FOSS provide analytics beyond measure to add value to our customers by improving quality and optimising food and agricultural production. Research & Development Activities The effort within Research & Development for generating new products and further development of existing products constitutes an important part of the FOSS values. A number of product improvements are constantly being developed whilst the product development constantly results in introduction of new products to both new as well as existing customer segments. Making sustainability a better business while improving food quality FOSS creates solutions that secure and improve food quality and optimize production. From raw material to finished product. The analysis instruments refine measurements into information management that enables business to run intelligent data-driven productions with less waste and bigger yields. Our world-leading analytical solutions makes a tangible difference for the food and agricultural industry and its use of the world’s valuable natural resources – while at the same time improving product quality and saving time and money. FOSS takes what used to be complex, time consuming, and expensive and makes it fast, dedicated, and easy-to-use. Our innovation renders elements such as manual registration, laboratory experts and the use of chem-icals unnecessary, and replaces it with intelligent solutions that give you data to act on and the power to control, optimise and run a business based solely on high quality insights and cutting-edge innovation. This has made us a crucial companion in the development of the new food and protein sources of the future. External Environment Our policy is based on an environmental proper operation and external environment is a natural part of the targets in the Company related to product quality and production. FOSS Analytical A/S currently does not have, nor in recent times has it had, court cases related to environmental matters. Knowledge Development, production and marketing of high technology analytical solutions demand highly skilled employ-ees. In order to preserve the Company’s ability to satisfy our global customers’ demand for dedicated analytical solutions it is a prerequisite that we maintain the extensive specialist knowledge and other competencies, which are deeply rooted in the organization. This is ensured through continued maintenance, education and recruiting of competent and dynamic employees on all levels. Considerable resources are used in order to make this possible. In addition, focus on employer branding to attract and retain talent and experts is high. Risk Operating Risk The main operating risk for the Company is concerning the ability to be strongly positioned in the market and at the cutting edge of the technological development for end-to-end solutions that secure and improve food quality. This risk is influenced by broader macroeconomic factors such as a potential global economic slowdown and shifts in global food demand. The Company mitigates these risks through continuous innovation, close collaboration with customers, a broad product portfolio across multiple food segments and regions, and an ongoing focus on operational efficiency and commercial agility. The Company has entered longer-term contracts with key suppliers for delivery of components that are a part of production in the aim of securing a stable supply and a higher predictability in price development. In recent years our offering to the market contains more digital offerings as well as more online and interface connections within our IT infrastructure. It is our aim to continuously reduce our risk of being compromised and thus significant resources for improving the Group’s IT infrastructure and security are being invested. Financial risk The financial risk is primarily related to changes in currency exchange rates. Currencies with possible highest impact is USD, AUD and CNY. Credit risk The main credit risk for the Company derives from ordinary customer transactions with restrictive guidelines for trade with new customers and customers located in zones of particular high credit risk while trade with known and credit rated customers are completed on accommodative conditions. These conditions have his-torically resulted in very few losses on debtors. Development in activities and financial conditions Revenue increased by 6.8% to DKK 1,932 million (DKK 1,809 million in 2024), in line with management’s expectations of 6-8% growth.
