NYAB Plc has decided on the transition to IFRS reporting and publishes consolidated IFRS financial statements for 2022
NYAB Plc transitions from the Finnish Accounting Standards (FAS) to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The company has prepared consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended on 31 December 2022 in accordance with IFRS standards. The consolidated financial statements have been attached to this announcement in their entirety together with the auditor’s report. The consolidated financial statements also include comparative financial information for the financial year ended on 31 December 2021. The transition date for the IFRS reporting is 1 January 2021.
The adoption of IFRS standards results in a major change in NYAB’s reported financial information, as NYAB Sverige AB that NYAB Plc acquired on 31 March 2022 becomes the parent company of the group in accounting. The transaction between the companies has been treated as a reverse acquisition in accordance with IFRS 3 standard, in which case NYAB Sverige AB has been considered as the accounting acquirer and the legal parent company NYAB Plc (Skarta Group Plc at the moment of the transaction) as the accounting acquiree. Consequently, NYAB’s Finnish group companies have been consolidated to the IFRS financial statements as of 31 March 2022, and the prior financial information includes figures of NYAB Sverige AB subgroup.
Regarding the consolidated balance sheet, the treatment of the transaction as a reverse acquisition has a particular effect on the calculation of consolidated goodwill. Consequently, goodwill in the IFRS balance sheet of 31 December 2022 is EUR 85.4 million less than in the consolidated balance sheet under FAS. Under IFRS, goodwill is not amortized, but it is regularly tested for impairment. Therefore, transition to IFRS reporting significantly improves the operating profit (EBIT) of the group that has been significantly affected by the amortization of consolidated goodwill under FAS. Other significant transition effects have been presented in section “2. First-time adoption of IFRS standards” of the consolidated financial statements.
