and the Executive Board have today discussed and approved the annual report of Loxam A/S for the financial year 1 January – 31 December 2021.<br/>The annual report has been prepared in accordance with the Danish Financial Statements Act. <br/>In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the Company's assets, liabilities and financial position at 31 December 2021 and of the results of the Company's operations for the financial year 1 January – 31 December 2021.<br/>Further, in our opinion, the Management's review gives a fair review of the development in the Company's activities and financial matters, of the results for the year and of the Company's financial position.<br/>We recommend that the annual report be approved at the annual general meeting.Glostrup2022-05-31To the shareholders of Loxam A/SOpinionWe have audited the financial statements of Loxam A/S for the financial year 1 January – 31 December 2021 comprising income statement, balance sheet, statement of changes in equity and notes, including accounting policies. The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Danish Financial Statements Act.<br/>In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the Company's assets, liabilities and financial position at 31 December 2021 and of the results of the Company's operations for the financial year 1 January – 31 December 2021 in accordance with the Danish Financial Statements Act.Basis for OpinionWe conducted our audit in accordance with International Standard 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 financial statements" section of our report.<br/>We are independent of the Company in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for 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.Management is responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the Danish Financial Statements Act and for such internal control that Management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.<br/>In preparing the financial statements, Management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements unless Management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs and the additional requirements in Denmark will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements may arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.<br/>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<br/>— identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the company 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<br/>— obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control<br/>— evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by Management<br/>— conclude on the appropriateness of Management's use of the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are in-adequate, 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<br/>— evaluate the overall presentation, structure and contents of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that gives a true and fair view.<br/>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.Management is responsible for the Management's review.<br/>Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the Management's review, and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.<br/>In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the Management's review and, in doing so, consider whether the Management's review is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.<br/>Moreover, it is our responsibility to consider whether the Management's review provides the information required under the Danish Financial Statements Act.<br/>Based on the work we have performed, we conclude that the Management's review is in accordance with the financial statements and has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Danish Financial Statement Act. We did not identify any material misstatement of the Management's review.Copenhagen2022-05-31Jon BeckState Authorised Public Accountantmne32169Operating review<br/>Principal activities<br/>The Company's main activity consists of rental of earthmoving and construction equipment, site and office huts, mobile huts, lifts, trucks, etc. From all its branches, the Company supplies earthmoving and construction equipment to the public sector, the industry sector and private customers. The Company operates from 28 branches around Denmark, has 259 employees and a product range of more than 19,000 items of equipment. Please also see the Company's website, www.loxam.dk. <br/>Development in activities and financial position<br/>Profit for the year <br/>The revenue for the year increased by DKK 22,323 thousand compared to 2020, as a result from a strong demand in the construction sector, with high activity, and high demands of rental equipment.<br/>The profit before tax for 2021 amounted to DKK 37,763 thousand compared to a profit before tax of DKK 16,304 thousand in 2020. <br/>The development in revenue and profit before tax is satisfying, and better than expected in the 2020 management's review.<br/>Investments<br/>The investments in tangible fixed assets in 2021 amounted to DKK 149,345 thousand. <br/>Future expectation<br/>The Company expects the market conditions to remain at the 2021 level in the construction sectors. The revenue and profit is expected to be in the same line as in the 2021 results.<br />Anti-corruption and bribery<br/>Our policy on anti-corruption and bribery is aligned with the Group's commitment within Ethics. To ensure continuous compliance with the policy, all the branches are updated on recent amendments to the policy. The full policy for Ethics within the organization can be found on following link: <br/>https://assets.ctfassets.net/3nvw8giizhxj/23Jtfbjjvn4jatZZ8q1R9P/90817183b6ea7382b7449db5bbe3785b/CharteEthique-GroupeLoxam.pdf<br/>The Code of Ethics is fully implemented. All employees are informed and have received the Code of Ethics. Also, a whistle-blower function is implemented and has been communicated to all employees.<br/>The Code of Ethics contains 5 main themes. <br/>1) Corporate social responsibility<br/>2) Respect for and protection of people<br/>3) Ethics for customers and partners<br/>4) Protection and proper use of the Group's assets<br/>5) Information on, control of and monitoring of the application of the Code of Ethics<br/>The main risks related to our activities include employees and suppliers' violation of our Code of Ethics, anti-corruption policies, and potential and financial consequences hereof. In order to limit such risks, we provide annual trainings to both current and new employees, especially in the finance team this is main focus area to be trained to spot any possible fraud. Due to our Code of Ethics, we must always ensure compliance with <br/><br/>the law, and we have therefore procedures to secure against any offenses. If any breach of law happens, the cooperation stops immediately, and the relevant authorities is informed.<br/>We are committed to continuing to fight corruption and bribery in our day-to-day interactions with customers and suppliers. <br/>In 2021, there was reported zero cases reported under the anti corruption and bribery code of conduct<br/>Human rights<br/>We are continuing our efforts to improve safety for both our employees and our customers. In this connection, we have implemented specific safety rules that should be followed. Safety is definitely one of our main focus areas, and also the main risk within the human rights. It is very important for the employees to know, that Loxam is a safe place to work. Safety is monitored by the Management and HSE team and Branch Visits is staged to secure the safety. After internal considerations on the need for implementing a human rights policy and continuously following strongly imposed regulations in Denmark, we have assessed that there is no need to implement an individual company specific policy on human rights. Consequently, at the current stage no official policy has been developed in regards to human rights.<br/>Social and Staff matters<br/>Aligned with Group, our corporate culture is a source of cohesion and commitment from all of our employees and is founded on cordial relations, enhancing a sense of belonging, and increasing team motivation. Loxam A/S has always been keen to develop knowledge and training internally. <br/>We provide annual trainings to further develop the employees' technical skills. One of the biggest risks is the employees' retention, which we manage through our development trainings and employees' satisfactory surveys that guide us to improve ourselves as employer and continue delivering value to our employees. <br/>In 2021 there was conducted a Great Place To Work survey both globally and locally in Loxam group, and the results of the survey will be analyzed by the Management team, in close corporation the local ambassador team in Denmark. The ambassador program in Denmark was launched after the last Great Place To Work Survey back in 2019, and consists of a wide sample of employees meeting quaterly to voice the employees perspective in all matters concerning the employee well being to top management. <br/>The ambassador team has several initiated tasks for 2022, after visiting all branches and talking to all employees within the organization during Q4 2021. One of the biggest tasks was to work closely with our supplier for working clothes, to secure the staffs safety and well-being.<br/>Climate and environment<br/>Loxam Denmark has the ambition to live up to the applicable rules and regulations and support a sustainable development of society by seeking to minimize its environmental impact and offer environmentally friendly products and solutions to its clients.<br/>In Loxam, we practice waste separation in order to minimize our environmental impact from waste disposal. Action plans are implemented to ensure that all waste is sorted by nature so that all waste can be recycled. Waste per branch is registered via the taker in an environmental report to the local authorities, divided by volume and amount. All of our suppliers with the waste industry are required by us to be ISO 14001 certified.<br/>In 2021, Loxam Denmark realized an energy consumption in line with the level realized in 2020.<br/>One of the biggest risks is for our products/solutions to have increased negative impact on the environment and climate. In order to manage that, we continuously strive to development innovative technologies, which can handle the ever pressing environmental and climate challenges. This focus is increasing, and together with other companies in the group we are working on new solutions and products in order to minimize the impact of the climate and local environment on building sites. As an example, we have invested in climate-friendly machines in our Rental Fleet to ensure the least impact on the climate.<br/>Moreover, Loxam is subject to the Danish Executive Order no. 1212 of 19 November 2014 requiring an examination on the energy consumption audit of production managers (these have been conducted so that the consumption is divided by nature). In accordance with the guidelines of the Danish Executive Order, potential savings are calculated. Based on the report action plans for savings are implemented (example is changed to LED light, updating of heating systems, etc.). <br/>For future investments, Loxam Denmark has set up a target, that at least 50% of new investments in rental fleet are zero emission machines, and furthermore all new machines with diesel engines will be in the stage V in the European Emission Standard.<br />Data ethics in compliance with section 99 d of the Danish Financial Statements Act<br/>In Loxam, we work with data ethics operationally through internal procedures. All data, managed by Loxam, is handled after the given legislations for data handling. <br/>Loxam collects, and use collected data solely for the purpose for which it was intended, which is fully described in our policy for handling personal data on our website. <br/>Due to the fact, that the employees is trained in our code of conduct, and the given legislations for handling personal data, no data ethic policy has been drawed.Our company operates as an asset owner of entrepreneur machinery which is rented out to the professional segment for both short and medium term rental. Our model means we operate a full range of rental equipment with a full range of services and repair workshops servicing the professional building sectors needs.<br/>For our company, CSR is an essential part of what we care about and what we do. LOXAM's development has always hinged on the requirement to meet the expectations of our stakeholders, and especially our customers. This commitment has resulted in us adopting the ISO 9001 quality standard, almost 20 years ago, which was later followed by the ISO 14001 environmental management standard, which aims to significantly curb our business' impact on the environment. Getting both certifications at European level is the result of a policy combining excellence, quality and respect for the environment, which the Group has been implementing for several years. <br/>The certifier SGS has assessed our CSR policy, resulting in the Group attaining level three in the ISO 26000 standard. <br/>Our commitment to CSR is built on the three major pillars:<br/>— Supporting the UN Global Compact and making progress every year on the application of its 10 universal principles by taking part in the Global Compact.<br/>— Applying the Code of Ethics, which covers the ethical issues related to our business sectors.<br/>— Developing a governance and CSR performance framework as part of the ISO 26000 standard by engaging all stakeholders.The Board of Loxam Denmark has three representatives who have been chosen in relation to their experience within the rental industry, and they are senior managers of the Loxam Group. <br/>Loxam Denmark has acknowledged the changes in the Danish Financial Statements Acts regarding an equal distribution of gender among Board members and senior management. This will be considered, aside from the professional experience, when a position becomes available, with the aim to increase the female representation to an equal distribution. Currently we have three members as part of our Board of Directors, which are all males. As there has been no change in the BOD we have not progressed further, but it remains our target for the year to come. Therefore, we have set a target of one female to be hired in the Board of Directors by 2023.<br/>The Company highly values employees' diversity and hires employees on the basis of their skills, irrespective of their gender, race, religion and culture. Recruitment processes support diversification for both Management positions as well as other positions. <br/>When a position in management becomes available, and we begin a new recruitment process, we always encourages every candidate who finds the job relevant, to apply for the position regardless of gender and age. <br/>When we use recruiting agencies/head hunters we specifically ask to have female candidates presented, and if we have two equal candidates we will select the less represented gender to fulfill the role.<br/>At management level we have 4 female managers out of a total of 37 and even though the numbers are low we strive to increase the level in the future. The annual report of Loxam A/S for 2021 has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applying to reporting class C large entities under the Danish Financial Statements Act.<br/>The accounting policies are unchanged compared to last year.<br/><br/>Business combinations<br/>When acquiring new entities, the purchase method is applied under which identifiable assets and liabilities are measured at fair value at the date of acquisition. Restructuring costs recognised in the acquirer at the acquisition date that are not a part of the acquisition are included in the pre-acquisition balance sheet and thus the determination of goodwill. Restructuring that is adopted after the acquisition is recognised in the income statement. The tax effect of revaluations is recognised as deferred tax.<br/>Positive differences (goodwill) between cost and the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities acquired, including restructuring provisions, are recognised as intangible assets, and amortised systematically in the income statement based on an individual assessment of the useful life. Negative goodwill is recognised as income in the income statement at the acquisition date when the usual conditions for recognition of income are met. <br/>Goodwill and negative goodwill from acquired entities may be adjusted until 12 months after the acquisition date.<br/>Foreign currency translation<br/>On initial recognition, transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rates at the transaction date. Foreign exchange differences arising between the exchange rates at the transaction date and the date of payment are recognised in the income statement as financial income or financial expenses.<br/>Receivables, payables and other monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rates at the balance sheet date. The difference between the exchange rates at the balance sheet date and the date at which the receivable or payable arose or was recognised in the latest financial statements is recognised in the income statement as financial income or financial expenses.Revenue<br/>Revenue from equipment rental is recognised in the income statement in accordance with the completed-contract method. Cut-off is made for pre-invoicing. Revenue is calculated excluding VAT and other duties.<br/>All discounts granted are recognised as a deduction of revenue.<br/>Direct costs<br/>Direct costs include costs, which are directly related to the activity such as purchases of products for sale, rehired equipment and transport costs.<br/>Other external costs<br/>Other external costs comprise costs relating to sales, marketing, administration, office premises, loss on debtors, operating leases, etc.<br/>Staff costs<br/>Employee costs include wages, salaries, remuneration, pensions and other employee costs paid to the Company's employees.<br/>Amortisation and depreciation<br/>Amortisation and depreciation include amortisation of intangible assets and depreciation of property, plant and equipment and impairment write-downs of these assets.<br/>Other operating income<br/>Other operating income comprises items secondary to the activities of the Company, including gains on the disposal of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment.<br/>Other operating costs<br/>Other operating costs comprise items secondary to the activities of the entities, including losses on the disposal of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment.<br/>Financial income and expenses<br/>Financial income and expenses comprise interest income and expense, financial costs regarding finance leases, gains and losses on payables and transactions denominated in foreign currencies, amortisation of financial assets and liabilities as well as surcharges and refunds under the on-account tax scheme, etc.<br/>Tax on profit/loss for the year<br/>Tax for the year comprises current tax for the year and changes in deferred tax, including changes in tax rates. The tax expense relating to the profit/loss for the year is recognised in the income statement at the amount attributable to the profit/loss for the year and directly in equity at the amount attributable to entries directly in equity.Intangible assets<br/>Goodwill<br/>Goodwill is amortised on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life determined on the basis of Management's experience within the individual business areas. The amortisation period is 20 years.<br/>Property, plant and equipment<br/>Land and buildings, plant and machinery and fixtures and fittings, tools and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. <br/>Cost comprises the purchase price and any costs directly attributable to the acquisition until the date on which the asset is available for use. Indirect production overheads and borrowing costs are not recognised in cost.<br/>Where individual components of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items, which are depreciated separately.<br/>The basis of depreciation is cost less any projected residual value after the end of the useful life. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life. The estimated useful lives are as follows:<br/>Land and buildings 25 years<br/>Rental equipment 3-15 years<br/>Fixtures and fittings, tools and equipment 2-10 years<br/>The useful life and residual value are reassessed annually. Changes are treated as accounting estimates, and the effect on depreciation is recognised prospectively.<br/>Gains and losses on the disposal of property, plant and equipment are stated as the difference between the selling price, less selling costs and the carrying amount at the date of disposal. Gains and losses are recognised in the income statement as other operating income or other operating costs, respectively.<br/>Impairment of fixed assets<br/>The carrying amount of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment as well as equity investments in group entities and associates is subject to an annual test for indications of impairment other than the decrease in value reflected by depreciation or amortisation.<br/>Impairment tests are conducted of individual assets or groups of assets when there is an indication that they may be impaired. Write-down is made to the recoverable amount if this is lower than the carrying amount.<br/>The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's net selling price and its value in use. The value in use is determined as the present value of the forecast net cash flows from the use of the asset or the group of assets, including forecast net cash flows from the disposal of the asset or the group of assets after the end of the useful life.<br/>Previously recognised write-downs are reversed when the basis for the write-down no longer exists. <br/>Leases<br/>On initial recognition, leases for fixed assets that transfer substantially all risks and rewards incident to ownership to the Company (finance leases) are recognised in the balance sheet at the lower of fair value and the net present value of future lease payments. When the net present value is calculated, the interest rate implicit in the lease or the incremental borrowing rate is used as the discount factor. Assets held under finance leases are subsequently depreciated as the Company's other fixed assets.<br/>The capitalised lease obligation is recognised in the balance sheet as a liability at amortised cost, allowing the interest element of the lease payment to be recognised in the income statement over the term of the lease.<br/>All other leases are operating leases. Payments relating to operating leases and other leases are recognised in the income statement over the term of the lease. The Company's total obligation relating to operating leases and other leases is disclosed as contractual obligations and contingencies, etc.<br/>Inventories<br/>Inventories are measured at cost in accordance with the weighted average cost method. Where the net realisable value is lower than cost, inventories are written down to this lower value.<br/>Receivables<br/>Receivables are measured at amortised cost.<br/>Write-down is made for bad debt losses where there is an objective indication that a receivable has been impaired.<br/>Write-downs are calculated as the difference between the carrying amount of receivables and the present value of expected cash flows.<br/>Prepayments <br/>Prepayments comprise prepayment of costs incurred relating to subsequent financial years.<br/>Equity<br/>Dividends<br/>The expected dividend payment for the year is disclosed as a separate item under equity.<br/>Corporation tax and deferred tax<br/>The Company is jointly taxed with Loxam Denmark Holding A/S.<br/>Current joint taxation contribution payable is recognised in the balance sheet as tax computed on the taxable income for the year adjusted for tax on the taxable income of prior years and for tax paid on account.<br/>Deferred tax is measured using the balance sheet liability method on all temporary differences between the carrying amount and the tax value of assets and liabilities measured on the planned use of the asset or settlement of the liability, respectively. However, deferred tax is not recognised on temporary differences relating to items where temporary differences arise at the date of acquisition without affecting either profit/loss or taxable income. <br/>Deferred tax assets, including the tax value of tax loss carryforwards, are recognised at the expected value of their utilisation within the foreseeable future; either as a set-off against tax on future income or as a set-off against deferred tax liabilities in the same legal tax entity. Any deferred net assets are measured at net realisable value.<br/>Deferred tax is measured in accordance with the tax rules and at the tax rates applicable at the balance sheet date when the deferred tax is expected to crystallise as current tax.

Provisions are recognised when, as a result of past events, the Company has a legal or a constructive obligation, and it is probable that there may be outflow of resources embodying economic benefits to settle the obligation. Provisions are measured at value in use.<br/>Liabilities other than provisions<br/>Financial liabilities are recognised at the date of borrowing at cost, corresponding to the proceeds received less transaction costs paid. In subsequent periods, the financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost, corresponding to the capitalised value using the effective interest rate. Accordingly, the difference between cost and the nominal value is recognised in the income statement over the term of the loan together with interest expenses.<br/>Finance lease obligation comprise the capitalised residual lease obligation of finance leases.<br/>Other liabilities are measured at amortised cost, which usually corresponds to nominal value. <br/>Prepayments and deferred income<br/>Deferred income comprises payments received regarding income in subsequent years.<br/>Segment information<br/>No information about segments is shown as the Company only has rental activities in Denmark.Pursuant to section 86(4) of the Danish Financial Statements Act, no cash flow statement has been prepared.512580000490257000522336000562859000455749000490257000-14363000-16030000-19551000-19986000-127340005212600032334000211400003196800037785000323340002831100011581000-36510000732900018773000115810002600000002311000115810002311000115810002600000006283070005789820006303740006972970006865060005789820004910900020799800092170001332700024623000207980004340000434000043400004340000164580004877000187690001645800000260000000207980009217000Fixed assetsFixed assetsFixed assetsFixed assetsFixed assetsCurrent assetsCurrent assetsCurrent assetsCurrent assetsCurrent assetsShare capitalShare capitalShare capitalShare capitalShare capitalProvisionsProvisionsProvisionsProvisionsProvisionsNon-current liabilities other than provisionsNon-current liabilities other than provisionsNon-current liabilities other than provisionsNon-current liabilities other than provisionsNon-current liabilities other than provisionsCurrent liabilities other than provisionsCurrent liabilities other than provisionsCurrent liabilities other than provisionsCurrent liabilities other than provisionsCurrent liabilities other than provisionsAcquisition of property, plant and equipmentAcquisition of property, plant and equipmentAcquisition of property, plant and equipmentAcquisition of property, plant and equipmentAcquisition of property, plant and equipmentCurrent ratioCurrent ratioCurrent ratioCurrent ratioCurrent ratio516436000467098000501370000548967000540082000111871000111884000129004000148330000146424000434000043400004340000434000043400004086400033576000303480002710500023114000170465000243499000309688000412348000114872000367869000281109000281121000244517000523897000149345000724530001049210001323850003209930002592552642772362550.5300.5100.4900.4700.4500.1000.0700.0400.0600.0800.0800.0400.0100.0200.0400.8100.770-3.2400.3900.6800.3000.4000.4600.6100.280The financial ratios have been calculated as follows:<br/><br/>Gross margin<br/>Gross profit x 100/<br/>Revenue<br/><br/>Operating margin<br/>Operating profit x 100/<br/>Revenue<br/><br/>Current ratio<br/>Current assets x 100/<br/>Short-term debt<br/><br/>Equity ratio<br/>Equity/<br/>Total assets<br/><br/>Return on equity<br/>Profit from odinary activities after tax x 100/<br/>Average 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 and salaries 129,010 117,608<br/>Pensions 9,615 9,098<br/>Other social security costs 2,229 1,567<br/>Other employee costs 896 867<br/> <br/> 141,750 129,140Remuneration for management is not disclosed in accordance with § 98b in the Danish Financial Statements Act.
