2020/21 at a Glance

Letter from the Chair and the CEO
Continuing the Positive Development of RTX
Demand increased strongly in 2022/23 and led to record high revenue second year in a row. Contributing to this strong performance is the normalization of past years' industry-wide challenges with component shortages and supply chain constraints. With continued focus on the development of our key accounts and offerings, RTX expects to continue the growth path in the coming years. However, we expect a temporary setback in 2023/24 due to macro-economic uncertainties and high inventory levels at our major customers.
RTX is pleased with our performance in 2022/23. Revenue increased 18% and reached an all-time high of DKK 783 million with very strong demand for RTX products. Earnings improved as well, EBITDA increased by 26% to DKK 108 million and EBIT increased by 49% to DKK 68 million, aided by the growth in revenue. Both revenue and earnings surpassed our expectations for the year.
Strong demand and improved supply chain
Letter from the Chair & the CEO
RTX experienced strong demand for our products and services in 2022/23. The global supply chain challenges were normalizing during the year, and we experienced shorter lead times of components and material in the end of the year compared to what we have experienced in the previous years. This improvement in combination with the strong demand was the basis for RTX exceeding the original revenue expectations for the year.
Demand in ProAudio for our product-based business was high and explains the good performance in the segment. RTX is no longer doing stand-alone hourly-based engineering services in this segment as outlined in the strategy some years ago. The Enterprise segment was growing as well, with growth coming from RTX's large framework agreement customers – both long-standing and newer framework agreement customers. Healthcare segment demand and revenue also increased in 2022/23 where we, together with our customer, are in a transitioning from old products to a new product generation.
The normalized supply chain has led to a high stock level of products at our customers. This situation in combination with the macro-economic situation have led to a high level of uncertainty, when it comes to near-term demand for products from our customers.
For that reason, we expect revenue in 2023/24 to be back-loaded in the fiscal year and demand not to be on the same level as in 2022/23.
Peter Thostrup Chair of the Board
Peter Røpke President & CEO
"I am pleased that RTX has delivered one more year (2022/23) with growth and record high revenue. Looking ahead, I see short-term challenges from high inventory levels at our largest customers caused by the past year's problems in the global electronic industry. However, I still experience strong commitment to RTX and our offerings when I speak to our key customers. Therefore I believe that RTX has an opportunity for further growth in the future beyond 2023/24. Our business model and strategy for generating recurring revenue from the partnerships with our customers, who are global leaders in their respective industries, form a strong foundation for the realization of our ambitions
Peter Røpke, CEO
for the coming years."
Growth strategy
The strong growth in 2022/23 has confirmed the belief we have in our strategic direction: 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. The result demonstrates the scaling in RTX's strategy, and we were able to grow not only revenue by 18% YoY but also EBITDA by 26% and our EBIT by 49% YoY.
Over the past five years, we have grown revenue organically by 10% per year on average despite the challenges with the global supply chain and macroeconomic situation. In total, this corresponds to 65% growth for the five-year period. Growth in 2022/23 has especially been fuelled by our largest framework agreement customers and these customers continue to invest into joint product development activities with RTX. On top of this we have gained momentum in our ProAudio module business with growth of 63% in 2022/23. Together with our own investments in RTX products and product solutions for our three segments, these development activities create the basis for further growth for RTX.
We are satisfied with the growth in both revenue and earnings in 2022/23. We have seen the gross margin stabilize as the global electronic component market has improved during the year both in terms of lead times and partly in terms of cost. In the second part of the year it has not been necessary to buy expensive components on the spot market as in the previous year. An important focus area for RTX in the coming years will be to continue ensuring right component costs as the supply-demand balance in the component markets becomes more normal.
The past years' instability in global electronic supply, where lead times rapidly changed first up to 18 months and then back to a normal level of 3 months, has now led to a situation where inventory levels of products at our large customers are at a high level. We expect, as mentioned before, that order intake from these customers will be moderate in the coming months until inventory levels at our customers have normalized.
However, RTX expects, based on dialogue with our customers and the amount of new product initiatives, that this situation will be temporary, and we still believe in our long-term ambition.
Capital policy and allocation
Due to the strong performance and recovery after some challenging years, RTX revised the capital policy in August 2023.
RTX now targets a net liquidity position (total cash funds plus current securities less any bank debt) of DKK 80-100 million (Note that interim deviations to the target cash level can occur depending on specific growth opportunities or other operational or strategic considerations.).
2023 COP Report for RTX Group CVR NO. 17 00 21 47 Sustainability Report 2022/23
Read more about our sustainability focus areas and actions in our Sustainability report.
This empowers the Board to undertake strategic initiatives, including the implementation of dividend and/or share buyback programs. The Board has reached a decision to initiate a share buyback program amounting up to DKK 20 million during the financial year 2023/24, operating within the Safe Harbor Framework.
Acting responsibly
RTX develops and delivers wireless communication solutions that help people perform at their best. In addition to the direct benefits of wireless interconnectivity, such solutions can contribute to a sustainable global development by reducing the need for travel and the need for physical infrastructure such as cables etc. At RTX, we recognize that our impact on people, environment, and communities globally is broader than the direct impact of our wireless solutions. Acting responsibly therefore also means to strive for reducing any potential harm that our operations may cause.
We are committed to the UN Global Compact, which we adopted in 2014, and its principles on human rights, labor, environment, and anti-corruption. During 2022/23, we have taken actions to continue to advance our sustainability agenda with focus on products and people. Products because they are where we have the biggest impact. People, both employees and partners, because they are the most critical in terms of defining and driving improvement efforts.
The separate sustainability report of RTX details these focus areas and our efforts. It includes our materiality assessment, policies for key areas such as environment, human rights, and labor, as well as KPI reporting for key sustainability areas including employee, diversity, and governance related KPIs, energy consumption, and carbon footprint. Our sustainability report also serves as our Communication of Progress for the UN Global Compact. The report can be found at www.rtx. dk/corporate/csr.
Looking ahead to 2023/24 and beyond
For 2023/24 we expect revenue to be impacted by high inventory levels at our customers, combined with the macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty. The past years' instability in global electronic supply, where lead times rapidly changed, first up to 18 months and then back to a normal level of 3 months, has now led to a situation where our large customers have high product inventory levels. We expect that order intake from these customers will be moderate in the coming months, until inventory levels at our customers have normalized.
For that reason, we expect 2023/24 revenue to be backloaded in the fiscal year and demand not to be at the same level as in 2022/23. Based on the above assumptions, the outlook for 2023/24 is a revenue of DKK 580-630 million, and EBITDA of DKK 45-60 million and EBIT of DKK 5-20 million.
Based on dialogue with our customers regarding their medium- and long-term demand, along with our development pipeline of new product initiatives, RTX expects that the slower demand forecasted for 2023/24 is a temporary supply chain adjustment until high inventories at our customers have normalized. In November 2023, RTX signed a firm agreement with a large global Healthcare company on a strategic collaboration to bring to market a new generation of wireless infrastructure solutions for the Hospital Healthcare sector This agreement includes terms on intellectual property and sales/distribution channels. Through this strategic partnership, we will accelerate the introduction of new infrastructure products and expect our revenue in the Healthcare segment to grow by 100-200% by 2025-26. It will not affect RTX's outlook for 2023/24, but it is an important milestone towards realizing our long-term ambition.
RTX is a people company, and the good results in the past and our ambitions for the future can only be accomplished by the strong commitment and daily efforts from all our employees. The past year has yet again been challenging with a lot of changes in the business that has made planning and execution difficult – and we express our gratitude to our employees for handling these challenges very well. We also thank our customers and other stakeholders for their cooperation and support during the year.

Our extensive knowledge in wireless technology and our comprehensive and scalable end-to-end solutions distinguishes us from competitors. This positioning allows us to provide customized products and systems helping our customers perform at their best, by empowering them to make a significant impact within their respective markets.



Enterprise
Our business
Enterprise
In Enterprise, we help our B2B customers, primarily large global players, provide better wireless communication solutions for their customers. The solutions are used in places like retail operations, healthcare facilities, warehouses, offices, call centers, and public buildings, and in even the most demanding commercial and industrial environments where equipment certified as explosion-proof and water-proof 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.
We provide the know-how, services, and specialist capabilities that help our customers win contracts for forward-thinking enterprise wireless communication installations: Scalable to changing requirements, connections with very high stability, high audio quality everywhere, and easy integration with other systems and hardware.
Market trends
Within the global enterprise communications market more and more businesses are moving enterprise telephony to the cloud to enable digital transformation, greater agility, and better support of distributed workforce. This transition often prompts organizations to refresh their existing endpoints and thus drives a demand for new endpoints - especially handsets and headsets which are replacing the more traditional corded desktop phones. There is also an ongoing consolidation in the manufacturing of handsets which RTX continues to both drive and benefit from. This consolidation is driven by increased outsourcing of handset development and production, especially to pure play ODM/OEM providers like RTX. In 2022, RTX remained the largest manufacturer of multi-cellular handsets globally, according to MZA Ltd., with a share of 20%.
The total global professional market for wireless handsets is, according to Frost & Sullivan, estimated at USD 900 million or 4 million units annually. DECT technology handsets constitute more than 3 million units and are expected to grow 2% p.a. from 2022 to 2025 driven by its mobile nature, superior performance, and cost effectiveness. RTX is experiencing additional demand upside in DECT, primarily from large players in the USA
Enterprise

RTX Enterprise systems are modular, scalable solutions that provide reliable, high-quality audio connections for communication devices in various industries. The devices used by the individual, such as handsets and headsets, connect via a wireless link to USB dongles or base stations within the building or area where the individuals are operating. Repeaters linked to base stations extend the range for the individual's operational area – even outside. This eliminates poor audio or calls dropping out when people move around and ensure people can perform at their best by staying connected everywhere. The systems include other additional features, such as location detection of devices, unique safety- and alarm features, as well as cloud-based deployment and device management tools. Enterprise systems are ideal for all sizes of enterprises. Systems can ensure reliable coverage for 20 to 15,000+ users, making the system and its capabilities easily scalable to meet customers' exact needs.
market, an enterprise market which traditionally has been focused on Wi-Fi/VoWLAN handsets. The total global wireless professional headsets market is, by Frost & Sullivan, estimated at more than USD 1 billion or 10 million headsets annually with growth expectation of 12% p.a. from 2022 to 2026.
2022/23 highlights
During 2022/23, we accelerated the ramp-up of product deliveries under the two newest major Enterprise framework agreements. Both customers are leading global brands with solid sales channels; including the wireless headset area. We also signed up new customers with sales channels in wireless headsets and in the SME market. Additionally, we experienced strong demand in the traditional enterprise communications market, e.g., handsets and base stations. RTX also continued the development of its own financed product ranges, e.g., new versions of handsets and base stations, as well as our cloud-based deployment and device management tools, where we continued to add customers in the pilot phase.
RTX's Enterprise segment growth in 2022/23 was due to strong demand for RTX products and solutions in the segment, and was especially driven by growth among the large framework agreement customers. Communication systems for any requirements DKK million
Enterprise growth strategy
RTX aims to expand its leadership position in Enterprise products and solutions by continuing to gain share and drive market consolidation.
Our pure play model ensures our ODM/OEM customers, that they will not experience channel conflicts with RTX branded products and solutions in the market. Via this model, 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 in the enterprise space, supported by our cloud-based deployment and device management tools, benefits our customers and their end users and facilitates increasing share-of-wallet for RTX.
Important drivers in the coming years will be continued ramping of the partnerships associated with the major Enterprise framework agreements.

RTX makes it easy for our customers to provide unique quality and professional-grade wireless audio devices for their customers.
Market trends
The professional audio solutions market is ever-expanding and relatively fragmented. New application areas emerge, and existing ones convert to modern digital wireless – driven, in part, by a general desire for mobility and wireless connectivity. Our platform driven approach enables us to provide broad coverage of this attractive market with a few select, but well defined, hardware modules and software assets. Additionally, there is a strong match between our platforms and key industry trends – desire for more capacity (number of users and audio channels), automatic configuration, and ease of use; all features we can help address via our platforms.
Across the RTX ProAudio application areas there are sizable and growing wireless shares. Arizton Advisory & Intelligence estimates annual global sales of professional wireless microphones at more than 2 million units 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.
ProAudio

Connecting audio devices in any environment
RTX ProAudio systems provide audio solutions for connecting multiple devices at once in a wide range of environments. Based on RTX modules, the systems provide a robust connection with low latency that can intelligently adapt to the environment. The technology within the modules ensures clear audio without connection interference and dropouts. The RTX modules are incorporated into customers' products creating a system of devices connected via wireless links. The combination of products and number of devices can variate depending on the specific setting from two devices to a base station, such as microphones on a stage, up to 10 devices group-connected creating an ideal communication setup for example for firefighters. The small size of the modules makes very compact product solutions possible, so devices can be small enough to fit the mobility and freedom in movement, the user needs to perform in the best way.
2022/23 highlights
In 2022/23, we finalized implementation of our ProAudio productization strategy. The aim, of this multi-year effort, was to transition from non-recurring revenue to recurring revenue via product platforms – e.g., Sheerlink™ and TeamEngage™ – and associated modules as well as full products for the professional audio market. With recurring revenue above 90% of total revenue, we have successfully concluded this effort. During the year, we continued expanding the module business, both via onboarding of new customers and via ramp-up of existing customers. To support future growth, we have also further enhanced the offering via development of additional functionality and improved ease of integration for customers. During the year we also accelerated delivery of full products. This was partly due to strong demand for products related to live events after the COVID-19 pandemic and partly due to the ramp-up of product launched last year by a major ProAudio framework agreement customer – a large international group and a leading brand in the professional audio space.
RTX's ProAudio segment saw significant growth in 2022/23, driven by strong demand from our key customers, who are delivering specialized products to the ProAudio market.
ProAudio growth strategy
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 being accomplished 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 driver in the coming years will be continued ramping of our major ProAudio framework agreement as well as continued market expansion with our Sheerlink™ and TeamEngage™ platforms and modules.

The wireless solutions, that RTX provides, are designed, manufactured, assembled, and delivered as compatible, standards-compliant modules that customers can quickly and easily integrate into their own products and systems. As a result, we help customers get commercially and technically attractive healthcare solutions to market faster.
Market trends
In Healthcare it is crucial to know exactly what is happening with each patient – and to be informed as soon as the patient's condition changes. Better awareness and more reliable data about a patient's condition pave the way to more cost-effective deployment of healthcare resources, as well as more effective care. Those using healthcare technology in these markets often depend heavily on the wireless transfer of key data about patients, pulled in from increasing numbers of devices, monitoring sensors and other appropriate data points. Modern healthcare technology opens up new opportunities for patient mobility and independence, and for hospital patient monitoring as well as treatment.
IHS Markit estimates the continuous patient monitoring market at 1.8 million in units and more than USD 4 billion in value. The market includes both centralized systems, used in critical care settings in hospitals, and decentralized systems, used for post-acute bedside, ambulatory, home patient, or small and field hospital installation, and both are expected to grow. 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.
Healthcare

Ensuring effective critical patient care
RTX Healthcare systems constitute an infrastructure of access points, repeaters, and modules to integrate within devices such as patient-worn devices and near-patient monitors. The system is based on a technology that supports secure handling of data to provide enhanced reliable connections and reduce downtime in hospitals and other healthcare settings. By allowing concurrent measurement over a single connection, the system provides a wireless connection handling data types such as; heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, and ECG, as well as side-channel information, such as signal strength, battery levels, etc., at the same time. The system is ideal for effective patient monitoring in all aspects of healthcare. As healthcare staff is provided with patient data at all times, the individuals can act on alarms and oversee the patient to secure effective care.
2022/23 highlights
During 2022/23, we continued, in close cooperation with existing RTX customers, development on a new wireless product solution aimed at increasing the ease of installation of wireless monitoring systems for healthcare. We plan to launch this in 2024, but given the nature of the Healthcare market, we don't expect revenue impact from these investments until 2025. As planned, we also continued the ongoing development activities on the next generation of the full ODM product, a wireless transmission product, in close collaboration with our long-term global blue-chip healthcare customer.
RTX's Healthcare segment growth in 2022/23 was primarily impacted by income on development of the new product portfolio.
Healthcare growth strategy
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 bluechip healthcare customer.
- Expanding share of value chain via broadened portfolio and increased production of sub-assemblies and infrastructure.
- Expansion into decentralized continuous patient monitoring.
In November 2023, RTX signed a firm agreement with a large global Healthcare company on a strategic collaboration to bring to market a new generation of wireless infrastructure solutions for the Hospital Healthcare sector This agreement includes terms on intellectual property and sales/distribution channels. Through this strategic partnership, we will accelerate the introduction of new infrastructure products and expect our revenue in the Healthcare segment to grow by 100-200% by 2025-26. It will not affect RTX's outlook for 2023/24, but it is an important milestone towards realizing our long-term ambition.

Sustainability
Performance
Our Sustainability Focus
At RTX, we strive to act responsibly in all we do, and by doing so we want to contribute to a sustainable future for our society. We base our approach on our commitment to the ten principles of the UN Global Compact and assessment of where and how we can make the largest difference.
RTX develops and delivers wireless communication solutions that help people perform at their best. In addition to the direct benefits of wireless interconnectivity, such solutions can contribute to a sustainable global development by reducing the need for travel and the need for physical infrastructure such as cables etc.
We recognize that our impact on people, environment, and communities across the globe is broader than the direct impact of our wireless solutions. We therefore constantly strive for reducing any potential harm, while at the same time considering the needs and requirements of our stakeholders.
During 2022/23, we have taken actions to continue to advance our sustainability agenda with focus on products and people. Products because they are where we have the biggest impact. People, both employees and partners, because they are the most critical in terms of defining and driving improvement efforts.

Our approach to sustainability
The starting point for our sustainability approach and efforts is twofold. One is our commitment to the UN Global Compact, of which we have been a member since 2014, and its principles on human rights, labor, environment, and anti-corruption. Two is our materiality assessment of which sustainability issues and risks are most material to RTX and to our stakeholders. The assessment of materiality for RTX and our stakeholders forms the basis for defining our policies, actions, and risk management for sustainability.
Our material stakeholders include our partners on both the customer- and supplier side. Our customers in all business segments, Enterprise, ProAudio, and Healthcare, have a large impact on our priorities on sustainability engagement. We support their sustainability targets and expect to integrate them into our own targets within the coming years. We actively seek dialogue with our customers in order to understand the potential to reduce the footprint of our customers' products, both in the design, development, production, use, and life extending phase. Our suppliers are mainly EMSs, and we have selected EMS partners, who act globally and have defined clear and ambitious sustainability targets, which they report on periodically. Other material stakeholders include our employees and shareholders. We have several other stakeholders, but their impact on our business is more indirect and less tangible and thus not our primary consideration in terms of the materiality assessment.
In our materiality assessment, we have identified issues, where RTX has a significant impact or significant risk of impact on sustainability. We map the issues according to their importance for our key stakeholders and their influence on RTX business. The sustainability risks and issues identified are evaluated with respect to the potential or actual impact on our business in the near to medium term. The result is shown in our materiality matrix for RTX, as depicted here. The materiality matrix is updated every three years or if large changes occur. Next update is in 2024.
In our annual sustainability report for 2022/23 (which also serves as our COP report for 2023), we describe the actions and due diligence approach taken on the sustainability risks and the issues most important to RTX - including index mapping to the UN Global Compact principles and UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Our approach to sustainability is integrated into how we do business and is described in our policies and guidelines, including our staff policy, supplier code of conduct, remuneration policy, whistleblower reporting program, tax policy, etc. Also, in order to follow-up on our sustainability approach and to institute corrective actions and further improvements where needed, we measure and report on a selection of KPIs related to the environment, social, and governance areas. This includes measurement of our carbon emissions according to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol and reporting to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP).

Materiality matrix for RTX Group
Focus areas and activities
During 2022/23, we have taken various actions to continue advancing our sustainability agenda on both environment, social, and governance issues. We do this in collaboration with large multinational customers and suppliers, who set ambitious sustainability goals. This past year, we have conducted several interviews with key customers to better understand their sustainability priorities. This proactive approach was welcomed by our customers. We will continue to work closely with these partners, firstly to strengthen knowledge sharing, gather data, and establish a reporting baseline, and secondly to set common goals and improvement targets. Our aim is to always act responsibly and proactively help build a better future.
Environment: We have continued our focus on use of resources and climate impact. Our energy consumption has decreased in both absolute and relative terms, and the same is true for our scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions. We have set a 10% reduction target for next year's carbon emissions from electricity. Our district heating supplier in Denmark, our primary scope 2 driver, is on a transition from coal to green energy and is expected to be fully transitioned by 2028. We have also continued our focus on sustainability when developing products and services. With millions of products shipped globally on an annual basis, it is via the products that RTX has the largest opportunity to make a positive difference on the sustainability

front. We have therefore initiated life cycle assessment of one of our key products to assess its carbon footprint and understand where we can make the most significant impact in cooperation with our customers and suppliers. We are also preparing for the coming updated EU ecodesign directive, which will strengthen focus on increased environmental friendliness and circularity of products. In collaboration with our customer Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise, we have applied ecodesign principles and implemented multiple improvements in their next generation base station. Together with our partners, we have also continued our work on making our packaging more sustainable, and in fall of 2023 we will, with our partners, introduce an ambition for 'zero plastic' in packaging.
Social: As a highly knowledge-based company, employee satisfaction and employee development are critical to success and key parameters are showing a positive trend for 2022/23. The annual satisfaction survey confirmed that RTX employees remain highly motivated and committed. Employee absence improved and is now again below our target KPI of 2.5%. Our employee turnover was 8.5%, which is a clear improvement compared to the past couple of years (13.6%), years which were marked by heated job markets, not least for engineers. Despite this improvement, we continue our focus on the well-being of our employees and on the development of leadership competences throughout the organization. On the diversity front, the percentage of female employees in the Group decreased by 2%-points to 18% while the share of female members of Group Executive Management has increased to
17%. Per our materiality assessment, product safety and supply chain management are both highly material issues and risks for RTX. We have our Code of Conduct for suppliers and other supply chain specific requirements, including REACH, RoHS, conflict minerals, and further requirements as risk management measures. Hence, robust management processes have been set up to ensure compliance by RTX Group and its suppliers, thereby addressing the most common risks associated with supply chain and product safety. During this past year, we have finalized our new 'One RTX' supplier qualification and management processes, which included an update of our supplier audit checklist to meet coming compliance requirements and our sustainability ambitions. Additionally, we have strengthened our cyber security focus.
Governance: RTX has a corporate governance policy. We prepare annual reporting on our compliance in line with the recommendations on corporate governance. We have zero tolerance towards corruption and bribery and have a whistleblower reporting system in place. There is no history of incidents involving RTX, and no incidents were reported through the whistleblower system in 2022/23. The female share of board members, elected by the annual general meeting (AGM), decreased from 33% to 20%, but we retain our ambition to increase this number to at least 40% by 2026.
Focus areas for next year
Environment
Scope 2: Ensure a 10% reduction in our carbon emissions (tons CO2 e) from electricity, compared to the previous year.
Scope 3: Initiate scope 3 assessment with our partners – including both supply chain, customers, and third-party support – an important milestone as this assessment will be the basis for future carbon reduction targets.
Life cycle assessment (LCA): Expand the LCA concept across more products and product categories and longer term incorporate LCA models proactively by making them an integral part of our product development process and ecodesign assessments.
Ecodesign: Continuous implementation of ecodesign principles into our product development processes and future products.
Partner engagement: Continue to engage with our partners, both customers and suppliers, to ensure sufficient knowledge sharing and collaboration to push forward the environmental sustainability agenda.

Social
Absence ratio: Group level KPI of 2.5% or below, reflecting healthy work environment.
Competence development: Implement and operationalize new 'annual employee development dialogue' processes and software tool to better support competence development and performance-based culture.
Cyber security: Continuous implementation of cyber security measures and controls, to our product development processes and corporate processes, to ensure cyber security in RTX products and organization.
Product safety and compliance: Regulatory landscape is ever evolving and shall be continuously monitored to ensure products are also safe and compliant in the future.
Supply chain management: Continue to monitor and evolve management of our supply chain to ensure compliance with our RTX Supplier Code of Conduct and the UN Global Compact principles, that it is based upon, including both human rights, labor, environment, and anti-coruption.

Governance
Female board members: Share of female board members elected by the annual general assembly, should increase to at least 40% by 2026.
Corporate governance: Continue to comply with all the recommendations in the 'Recommendations on Corporate Governance' from the Committee on Corporate Governance in Denmark.
Auditors: Election of new auditors for RTX at the Annual General Meeting 2024, as the current auditors cannot continue due to requirement for rotation.
Anti-corruption: Continue to promote our zero tolerance towards corruption and bribery, both internally and with suppliers, and to monitor our whistleblower reporting system.
Performance
Performance
2022/23 Performance Quarterly Financial Highlights
2022/23 Performance
Demand increased strongly in 2022/23 and led to record high revenue second year in a row. An increase in revenue of 18%, EBITDA increase of 26% and EBIT growth of 49%, show the profitability in scaling the business of RTX.
Revenue
The RTX Group revenue increased by 18% and reached an all time high of DKK 783 million in 2022/23 (2021/22: DKK 663 million). The average exchange rate realized on US dollar was close to 2021/22, and therefore has no significant impact when comparing to last year.
RTX experienced strong demand for our products and services in all three segments in 2022/23. From the start of the year, the order book was strong and we have been able to deliver, as we had secured key components. The global supply chain challenges normalized throughout the year, and we experienced shorter lead times of components and material in the end of the year compared to what we have experienced in the previous years.
RTX revenue in the Enterprise segment amounted to DKK 527 million and increased by 7% compared to last year (2021/22: DKK 493 million). The growth is due to strong demand for RTX products and solutions in the segment and is especially driven by growth among the large framework agreement customers.
In the ProAudio segment, RTX posted revenue of DKK 186 million – an increase of 63% (2021/22: DKK 114 million). The significant growth is a reflection of strong demand from our key customers, who are delivering specialized products to the ProAudio market.
Healthcare revenue increased by 24% to DKK 70 million in 2022/23 (2021/22: DKK 56 million). The growth is primarily impacted by income on development of the new product portfolio.

Gross profit
Driven by the higher revenue in 2022/23, the gross profit of RTX increased to DKK 358 million (2020/21: DKK 309 million). The gross margin in 2022/23 was 45.8% compared to 46.6% in the previous financial year. The gross margin development is impacted by a different mix of products and a stable share of revenue from engineering services, which is as planned given the Group's strategy to focus on generating recurring revenue from product sales.
Further, the margin is impacted by the aftermath of a tight component market on especially semiconductors but also on other electronics components. The availability of components normalized during the year, but the price level has yet to fully normalize.
Capacity costs
Capacity costs (staff costs and other external expenses) amounted to DKK 264 million in 2022/23 – an increase from DKK 240 million in 2021/22. The variance arising primarily from increase in staff and use of external consultants.
The average number of employees of 299 in 2022/23 was slightly higher than 282 in 2021/22. By 30 September 2023 198 were employed in Denmark (September 2022: 194) and 100 were employed internationally (September 2022: 100). Employee bonus will be granted in 2022/23 as financial performance surpassed the target.
External costs for development work assisted by hiredin consultants (as freelancers or via outsourcing to e.g. Eastern Europe) increased in 2022/23 particularly related to quality testing.

Capitalized development projects, depreciation and amortization
During 2022/23, RTX has continued to invest in the development of product platforms and solutions for the various segments – including, for instance, cloudbased deployment and administration tools, ProAudio product platforms, updated Enterprise handsets and product development for the Healthcare segment. Development costs of DKK 14 million were capitalized in 2022/23 compared to DKK 16 million in 2021/22. The level of capitalized development costs in 2022/23 is slightly lower than last year, due to the fact that a part of the development work is being assisted by external consultants (instead of inhouse resources).
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, is on par with last year at DKK 40 million.
Operating profits – EBITDA and EBIT
RTX earnings increased substantially in 2022/23 driven by the revenue growth. EBITDA increased by 26% to DKK 108 million (2021/22: DKK 85 million) corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 13.7% (2021/22: 12.9%). EBIT increased by 49% to DKK 68 million (2021/22: DKK 46 million).
Financial items, tax, net profit, and EPS
Net financials amounted to an expense of DKK 9 million in 2022/23 compared to an expense of DKK 3 million in 2021/22. The net expense was primarily caused by the exchange rate variance in USD/DKK.
Given the net financials and taxes recognized, net profit after tax amounted to DKK 47 million (2021/22: DKK 34 million). Earnings per Share (EPS) increased to DKK 5.7 in 2022/23 compared to DKK 4.2 last year.



Cash flow
Cash flow from operations (CFFO) in 2022/23 were impacted by a decrease in working capital. Inventory increased during the first nine months and hereafter decreased as supply situation began to normalize, reaching the same level at the end of the year as it started. Receivables fell primarily due to variance in revenue distribution in the last quarter. Payables fell towards the end of the period, as compontent inventory was used. The higher earnings generated a positive impact of DKK 68 million. The operating cash flows generated were partially re-invested into future growth, via investments in capitalized development projects and fixed assets for a total amount of DKK 27 million (2021/22: DKK 30 million).
Assets, equity, and liabilities
The total assets of RTX amounted to DKK 578 million at the end of 2022/23 (2021/22: DKK 557 million). Receivables are lower than last year and inventories are at the same level. The Group's total net liquidity position (total cash funds plus current securities less bank debt) increased to DKK 138 million at the end of 2022/23 (2021/22: DKK 74 million), positively impacted by the earnings in 2022/23 and negatively impacted by investments into development projects and fixed assets.
At the end of 2022/23, total equity was DKK 377 million (2021/22: DKK 332 million) corresponding to an equity ratio of 65.2% (2021/22: 59.6%). RTX thus continues to have a strong balance sheet and a strong cash position. Trade payables are lower than last year, due to the increased use of components from our inventory. Other payables are lower due to additional payments of salary related taxes etc.
The Group's return on invested capital (ROIC) increased in 2022/23 to 29%, compared to 26% in 2021/22, due to the higher earnings.
Parent company
The comments above relates to the development and performance of the Group. The development and performance of the parent company, RTX A/S, are in all material aspects similar to the descriptions for the Group.

Quarterly Financial Highlights
Q4 2022/23 – strong fourth quarter to end the financial year
RTX revenue for the fourth quarter of the financial year reached DKK 225 million and thus the best performing quarter of the year (Q4 2021/22: DKK 238 million).
FX corrected revenue growth in Q4 was 2% compared to last year. The revenue growth in Q4 was driven by strong sales in the ProAudio segment compared to last year and good performance in Enterprise and Healthcare segments.
Our large customers have received high quantity deliveries during the quarter, which has impacted the revenue positively. As we have large customers with few yearly shipments of products, the timing of a shipment impacts quarterly results.
The gross margin in Q4 2022/23 amounted to 44.9% compared to 46.3% in Q4 last year due to a variation in product mix delivered to customers.
Capacity costs in Q4 amounted to DKK 62.7 million compared to DKK 61.1million in Q4 2021/22 with minor variances on travel costs and cost for external assistance.
With the higher revenue and lower gross margin, EBITDA reached DKK 43.4 million in Q4 2022/23 (Q4 2021/22: DKK 52.6 million). EBIT amounted to DKK 33.1 million in Q4 (Q4 2021/22 DKK 42.8 million).
Outlook & Ambitions
Governance
Outlook 2023/24 Long-Term Financial Ambitions
Outlook 2023/24
RTX expects to continue the growth path in the coming years, focusing on the development of our key accounts, new solutions, and partnerships. The strong result for 2022/23, the high inventory at our customers, and the normalised lead time from 18 to 3 months, impact our expectations for 2023/24. Therefore, the demand in 2023/24 is expected to be lower than for 2022/23. We maintain our long-term ambition and expect our customers' inventory levels to normalise during the first two to three quarters.
Revenue outlook
During the component crises, our customers proactively increased their stock levels to ensure they could meet demand from their customers. The global electronic supply chain's instability in recent years led to significant fluctuations in lead times, initially extending up to 18 months and then returning to a more typical 3-month duration. This fluctuation resulted in inventory build-up both at RTX and among our customers.
As a consequence, we anticipate that order intake will be moderate in the upcoming months until our customers' inventory levels stabilize. This, in turn, will impact revenue expectations for the fiscal year 2023/24. Therefore, we expect revenue in 2023/24 to be back-loaded, with demand not reaching the same levels as experienced in 2022/23.
However, RTX expects, based on dialogue with our customers and the amount of new product initiatives, that this situation will be temporary, and we still believe in our long-term ambition.
The main uncertainty for the year will be the impact of macroeconomic volatility and customer inventory replenishment. The revenue expectation is based on and subject to the following four main assumptions:
• Macroeconomic uncertainty is assumed to be high in the outlook for 2023/24 and will lead to a temporary decrease in customer demand 2023/24

Outlook 2021/22

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, economic and geopolitical conditions and developments, changes in demand for RTX's products and services, competition, technological changes, fluctuations in currencies and interest rates, component availability and fluctuations in sub-contractor supplies as well as legislative and/or regulatory changes.
- No material changes in competitive situation, market landscape, etc.
- RTX revenue driven by a combination of product sales to existing customers and ramp up of new products to both existing and new customers.
- Average currency exchange rates against DKK, especially USD/DKK, is expected to increase slightly compared to current level (11 November 2023)
Based on the above assumptions, the revenue outlook for 2023/24 is DKK 580 - 630 million.
Earnings outlook
EBITDA is expected to be impacted by the revenue level combined with focus on capacity costs, still securing our long term ambition for growth. The outlook is based on the revenue outlook above, and subject to the same assumptions as the revenue outlook, with the addition of the following assumptions:
• Component and logistic costs are expected to have limited overall impact as the supply situation is normalizing. We continue to focus on cost optimisation • Capacity costs are expected to be impacted by inflationary pressures.
Based on the above assumptions, the EBITDA outlook for 2023/24 is DKK 45 - 60 million.
Main sensitivities
While different outcomes, on one or more of the assumptions stated for the outlook for 2023/24, can cause the actual financial results of RTX to differ from the outlook, the outlook is subject to unusually high uncertainty related to the macroeconomic conditions and the high inventory levels at key customers. Secondly, the USD/DKK exchange rate can impact the actual results in 2023/24, as the majority of the sales are in USD.

Long-Term Financial Ambitions
The growth strategy of RTX is expected to lead to continued profitable growth. RTX sets the long-term financial ambitions to reach revenue above 1 billion DKK and EBITDA margin > 16% by the financial year 2025/26.
Long-term financial ambitions
As a part of the annual strategy process, RTX revisits the long-term strategic ambitions, in light of both the macroeconomic environment and the results obtaining the projections for market development. The longterm ambition was updated in August 2023, and going forward, the long-term ambition is looking three years out, setting direction and focus for both short- and long-term initiatives in RTX.
Revenue above 1 billion DKK in 2025/26
The ambition is to grow revenue in all three business segments, by building on partnerships, with current and new customers, and providing quality products in selected B2B target markets. The Healthcare segment has particular focus, and the timing and market-penetration of these product solutions, are expected to be important for RTX long-term development.
Long-Term Financial Ambitions
EBITDA margin above 16% in 2025/26
The scalability in RTX's business model leverages on increased recurring revenue, with limited increase in capacity costs. By working platform based and in specialized markets, we expect to be able to reach an EBITDA margin above 16% in 2025/26.
Current status
With realized revenue in 2022/23 of DKK 783 million, the ambitions for 2025/26 corresponds to an average annual revenue growth rate of approximately 10%.

Organic revenue growth
Revenue >1 billion DKK in 2025/26

Profitability
EBITDA margin >16 % in 2025/26
Assumptions
The long-term financial ambitions are based on constant currencies with the ambitions being especially sensitive to the USD/ DKK exchange rate. They are also based on a stable macroeconomic and geopolitical climate, where major developments may impact the ambitions. Specifically, it is expected that potential recessions and channel stocking at customers, will not have a large impact on customer demand in 2025/26. The ambitions are also based on component costs returning to their normalized long-term trend lines.

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 and for ensuring compliance with relevant legislation and procedures as well as for submitting reports on
RTX governance model
Corporate Governance

Find more information on the Board of Directors and the Executive Management on our website: www.rtx.dk

Composition of Board of Directors
The Board of Directors consists of four to six members, which are elected at the annual general meeting, and two to three employee representatives. 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 by the Chair and Deputy Chair as well as by the full Board of Directors on an ongoing basis and is considered to be appropriate. 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.
At the beginning of 2022/23, the board consisted of 6 general assembly elected members and 3 employee representatives. In March 2023, general assembly elected member, Katja Millard, resigned, due to a conflict of interest.
Pursuant to the Danish Companies Act, three additional board members are elected by the employees for a term of four years with the latest election held in January 2023. The employee representatives serving on the board hold the same rights and obligations as the shareholder-elected members.
During the fall of 2023, the Chair of the Board of Directors together with external experts have conducted an evaluation of the work, cooperation, leadership, composition etc in the Board of Directors.
The evaluation showed that the board members are considered professional, committed, and eager to offer their knowledge and experiences. For the board to add even more value, it will, in the future, focus on leveraging board seats better by distributing the committee work to more members, revisiting the board composition, and continue securing that the board has the right balance between time spent on strategic issues and operational matters. The Board of Directors follows this up annually with internal evaluations and after each regular board meeting time is set aside for the Board of Directors to have a discussion solely among themselves.
Board meetings
At least four ordinary board meetings are held per year. In 2022/23, seven ordinary board meetings were held and one extraordinary board meeting. Extraordinary board meetings are held according to need. In 2022/23, a total of 8 board meetings were held. The attendance of board members at board meetings in 2022/23 was 97% of full attendance at ordinary board meetings and 83% of full attendance at extraordinary

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, risk management, overseeing any whistleblower reports, external audit and to recommend to the Board of Directors the approval of financial statements and the appointment of external auditors. During the year, the Audit Committee additionally focused specifically on Sustainability reporting, IT and cyber security and risks, updated policies, onboarding CFO and preparation for election of new auditors for the coming financial year as required by regulation. In 2022/23, 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 two 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 financial year 2022/23 were issued on 2 December 2020, and it is the first RTX reporting period for which these newest recommendations are applicable.
In 2022/23, RTX complies with all of the 40 recommendations of the Danish Committee on Corporate Governance. In connection with the annual report, RTX publishes the statutory report on corporate governance, cf. section 107b of the Danish Financial Statements Act.

Remuneration
Remuneration of the Board of Directors and the Exec utive Board is carried out in accordance with the RTX Remuneration Policy as adopted at the Annual General Meeting in 2023. As stated in the Remuneration Policy, the overall objectives of the policy are to attract, moti vate 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 longterm 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/Remuner ationPolicy .
Remuneration of the Board of Directors and the Exec utive Board is reported in the separate RTX Remuner ation Report for 2022/23 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 pro grams. The Remuneration Report is available at RTX's website at www.rtx.dk/RemunerationReport. At the Annual General Meeting in 2023, the Remuneration Report for 2021/22 was presented and approved in an advisory vote.

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 a very high share of male candidates. RTX encourages female and international applicants to apply for vacant positions. RTX has an objective of minimum 40% as the proportion of the under-represented gender (currently women) of the total shareholder-elected members on the Board of Directors by 2026. Beginning of 2022/23, 33% (2 of 6) shareholder-elected members of the Board of Directors are female. As one had to resign, due to conflict of interest, the share fell to 20% (1 of 5) at the end of 2022/23..
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 our CSR and ESG report, which is available for download at www.rtx.dk/corporate/csr.
Data ethics
Statement on data ethics, cf. Section 99d of the Danish Financial Statements Act.
During 2021/22, RTX adopted a Data Ethics Policy, which was reviewed in 2022/23 without leading to any changes. The purpose of this new Data Ethics Policy is to describe the principles under which RTX works with ethical use of data and new technology as well as to

Beginning 2022/23, the female share of members on the RTX Board of Directors elected by the annual general meeting was 33% (2 of 6). Due to conflict of interest one member had to resign and at the end of 2022/23 the share decreased to 20% (1 of 5). The target remains to reach 40% by 2026.

raise awareness of our data ethical principles. Our Data Ethics Policy is available at RTX's website at www.rtx. dk/DataEthicsPolicy.
RTX uses data related to employees, customers, suppliers, and visitors to our website and it includes both personal and non-personal data. Our data ethics principles are based on security, transparency and responsibility. During the year, RTX has upgraded its IT security infrastructure and has updated employees' understanding of potential cyber security threats in order to strive to maintain a high level of IT security to protect confidential information and personal data handled by RTX against unauthorized use and publication. Also, RTX strives to act responsibly by considering whether any collection and processing of data is warranted and legitimate and ensuring that it does not violate fundamental privacy or other rights. Further, RTX does not sell any data to any third parties.
RTX will periodically review and revise our data ethics principles to reflect evolving technologies, regulatory requirements, stakeholder expectations and based on an understanding of the risks and benefits to individuals and society from the use and processing of data.
Risk Management
Identifying, monitoring and mitigating risks are key parts of RTX's governance model, and the latest years have seen the emergence of a variety of risks, component scarcity and recovery, as well as macroeconomic and geopolitical instability.
RTX operates as an international provider of technological ODM/OEM products and solutions and is therefore exposed to various risks inherent to our business operations. Managing these risks is an integrated part of our management activities.
At RTX, risks are defined 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 followed by 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 at least on a quarterly basis. During 2022/23, risks stemming from the global component and supply chain challenges as well as from the significant geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty have been in particular focus 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.

Risk Management
For an overview of financial risks and RTX's handling of such refer to note 5.6 to the financial statements in this annual report.
The risk management process
The risk management process at RTX includes the interlinked processes of risk identification, assessment and mitigation managed by Group Executive Management and reported to and supervised by the Board of Directors.

Risk heat map
Risks are assessed using a two-dimensional risk matrix – estimating the impact on RTX earnings and "license to operate" and the estimated likelihood of a risk materializing.


Macroeconomy A
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, over the past years, enlarged 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. While the strong and enlarged customer relationships through framework agreements create significant growth opportunities for RTX, we have maintained a cautious approach to our capacity cost base in light of the macroeconomic uncertainty in 2023 (inflation and recession risk).
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 2022/23, RTX has continued to hedge part of the future (expected) net inflow of USD to reduce such exposure.
Risk assessment
Likelihood: High / Impact: High
During 2022/23, RTX was positively impacted by the demand rebound after COVID-19 and component shortage. However, the high inflation in many countries and the risk of recession creates high uncertainty regarding the global demand levels in the near future. Thus the global uncertainty seems to be shifting from a supply uncertainty to a demand uncertainty. The USD has decreased since the beginning of 2022/23 which has had a negative impact on RTX financials compared to expectations.
B C
Risk description The Group's production is handled by suppliers (contract manufacturers), which are located both in Asia and Europe with the majority of sourced volume from Asia. The Group depends on the ability of these 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 suppliers fail to supply as agreed.
Mitigation RTX is in ongoing close contact with its 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.
Likelihood: Medium / Impact: High
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 for a prolonged period.
Risk assessment 2022/23
The significant disruptions to the global flow of goods seen in the previous years, have normalised towards the end of 2022/23. The supply situation with component scarcity in the global electronics industry normalised towards the second half of the year. There are still few constraints in component availability, and electronics component prices remain high, but overall the component availability is approaching a normalized level.
RTX's Supply Chain organization has continued to work even closer with its suppliers in 2022/23 to always have a detailed overview of the delivery situation and assist the supply base in improving the situation where possible.
Supply chain 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 only to a lesser degree cancellations). The issue has historically been pertinent for certain electronics components from time to time.
Mitigation RTX has a well-established 12-month rolling forecast process in place, from customers via RTX to its manufacturing partners. This 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 buys to fill short-term gaps while working with suppliers to ensure allocation and prioritization. Further, component buffer stocks may be built where possible and attractive to ensure availability of key components.
Risk assessment
2022/23
Likelihood: Medium / Impact: Medium
Lead time for many electronics components has normalised during 2022/23. The extraordinary component stock build up during the component crisis, has started to decreased towards the end of the financial year, as supply situation normalises. .
D E
| 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 50% of 2022/23 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 2022/23
Likelihood: High / Impact: High
RTX's largest customers have had a high purchase during 2022/23 and they currently experience channel stocking. If these customers experience challenges in their demand is will thus have a significant impact on RTX.
Customer partnerships 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. Further, geopolitical disturbances can have an indirect effect on economic growth (see risk section on "Macroeconomy") or could impact RTX's ability to utilize supply chains in certain countries.
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 suppliers with operations across multiple countries and continents, which provides an agile setup in case of significant trade barriers or geopolitical disturbances.
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
2022/23
Likelihood: High / Impact: Medium
The geopolitical instability in the world has increased with the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022 and the war between Israel and Hamas which started in October 2023. Potential consequences of the increased geopolitical instability may spill over to other areas or have an impact on the global electronics production, and can thus pose an indirect risk also to 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. |

H I
| Risk description | Operating in 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 expanded over time 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 bands, that may affect RTX's business or infringe on third party rights.
Risk assessment 2022/23
Likelihood: Low / Impact: Low
RTX CTO Office has continued its increased focus on screening for potential IPR infringements and screening for potential opportunities for taking out relevant patents and the number of patent applications made by RTX is increasing.
IPR IT and cyber security
2022/23
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 a number of different suppliers also in the shortterm protects delivery performance in case of shorter duration unavailability of IT service at RTX.
Risk assessment
Likelihood: Medium / Impact: High
Globally, the number of cyber security attacks continues to be very high 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 and have mandatory cyber security training for all personnel.

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 principles
Capital Structure and Allocation
The guiding principle for the policy on capital allocation and structure of RTX 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, which is needed to support operations. At the same time (ii) ensuring a financial structure maximizing the return for our shareholders. Thereby, any excess capital after the funding of growth opportunities and after ensuring such robustness, should be returned to shareholders.
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 buyback 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.
Updated capital policy
Due to the strong performance and recovery after some challenging years, we revised the capital policy in August 2023.
RTX now targets a net liquidity position (total cash funds plus current securities less any bank debt) of DKK 80-100 million. (note that interim deviations to the target cash level can occur depending on specific growth opportunities or other operational or strategic considerations.)
At the end of 2022/23, RTX has a net liquidity position of DKK 138 million.
Dividends
Historically, RTX has paid out significant distributions to shareholders through dividends and share buy-back programs. Given the previous capital policy and financial performance, no dividends has been paid out the past 2 years.
To proceed with caution in light of the macroeconomic uncertainty, the Board of Directors will recommend to the Annual General Meeting in January 2024 that no dividends be distributed based on the financial year 2022/23.
Share buy-back
In August 2023, RTX announced a revised capital policy, lowering the threshold for initiating share buy back or dividend initiatives. This empowers the Board to undertake strategic initiatives, including the implementation of dividend and/or share buyback programs. The Board has reached a decision to initiate a share buyback program amounting up to DKK 20 million during the financial year 2023/24, operating within the Safe Harbor Framework.

Section 1 Basis of preparation Note 1
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 2022/23, 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 2022/23 Annual Report of RTX on 30 November 2023, and it will be submitted to the shareholders of RTX A/S for approval at the Annual General Meeting on 24 January 2024.
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.
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 of 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 2022/23. None of the amended accounting standards and interpretations have had significant impact on recognition, measurement or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements of 2022/23.
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 2023 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.
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 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 (primarily internal engineering/development time and secondarily any external costs) 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 52.4 million in 2022/23 (2021/22: DKK 33.0 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 47.1 million as at 30 September 2023 (DKK 55.6 million as at 30 September 2022).

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 the majority hereof is 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.
Note 2.2
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. Usually, the percentage of completion is estimated as the ratio between the company's used resources compared to latest total estimate of required resources. Contract costs are expensed when incurred.
The transaction price of a development 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 and license fees are recognized as revenue in the period they concern. 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 the promise to transfer the good or service under each deliverable is distinct within the contract, that the customer can benefit from each deliverable on its own and that the fair value of each deliverable can be measured reliably.
Costs of securing contracts are recognized in the income statement when incurred.
2.2 Revenue (continued)
Revenue by type of income:

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amounts in DKK '000 | 2022/23 | 2021/22 | 2022/23 | 2021/22 |

| Total | 782,777 | 663,289 | 782,777 | 663,289 |
Management comments
Revenue mainly arises from sale of products, development projects as well as from royalties and license fees. 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 (primarily internal engineering/development time and secondarily any external costs) 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. Entitlement to payment for royalties usually follows the revenue recognition. Licenses that are granted for a period of time against a fixed fee for that period are recognized over time proportionally over the period.
Note 2.3
The Group uses standard forward contracts to partially or fully hedge expected net USD cash in flow. Hedging had a net effect of DKK 0.0 million on recognized revenue in 2022/23 (2021/22: negative net effect of DKK 3.0 million).
2.3 Cost of sales
Accounting policies
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.
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. Employees employed in RTX legal entities are defined as "employed directly". Employees employees through service partner in countries where we have no legal entity, comprise the remaining employees.
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 2020/21, 2021/22 and 2022/23 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 2024, January 2025 and January 2026 respectively. Once vested, the employees can freely dispose of the shares.
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 five other key management employees, 50 key employees have been granted restricted stock units in 2022/23 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 and declining share price in 2022/23, the number of Restricted Share Units (RSUs) outstanding for the RSU programs issued in 2020/21 was reduced (lapsed) for all participants. No such lapsing occurred based on the financial performance in 2021/22.

Accelerated RSU program:
The Board of Directors at RTX has in 2020/21 and 2021/22 granted accelerated restricted share units (Accelerated RSU) to group executive 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-year period and cannot vest before the Annual General Meeting in January 2025. 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
2.4 Staff costs and remuneration (continued)
2 (i.e. the basis for any cost recognition if applicable) are (per Accelerated RSU) DKK 149.67 (2020/21 program) and DKK 114.54 (2021/22 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 34.45 (2020/21 program) and DKK 72.33 (2021/22 program). The Accelerated RSU programs granted in 2019/20 and 2020/21 have lapsed due to the highly ambitious financial targets not having been fulfilled. The Accelerated RSU program granted in 2021/22 is currently considered more likely not to vest. Therefore, no cost has been expensed to profit and loss regarding these remuneration programs in 2022/23.
The grant last year is in accordance with the company's Remuneration Policy. Besides the Executive Board, six other key management employees have been granted Accelerated restricted stock units in 2021/22 under the same terms as the terms for the Executive Board. No accelerated restricted stock units was granted in 2022/23. The total number of RSU's is covered by the treasury shares of RTX A/S.

The Group uses standard forward contracts to partially or fully hedge expected net USD cash in flow.
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 2023 open hedging contracts of USD 3.5 million (30 September 2022: USD 8.6 million) are recognized in other current liabilities at a negative fair value of DKK 0.8 million (2021/22: negative fair value of DKK 4.8 million).

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 2021/22 adjustment concerning previous years primarily relates to the temporarily increased tax deductibles for development costs according to the Danish tax code.

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.
Software
Software are measured initially at cost and afterwards amortized over the expected lifetime. The amortization period is usually three years.
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.
3.1 Intangible assets (continued)
The carrying amount of goodwill is allocated as follows to the respective cash-generating units:
| Group | ||
|---|---|---|
| Amounts in DKK '000 | 2022/23 | 2021/22 |
| Enterprise | 7,797 | 7,797 |
As the cash generating activities of the business acquired with RTX Hong Kong Ltd. are integrated into the Enterprise segment, it has been determined that the carrying amount of goodwill 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.

Group and Parent figures are the same except for goodwill which only relates to Group.
3.1 Intangible assets (continued)
Uncertainties and estimates
For calculating the recoverable amount of the cash generating units and own development projects, 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 14.6% (in 2021/22: 13.5%).
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 individually assessed and are substantially similar to the ones used in the calculations in 2021/22.
Management comments
No impairment loss has been recognized in the income statement for 2022/23 (2021/22: no impairment loss). No impairments have been reversed in 2022/23 and in 2021/22.
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.
Note 3.2
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 2022/23 mainly relates to recalculation of lease of office buildings in Denmark (rent adjustment) and new lease contract regarding building in Hong Kong.

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 receivables not expected recovered. Allowances for receivables not expected recovered are recognized in the income statement as other external expenses. The expected credit loss approach was applied for receivables other than trade receivables.
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 or other situations were a receivable is not expected recovered.

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 at times 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 50% (2021/22: 46%) 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 between 90 and 120 days. Please refer to note 5.6 for a list of the outstanding debts sorted by maturity. RTX is closely monitoring any effects from COVID-19 and the current macroeconomic uncertainty on customers' ability to pay, however only limited negative impact has been observed as of 30 September 2023.
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.
The selling price is measured based on the percentage of completion on the balance sheet date and the total estimated revenue (total selling price at completion) 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.

The 28% share of total volume of orders that is non-performed at the balance sheet date is expected to be realized as revenue within 12 months from the balance sheet date.
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.

Note 4.5
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.

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
Note 5.6
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 two significant trade debtors responsible for 16% and 27% of total accounts receivables (2021/22: one single trade debtor responsible for 18%), for whom it has not been possible to obtain credit insurance. These debtors has been a close partner to RTX for a number of years and has a solid payment history which has until date not resulted in any losses.
Trade receivables not written down can be specified as follows:

Approx. 50% (2021/22: 46%) 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. Approx. 77% of amounts due at the balance sheet date have been collected during October and November 2023 (2021/22: 75%).

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 into commercial hedging transactions, to the extent considered appropriate, to lower any currency exposure. In 2022/23 the Group used commercial hedging transactions to lower the foreign currency risk of expected net USD in-flow against DKK.
The sensitivity – the hypothetical effect om result of the year (and on equity) before tax – for the various currencies are calculated as the net position multiplied by the expected change in currency exchange rates.

Specification of the Group's risks in foreign currencies:
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 positve impact of DKK 1.1 million (30 September 2022: positive impact of DKK 0.2 million) before tax on the Group's income statement and equity. The calculation is based on a) the Group's cash position multiplied by the increased interest rate assumed and b) the effect of the assumed interest rate increase on the fair value of the current asset investments as calculated by the Company's bank which manages the investment portfolio.
A decline in the interest rate level will expectedly have a larger 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. RTX now targets a net liquidity position of DKK 80-100 million, according to the Capital Policy, revised August 2023
The Group's equity share amounted to 62.2% at the end of the financial year 2022/23 compared to 59.6% in 2021/22.
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:

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.
Note 6.5
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.

Independent Auditor's Report
To the shareholders of RTX A/S
Report on the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements of RTX A/S for the financial year 01.10.2022 - 30.09.2023, 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 30.09.2023, and of the results of their operations and cash flows for the financial year 01.10.2022 - 30.09.2023 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 for Accountants' International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) and the additional ethical requirements applicable in Denmark, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code. 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 by decision of the general
meeting for a total contiguous engagement period of 23 years up to and including the financial year 2022/23.
Key audit matters
Independent Auditors Report
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 01.10.2022 - 30.09.2023. 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.
RECOGNITION OF REVENUE
Recognition of revenue is complex due to the volume of transactions and the variety of revenue streams within the different segments.
We focused on this area due to the high value of transactions that occur close to year-end and the potential impact of the cut-off date of these transactions on the consolidated financial statements.
Therefore we consider this a key audit matter. For further information on revenue recognition refer to note 2.2 in the consolidated financial statements.
HOW THE MATTER WAS ADDRESSED IN OUR AUDIT Based on our risk assessment we have assessed and tested the relevant internal controls for cut-off on revenue recognized.
In addition, we performed sample testing of revenue recognized around the balance sheet date and credit notes after the balance sheet date to test the cut-off, accuracy and completeness of revenue recognition for the year.
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.
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 other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and, where applicable, safeguards put in place and measures taken to eliminate threats.
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.
Report on compliance with the ESEF Regulation
As part of our audit of the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements of RTX A/S we performed procedures to express an opinion on whether the annual report for the financial year 01.10.2022- 30.09.2023, with the file name RTX-2023-09-30-en.zip, is prepared, in all material respects, in compliance with the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/815 on the European Single Electronic Format (ESEF Regulation), which includes requirements related to the preparation of the annual report in XHTML format and iXBRL tagging of the consolidated financial statements including notes.
Management is responsible for preparing an annual report that complies with the ESEF Regulation. This responsibility includes:
- The preparing of the annual report in XHTML format;
- The selection and application of appropriate iXBRL tags, including extensions to the ESEF taxonomy and the anchoring thereof to elements in the taxonomy, for financial information required to be tagged using judgement where necessary;
- Ensuring consistency between iXBRL tagged data and the consolidated financial statements presented in human readable format; and
- For such internal control as Management determines necessary to enable the preparation of an annual report that is compliant with the ESEF Regulation.
Our responsibility is to obtain reasonable assurance on whether the annual report is prepared, in all material respects, in compliance with the ESEF Regulation based on the evidence we have obtained, and to issue a report that includes our opinion. The nature, timing and extent of procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material departures from the requirements set out in the ESEF Regulation, whether due to fraud or error. The procedures include:
- Testing whether the annual report is prepared in XHTML format;
- Obtaining an understanding of the company's iXBRL tagging process and of internal control over the tagging process;
- Evaluating the completeness of the iXBRL tagging of the consolidated financial statements including notes;
- Evaluating the appropriateness of the company's use of iXBRL elements selected from the ESEF taxonomy and the creation of extension elements where no suitable element in the ESEF taxonomy has been identified;
- Evaluating the use of anchoring of extension elements to elements in the ESEF taxonomy; and
• Reconciling the iXBRL tagged data with the audited consolidated financial statements.
In our opinion, the annual report of RTX A/S for the financial year 01.10.2022 - 30.09.2023, with the file name RTX-2023-09-30-en. zip, is prepared, in all material respects, in compliance with the ESEF Regulation.
