RTX Annual Report 2020/21

Letter from the Chair & the CEO

Rebounding after a Challenging Year

COVID-19 affected demand in the first part of 2020/21, while global supply chain impediments impacted the second part of 2020/21. The demand situation is normalizing rapidly and we see this as proof that the strategic direction of RTX is sound and that the future growth opportunities are intact.

2020/21 was a disappointing year for RTX. Revenue declined by 18% compared to last year and reached DKK 457 million. Revenue was negatively impacted by COVID-19 reducing customer demand in the first part of the year and by component scarcity and logistic impediments in the second part of the year. Part of the decline in revenue was attributable to the weaker US dollar - corrected for the dollar development the decrease was 13% compared to last year.

The shortfall in revenue adversely affected earnings and EBITDA declined by 66% to DKK 37 million while EBIT declined by 93% to DKK 6 million. Going into 2020/21, a larger than usual uncertainty regarding the

year was expected and communicated in the outlook for the year. The financial results were within the updated outlook for the year, but below the original expectations set out at the beginning of the financial year.

Demand recovering strongly

Especially in the first and second quarter of 2020/21, demand in the Enterprise and ProAudio segments were impacted significantly by COVID-19. In the Enterprise segment, COVID-19 countermeasures around the world caused restrictions in the access of RTX's customers to the sites of their end customers for installation of

communication systems. In the ProAudio segment, restrictions on live events impacted some RTX customers - especially in the Intercom sub-segment.

In several ways, the demand-side impact of COVID-19 came later for RTX than for many other industries and companies. RTX has orders from customers several months into the future and forecasts for the longer-term. During the first wave of COVID-19, RTX delivered these orders and customer forecasts were reduced only to a smaller degree. However, when the COVID-19 restrictions continued, affected customers saw their inventories grow and therefore postponed their re-ordering and reduced their quantities when re-ordering. However, this happened several months later than the first COVID-19 wave.

We have seen the demand situation gradually normalizing over the course of 2020/21. Revenue has been increasing quarter-on-quarter throughout the year. Q4 revenue in 2020/21 increased by 205% compared to Q1 revenue – in 2018/19 and 2019/20 the corresponding increases over the year were 35% and 22% respectively. Therefore, while revenue in the first half of the financial year was significantly below the previous years, the revenue in the second half of 2020/21 amounted to DKK 307 million which is the same level as in the two previous years. In the fourth quarter of 2020/21, revenue amounted to DKK 187 million; the highest revenue ever recorded in a single quarter for RTX – so demand has been rebounding.

“2020/21 was a challenging year in several ways. COVID-19 had a significant impact in the first part of the year, and global component shortage and supply chain challenges impacted the second half of the year. But the strong ending to the year with the highest ever RTX single quarter revenue recorded in our Q4 underlines the confidence I have in our growth strategy and our growth opportunities”

Peter Røpke, CEO

Global supply chain challenges

During 2020/21 we began to see – as did the whole world – a number of supply chain challenges emerging. These challenges included component shortages of various electronic components – especially semiconductors – supply chain and logistic impediments such as shipping capacity issues, periodic port closures and electricity scarcity in China, as well as travel restrictions complicating troubleshooting in relation to ramp-up of new production lines.

The main effect on RTX has been the postponement of deliveries of part of customer orders in 2020/21 – causing postponement of some revenue from one quarter into the next over the year. While Q1 was not impacted, the impact has been increasing over the year. Therefore, revenue of approximately DKK 30 million was postponed from Q2 into Q3, revenue of approximately DKK 40 million was postponed from Q3 into Q4 and revenue of approximately DKK 45 million was postponed from Q4 into Q1 of 2021/22. Another effect, especially in the last part of the year, is higher cost of goods sold with increases in certain component and logistic costs.

These impediments to the global supply chains and flow of goods must be expected to continue at least well into 2022. In response, RTX's Supply Chain organization has been actively complementing our external (outsourced) production partners in the efforts to locate and secure components. Further, we have extended the order and forecast time horizon towards


RTX Annual Report 2020/21

suppliers of key components significantly and have expanded the supplier base where feasible.

During 2020/21, we paid dividends of 2.5 DKK per share for the financial year 2019/20 and made share repurchases of treasury shares for a total of DKK 50 million. With the initial demand challenges and later supply challenges in 2020/21 and the resulting lower revenue and earnings, profit for the year was close to zero in 2020/21 (DKK 4 million). Therefore, we will not be recommending any dividends to be distributed for the year at the upcoming Annual General Meeting on 27 January 2022.

Growth opportunities and strategy intact

A challenging year such as 2020/21 has of course led to an assessment of our growth strategy. It is our firm belief that the uniform business model and go-to-market approach across our three target market segments – Enterprise, ProAudio and Healthcare – which we have been working towards over the last couple of years remain fundamentally sound and robust. Thus, our overall growth strategy for the coming years remains intact: We deploy our wireless capabilities to create recurring revenue as an ODM/OEM supplier via long-term framework agreements with our customers in the B2B Enterprise, ProAudio and Healthcare markets.

We still see our key customers investing into the joint product development activities with us. And even during 2020/21 we see the strategy working as we have seen significant growth from some of the newest areas where we and customers have invested into growth. These areas include the newest Enterprise framework agreement announced at the end of 2018/19 where we delivered the first products during 2020/21 and the unique ProAudio product platforms, such as Sheerlink™, Sheersound™ and TeamEngage™, where we have on-boarded several new customers and have seen significant growth especially for content creation purposes.

Therefore, we have also maintained our key investments into the important products and product platforms for the Enterprise, ProAudio and Healthcare segments in 2020/21 – both together with customers and as strategic investments by RTX. We have done this while maintaining a cautious and prudent cost management to balance the shorter-term results with the longer-term growth opportunities. These opportunities remain significant; while the growth from the ramp of some of our newer customers and framework agreements has been slowed by COVID-19 and supply challenges, the fundamental growth opportunities from these remain strong. Coupled with the rebound in demand seen towards the end of 2020/21, we therefore see the strategic direction of RTX as sound and the long-term growth opportunities as large – even if the short-term supply circumstances are challenging. In light hereof, we have largely maintained the number of employees to be prepared to benefit from these growth opportunities.

Our sustainability focus

For several years, RTX has been a member of the UN Global Compact and we remain committed to the ambitions of the Global Compact. Additionally, we have in recent years begun our work with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The main focus areas for our sustainability and ESG efforts have been identified using a materiality assessment and they include, among others, product safety and traceability, a sustainable supply chain, employee working conditions and corporate governance.

To explain and document our priorities and efforts, we have expanded our CSR and ESG reporting over the recent years. It includes the materiality assessment, policies for key areas such as environment, human rights and labor as well as KPI reporting for key ESG areas. For this year, we have added measurement and reporting of our climate $(\mathrm{CO}_{2})$ footprint to the KPIs reported. Our CSR and ESG report also serves as our Communication of Progress for the UN Global Compact. Please find the report at www.rtx.dk/corporate/csr.

RTX outlook – gradually back on track

As mentioned, we remain confident in our belief that our strategy will drive profitable growth for RTX when looking into the longer term. The potential in the framework agreements we have signed with key customers and in the scaling effect from increased recurring revenue remains significant for RTX.


RTX Annual Report 2020/21

We also believe that the next financial year, 2021/22, will represent an improvement over 2020/21 and we enter the year with a strong order book. However, the component scarcity, logistic impediments and other supply challenges will continue for the remainder of 2021 and most likely also persist in 2022. Therefore, 2021/22 will be a stepping stone back towards the long-term growth trend for RTX, however, still impacted by the supply challenges. Hence, management expects revenue of more than DKK 520 million, EBITDA of more than DKK 50 million and EBIT of more than DKK 10 million for the 2021/22 financial year. The outlook reflects an uncertainty primarily around the component and other supply constraints in the year which remains significant especially around semiconductors, while demand is less uncertain with the strong order backlog. However, a resurgence of significant restrictions in the face of any new COVID-19 waves can affect both the demand and supply situation. On the other hand, if the component and supply situation was to significantly improve over the financial year, this could have a positive impact on our financial results in 2021/22.

Back in early 2020 before the onset of COVID-19 and long before the component shortages, we would have expected that RTX's revenue and earnings in 2021/22 would significantly exceed the outlook for the year mentioned above. However, given our fundamental belief in our growth strategy and the growth opportunities for RTX, we consider that these global macro developments are solely temporary impediments to the long-term growth of RTX. But in light of the prolonged impact – especially of the supply chain constraints – we have re-evaluated our long-term financial ambitions, and while we maintain the ambitions for significant growth we have "parallel shifted" the ambitions by one year. Therefore, the end year for our long-term financial ambitions is now 2023/24 instead of 2022/23.

Helping people perform at their best

During the year, we have zoomed in on the purpose and values of RTX – what RTX fundamentally is and does. Wireless communication is an integral part of all our lives. It seamlessly helps us connect and communicate – in our work as well as in our spare time. RTX's purpose is 'helping people perform at their best' by providing our customers with the best possible wireless communications solutions. We do so through long-term partnerships with our customers aiming at strengthening our customers positioning in their markets.

Our employees make this possible – and we owe our employees a special thank you for their dedicated efforts under challenging and unpredictable circumstances throughout the year. The ways in which they have handled adverse global conditions and new ways of working have impressed us. We would also like to thank our customers and other stakeholders for their cooperation during 2020/21.

Our Growth Strategy

img-14.jpeg
Four key priorities to ensure profitable growth from our business model

Expand leadership in Enterprise

RTX aims to expand its leadership position in Enterprise products and solutions by continuing to gain share and drive market consolidation. Via our pure play ODM/OEM model, customers will not experience channel conflicts with RTX, and with focus on system integration as competitive advantage, we benefit from customer outsourcing of products and solutions, which ensures recurring revenue via long-term framework agreements with large global customers. The unique system integration across RTX products benefits our customers and their end-users and facilitates increasing share-of-wallet for RTX.

Utilize unique position in ProAudio

In ProAudio we want to lead the transition to digital wireless in professional audio markets and leverage our unique technology into recurring revenue. This is done by refining and productizing our existing technology base into flexible product platforms – e.g., "Sheerlink" and "TeamEngage" – with dedicated RTX modules and select full product custom ODM/OEM. For RTX customers this modular and flexible platform approach results in attractive value propositions, namely short time to market and attractive cost of entry. For RTX this results in increased scalability through recurring revenue via framework agreements.

Strengthen position in Healthcare

RTX aims to expand our existing Healthcare business, currently focused on wireless solutions for centralized continuous patient monitoring, by both broadening and deepening our offerings and presence in continuous patient monitoring. We do this through three avenues: 1) Continued expansion of our existing centralized continuous patient monitoring business with our long-term blue-chip healthcare customer. 2) Expanding share of value chain via broadened portfolio and increased production of sub-assemblies. 3) Expansion into decentralized continuous patient monitoring.

Building scalable processes and capabilities

Building on a strong foundation, RTX will further develop selected processes and capabilities to succeed with our strategic priorities for each of the three target markets segments: Enterprise, ProAudio and Healthcare. With the implementation of "One RTX" we have moved from two business units into one joint organization. The uniform structure facilitates our work to build robust and scalable processes within and across the different functional areas. Further it consolidates our technological capabilities and allows us to strengthen these further.

Business, Strategy and Outlook

Enterprise

Our business

In Enterprise, RTX helps our B2B customers, primarily large global players, to provide better wireless communication solutions for their customers. The solutions are used in places like retail operations, healthcare facilities, storage facilities, offices, call centers and public buildings, and in even the most demanding commercial and industrial environments where equipment certified as explosion-proof and waterproof is crucial.

Focusing on making sure all the component systems integrate seamlessly and reliably, we design, develop, and manufacture wireless IP telephony products and sub-systems that include headsets, handsets, base stations, repeaters, location beacons and advanced cloud-based tools. Our unique know-how and capabilities, Wireless Wisdom, make it much easier for customers to deliver commercially attractive wireless communication solutions that feature stand-out technological capabilities, constant technical innovation, effective systems design and engineering, and user-friendly functionality.

Market trends

There are several different types of communication endpoints within the global enterprise communications market and usage depends on end-user needs. Over time, handsets and headsets have been replacing the more traditional corded office desktop phones, in part due to unified communication and a desire for mobility driving the need for headsets, handsets and wireless devices in general.

According to Frost & Sullivan, the total global professional market for wireless handsets is estimated at more than USD 750 million or 3 million units annually. DECT technology handsets are expected to grow 3% p.a. from 2020 to 2024 driven by its mobile nature, superior performance, and cost effectiveness. RTX is

Enterprise

seeing additional demand upside in DECT, primarily from large players in the USA market, an enterprise market which traditionally has been focused on Wi-Fi/ VoWLAN. Also, RTX continues to both drive and benefit from ongoing consolidation in the manufacturing of handsets; driven by increased outsourcing of handset development and production, especially to pure play ODM/OEM providers like RTX. In 2020, RTX was the largest manufacturer of multi-cellular handsets, according to MZA, with a share of 20%. The total global professional headsets market is, by Frost & Sullivan, estimated at more than USD 1.5 billion or almost 30 million headsets annually with growth expectation of 15% p.a. from 2020 to 2024.

RTX and market highlights 2020/21

During 2020/21, we started product deliveries under the newest major Enterprise framework agreement. Our customer is a leading global brand with very strong sales channels and the product portfolio includes handsets, base stations, and repeaters. Also, our wireless headset offering has been developed and we are working with potential customers on tailoring the solution and on commercial agreements. Additionally, we introduced our Cloud Services, a software platform that increases

Cloud Services by RTX

Cloud Services is an online platform providing RTX customers with a series of easy-to-use tools for administration, deployment, monitoring, site management, and tracking of enterprise wireless installations of any size. A comprehensive set of specialist tools that seamlessly integrate the management of wireless base stations, location gateways, handsets, headsets, and repeaters into a single cloud-based solution that is easy to administer. Cloud Services makes it easier for RTX customers to provide commercial partners as well as end-customers with faster, better support by dealing with the practical challenges of deploying, configuring, and administering large-scale enterprise solutions.

RTX can configure and customize the platform to the specific customer's individual product portfolio, technical specifications, and brand identity requirements.

integration and serviceability via online tools for deployment, monitoring, tracking, etc. Multiple customers have already been onboarded for testing and piloting.

COVID-19 countermeasures impacted customer demand in first half of 2020/21. This was partly due to limited access to end customers' sites for installation of communication systems and partly due to inventory build-up over the previous months causing lower orders. Market participants in general, including RTX, were also impacted by the global supply chain challenges from the global electronics component scarcity and logistic challenges, especially in the second half of 2020/21.

Strategy for growth in Enterprise

RTX aims to expand its leadership position in Enterprise products and solutions by continuing to gain share and drive market consolidation.

ing wireless shares. Arizton estimates that global sales of professional wireless microphones are 2 million annually and on top of this comes growth opportunity from instruments, DJ products etc. where wireless transmission also is relevant. The global intercom market is estimated at approximately USD 6 billion of which more than half is wireless.

COVID-19 has resulted in the emergence of new formats, including more hybrid meetings and a mix of live and remote audiences – something that may well be retained in the post-COVID world and constitutes new opportunities.

RTX and market highlights 2020/21

We have, as planned, succeeded in growing our product platforms and dedicated modules, which is an important part of our transition to a recurring revenue model. The growth is driven by continued market expansion with Sheerlink™ as well as our newly launched TeamEngage™.

In the second half of 2020/21 we also had our first deliveries of full ODM products under the newest major ProAudio framework agreement. Our customer is a large international group and a leading brand in

the professional audio space, and the product is audio conference systems. These deliveries will continue in 2021/22 and beyond and mark a major milestone in our transition to recurring revenue in ProAudio.

The impact of COVID-19 in ProAudio was asymmetric. COVID-19 countermeasures, such as lockdowns, posed significant demand side challenges in some areas, especially in the intercom market related to live events. Simultaneously it constituted growth opportunities in other areas, e.g., the content creation space, driven by the demand from both journalists, vloggers, streamers etc. Despite the challenges, our customers continued their product development activities with us, thus confirming the fundamental strength of our business model. Like Enterprise, ProAudio was also impacted by the global supply chain challenges from the global electronics component scarcity and logistic challenges, especially in the second half of 2020/21.

Strategy for growth in ProAudio

In ProAudio we want to lead the transition to digital wireless in professional audio markets and leverage our unique technology into recurring revenue. This is done by refining and productizing our existing technology base into flexible product platforms – e.g., Sheerlink™ and TeamEngage™ – with dedicated RTX modules and select full product custom ODM/OEM. For RTX customers this modular and flexible platform approach results in attractive value propositions, namely short time to market and attractive cost of entry. For RTX this results in increased scalability through recurring revenue via framework agreements.

An important growth driver in the coming years will be ramping of our major ProAudio framework agreement as well as continued market expansion with our Sheerlink™ and TeamEngage™ platforms and modules.

Healthcare

Our business

In Healthcare, RTX is involved in the design, development and supply of wireless modules and products used for continuous patient monitoring in hospitals, primarily in critical care or acute settings. We work with our long-term blue-chip healthcare customer, for whom we provide design and development support as well as actual modules, sub-components, and end products on an ODM basis for the wireless solutions. These products are an integral part of the full solution supplied by our customer.

There are special wireless requirements in Healthcare, particularly in critical care: Medical frequency bands constitute restrictions, there is a need for ultra-reliable transmission when human health or life is at stake, and there are compliance and approval requirements. With our RTX technology and knowhow, Wireless Wisdom, and in close partnership with our customer, we develop solutions to address these unique needs and restrictions within healthcare.

Market trends

The continuous patient monitoring market is estimated at 1.8 million in units and more than USD 4 billion in value, according to IHS Markit. The market is dominated by a few large players and can be divided into centralized- and decentralized systems. Centralized systems are typically used in critical care settings in hospitals and constitute approximately one-third of the units and two-thirds of the value. Decentralized systems are typically used for post-acute bedside, ambulatory, home patient, or small and field hospital installation and constitute approximately two-thirds of the units and one-third of the value. Both sub-markets, and in particular demand for decentralized systems, are growing.

img-23.jpeg


RTX Annual Report 2020/21 Business, Strategy and Outlook

Healthcare

Currently, RTX is engaged in offerings exclusively for centralized systems. Consequently, decentralized systems, with the largest unit share and highest growth rates, constitute a promising growth opportunity for RTX in the medium- to long-term. While Healthcare is a relatively recession-proof market, one need to remember that it also is a very conservative business, with products living for a decade or more. This makes introduction of new products a lengthy process, but once a foothold is established, it of course also serves as a source of stable revenue.

RTX and market highlights 2020/21

This is the first year, where we have the full financial impact of the transition from modules to delivery of full ODM products for our long-standing customer within the Healthcare segment. This transition was completed towards the end of 2019/20, and revenue growth is therefore aided by this conversion with a higher value captured by RTX per unit. The transition has extended the scope of our healthcare deliveries and the relationship with our customer and there are ongoing development activities on the next generation of this full product, a wireless transmission product, in close collaboration with our customer.

img-24.jpeg

Wireless patient monitoring

RTX has been designing and delivering wireless patient monitoring solutions for more than ten years. The comprehensive RTX technology platform enables turn-key delivery of infrastructure access points, repeaters, and modules to embed within the full solutions offered by our customer and in endpoints such as patient-worn devices and near-patient monitors.

One RTX solution in the Healthcare segment is based on a technology that supports richer data types to provide enhanced features and reduce downtime. The RTX medical telemetry solution, allows for concurrent measurement - aggregated over a single stream with the flexibility to support specific payload size and data types depending on the customer system requirements such as heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, capnography, ECG, QT measurement, and side-channel information, such as signal strength, battery levels, etc.

To support a reliable and scalable deployment and monitoring, RTX also offers a floor-planning tool to assist customers and end-users in the placement of network elements.

During the year, and in close cooperation with existing RTX customers, we also started working on new wireless product solutions aimed at increasing the ease of installation of both centralized- and decentralized wireless monitoring systems for healthcare.

In 2020/21, we also saw demand normalization in unit terms after significant growth due to the outbreak of COVID-19 during the previous financial year – an outbreak which temporarily resulted in an unusually high demand from healthcare, including for products used in intensive care monitoring systems. In the long-term, we expect COVID-19 to accelerate the already ongoing transition to telemedicine and more monitoring.

Strategy for growth in Healthcare

RTX aims to expand our existing Healthcare business, currently focused on wireless solutions for centralized

continuous patient monitoring, by both broadening and deepening our offerings and presence in continuous patient monitoring.

This is to be accomplished by focusing on three different but interrelated dimensions:

  • Continued expansion of our existing centralized continuous patient monitoring business, including increased share-of-wallet with our long-term blue-chip healthcare customer.
  • Expanding share of value chain via broadened portfolio and increased production of subassemblies.
  • Expansion into decentralized continuous patient monitoring.

RTX Annual Report 2020/21 Business, Strategy and Outlook

Outlook 2021/22

RTX expects revenue growth in 2021/22 supported by a strong order book but dampened by the component shortage and supply chain challenges. Uncertainty, especially due to the component situation, remains higher than normal.

Revenue Outlook

Revenue is expected to be above DKK 520 million in 2021/22, corresponding to a growth of more than –14%. While RTX enters 2021/22 with a strong order book and thus a good starting point demand wise, the revenue outlook is especially impacted by the global component shortage and the uncertainty associated herewith. The revenue expectation is based on and subject to the following assumptions:

  • No significant worsening of product availability. The impact of component shortages and other supply chain and logistic impediments is on a similar level as during the latter part of 2020/21.
  • Growth mainly driven by product sales.
  • Limited impact on demand from any new COVID-19 waves.

  • Demand rebound after last year's COVID-19 impact primarily in the Enterprise and ProAudio segments which were most affected last year.

  • Currency exchange rates against DKK – in particular USD/DKK – in line with current level (October 2021).
  • No negative impact from macroeconomic and political environments, e.g. economic growth rates, price developments, and trade barriers.
  • No other material changes in competitive situation, market landscape etc.

As in prior years, the revenue and earnings distribution over the year is expected to be backloaded towards the second half of the year.

Forward-looking statements

This Annual Report includes forward-looking statements on various matters such as future product development, future expected revenue and earnings as well as future strategies and potential business expansion. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties as various factors, many of which are outside the control of RTX, may cause the actual development and results to differ materially from the expectations expressed directly or indirectly in this Annual Report. Such factors include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions and developments including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, changes in demand for RTX's products and services, competition, technological changes, fluctuations in currencies, component availability and fluctuations in sub-contractor supplies as well as legislative and/or regulatory changes.


RTX Annual Report 2020/21 Business, Strategy and Outlook

Earnings outlook

EBITDA is expected to be above DKK 50 million and EBIT is expected to be above DKK 10 million in 2021/22. These expectations are based on the revenue outlook above. They are based on and subject to the same assumptions as the revenue outlook with the addition of the following assumptions:

  • Component and logistic costs overall assumed to stay at the increased level experienced in Q4 2020/21. While some individual components may increase or decrease in price, the overall expectation is a full-year effect of the cost increases seen towards the end of 2020/21, partially counterbalanced by sales price increases.
  • The revenue mix will continue to develop towards product sales which impacts gross margin.
  • Continued cautious management of capacity costs with some additional costs due to partial resumption of travel, fairs, as well as salary development etc.
  • The investments in RTX platforms and products via capitalized R&D costs over the last years are expected to lead to increased amortizations.

As mentioned under the revenue outlook, earnings are also expected to be backloaded towards the end of the year.

Component and COVID-19 sensitivities

While different outcomes on one or more of each of the assumptions stated for the outlook 2021/22 can cause the actual financial results of RTX to differ from the outlook, heightened uncertainty must be acknowledged in specific areas for 2021/22. The situation with component shortage and other supply chain challenges creates larger than normal uncertainty for 2021/22 as does the risk that renewed COVID-19 waves cause restrictions impacting demand. Incremental changes from the current situations in these areas should not affect the outlook, but if the component and supply chain situation or the COVID-19 demand impact were to significantly worsen this may lead to a scenario where the outlook cannot be realized. On the other hand, a significant improvement in the component/supply chain situation could lead to a scenario where the minimum level in the outlook is significantly exceeded.

Long-Term Financial Ambitions

The growth strategy of RTX holds potential for significant profitable growth, however due to the current global challenges the long-term financial ambitions now run until 2023/24.

Our ambitions and the current global challenges

Last year, in our Annual Report for 2019/20, RTX announced our long-term financial ambitions for growth and earnings for the three-year period from the end of 2019/20 until and including the financial year 2022/23. We believe that the significant opportunities in RTX's growth strategy remain intact. Increased recurring revenue from the increased number of large framework agreements holds significant potential for profitable growth. While we believe that the COVID-19 pandemic with its impact on demand and the global supply chain challenges are solely temporary impediments to the long-term growth of RTX, we have nonetheless re-assessed our long-term financial ambitions. We maintain the ambitions for significant profitable growth, but we have "parallel shifted" the ambitions by one-year especially due to prolonged impact of supply chain challenges. Therefore, the end year for our long-term financial ambitions is now 2023/24. Further, we now set the targets in absolute numbers to make them more straightforward.

Revenue ambition

Based on the strategy of deploying RTX's "wireless wisdom" in selected B2B target markets for growth via recurring revenue and based on execution of existing and newer framework agreements, it is the ambition of RTX to grow revenues organically to reach at least DKK 800 million in the financial year 2023/24. This corresponds to an average annual growth rate of approximately 20% from the relatively low starting point in 2020/21.

Earnings ambition

Given the long-term revenue growth ambitions and given the leverage effect of increased recurring revenue on the scalability of human resources and other costs, it is the ambition of RTX to reach EBITDA of at least DKK 145 million in 2023/24. This corresponds to an average annual growth rate of approximately 57% from the relatively low starting point in 2020/21.

Organic revenue growth
Revenue > DKK 800 mio. in 2023/24

Profitability
EBITDA > DKK 145 mio. in 2023/24

Assumptions

The long-term financial ambitions are based on constant currencies with the ambitions especially being sensitive to the USD/DKK exchange rate. They are also based on the current macroeconomic and political climate, where major developments may impact the ambitions. Specifically, it is expected that the effects of COVID-19 and the resulting global economic consequences will continue to diminish and have no effect on the last two years of the period. Further, it is expected that the global component shortages and supply chain and logistic impediments will normalize at least before 2023/24. The ambitions are also based on component costs returning to their long-term trend lines (i.e., that the increased costs seen on certain components normalize before 2023/24).

RTX Annual Report 2020/21 Performance

2020/21 Performance

2020/21 was a challenging and volatile year for the Group, significantly impacted by COVID-19 and by global supply chain impediments. However, the year saw improvements quarter-on-quarter and ended strongly.

Revenue

The RTX Group posted revenue of DKK 457 million in 2020/21, corresponding to a decrease of 18% (2019/20: DKK 556 million). Due to the revenue shortfall, the original expectations for the year were not met. Demand and supply challenges were the main reasons for the shortfall relative to expectations and the weaker US dollar in 2020/21 contributed to the decrease. FX corrected growth was -13%. Demand was significantly affected in the first part of 2020/21 due to COVID-19. In the second half of the year the global component shortage and supply chain impediments affecting the global flow of goods impacted revenue by postponing the delivery of orders into future quarters.

The demand situation improved significantly over the year with quarter-on-quarter growth in revenues and was close to being normalized in the second half of the year. Therefore, Q4 revenues in 2020/21 grew 205% compared to Q1 revenues (2019/20: 22%).

The global component shortage especially of semiconductors, but also periodically of other electronic components, and supply chain impediments such as port closures, shipping capacity issues and electricity scarcity impacted deliveries from Q2 onwards in 2020/21. The effect is postponed deliveries and thus revenue into future periods. At the end of 2020/21, revenue of approx. DKK 45 million was thus postponed into the next financial year due to the global supply chain challenges. Without these supply chain challenges, revenue would therefore have exceeded DKK 500 million in the financial year.

In the Enterprise segment, RTX realized revenue of DKK 308 million – a decrease of 19% (2019/20: DKK 382 million). COVID-19 countermeasures restricted customer access to end customer sites for installation of communication systems in the first part of the year. Also, customers were cautious in re-stocking their inventories in the first part of the year due to the un

certainty around COVID-19. Further, revenue has been negatively impacted by component scarcity and supply chain challenges postponing revenue into next financial year. Corrected for the FX impact of the weaker US dollar, revenue in 2020/21 decreased by 15%.

ProAudio revenues decreased by 20% to DKK 102 million in 2020/21 (2019/20: DKK 128 million). Recurring revenue from product sales and royalties increased in 2020/21 in line with RTX's strategy to move from one-off engineering services to recurring revenue streams. Revenue from engineering services therefore decreased significantly and the transformation to a business model based on recurring revenue has come far. Due to the impact of COVID-19 and supply challenges, revenue from product sales increased less than expected at the start of the year, however, especially the revenue from RTX's product platforms and associated modules increased significantly in 2020/21. Corrected for the FX impact of the weaker US dollar, revenue in 2020/21 decreased by 15%.

RTX revenues in the Healthcare segment amounted to DKK 47 million and increased by 1% (2019/20: DKK 46 million). Compared to last year, revenue was positively impacted by the conversion into deliveries of a full ODM product instead of purely modules for part of the deliveries. On the other hand, the significant volume (unit) growth for patient monitoring devices seen over 2019/20 due to the COVID-19 pandemic was more normalized in 2020/21 as equipment ramp-up at hospitals etc. has levelled off. FX corrected revenue growth was 6%.

Gross profit

The lower revenue level in 2020/21 decreased the gross profit of the Group to DKK 239 million (2019/20: DKK 309 million). The gross margin amounted to 52.3% in 2020/21 compared to 55.6% last financial year. The margin is primarily impacted by the revenue mix with a significantly lower share of revenue from engineering services. Secondarily, the margin is impacted by increasing component costs in the second half of the year as a result of the component scarcity in the global electronics industry.

Capacity costs

Due to the impact of and uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic and the global supply chain challenges, the capacity cost base continued to be managed carefully during the year. This led to capacity costs (staff costs and other external expenses) amounting to DKK 227 million in 2020/21 equaling a decrease of 1% (2019/20: DKK 230 million). On the other hand, RTX has maintained a reasonable capacity cost level so as not to jeopardize the Company's ability to realize the growth opportunities in its large framework agreements longer term.

RTX has postponed any additional headcount investments and has instead redeployed employees internally to maintain full momentum on the development activities with the highest potential for RTX and customers. The average total headcount was 286 FTEs in 2020/21 compared to the 292 in 2019/20.

Additionally, travel costs, fairs, external assistance and employee bonus levels have been kept at relatively low levels.

EBITDA 37 30-55 95-120
EBIT 6 0-25 63-90

Capitalized development projects, depreciation and amortization

RTX still considers the Group's growth opportunities intact despite the challenges of 2020/21. Therefore, RTX has continued to invest in the development of product platforms and solutions for the various segments. These investments include, for instance, Enterprise headsets (wireless models), cloud-based deployment and administration tools and ProAudio product platforms for Mics & Stage, Intercom and Conference. RTX realized R&D costs of DKK 42 million in 2020/21 (2019/20: DKK 44 million) of which DKK 25 million were capitalized (2019/20: DKK 29 million). Realized R&D costs only reflect R&D expenditure on internal RTX development, not where RTX is

compensated for product or solution development by external customers. The level of R&D costs reflects RTX's strategy to create increased recurring revenue by turning the Group's wireless and audio capabilities into products and product platforms. In line with this strategy, depreciation, amortization and impairment, as expected, increased to DKK 31 million (2019/20: DKK 25 million) of which 13 million were depreciations (2019/20: DKK 12 million) and 18 million were amortizations and impairment (2019/20: DKK 13 million).

Operating profits - EBITDA & EBIT

Driven by the lower revenue level, EBITDA decreased by 66% to DKK 37 million (2019/20: DKK 108 million) corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 8.2% (2019/20: 19.5%). EBIT decreased by 93% to DKK 6 million (2019/20: DKK 84 million) primarily due to the lower revenue level and secondarily due to the higher depreciation and amortization as a result of the increased in-house development of products and product platforms over the latest years.

Financial items, tax, net profit & EPS

Net financials amounted to an expense of DKK 7 million in 2020/21 compared to an expense of DKK 3 million in 2019/20. The net expense was primarily caused by the fair value adjustment of investments in the trading portfolio due to the increasing interest rates on bonds over the year and by the calculated financing cost element from capitalized leases according to IFRS 16.

RTX Annual Report 2020/21 Performance

Due to temporarily increased tax deductibles for development costs according to the Danish tax code, taxes recognized for 2020/21 were a tax income of DKK 4 million (2019/20: tax expense of DKK 17 million).

Given the net financials and taxes recognized, net profit after tax amounted to DKK 4 million (2019/20: DKK 63 million). This net profit translates into Earnings per Share (EPS) of DKK 0.4 in 2020/21 compared to DKK 7.5 last year.

Cash flow

RTX continued to realize positive cash flow from operations (CFFO) in 2020/21 – in spite of the lower revenue and earnings in the year and aided by the working capital development – with CFFO of DKK 45 million (2019/20: DKK 71 million). The operating cash flows generated were re-invested into future growth via investments in capitalized development projects and fixed assets for a total amount of DKK 40 million (2019/20: DKK 35 million). Further, cash was returned to shareholders via dividends of DKK 21 million, corresponding to 2.5 DKK per share, and via share buybacks of DKK 50 million in 2020/21.

Assets, equity and liabilities

At the end of 2020/21, the Group's total assets amounted to DKK 485 million compared to DKK 534 million at the end of last year. The development is partly driven by a lower liquidity position. The Group's total net liquidity position (total cash funds plus current securities less bank debt) decreased to DKK 120 million at the end of 2020/21 (2019/20: DKK 195 million) positively impacted by cash generated from operations and negatively by investments and the distributions to shareholders via dividend payment and share buy-back for a total of DKK 71 million during the year. Inventories were higher at the end of 2020/21 at DKK 32 million (2019/20: DKK 15 million) primarily due to higher finished goods in transit.

Total equity was DKK 289 million at the end of 2020/21 (2019/20: DKK 352 million) corresponding to an equity ratio of 59.5% (2019/20: 66%). RTX continues to have a strong balance sheet and a strong cash position. Equity is negatively impacted by shareholder-related activities from dividend distribution and share buy-back programmes during 2020/21. The Group's liabilities have increased by 8% with higher trade payables due to the timing of sales and purchases towards the end of the year and due to postponed payments of salary taxes etc. as part of the liquidity enhancing schemes enacted by the Danish government to counteract COVID-19.

The lower earnings level impacted the Group's return on invested capital (ROIC) which reached 11% in 2020/21 compared to 54% in 2019/20.

RTX realized revenues of DKK 186.8 million in Q4 2020/21 – an increase of $19.4\%$ compared to last year (Q4 2019/20: DKK 156.4 million). FX corrected revenue growth in Q4 was $20.3\%$ compared to last year as revenues were impacted by the on average weaker USD than during Q4 last financial year. Revenues in all segments increased in Q4 compared to last year – with Enterprise revenue increase of $26.7\%$ , ProAudio revenue growth of $4.1\%$ and Healthcare revenue increase of $6.9\%$ .

The constraints in the global supply chains and flow of goods from component scarcity, logistic impediments etc. had a negative impact in Q4 of 2020/21. In total the effect of the supply chain challenges across all segments has postponed revenue of approx. DKK 45 million from Q4 2020/21 into Q1 2021/22. As similar supply challenges had postponed revenue of approx. DKK 40 million from Q3 into Q4, the net effect on Q4 2020/21 from supply challenges was a negative revenue impact of approx. DKK 5 million.

The gross margin in Q4 2020/21 was largely unchanged at $52.5\%$ compared to last year (Q4 2019/20: $52.2\%$ ). Capacity costs in Q4 amounted to DKK 50.8 million compared to DKK 53.3 in Q4 2019/20. Capacity costs have been managed prudently with cautious headcount investments and low spend on travel, trade fairs etc. as well as lower staff bonus costs than last year due to the full year financial performance. Capitalized development costs amounted to DKK 2.8 million in Q4 2020/21 (Q4 2019/20: DKK 8.2 million).

EBITDA reached DKK 50.0 million in Q4 2020/21, an increase of $36.9\%$ compared to last year (Q4 2019/20: DKK 36.6 million). Due to the investments in RTX's own products and platforms over the last years, depreciations and amortization increased to DKK 10.3 million (Q4 2019/20: DKK 7.5 million) including a smaller impairment charge (DKK 0.6 million) on a capitalized development project due to COVID-19 caused postponements on product test, launch and sales ramp. EBIT reached DKK 39.7 million in Q4 2020/21 (Q4 2019/20: DKK 29.0 million).

RTX Annual Report 2020/21 Performance

Capital Structure and Allocation

Maintaining flexibility to invest into growth opportunities, displaying robustness for long-term framework agreements and optimizing return for shareholders.

Capital Allocation Policy

The Group's policy on capital allocation and capital structure was updated in the fall of 2020. The guiding principle for RTX's capital allocation and structure is to (i) maintain sufficient financial flexibility to realize RTX's strategic objectives including investments into growth opportunities as well as balance sheet robustness needed for long term framework agreements and needed to support operations, while at the same time (ii) ensuring a financial structure maximizing the return for our shareholders. Therefore, any excess capital after the funding of growth opportunities and after ensuring such robustness should be returned to shareholders. Over time, RTX targets a net liquidity position (total cash funds plus current securities less any bank debt) of approximately 25-30% of revenues; interim deviations to the target cash level can occur depending on specific growth opportunities or other operational or strategic considerations.

Subject to the guiding principle for the capital structure, RTX aims to pay out a dividend corresponding to approximately 25-35% of the annual net results (i.e. profit for the year after tax) and will initiate share buy-back programs when deemed appropriate and contingent upon authorization granted by the shareholders. RTX strives to maintain a reasonable balance between distributions to shareholders via dividends and via share buy-back programs, however modifications to the capital structure will primarily be done via share buy-backs. Depending on the growth opportunities at hand or other operational or strategic considerations, RTX may deviate from the above payout ratio in a specific year.

At the end of 2020/21, RTX has a net liquidity position of DKK 120 million corresponding to 26% of revenues in 2020/21 which corresponds to the target position according to the Group's capital policy. RTX thus continues to have a strong balance sheet and liquidity position.

Dividends and share buy-back

After the Annual General Meeting in January 2021, RTX paid out a dividend of DKK 2.50 per share. In total the dividend amounted to DKK 20.7 million corresponding to a pay-out ratio of 33% in line with the policy on capital allocation and capital structure.

Also, during 2020/21, RTX acquired 257,520 treasury shares for a total amount of DKK 50 million to adjust the capital structure in line with the Group policy on capital allocation and capital structure. The share buy-back was made in accordance with the authorization granted to the Board of Directors at the 2018 Annual General Meeting.

As the profit after tax for 2020/21 is only DKK 4 million and as the net liquidity position of RTX now corresponds to the target position according to our capital policy, the Board of Directors will recommend to the Annual General Meeting in January 2022 that

no dividends be distributed for the 2020/21 financial year. The Board of Directors will monitor the developments during 2021/22 and may, if deemed appropriate and attractive, commence a new share buy-back program later in the financial year.

Capital structure adjustment

To adjust and optimize the capital structure of RTX, the Board of Directors intends to recommend to the Annual General Meeting in January 2022 that 175,000 treasury shares with a nominal value of DKK 875,000 acquired through share buy-back programmes and not to be used for long-term share-based incentive programmes are cancelled thereby reducing the share capital of RTX.

CSR and ESG

At RTX, we strive to act responsibly in everything we do and we have integrated the ten principles of the UN Global Compact into our work.

Our business priorities and values are aligned with the ten principles of the United Nations Global Compact. For several years, we have reported on corporate social responsibility (CSR) by way of a Communication of Progress (COP) and we report in compliance with sections 99a, 99b and 107d of the Danish Financial Statements Act. We are continuously strengthening our CSR practices and developing our CSR and ESG reporting.

Our CSR approach and activities

Our approach to CSR and sustainability is anchored in the belief that, as a business, RTX influences and impacts people, environments and communities around the globe and that we have a responsibility for reducing any potential harm while maximizing benefits for our stakeholders. The starting points for our CSR approach and efforts are our commitment to the UN Global Compact – of which we have been a member since 2014 – to the UN Sustainable Development Goals most relevant for RTX as well as to an assessment of which CSR issues and risks are most material to RTX and to our stakeholders.

While RTX has activities related to all risks, the focus for our due diligence and risk management is related to the areas with highest materiality to our stakeholders and our business. Our annual COP report for 2020 details our policies for how we work with CSR issues and risks including due diligence, risk management, CSR-related actions and KPIs especially for the CSR issues and risks with the highest materiality.

The most material CSR issues identified include product safety, REACH and RoHS, as well as transparency/traceability, supply chain management and employee working conditions. We work closely on CSR issues and risks throughout our supply chain, where the majority of RTX's CSR footprint occurs as manufacturing is outsourced to suppliers. Our Code of Conduct for suppliers is at the heart of key CSR efforts and outlines our expectations to suppliers on a broad range of CSR issues based upon the principles of the UN Global Compact. CSR compliance is an essential parameter in selecting suppliers.

The employee working conditions and the welfare of our employees are other highly material issues for RTX. We conduct annual employee satisfaction surveys, which display high general satisfaction, and we measure KPIs such as employee absence and employee turnover.

During 2020/21, the "Quality and Compliance" function, which we established last year, accelerated its work and further improved our compliance with product safety and other key standards. We continued our work with the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals and further integrated the goals most relevant for RTX into our sustainability work. Also, we began to work more holistically with our carbon emissions and climate footprint by initiating mapping and measurement of our $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ emissions according to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol in order to create a baseline for measuring our impact and future improvements. We also report this carbon footprint measurement to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP).

RTX Annual Report 2020/21 Governance

Corporate Governance

RTX's governance model aims to ensure an active, transparent and accountable management of the Group as well as compliance with applicable legislation, rules and recommendations.

Governance model

RTX's corporate governance framework is based on a two-tier system in which the Board of Directors and Group Executive Management together form the governing body of RTX but have two distinct roles. The ultimate authority over the Company rests with the Shareholders at the annual general meeting. Rules and deadlines applying to annual general meetings are stipulated in the Articles of Association of RTX, which are available at www.rtx.dk.

The Board of Directors appoints and controls the Executive Board and Group Executive Management and defines the overall strategy and objectives in close collaboration with Group Executive Management. The Executive Board and Group Executive Management are responsible for the operational and tactical management of the company, for ensuring progress on the outlined strategic direction, for daily risk management

img-5.jpeg

and for ensuring compliance with relevant legislation and procedures as well as for submitting reports on performance, strategy and budget suggestions etc. to the Board of Directors. At present, the Executive Board consists of two members and Group Executive Management consists of six members (including the Executive Board).

Composition of Board of Directors

The Board of Directors consists of eight members, five of which are elected at the annual general meeting. Shareholder-elected members are elected individually and for terms of one year and may stand for re-election. The number of board members and the composition of the board, in terms of professional experience and relevant competencies, is considered adequate by the Board of Directors. The competencies of the members of the Board of Directors cover, among others, general international management as well as business development, sales, operations, technology, R&D and financial management in a variety of industries relevant to RTX.

Pursuant to the Danish Companies Act, three additional board members are elected by the employees for a term of four years with the latest elections held in January 2019. The employee representatives serving on the board hold the same rights and obligations as the shareholder-elected members. There were no changes to the composition of the Board of Directors during 2020/21.


RTX Annual Report 2020/21 Governance

The Board of Directors conducts a self-evaluation of the work in the board as well of the cooperation between the Board of Directors and the Executive Board. This evaluation was carried out with external assistance during the autumn of 2020. The result of the evaluation did not give rise to any significant observations and validated the appropriateness of the current composition of the Board of Directors.

Board meetings

At least four ordinary board meetings are held per year. In 2020/21, seven ordinary board meetings were held. Extraordinary board meetings are held according to need. In 2020/21, eleven board meetings were held in total. The attendance of board members at board meetings in 2020/21 was 99% of full attendance. One of the board meetings is the annual strategy seminar where the Board of Directors in-depth discusses and approves the strategic direction and actions both for RTX's target market segments and for the enabling functional areas within RTX based on presentations by Group Executive Management.

Board committees

The Audit Committee of RTX operates according to its terms of reference approved by the Board of Directors and refers to the Board of Directors. Four Audit Committee meetings are held per year and the committee consists of three members. The main tasks of the Audit Committee are to supervise financial reporting, accounting policies and estimates, internal controls,

During the year, the Audit Committee additionally focused specifically on CSR and ESG reporting, insurance coverages as well as IT infrastructure and risks. In 2020/21, there have been no incidents reported to RTX's whistleblower system.

The Nomination & Remuneration Committee refers to the Board of Directors. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee consists of three members. The main tasks of the committee include succession planning at the Board of Directors and Group Executive Management levels, suggesting appropriate management remuneration and incentive programs and planning the evaluation process of the Board of Directors.

Recommendations on corporate governance

In general, RTX complies with the Danish Recommendations on Corporate Governance. The recommendations applicable for the reporting period (financial year 2020/21) for RTX were issued on 23 November 2017. A new set of recommendations applicable for financial years commencing 1 January 2021 or later have been published and are applicable for RTX from the next financial year (2021/22).

RTX fully complies with 46 of the recommendations of the Danish Committee on Corporate Governance and partially complies with the remaining one of the recommendations. The recommendation partially complied

with is the recommendation that the remuneration of board members does not include share-based instruments (recommendation 4.1.3). Remuneration for members of the Board of Directors of RTX does not include variable elements such as bonus, share options, warrants or similar. However, the employee representatives on the Board of Directors may be included in a share-based remuneration programme – not because of their function in the Board of Directors but due to their regular job function and qualification profile.

Each year, in connection with the annual report, RTX publishes the statutory report on Corporate Governance, cf. section 107b of the Danish Financial Statements Act. The full statutory report is available at: www.rtx.dk/CorporateGovernance.

Remuneration

Remuneration of the Board of Directors and the Executive Board is carried out in accordance with the RTX Remuneration Policy as adopted at the Annual General Meeting in 2020. As stated in the Remuneration Policy, the overall objectives of the policy are to attract, motivate and retain qualified members of management; to ensure alignment of interests between management, company and shareholders; and to promote long-term value creation in RTX and support RTX's business strategy. To align interests for RTX's shareholders and management, and to meet both short-term and long-term goals, the policy further defines appropriate limits on incentive programs and longer-term share-based remuneration programmes for management. The policy is available at RTX's website at www.rtx.dk/RemunerationPolicy.

Remuneration of the Board of Directors and the Executive Board is reported in the separate RTX Remuneration Report for 2020/21 prepared and published in accordance with section 139b of the Danish Companies Act. The report details remuneration of the Board of Directors and the Executive Board. It also explains the structure and performance criteria of incentive programs. The Remuneration Report is available at RTX's website at www.rtx.dk/RemunerationReport. At the Annual General Meeting in 2021, the Remuneration Report for 2019/20 was presented and approved in an advisory vote. For details on the accounting treatment of remuneration for the Board of Directors and the Executive Board see note 2.4 later in this annual report.

RTX strives to have a reasonable split between male and female candidates and employees, even though we operate in an industry with primarily male candidates.

Diversity

It is the objective of RTX to attract and retain highly qualified and motivated employees, and RTX strives to have a reasonable split between male and female candidates and employees, even though we operate in an industry with primarily male candidates. RTX encourages female and international applicants to apply for vacant positions. RTX's objective of minimum 17% of the shareholder-elected members as the proportion of the under-represented gender (currently women) on the Board of Directors was not met in 2020/21. The Board of Directors has established a new target for the proportion of women on the Board of Directors and intensified the work to increase it. For further information regarding RTX's policy and objectives on diversity and for our report pursuant to sections 99b (target for gender distribution) and 107d (diversity) of the Danish Financial Statements Act, please refer to the "Communication of Progress" (COP) report regarding corporate social responsibility, which is available for download at www.rtx.dk/corporate/csr.

RTX Annual Report 2020/21 Governance

Risk Management

Monitoring, managing and mitigating risks are key parts of RTX's governance model – especially in the turbulent years 2020 and 2021.

As an internationally operating ODM/OEM provider of technological solutions, RTX is exposed to various risks inherent to our business operations. Managing these risks is an integrated part of our management activities.

At RTX, we define risks as "an occurrence caused by external or internal events which hinders us in meeting our objectives". The risk management approach is based on risk identification and assessment before defining mitigating actions and implementing those mitigating actions which are deemed relevant and attractive. Mitigating actions are planned and conducted to decrease the likelihood of a risk occurring and/or to decrease the impact of a risk if occurring.

Group Executive Management is responsible for reviewing the overall risk exposure of RTX on an ongoing basis. Once risks have been identified, assessed and

mitigating actions defined, Executive Management evaluates the risk exposure to ensure that appropriate plans are in place. The Board of Directors is ultimately responsible for risk management and it has appointed the Audit Committee to supervise the risk profile evaluation on a quarterly basis. Significant risks are reported to the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis or when deemed relevant. During 2020/21, risks stemming from the global COVID-19 pandemic and from the global component and supply chain challenges have been highly pertinent in this process.

RTX takes out statutory insurances as well as the insurances deemed to be relevant in order to eliminate or reduce unwanted and insurable risks. At regular intervals, RTX conducts a review of the insurances and their coverage in cooperation with external advisers. The Group's insurances are reviewed periodically by the Audit Committee.

img-7.jpeg

Handling of the risks arising from the COVID-19 pandemic and from the global component shortage and supply chain challenges have been high on the risk management agenda throughout 2020/21.

The Risk Management Process

The risk management process at RTX includes the interlinked processes of risk identification, risk assessment and risk mitigation, as determined and reviewed by Group Executive Management and reported to the Board of Directors.

img-8.jpeg


RTX Annual Report 2020/21 Governance

Risk Heat Map

Risks are assessed using a two-dimensional risk matrix – estimating the impact on earnings and “license to operate” and the estimated likelihood of a risk materializing.

img-9.jpeg

A. Macroeconomy

Risk description

Macroeconomic uncertainty and adverse economic conditions with low rates of economic growth may lead to a reduced demand from end users and thereby from RTX's customers thus impacting the activity level and financial results of RTX.

Fluctuations in currency exchange rates – especially USD/DKK exchange rate – impact RTX revenue and operating profits measured in DKK. Given the high solidity and the liquidity position RTX does not have risk related to external providers of interest-bearing debt.

Mitigation

To safeguard against the potential impact of low economic growth rates, RTX has increased its customer base – e.g. through further long-term framework agreements – to increase the likelihood of an underlying growth in RTX's activity level regardless of any lower economic growth. Also, RTX operates in different industrial sectors/segments to reduce the exposure to any one sector. During 2020/21, RTX has displayed caution in its cost base in light of the demand impact of COVID-19 on certain sectors in the first half of 2020/21 and of the supply chain impediments especially in the latter part of 2020/21.

Regarding foreign exchange risk, RTX's trading and currency policy with customers and suppliers is, to the greatest possible extent, to attempt to match the currencies of its purchase and sales. If deemed appropriate, RTX may enter into transactions for the purpose of reducing net currency exposures. During 2020/21, RTX has hedged part of the future (expected) net inflow of USD to reduce such exposure.

Risk assessment 2020/21

Likelihood: High / Impact: High

While economic growth rebounded during the latter part of 2020 and during 2021 after the initial significant negative impact from COVID-19 and countermeasures against the pandemic, the risk of stagflation in many Western countries appears to be increasing towards the end of 2021. The USD has generally been weakening over 2020/21 but has been increasing again towards the end of the financial year.


RTX Annual Report 2020/21 Governance

B Supply chain

Risk description The Group's production is handled by sub-suppliers, which are located both in Asia and Europe with the majority of sourced volume from Asia. The Group depends on the ability of these sub-suppliers to produce and supply the planned volume at the agreed time and quality and thus significant fluctuations in revenue and gross profit may arise if some sub-suppliers fail to supply as agreed.
Mitigation RTX is in ongoing close contact with its sub-suppliers in order to plan and monitor supplies, quality assurance systems and production. To reduce our reliance on any single supplier, RTX operates with more than one supplier where possible, while in other cases it may be necessary to reduce the delivery uncertainty with a buffer inventory. A 12-month rolling forecast is managed by RTX from customers through RTX to suppliers, which increases the ability of suppliers to plan operations in order to meet RTX's demand. RTX cooperates with major contract manufacturers that operate multiple factories across countries and continents, which means that production can be transferred from one factory to another should one of the sites temporarily be out of operation.
Risk assessment 2020/21 Likelihood: High / Impact: High During 2020/21, there have been significant disruptions to the global flow of goods including, for instance, temporary port closures, container shipping impediments leading to prolonged transportation times, temporary electricity cut-offs in China and long lead-time for components (also see risk section on Components). These disruptions still occur and thus the supply chain risk remains high. RTX's Supply Chain organization has moved to work even closer with its sub-suppliers in 2020/21 to maintain and overview of the delivery situation and assist the supply base in improving the situation where possible.

C Components

Risk description Increasing component lead times and temporary allocation of components (i.e. component suppliers not fulfilling the full demand) may impact revenue, gross profits and gross margins - especially via postponements (and to a lesser degree cancellations). The issue has historically been pertinent for certain electronics components from time to time.
Mitigation RTX has in place a well-established 12-month rolling forecast from customers via RTX to its manufacturing partners, which has ensured a long planning horizon for components and production, and thereby has, to the extent possible, de-risked component allocation to secure that components are received on time. When necessary, the RTX Supply Chain organization works, closely and directly with suppliers of components (by-passing, but in agreement, with our manufacturing partners) to increase allocations of components. This involves making spot purchases to fill short-term gaps while working with suppliers to ensure allocation and prioritization.
Risk assessment 2020/21 Likelihood: High / Impact: Medium During 2021, lead times for components - not least semiconductors - have increased significantly and certain components have been under allocation. This has affected many industries, not least the electronics industries. Towards the end of 2021 this situation with heightened risk persists.

RTX Annual Report 2020/21 Governance

D Customer partnerships

| Risk description | A significant part of RTX's business is based on long-term partnerships with leading international companies in the market segments where RTX operates. The cooperation with these customers is based on long-term framework agreements, and RTX's products are an integrated part of these customers' solutions and offerings.
The company's top three customers represent 39% of 2020/21 revenue. It would have a considerable impact on RTX's organizational setup as well as its financial performance, if key customers – for any given reason – face financial challenges, if RTX and a given customer are not able to be successful together or if the market situation were to significantly change. |
| --- | --- |
| Mitigation | Considerable resources have been invested in the technical integration of RTX's technology and products into the customers' solutions and replacing RTX would accordingly trigger substantial switching cost for the customers.
Also, RTX is expanding the base of significant customers through additional framework agreements as announced over the past years which will reduce RTX's reliance on individual customers.
In general, RTX's large customers are large and well-reputed international companies. To further mitigate financial consequences from any possible customer specific occurrences, RTX takes out credit insurance on customers to the extent possible. |
| Risk assessment 2020/21 | Likelihood: Low / Impact: Medium
The key customers of RTX appear to have, so far, weathered the challenges from COVID-19 impacting demand and from supply chain impediments in a reasonably sound financial manner. |

E Politics and regulations

| Risk description | International trade barriers out of protectionism or for other reason could influence the ability of RTX to export products from certain countries to e.g. the US. The counter-measures against pandemics (e.g. COVID-19) are often politically decided and may lead to a temporary decrease in customer demand within specific sub-segments in ProAudio and Enterprise.
Also, RTX is subject to product safety regulations such as e.g. REACH and RoHS and failure to comply with these may harm RTX's reputation and license to operate. |
| --- | --- |
| Mitigation | RTX is engaging with several internationally oriented sub-suppliers with operations across multiple countries and continents, which provides an agile setup in case of significant trade barriers.
RTX operates in different industrial sectors/segments to reduce the exposure to any one sector.
Regarding product safety, RTX's management system, supplier agreements and compliance frameworks are designed to deal with customer and regulatory requirements. The management system is subject to both internal and external reviews and audits. |
| Risk assessment 2020/21 | Likelihood: High / Impact: Medium
While the international rhetoric regarding trade barriers has improved over the financial year, the risk is still present. Imminent risk of disruptive pandemic countermeasures has reduced somewhat compared to last year with the gradual roll-out of vaccines. |


RTX Annual Report 2020/21 Governance

F HR and talent

Risk description RTX is a knowledge intensive company and in order to develop innovative products and solutions and to retain our competitive position, it is essential to attract, develop and retain the right talent. Failure to do so may ultimately hinder RTX's ability to successfully execute our strategy and thereby reduce competitiveness.
Mitigation RTX's goal is to be an attractive workplace. This is achieved e.g. through attractive working conditions, employee and manager development dialogue, employee satisfaction surveys, social gatherings and incentive programs. RTX maintains close cooperation with leading universities close to RTX knowledge hubs both regarding student assignments, PH.D dissertations and regarding recruiting. RTX monitors employee turnover and retention on an ongoing basis.
Risk assessment 2020/21 Likelihood: Medium / Impact: High During 2021 the labor market has heated up and the demand for talent has increased further leading to increased employee turnover.

G Technology

Risk description A significant part of RTX's business is based on its unique knowledge within advanced wireless radio systems. Therefore, technological changes may affect future business opportunities for RTX. A revolution of the wireless communication standards and competence platforms, which RTX currently incorporates into its products and solutions, may lead to lost business opportunities, especially longer term.
Mitigation Through close relationships with leading international customers, RTX has a solid impression of the customers' future product development plans. The close relations enable RTX to predict and react to changes in technologies requested by the customers on an ongoing basis. Via innovation projects RTX develops the technological competencies that will enable RTX to offer products and solutions based on a wider range of technological opportunities. This reduces the dependence on single technologies. RTX's corporate technology office works on this continuously and also team up with leading research institutions for specific innovation projects. Further, RTX monitors and impacts technological standards through active participation in highly reputed industry organizations worldwide.
Risk assessment 2020/21 Likelihood: Low / Impact: Medium With the updated organizational structure of RTX, we have strengthened the CTO Office in order to further improve scouting of emerging technologies. The CTO Office also continues to work on developing RTX capabilities to encompass further wireless and audio platforms and protocols.

RTX Annual Report 2020/21 Governance

H IPR

Risk description Operating within a highly IPR protected industry, RTX's freedom of action may from time to time be limited by patents from third parties. Further, RTX holds and has applied for patents within selected key areas. There may be a risk that RTX inadvertently infringes on third party rights. Further, RTX's practices for protecting the company's intellectual property rights may be inadequate so that competitors may develop similar technologies. This can lead to loss of business opportunities for RTX.
Mitigation The company's model for development projects includes a review of the project to assess if there is a risk that RTX may infringe on or is limited by third party rights. It is also a formal point of our project model that the project is considered for relevant patents. RTX has competences within design, development and manufacturing of wireless solutions and combinations of wireless technologies. The number of wireless technologies, that RTX has competences within, are constantly expanded in order to avoid dependency on a single technology. RTX is a member of ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute) and other technology forums. Such memberships ensure that RTX stays up to date on relevant issues in the industry, including e.g. frequency band that may affect RTX's business or infringe on third party rights.
Risk assessment 2020/21 Likelihood: Low / Impact: Low The strengthening of RTX's CTO Office during 2020/21 also leads to increasing focus on screening for potential IPR infringements and screening for potential opportunities for taking out relevant patents.

IT and cyber security

Risk description RTX's business depends to a large and increasing extent on reliable and secure IT systems. Severe breaches of IT security or system outages may have a negative effect on RTX's knowledge base, reputation and/or competitive position, and thus may cause financial losses, lost business opportunities or lack of ability to meet contractual obligations.
Mitigation While these risks cannot be fully eradicated, RTX is continuously working to reduce the risks via regular adjustments of technical security controls and guidelines and policies for IT security. This is done centrally from corporate IT rolling out centrally managed solutions to reduce the number of applications in use. This allows for central management of platforms, master data and security functions, where possible. Additionally, RTX conducts internal employee awareness campaigns regarding IT security. The Group also assesses and tests the IT infrastructure and security level in collaboration with external experts from time to time. The outsourcing of RTX's production to sub-suppliers also in the short-term protects delivery performance in case of shorter duration unavailability of IT service at RTX.
Risk assessment 2020/21 Likelihood: High / Impact: Medium Globally, the number of cyber security attacks is increasing and the risk of IT security breaches thus remains significant. RTX has continued to implement IT infrastructure upgrades to increase the resilience of our systems.

RTX Annual Report 2020/21 Financial Statements

Section 1 Basis of preparation

NOTES

1.1 Basis of preparation and changes in accounting principles 57
1.2 Uncertainties and estimates 59

Notes

1.1 Basis of preparation and changes in accounting principles

RTX A/S is a Danish public limited company. The annual report of RTX for 2020/21, including both the consolidated financial statements and the Parent financial statements, is presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU and additional Danish disclosure requirements for annual reports of listed companies, with reference to the disclosure requirements of listed companies from Nasdaq Copenhagen A/S and the Danish Executive Order on IFRS Adoption issued in accordance with the Danish Financial Statements Act.

The consolidated financial statements and the separate financial statements are presented in DKK, which is the presentation currency for the Group's activities and the functional currency for the Parent Company. The annual report is based on historical cost prices, except items where IFRS require measurement at fair value. Except for the implementation of new and amended standards as described below, the accounting policies have been applied consistently in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for all the years presented.

The Board of Directors considered and approved the 2020/21 Annual Report of RTX on 30 November 2021, and it will be submitted to the shareholders of RTX A/S for approval at the Annual General Meeting on 27 January 2022.

Group financial statement

The consolidated financial statement includes the Parent Company, RTX A/S, and the entities (subsidiaries) controlled by the Parent. The Parent Company is considered to have control when it directly or indirectly holds more than 50% of the voting rights or otherwise controls or actually exercises control.

RTX A/S and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the Group.

Consolidation principles

The consolidated financial statements are prepared on the basis of financial statements of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries by combining accounting items of a uniform nature, with subsequent elimination of intercompany income and expenses, shareholdings, intercompany balances, dividends as well as unrealized profit and losses on transactions between the consolidated entities in the Group. The accounts used for consolidation are prepared in accordance with the Group's accounting principles.


RTX Annual Report 2020/21 Financial Statements

1.1 Basis of preparation and changes in accounting principles (continued)

Acquisitions of subsidiaries

On acquisition of subsidiaries the acquisition method is applied whereby the acquired identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are recognized and measured at fair value. Newly acquired subsidiaries are consolidated from the date of acquisition. The acquisition date is the date on which control of the subsidiary is effectively transferred. Sold or liquidated subsidiaries are recognized in income until the sale or liquidation. The date of sale is the date on which control of the subsidiary is effectively transferred to a third party. Transaction costs are recognized as operating costs as they incur.

Foreign currency

The financial statement items for each of the Group's subsidiaries are measured in the currency used in the country of which the subsidiary operates, while the functional currency of the Parent Company is Danish kroner (DKK). The consolidated financial statement of the Group is presented in Danish kroner (DKK).

Transactions in currencies different from the functional currency in the Parent Company (DKK), are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate of the transaction date.

Monetary items in foreign currencies that have not been settled at the balance sheet date are translated at the closing rate. Exchange rate differences between the transaction date and the date of payment, the balance sheet date respectively, are recognized in the income statement as financial items.

On recognition in the consolidated financial statements of entities that report in a functional currency other than Danish kroner (DKK), income statements are translated at average exchange rates for the months. Balance sheet items are translated at the closing exchange rates. Goodwill is considered to belong to the acquired entity and translated at the closing rate at the balance sheet date.

Exchange rate differences between foreign subsidiaries' balance sheet items and income statement items are recognized in other comprehensive income. Similarly, exchange rate differences arising as a result of changes made directly in the foreign subsidiaries' equity are also recognized in other comprehensive income. Other foreign exchange rate gains and losses are recognized in the income statement under financial items.

The effect of amendments to existing standards

IASB has published a number of amendments to existing standards and interpretations in effect for the financial year 2020/21. None of the amended accounting standards and interpretations have had significant impact on recognition, measurement or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements of 2020/21.

Implementation of the new amendment to IFRS 16, Leases COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions, is optional, and RTX has chosen not to implement the amendment as it was assessed to have no impact on the consolidated financial statements.

New accounting standards not yet adopted

New and revised accounting standards and interpretations issued by IASB in effect for fiscal years commencing on 1 January 2021 or later have not been incorporated in the financial statements. None of the new standards or interpretations are expected to have a significant impact on the financial statements of RTX.


RTX Annual Report 2020/21 Financial Statements

1.2 Uncertainties and estimates

The Group's accounting policy described in the following notes requires that Management makes assessments and estimates and outlines the assumptions for the financial value of assets and liabilities that cannot be concluded from other sources. Several financial statement items cannot be measured with certainty but only be estimated. Such estimates comprise assessments made on the basis of the latest information available at the time of the financial reporting. The estimates and assumptions are evaluated on an ongoing basis. Changes to the accounting estimates are included in the financial period in which the changes take place, and in future financial periods in the event that the changes have effect both in the actual period and future financial periods. The most significant estimates and assessments are introduced below.

Material accounting estimates

In relation to the practical application of the accounting policies described, Management performs material accounting estimates and assessments which may have a significant impact on the annual report's assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date. Management bases its estimates on historical experiences as well as assumptions which are assessed as being reasonable under the given circumstances. The result thereof forms the basis for the reported carrying amounts of assets and liabilities as well as the reported income and expenses which are not directly disclosed in other documentation. The actually realized results may deviate from these estimates recognized at the balance sheet date. The following accounting estimates are likely to be significant for the Group and the Parent Company's financial report.

Recognition of contract development projects

Contracts with customer financed development giving the customers full or partial exclusivity for the outcome are classified as development projects with customer financing being recognized in line with the finalization for the project. The percentage of completion method is the basis for the ongoing recognition of revenue in the Company's use of the production method for contracts and determined by the ratio between the Company's used resources compared to latest total estimate of required resources. The percentage of completion is estimated on an ongoing basis by the responsible employees, and Management carefully follows the development and adjusts the estimates if deemed necessary. The revenue from contract development projects in progress at others' expense amounts to DKK 43.6 million in 2020/21 (2019/20: DKK 82.0 million).

Capitalized (own) development projects

Development costs are generally recognized as expenses in the income statement when incurred. In cases where it is likely that the development projects financed by RTX will be marketed in the form of new products with likely revenue over time, and where development projects are clearly defined (including establishment of technical and commercial project plans), the development costs are capitalized and recognized as an asset. The product's lifetime is estimated when development costs are capitalized. Management has assessed that the lifetime of a typical RTX product is three years, which is therefore the typical amortization period. In the balance sheet the development projects amount to DKK 62.2 million as at 30 September 2021 (DKK 58.8 million as at 30 September 2020).

2.1 Segment information

As per 1 December 2020 RTX implemented a new organizational structure. The previous two business units – Business Communications and Design Services – was joined into one organization still focusing on the three target markets segments; Enterprise, ProAudio and Healthcare. The new organizational structure changes the reportable segments from the two business units to the three market segments in accordance with the internal financial reporting. At the same time the reporting changes from a full-cost allocation model and to only allocating costs directly attributable to the three reportable market segments whereas common functions costs etc. (primarily other external expenses, staff costs and depreciations related to IT, finance, overall management, joint facilities, joint technology projects, and supply chain management) are reported as non-allocated in accordance with internal reporting. Comparable information has been restated to reflect the new reportable segments and reporting model.

For a presentation of the events within the segments in the financial year and the development compared to 2019/20, please refer to the Management Review.

Management comments

In the financial year 2020/21 two customers in Enterprise each represent a revenue higher than 10% of Group revenue. The largest customer in 2020/21 represents 20.6% (2019/20: 19.4%) of revenue and the second largest 2020/21 customer represents 10.0% (2019/20: less than 10%). The customer which was the second largest in 2019/20 (a customer in Enterprise) represents a revenue of less than 10% in 2020/21 (2019/20: 14.0%).

The Group's revenue from customers is specified below.

Revenue distributed to geographic area according to the geographical location of the customer entity being invoiced.

As posted in the balance sheet, all significant assets in the Group are owned by the Parent Company in Denmark and are thus located in Denmark.

2.2 Revenue

Accounting policies

Revenue comprises sale of products, development projects and royalties etc. attributable to the fiscal year. Revenue is calculated net of VAT, duties, etc. collected on behalf of a third party.

Revenue from sale of products is recognized at the point in time when transfer of control to the customer has taken place.

Revenue from development projects at the expense of customers and services are recognized over time as the projects are performed according to the percentage of completion method and as agreed services are delivered. Contract costs are expensed when incurred.

The transaction price of a contract is measured at the expected consideration the Group will be entitled to and allocated to the performance obligations of the contract. If the outcome of a development project in progress cannot be estimated reliably, revenue is recognized equivalent to the incurred project costs in the period to the extent that it is probable that these costs will be recovered.

Royalty is recognized as revenue in the period it concerns. If the income depends on future events including the customers' sale of the products containing the technology developed by RTX, the royalty is recognized in the income statement after this event.

If an arrangement contains multiple deliverables, these are divided into separate deliveries addressed individually to the extent that they have been separately quoted, that every delivery has been separately negotiated and the customer has had the opportunity to accept or reject a single supply and the fair value of each deliverable can be measured reliably.

Costs of securing contracts are recognized in the income statement when incurred.

Other services 731 1,623 731 1,623
Total 457,157 555,869 457,157 555,869

Management comments

Revenue mainly arises from sale of products, development projects and royalties. A contract for a development project is typically followed by a supply agreement for the products developed or a royalty agreement.

The sale of products comprises sale of ODM/OEM products and customized modules at fixed prices. Sale of products normally constitutes one performance obligation and revenue is recognized at the point in time when transfer of control occurs. RTX is usually entitled to payment at delivery which in the majority of cases coincide with transfer of control.

Development projects carried out at the expense of customers are predominantly characterized by a fixed price contract and a duration less than two years. A development project is usually considered a single performance obligation as different elements of the contract are interdependent in most cases. Revenue is recognized over time applying the percentage of completion method based on the ratio between the Company's used resources compared to latest total estimate of required resources. Upon contract signature, RTX is often entitled to a down payment from the customer. The remaining contract amount is invoiced and becomes due at completion of defined milestones as the project progresses.

Royalties are generated by licenses of intellectual property granted to customers. The majority of royalties are recognized in the period the customer report them as they are sales-based and occur after all performance obligations have been satisfied. Royalties from a license granted without a sales-based element are recognized when the customer is provided with access to the intellectual property and as performance obligations are satisfied. Entitlement to payment for royalties usually follows the revenue recognition.

The Group uses standard forward contracts to partially or fully hedge expected net USD cash in flow. Hedging had a negative net effect of DKK 0.1 million on recognized revenue in 2020/21 (2019/20: negative net effect of DKK 0.3 million).

2.3 Cost of sales

Cost of sales comprises cost paid in order to generate revenue in the financial year, including consumables, freight, customs and write-downs on inventories.

Other sales related costs include freight, warranties, commissions, quality assurance etc.


RTX Annual Report 2020/21 Financial Statements

2.4 Staff costs and remuneration

Accounting policies

Staff costs comprise wages and salaries, share-based remuneration as well as social security costs, pension contributions etc. for the company's management and staff.

Share-based incentive schemes in the form of restricted share rights (RSU and Accelerated RSU), where the employees are awarded shares in the Parent (equity-settled share-based payment scheme), are measured at fair value of the rights at the time of issue and are recognized in the income statement under staff costs for the period during which the employees achieve final right to the shares. The setoff entry is recognized directly in equity.

On initial recognition of the restricted share rights, an estimate is made regarding the number of rights for which the employees are expected to acquire final right. Subsequently, adjustments are made for changes to this estimate whereby final recognition of the cost corresponds to the actual number of acquired rights to shares.

The fair value of the restricted share rights is computed by using the Black & Scholes model for valuation of European call options with the parameters shown overleaf.

RSU program:

The Board of Directors at RTX has in 2018/19, 2019/20 and 2020/21 granted restricted share units (RSU) to management as well as key employees as part of the Company's long-term incentive program. The granted restricted share units are earned and matured over a three-year period and cannot vest before the Annual General Meetings in January 2022, January 2023 and January 2024 respectively. Once vested, the employees can freely dispose of the shares.


RTX Annual Report 2020/21 Financial Statements

2.4 Staff costs and remuneration (continued)

The grant is conditioned by defined targets for share price and EBITDA achieved in the three years' mature period as well as requirements on employment. If the restrictions for the RSU's are fulfilled, they are finally transferred at a price of DKK 0.

The grant is in accordance with the company's Remuneration Policy. Besides the Executive Board and four other key management employees, 42 key employees have been granted restricted stock units in 2020/21 under the same terms as the terms for the Executive Board. The total number of RSU's is covered by the treasury shares of RTX A/S.

Due to the weaker financial performance in 2020/21, the number of Restricted Share Units (RSUs) outstanding for the RSU programs issued in 2019/20 and 2020/21 was reduced (lapsed) for all participants.

Accelerated RSU program:

The Board of Directors at RTX has in 2019/20 and 2020/21 granted accelerated restricted share units (Accelerated RSU) to top management in addition to the regular RSU programs as part of the Company's long-term incentive program. The granted restricted share units are earned and matured over a three- respectively two-year period, and cannot vest before the Annual General Meeting in January 2023. Once vested, the employees can freely dispose of the shares.

The grant is conditioned by defined highly ambitious targets for revenue, EBITDA and share price achieved in year two or three of the vesting period as well as requirements on employment. If the restrictions for the RSU's are

fulfilled, they are finally transferred at a price of DKK 0. The fair value of the Accelerated RSU's according to IFRS 2 (i.e. the basis for any cost recognition if applicable) are DKK 178.33 (2019/20 program) and DKK 149.67 (2020/21 program) based on the parameters in the fair value calculation as shown below. If adjusting for the reduced probability of vesting due to the highly ambitious targets the fair value (Black Scholes) of each Accelerated RSU when granted was calculated to DKK 40.44 (2019/20 program) and DKK 34.45 (2020/21 program). The Accelerated RSU program granted in 2019/20 has lapsed due to the highly ambitious financial targets not having been fulfilled and the Accelerated RSU program granted in 2020/21 is currently considered more likely not to vest. Therefore, no cost has been expensed to profit and loss regarding these remuneration programs in 2020/21.

The grant is in accordance with the company's Remuneration Policy. Besides the Executive Board, four other key management employees have been granted Accelerated restricted stock units in 2020/21 under the same terms as the terms for the Executive Board. The total number of RSU's is covered by the treasury shares of RTX A/S.

2.8 Derivatives

Accounting policies

Derivatives are measured at fair value and recognized as other current receivables or other current liabilities, respectively.

Fair value changes of derivatives which are classified as and qualifies for recognition as cash flow hedges are recognized in other comprehensive income. When the hedged item is realized, accumulated gain or loss on the hedge transaction is transferred from other comprehensive income and recognized together with the hedged item.

Fair value changes of derivatives which are classified as and qualifies for fair value hedges are recognized in the income statement together with the changes in value of the hedged assets or liabilities.

Any derivatives that do not qualify as hedging are recognized as financial items in the income statement.

Management comments

The Group uses commercial hedge transactions to hedge foreign currency exposure related to expected net USD in-flow against DKK. Hedging is carried out using standard forward contracts.

At 30 September 2021 open hedging contracts of USD 3.9 million (2019/20: USD 4.8 million) is recognized in other current liabilities at a negative fair value of DKK 0.6 million (2019/20: positive fair value of DKK 0.5 million). The 30 open contracts mature gradually over the following nine months from the balance sheet date.


RTX Annual Report 2020/21 Financial Statements

2.9 Income taxes

Accounting policies

Tax for the year consisting of current tax for the year and changes in deferred tax, is recognized in the income statement by the portion attributable to the profit/loss for the year and classified directly as equity by the portion attributable to entries directly on equity.

The current tax payable or receivable is recognized in the balance sheet, stated as tax calculated on this year's taxable income, adjusted for prepaid tax. When calculating the current tax for the year, the tax rates in effect at the balance sheet date are used.

Deferred tax is recognized applying the liability method on all temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax based value of assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax is calculated based on the planned use of each asset or the planned winding-up of each liability, respectively. Deferred tax is measured by using the tax rates and tax rules of the respective countries which are expected to apply when deferred tax is expected to be released as current tax.

Deferred tax assets, including the tax base of tax loss carry-forwards, are recognized in the balance sheet at their estimated realizable value, either as a set-off against deferred tax liabilities or as net tax assets for set-off in future positive taxable income. At each balance sheet date, it is reassessed whether sufficient taxable income is likely to occur in the future for the deferred tax asset to be used.

Management comments

The 2020/21 adjustment concerning previous years primarily relates to the temporarily increased tax deductibles for development costs according to the Danish tax code.

3.1 Intangible assets

Accounting policies

Own completed development projects and projects in progress

Development projects financed by RTX are recognized as intangible assets to the extent that it is likely that the product will generate future financial benefits for the Group, and the development costs associated with each asset can be measured reliably.

Development projects are measured initially at cost. The cost of development projects comprises costs directly attributable to the development projects.

Completed development projects are amortized over the expected lifetime. The amortization period is usually three years. For development projects protected by intellectual property rights, the maximum amortization period is the remaining term of the rights.

Ongoing development projects recognized in the balance sheet are not amortized, but tested at least annually for impairment.

Goodwill

Goodwill arisen in relation to business combinations is recognized and measured initially as the difference between the cost of the acquisition and the fair value of the acquired assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities.

On recognition of goodwill the amount is allocated, at the time of acquisition, to the cash-generating units which are expected to obtain financial advantages from the acquisition. The determination of cash-generating units follows the management structure, internal financial management and financial reporting in the Group.

Goodwill is not amortized, but the carrying amount is tested for impairment at least once a year and more frequently if indications of impairment exist. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, it is written down to its recoverable amount.

The carrying amount of goodwill is allocated as follows to the respective cash-generating units:

Enterprise 7,797 7,797

As the cash generating activities of the business acquired with RTX Hong Kong Ltd. are now fully integrated into the Enterprise segment, it has been determined that the carrying amount of goodwill now is allocated to the Enterprise segment as the cash-generating unit.

The recoverable amounts for the individual cash-generating units to which the goodwill amounts have been allocated are calculated on the units' present value of expected cash flows.

Other intangible assets

Other intangible assets are regarded as having determinable useful lives over which the assets are amortized.

RTX Annual Report 2020/21 Financial Statements

3.1 Intangible assets (continued)

Uncertainties and estimates

For calculating the recoverable amount of the cash generating units and own development projects in progress, Management's latest budgets and strategy plans for the coming three years are used. These are the inputs for estimating cash flows from the assets over their expected lifetime, and the cash flows are used in net present value calculations to determine the recoverable amount. Management estimates that changes that are likely to occur to the assumptions will not cause the financial value of goodwill or development projects to exceed the recoverable amount. Major uncertainties in this connection are associated with the determination of the discount rate and growth rates as well as expected changes in sales prices and production costs in the budget periods.

The determined discount rate reflects market evaluations of the time value of money, reflected in risk free interest and the specific risks connected to the individual cash-generating unit or own development project. The pre tax discount rate used in the calculation of recoverable amount is 13% (in 2019/20: 13%).

The determined growth rates are based on approved budgets, internal strategy plans and forecast for the coming three years. Estimated changes in selling prices and production costs are based on historical experiences as well as expectations for future changes in the market. The prognoses are based on a specific business evaluation of the expected sales prices and production costs. The changes in sales prices and costs are substantially equivalent to the ones used in the calculations 2019/20.

Management comments

An impairment loss of DKK 1.4 million has been recognized in the income statement of 2020/21 regarding two projects in the Enterprise segment. One is a new adjacency product has not seen the expected traction in sales due to COVID-19 limitations on test and launch at our customers, while the other product has not seen the expected traction in sales.

3.2 Leases

Accounting policies

Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities arising from a lease contract are recognized at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at a cost equal to the corresponding lease liability adjusted for any initial direct costs and restoration costs. The lease liability is measured at the present value of the future lease payments discounted using an appropriate RTX incremental borrowing rate.

In determining the lease term, extension or termination options are included if exercise of the options are considered reasonably certain. Service components separable from leasing components are excluded from the lease liability. Low value leases and leases with a lease term of 12 months or less are not recognized as a right-of-use asset and lease liability, but expensed on a straight-line basis in profit or loss.

At subsequent measurement, the right-of-use assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. The right-of-use assets are depreciated following a straight-line basis over the term of the lease contract. The lease liabilities are measured at amortized cost adjusted for any remeasurements or modifications to the contract.

Management comments

Right-of-use assets mainly relate to lease contracts on buildings. The additions for 2020/21 mainly relates to additional lease of office buildings in Denmark (additional square meters) and Hong Kong (longer lease term).

3.3 Tangible assets

Accounting policies

Plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The basis of depreciation is cost less estimated residual value after the end of useful life.

Straight-line depreciation is made on the basis of the following estimated useful lives of the assets:

Plant and machinery 4 to 10 years

Other fixtures and fittings, tools and equipment, including IT equipment 3 to 7 years

Leasehold improvements Lease period

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual amounts are reassessed annually. Plant and equipment are written down to the lower of recoverable amount and carrying amount.

Accounting policies

Inventories are measured at cost using the FIFO method, or net realizable value if this is lower. The net realizable value of inventories is calculated as the estimated selling price less costs of completion and necessary sales costs.

4.2 Trade receivables

Accounting policies

Receivables comprise trade receivables, receivables from project contracts as well as other receivables. Receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments which are not listed at an active market and which are not derivatives.

On initial recognition, receivables are measured at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost less allowance for bad debts. Allowances for bad debts are recognized in the income statement as other external expenses. The expected credit loss approach was applied for receivables other than trade receivables.


RTX Annual Report 2020/21 Financial Statements

4.2 Trade receivables (continued)

RTX applies the simplified expected credit loss approach of IFRS 9 whereby an expected loss allowance is created upon initial recognition of a receivable. The loss model used for determining the expected loss allowance is based on historic information and consider forward looking inputs. In the loss model, receivables are grouped using credit risk characteristics like obtained credit insurance, customer bankruptcy etc. and days past due in determining the allowance. Subsequent to initial recognition, receivables are assessed individually in the event that specific indicators point to further allowance for bad debts.

The Group and Parent company have no overdue trade receivables for which no write-down is recognized, with the exception of receivables where sufficient collateral have been attained.

Uncertainties and estimates

The Group's credit risks related to trade receivables are assessed on an ongoing basis.

It is RTX's experience that sometimes the credit risk is relatively high, as a substantial part of the outstanding amounts often can be related to a relatively small number of partners and customers.

Management comments

For sale on credit RTX makes use of credit evaluations, credit insurance and bank guarantees to secure the debts. On the date of the balance sheet, approximately 57% (2019/20: 59%) of the company's outstanding debts is secured through credit insurance.

In general, RTX has experienced limited risk of loss on accounts receivables. During the past 5 years only three cases resulted in a loss being recorded and for a total cost equal to less than 0.1% of revenue in the five-year period. Calculated provision for the expected credit loss showed an insignificant difference to already recorded provisions.

Bad debts provision for the year primarily relates to receivables due more than 120 days. Please refer to note 30 for a list of the outstanding debts sorted by maturity. RTX is closely monitoring any effects from COVID-19 on customers' ability to pay, however only limited negative impact has been observed as of 30 September 2021.


RTX Annual Report 2020/21 Financial Statements

4.3 Contract development projects in progress

Accounting policies

Contract development projects are measured at selling price of the work performed at the balance sheet date (percentage of completion) less on account invoicing and allowance for bad debt.

The selling price is measured based on the percentage of completion on the balance sheet date and the total estimated income from each development project. Usually, the percentage of completion is estimated as the ratio between the Company's used resources compared to latest total estimate of required resources.

Project costs are recognized as expenses in the income statement when incurred.

If the outcome of a development project cannot be estimated reliably, the development project is measured at costs incurred to the extent these can be recovered.

When total project costs are likely to exceed total project income for a development project, the expected loss is immediately recognized as costs.

The individual development project in progress is recognized in the balance sheet under receivables or liabilities, depending on whether net value is a receivable or a liability.

4.4 Provisions

Accounting policies

Provisions are recognized when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of events in this or previous financial years, and repayment of the liability is likely to result in an outflow of the Group's financial resources.

Provisions are measured as the best estimate of costs expected for the obligation to be settled on the balance sheet date.

Warranty obligations comprise commitments to remedy defects and deficiencies on goods sold within the warranty period. The liabilities are based on historical experiences.

Provisions on dismissed employees are recognized at the date of the employee's dismissal and are measured as the amount of the salary paid to the employees without any demand for services in return.

Management comments

Carrying amount of due items concerning wages and salaries, personal income taxes, social security costs, holiday pay etc. and other expenses due etc. equals the fair value of the liabilities.

The holiday allowance obligations represent the Group's obligations to pay salary during holiday periods which the employees have earned the right to hold in subsequent financial years at the balance sheet date.

Management comments

Financial risk management policy

As a consequence of its operations, investments and financing, RTX is primarily exposed to changes in exchange rates and the level of interest. The Parent manages the Group's financial risks and coordinates the Group's cash management including financing and investment of surplus liquidity. The Group can use derivatives to some extent. It is the Group's policy not to conduct active speculation in financial risks, but only hedge future net cash flows.

The Group's financial management is directed towards management and reduction of financial risks which is a direct consequence of the Group's operations, investments and financing. The objective is that the Group's financial management will contribute to increasing the predictability of the financial performance, including reducing the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on the income statement.

Liquidity risks

The Group ensures sufficient cash resources through cash flow monitoring and control as well as through the Group's portfolio of current asset investments.

In order to reduce the risk on deposits, RTX only places deposits in banks with a high credit worthiness and investments in short-term bonds. Bank deposits carry a floating rate.

The liquidity reserve in the Group is composed as follows:

Credit risks

The Group's primary credit risk is related to trade receivables. The Group's credit risks are assessed on an ongoing basis concerning the trade receivables. By experience, a relatively large credit risk may occur from time to time as a large part of receivables often relates to a relatively small number of counterparties and customers.

The level of risk related to the trade receivables is highly correlated with the financial status of the debtor. RTX uses credit insurance to the extent possible to secure the outstanding amounts. RTX has one single significant trade debtor responsible for 22% of total accounts receivables (2019/20: 20%), for whom it has not been possible to obtain credit insurance. This debtor has been a close partner to RTX for a number of years and has until date not resulted in any losses.

Trade receivables not written down can be specified as follows:

Approx. 57% (2019/20: 59%) of the company's receivables are secured by credit insurance on the balance sheet date. Provisions for loss on trade receivables are specified in note 4.2. More than 70% of amounts due at the balance sheet date have been collected during October 2021 (2019/20: more than 80%).

Currency risks

The Group is exposed to exchange rate fluctuations as the individual Group entities make investments, conduct purchase and sales transactions and have receivables and payables in foreign currencies. The Group's revenue to customers outside Denmark has been more than 98% of total revenue over the past several years. Moreover, the majority of the Group's purchase of products etc. from sub-suppliers is paid in foreign currencies.

The Group can enter commercial hedging transactions, to the extent considered appropriate, to lower any currency exposure. In 2020/21 the Group used commercial hedging transactions to lower the foreign currency risk of expected net USD in-flow against DKK.

RTX Annual Report 2020/21 Financial Statements

5.6 Financial risks and financial instruments (continued)

Management comments

Interest rate risk

The Group is primarily exposed to interest rate risks through interest-bearing assets and liabilities. The overall objective of controlling the interest rate risk is to reduce the negative impacts of interest rate fluctuations on earnings and the balance sheet.

The Group is only directly exposed to interest rate risks on bank deposits and indirectly on excess liquidity invested in short term liquid bonds in DKK with a strong credit rating. Please refer to note 5.1 on current asset investments.

Uncertainties and estimates

Fluctuations in the interest rate level affect the Group's bond portfolios and bank deposits. An increase in the interest rate level of 1% point per annum compared to the interest rate level at the balance sheet date will expectedly have a negative impact of DKK 3.3 million (30 September 2020: negative impact of DKK 4.1 million) before tax on the Group's income statement and equity.

A decline in the interest rate level will expectedly have a positive impact on the income statement and equity.

Management comments

Capital structure

The Group's capital structure is characterized by a considerable equity share. The business conditions for RTX A/S are characterized by a high degree of uncertainty, which requires a substantial equity, among other things to implement large and long-term development projects at the Group's own expense, for instance in connection with the set-up of technology platforms or by cultivating new business areas and markets. Please refer to the section on Capital Structure and Allocation in the Management Review.

The Group's equity share amounted to 59.5% at the end of the financial year 2020/21 compared to 66.0% in 2019/20.

Management comments

Financial gearing

The Company's Board of Directors reviews the Group's capital structure in connection with the announcements of interim reports and annual reports. As part of these reviews, the Board of Directors reviews the Group's cost of capital and the risks related to the various types of capital.

The financial gearing in the Group, calculated as the ratio of interest-bearing net debt to equity, can be calculated at the balance sheet date as follows:

Amounts in DKK '000 Beginning of year Cash flow Currency effects Lease interests Additions and disposals End of year
Lease liabilities 52,027 -8,270 -7 2,524 15,122 61,396
Current asset investments in the trading portfolio -154,010 -100,952
Cash at bank and in hand -40,785 -19,461
Interest-bearing net debt -142,768 -59,017
Equity 352,192 288,533
Financial gearing -0.41 -0.20

Compliance with loan agreement terms

The Group has not neglected or been in breach of loan agreements in the financial year or the comparative year.

Financial net assets at fair value at 30 September 2020 154,010 531 - 154,541

Financial hedging instruments comprise standard foreign exchange forward contracts with the USD/DKK exchange rate as the main element affecting the fair value of the contracts.

RTX Annual Report 2020/21 Financial Statements

6.5 Accounting principles applied

Accounting policies

In addition to the descriptions in Notes 1.1 - 6.4, the accounting principles are as described below.

Income statement

Other external costs

Other external costs include costs for premises, marketing and sales, administration, loss of debtors, etc. Other external costs also include external costs of development for own financed projects that does not meet the criteria for capitalization.

Balance sheet

Impairment of tangible and intangible assets and capital shares in subsidiaries

The carrying values of tangible and intangible assets with definite life-time, as well as the Parent Company's capital shares in subsidiaries, are reviewed at the balance sheet date to determine whether there are indications of impairment. If there are indications of impairment, the recoverable value is estimated in order to establish the need for any write-down and the extent thereof. For ongoing development projects and goodwill, the recoverable value is estimated annually, regardless of whether there are indications of impairment.

If the individual assets do not generate cash flows independently of other assets, the recoverable amount is estimated for the smallest cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less sales costs and capital value. The recoverable amount is determined as the present value of the discounted future net cash flow from the activities goodwill relates to. In calculating the present value, the discount rate applied reflects a risk-free rate added an asset specific risk premium.

If the recoverable value is estimated to be less than the carrying amount, the recoverable amount is used. Impairment losses are recognized in the income statement.

On any subsequent reversal of impairments, the carrying value is increased to the adjusted estimate of the recoverable amount. However, this cannot exceed the carrying amount that the asset would have had in case of a non-impairment. Impairment of goodwill is not reversed.

Other financial liabilities

Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, trade payables and payables to public authorities, etc., are initially measured at fair value, corresponding to the proceeds received net of any transaction costs. Liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, whereby the difference between the proceeds and the nominal value is recognized as financial costs over the term of the loan.

Cash flow statement

The cash flow statement is prepared using the indirect method divided into operating, investing and financing activities and the impact of how these cash flows have affected the cash position for the year. Cash flows from operations are calculated as net operating profit adjusted for non-cash operating items and changes in working capital, less net financial income and expenses and the financial corporation tax.

Cash flows from investing activities include payments in connection with acquisition and divestment of companies and financial assets as well as acquisition, development, improvement and sale of intangible and tangible assets.

Cash flows from financing activities comprise changes in the Parent Company's share capital and related costs as well as the raising and repayment of loans, repayment of interest-bearing debt and lease liabilities, acquisition and disposal of treasury shares and payment of dividends.

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash less any overdraft facilities that are an integral part of the Group's cash management.

Independent Auditor's Report

To the shareholders of RTX A/S

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements of RTX A/S for the financial year 1 October 2020 – 30 September 2021, which comprise the income statement, statement of comprehensive income, balance sheet, statement of changes in equity, cash flow statement and notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies, for the Group as well as for the Parent. The consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU and additional requirements of the Danish Financial Statements Act.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements give a true and fair view of the Group's and the Parent's financial position at 30 September 2021, and of the results of their operations and cash flows for the financial year 1 October 2020 – 30 September 2021 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU and additional requirements of the Danish Financial Statements Act.

Our opinion is consistent with our audit book comments issued to the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark. Our responsibilities under those standards and requirements are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements section of this auditor's report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board of Accountants' Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

To the best of our knowledge and belief, we have not provided any prohibited non-audit services as referred to in Article 5(1) of Regulation (EU) No 537/2014.

After RTX A/S was listed on Nasdaq Copenhagen in June 2000, we were appointed auditors at the Annual General Meeting held on 26 February 2001. We have been reappointed annually at the Annual General Meeting for a total consecutive engagement period of 21 years up to and including the 2020/21 financial year.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements for the financial year 1 October 2020 – 30 September 2021. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

VALUATION AND RECOGNITION OF CONTRACT DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS IN PROGRESS IN DESIGN SERVICES

Refer to Note 1.2 and 4.3 in the Group financial statements. Work in progress at 30 September 2021 consists of several different contracts and the gross value of work in progress and the corresponding revenue recognised amounts to DKK'000 56,685 (30 September 2020: DKK'000 122,435). Net value of contract development projects in progress totals DKK'000 8,439 (30 September 2020: DKK'000 27,130).

Significant judgements are required by management in determining stage of completion and estimated profit on each project including assessment of estimated costs to complete for the project.

Contracts are signed on different terms that leads to judgement associated with determining stage of completion and estimated


RTX Annual Report 2020/21 Statements

profit. Combined with the significance of revenue recognised and the balance to the financial statements as a whole the valuation and recognition of work in progress is considered to be a key audit matter.

HOW THE MATTER WAS ADDRESSED IN THE AUDIT

Based on our risk assessment we assessed the relevant internal controls for work in progress primarily relating to contract acceptance and terms, change orders, monitoring of project development, cost incurred and estimating costs to complete.

We obtained from management an overview of the Group's work in progress at 30 September 2021 as well as completed contracts during the year. Based on project risk and materiality we selected a sample of contracts where we obtained the underlying contracts including change orders and project reports including cost incurred and estimate of costs to complete. For the selected contracts, we assessed and challenged Management's assumptions for determining stage of completion including estimated profit and cost to complete through interviews with project management and financial controllers as well as our understanding and assessment of the contract terms and final acceptance. Additionally, we discussed and assessed project performance, cost incurred and cost to complete. Furthermore, we performed analysis and retrospective reviews of completed contracts to assess the completeness and accuracy of Management's assumptions applied throughout the contract period.

We have no significant observations with respect to work in progress and corresponding revenue.

Statement on the management commentary

Management is responsible for the management commentary.

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements does not cover the management commentary, and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements, our responsibility is to read the management commentary and, in doing so, consider whether the management commentary is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

Moreover, it is our responsibility to consider whether the management commentary provides the information required under the Danish Financial Statements Act.

Based on the work we have performed; we conclude that the management commentary is in accordance with the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements and has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Danish

Financial Statements Act. We did not identify any material misstatement of the management commentary.

Management's responsibilities for the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements and parent financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU and additional requirements of the Danish Financial Statements Act, and for such internal control as Management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements and parent financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements, Management is responsible for assessing the Group's and the Parent's ability to continue as a going concern, for disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern, and for using the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements unless Management either intends to liquidate the Group or the Entity or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.


RTX Annual Report 2020/21 Statements

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements and the parent 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 ISAs and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark 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 consolidated financial statements and these parent financial statements.

As part of an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements and the parent 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 Group's and the Parent'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 Management's use of the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements, and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's and the Parent'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 consolidated financial statements and the parent 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 Group and the Entity to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements, including the disclosures in the notes, and whether the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that gives a true and fair view.

  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

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

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and


RTX Annual Report 2020/21
Statements

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 consolidated financial statements and the parent 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.
