Based on the work we have performed, we conclude that Management Commentary is in accordance with
the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Parent Company Financial Statements and has been
prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Danish Financial Statements Act. We did not identify
any material misstatement of Management Commentary.
Management’s Responsibilities for the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Parent Company
Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements and Parent Company
Financial Statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the International Financial
Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU and additional requirements in the Danish Financial Statements
Act, and for such internal control as Management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of
Consolidated Financial Statements and Parent Company Financial Statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Parent Company Financial Statements,
Management is responsible for assessing the Group’s and the Parent Company’s ability to continue as a
going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern
basis of accounting in preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Parent Company Financial
Statements unless Management either intends to liquidate the Group or the Company or to cease
operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Parent
Company Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Consolidated Financial Statements
and the Parent Company 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 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 Consolidated Financial Statements and Parent Company Financial Statements.
As part of an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs and the additional requirements applicable in
Denmark, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Consolidated Financial Statements
and the Parent Company Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform
audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence 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 Group’s and the Parent Company’s internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by Management.
Conclude on the appropriateness of Management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting in
preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Parent Company 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 Group’s and the Parent Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are
required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the Consolidated
Financial Statements and the Parent Company 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 Group and
the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and contents of the Consolidated Financial
Statements and the Parent Company Financial Statements, including the disclosures, and whether
