ROBIT IN BRIEF COMPANY BUSINESS SUSTAINABILITY INVESTORS THE REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Market Overview
Drilling tools manufactured and supplied by Robit are used for the needs of the mining, quarrying and forepoling, underground construction and well drilling industries.
Market demand remained at a good level in the mining sector during 2024, but the expected turnaround in demand in the construction sector did not materialise. Demand in the construction industry was weak throughout the year. Demand for exploration drilling also weakened. In a challenging market, the company managed to increase sales in both Top Hammer and Geotechnical businesses. The decline in net sales was entirely driven by Down the Hole business, which suffered from weak demand in the construction industry and the expiry of a major supply contract during 2024, which could not be fully replaced with new customers.
Robit's present market share, competitive products, extensive geographical coverage and the steady demand typical of drilling tools ensure good opportunities for Robit to grow by gaining market share from other operators in the industry. This means focusing resources more specifically on selected target markets. In addition, the company expects the overall market for drilling tools to grow beyond economic cycles by approximately 3–5 percent per year.
AMERICAS
Net sales in the Americas decreased by 8.1 per cent in 2024. The decline was mainly due to the mining industry in South America, where customer acquisition did not progress as planned. In North America, net sales remained stable.
Robit experienced growth in the Geotechnical segment in the region. The company had among others significant Geotechnical deliveries for a large port project in the Caribbean. The distributor network also strengthened during the year, especially in the strategically important US quarrying and construction segment.
EMEA & EAST
EMEA & East sales activity is divided into four main regions: the Nordic countries, Central Europe, Middle East and Africa, and East. In 2024, demand in the construction industry was low, especially in the Nordic countries and Central Europe, which are important construction industry markets for Robit.
Despite the weak market conditions, the company was able to increase sales in the Geotechnical business, which focuses on the construction industry. On the other hand, in the well drilling segment, which is important for the company's Down the Hole business, sales declined sharply, due to the weak market. In Southern Africa, the company won several new customers and grew in the region during 2024. In the East region, the company's sales also grew clearly from the previous year, even though the company does not sell to Russia or Russian customers.

EMEA & EAST
ASIA
AUSTRALASIA
ASIA
In the Asia region, Robit focuses on the construction industry, especially tunnelling and mining. The construction industry's relative share of net sales is higher in Asia than in the company's other markets. The poor demand in the construction industry contributed negatively to net sales in Asia. The company's sales remained stable in the region, growing by 0.6 per cent.
In South Korea, an important market for Robit, market activity for construction projects was weak and this negatively impacted the company's net sales. In the rest of Asia, Robit's net sales increased, and the company succeeded in strengthening its position in the market. Robit continued its active cooperation with its distributors to increase market share and customer coverage.
AUSTRALASIA
Robit's business in the Australasia region is mainly focused on mining. The market demand situation was good for production drilling, but the market for exploration drilling was weaker than in the previous year. Net sales in the region increased slightly thanks to new customers. The new customers were mainly underground mines that use Top Hammer drilling tools.
In the region, a major supply contract in Down the Hole expired at the end of June, which weakened sales in the second half of the year. The company has several potential sales opportunities in the region, particularly in underground mines, which are among the company's strategic priorities.

CEO's Review
Market demand remained at a good level in the mining sector during 2024, but the expected turnaround in demand in the construction sector did not materialise. Demand in the construction industry was weak throughout the year. Demand for exploration drilling also weakened during the year. Orders received totalled EUR 88.8 million (93.0), down by 4.4 per cent from 2023. The company's net sales declined by 2.8 per cent to EUR 90.3 million (92.9). In a challenging market condition, we managed to grow both our Top Hammer and Geotechnical businesses. The decline in net sales was entirely driven by Down the Hole, which suffered from weak demand in the construction industry and the expiry of a major supply contract during 2024, which could not be fully replaced with new customers.
Net sales in the Top Hammer business increased by 5.0 per cent. Growth was strong in the Australasia region thanks to several new customers. Net sales also increased in the EMEA region. Growth was driven in particular by underground mines. We also launched a new Robit® Extreme Carbide drill bit range, providing customers longer bit lifetime and improved penetration of drill bits.
Down the Hole net sales decreased by 29.1 per cent, reflecting the expiry of a major supply contract, which could not be fully replaced with new customers and continued low demand in the business's key well drilling and exploration drilling segments. During the year, we launched a new modular Robit® H series DTH hammer family, giving customers better drilling speeds and savings in energy consumption. The hammer family was well received by customers, which will allow sales to strengthen during 2025.
In the Geotechnical business, net sales grew by 4.2 per cent. Growth was particularly strong in the Americas region, where the company made efforts to strengthen sales. Overall, market demand in the Geotechnical segment was at a low level. We managed to win the important projects that enable us to grow, even in a weaker market.
In a challenging market condition, we managed to grow both our Top Hammer and Geotechnical businesses.
Arto Halonen
Group CEO
The company's priority for 2024 was to increase profitability. We renewed the supply chain and manufacturing structure for Down the Hole products, continued to implement procurement savings projects and launched new, more competitive products. Thanks to these measures, we managed to significantly improve the company's EBIT profitability to EUR 2.5 million (0.1). High freight costs, especially in the second and third quarters of the year, had an impact on the company's profitability. In the last quarter of the year, we managed to bring costs back down to a lower level, and this was positively reflected in results for the last quarter.
Net cash flow from the company's operations was EUR 1.5 million (8.3). Improved profitability strengthened cash flow, but working capital was tied up during the year, which weakened cash flow. Inventories increased by EUR 4.2 million. Due to longer transport times, inventories were increased to secure deliveries to customers. The company's product availability improved towards the end of the year, which was reflected in lower freight costs.
Work to achieve sustainability goals continued
Robit's sustainability work focuses on four key themes: sustainable partnerships, reducing CO2 emissions in the value chain, a happy and healthy workplace and efficiency throughout the product lifecycle. We made good progress in many areas. We took a major step forward in reducing emissions intensity. In 2024, we were 39.6 per cent below the base year of 2020. We increased our use of zero-emission energy sources, which reduced the company's overall emissions.
Back on the growth track
We have worked systematically to strengthen our competitiveness and renew our product range. In 2024, we managed to grow in two of our three businesses. The main objective the 2025 is to put Down the Hole business back on a growth path. We expect the market situation to remain unchanged until early 2025.
We also launched a new Robit® Extreme Carbide drill bit range, providing customers longer bit lifetime and improved penetration of drill bits.

(change +5.0%)
Top Hammer drilling is predominantly used in mining, earthworks, and rock quarrying. Top Hammer business includes rock drilling tools and services, particularly in the mining sector. Mining is the largest market for Top Hammer, and there has been significant growth in underground mining within Robit's Top Hammer business in recent years across the world.
The year 2024 marked a year of growth and laid the foundation for future growth. Top Hammer business achieved a growth of 5.0 per cent compared to 2023 totalling EUR 57.1 million. Ambitions are high for 2025, with a particular focus on expanding within the distribution market. In 2024, the company launched the Robit® QuickSave program, a tool designed to identify value for Robit's customers. Robit® QuickSave program will continue to be deployed throughout 2025, helping the company to attract more customers in both distribution and direct markets.
In 2024, the Top Hammer business grew in Australasia where the mining market continued growing. Asia also contributed to this growth, with several distributors engaging in mining activities, acquiring new customers, and seizing opportunities. Additionally, the East region posted positive numbers, primarily driven by Kazakhstan.
Net Sales in EMEA declined, primarily due to sales decline in West Africa and the Middle East. In North America, a significant mining customer reduced operations due to low ore concentration. On the positive side, activity in Canada increased.
In South America, the region faced a decrease, mainly because a large customer contract expired.
In 2024, Robit launched several Premium products aimed at increasing lifespan in tougher conditions. These innovations are driven by more demanding rock conditions and customer demands for longer life, productivity, and sustainability. Robit® Extreme Carbides have shown superior durability in hard and abrasive rock conditions. In 2025, Robit will continue to expand Robit® Extreme Carbide offering, so that the mining customers can benefit from these high-quality carbides.
To complement Robit® Extreme Carbide offering, Robit upgraded C51 rods to premium shoulder driven RG51 system and will expand premium rods also to C45 product group. The RG shoulder system with the Robit® Extreme Carbide have become the new standard in Northern Europe. The increased lifetime from the company's premium carbides and rods gives also the benefit for more sustainable drilling: increased lifetime will mean less consumption, which will support in the savings of CO2 emissions from production and logistics. Additionally, straighter holes – thanks to the shoulder system – enhance sustainability by enabling more efficient blasting and reducing the energy needed for secondary breaking.
Year ended with several key trials underway that are crucial for Robit in both direct and distributor markets. The overall market demand for the year is expected to remain positive in the mining segment. Robit will focus on seeking growth in distributor markets, where there are many great opportunities for expansion worldwide.

(change: 29.1%)
Robit's Down the Hole business engineers and manufactures percussive-rotary hammers and drill bits for drilling in open pit mining and quarrying environment, as well as in well drilling applications. The product offering is made up of a select range of Down the Hole hammers and drill bits.
Robit Down the Hole products are primarily used for drill and blast hole production on mine sites and aggregates production drilling in rock quarries. Robit Down the Hole hammers and bits are also used for drilling geothermal wells and water well boreholes. Robit RC hammers and bits are used for minerals exploration in new mining ventures and for mineral ore grade control in existing mining operations.
The main markets for drill and blast in open pit mining and quarrying are found in North and South America, Southern and Western Africa, and Australasia, whereas in addition to the above the primary markets for well drilling also include Europe. The demand for Robit Down the Hole drilling tools in these business segments can be seen the highest in areas with very hard and abrasive rock combined with varying ground conditions, often in extreme environments. In less demanding, softer ground conditions the customer base often has the option to use other drilling methods such as non-percussive rotary or tri-cone drill bits, which are not in the company's offering.
In 2024 Robit's Down the Hole net sales experienced a decline of 29.1 per cent compared to 2023 totalling MEUR 14.8 million. In one of the company's largest markets, Australasia,
Robit encountered a significant decrease in sales due to the termination of a major supply contract, which could not be fully replaced with new customers. Also, weak demand in construction and exploration drilling segments impacted negatively net sales in Down the Hole business. The company continued to counter declined sales by focusing on winning new mining contractor accounts in Southern Africa as well as key distributors especially in North America to revitalize growth.
Robit completed the streamlining of the company's drill bit offering during 2024 by focusing on the higher volume items and reducing overlapping engineering designs. The company managed to cut the number of active items to approximately one third from the starting level during the second development phase. This action will improve the networking capital management of the Down the Hole business in 2025.
Following the successful launch of the new Robit® 4"H series modular hammer globally in the beginning of 2024, the H series hammer family was expanded by the 5", 6" and 8" sizes during the second and third quarters of 2024. The product range was launched in MINExpo exhibition in Las Vegas in September, followed by the Drill24 conference in Perth, Australia in October. This ground-breaking Down the Hole hammer solution has already proven to provide the customer base more operational flexibility in varying drilling conditions than seen before and will be the key in vastly improving growth and profitability of Robit's Down the Hole business.
The end of 2024 saw Robit further streamlining its Down

the Hole hammer offering by commencing the migration of the legacy Halco sales channel and customers from the previous generation hammers to the new H series modular hammer family. This transition is expected to be completed during 2025, offering the Robit's distribution sales channel a harmonized offering with a significantly improved level of availability.
The drill and blast drilling market continues to be robustly driven by all large-scale surface mining activities as well as the aggregate production quarrying globally. These two segments are expected to develop at a steady rate during the next few years, although demand in construction remains still weak. The primary decision-making drivers for product selection will increasingly
focus on product cost per drilled metre and specifically focusing on increased rate of penetration whilst minimizing drilling time, creating significant cost savings in the production drilling operations. Water well and especially geothermal well boreholes are expected to reach deeper in the near future, supporting a continuing increase in demand for more high-quality drilling tools in this segment. Robit is well positioned to deliver customer right solutions to these needs.
Robit's focus on Down the Hole will be to gain market share in its focus geographical market areas. This growth will be expected to be realized through both direct sales markets as well as especially through key distributor development and cooperation.

Following the successful launch of the new Robit® 4" H series modular hammer globally in the beginning of 2024, the H series hammer family was expanded by the 5", 6" and 8" sizes during the second and third quarters of 2024.

Robit's drilling tools are used to build essential infrastructure, such as bridges, arenas, factories, piers and housing in the most demanding conditions. The company operates with foundation professionals all over the world and offers world-class solutions and services for its customers. Robit's main strategic focus regions in Geotechnical business are in Nordics and North America.
Geotechnical business grew even though the Nordic housing and geothermal market was extremely weak compared to previous years. In Nordic countries a decent level of infrastructure and industrial building projects contributed most of the result. Also, national defense related investments affected positively to markets.
Robit's growth in North America continued as per strategic focus and this is a market where the company continues to seek for more market share and continuous business. In other regions Robit saw some positive development in Asia and South America which will be targeted also in 2025 next year.
Robit's research and development efforts are consistently enabling the company to bring new products to the market with outstanding performance achieved with less steel thus saving energy and natural resources. Robit has a healthy pipeline

In 2024, Robit had several large customer projects which will work for the company's benefit as references for future opportunities. Among other projects Robit delivered the largest drilling system it has ever made which drilled successfully in a customer project in Western Canada.
Outlook for 2025 will be dependent on the cycles of construction and infrastructure markets in North America and Nordic countries. Geotechnical business is typically in the frontline of the cycles meaning that higher activities in e.g. new Nordic housing projects would affect the company's demand almost immediately.

Robit's suppliers are asked to commit to Robit's sustainable supply chain procedures, and sustainability issues are taken into account in audits of suppliers and subcontractors.

| KPI | Target | Result 2024 | 2023 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Our target is to have minimum of 90% of our supplier spend coming from suppliers who have committed to Robit's supply chain policy. | 90% | 97% | 99% |
| Our target is to have at least 90% of our distributors, measured by sales volume, commit to Robit's ESG principles. | 90% | 84% | 86% |
CO2 emission reduction in our value chain
Robit has identified CO2 reduction as one key focus area of sustainability. There are possibilities to affect CO2 emissions by making changes in the company's own operations. However, it is also recognised that there is potential for improvement by influencing indirect effects and external stakeholders.
The emissions measured in the company's KPIs are caused by Robit's own operations. The company's 2020 carbon footprint (Scope 1 and 2) calculated according to Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol) Corporate Standard was 3,383 tCO2e corresponding to 36.9 tCO2e per million euro of net sales. While the emission intensity in 2024 was 39.6% below the 2020 level, it decreased from 2023. The concentration of production at fewer plants during 2024 improved the company's emissions intensity. In addition, the company implemented several smaller measures to support the achievement of the goal.
| KPI | Target | Result 2024 | 2023 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Robit is committed in reducing its Scope 1 and 2 CO2 intensity by 50% from the 2020 baseline by 2030. | - 50% | - 40% | - 26% |
Happy and healthy workplace
Robit wants to be a good employer and offer a healthy workplace for its employees. "Respect everyone" is one of Robit's values.
The annual personnel survey was conducted again in December 2024, and another slightly more limited personnel survey was conducted in summer 2024. A clear majority of the respondents felt that their team is ready to do more than expected if needed, and team spirit had improved. The respondents estimated that the company's direction and development had improved since the previous survey. Robit continually works to improve safety at work. Among other things, the company has an HSE team, and it also appointed an HSEQ manager during 2024 to coordinate the Group's safety activities. The lost-time injury frequency (LTIF) increased during the review period, as the company had three lost-time injuries during the year, compared to two in the previous year. The company significantly strengthened its proactive measures to improve safety. In 2024, a new record in the number of safety observations was again reached.

Responsible efficiency throughout the product lifecycle
The material efficiency of product design and production, as well as the aim to ensure the longevity of products in customer use, are key factors in Robit's sustainability work. Finding the product that is best suited to the job and using it efficiently has a significant impact on the service life of the product and the energy consumed by the drilling. Robit's personnel and distributors are continuously trained to aid customers' success. The training covers product features and guidance to customers in their efficient and effective use. Optimising the drilling operations of Robit's customers is especially conducive to efficiency. Energy consumption can be reduced and drilling efficiency increased by finding the best ways to use Robit's products and optimising use. Decisions made at the product design stage have a significant impact on drilling efficiency. In 2024, the company launched the Robit® QuickSave auditing software, which allows customers to demonstrate direct savings in drilling costs, including energy efficiency and fuel consumption reduction. In 2023, Robit launched the new H4 hammer, and in 2024, the product family was further expanded. H-series hammers can achieve up to 25 per cent improvement in fuel consumption, thus reducing emissions from drilling.
| KPI | Target | Result 2024 | 2023 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Robit is committed to providing at least 1,000 hours of consultative sales training to Robit's and its distributors sales and technical people annually. | 1000 h | 1170 h | 1919 h |
| Robit is committed to improving material efficiency in its internal operations. Robit has set a target of over 90% of waste recycling in its operations. | 90% | 86% | 88% |

Case:
Investments in personnel training
In 2024, Robit made significant investments in personnel training. Personnel were asked about their wishes regarding training, in development interviews and in annual personnel surveys. The company believes that these investments in training will improve the engagement of employees and help Robit to better serve its customers.
In line with its strategy, the company invested in building and implementing an internal training system. With this system, Robit can train all personnel in different subject areas and build training paths for new employees. Robit also invested in comprehensive sales training, which involves not only the entire sales organisation but also employees from other departments.
With the help of externally sourced training, Robit was able to comprehensively advance the skills of people across different levels of the organization.
The first Robit employees to complete the "Sales Masterclass" certification graduated in May 2024.

Market Outlook for 2025
Robit expects the global mining industry demand to remain at a good level. Demand in the construction industry is expected to remain low in the first half of the year, but the demand is expected to develop positively in the second half of the year.
Possible import duties and the risk of a trade war are increasing uncertainty about the development of the market.
Guidance for 2025
Robit expects net sales for 2025 and adjusted EBIT profitability in euros to improve from 2024.
Background to the guidance
The guidance is based on the assessment that demand in the mining industry will remain at a good level and that demand in the construction industry will develop positively in the second half of 2025. The guidance is based on the assumption that there will be no significant changes in exchange rates from the level at the end of 2024, and that the possible import duties will not significantly weaken the company's relative competitiveness in key markets.
The company estimates that the development of turnover will pick up as the year progresses, although the company expects the beginning of the year to start at a low level.
ROBIT
IN BRIEF COMPANY BUSINESS SUSTAINABILITY INVESTORS REPORT OF THE BOARD FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
CEO Arto Halonen
Market demand remained at a good level in the mining sector during 2024, but the expected turnaround in demand in the construction sector did not materialise. Demand in the construction industry was weak throughout the year. Demand for prospection drilling also weakened. Orders received totalled EUR 88.8 million (93.0), down by 4.4 per cent from 2023. Robit's net sales declined by 2.8 per cent to EUR 90.3 million (92.9). In a challenging market environment, we managed to grow both our Top Hammer and Geotechnical SBUs. The decline in net sales was entirely driven by Down the Hole, which suffered from weak demand in the construction industry and the expiry of a major supply contract during 2024, which could not be fully replaced with new customers.
In the last quarter of the year, the company's orders totalled EUR 19.6 million (22.3), a decrease of 12.3 per cent. Net sales for the review period were EUR 21.4 million (22.9). The company's net sales grew in the EMEA and Asia regions. In the EMEA region, the company managed to win several projects in the Geotechnical business, as well as to grow in the mining segment, especially in Africa. In addition, the company had new tunnel mining projects in both Europe and Asia. In the other market areas, net sales declined over the comparison period. Decision-making by customers was delayed in several projects. Customer demand was low in the construction, prospection drilling and well drilling segments at the end of the year.
The 2024 net sales in the Top Hammer business increased by 5.0 per cent. In the last quarter, net sales grew by 5.8 per cent. Growth was strong in the Australasia region thanks to several new customers. Net sales also increased in the EMEA region. Growth was driven in particular by underground mines. We also launched a new series of drill bits with Robit® Extreme Carbide studs, giving customers longer life and better penetration of drill bits.
Down the Hole net sales decreased by 29.1 per cent, reflecting the termination of a major supply contract, which could not be fully replaced with new customers and continued low demand in the business's key drilling and prospection segments. In the last quarter, net sales decreased by 49.9 per cent.
In the Geotechnical business, net sales grew by 4.2 per cent. In the last quarter, net sales grew by 2.8 per cent. Growth was particularly strong in the Americas region, where the company made efforts to strengthen sales. However, overall market demand in the Geotechnical segment was at a low level. We managed to win the important projects that enable us to grow, even in a weaker market.
During the year, we launched a new family of Robit® modular H-series hammers, giving customers better drilling speeds and savings in energy consumption. The product family has been very well received by customers, which will allow sales to grow during 2025.
Robit's priority for 2024 was to improve profitability. We revamped the supply chain and manufacturing structure for Down the Hole products, continued to implement procurement savings projects and launched new, more competitive products. Thanks to these measures, we managed to significantly improve the Group's EBIT profitability to EUR 2.5 million (0.0). High freight costs, especially in the second and third quarters of the year, had a significant impact on the company's profitability. In the last quarter of the year, we managed to bring costs back down to a lower level, and this was positively reflected in results for the last quarter. Comparable EBIT profitability in the last quarter of the year was 3.5 per cent of net sales (3.3).
Robit's net cash flow from operations in 2024 totalled EUR 1.5 million (8.3). Improved profitability strengthened cash flow, but working capital was tied up during the year, which weakened cash flow. Inventories increased by EUR 4.2 million. Due to longer transport times, inventories were increased in order to secure deliveries to customers. The company's product availability improved towards the end of the year, which was reflected in lower freight costs. Net cash inflow from business operations for the last quarter was EUR -1.6 million (7.0). Negative cash flow was particularly affected by the decrease in accounts payable during the quarter.
During the year, we worked systematically to improve our competitiveness and renew our product range. In 2024, we managed to grow in two of our three SBUs. The main objective for 2025 is to put the whole of Robit back on a path of growth. We expect the market situation to remain unchanged until early 2025, so growth will be based on increasing market share.

Sustainability
Robit's sustainability work focuses on four key themes: responsible partnerships, reducing carbon dioxide emissions in the value chain, a happy and healthy workplace, and efficiency throughout the product lifecycle. We made good progress in many areas. We took a major step forward in reducing emissions intensity. In 2024, we were 39.6 per cent below the base year of 2020. The positive development was influenced by the concentration of production at fewer production facilities during 2024 and the increased use of emission-free energy sources.

Risks and Business Uncertainties
Robit's risks and uncertainties are related to possible changes in the company's operating environment and global economic and political developments. The company's ability to manage and prevent these risks varies.
The development of the company's net sales and profitability is affected by the development of general market demand, especially in the construction industry, as well as the possible loss of customer relationships significant for the company.
Other uncertainty factors include the price and availability of financing, exchange rate development, the functioning of information systems, risks related to the security of supply and logistics, and IPR risks. Passing on the increase in raw material costs fully to customer prices may pose a financial risk. Changes in export countries' tax and customs legislation may adversely impact the company's export trade or its profitability. Risks related to information security and cyber threats may also have a detrimental effect on Robit's business. Potential changes in the business environment may adversely impact the payment behaviour of the Group's customers and increase the risk of litigation, legal claims and disputes related to Robit's products and other operations.

The figures presented in the financial statements are rounded and therefore the sum of individual figures may differ from the presented sum figure. Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group's subsidiaries are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the subsidiary operates ('the functional currency'). The Company's functional currency is euro, which is also the presentation currency of Robit's consolidated financial statements.
Parent company Robit Plc financial statements have been prepared according to Finnish Accounting Standards (FAS).
1.3 Management Judgement and Sources of Uncertainty

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, Goodwill and other 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. Some of these contracts involve consignment stocks. 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
Robit CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PARENT'S FINANCIAL STATEMENT AUDITOR'S REPORT DEFINITIONS OF KEY FIGURES
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.

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.
Bobit CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PARENT'S FINANCIAL STATEMENT AUDITOR'S REPORT DEFINITIONS OF KEY FIGURES
Robit's sales organization is divided into geographical regions (EMEA, Americas, Asia, Australasia and East). Three manufacturing units located in Finland, South Korea, and UK, are common resources for business operations, as well as an assembly station in Australia. 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 Geotechnical. The SBU's are structured around the different drilling technologies but they have substantial synergies in sales, manufacturing, and sourcing.
In the operating segments of Robit, similar characteristics are to be found to a significant extent. In its reporting, Robit combines all operational segments into one segment based on similar financial characteristics and similar qualitative capacities. In terms of the economic characteristics, the key figures of all operating segments follow industry changes in the same way and react to general economic changes in the same way. Similarly, the competitive risks, operational risks, currency risks and economic and political environment of all operating segments are identical.
2.2 Production's Materials and Services
Materials and services recognized as an expense during the financial year that ended 31 December 2024 amounted to EUR 59 963 thousand (2023: EUR 61 625 thousand).

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.
Bobit CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PARENT'S FINANCIAL STATEMENT AUDITOR'S REPORT DEFINITIONS OF KEY FIGURES
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 can 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 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 25 thousand for the financial period 2024 (2023: EUR 30 thousand). The liability related to long-service fee amounted to EUR 63 thousand as of 31 December 2024 (2023: EUR 82 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. During the financial year 2021, this arrangement changed from a benefit-based arrangement to a contribution-based arrangement. Expenses related to severance payment plan amounted to EUR 192 thousand for the financial period 2024 (2023: EUR 213 thousand). The employee benefit obligation recognized for severance payment plan amounted to EUR 22 thousand as of 31 December 2024 (2023: EUR 422 thousand).

3 Acquisitions and intangible assets
3.1 Goodwill & Impairment Testing
Accounting policies
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 company has reorganized its Down the Hole business and divided it into two separate business units from the beginning of 2023, Down the Hole business and Geotechnical business. The goodwill allocated to the Down the Hole business has been reallocated on January 1, 2023 in the same proportion as the values in use of the businesses have been distributed to the Down the Hole and Geotechnical businesses. In addition, the company has reorganized its business, and significant efficiency and cost benefits are expected in production and the supply chain. The company has terminated production at its Australian factory during 2023. The company has three cash-flow generating units (Top Hammer, Down the Hole and Geotechnical) from the beginning of 2023.
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

The goodwill of Top Hammer cash-generating unit has been tested for impairment as of December 31, 2024. The values used for the goodwill testing and their impact are presented in the table below.
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 12 447 thousand, which represents 28% 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 determine values |
|---|---|
| Net sales growth | The cumulative annual growth rate for the revenue is expected to be 10.3% (2023: 10.1%) during the three-year forecast period. Net sales are expected to increase since the company has strengthened its distribution network, has been able to win multi-year mine contracts, and has strengthened its product offering. |
| EBITDA-margin | Average EBITDA-margin is expected to be 12.2% (2023: 14.6%) during the three-year forecasting period. The long-term EBITDA is expected to be 13.8% (2023: 15.6%) 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% (2023: 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 15.7% (2023: 16.5%). 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, Top Hammer 2024 | From | To |
|---|---|---|
| Average EBITDA-margin during the three-year forecast period | 12.2% | 2.9% |
| Average EBITDA-margin (exceeding the three-year forecasting period) | 13.8% | 10.8% |
| Pre-tax discount rate | 15.7% | 19.7% |

The goodwill of Geotechnical cash-generating unit has been tested for impairment as of December 31, 2024.
The values used for the goodwill testing and their impact are presented in the table below.
Based on the assumptions below, the recoverable amount of the Geotechnical cash-generating unit is estimated to exceed the carrying amount of tested net assets by EUR 5 160 thousand, which represents 60% of the carrying amount of the tested assets.
Management has determined the values for key assumptions used in the impairment testing of the Geotechnical cash-generating unit as follows:
| Assumption | Approach used to determine values |
|---|---|
| Net sales growth | The cumulative annual growth rate for the revenue is expected to be 6.8% (2023: 7.4%). during the three-year forecast period. Net sales are expected to increase since the company has strengthened its distribution network and has strengthened the product offering. |
| EBITDA-margin | Average EBITDA-margin is expected to be 10.5% (2023: 12.5%) during the three-year forecasting period. The long-term EBITDA is expected to be 12.2% (2023: 14.4%) 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% (2023: 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 14.9% (2023: 16.3%). This reflects the specific risks relating to Geotechnical business and the countries in which it operates. |

The goodwill of Down the Hole cash-generating unit has been tested for impairment as of December 31, 2024.
The values used for the goodwill testing and their impact are presented in the table below.
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 3 517 thousand, which represents 31.2% 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 determine values |
|---|---|
| Net sales growth | The cumulative annual growth rate for the revenue is expected to be 14.4% (2023: 8.8%) during the three-year forecast period. Net sales are expected to increase since the company has strengthened its distribution network, has been able to win multi-year mine contracts, and has strengthened its product offering. |
| EBITDA-margin | Average EBITDA-margin is expected to be 9.5% (2023: 8.5%) during the three-year forecasting period. The long-term EBITDA is expected to be 11.4% (2023: 11.9%) 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% (2023: 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 15.4% (2023: 16.2%). This reflects the specific risks relating to Down the Hole business and the countries in which it operates. |

3.2 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.

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 2023 | 21 127 592 |

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 of 31 December 2024 or 2023.
| 1 Jan – 31 Dec 2024 | 1 Jan – 31 Dec 2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| Profit attributable to the owners of the parent company (euros) | 1 098 597 | -3 048 164 |

| Basic and diluted earnings per share | 0.05 | -0.14 |
4.3 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.

ROBIT CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PARENT'S FINANCIAL STATEMENT AUDITOR'S REPORT DEFINITIONS OF KEY FIGURES
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.
Loans from credit institutions
A credit facility, totalling EUR 23.6 million, of which EUR 19.5 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. The mentioned certain exceptions apply to guarantees provided for Robit Korea's loans. Additionally, Robit 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 not to exceed 3.5
According to the financing agreement, the ratio of net liabilities to EBITDA at the time of review of the covenant terms as of 31 December 2024 may not exceed 3.50. In accordance with the terms of the financing agreement, the main financier could demand full repayment of the loan if the covenant conditions are breached. The covenant of Robit Plc's financing agreement, interest-bearing net debt/EBITDA, was 2.87 and thus has met the terms of the financing agreement on 31 December 2024. The terms of the financing agreement are reviewed quarterly.
Robit amortized its loans by EUR 1.5 million at the end of June 2024, and again EUR 1.5 million at the end of December. The interest margin of the loans as of 31 December 2024 is 1.75%. Robit has EUR 9.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and EUR 5.9 million in other financial assets at its disposal on December 31, 2024, and according to the company's management's estimate, will be able to meet its loan amortization obligations and liquidity requirements according to the plan.
Other loans from financial institutions includes mainly variable rate bank loans. Information regarding guarantees for the loans can be found in note 4.7.
Bank overdrafts
The Group had EUR 105 thousand liability as of 31 December 2024 (2023: EUR 0 thousand) related to its credit facility agreement including a Finnish overdraft account. The limit of the bank overdraft on 31 December 2024 was EUR 6 000 thousand (2023: 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", "Other financial assets", "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.
Derivatives
The Group uses derivative contracts to hedge interest rate risk. Derivative contracts are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivative contracts are recognized in financial items through profit or loss, unless they are designated as hedging instruments, in which case they are hedged in accordance with hedge accounting.
Hedge accounting can be used to reduce the volatility due to fair value measurement in the income statement. In this case, the asymmetry between the hedging instrument and the hedged item is eliminated when both affect the income statement simultaneously. When starting a hedging relationship subject to hedge accounting, the Group prepares a determination of the hedging relationship. the objective of risk management and the strategy for taking hedging.

Loan receivables
Loan receivables previously reported as share loan receivables amounted to EUR 61 thousand as of 31 December 2024 (2023: EUR 90 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. In connection with the 2020 long term incentive plan and share issuance to key personnel, the company granted loans for the payment of share subscription. The payment period for these loans is 8 years and the interest rate is 12-month Euribor plus a margin of 0.99%. 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 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.
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.

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
Foreign exchange risk
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in the functional currency against the quote currency, with all other variables held constant, of the Group's profit before tax and equity due to changes in the fair value of financial assets and liabilities. A reasonably possible change is assumed to be a 10% functional currency appreciation or depreciation against the quote currency. A change of a different magnitude can also be estimated reasonably accurately because the sensitivity is nearly linear.

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. During the presented periods, the Group's borrowings at variable rate were denominated in Euro and South Korean Won.
On 31 December 2024, 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 117 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. The interest position includes all external variable rate interest-bearing liabilities.

(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 2024 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-24 | 31-Dec-23 |
|---|---|---|
| Not due | 12 719 | 12 030 |
| Overdue by | ||
| Less than 30 days | 1 187 | 1 474 |
| 30-60 days | 709 | 487 |
| 61-90 days | 331 | 63 |
| More than 90 days | 709 | 1 243 |
| Total | 15 655 | 15 297 |
The Group only has 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.
Based on this, entries reducing the carrying amount of trade receivables were made, amounting to EUR 590 thousand in the end of financial year 2024 and EUR 702 thousand in the end of financial year 2023. 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 weekly to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs while always maintaining sufficient headroom on its undrawn committed facilities. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 9 040 thousand as of 31 December 2024 (2023: EUR 12 829 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 2021 are monitored regularly. 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 adjusted EBITDA ratio was defined to be 3.5 on 31 December 2024 review date. The covenant of Robit Oyj's financing agreement, interest-bearing net debt/EBITDA, was 2.90 and thus all terms of the financing agreement have been fulfilled as of 31 December 2024.
The Group's equity ratio 50.7% as of 31 December 2024 (2023: 48.5%) 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 per 31 December 2024, EUR 73 622 thousand (2023 EUR 77 836 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 cover 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, which are the covenant terms according to Robit Plc's financing agreement. The equity ratio is calculated as shareholders' equity divided by total assets less advances received. The company has agreed with its main financier that Other financial assets are included in the calculation of Net liabilities.
The capital structure can be affected, among other things, by the dividend distribution and share issues. If necessary, Robit can acquire own shares and issue new shares in accordance with mandates by General Meeting. The Group's equity ratio was 50.7 (2023: 48.5) per cent and the ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA was 2.90 as of 31 December 2024, calculated as per the covenant terms of the financing agreement of the parent company.
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.
Key judgements and estimates
The group follows a guideline based on the IFRS 16 standard for determining the lease period. In determining the expected rental period, the financial effects of sanctions included in rental agreements, for example related to early termination of the agreement, have been considered. The options to extend and terminate the rental period have been considered when defining the length of the rental period according to the standard guidelines. The extension option is included in the rental period if it is reasonably certain that the extension option will be used, and correspondingly, if it is reasonably certain that the termination option will not be used, the period covered by the option is included in the rental period. When the contract includes a lease component and, in addition, a non-lease contract component, the group separates non-lease contract components, such as maintenance, services, etc., at the separate prices mentioned in the lease contracts or based on an estimate.

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.

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 1 280 thousand. The increase of the provision was EUR 248 thousand and the release EUR 454 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.

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-24 | 31-Dec-23 |
|---|---|---|
| Account receivables | 15 655 | 15 297 |

*Incl. mainly VAT receivables EUR 1 532 thousand on 31 December 2024 (EUR 847 thousand on 31 December 2023).
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 | 31-Dec-24 | 31-Dec-23 |

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.
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-24 | 31-Dec-23 |

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.

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 2024 | 1 Jan - 31 Dec 2023 |
|---|---|---|
| Included in EBIT/operating profit | 628 | -1 086 |

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.

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.

Auditor's Report (Translation of the Finnish Original)
To the Annual General Meeting of Robit Oyj
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinion
In our opinion
- the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the group's financial position, financial performance and cash flows in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU
- the financial statements give a true and fair view of the parent company's financial performance and financial position in accordance with the laws and regulations governing the preparation of financial statements in Finland and comply with statutory requirements.
Our opinion is consistent with the additional report to the Audit Committee.
What we have audited
We have audited the financial statements of Robit Oyj (business identity code 0825627-0) for the year ended 31 December 2024. The financial statements comprise:
- the consolidated balance sheet, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity, statement of cash flows and notes, which include material accounting policy information and other explanatory information
- the parent company's balance sheet, income statement, cash flow statement and notes.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with good auditing practice in Finland. Our responsibilities under good auditing practice are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Independence
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.
To the best of our knowledge and belief, the non-audit services that we have provided to the parent company and group companies are in accordance with the applicable law and regulations in Finland and we have not provided non-audit services that are prohibited under Article 5(1) of Regulation (EU) No 537/2014. The non-audit services that we have provided are disclosed in note 2.4 to the Financial Statements.

Our Audit Approach
Overview

- Overall group materiality: € 0.9 million, which represents approximately 1% of the group's total revenue.
- In addition to the parent company, the scope of the audit of the consolidated financial statements included all significant companies with production facilities and specified audit procedures in selected sales companies, covering the majority of the group's revenue, assets and liabilities.
- Revenue recognition cut-off
- Valuation of goodwill
- Inventory existence
As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risks of material misstatement in the financial statements. In particular, we considered where management made subjective judgements; for example, in respect of significant accounting estimates that involved making assumptions and considering future events that are inherently uncertain.
Materiality
The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. An audit is designed to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered material if individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements.
Based on our professional judgement, we determined certain quantitative thresholds for materiality, including the overall group materiality for the consolidated financial statements as set out in the table below. These, together with qualitative considerations, helped us to determine the scope of our audit and the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements on the financial statements as a whole.

| Overall group materiality | € 0.9 million (previous year € 0.9 million) |
|---|---|
| How we determined it | Approximately 1% of the group’s total revenue |
| Rationale for the materiality benchmark applied | We chose total revenue as the benchmark because, in our view, it is the benchmark against which the performance of the group is most commonly measured by users and is a generally accepted benchmark. Revenue, in our opinion, provides a more stable basis for defining materiality. |
How we tailored our group audit scope
We tailored the scope of our audit, taking into account the structure of the Robit Group, the accounting processes and controls, and the industry in which the group operates.
In addition to the parent company, the scope of the audit of the consolidated financial statements included all significant companies with production facilities and specified audit procedures in selected sales companies, covering the majority of the group's revenue, assets and liabilities. Through the audit procedures performed in the above-mentioned reporting units, as well as the additional audit procedures we performed at the group level, we have acquired a sufficient amount of appropriate audit evidence from the group's financial information as a whole to form the basis of our opinion on the consolidated financial statements.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
As in all of our audits, we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including among other matters consideration of whether there was evidence of bias that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.
| Key audit matter in the audit of the group | How our audit addressed the key audit matter |
|---|---|
| Revenue recognition cut-off | |
| Refer to accounting principles and note 2.1 of the consolidated financial statements | Our audit procedures included, for example, the following procedures: |
| The group’s net sales mainly consist of the sale of consumable parts for drilling equipment worldwide. The most important products of the drilling equipment are drill bits and casing systems. | • We assessed the appropriateness of the accounting principles applied to revenue recognition and compared them against the applicable accounting standards. |
| The time of recording revenue is determined based on the conditions related to the sales contracts. From the point of view of the recording date, the key conditions are the delivery condition and the customer’s approval | • We audited the cut-off in sales by auditing the sales transactions recorded before and after the balance sheet date. |
| • Based on the terms and conditions of sales contracts and delivery documents, or reports |

procedure. Revenue is recorded when control over the products has been transferred to the customer.
We believe that business transactions that take place near the end of the financial year include the risk associated with a cut-off in revenue recognition, so that business transactions would be prematurely recorded in an earlier financial year.
generated from the system, we obtained evidence to support that revenue recognition has taken place in a timely manner.
- We audited individual accrued sales transactions and accounts receivable balances included in the balance sheet at the financial statement date.
Valuation of goodwill
Refer to accounting principles and note 3.1 of the consolidated financial statements
On 31 December 2024 the Group's goodwill balance amounted to EUR 5.6 million. Goodwill and intangible rights with indefinite lives are allocated to the cash-generating units.
The Company tests goodwill for potential impairment whenever there is an indication that the carrying value may be impaired and at least once a year.
The recoverable amounts are determined using the value in use model. Value in use calculations are subject to significant management judgement with respect to cash flows forecasts and discount rates.
Valuation of goodwill is a key audit matter due to the significance of the balance sheet amount and the high degree of management judgement involved.
Our audit procedures included, for example, the following procedures:
- We assessed the methodology applied in the value in use calculation by comparing it to the requirements of IAS 36, Impairment of Assets, and testing the mathematical accuracy of calculations.
- We evaluated the process by which the future cash flow forecasts were determined for the value in use model and compared the forecasts to the budgets approved by the Board of Directors.
- We assessed the reasonableness of cash flow forecasts, for example, by comparing the accuracy of prior period revenue growth and operating profit forecasts to actual outcomes.
- We considered whether the sensitivity analysis performed by the management around key assumptions was appropriate.
- The discount rates applied within the model were assessed by PwC corporate valuation specialists.
- We assessed the adequacy and the appropriateness of the disclosures in the financial statements.
Inventory existence
Refer to accounting principles and note 5.2 of the consolidated financial statements
The group's inventory is EUR 40.2 million. Inventories mainly consist of raw materials and finished products, such as drill bits, drill rods and casing systems, as well as hammer components and assembled hammers.
In the audit, we focused on the risk that the inventory's existence would include a material
Our audit procedures included, for example, the following procedures:
- We assessed the appropriateness of the inventory processes of the group's inventory.
- We participated in inventory calculations of inventory locations calculated at once.
- In terms of cycle count inventories:
- we participated in inventory calculation,
- we examined the calculation

misstatement.
documentation of the cycle count inventory, as well as
- we evaluated the coverage of the company's own cycle count calculations.
- We requested confirmations of inventory quantities from warehouses maintained by external operators.
- We compared the calculated quantities of inventory lists and from the received inventory confirmations with the quantities of inventory accounting and evaluated inventory differences.
We have no key audit matters to report with respect to our audit of the parent company financial statements.
There are no significant risks of material misstatement referred to in Article 10(2c) of Regulation (EU) No 537/2014 with respect to the consolidated financial statements or the parent company financial statements.
Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director for the Financial Statements
The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU, and of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the laws and regulations governing the preparation of financial statements in Finland and comply with 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 a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting. The financial statements are prepared using the going concern basis of accounting unless there is an intention to liquidate the parent company or the group or to cease operations, or there is no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with good auditing practice will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these 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.
- Plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business units within the group as a basis for forming an opinion on the group financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and review of the audit work performed for purposes of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to 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.
