􀁕 CREDIT DEBTORS

Broad diversification of customer portfolio. Most outstanding debtors amounts are insured by credit insurance company based on a customer’s creditworthiness test. Supplemented with strict internal debtor policy.

􀁷 LIQUIDITY, CASH FLOW AND INTEREST RATE

Financial

Liquidity and cash flow positions are monitored continuously. Scenario planning is used. The interest rate risk is partly hedged by financial instruments.

􀁷 EXCHANGE RATE

Strategic and operational

Risk of exchange rate volatility. Exposure in the upstream material supply and in our operations in Poland and the United Kingdom. Future transactions in Poland partly hedged.

The introduction of the monthly reporting based on the secured reporting format, including the continuous focus on the year end estimated results, has contributed to the risk management structure as an integral part of our internal control and monitoring procedures.

The risk-averse approach and the hedging or mitigation of the risks mentioned above ensured that the impact of undesirable changes in the commodity and exchange markets in 2021 was manageable for ROTO. The continuation of this policy will ensure that ROTO is adequately protected against these types of risks.
