LOWER TAX RATES BOOSTED
GROWTH IN NORWAY
Growth in Project Personnel was supported by
increased demand for our services, particularly in
Norway, where the introduction of a more favour
-
able tax regime for oil and gas investments has
resulted in several new investment decision projects
being brought forward to the end of 2022, the target
line for the tax cuts.
In May, Dovre Group and its partners Engineer
-
ing Consultants Norway and Future Technology
signed a framework agreement with Aibel AS in
Norway. The scope of work is consulting services
and includes temporary personnel hired in the areas
of project and multidisciplines, construction, com-
missioning, supply chain, business, ICT and admin-
istration.

CONSULTING
Dovre Group’s Consulting business area provides
consulting services for the effective development
and execution of large-scale projects. We operate
in the Nordic countries, with offices in Finland and
Norway.
REAL VALUE CREATION GENERATES
GROWTH AND PROFITABILITY
Large projects typically require several years of con
-
cept development and planning before execution
and involve substantial capital investment.
Many of our clients maintain project or procure-
ment portfolios that include multiple projects of
varying sizes and at different stages. Others have
only one major project underway, but it is often sig-
nificant compared to the client’s other investments
or business costs.
To be successful in the consulting business, we
must be able to continually provide our clients with
the services they value. We focus on building long-
term customer relationships based on framework
agreements and hands-on consulting.
In 2021, Dovre Group acquired eSite, an indus
-
trial reality capture company, to strengthen its
service offering. eSite specialises in the 3D visual-
isation of industrial sites and operating facilities to
improve project execution and operating facility
performance.
The strong growth in Consulting in Finland was
due to the acquisition of eSite.
KEY FIGURES OF CONSULTING
• Net sales increased by 12.5 (11.0) percent to
EUR 18.2 (16.1) million
• Operating profit increased to EUR 2.5 (2.3)

CEO’S REVIEW
CEO’S REVIEW 2022
The transformation of energy markets increased
our sales and profitability in all business areas in
2022. The long-term growth potential for green
energy is significant, and the renewable energy
sector will be our driver and help us grow in the
future.
The year 2022 was successful for Dovre Group. Our net sales
were higher than ever at EUR 203 million. All our three busi
-
ness areas were able to increase their net sales, and at the
same time, improve profitability. The biggest share of our top-
line growth came from the Renewable Energy business area,
which consists of Suvic Oy’s business acquired in March 2021.
The increase in sales was achieved by organic growth in all
three business areas. Renewable Energy increased its net sales
by 87%, Project Personnel by 19%, and Consulting by 12.5%.
I am pleased to report that organic growth was generated
from existing and new clients. For example, Project Personnel
in Norway cooperated with our partners to secure a new frame
agreement with Aibel AS, a leading service company operating
in the oil, gas, and offshore wind industries. In addition, several
existing Project Personnel and Consulting clients used their
options to extend agreements in 2022.
In addition to Norway, we also saw strong growth in Con
-
sulting Finland. eSite, an industrial reality capture business
specialising in digitalisation and 3D modelling of operating
plants, was acquired in 2021 to strengthen our service offering,
and has played an important role in this growth as planned.
By geographical market area, our sales also increased signif
-
icantly in the Americas.
In Singapore, we had a busy start with the completion of
the Johan Castberg floating production project during the
first quarter. This was the largest project we have worked on
in the region.
Also, our unit in North America completed one of its largest
assignments, the Nalcors Lower Churchill project, part of Can
-
ada’s largest hydropower system. We also have participated
in a renewable project with the conversion of a petroleum
refinery to a renewable diesel and aviation fuel in Newfound-
land, Canada.
One of the highlights of the year 2022 was Suvic winning
the tender for the Viiatti windmill park project, one of the larg-
est in Finland with a total of 57 turbines. During 2022, Suvic
was involved in building ten different windmill parks in Finland.
STABLE PROFITABILITY
Following our strategy, we have expanded our services in the
energy sector, and our plans to diversify our offering to new
clients and industries, such as transportation, construction,
ICT, defence, and healthcare are in progress.

Despite strong growth, we were also able to maintain our
good level of profitability. The operating profit margin stood
at 4.2%.
Our headcount at the end of the year was 728, which is 128
less than a year ago. The majority of our personnel is employed
by the Project Personnel segment, and the reduction is due
to a major project being completed in Singapore in the first
quarter of the year.
ENERGY CRISES IMPACT IN TWO WAYS
The end of the COVID-19 pandemic and the lifting of travelling
restriction in particular had a positive impact on our business,
as well as the on-going energy crises in Europe.
As a result of the energy crises, demand has grown in all of
our business segments. The growth in our Project Personnel
and Consulting business has been supported by increased
demand for our services, especially in Norway, where the
implementation of a more favourable tax system for oil and
gas investments. This has resulted in several new projects
being brought forward for investment decisions by the end of
2022, the finishing line for the tax reductions. This has had a
positive impact, especially on our Project Personnel consulting
business in Norway.
Secondly, the energy transition has increased in all our
markets during the year. The need to replace fossil fuel-based
energy production and become less dependent on imported
fuel are driving the growth of all our business areas, especially
in our Renewal Energy segment.
We see promising synergies between our Renewable
Energy and our other businesses, as we have worked with our
energy clients for 40 years and supported them in their tran
-
sition to renewable energy on various green energy projects.
A SHIFT TOWARDS GREEN
ENERGY CONTINUES
In the short term, our operating environment continues to
possess concerns, such as the current geopolitical situation,
high inflation, and high oil prices. After very high post-pan
-
demic growth in both revenue and operating profit in 2022,
we expect the 2023 growth numbers to return to more normal
levels. Accordingly, our guidance for 2023 is: Net sales are
expected to improve from 2022 and the operating profit (EBIT)
is expected to be about the same as in 2022.
In the mid to long-term, the growing energy demand is
forcing governments and the private sector to seek new ener-
gy-efficient solutions, which we believe will support the growth
of all our business areas. In the coming year, we will continue
executing our strategy for profitable growth with a strong
focus on energy transition and renewable energy.
The good development in our operations in 2022 couldn’t
have been achieved without our consultants’ ability to meet
and exceed our clients’ expectations. For this, I warmly thank
all our employees. I also thank our customers, shareholders,
and other stakeholders for their valuable support.

Dovre Group’s mission is to support an
environmentally sustainable and socially
responsible future by providing high quality
expertise to major investment projects in the
private and public sectors.
The need to replace fossil fuel-based power
generation is driving growth in all our busi-
nesses.
OUR BUSINESS IS BASED
ON TRUST AND LOYALTY
Dovre Group provides consulting services, project manage-
ment solutions and professional project personnel. The exten
-
sive expertise of our personnel and their ability to advise,
develop and manage client projects are at the core of Dovre
Group’s business model, enabling its growth and development.
To successfully create value for our customers, we must
first ensure that the best experts in our field continue to be
available to us as consultants and then ensure that our cus
-
tomers have access to the right people at the right time.
The projects we focus on are mainly in the areas of energy,
transport, buildings and infrastructure, construction, ICT, min-
ing, pulp and paper, defence and healthcare.
Our clients are leading private and public organisations,
and the projects we are involved in tend to be long-term and
complex. Due to the nature of our business, trust is a key
element in our business.
The long-term financial success of the Dovre Group
depends – in addition to the ability of our employees to provide
valuable advice to clients over time – on long-term client and
employee relationships based on trust and loyalty.
OUR STRATEGY AIMS FOR
PROFITABLE GROWTH
We aim to achieve profitable growth by increasing sales and
margins in our existing businesses.
Our value creation is based primarily on the diversity of
our business, the expertise of our consultants, the cultivation
of our long-term customer relationships and the limitation of
our operating costs.
Dovre Group’s businesses have ambitious strategies aimed
at delivering world-class project execution and customer
experience, sustainable growth, and solid financial perfor-
mance for the Group.
In the medium to long term, rising energy demand is forc-
ing governments and the private sector to look for new ener-
gy-efficient solutions that we believe will support the growth
of all our businesses. In the coming year, we will continue to
implement our strategy for profitable growth with a strong
focus on the energy transition and renewable energies.
BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT AND
COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES
Through years of experience in project consulting, we have
a deep understanding of our clients and our operating envi
-
ronment. The market is highly competitive in attracting new
clients and projects and in finding new talented consultants.
In consulting, we compete mainly with local companies
specialising in project management in Finland and Norway,
while our competitors in project personnel range from large
global companies to smaller local firms. In the renewable
DOVRE GROUP AS AN INVESTMENT
energy sector in Finland, we compete with both local and inter-
national companies.
Increasing competition is putting pressure on margins, while
at the same time customer needs are evolving rapidly in line
with global megatrends such as sustainability, digitalization,
and increasing regulation.
Area-specific differences in local economies and business
cycles in our focus sectors may vary, requiring close market
monitoring. On the other hand, the impact of country-, area-,
and sector-specific risks is mitigated by the scale and diversity
of our businesses and customers.

capture and storage, health, defence, pulp and paper, and energy sectors. It provides strategic
and operational expertise in project management and procurement, ranging from business
definition to execution and across technical, commercial, and legal disciplines. The unit also
provides project management software and industrial VR solutions.
The Group’s Renewable Energy business consists of the operations of Dovre’s 51%-owned
subsidiary Suvic Oy. Suvic Oy is a development company specialising in the construction of
energy solutions, in particular wind farm projects and project management. It also offers con
-
tracting for the energy and industrial construction sector, and services including consulting,
engineering, and budgeting of development projects.
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 demonstrates to 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 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, 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 since
the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, and 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 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
400 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 as early as 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. The 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.
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 have access to a wide range of client data. The
company 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 management.
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 etc. In addition, consultants
have the opportunity to influence working hours and working assignments.
In 2022, the Group had on average 779 (796) employees, of which 642 (685) worked in
the Project Personnel business, 98 (88) worked in Consulting business, and 38 (22) worked
in Renewable Energy business. In the Project Personnel business, 92 (92) % of the employees
were on temporary employment agreements, working as a freelancer or as subcontracted
personnel, and 8 (8) % were permanent employees. In the Consulting business, 43 (45) % were
permanent employees and 57 (55) % worked as temporary or freelancers/subcontractors. In
the Renewable Energy business, 91 (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 rapidly, most 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 all 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 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 always ensure
a safe work environment 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 super
-
vision 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 2022, the Group had less than 2,5 (2) % absences due to illness and no major incidents
were reported. The increase in illness is caused by more short term illness /covid after societies
have been reopened in 2022.
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 honours labour
rights and international labour 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
labour, 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 51 (62) % male and 49 (38) % female, and
in administration, including selling operations, research and development, finance, and human
resources, it was 29 (46) % male and 71 (53) % female. The total Group gender split was 74
(79) % male and 26 (21) % female.
Dovre had more than 20 different nationalities working for the company in 2022.
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.

Investor Relations
The Group’s general risk management is guided by the legal and business requirements by
shareholders of the company, and the expectations of clients, personnel, and other important
stakeholders. The goal of risk management is to 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 systematically and comprehensively.
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 prepared 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 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 plans to further 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 2024 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, such as environmental disasters (e.g.,
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.
EU TAXONOMY REPORTING
The European Union has set a clear target of becoming the world’s first climate-neutral con
-
tinent by 2050. The digital transition as well as smarter and greener use of technologies are
described as key enablers for achieving this. To support investment into sustainable projects,
the EU has launched a classification system for sustainable business activities, the EU Taxo
-
nomy. The European Commission adopted the Climate Delegated Act in 2021, containing the
two first environmental objectives: climate change mitigation and climate change adaptation.
The remaining four objectives are expected to follow in 2023.
Companies that fall under the EU’s Non-Financial Reporting Directive must report how
well their operations match the EU Taxonomy. For reporting on the financial year 2022, com-
panies report both taxonomy eligible and taxonomy-aligned KPIs: revenue as well as capital
and operating expenditure. In order for an activity to be classified as aligned, it should comply
with technical screening criteria defined by the EU. According to technical screening criteria,
an activity should ‘substantially contribute’ to at least one environmental objective and avoid
causing ‘significant harm’ to any of the other five objectives. Furthermore, the company should
comply with minimum safeguards.
We have evaluated Dovre Groups Taxonomy-eligibility according to the descriptions of
economic activities listed in the Climate delegate Act and the Annexes supported by the EU
Taxonomy Compass. Dovre is involved in a variety of large projects where we do not have
access to all detail technical details of the end product, accordingly part of the evaluations has
been based on available information and on our interpretation.
Compliance with Minimum Safeguards Compliance with Minimum Safeguards was evaluated
on a Dovre Group level. In order to become fully aligned with Minimum Safeguards requirements,
the company continues carrying out risk and impact assessments related to human rights and
anti-corruption as well as related documentation.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES FOR EU TAXONOMY REPORTING
The required key performance indicators have been determined based on Dovre’s financial
reporting prepared in accordance with IFRS. Further details about the Group’s accounting
policies are described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Revenue includes reportable segments’ total net sales and eliminations for internal net sales.
Capital expenditure is defined as additions to tangible and intangible assets during the
financial year considered before depreciation, amortization and revaluation. It also includes
additions to right-of-use assets from lease contracts. There has been no significant capital
expenditure in 2022. Therefore, all capital expenditure is included in taxonomy-non-eligible
activities.
Operating expenditure is defined as the proportion of capital expenditure included in
taxonomy-eligible or taxonomy-aligned economic activities. In financial reporting, operating
expenditure is included in materials and services, employee benefits expense and other oper
-
ating expenses.
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 2022 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 2022. 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 2023, a new
law regarding the temporary hire of personnel will be implemented in Q2. The effects of this
can be negative as some Dovre Group´s clients will choose to employ staff rather than use
consultants. In addition, expansion into new client segments requires expenditure and includes
risks. The business area’s other challenges include maintaining its competitiveness and prof-
itability. The Project Personnel business is project-based by nature, thus adding an element of
uncertainty to forecasting. From time to time, there may 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. The new law for temporary hire as mentioned above will also
have impact on part of Consulting Norway’s clients.
In the Renewable Energy business area, Suvic’s normal operations correspond to various
contractual risks depending on the differences in the scopes of work. These risks are mainly
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 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,
currency fluctuations can affect the Group’s net sales and operating result. Foreign currency
denominated assets and liabilities can also result in foreign exchange gains or losses.
In the short term, our operating environment continues to possess concerns, such as the
current geopolitical situation, high inflation, and high oil prices. In addition, new legislation in
Norway regarding the temporary hire of personnel will be implemented in Q2. We are currently
addressing this together with our clients to ensure compliance. After very high post-pandemic
growth in both revenue and operating profit in 2022 we expect the 2023 growth numbers to
return to more normal levels.

Forecasting the business performance for the year 2023 is more challenging than usually.
Mainly because of the new legislation Norway will introduce April 1st, which regulates the usage
of temporary employees in various situations. It is unclear at this time what the impact will
be on white collar employees, which are typically the class of employees that Dovre’s Project
Personnel and Consulting are contracting out. The second uncertainty is created by Suvic’s
sales cycle for which forecasting for the current year in mid-February is somewhat too early
when negotiations have yet not been fully completed for the coming summer.
OTHER EVENTS DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD
SARARASA PELLET OFF-TAKE AGREEMENT
On October 14, 2022, Dovre Group announced that its 19.9% owned associated company
SaraRasa Bioindo Pte. Ltd. had agreed with Cellmark Ab to supply most of its production of
pellets for a two-year period starting from December 2022 and ending in December 2024 for
the Korean market using Cellmark’s services. The agreement is fixed price, and the contract is
valued at approximately 14 million euros. This new off-take agreement replaces the previous
agreement announced on July 25, 2019, between the same parties.
Dovre Group Plc presents its ownership in SaraRasa Bioindo Pte.Ltd as a financial asset at
fair value through profit and loss.
TWO POSITIVE PROFIT WARNINGS IN 2022
Dovre Group issued two positive profit warnings, on August 2, 2022, and October 25, 2022.
The reason for raising the guidance in August was that the demand for Dovre’s services was
expected to maintain its level in the second half of the year. In October the guidance was raised
due to the continued strong demand for Dovre’s services in Project Personnel and Consulting,
and also due to the solid execution of Suvic in its Renewable Energy construction projects.
A WARNING AND FINE IMPOSED TO DOVRE GROUP PLC FOR
BREACHING THE RULES OF THE EXCHANGE
On December 1, 2022, the Disciplinary Committee of Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd imposed a warning
and a fine of EUR 40,000 to Dovre Group Plc due to the breaches of the Nordic Main Market
Rulebook for Issuers of Shares of Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd. Dovre Group Plc breached the Rules on
the disclosure of inside information when announcing agreements of its subsidiary Suvic Oy
in May and October 2021. Furthermore, the Company breached the Rules on organizing the
administration of the listed company.
Dovre Group takes compliance with the Exchange’s rules very seriously and has taken the
necessary measures to avoid similar situations in the future.
EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD
On 3 February 2023, Dovre Group issued a positive profit warning. Dovre Group’s net sales for
2022 is expected to be EUR 203 million and operating profit EUR 8.5 million. The operating
profit exceeds the previous guidance’s minimum operating profit by over 15 percent. The main
reason for the improved figures is steady development in all segments including in Q4.
OUTLOOK FOR 2023
Dovre Group`s net sales are expected to improve from 2022 and the operating profit (EBIT) is
expected to be about the same as in 2022.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ PROPOSAL FOR DISTRIBUTION

30, 2023, that a dividend of EUR 0.01 (0.00) per share be paid.

com or at Ahventie 4 B, 02170 Espoo, Finland.
2. ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accord-
ance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and in
accordance with IAS and IFRS standards and SIC and IFRIC inter-
pretations in force on December 31, 2022. In accordance with the
Finnish Accounting Act and the regulations issued by virtue of it,
“International Financial Reporting Standards” refers to the stand-
ards and interpretations which have been endorsed by the EU in
accordance with the procedure defined in the EU Regulation (EC)
No. 1606/2002. The notes to the consolidated financial statements
also comply with the provisions of Finnish accounting and corporate
legislation that supplement IFRS provisions.
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.”
New standards and interpretations
On January 1, 2022, the group adopted the following new or
amended standards. The implementation of the changes did not
have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements:
• Changes to the IAS 16 Tangible Fixed Assets standard. With
the change, the income received from tangible fixed assets
before the intended use, as well as the expenses related to
production, must be recorded on the income statement.
• Amendments to the IAS 37 Provisions, contingent liabilities
and contingent assets standard: Loss-making contracts -
Expenses related to fulfilling the contract. When the company
assesses whether it is a loss-making contract, the company
must include in the estimate of the expenses arising from the
fulfillment of the contract, as well as the additional expenses
arising directly from the contract, as well as the allocated
share of the expenses directly related to the contract.
• Annual improvements to IFRS Standards 2018–2020, including
mainly technical changes to standards IFRS 1, IFRS 9, IFRS 16
and IAS 41.
The following new or amended IFRS standards are not yet in force
and will be introduced in the financial period starting on January
1, 2023 or later. Only the most relevant changes for the group have
been included in the summary below. The management does not
expect the changes to have a material impact on the group’s finan-
cial statements in future reporting periods:
• Changes to the IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements
standard, which specify the requirements related to the classi
-
fication of liabilities into short-term and long-term items.
• IAS 1 Presentation of financial statements and IFRS Practice
Statement 2 changes regarding the presentation of principles
for preparing financial statements.
• Changes to IAS 8 Accounting principles, changes and errors
in accounting estimates: definition of accounting estimate.
The changes specify the difference between the definitions
of the change in the accounting principle and the accounting
estimate when applying the IAS 8 standard.
• Changes to the IAS 12 Income Taxes standard: deferred tax
on transactions in which both an asset and a liability are
recorded. The purpose of the change is to clarify the record
-
ing of deferred taxes for such events that give rise to both
a deferred tax liability and a receivable at the same time.
Such events include, for example, the recording of the lease
agreement in accordance with IFRS 16 and the recording of
the restoration liability.
• Amendment of the IFRS 16 Leases standard regarding the
subsequent treatment of lease debt in sale and leaseback
arrangements.
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. Mon-
etary 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
depreciation 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 Janu-
ary 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 recog-
nizes an asset representing the right to use a leased asset, presented
as part of property, plant and equipment, and a lease liability, repre-
senting 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.

Investor Relations
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-generat-
ing unit is estimated. An impairment loss is recognized in the income
statement, if the carrying value of the asset or cash-generating unit
exceeds its recoverable amount.
Employee benefits
Employee benefits expense
In addition to normal employee benefits expenses, the Group’s
employee benefits expense includes also expenses related to inde-
pendent contractors and subcontracted personnel if so due to leg-
islation 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
At the end of 2022 or 2021, the company had no ongoing share-
based incentive programs.
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 fulfil 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 fulfil 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
received.
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. In the past, the group has
had only few credit losses. The provision for losses on trade receiva-
bles is recorded using a simplified model based on the age of overdue
receivables. An allowance for losses on trade receivables is recorded
if the receivable is more than 90 days overdue, the receivable has
been actively collected without success, and according to the man
-
agement’s assessment, the receivable is unlikely to receive payment.
Financial liabilities
In accordance with IFRS 9, financial liabilities are initially recog-
nized on the basis of the original consideration received, less trans-
action 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 esti-
mates are based on the management’s best knowledge and under-
standing 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 2023 or later are mainly improvements or additions to
existing standards, and Dovre Group does not expect them to have a
material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
3. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Reporting segments
The Group has two reporting segments that are also the Group’s
strategic business areas:

-
agement, planning and construction mainly for wind farm
projects in the Nordic and Baltic countries.

reporting prepared in accordance with IFRS standards. The Group
does not allocate the parent company’s intra-Group charges to seg
-
ments for the purposes of segment reporting.

4. ACQUISITIONS
Acquisitions in 2022
There were no business combinations in 2022.
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.

eSite
In August, the Dovre Group acquired eSite’s businesses from the energy company Fortum. eSite is a
reality capture start-up company that specializes in 3D-imaging of industrial sites.
The acquired reality capture services expand Dovre’s offering in project consulting and they will also
be integrated in Proha’s project management solutions. Fortum transferred the eSite business to the
ownership of Dovre after the transaction was closed in September, excluding certain customers whom
Fortum will continue to serve in partnership with Dovre.
The acquisition did not have a material impact on Dovre’s 2021 results or financial position. Goodwill
arising from the acquired business EUR 0.3 million is included in Consulting’s goodwill.

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.

Book value, Dec. 31 21,017 20,898
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 2022 2021
Project Personnel 16,729 16,610
Consulting 1,023 1,023
Renewable Energy 3,265 3,265
Total 21,017 20,898
Impairment testing has been performed at the year-end, with December 31, 2022 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, 2022 was approximately EUR 1.3
million (EUR 1.3 million on December 31, 2021).
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.
KEY VARIABLES: 2022 2021
Average growth in net sales, %
Project Personnel 7.2 10.3
Consulting 7.8 8.3
Renewable Energy 9.9 23.9

Pre-tax discount rate, %
Project Personnel 15.7 11.7
Consulting 15.6 11.7
Renewable Energy 16.7 12.7
If any one of the following changes were made to the above key assumptions, the value in use value and
the carrying amount would be equal.
EBIT %, %-unit, change
Project Personnel -2.0
Consulting -12.6
Renewable Energy -4.3
Pre-tax discount rate, %-unit
Project Personnel 29.4
Consulting 492.0
Renewable Energy 220.5
Based on the sensitivity analysis, a significant weakening of the operating result or a significant increase
in the WACC in one of the group’s cash flow-generating units could cause a situation where impairment
adjustment posting should be done. In the Project Personnel with the highest goodwill, the limit value
for impairment adjustment is calculated 2 percentage point decrease in operating profit. Operating
profit in Consulting and Renewable Energy the decrease should be significantly more significant. Also
the increase of WACC to 29.4 percentage points could cause a situation in the Project Personnel where
impairment would have to be recorded. In consulting and in Renewable Energy, the limit values of the
WACC are, on the other hand, considerably large.

Leases
Dovre Group’s right-to-use assets are office leases, which are presented as part of buildings. Dovre
Group adopted a simplified approach to deployment, setting the starting date for existing contracts as
January 1, 2022.
Most office rentals are fixed-term contracts and some of these contracts include an option to extend
the contract periodically. Dovre Group assessed in the determination of the right-to-use assets that the
Group will utilize extension options. Leases, which are valid until further notice with a 3 to 12 month
notice period, have a probable lease term of 2–4 years.
Suvic Oy of a subsidiary of Dovre Group’s Renewable Energy business group, also has leased con
-
struction equipment. The lease contracts are fixed-term and last for 3–5 years.

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 0.4 (0.2) million on the Group’s result before taxes with the exchange rates strengthening and
EUR -0.4 (-0.2) 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.

Gearing -8.8% -3.7%
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. At constant
currencies, net sales would have increased by 41.3% year-on-year in 2022 instead growing by 42.2%.
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.

Conversion of the balance sheets of Dovre Group’s subsidiaries into euros resulted in a translation differ-
ence during 2022 0.4 (1.4) million euros. Among the group’s main currencies, the Singapore dollar and
the US dollar strengthened. Instead, the Canadian dollar and the Norwegian krone weakened slightly.
Interest rate risk
The Group’s interest rate risk arises from non-current loans totaling EUR 0.9 (1.3) million on December
31, 2022. 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 2022.
On December 31, 2022, the Group’s cash and cash equivalents were EUR 11.2 (9.5) 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.
On February 8, 2022, Dovre Group Oyj established a branch Dovre Group Sweden Filial in Sweden.
Financial statements of the Branch, prepared in accordance with Finnish accounting regulations, have
been included in the financial statements of Dovre Group Plc.
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-
nized in profit or loss under financial items. In determining the fair value of a derivative, the appropriate
quoted market price is used, if available. Alternatively, fair value is determined using commonly used
valuation methods. The company had no outstanding derivate contracts at the end of 2022.
Taxes
Income tax is recognized in accordance with Finnish tax legislation. Taxes withheld in foreign jurisdictions
are recognized as cost in the income statement if they cannot be utilized in taxation. Deferred tax assets
are recognized with utmost prudency.

7. AUDITOR’S REPORT (Translation of the Finnish original)
To the Shareholder’s 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,
2022. 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 note 15
• The value of goodwill in the consolidated balance sheet amounted to EUR 21.0 million
representing 25% of the total assets and 61% of net assets (2021: EUR 20.9 million representing
30% of the total assets and 73% 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.
• This matter is a significant risk of material misstatement referred to in EU Regulation No
537/2014, point (c) of Article 10(2).
• 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. 53% of the Dovre Group’s turnover consists of service sales based on hours or
days done.
• Long-term projects are entered as income in accordance with the degree of completion of the
performance obligation (project’s degree of completion). The transfer price of performance
pertaining to long-term projects is entered as a proportion of the price of the finished products
according to the degree of the performance. The earnings of long-term customer relationships
involve management judgement estimates based on experience and expectations regarding
future events. The most significant judgement relates to the projected total cost of the project.
46% 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 537/2014, 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
and accruals related to project accounting.
• We have ensured that the accounts receivable do not include significant undoubtful receivables.
• 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 five 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 auditor’s report thereon. We have obtained the report of the
Board of Directors prior to the date of this auditor’s report, and the
Annual Report is expected to be made available to us after that date.
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 the report of the Board of Directors, our
responsibility also includes considering whether the report of the
Board of Directors has been prepared in accordance with the appli
-
cable 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 on the other infor-
mation that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report,
we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other
information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing
to report in this regard.

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.

Investor Relations
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.
Dovre Group Plc Disclosure Policy describes the main princi-
ples according to which Dovre Group Plc, as a listed company, dis-
closes information to capital markets and other stakeholders. Dovre
Group communicates with the capital market and other stakeholders
primarily through stock exchange releases and press releases. In
order for the information provided to the market to give market
participants a fair picture of Dovre Group, it is important that Dovre
Group’s information is both consistent and compliant with appli-
cable regulations. Disclosures must therefore (if permitted by the
applicable regulatory framework) take into account Dovre Group’s
previous disclosure practice in similar cases (including any threshold
values applicable to the notification and the choice of the notifica-
tion channel).
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
Dovre Group complies with the applicable legislation, the standards
of the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority as well as NASDAQ
Helsinki Ltd.’s Guidelines for Insiders. In accordance with the legis
-
lation in force and the standards and guidelines in question, 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 possible 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 out-
lined in the Market Abuse Regulation ((EU) No 596/2014). If the
Company decide to delay disclosure, the Company documents and
continuously monitors the conditions for delayed disclosure. The
Company notifies the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority of
the delayed disclosure immediately after the information has been
publicly disclosed.
The Company’s insider manager is the Group’s CFO, who per-
forms tasks related to insider management together with the man-
ager of insider lists, the insider communication manager and the
persons responsible for project-specific insider registers. In addition,
the head of each function is responsible for supervising the insider
affairs of his own organization. The Company organizes training
in activities related to insider affairs. The manager of the relevant
insider project, who is named to the aforementioned project-spe-
cific insider register, is responsible for preparing and maintaining
project-specific insider register.
The list of insiders includes, by virtue of their position, Dovre
Group’s management personnel (the members of the Company’s
Board of Directors, the CEO, the members of the Group Executive
Team and the Company’s subsidiary Suvic Oy’s Board members
and CEO) and certain other persons working in the knowledge core
of Dovre Group who, based on the tasks they perform, have bet
-
ter knowledge of the Company than the market in general. These
persons are typically persons who prepare an interim report or
annual financial statements, persons responsible for the Company’s
finances, financial reporting or communication, or persons who have
access to such information, as well as some other persons working
in managerial positions in the Company.

of all persons who have access to insider information and who work
for the Company based on an employment contract or otherwise
perform tasks through which they have access to insider informa-
tion. Persons who participate in the planning and preparation of pro-
jects or events dealing with insider information, such as mergers and
acquisitions, are considered to be Project- or event-specific insiders.
A project-specific insider may not trade or carry out other transac-
tions with the Company’s financial instruments during the project.
Dovre Group Plc Persons discharging managerial responsibili
-
ties in the Company may not trade in any financial instruments in

addition to persons discharging managerial responsibilities in the
Company, the trading restriction applies to the Company’s employ-
ees participating in the preparation, drawing-up, and disclosure of
the Company’s financial reports.
The Company also releases as stock exchange releases all

managerial responsibilities in the Company and by persons closely
associated to them once a total amount of EUR 5,000 has been
reached within a calendar year.

The Board of Directors and Managing Director are responsible for
preparing the report of the Board of Directors and financial state

The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are also respon
-

the ESEF financial statements in accordance with the requirements
of the ESEF RTS.
Auditor’s Independence and Quality Management
We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethi-
cal requirements applicable in Finland, which apply to the engage-
ment we have performed, and we have fulfilled our other ethical
obligations in accordance with these requirements. The auditor
applies International Standard on Quality Management ISQM 1,
which requires the firm to design, implement and operate a system
of quality management including policies or procedures regarding
compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and
applicable legal and regulations requirements.
Auditor’s Responsibility
In accordance with the Engagement Letter our responsibility is to
express an opinion on whether the marking up of the consolidated

ply in all material respects with the Article 4 of the ESEF RTS. We
conducted our reasonable assurance engagement in accordance
with International Standard on Assurance Engagements 3000. The

material respects, marked up with iXBR tags in accordance

and the company identification data included in the ESEF

-
rial respects, with iXBRL tags in accordance with Article 4 of

• whether the ESEF financial statements and the audited finan
-
cial statements are consistent with each other.
The nature, timing and the extent of procedures selected depend on
practitioner’s judgement. This includes the assessment of the risks
of material departures from the requirements set out in the ESEF
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.
