Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Shareholder of FOSS Analytical A/S
Opinion
In our opinion, the Financial Statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company at
31 December 2025, and of the results of the Company’s operations for the financial year 1 January - 31
December 2025 in accordance with the Danish Financial Statements Act.
We have audited the Financial Statements of FOSS Analytical A/S for the financial year 1 January - 31 Decem-
ber 2025, which comprise income statement, balance sheet, statement of changes in equity and notes, includ-
ing a summary of significant accounting policies (“the Financial Statements”).
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) and the additional
requirements applicable in Denmark. Our responsibilities under those standards and requirements are further
described in the “Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Statements” section of our report. We
are independent of the Company in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’
International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) and the additional ethical requirements
applicable in Denmark, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these require-
ments and the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate
to provide a basis for our opinion.
Statement on Management’s Review
Management is responsible for Management’s Review.
Our opinion on the Financial Statements does not cover Management’s Review, and we do not express any
form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read Management’s Review
and, in doing so, consider whether Management’s Review is materially inconsistent with the Financial State-
ments or our knowledge obtained during the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
Moreover, it is our responsibility to consider whether Management’s Review provides the information required
under the Danish Financial Statements Act.
Based on the work we have performed, in our view, Management’s Review is in accordance with the Financial
Statements and has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Danish Financial Statements
Act. We did not identify any material misstatement in Management’s Review.
Management's responsibilities for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accord-
ance with the Danish Financial Statements Act, and for such internal control as Management determines is
necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether
due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Financial Statements, Management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to con-
tinue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going
concern basis of accounting in preparing the Financial Statements unless Management either intends to liqui-
date the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
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 conducted in
3
accordance with ISAs and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if,
individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of
users taken on the basis of these Financial Statements.
As part of an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark,
we exercise professional 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 evi-
dence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a
material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error as fraud may
involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
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 in
preparing the Financial Statements and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material
uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are re-
quired 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 contents of the Financial Statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events
in a manner that gives a true and fair view.
Plan and perform the audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the consolidated
financial information of the entities or business units as a basis for forming an opinion on the Financial
Statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and review of the audit work performed.
We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope
and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control
that we identify during our audit.

Management Commentary
The FOSS mission
FOSS contribute to the sustainable use of our planet’s agricultural resources and thus to the nutrition and
health of the people of the world.
FOSS provide analytics beyond measure to add value to our customers by improving quality and optimising
food and agricultural production.
Main Activity
FOSS creates solutions that secure and improve food quality and optimize production. From raw material to
finished product. Our analysis instruments refine measurements into information management that enables
businesses to run intelligent data-driven productions with less waste and bigger yields.
Controlling cost and quality across all sectors and value chains, we help food and agricultural producers limit
the number of human errors, scale their business faster and reduce labour costs. We call these analytics
beyond measure.
We cover these food and agricultural industries: Dairy, Feed & Forage, Grain, Flour Milling & Oilseed Pro-
cessing, Laboratories, Meat, Raw Milk Testing and Wine & Beer.
FOSS Analytical A/S is 100% owned by FOSS A/S which is part of the N. Foss & Co. A/S consolidated group
accounts (Ultimate Parent Company). FOSS Analytical A/S develops and produces its products in Denmark and
markets them worldwide through affiliated companies, independent distributors and directly. To support it’s
main activities, FOSS Analytical A/S owns 100% of Softlow (Hungary).
Research & Development Activities
The effort within Research & Development for generating new products and further development of existing
products constitutes an important part of the FOSS values. A number of product improvements are constantly
being developed whilst the product development constantly results in introduction of new products to both
new as well as existing customer segments.
Making sustainability a better business while improving food quality
FOSS creates solutions that secure and improve food quality and optimize production. From raw material to
finished product. The analysis instruments refine measurements into information management that enables
business to run intelligent data-driven productions with less waste and bigger yields.
Our world-leading analytical solutions makes a tangible difference for the food and agricultural industry and
its use of the world’s valuable natural resources while at the same time improving product quality and saving
time and money.
FOSS takes what used to be complex, time consuming, and expensive and makes it fast, dedicated, and easy-
to-use. Our innovation renders elements such as manual registration, laboratory experts and the use of chem-
icals unnecessary, and replaces it with intelligent solutions that give you data to act on and the power to
control, optimise and run a business based solely on high quality insights and cutting-edge innovation. This
has made us a crucial companion in the development of the new food and protein sources of the future.
External Environment
Our policy is based on an environmental proper operation and external environment is a natural part of the
targets in the Company related to product quality and production. FOSS Analytical A/S currently does not have,
nor in recent times has it had, court cases related to environmental matters.

ment the Ten Principles in our company.

Data ethics statement
FOSS is a responsible employer and a trusted partner to our customers and business partners. We do our

We have taken a strategic approach to data ethics and have established an initial global Data Ethics Policy re-
garding use of data and new technologies.
The Data Ethics Policy is about responsible and sustainable use of data and new technologies and complements
e.g., the principles of transparency and data minimization in FOSS’ Global Data Protection Policy as well as
rules on integrity and confidentiality. The policy also supplements policies on handling of personal data, use
of cookies etc.
The FOSS Data Ethics Policy has been prepared as an overall framework and it applies to the FOSS Group.

Policy. For more information on sustainability and information requires by Danish Financial Statements Act
99b, please refer to the ESG section in the Management review in the Annual Report 2025 for the parent FOSS
A/S (https://www2.fossanalytics.com/FOSS-Annual-Report-2025).
Knowledge
Development, production and marketing of high technology analytical solutions demand highly skilled employ-
ees. In order to preserve the Company’s ability to satisfy our global customers’ demand for dedicated analytical
solutions it is a prerequisite that we maintain the extensive specialist knowledge and other competencies,
which are deeply rooted in the organization. This is ensured through continued maintenance, education and
recruiting of competent and dynamic employees on all levels. Considerable resources are used in order to
make this possible. In addition, focus on employer branding to attract and retain talent and experts is high.
Risk
Operating Risk
The main operating risk for the Company is concerning the ability to be strongly positioned in the market and
at the cutting edge of the technological development for end-to-end solutions that secure and improve food
quality. This risk is influenced by broader macroeconomic factors such as a potential global economic slowdown
and shifts in global food demand. The Company mitigates these risks through continuous innovation, close
collaboration with customers, a broad product portfolio across multiple food segments and regions, and an
ongoing focus on operational efficiency and commercial agility.
The Company has entered longer-term contracts with key suppliers for delivery of components that are a part
of production in the aim of securing a stable supply and a higher predictability in price development.
7
In recent years our offering to the market contains more digital offerings as well as more online and interface
connections within our IT infrastructure. It is our aim to continuously reduce our risk of being compromised
and thus significant resources for improving the Groups IT infrastructure and security are being invested.
Financial risk
The financial risk is primarily related to changes in currency exchange rates. Currencies with possible highest
impact is USD, AUD and CNY.
Credit risk
The main credit risk for the Company derives from ordinary customer transactions with restrictive guidelines
for trade with new customers and customers located in zones of particular high credit risk while trade with
known and credit rated customers are completed on accommodative conditions. These conditions have his-
torically resulted in very few losses on debtors.
Development in activities and financial conditions
Revenue increased by 6.8% to DKK 1,932 million (DKK 1,809 million in 2024), in line with management’s
expectations of 6-8% growth.
Gross profit amounts to DKK 1,291 million (DKK 1,139 million in 2024).
Operating profit amounts to DKK 615 million (DKK 520 million in 2024), corresponding to an operating profit
margin of 31.8% (including non‑recurring costs), compared to 28.7% in 2024.
Profit before tax amounts to DKK 601 million (DKK 513 million in 2024), corresponding to an increase of
17.1%. The increase surpassed the expected 68% and is attributable to an improved gross margin from a
favorable product mix, enhanced operational performance, and sustained profitability efforts.
Profit for the year increased by 18.5% to DKK 477 million (DKK 402 million in 2024).
The average number of employees in 2025 was 676 (648 in 2024).
Uncertainty relating to recognition and measurement
There are no significant uncertainties related to the annual report according to the management.
Unusual circumstances
The annual report is not impacted by any unusual circumstances.
Expected development
Investments in sales and distribution activities as well as product development activities will continue in 2026.
Management expects this to strengthen FOSS Analytical A/S’ market position and contribute to fulfil the growth
strategy for the Company in supplying high quality solutions for the increasing demand of food quality.
It is the expectation that the Company will see increasing revenue and profit before tax on 7% to 9% in the
coming year.
Subsequent events
No events have occurred after the balance sheet date to this date, which would influence the evaluation of
this annual report.

Accounting Principles
Basis of preparation
This annual report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Danish Financial Statements
Act governing reporting class C enterprises (large).
Referring to section 112 (2) of the Danish Financial Statements Act, no consolidated financial statements have
been prepared, as the Company is included in FOSS A/S consolidated financial Statements.
The accounting policies for these financial statements are consistent with those applied last year.
The annual report is prepared in thousands DKK.
The Company has made certain reclassifications to the income statement for the comparative period. These
reclassifications had no impact on the net income for the year or on equity.
Recognition and measurement
Assets are recognized in the balance sheet when it is probable as a result of a prior event that future economic
benefits will flow to the Company, and the value of the assets can be measured reliably.
Liabilities are recognized in the balance sheet when the Company has a legal or constructive obligation as a
result of a prior event, and it is probable that future economic benefits will flow out of the Company, and the
value of the liabilities can be measured reliably.
On initial recognition, assets and liabilities are measured at cost. Measurement subsequent to initial recognition
is affected as described below for each financial statement item.
Anticipated risks and losses that arise before the time of presentation of the annual report and that confirm
or invalidate affairs and conditions existing at the balance sheet date are considered at recognition and meas-
urement.
Income is recognized in the income statement when earned, whereas costs are recognized by the amounts
attributable to this financial year.
Foreign currency translation
On initial recognition, foreign currency transactions are translated applying the exchange rate at the transac-
tion date. Receivables, payables and other monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that have not
been settled at the balance sheet date are translated using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date.
Exchange differences that arise between the rate at the transaction date and the one in effect at the payment
date or the rate at the balance sheet date are recognized in the income statement as financial income or
financial expenses. Property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, inventories and other non-monetary
assets that have been purchased in foreign currencies are translated using historical rates.
When recognizing associates that are independent entities, the income statements are translated at average
exchange rates for the months that do not significantly deviate from the rates at the transaction date. Balance
sheet items are translated using the exchange rates at the balance sheet date.
20
Income statement
Revenue
Revenue from the sale of manufactured goods and goods for resale is recognized in the income statement
when delivery is made, and risk has passed to the buyer.
Revenue from service agreements is recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract period, as the service
obligation is delivered evenly over time. Invoiced amounts relating to future periods are recognized as deferred
income.
Revenue is recognized net of VAT, duties and sales discounts and measured at fair value of the consideration
fixed.
Other operating income
Other operating income and expenses comprise income and expenses of a secondary nature viewed in relation
to the Company’s primary activities, including subsidies, rental income, license income, etc.
Expenses for raw materials and consumables
Expenses for raw materials and consumables comprises costs of sales for the financial year measured at cost,
adjusted for ordinary inventory write-downs.
Other external expenses
Other external expenses comprise expenses for distribution, sale, marketing, administration, premises, bad
debts, etc.
Other external expenses also include research costs, costs of development projects that do not meet the
criteria for recognition in the balance sheet, and amortization of recognized development projects.
Staff costs
Staff costs comprise salaries and wages as well as social security costs, pension contributions, etc. for the
Company’s staff.
Other financial income and expenses
These items comprise interest income and expenses, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses on pay-
ables and transactions in foreign currencies as well as tax surcharge and tax relief under the Danish Tax
Prepayment Scheme.
Income taxes
Tax for the year, which consists of current tax for the year and changes in deferred tax, is recognized in the
income statement by the portion attributable to the profit for the year and recognized directly in equity by the
portion attributable to entries directly in equity. The portion of the tax taken to the income statement, which
relates to extraordinary profit/loss for the year, is allocated to this entry whereas the remaining portion is
taken to the year’s profit/loss from ordinary activities.
The current tax payable or receivable is recognized in the balance sheet, stated as tax calculated on this year’s
taxable income, adjusted for prepaid tax.
Deferred tax is recognized on all temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax-based value of
assets and liabilities, for which the tax-based value of assets is calculated based on the planned use of each
asset.
Deferred tax is measured based on the tax regulations and tax rates that will be in effect, using the laws at
the balance sheet date, when the deferred tax is estimated to be triggered as current tax. Changes in deferred
tax resulting from changed tax rates are recognized in the income statement.
21
Deferred tax assets, including the tax base of tax loss carry forwards, are recognized in the balance sheet at
their estimated realizable value within 3-5 years, either as a set-off against deferred tax liabilities or as net tax
assets.
Deferred tax relating to re-taxation of previously deducted losses of foreign subsidiaries is recognized based
on a specific assessment of the purpose of the individual subsidiary.
Balance Sheet
Intangible assets
Intangible assets comprise acquired intellectual property rights in form of of patents and licenses.
Acquired intellectual property rights in the form of patents and licenses are measured at cost less accumulated
amortization and impairment losses. Patents are amortized over their remaining duration, and licenses are
amortized over the term of the agreement, but over no more than 7 years.
Intangible assets are written down to the lower of recoverable amount and carrying amount.
Profits and losses from the sale of intangible assets are calculated as the difference between selling price less
selling costs and the carrying amount at the time of sale. Profits or losses are recognized in the income
statement as an adjustment to amortization and impairment losses, or under other operating income if the
selling price exceeds original cost.
Tangible Assets
Property, plant and equipment
Plant and machinery as well as other fixtures and fittings, tools and equipment are measured at cost less
accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Land is not depreciated.
Cost comprises the acquisition price, costs directly attributable to the acquisition, and preparation costs of the
asset until the time when it is ready to be put into operation.
The basis of depreciation is cost less estimated residual value after the end of useful life. Straight-line depre-
ciation is made on the basis of the following estimated useful lives of the assets:
Plant and machinery 3-5 years
Other fixtures and fittings, tools and equipment 3-5 years
Leasehold improvements through the rental period
Property, plant and equipment are written down to the lower of recoverable amount and carrying amount.
Profits and losses from the sale of property, plant and equipment are calculated as the difference between
selling price less selling costs and carrying amount at the time of sale. Profits or losses are recognized in the
income statement as adjustment to depreciation and impairment losses, or under other operating income if
the selling price exceeds original cost.
Investments in subsidiaries and associates
Investments in subsidiaries and associates are recognized and measured under the equity method. This means
that investments are measured at the pro rata share of the enterprises’ equity plus or less unamortized posi-
tive, or negative, goodwill and plus or less unrealized intra-group profits or losses.
The Parent's share of the enterprises' profits or losses after elimination of unrealized intra-group profits and
losses and less or plus amortization of positive, or negative, goodwill is recognized in the income statement.
22
Subsidiaries and associates with a negative equity value are measured at zero value, and any receivables from
these enterprises are written down by the Parent’s share of such negative equity if it is deemed irrecoverable.
If the negative equity exceeds the amount receivable, the remaining amount is recognized under provisions if
the Parent has a legal or constructive obligation to cover the liabilities of the relevant enterprise.
Upon distribution of profit or loss, net revaluation of investments in subsidiaries and associates is transferred
to reserve for net revaluation according to the equity method under equity.
Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost using the FIFO method and net realizable value.
Cost of goods for resale, raw materials and consumables consists of purchase price plus delivery costs. Cost
of manufactured goods and work in progress consists of costs of raw materials, consumables and direct labor
costs as well as indirect production costs.
Indirect production costs comprise indirect materials and labor costs, costs of maintenance of and depreciation
and impairment losses on machinery, factory buildings and equipment applied for the manufacturing process
as well as costs of factory administration and management. Financing costs are not included in cost.
The net realizable value of inventories is calculated as the estimated selling price less completion costs and
costs incurred to execute sale.
Receivables
Receivables are measured at amortized cost, usually equalling nominal value less provisions for bad debts.
Prepayments
Prepayments comprise incurred costs relating to subsequent financial years. Prepayments are measured at
cost.
Dividend
The proposed dividend for the financial year is disclosed as a separate item in equity.
Other provisions
Other provisions comprise anticipated warranty commitments.
Other provisions are recognized and measured as the best estimate of the expenses required to settle the
liabilities at the balance sheet date. Provisions that are estimated to mature more than one year after the
balance sheet date are measured at their discounted value.
Warranty commitments comprise commitments to remedy defects and deficiencies within the guarantee pe-
riod.
Provision for negative equity value of subsidiaries are measured at the amount exceeding any receivables from
the subsidiaries.
Lease commitments
Lease payments on operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis in the income statement over the
term of the lease.
Other financial liabilities
Other financial liabilities are recognized at amortized cost which usually corresponds to nominal value.
23
Deferred income
Def
erred income comprises received income for recognition in subsequent financial years. Deferred income is
measured at cost.
