Board of Directors for decision according to its meeting proto-  
cols and underlying material prepared. The committee annually  
evaluates the CEO's remuneration and presents recommenda-  
tions to the Board of Directors for a decision. When the Compa-  
ny's remuneration policy proposes a change, it is subject to ap-  
proval in the annual general meeting. The committee has pre-  
pared a separate Remuneration Report to be presented at the  
annual general meeting. The remuneration report provides an  
overview of the total remuneration received by each member of  
the Board of Directors and the executive management board of  
Napatech. The report is available at http://www.na-  
patech.com/remuneration/report2024.  
The Company's Board of Directors recognizes the importance of  
good Corporate Governance. This is ensured through interaction  
between shareholders, the Board of Directors, and the admin-  
istration. Napatech's goal is that all interested parties are confi-  
dent that the group's activities are carried out acceptably and  
that the governing body has sufficient insight and influence to  
undertake their functions.  
The communication between the Company and shareholders  
primarily takes place at the annual general meeting, quarterly  
reporting, and via company announcements. The company  
shareholders are encouraged to subscribe to our newsletter ser-  
vice to receive company news via email.  
The Audit Committee is composed of two members of the Board  
of Directors. Howard Bubb is the Chairman of the committee,  
and Christian Jebsen is the other member. This committee sup-  
ports the Board of Directors in fulfilling its responsibilities con-  
cerning financial reporting, auditing matters, internal control,  
and risk matters. The Audit Committee has two meetings per  
year with the company auditors.  
Guidelines on Corporate Governance are approved annually by  
the Board of Directors or when deemed necessary.  
Napatech A/S is subject to Danish law but is listed on Euronext  
Oslo. Napatech follows the Danish recommendations for good  
Corporate Governance. The Company follows the majority of the  
Danish recommendations for good Corporate Governance ex-  
cept for a few areas where Napatech has chosen a different ap-  
proach compared to the recommendations. The statutory report  
on Corporate Governance is available at http://www.na-  
patech.com/corporate-governance/report2024.  
The Company's Board of Directors shall have a diverse composi-  
tion and competence tailored to meet the Company's needs. The  
Board of Directors' work complies with the Company's internal  
instructions, guidelines, and procedures for the Board members.  
The Board normally also carries out a self-assessment of its ac-  
tivities and competence.  
The Board of Directors has established two committees within  
the Board: the Remuneration Committee and the Audit Commit-  
tee, which both are sub-committees of the Board (the Board  
committees report to the Board of Directors) and operate ac-  
cording to the established internal procedures for each commit-  
tee decided by the Board of Directors.  
The Company's corporate governance guidelines, including the  
annual Corporate Governance status, can be found in the inves-  
tor relations section www.napatech.com/investor-relations.  
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES  
The group is, due to its normal course of business, exposed to  
many risk factors. The group operates in a technology market  
that could change the need for the solutions that Napatech pro-  
vides. The customers are mainly large tier-one customers with  
normal credit terms. The group is not significantly exposed to  
credit risks, but as some customers are large, the outstanding  
amounts can potentially be substantial.  
General Shareholder Meetings

Committee  
The group is exposed to operational risks due to the dependence  
on suppliers to deliver both components and the finished prod-  
ucts necessary to recognize revenue. The group's growth partly  
depends on the delivery and adoption of new products and func-  
tionalities by the market.  
Remuneration  
Committee  
Executive Management Team  
The Remuneration Committee is composed of two members of  
the Board of Directors. Beth Topolovsky is the Chairman of the  
Remuneration Committee, and Svenn Tore Larsen is a member.  
As the group has all revenue in USD, as well as some assets in  
USD, there is a risk that fluctuations in the USD exchange rate  
will affect our financial performance.  
The Remuneration Committee handles the Company's remuner-  
ation policy and program and presents recommendations to the

RISK MANAGEMENT AND INTERNAL CONTROL  
and responsibly, and our approach to the handling of data is  
based on three key principles: trust, integrity, and security.  
Managing risk related to the group's financial performance is  
controlled by our CFO. The Board of Directors receives monthly  
financial reports from the finance department, including key fi-  
nancial and operational performance indicators. The Company  
presents interim management statements for Q1, Q3, and Q4  
and a half-year report per IAS 34 to the market.  
Napatech uses and processes data, both nonpersonal data and  
personal data. We collect data regarding Napatech employees  
for administrative purposes and contact details on customers  
and their employees so we can deliver our consultancy services.  
We also collect data from our webpage mainly for marketing  
purposes and data directly from our customers when we create  
customer accounts in our systems.  
DATA ETHICS POLICY  
In compliance with the requirements under section 99(d) of the  
Danish Financial Statements Act, Napatech has implemented a  
data ethics policy. Napatech complies with both Danish and EU  
laws on data and privacy protection, and we recognize that  
thoughtful and responsible decision-making guided by internal  
policies can be needed as laws and regulations sometimes do not  
necessarily provide clear ethical guidance.  
To earn the trust of our customers, employees, and sharehold-  
ers, we process all data with the utmost respect for the sensitiv-  
ity of the data and any privacy rights. We do not buy or sell cus-  
tomer data to third parties, and we do not use artificial intelli-  
gence and machine learning in the analysis of any data. Making  
sure that our processing activities and security measures match  
the requirements for the data we are handling, we always apply  
our standards for data ethics to the way we work, whether we  
process personal data or other types of data.  
Napatech wants to be perceived as a respected, competent, and  
proper business partner who complies with current legislation  
and follows developments in good data ethics. We aspire to treat  
all the data we produce as part of our daily operations ethically

Corporate Social Responsibility  
CORPORATE SOCIAL  
RESPONSIBILITY  
CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY  
Napatech's value chain consists of the following main activities:  
In 2024, the Board of Directors took a proactive step by initiating  
an ESG development initiative. This aimed to ensure Napatech is  
well-prepared for the new sustainability reporting requirements,  
including the new EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Di-  
rective (CSRD) and the European Sustainability Reporting Stand-  
ards (ESRS) that underpin it.  
Research and development: designing, developing, and testing  
programmable network interface cards and software for pro-  
grammable NICs.  
Procurement: sourcing components and services from suppliers.  
Manufacturing: outsourced assembly, testing, and quality con-  
trol of Napatech's smart NICs.  
Reporting on the CSRD is a significant undertaking, and while Na-  
patech is not legally obligated to report on CSRD until 2026 at  
the earliest, we have chosen to proactively enhance our sustain-  
ability reporting. The sustainability statement is prepared with  
reference to the ESRS. We have aimed to begin implementing  
the key principles of the standards and to align them as closely  
as possible with the other sections of our annual report, demon-  
strating our steadfast commitment to sustainability.  
Distribution: outsourced storage, packaging, and delivery of Na-  
patech's products to customers.  
Sales and Marketing: promotion, pricing, and selling of Na-  
patech's products and services to customers through direct and  
indirect channels.  
Support: troubleshooting Napatech's products and supporting  
customers.  
Our CSR reporting for 2024 regarding section 99a of the Danish  
Financial Statements Act on corporate social responsibility  
stated below is therefore based on the material topics deter-  
mined by the ESRS guidelines.  
DOUBLE MATERIALITY ASSESSMENT  
The starting point for Napatech’s sustainability reporting is the  
materiality assessment performed by our management and  
Board of Directors. As a key element of our work to prepare for  
CSRD reporting, we have conducted a double materiality assess-  
ment following the ideas of the ESRS guidelines.  
NAPATECH BUSINESS MODEL & VALUE CHAIN  
Napatech's business model centers on developing and selling  
high-performance, programmable network interface cards and  
software for programmable NICs. Production of the hardware is  
outsourced to a contract manufacturer. This model is designed  
to ensure efficiency and sustainability across our value chain,  
from product development to customer service.  
We have assessed how we affect the environment and society  
(impact materiality) and how sustainability issues can affect us  
financially (financial materiality). All evaluated impacts and risks  
are linked to their corresponding topical ESRS standard. The top-  
ic's highest-scored impact or risk decides the position in our dou-  
ble materiality matrix. We based our value chain assessments on  
internal knowledge and mostly looked at our first-tier suppliers.  
Napatech's solutions consist of three main components:  
The hardware devices.  
The software drivers and tools are software components that  
enable the integration of Napatech's programmable NICs with  
various applications and platforms.  
In our impact assessment, we considered both positive and neg-  
ative effects and current and future effects related to sustaina-  
bility. In our financial assessment, we measured possible sustain-  
ability-related risks that could have a negative financial impact  
on our business. We applied the ESRS guidance and used three  
criteria of 'scale', 'scope', and 'irremediable character' to assess  
the 'severity' of our actual impacts. Due to the complexity of as-  
signing exact values for possible sustainability risk scenarios, we  
have primarily used qualitative assessments to evaluate the per-  
ceived risks when scoring them.  
Professional services, such as engineering consulting, extended  
warranties, and support services.  
Napatech's strategy is to leverage its core competencies in net-  
work acceleration technology and innovation and to expand its  
market presence and customer base in emerging markets.  
Napatech's strategic objectives are to:  
Grow its revenue and profitability by increasing its market share,  
diversifying its product portfolio, and enhancing customer loy-  
alty and satisfaction.  
The materiality threshold, set by our Board of Directors, is 'sig-  
nificant'. This means that impacts and risks perceived as 'signifi-  
cant' or higher, and the ESRS topic related to them, are consid-  
ered material.  
Strengthen its competitive advantage by investing in research  
and development and collaborating with strategic partners.  
Enhance its sustainability performance by minimizing its envi-  
ronmental footprint, promoting social responsibility and ethical  
conduct, and engaging with its stakeholders and communities.  
MATERIAL ESRS TOPICS IN NAPATECH  
Our preliminary scoring of each ESRS topic highlights that the  
most important sustainability matters for Napatech are E1, E2,  
S1, S2, S4, and G1.

smelter database, and corrective steps are taken when needed.  
The screening and data collection procedure is outsourced to  
Greensoft. Since 2018, all our products have been 100% conflict-  
free. Our commitment to achieving 100% conflict-free products  
is supported by our membership in the Responsible Minerals In-  
itiative.  
Napatech has contracted with Greensoft Technology to collect  
material information on the components from our suppliers.  
Greensoft Technology contacts our suppliers and requests Full  
Material Disclosures for each component, when possible, and if  
not, declarations of compliance with the following industry  
standards and environmental requirements:  
RoHS-2 per EU Directive of 2011/65/EU and EU Directive of  
2015/863/EU.  
ESRS STANDARD: ESRS E1 CLIMATE CHANGE  
REACH SVHC per EU Regulation EC/1907/2006 and ECHA’s up-  
dated Candidate List.  
REACH Annex-17 per EU Regulation EC/1907/2006.  
Napatech is committed to conducting business operations in an  
environmentally responsible manner. Our strategy focuses on  
reducing emissions through energy efficiency, engaging with  
suppliers to lower our overall carbon footprint, and increasing  
the use of renewable energy.

During 2025, Napatech plans to analyze the various initiatives  
available for us to approach carbon neutrality and develop an  
implementation plan to achieve our goal. Napatech is looking  
into ways to improve our energy efficiency and will consider get-  
ting more electricity from renewable sources.  
Napatech is using the Climate Compass provided by the Danish  
Business Authority to calculate its energy consumption and  
greenhouse gas emissions. Our ambition is to reduce our carbon  
intensity. As working with the Climate Compass is still new to us,  
we will use 2025 to increase our knowledge of the mechanism  
involved and set a specific target for reducing our carbon inten-  
sity by the end of 2025.  
Most emissions are scope 2 and 3 emissions, except for the emis-  
sions from the company car fleet. The only greenhouse gas emis-  
sion that Napatech has and accounts for is carbon dioxide.  
To reduce the negative impact of waste materials on the envi-  
ronment and to protect human health, Napatech provides infor-  
mation to the European SCIP database about hazardous sub-  
stances in our products. This information enables proper han-  
dling, recycling, and disposal of products containing hazardous  
substances and informs consumers about the presence of such  
substances.  
Napatech is looking into different ways to improve our energy  
efficiency and will consider getting more of our electricity from  
renewable sources. In the office, Napatech recycles plastic,  
shredded paper, and printer cartridges to minimize the environ-  
mental effects of the production hereof.  
Reporting on our compliance with various restrictions on sub-  
stances under regulatory requirements such as RoHS,  
REACH/SVHC, POPs, ODS, TSCA-PBT, TSCA-PFAS, and others,  
along with our sourcing of conflict minerals is a testament to our  
commitment to the environment and ethical responsibility..  
As a global company, our business activities include travel, which  
impacts the environment. We aim to minimize our travel activi-  
ties by using virtual meetings whenever possible.  
ESRS STANDARD: ESRS E2 POLLUTION  
Napatech is committed to conducting business operations in an  
environmentally responsible manner. We must take responsibil-  
ity, mitigate potential risks, and install countermeasures. We  
provide green solutions in the form of energy-efficient products  
that save on data center power consumption, and we strive for  
products to be recycled or disposed of safely.  
As a manufacturing company, there is a risk that producing and  
delivering products to our customers will impact the environ-  
ment. We work actively to limit adverse impacts that we cause  
or contribute to or that we are directly linked to through our  
business relationships. Napatech also supports and promotes  
environmental concerns with suppliers to help them conduct  
manufacturing activities in an environmentally safe and respon-  
sible manner.  
Napatech has a Conflict Mineral policy with the objective of only  
using tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold (3TG) that originate from  
conflict-free sources. We require all of our suppliers to provide  
reports on the use and sourcing of conflict minerals in products  
they supply to Napatech. The information acquired from the re-  
ports is screened against the Responsible Minerals Initiative's  
Our products are assembled by a contract manufacturer who  
shares our ambitions for social responsibility. We investigate  
each component regularly, as declared in our conformance dec-

larations. By adhering to regulatory rules and guidelines, Na-  
patech ensures that its products are free from specific hazardous  
substances that can cause significant harm to the environment  
and human health. When improperly disposed of, these sub-  
stances can pollute our land, air, and water, posing serious envi-  
ronmental challenges. Furthermore, Napatech’s conformance  
with environmental regulations is a testament to our commit-  
ment to environmental responsibility. For example, the REACH  
regulation is designed to protect human health and the environ-  
ment from potential risks posed by chemicals. By complying with  
REACH, we ensure that the substances we use during manufac-  
turing and in our products for the market are safe for both hu-  
mans and the environment.  
structured Employee Development Interviews and increased the  
number of one-on-one employee satisfaction interviews. Em-  
ployee satisfaction surveys are carried out every third year as  
part of the mandatory health and safety risk assessment.  
Our latest employee satisfaction survey from 2022 placed us well  
above the benchmark level overall. We detected that some of-  
fices were exposed to heat during the summer, so we have fitted  
sun protection to meet the challenges with heat. Furthermore,  
in 2024, we continued to pay attention to the ergonomic area  
and offered all employees counseling to prevent injuries due to  
sedentary computer work.  
In 2024, Napatech continued our focus on the physical working  
environment, including stress and harassment, and launched a  
harassment policy to ensure a healthy and safe working environ-  
ment where employees can thrive and feel secure. This is for pre-  
ventative reasons and to contribute to a good tone of communi-  
cation. In addition, we implemented initiatives to reduce the  
noise from our server labs.  
Furthermore, we work closely with our contract manufacturer in  
the US to improve their environmental performance through  
more efficient resource use and waste reduction. On our re-  
quest, our contract manufacturer is ISO 14001 certified. In four  
meetings during 2024, we continued discussing the initiatives  
under their environmental management system with our con-  
tract manufacturer to evaluate the effectiveness of the pro-  
cesses.  
Napatech's 94 full-time employees, as of December 31st, 2024,  
including eight women (9%), compared to eight (10%) in 2023. In  
general, Napatech wants to increase the presence of women  
throughout the organization. Our efforts are focused on improv-  
ing work-life balance as one way to attract more female appli-  
cants. It is, however, always the candidate who is deemed best  
suited for a position that will be offered the position. It has been  
difficult to raise the presence of women in the organization as  
women are significantly underrepresented in the workforce the  
group is recruiting within.  
All our products are investigated and analyzed to comply with  
rules for substances and minerals. The following declarations ap-  
ply to all Napatech products:  
RoHS Declaration of Compliance  
REACH Declaration of Compliance  
EU Declaration of Conformity  
We ensure that our products meet electromagnetic compatibil-  
ity requirements. Accredited third parties verify all our products

ards. The declaration and report below cover all Napatech prod-  
ucts:  
The supreme governing board in Napatech consists of the Board  
of Directors, which, on December 31, 2024, included four men  
and one woman (20%). In 2024, one new male board members  
were elected, and two male members left the board, thereby in-  
creasing the representation of women.

Napatech is committed to ensuring fair labor practices and pro-  
tecting human rights throughout our supply chain. Our strategy  
focuses on promoting ethical labor practices and enhancing  
health and safety for workers in our value chain. We have imple-  
mented a supplier code of conduct that outlines our expecta-  
tions for fair labor practices and human rights protections. Our  
human rights due diligence process includes regular supplier au-  
dits and assessments to ensure compliance. We assess risks re-  
lated to workers in our value chain when our sourcing depart-  
ment engages with our supplier in our regular supplier meetings.  
Additionally, we support initiatives to improve working condi-  
tions and provide training for workers in our supply chain. In  
2024, our sourcing department discussed the approach to hu-  
man rights with both Asian, European, and American suppliers  
on five different occasions.  
Napatech has a regulatory compliance manager whose full-time  
job is to ensure that Napatech and our suppliers comply with the  
various legal requirements and certain ethical standards.  
ESRS STANDARD: ESRS S1 OWN WORKFORCE  
Napatech is committed to fostering a supportive and inclusive  
workplace. Napatech has a diversification strategy and employs  
more than 10 different nationalities. Salaries, positions, and du-  
ties are determined based on qualifications and experience. Our  
strategy promotes employee well-being, enhances diversity and  
inclusion, provides ongoing training and development, and en-  
sures fair labor practices.  
Napatech adheres to national regulations on health, working en-  
vironment, and safety. In Denmark, this includes regular inspec-  
tions from the Danish Working Environment Authority, and Na-  
patech has been awarded a 'green smiley' indicating that the  
company's work environment is satisfactory. In the US, Napatech  
provides a safe working environment following general guide-  
lines from the Federal Occupational Safety and Health Admin-  
istration (OSHA) and carries Worker's Compensation Insurance.  
At Napatech, the Board regularly reviews overall results and  
plans for health, environment, and safety. In 2024, Napatech  
continued its focus on developing and retaining employees via

Napatech will conduct its business openly, honestly, and ethi-  
cally. We commit to being open and transparent about our busi-  
ness activities and will not participate in or support any form of  
bribery, corruption, or fraudulent practices. Our code of conduct  
outlines our anti-corruption policies, including zero tolerance for  
bribery and corruption.  
Our products' safety is ensured by accredited third parties. The  
following declarations, certificates, and reports apply to all Na-  
patech products:

UL Safety Certificates  
IEC CB Safety Test Reports  
UL Safety Test Reports  
In 2024, an anti-corruption awareness campaign for our sales or-  
ganization, our sourcing organization, and our executive man-  
agement team was conducted, and a whistleblower hotline was  
implemented to report unethical behavior. Our sales and opera-  
tions teams are regularly reminded of our position on anti-cor-  
ruption, including recognizing and reporting any suspected cor-  
rupt practices and emphasizing our zero-tolerance policy to the  
teams. In addition, a double-check reviewed process of all ex-  
pense claims from the sales team is in place.  
Our products comply with EU directives and carry the CE mark,  
as declared in our EU declaration of conformity. The CE mark is  
a certification mark that indicates a product’s compliance with  
essential health and safety requirements set forth by EU direc-  
tives. They also hold the UL mark for recognized components.  
The UL Mark is a certification mark issued by UL Solutions. It sig-  
nifies that a product has been certified to meet scientific safety,  
quality, or security standards. They are manufactured under UL's  
inspection and follow-up service, ensuring that safety-critical  
components are authenticated and handled according to UL's  
procedures. We regularly assess risks related to consumers and  
end-users, focusing on product liability and changing consumer  
preferences. We also identify opportunities to innovate and of-  
fer superior products and services that meet consumer needs.  
No incidents of non-compliance or ethical breaches have oc-  
curred in the company's history until now. Our code of conduct  
is regularly reviewed to reflect best practices and regulatory re-  
quirements.

NOTE 2  
MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION  
General  
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, as adopted by the EU and additional  
requirements in the Danish Financial Statement Act.  
The consolidated financial statements are prepared on a historical cost basis.  
The consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of Danish kroner (DKK'000).  
Changes in accounting policies  
The accounting policies are consistent with those applied to the consolidated financial statements for 2023.  
New and amended standards and interpretations that have become operative  
All new or amended standards (IFRS) and interpretations (IFRIC) as adopted by the EU and which are effective for the financial year  
beginning on 1 January 2024 have been adopted. The implementation of these new or amended standards and interpretations had no  
material impact on the financial statements. For standards implemented prospectively, the comparative figures are not restated.  
New financial reporting standards not yet adopted  
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not yet in effect or endorsed by the EU and,  
therefore, not relevant for the preparation of 2024 consolidated financial statements. The Group expects to implement these standards  
as they take effect. These standards are not expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods  
and on foreseeable future transactions.  
iXBRL reporting  
Napatech A/S has filed the Annual Report for 2024 in the European Single Electronic Format (ESEF), XHTML format, that can be displayed  
in a standard browser. The primary statements and notes in the consolidated financial statements are tagged using eXtensible Business  
Reporting Language (iXBRL), which complies with the ESEF taxonomy included in the ESEF Regulation.  
The consolidated financial statements  
The consolidated financial statements comprise the parent company, Napatech A/S, and its subsidiary. The subsidiary is fully consolidated  
from the date of acquisition and/or incorporation, being the date on which the parent company obtains control until the date when such  
control ceases. The financial statements of the subsidiary are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company's financial  
statements, using consistent accounting policies. The consolidated financial statements are prepared as a consolidation of the parent  
company's and the subsidiary’s financial statements, eliminating all intragroup balances, transactions, unrealized gains and losses, and  
dividends.

Consolidated Financial Statements  
NOTE 2  
MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (CONTINUED)  
Currency translation  
For each group entity, a functional currency is determined, and items recognized in the financial statements of the individual entities are  
measured using that functional currency. The functional currency is the currency used as the primary currency for the activities of the  
reporting entity. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are considered transactions denominated  
in foreign currencies.  
On initial recognition, transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates  
at the transaction date. Foreign exchange differences arising between the exchange rates at the transaction date and the date of payment  
are recognized in the income statement as financial income or financial expenses.  
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates at the  
reporting date. Any exchange difference arising from the translation is recognized in the income statement as financial income or financial  
expenses. Non-monetary assets and liabilities measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange  
rates at the date of the initial transaction.  
Translation of group entities  
On recognition in the consolidated financial statements of foreign entities with a functional currency different from the parent company's  
presentation currency (DKK), the income statement and the statement of cash flows are translated at the exchange rates at the  
transaction date, while the statement of financial position items is translated at the exchange rates at the reporting date. Any foreign  
exchange differences arising from the translation are recognized as other comprehensive income in a separate reserve. On full or partial  
disposal of a foreign entity, the share of the currency reserve relating to that particular foreign entity is recognized in the income  
statement.  
Revenue  
The Group manufactures and sells network adapters, including software, to end-users and through third-party channel partners. The  
Group's sales contracts regarding network adapters do not include installation services or significant customization etc., and each sales  
transaction only relates to a single performance obligation. Extended warranties and technical product support regarding the network  
adapters are sold separately. The Group also provides specific engineering services according to separate contracts with customers.  
Sales of goods  
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized in the income statement at the point in time when control of the goods is  
transferred to the customer, usually on delivery of the goods, and at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group  
expects to be entitled in exchange for these goods. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received, excluding rebates  
and VAT.  
Sales of services  
If a payment is received or due (whichever is earlier) from a customer before the Group transfers the related goods or services, the  
revenue is deferred and recognized as a contract liability until the Group performs under the contract. Contract liabilities associated with  
engineering services are recognized as revenue in the income statement based on the stage of completion (over time), which is  
determined on the basis of the relationship between the Group’s resources in relation to the recent total estimate of resource  
consumption. The degree of completion is assessed regularly, and the projects are closely monitored by management, and further  
adjustments are made to the stage of completion if deemed necessary. When performing this evaluation, all factors concerning the  
relevant contract are taken into consideration and assessed appropriately. Contract liabilities associated with extended warranties and  
technical product support are recognized as revenue in the income statement divided equally over the period stated in the contract, and  
the costs associated with providing the extended warranties and technical product support are recognized as they are incurred.  
The Group applies the practical expedient to recognize incremental costs of obtaining a contract as they are incurred.  
Cost of goods sold  
Cost of goods sold is incurred to generate the period's revenue. Cost of goods sold comprises costs relating to purchases of products that  
are to be resold. Cost of goods sold also includes movements in inventory write-down for the year.  
Staff costs  
Staff costs include salaries, bonuses, pensions and social costs, share-based payments, vacation pay, and other benefits. Staff costs are  
recognized in the year in which the associated services are rendered by the employees.  
Share-based payments  
The Group's employees and management receive consideration in the form of share-based payments. The share-based consideration is  
an equity-settled program under which employees and management deliver services in return for share options. The share options are  
measured at fair value at the time of granting. The fair value of share options is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.  
 
Consolidated Financial Statements  
Annual Report 2024
29  
NOTE 2  
MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (CONTINUED)  
Costs relating to equity-settled share-based payments are recognized in the income statement under staff costs and in equity over the  
vesting period. The total expense recognized for equity-settled share-based payments at the reporting date reflects the share of the  
vesting period that has lapsed and management's best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest.  
Other external costs  
Other external costs comprise costs of research and development not qualifying for recognition as intangible assets, and costs of  
development associated with engineering service contracts. Other external costs also comprise costs of sales, including costs of sales  
campaigns, advertising, exhibitions, etc., and administration costs, including office-related expenses. Write-downs on trade receivables  
are also included.  
Finance income and cost  
Finance income and costs comprise interest income and expenses, unrealized exchange gains and losses on financial assets and liabilities  
in foreign currencies, and realized exchange gains and losses on foreign currency transactions.  
For financial instruments measured at amortized cost, interest income, and expenses are recognized using the effective interest rate  
method.  
Income tax for the year  
Tax for the year, which comprises the current tax charge for the year and changes in the deferred tax charge, including changes arising  
from changes in the tax rate, is recognized in the income statement as regards the portion that relates to the profit or loss for the year  
and in other comprehensive income as regards the portion that relates to entries in other comprehensive income. The tax rates and tax  
laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the  
Group operates and generates taxable income.  
Intangible assets  
Intangible assets are initially recognized in the statement of financial position at cost. Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets  
are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses.  
Intangible assets comprise development projects and patents with finite useful lives.  
Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their economic lives and tested for impairment whenever there is an  
indication that an asset might be impaired. Useful lives are reassessed on an annual basis. Changes in expected useful lives are accounted  
for as changes in accounting estimates. Amortization and impairment losses are recognized in the income statement.  
Development projects  
Research costs are recognized in the income statement as incurred. Development costs incurred for individual projects are recognized  
as an intangible asset when the Group can demonstrate the following:  
The technical feasibility of completing the development project so that it will be available for use or sale;  
The intention to complete the development project and the Group's ability to use or sell it;  
The probability that the development project will generate future economic benefits;  
The availability of adequate technical, financial, and other resources to complete the development project and to use or sell it;  
The ability to measure the costs reliably.  
Subsequent to the initial recognition of the development costs as an intangible asset, the development project is recognized at cost less  
any accumulated amortization and impairment losses. Amortization of the intangible asset begins when the development of the asset  
has been completed, and the asset is used as planned. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the expected useful lives of  
the assets. The expected useful life of development projects is 3 years.  
Patents  
Patents are recognized as intangible assets at the time of acquisition and measured at cost less accumulated amortization. Patents are  
amortized over their useful lives, starting at the time when the patent takes effect. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over  
the expected useful lives of the assets. The useful life of patents is estimated at 10 years.  
Tangible assets  
Tangible assets include plant and equipment and leasehold improvements. Items of tangible assets are measured at cost less  
accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, the cost being the acquisition price and costs directly related to the acquisition until  
such time when the asset is ready for use.  
 
30 Annual
Report 2024  
Consolidated Financial Statements  
NOTE 2  
MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (CONTINUED)  
Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the expected useful lives of the assets, as follows:  
Plant and equipment  
3 years  
Leasehold improvements  
5 years  
Gains and losses on the disposal of tangible assets are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount  
of the asset and are recognized in the income statement.  
Residual values and useful lives are reassessed on an annual basis. Changes in useful lives or residual values are accounted for as changes  
in accounting estimates.  
Leases  
The Group assesses at contract inception whether a contract is or contains a lease. That is if the contract conveys the right to control  
the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Group recognizes lease liabilities to make lease  
payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.  
The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12  
months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option or extension option). The Group also applies the  
lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases of office equipment that are considered to be low value. Lease payments on  
short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.  
A right-of-use asset and a lease liability are recognized in the balance sheet when the specifically identifiable asset is made available  
under the lease agreement during the lease term and when the Group gains the right to virtually all the economic benefits from the use  
of the identified asset and the right to control the use of the identified asset.  
The Group applies the practical expedient to recognize payments related to service components in leasing contracts for plant and  
equipment as part of the right-of-use asset and a lease liability.  
Lease liabilities  
Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of future lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments  
include fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts  
expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably  
certain to be exercised by the Group and payments of penalties for terminating the lease unless the Group is very unlikely to exercise  
the option to terminate.  
In assessing the expected lease term for property leases, the Group estimates for strategic reasons that the expected rental period is  
between 3-5 years.  
In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses its alternative borrowing rate at the lease commencement date  
because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. The alternative borrowing rate is the cost of raising external  
financing for a corresponding asset with a financing period corresponding to the term of the lease in the currency in which the lease  
payments are settled.  
After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease  
payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term,  
or a change in the lease payments (e.g., changes to future payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such  
lease payments) or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.  
Right-of-use assets  
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any  
remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognized, initial direct costs  
incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets  
are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:  
Properties  
3-5 years  
Plant and equipment  
3-6 years

NOTE 2  
MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (CONTINUED)  
Impairment of non-financial assets  
In-progress development projects are tested for impairment at least once a year. Other long-term assets with finite useful lives are  
reviewed for impairment at each reporting date. Where indications of impairment are identified for in-progress development projects  
or other long-term assets with finite useful lives, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. The recoverable amount is  
determined for the individual asset or a group of assets constituting an integrated cash-generating unit. The recoverable amount is the  
higher of the asset or the cash-generating unit's fair value, less costs to sell and its value in use. When the carrying amount of an asset or  
a cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired, and the carrying amount is reduced to the  
recoverable amount. The impairment loss is recognized in the income statement.  
The value in use is calculated as the present value of expected future cash flows from the asset or the cash-generating unit of which the  
asset is a part.  
Inventories  
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost is determined using the first-in/first-out (FIFO) method.  
The cost of goods for resale, raw materials, and consumables comprises the purchase price plus delivery costs. The Group uses sub-  
suppliers for the primary production of goods for resale.  
The net realizable value of inventories is determined as the selling price less costs of completion and costs incurred to generate the  
revenue, taking into account marketability, obsolescence, and developments in the expected selling price.  
Receivables  
Receivables are measured at amortized cost less write-downs. Write-downs on trade receivables are based on the simplified expected  
credit loss model. Credit loss allowances on individual trade receivables and other receivables are provided for when objective indications  
of credit losses occur such as debtor’s bankruptcy and uncertainty about the debtor’s ability and/or willingness to pay, etc.  
Write-downs on receivables are recognized in the income statement under other external costs.  
Cash and cash equivalents  
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at banks.  
Equity  
Share premium  
Share premium is the value in excess of the nominal value of the shares that are contributed to the company upon formation or a capital  
increase. The share premium is part of the distributable reserves.  
Share-based payment reserve  
The value of share options granted is recognized in equity under share-based payment reserve over the vesting period as the employees  
deliver the relevant services. The reserve reflects the total value of share options granted based on the share of the vesting period that  
has lapsed and the Group's best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The reserve is part of the  
distributable reserves.  
Treasury shares  
Own equity instruments that are reacquired (treasury shares) are recognized at cost and deducted from equity. No gain or loss is  
recognized in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Group’s own equity instruments. Any difference between  
the carrying amount and the consideration, if reissued, is recognized in the share premium.  
Foreign currency translation reserve  
The foreign currency translation reserve comprises exchange differences arising upon translation of the financial statements of foreign  
operations from their functional currency to the parent company's presentation currency (DKK).  
Upon full or partial realization of the investment in the foreign operation, foreign exchange adjustments are recognized in the income  
statement in the same item as the gain/loss from the sale. The reserve is part of the distributable reserves.  
Financial liabilities  
Amounts owed to banks etc., are recognized at the date of borrowing at the amount of proceeds received net of transaction costs paid.  
In subsequent periods, the financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Accordingly, the  
difference between the proceeds and the nominal value is recognized in financial expenses over the term of the loan.  
Non-financial liabilities are measured at net realizable value.  
 
32 Annual
Report 2024  
Consolidated Financial Statements  
NOTE 2  
MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (CONTINUED)  
Contract liabilities  
A contract liability is recognized if a payment is received or a payment is due (whichever is earlier) from a customer before the Group  
transfers the related goods or services. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue when the Group performs under the contract.  
Income tax and deferred tax  
Current tax liabilities and current tax receivable are recognized in the statement of financial position as the estimated tax charge for the  
period, adjusted for tax on previous years' taxable income, and tax paid on account. Income tax return receivables are evaluated with  
respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation, and provisions are established where appropriate.  
Deferred tax is measured, using the "balance sheet liability" method, of all temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax  
base and the carrying amount of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected  
to apply in the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or  
substantially enacted at the balance sheet date.  
Deferred tax is recognized for all taxable, temporary differences, except for taxable, temporary differences associated with investments  
in subsidiaries where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled, and it is probable that the temporary  
differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.  
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible, temporary differences, and all unutilized tax loss carry forward to the extent that it  
is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible, temporary differences, and unutilized tax loss carry forward  
can be used.  
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable  
that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized.  
Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that  
future taxable profits will be available against which the deferred tax asset can be utilized.  
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relating to items recognized outside profit or loss are offset if a legally enforceable right  
exists to set off current tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the  
same taxation authority.  
Statement of cash flows  
The statement of cash flows shows the Group's cash flows for the year, broken down into operating, investing, and financing activities,  
the period's changes in cash and cash equivalents, and the Group's cash and cash equivalents at the beginning and the end of the period.  
Cash flows from operating activities are presented using the indirect method and are stated as the profit or loss for the year before tax,  
adjusted for non-cash operating items, changes in working capital, paid and/or received interests, and paid and/or received income taxes.  
Cash flows from investing activities comprise payments related to purchases and/or proceeds of/from non-current assets.  
Cash flows from financing activities comprise dividends distributed to shareholders, capital increases and/ or reductions, repayments  
and/or proceeds of/from interest-bearing debt, and payments regarding lease agreements, including interests and instalments.  
Segment information  
The segment information is provided on geographical markets and business segments.  
The segmentation is based on the Group's internal financial reporting and has been prepared in accordance with the Group's accounting  
policies. The Group monitors the performance of the segments to the level of gross profit. All other items of the income statement, as  
well as assets and liabilities, are managed on a group basis and, therefore, not allocated to individual segments.  
Income/expenses in the segments comprise the items directly attributable to the individual segments as well as the items that may be

NOTE 3  
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES, AND ASSUMPTIONS  
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires the management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that  
affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets, and liabilities. Significant accounting judgments, estimates, and assumptions  
are presented below.  
Accounting estimates and uncertainty of estimates  
The valuation of certain assets and liabilities requires the management to make estimates and assumptions related to future events. The  
estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that, according to the management's assessment, are  
reasonable but also inherently subject to uncertainty and unpredictability. The assumptions may be incomplete and inaccurate, and  
unexpected events and/or circumstances may arise.  
Furthermore, the Group is subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause the actual results to differ from these estimates, both  
positively and negatively. The Group's specific risks are discussed in the relevant sections of the management's review and in the notes  
to the consolidated financial statements.  
The major assumptions concerning future events and other sources of estimation of uncertainties at the reporting date, which involve a  
significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are  
presented below.  
Development projects  
There is an ongoing assessment of whether the development costs meet the criteria for capitalization as set out in the summary of  
accounting policies, note 2, and whether the development projects will generate future economic benefits.  
Development projects in progress are annually tested for impairment. Completed development projects are reviewed for impairment  
indicators. If there is evidence of impairment, an impairment test is carried out for the project concerned. The impairment test is prepared  
on the basis of factors such as the future use of the project and the present value of expected future income, interest, and risk. The  
carrying amount of completed development projects was DKK 19.8 million on December 31, 2024 (December 31, 2023: DKK 36.6 million).  
The accounting judgments, estimates, and assumptions that the management makes for development projects are consistent with  
previous years.

Revenue from Engineering services is considered a separate segment from SmartNIC products due to the difference in economic  
characteristics and the timing of recognition of revenue. The revenue from engineering service contracts is recognized in the income  
statement based on the stage of completion (over time) according to IFRS 15, while the main part of the revenue from SmartNIC products  
is recognized in the income statement at a point in time.  
The Group monitors the performance of the segments to the level of gross profit. All other items of the income statement, as well as  
assets and liabilities, are managed on a group basis and, therefore, not allocated to individual segments.

NOTE 7  
SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS  
Employees and members of the management in both the parent company and the US-based subsidiary are eligible for share option  
schemes. They are granted a certain number of share options in the parent company in return for the services they provide to the Group.  
Share options under these schemes are granted at fixed exercise prices. The right to share options can only be vested as long as the  
holder is an employee of the Group. Members of the Board of Directors are eligible for share option schemes under corresponding terms  
as long as the holder is a member of the Board of Directors of the Group.  
The share-based payment expense is measured at fair value on the grant date using the Black-Scholes model. The expense is recognized  
in the income statement with the counter item in the share-based payment reserve under equity, and it is recognized over (a) the period  
during which the share option holder has met the vesting conditions or (b) the period in which an exercising event is likely to occur if this  
period is shorter.

NOTE 14  
INTANGIBLE ASSETS (CONTINUED)  
The Group recognized DKK 133 thousand as an impairment in 2024 (2023: DKK 0 thousand) in respect of the Group's development  
projects and patents. The impairment in 2024 relates to patents no longer being used.  
At year-end 2024, the Group performed its annual impairment test, based on the value in use, for both Completed and In Progress  
Development Projects. The Group considers the relationship between its market capitalization and its accounting value, among other  
factors, when assessing for indicators of impairment.  
In relation to the annual impairment test, the following key assumptions were applied:  
The recoverable amount has been determined based on a value-in-use calculation using cash flow projections from financial  
budgets for 2025 and cash flow projections for a three-year period. The three-year cash flow projections are based on a three-  
year strategic plan and investment budget, which are approved by the board of directors. The CAGR from 2025 to 2027,  
assumed in the impairment test, is 57%. Due to uncertainty in projections, the impairment test is based on a finite life span of  
three years, equalling the estimated useful life and not including any terminal period. A sensitivity analysis has been performed  
on the impartment test, showing a DKK 1.0 million impairment needed if the CAGR for the period is lowered by 12 %-points.  
Discount rates representing the current market assessment of the risks specific to the development project were applied to  
cash flow projections, but since the impairment test is based on a finite life span of three years and without any terminal period,  
the applied discount rate only had a marginal impact on the impairment test. A discount rate after tax of 22% is used in the  
impairment test.  
The Board of Directors has approved the inputs to the impairment test and is satisfied that the judgments made are appropriate.  
The results of the impairment test for both Completed and In Progress Development Projects showed that the recoverable amount  
exceeded the carrying value and that there was no impairment loss to be recognized.

The Group has tax losses of DKK 272,886 thousand (2023: DKK 191,447 thousand) that are available indefinitely for offsetting against  
future taxable profit. In 2024 the deferred tax assets were not fully recognized in respect of these losses due to uncertainty in timing to  
offset future taxable profit. Determining the amount that can be recognized for deferred tax assets is based on estimates of the probable  
timing and size of future taxable profit. When assessing future profits, historical profits have been taken into account. If the Group were  
able to recognize all unrecognized deferred tax assets, the value would be DKK 58,628 thousand (2023: DKK 35,982 thousand).

2023. The reversal of inventory write-down relates mainly to products sold in 2024.

NOTE 27  
FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES  
The Group's principal financial liabilities comprise interest-bearing loans and borrowings, trade, and other payables. The main purpose  
of these financial liabilities is to finance the Group's operations. The Group has trade and other receivables, cash, and long-term leasehold  
deposits that derive directly from its operations.  
The Group is exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk, and foreign currency risk. The Group's senior management provides  
assurance that financial risks are identified, measured, and managed in accordance with the Group's policies and risk objectives. It is the  
Group's policy not to undertake any trading in derivatives for speculative purposes. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees on policies  
for managing each of these risks, which are summarized below.  
Credit risk  
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations under a customer contract, leading to financial loss. The Group is  
exposed to credit risk from its operating activities, receivables, and deposits with banks.  
Trade receivables  
Customer credit risk is managed at the group level. The credit quality of a customer is assessed based on a review of available financial  
information. The Group's customers have 30 - 90 days as a standard payment term, and historically, the Group has not had material  
impairment for bad debts.  
On December 31, 2024, the Group had 3 customers (December 31, 2023: 1 customer) that owed the Group more than 10% of all trade  
receivables. The amount receivable from these 3 customers on 31 December 2023 was DKK 5,610 thousand, DKK 3,710 thousand, and  
DKK 2,587 thousand, respectively. For the first customer, DKK 4,619 thousand of the receivable is past due, with the due date exceeded  
by more than 90 days, and a provision for impairment loss for this part is made with DKK 2,778 thousand calculated based on the expected  
loss percentage as described below. The overdue part is due to special circumstances, and the loss provision is assessed to be sufficient.  
The credit risk associated with the other 2 customers has been assessed as low, and the part due was fully paid in February 2025.  
The assessment of the need for impairment of financial assets measured at amortized cost, including trade receivables, is made according  
to the simplified expected credit loss model. The model implies that the expected loss over the lifespan of the asset is recognized  
immediately in the income statement and is continuously monitored in accordance with the Group's risk management until realization.  
Impairment is calculated based on expected loss percentages, which are calculated individually per geographical location. Loss  
percentages are calculated based on historical data based on expected losses over the total maturity of the receivable, adjusted for  
estimates of the effect of expected changes in relevant parameters, such as economic development, political risks, etc., in the given  
market.

NOTE 27  
FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTINUED)  
The maximum exposure to credit risk for trade receivables at the reporting date is the carrying value disclosed in note 19. The Group  
does not hold collateral as security. The Group evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low, as its  
customers are located in several jurisdictions and operate independently. The customer credit risk related to geographical segments in  
which the Group operates is similar and does not differ significantly.  
Other receivables  
Other receivables on December 31, 2024, primarily consist of inventory support payments to the manufacturing company used by the  
Group and will be repaid as the inventory need regarding the Group declines. The Group considers the credit risk regarding this receivable  
to be low based on many years of experience in close collaboration with the manufacturing company.  
Cash deposits  
Credit risk from balances with banks is managed by the senior management in accordance with the Group's policy. Investments of surplus  
funds are mainly made to finance development projects. Development projects are reviewed by the senior management on a quarterly  
basis.  
The Group's maximum exposure to credit risk for the components of the statement of financial position on December 31, 2024, and 2023  
is the carrying amounts as illustrated in note 22.  
Liquidity risk  
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group is unable to repay its financial liabilities as they fall due.  
The Group monitors cash flows on a monthly basis and a maximum of one year in advance. The aim is to ensure sufficient cash from the  
operating activities to fund project development and daily operations.  
December 31, 2024, the Group had unused credit facilities of DKK 2.8 million (unused credit facilities December 31, 2023: DKK 2.2 million).  
In March 2022, the Group established an overdraft facility of DKK 30 million in Denmark in addition to the facility in the US of USD 1  
million. The overdraft facility in Denmark is up for renewal yearly, next time in August 2025, and it is the assessment of management  
that the overdraft facilities will be renewed, as management has no indications of otherwise. The facility in the US is up for renewal in  
June 2025. In addition to the overdraft facility, the Group has established a loan of DKK 10 million to be repaid in 5 years from January 1,  
2024, with a fixed yield at DKK 673 thousand per quarter and variable interest, balance on December 31, 2024, was DKK 8,586 thousand.  
Based on the budget for 2025, the cash available, together with the unused credit facilities, are assessed to be sufficient to cover the  
Group's obligations and planned investments as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from December 31, 2024. However, in  
the event of the budget for 2025 not being realized as planned, management has identified sufficient cost savings to ensure sufficient  
cash throughout 2025.  
The Group's manufacturing policy is based on order production to ensure minimal amounts of cash are being tied up in inventories.  
Furthermore, the suppliers' terms of payment are between 30 and 60 days, and the Group's customers' standard terms of payment are  
between 30 and 90 days.  
In line with previous reporting periods, the Group's policy for liquidity management is to ensure timely payments from customers and to  
balance suppliers' credit terms with the terms of payment offered to the customers.  
The Group's cash inflows arising from the financial assets and outflows arising from the financial liabilities recognized in the consolidated  
statement of financial position are due as follows:

Interest rate risk  
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market  
interest rates. The Group's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates mainly to the Group's interest-bearing loans  
with the amount of DKK 42,904 thousand (2023 DKK 44,105 thousand). The interest rates on the Group´s loans and credit facilities are  
variable and in the range of 5.92% - 10.40% at the end of December 2024. The Group's policy is to keep sufficient cash in place to mitigate  
adverse impacts caused by fluctuation in market interest rates. The interest rates used to determine lease obligations are fixed. The  
Group's interest rate risk is immaterial.  
Foreign currency risk  
The parent company's functional currency is DKK. The Group's revenues and cost of goods sold are mainly denominated in USD. However,  
the majority of all other transactions are denominated in DKK and USD. The Group's main currency risk is thus associated with fluctuations  
in USD against DKK. The Group has negligible transactions in other currencies.

Capital management  
Capital includes shares attributable to the equity holders of the parent company.  
The primary objective of the Group's capital management, in the short term, is to ensure the sufficient capital needed to fund the  
development of new products and new markets and thereby create a healthy business platform to ensure returns to the shareholders in  
the long term.  
To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders,  
or issue new shares. The Group has not distributed any dividends, and it is not expecting to do so in the near future.  
To ensure sufficient capital to fund project development and daily operations, the Group made a capital raise in May 2024 of DKK 143  
million in gross proceeds from a private placement of 9,000,000 shares.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT  
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS  
OF NAPATECH A/S  
Report on the audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements and Parent Company Financial Statements  
Opinion  
We have audited the consolidated financial statements and the parent company financial statements of Napatech  
A/S for the financial year 1 January – 31 December 2024, which comprise income statement, statement of  
comprehensive income, balance sheet, statement of changes in equity, cash flow statement and notes, including  
material accounting policy information, for the Group and the Parent Company. The consolidated financial statements  
and the parent company financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted  
by the EU and additional requirements of the Danish Financial Statements Act.  
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements and the parent company financial statements give a true and  
fair view of the financial position of the Group and the Parent Company at 31 December 2024 and of the results of  
the Group's and the Parent Company's operations and cash flows for the financial year 1 January – 31 December 2024  
in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU and additional requirements of the Danish  
Financial Statements Act.  
Our opinion is consistent with our long-form audit report to the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors.  
Basis for opinion  
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) and additional requirements  
applicable in Denmark. Our responsibilities under those standards and requirements are further described in the  
"Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements and the parent company financial  
statements" (hereinafter collectively referred to as "the financial statements") section of our report. We believe that  
the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.  
Independence  
We are independent of the Group in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants'  
International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) and the additional ethical requirements  
applicable in Denmark, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements  
and the IESBA Code.  
To the best of our knowledge, we have not provided any prohibited non-audit services as described in article 5(1) of  
Regulation (EU) no. 537/2014.  
Appointment of auditor  
We were initially appointed as auditor of Napatech A/S on 29 April 2014 for the financial year 2014. We have been  
reappointed annually by resolution of the general meeting for a total consecutive period of 11 years up until the  
financial year 2024.  
Key audit matters  
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the  
financial statements for the financial year 2024. These matters were addressed during our audit of the financial  
statements as a whole and in forming our opinion thereon. We do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.  
For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.  
 
74 Annual
Report 2024  
Statements  
We have fulfilled our responsibilities described in the "Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial  
statements" section, including in relation to the key audit matters below. Accordingly, our audit included the design  
and performance of procedures 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 financial statements.  
Revenue recognition  
The Group’s revenue primarily consists of the sales of goods that are recognized at a point in time. Engineering  
services are recognized as revenue in the income statement based on the stage of completion (over time), which is  
determined on the basis of the relationship between the Group’s resources spend in relation to the total estimate of  
resource consumption. The degree of completion is assessed regularly and adjustments are made to the stage of  
completion if deemed necessary.  
Revenue recognition is a matter of most significance in our audit due to the inherent risk in the timing of revenue  
recognition before and after balance sheet date.  
Refer to note 1 and 4 in the consolidated financial statements and to note 2 in the financial statements for the parent  
company.  
How our audit addressed the above key audit matters:  
Assessment of managements IFRS-15 accounting memorandum regarding recognition of revenue over  
time.  
Test of Management’s assessment of the degree of completion of Engineering services, including test to  
underlying contracts, supporting documentation and evaluation of assumptions.  
Data analytical procedures on revenue including correlation analysis and activity analysis, where the flow  
of the transactions from revenue to cash are analysed. Gross revenue and gross profit are analysed during  
the year using data analytics tools.  
Test of sales transactions during the year and recognized sales transactions and after the balance sheet date  
to contracts and other supporting documentation to assess proper revenue recognition and cut-off.  
Assessment whether the applied revenue recognition criteria follow the Group’s accounting policies as  
disclosed in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements.  
Evaluation of the adequacy of the disclosures provided by management in the financial statements  
compared to applicable accounting standards  
Statement on the Managements review  
Management is responsible for the Management's review.  
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the Management's review, and we do not express any  
assurance conclusion thereon.  
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the Management's review and,  
in doing so, consider whether the Management's review is materially inconsistent with the financial statements, or  
our knowledge obtained during the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.  
Moreover, it is our responsibility to consider whether the Management's review provides the information required  
by relevant law and regulations.  
Based on our procedures, we conclude that the Management's review is in accordance with the financial statements  
and has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of relevant law and regulations. We did not identify any  
material misstatement of the Management's review.  
 
Statements  
Annual Report 2024

Managements responsibilities for the financial statements  
Management is responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements and parent company financial  
statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU and  
additional requirements of the Danish Financial Statements Act and for such internal control as Management  
determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement,  
whether due to fraud or error.  
In preparing the financial statements, Management is responsible for assessing the Group's and the Parent Company's  
ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going  
concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements unless Management either intends to liquidate the  
Group or the Parent Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.  
Auditors responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements  
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the financial statements as a whole are free from  
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion.  
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with  
ISAs and additional requirements applicable in Denmark will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.  
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they  
could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial  
statements.  
As part of an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs and additional requirements applicable in Denmark, we exercise  
professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:  
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or  
error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks and obtain audit evidence that is  
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material  
misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve  
collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or the override of internal control.  
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that  
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness  
of the Group's and the Parent Company's internal control.  
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates  
and related disclosures made by Management.  
Conclude on the appropriateness of Management's use of the going concern basis of accounting in  
preparing the financial statements and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material  
uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's and the  
Parent Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists,  
we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial  
statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the  
audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may  
cause the Group and the Parent Company to cease to continue as a going concern.  
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and contents of the financial statements, including the note  
disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a  
manner that gives a true and fair view.  
Plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial  
information of the entities or business units within the group as a basis for forming an opinion on the group  
financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and review of the audit work  
performed for purposes of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may  
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or  
safeguards applied.  
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of  
most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements and the parent company 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.  
Report on compliance with the ESEF Regulation  
As part of our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements and Parent Company Financial Statements of Napatech  
A/S, we performed procedures to express an opinion on whether the annual report of Napatech A/S for the financial  
year 1 January – 31 December 2024 with the file name Napatech-2024-12-31-en.zip is prepared, in all material  
respects, in compliance with the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/815 on the European Single Electronic  
Format (ESEF Regulation) which includes requirements related to the preparation of the annual report in XHTML  
format and iXBRL tagging of the Consolidated Financial Statements including notes.  
Management is responsible for preparing an annual report that complies with the ESEF Regulation. This responsibility  
includes:  
The preparing of the annual report in XHTML format;  
The selection and application of appropriate iXBRL tags, including extensions to the ESEF taxonomy and the  
anchoring thereof to elements in the taxonomy, for all financial information required to be tagged using  
judgement where necessary;  
Ensuring consistency between iXBRL tagged data and the Consolidated Financial Statements presented in  
human readable format; and  
For such internal control as Management determines necessary to enable the preparation of an annual  
report that is compliant with the ESEF Regulation.  
Our responsibility is to obtain reasonable assurance on whether the annual report is prepared, in all material respects,  
in compliance with the ESEF Regulation based on the evidence we have obtained, and to issue a report that includes  
our opinion. The nature, timing and extent of procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the  
assessment of the risks of material departures from the requirements set out in the ESEF Regulation, whether due to  
fraud or error. The procedures include:  
Testing whether the annual report is prepared in XHTML format;  
Obtaining an understanding of the company’s iXBRL tagging process and of internal control over the tagging  
process;  
Evaluating the completeness of the iXBRL tagging of the Consolidated Financial Statements including notes;  
Evaluating the appropriateness of the company’s use of iXBRL elements selected from the ESEF taxonomy  
and the creation of extension elements where no suitable element in the ESEF taxonomy has been  
identified;  
Evaluating the use of anchoring of extension elements to elements in the ESEF taxonomy; and  
Reconciling the iXBRL tagged data with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements.
