Letter from the CEO
| A year of building common
structures ^
Reflecting on the past year in Arribatec, we are proud to share our progress,
milestones and developments. In addition to an increase in organic growth,
2022 has been a transformative year for Arribatec. We have invested
significant amount of time and resources on building structure, processes,
policies and tools in order to better prepare the group for profitable growth in
the coming years.
The ongoing pressure on companies globally to automate, improve, and create value has during
2022 created significant opportunities for organic growth for Arribatec.
We have been winning contracts across all our business areas with a broader selection of
products and services. The holistic product offerings and our expertise we now have in our group
differentiate us in the market, as we offer a unique mix of consulting, management systems and
cloud services like no other provider can, and this drove a 22% revenue growth for the group
for 2022.

Prepared for profitable growth sustainable in the long run
To prepare for accelerated growth, we have spent the past year on strategic initiatives, taking
action where we were subpar and adjusting our organisation. This included resizing BA Marine,
selling a part of our IP, Infoship Performance; resizing and moving our software development
activities from Poland to Norway and finalizing the core products for Hospitality.
As a result, we are now well-equipped to grow further, and we have already experienced the
synergies from great collaborations and joint processes across our business areas. This has
created new opportunities that we could only seize as a group.
All internal processes and systems in place
Internally, we have achieved several milestones that have been critical to position ourselves
for continued success. This includes implementing Business Process Management (BPM) and
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems and several extensive security-, risks- and compli-
ance projects. Everything was implemented by use of internal resources, and the teams involved
have done a fantastic job simplifying our organisational structure, streamlining our daily operations
and securing compliance.
We moved in to a new group head office in Oslo in early 2022, creating an inclusive and inspiring
environment that connects all our business areas to a united group. The move has brought all our
teams and business areas together under one roof, allowing us to work more collaboratively and
take advantage of the group’s broad expertise.
Bold promise and disruption
We always had a holistic and client-centric approach, putting the needs of our clients at the
forefront of everything we do. 2022 was the year we made a bold promise to all our clients and
partners; as problem solvers, we streamline our client’s processes and systems - making them
as efficient as possible with lasting results.
This has resulted in a new tagline that reflects our commitment to simplifying complexity.
Our new tagline, “We simplify complexity”, represents our determination to provide simplified
solutions that solve complex business challenges.
Looking ahead, we are excited about the opportunities that await. New technology and
advances in AI represent significant opportunities for Arribatec. I am of the firm belief that we
are well positioned to take advantage of the opportunities these inevitable changes represent
for the entire globe. We remain committed to simplifying complexity and providing end-to-end
solutions to complex business challenges. We will continue to prioritise sustainability, social
responsibility, and innovation in everything we do.
Sincerely,
Geir Johansen

measuring the starting point and tracking the progress. In
2022, the focus has been on establishing the baseline and
defining the appropriate targets. To ensure consistency and
avoid fragmentation in the efforts, Arribatec has opted to use
the GRI standards to report on the ESG performance. This
includes implementing common processes for collecting data,
reporting, monitoring performance, and taking appropriate
action where needed. The following three subsections will
elaborate on the work Arribatec has undertaken and the
performance.
Environment
The ongoing effects of climate change become increas-
ingly evident each year, making it one of the most pressing
challenges of our era. As a multinational organisation with
operations in close to 30 countries, Arribatec is dedicated to
fulfilling the responsibility in addressing climate change and
minimizing the emissions intensity as the group continue to
grow.

Energy
The operations produce the following emissions based on
the GHG emission standard; scope 1 and 2. Arribatec has
ESG- reporters (supervisors) located at every office with key
responsibility to report annually on all metrics.
Scope 1 emissions:
2 781 tonnes CO
2
e
Scope 1 emissions are direct greenhouse (GHG) emissions that
occur from sources that are controlled or owned by Arribatec
(e.g., emissions associated with fuel combustion in boilers,
furnaces, vehicles).
Scope 2 emissions:
167 438 tonnes CO
2
e
Scope 2 emissions are indirect GHG emissions associated with
the purchase of electricity, steam, heat, or cooling. Although
scope 2 emissions physically occur at the facility where they
are generated, they are accounted for in Arribatec’s GHG
inventory because they are a result of the organisation’s
energy use.
The emission for 2022 will found the baseline for future
improvements. The strategy states that Arribatec shall “reduce
the emission from direct activities by 30% by 2024 compared
to baseline in 2023”. This work has already started.
Energy consumption through own operations
kWh
Cooling 395 182
Heating 856 358
Electricity renewable 180 828
Electricity non-renewable 399 048
Arribatec has identified where the energy consumption
comes from, helping the company identify where the need for
improvement is to meet the goal of reducing the emission and
ultimately become carbon neutral. Given the locations, most
of the energy comes from heating. Arribatec strive to get most
of the electricity from renewable energy. As a result, Arribatec
has ensured that all the datacentres have green electricity
certificates and that the suppliers are chosen based on their
environmental performance.
Circular economy
As a first assignment to reuse and recycle 100% of all elec-
tronic waste by 2026, Arribatec needed to create the baseline
for the e-waste reduction. Equipment disposal closets was
launched early in 2022 to many of our offices, making sure all
equipment not possible to reuse internally are either recycled
or fixed to be reused.

Social
Arribatec strongly believe that the core strength of the group
lies in the day-to-day efforts of the employees, who work
tirelessly to grow the business and enable Arribatec to help
clients in overcoming their challenges and seizing new oppor-
tunities. In other words, the employees are the driving force
behind the company, and it is therefore essential to continu-
ously prioritize their needs and aspirations to ensure continued
growth. The social impact goes beyond the work Arribatec
do for the employees and clients. Arribatec strive to make a
positive difference in the communities and the world through
charitable initiatives, sponsorships and volunteer work.
Corporate Social Responsibility
Arribatec is committed to be a good corporate citizen and
demonstrate integrity and high ethical standards in all its busi-
ness dealings.
Arribatec’s Board of Directors has implemented guidelines for
Ethical and Corporate Social Responsibility. The purpose of
these guidelines is to create a sound corporate culture and
to preserve the integrity of Arribatec by helping employees
to promote standards of good business practice. Arribatec’s
guidelines on Ethical and Social Responsibilities applies to all
employees of the Group and to anyone who holds a position
of trust in the Group, including members of the boards and
consultants acting on behalf of the Group.
The principles and standards provided therein aim to provide
guidance to Arribatec’s people for a common platform and to
support Arribatec’s vision, core values and principles. These
guidelines are instrumental for Arribatec’s approach to human
rights, fair working environment and equal rights, health and
safety, environment, business ethics and anti-corruption.
The Group regularly reviews the guidelines and will continue
its ongoing efforts to educate the organisation on the
prevailing standards and principles. Arribatec’s Ethical and
Corporate Social Responsibility Guideline is publicly available
on Arribatec’s website.
Human rights
Arribatec shall ensure that the company’s business conduct
is being performed in a way that secures human rights as
described in the UN’s universal “Declaration of Human Rights”.
One of the main topics in the declaration describes the right to
express one’s own convictions, opinions and concerns in good
faith and without retaliation.
Working environment
The Group has business contacts of different nationalities
and cultures and has built an international mindset for years.
Employees are encouraged to treat each other and business
contacts with respect and act according to local laws and
regulations, as well as to pay attention to local values and
norms for social conduct. The Group does not tolerate derog-
atory treatment of any employee. The Board of Directors and
Management seeks to create a working environment that is
pleasant, stimulating, safe and beneficial to all employees.
The Group’s working environment complies with applicable
rules and regulations and the Board of Directors has not found
reason to implement any special measures in this respect.
Going forward, Arribatec commits to actively continue its work
for a safe and nurturing working environment in accordance
with applicable rules and regulations.
Equal rights
Arribatec does not accept discrimination on the grounds
of race, colour, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability,
language, religion, legitimate political or other opinions,
national or social origin, property, birth or other status. The
Group’s facilities are equally well equipped for females and
males. The Group complies with Norwegian legal require-
ments with respect to gender representation in the Board of
Directors.
The Board of Directors will continue its efforts to ensure that
the principle of equal treatment is carried out in accordance
with the adopted policy. Both recruitment of new personnel
and professional development for the Group’s existing
employees will be based on qualifications, achievements and
equal opportunities.
Health and Safety
Health and safety are indispensable components of all the
Group’s activities. All hazards and risks to health and safety
must be mitigated when identified. Generally, Arribatec’s
business involves low risk in the day-to-day activities, without
the use of chemicals, heavy machinery or equipment that can

cause damage or injuries. Delivery of Arribatec’s services and
solutions is sometimes done in cooperation with business
partners, which all shall be of good reputation and standing.
Environment
The Group’s operations shall always be in accordance with
applicable environmental legislation. Arribatec’s guidelines on
Social and Corporate Responsibility provide that the Group
shall always strive for improvements that may reduce its
environmental impact. Arribatec does not own or operate
manufacturing facilities. Arribatec seeks to limit its resource
consumption, prevent unnecessary environmental pollution,
including optimising transportation of goods, and manage
waste in an environment-friendly and resource-efficient
manner.
Business ethics and anti-corruption
The Group’s operations depend on the trust of contractual
parties, authorities, shareholders, employees and society in
general. In order to gain trust, the Group is dependent upon
professionalism, expertise and high ethical standards in all
aspects of the Group’s work. This applies to the way the Group
operates and the conduct of everyone associated with the
Group. All employees are expected to behave with care, integ-
rity and professionalism and abstain from actions that may
weaken confidence in the Group.
The Group’s Ethical Guidelines and Corporate Social
Responsibility Guidelines contain guidelines on ethical
behaviour in business relations and are applicable to all
employees in the Group. These guidelines clearly state
that Arribatec has a zero-tolerance policy for any form of
corruption or bribery and encourages reporting of suspected
misconduct.
The Group’s guidelines explicitly govern conflict of interests,
gifts and money laundering. No employee may receive bene-
fits for themselves or for others from the Group’s business
contacts if such benefits are based on the employment rela-
tionship. Correspondingly, no one shall give such benefits to
the Group’s business contacts. Business courtesies of modest
value, conforming to normal social customs and not intended
for influence, are not considered bribes.
All gifts with an estimated value of more than NOK 1 000 must
be reported to the Group’s CFO, who will assess whether
the relevant gift can be received on a case-by-case basis.
Arribatec has to date not been accused of, or involved in, any
cases pertaining to any form of corruption or bribery. Arribatec
encourages each employee to report on possible censurable
incidents.
Arribatec’s employees have an obligation to report on criminal
activity and on incidents that could endanger life or health.
Raising awareness of Arribatec’s existing guidelines has been
the Group’s main action with regard to business ethics and
anti-corruption, and the Group will continue such work going
forward. Neither the Board of Directors nor management are
aware of any breach of the Group’s ethical code of conduct.

Work force highlights
Work environment
Arribatec run weekly pulse surveys to measure, monitor and
follow-up job satisfaction. The weekly survey allows the
company to build a healthy and productive culture from the
ground up, by listening to the employees and actioning their
feedback. Despite the challenging time in the marked and the
changes Arribatec has gone through the satisfaction numbers
on all nine parameters are still around industry index. One of
the strategic objectives for 2023 is to score above industry
index in all parameters.
Diversity highlights
The Group is founded based on senior high-level competence
providing the marked with the most in depth expertise within
its domains, which is reflected in the age distribution. The
average age in Arribatec is 40. The youngest employees are
apprentices, while the largest age group is between 40-49
years. Arribatec value age diversity and are committed to
maintaining a broad range of ages within the workforce, as it
creates a more productive and conducive work environment.
To ensure preparedness for any potential organisational
changes, Arribatec has performed a succession planning
process for all levels within the organisation. This strategic
initiative is aimed at identifying and developing potential
successors for key positions, with a focus on building a
strong talent pipeline that can help maintain continuity and
stability even in times of change. By proactively planning

for succession, Arribatec aim to mitigate potential risks and
ensure that the right people are in the right roles at the right
time.
The voluntary turnover rate at Arribatec stands at 8.53%.
While the aim is to retain the employees for the long-term,
some amount of turnover can be healthy as it brings in new
employees with new energy, skills and perspectives. In 2022,
Arribatec hired 82 new employees, most of whom were hired
as part of the growth strategy, while some were replacements.
Arribatec place great importance on diversity, which is
evident from the fact that the work force includes 29 different
nationalities.
The gender diversity
The workforce currently has a higher number of men than
women. This is not intentional, but rather a result of the
companies that has been acquired in recent years and the
limited number of women available in the industry. However,
Arribatec are encouraged by the fact that the ratio is gradually
improving, and are actively working towards achieving a more
balanced gender ratio.
Ratio of salary of women to men
• Ratio of salary of women to men (Top Management): 1.01
• Ratio of salary of women to men (Mid Management): 1.22
• Ratio of salary of women to men (Non-Management
employee): 0.84
The ratio of women’s salaries to men’s salaries is slightly higher
for those in management positions, while it is lower for those
in non-management positions. Arribatec regularly monitors
this ratio to ensure that no intentional or unintentional discrim-
ination exists. Upon closer examination, it is apparent that the
variation in the ratio is influenced by factors such as seniority,
competence and skills, educational level, and job position.
Sick leave
Arribatec has a low sick leave percentage of 2.05% of total
workdays, which is a privilege. Arribatec recognize the
importance of physical and mental health, which is why it is
prioritized as a focus area throughout the year. Recently, a
mental health campaign was conducted to bring attention to a
topic that can be difficult for many to talk about.

Arribatec understand that achieving a work-life balance can
be challenging, which is why a system to monitor the number
of hours worked by each employee has been implemented
to ensure that every employee maintain a healthy balance.
Additionally, Arribatec keep a close eye on the results of the
weekly pulse survey to identify any negative trends that may
contribute to increased sick leave. Various social events take
place in different parts of Arribatec to foster a positive work
environment, in addition to provide training activities such as
trips or gym membership sponsorships to promote physical
activity among the employees. As part of the employee bene-
fits program, Arribatec offer insurance and health benefits.
Arribatec do a lot of environmental acts such as installing
beehives, planting trees and cleaning beaches. To the right,
an example from when the Spanish team planted trees outside
Granada.
During 2022, instead of holiday presents to the employees,
Arribatec arranged a survey among the employees to decide
where donations should be given. As a result, Arribatec gave
donations to Children International, Doctors without Borders,
Care, International Federation Red Cross and Red Crescent
and UNICEF.

In addition, the experienced consultants offer both advice and
delivery services based on clients’ unique situations and ambi-
tions. The seamless integration of the enterprise architecture
and business management products and services with ERP
solutions, analytics, and cloud infrastructure is a testament
to the commitment to providing end-to-end solutions for the
clients.
Although most of the group’s revenue still comes from Norway,
Arribatec aims to become a more prominent player outside
Norway. The group’s focus remains on generating recurring
revenue in addition to revenue through consultancy services.
Operation and Segments
Arribatec is divided into five business areas, ref Note 5:
• Enterprise Architecture and
Business process management (EA&BPM)
• Cloud services
• Business Services (BizS)
• Marine
• Hospitality
The three largest Business Areas (BA’s) are all industry
agnostic, meaning the product and services delivered by
the BA’s, can be sold to any industry, private or public.
Cooperation between those three larger BAs; EA&BPM, BizS
and Cloud is natural, and they meet the needs of medium- and
large-sized mature organisations. They are the three largest
BA’s both in terms of people and activities and they are
considered as the group’s horizontals.
Arribatec acquired a start-up that has been further developed
and refined during the past two years and represent the
Business Area Hospitality. Hospitality has concentrated its
efforts on the Nordic market and simultaneously completed
the development of the next generation customer experience
with self-service/check-in kiosks. In addition to finalizing the
product development, Hospitality has forged strategic part-
nerships with some of the most prominent global players in the
hospitality industry. The Arribatec Hospitality brand is gaining
recognition in the market, and Hospitality receive weekly
requests from companies seeking to be clients or partners.
In 2022, Hospitality secured contracts with renowned hotel
chains and stand-alone hotels in both Norway and Sweden,
with satisfaction scores exceeding industry standards. All these
accomplishments bode well for a promising 2023.
Marine deliver its self-developed software delivered to the
shipping industry bringing ship owners to a different level of
control of their vessels with functions designed to cope with
their specific market requirements. Marine underwent an
extensive restructuring process during 2022, which included
sales of one IP and a further redundancy process scaling down
the number of employees by 32. In addition to the restruc-
turing process, Marine focused on maintaining talent and client
satisfaction in a market still suffering from the aftermath of the
pandemic.
Arribatec has completed its primary integration activities. The
group has established organisational structures, processes,
and systems that can handle substantially higher volumes.
As a result, Arribatec is beginning to see the fruits of its
integration activities from the last eight quarters. Employees
are working seamlessly across locations and departments,
creating new opportunities for the company. Clients are
purchasing more of the group’s services and products and
more talents apply to our job openings.
Arribatec experience a low churn and a net client growth. Our
biggest contracts ever were signed in 2022. Being a part of
something larger, with a wide range of offerings, has proven to
be highly valued by our clients.

of number of employees in 2022. Number of full-time
employees decreased from 374 as per 31.12.2021 to 353 as
per 31.12.2022. The average number of FTEs was 363 in 2022
compared to 273 in 2021. The decrease mainly stems from the
restructuring of the Business area Marine that was finalized in

to NOK 56 million (NOK 43 million) and included an impairment

million Total equity as per 31 December 2022 was NOK 281.9
million (NOK 316.5million), corresponding to equity ratio of

Cash Flow
Arribatec’s cash flow from operating activities in 2022 was
negative with NOK 26.8 million, which compares to a negative
NOK 26.2 million in 2021. The main effects come from the
net change in accounts receivables and payables that had a
positive impact of NOK 11.1 million while the positive effect
from amortization, depreciation and impairment stood for 56.2
million, together these represent the main difference between
Arribatec’s operating result and cash flow from operating
activities. Net cash flow from investing activities was negative
with NOK 6.2 million (NOK 117.1 million). Of this, cash inflow
from a sale of intangible assets was NOK 9.3 million, and
capitalized purchased software and internal development
costs relating to the development of own software solutions
were negative by 13.8 million. Net cash flow from financing
was positive by NOK 27.5 million (negative 1.6 million). This

NOK 51.8 million and instalments paid on the leased assets
of NOK 15.9 million in addition to 5.5 million debt repayments.
Arribatec had NOK 40.5 million in cash and cash equivalents at
the end of the year compared to NOK 43.8 million last year.
Risk profile
Arribatec’s regular business activities entail exposure to
various types of risk. The group manages such risks proac-
tively, and the board of directors regularly analyses its
operations and potential risk factors and takes steps to reduce
risk exposure.
Arribatec’s results of operations could be negatively affected
if the Group cannot adapt, expand or develop its services
in response to changes in technology or customer demand.
The market for the services offered by the Group is char-
acterized by rapid technological changes, frequent new
product introductions, technology enhancements, increasingly
sophisticated customer requirements, and evolving industry
standards. The Group’s future success depends on its ability
to continue to provide high-quality consulting services and to
develop, market, and implement services and solutions that
are attractive, timely, and cost-efficient for its existing and
new customers. If the Group fails to keep up with technological
changes or to convince customers of the value of its services,
intellectual assets, and solutions considering new technologies
or new offerings by competitors, the Group’s business, results

of operations, financial condition, cash flow and/or prospects
could be materially and adversely affected.
Arribatec’s activities involve various types of financial risks
like credit risk, liquidity risk, currency risk and interest risks.
The primary focus of the Group’s capital structure is to ensure
sufficient free cash to meet its obligations on an ongoing basis
and at the same time enable the Group to make strategic
actions to grow. Credit relates to the risk that counterparty
is unable to settle their obligations under a financial contract
or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. As part of
the Group’s earning model, certain of its customers pay for
software and services under a Solution as a Service (SolaaS)
arrangement, meaning that the customer is paying a monthly
recurring amount for, inter alia, the software and services
already provided or to be provided by the Group. As such,
these customers’ monthly recurring payment obligations also
include payment for licenses and software already integrated
and implemented, in addition to services related to continuous
maintenance and consulting. This in contrast to e.g., Software
as a service (SaaS) arrangement, where the customer, in
general, pays a lump sum for the initial software integration
and implementation, and subsequently only pays for services
related to maintenance and consulting services.
Although the Group has opted for this model to ensure some
predictable long-term income, the Group is dependent on its
customers having the ability and/or willingness to pay for the
software and services already provided or to be provided.
Should a certain amount of the customers under the SolaaS
arrangement for some reason be prevented from paying
the whole or the remaining portion of these fixed monthly
payments (e.g., as a result of bankruptcy) during the duration
of the contract, the Group’s earnings, results of operations and
prospects may suffer as a result as it has ultimately taken the
cost related to software and services already provided. The
risk on existing contracts is considered low as the customers
on SolaaS contracts are mainly governmental.
Arribatec conducts its business in currencies other than its
functional reporting currency, making its results of operations,
financial position, and future prospect vulnerable for currency
fluctuations. Because part of the business is conducted in
currencies other than its functional reporting currency (NOK),
the Group will be exposed to volatility associated with foreign
currency exchange rates. Exchange rate fluctuations may
affect the Group’s financial results through translation of the
profit and loss accounts and balance sheets of foreign subsid-
iaries into NOK. Currency risks may also arise when Group
companies enter into transactions that are denominated in
other currencies other than their functional currency.
A large part of the Group’s balance sheet assets consists of
excess values and goodwill. The valuation of those includes

forward-looking information, hereunder estimates, targets,
forecasts, plans and similar projected information. Such
forward-looking information is based on various assumptions
made by the Company and/or third parties. Assumptions are
subject to inherent risks as they are assumptions regarding
the Company in the future and may prove to be inaccurate
or unachievable. Such assumptions cannot be verified.
Additionally, forward-looking information is based on current
information, estimates, and plans that may be changed within
a short period without notice.
Arribatec holds Elite Directors & Officers Liability insurance
covering the Directors of the Boards in the listed company and
its subsidiaries and the CEO. The insurances cover the liability
from claims which may arise from the decisions and actions
taken within the scope of their regular duties. The coverage
includes financial protection against the consequences of
wrongful acts, their personal liability, financial loss in respect
of any securities claim made against the company, and certain
costs and fines related herein. The policies also cover reim-
bursement of the company where coverage has been made on
their behalf. Coverage does not include fraudulent, criminal,
or intentional non-compliant acts or cases where directors
obtained illegal remuneration or acted for personal profit. The
limitation of the liability is NOK 100 million.
Research and development
The company continuously develops its own software and
solutions which can be deployed across customer segments
in all industries. The development is essential to ensure that
Arribatec can continue to grow its software portfolio, expand
its service offering with cloud infrastructure services and gain
a larger customer base. This is done to drive sales growth via
cross-selling and upselling, where the intention is to improve
EBITDA margins by increasing the share of our own IP in future
solutions, thus improving EBITDA margin by selling more of
our own software and services through SaaS subscription
models. At the end of 2022, Arribatec had capitalized a total of
NOK 11.7 million (NOK 19.7 million) of time and material used to
develop internal systems and software. The company has no
ongoing research activities.
Corporate governance
Arribatec’s corporate governance structure is based on
Norwegian corporate law and Norwegian securities legisla-
tion and stock exchange regulations. The company believes
that good corporate governance builds confidence among
shareholders, customers, and other stakeholders, and thereby
supports maximal value creation over time. Being a listed
company on the Euronext Oslo Exchange and considering
that Arribatec wishes to place emphasis on sound corporate
governance, the Company has a policy document on the basis
of the Norwegian Code of Practice for Corporate Governance
dated 14 October 2021. Read more about our work in the
chapter Corporate Governance on page 99 of this annual
report.
Corporate social responsibilities
Developing sound health, safety and environment (HSE) prin-
ciples is important for the Group. Sick leave was 2.05% (2021:
3.2% in Norway and 0.9% in other countries) for the Group
for the year. No serious work incidents or accidents resulting
in personal injuries or damages to materials or equipment
occurred in 2022.
The Board and management continue to focus on equal oppor-
tunities for men and women. We embrace diversity in terms of
age, gender, nationality and experience within our workforce,
as we believe diverse teams have the best means to uncover
opportunities and ensure customer success. We continuously
work towards closing the gender gap in a rather male-dom-
inated industry, and we can see a clear improvement in our
own workforce since 2021, where Arribatec successfully has
increased the percentage of female employees by 5.4% (from
30% to 35.4%). At year-end, two of the five Board members
were female.
The company has during 2022 been a signatory to the UN
Global Compact, supporting the UN Sustainable Development
Goals. Arribatec’s values and corporate policies support these
goals. The sustainability report describes Arribatec’s work on
ESG, see page 18.

gence as required by the OECD Guidelines for Multinational

Going concern
The Board confirms that the annual financial statements
have been prepared under the assumption that the Group is
a going concern, in accordance with §3-3a of the Norwegian
Accounting Act and that such an assumption is appro-
priate, based on the fact that the Group has undergone and
completed a major structuring and building process to become
one Group, the Group’s business strategy and established
budgets.
Proposed allocation of the company’s results of the year
The Parent company, Arribatec Group ASA, had a net negative
result after tax of NOK 41.7 million in 2022, compared to a
negative NOK 16.2 million in 2021. The result available for

Outlook

increasing demand for the product and services that Arribatec
brings to the marketplace. With the largest part of the integra-
tion work behind us, the Group is now gearing up for increased
sales and expanded delivery capacity.

Notes to the financial statements
Note 1 Corporate information
The Parent Company Arribatec Group ASA (publ) (“Arribatec”), with
Norwegian corporate identity number 979 867 654 is a public limited
liability company, incorporated in Norway. The registered address is
Lørenfaret 1B, NO-0585 Oslo. The company’s shares are traded in
Norway on the Oslo Stock Exchange, Oslo Børs.
The principal activities of the company and its subsidiaries (the Group)
are to be a software and consulting company. With a customer centric
engagement model, combined with a deep system-, integration- and
domain competence, Arribatec builds long-term strategic partnership
with a broad customer base. Arribatec serves more than 1 000 entities
spread over 20 countries and various industries, both in the private
and public sector. The activities are further described in Note 5.
The Annual Report and Parent Company Report for Arribatec Group
ASA (publ) were adopted by the Board of Directors on 26 April 2023
and will be submitted for approval to the Annual General Meeting
24.05.2023.
Note 2 Summary of significant Accounting Policies
2.1 Basis for preparation
The financial accounts for Arribatec Group ASA as “the Parent
company” together with its controlled subsidiaries, together called
“the Group” have been prepared in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU (IFRS), relevant
interpretations, and the Norwegian Accounting Act. The consolidated
financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis,
except where IFRS explicitly requires use of other values. As the
Parent company has NOK as its functional currency, the financial
accounts are presented in NOK.
2.2 Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial state-
ments of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries as of 31 December
2022.
Control is established when the Parent Company is exposed to, or has
rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has
the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.
Business combinations are accounted for by using the acquisition
method. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains
control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control
of the subsidiary. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the
financial statements of subsidiaries to bring the accounting policies
used into line with the Group’s accounting policies.
There is a presumption that if the Group has the majority of the voting
rights in an entity, the entity is considered as a subsidiary. To support
this presumption and when the Group has less than a majority of the
voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant
facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over the
entity. Including ownership interests, voting rights, ownership struc-
ture and relative power, as well as options controlled by the Group
and shareholder’s agreement or other contractual agreements.
The assessments are done for each individual investment. The Group
re-assesses whether it controls an entity if facts and circumstances
indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements
of control.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains on trans-
actions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealized losses
are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an
impairment of the transferred asset.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income
(OCI) are attributed to the equity holders of the Parent Company.
2.3 Loss of control
If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognizes the
related assets (including goodwill), liabilities, non-controlling interest
and other components of equity, while any resultant gain or loss is
recognized in profit or loss. Any investment retained is recognized at

fair value. A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without
a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction.
2.4 Functional currencies and presentation currency
The financial statements are presented in NOK, which is the
functional currency of the Parent company, as well as being the
presentation currency for the Group. For the purpose of presenting
this consolidated financial statement, the assets and liabilities of the
Group’s non-NOK operations are translated into NOK using exchange
rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Income and
expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the
year. All group transactions and group unsettled matters, and profit
and losses for transactions between group companies that are put
into effect, are eliminated at the consolidation.
2.5 Business combinations and goodwill
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition
accounting method. Acquisition costs incurred are expensed and
included in operating expenses. When the Group acquires a business,
it assesses the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed
for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the
contractual terms, economic circumstances and relevant conditions
as at the acquisition date. The acquirer’s identifiable assets, liabilities
and contingent liabilities that meet the conditions for recognition
are recognized at their fair values at the acquisition date, except for
non-current assets that are classified as held for sale and recognized
at fair value less cost to sell, and deferred tax assets and liabilities
which are recognized at nominal value.
Goodwill arising on acquisition is recognized as an asset measured
at the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the fair
value of any previously held equity interests and the amount of any
non-controlling interests in the acquire over the net amounts of the
identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If, after reas-
sessment, the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the acquirer’s
identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities exceeds the
total consideration of the business combination, the excess is recog-
nized in the income statement immediately.
Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be
recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes
to the fair value of the contingent consideration which is deemed to
be an asset or liability will be recognized in the income statement as
financial income or expense.
If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it will not be
premeasured, and subsequent settlement will be accounted for within
equity. If the business combination is achieved in stages, the fair value
of the Group’s previously held equity interest in the acquire is remeas-
ured to fair value at the acquisition date through the income statement.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business
combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the
group’s cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the
combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the
acquired entity are assigned to those units.
The Group assesses each cash generating unit annually to determine
whether any indication of impairment exists. Where an indicator of
impairment exists, a formal estimate of the recoverable amount is
made, which is considered to be the higher of fair value less costs to
sell and value in use. If there is an indication that an asset is impaired,
the recoverable amount of the asset is calculated in accordance with
IAS 36 Impairment of assets. For goodwill, other intangible assets
with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet ready for use,
the recoverable amount is assessed annually.
2.6 Revenue from contracts with customers
Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Group
expects to be entitled in a contract with a customer. The Group
recognizes revenue when it transfers control of a good or service to a
customer. Intercompany sales are eliminated.
Consulting services
Arribatec provides implementation and integration services under
consulting contracts with customers. Most contracts have a pricing
structure where Arribatec agrees to implement and integrate software
for a fixed hourly rate agreed upon in the contract, but where the
number of hours to be delivered is not specified in the contract.
Arribatec’s performance obligation is satisfied over time because the
consulting services does not create an asset that Arribatec could
use for an alternative purpose and Arribatec has an enforceable right
to payment for the hours worked. Revenue is recognized over time,
normally according to the invoiced hours for the period. A contract
asset is recognized when invoicing is deferred compared to revenue
recognition. A contract liability is recognized when invoicing is done in
advance compared to revenue recognition.
From time-to-time Arribatec has fixed price consulting contract. In
the same manner as for the contract with variable hours, the asset
created does not have an alternative use for Arribatec and Arribatec
has an enforceable right to payment in line with progress in the
project. Arribatec recognizes revenue over time, in line with progress
in the project. Progress is estimated as hours spent at the balance
sheet date divided with estimated total hours in the project. This
requires estimating the remaining hours to complete.
Recurring revenue
Sale of licenses
A license establishes the customer’s rights related to a company’s
intellectual property (IP) and the obligations of the company to
provide those rights. IFRS 15 distinguishes between whether the
license provides a “right to use” or a “right to access” IP. This impacts
the timing of revenue recognition.
In most cases sale of licenses is part of SaaS and Solaas contracts.
Arribatec in some instances has contracts that includes sale of
licenses only. Arribatec has analysed its (partner) licensing contracts
and concluded that they control the license before it is transferred to

the customer since Arribatec has legal ownership, physical posses-
sion and the risk and reward of ownership. Arribatec is therefore the
principal in the customer contract.
When Arribatec licenses distinct on-premise licenses, these fall under
the category “right-to use” since the license grants the right to the IP
“as is” when delivered. The distinct on-premise licenses pricing model
is a one-time fixed fee. Revenue is recognized at the point in time
when the customer is provided with the ability to use the software.
The fee is recognized as a revenue at the point of time when the
customer has received legal title and physical possession and the
customer has accepted the license. Generally, this is at the beginning
of the license period.
When Arribatec license cloud-based subscription licenses (“right to
access”), the license is not considered distinct from the online/hosting
service. Revenue is recognized over time, over the license/contract
period, as the customer is receiving and consuming the benefits of
access to the cloud-based license on an ongoing basis. The cloud-
based subscription licenses are sold for a fixed annual or monthly fee.
Revenue is recognized linearly over the subscription time.
Software as a service (SaaS)
Software is provided over time to an end customer from a Data
Center managed or contracted by Arribatec. The obligations in the
SaaS contract are to offer cloud-based access to the license (owned
by Arribatec), maintenance of the utility of the software, including
rights to updates and future releases, and in some contracts, provide
support.
The customer will purchase and obtain control of the software
as-a-service on a subscription or consumption basis. Revenue is
therefore recognized periodically over the life of the SaaS contract.
In some cases, Arribatec has a separate installation and implementation
contract regarding the same customer projects. When these contracts
are negotiated close in time from each other, Arribatec considers
whether the two contracts have been negotiated as a package with a
single commercial objective, or not. If this is the case the two contracts
are combined. If not, they are accounted for separately.
The implementation and installation services are capable of being
distinct and distinct within the context of these contracts. This is
concluded based on an analysis of the different deliveries and the
performance obligations in the contract. Arribatec has therefore
concluded that there are generally two distinct performance obliga-
tions in the two combined contracts. When there are two combined
contracts, the transaction price is allocated between the two perfor-
mance obligations based on relative stand-alone prices that are
estimated based on the pricing of each element in the contract like
hours, contract length, and options to extend the contract.
Arribatec’s performance obligation under the installation and integra-
tion contract is satisfied over time because the consulting services
does not create an asset that Arribatec could use for an alternative
purpose and Arribatec has an enforceable right to payment for the
hours worked. Revenue is accordingly recognized over time as the
installation and integration is performed based on the hours worked.
Solution as a service (SolaaS)
As for SaaS, the main obligations in the SolaaS contract are to offer
a cloud- based, “right to access” type of license, maintenance of the
utility of the software, including updates and future releases, and
provide support. In the SolaaS contracts an additional part of the
value chain, the implementation and integration services, is added to
the contract. In Solaas contracts the customer pays a fixed annual or
monthly fee that also includes payment for the implementation and
integration services”
As for the SaaS, contracts with a separate (combined) implementation
and integration service contract, generally in the SolaaS contracts,
there are two distinct POs. However, this is assessed on a contract to
contract basis, where all facts and circumstances are considered.
When Solaas contracts is considered two (or more) performance
obligations revenue is allocated between the performance obligations
based on relative stand-alone selling prices and recognized as follows:
– Consulting service. Revenue is recognized over time when the
consulting service is delivered.
– SaaS (license, online service and maintenance and support):
The customer receives and consumes the benefits from the
SaaS delivery as Arribatec performs under the contract.
Therefore, the performance obligation is satisfied over time and
revenue is recognized over the period the service is available for
use by the customer.
Managed services
Under the managed services contracts Arribatec helps customers
operate their IT environments, either on premise or from the cloud.
Managed services contracts are delivered on a fixed price and a
minimum commitment to the customers, on a long-term contract.
Additional work above the agreed level is considered normal
consulting services.
Arribatec delivers an integrated set of services as defined in the
managed service agreement. The customer receives and consumes
the benefits from the Managed services as Arribatec performs under
the contract. Therefore, the performance obligation is satisfied over
time and revenue is recognized over time.
One-time revenue from third party hardware
In some contracts Arribatec delivers both physical hardware and
installation of software on the hardware, e.g. for self-service/

check-in kiosks. In such cases the hardware product is considered as
a separate contract obligation that is recognized as revenue when it
is installed.
Other revenue
Revenue from other services
Arribatec to a limited extent provides maintenance services, support
services and application management services under separate
contracts, for a fixed fee. The performance obligations under these
contracts are satisfied over time and revenue is recognized accord-
ingly.
Government grants
Government grants are recognized when there is reasonable assur-
ance that the grant will be received, and all associated conditions will
be complied with. When the grant relates to an asset, it reduces the
carrying amount of the asset. The grant is then recognized in profit or
loss over the useful life of the depreciable asset by way of a reduced
depreciation charge.
2.7 Employee benefits
Pension obligations
The Group’s pension obligations vary between countries depending
on the local legislation and different pension systems, please see
Note 28 for further description. The group only has defined contribu-
tion retirement plans.
Defined contribution retirement plans are retirement plans where the
company’s payment obligations are limited to the fixed contributions
and where the fees already have been undertaken. The retirement
benefits for the individual employee are dependent on the contributions
paid to the retirement plan or an insurance company by the employer,
and the return of capital invested in the retirement fund. Consequently,
it is the employee that holds the risk of return (that the return will be
lower than expected) and the risk of the investment (the risk that the
invested pension provision will not be sufficient to cover expected
retirement compensation in the future). The obligations of the Company
related to payments of defined contribution retirement plans are
expensed in the income statement as they are earned by the employee
for services conducted on behalf of the employer during the period.
2.8 Research and Development cost
Development expenditures are capitalized only when the criterion for
recognition is met, i.e., it is probable that the expected future economic
benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the entity,
management has committed itself to complete the asset, the technical
feasibility of completing the asset has been demonstrated and the cost
can be measured reliably. Research costs are expensed in full.
The assets are amortized over their expected useful life once the
assets are available for use. During the period of development, the
asset is tested for impairment annually. Development costs that do
not meet the criteria for capitalization are expensed as incurred.
2.9 Taxes
Income taxes consists of current tax and deferred tax. Current
income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are
measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to
the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute
the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by
the balance sheet date.
Deferred income tax is provided using the liability method on temporary
differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets
and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary
differences except where the deferred income tax liability arises from
the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction
that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction,
affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.
A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that is probable that
future taxable profit will be available against for which unused tax
losses and unused tax credits can be utilized. A deferred tax asset
arising from unused tax losses or tax credit is only recognized to the
extent that the entity has sufficient taxable temporary differences or
that there is convincing other evidence supporting the utilization of
the tax losses and tax credits, including the impact of time restriction
by local tax authorities. The carrying amount of deferred tax asset is
reviewed at the end of each reporting period. Unrecognized deferred
tax assets are reassessed at each balance sheet date. Deferred
income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are offset, when
a legally enforceable right exists to set off tax assets against income
tax liabilities and the deferred income taxes relate to the same
taxable entity or taxation authority.
2.10 Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost in the balance
sheet, with a deduction for accumulated depreciation and any impair-
ment. Depreciation is made on a straight-line basis over the asset’s
estimated useful life, which is assessed on an individual basis, ranging
from five to ten years.
2.11 Intangible assets
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of cost of an acquisition over the
fair value of the net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiary at
the date of acquisition. Goodwill on the acquisition of subsidiaries is
included within intangible assets. Goodwill that arises on the acqui-
sition of subsidiaries is allocated to cash generating units (CGUs).
Goodwill is measured at cost (residual) less accumulated impairment
losses. Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually, or when
there are indications of impairment. Impairment is determined for
goodwill by assessing the recoverable amount of each CGU to which
the goodwill relates. When the recoverable amount of the CGU is less
than it’s carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. Impairment

losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods. When
the group disposes of an operation within a CGU or group of CGUs to
which goodwill has been allocated, a portion of the goodwill is included
in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain of
loss on disposal. The portion of the goodwill allocated is measured
based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the
portion of the CGU retained at the date of the partial disposal, unless it
can be demonstrated that another method better reflects the goodwill
associated with the operation disposed of. The same principle is used
for allocation of goodwill when the group reorganises its businesses.
Customer relationships and technical assets
The assets acquired in a business combination are recognized at fair
value on the acquisition date. Customer relationships and databases
have a finite useful life and are carried at cost less accumulated
amortization. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method
to allocate the cost over their useful lives of three to five years.
2.12 Financial instruments
All financial assets and liabilities are initially recognized at fair value,
and subsequently classified either as financial assets at amortized
cost or financial assets through profit or loss.
Accounts and other receivable
Accounts receivable and other receivables are initially recognized at
the transaction price and are subsequently carried at amortized cost
less provision for expected credit losses.
Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are initially recognized at fair value, and
subsequently measured at amortized cost. Trade and other payables
are measures at their nominal amount when the effect of discounting
is not material.
Cash and Cash equivalent
Cash and cash equivalents include cash at banks and on hand and
other short term highly liquid investments with original maturities of
three months or less. In the consolidated balance sheet, any bank
overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
Interest bearing loans and other financial liabilities
The Group’s debt and other financial liabilities are initially recognized
at fair value, including transaction costs directly attributable to the
transaction, and are subsequently measured at amortized cost.
2.13 Classifications
Fixed assets and long-term liabilities consist of items expected to be
settled more than twelve months after the balance sheet date. Current
assets and current liabilities consist of amounts that are expected to
be settled within twelve months after the balance sheet date.
2.14 Right of use assets and Lease liabilities
At the inception of a contract, the group assesses whether the
contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if
the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset
for a period of time, in exchange for consideration.
For contracts that constitute, or contain a lease, the Group separates
lease components if it benefits from the use of each underlying asset
either on its own or together with other resources that are readily
available, and the underlying asset is neither highly dependent on, nor
highly interrelated with, the other underlying assets in the contract. The
Group then accounts for each lease component within the contract as
a lease separately from non-lease components of the contract.
At the lease commencement date, the Group recognizes a lease
liability and corresponding right-of-use asset for all lease agreements
in which it is the lessee, except for the following exemptions applied:
• Short-term leases (defined as twelve months or less)
• Low value assets
For these leases, the Group recognizes the lease payments as other
operating expenses in the statement of profit or loss when they incur.
The lease liability is recognized at the commencement date of the
lease. The Group measures the lease liability at the present value of
the lease payments for the right to use the underlying asset during
the lease term that are not paid at the commencement date.
The lease term represents the non-cancellable period of the lease,
together with periods covered by an option either to extend or to
terminate the lease when the Group is reasonably certain to exercise
this option.
The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the
carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability, reducing the
carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made and remeas-
uring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease
modifications, or to reflect adjustments in lease payments due to an
adjustment in an index or rate. The Group does not include variable
lease payments in the lease liability. Instead, the Group recognizes
these variable lease expenses in profit or loss.
The Group presents its lease liabilities as separate line items in the
statement of financial position.
The Group measures the right-of use asset at cost, less any accu-
mulated depreciation and impairment losses, adjusted for any
remeasurement of lease liabilities.
The Group applies the depreciation requirements IAS 16 ‘Property,
Plant and Equipment’ in depreciating the right-of-use asset, except
that the right-of-use asset is depreciated from the commencement

date to the earlier of the lease term and the remaining useful life of
the right-of-use asset.
The Group applies IAS 36 ‘Impairment of Assets’ to determine whether
the right-of-use asset is impaired and to account for any impairment
loss identified.
2.15 Provisions
Provisions and contingent liabilities
Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present legal or
constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is more likely than
not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obliga-
tion and the amount can be reliably estimated.
Restructuring provisions are recognized only when the recognition
criteria for provisions are fulfilled. The Group has a constructive obli-
gation when a detailed formal plan identifies the activities concerned,
the location and number of employees affected, a detailed estimate
of the associated costs, and an appropriate timeline. Furthermore, the
employees affected have been notified of the plan’s main features.
2.16 Changes in Accounting Policies and disclosures
for 2022 calendar year or thereafter
The Group does not expect any standards issued by the IASB, but not
yet effective, to have material impact on the Group.
Note 3 Critical accounting estimates and judgements in terms of accounting policies
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in
conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying
disclosures, and the disclosures of contingent liabilities. It also
requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of
applying the group’s accounting policies. Uncertainty about these
assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require
a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities
affected in future periods. Estimates and judgements are continually
evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors,
including expectations of future events that are believed to be
reasonable under the circumstances.
Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
The group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future.
The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal
the related actual results. The Group based its assumptions and
estimates on parameters available when the financial statements
were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future
developments, however, may change due to market changes or
circumstances arising beyond the control of the Group. Such changes
are reflected in the assumptions when they occur. The estimates and
assumptions that have significant risk of causing a material adjust-
ment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next
financial year are addressed below.
Goodwill
In accordance with the stated accounting policy, the group annu-
ally tests whether goodwill has suffered any impairment or more
frequently if impairment indicators are identified. The recoverable
number of cash-generating units has been determined based on
value-in-use calculations. These calculations require the use of esti-
mates. The value-in-use calculation is based on a discounted cash
flow model. The cash flows are derived from the budgets and fore-
casts for the next five years, as approved by the Company’s Board of
Directors, and do not include significant investments that will enhance
the performance of the CGU being tested. The recoverable amount
is most sensitive to the discount rate used for the discounted cash
flow model, as well as the expected future cash-inflows (sensitive
to estimates of sales and cost levels) and the growth rate used for
extrapolation purposes. Further details regarding goodwill and impair-
ment reviews are included in Note 16.

Note 4 Financial risks
Arribatec defines risk as all factors which could have a negative
impact on the ability of the Group to achieve its business objectives.
All economic activities are associated with risk. In order to manage
risk in a balanced way, it must first be identified and assessed.
Arribatec conducts risk management at both a Group and company
level, where risks are evaluated in a systematic manner. The following
summary is by no means comprehensive but offers an overview of
all material financial risk factors which are considered important for
Arribatec’s future development.
Risks associated with changes in economic conditions are managed
through regular checks on developments in each country.
Currency risk
Currency risk refers to the risk that the value of liquid and financial
instruments may shift as a result of changes in exchange rates.
Transactions in foreign currency (other than the unit’s functional
currency, which is NOK) are converted at the exchange rate on the
transaction date. Monetary items in foreign currency are converted
to NOK using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date.
Non-monetary items measured at the historical rate expressed in a
foreign currency are converted into NOK using the exchange rate on
the transaction date.
The currency risk is limited in Arribatec as few balance items are
posted in foreign currency per 31.12.2022.
Credit risk
Credit risks are the risks that counterparty will not meet its obligations
under a financial contract or customer contract, leading to a financial
loss. The Group is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities,
primarily related to cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and
contract assets from contracts with the customers and other receiv-
ables.
As part of the Group’s earnings model, certain of its customers pays
for software and services under a solutions as-a-software (SolaaS)
arrangement, meaning that the customer is paying a monthly recurring
sum for, inter alia, the software and services already provided or to be
provided by the Group. As such, these customers’ monthly recurring
payment obligations also include payment for licenses and software
already integrated and implemented, in addition to services related
to continuous maintenance and consulting. This in contrast to e.g.
software-as-a-service (SaaS) arrangements, where the customer
in general pays a lump sum for the initial software integration and
implementation, and subsequently only pays for services related to
maintenance and consulting services. Although the Group has opted
for this model to ensure some predictable long-term income, the
Group is dependent on its customers having the ability and/or willing-
ness to pay for the software and services already provided or to be
provided.
Customer credit risk is managed subject to established policies,
procedures and controls relating to customer credit risk management.
The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the
carrying value of each class of financial assets.
The Company manage the credit risk by working closely with the
customers. Additional cooperation and agreements are made with
Partners like collection companies and credit check suppliers.
Interest rate risks
Interest risk is related to the risk the Group is exposed to from
changes in the market’s interest rate which can affect the net profit.
The Group’s main interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings
with variable rates, which amounted to NOK 31.2m on 31 December
2022 (2021: NOK 37.4m). The loan carries a variable interest rate
based on the interbank rate in each currency with a margin. Any
annualized increase or decrease by 100 basis point would increase/
decrease the Groups profit before tax by appr. NOK 0.3m (NOK 0.4m).
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the potential loss arising from the Group’s inability to
meet its contractual obligations when due. The Group monitors its risk
of a shortage of funds using cash flow forecasts. The Group had cash
and cash equivalents of NOK 40.4m at 31 December 2022 (2021:
NOK 43.8m).
The following table detail the Group’s remaining contractual maturity
for its non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed repayment
periods. The tables have been drawn based on the undiscounted
cash flows of financial liabilities based on the most likely date on
which the Group can be required to pay. The table include both
interest and principal cash flows. To the extent that interest flows are
floating rate, the undiscounted amount is derived from the interest
rate curves at the end of the reporting period. The contractual
maturity is based on the most likely date on which the Group may be
required to pay, ref Note 10.
The amounts presented are subject to change If changes in variable
interest rates differ to those estimates of interest rates determined at
the end of the reporting period.

The Group closely monitor and follow the cash situation. During
2022, Arribatec carried out a private placement and a subsequent
repair offer that brought in 51.8 million. The Group’s cash situation,
including proceeds from this capital increase, were minus 3.3 million.
Furthermore, 2022 was a year bringing the different acquired units
into one Group on common policies, structure and systems, with the
intention to realize the synergizes and secure being cash positive.
Financing risk
To support the Group’s growth ambitions, the Group continuously
work on securing necessary committed financing and alternative
funding sources. Securing non-current financing at competitive terms
is a major part of the Group’s long-term liquidity planning.
Capital management
The primary objective of the Group’s capital management is to ensure
the Group maintains a solid capital structure enabling it to develop
and build its business to maximize shareholder value. The Group’s
objective is to maintain a balance of financial assets that reflects the
cash requirement of its operations and investments for the next twelve
months. No change was made in the objectives, policies, or process for
managing capital during the year ended 31 December 2022.

weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be Issued
on conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into
ordinary shares.

These are all settled at end of 2022.
In 2022, only parts of the original share consideration is included as dilution. Parts of the share consideration for Integra is still outstanding.
This is to be settled during 2023.

Note 16 Goodwill and impairment
Goodwill and intangible assets stated in the consolidated financial
position are mainly derived from excess value following the acqui-
sitions of Instidata AS in 2019, Facil AS, Microsky AS and Innit AS
in 2020 and Maksit AS, Qualisoft AS, IB Group and Integra Ass.
Ltd in 2021. Recognized goodwill amounts to NOK 204.6m as of
31 December 2022 (NOK 205.3m). Other intangible assets related to
excess values in the Group accounts are customer relations and soft-
ware, with a carrying amount of NOK 45.3 million as per 31 December
2022 (NOK 62.3m).
Only goodwill has an indefinite lifetime, all other intangible assets are
amortized, ref Note 12.
Goodwill is tested for impairment for each cash generating unit (CGU)
prior to preparation of the annual accounts. The test is performed
annually, and when there are indications of impairment. There
were no impairment indications in the impairment test 2022 where
recoverable amounts exceeded the balance sheet amounts, thus no
impairment has been done in 2022.
The recoverable amount for each CGU has been determined esti-
mating their Value in Use (VIU) and comparing that to the carrying
amount of the specific CGU. The calculation of VIU has been based
on mstimate, reflecting the Grou’’s financial planning process. The
discount rates are derived as the weighted average cost of capital
(WACC) for a similar business in the same business environment.
Goodwill has been allocated for impairment testing purposes to the CGUs below.

Cash flow projections and assumptions
A five-year forecast of discounted cash flows plus a 2.0% terminal
value growth rate was used to determine net present value of the
CGU. Discounted cash flows were calculated after tax and applying a
WACC after tax. Estimated cash flow covering the period 2023-2027
consists of estimates for 2023 and beyond.
Key assumptions for the value in use calculations
The basis for the projection of the future cash flows estimated is
based on the financial budget of one year, approved by the Board of
Directors. The budget in combination with the forecasts represent
management’s best estimate of the range of economic conditions that
will exist over the remaining useful life of the asset. The remaining
four years of the forecast period are estimated based on budget and
projected performance. The calculation of VIU for the CGU is most of
all sensitive when it comes to the following assumptions:

The average growth rate and EBITDA margin assumptions are based on historical experience and performance as well as market analysis used for
budget 2023 and estimates from 2024-2026 and a terminal growth rate of 2%. The average growth rates in the period for each CGU is:

Average revenue growth 16% 9% 0% 196% 16%
Average EBITDA margin 7% 15% 18% 41% 19%

The restructuring and sales of IP in the Marine CGU from 2022 to 2023 effect the average growth rates
2
CGU Hospitality will until Q2 2023 go from a start up to become a mature profit making unit, thus impact on the growth rates seems unnatural
Sensitivity
At December 31, 2022, the Group’s value in use for each CGU was
significantly higher than the carrying amount of tested goodwill and
intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. The calculation is most
sensitive to changes in EBITDA and gross profit (GP) margins. No
reasonably likely change in the key assumptions listed above would
cause the carrying value to materially exceed the recoverable amount
for any of the CGUs. The headroom varies between 22% and 500% in
the different CGUs.

Note 21 Financial instruments
Set out below is a comparison by class of carrying amounts and fair
values of all financial instruments that are carried in the financial
statements.
The financial assets principally consist of cash and cash equivalents
obtained through the operating business. The financial liabilities
principally consist of trade and other payables arising directly from
its operations. The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities are
included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged
in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced
or liquidation sale.
The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing
the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:
Level 1: The fair value of financial instruments traded in active
markets is based on quoted market prices
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded
in an active market is determined using valuation techniques which
maximize the use of observable market price and rely as little as
possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant Inputs require to
fair value an Instrument are observable.
Level 3: techniques that use inputs that have a significant effect on
the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.

Note 23 Contract assets and liabilities
Contract assets
Contract assets are recognized for performance obligations satisfied over time, mainly from installation
services and projects where progress is measured over time. When the consideration becomes uncondi-
tional the contract assets are reclassified to accounts receivables, which attributes the main changes to the
contract assets in the periods.
Contract assets will typical insure in Solassa/Saas project were the customer pays a fixed annual or monthly
fee over 3-5 years and this also includes payment for the implementation and integration services. In such
cases revenue are recognized at the time were performance obligations are meet and registered as a
contract assets. A reclassification is done when the customer is invoiced, ref Note 2.6.

governmental parties and therefore secured. Contracts are subject to valuation of credit losses in same way
as Accounts receivable.

Arribatec Group ASA
Notes to the financial statement
Note 1 Accounting principles
1.1 Basis for preparation of the company accounts
The annual accounts are set up in accordance with the Accounting
Act of 1998, Norwegian accounting principles (NGAAP) and generally
accepted Norwegian accounting best practice (NGRS). The annual
accounts consist of the income statement, balance sheet, cash flow
statement and notes. The annual accounts constitute a whole.
The most important accounting principles that are used in the prepa-
ration of the annual accounts are as follows:
1.2 Currency
Monetary items in foreign currencies are valued at the year-end
exchange rate. Other assets and liabilities in foreign currency are
valued according to general valuation regulations.
1.3 Revenue
Revenues mainly consist of sales of services to other companies in
the group. The company recognizes revenue when it transfers control
of a good or service to a customer. Dividends and group contributions
from subsidiaries are recognized in the same year in which they are
earned in the underlying companies, and when such distributions are
expected to be resolved and are included in the underlying compa-
nies’ annual accounts. Interest income is entered as it is earned.
1.4 Expenses
Expenses are included with and expensed simultaneously with the
income that the expenses are attributable to. Costs that cannot be
directly attributed to income are expensed when incurred. Interest
and fees are entered as these are earned as income or incurred as
costs.
1.5 Defined contribution pension schemes
The obligations of the Company related to payments of defined
contribution retirement plans are expensed in the income statement
as they are earned by the employee for services conducted on behalf
of the employer during the period.
1.6 Classification of assets and liabilities
Fixed assets and non-current liabilities consist of items expected to
be settled more than twelve months after the balance sheet date.
Current assets and current liabilities consist of amounts that are
expected to be settled within twelve months after the balance sheet
date.
Fixed assets are valued at historical cost but written down to actual
value when the reduction in value is not expected to be temporary.
Fixed assets with a limited economic lifetime are depreciated in
accordance with a depreciation plan. Non-current loans are recorded
at the nominal received value at the time of establishment.
Current assets are valued at the lowest of the cost value and actual
value. Non-current liabilities are recorded at the nominal received
value at the time of establishment.
1.7 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are recognized at historical cost in the balance
sheet, with a deduction for accumulated depreciation and any impair-
ment. The write down is reversed when the basis for the write down
no longer exists. Depreciation is made on a straight-line basis over
the asset’s estimated useful life, which is assessed on an individual
basis, ranging from three to five years.
1.8 Other intangible assets
Intangible fixed assets are recognized at cost in the balance sheet,
with a deduction for accumulated depreciation and any impairment.
Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate
the cost over their useful lives of three to five years.
1.9 Shares in subsidiaries
In Arribatec Group ASA’s company accounts, shares in subsidiaries
are valued in accordance with the cost method. Group contributions
are entered in the parent company’s accounts as income in invest-
ment in subsidiaries under financial items, in the extent to which the
distribution relates to the earnings accrued in the holding period.

Other received group contributions are entered as a reduction of cost
price of the shares. Provided group contributions net after tax are
entered as increased investment in subsidiaries.
1.10 Receivables
Receivables are recorded at nominal value less provisions for
expected losses. Provisions for losses are made based on an indi-
vidual analysis of the individual receivables.
1.11 Taxes
Tax expenses consist of tax payable and the change in deferred tax.
Deferred tax are calculated on all differences between accounting
and tax values of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax is calculated
at 22% based on the temporary differences that exist between the
accounting and tax values, and tax loss carried forward at the end
of the financial year. Net deferred tax assets are recognized to the
extent that it is likely that they could be utilized. Tax expenses and
deferred tax are entered in the accounts directly against equity so far
as the tax items relate to items recognized directly against equity.
1.12 Leasing agreements
Leases where the most significant risks and returns associated with
ownership of the asset are not acquired by the company are classi-
fied as operating lease agreements. Lease payments are classified as
an operating expense and are recognized linearly over the contract
period.
1.13 Use of estimates
Management has used estimates and assumptions that affect the
income statement and the valuation of assets and liabilities, as well
as contingent assets and liabilities on the balance sheet date during
the preparation of the annual accounts in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.
1.14 Contingencies and events after the Balance Sheet date
Contingent losses that are probable and quantifiable are expensed.
See Note 13 for events after the balance sheet date. .
1.15 Cash Flow Statement
The cash flow statement is prepared according to the indirect
method. Cash and cash equivalents include cash, bank deposits and
other short-term liquid investments.

Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). 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 and the Group as
required by relevant laws and regulations in Norway and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ International Code of Ethics for
Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) (IESBA Code), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in
accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
To the best of our knowledge and belief, no prohibited non-audit services referred to in the Audit Regulation (537/2014) Article 5.1 have been provided.
We have been the auditor of Arribatec Group ASA for 2 years from the election by the general meeting of the shareholders on 12 May 2021 for the
accounting year 2021.
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.
Description of the key audit matter How the key audit matter was addressed in the audit
Goodwill and intangible assets
Under IFRS, the Group is required to perform an annual impairment test of
goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite useful life.
Impairment testing of goodwill and intangible assets is a key aspect of our audit
due to the complexity of the assessments and the significance of assumptions
related to future market and/or economic conditions that support the
assessment.
Our audit procedures have included a detailed review of management’s
impairment test for each business unit to which goodwill and intangible
assets are allocated. We have also assessed management’s assumptions
supporting the valuation and taken into consideration management’s
historical accuracy in determining the estimates. Internal specialists
have assisted us in this process. We have also considered the
assumptions described in note 16 and assessed the adequacy of the
information provided in the notes against the requirements of IAS 36.

Description of the key audit matter How the key audit matter was addressed in the audit
Investments in subsidiaries
The company has significant investments in subsidiaries that are measured at
cost. Investments in subsidiaries are tested for impairment if impairment
indicators are present. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount
exceeds the recoverable amount. The significant amounts involved, and the
complexity of the valuation of the assets, lead us to classify the valuation of
investments in subsidiaries as a key audit matter.
Our audit procedures included a detailed review, testing, and
assessment of management's impairment tests, including the
calculation of recoverable amounts. We have also assessed
management's assumptions supporting the valuation and taken into
consideration the historical accuracy in determining the estimates.
Internal specialists have assisted us in this process. We have also
considered the assumptions described in note 16.
Other information
The Board of Directors and the Managing Director (management) are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Board of
Directors’ report and other information in the Annual Report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion
on the financial statements does not cover the other information.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information 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 the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are
required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinion on the Board of Director’s report
Based on our knowledge obtained in the audit, in our opinion the Board of Directors’ report
• is consistent with the financial statements and
• contains the information required by applicable statutory requirements.
Our opinion on the Board of Director’s report applies correspondingly for the statements on Corporate Governance and Corporate Social Responsibility.
Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act and
accounting standards and practices generally accepted in Norway, and for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements of the group in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU, 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. The financial statements of the Company use the going concern basis of accounting insofar as it is not likely
that the enterprise will cease operations. The financial statements of the Group use 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.
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 ISAs 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.

| Statement of Corporate Governance ^
This chapter describes Arribatec Group ASA’s (“Arribatec” or “the
Company”) compliance with the Norwegian code of practice for
corporate governance. The Company’s Board of Directors embraces
the principles of good corporate governance and is vigilant about
the Company’s adherence to these principles. This report includes
the information required to comply with §3-3b in the Norwegian
Accounting Act.
Corporate governance
As a security provider, understanding and adhering to rules and
regulations is of the utmost importance to Arribatec. Good corporate
governance benefits the Company’s reputation and thus value, and
vice versa. The Company adheres to the following set of principles
with regard to corporate governance:
Transparency
The communication between the Company and its stakeholders shall
be based on transparency about matters that are relevant to evaluate
the operations of the Company.
Independence
The Board of Directors shall act independently of the Company’s
executive management to ensure that decisions are made on fair and
neutral grounds.
Equality
All shareholders shall be treated equally.
Control and governance
Good internal control and governance principles shall contribute to
predictability and risk mitigation for owners and other stakeholders.
1. Corporate Governance at Arribatec Group ASA
The Company always seeks to comply with the most recent appli-
cable legal framework for companies listed on the Norwegian stock
exchange. The Company endorses the “Norwegian Code of practice
for Corporate Governance” (“NUES”) in its most recent revision
(October 2021), which is available on www.nues.no. The Company
conducts annual corporate governance reviews to ensure continued
compliance. Considering the size and maturity of the Company,
there may be deviations from the code. Arribatec will adhere to the
principle “declare or explain” regarding any non-compliance with
respect to the code. The Company’s policies, instructions and internal
processes are continuously developed.
2. Operations and corporate social responsibility
The Board of Directors prepares annual business plans that include
the goals, key strategies and risk profile for the Company, which shall
be reviewed on an annual basis. The Company has implemented
ethical and corporate social responsibility guidelines in accordance
with its basic corporate values, which describe how the Company
shall integrate its social considerations in its business. The guide-
lines are published on Arribatec’s website, www.arribatec.com. A
Corporate Social Responsibility Report is found in this annual report.
3. Equity and Dividend
Equity: The Company strives to maintain a healthy relation between
the Company’s equity and other forms of financing, given the
Company’s strategy and risk profile. The Board of Directors takes
immediate and appropriate action should the equity or liquidity situa-
tion of the Company prove to be below an acceptable level.
Dividend policy
Arribatec is growing fast, both organically and through M&A activities.
Both these avenues for growth require liquidity and availability of
sufficient funding as well as a healthy equity ratio. While the company
is in an expansion phase, the Board is not planning for regular divi-
dends to be paid to the shareholders. There has not been given, nor
proposed to give, a mandate to the Board of Directors to approve a
distribution of dividends.
Board authorizations
Authorisations to the Board of Directors to approve share capital
increases shall be confined to defined purposes and should not be
given for longer periods of time than until the next Ordinary General
Meeting. If an authorization encompasses several purposes, each
purpose should be treated as a separate issue at the General Meeting.
This also applies to authorizations permitting the repurchase of
shares. The ordinary General Meeting held on the 30 May 2022 gave
the Board of Directors authorization to increase the Company’s Share
Capital by up to NOK 95 886 400. The authorizations are valid until
the next ordinary general assembly, and no later than 30 August 2023.

4. Equal treatment of shareholders and
transaction with related parties
Class of shares: The Company has one class of shares, without any
form of voting restriction imposed. Each share represents one vote at
the Company’s General Meeting. The par value per share is NOK 2.80.
Pre-emption rights of existing shareholders
The Company’s existing shareholders have pre-emption rights to
subscribe for shares in the event of share capital increase, unless
special circumstances necessitate a deviation from this principle. Any
decision to deviate from the pre-emption rights of existing share-
holders shall be justified and in accordance with the authorization
given to the Board of Directors from the General Meeting. The justifi-
cation shall be publicly disclosed in a stock exchange announcement
issued in connection with the increase in share capital.
Transactions with related parties
The Company’s board members, management and significant share-
holders are considered related parties. Any transactions with related
parties are carried out on an arm’s length basis. If the value of such
a transaction is significant, the Board of Directors is responsible
for assigning an independent third party to perform a valuation.
Alternatively, the transaction in question can be treated as an issue
at the General Meeting, in accordance with the Norwegian Public
Limited Liability Companies Act.
5. Shares and negotiability
The shares in the Company are freely transferable, and there are no
constraints in the Articles of Association preventing or contradicting this.
6. General meetings
The General Meeting is the main governing body of the Company.
The Board shall facilitate so that all shareholders are given the
opportunity to participate in General Meetings, and that the General
Meetings are an effective forum for the views of shareholders and the
Board of Directors.
Notification: No later than 21 days prior to the Annual General
Meeting (“AGM”), an invitation will be made available on the
Company’s website, www.arribatec.com. Supporting information on
resolutions to be considered, as well as the recommendations of
the Nomination Committee will be presented in due time before the
AGM. The Board of Directors seeks to ensure that all shareholders
are provided with sufficient information to form qualified views on the
matters discussed at the General Meeting. The Company’s Articles of
Association provide that the Company does not have to send docu-
ments relating to matters to be considered by the General Meeting
by mail to shareholders when these documents are made available on
the Company’s website. Any such documents shall, however, be sent
free of charge upon request from individual shareholders. Further, the
right to participate and vote at the Company´s General Meeting can
only be exercised for shares when the purchase of shares is listed
in the shareholder register no later than five workdays prior to the
General Meeting. Other than aforementioned, there are no provisions
in the Articles of Association regarding General Meetings in the
Company that deviates from the provisions of the Norwegian Public
Limited Companies Act. The AGM will be held no later than 30 June
each year. The AGM will be held in Oslo, unless otherwise is clearly
specified.
Participation by shareholders in absentia: Shareholders that are
unable to attend the General Meeting in person, are encouraged to
vote by proxy. In connection with any General Meeting, the Company
provides information on proxy voting, designates a person who will
be available to vote on behalf of the shareholders in question and
prepare a form for the appointment of a proxy.
Attendance, agenda and execution: Board members, the Nomination
Committee and the auditor are encouraged to attend the General
Meeting in person. The Company will make arrangements to ensure
that an independent chairman for the General Meeting can be
elected. The company will conduct General Meetings by way of web
meetings if the situation requires it.
7. Nomination Committee
Requirements for the Company’s Nomination Committee are outlined
in the Articles of Association, §6. According to the Company’s Articles
of Association, the Company shall have a Nomination Committee
consisting of 2-5 members by the further decision of the General
Meeting. Pursuant to the guidelines for the Nomination Committee,
the Nomination Committee shall, inter alia, assess the need for
change in the Board of Directors, propose candidates for election to
the Board of Directors, and propose remuneration to be paid to such
members. The Nomination Committee is responsible for assessing the
need for change in the Board of Directors, proposing, in consultation
with relevant shareholders, candidates for election to the Board
of Directors, and proposing the remuneration to be paid to such
members.

8. The Board of Directors – composition and independence
According to the Articles of Association, the Board of Directors should
consist of three to seven members, chosen by the General Meeting.
The Chairman of the Board is elected by the General Meeting. The
composition of the Board shall ensure that the Board can attend to
the common interests of all shareholders and meet the Company’s
need for expertise, capacity, and diversity. It is of great importance to
the Company that the board members have the relevant competen-
cies to independently evaluate the cases presented to them by the
executive management, as well as to monitor the daily operations of
the Company.
The term of office for members of the Board of Directors shall not
be longer than two years at the time. Members of the Board of
Directors may be re-elected. The Company’s Board of Directors shall
normally not include members of the executive management team.
The Company strives to apply NUES’ criteria to evaluate whether a
director can be considered independent. The Board should have a
composition that enables it to attend to the common interests of all
shareholders and operate independently of special interests. Any
deviation from the independence principle will be properly explained
by the Company. Any director experiencing a change in his or her
ability to act independently is obligated to notify the Chairman of the
Board. At least two of the shareholder-elected board members shall
be independent of the Company’s main shareholders.
The Board of Directors held eleven meetings in 2022.
9. The Board of Directors – work and instructions
The formal responsibilities of the Board of Directors are mandated by
Norwegian law. The fundamental responsibility of the directors is to
oversee day-to-day management and evaluate strategy, to exercise
their business judgment acting in what they reasonably believe to
be the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. The
Board of Directors is also to oversee such matters as are required
by statutory law, the Company’s Articles of Association, policies,
instructions and procedures as well as resolutions or the resolutions
of the General Meeting. It is the duty of the Board of Directors to
monitor management’s performance to ensure that the Company
operates in an effective and ethical manner, focused on creating
value for the Company’s shareholders. The Board of Directors also
evaluates the Company’s overall strategy and evaluates performance
against the management’s operating plan. The Board of Directors is
responsible for supervising strategic, financial and execution risks, as
well as exposures associated with the Company’s business strategy,
products- and services innovation and sales road map, policy
matters, significant litigation and regulatory exposures, and other
current matters that may present a material risk to the Company’s
financial performance, operations, infrastructure, plans, prospects
or reputation, acquisitions, and divestitures. Furthermore, the Board
of Directors shall control the ongoing activities of the Company
in a satisfactory manner. Instructions for the Board of Directors:
The Board of Directors shall issue instructions for its own work as
well as for the executive personnel with emphasis on clear internal
allocation of responsibilities and duties. In order to ensure a more
independent consideration of matters of a material character in which
the Chairman of the Board is, or has been, personally involved, the
Board’s consideration of such matters shall be chaired by some other
members of the Board.
Audit Committee: The audit committee’s main responsibilities are to
ensure the integrity of the Group’s financial reporting, to supervise the
Group’s internal control and risk management system, to ensure the
auditor’s independence, to inform the Board of the results of the stat-
utory audit, and to ensure that the annual accounts give a fair picture
of the Group’s financial results and financial condition in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. The audit committee
works as the Board’s risk committee, reviews the procedures for risk
management, and assesses the risks and financial controls related
to the Group’s business activities. The audit committee ensures that
the company has a sufficient focus on ESG to contribute to sustain-
able development and appropriate risk management to minimize the
negative impact of the operations. The audit committee also receives
reports on the work of the external auditor and the results of the
audits.
As of 31 December 2022, the audit committee consisted of the
following members:
• Martin Nes (Chair)
• Henrik Lie-Nielsen
• Kristin Hellebust
The audit committee held five meetings in 2022.

Instructions for the CEO: Executive management and Board of
Directors’ responsibilities are clearly segregated. The CEO shall follow
the guidelines and instructions issued by the Board of Directors. The
CEO is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Company
pursuant to section 6-14 of the Norwegian Public Limited Companies
Act. The CEO represents the Company externally in matters that form
part of day-to-day management. The day-to-day management does
not cover matters of extraordinary nature or of major importance.
However, the CEO is authorized to decide on matters of extraordinary
nature or of major importance in cases where the decisions of the
Board of Directors cannot be awaited without serious detriment to the
Company. The Board of Directors shall be notified of the decision as
soon as possible.
Financial reporting: The Board of Directors is responsible for ensuring
the integrity of financial information. The Board evaluates the integ-
rity of the Company’s accounting and financial reporting systems,
including the audit of the Company’s annual financial statements by
the independent auditor, and that there are appropriate systems of
internal control in place. The main purpose of risk management and
internal control is to provide reasonable assurance that the group will
achieve:
• Compliance with legislation and regulations, as well as internal
guidelines
• Quality and efficiency within internal operations
• Reliable internal and external reporting quarterly and annual
financial reports are reviewed and approved at board meetings
and form the basis for external financial reporting. Upon the
presentation of year-end financial statements, the CEO and the
CFO declare that the accounts have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, and that to the best
of their knowledge, all information is accurate, and no material
information has been omitted. The Company uses an external
accounting agency for all Group companies.
Disqualification: The CEO or a member of the board may not partici-
pate in the discussion on Board issues that are of special financial or
personal interest to the individual in question.
10. Risk management and internal control
The Board of Directors performs an annual audit of the main risks and
internal control routines of the Company. The audit shall encompass
the issues that have been brought to the Board of Directors’ attention
throughout the year. The routines for internal control shall encompass
the Company’s adherence to its values, and its guidelines on ethics
and corporate social responsibility.
11. Remuneration of the Board of Directors
The Ordinary General Meeting approves the remuneration paid to
the Board of Directors. The Nomination Committee is responsible for
issuing a proposal on the remuneration terms to the AGM.
12. Remuneration of executive management
In accordance with the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies
Act, the Board of Directors establishes guidelines for the remu-
neration of the executive management team. These guidelines are
presented to the General Meeting through a statement on remuner-
ation for executive management. The statement is presented for an
advisory vote, which is subject to the General Meeting’s approval. The
Company’s general principle for management remuneration is to offer
competitive terms, to attract and retain the competence it needs.
13. Information and communication
Regular information to the Company’s shareholders and the market
is provided through the annual report, quarterly reports, and open
presentations. All reports and notices are issued and distributed
according to the rules and regulations of the Oslo Stock Exchange.
Insider information is treated in accordance with Norwegian law.
Shareholder information, including the financial calendar, is available
on www.arribatec.com. The Company’s CEO and CFO is responsible
for investor relations. The Company has established procedures
for discussions with shareholders other than at Ordinary General
Meetings. All information distributed to the Company’s shareholders is
published on the Company’s website at the same time as it is sent to
shareholders.
14. Take-overs
There are no defense mechanisms against take-over bids in the
Company’s Articles of Association or in any underlying governance
document. In corporate takeovers or restructuring situations, the
Board shall exercise due and proper care so that all shareholder
values and interests are preserved. The Board of Directors will ensure
that the shareholders are given enough information and time to
form a view of the offer in a bid situation. The Board of Directors will
handle take-over bids in accordance with Norwegian laws and regu-
lations. Furthermore, the Board of Directors will seek to comply with
the recommendations set out in the NUES, including arranging for a
valuation from an independent expert and making a recommendation
as to whether the shareholders should accept the bid. Other than the
guidelines described above, the Board of Directors has not found it
appropriate to establish any other written explicit principles for how it
will act in the event of a take-over bid.

15. Auditor
The external auditor is elected by the General Meeting. The auditor
is fully independent of the Company. BDO is the Company’s auditor.
Each year the auditor presents the Board of Directors with a plan for
the implementation of the audit, and a written confirmation that the
auditor satisfies established requirements pertaining to independence
and objectivity. The auditor participates in the Audit Committee’s
meetings. The auditor provides the Audit Committee and the Board
with its perspectives on the annual statement and informs them of
any disagreements between the auditor and the executive manage-
ment. The Board of Directors also has contact with the auditor when
required outside the situations mentioned above. At least once a
year, the auditor attends a meeting with the Board of Directors in
which no representatives from the Company’s executive management
will be present. During 2022, the auditor attended 1 board meeting
and 5 Audit Committee meetings. The auditor is present at the
General Meeting, where the Board of Directors also informs about
the compensation for the auditory work required by law and remu-
neration associated with other assignments. Information on the fees
paid to the auditor in 2022, including a breakdown between statutory
auditing and other assistance/service is presented in notes to the
consolidated financial statements. In connection with the auditor’s
presentation to the Board of Directors of the annual work plan, the
Board of Directors considers if the auditor to a satisfactory degree
also carries out a control function.
