PROJECT PERSONNEL
Dovre Group’s Project Personnel business area has
over 30 years of experience as a global provider
of project professionals for large investment pro-
jects. Our main markets are the Nordic countries,
Asia Pacific, North America, and the Middle East.
Our offices are located in Canada, Finland, Norway,
Russia, Singapore and the United States.
WE BUILD OUR BUSINESS ON
EXPERTISE, TRUST AND LOYALTY
Dovre Group helps the world’s leading organizations
succeed in their projects. We ensure access to the
best project professionals – whenever or wherever
our clients need them. As a publicly listed company,
we are a compliant, transparent, and trustworthy
partner for our clients. We consistently get top
scores for quality and service when the customers
review our work.
The key to success in the Project Personnel busi-
ness is access to the best project people. Many of
our consultants have been with us for decades, on
numerous different assignments around the world.
We take good care of our consultants, and together
we take good care of our clients. We are building a
solid portfolio of long-term framework agreements
with existing and new clients.
STRONG GROWTH IN 2021
IN SINGAPORE AND IN NORWAY
In Project Personnel the growth trend that started
already in H2 2020 continued in 2021. The head-
count levels returned to pre-pandemic levels dur-
ing the first quarter of the year, and growth was
particularly strong in Singapore and Norway. In the
third quarter 2021, despite some adverse COVID-19
impacts, Singapore unit reached its all-time high
in headcount with more than 330 consultants
engaged in construction and commissioning of
several projects locally. The market in Norway was
also very active as the combination of high energy
demand, high oil price and the Covid-19 tax reg-
ulations impacted favourably early phase project
activities throughout the year. North America, on
the other hand, had more stable development in
2021. In this market, the completion of the Lower
Churchill Project – a major hydroelectric project –
has been the largest project.
Project Personnel net sales increased by 21.1%
to EUR 76.2 (62.9) million in 2021. Operating profit
increased to EUR 2.9 (1.9) million. The project per
-
sonnel business employed an average of 685 (541)
people.

CONSULTING
Dovre Group’s Consulting business area provides
advisory services for the effective development and
execution of large projects. We operate in the Nordic
countries, with offices in Finland and Norway.
CONTINUOUS VALUE-ADD IS THE KEY IN
LONG-TERM CLIENT RELATIONSHIPS
Large projects typically entail several years of con-
cept development and planning before execution,
and involve large scale investments. Many of our
clients maintain project or procurement portfolios
that include several projects of different sizes and
in different phases. Others, on the other hand, have
only one larger project running at a time, but this
project is often significant compared to the client’s
other investments or business costs. Success in the
consulting business requires the ability to contin-
uously provide our clients with the services they
value. We focus on building long-term customer
relationships based on framework agreements and
practical advice.
WE EXPANDED TO INDUSTRIAL REALITY
CAPTURE BUSINESS IN FINLAND
In Consulting Finland, the major event was that we
continued our business diversification by purchas
-
ing industrial reality capture business eSite from
Fortum in August. eSite specializes in 3D-imaging of
industrial sites and operating plants to improve pro-
ject execution and operating plant’s performance,
and we see it as a promising venture in expanding
and strengthening our existing service offering. We
expect the value creating impacts of this purchase
to be visible in our business from 2022 onward.
PROFITABLE GROWTH
Consulting in Norway had a very active start of
the year with several large public sector consult-
ing projects ongoing in the first half of 2021. The
unit announced, for example, new agreements with
Statsbygg and Gassnova in Norway. The activity
gradually normalised in the second half of the year
after several major projects were finalised by sum
-
mer. The volumes remained, however, on a healthy
level.
In 2021, Consulting’s net sales increased by 11.0
percent to EUR 16.1 (14.5) million and operating
profit increased to EUR 2.3 (1.5) million. The busi-
ness group employed an average of 88 (85) people
during the year.

RENEWABLE ENERGY
Dovre’s strategy to further diversify and
expand into renewable energy led to the
acquisition of a 51% majority of Suvic
Oy in March 2021. Suvic Oy, which forms
Dovre’s Renewable Energy business
area, is a development company spe-
cialising in the construction of energy
solutions, in particular wind farm pro
-
jects and project management. It also
offers contracting for the energy and
industrial constr uction sector, and ser-
vices including consulting, engineering
and budgeting of development projects.
With the acquisition Dovre also
strengthened its position in Finland. We
are committed to build our renewable
energy operations further and continue
our diversification, and already in 2021
we reached more than 50% of our sales
outside oil and gas.
Most projects in Renewable Energy
are carried out during summer months,
which means that the Renewable
Energy business has stronger season-
ality than the other two businesses.
SEVERAL NEW PROJECTS
ANNOUNCED IN 2021
Renewable Energy business had a very
active year in 2021. Suvic Oy started
five new windmill park projects, which
altogether include 110 windmills, and
announced two others. The scope in
the five projects that were started var-
ied from constructing the foundations
for windmills to complete turn-key solu-
tions including roads, lifting platforms,
foundations, power stations, main
power station, internal power grid and
main power grid as ground cabling. The
project sites are all located in Western
or Northern Finland.
The two additional projects that will
start in 2022 include building in two dif-
ferent sites the infrastructure for alto-
gether 56 windmills, including roads,
lifting platforms, foundations, internal
power grid and main power grid ground
works. Suvic’s order backlog for 2022
exceeded 50 million euros at year-end.
In April–December 2021, Renewa-
ble Energy net sales totaled EUR 50.4
(-) million, and operating profit was
EUR 1.9 (-) million. The business group
employed an average of 22 (-) people
during the year.

CEO’S REVIEW
CEO’S REVIEW 2021
Dovre’s year of 2021 was marked by our suc-
cessful expansion to Renewables and the
strengthening of our position in Project Per-
sonnel and Consulting businesses in Finland. In
addition to significant growth, our profitability
and customer satisfaction improved. In 2022,
we will continue to further diversify our busi-
ness for continued profitable growth.
A SHIFT TOWARDS GREEN ENERGY
Dovre’s year 2021 can rightly be characterized as a shift
towards Green Energy. The acquisition of a 51 percent major-
ity shareholding in the Finnish windmill park design and con-
struction company Suvic Oy at the end of March 2021 was
a significant step in implementing our growth strategy and
expanding our operations into renewable energy.
With the acquisition, we established a new Renewable
Energy business area, which has become a significant part
of Dovre’s business in less than a year: its net sales in April–
December already accounted for 35% of Dovre’s full-year
2021 net sales. During the same period, we announced seven
new wind farm projects, and further three in February 2022.
While the Suvic acquisition expands our business into a
new area for windmill park design and construction, we see
significant synergies between our Renewable Energy and our
other businesses. We have been working with our energy cli
-
ents for 40 years and have supported them in their transition
to renewable energy on various wind and solar power projects,
and other green energy projects. The acquisition of Suvic
deepens our expertise in windmill park projects, and we will
invest in capitalizing on the growth opportunities arising from
the Suvic acquisition.
RAPID GROWTH IN PROJECT
PERSONNEL AND CONSULTING
The business also developed well in the Project Personnel and
Consulting business areas, as the operating environment grad-
ually normalized as restrictions on the Covid-19 pandemic were
lifted and vaccination coverage increased. We won several new
framework agreements and individual agreements in both
business units, such as the consulting framework agreements
with Statsbygg and Gassnova in Norway. The combined organic
revenue growth of the two business areas was 19.2% in 2021.
In the Project Personnel business, the largest growth came
from Singapore and Norway. The number of employees in our
Singapore unit rose to a record level in Q3 with completion of
the Johan Castberg project at the end of 2021. In Norway, the
demand for our services was boosted by higher oil price and

CEO’S REVIEW
to new clients and industries, such as transportation, construc-
tion, digitalisation and defence sectors.
We expect the competitive market situation to remain
tight, and we will closely monitor oil price developments and
other market movements. At the time of writing this review
in early March 2022, we have also faced the uncertainty of
the global economy caused by the outbreak of war in Ukraine
and related measures. The effects of the new situation on
our customers’ business and demand for our services are
still unclear. However, the covid-19 pandemic and the excep-
tional circumstances it created have shown that we have the
capacity to adapt quickly to changing situations. In addition,
COVID-19 tax incentives, that accelerated project early phase
activities in the oil and gas sector.
The positive development in the Norwegian consulting
business continued throughout the year. The most significant
event in the Finnish Consulting business was the acquisition
of the eSite business from Fortum. eSite specializes in plant
imaging and 3D modelling. We will utilise this opportunity in
expanding and strengthening our current service offering and
expect the benefits to be visible in our business from 2022
onwards.
Despite strong growth, we were also able to improve our
profitability and customer satisfaction. Dovre Group’s net sales
in 2021 increased by 84.2% to 142.7 million euros and the oper-
ating profit margin improved to 4.3 (3.0) %. With the growth
of our business, our number of employees also increased and
was 865 (610) at the end of the year.
SHIFT TO RENEWABLES AND
DIGITALISATION SUPPORT OUR GROWTH
As a global provider of project management services, we oper-
ate at the crossroads of megatrends such as climate change
and digitalisation. Our value creation for our stakeholders is
primarily based on the diversity of our business, the expertise
of our consultants, maintaining our long-term customer rela-
tionships and keeping our operating costs low. We will continue
to invest in our personnel to ensure that the best consultants
remain in our service and are available to our clients’ projects.
Our strategic priorities are to continue to grow, improve
profitability and further diversify our business. We plan to
further expand our services in the energy sector. In addition,
our goal is to increase the share of Consulting in our business
and to continue to diversify our offering in this business area
the importance of energy and renewable energy has been
clearly proven.
I want to thank our employees, whose professionalism and
dedication enable us to serve the world’s largest companies
and exceed their expectations. I also thank our customers,
shareholders, and other stakeholders for their valuable sup-
port.

Investor Relations
Dovre Group’s mission is to support an envi-
ronmentally and socially sustainable future
by providing high value competence in major
investment projects in the private and pub-
lic sectors. We create value to our clients by
helping them to reach their goals.
OUR VALUE CREATION IS BASED ON
PROJECTS, EXPERTISE AND TRUST
Dovre Group provides advisory services, project management
solutions and professional project personnel. Our personnel’s
deep expertise and ability to advise, develop and manage
client projects form the core of Dovre Group’s business model
and enable its growth and development. To succeed in crea-
ting value for our customers we must first ensure that the
best experts in our field continue to be available to us as con
-
sultants, and thereafter ensure that our clients have access
to the right people at the right time.
The industries we focus on are energy, building & infra
-
structure, industry, mining and pulp & paper. Our clients are
leading private and public organizations, and the projects in
which we partner are typically long-term and complex. Due
to the nature of our business, trust is a key element in our
business. Therefore, the long-term financial success of Dovre
Group depends on – in addition to our employees’ ability to
offer valuable advice to clients over time – the long-term
customer and employee relationships that are built on trust
and loyalty.
OUR STRATEGY TARGETS
PROFITABLE GROWTH
We aim at profitable growth by increasing revenues and profit
margins in our existing business units. In 2021 we successfully
diversified our business into renewable energy with the acqui-
sition of a 51% majority in Suvic Oy, but also by purchasing
the eSite industrial reality capture business to complement
our Consulting business in Finland. We are committed to build
our renewable energy operations further and continue our
diversification. We also aim at increasing the relative size of
Consulting in our business.
Dovre Group’s business units have ambitious strategies
that aim for first-class project implementation and customer
experiences, sustainable growth and solid financial perfor-
mance of the Group.
The coronavirus pandemic and its impacts on business
demand have proved the resilience of our business model
in uncertain times. Our ability to continue operations on a
remote basis and to adjust operations to the extent needed
has been possible thanks to our strong relationships with our
clients and our highly committed personnel and consultants.
In addition, our healthy financial position has added to our
adaptivity in 2020 and 2021.
OPERATING ENVIRONMENT AND
OUR COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES
Our long experience in project consulting provides us with a
deep understanding of our clients and our operating environ-
ment. The market is highly competitive both for winning new
clients and projects and for finding new talented consultants.
DOVRE GROUP AS AN INVESTMENT
In Consulting (Norway and Finland) we compete mainly with
local companies specialized in Project management, whereas
in Project Personnel our competitors vary from global large
players to smaller local companies. In Renewable Energy in
Finland our competitors include both domestic and interna-
tional players.
Increased competition puts margins on the pressure at the
same time as client needs rapidly evolve in line with global
megatrends such as sustainability, digitalisation and increasing
regulation. Area-specific differences in local economies and
business cycles in our focus sectors may vary, which requires
close monitoring of the market. On the other hand, the scope
and diversity of our business and clients also mitigates the
impacts of country, area and sector specific risks.

MAIN EVENTS IN 2021
During 2021, Dovre Group announced two strategic acquisitions, i.e. the acquisition of a 51%
majority shareholding in Suvic Oy and the eSite business acquisition. They both support Dov
-
re’s strategic targets of further diversifying the Group’s business by increasing the relative
share of revenues from land-based industries and renewable energy production and aiming
for first-class project implementation and customer experiences, sustainable growth, and the
solid financial performance of the Group.
SUVIC ACQUISITION AND THE NEW RENEWABLE ENERGY SEGMENT
In March, Dovre Group completed the acquisition of a majority shareholding in the Finnish
windmill park construction and construction design company Suvic Oy, which specializes in
building windmill park infrastructure as a turn-key solution as a single contractor.
Suvic Oy, headquartered in Oulu, Finland, continues its operations as part of Dovre Group
as an independent operational unit. The company was consolidated with Dovre Group from
March 31, 2021, and reported as part of the new Renewable Energy segment.
Further information on the acquisition can be found in the stock exchange releases issued by Dovre
Group on March 10, 2021, and March 31, 2021.
ESITE BUSINESS ACQUISITION
Dovre Group purchased eSite operations from Fortum in a transaction announced in August
2021. eSite is a reality capture start-up company that specializes in 3D-imaging of industrial sites
and operating plants to improve project execution and the performance of operating plants.
eSite’s secure cloud services make it possible for relevant stakeholders to visit industrial plants
and construction sites remotely and improve project execution, shutdown planning, operations
and maintenance, and safety at site.
The acquired reality capture services expand Dovre’s offering in project consulting and they
are integrated into Proha’s project management solutions.
Further information on the transaction can be found in the stock exchange releases issued by Dovre
Group on August 16, 2021.
NET SALES

reased mainly due to the Suvic acquisition and the resulting strong growth in the Renewable

35 (-) % of the Group’s net sales. Renewable Energy is included in the figures for April–December,

tracting for the energy and industrial construction sector, and services including consulting,
engineering, and budgeting of development projects.
In all three business areas Dovre Group’s consultants typically work on clients’ premises and
project sites. Following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, projects were managed
to the extent possible from remote locations and home offices also in 2021. Dovre expects these
changes to be in part permanent, leading to less travel and more remote and home office work
in the future. The eSite business acquired in 2021 contributes to the needs of remote work and
project management for its part. However, as many projects require on-site visits and project
management, the need for local resources is expected to increase in the future. In general, the
need for consultants within project management is still mainly driven by project investment
levels, which are projected to remain at a good level after the COVID-19 pandemic.
Value creation for shareholders
Dovre Group’s clients include private companies and public organisations. Its competent person-
nel, with the ability to advise, develop, and manage projects, forms the core of the company’s
business model and enables its growth and development. For the successful development,
planning, and execution of projects, it is crucial to find the right people with the right skills,
and to make sure that they are in the right locations at the right time.
By ensuring access to the best project professionals and by delivering the specific expertise
that is needed for each individual client project, Dovre is able to help its clients reach their
goals. The long-term financial success of Dovre is based on its employees’ ability to offer val
-
uable advice to clients over time and on the long-term client and employee relationships that
are built on trust and loyalty.
Remote working conditions during the COVID-19 pandemic have underlined the importance
of clear communications, precise project management, and the ability to adjust in changing
situations. We expect remote working conditions to lead to greater demand for knowledge and
flexibility and to drive further digitalisation.
THE FOUNDATIONS FOR RESPONSIBLE OPERATIONS
Dovre seeks to act responsibly in all its operations. The Group’s Code of Conduct defines the
general principles on how the company treats others, how to engage in business, and how
to safeguard corporate assets. The Code of Conduct tells Dovre’s clients, investors, and the
communities in which it works that Dovre is committed to following only the highest ethical
standards. The Code of Conduct is available to all stakeholders on the Group’s website (Investors
-> Corporate Governance).
All Dovre employees (including staff, consultants, and contractors) are expected to comply
with the Code of Conduct, have a detailed knowledge of its provisions, and assume personal
responsibility for performing their duties with fairness and integrity.
In addition, Dovre follows the principles of the United Nations’ Universal Declaration of
Human Rights. The Group’s operations in Norway, Canada, and Singapore are ISO9001:2015
certified.
ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY
As an expert organisation where most of the client work is carried out at the clients’ organisa
-
tions and offices, the direct environmental impacts of Dovre’s own operations are moderate.
In addition to the electricity consumption of its own offices, the environmental impacts arise
primarily from travel. In particular, project work is mobile and often takes place at clients’
sites, on their premises or on their construction sites. However, traveling to client sites has
decreased strongly since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, and despite the gradual
opening of communities in 2021, Dovre expects the transition to remote work to be partly
permanent. This will in turn lead to permanently reduced environmental impacts as air travel
will be significantly reduced.
Dovre’s Code of Conduct underlines that the Group operates in an environmentally respon
-
sible manner at all its locations around the world. In addition, the company has a written Health,
Safety and Environment (HSE) policy which applies to all employees working under Dovre
Group’s supervision as well as those working under its clients’ supervision. In the HSE policy,
the Group advises to minimize waste and prohibits the contamination of the environment.
Through systematic HSE work, Dovre minimizes harm to the environment. Consultants and
contractors who work under a client’s supervision are also expected to meet all of the client’s
HSE policies and standards.
Due to the nature of Dovre’s business, the indirect impacts of its operations on the environ
-
ment are estimated to be significantly larger than the direct impacts. Amounting to more than
1,000 new client assignments per year, client projects are at the very core of Dovre’s impact on
societies and the environment. With the introduction of the new Renewable Energy business in
2021, Dovre diversified its services further into the energy sector and is currently contributing
through its subsidiary Suvic Oy’s windmill park projects to the energy transition and a more
extensive use of renewable energy in society. This transformation is a key focus area for the

company. Dovre estimates that the handprint of its Renewable Energy business will outweigh
the direct footprint of its own operations already in the next few years.
Dovre’s key contribution to sustainability arises from participating in designing and man
-
aging the projects and consulting clients to the highest standards, which are based on the
Dovre Code of Conduct. Dovre Group performs strictly within the framework of its clients’ final
investment decisions and Dovre’s contracts with clients.
SOCIAL AND EMPLOYEE-RELATED MATTERS
Responsibility in client relationships
Dovre’s focus is on managing projects, supporting operations, and consulting with clients
according to the highest professional and ethical standards. An ability to help clients develop
their businesses in a changing world and to exceed client expectations is a key component for
Dovre’s successful business performance.
Dovre Group’s reputation for integrity is built on its respect for laws, regulations, and other
requirements that apply to the conduct of business in all countries in which Dovre Group is
present. It is also based on the trust it has earned from clients. This trust is fundamental to the
company’s business and one of its greatest assets. Therefore, the Group does its best to ensure
high customer satisfaction and access to top talents needed for performing client projects. The
guiding principles of the Group’s operations are fairness and honesty.
In addition to the Company’s Code of Conduct, which guides all of Dovre’s business opera
-
tions, the Group has country-specific procedures and guidelines to support consistent, high-qual-
ity customer service in use. The new procedures introduced in 2020 following the COVID-19
pandemic have been further adjusted in 2021 to minimize social risks of any kind during the
pandemic.
Customer satisfaction assessments, and surveys if applicable, are performed in each unit
in order to secure the continuous improvement of the company’s services. Dovre organizes
quality assessment meetings with its largest clients to assess customer satisfaction and its
progress compared to previous years.
Data protection and information security
As a part of their work, Dovre’s employees get access to a wide range of client data. The com
-
pany seeks a high level of data protection, data privacy, and information security in all of its
activities. Dovre is committed to protecting the data, materials, and devices in our possession,
regardless of who they belong to – the Group, clients, or partners.
Dovre Group respects employees’ right to privacy in relation to the confidentiality of per
-
sonal information and handles all personal information confidentially and in compliance with
the applicable privacy laws and regulations.
Employee satisfaction
Professional employees are the most important asset in the Group. Since the company’s success
depends on being able to offer and place the right talents for each client project, the Group’s
social responsibility is mainly related to the company’s personnel and working conditions.
Dovre’s Code of Conduct is the foundation of the company’s human resource manage-
ment. The Group aims to be a desired employer in the project management sector and wants
to support the employee experience, personnel well-being, and development of expertise.
Dovre’s aim is to keep talented consultants in Dovre’s network. Access to the most talented
employees is ensured by competitive compensation and cooperation with universities in the
Norway unit. In addition, consultants have the possibility to have an impact on their working
hours and working assignments.
The majority of Dovre’s consultants work on the clients’ premises, and remote working
practices were common already before the COVID-19 pandemic. We have worked closely with
our clients and consultants to minimize all adverse impacts during the pandemic.
In 2021, the Group had on average 796 (629) employees, of which 685 (541) worked in
the Project Personnel business, 88 (85) worked in Consulting business, and 22 (-) worked in
Renewable Energy business. In the Project Personnel business, 92 (91) % of the employees
were on temporary employment agreement, working as a freelancer or as subcontracted per
-
sonnel, and 8 (9) % were permanent employees. In the Consulting business, 45 (39) % were
permanent employees and 55 (62) % worked as a temporary or freelancer/subcontractor. In
the Renewable Energy business, 100 (-) % were permanent employees.
Employee satisfaction is monitored with surveys, which are performed in each unit regularly.
The results have been good.
Occupational health and safety
Dovre is committed to protecting the health, safety, and security of everyone at all its sites and
locations, offering the same high standards wherever it has operations. The Group demands
its clients, contractors, and partners show this same commitment. The rapid transition to the
extensive use of remote work and home offices has challenged everyone, and this type of work
creates both a positive and negative impact on health, safety, and security. Our preliminary
evaluations show that even if these changes were implemented very fast, the majority of our
consultants have adapted to them very well. We have not received major negative reports on
this transition, but of course the long-term effects are yet unclear.

Dovre expects its personnel to comply with applicable laws, standards, and instructions
related to health and safety in the workplace. All the employees have a responsibility to report
any hazardous situations they may witness, or any incident indicating such risks, and to help
implement preventive measures. Safety guidelines must be strictly adhered to.
The Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) policy has a high interest and value for Dovre’s
operations, and it applies to all employees working under the supervision of Dovre Group or its
clients. The Group’s long-term goal is to avoid all injuries and loss. HSE procedures and routines
are designed to ensure a safe work environment at any time to safeguard the health and safety
of personnel. Since the majority of work is carried out at clients’ offices, all consultants and
contractors working under the supervision of clients are also expected to meet all the clients’
HSE policies and standards. Measures to offset any risks related to environment, health, and
safety issues are applied at all sites and throughout projects and implemented in cooperation
with the relevant bodies and committees.
Dovre Group recognises that alcohol abuse and drug use pose significant threats to job
performance and the safety and security of operations. The company exercises zero tolerance
to working under the influence of any intoxicating substances.
In 2021, the Group had less than 2 (2) % absences due to illness and no major incidents
were reported.
RESPECTING HUMAN RIGHTS
Dovre’s Code of Conduct includes a commitment to respecting human rights. The Group follows
the principles of the United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and honors labor
rights and international labor standards.
Dovre treats all its employees fairly and equally. The Group values and fosters fair treatment
and equal opportunity in the recruitment, remuneration, development, and advancement of
employees.
Diversity, equality, and non-discrimination
Dovre is committed to a policy of non-discrimination on the grounds of age, race, gender,
ethnic origin, nationality, religion, health, disability, marital status, sexual preference, political
or philosophical opinions, trade-union membership, or any other characteristics protected by
applicable law. It does not accept any form of sexual, physical or psychological harassment.
The company complies with all laws pertaining to freedom of association, privacy, collective
bargaining, working time, wages and salaries, and laws prohibiting forced, compulsory, and child
labor, and employment discrimination.
In addition to the requirement for all employees to follow these principles included in the
company’s Code of Conduct, Dovre promotes equal opportunities in its business operations
regularly.
The gender split in management in all units was 62 (54) % male and 38 (46) % female, and
in administration, including selling operations, research and development, finance, and human
resources, it was 46 (29) % male and 53 (71) % female. The total Group gender split was 79
(76) % male and 21 (24) % female.
Dovre had more than 25 different nationalities working for the company in 2021.
ANTI-CORRUPTION AND BRIBERY
Dovre prohibits improper payments as well as any form of extortion or corruption, including
bribes. The Group is committed to strict compliance with anti-money laundering laws. The
Group’s personnel must not participate in any agreement with any competitor or other party
that may have the intent or effect of fixing prices, distorting a bidding process, dividing a market
or participating in any kind of activity which is against open and fair competition.
RISK MANAGEMENT AND ADDRESSING CLIMATE CHANGE
The Group’s non-financial risks are managed as a part of the company’s general risk manage
-
ment process and in line with its general risk management policy. This policy is described in
the Group’s Corporate Governance Statement, which is available at: (https://www.dovregroup.
com/investors/corporate-governance.html).
From the shareholder perspective, the largest non-financial risks are:
1) losing access to top consultants
2) losing client trust and good reputation.
These risks are mitigated by ensuring access to top talents and ensuring employee well-being,
continuous monitoring of customer satisfaction, proper governance, and risk management
policies.
The Group’s general risk management is guided by the legal requirements, business require-
ments set by shareholders of the company, and the expectations of clients, personnel, and other
important stakeholders. The goal of risk management is to systematically and comprehensively
acknowledge and identify any risks relating to the company’s operations and to make sure that
all such risks are appropriately accounted for when making business decisions.
The Group’s risk management procedures support the achievement of the Group’s strategic
goals and seek to ensure the continuity of the Group’s business operations. The Group takes
risks that are a natural part of its strategy and objectives. The Group is not ready to take risks

that might endanger the continuity of its operations or be uncontrollable or that may signifi-
cantly harm the Group’s operations.
In accordance with the Group’s risk management procedures, the Board of Directors receives
an annual report of the most significant risks facing the Group. The Board analyses the risks
from the point of view of shareholder value. In addition, each unit has a separate risk register
and procedure to mitigate business risk.
Planned future actions
The Group further plans to develop its processes in the next few years by identifying material
corporate responsibility items and defining corporate responsibility principles, risks, and key
performance indicators for each specific non-financial reporting area.
In addition, the Group monitors different regulatory initiatives and prepares for the EU’s
CSRD reporting from 2023 onward.
Climate change
The risks related to climate change and to the major shift towards renewable energy are already
addressed by our strategy. The number of projects within renewable energy is expected to
increase during the next few years.
The direct impacts of climate change are being continuously monitored in each unit and are
addressed annually in our risk assessments. Current direct risks are mainly related to business
contingency during major environmental challenges like environmental disasters (major storms
or exceptional weather conditions).
Through its wind farm projects, the Renewable Energy business contributes to the trans
-
formation of the energy sector and the wider use of renewable energy in society. This change
is a key focus for Dovre Group.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
Dovre Group follows the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code 2020 issued by
the Finnish Securities Market Association. The Corporate Governance Statement 2021 has been
issued separately from the report of the Board of Directors and is available on the company’s
investors site and in its Annual Report 2021. Dovre Group’s corporate governance principles
are available at www.dovregroup.com -> Investors.
BUSINESS SEASONALITY
Dovre Group’s Renewable Energy business has stronger seasonality than the other two busi-
nesses due to the fact that most of its projects are carried out during the summer months. As
the segments fixed costs spread evenly throughout the year, its operating profit is seasonally
at its lowest in Q1 and at its highest in Q3.
The Project Personnel and Consulting businesses are carried out more evenly during the
year with limited seasonal variations.
SHORT-TERM RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
In the Project Personnel business area, the Group’s most significant risks include the cyclicality
of its clients’ business. Market developments in Norway are particularly important for Project
Personnel due to the business area’s strong position in the Norwegian market. In addition,
expansion into new client segments requires expenditure and includes risks. The business
area’s other challenges are found in maintaining its competitiveness and profitability. The
Project Personnel business is project-based by nature, thus adding an element of uncertainty
to forecasting. From time to time, there might be a local dependence on one major project
or client. Dovre Group is responsible for the work performed by its consultants. However, the
company has no overall responsibility for project delivery.
In the Consulting business area, general economic uncertainty does not have as direct an
impact on the demand for the Group’s services. This is mainly due to the fact that one of the
Group’s main clients, the Norwegian public sector, aims to invest counter-cyclically. Project
delivery involves minor risks due to both clients and the Group’s own personnel, such as project
delays or loss of key personnel.
In the Renewable Energy business area, Suvic has in its normal operations various contrac
-
tual risks depending on the differences in scope of work for each. These risks are mitigated
through performance and various guarantees and insurances.
Dovre Group holds a minority share in SaraRasa Bioindo Pte. Ltd. (Bioindo), a company that
produces pellets from wood residue. Bioindo’s production unit is located in Indonesia and is
thus exposed to high country risk. Other significant risks include risks relating to commercial
agreements, especially feedstock purchase and end-product sale agreements.
The Group’s reporting currency is the euro. The Group’s most important functional curren
-
cies are the Norwegian crown, the Canadian dollar, the Singaporean dollar, and the US dollar.
Although the Group’s sales and corresponding expenses are mainly in the same currency,

OTHER EVENTS DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD
During 2021, Suvic started five new windmill park projects and announced two additional
projects.
The Karhunnevankangas, Puskakorpi, and Merkkikallio projects all started in May 2021. The
Karhunnevankangas windmill project includes construction of the foundations of 33 windmills
for wpd Construction Finland Oy. The Puskakorpi windmill park (Foresight LLP) project consists
of turn-key construction of infrastructure for 16 windmills, including roads, lifting platforms,
foundations, 110/30 kV power stations, a main power station, a 30 kV internal power grid, and
a 110 kV main power grid as ground cabling. In the third project in Merkkikallio (OX2), Suvic is
designing and constructing 13 windmills, including lifting platforms, internal roads, foundations,
and an internal power grid. Karhunnevankangas and Puskakorpi are located in Pyhäjoki, South
of Oulu, and Merkkikallio is located near Vaasa and Mustasaari in Western Finland.
In September, Suvic started the Nuolivaara and Lappfjärd projects. Nuolivaara includes the
construction of the foundations of 17 windmills for wpd Construction Finland Oy. The Lappfjärd
windmill park consists of turn-key construction of the foundations of 31 windmills, including a
30 kV internal power grid for CPC Finland Oy and Prime Capital AG. Nuolivaara is located in
Kemijärvi, and Lappfjärd is in the City of Kristiinankaupunki.
In addition, at the end of December 2021, Suvic Oy signed a large project management
contract with Finnish energy company Fortum. The contract consists of building for Närpiö’s
Pjelax-Bölen and Kristinestad’s Norr windmill parks the infrastructure for 56 windmills, including
roads, lifting platforms, foundations, a 30 kV internal power grid and 110 kV main power grid
ground works.
Suvic’s order backlog for 2022 exceeded EUR 50 million at the end of December 2021.
EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD
NEW WINDMILL PARK AGREEMENTS
On February 3, 2022, Suvic Oy announced a significant turn-key construction project to build
Kalistanneva windmill park. The contract is conditional on receiving a “Notice to Proceed”
notification, which is expected by the end of February. Kalistanneva is a joint project between
Helen Oy and Ålandsbanken’s Windpower Investment Fund. The consortium has acquired the
project from Valorem Ltd.
The contract consists of building the infrastructure for 30 windmills, including roads, lifting
platforms, foundations, a 33/110 kV power station and 33 kV internal grid ground works. The
work will commence in April 2022 and is expected to be completed by December 2023.
On February 10, 2022, Suvic announced the signing of a significant turn-key construction
project to build the Matkussaari wind farm. The contract is conditional on receiving a “Notice
to Proceed” notification, which is expected by the end of February. Matkussaari is a project
owned by Valorem Ltd. And, together with the previously announced Kalistanneva wind farm,
they are together called Viiatti, with a combined capacity of 313.5 MW.
The contract consists of building the infrastructure for 27 windmills, including roads, lifting
platforms, foundations, a 33/110 kV power station and 33 kV internal grid ground works. The
installed capacity will be 148,5 MW. The work will commence in April 2022 and is expected to be
mainly completed by December 2023. The last task to be performed during 2024 is connecting
the 33 kV cabling to the windmills. With this new contract Suvic’s order backlog for 2022 is
about EUR 90 million.
OUTLOOK FOR 2022
Dovre Group’s net sales in 2022 is expected to be more than EUR 165 million (2021: EUR 142.7
million). The operating profit (EBIT) is expected to be better than last year (2021: EUR 6.1 million).
BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ PROPOSAL FOR DISTRIBUTION
OF A DIVIDEND
On December 31, 2021, the parent company’s distributable funds were EUR 21,428,945.17.

3. SHARES AND SHAREHOLDERS
The AGM held on June 10, 2021 authorized the Board of Directors to decide on the repurchase of
the company’s own shares and to decide on the issuance of new shares and/or the conveyance of own
shares held by the company and/or the granting of special rights referred to in Chapter 10, Section 1 of the
Finnish Companies Act. Both authorizations cover a maximum of 10,100,000 shares, which corresponds
to a maximum of 9.5% of the total number of shares in the company. The authorizations are valid until
June 30, 2022, and revoke the previously granted corresponding authorizations.
During 2021, Dovre Group Plc’s Board of Directors did not use the authorizations granted in 2020
or 2021 to repurchase own shares. The Board of Directors used the authorization given by the 2020
AGM to decide on the issuance of new shares, the conveyance of own shares and/or the granting of
special rights referred to in Chapter 10, Section 1 of the Companies Act when it decided on the directed
share issue to the sellers of Suvic Oy in March 2021 and on transferring own shares to key personnel
in accordance with the long-term incentive program 2018–2020. The corresponding mandate issued in
2021 is completely unused.
OWN SHARES
Dovre Group did not repurchase the company’s own shares during 2021.
At the beginning of the year, Dovre Group had 870,337 treasury shares. Of these, a total of 633,612
shares were transferred on March 30, 2021, without consideration to the key persons participating in
the earning period 2018–2020 of the share-based incentive program 2018 according to the terms and
conditions of the program.
At the end of December 2021, Dovre Group Plc held 236,725 of its own shares, representing approx
-
imately 0.22 (0.85)% of all the company’s shares and votes.
OPTION RIGHTS
At the end of 2021, Dovre Group had no open option plans. The subscription period for the 2013C option
plan ended on 28 February 2020. No shares of C Option plan were subscribed.
SHARES AND SHARE CAPITAL
Dovre Group Plc has one class of shares. Each share entitles the shareholder to one vote. Dovre Group
Plc’s shares are listed on Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd.
On January 1, 2021 and December 31, 2021, Dovre Group Plc’s share capital was EUR 9,603,084.48.
The number of shares was 102,956,494 on January 1, 2021 and 105,956,494 on December 31, 2021.
In May 2021, Group’s equity increased following the Suvic acquisition as Dovre Group Plc issued 3
million shares to the sellers of Suvic in a directed new share issue. Each seller paid the subscribed shares
by capital contribution by transferring an amount of Suvic Oy shares corresponding to the subscription
price of the shares. The price of the shares of Dovre Group Plc offered for subscription was determined
by the market price of the share formed in the Helsinki Stock Exchange at the closing date so that the
subscription price of EUR 0.37 for each share was the previously mentioned market price of the share. The
subscription price of EUR 1.1 million was recorded in full in Dovre Group’s invested unrestricted equity fund.
TRADING AND MARKET CAPITALIZATION
In 2021, altogether 60.2 (31.1) million Dovre Group shares were exchanged on Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd., cor-
responding to a trade of approximately EUR 30.9 (8.7) million.

the Group’s shares.
AUTHORIZATIONS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Dovre Group’s Annual General Meeting held on 28 April 2020 authorized the Board of Directors to
decide on the repurchase of the Company’s own shares on the following conditions: the Board is entit-
led to decide on repurchase of a maximum of 10,100,000 of the Company’s own shares, which shall be
repurchased in deviation from the proportion to the holdings of the shareholders using the non-restricted
equity and acquired through trading at the regulated market organized by Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd at the
share price prevailing at the time of acquisition. This number of shares corresponded to approximately
a maximum of 9.9% of the total number of shares in the Company at the end of 2020.

existing standards without a material effect on the consolidated
financial statements.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared
under the historical cost convention unless otherwise stated. Mon-
etary figures in the financial statements are expressed in thousands
of euros (EUR thousand) unless otherwise stated.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accord
-
ance with IFRS requires the Group management to make certain
estimates and exercise judgment when applying accounting prin-
ciples. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or areas
where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated
financial statements are disclosed under “Critical Accounting Esti-
mates and Judgments.”
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the parent company
Dovre Group Plc and all its subsidiaries, which are consolidated
with a 100% shareholding. Subsidiaries are companies in which the
Group holds control either directly or indirectly. Control arises when
the Group either controls more than half of the voting rights or
otherwise holds control. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated in the
Group’s financial statements from the date on which control has
been transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the
date that control ceases.
Mutual shareholdings are eliminated using the acquisition
method. The acquisition consideration and the acquired company’s
identifiable assets and liabilities assumed are measured at fair value
on the date of acquisition.
Any non-controlling interest in the acquiree is recognized on
an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, either at fair value or at the
non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net
assets. Any excess of the consideration transferred over the fair
value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Profit for
the financial year attributable to owners of the parent company
and non-controlling interests is presented in the income statement.
Non-controlling interest in the equity is presented as a separate line
item on the balance sheet.
All intra-Group transactions, receivables, liabilities, unrealized
gains, and the distribution of profits within the Group are eliminated
in the consolidated financial statements.
Foreign currency translation
Items included in the financial statements are initially recognized
in the functional currencies of each Group company. Consolidated
financial statements are presented in euros, which is the parent
company’s functional and presentation currency.
Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are recorded in the functional cur-
rency at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of transaction.
In practice, transactions are often translated at the rate of exchange
that approximates the exchange rate on the transaction date. Mone-
tary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at
the end of the reporting period are translated using the period end
exchange rate.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from business
transactions and from the translation of monetary items at period
end exchange rates are recognized in the income statement and
recorded in financial income and expenses.
Translation of financial statements of the Group’s foreign
subsidiaries
Income statements of foreign subsidiaries are translated into euros
using the weighted average exchange rates for the financial year and
the balance sheets using the exchange rates at the balance sheet
date. The translation of the result for the financial year at different
exchange rates in the income statement and comprehensive income
statement and in the balance sheet causes an average exchange
rate difference, which is recognized in other comprehensive income.
Translation differences arising from the elimination of the acquisi-

tion cost of foreign subsidiaries and from the translation of equity
items accumulated after the acquisition are also recognized in other
comprehensive income.
From the date of transition to IFRS standards, January 1, 2004,
translation differences in equity due to exchange rate changes have
been recognized as a separate item in the Group’s translation differ-
ences in equity. Equity translation differences accumulated before
the transition date have been recognized in the Group’s retained
earnings on the basis of the relief permitted by IFRS 1.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are valued at acquisition cost less accumulated dep-
reciation and impairment losses.
Tangible assets include buildings, machinery and equipment as
well as renovation costs for a rental apartment Planned straight-line
depreciation is calculated on the basis of the probable estimated
useful life of 3 to 5 years. Buildings consist of fixed assets recog-
nized in accordance with the requirements of IFRS16, the accounting
principle of which is described in the Leases section.
Gains and losses on disposals of tangible assets are included in
other operating income or expenses.
Intangible assets
Goodwill
Goodwill arising on business combinations occurring after January
1, 2010 is recognized in the amount by which the consideration
transferred, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree, and the
previously owned interest together exceed the Group’s share of the
fair value of the acquired net assets. Acquisitions made between
January 1, 2004, and December 31, 2009 have been recorded in
accordance with the previous IFRS standard. Goodwill arising from
acquisitions made before 2004 corresponds to the carrying amount
in accordance with previous accounting standards, which has been
used as the deemed cost in accordance with IFRS standards.
Goodwill is not amortized on a straight-line basis, but is tested
annually for impairment. For this purpose, goodwill is allocated to
groups of cash-generating units. Goodwill is measured at cost less
any impairment losses. Goodwill arising on the acquisition of foreign
operations is translated into euros using the exchange rates at the
balance sheet date.
Research and development costs
Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development costs are
also mainly recognized as an expense at the time of realization,
unless it is a question of developing new products or product ver-
sions with significant improvements. Such expenses are capitalized
in the balance sheet as intangible assets in accordance with the
requirements of IAS 38.
Other intangible assets
Other intangible assets include customer contracts and customer
relations, trademarks, software, and other capitalized expenditure.
Intangible assets are recognized in the statement of financial posi
-
tion when the criteria specified in IAS 38 are met.
Intangible assets with limited useful economic lives are initially
recognized at historical acquisition cost in the statement of financial
position and entered as an expense in the income statement during
their estimated useful economic lives using the straight-line method.
No amortization is recognized for intangible assets with indefinite
useful economic lives, but they are tested annually for impairment.
Dovre Group has not determined a definite useful economic life for
the trademark that relates to the merger between Dovre Group and
NPC in 2015.
The useful economic life of customer agreements and customer
relations is estimated at 10 years. The useful economic life of other
intangible assets is estimated at 2–5 years.
Leases
In accordance with IFRS 16 Leases, as a lessee, Dovre Group
recognizes an asset representing the right to use a leased asset,
presented as part of property, plant and equipment, and a lease
liability, representing unpaid future lease payments, presented as
part of financial liabilities. Exceptions are contracts of less than 12
months and those where the value of the leased asset as new is less
than USD 5,000.
In leases that are valid for an indefinite period and have a short
notice period, Dovre Group estimates the probable lease term for
each lease. Dovre Group does not include overheads and/or tele-
communications charges payable to the lessor in the calculation in
accordance with IFRS 16. When calculating lease liability and interest
expense, Dovre Group applies additional loan interest rates to all
leases that reflect company-specific factors, land and lease term.
Impairment of assets
Goodwill, intangible assets with indefinite useful economic lives, and
intangible assets not ready to use are annually tested for impair-
ment. In addition, assets and cash-generating units are regularly
tested for indications of possible impairment. Should any such indi-
cations arise, the recoverable amount of the asset or cash-gene-
rating unit is estimated. An impairment loss is recognized in the
income statement, if the carrying value of the asset or cash-gene-
rating unit exceeds its recoverable amount.
Employee benefits
Employee benefits expense
In addition to normal employee benefits expenses, the Group’s emp-
loyee benefits expense includes also expenses related to indepen-
dent contractors and subcontracted personnel if so due to legislation
reason who work for Dovre Group client companies. The Group acts
as a principal towards its clients and, depending on the situation,
the project personnel contracted to the client are either employees
of the Group, independent contractors, or subcontracted personnel.
Pension liabilities
The Group operates various pension plans in accordance with local
regulations and practices. In accordance with IAS 19, pension plans
are classified as either defined contribution or defined benefit plans.
The Group’s current pension plans are defined contribution plans,
and the payments made to the pension plans are recognized in the
income statement in the period to which the charge relates.
Share-based compensation
Dovre Group offers share-based incentive plans for its key emplo-
yees. From January 1, 2018, the Group had a share-based remune-
ration and incentive program, in which the remuneration was based

on an annually set performance condition and a service condition.
The performance obligation did not include a market condition, whe-
reupon the program did not include a fair value part. The vesting
condition for a service condition required that an employee was
employed by Dovre Group at the beginning of 2021. Two key emplo-
yees in the Group received share awards in March 2021. At year-end
2021, the company had no ongoing share-based incentive programs.
Dovre Group had one option loan that had three series. The
subscription period for the last 2013C series ended on February 28,
2020. No shares were subscribed for with the stock options during
the subscription period
Provisions
A provision is recognized when the Group has a legal or constructive
obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow
of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable
estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation The amount
recognized as provision corresponds to the best estimate of the
costs required to fulfill an existing obligation at the balance sheet
date.
Warranty provisions cover the estimated costs to repair or
replace products still under warranty on the balance sheet date.
Warranty provisions are calculated on the basis of historical experi-
ence of the levels of repairs and replacements.
A provision is recognized for unprofitable agreements if the
costs required to fulfill the obligations exceed the benefits available
from the agreement.
Income taxes and deferred taxes
The tax expense presented in the income statement comprises cur-
rent taxes based on taxable result for the financial year and deferred
taxes. Current income taxes are calculated from taxable result on
the basis of current tax legislation in the countries where the Group
operates and generates taxable income. Deferred taxes are deter
-
mined using tax rates effective at the end of the reporting period.
Deferred taxes are recognized for temporary differences arising
between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their tax
bases. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized in full in the statement
of financial position, and deferred tax assets only to the extent that
it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which
the temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred tax is not rec-
ognized for temporary differences that arise from goodwill that is
not deductible for tax purposes or for the undistributed earnings of
subsidiaries to the extent that the reversal of temporary differences
is not probable in the foreseeable future. Most significant temporary
differences arise from fair value measurements made in connection
with acquisitions.
Revenue recognition
The Group’s net sales consist of revenue from services, projects, and
sales and maintenance of licenses.
Revenue from sales is recognized in accordance with IFRS 15
Revenue from Contracts with Customers standard when a perfor-
mance obligation (product, service, or combination), is satisfied
Service sales are invoiced on an hourly or daily basis. In the case
of staffing personnel, performance obligation varies depending on
the individual assignment, which is performed continuously for the
duration of the assignment. Dovre Group is responsible for employee
performance but does not have overall responsibility for project
delivery. The services of Consulting business are provided as service
packages, but even these services are mainly invoiced on the basis of
the hours worked. The services of Consulting business also include
sales of support services, which are also recognized on a monthly
basis. The Group’s line of business is the recurring staffing of project
personnel, but, to some extent, the Group also seeks employees
for customers and receives recruitment fees. These are recognized
as income once the customer has accepted the candidate. Travel
expenses related to rendering services and charged to the client
are presented in sales of services.
With respect to projects, a project is a performance obligation
pursuant to IFRS 15. The revenue for projects is recognized over time
in accordance with the completion percentage. The selling price of a
product (work in progress) is recognized as a percentage of the price
of the finished product in accordance with the percentage of com-
pletion. For projects with a long production period, the percentage
of completion has been determined on the basis of factors indicating
the production phases of the project.
License revenue includes sales and leases of licenses as well
as lease as part of SaaS. Maintenance includes recurring mainte-
nance fee of licenses sold. Software license rental and maintenance
revenue is recognized on a monthly basis as a continuous service.
Most software licenses are sold as leases. License sale is recognized
at a point of time, if a client purchases a license. The sales will be
recognized upon the transfer of the license ownership to the buyer.
Dovre Group sales are hourly or daily service sales that only
include one performance obligation. Hence, allocation of transaction
price is not necessary. Consulting in Finland sells a combination of
service and software, but pricing is based on unit rates and individual
projects are not significant in terms of euros. Dovre Group does not
provide customer financing. Variable consideration in a contract is
also extremely rare and is evaluated on a project-by-project basis.
Other operating income
Other operating income includes proceeds from rental revenue,
gains on disposal of fixed and financial assets, and public funding.
Public funding is recognized when it is reasonably certain that the
terms related to funding are met and that the funding will be recei
-

Financial assets and liabilities
Financial assets
In accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, the Group’s finan-
cial assets are classified into the following groups: financial assets
at fair value through profit or loss and amortized cost.
Dovre Group’s ownership in SaraRasa Bioindo Pte. Ltd. has been
classified as fair value through profit and loss, as the investment is
not part of the Group’s core business. SaraRasa Bioindo Pte. Ltd. is
unquoted equity investment resulting to Level 3 category in the fair
value measurement according to IFRS 13 Fair value measurement
standard.
Fund investments have been classified as fair value through
profit and loss. In accordance with IFRS 13 Fair value measurement,
the fair value category is Level 1.
Loan receivables and receivables are recognized at amortized
cost. They are presented in the statement of financial position

as either current or non-current assets, with the latter including
assets with maturities greater than 12 months. The loss allowance
for trade receivables is measured using the simplified approach. The
loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to lifetime expected
credit losses with the basis of aging. Trade receivables in Dovre
Group are not significantly overdue.
Financial liabilities
In accordance with IFRS 9, financial liabilities are initially recognized
on the basis of the original consideration received, less transac-
tion costs, and subsequently measured at amortized cost using
the effective interest rate method. The Group’s financial liabilities
are non-current and current, and they can be interest-bearing or
non-interest-bearing. Interest expenses are recognized in the income
statement as incurred. Financial liabilities are recognized as current
unless the Group retains the right to reschedule the date of payment
to a date that is later than at least 12 months after the end of the
financial period.
Critical accounting estimates and judgments
The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires the
management to make estimates and assumptions concerning the
future that may differ from actual results. The management must
also use judgment when applying accounting principles. The estima-
tes are based on the management’s best knowledge and understan-
ding at the end of the reporting period.
The Group’s estimates and assumptions relate to the recognition
of revenue from long-term projects, valuation of assets, impairment
of trade receivables, and provisions.
The Group annually tests goodwill and intangible assets with
indefinite useful economic lives for impairment and monitors indi-
cations of impairment in accordance with the accounting principles
presented above. The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units
are determined using calculations that are based on value-in-use.
The preparation of these calculations requires the use of estimates
and assumptions.
Application of new and revised IFRS and interpretations
The Group applies new and revised standards and interpretations
as of the effective date of each standard or interpretation or, when
the effective date is other than the first day of the financial year,
as of the first day of the financial year following the effective date
of the standard.
The known changes in IFRS standards that will take effect in the
financial year 2022 or later are mainly
improvements or additions to existing standards, and Dovre
Group does not expect them to have a material impact on the con-
solidated financial statements.
3. SEGMENT INFORMATION

4. ACQUISITIONS
Acquisitions in 2021
Suvic Oy
On March 31, 2021, Dovre Group acquired a majority shareholding (51%) in the Finnish windmill park
construction and construction design company Suvic Oy. Suvic specializes in contracting for wind farms
and project management contracting in both wind power and industrial construction.
The debt-free and cash-free purchase price of the arrangement was approximately EUR 3.1 million, of
which EUR 2 million was paid in cash. In addition, a total of 3 million Dovre Group Plc shares were trans-
ferred to Suvic’s sellers, which will be issued by Dovre Group in a share issue to sellers. The subscription
price of approximately EUR 1.1 was fully recorded in Dovre Group’s invested unrestricted equity fund.
The costs of advisory and expert services related to the transaction, approximately EUR 51 thousand,
have been included in other operating expenses in the income statement. The costs related to the directed
share issue, approximately EUR 45 thousand, have been recorded in the invested unrestricted equity fund.
The effect of the acquired business since the acquisition date has been EUR 11.2 million on the
Group’s net sales and EUR -0.1 million on the result for the financial year. If the acquisition had taken
place on 1 January 2021, the effect on the Group’s net sales would have been EUR 13.9 million and on
the result EUR -0.5 million.
The balance sheet values of trade receivables and payables of the acquired business correspond to
their fair values.

13. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Undiluted earnings per share
Undiluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the result attributable to the shareholders of the
parent by the weighted average number of shares during the financial year.
Diluted earnings per share
The potential increase in the number of shares caused by all instruments entitling to shares is taken
into account when calculating the diluted earnings per share. The Group has instruments, share options,
with the potential to increase the number of shares. An instrument has a dilutive effect when its sub-
scription price is lower than the market value of the share. The weighted average number of shares and
the dilutive effect are calculated quarterly taking into account those instruments that have an exercise
price lower than the weighted average share price during that quarter. The dilutive effect is relative to
the difference between the exercise price and the weighted average share price. The total dilutive effect
for the financial year or several quarters is calculated as a weighted average for the period in question.
The Group did not have any dilutive instruments at the end of the financial year or the previous financial
year, so basic and diluted earnings per share are the same.

The increase of goodwill in 2021 is related to the acquisition of Suvic Oy. See Note 4 for more information.
Dovre Group’s goodwill is divided into cash-generating units as follows:
GOODWILL BY CASH GENERATING UNIT
EUR THOUSAND 2021 2020
Project Personnel 16,610 15,668
Consulting 1,023 723
Renewable Energy 3,265 0
Tota l 20,898 16,390
Impairment testing has been performed at the year-end, with December 31, 2021 as the testing date. For
Project Personnel, in addition to goodwill, we test also the NPC trademark, which has an indefinite useful
life. The carrying amount of the trademark at December 31, 2021 was approximately EUR 1.3 million (EUR
1.3 million on December 31, 2020).
In testing, the carrying amount of a cash-generating unit is compared with its value in use, which is
based on a calculation of its value in use. These calculations are based on management-approved plans
covering a five-year period. The key variables used in the calculation are revenue growth and operating
margin. The variables are based on past performance, the business group’s market position and growth
potential in the business group’s market. The discount rate is determined using a capital structure based
on peer group balance sheets and financial statements to which IAS 17 Leases applies.
Based on testing, the recoverable amounts of all cash-generating units exceeded their carrying
amounts and, therefore, no indications of impairment exist.

26. FINANCIAL RISK AND CAPITAL STRUCTURE
MANAGEMENT
Financial Risk Management
In its operations, Dovre Group is exposed to common financial risks, most
importantly foreign exchange risk. The purpose of financial risk management is
to ensure that the Group has access to sufficient and cost-effective funding in
all market situations and to monitor and minimize any potential risks. Financial
risks are managed centrally by the Group’s parent company’s finance function,
which is responsible for the Group’s financing. Financial risk management is
part of the Group’s operational management.
Foreign exchange risks
The Group operates internationally and is thus exposed to a variety of foreign
exchange risks. Such risks arise from exchange rate fluctuations relating to
foreign currency denominated assets, liabilities, and planned business trans
-
actions (transaction risk) and from investments in foreign subsidiaries and
associates (translation risk). The Group manages its foreign exchange risks in
accordance with the Group’s currency hedging policy, approved by the Board
of Directors in 2014. The purpose of the policy is to minimize the company’s
subsidiaries’ foreign exchange risks and to centrally hedge the Group’s foreign
exchange risks at the parent company, when necessary. The company does
not automatically hedge its foreign currency positions. However, should it be
deemed necessary for risk management and be in the best interest of the com-
pany’s shareholders, the company’s Board of Directors may pursue prudent and
selective hedging. Operatively, the company seeks to avoid any unnecessary
increase in foreign exchange risks and any unnecessary currency transactions.
Foreign exchange risk management is a regular part of the Boards’ charter.
Transaction risks
Majority of the Group’s operations is local service business and is denominated
in local functional currencies. It does not therefore involve transaction risks.
The Group’s internal invoicing and loans are primarily initiated in the local
currencies of the subsidiaries and any possible foreign exchange risks are
hedged using foreign currency derivatives at the parent company.
The foreign exchange risk sensitivity analysis for the most important cur
-
rency pairs, disclosed in accordance with IFRS 7, has been calculated for the
Group’s foreign currency nominated financial assets and liabilities including
foreign currency derivatives outstanding on the balance sheet date. The expo-
sures in the most important currency pairs are disclosed in the table below.

The foreign exchange risk sensitivity analysis illustrates the impact of a 20% movement in exchange rates and has been
calculated before taxes. An estimated 20% movement in the foreign exchange rates on the balance sheet date would have
resulted in an impact of EUR 0.2 (0.3) million on the Group’s result before taxes with the exchange rates strengthening and
EUR -0.2 (-0.3) million with the exchange rates weakening.

Customer credit risk
A substantive part of the Group’s receivables are from a small number of customers. However, the Group
does not consider there to be any significant concentrations of customer credit risk because these
customers are large and financially solid companies. Customers’ creditworthiness is secured through
credit checks. Trade receivables are monitored centrally by Group functions. The Group does not provide
customer financing.
Ageing structure of the Group’s receivables and impairment losses recognized during the financial
year are presented in Note 19 Trade and Other Receivables.
Capital Structure Management
The purpose of the Group’s capital structure management is to ensure the Group’s liquidity in all mar-
ket situations, to secure funding for the Group’s strategic investments, and to maintain the Group’s
shareholder value. Capital structure management comprises the management of the Group’s solidity
and liquidity. The Group’s capital structure is monitored by using the debt to equity ratio (gearing). The
debt-equity ratio is calculated by dividing total net liabilities by total assets. Net liabilities include inter
-
est-bearing liabilities less cash and cash equivalents.
EUR MILLION 2021 2020
Interest-bearing liabilities 8.5 6.1
Cash and cash equivalents 9.5 8.5
Net debt -1.0 2.4
Shareholders’ equity 28.4 23.9
Gearing -3.7% -10.1%
Translation risk
Changes in consolidation exchange rates affect the Group’s income statement, cash flow statement, and
the statement of financial position, which are presented in euros, thus giving rise to translation risk. As
the majority of the Group’s net sales occur in functional currencies other than the euro, the translation
risk related to the Group’s net sales and operating result is material to the Group. During 2021, the risk
has been reduced by the acquisition of Suvic Oy. Suvic’s net sales are denominated in euros. In 2021,
the Group’s comparable net sales changed by +84.2 (-6.8) % in euros. In local currencies the change in
net sales would have been +83.3 (+8.9) %.
The impact of a 10% movement in average annual exchange rates of the Group’s main currencies
on the Group’s net sales is presented in the table below.

In 2021, the translation differences arising from the translation of the Group’s subsidiaries’ balance sheets
into euros was EUR -1.9 (-4.3) million. All of the Group’s key currencies strengthened in 2021. The biggest
impact was the strengthening of the Norwegian krone.
Interest rate risk
The Group’s interest rate risk arises from non-current loans totaling EUR 1.3 (0.8) million on December
31, 2021. The Group has not hedged interest rate risk..
Liquidity risk
The purpose of liquidity risk management is to ensure that the Group has access to sufficient liquid
assets and credit facilities in order to guarantee sufficient funding of the Group’s business operations.
The Group’s liquidity is controlled through cash and liquidity management. The Group’s liquidity remained
strong in 2021.
On December 31, 2021, the Group’s cash and cash equivalents were EUR 9.5 (8.5) million. In addition,
the parent company and subsidiaries have unused credit limit.

NOTES TO DOVRE GROUP PLC’S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, FAS
1. ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
The financial statements of the parent company Dovre Group Plc have been prepared in accordance with
Finnish accounting and corporate legislation.
Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are recorded at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of transaction.
At the end of the financial period, foreign currency nominated assets and liabilities are translated at the
rate of exchange prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Foreign exchange gains and losses are
presented under financing income and expense in the income statement.
Revenue recognition
Revenue from services is recognized upon delivery to the client. All service related travel and other
expenses that have been invoiced from the client are included in revenue from services. Revenue from
licenses is recognized upon the granting of user rights when all the main risks and rewards of license
ownership have been transferred to the buyer. Revenue from maintenance is allocated to the contract
period. Net sales includes royalty fee charged from Group companies for intangible marketing property
and for using the Dovre Group trademark. Royalties are recognized on an accrual basis and in accordance
with the respective licensing agreement.
Pensions
The parent company’s pension schemes are funded through payments to an insurance company. Statu-
tory pension expenses are recognized as expense in the year they are incurred.
Fixed assets
Fixed assets are stated at acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation
and amortization are recorded on a straight-line basis over the expected economic useful lives of the
assets as follows:
Intangible assets (software) 2–3 years
Intangible assets (trademarks) 5 years
Other capitalized expenditure 3–5 years
Goodwill 5–10 years
Machinery and equipment 3–5 years
In accordance with section 5: 9 of the APA, EUR 300,000 arising from the business transaction on 31
August 2021 was capitalized as goodwill. Goodwill is based on the expected return on the acquired eSite
business. Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over 5 years. The book value of goodwill at the
end of the financial year was 280,000.
Derivative instruments
The company hedges, when appropriate, receivables and liabilities denominated in foreign currency with
different currency forward and option contracts. Derivatives are recognized in the balance sheet under
other receivables or payables at fair value on the date of trade. Outstanding derivatives are remeasured
at their fair value at the end of each reporting period and the resulting gain or loss is immediately recog-

7. AUDITOR’S REPORT (Translation of the Finnish original)
To the Annual General Meeting of Dovre Group Plc
REPORT ON THE AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Dovre Group Plc (busi-
ness identity code 0545139-6) for the year ended 31 December,
2021. The financial statements comprise the consolidated balance
sheet, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes
in equity, statement of cash flows and notes, including a summary
of significant accounting policies, as well as the parent company’s
balance sheet, income statement, statement of cash flows and notes.
In our opinion
• the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view
of the group’s financial performance and financial position in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRS) as adopted by the EU
• the financial statements give a true and fair view of the
parent company’s financial performance and financial position
in accordance with the laws and regulations governing the
preparation of financial statements in Finland and comply with
statutory requirements.
Our opinion is consistent with the additional report submitted to
the Board of Directors.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with good auditing practice in
Finland. Our responsibilities under good auditing practice are further
described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Financial
Statements section of our report.
We are independent of the parent company and of the group
companies in accordance with the ethical requirements that are
applicable in Finland and are relevant to our audit, and we have
fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these
requirements.
In our best knowledge and understanding, the non-audit services
that we have provided to the parent company and group companies
are in compliance with laws and regulations applicable in Finland
regarding these services, and we have not provided any prohib-
ited non-audit services referred to in Article 5(1) of regulation (EU)
537/2014. The non-audit services that we have provided have been
disclosed in note 9 to the consolidated financial statements and in
note 7 to the parent company’s financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judg-
ment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial state-
ments 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.
We have also addressed the risk of management override of
internal controls. This includes consideration of whether there was
evidence of management bias that represented a risk of material
misstatement due to fraud.

Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed the Key Audit Matter
Valuation of Goodwill
We refer to the to the Group’s accounting policies and the note 15
• The value of goodwill in the consolidated balance sheet amounted to EUR 20.9 million
representing 30% of the total assets and 72% of net assets (2020: EUR 16.4 million representing
37% of the total assets and 69% net assets).
• Goodwill is not amortized but is tested annually for impairment. An impairment loss is
recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount.
• Determination of the key assumptions in future cash flow forecasts underlying the impairment
tests requires management make judgements over certain key inputs, for example discount rate,
growth rates and profitability levels.
• The impairment test of goodwill is based on both market and financial assumptions.
• We assessed the allocation basis, i.e. the allocation of goodwill to the tested cash-generating
units complies with the allocation principles defined by the company.
• We have obtained an understanding of the management’s process for evaluating the impairment
of goodwill and reviewed assumptions supporting forecasted cash flows, comparison of prior
year forecasts to actuals and the components of the cost of capital.
• We compared realized earnings figures for the fiscal year with earnings forecasts used in the
impairment model in the prior year to determine whether the forecasts included assumptions
that had been optimistic in retrospect.
• We involved our own valuation specialist when assessing the assumptions used in determining
the discount rate to market and industry information.
• We considered the accuracy of sensitivity analysis, assessing the likelihood of changes in the
assumptions that require management judgement.
• Furthermore, we considered the appropriateness of the notes in respect of impairment testing.
Revenue Recognition
We refer to the Group’s accounting policies and the note 5
• The sales of the Group consist of revenue from the sale of services, licenses as well as licenses
maintenance. In addition, the group has significant long-term projects. These long-term
customer relationships are often complex customized solutions and meet the definition of a
performance obligation to be fulfilled over time, according to IFRS 15.
• Revenue from services sold, products or their combination is recognized when the services have
been rendered. 65% of the Dovre Group’s turnover consists of service sales based on hours or
days done.
• The revenue for long-term projects is recognized in accordance with the degree of completion
of the performance obligation (project’s degree of completion). The sales price of performance
pertaining to long-term project is entered as a proportion of the price of the finished product in
accordance with the degree of the performance. The revenue recognition of long-term contracts
includes estimates based on management’s judgement related to earlier experience and
expectations regarding future events. The most significant judgement relates to the projected
total cost of the project. 35% of the Dovre Group’s turnover consists of long-term projects.
• Revenue recognition is a key performance measure used by the Group and due to the risk
relating to incorrect timing of recognition of revenue a significant risk of material misstatement
referred to in EU Regulation No 537/241, point (c) of Article 10(2).
• We reviewed that, considering the terms of the contract, the applicable revenue recognition
methodology is appropriate
• We determined the profit forecast to the sales contract, considering any changes made to the
contract
• We have reviewed revenue recognition policies to verify its accordance to IFRS
• We have verified the design and implementation of key controls related to revenue recognition
and performed analytical procedures and detailed transaction testing
• We have tested the sales cut-off on a transaction level before and after the balance sheet date
• Audit of the disclosures related to revenues.

Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and the
Managing Director for the Financial Statements
The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible
for the preparation of consolidated financial statements that give
a true and fair view in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU, and of financial
statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the laws
and regulations governing the preparation of financial statements
in Finland and comply with statutory requirements. The Board
of Directors and the Managing Director are also responsible for
such internal control as they determine 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, the Board of Directors
and the Managing Director are responsible for assessing the parent
company’s and the group’s ability to continue as going concern, dis
-
closing, as applicable, matters relating to going concern and using
the going concern basis of accounting. The financial statements are
prepared using the going concern basis of accounting unless there is
an intention to liquidate the parent company or the group or cease
operations, or there is no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities in the
Audit of Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance on whether the
financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report
that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level
of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with good auditing practice will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or
error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate,
they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with good auditing practice, we
exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism
throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the
financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design
and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and
obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a
material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than
for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion,
forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the
override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the
audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate
in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the parent company’s or the
group’s internal control.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used
and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related
disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors’
and the Managing Director’s use of the going concern basis
of accounting and based on the audit evidence obtained,
whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the parent
company’s or the group’s ability to continue as a going
concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists,
we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report
to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if
such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our
conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to
the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or
conditions may cause the company to cease to continue as a
going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content
of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and
whether the financial statements represent the underlying
transactions and events so that the financial statements give
a true and fair view.
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the
financial information of the entities or business activities
within the group to express an opinion on the consolidated
financial statements. We are responsible for the direction,
supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain
solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding,
among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit
and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies
in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a state-
ment that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements
regarding independence, and communicate with them all relation-
ships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on
our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with gov
-
ernance, we determine those matters that were of most significance
in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and
are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in
our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public dis
-
closure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances,
we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our
report because the adverse consequences of doing so would rea-
sonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such
communication.
OTHER REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
Information on our audit engagement
We were first appointed as auditors by the Annual General Meeting
on 28.3.2018, and our appointment represents a total period of
uninterrupted engagement of three years.
Other information
The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible
for the other information. The other information comprises the
report of the Board of Directors and the information included in the
Annual Report but does not include the financial statements and
our 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 identified above
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is mate-
rially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge
obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially mis-
stated. With respect to report of the Board of Directors, our respon-
sibility also includes considering whether the report of the Board
of Directors has been prepared in accordance with the applicable
laws and regulations.
In our opinion, the information in the report of the Board of
Directors is consistent with the information in the financial state-
ments and the report of the Board of Directors has been prepared
in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there
is a material misstatement of the other information, we are required
to report this fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

the election. The company’s Articles of Association do not specify
an upper age limit for, or the maximum number of terms of office,
of a Board member, and place no other restrictions on the authority
of the General Meeting to elect members to the Board. The Board
selects a Chairman and a Vice Chairman from among its members,
and the Board is deemed to have a quorum present when more than
half of its members are present.
The company considers diverse composition of the Board as an
important asset. In selecting candidates to the Board, the company
pays attention, amongst other things, to the candidates’ diverse and
mutually complementary background, experience, and expertise,
especially in international business. The company also aims to have,
where possible, representatives of both genders on the Board.
The Board convenes normally once a month according to a pre-
agreed schedule, and may hold additional meetings, if necessary.
Minutes are kept for all meetings. In addition to matters requiring
Board decision, the Board, in its meetings, is provided with up-to-
date information on the Group’s operations, financial situation, and
risks.
Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
The Board of Directors appoints the CEO. The CEO is responsible
for the day-to-day management of the Group’s business operations
and governance in accordance with the Articles of Association, the
Finnish Limited Liability Companies Act, and the instructions issued
by the Board. The CEO is assisted by the Group Executive Team.
Group Executive Team
The Group Executive Team is appointed by the Board of Directors.
The Group Executive Team assists the CEO in the operative man
-
agement of the Group, prepares items for the Board and the CEO,
and plans and monitors the operations of the Group’s business units.
The Group Executive Team convenes at least once a month. The CEO
acts as the Chairman of the Group Executive Team.
INTERNAL AUDIT
The Group has no separate internal audit organization. The estab-
lishment of an internal audit organization has not been deemed
necessary due to the size of the company. The Group’s Executive
Team assesses and ensures the sufficiency and effectiveness of the
Group’s internal control, as well as supports the Board with its mon-
itoring responsibility.
EXTERNAL AUDIT
According to the Articles of Association, Dovre Group shall have one
auditor who shall be an audit firm. The term of the auditor expires at
the end of the first Annual General Meeting following their selection.
The Board’s proposal for the auditor is disclosed in the notice of the
General Meeting.
The primary purpose of an audit is to verify that the financial
statements give accurate and adequate information concerning
the Group’s result and financial position for the financial period. In
addition, the auditors shall report to the Board of Directors on the
ongoing auditing of administration and operations.
INTERNAL CONTROL AND RISK MANAGEMENT
SYSTEMS PERTAINING TO FINANCIAL REPORTING
The purpose of the Group’s internal control is to support the imple-
mentation of the Group’s strategy and to ensure that the Group
complies with all relevant rules and regulations. The Group’s inter-
nal control framework is based on the Dovre Group Authorization
Matrix, which specifies the authority and the responsibilities of the
Group’s management. The Authorization Matrix is approved by
the Board of Directors, which also acts as the highest supervisory
body of the Group’s internal control. The implementation of internal
control measures is supervised primarily by the CEO and CFO, who
report to the Board.
The ultimate responsibility for accounting and financial admin
-
istration lies with Dovre Group’s Board of Directors. The Board is
responsible for internal control, and the CEO is responsible for
the day-to-day organization and monitoring of the control system.
The steering and monitoring of business operations is based on
the reporting and business planning system that covers the entire
Group. The CEO and CFO report monthly to the Board and the Group
Executive Team on the Group’s financial situation and development.
The purpose of financial reporting is to ensure that all assets
and liabilities in the financial statements belong to the company; that
all rights and liabilities of the company are presented in the finan-
cial statements; that items in the financial statements have been
classified, disclosed, and described correctly; that assets, liabilities,
income, and expenditure are entered in the financial statements
at the correct amounts; that all transactions during the reporting
period are included in the accounts; that transactions entered in
the accounts are factual transactions; and that assets have been
secured.
RISK MANAGEMENT AND RISK ASSESSMENT
The Group’s risk management is guided by legal requirements,
business requirements set by shareholders of the company, and
the expectations of customers, personnel, and other important
stakeholders. The goal of risk management is to acknowledge and
identify systematically and comprehensibly any risks relating to the
company’s operations and to make sure that all such risks are appro-
priately accounted for when making business decisions.
The Group’s risk management procedures support the achieve
-
ment of the Group’s strategic goals and seeks to ensure the con-
tinuity of the Group’s business operations. The Group takes risks
that are a natural part of its strategy and objectives. The Group is
not ready to take risks that might endanger the continuity of its
operations or be uncontrollable or that may significantly harm the
Group’s operations.
In accordance with the Group’s risk management procedures,
the Board of Directors receives an annual report of the most signif-
icant risks facing the Group. The Board analyses the risks from the
point of view of shareholder value.
The company’s risk management process includes an annual
identification and analysis of risks pertaining to financial report-
ing. In addition, the company seeks to analyse and report all new
risks immediately as soon as they have been identified. Taking into
account the extent of the Group’s business operations, the most
significant risks pertaining to the reliability of financial reporting
relate to revenue recognition, impairment testing (including good-
will), and tax reporting.
CONTROL FUNCTIONS
The correctness and reliability of financial reporting are ensured
through compliance with Group policies and guidelines. Control
functions that ensure the correctness of financial reporting include
controls related to accounting transactions, to the selection of and

compliance with the Group’s accounting principles, to information
systems, and to fraud or malpractice.
Revenue recognition is supervised by the Group’s CFO and is
based on the required sale and delivery documents.
The Group’s bad debt provision is reviewed monthly. Any even
-
tual bad debt provisions are based on the aging of trade receivables
per sales company.
The Group’s goodwill is tested for impairment at the end of each
financial year on the balance sheet date. Key variables used in the
calculations are net sales growth and the estimated change of profit
margin. In addition, indications of impairment are monitored regu-
larly. If indications of impairment are detected, a separate testing
is performed.
The performance of business operations and the attainment
of annual goals is assessed monthly in Group Executive Team and
Board meetings. Monthly management and Board reporting includes
both the actual and the estimated results compared to the budget
and the actual results of previous periods. Financial reports gen-
erated for the management are used for monitoring certain key
indicators associated with the development of sales, profitability,
and trade receivables on a monthly basis.
In accordance with its strategy, Dovre Group may complement
its organic growth with acquisitions. In making acquisitions, the
Group follows due diligence and utilizes its internal competence
together with external advisors in the planning phase (e.g. due dil-
igence), takeover phase, and when integrating acquired functions
into the Group’s operations.
INTERNAL COMMUNICATION AND
SHARING OF INFORMATION
The purpose of management reporting is to produce up-to-date,
relevant information for decision-making. The CFO provides the
Group’s business units with monthly reporting guidelines and is in
charge of any special reporting instructions related to budgeting
and forecasting. The Group’s financial administration distributes, on
a regular basis, internal information on processes and procedures
pertaining to financial reporting. Internal control tasks are carried
out in accordance with this information. Financial administration
also arranges targeted training for the organization’s personnel on
the procedures associated with financial reporting and changes in
them, if necessary. The Group’s investor relations maintain, in coop
-
eration with the Group’s financial administration, the guidelines on
the disclosure of financial information, including, for example, the
disclosure obligations of a publicly listed company.
MONITORING
Monitoring refers to the process of assessing Dovre Group’s internal
control system and its performance in the long term. The Group
continuously monitors its operations also through various separate
assessments, such as internal and external audits, and supplier
audits carried out by clients. The Group’s management monitors
internal control as part of its day-to-day work. The Group Executive
Team is responsible for ensuring that all operations comply with
applicable laws and regulations. The Group’s financial administration
monitors compliance with the financial reporting processes. The
financial administration also monitors the correctness of external
and internal financial reporting. The Board of Directors assesses
and ensures the appropriateness and effectiveness of the Group’s
internal control and risk management.
The Group’s internal control is also assessed by the Group’s
external auditor. The auditor verifies the correctness of external
annual financial reporting. The most significant observations and
recommendations of the audit are reported to the Board of Direc-
tors.
INSIDER ADMINISTRATION AND
TRADING RESTRICTIONS
With regards the company’s insider guidelines, Dovre Group com-
plies with the applicable legislation, the standards of the Finnish
Financial Supervisory Authority as well as Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd.’s
Guidelines for Insiders effective as of July 3, 2016. In accordance
with the legislation in force and the standards and guidelines in ques-
tion, inside information refers to all information of a precise nature,
which has not been made public and relates, directly or indirectly,
to one or more issuers or to one or more financial instruments and
which, if made public, would be likely to have a significant effect on
the prices of those financial instruments or on the price of related
derivative financial instruments. Dovre Group discloses any possi
-
ble inside information concerning the company as soon as possible
and as a stock exchange release. However, the company may, on its
own responsibility and on a case-by-case basis, delay disclosure of
inside information to the public in accordance with the conditions
outlined in the Market Abuse Regulation ((EU) No 596/2014). Should
the company decide to delay disclosure, the company documents
and continuously monitors the preconditions of delayed disclosure.
The company notifies the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority of
the delayed disclosure immediately after the information has been
publicly disclosed.
Dovre Group does not maintain a list of permanent insiders, but
establishes project-specific insider lists following the identification
of a specific issue as inside information by the company’s Board of
Directors and the Board’s decision to establish an insider list relating
to the identified issue. The CFO is responsible for administration of
the company’s insider registers and project-specific insider lists are
maintained by the company.
The company has defined the Board of Directors, the CEO
and the Group Executive Team as persons discharging managerial
responsibilities. The company maintains a list of persons discharging
managerial responsibilities and their closely associated persons. In
accordance with current legislation, persons discharging managerial
responsibilities in Dovre Group as well as their closely associated
persons are obliged to notify the company and the FSA of every
transaction in the company’s financial instruments. The notification
obligation applies to all transactions once a total amount of EUR
5,000 has been reached within a calendar year. Dovre Group will
disclose all such transaction notifications as stock exchange releases
within three (3) business days of the date of transaction.
Persons discharging managerial responsibilities in the company
may not trade in any financial instruments in the company during a
closed period of 30 calendar days before the announcement of the
company’s half year financial report, annual financial statements,
or Q1 and Q3 trading statements. In addition to persons discharging
managerial responsibilities in the company, the trading restriction
applies to the company’s employees participating in the preparation,
drawing-up, and disclosure of the company’s financial reports.

-
ments (ESEF financial statements) that comply with the require-
ments of ESEF RTS. This responsibility includes:

• marking up the consolidated financial statements included in
the ESEF financial statements with iXBRL tags in accordance
with Article 4 of the ESEF RTS; and
• ensuring consistency between ESEF financial statements and

We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical
requirements applicable in Finland, which apply to the engagement
we have performed, and we have fulfilled our other ethical obliga
-
tions in accordance with these requirements. The auditor applies

tains a comprehensive system of quality control including docu-
mented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical

-
ulatory requirements.

with iXBRL tags in accordance with Article 4 of the ESEF RTS,
and;
• the ESEF financial statements and the audited financial state
-
ments are consistent with each other.
The nature, timing and the extent of procedures selected depend on

RTS, whether due to fraud or error. We believe that the evidence
we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our opinion
