Standards, amendments and interpretations applicable for the first time in 2022

In 2022, following standards and interpretations have been adopted for the first time.

Standard |  | Topic |  | First-time adoption* |  | IASB effective date |  | Expected impact on the financial position and performance
Amendments to IAS 16 |  | Property, plant and equipment - revenue before intended use |  | Jan. 1, 2022 |  | Jan. 1, 2022 |  | none
Amendments to IAS 37 |  | Onerous contracts - costs of contract performance |  | Jan. 1, 2022 |  | Jan. 1, 2022 |  | none
Amendments to IFRS 3 |  | Reference to the IFRS framework |  | Jan. 1, 2022 |  | Jan. 1, 2022 |  | none
Yearly improvements 2018 - 2020 |  | IFRS 1, IFRS 9, IFRS 16 and IAS 41 |  | Jan. 1, 2022 |  | Jan. 1, 2022 |  | none

*To be applied in the first reporting period of a financial year beginning on or after this date.

The reform of the interest rate benchmarks has an impact on hedge accounting in particular. ADVA does not apply the hedge accounting rules according to IFRS 9 and is therefore not affected by the new regulations. In addition, the amendment affects the determination of contractual cash flows of financial assets and liabilities to the extent they are affected by the replacement of the previous reference interest rate. The relevant changes are accounted for in a simplified manner by updating the effective interest rate without any immediate impact on the income statement.

New accounting requirements not yet applicable for first-time adoption in 2022

The IASB and the IFRIC have issued further Standards and Interpretations in 2022 and previous years that were not applicable for the financial year 2022.

Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the group's financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities on the reporting date. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in the future. Assumptions used to make estimates are regularly reviewed. Changes in estimates only affecting one accounting period are only considered in that accounting period. In the case of changes in estimates that affect the current and future accounting periods, these are considered appropriately in the current and subsequent accounting periods.

Discussed below are the key judgments and assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation and uncertainty on the balance sheet date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

Development expenses

Development expenses are capitalized in accordance with the accounting policy described in note (4). Initial capitalization of costs is based on management judgment assuming that technological and economic feasibility is confirmed, usually when a product development project has reached a defined milestone according to an established project management model. In determining the amounts to be capitalized, management makes assumptions regarding the expected future cash generation of the assets, discount rates to be applied and the expected period of benefits. See note (13) for the carrying amounts involved.

Impairment of non-financial assets

The group assesses whether there are any indicators of impairment for all non-financial assets on each reporting date. Goodwill and other indefinite life intangibles are tested for impairment annually and at other times when such indicators exist. Other non-financial assets are tested for impairment when there are indicators that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. When value-in-use calculations are undertaken, management must estimate the expected future cash flows from the asset or cash generating unit and choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of these cash flows. See note (12) and (13) for the carrying amounts involved.

Employee Benefits

Pension and similar post-employment obligations as well as the related expenses are recognized based on actuarial calculations. The actuarial valuation of the present value of pension obligations depends on a number of assumptions regarding the discount rate, the expected salary increase rate, the expected pension trend, and life expectancy. In the event that changes in the assumptions regarding the valuation parameters are required, the future amounts of the pension obligations as well as the pension benefit costs may be affected materially. For further details on the valuation of pension obligations, see note (17).

Share-based compensation transactions

The group measures the cost of equity-settled and cash-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments on the date at which they are granted or on the balance sheet date. Estimating fair value requires determining the most appropriate valuation model for a grant of equity instruments, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This also requires determining the expected life of the option, volatility and dividend yield, as well as further assumptions. See note (31) for the carrying amounts involved.

Provisions

Significant estimates are involved in the determination of provisions related to warranty costs and legal proceedings a. The estimate of warranty claims is based on historic data and is extrapolated into the future. Legal proceedings often involve complex legal issues and are subject to substantial uncertainties. Accordingly, management exercises considerable judgment in determining whether there is a present obligation as a result of a past event at the end of the reporting period, whether it is more likely than not that such a proceeding will result in an outflow of resources and whether the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated. Other provisions are described in note (17).

Transaction price for customer loyalty programs

Points accumulated for purchases provide a material right to customers that they would not receive without entering into a contract. The transaction price is allocated to the product and the points on a relative stand-alone selling price basis. Management estimates the selling price per point on the basis of the discount granted when the points are redeemed and on the basis of the likelihood of redemption, based on past experience.

Accounting for combined supply and service contracts

ADVA provides contracts that have more than one separate performance obligation (multiple element arrangements). The transaction price is allocated to the performance obligations in the contract by reference to their relative standalone selling prices. If a standalone selling price is not directly observable ADVA will need to estimate it. These estimates have a significant impact on the timing of revenue recognition.

Leases

In determining the lease term, management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option. Extension options (or periods after termination options) are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended (or not terminated).

Taxes

Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of complex tax regulations and the amount and timing of future taxable income. Given the wide range of international business relationships and the long-term nature and complexity of existing contractual agreements, differences arising between the actual results and the assumptions made, or future changes to such assumptions, could necessitate future adjustments to tax income and expenses already recorded. The group establishes provisions, based on reasonable estimates, for possible consequences of audits by the tax authorities of the respective countries in which it operates. The amount of such provisions is based on various factors, such as experience of previous tax audits and differing interpretations of tax regulations by the taxable entity and the responsible tax authority. Such differences of interpretation may arise on a wide variety of issues depending on the conditions prevailing in the respective group company’s domicile.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for all unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available to utilize these losses. Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies. See note (25) for the carrying amounts involved.

Non-financial risks

The assessment of the impact of non-financial risks (global warming, circular economy, new regulations) on the recognition and measurement of assets and liabilities is based on significant management judgments and assumptions. Non-financial risks are assessed by management as long-term risks that currently have no significant impact on net realizable values, recoverable amounts, useful lives or the requirement to recognize provisions.

5.
Covid-19 effects

Against the background of the continuing crisis in connection with the global spreading of the Covid-19 virus, ADVA management has dealt again with the resulting risks and the relevant effects on accounting in the first half of 2022.

In the opinion of the management, there is still no sign of an increased default risk for trade receivables and contract assets. Therefore, no impact on the expected credit losses pursuant to IFRS 9 has been considered.

There was no triggering event for an impairment test pursuant to IAS 36.9 in the current reporting period. As of December 31, 2021, no impairment of goodwill or other non-current non-financial assets was required.

The German federal government as well as governments of other countries in which ADVA operates or maintains subsidiaries or branches have introduced economic stimulus measures and other bridging measures to overcome the Covid-19 crisis.

In 6M 2022 and 2021, no government support measures related to Covid-19, such as the waiver of social security contributions and the deferral of tax payments and the payment of social security contributions, were used by the group.

Deferred tax assets at ADVA Optical Networking SE and its subsidiaries, insofar they exceed the amount of deferred tax liabilities, are recognized based on forecasts of the future taxable income, which can be used for offsetting deductible temporary differences and tax loss carry forwards. At reporting date, based on the positive tax planning prepared for the relevant forecast period the recognized deferred tax assets were assessed as recoverable.

6.
Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include current funds as well as current financial assets with a remaining maturity that does not exceed three months and that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and only subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

85

On June 30, 2022, cash of EUR 1,860 thousand (December 31, 2021: EUR 2,353 thousand) held in China is subject to local exchange control regulations. These local regulations provide for restrictions on exporting capital from the country, other than through normal dividends.

Cash at banks earns interest at floating rates based on daily bank deposit rates.

Cash equivalents are invested for varying periods of between one day and three months, depending on the immediate cash requirements of the group, and earn interest at the respective short-term deposit rates.

7.
Trade accounts receivable

Trade accounts receivable are non-interest-bearing and are due within 30 to 120 days in general. For specific projects, other payment terms may be agreed.

Gross and net trade accounts receivable are as follows:

The group has a supplier finance agreement, which entitles the transfer of trade receivables from a specific customer. Credit risks and settlement risks are transferred to the financing institution. The group fully derecognizes sold trade receivables as all risks and rewards are transferred. ADVA paid an annual fee amounting to LIBOR plus 0.75 % on the volume of receivables transferred. In 6M 2022, the group incurred interest expenses of EUR 75 thousand pertaining to this arrangement (6M 2021: EUR 26 thousand).

In Q2 2020, the group concluded another revolving factoring agreement with a maximum annual volume of EUR 20,000 thousand. The contract entitles the group to transfer uninsured trade receivables with certain customers. The agreement is for an indefinite period. The risks relevant to the risk assessment in relation to the receivables sold are the default risk and the late payment risk. As of June 30, 2022, receivables amounting to EUR 7,090 thousand (December 31, 2021: EUR 7,144 thousand) were sold, of which EUR 715 thousand (December 31, 2021: EUR 718 thousand) was not paid out as reserve. These reserves are recognized in other assets.

The group accounts for the sold trade receivables from the revolving factoring agreement in the amount of their continuing involvement. On June 30, 2022, the continuing involvement asset in the amount of EUR 396 thousand (December 31, 2021: EUR 349 thousand) was recognized as a liability and includes the maximum loss for the default and late payment risk for ADVA. The fair value of these guarantees or the interest payments to be made were recognized in the profit and loss statement and also recognized as other liabilities in the amount of EUR 51 thousand (December 31, 2021: EUR 50 thousand).

On June 30, 2022, trade accounts receivable include receivables of EUR 26,306 thousand related to the existing sale of receivables agreement (December 31, 2021: EUR 12,144 thousand), for which no transfer had taken place as of June 30, 2022. These receivables are classified as fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL) all other trade receivables are measured at amortized cost (AC).

Consolidated cash flow statement

The consolidated cash flow statement has been prepared in accordance with IAS 7.

Cash and cash equivalents include short-term cash and short- term financial assets whose remaining maturity does not exceed three months. Bank overdrafts are reported in financial liabilities.

The movements of liabilities from financing activities are as follows:

(in thousands of EUR) |  | Lease liabilities |  |  | Liabilities to banks |  |  | Total liabilities from financing activities |
Jan. 1, 2021 |  |  | 27,805 |  |  |  | 62,621 |  |  |  | 90,426 |

Actual interest payments for liabilities to banks amounting to EUR 308 thousand (6M 2021: EUR 547 thousand) and interest related to lease liabilities of EUR 360 thousand (6M 2021: EUR 376 thousand) are included in cash flow from financing activities.

Non-cash changes include effective interest rate changes on liabilities to banks as well as non-cash effective increases or decreases in lease liabilities due to consideration of new lease contracts or disposal of lease contracts.

Cash and cash equivalents to which the group only has restricted access are explained in note (6).

Cash flows from investing and financing activities are determined directly, whereas the cash flow from operating activities is derived indirectly from the consolidated income before tax. When cash flow from operating activities is calculated, the changes in assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of currency translation. As a result, it is not possible to reconcile the figures to the differences in the published consolidated statement of financial position.

27.
Segment reporting

In accordance with IFRS 8, operating segments are identified based on the way information is reported internally to the chief operating decision maker, i.e. the management board, and regularly reviewed to make decisions about resources to be assigned to the segment and assess its performance. The internal organizational and management structure and the structure of internal financial reporting activities are the key factors in determining what information is reported. For making decisions about resource allocation and performance

93

assessment, management does not monitor the operating results separately on the level of business units. Therefore the reporting on individual business segment does not apply.

Within the ADVA group, management decisions are based on pro forma EBIT. Pro forma financial information excludes non-cash charges related to share-based compensation plans and amortization and impairment of goodwill and acquisition- related intangible assets. Additionally, expenses related to M&A and restructuring measures are not included. Income from capitalization of development expenses is shown as a separate line item and not deducted from research and development expenses.

Events after the balance sheet date

On August 30, 2021, ADVA and ADTRAN had announced the entry into a business combination agreement to combine the two companies and create a leading global, scaled provider of end- to-end fiber networking solutions for communications service provider, enterprise and government customers. On January 28, 2022, ADTRAN and ADVA had announced that the minimum acceptance threshold for the proposed merger with ADTRAN had been reached. On July 6, 2022, the German foreign trade authorities approved the merger. A condition of the German foreign trade authorities' approval for the merger was to combine the company's business with government customers and critical infrastructure into a separate structure. This corporate transaction and the restructuring described above may have effects on balance sheet items presented in the IFRS consolidated financial statements.

For U.S. loss-making entities where there is a change in ownership as part of a transaction, there may be a restriction on the continued use of tax attributes (for example, net operating losses, capital losses, tax credits, excess interest carryforwards, etc.). With regards to the US-subsidiary, ADVA Optical Networking North America, Inc., an indirect transfer of more than 50 % of the shares in the U.S. company occurring in connection with the ADTRAN merger could reduce its usable tax loss carry-forwards depending on the value ratios at the time of closing.

The existing financing agreements include termination rights in case of a change of control. The management board received approval from the banks to waive the termination right due to the change of control clause on March 3, 2022.

In order to finance higher inventory levels due the semiconductor crisis, ADVA concluded an EUR 15m revolving credit line with one bank. The credit line is currently fully utilized and has a maturity date of August 15, 2023. The interest rate is EURSTR + 1.4 %.

Possible effects of the corporate transaction on the Group's net assets, financial position and results of operations are currently still being examined.

There were no further events after the balance sheet date that materially impacted the net assets and financial position of the group and ADVA SE on June 30, 2022, or the group’s and the company’s financial performance for 6M 2022. Also, there were no events considered material for disclosure.
