During the reporting period, Vilniaus Baldai AB generated sales revenue of EUR 52,823 thousand (1.2% lower than the same period of the previous financial year), while the number of units sold reached 1,633 thousand (a 19.9% increase compared to the first six months of the previous financial year). A more stable economic environment and a reduced seasonal effect in Q2 2025 resulted in a more significant change in sales revenue (EUR 24,553 thousand, i.e., a 5.1% increase compared to the second quarter of the previous financial year) and growth in the number of units sold (840 thousand units, i.e., 39.2% increase compared to the same period of the last year). Such a significant difference between sales growth in quantitative and monetary terms is one of the key highlights of this reporting period. The main factor behind this is the decrease in sales prices, in order to reflect the Company's significantly increased competitiveness in recent years and stimulating demand growth by improving product accessibility for end consumers.
The significant increase in the quantity of products sold and produced is directly related to purchasing tenders organized by IKEA, the Company's main client, during the 2024 financial year. The Company's ability to compete with Europe's largest furniture manufacturers has allowed it to expand its product portfolio with new products and product families. In addition to this, sales volume growth has been driven by the more stable increase in global demand, which is affected both by lower furniture prices in stores as well as the overall recovery in consumer spending.
The Group's EBITDA (excluding the impact of IFRS16) for the first half of the 2025 financial year amounted to EUR 7,699 thousand, which is 23.2% lower compared to the same period last year. However, the EBITDA margin remained at a high level (14.6%), despite the decline in sales prices, the launch of new products, and their integration into the production chain, which typically poses short-term challenges to maintaining production efficiency. This level of EBITDA profitability enables the Company to execute its planned investments and fulfill its financial obligations. The first half of 2025 EBITDA aligned with the Company's expectations for this period; this this profitability dynamics during the transition period had been planned and expected.
As planned at the beginning of this financial year, the Company is increasing and intends to further accelerate investments in the automation of production, logistics and quality processes, as well as continuing and finalizing the ongoing digitalization project (ERP). Additionally, investments in employee qualification improvement will be increased, especially in automation, technological, and product development competencies.
Other top priorities for the 2025 financial year include the further implementation of LEAN methodologies, workplace safety, environmental protection, improvement of working conditions, and involvement in new product development.
Economic risk factors. The sales to the main customer Swedish IKEA constituted approximately 98.9% of total sales of Vilniaus baldai AB during the first half of financial year 2025 (the same period in 2024 – 99.7%). Furniture accounted for 99.6% of the Company's sales during the first half of financial year 2025 (the same period in 2024 – 99.8%), while the rest came from sales of raw materials and waste of raw materials.
Global economy development trends do have an impact on the Company's main customer development pace as well as demand fluctuation for products produced by the Company.
The Company competes with the world furniture producers.
Political risk factors. Changing geopolitical situation has an impact on the international trade flows. A part of the Company's production is exported to the U.S. through IKEA. In the first half of the 2025 financial year, exports of the Company's products to the U.S. accounted for 12.2% of sales revenue. While potential trade policy changes in the U.S., such as the introduction of import tariffs on products manufactured in Europe, may occur, the Company does not anticipate a significant short-term impact on production volumes. In the medium and long term, any potential effects would be minimized through planned investments aimed at improving production and cost efficiency.
Although potential risks exist, the current global military conflicts have no significant impact on the Company's operations. The Company's sensitivity to changes in economic and tax policy is not exceptional compared to other businesses operating in the country. Possible changes of the minimum wage and other social benefits should not affect the Company, as it aims to pay competitive rather than minimum wages and is committed to continuous improvement of working
(all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated)
conditions through efficiency investments. There are no state-imposed requirements or restrictions impacting the issuer's activities.
Social risk factors. The Company faces an ongoing shortage of engineering specialists due to external circumstances – a lack of such professionals is felt throughout the market, and current education, training, and incentive programs do not meet the actual demand for specialists. To address this, the Company implements long-term internal programs to support employee education, provide theoretical and practical training, and enhance competencies and qualifications.
This financial year, the Company successfully continued its internal learning academies (such as the Operator Academy), expanded cooperation with vocational schools, contributed to the training of electricians, provided resources for student internships. Additionally, the Company participated in career fairs and events, joined exam boards, shared knowledge and motivation in presentations for Engineering Day, and carried out other initiatives.
The Company also contributes to addressing other social and labor market issues by collaborating with educational institutions, municipality, and government agencies. Additionally, the Company helps reduce unemployment in the region by hiring employees from both nearby and more distant areas, ensuring they have access to free, convenient, and regular transportation.
An active labor union also operates within the Company, which represents employees' interests and ensures a smooth social dialogue. In order to adapt to the constantly changing needs of personnel, the Company continuously improves its organizational structure, increases work efficiency, enhances working conditions, and expands employee training opportunities.
The Company systematically invests in strengthening employees' competencies. Competency matrices are constantly improved, the training department is expanded as needed, and administrative employees are given access to learning budgets, which are linked to their performance evaluations. Additionally, specialized group training sessions are organized for employees.
The Company actively seeks to adopt best practices from other entities by organizing visits to similar companies, where experiences and best management and technological solutions are shared. In addition, the Company hosts educational tours for students, schoolchildren, and representatives from other businesses, as well as career-oriented excursions in order to educate about career opportunities in the furniture industry and promote greater participation in the sector.
The Company values employee feedback and regularly conducts surveys on various topics to promptly address their needs and improve organizational processes. Employee meetings are held to discuss the Company's performance, market conditions, and relevant employee concerns.
Additionally, the Company implements large-scale projects that involve employees from various departments. These initiatives focus on finding the most effective solutions for improving workplace safety, increasing production efficiency, and addressing key issues that require greater attention at any given time.
The Company strongly believes that continuous investment in employee development, workplace improvement, and engagement drives organizational growth and market competitiveness.
Supply. The Company is currently not experiencing any disruptions in raw material supply or availability.However, it is closely monitoring market recovery trends, increasing demand for raw materials, and supply chain dynamics.
Recently, there has been a rising price trend in several raw material categories. Similar trends are expected to continue into the second half of the year.
From a long-term and strategic point of view, the Company aims to establish a long-term partnership with reliable suppliers, implements inventory and supply management strategies, and ensures that supply sources are diversified to minimize supply risks.
Technical and technological risk factors. According to the IKEA IPS methodology, equipment maintenance is continuously and systematically improved, with the aim of reducing the number of failures and increasing the availability of equipment by involving both technicians and line operators in this process. The Company is proud that, over the past few years, it has transitioned from preventive maintenance to predictive maintenance methodology, when maintenance work is planned and carried out based on various real-time equipment performance parameters. The Company also
(all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated)
places great emphasis on employee training and skills development. To support this, employees are sent for internships with manufacturers of furniture production equipment. Additionally, the Company actively collaborates and shares best practices with other furniture manufacturers in Lithuania and across Europe.
For planning periodic and preventive maintenance tasks, the Alldevice program is used, allowing the scheduling of regular maintenance tasks for technicians and operators.
During the financial year 2024, the Company started to implement a new ERP software tailored to manufacturing companies' profiles. The system's functionality is currently being tested intensively, employee training and preparations for data integration are underway. The new system is expected to provide enhanced functionality, optimize standard operation times, and ensure good security practices to protect the Company's business operations from cyber threats and violations. The system's launch is planned for the second half of the 2025 financial year.
The physical and operational condition of the Company's main production equipment is good and poses no risk to operations.
Ecological risk factors. The Company uses energy and natural resources in its operations, which poses a risk of environmental pollution. The Company is committed to protecting the environment and continuously reducing its negative impact by using resources efficiently, including energy and natural resources, and by complying with legal and standard requirements related to quality, environmental protection, and all its activities. To manage environmental risks and improve performance, the Company has implemented quality and environmental management systems that comply with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standards.
The ISO 9001 Quality Management System is a set of procedures and actions that help the organization improve its daily operations, ensure product quality, reduce costs, save time, increase productivity, and maintain good relationships with customers. Every year, the procedures are reviewed, performance effectiveness is analyzed, and improvement actions are planned.
The ISO 14001 Environmental Management System ensures the identification of significant environmental protection aspects, the implementation of preventive measures, the assignment of responsible persons, and the execution of a monitoring program. Employees of the Company are trained and certified. Adhering to this standard helps ensure compliance with legal requirements and significantly reduces ecological and environmental risks. On July 17, 2024, an ISO system maintenance audit was conducted. No non-compliance or observations were found during the audit. There were no production restrictions due to environmental pollution.
More than half of the furniture produced by the Company is made using hollow-core panel technology, replacing solid wood with core filling made from recycled paper. This allows for up to a five-fold reduction in wood raw material consumption. The Company uses 100% primary wood sourced from socially responsibly managed forests. The company has implemented the FSC® (FSC-C104209) Chain of Custody system tracking the product's journey from the forest or (in the case of secondary raw materials) from the moment of recycling to the point where it is sold with the FSC® label and/or finished and labeled with the FSC® tag. FSC® Chain of Custody certification ensures that only certified raw materials are used in production. This eliminates the risk that the raw materials might be mixed with non-certified ones. An annual FSC® maintenance audit was conducted on March 17, 2025.No non-compliance or observations were found during the audit.
To contribute to the National Energy Independence Strategy 2050, the Company is currently constructing a 1 MW groundmounted solar power plant. This project will also support the Company's sustainability goals and help mitigate risks related to electricity price fluctuations and potential supply disruptions. The project is expected to be completed by the end of this financial year.
Repayment of loans. In the first half of FY2025, the Company refinanced its financial obligations to the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), AS Citadele Banka Lithuanian Branch, KŪB Pagalbos verslui fondas, and Invalda Privatus Kapitalas AB using newly obtained financing from AB Šiaulių Bankas. This decision provided the Company with a more favorable loan repayment schedule and lower debt servicing costs, which will allow the freed-up cash flows to be directed toward necessary investments. Interbank interest rates continued to decline during the reporting period, and further expected reductions in the future are anticipated to contribute to lower debt servicing costs for the Company. Loan repayments were made according to the schedules agreed upon with creditors. Information on the terms and conditions of repayment of financial liabilities, credit and interest rate risks of the Group and the Company is provided

remuneration, and other employment terms for various categories of employees, as well as to provide additional social benefits beyond those stipulated by Lithuanian law. The collective agreement covers the procedures for establishing, amending and terminating employment contracts; working hours and rest time; compensation terms; employee skill development; workplace safety and medical services; social welfare; guarantees for labor union activities; and protections for elected employee representatives. If the terms of the collective agreement are more favorable than those in an individual employment contract, the collective agreement takes precedence.
The remuneration system clearly defines employee categories and the positions assigned to these categories. The remuneration provisions set forth in the system and its appendices are applied to prevent any form of discrimination, including by gender. Men and women receive equal pay for the same or equivalent work. Job responsibilities, required qualifications (if specific to a position), and mandatory or optional skill development requirements are set forth in the job descriptions and/or employment contracts.
Compensation consists of a fixed and variable component. The fixed component is the employee's basic monthly salary specified in the employment contract, paid monthly. The variable component is awarded based on the Company's performance. Employees may also receive bonuses for acquired qualifications and/or additional pay for extra work or the execution of additional duties or tasks.
The main criteria for the compensation and motivation system are employee competence, the level of responsibility and complexity of the position, individual achievements, and contribution to the overall company performance. Vilniaus baldai AB ensures a proper work-rest schedule, the right to annual or other statutory leave, and a fair salary that matches the employee's qualifications. All company employees receive a salary higher than the national minimum wage.

The Company did not have any own shares, did not acquire or transfer any in the reporting period.

In the September, 2024 has secured the financing of 30 million EUR (of which 24 million EUR is a long-term loan for a 5-year period and 6 million EUR is a credit line for 2-year period) from Šiaulių bankas AB to refinance its existing longterm financial liabilities.
Together with the financing provided by the Bank and the Company's own funds, the Company's existing liabilities to the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, AS Citadele Banka Lithuanian Branch, KŪB Pagalbos verslui fondas and Invalda privatus kapitalas AB were fully covered.
The loan repayment schedule and lower debt servicing costs agreed upon in the contracts with Šiaulių bankas AB will have a positive impact on cash flows, enabling increased investments in production automation, robotics, the implementation of new technologies, process improvements, and team development. Additionally, this serves as a strong external signal that the Company's recent performance is considered sustainable and that there is confidence in its growth prospects.

No other significant events occurred in the Company.
In the last quarter of the 2024 financial year, the Company participated in procurement tenders organized by its main client, IKEA, which enabled an expansion of the product and product family portfolio. In the coming years, this is expected to ensure sustainable operational results, more balanced utilization of production capacity, increased inventory turnover. As production volumes grow, maintaining and strengthening competitiveness through infrastructure and process modernization remains a key long-term objective.
FY2025 is a transitional period, during which the product portfolio structure is changing, new products are being introduced, and managing their production processes efficiently will impact revenues and profitability ratios for this period. The changing product portfolio structure and significant volume growth require more human resources, and the limited labor supply and market competition are driving investments in modern technology, employees skill development, and process improvements.
The refinancing of the Company's financial obligations in September 2025 had a positive impact on debt servicing costs and projected cash flows for the coming years. Sustainable profitability ratios, effective use of equity and borrowed capital, and the potential for production volume expansion will contribute to the next phase of the Company's growth. Over the next 3 – 5 years, the focus will be on significant investments in production, logistics, and quality automation, aimed at both increasing production efficiency and expanding equipment capacity.
In FY2024, the Company began implementing a new ERP system tailored for manufacturing companies, with the system launch planned for the second half of the FY2025. Additionally, in FY2025, the Company started an investment project for a solar power plant to partially meet its electricity needs, with project completion scheduled for summer 2025. In the near future, the Company will continue to focus on further implementation of LEAN methodologies, workplace safety, environmental protection, improving employee conditions, and involvement in new product development.
Sustainability will also be a key focus in the upcoming financial year. Along with the 2025 financial statements, the Company will present a sustainability report, which will be audited. The Company's goal and strategy is to make sustainability an accepted and integrated part of the business operations.
The Company did not carry out any research or development activity.

The Company is engaged in furniture production and trade. The Company was registered on 9 February 1993; its shares are traded in the Secondary List of the NASDAQ OMX Vilnius AB.
As of February 28, 2025 the Group employed 549 people, the Company employed 494 people (on August 31, 2024 the Group employed 524 employees, the Company – 459).
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the European Union (hereinafter the EU). The financial statements have been prepared based on acquisition cost principle.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months of FY2025 ended February 28, 2025 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group's and the Company's annual financial statements as for of FY2025.
In the financial statements all figures are provided in EUR thousand. The statements are drawn up applying the method of historical costs.
When drawing up the financial statements in accordance with the IFRS, the managers are required to make calculations and estimations to support the assumptions that have an impact on application of the accounting principles and on the amounts of assets and liabilities, income and costs. The calculations and related assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that correspond to the present situation and on the basis of which conclusions concerning the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are made that cannot be decided on the basis of other sources. The actual amounts may differ from these assumptions.
The Group's and the Company's accounting policies are consistent with those used in the previous years.
Euro is the currency of Financial Statements of the Company as well as the Group. In the financial statements all figures are provided in EUR thousand.
On October 8, 2014, the Extraordinary General Shareholders Meeting of Vilniaus Baldai AB has resolved to change the financial year, which earlier started 1 January and ended 31 December, to the financial year beginning on 1 September and ending on 31 August of the next year in order to coordinate the period of financial year of Vilniaus Baldai AB and its main customer. The change took effect on August 31, 2015.
The consolidated financial statements of the Group include Vilniaus Baldai AB and it's subsidiary. The control is normally evidenced when the Group owns, either directly or indirectly, more than 50 percent of the voting rights of a company's share capital and/or is able to govern the financial and operating policies of an enterprise so as to benefit from its activities.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date from which effective control is transferred to the Company and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Company. All intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains and losses on transactions among the Group companies have been eliminated.
Consolidated financial statements are prepared on the basis of the same accounting principles applied to similar transactions and other events under similar circumstances. Financial statements of Subsidiary were prepared for the same period as that of the Company.
FOR THE SIX MONTHS OF FY2025 ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2025
(all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated)
Intangible assets are measured initially at cost. Intangible assets are recognized if it is probable that future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the enterprise and the cost of asset can be measured reliably. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the best estimate of their useful lives.
The costs of acquisition of new software are capitalized and treated as an intangible asset if these costs are not an integral part of the related hardware. Software is amortized over a period not exceeding 3 years.
Costs incurred in order to restore or maintain the future economic benefits that the Group and the Company expects from the originally assessed standard of performance of existing software systems are recognized as an expense when the restoration or maintenance work is carried out.
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
When assets are sold or retired, their cost and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss resulting from their disposal is included in the statement of comprehensive income.
The initial cost of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price, including non-refundable purchase taxes and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use. Expenditures incurred after the property, plant and equipment have been put into operation, such as repair and maintenance costs, are normally charged to the statement of comprehensive income in the period the costs are incurred.
Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:
| Buildings | 10 - 66 years |
|---|---|
| Machinery and equipment | 6 - 20 years |
| Vehicles | 5 - 10 years |
| Other property, plant and equipment | 2 - 6 years. |
The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed periodically to ensure that the period of depreciation is consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from items in property, plant and equipment.
Construction-in-progress is stated at cost. This includes the cost of construction, plant and equipment and other directly attributable costs. Construction-in-progress is not depreciated until the relevant assets are completed and available for use.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets that necessarily take a substantial time to get ready for intended use or sale (qualifying assets) are capitalized as part of the costs of those assets.
Capitalization of borrowing costs continues up to the date when the assets are substantially ready for their use or sale.
The Group capitalizes borrowing costs that could have been avoided if it had not made capital expenditure on qualifying assets. Borrowing costs capitalized are calculated at the group's average funding cost (the weighted average interest cost is applied to the expenditures on the qualifying assets), except to the extent that funds are borrowed specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset. Where this occurs, actual borrowing costs incurred less any investment income on the temporary investment of those borrowings are capitalized.
Spare parts are classified as property, plant and equipment if they meet the definition, including the requirement to be used over more than one period. Otherwise, they are classified as inventory. For spare parts that are kept to ensure smooth operation of some machinery without interruptions, the depreciation period starts immediately when those spare parts are acquired.
Inventories are initially recorded at acquisition cost. After the initial recognition, inventories are valued at the lower number of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the costs of completion and applicable variable marketing and distribution costs. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress includes the applicable allocation of fixed and variable overhead
costs based on a normal operating capacity. Unrealizable inventory is fully written-off. Inventory items that have not moved or been used for more than one year are written down based on the following criteria:
FOR THE SIX MONTHS OF FY2025 ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2025
(all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated)
Customer commitment to compensate 0 % (0% write-down) To be used in production 70 % (30% write-down) To be sold in the secondary market (liquid inventory) 50 % (50% write-down) Illiquid inventory 100 % (100% write-down)
The financial assets of the Group and the Company include cash and cash equivalents, loans granted, trade receivables and other receivables.
Trade receivables are initially recognized when they arise. Upon initial recognition, all other financial assets are recognized when the Group and the Company become parties to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets (except for trade receivables without a significant financing component), if not measured at fair value through profit or loss, are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs directly attributable with acquisition or issue. Trade receivables without a significant financing component are initially recognized at the transaction price.
Financial assets are classified in three groups according to their measurement:
The classification of a financial asset depends on the financial asset management business model (assessing how the entity manages the financial assets to generate cash flows) and the characteristics of the contractual cash flows of the financial asset (whether contractual cash flows include only principal and interest payments).
Financial asset is stated at amortized cost if both of the following conditions are satisfied:
Financial assets that do not meet the above conditions are measured at fair value through profit or loss and through other comprehensive income.
The Group and the Company have no financial assets, which, in subsequent periods, are measured at fair value through profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
Financial assets that are subsequently measured at amortized cost are measured using the effective interest method. Amortized cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses, and impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial asset or liability and of allocating the interest income or expense over a period of time. The effective interest rate is the rate that discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial asset or liability or, where appropriate, a shorter period.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value through profit or loss. Subsequently, the fair value gain and loss, including any interest and dividends, is recognized in profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
Financial assets (or, where applicable, part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) are derecognised when:
(a) have transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the financial asset;
(b) have neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the financial assets but have transferred control of the assets.
When the Group and the Company transfer rights to receive cash flows from an asset but neither transfer nor retain substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transfer control of the asset, the asset is recognized to the extent of the Group's and the Company's continuing involvement in the asset. The Company's and the Group's assets that have been transferred as guarantee are measured at the lower of the carrying amount and the maximum amount of consideration that the Group and the Company could be required to repay.
(all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated)
The Group and the Company reduce the gross carrying amount of their financial asset if they cannot reasonably expect to recover all or part of the financial asset. A write-off is an event of derecognition.
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in bank accounts. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash. Such investments have a maturity of up to three months and the risk of changes in value is very insignificant. For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits in current accounts, and other short-term highly liquid investments.
Trade and other receivables on initial recognition, trade and other receivables are recognized at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortized cost.
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Ordinary shares are stated at their par value.
Dividend distribution to the company's shareholders is recognized as a liability in the group's financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the company's shareholders. Dividends paid are classified as financing cash flows in the statement of cash flows.
The Group's and the Company's financial liabilities comprise borrowings, trade payables and other payables.
At the time of initial recognition, financial liabilities are recognised when the Group and the Company become parties to the contractual terms of the instrument.
Financial liabilities are divided into two groups according to their measurement:
A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading, it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition.
Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognised in profit or loss.
Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognised in profit or loss.
The Group and the Company derecognise financial liabilities when their contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire. The Group and the Company also derecognise a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different. In this case, the new financial liability is recognized at fair value under the modified terms of the contract.
In the event of derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount written off and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
Trade and other payables. Upon initial recognition, trade and other payables are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions. Trade and other payables are initially measured at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs.
Borrowed funds. Borrowings are initially recognized at fair value less transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
Financial guarantees. A financial guarantee contract is a contract that obliges the Company to make specific payments to compensate the contract holder for the holder's default on timely payment of the original or modified terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantees are initially recognized at fair value, which is usually the amount receivable.
(all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated)
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset when, and only when, the Group and the Company have a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and they intend either to settle them on the net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
The Company and the Group are the lessees
Leases of property, plant and equipment where the Company and the Group has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalized at the lease's commencement at the lower of the fair value of the leased property and the estimated present value of the minimum lease payments. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance charges so as to achieve a constant interest rate on the finance balance outstanding. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in long-term payables except for installments due within 12 months which are included in current liabilities.
The property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases is depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term.
At the beginning of the contract, the Company and the Group assess whether the contract is a lease or includes a lease. This means assessing whether the contract confers a right to manage the use of the identified asset for a period of time in return for remuneration.
The Company and the Group apply a single recognition and measurement method to all leases, except for short-term and low-value leases. The Company and the Group recognize a lease obligation to pay lease payments and a right-of-use asset that entitles the holder to use the leased asset.
The Company and the Group recognize the right-of-use asset at the inception date (ie the date from which the underlying asset is available for use). Assets held under usable rights are carried at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. The cost of an asset held for use includes the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, the initial direct costs, the lease payments at or before the inception date, less any lease incentives received. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
If the ownership of the leased property is transferred to the Company and the Group before the end of the lease term or if the price of the asset managed by the right of use indicates that the lessee will exercise the call option, depreciation is calculated based on the estimated useful life of the asset.
Assets held for use are also assessed for impairment.
At the beginning date, the Company / Group recognizes lease liabilities at the present value of the lease payments due during the lease term. Lease payments include fixed payments (including equivalent payments) less any rental incentives receivable, variable rents that depend on an index or rate, and amounts that would be payable under residual value guarantees. Such lease payments also include the exercise price of the call option if it is reasonably known that the Company / Group will exercise that option, and penalties for terminating the lease if it is assumed that the Company / Group will exercise the option to terminate the lease during the lease term. Variable lease payments that are independent of an index or a rate are recognized as an expense (unless they are incurred to produce inventories) in the period in which the event occurs or the condition that gives rise to the tax arises.
In calculating the present value of the lease payments, the Company / Group applies the borrowing rate accrued at the beginning of the lease, as the interest rate specified in the lease cannot be readily determined. After the commencement date, the amount of the lease liability is increased by the estimated interest and the amount of lease payments paid is reduced. In addition, the carrying amount of a lease is remeasured if certain adjustments are made, the lease term or lease payments change (for example, changes in future lease payments due to a change in the index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change in the option to purchase the lease. evaluation.
FOR THE SIX MONTHS OF FY2025 ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2025
(all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated)
The Company and the Group apply the recognition exemption to their current assets (i.e. leases with a term of less than 12 months at the inception date that do not include an option to purchase the asset). It also observes this exception by recognizing the lease of low-value assets consisting of office inventory. Lease payments for short-term and low-value assets are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
As a lessor, the Company and the Group determine at the beginning of a lease whether the contract is a finance lease or an operating lease. If the Company and the Group determine that substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a leased asset are transferred under a lease, it classifies the lease as a finance lease. Leases under which the Company and the Group do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of a leased asset are classified as operating leases. Lease income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease and is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging a lease shall be included in the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized as an expense over the lease term on the same basis as the lease income. Contingent contributions are recognized as income in the period in which they are earned.
The Company and the Group pay social security contributions to the state Social Security Fund (the Fund) on behalf of its employees based on the defined contribution plan in accordance with the local legal requirements. A defined contribution is a plan under which the Company/ Group pays fixed contributions into the Fund and will have no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the Fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior period. Social security contributions are recognized as expenses on an accrual basis and are included in payroll expenses.
Termination benefits are payable whenever an employee's employment is terminated before the normal retirement date or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Group or the Company recognizes termination benefits when it is demonstrably committed to either: terminating the employment of current employees according to a detailed formal plan without possibility of withdrawal; or providing termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after balance sheet date are discounted to their present value.
The Company recognizes a liability and an expense for bonuses where contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation.
According to the terms of the collective agreement effective at the Company, each employee is entitled to a jubilee payment and 2–3 months' salary payment when retiring after reaching the pension age. Actuarial calculations are made to determine liability for such payments. The liability is recognized at present value discounted using market interest rate.
The Company recognizes re-evaluations of the pension benefit obligation in 'Other comprehensive income that will not be reclassified to profit or losses, while service cost and net interest in recognized within profit or loss. The Company within profit or loss accounts for jubilee benefits and long-service benefits.
Provisions are recognized when the Group and the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The provisions are reviewed at each statement of financial position date and adjusted in order to present the most reasonable current estimate. If the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount of provision is equal to the present value of the expenses, which are expected to be incurred to settle the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a borrowing cost.
(all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated)
Income tax charge is based on profit for the year and considers deferred taxation. Income tax is calculated based on the Lithuanian tax legislation.
The income tax rate in Lithuania was 16 % in 2025 (15 % in 2024).
Starting from 2014 tax losses, except for losses due to sale of securities and (or) derivatives (of nonfinancial institutions), may be carried forward for an unlimited period of time, however carrying forward is stopped, if the company stops its activities due to such losses, except when the company stops its activities due to reasons beyond its control. Deductible tax losses carried forward may not exceed 70 percent of the taxpayer's taxation period income, calculated as income net of tax-exempt income, regular deductions, deductions of limited amounts, with the exception of the previous year losses.
Losses due to sale of securities and (or) derivatives (of non-financial institutions) are carried forward no more than five consecutive tax periods starting from the tax period following the tax period during which the loss was incurred. While deducting previous years' sale of securities losses from current year's securities sales income restriction (of up to 70 percent sale of securities income) does not apply.
Deferred taxes are calculated using the statement of financial position liability method. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to reverse based on tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the statement of financial position date.
Deferred tax asset has been recognized in statement of financial position to the extent the management believes it will be realized in the foreseeable future, based on taxable profit forecasts. If it is believed that part of the deferred tax asset is not going to be realized, this part of the deferred tax asset is not recognized in the financial statements.
Investment tax credit, that arises from tax benefit amount carried forward, qualifies for the initial recognition exception. Therefore, no deferred tax asset is recognized at the time the tax credit arises, but recognition occurs as a reduction of current tax as the credit is realized.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they are related to profit taxes levied by the same tax authority and when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities.
Income tax and deferred income tax are charged or credited to profit or loss, except when they relate to items included directly to equity, in which case the deferred income tax is also accounted for in equity.
Revenues of the Group and the Company are recognized in accordance with IFRS 15, that is, the Group and the Company recognize revenue at such time and to such an extent that the transfer of goods or services to customers represents the consideration that the Group and the Company expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In applying this Standard, the Company takes into account the terms of the contract and all relevant facts and circumstances.
The Company's revenue is recognized using the 5-step model:
A contract recognizes an agreement between two or more parties (subject to purchase / sale terms) that creates enforceable rights and enforceable obligations (not applicable if a joint venture agreement is signed). A contract is within the scope of IFRS 15 if all of the following criteria are met:
Contracts with the customer may be aggregated or disaggregated into several contracts, while retaining the criteria of former contracts. Such aggregation or disaggregation is considered modification of the contract.
FOR THE SIX MONTHS OF FY2025 ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2025
(all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated)
Contractual commitment to deliver goods and / or services to a customer. If separate goods and/or services are identifiable, the liabilities are recognized separately. Each liability is identified in one of two ways:
Under the new IFRS 15, the transaction price may be fixed, variable, or both.
The transactions concluded by the Company apply fixed prices for both continuous services and services performed at a certain point in time. The transaction price is also adjusted considering the time value of money, if the contract includes a significant financing arrangement, and considering any consideration payable to the customer and non-cash consideration received, if any. The Group and the Company apply the following sales price calculation methods: adjusted market assessment approach, expected cost plus margin approach and residual approach. Similar transactions are measured equally.
A performance obligation is a contractual promise to deliver to the customer a separate good or service, or a set of individual goods or services that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer to the customer. The transaction price is apportioned between each performance obligation based on the relative separate selling prices of the good or service promised in the contract. If the contracts do not specify separately the price of the service or good (for example, one price for two products), the Company shall determine it. In measuring the transaction price, the Company estimates a discount or variable amount of consideration that relates only to a particular portion of the contract.
The Group and the Company recognize revenue when they satisfy a performance obligation by transferring promised goods or services to the customer (i.e. when the customer obtains control of the mentioned goods or services). The recognized amount of revenue is equal to the amount of satisfied performance obligation. Performance obligation may be satisfied at a point of time or over time. A period of time is recognised as a calendar month.
The recognition of revenue depends on whether the obligation is satisfied over a period of time (continuous) or at a point in time. In any event, the transfer of control shall be taken into account.
Revenue is recognized at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is reduced by the estimated amount of customer returns, discounts, and other similar provisions. Revenue is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the enterprise and the amount of the revenue can be measured reliably. Revenue from sales is recognized net of VAT and discounts, including any cumulative expected discounts for the current year.
The Group's and the Company's revenue types:
Revenue from sales of furniture and revenue from the sale of raw materials are recognized at a point of time in the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income.
Expenses are recognized on the basis of accrual and revenue and expense matching principles in the reporting period when the income related to these expenses was earned, irrespective of the time the money was spent. In those cases when the costs incurred cannot be directly attributed to the specific income and they will not bring income during the future periods, they are expensed as incurred.
The amount of expenses is usually accounted for as the amount paid or due, excluding VAT. In the cases when a long period of payment is established and the interest is not distinguished, the amount of expenses shall be estimated by discounting the amount of payment using the market interest rate.
Foreign currency transactions are accounted for at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transactions. Gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities
(all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated)
denominated in foreign currencies on the statement of financial position date are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income. Such balances are translated at period-end exchange rates.
A factoring transaction is a financing transaction in which the factoring company finances the Company by purchasing debt obligations from it. By this transaction, the Company transfers to the Factor the right to its receivables under the invoices due, which are due in the future. Factoring can be with recourse (the factoring agent has the right to repay the debt obligations to the Company) and without the right of recourse (the factoring agent has no right to repay the debt obligations to the Company). Receivables transfer (factoring without recourse, it means, the buyer of the debt has no right to cancel the transaction) is treated as a sale of debts and is written off immediately if the Company transfers all risks associated with the debt transfer and no debt repurchase is contemplated, there is no provision for a debt buyer to foreclose on this transaction.
In the statements of cash flows factoring is included in the cash flows from financing activities.
Non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If any such indication exists, the asset's recoverable amount is estimated.
The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.
Reversal of impairment losses recognized in prior years is recorded when there is an indication that the impairment losses recognized for the asset no longer exist or have decreased. Reversal is accounted for in the same caption in profit or loss as impairment losses. For evaluation of impairment of assets, the entire Group is considered as one cash generating unit.
Impairment losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost are measured using the expected credit loss (ECL) model. Credit losses are measured at the present value of all cash losses (the difference between the cash flows that the Group and the Company hold under the contract and the cash flows the Group and the Company expect to receive). ECLs are discounted applying an effective interest rate.
At the end of each reporting period, the Company and the Group recalculate and record the allowance for expected credit losses, taking into account past events, current market conditions and future prospects. At the end of each financial period, the Group and the Company assess whether there has been a material change in the credit risk of the financial instrument since initial recognition.
At the end of each reporting period, the Group and the Company assess whether financial assets carried at amortized cost are impaired. A financial asset is impaired when one or more events have occurred that have a negative impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset. The following criteria are used by the Company to determine whether there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred:
Losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted from the gross value of such assets.
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Group and the Company have no reasonable expectation of recovering all or part of the asset. Non-recoverable assets are written off against recognized related impairment loss allowance, provided that all necessary steps have been taken to recover the asset and the amount of the loss has been determined. The amounts previously written off and recovered in subsequent periods are credited to the impairment loss account within the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

The operating segment is a part of the Group and the Company participating in economic activities from which it can earn profit or incur costs. The results of the operating segment are verified by the management of the Group and the Company on a regular basis by taking a decision regarding resources which have to be allocated to the segment and evaluating its operating results, and who present separate financial information.
Management of the Company has determined the operating segments based on the reports reviewed by the board of directors, considered to be the chief operating decision makers that are used to make strategic decisions. Based on this it was decided that the Group and the Company have a single reportable segment, i.e. furniture production and trade.
Related parties are defined as shareholders, employees, members of the Board, their close relatives and companies that directly or indirectly (through the intermediary) control or are controlled by, or are under common control with, the Group and the Company, provided the listed relationship empowers one of the parties to exercise the control or significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions.
Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the financial statements. They are disclosed unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote.
A contingent asset is not recognized in the financial statements but disclosed when an inflow or economic benefits is probable.
Post-statement of financial position events that provide additional information about the Group's and the Company's position at the statement of financial position date (adjusting events) are reflected in the financial statements. Post-statement of financial position events that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the notes when material.
When preparing the financial statements, revenue and expenses are not set off, except the cases when certain IFRS specifically require such set-off. Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of financial position when there is legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses and disclosure of contingencies, at the reporting date and within the next financial year. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on management's experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Management also makes certain judgements, apart from those involving estimations, in the process of applying the accounting policies. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in the future.
The main areas where management is required to make significant and critical judgements and areas where estimates and assumptions might have significant impact for the preparation of financial statements are described below:
The key assumptions concerning determination the useful life of property, plant and equipment are as follows: expected usage term of the asset, expected technical or commercial obsolescence arising from changes or improvements in the production on legal or similar limits on the use of the asset, such as the expiry dates of related leases.
The tax authorities have a right to examine the Company's books and accounting records at anytime during the 3 years' period after the current tax year and account for additional taxes and fines. In the opinion of the Company's management currently there are no circumstances which would raise substantial liability in this respect.
In the normal course of business the Group and the Company enter into transactions with their related parties. These transactions are priced at market rates. Judgement is applied in determining if transactions are priced at market or non-
(all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated)
market rates, where there is no active market for such transactions. The basis for judgement is pricing for similar types of transactions with unrelated parties.
Key assumptions used in determining the provision for pension and jubilee benefits are as follows: employee turnover rate by age group, discount rate, and wage and salary growth. The Company's management makes judgments in relation to these assumptions.
The management assesses the moment of revenue recognition, i.e., whether revenue is recognized over time or at a point of time. The management assessed that customer do not simultaneously receive and consume the benefits provided by the Company's performance as the Company performs, the Company's performance does not create or enhance an asset that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced, the Company's performance create an asset with an alternative use to the Company and the Company do not has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. Based on this assessment management decided that revenues should be recognised at a point in time. Also, the management estimates expected returns.
The management assesses if the sale of raw materials meets revenue recognition criteria according IFRS 15. The Company provides raw materials to several external and related parties in order to obtain service from these parties- production of component parts used in the further production of furniture. The management has analysed such contracts based on the requirements of IFRS 15 and determined, that in most of cases there is no actual sale of raw materials and acquisition of components but transaction is rather a purchase of production service. Vilniaus baldai, AB controls the process and has full responsibility for the final customer. Raw materials were sold at purchase price to the production service provider.
The management makes judgement if spare parts meet the definition of property, plant and equipment. The basis of judgement is determining if spare part is kept to ensure smooth operation of some machinery without interruptions or it not.
The management measures expected credit losses (ECL) and estimates allowance for trade receivables and contract assets. Key assumption is determining the weighted-average loss rate.
(all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated)
Management of the Company has determined the business segments based on the reports reviewed by the board of directors that are used to make strategic decisions. Consequently, it was decided that the Company has only one business segment – furniture production and trade.
