Independent Auditor's Report
to the Shareholders of ALTEO Nyrt.
Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of ALTEO Nyrt. and its subsidiaries (the Group”)
in the ALTEO_konszolidált_2021_EN
1
digital file for the year 2021 which comprise the consolidated
statement of financial position as at December 31, 2021 (which shows a total assets of HUF 60 760 748
thousands) and the related consolidated statement of recognized income, consolidated statement of
other comprehensive income (which shows a net profit for the year of HUF 10 764 080 thousands),
consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then
ended and consolidated notes to the financial statements including a summary of significant accounting
policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the
consolidated financial position of ALTEO Nyrt. and its subsidiaries as at December 31, 2021 and of
its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union (the
„EU IFRS”), and the consolidated financial statements were prepared in all material respects in
accordance with the provisions of the effective Hungarian Act C of 2000 on Accounting (hereinafter:
"the Accounting Act") relevant to the entities preparing consolidated financial statements in
accordance with EU IFRS.
Basis for the opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Hungarian National Standards on Auditing (“HNSA”) and with
applicable laws and regulations in Hungary. Our responsibilities under those standards are further
described in the “Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements”
section of our report.
We are independent of the Group in accordance with the applicable laws of Hungary, with the Hungarian
Chamber of Auditors’ Rules on ethics and professional conduct of auditors and on disciplinary process
and, as well as with respect to issues not covered by these Rules, with the International Code of Ethics
for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) issued by the International
Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (the IESBA Code) and we also comply with further ethical
requirements set out in these.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our opinion.

Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our
audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in
the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion
thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key Audit Matter
How our audit addressed the Key Audit
Matter
Revenue recognition
Refer to Notes IV.1. in the consolidated financial
statements
Revenue is an important measure used to
evaluate the performance of the Group. As a
consequence, it needs to be ensured that the
revenue in the consolidated financial
statements is real, accurate and refers to the
current year. Revenue from sales transactions
is recognized as of the performance date based
on the terms of the delivery contracts.
Our audit work supporting the revenue
recognition included the following substantive
audit procedures.
Existence and accuracy of sales revenue have
been tested on a sample basis and the items
selected have been reconciled to turnover
confirmation letters as well as source
documents (invoice, contract, certificate of
performance).
We have tested on a sample basis the accuracy
of prepaid or deferred income.
Also, we have tested the credit notes issued
after the above balance sheet date in order to
ensure that they did not refer to sales revenue
recognized in the financial year of 2021.
We have applied analytical review procedures as
well for analysing sales turnover.
We have checked the appropriate compliance
with relevant financial reporting standards,
accounting records and disclosures.

Other issues
Management is responsible for the presentation of the financial statements in a form complying with the
requirements prescribed in the Article 3 of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/815 (17
December 2018) (“ESEF Regulation”). Our audit has referred to the human-readable layer of the digital
file, identified electronically in our report, containing the financial statements. The scope of our audit
has not referred to the audit of, and thus we do not express an opinion on whether the digitalized
information has been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the requirements of the ESEF
Regulation.
Other information
Other information comprises the information included in the consolidated business report and in the
integrated report of the Group for 2021. Management is responsible for the other information and for
the preparation of the consolidated business report in accordance with the provisions of the Accounting
Act and other relevant regulations. Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements expressed in
the “Opinion” section of our independent auditor’s report does not cover the other information.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the
other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent
with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears
to be materially misstated. If based on our work performed we conclude that the other information is
materially misstated we are required to report this fact and the nature of the misstatement.
Furthermore, in accordance with the Accounting Act, our responsibilities regarding the consolidated
business report also include reviewing the consolidated business report to assess whether the
consolidated business report was prepared in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Accounting
Act and other regulations, if any, including the assessment whether the consolidated business report
complies with the requirements of Section 95/B. (2) e) and f) of the Accounting Act. Furthermore, in
accordance with the Accounting Act we shall make a statement whether the information referred to in
Section 95/B. (2) a)-d), g) and h) and Section 95/C (2) a)-e) has been provided in the consolidated
business report.
In our opinion, the consolidated business report and the integrated report of ALTEO Nyrt. and its
subsidiaries for 2021 corresponds to the consolidated financial statements of ALTEO Nyrt. and its
subsidiaries for 2021 and the relevant provisions of the Accounting Act in all material respects. The
information referred to in Section 95/B. (2) a)-d), g) and h) ) and Section 95/C (2) a)-e) of the Accounting
Act has been provided. As there is no other regulation prescribing further content requirements for the
Group’s consolidated business report, we do not express an opinion in this respect.
We are not aware of any other material inconsistency or material misstatement in the consolidated
business report and in the integrated report therefore we have nothing to report in this respect.

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the consolidated financial
statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial
statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European
Union, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation
of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s
ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and
using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or
to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process.
The auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 HNSAs 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 these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with HNSAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain
professional scepticism throughout the audit.
We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 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 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 in the
preparation of the consolidated 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 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 consolidated 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 Company to cease to
continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial
statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements
represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that gives a true and fair view.
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities
or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial
statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group
audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the
planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant
deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant
ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other
matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related
safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that
were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and
are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or
regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we
determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences
of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such
communication.

Council, we provide the following information in our independent auditor’s report, which is required in

II. GENERAL INFORMATION, SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND THE BASIS FOR THE
PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
II.1 Statement of IFRS compliance
The management declares that the consolidated financial statements for the year 2021 were
prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU,
based on the management's best knowledge, providing a true and reliable picture of the assets,
liabilities, financial situation of the Group as an issuer, as well as of its profit and loss. Furthermore,
the management declares that its consolidated financial statements for the year 2021 provide a true
and fair view of the situation, development and performance of the issuer, outlining main risks and
uncertainties. The management made this declaration in full awareness of its responsibility.
II.2 The activity of ALTEO Group
By today, the ALTEO Group, founded in 2008, has become an acknowledged comprehensive energy
service provider in Hungary. The shares of the Company, having entered the Budapest Stock
Exchange in 2010, have been listed on the Equities Prime Market of the BSE since 2018, but ALTEO is
a member of the Hungarian stock exchange through its corporate bonds as well.
The corporate group is an energetics service provider and trader concern that represents a modern
approach and is in Hungarian ownership. Its business activity covers energy production based on
renewable energy carriers and on natural gas, energy trading, as well as personalized energy
services, development projects and maintenance for corporate entities.
The company group considers spreading renewable resource-based electricity production in Hungary
a priority task. Accordingly, we are striving for the development of an energy portfolio which strikes a
careful balance between relying on renewable energy and small power plants burning hydrocarbons,
as well as combining them with cogeneration technologies to achieve even higher efficiency. We are
building a client-oriented, reliable and flexible energy trading business to provide assistance to small,
medium and large corporations in our clientele in energy management, therefore minimizing
environmental burdens and costs.
Our strategic goals are closely linked to our core values. When compiling our portfolio, our endeavor
was to become a decisive energy service provider on several fronts through the optimal application
of both wholesale and retail energy trading, decentralized energy production and efficient energy
management. This way we provide our customers and partners with high quality and innovative
services, and produce sufficient yields to our shareholders.
Global energy market trends have changed in recent years: decarbonization has become a priority,
decentralization in energy production continued; innovative technologies emerged in the energy
industry as a result of digitalization. ALTEO not only intends to become a competitive market actor,
but also wishes to take the lead in the transformation of the energy market.
Its 2021 results confirmed ALTEO’s strategy and the successful investments of the past period.
ALTEO's profitability was only moderately affected by the COVID epidemic compared to other more
ALTEO Nyrt. Consolidated Annual Report and Management Report for 2021 Data in HUF thousand
16 / 115
procyclical sectors due to the risk management measures taken by the company and the fact that the
negative impact of the epidemic was far outweighed by the excellent results achieved with other
activities.
The outstanding performance of the virtual power plant in charge of heat and electricity generation
has been positively impacted by the 18MW expansion of the power plant portfolio’s gas engine
capacity in 2020. In 2021 prices in the global market increased significantly, which also affected the
Group's profitability. The Retail segment closed with an outstanding, record profit, reflecting the
impact of rising global prices.
ALTEO also renewed key contracts with several important partners. On October 21, 2021, the
Kazincbarcika heat supply contract, a relevant heat sales element of ALTEO's energy production
business was renewed until September 30, 2031. On January 4, 2022, the operation and
maintenance contract with one of our key operating partners, BC Power Plant, owned by
BorsodChem Zrt., was renewed for another 15 years.
On December 7, 2021, the Group was awarded a grant of more than HUF 400 million for a new R&D
project that is a good example of ALTEO's innovation efforts. The aim of the project is to develop a
highly automated, AI based energy IT system that is capable of making autonomous production and
commercial decisions, and controlling and optimizing "smart" power plant electricity production.
In July 2021, Scope ratings reaffirmed the previous rating (BBB-) of Alteo's bonds, and on January 10,
2022, the bond package "ALTEO 2022/I" was repaid by the Group to the bondholders.
The above results, although partly a one-off event, are good feedback to ALTEO's management and
demonstrate that the strategy presented earlier and revised in early 2022 is working. Environmental
and social sustainability continues to have a crucial role in our strategy.

II.5.3 Decisions regarding presentation
1. Changes in comparative data
The previous IFRS consolidated financial statement of the Group was drawn up for the fiscal year of
2020. The consolidated financial statements contain one set of comparative data, except when the
figures for a period had to be restated or when the accounting policies had to be amended. In such
cases, the opening figures of the statement of financial position for the comparative period are also
presented.
In the event that an item needs to be reclassified for presentation purposes (e.g. due to a new line in
the financial statements), the figures for the previous year are adjusted by the Group so as to ensure
comparability.
The purpose of presenting the reclassifications in the detailed notes lines:
In the details of the report (Chapters IV and V), the classifications or designations of the comparative
period are the same as in the current period; as a result, there may be differences in the detailed
lines relative to prior disclosures due to the purpose of transparent presentation.
The purpose of presenting the reclassifications in the balance sheet lines
- power plant and power generating properties, plants and equipment and Other machinery,
plant and equipment are presented under the headings Property, plant and equipment
- Deposits and security deposits in the amount of HUF 98,820 thousand were reclassified from
Other receivables and accruals to Other financial assets

2. Determining the structure of the Group
(i) Subsidiaries
Starting from 2014, consolidation has been performed by the Group in accordance with the
provisions of IFRS 10. Before preparing financial statements for each period, the Group verifies
whether
it still has control over the entities which were previously in the Group;
it acquired control over any new entities.
If the existence of control is established, then that unit is consolidated regardless of its legal form
(full consolidation). Consolidation is to be performed using the acquisition method.
The Group’s ability to control means (after the effective date of IFRS 10) that it is able to direct the
subsidiary (has power over it), it has exposure, or rights, to variable returns, and is able to determine
the use of such variable returns. Rights existing as at December 31, 2021 that were exercisable at
that time or convertible to voting rights and provided substantial rights (i.e. actually provided control

and there were no limitations which could restrict the exercise of such rights) were considered by the
Group for the purpose of determining the extent of such control.
Control (power) is assessed based on the following factors which are usually indicators of control.
These factors shall be assessed in their entirety and conclusion shall be derived by examining the
factors together, not separately:
Any member of the Group or the Group collectively holds 50% of voting shares or initial
contributions plus one vote and there are no express agreements that would restrict the
Group when voting. Where a subsidiary entity which is not wholly owned possesses a share
in another entity, such share is considered in its entirety when determining the full extent of
the share (second-tier subsidiaries and below).
If any member of the Group exercises the right to appoint senior executives (senior
executives include managers, as well as members of the Board of Directors and the CEO).
If there is an agreement which provides conclusive evidence that the Group is able to make
significant decisions in respect of a given entity by itself.
If there is an entity whose assets or capacities are fully and consciously allocated by the
Group. Control is not deemed to exist if this situation arises but not as a result of the Group's
conscious decisions.
Control is not deemed to exist by the Group if the Parent Company has a share of over 50% in an
entity but operates the assets of that entity at the specific direction and on behalf of someone else,
or if the capacities of that entity are fully allocated by someone else. The net assets of such entities
are treated by the Group as if such assets were leased to someone else (IFRS 16), which means that
these entities are not consolidated.
The ability to control is not deemed by the Group to exist if such control is only on someone else’s
behalf in such a way that the controlling entity (apparent parent company) does not bear any risks in
connection with the controlled entity.
Entities which are insignificant and subsidiaries whose operations are different from the Group’s
scope of activities are not exempted from consolidation by the Group.
The reporting date of the subsidiaries’ financial statements was the same as the Parent Company’s
reporting date, and the accounting policies adopted by the subsidiaries were identical to the Parent
Company’s accounting policies. The accounting policies of the entities which have recently joined the
Group have been harmonized with the Group’s accounting policies and accounting policies have
been developed in connection with the newly introduced activities and accounting events.
(ii) Associates
Associates are presented by the Group using the so-called equity method. The compensation paid for
the share is recognized by the Group at initial recognition as the initial value. If the amount paid for
the share exceeds the fair value of the net assets, then this difference is treated by the acquirer as
ALTEO Nyrt. Consolidated Annual Report and Management Report for 2021 Data in HUF thousand
26 / 115
goodwill in such a way that this difference is not shown in a separate line in the statement of
financial position; instead, the amount will be the same as the value of the share. Any negative
difference is immediately credited by the Group to profit or loss as negative goodwill.
Subsequent to initial recognition, the part proportional to the comprehensive income for the current
year is recognized by the Group as an increase or decline in the value of the share. The effect of the
change is recognized by the Group in a separate line in the statement of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income (share of profit of associate) up to the part which is derived from net profit or
loss. Any change in the net assets of the associate against other comprehensive income is presented
by the Group in other comprehensive income, also in a separate line (share of other comprehensive
income of the associate).
Should the value of the share turn negative as a result of the year-end valuation, then a liability
arising from this position is recognized by the Group only if it is subject to a legal or constructive
obligation to meet its liability. If no such obligation exists, then the Group merely discloses the value
of unrecognized loss.
In the statement of financial position, balances with entities of the Group are not eliminated, but the
part of the profit recognized by associates that has an effect on the comprehensive income and is
attributable to the Group, need to be eliminated proportionally. Goodwill arising on the acquisition
of these investments will not be recognized separately, but will be included in the value of the share.
3. Definition of segments
The Group discloses operating segment information in the notes to the financial statements.
Operating segments are determined in accordance with the strategic expectations.
(i) Activity based segments
The activity of the ALTEO Group can be classified in the following main groups (segments):
Description of segment
Segment activity
Energy trading
Electric power and gas retail activities
“Subsidized”
electricity production (formerly
“KÁT”)
Electric power production of power plants producing for
the subsidized KÁT or METÁR system (utilizing renewable
energy).
Market-based
Heat and electricity generation
Market-based heat and electricity generation, including the
portfolio performance of the Virtual Power Plant.
Energy services
Operation, maintenance of energy generating assets and
construction-installation activity.
Other
Other non-segment activities and central administration.
ALTEO Nyrt. Consolidated Annual Report and Management Report for 2021 Data in HUF thousand
27 / 115
The principle of identifying segments is the formation of segment units by differences in risks and
business models.
These activities are monitored by the strategic and operational decision-makers. The content and
name of the single segments is continuously tracked by the management of the Group and is also
clarified by the management of the Group as necessary. Since the management does not review the
assignment of assets and resources to specific segments, the segment level breakdown of assets and
resources is not published.
(ii) Geographic segments
The activities of the Group are limited exclusively to Hungary, with the exception of ALTEO
Deutschland GmbH in charge of assessing the market in Germany; the management did not consider
the creation of regional segments for the territory of the country necessary.
II.5.4 Principles for performing consolidation
1. Treatment of business combinations
Business combinations include cases where the Group acquires control over a new entity and the
goal of the transaction is to acquire the business operations of the acquiree and not only its assets.
The acquisition of control is recorded as of the day after which any of the circumstances that result in
the entity being treated as a subsidiary apply.
The value of goodwill or negative goodwill is determined for the date of the business combination.
This value is the difference between the fair value of the assets transferred in return for the share
(the consideration) and the fair value of the share of net assets acquired. The consideration includes
previously held shares in the entity.
The consideration includes the following:
money paid or due;
the fair value of the stocks issued by the acquirer in relation to the combination (the fair
value is derived from the stock price at the date of issue);
the fair value of other assets transferred (reduced by any liabilities transferred);
the fair value of any contingent consideration, i.e. the part of the consideration which is
payable or refundable if certain future events occur (or do not occur).
If the actual amount transferred (returned) is different from the estimated value of the contingent
consideration, then such difference is recognized by the Group in profit or loss in the period in which
the value of the difference can be calculated.
Determining the acquired net assets
The assets and liabilities acquired as part of the business combination are measured at the fair value
as at the date of the combination. The principles for determining fair value are described in the
chapter on fair value. During valuation, assets and liabilities which are not included in the acquiree’s
ALTEO Nyrt. Consolidated Annual Report and Management Report for 2021 Data in HUF thousand

separate financial statements but need to be recognized under the standards are recorded in the
statement of financial position. In particular, this includes internally-generated intangible assets and
owned by the acquiree; in addition, any contingent liabilities of the acquiree as at the date of the
business combination are recognized (at fair value) as liabilities, regardless of the fact that these may
not be recognized as liabilities in separate financial statements under IAS 37.
2. Goodwill
The difference between the consideration paid for the acquired subsidiary (cost of control) and the
net assets acquired is recognized by the Group as an intangible asset which cannot be amortized,
provided that such difference is greater than zero. If the value of the goodwill is negative, the
procedure to be adopted is as follows:
an organization that is different from the one that performed the original calculation (or, if
none is available, a different person within the organization) recalculates the value of
goodwill (does calculations and reviews the valuation, focusing on the undervaluation of
liabilities and overvaluation of assets) and makes adjustments as required;
if the result of the calculation is still a negative value, then such difference is credited to
profit or loss in one lump sum as profit on a “bargain purchase” from the Group’s
perspective; such profit is attributable to the shareholders of the acquirer.
Measurement period
Determining the fair value of the assets acquired may take a long time. In accordance with the
provisions of IFRS 3, the value of net assets acquired as well as the resulting goodwill or negative
goodwill are finalized by the Group within one year from the date of acquisition (measurement
period). The value of net assets and goodwill (negative goodwill) is recognized by the Group in the
financial statements issued in the measurement period at a value that is based on its best estimate at
the time of issue; however, such estimate may change considerably during the measurement period.
In accordance with the rules under IFRS 3, these changes are treated by the Group not as corrections,
but as adjustments relating to the measurement period. No such change happened in the current
year. Note IV.32 contains further details on the acquisitions.
Impairment of goodwill
The Group recognizes goodwill when it participates in a business combination as a buyer and the
value of assets handed over in order to obtain control (including the value of liabilities accepted from
former owners) exceeds the fair value of its net assets concerning the purchased group. The Group
assigns it to the cash-generating unit (CGU) and tests it every year whether the goodwill became
impaired. In the course of the impairment test of the goodwill the recoverable amount of the CGU
must be compared to the carrying amount of the CGU. If the recoverable amount is smaller than the
carrying amount of the CGU then - if there are no clearly damaged assets - the goodwill must be
written off first. The goodwill must not be reversed later. The recoverable value of CGU is the greater
one of the value in use and the fair value less point-of-sale costs.

3. Treatment of non-controlling interests (NCI)
The net assets (assets and liabilities) of non-controlled interests are recognized by the Parent
Company in their entirety. However, only the part of consolidated equity which is held after the
acquisition and attributable to the Group is recognized by the Group as equity attributable to the
Parent Company.
The value of the net assets of the subsidiaries attributable to non-controlling interests is recognized
by the Group separately, in one line, as non-controlling interest. The non-controlling interest is part
of the equity not attributable to the owners of the parent company.
Non-controlling interests are recognized by the Group in proportion to net assets (at carrying
amount) at each reporting date and are not re-measured at fair value at the end of each reporting
period.
4. Changes in the structure of the Group (in respect of existing shares)
In the event that the Group sells a part of its share in a subsidiary, the following procedure must be
used:
if control is retained (the entity remains a subsidiary), then the difference between the
change in non-controlling interest and the selling price (compensation) is accounted for in
equity (no profit or loss is realized) and is recognized separately as a transaction with owners
in the statement of changes in equity;
if control is lost, then the difference between the value of the derecognized net assets and
the selling price (compensation) is recognized in the consolidated financial statements as
profit or loss. Any share that is retained is measured at fair value as at the date on which
control is lost and shown as associate or financial instruments.
If the Group acquires an additional share in an entity in which it already has a share, and
if control is not obtained even after the increase in its share, then the Group continues to
account for its share in the relevant entity as a financial instrument or associate;
if control is obtained as a result of the increase in share through the transaction in question,
then the Group applies the rules if IFRS 3 to this step, consolidates the assets and liabilities of
the relevant entity and recognizes goodwill or negative goodwill according to the provisions
of the standard;
if a share is increased in such a way that the entity associated with the share was already
controlled by the Group before the increase, then the Group reduces the amount of non-
controlling interests and the difference between this reduction and the compensation
received is recognized directly in equity as a transaction of owners; no profit or loss is
recognized with respect to these transactions and the value of goodwill (negative goodwill)
remains unchanged.

30 / 115
II.5.5 Transactions with owners
No profit or loss or other comprehensive income may be realized with respect to transactions with
shareholders of the Parent Company in which the other counterparty is the Group. This rule is
applicable to transactions where the parties involved in the transaction acted in their capacity as
members or determined the terms of the transaction with a view to their capacity as members.
Such items are accounted for directly in equity as dividend payment or additional capital contribution
(designated as a transaction with owners).
Besides the above the Group recognizes the difference between the value of the share recognized
among non-controlling interests and the value of the capital increase in the case of ownership share
obtained through contribution among the Transactions with owners.
II.5.6 Dividends
At its annual General Meeting, the Parent Company may decide on the payment of dividends.
Dividend is paid only on the Company’s registered, dematerialized ordinary “A” series shares with a
face value of HUF 12.5, recorded with the identifier HU0000155726ISIN excluding the treasury
shares held by the Group, as well as other shares that do not entitle their holders to dividends
pursuant to Section 3:298(3) of the Civil Code.
II.5.7 Accounting policies relating to the statement of profit or loss
1. Revenues
The Group accounted for its revenues in accordance with the rules of IFRS 15.
IFRS 15 established a unified model for revenues originating from contracts. With the help of the
unified five step model the standard determines when and in what amount do revenues have to be
recognized. This standard states explicit expectations for the situation when several elements are
transferred to the customer at the same time. IFRS 15 describes two methods for timing the
recognition of revenue: revenue accounted for at a given time and during a given period. The IFRS 15
standard also creates theoretical rules concerning what happens with the costs in connection with
acquiring and providing - not recognized elsewhere - the contract. The standard does not contain
revenue recognition rules for the financial instruments; those will be settled in IFRS 9.
According to the IFRS 15 standard, revenue elements shall be accounted for in accordance with the
termination of performance obligations. Performance obligations shall be considered as terminated
when an entity transfers the control over the goods or services to the buyer. Revenues must be
accounted for when the Company realized them - that is, if the Company contractually performed
towards its customers and the financial settlement of the claim (the realization of the economic
advantage in connection with the transaction by the company) is likely, and the amount of that and
the related costs can be adequately (reliably) measured.

31 / 115
Items collected on behalf of other entities and to be recharged later, and excluded from revenues
The Group does not recognize items collected on behalf of other entities to be recharged later as
part of revenue because the Group has no control over these items. The Group identified the
following as such items:
In connection with the customer contracts, the Group applied the 5-step model specified in the
standard. In most of the existing contracts, the date of performance is not different from the billing
period, therefore, the realization of the revenues is not different from the actual billing. Regarding
contracts where several elements are transferred to the buyer at the same time or as recognized
revenue for a period, the Group performs the realization of the revenue - the allocation to
contractual elements or periods - by taking into consideration the underlying economic content. The
following contracts or contractual elements are included in this category:
Name
Content of item
Value added tax
Value added tax within the meaning of Act CXXVII of 2007.
Energy tax
The tax within the meaning of Act LXXXVIII of 2003 on Energy Tax.
Excise duty
The tax within the meaning of Act LXVIII of 2016 on Excise Duty.
Electric power system
usage fees
Distribution fees within the meaning of Item c) of Section 142 (1) of
Act LXXXVI of 2007 on electricity:
the distributor’s base fee, the distributor’s performance fee, the
distributor’s traffic fee, the distributor’s reactive energy fee, the
distributor’s loss fee and the distributor’s schedule balancing fee.
Financial assets
Financial assets within the meaning of Article 147 of Act LXXXVI of
2007 on electricity:
the fee payable for the structural transformation of the coal
industry, the fee payable for supporting the discount price electric
power and the related production structure transformation fee.
HHSA fee
Based on the Resolution No. 2/2016. (XII. 16.) of the General
Meeting of the Hungarian Hydrocarbon Stockpiling Association a
membership contribution payable after mineral oil products and
natural gas, according to the provisions of Section 40(2) of Act XXIII
of 2013 on the safety stockpiling of imported mineral oil and oil
products and of Sections 8(1) and (2) of Act XXVI of 2006 on the
safety stockpiling of natural gas.
Products, services acquired
for third parties in agent
status and forwarded in
unchanged form
If forwarding a given procurement (service or product) is done in the
same form in unchanged amount by the Group and no practical risk
arises on the part of the Group in connection with this, then reselling
is done in an “agency structure” and the item is no part of the
revenue.
Usually, water rates invoiced forward under district heating service
can be such transactions.
ALTEO Nyrt. Consolidated Annual Report and Management Report for 2021 Data in HUF thousand
32 / 115
General construction-installation contracts: In the case of general construction-installation
contracts, revenues are accounted for depending on the stage of completion of the project in
question. The determination of the stage of completion shall be performed proportionately
to the ratio of any actually occurred costs to the total planned costs. If, in the case of the
project as a whole, a loss may be expected, that expected loss must be accounted for
immediately. All the estimates concerning the revenues accounted for must be prepared
considering all the information that is available at that moment. If the amount of the planned
(expected) profit changes in the course of a given project, then it involves the adjustment of
the revenues accounted for. If a given project is expected to generate loss, then accounting
for the loss in full becomes necessary in the earliest period when the related information
becomes available the first time. Estimates concerning the revenues accounted for must be
prepared considering all the information available at the time of publishing the report in
question.
The overhaul component of flat-rate operation and maintenance contracts (at present, this
is relevant only in the intra-Group contract cases): For the appropriate operation of certain
pieces of power plant equipment (e.g. gas turbines, gas engines etc.), overhaul repairs are
required at predetermined intervals. If an operation and maintenance contract concluded
with an external party contains such a periodical element, the proportion of the related
revenue must be separated and shall be realized against the respective costs.
TAKE-OR-PAY component in energy retail contracts: Certain energy trade contracts may
contain a provision determining that the consumer shall pay the contractual amount for the
allocated reserve even if it was not consumed. If it can be safely assumed that the Group is
entitled to such revenue and that revenue is realizable (enforceable), then that revenue must
be settled. In the case of the Group, according to market experience, no such realizable
revenue is available.
According to the opinion of the Group’s management, the revenues to be settled do not differ from
the invoiced amounts in the case of the following contracts:
Energy retail transactions: Invoicing (settlement invoice) takes place on the basis of actual
consumption.
Energy wholesale transactions: The settlement takes place according to the contractual
terms.
Energy regulation, energy production: The settlement takes place on the basis of actual
production.
Open-book accounting: The settlement takes place for a given period on the basis of cost
elements accepted by the parties.
The Group performs individual assessments and investigations of its buyers’ contracts, with the
exception of the retail business. Due to the individual character of the contracts, the portfolio
method is not applicable, either to the contract portfolio or any part thereof.
ALTEO Nyrt. Consolidated Annual Report and Management Report for 2021 Data in HUF thousand
33 / 115
Wherever a contract or a contractual element contains a significant financing element which is more
favorable than the market practice, with the deferral of payment exceeding one year, then that
financial component must be recognized separately. In such cases, only the present value of the
invoiced consideration can be accounted for as revenue.
If, in connection with a long-term contract, costs directly related to that contract incur where the
return is guaranteed by the contract for the full contractual period, these costs shall be recognized as
assets related to that contract and amortized over the term of the contract. Such elements may
include various legal, intermediation and contingency fees.
The Group presents any proceeds from leases strictly related to its core activities as revenues.
2. Expenses related to operation
In line with the presentation principles of the total cost method, non-finance expenses are to be
classified as follows:
material expenses;
personnel expenses;
depreciation and amortization.
If a specific transaction belongs to the scope of a specific IFRS, then its recognition takes place in
accordance with that standard
3. Changes in the inventory of assets produced by the Company
The Group develops industrial equipment and facilities, which are presented as assets produced by
the Company.
4. Changes in the inventory of stocks produced by the Company
Expenditure allocated to the production of industrial equipment and facilities developed by the
Group for third parties is presented as inventories until their delivery. From the perspective of heat
and electricity produced by the Group, storage does not apply.
5. Other revenues and expenses
Other income recognized by the Group includes the consideration for sales that cannot be classified
as revenue, as well as any income that cannot be considered finance income or an item increasing
other comprehensive income. Other expenses include those that are directly related to operations
and are not classified as financial expenses or do not reduce other comprehensive income. Other
income and other expenses are recognized by the Group in the statement of profit or loss as net
figures.
6. GHG emission allowance / revenue from sales of CO
2
quota
The Group is allowed to sell its EUA quotas (emission allowances) under certain conditions. The profit
on such sales is recognized as other income.
ALTEO Nyrt. Consolidated Annual Report and Management Report for 2021 Data in HUF thousand
34 / 115
7. Finance income and expenses
The Group accounted for its finance income and expenses in accordance with provisions of IFRS 9.
Dividend income and interest income not eliminated upon consolidation are recognized as finance
income. Interest income is accounted for in a pro-rated manner and dividend income may only be
recorded if a final decision on dividend payment has been made by the entity disbursing such
dividend. Interest expenses are calculated using the effective interest rate method and are classified
as financial expenses. Exchange differences on foreign currency items (if not a part of other
comprehensive income under IAS 21 - The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates) are
recognized by the Group in financial income. The Group shows financial income in its statement of
profit or loss and other comprehensive income on a net basis.
8. Income taxes
The following are recognized as income tax:
corporate tax (Act LXXXI of 1996 on Corporate Tax and Dividend Tax)
income tax on energy suppliers (Act LXVII of 2008 on Enhancing the Competitiveness of
District Heating Services)
local business tax (Act C of 1990 on Local Taxes)
innovation contribution (Act LXXVI of 2014 on Scientific Research, Development and
Innovation)
9. Offsetting
In addition to the requirements under IFRS, the impact of a transaction is recognized in the Group’s
financial statements on a net basis if the nature of the given transaction requires such recognition
and the item in question is not relevant to business operations (e.g. sale of a used asset outside
business operations).
10. Use of the EBITDA in the ALTEO Group
To facilitate the assessment of profit or loss, the Group management discloses the EBITDA figure with
the content defined by the Group. The method of EBITDA calculation is presented below:
EBITDA = Net profit or loss
+ finance income
+ Income taxes
+ depreciation and amortization
where
The Group modifies the net profit or loss with the following items:
Finance income: the Group adjusts the net income with all the items in the finance income (effective
interest, exchange rate differences, etc.) so the Group fully neutralizes the effect of the finance
income when calculating this indicator.
ALTEO Nyrt. Consolidated Annual Report and Management Report for 2021 Data in HUF thousand
35 / 115
Income taxes: income taxes in the net profit or loss (current and deferred taxes alike) are neutralized
by the Group when calculating the indicator.
Depreciation and amortization: the depreciation, amortization of assets belonging under IAS 16, IAS
40 and IAS 38 and assets recognized at the Group as assets and given to operating lease or
concession is eliminated when calculating the indicator (they are “given back”). The non-systematic
decrease of such assets (typically: impairment) is adjusted by the Group retroactively, similar to
depreciation and amortization. (We do not adjust the impairment of other assets, e.g. financial
instruments when calculating the indicator.)
11. EPS - earnings per share the shareholders are entitled to
When calculating earnings per share the “net profit or loss concerning the owners of the Parent
Company” are divided for the shares in circulation. When calculating the diluted EPS indicator all the
diluting factors (e.g. shares bought back, issued options, etc.) shall be considered.
II.5.8 Accounting policies relating to the statement of financial position and the
recognition and measurement of assets and liabilities
1. Property, plant and equipment
Only assets which are used in production or for administrative purposes and are used for at least one
year after commissioning are classified by the Group as property, plant and equipment (PPE). In
terms of their purpose, the Group makes a distinction between production and non-production
(other) assets.
The initial carrying amount of an asset comprises all items which are related to the purchase or
creation of the given asset, including borrowing costs (for details, see the accounting policy on
borrowing costs).
If an asset needs to be removed or demolished at the end of its useful life (or if the given asset is no
longer used, it is sold or abandoned), then the costs incurred to retire it (asset retirement obligation
or ARO) are added to the initial value of the asset and a provision is recognized in this respect, given
that the Group has at least a constructive obligation for the retirement. No provisions are made for
ARO is the estimated expense of deconstruction is not significant, that is, it remains under HUF
500,000. Assets that belong together must be reviewed as a group and if the decommissioning costs
of a group of assets that belong together is significant in total, then provisions must be made for ARO
concerning the group of assets.
The Group estimates the ARO using a percentage coefficient between 0% and 10%. The Group used a
discount rate of 8.57% for discounting in 2021.
The discounted liability is increased each year, taking into account the passing of time (unwinding of
the discount) and future changes in the estimation of unwinding costs. The increase in the liability
arising from the unwinding of the discount is accounted for as interest expense.
ALTEO Nyrt. Consolidated Annual Report and Management Report for 2021 Data in HUF thousand
36 / 115
The Group uses the component approach, which means that the parts of a physically uniform asset
which have different useful lives are treated separately, mainly in the case of production assets.
Fixed assets are measured subsequent to initial recognition using the cost model (initial value
reduced by accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses).
The depreciable amount is the initial cost reduced by the residual value. Residual value is determined
if its amount is significant. Residual value is equal to the income that can be realized after the asset is
decommissioned, reduced by the cost of disposal.
Depreciation is calculated on the basis of the depreciable value for each component.
The Group uses the hours of service for power plant equipment and the straight-line depreciation
method for all other assets. The following depreciation rates are used for assets:
Asset group
Extent of depreciation
Land
non-depreciable
Buildings
15%
Power plant equipment
1 20% / or proportionate to production
Non-production machinery
1433%
Office equipment
1450%
The Group reviews the useful life of each component and determines whether the asset can be
utilized during its remaining useful life and whether the residual value is realistic. If not, then the
depreciable amount and/or the residual value are adjusted for the future.
In the current year, the Group reviewed the depreciation method, in connection with the wind
turbines dropped from KÁT. As a result of this review, the depreciation expense and the useful life
parameters were adjusted to comply with the power plant’s operating license, instead of the
previous performance-based accounting. As the result of the review, HUF 322 million in
extraordinary depreciation was recognized.
The value of a fixed asset is increased by significant repair projects which involve substantial cost and
occur regularly but not every year. These projects are treated by the Group as a component of the
given asset and its useful life is aligned with the next (expected) occurrence of such projects.
Income from the sale of a fixed asset is recognized among other items, with the remaining carrying
amount of the asset deducted. Expenses arising upon the scrapping of fixed assets are also
recognized among other items. Only expenses are accounted for in this case and no income.
For the presentation of Fixed assets, see below IV.9 Fixed assets and intangible assets below.
2. Other intangible assets
ALTEO Nyrt. Consolidated Annual Report and Management Report for 2021 Data in HUF thousand
37 / 115
The Group determines whether any of its intangible assets have indefinite useful lives. Goodwill is
classified as an asset with an indefinite useful life; such items arise upon consolidation.
The Group is not engaged in any research activities. The Group performed development activities
concerning the production of other intangible assets that meet the recognition requirements of IAS
38 in the year 2017 the first time. In the opinion of the management of the Group, know-how that
can generate income may be realized as the result of the development activity. Costs incurred in the
course of the development project are recognized among intangible assets. If no asset could be
produced as the result of development that meets the relevant requirements of IAS 38, recognition
of impairment becomes necessary.
The initial value of intangible assets is determined using the method described in the case of fixed
assets.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized; instead, they are subject to
impairment testing in each period or when there is an indication of impairment (see impairment
losses).
For all other intangible assets, the existence of any contractual periods which restrict the use of such
rights must be considered. In such cases, the depreciation period may not be longer (though it may
be shorter) than this period. By default, the term of the contract is accepted as the useful life.
For software and other similar intangible assets, amortization rates of 20% to 33% are used.
Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets are uniformly measured using the cost model. The
residual value of intangible assets is considered zero, unless proven otherwise.
The Group has identified the acquired KÁT eligibility of the acquired KÁT permit holders as an asset
The Group amortizes KÁT permits in proportion to production until the expiry of the KÁT permit. The
KÁT permit gives the right to the Group to put the production of certain power plants to the state
(the state is obligated to buy at a guaranteed price). KÁT permits connected to projects developed
internally cannot be recognized with values.
3. Operation Contract Assets
Accounting for concession assets according to the IFRIC 12 standard: The Contracts for district heat
production, investment and long-term heat supply with the entity under service obligation as of the
inclusion in consolidation of the heating power plants of the Group in Kazincbarcika, Tiszaújváros,
Ózd, and Budapest Füredi utca are presented in accordance with the IFRIC 12 standard. At the time
of purchase, no value was allocated to concession assets in the course of allocating purchase price.
Accounting for revenues is performed based on the “Intangible assets model according to the
standard. The Group decided on recognition in view of the expiry of the Long-term Heat Supply
Contracts, which expiry is regularly verified at the time the statement of financial position is
prepared. If a contract is extended, that event increases the value of the investments made by the
ALTEO Nyrt. Consolidated Annual Report and Management Report for 2021 Data in HUF thousand
38 / 115
Group and of the concession agreement. Amortization of the concession contract is time
proportionate, in accordance with the duration of the contract.
4. Rights of use, leases (IFRS 16)
Leases are contractual arrangements where the owner of an asset transfers the right to use that
asset in return for a series of payments.
The IFRS 16 “Leases” standard entered into force on January 1, 2019. The Group applies the
recognition exceptions provided by IFRS 16 for short-term leases and low value assets (below USD
5,000). No right-of-use asset and associated liability are recognized for leases where the indefinite
duration and the related contractual termination conditions, or the absence of a fixed fee element,
do not permit such a determination.
The leasing component must be separated in the case of complex sales or supply contracts where
one of the contractual elements meets the standard’s conditions.
For the initial recognition of a lease, in the case of establishment of the value of the right of use and
the obligation, the existing comparative data of the ALTEO Group must be used when determining
the market interest rate. If such data are not available, the statistics published by the Central Bank of
Hungary shall be taken into account. The right-of-use asset is amortized taking into account the same
useful life as the lease term.
For contracts with a term of more than 12 months and high value, the initial cost of the right-of-use
asset is determined by the Group at the discounted present value of payments due for the remaining
lease term. For establishing the market interest rate the Company used the statistics published by
the Central Bank of Hungary.
Leases and agreements that qualify as leases
The Group records assets and asset groups for which it transfers the right to use such assets and
asset groups to other parties based on a contractual relationship and, at the same time, transfers
control over such assets or asset groups. The latter means that, for the given asset or asset group
the entire capacity is used by that other party;
essentially all of the outputs are obtained by that other party;
that other party has physical access;
and the Group is essentially unable to change this situation or any change would be
completely irrational from an economic perspective.
In such situations, in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 16 (formerly: IAS 17 and IFRIC 4), the
Group does not recognize the underlying asset as an own fixed asset, but instead the contract is
treated as a lease (despite the legal form) where the Group acts as a lessor in such cases.
ALTEO Nyrt. Consolidated Annual Report and Management Report for 2021 Data in HUF thousand
39 / 115
In cases where the given asset group is organized in a separate legal entity, the subsidiary is not
consolidated (i.e. individual assets and liabilities are not recognized); instead, the entire arrangement
is treated as a lease contract.
Where the Group acts as a lessor, it
recognizes the related receivable (which will first be the present value of future cash flows);
splits subsequent cash flows into principal repayment and return using the implicit interest
rate applied in the lease (the former reduces the asset, while the latter is recognized in profit
or loss);
and, if required, performs the foreign currency translation of the remaining asset according
to the rules of IAS 21.
The return on the lease is recognized by the Group as revenue (in accordance with its content).
Policy on borrowing costs
In accordance with the provisions of IAS 23, borrowing costs are capitalized by the entity if the
borrowing is attributable to a qualifying asset. For dedicated borrowings (those that are assigned to a
specific purpose), the amount to be capitalized is determined using the effective interest rate of the
borrowing. For general purpose borrowings, the capitalization rate is calculated manually. The
capitalization rate is the average of the effective interest rates of general purpose borrowings
weighted by the time elapsed since the date of payment or, if later, the time elapsed since the start
of capitalization and the amount of the payment.
An asset (project) is regarded as a qualifying asset (project) in the following cases:
if a construction contract is involved that is longer than six months;
if an asset is involved whose construction, preparation or transformation takes longer than
six months (regardless of whether the asset in question is created by the Group or third
parties).
The value of the given asset is irrelevant for the purpose of classification.
The capitalization of borrowing costs starts when an irrevocable commitment to acquire the asset or
implement the project exists or is probable. For assets, this is usually when the cost necessary to
build the asset is incurred; for projects, this occurs when the actual work begins or, if planning is also
done by the Group, the start of the preparation of the plan subject to the licensing process.
The capitalization of borrowing costs is suspended if work is interrupted for a period of time that is
longer than technologically reasonable.
The capitalization of borrowing costs is finished when the asset is ready or when the actual work on
the project is completed or, if earlier, the asset created in the course of the project is in use or its use
has been approved.
5. Accounting for government grants
ALTEO Nyrt. Consolidated Annual Report and Management Report for 2021 Data in HUF thousand
40 / 115
As a general rule, grants are recognized by the Group as income. Income is spread out over the
periods in which the asset is used. The part that cannot be credited to profit or loss is recognized in
liabilities as deferred income. Items to be credited to profit or loss are deducted from the related
expenses where possible.
If a grant is related to expenses, then such grant is principally accounted for by reducing expenses. If
this is not possible, it is recognized as other income.
Grants may be accounted for if
it is essentially certain that the Group will meet the requirements for the grant, and
it is certain that the Grant will be awarded to the Group.
In the event that a grant must be repaid subsequently, a liability is recorded when this becomes
known by increasing the value of the asset or the expense.
If any advance is paid against the government grant, it must be recognized among liabilities. In the
case of such a grant construct deferred income may only be recognized if the grant settlement is
done.
In accordance with the above principle, the Group recognizes assets received without consideration
as assets by recording deferred income (liability) against the asset (as a result, emission quotas
received from the government without consideration is recognized as assets at their fair value).
6. Assets held for sale and discontinuing operations
Non-current assets whose carrying amount will be recovered principally through an imminent sale
transaction rather than through continuing use are classified as assets held for sale. Assets held for
sale also include so-called disposal groups which comprise assets and closely related liabilities that
are expected to be disposed of subsequently as part of a transaction (e.g. a subsidiary to be sold).
This classification may be used if it is highly probable that the sale in question will be completed
within one year from the date of classification and the asset or disposal group is available for
immediate sale in its present condition, the activities necessary for the sale to take place are
underway and the asset or disposal group is being offered at a reasonable price.
Assets held for sale are separately presented by the Group in its statement of financial position and
their value is not included in either non-current or current assets. These assets are not depreciated
by the Group and are measured at the lower of their cost on the reporting date and fair value less
costs to sell. The resulting difference is recognized by the Group against profit or loss.
If an asset needs to be subsequently reclassified as a non-current asset due to the fact that the
conditions of classification are no longer met, then after the reclassification the asset is measured at
the lower of the value adjusted by the unrecognized depreciation and the recoverable amount. The
resulting difference is recognized in profit or loss.
ALTEO Nyrt. Consolidated Annual Report and Management Report for 2021 Data in HUF thousand
41 / 115
According to the provisions of the standard, the Group recognizes its discontinuing operations
separately, if they are significant. It does not qualify as a discontinuing operation if the legal form of a
given activity gets changed but the underlying economic content does not change significantly (e.g.
the amount of heat sold earlier as “district heating supplier licensee activity” is sold later as “district
heating producer licensee activity”).
7. Inventories
Inventories are stated in the financial statements at the lower of initial recognition cost and net
realizable value. Inventories are classified as inventories expected to be recovered within a year and
those expected to be recovered after more than one year. Fuels are assumed to be used up within
one year. The Group determines the closing value of inventories based on their average cost and the
value of inventories includes all costs which are required for the use of inventories in the intended
manner and at the intended location.
8. Emission allowances
GHG emission allowance
The emission units allocated based on the National Allocation Plan (EUA) are accounted for by the
Group as Current assets and assets held for sale. When determining the initial cost of emission units,
the price on the date on which the units are credited is taken into account. Emission units are
amortized on the basis of verified emission data at the time of use (charging the cost of revenues).
The Group records values maintained for satisfying the return obligation among short-term assets.
The values to be returned within one year and received without consideration are shown at cost by
the Company.
If the Company holds emission assets for trading purposes or for investment purposes, the Group
subjects them to an impairment test at the reporting date. Emission units are tested by the Group for
impairment at the end of each calendar year.
Emission allowances are traded on a regulated market. The Group does not participate in market
trading actively with its assets received without consideration; nevertheless, it obtains any additional
quota required from the market.
Rights related to the energy efficiency obligation scheme
According to the provisions of Act LVII of 2015 on Energy Efficiency (Energy Efficiency Act), starting
from 1 January 2021, electricity traders are required to introduce programs that result in energy
savings for end-users. The party subject to the obligation may fulfil its energy saving obligation either
through energy efficiency investments or energy efficiency improvement measures in its own sector
of activity or in another sector outside its own sector of activity, as well as through certified energy
ALTEO Nyrt. Consolidated Annual Report and Management Report for 2021 Data in HUF thousand
42 / 115
savings by other obligated parties, energy efficiency service providers that are not obligated parties
or other third parties.
The volume (GJ) of the energy saved by another obligor is recognized by the Group in Inventories at
cost.
9. Accounting for impairment losses other than financial instruments and
identifying CGUs
The Group tests its assets for impairment each year. Testing consists of two stages. The first stage is
to examine whether there are signs indicating that the assets in question are impaired. The following
may be signs that a given asset is impaired:
damage;
decline in income;
unfavorable changes in market conditions and a decline in demand;
increase in market interest rates.
Should there be any indication that an asset is impaired, a calculation that allows the recoverable
amount of the asset to be determined is performed (this is the second step). The recoverable
amount is the higher of the fair value of the asset reduced by the cost of disposal and the present
value of the cash flows derived from continuous use. In the absence of more precise estimations, the
cost of disposal is deemed to be 10%.
If the value in use of a group of assets cannot be determined as it does not generate any cash flows
itself (it is not in use), the test is performed with respect to the cash-generating units (CGUs).
If the value in use can only be determined with respect to the CGUs and impairment needs to be
accounted for, impairment losses are split as follows:
first, damaged assets are impaired;
second, goodwill is reduced;
third, the remaining amount of impairment losses are split among fixed assets (PPE) and
intangible assets in proportion to their carrying amount prior to impairment.
The value of assets may not drop below their fair value reduced by their individual cost of disposal.
The Group tests the value of goodwill generated in the course of earlier acquisitions on every
reporting date for impairment regardless of indications, as provided for in IAS 36. All the goodwill
created in the course of previous acquisitions was already impaired.
10. Provisions
Only existing liabilities which are based on past events and have uncertain value and timing may be
recognized as provisions. No provisions may be recognized for liabilities which are not linked to
present legal or constructive obligations.
ALTEO Nyrt. Consolidated Annual Report and Management Report for 2021 Data in HUF thousand
43 / 115
If the existence of a liability cannot be clearly identified, then a provision may only be recognized if
its existence is more likely than not (probable obligation). If the probability is lower than this, a
contingent liability is disclosed (possible obligation). Such items may not be shown in the statement
of financial position; instead, they are presented in the notes to the financial statements.
Provisions are shown as liabilities and are classified as non-current and current liabilities. If the time
value of money in respect of a provision is considered material (as it will be due much later), the
expected cash flows are discounted. The time value of money is considered material if cash flows are
still generated after 3 years or even later.
The following items are typically included in provisions:
compensation payable in relation to legal cases;
indemnification or compensation based on an agreement;
warranty liabilities;
asset decommissioning liabilities;
severance pay and costs arising due to restructuring;
CO
2
emission costs not covered by a quota.
If a decision needs to be made in respect of a specific obligation, then the value of the provision will
be the most likely unique outcome, while the effect of all remaining outcomes must be reasonably
taken into account. If the value of the provision needs to be estimated based on a set of data
(guarantees, payments concerning a large number of persons), then the fair value (probability-
weighted average) of the expected outcomes is used as the value of the provision.
If a contract has been signed by the Group where the costs arising from the contract exceed the
benefits derived therefrom, then a provision is recognized for the lower of the legal ramifications of a
failure to carry out the contract and the losses arising from executing the contract (onerous
contracts).
If there is such a CO
2
emission position at the end of the period that is not covered by a quota,
provisions must be recognized for the future liabilities. The amount of the provision needs to be
determined considering the market price of the emission unit at the end of the period.
A restructuring provision (e.g. for severance pay) may be recognized if there is a formal plan for the
restructuring which has been approved and communicated to those affected. Provisions may only be
recognized for costs associated with discontinued operations. But no provision can be recognized for
continuing operations (e.g. cost of retraining or relocation).
No provisions may be recognized for:
future operating losses;
“safety purposes” to cover unforeseeable losses;
ALTEO Nyrt. Consolidated Annual Report and Management Report for 2021 Data in HUF thousand
44 / 115
write-offs (e.g. for the write-down of receivables and inventories) - these reduce the value of
the relevant assets.
11. Employee benefits
The Group provides predominantly short-term employee benefits to its employees. These are
recognized by the Group in profit or loss after they have vested.
Employee bonuses and other items of similar nature are shown in the statement of financial position
if they result in liabilities, i.e.
if they are subject to a contractual condition and such condition has been fulfilled (e.g. a
given revenue level is reached); in such cases, the item is accounted for not in the period
when the Group established that the contractual condition was fulfilled, but in the period
when such condition was fulfilled (when the employees rendered the service entitling them
to the benefit).
if such an item is created as a result of a management decision instead of a contractual
condition, then the item may be recognized when the decision is communicated to the group
affected (constructive obligation).
The Group operates the prescribed contribution retirement benefit plan only as required by
legislation or undertaken voluntarily, and the contribution is calculated on the basis of salaries paid;
therefore, such contribution is accounted for at the same time as salaries.
The Group operates in a legal environment in which employees are entitled to paid leave. If for any
member of the Group there is a legal possibility or an agreement between the employer and
employees which provides that any unused leave may be carried forward to subsequent years, then a
liability is recognized against employee benefits with respect to such unused leave accrued by the
end of the year.
12. Financial instruments
Financial instruments are contracts which create financial assets for one party and financial liability
or equity instruments for the other party. Financial instruments include financial assets, financial
liabilities and equity instruments.
The IFRS 9 Financial instruments standard replaced the previous IAS 39 standard, with effect from
January 1, 2018. The Group had no financial instruments the classification or evaluation of which
would have changed, therefore the transition did not have a significant effect on the financial
statements.
13. Financial assets
ALTEO Nyrt. Consolidated Annual Report and Management Report for 2021 Data in HUF thousand
45 / 115
These include cash, equity instruments of another entity, contractual rights which entitle the Group
to future cash flows as well as those which entitle the Group to exchange financial instruments at
potentially favorable conditions. In accordance with its investment policy, the Group does not
purchase instruments acquired in order to earn short term profits.
Financial assets are classified by the Group as follows:
Debt
Equity instrument
Derivative
In the case of debt instruments:
Loans and receivables: this group includes financial assets with fixed (or at least determinable) cash
flows that are not quoted in an active market and are not classified into any of the remaining three
categories. The Group typically records the following items in this category:
Loans given
Trade receivables
Advances received
Other receivables
These assets are held by the Group not for trading purposes, and not for achieving short-term profits
based on these instruments. These assets are priced at fair value and the follow-up valuation is
performed based on amortized cost. The valuation of the assets is performed individually; at present,
the Group has no assets with massive multiplicity or assets with similar characteristics in the case of
which the portfolio method could be applied.
Equity instruments include the following items:
Shares in other companies
These assets are held by the Group not for trading purposes, and not for achieving short-term profits
based on these instruments. These assets are recognized at cost and the follow-up valuation is
performed at fair value against profit. The Group performs the necessary annual impairment tests,
using the approved business plans and long-term assumptions as a basis. The carrying amount of the
share is not substantially different from its fair value
Derivatives include:
derivative transactions. If the hedge accounting rules are met, they are recognized in Other
comprehensive income on the basis of fair value.
Financial liabilities must be classified into the following groups:
ALTEO Nyrt. Consolidated Annual Report and Management Report for 2021 Data in HUF thousand
46 / 115
Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss: derivatives and forward contracts
acquired for trading purposes are included by the Group in this category. The Group does not
typically engage in such transactions. If hedge accounting rules are applied, the valuation of interest
rate swaps and forward foreign exchange contracts is recognized in Other comprehensive income.
Other financial liabilities: All other financial liabilities are classified into this category. Typical items
include:
trade payables;
loan payables;
bond payables;
advances received from customers.
Issued instruments that represent an interest in the residual assets of the Group and no repayment
obligation is attached thereto are classified by the Group as equity instruments.
With regard to the financial asset and liability instruments, the Group classifies instruments as part of
the initial valuation. The Group measures its financial asset and liability instruments at amortized
cost. Transaction costs are capitalized by the Group.
In the case of a follow-up valuation based on amortized cost, the rules applicable to follow-up
valuation of financial instruments are:
(i) Items not resulting in interest expense or interest income
For initial measurement these items are measured at fair value. Fair value is the present value of the
expected future cash flows. Where the time value of money is material, the item is discounted. For
subsequent measurement purposes these items are measured at amortized cost.
The value of a receivable is reduced by write-offs if such receivable is not settled after 180 days from
its due date or there is any other indication at the reporting date which requires impairment to be
recognized. Receivables that have been overdue for more than one year may only be shown in the
financial statements with a value assigned to them if there is an agreement on deferred payment or
rescheduled payment and the debtor has provided collateral. This rule is not applicable to tax assets.
Collective assessment is used for calculation of impairment in case of large portfolios of individually
insignificant assets based on statistical data.
In the case of liabilities, rules concerning delay are, accordingly, not applicable. An item may not be
reclassified as a long-term liability merely because the Group has failed to meet its payment
obligation. Only an irrevocable contractual commitment may provide a basis for reclassification.
Items which are repayable on demand (those that have no fixed maturity) are classified as short-term
liabilities.
(ii) Items resulting in interest expense or interest income
ALTEO Nyrt. Consolidated Annual Report and Management Report for 2021 Data in HUF thousand
47 / 115
These items are measured at amortized initial recognition cost. The principles for calculating
amortized initial recognition cost are as follows: the Group determines the cash flows relating to the
given borrowing or receivable. In addition to principal and interest rate payments, these cash flows
also include all items directly associated with the given movement of cash (e.g. disbursement
commission, contracting fee, fee for the certification of the contract by a public notary, etc.) and the
interest rate (effective interest rate) at which the net present value of the cash flows will be zero, is
determined. The interest expense for the period is calculated using this effective interest rate.
Changes in interest rates for a floating rate instrument may be accounted for only with respect to the
future. If impairment needs to be recognized with respect to such an asset (receivable), the last
applicable interest rate is used by the Group as the effective interest rate.
The Group also issues bonds through public placement in order to fund its operations. Liabilities
resulting from the bonds are recognized using the effective interest method, i.e. the effective
interest rate is determined on the basis of all bond-related cash flows. For zero coupon bonds, the
difference between the issue price and the redemption price is regarded by the Group as interest.
The Group derecognizes financial assets when substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership
of the asset are permanently transferred to another entity or the asset is repaid or expired.
Financial liabilities are derecognized when they are discharged (e.g. settled) or when they no longer
need to be met for any other reason (e.g. expired or ended).
14. Expected impairment (ECL) model
IFRS 9 introduced the expected impairment model. The basis of determination is the expected
impairment, as opposed to the objective, incurred (already happened) impairment. The expected
impairment model brings the time of recognizing (occurrence) of impairments closer. The accepted
model includes the simplified method that allows it for the entity to apply rules other than the
complex ones in connection with certain financial assets (e.g.: trade receivables and similar
instruments).
The expected credit loss model (ECL) is applied in light of non-payment experienced. The extent of
the impairments relating to electricity is low in the retail business line, due to the receivable
management processes developed in the past years. The Group performed the segmentation of its
revenues and studied the recovery of billings on this basis.
In the current year the Company reviewed the rates to be used in the model and determined the ECL
based on publicly available databases. These items are presented in detail in Section IV.18.
15. Hedge accounting
The Group has adopted the hedge accounting provisions of IFRS 9.
(i) Hedge transactions
In the case of cash flow hedge transactions, in accordance with IFRS 9, the difference in fair value, as
of the reporting date, arising on hedge instruments satisfying hedging objectives is recognized in
ALTEO Nyrt. Consolidated Annual Report and Management Report for 2021 Data in HUF thousand
48 / 115
other comprehensive income, in the Equity hedge reserve line. The concerned part of the cash-flow
hedge reserve is recognized in the statement of profit or loss when the hedged cash flow (e.g.
interest) occurs or when the hedge fails to meet the hedging objective of the Group.
To qualify for hedge accounting, the relevant transaction must be formally designated and it must be
assessed whether the hedge is effective. Effectiveness exists only when and as long as the aggregate
effect of the hedge instrument and changes in the hedged item is within the range set by the Group.
16. Share-based payments
The Group motivates certain senior employees with share option benefits within the framework of
an ESOP organization. The internal value of the share options in question must be accounted for as
expense under the vesting period in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 2 against personnel
expenses.
Upon the management’s decision, the Group grants Shares to employees who have become entitled
to these on the basis of the Group’s recognition system. Such amounts granted as a reward are
recognized in profit or loss on the date when the reward can be exercised. The benefit is to be
distributed in the form of shares on a later date. The conversion of the amount of the benefit into
shares takes place on the date of the grant of the shares based on the market value of the shares.
17. Current income tax expense and deferred taxes
The actual income tax for the current year is calculated by the Group in accordance with the tax laws
that the given member is subject to and is recognized in current liabilities (or current receivables, as
the case may be). In addition, deferred taxes are also estimated for each entity and are shown in
long-term liabilities or non-current assets. Deferred taxes are calculated using the balance sheet
method. Deferred tax assets are recognized only if it is certain that the item in question will be
realized (reversed). Deferred taxes are determined using the tax rate effective at the expected date
of reversal.
II.5.9 General accounting policies relating to cash flows
The Group’s statement of cash flows is based on the indirect method for cash flows from operating
activities. Cash flows from investing activities and cash flows from financing activities are calculated
using the direct method. Overdrafts are regarded as cash equivalents until proven otherwise.
1. Foreign currencies
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies
The Group presents its consolidated financial statements in HUF. Each entity within the Group
determines its functional currency. The functional currency is the currency which reflects the
operation of the entity in question the most accurately.
The points to consider are as follows:
ALTEO Nyrt. Consolidated Annual Report and Management Report for 2021 Data in HUF thousand
49 / 115
which is the currency in which the majority of the entity's income is derived;
which is the currency in which the entity's costs are incurred;
which is the main financing currency.
The above considerations are listed in order of importance.
An entity may incur exchange differences on translation only with respect to a foreign currency.
Each of the Group’s entities classifies its assets and liabilities as monetary and non-monetary items.
Monetary items include those whose settlement or inflow involves the movement of cash, and also
include cash itself. Items relating to receivables or liabilities which do not involve the movement of
cash (e.g. advances given for services or inventories) do not qualify as monetary items.
At the reporting date, monetary items denominated in foreign currency are revalued to the spot rate
effective at the reporting date. For the purpose of translation, all entities use the exchange rate for
the reporting date published by the Central Bank of Hungary.

III. CRITICAL ESTIMATES USED IN PREPARING THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND OTHER SOURCES
OF UNCERTAINTY
III.1 Critical accounting assumptions and estimates
Changes in accounting estimates is done by assessing the modification of the carrying amount of an
asset or liability or the amount of the periodical use of the asset, performed based on the evaluation
of the present situation of the assets and liabilities and the related expected future profits and
commitments. Changes in accounting estimates are caused by new information or new
developments, so, accordingly, these do not qualify as corrections. The changes in accounting
estimates affect the report in the course of the preparation of which the future estimate was made
(with no retroactive effect).
The Group generally measures its assets on a historical cost basis, except for cases where a given
item should be measured at fair value under the IFRSs. In the financial statements the trading
financial instruments, the derivatives and in certain situations the assets held for sale had to be
evaluated at fair value.
In preparing its financial statements, the Group made critical estimates in connection with the
following topics which, as a result, are sources of uncertainty.
Estimates concerning the depreciation of the fixed assets (e.g.: useful life)
The useful lives and residual values of fixed assets and the related decommissioning liability can be
determined using estimates. Due to the high value of fixed assets, even slight changes in such
estimates can have a considerable effect. The fair value of assets acquired in the course of business
combinations is determined on a discounted cash flow basis, which requires several complex
assumptions. Subsequent changes in estimated amounts can have a direct impact on profit or loss.
Permits disclosed in relation to an earlier business combination (KÁT) represent a significant asset
value. This permit makes it possible for the Group to sell certain previously produced energy to the
state. Although reception is guaranteed; however, the related prices may change and also the
extension of this permit and the requirements depend on factors outside the Group’s control. The
permits were evaluated based on the presently available data, but the evaluation can change due to
the above uncertainties.
The management of the Group uses estimates when preparing the financial statements. The
estimates are always based on the best information available at that time.
The following significant items are determined using estimates.
Allocating the purchase price to assets in the case of acquisitions. The estimate concerning the
distribution of the purchase price may change during the year of the measurement period if any new
information arises.
ALTEO Nyrt. Consolidated Annual Report and Management Report for 2021 Data in HUF thousand
51 / 115
The useful life of Power Plant equipment was determined considering the present market and
regulatory environment. Possible negative changes in these factors may lead to impairment.
The present market and regulatory environment was also considered when determining the
provision for the asset retirement obligation.
Revenues and profit or loss recognized in connection with the construction-installation projects were
determined based on the present circumstances.
The recovery of deferred tax assets recognized was accounted for based on the present
market environment and tax legal regulations. Changes in any of these factors may modify
actual recovery.
Estimates concerning the creation of provisions (e.g.: methodology of calculation, indicators
for determining provisions)
Estimates concerning the evaluation of inventories and receivables The management’s
judgement in calculating the impairment of trade receivables is a critical decision which
directly impacts profit or loss.
Estimates concerning fair value
In the case of an obligation arising from a conditional purchase price, the management estimates
applied influence the size of the obligation.
Tax assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position Deferred tax assets were recorded due
to considerable deferred losses and are expected to be recovered according to the Group’s plans;
however, changes in the legal environment may result in a significant change in the value of such
assets.
Changes or observations giving rise to the review of accounting estimates:
Changes in legal regulations,
Changes in the economic environment,
Changes in the operation or procedures of the companies.
The interest rate used for discounting could not be determined using actual market data;
consequently, alternative methods had to be employed.
Many of the Group’s assets can be tested for impairment at CGU level. Identifying CGUs requires
complex professional judgement. In addition, when determining the recoverable value of CGUs, the
Group’s management is forced to rely on forecasts for the future which are uncertain by nature. The
estimation of the recoverable value involves significant amounts even at the level of the financial
statements.
The Group’s profit or loss is heavily dependent on the global market price of energy carriers and
indirectly on the exchange rates of the USD and the Euro in which the price of such commodities is
ALTEO Nyrt. Consolidated Annual Report and Management Report for 2021 Data in HUF thousand
52 / 115
denominated. The natural gas purchases of power plants are denominated in a currency other than
the functional currency. The Group enters into forward contracts in order to hedge foreign exchange
exposures. Similarly, the Group enters into hedge transactions to protect itself from changes in the
price of energy carriers themselves.
For the electricity trade division, purchases are also made predominantly in EUR, while sales
contracts are denominated mostly in HUF. The Group enters into hedging transactions and, where
possible, uses foreign-currency-indexed customer price formulas in order to manage foreign
exchange exposure.
Power plant units of the ALTEO Group:
heating power plants (ALTEO-Therm Kft.),
wind turbines (WINDEO Kft., e-Wind Kft., EGE Kft. Pannon Szélerőmű Kft.),
hydropower plants (Sinergy Kft.)
solar power plants (Domaszék 2MW Naperőmű Kft., Monsolar Kft. Sunteo Kft.)
The energy production of power plants relying on renewable energy sources depends on the
weather, therefore, changes in certain elements of the weather (sunshine, wind force, temperature,
water yield) can also have a significant impact on the efficiency of the units in question.
Certain entities in the Group are involved in the district heating production business.
Much of the capacities of certain power plants of the Group are devoted to one or two clients. Power
plants where the Group has not signed long-term supply contracts with clients are exposed to the
risk of clients being lost.
The Group’s operation and profitability depends on the government regulation of the market,
especially on the taxation policy adopted by the state.
The Group presents in detail the risks relating to its operation in Notes No III.3 and III.4.

III.3 Risk matrix
The management of the Group considered and assessed the specific risk factors associated with the
ALTEO Group and the securities issued by the Company as well as the potential risks involved in
making an informed investment decision, based on the probability of the occurrence of such risks
and the anticipated extent of their negative impact. These Financial Statements only contain the risk
factors that were assessed as material by the Company. The Company provides the results of the
materiality analysis using a qualitative scale, indicating a “low”, “medium” or “high” risk level next to
each risk factor. The risk factors have been ordered within their respective categories based on their
materiality.
Risk categories:

A. Macroeconomic and legal system related risk factors
1. Risks stemming from the legal system
The legal system can be considered relatively underdeveloped in Hungarywhere the ALTEO Group
currently pursues its activities—and in the Company’s various strategic target countries. According to
conventional wisdom throughout these countries, legal regulations change quite frequently,
authority and court decisions are, on occasion, contradictory or inconsistent or difficult to construe.
These circumstances can make it difficult for the Company to perform its tasks in a manner fully
compliant with legal regulations, and this can expose the company to arbitration, litigious, non-
litigious and other risks of legal nature that affect its profitability.
2. Macroeconomic factors
The ALTEO Group’s operations and profitability stands exposed to macroeconomic developments in
Hungary and the countries of the European Union, particularly to how economic growth and
industrial production, as well as the financial position of general government shapes up. Certain
negative developments in the macroeconomic environment may have adverse effects on the
profitability of specific the ALTEO Group activities.
3. Taxation
The current taxation, contributions and duties payment regulations applicable to the ALTEO Group
are subject to change in the future, meaning that it is particularly impossible to rule out potential
increases in the rate of the special tax imposed on energy generators and energy traders, moreover
that new taxes with adverse effects on enterprises active in the electricity sector could be imposed,
any of which would, in turn, increase the ALTEO Group’s tax liability. Applicable tax regulations are
open to frequent and major changes, even with retroactive effect, and that could impact the ALTEO
Group’s sales revenue and profitability alike.
4. Risks related to the United Kingdom leaving the European Union (Brexit)
The risk is not considered relevant to the Company's operations. Further description and further
monitoring of the risk has been discontinued.
B. Risks specific to the market and the industry
5. Energy market regulation
The operation and profitability of the ALTEO Group greatly depend on the energy market regulations
in Hungary and in the European Union, as well as on the application of such regulations, including in
particular legislation, authority and court practice, Hungarian and international processes, trade and
operational regulations, as well as other applicable regulations relating to electricity generation,
electricity trade, the market of ancillary services in the electricity industry, the utilization of
renewable energy sources, energy and heat produced in cogeneration power plants, district heat
generation and district heating services, natural gas trade, as well as allowance allocation and trade.
ALTEO Nyrt. Consolidated Annual Report and Management Report for 2021 Data in HUF thousand
57 / 115
In 2018, the European Union adopted new energy-related legal regulations under the title “Clean
Energy For All Europeans”.
Changes in these regulations and the transposition of the EU regulatory framework may have a
significant impact on the operation, profitability, market position and competitiveness of the ALTEO
Group.
6. Regulated prices
The various affiliates of the ALTEO Group engage in activity whose price is determined or capped
through legislation or regulation by some authority (including in particular the HEPURA, ministries
and municipal governments). These prices, set out in legal regulations or set by an authority,
furthermore, any modifications in the material scope of official price regulation may have a
significant impact on the profitability and competitiveness of the Company, as well as its various
Subsidiaries.
7. Electricity balancing reserve capacity system risks
In addition to the development of the price margin between electricity and heat energy, the financial
position of gas-fired power plants is significantly influenced by the pricing and accessibility of the
electricity markets for balancing reserve capacity and energy. If, for any reason, access to these
markets becomes limited with respect to production units within the sphere of business interests of
the ALTEO Group, including a drop in service volumes attributable to a substantial fall in market
prices, this may have an adverse impact on the business activity and profitability of the ALTEO Group.
Considering that the ALTEO Group is present on the balancing energy market(s) as a service provider
as well as a buyer of services, price changes in such market(s) may have a significant effect on the
capacity of the Company to generate finance income.
8. Government grants
ALTEO Group’s operation and profitability could depend on the amount of state subsidies applicable
to the utilization of renewable energy sources and cogenerated energy in Hungary and the countries
of the European Union, as well as those for investment projects and operation, moreover on any
future changes in government grants.
The Commission Guidelines on State Aid for Environmental Protection and Energy set up a new
framework of EU requirements to be met by any government grant provided to the energy sector
and to be applied in Hungary too. Furthermore, in December 2018, the EU adopted the RED2
Directive and Member States, including Hungary, had to transpose it by June 30, 2021.
In recent years, the ‘KÁT’ (i.e. mandatory electricity off-take) system has undergone changes that
also affected the operating model. METÁR’ (i.e. the support system for renewables), which
embodies a comprehensive recast of the KÁT regime, became effective on 1 January 2017 (some of
its elements on 21 October 2017). Changes in state subsidy regimes, and especially in the KÁT and
ALTEO Nyrt. Consolidated Annual Report and Management Report for 2021 Data in HUF thousand
58 / 115
METÁR regulations, or a possible cancellation of applicable grants may have a significant impact on
the operation, profitability, market position and competitiveness of the Company. Hungarian legal
regulations aimed at transposing the RED2 Directive have not yet been created, furthermore, no
tender subject to the METÁR system has yet been announced, so whatever potential impact those
might have on the Company’s sales revenue and profitability is as yet unknown.
9. CO
2
emission market, CO
2
quota allocation system and CO
2
quota prices
The fourth EU ETS trading period (20212030) began on 1 January 2021. During this period, in
addition to emission allowances received free of charge, emitters can acquire emission allowances
solely at auctions or through secondary commercial channels. In the period between 2021 and 2030,
specific power plants in the ALTEO Group are going to be allocated, free of charge, an emission unit
allowance that will decrease every year, based on the National Implementing Measure published by
the Ministry for Innovation and Technology and approved by the European Commission. A significant
change compared to the third trading period is that in trading period IV, the free allocation available
for a given year is largely determined by the level of activity of installations to be certified each year,
as well as its changes. In the event of a 15% change in the activity level compared to the base period,
the predetermined quota levels will need to be adjusted and approved by the European Commission.
This is to ensure that the allocation better reflects the real activity of the facilities. Changes in the
legal environmental and allocation system rules to achieve the climate policy targets, and the
increase in price of the emission allowances can have a considerable impact on the operating costs
and economic results of the ALTEO Group.
10. Changes in technology
Technological innovations can significantly improve the efficiency of the energy industry, especially in
the area of renewable energy production. Technological development can not only reshape the
technologies the ALTEO Group uses, but, in certain cases, might even completely eliminate their use.
If the ALTEO Group has no appropriate experience with or cannot access (on account of patent
protection or due to other grounds) solutions and technologies that become prominent, this may
lead to a loss of the ALTEO Group’s market share and a decrease in its revenues and profitability.
There is no way to guarantee that the ALTEO Group will always be in a position to choose and
procure, then operatein a most profitable waythe most efficient technology.
11. Competitive situation
There are multiple companies both in Europe and Hungary that have significant positions and
experience, as well as advanced technologies, major capacities and financial strengthamong them
state or municipal government owned and controlled onesthat compete on the ALTEO Group’s
various markets or may start competing with the ALTEO Group in the future. Should it become more
intensive in the future, competition may necessitate unforeseen improvements and investments,
furthermore, might also have a negative effect on the price of the ALTEO Group’s services or increase
ALTEO Nyrt. Consolidated Annual Report and Management Report for 2021 Data in HUF thousand
59 / 115
the Group’s costs, which may have an adverse effect on the ALTEO Group’s bottom line, as measured
on a consolidated basis. The ALTEO Group has demonstrated to possess substantial professional
experience and background in the preparation and implementation of energy investments and in the
operation of such facilities.
12. Funding risk
Preparing for and implementing investments and developments in the energy segment are capital-
intensive processes requiring substantial funding. Changes in certain factors (including the general
economic environment, credit markets, bank interest rates and foreign exchange [FX] rates) may
increase the costs of funding, make the accessing and repayment of funding more difficult, and cause
delays in the same or even render it outright impossible, and this is understood to also include
financing schemes already established on the date of these Financial Statements.
A large part of the ALTEO Group’s bank loans come with variable interest rates and are linked to
reference interest rates, such as BUBOR or EURIBOR. An unfavorable change in the interest rates
could have an adverse effect on the profitability of the ALTEO Group. The ALTEO Group enters into
interest rate swap (IRS) transactions to mitigate its interest rate exposure. Such transactions are
concluded after due consideration of the respective economic environment, and facility-related
terms and conditions. These transactions allow for reducing risk, however, the ALTEO Group is not
able to completely eliminate negative risks stemming from variable interest rates.
ALTEO’s current indebtedness in bonds fully comprises HUF-denominated, zero-coupon or fixed
annual interest-bearing bonds.
13. Foreign exchange rate changes
The part of ALTEO Group’s sales revenue generated in HUF and, on the expenditure side, not covered
with FX-revenue, to be settled in FX or subject to foreign exchange rates, the Group may incur gain or
loss, due to the changes in HUF and FX prices, To manage foreign exchange exposures, the Group
operates a forecasting system using foreign exchange cash flow modelling, on the basis of which it
manages the assessed and evaluated risks by means of market transactions.
14. Impact of international market developments on domestic trade
Market prices seen on foreign commodity exchanges have a major influence on energy prices in
Hungary, even though those prices move, to a significant degree, on the basis of economic processes,
as well as supply/demand conditions outside Hungary. New developments in economic processes
and changes in supply-demand relations may have a negative effect on ALTEO Group’s profitability
under certain circumstances.
15. Risk of changing natural gas, electricity and heat energy price margins
Any changes in the difference between (margin on) the (procurement) price of natural gas and the
price of electricity and/or heat that is sold influence the financial position of natural gas-fired power
ALTEO Nyrt. Consolidated Annual Report and Management Report for 2021 Data in HUF thousand
60 / 115
plants significantly. Were this margin to drop significantly, it could have a negative effect on the
business and profitability of the ALTEO Group.
16. Environmental legislation
Any unfavorable changes in the environmental legislation applicable to the ALTEO Group may
generate surplus costs or additional investment requirements for the ALTEO Group.
17. Risks related to the spread of COVID-19
To the best of its knowledge, ALTEO Group does not have any direct customers or suppliers for its
revenue-generating activities or services who are domiciled in countries that are under quarantine
due to the COVID-19 virus as of the date of publication of this Management Report. However, COVID-
19 may affect those markets where ALTEO Group is also active, and so it may have an indirect impact
on ALTEO Group’s operations and profitability. The management of ALTEO Group is not in a position
to assess the risks from the potential outcomes of COVID-19 in the entire supply chain or the risks
indirectly affecting the Company.
The direct personnel of ALTEO Group and the workforce of its subcontractors and suppliers involved
in each ongoing project may be affected by the spread of the COVID-19 virus and the measures taken
or to be taken during the same. Illnesses can have a negative impact on ALTEO Group’s work
processes, the timing of ongoing projects and may also have detrimental effects on the labor market.
The state of danger imposed in Hungary may have a negative impact on the profitability and liquidity
on the clients and consumers of ALTEO Group and may also result in the decline of their demand for
energy and willingness to invest, which may have a detrimental effect also on ALTEO Group’s profit.
ALTEO Group’s management has taken the necessary measures to address the risks related to the
protection of its employees’ health and has set up a Pandemic Executive Board and adopted a
Pandemic Plan. ALTEO Group’s management continuously monitors events related to the COVID-19
virus and, if necessary, takes the necessary steps based on these.
C. Risks specific to the ALTEO Group
18. Risks arising from operating the Virtual Power Plant
The income generating capacity of the ALTEO Virtual Power Plant and related production units within
the sphere of business interests of the ALTEO Group is highly dependent on the availability and
pricing of balancing reserve capacity and energy markets in the electricity system. If, for any reason,
access to these markets becomes limited with respect to the Virtual Power Plant, including a drop in
service volume attributable to a substantial fall in market prices, this may have a highly adverse
impact on the business activity and profitability of the ALTEO Group.
19. Political risks
ALTEO Nyrt. Consolidated Annual Report and Management Report for 2021 Data in HUF thousand
61 / 115
The ALTEO Group provides some of its services to institutions which are owned by municipalities or
are under the influence of municipalities or certain statutory corporations. Furthermore, the
agreements made with such institutions have a major effect on the operation of certain members
and projects of the ALTEO Group. The considerations governing the motivation of bodies having
influence over such institutions may differ from the considerations of a rational, profit-oriented
market player, which is a risk in terms of contract performance. Such risks arise primarily relating to
the district heating generation activities of Alteo Therm at its sites in Sopron, Kazincbarcika,
Tiszaújváros and Zugló.
The occurrence of events that may be classified as political risks may have an adverse impact on the
exposed Subsidiaries of the ALTEO Group and, overall, the profitability of the ALTEO Group.
20. Dependence on weather
Part of the ALTEO Group’s energy production capacities (e.g. wind turbines, solar power plants,
hydropower plants) and the energy demand of certain buyers (e.g. heat demands) depend on the
weather, therefore, changes in weather may significantly affect the profitability of the ALTEO Group.
In the case of weather-dependent energy production, no major change can be expected in the
average annual output, but within a year and between years, differences may occur. In the case of a
weather-dependent change in energy demand, even longer-term trends of changes may develop
(such as milder winters).
In the case of weather-dependent energy production, the Company relies on meteorological
forecasts to estimate (schedule) the quantity of electricity that can potentially be generated. If the
weather is not as predicted, there will be changes in the amount of electricity produced as compared
to the plans (Day-Ahead or Intra-Day schedules), which may cause a significant loss for the ALTEO
Group. See also Electricity balancing reserve capacity system risks.
The weather affects the ability to perform heat supply contracts that have no heat volume
commitment, given the heat purchase obligations. The actual weather, as compared to the
forecasted trend, has an effect on the profitability of the Group. The actual value of heat transfer
may in reality be different from the planned level; as a consequence, the fair value of the hedging
transactions obtained in accordance with the hedging policy of the Group in respect of such products
may need to be reclassified into profit or loss.
The Company’s strategy is to keep on developing weather-dependent, renewable energy production
projects, and that might increase the dependence on weather in the future.
21. Risks of growth
The ALTEO Group is in the phase of business growth, coupled with the growth of employee staffing,
the number and value of the facilities and tools. The ALTEO Group is planning to expand further both
in terms of business activities and geographical areas. There is no guarantee that the Company
ALTEO Nyrt. Consolidated Annual Report and Management Report for 2021 Data in HUF thousand
62 / 115
strategy will be successful and the Company will be able to manage this growth efficiently and
successfully.
With contributions from its Subsidiaries, in accordance with the present Financial Statements, the
Company is currently preparing for the implementation of several projects. In addition to the
Company’s intention, these project implementations depend on a number of other external factors.
It cannot be guaranteed that these projects will be actually implemented, or will be implemented in
accordance with the present Financial Statements; furthermore, the implementation of other future
projects may precede or substitute projects known on the date of the present Financial Statements.
Any of the potential risk events associated with growth may result in stagnation of the Company’s
growth or even operation at a loss.
22. Risks stemming from acquisitions, buying out projects and companies
The ALTEO Group wishes to implement its business plans partially via acquisition of already existing
energy projects and/or buying out companies. Although acquisition targets always undergo detailed
screening before the transaction, we cannot exclude the possibility of such financial, legal or
technical events occurring in relation to an acquired project or company that may have an adverse
effect on the business and profitability of the ALTEO Group.
Any of the potential risk events associated with the acquisition strategy may result in stagnation of
the Company’s growth or even operation at a loss.
23. Risks related to power plant project development and green-field
investment
In ALTEO Group’s business plans, licensing and implementation of green-field energy investments
plays an important role. Although the ALTEO Group draws up careful technical, legal and profitability
plans when preparing for project implementation, there is always a possibility that the authorization
of specific projects becomes unreasonably long or impossible. During implementation phases, the
ALTEO Group strives to contract main and subcontractors that offer appropriate guarantees and
references, but even so, the possibility of disputes arising between the parties cannot be excluded in
these phases.
Any of the potential risk events associated with green-field investments or development projects in
power plants may result in stagnation of the ALTEO Group’s growth or even operation at a loss.
24. Large-scale, customized projects
In line with the characteristics of the industry, a significant share of ALTEO Group’s revenues comes
from large-scale, customized projects. Consequently, completing or not implementing just a few
projects may already make a big difference in terms of the Company’s future revenues and
profitability. These large-scale projects are frequently long-term (may take even several years),
require a long-term allocation of significant resources and are, in several cases, implemented using
ALTEO Nyrt. Consolidated Annual Report and Management Report for 2021 Data in HUF thousand
63 / 115
subcontractors. An eventual failure of or loss on such large-scale investments may have a significant
negative impact on ALTEO Group’s profitability.
25. Energy trade risks
Changes in the demand on electricity and natural gas markets may have a profound influence on the
revenues, profitability and strategic expansion plans of the ALTEO Group.
During ALTEO Group’s energy trading activities, portfolio planning is done on the basis of data service
from consumers and the Group’s calculations. A planning mistake or incorrect data service may lead
to inappropriate procurement strategy, where a subsequent correction can cause losses or gains to
the ALTEO Group.
The Company covers 100% of the annual consumer demand, but due to natural seasonality, open
positions remain, which are mainly closed on the spot market. Prices on the spot markets cannot be
planned in advance, any change in them may have unfavorable/favorable effect on the profitability
of the ALTEO Group.
Natural gas and electricity volumes are mainly contracted through low-risk wholesale partners and,
to a lesser extent, through exchanges. Trading is continuous, and therefore the prices of products
change on a daily basis, given that the trading in exchange-traded products is continuous. Day-by-day
price movements, sometimes with significant changes, may represent a risk in the case of longer-
term consumer proposals. Even though the ALTEO Group performs its trading activities on the basis
of a risk management procedure adopted by the Board of Directors; an eventual mistaken
transaction may have a significant negative effect on the profitability of the ALTEO Group.
26. Operating risks
The economic performance of the ALTEO Group depends on the proper operation of its projects,
which may be influenced by several factors, such as:
costs of general and unexpected maintenance or renewals;
unplanned outage or shutdown due to malfunction of the equipment;
natural disasters (fire, flood, earthquake, storm and other natural disasters);
change in operative parameters;
change in operating costs;
eventual errors during operations; and
dependence on third-party operators.
The energy generating companies of the ALTEO Group have in place “all risk” type property insurance
policies for machinery breakdown and outage, as well certain natural disasters. These provide cover
for damages traceable to such causes and also apply to liability insurance policies as well, where a
cover is provided for third-party damage caused by energy generating activities. However, it is not
excluded that a loss event is partially or entirely outside the scope of the risk assumed by the insurer,
ALTEO Nyrt. Consolidated Annual Report and Management Report for 2021 Data in HUF thousand
64 / 115
and so, the insuranteither as the injured party or the responsible partymay be obliged to bear
the damage.
The occurrence of any operational risks may have a highly adverse impact on the perception and
profitability of the ALTEO Group.
27. Fuel risks
The price of strategic fuels used by the ALTEO Group is in line with the market processes. The
possibility that the price of the fuels procured by the ALTEO Group will increase in the future cannot
be excluded, which can have a negative effect on the Group’s profitability.
For ALTEO Group’s power plants burning hydrocarbons, the key types of fuel (primarily natural gas)
are procured from third-party suppliers. The natural gas transport agreements made by the ALTEO
Group are in line with the practices used by the entire industry. Despite that, there is no guarantee
that the fuel required for fueling the power plants will always be available, and it is especially difficult
to plan with fuel supply in the case of external events. The natural gas transport agreements made by
the ALTEO Group are also in line with the practices used by the entire industry and these may include
an offtake (a.k.a. “take-or-pay”) obligation, for the respective period, with a certain tolerance band.
In the event of a significant drop in natural gas consumption, incurrence of a penalty by the ALTEO
Group due to gas not taken over cannot be completely ruled out, and such an occurrence would have
an adverse impact on the profitability of the Company.
28. Renewing and/or refinancing outstanding debts
In addition to loans from financial institutions, the ALTEO Group uses in part bonds - issued by ALTEO
either in a private or public offering - to fund its financing needs.
Negative changes and risks in the business prospects of the ALTEO Group, in the general financing
environment, in the interest environment or in the general capital market atmosphere may have a
negative effect on the renewal of bond debt and the refinancing of the ALTEO Group’s outstanding
loans would be possible only with significantly worse conditions or it might even become impossible.
These circumstances may have a negative effect on future financing and on the financial situation of
the ALTEO Group.
29. Information technology systems
The activity of the ALTEO Group (in particular, the supervision of the power plants) depends on how
information technology systems operate. The improper operation or security of the ALTEO Group’s
information technology (IT) systems may have adverse consequences for the business and
profitability of the ALTEO Group.
30. Wholesale partner risks
ALTEO Nyrt. Consolidated Annual Report and Management Report for 2021 Data in HUF thousand
65 / 115
If the partner in a wholesale transaction does not deliver or accept the contracted amount of energy,
or cannot pay for the energy delivered, such failed transactions may lead to short- or long-term
losses for the Company. Although the ALTEO Group exercises utmost care in selecting its partners,
any failure by them to meet their obligations would have a negative impact on the profitability of the
ALTEO Group.
31. Dependence on third-party suppliers
During the implementation of energy investments, the ALTEO Group greatly depends on the
suppliers, manufacturers of certain equipment, as well as on the implementers and subcontractors,
and that may have an impact on the implementation of the investments. The ALTEO Group does not
always have full control over the equipment, installations and materials. If, for any reason,
manufacturers or suppliers fail to deliver the equipment ordered by the ALTEO Group at the right
time, for the right price and in the right quality, delays may occur in the implementation of
investments and additional costs may arise, which may have an adverse impact on the profitability of
the ALTEO Group.
32. Buyer risk
A significant share of the ALTEO Group’s revenues comes from a small number of buyers making
large purchases. Consequently, winning or losing a client contract may already make a big difference
in terms of the Company’s future revenues and profitability.
As a consequence of having significant buyers, the ALTEO Group is exposed to non-payment risk. If
an important buyer of the ALTEO Group fails to pay or pays lately, that might cause a significant loss
to the ALTEO Group.
The ALTEO Group has fixed-term contracts with its significant buyers, suppliers and financing
partners. There is no guarantee that after the expiry of these contracts, the parties can reach an
agreement regarding the extension of these contracts. Even fixed-term contracts offer no guarantee
against their termination before the end of their specified term due to some unexpected or
exceptional event.
ALTEO Group sells electricity and provides district heating services for certain public institution users.
Upon request from such users, the relevant Subsidiary is obliged to provide an exemption from
termination due to late payment (a moratorium), for a specified period, subject to the conditions laid
down by law. Costs occurred due to the moratorium must be borne by the relevant Subsidiary.
33. The risk of key managers and/or employees leaving the Company
The performance and success of the ALTEO Group greatly depends on the experience and availability
of its managers and key employees. Managers or key employees leaving the Company or their
absence may have a negative impact on the ALTEO Group’s operation and profitability.
ALTEO Nyrt. Consolidated Annual Report and Management Report for 2021 Data in HUF thousand
66 / 115
34. The risk of introducing and using new power plant technologies
In accordance with its business plans, the ALTEO Group may introduce into the portfolio certain
technologies that were not included in their power plant portfolio until now. Although the ALTEO
Group implements only proven technologies holding a number of references, if the performance of a
given technology is lower than previously projected, it may cause a loss to the ALTEO Group.
35. Risks arising from authorities' opinions and findings
In addition to the tax authority, several other authorities (such as the Central Bank of Hungary and
HEPURA) are entitled to check the proper functioning of the rules at the ALTEO Group. The ALTEO
Group does everything that can reasonably be expected of it to ensure the compliance of its
operation with the requirements set out in legal regulations or specified by the authorities.
Nevertheless, the possibility that future inspections by the authorities will result in statements
leading to substantial expenses for the ALTEO Group, or that the competent authorities will impose
certain sanctions (penalty, suspension of operation or withdrawal of the license required for
operation) against some companies of the ALTEO Group cannot be excluded, which may have an
adverse impact on the perception and profitability of the Company.
36. Key licenses and qualifications
For performing their activities, members of the ALTEO Group need several permissions (such as small
power plant consolidated permit, KÁT permit, as well as environmental and water rights licenses). If
these certificates, qualifications and licenses are revoked or not extended, the business of the ALTEO
Group would be profoundly limited. Therefore, this could have a significant negative impact on the
Group’s profitability.
37. The risk of not fulfilling the obligations associated with operating its own
balancing group
As part of its electricity trading activity, ALTEO Energiakereskedő operates a balancing group of its
own, an accounting organization with the membership of electricity users and electricity producers in
contractual relationship with ALTEO Energiakereskedő, and performs its related tasks specified in
legislation and in the electricity supply regulations. ALTEO Energiakereskedő itself has all licenses,
financial securities, assets and resources required for operating the balancing group, but in the case
of a malfunctioning or a shortage, ALTEO Energiakereskedő may not be able to perform its duties as
the entity responsible for the balancing group, therefore, it would have to bear all relevant damages
and fines.
ALTEO Energiakereskedő is involved in a balancing group cooperation with several balancing group
managers. Should these balancing group managers suspend or terminate their activities, the transfer
of their tasks may imply significant costs for ALTEO Energiakereskedő and, if the transfer of the tasks
performed by the balancing group managers cannot be settled immediately, without problems, then,
even a significant amount of surcharge payment may be the result thereof.

38. Options to purchase certain means of production
Third parties have options to purchase certain means of production of the ALTEO Group. If the
relevant contracts are not amended or new service contracts are not signed, these assets will not
contribute to the Company’s revenues and profits after the time when they are sold. Apart from that,
the Company may suffer losses from such sale transactions. In its business plans, the Company
anticipates the expiration of these contracts and the loss of ownership of the means of production;
any contract renewals or the retention or more favorable sale of ownership will result in additional
profits compared to the plans.
On the basis of the investment and long-term heat supply contracts concluded between the legal
predecessors of Alteo Therm Kft. and the local municipalities of Kazincbarcika, Ózd and Tiszaújváros,
the municipalities are entitled to buy those heating power plants upon the expiry of such contracts,
at the value specified in the accounting records.
Under a purchase option contract between MOL Petrochemicals Co. Ltd. and Sinergy on the Tisza-
WTP business share, MOL Petrochemicals Co. Ltd. is entitled to purchase, until June 30, 2027 at the
latest, the Tisza-WTP business share at a price calculated according to the methodology specified in
the contract.
Under a long term contract concluded by Zugló-Therm and FŐTÁV Zrt. on purchasing and selling heat
energy, as well as an agreement establishing a purchase option concluded at the same time, upon
expiry of that contract (expected by May 31, 2030) or in the case of termination by Zugló-Therm,
FŐTÁV Zrt. is entitled to buy the gas engine block heating power plant established by Zugló-Therm
for an amount of EUR 1, further to its decision adopted at its discretion. If FŐTÁV Zrt. fails to exercise
their purchase option, and the parties are unable to reach an agreement on the future of the heating
power plant, Zugló-Therm will be obliged to demolish it at its own expense and restore the property
used by it for this purpose to its original condition.
39. Business relationships associated with the Owners’ Group
The ALTEO Group is part of the Owners’ Group, and there are several business relationships between
the two groups. A portion of the ALTEO Group’s revenues and services used comes from the
Ownership Group. There is no guarantee that in the case of an eventual future change in the
ownership structure of the Company or of these businesses the relationship of the ALTEO Group with
these businesses remains unchanged. The termination of these buyer, financing and supplier
relationships may have a negative effect on the profitability of the ALTEO Group and limit its options
to access funding in the future.
40. The risk of being categorized as a de facto group of companies
The ALTEO Group includes several Subsidiaries. In the case of ALTEO Group, in the absence of a
uniform business policy or, in the case of certain Subsidiaries, the lack of other conditions, no control
agreement was concluded and ALTEO Group does not qualify as a recognized company group. At the
ALTEO Nyrt. Consolidated Annual Report and Management Report for 2021 Data in HUF thousand
68 / 115
same time, it cannot be excluded that based on the request of a legal entity with an interest of legal
nature, the court will oblige the member companies of ALTEO Group to enter into a subordination
agreement and to initiate the registration of the company group with the Court of Registration, or
categorize ALTEO Group as an actual company group even in the lack of a court registration. In a
situation like that, if a subsidiary was liquidated, the Company would be obligated to honor its debt
repayment obligations toward the creditors, except if it can prove that the insolvency was not the
consequence of the company group’s integrated business policy.
41. Taxation
The ALTEO Group does everything that can reasonably be expected of it to ensure that its operation
is in compliance with the regulations, but it cannot be excluded that a future tax audit will result in
substantial expenses in the form of a tax liability payable by the Company or its subsidiaries. The
National Tax and Customs Administration of Hungary (abbreviation in Hungarian: NAV) performed a
comprehensive tax audit at the Company for the year 2018. The audit findings did not result in any
noteworthy changes in the tax positions of the Company, and the Company met all obligations
imposed on it on the basis of those findings.
In certain acquisition contracts, the parties to the contract acting as sellers to the ALTEO Group
accepted a full guarantee for the period of tax law limitation for the reimbursement of the tax debts
of the target companies for the periods prior to their getting into the ALTEO Group. Nevertheless,
there is no guarantee that any claims for reimbursement against the sellers may be fully enforceable,
which may result in a loss for the ALTEO Group.
42. Environmental risks
During their activities the ALTEO Group’s companies use materials and apply technologies that could
be harmful to the environment if used inappropriately, not complying with legislation or with the
relevant permissions. Members of the ALTEO Group have the necessary environmental licenses and
policies in place, and their expert staff do their job with special care as required by the nature of this
business. But there could be extraordinary events which may entail invoking the environmental
remediation obligation of the affected company or imposing a fine, or may lead to enforcing claims
against the affected company. The ALTEO Group’s insurance policies may not provide any cover or
full cover for damages and costs resulting from such events, which may result in a loss for the ALTEO
Group.
43. Risk of bankruptcy and liquidation proceedings
If the court requires bankruptcy proceedings to be instituted against the Company, the Company will
be granted a payment extension. Pursuant to Section 10(4) of the Bankruptcy Act, the term of
payment is extended until 00:00 a.m. on the second business day following the 120
th
day from the
publication of the decision on the bankruptcy proceedings. Under certain conditions, the extension
may be prolonged for up to 365 days from the start date of the bankruptcy proceedings. In the event
ALTEO Nyrt. Consolidated Annual Report and Management Report for 2021 Data in HUF thousand
69 / 115
of liquidation proceedings, the Bond claims of Bond holders will be satisfied as other receivables
pursuant to Section 57(e) of the Bankruptcy Act. Any bankruptcy or liquidation proceedings initiated
against the Company would have a significantly adverse impact on the rate of Bonds and the
probability of their full repayment.
44. Any discrepancies between the data in the consolidated and IFRS reports
and the data in the reports prepared in line with the Hungarian Accounting
Standards (HAS)
The Company and its Subsidiaries prepare individual reports in line with HAS for each financial year.
Beginning with the fiscal year of 2010, the Company prepares a consolidated financial statement
according to the IFRS standards in addition to the separate HAS report. As of 2017, the Company has
prepared its separate financial statement in line with the IFRS standards. Valuation and presentation
principles applied in the reports of subsidiaries and of the Company prepared according to the HAS
requirements are different from those applied in the consolidated financial statement. Due to the
differences in the accounting systems, the information content of the simple aggregation of the
separate HAS financial statements and that of the consolidated IFRS financial statement are
independent and separate.
45. The risk of entering new geographical markets
The ALTEO Group might implement acquisitions and green-field investments overseas as well,
therefore, any unfavorable changes in the macroeconomic, business, regulatory and/or legal
environment of the target countries may have an adverse effect on the financial performance of the
projects obtained through acquisition or implemented through green-field investments and
consequently, on the profitability of the ALTEO Group.
III.4 Financial risks and their management
Over and above the listing of risks in Section III.3, in this section the Group presents its risks related
to financial asset and receivables, the way they are managed, and it analyzes its risk management
objectives in the current period.
III.4.1 Recovery risk and its management
The Group has classified its clients into the following risk categories:
ALTEO Nyrt. Consolidated Annual Report and Management Report for 2021 Data in HUF thousand
70 / 115
Assessed risk categories
managed collectively
Group Risk characteristics of the category, risk management
procedures
Retail trade in natural gas
and electricity
In establishing a customer portfolio, diversification by industry and
company size reduces risk.
Before establishing trade relations, our partners undergo a
customer rating, which is reviewed annually.
We monitor our receivables on a daily basis. In the event of
default, the act regulating the electricity sector allows, as the last
resort, partners to be excluded from consumption.
District heating
Customers are typically municipality-owned heat suppliers; they
are monitored continuously.
Business and project
development
Customers are subjected to a pre-qualification assessment; non-
payment related risk is managed by requiring financial
performance guarantees (bank guarantee, security deposit).
Large corporate clients
(energy services)
Customers possess the critical infrastructure of the Hungarian
corporate sector; they are mostly listed companies operating in a
transparent manner. Customers are monitored continuously.
Wholesale trade in
electricity
The settlement of sales through the power exchange is assured by
the regulations of the exchange. Trading partners (may) use
performance guarantees vis-à-vis each other.
System Operator
(MAVIR Zrt.) KÁT
The risk rating of the system operator is the same as that of
Hungary. All the generators in Hungary that sell in the KÁT system
are required to be members solely of this balancing group; the
consideration for their production is covered by the fee
component allocated to non-retail users as specified in
Section 13/A of the Electricity Act. The system has been operating
for over one decade without any financial problems.
System Operator
(MAVIR Zrt.) ancillary
services
With regard to the collection of the consideration payable for
those services, see the comments on KÁT above.
Lease receivables
The value of the receivables is guaranteed by the title of the assets
concerned.
ALTEO Nyrt. Consolidated Annual Report and Management Report for 2021 Data in HUF thousand
71 / 115
In 2020, the restrictions on business operation and on the working of sectors due to the COVID-19
pandemic resulted in an increased client risk; as a result, the Group identified an increasing risk
value.
Increased risk factors have been taken into account and have been quantified in the course of the
review of the ECL model. During the current year, it was not necessary to draw down bank
guarantees or any other collateral pledged by clients.
The details of the Group’s receivables and the expected losses relating to such receivables are
presented in Sections IV.14; IV.17 and IV.19.
III.4.2 Liquidity risk and its management
The Group makes liquidity plans, in which it examines liquidity positions and, having analyzed the
plans, ensures in advance, in due time, that sufficient liquidity is maintained.
The Group has a cash pool system settled through banks, available to its members, which is
successful in managing cash use and demand within the Group at different times and in
different amounts.
Furthermore, the Group has shared bank liquidity facilities, the availability of which assures
sufficient and flexible liquidity options for the Group.
The 10-year bonds issued in 2019 and 2020 changed the composition of the sources of the
liquid cash assets available to the Group; the shift of liabilities towards long term has
considerably improved short- and medium-term liquidity.
The future cash flows of the borrowings and bonds, and also the credit terms are explained in detail
in Sections IV.21 and IV.22.
The maturity dates of the Group’s financial instruments are the following:
less than 1 year within 2-5 years longer than 5 year
Assets:
Long-term deposits or loans given - 225 651 -
Trade receivables 4 425 345 - -
Other financial assets 8 627 136 - -
Other receivables and accruals 9 155 718 - -
Liabilities:

Loans and borrowings 419 778 1 906 519 4 676 579
Finance lease liabilities 237 744 751 441 936 263
Advances received 8 989 - -
Trade payables 4 546 498 - -
Other long-term liabilities - 320 000 216 090

Income tax liabilities 407 159 - -
ALTEO Nyrt. Consolidated Annual Report and Management Report for 2021 Data in HUF thousand
72 / 115
III.4.3 Interest rate risk and its management
The Group is financed through fixed-interest bonds and variable-interest project loans.
To fix the interest rates of project loans, the Group has entered into interest rate swaps, in
which it agrees to exchange the variable cash flows, for a predefined period, to fixed cash
flows with respect to the principal amount. The effects of these swaps are considered to be
cash flow hedges.
The Group regards hedging transactions to be efficient as they were concluded with the
lending bank, adjusted to the terms of the loans in question.
III.4.4 Risk arising from changes in energy product prices and its management
Due to its scope of activities, the Group is considerably exposed to the variations in the prices of
energy carriers, but such risk is managed by appropriate pricing and by hedging transactions.
Risk to be managed
(hedged transaction)

generation of electricity
III.4.5 Foreign exchange risk and its management
The Group's exposure to foreign exchange risk arises when the income from and expenses of
transactions are denominated in different currencies. The Group has no significant hidden foreign
exchange risks (embedded derivatives) regarding its activities.
Risk to be managed

Objective
Change in the exchange rate of

III.4.6 Description of hedge relationships - objectives and procedures relevant for hedges
and hedging policy
IFRS 9 provides for the terms of hedge accounting, and the Group complies with the requirements
set out in IFRS 9: the Group keeps a register of the hedged items and hedging instruments, the
hedging relationships have been identified, the hedging relationships exist and are effective.
ALTEO Nyrt. Consolidated Annual Report and Management Report for 2021 Data in HUF thousand
73 / 115
With respect to the volume and price risk of energy products, the Group has set up plans and risk
management models regarding the various business segments. These models calculate the type
and value of the necessary hedge transactions in accordance with the contracts and plans in
effect. Hedge transactions are concluded on that basis.
In the case of district heating, due to the non-obligatory volume purchase, the Group
continuously assesses the relationship of hedged items and hedging instruments relating to the
production of heat. The volume to be hedged is based on historic data of several years as well as
on consumption forecasts. In the current period, the relationship was effective, with no
relationships discontinued.
In the case of FX risk, the Group covers the foreign exchange risk of its future purchases to be
settled in a foreign currency in the next 12 months by concluding hedging transactions. The
maturity date of the hedging transactions is as close to the date of expected payment as
possible.
The Group regards interest rate hedging (IRS) transactions to be efficient as they were concluded
with the lending bank, adjusted to the terms of the loans in question.
III.4.7 Managing capital
By transforming its capital structure, the Group intends to retain its capacity to operate continuously
in order to provide profit for its shareholders and maintain an optimal capital structure for the sake
of reducing the cost of capital. In order to preserve or adjust capital structure, the Board of Directors
proposes to the General Meeting the amount of dividends to be paid to shareholders, and acting
within its authorization received from the General Meeting, it decides, in connection with the capital
structure or at its discretion, on capital increase and issuing new shares, or submits a proposal to that
effect to the General Meeting.
The Group complies with the statutory capital requirements applicable to it. In performing a review
of that, the Group observes the requirements of Act V of 2013 on the Civil Code (of Hungary). The
table below shows equity and its ratio relative to issued capital:

In current year's valuation, the management of the Group uses the data available in public databases
to determine ECL rates. In the opinion of the Group’s management, the overall credit risk in the
market of the partners and segments showed a 0 to 2.5% change in the recent period. As a result of
COVID and the impact of the extraordinary increase in energy prices on the solvency of customers,
the Group has maintained the classification of its receivables or assigned them to a riskier level.

ESOP Program I (2017)
The settlement of the fair value of the options was completed in 2017. The fair value of the option
program was recognized as personnel expense in the profit or loss statement of previous periods.
The entire scheme is equity settled; therefore, no revaluation will be required in the forthcoming
periods. The value of the options cannot be remeasured at a later time. ALTEO Nyrt. does not
provide cash benefits with respect to this scheme.
Under the option program, the options 96,253 in total vested in August 2017. The price of the
options as of the time of distribution was uniformly HUF 3,800/share, apportioned by splitting the
shares in 1:8 proportions. By splitting the shares the number of share options changed
proportionately (770,024 options). 21,500 shares were called under the scheme during 2019.
Call options will expire on November 7, 2021. Neither the beneficiaries nor the ESOP organization
may sell their shares below the 2016 IPO issue price (HUF 579/share, having regard to the division by
eight).
ESOP Program II (2020)
Certain executive employees of the Company receive share-based benefits as of December 21, 2020
(the date of grant): the detailed rules of the so-called Employee Share Ownership Program (“ESOP”)
are set forth in the Company’s Remuneration Policy for 2020, published and effective on December
21, 2020.
https://alteo.hu/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/ALTEO_2020_evi_MRP_Jav_Pol_20201221.pdf

avadalmazasi_Politikajarol__128504486
The ESOP applies to the 9 executive Employees specified in the 2020 Remuneration Policy. The
Employee is eligible to acquire the Available Shares if their legal relationship making them eligible to
participate in the Remuneration Policy for 2020 is in place with the Company on the day of
publication of the Company's consolidated financial statement for 2022.
The subject of the ESOP is a maximum of 645,200 Available Shares which may be distributed
provided the below criteria are met after the closing of the 2022 fiscal year of the Company
(following the adoption of the consolidated financial statement). The Available Shares are acquired
by the Employee without consideration. The Employee may choose whether they wish to receive the
Available Shares as securities or whether they wish to receive the consideration thereof in cash.
The Employees may acquire the following ratios (specified as a %) of the full volume of Available
Shares, provided that certain performance conditions also presented below are met in full:
ALTEO Nyrt. Consolidated Annual Report and Management Report for 2021 Data in HUF thousand
108 / 115
1. ALTEO Share Price: in the period between January 1, 2022 and December 31, 2022, the
volume-weighted average trading price on the BSE reaches HUF 1,178. (15% weight, partial
performance is not possible)
2. Turnover: The aggregate turnover of ALTEO Shares as traded on the BSE in the period
between January 1, 2022 and December 31, 2022 exceeds HUF 2,479 million and the volume-
weighted average trading price in the same period is at least HUF 950. (15% weight, partial
performance is not possible)
3. The audited profit after taxation filtered from ESOP effect per share reaches or exceeds HUF
54.7 in 2022. (25% weight, partial performance is possible)
4. The audited EBITDA filtered from ESOP effect per share reaches or exceeds HUF 320 in 2022.
(45% weight, partial performance is possible)
5. Excluding criterion: the rating of the bonds of ALTEO Nyrt. at Scope or an alternative credit
rating agency drops below B+. In the event of the occurrence of the excluding criterion, 0
(zero) Available Shares may be distributed, regardless of whether criteria 1-4 are fulfilled.
The vesting period of ESOP is January 1, 2020 December 31, 2022, that is 3 years, with the
emphasis on meeting 2022 target figures. Given that the above conditions may be met by December
31, 2022, the date of vesting is that date.
The ESOP Organization is entitled to withhold a ratio of Available Shares whose market value at the
time of provision provides coverage for the fulfillment of tax and contribution payment obligations
borne by the Employee.
Early exercise of the option is not possible. No option was exercised before the reporting date.
Principles of presentation
Considering that ESOP is a transaction related to services received from employees, the fair value of
which cannot be measured reliably, their fair value was determined based on the fair value of the
equity instrument provided.
Not applying the provisions of the Remuneration Policy for 2020, the beneficiary Employees
irrevocably waived their right of choice retroactively to 12/21/2020 and according to such waiver
they intend to acquire the shares that may be acquired in the form of securities. Consequently, the
accounting treatment of ESOP is governed by the rules for share-based payment transactions where
the terms of the arrangement are no longer affected by the choice and the method of settlement
under which the equity component of a complex financial instrument needs to be accounted for.
In view of this, the ESOP as a whole was accounted for as an equity instrument.
Calculation principles for fair valuation
ALTEO Nyrt. Consolidated Annual Report and Management Report for 2021 Data in HUF thousand
109 / 115
As of the reporting date, the fair value of ESOP is equal to the time-vested part of the fair value of a
share multiplied by the number of shares expected to be acquired (i.e. the fair value of the total
liability).
The starting point of the current fair value of the shares is the market price, i.e. the closing
price observed on the Budapest Stock Exchange and valid as at the grant date.
The market price is reduced by the present value of the dividends expected to be paid during
the vesting period (2021-2022) as the Employees will not be entitled to them prior to
fulfillment of the criteria. The expected amount of the dividend payment is based on the
dividend paid in the past.
The number of benefits expected to be vested has been determined on the basis of the best estimate
available, using analyzes and simulations for the financial indicators underlying the performance
conditions (see vesting criteria).
The Company recognizes expenses when they are provided by the employee during the vesting
period, that is, between the beginning of the scheme (January 1, 2020) and the date of vesting
(December 31, 2022). The value of the liability on the reporting date is the time-vested part of the
total liability, i.e. two thirds.
Employee reward program
In the employee program, the Group
distributes shares to the employees who have
become entitled to these on the basis of the
recognition system applied at the Group. In
connection with the shares granted, the
shares will be transferred in January following
the anniversary of the current period.

tasks and exposure to variable return can be justified easily and in full. Where the Group does not
control the entity, it is not consolidated but treated another way.
The Group has no associates, it does not participate in joint organizations.
The Group has to face no limitations concerning any of its entities that would influence access to net
assets, the profit or the cash flow. The Group has no consolidated or not consolidated interests in
which control is not established through voting rights or where voting rights are not for controlling
relevant activities leading to control (structured entities). None of the members of the Group qualify
as or have shares in an investment entity.

1 The Management’s report and analysis of business activities for 2021
1.1 Executive summary on events yielding significant results over the period
Its 2021 results confirmed ALTEO’s strategy and the successful investments of the past period. ALTEO’s
profitability was only moderately affected by the COVID epidemic compared to other more procyclical
sectors due to the risk management measures taken by the Company and the fact that the negative
impact of the epidemic was far outweighed by the excellent results achieved with other activities.
In 2021, both the revenue and net after-tax profit of the Group increased significantly. A 34% revenue
growth was accompanied by a 892% growth in after-tax profit. Consolidated EBITDA increased by 134%
year-on-year, primarily (i) on account of the remarkable profitability of the virtual power plant
controlling heat and electricity generation, which was positively supported by the expansion of the
power plant portfolio’s gas engine capacities in 2020 with an additional 18 MW and the price increase
in the global market, (ii) within the subsidized electricity generation segment, the surplus profits of the
15 MW wind farm acquired by the Group in October 2020 and the reconstructed Gibárt Hydropower
Plant helped the increase of the EBITDA, and (iii) the outstanding, record profits of the Energy Retail
segment (which was hit the hardest by the pandemic) which were also impacted by the rise of global
market prices.
In November 2021, a new 5 MW capacity energy storage unit was commissioned at the Kazincbarcika
Heating Power Plant, thereby further increasing the Group’s total capacity. This project was, in part,
implemented using a non-refundable grant.
ALTEO was also able to renew key contracts with several important partners. On October 21, 2021, the
Kazincbarcika heat supply contract, an important heat sales element of ALTEO's energy production
business was renewed until September 30, 2031. On January 4, 2022, the existing contract for
operation and maintenance services with one of its key operating partners, BC Power Plant, owned by
BorsodChem Zrt., was renewed for another 15 years.
On December 7, 2021, the Group was awarded an investment development grant of more than HUF
400 million to realize its innovation efforts. The aim of the project is to develop a highly automated, AI
based energy IT system that is capable of making autonomous production and commercial decisions,
and controlling and optimizing “smart” power plant electricity production.
In July 2021, Scope ratings reaffirmed the previous rating (BBB-) of Alteo's bonds, and on January 10,
2022, the bond package "ALTEO 2022/I" (HUF 650 million) was repaid by the Group.

The Group was presented with the Green Frog Award for the Best Sustainability Report by Deloitte
Hungary.
Executive summary of the operating profit or loss statement
The result of 2021, although partly a one-off event, is a good feedback to ALTEO’s management that
the strategy presented earlier and revised in early 2022 is working. Environmental and social
sustainability continues to have a crucial role in our strategy.
The comparative analysis of the ALTEO Group's financial data for 2021 and 2020 is presented below.

Consolidated Statement of profit or loss
7 / 48
The Group’s revenues increased by 34%, i.e. HUF 11.3 billion, to HUF 44.2 billion, as compared to
2020. Revenue growth was driven by multiple factors:
Revenue from the Heat and Electricity Generation segment rose significantly, primarily due
to the excellent performance by heat and electricity cogeneration plants in the electricity
market, heat and electricity cogeneration, actively leveraging a volatile market throughout
2021 that was markedly different than in the past and presumably will not persist in the long
term. Management stability in the segment was strongly supported by the unit that was put
into operation last year as part of the gas engine capacity expansion projects and generated
revenue over the reporting period (18MW capacity expansion at the Tiszjváros and Győr sites).
Revenues from the Energy Retail segment increased significantly. In addition to the growth in
energy prices compared to 2020 (apparent in both the revenue and material expenses lines),
effective response to further lockdowns due to Covid early in the year and the resulting market
anomalies also contributed to the segment’s revenue outperforming the lower baseline
resulting from the pandemic.
Acquired in October 2020, Pannon Szélerőmű Kft. (Bábolna wind farm) was not owned by the
Group over the entirety of the comparative period; as such its performance is consolidated
from October 1, 2020.
In the Energy Services segment, the drop in revenue is mainly attributable to the focus of the
project development team being shifted to internal projects.
The particularly high revenue growth of 34% was accompanied by an 11% increase in material
expenses. The relationship between revenue and material expenses was affected by the following
management effects:
The revenue growth in the structured electricity market did not involve a significant increase
in material expenses.
The commercial segment is characterized by revenue growth being accompanied by a significant
increase in COGS, the level of which, however, is below that of the revenue growth.
The wind farm acquired by the Group through the aforementioned acquisition typically
operates with low material expenses.
The drop in the revenue of energy services entails a significant decrease in material expenses,
offsetting the COGS increase in the commercial segment.
The 11%, i.e. HUF 0.4 billion, increase in personnel expenses is directly linked to the expansion of the
Group and the effect of the management incentive program revealed in late 2020 is also recognized
here.
8 / 48
Depreciation and amortization was up by 38%, i.e. HUF 1.1 billion, mainly as a result of a significant
increase of HUF 10.9 billion in production capacities throughout 2020, comprised of the following:
The HUF 7.1 billion asset portfolio acquired in relation to the Bábolna wind farm appeared in
the Group’s depreciation as of October 2020.
The HUF 2.7 billion investment project to increase the capacity of gas engines at the
Tiszaújváros and Győr sites was handed over in two phases starting in July and November 2020.
The HUF 1.1 billion renovation of the Gibárt hydropower plant was completed and handed
over in October 2020.
The balance of other revenues, expenses, net shows a HUF 0.6 billion increase, reflecting the amount,
and increased unit price, of the quota that had to be purchased for the increased CO
2
emissions as a
result of additional gas consumption.
The ALTEO Group generated an operating profit of HUF 8.9 billion and an EBITDA of HUF 12.9 billion
in 2021.
Hedge expenses, resulting from a physical delivery transaction being terminated prematurely, had a
dominant role in the HUF 781 million decrease in net finance income.
The ALTEO Group realized a HUF 7.1 billion profit before taxes in 2021. The ALTEO Group’s profit
before taxes in 2021 exceeded its profit before taxes in 2020 by 380%.
Income tax expenses increased in parallel to the Group’s profits. Income tax expenses exceeded
expenses in the comparative period by HUF 331 million.
In 2021, the after-tax profit, i.e. net profit, of the Group was HUF 5.9 billion, representing an increase
of 892% over the comparative period.

Consolidated Comprehensive Statement of Profit or Loss
9 / 48
The Group recognized the cumulative effects (including deferred tax) of the end-of-period revaluation
of hedges in other comprehensive income. The aggregate profit of the revaluation of transactions as
at the reporting date, recognized in the profits for the period, was an unrealized change of HUF 4,907
million. Transactions are recognized, depending on comprehensive income or transaction profit
nature, against the balance sheet items of other financial assets or other financial expenses.
Changes in the consolidated comprehensive income was most affected by forward contracts, including
the revaluation of open hedging positions to manage price changes for natural gas assets in kind
involved in regulated heat energy sales for December 31. The majority of the Group’s annual heat sales
agreements are concluded at a fixed and regulated price level, the effect of which, however, cannot
be included in other comprehensive income in accordance with the IFRS rules due to the impossibility
of predicting the sales volume. The management estimates that fluctuations in the price of assets in
kind required for regulated heat energy sales are eliminated through hedges by the Group under
normal market conditions.
The business mechanism of hedges applied by the Group is as follows:
- The Group adapts its gas purchases to its regulated heat energy sales pricing system and concluded
forward contracts to manage currency price volatilities.
- The Group entered into interest rate swaps on some of its outstanding project loans in line with
its risk management policy. The Group intends to manage the interest rate risk on project loans
with interest rate swaps.
- The Group presents the tax effect of the forward contracts shown in the comprehensive income
by applying a corporate tax effect of 9%.

1.3 Management summary on the performance of the segments
In relation to segment information, we present the detailed description, analysis and comparison of
the segments in question.
* For the definition and calculation of EBITDA, see Section IV.33 Financial reports.
Starting from 2021, the presentation of ALTEO segments has changed in the interest of better
interpretability for investors and an improved presentation of segment profitability.
The following structural changes were implemented in the presentation of the segments:
Intra-group, inter-segment construction works were eliminated on both the revenue and cost side.
Activities related to the operation of power plants owned by ALTEO were shown directly in the
segment presenting profit/loss generated by the power plant.
In the previous reporting structure, internal production in the “Other” segment was presented in
the revenue line. The new structure shows the profit or loss of the segments by allocating
expenses. Those indirect expenses previously shown in the “Other” segment that are closely linked
to ALTEO’s operations, have been reclassified as administrative costs and then allocated to
productive segments.
Amounts net of administration costs allocated to segments are shown as EBITDA. Through the
allocation procedure, we assigned indirect administrative costs (called administrative costs in the
tables) to segments, followed by the presentation of EBITDA II.
“Administration costs are also presented in segment-specific tables as assigned to segments.
1.3.1 Heat and electricity generation segment (market-based, outside the
“Subsidized” system)
This segment includes combined heat and electricity generation (cogeneration), the Virtual Power
Plant and wind turbines that are no longer subsidized (being excluded from KÁT, having produced their
subsidized volumes). The Virtual Power Plant is responsible for planning and managing the Group’s
market-based renewable electricity generation, the electricity generation by cogeneration equipment
in heating power plants and the production by external partners connected to the Virtual Power Plant.
The Virtual Power Plant also grants access to the Ancillary Services market through the integration of
the units managed. The profit that can be realized on the electricity production portfolio with the

electricity production integrated through the Virtual Power Plant, with the related electricity
management functions, and with the production and sale of structured electricity products, greatly
exceeds the levels that can be achieved by implementing conventional production strategies.
Since fall 2020, in addition to managing its own renewables-based electricity production portfolio, the
ALTEO Group has provided comprehensive commercial and production management services to power
plants operating on a market basis or in subsidized systems (KÁT, METÁR).
* For the definition of EBITDA see the “Consolidated statement of profit or loss” report.
The revenue of the segment was 72% up compared to the base period.
The current year’s significant revenue growth is attributable to the appreciation in the market value of
electricity generation capacities expanded as a result of investment projects implemented in the base
year, a significant hike in capacity and regulatory prices, a higher heat demand and increasing heat
feed-in tariffs, as well as the dynamic growth in revenues for the Scheduling business that was only
observed to a limited extent in the base period.
Under the gas engine investment program, flexible own electricity generation capacities have been
expanded from the second half of 2020, resulting in a considerable increase in the profit margin
achievable on the market in the current year. In 2021, the expansion continued with the Group’s
second electricity storage facility put into operation in Q4, boosting ALTEO’s electricity storage
capacity to 11MW/9MWh by the end of the period. Renewable capacities in the segment that were
previously integrated into the Virtual Power Plant provided stable output.
In Q3 2020 ALTEO launched a smart, comprehensive and risk-free scheduling service to provide
partners with a solution to the challenges faced by renewable energy producers. The Group’s market
share in the current year grew significantly, with the revenue and profit generated by the new business
reaching the upper third of the target range.

Material expenses in the segment include three major items: the cost of gas purchased, the cost of
electricity purchased from external (non-consolidated, third-party) power plants, and the costs and
expenses incurred by the division responsible for the operation and maintenance of the power plant
portfolio.
In 2021, the segment sold heat energy not only to district heating suppliers but also to industrial
customers, including Heineken Hungária. On the basis of these contracts, the company continued to
provide a stable and predictable performance.
The segment’s EBITDA II for 2021 was HUF 8.6 billion, a 183% increase over the previous period,
primarily attributable to the following factors:
For the entire year of 2021, the Virtual Power Plant realized significantly higher margins, relative
to the prior period, as a result of the change in the behavior of actors in the balancing reserve
capacity market and under volatile market conditions.
This result arose from the aggregate effect of several external and internal factors. The availability
of major industry producers, the increasing ratio of weather-dependent capacities and,
simultaneously, the higher volatility of the demand-supply side of the electricity market leads to
the appreciation of flexible electricity production capacities.
The intensive capacity expansion projects over the previous period, and the development and
upgrading of the Virtual Power Plant was met with positive feedback from the market.
The sales revenue of the FCR (formerly called primary) regulatory capacity produced by the
electricity storage architecture saw an increase of 21%.
The Scheduling business makes an increasingly positive contribution to the segment’s
performance.
The losses incurred on the heat production and sales activities subject to price regulation have
become marginal as compared to dominant operations.
13 / 48
Presentation of the markets of the heat and electricity segment
The quantitative impact of structured electricity product sales on the segment’s profit
The 22% increase in electricity production is
primarily attributable to the additional
electricity produced as a result of capacity
expansion projects.
The renewable energy production volume is
highly exposed to weather conditions, which
were about the same as in the previous year for
the purposes of generation.
The balancing reserve capacity sold by the
Virtual Power Plant saw an increase in terms of
both quantity and unit price, which had a
fundamental effect on the profit growth of the
segment.

Impact of heat energy production (district heating) and sale on the segment’s profit
The volume of heat energy sold by the segment
increased by 7% over the period. The 24% increase in
revenues generated from heat sales is attributable to
weather conditions and increased heat demand in 2021
as well as higher feed-in tariffs set by authorities. As a
result of the hedging policy applied by the Group, the
costs to cover the estimated resource needs for retail
heat sales are fixed, ensuring low volatility for hedging
in this subsegment.
As a result of the hedging policy applied by the Group, the costs to cover the estimated resource needs
for retail heat sales to final consumers are fixed. Fixing the costs ensures low volatility for hedging in
the subsegment.
Changes in the amount of natural gas used for
electricity and heat energy production
The amount of natural gas used by the
segment increased by 12%, in line with the
growth of both heat and electricity production.

1.3.2 Electricity generation (within the “Subsidized”
1
system) segment
Electricity generation recognized in this segment comprises renewable assets (solar, wind, hydro,
landfill gas) used for production within the “KÁT” balancing group and under the METÁR subsidy
regime. It is mainly made up of production by weather-dependent (wind, hydro, solar) power plants.
* For the definition and calculation of EBITDA, see Section IV.33 Financial reports.
Revenue from the Group's electricity production plants selling electricity within the subsidized
system rose by HUF 1,4 billion. A significant portion of this revenue growth is a result of the production
by Pannon Szélerőmű Kft., owned by the ALTEO Group since October 1, 2020, over the entire year of
2021, which, by itself, boosted the segment’s revenue by HUF 805 million. Furthermore, the technical
issues affecting wind turbines in 2020 were resolved, resulting in a significant increase in the revenue
produced by the wind farms in both Bőny and Törökszentmiklós.
Profit was further boosted by a full year’s production at the Gibárt hydropower plant, put into
operation in October, 2020, sold through “METÁR”.
The key difference between the two systems, “KÁT” and “METÁR”, is that while fixed electricity feed-
in tariffs are set for producers by MAVIR, as Buyer, under the KÁT purchase system, power plants
selling under the METÁR system sell the electricity they produce to any buyer on the free market at
free-market prices. Under METÁR system, after free-market sales, MAVIR makes price adjustments
with a view to the difference between the contractual METÁR price and the price considered as market
price as laid down by law in order to pay the corresponding amount to or collect such amount from
producers (collectively: “price supplement”). From September 2021, market prices were higher than
the contractual METÁR price for the Gibárt power plant; therefore, the Gibárt production unit

names are used by the Company interchangeably.

recognized the cash flow to MAVIR as price supplement. The effect of the price supplement in 2021
amounts to HUF 61 million and is included other expenses.
Thanks to high EBITDA rates in this segment, the EBITDA II output of the segment rose to HUF 4 billion
in 2021. As a consequence of the segment’s cost structure, a significant portion of the increase in the
revenue of the segment is reflected in EBITDA II.
Sold volume in 2021 was up by 29% compared to 2020,
mainly as a result of the now full year’s production by
Pannon Szélerőmű, purchased in Q4 of the previous
year, as part of the ALTEO Group’s portfolio and the
production by the Gibárt hydropower plant.
In 2021, a number of major technical issues were
resolved, including the repair of the inverter
malfunctions that affected the Balatonberény solar
power plant since it was commissioned, causing loss of
revenue in 2020/2021. The issue was addressed with
the involvement, and at the expense, of the
manufacturer. Since the second half of September, the
power plant has produced the expected output.
The composition of the segment reflects the fact that the Group gives high priority to having a renewable
energy portfolio, both in terms of profitability and environmental consciousness.
1.3.3 Energy Services segment
The Energy Services segment comprises power plant operation and maintenance (O&M) services
provided to third parties as well as construction, engineering services and energy consultancy, and also
includes the Waste Management business launched in 2019 and the E-mobility business established in
2020.
The Group also offers its customers engineering, project development and project management
services, as well as general construction services related to energy investments and developments,
under individual orders and contracts.
Third-party O&M services provided by this business are used by important players in the Hungarian
industry (e.g. MOL Petrolkémia, BorsodChem, Heineken, AUDI, Gönyű Power Plant, LEGO, FŐTÁV),

where our core activity is to operate the critical infrastructure of these clients, ensuring close to 100%
availability. We provide long-term services to our customers, and our contracts cover the complete
range of the operational and maintenance tasks.
* For the definition and calculation of EBITDA, see Section IV.33 Financial reports.
In 2021, the segment realized a negative EBITDA II of HUF 35 million. The negative value is due to the
launch and ramping-up of newly introduced business lines involving higher allocated administrative
costs, relatively significant compared to their profit generation capacity. ALTEO's management
continues to consider the long-term value-creation of the new business lines to be ensured. The
segment’s revenue dropped by HUF 2 billion as a result of the higher share of external investment
projects implemented in 2020 and the work performed for third parties last year by the Project
Development Division.
Project development
A substantial part of the Project Development division’s resources was dedicated to development
projects considered own-account construction from the Group’s perspective, i.e. own-account
investment to support the Group’s growth objectives. The extension of the lifespan of the TVK Power
Plant, which was launched in 2020, was completed in 2021 to the utmost satisfaction of the client. The
Covid situation continues to hinder the launch of investment projects for external partners, but
negotiations are actively ongoing with a number of partners.
In 2021, due to the periodical nature of major jobs, power plant operation and maintenance (O&M)
services provided to third parties entailed lower costs compared to the previous year, with unchanged
technical standards and high satisfaction levels of clients. In January, 2022, the contract for the operation
of the BC Power Plant was renewed for another 15 years, ensuring a stable, predictable coverage for the
business.

Maintenance business
For the Maintenance business, 2021 went according to plan. Besides individual profit in 2020, revenues
in 2021 also reflect a stable return on operations. The 2022 objectives for the business seem increasingly
promising as the effects of Covid wane. A sign pointing toward this is that the business concluded
contracts with a number of existing partners and new clients at the end of 2021.
E-mobility
Launched in 2020, this business is still finding the market niche corresponding to the state of the
industry, and is still in the pre-growth phase. The mobility business was particularly affected by Covid-
related restrictions; however, experts used the temporary inactivity in the business to develop the
concept and products. This temporary period of inactivity allowed for the implementation of pilot
projects. Charging points were installed at Praktiker stores, Wallis Motor dealerships and a number of
office buildings (WING Infopark, Liget Center) in 2021 within the framework of these pilot projects.
Chargers of ALTE Go Kft. are also available in parking lots of the Hunguest Hotel chain. There are ongoing
negotiations with market actors in vehicle distribution and building construction industry to ensure the
availability of a high number of charging points. The e-mobility business is the business line of the future
and an investment for the present, being a key priority in ALTEO’s strategy.
Waste management
Due to downward waste trends, this business underperformed in 2021 compared to 2020. Owing to the
slow recovery in the HORECA sector after Covid, the market for liquid raw material base also shifted,
while the evolution of prices on the feed market resulted in changing market conditions.
In the packaged waste segment, the second half of 2021 saw a successful push towards the market of
inorganic waste from retail chains, an increase in volume and new partners gained, promising growth
for the business in 2022.

1.3.4 Energy retail segment
The Group’s energy trading activity involves selling electricity and natural gas on the free market.
The Group does not pursue any sales activities under universal service.
* For the definition and calculation of EBITDA, see Section IV.33 Financial reports.
Covid-related restrictions had a substantial negative impact on the profits of the segment in 2020,
resulting in a low base figure. In 2021, due to the expansion of the customer base and the reopening,
the segment has grown significantly compared to the base period. Thanks to new trends in the market,
which was previously hedged at a lower unit price, the volume of electricity not used by the various
consumers resulted in a selling position in the spot market, which contributed to the segment's
outstanding result as a one-off profit-increasing item. Despite changing consumer trends, the volume of
electricity sold was higher than in the previous year as a result of our expanding portfolio. The gas trade
business also increased over the base period as a result of the volatility of the weather, a reduction in
the number of competitors and the expansion of our portfolio.
Presentation of components with an impact on sales revenue
The segment’s revenue in the first half of 2021 increased by HUF 4.4 billion over the same period in
2020. This revenue increase is attributable, in part, to increasing energy prices in the global market and,
in part, to the growth of the electricity trading business (HUF 3.2 million), while the revenue from the
gas trading activity also saw a significant growth of HUF 1.2 billion as compared to last year. Within the
segment, an overall increase was realized in the volume and revenue of both natural gas and
electricity sale transactions. The segment’s EBITDA was up by a total of HUF 1.1 billion compared to
2020.

Annual Report of ALTEO Nyrt. and its subsidiaries for 2021
The volume of natural gas sold increased from 249 GWh to 307 GWh (+24%), which is mainly the result
of the unusually unpredictable weather and also the entry of several new industrial consumers and the
portfolio expansion after the previous gas year.
As a result of the current situation in the global market, the
average gas sales price is nearly 16% higher than in the
previous year.
The volume of electricity sold increased from 495 GWh to
511 GWh (+3%), and the average sales price (in line with
the existing situation in the market) grew by 30%.
Material expenses represent the biggest cost item in this segment. We present the natural gas and
electricity procured and resold here. Nearly a third of the electricity was purchased from ALTEO’s Heat
and electricity generation segment presented above (from the operator of the Virtual Power Plant,
Sinergy Energiakereskedő Kft., which buys electricity products in part from own power plants and in part
directly from the exchange as a member of HUPX, and resells them).
Its operation requires the use of additional personnel and other costs, which changed insignificantly in
comparison with their value.
On January 1, 2021, the EKR system was launched through the amendment of Act LVII of 2015, requiring
energy suppliers to achieve energy savings in proportion to the amount of energy they sell to end-users.
Items related to this system are among the underlying reasons for the increase in other expenses.
Provisions for potentially non-paying customers were established more cautiously than in previous years
due to the epidemic and the volatile economic and market situation.

1.3.5 Other segment
Activities involving costs incurred in ensuring ALTEO’s long-term, transparent and successful operation
are shown in the “Other” segment. These include expenses of activities necessary for the purposes of
administration, participation in capital markets, publicity and leveraging future growth potential.
* For the definition and calculation of EBITDA, see Section IV.33 Financial reports.
The profit or loss of the Group’s “Other” segment is determined by the expenses related to the human
resources necessary to perform the aforementioned functions and other material expenses.
Material expenses were up by HUF 78 million over the previous year, primarily as a result of an increase
in consultancy fees related to the optimization of internal processes.
Personnel expenses in the segment were HUF 215 million higher compared to the previous year, mainly
due to recognition in line with the management compensation system published in December 21, 2020,
as well as wage hikes and staff increases related to the increase in company size.

the materials, equipment and work used to fit out and furnish the office space are shown as
fixed assets in the statement of financial position of the Group.
In Q4 2021, the development project for the recycling of car batteries under the KFI2 program
in Kazincbarcika was completed. The project generated HUF 1 billion new asset value and
provides 5MWh storage capacity.
Current assets increased by 113% (HUF 15.6 billion), with the change stemming from the following:
A HUF 6.9 billion increase in other financial assets, of which HUF 4.5 billion is attributable to a
change in the fair value of hedging transactions. The change in the situation in the global market
for energy products had a significant impact on the level of deposits and security deposits.
The value of deposits and security deposits on the reporting date showed an increase in excess
of HUF 1.5 billion.
The increase in the value of emission allowances followed sales growth. The Group made sure
to obtain and keep available the carbon dioxide emission allowances required to comply with
its obligations arising from gas consumption.
Trade receivables, and accrued income and deferred charges are in line with changes in the
volume of revenue between 2021 and 2020. Higher prices give rise to higher outstanding debt.
The price hike in the global market resulted in a HUF 7.9 billion increase compared to the debt
stock at the end of the previous year.
Equity increased by 122% (HUF 10.4 billion), with the change stemming from the following:
In 2021, the Group’s equity saw a growth of HUF 10.5 billion, of which HUF 5.8 billion is net profit and
HUF 4.9 billion corresponds to a change in the fair value of hedging transactions. Earnings per share in
2021 equaled to HUF 309.
Long-term liabilities decreased by 12% (HUF 3.4 billion), with the change stemming from:
With regard to loans, the Group decided not to make use of the moratorium in 2021. The asset-
financing loan related to the acquisition of a wind farm in 2020, worth HUF 0.9 billion, was
repaid prior to maturity. Early repayment, amounting to HUF 0.6 billion, was also made on
investment loans.
Debts on the issue of bonds decreased by HUF 2.2 billion to HUF 12.7 billion due to the
reclassification of short-term bond payables.
Finance lease liabilities increased by HUF 640 million to HUF 1.7 billion. A lease liability is
recognized by recording the 10-year lease on the head office. The opening balance includes
liabilities relating to the right of lease of the land belonging to the 13 wind turbines of the Bőny
wind farm, as well as the new liabilities arising from the renewal of the right of use of the land
25 / 48
Annual Report of ALTEO Nyrt. and its subsidiaries for 2021
belonging to the Zugló heat power plant, and liabilities relating to the rights of use of other
leased property and vehicles.
Deferred tax liabilities increased by HUF 621 million. A tax liability is recorded due to the
development reserve generated in 2021.
The HUF 0.9 billion decrease in other long-term liabilities is attributable to the revaluation of
interest rate swaps.
Short-term liabilities increased by 105% (HUF 8.8 billion), with the change stemming from:
Short-term bond payables amounted to HUF 2.3 billion, including the interest and principal
payments due within a year, reclassified from long-term bond liabilities.
As a result of the repayment of Investment and asset-financing loans prior to maturity, short-
term credit liabilities were reduced by HUF 0.5 billion.
Advances received were used.
The Group’s Trade payables, and accrued expenses and deferred income are in line with the
price hike in the global market, resulting in an increase of HUF 7 billion.
Owing to a higher profit, Income tax liabilities rose by HUF 0.1 billion.

2017 on the Prevention and Combating of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing.
Pursuant to Section 19(7) of the Act XVIII of 2005 on District Heating, Section 95(3) of the Act LXXXVI of
2007 on Electricity and Section 123(7) of the Act XL of 2008 on Natural Gas Supply, in the case of an

Meeting; however, in the context of decisions made pursuant to Section 13.5 of the Articles of
Association, the Board of Directors has the powers to amend the Articles of Association in compliance
with the relevant rules of the Civil Code.
Without specific authorization from the General Meeting, the Board of Directors may not make any
decision on issuing shares.
In its Resolution No. 13/2019. (IV.26.) the General Meeting of the Company repealed its previous
Resolution No. 3/2015. (XI.10.) on authorization and authorized the Board of Directors to adopt a
decision on the increase of the share capital of the Company at its own discretion, with at least four
members of the Board of Directors voting in favor. Pursuant to such authorization, the Board of Directors
may increase the share capital of the Company by up to HUF 150,000,000, calculated at the face value
of the shares issued by the Company, in aggregate (authorized share capital) in the five-year period
starting on April 26, 2019. The authorization shall cover all cases and means of share capital increase set
out in the Civil Code, as well as the restriction or exclusion of exercising preferential rights regarding
subscription for and takeover of the shares, as well as the adopting of decisions relating to the share
capital increase otherwise delegated by the Civil Code and other legislation and by the Company’s
Articles of Association to the competence of the General Meeting, including any amendment of the
Articles of Association necessitated by the capital increase.
Acting within the competence of the General Meeting, the Board of Directors adopted Resolution No.
8/2021. (IV.19.) to provide the Board of Directors with an authorization for a period of 18 (eighteen)
months starting on April 19, 2021, to adopt resolutions on the acquisition by the Company of shares of
all types and classes and of any face value, issued by the Company, supported by at least three quarters
of the votes that can be cast by the members of the Board of Directors, and to enter into and perform
such transactions for and on behalf of the Company, or to engage a third party for the conclusion of such
transactions. The number of shares that can be acquired based on the authorization is equal to a number
of shares with a total face value of no more than twenty-five per cent of the share capital, and the total
face value of own shares owned by the Company may not exceed this rate at any time. The own shares
can be acquired for or without consideration, on the stock market and through public offering or unless
the possibility is excluded by the law in over-the-counter trading. In the event of acquiring own shares

Hungarian forint), and the highest amount should be HUF 2,500 (two thousand five hundred Hungarian

2.7 The business environment of ALTEO, classification of risks according to their characteristics
The description and assessment of risks are included in Section III.2 Risks of the Financial Statements.
Changes in risks are presented in the financial statements.
2.8 Description of the policies applied in the ALTEO Group, detailing the results by policy
2.8.1 Environmental guidelines
The ALTEO Group prepared its Sustainability Report for the first time for its fiscal year 2016, detailing
our non-financial, social and environmental policies and our annual performance. We ensure the
relevance and transparency of our sustainability data by applying the GRI (Global Reporting Initiative)
Standards methodology, the most recognized international standard, in preparing our non-financial
reports, and by having these certified by a third party annually. We prepare a report on our
sustainability efforts every year and, since 2019, we have published it in the form of an Integrated
Report. Our Sustainability Reports published so far are available to all interested parties on this website:
https://alteo.hu/fenntarthatosag/fenntarthatosagi-jelentesek/. As our Integrated Report contains the
details of the Company's data, policies, objectives in connection with environmental protection and
sustainable business operations, this business report, based on the contents of the Integrated Report,
provides only a summary of environmental policies and results.
Our Integrated Management System, which includes the standards ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management
Systems, ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management Systems, ISO 45001:2018 Health & Safety
Management System and ISO 50001:2018 Energy Management Systems, has been extended to apply to
the entire ALTEO Group. The Integrated Management Policy (publicly available at
https://alteo.hu/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/alteo_integralt_politika.pdf)
is the fundamental document for this system, in which the company’s management commits itself to
providing quality services, safe work environment, energy efficiency, environmental protection and
sustainability.
In 2021, we ensured our compliance with the standards by conducting 44 internal audits covering the
operation of the Integrated Management System in compliance with all four standards at all of our sites
and organizational units.
In 2021, 10 HSE-type inspections were carried out by various authorities, which resulted in 4 logged
inspections. The inspections did not result in any compulsory orders or fines being imposed by the
authorities.
Since the residual fuel stock stored at the Győr Power Plant can no longer be used in power plant
technology and thus poses a significant environmental threat and fire hazard, the entire stock thereof
44 / 48
Annual Report of ALTEO Nyrt. and its subsidiaries for 2021
was removed from the site in 2021. The removal of the residual fuel oil stock involved the sale of nearly
137 tons of fuel oil and the disposal of 90 tons of hazardous waste.
A separate document, the Integrated Report 2021, will describe our environmental policies and the
associated results in detail.
2.8.2 Respect for human rights, ethics
The purpose of this section is to describe the significant risks to human rights compliance that may result
in adverse effects in the context of the Company's activities and how it manages those risks.
The ALTEO Group has established a Compliance Management System (hereinafter: “CMS”). The CMS is
designed to ensure compliance with laws, internal rules and the Group’s Code of Ethics in respect of the
entire Group.
The standards established in ALTEO Group’s Code of Ethics impose higher requirements on Group
employees compared to existing laws.
It is a useful guide which offers help and protection to our employees and provides information to our
partners about the standards of behavior endorsed and expected by our Group.
The standards established in ALTEO Group’s Code of Ethics impose higher requirements on Group
employees compared to existing laws.
In 2021, in line with ESG considerations and due to the two-year review, we amended the Code of Ethics,
with an increased focus on our commitment to basic human rights, meeting our sustainability objectives
and action against corruption and fraud. We have added to our core values: respect for human rights,
transparency, fair market practices, respect for others and integrity.
The Company is committed to respecting human rights. Respect for human rights includes, among
others: non-discrimination, freedom of thought, conscience and religion, freedom of expression, respect
for private and family life.
2.8.3 Fundamental rights in practice
The CMS fundamentally provides a supportive, preventive and control function to prevent damage and
abuse and minimize risk across the entire operation of the Company.
2.8.4 Policies applied in connection with the fight against corruption
The CMS fundamentally provides a supportive, preventive and control function to prevent damage and
abuse and minimize risk across the entire operation of the Company.
We firmly reject all forms of corruption and bribery, which are regarded as particularly serious ethical
violations in the context of government officials, suppliers and business partners. We apply zero
tolerance to all cases involving bribery or corruption.
45 / 48
Annual Report of ALTEO Nyrt. and its subsidiaries for 2021
We conduct our procurement procedures transparently and in accordance with our internal rules.
We assess potential suppliers on the basis of a pre-qualification process (also taking financial and legal
aspects into consideration). We do not enter into a business relationship with any supplier that does not
meet the Company’s requirements. We expect our business partners to know, accept and comply with
our Code of Ethics.
We operate a whistleblowing hotline for reporting corruption and fraud, but reports can also be made
via email or over the phone. We also provide whistleblowers with the possibility of anonymity.
In all cases of suspected corruption or fraud, we conduct an investigation in accordance with our internal
rules of procedures. The ALTEO Group firmly stands up for the principle that all forms of retaliation or
discrimination are unacceptable against whistleblowers who report suspected corruption or fraud, even
if a bona fide report does not result in the identification of any illegal or inappropriate acts.
In 2021, no cases of suspected corruption came to the Company’s knowledge.
Conflict of interest
The ALTEO Group is particularly dedicated to the detection and prevention of economic conflicts of
interest, therefore all new entrants must make a conflict-of-interest statement. In 2021, we reviewed
the employee conflict-of-interest statements of the entire Group. According to the review, there were
no employees who did not report their relationship with companies, other employment, etc.
RISK MAP Corruption index
In 2021, now for the seventh consecutive year, the ALTEO Group has prepared a compliance risk map
using a questionnaire to measure the Group-level risk index in finances, accounting, human resources,
corporate management and publicity in order to eliminate the potential for corruption, fraud and abuse.
An extended group of managers (28) completed the questionnaire this year. In order to fill the gaps
identified by the questionnaire, the Ethics, Compliance and Control entity organizes regular meetings
and provides ongoing support to the business areas on all compliance issues.
2.8.5 Employment policy
The employment policy of the ALTEO Group continues to focus on the retention, motivation and
development of existing employees and, at the same time, on the selection and integration of new ones.
We create an effective teamwork culture: we consider developing an innovative corporate culture and
establishing standards of behavior key strategic objectives. The Group believes that the loyalty and
motivation of their employees are founded on the stable workplace, good working conditions, complex
tasks and competitive wages provided by the Group. The physical safety of our employees always comes
first; we focus on their long-term commitment, assess their wellbeing through different measurements
and forums, and make efforts to maintain a partner like relationship with the Works Council. Every year,
46 / 48
Annual Report of ALTEO Nyrt. and its subsidiaries for 2021
we provide our employees with a cafeteria allowance, and we offer a wide variety of benefits within the
framework thereof, in accordance with the relevant laws.
At the end of 2021, the closing workforce headcount was 286, which is 8 more than in 2020; there were
7 part-time and 279 full-time employees. The number of employees with indefinite term contracts was
286. In 2020, 77% of the staff members were men and 23% were women. This gender ratio is basically
defined by the nature of the energy sector, as most of the staff deal with the operation of power plants.
At the same time, the Company aims to increase the proportion of women, which shows an improving
trend year after year.
ALTEO Nyrt. is considered an attractive workplace, as evidenced not only by the number of new entrants,
but also by the rate of staff turnover at 11%.
The Group consciously seeks to increase the proportion of the young generation within the organization,
since the management of the Company believes that ALTEO Group can provide professional
development and great opportunities to them. This is a fundamental criterion of maintaining ALTEO
Group’s quality services and reliable work performance, as the age pyramid of colleagues with great
expertise and work experience - who in many cases have been working in the energy sector for 30 years
- is very constrictive, with many set to retire in the coming years, and the Company strives to recruit
highly-trained and committed young colleagues to the positions that will be opening up down the line.
The expertise and experience obtained in various fields of the energy industry are the core values of
ALTEO Group. To ensure that ALTEO Group can provide high-quality services to its partners, it enables
its employees to deepen their knowledge via regular training courses. The objectives of the courses are
to enable our employees to improve their efficiency, to acquire critical qualifications for their work, and
to update and complement their existing knowledge base. The training offerings also include compulsory
courses prescribed by law or by internal regulations, as well as internal knowledge sharing.

Independent Auditor's Report
to the Shareholders of ALTEO Nyrt.
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of ALTEO Nyrt. (the „Company”) in the
ALTEO_egyedi_2021_EN
1
digital file for the year 2021 which comprise the statement of financial position
as at December 31, 2021 which shows an equal amount of total assets and total liabilities of
HUF 34 833 009 thousands , and the related statement of recognized income, statement of other
comprehensive income (which shows a net profit for the year of HUF 6 262 118 thousands), statement
of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended and notes to the financial
statements including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial
position of ALTEO Nyrt. as at December 31, 2021 and of its financial performance and its cash flows
for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted
by the European Union (the „EU IFRS”), and the financial statements were prepared in all material
respects in accordance with the provisions of the effective Hungarian Act C of 2000 on Accounting
(hereinafter: "the Accounting Act") relevant to the entities preparing financial statements in
accordance with EU IFRS.
Basis for the opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Hungarian National Standards on Auditing (“HNSA”) and with
applicable laws and regulations in Hungary. Our responsibilities under those standards are further
described in the “Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements” section of our
report.
We are independent of the Company in accordance with the applicable laws of Hungary, with the
Hungarian Chamber of Auditors’ Rules on ethics and professional conduct of auditors and on disciplinary
process and, as well as with respect to issues not covered by these Rules, with the International Code of
Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) issued by the
International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (the IESBA Code) and we also comply with further
ethical requirements set out in these.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our opinion.

Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our
audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of
our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not
provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key Audit Matter
How our audit addressed the Key Audit
Matter
Valuation of long-term investments in
subsidiaries
Refer to Notes V.11. in the financial statements
The Company owns several subsidiaries and
presents investments in a value of Thousand HUF
10,512,859 in the balance sheet under the
category of Long-term investments in
subsidiaries.
As required by the applicable accounting
standards, the management prepares regularly
(at least annually) impairment tests to assess
whether there is need for recording impairment
on investments. The Company has valued its
investments based on the future expected cash
flows and the shareholders‘ equity values of the
subsidiaries.
The impairment test is dependent on certain
assumptions, which bear uncertainty, thus the
value of investments may change in parallel with
the change of influencing factors.
Our audit procedures regarding the valuation of
long-term investments were as follows.
We have checked current year’s additions and
disposals of long-term investments by
reconciling them to the relating supporting
documents.
In course of our audit procedures relating to the
valuation of investments we have assessed the
management’s valuation and compared the data
and methodology used to the audited financial
data of the subsidiaries as well as to available
relevant external information.
We have checked the appropriateness of the
value of subsidiaries estimated by the
management by critically challenging the
reasonableness and validity of the calculation
method and the key assumptions used.
In course of our audit we have analysed the
future projected cash flows used in the model to
determine whether they are reasonable and
supportable for estimating expected future
performance of the investment.
We have checked the appropriate compliance
with relevant financial reporting standards,
accounting records and disclosures.

Key Audit Matter
How our audit addressed the Key Audit
Matter
Revenue recognition
Refer to Notes V.1. in the financial statements
Revenue is an important measure used to
evaluate the performance of the Company. As a
consequence, it needs to be ensured that the
revenue in the financial statements is real,
accurate and refers to the current year.
Revenue from sales transactions is recognized as
of the performance date based on the terms of
the delivery contracts.
Our audit work supporting the revenue
recognition included the following substantive
audit procedures.
Existence and accuracy of sales revenue have
been tested on a sample basis and the items
selected have been reconciled to turnover
confirmation letters as well as source
documents (invoice, contract, certificate of
performance).
We have tested on a sample basis the accuracy
of prepaid or deferred income.
Also, we have tested the credit notes issued
after the above balance sheet date in order to
ensure that they did not refer to sales revenue
recognized in the financial year of 2021.
We have applied analytical review procedures as
well for analysing sales turnover.
We have checked the appropriate compliance
with relevant financial reporting standards,
accounting records and disclosures.
Other issues
Management is responsible for the presentation of the financial statements in a form complying with the
requirements prescribed in the Article 3 of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/815 (17
December 2018) (“ESEF Regulation”). Our audit has referred to the human-readable layer of the digital
file, identified electronically in our report, containing the financial statements. The scope of our audit
has not referred to the audit of, and thus we do not express an opinion on whether the digitalized
information has been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the requirements of the ESEF
Regulation.

Other information
Other information comprises the information included in the business report of ALTEO Nyrt. for 2021.
Management is responsible for the other information and for the preparation of the business report in
accordance with the provisions of the Accounting Act and other relevant regulations. Our opinion on the
financial statements expressed in the “Opinion” section of our independent auditor’s report does not
cover the other information.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the
financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially
misstated. If based on our work performed we conclude that the other information is materially misstated
we are required to report this fact and the nature of the misstatement.
Furthermore, in accordance with the Accounting Act, our responsibilities regarding the business report
also include reviewing the business report to assess whether the business report was prepared in
accordance with the relevant provisions of the Accounting Act and other regulations, if any, including
the assessment whether the business report complies with the requirements of Section 95/B. (2) e) and
f) of the Accounting Act. Furthermore, in accordance with the Accounting Act we shall make a statement
whether the information referred to in Section 95/B. (2) a)-d), g) and h) has been provided in the
business report.
In our opinion, the business report of ALTEO Nyrt. for 2021 corresponds to the financial statements of
ALTEO Nyrt. for 2021 and the relevant provisions of the Accounting Act in all material respects. The
information referred to in Section 95/B. (2) a)-d), g) and h) of the Accounting Act has been provided. As
there is no other regulation prescribing further content requirements for the Company’s business report,
we do not express an opinion in this respect.
We are not aware of any other material inconsistency or material misstatement in the business report
therefore we have nothing to report in this respect.
Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union, 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 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 unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to
cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

The auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about 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 HNSAs 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 these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with HNSAs, we exercise professional judgment 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 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 in the
preparation of 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
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 Company to cease to continue as a going
concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including
the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and
events in a manner that gives a true and fair view.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the
planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant
deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant
ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other
matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related
safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that
were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore
the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation
precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine
that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so
would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements
In compliance with Article 10 (2) of Regulation (EU) No. 537/2014 of the European Parliament and the
Council, we provide the following information in our independent auditor’s report, which is required in

accordance with Article 11 of Regulation (EU) No. 537/2014 of the European Parliament and the Council.
Provision of Non-audit Services
We declare that no prohibited non-audit services referred to in Article 5 (1) of Regulation (EU) No.
537/2014 of the European Parliament and the Council were provided by us to the Company. In addition,

data reporting obligations for 2021 it has complied with the statutory requirement concerning its
disclosure obligation regarding publicly traded securities as set out in Decree 24/2008 (VIII. 15.) of the
Minister of Finance. The Company has fully complied with the requirements set out in Annex 1 to the
aforementioned legislative provision.
3. Statement of compliance with Act CXX of 2001 on the Capital Market
ALTEO EnergiaszolgáltaNyrt. (the Company) states that with regard to its individual data reporting
obligations for 2021 it has complied with the legal obligations concerning its disclosure obligation set

environmentally responsible energy supply based on the sustainable use of renewable energy.

Notes to the separate financial statement 2021 of ALTEO Nyrt.
17 / 104
The shares of the company, admitted to the Budapest Stock Exchange in 2010, have been listed on the
Equities Prime Market of the BSE since 2018, but ALTEO is a member of the Hungarian stock exchange
through its corporate bonds as well.
ALTEO strives to be not only a financially profitable, but also environmentally and socially sustainable
and responsible energy company. Throughout its operations, it is constantly seeking solutions that can
respond to the challenges of energy supply in a sustainable and also profitable manner.
The combination of these values created the concept of impact investment as an investment strategy.
This is an extremely popular concept in western countries but still relatively new in Hungary, with ALTEO
as a responsible company being one of the first representatives in the country. The essence of impact
investment is for a given investment to be also socially and environmentally sustainable, in addition to
generating financial returns. It is important to emphasize that the three factors together make up this
investment strategy, so in terms of its positive impact on the environment and society, it is not a
donation: return is clearly one of the most important measures of investment also in this case.
5. Basic information of ALTEO Nyrt.
The Company was founded on April 28, 2008 as a private limited company for an indefinite period of
time. The legal form was changed to public limited company as of September 6, 2010 and the company
was listed on the Budapest Stock Exchange.

6. The basis for preparation of the financial statements
These financial statements present the financial position, performance and financial situation of ALTEO
Energiaszolgáltató Nyilvánosan Működő Részvénytársaság. The Company first published separate
financial statements prepared under IFRS for its 2017 business year.
These Financial Statements were prepared in accordane with Act C of 2000 on Accounting (“Accounting
Act”) as currently in force. In accordance with the Accounting Act's rules for the preparation of IFRS
financial statements, the International Financial Reporting Standard (“IFRS”) established by the
International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), as endorsed by the European Union, applies. Where
an IFRS does not provide detailed guidelines for certain rules but the Accounting Act has such rules, the
provisions of the Accounting Act shall be applied.
Beside the above, the Company prepared the financial statements considering the provisions of Decree
No. 24/2008 (VIII. 15.) of the Minister of Finance on the detailed regulations on information obligation
in connection with the securities trade on the stock exchange and Act CXX of 2001 on the Capital Market.
These financial statements contain information for a comparable period and were prepared based on
the same principles.
Going concern requirement
The Company’s Board of Directors determined that the Company will be able to continue as a going
concern, which means that there are no signs that would imply that the Company intends to terminate
or significantly reduce its operations in the foreseeable future (within one year from the reporting date).
Critical accounting assumptions and estimates
The Company generally measures its assets on a historical cost basis, except for cases where a given
item should be measured at fair value under the IFRSs. In the financial statements the trading financial
instruments, the derivatives and in certain situations the assets held for sale had to be evaluated at fair
value.
Preparation, approval and publication of the financial statements
The Company’s CEO acting on behalf of the Board of Directors ensures that the Company’s financial
statements and the related Separate Business (Management) Report are prepared. The Board of
Directors publishes the finished financial statements and the Separate Business (Management) Report
and submits them to the General Meeting after having them reviewed by the Supervisory Board.
The Company publishes its financial statements at its places of disclosure.

7. Key elements of the accounting policy
Presentation of the separate financial statements
The separate financial statements of ALTEO Nyrt. comprise the following (parts):
separate statement of financial position;
separate statement of income;
separate statement of other comprehensive income;
separate statement of changes in equity;
separate statement of cash flows;
notes to the separate financial statements.
The Company has decided to present the separate statement of income and other comprehensive
income in separate statements.
The Other comprehensive income line presents items that increase or decrease net assets (i.e. the
difference between assets and liabilities) and where such decrease may not be recognized against any
asset, any liability or profit or loss, but instead they change an element of equity directly in connection
with the broadly defined performance of the Company. Other comprehensive income does not include,
amongst others, equity transactions which result in a change in the available equity and transactions
conducted by the Company with the owner acting in its capacity as owner.
Currency of presentation of the financial statements
The Company’s functional currency is the Hungarian Forint. The financial statements were drawn up in
HUF (presentation currency) and the figures displayed are in thousand HUF unless otherwise indicated.
The foreign currency relevant to the Company is the Euro. The exchange rate of the currency in the
reporting period was as follows (currency unit per HUF according to the exchange rates of the Central
Bank of Hungary):
Currency 12/31/2021 2021 average 12/31/2020 2020 average
euro (EUR) 369.00
358.57
365.13
351.17
Significant decisions regarding presentation
The financial statements cover a period of one calendar year. The reporting date of the financial
statements for each year is the last day of the calendar year, i.e. December 31. The Company prepares
and publishes separate financial statements annually. No interim separate financial statements are
prepared.
The financial statements contain one set of comparative data, except when the figures for a period had
to be restated or when the accounting policies had to be amended. In such cases, the opening figures of
the statement of financial position for the comparative period are also presented.
Notes to the separate financial statement 2021 of ALTEO Nyrt.
22 / 104
In the event an item needs to be reclassified for comparative presentation purposes (e.g. due to a new
line in the financial statements), the figures for the previous year are adjusted by the Company so as to
ensure comparability.
The Company discloses operating segment information in the notes to the financial statements.
Operating segments are determined in accordance with the strategic requirements of the management.
The Company’s management established the following segments:
Name of segment
Description of segment
Operation Business
Operation and maintenance of power plants
Ventures and Power Plant
Construction Business
Construction
-
installation activities
Other
Other non
-
segment activities and central administration.
The activity of the Company is limited to Hungary only, the management did not consider it necessary
to establish regional segments for the area of the country.
Changes in comparative data
The previous IFRS financial statement of the Company was drawn up for the fiscal year of 2020. The
financial statements contain one set of comparative data, except when the figures for a period had to
be restated or when the accounting policies had to be amended. In such cases, the opening carrying
values for the comparative period are also presented by the Company.
In the event that an item needs to be reclassified for presentation purposes (e.g. due to a new line in
the financial statements), the figures for the previous year are adjusted by the Group so as to ensure
comparability.
Accounting policies related to the separate statement of income
Revenues
The Company accounted for its revenues in accordance with the rules of IFRS 15.
IFRS 15 established a unified model for revenues originating from contracts. With the help of the unified
five step model the standard determines when and in what amount do revenues have to be recognized.
The standard states explicit expectations for the situation when several elements are transferred to the
customer at the same time. IFRS 15 describes two methods for timing the recognition of revenue:
revenue accounted for at a given time and during a given period. The IFRS 15 standard also creates
theoretical rules concerning what happens with the costs in connection with acquiring and providing -
not recognized elsewhere - the contract. The standard does not apply to financial instruments; they are
regulated by IFRS 9.
Notes to the separate financial statement 2021 of ALTEO Nyrt.
23 / 104
According to the IFRS 15 standard, revenue elements shall be accounted for in accordance with the
termination of performance obligations. Performance obligations shall be considered as terminated
when an entity transfers the control over the goods or services to the buyer. Revenues must be
accounted for when the Company realized them - that is, if the Company contractually performed
towards its customers and the financial settlement of the claim (the realization of the economic
advantage in connection with the transaction by the company) is likely, and the amount of that and the
related costs can be adequately (reliably) measured.
The Company does not recognize items collected on behalf of other entities to be recharged later as part
of revenue because the Company has no control over these items. The Company identified the following
as such items:
Name
Content of item
Products, services
acquired for third parties
in agent status and
forwarded in unchanged
form
If forwarding a given
procurement (service or product) is done in the
same form in unchanged amount by the Company and no practical risk
arises on the part of the Company in connection with this, then reselling
is done in an “agency structure” and the item is no part of the revenue.
Value added tax
Value added tax within the meaning of Act CXXVII of 2007.
In connection with the customer contracts, the Company applies the 5-step model specified in the
standard. In most of the existing contracts, the date of performance is not separate from the billing
period, therefore, the realization of the revenues is not separate from the actual billing. Regarding
contracts where several elements are transferred (or are recognized as being transferred) to the buyer
at the same time, the Company realizes of the revenue – allocates it to contractual elements or periods
– according to the underlying economic content.
The following contracts or contractual elements are included in this category:
general construction-installation contracts
overhaul component in operation and maintenance contracts
In the case of general construction-installation contracts, revenues are accounted for depending on the
stage of completion of the project in question. The determination of the stage of completion shall be
performed proportionately to the ratio of any actually occurred costs to the total planned costs. If, in
the case of the project as a whole, a loss may be expected, that expected loss must be accounted for
immediately.
The Company performs individual assessments and investigations of its buyers’ contracts. Due to the
individual character of the contracts, the portfolio method is not applicable, either to the contract
portfolio or any part thereof.
Wherever a contract or a contractual element contains a significant financing element which is more
favorable than the market practice, with the deferral of payment exceeding one year, then that financial
Notes to the separate financial statement 2021 of ALTEO Nyrt.
24 / 104
component must be recognized separately. In such cases, only the present value of the invoiced
consideration can be accounted for as revenue. The Company found that its contracts do not contain
such an element.
Contractual assets
If, in connection with a long-term contract, costs directly related to that contract incur where the return
is guaranteed by the contract for the full contractual period, these costs shall be recognized as assets
related to that contract and amortized over the term of the contract. Such elements may include various
legal, intermediation and contingency fees.
The Company presents any proceeds from leases strictly related to its activities as revenues.
Expenses related to operation
Non-finance expenses are to be classified as follows:
material expenses;
personnel expenses;
depreciation and amortization.
Other revenues and expenses
Other income recognized by the Company includes the consideration for sales that cannot be classified
as revenue, as well as any income that cannot be considered finance income or an item increasing other
comprehensive income. Other expenses include those that are directly related to operations and are
not classified as financial expenses or do not reduce other comprehensive income. Other income and
other expenses are recognized by the Company in the statement of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income as net figures.
Finance income and expenses
The Company accounts for its finance income and expenses according to the IFRS 9 regulation.
IFRS 9 introduced the expected impairment model. The basis of determination is the expected
impairment, as opposed to the objective, incurred (already happened) impairment. The expected
impairment model brings the time of recognizing (occurrence) of impairments closer. The accepted
model includes the simplified method that allows it for the entity to apply rules other than the complex
ones in connection with certain financial assets (e.g.: trade receivables and similar instruments).
IFRS 9 regulates hedge accounting anew as well; according to this, far more connections (economic
phenomena) will meet the conditions of the application of hedge accounting, and the previous
conditions of compliance (extent of efficiency, proving the existence of efficiency) are relaxed.
Notes to the separate financial statement 2021 of ALTEO Nyrt.
25 / 104
Dividend income and interest income are recognized as finance income. Interest income shall be
accounted for on a pro rata temporis basis. Dividend income must be recorded if a final decision on
dividend payment has been made by the entity disbursing such dividend. Interest expenses are
calculated using the effective interest rate method and are classified as financial expenses. Exchange
differences on foreign currency items (if not a part of other comprehensive income under IAS 21 - The
Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates) are recognized by the Company in finance income. The
Company shows finance income in its statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income after
offsetting.
Income taxes
The following are recognized as income tax:
corporate tax (Act LXXXI of 1996 on Corporate Tax and Dividend Tax)
income tax on energy suppliers (Act LXVII of 2008 on Enhancing the Competitiveness of District
Heating Services)
local business tax (Act C of 1990 on Local Taxes)
innovation contribution (Act LXXVI of 2014 on Scientific Research, Development and Innovation)
In 2017, the Company ceased to be subject to income tax on energy suppliers.
Consolidated (Presentation of net balances)
In addition to the requirements under IFRS, the impact of a transaction is recognized in the Company’s
financial statements on a net basis if the nature of the given transaction requires such recognition and
the item in question is not relevant to business operations (e.g. sale of a used asset outside business
operations).
Discontinued activities
According to the provisions of the standard, the Company recognizes its discontinuing operations
separately, if they are significant. It does not qualify as a discontinuing operation if the legal form of a
given activity gets changed but the underlying economic content does not change significantly. It is no
longer presented separately for 2021 and 2020.
Application and concept of EBITDA
Although the IFRS does not use the concept of EBITDA, the Company decided to use this often used
indicator as well, considering that it is widely used in the industry and that, in the Company’s opinion,
recognizing this value is useful for users of the financial statements as it has information content.
The indicator is calculated as follows:
EBITDA = Net profit or loss
+ finance income
+ profits taxes
+ depreciation and amortization
Notes to the separate financial statement 2021 of ALTEO Nyrt.
26 / 104
For discontinuing activities, if any, the net profit or loss containing the profit or loss of that activity must
be modified by the following items.
Finance income: the Company adjusts the net income with all the items in the finance income (effective
interest, exchange rate differences, etc.) so the Company fully neutralizes the effect of the finance
income when calculating this indicator.
Income taxes: income taxes in the net profit or loss (current and deferred taxes alike) are neutralized by
the Company when calculating the indicator.
Depreciation and amortization: the depreciation, amortization of assets belonging under IAS 16, IAS 40
and IAS 38 and assets recognized at the Company as assets and given to operating lease or concession
is eliminated when calculating the indicator (they are “given back”). The non-systematic decrease of
such assets (typically: impairment) is adjusted by the Company retroactively, similar to depreciation and
amortization. We do not adjust the impairment of other assets, financial instruments (e.g. trade
receivables, inventories) when calculating the indicator. However, the amount of any adjustments
recognized in respect of the measurement of certain liabilities (e.g. amortization, revaluation of a
deferred purchase price) is adjusted.
EPS - earnings per share the shareholders are entitled to
When calculating earnings per share, the Company presents them in the consolidated financial
statements based on the net profit or loss concerning the ALTEO Group. The EPS indicators of the
individual IFRS report are presented in the numeric reports of the financial statements.
Accounting policies relating to the statement of financial position and the recognition and
measurement of assets and liabilities
Property, plant and equipment
Only assets which are used in production or for administrative purposes and are used for at least one
year after commissioning are classified by the Company as property, plant and equipment. In terms of
their purpose, the Group makes a distinction between production and non-production (other) assets.
The initial carrying amount of an asset comprises all items which are related to the purchase or creation
of the given asset, including borrowing costs (for details, see the accounting policy on borrowing costs).
If an asset needs to be removed or demolished at the end of its useful life (or if the given asset is no
longer used, it is sold or abandoned), then the costs incurred to retire it (asset retirement obligation or
ARO) are added to the initial value of the asset and a provision is recognized in this respect, given that
the Company has at least a constructive obligation for the retirement. No provisions are made for ARO
is the estimated expense of deconstruction is not significant, that is, it remains under HUF 500,000.
Assets that belong together are reviewed as a group and if the decommissioning costs of a group of
Notes to the separate financial statement 2021 of ALTEO Nyrt.
27 / 104
assets that belong together is significant in total, then provisions must be made for ARO concerning the
group of assets.
The Company estimates the ARO using a percentage coefficient between 0% and 10%. The Company
used a discount rate of 8.57% for discounting in 2021. For the present PPE inventory, no ARO need to
be recognized.
The discounted liability is increased each year, taking into account the passing of time (unwinding of the
discount) and future changes in the estimation of unwinding costs. The increase in the liability arising
from the unwinding of the discount is accounted for as interest expense.
The Company uses the component approach, which means that the parts of a physically uniform asset
which have different useful lives are treated separately, mainly in the case of production assets.
The Company measures the fixed assets subsequent to initial recognition using the cost model (initial
value reduced by accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses).
The base of depreciation is the initial cost reduced by the residual value. Residual value is determined if
its amount is significant. Residual value is equal to the income that can be realized after the asset is
decommissioned, reduced by the cost of disposal.
The Company calculates depreciation for each component on the basis of the depreciable value and
uses the straight-line depreciation method.
The following depreciation rates are used for assets:
Asset
group
Extent of depreciation
Land
non
-
depreciable
Buildings
1
5%
Power plant equipment
1
20%
Non
-
production machinery
14
33%
Office equipment
14
50%
The useful life of each component must be reviewed, and it must be determined whether the asset can
be utilized during its remaining useful life and whether the residual value is realistic. If not, then the
depreciable amount and/or the residual value are adjusted for the future.
The value of a fixed asset is increased by significant repair projects which involve substantial cost and
occur regularly but not every year. These projects are treated by the Company as a component of the
given asset and the Company examines whether the asset’s useful life is aligned with the next (expected)
occurrence of such projects.
Income from the sale of a fixed asset is recognized among other items, with the remaining carrying
amount of the asset deducted. Expenses arising upon the scrapping of fixed assets are also recognized
among other items. Only expenses are accounted for in this case and no income.

Intangible assets
The initial recognition cost of intangible assets is determined using the method described in the case of
fixed assets.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized; instead, they are subject to impairment
testing in each period or immediately when there is an indication of impairment.
For all other intangible assets, the existence of any contractual periods which restrict the use of such
rights must be considered. In such cases, the depreciation period may not be longer (though it may be
shorter) than this period. By default, the term of the contract is accepted as the useful life.
For software and other similar intangible assets, straight-line amortization rates of 20% to 33% are used.
Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets are uniformly measured using the cost model. The
residual value of intangible assets is considered zero, unless proven otherwise.
Internally developed assets
The Company management considered the recognition of internally developed assets.
In the opinion of the Company’s management, the development activity aimed at generating other
intangible assets meets the IAS 38 recognition criteria and the know-how created as a result of the
activity will be recovered through increased income or reduced costs. The cost of the development
project is recognized among intangible assets. The cost of intangible assets shows the certified and
accrued expenses directly related to the project.
Leases
Leases are contractual arrangements where the owner of an asset transfers the right to use that asset
in return for a series of payments.
The Company applies the recognition exceptions provided by IFRS 16 for short-term leases and low value
assets (below USD 5,000). No right-of-use asset and associated liability are recognized for leases where
the indefinite duration and the related contractual termination conditions, or the absence of a fixed fee
element, do not permit such a determination.
The leasing component must be separated in the case of complex sales or supply contracts where one
of the contractual elements meets the standard’s conditions.
For the initial recognition of a lease, in the case of establishment of the value of the right of use and the
obligation, the existing comparative data of the ALTEO Group must be used when determining the
market interest rate. If such data are not available, the statistics published by the Central Bank of
Hungary shall be taken into account. The right-of-use asset is amortized taking into account the same
useful life as the lease term.
For contracts with a term of more than 12 months and high value, the initial cost of the right-of-use
asset is determined by the Company at the discounted present value of payments due for the remaining

lease term. For establishing the market interest rate the Company used the statistics published by the
Central Bank of Hungary....
Borrowing costs
In accordance with the provisions of IAS 23, borrowing costs are capitalized by the Company if it uses
the loan to finance a qualifying asset. For dedicated borrowings (those that are assigned to a specific
purpose), the amount to be capitalized is determined using the effective interest rate of the borrowing.
For general purpose borrowings, the capitalization rate is calculated manually. The capitalization rate is
the average of the effective interest rates of general purpose borrowings weighted by the time elapsed
since the date of payment or, if later, the time elapsed since the start of capitalization and the amount
of the payment.
An asset (project) can be considered as a qualifying asset as follows:
if a construction contract is involved that is longer than six months;
if an asset is involved whose construction, preparation or transformation takes longer than six
months (regardless of whether the asset in question is created by the Company or third parties).
The classification is independent of the value of the asset.
The capitalization of borrowing costs starts when an irrevocable commitment to acquire the asset or
implement the project exists or is probable. For assets, this is usually when the cost necessary to build
the asset is incurred; for projects, this occurs when the actual work begins or, if planning is also done by
the Company, the start of the preparation of the plan subject to the licensing process.
The capitalization of borrowing costs is suspended if work is interrupted for a period of time that is
longer than technologically reasonable.
The capitalization of borrowing costs is finished when the asset is ready or when the actual work on the
project is completed or, if earlier, the asset created in the course of the project is in use or its use has
been approved.
Government grants
As a general rule, grants are recognized by the Company as income. Income is distributed over the
periods for which it is granted. The part that cannot be credited to profit or loss is recognized in liabilities
as deferred income. Items to be credited to profit or loss are deducted from the related expenses where
possible.
If a grant is related to expenses, then such grant is principally accounted for by reducing expenses. If this
is not possible (e.g. asset-related grant), it is recognized as other income.
In the case of asset-related grants, the revenue recognition period is during which the subsidized asset
is used.
Notes to the separate financial statement 2021 of ALTEO Nyrt.
30 / 104
Grants may be accounted for if
it is essentially certain that the Company will meet the requirements for the grant, and
it is certain that the Grant will be awarded to the Group.
In the event that a grant must be repaid subsequently, a liability is recorded when this becomes known
by increasing the value of the asset or the expense.
If any advance is paid against the government grant, it must be recognized among liabilities. In the case
of such a grant construct deferred income may only be recognized if the grant settlement is done.
In accordance with the above principle, the Company recognizes assets received without consideration
as assets by recording deferred income (liability) against the asset (as a result, emission quotas received
from the government without consideration is recognized as assets at their fair value).
Assets held for sale
Non-current assets whose carrying amount will be recovered principally through an imminent sale
transaction rather than through continuing use are classified as assets held for sale. Assets held for sale
also include so-called disposal groups which comprise assets and closely related liabilities that are
expected to be disposed of subsequently as part of a transaction (e.g. a subsidiary to be sold).
This classification may be used if it is highly probable that the sale in question will be completed within
one year from the date of classification and the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale
in its present condition, the activities necessary for the sale to take place are underway and the asset or
disposal group is being offered at a reasonable price.
Assets held for sale are separately presented by the Company in its statement of financial position and
their value is not included in either non-current or current assets. These assets are not depreciated by
the Company and are measured at the lower of their carrying amount as at the reporting date and fair
value less the cost of disposal. The resulting difference is recognized by the Company against profit or
loss.
If an asset needs to be subsequently reclassified as a non-current asset due to the fact that the
conditions of classification are no longer met, then after the reclassification the asset is measured at the
lower of the value adjusted by the unrecognized depreciation and the recoverable amount. The resulting
difference is recognized in profit or loss.
Inventories
Inventories are stated in the financial statements at the lower of their cost or net realizable value. The
Company determines the closing value of inventories based on their average cost and the value of
inventories includes all costs which are required for the use of inventories in the intended manner and
at the intended location.
Notes to the separate financial statement 2021 of ALTEO Nyrt.
31 / 104
Accounting for impairment losses other than financial instruments and identifying CGUs
The Company tests its assets for impairment each year. Testing consists of two stages. The first stage is
to examine whether there are signs indicating that the assets in question are impaired. The following
may be signs that a given asset is impaired:
damage;
decline in income;
unfavorable changes in market conditions and a decline in demand;
increase in market interest rates.
If an asset is impaired, the appropriate value calculation needs to be performed, which allows the
recoverable amount of the asset to be determined (this is the second step). The recoverable amount is
the higher of the fair value of the asset reduced by the cost of disposal and the present value of the cash
flows derived from continuous use.
If the value in use of a group of assets cannot be determined as it does not generate any cash flows itself
(it is not in use), the test is performed with respect to the cash-generating units (CGUs).
If the value in use can only be determined with respect to the CGUs and impairment needs to be
accounted for, impairment losses are split as follows:
first, damaged assets are impaired;
second, the remaining amount of impairment losses are split among fixed assets (PPE) and
intangible assets in proportion to their carrying amount prior to impairment.
The value of assets may not drop below their fair value reduced by their individual cost of disposal.
Provisions
Only existing liabilities which are based on past events and have uncertain value and timing may be
recognized as provisions. No provisions may be recognized for liabilities which are not linked to present
legal or constructive obligations.
If the existence of a liability cannot be clearly identified, then a provision may only be recognized if its
existence is more likely than not (probable obligation). If the probability is lower than this, a contingent
liability is disclosed (possible obligation). Such items may not be shown in the statement of financial
position; instead, they are presented in the notes to the financial statements.
Provisions are shown as liabilities and are classified as non-current and current liabilities. If the time
value of money in respect of a provision is considered material (as it will be due in the distant future),
the expected cash flows are discounted. The time value of money is considered material if cash flows
are still generated after 3 years or even later.
Notes to the separate financial statement 2021 of ALTEO Nyrt.
32 / 104
The following items are typically included in provisions:
onerous contracts
compensation payable in relation to legal cases;
indemnification or compensation based on an agreement;
warranty liabilities;
asset decommissioning liabilities;
severance pay and costs arising due to restructuring;
If a decision needs to be made in respect of a specific obligation, then the value of the provision will be
the most likely unique outcome, while the effect of all remaining outcomes must be reasonably taken
into account. If the value of the provision needs to be estimated based on a set of data (guarantees,
payments concerning a large number of persons), then the fair value (probability-weighted average) of
the expected outcomes is used as the value of the provision.
If a contract has been signed by the Company where the costs arising from the contract exceed the
benefits derived therefrom, then a provision is recognized for the lower of the legal ramifications of a
failure to carry out the contract and the losses arising from executing the contract (onerous contracts).
A restructuring provision (e.g. for severance pay) may be recognized if there is a formal plan for the
restructuring which has been approved and communicated to those affected. Provisions may be
recognized for costs associated with discontinued operations. But no provision can be recognized for
continuing operations (e.g. cost of retraining or relocation).
No provisions may be recognized for:
future operating losses;
“safety purposes” to cover unforeseeable losses;
write-offs (e.g. for the write-down of receivables and inventories) - these reduce the value of
the relevant assets.
Employee benefits
The Company provides predominantly short-term employee benefits to its employees. These are
recognized by the Company in profit or loss after they have vested.
Employee bonuses and other items of similar nature are shown in the statement of financial position if
they result in liabilities, i.e.
if they are subject to a contractual condition and such condition has been fulfilled (e.g. a given
revenue level is reached); in such cases, the item is accounted for not in the period when the
Group established that the contractual condition was fulfilled, but in the period when such
condition was fulfilled (when the employees rendered the service entitling them to the benefit).
if such an item is created as a result of a management decision instead of a contractual
condition, then the item may be recognized when the decision is communicated to the company
affected (constructive obligation).
Notes to the separate financial statement 2021 of ALTEO Nyrt.
33 / 104
The Company operates a defined contribution retirement benefit plan only and the contribution is
calculated on the basis of salaries paid; therefore, such contribution is accounted for at the same time
as salaries.
The Company operates in a legal environment in which employees are entitled to paid leave. If there is
a legal possibility or an agreement between the employer and employees which provides that any
unused leave may be carried forward to subsequent years, then a liability is recognized against employee
benefits with respect to such unused leave accrued by the end of the year.
Financial instruments
Financial instruments are contracts which create financial assets for one party and financial liability or
equity instruments for the other party. Financial instruments include financial assets, financial liabilities
and equity instruments.
Financial assets
These include cash, equity instruments of another entity, contractual rights which entitle the Company
to future cash flows as well as those which entitle the Company to exchange financial instruments at
potentially favorable conditions.
Financial assets are classified by the Company as follows:
a) debt
b) equity instrument
c) derivatives
a) In the case of debt instruments:
Loans and receivables (assets evaluated at amortized cost): this group includes financial assets with fixed
(or at least determinable) cash flows that are not quoted in an active market and are not classified into
any of the remaining three categories. The Company typically records the following items in this
category:
loans given
trade receivables
advances received
other receivables
The purpose of holding these assets is to collect contractual cash flows, that is, these assets are held by
the Company not for trading purposes, and not for achieving short-term profits based on these
instruments. These assets are priced at fair value and the follow-up valuation is performed based on
amortized cost. The valuation of the assets is performed individually. At present, the Company has no
assets with massive multiplicity or assets with similar characteristics in the case of which the portfolio
method could be applied.
Notes to the separate financial statement 2021 of ALTEO Nyrt.
34 / 104
b) Capital instruments include only assets that represent a shareholding and do not fall within the
scope of the standards regulating group accounts, that is, are not subsidiaries, joint organizations or
associates.
c) Derivatives include all instruments whose value is a function of a change in an underlying
variable; their initial investment need is negligible and their settlement takes place in the future. In the
case of the Company, these are typically derivative transactions, except where the rules on hedge
accounting provide otherwise. If the Company concludes a transaction (such as forward foreign
exchange contracts or interest rate swaps) which do not comply with the hedge accounting rules, these
will be classified as FVTPL.
Financial liabilities must be classified into the following groups.
Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss: derivative transactions and forward
contracts acquired for trading purposes are included by the Company in this category. Typically, the
Company does not enter into contracts which result in such financial assets, with the exception of
forward foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps.
Other financial liabilities: All other financial liabilities are classified into this category. Typical items
include:
trade payables;
loan payables;
bond payables;
advances received from customers.
Issued instruments that represent an interest in the residual assets of the Company and no repayment
obligation is attached thereto are classified by the Company as equity instruments.
At initial recognition, all financial instruments are measured by the Company at fair value. Transaction
costs are capitalized unless the instrument is classified as FVTPL. In this case the transaction cost is
expensed.
In the case of a follow-up valuation based on amortized cost, the rules applicable to follow-up valuation
of financial instruments are:
Items not resulting in interest expense or interest income
For initial measurement these items are measured at fair value. Fair value is the present value of the
expected future cash flows. Where the time value of money is material, the item is discounted. For
subsequent measurement purposes these items are measured at amortized cost.
The value of a receivable is reduced by write-offs if such receivable is not settled after 180 days from its
due date or there is any other indication at the reporting date which requires impairment to be
recognized. Receivables that have been overdue for more than one year may only be shown in the
financial statements with a value assigned to them if there is an agreement on deferred payment or
Notes to the separate financial statement 2021 of ALTEO Nyrt.
35 / 104
rescheduled payment and the debtor has provided collateral. This rule is not applicable to tax assets.
Collective assessment is used for calculation of impairment in case of large portfolios of individually
insignificant assets based on statistical data.
In the case of liabilities, rules concerning delay are, accordingly, not applicable. An item may not be
reclassified as a long-term liability merely because the Company has failed to meet its payment
obligation. Only an irrevocable contractual commitment may provide a basis for reclassification. Items
which are repayable on demand (those that have no fixed maturity) are classified as short-term
liabilities.
Items resulting in interest expense or interest income
These items are measured at amortized initial recognition cost. The principles for calculating amortized
initial recognition cost are as follows: the Company determines the cash flows relating to the given
borrowing or receivable. In addition to principal and interest rate payments, these cash flows also
include all items directly associated with the given movement of cash (e.g. disbursement commission,
contracting fee, fee for the certification of the contract by a public notary, etc.) and the interest rate
(effective interest rate) at which the net present value of the cash flows will be zero is determined. The
interest expense for the period is calculated using this effective interest rate. Changes in interest rates
for a floating rate instrument may be accounted for only with respect to the future. If impairment needs
to be recognized with respect to such an asset (receivable), then the last applicable interest rate is used
by the Company as the effective interest rate.
The Company also issues bonds through public placement in order to fund its operations. Liabilities
resulting from the bonds are recognized using the effective interest method, i.e. the effective interest
rate is determined on the basis of all bond-related cash flows. For zero coupon bonds, the difference
between the issue price and the redemption price is regarded by the Group as interest.
The Company derecognizes financial assets when substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership
of the asset are permanently transferred to another entity or the asset is repaid or expired.
Financial liabilities are derecognized when they are discharged (e.g. settled) or when they no longer
need to be met for any other reason (e.g. expired or ended).
Application of the expected credit loss (ECL) model
The management of the Company updated its estimates for the model in the current year. The applied
rates were redefined by taking account of the risks associated with that business line. The extent of the
Company’s impairments is low, due to the receivable management processes developed in the past
years. In the case of the related transactions (including the majority shareholder, the WALLIS Group),
previously there was no need to account for impairment.
Hedge accounting
The Company has adopted the hedge accounting provisions of IFRS 9. In the case of cash flow hedge
transactions, in accordance with IFRS 9, the difference arising on hedge instruments is recognized in
other comprehensive income instead of net profit or loss to the extent of the effective portion, and the
Notes to the separate financial statement 2021 of ALTEO Nyrt.
36 / 104
resulting difference is accumulated in a separate reserve in equity (the cash flow hedging reserve). The
concerned part of this reserve is recognized in the statement of profit or loss when the hedged cash flow
(interest) occurs or when the hedge becomes ineffective.
To qualify for hedge accounting, the relevant transaction must be formally designated and there must
be evidence for hedge effectiveness.
Interest in other entities
The Company holds several investments in other entities that are consolidated or must be treated as
associates. In the separate financial statements, these shall be valued by the Company at their initial
recognition cost, reduced by accumulated impairment. Dividends received from a subsidiary are
recognized by the Company in the profits.
Detailed information relating to subsidiaries are provided in the presentation of ALTEO.
The net assets (assets and liabilities) of the subsidiary are recognized by the parent company in their
entirety. The part of the consolidated equity which is held after the acquisition and is attributable to the
Group is recognized by the Group as equity attributable to the parent company. Non-controlling
interests are recognized by the Group in proportion to net assets (at carrying amount) at each reporting
date and are not re-measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period.
The Group had no joint ventures. The cash flow generated by the companies involved in the
consolidation is freely available to the Group (there are no restrictions on access). The rate of control
within the Group is determined based on voting rights. The ownership-based rate of control in the Group
subsidiaries was not affected by any management contracts.
The Group has no interests where voting rights do not serve the management of the relevant activities
leading to control (structured entities).
None of the Group members qualify as an investment entity.
The Company recognizes its controlled subsidiaries at cost.
Share-based payments
The Company motivates certain senior employees with share option benefits within the framework of
an ESOP organization. The internal value of the share options in question must be accounted for as
expense under the vesting period in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 2 against personnel
expenses.
Upon the management’s decision, the Company grants Shares to the employees who have become
eligible to them on the basis of the Company’s recognition system. The number of shares corresponding
to the amount granted as a reward is determined by the market price effective on the date of the
transfer. The amount of the benefit must be accounted for as expense at the moment when it is granted,
in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 2, against personnel expenses.
Notes to the separate financial statement 2021 of ALTEO Nyrt.
37 / 104
Current income tax expense and deferred taxes
The actual income tax expense for the current year is calculated by the Company in accordance with the
applicable tax laws and is recognized in current liabilities (or current receivables, as the case may be). In
addition, deferred taxes are also estimated and are shown in long-term liabilities or non-current assets.
Deferred taxes are calculated using the balance sheet method, with the effects of subsequent changes
in tax rates taken into account. Deferred tax assets are recognized only if it is certain that the item in
question will be realized (reversed). Deferred taxes are determined using the tax rate effective at the
expected date of reversal.
General accounting policies relating to the statement of cash flows
The Company’s statement of cash flows is based on the indirect method for cash flows from operating
activities. Cash flows from investing activities and cash flows from financing activities are calculated
using the direct method. Overdrafts are regarded as cash equivalents until proven otherwise.
Equity
The Company recognizes the following items in the statements as parts of the equity:
Name of capital element
Content of capital element
Issued capital
Number of issued shares times the face value. The face value of
own shares bought back is deducted from the capital element
Reserves
The entirety of payments for the issued shares above their face
value, the value of transactions conducted with capital owners as
such, presenting allocations for the owners (e.g. part of the shares
bought back above face value) separately
Retained earnings
the amount of the cumulated profit or loss not paid as dividend
(that is, the aggregate profit or loss), development reserve
generated

Cash flow hedge reserve
Reserves established in accordance with the provisions of the
IFRS9 standard, based on the value of the non-realized cash flow
positions at the end of the period. Only the efficient part according
to the documentation of the cash-flow hedge transactions can be
recognized as part of the reserves.
In the notes the Company publishes information concerning the following shares with regards to all
classes of the share capital:
number of shares authorized for issuing;
number of shares issued and fully paid, and the number of shares issued but not yet fully paid;
face value of shares;
checking the number of shares in circulation at the beginning and the end of the period;
rights, preferential rights and limitations assigned to the share class in question, including
limitations concerning dividend payment and capital repayment;
shares owned by the Company or its subsidiaries or associates;
shares reserved to be issued under options and contracts concerning sale of shares, including
terms and amounts.

The Company prepares the equity correlation table prescribed in Section 114/B of the Accounting Act.
The equity correlation table contains the opening and closing data of the individual elements of equity
according to the IFRSs and, deduced from that, the opening and closing data of the following equity
elements:
Name of element
Content
Equity
amount of the equity according to the IFRSs, increased by the amount of the
received additional monetary contribution recognized as liabilities according
to the IFRSs, decreased by the amount of the paid additional monetary
contributions recognized as assets according to the IFRSs, increased by the
amount recognized as deferred income from the value of financial assets,
assets received to be transferred into capital reserve according to legal
regulations, decreased by the amount of the receivable recognized against
shareholders due to capital increase qualifying as capital instrument.
Issued capital
according to the
IFRSs
the issued capital as determined by the articles of association if it qualifies as
capital instrument.
Issued but yet
unpaid capital
the amount not yet at the disposal of the business entity from the issued
capital according to the IFRSs.
Capital reserve
the amount of all the elements of equity not belonging to the concepts of
issued capital, the issued but unpaid capital, the retained earnings, the
evaluation reserve, the profit after taxes or allocated reserve according to the
IFRSs.
Retained earnings
accumulated profit after taxes recognized in the annual report according to
the IFRSs not yet paid to the shareholders, including amount accounted for
the benefit or against the accumulated profit or loss according to the IFRSs; it
cannot contain other comprehensive income according to the standard IAS 1
Presentation of Financial Statements with the exception of reclassification
modifications. Amounts generated this way must be decreased by the
amount of the paid additional monetary contribution recognized as asset
according to the IFRSs and the amount of the unused development reserve
decreased by the related deferred tax calculated based on the standard IAS
12 Income Taxes.
Evaluation reserve
the cumulated amount of the other compre
hensive income in the
comprehensive income statements according to the standard IAS1
Presentation of Financial Statement also including the other comprehensive
income in the current year.
Profit or loss after
taxes
the concept defined in Section 114/A (9)
of the Accounting Act.
Allocated reserves
the amount of the received additional monetary contribution recognized as
liability according to the IFRSs, increased by the amount of the unused
development reserve decreased by the related deferred tax calculated based
on the standard IAS 12 Income Taxes.
When preparing the final statement of assets and liabilities in the case of transformation, the Company
settles negative capital elements from retained earnings during the settlement phase. However, these
capital elements are only reclassified with a view to the final statement of assets and liabilities.

Dividends
Dividend is paid on the Company’s registered, dematerialized ordinary A” series shares with a face
value of HUF 12.5, recorded with the identifier HU0000155726ISIN – excluding the treasury shares held
by the Group, as well as shares that do not entitle their holders to dividend pursuant to Section 3:298(3)
of the Civil Code.
Other accounting policies
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies
The Company determines its functional currency. The functional currency is the currency which reflects
the operation of the entity in question the most accurately. The Company’s functional currency is the
Hungarian Forint (HUF).
The points to consider are as follows:
which is the currency in which the majority of the entity's income is derived;
which is the currency in which the entity's costs are incurred;
which is the main financing currency.
The above considerations are listed in order of importance.
An entity may incur exchange differences on translation only with respect to a foreign currency.
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into forint using the foreign exchange rate announced
by the Central Bank of Hungary, effective on the day of performance. Incoming supplier and outgoing
customer invoices where the exchange rate calculation according to the provisions concerning the
determination of the tax base in forint, within the meaning of Act CXXVII of 2007 on the Value Added
Tax shall be applied, are exceptions.
During the year the realized exchange rate gain/loss amounts are from the difference between the
exchange rates effective on the day of performance and the day of financial performance; these
amounts are recognized by the Company among other incomes, expenses of financial transactions.
The Company classifies its assets and liabilities as monetary and non-monetary items. Monetary items
include those whose settlement or inflow involves the movement of cash, and also include cash itself.
Items relating to receivables or liabilities which do not involve the movement of cash (e.g. advances
given for services or inventories) do not qualify as monetary items.
At the reporting date, monetary items denominated in foreign currency are revalued to the spot rate
effective at the reporting date. For the purpose of translation, the Company uses the exchange rate for
the reporting date published by the Central Bank of Hungary.
Objectives of accounting system maintenance
The Company established the structure of its financial system (e.g. chart of accounts, analytics) beyond
the provisions of the IFRS so that data required by other fields of expertise can be retrieved.
Notes to the separate financial statement 2021 of ALTEO Nyrt.
40 / 104
Significance, faults and fault effects
According to the rules of the IFRS an item qualifies as significant if omission or false presentation of the
item can influence the decisions of users made based on the financial statements. Considering
significance the Company uses the value limit of the fault with a significant amount as defined in Act C
of 2000 on Accounting.
An item is always significant if the total amount (regardless of sign) of faults and fault effects increasing
or decreasing profits, equity, discovered in the year of discovering the fault, in the course of the series
of reviews - concerning the same year - exceeds 2 percent of the Company’s statement of financial
position total of the financial year under review. If 2% of the statement of financial position total exceeds
HUF 150 million, then the limit of significance is HUF 150 million. At the same time the management of
the Company reserves the right to qualify an item of smaller amount significant, depending on the
evaluation of the extent and nature of the omission or false presentation under the given circumstances.
When evaluating an item the size and nature of the item in question or the combination of the two is
the decisive factor.
With regards to their content, the faults can be omissions or false presentations in the financial
statements of the entity for one or more previous periods, originating from not using or improper usage
of reliable information. Such faults can be mathematical faults, faults in the application of the accounting
policy, disregarding or incorrect interpretation of facts and the effects of fraud.
Earlier periodical faults shall be corrected with retroactive re-establishment, except if the effects or
cumulative effects of the fault concerning individual periods are impossible to determine. Impossibility
occurs if the Company cannot correct a fault or cannot apply a new rule retroactively even after doing
everything that can be reasonably expected for the right application. The causes of impossibility can be
for example uncertainties of calculations due to the lack of available data.
8. Description of risks
The management of the Group considered and assessed the specific risk factors associated with the
ALTEO Group and the securities issued by the Company as well as the potential risks involved in making
an informed investment decision, based on the probability of the occurrence of such risks and the
anticipated extent of their negative impact. These Financial Statements only contain the risk factors that

a. Macroeconomic and legal system related risk factors
1.
Risks stemming from the legal system
The legal system can be considered relatively underdeveloped in Hungary—where the ALTEO Group
currently pursues its activities—and in the Company’s various strategic target countries. According to
conventional wisdom throughout these countries, legal regulations change quite frequently, authority
and court decisions are, on occasion, contradictory or inconsistent or difficult to construe. These
circumstances can make it difficult for the Company to perform its tasks in a manner fully compliant
with legal regulations, and this can expose the company to arbitration, litigious, non-litigious and other
risks of legal nature that affect its profitability.
2.
Macroeconomic factors
The ALTEO Group’s operations and profitability stands exposed to macroeconomic developments in
Hungary and the countries of the European Union, particularly to how economic growth and industrial
production, as well as the financial position of general government shapes up. Certain negative
developments in the macroeconomic environment may have adverse effects on the profitability of
specific the ALTEO Group activities.
3.
Taxation
The current taxation, contributions and duties payment regulations applicable to the ALTEO Group are
subject to change in the future, meaning that it is particularly impossible to rule out potential increases
in the rate of the special tax imposed on energy generators and energy traders, moreover that new taxes
with adverse effects on enterprises active in the electricity sector could be imposed, any of which would,
in turn, increase the ALTEO Group’s tax liability. Applicable tax regulations are open to frequent and
major changes, even with retroactive effect, and that could impact the ALTEO Group’s sales revenue and
profitability alike.
4.
Risks related to the United Kingdom leaving the European Union (Brexit)
The risk is not considered relevant to the Company's operations. Further description and further
monitoring of the risk has been discontinued.
b. Risks specific to the market and the industry
5.
Energy market regulation
The operation and profitability of the ALTEO Group greatly depend on the energy market regulations in
Hungary and in the European Union, as well as on the application of such regulations, including in
particular legislation, authority and court practice, Hungarian and international processes, trade and
operational regulations, as well as other applicable regulations relating to electricity generation,
electricity trade, the market of ancillary services in the electricity industry, the utilization of renewable
energy sources, energy and heat produced in cogeneration power plants, district heat generation and
district heating services, natural gas trade, as well as allowance allocation and trade. In 2018, the
Notes to the separate financial statement 2021 of ALTEO Nyrt.
43 / 104
European Union adopted new energy-related legal regulations under the title “Clean Energy For All
Europeans”.
Changes in these regulations and the transposition of the EU regulatory framework may have a
significant impact on the operation, profitability, market position and competitiveness of the ALTEO
Group.
6.
Regulated prices
The various affiliates of the ALTEO Group engage in activity whose price is determined or capped through
legislation or regulation by some authority (including in particular the HEPURA, ministries and municipal
governments). These prices, set out in legal regulations or set by an authority, furthermore, any
modifications in the material scope of official price regulation may have a significant impact on the
profitability and competitiveness of the Company, as well as its various Subsidiaries.
7.
Electricity balancing reserve capacity system risks
In addition to the development of the price margin between electricity and heat energy, the financial
position of gas-fired power plants is significantly influenced by the pricing and accessibility of the
electricity markets for balancing reserve capacity and energy. If, for any reason, access to these markets
becomes limited with respect to production units within the sphere of business interests of the ALTEO
Group, including a drop in service volumes attributable to a substantial fall in market prices, this may
have an adverse impact on the business activity and profitability of the ALTEO Group. Considering that
the ALTEO Group is present on the balancing energy market(s) as a service provider as well as a buyer
of services, price changes in such market(s) may have a significant effect on the capacity of the Company
to generate finance income.
8.
Government grants
ALTEO Group’s operation and profitability could depend on the amount of state subsidies applicable to
the utilization of renewable energy sources and cogenerated energy in Hungary and the countries of the
European Union, as well as those for investment projects and operation, moreover on any future
changes in government grants.
The Commission Guidelines on State Aid for Environmental Protection and Energy set up a new
framework of EU requirements to be met by any government grant provided to the energy sector and
to be applied in Hungary too. Furthermore, in December 2018, the EU adopted the RED2 Directive and
Member States, including Hungary, had to transpose it by June 30, 2021.
In recent years, the ‘KÁT’ (i.e. mandatory electricity off-take) system has undergone changes that also
affected the operating model. ‘METÁR’ (i.e. the support system for renewables), which embodies a
comprehensive recast of the KÁT regime, became effective on 1 January 2017 (some of its elements on
21 October 2017). Changes in state subsidy regimes, and especially in the KÁT and METÁR regulations,
or a possible cancellation of applicable grants may have a significant impact on the operation,
profitability, market position and competitiveness of the Company. Hungarian legal regulations aimed
at transposing the RED2 Directive have not yet been created, furthermore, no tender subject to the
METÁR system has yet been announced, so whatever potential impact those might have on the
Company’s sales revenue and profitability is as yet unknown.

CO

emission market, CO
2
quota allocation system and CO
2
quota prices
The fourth EU ETS trading period (2021–2030) began on 1 January 2021. During this period, in addition
to emission allowances received free of charge, emitters can acquire emission allowances solely at
auctions or through secondary commercial channels. In the period between 2021 and 2030, specific
power plants in the ALTEO Group are going to be allocated, free of charge, an emission unit allowance
that will decrease every year, based on the National Implementing Measure published by the Ministry
for Innovation and Technology and approved by the European Commission. A significant change
compared to the third trading period is that in trading period IV, the free allocation available for a given
year is largely determined by the level of activity of installations to be certified each year, as well as its
changes. In the event of a 15% change in the activity level compared to the base period, the
predetermined quota levels will need to be adjusted and approved by the European Commission. This
is to ensure that the allocation better reflects the real activity of the facilities. Changes in the legal
environmental and allocation system rules to achieve the climate policy targets, and the increase in price
of the emission allowances can have a considerable impact on the operating costs and economic results
of the ALTEO Group.
10.
Changes in technology
Technological innovations can significantly improve the efficiency of the energy industry, especially in
the area of renewable energy production. Technological development can not only reshape the
technologies the ALTEO Group uses, but, in certain cases, might even completely eliminate their use. If
the ALTEO Group has no appropriate experience with or cannot access (on account of patent protection
or due to other grounds) solutions and technologies that become prominent, this may lead to a loss of
the ALTEO Group’s market share and a decrease in its revenues and profitability. There is no way to
guarantee that the ALTEO Group will always be in a position to choose and procure, then operate—in a
most profitable way—the most efficient technology.
11.
Competitive situation
There are multiple companies both in Europe and Hungary that have significant positions and
experience, as well as advanced technologies, major capacities and financial strength—among them
state or municipal government owned and controlled ones—that compete on the ALTEO Group’s various
markets or may start competing with the ALTEO Group in the future. Should it become more intensive
in the future, competition may necessitate unforeseen improvements and investments, furthermore,
might also have a negative effect on the price of the ALTEO Group’s services or increase the Group’s
costs, which may have an adverse effect on the ALTEO Group’s bottom line, as measured on a
consolidated basis. The ALTEO Group has demonstrated to possess substantial professional experience
and background in the preparation and implementation of energy investments and in the operation of
such facilities.
Notes to the separate financial statement 2021 of ALTEO Nyrt.
45 / 104
12.
Funding risk
Preparing for and implementing investments and developments in the energy segment are capital-
intensive processes requiring substantial funding. Changes in certain factors (including the general
economic environment, credit markets, bank interest rates and foreign exchange [FX] rates) may
increase the costs of funding, make the accessing and repayment of funding more difficult, and cause
delays in the same or even render it outright impossible, and this is understood to also include financing
schemes already established on the date of these Financial Statements.
A large part of the ALTEO Group’s bank loans come with variable interest rates and are linked to
reference interest rates, such as BUBOR or EURIBOR. An unfavorable change in the interest rates could
have an adverse effect on the profitability of the ALTEO Group. The ALTEO Group enters into interest
rate swap (IRS) transactions to mitigate its interest rate exposure. Such transactions are concluded after
due consideration of the respective economic environment, and facility-related terms and conditions.
These transactions allow for reducing risk, however, the ALTEO Group is not able to completely eliminate
negative risks stemming from variable interest rates.
ALTEO’s current indebtedness in bonds fully comprises HUF-denominated, zero-coupon or fixed annual
interest-bearing bonds.
13.
Foreign exchange rate changes
The part of ALTEO Group’s sales revenue generated in HUF and, on the expenditure side, not covered
with FX-revenue, to be settled in FX or subject to foreign exchange rates, the Group may incur gain or
loss, due to the changes in HUF and FX prices, To manage foreign exchange exposures, the Group
operates a forecasting system using foreign exchange cash flow modelling, on the basis of which it
manages the assessed and evaluated risks by means of market transactions.
14.
Impact of international market developments on domestic trade
Market prices seen on foreign commodity exchanges have a major influence on energy prices in
Hungary, even though those prices move, to a significant degree, on the basis of economic processes,
as well as supply/demand conditions outside Hungary. New developments in economic processes and
changes in supply-demand relations may have a negative effect on ALTEO Group’s profitability under
certain circumstances.
15.
Risk of changing natural gas, electricity and heat energy price margins
Any changes in the difference between (margin on) the (procurement) price of natural gas and the price
of electricity and/or heat that is sold influence the financial position of natural gas-fired power plants
significantly. Were this margin to drop significantly, it could have a negative effect on the business and
profitability of the ALTEO Group.
16.
Environmental legislation
Any unfavorable changes in the environmental legislation applicable to the ALTEO Group may generate
surplus costs or additional investment requirements for the ALTEO Group.
Notes to the separate financial statement 2021 of ALTEO Nyrt.
46 / 104
17.
Risks related to the spread of COVID-19
To the best of its knowledge, ALTEO Group does not have any direct customers or suppliers for its
revenue-generating activities or services who are domiciled in countries that are under quarantine due
to the COVID-19 virus as of the date of publication of this Management Report. However, COVID-19 may
affect those markets where ALTEO Group is also active, and so it may have an indirect impact on ALTEO
Group’s operations and profitability. The management of ALTEO Group is not in a position to assess the
risks from the potential outcomes of COVID-19 in the entire supply chain or the risks indirectly affecting
the Company.
The direct personnel of ALTEO Group and the workforce of its subcontractors and suppliers involved in
each ongoing project may be affected by the spread of the COVID-19 virus and the measures taken or
to be taken during the same. Illnesses can have a negative impact on ALTEO Group’s work processes,
the timing of ongoing projects and may also have detrimental effects on the labor market. The state of
danger imposed in Hungary may have a negative impact on the profitability and liquidity on the clients
and consumers of ALTEO Group and may also result in the decline of their demand for energy and
willingness to invest, which may have a detrimental effect also on ALTEO Group’s profit. ALTEO Group’s
management has taken the necessary measures to address the risks related to the protection of its
employees’ health and has set up a Pandemic Executive Board and adopted a Pandemic Plan. ALTEO
Group’s management continuously monitors events related to the COVID-19 virus and, if necessary,
takes the necessary steps based on these.
c. Risks specific to the ALTEO Group
18.
Risks arising from operating the Virtual Power Plant
The income generating capacity of the ALTEO Virtual Power Plant and related production units within
the sphere of business interests of the ALTEO Group is highly dependent on the availability and pricing
of balancing reserve capacity and energy markets in the electricity system. If, for any reason, access to
these markets becomes limited with respect to the Virtual Power Plant, including a drop in service
volume attributable to a substantial fall in market prices, this may have a highly adverse impact on the
business activity and profitability of the ALTEO Group.
19.
Political risks
The ALTEO Group provides some of its services to institutions which are owned by municipalities or are
under the influence of municipalities or certain statutory corporations. Furthermore, the agreements
made with such institutions have a major effect on the operation of certain members and projects of
the ALTEO Group. The considerations governing the motivation of bodies having influence over such
institutions may differ from the considerations of a rational, profit-oriented market player, which is a
Notes to the separate financial statement 2021 of ALTEO Nyrt.
47 / 104
risk in terms of contract performance. Such risks arise primarily relating to the district heating generation
activities of Alteo Therm at its sites in Sopron, Kazincbarcika, Tiszaújváros and Zugló.
The occurrence of events that may be classified as political risks may have an adverse impact on the
exposed Subsidiaries of the ALTEO Group and, overall, the profitability of the ALTEO Group.
20.
Dependence on weather
Part of the ALTEO Group’s energy production capacities (e.g. wind turbines, solar power plants,
hydropower plants) and the energy demand of certain buyers (e.g. heat demands) depend on the
weather, therefore, changes in weather may significantly affect the profitability of the ALTEO Group. In
the case of weather-dependent energy production, no major change can be expected in the average
annual output, but within a year and between years, differences may occur. In the case of a weather-
dependent change in energy demand, even longer-term trends of changes may develop (such as milder
winters).
In the case of weather-dependent energy production, the Company relies on meteorological forecasts
to estimate (schedule) the quantity of electricity that can potentially be generated. If the weather is not
as predicted, there will be changes in the amount of electricity produced as compared to the plans (Day-
Ahead or Intra-Day schedules), which may cause a significant loss for the ALTEO Group. See also
Electricity balancing reserve capacity system risks.
The weather affects the ability to perform heat supply contracts that have no heat volume commitment,
given the heat purchase obligations. The actual weather, as compared to the forecasted trend, has an
effect on the profitability of the Group. The actual value of heat transfer may in reality be different from
the planned level; as a consequence, the fair value of the hedging transactions obtained in accordance
with the hedging policy of the Group in respect of such products may need to be reclassified into profit
or loss.
The Company’s strategy is to keep on developing weather-dependent, renewable energy production
projects, and that might increase the dependence on weather in the future.
21.
Risks of growth
The ALTEO Group is in the phase of business growth, coupled with the growth of employee staffing, the
number and value of the facilities and tools. The ALTEO Group is planning to expand further both in
terms of business activities and geographical areas. There is no guarantee that the Company strategy
will be successful and the Company will be able to manage this growth efficiently and successfully.
With contributions from its Subsidiaries, in accordance with the present Financial Statements, the
Company is currently preparing for the implementation of several projects. In addition to the Company’s
intention, these project implementations depend on a number of other external factors. It cannot be
guaranteed that these projects will be actually implemented, or will be implemented in accordance with
the present Financial Statements; furthermore, the implementation of other future projects may
precede or substitute projects known on the date of the present Financial Statements.
Any of the potential risk events associated with growth may result in stagnation of the Company’s
growth or even operation at a loss.
Notes to the separate financial statement 2021 of ALTEO Nyrt.
48 / 104
22.
Risks stemming from acquisitions, buying out projects and companies
The ALTEO Group wishes to implement its business plans partially via acquisition of already existing
energy projects and/or buying out companies. Although acquisition targets always undergo detailed
screening before the transaction, we cannot exclude the possibility of such financial, legal or technical
events occurring in relation to an acquired project or company that may have an adverse effect on the
business and profitability of the ALTEO Group.
Any of the potential risk events associated with the acquisition strategy may result in stagnation of the
Company’s growth or even operation at a loss.
23.
Risks related to power plant project development and green-field
investment
In ALTEO Group’s business plans, licensing and implementation of green-field energy investments plays
an important role. Although the ALTEO Group draws up careful technical, legal and profitability plans
when preparing for project implementation, there is always a possibility that the authorization of
specific projects becomes unreasonably long or impossible. During implementation phases, the ALTEO
Group strives to contract main and subcontractors that offer appropriate guarantees and references,
but even so, the possibility of disputes arising between the parties cannot be excluded in these phases.
Any of the potential risk events associated with green-field investments or development projects in
power plants may result in stagnation of the ALTEO Group’s growth or even operation at a loss.
24.
Large-scale, customized projects
In line with the characteristics of the industry, a significant share of ALTEO Group’s revenues comes from
large-scale, customized projects. Consequently, completing or not implementing just a few projects may
already make a big difference in terms of the Company’s future revenues and profitability. These large-
scale projects are frequently long-term (may take even several years), require a long-term allocation of
significant resources and are, in several cases, implemented using subcontractors. An eventual failure
of or loss on such large-scale investments may have a significant negative impact on ALTEO Group’s
profitability.
25.
Energy trade risks
Changes in the demand on electricity and natural gas markets may have a profound influence on the
revenues, profitability and strategic expansion plans of the ALTEO Group.
During ALTEO Group’s energy trading activities, portfolio planning is done on the basis of data service
from consumers and the Group’s calculations. A planning mistake or incorrect data service may lead to
inappropriate procurement strategy, where a subsequent correction can cause losses or gains to the
ALTEO Group.
The Company covers 100% of the annual consumer demand, but due to natural seasonality, open
positions remain, which are mainly closed on the spot market. Prices on the spot markets cannot be
Notes to the separate financial statement 2021 of ALTEO Nyrt.
49 / 104
planned in advance, any change in them may have unfavorable/favorable effect on the profitability of
the ALTEO Group.
Natural gas and electricity volumes are mainly contracted through low-risk wholesale partners and, to a
lesser extent, through exchanges. Trading is continuous, and therefore the prices of products change on
a daily basis, given that the trading in exchange-traded products is continuous. Day-by-day price
movements, sometimes with significant changes, may represent a risk in the case of longer-term
consumer proposals. Even though the ALTEO Group performs its trading activities on the basis of a risk
management procedure adopted by the Board of Directors; an eventual mistaken transaction may have
a significant negative effect on the profitability of the ALTEO Group.
26.
Operating risks
The economic performance of the ALTEO Group depends on the proper operation of its projects, which
may be influenced by several factors, such as:
costs of general and unexpected maintenance or renewals;
unplanned outage or shutdown due to malfunction of the equipment;
natural disasters (fire, flood, earthquake, storm and other natural disasters);
change in operative parameters;
change in operating costs;
eventual errors during operations; and
dependence on third-party operators.
The energy generating companies of the ALTEO Group have in place “all risk” type property insurance
policies for machinery breakdown and outage, as well certain natural disasters. These provide cover for
damages traceable to such causes and also apply to liability insurance policies as well, where a cover is
provided for third-party damage caused by energy generating activities. However, it is not excluded that
a loss event is partially or entirely outside the scope of the risk assumed by the insurer, and so, the
insurant—either as the injured party or the responsible party—may be obliged to bear the damage.
The occurrence of any operational risks may have a highly adverse impact on the perception and
profitability of the ALTEO Group.
27.
Fuel risk
The price of strategic fuels used by the ALTEO Group is in line with the market processes. The possibility
that the price of the fuels procured by the ALTEO Group will increase in the future cannot be excluded,
which can have a negative effect on the Group’s profitability.
For ALTEO Group’s power plants burning hydrocarbons, the key types of fuel (primarily natural gas) are
procured from third-party suppliers. The natural gas transport agreements made by the ALTEO Group
are in line with the practices used by the entire industry. Despite that, there is no guarantee that the
fuel required for fueling the power plants will always be available, and it is especially difficult to plan
with fuel supply in the case of external events. The natural gas transport agreements made by the ALTEO
Group are also in line with the practices used by the entire industry and these may include an offtake
(a.k.a. “take-or-pay”) obligation, for the respective period, with a certain tolerance band. In the event of
Notes to the separate financial statement 2021 of ALTEO Nyrt.
50 / 104
a significant drop in natural gas consumption, incurrence of a penalty by the ALTEO Group due to gas
not taken over cannot be completely ruled out, and such an occurrence would have an adverse impact
on the profitability of the Company.
28.
Renewing and/or refinancing outstanding debts
In addition to loans from financial institutions, the ALTEO Group uses in part bonds - issued by ALTEO
either in a private or public offering - to fund its financing needs.
Negative changes and risks in the business prospects of the ALTEO Group, in the general financing
environment, in the interest environment or in the general capital market atmosphere may have a
negative effect on the renewal of bond debt and the refinancing of the ALTEO Group’s outstanding loans
would be possible only with significantly worse conditions or it might even become impossible. These
circumstances may have a negative effect on future financing and on the financial situation of the ALTEO
Group.
29.
Information technology systems
The activity of the ALTEO Group (in particular, the supervision of the power plants) depends on how
information technology systems operate. The improper operation or security of the ALTEO Group’s
information technology (IT) systems may have adverse consequences for the business and profitability
of the ALTEO Group.
30.
Wholesale partner risks
If the partner in a wholesale transaction does not deliver or accept the contracted amount of energy, or
cannot pay for the energy delivered, such failed transactions may lead to short- or long-term losses for
the Company. Although the ALTEO Group exercises utmost care in selecting its partners, any failure by
them to meet their obligations would have a negative impact on the profitability of the ALTEO Group.
31.
Dependence on third-party suppliers
During the implementation of energy investments, the ALTEO Group greatly depends on the suppliers,
manufacturers of certain equipment, as well as on the implementers and subcontractors, and that may
have an impact on the implementation of the investments. The ALTEO Group does not always have full
control over the equipment, installations and materials. If, for any reason, manufacturers or suppliers
fail to deliver the equipment ordered by the ALTEO Group at the right time, for the right price and in the
right quality, delays may occur in the implementation of investments and additional costs may arise,
which may have an adverse impact on the profitability of the ALTEO Group.
Notes to the separate financial statement 2021 of ALTEO Nyrt.
51 / 104
32.
Buyer risk
A significant share of the ALTEO Group’s revenues comes from a small number of buyers making large
purchases. Consequently, winning or losing a client contract may already make a big difference in terms
of the Company’s future revenues and profitability.
As a consequence of having significant buyers, the ALTEO Group is exposed to non-payment risk. If an
important buyer of the ALTEO Group fails to pay or pays lately, that might cause a significant loss to the
ALTEO Group.
The ALTEO Group has fixed-term contracts with its significant buyers, suppliers and financing partners.
There is no guarantee that after the expiry of these contracts, the parties can reach an agreement
regarding the extension of these contracts. Even fixed-term contracts offer no guarantee against their
termination before the end of their specified term due to some unexpected or exceptional event.
ALTEO Group sells electricity and provides district heating services for certain public institution users.
Upon request from such users, the relevant Subsidiary is obliged to provide an exemption from
termination due to late payment (a moratorium), for a specified period, subject to the conditions laid
down by law. Costs occurred due to the moratorium must be borne by the relevant Subsidiary.
33.
The risk of key managers and/or employees leaving the Company
The performance and success of the ALTEO Group greatly depends on the experience and availability of
its managers and key employees. Managers or key employees leaving the Company or their absence
may have a negative impact on the ALTEO Group’s operation and profitability.
34.
The risk of introducing and using new power plant technologies
In accordance with its business plans, the ALTEO Group may introduce into the portfolio certain
technologies that were not included in their power plant portfolio until now. Although the ALTEO Group
implements only proven technologies holding a number of references, if the performance of a given
technology is lower than previously projected, it may cause a loss to the ALTEO Group.
35.
Risks arising from authorities' opinions and findings
In addition to the tax authority, several other authorities (such as the Central Bank of Hungary and
HEPURA) are entitled to check the proper functioning of the rules at the ALTEO Group. The ALTEO Group
does everything that can reasonably be expected of it to ensure the compliance of its operation with
the requirements set out in legal regulations or specified by the authorities. Nevertheless, the possibility
that future inspections by the authorities will result in statements leading to substantial expenses for
the ALTEO Group, or that the competent authorities will impose certain sanctions (penalty, suspension
of operation or withdrawal of the license required for operation) against some companies of the ALTEO
Group cannot be excluded, which may have an adverse impact on the perception and profitability of the
Company.

36.
Key licenses and qualifications
For performing their activities, members of the ALTEO Group need several permissions (such as small
power plant consolidated permit, KÁT permit, as well as environmental and water rights licenses). If
these certificates, qualifications and licenses are revoked or not extended, the business of the ALTEO
Group would be profoundly limited. Therefore, this could have a significant negative impact on the
Group’s profitability.
37.
The risk of not fulfilling the obligations associated with operating its own
balancing group
As part of its electricity trading activity, ALTEO Energiakereskedő operates a balancing group of its own,
an accounting organization with the membership of electricity users and electricity producers in
contractual relationship with ALTEO Energiakereskedő, and performs its related tasks specified in
legislation and in the electricity supply regulations. ALTEO Energiakereskedő itself has all licenses,
financial securities, assets and resources required for operating the balancing group, but in the case of
a malfunctioning or a shortage, ALTEO Energiakereskedő may not be able to perform its duties as the
entity responsible for the balancing group, therefore, it would have to bear all relevant damages and
fines.
ALTEO Energiakereskedő is involved in a balancing group cooperation with several balancing group
managers. Should these balancing group managers suspend or terminate their activities, the transfer of
their tasks may imply significant costs for ALTEO Energiakereskedő and, if the transfer of the tasks
performed by the balancing group managers cannot be settled immediately, without problems, then,
even a significant amount of surcharge payment may be the result thereof.
38.
Options to purchase certain means of production
Third parties have options to purchase certain means of production of the ALTEO Group. If the relevant
contracts are not amended or new service contracts are not signed, these assets will not contribute to
the Company’s revenues and profits after the time when they are sold. Apart from that, the Company
may suffer losses from such sale transactions. In its business plans, the Company anticipates the
expiration of these contracts and the loss of ownership of the means of production; any contract
renewals or the retention or more favorable sale of ownership will result in additional profits compared
to the plans.
On the basis of the investment and long-term heat supply contracts concluded between the legal
predecessors of Alteo Therm Kft. and the local municipalities of Kazincbarcika, Ózd and Tiszaújváros, the
municipalities are entitled to buy those heating power plants upon the expiry of such contracts, at the
value specified in the accounting records.
Under a purchase option contract between MOL Petrochemicals Co. Ltd. and Sinergy on the Tisza-WTP
business share, MOL Petrochemicals Co. Ltd. is entitled to purchase, until June 30, 2027 at the latest,
the Tisza-WTP business share at a price calculated according to the methodology specified in the
contract.
Notes to the separate financial statement 2021 of ALTEO Nyrt.
53 / 104
Under a long term contract concluded by Zugló-Therm and FŐTÁV Zrt. on purchasing and selling heat
energy, as well as an agreement establishing a purchase option concluded at the same time, upon expiry
of that contract (expected by May 31, 2030) or in the case of termination by Zugló-Therm, FŐTÁV Zrt. is
entitled to buy the gas engine block heating power plant established by Zugló-Therm for an amount of
EUR 1, further to its decision adopted at its discretion. If FŐTÁV Zrt. fails to exercise their purchase
option, and the parties are unable to reach an agreement on the future of the heating power plant,
Zugló-Therm will be obliged to demolish it at its own expense and restore the property used by it for
this purpose to its original condition.
39.
Business relationships associated with the Owners’ Group
The ALTEO Group is part of the Owners’ Group, and there are several business relationships between
the two groups. A portion of the ALTEO Group’s revenues and services used comes from the Ownership
Group. There is no guarantee that in the case of an eventual future change in the ownership structure
of the Company or of these businesses the relationship of the ALTEO Group with these businesses
remains unchanged. The termination of these buyer, financing and supplier relationships may have a
negative effect on the profitability of the ALTEO Group and limit its options to access funding in the
future.
40.
The risk of being categorized as a de facto group of companies
The ALTEO Group includes several Subsidiaries. In the case of ALTEO Group, in the absence of a uniform
business policy or, in the case of certain Subsidiaries, the lack of other conditions, no control agreement
was concluded and ALTEO Group does not qualify as a recognized company group. At the same time, it
cannot be excluded that based on the request of a legal entity with an interest of legal nature, the court
will oblige the member companies of ALTEO Group to enter into a subordination agreement and to
initiate the registration of the company group with the Court of Registration, or categorize ALTEO Group
as an actual company group even in the lack of a court registration. In a situation like that, if a subsidiary
was liquidated, the Company would be obligated to honor its debt repayment obligations toward the
creditors, except if it can prove that the insolvency was not the consequence of the company group’s
integrated business policy.
41.
Taxation
The ALTEO Group does everything that can reasonably be expected of it to ensure that its operation is
in compliance with the regulations, but it cannot be excluded that a future tax audit will result in
substantial expenses in the form of a tax liability payable by the Company or its subsidiaries. The National
Tax and Customs Administration of Hungary (abbreviation in Hungarian: NAV) performed a
comprehensive tax audit at the Company for the year 2018. The audit findings did not result in any
noteworthy changes in the tax positions of the Company, and the Company met all obligations imposed
on it on the basis of those findings.
Notes to the separate financial statement 2021 of ALTEO Nyrt.
54 / 104
In certain acquisition contracts, the parties to the contract acting as sellers to the ALTEO Group accepted
a full guarantee for the period of tax law limitation for the reimbursement of the tax debts of the target
companies for the periods prior to their getting into the ALTEO Group. Nevertheless, there is no
guarantee that any claims for reimbursement against the sellers may be fully enforceable, which may
result in a loss for the ALTEO Group.
42.
Environmental risks
During their activities the ALTEO Group’s companies use materials and apply technologies that could be
harmful to the environment if used inappropriately, not complying with legislation or with the relevant
permissions. Members of the ALTEO Group have the necessary environmental licenses and policies in
place, and their expert staff do their job with special care as required by the nature of this business. But
there could be extraordinary events which may entail invoking the environmental remediation
obligation of the affected company or imposing a fine, or may lead to enforcing claims against the
affected company. The ALTEO Group’s insurance policies may not provide any cover or full cover for
damages and costs resulting from such events, which may result in a loss for the ALTEO Group.
43.
Risk of bankruptcy and liquidation proceedings
If the court requires bankruptcy proceedings to be instituted against the Company, the Company will be
granted a payment extension. Pursuant to Section 10(4) of the Bankruptcy Act, the term of payment is
extended until 00:00 a.m. on the second business day following the 120
th
day from the publication of
the decision on the bankruptcy proceedings. Under certain conditions, the extension may be prolonged
for up to 365 days from the start date of the bankruptcy proceedings. In the event of liquidation
proceedings, the Bond claims of Bond holders will be satisfied as other receivables pursuant to Section
57(e) of the Bankruptcy Act. Any bankruptcy or liquidation proceedings initiated against the Company
would have a significantly adverse impact on the rate of Bonds and the probability of their full
repayment.
The maturity dates of the Company’s financial instruments are the following:

44.
Any discrepancies between the data in the consolidated and IFRS reports
and the data in the reports prepared in line with the Hungarian Accounting
Standards (HAS)
The Company and its Subsidiaries prepare individual reports in line with HAS for each financial year.
Beginning with the fiscal year of 2010, the Company prepares a consolidated financial statement
according to the IFRS standards in addition to the separate HAS report. As of 2017, the Company has
prepared its separate financial statement in line with the IFRS standards. Valuation and presentation
principles applied in the reports of subsidiaries and of the Company prepared according to the HAS
requirements are different from those applied in the consolidated financial statement. Due to the
differences in the accounting systems, the information content of the simple aggregation of the separate
HAS financial statements and that of the consolidated IFRS financial statement are independent and
separate.
45.
The risk of entering new geographical markets
The ALTEO Group might implement acquisitions and green-field investments overseas as well, therefore,
any unfavorable changes in the macroeconomic, business, regulatory and/or legal environment of the
target countries may have an adverse effect on the financial performance of the projects obtained
through acquisition or implemented through green-field investments and consequently, on the
profitability of the ALTEO Group.
III. Changes in accounting policies, potential impact of IFRSs and IFRICs not
yet effective as at the reporting date of the financial statements and earlier
application
The Company’s accounting policies applied earlier did not change, with the exception of the listed items.

The implementation of these amendments, new standards and interpretations would not influence the
financial statements of the Company in a significant manner.
IV. Critical estimates used in preparing the financial statements and other
sources of uncertainty
In preparing its financial statements, the Company made critical estimates in connection with the
following topics which, as a result, are sources of uncertainty.
Changes in accounting estimates is done by assessing the modification of the carrying amount of an
asset or liability or the amount of the periodical use of the asset, performed based on the evaluation of
the present situation of the assets and liabilities and the related expected future profits and
commitments. Changes in accounting estimates are caused by new information or new developments,
so, accordingly, these do not qualify as corrections. It is not necessary to change the modification of the
data of the comparative period if the accounting estimates change.
The management of the Company must review the accounting estimates of the following areas at least
annually:

estimates concerning the depreciation of the intangible assets (e.g.: useful life),
estimates concerning the depreciation of the fixed assets (e.g.: useful life),
estimates concerning the creation of provisions (e.g.: methodology of calculation, indicators for
determining provisions),
estimates concerning the evaluation of inventories and receivables,
estimates concerning fair value,
accounting for project revenues,
estimates concerning R&D assets,
estimates concerning conditional purchase price.
The following might indicate the review of accounting estimates:
changes in legal regulations,
changes in the economic environment,
changes in the operation, procedures of the company.
The useful lives and residual values of fixed assets and the related decommissioning liability can be
determined using estimates. Due to the high value of fixed assets, even slight changes in such estimates
can have a considerable effect.
The interest rate used for discounting could not be determined using actual market data; instead, the
Group was forced to employ alternative methods.
The management’s judgement in calculating the impairment of trade receivables is a critical decision
which directly impacts profit or loss.
Whether the assets and know-how created under the R&D project can be utilized is highly dependent
on the market and regulatory environment.
Of the power plant units of certain subsidiaries of the Company, the energy production of
wind turbines,
heating power plants,
hydroelectric power plants,
solar power plants
depends on the weather, therefore, changes in certain elements of the weather (wind force,
temperature, water yield) can also have a significant impact on the efficiency of the units in question.
Certain subsidiaries of the Company are involved in the district heating production business. This
business has been consistently making a loss for an extended period of time.
Notes to the separate financial statement 2021 of ALTEO Nyrt.
58 / 104
In the case of certain subsidiaries of the Company, much of the capacities of power plants of are devoted
to one or two clients. Power plants where the Group has not signed long-term supply contracts with
clients are exposed to the risk of clients being lost.
The operation and profitability of the Company and its subsidiaries depends on the government
regulation of the market, especially on the taxation policy adopted by the state.

V. Statements of profit or loss and of financial position
Allocation of the Company's statement of profit or loss to segments has been performed.
Presentation of the profit by segments is included in Note 32.
1.
Revenue
On the Company’s revenue line only items attributable to the Company’s core activity are accounted
for, not being revenues connected to discontinued activities.
The Company uses the amounts invoiced when recognizing revenue (with the exception of accruals
and deferrals). Generally, the nature of the Company’s services does not require other types of
adjustments. In the case of the energy industry projects, the recognized revenue was determined
taking account of the stage of completion. The Company leaves out taxes, fees recovered on behalf
of the state or some other party from its revenues and recognizes then as items decreasing expenses.
Lease income on subsidiaries recognized under leases according to IFRS16 rules are recognized as
revenues. Apart from the energy storage units, the Company does not keep any separate assets for
leasing purposes, nor does it lease its own assets. The Company does not sublease its leased assets.
The Company did not have royalty or dividend which should have been presented as revenue; its
revenue is only from domestic sales.
The breakdown of revenue by activities is as follows:
The Company derived its operating lease revenue from the leasing of energy storage units set up in
the course of its R&D activities.

Material expenses
Material expenses include items attributable to the Company’s core activity only, not being expenses
connected to discontinued activities.
In 2021, the Company recognized HUF 7,900 thousand as cost of auditing.
The Company uses the benefits as per IFRS16 in force in the current year and recognizes the following
items as lease payments: the central offices until the date of the relocation of headquarters, the car
leases maturing within one year and the lease of certain IT equipment of small value. The lease of these
assets is recognized directly in the statement of financial position of the period in question among the
material expenses.

Personnel expenses
The increase in personnel expenses was caused by the significant expansion of the workforce and the
related wage bill as well as an inflation-indexed wage increase.
In the current year, the Company distributed shares in the value of HUF 2,550 thousand to the
employees who were entitled to these on the basis of the Company’s recognition plan. In connection
with the shares granted, the transfer of the shares started on February 1, 2021.

are recognized in capitalized own performances.
Costs directly related to the production of inventories and to the cost of participations are disclosed
as other own production.

Other revenues, expenses, net
Other income and expenses incurred in the current year and the comparative period were as follows:
Taxes among other items are not income taxes. These mainly contain deductions imposed by
municipalities (vehicle tax), taxes to be credited to other expenses (environmental product tax) and
other fees.
The value of scrapping recognized in Fixed assets and Intangible assets decreased significantly. That
is because assets shown among rights of use under IFRS16 included vehicles used under operating
lease contracts that were returned in 2020 before the end of the lease term and thus were de-
recognized in long-term lease liabilities as well.
Other revenues and (expenditures) comprise time-proportionate revenues of grants recognized
among deferred income, gains relating to insurance policies as well as expenses and incomes that
cannot be categorized, such as partner and tax current account settlements, time-proportionate
personnel repayments due to the departure of staff, rounding differences.

The Company is entitled to dividend after its shares in its subsidiaries. In 2021 dividends received
included the following:
Alte-A Kft. HUF 7,000 thousand
Domaszék Kft. HUF 16,000 thousand
Monsolar Kft. HUF 61,000 thousand
Sunteo Kft. HUF 108,000 thousand
Pannon Szélerőmű Kft. HUF 238,000 thousand
Euro Green Energy Kft. HUF 1,500,000 thousand
Within finance income and expenses, the main component in translation gains and losses was the
exchange loss realized on items recognized in euros. The Company did not enter into cash flow
hedges in 2021.
Recognized impairment of shares was determined based on the discounted cash-flow model
considering the recoverable amount. The share traffic table in Note 11 contains the distribution of
recognized impairment concerning certain subsidiaries.

Income tax expenses
The Company pays tax under Hungarian tax law. In the Hungarian tax system, such tax expenses for
the entity included corporate tax, the innovation contribution and the local business tax. The
breakdown of tax expenses is as follows:
Tax matters often require estimates and decisions which will later contradict the opinion of the tax
authority; therefore, a subsequent tax audit may reveal additional tax liabilities for periods for which

a tax return has already been submitted. The Company operates in a tax environment which grants
tax authorities a wide range of powers to reclassify items and taxpayers are usually helpless against
these powers.
The ALTEO Group does everything that can reasonably be expected of it to ensure that its operation
is in compliance with the regulations, but it cannot be excluded that a future tax audit will result in
substantial expenses in the form of a tax liability payable by the Company or its subsidiaries. The
National Tax and Customs Administration of Hungary (abbreviation in Hungarian: NAV) performed a
comprehensive tax audit at the Company for the year 2018. In the course of the audit, no tax
deficiencies were identified, and no negative sanctions arising from legal consequences were
established.
In certain acquisition contracts, the parties to the contract acting as sellers to the ALTEO Group
accepted a full guarantee for the period of tax law limitation for the reimbursement of the tax debts
of the target companies for the periods prior to their joining the ALTEO Group. Nevertheless, there
is no guarantee that any claims for reimbursement against the sellers may be fully enforceable, which
may result in a loss for the ALTEO Group.

Fixed assets and intangible assets
The changes in assets are detailed in the following table:
data in HUF thousand
The depreciation of fixed assets is determined as explained in the accounting policy, in a straight-line
manner.
Between July 1, 2017 and June 30, 2019, co-funded by the National Research Development and
Innovation Fund, the Company successfully produced an R&D know-how asset as a result of its R&D
activity in connection with the integration of small heat and electricity cogeneration plants and weather-
dependent electricity generators, electricity-based heat energy production units and a battery electricity
storage facility belonging to the existing virtual power plant. In the opinion of the Company’s
management, the research activity aimed at generating other intangible assets meets the IAS 38
recognition criteria and the know-how created as a result of the activity generates revenue. Costs
incurred in the course of the development project are recognized among intangible assets.
The Company’s management considers that the fixed assets acquired and intangible asset (the R&D
asset) recorded under the R&D project for “Developing an innovative model for battery energy storage
applications” acquired through succession as part of the merger by absorption in 2018 can be recognized

and will deliver a return on investment as indicated by existing business plans. The R&D asset meets the
IAS 38 criteria.
The Company’s management considers that the fixed assets acquired and intangible asset (the R&D
intangible asset) recorded under the R&D 2 project for “Developing an innovative model for battery
energy storage applications” launched in 2019 and implemented in 2021 can be recognized and will
deliver a return on investment as indicated by existing business plans. The R&D asset meets the IAS 38
criteria. The 5 MW battery energy storage facility implemented at the Kazincbarcika Heating Power Plant
in addition to the primary (FCR) regulatory objective, provides gradient support to the secondary (aFRR)
regulation required for the maintenance of balance in the system. It participates in frequency regulation
(FCR) and secondary regulation (aFRR) alike. The invested amount is around HUF 1,015 billion, to be
amortized over 10 years.
At the end of 2021 the Company participated in another R&D tender, where it pursued the related
activities using its own resources. With regard to this R&D project, the Company proposes internal
utilization and expects future incoming cash flows to be generated.
The 1532.29 m2 of office space rented in the Globe 3 Office Building is recognized under rights of use in
IFRS 16. The office lease has a term of 5+5 years with a gross value of HUF 808,720 thousand in the
Company's books.
There are no assets that might need to be removed at the end of their useful life and such removal would
involve significant expenses. There is no asset to which the component approach needs to be applied.
As at December 31, 2021 the Company had no asset to be considered as a qualifying asset, so no
borrowing costs had to be capitalized; and there is no asset that is subject to a lien under a loan
agreement. The Company does not possess assets which are expected to cause environmental damage
that the Company would be required to neutralize.
Apart from the energy storage units, the Company does not keep any separate assets for leasing
purposes, nor does it lease its own assets.
The Company had no assets, either in the previous or in the current year, classified as assets held for
sale.
The Company does not possess assets regarding which it would employ the revaluation model. The
Company does not possess intangible assets with indefinite lifecycles.
The management of the Company performs the necessary tests for CGUs as at each reporting date to
determine whether the recognized value can be considered recoverable. In the current year, the tests
performed showed the Group's assets to be recoverable so it is not necessary to recognize impairment.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities
When calculating deferred taxes, the Company compares the amounts to be considered for taxation
purposes with the carrying amount of each asset and liability. If the difference is reversible (i.e. the
difference is equalized in the foreseeable future), then a deferred tax liability or asset is recorded in a
positive or negative amount as appropriate. Recoverability was separately examined by the Company
when recording each asset.
When computing taxes, the Company used a 9% rate upon reversal for both years as the assets and
liabilities in question will turn into actual taxes in periods when the tax rate is 9% as specified by the
effective laws.
Deferred tax assets are supported by a tax strategy which confirms that the asset is expected to be
recovered based on the information available. The change in deferred taxes was recognized by the
Company in the statement of profit or loss.
The tax balances and temporary differences for 2021 are as follows:

Application of the expected loss model to financial assets
The management of the Company has performed the risk analysis of its financial assets. Risks of financial
assets are presented in Section 34. Financial assets are classified into the following categories:
Category Definition Application of ECL
Performing The partner is trustworthy and non-payments did not
occur in the past. All related items are considered
performing.
Recognition of 12-month expected
credit loss
Delinquent Significant delay by an external partner but no direct
evidence of risk of non-payment
Recognition of full lifetime
expected credit loss
Non-performing Item past due for 365+ days in the case of an external
partner, direct evidence for risk of non-payment
Recognition of full lifetime
expected credit loss
The Company reviewed its previous year's practice on related party receivables and, in the current year,
recognizes impairment on related party receivables and performing outstanding external party
receivables in accordance with the logic of the above table. For related party loans and receivables, in
the case of ALTEO, the Company's management determined the rate of expected credit loss based on
the BBB rating specified by Scope Rating for senior unsecured loans.
Impairment recognized for the financial assets of the Company by classification category (and not by the
statement of financial position) are presented in the ECL amount column:

In current year's valuation, the management of the Company uses the data available in public databases
to determine ECL rates. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the overall credit risk in the
market of the partners and segments showed a 0 to 2.5% change in the recent period. As a result of
COVID and the impact of the extraordinary increase in energy prices on the solvency of customers, the
Company has maintained the classification of its receivables or assigned them to a riskier level.
18.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash only includes the balances of items which can be converted to cash and used three months from
acquiring. The interest rate on current account balances is about 0%, considering the extremely low
interest environment.
The detailed reasons for changes in cash are included in the statement of cash flows.
19.
Elements of equity
By transforming its capital structure, the Group intends to retain its capacity to operate continuously in
order to provide profit for its shareholders and maintain an optimal capital structure for the sake of
reducing the cost of capital. In order to preserve or adjust capital structure, the Board of Directors
proposes to the General Meeting the amount of dividends to be paid to shareholders, and acting within
its authorization received from the General Meeting, it decides, in connection with the capital structure
or at its discretion, on capital increase and issuing new shares, or submits a proposal to that effect to
the General Meeting.
The Group complies with the statutory capital requirements applicable to it. In performing a review of
that, the Group observes the requirements of Act V of 2013 on the Civil Code (of Hungary). The table

ESOP Program I (2017)
The fair value of the options granted was calculated using option pricing models. The value of the
options were not remeasured later. ALTEO Nyrt. does not provide cash benefits with respect to this
scheme.
Expenses concerning the entire option scheme were recognized as personnel expenses in the
statement of profit or loss of previous periods. The entire scheme is equity settled; therefore, no
revaluation will be required in the forthcoming periods.
Under the option program, the options 96,253 in total vested in August 2017. The price of the
options as of the time of distribution was uniformly HUF 3,800/share, apportioned by splitting the
shares in 1:8 proportions. By splitting the shares the number of share options changed proportionately
(770,024 options). 21,500 shares were drawn down under the scheme during 2019, and 36,128 in
2020.
Pursuant to the remuneration policy of ALTEO’s ESOP Organization, call option holders did not exercise
their option until the termination of their employment relationship and thus forfeited the option in
respect of a total of 134,752 shares. The part of the reserve covering terminated and called options
was reclassified into retained earnings. The 577,644 shares outstanding at the end of 2020 were drawn
down under the program. Neither the beneficiaries nor the ESOP organization may sell their shares
below the 2016 IPO issue price (HUF 579/share, having regard to the division by eight).
ESOP Program II (2020)
Certain executive employees of the Company receive share-based benefits as of December 21, 2020
(the date of grant): the detailed rules of the so-called Employee Share Ownership Program (“ESOP”)
are set forth in the Company’s Remuneration Policy for 2020, published and effective on December
21, 2020.

avadalmazasi_Politikajarol__128504486
The ESOP applies to the 9 executive Employees specified in the 2020 Remuneration Policy. The
Employee is eligible to acquire the Available Shares if their legal relationship making them eligible to
participate in the Remuneration Policy for 2020 is in place with the Company on the day of publication
of the Company's consolidated financial statement for 2022.
The subject of the ESOP is a maximum of 645,200 Available Shares which may be distributed – provided
the below criteria are met after the closing of the 2022 fiscal year of the Company (following the
adoption of the consolidated financial statement). The Available Shares are acquired by the Employee

without consideration. The Employee may choose whether they wish to receive the Available Shares
as securities or whether they wish to receive the consideration thereof in cash.
The Employees may acquire the following ratios (specified as a %) of the full volume of Available
Shares, provided that certain performance conditions also presented below are met in full:
1. ALTEO Share Price: in the period between January 1, 2022 and December 31, 2022, the
volume-weighted average trading price on the BSE reaches HUF 1,178. (15% weight, partial
performance is not possible)
2. Turnover: The aggregate turnover of ALTEO Shares as traded on the BSE in the period between
January 1, 2022 and December 31, 2022 exceeds HUF 2,479 million and the volume-weighted
average trading price in the same period is at least HUF 950. (15% weight, partial performance
is not possible)
3. The audited profit after taxation filtered from ESOP effect per share reaches or exceeds HUF
54.7 in 2022. (25% weight, partial performance is possible)
4. The audited EBITDA filtered from ESOP effect per share reaches or exceeds HUF 320 in 2022.
(45% weight, partial performance is possible)
5. Excluding criterion: the rating of the bonds of ALTEO Nyrt. at Scope – or an alternative credit
rating agency drops below B+. In the event of the occurrence of the excluding criterion, 0
(zero) Available Shares may be distributed, regardless of whether criteria 1-4 are fulfilled.
The vesting period of ESOP is January 1, 2020 – December 31, 2022, that is 3 years, with the emphasis
on meeting 2022 target figures. Given that the above conditions may be met by December 31, 2022,
the date of vesting is that date.
The ESOP Organization is entitled to withhold a ratio of Available Shares whose market value at the
time of provision provides coverage for the fulfillment of tax and contribution payment obligations
borne by the Employee.
Early exercise of the option is not possible. No option was exercised before the reporting date.
Principles of presentation
Considering that ESOP is a transaction related to services received from employees, the fair value of
which cannot be measured reliably, their fair value was determined based on the fair value of the
equity instrument provided.
Not applying the provisions of the Remuneration Policy for 2020, the beneficiary Employees
irrevocably waived their right of choice retroactively to 12/21/2020 and according to such waiver they
intend to acquire the shares that may be acquired in the form of securities. Consequently, the
accounting treatment of ESOP is governed by the rules for share-based payment transactions where
the terms of the arrangement are no longer affected by the choice and the method of settlement
under which the equity component of a complex financial instrument needs to be accounted for.
In view of this, the ESOP as a whole was accounted for as an equity instrument.
Notes to the separate financial statement 2021 of ALTEO Nyrt.
83 / 104
Calculation principles for fair valuation
As of the reporting date, the fair value of ESOP is equal to the time-vested part of the fair value of a
share multiplied by the number of shares expected to be acquired (i.e. the fair value of the total
liability).
The starting point of the current fair value of the shares is the market price, i.e. the closing
price observed on the Budapest Stock Exchange and valid as at the grant date.
The market price is reduced by the present value of the dividends expected to be paid during
the vesting period (2021-2022) as the Employees will not be entitled to them prior to
fulfillment of the criteria. The expected amount of the dividend payment is based on the
dividend paid in the past.
The number of benefits expected to be vested has been determined on the basis of the best estimate
available, using analyzes and simulations for the financial indicators underlying the performance
conditions (see vesting criteria).
The Company recognizes expenses when they are provided by the employee during the vesting period,
that is, between the beginning of the scheme (January 1, 2020) and the date of vesting (December 31,
2022). The value of the liability on the reporting date is the time-vested part of the total liability, i.e.
two third.
Employee reward program
In the current year, the Company distributed shares to the value of HUF 1,650 thousand to the
employees who were entitled to these on the basis of the Company’s recognition plan. In connection
with the shares granted, the transfer of the shares started on February 4, 2022.

Cash flow hedge reserve
The accounting policy of the Company established hedge connection between certain transactions and
certain derivatives. These hedges qualify as cash flow hedges. The Company recognizes profits and
losses from the hedging item of the cash flow hedge as other comprehensive income, and gathers such
profits and losses in this equity component. The balance in the cash flow hedge fund is reclassified by
the Company in the net profit or loss at the closing of the transaction (or if the hedge connection is
cancelled from any other reason). No such transaction took place in 2021.

Equity correlation table required as part of Section 114/B of the
Accounting Act
The correlation table presents the impact of transactions that modify equity compared to the format
required by the annual report according to the Accounting Act applied earlier.
The face value of own shares repurchased decreases the amount of the issued capital
according to the IFRS standards. As of the end of the period, the Company held 7,487
shares with a face value of HUF 12.5 each. This share inventory is the reason for the
difference between the amount of issued capital from the value registered at the registry
court.

Unused development reserve. In 2019, the Company established development reserves in
the amount of HUF 203,257 thousand, all of which had been used by the end of 2021. In
2021 the Company generated development reserves in the amount of HUF 3,150,000
thousand.

Provisions
The Company recognized provisions in respect of the O&M contractual obligations of a subsidiary
merged in the previous year. The entire amount relates to the renovation of the mixed bed at Tisza
WTP Kft. These contractual obligations still existed unchanged in the current year. In the opinion of
the Company’s management, the provisions will be released beyond one year.

Long-term loans and borrowings and other long-term liabilities
Other long-term liabilities
HUF 294,408 thousand is recorded as conditional purchase price under other long-term liabilities in
relation to the Zugló-Therm Kft. share. In the current year, in addition to the impact of the
amortization, an adjustment was also recognized in relation to the purchase price because the
condition related to the payment of the obligation was met. The above stated items are measured by
the Company at amortized cost. The liability’s amortized carrying value as of the reporting date was
HUF 294,408 thousand. The fair value of the items above does not materially differ from their
amortized cost.
25.
Lease liabilities
The Company’s leases mature as follows:
None of the lease arrangements include contingent lease payments. The ownership of leased cars is
not transferred to the Company upon maturity of the lease and there is no related call option in place
either. None of the lease contracts contain an automatic extension option.
If the mileage is exceeded, settlement takes place at the end of the lease term. The variable fee
component is calculated based on the number of excess kilometers. The variable fee components are
not recognized either as part of the right-of-use asset or the lease liability.
The Company uses the benefits as per IFRS16 in force in the current year and recognizes the following
items as lease payments: the lease payments on central offices up to the date of the change of the
registered office, the car leases maturing within one year and the lease of certain IT equipment of small
value. The lease of these assets is recognized directly in the statement of financial position of the
period in question among the material expenses. These items are presented in detail in section 2.
Movements in rights of use in the current year are included in Note 9.

Type of client
Risk management
Lease receivables
The receivable is secured by the ownership rights of the Company’s
own subsidiary and its free cash balances provide additional
collateral.
In Management’s opinion, client risks have not changed significantly compared to the previous periods.
During the current year, it was not necessary to draw down bank guarantees or any other collateral
pledged by clients.
Risk factors have been taken into account and have been quantified in the course of the review of the
ECL model.
The details of the Company’s receivables and the expected losses relating to such receivables are
presented in Sections 15 and 17.
Interest rate risk calculation and management
The Company is funded through fixed coupon bonds.
The future cash flows of the bonds and the credit terms are explained in detail in Section 27
Foreign currency risk calculation and management
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value of the Company’s future cash flows will fluctuate
because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign
exchange rates relates to the Company’s operating activities (certain expenses are denominated in a
foreign currency). ALTEO manages its foreign currency risk by hedging transactions the forecasted
purchases that are expected to occur within the next 12-month period and that are settled by members
through the cash pool system.
Presentation of the Company’s foreign exchange denominated financial instruments as at the
reporting date, and changes to the same where there is a one per cent change in the exchange rate.
The Company had no hedging transactions in 2021.

Liquidity risk
The 10-year bonds issued in 2020 significantly contributed to the improvement of the liquid assets
available to the Group. As of the reporting date, it was not necessary to use the available working
capital loan facility for ensuring liquidity. The Group supports the liquidity requirements of its members
through a cash-pool system.

ALTEO Nyrt. Annual Report for 2021
Introduction
Pursuant to Act V of 2013 on the Civil Code (hereinafter: “Civil Code”), Act CXX of 2001 on the Capital
Market, the Regulation of the Budapest Stock Exchange Ltd. on the Rules of Listing and Continued
Trading (hereinafter: Regulation”), Decree No. 24/2008 (VIII.15.) of the Minister of Finance
(hereinafter: MF Decree”), and Act C of 2000 on Accounting, ALTEO Energiaszolgáltató Nyilvánosan
Működő Részvénytársaság (hereinafter: Company” or ALTEO”) has prepared and hereby publishes
The Management Report and Analysis” on its annual profit or loss, and the financial statements for
the financial year 2021 (hereinafter collectively: “Annual Report”).
The Annual Report and the Annual Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared based
on Annex 2 to the MF Decree, according to the requirements set forth in Act C of 2000 on Accounting,
in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards published in the Official Journal of
the European Union.
The data presented in the Company’s consolidated Annual Report and Annual Financial Statements for
2021 were verified by an independent auditor.
The Annual Report of ALTEO Nyrt. consists of the following documents, occasionally in separate
documents, but disclosed at the same time as this Annual Report:
1. Annual report;

ALTEO Nyrt. Annual Report for 2021

1 The Management’s report and analysis of business activities for 2021
1.1 Executive summary on events yielding significant results over the period
Its 2021 results confirmed ALTEO’s strategy and the successful investments of the past period. ALTEO’s
profitability was only moderately affected by the COVID epidemic compared to other more procyclical
sectors, partly due to the risk management measures taken by the Company and the fact that the
negative impact of the epidemic was far outweighed by the excellent results achieved with other
activities.
In 2021, the net profit of ALTEO Nyrt. after tax increased significantly. The change was stemming from
the following:
(i) the outstanding performance of the virtual power plant in charge of heat and electricity
generation has been positively supported by the 18MW expansion of the power plant
portfolio’s gas engine capacity in 2020 and the significant price increase in the global market;
(ii) an outstanding record profit in the Retail segment, which was the hardest hit by the effects of
the epidemic and was also impacted by the rise in global prices.
On December 7, 2021, ALTEO was awarded an investment development grant of more than HUF 400
million to realize its innovation efforts. The aim of the project is to develop a highly automated, AI
based energy IT system that is capable of making autonomous production and commercial decisions,
and controlling and optimizing “smart” power plant electricity production.
In November 2021, a 5 MW capacity energy storage unit was commissioned at the Kazincbarcika
Heating Power Plant. This project was, in part, implemented using a non-refundable grant.
In July 2021, Scope ratings reaffirmed the previous rating (BBB-) of Alteo’s bonds, and on January 10,
2022, the bond package “ALTEO 2022/I” (HUF 650 million) was repaid by ALTEO.
The Group was also presented with the Green Frog Award for the Best Sustainability Report by Deloitte
Hungary.
Executive summary of the operating profit or loss statement
The result of 2021, although partly a one-off event, is a good feedback to ALTEO’s management that
the strategy presented earlier and revised in early 2022 is working. Environmental and social
sustainability continues to have a crucial role in our strategy.

2.2 Information on the ownership structure of the Company and voting rights
2.2.1 Composition of the issued capital, rights and obligations related to

The Company is a company established under Hungarian law (governing law).
The Company was founded on April 28, 2008 as a private limited company for an indefinite period of
time. The legal form was changed to public limited company as of September 6, 2010 and the Company
was listed on the Budapest Stock Exchange. The ordinary shares issued belong to the same series and

in the Company’s Articles of Association. The transferability of the shares is not restricted.
2.2.2 Limitation of voting rights related to the shares
Pursuant to Section 9.8 of the Articles of Association of the Company, a shareholder or holder of voting
rights (hereinafter, for the purposes of this section: “shareholder”) is required, when notifying a change
in their voting rights as defined in Article 61 of Act CXX of 2001 on the Capital Market (“Capital Market
Act”), to submit a written declaration to the Board of Directors concerning the composition of the
shareholder group and the nature of the relationship between the members of such shareholder group,
taking into account Section 61(5) and (9) of the Capital Market Act. Such notification obligation applies
to shareholders only if there has been a change in the shareholder group since the publication of the
previous notice. In the event of failure to provide notification or full notification regarding the
composition of the shareholder group as required in the previous sentence, or where the acquisition of
control is subject to a regulatory approval or acknowledgement, which the shareholder had failed to
obtain, or if there is reason to assume that the shareholder has deceived the Board of Directors
concerning the composition of the shareholder group, the voting right of the shareholder will be
suspended by the decision of the Board of Directors at any time even after its entry into the share
register, and may not be exercised until the above requirement has been fully satisfied. Furthermore, at
the request of the Board of Directors, shareholders are required to promptly make a statement
specifying who the ultimate beneficial owner with respect to the shares owned, or the beneficial owner
of the shareholder is. If the shareholder fails to act upon such request or if there is reason to assume
that the shareholder has deceived the Board of Directors, the voting right of the shareholder is
suspended and may not be exercised until the above requirements have been fully satisfied. For the
purposes of this section, “shareholder group” means, with respect to a particular shareholder, such
shareholder and the persons specified in Section 61(5) and (9) of the Capital Market Act, whose voting
rights related to their share must be regarded as the voting rights of the shareholder concerned. For the
15 / 30

purposes of this Section, “beneficial owner” means the person specified in Section 3(38) of Act LIII of
2017 on the Prevention and Combating of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing.
Pursuant to Section 19(7) of the Act XVIII of 2005 on District Heating, Section 95(3) of the Act LXXXVI of
2007 on Electricity and Section 123(7) of the Act XL of 2008 on Natural Gas Supply, in the case of an
event relevant in terms of company law or acquisition specified in these laws, in the absence of the prior
decision on approval or the acknowledgement of the Hungarian Energy and Public Utility Regulatory
Authority (the specific form of consent is governed by the given law, depending on the event relevant
in terms of company law, the range of acquisition, and the nature of the license), the acquiring party

As a general rule, the amendment of the Articles of Association is within the competence of the General

with the relevant rules of the Civil Code.
Without specific authorization from the General Meeting, the Board of Directors may not make any
decision on issuing shares.
In its Resolution No. 13/2019. (IV.26.) the General Meeting of the Company repealed its previous
Resolution No. 3/2015. (XI.10.) on authorization and authorized the Board of Directors to adopt a
decision on the increase of the share capital of the Company at its own discretion, with at least four
members of the Board of Directors voting in favor. Pursuant to such authorization, the Board of Directors
may increase the share capital of the Company by up to HUF 150,000,000, calculated at the face value
of the shares issued by the Company, in aggregate (authorized share capital) in the five-year period
starting on April 26, 2019. The authorization shall cover all cases and means of share capital increase set
out in the Civil Code, as well as the restriction or exclusion of exercising preferential rights regarding
subscription for and takeover of the shares, as well as the adopting of decisions relating to the share
capital increase otherwise delegated by the Civil Code and other legislation and by the Company’s
Articles of Association to the competence of the General Meeting, including any amendment of the
Articles of Association necessitated by the capital increase.
Acting within the competence of the General Meeting, the Board of Directors adopted Resolution No.
8/2021. (IV.19.) to provide the Board of Directors with an authorization for a period of 18 (eighteen)
months starting on April 19, 2021, to adopt resolutions on the acquisition by the Company of shares of
all types and classes and of any face value, issued by the Company, supported by at least three quarters
of the votes that can be cast by the members of the Board of Directors, and to enter into and perform
such transactions for and on behalf of the Company, or to engage a third party for the conclusion of such
transactions. The number of shares that can be acquired based on the authorization is equal to a number
of shares with a total face value of no more than twenty-five per cent of the share capital, and the total
face value of own shares owned by the Company may not exceed this rate at any time. The own shares
can be acquired for or without consideration, on the stock market and through public offering or unless
the possibility is excluded by the law – in over-the-counter trading. In the event of acquiring own shares

for consideration, the lowest amount of the consideration payable for a share should be HUF 1 (one
Hungarian forint), and the highest amount should be HUF 2,500 (two thousand five hundred Hungarian

a way that the Company may authorize the management of any subsidiary of the Company by means of
resolutions of the members or shareholders (resolutions adopted by the members’ meeting or the

2.7 The business environment of ALTEO, classification of risks according to their characteristics
The description and assessment of risks are included in Section III.2 Risks of the Financial Statements.
Changes in risks are presented in the financial statements.
2.8 Description of the policies applied in ALTEO, details of results by policy
2.8.1 Environmental guidelines
ALTEO prepared its first Sustainability Report for the fiscal year 2016, detailing the Company’s non-
financial, social and environmental policies and its annual performance. We ensure the relevance and
transparency of our sustainability data by applying the GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) Standards
methodology, the most recognized international standard, in preparing our non-financial reports, and
by having these certified by a third party annually. We prepare a report on our sustainability efforts
every year and, since 2019, we have published it in the form of an Integrated Report. Our Sustainability
Reports published so far are available to all interested parties on this website:
https://alteo.hu/fenntarthatosag/fenntarthatosagi-jelentesek/. As our Integrated Report contains the
details of the Company's data, policies, objectives in connection with environmental protection and
sustainable business operations, this business report, based on the contents of the Integrated Report,
provides only a summary of environmental policies and results.
Our Integrated Management System, which includes the standards ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management
Systems, ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management Systems, ISO 45001:2018 Health & Safety
Management System and ISO 50001:2018 Energy Management Systems, has been extended to apply to
the entire ALTEO and its subsidiaries. The Integrated Management Policy (publicly available at
https://alteo.hu/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/alteo_integralt_politika.pdf) is the fundamental
document for this system,
in which the company’s management commits itself to providing quality services, safe work
environment, energy efficiency, environmental protection and sustainability.
26 / 30
ALTEO Nyrt. Annual Report for 2021
In 2021, we ensured our compliance with the standards by conducting 44 internal audits covering the
operation of the Integrated Management System in compliance with all four standards at all of our sites
and organizational units.
In 2021, 10 HSE-type inspections were carried out by various authorities, which resulted in 4 logged
inspections. The inspections did not result in any compulsory orders or fines being imposed by the
authorities.
Since the residual fuel stock stored at the Győr Power Plant can no longer be used in power plant
technology and thus poses a significant environmental threat and fire hazard, the entire stock thereof
was removed from the site in 2021. The removal of the residual fuel oil stock involved the sale of nearly
137 tons of fuel oil and the disposal of 90 tons of hazardous waste.
A separate document, the Integrated Report 2021, will describe our environmental policies and the
associated results in detail.
2.8.2 Respect for human rights, ethics
The purpose of this section is to describe the significant risks to human rights compliance that may result
in adverse effects in the context of the Company's activities and how it manages those risks.
ALTEO has established a Compliance Management System (hereinafter: CMS”). The CMS is designed to
ensure compliance with laws, internal rules and the Group’s Code of Ethics in respect of the entire
Group.
The standards established in ALTEO’s Code of Ethics impose higher requirements on Group employees
compared to existing laws.
It is a useful guide which offers help and protection to our employees and provides information to our
partners about the standards of behavior endorsed and expected by our Group.
The standards established in ALTEO’s Code of Ethics impose higher requirements on Group employees
compared to existing laws.
In 2021, in line with ESG considerations and due to the two-year review, we amended the Code of Ethics,
with an increased focus on our commitment to basic human rights, meeting our sustainability objectives
and action against corruption and fraud. We have added to our core values: respect for human rights,
transparency, fair market practices, respect for others and integrity.
The Company is committed to respecting human rights. Respect for human rights includes, among
others: non-discrimination, freedom of thought, conscience and religion, freedom of expression, respect
for private and family life.

ALTEO Nyrt. Annual Report for 2021
2.8.3 Fundamental rights in practice
The CMS fundamentally provides a supportive, preventive and control function to prevent damage and
abuse and minimize risk across the entire operation of the Company.
2.8.4 Policies applied in connection with the fight against corruption
The CMS fundamentally provides a supportive, preventive and control function to prevent damage and
abuse and minimize risk across the entire operation of the Company.
We firmly reject all forms of corruption and bribery, which are regarded as particularly serious ethical
violations in the context of government officials, suppliers and business partners. We apply zero
tolerance to all cases involving bribery or corruption.
We conduct our procurement procedures transparently and in accordance with our internal rules.
We assess potential suppliers on the basis of a pre-qualification process (also taking financial and legal
aspects into consideration). We do not enter into a business relationship with any supplier that does not
meet the Company’s requirements. We expect our business partners to know, accept and comply with
our Code of Ethics.
We operate a whistleblowing hotline for reporting corruption and fraud, but reports can also be made
via email or over the phone. We also provide whistleblowers with the possibility of anonymity.
In all cases of suspected corruption or fraud, we conduct an investigation in accordance with our internal
rules of procedures. ALTEO firmly stands up for the principle that all forms of retaliation or discrimination
are unacceptable against whistleblowers who report suspected corruption or fraud, even if a bona fide
report does not result in the identification of any illegal or inappropriate acts.
In 2021, no cases of suspected corruption came to the Company’s knowledge.
Conflict of interest
ALTEO is particularly dedicated to the detection and prevention of economic conflicts of interest,
therefore all new entrants must make a conflict of interest statement. In 2021, we reviewed the
employees’ conflict of interest statements. According to the review, there were no employees who did
not report their relationship with companies, other employment, etc.
RISK MAP – Corruption index
In 2021, now for the seventh consecutive year, ALTEO has prepared a compliance risk map using a
questionnaire to measure the Company’s risk index in finances, accounting, human resources, corporate
management and publicity in order to eliminate the potential for corruption, fraud and abuse.
An extended group of managers (28) completed the questionnaire this year. In order to fill the gaps
identified by the questionnaire, the Ethics, Compliance and Control entity organizes regular meetings
and provides ongoing support to the business areas on all compliance issues.

ALTEO Nyrt. Annual Report for 2021
2.8.5 Employment policy
The employment policy of ALTEO continues to focus on the retention, motivation and development of
existing employees and, at the same time, on the selection and integration of new ones. We create an
effective teamwork culture: we consider developing an innovative corporate culture and establishing
standards of behavior key strategic objectives. ALTEO believes that the loyalty and motivation of their
employees are founded on the stable workplace, good working conditions, complex tasks and
competitive wages provided by the Company. The physical safety of our employees always comes first;
we focus on their long-term commitment, assess their wellbeing through different measurements and
forums, and make efforts to maintain a partner like relationship with the Works Council. Every year, we
provide our employees with a cafeteria allowance, and we offer a wide variety of benefits within the
framework thereof, in accordance with the relevant laws.
At the end of 2021, the closing workforce headcount was 286, which is 8 more than in 2020; there were
7 part-time and 279 full-time employees. The number of employees with indefinite term contracts was
286. In 2020, 77% of the staff members were men and 23% were women. This gender ratio is basically
defined by the nature of the energy sector, as most of the staff deal with the operation of power plants.
At the same time, the Company aims to increase the proportion of women, which shows an improving
trend year after year.
ALTEO Nyrt. is considered an attractive workplace, as evidenced not only by the number of new entrants,
but also by the rate of staff turnover at 11%.
ALTEO consciously seeks to increase the proportion of the young generation within the organization,
since the management of the Company believes that ALTEO can provide professional development and
great opportunities to them. This is essential for maintaining ALTEO’s quality services and reliable work
performance, as a constrictive age pyramid means that numerous colleagues with great expertise and
work experience – many active in the energy sector for 30 years – are set to retire in the coming years,
and the Company strives to recruit highly-trained and committed young members of staff to the
positions that will be opening up down the line.
The expertise and experience obtained in various fields of the energy industry are the core values of
ALTEO. To ensure that ALTEO can provide high-quality services to its partners, it enables its employees
to deepen their knowledge through regular training courses. The objectives of the courses are to enable
our employees to improve their efficiency, to acquire critical qualifications for their work, and to update
and complement their existing knowledge base. The training offerings also include compulsory courses
prescribed by law or by internal regulations, as well as internal knowledge sharing.
