TREATMENT OF RESULT FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR

on 31 December 2021, EUR 1,518,952.39, be transferred to cumulative loss.

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.

1.8% to EUR 44.5 million (45.3). The decrease in net sales came from the Geotechnical segment, where the activity of the
project 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 will correspond to the value of a total of 160,000 Robit Plc shares, also including the amount of money used for
taxes and tax-related payments. The number of shares corresponds to approximately 0.8% of the total number of the
company’s shares.
The rewards of the incentive scheme are paid in three instalments after the end of each earning period. No reward was paid
to the CEO for the earning period ending on 31 December 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

Sustainability in Robit’s daily life
In 2021 Robit implemented a thorough ESG account project and launched an ESG roadmap as well as targets in the Capital
Markets Day in September 2021. The roadmap focuses on four main key themes: sustainable partnerships, CO2 emission
reduction in value chain, healthy and happy workplace, and efficiency throughout the product lifecycle.
Sustainable partnerships
Both upstream and downstream in its value chain, Robit develops the sustainability and operational performance through
long-term partnerships. Robit works with partners who share similar principles and targets when it comes to environment,
social responsibility, and governance.
In 2021 Robit created sustainability compliance documents for it´s important external stakeholders. Distributors having
contract with Robit and suppliers serving the needs of Robit production were asked to commit to Robit ESG principles.
Partners are engaged to support Robit sustainability targets. Sustainability approach have been added to supplier audit
agenda.
CO2 emission reduction in Robit’s value chain
Robit has identified CO2 reduction as one key focus area of sustainability. There are possibilities to effect to CO2 emissions
by making changes in company´s own operations. However, it is also recognized that there is potential for improvement by
influencing indirect effects and external stakeholders.
As a first step Robit has built CO2 calculation tool to recognize Scope 1 and 2 CO2 emissions caused by Robit´s own
operations. Robit’s 2020 carbon footprint (Scope 1 and 2) calculated according to Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG protocol)
Corporate Standard was 3 383-ton CO2e corresponding to 36.9-ton CO2e per million euro of net sales. To reduce emissions,
company have decided to increase share of green energy used in the factories. First change has been utilized in Robit
Australian factory in October 2021.
2021 KPI result: 36,7 CO2e per million euro of net sales (2020: CO2e per million euro of net sales), change to baseline -0,5
percent.
Healthy and happy workplace
Robit targets to be a desired employer and to offer a healthy workplace for its employees. In addition to complying with
statutory requirements the company wants to support employee wellbeing and competence development. “We respect
everybody” is one of the three Robit values that have been actively communicated to personnel.
Robit continually works to improve safety at the company. There is a Robit HSE Team in place, which coordinates safety
activities within the Group. Robit continues to build diversity and inclusion as a natural part of Robit culture. Diversity is
already today one of the strengths at Robit and there are tens of different nationalities working in the company. Several
communication channels for the personnel have been taken into use, including etc. Feeling Pulse for weekly feedback,
Yammer for informal discussions, Robit Talks where important topics, like values and company development areas are
discussed, and Whistleblowing
channel in accordance with the law.
Efficiency throughout product lifecycle
Efficiency throughout the product lifecycle means:
• material efficiency in product design and production,
• materials are sourced efficiently and from sources that share Robit’s ESG vision,
• increasing product lifetime through training and value adding services,
• decreasing waste in customers’ operations.
Especially big leverage is in optimizing Robit’s customers’ drilling operations. By optimizing the drilling operation, it is
possible to reduce energy consumption and increase rate of penetration and thus drilling efficiency. Robit has been training
it´s sales and distributors so that they would have better capability to find best products for the end-users and thus support
them to perform drilling in effective way.
ESG KPIs and targets
Robit has defined measurable targets for each four key themes in order to follow the realization of the ESG roadmap. Robit
launched the targets as a part of the ESG plan in September 2021.

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

2 Robit’s performance
2.1 Net sales and segment information
Accounting policies
Product sales
Robit enters into contracts with customers to supply its products, such as drill bits and casing systems. In general, these products
are standardised and require only limited specifications provided by customers. Robit is responsible for the purchase or
production of the products and in some cases also for their delivery. The performance obligation ends when the goods have
been delivered to the customer. If the performance obligation ends based on terms of delivery only when the customer has
received the goods, sales revenue is recognised at the time of receipt. The time of recognition of sales is specified by terms and
conditions in the sales contract, such as based on terms of delivery or the customer’s acceptance procedure.
Longer-term supply contracts covering individual purchase orders are also entered into with customers, for example for the
supply of consumables for mines or projects. The performance obligations associated with these longer-term contracts are
recognised based on terms of delivery at the time of delivery and are not partially recognised, for example based on the degree
of completion of the projects over time, because Robit’s products are consumables in nature. Return or repayment obligations
are generally not associated with supply contracts. Robit is responsible for ensuring that the products meet the customer’s
order in terms of technical specifications and also Robit’s own quality standards at the time of delivery. If a technical or
qualitative problem due to Robit is identified in a product, Robit is obliged to supply to customer with replacement products.
These obligations are assessed for each contract in turn, and a separate warranty provision is recognised for them (presented
in Note 5.5). Because the products are consumables in nature, no long-term warranty obligations that could be payable in future
financial years are associated with the products.
Some customer contracts may contain a variable discount component that allows the customer to receive a quantity discount
if the quantities of the original delivery contract are exceeded. In these cases, the realisation of the quantity discount is
estimated for each contract in turn and deducted for sales revenue based on the most probable value. The significance of such
contracts for the recognition of Robit’s sales revenue is currently very minor, however. For these reasons, no significant
judgmental decisions are made in the recognition of sales revenue.
Terms of payment and payment periods vary from customer to customer. The applied terms of payment and length of payment
period granted to the customer are influenced by, among other things, the geographical location of the customer and the
production plant and their distance from each other. In addition, the customer’s terms of payment are influenced by the
customer-specific credit risk, which is assessed based on the customer’s geographical location, the customer’s financial situation
and the customer’s previous payment behaviour. Typically, credit terms of payment are used with customers in cases where
the performance obligation ends before payment is received from the customer. Cash discounts are generally not used but, if
they are used, the cash discounts given are deducted from net sales. With some customers, an advance payment principle is
applied, and the advance payments received from customers are entered in the balance sheet (disclosed in Note 5.6). Significant
credit components are generally not associated with sales transactions.
Sales of products with after-sales support
Robit enters into service agreements with customers that include services such as technical support or training in addition to
supplying the products. These services bring added value for the client and they are not part of the integration of products that
takes place at the customer. The agreements therefore typically include more performance obligations, service and products
sold.
Selling prices are allocated to different performance obligations relative to their separate selling prices. Possible discounts are
allocated proportionately to all performance obligations. Product sales revenue is recorded at a specific time (see above),
whereas sales revenue for services is recognised over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the services
provided by Robit. The degree of fulfilment of a performance obligation relative to sales is measured using the output-based
method, whereby the degree of fulfilment is measured based on the service provided to date.

strategy, appointing key management positions, significant development projects, business combinations, investments,
organization structure and financing.

In order to manage the efficiency of the resources, the business is divided into two strategic business units (SBU): Top Hammer
and Down the Hole. The SBU’s are structured around the different drilling technologies but they have substantial synergies in
sales, manufacturing and sourcing.
Due to the Group’s structure and nature of business, the business is presented as one segment, which includes group services
and other items. The board of directors regularly reviews consolidated net sales and profitability of the group. In addition, the
board of directors reviews net sales of the sales regions and the strategic business units.

2.3 Employee benefits
Accounting policies
Short-term benefits
Short-term employee benefits include wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and annual leave compensations
expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date. Short-term benefits are recognized in other payables in
respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the
liabilities are settled.
Post-employment benefits
Robit’s pension plans are defined contribution plans. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group
pays fixed contributions into a separate entity with no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the
fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior
periods. Contributions to the defined contribution plans are charged directly to the statement of comprehensive income in
the year to which these contributions relate.
Other long-term benefits
Other long-term employee benefits are long-service leave or sabbatical leave, jubilee or other long-service benefits and
long-term disability benefits.
Robit has other long-term employee benefits plans in Australia (long-service leave) and in Korea (severance payment).
Robit key employees are obliged to take part into a long-term incentive plan based on initial investment to Robit shares. The
expense is accrued to the period, on which the employee is able to utilize the benefit.
Termination benefits
Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated by the Group before the normal retirement date, or
whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits.

Robit’s number of personnel increased in 2021 by 12 persons compared to 2020, with the total number of personnel being
273 at the end of the period under review (2020: 261). Robit’s average number of personnel was 267 persons during the
financial period 2021 and 257 in 2020.
Robit has both defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans. All pension plans are defined contribution plans. In
Australia, the employees are entitled to be paid long-service leave after 10 years of service in the same business. This
arrangement is defined as other long-term employee benefit and thus defined benefit plan. Expenses related to long-service
leave amounted to EUR 46 thousand for the year ended 31 December 2021 (2020: EUR 8 thousand). The liability related to
long-service fee amounted to EUR 257 thousand as at 31 December 2020 (2020: EUR 289 thousand).
In Korea, Robit has severance payment plan, where employees earn the benefit based on their service and the whole benefit
is paid to an employee when an employment ends. This plan meets the criteria of being other long-term employee benefit
and thus defined benefit plan. Expenses related to severance payment plan amounted to EUR 265 thousand for the year
ended 31 December 2021 (2020: EUR 197 thousand). The employee benefit obligation recognized for severance payment
plan amounted to EUR 467 thousand as at 31 December 2021 (2020: EUR 338 thousand).
Long-term remuneration: share-based incentive plan
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 additional share scheme has two commitment periods, which started on 1 September 2018 and 1 September 2019.
For shares subject to the share ownership conditions, the key person will receive shares as a reward after a commitment
period of around three years. Receiving the shares is dependent on the continuation of the employment or service contract
at the time of payment of the reward.
The rewards payable on the basis of the commitment period that started on 1 September 2018 will correspond to the value
of a maximum of 24,000 Robit Plc shares, also including the component payable in cash. The targets set for the earning
period 2018–2020 of the performance-based additional share scheme were not achieved, and no reward will be paid 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.
Long-term share-based incentive scheme for the CEO 2019–2024
15
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. The rewards payable on the basis of this system will
correspond to the value of a total of 160,000 Robit Plc shares, also including the amount of money used for taxes and tax-
related payments. The number of shares corresponds to approximately 0.8% of the total number of the company’s shares.
The rewards of the incentive scheme are paid in three instalments after the end of each earning period. No reward was paid
to the CEO for the earning period ending on 31 December 2020.
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, including 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 approximately 25 individuals. The company’s matching shares and performance
matching shares will be paid in April 2023. If all three main elements of the scheme are fulfilled in total as determined in the
plan and according to the target setting of the Board of Directors of the company, the maximum amount of shares issued
based on the plan will be 401,760 shares, corresponding to 2.1% of the entire current shareholding.
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.

3 Acquisitions and intangible assets
3.1 Acquisitions
Accounting policies
Robit applies the acquisition method to account for business acquisitions. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities in
business acquisitions are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The fair value of the consideration
transferred comprises the initial cash paid to the sellers and an estimate of any future payments Robit may be liable to pay
based on future performance of the business. This latter amount is classified as contingent consideration and can be either
classified as equity or a financial liability. Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred the amounts
payable in the future are discounted to their present value. Goodwill is initially measured as the excess of the aggregate of
the consideration transferred over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
Acquisitions in 2021
No acquisitions in 2021.
Acquisitions in 2020
No acquisitions in 2020.
3.2 Goodwill & impairment testing
Accounting policy
Goodwill arises on the acquisition of subsidiaries. Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of the acquisition over the
Group’s interest in the net fair value of the assets and liabilities of the acquiree. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment
and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. The allocation is made to those cash generating units or groups of
cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose.
The Group uses value in use calculations when assessing the recoverable amount. In assessing the recoverable amount,
estimated future net cash flows are discounted to their present value based on the weighted average pre-tax cost of capital.
The weighted average cost of capital reflects the current market view of the time value of money and risks related to the
units to be tested.
Key judgements and estimates – fair value of the acquired net assets
Net assets acquired through business combinations are measured at fair value. The measurement of fair value of the
acquired net assets is based on market value of similar assets (property, plant and equipment), or an estimate of expected
cash flows (intangible assets). The valuation, which is based on prevailing repurchase value, expected cash flows or
estimated sales price, requires management judgement and assumptions. The management trusts that the applied
estimates and assumptions are sufficiently reliable for determining fair values.

An impairment loss is charged to the statement of income when the carrying amount of CGU exceeds the recoverable
amount. Impairment loss is first allocated to goodwill and then to other assets on a pro rata basis. Impairment losses
recognized for goodwill in the statement of income are not reversed.

The goodwill of Top Hammer cash-generating unit has been tested for impairment as of December 31, 2021. The values
used for the goodwill testing and their impact are presented in the table below.
Based on the assumptions below, the recoverable amount of the Top Hammer cash-generating unit is estimated to exceed
the carrying amount of tested net assets by EUR 5 582 thousand, which represents 11 % of the carrying amount of the
tested assets.
Management has determined the values for key assumptions used in the impairment testing of the Top Hammer cash-
generating unit as follows:
Key judgements and estimates – goodwill impairment testing
The management makes significant estimates and judgements in determining the level at which the goodwill is tested
and whether there are any indications of impairment.
The goodwill in the Robit’s balance sheet arose mainly in June and July 2016 when Robit acquired Robit Australia and
Robit GB, but also acquisition in February 2017 of Halco. Robit has re-organized its Down the Hole business and
substantial savings in production and supply chain are expected to be gained. Robit has two CGU’s Top Hammer and
Down the Hole).
Cash flow estimates are based on management’s best estimates for future net sales, cost development, general market
conditions and applicable tax rates. The estimate covers following three-year period. The cash flows beyond this period
are based on the estimated growth rates stated below.
Management tests the effects of changes of significant estimates used in forecasts by sensitivity analyses in a way
described below.
20
Assumption
Approach used to determine values
Net sales growth
The cumulative annual growth rate for the revenue is expected to be 7.2 % (2020: 10.0%) during the
three-year forecast period. Net sales are expected to increase since training and development of the
distribution network has been targeted better as well as the Korean facility’s improved performance
allows more active pricing and enables growth of market share.
EBITDA-margin
Average EBITDA-margin is expected to be 11.4% (2020: 11.5 %) during the three-year forecasting
period. The long-term EBITDA is expected to be 14.0% (2020: 13.6 %) of the net sales. This is based on
implemented measures and management’s expectations for future development.
Long-term
growth rate
The long-term growth rate beyond three year forecast period is expected to be 1.5% (2020: 1.5%) per
annum. This in line with the expected long-term inflation rate.
Pre-tax discount
rate
The pre-tax discount rate used in impairment testing is 13.3% (2020: 13.1 %). This reflects the specific
risks relating to Down the Hole business and the countries in which it operates.
The recoverable amount of Top Hammer cash-generating unit would equal its carrying amount if any of the key
assumptions were to change as follows (keeping other assumptions constant):

If the long-term growth rate of the Top Hammer cash-generating unit beyond the three-year forecast period was 0.5%
instead of 1.5%, the recoverable cash flow would be 6.3% higher than the carrying amount:

The goodwill of Down the Hole cash-generating unit has been tested for impairment as of December 31, 2021. The values
used for the goodwill testing and their impact are presented in the table below.
Based on the assumptions below, the recoverable amount of the Down the Hole cash-generating unit is estimated to exceed
the carrying amount of tested net assets by EUR 4 931thousand, which represents 16 % of the carrying amount of the tested
assets.
Management has determined the values for key assumptions used in the impairment testing of the Down the Hole cash-
generating unit as follows:
Assumption
Approach used to determine values
Net sales growth
The cumulative annual growth rate for the revenue is expected to be 12.2% (2020: 8.2 %) during the
three-year forecast period. Net sales is expected to increase due to the synergies related to business
combinations after training of the distribution networks has been completed and the steady
development of the market.
EBITDA-margin
Average EBITDA-margin is expected to be 9.9% (2020: 11.2%) during the three-year forecasting period.
The long-term EBITDA is expected to be 12.0% (2020: 12.6%) of the net sales. This is based on
implemented measures and management’s expectations for future development.
21
Long-term
growth rate
The long-term growth rate beyond three-year forecast period is expected to be 1.5% (2020: 1.5%) per
annum. This in line with the expected long-term inflation rate.
Pre-tax discount
rate
The pre-tax discount rate used in impairment testing is 13.3% (2020: 12.7%). This reflects the specific
risks relating to Down the Hole business and the countries in which it operates.
The recoverable amount of Down the Hole cash-generating unit would equal its carrying amount if any of the key
assumptions were to change as follows (keeping other assumptions constant):

3.3 Other intangible assets
Accounting policy
Intangible assets are recognized in the balance sheet when the asset can be controlled by Robit, the expected future benefits
attributable to the asset will flow to Robit and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. An intangible asset is initially
recognized at cost, comprising of its purchase price and any directly attributable expenditures. Intangible assets are carried
in the balance sheet at acquisition cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.
Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method depending on the useful life of the asset. The appropriateness
of the amortization periods and method is assessed at each balance sheet date. The useful lives for Robit’s intangible assets
are as follows:
Years
Customer relationships
7-10
Brand
15
Intangible rights
5
Other intangible assets

Development costs
Development costs are capitalized when certain criteria related to economic and technical feasibility are met, and it is
expected that the product will generate future economic benefits. Capitalized development costs include mainly materials,
supplies and direct labour costs. Earlier expensed development costs are not capitalized later. Intangible assets under
development are not amortized, but they are tested for impairment at least annually.

Key judgements and estimates - capitalized development expenses
Costs incurred in the development phase of a development project are capitalized as intangible assets if a number of
criteria are met. Management has made judgements and assumptions when assessing whether a project meets these
criteria, and on measuring the costs and the economic life as well as the future cash inflows generated by the
development projects. Expected returns from capitalized development projects involve estimates and judgement from
the management about the future net sales and related costs. These estimates involve risks and uncertainties, and it is
possible that, following changes in circumstances, expected returns from capitalized development projects change.
Robit assesses indications of impairment for capitalized development projects. The value for capitalized development
projects may decrease, if the expected returns from new services change.
Key judgements and estimates related to intangible assets acquired in connection with business combinations are
discussed in section Acquisitions.

Intangible assets customer relationships and brand were recognized in connection with the acquisitions of Robit Australia
and Robit GB in 2016. Intangible rights include mainly patents. Robit aims to continue to strengthen its existing patent and
intellectual property portfolio by acquiring and licensing strategic patents, other intellectual property rights and
technologies. Other intangible assets inclue capitalised development costs and IT software.
Research and development
Robit continues to invest in its own product development projects and in collective product development projects in the
industry in order to secure a competitive and innovative offering. Total costs relating to research and development
recognized to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income were EUR 436 thousand in 2021 and EUR 566 thousand
in 2020. Robit has, among others, developed the Robit Sense Systems technology designed for monitoring and measuring
drilling results. Capitalized development expenses in the balance sheet amounted to EUR 436 thousand as at December 31st
2021 (2020: EUR 629 thousand).

4 Capital structure and financing
4.1 Share capital and reserves
Accounting policy
Robit’s equity consists of share capital, share premium, the reserve for invested unrestricted equity, translation differences,
and retained earnings. Changes in treasury shares owned by Robit are recorded in the retained earnings. Incremental costs
directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
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.
Share capital and share premium
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. The parent company has one share class, and each share has equal right to dividend.
Each share carries one vote at the general meeting. All shares issued by the parent company are fully paid. The shares have
no nominal value.
The table below presents the number of outstanding shares for the reported periods:

Liability Companies Act, which was in force until 31 August 2006, whereby the share premium account was credited with
the amounts in excess of the then current nominal value of the shares that were paid by shareholders in connection with
share issues.

Reserve for invested unrestricted equity
Under the Finnish Companies Act, the subscription price of new shares is credited to the share capital, unless it is provided
in the share issue resolution that it is to be credited in full or in part to the invested unrestricted equity reserve. Contributions
to the reserve for invested unrestricted equity can also be made without share issues.
Part of the Board of Directors yearly compensation was paid with Robit’s treasury shares in 2021 and 2020.
Dividends
The annual general meeting resolution March 25, 2021 was not pay dividend in 2021.
The annual general meeting on 22.4.2020 resolved to authorise Board of Directors to resolve that the maximum of EUR 0.03
per outstanding share, if any, be paid from the company’s distributable funds to the shareholders, if the financial position
of the Compaby is favourable to such distribution. The Board of Directors resolved not to use the authorisation and no such
distribution was made in 2020.

Accounting policy
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to owners of the parent company by the weighted
average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS is calculated on the same basis as Basic EPS
except that it reflects the impact of any potential commitments the Group has to issue shares in the future.

The Group did not have any instruments that would have dilutive impact on the earnings per share as at 31 December
2021 or 2020.

4.3 Borrowings
Accounting policy
Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred, and are subsequently carried at amortised
cost.
Transaction costs are amortized over the term of the loan and recognized as finance cost as part of interest expense using
effective interest rate method. Borrowings are derecognized when loan has been repaid or liability has been extinguished
for example in connection with refinancing.
Borrowings are recognized as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer the settlement of the
liability for at least 12 months after the end of reporting period.
The benefit of a government loan (Business Finland loan) at a below market rate of interest is treated as a government
grant. The loan itself is accounted for as described above. However, those government loans that have been withdrawn
before the date of transition to IFRS are recorded at their nominal value in accordance with the transitional provisions of
IFRS 1.

The Group’s management has determined that there is no material difference between the borrowings’ carrying value and
fair value because significant part of Robit’s loans are with variables interest rate. There have not been significant changes
in interest rates since the issue date of the loans and margins of loans are considered to reflect different conditions and
the subordination of the loans with reasonable accuracy. The management has assessed that there have not been
significant changes in credit risk since the loans were drawn-down.
Loans from credit institutions
A credit facility, totalling EUR 30.3 million, of which EUR 25.0 million is secured by a negative pledge that imposes on Robit
certain covenants and limitations regarding additional loans. The negative pledge states that (subject to certain exceptions)
Robit will not provide any other security over its assets, and will ensure that the following financial performance measures
(the original terms of the financing agreement) are met:
• Minimum equity ratio of 32.5% and
• Net debt/adjusted EBITDA ratio is defined to be 4.0
Robit Plc agreed in June 2021 on the restructuring of EUR 30.0 million in loans with its main financing bank and of that EUR
30.0 million was EUR 26.5 million drawn and converted old loans. The net debt/EBITDA ratio according to the new financing
agreement at the next covenant review date on 31 December 2021 must not exceed 4.0. In financial year 2022 the net
debt/EBITDA ratio must not exceed 3.0 on the first review date on 31 March and after that the ratio must not exceed 3.5
from the next review date 30.6.2022 onwards. The covenant of Robit Plc’s financing agreement, net interest-bearing
debt/EBITDA, was 4,5 and 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. Robit amortized its loans by EUR 1.5
million at the end of December. The interest rate margin on the new financing agreement is 2.4%. Robit has EUR 9.5 million
in cash assets at its disposal on 31 December 2021 and according to management estimates, will be able to meet its loan
amortization obligations and liquidity.
Other loans from financial institutions includes mainly variable rate bank loans. Information regarding guarantees for the
loans can be found in note 4.7.
Other loans
Other loans are Business Finland interest subsidized loans for Robit’s research and development projects. The loans
have an interest rate lower than the market rate.
Bank overdrafts
The Group had EUR 3 262 thousand liability as at 31 December 2021 (2020: EUR 3 739 thousand) related to its credit facility
agreement including one Finnish bank limit. The maximum amount at 31 December 2021 was EUR 6 000 thousand (2020:
EUR 4 000 thousand).
Finance lease liabilities
Lease liabilities are secured as the rights to the leased asset revert to the lessor in the event of default:
Lease liabilities are reported as use of asset liabilities with bank financing.

4.4 Financial assets
Accounting policies
The Group classifies all its financial assets in category “loans and receivables”. The classification depends on the purpose for
which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial
recognition.
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an
active market. Loans and receivables are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the
end of the reporting period. These are classified as non-current assets. The Group’s loans and receivables are included in
the consolidated balance sheet lines “Cash and cash equivalents”, “Loan receivables”, “Account and other receivables” and
“Other receivables” (non-current).
Loans and receivables at amortised cost mainly consist of accounts receivable and cash and cash equivalents that are not
quoted in an active market and that are not kept for trading purposes. Loans and receivables are measured initially at fair
value plus transaction costs, if any, and subsequently, at amortised cost using the effective interest method. An
impairment loss is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income if the carrying value of the loan receivable is
higher than the estimated recoverable amount.
Derivatives
The Group uses derivative contracts to hedge interest rate risk. Derivative contracts are initially recognized at fair value
and subsequently at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivative contracts are recognized in financial items through
profit or loss, unless they are designated as hedging instruments, in which case they are hedged in accordance with hedge
accounting.
Hedge accounting can be used to reduce the volatility due to fair value measurement in the income statement. In this
case, the asymmetry between the hedging instrument and the hedged item is eliminated when both affect the income
statement simultaneously. When starting a hedging relationship subject to hedge accounting, the Group prepares a
determination of the hedging relationship. the objective of risk management and the strategy for taking hedging.

Loan receivables
Loan receivables previously reported as share loan receivables amounted to EUR 182 thousand as at 31 December 2021
(2020: EUR 247 thousand). In previous years Robit has issued shares to its key employees and has promissory notes to
enable them to pay the share subscriptions. The interest rate used is the reference rate set by the Finnish Ministry of Finance
every six months. Interest is paid two times a year. No margin has been added to the reference rate. The amount of interest
subsidy is recognized as other operating expenses. In connection with the 2020 long term incentive plan and share issuance
30
to key personnel, the company granted loans for the payment of share subscription. The payment period for these loans is
8 years and the interest rate is 12-month Euribor plus a margin of 0.99%.
Loan receivables are measured at amortised cost because the criteria below are met:
- the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is holding financial assets in order to collect
contractual cash flows, and
- the terms of contract of the financial asset provide for cash flows at certain times which are solely the payment of
the principal and interest on the remaining amount of capital
Account and other receivables are described more detailed in note 5.3. Account and other receivables.
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash at hand and deposits held at call with banks.

4.5 Finance income and costs
Accounting policy
Finance costs consist of interest expenses on bank loans, bank overdrafts and other loans, foreign exchange losses on
financing activities.
Transaction costs related to loans are expensed in profit or loss using effective interest rate method. The effective interest
rate is the rate that discounts the estimated future payments through the expected life of a loan to the net carrying amount
of the financial liability. The calculation includes all fees paid by the contracting parties and transaction costs.
Interest income is recognized using the effective interest rate, unless the receipt of interest is uncertain. In such cases the
interest income is accounted for on a cash basis. Foreign exchange gains and losses on financing activities are recognized
within finance income or costs.
Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-
measured at their fair value. Fair value gains and losses on derivatives are recognized to the statement of comprehensive
income.

4.6 Financial risk and capital management
The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk and cash flow
interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management program focuses to seek to identify and
mitigate potential risks arising from financial markets, customer transactions and liquidity requirements.
Risks are identified, assessed and mitigated as a part of daily management routines. Majority of Group financing is done by
Robit Plc, minor investments or working capital needs may be financed locally.
The Board of Directors provides principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas, such as
foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and use of derivative financial instruments.
(a) Market risk
(i) Foreign exchange risk
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in the base currency against the quote
currency, with all other variables held constant, of the Group’s profit before tax and equity due to changes in the fair value
of financial assets and liabilities.
A reasonably possible change is assumed to be a 10% base currency appreciation or depreciation against the quote currency.
A change of a different magnitude can also be estimated fairly accurately because the sensitivity is nearly linear.

(ii) Cash flow interest rate risk
The Group’s interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Majority of the Group’s loans are with variables interest
rate which expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. During the presented periods, the Group’s borrowings at variable
rate were denominated in euro and South Korean Won.
At 31 December 2021, if interest rates had been 50 basis points higher with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit
for the year would have been EUR 152 thousand lower as a result of higher interest expense on floating rate interest-
bearing liabilities. Interest rate sensitivity has been calculated by shifting the interest curve by 50 basis points (due to low
market interest environment the lower scenario has not been presented). The interest position includes all external variable
rate interest-bearing liabilities.

(b) Credit risk
Credit risk arises mainly from cash and cash equivalents and credit exposures to customers from outstanding receivables.
Credit risk on cash and cash equivalents is managed at group level. Cash and cash equivalents are held in reputable mainly
Nordic banks. Each local entity is responsible for managing the credit risk for their account receivables balances. The local
entities have the responsibility to analyse the credit standing of each of their new clients before standard payment and
delivery terms and conditions are offered.
Before accepting a customer, the customer’s ability to pay the purchase transactions is carefully estimated through analysing
customer’s financial statements and current market position. Credit risk countering payment methods such as letter of
credit and advance payments are used in high risk regions. The Group has been able to collect also significantly overdue
receivables eventually.
The maximum exposure to the credit risk at the reporting dates are the carrying values of each class of financial assets
mentioned above.
The aging of the account receivables including bad debt provision deducted is as follows:

Key judgements and estimates - Overdue receivables
The Group applies the simplified approach defined in IFRS 9 for the recognition of expected credit losses, according to
which lifetime expected losses can be recognised for all trade receivables.
For the purpose of determining expected credit losses, trade receivables are classified on the basis of shared credit
risk characteristics and delayed payment. Expected loss rates are based on sales payment profiles over a 12-month
period before 31 December 2021 and on actual credit losses incurred during that period. Actual loss rates are
adjusted to reflect current and future-oriented information and macroeconomic factors that affect the ability of
customers to make a payment of receivables.
34
The Group has only one type of financial assets subject to the expected credit loss model: trade receivables from sales of
product and maintenance services. Although cash and cash equivalents and liabilities recognised at amortised cost are also
subject to impairment testing under IFRS 9, the impairment loss observed is not material.
On the basis of this, entries reducing the carrying amount of trade receivables were made, amounting to EUR 724 thousand
in financial year 2021 and EUR 842 thousand in 2020. For the calculation of the impairment of trade receivables, see Note
5.3.
(c) Liquidity risk
Cash flow forecasting is performed in the Group’s finance function. Group finance function monitors the Group’s liquidity
requirements monthly to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs while maintaining sufficient headroom on
its undrawn committed facilities at all times. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 9 525 thousand as at 31 December
2021 (2020: EUR 14 339 thousand). Operating cash flows and liquid funds are the main source of financing for the future
payments together with possible new debt or equity financing.
Covenants on the Group’s interest-bearing financial liability drawn-down in 2021 are monitored regularly. The financial
covenants are the equity ratio and the net debt in relation to EBITDA. The minimum equity ratio is agreed to be 32,5%.
Minimum net debt to EBITDA ratio was defined to be 4.0 at 31 December 2021 review date. The net debt/EBITDA ratio
according to the new financing agreement at the next covenant review date on 31 March 2022 must not exceed 4.0.
Financial year 2021 will return to the original covenant on the net debt/EBITDA ratio, which must not exceed 2.5. The
covenant of Robit Plc’s financing agreement, net interest-bearing debt/EBITDA, was 4,5 and 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. We are referring to note 4.3 information on the covenant breach.
The Group’s equity ratio 42.2 % as at 31 December 2021 (2020: 45.5%) is strong and the Group is able to draw external
financing in case that operational cash flows are not sufficient. The Group does not invest actively surplus cash held. The
Group’s target is to achieve both organic and structural growth and cash balances are directed to those purposes.
The table below analyses the Group’s non-derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the
remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the
contractual undiscounted cash flows.

Capital management
Robit defines capital as equity plus borrowings as shown on the balance sheet 31.12.2021 EUR 82 942 thousand (2020 EUR
82 556 thousand). Robit’s capital management’s target is to keep capital structure that supports the business by ensuring
the operating conditions and to increase shareholder value by aiming at a competitive return on invested capital. The capital
structure shall take into account both current and future business needs, as well as ensure competitive cost of financing.
Robit board monitors equity ratio and net interest-bearing debt to EBITDA ratio. The equity ratio is calculated as
shareholders' equity divided by total assets less advances received.
The capital structure can be affected, among other things, by the dividend distribution and share issues. If necessary, Robit
has the opportunity to acquire own shares and to issue new shares in accordance with mandates by General Meeting. The
Group's equity ratio was 42.2 (2020: 45.5) per cent and the ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA was 4.5 as at 31 December
2021. We are referring to note 4.3 information on the covenant breach.
Cooperation with banks is based on long-term banking relationships. In the long-term goal is to service Robit’s loan
obligations by operating cash flow. During the phase of rapid growth, capital may be acquired both equity and debt financing
terms.

5 Operating assets and liabilities
5.1 Property, plant and equipment
Accounting policy
Property, plant and equipment is initially recognized at historical cost which comprises of the purchase price and other
expenditures directly related to the acquisition that are necessary for bringing the asset to its operating condition and
location. Items of property, plant and equipment are carried in the balance sheet at cost less any accumulated depreciation
and any accumulated impairment losses. Items of property, plant and equipment leased under the lease terms are
accounted for similarly to purchased property, plant and equipment. Repair and maintenance costs are recognized as
expenses at the time they incur.
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives,
as follows:
Years
Buildings and structures
10-30
Machinery and equipment
5-15
Other tangible assets
5-10
The assets’ useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.
Gains or losses on disposal of property, plant and equipment are included either within other operating income or other
operating expenses in the statement of comprehensive income.
Property, plant and equipment is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying
amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and
value in use.

to their present location and condition. The costs of purchase of inventories comprise the purchase price, import duties
and other taxes, transport, handling and other costs directly attributable to the acquisition of finished goods, materials
and services. Trade discounts, rebates and other similar items are deducted in determining the costs of purchase. The
costs of conversion of inventories include direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of variable and
fixed overhead expenditure, the latter being allocated on the basis of normal operating capacity. Costs are determined
using weighted average costs.

Key judgements and estimates - Inventory valuation
Inventory valuation requires management estimates and judgements specially relating to obsolescence and recording
inventory to net realizable value based on expected selling prices as well as the management’s assessment of the general
market development in the Robit’s main markets. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of
business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to complete the sales.

5.3 Account and other receivables
Accounting policies
Account receivables are amounts due from customers for goods sold or services performed in the ordinary course of
business. Account receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost less impairment.
The Group uses a simplified approach to estimating expected credit losses. To estimate credit losses, trade receivables are
grouped on the basis of credit risk characteristics and past-due dates. Impairment is recognized in the statement of
comprehensive income under other operating expenses.
Other receivables include mainly prepaid expenses and accrued income from the usual operating activities of the Group.

Classification of accounts receivables
Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for goods sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.
They are generally due for settlement within 30-90 days and therefore are all classified as current. Trade receivables are
recognised initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional unless they contain significant financing
components, when they are recognised at fair value. The group holds the trade receivables with the objective to collect the
contractual cash flows and therefore measures them subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Details about the group’s impairment policies and the calculation of the loss allowance are provided in note 4.6.
5.4 Account and other payables
Accounting policy
Account payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business
from suppliers. Account payables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using

5.5 Provisions
Accounting policy
Return or repayment obligations are generally not associated with supply contracts. Robit is responsible for ensuring that
the products meet the customer’s order in terms of technical specifications and also Robit’s own quality standards at the
time of delivery. If a technical or qualitative problem due to Robit is identified in a product, Robit is obliged to supply to
customer with replacement products. These obligations are assessed for each contract in turn, and a separate warranty
provision is recognised for them. Because the products are, in nature, consumables, no long-term warranty obligations
that could be payable in future financial years are associated with the products.
A provision has been made estimating warranty claims for the products sold in which a technical or qualitative problem
has been identified. These claims are expected to be settled over the next year and are therefore reported as current
provisions. The amount of the provision was EUR 0 thousand at 31 December 2021 (2020: EUR 89 thousand).

not an usual way of doing business.

6.1 Subsidiaries and foreign currencies
Accounting policy
Consolidation
Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to,
or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its
power over the entity.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and are de-consolidated from
the date that control ceases. All intercompany transactions, receivables, liabilities, unrealized profits and distribution of
profits within Robit Group are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. Accounting principles of subsidiaries have
been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the principles adopted by the Group.
Foreign currency translation
Assets and liabilities in foreign subsidiaries are translated into euro at the rate prevailing on the balance sheet date. Income
and expenses in foreign subsidiaries are translated into euro using an average rate. Translation differences that arise when
translating the financial statements of subsidiaries are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in
translation differences reserve in equity.
Foreign currency denominated transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing
at the dates of the transactions or if items have been revalued, using the measurement date exchange rates. Foreign
exchange gains and losses arising in respect of business operations, such as sales and purchases, are recognized in relevant
lines above operating profit. Foreign exchange differences arising from financing transactions are recognized in finance
income and costs.

Robit when operating in South Africa. Robit SA directed a share issue to the Trust. As a result, the Trust owns 26% of the
shares of Robit SA. However, Robit SA is considered to have control over the Trust. 4% of the shares were issued directly
to one of the key employees of Robit SA. The purpose and nature of the arrangement is to remunerate certain employees
of Robit SA. This arrangement is accounted as a remuneration.

6.2 Taxes
Income tax expense
Accounting policy
The income tax expense consists of current tax and changes in deferred tax. Tax is recognized in the consolidated profit
or loss statement or if tax relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, then the related
tax is recognized in other comprehensive income or equity correspondingly.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the local tax laws and tax rates enacted or substantively enacted
at the end of the reporting period in relevant countries where the Group operates and generates taxable income.
Income taxes recognized in consolidated income statements differ from the income taxes calculated using the Finnish
tax rate as follows:

Accounting policy
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are accounted for using the liability method for all temporary differences arising between
the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax is
determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and are
expected to be applied when the related deferred tax asset is realized or the deferred tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences except for deferred tax liability where the timing
of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will
not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable
profit will be available against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilised.
Realisable value of deferred tax assets is assessed at each balance sheet date and adjustments are made in case there is
indication that utilisation of deferred tax assets would no longer be probable.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets
against current tax liabilities and when the deferred taxes assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same
taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the
balances on a net basis.
Key judgements and estimates - deferred tax assets and liabilities
Judgement is required in assessing whether deferred tax assets and certain deferred tax liabilities are recognized on the
balance sheet. Deferred tax assets are recognized only where it is considered more likely than not that they will be recovered,
which is dependent on the generation of sufficient future taxable profits. Assumptions about the generation of future taxable
profits depend on management’s estimates of future cash flows that relate among others to the amount of future net sales,
operating costs and finance costs. The Group’s ability to generate taxable income depends also on factors related to general
economy, finance, competitiveness and regulations that the Group is unable to control. These estimates and assumptions
are subject to risk and uncertainty, hence it is possible that changes in circumstances will alter expectations, which may
impact the amount of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities recognized on the balance sheet and the amount of
other tax losses and temporary differences not yet recognized.
The Group’s management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable
tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to
be paid to the tax authorities. The amount of current income tax liabilities for identified uncertain tax positions is recognized
when it is probable that certain tax positions will be challenged and may not be fully sustained upon review by tax authorities.

AUDITOR’S REPORT (Translation of the Finnish original)
To the Annual General Meeting of Robit Plc
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Robit Plc (business identity code 0825627-0) for the year ended 31 December
2021. The financial statements comprise the consolidated balance sheet, statement of comprehensive income, statement
of changes in equity, statement of cash flows and notes, including summaries of significant accounting policies, as well as
the parent company’s balance sheet, income statement, statement of cash flows and notes.
In our opinion
• the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the group’s financial position as well as its
financial performance and its cash flows in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as
adopted by the EU.
• the financial statements give a true and fair view of the parent company’s financial performance and financial
position in accordance with the laws and regulations governing the preparation of financial statements in Finland
and comply with statutory requirements.
Our opinion is consistent with the additional report submitted to the Audit Committee.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with good auditing practice in Finland. Our responsibilities under good auditing
practice are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Financial Statements section of our report.
We are independent of the parent company and of the group companies in accordance with the ethical requirements that
are applicable in Finland and are relevant to our audit, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in
accordance with these requirements.
In our best knowledge and understanding, the non-audit services that we have provided to the parent company and group
companies are in compliance with laws and regulations applicable in Finland regarding these services, and we have not
provided any prohibited non-audit services referred to in Article 5(1) of regulation (EU) 537/2014. The non-audit services
that we have provided have been disclosed in note 2.4 to the consolidated financial statements and in note Auditors’ fees
detail to the parent company financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the
financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial
statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
53
We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of
procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements. The
results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for
our audit opinion on the accompanying financial statements.
We have also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls. This includes consideration of whether
there was evidence of management bias that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.
Key Audit Matter
How our audit addressed the Key Audit Matter
Revenue recognition
We refer to the Group’s accounting principles and
the note 2.1.
Robit Group’s revenues in 2021 amounted to
100,8 million euros consisting mainly of drilling
machinery consumables such as drill bits and
casing systems. Revenue from sale of goods is
recognized at a point in time, when control of the
goods is transferred to customer, typically at the
time of delivery of the goods.
The Group focuses on revenue as a key
performance measure which could create the
incentive for revenue to be recognized too early.
Revenue recognition was a key audit matter and a
significant risk of material misstatement referred
to in EU Regulation No 537/2014, point (c) of
Article 10(2) because of the risk of correct timing
of revenue recognition (cut off).
Our audit procedures to address the risk of
material misstatement relating to revenue
recognition included, among others:
•
we assessed the reasonableness of the
Group’s accounting policies over
revenue recognition and compliance
with applicable accounting standards.
•
we assessed the process and methods
for revenue recognition.
•
we tested the recorded sales
transactions during the year against
underlying documents on a sample
basis.
•
we tested the sales cut off on either side
of the balance sheet date on a sample
basis.
•
we obtained confirmations of receivable
balances at year end from customers
and analyzed credit invoices issued after
the balance sheet date.
•
we performed analytical procedures on
revenues.
•
we considered the appropriateness of
the
Group’s disclosures in respect of revenues.
54
Goodwill valuation
We refer to the Group’s accounting principles and
the note 3.2.
At the financial statement date, the value of Robit
Group’s goodwill amounted to 5,5 million euros
representing 5 % of total assets and 11 % of total
equity. The Group management uses assumptions
in respect of determining weighted average cost
of capital and future market and economic
conditions such as economic growth, revenue and
margin developments.
Goodwill valuation was a key audit matter and a
significant risk of material misstatement referred
to in EU Regulation No 537/2014, point (c) of
Article 10(2) because the impairment testing
involves estimates and significant judgment from
management.
Our audit procedures to address the risk of
material misstatement relating to goodwill
valuation included, among others:
•
we involved our valuation specialists to
assist us in evaluating the assumptions
and methodologies used by the Group in
the testing, in particular those related to
the determination of weighted average
cost of capital.
•
we focused on the sensitivity in the
available headroom by cash generating
unit and whether any reasonably
possible change in assumptions could
cause the carrying amount to exceed its
recoverable amount. We tested the
allocation of the assets, liabilities,
revenues and expenses to each of the
cash generating units.
•
we assessed retrospectively the
outcome of the management’s historical
estimates.
•
we considered the appropriateness of
the Group’s disclosures in respect of
impairment testing.
55
Key Audit Matter
How our audit addressed the Key Audit Matter
Valuation of trade receivables
We refer to the Group’s accounting principles and
the notes 4.4, 4.6 and 5.3.
Valuation of trade receivables was a key audit
matter because of the significance of overdue
trade receivables to the financial statements as a
whole. As of balance sheet date December 31,
2021, the carrying value of trade receivables
amounted to 21,2 million euros. Carrying value of
trade receivables is a result of gross receivables
netted by a provision for credit losses. Valuation
of trade receivables requires management to
estimate the amount of expected credit losses for
the accrued provision for credit losses.
We performed, among others, the following audit
procedures:
•
we evaluated the valuation methods
applied on valuation of trade receivables
as well as performed analyses of
overdue and undue gross receivable
balance development and corresponding
movement in credit loss provision during
the year.
•
we sent receivable balance confirmation
requests to the Group’s customers and
compared trade receivable balances to
subsequent cash receipts.
•
we analysed management’s estimates of
expected credit losses of the most
significant aged and overdue receivables
considering historical payment patterns
as well as recent communications with
the counterparties and dunning
procedures.
•
we considered the appropriateness of
the Group’s disclosures in respect of
trade receivables.

In preparing the financial statements, the Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for assessing the
parent company’s and the group’s ability to continue as going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating to going
concern and using the going concern basis of accounting. The financial statements are prepared using the going concern
basis of accounting unless there is an intention to liquidate the parent company or the group or cease operations, or there
is no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance on whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable
assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with good auditing
practice will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could
reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with good auditing practice, we exercise professional judgment and maintain
professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error,
design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from
fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
parent company’s or the group’s internal control.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and
related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors’ and the Managing Director’s use of the going
concern basis of accounting and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists
related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the parent company’s or the group’s ability to
continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention
in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are
inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of
our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the parent company or the group to cease
to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures,
and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events so that the financial
statements give a true and fair view.
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business
activities within the group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for
57
the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit
opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and
timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we
identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of
most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit
matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about
the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in
our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public
interest benefits of such communication.
Other Reporting Requirements
Information on our audit engagement
We were first appointed as auditors by the Annual General Meeting on 26 March 2013, and our appointment

Directors prior to the date of this auditor’s report, and the Annual Report is expected to be made available to us after
that date.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified
above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial
statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. With respect to
report of the Board of Directors, our responsibility also includes considering whether the report of the Board of
Directors has been prepared in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations.
In our opinion, the information in the report of the Board of Directors is consistent with the information in the financial
statements and the report of the Board of Directors has been prepared in accordance with the applicable laws and
regulations.
58
If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s

We have nothing to report in this regard.
