Growing people,
Growing business
In review, 2021 was probably the most eventful
and significant year in Relesys’ history. We
delivered our financial targets by adding new
industry-leading clients to our portfolio as
well as further developing our existing client
engagements. Am I proud? Yes, for sure! But
even more so, I am grateful and humbled.
I am grateful for the trust and confidence our
clients are showing by allowing us to help grow
their people and their businesses every single
day. And I am humbled by the +1,100 investors
who joined us, believing in our strategy and the
market potential we are realizing.
In this regard, I also owe a big thank you to our
Board of Directors. With their diverse profiles
and strengths, they have been actively engaged
and played a highly supportive role in helping
our management team and myself fine-tune
our business and become better professionals,
both internally and externally.
I would also like to thank our incredible team
of employees who have been instrumental in
reaching our ambitious goals and have gone
above and beyond to deliver on our customer
promises.
LOOKING TOWARDS 2022
As we promised our investors in our IPO
prospectus when we originally filed for listing
on Nasdaq First North Premier Growth Market
Denmark, we are accelerating our growth strat-
egy by expanding our teams, especially within
sales and marketing in Denmark, Sweden, and
Benelux. Furthermore, we have initiated our
UK expansion, where we are looking forward
to opening our first office this summer and
addressing the huge market opportunities that
lie within our core industry expert areas – retail
and manufacturing.
We have set ourselves an ambitious growth and
expansion strategy to add more international
clients to our portfolio. Growing and scaling our
company to meet the demands of new
clients means we need to operate with agility
and flexibility. But it will also mean a greater
focus on ensuring that our corporate values and
culture are kept intact.
Over the years, we have demonstrated that
having a client-first mindset, where customiza-
tion and solving the individual business pains
of our clients, is a game-changer. This is what
sets us apart from becoming a one-size-fits-all
company delivering standardized and commod-
itized client deliverables. We are staying true to
our mindset and values, alongside our ongoing
quest to become the best-in-class provider of
communication and performance software –
globally.

Since the establishment of Relesys, our focus has been on
attracting market-leading brands that have a global presence
and operations across various markets. We are proud to
announce that we, yet again, have continued to add more
industry-leading brands to our growing client base, resulting

our client base, with wins in both current and new markets
and new agreements with subsidiaries of existing customers,
resulting in a 121% increase of growth in our revenue from
foreign country clients.
Even more organizations have seen the importance of
reaching, engaging and uniting their workforce through
digital solutions to streamline and strengthen their
communication, training and daily operations. We were
happy to welcome an impressive list of new clients,
including; Vestas, Carlsberg, Change Lingerie, Festi,

Financial review
Relesys continued to deliver double-digit growth rates of ARR and revenue. Sweden and the
Benelux regions both showed strong growth rates, and sales are continuously accelerating
in both areas. Relesys also continued to sign top industry brands such as Vestas and
Carlsberg Danmark.
Throughout the second half of the year, Relesys invested a significant amount of energy and
focus in listing on Nasdaq First North Premium Growth Market and in raising DKKm 69.0 in
cash. Simultaneously, Relesys started preparation for accelerated growth. Both initiatives had
a significant impact on cost but did not jeopardize the topline and will not jeopardize
good business acumen in the operations of Relesys.

INTRODUCTION
REACH / ENGAGE / UNITE
ANNUAL RECURRING REVENUE
ARR grew by 40% compared to 2020, which was in line with the strategy set out
in the IPO prospectus and guidance on ARR of DKKm 30.6. The ARR growth
can be separated into: 1) strong client retention rate of 94% with only 3% ARR
churn, 2) strong ARR uplift of 10% and 3) new clients at a value of DKKm 7.2,
with is an addition of 32% to the 2020 ARR. At the end of 2021 ARR could be
attributed to 78% from the domestic market of Denmark and 22% from foreign
markets.
REVENUE
Revenue grew 34% compared to 2020 and was in line with the guidance of
DKKm 33.3. The growth was a result of an advancement in both SaaS revenue
(31%) and in consultancy revenue (46%). The development in SaaS revenue
was mainly driven by growth in the number of clients (33%). The growth in
revenue could furthermore be attributed to progression in each of the regions
that Relesys has clients in, and for the first time, revenue grew more outside the
home market.
GROSS PROFIT
Gross profit grew 27% compared to 2020. The growth in topline was partly
offset by increased other operational expenses, which grew in line with the use
of proceeds from the IPO document. Consequently, the gross profit margin
decreased from 67% to 64%.
STAFF COSTS
Staff costs increased by 64% compared to 2020, which was driven by additional
FTEs to support the growth of topline, aligned with the strategy of scaling
Relesys internationally. Among other initiatives, Relesys prepared the marketing
and sales functions for international expansion by hiring managers in the
respective functions with relevant experience. With the hiring of new employees,
Relesys accelerated the internationalization and growth across new markets.
EBITDA
Aligned with the strategy presented in the IPO prospectus, Relesys has been
investing heavily in securing growth internationally. Short-term investments are
resulting in a negative EBITDA, but long-term SaaS revenues will strengthen
profitability.
NET FINANCIAL EXPENSES
The growth in net financial expenses was driven by bank interests.
CASH FLOW FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES
Relesys has had a strong history of growing the business while also ensuring a
positive cash flow. However, with the change in strategy and capital raised from
the IPO, Relesys transitioned into a phase with planned negative cash flow. As
a result, the operating activities contributed with negative DKKm 2.0 to cash
flow for the period.
CASH FLOW FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES
Relesys continued to invest in its product platform. As in previous years,
Relesys invested in both the Relesys Core (Essentials) module as well as in
each of the Relesys Pro modules.
CASH FLOW FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES
Relesys had two major financing activities during 2021.
1. Relesys acquired 49% of the shares in Relesys B.V. in May 2021 at a price
of DKKm 4.9.
2. Relesys increased its capital by DKKm 69.0 as part of the IPO in December
2021. Net of the cost directly related to the IPO, Relesys increased cash by
DKKm 63.8.

Financial Outlook
Financial Outlook for 2022
For 2022, we expect an ARR of DKKm 40–42, which is in line with the expectations for the
future in the IPO prospectus.
Furthermore, we expect revenue of DKKm 41–45, which is also in line with the IPO
prospectus.
Relesys continues to focus on growing the existing markets in Scandinavia and Benelux.
In addition, Relesys will enter the UK market during 2022, which means that Relesys will
increase both staff costs and other external expenses significantly.

2021
Actual
2022
Outlook
Annual Recurring Revenue 31.3 40-42
Revenue 34.5 41-45
Fulfillment of the ARR guidance depends on the following key drivers and assumptions:
• Continued low churn rate
• Continued strong uplift of existing clients
• Continued high growth of client base across industries and in foreign markets
In addition to above, fulfillment of the revenue guidance depends on the following key
drivers and assumptions:
• Continued short period for onboarding new clients.
Long term financial targets
Relesys continues to expect a CAGR of 35–41% from 2021 to 2024.
The higher growth rates in 2023 and 2024 reflects the projected crystallization of the heavy
investments in sales and marketing in 2021 and 2022, as well as the penetration of the new markets
in both 2022 and 2023.
Relesys continues the plan for the proceeds from the IPO Offering and will especially invest in
accelerating sales and marketing efforts. Those costs are recognized in Relesys’s costs in the profit &
loss statement. The investments in growth mean that Relesys will experience significant negative EBIT
margins in both 2022, 2023, and 2024

INTRODUCTION
REACH / ENGAGE / UNITE
Annual recurring revenue (ARR) is the annualized value of
subscriptions at a given date, entered into with Relesys.
New subscriptions are included in ARR at the time of entering into
a binding agreement, which would typically occur at the time of
signing an agreement.
For changes to existing subscriptions, ARR impact is included at
the time that the change enters into force.
Subscriptions that are terminated (ARR churn) are reduced on ARR
at the time that the agreement ceases to exist. Subscriptions are
typically entered into with an irrevocable period of 12–36 months.
Inclusion of ARR is conducted in the following manner:
• For 12-month subscriptions, ARR is included as 1 time the
value of the agreement.
• For 24-month subscriptions, ARR is included as 1/2 times the
value of the agreement.
• For 36-month subscriptions, ARR is included as 1/3 times the
value of the agreement.
• Monthly subscriptions and existing subscriptions that are
beyond the irrevocable period are included in ARR as 12 times
the actual monthly value of the subscription (MRR).
The value of ARR from transaction-based use is calculated as the
latest quarter’s actual transaction-based use multiplied by 4.
The value of customer customization and integrations are included
in ARR calculated as a prorated value over the subscription period.
ARR is calculated in Danish kroner. When entering into an
agreement in a foreign currency, a currency translation is
conducted at the time of entering into the agreement.

/ CORPORATE IDENTITY
Corporate Purpose
At Relesys, we are doing away with the idea
that one size fits all. Since 2014, we have
followed our gut feeling and inner values
underpinning the foundation of our mindset:
growing people, growing business. We
are on a quest to become the best-in-class
provider of communication and performance
software – globally – by building long-lasting
relationships with our clients, and with one
key passion – employee engagement.
The marriage strategy
One of our most valuable assets is our relationship with
our clients. And they are not just clients to us: they are
co-developers. From the very beginning, our clients have
played a crucial role in the development of our platform,
and this has continued to the present day. At Relesys, we
follow what we call the marriage strategy – a strategy that
feeds on long-lasting customer relationships resulting in
high customer retention.
Our team wants to make a difference for all our clients and
help them succeed in engaging their employees every
day. The Relesys mindset is anchored within our team,
and they do their utmost to ensure that our clients are left
with the best possible experience, whether in a meeting,
over the phone, or through support. For that reason, our
Client Success Team is by far the largest department
at Relesys. This team maintains a close and personal
relationship with clients and their solutions.
Anchored within the Relesys mindset is
that we go the extra mile to understand
our customers and their employees. For
us to support our clients in reaching their
full potential, we must start by gaining an
understanding of the employees’ daily lives,
drivers, and commitment towards their
workplace. By laying the right foundation,
we can customize a solution that can
reach, engage, and unite the power of their
workforce. We want to ensure we leave
something valuable for the next generation.
And the generation after that. Because
everything starts and ends with people.
Our Partnerships
Since day one, we have had a firm foothold within the retail
sector and with market-leading brands. We are number
one in supporting store-based retailers with extensive
organizational hierarchies in how they engage and interact
with their employees, especially when they may be spread
across countries, regions, cities, departments, and teams.
Subsequently, we have extended our client base by
utilizing our already established industry knowledge in
retail and pinpointing the common challenges similar
companies face, especially with regards to internal
communication, engagement, and performance
management. The main challenge is that they sometimes
struggle to reach, engage and unite their workforces.
The diversity within the respective organizations and the
physical distance between headquarters and non-desk
workers make it particularly difficult to ensure high
engagement. We are now also supporting companies
within industries such as transportation, manufacturing,
production, and hospitality by solving these challenges
and uniting their organization as a whole.
In 2021, we have continued to develop our partnerships
with our existing client base and are happy to announce
more market-leading brands to our growing client base,
including Vestas, Amcor, Carlsberg Danmark, Fitness
World, Change Lingerie, and Cofoco.

Keeping people
as the heart of the
business
At the end of 2021, Relesys employed
more than 70 talented people across all our
locations in Copenhagen, Aarhus, Odense,
Stockholm, Amsterdam, and Minsk. Our team
represents a range of diverse nationalities and
different perspectives, and this enables us to
offer our clients the best possible customised
and innovative solutions.
Nearly all our employees come from a retail
background and are deeply passionate about
the purpose of the platform: to reach, engage,
and unite the power of our clients’ workforce.
Our new Diversity
and Inclusion policy
At Relesys, we dedicate ourselves to
encouraging a supportive and inclusive
environment and culture as we know that
the key to succeeding in our mission is to
have the right people. We have therefore
introduced a global Diversity and Inclusion
policy. Our policy prescribes our position on
equal rights for all our employees as well as
providing them the opportunity to realize their
potential within Relesys. With this policy, we
have introduced various initiatives for us to
increase diversity within the organization. The
Diversity and Inclusion Policy is reviewed by
the Board of Directors and will be reported on
annually in line with applicable law. For more
information about our Diversity and Inclusion
Policy please visit www.relesys.net/investors.
At Relesys, we aim to recruit talented
people and help them develop, so we have
a constant flow of people who can take on
leadership roles while still understanding
and representing the culture of the company.
Anchored within our mindset is our belief that
employees are the most valuable asset, and
this belief pervades our entire organization.
We build on the core principles of a strong
culture, which has resulted in an open-
minded, ambitious, informal, and fast-paced
working environment where employees
laugh and thrive daily while being dedicated
to working towards the same goal. We will
continue to build upon this established culture
while hiring more talented employees.

DIVIDENDS
The Company’s ability to pay dividends depends, among other things, on its
financial condition, working capital requirements, the availability of distributable
profits and reserve and cash available, and other factors that the Board of
Directors may deem relevant. During the period of the current growth strategy,
the Board of Directors proposed not to pay dividends as the Company is in
a growth phase and intends to reinvest any profit in activities to continue the
growth.

2021 has been a historic year for Relesys.
We had an ambitious mission of advancing
our growth and taking the next steps towards
realizing the immense market potential that lies
ahead. It all culminated on the 1st of Decem-

and were listed on Nasdaq First North Premier

With the capital raised on Nasdaq First North
Premier, it is now possible for us to continue
accelerating Relesys’ growth trajectory by

sue our ambitious growth targets by executing

The Executive Board has today considered and
approved the Annual Report of Relesys A/S for
the financial year 1 January 2021 to 31 Decem-
ber 2021.
The Consolidated Financial Statements have
been prepared in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by
the EU and further requirements in the Dan-
ish Financial Statements Act, and the Parent
Financial Statements have been prepared in
accordance with the Danish Financial State-
ments Act. The Management Commentary has
been prepared in accordance with the Danish

In our opinion, the Consolidated Financial

Parent’s financial position at 31 December 2021
and of their results and operations as well as
the consolidated cash flows for the financial
year 1 January to 31 December 2021.
In our opinion, the Management Commentary
contains a fair review of the development in the
operations and financial circumstances of
the Group and the Parent, of the results
for the year and of the financial position
of the Group and the Parent as well as a
description of the most significant risks and
elements of uncertainty facing the Group

OPINION
We have audited the consolidated financial statements and the
parent financial statements of Relesys A/S for the financial year
01.01.2021 - 31.12.2021, which comprise the balance sheet,
statement of changes in equity and notes, including a summary
of significant accounting policies, for the Group as well as the
Parent, and the income statement of the Parent and the statement
of comprehensive income and cash flow statement of the Group.
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance
with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted
by the EU and additional requirements of the Danish Financial
Statements Act, and the parent financial statements are prepared in
accordance with the Danish Financial Statements Act.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true
and fair view of the Group’s financial position at 31.12.2021, and
of the results of its operations and cash flows for the financial year
01.01.2021 - 31.12.2021 in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU and additional
requirements under the Danish Financial Statements Act.
Further, in our opinion, the parent financial statements give a true
and fair view of the Parent’s financial position at 31.12.2021, and
of the results of its operations for the financial year 01.01.2021 -
31.12.2021 in accordance with the Danish Financial Statements
Act.
BASIS FOR OPINION
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards
on Auditing (ISAs) and the additional requirements applicable
in Denmark. Our responsibilities under those standards and
requirements are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities
for the audit of the consolidated financial statements and the
parent financial statements section of this auditor’s report. We are
independent of the Group in accordance with the International
Ethics Standards Board of Accountants' Code of Ethics for
Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) and the additional
requirements applicable in Denmark, and we have fulfilled our other
ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We
believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
STATEMENT ON THE MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY
Management is responsible for the management commentary.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements and the
parent financial statements does not cover the management
commentary, and we do not express any form of assurance
conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial
statements and the parent financial statements, our responsibility
is to read the management commentary and, in doing so, consider
whether the management commentary is materially inconsistent
with the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial
statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise
appears to be materially misstated.
Moreover, it is our responsibility to consider whether the
management commentary provides the information required under
the Danish Financial Statements Act.
Based on the work we have performed, we conclude that the
management commentary is in accordance with the consolidated
financial statements and the parent financial statements and
has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the
Danish Financial Statements Act. We did not identify any material
misstatement of the management commentary.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MANAGEMENT'S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE
PARENT FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Management is responsible for the preparation of
consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair
view in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards as adopted by the EU and additional
requirements of the Danish Financial Statements Act as
well as the preparation of parent financial statements that
give a true and fair view in accordance with the Danish
Financial Statements Act, and for such internal control
as Management determines is necessary to enable the
preparation of consolidated financial statements and
parent financial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements
and the parent financial statements, Management is
responsible for assessing the Group’s and the Parent’s
ability to continue as a going concern, for disclosing,
as applicable, matters related to going concern, and for
using the going concern basis of accounting in preparing
the consolidated financial statements and the parent
financial statements unless Management either intends to
liquidate the Group or the Entity or to cease operations,
or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF
THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND
THE PARENT FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the consolidated financial statements and the
parent financial statements as a whole are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and
to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but
is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance
with ISAs and the additional requirements applicable
in Denmark will always detect a material misstatement
when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or
error and are considered material if, individually or in
the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to
influence the economic decisions of users taken on the
basis of these consolidated financial statements and
these parent financial statements.
As part of an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs
and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark,
we exercise professional judgement and maintain
professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement
of the consolidated financial statements and the par-
ent 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 Group’s and the Parent’s internal control.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies
used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates
and related disclosures made by Management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of Management’s
use of the going concern basis of accounting in
preparing the consolidated financial statements and
the parent financial statements, and, based on the
audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncer-
tainty exists related to events or conditions that may
cast significant doubt on the Group's and the Parent’s
ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude
that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to
draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related
disclosures in the consolidated financial statements
and the parent financial statements or, if such dis-
closures 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 Group and the
Entity to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and con-
tent of the consolidated financial statements and the
parent financial statements, including the disclosures
in the notes, and whether the consolidated financial
statements and the parent financial statements
represent the underlying transactions and events in a
manner that gives a true and fair view.
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding
the financial information of the entities or business
activities within the Group to express an opinion on
the consolidated financial statements. We are respon-
sible 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.

Basis of preparation
The Financial Statements are presented in Danish kroner
(DKK). All amounts have been rounded to nearest DKK
thousand, unless otherwise indicated.
The Financial Statements have been prepared on a going
concern basis and in accordance with the historical cost
convention, except where IFRS explicitly requires use of
other values.
For the purpose of clarity, the Financial Statements and
the notes to the Financial Statements are prepared using
the concepts of materiality and relevance. This means
that line items not considered material in terms of quan-
titative and qualitative measures or relevant to financial
statement users are aggregated and presented together
with other items in the Financial Statements. Similarly,
information not considered material is not presented in
the notes.
The accounting policies, except as described below, have
been applied consistently during the financial year and
for the comparative figures.

Basis of consolidation
The Consolidated Financial Statements comprise the
Financial Statements of Relesys A/S (the Parent) and
subsidiaries which are entities controlled by Relesys A/S.
The Group controls an entity when it directly or indirectly
owns more than 50% of the voting rights or may other-
wise exercise a controlling influence.
The Group’s Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with In-
ternational Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as adopted by the EU and additional Dan-
ish disclosure requirements for the financial statements of reporting class B enterprises with
additions of certain provisions for reporting class C enterprises, cf. the Danish Executive Order
on Adoption of IFRSs (“IFRS-bekendtgørelsen”) issued in accordance with the Danish Financial
Statements Act (“DFSA”).
Principles of consolidation
The Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared on
the basis of the Financial Statements of the Parent and its
subsidiaries.
The Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared by
combining items of a uniform nature and subsequently
eliminating intercompany transactions, internal share-
holdings and balances and unrealised intercompany
gains or losses. The Financial Statements used for con-
solidation are prepared in accordance with the Group’s
accounting policies.
The line items of subsidiaries are recognised 100% in the
Consolidated Financial Statements. Investments in sub-
sidiaries are offset by the interest’s share of subsidiaries’
net assets at the acquisition date at fair value.
Accounting policies are described in full in this note
below.

Foreign currency translation
Transactions denominated in currencies other than the function-
al currency are considered transactions in foreign currency.
On initial recognition, transactions denominated in foreign
currencies are translated to the functional currency at the
exchange rates at the transaction date. Foreign exchange rate
adjustments arising between the transaction date and the date
of payment are recognised in the statement of profit or loss in
financial income or financial expenses.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign curren-
cies are translated at the exchange rates at the reporting date.
The difference between the exchange rates at the reporting date
and at the date of the transaction or the exchange rate in the
latest Financial Statements is recognised in the statement of
profit or loss in financial income or financial expenses.
Cash flow statement
The cash flow statement is presented using the indirect method
and shows cash flows from operating, investing, and financing
activities for the year as well as the Group’s cash and cash
equivalents at the beginning and end of the financial year.
Cash flows from operating activities are calculated based on op-
erating profit/loss, adjusted for the cash flow effect of non-cash
operating items, working capital changes, financial expenses
paid and income tax paid.
Cash flows from investing activities comprise payments in con-
nection with the acquisition and sale of non-current intangible
assets, property, plant and equipment, and financial assets.
Cash flows from financing activities comprise payments arising
from changes in the size or composition of the Group’s share
capital and dividend paid. Cash and cash equivalents comprise
cash at the bank and in hand.
Non-IFRS financial measures
The Group uses certain financial measures that are not
defined in IFRS to describe the Group’s financial per-
formance. These financial measures may therefore be
defined and calculated differently from similar measures
in other companies, and thus not be comparable.

The Group recognises revenue from the following major
sources being subscriptions, integrations & customizations,
and consultancy. Revenue mainly derives from subscrip-
tion fees charged for the Group’s software licenses. For
software contracts, which are comprised of several com-
ponents, the total contract sum is allocated to the sepa-
rate performance obligations for the purpose of revenue
recognition.
Revenue recognition requires an agreement with the
customer, which creates enforceable rights and obligations
between the parties, has commercial substance, and identi-
fies payment terms. In addition, it must be probable that the
consideration determined in the contract will be collected.
Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which
the Group expects to be entitled in a contract with a cus-
tomer and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third
parties. The Group recognises revenue when it transfers
control of the license or service to a customer. All revenue
is derived from contracts with customers.
Statement of profit or loss
Revenue
SUBSCRIPTION FEES
Subscription fees cover license, hosting, and maintenance.
The license is not distinct from the hosting service, reve-
nue is therefore recognised over time, as the customers
are receiving and consuming the benefits of the Group‘s
performance while performing. The hosting service and
maintenance are therefore bundled to one performance
obligation together with the license.
INTEGRATIONS & CUSTOMIZATIONS
Fees to integrations and customizations include services
related to installation, implementation, and configuration.
The services are not distinct from the subscription fee as
the customer cannot benefit from the service on its own
and are not separately identifiable from other promises
in the contract. Revenue is recognised over time, as the
customers are receiving and consuming the benefits of the
Group’s performance while performing.
CONSULTANCY
Consultancy includes the development of add-ons and
customisation according to the specific needs of the cus-
tomers. The consultancy is distinct from the subscription
fee as the customer can benefit from the service on its own
and the promise to transfer the service to the customer is
separately identifiable from other promises in the contract.
Revenue is recognised over time as Relesys’ performance
does not create an asset with alternative use and the entity
has a right to payment for performance completed to date.

Cost to obtain a contract
The Group pays sales commission to its employees for each con-
tract that they obtain for sales of licenses. The commissions are
recognised as contract costs in the statement of financial position
and amortised between 24 and 36 months.
Capitalised contract costs are subject to an impairment assess-
ment at the end of each reporting period. Impairment losses are
recognised in profit or loss as staff costs
Other external expenses
Other external costs comprise costs incurred for distribution,
sales, advertising, administration, premises, loss on receivables.
Staff costs
Staff costs include salaries and wages, including holiday allow-
ances, pensions, share-based payments, and other social security
costs, etc., for staff members.
Share-based payments
Share-based compensation benefits in respect of a warrant pro-
gram are provided to other key management personnel and other
employees.
The warrant program is classified as an equity arrangement. As
such, the fair value of the warrants granted under the program is
recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equi-
ty. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to
the grant date fair value of the warrants. The total expense is
recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over which
all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At the
end of each period, the Company revises its estimates of the num-
ber of warrants that are expected to vest based on the non-mar-
ket vesting and service conditions. It recognises the impact of
the revision to original estimates, if any, in profit or loss, with a
corresponding adjustment to equity. Further information about the
share-based payment program is disclosed in note 7.
Financial income and financial expenses
Financial income and expenses include interest income, interest
expense, amortisation of borrowing costs, and realised and unre-
alised exchange gains and losses.disclosed in note 7.
Tax
Tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises the year’s current
tax and changes in deferred tax. The tax expense relating to the
profit or loss for the year is recognised in the statement of profit
or loss, and the tax expense relating to items recognised in other
comprehensive income and directly in equity, respectively, is
recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
Exchange rate adjustments of deferred tax are recognised as part
of the adjustment of deferred tax for the year.
Current tax payable and receivable is recognised in the statement
of financial position as the expected tax on the taxable income for
the year, adjusted for tax paid on account. The current tax charge
for the year is calculated based on the tax rates and rules enacted
at the statement of financial position date.
Deferred tax is calculated using the liability method on all tem-
porary differences between the accounting and taxable values of
assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets are assessed yearly and only recognised to
the extent that it is more likely than not that they can be utilised.
Deferred tax assets, including the tax value of tax losses carried
forward, are recognised as other non-current assets and mea-
sured at the amount at which they are expected to be realised,
either by setting off deferred tax liabilities or by setting off tax on
future earnings within the same legal entity or a jointly taxed entity.
Deferred tax is measured based on the tax legislation and stat-
utory tax rates in the respective countries that will apply under
the legislation in force on the statement of financial position date
when the deferred tax asset is expected to crystallise as current
tax. Changes in deferred tax resulting from changes in tax rates
are recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
The Group recognises deferred tax assets relating to losses
carried forward when Management finds that these can be offset
against taxable income in the foreseeable future. An assessment
is made taking into consideration the effect of restrictions in utili-
sation in local tax legislation. Future taxable income is assessed
based on budgets as well as Management’s expectations regard-
ing the growth and operating margin in the coming years.

Intangible assets
Intangible assets with determinable useful lives compris-
ing completed and in-progress development projects are
measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and im-
pairment losses. Completed development projects by the
Group are recognised as an asset if the cost of develop-
ment is reliably measurable and an analysis future shows
that the economic benefits from using the software exceed
the cost.
Cost is defined as development costs incurred to the devel-
opment of projects and consists of direct salaries and other
directly attributable costs.
Amortisation of the asset begins when development is
complete, and the asset is available for use. It is amortised
over the expected useful life on a straight-line basis. During
the period of development, the asset is tested for impair-
ment annually.
Amortisation and impairment charges are recognised in the
statement of profit or loss.
Expected useful lives are reassessed regularly. The Group
regularly reviews the carrying amounts of its finite-lived in-
tangible assets to determine whether there is an indication
of an impairment loss. Development projects are amortised
on a straight-line basis over the remaining patent period
and licenses are amortised over the contract period for a
period of 5-7 years.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant, and equipment comprise other fixtures and
fittings, tools, and equipment. Property, plant, and equip-
ment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation
and accumulated impairment losses. Property, plant, and
equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the
expected useful lives of the finite-lived assets, which are as
follows:
Other fixtures and fittings, tools, and equipment: 3-5 years.
Property, plant, and equipment are tested for impairment
if indications of impairment exist. Property, plant, and
equipment are written down to their recoverable amount if
the carrying amount exceeds the higher of the fair value,
less costs to sell and the value in use. Depreciation and
impairment charges are recognised in the statement of
profit or loss.
Balance sheet
Leases
When entering into an agreement, the Group assesses
whether an agreement is a lease agreement or contains a
lease element.
The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which is cal-
culated as the present value of the lease obligation plus
any direct costs related to entering the lease and prepaid
lease payments.
The right-of-use asset is depreciated on a straight-line
basis over the shorter of the lease term and the useful life
of the asset.
The Group leases properties that include a service
element in the payments to the lessor. This service is
deducted from the lease payment when measuring the
lease obligation.
Short-term leases with a maximum lease term of 12
months and leases where the underlying asset has a low
value are not recognised in the statement of financial
position.
The lease term is defined as the non-cancellable period
of a lease together with periods covered by options to
extend the lease if it is reasonably certain that the options
will be exercised, and periods covered by options to
terminate the lease if it is reasonably certain that the
options will not be exercised. A number of leases contain
extension and termination options in order to guarantee
operational flexibility in managing the leases.
The lease obligation, which is recognised in “Lease liabil-
ities”, is measured at the present value of the remaining
lease payments, discounted by the Group’s incremental
loan interest rate if the implicit interest rate is not stated in
the lease agreement or cannot reasonably be determined.
The lease obligation is subsequently adjusted if:
• The value of the index or interest rate on which the
lease payments are based changes.
• There is a change in the expectations related to the
exercise of options to extend or shorten the lease period
due to a material event or material change in circumstanc-
es that are within the control of the lessee.
• The lease term is changed as a result of exercising an
option to extend or shorten the lease term.
Subsequent adjustments of the lease obligation are rec-
ognised as a correction to the right-of-use asset. Howev-
er, if the right-of-use asset has a value of DKK 0, a nega-
tive reassessment of the right-of-use asset is recognised
in the statement of profit or loss.

Trade receivables
Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for
services performed in the ordinary course of business. They
are recognised initially at the amount of consideration that is
unconditional unless they contain significant financing com-
ponents when they are recognised at fair value. The group
holds the trade receivables with the objective of collecting the
contractual cash flows and therefore measures them subse-
quently at amortised cost using the effective interest method
less loss allowance.
The group applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to mea-
suring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected
loss allowance for all trade receivables. The measurement of
the expected credit losses is based on an individual assess-
ment of trade receivables. The expected loss rates are based
on the payment profiles and the corresponding historical
credit losses experienced adjusted to reflect current and for-
ward-looking information affecting the ability of the customers
to settle the receivables.
Trade receivables are written off (either partially or in full)
when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. The
costs of allowances for expected credit losses and writeoffs
for trade receivables are recognised in the statement of profit
or loss in other external expenses.
Deposits
Deposits are measured at amortised cost and represent lease
deposits etc.
Prepayments
Prepayments comprise incurred costs relating to subsequent
financial years. Prepayments are measured at cost.
Proposed dividend
Dividend expected to be distributed for the year is
recognised as a separate item under equity. Proposed
dividend is recognised as a liability at the time of approval
by the Annual General Meeting (time of declaration).
Share premium
Share premium consists of positive differences between the
nominal value of share capital and amount paid by sharehold-
ers for newly issued shares. Share premium is a distributable
reserve.
Translation reserve
Exchange rate differences arising from the translation of for-
eign-controlled entities into the presentation currency, DKK,
are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumu-
lated on a separate reserve within equity. The accumulated
amount will be reclassified to profit or loss when the net
investment the translation reserve relates to is disposed of.
Transaction costs related to equity
issuance
Qualifying transaction costs incurred in connection with the
issuance of equity instruments are deducted from equity.
Where the qualifying transaction costs related to the listing of
existing and new shares, the part of the total transaction costs
deducted from equity are based on the ratio between existing
and new shares.
Interest-bearing liabilities
Interest-bearing liabilities include bank loan and a credit
facility. Interest-bearing liabilities are initially recognised at
fair value and are subsequently measured at amortised cost
using the effective interest method.
Trade payables and other payables
Trade payables represent liabilities for goods and services
provided to the group and are initially recognised at fair value
and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest method.
Other payables include bonus and commission accruals, hol-
iday pay obligations, payroll taxes, and VAT. Other payables
are measured at cost.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
REACH / ENGAGE / UNITE
Relesys has adopted the following new or amended accounting standard and interpretations for the first time
for the annual reporting period commencing 1 January 2021:
• Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, and IFRS 7 – Interest Rate Benchmark Reform (IBOR) - phase 2, which
enables entities to reflect the effects of transitioning from benchmark interest rates to alternative interest
rates without giving accounting impact.
• Amendments to IFRS 16 – Leases regarding COVID-19 related rent concessions, providing a practical
expedient to account for COVID-19 related rent concessions as if they did not lease modifications.
The adoption of new and amended standards and interpretations have not had a significant impact on the
recognition, measurement or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements for 2021 and is not expected
to have a significant impact on future periods.

Critical accounting judgements and
key sources of estimation uncertainty
As part of the preparation of the Financial
Statements, Management makes a number of
accounting estimates and assumptions as a
basis for recognising and measuring the Group’s
assets, liabilities, income, and expenses as
well as judgments made in applying the entity’s
accounting policies. The estimates, judgments,
and assumptions made are based on experience
gained and other factors that are considered pru-
dent by Management in the circumstances, but
which are inherently subject to uncertainty and
volatility.
The assumptions may be incomplete or inaccu-
rate, and unforeseen events or circumstances
may occur, for which reason the actual results
may differ from the estimates and judgments
made. The accounting policies are described
in detail in note 1 to the Financial Statements to
which we refer.
Management considers the following accounting
estimates and judgments to be significant in the
preparation of the Financial Statements.
Estimates and assumptions
DEVELOPMENT COSTS
The Group capitalises costs for software devel-
opment projects. Initial capitalisation of costs is
based on management’s judgement that tech-
nological and economic feasibility is confirmed,
usually when a product development project
has reached a defined milestone according to
an established project management model.
In determining the amounts to be capitalised,
Management makes assumptions regarding the
expected future cash generation of the project
and the expected period of benefits. On 31 De-
cember 2021, the carrying amount of capitalised
development costs was DKKt 5,032 (2020: DKKt
4,485).

Segment information
For management purposes and based on internal reporting information, the Group is organ-
ised in only one operating segment, as the information reported includes operating results at a
consolidated level only. The costs related to the main nature of the business are not attributable
to any specific revenue stream or customer type and are therefore borne centrally. The results
of the single reporting segment are shown in the statement of comprehensive income.
The Executive Management is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), which is made up
of the senior leadership across the respective functional areas and is responsible for the strate-
gic decision-making and for the monitoring of the operating results of the single operating seg-
ment for the purpose of performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on
profit or loss and is measured consistently with profit or loss in the Financial Statements.
In 2021, one customer exceeded 10% of total revenue accumulated at 13% (2020: One custom-
er with accumulated revenue of 18%).

Share-based payment plans
The Company has introduced a share-based payment program to selected “Other Key Employees”. The Company’s
current warrant program was approved by the shareholders in 2021 and introduced in November 2021.
2021 warrant program
The program was established with the purpose to create further incentive to the participants to work for and
contribute to future value added to the Company, thus creating positive development in the market value of the
Company’s share. Further, the program is instrumental to retaining the participants in the Company.
The participants are under the program granted warrants in the Company for no consideration, which entitle the
warrant holder to subscribe for A shares in the Company of a nominal value of DKK 0.01 without preemption right for
the shareholders of the Company. Participation in the warrant program is at the board’s discretion, and no individual
has a contractual right to participate in the plan or to receive any guaranteed benefits. The warrants are vesting over
a period of four years, with one forth after one year and thereafter one 48th per month. The exercise prices of the
warrants are listed below for the respective years.
Vested warrants are exercisable only upon an exit event and conditional on the warrant holder’s employment
or engagement with the Company have not terminated. However, vested warrants are exercisable only until the
expiration date as specified in the table further below. Upon the occurrence of an exit-event, all warrants will become
fully vested conditional on the holder’s continuing employment. The cost of the warrant program is recognized over
the expected vesting period considering the impact from accelerated vesting and expected time to exit.
Upon the warrant holder’s exercise, the Company is entitled to demand cash settlement of the warrant, so that
instead of the warrant holder subscribing for and receiving shares in the Company, the warrant holder will receive
cash settlement in an amount equal to the net value of the warrant.

expected maturity).
The average model inputs for the warrants granted during the year ended 31 December 2021 included:
The expected volatility rate is based on the annualised volatility of relevant peer groups derived from the standard deviation
of daily observations over 12 months ending 2021. The share price is equal to the listing price of Relesys A/S on the 1st of

The expected maturity corresponds to the expected number of years until the occurance of an exit event.

Completed development projects relate to the further development of the Relesys platform, Relesys core
modules, and Relesys pro modules. Management has an expectation of positive earnings from each
development project.
It is Management’s assessment that the expected useful lives of the finite-lived assets, as well as the expected
future revenue streams from the assets, are sufficient to cover the value of recognised developed projects at the
reporting date.

Trade receivables
DKK’000
2021 2020
Trade receiveables 3,860 8,014
Total 3,860 8,014
Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for subscriptions as well as from integration, customi-
zation, and consultancy services carried out in the ordinary course of business. They are generally due for
settlement within 14 - 60 days and therefore are all classified as current.
Expected credit loss
Most of the Group’s customers are large companies that do normally have a high credit quality. The Group
has historically not incurred any material losses from trade receivables. The existence of the Covid-19
pandemic is not expected to have any significant impact on the Group’s expected credit losses as the cus-
tomers’ demand for the Group’s services has increased during the pandemic as our services have become
even more relevant for our customers in their engagement with their workforce.
On that basis, Management has concluded that the Group’s credit risk from trade receivables is not material
and has therefore deemed the expected credit losses immaterial.
The below table details the maturity of trade receivables.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Capital management
The Group manages its capital to ensure that it will be
able to continue as a going concern while maximising the
return to shareholders through the optimisation of the debt
and equity balances. The capital structure of the Group
consists of net debt and equity. Management reviews
the capital structure continually to consider if the current
capital structure is in accordance with the Group’s and
shareholders’ interests.
Financial risk management
Due to the nature of its operations, investments, and
financing, the Group is exposed to a number of financial
risks. It is Group policy to operate with a low-risk profile
in order for currency risk, interest rate risk, and credit risk
only to occur in commercial relationships. The scope and
nature of the Group’s financial instruments appear from
the statement of profit or loss and statement of financial
position in accordance with the accounting policies
applied.
The Group’s financial assets primarily relate to trade
receivables and cash, whereas the financial liabilities
primarily relate to trade payables, lease liabilities, and
other interest-bearing liabilities.
Provided below is information about factors that may
influence amounts, time of payment, or reliability of
future payments, where such information is not provided
directly in the financial statements. This note addresses
only financial risks directly related to the Group’s financial
instruments.
It is the Group’s policy not to hedge any of its exposures
to financial risks.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meet its
obligations towards the Group, resulting in a financial loss.
The Group’s credit risk exposure is primarily related to
its trade receivables and cash positions. The Group’s
exposure and policy for managing credit risk from trade
receivables has been described in note 16.
The most significant counterparty risk is related to deposit
with banks, as the Group’s cash balance at 31 December
2021 amounts to DKKt 59,260 (2020: DKKt 3,327). To
mitigate this risk, the Group only enters into money market
deposits with well reputed banks possessing a satisfactory
long-term credit rating from an internationally recognized
agency.
The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date
is the carrying amount of each class of financial assets.
/ NOTE 19
Financial risks
Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or
future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of
changes in foreign exchange rates.
The general objective of the Group’s currency risk
management is to limit and delay any adverse impact of
exchange rate fluctuations on earnings and cash flows
and thus increase the predictability of the financial results.
The Group also aims at balancing incoming and outgoing
payments in local currency as much as possible as well
as monitoring the development in exchange rates and
adjusting price lists when required. The Group’s sales are
primarily denominated in local currencies corresponding
to the functional currency of the relevant group entity.
Historically, DKK has been the predominant invoicing
currency of the parent company. However, sales are
also made in foreign currencies such as USD and EUR.
Purchases are primarily made in local currencies. As the
DKK is pegged against the EUR, the Group’s exposure to
changes in the DKK/EUR exchange rate is insignificant.
Going forward, Management expects higher frequency
of foreign currencies in the incoming and out-going cash
flow. Consequently, Management has established bank
accounts for these currencies, to reduce costs and lower
the risk.
A similar decrease in the foreign exchange rates will have
a corresponding effect on the profit before tax and pre-tax
equity.
The sensitivity analysis assumes all other variables
remain constant. The impact on profit before tax and
pre-tax equity is based on those financial instruments
denominated in foreign currencies that were recognised at
the respective balance sheet dates.
Liquidity risk
The Group ensures sufficient liquidity resources by
liquidity management. The Group’s policy is to secure
adequate liquidity to always meet the planned future
financial and operational payment obligations for a
minimum of the next 12 months period. For those
purposes, group management monitors liquidity budgets,
which are updated on an ongoing basis.
On 31 December 2021, the Group’s cash and cash
equivalents amounted to DKKt 59,260 (2020: DKKt 3,327).
The cash reserve and expected operating cash flows are
considered to be adequate to meet the obligations of the
Group as they fall due.

Management has assessed the carrying amount to be equivalent to the fair value of the liabilities.
A similar decrease in the foreign exchange rates will have a corresponding effect on the profit before tax and

The sensitivity analysis assumes all other variables remain constant. The impact on profit before tax and pre-
tax equity is based on those financial instruments denominated in foreign currencies that were recognised at

Financial risks (Continued)
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate
because of changes in market interest rates. The Group’s interest rate risk is limited to cash deposits
and to a minor degree the amount payable to the Holiday allowance fund which is subject to an annual
variable indexation. The Group’s loans and debt to credit institutions are subject to a fixed interest rate
between 2% and 5.25%.
If market rates of interest increased / (decrease) by 100 basis points, profit before tax and pre-tax equity
would increase / (decrease) it would not affect the interest rate sensitivity.

Classification of financial assets measured at amortised cost
Since the Group’s financial instruments measured at amortised cost are either short-term and/or exposed to
floating interest rates, Management has assessed that the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of
fair value.
The maturity analysis is based on the following assumptions:
• The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows (including interest
payments).
• Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not
significant.
• Payments for lease liabilities include only lease agreements that have commenced before the end of
the reporting period.
• Other payables include payables to the Holiday allowance fund and are included in the relevant
time-bands based on the expected time to retirement. Future estimated interest payments are based
on the most recent indexation rate and average time to retirement.

Accounting policies
Basis of recognition and measurement
Income is recognised in the income statement concurrently with
its realisation, including the recognition of value adjustments of
financial assets and liabilities. Likewise, all costs are recognised
in the income statement, including depreciation, amortisation,
write-downs for impairment, provisions, and reversals due to
changes in estimated amounts previously recognised in the
income statement.
Assets are recognised in the statement of financial position when
it seems probable that future economic benefits will flow to the
company and the value of the asset can be measured reliably.
Liabilities are recognised in the statement of financial position
when it seems probable that future economic benefits will flow
out of the company and the value of the liability can be measured
reliably.
Assets and liabilities are measured at cost at the initial
recognition. Hereafter, assets and liabilities are measured as
described below for each individual accounting item.
Certain financial assets and liabilities are measured at amortised
cost, allowing a constant effective interest rate to be recognised
during the useful life of the asset or liability. Amortised cost is
recognised as the original cost less any payments, plus/less
accrued amortisation of the difference between cost and nominal
amount. In this way, capital losses and gains are allocated over
the useful life of the liability.
Upon recognition and measurement, allowances are made for
such predictable losses and risks which may arise prior to the
presentation of the Annual Report and concern matters that exist
on the reporting date.
Foreign currency translation
Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional
currency are considered transactions in foreign currency.
On initial recognition, transactions denominated in foreign
currencies are translated to the functional currency at the
exchange rates at the transaction date. Foreign exchange rate
adjustments arising between the transaction date and the date
of payment are recognised in the statement of profit or loss in
financial in-come or financial expenses.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies
are translated at the exchange rates at the reporting date.
The difference between the exchange rates at the reporting date
and at the date of the transaction or the exchange rate in the
latest Financial Statements is recognised in the statement of
profit or loss in financial income or financial expenses.
The Annual Report of Relesys A/S has been presented in accordance with the Danish Financial Statements Act
regulations concerning reporting class B enterprises. Furthermore, the company has decided to comply with
certain rules applying to reporting class C enterprises. The accounting policies are unchanged from last year,
and the Annual Report is presented in DKK.

Accounting policies (Continued)
Gross profit
Gross profit comprises the revenue, changes in inventories
of finished goods, work in progress, work performed for
own account and capitalised other operating income, and
external costs.
Revenue is recognised in the income statement if delivery
and passing of risk to the buyer have taken place before
the end of the year and if the income can be determined
reliably and inflow is anticipated. Recognition of revenue is
exclusive of VAT and taxes and less any discounts relating
directly to sales.
Cost of sales comprises costs concerning the purchase
of raw materials and consumables fewer discounts and
changes in inventories.
Other external costs comprise costs incurred for
distribution, sales, advertising, administration, premises,
loss on receivables, and operational leasing costs.
Staff costs
Staff costs include salaries and wages, including holiday
allowances, pensions, other social security costs, etc.
for staff members. Staff costs are fewer government
reimbursements.
Amortisation, depreciation, and
write-down for impairment
Amortisation, depreciation, and write-down for impairment
comprise depreciation on, amortisation of, and write-
down for impairment of intangible and tangible assets,
respectively.
Interest and other costs concerning loans to finance the
production of intangible assets and property, plant, and
equipment, and relating to production periods, are not
recognised in the cost of non-current assets.
Financial income and expenses
Financial income and expenses comprise interest,
realised and unrealised capital gains and losses
concerning financial assets and liabilities, amortisation
of financial assets and liabilities, additions, and
reimbursements under the Danish tax prepayment
scheme, etc. Financial income and expenses are
recognised in the income statement with the amounts
concerning the financial year.
Tax on profit/loss for the year
Tax for the year comprises the current income tax for the
year and changes in deferred tax and is recognised in the
income statement with the share attributable to the net
profit or loss for the year and directly in equity with the
share attributable to entries directly in equity.
The company is subject to Danish rules on compulsory
joint taxation of Danish group enterprises.
The current Danish income tax is allocated among the
jointly taxed companies proportional to their respective
taxable income (full allocation with reimbursement of tax
losses).
Income Statement
RELESYS ANNUAL REPORT 2021

PARENT INCOME STATEMENTS
REACH / ENGAGE / UNITE
Property, plant and equipment
Other fixtures and fittings, tools, and equipment are
measured at cost less accrued depreciation and write-
down for impairment.
The depreciable amount has less cost than any expected
residual value after the end of the useful life of the
asset. The amortisation period and the residual value
are determined at the acquisition date and reassessed
annually. If the residual value exceeds the carrying amount,
the depreciation is discontinued.
If the amortisation period or the residual value is changed,
the effect on amortisation will, in the future, be recognised
as a change in the accounting estimates.
The cost comprises acquisition cost and costs directly
associated with the acquisition until the time when the
asset is ready for use.
The cost of a total asset is divided into separate
components. These components are depreciated
separately when the useful lives of each individual
component differ. The amortisation period used is 3-5
years.
Minor assets with an expected useful life of less than 1 year
are recognised as costs in the income statement in the year
of acquisition.
Development projects
Developments projects comprise development projects
completed and in progress.
Development projects on clearly defined and identifiable
products and processes, for which the technical rate of
utilisation, adequate resources and a potential future
market or development opportunity in the enterprise can
be established, and where the intention is to manufacture,
market or apply the product or process in question, are
recognised as intangible assets. Other development costs
are recognised as costs in the income statement as incurred.
When recognising development projects as intangible assets,
an amount equaling the costs less deferred tax incurred is
taken to equity under reserve for development costs that
are reduced as the development projects are amortised and
written down.
The cost of development projects comprises costs such
as salaries and amortisation that are directly and indirectly
attributable to the development projects. Indirect production
costs in the form of indirectly attributable staff costs and
amortisation of intangible assets and depreciation of property,
plant, and equipment used in the development process are
recognised in cost based on time spent on each project.
Completed development projects are amortised on a
straight-line basis using their estimated useful lives which
are determined based on a specific assessment of each
development project. The amortisation period used is 5-7
years.
Leases
At their initial recognition in the statement of financial
position, leases concerning property, plant, and equipment
where the company holds all essential risks and
advantages associated with the proprietary right (finance
lease) are measured either at fair value or at the present
value of the future lease payments, whichever value is
lower. When calculating the present value, the discount
rate used is the internal rate of return of the lease or,
alternatively, the borrowing rate of the enterprise. Hereafter,
assets held under a finance lease are treated in the same
way as other similar property, plant, and equipment.
The capitalised residual lease commitment is recognised
in the statement of financial position as a liability other than
provisions, and the interest part of the lease is recognised
in the income statement for the term of the contract.
Leases are regarded as operating leases. Payments
in connection with operating leases and other lease
agreements are recognised in the income statement for
the term of the contract. The company’s total liabilities
concerning operating leases and lease agreements are
recognised under contingencies etc.
Impairment loss relating to
non-current assets
The carrying amounts of both intangible and tangible
assets, as well as equity investments in subsidiaries and
associates, are subject to annual impairment tests in
order to disclose any indications of impairment beyond
those expressed by amortisation and depreciation,
respectively.
If indications of impairment are disclosed, impairment
tests are carried out for each individual asset or group of
assets, respectively. Write-down for impairment is done
to the recoverable amount if this value is lower than the
carrying amount.
The recoverable amount is equal to the value of the net
selling price or the value in use, whichever is higher. The
value in use is determined as the present value of the
expected net cash flow derived from the use of the asset
or group of assets.
Previously recognised impairment losses are reversed
when conditions for impairment no longer exist.
Impairment relating to goodwill is not reversed.

Investments in subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost. Write-
down for impairment is done to the recoverable amount if
this value is lower than the carrying amount.
Deposits
Deposits are measured at amortised cost and represent
lease deposits etc.
Receivables
Receivables are measured at amortised cost which usually
corresponds to face value. In order to meet expected
losses, they are written down for impairment to the net
realisable value.
Prepayments and accrued income
Prepayments and accrued income recognised under
assets comprise incurred costs concerning the following
financial year.
Cash in hand and demand deposits
Cash in hand and demand deposits comprise cash at
bank and in hand.
Equity
DIVIDEND
Dividend expected to be distributed for the year is
recognised as a separate item under equity. Proposed
dividend is recognised as a liability at the time of approval
by the Annual General Meeting (time of declaration).
SHARE PREMIUM
Share premium consists of positive differences between
the nominal value of share capital and amount paid by
shareholders for newly issued shares. Share premium is a
distributed reserve.
TRANSLATION RESERVE
Exchange rate differences arising from the translation of
foreign-controlled entities into the presentation currency,
DKK, are recognised in other comprehensive income and
accumulated on a separate reserve within equity. The
accumulated amount will be reclassified to profit or loss
when the net investment the translation reserve relates to
is disposed of.
TRANSACTION COSTS RELATED
TO EQUITY ISSUANCE
Qualifying transaction costs incurred in connection with the
issuance of equity instruments are deducted from equity.
Where the qualifying transaction costs related to the listing
of existing and new shares, the part of the total transaction
costs deducted from equity are based on the ratio between
existing and new shares.
RESERVE FOR DEVELOPMENT COSTS
The reserve for development costs comprises recognised
development costs less related deferred tax liabilities. The
reserve cannot be used as dividend or for covering losses.
The reserve is reduced or dissolved if the recognised
development costs are amortised or abandoned. This is
done by direct transfer to the distributable reserves of the
equity.
Income tax and deferred tax
Current tax receivables and tax liabilities are recognised
in the statement of financial position with the amount
calculated on the basis of the expected taxable income for
the year adjusted for tax on previous years’ taxable income
and prepaid taxes. Tax receivables and tax liabilities are
offset to the extent that a legal set-off right exists and the
items are expected to be settled net or simultaneously.
According to the rules of joint taxation, Relesys A/S is
proportionally liable to pay the Danish tax authorities the
total income tax, including withholding tax on interest,
royalties, and dividends arising from the jointly taxed group
of companies.
Deferred tax is the tax on all temporary differences in the
carrying amount and tax base of assets and liabilities
measured on the basis of the planned application of the
asset and disposal of the liability, respectively.
Deferred tax assets, including the tax value of tax losses
eligible for carryforward, are recognised at their expected
realisable value, either by settlement against tax of future
earnings or by set-off in deferred tax liabilities within
the same legal tax unit. Any deferred net tax assets are
measured at net realisation value.
Deferred tax is measured on the basis of the tax rules and
tax rates of the applicable legislation at the reporting date
and prevailing when the deferred tax is expected to be
released as current tax.
Liabilities other than provisions
Other liabilities other than provisions are measured at
amortised cost which usually corresponds to the nominal
value.
Accruals and deferred income
Payments received concerning future income are
recognised under accruals and deferred income.

each development project.
It is Management’s assessment that the expected useful lives of the finite-lived assets, as well as the
expected future revenue streams from the assets, are sufficient to cover the value of recognised devel-
oped projects at the reporting date.
