01 This is Spir Group

Spir Group (or "the company"), delivers mission-critical software and data within two main business areas – Real Estate and Public Administration.

Within Real Estate, Spir Group offers software and data to streamline real estate processes in Norway and Sweden. The company delivers a wide range of specialized software and data used throughout the property life cycle, from a property is built, maintained, renovated and sold. The Company's services are used in 9 out of 10 real estate transactions in Norway, and in Sweden, Spir Group is the number one provider of real estate and geo-information.

Spir Group is one of Norway's leading Public Administration software providers, delivering solutions for case management, archiving, quality management and internal control systems to the public sector in Norway. Spir Group's software systems ensure that public entities comply with Norwegian laws and regulations. The public sector market is known for its high level of recurring revenue, long-term contracts, and low churn.

Based on deep domain knowledge, broad and unique datasets, and modern technology platforms, the Spir companies are market leaders in their respective businesses. Spir Group has a significant footprint, delivering mission-critical software to a wide variety of customers within the public and private sector.

The customers range from municipalities, governmental agencies, real estate agents, banks, insurance companies, appraisers, property developers, media companies, builders, property owners, engineers, power companies, and building materials production companies. The key underlying driver for development is the pressing need for accelerated digitization of complex processes.

Spir Group delivers its offerings as recurring subscriptions, transaction-based data & software sales, and consulting services. The subscription-based revenues are primarily Software-as-a-Service licenses to customers, characterized by long-term contracts and low churn. Transaction based revenues are driven by the developments in the real estate markets in Norway and Sweden, particularly properties put up for sale, properties sold and the volume of new housing projects. Revenue from consulting constitutes a small part of total revenue in Spir Group, but the services are an important success factor for implementation and utilization of the group's solutions.

The Spir Group companies have 368 full-time employees in addition to 73 external consultants. The company's commitment lies in leveraging

extensive industry expertise with data, technology and artificial intelligence to optimize the everyday activities of our clients.

Spir Group is playing a central role in the green transition. The company achieves this through the facilitation of data and technical solutions, digitizing processes mandated by law that were once manual and time-consuming. By ensuring the reuse of data and implementing near-complete digitization of processing chains, Spir Group replaces traditional paper-based methods with fully digital solutions. Spir Group operates within international frameworks and adheres to best practices, meeting all requirements pertaining to social issues and corporate governance.

Spir Group's ambition is to become the leading Nordic player within its business areas, expanding on the existing number one positions established in Norway and Sweden. The Group seeks to grow through a combination of organic growth and bolton acquisitions, strengthening and broadening the Group's offerings to existing customers and geographically.

Key facts and figures

03 CEO letter

Dear stakeholders,

2024 was a year marked by significant progress across the portfolio as we continue to lay the foundation for sustainable, long-term value creation. Our focus has been on building best-in-class software, maintaining our talented workforce, and continuing to be our customers' number one trusted advisor in the areas where we deliver mission-critical technology and solutions.

The Spir companies hold market-leading positions and advanced technological capabilities, and key KPIs are on the rise. Our strategic initiatives implemented over the past few years have resulted in improved financials in 2024. Total revenues improved by 7 percent, while Cash EBITDA of NOK 95 million is an improvement of 30 percent compared to 2023. Net income has also improved significantly, up from negative NOK 9 million in 2023 to positive NOK 51 million in 2024. We are confident that the potential is even higher, and that 2025 will prove to be another solid step in the right direction.

Spir Group provides mission-critical software and data across our two core business areas, real estate and public administration. Both areas contain a high share of recurring revenue. In 2024, Spir Group's annual recurring revenue (ARR) increased by 11 percent compared to a year ago, reaching NOK 443 million,

including NOK 15 million in new ARR from Iverdi. Going forward, we will continue providing innovative tools that digitalize our customers' operations across our two business areas, further strengthening the Group's market share and profitability.

In the second half of the year, Spir Group closed the acquisition of the remaining shares of Unbolt, and a key target for us has been to successfully integrate the company, and its subsidiaries, into the Group. Unbolt has built a Nordic ecosystem around property condition data, providing unique insights and analytics about the building stock. By taking control of Unbolt, we strengthen our position within real estate transactions, complementing the Groups property data offerings with unique property condition and energy data. In December 2024, we completed a 100-day integration plan with focus on operations, people, synergies and data. As a result, Unbolt's subsidiary Iverdi, which is a major player in Norway within software for real-estate appraisal, was established as a separate segment, while Unbolt has been rebranded as Spir Data in early 20251 .

Iverdi owns the software, IVIT which is Norway's most used professional software for valuation engineers. The software offers effective process support, datadriven quality assurance and a variation of different

valuation reports. It allows direct interaction and sharing of information between real estate agents and valuers' systems for increased security and efficiency, further strengthening our real estate offering. As an innovative software house, developing new functionalities and enhancing existing products to reinforce our market-leading position, along with expanding our product portfolio, is essential for future growth.

Over the past year, we have worked diligently to strengthen internal sustainability competence and knowledge among our employees, enabling us to approach ESG in a strategic manner. Most importantly, we have focused on ensuring compliance with and measuring the effectiveness of the initiatives we have implemented. Spir Group respects the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals and has prioritized four of them in our strategic agenda: #5 gender equality, #8 decent work and economic growth, #12 responsible consumption and production, and #16 peace, justice and strong institutions. We have also begun preparations and work to ensure compliance with the CSRD starting from the 2025 financial year.

As we have entered 2025, our outlook remains positive. The demand for secure and efficient IT solutions is growing across our business areas, as

customers increasingly seek to reduce costs by streamlining and digitizing their operations. We expect our subscription-based revenues to continue to grow steadily with low churn as they are primarily based on long-term contracts. Meanwhile, there are positive developments in the real estate market both in Norway and Sweden. We are excited for the year ahead, with solid plans in place to further strengthen our operational and financial growth.

At last, I want to extend my gratitude to all my colleagues at Spir Group, as well as our customers, partners and shareholders, for their trust and confidence during the year. We remain dedicated to continuously upholding and strengthening this trust in 2025 and beyond.

14 Sustainability report

Preparing for Sustainability Reporting in Accordance with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive

In its ongoing commitment to sustainability, Spir Group has initiated preparations for reporting in accordance with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), the EU's new directive for sustainability reporting. As part of this initiative, the Group has conducted a double materiality assessment aimed at identifying material impacts, risks, and opportunities. This assessment was performed prior to the EU Commission's presentation of the proposed changes to CSRD, known as "Omnibus."

Spir Group is closely monitoring the development and proposed changes, including the potential transposition into national legislation, and will adjust its approach as necessary going forward. The insights gained from the double materiality assessment contribute to this year's sustainability reporting, ensuring that the company's disclosures are informed and relevant.

In the upcoming year, Spir Group will focus on concretizing and further advancing its sustainability initiatives.

The Double Materiality Assessment

Spir Group has conducted a double materiality assessment in accordance with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). This

assessment involves identifying and evaluating the company's significant impacts, risks, and opportunities related to climate, social conditions, and corporate governance.

The double materiality assessment was carried out based on the requirements of ESRS 1, with guidance from EFRAG's implementation guide for double materiality analysis. The process was structured into five main steps: defining the scope and ambition level of the analysis, understanding the value chain and relevant stakeholders, establishing a longlist of sustainability themes, conducting the double materiality assessment (identifying and evaluating impacts, risks, and opportunities), and validating and documenting the results.

This thorough approach ensures that Spir Group's sustainability reporting is grounded in a robust understanding of its material issues, enabling the company to address them effectively and transparently.

Defining the Scope and Ambition Level

The scope of the analysis aligns with the consolidated financial statements of Spir Group, encompassing all consolidated entities. Representatives from each of Spir Group's reporting segments, as well as the parent company Spir Group ASA and the Audit Committee, were included in the double materiality assessment.

This inclusion was done to share expertise and embed the materiality project across the Group, as well as to ensure input on sustainability matters from the entire organization.

The segment representatives were actively involved in key tasks of the project, such as value chain analysis, mapping of external and internal stakeholders, workshops, and stakeholder interviews. This comprehensive involvement ensures that companyspecific considerations are captured throughout the analysis.

Value Chain and Stakeholder Identification

Value Chain: A comprehensive understanding of the value chain is crucial for identifying relevant impacts, risks, and opportunities. The value chain analysis forms the foundation of the double materiality assessment.

To ensure a complete overview of Spir Group's value chain, a detailed mapping was conducted. This mapping focused on the main activities within the various segments, as well as upstream and downstream activities. Additionally, geography, key suppliers, market segments, and support activities were evaluated. Insights from due diligence assessments carried out in connection with the Transparency Act were also incorporated into this work.

Stakeholders: Spir Group has a diverse set of stakeholders, each with distinct requirements and expectations, including those related to sustainability. While stakeholder dialogue primarily occurs through daily operations, a targeted assessment was conducted to ensure that key stakeholders had the opportunity to provide input on relevant sustainability issues for the double materiality assessment.

Stakeholder identification was based on existing insights and understanding of the various segments within Spir Group. Additionally, an evaluation was conducted to identify stakeholders relevant to the entire group.

Stakeholders were selected based on the following criteria:

  • The stakeholder has a relationship with sustainability and can provide relevant insights for the analysis.
  • The stakeholder uses the information and has expectations or requirements regarding Spir Group's practices.
  • The stakeholder can offer perspectives on how Spir Group impacts the environment, people, and society.

Involvement of internal stakeholders is considered met through the broad participation in the project group, where they serve as representatives for their respective areas. As previously described, they have been continuously involved in the project, ensuring adequate coverage.

For details on the involvement of external stakeholders, please refer to the dedicated section "Performing the Double Materiality Assessment".

Establishing a Longlist of Sustainability Topics

Additionally, a comprehensive longlist of sustainability topics was developed to support the completeness of the materiality assessment. This list serves as a foundation for identifying impacts, risks, and opportunities. The longlist is based on the predefined themes in AR 16 (topics, sub-topics, and sub-sub topics), encompassing areas related to climate, social conditions, and governance.

To identify these company-specific and industryspecific topics, the following desktop research was conducted:

  • Analysis of other regulatory frameworks (SASB; GRI)
  • Peer analysis
  • Media analysis
  • Research on environmental impacts to understand how Spir Group through its own operations and activities in the value chain can affect the environment.

This thorough approach ensures that all relevant sustainability issues are considered, providing a robust basis for the company's materiality assessment and subsequent reporting.

Performing the Double Materiality Assessment

The fourth step in Spir Group's process was to perform the double materiality assessment, which included several sub-activities. The objective was to identify impacts, risks, and opportunities and evaluate them according to the criteria outlined in ESRS.

To identify and evaluate impacts, risks, and opportunities, two main activities were conducted: workshops and interviews. Representatives from each segment participated in the workshops, along with the CFO, Group Finance Manager, HR Director, and CMO. The chair of the Audit Committee was also present. The broad involvement aimed to ensure that sufficient and appropriate expertise was captured and included in the analysis.

During the workshops, all sustainability topics, along with their sub-topics and sub-sub topics from the longlist, were discussed to identify actual and potential impacts, risks, and opportunities. Following the identification, a scoring was conducted according to the defined methodology.

Brief Methodology Summary: Impacts were categorized as either positive or negative and assessed for scale, scope, irremediability, and likelihood. Identified risks and opportunities were assessed for financial consequence and likelihood. A scale from 1-5 was used to assess the given parameters. Additionally, impacts, risks, and opportunities were evaluated concerning the time horizon: short (<1 year), medium (1-5 years), and long (>5 years). The methodology is in line with the requirements in ESRS.

Furthermore, interviews with external stakeholders were conducted to gather their perspectives and ensure that the analysis also reflects these views. The results of the interviews largely aligned with the assessments made in the various workshops, thereby validating the findings of the analysis. For example, two external stakeholders highlighted the importance of compiling and making data accessible for making informed decisions regarding climate and nature, which had already been identified and included in the materiality assessment, thus validating the content and completeness of the analysis. At this stage, affected stakeholders were not directly involved in the analysis. This will be considered in a future update of the assessment.

Validation

After conducting workshops and interviews, an internal quality assurance and calibration process was done. Furthermore, a materiality threshold was established to determine which sustainability matters that are considered material for Spir Group. The findings from the materiality assessment serve as the basis for our 2024 sustainability report. The report, however, is not prepared in accordance with CSRD for 2024.

Boxes in grey are topics that are not material to the Group. Text in italics indicates the material sub-topics.

Environment

Spir Group is a software company, and its products and services are largely focused on digitalization. By reducing the reliance on paper and physical documents, digitalization helps society become more sustainable. Given the nature of its operations, the company has relatively few direct negative impacts on the climate and environment that are material. However, Spir Group acknowledges that it does have an environmental footprint, both through its own activities and within its value chain.

The double materiality assessment has identified that the key areas of environmental impact for Spir Group are climate change and energy consumption, e-waste, biodiversity and ecosystems, and resource use. Read more about the different topics and how these are relevant for the Group on the following pages.

Digitalization

Spir Group offers solutions that contribute to the digitalization of society. This transition is fundamentally positive, as it reduces the reliance on paper and physical documents, while also contributing to better and more efficient decision-making processes. Moreover, digitalization is beneficial in terms of resource efficiency beyond the use of paper. A digital "click" has replaced the need for transporting documents between parties, saving time, reducing transportation costs, and lowering carbon emissions associated with physical delivery. The storage of documents in physical archives, which often require substantial space and maintenance, is substituted with cloud-based solutions.

Digitalization of information also plays a crucial role in enhancing society's resilience to climate change. As the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events such as floods and wildfires increase, the need for robust and secure information storage becomes more important. When information is digitized and stored in the cloud, it is less likely to be lost or damaged compared to physical archives, which are vulnerable to environmental hazards. Moreover, digitalization supports disaster preparedness and response efforts by enabling real-time data sharing and collaboration.

Due to lower use of physical products, the overall footprint of digital products is often smaller than that of traditional products. Despite this, it is important to recognize that digital products and services do consume resources, particularly energy. Spir Group is aware of the resource demands associated with digitalization, while the company remains committed to developing new technology and digital solutions.

Energy Consumption

Spir Group relies on data centers for its daily operations. These centers are essential for storing, processing, and distributing large volumes of data. Currently, the company does not own or operate its own data centers as these services are purchased directly from providers.

Operating data centers requires substantial amounts of energy for both data storage and processing. Additionally, advanced cooling systems are used to prevent server overheating, which is also energy intensive. Consequently, Spir Group has value chain emissions associated with data centers, contributing

to its overall environmental impact. The energy consumption generates CO2 emissions, which negatively affect the climate and environment.

The emissions related to data centers are included in the company's carbon accounting under Scope 3, category X "Purchased Goods and Services." See page X for the GHG inventory.

Total GHG Emissions 14 208

All companies that are consolidated into the financial accounts are included in the calculation of GHG emissions. Operational control has been adopted as the principle for preparation, which is in accordance with the GHG protocol. Since 2024 is the first year that Spir Group is reporting on GHG emissions, a spend-based method has been used for the calculations.

Scope 1 is not relevant for Spir Group, as the company does not own or control any sources of direct emissions.

The scope 2 emissions are spend based for those companies where energy costs are reported separately. For the remaining companies the emissions are estimated based on average emissions per employee.

The scope 3 categories 12 (End-of-life treatment of sold products) and category 14 (Franchises) are identified as not relevant. Emissions for category 11 (Use of sold products) are not included for 2024. The development of a consistent category methodology for companies in Spir Group's

industry is ongoing, and the Group will develop its methodology in line with the consensus to be established. Emissions from category 7 Employee Commuting is estimated based on travel surveys. Emissions from category 15 Investments are based on Spir's ownership share of estimated scope 2 emissions. The remaining categories in Scope 3 that are not mentioned here or presented in the climate accounting have been identified as potentially relevant but not significant.

Spir Group acknowledges that the spend-based method for preparing GHG accounting has some weaknesses. Firstly, it relies on financial expenditure data, which may not accurately reflect the actual emissions associated with the purchased goods and services. Moreover, the spend-based approach lacks granularity, making it difficult to identify specific emission sources and opportunities for reduction. In the coming years, the company will work on improving the quality of the GHG reporting and consider where it might be appropriate to include activity data.

The calculation of spend based GHG emissions is based on available conversion factors from DFØ (Direktoratet for forvaltning og økonomistyring).

E-waste

As a software company, Spir Group uses a large amount of electronic equipment, such as servers, computers, and network devices. Additionally, the company's customers rely on electronic equipment to access its services.

Proper disposal of electronic equipment is crucial when it is no longer in use. E-waste can be harmful to the environment if not managed correctly. This is due to the fact that electronic devices often contain hazardous substances that, when improperly disposed of, can contaminate ecosystems and pose health risks to humans and animals. Therefore, ensuring responsible e-waste handling is essential to mitigate the risk of pollution.

To avoid unintended pollution as a consequence of poor handling of e-waste, Spir Group has established practices for handling electronic equipment. The

ground rule is that all equipment that is no longer in use is to be stored for recycling at the various offices. Furthermore, the company has entered into an agreement with Atea for the collection and recycling of equipment. The agreement is relatively new and has not yet been implemented, but it is intended to ensure that e-waste is properly collected and managed. Spir Group does not have documented history on e-waste recycling for 2024, but will receive reports from Atea starting in 2025.

Biodiversity and Ecosystems

Spir Group has not identified any material negative impacts on nature and ecosystems through its own operations. On the contrary, the company's subsidiary Metria AB offers services related to the collection and analysis of climate and nature data, which enhance the data foundation for better decisionmaking regarding biodiversity and ecosystems. In 2024, Metria delivered almost 100 such projects, contributing positively to efforts aimed at preserving nature.

Metria's clients are primarily government agencies, but also entities such as forestry companies. Since Metria produces a significant amount of data for government agencies that subsequently becomes open data, the end users span across the entire society.

The data production and analyses are based on various types of geographical data. This can include satellite data, laser data, various open data, and the client's own data. By combining these data in different ways, Metria generates the outputs its customers need, such as maps, reports, and statistics.

One of Metria's most important clients is the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency (Naturvårdsverket), which Metria assists with several analyses:

Land Cover Mapping: Creating a land cover map of Sweden to provide basic information about the landscape and changes over time. This constitutes an important basis for work on biological diversity, sustainable land use, ecosystem services, urban development and planning, as well as climate and vulnerability. The data is used by municipalities, universities, government agencies, and private entities to conduct various analyses. Examples of specific uses include environmental impact assessments, species protection studies, and ecosystem mapping.

Digitalization of Wetland Inventory:

A digitalization project related to wetlands, where Metria has digitized the old analogue interpretation sketches of the wetlands by scanning or photographing the sketches and then geocorrecting them using orthophotos. The purpose is to create a basis for preserving and strategically managing the wetlands in Sweden.

Natura Habitat Map (NNK): The mapping covers Natura 2000 areas, nature reserves, and national parks, describing the current state and showing where different Natura habitat types are located. It is used for EU reporting and helps manage and monitor these habitats within protected areas.

In addition to nature analysis, Metria also provides detailed climate risk assessments. This is done by using satellite images, mapping services, and property information. The climate risk assessments provide insight that is relevant not only to existing properties and communities, but also for planning urban areas that are resilient to climate change. By understanding potential climate-related risks, one can develop strategies and implement measures to mitigate the identified risks and ensure resilience.

Spir Group is uniquely positioned to collect and compile data that can improve society's decisionmaking regarding biodiversity and ecosystems. With a growing focus on preserving and restoring nature, Metria AB may see increased demand for such services in the future.

Resource Use and Environmental Impact

Although Spir Group develops and creates software, the company is dependent on purchasing and owning hardware. These are products that both require a lot of resources and cause environmental disruption, leading to negative impacts in our value chain.

Firstly, the production of computer hardware can pose risks to biodiversity and ecosystems. The initial stage of the value chain involves the extraction of raw materials, including metals and rare earth elements. Such activities typically have adverse effects on nature and biodiversity, including deforestation, soil pollution, and land degradation. The consequences of this include loss of biological diversity and soil deterioration.

Another challenge with the production of hardware is the significant resources used in the process. These resources are predominantly virgin, meaning they are extracted directly from nature to be incorporated into the product. This includes metals such as copper, aluminum, and rare earth elements, as well as other materials like plastic and glass. These resources are non-renewable, which means they cannot be regenerated or replaced naturally within a short timeframe.

The challenges described above apply to society as a whole and are not only relevant to Spir Group's business. That being said, the company recognizes its role in the collective responsibility and will work to address the challenges related to hardware in the coming years. Spir Group will do this by extending the lifespan of its electronic equipment, for example, through upgrading or repairing rather than replacing it. Additionally, the company will look into how it can collaborate with its hardware supplier to ensure more sustainable practices.

Own workforce

Employees

Spir Group's employees are the most valuable assets for the company's growth and innovation. The expertise and skills of the employees are critical for designing, developing, and maintaining the services offered by the Group, as well as for meeting future demands and needs. The software industry is characterized by frequent technological advancements, making the employees' ability to develop new tools and solutions essential for Spir Group's market adaptation. Attracting and retaining employees is therefore a key priority.

As an employer, Spir Group contributes to both positive and negative impacts on its employees, in varying degrees. The double materiality assessment has identified the key areas of impact to be work-life balance, equality and diversity, and training and skills development.

Code of Conduct

Spir Group has an established code of conduct that sets guidelines and clear expectations regarding ethical behaviour. This includes protecting human rights, ensuring an inclusive and professional work environment free from any discrimination, and maintaining health and safety for all employees. These guidelines shape the company's culture and must be adhered to at all times.

Characteristics of Spir Group's Workforce

The vast majority of Spir Group's workforce are fulltime employees. Only a few employees are engaged on part-time contracts. These are workers who choose to work reduced hours or students who work on an hourly basis. Part-time employment at Spir Group is primarily due to retirement, health reasons, and educational pursuits. The company does not have instances of involuntary part-time work within its organization.

Process and Routines for Engaging with Employees

To ensure employees feel valued and supported, Spir Group conducts regular follow-up meetings directly between the employee and their supervisor. These one-on-one meetings, held at least once a month, are grounded in the company's internal leadership principles. The sessions provide an opportunity to discuss progress and development, address concerns, and assess overall well-being. Moreover, the meetings serve as an opportunity to discuss specific negative and positive impacts that the employee experiences or is subjected to.

All supervisors are evaluated twice a year on the execution of these meetings with their employees, ensuring follow-up is consistently carried out. This approach is integral to fostering a supportive and transparent work environment, contributing to the overall well-being and professional growth of the employees.

Work-Life Balance

Attracting and retaining employees is a key priority for Spir Group. This is achieved, among other things, by offering employees a flexible and balanced work environment. The company believes that employees with a good work-life balance will thrive better at work, which positively impacts their motivation, engagement, and overall well-being. It allows for recharging and fosters creativity and innovation. Additionally, work-life balance is an important component in facilitating family life and personal relationships.

For employees working in the administration or with the development of Spir Group's services, work-life balance is largely self-managed. However, fostering open communication between employees and their direct supervisors is essential to ensure that employees' needs related to work-life balance are effectively met. This is maintained on a daily basis through regular oneto-one meetings between employees and their closest supervisors. For employees working at the customer service center, working hours are primarily determined by the shift schedule. Nevertheless, the company strives to accommodate individual needs as much as possible, ensuring all employees achieve a balanced and fulfilling work-life experience. This is achieved by involving customer service employees in the planning and prioritization of task execution, including decisions on where and when tasks should be carried out.

Work-life balance is assessed through the annual employee survey, which consistently yields high scores in this domain. Employees report feeling wellsupported and believe that Spir Group effectively accommodates their needs. All employees throughout the Group receive the survey.

Equality and Diversity

Striving for equality is important both at an individual level and for the organization as a whole. Spir Group believes that equality is essential for creating a positive work environment where employees can thrive. Equality implies ensuring that everyone at Spir Group has the same opportunities and is treated equally, regardless of individual differences.

Another crucial element in fostering an inclusive work environment at Spir Group is diversity.

This involves recognizing and valuing the differences between people, which is reflected in the company's overarching goal of being an attractive workplace.

Spir Group does not accept discrimination based on gender, pregnancy, childbirth, or adoption leave, caregiving responsibilities, ethnicity, religion, belief, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, or age.

The status of gender balance within the Group for the year 2024 is as follows:

Spir Group's work with equality and diversity is conducted through several initiatives:

Inclusive Recruitment Process and Practices

Spir Group is dedicated to ensuring inclusive recruitment processes that promote diversity and fairness. This commitment is upheld by involving the HR Director in the interview processes up to the final stages for executive management and daily managers, ensuring thorough and consistent recruitment practices. Additionally, all hiring decisions are overseen by the HR department to maintain uniform standards and procedures.

Moreover, the HR department facilitates all recruitment processes and prioritizes internal mobility by providing existing employees with opportunities before considering external candidates. This approach is a regular item on the agenda in executive management meetings, emphasizing the company's commitment to supporting and developing its current workforce.

Flexible Work Arrangements

Spir Group offers flexibility and makes accommodations for employees to ensure their needs are met, e.g., reduced working hours to support family life. This is clearly communicated internally to ensure that employees are aware of their rights and the opportunities available to them. The company's efforts related to flexibility are closely tied to work-life balance, as described above.

Fair Compensation

Spir Group conducts internal salary reviews to ensure equal pay for equal work. The HR Director is responsible for this process, comparing salaries across the companies for identical positions.

The company offers full salary to employees during illness, pregnancy, and parental leave.

Campaigns Promoting Equality: Spir Group participated in the #hunkoder campaign, which encourages more young girls to choose education within programming and IT.

Promoting Women in Leadership Position

Spir Group has clearly communicated internally its ambition of increasing the number of women in

leadership positions. Additionally, the company is actively working to recruit women into traditionally male-dominated roles, recognizing the positive impact this can have across the company. To support this initiative, Spir Group has implemented targeted training programs for female candidates, ensuring they have the skills and opportunities needed to succeed. Through these efforts, the company aims to foster a more inclusive and equitable workplace.

Guidelines and policies govern Spir Group's efforts in relation to equality and diversity. The objective is to ensure that practices concerning employees are uniformly applied throughout the organization. The policies are available for all employees on Slack. The key policies are:

Code of Conduct

Sets clear guidelines and expectations related to creating a work environment that is free from any form of discrimination, such as religion, skin color, sex, sexual orientation, age, nationality, ethnic origin, or disability.

Wage Policy

Serves as a basis for all local wage negotiations and adjustments.

Whistleblowing Policy

Outlines the procedures for reporting concerns and is established to encourage and protect employees who experience and report unethical behavior.

Training and Skills Development

As previously stated, employees are the most important resource for Spir Group. To grow, develop, and pursue new opportunities, the company relies on attracting and retaining employees with the right expertise and capabilities. Their knowledge and skills are a central driver for innovation, which is at the core of Spir Group's identity. Moreover, opportunities for learning and personal growth are important factors for keeping employees motivated and engaged.

Developing existing employees is a key component in realizing the strategic objectives of the Group. Competence development is therefore one of several prioritized initiatives in the Group's strategy. To ensure that employees experience personal growth and possess the necessary skills required, Spir Group has several initiatives:

Training Portals

Eduhouse: This is a platform for learning through online courses and is available to all employees in Spir Group. The platform offers over 650 courses, targeted at digital skills, HR and leadership, personal development, and finance. Spir Group will work on increasing the completion rate of these over the next year.

Metria Academy: A portal that all new employees in Metria must visit. It contains mandatory courses.

Ambita University: A portal that provides technical courses which all developers working in the Group are required to take.

Leadership Development Program

Designed to enhance leadership skills for current leaders and those with potential to assume leadership roles. Three important focus areas for future leaders are: digital transformation leadership, boundarybreaking leadership across organizations and cultures, and relationship- and network-oriented leadership with a coaching approach.

Informal arenas for personal development

This includes professional forums, breakfast seminars, meetups, and similar events aiming to enhance competence on a specific subject.

To ensure that Spir Group possesses the necessary competencies for growth and to meet market demands, a comprehensive assessment has been conducted. As part of this initiative, internal surveys have been carried out to evaluate employees' skills and their experiences with personal development. The results of these surveys are not yet finalized, but the objective is to use the insights gained to define specific measures related to competence and skills development.

Over the next year, Spir Group will begin the work of establishing a comprehensive overview of completed courses and other activities that contribute to skills development.

Consumers and End-Users

Spir Group offers a diverse range of products and services to public entities, private businesses, and individuals. A key feature of the company's offerings is the ability to collect and structure data, thereby enhancing accessibility for users. This empowers users to make informed decisions based on reliable and high-quality information.

The impact on consumers and end-users is primarily focused on providing access to high-quality information. Here, it is particularly the products related to the property sector that are relevant to highlight. These include various platforms and solutions that provide users with access to information related to area analyses, zoning plans, historical land registry, analyses for energy-saving measures, cost estimates for fixing discrepancies identified during property valuation, and more. The information made available to the user positions them to make informed decisions.

Relevant examples are:

  • PropFinder: Aggregates ownership information, demographic statistics for an area, cadastral reports, land registry copies, etc., all in one place. This simplifies the process for users to conduct analyses related to property development.
  • Boligmappa: A platform where craftsmen can store documentation related to the properties where they have performed work. This includes work done by carpenters, electricians, plumbers, and others. The information is stored in a folder directly linked to a specific property or home. This service enables homeowners to easily archive documentation and ensure that it follows the property over time. This allows individuals to access documentation related to the property, make informed decisions, and contribute to safe home purchases.
  • Buildflow: When you have a valuation of a property, you should also be able to estimate the cost of fixing identified discrepancies. Buildflow collects information from various warehouses to provide estimates on the cost of repairs.
  • Reduce AS: Offers digital analyses of energysaving measures. This solution generates proposals for energy efficiency improvements

In addition to property-related analyses, the Group also offers analyses related to climate and nature, providing users with access to quality information. Read more about these analyses in the chapter covering environmental impacts.

Governance and business conduct

The risk of bribery, corruption, and unethical actions is a widespread challenge, which is relevant to Spir Group as a company and throughout its value chain. Such actions undermine trust, integrity, and fairness, and can potentially lead to a range of negative consequences for both Spir Group and society as a whole. Consequently, the company has zero tolerance for unethical conduct of business.

Business Conduct and Corporate Culture

Spir Group upholds its ethical standards through its Code of Conduct. This document provides clear guidelines for all employees and is fundamental for creating and maintaining a strong corporate culture. The Code of Conduct outlines the company's commitment to integrity, respect, and professionalism, guiding daily operations and interactions. It covers a broad range of topics, from business ethics to relations with customers and suppliers, and helps foster a strong and positive work environment and culture across the group.

It is the line managers' responsibility to ensure that everyone is aware of and complies with these guidelines. Onboarding routines and regular communication also ensure that all employees understand and adhere to rules and guidelines.

The Code of Conduct applies to all employees of Spir Group and contractors, and is available through the company's intranet pages.

Corruption and Bribery

In order to prevent cases of corruption and bribery, guidelines for purchasing have been implemented throughout the organization. Spir Group has implemented a strict process for the assessment of new and existing suppliers, and places high demands. A specific example is that suppliers must have measures or systems in place for their operations to prevent corruption and trade in influence. Such measures include an internal control regime, ethical guidelines for all employees, and the creation of a notification channel. The company has not identified any instances of corruption or bribery during 2024.

Beyond its own operations and procurement practices, Spir Group also contributes to limiting the scope for corruption, bribery, and undeclared work in society through the services provided by Boligmappa. Boligmappa is used by craftsmen and other professional actors to register work and documentation required by law. The platform makes it easy for homeowners to archive and collect documentation. Moreover, Boligmappa makes it easier for craftsmen to operate legitimately and for individuals to choose legal work. Currently, thousands of craftsmen and professionals use the service, and all users of Boligmappa are vetted for company structure, financial stability, and professional competence. These are important factors in limiting money laundering and ensuring compliance with legal processes. Spir Group believes that Boligmappa can help build trust in an industry that has traditionally been perceived as having lower ethical standards concerning corruption and bribery.

The Transparency Act

Spir Group conducts due diligence assessments and publishes statements in accordance with the Transparency Act. The purpose of the due diligence assessments is to identify, prevent, and address actual and potential negative impacts related to human rights and decent working conditions. The statement is published annually and is available on the company's website.

Governance Principles

Corporate governance provides the basis for value creation for the benefit of Spir Group's shareholders, employees, and other stakeholders. The Board of Directors of Spir Group has adopted a set of governance principles to ensure a clear division of roles between the Board, executive management, and shareholders. These corporate governance guidelines are found on the company's web pages (https:// spirgroup.com/corporate-governance). The principles are based on the Norwegian Code of Practice for Corporate Governance.

Ambita's revenues increased by 9 percent in 2024 to 482 MNOK. For Ambita, revenue is highly correlated with the real estate market and hence impacted by seasonality and marked fluctuations. The company has been successful in maintaining focus on customers and ensuring a steady, high customer satisfaction and retention. The product Infoland maintaining the position as Norway's largest provider of real estate information, continuously offering new products and services.

During 2024, the share of Norwegian digitally registered property transactions reached an alltime high of more than 70 percent. Ambita plays a key role in this transformation, working hand-inhand with clients and partners to facilitate a digital revolution within the real estate sector. By offering the most comprehensive functionality in the market and making our services accessible through multiple portals via our APIs, Ambita has positioned itself as an industry leader in digitalization and innovation.

Byggesøknaden, a vendor for digital building case management data, had a growth of revenue of 14 percent, despite a challenging construction market showing the markets adaption to digital solutions. As a step to further solidify the position within the real estate segment Ambita invested in the Norwegian tech start-up Prosper AI in 2024.

Boligmappa continues to explore new revenue streams and partnerships. These efforts include development of the company's solutions, expansion of functionality, refinement of user interfaces, increased emphasis on market visibility, and readiness for upcoming revenue

models. Boligmappa's services are increasingly gaining attention from the media, politicians, industry associations and significant industrial players withing the banking and insurance sector.

Metria increased revenue by 8 percent in 2024 to 305 MNOK. Factors that impact the revenue of Metria is correlated with the number of properties sold and size of mortgages taken out. After a slow start for the housing market, the market recovered in the second half of 2024. The number of apartments sold increased by 14 percent in FY 2024 compared to FY 2023, while the number of houses sold increased by 16 percent, according to "Svensk Mäklarstatistik."

Metria continued to show growth in SaaS-solutions, mainly driven by Metria Maps, with 8 percent.

During the year Metria won an important tender with Svenska kraftnät, the authority responsible for Sweden's transmission system. Sweden's electricity grid requires major expansion, and Metria Markkoll will be the solution for Visual Property Data at Svenska kraftnät.

The forest industry is an important market segment for Metria and during the year important contracts have been successfully renegotiated, maintaining a strong position within the segment.

In 2024 Metria has experienced a strong demand for consultancy services within GIS and IT-solutions. Naturvårdsverket ordered projects for the next version of operational support system and national land cover data for Sweden. These projects leverage AI technologies developed in recent years.

Following the full acquisition of Unbolt AS in August 2024, Spir Group successfully completed a 100 day integration plan in December, with focus on operations, people, synergies and data. The subsidiary Iverdi, which is a major player in Norway within software for real-estate appraisal, was established as a separate segment.

Iverdi is the company behind IVIT, a professional system for valuation engineers used in approximately 90 000 condition reports yearly. The software is designed to streamline and enhance the workflows of professionals in the real estate sector and property inspection sellers. Iverdi's revenue is closely tied to the number of properties put up for sale and is subject to seasonality and marked fluctuations.

IVIT is integrated with Norway's largest industry systems for real estate agents, Vitec Next and Visma Core. In 2024 Iverdi launched "Back-2-Broker" a solution sending legally required condition data directly to the real estate agent's system, providing a more secure and efficient solution for reporting of condition data.

Unbolt AS was rebranded as Spir Data AS in Q1 2025 and serve as a horizontal entity within the Group, delivering advanced data services. Leveraging the strengths of the Group to create a unified approach to the Nordic real estate market, the acquisition of Unbolt AS is unlocking new opportunities through:

15.2 Financial review

Profit and loss

Spir Group continued to deliver strong growth, both organically and structurally, in 2024.

For FY 2024 Spir Group's overall revenue increased by 7 percent compared to FY 2023 to MNOK 1 127.1. Revenue in FY 2023 was impacted by MNOK 12 in

bi-annual election revenue. In addition, Sikri had an extraordinary churn of MNOK 10 in the beginning of 2024. Adjusted for these factors, the revenue growth was 9 percent.

Subscription-related revenue increased by 8 percent during 2024 following steady growth in ARR. Transaction-based revenues also increased by 8 percent in a strong real estate market after a slow start. Consulting revenue is an important service to secure customer success but not a growth area and are at steady pace up 1 percent.

Gross profit increased by 8 percent to MNOK 690.9 in FY 2024 following growth in revenues with lower cost of providing services and initiatives to improve margins across the revenue streams.

Personnel expenses amounted to MNOK 373.7 in FY 2024 (33 percent of revenues), compared to MNOK 347.3 in FY 2023 (33 percent of revenues). MNOK 7.4 of personnel expenses in FY 2024 is non-recurring cost related to restructuring in the organization and attributed to other income and expenses (OIE), compared to MNOK 10.9 in FY 2023. The increase in personnel expenses is related to annual wage adjustment and some new positions at group level compared to one year earlier, in addition to new personnel costs from Unbolt and subsidiaries.

Other operating expenses amounted to MNOK 124.2 (11 percent of revenue), compared to MNOK 124.7 (12 percent of revenue) in FY 2023. There were MNOK 0.6 in non-recurring items attributed to OIE in FY 2024, while MNOK 8.8 was defined as non-recurring items in FY 2023.

EBITDA was MNOK 193.0 in FY 2024, an increase of 14 percent compared with one year earlier. EBITDA adjusted for OIE was MNOK 201.0 in FY 2024, an increase of 6 percent from FY 2023, with adj. EBITDA margin of 18 percent.

The capitalization of development costs was MNOK 98.5 in FY 2024, which is MNOK 1.9 higher than in FY 2023 including MNOK 7 in new capex from Unbolt and subsidiaries (4 months). As an innovative software house, the development of new functionality and new features on existing products to strengthen our market leading positions, and expansion of the product portfolio is vital for future growth. Spir Group has made significant investments in Boligmappa to scale the platform to cater for high volume growth. Now, there is less need for new development, and total CAPEX for Boligmappa (standalone before the merger with 4CM) is down by MNOK 10 for FY 2024 compared to FY 2023. Capex in Metria is MNOK 3 higher than in FY 2023 due to investments in new product offerings and core products to capitalize on growth potential.

The ongoing crisis in Ukraine and the impact on Spir Group

The current situation in Ukraine, for the time being has an impact, albeit not significant, on Spir Group. The Group uses some external development capacity in Ukraine, through third parties, and this capacity has been impacted by the ongoing crisis. Developers have not been available full time, and there are some challenges with connectivity and also locating safe areas for these resources to operate from. Spir Group is monitoring the situation closely and we are in ongoing dialogue with our suppliers. For the time being, as this capacity comprises less than 10 percent of the Group's development capacity, Spir Group is able to compensate through measures such as reprioritization of tasks, and higher utilization of other staff. The long-term impact is not expected to harm our development plans, but there is a risk that we will need to utilize other suppliers in other geographical locations.

Financial risk and risk management

The Group is exposed to risks from its use of financial instruments, including credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk.

Credit risk is the risk that customers are unable to settle their obligations as they mature. A high number of the Sikri segments customers are within the public sector, where the risk related to these trade receivables is nearly non-existent. In regards to the Group's private sector customers, procedures are in place for limiting exposure by using credit ratings and risk assessments upon engaging in assignments. All receivables are monitored closely, and any overdue receivables are followed up.

Liquidity risk arises from the Group's management of working capital and the finance charges and principal repayments on its debt instruments. It is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group's policy is to ensure that it will always have sufficient cash to allow it to meet its liabilities when they become due as well as being able to take advantage of acquisition opportunities. Management of liquidity risk is performed at Group level, where the Finance department monitors liquidity flows in short-term and long-term reporting. In additional to a cash reserve at 31 December 2024 the Group also has liquidity reserves available through credit facilities with its primary bank Nordea.

Market risk is the risk that the future cash flows will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk includes interest risk and currency risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include borrowings, deposits and debt. As most of the Group's customers are Norwegian organisations, there is low exposure to currency risk.

Interest rate changes have only a marginal direct effect on consolidated operating income and cash flows from operating activities. The Group's interest rate risk is related to floating interest rates on bank accounts and bank loans. Interest-bearing debt is covered by interest-rate swaps from November 2023 of MNOK 243 at 3.24 percent (mature in 2032), and MNOK 162 at 3.25 percent (mature in 2028). The company is therefore exposed to fair value interest rate risk.

Further information on risk management can be found in Note 28.

To make employees aware of the company's environmental impact is a key priority for Spir Group.

Outlook

Entering 2025, our outlook remains positive. The demand for secure and efficient IT solutions is growing across our business areas, as customers increasingly seek to reduce costs by streamlining and digitizing their operations. We expect our subscriptionbased revenues to continue to grow steadily with low churn as they are primarily based on long-term customer contracts.

Transaction based revenues are mainly driven by the developments in the real estate markets in Norway and Sweden, particularly properties put up for sale (in Norway), properties sold (in Sweden) and the volume of new housing projects in both countries. The market conditions for property transactions fluctuate based on seasonality and general property buyer and seller sentiments. In Norway, the number of properties put out for sale in Q4 2024 was higher than same period last year according to "Eiendom Norge" ('Real Estate Norway'). This trend continued in January 2025, as the number of properties put up for sale increased by 27 percent compared to January 2024. In Sweden,

the number of apartments and houses sold increased by 14 and 16 percent, respectively, in 2024 compared to 2023, according to Svensk Mäklarstatistik ('Real Estate Broker Statistics Agency'). The number of houses sold was on an all-time high in the second half of 2024, suggesting that the Swedish real estate market is recovering, which ultimately will have positive impacts for Spir Group's Swedish operations, as also seen in Q4 2024.

Revenue from consulting is an important success factor for implementation and utilization of our solutions. With most of our customers on cloud solutions, we expect fewer upgrade-projects going forward. Meanwhile, Metria continues to face high demand for its consulting services within IT solutions and expert consulting within the climate and nature domain. Thus, we expect the consulting revenues to continue to remain stable over time.

The Group plans to optimize investments to enhance margins, improve cash flow, and prioritize ROI, with a projected capital expenditure range of MNOK 90-95 for FY 2025. We expect our investments in product development to materialize in improved margins and an improved cash flow yield over time. Furthermore, Spir Group is pursuing bolt-on acquisitions in Norway and Sweden to strengthen and broaden our position in the real estate ecosystem, exemplified by the Unbolt acquisition in Q3 2024 to consolidate our position as the leading provider of real estate software and data in Norway.

Metria and Spir are positive about the opportunities the implementation of open data in Sweden creates within new data sources and product development going forward. Revenue in Metria is expected to be negatively affected however it opens opportunities within new data sources and product development, which is expected to drive continued growth in gross profit.

Cost control and efficiency improvements remain a continuous focus and are now beginning to positively impact on the Group's profits. We have initiated research and analysis on how generative AI solutions can optimize and streamline our operational way of work.

Overall, we have solid building blocks in place and foresee continued growth in our software business for 2025.

Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies and estimates

Statement of compliance

The consolidated financial statements of Spir Group ASA have been prepared in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU , and Norwegian disclose requirements regulated in the Norwegian Accounting Act as of 31 December 2024.

Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements of Spir Group ASA for the year ended 31 December 2024 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries except for PixEdit AB, Unbolt AB and Unbolt ApS which is not consolidated as the entities are immaterial to the Group (together referred to as the "Group"). The consolidated financial statements consists of statement of comprehensive income, statement of financial position, cash flow statement, statement of changes in equity and disclosures. Further, the consolidated financial statements are prepared based on the going consern assumption

The consolidated financial statements are based on historical cost, with the exception of financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss (ref note 22).

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of uniform accounting policies for similar transactions and events under otherwise similar circumstances.

The Group's presentation currency is NOK. This is also the parent company's functional currency.

Basis for consolidation

The Group's consolidated financial statements comprise the parent company and it's subsidiaries as of 31 December 2024.

There is a presumption that if the Group has the majority of the voting rights in an entity, the entity is considered as a subsidiary. To support this presumption and when the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over the entity. Including ownership interests, voting rights, ownership structure and relative power, as well as options controlled by the Group and shareholder's agreement or other contractual agreements.

The assessments are done for each individual investment.

The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an entity if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control.

Business combinations are accounted for by using the acquisition method, see note 3 - business combinations. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary.

Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (OCI) are attributed to the equity holders of the parent of the Group and to the noncontrolling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group's accounting policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

Non-controlling interests is presented separately under equity in the Group's balance sheet.

Note 2, continued

Foreign currency

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency of the Group entities at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate on that date. Foreign exchange translation differences are recognized as part of financial items in profit or loss.

Assets and liabilities in foreign subsidiaries, whose functional currency differ from the presentation currency, are converted to NOK using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Income and expenses from foreign companies are converted to NOK using the quarterly average rate of exchange.

The use of estimates and assessment of accounting policies when preparing the annual accounts

Estimates and assumptions

The management has used estimates and assumptions that have affected assets, liabilities, incomes, expenses and information on potential liabilities. This particularly applies to the depreciation of intangible assets, evaluations related to acquisitions and impairment test of goodwill. It is reasonably possible, based on existing knowledge, that outcomes within the next financial year are different from the assumptions made which may lead to these estimates being materially changed. Estimates and their underlying assumptions are reviewed on a regular basis and are based on best estimates and historical experience.

Judgements

The management has, when preparing the financial statements; made certain significant assessments based on critical judgment when it comes to application of the accounting policies. The following notes include the Group's assessments regarding:

  • Business combinations (refer to note 3)
  • Impairment test of goodwill and other intangible assets (refer to note 13)
  • Important estimates and assessments regarding the length of the leases and calculation of incremental borrowing rate (refer to note 21)

New requirements in IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements which replaces IAS 1

IFRS 18 is effective for reporting periods starting on or after 1 January 2027. It introduces several new requirements that are expected to impact the presentation and disclosure of most, if not all entites. These include:

  • The requirements to classify all income and expenses into specified categories and provide specified total and subtotals in the statement of profit and loss
  • Enhanced guidance on the aggregation, location and labeling of items across the primary financial statements and notes
  • Mandatory disclosures about management-defined performance measures (a subset of alternative performance measures).
  • IFRS 18 also makes consequential amendments to other accounting standards, incuding IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows, IAS 33 Earnings per Share

Accounting principles

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method as of the acquisition date, which is when control is transferred to the Group. The consideration transferred in the acquisition is generally measured at fair value, as are the identifiable net assets acquired. Any contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the date of acquisition.

The excess of the consideration transferred in a business combination, noncontrolling interests, and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquired entity over the fair value of identifiable net assets of the acquired entity is recognised as goodwill in the balance sheet. Goodwill that arises from a business combination is tested annually for impairment. If the sum is less than the entity's net assets, the difference is immediately recognised in the profit or loss. Acquisition related transaction costs are expensed as incurred.

Critical judgements and significant estimates

The acquisitions require the use of substantial judgement when assessing the fair value of the consideration transferred, identifying, and valuation of intangible assets such as capitalised development, customer contracts and trademarks.

Business combinations completed in 2024

The fair value of the trade receivables acquired are MNOK 3.9.

The Group decided to recognize the non-controlling interest in Unbolt in its proportionate share of the aquired net identifiable assets, including goodwill. This decision is made on an aquisition-by aquisition basis. The acquired business contributed revenues of MNOK 13.7 million for the period from 26 August to 31 December 2024.

Since the aquisition date was 26 August 2024, the aquired business did not contribute to revenues and profit during the first eight months of 2024.

If the aquisition had occured on 1 January 2024, consolidated proforma revenue and operating result for the period ending 31 December 2024 would have been MNOK 43.2 and MNOK -8.4 respectively. These amounts have been calculated using the subsidiaries consolidated results adjusted for the differences in the accounting policies and additional amortization that would have been charged assuming the fair value adjustments to the asset had been applied from 1 January 2024.

The purchase price allocation should be considered as a preliminary allocation and will consequently be subject to an updated evaluation before the end of third quarter 2025.

Note 6 - Revenues

Accounting principles

The sources of revenue from contracts with customers are mainly:

Subscriptions: Recurring contracts for the delivery of products and services. This includes Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), support services, software maintenance, data subscriptions and hosting and operations.

Transaction based: Service offerings a predefined set of reports, data or services for customers to choose fixed price per transaction delivered directly, through portals, applications or APIs.

Consulting services: Installation, implementation, integration, configuration, training, and other consulting services within expert consulting and IT-solutions.

Other: One time deliveries and none-core revenue.

Description of contracts with customers

Subscriptions

Subscriptions include Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) arrangements (in which software maintenance is integrated) and user support related to both SaaS arrangements and on-premises software licences. Subscriptions also include software maintenance related to on-premises software licences and data-driven subscriptions.

Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)

A SaaS subscription is accounted for as a service and does not include the transfer of a license of intellectual property (IP). The company is providing a series of distinct services that represent a single performance obligation satisfied over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided. The appropriate measure of progress is day by day over the period in which the service is available.

Transaction based services

Transaction based services includes several sub categories of services which are listed below.

Support services

The promise to the customer is to provide support when it is needed. The delivery of the service is based on requests from the customer. These requests can come un-evenly distributed over time or not at all. The performance obligation is satisfied over time because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the company's performance which is making the support service available over the period of the contract. The appropriate measure of progress is day by day over the period in which the customer has a right to receive support services.

Software maintenance

The Group provides software maintenance related to on-premises software licences. As long as the software maintenance is unspecified, and for instance only give the customer a right to software maintenance when and if updates are available, the performance obligation is satisfied over time. The appropriate measure of progress is day by day over the period in which the customer has a right to receive the maintenance.

Data subscriptions

The Group provides a predefined set of reports and data tailored with specific information in response to the individual customer's needs. The data-driven subscriptions are accounted for as a service and is a promise to deliver end product based on requests from the customer.

The delivery of the service is based on requests from the customer, unevenly distributed in time and in volume over the period in which the customer has a right to receive the predefined reports and data. The performance obligation is satisfied over time because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the company's performance which is ensuring the services availability

Note 6, continued

over the period of the contract. The appropriate measure of progress is day by day over the period in which the customer has a right to receive the predefined set of report or data.

Data-driven queries

The Group provides service offerings a pre-defined set of reports and data for customers to choose at a fixed price per query. The data-driven queries are accounted for as a service and is a promise to deliver an end product. The performance obligation is satisfied at the point in time when the report or data is delivered.

Consulting services

The Group provides consulting services including installation, implementation, integration, configuration, training and other consulting services connected to its core offerings. The consulting services can either be a promise to deliver each and every hour (time and material type of contracts) or an end result or product.

For the first type of consulting services the performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time, when each hour is delivered. This can be considered to be a series of distinct services that represents a single performance obligation satisfied over time, but the solution for revenue recognition would be the same since accrued hours would be the appropriate measure of progress.

For the other type of consulting services, it is also concluded that the performance obligation is satisfied over time as there is no alternative use for the work performed and the entity has an enforceable right to payment.

Change of service category headlines versus prior years

Please note that the categry headlines have been updated in 2024. This does not constitute a change of service offerings, but management believes that the new headlines provides a better description of the service offerings.

Invoicing and payment terms

Invoices are issued periodically, for some yearly subscriptions on a yearly basis, for most other services on a monthly basis. Invoices are generally payable within 30 days.

Contract costs

Contract costs are amortised on a systematic basis that is consistent with the Group's transfer of the related services to the customer.

The Group has applied the practical expedient and recognises contract costs, such as commissions, as an expense when incurred if the amortisation period of the asset that the entity otherwise would have recognised is one year or less. No contract costs are recognised in the statement of financial position as of 31 December 2024 and 31 December 2023.

Presentation

Contract balances

Contract assets

A contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for products or services transferred to the customer. In the Group, there is earned but not invoiced income related to projects into Metria. The income booked as a provision according to the proportion of the project that has been completed.

Contract liabilities

A contract liability is the obligation to transfer products or services to a customer for which the Group has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. The Groups contract liabilities are related to advance payment of licences/subscriptions.

Note 9 - Share-based payment

Accounting principles

The Group has a share option program for its key employees and an employee share purchase program involving bonus shares that are accounted for as equity settled. The future potential shares, both in the form of options and bonus shares, are valued at fair value at the grant date and recognised as an employee benefit expense during the vesting period with a corresponding entry in equity.

The expense determined at the grant date is based on the Group's estimate of the number of shares that will ultimately vest. The estimate is reviewed at each reporting date and the potential impact of any adjustments to the initial estimates is recognised in profit or loss and a corresponding adjustment is made to equity.

Significant accounting estimates and assumptions

The fair value of the options and the right to bonus shares is determined when they are allotted and expensed over the vesting period. The vesting period is when the employees' service conditions are met, and the employee has the right to exercise the option.

The following table list til input to the model used for the plans for the years ended 31. December 2024 and 31. December 2023, respectively.

Description

Under the ESPP, the company has the right to settle the bonus shares in cash.

Accounting principles

Government grants are recognised when it is reasonably certain that the Group will meet the conditions stipulated for the grants and that the grants will be received. Grants related to an expense item is recognized as income on a systematic basis over the periode that the related costs, for which it is intended to comprensate, is expensed. This applies to Innovasjon Norge, Norsk Forskningsråd and Oslo Kommune. Grants related to SkatteFUNN is regognized as a reduction of intangible assets if the costs are related to capitalized development costs. Otherwise this is recogniced as a cost reduction of either salary or other operation expenses.

Note 12 - Depreciation and amortisation

Accounting principles

Equipment and fixtures

Depreciations are calculated on a straight-line basis over the assets' expected useful life and adjusted for any impairment charges. Expected useful lives are reviewed annually. If this differs significantly from previous estimates, depreciation plans are changed accordingly.

Leases

The Group applies the depreciation requirements in IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment in depreciating the right-of-use asset, except that the right-of-use asset is depreciated from the commencement date to the earlier of the lease term and the remaining useful life of the right-of-use asset.

Intangibles

Assets acquired as a part of a business combination are recognised at their fair value at the date of acquisition and are subsequently amortised on a straightline basis over their estimated useful lives. Capitalised development costs are amortised on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset.

Note 13 - Impairment tests

Accounting principles

Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.

Critcal judgements and significant estimates

The recoverable amount for the cash-generating units was determined based on value-in-use calculations that require management estimates on highly uncertain conditions, such as sales, macroeconomic outlook and impact on markets and prices, developments in demand, inflation, operating costs, and legal regulation. The Group bases its assessments on budgets for next year and internal business plans, in addition to the best estimate for long-term development in the markets where it operates, discount rates and other relevant information. A cash flow forecast is prepared for the next five years with projections thereafter. This cash flow is discounted using WACC.

Impairment testing of goodwill, trademarks and intangibles assets that have an indefinite useful life and intangible assets in progress

Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life and intangible assets in progress were tested for impairment at the end of 2024. No impairment losses were recognised, as the determined recoverable amounts exceeded the the carrying values.The Group is organised in five businesses which are Ambita, Sikri, Boligmappa, Metria and Iverdi. The five businesses form the Group's operating segments, see note 5 for more information about the segments. The businesses form the cash generating units (CGU) providing services to selected customers in their market segments, and represent the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes.

Carrying amount of goodwill and trademarks by CGUs

Recognised goodwill in the Group amounts to MNOK 1 184 as of 31 December 2024. Goodwill is derived from the acquisitions. The recent one is described in note 3. For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to cash-generating units or groups of cash generating units as presented in the table below.

Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life comprise the trademarks acquired as a part of the acquisitions. The carrying values of thhe trademarks and their respective cash-generating units are summarised in the table below.

Note 13, continued

Subsequent to the five-year projections period, the terminal rate uses is 2% for all CGUs. The terminal growth assumes that it does not exceed the expectation of growth in real terms.

The discount rate applied to the cash flow projections is the weighted average pre-tax cost of capital (WACC). The componens a of the WACC rates risk-free rate, market premium, country risk premium, industry specific beta, cost of debt and debt to equity ratio. The risk-free rate has been based on the year Norwegian and Swedish government bond rates . The discount rates are also adjusted for the additional business risk of the CGUs. The pre-tax discount ratess for the CGUs vary between 12.5% and 17.8%.

The business development assumptions are based on managements judgment on a combination of top line growth and efficiency improvements in the testing period.

Revenue growth rate

Average rates of growth in operating revenue and gross profit are based on management's expectations of growth within the cash-generating units. A decrease of the growth assumption of 5 percent units for Sikri would lead to a significant change in the value in use, but it would still be significantly higher than the carrying value and no impairment loss would be recognised. For Boligmappa, Ambita, Iverdi and Metria the value in use will exceed the carrying value to with around 3% decrease and of the growth assumption, but with limited additional headroom.

EBITDA margin

EBITDA margins are based on the volume/margins achieved historically, adjusted for expected future developments in market conditions. A reduction in the EBITDA margin of 10 percent units for Sikri would lead to a significant change in the value in use, but it would still be significantly higher than the carrying values and no impairment loss would be recognised. For Ambita, Boligmappa, Iverdi and Metria a reduction of 3 percent units, the value in use will still exceed the carrying value, however with limited additional headroom.

Weighted cost of Capital

Future cash flows are discounted to present value using a discount rate based on a calculation of a weighted average cost of capital (WACC) adjusted for tax. An increase by 1 percent units for Sikri would lead to a significant change in the value in use, but it would still be significantly higher than the carrying values and no impairment loss would be recognised. For Ambita, Boligmappa, Iverdi and Metria the value in use will exceed the carrying value to the point of around 1 percent units increase in the WACC, however with limited additional headroom.

Result of impairment testing

Spir Group is affected by the development in the real estate market. Management concluded that the carrying amount exceeded the recoverable amount for all the CGUs.

The results of the impairment test indicate headroom for all the CGUs, in which no reasonable change in key assumptions would result in recognition of an impairment loss.

The testing also included sensitivty testing assuming (separately) 1% increase in WACC and 3% to 10% decline in EBITDA. Management concluded that the sensitivty testing confirmed that the carrying amounts exceeds the recoverable amounts for all the CGUs.

Compared to 31 December 2023, the goodwill balance inceased due to business integration of Iverdi and exchange rate fluctuations of NOK 2.6 million.

The tax expense consists of tax payable and changes to deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the income statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. The reported income taxes are recognised in the amount expected to be payable on the basis of the statutory regulations in force or enacted on the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated on the basis of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position and their tax basis, together with tax losses carried forward at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated based on the tax rates and tax legislation that are expected to apply when the assets are realized or the liabilities are settled, based on the tax rates and tax legislation that have been enacted or substantially enacted on the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is not recognised for temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.

Deferred tax assets are recognised when it is probable that the company will have sufficient taxable profit in subsequent periods to utilise the tax asset. Deferred tax and deferred tax assets are recognised at their nominal value and classified as non-current assets (non-current liabilities) in the statement of financial position. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred taxes assets and liabilities relate to income taxes in the same taxable entity.

The income tax liability as of 31 December 2024 is higher than the income tax payable for 2024 because the the final tax settlement payment for the tax payable for the 2023 financial year in the Swedish subsidiary is settled in March 2025.

Note 17 - Equipment and fixtures

Accounting principles

Equipment and fixtures are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment charges. Refer to note 12 for further information on the depreciation policy and costs. Ordinary repairs and maintenance costs are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the disposal proceeds with the carrying amount and are included in operating profit.

Equipment and fixtures are reviewed for potential impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The difference between the assets carrying amount and its recoverable amount is recognised in the income statement as impairment charges. Equipment and fixtures that are impaired are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date. If the basis for an impairment loss recognised in previous periods no longer is present, the impairment loss is reversed up to a maximum of the amortised/depreciated cost.

Restatement book values 31 December 2023

Book values 31. December 2023 was adjusted due to recalculation of translation differences. The total adjustment was TNOK 28 298. The allocation has been described in note 33.

Intangible assets acquired in business combinations

Acquired Intangible assets comprise capitalised development, customer contracts/ customer relations and trademarks. Assets acquired as a part of a business combination are recognised at their fair value at the date of acquisition and are subsequently amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Business combinations are further described in note 3.

Goodwill

Goodwill is recognised as the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount of any non-controlling interest and deducted by the net of the acquisitiondate amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not depreciated but is tested at least annually for impairment. Accounting principles related to impairment testing are described in note 13.

Development cost

Expenses relating to research activities are recognised in the income statement they incur. Expenses relating to development activities are capitalised to the extent that the product or process is technically and commercially viable and the Group has sufficient resources to complete the development work. Expenses that are capitalised include the costs of materials, direct wage costs and a share of the directly attributable common expenses. Capitalised development costs are recognised at their cost minus accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Development costs are amortised on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset. Funds received from Forskningsrådet through Skattefunn reduces development costs.

Note 18, continued

Impairment

Intangible assets are reviewed for potential impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The difference between the assets carrying amount and its recoverable amount is recognised in the income statement as impairment.

Goodwill acquired in a business combination and intangible assets with indefinite useful life is tested annually for impairment. Refer to note 13 for further information. An impairment charge of NOK 1 821 thousand regarding two research and development projects were recognised in 2024.

Critical judgements and significant estimates

Development of the software that constitutes the core business of the Group is a continuous process. The customers expect an up to date service and the software is updated/changed on a regular basis. The useful life of a development project is difficult to estimate and monitor. The estimated useful life for such development projects is 5-10 years, and differs between the group companies. The estimates that are made are based on, among other things, the length of the customer's contract and the competitive landscape.

For customer contracts/customer relations, an amortisation period of 10 years is applied. This estimate is based on the length of the customer's contract and low observable churn rate.

The Group works continuously with improvements of technical platforms. This work involves both maintenance, research and development. These activities are integrated, and it can be challenging to separate them for accounting purposes. Management have, to their best effort, assessed the projects and expenses that qualify for capitalisation and the remaining part is expensed.

The impairment test of goodwill is largely based on judgements and significant estimates. Refer to note 13 for further information.

Note 20 - Associates Note 21 - Leases - right-of-use assets and lease liabilities

Accounting policies

Spir Group have leasing contracts on office space and office-/IT-equipment. Before the divestmet of the Planning and Surveying business in Metria (ref. note 4) the company also had leasing contracts in vehicles.

Recognition of leases and exemptions

At the lease commencement date, the Group recognises a lease liability and corresponding right-of-use asset for all lease agreements in which it is the lessee, except for the following exemptions applied:

  • Short-term leases (defined as 12 months or less)
  • Low value assets (with an underlying value of less than NOK 50 thousands)

For these leases, the Group recognises the lease payments as other operating expenses in the statement of profit or loss on a systematic basis, usually on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Critical judgements and significant estimates

Important estimates and assessments regarding the length of the leases

When the lease's length is determined, management takes into account all available information that provides a financial incentive to use an extension option, or to not use an option to terminate an agreement. Possibilities of extending an agreement are only included in the lease's length if it is reasonably certain that the agreement will be extended. Implicit interest has been used in the calculations.

The leasing period is reviewed if an option is used (or not used) or if the Group is forced to use the option (or not use it). The assessment whether it is reasonably certain is reviewed only if a significant event or changes in circumstances arise that affect this assessment and the change is within the lessee's control. During the current financial year we have extended some of owr existing leasing contracts on office space in Norway.

* including long-term low value assets.

The leases do not contain any restrictions on the Group's dividend policy or financing. The Group does not have significant residual value guarantees related to its leases to disclose.

Practical exemptions applied

The Group also rents office machines, IT equipment etc with typical lease terms from 1 to 3 years. The Group has decided not to recognize leases where the underlying asset has low value, and thus does not recognize lease obligations and right-of-use assets for any of these leases. Instead, the rental payments are expensed when they occur. The group also does not recognize lease obligations and rights-of-use assets for short-term leases, as presented in the table above.

Options to extend a lease and purchase options

As of 31 December 2024, there are no significant future potential lease payments that are not included in the lease obligations as a result of extension or purchase options.

Interest rates applied

Actual borrowing interst rate has been applied in the calculations.

Note 22 - Financial instruments

Accounting principles

Financial assets

Financial assets are recognized at fair value when the Group becomes a party to the terms of the financial asset. The financial assets in Spir Group includes cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables and other investments such as interest rate swap and smaller ownership stakes.

The subsequent measurement of the financial assets depends on which category they have been classified into at inception: Financial investments at amortised cost, at fair value through profit or loss, and at fair value through other comprehensive income. The classification is based on an evaluation of the contractual terms and the business model applied.

Short-term highly liquid investments with original maturity exceeding 3 months are classified as current financial investments. Current financial investments are primarily accounted for at amortised cost

Trade receivables are carried at the original invoice amount less a provision for doubtful receivables which represent expected losses computed on a probabilityweighted basis.

Financial assets are derecognised when rights to cash flows and risks and rewards of ownership are transferred through a sales transaction or the contractual rights to the cash flows expire, are redeemed, or cancelled.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value when Spir becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the liability. The Group classifies its financial liabilities in the following categories: At fair value through profit or loss, or amortised cost. The classification is determined based on the contractual cash flow characteristic of the instrument and the business model the instrument is held within.

Financial liabilities are presented as current if the liability is expected to be settled within 12 months after the balance sheet date. Due to the short-term nature of the current payables, their carrying amount is considered to be the same as their fair value.

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the contractual obligations are settled, or if they expire, are discharged or cancelled.

For the borrowings, the fair values are not materially different from their carrying amounts, since the interest payable on those borrowings is close to current market rates.

Derivative financial instruments

Spir Group uses derivative financial instruments to manage exposures to fluctuations in interest rates. Derivatives are carried as assets when the fair value is positive and as liabilities when the fair value is negative. Derivative assets or liabilities expected to be settled, or with the legal right to be settled more than 12 months after the balance sheet date, are classified as non-current.

The interest rate swaps are recognized at fair value through profit or loss (Refer to note 26).

Other investments

Other investments are valued in accordance with level 3 (IFRS 13 definiton). There are no observable market data available to asses the vaue of the assets. Estimated cash flow analyses are utlised to asses the market value.

Note 23 - Trade and other receivables

Accounting principles

Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for services performed in the ordinary course of business. They are generally due for settlement within 30 days and are therefore all classified as current.

Due to the short-term nature of the current receivables, their carrying amount is considered to be the same as their fair value.

Impairment and risk exposure

The Group applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses using a lifetime expected credit loss provision for trade receivables and contract assets. To measure expected credit losses on a collective basis, trade receivables and contract assets are grouped based on similar credit risk and aging. The contract assets have similar risk characteristics to the trade receivables for similar types of contracts.

The expected loss rates are based on the Group's historical credit losses experienced over the three year period prior to the period end. The historical loss rates are then adjusted for current and forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the Group's customers.

The provision for impairment of trade receivables is TNOK 2 940 at 31 December 2024 ( TNOK 2 478 at 31 December 2023). The credit loss of the Group recognised in 2024 was TNOK 382 (2023: TNOK 415). Actual and expected credit losses on trade receivables are classified as other operating expense in the income statement.

Note 28 - Financial risk management

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks; market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and commodity risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The operative management is respsonible for managing the Group's fiancial risk position and maintaining adequate liquidity. This includes measuring and managing liquidity risk, interest rate risk, foreign exhange risk and counter-party risk. The Group reviews and monitors financial risk on a regular basis.

Credit risk management

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument (see note 26) or customer contract (see note 6), leading to a financial loss. The Group is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks, debt instruments and account receivables.

Approximately 40% of Group's revenue is generated from customers within the public sector where by the risk related to these trade receivables is nearly nonexistent. The majority of the last 60 % are within the private sector, in which exposure is limited by using credit ratings and risk assesments upon engaging in assignments. The Group also has a small portion of sales to private individuals which pays upfront. All receivables are monitored closely, and any overdue receivables are followed up. The credit loss of the Group recognised in 2024 was TNOK 382 (2023: TNOK 415).

Despite histoically minimal bad debt losses, the Group has in place processes for credit rating and risk evaluation of new customers, and a monthly process for follow up of overdue receivables. Invoices are issued periodically, for some yearly subscriptions on a yearly basis, for most other services on a monthly basis. Invoices are generally payable within 30 days.

Also refer to note 23 - Trade and other receivables.

Liquidity risk management and funding

Liquidity risk arises from the Group's management of working capital and the finance charges and principal repayments on its debt instruments. It is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group's policy is to ensure that it will always have sufficient cash to allow it to meet its liabilities when they become due as well as beeing able to take advantage of acquisition opportunities.

Management of liquidity risk is performed at Group level, where the Finance department monitors liquidity flows in short-term and long-term reporting.

Management of liquidity risk is performed at Group level, where the Finance department monitors liquidity flows in short-term and long-term reporting.

The Group has a revolving credit facility of MNOK 50 which was fully utilzed at the end of December. In addition, the Group has an overdraft facility of MNOK 50 , which was not in use at the end of December 2024. Both the facilities are provided by Nordea Bank ApB.

The Group has two loan facilities from Nordea Bank ApB. One facility of MNOK 450 which matures at 30 April 2027 and another facility of NOK 175 which matures on 30 April 2026.

The maturity profile of the Group's financial liabilities are shown in note 22 - Financial instruments.

The liquidity reserve, presented in note 24, is a useful measure as it provides information of the Group's financing capabilities. The liquidity reserve at 31 December 2024 is MNOK 81.4. The maturity profile of the Group's financial liabilities are shown in note 26 - Financial instruments.

Market risk management

Market risk is the risk that the future cash flows will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk includes interest risk and currency risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include borrowings, deposits and debt.

Foreign currency risk

The foreign currency risk is insignificant to the Group as the turnover and monetary items / costs are mainly nominated in the same currencies (NOK or SEK) and thus have a natural hedge. More than 60% percent of the revenue of the Group in 2024 was nominated in NOK. Measures to reduce currency risk are so far not considered necessary but will be reassessed if the currency risk increases.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate changes have only a marginal direct effect on consolidated operating income and cash flows from operating activities. The Group's interest rate risk is related to floating interest rates on bank accounts and bank loans. A 60% share of the debt is sequred by an interest rate swap. The table below shows how an increase/decrease of the interest rate on the Companys' term loans would have affected profit before income tax in 2024. Also refer to note 26 - Borrowings.

Capital management

The objective is to keep the capital structure on a level to secure financial flexibility for the operations. The capital stucture of the Group is being continously monitored through Net debt/EBITDA ratio. The ratio is calulated by dividing interest-bearing net debt with the last 12 months EBITDA of the Group. Net debt/ EBITDA ratio is a covenant used in the main funding arrangement. SPIR group is within limits for this covenant as at the reporting date and comparative period.

The key figures in the table below are not comparable to the covenants described in note 26 – Borrowings. The key figures below are based on the actual reported numbers and the covenants described in note 26 are based on pro forma last twelve months EBITDA adjusted for non-recurring items.

Alternative performance measures

Alternative performance measure

The Group's financial information in this report is prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the EU. To enhance the understanding of the Group's performance, the Company has presented a number of alternative performance measures (APMs) that are regularly reviewed by management. An APM is defined by ESMA guidelines as a financial measure of historical or future financial performance, financial position, or cash flows, other than a financial measure defined or specified in the relevant financial reporting framework (IFRS).

Annual recurring revenue (ARR) is defined as recurring revenue of the reporting period's last month, annualized. For the Group, recurring revenue used in ARR calculation is defined as revenue from time-limited contracts where the purchase is recurring in nature; software subcriptions and related maintenance contracts, data and analysis subscriptions and other recurring time-limited agreements.

Gross profit is calculated as operating revenue less cost of services provided.

EBIT: Earnings before interest expense, other financial items and income taxes.

EBITDA: Earnings before interest expense, other financial items, income tax and depreciations and amortization.

EBITDA before other income and other expenses (Adjusted EBITDA) is defined as EBITDA adjusted for costs of a nonrecurring nature. Such non-recurring costs include, but are not limited to; integration costs, restructuring costs, acquisition costs, one-time advisory costs and other non-recurring costs. This measure is useful to users of the Group's financial information in evaluating underlying operating profitability.

The adjusted EBITDA margin presented is defined as EBITDA before other income and other expenses divided by total revenues.

Net Interest Bearing Debt (NIBD) is non-current interest-bearing debt plus current interest-bearing liabilities less cash and cash equivalents.

Summary material accounting policies and significant estimates

Basis of preparation

The Company's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act and generally accepted accounting principles (NGAAP). The functional and presentation currency is Norwegian krone (NOK).

Going concern

The annual accounts have been prepaed based on the going concern assumption in accordance with section3- 3a of the Norwegian Accounting Act. This is based on the Group's plans, budgets and level of activity going forward.

Estimates and assumptions

The management has used estimates and assumptions that have affected assets, liabilities, incomes, expenses and information on potential liabilities. This particularly applies evaluations related to acquisitions . It is reasonably possible, based on existing knowledge, that outcomes within the next financial year are different from the assumptions made which may lead to these estimates being materially changed. Estimates and their underlying assumptions are reviewed on a regular basis and are based on best estimates and historical experience.

Tax

The tax charge in the profit and loss account consists of tax payable for the period and the change in deferred tax. The deferred tax is calculated at the tax rate of 22% on the basis of tax-reducing and tax-increasing temporary differences that exists between accounting and tax values, and the tax losses carried forward at the end of the accounting year. Tax-increasing and tax reducing temporary differences that reverse in the same period are set off and entered net. The net deferred tax receivable is entered on the balance sheet to the extent that it is likely that it can be utilised.

Classification and valuation of fixed assets

Fixed assets consist of assets intended for long-term ownership and use. Fixed assets are valued at acquisition coss less depreciation and write-downs. Longterm liabilities are entered on the balance sheet at the nominal amount at the time of the transaction.

Classification and valuation of current assets

Current assets and short-term liabilities consist normally of items that fall due for payment within one year of the balance sheet date, as well as items related to the stock cycle. Current assets are valued at the lower of acqusition cost and fair value. Short-term liabilities are entered on the balance sheet at the nominal amount at the time of the transaction.

Subsidiaries and associated companies

Subsidiaries and associated companies are valued using the cost method in the company accounts. The investment is valued at acquistion cost for the shares unless a write-down to fair value is made when fall in value due to reasons that cannot be expected to be temporary and such write-down must be considered as necessary in accordance with good accounting practice. Write downs are reversed when the basis for the write down no longer present.

Dividends, group contributions and other distribution from subsidiaries are posted to income in the same year as provided for in the distributors's accounts. To the

extent that dividends/group contributions exceeds the share of profit's earned after the date of acquistion, the excess amounts represents a repayment of invested capital, and distributions are deducted from the investment's value in the balance sheet of the parent company.

Receivables

Receivables from customers ands other receviables are entered at par value after deducting a provision for expected losses. The provision for losses is made on the basis of an individual assessment of the respective receivable. In addition, an unspecified provision is made to cover expected losses on claims in respect of customer receivables.

Revenues

Income from sales of services are recognized at fair value, net after deduction of VAT, returns, discounts and reductions.

Share-based payments

Equity-settled share-based payments to employees and others providing services are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date. The fair value measured at the grant date is determined using the Black-Scholes model, which takes into account the exercise price, the expected lifetime of the option, the current price of the underlying shares, the expected volitality of the share price, any dividend expected on the shares and the risk-free interest rate for the life of the option. The expected share price volitality is based on the historical volitality for a section of comparable listed companies. The risk-free rate is based onth published government zero-coupon yields by the Central Bank of Norway.

Pensions

The scheme is a defined contribution plans and charged to the income statement in the period to which the contributions relate.
