2 ECONOMIC FRAMEWORK

INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC FRAMEWORK

Globally, financial stability challenges continued to see mixed developments in 2024. On the one hand, the disinflationary process continued in most economies, without generating a substantial soft landing, supporting risk appetite in global financial markets. On the other hand, the external environment continues to be characterized by subdued economic growth prospects, particularly in Europe, and a high degree of uncertainty, both as a result of escalating geopolitical tensions and intensifying armed conflicts, and against the backdrop of a major international election year, which is likely to affect the policy mix in the world's major economies, with potential implications for global financial conditions and international trade and capital flows. Risks to financial stability are amplified by a high level of indebtedness, both public and private, as well as the potential overpricing of financial assets in certain market segments.4

According to the International Monetary Fund , the global economy remains stable, although the degree of resilience varies significantly between countries. Global GDP growth in the third quarter of 2024 was 0.1 percentage point below that forecast in the October 2024 WEO report , after the release of disappointing data in some Asian and European economies. China's economic growth of 4.7% in annual terms was below expectations. Faster-than-expected growth in net exports only partly offset a sharper-than-expected slowdown in consumption, anid a delayed stabilization of the housing market and persistently low consumer confidence. India's economic growth also slowed more than expected, led by a sharper deceleration in industrial activity. In the euro area, growth continued to be modest (with Germany performing weaker than the other euro area countries), largely reflecting persistent weakness in manufacturing and goods exports, even as consumption picked up in line with the recovery in real incomes.

In Japan, production contracted slightly due to temporary supply chain disruptions. In contrast, the US conomy maintained its momentum, growing by 2.7% year-on-year in the third quarter, supported by robust consumption.

Global disinflation continues, but there are signs that progress is stalling in some countries, and high inflation is persistent in a few cases. Global median sequential core inflation has been slightly above 2% in recent months.

ECB, in Economic Bulletin No. 8 of January 9, 2025], states that the EU economy grew by 0.4% in the third quarter of 2024, exceeding expectations. The growth was mainly driven by an increase in consumption, partly reflecting one-off factors that boosted tourism over the summer, as well as inventory accumulation by companies. However, the latest information suggests that the pace of growth is slowing. Surveys indicate that manufacturing is still contracting and growth in the services sector is slowing. Companies are postponing investment because of weak demand a highly uncertain outlook. Exports are also weak, and some European industries are struggling to remain competitive. The labor market remains resilient. Employment grew 0.2% in 3Q2024, again above expectations. The unemployment rate remained at its historical low of 6.3% in October. Meanwhile, labor demand continues to weaken. The job vacancy rate fell to 2.5% in the third quarter, 0.8 percentage point below its peak, and surveys also point to fewer jobs being created in the fourth quarter.

Annual inflation in the EU increased to 2.3% in November 2024 from 2.0% in October. The increase was expected and mainly reflected an upward hase effect related to energy. Food price inflation eased slightly to 2.8% and services inflation to 3.9%. Goods inflation increased to 0.7%.

Domestic inflation, which closely tracks inflation in the services sector, fell sightly again in October. However, at 4.2%, it still remains elevated. This reflects strong wage pressures and the fact that some services are still adjusting with a lag to past inflation increases. However, core inflation is broadly on track with a sustainable return of inflation to target.

Thus, in 2024, the international economic framework was characterized by:

  • · The global economy continued to grow modestly in 2024, slowing compared to previous years due to persistent inflation and geopolitical uncertainties.
  • · The United States maintained moderate economic expansion, supported by domestic consumption and a resilient labor market.
  • · Europe faced greater challenges, including weak demand, high interest rates, and the impact of the war in Ukraine.
  • · China sought to revive its coonomy through stimulus measures but was affected by a persistent real estate crisis and declining exports.
  • · Trade, political, and military tensions, along with climate instability, continued to influence global markets, highlighting the need for adaptation and international cooperation.

DOMESTIC ECONOMIC FRAMEWORK

Domestically, during 2024, economic activity growth remained at moderate levels, mainly driven by consumption and to a relatively lesser extent by gross fixed capital formation, while the dynamics of net exports accentuated its contractionary influence. In the second quarter of this year, the pace of growth of economic activity decelerated to 0.9 percent in annual terms, with the significant increase in consumption (+4.7 percentage points contribution to GDP growth) being almost entirely offset by the development of net exports (-4.5 percentage points contribution to GDP growth). Compared with the first quarter of 2024, economic growth accelerated from a level of 0.1 percent.8

According to the data presented by the Ministry of Finances , the execution of the consolidated general budget at the end of 2024 registered a deficit of 152.72 billion RON. Expressed as a percentage of GDP, the budget deficit increased by 3.04 percentage points, from 5.61% of GDP in 2023 to 8.65% of GDP in 2024. Revenues of the consolidated general budget increased by 10.4% compared to 2023, while expenditures increased in nominal terms by 19.1% compared to the previous year.

In total, Romania's GDP in 2024 recorded an increase of 9.97% compared to 2023 from 1,604,554 million RON to 1,764,500 million RON.

In the European context, Romania's quarterly economic growth was below the EU average (1 percent, Q2 2024), but above that of the curo area (0.7 percent), and at regional level it was outperformed by Hungary (1.5 percent), Bulgaria (2.3 percent) and Poland (4.4 percent), with the Czech Republic recording a similar evolution (0.9 percent).

In this context, the absorption of European funds becomes even more important, in particular those of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP), through which Romania has allocated €13.6 billion in grants and 14.9 billion EUR in loans, equivalent to 8.8% of GDP.

The annual inflation rate in the last three months of 2024 rose more than anticipated, climbing to 5.14 percent in December from 4.62 percent in September. The advance since the end of the third quarter was mainly driven by the rise in fuel prices - mainly due to the significant appreciation of the US dollar on the international markets, and to a lesser extent by further increases in food prices, amid the severe drought in the summer of 2024 and the rise in some commodity prices. At the same time, the annual rate of adjusted CORE2 inflation interrupted its downward trend in the fourth quarter of 2024, remaining at 5.6 percent until December.

The annual inflation rate calculated on the basis of the harmonized index of consumer prices (HICP - the inflation indicator for EU Member States) rose in December to 5.5 percent in September 2024. The average annual rate of

8 https://www.bnr.ro/uploads/editor/1402949409.pdf

https://mfinante.gov.ro/domenii/bugetul-de-stat/informatii-executie-bugetara

CPI inflation, however, fell to 5.6 percent in December from 6.1 percent in September 2024. In turn, the average annual rate of HICP inflation declined to 5.8 percent in December 2024 from 6.4 percent in September.10

In the labor market, the economy's payroll headcount resumed its monthly growth in September and continued to increase in October 2024 at a relatively brisk pace, and the BIM unemployment rate fell to 5.4 percent in October and 5.3 percent in November, after rising to an average of 5.6 percent in the third quarter.

The double-digit annual dynamics of nominal gross wages and especially unit labor costs in the industry declined in October, but remained after rising to 16.7 percent and 18.6 percent, respectively, in the third quarter of 2024.

The main interbank money market rates recorded significant increases in the second half of November and remained relatively constant thereafter. Long-term government bond yields increased and prolonged their ascent until the last decade of December 2024.

The RON/EUR exchange rate remained relatively stable in November, on the higher level to which it had returned in the middle of the previous quarter. Against the US dollar, however, the RON continued to depreciate markedly in both months, given the pronounced strengthening of the US currency on international financial markets during this period.

On the basis of the assessments and data available at this moment, as well as in the context of high uncertainties, the Council of Administration of the NBR decided, in its meeting of January 15, 2025, to maintain the monetary policy interest rate at the level of 6.50 percent per annum. At the same time, it was decided to maintain the interest rate on the lending lacility (Lombard) at 7.50 percent per annum and the interest rate on the deposit facility at 5.50 percent per annum. The Council of Administration of the NBR also decided to maintain the current levels of the minimum reserve ratios for credit institutions' liabilities in RON and foreign currency.

Regarding the number of newly established companies, data from the National Trade Register 1 show that 124,898 new registrations were registered in Romania in 2024, down by 14.63% compared to 2023. On the other of companies that suspended their activity in 2024 was 18,716, up 14.58% compared to the number of companies that went into insolvency was 7,274, +9.38% compared to 2023 (2023: 6,650 companies).

CAPITAL MARKET

In order to outline the international context for equity markets, we present below the year-end 2024 annual dynamics of some representative indices. In the US, the S&P 500 index rose by 24.58%, while in the FTSE 100 appreciated by 5.69%. In the euro area, the German DAX index recorded a positive performance of 18.85%, while the MSCI Emerging Markets index gained 4%.

The performance of European equity markets stabilized in the second half of 2024, with the main EU indices (Euro Stoxx. 50 and STOXX 600) registering +0.7% and -0.7% respectively at the end of December compared to the end of the second quarter of 2024. Macro-economic uncertainty and geopolitical tensions had a significant impact on European equities. Globally, markets are up 5.3% in the second half of 2024 compared to end-June 2024, despite higher levels of volatility.

In August 2024, a spike in volatility caused by weaker-than-expected economic indicators in the US and the reversal of the Yen carry trade led to a temporary fall in prices. However, global equity indices recovered quickly in the following weeks.

11 https://www.onrc.ro/index.php/ro/statistici

Despite the positive global performance, equity markets continue to be characterized by nervousness and uncertainty about the future path of interest rates. On December 18, the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) spiked again, driven by investor reactions to slower-than-expected projections for monetary policy easing in 2025.

The US market has continued to demonstrate strong growth (+8.4% in the second half of 2024), widening the gap with its EU counterparts. In addition, this divergence is also evident in price-to-earnings (P/E) ratios, where US values are significantly above historical averages, indicating a possible overvaluation. In contrast, EU firms' ratios have remained constant at long-term average levels. The difference is largely attributable to the strong performance of the "Magnificent Seven" group of technology stocks; without them. P/E ratios would be much less divergent.

ESMA-supervised markets continued to be resilient in the second half of 2024, despite higher volatility than in the first half and significant ongoing geopolitical risks and uncertainties, including regarding the extent of possible further monetary policy easing. Overall, risks remain at elevated levels. Political risks continue to increase, with considerable uncertainty in key EU Member States and internationally. Budget difficulties, pooming public debt problems. trade conflicts and other major political controversies have the potential to destabilize financial markets.

The continued rise in equity markets and record levels of crypto-asset valuations, fueled by expectations of a deregulatory policy agenda, underscore concerns about a possible decoupling of financial markets from economic realities. Risks are compounded by the increased likelihood of technological disruptions, in particular from cyber and hybrid threats, which continue to intensify amid geopolitical tensions.

European equity valuations declined in Q4 2024, continuing the diverging performance trend between EU and US stock indices anid heightened economic policy uncertainty. Within the EU, considerable performance disparities persisted across sectors and countries. In fixed income markets, corporate bond spreads reached historically low levels, particularly in the high-yield (HY) segment.

The securities market for the period ahead presents a set of risks related to:

  • · Uncertainty about the possible discrepancy in the timing and level of monetary easing between the US and the EU could lead to market corrections.
  • · Heightened geopolitical risks and economic policy uncertainty increase the likelihood of market volatility.
  • · Corporate bond spreads are at historically low levels, including high-yield (HY) corporate bonds; there are concerns that yield-seeking and excessive risk-taking could lead to mispricing and a sharp repricing of risk as macroeconomic conditions change.
  • · Given the reord valuations of the US stock market, there is a risk of disproportionate reactions to unexpected events amid persistent market jitters.

According to the preliminary consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024, the company's total assets decreased by 0.88% (RON 511 million) compared to the balance as of December 31, 2023. This variation was realized on the background of the decrease in current assels (RON 3,894 million), offsel by the increase in non-current assets (RON 3,383 million).

The change in the fixed asset balance was primarily driven by an increase in intangible and tangible fixed assets as inflows during 2024 (including the impact from newly acquired subsidiaries) exceeded depreciation, net impairments and the decrease in decommissioning asset upon review.

The change in the current assets balance was mainly due to a decrease in cash equivalents and a decrease in other financial assets as a result of a decrease in short-term investments, partly offset by an increase in other assets, in particular advances paid on tangible fixed assets and excise duty related amounts, as a result of legislative changes.

Revenues from sales decreased by 7.84% (RON 3,043 million) during 2024 compared to the revenues recorded in 2023. This variation was mainly due to lower commodity prices and lower volumes of natural gas sales, partially offset by higher volumes of electricity sales.

Operating income decreased during 2024 by 35.73% (RON 2,699 million) compared to 2023, mainly as a result of more difficult market conditions and impairments made in the Exploration and Production segment reported in the last quarter of 2024.

5. LITIGATIONS

The Administrator shall ensure the defense, exercise and enforcement of the Company. In this scope, legal services are provided by legal advisers and lawyers.

In the records of the Special Situation Department, as of December 31, 2024, there are a total of 22 court files, of which 14 files are related to disputes with professionals, 6 civil and 2 criminal. With regard to the 2 criminal litigations we note that in these files Longshield Investment Group is the injured party respectively.

In most of the disputes, the Company acts as plaintiff or appellant, the subject matter of the litigations being, the annulmentrecognizing the absolute nullity of some of the SGM of the entitles in the Company's portfolio. Examples in this regard are the litirea Shopping Center SA, Metalurgica SA, Alstom Transport SA and 24 lanuarie SA. It should be noted that there are several litigations with some of the companies listed above.

A total of 14 cases relate to litigations with professionals in which Longshield Investment Group SA is the main plaintiff or intervener.

Some of these litigations have as object the annulment declaration of absolute nullity of some AGM decisions considered unlawful at companies in the Longshield Investment Group SA portfolio, such as Unirea Shopping Center, Metalurgica, Alstom Transport SA.

Another series of litigations in this category were those arising as a result of Law 151/2014 on the clarification of the legal status of shares traded on the RASDAQ market or on the unlisted securities market.

Longshield Investment Group SA is secking to order the companies to pay the consideration for the shares owed as a result of the withdrawal requests and the determiuation of the price per share. Only the dispute with Timpuri Noi SA, a company that filed for bankruptcy on December 15, 2020, remains in this category. The company was entered in the creditor's estate and, as a result of the bankruptcy proceedings and the sale of the company's assets, on July 22, 2022, SIF Muntenia (Longshield Investment Group SA) fully collected the claim in the amount of RON 2,628,454.56, as it was registered in the consolidated list of creditors of the debtor Timpuri Noi SA. The file registered in the database at the moment is a claims file, suspended following the opening of the bankruptcy proceedings.

With regard to registered civil litigations, on 12/31/2024 they are 6, of which only ones that remained pending before courts in which SIF Muntenia (Longshield Investment Group SA) is called in guarantee (or the issuance of decisions for damages is requested), by companies in which SIF Muntenia was at some point in time a shareholder, in order to be obliged to pay sums of money in the event that the claims for the asses belonging to the respective companies

were admitted and the company obliged to return the goods from its asses, the exception of lack of legal standing of SIF Muntenia (Longshield Investment Group SA) was raised, arguing that, according to the legal provisions applicable in the matter, compensation can only be made by the State institutions involved, i.e. AVAS or the Romanian State through the Ministry of Finance. This solution was confirmed by the High Court of Cassation and Justice (ICCJ).

We make it clear that Longshield Investment Group SA has never been obliged to pay any sum of money in litigations with this subject matter.

The management of the Administrator will continue to take all necessary steps to defend the est of the Company and its shareholders in all these litigations, in accordance with the legal provisions.

6. RISK MANAGEMENT

Risk management is the totality of activities aimed at identifying, monitoring and controlling risks in order to ensure compliance with the principles of the general risk policy. The risk management system of the Company includes a set of analyses, diversification charts of the exposures of the financial instruments in the portfolio, together with the identification and assessment of financial risks, as well as proposals to mitigate the effects of risks related to the investment and general activities of the Administrator.

The Administrator has implemented in its organizational structure the permanent function, which also covers risk management for the Company. Within this structure, procedures are implemented to guide the risk management activity in order to properly identify, assess, manage and monitor all relevant risks in accordance with the provisions of Articles 30-37 of Regulation (EU) no. 231/2013.

In 2024 there were no changes to the Risk Profile for the Company. The Risk Profile is defined in terms of the level of risk appetite associated with each significant risk category, based on the Company's risk tolerance and business strategy,

RISKS WITH MAJOR IMPLICATIONS

The main macroeconomic risks present in 2024 were geopolitical uncertainty, inflation, and social and political developments generated by electoral cycles in the European Union and Romania. These factors have important economic, financial, social and political implications.

Geopolitical risks remained elevated in 2024 due to the war between Russia and Ukraine and the potential regional escalation of the Middle East, with adverse implications for global commodity markets and supply chains. The evolution of these conflicts generates considerable uncertainties and risks to the outlook for economic activity, including the medium of inflation, through the possible multi-pronged effects on purchasing power and consumer confidence, as well as on business activity, and through the potential for a more severe impact on the economy and risk perceptions on economic indicators. At this time, it is very difficult to predict an end to the military conflicts, even though a ceasefire has been signed between Israel and Hamas, which entered into force on January 19, 2025. With regard to the conflict in Ukraine, even if, with the installation of the Trump regime (January 20, 2025), an attempt will be made to establish peace in this territory, it is to be assumed that the economic war, generated in particular by sanctions, between Western Europe, USA and Russia will continue long after the ceasefire.

Inflation remained an economic factor affecting the entire Romanian economy, but mainly final consumers. The annual inflation rate stood at 5.6% in 2024, outside the range targeted by the NBR (2.5%+/- 1 percentage point). In connection with the decisions of the NBR's monetary policy meetings in 2024, it should be noted that the monetary policy rate started the year at 7% and underwent two minor corrections (of 25bp each) at the July and August meetings, ending the year at 6.5%. The possible casing of inflationary pressures will pave the way for a further loosening of monetary policy તુરત જિલ્લાના the NBR will be able to start a new cycle of interest rate cuts starting in spring 2025.

The risks associated with the electoral cycles in the European Union and Romania have added an accelcration of political uncertainties, potentially creating and instability for the Romanian economic environment. Political changes add uncertainty by their very nature, bringing volatility to the stock market during electoral periods.

It should also be noted that the implications of the events described above require continuous monitoring and corrective measures adapted to crisis situations by the Administrator.

SIGNIFICANT RISKS

The risk management policy is based on a system of limits used to monitor and control risks. The share price movements in the portfolio did not lead to the risk limits being exceeded.

During 2024, the following categories of potential or existing risks to which the Company is exposed were and evaluated:

1. Market risk

The majority of Longshield Investment Group's assets are subject to market risk, defined as the risk of loss on income statement, balance sheet and off-balance sheet positions due to fluctuations in the prices at which the financial securities in the portfolio trade. These fluctuations are attributable to changes in market variables such as equity prices, interest rate movements or changes in foreign exchange rates, which could change the financial instruments held

For the measurement and assessment of market risks, the VaR of the tradable sub-portfolio is calculated, an indicator that expresses the maximum potential loss, with a certain probability of error, expected in a given period of the premise that past price developments will determine the behavior of prices in the future. The VaR calculated was 1.66% with a probability of 99%, placing the Company within the low risk limits, in accordance with the Risk Profile.

2. Currency risk

Currency risk is the current or future risk of an adverse effect on profits and capital as a result of adverse movements in foreign exchange rates which could have an unfavorable effect on investments. It is determined by summing all investments exposed to currency risk and then reporting them as total assets. The currency risk of the Company's portfolio at the end of December 2024 was 6.40%. This is within the low risk range (3.51 - 7.00%) assumed in the risk profile.

3. Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the current or future risk of earnings and capital being adversely affected as a result of adverse changes in interest rates. Bank deposits held by the Company are interest-bearing assets generally invested at short-term interest rates and are not exposed to a major risk of change. The Company does not use derivatives to hedge against interest rate fluctuations.

4 Credit risk

Credit risk is the current or future risk of negative impact on profits and capital as a result of the debtor's failure to perform its contractual obligations, due to the inability, inability or unwillingness of the business partners to fulfilt their contractual obligations.

The credit risk exposure on fund units was reduced by the following measures:

· Due diligence of the entities in which it invests so as to ensure that a sound and prudent investment strategy is in place, aligned with the Company's investment strategy; ontru id

od for ide

· Monitor fund performance as well as the individual performance of the most significant investments;

· Monitor events that could indicate a decline in the value of the fund units, such as a decline in the market in which the fund is invested or in a sector of an industry corresponding to a significant sub-portfolio.

The exposure to credit risk related to equity securities arises mainly from the possibility to meet obligations. falling due as a result of the loss-making previous years, which have fully capital. For the Company, the Administrator's Risk Management Department calculates indicators that determine the value of exposures to the shares issued by listed and unlisted companies in the portolio with a high level of bankruptey risk, as a proportion of the value of equity. Thus, both the exposure ratio to lised issuers with high bankruptcy risk and the exposure ratio to unlisted issuers with high bankruptey risk shall be within the limits set by the approved risk profile.

u Concentration risk

Concentration risk is the risk arising from exposures to each counterparty, including central counterparties, groups of related counterparties and counterparties in the same economic sector, the same geographical region, or that perform the same activity, supply the same commodity or to the same issuer. It shall be analyzed using the ratio of that exposure to the value of total assets, and shall be subject to predetermined limits. Concentration risk is broken down into six indicators which form part of the risk profile and are set out below. All within the assumed risk tolerance.

Table no. 5.1: Risk indicators on 12/31/2024

6. Country risk

Country risk is the risk of exposure to losses determined by the economic, social and political conditions of the country of origin of the entity that issued the securities in the portfolio, or by the economic, social and political conditions of the country in which the capital markets on which they are traded operate. At the end of 2024, 93.60% of the Fund's total assets are invested in products denominated in RON, so it is necessary to analyze Romania's sovereign rating. It is currently ranked at the lower end of the "recommended for investment" category by all three main rating agencies (Moody's, Fitch and Standard & Poor's).

Fitch and Standard & Poor's have reconfirmed on December 18, 2024 and January 24, 2025, respectively, Romania's long-term foreign currency debt ratings at BBB-, but both agencies have lowered the outlook from stable to negative.

For 2025, the rating agencies have planned the following ratings: S&P in April and October, Fitch in February and August and Moody's in March and September.

7. Counterparty risk

Counterparty risk is the risk that one party to a contract will fail to fuffil its contractual obligations, resulting in a loss for the other party; this risk arises mainly from OTC derivative transactions in the financing of financial instruments. Exposure to credit institution risk also arises mainly from relationships with which available cash is deposited. In order to manage this risk, the Administrator has chosen local credit institutions for the deposit of its cash on hand, the financial soundness of which it monitors on the basis of publicly available information.

The Company did not carry out in 2024 any transactions in derivative financial instruments, as defined in Section C points 4 -10 of Annex I to Directive 2004/39/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of April 21, 2004 on markets in financial instruments, implemented by Articles 38 and 39 of Regulation no. 1287/2006 implementing Directive 2004/39/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards record-keeping obligations for investment firms, transaction reporting, market transparency, admission of financial instruments to trading, and defined terms for the purposes of that Directive.

It also analyzes the possibility of institutions providing services (such as asset custody services) or situations where trades are executed in shares bonds issued by non-listed companies on a regulated market or a multilateral trading facility. According to the calculations, the results are within the parameters set in the risk profile. The lack of a portfolio of derivatives or pending (unsettled) trades places the Company in the very low risk zone.

8. Liquidity risk

Liguidity risk is the current or future risk of a negative impact on profits and capital resulting from the Company's inability to meet its obligations as they fall due. Liquidity risk is a relevant risk for the Company, as the closed-end structure results in relatively low prudential regard to liquidity (shareholders cannot request share buybacks).

The Administrator's Risk Management Department monitors available iiquidity in the form of cash and highly liquid assets against its short-term obligation for calculating liquidity is "Liguid Assets/Average Monthly Expenditure", which as of 12/31/2024 has a value of 40.62 and expresses that the Company can meet its current obligations from the liquid asses it holds. This indicator is categorized as very low risk according to the risk profile, which means that the amount of cash or cash equivalent is at least five times the amount of average monthly expenses tru ide

Another liquidity indicator tracked is the grouping of assets into the liquidity bands specified in the Guidance on Reporting Obligations in accordance with Article 3, para. (3), let. (d) and Article 24, para. (1), (2) and (4) of AIF M - ESMA/2014/869 (118, 119), i.e. the percentage of the Company's portfolio that can be liquidated in each of the specified liquidity periods. In order to limit/avoid liquidity risk, the Administrator adopts a prudent cash outflow policy.

The liquidity bands are those set out in Regulation (EU) No 231/2013 as follows:

Percentage of the portfolio that can be liquidated within:
0-1 day 2-7 days 8-30 days 31-90 days 91-180 days 181-365 days over 365 days
0.03% 0.32% 2.01% 6.01% 6.52% 29.18% 55.93%

Table 5.3: Liquidity bands

For the Company, the percentages of assets falling within the liquidity bands in relation to total assets under management have been calculated. Portfolio positions have been assigned to one or more periods based on the time frame over which they could reasonably be liguidated at or close to book value, totaling 100%. Calculations for year-end 2024 show that the fund is categorized for four maturity bands as medium-risk, one band as high-risk (91-180 days), one band as very high-risk (2-7 days), and one band as very low-risk (181-365 days). In this chapter we can note that even though the Longshield Investment Group SA fund has a higher liguidity risk exposure component for certain maturities, the fund is not by its nature exposed to redemption requests. For this reason, the potential impact of the obligations assumed by the fund is very limited and they can be honored at any time. In other words, considering also the assumptions expressed in the Annual Liquidity Test, we are entitled to emphasize that Longshield Investment Group SA is a sufficiently liquid fund so that it can honor at any time the obligations resulting from the liabilities on the balance sheet.

9. Operational risk

Operational risk is the risk of loss resulting either from the use of inadequate or failed internal processes, people or systems or from external events and actions. Legal risk is also included within this risk category.

In 2024, the main macroeconomic risks present were geopolitical uncertainty, inflation, and social and political developments generated by electoral cycles in the European Union and Romania. These risk factors have been described under Risks with major implications.

The Administrator, Ihroughout year 2024 , has provided IT security protection through a proprietary architecture that integrates firewalls, data loss protections, intrusion prevention systems, anti-malware and anti-virus solutions. The Administrator's set of policies and procedures is tailored to maintain an optimal level of cybersecurity, thereby mitigating the risks generated by cybersecurity incidents.

In 2024, there were no reported risks of loss resulting from either the use of inadequate internal processes, people or systems or from internal processes, people or systems that did not perform their function properly or from external events.

10. Strategic risk

Strategic risk is the current or future risk of negative impact on profits and capital caused by a failure to respond to changes in the business environment, taking unfavorable business decisions or implementing them inadequately. In conditions of broad volatility in the capital market, there to achieve the management plan as communicated to investors, as a result of not realizing the expected dividend income when preparing the income and expense budget, as well as the negative influence of the decrease in holdings measured at fair value through profit and loss. Macro influences may have an impact on the Company's portfolio companies and consequently on investment activity.

11. Reputational risk

Reputational risk is the current or future risk of negative impact on profits and capital resulting from the unfavorable perception of the institution's image by customers, counterparties, shareholders, investors or supervisors.

The Company's press appearances are monitored on a daily basis, through a specialized PR firm, and communicated to the executive management of the Administrator and the BoD in order to take measures to manage potential situations, if necessary.

12. Systemic and contagion risk

Systemic and contagion risks are defined as the failure of an entity to meet its obligations arising from its participation in a system, or in the financial market, which leads to the failure of other participants to meet their obligations on time. This failure to meet obligations may cause significant liquidity or credit problems and, as a consequence, may jeopardize stability or confidence in the financial system,

The systemic and contagion risks include Russia's war against Ukraine and the confrontation between Israel and Hamas. The conflict between Israel and Hamas raises concerns that it could spread on a wider scale, involving other states in the region, such as Iran. Such regional players may generate concerns and possible other international economic consequences with effects that are difficult to quantify (oil crisis, ensis in freight and passenger transportation and related industries) or trigger a global liquidity crisis

On the other hand, in the Longshield Investment Group portfolio, Banca Transilvania SA can be considered as an exposure that adds systemic risk, mainly due to the banks size. Banca Transilvania is the Company's main holding, providing stability and growth to the portfolio. Banca Transily the largest bank in the Romanian banking system, with over 20% market share in terms of assets. As a universal bank, it covers all customer segments and business Ines in the financial sector. The bank's business on the small and medium-sized enterprise sector, entrepreneurship and individual customers.

For the permanent monitoring of the systemic risk generated by this exposure, the Company has access to and analyzes the assessments made by rating agencies and the public assessments made by the NBR. In relation to the rating assessments of Banca Transilvania, in 2024, the Bank has been rated by two international rating agencies, Moody's (Baa3, with positive outlook) and Fitch (from 'BB+' to 'BBB-1, with stable outlook),

The stock (symbol TLV) has generated shareholder value year after year and is included in the FTSE Global Equities Index Series (since 2020), making it one of the most listed on the BVB. The company has an exposure to Banca Transilvania of 25.17% of the total assets certified by the custodian bank for 12/31/2024. With regard to this exposure, we consider that the analysis of the NBR's complex assessments made by the rating agencies, lead to a permanent monitoring of the systemic risk generated by this exposure.

13 . Sustainability risks

Sustainability risk means an environmental, social or governance event or condition that, ff it occurs, could cause an actual or potential material adverse effect on the investment. Currently SAI Muntenia Invest SA does not take into account the negative effects of investment decisions on sustainability factors according to Art. 4 para. (1) let. (b) of EU Regulation 2019/2088 of 11/27/2019 on sustainability disclosures in the financial services sector as currently the investment policies of the funds under management consider making investments predominantly in financial products on the Romanian market, which do not offer a sufficiently diversified range of risk-adjusted investment opportunities that provide sufficient transparency on the impact of economic activities on sustainability factors, as defined in the applicable legislation.

The holding limits for the Company's portolio and the categories of assets in which the Company may invest are defined by the applicable legislation respectively:

  • · Directive 2011/61/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on Alternative Investment Fund Managers and amending Directives 2003/41/EC and 2009/65/EC and Regulations (EC) No 1060/2009 and (EU) No 1095/2010 (AIFMD);
  • · Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 231/2013 supplementing Directive 2011/61/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to exemptions, general operating conditions, depositaries, leverage, transparency and supervision, hereinafter referred to as Delegated Regulation (EU) No 231/2013;
  • Law 243/2019: .
  • FSA Regulation no. 7/2020.

Based on the analysis performed, the Company's investment portfolio was in compliance with the requirements of the applicable legislation throughout 2024.

THE LEVERAGE

Leverage involves any method by which the Company increases the exposure of the portfolio it manages, whether through borrowing of cash or securities, derivative positions or any other means. Leverage shall be expressed as the ratio between the overall exposure of the securities portfolio (calculated both on a commitment basis) and the net asset value.

It is the Administrator's policy not to use leverage in the Company's portfolio, i.e. not to use methods to increase portfolio exposure. In 2024 there were no SFTs and no total return swap transactions as defined by EU Regulation 2365/2015.

STRESS TESTING

The stress test

In accordance with the Risk Management Policy and the laws on AIFM, regular stress testing in normal situations shall be carried out at least annually, on the date set in accordance with working procedures and notified to the Financial Supervisory Authority. In 2024, the Risk Management Division within the Administrator performed a stress test for the Company for 10/31/2024.

The purpose of this simulation was to obtain an estimate of a crisis situation on the Company's portfolio and the value of assels under management. The types of risk covered by this simulation were market risk. As Longshield Investment Group SA is an AIF which does not issue units on a continuous basis and does not receive redemption requests, liquidity risk was not taken into account in order to honor such requests.

For the construction of the stress scenario, stress factors that could influence the portfolio were identified and approved, i.e. those events that, although relatively rare, could have a significant impact on the Company's assets. This stress-testing was two-pronged: a. Each category of financial instruments was analyzed with respect to is reaction to a shock separately, individually; b. All categories of financial instruments in the portfolio were tested to a simultaneous shock. In applying individual shocks, where possible, sensitivity analysis was performed on the portfolio.

As a conclusion of the test, we can mention that the Company has an important investment component exposed to the risk of share price decrease and also to credit risk. At the same time, the materialization of certain scenarios could lead to the limits set in the risk profile for certain indicators being exceeded. The sensitivity analyses carried out highlighted the decreases in assets in assets under management (both in absolute and percentage terms) as a function of the percentage changes in the parameters considered.

The liquidity test

In 2024, in accordance with the legislation in force", a liquidity test was carried out for the Company by simulating a series of conditions, the purpose of this simulation being to obtain an estimate of the impact of a liquidity crisis on the Company's assets, liabilities and overall liquidiy. The risk addressed by this simulation is liquidity risk, which is the risk that a position cannot be sold, liquidated or closed with limited costs.

Although the Company has significant exposure to liquidity and share price downside risk, it is not, by its nature, exposed to redemption requests. For this reason, the potential impact of the obligations assumed by the Company is limited and they can be honored at any time. The results obtained emphasize that the Company has a significant liquidity base, so that it is able to honour its obligations arising from balance sheet liabilities. It should also be noted that the materialization of the scenarios taken into account will not lead to the exceeding of the holding limits, as specified in the legal regulations applicable to the Company's activity.

  • · The Administrator has a predictable remuneration policy that is easy to manage in terms of financial operational risks managed by the Company. In this respect, the variable personnel remuneration is limited to a maximum ceiling, which relates to the Administrator's annual salary/remuneration fund, instead of other indicators, in order to eliminate the possibility of encouraging employees to take additional risks in achieving the objectives set.

The main principles underlying the Remuneration Policy:

  • · Pursuing the compatibility with the sound and effective risk management and promoting this type of management without encouraging risk-faking that is not in line with the risk profile, prospects, rules or Incorporation of entities managed;
  • · The compatibility with the business strategy, objectives, values and interests of the Administrator and of entities managed, as well as the interests of investors thereof, including actions for avoiding conflicts of interests.

The Remuneration Policy does not lead to conficts of interests. Thus, the Administrator takes actions designed to avoid conflicts of interests, such as:

  • · The personnel is remunerated according to the results obtained by the Administrator, instead of according to the results obtained by entities managed. This way, excessive risk-laking in the management of the entities managed is not stimulated and, implicitly, the achievement of the objectives set out in the risk profile of the entities managed and of the Administrator, respectively, is ensured;
  • · The Risk Management Division monitors and assesses semi-annually whether total amounts granted as remuneration structures affect the risk profile of the Administrator and, as the case may be, submits proposals for compliance with the limits imposed by the risk profile of the Administrator to the Executive Management;
  • · The elimination of any direct tie between the remuneration of relevant people mainly carrying out a particular activity and the remuneration of other relevant people, or the earnings generated by them, mainly carrying out another activity, when the activities in question may give rise to a conflict of interests;
  • · BoD members who have an executive role within the Administrator shall not participate in the decision-making regarding their remuneration;
  • · Any situation that may cause a conflict of interests in the remuneration process shall be brought to the attention of those responsible according to the procedure of "Policies and Procedures in terms of Conflicts of Interests".

incorporated into investment strategies, as well as the principles regarding the exercise of voting rights related to instruments held in the portfolios of managed UCls.

The fund manager acts in the best interest of investors of the managed UCIs and in this regard it pursues a strategy of active involvement in dealings with companies in which it invests in order to improve their potential to create value in the medium and long term.

The Administrator distinguishes three levels of participation in the case of companies covered by the Involvement Policy. The qualification for one of these three levels of involvement is performed semi-annually on the basis of the UCIs under management.

These three levels of involvement are determined by the following criteria:

  • The influence (the holding and/or share of voting rights) within the company; and
  • The Company share within the portfolio of UCIs under management

No shareholder involvement

In the case of investment in this category, the fund manager makes its investment decisions primarily on the basis of publicly available information and market analyses, and it is not involved in the operation and management of the company at operational or strategic level. The manager may decide to exercise its voting right if it believes that the exercise of such right may have a significant impact on the interests of investors in the managed UCIs. Since, in the case of companies belonging to this category, the vote of the fund manager is not of strategic importance, the fund manager will not provide information concerning these votes on its website.

Annual Report of the Administrator prepared for Dece

Basic shareholder involvement

In the case of investment in this category, the fund manager appears in part as a financial investor and in part as a longterm strategic investor, making its investment decisions mainly based on publicly available information and market analyses, but not participating in the operation of the companies at operational level.

In general, the manager participates in the strategic decisions made within SGM, acting on behalf of the funds, exercising voting rights in person, by power of attorney or via electronic postal votes. Since, in the case of companies belonging to this category, the vote of the fund manager is not (usually) of strategic importance, the manager will not provide information concerning such votes on its website.

The exercise of the voting right shall be prominently caried out in terms of issues that have a financial impact on the activity of companies/shareholders' interests. In current matters, without any financial impact on the activity of the company/shareholders' interests, if the Administrator assesses that it is in the Company's interest not to vote within the SGM, it may decide not to exercise the right to vote. If the fund Administrator believes that it is in investors' interest to vote for/against or to abstain from a decision subject to a vote, then it will act accordingly.

In making the decision to exercise the Administrator shall also take into account additional elements such as

  • The strategy behind the decision to invest in the relevant company (short-term investment versus long-term investment);
  • The administrative or other related costs connected with the exercise of the right to vote;
  • The percentage of the share capital/voting rights held;

In addition to the foregoing, the Administrator regularly monitors the financial data and other information published by companies from the portfolio of UCIs and additional information which is relevant to the company in question.

As part of the sustainability component, the objective is to idential risks, in particular with regard to environmental, social and corporate governance factors. The Administrator believes that these factors can have a significant impact on the performance of companies in the medium and long term.

b) The dialogue with companies involved in investment

12. 2025 PROSPECTS

Global economic growth is projected by the IMF105 at 3.3% in both 2025, below the 2000-2019 average of 3.7%. Global inflation is expected to decline to 4.2% in 2026, returning to target levels more quickly in advanced economies:

  • · United States: Strong growth estimated at 2.7% in 2025 (revised upward by 0.5 pp compared to the previous forecast), supported by a robust labor market and accelerated investment. In 2026, growth is expected to return to its potential level.
  • · Euro Area: Growth is projected at 1.0% in 2025 (revised downward by 0.2 pp), followed by 1.4% in 2026. Political uncertainty and weakness in the manufacturing sector are constraining recovery.
  • · China: Growth estimated at 4.6% in 2025, slightly revised upward due to fiscal stimulus and carry-over effects.
  • · Emerging Markets: Stable forecasts, with persistent risks related to trade and capital flows.

Romania:

The European Commission forecasts on a gradual acceleration of real GDP to 2.5% in 2026, supported by investments (including EU funds), private consumption, and external demand. Inflation is expected to slow gradually but remain above 3,5% in 2025. The unemployment rate is expected to decline.

The budget deficit is projected to remain elevated, at around 8% of GDP in 2025-2026, while public debt is expected to rise toward 60% of GDP.

Global Risks:

  • · Geopolitical tensions (e.g., Ukraine, Middle East) may disrupt trade and fuel price spikes in energy and food markets.
  • · Protectionist policies or excessive deregulation in the U.S. could undermine market stability and increase volatility.
  • · A loose fiscal policy in the U.S. may provide short-term stimulus but would likely require painful long-term adjustments.
  • · Renewed inflationary pressures could prompt interest rate hikes and further monetary policy divergence, increasing fiscal, financial, and external vulnerabilities.

  • · Lower migration to the U.S. could create labor market imbalances and upward pressure on wages and prices.
  • · The prolongation of trade, military, and political tensions and conflicts may increase capital risk and have a greater impact on the international economy.

Potential Opportunities:

  • · Structural reforms and new trade agreements could boost investment and sustainable medium-term growth.
  • · Measures to increase labor force participation, support innovation, and improve resource allocation efficiency could raise the global growth potential.

Resolution of military conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East could enhance trade, stimulate demand, reduce prices, and contribute to lower interest rates.

Under Authorisation no. 151/09.07.2021, the Financial Supervisory Authority authorised the Company as an Alternative Investment Fund intended for Retail Investors (AIFRI).

The name Longshield Investment Group S.A was authorised by the Financial Supervisory Authority under Authorisation no. 36/22.03.2024 who authorised the changes made to the Articles of Incorporation of SIF Muntenia S.A., in accordance with the Decision of the Company Shareholders' Extraordinary General Meeting no. 4 of 03.02.2024, following the change of the Company's name from Societatea de Investitii Financiare Muntenia S.A. to Longshield Investment Group S.A.

The Company registered office is in 46-48 Serghei Vasilievici Rahmannov St., the ground floor, room 2, District 2, Bucharest, Romania.

The sole scope of activity of the Company concerns the nature of other collective investment undertaking (non-UCITS) of the fund, the Company carrying out activities such as:

  • · Performing financial investment, in order to maximise the value of its own shares, in accordance with the regulations in force;
  • · Managing the investment portfolio and exercising all rights associated with the instruments in which it invests:
  • Managing risks; .
  • · Other ancillary and adjacent activities, in accordance with regulations in force.

The Company operates on the basis of a management concluded with Societatea de Administrare a Investijilor Muntenia Invest S.A., certified as an Alternative Investment Fund Manager (AIFM) under number PJR08.AFIAA/40002/15.11.2024. According to the provisions of art. 3(2) of Law no. 74/2015, as subsequently amended and supplemented, AIFM means any legal person whose main activity is the management of one or more alternative investment funds.

The Company shares have been listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange, in the premium category, under code SIF4, since 1 November 1999.

The records of the shares and shareholders are kept according to the law by Depozitarul Central S.A. of Bucharest. The asset depositing services are provided by BRD - Groupe Société Générale S.A. - a company authorised by the Financial Supervisory Authority (FSA).

2. Basis of preparation

(a) Declaration of conformity

The financial statements have been prepared according to the provisions of FSA Norm no. 39/28 December 2015 for the approval of Accounting Regulations compliant with the International Financial Reporting Standards, applicable to entities authorised, regulated and supervised by the Financial Supervisory Authority in the Financial Instrument and Investment Sector, as subsequently amended and supplemented ("FSA Norm no. 39/2015"). Within the meaning of the FSA Norm no. 39/2015, the International Financial Reporting Standards are those adopted according to the procedure provided for by Regulation (EC) no. 1606/2002 ("IFRS adopted by the European Union").

for the financial year ended 31 December 2024

2. Basis of preparation (continued)

(a) Declaration of conformity (continued)

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with requirements laid down by IFRS adopted by the European Union.

The Company's financial statements have been prepared and will be made available to the public in electronic format on the Company's website: www.longshield.ro

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue as a going concern, without any significant reduction thereof, in the foreseeable future.

The Company meets the criteria for classification as an investment entity in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 10 "Consolidated Financial Statements".

The criteria for classification as an investment entity were analysed in 2024 given that the Company has more than one investment, obtains funds from more than one investors who are not related parties and has equity interests in investment held that it measures substantially at fair value. The Company's purpose is to invest in funds obtained in order to make gains and/or income from investment. The analysis also took into account the following aspects:

  • · The communication of the Company business objectives to investors;
  • · Exit (divestiture) strategies for the investments held by the Company;
  • · Activities carried out by the Company with its subsidiaries;
  • · Fair value measurement of the Company's investments.

As an investment entity, the Company has different exil strategies for different types or portfolios of investment, including a realistic time frame for divestiture.

The Administrator's exit strategies are developed over a time horizon between 3 and 5 years, depending on the specifics of the entities in which it has invested, as well as the market in which they operate, aiming to maximise the value of its own shares.

The application of this exception from consolidation means that an investment entity does not have to consolidate its subsidiaries or to apply IFRS 3 "Businations" when it gains control of another entity. On the other hand, it has to evaluate an investment in a subsidiary at fair value through profit or loss according to IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments".

(b) Presentation of the financial statements

The Company has adopted a presentation based on liquidity in the statement of its financial position and a presentation of income and expenses according to the nature thereof in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, considering that these presentation methods provide information that is credible and more relevant than the information that would have been presented based on other methods allowed by IAS 1.

(c) Basis of measurement

The financial statements are prepared on the fair value basis for financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.

Other financial asses and liabilities, as well as non-financial assets and liabilities are presented at amortised cost, revalued amount or historical cost.

The methods used to measure fair value are presented in Note 3(e)(iv) and Note 5.

for the financial year ended 31 December 2024

2. Basis of preparation (continued)

(d) Functional and presentation currency

The Company management deems the functional currency, as defined by IAS 21 *The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates", to be the Romanian Leu (RON). The financial statements are prepared and presented in RON, rounded off to the nearest RON, a currency which the Company management has chosen as the presentation currency. The Romanian Leu is the functional currency because this is the currency of the economic environment in which it operates, namely on Romanian territory. The financial assets and liabilities held by the Company are mostly expressed in this currency, the sale and purchase prices of goods and services are expressed and settled in RON, the funds generated/used from/in the operating, financing and investment activities are in RON.

(e) Use of estimates and judgments

The preparation of the financial statements according to IFRS adopted by the European Union involves the use by the management of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies, as well as the reported value of assets; liabilities, income and expenses. The judgments and assumptions associated with these estimates are based on historical experience, as well as other factors deemed to be reasonable in the context of these estimates. The results of these estimates for the basis for the judgments about the book values of assets and liabilities that cannot be obtained from other sources of information. The results obtained may differ from the estimated values.

The judgments and assumptions underlying them are reviewed regularly. Accounting estimate revisions are recognised during the period when the estimate is revision only affects that period, or during the period when the estimate is revised and future periods, if the revision affects both the current and future periods.

Judgments by the management in the application of IFRS that have a major effect on financial statements, as well as estimates involving a major risk of a material adjustment during the coming year are presented in Note 4 and Note 5.

(f) Changes in accounting policies - significant information regarding accounting policies

The Company also adopted the document "Presentation of Accounting Policies (Amendments to IAS 1 and Statement 2 regarding IFRS practice)" as of 1 January 2023. Although the amendments did not lead to changes in the accounting policies in this regard, they did have an impact on the information regarding accounting policies presented in the financial statements.

The amendments provide for the presentation of "significant" accounting policies. The amendments also provide guidance on the application of the significance in the presentation of accounting policies.

for the financial year ended 31 December 2024

2. Basis of preparation (continued)

(g) The impact of the Russian-Ukrainian military conflict and other international events and trends on the Company's financial position and performance

Inflation remains an economic factor that affects the entire Romanian economy, but mainly final consumers. The Board of Directors of the NBR (National Bank of Romania) analysed the Inflation Report. the February 2025 edition, and according to the current forecast, the annual inflation rate will experience a pronounced fluctuation in the first half of 2025 - against the background of the two-way base effects that will manifest themselves over this time horizon, and in the second half it will decrease on a higher trajectory than the one in the previous projection, remaining above the 2.5% target until the end of 2025.

The NBR kept the monetary policy interest rate unchanged in February 2025 at 6.5%, a level that was also maintained at the monetary policy meetings in January 2025 and November 2024.

The development of the military aggression in Ukraine and the associated sanctions generate considerable uncertainties and risks regarding the outlook of economic activity, implicitly the medium-term evolution of inflation, through the greater effects exerted on the purchasing power and confidence of consumers, as well as on the activity of companies. The peace negotiations that began in February 2025 are ongoing, and their impact on the Company's activity is difficult to quantify. The Company has no investment or exposures in the area of the military conflict in Ukraine.

At the same time, the conflict in the Middle East represents a major source of geopolitical risk, as a consequence, the confidence of companies and of the population regarding future developments could diminish, and international trade could be disrupted. In January 2025 began the first phase of the agreement between Israel and Hamas, namely the release of prisoners, The Company has no investment or exposures in the Middle East.

Also, the absorption and use of European funds are conditioned on the achievement of strict targets and milestones, which are essential for achieving the necessary structural reforms, but also for counterbalancing, at least partially, the contractionary effects of geopolitical conflicts (energy transition).

The Administrator identified the main risks and uncertainties to which the Company is exposed, these being mainly related to the market risk, through the volatility of quotations on the entire capital market and implicitly of the financial instruments held in the Company's portfolio. Another potential risk is that of contagion, in relation to the activities carried out by most of the entities in which the Company holds shares, with the probability of a decrease in the fair value of the financial assets. We note that the risks presented are not exclusively incident to the Company, but they affect the entire European financial market.

However, the Administrator of the Company believes that the continuity of its activity will not be affected.

for the financial year ended 31 December 2024

3. Material accounting policies

The material accounting policies set out below have been consistently applied to all periods presented in these financial statements.

(a) Subsidiaries and associates

Subsidiaries are entities under the control of the Company. Control exists if, and only if, the Company wholly has the following: authority over the investee, exposure or rights to the variable earnings based on its participation in the investee and the ability to use its authority over the investee to influence the amount of the investor's earnings.

When assessing control, potential or convertible voting rights that may be exercised at that time are also taken into account.

If the Company has shareholdings classified as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income and it acquires control through a phased acquisition, the Company reclassifies the shareholding from financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income to financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Changes in fair value previously recognised in other comprehensive income are derecognised on the same basis as if the shareholding had been assigned, i.e. under retained earnings.

Associates are companies within which the Company can exert significant influence, but not control over their financial and operating policies. As of 31 December 2024, the Company has not identified shareholdings that meet the criteria for classification as an associate.

The Company measures investment in subsidiaries and associates at fair value through profit or loss in accordance with IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments".

(b) Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currency are recorded in RON at the official exchange rate of the transaction settlement date. Monetary assets and liabilities recorded in foreign currencies by the preparation of the statement of the financial position are converted into the functional currency at the exchange rate of that day.

Gains or losses from their settlement and from the conversion using the exchange rate at the end of the financial period of monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are recognised under profit or loss.

Conversion differences in relation to non-monetary items such as shareholdings at fair value through profit or loss are presented as gains or losses from fair value. Foreign exchange differences related to nonmonetary financial assets, denominated in foreign currency and classified at fair value through other comprehensive income, are reflected in a separate reserve account.

The exchange rates of the main foreign currencies were:

Currency 31 December 2024 31 December 2023 Variation
Euro (EUR) 1: RON 4.9741 1: RON 4.9746 -0.01%
US Dollar (USD) 1: RON 4.7768 1: RON 4.4958 6.25%

(c) Accounting for the effect of hyperinflation

According to IAS 29, the financial statements of an entity whose functional currency is the currency of a hyperinflationary economy should be presented in the current unit of measurement at the end of the reporting period (non-monetary items are restated using a general price index of acquisition or contribution).

for the financial year ended 31 December 2024

3. Material accounting policies (continued)

(c) Accounting for the effect of hyperinflation (continued)

According to IAS 29, an economy is deemed to be hyperinflationary if, in addition to other factors, the cumulative inflation rate over a three-year period exceeds 100%. The continuous decrease of the inflation rate and other factors related to the characteristics of the Romanian economic environment indicate that the economy whose functional currency has been adopted by the Company has ceased to be hyperinflationary, with effect on the financial periods from 1 January 2004. Thus, the provisions of IAS 29 were adopted in the preparation of the financial statements until 31 December 2003, and these financial statements are affected by the application of IAS 29 primarily by the adjustment applied to the share capital.

(d) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include: cash, cash at bank and deposits with an original maturity of less than 90 days (excluding frozen deposits).

(e) Financial assets and liabilities

(i) Classification

The Company classifies financial instruments held according to IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" into the following categories:

Financial assets measured at amortised cost

A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both conditions set out below and is not designated as measured at fair value through profit or loss:

  • It is held within a business model whose objective is to keep assets for the collection of contractual cash flows; and

  • Its contractual terms generate, on certain dates, cash flows that are only payments of the principal and interest related to the outstanding principal amount.

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

A financial asset is measured at fair valie through other comprehensive income only if it meets both conditions listed below and is not designated at fair value through profit or loss:

  • It is held within a business model whose objective is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and by selling financial assets; and
  • Its contractual terms generate, on certain dates, cash flows which represent only payments of the principal and interest related to the outstanding principal amount.

Upon initial recognition of an investment in equity instruments not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably choose to present subsequent changes in fair value under other comprehensive income. This option applies to each instrument, as appropriate.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

All financial assets not classified as measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income, as described above, shall be measured at fair value through profit or loss. Moreover, on initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset, which in fact meets the requirements for measurement at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income, to be measured at fair value through profit or loss if this eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting inconsistency that would arise if it were done otherwise.

for the financial year ended 31 December 2024

3. Material accounting policies (continued)

(e) Financial assets and liabilities (continued)

(ii) Recognition

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the Company becomes a contracting party to the terms of such instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are measured on the initial recognition at fair value.

(iii) Offsets

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, and the net result is the statement of the financial position only when there is a legal right of set-off and the intention is to settle them on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the debt simultaneously.

Income and expenses are presented on a net basis only when permitted by accounting standards or for the profit and loss arising from the gains and lossess on trading activity.

(iv) Measurement

Measurement at amortised cost

The amortised cost of a financial asset or liability is the amount at which the financial asset or liability is measured after the initial recognition, less the principal payments, plus or minus the accumulated depreciation up to that point using the effective interest method, less the reductions related to impairment losses. This category includes cash and cash equivalents, bank deposits, receivables and payables.

Fair value measurement

Fair value is the price that would have been received on the sale of an asset or that would have been paid for the transfer of a liability in a regulated transaction between participants in the market or, in the absence of the main market, on the most advantageous market for that asset or liability as of the valuation date.

The Company measures the fair value of a financial instrument using the prices quoted in an active market for that instrument. A financial instrument has an active market if quoted prices are available quickly and regularly for that instrument. See Note 5.

for the financial year ended 31 December 2024

3. Material accounting policies (continued)

(e) Financial assets and liabilities (continued)

The market price used to determine the fair value is the closing price of the market on the last trading day.

In the absence of a price quotation in an active market, the Company uses valuation techniques based on updated cashflow analysis and other valuation methods commonly used by market participants, making the most of market information, relying as little as possible on Company-specific information. The Company uses valuation techniques that maximise the use of observable data and minimise the use of unobservable data.

The value resulting from the use of a valuation model is adjusted for a number of factors, seeing as valuation techniques do not reliably reflect all the factors considered by market participants when concluding a transaction. Adjustments are recorded to reflect risk patterns, differences in selling and buying quotes, liquidity risks and other factors. See Note 5.

Fund units are measured at the net asset value per unit, calculated by the fund administrator using closing quotes for the financial instruments held by the funds. If the Company notices that the net asset value per unit is not representative of the fair value, it uses public information on the fund holdings (financial statements, audit reports, the portfolio structure, etc.), and obtains a corrected NAVU with any adjustments deemed necessary to the net asset value following the analysis of the aforementioned public information. See Note 5.

Bonds at fair value through profit or loss are valued using a valuation model that takes into account the closing quote published by Bloomberg for these instruments, as well as an adjustment factor that takes into account mainly the liquidity risk in the market of the instrument. See Note 13 a).

(v) The identification and measurement of the impairment

Financial assets measured at amortised cost

The expected credit loss represents the difference between all contractual cashflows due to the Company and all cashflows which the Company expects to receive, discounted at the original effective interest rate.

A financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired as a result of the credit risk if one or more events have occurred with a negative impact on the expected future cashflows of the assets.

The Company assesses whether the credit risk for a financial asset has increased significantly since the initial recognition based on the information available, at no cost or unreasonable effort, which is an indicator of significant increases in the credit risk since the initial recognition.

Depending on the credit risk, the Company recognises expected credit losses, as follows:

a) For financial assets, other than purchased or issued financial assets impaired due to a credit risk, for which the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, or are in default, the expected loss is measured at an amount equal to the expected losses over the entire lifetime of said asset;

b) For financial assets, other than purchased or issued financial assets impaired due to a credit risk, for which the credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the expected loss is measured at the level of the expected losses for 12 months.

3. Material accounting policies (continued)

(e) Financial assets and liabilities (continued)

(vi) The identification and measurement of the impairment

(vii) Financial assets measured at amortised cost

The impairment gain or loss is determined as the difference between the book value of the financial asset and the present value of future cashflows using the effective interest rate of the financial asset at the original time.

(vi) Derecognition

The Company derecognises a financial asset when the rights to receive cashflows from that financial asset expire or when the Company has transferred the rights to receive the contractual cash flows related to that financial asset in a transaction in which it has significantly transferred all the risks and benefits of the property right.

Any interest in transferred financial assets held by the Company or created for the Company is recognised separately as an asset or a liability.

The Company derecognises a financial liability when the contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire.

(vii) Gains and losses on disposal

The gain or loss on the disposal of a financial liability measured at fair value through profit or loss is recognised under the current profit or loss.

Upon the derecognition of the equity instruments designated in the category of financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, cumulative gains or losses representing valuation gains or losses recorded under revaluation reserves recognised in Other comprehensive income are transferred to retained earnings (the profit carried forward representing the net realised surplus - IFRS 9).

A gain or a loss related to a financial asset that is measured at amortised cost is recognised under current profit or loss when the asset is derecognised.

(viii) Reclassification

Equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income upon initial recognition may not be reclassified.

(viii) Reclassification (continued)

For debt instruments, reclassification is mandatory when the Company changes its business model related to the management of financial assets. These reclassifications are expected to have a very low frequency.

Reclassifications are applied prospectively, from the date of the reclassification on the first day of the reporting period following the change in the business model. The entity does not restate previously recognised gains, losses (including impairment gains or losses) or interests.

(f) The share capital

Ordinary shares are recognised under the share capital.

Redeemed own shares are recognised directly under equity at the redemption price. When the entity redeems its own shares, those shares will be deducted from equity. The entity's own shares will not be recognised as a financial asset, regardless of the reason for which they were redeemed (IAS 32.AG36).

Gains or losses related to the issue, redemption, sale, free transfer or cancellation of the Company's equity instruments are recognised through profit or loss.

for the financial year ended 31 December 2024

3. Material accounting policies (continued)

(g) Provisions for risks and expenses

Provisions are recognised in the statement of the financial position when a liability arises for the Company related to a past event and the consumption of economic resources is likely to be necessary in the future to settle such liability, and a reasonable estimate of the liability can be made.

In order to determine the provision, future cash flows are discounted using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market conditions and the risks specific to that liability.

(h) Interest income and interest expenses

For financial assets measured at amortised cost, interest income and expenses are recognised under profit or loss using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate is the rate that accurately discounts payments and receipts in cash expected in the future over the expected life of the financial asset or liability (or, where applicable, over a shorter period) to the book value of that financial asset or liability. The amount of the interest related to the liability arising from the lease agreement is determined using a discount rate that can be the interest rate of the agreement or the lessee's marginal borrowing rate and is recognised under profit or loss.

For financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, interest income is recognised under profit or loss as part of the "Net gain/(Net loss) on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss".

(i) Dividend income

Dividend income is recognised under profit or loss on the right to receive such income is established.

In the case of dividends received in the form of shares, as an alternative to payment in cash, dividend income is recognised at the level of the cash that would have been received, corresponding to the increase of the related shareholding. The Company does not record dividend income related to shares received free of charge when they are proportionally distributed to all shareholders.

Dividend income is recorded on a gross basis that includes dividend tax, which is recognised as a current income tax expense.

(j) Employee benefits

(i) Short-term benefits

Liabilities related to short-term employee benefits are not discounted and are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as the related service is provided.

Short-term employee benefits include salaries and bonuses. Short-term employee benefits are recognised as an expense when the services are provision is recognised for amounts expected to be paid as cash bonuses in the short term provided that the Company currently has a legal or implied obligation to pay those amounts as a result of past services provided by the employees and if that obligation can be reliably estimated.

(ii) Defined contribution plans

All Company employees are insured and have the legal obligation to contribute (through social contributions) to the Romanian State pension system (a defined State contribution plan).

The Company is not involved in any independent pension system and, consequently, has no other obligations in this respect. The Company is not involved in any other post-retirement benefit system. The Company has no obligation to provide subsequent services to former or current employees.

for the financial year ended 31 December 2024

3. Material accounting policies (continued)

(j) Employee benefits (continued)

(iii) Long-term employee benefits

The Company net liability in respect of long-term service related benefits is the amount of future benefits which employees have earned in return for services rendered by them during the current and prior periods.

The Company has no obligation to grant benefits to employees at the time of their retirement.

(k) Profit tax

The profit tax for the year includes the current tax and the deferred tax. The current profit tax includes the tax on dividend income recognised on a gross basis.

The profit tax is recognised in the statement of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income if the tax relates to capital items.

The current tax is the tax payable on the profit earned during the current period, determined on the basis of percentages applied by the date of the financial position and all adjustments related to previous periods.

The deferred tax is determined for any temporary differences occurring between the tax base for calculating the tax on assets and liabilities and their book value used for reporting in the financial statements.

The deferred tax is not recognised for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of the goodwill, the initial recognition of asses and liabilities resulting from transactions that are not business combinations and do not affect the accounting or the tax profits and differences resulting from investment in subsidiaries, provided that they are not reversed in the near future. The deferred tax is calculated based on the tax rates expected to be applicable to temporary differences upon their reversal, based on laws in force as of the reporting date or issued by the reporting date and which will enter into force thereafter.

Deferred tax assess and liabilities are only offset if there is a legal right to offset current tax liabilities and assets and if they relate to the tax collected by the same tax authority for the same entity subject to tax and the Company intends, to settle the current tax assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

The deferred tax asset is only recognised if it is likely to earn future profits that can be used to cover the tax loss. The relevant asset is revised at the end of each financial period and is reduced to the extent that the related tax benefit is unlikely to materialise.

The tax result is determined on the basis of income and expense items in the Profit or Loss Statement plus items similar to income and minus items similar to expenses recorded under retained earnings, as a result of the application of IFRS 9.

For financial periods ended 31 December 2024 and 31 December 2023, the profit tax rate was 16%. The income from the valuation/sale/assignment of shareholdings in a Romanian legal entity or in a foreign legal entity located in a state with which Romania has concluded a double taxation treaty is nontaxable income if, by the time of the valuation/sale/assignment, inclusive, the Company holds at least 10% of the share capital of the legal entity where it has the shareholdings for an uninterrupted period of one year.

The tax rate related to taxable dividend income for the financial periods ended 31 December 2024 and 31 December 2023 is 8%. The dividend tax is established by applying a tax rate to the gross dividend paid to a Romanian legal entity. Dividends received from a Romanian legal entity are non-taxable income if, by the payment of the dividends, the Company holds at least 10% of the share capital of the legal entity where it has the shareholdings for an uninterrupted period of one year.

(1) Earnings per share

The Company presents the basic and diluted earnings per share for ordinary shares. The basic earnings per share are determined by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary Company shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares related to the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share are determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares with the dilution effects generated by potential ordinary shares.

(m) Dividends to be distributed

Dividends are treated as a distribution of the profit during the period in which they were declared and approved by the Shareholders' General Meeting. Dividends not collected for three years, after the expiration of the limitation period, are registered directly under equity, and are assimilated to contributions from shareholders, based on a decision of the Shareholders' General Meeting.

(n) Subsequent events

Events that occur after the balance sheet date may provide additional information about the reporting period compared to that known at the balance sheet date. If the annual financial statements have not been approved, they must be adjusted to also reflect the additional information relates to circumstances (events, transactions, etc.) that existed at the balance sheet date.

Events subsequent to the balance sheet date are those events, favourable or unfavourable, that occur between the balance sheet date on which the annual financial statements are approved. Events subsequent to the balance sheet date include all events that occur up to the date the annual financial statements are approved, even if those events occur after the public disclosure of financial information.

There can be two types of events subsequent to the balance sheet date identified:

  • those that prove the circumstances that existed at the balance sheet date. These events subsequent to the balance sheet date led to the adjustment of the annual financial statements; and

  • those that provide indications of circumstances arising after the balance sheet date. These events subsequent to the balance sheet date do not lead to the adjustment of the annual financial statements.

(o) Related parties

A related party is a person or an entity that is related to the entity preparing its financial statements (the reporting entity).

(a) A person or a close member of that person's family is related to a reporting entity if such person:

  • i) Has control or joint control over the reporting entity;
  • ii) Has significant influence on the reporting entity; or
  • iii) Is a member of the key management staff of the reporting entity or of a parent company of the reporting entity.

(b) A company is related to a reporting entity if it meets one of the following conditions:

  • i) The entity and the reporting entity are members of the same group (i.e. each parent company, subsidiary or member subsidiary is connected with the other entities);
  • ii) One entity is an associate or a joint venture of the other entity (or an associate or a joint venture of a member of the group which also includes the other entity);
  • iii) Both entities are joint ventures of the same third party;
  • iv) One entity is a joint venture of a third party, and the other entity is an associate of that third party;
  • v) The entity is a post-employment benefit plan in favour of employees of the reporting entity or of an entity connected with the reporting entity. If the reporting entity itself is such a plan, the employers funding the plan are also connected with the reporting entity;
  • vi) The entity is controlled or jointly controlled by a person identified under point (a);
  • vii) The person identified under point (a)(i) has significant influence on the entity or is part of the key staff managing the entity (or managing a parent company of that entity);

3. Material accounting policies (continued)

(o) Related parties (continued)

viii) The entity or any member of a group which includes it provides services related to the key staff managing the reporting entity or the parent company of the reporting entity.

Related party transactions are a transfer of resources, services or obligations between a reporting entity and a related party, regardless of whether or not a price is charged.

The Company activity is not organised by activity components and, therefore, there are no reportable segments.

Financial assets such as capital instruments, which the Company holds, are shares issued by companies operating in different business sectors. For the exposure by business sector, see Note 4.

4. The management of significant risks

The investment activity leads to the Company exposure to a variety of risks associated with the financial instruments held and the financial markets in which it operates. The main risks to which the Company is exposed are:

  • The market risk (the price risk, the interest rate risk and the currency risk);
  • The credit risk:
  • The liquidity risk;
  • The tax related risk;
  • The operational risk.

The IBOR Reform

As part of the IBOR reform and in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/1011 of the European Parliament and of the Council on indices used as benchmarks in financial instruments and financial contracts or to measure the performance of investment funds, certain existing reference rates (IBORS: Interbank Offered Rates) will be replaced by alternative risk-free rates. For European Union countries, this reform led to the reformation of the EURIBOR calculation method and the replacement of most interest rates by LIBOR and EONIA (the Euro Overnight Index Average) as at 1 January 2022.

The Company is not affected by this Regulation, the financial assets and liabilities measured at amortised cost bear fixed interest, unrelated to the reference rates.

As at 31 December 2024 and 31 December 2023, most Company assets and liabilities are not interestbearing. As a result, the Company is not affected directly to a significant degree by the risk of interest rate fluctuations. Cash and cash equivalents are generally invested at short-term interest rates. However, the decline of market returns may affect the measurement value of Company assets.

The Company has an insignificant debt related to the restatement of the lease according to IFRS 16, denominated in euros, with a fixed marginal borrowing rate of 5%.

Bonds held with OPUS Chartered Issuances S.A. ("the issuer") have interest that is paid annually, either in whole or in part (pro rata), depending on the extent to which the hedging instruments used by the issuer allow covering the amounts owed as interest, and their maturity was extended until September of 2026. The Company does not use derivatives to protect itself from interest rate fluctuations.

(iii) The currency risk

Currency risk is the risk of recording losses or not realising the expected profit due to unfavourable changes in the exchange rate. The Company is exposed to exchange rate fluctuations, but does not have a formalised currency risk hedging policy. Most Company financial assets and liabilities are denominated in the national currency, and the other currencies in which operations are carried out are the EUR or the USD.

The impact on the Company net profit of a change of ± 5% of the RON/EUR and RON/USD exchange rates as at 31 December 2024, all other variables remaining constant, is + RON 7,420,401 (as at 31 December 2023: ± RON 7,610,173).

(b) The credit risk

The credit risk represents the risk of recording losses or not achieving expected profits, as a result of the counterparty's failure to meet financial obligations. The Company is exposed to the credit risk for financial assets measured at amortised cost as a result of holdings in current accounts, bank deposits and receivables.

As at 31 December 2024, the Company tested whether the credit risk for financial assets at amortised cost had increased significantly since the initial recognition. The Company uses a simplified approach according to which it considers that the credit risk has not increased significantly since the initial recognition if the financial asset has a low credit risk as of the reporting date and has an external rating in the "investment grade" category. Based on the information available, it was concluded that no events causing a significant credit risk increase or default events had occurred.

The Company carried out an internal analysis regarding expected credit losses for financial assets measured at amortised cost, the conclusion of the analysis being that their impact is insignificant.

(b) The credit risk (continued)

Bank deposits are placed at fixed interest rates for the entire period. In the period ended 31 December 2024, the interest rates upon establishment for deposits in RON varied between 4.10% and 5.80%, for deposits in EUR they were between 2.00% and 3.20%, and for deposits in USD they were between 3.80% and 4.75%. As at 31 December 2024, a change of ± 1 percentage point in the interest rate for deposits has an impact on the Company's net profit of ± RON 164,584 (as at 31 December 2023: RON 219,163).

The maximum Company credit risk exposure is in the amount of RON 249,781,301 as at 31 December 2024 (as at 31 December 2023: RON 298,008,774) and can be analysed as follows:

4. The management of significant risks (continued)

(c) The liquidity risk

21

The liquidity risk is the risk of recording losses or not achieving expected profits, resulting from the inability to meet short-term payment obligations at any time, without incurring excessive costs or losses that cannot be borne by the Company.

The structure of the assets and liabilities was analysed based on the remaining period from the date of the statement of the financial position to the contractual maturity date, both for the financial period ended 31 December 2024 and for the financial year ended 31 December 2023, as follows:

(d) The tax related risk

Romanian tax laws set out detailed and complex rules that have undergone several changes in recent years. The interpretation of the text and the practical procedures for implementing tax laws may with the risk that certain transactions may be interpreted differently by tax authorities compared to the treatment applied by the Company.

From the point of view of the profit tax, there is a risk of a different interpretation given by the tax bodies to the implemented tax rules determined by the Accounting Regulations compliant with IFRS. The management's conclusion is that the tax treatments included in the financial statements represent the management's best estimate in accordance with the applicable tax provisions.

The Romanian Government has a number of agencies authorised to carry out audits (inspections) of companies operating on Romanian territory. These inspections are similar to tax audits in other countries, and may cover not only tax issues, but also other legal and regulatory issues of interest to these agencies. The Company may be subject to tax inspections as new tax regulations are issued.

for the financial year ended 31 December 2024

4. The management of significant risks (continued)

(e) The operational risk

The operational risk is defined as the risk of recording losses or not achieving expected profits due to internal factors such as the inadequate conduct of internal activities, the existence of inadequate staff or systems or due to external factors such as economic conditions, changes in the capital market, technological advances. The operational risk is inherent in all Company activities.

The policies defined for operational risk management have taken into account all types of events that may generate significant risks and the ways in which they materialise, in order to eliminate or reduce losses of a financial or reputational nature.

(f) Capital adequacy

In terms of capital adequacy, the policy from the management focuses on maintaining a sound capital base, in order to support the continuous development of the Company and achieve its investment objectives.

5. Accounting estimates and significant judgments

The management discusses the development, selection, presentation of material accounting policies and estimates. All these are approved during the meetings of the Board of Directors of SAI Muntenia Invest S.A.

These presentations supplement the information on financial risk management (see Note 4). The significant accounting judgments for the application of the Company accounting policies include:

Key sources of estimate uncertainty

Adjustments for the impairment of assets measured at amortised cost

The assets recorded at amortised cost are measured for impairment according to the accounting policy described in Note 3(e)(v).

The measurement for impairment of receivables is performed individually and is based on the management's best estimate of the present value of cashflows expected to be received. In order to estimate these flows, the management makes certain estimates regarding the financial situation of the counterparty. Each asset is examined individually. The accuracy of the adjustments depends on the estimate of future cashflows for specific counterparties.

The determination of the fair value of financial instruments

The fair value of financial instruments not traded in an active market is determined using the valuation techniques described in the accounting policy of Note 3(e)(iv). For financial instruments that are rarely traded and for which there is no price transparency, the fair value is less objective and is determined using various levels of estimates regarding the liquidity, concentration, uncertainty of market factors, price assumptions and other risks that affect the financial instrument concerned.

for the financial year ended 31 December 2024

5. Accounting estimates and significant judgments (continued)

The fair value hierarchv

The Company uses the following hierarchy of methods to calculate the fair value:

  • Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
  • Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for assets or liablities, either directly (e.g. prices, quoted prices in non-active markets) or indirectly (e.g. derived from prices)
  • Level 3: inputs for assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). This category includes all instruments for which the valuation technique includes elements not based on observable data for which the unobservable input parameters may have a sigmificant effect on the valuation of the instrument. This category includes instruments valued on the basis of quoted prices for similar instruments for which adjustments based largely on unobservable data or estimates are required to reflect the difference between the two instruments.

Quoted shares and unit funds

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices or prices quoted by intermediaries. The market price used to determine the fair value is the closing price of the market on the last trading day before the valuation date. These assets are classified as Level 1.

For holdings of shares that cannot meet the criteria defined for the "active market", one shall examine whether the market where those shares are traded is one where orderly transactions could be carried out, in which case the last price resulting from an orderly transaction will be used. These assets are classified as Level 2. If these conditions are not met, they will be evaluation models presented under "Unquoted shares and units" and will pe classified as Level 3.

Unquoted shares and unit funds

In order to estimate the fair value of the shares of an unquoted company uses valuation models that are usually derived from known valuation models: the market multiples method, the equity/share method corrected with a discount for lack of liquidity and a discount for lack of control. The valuation models require unobservable inputs to a larger extent, a higher degree of analysis and estimation by the management in order to determine the fair value. The analysis and estimation by the management are involved especially in the selection of the appropriate valuation model.

for the financial year ended 31 December 2024

5. Accounting estimates and significant judgments (continued)

The fair value hierarchy (continued)

Unquoted shares and unit funds (continued)

The multiples method is based on a process where the fair value is obtained by comparison with similar companies for which information is available and by estimating the valued company by using a conversion factor/multiplier (e.g., EV/EBITDA, P/By, EV/Sales), to which a discount for lack of figuidity (DLOM) is applied. The source of information for these multipliers is the database provided by Bloomberg, and the source of information for the discount for lack of liquidity is Stout Restricted Stock Study Companion Guide.

The equity/share method corrected with a discount for lack of liquidity and a discount for lack of control starts from the value of the net asset/share established by the issuer of the shares to which a discount for lack of liquidity and a discount for lack of control apply. The source of information for these discounts is Mergerstat Control Premium Study for the discount for lack of control and Stout Restricted Stock Study Companion Guide for the discount for lack of liquidity.

For shares held in subsidiaries, the fair value is the closing price for companies that have an active market or prices resulting from valuation reports prepared by independent external valuers. For determining the fair value, depending on the specific nature of the economic activity of the subsidiary, the independent valuers have used the income-based approach - the DCF method which is based on the principle that the value of an investment is determined by the current value of future cash flows and the asset-based approach - the Adjusted Net Asset method, and for real estate assets held by subsidiaries, the incomebased approach - the income capitalisation method has been used.

Fund units are measured at the net asset value per unit calculated by the fund administrator. In measuring whether the net asset value per unit is representative of the Company takes into account the following public information about the financial statements, audit reports, the portfolio structure, the volume and level of activity of subscriptions, whether the investment cannot be redeemed at the net asset value or whether there are also other uncertainties that increase the risk of the investment, if the frequency of calculating and publishing the net asset value per unit is reduced. Following an analysis of the abovementioned public information, the NAVU corrected with the adjustments deemed necessary for the net asset value is obtained.

The unit funds held with investment funds characterised by: frequent redemption periods, the lack of redemption fees or low fees, the possibility of redemption of any number of fund units, the daily publication of the unit value of the net asset are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

The unit funds held with investment funds characterised by: making the withdrawal for some funds conditional on a written notice given at least a certain number of calendar days prior to the submission of the redemption request or the possibility of redemption of a limited number of fund units and the lack of redemption fees are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The unit funds held with investment funds characterised by the restriction of the possibility of redemption by: infrequent periods open for redemption or making the withdrawal for some funds conditional on a written notice given at least a certain number of calendar days prior to the redemption request and in some cases the charging of prohibitive redemption fees, if the above-mentioned notices are not given, of the low liquidity of the assets held by the investment fund, are classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Bonds

Bonds at fair value through profit or loss are measured using a valuation model that takes into account Bloomberg's closing quote for these instruments, as well as an adjustment factor that mainly takes into account the liquidity risk in the market of the instrument. These assets are classified as Level 3.

5. Accounting estimates and significant judgments (continued)

The fair value hierarchy (continued)

For the valuation of financial assets at fair value representing shares held in subsidiaries, the main valuation technique used is the income-based approach, the DCF method. According to this method, the fair value of shares held within subsidiaries as at 31 December 2024 is RON 201,904,290 (as at 31 December 2023: RON 204,389,751).

The main assumptions used by independent valuers within the valuation model according to ANEVAR Valuation Standards as at 31 December 2024 and 31 December 2023, for financial assets at fair value shares held within subsidiaries, together with the related values are presented in the table below:

Assumptions used within the

Perpetuity growth rate 2.50% 2.60%
Weighted average cost of capital
(WACC)
9.98% - 14.23% 10.30% - 15.63%

Although the Company considers its own fair value estimates to be appropriate, the use of other methods or assumptions may lead to different fair value amounts. For fair values recognised following the use of a significant number of unobservable inputs (Level 3) by using the DCF method, changing one or more assumptions with other reasonable alternative assumptions would influence the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as follows:

Change in terms of the unobservable data
used in the valuation
Impact on the profit or loss
31 December 24 31 December 2023
Increase of EBITDA by 3% 5.211.055 6,339,401

Decrease of the perpetuity growth rate by 0.5 pp (2,028,916) (3,668,435)

In the case of holdings of shares from four subsidiaries, the valuation technique using the assel-based approach - the Adjusted Net Asset method - was used to determine the fair value. According to this method, the fair value of the relevant shares as at 31 December 2024 is RON 110,816,684 (as at 31 December 2023: RON 21,836,047).

The classification of financial assets and liabilities

Company accounting policies provide the basis in order for the assets and liabilities to be included, at the outset, in various accounting categories. For the classification of assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, the Company has determined that one or more criteria set out in Note 3(e)(i) have been net. Details regarding the classification of the Company financial assets and liabilities are given in Note 20.

The profit tax

IAS 12 "Profit tax" in paragraph 34, requires an entity to recognise a deferred tax asset for unused tax losses to the extent that future taxable profits are likely to exist in relation to which the unused tax losses can be recovered.

The Company estimates the likelihood of future taxable profits taking into account the following criteria:

  • The Company is likely to have taxable profits before the unused tax losses expire;

  • The unused tax losses result from identifiable causes that have a minimal chance of reoccurring.

During the financial period ended 31 December 2024, the Company recorded a taxable profit (see Note 10 and Note 16).

The Company estimates that it will recover the tax loss of 2020 within the limitation period provided for by the Tax Code of seven years.

6. Dividend income

Dividend income is recorded at gross value. Dividend tax rates for the financial period ended 31 December 2024 were 8% and zero (for the financial period ended 31 December 2023: 8% and zero). Of the total dividend income as at 31 December 2024, non-taxable income was in the amount of RON 41,073,442 (as at 31 December 2023: RON 40,825,169 - non-taxable dividends). All dividend income comes from entities registered in Romania. During the financial period ended 31 December 2024, dividend income was received for financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income of RON 53,294,091 (as at 31 December 2023: RON 43,565,967).

(b) Reserves from the revaluation of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

This reserve includes the cumulative net changes in the fair values of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income from the date of the classification in this category to the date when they were derecognised.

The reserves from the revaluation of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are recorded net of the related deferred tax. The amount of the deferred tax recognised directly through the decrease in equity is shown in Note 16.

Upon derecognising equity instruments designated within the category of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (see Note 14(b)(i)) the gains/losses related to such instruments recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to retained earnings as a surplus earned from revaluation reserves.

During the period ended 31 December 2024, as a result of the application of accounting policies according to IFRS 9, detailed in Note 3(e)(vii), the Company recognised the net gain from the disposal of the financial assets under retained earnings.

Moreover, as a result of the financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, the positive value of RON 764,353 was transferred from retained earnings to retained earnings representing the realised net surplus.

As at 31 December 2024, the retained earnings resulting from the adoption of IFRS 9 and IFRS 10 related to the financial assets owned by the Company amounted to RON 250,091,003, an amount restricted from distribution.

Moreover, as a result of the disposal of the financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, the amount of RON 14,088,347 was transferred from retained earnings to retained carnings representing the realised net surplus.

As at 31 December 2023, the retained earnings resulting from the adoption of IFRS 9 and IFRS 10 related to the financial assets owned by the Company amounted to RON 255,710,703.

The amounts recognised as reserves from the revaluation of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income will not be reclassified as profit or loss on the derecognition of these instruments.

(c) Legal reserves

According to legal requirements, the Company sets up legal reserves in the amount of 5% of the legally recorded gross profit up to the level of 20% of the share capital according to the Instrument of Incorporation. The amount of the legal reserve as at 31 December 2024 is RON 15,222,116 (as at 31 December 2023 is RON 15,692,904). As a result of the decrease in share capital (see Note 19 (a)), the legal reserve decreased by RON 470,787, reaching the level of 20% of the decreased share capital, a value that was transferred under retained earnings.

Legal reserves may not be distributed to shareholders. The aegal reserves was included in the statement of the financial position, on the row of the "Retained earnings".

(f) Profit allocation

The Company Administrator proposes to distribute the net profit as follows:

In RON 31 December 2024
Net profit to be distributed: 86,849,260
- other reserves 86,849,260

19. Earnings per share

The calculation of the basic earnings per share was performed based on the net profit and the weighted average number of ordinary shares:

In RON 31 December 2024 31 Decembrie 2023
Net profit 86,849.260 212,803,021
Weighted average number of ordinary shares 761,105,845 761.105.845

23. Correction of accounting errors - Incorrect classification of financial assets

The Company incorrectly classified and presented in the Statement of Financial Position as at 31 December 2023 the shareholding held with Santierul Naval Orsova SA (SNO) under financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, although the shareholding with SNO increased to 41.19% as of 14 November 2023.

Following the analysis carried out regarding the identification and monitoring of associates, the Company concluded that following the increase in the holding with SNO, the latter is an associate over which Longshield Investment Group SA (formerly called SIF Muntenia SA) exercises significant influence, namely has the ability to participate in making decisions regarding the entity's financial and operating policies, without exercising control over those policies, therefore the investment should have been classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. The comparative statement of financial position was restated in relation to the approved financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2023, the shareholding held with SNO was reclassified from the row "Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income" to the row "Financial assets at fair value through prolit or loss", with corresponding reclassification of the fair value adjustment from fair value reserve to retained earning.
