Developments in the Financial Year
Continued double-digit sales growth – leading the way to positive results
2024 has in many ways been a successful year for the Group. Revenue reached DKK 2.8 billion, up by 17 % from
2023 (DKK 2.4 billion), and net result turned positive at DKK 143 million (2023: DKK negative 108 million), yielding
positive equity at Group-level. The Group’s 12-month-running average unit volume (AUV) from own stores reached
DKK 8.8 million in 2024 (up 14 % from DKK 7.7 million in 2023), made possible by our juicers’ continual efforts
and dedication to serving customers freshly made products of high quality.
Sales uplift in company-operated heritage stores was the main source of growth yielding same-store-sales of 12 %
(2023: 35%). Growth was supported by opening of 10 (net) new company-operated stores and 23 new franchise-
operated stores (2023: combined 40). Activity ramp-up from franchise markets in the Middle East contributed further
to system-wide sales growth. Focus on increasing activity through digital sales channels, mainly third-party delivery
and conversion of customers to the JOE App, continued a positive trajectory in 2024 with digital sales reaching 33 %
of total revenue from company-operated stores (2023: 29 %).
Foundation for growth
In 2024, results continued to improve, with operating result before depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) reaching
DKK 560 million, up 13 % from 2023 (DKK 498 million), displaying continued robustness in store-level
performance. Improved operating results were mainly coming from activities in the Group’s UK, Mid-Europe and US
regions, with all three regions having ample whitespace for further development in coming years. Nordics, as the
Group’s most mature region, yielded results on par with 2023.
Returns from prior years’ investment initiatives into organization and capital position displayed positive returns in
2024. On this basis, Management decided to pursue further improvement initiatives in 2024 to ensure a robust
foundation for ramping up the Group’s growth plans in 2025 and beyond to reach 1,000 stores in 2028. Initiatives
included a thorough review of fixed assets in the Group’s stores, resulting in disposal from certain store closures or
replacement of fixed assets due to refurbishment (one-time cost of DKK 42 million) and other external cost of non-
recurring nature including a one-time consulting project carried out mid-2024 to raise predictability through business
insight (one-time cost of DKK 44 million).
As the Group expands, investments into continued capability uplift across support functions, increased predictability,
risk mitigation and organizational sustainability will continue in coming years, in keeping with Management’s
strategy of long-term profitable growth. Management is satisfied with the Group’s operational performance, which is
above expectations when adjusting for the one-time nature of investments carried out in 2024 that were not part of
the original plan for 2024.

Net income was positively impacted by recognition of deferred tax assets in the United States of DKK 75 million,
from re-assessment of the Group’s expected future earnings attributable to the US business. Adjusting for one-off
items, net income in 2024 would have been DKK 154 million (2023: DKK negative 40 million), showcasing positive
returns of increased operational performance and improved capital position.
Continuing to Leverage Potential of Digital Sales
JOE & THE JUICE has for more than a decade invested in IT systems to facilitate an efficient, data-driven and
customer-centric operation of its stores. Among these initiatives, the JOE App was introduced in 2019 to improve
customer convenience, reduce waiting time, digitize the customer journey, and ultimately increase sales. Additionally,
implementation of online Third-Party Delivery platforms has been a strategic enabler to increase scale by reaching
customers outside of stores and tap into a growing delivery market. The Group continues to pursue digital sales as a
strategic enabler for increasing customer loyalty, retention and frequency, and is planning in 2025 to introduce a new
Management's Review

customer loyalty program in connection with a new JOE App. Management expects the relative share of revenue
coming from digital sales in the future will increase significantly.
The in-store customer experience is supported by a brand platform across social media, such as Instagram and
Facebook. Benefits of this omni-channel strategy is seen in the strong brand awareness globally and reactions from
JOE & THE JUICE’s community through views, likes and comments.
Global Concept with Proven Adaptability and Scalability
While JOE & THE JUICE was founded in Copenhagen, the brand and business model have generated strong
performance across a wide variety of international markets and is today a global brand represented in 20 countries.
The products, ambience and brand have a broad appeal while being unique and difficult for competitors to replicate
at scale.
In addition to driving increased operating performance in existing stores, Management implemented an updated
growth strategy in 2024, with the aim of reaching a store footprint of 1,000 stores (company- and franchise-operated)
in 2028. The latter part of 2024 was focused on adapting the growth organization and partner landscape to ensure a
scalable framework for increasing the number of annual store openings. This work will continue into 2025, where the
number of new store openings is expected to increase significantly from previous years. The Group’s own store
opening strategy continues to be focused fully focused on core markets in Europe, the United Kingdom and United
States, supported by franchise activities in non-core geographies.
In addition to expanding JOE & THE JUICE’s footprint with profitable operations in key European and North
American metropolitan cities, the Group continued to expand in suburban markets outside existing metropolitan
locations. In 2024, the Group further expanded franchise operations in the Middle East with new franchise operations
starting in Lebanon and opening a total of 23 new franchise stores across franchise markets. The continued success
outside the Group’s core markets demonstrates first-hand the strong brand appeal across cultures and geographies.
Expectations for the year ahead
JOE & THE JUICE's near-term growth strategy is centred around profitable and sustainable expansion, obtained by
building scale within existing core markets, mainly the United States, the United Kingdom and Europe. This strategy
builds upon existing brand awareness and provides scale benefits to the Group’s operations. Complementary to
opening new stores, the Group intends to continue driving increased same-store-sales in heritage stores. Efforts build
on reinforcing guest loyalty by driving innovation across menu and offerings, enhancing convenience and guest
service through digital initiatives, and further cultivating brand awareness. In parallel, JOE & THE JUICE's unique
culture will continue to be nurtured and development of workforce for improved staff seniority and strengthening of
operational skillset.
For 2025, Management anticipates Revenue to display positive growth of 5-15% vs. 2024 and an Adjusted Operating
result in a range of DKK 200 - 250 million.
Cash flow
At the beginning of the year, the Group had cash of DKK 128 million and DKK 144 million at the end of the year.
Net cash inflow for the year of DKK 30 million comes from positive net cash inflow from operating activities of DKK
385 million and net cash outflows to financing activities of DKK 169 million and in investing activities of DKK 187
million. Foreign currency adjustments accounted for negative DKK 14 million in the year.
Risks
Uncertainties remain in the Group’s operating markets, mainly regarding geopolitical instabilities, including direct
and indirect effects of changes in tariffs. Potential impacts of such events are not expected to be material for the
Group, also considering limited cross-border trade within the Group. Shift in globalization may potentially influence
consumer behavior and purchasing power in the Group’s operating markets. Inflationary and interest rate risks are
perceived as being of lesser magnitude than last year. Management will continue to monitor the situation closely and
take necessary action as required. The Group operates in several markets and is therefore exposed to some currency
risk, mainly in USD, GBP, NOK and SEK.
Management's Review

Knowledge resources
JOE & THE JUICE continuously develops its employees and invests in building the culture of JOE & THE JUICE.
It is also important for the continued growth of the Group to attract and retain new, talented employees.
Financing and capital management
The Group is dependent on loan financing to maintain the current capital structure. Loan agreements until December
2027 are in place to secure the Group’s liquidity needs. Following the capital increase and refinancing completed in
December 2023 Management’s deems the Group’s capital resources adequate to cover future obligations as they arise.
The Group complies with financial covenants as set forth in loan agreements. The Group’s leverage ratio (net
debt/EBITDA) was 0.7x (2023: 1.0x) as of December 31, 2024.
For further information, reference is made to Note 19 to the financial statements.
Subsequent events
The Group has determined that there are no material events which occurred after the reporting date but before the
consolidated financial statements are authorized for issue.
Management's Review
Risk Management
JOE & THE JUICE recognizes the risks associated with the CSR/Environmental Social and Governance matters such
as human rights violation, environment and climate damage, breaches of business ethics, bribery and fraud, social and
employee relations, health and safety risks and has developed and adopted policies and procedures to address these.
The Group has a Risk, Reputation, Environmental Social and Governance Committee consisting of selected members
of the Group Board of Directors which meets at a minimum on a quarterly basis. The Committee will meet six times
in 2025.
Due to the nature of our business, JOE & THE JUICE is exposed to climate and environmental risks, that are
frequently associated with the food and beverage industry. This sector is increasingly experiencing the effects of
climate-related weather events, such as floods and droughts, and with its global presence, JOE & THE JUICE is
subject to risks such as potential supply chain disruptions, increased energy costs, market demands and changing
consumer preferences. In addition, existing and emerging environmental regulations and regulatory compliance
requirements could have an impact on the Group´s operations. To mitigate these risks, JOE & THE JUICE
continuously monitors current developments and engages with its distributors to ensure that sourcing contingencies
are in place to ensure supply chain resilience.
Employee-related risks, such as injury and working hours, are recognised and we operate multiple processes to
mitigate these risks. We operate a whistleblower service available for all staff and third parties.
A first cycle of the ERM (Enterprise Risk Management) programme was completed in 2024 and consisted of
identifying the highest risks in the business. These risks were ranked and prioritized and work undertaken in relation
to operational risks. JOE & THE JUICE has completed its Group ERM Governance structure and ERM Policy.
Interviews with function heads have been completed and interviews are being held for the second cycle of ERM.
Revised risk taxonomy, JOE & THE JUICE risk glossary, and scoring scales have been developed for use in 2025. In
2025, JOE & THE JUICE will commence its second cycle of ERM and complete a full review of all risks and
associated mitigations.
Anti-corruption and Bribery
JOE & THE JUICE operates a zero-tolerance approach to bribery and corruption. The employee Code of Conduct
and the CSR Policy for Business Partners contain sections on all related standards of conduct in relation to these areas.
We recognize the risk of bribery or corruption or other unethical conduct in violation of our standards by both internal
and external parties. The JOE & THE JUICE CSR Policy for Business Partners requires third parties to behave
ethically and with integrity while upholding standards for fair business practices and competition, prohibiting bribes,
illegal political contributions, benefits or gifts, financial or professional conflicts of interest while maintaining an
environment of transparency and free speech via mandatory disclosures and reporting mechanisms. All new
employees are required to read and confirm they understand the Code of Conduct prior to employment and JOE &
THE JUICE monitors for breach of these standards and undertakes disciplinary actions should issues arise.
In 2024, JOE & THE JUICE continued, and expanded on, its use of the OneTrust platform for completion of third-
party due diligence questionnaires and third-party management. JOE & THE JUICE risk assesses its third-party taking
into account factors such as spend, location, and nature of services. JOE & THE JUICE will expand its due diligence
programme in 2025 based on risks identified by the development of its ERM programme.

JOE & THE JUICE is a retail chain of juice stores located in trendy neighborhoods or pedestrian areas with heavy
traffic. JOE & THE JUICE sells fresh, made-to-order fruit and vegetable juices, smoothies, shots, sandwiches and
salads, coffee, and tea prepared on the premises, and cakes made by a third-party supplier. JOE & THE JUICE
HOLDING A/S (the Parent Company) provides services to subsidiaries in the JOE & THE JUICE group (the Group)
and hold ownership shares in companies that operate JOE & THE JUICE stores and related activities. In this review,
when referring to the Group, it includes the Parent Company and all its subsidiaries.
At the end of 2024, the Group had 397 stores (including franchise stores) across 20 countries in Europe, North
America, Middle East and Asia-Pacific.
The address of the Group’s registered office is located at Østergade 26, Copenhagen, Denmark. The Group’s
registration number in Denmark is 35 52 79 90.

Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting
Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and as adopted by the European
Union (EU) and additional requirements of the Danish Financial Statements Act.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for certain
financial instruments that are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period as set out in the accounting
policies.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Danish Kroner (DKK), which is the Parent’s functional
currency. The consolidated financial statements have been rounded to the nearest thousand except when otherwise
stated.
Certain immaterial reclassifications in the comparative figures have been performed when preparing the consolidated
financial statements of the Group for 2024.
The Group realized a profit of 143.3 MDKK in 2024 and the total equity amounted to 15.9 MDKK as of December
31, 2024. In addition, the Group has strong cash position amounting to 143.9 MDKK as of December 31, 2024, which
was driven primarily by net cash flows from operations amounting to 385.3 MDKK and can be further supplemented
by available loan facilities under its Senior Facilities Agreement. The Board of Directors have, at the time of approving
the consolidated financial statements, assessed that the Group has adequate liquidity and financial resources to
continue its operations in the foreseeable future. Based on this assessment, the consolidated financial statements are
presented under the going concern assumption.
New and amended IFRS Accounting Standards that are effective for the current year
On January 01, 2024, the Group has adopted all new or amended standards (IFRS) and interpretations (IFRIC) as
adopted by the EU and which are effective for the financial year January 01 – December 31, 2024, which consist of
the following:
current
The amendments had been considered by the Group but had no material impact on presentation of liabilities
as current or non-current.
• Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements: Noncurrent Liabilities with Covenants
The amendments had been considered by the Group but had no material impact. Note 19 provides the
required disclosures related to these amendments.
• Amendments to IFRS 16 Leases: Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback
The amendments had no material impact to the Group.
• Amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures: Supplier
Finance Arrangements
The amendments had no material impact to the Group.
New and revised IFRS Accounting Standards in issue but not yet effective
The IASB has issued, and the EU has endorsed, a number of new standards, and updated certain existing standards,
some of which are effective for accounting periods beginning on January 01, 2025 or later, including:
• Amendments to IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates: Lack of Exchangeability
(applicable for annual periods beginning on or after January 01, 2025).
Contents of the notes to the consolidated financial statements
Note 2 Summary of significant accounting policies
23
The Group does not anticipate that the application of these amendments may have an impact on the Group’s
consolidated financial statements in future periods.
• IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosures in Financial Statements (applicable for annual periods beginning on
or after January 01, 2027, but not yet endorsed for use in the EU).
The Group anticipates that the application of IFRS 18 may have an impact on the presentation of the Group’s
consolidated financial statements in future periods.
• IFRS 19 Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures (applicable for annual periods beginning
on or after January 01, 2027, but not yet endorsed for use in the EU).
The Group does not anticipate that IFRS 19 will be applied for purposes of the consolidated financial
statements of the Group.
Principles of consolidation
Subsidiaries
The consolidated financial statements include the Parent and its subsidiaries. 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 to direct the activities
of the entity. This is generally established through holding of the majority of voting rights. Subsidiaries are fully
consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that
control ceases.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains or losses on transactions between group companies are
eliminated.
Foreign currencies
Functional currency
Items included in the consolidated financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency
of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. Major functional currencies for the Group include
DKK, USD, GBP, SEK and NOK.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the
transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from settlement of such transactions are recognized in
consolidated statements of profit (loss) within financial income and expense. Similarly, foreign exchange gains and
losses resulting from translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at period-end
exchange rates are presented in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) within financial income
and expense.
Translation of group companies
The results and financial position of foreign operations that have a functional currency different from the presentation
currency (DKK) are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
• assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that
balance sheet.
• income and expenses for each statement of profit or loss and statement of comprehensive income are
translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative
effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated
at the dates of the transactions), and
Contents of the notes to the consolidated financial statements
Note 2 Summary of significant accounting policies
24
• all resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.
Non-controlling interests
Non-controlling interests’ share of profit/loss for the year and of equity in subsidiaries is included in the Group’s
profit/loss for the year and of the equity of subsidiaries, respectively, but shown as separate items. Net profit for the
year is allocated to non-controlling interests using the ownership interests present on the reporting date.
Transactions with non-controlling interest that do not result in a change of control are recognized directly in equity.
Such transactions result in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests
to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to non-
controlling interest and the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in retained earnings attributable to
owners of JOE & JUICE HOLDING A/S.
Revenue recognition
Retail revenue
The Group’s retail revenue is generated primarily by the sale of made-to-order beverages and food from stores to
customers. The amount reported as revenue comprises the gross sales price less value-added tax and discounts. All
revenue within this category is recognized in accordance with the IFRS 15 category “at a point in time” and is
recognized when payment is tendered at the point of sale, net of discounts as the performance obligation has been
satisfied.
In some instances, customers buy food and delivery services in a single package through a delivery platform.
Management assesses whether the Group or the third-party service providers of the delivery platform act as principal
or agent. If the Group has control over the services before they are transferred to customers, the Group is considered
principal, and the gross amount received from the customer is recognized as revenue. The payment to the third-party
service providers performing delivery service is recognized as other external expense. If the third-party service
providers performing the delivery service have control over the products, the third-party service providers are
considered principal, and the gross amount received from the customer less the amount paid to the third-party service
providers is recognized as revenue. Based on an assessment of the contractual terms with the third-party service
providers and the fact that the Group has responsibility over the products before they are transferred to the customers,
the Group has the inventory risk and sets the prices, as such, the Group has concluded that in most instances it is the
principal and accordingly has recognized the gross sales amount through delivery platforms as revenue.
The Group operates a customer loyalty program. If a customer earns the right to additional goods for free or goods at
a discount, the transaction price is allocated between the actual sale and the right to additional goods on a relative fair
value basis. The portion of revenue deferred is recognized when the customer claims the goods.
Retail revenue consists of revenue from sales in stores, revenue from JOE App orders, and revenue from sales through
delivery services providers.
Franchise revenue
The Group’s franchise agreements typically comprise a bundle of services including a franchise right, access to
software and support and IT applications. When entering such arrangements, the Group identifies the performance
obligations included in the contract and allocates consideration to each of them and recognizes revenue at fulfillment
of the respective performance obligations.
A franchise right and the provision of a technology platform is considered to establish a right for the franchisee to use
the JOE & THE JUICE brand and concept as it exists throughout the term of the arrangement. Consequently,
consideration attributable to the franchise right is recognized as revenue over the term of the arrangement. Revenue
attributable to services, including access to software and support IT applications, which is considered distinct, is
recognized along with provision of the service.
Incremental costs of obtaining a franchise contract are recognized as an asset only if the Group expects to recover
those costs, either directly or indirectly. Costs incurred to fulfil a franchise contract is recognized as an asset if the
costs relate directly to the franchise contract, the costs generate or enhance resources of the Group that will be used
Contents of the notes to the consolidated financial statements
Note 2 Summary of significant accounting policies
25
in satisfying performance obligations in the future; and the costs are expected to be recovered. These costs are
amortized over the franchise period.
Raw materials and consumables used
Raw materials and consumables used primarily consist of food and beverage costs associated with generating revenue
within our company-operated stores as well as distribution/freight costs from the distributor of food and beverages to
company-operated stores. Food and beverage costs are recognized as expenses in the statement of loss when the
inventory is sold whereas distribution/freight costs are expensed as incurred.
Staff expenses
Staff expenses comprise wages and salaries as well as payroll related expenses. These costs are expensed as incurred.
Other external expenses
Other external expenses comprise expenses for utilities and maintenance, rental and property, consultancy and legal,
transactional fees from credit card sale transactions and delivery services, non-payroll related staff expenses, and other
expenses.
Non-payroll related staff expenses include costs incurred for social events, travel and accommodation, recruitment
and other non-payroll related staff expenses.
Pre-opening costs that are directly attributable to store constructions and accession to leases are capitalized either as
part of property, plant, and equipment or right-of-use assets, as applicable. Otherwise, these are expensed as part of
other external expenses.
Financial income and expenses
Financial income and expenses comprise interest income and expenses as well as interest calculated using the effective
interest rate method, foreign currency gains and losses, and interests from leasing agreements. Furthermore,
reclassification of amounts from the hedging reserve regarding interest rate hedges and gains and losses on interest
rate derivatives not designated as hedging instruments are included.
Income tax
The income tax expense or credit for the year is the tax payable/receivables on the current year’s taxable income/loss,
based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities
attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of
the reporting period in the countries where the Group operates and generates taxable income. 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.
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax
bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred
tax liabilities are not recognized if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not
accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business
combination that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income
tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting
period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized, or the deferred income tax
liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets are recognized only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilize those
temporary differences and tax loss carryforwards. 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 profits will be available to
allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be recovered. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at each
Contents of the notes to the consolidated financial statements
Note 2 Summary of significant accounting policies
26
reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the
deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and
liabilities and where the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities
are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to
realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized on taxable temporary
differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and joint arrangements except where the Group is able to control
the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the
foreseeable future.
Current and deferred tax is recognized in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other
comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or
directly in equity, respectively.
Uncertain tax positions
A provision is recognized for those matters for which the tax determination is uncertain but it is considered probable
that there will be a future outflow of funds to a tax authority. The provisions are measured at the best estimate of the
amount expected to become payable. The assessment is based on combined judgment of Management and tax
professionals within the Group, supported by previous experience in respect of such activities and in certain cases
based on specialist independent tax advice.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment is measured at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. The cost includes
expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
All repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method, net of their residual values over their estimated useful lives,
as follows:
Leasehold improvements .................................................
7-10 years or the lease term, if shorter
Furniture, fittings and equipment ....................................
3 years
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at least once per each reporting
period or when indications of changes are identified.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds from the sale of such assets with the carrying
amount. These are included in depreciation, amortization and impairment if losses are incurred and in other operating
income if gains are realized.
Leases
Leases are recognized as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is
available for use by the Group. The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the
lease term on a straight-line basis.
The leases of the Group consist mainly of property rentals.
Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the
net present value of the following lease payments:
• fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable
• variable lease payments that are based on an index or a rate
Contents of the notes to the consolidated financial statements
Note 2 Summary of significant accounting policies
27
• payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option.
The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be determined, or the
Group’s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate that the Group would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary
to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment with similar terms,
security and conditions.
The Group is exposed to potential future increases in variable lease payments based on an index or rate, which are not
included in the lease liability until they take effect. When adjustments to lease payments based on an index or rate
take effect, the lease liability is reassessed and adjusted against the right-of-use asset.
Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over
the lease period to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.
Lease liabilities are subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability
and reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made.
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:
• the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability
• any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received
• any initial direct costs, and
• restoration costs.
Amounts paid to a third party for obtaining the right to enter a lease are included in the initial measurement of the
right-of-use asset as initial direct costs.
Variable lease payments not linked to an index are recognized as an expense in the period in which the event or
condition that triggers those payments occurs. Payments associated with short-term leases are recognized as an
expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12
months or less. The Group has no leases of low-value assets.
Extension and termination options are included in a number of property and equipment leases across the Group. These
are used to maximize operational flexibility in terms of managing the assets used in the Group’s operations. The
majority of extension and termination options held are exercisable only by the Group and not by the respective lessor.
Goodwill and other intangible assets
Goodwill
Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and fair value
of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently, if events or changes in
circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units (CGUs) for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made
to the CGU or groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which goodwill arose.
The CGU or groups of CGUs are identified at the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal management
purposes. In 2024, the Group changed the management reporting structure to be by region, affecting the method in
which goodwill is monitored. As a result, Management has re-allocated goodwill from Denmark to the Nordic region.
Other intangible assets
Other intangible assets include completed development projects. These generally include internal IT platforms and
software. These have a finite useful life and are subsequently carried at cost less accumulated amortization and
Contents of the notes to the consolidated financial statements
Note 2 Summary of significant accounting policies
28
impairment.
Costs associated with maintaining IT-platforms are recognized as an expense as incurred. Development costs that are
directly attributable to the design and testing of identifiable and unique projects controlled by the Group are
recognized as intangible assets when the following criteria are met:
• it is technically feasible to complete the software so that it will be available for use
• management intends to complete the software and use or sell it
• there is an ability to use or sell the software
• it can be demonstrated how the software will generate probable future economic benefits
• adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the
software are available, and
• the expenditure attributable to the software during its development can be reliably measured.
Directly attributable costs that are capitalized as part of the projects include employee costs and professional fees
arising directly from bringing the asset to its working condition and the cost of testing whether the asset is functioning
properly.
Capitalized development costs are recorded as intangible assets and amortized from the point at which the asset is
ready for use.
Research and development expenditures that do not meet the criteria above are recognized as an expense as incurred.
Development costs previously recognized as an expense are not recognized as an asset in a subsequent period.
The Group amortizes intangible assets with a finite useful life using the straight-line method over the following
periods:
Completed development projects ....................................
5 years
Impairment of non-financial assets
Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortization and are tested annually
for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other
assets are tested 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 of disposal and value
in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately
identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-
generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible
reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period. Impairment for property, plant and equipment is
assessed on a restaurant-by-restaurant basis except for corporate assets which are tested at a consolidated level.
Corporate assets do not generate separate cash flows and are tested for impairment in the context of the CGU or group
of CGUs to which they belong.

Note 2 Summary of significant accounting policies
29
Inventories
Inventories comprise raw materials for preparation of sandwiches, juices and coffee as well as purchased finished
products for resale. Furthermore, inventories consist of non-food products in the form of materials or supplies that are
consumed in making the final products. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost
comprises direct materials and are assigned on the basis of first-in-first-out (FIFO) method. Net realizable value is the
estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. No
adjustment is deemed necessary to reduce inventory to net realizable value due to the rapid turnover and high
utilization of inventory.
Trade receivables
Trade receivables are recognized initially at the transaction price and are subsequently measured at amortized cost
using the effective interest method.
The Group holds the trade receivables with the objective of collecting the contractual cash flows and therefore
measures them subsequently at amortized cost.
The Group applies the simplified approach using a provision matrix in estimating the expected credit losses which
uses historical loss rates adjusted for forward-looking information.
Prepayments
Prepayments are measured at cost and comprise advance payments made for goods or services that are yet to be
received. Prepayments consist of prepaid rent and prepaid general and administrative expenses.
Cash
Cash consists of cash on hand and bank demand deposits.
Equity
Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown
in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. The Group’s 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.
Foreign currency translation reserve
Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are recognized in other comprehensive income and
accumulated in a separate reserve within equity. The cumulative amount is reclassified to the statement of loss when
the net investment is disposed of.
Cash flow hedging reserve
The hedging reserve includes the cash flow hedge reserve and is used to recognize the effective portion of gains or
losses on derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges. Amounts are subsequently either transferred
to the initial cost of the hedged non-financial item or reclassified to the consolidated statements of profit (loss), as
appropriate depending on effectiveness of the hedging strategy.
Financial liabilities
Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognized at fair value. Incremental transaction costs that are directly attributable to the
acquisition or issue of financial liabilities are included in the initial measurement of the financial liabilities other than
those at fair value through profit or loss.
Contents of the notes to the consolidated financial statements
Note 2 Summary of significant accounting policies
30
Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction
costs) and the redemption amount is recognized in the statement of loss over the period of the borrowings using the
effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognized as transaction costs of the
loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred
until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will
be drawn down, the fee is capitalized as a prepayment for liquidity services and amortized over the period of the
facility to which it relates.
Borrowings are removed from the balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled
or expired.
Where the terms of a financial liability are renegotiated and result in substantially different terms, it is treated as an
extinguishment of the original liability and recognition of a new liability on the amended terms. Management
considers both qualitative and quantitative changes in this assessment. Qualitative factors comprise among others
change in the term of the loan, change in seniority, change in interest rate base and change in loan currency. Under
the quantitative assessment, a change in the present value of the future payments discounted at the original discount
rate of at least 10% is considered to establish substantially different terms. If the terms are considered not substantially
different, the carrying amount of the liability is remeasured to equal the present value of the future payments under
the amended terms including payments made to the lenders upon the renegotiation, discounted at the original effective
interest rate. Third party transaction costs are amortized to the statement of loss over the remaining term of the loan.
Derivative financial instruments
The Group recognizes a derivative financial instrument in its consolidated statements of balance sheet when, and only
when, it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. At initial recognition, a derivative financial
instrument is designated and measured as financial liability (asset) at fair value through profit or loss. Subsequently,
it is measured at fair value.
Provisions
Provisions are liabilities of uncertain timing or amount. A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the
Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow
of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are calculated on a discounted basis. The
carrying amounts of provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.
The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the
time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is
recognized as interest expense.
Provisions mainly comprise refurbishment obligations and legal disputes.
Trade payables
Trade payables represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year
which are unpaid. Trade payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after
the reporting period. They are recognized initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost
using the effective interest method.
Other liabilities
Other liabilities comprise employee related costs, withholding tax liabilities, and VAT. The liabilities are measured
at the amount expected to be paid.
Deferred revenue
An obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Group has received consideration from the
customer or an amount of consideration is due is classified as a contract liability and presented as deferred revenue.
Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue when the Group performs under the contract. Contract liabilities
comprise mainly deferred revenue related to franchise arrangements, prepaid loyalty vouchers, and gifts and rewards
under the customer loyalty program which constitute material rights.
Contents of the notes to the consolidated financial statements
Note 2 Summary of significant accounting policies
31
Share-based payments
The Group has issued equity settled warrants to members of management and key employees. The grant date fair
value of the warrants is recognized as an expense over the vesting period with a corresponding credit to share-based
payments reserve. The programs vest upon an exit event (a transaction involving loss of control by the controlling
parties, such as an initial public offering) and continued employment, and the vesting period is consequently estimated
based on expectations about the timing of an exit event. This estimate is reassessed regularly. Further, the expense is
adjusted for the effect of forfeitures, and on a cumulative basis, the expense is equal to the grant date fair value of the
number of warrants which vest.
Grant date fair value is determined considering market vesting conditions comprising a linkage between the number
of awards that eventually vest and the exit date equity value. Fair value is not subsequently remeasured. Non-market
vesting conditions comprising continued employment and the occurrence of an exit event throughout the service
period are not included in grant date fair value. Upon commencement of expense recognition, an estimate of the extent
to which nonmarket vesting conditions will be met is made. If a participant fails to meet a non-market vesting
condition, no expense is recognized.
Fair value estimation
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value of financial assets traded in active markets are
based on quoted market prices at the close of trading on the reporting date. The fair value of financial instruments that
are not traded in an active market is determined using generally accepted valuation technics based on observable
inputs from active markets. For financial liabilities where the fair value is disclosed, the fair value is estimated by
discounting future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate.
The Group classifies fair value measurement based on the degree of subjectivity in determining fair value:
Level 1: The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives and equity
securities) is based on quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (e.g. over-the-counter
derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable market data and rely as
little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to determine fair value of an instrument
are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in
level 3.

Note 3 Significant accounting estimates and judgements
32
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available
and accordingly actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
This note provides an overview of the areas that involved a higher degree of judgement or complexity, and of items
which are more likely to be materially adjusted in a subsequent year due to estimates and assumptions turning out to
be wrong. Detailed information about each of these estimates and judgements is included in other notes together with
information about the basis of calculation for each affected line item in the consolidated financial statements.
Significant judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies
Determination of lease terms
The Group’s lease contracts generally have extension options for the lessee and are considered non-cancellable from
the perspective of the lessor. The Group can generally terminate the leases with short notice (less than one year).
Determination of the lease terms on lease contracts with extension options is subject to management judgement due
to the material impact on measurement of the right-of-use asset and the lease liability where the history of extension
options exercised is considered. A change in lease term could affect the right-of-use assets and the lease liability.
Refer to Note 13 for a description of the judgments made in respect of determining the lease term.
Cash generating units
When performing goodwill impairment testing, Management applies judgment with respect to the allocation of
goodwill to cash generating units. In prior reporting periods, all goodwill was allocated to the Danish operation within
the Nordic region. In 2024, with the change in current management reporting structure, Management decided to
monitor the goodwill at Nordic region and has therefore re-allocated goodwill thereto. Please refer to Note 11 for
further information.
Accounting estimates
Impairment of goodwill
In estimating the recoverable amount of goodwill which is based on value-in use, a discounted cash flow valuation
approach is used. The estimated future cash flows expected to be generated from continuing operations in the Nordics
CGU are discounted to their present value using a discount rate that reflects current market assessments and the risks
specific to the CGU, including benchmarking to a relevant peer group in the fast casual restaurant industry.
In estimating cash flows from continuing operations, Management considers revenue growth and gross margin used
in the forecast period to be the most sensitive elements. The forecast comprises projections of in-store revenue, staff
costs and overhead costs based on current and anticipated market conditions and consumer trends. Forecasts include
revenue growth rates for specific markets applicable to the CGU to which goodwill is allocated, being the Nordic
region. Forward-looking metrics are based on strategic business plans prepared by Management and approved by the
Board of Directors.
The key assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount for the Nordics CGUs, are further explained in Note
11.

Leases - determination of the incremental borrowing rate.
As the Group cannot readily determine the interest rate implicit in its leases, in order to estimate its lease liabilities,
the Group uses an incremental borrowing rate (IBR), which reflects the interest rate that the Group would have to pay
to borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to
the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment. The IBR requires estimation when no observable rates are
available (such as for subsidiaries that do not enter into financing transactions) or when they need to be adjusted to
reflect the terms and conditions of the lease (for example, when leases are not in the subsidiary’s functional currency).
The Group generally estimates the IBR using observable inputs (such as market interest rates) when available and is
required to make certain entity-specific estimates (such as the subsidiary’s stand-alone credit rating).

A number of key employees, members of Management, and members of the Board of Directors have been granted
warrants to acquire shares in the Parent Company, described as the “2016 warrant program”, “2020 warrant program”,
“2023 warrant program” and “2024 warrant program” below. The warrants are exercisable only upon continued
employment, varying minimum enterprise value as applicable to each warrant program, and upon an Exit Event,
which is defined individually and differently under each warrant program. Warrants lapse upon ceasing of
employment subject to certain leaver provisions. All warrant programs have been classified as equity-settled share-
based arrangements.
The Parent Company measured the fair value of services received from Board of Directors by reference to the fair
value of the equity instruments granted at grant date, being the most appropriate measure of the value of the services
received by the Parent Company.
2016 warrant program
In November 2016, a variable number of equity-settled warrants in the Parent were granted to the Chairman of the
Board of Directors and the CEO at the time. The warrants were exercisable only upon an Exit Event. Further, they
were subject to the participants still being in service for the Group as of the date of an Exit Event, and the number of
warrants to be awarded upon an Exit Event varies based on the fair value of the underlying shares. However, if an
Exit Event takes place no more than 1.5 years after termination of employment, the participant would be considered
a “good leaver” and would retain the right to a cash compensation. The warrants will expire on November 30, 2031.
The grant date fair value of the warrants was calculated with a Monte Carlo simulation using Level 1 and Level 2
inputs. The key assumption in the option pricing model was related to the expected share-price, the expected volatility,
expected term, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Parent’s share price was based on the price per share for
the shares acquired by General Atlantic JTJ B.V. in November 2016. The expected volatility as of the grant date was
based on observable historical volatility for a peer group of comparable listed companies, adjusted for differences in
capital structure. The vesting period of the warrants was four years based on Management’s assessment of the period
during which an Exit Event was deemed probable and subsequently changed to 7.6 years. The risk-free interest rate
was based on the observable rate for a 10-year Danish government bond. The grant date fair value was assessed at
DKK 17.6 million.
During 2023, the warrant program ceased, resulting in a reversal of the cumulative expense recognized to date of
DKK 14.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. Participants were deemed "good leavers” in accordance
with the program, thus, the value of the program for “good leavers” has instead been expensed.
2020 warrant program
In September 2020, a warrant program comprising 96,531,134 warrants was offered to a number of key employees.
The warrants are exercisable only if the total equity value of the Parent exceeds DKK 3.5 billion in an Exit Event.
Each warrant entitles the holder to acquire one ordinary share in the Parent for an amount equal to the exercise price
of 0.01 DKK per share.
The warrants become exercisable upon an Exit Event and are subject to continued employment, and a minimum
enterprise value requirement, subject to certain leaver provisions. The warrants have no expiry date. The vesting
period of the warrants has been originally assessed at 1.9 years based on expected timing of an Exit Event through an
IPO and subsequently changed to 3.8 years. The grant date fair value of the warrants was estimated using the method
as for the 2016 program but with updated key assumptions. The grant date fair value was assessed at DKK 0.6 million.
During 2023, the vesting period was reassessed from 3.8 years to 4.8 years, resulting in a cumulative catch-up
adjustment of approximately DKK 0.1 million. The net income relating to these warrants was DKK 0.2 million for
the year ended December 31, 2023.
During 2024, the net expense relating to these warrants was DKK 0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Note 6 Share-based payments

2023 warrant program
In June 2023, a warrant program comprising 109,466,970 warrants was offered to a number of key employees. Each
warrant entitles the holder to acquire one ordinary share in the Parent for an amount equal to the exercise price of 0.01
DKK per share. The warrants vest over a period of two (2) years from the grant date.
The warrants become exercisable upon an Exit Event and are subject to continued employment, and a minimum
enterprise value requirement. The warrants will expire on December 31, 2025.
The grant date fair value of the warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. The
key assumptions used include the current value of the underlying shares, exercise price, performance hurdle, term of
the option, risk-free interest rate and expected volatility of the share. The risk-free interest rate was based on the yield
curve for Danish government bonds. The expected volatility was based on observable historical volatility of peer
companies which are deemed to be closely comparable, adjusted for differences in size, capital structure, and other
risk factors, including the effect of COVID-19 pandemic and 2022 market uncertainties induced by high inflation
rates and Ukraine conflict. The grant date fair value was assessed at DKK 0.9 million.
The net expense relating to these warrants was DKK 0.1 million (2023: DKK 0.1 million) for the year ended December
31, 2024.
2024 warrant program
In July 2024, a warrant program comprising 257,602,368 warrants was granted to members of key management, other
key employees and members of the Board of Directors. Subsequently, an additional 14,351,108 warrants were granted.
Each warrant entitles the holder to acquire one ordinary share in the Parent for an amount equal to the exercise price
of 0.01 DKK per share. The warrants vest over a period of four (4) years from the grant date. The vesting period will
begin with an initial eighteen (18) months cliff-period. Subsequently, 6/16 of the granted warrants will vest
immediately on the first business day of the first quarter following the cliff-period. Following the cliff-period, the
remaining warrants will vest linearly with 1/10 each quarter until all the granted warrants have vested. No warrants
will vest during the cliff-period or until the date of vesting where the 6/16 of the granted warrants will vest. Should
an Exit Event becomes reasonably certain and occur earlier, there will be an accelerated vesting of the warrants.
The vested warrants become exercisable upon an Exit Event, at any one or more times as discretionary determined by
the Board of Directors, or during the exercise periods as defined in the warrant agreements. The warrants are also
subject to continued employment of participants during the vesting period, with additional provisions for “good
leaver” and “intermediate leaver”. The warrants do not have an expiry date.
The grant date fair value of the warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. The
key assumptions used include the current value of the underlying shares, exercise price, expected time to maturity,
expected volatility of the share, risk-free rate, dividends, and tenure risk. The risk-free interest rate was based on the
yield curve for Danish government bonds. The expected volatility was based on observable historical volatility of
peer companies which are deemed to be closely comparable, adjusted for differences in size, capital structure, and
other risk factors. The expected term has been applied at 2.5 years. The tenure risk is based on historical churn rate
for management and employees at similar levels. The total grant date fair value was assessed at DKK 20.5 million,
net of adjustment for tenure risk.
The net expense relating to these warrants was DKK 4.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Development projects in progress generally include internal IT platforms and software that are currently in

There were no disposals nor impairment during 2024 and 2023.
Assumptions for impairment tests for goodwill
The Group tests goodwill for impairment at least annually as of December 31 or more frequently, if certain events or
circumstances warrant. An impairment test was performed as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. No impairment has
been recognized in 2024 and 2023.
Goodwill is monitored based on CGU or groups of CGUs identifiable at the lowest level. When acquired in 2013, the
activities outside Denmark were insignificant, and consequently, all goodwill has been allocated to the Danish
operation as a group of CGUs within the Nordic region until 2023. In 2024, the Group changed the management
reporting structure by regions, affecting the method in which goodwill is monitored by the Management. As a result,
Management has decided to re-allocate all goodwill to the Nordic region. No impairment would have been recognized
had the change in allocation to CGU not been performed.
The impairment test of goodwill is based on the value in use approach to determine the recoverable amount.
Contents of the notes to the consolidated financial statements
Note 11 Goodwill and other intangible assets
44
For goodwill impairment testing, a number of factors are considered including, but not limited to, economic conditions
and the competitive environment, revenues, discount rates and future capital expenditures.
The expected future net cash flow is based on budget and business forecast approved by Management for the year
2024 and projections for subsequent years up to and including 2028, followed by a terminal period starting from 2029.
Projections comprise forecasts of revenue, and all associated costs under anticipated market conditions. The Group is
able to make specific profitability forecast related to the Nordic region’s operation.
The key assumptions in the forecasted periods are revenue growth and gross margin. The assumptions are determined
based on past experience. The annual revenue growth rates applied in the 2024 forecasted periods are within an
interval of 13.8% to 15.1% (2023: 6.4% to 8.7%), which is align with the Group’s growth strategy in the Nordic
region.
The discount rate applied is 8.9% (2023: 9.8%), corresponding to a pre-tax rate of 10.3% (2023:12.6%). The applied
growth rate that was assessed in 2024 for the terminal period is 2.5% (2023: 2.5%) per annum. The terminal growth
rate correlates with the general long-term expected growth rate of the Nordic region.

Note 13 Leases

Most of the leased properties are in Denmark, the United Kingdom and the United States. Lease terms are negotiated
on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms and conditions.
Leases in Denmark have extension options for the lessee and are considered non-cancelable from the perspective of
the lessor according to normal practice in Denmark and are therefore considered perpetual leases. The Group can
generally terminate the leases with short term notice and taking into consideration both the degree of historic exercise
of extension options and unexpected events, the Group has assessed that it is reasonably certain that the remaining
lease term will be up to 7-10 years for the Danish property leases commenced as per the balance sheet date.
Leases in the United States have an initial lease term of 10 years with a termination right after 5 years and include
extension options, with the intention of securing flexibility in the lease.
Leases in the United Kingdom have an initial lease term of 10 years with a termination right after 5 years.
Other property leases are mainly fixed term leases and comprise renegotiation clauses effective upon expiry of the
original lease term. All other leases are fixed term leases with a 12-to-60-month fixed time span.
The Group reassesses the lease term upon the occurrence of either a significant event or significant changes in
circumstances that are within the control of the Group. The market in which the Group operates is characterized by
being a relatively mature market.
Expenses relating to variable lease payments comprise mainly revenue-based lease payments and lease payments for
stores located in airports, where the final payments are dependent on the number of passengers.
The lease agreements do not impose any covenants, but leased assets may not be used as security for borrowing
purposes.
Some rental agreements comprise revenue-based lease payments in addition to fixed payments. The variable lease
payments disclosed above comprise such revenue-based payments. Overall, the variable payments constitute up to
10-20% of the Group’s entire lease payments. The Group expects this ratio to remain within this range in future years.
The variable payments depend on sales and consequently on the overall economic development over the next few
years. Considering the development of sales expected over the next years, variable rent expenses are expected to
continue to present a similar proportion of the entire lease payments in future years. The discount rates applied on the
lease contracts are determined using the incremental borrowing rate adjusted for lease specific measures and currency.
The discount rates applied are within a spread of 5.5%-11.0% (2023:5.5%-11.0%) where discount rates of 7.0%-
10.0% (2023: 8.0%-11.0%) for lease additions during the year have been used.
The Group has committed itself to lease agreements of an amount of DKK 18.0 million (2023: DKK 6.4 million) to
leases not yet commenced as of December 31, 2024.
For maturity of lease liabilities, see Note 20.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities within each tax jurisdiction are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to set off
and the income taxes were levied by the same taxation authority.
The recognized tax assets that relate to tax losses carried forward, mainly relates to operations outside Denmark. In
connection with the assessment of the utilization of the tax assets, special emphasis has been placed on the fact that
the most significant tax loss carry forwards are in markets, where the Group now is well established, and these
operations are expected to generate positive results going forward.
In 2024, the Group has recognized deferred tax assets of DKK 141.6 million. Recognized deferred tax asset primarily
relates to United States (DKK 75.5 million) and Denmark (DKK 36.8 million). Remaining recognized deferred tax
asset amount relates to Sweden, Switzerland and the UK. The unrecognized deferred tax assets related to tax losses
carried forward amounts to DKK 139 million (2023: DKK 190 million) and have not been recognized due to
uncertainties of the utilization within the next 5 years. There is no expiration date on tax loss carried forward.
The Group operates across many tax jurisdictions. Application of tax law can be complex and requires judgement to
assess risk and estimate outcomes, particularly in relation to the Group’s cross-border operations and transactions.
These judgements are subject to risk and uncertainty, hence there is a possibility that changes in circumstances will
alter expectations, which may impact the amount of tax assets and tax liabilities, including deferred tax, recognized
on the balance sheet and the amount of other tax losses and temporary differences not yet recognized. Uncertain tax
positions have been evaluated in accordance with the accounting policies. Management believes that the provisions
made are adequate.

A-shares, B-shares, and C-shares have a nominal value of 0.01 (2023:0.01).
A-shares and B-shares shares have equal voting rights. B-shares have a preferential dividend and liquidation right
comprising the amount paid in plus 10% interest per annum on a non-compounding basis, which amounted to 66.3
MDKK (2023: 224.4 MDKK) as at December 31, 2023. Holders of A-shares are entitled to all proceeds in excess of
the B-shares preference amount. All decisions about dividend distributions and capital decreases are decided at the
general meeting based on proposals by the Board of Directors.
During 2023, the Group issued three classes of convertible C-shares totaling 2,203,330,842. These were issued as C1-
shares totaling 1,516,896,691 shares, C2-shares totaling 505,632,230 shares and C3-shares totaling 180,801,921
shares. All C-shares carry equal voting rights as A-shares and B-shares. C1-shares are convertible into B-shares on a
1:1 basis while C2-shares and C3-shares are convertible into A-shares on a 1:1 basis. C1-shares are stapled to C2-
shares on a ratio of 3:1 and are transferable and convertible as a unit while C3-shares are transferable and convertible
separately. All C-shares have senior priority preference to all other shares of the Group, except among each C-share,
on receiving preferential interest upon occurrence of an Exit Event or such other amount as would be payable upon
conversion prior such Exit Event.
During 2024, the Group converted the existing B-shares, totaling 4,444,489,635 shares, into new and additional A-
shares, while all the existing C-share classes, totaling 2,203,330,842 shares, were converted into new and additional
B-shares. The conversion of shares is based on the relative value of A-shares and B-shares considering the
shareholder’s current holding of A-shares and the value of relevant B-shares, taking into account the accrued
preferential interest on such B-shares.
In addition, during 2024, the Group issued additional A-shares totaling 77,478,860.

Note 19 Capital management
55
The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to:
• safeguard the ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can provide returns for shareholders and
benefits for other stakeholders, and
• maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
In order to aid such objectives, Management prepares cash flow budgets regularly and forecasts when required. This
enables Management to act in due time in order to comply with the capital management objectives.
Loan covenants
On December 21, 2023, all outstanding loans as disclosed in Note 16 were refinanced and a new Senior Facilities
Agreement (SFA) was entered into between the Group and Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (publ). The new
Senior Facilities Agreement included financial covenants relating to leverage ratio (Net Senior Debt to Adjusted
EBITDA as defined in the SFA) and interest coverage (Adjusted EBITDA as defined in the SFA to Finance Charges).
The Group must report and meet these covenants on a quarterly basis, starting in Q3 2024.
As of December 31, 2024, the Group was able to meet both covenants for Q3 2024 and Q4 2024.
Refer further to Note 16 – Borrowings.

Note 20 Financial risk management
56
The Group’s principal financial assets include trade receivables and cash while principal financial liabilities comprise
borrowings, lease liabilities and trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial assets and liabilities is
to finance the Group’s operations.
The Group is exposed to market risk (interest rate and foreign currency), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s
management oversees the management of these risks on an ongoing basis and responds to those risks as appropriate.
The Group does not take on any speculative positions.
Interest rate risk
The Group is exposed to interest risk arising from floating rate loans. The Group has entered into interest rate swap
agreements in 2018 with termination date on July 30, 2023, and subsequently in 2024 with termination date on
December 21, 2027. The interest rate risk is partially hedged through interest rate swaps under which the Group
receives a floating interest rate and pays a fixed interest rate. An increase or decrease in the Copenhagen Interbank
Offered Rate (CIBOR) will result in a gain or loss, as applicable, in the fair value of the interest rate swap. Refer to
Note 22 for an overview of the outstanding interest rate swaps.
Upon entering into the new Senior Facilities Agreement as disclosed in Note 16, a new floating interest rate for the
USD Term Loan was applied which is based on Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR). The CIBOR and
Term SOFR base rates on the new loans have a 0% floor and originally have three-months tenor. On June 2024, the
Group elected to change both CIBOR and Term SOFR base rates to have six-months tenor.
As of December 31, 2024, the applicable CIBOR and Term SOFR rates were positive (2023: positive).
A reasonably possible change in the six-months and three-months CIBOR and Term SOFR rates for 2024 and 2023,
respectively, would have the following impact in profit/loss before tax determined on an annual basis:
In thousands DKK
2024
2023
1.0% increase (2023: 1.0% increase) ..............................................................
3,510
3,493
0.25% decrease (2023: 0.25% decrease) .........................................................
(878)
(873)
The amounts are determined based on the loans outstanding as at December 31, 2023 and loans and swaps outstanding
as at December 31, 2024.
When assessing what is a reasonably possible change in interest rates, Management has considered the increased
interest rate volatility throughout 2024 and increased/decreased the change from +1.0% to -0.25% (2023: +1.0% to -
0.25%).
Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a balance sheet exposure will fluctuate
because of changes in foreign exchange rates.
The individual Group entities generate their revenue and incur expenses mainly in the local currency which is their
functional currency. Therefore, the operating activities do not give rise to foreign currency risk. The Group is exposed
to foreign currency risk on intercompany balances, and arises primarily from balances in USD, GBP, SEK and NOK.

Credit risk
Credit risk arises from cash and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit card sales.
Customers of the Group generally pay with credit card or with cash. The credit risk that arises from credit card sales
exposes the Group to the respective credit card issuers. Credit card issuers have a high credit rating. Therefore, the
risk is considered immaterial.
The most significant counterparty risk is related to deposits with banks and financial institutions, as the Group’s cash
balance at December 31, 2024, amounts to 143,948 TDKK (2023:127,971 TDKK). To mitigate this risk, the Group
only enters into bank demand deposits with financial counterparties processing a satisfactory long-term credit rating
from an internationally recognized agency (credit rating of minimum A-). The carrying amounts represent the
maximum credit exposure.

Note 21 Fair value information

The categorization of fair value measurements into different levels of the fair value hierarchy depends on the degree
to which the inputs to the fair value measurement are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value
measurement.
The following table gives information about how the fair values of the Group’s assets and liabilities, which are
measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, are determined (in particular, the valuation technique(s)
and inputs used).

a. Future cash flows are estimated based on forward interest rates (from observable yield curves at the end
of the reporting period) and contract interest rates, discounted at a rate that reflects the credit risk of
various counterparties (level 2 in the fair value measurement hierarchy).
There are no recurring fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy in 2024 and
2023 and therefore no sensitivity of the fair value measurements is required.
There were no transfers to other levels during 2024 and 2023.
The total gains and losses for the year included fair value loss amounting to 2,175 TDKK and 3,331 TDKK (before
settlement) in 2024 and 2023, respectively. In 2023, loss relating to recycling of fair value changes related to
discontinued interest rate hedges amounted to 958 TDKK. Such fair value gains or losses related to ineffective portion
of the hedge are presented as “financial income and expenses” as disclosed in Note 8, or presented as part of “other
comprehensive income (loss)” for the effective portion.

The fair value of borrowings is determined as the present value of the contractual cash flows discounted at a risk-free
rate plus a market credit spread for a credit rating determined based on a synthetic rating of the Group. The carrying
amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value due to the borrowings having floating interest rates. Fair value
amounted to 338,144 TDKK as of December 31, 2024 (2023: 332,010 TDKK).
The fair values are considered level 3 measurements in the fair value measurement hierarchy.

The fair values of the financial assets and financial liabilities included in the level 2 and level 3 categories above have
been determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on a discounted cash flow analysis, with
the most significant inputs being the discount rate that reflects the credit risk of counterparties.
Management believes that cash, trade and other receivables, and trade and other payables approximate their fair
values. Accordingly, fair value of such financial assets and liabilities are not disclosed.

The swaps were on inception designated as cash flow hedges of the interest rate.
On August 06, 2024, the Group entered into a new interest rate swap agreement with Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken
AB (publ) with a notional amount of 200 MDKK and exchanged the Group’s floating interest rate based on 6M
CIBOR to a fixed interest rate. The hedge agreement is effective starting on December 31, 2024 and will terminate
on December 21, 2027. As of December 31, 2024, the hedging strategy was considered effective, and loss from change
in fair value of the interest rate swap, which amounted to 2,175 TDKK, was presented in ‘other comprehensive income
(loss)’.
The cash flow hedge with notional amount of 350 MDKK and which was entered into on November 15, 2018 was
considered ineffective as of January 01, 2019, thus hedge accounting was discontinued prospectively. The cumulative
loss deferred through equity is presented as a separate reserve within equity and recycled through the statements of
profit (loss) within financial items over the remaining term of the loans. A loss of 958 TDKK was recycled in 2023
through the equity statement upon maturity. The fair value of the interest rate swap amounted to 670 TDKK as of July
30, 2023, before its settlement. The Group received a cash settlement on July 30, 2023 amounting to 670 TDKK upon
maturity of the interest rate swap agreement.
Fair value is determined as the present value of future payments, based on observable interest rate curves (level 2 in
the fair value measurement hierarchy). Interest rate swaps are recognized as other receivables and other payables
respectively.

Contents of the Notes to Parent Financial Statements
Note 1 Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements of the Parent Company have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Danish
Financial Statements Act applying to medium enterprises of reporting class C.
The accounting policies used in the preparation of the Parent Financial Statements are consistent with those of prior
year.
The financial statements are presented in Danish Kroner (DKK) and have been rounded to the nearest thousand except
when otherwise stated.
Recognition and measurement
Revenues are recognized in the statements of profit and loss as earned. Furthermore, value adjustments of financial
assets and liabilities measured at fair value or amortized cost are recognized. Moreover, all expenses incurred to
achieve the earnings for the year are recognized in the statements of profit and loss, including depreciation,
amortization, impairment losses and provisions as well as reversals due to changed accounting estimates of amounts
earlier recognized in the statements of profit and loss.
Value adjustments of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value or amortized cost are recognized. Moreover,
all expenses incurred to achieve the earnings for the year are recognized in the statements of profit and loss.
Assets are recognized in the balance sheet when it is probable that future economic benefits attributable to the asset
will flow to the Company, and the value of the asset can be measured reliably.
Liabilities are recognized in the balance sheet when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow from the
Company, and the value of the liability can be measured reliably.
Assets and liabilities are initially measured at cost. Subsequently, assets and liabilities are measured as described for
each item below.
Translation policies
Danish Kroner (DKK) is used as the presentation currency. All other currencies are regarded as foreign currencies.
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rates at the dates of transaction. Gains and losses
arising due to differences between the transaction date rates and the rates at the dates of payment are recognized in
financial income and financial expenses in the statements of profit and loss.
Receivables, payables and other monetary items in foreign currencies that have not been settled at the balance sheet
date are translated at the exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Any differences between the exchange rates at the
balance sheet date and the transaction date rates are recognized in financial income and financial expenses in the
statements of profit and loss.
Statements of profit
Other operating income
Other operating income comprises items of a secondary nature to the main activities of the Parent Company, including
recharges to other group entities for services and costs incurred by the Parent Company.
Other external expenses
Other external expenses comprise of external administrative expenses.
74
Staff expenses
Staff expenses comprise wages and salaries as well as payroll related expenses.
Financial income and expenses
Financial income and expenses are recognized in the statements of profit and loss at the amounts relating to the
financial year.
Tax on profit during the year
Tax for the year consists of current tax for the year and changes in deferred tax for the year. The tax attributable to
the profit (loss) for the year is recognized in the statements of profit and loss, whereas the tax attributable to equity
transactions is recognized directly in statements of changes in equity.
Balance sheet
Investments in subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiaries are recognized and measured under the equity method.
The item “Investments in subsidiaries” in the balance sheet include the proportionate ownership share of the net asset
value of the enterprises calculated on the basis of the fair values of identifiable net assets at the time of acquisition
with deduction or addition of unrealized intercompany profits or losses, other equity movements, and amortization
of goodwill calculated at the time of acquisition of the enterprises.
Subsidiaries with a negative net asset value are recognized at nil. Any legal or constructive obligation of the Parent
Company to cover the negative balance of the enterprise is recognized in provisions.
Receivables from group enterprises
Receivables are measured in the balance sheet at the lower of amortized cost and net realizable value, which
corresponds to nominal value less provisions for bad and doubtful debts.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities
Deferred income tax is measured using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising
between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes on the basis
of the intended use of the asset and settlement of the liability, respectively.
Deferred tax assets are measured at the value at which the asset is expected to be realized, either by elimination in tax
on future earnings or by set-off against deferred tax liabilities within the same legal tax entity.
Deferred tax is measured on the basis of the tax rules and tax rates that will be effective under the legislation at the
balance sheet date when the deferred tax is expected to become due as current tax. Any changes in deferred tax due
to changes to tax rates are recognized in the income statement or in equity if the deferred tax relates to items recognized
in equity.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost, substantially corresponding to nominal value.
Cash flow statement
No cash flow statement has been prepared for the Parent Company, as the Parent Company’s cash flows are included
in the cash flow statement for the Group based on Danish Financial Statement Act section 86.4.
