TREATMENT OF RESULT FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR
The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual
General Meeting that the parent company’s loss for the financial
year ended on 31 December 2021, EUR 1,518,952.39, be transferred to
cumulative loss.
DISTRIBUTION OF FUNDS TO SHAREHOLDERS
The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting
that no dividend be paid for 2021.
ROBIT’S OUTLOOK FOR 2022
Robit expects the market situation to remain
strong if geopolitical risks do not materialise. Demand in the
mining segment is supported by the positive development in metal
prices. Demand in the construction industry is supported by the
good work situation in the construction market areas that are
relevant to Robit and the significant financing decided globally
for the construction industry. The company expects
COVID-19 restrictions to have a limited impact on the demand of
Robit’s products in 2022.
Demand prospects for the mining industry are
good for 2022. Demand for consumable parts across cycles is more
stable in relation to investment products. The high level of
mineral prices and positive outlook are reflected in the
prospection drilling activities which are developing well.
Prospection drilling is a cyclical part of the industry, reflecting
the mining industry’s willingness to invest in future capacity
increases. Robit has good growth potential in the mining
segment.
The construction industry is always locally cyclical, and the
market situation can change rapidly. The prospects of Robit’s
customers are good, and projects related to infrastructure
construction that are ongoing or about to be launched support the
prospects for 2022.
GUIDANCE FOR 2022 Robit estimates that net sales for 2022
will grow and adjusted EBITDA profitability in euros will improve
compared with 2021, assuming that there are no significant changes
in the exchange rates compared with the end of 2021.
CEO TOMMI LEHTONEN
Robit’s growth and profitability continued to
develop positively in 2021. For the first time in the company’s
history, net sales exceeded EUR 100 million and totalled EUR 100.8
million (91.6). There was an increase of 10% from 2020. Orders
received increased by 13%.
The year ended well in terms of sales. In the
last quarter of the year, net sales grew by 11% and orders by
29.8%. This was the first quarter in which orders exceeded EUR 30
million.
Robit’s profit for the financial year turned
positive, although profitability development was held back by cost
inflation and supply chain challenges. The EBITDA for the financial
period was EUR 7.6 million (5.1), up 48.4% on the corresponding
period.
In the last quarter, the EBITDA was EUR 1.7
million (2.1). Profitability in the last quarter was particularly
weakened by high freight costs. Raw material costs rose rapidly
during the year. Result impacts were limited by pricing and
procurement measures. Already at the end of
2020, the challenges for global container traffic and the rapid
growth in sales of Top Hammer products led to many measures aimed
at safeguarding the level of customer service. These measures
raised our inventory levels as we prioritised ensuring
availability.
Success in business growth
During 2021, we managed to grow our business,
especially in the Top Hammer and mining customer segments. We won
several new mining contracts in all markets, and the Top Hammer
business continues to have good growth prospects. The share of the
mining industry increased to about 60% of 2021 sales.
The Down the Hole business developed unevenly
across markets. Down the Hole involves significant project
business, which results in fluctuations in demand. We will continue
to systematically develop sales of Down the Hole products for both
mining and construction into new markets with clear geographical
priorities.
The challenges associated with container
transport, combined with rapid growth, caused bottlenecks in the
supply chain during the year. This development was already visible
at the end of 2020, and provisions were made for it, including by
increasing inventory levels. During the year, decisions were also
made on investments of around EUR 6 million, mainly related to Top
Hammer production, with the aim of ensuring sufficient supply
capacity to support the growth in the coming years. The new
capacity was partly available in the last quarter of the year and
will be at full capacity in the first quarter of 2022. During the
financial period, many ad hoc arrangements were made in relation to
ensuring customers’ deliveries, which resulted in additional costs
affecting the company’s profitability, for example due to air
freight.
In 2021, raw material prices rose rapidly. This
trend was already visible at the end of 2020, and the impact of
cost inflation was also limited by increasing orders for raw
materials until the end of 2020. These measures helped to postpone
the impact of the rise in raw material prices until the second half
of the year. In line with the strategy, the share of new, more
cost-effective suppliers was increased, and price increases were
implemented during the year. These measures helped to limit the
impact of cost inflation on the company’s performance.
Responsibility rooted even more strongly in Robit’s daily
operations
Robit embedded sustainability plans into its
daily operations. All Robit team members and our partners are
actively involved in developing the company towards our corporate
responsibility goals under four main themes: responsible
partnerships, reducing CO2 emissions in the value chain, a happy
and prosperous work community and efficiency throughout the product
life cycle. In many areas, we already saw good progress in the
second half of the year. For each of the main themes, the
company has defined indicators and objectives that will be part of
the company’s incentive scheme in the future.
Determined movement towards strategic goals
During the year, we updated our business plans
to support Robit in achieving its strategic goals. The focus of the
plans remains on ensuring growth, profitability and cash flow
development. At the same time, we decided to invest more strongly
in our ability to deliver as well as in our long-term product
development.
We clarified and strengthened our sales
organisation to ensure that our growth projects progress in line
with the priorities we have set. The most significant results were
achieved in strengthening the distributor structure. We won new
customers both with distributors and in our direct sales regions.
Overall, we managed to grow in several markets, and Robit still has
significant opportunities for further growth in all our market
areas.
During the year, we implemented several
development measures to strengthen our sales margin. We managed to
increase the share of purchases from new, more cost-effective
suppliers and we implemented price increases. At the same time, we
strengthened our pricing processes during the year. Overall, cost
inflation and supply difficulties held back profitability.
An efficient supply chain is an essential part
of a competitive the company that supplies consumables. In addition
to investments, we are taking our order-to-supply chain practices
one step further. We strengthened resourcing in this area and
implemented a major development project focused on improving
factory lead times and the security of supply.
Systematically strengthening supply
We made progress on a broad front during the
year. The focus was on strengthening longer-term capabilities
through a three-part product development and research programme. We
also launched new product ranges, which will simplify the offering
and make it more competitive. We also worked closely with key
customers, and through this, we were able to develop new products
with significantly better performance. The new products developed
will serve as the basis for new product ranges to be launched in
2022. We managed to take a clear step forward in strengthening the
competitiveness of Robit’s offering.

business was lower than in 2020. The Down the Hole business grew in
the mining and excavation segment, but the growth was lower than
the company’s targets.

The company’s strong growth continued in the
fourth quarter in the Americas region, where net sales grew by
43.4%. Growth was strong in both South and North America. Net sales
also grew in the EMEA, Asia and Australasia regions. The East
region was clearly left behind the exceptionally strong
corresponding quarter. There were significant project deliveries
during the corresponding period in 2020.
In January–December, the company’s growth was
especially driven by the Americas and EMEA regions. In the East
region, low project activity in the Geotechnical segment was
reflected in declining net sales. Other segments in the East region
increased. Net sales in the Asia region fell by -5.5% due to the
low demand in the early part of the year. In the Australasia
region, the company grew by 2.5%.

The EBITDA for the fourth quarter was EUR 1.7
million (2.1). The EBITDA’s share of net sales was 6.3% (8.7). The
company’s EBIT was EUR 0.3 million (0.6). The EBIT was 1.2% (2.6)
of the review period net sales. The result was weakened by
increased logistical and raw material costs.
In January–December, the EBITDA was EUR 7.6
million (5.1). The EBITDA’s share of net sales was 7.5% (5.6). The
company’s EBIT was EUR 2.1 million (-0.9). The EBIT was 2.1% (-0.9)
of the net sales.
Improved operating profit in the financial
period was supported by increased net sales, measures taken in the
pricing and management of pricing as well as the gradual
realisation of savings in acquisitions. High freight costs and the
globally increased costs of raw materials created cost pressure,
especially towards the end of the year. Securing customer service
and the delivery pipeline for new customers also caused higher than
normal freight costs during the comparison period.
Financial income and expenses in the fourth
quarter totalled EUR -0.3 million (-0.4), of which EUR -0.3 million
(-0.4) was interest expenses and EUR 0.1 million (0.1) exchange
rate changes. Review period net income was EUR -0.6 million
(0.5).
In January–December, financial income and
expenses totalled EUR -1.3 million (-2.7), of which EUR -1.2
million (-1.1) was interest expenses and EUR 0.1 million (-1.3)
exchange rate changes. The result for the financial period improved
to EUR 0.4 million (-2.9).

SHARE-BASED INCENTIVE PROGRAMMES
Share-based incentive scheme 2018–2021
On 15 June 2018, Robit’s Board of Directors
decided on a new share-based incentive scheme for the Group’s
management and key personnel. The scheme has three parts: the key
person’s own investment in the company, reward shares and a
performance-based additional share scheme. Obtaining a reward from
the share scheme required the acquisition of Robit Plc’s shares by
the key person. The commitment period of the incentive scheme’s
additional share scheme allocated in 2018 started on 1 September
2018.
For shares subject to share ownership
conditions, the key personnel who joined the scheme in 2018
received shares as a reward after a commitment period of around
three years. At the time of allocation, the rewards of the
additional share scheme payable on the basis of the commitment
period that started on 1 September 2018 were estimated to
correspond to the value of a maximum of 24,000 Robit Plc shares,
also including the component payable in cash. On 31 May 2021, when
the share ownership conditions of the additional share scheme were
fulfilled, an amount corresponding to the value of 17,000 Robit Plc
shares, also including the component payable in cash, was paid. The
targets set for the earning period 2018–2020 of the
performance-based additional share scheme were not achieved and,
therefore, no reward was payable for the earning period of the
performance-based additional share scheme that ended on 31 December
2020. The incentive scheme ended on 31 May 2021 when the rewards of
the additional share scheme were paid, and they did not include any
transfer restrictions in accordance with the rules of the
scheme.
Share-based incentive scheme 2020–2023
On 25 February 2020, Robit’s Board of Directors
decided on a new share-based incentive scheme for the Group’s
management and key personnel. The share scheme has three elements:
own investment of the key personnel in Robit shares (base share
plan), reward shares by the company (matching share plan) and
performance-based additional share plan (performance matching
plan). The share-based incentive scheme covers 17 individuals. The
company’s matching shares and performance matching shares will be
paid in April 2023. After the payment, the shares will be subject
to a transfer restriction for a period of one year. If all three
main elements of the scheme are fulfilled in full as determined in
the scheme and according to the target setting of the company’s
Board of Directors, the maximum amount of shares issued based on
the scheme will be 441,760 shares, corresponding to 2.1% of the
current total share capital.
Share-based incentive scheme 2021–2024
On 15 June 2021, Robit Plc’s Board of Directors
decided on a performance-based share reward scheme for key
personnel. The share scheme includes earning periods of one and two
years. The first earning period of the share scheme comprises the
year 2021 and the second earning period comprises the years
2022–2023. The share scheme’s potential reward for the one-year
earning period 2021 is based on the company’s predetermined EBITDA
target in the financial statements for 2021. The share scheme’s
possible reward for the two-year earning period 2022–2023 is based
on the company’s predetermined average earnings per share in the
financial statements for the years 2022 and 2023. The share
scheme’s possible reward for both earning periods will be paid in
May 2024.
The share scheme covers 21 individuals. The
total amount of share rewards payable on the basis of the earning
periods 2021 and 2022–2023 corresponds to a maximum of 155,000
Robit Plc shares, corresponding to 0.7% of the company’s current
share capital.
Long-term share-based incentive scheme for the
CEO 2019–2024
On 24 September 2019, the Board of Directors of
Robit Plc decided on a long-term share-based incentive scheme for
the CEO. The scheme covers Tommi Lehtonen, who started as the CEO
of the Group on 1 May 2019. The share reward scheme has three
earning periods and covers the period from 1 January 2019 to 31
December 2024.
The Board of Directors of Robit Plc sets targets
for each two-year earning period starting from 2019. The earning
periods end on 31 December 2020, 31 December 2022 and 31 December
2024 respectively. The rewards payable on the basis of this system

tax-related payments. The number of shares corresponds to
approximately 0.8% of the total number of the company’s shares.

2020.
RESOLUTIONS OF THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
2021
Robit Plc’s Annual General Meeting on 25 March
2021 adopted the financial statements for 1 January–31 December
2020 and resolved that no dividend would be paid based on the
adopted balance sheet for the financial year 2020.
The General Meeting resolved to discharge the
members of the Board of Directors and the Managing Directors from
liability for the financial year ending 31 December 2020.
The General Meeting decided to approve the
Remuneration Report for Governing Bodies. The decision was
advisory.
The General Meeting resolved that the Board of
Directors consists of six (6) members. Kim Gran, Mammu Kaario,
Mikko Kuitunen, Anne Leskelä, Kalle Reponen and Harri Sjöholm were
re-elected as members of the Board of Directors.
The annual remuneration for the Chairman of the
Board of Directors is EUR 45,000, of which 40% is paid in shares
and the remaining 60% is an advance tax withheld and paid to the
Finnish Tax Administration by the company. There is also a meeting
fee of EUR 500 per meeting. The fee is paid for meetings attended
by the Chairman of the Board. Other costs such as travel and
lodging expenses will also be compensated.
The annual remuneration for the Board members is
EUR 30,000, of which 40% is paid as shares and the remaining 60% is
an advance tax withheld and paid to the Finnish Tax Administration
by the company. There is also a meeting fee of EUR 500 per meeting.
The fee is paid for meetings attended by the member of the Board.
Other costs such as travel and lodging expenses will also be
compensated.
Members of the Working Committee, Personnel
Committee and Audit Committee are paid a financial compensation of
EUR 500 per meeting attended. Other costs such as travel and
lodging expenses will also be compensated.The annual remuneration
of the Chairman of the Board and Board members for the entire term
of office will be paid in December 2021. The part of the
remuneration paid in shares may be paid by issuing new shares in
the company or by acquiring shares by the authorisation given to
the Board of Directors by the General Meeting. The receiver of the
remuneration pays the transfer tax.
Ernst & Young Oy, an audit firm, was
re-elected as the company’s auditor for a term that will continue
until the end of the next Annual General Meeting. Ernst & Young
Oy has notified the company that Authorised Public Accountant Toni
Halonen will serve as the company’s principal responsible
auditor.
The General Meeting resolved to pay the
auditor’s remuneration in accordance with an invoice approved by
the company.
The General Meeting resolved to authorise the
Board of Directors to resolve the acquisition of a maximum of
2,108,390 treasury shares and/or accept the same number of the
company’s shares as a pledge, in one or several tranches by using
funds in the unrestricted shareholders’ equity. The maximum total
of shares that will be acquired and/or accepted as a pledge
corresponds to 10% all shares in the company as of the date of the
notice to the General Meeting. However, the company cannot,
together with its subsidiary companies, own or accept as a pledge
altogether more than 10% of its own shares at any point in time.
The company’s shares may be purchased under this authorisation
solely by using unrestricted shareholders’ equity.
The shares will be acquired otherwise than in
proportion to the share ownership of the shareholders via public
trading arranged by Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd at the market price on the
date on which the acquisition is made or otherwise at a price
formed on the market. The authorisation is proposed to be used e.g.
for the purposes of implementing the company’s share-based
incentive schemes or for other purposes as decided by the Board of
Directors.
It was resolved that the authorisation revokes
the authorisation granted by the General Meeting on 22 April 2020
to decide on the acquisition of treasury shares.
The authorisation is valid until the closing of
the next Annual General Meeting, however, no longer than until 30
June 2022.
The Annual General Meeting resolved to authorise
the Board of Directors to resolve on a share issue and on the
issuance of special rights entitling to shares as referred to in
Chapter 10 Section 1 of the Finnish Limited Liability Companies
Act, in one or more tranches, either against or without
consideration.
The number of shares to be issued, including
shares to be issued on the basis of special rights, may not exceed
2,108,390, which amounts to 10% of all shares in the company as of
the date of the notice to the Annual General Meeting. The Board of
Directors may decide to either issue new shares or to transfer any
treasury shares held by the company.
The authorisation entitles the Board of
Directors to decide on all terms that apply to the share issue and
to the issuance of special rights entitling to shares, including
the right to derogate from the shareholders’ pre-emptive right. The
authorisation shall be used e.g. for the purposes of strengthening
the company’s balance sheet and improving its financial status,
implementing the company’s share-based incentive systems or for
other purposes as decided by the Board of Directors.
The authorisation is valid until the closing of the
next Annual General Meeting, however, no longer than until 30 June
2022. The authorisation will revoke all previously granted, unused
authorisations to decide on a share issue and the issuance of
options or other special rights entitling to shares.
SHARES AND SHARE TURNOVER
On 31 December 2021, the company had 21,179,900
shares and 4,252 shareholders. The trading volume in
January–December was 5,866,628 shares (7,539,280).
The company holds 88,464 treasury shares (0.4%
of total shares). On 31 December 2021, the market value of the
company’s shares was EUR 85.4 million. The closing price of the
share was EUR 4.03. The highest price in the review period was EUR
6.46 and the lowest price EUR 3.65.
RISKS AND BUSINESS UNCERTAINTIES
Robit closely monitors the impact of COVID-19 on
demand in the sector. In general, customer activities have returned
to normal levels. The effects on Robit’s operations are now limited
and only affect individual countries or regions. COVID-19 continues
to restrict travel and thus the implementation of some testing and
sales growth projects. Robit will continue actions to protect the
health of its personnel and to ensure the continuity of the
company’s operations. At the time of reporting, all of the
company’s factories were operating at design capacity. No
disruptions in the supply chain have been identified that cannot be
managed, for example, with current inventory levels and supplier
cooperation.
The geopolitical situation, which is growing
tenser, poses a risk to the company’s business. The escalation of
the situation may affect the development of net sales and
profitability, especially in the East region, which accounts for
11% of the company’s sales. In addition, the effects of possible
sanctions on the smooth flow of payment transactions pose a risk to
the company’s cash flow and treasury management.
Other uncertainty factors include exchange rate
development, the functioning and commissioning of new information
systems, integration of corporate acquisitions, risks related to
the security of supply and logistics as well as the IPR risks.
Fully transferring the increase in raw material costs to customer
prices may pose a financial risk. Changes in export countries’ tax
and customs legislation may adversely impact the company’s export
trade or its profitability. Risks related to information security
and cyber threats may also have a detrimental effect on Robit’s
business. Potential changes in the business environment may
adversely impact the payment behaviour of the Group’s customers and
increase the risk of litigation, legal claims and disputes related
to Robit’s products and other operations.
CHANGES IN GROUP STRUCTURE
There were no changes in the Group structure during the
financial period.
OTHER EVENTS IN OCTOBER–DECEMBER 2021
On 22 October 2021, the company updated its
previous profit guidance for 2021. According to the new guidance,
Robit Plc expected the market situation to remain at a good level
for the rest of the year. The company estimated that net sales
would grow and comparable profitability would improve in 2021 as
follows: net sales would be EUR 97 to 101 million and adjusted
EBITDA would be at least EUR 7 million, assuming that the exchange
rates remained at the level of September 2021. According to the old
guidance, Robit expected the market situation to develop positively
and believed COVID-19 restrictions to have a limited impact on the
demand of the company’s products in 2021. Robit Plc estimated that
net sales for 2021 would grow and adjusted EBITDA profitability in
euros would improve compared with 2020.
On 28 October 2021, the company published its
interim financial reporting for 1 January–30 September 2021.
On 9 November 2021, the company published the
company’s schedule for financial information and the Annual General
Meeting of 2022.
On 16 December 2021, the Board of Directors of
Robit Plc decided to transfer a total of 19,500 shares of the
company as Board fees to the members of the Board of Directors on
the basis of the Board’s 2021 term of office. The transfer was
based on the authorisation given by the Annual General Meeting on
25 March 2021. At the closing price of 15 December 2021, the total
value of the shares to be transferred was EUR 78,000. It was
decided to transfer to CEO Tommi Lehtonen a total of 3,000 shares
as part of the fixed annual salary. The transfer was based on the
CEO agreement. At the closing price of 15 December 2021, the total
value of the shares to be transferred was EUR 12,000.00. It was
decided to transfer to CFO Arto Halonen a total of 1,500 shares as
part of the fixed annual salary. The transfer was based on the
executive employment contract. At the closing price of 15 December
2021, the total value of the shares to be transferred was EUR
6,000.00. Therefore, the total number of shares to be transferred
was 24,000 and their total value at the closing price of 15
December 2021 was EUR 96,000. The share rewards were paid with
Robit Plc’s treasury shares held by the company, so the total
number of Robit Plc’s shares did not change. Before the transfer,
Robit Plc held 112,464 treasury shares, which was 0.5% of the
company’s entire shareholding, and 88,464 after the transfers,
which was 0.4% of the company’s total shares. The share rewards
were paid by 23 December 2021.
EVENTS AFTER THE REVIEW PERIOD
On 20 January 2022, the company published the
proposals of Robit Plc’s Shareholders’ Nomination Committee for the
Annual General Meeting of 2022:
The Nomination Committee proposes that the Annual General
Meeting elect six (6) members to the Board of Directors.
The Nomination Committee proposes to the Annual
General Meeting that Kim Gran, Mikko Kuitunen, Anne Leskelä and

Board members is EUR 30,000, of which 40% is paid as shares and the
remaining 60% is an advance tax withheld and paid to the Finnish
Tax Administration by the company.
The Nomination Committee also proposes that the
Board members and the Chairman be paid a meeting fee of EUR 500 per
meeting attended for Board meetings and committee meetings. Other
costs such as travel and lodging expenses will also be
compensated.
The annual remuneration of the Chairman of the
Board and Board members for the entire term of office will be paid
in December 2022. The part of the remuneration paid in shares may
be paid by issuing new shares in the company or by acquiring shares
by the authorisation given to the Board of Directors by the General
Meeting. The receiver of the remuneration pays the transfer
tax.
The Nomination Committee’s proposals will be
included in the notice of the general meeting.
Timo Sallinen (Senior Vice-President,

the proposals for the Annual General Meeting of 2022, with Harri

1. SCOPE AND PRINCIPLES OF THE INTERIM REPORT
This financial statement release has been
prepared in accordance with the IAS 34 standard for interim
financial reporting and using the same principles as for the annual
financial statement. The financial statement release and interim
reports have not been audited. The company’s financial
statements for 2021 have been audited.
All figures in the summarised financial
statement have been rounded to the nearest figure, therefore the
sum of reported figures may not exactly match those presented.

2.2 CONSOLIDATING ALTERNATIVE KEY FIGURES
Robit presents alternative key figures to
supplement the key figures given in the Group’s income statements,
balance sheets and cash flow statements that have been drawn up
according to IFRS standards. Robit considers that the alternative
figures give significant extra insight into the result of Robit’s
operations, its financial position and cash flows. These figures
are often used by analysts, investors and other parties.
Alternative key figures should not be studied
apart from the key figures according to IFRS or instead of them.
Not all companies calculate their alternative key figures in the
same way, so Robit’s alternative figures may not be directly
comparable to those presented by other companies, even if they
carry the same headings.
The following events affect comparability: costs
relating to being listed on the stock exchange and share issue,
acquisition costs and business restructuring costs.

4. FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS
The company’s cash and cash equivalents were EUR
9.5 million on 31 December 2021. In addition, the company has EUR
3.5 million undrawn of the financing agreement of EUR 30.0 million
signed on 8 June 2021. The company’s sufficient liquidity is
secured through cash and a loan that has not been drawn down.
The parent company’s covenants are based on the
company’s net debt/EBITDA ratio and the company’s equity ratio. The
covenants are tested on a quarterly basis.
The covenant of Robit Plc’s financing agreement,
net interest-bearing debt/EBITDA, did not meet the terms of the
financing agreement on 31 December 2021. The company obtained the
consent of its main financier to the breach of the covenant on 21
December 2021.

7. GOODWILL IMPAIRMENT TESTING
The amount of goodwill is reviewed at least
annually in accordance with the IFRS provisions. The values of the
goodwill testing variables are also revised if there have been
material changes in business, competition, the market or other
assumptions of goodwill testing.
In the situation on 31 December 2021, the
company has carried out the annual impairment testing of the Down
the Hole and Top Hammer cash-generating units. In connection with
the testing, the company has assessed the changes caused by the
COVID-19 pandemic in the company’s operating environment and their
impact on the company’s long-term profitability and cash flows.
Based on the impairment testing, there is no need for goodwill
write-downs.
The recoverable amount of the Top Hammer
cash-generating unit is estimated to exceed the carrying amount of
the tested net assets by EUR 5,582,000, which represents 11% of the
carrying amount of the tested assets.
The recoverable amount of the Down the Hole
cash-generating unit is estimated to exceed the carrying amount of
the tested net assets by EUR 4,931,000, which represents 16% of the
carrying amount of the tested assets.
8. ACQUISITIONS
There were no changes in the Group structure during the review
period.
9. DERIVATIVES
The company hedges the most significant net
currency positions that can be predicted in terms of time, volume
and interest rate risk.
There were no open currency derivatives at the end of the review
period.
On 8 June, the company entered into a financing
agreement of EUR 30.0 million and, in connection with this, an
interest rate swap of EUR 10.0 million with an interest rate cap in
order to hedge part of its exposure to fluctuating interest rates.
The company applies hedge accounting to the interest rate swap in
accordance with IFRS 9. This effectively leads to the recording of
interest expenses in the income statement on a hedged floating rate
loan at a fixed rate.
The company’s main interest rate risk arises
from long-term loans with floating interest rates that expose the
Group’s cash flow to interest rate risk. The Group’s policy is to
use, if necessary, a floating to fixed interest rate swap.
