Dear Shareholders,
Dear Partners,
Dear Colleagues,
2024 was an important milestone for TeraPlast Group, a year in which we honored our promise to continue our development and regional expansion strategy. We moved from strategic intentions to concrete actions through acquisitions that strengthen our position in Central and Eastern Europe: we now have operations and production capacities in Hungary and Austria through the Wolfgang Freiler Group, in the Republic of Moldova through Palplast, and in Croatia through Optiplast. These investments reinforce our regional footprint, expand our product portfolio, and allow us to serve not only customers in Romania but also those in Western Europe, offering high-quality products manufactured in Romania or in the region, at the standards of global leaders.
In Romania, we continued to invest, with the most important project being the Opal stretch film factory. With this investment, we entered a market dominated by imports, offering high-performance Romanian products, while supporting the development of local production and surrounding businesses.
We remain the largest polymer processor in Southeast Europe, by production capacity. We grew not only through acquisitions but also organically, by strengthening existing partnerships and increasing our market share. At the same time, we maintained our commitment to sustainable development. Wolfgang Freiler Group's portfolio includes products with a high share of recycled material, our recycled PVC pipe patent is unique in Europe, and in Romania, we invested in a new photovoltaic plant to enhance our energy efficiency. As a result of the latter, the products manufactured by TeraPlast in Sărățel are made with 100% renewable energy, combining on-site solar generation with guarantees of origin from our electricity supplier.

At the same time, TeraVerde Carbon launches its reforestation activities with a project covering over 33 hectares, across four plots of degraded land – former pastures that will be transformed into forests. Through TeraVerde Carbon, we contribute to restoring local ecosystems, improving the microclimate, and, at the same time, to carbon sequestration.
In terms of performance, in 2024 the Group's consolidated turnover increased by 34%, reaching almost 900 million lei, and in volume, we produced and delivered over 100,000 tonnes – a 46% increase compared to the previous year. Sales outside Romania have more than doubled – proof that our vision for regional expansion was the right one. It is true that the year closed with a loss, but this is a natural consequence of our accelerated investments and growth. New businesses involve upfront efforts and short-term costs, but they lay the foundation for healthy growth in the medium and long term.
While many owners of similar companies felt discouraged and lacked confidence, willing to sell high-performing, well-positioned factories equipped with modern technologies, we chose to buy. We bought because we know that by producing in a country you become a market leader there – and by respecting your clients, you can remain a leader forever. We made acquisitions when they needed to be made – not when it was easy, but when the context offered the right opportunities. While others were afraid of global instability and stopped, we pressed forward. We did not ignore the risks, but we stayed true to our strategic direction.
The first lesson of economics still stands: everything is cyclical. After periods of stagnation and consumption decline, periods of growth inevitably follow. We have invested to be prepared for the next growth cycle. Looking back, I can say with certainty: we did what needed to be done. We chose to act, not just to promise – and that is why today we are bigger, stronger, and better positioned than many others who hesitated. In just five years (2019-2024), our turnover has grown more than 2.5 times, and we are getting closer to the record turnover we achieved when we sold the steel division to the global leader.
In 2025, we enter a new phase: consolidation and efficiency. We are shifting from accelerated expansion to maximizing profitability, capitalizing on the synergies of our acquisitions, and increasing our market share. We have already taken steps to optimize costs and adapt our management structure. Our goal is ambitious yet realistic: reaching 1 billion lei in turnover and returning to profitability. This way we will show our appreciation to our shareholders who trusted the journey – understanding that massive investments might affect shortterm profitability, but will bring much greater rewards over the longer term than if we had allowed fear or uncertainty to slow us down.
Another important strategic step, completed at the beginning of 2025, is the acquisition of Aquatica Experience Group (A.E.G.), an integrator of digital water management solutions. TeraPlast already has a complete portfolio of products for water infrastructure, and A.E.G. adds a digital component – from consumption monitoring to leakage reduction. In a world where natural resources are increasingly precious, we provide concrete, efficient, and sustainable solutions for our partners and society.
A solid strategy always rests on people – they are the heart of a business. TeraPlast Group has more than 1,200 colleagues who work every day to make this project a success. We know that well-prepared people are essential to efficiently implement our vision and strategy, and that's how we remain strong and relevant even in a constantly changing global context. Thus, we ensure that our teams benefit from the best working conditions and professional development opportunities. For us, education and care for new generations are not just principles – they are part of the responsibility to build a future here, in Romania. We want the children of our employees to grow up seeing strong examples at home and knowing that they can build a future right here, without needing to leave the country for school or work.
Thank you for your trust and support. Together, we continue on this path of growth and development. We will keep investing, innovating, and creating value together.
| Bistrița | Sincerely, |

TeraPlast Group is the largest polymer processor in South-Eastern Europe, with a total production capacity of over 200 thousand tons.
TeraPlast SA, the parent company of the Group, has been listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange since July 2, 2008, under the symbol TRP. In 2024, the Group structure included the following companies: TeraPlast SA, TeraPlast Recycling SA, TeraGlass Bistrița SRL, TeraBio Pack SRL, Somplast SA, the Wolfgang Freiler Group companies, Optiplast, Palplast, TeraPlast Magyarország Kft, TeraGreen Compound SRL and TeraVerde Carbon SRL. The Group structure and related holdings are graphically represented alongside.
During 2024, the main changes in the structure of the TeraPlast Group were:
Information about these acquisitions is available in section 1.4. Important events in 2024.



To these the following have been added since the end of 2024:
The Group's own distribution activity includes 6 warehouses in Romania and 1 warehouse in Hungary, as follows:
The warehouses are used by TeraPlast SA for the distribution of Installation products.
Part of the Wolfgang Freiler Group is the Austrian company Wolfgang Freiler GmbH, which carries out distribution activities for Polytech products.
Within TeraPlast Group there are 15 factories, as follows:


Within the TeraPlast Group, we primarily address the construction market through the installation and windows and doors segments, the manufacturing industry through the granules segment, the PVC processors market through rigid PVC recycling, and the flexible packaging market through our portfolio of polyethylene and biodegradable films.
The clients of the Installations and Windows and Doors business lines include contractors, distributors, and DIY stores. For the Granules business, the clients are manufacturers whose raw material is PVC granules, specifically PVC processors through extrusion and injection processes, as well as for the Rigid PVC Recycling business. For the Flexible Packaging segment, the client base consists of large retail chains, distributors, and industrial companies that use films and sheets for packaging goods. Additionally, specialized manufacturers from various market sectors (e.g., components for agricultural machinery) use custom-injected products manufactured by Pro-Moulding.
The commercial activity of our Group's segments follows a B2B (business-to-business) business model.
The client base of each company within the group, as well as the supplier base, is governed by the principle of diversification, so that dependency on a single client or supplier is reduced. Within the TeraPlast Group, there is no significant exposure that would create substantial dependencies on our businesses on a single client or a group of clients whose loss would negatively impact our revenues.
TeraPlast is the leader in the granules and installations market in Romania, TeraPlast Recycling is the largest producer of micronized recycled PVC in Europe, and TeraBio Pack has reached the top 5 producers in the Romanian market.


The portfolio of complete PVC, PP, and PE systems for installations, along with a variety of accessories and fittings, offers our clients diversity, durability, and quality at the highest standards. The installations portfolio includes systems for:




The Wolfgang Freiler Group consists of 5 companies (for details, see section 1.1. Presentation of the Group), two of which carry out production activities in Hungary, as follows:


✓ Palplast Moldova is a producer of polyethylene pipes for water and gas supply networks, with the factory located in the center of the Republic of Moldova, in the municipality of Călărași, just 50 kilometers from the capital, Chișinău.
TeraPlast is the largest producer of PVC granules in Romania, and our granules portfolio includes the following types of products:

TeraPlast Recycling collects and recycles rigid post-industrial and post-consumer PVC from Romania and other European Union countries. In Romania, we are the largest recycler of rigid PVC, and in Europe, we rank among the top 5 rigid PVC recyclers, with a processing capacity of up to 31,000 tons per year. We ensure the mechanical recycling of post-industrial and post-consumer PVC waste, sourced from a variety of materials such as window profiles, pipes, fittings, blinds, wall panels, windowsills, and cable ducts. TeraPlast Recycling's product portfolio includes:

Through periodic testing at authorized laboratories, we ensure that our products comply with the latest European regulations on lead and its compounds in PVC. Both the micronized PVC and the recycled granules can be used in a wide range of finished products, from profiles and strips for various indoor and outdoor building applications, to platforms and terraces, multilayer pipes, and accessories for the transport of rainwater and wastewater.

The Opal factory, part of the TeraPlast Group, specializes in the production of stretch film in Romania, and is equipped with modern machinery that supports an efficient and sustainable production flow. OPAL is the only manufacturer of 9-layer stretch films in the country. The company stands out for its flexibility in product customization, offering solutions tailored to various industrial requirements. Opal's stretch films are adaptable, 100% recyclable, and designed to reduce packaging costs while maximizing the safety of goods.
The product range includes Opal Plus, Opal Strong, and Opal Ultra, each with specific features for strength and packaging efficiency, optimized to protect and stabilize products during transportation.
TeraGlass has 20 years of experience (initially as part of TeraPlast SA, later as a subsidiary) in the production of windows and doors and successfully operates both in the Romanian market and in other European markets . The TeraGlass product portfolio includes the following types of products :
TeraGlass provides professional installation services carefully planned across three sealing layers between exterior doors or windows and masonry : the outer layer for weatherproofing, the middle layer for thermal and sound insulation, and the inner layer as a vapor barrier .

The flexible packaging product portfolio targets the packaging market in Romania and the European Union, in countries such as Austria, Germany, France, Belgium, Poland, and others. In 2022, at TeraBio Pack, we implemented and certified the FSSC 22000 food safety management system, through the "Food Packaging" certification scheme consisting of ISO 22000 and ISO/TS 22002-4, as well as the additional FSSC 22000 requirements.
The product portfolio is structured into two divisions:



| Installations | Granules | Packaging | Windows |
|---|---|---|---|
| TeraPlast installations | TeraPlast granules | TeraBio Pack flexible packaging | TeraGlass Bistrița windows and doors |
| TeraPlast Recycling micronized recycled PVC | TeraPlast Recycling regranulated recycled PVC |

For 2025, TeraPlast Group does not plan to manufacture any new products that would require a significant allocation of assets and/or capital.
TeraPlast and Palplast have their own accredited testing laboratories, where they conduct tests both on their own products and on products from other companies within the TeraPlast Group. For any additional tests, they rely on other accredited third-party laboratories. The expenses incurred in 2024 by the two laboratories amounted to 1,514,480 lei, and for 2025, they estimate expenses of over 1.5 million lei. These include potential research and development projects.

As of December 31, 2024, TeraPlast Group had 1,214 employees (head-count). Of these, 965 are based in Romania, 131 in Hungary and Austria, 29 in Moldova, and 89 in Croatia. Employees in Romania are fully covered by the collective labor agreement and are represented by a union. For the Group's companies outside Romania, the presence of a union is not mandatory under local regulations due to company size. Therefore, no employee representative committee or union has been established so far.
In our vision, continuous professional training contributes both to the development of our employees and to the company's performance. Therefore, we acknowledge the training needs at company level within the Group and develop customized training programs.
Furthermore, we support and promote professional relationships based on solid principles of ethics and integrity. In this regard, the Code of Conduct consolidates and clearly outlines our expectations regarding these topics. In accordance with the whistleblower policy, both external individuals and our employees can safely report situations that violate the applicable legal provisions, principles of ethics and integrity, human or labor rights, discrimination, or harassment.


2024 marked the completion, for the time being, of the accelerated expansion phase of TeraPlast Group carried out in recent years, achieved both through mergers and acquisitions and through investments in new production capacities.
Below, we highlight the most important events of 2024.
In January 2024, the closing was signed for the acquisition of Palplast Moldova, following the fulfillment of all preconditions. Thus, TeraPlast SA acquired the majority stake in Palplast, holding 51% of the share capital, while the existing shareholder, Fribourg Capital, retained a 49% stake. The total value of the transaction amounted to 1.8 million euros, of which 1 million euros was TeraPlast SA's contribution to Palplast's capital, and 800 thousand euros were paid to the minority shareholder.
The complete published information is available here and here.
At the beginning of February, we announced the signing of the agreement to acquire the shares held by the Uhl family in the Wolfgang Freiler Group (full announcement here). TeraPlast shareholders approved the acquisition, valued at a total of 16.53 million euros, during the Extraordinary General Meeting on March 11, 2024. The transaction was closed on March 28, 2024, marking the moment when TeraPlast SA took control of the Wolfgang Freiler Group (full press release here).
In October 2024, TeraPlast SA signed the agreement to acquire 70% of the share capital of Optiplast, the third-largest flexible packaging producer in Croatia. Optiplast is a company similar to TeraBio Pack in terms of product range and technology, with 35 years of experience in the flexible packaging market. The transaction was approved within the TeraPlast General Meeting of Shareholders on November 14, 2024. The total value of the transaction was 10.1 million euros, and it was finalized on November 20, 2024. Full details here.

We concluded 2024 with the announcement of the acquisition by Polytech Kft, a subsidiary of the Wolfgang Freiler Group, of the assets for PVC and PE systems production, from Wavin Hungary, the latter being part of the Orbia Group. The transaction value amounted to 7.04 million euros and includes both equipment and nearly 12,000 sqm of buildings, as well as over 40,000 sqm of industrial land located in Zsámbék, 30 km west of Budapest. The full announcement can be consulted here.
The Opal stretch film factory is the result of an investment worth 18.5 million euros, of which 5.3 million euros is state aid. After starting production in December 2023, in 2024 we presented the production unit to the partners of the Opal business during an event attended also by representatives of the central public administration. The Opal factory addresses a market of approximately 30,000 tons annually, estimated at a value of 34 million euros, of which 51% represents imports.

Following the completion of the 2024 financial year, we highlight below the relevant events concerning the activity of our Group.
In line with TeraPlast Group's ongoing regional development and the need for a greater diversity of expertise in strategic decision-making, we submitted to the approval of the General Meeting of the Shareholders an increase in the number of board members from 5 to 7 members. The term of office of the new board members started on December 27, 2024, and will end on September 14, 2027, the date when the current terms of the board members expire. The full GMS resolution can be consulted here.
In January 2025, the Board of Directors decided to establish the Risk & ESG Committee. This decision comes in the context of the development of legislative provisions regarding sustainability reporting, as well as the increasing complexity of our Group's structure and businesses, including in terms of geographic footprint. Thus, we strengthened the governance structure to ensure effective oversight of the Group's risk management process, as well as the integration of sustainability principles into our strategy. The full announcement is available here.
In February 2025, TeraPlast signed an agreement to acquire a majority stake of 51% in Aquatica Experience Group (AEG), an integrated engineering player that provides solutions for water treatment, purification, and management, including digital components. With this strategic move, we are expanding our portfolio and taking an important step in transitioning from a manufacturer of solutions for transporting clean water and wastewater to a full-service provider of integrated water management solutions. The transfer will become effective upon fulfilment of the precedent conditions and obtaining the necessary approvals. The full announcement is available here.

For the full year 2024, on a consolidated basis, we recorded a turnover of 897.9 million lei, 34% higher than in 2023, when the consolidated turnover was 672.3 million lei. This evolution was supported by the increase in volumes sold, the launch of the Opal stretch film factory, and the consolidation of results from companies acquired in 2024.
EBITDA slightly decreased compared to 2023, down to 49.6 million lei. This reflects both the strategy to increase market share, as well as the impact of price pressures and contraction in certain European markets. Thus, in the context of the disproportionate evolution of turnover and profitability, the EBITDA margin for the entire year 2024 stands at 5.5%, compared to 7.6% in 2023.
At the same time, for 2024 we recorded a net loss of -19.5 million lei, primarily due to the increase in interest expenses and due to depreciation costs resulting from starting up the investments in new factories. The negative result was mainly driven by the loss incurred from the launch of the Opal stretch film business, which is in an accelerated ramp-up process and market share gain. An additional contribution came from the loss recorded by TeraBio Pack, along with non-recurring expenses throughout 2024 related to geographical expansion.
Gross margin increased by 31%, rising from 247.4 million lei in 2023 to 323 million lei in 2024. This reflects the impact of acquisitions made in 2024, but was eroded by the rise in salary, energy, and transportation costs.
Sales outside Romania increased by 122%, reaching 233.6 million lei in 2024, compared to 105.4 million lei in 2023. Their share in the consolidated turnover reached 26% in 2024, compared to 15.7% in the previous year.
Quantitatively, we recorded a 46% increase compared to 2023 at Group level. In 2024, we sold 109,985 tons compared to 75,346 tons in 2023. This growth is mainly due to the increase in quantities of the Installations, Granules, and Flexible Packaging segments, while 6% of the total volumes in 2024 were generated by M&A.

Regarding business segments, the Installations segment generated 71% of the Group's revenue and remains our core business. A significant increase was recorded by the Flexible Packaging segment thanks to the contribution of the Opal stretch film business. The Granules segment maintained its position as a market leader in Romania and contributed to the growth of sales outside Romania. At the same time, the strategy of repositioning the customer mix for the Windows segment showed its results.
For the Installations segment, the Romanian market remained stable, despite delays in the settlement of public works. In contrast, the Western European markets where the Wolfgang Freiler Group operates experienced contractions, which also generated price pressure and eroded profitability. Palplast Moldova benefited throughout the year from solid demand in the private residential sector and completed the expansion of storage capacities in Călărași.
The Granules segment's exports increased by 160%, as a result of aligning the segment with the strategy of expanding into European markets by strengthening partnerships with strategic customers. On the Romanian market, the segment maintained its position as a market leader.
For the Packaging segment, exports partially mitigated the impact of the contraction in sales of biodegradable packaging on the domestic market, caused by the macroeconomic context and the delay in implementing legislation for the transition to biodegradable packaging.
Last but not least, the Windows segment improved its performance, also due to the increased share of projects involving custom-sized windows compared to sales of standard windows in large retail stores.
The results of each business segment and its contribution to the Group's results can be consulted below, and detailed information about the 2024 results is available here.

2025 will be the consolidation year. After a phase of accelerated development, in 2025 we will focus on improving profitability, consolidating businesses, and expanding in existing markets.
Thus, for 2025 we aim for a turnover of 1 billion lei, an increase of 12% compared to 2024, and a quantitative growth of 9%, reaching almost 120 thousand tons. The growth in 2025 will be mainly driven by improved performance in the Packaging segment, through increased profitability and operational efficiency, and the consolidation of Optiplast Croatia. For the traditional segments, we budgeted moderate turnover growth ranging between 3% and 6%.
We also aim for a significant improvement in EBITDA, reaching 88 million lei (+77% compared to 2024), driven by operational optimization and synergies resulting from the integration of acquisitions. A notable contribution to the improvement of EBITDA is expected from the Packaging and Installations segments.

On the Bucharest Stock Exchange, TeraPlast shares are traded on the main market under the TRP symbol. Our company is part of the BET main index. Internationally, the TRP stock is also included in the FTSE Russell Global All Cap indices and in the MSCI Frontier IMI indices.
We uphold best practices in corporate governance to ensure transparency in TeraPlast's activities, so that all shareholders and potential investors have equal access to information about the company. We have a dedicated investor relations team whose contact details are publicly available, and the investor-dedicated website includes all relevant information regarding our activity as a listed company.
The main topics of interest for shareholders and investors are detailed in the dedicated policies, available on our website at https://investors.teraplast.ro/ under the Corporate Governance documents section. These include:
• The Remuneration Policy details the set of principles and criteria applicable in determining the remuneration of the TeraPlast Group's administrators and executive directors.
In February 2024, our company initiated the share buyback program under the conditions approved by the Resolution of the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders (EGMS) No. 1 of April 28, 2023. As a result, a total of 2,764,610 own shares were repurchased. These shares were granted free of charge to employees, management of the Group's companies, as well as to TeraPlast's directors and executives, in line with the Stock Option Plan included in the remuneration scheme.
In 2024, we did not distribute dividends. However, during the General Meeting of Shareholders held on June 27, 2024, TRP shareholders approved a share capital increase through cash contributions of up to 22,220,000 lei, by issuing a maximum of 222,200,000 new shares with a nominal value of 0.1 lei per share. As a result, TeraPlast's share capital increased from 217,900,035.80 lei to 240,120,035.80 lei. The capital increase process included a subscription phase through the exercise of pre-emptive rights by existing shareholders, followed by a private placement targeting institutional investors. The final subscription price was set at 0.45 lei per share, reflecting strong investor interest. The capital increase was fully subscribed, and the total amount raised through both phases exceeded 20 million EUR, thereby strengthening the financial resources required for our development plans.
Detailed information on the results of this process are available here.
We take pride in our tradition of over 125 years during which we have learned to adapt to any changes, consistently developing and improving our activities and products.

At TeraPlast Group, sustainability is an integral part of our business strategy, guiding how we assess and report on our environmental, social, and governance (ESG) impacts. This Sustainability Statement for 2024 has been prepared in accordance with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). Through this report, we provide a transparent, accurate, and comprehensive representation of our material sustainability-related impacts, risks, and opportunities identified through a double materiality assessment.
The scope of this report aligns with our financial consolidation framework, covering all subsidiaries under TeraPlast S.A. within our analysis to ensure that the group's sustainability performance is comprehensively represented. The result of the scoping analysis for this report regarding TeraPlast Group structure is represented below. As part of our scoping process, we have also reviewed all entities within the group to determine whether any subsidiaries are exempt from individual sustainability reporting obligations. As part of this process, we also revised all the entities within the Group to determine if any subsidiary is exempt from the individual sustainability reporting obligations. In accordance with Article 29a(3) of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), our subsidiaries are not required to prepare individual sustainability statements, as they are covered by this consolidated sustainability report. This report comprehensively discloses the Group's material impacts, risks, and opportunities, ensuring compliance with the directive's reporting obligations at the consolidated level.

For 2024, two subsidiaries have been excluded from the consolidated sustainability reporting scope. TeraVerde Carbon represents our initiative for contributing to reforestation, but did not carry out any operational activity in 2024. Optiplast is the company we acquired at the end of 2024; thus, it is consolidated within the financial statements for 1 month of last year. Regarding sustainability topics, as per our internal criteria, a subsidiary must be consolidated within the Group for at least one quarter, for it to be considered material for the scope of this reporting and for the data to be considered representative for the Group's approach to governance and strategy. Thus, Optiplast information will be included in the 2025 sustainability statement. For four other subsidiaries, namely Somplast, TeraGreen Compound, Itraco and Sörgyári Ipari Park, only partial data will be included in the present statement, based on the fact that neither carries out operational activities, thus only information on Scope 1&2 emissions and employees are available and relevant. This approach ensures full transparency and consistency in the disclosure of sustainability performance across the TeraPlast Group, while ensuring clarity and ease of use of sustainability-related information, reinforcing at the same time our commitment to ESG compliance and sustainability leadership.
Our value chain is considered in full within this report, encompassing both upstream and downstream activities. This includes an assessment of raw material sourcing, energy and resource consumption in production, product use impacts, and post-consumer waste management. Where data limitations exist, we apply industry benchmarks and estimations to provide the best possible representation of these impacts.
No disclosures have been omitted due to pending negotiations or regulatory approvals, nor due to intellectual property or innovation confidentiality.
Our sustainability reporting adheres to clear time horizons, which are the same as it is described in ESRS, defined below:
Short-Term (0-2 years)
Medium-Term (2-5 years)
Long-Term (5-10+ years)
Short to Medium-Term (0-5 years)
Medium to Long-Term (5-10 years)
These align with our corporate planning cycles and ensure consistency between sustainability targets and business strategies. In cases where sustainability-related metrics rely on indirectly estimated value chain data, we adopt a structured approach, using a combination of industry benchmarks, lifecycle assessment methodologies where available, and supplier data where available. Although some estimations introduce a degree of uncertainty, we apply conservative assumptions and continue to refine our data collection processes. Moreover, to ensure clarity and transparency, we state the assumptions used for all estimates included in reported data.
To enhance accuracy, we are actively improving our sustainability data collection and tracking systems and strengthening stakeholder engagement for primary data collection. These initiatives will allow us to progressively reduce reliance on estimated data and enhance the precision of our sustainability disclosures over time. Where measurement uncertainty exists, it is typically linked to supplier-reported variations, Scope 3 emissions calculations, and end-of-life product treatment. We acknowledge these uncertainties and apply consistent methodologies to ensure comparability across reporting periods.
In calculating our total resources inflows and outflows, certain estimations were necessary due to limitations in the directly available data. This information is included in the Environment chapter which includes reporting on ESRS E5.
For inflows, we estimated the weights of certain materials procured from smaller suppliers by referencing similar materials from our main suppliers. Where possible, we estimated the weights of certain goods based on their chemical and physical properties, such as chemical composition, density, or dimensions. For 12.3% of procured goods where quantitative data was unavailable – primarily due to the diversity of items and to non-weight-based procurement – we estimated a total weight between 2,500 and 10,000 tons. These estimations were based on average weights of specific procured goods in the parent company of the Group and were further scaled across the Group using procurement value proportions.
For outflows, only the Windows & Doors segment required estimation, where we used the weight of a standard window, and a standard door based on information from the production department.
To ensure consistency and reliability in our estimations, we applied a structured methodology across the Group, aligning our calculations with available procurement data. These estimations allow us to maintain transparency and accuracy in reporting, while working towards improving data collection processes.
Compared to the previous reporting cycle, no significant methodological changes have been introduced in our sustainability disclosures, other than the changes brought by the ESRS standards compared to previous reporting frameworks (e.g., GRI). This report for 2024 is the first report TeraPlast Group prepared in line with CSRD and ESRS provisions. However, we continue to refine data collection processes and estimation models, with any minor adjustments noted within the respective sections of this report. No material errors from previous reporting periods have been identified, and therefore, no restatements or corrections were necessary for information reported according to the CSRD.
In the reporting regarding the EU Taxonomy, the calculation of CapEx included the entries related to the right of use and the increases from real estate investments for 2023, totaling 14.8 million lei, which is reflected in the 2023 information presented in the CapEx table.
In addition to compliance with ESRS requirements, this report also aligns with the EU Taxonomy. These frameworks provide contextual alignment and enhance the comparability of our sustainability performance with industry peers. All references to applicable reporting standards are embedded within relevant sections of this document.
TeraPlast operates under a unitary management system, with the General Meeting of Shareholders (GMS) as the highest decision -making body . The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the company's strategic direction and management, appointing the executive team, and ensuring the implementation of corporate governance principles .
As of the end of 2024 , following the GMS decision on December 27 , the Board of Directors consists of 7 members, an increase from the previous 5 -member structure . This expansion aligns with TeraPlast's continued regional development and the need for a broader range of expertise in strategic decision -making .
Before the GMS decision on December 27 , 2024 , the Board of Directors consisted of 5 members, of which 1 executive and 4 non -executive members . At that time, 3 out of the 5 members were independent (60 %), while 4 out of 5 were non -executive, including the Chairman .
In the present structure, the Board includes 1 executive member, the CEO, and 6 non -executive members, including the Chairman, who does not hold an executive role . The Board also maintains a high level of independence, with 4 out of 7 members being independent (57 % ) . The updated composition enhances the Board's ability to provide diverse perspectives and informed decision -making in line with TeraPlast's regional expansion and business diversification strategy .
In terms of diversity, the Board consisted exclusively of male members throughout most of 2024 . However, following the structural updates at the end of the year, the current composition includes 1 woman and 6 men . This results in an average ratio of female to male board members of approximately 0 .167 . This ratio reflects the company's efforts to enhance gender diversity, transitioning from an all -male board throughout most of 2024 to now include one female member . There are no employee representatives on the Board, with employee -related matters being managed directly by the CEO in ongoing negotiations with the Union, acting as the liaison between employees and the Board .

We actively integrate sustainability oversight within our governance framework. Our executive management team, alongside the board, plays a crucial role in monitoring sustainability-related risks and opportunities. Reporting lines between the management team and the board are well-defined, ensuring that sustainability considerations are embedded in corporate decision-making. The board regularly receives updates on sustainability topics, and the effectiveness of our related strategies. These updates help shape our sustainability policies and align them with long-term business goals.
At TeraPlast, we integrate sustainability-related targets into our incentive structures, ensuring that ESG commitments are reflected in executive performance evaluations. Sustainability-related KPIs are included in the Remuneration Policy as well, under the variable remuneration in both STIP (short-term incentives) and LTIP (long-term incentives). The KPIs related to circular economy practices are integrated into our incentive schemes in the variable short-term component. More precisely, the relative consumption of recycled and biodegradable material in total production is part of the third KPI related to sustainability, which weighs 30% of the total STIP. Initiatives and measures that contribute to the transition towards a circular economy can also fall under the LTIP component of the remuneration, respectively the evolution of carbon emissions intensity objective, since using recycled materials can contribute to reducing waste and the carbon footprint.
Within the long-term incentives, there are three criteria for assessing performance, one of them being the evolution of the carbon emissions' intensity. All three criteria have the same weight in the calculation of LTIP performance assessment. As part of the LTIP remuneration, the performance is awarded through the stock option plan program, which implies an analysis of the performance for the last three years. The number of shares awarded is established as a percentage of the fixed remuneration. Given there are no specific long-term targets set for carbon emissions' intensity, this
criterion is monitored as a year-on-year evolution. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee is responsible for the details on awarding conditions. In 2024, no LTIP variable remuneration was awarded.
The provisions of the remuneration policy are applicable to the members of the Board of Directors and the Executive Directors. Executive Directors are responsible for overseeing the proper management and delegation of actions needed to achieve the objectives of the remuneration policy.
The Remuneration policy is updated whenever needed, approved by the CEO, then submitted to the Board's approval before being subject to the approval of the General Meeting of the Shareholders. Complete information on remuneration are available in the Remuneration Policy publicly available on our website at this link. The Remuneration Report is as well available on our website at this link.

Identification, assessment and proper management of risks and opportunities within the TeraPlast Group is essential to ensure business continuity and sustainable development of the Group in the short-, medium-, and long-term, and allows us to have an overall view of the existing risks and impacts in all the fields of activity of the Group, as well as an overall view of the identified opportunities.
Within the TeraPlast Group, we manage several types of risks, and upon their assessment, we draft plans of action to address those risks that can have the greatest impact on our employees, the environment, the processes, as well as on the business itself, but we also define actions to address the various opportunities.

The performance of procedures and policies of the integrated quality – environment – health and safety at work management systems are assessed by internal audits, which also include a risk management component. The executive management is responsible for overseeing the proper implementation of risk management measures. Results of these monitoring activities are reported to the executive management and, as the case might be, these results are discussed with the Board of Directors too. Moreover, they actively participate in overseeing the management and integration of material sustainability impacts, risks, and opportunities based on materiality analysis, within our operational framework. They also ensure that sustainability considerations are taken into account into strategic decision-making processes, supporting long-term value creation and corporate responsibility.
Our risk management framework integrates sustainability risk assessments into overall corporate governance. We conduct periodic evaluations of risks, ensuring that any challenges and opportunities are identified early and addressed through strategic planning and operational adjustments. This process is part of the annual management analysis. The Executive Director, Mr. Alexandru Stânean, who also serves as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of TeraPlast, directly oversees the Investor Relations & Sustainability Department and is actively involved in the annual management review process. This process covers critical areas such as risk management, environmental performance, workforce strategy, and research and development activities.
The Integrated Management System Department is responsible for risk management, conducting internal audits that assess compliance with risk mitigation measures and ensuring that all relevant risks and opportunities are considered in the analysis. Periodic ISO recertification audits further validate the effectiveness of these processes.
Additionally, members of the Sustainability Department hold International Sustainable Business Advisor (ISB Advisor) certifications from IASE, reinforcing their expertise in sustainable business practices. The department ensures compliance with regulatory sustainability reporting requirements, implementing internal data verification processes to maintain reporting accuracy and alignment with applicable standards.
At group level, we have formal policies governing key ESG topics, including environmental protection, occupational health and safety, ethics and integrity, and recruitment practices. These policies outline our commitments and expectations for employees and partners, as detailed in the Company Code of Conduct and Supplier Code of Conduct (available here).
Additionally, we operate under an Integrated Quality – Environment – Health and Safety at Work Management System, compliant with the ISO 9001, 14001, 45001 and 50001 standards for the companies that operate in Romania (ISO 50001 for TeraPlast SA only). Through this, we ensure relevant and comprehensive information is included in our operational framework.
As stated above, we conduct a management analysis on an annual basis, where we assess the achievement of objectives set from the perspective of both financial and non-financial indicators, as well as the management of existing and potential risks. Within the internal audit, we evaluate the performance of company procedures and policies. These activities also encompass performance indicators related to issues that are material from the perspective of sustainable development.
Regarding sustainability reporting, we have established robust mechanisms to ensure the accuracy and reliability of this process. We report our sustainabilityrelated data annually, adhering to internationally recognized frameworks. This commitment ensures that our reporting remains consistent, transparent, and aligned with global standards.
The data collection process is managed by a dedicated team that collaborates with individuals responsible for specific areas within the group. Each department manager is accountable for the accuracy and completeness of the data they provide. To ensure the integrity of our data, the sustainability reporting team verifies it using various sources, such as SAP, production reports, and regular reports submitted to authorities, as the case may be. Additionally, we compare the data with previous reporting years to maintain consistency.
Once verified, the data is centralized and integrated into the sustainability report, which is then acknowledged and approved by the executive management before being sent to the board of directors for their information. Starting in 2025, we have established a Risk & ESG Committee to better manage risk and sustainability reporting in the context of our new group structure. This committee is responsible for overseeing the implementation of risk management strategies and ensuring the integrity of our sustainability reporting.
For the year 2024, we have reconciled our sustainability data with financial statements whenever possible and carried out an external assurance process. This additional layer of verification enhances the credibility of our sustainability reporting. More detailed information on the governance of impacts, risks and opportunities are available within the chapters dedicated to the environment and people in this report.

Our mission is to provide efficient solutions for people and the environment.
In our vision, plastics ensure the comfort of modern life as we know it, and the efficient management of their potential impact on the environment and society means responsible consumption and responsible management of plastic products at the end of their life cycle.
It is our responsibility to provide solutions, contributing to the substitution of plastics in general, and in particular of those with a short life cycle, with sustainable alternatives wherever possible. Additionally, we contribute to the responsible management of plastic waste and the responsible consumption of resources, with equity and integrity being fundamental elements in our vision for sustainable development.
Given this approach, at the level of the TeraPlast Group, 4 major directions of action are highlighted:

These directions outline how sustainable development is integrated into our businesses every day and how our mission to provide effective solutions for people and the environment translates into strategic actions in the medium and long term.
Our products largely address water management. The Installations division provides fresh water (drinking water supply, irrigation water from both underground and above-ground sources), wastewater and rainwater management solutions. By adhering to the highest quality standards, ensuring durability and technical properties, our products contribute to the transportation and distribution of clean, uncontaminated water, to the safe transportation of wastewater and to the durability of the infrastructure for healthy cities and modern agriculture.
We contribute to the circular economy and efficient waste management through the activity of the rigid PVC recycling factory and the integration of recycled material into finished products for outdoor sewers. We also use recycled materials from third parties in our products, where we do not have our own recycling capabilities. We have ecological alternatives in our portfolio where possible, such as biodegradable and compostable packaging which are OK Compost certified according to EN 13432 standard.
Through the nature of our production processes, the largest share of our resource consumption is electricity. As a result, we have invested in a photovoltaic plant and in 2024 we built a new one, to increase our share of renewable energy in the total consumption. Also, the electricity supplier provides us with guarantees of origin for the electricity purchased, and they cover 100% of the energy purchased by TeraPlast SA.
From a continuous development perspective, the expansion of our businesses has a direct impact in local communities through job creation, the well-being of our employees and through involvement in local projects and initiatives.
Last but not least, the size of the TeraPlast Group and the vision we have for our development require the existence of a robust corporate governance framework, which formalizes and addresses topics such as risk management, ethics and integrity and transparency. During 2025-2026 we will work on developing a sustainability strategy. The information above will be part of the starting elements based on which we will begin the analysis and set the objectives of the sustainability strategy.
We believe that being aware of stakeholders' concerns and having their views in mind in our strategic planning is paramount for our businesses' healthy development.
Within TeraPlast Group, stakeholder engagement has two dimensions:
TeraPlast Group's main stakeholder groups include employees, Board of Directors, shareholders and investors in the capital market, clients, suppliers, public institutions, financiers (e.g., banks), press, NGOs and local community. These stakeholder groups were identified starting from our value chain and previous stakeholder identification processes for previous reports, to ensure no critical stakeholders were excluded.
Within our materiality assessment we have assessed these stakeholder categories to identify the key groups based on two variables: interest in the organization and influence on the organization. Moreover, we have mapped our stakeholders using two additional criteria, namely whether they are users of the sustainability statements or represent affected stakeholders. To have a granular view in further engagement, we even split some of the categories by other relevant sub-groups. Thus, we differentiate employees from top management and executive management, and shareholders from investors in the market that can be interested in our shares.
A brief representation of the outcome can be consulted below. For all the stakeholder groups below, engagement was carried out within the double materiality assessment through structured consultations of internal and external experts, relevant for the identified stakeholder categories.
| Stakeholder Group | Stakeholder Category | Value Chain Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Employees | Affected stakeholder | Core |
| Top management | Both | Core |
| Executive Management | Both | Core |
| Board of Directors | Both | Core |
| Clients | Both | Downstream |
| Shareholders | Both | All |
| Investors interested in TeraPlast shares | Users of sustainability statements | All |
| Financiers | Both | Core |
| Suppliers | Both | Upstream |
| Public institutions | Users of sustainability statements | Other |
| Local community | Both | Core |
In evaluating the impacts, risks, and opportunities derived from our business model, we obtained relevant feedback from these stakeholders. Their views are closely linked to our business strategy, and we take their feedback into account during our due diligence and materiality assessment processes. This approach ensures that our understanding of the interests and views of our key stakeholders is integrated into our strategy and business model.
At TeraPlast Group, we actively incorporate the interests and views of our own workforce and workers' representatives into our strategy and business model. This is achieved mainly through regular consultations, feedback sessions, and formal and informal engagements with trade unions. We ensure that employee perspectives are integrated into decision-making processes, particularly concerning employee satisfaction, safe working environments, job security, and job satisfaction. The CEO and Human Resource Director oversee these engagement processes, ensuring compliance with consultation requirements and integrating employee feedback into strategies. At the same time, specific KPIs are monitored yearly within the management analysis, such as employee turnover rate, wages, work accidents and effectiveness of health and safety provisions.
Our mission is to offer efficient solutions for people and the environment. This reflects most in our actions in relation to customers and end-users. We acknowledge the importance of taking into account and integrating whenever possible the views and interests of our customers into our business strategy. Most of our activity regarding the product portfolio and customers' requests are regulated by product and industry standards. In addition to product standards and certifications, we also pay attention to aspects of our relationship with customers beyond these standards. For example, quality. We have various tools, from dedicated complaint channels to customer satisfaction surveys for the parent company, and even a whistleblower system for related issues concerning our relationship with them (e.g., corruption, discrimination, harassment, conflicts of interest, human rights, private data, legal violations, etc.). Our aim is to have healthy and fair relationships with our customers and offer seamless experience in using our products for the end users. In line with our B2B business model we collect feedback from our customers, which can also include information on our products' performance and ease of use. The information obtained informs our sales department and our management in establishing the strategy and identifying improvement areas.

At TeraPlast, we have developed a structured approach to identifying, assessing, prioritizing, and monitoring risks and opportunities, ensuring a thorough and objective evaluation process. Our methodology integrates qualitative and quantitative analyses, incorporating stakeholder insights gathered from structured workshops and consultations. This approach ensures that sustainability matters most material to our business operations and stakeholders are comprehensively addressed.
From a financial perspective, sustainability-related risks and opportunities influence cost structures, revenue streams, and long-term business resilience. The company continuously evaluates these impacts, ensuring its business model remains adaptable to regulatory changes, technological advancements, and evolving market demands. A dedicated detailed analysis of present and anticipated financial effects and business model resilience in relation to each material topic has not been carried out. However, we do not anticipate significant risk of financial impact originating from the material risks and opportunities at the moment and intend to take the first steps in increasing the granularity of resilience and risk management evaluations we currently have in place.
Our Double Materiality Assessment (DMA) was conducted in accordance with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). The methodology followed EFRAG's IG 1 Materiality Assessment framework and was structured into four key phases:
• Identification of IROs (impacts, risks, and opportunities) – We performed a context analysis across the entire value chain, benchmarking against industry standards and regulatory expectations, as well as an internal assessment of IROs. These looked into both impact materiality and financial materiality.
After the DMA assessment we concluded that the ESRS Topics are material for TeraPlast Group are E1 – Climate change, E5 – Resource use and circular economy, S1 – Own workforce, S4 – Consumers and end-users and G1 – Business conduct. Detailed information on each ESRS topic, by impacts and risks & opportunities are detailed below within this section. When determining the data to address the information requested within reporting, we considered the significance of the information to stakeholders and its relevance to our business model and strategy. Where certain sustainability data points are not yet available, we explicitly state the reasons and provide timeframes for future disclosure.
Our assessment considers business relationships, specific activities, and geographies that pose heightened exposure. The process ensures that both direct and indirect impacts are accounted for, capturing the full spectrum of financial, social, and environmental implications. By engaging external experts and affected stakeholders, we gain a deeper understanding of the broader implications of sustainability-related risks and opportunities.
Our prioritization model ranks negative and positive impacts based on their severity, scope, likelihood, and irremediability. This structured evaluation enables us to determine the most pressing sustainability matters requiring proactive management.
The impact materiality was conducted using scientific studies, industry benchmarks, and internal expertise. Each impact was mapped based on its effect across the value chain:
A time horizon assessment was conducted to determine when specific impacts are applicable. The materiality of each impact was evaluated through stakeholder consultation, which assessed severity and likelihood based on three key dimensions:
We assessed both actual and potential impacts, ensuring that sustainability-related risks are considered alongside broader business risks. This integration with TeraPlast's corporate risk management framework ensures that sustainability considerations are embedded into strategic planning and investment decisions.

We identify risks and opportunities based on both direct sustainability impacts and business dependencies. Sustainability risks are assessed in relation to:
Financial materiality is determined through:
Sustainability-related risks are integrated into our broader corporate risk management framework, ensuring alignment between financial, operational, and strategic decisionmaking. Recent refinements to our risk assessment methodology reflect an increased emphasis on scenario analysis, stress testing, and regulatory alignment.

In identifying climate-related impacts, risks and opportunities, besides the materiality assessment where we consulted key stakeholders, we informed our IROs using the internal risk management instruments within the Integrated Management System and the evaluation conducted in 2023, guided by the TCFD (Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures) recommendations, ensuring that our approach aligns with internationally recognized best practices.
Even though the assessment targeted the structure of TeraPlast Group in 2022, we consider it relevant to mention within this report as well. The structure of the Group in 2022 did not include the operations in Republic of Moldova (Palplast company), Hungary and Austria (Wolfgang Freiler Group), Croatia (Optiplast company) and the distribution center in Hungary (TeraPlast Magyarország company), since these companies were acquired, or founded in the case of the distribution center in Hungary, in the following 3 years. In terms of other production facilities, the assessment did not include the new polyethylene factory and the stretch film factory, as these were commissioned after the assessment was carried out. Within the integration process for these new subsidiaries, climate-related risks and opportunities will be included in the broader risk management process and within the future assessment guided by TCFD, the current structure of the Group will be analyzed.
The assessment guided by TCFD recommendations in 2023 identified two major categories of climate-related risks: physical risks and transition risks. Considering the specifics of the business model, physical risks are not relevant in our upstream and downstream vale chain, which was solely assessed for transitional risks.
In evaluating these risks and opportunities, we employed climate scenario modeling to forecast potential business impacts under different climate pathways, including Net Zero (1.5°C), Nationally Determined Contributions (2.6°C), and Current Policies (>3°C). By informing our strategic decisions with these projections, we ensure that our business remains adaptable and future-ready in a rapidly changing climate and regulatory landscape.
Physical risks include acute and chronic climate impacts that could affect our operations and supply chain. Rising temperatures may lead to increased cooling costs and reduced employee productivity, while more frequent and intense heatwaves pose a significant challenge in the medium term. Additionally, the potential for strong winds and extreme weather events could disrupt logistics, damage infrastructure, and affect material storage, but resulted as a medium risk on the long term. Other physical risks, such as flooding, for example, represent low risks on all time horizons, but remain a consideration in our long-term planning to ensure we keep ourselves well informed.
Transition risks stem from the evolving regulatory, market, and societal landscape. As EU policies on carbon emissions and sustainable materials, including in packaging, become more stringent, TeraPlast Group anticipates increased costs associated with compliance, procurement, and sustainable product certification. The evolution of the regulations on restrictions on virgin raw materials on one hand, and restrictions on secondary raw materials chemical structure on the other hand, present both a challenge and an opportunity for our business transformation, but depending on their evolution, they might have a material impact on our businesses on the medium and long term.
These risks were included in the materiality assessment conducted for this report, but none of them came out as material for our businesses in 2024. For example, increasing temperatures and heatwaves present a minor financial impact, as the operations are mainly indoors. However, future investments in cooling solutions may be required to ensure employee safety and minimize disruptions. Regarding the evolution of regulations, although they might pose medium financial impact due to potential costs for compliance, material changes, and disposal of existing packaging, the current monitoring efforts mitigate immediate risks. The only material risk for the reporting period represents the limited market penetration of sustainable products.
TeraPlast follows Appendix A of the ESRS and Appendix E of EFRAG's guidance to ensure that material sustainability matters are fully mapped to their respective topical ESRS disclosures. A detailed index of disclosure requirements and their locations in the sustainability statement is provided in Annex I. Additionally, Annex II contains a reference table mapping data points derived from EU legislation.
Among the phased-in disclosure requirements, according to Appendix C, we have chosen to report only information from ESRS S1, specifically those related to S1-7 "Characteristics of non-employee workers in the undertaking's own workforce", S1-11 "Social protection," and S1-13 "Training and skills development".
At TeraPlast Group, we are committed to ensuring that each material sustainability matter is managed through clear and structured policies that guide our decision-making. For every material topic, we will disclose our policies, explaining their objectives, how they help us address sustainability-related risks and opportunities, and how they fit into our broader business strategy. We will define which parts of our operations, value chain, and geographic areas these policies apply to and any exclusions that may exist.
Responsibility for policy implementation and oversight will also be disclosed, ensuring transparency on who within TeraPlast Group is accountable for their execution. Where relevant, we will explain how our policies align with international sustainability standards, industry best practices, and regulatory frameworks, reinforcing our commitment to continuous improvement.
Additionally, we recognize that stakeholder engagement is essential in shaping our approach, and we will describe how their feedback and expectations are considered in policy development and execution. Furthermore, we want to ensure that our policies are accessible to those they impact, so we will outline how they are communicated and shared with employees, suppliers, investors, and other relevant stakeholders.
If we do not yet have a policy in place for a specific material sustainability matter, we will disclose this, along with our plans and timelines for developing it, where available, ensuring that all stakeholders understand how we are working toward strengthening our governance framework.
We take a proactive approach to addressing sustainability risks and opportunities. For each material topic, we will provide a detailed overview of the actions we have taken, as well as our plans for future initiatives that align with our long-term sustainability strategy.
Every action we disclose will be linked to the relevant material impact, risk, or opportunity, ensuring a clear connection between our sustainability efforts and business priorities. For each action where information is available, we will outline expected outcomes and objectives, demonstrating how it contributes to improving environmental performance, social responsibility, or governance practices. Where applicable, we will also include remediation actions taken to address negative impacts and any corrective measures implemented.
To provide transparency on how we allocate resources, we will disclose the financial investments made toward sustainability initiatives, covering both capital expenditures (CapEx) and operational expenditures (OpEx) in line with the EU Taxonomy.
For material sustainability matters where actions have not yet been implemented, we will acknowledge this and disclose our plans, expected timeframes, and the next steps for integrating these initiatives into our strategy. Our goal is to provide a clear roadmap for stakeholders, ensuring accountability for future progress.
To track our progress effectively, we will disclose the metrics we use to measure the progress and/or success of our sustainability actions. These metrics will be aligned with industry standards and regulatory requirements, ensuring that our performance is evaluated consistently and transparently. Where necessary, we will also provide insights into our methodologies and data sources, ensuring credibility in our reporting.
For material topics where specific targets are available, we will present them to state our level of ambition and our expected impact over time. If we have not yet set targets for certain sustainability matters, we will explain the reasons why, as well as whether and when we plan to define them. In cases where target-setting is not applicable, we will provide a clear rationale for this decision.
Beyond setting targets, we will also describe our process for tracking progress, ensuring that we regularly assess and refine our approach based on performance data. This includes internal monitoring systems, external reporting mechanisms, and periodic reviews to ensure continuous improvement in sustainability performance. If a material topic currently lacks defined metrics or targets, we will disclose this transparently and outline our plans, timeframes, and strategies for implementing them in the future, ensuring that stakeholders are informed of our ongoing commitment to sustainability.
Regulation 2020/852 on the EU Taxonomy establishes a common classification system for determining activities that are environmentally sustainable by defining six environmental objectives that reflect the main challenges and priorities of the European Union regarding sustainability and combating climate change:
The European Union has issued delegated regulations to define the technical criteria and detailed requirements that must be met for an activity to be considered environmentally sustainable. Thus, through Delegated Regulation 2021/2139, as amended by Delegated Regulation 2023/1214 and Delegated Regulation 2024/2485, the criteria for the first two environmental objectives mentioned above are established, while Delegated Regulation 2024/2486 establishes the criteria for the other four environmental objectives.
Delegated Regulation 2021/2178, as amended by Delegated Regulation 2023/1214 and Delegated Regulation 2024/2486, establishes the method for presenting information regarding environmentally sustainable activities and the methodology for complying with the reporting obligation for this information.
According to Delegated Regulation 2021/2178, in the context of the EU Taxonomy, three types of activities can be distinguished:
The TeraPlast Group reports consolidated non-financial information in accordance with Article 29a of Directive 2013/34, providing details on the proportions of its activities that are eligible and non-eligible, as well as aligned and non-aligned, in accordance with the requirements of the EU Taxonomy and the aforementioned delegated regulations.
Compared to the previous report, new activities have been added to our Group's structure as a result of merger and acquisition (M&A) operations. The contribution of these activities to eligible activities is mentioned where applicable.
For the year 2024, no activities are reported as aligned, as no actions have been taken to align certain activities with the EU Taxonomy. Given that we will begin developing a transition plan, we will include potential alignment objectives in the broader sustainability strategy and the transition plan.
In accordance with the EU Taxonomy provisions, we have taken measures to avoid double-counting amounts related to reported activities by eliminating amounts related to transactions between the Group's companies. Additionally, we have carefully ensured that the reported activities contribute to only one environmental objective, without overlapping, meaning that no activity is reported as contributing to multiple environmental objectives.


For the calculation of turnover, the denominator includes the consolidated turnover of the TeraPlast Group from the financial statements published for the year 2024. The denominator for the turnover indicator is based on the net turnover recognized in the Financial Statements prepared in accordance with MFP Order no. 2844/2016 for the financial year ending on December 31st, 2024, based on the accounting policies presented in Note 2. "Accounting Policies – Revenue Recognition." The total turnover of 897,895,698 lei is reconciled with the Financial Statements prepared in accordance with MFP Order no. 2844/2016 for the financial year ending December 31st, 2024, Note 4 "Revenues and Operations".
The numerator includes the consolidated turnover for 2024 corresponding to each activity within the TeraPlast Group identified as eligible under the EU Taxonomy:
In 2024, the total consolidated turnover increased by 34% compared to 2023, from 672.3 million lei in 2023 to 897.9 million lei in 2024. The share of eligible turnover in the total turnover increased by 2.8 percentage points in 2024 compared to 2023, from 27% to 29%, respectively from 182.7 million lei in 2023 to 268.8 million lei in 2024.
The increase in eligible turnover is mainly due to the growth in turnover from the CE 1.1 activity within TeraPlast Recycling, through the Opal stretch film plant, which had a full year of operation in 2024. A growth in eligible turnover was also recorded due to the increase in turnover from the CCM 3.17 activity within TeraPlast. Another increase was noted in the WTR 1.1 activity within TeraPlast. Additionally, the inclusion of Optiplast in the financial statements as of December 2024 contributed to the growth of eligible turnover under the EU Taxonomy.
Turnover decreases were mainly recorded in the CCM 5.9 activity within TeraPlast Recycling, where market penetration for secondary raw materials obtained through waste recycling is limited. Slight decreases in turnover were also noted for the CE 1.1 activity within TeraBio Pack, the CCM 6.6 activity within TeraPlast, and the CCM 3.5 activity within TeraGlass.
For more information regarding TeraPlast Group's turnover, please refer to the financial statements.
Non-eligible activities – turnover related to all other activities of the Group, excluding those mentioned above.
For the calculation of capital expenditures, the denominator includes the total increase in the tangible and intangible assets of the TeraPlast Group, as reported in the consolidated financial statements for 2024. Additions have been recognized in the financial statements prepared in accordance with MFP Order no. 2844/2016 for the financial year ended December 31, 2024, based on the accounting policies presented in note 2, "Accounting Policies: Tangible Assets, Investment Property, and Intangible Assets". The numerator includes the increase in tangible assets related to each activity identified as eligible within the TeraPlast Group.
• • Installation, maintenance and repair of renewable energy technologies (CCM 7.6) – The CapEx includes investments in the new photovoltaic plant of TeraPlast, as well as investments in photovoltaic plants within the subsidiaries Pro-Moulding and Optiplast.
Non-eligible Activities – The CapEx for non-eligible activities includes increases recorded in the tangible assets of the Group, excluding those mentioned above, along with increases in intangible assets, which are entirely noneligible.
In 2024, total capital expenditures (CapEx) increased by 171% compared to CapEx in 2023, from 120.7 million lei in 2023 to 327.5 million lei in 2024. However, the proportion of eligible CapEx decreased in 2024 compared to 2023 by 34.5 percentage points, from 70.9% in 2023 to 36.4% in 2024. The increase in eligible capital expenditures was mainly driven by the acquisition of Optiplast in the CE 1.1 activity, and eligible CapEx for the CCM 7.6 activity. A significant increase in CCM 7.6 activity compared to the previous reporting period was recorded due to investments in TeraPlast's new photovoltaic plant, where construction began in 2024, leading to an increase in CapEx. Another increase in eligible CapEx was driven by the acquisition of the Freiler Group, also within the CCM 7.6 activity. After the investments made in 2023, especially in the flexible packaging business line, where these accounted for over 70% of the total eligible CapEx in 2023, in 2024, a decrease of over 90% was recorded in the CE 1.1 activity within both TeraPlast Recycling and TeraBio Pack, due to the completion of the investment plan. This was also accompanied by the CCM 6.5 activity with 7.8 million lei in 2024.
In 2024, decreases were recorded in all other eligible activities compared to the previous reporting period, especially for activities CCM 3.17, CCM 6.6, CCM 5.9, and CCM 7.6 within TeraPlast Recycling.
Of the total CapEx in 2024, 63.6% was non-eligible CapEx according to the EU Taxonomy, mainly due to the acquisitions of the Freiler Group and Palplast, which accounted for over 80% of the total non-eligible CapEx.
For more information, please refer to the financial statements.
For the calculation of operational expenses, the denominator includes the repair and maintenance costs of the TeraPlast Group, both those performed by third parties and those carried out by internal personnel, according to internal reports from the accounting records for 2024.
Operational expenses related to the OPEX indicator, analyzed for taxonomy purposes, are included in the amounts presented in the trial balance, under the following accounts: 6021 "Auxiliary materials expenses", 6024 "Spare parts expenses", 6028 "Other consumable materials expenses", 603 " Expenses related to materials in the form of small inventory", 611 "Repair expenses for buildings, equipment, machinery, and others", 612 "Rental expenses", 628 "Other expenses for services provided by third parties", as well as in the maintenance order databases.
The expenses related to the current maintenance of tangible assets include periodic inspections, replacement of worn-out parts, cleaning and disinfection materials, and maintenance services that are necessary to ensure the efficient operation of equipment and the maintenance of buildings.
The numerator includes the repair and maintenance expenses related to the production sector of the TeraPlast Group, according to the internal reports from 2024, broken down for each activity:
• Installation, maintenance and repair of renewable energy technologies (CCM 7.6) – Expenses include the costs related to the maintenance services of the existing photovoltaic park of TeraPlast.
Non-eligible activities – OpEx for all other activities, except those mentioned above.
The breakdown of values for each activity, including turnover, CapEx, and OpEx, is presented below.
Total operating expenses in 2024 increased by 38.8% compared to 2023, from 11.8 million lei in 2023 to 16.3 million lei in 2024, while the share of eligible OpEx in total OpEx decreased by 4.9 percentage points, from 51.1% in 2023 to 46.1% in 2024.
The decrease in the share of eligible OpEx in total OpEx in 2024 is mainly due to the acquisition of the Freiler Group and Palplast, which led to an increase in non-eligible OpEx by over 50% compared to the previous reporting. Although there were increases in operating costs for certain eligible activities, such as CCM 3.17, CCM 5.9, and CE 1.1, there were also decreases in operating costs for activities CCM 6.6, CCM 7.6, and CCM 3.5.

Description As the policy states, we actively participate in the recovery of plastic waste generated in production by recycling and re-introducing it into the manufacturing flow to obtain new products. |
During 2024 we have not implemented specific actions on developing sustainable products. Currently, our strategy is to manufacture the sustainable products we already have in our portfolio, namely biodegradable and compostable packaging, polyethylene packaging that includes recycled material and pipes that integrate recycled PVC. This comes as we face challenges from the limited penetration of the sustainable products in the market – a risk detailed within this chapter as well. Description On this topic, our efforts aim at contributing to awareness by promoting the benefits of biodegradable & compostable packaging in the market, compared to packaging made of virgin raw materials (HDPE and LDPE), and promoting pipes and packaging made with recycled material. We consider this approach more suitable in the current market context, as we currently do not have alternative solutions that can be used at scale and the resulting products would have the same limitations as the existing ones. |
No KPIs for monitoring progress since no speci fic actions on product development have been carried out. |
There are no targets set on this topic. We will not set a target since looking at the products in our port folio and the tech nical solutions in the market (including raw materials) there is no indication there is a viable opportunity to implement at scale a new sustainable pro duct. |

At present, TeraPlast Group does not have a formal transition plan for climate change mitigation. The main reason for this is the group's strategy for regional and business expansion in the last 2 years. During this period, new business lines were created within the group and new companies were added to the group structure. This implies an integration process and also changes the group size, thus the management considered that a transition strategy would not be accurate and viable for the new structure of the group if it were drawn up before completing the accelerated expansion strategy. In example, a GHG emissions target set before the expansion of the Group structure would not have the same impact and would not imply the same efforts in reaching it when the aggregated data includes new companies compared to the initial structure of the Group. Considering the recent expansion strategy is completed, we will start drawing up a transition plan during 2025 and we intend for this transition plan to be finalized in 2026.
Even so, over the years we have developed various projects and initiatives that contribute to climate change mitigation, such as:

At TeraPlast Group we recognize that energy consumption is a key driver of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and we have a continuous improvement approach on energy matters. We integrate energy performance monitoring into our corporate governance structure, with annual reporting on key energy indicators and carbon footprint assessments. This allows for continuous improvement and proactive adaptation to climate risks.
We have firmly embedded energy efficiency and management into our core operational principles, reflecting a deep commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainable development. This dedication is articulated through our Environmental Policy that guides the Group's actions in minimizing environmental impact and promoting responsible resource utilization.
The Group's Environmental Policy underscores a proactive approach to environmental protection, emphasizing the importance of energy efficiency in our operations. This policy outlines our commitment to continuous improvement in environmental performance, adherence to legal and regulatory requirements, and the prevention of pollution. A key aspect of this policy is the focus on optimizing energy consumption, which not only reduces environmental impact but also enhances operational efficiency.
Complementing this, the Integrated Management System (IMS) Policy integrates quality, environmental, and occupational health and safety management systems. Within this framework, energy management is a critical component, with the policy advocating for the efficient use of resources and the implementation of energy-saving measures. The IMS Policy promotes a culture of continuous improvement, encouraging the identification and implementation of opportunities to enhance energy performance across all levels of the organization. Furthermore, in 2024, TeraPlast SA – the parent company of the Group and the largest entity within the Group – achieved ISO 50001 certification for its Energy Management System (EnMS), marking a significant milestone in our sustainability journey. This certification not only underscores our commitment to efficient energy practices but also enhances our ability to identify and implement energy-saving measures, leading to significant cost reductions and improved operational performance. By adopting a standardized approach to energy management, TeraPlast SA demonstrates leadership in fostering a culture of continuous improvement and accountability, while reinforcing our dedication to environmental responsibility and compliance with global sustainability standards.
Moving forward, TeraPlast Group remains committed to integrating climate risk management into strategic planning.
To translate these policies into measurable progress, we have undertaken a series of strategic actions designed to enhance energy efficiency and increase the use of renewable energy sources.
We have made substantial progress in transitioning to green energy sources, significantly reducing our dependence on conventional electricity. In 2024, 4% of the total electricity consumed across the Group was sourced from renewable energy. Furthermore, in 2024 we completed building a 4.7 MWp photovoltaic system in the industrial park in Sărățel, Romania, expected to generate clean energy directly onsite, additionally to the existing one, commissioned in 2022, which has a capacity of 1.7 MWp. Among our locations outside Romania, Pro-Moulding is our only subsidiary that also uses renewable energy, through a photovoltaic plant of 0.5 MWp capacity. This helps our decarbonization efforts, reduces the dependence on external energy suppliers, and increases our resilience against potential future energy price volatility or energy-related regulations and tariffs.
Considering the renewable energy produced and consumed by our Group in 2024, if this quantity would have been purchased, our GHG emissions on purchased electricity would have been higher by 425 tonnes of CO2eq. For estimating this we used the emissions factors used for calculating the Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions of our Group.
Regarding the new photovoltaic plant, of 4.7 MW, considering an estimated 5,408 GW of energy produced annually by the plant, it has the potential to save 3,340 tonnes of CO2eq/year.
Energy consumption in our locations is monitored and reported periodically by the energy manager and we calculate yearly the energy intensity as MW/ ton of product for electricity, respectively cubic meter/ ton of product for natural gas. By doing so, we ensure we have comparable data about our energy efficiency, given that our businesses evolve constantly, new production lines and new factories are added to our portfolio, but also to ensure we have accurate assessments in the context or yearly production volumes.
Our state-of-the-art factory for producing biodegradable and compostable packaging also contributes to our decarbonization initiatives. The products are certified OK Compost by TÜV Austria and the positive impact on GHG emissions is demonstrated by a LCA (life cycle assessment) study conducted in 2022 in collaboration with Tractebel. Within this study, we determined that the GHG emissions of the biodegradable and compostable packaging are more than 95% smaller than the ones of the same packaging products made of traditional materials, such as HDPE and LDPE. By the total quantity of biodegradable and compostable packaging produced in 2024, this means we saved more than 1,400 tonnes of GHG emissions compared to HDPE packaging, respectively more than 6,500 tonnes compared to LDPE packaging. The impact the production of biodegradable and compostable packaging will have each year can be assessed on a yearly basis, depending on the volumes produced.
Actions and initiatives that contribute to climate change mitigation or adaptation have also been analyzed in the context of the EU Taxonomy Regulations and the delegated acts. From the eligibility perspective, 29.9% of the total turnover, 38.1% of the total CapEx and 46.1% of the total OpEx in 2024 are related to eligible activities. Complete details on this topic are available in the dedicated section of this report. There are no objectives set so far for alignment to the provisions of the EU Taxonomy Regulations, nor dedicated targets of developing a CapEx plan based on Taxonomy eligible/aligned activities.

There are no nature-based solutions included in TeraPlast Group's actions that contribute to decarbonization, and the actions have not been mapped by decarbonization levers.

Currently, no specific, time-bound GHG emissions targets are set for TeraPlast Group, the main reason being the expansion of our businesses in the last years, which increased the size of both our production capacities and geographical footprint. Following our expansion strategy, a new factory was added in 2024 in Sărățel, Romania, and three more factories in three different locations were added by the M&A operations carried out. As we draw up a formal transition plan, GHG emissions reduction targets will be included too.

In presenting the Group GHG emissions we did not include a base year, since we consider it irrelevant in comparison to the reporting year 2024. This comes from the background of multiple expansion projects, through both investment and M&A, that were implemented during the last years, which impacted the structure of the Group, therefore the GHG emissions over the years. Looking at the information above, impacts of new acquisitions can be identified resulting in significant increases in some emissions categories.
We calculated direct emissions from our own activities (Scope 1), indirect emissions from electricity consumption related to our activities (Scope 2), as well as indirect emissions from assets not owned or controlled by us, from the upstream and downstream value chain (Scope 3), in accordance with the requirements of the GHG Protocol – A Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard.

In 2023, we have conducted an assessment of climate-related risks and opportunities, in line with the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosure (TCFD). However, this assessment only included the companies of the Group in the 2022 structure. Along the following years, besides the accelerated expansion strategy through M&A, our operational landscape changed as well, through investments in new production facilities and even new capacities for renewable energy production. We consider the assessment outdated since it does not cover a significant part of the current structure of the Group and in terms of locations it is limited to the locations in Romania, while in 2024 the Group's locations include Hungary, Austria, Republic of Moldova and, more recently, Croatia.
We plan to repeat this assessment to cover the 2024-2025 structure of our Group, in the next 2 years. Future disclosures will reflect our progress in this area.

We are dedicated to integrating circular economy principles into our operational framework, recognizing the need to minimize resource consumption and environmental impact while maximizing value creation.
Thus, we permanently monitor our inventory and production costs to track the efficient use of materials throughout our production processes. This includes monitoring the types and quantities of raw materials, packaging, and other inputs, including recycled materials. Moreover, we monitor the proportion of recycled materials used in the overall production.
We actively engage with stakeholders, including suppliers, customers, and industry partners – to gather insights into resource use and circular economy practices. By being part of industry associations, we inform our strategy and ensure we are constantly updated on regulations and innovation. All of these allow us to understand the broader impact of our operations and identify areas for improvement. It also gives us a better understanding of market trends and evolution of the demand for the products in our portfolio.
We use a structured risk assessment framework to identify potential risks which include aspects that fall within resource use and circular practices. These include, for example, evaluating supply chain risks related to the availability of critical raw materials, environmental regulations, and market fluctuations that may affect material sourcing. When significant risks are identified, we draft action plans to mitigate the risks and improve our performance on specific matters, which ensures the resilience of our businesses. Our performance and progress are reviewed annually within the management analysis, where key departments assess their evolution against improvement measures planned and targets set.
We are also committed to transparently reporting all relevant topics, providing clear disclosures in accordance with relevant standards and frameworks, such as this report or other assessments such as EcoVadis.


Even though we have a solid understanding of circular economy and apply its principles, we face the limited market penetration of biodegradable products or products with recycled material content. This originates in a series of factors that are linked with each other. A significant challenge is the general lack of consumer awareness and education regarding the benefits of these sustainable products, which can lead to hesitance in purchasing decisions. Additionally, the price sensitivity of consumers plays a critical role, as biodegradable and recycled products often have higher production costs compared to conventional alternatives, deterring potential buyers who may prioritize cost over sustainability.
Moreover, there is a prevalent skepticism regarding the performance and quality of biodegradable materials, with many consumers and businesses uncertain whether these products can meet their performance needs. This perception is compounded by the limited infrastructure for effective recycling and the dominance of established conventional products that overshadow newer, eco-friendly options. As a result, these interrelated factors create significant barriers to the widespread adoption of biodegradable and recycled material products, ultimately hindering TeraPlast's efforts to penetrate the market and fulfill our sustainable development objectives.
While we have conducted a double materiality assessment as part of our sustainability reporting process, we have not yet performed a formal screening of our assets using specific tools or methodologies to identify impacts, risks, and opportunities (IROs) related to resource use and the circular economy.
However, in identifying and assessing IROs for this topic, we considered all Group facilities, leveraging available assumptions regarding asset composition and operational realities. Our approach has been based on internal expertise, industry knowledge, and regulatory expectations rather than a structured asset screening tool.
As we refine our sustainability strategy, we recognize the value of implementing a more systematic assessment of asset-related risks and opportunities in this area.
The Group's Environmental Policy emphasizes the importance of waste management and the reintegration of materials into new products. This approach aligns with circular economy principles, aiming to reduce environmental impact through efficient resource use and recycling initiatives.
The IMS (Integrated Management System) Policy integrates quality, environmental, and occupational health and safety management systems. Within this framework, the Group commits to efficient resource utilization and the implementation of measures that support the circular economy. This includes continuous improvement of processes to enhance environmental performance and promote sustainability.
However, a total transition from the traditional resources used (virgin raw materials) is not feasible, since there are certain products and applications that do not have a viable biodegradable/ renewable solution yet. At the same time, there are specific uses of products that require virgin raw materials by product standards (e.g., water transport and distribution PE pipes).
Regarding our procurement procedure for selecting and evaluating our suppliers, we have strict provisions in terms of suppliers' certifications, quality assurance and product characteristics documents, as well as a supplier code of conduct we require them to uphold. In addition, we run quality tests in our own laboratory. Thus, we make sure that we acquire safe and qualitative resources from responsible managed sources and, furthermore, we offer the best solutions to our customers.

Using recycled raw materials, developing biodegradable packaging solutions, and optimizing production processes to reduce emissions and waste and to also contribute to the larger objective of responsible plastic management have been in our focus in recent years and have had a pivotal role in our investments. These initiatives are not only essential for compliance but also position TeraPlast as one of the European leaders in sustainable industrial solutions.
We operate a dedicated recycling division, TeraPlast Recycling, which plays a key role in the circular economy framework. The facility processes rigid PVC waste from various sources, transforming waste into high-quality recycled materials. The Group's recycling efforts contribute to decreasing the reliance on virgin materials and thus reducing the environmental footprint associated with raw material extraction and processing. At the same time, TeraPlast Recycling is one of the largest rigid PVC recyclers in Europe.
We also employ advanced technologies and processes to minimize waste during production. By having internal recycling equipment, we ensure that any by-products from manufacturing are converted into secondary raw materials and reintegrated into the production process. If this is not possible, disposal procedures are in place in line with our waste management provisions. This approach not only reduces resource consumption but also lowers operational costs. More precisely, we integrate recycled materials into PVC pipes, Polypropylene multilayered pipes, corrugated pipes for drainage and cable protection and in part of the flexible polyethylene packaging solutions.
We also focus on offering sustainable products. The Gri(n) Pipe is a prime example of how TeraPlast integrates circular economy principles into its product offerings. By promoting the use of recycled materials and reducing waste, TeraPlast's Gri(n) Pipe plays a crucial role in encouraging a shift towards sustainable practices in the industry. This product integrates up to 100% recycled PVC, and for its recipe we hold an international patent.
The biodegradable and compostable packaging, which is certified OK Compost by TÜV Austria, is another example of products aimed to contribute to the transition towards a circular economy. The biodegradable packaging portfolio is managed by TeraBio Pack, a subsidiary of TeraPlast.
Regarding virgin raw materials, our recipes follow the optimal structure to comply with all international product standards and we use state-of-the-art equipment for maximum productivity, to ensure we obtain high quality products with optimal resource consumption. This also implies the procurement of high-quality raw materials.
Periodic tests are carried out in our own laboratory, which is certified by RENAR – the national body of accreditation in this field. These tests aim both at quality checks and characteristics of the products, and at testing the characteristics and quality of the raw materials we procure. Before entering a collaboration with a new supplier, we evaluate test-batches in our laboratory.
In terms of waste management, we selectively collect packaging and other recyclable waste generated by us across our activity sectors, ensuring it is picked up by authorized collectors. Non-recyclable waste is collected separately and handed over only to authorized collectors for safe transportation to licensed disposal facilities or storage sites. When picked up by collectors, both recyclable and nonrecyclable waste is weighed, and the quantities are recorded on transport documents and registered in a centralized database by the personnel of the environmental department. Packaging waste quantities are monitored weekly to ensure compliance with the recycling percentages stipulated by specific legal requirements in the field of packaging waste.

We have not established specific targets related to resource use and the circular economy. However, we recognize the importance of such targets in driving progress and will continue to assess our approach as we refine our sustainability strategy and, as we develop a transition plan, we expect targets related to this topic to materialize as well.

Waste generated by the companies within the Group was accounted for based on detailed information from our environmental professionals, transfer notes from waste collectors and, where available, data from accounting records. The compiled data includes waste from purchased goods as well as waste from sold products, primarily consisting of recyclable packaging materials. These are either recycled internally where possible or collected by third parties for recycling or other recovery processes. Additionally, waste generated from production processes was, for the most part (approximately 98%), recycled internally. When internal recycling was not feasible, the waste was collected by authorized third parties for appropriate disposal or treatment.
At present, we have not conducted formal assessments on the durability of our products. However, industry research, technical studies, and analyses from large manufacturers and professional associations indicate general durability expectations for similar products.
While we acknowledge the importance of durability in the context of resource efficiency and circular economy principles, we currently rely on existing market data rather than proprietary studies. As part of our commitment to sustainability, we continuously monitor industry developments and regulatory requirements, which may inform future initiatives related to durability assessments.
TeraPlast Group has not conducted a detailed financial impact assessment of risks and opportunities related to resource use and circular economy. At this point, the only financial effect we can name is related to sales below potential for sustainable products, that comes from the limited penetration of these products into the market, caused by either consumer reluctance, insufficient enforcement of regulation and/or limits that come from product standards' requirements. We have not quantified this financial effect. As we advance our sustainability strategy, we aim to integrate financial impact assessments into our planning processes, enabling us to have a structured quantification of the expected costs and benefits of transitioning to circular economy practices. We are committed to increasing the use of recycled raw materials and optimizing resource consumption, which we expect to bring long-term financial and environmental benefits. Future reports will include updates on these efforts.

We identify and manage material impacts, risks, and opportunities related to our workforce to refine our initiatives and manage efficiently the expectations and needs of our employees, fostering a supportive and responsive work environment. Within the DMA, we gathered insight on this topic from key stakeholders, as detailed in the "General disclosures" chapter, which helped inform our approach and identify the material IROs relevant to this reporting.
Key opportunities include conserving employee satisfaction through constant consultation with the union and providing free access to training and skills development programs for all employees. Positive impacts include strict provisions on the arrangement and maintenance of working spaces, offering job security, increasing job satisfaction, and ensuring a safe working environment. These elements are crucial in shaping the company's strategic direction and operational decisions. All employees across TeraPlast Group are affected by these topics.
Currently, we do not have operations at significant risk of forced labor and/or child labor, these practices being forbidden by national and international European law. Moreover, we state our zero-tolerance approach to this kind of practices in our business conduct provisions and expect our value chain to uphold the same principles.


The TeraPlast Group adheres to the national Romanian legal requirements that support the existence of unions and collective bargaining agreements, as well as respecting labor rights. According to the Romanian Labor Code, employees have the right to form and join trade unions to protect their interests. We respect these legal provisions and actively engage with the union representing our workforce in Romania. The collective bargaining agreement in place ensures that employees' rights and interests are protected and promoted. The other companies in the Group, in Hungary, Austria and Republic of Moldova, do not fall under national regulations on unions and collective bargaining agreements, but we ensure their rights and interests are respected as a base principle in relation to our colleagues.
Every year, we conduct consultations with the union in Romania to review benefits and working conditions. These consultations aim to align the company's practices and approach with employees' expectations and interests, ensuring that they remain updated and relevant, and even influence our policies. The outcomes of these consultations include adjustments to compensation packages, improvements in working conditions, and enhancements to employee benefits.
The TeraPlast Group Code of Conduct applies to all our employees, and emphasizes ethical business conduct, respect for human rights, and the promotion of a safe and inclusive work environment that fosters equal opportunities and competence-based performance. The Code outlines the company's commitment to integrity, professionalism, non-discrimination and respecting the interests of any vulnerable group in our workforce. It also includes policies on anti-corruption, ensuring that employees act ethically and responsibly in all business dealings. The Code is complemented by the anti-harassment and discrimination guide which strengthens our commitment to provide a working environment free of such treatments and defines concepts for clear understanding. Thus, we condemn discrimination based on racial and ethnic origin, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, age, religion, political opinion, national extraction or social origin, or other forms of discrimination as stated by Union regulation and national laws. Within this framework we also forbid practices that imply forced labor, child labor or human trafficking. In drawing up all these provisions we consider being in line with all the main international initiatives on these topics.
TeraPlast Group's Health and Safety Policy serves as the foundation for developing specific instruments on workforce health and safety, in line with the ISO 45001 management system for the companies in Romania. The policy includes the elimination of hazards and reduction of risks, with the company committed to identifying and mitigating workplace hazards to ensure a safe working environment. TeraPlast Group provides safe and healthy working conditions to prevent workrelated injuries and illnesses. This includes regular safety drills, risk assessments, and the provision of appropriate protective equipment. The company continuously improves its health and safety performance through regular audits, employee training, and feedback mechanisms. Employees are actively involved in health and safety initiatives, ensuring that their perspectives and concerns are considered in decision-making processes.
The whistleblower policy at TeraPlast Group sets the grounds for secure and objective instruments for reporting incidents, in line with applicable regulations. This policy is applicable to anyone who, in a professional context, interacts with the Group and encounters situations that violate the company's rules, national and international regulations, or harm the environment, including to our workforce. The whistleblower policy operates on principles of trust, objectivity, good faith, safety, and confidentiality. Reporting should be specific, factual, and submitted in good faith; whistleblowers are protected from retaliation. Confidentiality of the whistleblower's identity and other sensitive information is ensured unless otherwise consented. The policy explicitly prohibits retaliatory actions against whistleblowers, including disciplinary actions, discriminatory treatment, or threats. Detailed information on the whistleblower policy is available within the "General disclosures" chapter.
Our Group actively involves employees and their representatives in discussions related to topics that are of interest to them, or which have the potential to impact them, aiming to maximize positive impact. Such topics include employee satisfaction, ensuring a safe working environment, upholding strict provisions on arrangement and maintenance of working spaces, offering job security and job satisfaction. We facilitate regular consultations, feedback sessions, and formal and informal engagements with trade unions.
At TeraPlast Group we are also committed to respecting and promoting fundamental human rights, citizens' rights and the free movement of people in each company and in all the business relationships we carry out. The Group complies with international directives, norms and standards on respect for human rights:
Thus, we furtherly respect the rights of employees, promoting a fair remuneration program, without discrimination, based on performance and skills or by protecting safe and healthy working conditions, in accordance with local and international legislation and regulations.
By collaborating with the labor union, we ensure that we incorporate employee perspectives into decision-making and that we are aware of any specific concerns of particular employee groups. The CEO and Human Resource Director hold the primary responsibility for ensuring that these engagement processes are effectively implemented. This includes overseeing meetings, ensuring compliance with consultation requirements, and integrating employee feedback into our strategies. The frequency of the meetings is both in response to legal requirements and stakeholders request for process changes or process improvement.
These engagement processes apply specifically to our companies in Romania, where structured rules of engagement with the union are in place and 100% of workers here are covered by the collective bargaining agreement, respectively are represented by the existing union. They represent 86% of the total TeraPlast Group employees. The remaining companies within TeraPlast Group, namely the ones in the Republic of Moldova, Austria and Hungary follow local legal requirements regarding employee engagement and sustainability compliance. Although by their internal rules they respect the freedom of association, from the perspective of national regulations, these companies do not have a legal obligation to have a union or appoint employee representatives and no such issue arose until now originating from own workforce. Following their integration within TeraPlast Group, this topic will be addressed independently.

For our operations in Romania, we have a Collective Labor Agreement as well as a Code of Conduct in place, that actively foster fair relationships with our employees and state each party's rights and obligations, including respecting human rights, and prevention of harassment and discriminatory behaviors in the workplace. The code of conduct clearly outlines policies and reporting mechanisms to ensure a respectful and inclusive work environment for all employees.
Moreover, a well-structured social dialogue leads to improved employee morale, reduced workplace conflicts, and a stronger alignment between organizational goals and workforce needs.

Actions taken during 2024, following discussions with the union, to strengthen our alignment between employee input and the Group's strategy:
By permanently being aware of our workforce's needs, we ensure that employees participate in our continuous improvement initiatives, leading to informed decision-making, enhanced corporate responsibility, and alignment with broader Environmental, Social, and Governance objectives. Additionally, by proactively addressing workforce-related opportunities and impacts, we aim to foster a resilient and future-ready workforce. Through continuous collaboration with employees, unions, and stakeholders, we ensure that our sustainability initiatives align with both employee well-being and long-term business growth.
Our organization has established clear procedures for addressing negative impacts and ensuring employees have accessible channels to raise concerns about sustainability-related matters.
• Clear and solid provisions on workforce rights and freedoms, and compensation measures included in the collective agreement
These mechanisms foster trust within the workforce, ensuring that all employees feel heard and protected while contributing to a healthy and ethical workplace.
In line with applicable regulation on the protection of whistleblowers, our system and procedure comprise strict provisions on managing, investigating and providing remedies for people raising concerns, meaning that employee complaints remain confidential and are protected from retaliation. More specifically, it is prohibited to impose any disciplinary sanction, discriminatory treatment, or other adverse actions against them, such as dismissal, transfer, reduction or withdrawal of benefits, denial of promotion or access to training, termination of collaboration, threats, harassment, or other such actions against them or their family. If the personal safety of a whistleblower or his family members is put at risk, they must necessarily have the right to protective measures. A formal evaluation of the employee satisfaction on these grievance channels has not been carried out, but it will be considered for future assessment instruments dedicated to employee satisfaction.

During the reporting year, no incidents and complaints were reported on severe human rights impacts; no fines, sanctions or compensations were imposed on discrimination, harassment or ethics incidents.

Within TeraPlast Group we focus on offering stable employment and fair remuneration for the work performed and skills of our colleagues. We permanently seek instruments for increasing job security and satisfaction among workers, reducing stress and uncertainty. For this, we have formal frameworks, such as pay scales and specific criteria for awarding additional benefits.
In our view, ensuring employee safety and health is non-negotiable. We maintain strict health and safety standards, conduct periodic safety drills and risk assessments, and provide personnel with protective equipment adapted to their work specificity. Workplace ergonomics are improved to prevent injuries, and employees receive training on safety procedures and healthy work practices. We also have emergency response plans and on-site medical resources for immediate support. All these are supported by our health and safety policy at Group level. Additionally, we carry out our activity in this area within the Occupational Health and Safety Management System according to ISO 45001 standard.
Having strict provisions on how the working spaces are organized and managed/tended (be it production, offices or even concern on the company's vehicles state for the sales agents) has a direct influence on the working conditions of the employees, contributing to preserving their health, productivity and satisfaction. Dedicated provisions are specifically addressed through work instructions and periodic training sessions tailored to the characteristics of each workplace. Compliance with these provisions is verified through regular internal inspections, and where necessary, we provide additional training.

Moreover, reasonable working hours and clear provisions for overtime conditions together with a strong benefits package can lead to increased productivity and job satisfaction among employees. Our businesses encourage freedom of association and the effective recognition of the right to collective bargaining, the elimination of all forms of forced labor, the effective abolition of child labor and the elimination of discrimination in employment and relationships at work. To reduce stress and burnout, we monitor workloads and encourage a healthy work-life balance, including reasonable working hours and overtime management.
Continuous dialogue with the union on working conditions, benefits and on negotiation of the Collective Labor Agreement also contributes to us having a complete and accurate oversight into employee needs, feedback and satisfaction on the working conditions. We will continue organizing meetings on the safety of the working environment and protective equipment and starting 2025 we plan for them to take place quarterly.
Additionally, the principles we follow to prevent discrimination and harassment, to ensure ethical and righteous business conduct as well as to address potential incidents on these topics, are comprised within our internal rules, code of conduct and the dedicated guide against discrimination and harassment.
We do not tolerate behaviors that contravene TeraPlast Group's internal regulations and policies, human rights, or current legal provisions . We have zero tolerance for any discrimination and/or unethical behavior . Any such situation can be reported through the integrity whistleblower system available publicly on the websites of the companies of the Group .
We offer extensive professional development programs, including workshops, online courses, and tuition reimbursement for external education to furtherly contribute to increasing our workforce and implicitly our Group's performance . Employees receive ongoing training to upgrade their skills, and we encourage them to pursue certifications or further qualifications relevant to their roles . By promoting continuous learning, we not only support individual career growth but also strengthen the company's overall skill base .
We monitor performance indicators like employee turnover rate, training hours per employee, accident/incident rates, and employee satisfaction scores . We also track diversity statistics (e . g . gender and minority representation) and have seen steady improvements, reflecting the impact of our inclusion initiatives .
We have a continuous improvement approach, thus the results of these metrics and ongoing feedback inform our action plans . For instance, if the number of overtimes increase or we highlight workload stress in certain departments, we respond by hiring additional staff or adjusting project timelines . We treat this monitoring as a feedback loop to continually refine our programs and policies .
By taking these actions on material workforce issues, managing risks proactively, and seizing opportunities to invest in our people, our company not only mitigates potential negatives but also fosters a positive, supportive work environment . This integrated approach to workforce sustainability contributes to overall business resilience and success .

In 2024, TeraPlast Group's team comprised of 1,125 employees. Their structure can be consulted below. Out of total, 93% of the group's employees are permanent employees, reflecting our commitment to stable employment. Regarding working time, 95% of total employees are full-time employees. Country-wise, 85.8% of the employees work in Romania, 10.9% in Hungary, 2.6% in the Republic of Moldova, respectively 0.7% in Austria. Each number of employees per country represents the sum of head-count employees in each company operating in the respective country. No estimations have been made regarding the number of employees.
Thus, the countries in the adjacent table are connected to our Group structure as follows:
| 2024 Data | Romania | Hungary | Austria | Republic of Moldova |

| Women | 28 | 4 | - | 1 | 33 |
| Men | 26 | 0 | - | 4 | 30 |
All numbers represent head-count at the end of the reporting period. The category "other" regarding gender is not applicable.
Regarding the employee turnover rate, the Group-level turnover rate was 19.32% in 2024, in line with industry-averages. The data was calculated using the total number of employees leaving the company voluntarily, by dismissal and retirement, in the reporting year, compared to the average number of employees. The turnover rate at Group level was calculated using the total number of employees who have left the company, compared to the total number of Group employees, to ensure a representative value.

All employees in all our locations are covered by social protection in line with national law for access to health care and income support in cases of challenging life events.
In addition to national regulation, the collective bargaining agreement which covers the employees in Romania includes additional provisions on social protection, respectively different money allowances, compensation or extra-vacation days for:
Additionally, the employees covered by the collective agreement have other extra benefits as well, such as health insurance, vacation vouchers, and other bonuses.

We invest in continuous learning and development initiatives to enhance employee competencies and career growth. This contributes to increasing employee engagement, higher retention rates and improved overall productivity, which positively impacts on long-term business performance.
Our training programs cover both technical and soft skills, ensuring that employees remain adaptable to evolving industry trends. This fosters growth within our operations and helps us adapt and perform under various circumstances.
Information on training is available within the table below for our countries of operation. In Hungary the data regarding trainings is not documented in the form required by ESRS, thus we marked the data to be unavailable. For the rest of the data, we considered the total number of hours of training versus the total number of employees, respectively the total number of training hours by gender versus the total number of employees by the respective category.
The structure of the companies included in the data table below is:
| 2024 data | Romania | Hungary | Austria | Republic of Moldova |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Percentage of employees who participated in performance and career development reviews |
45.05% | 47% | 0% | 0% |

16.98 | n/a | 0 | 0.69 |
| Women | 7.17 | 0 | 6.67 | |
| Men | 19.49 | 0 | 0 |
The effectiveness of our health and safety system and rules can be seen by looking at the health and safety metrics below. In calculating the rate of recordable work-related accidents, we followed the guidance of ESRS, namely we divided the number of accidents by number of total hours worked by our workforce and multiplied by 1,000,000. Regarding the accidents, all employees involved returned to work after completing their days of work incapacity.

Regarding the targets requested by the ESRS on own workforce material topics, we currently do not have targets that are fully compliant with the ESRS requirements on targets' characteristics and details. However, we have established and plan to further develop internal objectives and KPIs aimed at enhancing our workforce management. These include increasing the number of training hours for our employees to foster continuous development and skill enhancement, as outlined in the relevant chapter. Additionally, we have set objectives to formalize quarterly meetings with the union to ensure effective communication and collaboration on workforce-related matters. We also have various other objectives focused on improving employee well-being, engagement, and satisfaction. We are dedicated to aligning our practices with the ESRS requirements and will continue to work towards achieving full compliance in the future.

For 2024, our DMA identified a series of positive impacts that are material for our reporting, including enhanced transparency, encouraging dialogue, providing accurate information and labelling, assurance of product quality and safety, ensuring product safety and quality, availability of products, and avoiding greenwashing and misinformation in promoting product characteristics and benefits. For more information on the sources of information and criteria used for evaluating IROs, please refer to the double materiality assessment detailed in chapter ESRS 2 "General Information". We prioritize transparency in all communications, including in relation to consumers and end-users, ensuring they have access to clear and accurate information about our products and services. This commitment is an important part of our business model, which enhances trust and strengthens our market position. At the same time, we foster an open dialogue with our stakeholders, encouraging feedback and engagement. This approach supports our processes and helps us address stakeholder concerns effectively.
Accurate information and labelling are critical to our product offerings. We ensure that all information about our products specificities is clear and informative, helping consumers make informed decisions and reinforcing our reputation for quality. Ensuring the safety and quality of our products is a top priority. We implement rigorous quality control measures and safety standards to protect our consumers and end-users, thereby enhancing customer satisfaction and loyalty.
Our commitment to health and safety extends beyond compliance. We continuously improve our processes to ensure that our products meet the highest safety standards, contributing to the well-being of our customers and the communities we serve.
We strive to ensure the availability of our products to meet market demand. This involves optimizing our supply chain and distribution networks to provide reliable access to our products and services.
We are committed to responsible marketing practices, avoiding greenwashing and misinformation. Our marketing strategies are based on honesty and integrity, ensuring that our product claims are accurate and verifiable.
Our main customers categories, that are also included in the scope of this reporting, are:

We do not expose our customers or the end users to any significant harm in manipulating and/or using them. Our products are not harmful to health and do not increase the risk of chronic diseases; in our relationship with our customers, we comply with all regulations regarding data protection and privacy, products are accompanied by accurate and accessible information for safe use, and do not negatively impact vulnerable consumers, such as children or financially vulnerable individuals. We provide documentation with instructions regarding the manipulation, storage and use of the products. Through our business model and the principles, we follow in business conduct, we ensure no customer category is exposed to high risks.
During 2024, we had no product recalls, nor incidents related to the security of products or any situations that might pose harm to our customers' safety or that of their consumers.
Our products have multiple positive impacts:
• Recycled PVC: The availability of recycled PVC in the market encourages its use in new PVC products, supporting the transition to a circular economy.
Given the specific nature of our products and their applications, it is not feasible to develop products targeting specific groups of disadvantaged users. However, the positive impacts of our products are felt broadly across various sectors, contributing to the overall well-being and sustainability of communities in the regions we serve.

For all companies operating within the ISO 9001 quality management system there is a formal framework which includes a quality management policy.
Through this policy we state our commitment to delivering high-quality products and services that meet customer expectations and comply with all relevant regulations. We continuously strive to improve our processes and align our quality objectives with our strategic goals. By fostering a culture of quality and ensuring clear communication, we aim to achieve excellence and customer satisfaction.
The principles of this policy and management system extend to our practices regarding the information we provide to our customers and all aspects of our relationship with them. All these are complemented by the provisions of the code of conduct where topics such as conflicts of interest, anti-corruption and bribery or discrimination are detailed, together with commitment to respect all legal provisions applicable.
Regarding human rights, the provisions of the code of conduct clearly state that we respect human rights and no actions are allowed that could cause or contribute to any violation. This applies both to our workforce and to all individuals our team comes in contact with professionally. Our whistleblower policy indicates the right and channels to report any violation of human rights. Our approach is aligned with the International Labour Organization Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work and the guidelines of the UN. During the reporting period we did not register any case of non-respect of the international provisions on human rights.
At TeraPlast Group, we are committed to ensuring transparency, product safety, and consumer trust by providing accurate and complete information regarding our products and their use to our customers. Our engagement with consumers and end-users is structured through multiple channels, including:
Even though for the reporting year we have identified actual positive impacts, we have established frameworks to identify, manage and receive any reports on potential negative impacts. At any time, consumers and end-users can submit complaints or report issues through our dedicated channels for consumer feedback and complaints, as well as our publicly available whistleblowing system for ethics and integrity, regulations or environment topics. These systems enable any stakeholder to report ethical violations or product concerns confidentially. Detailed information on the whistleblowing system available, management of reports, confidentiality and the non-retaliation provisions is available within the "Business conduct" section. We also have a hotline available for reaching out to specific departments within our company for TeraPlast and all companies have dedicated email addresses for submitting complaints. Even though no formal dedicated evaluation of customers' awareness and satisfaction with existing instruments was conducted, the results of our customer satisfaction studies show good satisfaction regarding the interaction with our team, and the approach and resolution of complaints.
Currently, we do not have additional specific processes in place for engaging consumers and end-users about the impacts of our products beyond the aforementioned channels. However, we remain committed to maintaining open lines of communication and continuously improving our products and services for early detection of potential conflicts or negative impacts we might have.
We operate under an integrated management system for quality, environment, health, and operational safety for companies in Romania, in accordance with ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO 9001, and ISO 50001 (the latter only for TeraPlast). We conduct periodic recertification audits to externally validate the effectiveness of our measures. In the area of products and our relationship with customers, these extend to quality, environmental impact, and occupational health and safety standards, ensuring responsible production. Palplast from the Republic of Moldova and Wolfgang Freiler Group companies with operational activities function under the ISO 9001 management system. Thus, we have formal frameworks for quality management across all our manufacturing activities – a key aspect in our relationship with customers where it is important to offer highquality products.
As part of our Integrated Management System, we conduct annual reviews to assess the performance of our safety, quality, and compliance initiatives. Additionally, we carry out periodic internal audits to evaluate adherence to product safety protocols and the performance of our consumer protection measures.
In Romania, we have our own testing laboratory for products in our portfolio, accredited by RENAR. In the Republic of Moldova, Palplast has the only accredited testing laboratory in the country.
The principles we follow in our relationship with customers are in line with the provisions of the code of conduct, including respect for human rights, in accordance with applicable international provisions. All information on this topic is detailed within the "Business conduct" chapter of this report. In our offers, we follow clear and transparent principles to strengthen customer trust in us and our products. We have dedicated systems for product complaints, where our customers are encouraged to report any issues they encounter.
Our dedicated quality control teams ensure that our production processes maintain consistent quality, in line with the product standards we must adhere to. These teams provide quality assurance both in the use of products and in the safety of actors in our value chain.
As mentioned earlier, we monitor customer satisfaction performance for TeraPlast and for Pro-Moulding through customer satisfaction studies.
The overall satisfaction scores for TeraPlast's products have remained consistently high over the years. For example, in 2024, the average satisfaction score was over 9 on a scale of 1 to 10. The NPS (net promoter score) for TeraPlast has shown strong loyalty among customers. In 2024, the NPS for Granules was 94%, and for Installations, it was 91%. Key performance indicators such as the attitude of the sales team, technical competence, response time to information requests, and accuracy of commercial documents have consistently received high scores, often above 9.5 out of 10. Customers have provided positive feedback on various aspects, including product quality, ease of order placement, technical support efficiency, and the variety of products and services offered. The incidence of complaints has been relatively low. In 2024, only 7% of respondents reported having any complaints. Most complaints were resolved satisfactorily, with high satisfaction scores for the resolution process. Customers have suggested improvements in areas such as expanding the product range, ensuring consistent stock availability, and enhancing the order processing system.
Similarly, the overall satisfaction scores for Pro-Moulding's activities in the previous year are high, with an average score of 4.4 out of 5. The quality of Pro-Moulding's products is rated positively, with an average score of 4.3 out of 5. The company is seen as customer-oriented, with an average score of 4.6. The handling time of complaints is generally quick, and the corrective measures for complaints are considered adequate. Reliability and product quality are rated positively as well.
We have dedicated channels for consumer feedback and complaints, along with a publicly available whistleblowing system that enables any stakeholder to report ethical violations or product concerns. Comprehensive information on our whistleblower system which can be used by our entire value chain can be consulted in the "Business conduct" chapter of this report. During 2024, we registered no reports from our customers related to human rights violations.
Deliveries are accompanied by Declarations of Conformity/Performance, verifying compliance with applicable industry standards and test results. Our technical datasheets, warranty certificates, and product packaging guidelines provide comprehensive instructions for safe product handling and storage, protecting both workers and end users.

To ensure that all this system in relation to our customers works seamlessly, we have dedicated teams responsible for each topic. Starting with the laboratory and technical department or quality control, to our back-office team, integrity commission, sales force and additional colleagues (e.g., in internal audit), we are well equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to address challenges and capitalize opportunities.
We strongly believe in transparency and integrity in promoting our products' characteristics and benefits, thereby we commit to avoid greenwashing and misinformation. We ensure that our product catalogues are comprehensive, with all characteristics accurately and completely stated. To support our sustainability claims, we provide detailed information sources, such as lifecycle studies for our biodegradable packaging portfolio, ensuring our customers can trust the environmental benefits of our products. Additionally, we generate informative written and video content to highlight product characteristics, benefits, and best practices. For products with sustainability-related features, we create dedicated product pages to offer clear and accessible information. Through these actions, we uphold our commitment to honest communication and sustainable practices.

While we have not defined specific targets related to the material topics and in relation to our relationships with customers, we have several instruments of monitoring our progress in this area:
As our Group expands and in line with our excellence and continuous improvement-oriented philosophy, we will develop specific targets related to the material topics covered within this section of the report during the next 2 years to cover all our operations.
We remain committed to providing high-quality, safe, and compliant products while fostering transparent and responsible engagement with consumers and end-users. Through our integrated management system, accredited laboratories, and robust complaint-handling mechanisms, we ensure ongoing improvements in product quality and consumer protection. Our monitoring, stakeholder engagement, and risk assessment processes allow us to adapt proactively to evolving market needs and regulatory requirements

Scope The whistleblower policy has specific provisions on prohibiting retaliatory action against whistleblowers and our approach is in line with Law no. 361/2022 regarding the protection of whistleblowers. Description The policy lists examples of prohibited retaliatory actions, such as dismissal, transfer, demotion, reduction or withdrawal of benefits, refusal of promotion or training, termination of cooperation, threats, or prosecution against the whistleblower or their family. It also notes that if the personal safety of a whistleblower or their family is endangered, they are entitled to protective measures. |

Description | |
| Description The code applies to all suppliers providing products and services to our Group. The overarching objectives are to ensure ethical and responsible business practices, promote sustainability, and foster strong, mutually beneficial partnerships with suppliers. This includes upholding ethical business practices, ensuring information security and confidentiality, sourcing responsibly, establishing whistleblowing systems, adhering to labor and human rights standards, prioritizing health and safety, and protecting the environment. The code aligns with the UN Global Compact's Ten Principles on business and human rights. The responsibility for communicating and enforcing this code among suppliers belongs to the Procurement Director of the Group. |

reporting. | |
| Considering our existing instruments and business model, except for the annual report and sustainability report which require such information to be reported, we did not identify the need to formalize a separate policy on transparency in reporting. |
As a listed company (BSE symbol: TRP) and the parent-company of TeraPlast Group, upholding strict business conduct principles is even more important. We are subject to additional ethics and integrity regulations and guidelines that concern public companies, and we follow the provisions of the Bucharest Stock Exchange Corporate Governance Code.
The responsibility for overseeing and managing any incidents or violations of the business conduct principles of the Group is delegated to the Integrity Commission. This commission includes specialists in the legal field, labor law, human resources, and integrated management systems. Thus, depending on the reports received, the integrity officer discusses the subject of the report with the commission members. The case is analyzed and, based on the commission's conclusions, an action plan is drafted and communicated to the executive management. Depending on the severity of the reported situation and the risks it poses, the information may also be transmitted to the Board of Directors for analysis and consultation.
We recognize that maintaining strong business conduct is crucial for long-term fair and ethical development. Within the materiality assessment we identified and prioritized the IROs related to our business operations and stakeholder expectations. For 2024, our assessment identified a series of positive impacts that are material for our reporting on business conduct, regarding ethical and employee-oriented corporate culture, whistleblower system, transparent and solid anti-corruption and bribery approach, lobbying activities and suppliers mix and relationships. For more information on the sources of information and criteria used for evaluating IROs please refer to the double materiality assessment detailed in chapter ESRS 2 "General Information".
To efficiently manage these, we employ a robust set of instruments that contribute to our performance and keep risks at a low level. Through the code of conduct and supplier due diligence processes we continuously monitor and review our business conduct strategies and have found that implementing these strategies also creates positive impacts, such as enhanced stakeholder trust and improved reputation. Further, we are developing proactive strategies to leverage our ethical conduct as a competitive advantage.
The TeraPlast Group is committed to maintaining the highest ethical standards and fostering a strong corporate culture of integrity and transparency. Our corporate culture is built on our mission of developing efficient solutions for people and the environment. We actively promote open communication and constructive feedback, and our Code of Conduct offers guidance on both internal and external interactions. Our robust whistleblower system enables the anonymous reporting of any unethical behavior, ensuring that concerns are addressed promptly and confidentially. Investigations into any potential breaches are conducted independently of implicated management, and outcomes are reported transparently to relevant authorities, when necessary. Currently, we do not have a formal system to trace and evaluate our corporate culture. Considering the recent expansion of the Group, we acknowledge the need for such instruments considering the size of our workforce and its geographical distribution. Thus, we plan to develop instruments that help us better establish, develop, promote and evaluate our corporate culture at Group level.
All business conduct principles followed by TeraPlast Group are included in the code of conduct and internal rules; thus, all employees, managers, executives and Directors are expected to adhere to them. Moreover, the Integrated Management System team, together with all department managers, are responsible for ensuring that all processes, procedures and workflows within the Group do not violate any of the code of conduct's provisions. Additionally, business conduct topics are also included in the suppliers' code of conduct and the integrity warnings policy.
All relevant documents, such as the code of conduct, suppliers' code of conduct and whistleblowing policy and system are publicly available on our website and are communicated to relevant stakeholders whenever possible. In the care of the supplier code of conduct, we ask our partners to acknowledge and sign it. All employees are informed about the code of conduct when starting their activity within our companies, and its provisions are frequently included in the internal means of communication.
The Code of Conduct is based on internal rules and brings together an important set of principles that cover our requirements in terms of business conduct for both internal and external contexts. In brief, our code of conduct comprises:
well as regarding donations and sponsorship. Part of this policy are also aspects regarding conflicts of interest and affiliate transactions.
Our Code of Conduct can be publicly consulted at this link.
We encourage individuals who have, in a professional context, objective information related to violations of laws or integrity rules by the company, its employees or collaborators, to report these irregularities through reporting channel publicly available – TeraPlast Whistleblower on our website. Thus, reports cand be submitted by both internal and external individuals in relation to our Group. This system is compliant with all national and European regulations regarding integrity warning, namely whistleblowers.
The incidents and violations that can be reported through our integrity warnings system include:

The reports received are handled by the Integrity Officer and analyzed within the Integrity Committee if the reports fall under one of the categories within the scope of the system. According to the whistleblowing policy, we ensure the confidentiality of those who report irregularities and their protection against possible retaliation, as well as active measures for addressing and preventing reported circumstances, according to European provisions transposed in national Law no. 361/2022.
Besides the public form on the website, any individual who intends to submit a concern may also choose to submit it by using:
All the above-mentioned channels are available 24/7, except the phone line, which is active for calls during working days, Monday to Friday between 8 AM and 5 PM, in the rest of the time only the voice messages being available.
The available instruments within the group regarding integrity, corruption and bribery will be further developed to include and structure training and risk mapping in a more detailed manner. The employees targeted for bi-annual training on these topics are part of the following departments: financial, legal, sales, human resources. These trainings also aim the top management. Also, in line with our continuous development approach, for 2025 we plan on mapping the functions that are most at risk in respect of corruption and bribery, since until present we have not conducted such a process on this topic.During 2024, no individual training was carried out on corruption and bribery.
At TeraPlast Group, we prioritize fostering long-term partnerships with our suppliers as a foundational element of our sustainable business development strategy. Our commitment to collaboration is reflected in our comprehensive annual review process for our accepted supplier list, which is rigorously based on the QCDDM framework – Quality, Cost, Delivery, Development/Technical characteristics, and Management. This structured approach ensures that we maintain high standards and align our supplier partnerships with our strategic goals.
To facilitate continuous improvement in our supplier relationships, we conduct regular performance reviews with our top suppliers, closely monitoring the evolution of QCDDM metrics. This not only helps us gauge supplier performance but also strengthens collaboration by enabling us to address challenges and capitalize on opportunities together. Furthermore, TeraPlast actively engages multiple suppliers for the same product categories. This strategy guarantees the availability of materials that align with our production forecasts and budgets, while also securing optimal economic conditions, including favorable pricing and payment terms. We source materials from both EU and non-EU suppliers, broadening our supply chain resilience and reinforcing our commitment to responsible procurement practices.
In addition to maintaining existing relationships, we are dedicated to the proactive identification of new suppliers and alternative materials to enhance our product offerings. Our self-evaluation process, conducted through an online platform, enhances compliance with the Code of Conduct and ensures that suppliers reflect our values and ethical standards. We engage in dialogues on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria, sustainability, and circularity, which foster collaboration on these crucial issues. Through these initiatives, TeraPlast Group not only cultivates robust supplier relationships but also reinforces its commitment to sustainable development and operational excellence.
Recognizing the shared responsibility for ethical and sustainable supply chains, we require our suppliers to conduct self-assessments of their ESG and integrity performance. Within this process, we enquire about their certifications, incidents, ratings, policies and metrics for each area, respectively business conduct, environment and social. The self-assessment extended process was implemented in 2024, and in 2025 we aim to refine the instruments used, and extend applicability to customers.

Incidents of corruption or bribery
During the reporting period, no incidents of corruption or bribery were identified or reported, and we have not faced any fines or legal challenges related to these issues. Our objective is to have zero incidents, claims or legal cases on corruption and bribery, in line with our principles, throughout the Group each year.
TeraPlast Group recognizes the importance of transparency and ethical conduct in all aspects of its operations, including political activities. As a company, we maintain a position of political neutrality and have not engaged in any political participation, contributions, or lobbying activities during the reporting period. We do not exert political influence or participate in political lobbying, thereby ensuring that our business decisions remain focused on our core objectives and values rather than external political considerations. We do not have a dedicated, formal policy on political involvement, since we consider the provisions in place, on matters such as conflicts of interest, ethics and integrity and fair competition, are sufficient to outline our approach and expectations on this topic. At the same time, we did not identify any need of our companies being registered in the EU Transparency Register, since we have no engagement in these activities, do not plan to in the foreseeable future.
Through our freedom of association principles, we do not forbid our employees from being members of political parties or express their political affinity, as long as their political involvement and opinions do not interfere with their professional activities or violate other employees' preferences. There are no members of the administrative, management and supervisory bodies who have held comparable positions in public administration to the ones they hold within our group in the last two years.
Our commitment to neutrality allows us to prioritize our efforts toward sustainable business practices, stakeholder engagement, and compliance with relevant regulations, without the complexities or potential conflicts that can arise from political involvement. TeraPlast Group remains dedicated to fostering a business environment that encourages responsible practices and supports sustainable development, aligning our operations with the interests of our stakeholders and the communities in which we operate.

At TeraPlast Group, we maintain a transparent and consistent approach to payment practices, ensuring that our suppliers are treated fairly and equitably regardless of their size. In 2024, the average payment period across the Group was 56 days, calculated based on the average monthly closing balance of suppliers for our most significant business components. Notably, this payment period demonstrated a fluctuation, ranging between 55 and 60 days depending on the specific components analyzed.
Our suppliers primarily consist of materials suppliers and service providers. For 2024, the average payment period for materials suppliers was 66 days, while service suppliers enjoyed a shorter average payment period of 21 days. The average payment periods were derived from the four largest entities within TeraPlast Group – TeraPlast, TeraPlast Recycling, TeraBio Pack, and Teraglass – which collectively account for over 86% of the Group's total revenues as reflected in our Consolidated Financial Statements for the 2024 financial year. Importantly, we have no outstanding legal proceedings related to late payments, further underscoring our commitment to meeting our financial obligations.
At TeraPlast, we do not classify suppliers by size; thus, while we do not track the presence of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in our supplier mix, our payment practices and terms apply uniformly to all our suppliers. It is important to note that the average payment periods may vary based on individual negotiations with each supplier, but our overarching goal remains to ensure timely and fair payments. Through these practices, we reinforce our dedication to maintaining strong supplier relationships and promoting a reliable and sustainable supply chain.
Since each collaboration with our suppliers is negotiated individually, we do not have specific targets in place regarding payment periods. Nevertheless, we are committed to respecting all agreements with our suppliers, including the agreed payment terms, to foster healthy and fair relationships across the entire supply chain.

To the Shareholders of TERAPLAST S.A.
We have conducted a limited assurance engagement on the Consolidated Sustainability Statement included in section Consolidated Sustainability Statement of the Consolidated Administrators' Report of TERAPLAST S.A. and its subsidiaries (hereafter the "Group") as at 31 December 2024 and for the period from 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024 (the "Consolidated Sustainability Statement"), prepared by the Group ("the Entity"), with social premises of the parent company registered in Romania, Sărățel village, Șieu-Măgheruș Commune, Calea Teraplast Street No.1, Bistrița-Năsăud County, Fiscal Identification Number RO3094980, Trade Register number J06/735/1992.
Based on the procedures we have performed and the evidence we have obtained, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Consolidated Sustainability Statement of TERAPLAST Group is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the Ministry of Finance Order No. 2844/2016, as revised, Chapter 7, section 7.3 implementing the article 29(a) of the EU Directive 2013/34/EU, including:
We conducted our limited assurance engagement in accordance with International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000 (Revised), Assurance Engagements other than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information.
Our responsibilities under this standard are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities section of our report.
We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our conclusion.
Our assurance engagement does not extend to comparative information in respect of earlier periods. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Deloitte refers to one or more of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited ("DTTL"), its global network of member firms, and their related entities (collectively, the "Deloitte organization"). DTTL (also referred to as "Deloitte Global") and each of its member firms and related entities are legally separate and independent entities, which cannot obligate or bind each other in respect of third parties. DTTL and each DTTL member firm and related entity is liable only for its own acts and omissions, and not those of each other. DTTL does not provide services to clients. Please see www.deloitte.com/about to learn more.
The Consolidated Sustainability Statement was prepared by the Administrators of the Group in order to comply with requirements of the Ministry of Finance Order No. 2844/2016, as revised, Chapter 7, section 7.3 implementing the article 29(a) of the EU Directive 2013/34/EU, including:
The criteria, nature of the Consolidated Sustainability Statement, and absence of long-standing established authoritative guidance, standard applications and reporting practices allow for different, but acceptable, measurement methodologies to be adopted which may result in variances between entities. The adopted measurement methodologies may also impact the comparability of sustainability matters reported by different organizations and from year to year within an organization as methodologies evolve.
In reporting forward looking information in accordance with European Sustainability Reporting Standards, the Administrators of the Group are required to prepare the forward-looking information on the basis of disclosed assumptions about events that may occur in the future and possible future actions by the Group. Actual outcome is likely to be different since anticipated events frequently do not occur as expected.
In determining the disclosures in the Consolidated Sustainability Statement, the Administrators of the Group interpret undefined legal and other terms. Undefined legal and other terms may be interpreted differently, including the legal conformity of their interpretation and, accordingly, are subject to uncertainties.
We draw your attention to the following specific limitations:
Administrators of the Group are responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining a process to identify the information reported in the Consolidated Sustainability Statement in accordance with the ESRS and for disclosing this process in section 3.1.5. Impacts, risks and opportunities management of the Consolidated Sustainability Statement.
This responsibility includes:
Administrators of the Group are further responsible for the preparation of the Consolidated Sustainability Statement, in accordance with the Ministry of Finance Order No. 2844/2016, as revised, Chapter 7, section 7.3 implementing the article 29(a) of the EU Directive 2013/34/EU, including:
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the TERAPLAST Group's sustainability reporting process.
Our objectives are to plan and perform the assurance engagement to obtain limited assurance about whether the Consolidated Sustainability Statement is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a limited assurance report that includes our conclusion.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence decisions of users taken on the basis of the Consolidated Sustainability Statement as a whole. As part of a limited assurance engagement in accordance with ISAE 3000 (Revised) we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the engagement.
The procedures performed in a limited assurance engagement vary in nature and timing from, and are less in extent than for, a reasonable assurance engagement. Consequently, the level of assurance obtained in a limited assurance engagement is substantially lower than the assurance that would have been obtained had a reasonable assurance engagement been performed.
Our responsibilities in respect of the Sustainability Statement, in relation to the Process, include:
Our other responsibilities in respect of the Consolidated Sustainability Statement include:
We complied with the applicable independence and other ethical requirements of the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (the "Code"), together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our assurance engagement of the Consolidated Sustainability Statement in Romania, including Law 162/2017 with subsequent amendments, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code. The Code is founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behaviour.
We applied International Standard on Quality Management (ISQM) 1, Quality Management for Firms that Perform Audits or Reviews of Financial Statements, or Other Assurance or Related Services Engagements, and accordingly maintain a comprehensive system of quality control including documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
A limited assurance engagement involves performing procedures to obtain evidence about the Consolidated Sustainability Statement.
The nature, timing and extent of procedures selected depend on professional judgement, including the identification of disclosures where material misstatements are likely to arise, whether due to fraud or error, in the Consolidated Sustainability Statement.
In conducting our limited assurance engagement, with respect to the Process, we:
In conducting our limited assurance engagement, with respect to the Consolidated Sustainability Statement, we:
Obtained an understanding of the Group's reporting processes relevant to the preparation of its Consolidated Sustainability Statement by:
Evaluated whether material information identified by the Process to identify the information reported in the Consolidated Sustainability Statement is included in the Consolidated Sustainability Statement;
We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our conclusion.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Acquisition of Freiler Group (Austria and Hungary), PalPlast (Moldova) and OptiPlast (Croatia) |
|||||
| Teraplast SA acquired the majority stake of Freiler Group, PalPlast and Optiplast (hereinafter referred to as subsidiaries). As presented in Note 1 and Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Group consolidates Palplast as of 1 January 2024, Freiler Group as of 1 April 2024 and Optiplast as of 1 December 2024. Teraplast SA acquired 100% of the shares in Freiler, 70% of the shares in Optiplast and 51% of the shares in Palplast. The Group contracted an external specialist to prepare a purchase price allocation report in relation to the subsidiaries. Determining and allocating the fair value of the subsidiaries' identifiable assets are significant for our audit, given that the valuation process is complex. Given the significance of such transaction, we identified this matter of the consolidated financial statements as a key audit matter. |
To address such key audit matter, we have conducted several procedures, such as: • We checked the acquisition of the majority package of shares of the subsidiaries by checking the related contracts, the price allocation reports and the associated payments; • We obtained the purchase price allocation report prepared by an external appraiser; • We involved our in-house specialists to check the above mentioned report and offer us support in analyzing the method used by the appraiser contracted by the Group, as well as the data used in such report; • We checked the accuracy of the information disclosed by the Company in the separate financial statements regarding the investment in the subsidiaries. |

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

On the sole basis of the procedures performed within the audit of the consolidated financial statements, in our opinion:
Moreover, based on our knowledge and understanding concerning the Company and its environment gained during the audit on the consolidated financial statements prepared as at December 31, 2024, we are required to report if we have identified a material misstatement of this Administrators' consolidated report. We have nothing to report in this regard.
With respect to the Remuneration report, we read it to determine if it presents, in all material respects, the information required by article 107, paragraphs (1) and (2) of Law 24/2017 regarding the issuers of financial instruments and market operations, republished. We have nothing to report in this regard.

These are the consolidated financial statements of the Teraplast SA Group (the "Group"). The head office of Teraplast SA is in Teraplast Industrial Park, Bistrița-Năsăud county, Romania.
With a tradition of 125 years, TeraPlast SA is the parent company of the TeraPlast Group, one of the most important producers of construction materials and PVC compounds.
Teraplast SA (or the "Company") is a joint-stock company established in 1992. The Company's head office is in the Teraplast Industrial Park, Bistrita- Nasaud County, Romania.
Starting 2 July 2008, the Company Teraplast is listed at the Bucharest Stock Exchange under the symbol TRP.
TeraPlast produces systems for sewage, water and natural gas transport and distribution, rainwater management systems and for cable protection and PVC plasticised and rigid compounds.
The Teraplast Group includes Teraplast and its subsidiaries:
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Order no. 2844/2016 approving the accounting regulations compliant with the International Financial Reporting Standards applicable to trading companies whose securities are admitted to trading on a regulated market, as subsequently amended and clarified ("MoPFO 2844/2016"). These provisions are compliant with the provisions of the International Financial Reporting Standards adopted by the European Union ("EU IFRS").
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, according to the historical cost convention, as modified below:
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all years presented in these financial statements, unless otherwise stated.
These financial statements have been prepared under the going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue its activity also in the foreseeable future. In order to assess the applicability of this assumption, management analyses the forecasts concerning future cash inflows.
At 31 December 2024, the Group's current assets exceed the current liabilities by RON 81,164,139 (31 December 2023: RON 51,754,694). In 2024, the Group registered net loss in amount of RON 19,478,500 (2023: profit of RON 1,138,004). The Group depends on bank financing.
The budget prepared by the Group management and approved by the Board of Administration for 2025 indicates positive cash flows from operating activities, an increase in sales and profitability which contributes directly to improving liquidity and allows the Group to fulfil its contractual clauses with the financing banks. Group management believes that the support from banks is sufficient for the Group to continue its activity in the ordinary course of business, as a going concern.
Management believes that the Company will be able to continue its activity in the foreseeable future and, consequently, the application of the going concern principle in the preparation of the financial statements is justified.
The financial statements comprise the financial statement of the parent and of its subsidiaries as at 31 December 2024. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if, and only if, the Group has:
Generally, there is a presumption that a majority of voting rights result in control. To support this presumption and when the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:
The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the financial year are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the equity holders of the parent and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group's accounting policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.
A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction.
If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognizes the related assets (including goodwill), liabilities, non-controlling interest and other components of equity while any resultant gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss. Any investment retained is recognized at fair value.
The purchases of businesses are accounted for by using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is computed as the sum of the fair values at the purchase date of the assets transferred by the Company, the liabilities registered by the Company towards the former owners of the acquire and the investments in the equities issued by the Company in exchange for the control over the obtained entity. The costs related to the purchase are, in general, recognized in profit or loss when incurred.
As of the purchase date, the purchased identifiable assets and the undertaken liabilities are recognized at their fair value at the purchase date, except for assets held for sale, in accordance with IFRS 5, which are recognised according to the standard.
Goodwill is measured as the positive difference between the transferred consideration, the value of any non-controlling interests in the obtained entity, the fair value at the date of purchasing the investment in the equities previously held by the acquirer in the acquired entity (if any), and the net values at the date of purchasing the identifiable assets purchased and the liabilities undertaken. If the difference mentioned above is negative, it is recognized in profit or loss as gains from a bargain purchase.
Non-controlling interests which represent investments in equity and entitle the holders to a proportional share of the entity's net assets in case of liquidation can be measured either according to the fair value or according to the proportional share of the noncontrolling interests of the recognized values of the net assets of the obtained entity. The measurement basis is chosen depending on the transaction. Other types of non-controlling interests are measured at fair value or, when applicable, according to the basis specified in other IFRS standards.
When the consideration transferred by the Group in a business combination includes assets or liabilities resulted from a commitment with a contingent consideration, the contingent consideration is measured at the fair value at the date of purchase and it is included as a part of the consideration transferred in a business combination. The amendments to the fair value of the contingent consideration which are qualified as adjustments of the measurement period are adjusted retroactively against goodwill. The adjustments of the measurement period are adjustments that arise from additional information during the "measurement period" (which cannot exceed a year from the purchase date) concerning the facts and circumstances existing at the date of purchase.
The subsequent accounting of the changes in fair value of the contingent consideration which is not included in the adjustments for the assessment period depends on the manner in which it is classified. The contingent consideration classified as equity is not revalued at subsequent reporting dates. The contingent consideration classified as asset or liability is revalued at subsequent reporting dates in accordance with IFRS 9, the corresponding gain or loss being recognized in profit or loss.
When a business combination is performed in stages, the investment into the equities held previously by the Company in the obtained entity is remeasured at fair value at purchase date (i.e. the Group obtains control) and the resulted gains or losses, if any, is recognized in profit and loss. The values resulting from interests in the entity obtained prior to the date of purchase which were previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified in profit and loss on the same basis that would be required if the acquirer had directly disposed of the previously held investment in equities.
If the initial accounting of a business combination is incomplete at the end of the reporting period when the combination takes place, the Company reports temporary values for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. These temporary values are adjusted during the measurement period (see above), or additional assets or liabilities are recognized, to reflect the new information obtained concerning the facts and circumstances existing at the date of purchase which, if recognized, would have influenced the values recognized at the respective date.
The goodwill generated by a business combination is accounted for at cost as determined at the purchase date minus the cumulated impairment losses, if any. For the purpose of the impairment test, the goodwill is allocated to each cash generating unit of the group (or to the groups of cash generating units) which are expected to benefit from the combination's synergies. A cash generating unit that was allocated goodwill is tested annually for impairment or more often when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable value of the cash generating unit is lower than its book value, the impairment is allocated, first of all, to decrease the book value of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other unit assets, proportionally to the book value of each asset in the unit. Any goodwill impairment is recognized directly in profit and loss. The impairment recognized for goodwill cannot be reversed in the following periods.
At the sale date of the relevant cash generating unit, the attributable value of goodwill is included in determining the gains or losses from the sale.
Intangible assets purchased as part of a business combination and recognized separately from the goodwill are recognized initially at their fair value at the purchase date (which is considered as their cost), less assets, liabilities and the result, classified as held for sale as per the requirements of IFRS 5, recognised according to the standard regulations. Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets purchased as part of a business combination are presented at cost minus the accumulated amortization and the cumulated impairment loss on the same basis as intangible assets that are purchased separately.
An intangible asset is derecognized upon disposal or when no other future economic benefits are expected to be obtained from is use or disposal. Gains or losses resulted from the derecognition of an intangible asset, measured as difference between the net receipts from the sale and the book value of the asset, are recognized in statement of comprehensive income.
Long-term assets held for sale are recognized at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell and depreciation of those assets.
The Group classifies a non-current asset (or a group of assets) as held for sale if its carrying amount will be hedged, primarily as a result of a sale transaction, rather than as a result of continued use. To this end, the asset (or group of assets) must be available for immediate sale in its current state, exclusively under normal and current conditions of sale existing for such assets (or groups of assets), and the sale of the asset must present a high degree of certainty.
In order for the sale of the asset to have a high probability, the appropriate management level must have drawn up a plan for the sale of the asset (or group of assets), and an effective buyer identification program must have been initiated, as well as finalization of the sales plan. Moreover, the asset (or group of assets) must be able to be sold in an active market at a price that is reasonably related to the current fair value. In addition, the sale is expected to qualify for recognition as a "closed, completed sale" within 1 year from the date of classification, and the actions required to complete the sale plan reflect the fact that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will occur, or the plan will be withdrawn.
When the Group implements a sale plan that involves the loss of control over a subsidiary, all its assets and liabilities are classified as held for sale, regardless of whether the Group will continue to hold minority interests in the subsidiary after the sale.
In the current year, the Group applied a number of amendments to IFRS Accounting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) that are mandatorily effective for reporting period that begins on or after 1 January 2024:
The adoption of these amendments to the existing standards has not led to any material changes in the financial statements of Teraplast Group.
At present, IFRS as adopted by the EU do not significantly differ from regulations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) except for the following new standards and amendments to the existing standards, which were not endorsed for use in EU as at the date of publication of these financial statements (the effective dates stated below is for IFRS as issued by IASB):
At the date of authorization of these financial statements, the Group did not apply the following revised IFRS Accounting Standards issued but not yet effective: Amendments to IAS 21: Lack of convertibility.
The Teraplast Group anticipates that the adoption of these new standards and amendments to the existing standards will have no material impact on the financial statements of the Group in the period of initial application.
Hedge accounting for a portfolio of financial assets and liabilities whose principles have not been adopted by the EU remains unregulated.
According to the Group's estimates, the application of hedge accounting to a portfolio of financial assets or liabilities pursuant to IAS 39: "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement" would not significantly impact the financial statements, if applied as at the balance sheet date.
Cash and cash equivalents include liquid assets and other equivalent values, comprising cash at bank, petty cash.
The TeraPlast Group is the largest polymer processor in the EEC.
The TeraPlast Group is one of the largest Romanian business groups, with more than 125 years of tradition and vast expertise in the processing of polymers. The Group has a solid history of growth and innovation.
Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Group is entitled in contracts with customers. The point of recognition arises when the Group satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a promised good or service that is distinct to the customer, which is at a point in time for finished goods and merchandise and over time for services provided.
Revenues from the sale of goods and merchandise are recognized at a certain point in time, when the products are delivered to the customers or readily available for the buyer. The payment terms are – in general – between 30 and 120 days from the date of issuing the invoice and delivering the goods. The contracts with the customers for sales of finished goods and merchandise imply one obligation: to deliver the goods at the agreed location (under the agreed INCOTERMS). In rare cases, when the Group's distributors request, the Group enters into bill-and-hold arrangement, for which revenue is recognized when the goods are invoiced and the specific instructions from the clients to store the goods on their behalf for a certain period are received.
If the consideration promised in a contract includes a variable component, the Group estimates the value of the consideration it would be entitled to, in exchange for the transfer of the goods or services promised to a customer. The value of a consideration may vary as a result of discounts.
The Group grants volume discounts to certain customers, depending on the objectives set through the contract, which decrease the amount owed by the customer. The Group applies consistently a single method during the contract, when it estimates the effect of an uncertainty over a value of the variable consideration, using the method of the most likely value – the single most likely value in a range of possible values of the consideration (namely, the single most likely result of the contract). This is an adequate estimate of the value of the variable consideration if the contract has two possible results (such as, a customer either obtains a volume / turnover rebate or not).
As a practical solution, if the Group receives short-term advances from customers, it does not adjust the received amounts for the effects of a significant financing components, because – at the beginning of the contract – it foresees that the period between the transfer of the assets and their receipt will be below 1 year.
For certain products, the Group offers the warranties which are required by the law to protect the customers from the risk of acquiring malfunctioning products. The Group assessed that these do not represent a separate performance obligation and are accounted in accordance with IAS 37 (warranty provisions). Furthermore, a law that requires an entity to pay a compensation if its products cause damage or injuries does not represent a performance obligation for the Group either.
When the Group carries out its obligations by transferring goods or services to a client, prior to it paying a consideration or prior to the maturity of the payment, the Group recognises the contract as an asset related to the contract, excluding any amounts presented as receivables.
Upon receiving an advance payment from a customer, the Group recognizes a liability related to the contract at the value of the advance payment for its obligation to execute, transfer or be ready to transfer goods or services in the future. Subsequently, that liability related to the contract (corroborated with the recognition of revenues) is derecognized when the respective goods or services are transferred and, consequently, the Group fulfils its execution obligation.
Income from dividends related to investments are recognized when the shareholders' right to receive them is determined.
The interest income presented on the face of the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income is similar to interest income and is included in finance income in the statement of profit or loss.
The Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease, at inception of the contract. The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease arrangements in which it is the lessee, except for short-term leases (defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low value assets. For these leases, the Group recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term. The Group leases warehouses and property that is uses for show rooms and vehicles.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted by using the rate implicit in the lease. If this rate cannot be readily determined, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the fixed lease payments and the exercise price of purchase options, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the options, in case of vehicles.
The lease liability is presented under the line "Lease liabilities" in the consolidated statement of financial position. The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability (using the effective interest method) and by reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made.
The Group remeasures the lease liability (and makes a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use asset) whenever:
The right-of-use assets comprise the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, lease payments made at or before the commencement day, less any lease incentives received and plus any initial direct costs. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Whenever the Group incurs an obligation for costs to dismantle and remove a leased asset, restore the site on which it is located or restore the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease, a provision is recognised and measured under IAS 37. To the extent that the costs relate to a right-of-use asset, the costs are included in the related right-of-use asset, unless those costs are incurred to produce inventories. Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter period of lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. If a lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Group expects to exercise a purchase option, the related right-of-use asset is depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset. The depreciation starts at the commencement date of the lease. The right-of-use assets are presented as a separate line in the consolidated statement of financial position. The Group applies IAS 36 to determine whether a right-of-use asset is impaired and accounts for any identified impairment loss as described in the 'Property, Plant and Equipment' policy.
The Group does not act as lessor.
For the preparation of the Group's financial statements, transactions in other currencies (foreign currencies) than the functional one are registered at the exchange rate in force at the date of transaction. Each month, and at each balance sheet date, monetary items denominated in foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate in force at those dates.
Monetary assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currency at the end of the year are translated into RON at the exchange rate valid at the end of the year. Unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of comprehensive income.
The RON exchange rate for 1 unit of the foreign currency:
| 31 December 2024 |
31 December 2023 |
|
|---|---|---|
| EUR 1 | 4.9741 | 4.9746 |
| USD 1 | 4.7768 | 4.4958 |
| CHF 1 | 5.2806 | 5.3666 |
Non-monetary items which are measured at historic cost in a foreign currency are not translated back.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the asset until they are ready for its intended use or for sale.
All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur.
The amortized cost for the financial assets and liabilities is calculated using the effective interest rate. The amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate.
Government grants are not recognized until there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attached conditions will be complied with by the Group.
The Government grants the main condition of which is that the Group acquire, build or obtain otherwise long-term assets are recognized as deferred income in the statement of financial position and presented as 'investment subsidies'. The deferred income is amortized in the statement of comprehensive income systematically and reasonably over the useful life of the related assets or at the time the assets acquired from the subsidy are retired or disposed of.
Based on the collective labour contract, the Group is under the obligation to pay retirement benefits to its employees depending on their seniority within the Group, amounting to 2 - 3.5 salaries. The Group also grants jubilee bonuses as a fixed amount on work anniversaries.
The Group uses an external actuary to compute the value of the retirement benefits and jubilees related liability and reviews the value of this liability each year depending on the employees' seniority within the Group. The value of the retirement benefits and jubilees is recognized as a provision in the statement of financial position.
Remeasurements comprising actuarial gains and losses are recognised immediately in the statement of financial position with a charge or credit to other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Remeasurements recognised in other comprehensive income are not reclassified. Past service cost is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income when the plan amendment or curtailment occurs, or when the Group recognises related restructuring costs or termination benefits, if earlier. Gains or losses on settlement of a defined benefit plan are recognised when the settlement occurs. Net interest is calculated by applying a discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. Defined benefit costs are split into three categories:
The retirement benefit obligation recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position represents the deficit or surplus in the Group's defined benefit plans. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.
The adjustments resulting from the annually review of the jubilee provisions are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income.
The retirement benefits provision is reversed in the statement of comprehensive income when the Group settles the obligation.
A liability is recognised for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave in the period the related service is rendered at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for that service. Liabilities recognised in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related service.
Income tax expense is the sum of the current tax and deferred tax.
Current tax is based on the taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit is different than the profit reported in statement of comprehensive income, because it excludes the revenue and expense items which are taxable or deductible in other years and it also excludes the items which are never taxable or deductible. The Group's current tax liability is computed using the taxation rates in force or substantially in force at the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax is recognized over the difference between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding fiscal bases used in the computation of taxable income and it is determined by using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences, while deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences as well as tax losses and credits carried forward in the extent in which it is likely to have taxable income over which to use those temporary deductible differences. Such assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from initial recognition (other than from a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable income, nor the accounting income (and this is assumed as applicable for example in case of initial recognition of a lease contract by a lessee). In addition, a deferred tax liability is not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for temporary taxable differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and in joint ventures, except for the cases in which the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is likely for the temporary difference not to be reversed in the foreseeable future. The deferred tax assets resulted from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are recognized only in the extent in which it is likely for sufficient taxable income to exist on which to use the benefits related to temporary differences and it is estimated that they will be reversed in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and it is decreased to the extent in which it is not likely for sufficient taxable income to exist to allow the full or partial recovery of the asset.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the taxation rates estimated to be applied during the period when the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on the taxation rates (and tax laws) in force or entering into force substantially until the balance sheet date. The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities reflects the tax consequences of the manner in which the Group estimates, as of the balance sheet date, that it will recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority and the Group intends to offset its deferred tax assets with its deferred tax liabilities on a net basis.
Current tax and deferred tax is recognized as income or expense in the statement of comprehensive income, except for the cases which refer to items credited or debited directly in other comprehensive income, case in which the tax is also recognized directly in other comprehensive income or except for the cases in which they arise from the initial accounting of a business combination.
Tangible assets, except for land and buildings, are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and / or accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of the plant and equipment and borrowing costs for long-term construction projects if the recognition criteria are met. When significant parts of plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Group depreciates them separately based on their specific useful lives. Likewise, when a major repair is performed, its cost is recognized in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income as incurred.
The present value of the expected cost for the decommissioning of an asset after its use is included in the cost of the respective asset if the recognition criteria for a provision are met.
Land and buildings are measured at fair value less accumulated depreciation on buildings and impairment losses recognized at the date of revaluation. Valuations are performed with sufficient frequency to ensure that the carrying amount of a revalued asset does not differ materially from its fair value. Accumulated depreciation as of the revaluation date is eliminated from the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount is restated at the revaluated value of the asset.
A revaluation surplus is recorded in other comprehensive income and credited to the asset revaluation surplus in equity. However, to the extent that it reverses a revaluation deficit of the same asset previously recognized in the statement of comprehensive income, the increase is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income. A revaluation deficit is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income of the period, except to the extent that it offsets an existing surplus on the same asset recognized in the asset revaluation reserve.
Upon disposal, any revaluation reserve relating to the concerned asset being sold is transferred to retained earnings.
A tangible asset item and any significant part recognized initially are derecognized upon disposal or when no economic benefits are expected from their use or disposal. Any gain or earning resulting from the derecognition of an asset (calculated as the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the statement of comprehensive income when the asset is derecognized.
The residual value, the useful life and the methods of depreciation are reviewed at the end of each financial year and adjusted retrospectively, if appropriate.
Constructions in progress for production or administrative purposes is registered at historical cost, less impairment. The depreciation of these assets starts when the assets are ready to be used.
Plant and machinery is registered in the financial position statement at their historic value adjusted to the effect of hyperinflation until 31 December 2003, according to IAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies decreased by the subsequently accumulated depreciation and other impairment losses, if any.
Depreciation is registered so as to decrease the cost or revalued amount of the asset to its residual value other than the land and investments in progress, along their estimated useful life, using the straight-line basis. The estimated useful lives, the residual values and the depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each year, having as effect changes in future accounting estimates.
Assets held in finance lease are depreciated over the useful life, similarly to assets held or, if the lease period is shorter, during the respective lease contract.
Maintenance and repairs of tangible assets are included as expenses when they occur and significant improvements to tangible assets which increase their value or useful life or which significantly increase their capacity to generate economic benefits, are capitalized.
The following useful lives are used for the computation of depreciation.
| Years | |
|---|---|
| Buildings | 20 – 50 |
| Plant and equipment | 3 – 15 |
| Vehicles under finance lease | 5 – 6 |
| Installations and furniture | 3 – 10 |
Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at fair value, which reflects market conditions at the reporting date. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair values of investment properties are included in the statement of comprehensive income in the period in which they arise, including the corresponding tax effect. Fair values are determined based on an annual evaluation performed by an accredited external independent valuator applying a valuation model recommended by the International Valuation Standards Committee.
Investment properties are derecognized either when they have been disposed of or when they are permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from their disposal.
Transfers are made to or from investment property only when there is a change in use. For a transfer from investment property to owner-occupied property, the deemed cost for subsequent accounting is the fair value at the date of change in use. If owneroccupied property becomes an investment property, the Group accounts for such property in accordance with the policy stated under property, plant and equipment up to the date of change in use.
Intangible assets purchased separately are reported at cost minus accumulated amortization/impairment losses. Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination are capitalized at fair value as at the date of acquisition.
Following initial recognition, intangible assets, which have finite useful lives, are carried at cost or initial fair value less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.
Amortization is computed through the straight-line basis over the useful life. The estimated useful lives, the residual values and the amortization method are reviewed at the end of each year, and adjusted as necessary, having as effect changes in future accounting estimates.
The following useful lives are used for the computation of amortization:
| Years |
|---|
| 1 – 5 |
| 20 |
| 20 |
The Group assesses at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If there is such an indication, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated to determine the size of the impairment loss. When it is impossible to assess the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group assesses the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit which the asset belongs to. Where a consistent distribution basis can be identified, the Group assets are also allocated to other separate cash generating units or to the smallest group of cash generating units for which a consistent allocation basis can be identified.
Intangible assets having indefinite useful lives and intangible assets which are not yet available to be used are tested for impairment annually and whenever there is an indication that it is possible for the asset to be impaired.
An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's or cash-generating unit's (CGU) fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. When measuring the value in use, the future estimated cash flows are settled at the current value using a discount rate prior to taxation which reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the specific risks of the asset, for which future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable value of an asset (or of a cash generating unit) is estimated as being lower than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (of the cash generating unit) is reduced to the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in the statement of comprehensive income, except for revalued assets for which there is a revaluation that can be decreased with the impairment loss.
If an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset (of the cash generating unit) is increased to the reviewed estimation of its recoverable value, but so as the reviewed carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount which would have been determined had any impairment loss not been recognized for the respective asset (cash generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in the statement of comprehensive income.
A revaluation surplus is recognized as an item of comprehensive income and credited to the asset's revaluation reserves, except for the cases in which a decrease in value was previously recognized in profit and loss for a revalued asset, case in which the surplus can be recognized in profit and loss within the limit of this prior decrease.
Goodwill is tested for impairment at the same level as the goodwill is monitored by management for internal reporting purposes, which is at the individual cash generating unit level. In case of a cash generating unit with allocated goodwill, any impairment loss first adjusts the goodwill.
Goodwill is subject to impairment testing on an annual basis and at any time during the year if an indicator of impairment is considered to exist. Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized in the profit or loss. Impairment losses arising in respect of goodwill are not reversed following recognition.
The inventories are registered at the lowest value between cost and the net realizable value. The net realizable value is the selling price estimated for the inventories minus all estimated costs for completion and the costs related to the sale. Costs, including a portion related to fixed and variable indirect costs are allocated to inventories held through the method most appropriate for the respective class of inventories.
Raw materials are valued at the purchase price including transport, handling costs and net of trade discounts.
Work in progress, semi-finished goods and finished goods are carried at actual cost consisting of direct materials, direct labour and directly attributable production overheads and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition using the standard cost method. Standard costs take into account normal levels of consumption of materials and supplies, labour, efficiency and capacity utilisation. They are regularly reviewed and, if necessary, revised in the light of current conditions.
For the following classes of inventories, the average weighted cost method is used: the raw material for pipes / piping, merchandise, inventory items / small tools, packaging materials, consumables.
A provision is made, where necessary, in all inventory categories for slow moving, used or non-compliant items.
Common shares are classified in equity.
At the redemption of the Group shares the paid amount will decrease equity belonging to the holders of the company's equity, through retained earnings, until they are cancelled or reissued. When these shares are subsequently reissued, the received amount (net of transaction costs and of income tax effects) is recognized in equity belonging to the holders of the Group's equity.
Dividends related to ordinary shares are recognized as liability to the shareholders in the consolidated financial statements in the period in which they are approved by the Group shareholders. Interim dividends on ordinary shares are recognized when they are paid.
Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required from the Group to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the respective obligation.
The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the amount necessary to settle the current obligation as of the balance sheet date, considering the risks and uncertainties related to the obligation. If a provision is measured using the estimated cash flows necessary for settling the present obligation, the carrying amount is the present value of the respective cash flows.
The Group's accounting policy for identifying segments is based on internal management reporting information that is routinely reviewed by the Board of Administration and management. The measurement policies used for the segment reporting under IFRS 8 are the same as those used in the consolidated financial statements. Segment results that are reported to the directors and management include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. The Group has determined that it has four operating segments: Installations (systems for sewage, water and gas), recycled micronized PVC produced by TeraPlast Recycling, which is raw material for the PVC pipes), Compounds and PVC windows and doors and Flexible packaging.
Each segment includes similar products, with similar production processes, with similar distribution and supply channels.
Installations for infrastructure projects are sold to contractors and installations for residential buildings are sold through a distribution network.
PVC windows and doors are produced and sold by TeraGlass, mostly in European DYI chains.
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
(a) Financial assets
The Group's financial assets include cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and long-term investments.
A financial asset is classified as measured at amortized cost or fair value with any movement being reflected through other comprehensive income or the statement of comprehensive income.
The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset's contractual cash flow characteristics and the Group's business model for managing them. With the exception of trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Group has applied the practical expedient, the Group initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through the statement of comprehensive income, transaction costs. Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Group has applied the practical expedient are measured at the transaction price determined under IFRS 15. Refer to the accounting policies in section 2.5.2 Revenues from contracts with customers.
The Group's business model for managing financial assets refers to how it manages its financial assets in order to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting contractual cash flows, selling the financial assets, or both.
Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognized on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset.
On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Group may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment's fair value in other comprehensive income. This election is made on an investment by-investment basis.
For purposes of subsequent measurement, the Group's financial assets are classified in three categories:
Financial assets designated at fair value through OCI with no recycling of cumulative gains and losses upon derecognition (equity instruments).
The classification of the investments depends on their nature and purpose and it is determined as of the initial recognition. Financial liabilities include finance lease liabilities, interest bearing bank loans, overdrafts and trade and other payables.
Two measurement categories continue to exist, fair value through the statement of comprehensive income and amortized cost. Financial liabilities held for trading are measured at fair value through the statement of comprehensive income, and all other financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost unless the fair value option is applied.
Financial instruments are classified as liabilities or equity according to the nature of the contractual arrangement. Interest, dividends, gains and losses related to a financial instrument classified as liability are reported as expense. Distributions to the holders of financial instruments classified as equity are registered directly in equity. Financial instruments are offset when the Group has a legal applicable right to offset them and it intends to offset them either on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability at the same time.
The Group recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on trade receivables. The amount of expected credit losses is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition of the respective financial instrument.
For trade receivables, a simplified approach is adopted in which impairment losses are recognized based on lifetime expected credit losses at each reporting date. If there are loan insurances or guarantees for the outstanding balances, the computation of expected losses from receivables is based on the probability of default related to the insurer / guarantor for the insured / guaranteed portion of the outstanding balance, while the amount remaining not covered will have the counterparty's probability of default. The Group has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment.
Clients' credit risk is updated constantly. In assessing the IFRS 9 allowance, the Group uses the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument at the reporting date.
In making the credit risk assessment, the Group considers both quantitative and qualitative information that is reasonable and supportable, including historical experience and forward-looking information that is available without undue cost or effort.
In particular, the following information is taken into account when assessing the credit risk deterioration of debtors:
For trade receivables the Company is using the simplified model allowed by IFRS 9 which does not differentiate between Stage 1 and Stage 2. Credit losses are measured based on provision matrix.
A financial instrument is determined to have low credit risk if:
The Group considers a financial asset to have low credit risk when the asset has external credit rating of 'investment grade' in accordance with the globally understood definition or if an external rating is not available, the asset has an internal rating of 'performing'. Performing means that the counterparty has a strong financial position and there is no past due amounts.
The Group regularly monitors the effectiveness of the criteria used to identify whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk and revises them as appropriate to ensure that the criteria are capable of identifying significant increase in credit risk before the amount becomes past due.
The Group considers the following as constituting an event of default for internal credit risk management purposes as historical experience indicates that financial assets that meet either of the following criteria are generally not recoverable:
Irrespective of the above analysis, the Group considers that default has occurred when a financial asset is more than 60 days past due unless the Group has reasonable and supportable information to demonstrate that a more lagging default criterion is more appropriate.
Any recoveries made to doubtful receivables are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, together with the reversal of the allowance.
The Group writes off a financial asset when bankruptcy was finalized, as at this point the VAT on these receivables can be recovered. Financial assets written off may no longer be subject to enforcement activities.
The measurement of expected credit losses is a function of the probability of default, loss given default (i.e. the magnitude of the loss if there is a default) and the exposure at default. The assessment of the probability of default is based on the risk rating of each client obtained from independent parties, adjusted, if the case with forward-looking information as described above.
As for the exposure at default, for financial assets, this is represented by the assets' gross carrying amount at the reporting date.
The Group recognises an impairment gain or loss in the statement of comprehensive income for all financial instruments with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance accounts.
The Group derecognizes financial assets only when the contractual rights over the cash flows related to the assets expire or it transfers to another entity the financial asset and, substantially, all risks and benefits related to the asset.
The Group derecognizes financial liabilities only if the Group's liabilities have been significantly modified, paid, cancelled or they have expired.
The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. Similarly, the Group accounts for substantial modification of terms of an existing liability or part of it as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new liability.
It is assumed that the terms are substantially different if the discounted present value of the cash flows under the new terms, including any fees paid net of any fees received and discounted using the original effective rate is at least 10 per cent different from the discounted present value of the remaining cash flows of the original financial liability. If the modification is not substantial, the difference between: (1) the carrying amount of the liability before the modification; and (2) the present value of the cash flows after modification is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as the modification gain or loss within other gains and losses.
An entity measures financial instruments and non-financial assets, such as investment property, at fair value at each balance sheet date. Also, the fair values of financial instruments measured at amortized cost are presented in Note 24 j).
The fair value of the freehold land was determined based on the market comparable approach that reflects recent transaction prices for similar properties.
The fair value of the buildings was determined using the cost approach that reflects the cost to a market participant to construct assets of comparable utility and age, adjusted for obsolescence.
The fair value of the investment property was determined based on the market comparable approach that reflects recent transaction prices for similar properties.
There has been no change to the valuation technique during the year for none of the above-mentioned classes of assets. There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 during the year.
For all of the above, the level in which fair value measurement is categorised is Level 2.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
An entity uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
External valuators are involved for valuation of significant assets, such as investment property and available for sale financial assets. Involvement of external valuators is decided upon annually by the management. Selection criteria include market knowledge, reputation, independence and professional standards, if they are specified.
At each reporting date, Group's management analyses the movements in the values of assets and liabilities which are required to be re-measured or re-assessed as per the Group's accounting policies.
Group's management, in conjunction with the entity's external valuators, also compares the change in the fair value of each asset and liability with relevant external sources to determine whether the change is reasonable.
For the purpose of the notes and fair value disclosures, the Group has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires the performance of estimates and judgments by the management, which affects the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the presentation of potential assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results may be different from these estimates. The estimates and judgments on which these are based are reviewed permanently. The reviews of the accounting estimates are recognized during the period in which the estimate is reviewed, if this review affects only the respective period or during the review period and during future periods, if the review affects both the current period and the future periods.
In the process of applying the Group accounting policies, management has made the following judgments, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements:
To determine whether the impairment related to an intangible or tangible asset must be recognized, significant judgment is needed. To take this decision, for each cash generating unit (CGU), the Group compares the carrying amount of these intangible or tangible assets, to the higher of the CGU fair value less costs to sell and its value in use, which will be generated by the intangible and tangible assets of the cash generating units over the remaining useful life. The recoverable amount used by the Group for each cash generating unit for impairment measuring purposes was represented by its value in use.
The Group analysed the internal and external sources of information and reached the conclusion that there are no indications concerning the impairment of assets, except for goodwill related to the roof tiles business. When reviewing for indicators of impairment, the Group considers, among other factors:
As a result, the Group decided not to carry an impairment analysis for the recoverable amount of tangible assets, under IAS 36. Therefore, an allowance for asset impairment proved not to be necessary.
The main assumptions regarding future sources and other key sources of uncertainty in the estimates at the reporting date, which present a significant risk of causing a significant adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the next financial year, are described below. The Group based its assumptions and estimates on the parameters available in preparing the separate financial statements. However, existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments may change due to market changes or circumstances beyond the Group's control. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.
The Group measures investment property at fair value, with changes in fair value being recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.
The Group measures land and buildings at revalued amounts with changes in fair value being recognized in other comprehensive income.
The land and buildings were revalued for financial reporting purposes at December 31, 2024 and investment property were revalued at December 31, 2024.

When determining the recoverability of a receivable, the Group takes into consideration any change in the crediting quality of the concerned receivable starting with the credit granting date until the reporting date. The concentration of the credit risk is limited taking into consideration that the client base is large and they are not related to each other.
An allowance for impairment is recorded for the full amount of trade receivables overdue for more than 60 days.
The measurement of expected credit losses is a function of the probability of default, loss given default (i.e. the magnitude of the loss if there is a default) and the exposure at default. The assessment of the probability of default is based on the risk rating of each client obtained from independent parties, adjusted, if the case with forward-looking information as described above.
As for the exposure at default, for financial assets, this is represented by the assets' gross carrying amount at the reporting date. The Group's receivables are pledged in full in favour of the financing banks.

Teraplast SA has set provisions for sundry expenses related to environmental protection and tax liabilities, being probable that certain obligations generated by prior events of the entity would determine an outflow of resources.
The Group has established a benefits plan through which employees are entitled to receive retirement benefits based on their seniority in the Group, upon reaching retirement age. There are no other post-retirement benefits for employees. The provision represents the current value of the retirement benefit liability calculated on an actuarial basis.
The latest actuarial valuations were performed on 31 December 2024 by Mr. Silviu Matei, a member of the Romanian Actuaries Institute. The Group's management considered that the values revealed by the report at 31 December 2024 are insignificantly different from the values at 31 December 2023 and decided not to change the already registered provision. Changes registered in 2024 represent additions from the acquisition of Group Freiler.
The current value of the defined benefit liabilities and the current and past cost of the related services were measured using the projected credit unit method.

In the normal course of business, the Group has exposure to a variety of financial risks, including foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk and credit risk, market risk, geographic risk, but also operating risks and legal risks. The Group's focus is to understand these risks and to put in place policies that minimize the economic impact of an adverse event on the Group's performance. Meetings are held on a regular basis to review the result of the risk assessment, approve recommended risk management strategies and monitor the effectiveness of such policies.
The main objectives of the financial risk management activity are to determine the risk limits and then to ensure that the exposure to risks is maintained between these limits. The management of operating and legal risks is aimed at guaranteeing the good functioning of the internal policies and procedures for minimizing operating and legal risks.
The Group measures trade receivable and other financial assets at amortized cost.

The Group manages its capital to ensure that the entities within the Group will be able to continue their activity and, at the same time, maximize revenues for the shareholders, by optimizing the balance of liabilities and equity.
The structure of the Group capital consists in debts, which include the loans detailed in Note 21, the cash and cash equivalents and the equity attributable to equity holders of the parent Group. Equity includes the share capital, reserves and retained earnings.
Managing the Group's risks also includes a regular analysis of the capital structure. As part of the same analysis, management considers the cost of capital and the risks associated to each class of capital. Based on the management recommendations, the Group may balance its general capital structure through the payment of dividends, by issuing new shares and repurchasing shares, as well as by contracting new liabilities and settling the existing ones.
Just as other industry representatives, the Group monitors the capital based on the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. The net debt is represented by the total loans (including long-term and short-term loans as detailed on the balance sheet) less the cash and cash equivalents. Total capital represents "equity", as detailed on the balance sheet plus the net debt.
The gearing ratio as at 31 December 2024 and 2023 was as follows:
| 2024 | 2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| Bank loans and finance lease payables | 323,886,759 | 252,540,069 |
| Less cash and cash equivalents | (32,415,724) | (18,879,289) |
| Net debt | 291,471,035 | 233,660,780 |
| Total equity | 436,882,755 | 312,680,694 |
| Total equity and net debt | 728,353,790 | 546,341,474 |
| Gearing ratio | 40% | 43% |
The details on the main accounting policies and methods adopted, including the recognition criteria, measurement basis and revenue and expenses recognition basis, concerning each class of financial assets, financial liabilities and capital instruments are presented in Note 2 to the financial statements.
The treasury department of the Company provides services needed for the activity, coordinates the access to the national financial market, monitors and manages the financial risks related to the Group operations by way of reports on the internal risks, which analyse the exposure to and extent of the risks.
These risks include the market risk (including the foreign currency risk, fair value interest rate risk and the price risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow interest rate risk.
The Group's activities expose it primarily to the financial risks related to the fluctuation of the exchange rates (see (d) below) and of the interest rate (see [f] below).
The Group management continuously monitors its exposure to risks. However, the use of this approach does not protect the Group from the occurrence of potential losses beyond the foreseeable limits in case of significant fluctuations on the market. There was no change from the prior year in relation to the Group's exposure to the market risks or to how the Group manages and measures its risks.
There are two types of foreign currency risk to which the Company is exposed, namely transaction risk and translation risk. The objective of the Company's foreign currency risk management strategy is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters.
| TOTAL | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Profit or (loss) | (6,847,192) | 6,847,192 |
This arises because operating units have input costs or sales in currencies other than their functional currencies. In addition, where operating entities carry monetary assets and liabilities at year end denominated other than in their functional currency, their translation at the year-end rates of exchange into their functional currency will give rise to foreign currency gains and losses. The exposures to the exchange rate are managed according to the approved policies.
More than 74% of the Group's sales are in Romania, in RON. Foreign sales are mainly with payment upon delivery. Thus, the Group's exposure to foreign exchange risk from transactions with foreign customers is immaterial.
This is due to the fact that the Group is engaged in operations that do not use the functional currency, i.e. RON, which is the Group's presentation currency. Exchange rate changes between the reporting currencies of these operations and the RON have an impact on the Group's consolidated reported result.
The interest-bearing assets of the Group, the revenues, and the cash flows from operating activities are exposed to the fluctuations of market interest rates. The Group's interest rate risk relates to its bank loans. The loans with variable interest rate, expose the Group to the cash flow interest rate risk due to fluctuation of ROBOR for the other loans with variable interest rate.
The Group continuously monitors its exposure to the interest rate risk. These include simulating various scenarios, including the refinancing, discounting current positions, financing alternatives. Based on these scenarios, the Group estimates the potential impact of determined fluctuations in the interest rate on the profit and loss account. For each simulation, the same interest rate fluctuation is used for all models. These scenarios are only prepared for the debts representing the main interest-bearing positions.
The Group is exposed to the interest rate risk taking into account that the Company entities borrow funds both at fixed, and at floating interest rates. The risk is managed by the Group by maintaining a optimal balance between fixed rate and floating rate interest loans.
The Group is not exposed to the equity price risks arising from equity investments. The financial investments are held for strategic purposes rather than commercial ones and are not significant. The Group does not actively trade these investments.
The Group has adopted a policy of performing transactions with trustworthy parties, parties that have been assessed in respect of the credit quality, taking into account its financial position, past experience and other factors, and additionally, obtaining guarantees or advance payments, if applicable, as a means of decreasing the financial losses caused by breaches of contracts. The Group exposure and the credit ratings of third parties to contracts are monitored by the management.
The Group's maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying value of each financial asset. The credit risk relates to the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations causing financial losses to the Company.
Trade receivables are from a high number of clients from different industries and geographical areas. The permanent credit assessment is performed in relation to the clients' financial condition and, when appropriate, a credit insurance is concluded.
The Group has policies limiting the value of the exposure for any financial institution.
The carrying amount of receivables, net of the provision for receivables, plus the cash and cash equivalents, are the maximum amount exposed to the credit risk. Although the receivable collection could be influenced by economic factors, the management considers there is no significant loss risk for the Group, beyond the provisions already recorded.
The Group considers the exposure to the credit risk in relation to a counterparty or a group of similar counterparties by analysing the receivables individually and making impairment adjustments. The Company had more than four thousand clients in 2024, with the highest exposure on one client being 5% (2023: 5%).
The Group manages the liquidity risks by maintaining appropriate reserves, bank facilities and reserve loan facilities, by continuously monitoring actual cash flows and by correlating the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. Each Group company prepares annual and short-term cash flows (weekly, monthly and quarterly). Financing needs for working capital are determined and contracted based on the budgeted cash flows. Investments projects are approved only with a concrete financing plan.
The financial instruments disclosed on the statement of financial position include trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, short and long-term loans and other debts. The carrying amounts represent the maximum exposure of the Company to the credit risk related to the existing receivables.
Financial liabilities are at their carrying amount which is an approximation to their fair value, due to the fact that the liabilities are at variable interest rates and there are no material initial fees and charges amortized over time.

| KEY AUDIT MATTER | How our audit addressed the key audit matter |
|---|---|
| Financial assets: acquisition of majority stake in Freiler Group (Austria and Hungary), Palplast (Moldova) and Optiplast (Croatia) |
|
| The Company acquired the majority stake of Wolfgang Freiler GmbH & Co KG, Polytech Industries Kft, Sörgyari Ipari Park Kft, ITRACO GmbH and Pro Moulding (hereinafter referred to as "Freiler Group"), Palplast SRL (hereinafter referred to as "PalPlast") and Optiplast d.o.o. (hereinafter referred to as "Optiplast") (collectively hereinafter referred to as "the subsidiaries"). The Company exercises control over the subsidiaries and consolidates their financial statements as of 1 January 2024 for Palplast, 1 April 2024 for Freiler Group and 1 December 2024 for Optiplast. The cost of the investment in such subsidiaries at 31 December 2024 is RON 141.6 million. As mentioned in Note 2 to the separate financial statements, the Company presented investments in subsidiaries at cost. Given such treatment, the Company assesses the need for any adjustments for loss of value of the financial assets in subsidiaries. The investment in subsidiaries is presented in Note 14 to the Company's separate financial statements. Given the high degree of professional judgment needed to make an analysis regarding any loss of value of the financial assets in subsidiaries, we have acknowledged such element of the separate financial statements as a key audit matter. |
To address such key audit matter, we have conducted several procedures, such as: • We checked the acquisition of the majority package of shares of the subsidiaries by checking the related contracts, the price allocation reports and the associated payments; • We checked the accuracy of the information disclosed by the Company in the separate financial statements regarding the investment in the subsidiaries. |
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, unless otherwise explicitly mentioned in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
With respect to the Administrators' report, we read it and report if this has been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the provisions of Ministry of Public Finance Order no. 2844/2016 for the approval of accounting regulations conforming with International Financial Reporting Standards, with subsequent amendments.
On the sole basis of the procedures performed within the audit of the separate financial statements, in our opinion:
Moreover, based on our knowledge and understanding concerning the Company and its environment gained during the audit on the financial statements prepared as at December 31, 2024, we are required to report if we have identified a material misstatement of this Administrators' report and the Remuneration report. We have nothing to report in this regard.
With respect to the Remuneration report, we read it to determine if it presents, in all material respects, the information required by article 107, paragraphs (1) and (2) of Law 24/2017 regarding the issuers of financial instruments and market operations, republished. We have nothing to report in this regard.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the separate 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.
We confirm that:
Management is responsible for preparing Digital Files that comply with the ESEF. This responsibility includes:
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the preparation of the Digital Files that comply with ESEF.
(II) Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Digital Files
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on whether the separate financial statements included in the annual financial report complies in all material respects with the requirements of ESEF based on the evidence we have obtained. We conducted our reasonable assurance engagement in accordance with International Standard on Assurance Engagements 3000 (Revised), Assurance Engagements Other than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information (ISAE 3000) issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board.
Our firm applies International Standard on Quality Management 1 ("ISQM1"), and accordingly maintains a comprehensive system of quality control including documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
A reasonable assurance engagement in accordance with ISAE 3000 involves performing procedures to obtain evidence about compliance with ESEF. The nature, timing and extent of procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material departures from the requirements set out in ESEF, whether due to fraud or error. A reasonable assurance engagement includes:
• obtaining an understanding of the Company's process for preparation of the digital files in accordance with ESEF, including relevant internal controls;
We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our conclusion.
In our opinion, the separate financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in the annual financial report in the Digital Files comply in all materials respects with the requirements of ESEF.

In June 2024, the EGMS decided to increase the share capital of Teraplast SA by cash contribution with the maximum amount of RON 22,220,000. The increase was made by issuing 222,200,000 new ordinary shares, with a nominal value of RON 0.1/share.
The purpose of the capital increase is to finance the Company's development plans and current needs.
The subscription process was two-staged: 'the preference period' rolled out during 12.08.2024 – 10.09.2024 and 'the private placement' that took place during 12.09.2024 – 17.09.2024.

Teraplast SA (or the "Company") is a joint stock company established in 1992. The Company's head office is in the "Teraplast Industrial Park", DN 15A (Reghin-Bistrita), km 45+500, Bistrita- Nasaud County, Romania.
TeraPlast produces systems for sewage, water and natural gas transport and distribution, rainwater management systems and for cable protection and PVC plasticised and rigid compounds.
Starting 2 July 2008, Teraplast is listed at the Bucharest Stock Exchange under the symbol TRP.
At 31 December 2023, TeraPlast SA has the following subsidiaries:
Teraplast SA has been preparing consolidated financial statements since 2007. These financial statements are available on the Company website.
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Order no. 2844/2016 approving the Accounting regulations compliant with the International Financial Reporting Standards applicable to trading companies whose securities are admitted to trading on a regulated market, as subsequently amended and clarified ("OMFP 2844/2016"). These provisions are compliant with the provisions of the International Financial Reporting Standards adopted by the European Union ("EU IFRS").
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, according to the historical cost convention, as modified below:
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all years presented in these financial statements, unless otherwise stated.
These financial statements have been prepared under the going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue its activity also in the foreseeable future. In order to assess the applicability of this assumption, management analyses the forecasts concerning future cash inflows.
At 31 December 2024, the Company's current assets exceed the current liabilities by RON 77,986,110 (31 December 2023: RON 94,356,615). In 2024, registered profit of RON 19,723,589 (2023: RON 25,463,670) and cash flows from operating activities (before changes to working capital) of RON 61,586,422 (2022: RON 67,087,107). The Company's dependency on the financing of banks is small.
The budget prepared by the Company management and approved by the Board of Administration for 2025 indicates positive cash flows from operating activities, an increase in sales and profitability which contributes directly to improving liquidity and allows the Company to fulfil its contractual clauses with the financing banks. Company management believes that the support from banks is sufficient for the Company to continue its activity in the ordinary course of business, as a going concern.
Management believes that the Company will be able to continue its activity in the foreseeable future and, consequently, the application of the going concern principle in the preparation of the financial statements is justified.
In the current year, the Group applied a number of amendments to IFRS Accounting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) that are mandatorily effective for reporting period that begins on or after 1 January 2024:
The adoption of these amendments to the existing standards has not led to any material changes in the financial statements of Teraplast Group.
At present, IFRS as adopted by the EU do not significantly differ from regulations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) except for the following new standards and amendments to the existing standards, which were not endorsed for use in EU as at the date of publication of these financial statements (the effective dates stated below is for IFRS as issued by IASB):
At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, the Group did not apply the following revised IFRS Accounting Standards issued but not yet effective: Amendments to IAS 21: Lack of convertibility.
Teraplast anticipates that the adoption of these new standards and amendments to the existing standards will have no material impact on the financial statements of the Company in the period of initial application.
Hedge accounting for a portfolio of financial assets and liabilities whose principles have not been adopted by the EU remains unregulated.
According to the Company's estimates, the application of hedge accounting to a portfolio of financial assets or liabilities pursuant to IAS 39: "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement" would not significantly impact the financial statements, if applied as at the balance sheet date.
Cash and cash equivalents include liquid assets and other equivalent values, comprising cash at bank, petty cash.
Teraplast SA produces and sells PVC pipes and compounds, polypropylene and polyethylene pipes. The Company also sells related products for the water, sewer and gas systems, which it does not produce internally.
Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Company is entitled in contracts with customers. The point of recognition arises when the Group satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a promised good or service that is distinct to the customer, which is at a point in time for finished goods and merchandise and over time for services provided.
Revenues from the sale of goods and merchandise are recognized at a certain point in time, when the products are delivered to the customers or readily available for the buyer. The payment terms are – in general – between 30 and 90 days from the date of issuing the invoice and delivering the goods. The contracts with the customers for sales of finished goods and merchandise imply one obligation: to deliver the goods at the agreed location (under the agreed incoterms). In rare cases, when the Company's distributors request, the Company enters into bill-and-hold arrangement, for which revenue is recognized when the goods are invoiced and the specific instructions from the clients to store the goods on their behalf for a certain period are received.
If the consideration promised in a contract includes a variable component, the Company estimates the value of the consideration it would be entitled to, in exchange for the transfer of the goods or services promised to a customer. The value of a consideration may vary as a result of discounts.
The Company grants volume discounts to certain customers, depending on the objectives set through the contract, which decrease the amount owed by the customer. The Company applies consistently a single method during the contract, when it estimates the effect of an uncertainty over a value of the variable consideration, using the method of the most likely value – the single most likely value in a range of possible values of the consideration (namely, the single most likely result of the contract). This is an adequate estimate of the value of the variable consideration if the contract has two possible results (such as, a customer either obtains a volume / turnover rebate or not).
As a practical expedient, if the Company receives short-term advances from customers, it does not adjust the received amounts for the effects of a significant financing components, because – at the beginning of the contract – it foresees that the period between the transfer of the assets and their receipt will be below 1 year.
For certain products, the Company offers the warranties which are required by the law to protect the customers from the risk of acquiring malfunctioning products. The Group assessed that these do not represent a separate performance obligation and are accounted in accordance with IAS 37 (warranty provisions). Furthermore, a law that requires an entity to pay a compensation if its products cause damage or injuries does not represent a performance obligation for the Company either.
When the Company carries out its obligations by transferring goods or services to a client, prior to it paying a consideration or prior to the maturity of the payment, the Company recognises the contract as an asset related to the contract, excluding any amounts presented as receivables.
Upon receiving an advance payment from a customer, the Company recognizes a liability related to the contract at the value of the advance payment for its obligation to execute, transfer or be ready to transfer goods or services in the future. Subsequently, that liability related to the contract (corroborated with the recognition of revenues) is derecognized when the respective goods or services are transferred and, consequently, the Company fulfils its execution obligation.
Income from dividends related to investments are recognized when the shareholders' right to receive them is determined.
The interest income presented on the face of the separate statement of comprehensive income is similar to interest income and is included in finance income in the statement of profit or loss.
The Company assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease, at inception of the contract. The Company recognises a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease arrangements in which it is the lessee, except for short-term leases (defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low value assets. For these leases, the Company recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term. The Company leases warehouses and property that is uses for show rooms and vehicles.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted by using the rate implicit in the lease. If this rate cannot be readily determined, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the fixed lease payments and the exercise price of purchase options, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the options, in case of vehicles.
The lease liability is presented under the line "Lease liabilities" in the separate statement of financial position. The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability (using the effective interest method) and by reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made.
The Company remeasures the lease liability (and makes a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use asset) whenever:
The right-of-use assets comprise the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, lease payments made at or before the commencement day, less any lease incentives received and plus any initial direct costs. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Whenever the Company incurs an obligation for costs to dismantle and remove a leased asset, restore the site on which it is located or restore the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease, a provision is recognised and measured under IAS 37. To the extent that the costs relate to a right-of-use asset, the costs are included in the related right-ofuse asset, unless those costs are incurred to produce inventories. Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter period of lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. If a lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset or the cost of the right-ofuse asset reflects that the Company expects to exercise a purchase option, the related right-of-use asset is depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset. The depreciation starts at the commencement date of the lease. The right-of-use assets are presented as a separate line in the consolidated statement of financial position. The Group applies IAS 36 to determine whether a right-of-use asset is impaired and accounts for any identified impairment loss as described in the "Property, Plant and Equipment' policy.
The Company enters into lease agreements as a lessor with respect to some of its investment properties.
Leases for which the Company is a lessor are classified as finance or operating leases. Whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee, the contract is classified as a finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases. As of December 31, 2019, the Company analysed the terms of the leases where the Company is a lessor and concluded that all are operating leases, as the lease terms do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee.
When the Company is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for the head lease and the sublease as two separate contracts. The sublease is classified as a finance or operating lease by reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease. There was no such case for the year ended 31 December 2021 or 31 December 2020.
Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Amounts due from lessees under finance leases are recognised as receivables at the amount of the Company's net investment in the leases. Finance lease income is allocated to accounting periods so as to reflect a constant periodic rate of return on the Company's net investment outstanding in respect of the leases.
When a contract includes lease and non-lease components, the Company applies IFRS 15 to allocate the consideration under the contract to each component.
The Company rents some of its property to the subsidiary, TeraGlass Bistrita SRL under operating lease. Rent is of a fixed amount, at market price, as determined by an independent valuator.
The Company operates in Romania, and the functional currency is the Romanian leu (RON).
For the preparation of the Group's financial statements, transactions in other currencies (foreign currencies) than the functional one are registered at the exchange rate in force at the date of transaction. Each month, and at each balance sheet date, monetary items denominated in foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate in force at those dates.
Monetary assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currency at the end of the year are translated into RON at the exchange rate valid at the end of the year. Unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of comprehensive income.
The RON exchange rate for 1 unit of the foreign currency:
| 31 December | 31 December | |
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | |
| EUR 1 | 4.9741 | 4.9746 |
| USD 1 | 4.7768 | 4.4958 |
| CHF 1 | 5.2806 | 5.3666 |
Non-monetary items which are measured at historic cost in a foreign currency are not translated back.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the asset until they are ready for its intended use or for sale.
All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur.
The amortized cost for the financial assets and liabilities is calculated using the effective interest rate. The amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate.
Government grants are not recognized until there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attached conditions will be complied with by the Company.
The Government grants the main condition of which is that the Group acquire, build or obtain otherwise long-term assets are recognized as deferred income in the separate statement of financial position and presented as 'investment subsidies'. The deferred income is amortized in the profit and loss statement systematically and reasonably over the useful life of the related assets or at the time the assets acquired from the subsidy are retired or disposed of.
Based on the collective labour contract, the Group is under the obligation to pay retirement benefits to its employees depending on their seniority within the Company, amounting to 2 - 3.5 salaries. The Company also grants jubilee bonuses as a fixed amount on work anniversaries.
The Company uses an external actuary to compute the value of the retirement benefits and jubilees related liability and reviews the value of this liability each year depending on the employees' seniority within the Company. The value of the retirement benefits and jubilees is recognized as a provision in the statement of financial position.
For defined benefit retirement benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined as mentioned above, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each annual reporting period.
Remeasurements comprising actuarial gains and losses, and the return on plan assets (excluding interest) are recognised immediately in the statement of financial position with a charge or credit to other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Remeasurements recognised in other comprehensive income are not reclassified. Past service cost is recognised in the separate statement of comprehensive income when the plan amendment or curtailment occurs, or when the Company recognises related restructuring costs or termination benefits, if earlier. Gains or losses on settlement of a defined benefit plan are recognised when the settlement occurs. Net interest is calculated by applying a discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. Defined benefit costs are split into three categories:
The retirement benefit obligation recognised in the separate statement of financial position represents the deficit or surplus in the Company's defined benefit plans. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.
The adjustments resulting from the annually review of the jubilee provisions are recognized in the separate statement of comprehensive income.
The retirement benefits provision is reversed in the separate statement of comprehensive income when the Company settles the obligation.
A liability is recognised for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave in the period the related service is rendered at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for that service. Liabilities recognised in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related service.
Income tax expense is the sum of the current tax and deferred tax.
Current tax is based on the taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit is different than the profit reported in statement of comprehensive income, because it excludes the revenue and expense items which are taxable or deductible in other years and it also excludes the items which are never taxable or deductible. The Company's current tax liability is computed using the taxation rates in force or substantially in force at the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax is recognized over the difference between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding fiscal bases used in the computation of taxable income and it is determined by using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences, while deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences as well as tax losses and credits carried forward in the extent in which it is likely to have taxable income over which to use those temporary deductible differences. Such assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from initial recognition (other than from a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable income, nor the accounting income (and this is assumed as applicable for example in case of initial recognition of a lease contract by a lessee). In addition, a deferred tax liability is not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for temporary taxable differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, except for the cases in which the Company is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is likely for the temporary difference not to be reversed in the foreseeable future. The deferred tax assets resulted from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are recognized only in the extent in which it is likely for sufficient taxable income to exist on which to use the benefits related to temporary differences and it is estimated that they will be reversed in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and it is decreased to the extent in which it is not likely for sufficient taxable income to exist to allow the full or partial recovery of the asset.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the taxation rates estimated to be applied during the period when the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on the taxation rates (and tax laws) in force or entering into force substantially until the balance sheet date. The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities reflects the tax consequences of the manner in which the Company estimates, as of the balance sheet date, that it will recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority and the Company intends to offset its deferred tax assets with its deferred tax liabilities on a net basis.
Current tax and deferred tax is recognized as income or expense in the separate statement of comprehensive income, except for the cases which refer to items credited or debited directly in other comprehensive income, case in which the tax is also recognized directly in other comprehensive income or except for the cases in which they arise from the initial accounting of a business combination.
Tangible assets, except for land and buildings, are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and / or accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of the plant and equipment and borrowing costs for long-term construction projects if the recognition criteria are met. When significant parts of plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Company depreciates them separately based on their specific useful lives. Likewise, when a major repair is performed, its cost is recognized in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognized in the separate statement of comprehensive income as incurred.
The present value of the expected cost for the decommissioning of an asset after its use is included in the cost of the respective asset if the recognition criteria for a provision are met.
Land and buildings are measured at fair value less accumulated depreciation on buildings and impairment losses recognized at the date of revaluation. Valuations are performed with sufficient frequency to ensure that the carrying amount of a revalued asset does not differ materially from its fair value. Accumulated depreciation as of the revaluation date is eliminated from the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount is restated at the revaluated value of the asset.
A revaluation surplus is recorded in other comprehensive income and credited to the asset revaluation surplus in equity. However, to the extent that it reverses a revaluation deficit of the same asset previously recognized in the separate statement of comprehensive income, the increase is recognized in the separate statement of comprehensive income. A revaluation deficit is recognized in the separate statement of comprehensive income of the period, except to the extent that it offsets an existing surplus on the same asset recognized in the asset revaluation reserve.
Upon disposal, any revaluation reserve relating to the concerned asset being sold is transferred to retained earnings.
A tangible asset item and any significant part recognized initially are derecognized upon disposal or when no economic benefits are expected from their use or disposal. Any gain or earning resulting from the derecognition of an asset (calculated as the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the separate statement of comprehensive income when the asset is derecognized.
The residual value, the useful life and the methods of depreciation are reviewed at the end of each financial year and adjusted retrospectively, if appropriate.
Constructions in progress for production or administrative purposes is registered at historical cost, less depreciation. The depreciation of these assets starts when the assets are ready to be used.
Plant and machinery is registered in the financial position statement at their historic value adjusted to the effect of hyperinflation until 31 December 2003, according to IAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies decreased by the subsequently accumulated depreciation and other impairment losses, if any.
Depreciation is registered so as to decrease the cost or revalued amount of the asset to its residual value other than the land and investments in progress, along their estimated useful life, using the straight line basis. The estimated useful lives, the residual values and the depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each year, having as effect changes in future accounting estimates.
Maintenance and repairs of tangible assets are included as expenses when they occur and significant improvements to tangible assets which increase their value or useful life or which significantly increase their capacity to generate economic benefits, are capitalized.
The following useful lives are used for the computation of depreciation.
| Years | |
|---|---|
| Buildings | 20 – 50 |
| Plant and equipment | 3 – 15 |
| Vehicles under finance lease | 5 – 6 |
| Installations and furniture | 3 – 10 |
Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at fair value, which reflects market conditions at the reporting date. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair values of investment properties are included in the separate statement of comprehensive income in the period in which they arise, including the corresponding tax effect. Fair values are determined based on an annual evaluation performed by an accredited external independent valuator applying a valuation model recommended by the International Valuation Standards Committee.
Investment properties are derecognized either when they have been disposed of or when they are permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from their disposal.
Transfers are made to or from investment property only when there is a change in use. For a transfer from investment property to owner-occupied property, the deemed cost for subsequent accounting is the fair value at the date of change in use. If owneroccupied property becomes an investment property, the Company accounts for such property in accordance with the policy stated under property, plant and equipment up to the date of change in use.
Intangible assets purchased separately are reported at cost minus accumulated amortization/impairment losses. Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination are capitalized at fair value as at the date of acquisition.
Following initial recognition, intangible assets, which have finite useful lives, are carried at cost or initial fair value less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.
Amortization is computed through the straight line basis over the useful life. The estimated useful lives, the residual values and the amortization method are reviewed at the end of each year, and adjusted as necessary, having as effect changes in future accounting estimates.
The following useful lives are used for the computation of amortisation:
Licenses 1 – 5
The Company assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If there is such an indication, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated to determine the size of the impairment loss. When it is impossible to assess the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company assesses the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit which the asset belongs to. Where a consistent distribution basis can be identified, the Company assets are also allocated to other separate cash generating units or to the smallest group of cash generating units for which a consistent allocation basis can be identified.
Intangible assets having indefinite useful lives and intangible assets which are not yet available to be used are tested for impairment annually and whenever there is an indication that it is possible for the asset to be impaired.
An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's or cash-generating unit's (CGU) fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. When measuring the value in use, the future estimated cash flows are settled at the current value using a discount rate prior to taxation which reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the specific risks of the asset, for which future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable value of an asset (or of a cash generating unit) is estimated as being lower than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (of the cash generating unit) is reduced to the recoverable amount.
An impairment loss is recognized immediately in the separate statement of comprehensive income, except for revalued assets for which there is a revaluation that can be decreased with the impairment loss.
Years
If an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset (of the cash generating unit) is increased to the reviewed estimation of its recoverable value, but so as the reviewed carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount which would have been determined had any impairment loss not been recognized for the respective asset (cash generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in the statement of comprehensive income.
A revaluation surplus is recognized as an item of comprehensive income and credited to the asset's revaluation reserves, except for the cases in which a decrease in value was previously recognized in profit and loss for a revalued asset, case in which the surplus can be recognized in profit and loss within the limit of this prior decrease.
Non-current assets (and disposal groups) classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount is recovered through a sale transaction, rather than through continued use. This condition is considered to be met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset (or disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its current state.
Management must engage in the sale, which should qualify for recognition as completed sale within one year of the date of classification.
When the Company commits to a sale plan that involves the loss of control of a subsidiary, all assets and liabilities of that subsidiary are classified as held for sale when the criteria described above are met, regardless of whether the Company will retain a controlling interest or not in its former subsidiary, after the sale.
The inventories are registered at the lowest value between cost and the net realizable value. The net realizable value is the selling price estimated for the inventories minus all estimated costs for completion and the costs related to the sale. Costs, including a portion related to fixed and variable indirect costs are allocated to inventories held through the method most appropriate for the respective class of inventories.
Raw materials are valued at the purchase price including transport, handling costs and net of trade discounts.
Work in progress, semi-finished goods and finished goods are carried at actual cost consisting of direct materials, direct labour and directly attributable production overheads and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition using the standard cost method. Standard costs take into account normal levels of consumption of materials and supplies, labour, efficiency and capacity utilisation. They are regularly reviewed and, if necessary, revised in the light of current conditions.
For the following classes of inventories, the average weighted cost method is used: the raw material for pipes, merchandise, inventory items, packaging materials, consumables.
An impairment allowance is made, where necessary, in all inventory categories for obsolete, slow moving and defective items.
Investments in subsidiaries represent shares owned in these entities.
These investments are initially recognized as purchase price and subsequently at purchase cost less accumulated impairment losses. IFRS 9 allows for an exemption in case of those interests held in subsidiaries, which are accounted for in accordance with IFRS 10 Consolidated financial statements, IAS 27 Separate financial statements or IAS 28 Investments in associates and joint ventures. Teraplast applies this exemption and continues to assess the interests held in subsidiaries and associates at cost minus any impairment losses.
At each financial statements date, the Company assesses whether there are indications of impairment of the investments in subsidiaries.
These indications refer to important changes that occurred in the economic environment in which the respective entities operate or to important changes in the evolution of the financial position or, respectively, of the financial performance of the entities in which the Company holds interests.
If there are any indications of impairment, the Company carries out an impairment test and it computes the value of the impairment losses as difference between the recoverable value and the net book value.
Except for the assets the value of which will be recovered through a sale transaction rather than by use, for all the impairment tests carried out, the recoverable value was based on the value of use. Its measurement requires different estimates and hypothesis, depending on the nature of the activity, such as the discount rates, the increase rates, the gross margins.
The impairment loss resulted from the impairment tests represents an expense of the current year and it is recognized in profit and loss.
When the Company acquires activities / lines of business from controlled entities, it records the assets and liabilities undertaken at the carrying amount in the Company consolidated financial statements, and the difference between the value of the net assets undertaken and the price agreed between the parties for the transfer is charged directly in Equity.
Common shares are classified in equity.
At the redemption of the Company shares the paid amount will decrease equity belonging to the holders of the company's equity, through retained earnings, until they are cancelled or reissued. When these shares are subsequently reissued, the received amount (net of transaction costs and of income tax effects) is recognized in equity belonging to the holders of the Company's equity.
Dividends related to ordinary shares are recognized as liability to the shareholders in the financial statements in the period in which they are approved by the Company's shareholders. Interim dividends on ordinary shares are recognized when they are paid.
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required from the Company to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the respective obligation.
The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the amount necessary to settle the current obligation as of the balance sheet date, considering the risks and uncertainties related to the obligation. If a provision is measured using the estimated cash flows necessary for settling the present obligation, the carrying amount is the present value of the respective cash flows.
The Company's accounting policy for identifying segments is based on internal management reporting information that is routinely reviewed by the Board of Administration and management. The measurement policies used for the segment reporting under IFRS 8 are the same as those used in the consolidated financial statements. Segment results that are reported to the directors and management include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. The Company has determined that it has two operating segments: Installations (systems for sewage, water and gas) and Compounds.
Each segment includes similar products, with similar production processes, with similar distribution and supply channels.
Installations for infrastructure projects are sold to contractors and installations for residential buildings are sold through a distribution network.
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
The Company's financial assets include cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and long-term investments.
A financial asset is classified as measured at amortized cost or fair value with any movement being reflected through other comprehensive income or the statement of comprehensive income.
The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset's contractual cash flow characteristics and the Group's business model for managing them. With the exception of trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Company has applied the practical expedient, the Company initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through the separate statement of comprehensive income, transaction costs. Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Company has applied the practical expedient are measured at the transaction price determined under IFRS 15. Refer to the accounting policies in Section 2 Recognition of revenues.
The Company's business model for managing financial assets refers to how it manages its financial assets in order to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting contractual cash flows, selling the financial assets, or both.
Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognized on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.
On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment's fair value in other comprehensive income. This election is made on an investment byinvestment basis.
For purposes of subsequent measurement, the Company's financial assets are classified in three categories:
Financial assets designated at fair value through OCI with no recycling of cumulative gains and losses upon derecognition (equity instruments).
The classification of the investments depends on their nature and purpose and it is determined as of the initial recognition. Financial liabilities include finance lease liabilities, interest bearing bank loans, overdrafts and trade and other payables.
Two measurement categories continue to exist, fair value through the separate statement of comprehensive income and amortized cost. Financial liabilities held for trading are measured at fair value through the separate statement of comprehensive income, and all other financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost unless the fair value option is applied.
Financial instruments are classified as liabilities or equity according to the nature of the contractual arrangement. Interest, dividends, gains and losses related to a financial instrument classified as liability are reported as expense. Distributions to the holders of financial instruments classified as equity are registered directly in equity. Financial instruments are offset when the Company has a legal applicable right to offset them and it intends to offset them either on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability at the same time.
The Company recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on trade receivables. The amount of expected credit losses is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition of the respective financial instrument.
For trade receivables, a simplified approach is adopted in which impairment losses are recognized based on lifetime expected credit losses at each reporting date. If there are loan insurances or guarantees for the outstanding balances, the computation of expected losses from receivables is based on the probability of default related to the insurer / guarantor for the insured / guaranteed portion of the outstanding balance, while the amount remaining not covered will have the counterparty's probability of default. The Company has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment.
Clients' credit risk is updated constantly. In assessing the IFRS 9 allowance, the Company uses the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument at the reporting date.
In making the credit risk assessment, the Company considers both quantitative and qualitative information that is reasonable and supportable, including historical experience and forward-looking information that is available without undue cost or effort.
In particular, the following information is taken into account when assessing the credit risk deterioration of debtors:
For trade receivables the Company is using the simplified model allowed by IFRS 9 which does not differentiate between Stage 1 and Stage 2. Credit losses are measured based on provision matrix.
A financial instrument is determined to have low credit risk if:
The Company considers a financial asset to have low credit risk when the asset has external credit rating of 'investment grade' in accordance with the globally understood definition or if an external rating is not available, the asset has an internal rating of 'performing'. Performing means that the counterparty has a strong financial position and there is no past due amounts.
The Company regularly monitors the effectiveness of the criteria used to identify whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk and revises them as appropriate to ensure that the criteria are capable of identifying significant increase in credit risk before the amount becomes past due.
The Company considers the following as constituting an event of default for internal credit risk management purposes as historical experience indicates that financial assets that meet either of the following criteria are generally not recoverable:
Irrespective of the above analysis, the Group considers that default has occurred when a financial asset is more than 90 days past due unless the Company has reasonable and supportable information to demonstrate that a more lagging default criterion is more appropriate.
Any recoveries made to doubtful receivables are recognised in the separate statement of comprehensive income, together with the reversal of the allowance.
The Company writes off a financial asset when bankruptcy was finalized, as at this point the VAT on these receivables can be recovered. Financial assets written off may no longer be subject to enforcement activities.
The measurement of expected credit losses is a function of the probability of default, loss given default (i.e. the magnitude of the loss if there is a default) and the exposure at default. The assessment of the probability of default is based on the risk rating of each client obtained from independent parties, adjusted, if the case with forward-looking information as described above.
As for the exposure at default, for financial assets, this is represented by the assets' gross carrying amount at the reporting date.
The Company recognises an impairment gain or loss in the separate statement of comprehensive income for all financial instruments with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance accounts.
The Company derecognizes financial assets only when the contractual rights over the cash flows related to the assets expire or it transfers to another entity the financial asset and, substantially, all risks and benefits related to the asset.
The Company derecognizes financial liabilities only if the Company's liabilities have been significantly modified, paid, cancelled or they have expired.
The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in the separate statement of comprehensive income. Similarly, the Company accounts for substantial modification of terms of an existing liability or part of it as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new liability.
It is assumed that the terms are substantially different if the discounted present value of the cash flows under the new terms, including any fees paid net of any fees received and discounted using the original effective rate is at least 10 per cent different from the discounted present value of the remaining cash flows of the original financial liability. If the modification is not substantial, the difference between: (1) the carrying amount of the liability before the modification; and (2) the present value of the cash flows after modification is recognised in the separate statement of comprehensive income as the modification gain or loss within other gains and losses.
An entity measures financial instruments and non-financial assets, such as investment property, at fair value at each balance sheet date. Also, the fair values of financial instruments measured at amortized cost are presented in Note 26 j).
The fair value of the freehold land was determined based on the market comparable approach that reflects recent transaction prices for similar properties.
The fair value of the buildings was determined using the cost approach that reflects the cost to a market participant to construct assets of comparable utility and age, adjusted for obsolescence.
The fair value of the investment property was determined based on the market comparable approach that reflects recent transaction prices for similar properties.
There has been no change to the valuation technique during the year for none of the above mentioned classes of assets. There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 during the year.
For all of the above, the level in which fair value measurement is categorised is Level 2.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
An entity uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
External valuators are involved for valuation of significant assets, such as investment property and available for sale financial assets. Involvement of external valuators is decided upon annually by the management. Selection criteria include market knowledge, reputation, independence and professional standards, if they are specified.
At each reporting date, Company's management analyses the movements in the values of assets and liabilities which are required to be re-measured or re-assessed as per the Company's accounting policies.
Group's management, in conjunction with the entity's external valuators, also compares the change in the fair value of each asset and liability with relevant external sources to determine whether the change is reasonable.
For the purpose of the notes and fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.
The preparation of the financial statements requires the performance of estimates and judgments by the management, which affects the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the presentation of potential assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results may be different from these estimates. The estimates and judgments on which these are based are reviewed permanently. The reviews of the accounting estimates are recognized during the period in which the estimate is reviewed, if this review affects only the respective period or during the review period and during future periods, if the review affects both the current period and the future periods.
In the process of applying the Company's accounting policies, management has made the following judgments, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements:
To determine whether the impairment related to an intangible or tangible asset must be recognized, significant judgment is needed. To take this decision, for each cash generating unit (CGU), the Company compares the carrying amount of these intangible or tangible assets, to the higher of the CGU fair value less costs to sell and its value in use, which will be generated by the intangible and tangible assets of the cash generating units over the remaining useful life. The recoverable amount used by the Group for each cash generating unit for impairment measuring purposes was represented by its value in use.
The Company analysed the internal and external sources of information and reached the conclusion that there are no indications concerning the impairment of assets, except for goodwill related to the roof tiles business. When reviewing for indicators of impairment, the Company considers, among other factors:
As a result, the Company decided not to carry an impairment analysis for the recoverable amount of tangible assets, under IAS 36. Therefore, an allowance for asset impairment proved not to be necessary.
The main assumptions regarding future sources and other key sources of uncertainty in the estimates at the reporting date, which present a significant risk of causing a significant adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the next financial year, are described below. The Company based its assumptions and estimates on the parameters available in preparing the separate financial statements. However, existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments may change due to market changes or circumstances beyond the Company's control. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.
The Company measures investment property at fair value, with changes in fair value being recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.
The Company measures land and buildings at revalued amounts with changes in fair value being recognized in other comprehensive income.
Investment property and land and buildings were valued by reference to market-based information, using comparable prices adjusted for specific market factors such as nature, location and condition of the property.
Property, plant and equipment (land and buildings) were revalued at 31 December 2021 by an external valuer, member of ANEVAR. The valuation methods used for such assets were the market comparison for land and the net replacement cost impacted by the results of the application of the income-based approach and the market comparison.

As at 31 December 2024, the Company pledged in favour of financial institutions non-current assets and investment properties with a net carrying amount of RON 122,597,264 (31 December 2023: RON 106,034,674).
The land and buildings were revalued as at 31 December 2024 for financial reporting purposes and investment property at 31 December 2024. The Group management decided they represented a single class of assets for fair value revaluation purposes under IFRS 13. This analysis took into consideration the characteristics and risks associated to the revalued properties.
Presentation of the historical cost values that would have been recorded in connection with these assets, in the event that they would have been recognized had the assets been carried under the cost model, is not possible due to technical limitations of the accounting system. The company considers that the costs that would be incurred with obtaining this information exceed the expected benefits to users of the financial statements. Thus, the presentation of the historical cost values is not presented.

When determining the recoverability of a receivable, the Group takes into consideration any change in the crediting quality of the concerned receivable starting with the credit granting date until the reporting date. The concentration of the credit risk is limited taking into consideration that the client base is large and they are not related to each other.
An allowance for impairment is recorded for the full amount of trade receivables overdue for more than 60 days.
The measurement of expected credit losses is a function of the probability of default, loss given default (i.e. the magnitude of the loss if there is a default) and the exposure at default. The assessment of the probability of default is based on the risk rating of each client obtained from independent parties, adjusted, if the case with forward-looking information as described above.
As for the exposure at default, for financial assets, this is represented by the assets' gross carrying amount at the reporting date.
The Company's receivables are pledged in full in favour of the financing banks.

In the normal course of business, the Company has exposure to a variety of financial risks, including foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk and credit risk, market risk, geographic risk, but also operating risks and legal risks. The Company's focus is to understand these risks and to put in place policies that minimize the economic impact of an adverse event on the Company's performance. Meetings are held on a regular basis to review the result of the risk assessment, approve recommended risk management strategies and monitor the effectiveness of such policies.
The main objectives of the financial risk management activity are to determine the risk limits and then to ensure that the exposure to risks is maintained between these limits. The management of operating and legal risks is aimed at guaranteeing the good functioning of the internal policies and procedures for minimizing operating and legal risks.
The Company measures trade receivable and other financial assets at amortized cost.

The Company manages its capital to ensure that the entities within the Company will be able to continue their activity and, at the same time, maximize revenues for the shareholders, by optimizing the balance of liabilities and equity.
The structure of the Company capital consists in debts, which include the loans detailed in Note 21, the cash and cash equivalents and the equity attributable to equity holders of the parent Group. Equity includes the share capital, reserves and retained earnings.
Managing the Company's risks also includes a regular analysis of the capital structure. As part of the same analysis, management considers the cost of capital and the risks associated to each class of capital. Based on the management recommendations, the Company may balance its general capital structure through the payment of dividends, by issuing new shares and repurchasing shares, as well as by contracting new liabilities and settling the existing ones.
Just as other industry representatives, the Company monitors the capital based on the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. The net debt is represented by the total loans (including long-term and short-term loans as detailed on the balance sheet) less the cash and cash equivalents. Total capital represents "equity", as detailed on the balance sheet plus the net debt.
The gearing ratio as at 31 December 2024 and 2023 was as follows:
| 2024 | 2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| Total loans | 166,476,433 | 113,529,338 |
| Cash | (5,380,802) | (1,077,764) |
| Net debt | 161,096,351 | 112,451,574 |
| Total equity | 467,979,930 | 343,321,569 |
| Total equity and net debt | 629,076,281 | 455,773,143 |
| Gearing ratio | 25.61% | 24.67% |
The details on the main accounting policies and methods adopted, including the recognition criteria, measurement basis and revenue and expenses recognition basis, concerning each class of financial assets, financial liabilities and capital instruments are presented in Note 2 to the financial statements.
The treasury department of the Company provides services needed for the activity, coordinates the access to the national financial market, monitors and manages the financial risks related to the Group operations by way of reports on the internal risks, which analyse the exposure to and extent of the risks. These risks include the market risk (including the foreign currency risk, fair value interest rate risk and the price risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow interest rate risk.
The Company's activities expose it primarily to the financial risks related to the fluctuation of the exchange rates (see (d) below) and of the interest rate (see [f] below).
The Company management continuously monitors its exposure to risks. However, the use of this approach does not protect the Company from the occurrence of potential losses beyond the foreseeable limits in case of significant fluctuations on the market. There was no change from the prior year in relation to the Company exposure to the market risks or to how the Company manages and measures its risks.
There are two types of foreign currency risk to which the Company is exposed, namely transaction risk and translation risk. The objective of the Company's foreign currency risk management strategy is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters.
This arises because operating units have input costs or sales in currencies other than their functional currencies. In addition, where operating entities carry monetary assets and liabilities at year end denominated other than in their functional currency, their translation at the year-end rates of exchange into their functional currency will give rise to foreign currency gains and losses. The exposures to the exchange rate are managed according to the approved policies.
The table below details the Company sensitivity to a 10% increase and decrease of EUR against RON. 10% is the sensitivity rate used when the internal reporting on the foreign currency risk to the Company is done and it represents the management estimate on the reasonably possible changes in exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis only includes the remaining foreign currency expressed in monetary items and adjusts the conversion at the end of the period for a 10% change in exchange rates. In the table below, a negative value indicates a decrease in profit when the RON depreciates by 10% against the EUR. A 10% strengthening of the RON against the EUR will have an equal opposite impact on profit and other equity, and the balances below will be positive. The changes will be attributable to the exposure related to the loans, trade receivables and payables with foreign partners, and denominated in EUR at the end of the year.

The Company obtains revenues in EUR based on the contracts signed with foreign clients.
The interest-bearing assets of the Company, the revenues, and the cash flows from operating activities are exposed to the fluctuations of market interest rates. The Company's interest rate risk relates to its bank loans. The loans with variable interest rate, expose the Company to the cash flow interest rate risk due to fluctuation of ROBOR for the other loans with variable interest rate.
The Company continuously monitors its exposure to the interest rate risk. These include simulating various scenarios, including the refinancing, discounting current positions, financing alternatives. Based on these scenarios, the Company estimates the potential impact of determined fluctuations in the interest rate on the profit and loss account. For each simulation, the same interest rate fluctuation is used for all models. These scenarios are only prepared for the debts representing the main interest-bearing positions.
The Company is exposed to the interest rate risk taking into account that the Company entities borrow funds both at fixed, and at floating interest rates. The risk is managed by the Company by maintaining a optimal balance between fixed rate and floating rate interest loans.
The Company is not exposed to the equity price risks arising from equity investments. The financial investments are held for strategic purposes rather than commercial ones and are not significant. The Company does not actively trade these investments.
The Company has adopted a policy of performing transactions with trustworthy parties, parties that have been assessed in respect of the credit quality, taking into account its financial position, past experience and other factors, and additionally, obtaining guarantees or advance payments, if applicable, as a means of decreasing the financial losses caused by breaches of contracts. The Company exposure and the credit ratings of third parties to contracts are monitored by the management.
The Company's maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying value of each financial asset. The credit risk relates to the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations causing financial losses to the Company.
Trade receivables are from a high number of clients from different industries and geographical areas. The permanent credit assessment is performed in relation to the clients' financial condition and, when appropriate, a credit insurance is concluded.
The Company has policies limiting the value of the exposure for any financial institution.
The carrying amount of receivables, net of the provision for receivables, plus the cash and cash equivalents, are the maximum amount exposed to the credit risk. Although the receivable collection could be influenced by economic factors, the management considers there is no significant loss risk for the Company, beyond the provisions already recorded.
The Company considers the exposure to the credit risk in relation to a counterparty or a group of similar counterparties by analysing the receivables individually and making impairment adjustments. The Company had more than four thousand clients in 2019, with the highest exposure on one client not exceeding 3%.
The Company manages the liquidity risks by maintaining appropriate reserves, bank facilities and reserve loan facilities, by continuously monitoring actual cash flows and by correlating the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. Each Group company prepares annual and short term cash flows (weekly, monthly and quarterly). Financing needs for working capital are determined and contracted based on the budgeted cash flows. Investments projects are approved only with a concrete financing plan.
The financial instruments disclosed on the statement of financial position include trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, short and long-term loans and other debts. The carrying amounts represent the maximum exposure of the Company to the credit risk related to the existing receivables.
Financial liabilities are at their carrying amount which is an approximation to their fair value, due to the fact that the liabilities are at variable interest rates and there are no material initial fees and charges amortized over time.
The tables below detail the dates remaining until the maturity of the Company's financial liabilities.
The tables were prepared based on the undiscounted cash flows of the financial liabilities at the nearest date when is possible for the Company to be requested to pay. The table includes both the interest and the cash flows related to the capital.

In Romania, there are several agencies authorized to perform controls (audits). These controls are similar in nature to the tax inspections performed by the tax authorities in many countries, but they may cover not only tax matters, but also legal and regulatory matters, the concerned agency may be interested in. The Company is likely to be occasionally subject to such controls for breaches or alleged breaches of the new and existing laws and regulations. Although the Company may challenge the alleged breaches and related penalties when the management considers they are entitled to take such action, the adoption or implementation of laws and regulations in Romania could have a significant impact on the Company. The Romanian tax system is under continuous development, being subject to constant interpretations and changes, sometimes retrospectively applied. The statute of limitation for tax periods is 5 years. The Company's administrators are of the view that the tax liabilities of the Company have been calculated and recorded according to the legal provisions.
The main activity of the group companies have inherent effects on the environment. The environmental effects of the Company's activities are monitored by the local authorities and by the management. As a result, no provisions were set for any kind of potential obligations currently unquantifiable in relation to environmental matters or actions for their remedy.
The Romanian fiscal legislation includes the "arm's length" principle, according to which inter-company transactions should be performed at market value. Local taxpayers that perform inter-company transactions should prepare and submit the transfer pricing file with the Romanian tax authorities, upon written request of the latter. Failure to submit the transfer pricing documentation file or submission of an incomplete file may lead to penalties for non-compliance; in addition to the contents of the transfer pricing documentation file, the tax authorities may interpret the transactions and circumstances in a manner different than that of the company and, as a result, they may determine additional fiscal obligations resulting from transfer pricing adjustments. The Company management considers they will not record losses in the case of a fiscal review of transfer pricing. However, the impact of a different interpretation from the tax authorities cannot be reliably measured. It could be significant for the Company's financial position and / or operations.
