compensation | 18 672 |
| Use of treasury shares to BoD compensation | 40 141 |
| At 31 Dec 2018 | 21 056 393 |
| Use of treasury shares to management compensation | 3 226 |
| Use of treasury shares to BoD compensation | 25 488 |
| Acquisition of own shares | -150 000 |
| At 31 Dec 2019 | 20 935 107 |
The amounts included in the share premium fund relate to share issues in accordance with the previous Finnish Limited Liability Companies Act, which was in force until 31 August 2006, whereby the share premium account was credited with the amounts in excess of the then current nominal value of the shares that were paid by shareholders in connection with share issues.

| Acquisition of own shares | 150 000 |
| At 31 Dec 2019 | 148 793 |
Reserve for invested unrestricted equity
Under the Finnish Companies Act, the subscription price of new shares is credited to the share capital, unless it is provided in the share issue resolution that it is to be credited in full or in part to the invested unrestricted equity reserve. Contributions to the reserve for invested unrestricted equity can also be made without share issues.
Part of the Board of Directors yearly compensation was paid with Robit's treasury shares in 2019 and 2018.
Dividends
The annual general meeting resolution March 27, 2019 was not pay dividend in 2019. In 2018 the dividend payment was 0,10 euros per share totalling EUR 2 100 thousand.
4.2 Earnings per share
Accounting policy
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to owners of the parent company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS is calculated on the same basis as Basic EPS except that it reflects the impact of any potential commitments the Group has to issue shares in the future.
The Group did not have any instruments that would have dilutive impact on the earnings per share as at 31 December 2019 or 2018.
| 1 Jan – 31 Dec 2019 | 1 Jan – 31 Dec 2018 | |
|---|---|---|
| Profit attributable to the owners of the parent company (euros) | -7 264 646 | -31 384 156 |
| Weighted average number of shares (number of shares) | 20 967 117 | 21 003 716 |

1.1 Borrowings
Accounting policy
Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred, and are subsequently carried at amortised cost.
Transaction costs are amortized over the term of the loan and recognized as finance cost as part of interest expense using effective interest rate method. Borrowings are derecognized when loan has been repaid or liability has been extinguished for example in connection with refinancing.
Borrowings are recognized as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the end of reporting period.
The benefit of a government loan (Business Finland loan) at a below market rate of interest is treated as a government grant. The loan itself is accounted for as described above. However, those government loans that have been withdrawn before the date of transition to IFRS are recorded at their nominal value in accordance with the transitional provisions of IFRS 1.
Carrying amounts of the borrowings:
| EUR thousand | 31-Dec-19 | 31-Dec-18 |
|---|---|---|
| Non-current borrowings | ||
| Loans from credit institutions | 17 450 | 24 678 |
| Other loans | 585 | 660 |
| Lease liabilities | 4 070 | 524 |
| Total non-current borrowings | 22 106 | 25 862 |
| Current borrowings | ||
| Loans from credit institutions | 9 414 | 13 246 |
| Other loans | 76 | 76 |
| Bank overdrafts | 3 919 | 3 845 |
| Lease liabilities | 2 700 | 251 |
| Total current borrowings | 16 109 | 17 419 |
| Total borrowings | 38 215 | 43 280 |
The Group's management has determined that there is no material difference between the borrowings' carrying value and fair value because significant part of Robit's loans are with variables interest rate. There have not been significant changes in interest rates since the issue date of the loans and margins of loans are considered to reflect different conditions and the subordination of the loans with reasonable accuracy. The management has assessed that there have not been significant changes in credit risk since the loans were drawn down.
Bobit CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PARENT'S FINANCIAL STATEMENT AUDITOR'S REPORT DEFINITIONS OF KEY FIGURES
Loans from credit institutions
A credit facility, totalling EUR 24 million, is secured by a negative pledge that imposes on Robit certain covenants and limitations regarding additional loans. The negative pledge states that (subject to certain exceptions) Robit will not provide any other security over its assets, and will ensure that the following financial performance measures (the original terms of the financing agreement) are met:
- Minimum equity ratio of 32.5% and
- Net debt/adjusted EBITDA ratio is defined to be 2.5 or less from 30 June 2018 onwards
The covenant interest-bearing net debt/EBITDA of Robit Plc's financing agreement did not meet the terms of the financing agreement at 31 December 2019. The company has obtained a waiver from its main financing bank to breach the covenant at 31 December 2018. The covenant condition was an absolute EBITDA at 31 December 2019. Robit amortized its loans by EUR 5 million at the end of January and by EUR 5 million at the end of April. In addition, the interest rate margin on these loans was increased by 1.1 percentage points, i.e. to 2.75%, until Robit Plc's covenant interest-bearing net debt/EBITDA meets the value specified in the original financing agreement. At 31 December 2018, the company has EUR 15.2 million in liquid funds and can therefore maintain its debt servicing and liquidity in current amortization schedule.
Other loans from financial institutions includes mainly variable rate bank loans and short-term reverse factoring agreements. Information regarding guarantees for the loans can be found in note 4.7. Factoring limit available in Korea was not utilized at the end of 2019.
Other loans
Other loans are Business Finland interest subsidized loans for Robit's research and development projects. The loans have an interest rate lower than the market rate.
Bank overdrafts
The Group had EUR 3 919 thousand liability as at 31 December 2019 (31.12.2018: EUR 3 845 thousand) related to its credit facility agreement including one Finnish bank limit. The maximum amount at 31 December 2019 was EUR 4 000 thousand (31.12.2018 EUR 4 000 thousand).
Finance lease liabilities
Lease liabilities are secured as the rights to the leased asset revert to the lessor in the event of default:
Lease liabilities are reported as use of asset liabilities with bank financing.

4.4 Financial assets
Accounting policies
The Group classifies all its financial assets in category "loans and receivables". The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and receivables are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the end of the reporting period. These are classified as non-current assets. The Group's loans and receivables are included in the consolidated balance sheet lines "Cash and cash equivalents", "Loan receivables", "Account and other receivables" and "Other receivables" (non-current).
Loans and receivables at amortised cost mainly consist of accounts receivable and cash and cash equivalents that are not quoted in an active market and that are not kept for trading purposes. Loans and receivables are measured initially at fair value plus transaction costs, if any, and subsequently, at amortised cost using the effective interest method. An impairment loss is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income if the carrying value of the loan receivable is higher than the estimated recoverable amount.
| EUR thousand | 31-Dec-19 | 31-Dec-18 |
|---|---|---|
| Carrying amounts of loans and receivables | ||
| Loan receivables | 154 | 222 |
| Account and other receivables | 20 112 | 18 640 |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 15 248 | 27 470 |
| Total current | 35 514 | 46 332 |
| Loan receivables | 266 | 334 |
| Other receivables | 0 | 0 |
| Total non-current | 266 | 334 |
| Total | 35 781 | 46 666 |
Loan receivables
Loan receivables previously reported as share loan receivables amounted to EUR 128 thousand as at 31 December 2019 (31.12.2018: EUR 366 thousand). In previous years Robit has issued shares to its key employees and has promissory notes to enable them to pay the share subscriptions. The interest rate used is the reference rate set by the Finnish Ministry of Finance every six months. Interest is paid two times a year. No margin has been added to the reference rate. The amount of interest subsidy is recognized as other operating expenses.
Loan receivables are measured at amortised cost because the criteria below are met:
- the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is holding financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, and
- the terms of contract of the financial asset provide for cash flows at certain times which are solely the payment of the principal and interest on the remaining amount of capital
Account and other receivables are described more detailed in note 5.3. Account and other receivables.
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash at hand and deposits held at call with banks.

4.5 Finance income and costs
Accounting policy
Finance costs consist of interest expenses on bank loans, bank overdrafts and other loans, foreign exchange losses on financing activities and losses and realized and unrealized changes on the value of interest rate swaps.
Transaction costs related to loans are expensed in profit or loss using effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate is the rate that discounts the estimated future payments through the expected life of a loan to the net carrying amount of the financial liability. The calculation includes all fees paid by the contracting parties and transaction costs. Interest income is recognized using the effective interest rate, unless the receipt of interest is uncertain. In such cases the interest income is accounted for on a cash basis. Foreign exchange gains and losses on financing activities are recognized within finance income or costs.
Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value. Fair value gains and losses on derivatives are recognized to the statement of comprehensive income.
| EUR thousand | 1 Jan - 31 Dec 2019 | 1 Jan - 31 Dec 2018 |

4.6 Financial risk and capital management
The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk and cash flow interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management program focuses to seek to identify and mitigate potential risks arising from financial markets, customer transactions and liquidity requirements.
Risks are identified, assessed and mitigated as a part of daily management routines. Majority of Group financing is done by Robit Plc, minor investments or working capital needs may be financed locally.
The Board of Directors provides principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and use of derivative financial instruments.
(a) Market risk
(i) Foreign exchange risk
The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the US dollar, Australian dollar, sterling pound, Russian ruble and Korean Won. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions, recognized assets and liabilities and net investments in foreign operations. Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions or recognized assets or liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the entity's functional currency.
Group companies initiate sale and purchase transactions mainly in group companies' functional currencies. The Group has specified a policy for hedging against currency risks. Management aims to balance the revenue and expenses realised in a currency other than the functional currency and hedges the most significant positions that are cost-effective to hedge.
At 31 December 2019, if the EUR had weakened/strengthened by 10% against the Australian dollar with all other variables held constant, the recalculated post-tax profit for the year would have been EUR 757 thousand higher/lower, mainly as a result of foreign exchange gains/losses on translation of Australian dollar-denominated loan amounted to EUR 7 846 thousand granted by the parent company to the Australian subsidiary.
As 31 December 2019, if the EUR has weakened/strengthened by 10% against the US dollar with all other variables held constant, the recalculated post-tax profit for the year would have been EUR 1 520 thousand higher/lower, mainly as a result of foreign exchange gains/losses on translation of US dollar-denominated loans amounted to EUR 5 112 thousand and US dollar denominated account receivables from group companies and third parties amounting to EUR 11 965 thousand.
As 31 December 2019, if the EUR has weakened/strengthened by 10% against the Korean won with all other variables held constant, the recalculated post-tax profit for the year would have been EUR 1 088 thousand higher/lower, mainly as a result of foreign exchange gains/losses on translation of Korean won -denominated loan amounted to EUR 5 918 thousand and internal account payables.
As 31 December 2019, if the EUR has weakened/strengthened by 10% against the pound sterling (GBP) with all other variables held constant, the recalculated post-tax profit for the year would have been EUR 651 thousand higher/lower, mainly as a result of foreign exchange gains/losses on translation of GBP -denominated loan amounted to EUR 4 572 thousand.
As 31 December 2019, if the EUR has weakened/strengthened by 10% against the Russian ruble with all other variables held constant, the recalculated post-tax profit for the year would have been EUR 224 thousand higher/lower, mainly as a result of Russian ruble denominated account receivables from group companies and third parties.
The Group has certain investments in foreign operations, whose net assets are exposed to foreign currency translation risk. The Group is exposed to translation risk mainly due to changes in Australian dollar, sterling pound and Korean Won.
(ii) Cash flow interest rate risk
The Group's interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Majority of the Group's loans are with variables interest rate which expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Subsidiaries in UK, Korea and South Africa did not reports fixed rate loans at year end 2019 (31.12.2018: EUR 2 706 thousand). During the presented periods, the Group's borrowings at variable rate were denominated in euro, South Korean Won and sterling pound.
Bobit CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PARENT'S FINANCIAL STATEMENT AUDITOR'S REPORT DEFINITIONS OF KEY FIGURES
At 31 December 2019, if interest rates had been 50 basis points higher with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit for the year would have been EUR 140 thousand (2018: EUR 193 thousand) lower as a result of higher interest expense on floating rate interest-bearing liabilities. Interest rate sensitivity has been calculated by shifting the interest curve by 50 basis points (due to low market interest environment the lower scenario has not been presented). The interest position includes all external variable rate interest-bearing liabilities.
The management of the Group has assessed that cash flow interest rate risk is low in current market situation and therefore does not actively use derivatives to manage its cash flow interest rate risk.
(b) Credit risk
Credit risk arises mainly from cash and cash equivalents and credit exposures to customers from outstanding receivables. Credit risk on cash and cash equivalents is managed at group level. Cash and cash equivalents are held in reputable mainly Nordic banks. Each local entity is responsible for managing the credit risk for their account receivables balances. The local entities have the responsibility to analyse the credit standing of each of their new clients before standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered.
Before accepting a customer, the customer's ability to pay the purchase transactions is carefully estimated through analysing customer's financial statements and current market position. Credit risk countering payment methods such as letter of credit and advance payments are used in high risk regions. The Group has been able to collect also significantly overdue receivables eventually.
The maximum exposure to the credit risk at the reporting dates are the carrying values of each class of financial assets mentioned above.
Key judgements and estimates - Overdue receivables
The Group applies the simplified approach defined in IFRS 9 for the recognition of expected credit losses, according to which lifetime expected losses can be recognised for all trade receivables.
For the purpose of determining expected credit losses, trade receivables are classified on the basis of shared credit risk characteristics and delayed payment. Expected loss rates are based on sales payment profiles over a 12-month period before 31 December 2018 and on actual credit losses incurred during that period. Actual loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and future-oriented information and macroeconomic factors that affect the ability of customers to make a payment of receivables.
The aging of the account receivables including bad debt provision deducted is as follows:
| EUR thousand | 31-Dec-19 | 31-Dec-18 |
|---|---|---|
| Not due | 12 366 | 10 126 |
| Overdue by | ||
| Less than 30 days | 3 331 | 2 409 |
| 30-60 days | 746 | 927 |
| 61-90 days | 420 | 714 |
| More than 90 days | 774 | 1 584 |
| Total | 17 637 | 15 760 |
Bobit CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PARENT'S FINANCIAL STATEMENT AUDITOR'S REPORT DEFINITIONS OF KEY FIGURES
The Group has only one type of financial assets subject to the expected credit loss model: trade receivables from sales of product and maintenance services. Although cash and cash equivalents and liabilities recognised at amortised cost are also subject to impairment testing under IFRS 9, the impairment loss observed is not material.
On the basis of this, entries reducing the carrying amount of trade receivables were made, amounting to EUR 842 thousand in financial year 2019 and EUR 1 298 thousand in 2018. For the calculation of the impairment of trade receivables, see Note 5.3.
(c) Liquidity risk
Cash flow forecasting is performed in the Group's finance function. Group finance function monitors the Group's liquidity requirements monthly to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs while maintaining sufficient headroom on its undrawn committed facilities at all times. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 15 248 thousand as at 31 December 2019 (31.12.2018: EUR 27 476 thousand). Operating cash flows and liquid funds are the main source of financing for the future payments together with possible new debt or equity financing.
Covenants on the Group's interest-bearing financial liability drawn-down in 2016 are monitored monthly. The financial covenants are the equity ratio and the net debt in relation to EBITDA. The minimum equity ratio is agreed to be 32,5%. Minimum net debt to EBITDA ratio has been defined to be 2,5 at 30 June 2018 and onwards. We are referring to note 4.3 information on the covenant breach.
The Group's equity ratio 47% as at 31 December 2019 (31.12.2018: 49%) is strong and the Group is able to draw external financing in case that operational cash flows are not sufficient. The Group does not invest actively surplus cash held. The Group's target is to achieve both organic and structural growth and cash balances are directed to those purposes.

Capital management
Robit defines capital as equity plus borrowings as shown on the balance sheet 31.12.2019 EUR 88 142 thousand (31.12.2018 EUR 101 044 thousand). Robit's capital management's target is to keep capital structure that supports the business by ensuring the operating conditions and to increase shareholder value by aiming at a competitive return on invested capital. The capital structure shall take into account both current and future business needs, as well as ensure competitive cost of financing. Robit board monitors equity ratio and net interest-bearing debt to EBITDA ratio. The equity ratio is calculated as shareholders' equity divided by total assets less advances received.
The capital structure can be affected, among other things, by the dividend distribution and share issues. If necessary, Robit has the opportunity to acquire own shares and to issue new shares in accordance with mandates by General Meeting. The Group's equity ratio was 47 (31.12.2018: 49) per cent and the ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA was 7 as at 31 December 2019. We are referring to note 4.3 information on the covenant breach.
Cooperation with banks is based on long-term banking relationships. In the long-term goal is to service Robit's loan obligations by operating cash flow. During the phase of rapid growth, capital may be acquired both equity and debt financing terms.

5 Operating Assets and Liabilities
5.1 Property, plant and equipment
Accounting policy
Property, plant and equipment is initially recognized at historical cost which comprises of the purchase price and other expenditures directly related to the acquisition that are necessary for bringing the asset to its operating condition and location. Items of property, plant and equipment are carried in the balance sheet at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Items of property, plant and equipment leased under the lease terms are accounted for similarly to purchased property, plant and equipment. Repair and maintenance costs are recognized as expenses at the time they incur.
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
| Years | |
|---|---|
| Buildings and structures | 10-30 |
| Machinery and equipment | 5-15 |
| Other tangible assets | 5-10 |
The assets' useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.
Gains or losses on disposal of property, plant and equipment are included either within other operating income or other operating expenses in the statement of comprehensive income.
Property, plant and equipment is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use.

5.2 Inventories
Accounting policy
Materials and supplies, work in progress and finished goods are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. The costs of purchase of inventories comprise the purchase price, import duties and other taxes, transport, handling and other costs directly attributable to the acquisition of finished goods, materials and services. Trade discounts, rebates and other similar items are deducted in determining the costs of purchase. The costs of conversion of inventories include direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure, the latter being allocated on the basis of normal operating capacity. Costs are determined using weighted average costs.
Key judgements and estimates - Inventory valuation
Inventory valuation requires management estimates and judgements specially relating to obsolescence and recording inventory to net realizable value based on expected selling prices as well as the management's assessment of the general market development in the Robit's main markets. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to complete the sales.
| EUR thousand | 31-Dec-19 | 31-Dec-18 |
|---|---|---|
| Materials and supplies | 4 238 | 4 449 |
| Work in progress | 2 024 | 1 719 |
| Finished goods | 26 509 | 24 639 |
| Total | 32 771 | 30 808 |
The inventories include mainly raw materials used in the production and finished products, such as button bits, drilling rods, casing systems hammer components and assembled hammers. Inventory of finished goods include obsolescence provision of EUR 1 486 thousand. The increase of the provision was EUR 594 thousand and the release EUR 1 186 thousand due to the sale of slow-moving inventories and scrapping of unsalable inventories, in respect of which the risk of obsolescence has been reduced.
Movements in the provision for obsolescence of inventory that are assessed for impairment are as follows:

5.3 Account and other receivables
Accounting policies
Account receivables are amounts due from customers for goods sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. Account receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost less impairment. The Group uses a simplified approach to estimating expected credit losses. To estimate credit losses, trade receivables are grouped on the basis of credit risk characteristics and past-due dates. Impairment is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income under other operating expenses.
Other receivables include mainly prepaid expenses and accrued income from the usual operating activities of the Group.
The current account and other receivables comprised of the following:
| EUR thousand | 31-Dec-19 | 31-Dec-18 |
|---|---|---|
| Account receivables | 17 637 | 15 760 |

| Other receivables* | 2 223 | 2 653 |
| Total | 20 112 | 18 640 |
- Incl. mainly VAT receivables EUR 1 437 thousand.
The carrying amounts of current trade receivables and other receivables are considered to be close to their fair values. This is due to their short-term nature.
Movements in the provision for impairment of trade receivables that are assessed for impairment are as follows:
| EUR thousand | 2019 | 2018 |

Classification of accounts receivables
Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for goods sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. They are generally due for settlement within 30-90 days and therefore are all classified as current. Trade receivables are recognised initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional unless they contain significant financing components, when they are recognised at fair value. The group holds the trade receivables with the objective to collect the contractual cash flows and therefore measures them subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Details about the group's impairment policies and the calculation of the loss allowance are provided in note 4.6.
Factored receivables
The carrying amounts of the trade receivables in the previous year included receivables which were subject to a factoring arrangement. Under this arrangement group has transferred the relevant receivables to the factor in exchange for cash and is prevented from selling or pledging the receivables. However, Robit has still the credit risk as credit risk is not transferred to financing companies. The group therefore continues to recognise the transferred assets in their entirety in its balance sheet. In 2019 this facility was not in use.
The relevant carrying amounts are as follows:
| EUR thousand | 2019 | 2018 |
|---|---|---|
| Factored receivables | 0 | 194 |
| Associated secured borrowing (bank loans see note 4.3) | 0 | 194 |
5.4 Account and other payables
Accounting policy
Account payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Account payables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.
The current account and other payables comprise of the following:
| EUR thousand | 31-Dec-19 | 31-Dec-18 |
|---|---|---|
| Account payables | 13 043 | 8 575 |
| Accrued expenses | 2 700 | 2 917 |

| Other * | 1 474 | 1 637 |
| Total | 2 700 | 2 917 |
- Mainly accrued outsourcing fees, accrued audit fees and accrued rental expenses.
The carrying amounts of account payables and other payables are considered to be the same as their fair values, due to their short-term nature.

5.5 Provisions
Accounting policy
Return or repayment obligations are generally not associated with supply contracts. Robit is responsible for ensuring that the products meet the customer's order in terms of technical specifications and also Robit's own quality standards at the time of delivery. If a technical or qualitative problem due to Robit is identified in a product, Robit is obliged to supply to customer with replacement products. These obligations are assessed for each contract in turn, and a separate warranty provision is recognised for them. Because the products are, in nature, consumables, no long-term warranty obligations that could be payable in future financial years are associated with the products.
A provision has been made estimating warranty claims for the products sold in which a technical or qualitative problem has been identified. These claims are expected to be settled over the next year and are therefore reported as current provisions. The amount of the provision was EUR 45 thousand at 31 December 2019 (2018: EUR 148 thousand).
Movements in the provision for warranty provisions

5.6 Advance payments received
Advance payments received amounted to EUR 266 thousand as at 31 December 2019 (31.12.2018: EUR 142 thousand). Advance payments are usually required from clients that are not creditworthy. In normal course of business advance payments are not an usual way of doing business.

6.1 Subsidiaries and foreign currencies
Accounting policy
Consolidation
Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. All intercompany transactions, receivables, liabilities, unrealized profits and distribution of profits within Robit Group are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. Accounting principles of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the principles adopted by the Group.
Foreign currency translation
Assets and liabilities in foreign subsidiaries are translated into euro at the rate prevailing on the balance sheet date. Income and expenses in foreign subsidiaries are translated into euro using an average rate. Translation differences that arise when translating the financial statements of subsidiaries are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in translation differences reserve in equity.
Foreign currency denominated transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or if items have been revalued, using the measurement date exchange rates. Foreign exchange gains and losses arising in respect of business operations, such as sales and purchases, are recognized in relevant lines above operating profit. Foreign exchange differences arising from financing transactions are recognized in finance income and costs.
The exchange differences charged/credited to the statement of comprehensive income are as follows:
| EUR thousand | 1 Jan - 31 Dec 2019 | 1 Jan - 31 Dec 2018 |

6.2 Taxes
Income tax expense
Accounting policy
The income tax expense consists of current tax and changes in deferred tax. Tax is recognized in the consolidated profit or loss statement or if tax relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, then the related tax is recognized in other comprehensive income or equity correspondingly.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the local tax laws and tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in relevant countries where the Group operates and generates taxable income.
Income taxes recognized in consolidated income statements differ from the income taxes calculated using the Finnish tax rate as follows:

Deferred income tax
Accounting policy
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are accounted for using the liability method for all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to be applied when the related deferred tax asset is realized or the deferred tax liability is settled. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences except for deferred tax liability where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilised. Realisable value of deferred tax assets is assessed at each balance sheet date and adjustments are made in case there is indication that utilisation of deferred tax assets would no longer be probable.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred taxes assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.
Key judgements and estimates - deferred tax assets and liabilities
Judgement is required in assessing whether deferred tax assets and certain deferred tax liabilities are recognized on the balance sheet. Deferred tax assets are recognized only where it is considered more likely than not that they will be recovered, which is dependent on the generation of sufficient future taxable profits. Assumptions about the generation of future taxable profits depend on management's estimates of future cash flows that relate among others to the amount of future net sales, operating costs and finance costs. The Group's ability to generate taxable income depends also on factors related to general economy, finance, competitiveness and regulations that the Group is unable to control. These estimates and assumptions are subject to risk and uncertainty, hence it is possible that changes in circumstances will alter expectations, which may impact the amount of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities recognized on the balance sheet and the amount of other tax losses and temporary differences not yet recognized.
The Group's management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. The amount of current income tax liabilities for identified uncertain tax positions is recognized when it is probable that certain tax positions will be challenged and may not be fully sustained upon review by tax authorities.
The gross movement on the deferred tax account is as follows:
| EUR thousand | 2019 | 2018 |
|---|---|---|
| As at 1 of January | -110 | -354 |
| Recognized in profit or loss | -116 | 424 |

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 2.4 to the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying financial statements.

We have also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls. This includes consideration of whether there was evidence of management bias that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.
| Key Audit Matter | How our audit addressed the Key Audit Matter |
|---|---|
| Revenue recognition | |
| We refer to the Group's accounting principles and the note 2.1. |
The consolidated revenues of Robit amounted to 86 million euros in the financial year 2019. The Group focuses on revenue as a key performance measure which could create the incentive for revenue to be recognized too early. Revenue on product sales is recognized when a promised good has been transferred to a customer. Revenue recognition was a key audit matter because of the risk of correct timing of revenue recognition (cut off).
This matter was also a significant risk of material misstatement referred to in EU Regulation No 537/2014, point (c) of Article 10(2). | Our audit procedures to address the risk of material misstatement relating to revenue recognition included, among others:
• We assessed the reasonableness of the Group's accounting policies over revenue recognition and compliance with applicable accounting standards.
• We assessed the process and methods for revenue recognition.
• We tested the recorded sales transactions during the year against underlying documents on a sample basis.
• We tested the sales cut off on either side of the balance sheet date on a sample basis.
• We obtained confirmations of open accounts receivable balances at year end from customers and analyzed credit invoices issued after the balance sheet date.
• We performed analytical procedures on revenues.
• We considered the appropriateness of the Group's disclosures in respect of revenues. |
| Goodwill valuation
We refer to the Group's accounting principles and the note 3.2.
At the balance sheet date, the value of goodwill amounted to 5 million euros representing 5 % of total assets and 11 % of total equity. Goodwill valuation was a key audit matter because the impairment testing imposes estimates and judgment. The Group management uses assumptions in respect of determining weighted average cost of capital and future market and economic conditions such as economic growth, revenue and margin developments.
This matter was also a significant risk of material misstatement referred to in EU Regulation No 537/2014, point (c) of Article 10(2). | Our audit procedures to address the risk of material misstatement relating to goodwill valuation included, among others:
• We involved our valuation specialists to assist us in evaluating the assumptions and methodologies used by the Group in the testing, in particular those related to the determination of weighted average cost of capital.
• We focused on the sensitivity in the available headroom by cash generating unit and whether any reasonably possible change in assumptions could cause the carrying amount to exceed its recoverable amount. We tested the allocation of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses to each of the cash generating units.
• We assessed retrospectively the outcome of the management's historical estimates.
• We considered the appropriateness of the Group's disclosures in respect of impairment testing. |

|---|---|
| Valuation of trade receivables | |
| We refer to the Group's accounting principles and the notes 4.4, 4.6 and 5.3. |
Valuation of trade receivables was a key audit matter because of the significance of overdue trade receivables to the financial statements as a whole. As of balance sheet date December 31, 2019, the carrying value of trade receivables amounted to 18 million euros. Carrying value of trade receivables is a result of gross receivables, which is netted by a provision for credit losses. Valuation of trade receivables requires management to estimate the amount of expected credit losses for the provision for credit losses. | We performed, among others, the following audit procedures:
• We evaluated the valuation methods applied on valuation of trade receivables as well as performed analyses of overdue and undue gross receivable balance development and corresponding movement in credit loss provision during the year.
• We sent receivable balance confirmation requests to the Group's customers and compared trade receivable balances to subsequent cash receipts.
• We analysed management's estimates of expected credit losses of the most significant aged and overdue receivables considering historical payment patterns as well as recent communications with the counterparties and dunning procedures.
• We considered the appropriateness of the Group's disclosures in respect of trade receivables. |
Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director for the Financial Statements
The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU, and of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the laws and regulations governing the preparation of financial statements in Finland and comply with statutory requirements. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are also responsible for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for assessing the parent company's and the group's ability to continue as going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting. The financial statements are prepared using the going concern basis of accounting unless there is an intention to liquidate the parent company or the group or cease operations, or there is no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance on whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with good auditing practice will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with good auditing practice, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the parent company's or the group's internal control.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
- Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors' and the Managing Director's use of the going concern basis of accounting and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the parent company's or the group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the parent company or the group to cease to continue as a going concern.
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events so that the financial statements give a true and fair view.
- Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
