Debtors
Operational and financial
Diversified customer portfolio. Insurance of credit risks, supplemented by a strict internal debtor policy.
Liquidity, cash flow and interest rate
Financial
Increased commodity prices lead to increased working capital. Liquidity monitored continuously. 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 monthly reporting based on the secured reporting format, including the continuous focus on the estimated year-end 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 above risks ensured that the impact of undesirable changes in commodity and exchange markets were manageable for ROTO in 2022. The continuation of this policy ensures that ROTO is adequately protected against these types of risks.
