Carve-out Financial Statements of DPM

A – General information about the business

DSM Protective Materials (“DPM”) is globally active in the development and production of high-performing, ultra-strong and ultra-light materials that can be used in many products and applications. The business environment of DPM is driven by the need for lightweight, sustainable solutions that offer extreme durability coupled with improved safety and ergonomics. The primary end-markets for DPM’s (intermediate) products include the personal protection, maritime and industrial industry, mechanical industry, sports and lifestyle, and other industries that require high-performing (protective) materials. Products are marketed under the Dyneema® brand. The products are manufactured and sold in several forms, including UD (uni-directional), fiber and fabrics. Products are also marketed under the Trosar™ brand, which is a cost competitive product grade that is attractive in lower value markets. DPM’s product portfolio is organized in end markets, which serve distinct key market segments and applications. The end markets are: Personal Protection (PP), Marine & Industrial Fibers (MIF), Consumer & Professional Protection (CPP), and Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UH). DPM is a global player in all end markets, with approximately 80% of sales generated in the higher value markets of North America and Europe.

DPM operates globally and was presented as a separate Business Group within the Materials cluster in the consolidated financial statements of Koninklijke DSM N.V. (“DSM”). The DPM transaction perimeter consists of dedicated legal entities as well as DPM dedicated managerial reporting units. These reporting units relate to DPM commercial/operational activities and assets included in legal entities that also comprise other DSM activities. DSM is the (ultimate) parent company of DPM, the registered office of DSM is Het Overloon 1 Heerlen, The Netherlands.

As used herein, the term ‘DSM’ is used for Koninklijke DSM N.V. or, as the context requires, for Koninklijke DSM N.V. and its group companies excluding DPM. The term ‘DSM Group’ is used for Koninklijke DSM N.V. and all its group companies, as such including DPM.

B – Introduction to the Unaudited interim condensed

combined carve-out financial statements

Basis of preparation

These Unaudited interim condensed combined carve-out financial statements for the three months ending 31 March 2022 (hereinafter: the Interim Combined Financial Statements) have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and should be read in conjunction with DPM’s combined financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2021.

The same accounting policies, methods of computation and basis of combination are followed in these Interim Combined Financial Statements as compared with the Combined Financial Statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2021 of DPM, except for the adoption of new standards effective as of 1 January 2022. DPM has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective. Several amendments and interpretations apply for the first time in 2022, but do not have an impact on the Interim Combined Financial Statements.

These Interim Combined Financial Statements do not include all of the presentation principles of IFRS as issued by the IASB for a complete set of financial statements. International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting, requires that comparative information be disclosed in respect of the previous period for all amounts reported in the financial statements, except when a standard or interpretation permits or requires otherwise. These Interim Combined Financial Statements have been prepared for the purposes of meeting the requirements of Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, which does not require the presentation of comparative information for acquisitions below a certain significance level to the acquirer. Consequently, no comparative information is presented. The

omission of comparative information results in an incomplete presentation of the Interim Combined Financial Statements in accordance with IAS 34 as issued by the IASB.

These Interim Combined Financial Statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the combined financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with DPM’s Combined Financial Statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2021.

These Interim Combined Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

Basis of combination

The Interim Combined Financial Statements follow the same basis of combination as the one used and disclosed in DPM’s Combined Financial Statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2021. Please refer to these Combined Financial Statements for more detail.

Seasonality

In cases where businesses are significantly affected by seasonal or cyclical fluctuations in sales, these items would be commented on in the notes on sales.

Selected notes on Statement of Financial Position items

Inventories

During the three months period ending 31 March 2022, inventories increased due to price increases for raw materials, higher quantities in stock related to an increased demand and a weakening of the Euro against other currencies.

Trade receivables

Trade receivable balances increased resulting from a higher demand towards the end of the three months period ended 31 March 2022, worsened ageing of receivables related to specific customers and a weakening of the Euro against other currencies. The increased risk related to these specific customers has resulted in expected credit losses recognized in the period for an amount of 1.7 million.

Other receivables

The increase of other receivables balance mainly resulted from a weakening of the Euro against other currencies for 2.4 million and additional amounts included in the other related party receivables related to the cash pool accounts of 3.6 million.

Trade payables

Trade payable balances have increased resulting from the increased prices for raw materials as well as an increased ageing of the outstanding payable balances and a weakening of the Euro against other currencies.

Cash & Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents as included in the cash flow statement are equal to the amounts included in the statement of financial position. Other related party receivables and Other related party payables as such are not considered to be cash and cash equivalents, but the related movements are presented as cash flows from operating activities, due to the nature of the funding arrangements within the DSM Group. Any additional excess cash, where legally permitted is transferred to DSM via the cash pool accounts. Through the cash pool accounts as such amounts are invested at DSM.

Borrowings

The major reason for the decrease in borrowings relates to a repayment of a related-party loan for 5.0 million in the three months ended 31 March 2022. The remainder of the movement results from exchange rate differences on the USD 111 million outstanding loan and movements in the other related party payable balances.

Fair value of financial instruments

The following methods and assumptions were used to determine the fair value of financial instruments: cash, current receivables, current borrowings (excluding current portion of long-term instruments) and other categories of current liabilities are stated at carrying amount, which approximates fair value in view of the short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of long-term instruments are based on calculations, quoted market prices or quotes obtained from intermediaries.

DPM uses the following hierarchy for determining the fair value of financial instruments:

  Level 1:

quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

  Level 2:

other techniques for which all inputs that have a significant effect on the fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly

  Level 3:

techniques that use inputs that have a significant effect on the fair value that are not based on observable market data

The following table shows the carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities, including their levels in the fair value hierarchy.

As at 31 March 2022
