ChristensenMika Petteri KuljuHarald Wolfgang JägerRalf Peter WinklerThe Board of Directors and the Executive Board have today discussed and approved the annual report of Semikron Danfoss Holding A/S for the financial year 1 January - 31 December 2023. The annual report has been prepared in accordance with the Danish Financial Statements Act. In our opinion, the Financial Statement give a true and fair view of the Company's financial position at 31 December 2023, and of the result of the Company's operations for the financial year 1 January - 31 December 2023. Further, in our opinion, the Management's review gives a fair review of the matters discussed in the Management's review. We recommend that the annual report be approved at the annual general meeting.To the shareholders of Semikron Danfoss Holding A/SIn our opinion, the Financial Statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company at 31 December 2023, and of the results of the Company’s operations for the financial year 1 January - 31 December 2023 in accordance with the Danish Financial Statements Act. We have audited the Financial Statements of Semikron Danfoss Holding A/S for the financial year 1 January - 31 December 2023, which comprise income statement, balance sheet, statement of changes in equity and notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies (“financial statements”).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 Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) and the additional ethical requirements applicable in Denmark, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.Management is responsible for Management’s Review. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover Management’s Review, and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read Management’s Review and, in doing so, consider whether Management’s Review is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. Moreover, it is our responsibility to consider whether Management’s Review provides the information required under the Danish Financials Statements Act. Based on the work we have performed, in our view, Management’s Review is in accordance with the Company´s Financial Statements and has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Danish Financial Statement Act. We did not identify any material misstatement in Management’s Review.Management is responsible for the preparation of the Company´s 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 financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, Management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern 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 about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs 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 financial statements. As part of an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:<table class="richtext-table"><thead><tr><th style="width:1.5703125px"></th><th style="width:11.140625px"></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>¤</td><td>Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

The 2023 Annual accounts are presented in tEUR. The general accounting policies set out below have been consistently applied in respect of the financial year and the comparative figures. Pursuant to §112 of the Danish Financial Statements Act consolidated accounts have not been prepared as part of the Annual Report for Semikron Danfoss Holding A/S, as the accounts for affiliated companies are included in the consolidated accounts for the parent company Danfoss A/S, Nordborg.The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost accounting model. Revenue is recognised in the profit and loss statement as it is earned. Moreover, the profit and loss statement includes all costs related to the year’s profit earning, including depreciation, amortisation and provisions, as well as reversals due to changes in accounting estimates of amounts previously recognised in the profit and loss statement. Assets are included in the balance sheet when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Company and the value of the asset can be measured reliably. Liabilities are included in the balance sheet when it is probable that the Company will have future economic benefits and the liability may be measured reliably. Upon initial recognition, assets and liabilities are recognised at cost. Subsequently, assets and liabilities are recognised as described for each item below. Some financial assets and liabilities are recognised at amortised cost, which implies a constant effective interest rate over the life of the asset or liability. Amortised cost is calculated as the original cost minus discounts and plus/minus the accumulated amortisation of the difference between the cost and the nominal amount. This spreads exchange losses and gains over time. Recognition and measurement shall take into account foreseeable losses and risks that occur prior to the preparation of the Annual Report, and that either confirm or deny existing conditions at the balance sheet date.During the year 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 at the date of payment are recognised in the income statement as financial income or financial expenses. Receivables and payables and other monetary items denominated in foreign currencies, which are not settled at the balance sheet date, are translated at the exchange rates at the balance sheet date. The difference between the exchange rates at the balance sheet date and the exchange rates at the transaction date is recognised in the income statement as financial income or financial expenses.Administrative expenses comprise audit expenses and other administration costs incurred during the year. Staff costs include wages and salaries.Financial income and expenses comprise interest income and expense, gains and losses on payables and transactions denominated in foreign currencies as well as surcharges and refunds under the on-account tax scheme, etc. Financial income and expenses are recognised in the income statement at the amounts concerning the financial year. Dividends from subsidiaries are measured at cost and recognised as financial income in the period when the dividends are declared.The Company is subject to the Danish tax rules on compulsory joint taxation with the corporate group. The Company is included in joint taxation from the date on which it is included in a group of consolidated accounts until the date on which it is removed from consolidation. Danfoss A/S is the administrative company for the joint taxation and consequently settles all corporation tax payments with the tax authorities. The current Danish corporation tax is allocated by settlement of joint taxation contribution between the jointly taxed companies in proportion to their taxable income. In connection with this, companies with tax deficit receive joint tax contributions from the Management Company. The annual tax, consisting of the current corporate tax for the year, the joint tax contribution for the year and the change in deferred tax, is recorded in the profit and loss statement for the part related to the profit for the year and directly in equity for the part related to the entries directly in equity. Investments in subsidiaries and associates are measured at cost. In case of indication of impairment, and impairment test is made. If the recoverable amount is lower than cost, investments are writen down to this lower value.Receivables are measured at amortised cost or a lower net realisable value, which corresponds to nominal value less impairment losses. Write-downs for losses are calculated on the basis of an individual assessment of the receivables.Proposed dividends are recognised as a liability at the date on which they are adopted at the annual general meeting (declaration date). The expected dividend payment for the year is disclosed as a separate item under equity. According to the joint taxation rules, the subsidiaries' liability to the tax authorities for their own company taxes is settled with the payment of the joint taxation contribution to the Management company. Current tax payable and receivable is recognised in the balance sheet as tax calculated on the taxable income, adjusted for tax on prior years' taxable income and for tax paid in advance. The joint taxation balance is reported as receivables or debt to group enterprises. 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. However, deferred tax is not recognised on temporary differences relating to goodwill non-deductible for tax purposes, office premises and other items where the temporary differences arise at the date of acquisition without affecting either profit/loss or taxable income. Deferred tax assets are recognised at the expected value of their utilisation within the foreseeable future, that is expected to be utilised within the joint-taxation; 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. 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. Changes in deferred tax as a result of changes in tax rates are recognised in the income statement.Financial liabilities are recognised at the date of borrowing at the net 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 the proceeds and the nominal value is recognised in the income statement over the term of the loan. Other liabilities are measured at net realisable value.41669900001999730-241642-9000056951903306931000-2816-91000-995-9000-1821-82000-1821-82000-82000-1821157478800015231250001574788000152312500015747880001523125000210505000186600021050500018660002105050001866000178529300015249910008800088000587966000587966000938676000936898000152673000015249520008800058796600093689800088000587966000936898000152495200088000587966000938676000258288000027500039000258563000390002585630003900017852930001524991000880005879660009345000001522554000-508000-508000335217933521791972000197200051320005132000Staff costs<table class="richtext-table"><thead><tr><th style="width:17.7109375px"></th><th style="width:0.85546875px"></th><th style="width:12.28515625px"></th><th style="width:1px"></th><th style="width:0.85546875px"></th><th style="width:1.5703125px"></th><th style="width:0.85546875px"></th><th style="width:0.85546875px"></th><th style="width:7.7109375px"></th><th style="width:0.85546875px"></th><th style="width:15.140625px"></th><th style="width:0.85546875px"></th><th style="width:13px"></th><th style="width:0.85546875px"></th><th style="width:13px"></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Wages/Salaries</td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td>200</td><td></td><td>0</td></tr></tbody></table><table class="richtext-table"><thead><tr><th style="width:17.7109375px"></th><th style="width:0.85546875px"></th><th style="width:12.28515625px"></th><th style="width:1px"></th><th style="width:0.85546875px"></th><th style="width:1.5703125px"></th><th style="width:0.85546875px"></th><th style="width:0.85546875px"></th><th style="width:7.7109375px"></th><th style="width:0.85546875px"></th><th style="width:15.140625px"></th><th style="width:0.85546875px"></th><th style="width:13px"></th><th style="width:0.85546875px"></th><th style="width:13px"></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Total staff costs</td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td>200</td><td></td><td>0</td></tr></tbody></table>Average number of employees is 0.
