Consolidated annual financial statements of the PragmaGO S.A. Group as of and for the 12-month period ended
December 31, 2024
82
Currency risk
The Group seeks to minimize foreign exchange risk by matching liability exposures to the value of
receivables denominated in the same foreign currency. The Group currently has significant foreign currency
exposures in the euro and the Romanian leu (Note 20.4).
Liquidity risk
Due to the financing of operations with external capital to a significant extent, the Group is exposed to a
medium degree to liquidity risk, understood as the risk of encountering difficulties in raising funds to meet
obligations under financial instruments. In addition to own funds, sources of financing include funds raised
through bond issuances, bank loans, borrowings and leasing agreements. Despite the increase in the value
of the ratio of net interest debt to equity in the period of 2024 for the Group (269% - 31.12.2024, 182% -
31.12.2023).
As of the date of publication of these financial statements, the Group has the ability to pay its obligations
on time. This is due to the following factors mitigating this risk:
● the average turnover cycle of factoring receivables is short and was 36 days (as of December 31, 2024,
as of December 31, 2023 it was 33 days). This allows for quick conversion of financial assets into cash at fair
value and immediate settlement of financial liabilities,
● The risk of financial liabilities coming to immediate maturity or having to cash out faster than indicated
in Note 20.2 is of limited materiality, as the Group has a diversified financing structure. The Group finances
its operations through issued corporate bonds with maturities of 2 to 4 years and through loans and
borrowings with a financing period of 1 to 2 years.
On the asset side, the main source of liquidity risk is the risk of non-payment of loan and factoring
receivables. Market liquidity risk is a type of risk, the symptom of which is the total or partial inability to
liquidate the assets held or the possibility of selling these assets only at an unfavourable price. Liquidity risk
is mitigated by high asset turnover.
If the Group's financial situation deteriorates, resulting in insufficient funds to repay the debt on time or in
violation of specific contractual provisions or the terms and conditions of the bond issue, bondholders or
financial institutions may place the debt to immediate maturity. Excessive indebtedness or the market
situation may further limit the availability of additional external financing needed for the Issuer's growth and
the achievement of its strategic goals. The Group identifies specific risks for each type of financing it uses
in conducting its core operations.
The described risks are minimized through active management of the Group's receivables and liabilities, so
that each time, in advance, the Group has available cash in an amount that allows it to settle its maturing
obligations. In addition, the bonds issued by the Parent Company to date have original maturities of 2 to 4
years, and the maturities of individual bond series vary. As a result, in the event that it is not possible to
issue another series of bonds, the Parent Company is able to plan in advance to replace some of its existing
sources of financing with new ones (bank financing or off-balance sheet financing) or, if necessary, to plan
a temporary reduction of its operations (reduce its working debt portfolio) and adjust its scale to the volume
of available financing.
The Group's objective of liquidity risk management is to shape the structure of its balance sheet and off-
balance sheet liabilities in such a way as to ensure constant liquidity while taking into account the
optimization of Financial expenses. The Group evaluates the level of liquidity based on:
● Statement of the mismatch between the maturity of assets and liabilities (liquidity gap analysis),
● flow of funds analysis,
● Ratio analysis based on liquidity ratios and asset turnover ratios.
