Notes to the consolidated financial statements

Note 1 - Basis for preparations
DHI A/S is a public limited company domiciled in Denmark.
The financial statements for 2022 have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Danish Financial Statements Act applying to large enterprises of reporting class C.
The accounting policies applied remain unchanged from last year. The Consolidated and Parent Company Financial Statements for 2022 are presented in EUR million rounded with one decimal. Notes for management remuneration and auditors fee have been presented in EUR thousand.
Reclassifications in 2022
With effect from 2022, pass through revenue arising from joint operations are presented net, as it has been evaluated that DHI acts as an agent for accounting purposes and does not actually assume risks, etc. in connection with pass through revenue. The adjustment has no effect on the result. Comparative figures have been adjusted accordingly.
In 2022, minor reclassifications have been made to comparative figures. These reclassifications have no effect on the result and overall evaluation of the financial position of the Group.
Recognition and measurement
Revenues are recognised in the income statement as earned. Furthermore, value adjustments of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value or amortised cost are recognised. Moreover, all expenses incurred to achieve the earnings for the year are recognised in the income statement, including depreciation, amortisation, impairment losses and provisions as well as reversals due to changed accounting estimates of amounts that have previously been recognised in the income statement.
Assets are recognised in the balance sheet when it is probable that future economic benefits attributable to the asset will flow to the Company, and the value of the asset can be measured reliably.
Liabilities are recognised in the balance sheet when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow out of the Company, and the value of the liability can be measured reliably.
Assets and liabilities are initially measured at cost. Subsequently, assets and liabilities are measured as described for each item.
Basis of consolidation
The Consolidated Financial Statements comprise the Parent Company, DHI A/S, and subsidiaries in which the Parent Company directly or indirectly holds more than 50% of the votes or in which the Parent Company, through share ownership or otherwise, exercises control.
On consolidation, items of a uniform nature are combined. Elimination is made of intercompany income and expenses, shareholdings, dividends and accounts as well as of realised and unrealised profits and losses on transactions between the consolidated enterprises.
The Parent Company’s investments in the consolidated subsidiaries are set off against the Parent Company’s share of the net asset value of subsidiaries stated at the time of consolidation.
Minority interests
Minority interests form part of the Group’s total equity. Upon distribution of net profit, net profit is broken down on the share attributable to minority interests and the share attributable to the share- holders of the Parent Company.
Leases
Leases in terms of which the Group assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership (finance leases) are recognised in the balance sheet at the lower of the fair value of the leased asset and the net present value of the lease payments computed by applying the interest rate implicit in the lease or an alternative borrowing rate as the discount rate. Assets acquired under finance leases are depreciated and written down for impairment under the same policy as determined for the other fixed assets of the Group.
The remaining lease obligation is capitalised and recognised in the balance sheet under debt, and the interest element on the lease payments is charged over the lease term to the income statement.
All other leases are considered operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are recognised in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
