INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Shareholders of PANEVĖŽIO STATYBOS TRESTAS AB
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of AB PANEVĖŽIO STATYBOS TRESTAS (here-
inafter the ‘Company’), which comprise the statement of financial position as of 31 December 2022, the
statements of comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity for the year then ended, and notes
to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying Company’s financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2022 and its financial performance and its cash flows
for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the
European Union.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities
under those standards are further described in the ‘Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial
Statements’ section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the International
Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) (IESBA Code)
together with the requirements of the Law on Audit of the financial statements of the Republic of Lithuania
that are relevant to the audit in the Republic of Lithuania, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities
in accordance with the Law on Audit of the financial statements of the Republic of Lithuania and the IESBA
Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our opinion.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our
audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our
audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a
separate opinion on these matters. Below is the description of each key audit matter and our response to it.
1. Key audit matter Revenue recognition for constructions contracts in progress
The Company‘s main revenue stream comes from large long-term construction contracts. As disclosed in
Notes 2, 3.14 and 19, the Company recognizes revenue from the customer specific construction contracts in
progress as of the year-end based on the estimated stage of completion of the projects, which is assessed
by reference to the proportion of total costs incurred through the reporting date compared to total costs of
the contract estimated by management.
This matter was significant to our audit because recognition of revenue for the reporting year is highly de-
pendent on the judgment exercised by the management in assessing the completeness and accuracy of
forecast costs to complete the construction contract and changes in these judgments and related estimates
throughout a contract life can result in material adjustments to revenue and margin recognised on contracts,
which can be either positive or negative.
How the Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Furthermore, we have considered the adequacy of the disclosures in Note 27 of the financial statements on
this matter.
Our audit procedures, among others, included the following:
- Updating our understanding of the Company’s revenue recognition process, including the model
used for the revenue recognition in relation to the contracts in progress, and controls in relation to
long-term construction contracts. We also assessed how the management makes the accounting

estimate (determines the stage of completion of the projects) and the accuracy, completeness and
relevance of the data on which it is based as further described below.
- Testing the Company’s key controls over allocation of revenues and costs to a specific contract.
- Consideration of the accuracy of management’s forecasts for potential management bias by com-
paring the historical financial performance of selected contracts completed in 2022 with the total cost
estimates and forecasted margins for those contracts used for revenue recognition as of 31 Decem-
ber 2021.
- Considering whether all material loss making contracts were properly identified and accounted for;
- Selecting a sample of contracts with the greatest potential impact on the Company’s financial state-
ments for the year ended 31 December 2022, considering both quantitative and qualitative criteria,
such as significant margin changes, loss-making contracts or projects which are unique in their na-
ture, for additional testing as outlined below.
For the sample of contracts selected, we have considered the adequacy of the management’s estimate on
the amount of revenue to be recognized in the financial statements by performing the following procedures,
among others:
- comparing the contracts signed with customers against the total contract value estimates included in
the management’s calculations;
- considering the management’s estimated costs required to complete the contracts by reference to
our understanding of the contract scope and the management’s contractscost budgets and our
inquiries of contract managers;
- tracing costs incurred up to date as per management’s estimation of the stage of completion to the
costs included in the statement of comprehensive income, considering also whether they are reflec-
tive of the actual progress of the work and are eligible items;
- considering the reasonableness of the margins recognised by the Company for the projects in pro-
gress taking into account our understanding of the contract scope and the historical performance of
the Company;
- and tracing actual contract revenues accounted for in the statement of comprehensive income to the
estimation of the management of the amounts of revenue to be recognized for the contracts in pro-
gress based on the assessment of their stage of completion.
Finally, we considered the adequacy of the disclosures about the matter in Notes 2 and 19 of the financial
statements.
2. Key audit matter Impairment assessment of investments into subsidiaries and receivables
from subsidiaries
As disclosed in Notes 16, 17, 19 and 29 in the financial statements, the carrying value of the Company’s
investments into subsidiaries amounts to EUR 5.98 million and the total balance of receivables from these
subsidiaries, including loans granted and interest accrued, amounted to EUR 7.71 million as at 31 December
2022 (EUR 5.98 million and EUR 7.76 million, respectively, as at 31 December 2021). The management’s
assessment of the recoverable amount of investments into subsidiaries and impairment losses on receiva-
bles from them, including loans granted and accrued interest, requires estimation and judgement around the
assumptions used, including the recoverable value of real estate projects under development by subsidiaries
as disclosed in Notes 2 and 16. Changes to these assumptions could lead to material changes in the esti-
mated recoverable amount of investments and impairment losses on loans and receivables.
This matter was important to our audit due to significance of the amounts involved and high degree of related
management estimation.
We, among other audit procedures, have obtained an understanding (including understanding of the as-
sumptions and methods), applied by the management in impairment test of investments in subsidiaries and
receivables from subsidiaries. We considered the completeness of the potential impairment indicators iden-
tified by the management by comparing the carrying value of the Company’s investments into each subsidiary

with the Company’s share in the net assets of the subsidiary at their book value and discussing with the
management their performance and their outlook.
We also considered the assumptions and methodologies used by the management to determine the recov-
erable amounts of the investments in subsidiaries and estimated credit losses (ECL) of accounts receivable
and loans granted.
We also considered the subsidiaries’ ability to repay the amounts due to the Company by examining their
liquidity position based on their financial statements as well as their future cash flow forecasts.
Finally, we considered the adequacy of the Company’s disclosures included in Notes 2, 16 and 17 about the
significant assumptions used in the estimation of recoverable values and the results of the impairment as-
sessment.
3. Key audit matter Assessment of impairment of trade receivables and contract assets
As at 31 December 2022, the Company had non-current and current trade accounts receivable and contract
assets balance amounting to EUR 0.11 million and EUR 18.45 million respectively, reported in the statement
of financial position as disclosed in Notes 4 and 19 of the financial statements.
The estimation of the expected credit losses (ECL) as required by IFRS 9 Financial instruments involves
significant management judgement. As disclosed in Note 2, specific factors management considers include
analysis of the historical credit losses, consideration of economic developments and other subjective risk
factors related to the specific debtor or debtors’ group.
This matter is significant to our audit due to materiality of the amounts as these receivables constitute over
35.0% of the total assets of the Company in the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2022 and
high level of management judgement involved in the assessment of their impairment.
How the Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures, among others, included the following:
- We gained an understanding of the management’s process of estimation of impairment of trade
receivables and contract assets. This included the consideration whether the model used to de-
velop the estimate is appropriate and assessment whether the impairment accounting policy ap-
plied by the Company is in line with the requirements of IFRS 9 Financial instruments.
We also assessed how the management made the accounting estimate and the accuracy, completeness
and relevance of the data on which it is based as follows:
- For receivables and contract assets assessed by the management for impairment individually, we
have discussed with the management selected individual balances, including management’s anal-
ysis of expected recoverability of these balances, and also considered independently the indica-
tions of potential understatement of ECL by assessing the ageing of the receivables and amounts
collected after the date of the statement of financial position.
- For receivables assessed by the management using the expected credit loss rate matrix, we have
assessed the key estimates made by the management in developing the ECL matrix, including
historical default rate information and forward-looking information as of 31 December 2022. We
tested the correctness of aging of the receivables by agreeing the date to the invoices issued for
selected items and verified the arithmetical accuracy of the management’s calculation of impair-
ment.
Furthermore, we have assessed the adequacy of the disclosure in the financial statements on this matter
(Notes 2, 4 and 19).

Other information
Other information consists of the information included in the Company’s and Consolidated Annual Report
(hereinafter the “Company”), including the Corporate Governance Report, the Remuneration Report and the
Corporate Social Responsibility Report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Management is responsible for the other information presentation.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form
of assurance conclusion thereon, except as indicated below.
In connection to our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and,
in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or
our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work
we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are
required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
In addition, our responsibility is to consider whether information included in the Company’s Annual Report,
including Corporate Governance Statement and Remuneration Report, for the financial year for which the
financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements and whether the Company’s
Annual Report, including Corporate Governance Statement and Remuneration Report, has been prepared
in compliance with applicable legal requirements. Based on the work carried out in the course of audit of
financial statements, in our opinion, in all material respects:
The information given in the Company’s annual report, including Corporate Governance Statement and
Remuneration Report, for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent
with the financial statements; and
The Company’s annual report, including Corporate Governance Statement and Remuneration Report,
has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Law of the Republic of Lithuania on
Reporting by Undertakings.
It is also our responsibility check whether the Corporate Social Responsibility Report has been provided. If
we identify that the Corporate Social Responsibility Report has not been provided, we are required to report
that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accord-
ance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union, and for such in-
ternal 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 unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease oper-
ations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
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 con-
ducted in accordance with ISAs 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 in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional
scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud
or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that
is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material mis-
statement 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 effective-
ness of the Company’s internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting esti-
mates and related disclosures made by management.
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and,
based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or condi-
tions 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 inadequate, to modify our
opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report.
However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclo-
sures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a man-
ner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope
and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control
that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters
that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were
of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key
audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public
disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not
be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be ex-
pected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements
In accordance with the decision made by the General Meeting of Shareholders on 29 July 2021, we have
been chosen to carry out the audit of the Company’s financial statements for the first time. Our appointment
to carry out the audit of the Company’s financial statements in accordance with the decision made by the
General Meeting of Shareholders is renewed every two years and the period of total uninterrupted engage-
ment is two years.
We confirm that our opinion in the section ‘Opinion’ is consistent with the additional Audit report which we
have submitted to the Company and its Audit Committee.
We confirm that to the best of our knowledge and belief, services provided to the Company are consistent
with the requirements of the law and regulations and do not comprise non-audit services referred to in Article
5(1) of the Regulation (EU) No 537/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council.
In the course of audit, we have not provided any other services except for audit and translation of the Com-
pany’s financial statements.

Report on the Compliance of the Format of Financial Statements with the Requirements of the Euro-

with regard to regulatory technical standards on the specification of a single electronic reporting format (here-
inafter the “ESEF Regulation”). Pursuant to these requirements, the Company’s financial statements must

These financial statements are the Company’s separate financial statements. The Company is also prepar-
ing the Company and its subsidiaries’ consolidated financial statements. Set of consolidated financial state-
ments is kept at the Company’s registered office at P. Puzino st. 1, LT-35173 Panevėžys, the Republic of
Lithuania, and published on website www.pst.lt. The information about the subsidiaries’ activities is pre-
sented in Note 16.
The shareholders of the Company have a statutory right to either approve these financial statements or not
approve them and require a new set of financial statements to be prepared. The Company’s management
authorised these financial statements on 4 April 2023.
2. Basis of Preparation
Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Stand-
ards as adopted by the European Union (hereinafter “IFRS”).
Basis of preparation of the financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for land and buildings
measured using the revaluation model and investment property measured at fair value.
Functional and presentation currency
The financial statements are presented in euro, the national currency of the Republic of Lithuania, which
is the Company’s functional currency.
Due to rounding of certain amounts to thousand, figures in the tables may differ. Such rounding bias is
immaterial in these financial statements.
Judgements and estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires management to make judge-
ments and estimates that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and under-
lying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in
the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
Information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty in applying accounting policies that have a
significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements and have a significant risk of caus-
ing material adjustments to the financial statements in the next financial year is included in the following
notes:

2. Basis of preparation (continued)
Note 12: deferred taxes recognition. Deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that
taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences could be utilised.
Note 13: fair value of land and buildings which are measured using the revaluation model, useful lives
of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. The Company assesses the useful lives of prop-
erty, plant and equipment and intangible assets at least once a year (Note 3.3). Revaluations are carried
out regularly ensuring that the carrying amount of land and buildings do not significantly differ from
their fair values as at reporting date. The Company’s real estate appraisal was carried out when preparing
these financial statements,
Note 16: measurement of recoverable amounts of investments in subsidiaries. A key factor in estimating
the recoverable amounts of the investment in subsidiaries is the recoverability of ongoing construction
projects and other assets of subsidiaries. Therefore, the Company engaged external appraisers to esti-
mate the fair values of these projects based on discounted cash flow or comparable price technique, the
Company also relied on the Purchase and Sale Agreement signed with a third party after the reporting
date and related information.
Notes 19 and 26: impairment of trade receivables and estimation of revenue from contracts with cus-
tomers and contract assets as well as contract liabilities based on the stage of completion of the con-
struction contracts. The accuracy of the recognition of revenue on contracts in progress is highly de-
pendent on the judgement exercised by management in assessing the completeness and accuracy of
planned costs (budget) as it is the key assumption in the assessment of revenue, contract assets and
contract liabilities based on the stage of completion of the contracts in progress. Estimating the recov-
erable amounts of receivables is a process, which requires significant management judgement and esti-
mates, particularly those that are related to expected credit losses assessment based on the analysis of
the historical credit losses, considerations of future factors and other subjective risk factors related to
the specific debtor or debtors’ group. Estimates were applied in assessing the amounts to be collected
and their timing.
Note 17: loans granted are classified as long-term or short-term. Additionally, the impairment testing
requires the management to make an assessment of the significance of increase in credit risk since initial
recognition, which is performed by the management considering the liquidity situation of subsidiaries
taking into account their financial statements and cash flows forecasts.
Note 25: the Company estimates warranty provision on a monthly basis having regard to monthly rev-
enue. Warranty provision is being estimated by taking into account revenue, actual warranty expenses
incurred in previous periods, its proportion against actual sales, statutory term of warranty and historical
information.
Note 28: The management judgements are to predict the outcome of litigations. Provisions are not rec-
ognised in the financial statements as based on the management judgement it is more likely than not,
that the Company will win the legal disputes mentioned in the Note 28, or it is not possible to assess
reliably the possible outcome of the contingency at the moment.
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
During the reporting period, the Company adopted new standards and amendments to existing standards
and their interpretations, which are relevant to the activities and effective for annual periods beginning on
or after 1 January 2022.
(a) Standards, their amendments and interpretations effective for annual periods beginning on or
after 1 January 2022.
IFRS 3 Business Combinations; IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment; IAS 37 Provisions, Contin-
gent Liabilities and Contingent Assets as well as Annual Improvements 2018-2020 (Amendments)
(all issued on 14 May 2020 with effective date of 1 January 2022)
The IASB has issued narrow-scope amendments to the IFRS Standards as follows:
IFRS 3 Business Combinations (Amendments) update a reference in IFRS 3 to the Conceptual Frame-
work for Financial Reporting without changing the accounting requirements for business combinations.
IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment (Amendments) prohibit a company from deducting from the cost
of property, plant and equipment amounts received from selling items produced while the company is
preparing the asset for its intended use. Instead, a company will recognise such sales proceeds and related
cost in profit or loss of the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets (Amendments) specify which costs a
company includes in determining the cost of fulfilling a contract for the purpose of assessing whether a
contract is onerous.
Annual Improvements 2018–2020 make minor amendments to IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of Interna-
tional Financial Reporting Standards, IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, IAS 41 Agriculture and the Illustra-
tive Examples accompanying IFRS 16 Leases
These amendments are effective in European Union for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1
January 2022. The management assessed that these amendments has no material impact on the financial
statements.
(b) Standards issued but not yet effective and not early adopted and their amendments
New standards, amendments and interpretations that are not mandatory for reporting period beginning on
1 January 2022 and have not been early adopted when preparing these financial statements are presented
below:
IFRS 17 and IFRS 4: the Deferral of Effective Dates of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 for Insurers (Amend-
ments) (issued on 25 June 2020 with effective date of 1 January 2023).
The amendments to IFRS 17 are effective, retrospectively, for annual periods beginning on or after 1 Jan-
uary 2023, with earlier application permitted. The amendments aim at helping companies implement the
Standard. Overall, the amendments are designed to reduce costs by simplifying some requirements in the
standard; make it easier to explain financial performance; and ease transition by deferring the effective date
of the standard to 2023 and by providing additional relief to reduce the effort required when applying IFRS
17 for the first time.
The amendments to IFRS 4 change the fixed expiry date for the temporary exemption in IFRS 4 Insurance
Contracts from applying IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, so that entities would be required to apply IFRS 9
for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023.
The management has assessed that these amendments will not have any impact on the Company’s financial
statements.
IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts (issued on 18 May 2017 with effective date of 1 January 2023).
The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021 with earlier application
permitted if both IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and IFRS 9 Financial Instruments have
also been applied. In its meeting in March 2020, IASB decided to defer the effective date of the standard
to 2023. IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts establishes principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation
and disclosure of insurance contracts issued. It also requires similar principles to be applied to reinsurance
contracts held and investment contracts with discretionary participation features issued. The objective is to
ensure that entities provide relevant information in a way that faithfully represents those contracts. This
information gives a basis for users of financial statements to assess the effect that contracts within the scope
of IFRS 17 have on the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of an entity.
This Standard will not have any impact on the financial position or performance of the Company as insur-
ance services are not provided.
IAS 12 Income taxes: Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction
(Amendments) (issued on 7 May 2021 with effective date of 1 January 2023).
Under the amendments, the initial recognition exception does not apply to transactions that, on initial
recognition, give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. The amendments are effective
for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023 with earlier application permitted.
The management has not yet evaluated the impact of the implementation of these amendments.
IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IFRS Practice Statement 2: Disclosure of Accounting
policies (Amendments) (issued on 12 February 2021 with effective date of 1 January 2023).
The amendments effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023. Earlier application
is permitted. The amendments provide guidance on the application of materiality judgements to accounting
policy disclosures. In particular, the amendments to IAS 1 replace the requirement to disclose ‘significant
accounting policies with a requirement to disclose ‘material’ accounting policies. Also, guidance and illus-
trative examples are added in the Practice Statement to assist in the application of the materiality concept
when

making judgements about accounting policy disclosures. The management has not yet evaluated the impact
of the implementation of these amendments.
IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors: Definition of Accounting
Estimates (Amendments) (issued on 12 February 2021 with effective date of 1 January 2023).
The amendments introduce a new definition of accounting estimates, defined as monetary amounts in fi-
nancial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty. Also, the amendments clarify what changes
in accounting estimates are and how these differ from changes in accounting policies and corrections of
errors. The amendments become effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January
2023 with earlier application permitted and apply to changes in accounting policies and changes in ac-
counting estimates that occur on or after the start of that period. The management has not yet evaluated the
impact of the implementation of these amendments.
Amendments to IAS 1 Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current (issued on 23 January
2020 with effective date of 1 January 2024, but not before it is adopted by the EU).
The amendments aim to promote consistency in applying the requirements by helping companies determine
whether, in the statement of financial position, debt and other liabilities with an uncertain settlement date
should be classified as current or non-current. The amendments affect the presentation of liabilities in the
statement of financial position and do not change existing requirements around measurement or timing of
recognition of any asset, liability, income or expenses, nor the information that entities disclose about those
items Also, the amendments clarify the classification requirements for debt which may be settled by the
company issuing own equity instruments. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU. The
management has not yet evaluated the impact of the implementation of these amendments.
Amendments to IAS 1 “Non-current Liabilities with Covenants” (issued on 31 October 2022 with effective
date of 1 January 2024, but not before it is adopted by the EU):
Modify the requirements introduced by Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current on how an
entity classifies debt and other financial liabilities as current or non-current in particular circumstances:
Only covenants with which an entity is required to comply on or before the reporting date affect the clas-
sification of a liability as current or non-current. In addition, an entity has to disclose information in the
notes that enables users of financial statements to understand the risk that non-current liabilities with cov-
enants could become repayable within twelve months. The amendments are effective for reporting periods
beginning on or after 1 January 2024. The amendments are applied retrospectively in accordance with IAS
8 and earlier application is permitted. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU. The man-
agement has not yet evaluated the impact of the implementation of these amendments.
Amendments to IFRS 16 “Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback” with amendments that clarify
how a seller-lessee subsequently measures sale and leaseback transactions that satisfy the require-
ments in IFRS 15 to be accounted for as a sale (issued on 22 September 2022 with effective date of 1
January 2024, but not before it is adopted by the EU).
Amendments to IFRS 16 “Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback” require a seller-lessee to subsequently
measure lease liabilities arising from a leaseback in a way that it does not recognise any amount of the gain
or loss that relates to the right of use it retains. The new requirements do not prevent a seller-lessee from
recognising in profit or loss any gain or loss relating to the partial or full termination of a lease. The amend-
ments become effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024 with earlier
application permitted. A seller-lessee applies the amendments retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8
Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors to sale and leaseback transactions en-
tered into after the date of initial application. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU. The
management has not yet evaluated the impact of the implementation of these amendments.

3.1 Foreign currency
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency at exchange rates ruling at the
dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting
date are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate by the European Central Bank ruling
at that date. The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is recognised in profit or loss. Non-
monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are re-
translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at cost are trans-
lated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the asset or liability is recognised in
statement of financial position. Foreign currency differences arising on translation are recognised in profit
or loss.
3.2 Financial instruments
Financial instrument: a contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or
equity instrument of another entity.
Financial assets
Initial recognition and measurement
At initial recognition, financial asset is classified as either measured at amortised cost, fair value through
other comprehensive income or fair value through profit or loss.
The classification of the financial asset depends on the contractual cash flow characteristics of the asset
and the Company’s business model for managing the asset. These assets, except for trade receivables that
do not have a significant financing component, are initially measured by the Company at fair value plus,
in the case of a financial asset or financial liability not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs.
Trade receivables that do not have a significant financing component are measured at the transaction price
identified under IFRS 15.
Financial asset is classified and measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive
income, where cash flows arising from financial asset are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI)
on the principal amount outstanding. This assessment is known as the SPPI test and is performed for each
financial instrument.
The Company’s financial asset management model indicates how the Company manages its financial assets
to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will be generated by collecting
contractual cash flows, by selling this financial asset or by using both options.
Ordinary purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date, i.e. the date on which the
Company commits to purchase or sell the financial asset.
Subsequent measurement
After initial recognition, the Company measures financial assets:
(a) At amortised cost (debt instruments).
At fair value through other comprehensive income with recycling of cumulative gains and losses upon
derecognition (debt instruments). As at 31 December 20221 and 2021, the Company did not have such
financial instruments.
(c) At fair value through other comprehensive income with no recycling of cumulative gains and losses
upon derecognition (equity instruments). As at 31 December 20221 and 2021, the Company did not
have such financial instruments.
(d) At fair value through profit or loss. As at 31 December 2022 and 2021, the Company did not have such
financial instruments.
Financial asset at amortised cost (debt instruments)
The Company measures financial assets at amortised cost, if the two conditions are met:
(i) The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order
to collect contractual cash flows; and
19
AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“
Separate Financial Statements
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(ii) Contractual terms and conditions of financial asset allow for obtaining cash flows, on certain dates,
which are solely the payments of the principal or the interest on the outstanding principal.
Financial assets measured at amortised cost are subsequently accounted for by applying the effective inter-
est method (EIR) less impairment losses. Gain or loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive
income when the asset is derecognised, modified or impaired.
The Company’s financial assets at amortised cost includes trade, other current and non-current receivables,
loans granted.
Impairment of financial assets
In general, IFRS 9 requires the Company to recognize expected credit losses (ECLs) for all debt instruments
that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between all
contractual cash flows and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive, discounted at the ap-
proximate original effective interest rate. ECLs are recognised in two stages.
For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recogni-
tion, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next
12-months (a 12-month ECL). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in
credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remain-
ing life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default (a lifetime ECL).
For trade receivables and contract assets, the Company applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs.
Therefore, the Company does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises an impairment loss
based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date.
(a) Assessment of impairment of trade receivables and contract assets
Based on the Company’s management assessment, trade receivables and contract assets do not include a
significant financing component and are accordingly measured for impairment using the simplified method,
i.e. management makes an individual assessment of expected credit losses for each important customer
taking into account its credit history, future factors and subjective risk factors related to the borrower. To
assess all other receivables the Company uses the expected loss rate matrix which is based on historical
credit loss analysis and adjusted to reflect future factors specific to borrowers and the economic environ-
ment.
(b) Estimation of the impairment of loans granted
The Company grants loans to the Group companies with a fixed maturity as it is disclosed in Note 17. For
assessment of impairment of loans granted the expected 12-months credit losses are assessed and accounted
upon issue of the loan. In subsequent periods, given the absence of significant increase in the credit risk
associated with the debtor, the Company reassesses the 12-months ECL balance based on the loan amount
still outstanding as of the date of the re-assessment. If it is determined that the financial position of the
debtor has significantly deteriorated compared to the position prevailing at the time of the loan issue, the
Company accounts for all the ECLs over the remaining life of the loan. Loans subject to assessment of
lifetime ECLs are considered to be credit-impaired financial assets.
The Company considers a financial asset in default when contractual payments are 90 days past due or
when indications exist that the debtors or a group of debtors are experiencing significant financial diffi-
culty, they breach the contract (such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments), there
exists a probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation, and in cases where
observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as
changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.
ECLs for loans and trade receivables is accounted for through profit/loss using allowance for doubtful
debts. A financial asset is written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual
cash flows.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Financial liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement:
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit
or loss, loans received and payables. All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the
case of loans received and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs. The Company’s financial
liabilities include trade and other payables, loans received, including bank overdrafts.
Subsequent measurement
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below.
Loans received and other payables
After initial recognition, loans and other payables are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest
method (EIR). Gains and losses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, when the liabil-
ities are written off or amortised. Amortised cost is calculated by reference to the discount or premium on
acquisition, as well as taxes or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. EIR amortization is included in
financial expenses in the statement of comprehensive income.
Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the statement of finan-
cial position if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an
intention to settle on a net basis, i.e. to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
Derecognition of Financial Assets and Liabilities
Financial assets
A financial asset (or, where appropriate, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial
assets) is derecognised (i.e. it is removed from the statement of financial position of the Company) when:
(i) the contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset have expired; or
(ii) the Company has transferred its contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset;
or undertakes to remit, without material delay, any cash flows received to a third party under a
transfer agreement and (a) has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) has
neither transferred, nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset but has trans-
ferred control of the asset.
Once the Company transfers the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset or enters
into a qualifying pass-through arrangement with a third party, the Company evaluates whether and to what
extent it retains the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. When the Company neither trans-
fers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transfers control of the asset, the asset
is recognised to the extent of the Company’s continuing involvement in the asset. In this case, the Company
also recognizes the associated liability. The transferred asset and associated liability are measured based
on the rights and obligations retained by the Company.
Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the
lower amount of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that
the Company could be required to repay (the amount of the guarantee).
Financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or ex-
pired. When a present financial liability is swapped with other liability to the same lessor, although, upon
other conditions or when the present liability terms are substantially changed, this change is recognized as
initial derecognition and establishment of a new liability. The difference between respective balance values
is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

3.3 Property, Plant and Equipment
Items of property, plant and equipment except for land and buildings are measured at cost less accumulated
depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is calculated using a straight-line method
over the assessed useful life of an asset.
Land and buildings are carried at revalued amount which is their fair value as at the revaluation date less
subsequently accumulated depreciation and impairment. Revaluations are carried out regularly ensuring
that the carrying amount of land and buildings do not significantly differ from their fair values as at report-
ing date.
The fair value of land and buildings is established by certified independent real estate appraisers. The re-
valuation reserve of land and buildings is reduced by an amount equal to the difference between the depre-
ciation based on the revalued carrying amount and the depreciation based on the original cost of the land
and buildings each year and is transferred directly to retained earnings or loss.
In case of revaluation, when the estimated fair value of the assets exceeds their residual value, the residual
value is increased to the fair value and the amount of increase is included into revaluation reserve of prop-
erty, plant and equipment as other comprehensive income in equity. However, such increase in revaluation
is recognised as income to the extent it does not exceed the decrease of previous revaluation recognised in
profit or loss. Depreciation is calculated from the depreciable amount which is equal to acquisition cost or
revaluated amount less residual value of an asset.
The accumulated depreciation as at the revaluation date is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of
the asset and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the asset. Upon disposal or recognising
regular depreciation charge, any revaluation surplus relating to the particular asset being depreciation or
sold is transferred to retained earnings.
Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-con-
structed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bring-
ing the asset to a working condition for its intended use, and the costs of dismantling and removing the
items and restoring the site on which they are located. Borrowing costs related to qualifying assets are
capitalised.
When components of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as
separate items of property, plant and equipment.
The cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount
of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the
Company and its cost can be measured reliably. The residual value of the replaced part is derecognised.
The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in profit or loss as
incurred.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of
property, plant and equipment. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their
useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Company will obtain ownership by the end of the lease
term.
The estimated useful lives of the assets are the following:
Buildings and structures 840 years
Plant and equipment 510 years
Vehicles 510 years
Fixtures and fittings 36 years
Depreciation methods, residual values and useful lives are reviewed at each reporting date.
Gains and losses on disposal are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the residual
value of property, plant and equipment and are recognised net within other income or expenses. When
revalued assets are sold or reclassified, the amounts included in the revaluation surplus reserve are trans-
ferred to retained earnings.

3.4 Intangible assets
Software and other intangible assets, which have finite useful lives, are measured at cost less accumulated
amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-
line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets from the date that they are available for use.
The estimated useful life is 3 years. The Company does not have any intangible assets with infinite useful
life.
3.5 Investment Property
Investment property of the Company consist of buildings that are held to earn rentals or for capital appre-
ciation, rather than for use in the production, or supply of goods, or services or for administration purposes,
or sale in the ordinary course of business.
Investment property is measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recog-
nition, investment property is measured at fair value, which reflects market conditions at the reporting date.
Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair values of investment property are included in the profit or
loss in the period in which they arise.
Acquisition cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the assets. The cost
of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attribut-
able
to bringing the asset to a working condition for its intended use, and the costs of dismantling and removing
the items and restoring the site on which they are located. Borrowing costs related to qualifying assets are
capitalised.
Investment property is derecognised when either they have been disposed of or when the investment prop-
erty is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal. The
difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognised in the profit
or loss in the period of derecognition.
Transfers are made to or from investment property only when there is a change in use. For a transfer from
investment property to owner-occupied property, plant and equipment, the deemed cost for subsequent
accounting is the fair value at the date of change in use. If owner-occupied property, plant and equipment
is reclassified to investment property, the Company accounts for such property in accordance with the
policy stated under property, plant and equipment up to the date of change in use.
3.6 Leased Assets and Lease Liabilities
A. Company as a lessee
At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the
contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for
consideration.
The Company (as a lessee) applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except
for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Company recognises lease liabilities to make lease
payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.
Right of use assets
The Company recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the un-
derlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depre-
ciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.
The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, initial
direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incen-
tives received. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term
and the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:
• Cars 3 years
23
AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“
Separate Financial Statements
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
3.6 Leased Assets and Lease Liabilities (continued)
Buildings and structures 5 years
If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Company at the end of the lease term or the cost reflects
the exercise of a purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset.
The right-of-use assets are also subject to impairment.
Lease liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognises lease liabilities measured at the present
value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (in-
cluding in-substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that
depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease
payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the
Company and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Company exer-
cising the option to terminate. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recog-
nised as expenses (unless they are incurred to produce inventories) in the period in which the event or
condition that triggers the payment occurs.
In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at the
lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After
the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the estimates of interest and
reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if
there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments (e.g., changes to future
payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change
in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.
Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
The Company apply the short-term lease recognition exemption to its non-current-asset (i.e., those leases
that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase
option). Lease payments on short term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as expense on
a straight-line basis over the lease term.
(B) The Company as a lessor:
The Company’s buildings that are leased under the operating lease agreements are accounted in the state-
ment of financial position as investment property. Lease income is recognised on a straight line basis over
the lease period.
3.7 Investments in Subsidiaries and Joint Arrangements
Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less impairment.
A joint arrangement is an arrangement of which two or more parties have joint control. These arrangement
has the following characteristics:
The parties are bound by a contractual arrangement.
The contractual arrangement gives two or more of those parties joint control of the arrangement.
The Company has a joint arrangement that is a joint operation (Note 16).
As a joint operator the Company recognises in relation to its interest in a joint operation:
its assets, including its share of any assets held jointly;
its liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly;
its revenue from the sale of its share of the output arising from the joint operation;
its share of the revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation; and
its expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
3.8 Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories is based on
the first-in first-out (FIFO) principle, and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, pro-
duction and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. Net realizable
value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion
and selling expenses.
Inventories related to ongoing construction projects are accounted for under inventories caption in the
statement of financial position until inventories are used in construction process and further are accounted
for as cost of sales. Project related inventories’ accounting policy is the same as stated above.
Unrealisable inventory is fully write-off.
3.9 Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash includes cash on hand and cash at banks. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments
that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with original maturities of 3 months or less and that
are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and in current
bank accounts, as well as deposits in bank with original term equal to or less than 3 months.
3.10 Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
The carrying amounts of non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed
at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication
exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.
The recoverable amount is the greater of the asset’s value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In
assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax
discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to
the asset. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of
assets that generates cash flows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash flows of other
assets or groups of assets.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its
estimated recoverable amount. An impairment loss on a non-revalued asset is recognised in profit or loss.
However, an impairment loss on a revalued asset is recognised in other comprehensive income to the extent
that the impairment loss does not exceed the amount in the revaluation surplus for that same asset. Such an
impairment loss on a revalued asset reduces the revaluation surplus for that asset.
Impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that
the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the
estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that
the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of
depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognised.
3.11 Dividends
Dividends are recognised as a liability in the period in which they are declared.
3.12 Provisions
A provision is recognised in the statement of financial position if, as a result of a past event, the Company
has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an out-
flow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discount-
ing the expected future cash flows to their present value at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assess-
ments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
3.12 Provisions (continued)
A provision for warranties is recognised when the underlying construction services are sold, i.e. assurance
type warranties, as the Company does not grant additional warranties to the customers. The provision is
based on historical warranty costs data and probabilities.
3.13 Employee benefits
The Company does not have any defined contribution and benefit plans and has no share-based payment
schemes. Post-employment obligations to employees retired on pension are borne by the State.
In accordance with the requirements of the Labour Code of the Republic of Lithuania, each employee
leaving the Company at the age of retirement is entitled to a one-off payment amounting to two-month
salary. Previously incurred service costs are recognised as expenses on a straight-line basis over the average
period until the benefits become vested. Any gains or losses appearing as a result of changes in terms of
benefits (curtailment or settlement) are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as incurred.
Current year cost of employee benefits is recognised as incurred in the statement of comprehensive income.
The above mentioned employee benefit obligation is calculated based on actuarial assumptions, using the
projected unit credit method. Obligation is recognised in the statement of financial position and reflects the
present value of these benefits on the preparation date of the statement of financial position. Present value
of the non-current obligation to employees is determined by discounting estimated future cash flows using
the discount rate which reflects the interest rate of the Government bonds of the same currency and similar
maturity as the employment benefits. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensive
income as incurred.
Short-term employee benefits are recognised as a current expense in the period when employees render the
services. These include salaries and wages, social security contributions, bonuses, paid holidays and other
benefits.
3.14 Revenue
Revenue from contracts with customers
The Company’s primary business activity is the construction of buildings, structures, plant and equipment
and communication facilities. Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised at the amount to which
the entity expects to be entitled to in return for the sale of goods or services when a control of goods or
services is transferred to the customer. Generally, the Company does not have significant variable compo-
nents of remuneration in its contracts with customers.
The Company has concluded that generally it is the principal in its construction services contracts even
when the subcontractors are used in the implementation of the projects, because the Company:
- controls the goods and services before transferring them to the customer;
- is responsible for the overall performance of the contract with the customer and is exposed to the risk of
default;
- the entity has discretion in establishing the price.
Performance obligations arising from the construction contracts with customers are fulfilled over time and
respectively revenue from the construction and installation services are recognised over time if any of the
following criteria are met: (a) the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided
by the Company’s performance; (b) the Company’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the cus-
tomer controls as the asset is created or enhanced; or (c) the Company’s performance does not create an
asset with an alternative use and the Company has an enforceable right to payment for performance com-
pleted to date.
When the Company can reasonably measure its progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance
obligation, the Company recognises revenue and expenses in relation to each construction contract over
time, based on the progress of performance. The progress of performance is assessed based on the propor-
tion of the costs incurred in fulfilling the contract up to date over to the total estimated costs of the con-
struction contract.
When the outcome of a contract cannot be estimated reliably (for example, in the early stages of a contract),
only the portion of the contract costs incurred that is expected to be recovered is recognised as revenue
26
AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
3.14 Revenue (continued)
Contract modification (scope or price or both) are accounted for as a separate contract if the scope of the
contract increases because of the addition of promised goods or services that are distinct and the price of
the contract increases by an amount of consideration that reflects the Group’s stand-alone selling prices of
the additional promised goods or services in the circumstances of the particular contract. Otherwise the
contract modification is accounted as (a) termination of the existing contract and the creation of a new
contract, if the remaining goods or services are distinct from the goods or services transferred on or before
the date of the contract modification, or (b) part of the existing contract if the remaining goods or services
are not distinct and, therefore, form part of a single performance obligation that is partially satisfied at the
date of the contract modification. The effect that the contract modification has on the transaction price, and
on the Company's measure of progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation, is
recognised as an adjustment to revenue (either as an increase in or a reduction of revenue) at the date of
the contract modification.
Provisions for loss making contracts are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or
constructive) to complete the construction contract for the third party for the price that is lower than the
total estimated cost to perform the contract as of the date of the financial statements. The difference between
the contract price and the total estimated cost of delivery under the contract is recognised in the statement
of comprehensive income at the reporting date. Where the contract costs are expected to exceed contract
revenue, the loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss. When performing the contracts the Company
may receive short-term prepayments from its customers. Applying the practical expedient, the Company is
not adjusting the price allocation by the financing component, if at the inception of the contract it is ex-
pected that the time period from the customer payment for goods/services until the delivery of these
goods/services will not exceed one year.
Balances under contract
Contract assets
Contract asset is the right of the Company to remuneration in exchange for the goods or services that have
been transferred to the customer. If the Company performs the contract by transferring goods or services to
a customer before the customer pays consideration or before the Company’s right to amount of consideration
is unconditional, the Company reports such a right to consideration as a contract asset, except for any
amounts reported as receivables.
Receivables
Receivable represents the Company’s right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional, i.e., only the
passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due. Receivables are accounted for in
accordance with IFRS 9 (Note 3.2).
Contract liability
A contract liability is the Company’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the
Company has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. Contract
liability is recognised as revenue when the Company performs under the contract.
Revenue from the sale of other services or goods is recognised when the services are rendered or control
of the inventory is transferred, but such transactions are relatively insignificant.
3.15 Finance Income and Expense
Financial income comprises interest income and dividend income. Interest income is recognised as it ac-
crues, using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recognised on the date that the Company’s
right to receive payment is established. Financial costs comprise interest expense and other financial ex-
penses. All borrowing costs are recognised using the effective interest method. Foreign currency gains and
losses are reported on a net basis in profit or loss.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily
takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of
the respective assets. Other borrowing costs are expensed as incurred.
27

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
3.16 Income Tax
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognised in profit or loss
except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in equity.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted at the
reporting date.
Deferred taxes are calculated using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax is recognised, providing
for temporary differences between the carrying values of assets and liabilities for financial reporting pur-
poses and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using
the tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are
expected to be recovered or settled based on tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the date of the
statement of financial position.
A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available
against which the asset can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are
reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
Starting from 1 January 2014, the tax loss carried forward cannot exceed 70% of the taxable profit of
current financial year in Lithuania. Tax losses can be carried forward for indefinite period, except for the
losses incurred as a result of disposal of securities and/or derivative financial instruments. Such carrying
forward is disrupted if the company changes its activities due to which these losses were incurred except
when the entity does not continue its activities due to reasons which do not depend on the Company itself.
The losses from disposal of securities and/or derivative financial instruments can be carried forward for 5
consecutive years and can only be used to reduce the taxable income earned from the transactions of the
same nature.
3.17 Earnings per Share
The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing
the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of
ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss
attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the
effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, such as convertible notes and share options granted to em-
ployees.
The Company has no dilutive potential ordinary shares. The diluted earnings per share are the same as the
basic earnings per share.
3.18 Segment Reporting
An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it
may earn revenues and incur expenses. An operating segment’s operating results are reviewed regularly by
management of the Company to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess
its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available.
Segment results that are reported to management include items directly attributable to a segment as well as
those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. For management purpose, the Company is considered as
a single construction activity business segment. Due to this no additional disclosures are presented in these
financial statements regarding segments on the Company level.
In 2022 and 2021, the Company also does not distinguish geographical segments, as the Company’s income
from foreign countries did not account for more than 10% of the total income and most of its non-current
assets are also located in Lithuania.
3.19 Determination of Fair Value
A number of the Company’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value,
for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair value is the price that would be received to
sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the meas-
urement date in the principal, or in its absence, the most advantageous market to which the Company has
28
AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“
Separate Financial Statements
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
access at that date. The fair value of a liability reflects its non-performance risk. Fair values are obtained
from quoted market prices, discounted cash flow models and option pricing models as appropriate.
3.19 Determination of Fair Value (continued)
When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses market observable data as far
as possible. Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs
used in the valuation techniques as follows:
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability,
either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable
inputs).
If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability might be categorised in different levels
of the fair value hierarchy, the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the
fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.
The Company recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting
period during which the change has occurred.
Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the methods and
assumptions described in Notes 13, 15, 16 and 29. Where applicable, further information about the assump-
tions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability.
3.20 Offsetting
When preparing the financial statements, assets and liabilities as well as revenues and expenses are not set
off except for the cases where the International Financial Reporting Standards specifically require such off-
setting.
4. Financial Risk Management
Overview
The Company has exposure to the following financial risks: credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. This
note presents information about the Company’s exposure to each of these risks, the Company’s objectives,
policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the Company’s management of capital. Fur-
ther quantitative disclosures are included throughout these financial statements.
The Board has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk manage-
ment framework. The Company’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks
faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to
limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market condi-
tions and the Company’s activities. The Company aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control
environment in which all employees understand their roles and liabilities.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty fails to meet its contract
liabilities, and arises principally from the Company’s trade receivables and loans granted.
The Company controls credit risk by credit policies and procedures. The Company has established a credit
policy under which each new customer is analysed for creditworthiness before the standard payment terms
and conditions are offered. Customers that fail to meet the benchmark creditworthiness may transact with
the Company only on a prepayment basis.
The measure of credit risk is the maximum credit risk for each class of financial instruments, which is equal
to their carrying amount. The maximum amount of exposure to credit risk in relation to particular classes
corresponds to their carrying amount.

The Company establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of incurred losses in
respect of trade receivables.
30
AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“
Separate Financial Statements
4. Financial Risk Management (continued)
The main components of this allowance are specific losses that relate to individually significant accounts
receivable and expected credit losses recognised using ECLs method (in line with IFRS 9). Methodology
used for establishing the allowance is reviewed regularly to reduce any differences between loss estimate
and actual loss experienced.
Maturity and ageing of loans granted is presented in Note 17.
Following removal of the subsidiary OOO Baltlitstroj from the register on 25 November 2022, the Com-
pany’s other current assets were written off, since were fully impaired as at 31 December 2021 (Note 20).
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and at bank; therefore, the related credit risk is relatively
low.
Apart from the impairment already recognised as at 31 December 2022, the management considers that
there is no risk of material loss to the Company.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due.
The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have
sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without
incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation. Typically, the Company

Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as changes in foreign currency rates and interest
rates will affect the results of the Company. The objective of market risk management is to manage and
control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return. As at 31 Decem-
ber 2022 and 2021, the Company did not use any derivatives.
Currency risk. The Company is exposed to the significant risk of changes in foreign currency rates, since
sales and receivables, purchases, payables and borrowings are denominated in a currency other than the
functional currency are not material. The majority of monetary assets and liabilities as at 31 December
2022 and 2021 were denominated in EUR.
Interest rate risk. The Company’s issued and received loans and borrowings are subject to variable interest
rates linked to EURIBOR. No financial instruments are used to manage the risk. Taking into consideration
the current level of issued loans, the change of interest rate would not have a material effect as disclosed
below.
The Company’s financial assets and borrowings subject to variable interest rates outstanding as of 31 De-
cember 2022 were as follows:

rency

With an increase in the interest rate by 0.5% as at 31 December 2022, the Company’s net profit would
increase by approximately EUR 28 thousand. With an increase in the interest rate by 0.5% as at 31 Decem-
ber 2021, the Company’s net profit would increase by approximately EUR 35 thousand.
Capital management
The policy of the Board is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market
confidence and to sustain future development of the business. The Board monitors the return on capital and
proposes the level of dividends to ordinary shareholders based on the Company’s financial results and
strategic plans.
The Board also aims to keep balance between higher return, which could be available if there was higher
level of borrowedfunds” and security, which is provided by higher level of equity. The Company adheres
to the requirement set in the Law on Companies of the Republic of Lithuania under which the equity of the
Company must not be less than ½ of the issued capital. As at 31 December 2022 and 2021, the Company
was in line with this regulation. The Company’s capital management policy did not change during the year.
For capital management purpose, capital consists of share capital, retained earnings, revaluation reserve
and legal reserve.

A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be
available against which the asset can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no
longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. Part of deferred tax has not been recognised
due to uncertainty of deferred tax realisation.

Land and buildings are stated at revalued amount. The last external revaluation was performed
as on 31 December 2022 based on the estimates on possible market prices of the Company’s land
and buildings provided by independent appraisers, having appropriate recognised professional
qualifications and necessary experience in valuation of property at certain location and of certain
category. The valuation was performed using the comparable value approach. Significant unob-
servable data was used in fair value measurement, i.e. price per square meter/are. The fair value
would increase with an increase in price per square meter/are and decrease with a decrease in
price per square meter/are.
If the buildings and land were stated at cost model, their net book value as at 31 December 2022
would be equal to EUR 1,638 thousand (as at 31 December 2021: EUR 1,637 thousand).
As at 31 December 2022, the acquisition cost of fully depreciated but still in use assets amounted
to EUR 2,108 thousand, (as at 31 December 2021: EUR 1,376 thousand).
As at 31 December 2022, land and buildings with the carrying amount of EUR 3,272 thousand
were pledged to banks (as at 31 December 2021: EUR 2,483 thousand) (see Note 28).

In 2015, the Company acquired a 14-floor hotel Panevėžys located in Panevėžys, 16.74% of
which is rented out to third parties, and the rest of the hotel is not used. The Company has no
detailed plans regarding the use of the remaining part of the building yet; however, the building
is not planned to be further used in the Company’s activities; therefore, the whole building is
classified as an investment property.
The fair value measurement has been determined by valuation of the building carried out by the
independent property appraisers UAB Ober-Haus, having appropriate professional qualification
and relevant valuation experience. The discounted cash flow method was used in the valuation
(discount rate 9%, exit yield 7%, occupation rate 8090%; the same assumptions were used
in 2022 and 2021). If the discount rate would increase by 1% (remaining assumptions would not
be changed), then investment property fair value would decrease by approx. EUR 105 thousand,
and if exit yield would increase by 1% (remaining assumptions would not be changed), the fair
value of investment property would decrease by EUR 102 thousand.
The identified fair value of the above investment property of EUR 1,550 thousand (in 2021:
EUR 1,420 thousand) was attributed to Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
At the end of the financial year, future minimum lease payments receivable under non-cancella-
ble lease agreements were the following: EUR 171 thousand in less than one year, EUR 112
thousand between one and five years (as at 31 December 2021: EUR 123 thousand in less than
one year, EUR 165 thousand between one and five years). Revenue from the hotel premises rent
in 2022 amounted to EUR 123 thousand (in 2021: EUR 102 thousand) and was accounted for
under other income (see Note 10).
In addition, the Company reclassified the operational buildings, storages and other premises,
leased to both subsidiaries and third parties, to investment property. Calculated fair value of these
buildings as at 31 December 2018 amounted to EUR 1,350 thousand, which was evaluated in
accordance with the reports of independent real estate appraisers and a percentage of leased
space. The assessment of assets was carried out by UAB corporation Matininkai. Assets were
evaluated using comparable and income methods, with regard to the larger value. An average
discount rate of 11.91% was applied to income method in accordance with weighted average cost
of capital. The latter investment property was attributed to Level 3 in fair value hierarchy. The
management assessed that the fair value of the investment property did not change significantly.
Expected rental receivables of this investment property under uncancellable contracts as at 31
December 2022 amounted to: EUR 355 thousand in less than one year, EUR 469 thousand be-
tween one and five years (as at 31 December 2021: EUR 281 thousand in less than one year,
EUR 490 thousand between one and five years). Revenue from lease in 2022 amounted to EUR
332 thousand (in 2021: EUR 324 thousand) and was accounted for under other income.

based on the real estate project, which was developed by ZAO ISK Baltevromarket in Kalinin-
grad. In April 2021, ZAO ISK Baltevromarket in Kaliningrad sold remaining land plots for EUR
7,000, using the exchange rate between euro and rubble prevailing at the date of the transaction.

As at 31 December 2022, the bank guarantees of EUR 10,456 thousand issued to third parties on
behalf of the Group in connection with the liabilities under the construction contracts performed

uary 2023 to 2 March 2025. In addition, the Group has guarantees of EUR 15,503 thousand issued
by insurance companies, which are also related to liabilities in the construction contracts (in
2021: EUR 13,392). The guarantees expire in the period from 1 January 2023 to 16 December
2025. No additional liabilities are recorded in respect of these guarantees in the financial state-
ments other than estimated warranty reserve (Note 25).
Property with a carrying amount of EUR 3,272 thousand as at 31 December 2022 (EUR 2,475
thousand as at 31 December 2021) has been pledged to banks for the guarantee limit issued and
guarantees issued by bank. As at 31 December 2022, the guarantee limit amounted to EUR

date of issue if the amount does not exceed EUR 1,500 thousand. As at 31 December 2021, the
guarantee limit amounted to EUR 15,000 thousand, the used amount was EUR 8,013 thousand.
Legal contingencies
The Group is involved in below described material legal cases:
(1) The Competition Council has made a decision as of 20 December 2017 „UAB Regarding
Irdaiva and AB PST actions in joint participation in public tenders of buildings renovation and
modernization works meeting the requirements of 5th article of the Competition law of the Re-
public of Lithuania”. Based on the Competition Council decision, joint activity agreement signed
between the Group and UAB Irdaiva for providing joint offers in 24 public tenders organized by
UAB Vilniaus Vystymo Kompanija intended to limit competition and violated the requirements
of Article 5(1) of the Competition Law of Republic of Lithuania. A fine was set to the Group in
total amount of EUR 8,514 thousand. On 3 June 2020, the Supreme Administrative Court of
Lithuania announced a non-appealable ruling on the dispute of the Group against the decision of
the Competition Council. As a consequence, the Group recognised in the financial statements for
the year ended 31 December 2020 the fine amounting to EUR 8,514 thousand and related interest
charge amounting to EUR 1,385 thousand, and the bailiff enforcement fee amounting to EUR
396 thousand.

28. Contingent Liabilities (continued)
The Group recognised the full amounts of fine, interest and enforcement fees in its financial
statements for the year ended 31 December 2020, however the management took additional legal
actions to reduce the interest and the enforcement fee amounts, as further described below.
The Tax Authority informed the participants involved in the enforcement process by the letter
No 21915 (individual administrative act) of 12 August 2020 on the decision to set the payment
of fine and interest imposed on the Group in equal parts for a period of eight years. The Tax
Authority also stated that the bailiff's enforcement fees should not be included in the payment
schedule. On 20 February 2023, the Settlement Agreement was signed with the Tax Authority,
with the fine payable in equal instalments over four years period.
Also, the Group’s assets with the net book value of EUR 3,394 thousand as at 31 December 2022
(in 2021: EUR 3,057 thousand) was arrested as a guarantee for fulfilment of the obliga-
tions.
The Chamber of Panevėžys of the Panevėžys District Court investigated the appeal of AB
PANEVĖŽIO STATYBOS TRESTAS in a civil case No 2YT-238-1105/2021 regarding the bail-
iff’s orders by which the enforcement fees were calculated. By the ruling of 8 February 2022, the
Court overturned the order No S-20-102-25277 of S. Ramanauskas, a bailiff, dated 7 September
2020, regarding the recovery of enforcement fees in the enforcement proceedings No
0102/20/00638. The parties to the proceedings did not appeal, and thus bailiff's enforcement fees
decreased from EUR 396 thousand to EUR 45 thousand.
The Chamber of Panevėžys of the Panevėžys District Court investigated the appeal of AB
PANEVĖŽIO STATYBOS TRESTAS in a civil case No 2YT-8648-452/2020 [2YT-230-
452/2021] regarding the bailiff’s orders by which the interest payable and the enforcement fees
were calculated under the Decision No 2S-11(2017) of 20 December 2017 of the Competition
Council of the Republic of Lithuania. The Chamber of Panevėžys of the Panevėžys District Court
dismissed the appeal by an order of 13 January 2021. This order was appealed by bringing a
separate appeal on 20 January 2021. By order of 20 April 2021, the Panevėžys Regional Court
upheld the decision of the Chamber of Panevėžys of the Panevėžys District Court unchanged.
This decision was appealed in cassation. On 14 April 2022, the Supreme Court of Lithuania
overturned the ruling of the Panevėžys Regional Court dated 20 April 2021 and remitted the case
to the appeal court for reconsideration. On 14 June 2022, the Panevėžys Regional Court over-
turned the ruling of the Chamber of Panevėžys of the Panevėžys District Court dated 13 January
2021, and decided this question on the merits: upheld the appeal against the actions of bailiff
Saulius Ramanauskas in enforcement proceedings No OI 02/20/00638; repealed the bailiff's or-
der No S-20- 17054 dated 11 June 2020, order No S-20-102-17225 dated 12 June 2020, order
No 20-102-17214 dated 12 June 2020, order No S-20-102-17969 dated 18 June 2020 and order
No S-20-102-18809 dated 30 June 2020 concerning the calculation of interest and enforcement
fees (bailiff fees), and ordered the bailiff Saulius Ramanauskas to carry out a recalculation of the
interest and enforcement fees specified in these orders. On this basis, the interest charged de-
creased from EUR 1,385 thousand to EUR 252 thousand.

30. Fair value of financial instruments

valuation techniques.

There were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy in 2022 and 2021 at the Com-
pany.
The following methods and assumptions are used by the Company to estimate the fair value of
the financial instruments not carried at fair value:
Cash
Cash represents cash at banks and on hand stated at value equal to the fair value.
Receivables
The fair value of trade and other receivables and loans granted is estimated at the present value
of future cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date. Fair value of
short-term trade and other receivables with no stated interest rate is deemed to approximate their
face value on initial recognition and carrying value on any subsequent date as the effect of dis-
counting is immaterial.
The fair value of non-current trade receivables was estimated to approximate carrying value as
discounting effect was determined to be not material.
The fair value of loans granted was estimated to approximate carrying value as majority of the
loans are subject of market level variable interest.
50
AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“
Separate Financial Statements
30. Fair value of financial instruments (continued)
Financial liabilities
Fair value, which is determined for disclosure purposes, is calculated based on the present value
of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting
date. Fair value of current trade payables with no stated interest rate is deemed to approximate
their face value on initial recognition and carrying value on any subsequent date as the effect of
discounting is immaterial. The fair value of borrowings (overdraft) was estimated to approximate
carrying value as it is subject to variable interest. The carrying value of lease liabilities approxi-
mates the fair value as it is a subject to interest. The fair value of fine under the decision of the
Competition Council is considered its carrying value, since it is not subject to interest.

32. Events after the End of the Reporting Period
After the end of the financial year and up until the date these financial statements were approved,
no other significant subsequent events occurred. Geopolitical developments led to a very signif-
icant change in the prices of raw and construction materials in Q1 and Q2 of 2022. The Group
had fixed-price contracts for work, thus the majority of the costs of raw and construction materi-
als substantially increased the cost of sales. The increased costs were partially offset by indexa-
tion of sales prices to customers, as well as part of the costs was shared by suppliers and subcon-
tractors. Geopolitical events in 2022 also affected supply chains, resulting in delays in some ma-
terials, and affected the time-limits for the implementation of contract projects, as well as the
Group’s sales volume. In 2023, the geopolitical uncertainty remains, but no significant negative
impact on the Group’s plans for 2023 is expected. To mitigate uncertainty and manage risks, the
Group takes a proactive approach in cost management, in particular, in reducing of costs, pur-
chasing of materials, etc.

9. Fair review of position, performance and development of the Company and the Group,
description of the principal risks and uncertainties the company faces
Key events of the reporting period
The key events that occurred during 2022 and were published through the GlobeNewswire
information system are listed below.
5 January 2022. The company had appealed in cassation against the mentioned court judgement (the
judgement by the Chamber of Panevezys at the Panevezys District Court on the interest accrued by
the Competition Council for the whole period of legal proceeding when the Company was in dispute
regarding the fine imposed by the Competition Council was left unchanged) to the Supreme Court of
Lithuania. On 5 January 2022, the Supreme Court of Lithuania upheld the judgement of 17 February
2021 by the Panevezys Regional Court.
7 January 2022. On 6 January 2022, the Supreme Court of Lithuania delivered the judgement on the
decision by the State Enterprise Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant to reject the submitted bid in the
tender for Procurement of Works for Construction of INPP Near Surface Repository for Low and
Intermediate-Level Short-Lived Radioactive Waste (Construction Stages I/A, II/A) and Design,
Construction and Connection of External Rainwater Drainage Networks to INPP Infrastructure
thereby dismissing the cassation appeal of Panevezio statybos trestas AB and hearing the case in
cassation proceedings. The court motivated their decision mainly by the fact that the case is of little
significance to the practice of the Lithuanian courts and public procurement. The court judgement
and the outcome of the dispute will not affect the future operations of the company as its possibilities
for participation in public procurement are no longer restricted.
57
8 March 2022. Panevezio statybos trestas AB notified that it ceases to operate its companies located
in the region of the Russian Federation:
- Operation of Baltevromarket ZAO ISK, with 100 per cents of the authorized capital hold by
PST Investicijos UAB, is ceased though there have been no assets owned by the company
since mid of 2021;
- Teritorija OOO has been out of active operation for the period of three years (de-registered
on 21 December 2022) ;
- Baltlitstroj OOO is declared bankrupt and is in the process of the relevant proceedings (de-
registered on 25 November 2022).
For several years now, taking into account the risks involved, Panevezio statybos trestas AB has
been putting tendentious efforts to withdraw from the market of the Russian Federation.
15 April 2022. The Supreme Court of Lithuania annulled the decisions of the courts of first and
appeal instance and remitted the case to the Appeal Court. The Supreme Court interpreting the
provisions of the Competition Law regarding the calculation of interest stated that the Appeal Court
misapplied the provisions of the Competition Law governing the procedure for calculating the
interest due for non-payment of fines for competition law infringements and ruled that the maximum
interest period of 180 days shall be applied.
According to the PST the bailiff's order under appeal calculated interest for the entire period of the
court proceedings and for an additional 180 days which amounts to EUR 1,385,178.76, the
recalculated amount of interest for 180 days should amount to EUR 251,906.30.
As of 1 August 2022, Panevezio statybos trestas AB has already paid EUR 2,245,985 in execution
of the decision by the Competition Council, despite the dispute in the courts.
28 April 2022. The Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of Panevezio statybos trestas AB took
place. The Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders did not come to the decision to pay dividends.
24 May 2022. Panevezio statybos trestas AB has signed the construction contract with the Visaginas
Municipality Administration for Reconstruction of Visaginas Sedulina Alley and Fountain. The total
contract value is over EUR 4 million (incl. VAT). The works are expected to be completed within
the period of 12 months but no later than September 2023.
30 May 2022. The State Tax Inspectorate under the Ministry of Finance informed Panevezio statybos
trestas AB (the Company) that the European Commission had closed the procedure for notifying the
state aid to the Company started as a result of distribution of the fine imposed by the Competition
Council. The European Commission had given an explanation that if for payment in instalments by
the Company of the imposed fine (economic sanction) together with the procedural interest rate
established by law is subject to the additional annual interest rate corresponding to market conditions,
such aid shall not be considered to be the state aid.
15 June 2022. By the court judgement dated 14 June 2022, the Panevezys Regional Court satisfied
the complaint by the Company against the actions of the bailiff in the enforcement case and revoked
the bailiff's orders regarding calculation of interest and enforcement costs - the bailiff's remuneration
- and placed the bailiff under the obligation to recalculate the interest and enforcement costs indicated
in the mentioned orders. It should be recalled that in its judgement the Supreme Court of Lithuania
had vacated the ruling and the judgement byre the courts of the first and appeal instances and referred
the case back to the appeal instance. In interpreting the provisions of the Law on Competition in
relation to interest calculation, the Supreme Court of Lithuania found that the appeal court had
misapplied the rules of the Law on Competition governing the procedure for calculation of interest
due for the fine unpaid for infringement of the competition rights and stated that in all cases the
maximum period of 180 days for calculation of interest should be applied.
Based on the orders under complaint, the calculated interest amounted to 1,385,178.76 Euros,
whereas considering interpretation by the Supreme Court of Lithuania, interest due for the period of
180 days amounts to 251,906.30 Euros.

Key events after the reporting period (in the year 2023)
2 February 2023. The General Extraordinary Meeting of Shareholders was reconvened to take the
resolution on approval of the agreed material conditions for the settlement agreement with the State
Tax Inspectorate.
For several years now, taking into account the risks involved, the Company has been putting
tendentious efforts to withdraw from the market of the Russian Federation.
Risk factors related to the Company’s activities:
In their operation, both the Company and the Group face various types of risks, such as legal
regulation, severe competition, shortage of qualified labour, cyclical nature of economy, consistency
of orders, volatile material prices in the global market, macroeconomic factors, damping. However,
only a few of them may have significant impact on the performance results of the Group and the
Company. The main factors that create business risk for the Company and the Group are competition
in the construction market and changes in the demand for construction services. The demand for
construction services also depends heavily on the volume of investments and financing received from
the EU structural funds. Increase and variation of material and service prices make the process of the
project budgeting and possibility to complete the already started projects based on the planned costs
more difficult. This results in extra risk for performance of fixed price construction contracts and
reduces profitability of projects. Furthermore, activity of the Company and the Group is influenced
by the economic situation (economic cycles), geopolitical changes in Lithuania and the countries
where the Group companies operate, Russia's military invasion of Ukraine, and remaining risks
related to COVID-19. Although there is still some uncertainty about the trends in global economic
development as well as regional and global crisis in future.
Information on the types of financial risks and risk management is provided in the Notes to the
Separate Financial Statements (Note 4) and Consolidated Financial Statements (Note 4). Legal
uncertainties are provided in the Notes to the Separate Financial Statements (Note 28) and
Consolidated Financial Statements (Note 27).
10. Analysis of financial and non-financial performance, information related to
environmental and employee matters
Some recent years are a big challenge for the global and Lithuanian economy. At the end of
pandemic, the Russian military invasion of Ukraine, which began at the beginning of the year, caused
a major geopolitical crisis. Therefore, the large increase in prices of energy resources resulted in
further rise of already high inflation.
The war in Ukraine has greatly influenced activities of the Company as well as the entire construction
sector. Since the beginning of the war, the considerable increase in material prices, shortage of raw
materials and supply disturbances have had a significant impact on performance results.

Information on extent of risk and risk management
Risk management is a part of strategic management and integral to the day-to-day operations of the
Group. In managing risks, the main objective of the Group is to identify higher and significant risks
and manage them in the optimal way. The following financial risks are faced within the Group: credit,
liquidity, market, business and operational.
The Board is responsible for setting up and maintaining the risk management structure. The risk
management policy of the Group is aimed at identifying and analysing the risks faced by the Group,
introduction and maintenance of appropriate limits and controls. The risk management policy and
risk management systems are reviewed at regular intervals to reflect changes in market conditions
and operation of the Group. The Group seeks to create a disciplined and constructive environment
for risk management where all employees know their roles and responsibilities.
Based on the credit risk policy established by the Group, standard payments and terms are only
offered after credit standing of each new client has been assessed. The potential credit risk for the
clients of the Group and the Company is managed through continuous monitoring of outstanding
balances. The aim to ensure that the services are provided to reliable clients and do not exceed the
permissible credit risk limit is continuously maintained. The clients failing to meet the established
limit may only make purchases with the Group after paying prepayments.
The Group manages liquidity risk to ensure, as far as possible, sufficient liquidity, which allows

losses and without facing the risk to lose reputation of the Group. The Company and the Group strives
to maintain sufficient amount of cash and cash equivalents or secure of appropriate credit instruments

interest rates will affect the result of the Group or the value of available financial instruments. The
purpose of the market risk management is to manage open positions of risk in order to optimize
returns.
68
Business risk is related to the Group's entry into new markets, segments, management of available
inventories and investments, and execution of construction contracts. One of the peculiarities related
to construction activities is that the fulfilment of concluded construction contracts is a long-term
process, which makes the sector inert to changes in the economic environment. For this reason, both
positive and negative changes reach the economic environment in the construction sector with
considerable delay. In order to manage business risk, the Company and the Group seek to diversify
their sources of revenue. To this end, orders are being sought and contracts are being concluded in
both private and public sectors, and markets are being searched not only in Lithuania but in other
countries as well. The companies of the Group operate in different sectors, such as construction, real
estate development, production and engineering network installation. The construction sector is not
limited to the construction of single-purpose buildings. The Company implements construction
projects for industrial, engineering, environmental and residential buildings. Before starting new
projects, the Company and the companies of the Group make a thorough analysis of the project
specifics and only after are confident that the environment is sufficiently stable and a competent team
is collected, final decisions are made.
The accounts of the Company are kept and financial statements are prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards adopted for application in the EU. The annual financial
statements are audited by the independent auditors selected by the General Meeting of Shareholders.
This procedure ensures relevance and transparency of the data provided in the financial statements.
Operational risk constitutes the risk of probability to incur losses due to people, systems, inadequate
internal processes or their failure, effects of external events, including legal risks. For the purposes
of operational risk management, the Group implements appropriate measures to ensure functioning
of the internal control system and appropriate co-operation with relevant third parties. The main
elements of internal control applied in the Group are control of operations and accounting, limits of
decision-making powers and their control, separation of business decision-making and control
functions, etc. The aim is to minimize the risk of legal compliance and ensure that the activities
carried out comply with the applicable legislation. To this end, the advice of professional lawyers

subdivisions. The review of these aspects is performed at least once per year and in case the nature
of activities or any other conditions, such as a process, materials used, technologies, etc., changes,
provided they condition occurrence of new environmental aspects. The site aspects are identified
individually for each project.
The significant environmental aspects can cause one or more significant environmental impacts and
therefore can result in risks and opportunities to be assessed in order to ensure the Company is able

products, rainwater pollution, emissions from internal combustion engines, air pollution with
particulate matter, noise, indoor dust, street pollution with dirt/dust, consumption of electricity,
water, fuel, etc.

The construction sector is a significant contributor to global CO
2
emissions due to its huge workload.
The companies of Panevezio statybos trestas AB Group are looking for ways to reduce them. This
76
is done by prioritizing optimization of resources, search for and implementation of sustainable
solutions and innovations. Modern engineering systems creating a healthy working environment are
applied in the buildings under construction.
The use of hazardous chemicals in construction sites is reduced by replacing them with less
hazardous ones. As an example, in one of our projects we used Ecocrete concrete of a special formula
developed for us and with lower CO
2
emissions, which has the same standard and early strength
indicators as common concrete, but guarantees a fairly significant reduction in CO
2
emissions. The
changed climatic conditions are taken into account in the construction process of the new buildings.
As the temperature conditions change, the needs for indoor ventilation, heating and cooling also
change. Therefore, new technological and architectural solutions are being implemented. The new
buildings construction of which is currently started by the Company are of the A++ energy efficiency
class. The buildings of the A ++ energy efficiency class use almost no thermal energy, which
contributes to the climate change mitigation.
The construction sector uses very unsustainable CO
2
-neutral materials: steel, cement, glass, etc.,
therefore solutions are being sought to make the construction process more environmentally friendly,
i. e. use of organic materials. For construction of new buildings, sustainable materials are used more
often. After the life cycle of the building these materials could be reused for a new life cycle or be
environmentally friendly and do not result in pollutions by means of recycling. One such material is
timber. Skydmedis UAB, the company of the Group, uses timber panels for the construction of
houses. Designers apply the highest standards for design and construction of a building, contributing
to environmental sustainability and healthy work environment. In the design process much attention
is paid to ensuring indoor air quality, intelligent lighting in accordance with good international
practices, sound resistance that retains external noise. The B2EAM New Construction Very Good
certificate confirming the above measures has been awarded to the Business Centre U219. This
certificate also acknowledges the responsible approach of developers to the environment and human
health, and guarantees long-term returns.
The report was prepared taking into account the Communication from the European
Commission Guidelines on Non-Financial Reporting (017/C 215/01).
Relationship with Employees
The main asset of the Company is employees, who are the most important link in achieving the
objectives. Therefore, much attention is paid to motivation of employees: environment favourable
for development of new ideas and their implementation is being created, continuous exchange of
information is taking place. In the present-day environment, competence of employees is one of the
key factors describing competitiveness of the Company. Considering this factor, the Company
encourages employees in all organizational levels to learn and develop. Employees are given the
opportunity to study, improve their qualifications, and participate in various seminars and trainings.
In 2021, the training cycles on emotional intelligence were organized, and a course on improvement
of performance appraisal skills was provided for managers. The lawyers together with the staff of
the Personnel Department attended the Annual Labour Law Conference, and training was provided
to the lawyers on the continuously changing regulation of public procurement. In 2021 considerable
attention was also paid to improving the practical skills of internal communication, for that purpose
professional lecturers were invited.
We constantly strive to become the leader in the construction market, guaranteeing safe and non-
hazardous work places for the employees of Panevezio statybos trestas AB and all employees
working on behalf of the Company. The Occupational Health and Safety Management System (ISO
45001) implemented in 2008 ensures continuous identification and assessment of OHS risk factors,
identification of risk management measures and control of their implementation for the Company.
The work and personal protective equipment is selected for the employees following the most
advanced technologies.
The professional competence of employees and perception of employees in the field of occupational
safety and health is continuously improved. Much attention is paid to prevention of accidents and
occupational diseases, and reduction of accident likelihood. Partners, suppliers and others working
77
on behalf of the Company are involved in the processes of the occupational health and safety system.
The human and financial resources are provided to maintain and continuously improve the
occupational health and safety system.
The Company continuously invests in employee training and development courses to improve their
competencies and understanding in the field of occupational health and safety. In 2022 trainings were
organized both at the Company and educational institutions. Total number of trained employees and
managers was 243 in 2022. The employees participated in the following trainings:
- workers performing activities at height,
- load handler,
- locksmiths fitters of lifting equipment,
- operators of lifting platforms and their equipment,
- OHS specialists,
- site OHS coordinators,
- first aid.
Employees are motivated not only by material incentives, such as competitive wages and salaries,
progressive bonus system, but also by exceptional quality of working environment. The Company
and the Group provides social guarantees: the allowance is paid in the event of the death of a family
member or immediate family of the employee, in case of an employee’s death, a gift to an employee
when a baby is born, on the employees anniversary birthday.
On 6 August 2021, the Works Council for representation of the employees consisting of 9 members
was elected at the Company. The Works Council submits proposals to the employer on economic,
social and work issues, which are topical to the employees, employer’s decisions, laws and other
regulations governing work relations. The Council is elected for the period of three years, which
starts from the beginning of their term of office.
Human Rights
The Group advocates equal opportunities for all employees, regardless of the employee's gender. The
majority of the Group's employees, 85% (83% of the Company), are men. This is greatly influenced
by specifics of the activity performed, i. e. women are less likely to choose the technological work
performed in construction as well as specialties in construction and technical engineering directly
related to such work and outdoor conditions.
The Company and the Group adhere to the principles for the protection of human rights and do not
tolerate any violations of human rights in their activities. They are for the fair and transparent wage
and salary policy, comply with the laws regulating overtime and working hours, respect the right of
employees to rest and do not tolerate harassment and violence of any nature.
The Company opposes any discrimination and forced labour. Employees of the Company have equal
rights and possibilities regardless their gender, nationality, social or family status, membership in
public or political organisations or personal qualities. In 2020, there were no violations of human
rights or relevant claims recorded.

Overview of the alignment with the EU Taxonomy Regulation
The Taxonomy (Taxonomy regulation, 2020/852) of the European Union (EU) is a classification system for sustainable economic activities designed to direct private
investment to environmentally sustainable activities that contribute to the environmental objectives of the European Green Deal. The Taxonomy regulation sets out
scientific evidence-based criteria for assessing the sustainability of an activity. The activities of those enterprises that fall under the Taxonomy list and meet the
criteria provided can be classified as sustainable and attract green investments.
Taxonomy-eligible economic activity is defined as the activity described in the relevant delegated acts of the Taxonomy regulation, in other words, included in the
Taxonomy. Companies that have determined that their revenue (turnover), capital expenditure (CapEx) and / or operating costs (OpEx) are related to activities
described in the delegated acts must analyse and disclose to what extent their activities meet Taxonomy criteria on these indicators.
In this report, in accordance with the provisions of the Taxonomy regulation and related delegated acts, we provide the main performance indicators and information
on the alignment of Taxonomy-eligible activities with the criteria. For information comparison, we provide data for both 2022 and 2021.
Assessment of revenue in accordance with Taxonomy
After the analysis, we found that Panevezio statybos trestas AB receives part of its revenue from Taxonomy-eligible economic activities. The Company's main
economic activity - construction - is also Taxonomy-eligible; in Taxonomy corresponding to 7.1. Construction of new buildings. Construction economic activity
accounts for the largest share of the Company's revenue, which amounted to 74.71% in 2022, and 70.89% in 2021. Other activities of the Company that are considered
Taxonomy-eligible are listed under Taxonomy as 7.7. Acquisition and ownership of buildings and 7.2. Renovation of existing buildings. The share of revenue
generated from these additional activities totaled 2.36% in 2022 and 10.57% in 2021.
The following tables show detailed results of assessing Taxonomy-eligible activities according to technical screening criteria. Technical screening criteria assess
whether an activity meets Taxonomy requirements and can be designated as sustainable regarding environmental impact. Activities are primarily assessed based on
criteria for substantial contribution to climate change mitigation and adaptation. In addition, it is assessed whether they do no significant harm (DNSH) for other
environmental goals.
During the technical screening, we found that the Company's current activities only meet some Taxonomy criteria. For example, the main activity of the Company 7.1.
Construction of new buildings is subject to quite challenging climate change mitigation criteria: new buildings must meet even higher requirements than are currently
applied to buildings of the highest energy performance class A++, which are almost energy-free. Nevertheless, we plan to look for ways to meet the Taxonomy criteria
as much as possible.

Assessment of capital expenditure (CapEx) in accordance with Taxonomy
The EU taxonomy defines capital expenditure as all additions to tangible and intangible assets during the financial year considered before depreciation, amortisation
and any re-measurements, including those resulting from revaluations and impairments, for the relevant financial year and excluding fair value changes. Also included
are additions to tangible and intangible assets resulting from business combinations.
In 2022, the Company incurred capital expenditures to improve the investment property (building) and purchase vehicles related to Taxonomy-eligible activities: 7.7.
Acquisition and ownership of buildings; 6.5. Transportation by motorcycles, passenger cars and light commercial vehicles. In 2021, in addition to the same mentioned
activities, a new 150 kW solar power plant was acquired and put into operation in the group company Skydmedis UAB, which is related to one of the individual
measures described in the Taxonomy: 7.6. Installation, maintenance and repair of renewable energy technologies.
In the following tables, we provide detailed results of the analysis of the capital expenditure (Taxonomy CapEx) to Taxonomy-eligible activities according to the
technical screening criteria. In 2021 and 2022, Taxonomy-eligible investments only met some Taxonomy criteria.

Assessment of operating costs (OpEx) in accordance with Taxonomy
Operating costs (OpEx) are defined in the Taxonomy regulation as direct non-capitalised costs that relate to research and development, building renovation measures,
short-term lease, maintenance and repair, and any other direct expenditures relating to the day-to-day servicing of assets of property, plant and equipment by the
undertaking or third party to whom activities are outsourced that are necessary to ensure the continued and effective functioning of such assets.
The accounting system currently used by the Company is not adapted to exclude data according to the definition of Taxonomy OpEx, so collecting and disclosing the
information required under the regulation in this report would have been complicated. In 2023, we plan to better prepare and provide at least the most significant data
for this indicator in next year's report.
