2021 IN BRIEF

1. HIGHLIGHTS

In 2021 markets recovered after the Covid-19 downturn. SKAKO has proven to have the ability to navigate in very dynamic conditions and was able to strengthen our performance.

1.1 Letter to our shareholders

1.1 LETTER TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS

Getting the job done in constantly changing business conditions !

2021 was a satisfactory year for SKAKO. We were impacted by Covid-19 going into the year and this was anticipated. However, the continuing development of the pandemic, the resulting supply chain shortages and the freight price increases were unpleasant surprises. We need to be prepared for a more turbulent business climate in future.

Despite the external challenges, we managed to execute the plan we had prepared for the year. Going into 2021 with a lower-than-normal order book, we knew that we had to perform a strong order intake during the year and execute a solid production in the second half of the year. With an EBIT in 2021 of DKK 20.3m (5.6%), we landed the result in the middle of our guidance for the year.

Because of the cost efficiency measures, strong order intake in H2 and increasing gross margins, it was possible to maintain the guidance of an EBIT of DKK 18 – 23m announced on 19 March 2021 and furthermore narrow this to an EBIT of DKK 19 – 22m with the announcement of third-quarter results on 29 October 2021.

The year started with a weak order intake in Q1 and Q2, particularly in plant sales. However, after the summer season, the markets for both divisions caught up with strong order intake, which generated a high level of activity for rest of the year.

In SKAKO Vibration, we have seen a high level of activity in the European markets and good recovery of our business in North Africa after the summer in 2021, whereas the market in North America is still at a low level. The recently acquired Spanish recycling company Dartek in 2019 has been performing very well since the middle of 2021 where the southern European markets started waking up after the Covid-19 pandemic. Dartek is growing both topline and EBIT to the benefit of SKAKO Group. We are, in general, experiencing an increasing demand for our products from the recycling industry.

SKAKO Concrete is going through a process of focusing on profitability while investing in future revenue growth at the same time. A tough prioritization of projects which are well suited for the SKAKO Concrete products, and a focused delivery has shown strong results in recent years.

The Green Plant Vision was launched by SKAKO Concrete in 2021, based on optimization of all parts of concrete production to reduce the environmental footprint. Customers are showing strong interest, and this will be an area of focus in the years to come.

Both business units are increasing service and aftersales to existing customers in all core markets. The continuing customer demand for spare parts, retrofit and aftersales service forms a stable foundation for the businesses. This part of the business is less volatile to the changing market conditions, compared to plant sales.

With the publication of our Annual Report 2020, we announced the 2024 ambitions for both business units and the SKAKO Group. The medium-term financial ambitions comprise of an organic annual revenue growth of 8% from 2020 to 2024 and an EBIT margin of 7-9% in 2024. This corresponds to a revenue of approximately DKK 460m with an EBIT result of DKK 32 – 42m in in 2024. The strong performance in 2021 and the expectations for 2022 make us confident that we will fulfil these ambitions.

We are guiding for an EBIT of DKK 22-27m for 2022 with a slight back-end profile. This is based on the delivery pattern we see for current orders.

All businesses are people businesses. Therefore, we would like to thank all SKAKO employees who did a great job getting us through 2021 in good shape, despite all the difficulties the pandemic gave us.

We would also like to thank our valuable customers and partners for choosing SKAKO.

1.2 KEY EVENTS 2021

SKAKO Concrete: Increased market focus in the DACH region and Denmark, the Faroe Islands and Iceland. Sales force strengthened through recruitments of new Key Account Manager and key persons in the areas as part of the strategy of being 100% present in all primary markets.

Monthly order intake of SKAKO Dartek is booming and 2/3 of the annual budget has been reached in one single month. 85% of the orders are from the recycling segment.

Focus on optimization and development of products. 2021 was the starting point for a thorough review of SKAKO Concrete's core products and overall R&D with a view to process optimization, up-to-date quality products and increased performance.

Implementation of a new focused sales strategy and systematic follow-up on goals and results has been fully implemented over the second half of 2021. Specific training programme has been implemented for everyone in plant sales and aftersales, which is reflected in a positively developing pipeline towards the end of the year.

Overall financial performance of SKAKO improved significantly in 2021 and resulted in an operating profit (EBIT) of DKK 20.3m, compared to DKK 15.2m in 2020. This is in line with our latest guidance of DKK19.0 – 22.0m

Revenue in 2021 increased by 8.3% compared to 2020 with plant sales and aftersales increasing by 3.0% and 16.9%, respectively. This confirms the recovery of the markets in which we operate after Covid-19. Especially the profitable aftersales market shows great strength underlining our aim to build strong partnerships with our customers.

Order intake in 2021 increased by 29.6% compared to 2020 impacted by a large order of DKK 30 m in SKAKO Concrete, which will have revenue impact in both 2022 and 2023. Following the strong order intake, the order backlog increased by 33.2% compared to the year before providing a strong outset for 2022.

Gross profit margin improved by 2.2pp to 25.4% in 2022 driven by a higher share of aftersales revenue with high margin as well as improved margins in plant sales, following the implementation of the efficiency program in SKAKO Concrete.

Capacity cost increased by 14,9% from 2020 to 2021. The main driver for the increase is growth in resources, in order to be able to execute the increased level of activities.

Operating profit was DKK 20.3 m in 2021 compared to DKK 15.2 in 2020 and was as predicted in the initial guidance back-end loaded with a very strong operating profit of DKK 8.3 in Q4. The strong operating profit in the last quarter was a consequence of a very strong order intake in H2 as well as the ability to execute both plant orders and aftersales orders in a shorter time than previously.

Operating profit margin increased to 5.6 % compared to 4.5% in 2020 as a result of the increase in gross profit margin.

For a financial review for each division, please see section 2.2 for SKAKO Concrete and section 3.2 for SKAKO Vibration.

15 1.4 Financial review

Cash flow developments

In 2021, SKAKO generated a cash flow from operating activities (CFFO) of DKK 30.3m compared to DKK 4.8m in 2020. The cash flow in Q4 2021 was high due to a high amount of prepayments from customers. Generally, our customers are fulfilling their payment obligations, and the Group has a strong liquidity.

Equity

The Group's equity was DKK 132.2m on 31 December 2021 (DKK 127.3m on 31 December 2020) matching an equity ratio of 39.0% (39.5% on 31 December 2020). The increase in equity is mainly due to profit for the year of DKK 13.2m. Due to a dividend of 9.3m paid in May 2021, the equity does not increase with the full earnings for the year.

ROIC

In 2021, return on invested capital amounted to 10.3% compared to 8.3% in 2020. The increase in return on invested capital is due to the higher result in 2021.

Balance sheet

As of 31 December 2021, the Group's assets totalled DKK 339.0m (year end 2020: DKK 322.1m). The increase in assets is primarily due an increase in trade receivables.

Non-current assets decreased by DKK 0.1m and amounted to DKK 84.2m (year end 2020: DKK 84.3), while current assets increased by DKK 17.0m to DKK 254.8m (year end 2020: DKK 237.8m).

Net debt decreased by DKK 13.2m and totalled DKK 27.0m on 31 December 2020 (year end 2020: DKK 40.2m). The decrease in net debt is due to strong cash performance from operating activities.

Current liabilities amounted to DKK 177.7m (year end 2020: DKK 156.4m). The increase in current liabilities is primarily due to an increase in contract liabilities with reference to received prepaymentsfrom customers on construction contracts.

Dividends

Based on the results in 2021 and capital structure of SKAKO A/S as of 31 December 2021, the Board of Directorsrecommends a dividend distribution of DKK 4pershare, corresponding to 93.5% (adjusted for earn-out relating to Dartek, the dividend amounts to 81%) of profit for the year and a total dividend distribution of DKK 12,3m. With a share price of DKK 55.2 as of 31 December 2021, this corresponds to a dividend yield of 7.2%.

1.5 FINANCIAL AMBITIONS

Financial ambitions SKAKO Group

SKAKO Group

With our annual report for 2020, we introduced financial ambitions for the SKAKO Group, which comprise our medium-term financial ambitions until and including 2024.

The medium-term financial ambitions for the SKAKO Group comprise a revenue growth (CAGR) of 8% from 2020 to 2024 and an EBIT margin of 7-9% in 2024. This corresponds to a revenue of approximately DKK 460m with an EBIT result of between DKK 32m and DKK 42m in 2024.

We believe that the recent years' strategic development in the Group has laid the foundation for a favorable development in results in the coming years. The relatively high ambitions for revenue growth are partly aided by the fact that revenue in 2020 was significantly impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, especially in SKAKO Vibration. We do not expect the development to be realized in a straight line as some years will show a steeper progress than others, and development will be different in the two divisions.

SKAKO Concrete

In 2021 SKAKO Concrete continued the journey towards a level of sustainable profitability. In 2021 we have seen the EBIT margin in SKAKO Concrete increase from a level of 0%-1% in previous years, over 3.3% in 2020 and now to 3.9% in 2021. We will continue the focus going forward and strive to further improve the EBIT margin towards a level of 6%-8% while also driving a revenue growth of 6% (CAGR) until 2024. This corresponds to an EBIT result of DKK 13m to DKK 17m in 2024. As noted under our guidance for 2022, we expect to see a revenue growth in SKAKO Concrete in 2022 compared to 2021, due to the increasing order backlog and a high level of market activity.

SKAKO Vibration

Historically, the EBIT margin in SKAKO Vibration has been realized at a level of 8%- 10% while revenue has been realized at a lower level than our financial ambitions. Therefore, the focus in SKAKO Vibration will be on maintaining the historic EBIT margins while driving an expansion in revenue at a CAGR of 10%. This corresponds to an EBIT result of DKK 20m to DKK 25m in 2024. In 2021, revenue in SKAKO Vibration was positively impacted by the growth in recycling and a general upturn of the market in which SKAKO Vibration is operating. In 2022 we expect to see a continued growth in revenue as well as improved profitability. The growth in revenue is primarily expected to be driven by increased orders in the recycling segment. We have seen in 2021 that Increased revenue is the vehicle to get EBIT margin to return to a normal level compared to 2020, as the contribution margin will increase compared to the fixed cost basis.

1.6 GUIDANCE 2022

2021 showed growth on all parameters in SKAKO. The increase in new orders has increased the order book at the end of 2021 to DKK 122.4m against DKK 91.9m by the end of 2020 (increase of 33,2%). Revenue has increased by 8.3%, and the profitability in both plant sales and aftersales has increased. The operational cash flow has also increased compared to 2020.

With this in mind we are seeing a strong outset for the continued performance of SKAKO.

The global situation on availability on particularly electronics could have an impact on SKAKOs ability to deliver on time. This, however, will be affecting all suppliers in the market. The same applies for the increasing cost of logistics.

For SKAKO Concrete the increase in building infrastructure will be supporting the need for capacity in the concrete manufacturing industries and thereby the demand for new machinery. The pipeline of the potential orders is significantly stronger than in 2021.

For SKAKO Vibration the increasing demand for recycling solutions will be driving the market upwards. The increasing global demand for minerals will also continue to drive the requirement for mining solutions.

Guidance 2022

We are guiding for an operating profit (EBIT) of DKK 22-27m in 2022.

The guidance is based on a continued normalization of the market conditions during 2022, with no new material adverse events affecting the global economies. Following the situation in Ukraine and the potential impact on world economies, this guidance is subject to a higher-than-normal degree of uncertainty.

Business with Russia and Ukraine

SKAKO has an insignificant sales to Russia and Ukraine and there are no direct suppliers in these countries. There are, however, suppliers to SKAKO who are sourcing supplies of steel from Ukraine, as well as sub suppliers who might be impacted by, among other, increasing energy cost.

Foundation for future sales growth

During 2021, we built the foundation for a revenue expansion in 2022 to 2024 and are now ready to take the next steps.

Focus is still on our five strategic areas in the commercial department but in particular areas 2-5 are important in 2022.

1. Development of sales organization

Sales organization

The salesforce wasstrengthened significantly in 2021.

We are now directly represented on allprimarymarkets.

The aftersales organization has been strengthened towards more proactive sales.

Aftersales

The proactive approach to the aftermarket is starting to pay off in the second half of 2021 and we expect the positive trend to continue into 2022.

We will continue to develop the aftersales business with more local presence on the primary markets.

Plant sales

In 2021 we initiated the second phase of our go-to-market strategy, and our shortterm and long-term pipeline is already benefiting from the implementation of these strategy tools.

Due to that and due to our strengthened organization, order intake increased significantly during the second half of 2021, and the pipeline for 2022 looks very promising.

Sustainability

SKAKO Concrete has set up a targeted "Green Plant Vision" to process optimize, product develop, produce and partner up on sustainable solutions and concepts that bring us among the front runners within "green concrete" production and environmentally friendly plants around the world. Our own contribution covers CO2 reduction, re -use of machinery, concrete with less cement and minimization of water. However - our main contribution is technology that enables customers to reach their green targets.

Digitization

2022 will be a continuation of our work with clients to develop the SKAKO digital platform they use to operate their SKAKO plants.

The world and our client's needs are moving towards a higher degree of mobility and data and knowledge -based business. SKAKO intend to support that in full.

Cloud based systems, data warehouse, big data and mobility are key words in our way to support our clients with a more digital platform.

Marketing

Customer dialogue will be intensified through customer surveys and partnership communication as well as increased focus on demonstrating SKAKO as an ideal sustainability partner

In order to focus on a more targeted and direct communication with our customers, SKAKO Concrete has decided NOT to participate as exhibitor at the BAUMA exhibition in Munich in year 2022 . This is also a consequence of the actual uncertainty about possible Covid -19 cancellationsfrom fair operators

We use the opportunity to find alternatives within digital presentation and online presence and thereby act in an agile and resolute way in relation to the changeable and actual market situation

Apart from a uniform and recognizable identity the aim throughout 2022 is to increase brand awarenessthrough intensified PR and media processing

SKAKO Concrete development

Financial performance in 2021

The overall financial performance of SKAKO Concrete showed a very positive development in 2021, driven by the strategic initiatives on enhancing customer support and improving project execution.

Revenue decreased by 4.3% compared to 2020. Revenue from plant orders decreased by 22.0%, while revenue from aftersales increased by 15.0%. The decrease in plant order revenue was driven by the very low order backlog entering 2021, due to the pandemic. The increase in aftersales revenue is the result of the strategic initiative to enhance the customer support, as well as recovering from the pandemic.

Gross profit and gross profit margin were realized with DKK 35.3m and 21.4% compared to DKK 30.9m and 17.9% in 2020. The increase in gross profit margins has been realized because of a favorable mix between revenue from plant orders and aftersales andimproved execution ofplant orders.

EBIT and EBIT margin were realized with DKK 6.1m and 3.7% compared to DKK 5.7m and 3.3% in 2020 corresponding to a 7.0% increase in EBIT and a 0.4pp increase in EBIT margin.

Order intake amounted to DKK 199.1 compared to DKK 142.3m in 2020. In particular the strong order intake in H2 has been driving the improvement compared to 2020.

We still have a strong pipeline and expect order intake to improve through 2022. The order backlog at the end of 2021 amounts to DKK 68.6m (DKK 34.5m in 2020) which is 99% above the order backlog at the end of 2020. Product development

Development of primary markets

In 2020 we started developing and implementing our new five-track sales strategy in SKAKO Concrete. This strategy provides plans and tools to work our way through the coming three years in a more proactive way, and expectations for 2022 are therefore positive.

Our increased focus on specific types of customers and plant orders combined with the recently implemented Objective Key Results (OKR) will result in better market position. As a consequence, we expect to see growth in revenue from both plant sales and aftersales.

Overall, our primary markets are doing well on both plant sales and aftersales, and in general we have positive feedback from all markets.

Sustainability and Green Plant

In general, SKAKO Concrete seeks to reduce its impact on the environment internally and externally. An internal production optimization project has been initiated and SKAKO Concrete has increased focus on reducing energy consumption, recycling of crushed concrete, reduction of cement, less use of water and reuse of aggregates ,in the production of concrete. In addition, all employees complete an annual internal code of conduct (e-learning) to have a common understanding of SKAKO's policies and guidelines.

To meet the expectations and needs from our customers and the market mainly within recycling, digitization, and technology, SKAKO Concrete has planned to invest even more in product development. We have focused further development on our key products AM mixers, the SKAKOMAT control system and our CONFLEX distribution system.

Order for Bartram Bau-System GmbH, Germany

The customer is an long standing SKAKO customer. In 2019, they decided to make a new production hall for production of beams and frame elements. During this process, the next generation from Bartram has been the key person for this development of the factory layout to meet the future concrete requirements.

The existing plant is from 1989. The new plant is a complete CONFLEX track and a new SKAKOMAT. In total more than 200 metres track with switch tracks and two tracks into hall 4 and hall 5. This is a major upgrade of the existing plant. It has been an ongoing development of the layout and new wishes from the customer, but in good cooperation with SKAKO to meet their requirements. Today, the plant is up running with full production, and the customer is very happy with the solutions and is now talking about the next step of integrating the other production hall with the CONFLEX track and more new equipment in 2022.

Page 31 The business of our customers is strengthened by the dedication of our SKAKO Vibration team in three centers of excellence.

3.1 STRATEGY & BUSINESS MODEL

At SKAKO Vibration we develop, design and sell vibratory equipment for industrial use worldwide and our quality products set in motion, separate and wash bulk material.

Our engineering, assembly and test facilities are located in Faaborg in Denmark, Strasbourg in France and San Sebastian in Spain, and our products are based on application know-how and own developed technology.

SKAKO Vibration has a flexible production where parts are sourced through both internal and externalsuppliers.

Our main markets are EU and North Africa, and we are focusing on our expansion in the recycling segment with our complete range of products dedicated to this industrial sector, in particular since we made the acquisition of SKAKO Dartek at the end of 2019.

SKAKO Vibration strivesto be one ofthe leading suppliers of vibratory equipment and preferred partners within the automotive industry on targeted markets – especially through European, Asian and US players. We are already strong within the mineral segment with a strong presence in the phosphate mining sector in North Africa.

The objectives shall be obtained by having an attractive product range of high quality, and a dynamic organization with a high level of know-how about design and application.

From 2021 through 2024 SKAKO Vibration aims to grow revenue with a CAGR of 8- 9% while maintaining an EBIT margin of 8%-10%. As SKAKO Vibration's revenue was significantly impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 and in a part of 2021, some of the revenue growth is expected to come from a return to normal market conditions while another part is expected to be realized from strategic growth in the recycling industry.

To support our growth, we have based our strategy on four development stages:

Medium-term perspective

3.1 Strategy & business model

SKAKO Dartek

Upon acquisition in November 2019, Dartek Proyectos y Maquinara S.L.L was integrated into the division and became SKAKO Dartek. As expected, SKAKO Dartek's product range has been a good supplement to SKAKO Vibration's product range and allowed the division to become a leading player in the recycling segment. In the meantime, SKAKO Vibration has also considerably reinforced its market presence in Spain and Portugal.

Resilience of the recycling segment faced with the Covid-19 pandemic

The recycling segment has shown more resilience than the minerals or hardware segments since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic and low activity in the North-African mining sector which significantly impacted SKAKO Vibration in 2021. This confirms our strong belief that the recycling segment is an up-andcoming and forward-looking business.

In the meantime, the complexity of the recycling industry has required a rational sub-segmentation of the segment to be able to offer specific solutions to targeted customers. In addition to SKAKO Dartek's strong know-how in the field, the other expert centers of the division have started adapting their products to best meet the needs of each sub-segment. For example, the large project for Tapojärvi, which aims to process slags from the Italian iron and steel industry, includes products coming from all the three expert centers in SKAKO Vibration. The final part of this project was delivered in September 2021.

Growth from three main customer segments

The foundation for the further development of SKAKO Vibration will be our three expert centers, each with their own specific area of core competence. Business relating to the hardware, recycling and mineral segments will be conducted from our officesin Faaborg/Denmark, San Sebastian/Spain, and Strasbourg/France.

Industry 4.0 and new technology

Despite the development of our on-line monitoring system for our largest machines has been delayed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, an industrial prototype has been tested for more than one year at a customer's site under severe industrial conditions and the final product is expected to be launched in 2022. This product, which will be used by our customers with "smart production", will also serve to refine our internal digital models of the machines that we are developing. In the same trend of optimizing new technology adoption within our organization, we have decided to update and expand our design capacities. We wish to offer our customers cutting edge products but also to provide our own organization with the benefit of the major technological developments.

SKAKO Vibration development

3.2 Financial performance

Financial performance in 2021

SKAKO Vibration was showing a strong performance in 2021. This is mainly related to the recovery of the markets after the Covid-19 pandemic.

Revenue increased by 21.2% across all three segments, with especially strong growth in the hardware and recycling segments. Revenue from plant orders increased by 21.7% while revenue from aftersales increased by 20.1%. The increase in plant orders revenue was driven by the strong order intake in Q2 and Q3 2021, whereas the increase in aftersales is caused by a pick-up in industrial activity after the peak of the Covid crisis.

Compared to 2020, we realized a large increase in revenue from the recycling segment. This is mainly driven by the successful acquisition of SKAKO Dartek in November 2019. Furthermore, we experienced an increased demand in the hardware segment which was higher than our expectations, in particular from the automotive industry.

Gross profit and gross profit margin were realized with DKK 57.0m and 28.1% compared to DKK 47.0m and 28% in 2020. The increase in gross profit is a result of higher revenue, as gross profit margins are on a comparable level.

EBIT and EBIT margin were realized at DKK17.3m and 8.5% compared to DKK 11.8m and 7.0% in 2020. The higher EBIT and EBIT margin are due to higher revenue, however also with higher capacity cost.

Order intake amounted to DKK 198.9 compared to DKK 166.2m in 2020. In 2021. We still have a strong pipeline and expect order intake to improve through 2022. The order backlog at the end of 2021 amounts to DKK 54.3m (DKK 58.6m in 2020) which is 7.3% below the order backlog at the end of 2020.

First 100% metal slag recycling plant in the world

Recycling of high value-added metals: the "Terni Project"

In December 2019, Tapojärvi signed a contract with SKAKO Vibration of EUR 3.6m (DKK 26.8m) for the complete engineering of their slag recycling plant project in Terni (Italy) including the supply of more than 50 conveyors, screens and supporting frames.

Thanks to SKAKO Vibration's competences in project management as well as material handling and sorting techniques spread over its three expert centers in Denmark, Spain and France, the plant started running in September 2021 - despite the Covid-19 crisis - with a "dry process" of 50-80 tons of slag per hour while the "wet process" is expected to be started within the next months.

This plant is the first 100% metal slag recycling plant in the world. This means that all slag material entering the recycling plant is being reused in chemical or concrete products and in the metal industry for the most valuable components. Indeed, there are lots of expensive and exclusive metal material melted down and left inside the slag that can be recovered in the form of metal pieces sized between 1 kg and 1 mg.

Report on Corporate Social Responsibility, cf. Section 99a of the Danish Financial Statements Act

SKAKO strives to operate its business in a responsible manner and wants to comply with the legislation in all the countries where operations are conducted. Furthermore, compliance with Human Rights and consideration for the environment are considerable focus areas for the Group. SKAKO's work with corporate social responsibility is based on value creation and risk management.

SKAKO has chosen to focus its work on social responsibility within five areas: Environment, human rights, working environment, anti-corruption, and equality.

The policies below have been approved by the Board of Directors.

For a description of SKAKOs business model please see sections 2.1 and 3.1.

Environment

Policy

SKAKO seeks to reduce its impact on the environment by reducing energy consumption year on year. The Group is a know-how and engineering company with production of key components. The production mainly consists of assembling and testing and does not include energy-demand or polluting processes. All surface treatment processes are outsourced to sub-suppliers. A part of SKAKO's supplier "Code of Conduct" addresses impact on the environment. See under Human rights for more information about the supplier "Code of Conduct".

Furthermore, SKAKO actively seeks to reduce its energy consumption by, for example, installing LED lighting in its facilities. We are also currently exploring the possibility of installing solar roof panels.

In 2022, we will start a project to outline how SKAKO can become C02 neutral.

Actions

SKAKO will reduce consumption of kWh year on year in its production sites. We expect, however, to see a small increase in consumed kWh in 2022 since we do not expect the same levels of lock downs due to the Covid-19 pandemic in 2022 as in 2021.

KPI

Consumed kWh in production sites.

Result for 2021 compared to goal for 2021

SKAKO realized 17.9% lower consumption of kWh in 2021 compared to the goal of 1,000,000 kWh. This is mainly caused by lock-down period in spring 2021.

Anti-corruption and bribery

Policy

SKAKO seeks to avoid corruption and bribery by creating a framework that secures that employees at SKAKO are able to abide to laws and regulations, and that there will never exist any doubt with regards to a SKAKO employee's impartiality.

Actions

    1. SKAKO enforces a gift policy.
    1. SKAKO has introduced an internal whistle blower scheme to give employees the opportunity to report on corruption, bribery and other matters while being anonymous.
    1. SKAKO has developed an Employee "Code of Conduct" e-learning that describes the way SKAKO expects all its employees to act in accordance with laws and regulations. The employee "Code of Conduct" also describes usage of the whistle blower scheme. Every year all SKAKO employees must conduct the Employee "Code of Conduct" e-learning session.
    1. Maintain whistle blowerscheme to also be available for external parties.

KPIs

    1. No reported violations of anti-corruption laws and regulations, and SKAKO Employee Code of Conduct.
    1. All employees to pass SKAKO's Employee "Code of Conduct" e-learning.

Results for 2021 compared to goals for 2021

    1. SKAKO A/S has maintained its gift policy throughout 2021.
    1. SKAKO A/S has received no reported violations of anti-corruption laws and regulations, and SKAKO Employee Code of Conduct in 2021.
    1. 95% of SKAKO employees have passed the SKAKO Employee Code of Conduct e-learning. The main reason for the result not being 100% is new hires in late 2021 who did not complete the Code of Conduct session yet.
    1. In 2021, SKAKO has extended the whistle blower scheme to also be available to external parties. Furthermore, the whistle blower scheme is part of the SKAKO Employee Code of Conduct e-learning.

Equality, cf. Section 99b of the Danish Financial Statements Act

Policy

At SKAKO A/S we believe that a diverse and tolerant organization makes the company stronger, increases the competitiveness and creates a good and innovative working environment. We want to develop and benefit from the total potential of all employees and that all employees can develop their full potential in balance between working life and private life.

At present, SKAKO A/S has one female board member who entered the Board of Directors in April 2020 whereby SKAKO reached its goal of having at least one female board member by 2022. However, the Board of Directors is aware that this still represents an underrepresentation and wants to support and contribute to the part of female board members being increased. Considering SKAKO A/S's business and the line of business within which SKAKO A/S is operating, the Board of Directors has set the specific goal that the part of women elected at the general meeting is to amount to at least 40% by 2024.

In the view of the Board of Directors, the determined goal is an ambitious and realistic goal for a company within the lines of business in which SKAKO is operating as these lines of business traditionally do not have a large number of women neither in the board of directors nor at the other management levels. Within the last 12 months we succeeded in hiring one female manager who replaced a male manager. It is the plan of the Board of Directors to further increase the number of female managersin the years to come.

Ultimately, SKAKO A/S's shareholders elect the Board of Directors at the company's general assembly and consequently also determine the gender composition of the Board of Directors. To the extent that the Board of Directors proposes new candidates for the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors will regard gender as one separate parameter in order to reach the determined goal. When candidates are proposed for SKAKO A/S's Board of Directors, it is essential that the members represent professional competences relevant to SKAKO A/S.

It is SKAKO's goal to increase the part of women in the management group within a three-year period. SKAKO A/S will reach the goal by requiring candidates of both genders in the recruiting phase and by taking into account the underrepresented gender at succession planning. SKAKO works very intentionally on showing multiplicity in its marketing to signal that the company wants to reflect the society in its employee composition.

Actions

    1. SKAKO actively seeks to recruit new employees of all ethnicities and genders.
    1. SKAKO seeks to have an improved gender distribution in employees and Management.
    1. SKAKO seeks to have an improved gender distribution in the Board of Directors.

KPIs

Results for 2021 compared to goals for 2021

    1. In 2021, SKAKO is status quo, compared to 2020. However, the goal has not yet been realized. According to our policy this will be a continuous focus for SKAKO.
    1. In 2021, SKAKO is status quo, compared to 2020. Target has not been achieved, but will be part of the evaluation criteria for future recruitments to management
    1. In 2021, the Board of Directors remained unchanged, with one female board member. Changes in the Board of Directors is currently not expected.

Risks

Diversity, cf. Section 107d of the Danish Financial Statements Act

Policy

At SKAKO A/S we believe that a diverse and tolerant organization makes the company stronger, increases the competitiveness and creates a good and innovative working environment . We want to develop and benefit from the total potential of all employees and that all employees can develop their full potential in balance between working life and private life . Therefore, no discrimination based on gender, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, etc . is tolerated in SKAKO . When recruiting members to the SKAKO management team, we are convinced that diversity will add value to the company .

To make sure all employees and management in SKAKO comply with SKAKOs policies of tolerance and inclusion, we have established an Employee "Code of Conduct" e -learning that describes the way SKAKO expects all its employees to act in accordance with our policies, and laws and regulations .

Actions

    1. SKAKO has developed an Employee "Code of Conduct" e -learning that describes the way SKAKO expects all its employees to act in accordance with laws and regulations . The employee "Code of Conduct" also describes usage of the whistle blower scheme . Every year all SKAKO employees must carry through the Employee "Code of Conduct" e -learning . The e -learning provides the management with insight on how to secure diversity in the organization and on management level .
    1. Enhance the awareness in the SKAKO management team on the benefits of diversity . This could be in a workshop with this specific purpose

KPIs

  1. All employees to pass SKAKO's Employee "Code of Conduct" e -learning.

Results for 2021 compared to goals for 2021

  1. 95% of SKAKO employees have passed the SKAKO Employee Code of Conduct e learning . The main reason for the result not being 100 % is new hires late in 2021 who did not complete the Code of Conduct yet . Risks

4.3 RISK MANAGEMENT

First and foremost, risk management activities in the SKAKO Group focus on financial risks to which the Company is fairly likely to be exposed. In connection with the preparation of the Group's strategic, budgetary and annual plans, the Board of Directors considersthe risksidentified in these activities.

Financial risks

Financial risk management concentrates on identifying risks in respect of exchange rates, credit and liquidity with a view to protecting the Group against potential losses and ensuring that Management's forecasts for the current year are only to a limited extent affected by changes or events in the surrounding world – be the changes in exchange rates or in interest rates. It is Group policy to exclusively hedge financial risks arising from our commercial activities and not to undertake any financial transactions of a speculative nature.

Exchange rate risks

With more than 90% of the Group's sales being invoiced in foreign currencies, reported revenue is affected by movements in the Group's trading currencies. The Group seeks to hedge against such exchange rate risks by seeking to match positive and negative cash flows in the main currencies as much as possible. If deemed appropriate, foreign exchange rate contracts are entered into.

Credit risks

The Group's credit risks relate primarily to trade receivables. For large projects we have a signed Letter of Credit from the customer's bank before we undertake any work. Our remaining customer base is fragmented so credit risks in general only lead to minor losses on individual customers. Overall, we therefore estimate that we have no major credit exposure on Group level.

Liquidity risk

The Group aims at having sufficient cash resources to be able to take appropriate steps in case of unforeseen fluctuations in cash outflows. We have access to suitable undrawn credit facilities, and the liquidity risk is therefore considered to be low.

Financial reporting process and internal controls

SKAKO has established and maintains an internal control setup that supports correct and timely reporting to Management and Market. The responsibility of maintaining sufficient and efficient internal control and risk management in connection with financial reporting lies with the Executive Board. The Board of Directors has assessed the Group's existing control environment and concluded thatit is adequate and that there is no need forsetting up an internal auditfunction.

Once every quarter we carry through a detailed planning and forecast process, and any deviations from the plans and budgets are carefully monitored. Furthermore, we perform weekly, monthly and quarterly reviews and assessments of all large projects.

Management continuously seeks to minimize any financial consequences of damage to corporate assets including any operating losses resulting from such damage . We have invested in security and surveillance systems to prevent damage and to minimize such damage, should it arise . Major risks, which cannot be adequately minimized, are identified by the Company's Management, who will ensure that appropriate insurance policies are, on a continuous basis, established under the Group ' s global insurance program administered by recognized and credit rated insurance brokers and that such insurances are taken out with insurance companies with high credit ratings . The Group's insurance program has deductible clauses in line with normal market terms . The Board of Directors reviews the Company's insurance policies once a year including the coverage of identified risks and is briefed regularly on developments in identified risks . The purpose of this reporting is to keep the Board members fully updated and to facilitate corrective action to minimize any such risks

Declining market conditions

Management continuously monitors market conditions and maintains close relations to significant customers in order to be able to make a timely response in light of changing circumstances . Monitoring of consequences regarding the Corona virus falls under this category, as well as geopolitical risks such as the current Ukraine crisis

Cyber security

SKAKO maintains and enforces an IT safety policy to reduce risks from cyber crime Furthermore, SKAKO has implemented an IT contingency plan based on recommendations from the Danish Data Protection Agency . SKAKO's head of IT operations oversees monitoring and enforcing of the IT contingency plan

Project execution

The Company continuously e xecu tes projec t s across the world, and in some cases faces challenges in the execution . The Management continuously monitors project execution to identify possible risks as early as possible . Furthermore, projects are actively distributed among project managers to ensure that the most experienced managers execute the most complex projects

4.4 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND REMUNERATION REPORT

Recommendations on corporate governance

As a listed company on 31 December 2021, SKAKO observes the ´Recommendations on Corporate Governance´ (issued in November 2017 and updated in December 2020) implemented by Nasdaq Copenhagen in its ´Rules for issuers of shares´. The ´Recommendations on Corporate Governance´ contain 40 recommendations and are based on the comply-or-explain principle, which makes it legitimate for a company to explain why it does not comply with them. SKAKO fully complies with 37 of the 40 recommendations, and partially complies with one, and therefore complies with the ´Recommendations on Corporate Governance´ in all material respects.

A complete schematic presentation of the recommendations and how we comply, Statutory report on corporate governance, cf. section 107 b of the Danish Financial Statements Act, is available on our website under Investor Relations.

We find it relevant to highlight a number of aspects and supplementary information on corporate governance in the SKAKO Group in this chapter.

Deviations from recommendations

SKAKO has not established a nomination or a remuneration committee. Given the size of SKAKO, the Board of Directors finds it most suitable that the total Board of Directors takes care of the tasks. SKAKO has not yet disclosed a tax policy. This will be uploaded to our website as soon as the Board of Directors has released it.

Audit committee

The Company's Board of Directors has set up an audit committee. The Board of Directors appoints the chairman of the Audit Committee, who must be independent and who must not be Chairman of the Board of Directors.

According to its charter, the Audit Committee, among other things, assists the Board of Directors in relation to internal accounting and financial control systems, the integrity of the company's financial reports and engagements with external auditors. The audit committee also carries out ongoing assessments of the company's financial and business risks.

In 2021, the committee reviewed the main accounting principles, tax strategy and compliance and key risks, etc.

In 2021, the Audit Committee held five meetings.

Remuneration

The Company has formulated remuneration policies for the Board of Directors and Executive Management. The policies were approved on the general assembly 28 April 2021.

The policies is available on our website under Investor Relations.

Furthermore, the Company has produced a remuneration report for the Board of Directors and Executive Management.

The report is available on our website under Investor relations.

To the shareholders of SKAKO A/S

Report on the audit of the Financial Statements

Our opinion

In our opinion, the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Parent Company Financial Statements give a true and fair view of the Group's and the Parent Company's financial position at 31 December 2021 and of the results of the Group's and the Parent Company's operations and cash flows for the financial year 1 January to 31 December 2021 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU and further requirements in the Danish Financial Statements Act.

Our opinion is consistent with our Auditor's Long-form Report to the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors.

What we have audited

The Consolidated Financial Statements and Parent Company Financial Statements of SKAKO A/S for the financial year 1 January to 31 December 2021 comprise income statement and statement of comprehensive income, balance sheet, cash flow statement, statement of changes in equity and notes, including summary of significant accounting policies for the Group as well as for the Parent Company. Collectively referred to as the "Financial Statements".

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark. Our responsibilities under those standards and requirements are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Statements section of our report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Independence

We are independent of the Group in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) and the additional ethical requirements applicable in Denmark. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code. To the best of our knowledge and belief, prohibited non-audit services referred to in Article 5(1) of Regulation (EU) No 537/2014 were not provided.

Appointment

We were first appointed auditors of SKAKO A/S on 26 April 2012 for the financial year 2012. We have been reappointed annually by shareholder resolution for a total period of uninterrupted engagement of 10 years including the financial year 2021.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the Financial Statements for 2021. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Financial Statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Revenue recognition from construction contracts

Revenue from customer contracts is recognised over time. The proportion of revenue to be recognised in a particular period is calculated according to the percentage of completion of the project. This is measured by reference to the costs of performing the contract incurred up to the relevant balance sheet date as a percentage of the total estimated costs of performing the contract. Contract assets amounted to DKK 53 million (2020: DKK 66 million) net and contract liabilities DKK 20 million (2020: DKK 6 million).

Recognition of the Group's revenue involves a high degree of subjectivity in determining significant assumptions for the total estimated costs for the contracts.

We focused on this area, as recognition of revenue involves judgements made by Management originating from percentage of completion and estimated cost to completion. Reference is made to note 1 and 15.

Deferred tax assets

At 31 December 2021, the Group has recognised deferred tax assets of DKK 21 million (2020: DKK 21 million).

Management is required to exercise considerable judgement when determining the appropriate amount to capitalise in respect of deferred tax.

We focused on this area as the amounts involved are significant and the valuation of tax assets is dependent on highly subjective assumptions on budgeted taxable income for the coming years. Reference is made to note 13.

Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter

We considered the appropriateness of the Group's accounting policies for revenue recognition and assessed compliance with applicable accounting standards. We performed risk assessment procedures with the purpose of achieving an understanding of it-systems, procedures and relevant controls relating to revenue recognition from construction contracts. In respect of controls, we assessed whether these were designed and implemented effectively to address the risk of material misstatement.

We performed substantive procedures over input data from contracts and costs allocated to projects in order to assess the accounting treatment and principles applied.

We assessed Management's estimated cost to completion and contribution margin for construction contracts in order to evaluate the valuation of construction contracts and recognised revenue. We compared the estimated contribution margins to actual contribution margins for finished projects and to prior year's estimates.

We performed a retrospective analysis of Management's ability to assess the cost to completion and expected contribution margin in prior years.

We tested Management's estimated percentage of completion by assessing subsequent development in costs allocated to the projects and Management's updated estimates for cost to completion and contribution margin.

We evaluated Management's method for estimating the deferred tax assets. In understanding and evaluating Management's method and assumptions we performed a retrospective analysis of Management's ability to budget the taxable income in prior years.

Further, we examined the Group's budgets and projections for the coming years including significant assumptions. We evaluated and challenged the adequacy of the significant assumptions determined by Management in developing the accounting estimate.

Statement on Management's Review

Management is responsible for Management's Review.

Our opinion on the Financial Statements does not cover Management's Review, and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read Management's Review and, in doing so, consider whether Management's Review is materially inconsistent with the Financial Statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

Moreover, we considered whether Management's Review includes the disclosures required by the Danish Financial Statements Act.

Based on the work we have performed, in our view, Management's Review is in accordance with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Parent Company Financial Statements and has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Danish Financial Statements Act. We did not identify any material misstatement in Management's Review.

Management's responsibilities for the Financial Statements

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

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

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Financial Statements.

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

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's and the Parent Company's internal control.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by Management.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of Management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's and the Parent Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the Financial Statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group or the Parent Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Financial Statements, including the disclosures, and whether the Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that gives a true and fair view.

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

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

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence and, where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the Financial Statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Report on compliance with the ESEF Regulation

As part of our audit of the Financial Statements we performed procedures to express an opinion on whether the annual report of SKAKO A/S for the financial year 1 January to 31 December 2021 with the filename 529900WNR3U8C847AW24-2021- 12-31-en.zip is prepared, in all material respects, in compliance with the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/815 on the European Single Electronic Format (ESEF Regulation) which includes requirements related to the preparation of the annual report in XHTML format and iXBRL tagging of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Management is responsible for preparing an annual report that complies with the ESEF Regulation. This responsibility includes:

  • The preparing of the annual report in XHTML format;
  • The selection and application of appropriate iXBRL tags, including extensions to the ESEF taxonomy and the anchoring thereof to elements in the taxonomy, for all financial information required to be tagged using judgement where necessary;
  • Ensuring consistency between iXBRL tagged data and the Consolidated Financial Statements presented in human-readable format; and
  • For such internal control as Management determines necessary to enable the preparation of an annual report that is compliant with the ESEF Regulation.

Our responsibility is to obtain reasonable assurance on whether the annual report is prepared, in all material respects, in compliance with the ESEF Regulation based on the evidence we have obtained, and to issue a report that includes our opinion. The nature, timing and extent of procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material departures from the requirements set out in the ESEF Regulation, whether due to fraud or error. The procedures include:

  • Testing whether the annual report is prepared in XHTML format;
  • Obtaining an understanding of the company's iXBRL tagging process and of internal control over the tagging process;
  • Evaluating the completeness of the iXBRL tagging of the Consolidated Financial Statements;
  • Evaluating the appropriateness of the company's use of iXBRL elements selected from the ESEF taxonomy and the creation of extension elements where no suitable element in the ESEF taxonomy has been identified;
  • Evaluating the use of anchoring of extension elements to elements in the ESEF taxonomy; and
  • Reconciling the iXBRL tagged data with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements.

In our opinion, the annual report of SKAKO A/S for the financial year 1 January to 31 December 2021 with the file name 529900WNR3U8C847AW24-2021-12-31-en.zip is prepared, in all material respects, in compliance with the ESEF Regulation.

1. Revenue from contracts with customers

Accounting policy

SKAKO operates in the following business segments: SKAKO Concrete and SKAKO Vibration.

SKAKO Concrete develops, designs and sells a versatile high-end product range of all types of concrete batching plants for ready-mix, precast and jobsite plants. The main focus is on plant sales with a strong aftersales division.

SKAKO Vibration develops, designs and sells high-end vibratory feeding, conveying, and screening equipment, used across the complete spectrum of material handling and processing. The main focus is on plantsales with a solid aftersales division.

Administrative functions such as Finance, HR and IT are shared by the divisions. The administrative functions are based in the individual countries but supported by Group functions in Denmark. Shared costs are allocated to business segments based on assessment of usage.

All intercompany transactions are made on market terms.

Segment assets and liabilities comprise items directly attributable to a segment and items that can be allocated to a segment on a reasonable basis.

Revenue is the fair value of consideration received or receivable from the sale of our plants and aftersales products or services and is the gross sales price less VAT and any price reductionsin the form of discounts and rebates.

Geographical information is based on the four regions that support the industries. Revenue is presented in the region in which delivery takes place.

Segment income and costs include transactions between business areas. The transactions are eliminated in connection with the consolidation

Revenue is recognized over time or at a point in time. Revenue is recognized over time when an asset on behalf of a customer is created with no alternative use and SKAKO has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed year to date, or the customer obtains control of a plant or product and thus has the ability to direct the use and obtain the benefit from the plant or product.

Terms of payment are depending on conditions in the specific market. Plant sales orders are in general agreed with pre-payment and payment milestones.

Plant sales

Plant sales are negotiated contracts to design and install concrete batching plants, and vibratory feeding, conveying and screening equipment for customers. Revenue will be recognized over time, as the above criteria are met, using "the percentage of completion method".

The proportion of revenue to be recognized in a particular period is calculated according to the percentage of completion of the project. For most contracts this is measured by reference to the costs of performing the contract incurred up to the relevant balance sheet date as a percentage of the total estimated costs of performing the contract. Reference to cost is assessed to be the most appropriate method as incurred hours and material costs are the value drivers for the projects. The sales value agreed in the contract is recognized over the contract period using above method.

Contracts where the recognized revenue from the work performed exceeds progress billings are recognized in the balance sheet under assets

Contracts for which progress billings exceed the revenue are recognized under liabilities. Prepayments from customers are recognized under liabilities.

If it is likely that the total costs in relation to a construction contract will exceed the total revenue on a specific project, the expected loss is recognized immediately in the income statement in the current period.

1. Revenue from contracts with customers CONTINUED

Accounting policy CONTINUED

Aftersales,spare parts and products Aftersales services

Both divisions in SKAKO sell a range of spare parts and products as aftersales to the plant sales. Revenue is recognized when control of the products has transferred, being when the products are delivered to the customer. Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped to the specific location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer, and SKAKO has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been fulfilled.

In both divisions, revenue from the service contracts is recognized in the period in which the services are provided based on amounts billable to a customer. Revenue is recognized based on usage of units, and price lists according to the contract.

Significant assessment by Management

Assessments regarding contracts with customers is performed when determining if a contract for sale of a plant, spare parts or service, or a combination hereof, involves one or more performance obligations.

Assessments regarding recognition method are made when determining if a contract for sale of a plant, spare parts or service is recognized as revenue over time or at a point in time. The assessments relate to whether we have an alternative use of the assets sold and if we have an enforceable right to payment throughout the contractual term.

When assessing if an asset has no alternative use, we estimate the alternative use cost amount. We have limited historical data as we rarely redirect our assets. The estimate is based on the specifics of each contract. When assessing if we are entitled to payment throughout the contract term, an assessment is made based on the contract wording, legal entitlement and profit estimates.

Significant estimates by Management

Total expected costs related to plant sales are partly based on estimates as they include provisions for unforeseen cost deviations in future supplies of raw materials, subcontractor products and services plus construction

and handing over. Provisions for warranties on work-in-progress for third parties are based on Management estimates for each project while taking contract obligations into account.

3. Production costs

______

Accounting policy

Production costs are costs incurred to generate revenue. Production costs consist of raw materials, consumables, production staff, research and development cost as well as maintenance of and depreciation, amortisation and impairment losses on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets used in the production process.

Research costs are always recognized in the Income Statement in step with the incurrence of such costs. Development costs include all costs not satisfying the capitalisation criteria, but incurred in connection with development, prototype construction and development of new business concepts.

Direct and indirect research and development incentives in terms of tax incentives and other grants and subsidy schemes for research and development are recognized when there is reasonable certainty that the conditions for such grants are satisfied and that they will be awarded. Grants are offset against research and development costs.

The measurement and classification of government grants related to research and development is based on Management's assessment. The incentive schemes applied do not require positive taxable income and hence government grants received have been accounted for in accordance with IAS 20.

5. Share-based payment, warrants

_________
_

Accounting policy

Plans classified as equity-settled warrants are measured at fair value at grant date and are recognized in the income statement as staff costs in the period in which the final entitlement to the warrantsis attained (the vesting period), as well as an inflow directly in equity.

In connection with initial recognition of warrants, an estimate is made of the number of warrants to which Group Executive Management and key staff are expected to become entitled. Subsequent adjustment is made for changes in the estimate of the number of warrant entitlements, so the total recognition is based on the actual number of warrant entitlements.

The fair value of the warrants allocated is estimated by means of the Monte Carlo model. The calculation takes into account the terms and conditions under which the share warrants are allocated.

In 2016, 2017 and 2021, respectively, the Executive Management and other key employees in the Group have been granted warrants to purchase a total of 350,000 shares in the company at a set price (strike price). The share-based programme has vesting conditions under which Management must stay employed for three years to receive the remuneration. The following exercise period runs for two years.

Warrants granted in 2016 and 2017 have fully vested on 31 December 2021.

7. Net financial items

_________
_________

Accounting policy

Net financial items mainly consist of interest income and interest expenses and also include interest on lease debt as well as realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses. Interest income and interest expenses are accrued based on the principal amount and the effective interest rate.

The effective interest rate is the discount rate used for discounting expected future payments attaching to the financial asset or financial liability in order for the present value to match the carrying amount of such asset or liability.

Treasury shares represent 0.73% of number of shares issued.

10. Intangible assets

_________
_________

Accounting policy

On initial recognition, goodwill is recognized and measured as the difference between the purchase price – including the value of noncontrolling interests in the acquired enterprise and the fair value of any existing investment in the acquired enterprise – and the fair values of the acquired assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities. Please refer to Accounting policies in Note 20.

On recognition, goodwill is allocated to corporate activities that generate independent payments (cash generating units). The definition of a cashgenerating unit is in line with the Group's managerial structure as well as the internal financial management reporting.

Intangible assets with a finite useful life are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least once a year. If the recoverable amount of a cash-generating unit is lower than the carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets including goodwill, attributable to the particular cash generating unit, the particular assets will be written down.

Development projects for which the technical rate of utilization, sufficient resources and a potential future market or application in the Group can be demonstrated and which are intended to be manufactured, marketed or used are recognized as completed development projects. This requires that the cost can be determined, and it is sufficiently certain that the future earnings or the net selling price will cover production, sales and administrative costs plus the development costs. Other development costs are recognized in the income statement when the costs are incurred. Development costs consist of salaries and other costs that are directly attributable to development activities.

Amortization of completed development projects is charged on a straightline basis during their estimated useful life. Development projects are written down for impairment to recoverable amount, if lower. Development projectsin progress are tested for impairment once a year.

The amortization profile is systematically based on the expected useful life of the assets, taking into account the remaining agreement period and consumption (unit of production method) at the time of implementation. The basis of amortization is reduced by impairment, if any.

Amortization takes place systematically over the estimated useful life of the assets which is as follows:

  • Development costs, 2-10 years
  • Software systems, 2-10 years
  • Other intangible assets, 3-5 years

10. Intangible assets CONTINUED

Significant estimate by Management

Impairment testing is carried out annually on preparation of the annual report or on indication of impairment in which discounted values of future cash flows are compared with carrying amounts. The calculations use cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by Management covering a five-year period.

Cash flows beyond the five-year period are extrapolated using growth rates estimated by Management.

Impairment test of goodwill:

The carrying amount of goodwill related to Dartek, DKK 22,294k, and Conparts ApS, DKK 3,145k.

10. Intangible assets CONTINUED

Dartek

Goodwill for Dartek have been tested for impairment on 31 December 2021 based on value in use. Net cash flows for the years 2022-2026 are determined on the basis of key assumptions and estimates based on growth and profit margin expectations in accordance with SKAKO's business plans. The discount rate used amounts to 8.0% before tax and estimates for future revenue growth (2020: 8.0% before tax). The uncertainties associated with these expectations are reflected in the cash flow. The valuation method is based on annual revenue growth of 2% in 2022 to 2026 as well as in the terminal period. The test did not result in any impairment of the carrying amountsrelated to the cash generating units Dartek.

A sensitivity analysis has not been carried out, as negative changes in the fundamental assumption, which will result in impairment of goodwill, are considered unlikely to become a reality.

Conparts

Goodwill for Conparts have been tested for impairment on 31 December 2021 based on value in use. Net cash flows for the years 2022-2026 are determined on the basis of key assumptions and estimates based on growth and profit margin expectations in accordance with SKAKO's business plans.

Accounting policy

Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments:

  • Fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable.
  • Variable lease payment that are based on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as the commencement date.
  • Amounts expected to be payable by the Group under residual value guarantees.
  • The exercise price of a purchase option if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise that option.
  • Payments of penalties for terminating the lease if the lease term reflects the Group exercising that option.

The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate for implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be readily determined, which is generally the case for leasesin the Group., the lessee'sincremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the individual lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment with similar terms, security and conditions.

Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:

  • The amount of the initial measurement of lease liability.
  • Any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentivesreceived.
  • Any initial direct cost and restoration cost.

Right-of-use assets are generally depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis. While the Group revalues its land and buildings that are presented within property, plant and equipment, it has chosen not to do so for the right-of-use buildings held by the Group.

Payments associated with short-term leases of equipment and vehicles and all leases of low-value assets are recognized on a straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases are leased with a lease term of 12 months or less. Low-value assets comprise IT equipment and small items of office furniture.

13. Deferred tax

_________
_________

Accounting policy

Deferred tax is calculated using the balance sheet liability method on temporary differences between the carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is calculated based on the applicable tax rates for the individual financial years. The effect of changes in the tax rates is stated in the income statement unless they are items previously entered in the statement of other comprehensive income.

A deferred tax provision is made to cover re-taxation of losses in foreign enterprises if shares in the enterprises concerned are likely to be sold and to cover expected additional future tax liabilities related to financial year or previous years. No deferred tax liabilities regarding investments in subsidiaries are recognized if the shares are unlikely to be sold in the short term.

The tax value of losses that are expected with adequate certainty to be available for utilization against future taxable income in the

same legal tax unit and jurisdiction is included in the measurement of deferred tax.

SKAKO A/S is jointly taxed with all Danish subsidiaries, SKAKO A/S being the administrator of the Danish joint taxation.

All the Danish subsidiaries provide for the Danish tax based on the current rules with full distribution. Recognition of deferred tax assets and tax liabilities is made in the individual Danish enterprises based on the principles described above. The jointly taxed Danish enterprises are included in the Danish tax payable on account scheme.

If companies in the Group have deferred tax liabilities, they are valued independently of the time when the tax, if any, becomes payable.

Significant estimate by Management

Deferred tax assets, including the tax value of tax losses allowed for carry forward, are recognized in the balance sheet at the estimated realisable value of such assets, either by a set-off against a deferred tax liability or by a net asset to be set off against future positive taxable income. At the balance sheet date, an assessment is made as to whether it is probable that sufficient taxable income will be available in the future against which the deferred tax asset can be utilized. Deferred tax on temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax values of investments in subsidiaries is recognized unless the Parent is able to control the time of realization of such deferred tax, and it is probable that such deferred tax will not be realized as current tax in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax is recognized in respect of eliminations of intra-Group profits and losses.

Tax losses carried forward are not subject to time limitation. All recognized deferred tax assets are expected to be offset against positive taxable income within a five-year period. Recognition is based on current results and Management's expectations for the future. The deferred tax assets are evaluated in each joint taxation in the SKAKO Group, consisting of joint taxationsin respectively Denmark, France, Germany, Spain, the USA and the UK.

Management has performed a sensitivity analysis on expectations for the future. This shows that a 10 % decrease compared to expectations will result in a decrease of DKK 2.0m in the recognized deferred tax assets. Because the deferred tax assets are evaluated in each joint taxation, the sensitivity cannot be applied on a linear basis.

14. Inventory

Accounting policy

Raw materials, work-in-progress and goods for resale are measured at cost according to the FIFO principle (according to which the most recently purchased items are considered to be in stock) or at their net realizable value, whichever is lower.

Group-manufactured products and work in progress are measured at the value of direct cost, direct payroll costs, consumables and a proportionate share of indirect production costs (IPO), which are allocated on the basis of the normal capacity of the production facility. IPO include the proportionate share of capacity costs directly relating to Group-manufactured products and work in progress.

15. Contract assets and liabilities

_________
_________

Accounting policy

Revenue is recognized based on the value of the work completed at the balance sheet date. The revenue corresponds to the sales value of the year's completed work based on costs incurred as a percentage of the total estimated costs (percentage of completion method).

The stage of completion for the individual project is calculated as the ratio between the cost incurred at the balance sheet date and the total estimated cost to complete the project. In some projects, where cost estimates cannot be used as a basis, the ratio between completed sub-activities and the total project is used instead. All direct and indirect costs that relate to the completion of the contract are included in the calculation.

When invoicing on account exceeds the value of the work completed, the liability is recognized as a contract liability under short-term liabilities.

If projects are expected to be loss-making, the loss is recognized immediately in the income statement. Costs not yet incurred are provided for as other provisions. Provisions are based on individual assessment of the estimated loss until the projects have been completed.

Significant assessment by Management

Total expected costs related to work-in-progress for third parties are partly based on estimates as they include provisions for unforeseen cost deviations in future supplies of raw materials, subcontractor products and services plus construction and handing over. Provisions for warranties on work-in-progress for third parties are based on Management estimates for each project while taking contract obligations into account.

Accounting policy

Debt to credit institutions is recognized at the date of borrowing at the proceeds received less transaction costs. For subsequent periods, financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost in order for the difference between proceeds and the nominal value to be recognized as a financial expense over the term of the loan.

Based on the Group's net debt at the end of the 2021 financial year, a rise of 1 percentage point in the general interest rate level will cause a decrease in consolidated annual earnings after tax and equity of approx. DKK 266k (DKK 380k in 2020).

Cash management

SKAKO is committed to maintaining a flexible capital structure. On 31 December 2021, SKAKO had undrawn committed credit facilitiesin the amount of DKK 12,342 (2020: DKK 21,150k). On 31 December 2021, SKAKO had 'cash and cash equivalents' and 'bank overdraft', net of DKK 3,105k (2020: DKK 2,159k).

Capital management

SKAKO monitors capital on the basis of the net debt relative to EBITDA. At the end of the year, the net debt to EBITDA ratio was equity ratio was 1.0 (2020: 1.7). SKAKO has a medium-term goal of a net debt to EBITDA ratio below 2.5.

17. Provisions

_________
_________

Accounting policy

Provisions are recognized when the Group, due to an event occurring before or at the balance sheet date, has a legal or constructive obligation and it is probable that financial benefits must be waived to settle the obligation. Provisions are measured according to Management's best estimate of the amount whereby the obligation is expected to be settled.

Provisions for warranty claims are estimated on a project-by-project basis based on historically realized cost related to claims in the past. The provision covers estimated own costs of completion, subsequent warranty supplies and unsettled claims from customers or subcontractors.

Provisions regarding disputes and lawsuits are based on Management's assessment of the likely outcome settling the cases based on the information at hand at the balance sheet date.

Significant assessment by Management

Management assesses provisions and the likely outcome of pending and probable lawsuits, etc. on an on-going basis. The outcome depends on future events, which are uncertain by nature. In assessing the likely outcome of lawsuits, etc., Management bases its assessment on internal and external legal assistance and established precedents.

Warranties and other provisions are measured on the basis of empirical information covering several years. Together with estimates by Management of future trends, this forms the basis for warranty provisions and other provisions. Long-term warranties and other provisions discounted to net present value takes place based on the future cash flow and discount rate expected by Management.

19. Exchange rate, liquidity and credit risks

_________
_________

Accounting policy

To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables and contract assets have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due. The contract assets relate to unbilled work in progress and have substantially the same risk characteristics as the trade receivables for the same types of contracts. The Group has therefore concluded that the expected loss rates for trade receivables are a reasonable approximation of the loss rates for the contract assets.

The expected loss rates are based on the payment profiles of sales over a period of 36 months before 31 December 20210 and the corresponding historical credit losses experienced within this period. The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables.

Trade receivables and contract assets are written down when there is no reasonable expectation ofrecovery. Indicatorsthat there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, amongst others, the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan with the Group, and a failure to make contractual payments for a period of longer than 120 days past due.

Impairment losses on trade receivables and contract assets are presented as net impairment losses within operating profit. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written down are credited against the same line item.

Risk management activities in the SKAKO Group mainly focus on financial risksto which the Company is fairly likely to be exposed. In connection with the preparation of the Group's strategic, budgetary and annual plans, the Board of Directors considersthe risks identified in these activities.

Financial risks

Financial risk management concentrates on identifying risks in respect of exchange rates, credit and liquidity with a view to protecting the Group against potential losses and ensuring that Management'sforecasts for the current year are only to a limited extent affected by changes or events in the surrounding world – be the changes in exchange rates or in interest rates. It is Group policy to exclusively hedge financial risks arising from our commercial activities and not to undertake any financial transactions of a speculative nature.

Exchange rate risks

With more than 90% of the Group's sales being invoiced in foreign currencies, primarily EUR, reported revenue is affected by movements in the Group's trading currencies. The Group seeks to hedge against such exchange rate risks by seeking to match positive and negative cash flows in the main currencies as much as possible.

19. Exchange rate, liquidity and credit risks CONTINUED

Below is a sensitivity analysis in respect of exchange rates, given a positive change of 5% in the currencies with the highest exposures. We do not consider a currency risk on EUR. The estimate has been provided on a non-hedged basis.

MAD 21,648 5% 1,082 375

Liquidity risk

The Group aims at having sufficient cash resources to be able to take appropriate steps in case of unforeseen fluctuationsin cash outflows. We have access to suitable undrawn credit facilities and the liquidity risk is therefore considered to be low.

Credit risks

The Group's credit risks relate primarily to trade receivables and contract assets. For large projects we have a signed Letter of Credit from the customer's bank before we undertake any work. Our remaining customer base is fragmented so credit risks in general only involve minor losses on individual customers. Overall, we therefore estimate that we have no major credit exposure on Group level. The maximum credit risk relating to receivables matches the carrying amount of such receivables. All trade receivables are considered to be paid within one year

Trade receivables can be allocated as follows:

The Group has two types of financial assets that are subject to the expected credit loss model:

  • Trade receivables from contracts with customers
  • Contract assetsfrom plantsales

19. Exchange rate, liquidity and credit risks CONTINUED

While cash and cash equivalents are also subject to the impairment requirements of IFRS 9, the identified impairment loss was immaterial. The loss allowance as at 31 December 2021 and 31 December 2020 was determined as followsfor both trade receivables and contract assets:

20. Acquisitions

Accounting policy

The acquisition date is the date when the SKAKO effectively obtains control of an acquired subsidiary.

The cost of a business combination comprises the fair value of the consideration agreed upon including the fair value of consideration contingent on future events.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments in connection with the acquisition of a foreign entity with a functional currency other than SKAKO's presentation currency (DKK) are treated as assets and liabilities belonging to the foreign entity and translated into the foreign entity's functional currency at the exchange rate at the transaction date.

The acquired entities' identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are measured at fair value at the acquisition date.

Identifiable intangible assets are recognized if they are separable or arise from a contractual right. Deferred tax on revaluationsis recognized.

The identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities on initial recognition at the acquisition date are subsequently adjusted up until 12 months after the acquisition. The effect of the adjustments is recognized in the opening balance of equity, and the comparative figures are restated accordingly if the amount is material.

Except in cases of material error, changes in estimates of contingent purchase considerations are recognized in the income statement under financial items, unless they qualify for recognition directly in equity.

20. Acquisitions CONTINUED

Significant assessment by Management

Purchase price allocation

For acquisitions of entities, the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquiree are recognized using the acquisition method. The most significant assets acquired generally comprise goodwill, customer agreements and portfolios, property, plant and equipment, receivables and inventories.

No active market exists for the majority of the acquired assets and liabilities, in particular in respect of acquired intangible assets. Accordingly, Management makes estimates of the fair value of acquired assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities. Depending on the nature of the item, the determined fair value of an item may be associated with uncertainty and possibly adjusted subsequently.

The unallocated purchase price (positive amount) is recognized in the statement of financial position as goodwill and allocated to the Group's cash generating units. Management makes estimates of the acquired cash generating units, the cash generating units that already exist in the Group and the allocation of goodwill.

On 1 November 2020, SKAKO gained control over Conparts ApS (Faaborg, Denmark) through the acquisition of 100% of the shares.

The calculated goodwill represents staff know-how that SKAKO expects to utilize in the existing business.

Transactions costs related to the acquisition of Conparts amounts to DKK 0.4m where all has been recognized in 2020. Transaction costs have been recognized in the income statement under administrative costs.

The purchase price allocation of the fair value of identified assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities is ongoing. Adjustments are therefore expected to be made to several items in the opening balance, including immaterial assets and goodwill. The accounting treatment of the acquisition will be completed within the 12-month period from the acquisition date required by IFRS 3. Because of the nature of the contingent liability, as described below, it is not possible to estimate a completely accurate purchase price currently.

Purchase price allocation

Management believes that the purchase price for Conparts accounted for in the consolidated financialstatements reflects the best estimate of the total fair value of the business and the proportionate value of identified assets, liabilities, and accordingly the allocation of goodwill.

Financial impact of acquisition

Revenue and net profit included in the consolidated financial statementssince the acquisition was DKK 0.0m and DKK 0.0m respectively.

The price paid for Conparts ApS is fixed at DKK 5.5m with an upfront payment of DKK 1.5m, and the remaining amount (contingent consideration) over a five year period until 2025. The fair value of the contingent consideration is based on a level 3 fair value calculation.

21. Contractual liabilities, contingent liabilities and securities

The company's financial institutions have provided bank guaranteesfor consignments and prepayments of a total of DKK 16.7 million (2020: DKK 1.5 million).

Towards the company's primary financial institution, a deposit of DKK 50 million (2020: DKK 50 million) has been provided with deposit in unsecured claims, stocks, tangible assets and intangible rights.

There is a 12-month rent commitment related to a building in Denmark. The minimum rent liability amountsto DKK 3.0 million (2020: DKK 3.0 million).

The Danish subsidiaries of the Group are liable for tax of the jointly taxed income, etc. of the Group. SKAKO A/S is the administrative company of the joint taxation.

22. Related parties

SKAKO A/S has no related parties with a controlling interest. Given its share of ownership, Frederik2 ApS are considered to have significant influence.

The company's related parties comprise the company's Executive Management, Board of Directors and these persons' related family members. Related parties also comprise companies in which the before-mentioned persons have controlling or common control. In addition, related parties comprise the subsidiaries cf. page 131 in which SKAKO A/S has controlling or significant influence.

23. Events after the balance sheet date

There have been no events that materially affect the assessment of this Annual Report 2021 after the balance sheet date and up to today.

24. Approval and publication

At the Board meeting on 17 March 2022, our Board of Directors approved this Annual Report 2021 for publication. The report will be presented to the shareholders of SKAKO A/S at the annual general meeting on 19 April 2022.

The Group's general accounting policies are described below. In addition to this, specific accounting policies are described in each of the individual notes to the consolidated financialstatements.

Generally

The consolidated financial statements are presented in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU and Danish disclosure requirements for annual reports published by reporting class D (listed) companies cf. the Danish executive order on IFRS issued in compliance with the Danish Financial Statements Act. The registered office of SKAKO A/S is in Faaborg, Denmark.

The consolidated financialstatements are presented in Danish kroner (DKK), which is the presentation currency for Group activities and the functional currency for the Parent. The consolidated financialstatements are presented on the basis of historical cost except for share-based remuneration which are measured at their fair value.

The financial statementsfor the Parent as well as the Parent's accounting policies are presented from the consolidated financialstatements and are shown on the last part of this Annual Report 2021

The accounting policies remain unchanged for the consolidated financial statements compared to 2020.

Effect of new accounting standards

Amendments to IFRS 4, 7, 9 and 16, as well as IAS 39 have no impact on the Group's accounting policies, due to immateriality to SKAKO.

Changes in accounting policies and classification for 2022

No new standards are expected to be implemented in 2022.

Effect of new accounting standards not yet in force

Revised and new standards and interpretations issued, but not yet effective or approved by the EU at the time of publication of this Annual Report 2021 have not been incorporated into this report.

Definition of materiality

IFRS contain extensive disclosure requirements. The Group discloses the information required according to IFRS unless such information is deemed immaterial.

Consolidated financial statements

The consolidated financialstatements comprise SKAKO A/S (the Parent) and the enterprises in which the Parent can or actually does exercise control by either directly or indirectly holding more than 50% of the voting rights.

Consolidation principles

The consolidated financialstatements are prepared on the basis of the financial statements for the Parent and its subsidiaries by aggregating uniform items. The financialstatements included in the consolidated financialstatements are prepared in accordance with the Group's accounting policies. Intra-Group income, expenses, shareholdings, balances and dividends as well as unrealized intra- Group profits on inventories are eliminated. The accounting items of subsidiaries are recognized 100% in the consolidated financialstatements.

Income statement

Income and costs are recognized on an accrual basis. The income statement is broken down by function, and all costs including depreciation, amortization and impairment losses are then charged to production, distribution and administration.

Distribution costs

Distribution costs include costs relating to training, sales, marketing, promotion materials, distribution, bad debts as well as depreciation, amortisation and impairment losses on assets used for distribution purposes.

Administrative expenses

Administrative expenses include administrative staff costs, office expenses as well as depreciation, amortisation and impairment losses on assets used for administrative purposes.

25. Group accounting policies CONTINUED

Prepaid expenses

Prepaid expenses recognized under assets include costs relating to the subsequent financial years. Prepaid expenses are measured at cost.

Deferred income

Deferred income includes income received relating to the subsequent financial year. Deferred income is measured at cost.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of bank deposits and certain overdrafts, and other liquid assets.

Equity

Foreign currency translation reserve includesforeign currency translation adjustments on the translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries from their respective functional currenciesinto Danish kroner. Foreign currency translation adjustments are recognized in the income statement on realization of the net investment. Hedging reserves include fair value adjustments of derivatives satisfying the criteria for hedging of future transactions. The amounts are recognized in the income statement or the balance sheet in step with recognition of the hedged transactions.

Treasury shares

On the sales of treasury shares, the purchase price or selling price, respectively, is recognized directly in equity under other reserves (retained earnings).

Cash flow statement

The cash flow statement is prepared according to the indirect method and reflects the consolidated net cash flow broken down into operating, investing and financing activities.

Cash flow from operating activities includes inflows from the year's operations adjusted for non-cash operating items, changes in working capital, financial income received and expenses paid, realized foreign currency translation gains and losses and income tax paid. Cash flow from investing activities includes the purchase, development, improvement or sale of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment.

Cash flow from investing activities comprises cash flows from the purchase and sale of intangible, tangible and financial non-current assets.

Cash flow from financing activities comprises cash flows from raising and repaying long-term debt, instalments on lease liabilities and bank overdraft.

Estimates and judgements

On the preparation of the consolidated financialstatements, Management makes a number of accounting estimates and judgements. These relate to the recognition, measurement and classification of assets and liabilities. Many items can only be estimated rather than accurately measured. Such estimates are based on the most recent information available on preparation of the financialstatements. Estimates and assumptions are therefore reassessed on an ongoing basis. Actual figures may, however, deviate from these estimates. Any changes in accounting estimates will be recognized in the reporting period in which such changes are made. See list of significant estimates and assessments in chapter 5.4

Financial ratios

Financial ratios are calculated as follows:

  • Gross profit margin = Gross profit x 100 / Revenue
  • Profit margin = EBIT x 100 / Revenue
  • Liquidity ratio = Total current assets x 100 / Total current liabilities
  • Equity ratio = Total equity x 100 / Total assets
  • Return on equity = Profit for the period x 100 / (Equity this year + equity prior year) / 2
  • Financial leverage = Net interest-bearing debt x 100 / Equity
  • Net debt to EBITDA = Net debt / EBITDA (EBIT less depreciations)
  • NWC/Revenue = Net working capital x 100 / Revenue
  • Earnings per share = Profit for the period / Shares in free flow
  • Equity value per share = Equity / Totalshares
  • Share price = Share price at end of period
  • Price-book ratio = Share price / Equity per share
  • Market capitalization = Total number of share x Share price
  • ROIC = NOPAT / (Invested capital this year + invested capital prior year)/ 2
  • NOPAT = Profit for the period +/- net financial income
  • Invested capital = Total assets net cash and credits deferred tax assets non-interest-bearing current liabilities

26. Correction of not significant mistake in the financial figures for 2020

In connection with the preparation of the financial report for H1 2021, we encountered an accounting error in SKAKO's ERP system whereby some purchases in SKAKO Concrete were recognized as inventory instead of productions costs. The resulting mistake in the financial statements amounts to DKK 2.0m in 2020 distributed with DKK 1.0m in Q2 2020 and DKK 1.0m in Q4 2020.

The mistake is not significant for the annual report and does not affect cash flows but could disturb comparisons between 2021 and 2020, which is why the comparative figures for 2020 have been corrected. The correction has a negative effect on the result for 2020 of DKK 2.0m, just as inventories and equity are correspondingly negatively affected with this amount. The effect of

the correction on the comparative figures for 2020 is shown in the tables below.

EBIT for SKAKO A/S for 2020 before correction of the mistake amounted to DKK 17.2m. With the correction of DKK 2.0 m, EBIT amounts to DKK 15.2m.

The discovery of the error in the ERP system has led to updates being implemented to SKAKO's ERP system.

The correction has no impact on cash flow. The total balance has decreased from DKK 324.1m to DKK 322.1m
