2. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
2.1. Basis of preparation
Statement of Compliance
The Company's individual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Order of the Minister of
Public Finance no. 2.844/2016 for the approval of the accounting regulations in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union ("OMFP 2844/2016"), as amended.
OMFP 2844/2016 with subsequent amendments is in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, as adopted by
the European Union (EU), except for the provisions of IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates
on Functional Currency , the provisions of IAS 20 Accounting for Government Grants on the recognition of revenue
from green certificates, with the exception of IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers in respect of revenue
from fees for connection to the distribution network and with the exception of IAS 12 Income Taxes in respect of the
treatment of the minimum tax on turnover as an income tax expense. These exceptions do not affect the compliance
of the Company's financial statements with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU .
The individual financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis, except for equity investments,
which are measured at fair value through profit and loss. The individual financial statements are presented in
Lei ("RON"), which is the Company's functional currency, except when otherwise stated..
Going concern
These individual financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis.
The Company recorded during 2024 a profit in the amount of RON 59,180,465 (2023: profit in the amount of RON
30,037,733), positive operating cash flows and net current liabilities in the amount of RON 206,653,945 (December
31, 2023: net current liabilities in the amount of RON 244,374,377).
The situation in which current liabilities exceed current assets is not unusual for companies in the motor vehicle
rental business because assets acquired for the purpose of rental to end customers are classified as fixed assets
(mainly "Rental fleet and rental equipment" and "Right to use assets") until the termination of the contract, when
they are reclassified as current assets ("Inventories") at their net book value (see note 2.3.8). In contrast,
liabilities related to the financing of these assets (mainly "Interest-bearing loans and borrowings" as well as
"Lease liabilities") have both a long-term liability component and a short-term liability component, relating to
amounts to be paid within up to one year, even if the financed assets are fully disclosed as fixed assets. The
Company also has operating leases in place for periods greater than one year, for which lease payments are to be
collected gradually until the leases are terminated (see Note 19). As of December 31, 2024, the Company had on
its balance sheet Cash and cash equivalents amounting to RON 193,638,407. Also, as at December 31, 2024, the
Company had unused availability on its credit facilities in the amount of RON 5,877,713 and Euro 30,398,883
(December 31, 2023: RON 19,239,869 and Euro 42,877,795) therefore being able to meet any unforeseen cash
needs. Management considers that it is appropriate to use the going concern principle in the preparation of the
financial statements. Management has based its assessment using detailed projections of the Company's cash
flows for the period to June 30, 2026, prepared using assumptions that include the estimated indirect impact of the
crisis generated by the war in Ukraine based on information available at the end of December 2024. These
projections take into consideration the Company's current available cash resources as of December 31, 2024, the
most recent projections of contracted operating revenues, anticipated additional operating revenues from new lease
contracts to be entered into during the period covered by the projections, as well as the funding of current contracted
liability and the current financial liability position as of the reporting date, investments in the rental fleet and other
commitments. Management has also projected an increase in profitability in the period through June 30, 2026. This
is based on fleet growth for both business divisions, renewal of maturing contracts at costs adapted to the new
market conditions, maintenance of acquisition costs and residual values for the fleet at the previous year's level,
and optimization of the workforce. In order to cover the estimated financing needs, in addition to the availability as
at December 31, 2024, the Company is in advanced negotiations for additional financing in the amount of 11.2
million Euro in 2025 and is about to start negotiations with leasing companies to supplement the existing ceilings.

2. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
2.2 Legal merger of the parent company and the subsidiary
The individual financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and the absorbed
subsidiaries BT Operational Leasing (absorbed on January 1, 2021) and Premium Leasing (absorbed on May 1,
2022).
2.3 Summary of accounting policies material
The material accounting policies applied by the Company in the preparation of these individual financial
statements are set out below.
2.3.0 Business combinations and goodwill
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured
as the sum of the consideration transferred, which is measured at the acquisition date at fair value, and the
amount of any noncontrolling interest in the acquisition.
For each combination, the Company elects whether to measure the noncontrolling interest in the acquisition at fair
value or at the proportionate share of the amount recognized related to the identifiable net assets. Acquisition-
related costs are expensed as incurred and included in the income statement.
Goodwill is initially measured at cost (being the excess of the total consideration transferred and the amount
recognized for non-controlling interests and any other interests held over the net identifiable assets acquired and
liabilities assumed).
After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of
impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the date of acquisition, allocated to each
cash-generating unit expected to benefit from the combination, regardless of whether other assets or liabilities are
allocated to those units.
2.3.1 Classification of current vs. non-current assets
The company presents assets and liabilities in the financial statement headings considering the current / non-
current classification. An asset is current when:
• It is estimated to be realized or intended to be sold or consumed in the normal operating cycle;
• The main purpose of holding is trading;
• It is expected to be realized within twelve months of the reporting period;
• Represents cash or cash equivalents, unless it is restricted to exchange or use to settle a liability for at
least twelve months after the reporting period.
All other assets are classified as non-current assets.
A liability is current when:
• It is estimated that it will be extinguished during the normal operating cycle;
• It is held primarily for trading purposes;
• Expires less than 12 months after the reporting period, or
• There is no unconditional right to postpone liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.
The company classifies all other liabilities as long-term liability.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets or long-term liabilities.
2.3.2 Fair value measurement
Disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments and non-financial assets that are measured at fair value or
the circumstances in which fair values are disclosed are summarized in the relevant notes.

2. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate to the circumstances and for which there is sufficient
data for fair value measurement, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of
unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured and disclosed in the financial statements are categorized
within the fair value hierarchy. This is described as follows, based on the lowest significant level for the entire fair
value measurement:
• Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
• Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest significant level for fair value is observable, either directly or
indirectly;
• Level 3 - valuation techniques for which the lowest significant level for fair value assessment is unobservable.
For assets and liabilities that are recognized at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis at the end
of each reporting period, the Company determines whether there are instances in which certain assets or liabilities
have transferred between levels defined by the fair value hierarchy (based on the lowest level of information that is
significant to the fair value measurement) at the end of each reporting period.
2.3.3 Revenue recognition
Revenues include vehicle rental income - operating lease, rent-a-car income, equipment rental income -
operating lease, income from services in addition to operating lease, sale of goods and other rental income.
A) Operating lease (vehicles and equipment), rent-a-car income and other operating leasing
income
Vehicle and equipment rental income
Operating lease income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, based on all contractual payments
divided by the number of months of the lease.
Rent-a-car income is recognized ratably over the period (number of rental days in the accounting period) during
which the vehicles are rented under the rental contract.
End of contract/termination fees consists of fees charged to customers on early termination of leases and is included
in this category of income.
Other operating lease income
Other operating lease income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
B) Revenue from contracts with customers
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when control of goods and services is transferred to the
customer at an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those
goods and services. The Company has generally concluded that it is the principal in its revenue arrangements
because it typically controls the goods or services before transferring them to the customer.
Income from services additional to vehicle rental
Additional vehicle lease services include charges for repair and maintenance services, tire changes,
replacement car and insurance services and other contractual components. These services represent different
performance obligations and are generally recognized over the term of the contract based on monthly lease
payments as the vehicle is continuously with the customer and the service is continuously used or the customer
will have access to the service during the term of the contract, except for tire changes, which are recognized
at a certain point in time when the service is performed.

2. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Revenue from the sale of vehicles
Revenue from the sale of vehicles refers to cars purchased for resale and is recognized at the time when
control of the asset is transferred to the customer, usually upon delivery of the car.
Proceeds from sale of cars from rental fleet and rental equipment
Proceeds from sale of cars from rental fleet and rental equipment (operating leases and rental contracts) are
recognized at the time when control over the asset is transferred to the customer, usually upon delivery of the
vehicle.
The Company considers whether there are other promises in the contract that represent different performance
obligations, of which a proportion of the transaction price must be allocated (e.g. guarantees, loyalty points).
In determining the transaction price for the sale of goods, the Company considers the effects of variable
consideration, the existence of significant financing components, non-monetary consideration and
consideration payable to the customer (if any).
Trade receivables
A receivable represents the Company's right to a consideration that is unconditional (e.g. only the passage of
time is necessary before payment of the consideration is due). Trade receivables are unpaid current
receivables arising from operating leases or receivables arising from the sale of inventories.
Refer to the accounting policies on financial assets in section 2.3.12 Financial instruments - initial recognition
and subsequent measurement.
Contract liabilities
A contract liability is an obligation to transfer goods and services to a customer for which the Company has
received consideration (or part of the consideration is due) from the customer. If a customer pays consideration
before the Company transfers the goods or services to the customer, a contractual liability is recognized when
payment is made or payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract payables are recognized as revenue when
the Company renders services or sells goods under a contract. For the Company, advances from customers
for motor vehicles to be sold are classified as contract payables in accordance with IFRS 15.
2.3.4 Foreign currencies
The Company's individual financial statements are presented in RON.
Transactions in foreign currency are converted into RON by applying the exchange rate prevailing on the
transaction date. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency at the year-end are translated
into RON at the exchange rate prevailing at that date. Realized or unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses
are recognized in profit or loss.
The main foreign currencies used by the Company are the EURO ("EUR", "EURO") and the US Dollar ("USD").
The RON - EUR and RON - USD exchange rates at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were:

2.3.5 Tax
Current income tax
Income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be
recovered or paid to the tax authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used in calculating the amounts are those
enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period in Romania, the country in which the
Company operates and generates taxable income.
Current income tax on items recognized directly in equity is recognized in equity and not in the income
statement. Management periodically evaluates tax returns for situations where the applicable tax rules are
subject to interpretation and establishes provisions when necessary.
Deferred profit tax
Deferred income tax is recognized using the balance sheet liability method on temporary differences between
the tax base of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and their net carrying amount for financial
reporting purposes at the reporting date.
Deferred income tax relating to items recognized outside the profit or loss account is recognized outside the
profit or loss account. Deferred income tax items are recognized, depending on the nature of the underlying
transaction, in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
Sales taxes (VAT and similar taxes)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognized net of tax except for the following:
• When a tax incurred on the acquisition of assets or services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in
which case the tax is recognized in the acquisition cost of the asset or as part of the expense, as appropriate;
• Receivables and payables are shown with taxes included in the amount.
The net amount of tax recoverable from or payable to the tax authority is included in the amount of receivables
or payables in the statement of financial position.
2.3.6 Rental fleet, rental equipment and other property, plant and equipment
The rental fleet, rented equipment and other property, plant and equipment for own use are stated at
cost net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost consists of the purchase
price and directly attributable costs. Assets subject to operating leases and rental contracts are
presented in the balance sheet according to the nature of the asset. Subsequent costs are included in
the carrying amount of the asset or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is
probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost
of the item can be measured reliably.
All repair and maintenance costs are recognized in the income statement as incurred.
Depreciation method
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset as follows:
Years
Rental fleet – Rental vehicles*
4
Rental equipment and machinery
3 - 10
Other furniture, furnishings, accessories and equipment
3 - 24
*The fleet is depreciated on a straight-line basis to their estimated residual values at the expected date
of disposal, after considering anticipated market conditions for the cars used.

2. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of rental fleet, rental equipment and other
property, plant and equipment are reviewed at the end of each financial year or during the financial year if
necessary and adjusted prospectively.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized when it is sold or when no future economic benefits
are expected from its use or sale.
Any gain or loss arising on the derecognition of an asset (calculated as the difference between the net proceeds
from the sale and the asset's remaining carrying amount) is included in the income statement when the asset
is derecognized.
Upon completion of the lease or rental contracts and once the Company obtains ownership of these assets
and Management decides to sell them, the relevant assets are reclassified as "Inventories" at net carrying
amount in accordance with IAS 16 paragraph 68A and the proceeds are recognized as revenue in accordance
with IFRS 15.
The depreciation policy for depreciable leased assets (under leases with an option to transfer ownership or
purchase option) is consistent with the Company's normal depreciation policy for similar assets.
2.3.7 Investment property
Investment property is initially measured at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition,
investment property is carried at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment.
Investment property is derecognized either when it has been sold (e.g. on the date when the recipient obtains
control) or when it is permanently retired or no future economic benefits are expected from its sale.
The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit
or loss in the period of derecognition. The consideration to be included in the gain or loss arising on
derecognition of investment property is determined in accordance with the requirements for determining the
transaction price in IFRS 15.
Transfers are made only to (or from) investment property where a change in use occurs. For a transfer from
investment real estate in the owner-occupied property category, the cost considered for subsequent accounting
is the net book value at the date of the change in use. If owner-occupied property becomes investment real
estate, the Company accounts for these properties in accordance with the policy stated in property and
equipment through the date of change in use.
2.3.8 Leases
The company assesses at the inception of the contract whether the contract is a lease or contains a lease,
i.e., whether the contract confers the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period in exchange for
consideration.
Company as tenant
The Company applies a unified recognition and measurement approach for all leases except for short-term
leases and low value asset leases - see below. The Company recognizes the liabilities arising from leases to
make lease payments and the right to use assets, which represents the right to use the underlying assets.

2. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
• Right of use assets
The company recognizes right- of-use at the inception date of the contract (i.e. the date the underlying asset
is available for use).
The right-of-use assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and is
adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.
The right-of-use cost includes the amount of lease liabilities recognized, the initial cost at the date of origination,
and lease payments made on or before the commencement date, less lease incentives received.
Unless the Company is reasonably certain that it will obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the
lease term, recognized right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their
estimated useful life and the lease term. The depreciation period ranges from 1.5 to 4 years.
If the ownership of the leased asset (vehicles and equipment) is transferred to the Company at the end of the
lease or the cost reflects the exercise of the purchase option, then the right to use the asset (for vehicles and
equipment) is depreciated using the depreciation method and estimates used for similar assets held - see
paragraph 2.3.6.
Similar to the owned rental fleet, upon termination of the lease or rental contract and Management's decision
to sell the vehicles, the relevant assets in the right-of-use asset are reclassified to "Inventories" at their carrying
amount, in accordance with IAS 16 paragraph 68A, most often simultaneously with the time the vehicle
becomes the property of the Company.
Assets related to the right of use are subject to impairment, as disclosed in note 2.3.11. Please refer to the
accounting policies in the section Impairment adjustments on non-financial assets.
• Lease liabilities
At the inception of the lease, the Company recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of the
lease payments to be made over the lease term. Lease payments include fixed lease payments (including
fixed payments in the fund), less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an
index or rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees
Lease payments also include the price for exercising a purchase option, if the Company is reasonably certain
to exercise the option, and the payment of lease termination penalties, if the lease term reflects Company's
exercise of a termination option.
Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate are recognized as an expense in the period
in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.
In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses the marginal interest rate at the
inception date of the lease if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the
commencement date, the amount of the liabilities arising under the lease is increased to reflect the increase
in interest and reduced for lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of the lease liabilities is
remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments fixed in
substance or a change in the valuation to acquire the underlying asset.

2. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
• Short-term rentals
The Company applies the exemption from recognition of short-term leases for motor vehicles (i.e., those leases
that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the inception date and do not contain an option to purchase).It
also applies the exemption from recognition of low value assets to leases of office equipment that are low
value. Lease payments for short-term leases and leases for low-value assets are recognized as expenses on
a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Company as lessor
Leases where the Company does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset are
classified as operating leases. Initial direct costs incurred to negotiate and enter an operating lease are added to
the carrying amount of the leased asset and amortized over the lease term on the same basis as rental income.
Contingent rentals are recognized as income in the period in which they are earned.
The carrying amount of property and equipment held under operating leases and the short-term rental fleet is
amortized over the lease term or the useful life of the asset. Depreciation is recognized in the income statement.
Operating lease rates are recognized in the financial statements in full on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The rates are classified and presented in the income category "Operating lease income" of the income statement
and other comprehensive income. The Company leases assets to its customers for terms normally ranging from
three to four years. In all cases, the leased assets are returned to the Company
• Sale of assets followed by leaseback transactions
No gain or loss is recognized on the sale of an asset followed by leaseback, the only accounting transactions
recorded are those related to the financing and the performance of the lease. The lease payments or revised
lease payments are determined in such a way that the seller-lessee recognizes neither loss nor gain on the
retained right of use.
2.3.9 Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets that take a
substantial period to get ready for use or sale are added to the cost of those assets. All other borrowing costs are
recognized in the income statement in the period in which they arise. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other
costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds
2.3.10 Intangible assets
Separately acquired intangible assets are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets
acquired in a business combination represents their fair value at the acquisition date. After initial recognition,
intangible assets are carried at cost, net of accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if
any.
The useful lives of intangible assets are measured as definite or indefinite.
Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their economic useful lives
and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset is impaired. Amortization
periods are reviewed at least at each year-end.
Changes in the expected useful lives or the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits
embodied in assets are accounted for by changing the amortization method or amortization period, as
appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates.
Software, licenses and similar assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over a period of three
years by the Company. Customer relationships are amortized over two and a half years.

2. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
An item of intangible assets and any significant portion initially recognized are derecognized on disposal (e.g.
on the date when the recipient obtains control) or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use
or sale. Any gain or loss on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal
proceeds and the net carrying amount of the asset) is included in profit or loss.
2.3.11 Adjustments for impairment of non-financial assets
At each reporting date, the Company analyzes the net carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment
(leased fleet and equipment and other property, plant and equipment) and intangible assets, right-of-use
assets, investment property to determine whether there is any indication that these assets have suffered
impairment losses. If such indications exist, a formal recoverable amount calculation is performed, which is the
higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell. The carrying amount is written down to recoverable
amount and the difference is recognized as an expense (impairment loss) in the statement of profit or loss and
other comprehensive income.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to present value using a pre-tax
discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and asset-specific risks for
which future cash flows have not been adjusted. In determining fair value less cost to sell, an appropriate
valuation model is used. The Company bases its impairment calculations on detailed budgets and forecasts,
which are prepared separately for each of the Company's cash-generating units to which individual assets are
allocated. These budgets and forecast calculations generally cover a five-year period. A long-term growth rate
is calculated and applied to future project cash flows after the fifth year.
An impairment loss recognized for an asset in prior years is reversed if there has been a change in the
estimates used to determine the recoverable amount of the asset. An impairment loss is reversed only to the
extent that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been
determined, net of depreciation or amortization, had no impairment loss been recognized.
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually and when conditions indicate that the carrying amount may be
impaired. Goodwill impairment is determined by estimating the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit
("CGU") (or group of CGUs) to which the goodwill relates. When the recoverable amount of the CGU is less
than its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. Goodwill impairment losses cannot be reversed in
future periods.
2.3.12 Financial instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that creates a financial asset for one entity and a financial liability or
equity instrument for another entity.
i) Financial assets
Initial recognition and measurement
At the date of initial recognition, the Company classifies its financial assets as subsequently measured at
amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income or fair value through profit or loss.
The classification of financial assets depends both on the Company's business model for managing financial
assets and on the contractual characteristics of the cash flows related to financial assets.
Except for trade receivables that do not have a significant financing component or for which the Company has
applied the practical expedient, the Company initially measured financial assets at fair value plus, in the case
of assets that are not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition
of the financial asset.
AUTONOM AUTONOM SERVICES SA
NOTES TO THE INDIVIDUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2024
All amounts are in RON, unless otherwise specified
17
2. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Company has applied
the practical cost are measured at the transaction price determined in accordance with IFRS 15.
In order to classify and measure a financial asset at amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive
income, it must generate cash flows that are "principal and interest only payments (NPPD)" related to the
principal amount. This assessment is called the NPPD test and is performed at the instrument level.
The Company's financial asset management business model refers to how it manages its financial assets to
generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will result from the collection of
contractual cash flows, the sale of financial assets, or both.
The Company's financial assets consist solely of loans to related parties and trade receivables, cash and cash
equivalents.
Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery within a period prescribed by a regulation or market
convention (standard transactions) are recognized on the transaction date, i.e., the date on which the Company
commits to sell the asset.
Subsequent measurement
For subsequent measurement purposes, financial assets are classified into four categories:
• Financial assets at amortized cost (liability securities);
• Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income with recycling of accumulated gains
and losses (liability securities);
• Financial assets designated at fair value through other comprehensive income, without recycling
cumulative gains and losses on derecognition (equity instruments);
• Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
This category is the most relevant for the Company and represents loans granted to related parties and trade
and lease receivables.
The company measures financial assets at amortized cost if the following conditions are met:
• Financial assets are held within a business model with the objective of holding financial assets to collect
contractual cash flows;
yes
• The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on the specified dates to cash flows that represent
only principal and interest payments of the principal amount outstanding.
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted
in an active market. After initial recognition, these financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost
using the effective interest rate method, less impairment.
The amortized cost is calculated taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and any fees and costs
that are an integral part of the effective interest rate.
Amortization based on the effective interest rate is included in the income statement under "Financial income".
Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized, modified or impaired.

2. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Derecognition
A financial asset (or, if applicable, part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is
derecognized when:
• The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired
Or
• The company has transferred its rights to receive the cash flows arising from the asset or has assumed an
obligation to pay the cash flows received in full, without significant delay, to a third party, on a pass-through
basis and either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the
Company has not transferred and has not retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset but has
transferred control of the asset.
When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a
commitment with identical cash flows, it assesses whether and to what extent it has retained the risks and
rewards of ownership.
If it has not transferred and retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has not transferred
control of the asset, the asset is recognized in proportion to the Company's continuing involvement in the asset.
In this case, the Company also recognizes an associated liability. The transferred asset and associated liability
are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has retained.
The continuing involvement taking the form of a guarantee on the transferred assets is quantified at the lower
of the initial carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Company could
be required to repay.
ii) Impairment of financial assets
Information on impairment of financial assets is presented in the following notes:
• Risk management of financial instruments (Note 19)
• Trade receivables (Note 21)
The Company recognizes a valuation adjustment for expected credit losses on all liability securities that are
not held at fair value through the income statement.
Expected credit losses are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due under the contract
and all cash flows the Company expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the initial effective
interest rate. Expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit
enhancements that are an integral part of the contractual terms.
Expected credit losses are recognized in two stages: If there has not been a significant increase in credit risk
from the time of initial recognition, credit losses are measured at 12 months. The amount calculated at 12
months represents the credit loss resulting from events of default that may occur within the next 12 months. If
there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, an impairment adjustment is required
to be measured over the life of the asset, representing an expected credit loss resulting from events of default
that may occur during the expected life of a financial asset.
For trade receivables the Company applies a simplified approach to the calculation of expected credit losses.
Accordingly, the Company does not track changes in credit risk but recognizes a value adjustment calculated
over the entire life of the expected credit losses at each reporting date. The Company has established a
provision matrix that is based on historical credit loss experience, adjusted for perspective factors specific to
borrowers and the economic environment.
Based on historical data on the collection of past due receivables over time, the Company determined a provisioning
matrix for receivables outstanding at the reporting date, adjusted these provisioning rates for debtor-specific factors
and applied this matrix to discount the provision for the expected loss on receivables.

NOTES TO THE INDIVIDUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2024
All amounts are in RON, unless otherwise specified
19
2. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Provisioning rates are based on the analysis of actual collection of receivables, grouped by relevant criteria over
two recent time intervals, to conclude on the stability and relevance of the loss rates determined, as described
below.
The following steps have been applied to the determination of historical loss ratios on receivables:
- Identification of open, uncollected invoices at the beginning of each collection period
- For the above invoices, the determination of the outstanding amount at the end of each period analyzed
- Expected losses on receivables are determined as the amounts not collected at the end of a collection
interval, applying the assumption that the amounts collected after each interval analyzed can only
marginally improve the loss rate.
- Loss ratios on receivables are calculated for receivables grouped according to age, as the ratio between
the amounts outstanding at the end of the analysis interval and the amounts outstanding at the beginning
of the analysis period, for the same population of invoices.
- The 12-month average estimated loss percentage is used to determine the provisioning matrix at the
reporting date.
The company considers the credit risk of a financial asset to be significantly increased if its maturity is more than 90
days past due.
However, in some cases, the Company may consider a financial asset to be provisional when internal or external
information indicates that the Company is at risk of not receiving the outstanding contractual amounts in full before
considering any credit enhancements held by the Company. A financial asset is derecognized when there is no
reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows.
(iii) Financial liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified on initial recognition as financial liabilities measured at amortized cost.
All financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value and, in the case of financial liabilities measured at amortized
cost, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
The Company's financial liabilities include trade and other payables, as well as loans and credits.
Subsequent measurement
Loans and borrowings
This is the category most relevant to the Company. After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and
borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Gains
and losses are recognized in the income statement when the liabilities are derecognized, as well as through
the EIR amortization process.
Amortized cost is calculated considering any discount or premium on acquisition and any fees and costs that
are an integral part of the effective interest rate. The amortization of RDE is included as financing costs in the
statement of profit or loss.
Trade and other payables
These amounts represent payables for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the
financial year and not yet paid. All amounts are unsecured. Trade and other payables are shown as current
liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period. They are initially recognized
at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
Trade and other payables with a maturity of 12 months or less are not discounted.

2. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation due is debited, cancelled or expires.
When an existing financial liability is exchanged for another financial obligation from the same creditor on
substantially different terms or if the terms of an existing obligation are substantially modified, such exchange
or modification is treated as derecognition of the original liability and recognition of a new liability. The
difference between the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the statement of profit or loss.
2.3.13 Inventories
Inventories, which include motor vehicles for resale, spare parts, consumables and materials in the form of
small inventory items, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Upon termination of lease or rental
contracts, the relevant assets become the property of the Company and are reclassified from "Property, plant
and equipment - fleet" or "Right to use assets" to "Inventories" at carrying amount. The net realizable value is
estimated based on the selling price related to the normal activity less estimated costs to sell.
When inventories are sold, the carrying amount of those inventories is recognized as an expense and reported
as a component of cost of sales in the statement of comprehensive income in the period in which the related
revenue is recognized. The amount of any write-downs of inventories to net realizable value and all inventory
losses are recognized as an expense in the same component of the income statement and other
comprehensive income as consumption of that inventory in the period in which the write-down or loss occurs
in the line item "Other (loss)/gain - net".
2.3.14 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term deposits in the statement of financial position comprise cash at bank
and in hand and short-term deposits.
For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term
deposits with a maturity of less than three months that are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
2.3.15 Prepayments
Prepayments are stated at cost less provision for impairment. A prepayment is classified as non-current when
the goods or services to which it relates are expected to be obtained after more than one year.
Prepayments incurred to acquire current assets are transferred to the carrying amount of the asset once the
Company has obtained control of the asset and it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the
asset will flow to the Company.
Prepaid expenses incurred to acquire tangible fixed assets are classified as other receivables and current assets.
Other prepaid expenses are written off through the profit and loss account when the goods or services to which they
relate are received. If there is any indication that the assets, goods or services that relate to a prepaid expense will
not be received, the carrying amount of the prepaid expense is written down accordingly and a corresponding
impairment loss is recognized in the income statement. At December 31, 2023, impairment tests have been
performed on the Company's property and assets.
2.3.16 Equity
Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. External costs directly attributable to the issuance of new shares are
presented as a deduction of equity from the proceeds. Any excess of the fair value of the price received over
the par value of the shares issued is recognized as share premium.

Dividends
The Company recognizes a liability to make cash or non-cash distributions to equity holders when the
distribution has been authorized and, therefore, is no longer within the Company's discretion.
Under Romanian corporate law, a distribution is authorized when approved by the shareholders. A
corresponding amount is recognized directly in equity.
2.3.17 Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a current obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a
past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle
the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated.
2.3.18 Employee benefits
During the normal course of business, the Company makes payments on behalf of its employees for pensions
(defined contribution plans), medical insurance, payroll taxes which are calculated in accordance with the
statutory rates in force during the year, based on gross salaries. Food allowances, travel expenses and
vacation allowances are also calculated in accordance with local legislation in force.
The cost of these payments is included in the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income
items in the same period as the related salary cost. Projected liabilities are recognized for holiday pay if there
are untaken holidays, according to local legislation.
The Company does not operate another pension or post-employment benefit plan and, accordingly, has no
pension obligations.
2.4. Changes in accounting policies effective January 1, 2024
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year, except for the
following amendments to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), which were adopted by the
Company on January 1, 2024.
• IAS 1 Presentation of financial statements: classification of liabilities as current or non-current
(amendments).
• IFRS 16 Leases: Lease liabilities arising under a sale and leaseback (amendments).
• IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 Presentation of Financial Instruments - Vendor
Financing Arrangements (Amendments).
The newly adopted IFRS and IFRS amendments have not had a material impact on the Company's
accounting policies.

STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET IN FORCE AND NOT YET ADOPTED IN ADVANCE
Standards/Amendments which are not yet in force but have been approved by the European Union:
• IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates: Non-Convertibility (Amendments).
The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2025, with
early application permitted. The amendments specify how an entity should assess whether a currency
is convertible and how it should determine a spot exchange rate when convertibility is lacking. A
currency is considered to be convertible into another currency when an entity can obtain the other
currency within a time frame that permits a standard administrative delay and through a market or
exchange mechanism in which an exchange transaction would create enforceable rights and
obligations. If a currency is not convertible into another currency, an entity is required to estimate the
spot exchange rate at the measurement date. An entity's objective in estimating the spot exchange
rate is to reflect the rate at which an orderly exchange transaction would occur on the measurement
date between market participants under prevailing economic conditions. The amendments state that
an entity may use an observable exchange rate without adjustment or other estimation technique.
Management has assessed that applying the amendments will have no impact on the Company's
financial position or performance.
Standards/Amendments that are not yet in force and have not been approved by the European Union:
• Amendment to IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and IAS 28 Investments in
Associates and Joint Ventures: Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and an
Associate or Joint Venture.
The Amendments address a recognized inconsistency between the requirements of IFRS 10 and IAS
28 regarding the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and an associate or joint venture.
The main consequence of the amendments is that a comprehensive gain or loss is recognized when
a transaction involves a business (whether included in a subsidiary or not). A partial gain or loss is
recognized when a transaction involves assets that do not constitute a business, even if those assets
are included in a subsidiary. In December 2015, the IASB postponed the effective date of this
amendment indefinitely pending the outcome of its equity method research project. The amendments
have not yet been endorsed by the EU. Management has assessed that application of the
amendments will have no impact on the Company's financial position or performance.
• IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures - Classification
and Measurement of Financial Instruments (Amendments).
The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026.
Early adoption of the amendments related to the classification of financial assets and related
presentation requirements is permitted, with the option to adopt the other amendments at a later date.
The amendments clarify that a financial liability is derecognized on the 'settlement date' when the
obligation is settled, canceled, expires or meets other criteria for derecognition. They also introduce
an accounting policy option to derecognize financial liabilities settled by electronic payment systems
before the settlement date, if certain conditions are met. In addition, the amendments clarify how to
assess the contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets with contingent environmental,
social and governance (ESG) and other similar contingent characteristics. Finally, the amendments
clarify the treatment of non-recourse receivables and contractually linked instruments and impose
additional disclosure requirements in accordance with IFRS 7 for financial assets and financial
liabilities with references to contingent events (including those related to ESG), as well as for equity
instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. The amendments have not
yet been endorsed by the EU. Management has assessed that the application of the amendments will
have no impact on the Company's financial position or performance.

2. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
• IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures - Contracts for
Factor-Dependent Electricity (Amendments).
The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026, with
early adoption permitted. They clarify how to apply the own-use requirements, allow hedge accounting
to be applied to contracts included within their scope, and introduce new disclosure requirements so
that investors can understand the impact of these contracts on a company's financial performance and
cash flows. The clarifications to the own-use requirements should be applied retrospectively, but the
guidance permitting hedge accounting should be applied prospectively to new designated hedging
relationships after the date of initial application. The amendments have not yet been approved by the
EU. Management has assessed that application of the amendments will have no impact on the
Company's financial position or performance.
• IFRS 18 Financial Statement Disclosures.
IFRS 18 introduces new disclosure requirements in the income statement. It requires an entity to
classify all income and expenses in the income statement into one of five categories: operating,
investing, financing, income tax and discontinued operations. These categories are supplemented by
requirements to present subtotals and totals for 'profit or loss from operating activities', 'profit or loss
before financing and income tax' and 'profit or loss'. The standard also requires the presentation of
management-defined performance indicators and includes new requirements for the aggregation and
disaggregation of financial information based on the identified "roles" of the primary financial
statements and notes. In addition, there are consequential amendments to other accounting
standards. IFRS 18 is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with earlier
application permitted, Retrospective application is required in both annual and interim financial
statements. The standard has not been endorsed by the EU. In subsequent reporting periods,
management will review the requirements of this newly issued standard and assess its impact.
• IFRS 19 Non-publicly Accountable Subsidiaries: Disclosures
IFRS 19 permits non-publicly accountable subsidiaries to apply reduced disclosure requirements,
provided that the parent (either ultimate or intermediate) prepares publicly available consolidated
financial statements in accordance with IFRSs. Such subsidiaries shall comply with the recognition,
measurement and presentation requirements in other IFRSs. Unless otherwise specified, qualifying
entities that choose to apply IFRS 19 shall not be required to apply the disclosure requirements in
other IFRSs.
IFRS 19 is effective from January 1, 2027, with early application permitted. The standard has not been
endorsed by the EU. Management has assessed that the application of this standard will have no
impact on the Company's financial position or performance.
• Annual Improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards - Volume 11.
The IASB's annual improvements process is intended to address necessary, but not urgent,
clarifications and amendments to IFRS standards. In July 2024, the IASB issued Annual Improvements
to IFRS Accounting Standards - Volume 11, which are effective for annual reporting periods beginning
on or after January 1, 2026. This volume includes amendments to IFRS 1, IFRS 7, IFRS 9, IFRS 10
and IAS 7, aimed at clarifying wording, correcting minor unintended consequences and removing
conflicts between requirements in the standards. The standard has not been endorsed by the EU. In
subsequent reporting periods, management will review the requirements of this newly issued standard
and assess its impact.

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
The preparation of the Company's individual financial statements requires management to make judgments,
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and
the accompanying disclosures of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and contingent liabilities. However,
the uncertainty surrounding these estimates and assumptions could result in a material future adjustment to
the carrying amount of assets or liabilities.
Due to the uncertainty inherent in all measurement processes, these estimates are continually revised.
Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future
periods affected.
RATIONALLY
In applying the Company's policies, management has utilized the following judgments, which have the most
significant effect on the amounts reported in the financial statements:
Classification of leases - Company as lessor
The Company has entered into lease agreements for its portfolio of vehicles. The Company has determined,
based on an evaluation of the terms and conditions of the agreements, such as lease terms that do not
constitute a significant portion of the economic life of the vehicles and the present value of the minimum lease
payments, which do not amount to the full fair value of the vehicle, that it retains all risks and rewards of
ownership of the vehicles and accounts for the contracts as operating leases.
The same reasoning applies to the portfolio of equipment contracts.
ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
Key assumptions about the future and other significant causes of uncertainty in the estimates at the reporting
date that present a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities within the next financial year are set out below. The Company has based its assumptions and
estimates on economic and market conditions at the date of the financial statements. However, existing
circumstances and assumptions regarding future developments may change as a result of market changes or
circumstances beyond the Company's control. These changes are reflected in the assumptions when they
occur.
Review of useful lives and residual value of assets in the car rental fleet
The basis for calculating the depreciation of an item of the Company's fleet of motor vehicles leased under an
operating lease is the acquisition cost less the estimated residual value, in combination with the estimated
useful life of the asset.
Management is required to assess the residual value and useful life of an asset at least at the end of each
financial year and assess whether specific impairment adjustments are necessary. Depending on the
outcome of these analyses, the changes are accounted for as a change in accounting estimates reflected by
prospective depreciation or as a specific impairment adjustment.
The determination of any impairment adjustment in respect of assets subject to operating leases (fleet of cars)
depends mainly on how the recoverable amount is affected by the residual value obtainable at the end of the
lease contract. These estimates could have a significant impact on the carrying amount of the value of assets
leased to customers (fleet of cars) and on the depreciation recognized in the income statement.
The Company closely monitors changes in the residual values used in operating leases, both for the Company-
owned fleet and for the fleet resulting from leases classified as right-of-use assets (those with transfer of
ownership or purchase option).

25
3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS (continued)
The residual values are estimated based on the sales value at the end of the contracts and are largely influenced
by the number of kilometers traveled by the vehicle, the manufacturer, the condition of the vehicle, as well as the
state of the used vehicle markets at the date the vehicles are sold, etc. The Company has reviewed the residual
values of its fleet used for leasing as of December 31, 2024, taking into account both internal and external
factors.
Similar estimates are made for vehicles acquired under leases (the Company as lessee) for which the
Company has the right to take title to the assets at the end of the lease term and intends to exercise such
right.
These right-of-use assets are amortized on a policy similar to that described above, with similar estimates of
residual value and estimated useful lives of the assets.
At December 31, 2024, the residual value is between 24% and 51% (December 31, 2023: 25% and 54%).
Adjustments for depreciation of vehicles in the rental fleet
In its annual assessment of indications of potential asset impairment, the Company considers both external and
internal sources of information. If there are indications for impairment, an analysis is performed to assess whether
the carrying amount of the asset (fleet of vehicles owned or presented as right-of-use) exceeds the recoverable
amount, the latter being the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use.
Fair value less costs to sell is calculated based on available market data from firm sales transactions, at market
value, for similar assets or observable market values less unavoidable costs of disposal activities.
Value in use is determined as the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the cash-
generating object or cash-generating unit.
During 2023, the Company recorded a net impairment adjustment amounting to RON 11,028 thousand which
covers both its own fleet of cars and equipment for rental and vehicles acquired under lease contracts (right-of-use
assets).
During 2024, the Company recorded a net impairment adjustment amounting to RON 4,324 thousand covering the
rental equipment fleet.
For more details see Note 14.
Inventories - cars - net realizable value
Inventories are valued based on their net realizable value. These values are determined on the basis of data
available from arm's length, binding sales transactions for similar assets or observable market prices, less
incremental costs to dispose of the asset. After reclassification from property, plant and equipment or right of
use assets, impairment adjustments are recorded within 'Other gains/losses - net'.
Impairment losses on trade receivables
The measurement of the expected credit loss ratio for financial assets is an area that requires the use of complex
models and estimates of future economic conditions and trade credit behavior (e.g., the likelihood of giving rise to
customer default rates and resulting losses). Management judgment is required to apply appropriate estimates and
to establish rationale for the measurement of expected credit losses.

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS (continued)
Methodology and assumptions, including forecasts of future economic conditions, are periodically reviewed by
management. Details of the assumptions and estimation techniques used in measuring expected credit losses on
receivables are detailed in the "Credit Risk" section of Note 19. Impairment models are subject to annual review to
ensure that they remain current and fit for purpose and that utilization and performance continue to meet the
Company's standards.
4. INCOME
The breakdown of the Company's income by type of goods and services is included directly in the statement
of profit and loss and comprehensive income, where income from operating leases, income from services in
addition to operating leases (see also details in Note 4.1), income from the rental of motor vehicles, income
from the sale of goods and other operating income are presented separately (see also details in Note 5).
The company has a large portfolio of clients (there is no single client that has a share of 10 % or more of
revenues).
During 2024, revenues amounting to 16,169,155 RON were recorded from amounts previously recorded as
deferred revenue (2023: 14,925,526 RON).

14. PPROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (continued)
As of December 31, 2024, of the total rental fleet and rental equipment, RON 176,110 thousand represents
rental equipment, and RON 791,511 thousand represents cars from the rental fleet .
As of December 31, 2023, of the total rental fleet and rental equipment, RON 138,755 thousand represents
rental equipment and RON 596,219 thousand represents vehicles in the rental fleet.
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment
During 2023, following management's analysis, net impairment adjustments of RON 11,028 thousand were
recorded related to own rental equipment, vehicle and right-of-use assets as a result of the change in the
average trading prices of second-hand cars and equipment as well as the general market evolution. The
computer chip crisis has led to a fall in the production of new cars and hence in dealers' inventories and to
very long delivery times, for some manufacturers even more than 12 months. As a result, buyers have
turned to the second-hand market, with rising demand leading to a rise in prices, albeit less accelerated in
2023 than in 2022.
During 2024, following management's analysis, net impairment adjustments of RON 4,324 thousand were
recorded related to the rental equipment and assets related to the right of use as a result of the change in
the average trading prices of equipment and as a result of the general market evolution.
The summary of depreciation, amortization and impairment of non- current assets for years 2024 and 2023

15.RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS (continued)
In December 2023 the new headquarters of Autonom in Piatra Neamt was completed. After the construction
was completed, the Management's decision was to sell the newly constructed building to the affiliated party
Stefan si Compania SRL, together with the related land for the amount of 31,194,801 RON. This decision
was based on the fact that the Group's real estate properties are already majority owned by Stefan si
Compania.The transaction was concluded after the property was appraised by an independent, ANEVAR
authorized appraiser, objectively reflecting the market value.
Between the two companies a long term lease contract was then signed, after the evaluation of the rental
rate by the independent appraiser, Autonom thus maintaining its full right of use of the building and the
related land. The ownership right related to this building is shown on the line entries in the above table. As
a result of this transaction, Autonom Services as a seller-lessee, in accordance with the amendments to
IFRS16 mentioned in Note 2, has recognized neither a gain nor a loss for the retained right of use.

18. INTEREST BEARINGS LOANS AND BORROWINGS (continued)
Unsecured corporate bonds
On December 4, 2019, the Company issued unsecured bonds of EUR 20 million. The bonds were issued
in Euro for five years, have a fixed interest rate of 4.45% and were paid at maturity on November 8, 2024.
The first interest coupon was paid on November 5, 2020.
In November 2021, the Company issued corporate bonds in the amount of EUR 48 million which were
admitted to trading on the Main Market of the Bucharest Stock Exchange, segment Bonds, and which are
traded under the symbol AUT26E. The bonds have a nominal value of EUR 10,000, a maturity of five years
and a fixed interest rate of 4.11%, p.a. payable annually.
This bond round includes a step-up adjustment mechanism. This adjustment mechanism is linked to a
certain level of CO2 emissions per vehicle (115.13 gCO2/km per vehicle) that must be achieved by
December 31, 2025 in order to maintain the 4.11% interest rate inclusive and for the final year. If the CO2
emissions level is above 115.13 gCO2/km on December 31, 2025, the Company will pay an interest rate of
4.41% for the last year (base level of 4.11% plus 0.30%). Within 4 months after the Performance
Observation deadline, the Company will have to prepare the emissions level report, which will be audited
by Sustainalytics.
On November 26, 2024, the Company issued corporate bonds in the amount of EUR 30 million which were
admitted to trading on the Main Market of the Bucharest Stock Exchange at the beginning of 2025, segment
Bonds, and which trade under the symbol AUT29E. The bonds have a nominal value of EUR 1,000, a
maturity of five years and a fixed interest rate of 6.14%, p.a. payable annually.
This round of bonds includes a step-up adjustment mechanism. This adjustment mechanism is linked to a
certain level of CO2 emissions per vehicle (96 gCO2/km per vehicle) to be achieved by December 31, 2028
in order to maintain the 6.14% interest rate inclusive and for the final year. In case the CO2 emission level
is above 96gCO2/km on December 31, 2028, the Company will pay an interest rate of 6.41% for the last
year (base level of 6.14% plus 0.30%). Within 120 days after the Performance Observation deadline, the
Company will have to prepare the emission level report, which will be audited by Sustainalytics.
Financial covenants on fixed rate unsecured bonds are calculated using financial information from the
Company's individual financial statements and include Interest Coverage Ratio, with a minimum of 4% and
Net Financial Liability/EBITDA which must be equal to or less than 4 for AUT26E bonds and AUT29E bonds.
Sustainability performance objective: to reduce the average CO2 emissions of the operational fleet by 25%
by 2025, medium-term objective, to reduce the average CO2 emissions of the passenger fleet by 30% by
2028 and 55% by 2030. The second sustainability objective is to increase the representation of women in
management positions, with the goal of at least 46% of leadership roles being held by women by 2030.
Financial covenants related to the bonds are measured annually and have been met as of December 31,
2023 and December 31, 2024.
Interest rate:
Interest rates for loans in local currency are ROBOR 1M and ROBOR 3M plus fixed margin negotiated with
banks. For loans denominated in foreign currency, EURIBOR 3M and EURIBOR 6M plus the fixed margin
negotiated with banks are used.
Covenants for interest-bearing loans and borrowings (other than bonds):
For the majority of the Company's credit agreements with banks, additional deeds were signed, so that all
the provisions related to the financial indicators are aligned with the provisions of the prospectus of the
bond issue, i.e. the indicators from the financial statements will be taken into account, namely the Interest
Coverage Ratio which must be at least 4 and Net Financial Debt/EBITDA, which must be maximum or
equal to 4.
Defaulting on the agreements would allow banks to demand immediate repayment of the loans.

At December 31, 2024 and at December 31, 2023, the indicators relating to the covenants in the loan agreements
signed with the banks for most of which the assessment is made annually at December 31 have been met.
Pledges:
With the exception of bonds, which are unsecured, all bank loans are secured by pledges on: property,
plant and equipment (Note 14), investment property (Note 16), cash and cash equivalents (Note 22) and
receivables (Note 21).
As at December 31, 2024, the Company had available undrawn credit facilities amounting to RON
5,877,713 and Euro 30,998,883 (December 31, 2023: RON 19,239,869 and Euro 42,877,795) and
therefore is able to meet any unforeseen cash needs.
19. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS RISK MANAGEMENT
The principal financial liabilities of the Company comprise loans and borrowings, including leasing and trade
and other payables. The principal purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company's
operations. The Company's financial assets consist of loans, trade and other receivables, cash and short-
term deposits arising directly from its operations, and long-term deposits to secure rent liabilities.
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The
Company's management oversees the management of these risks. The Company's management shall
ensure that the activities by which the Company assumes financial risks are governed by appropriate
procedures and that financial risks are identified, quantified and managed in accordance with the
Company's risk appetite
Interest rate risk
The Company's operating income and cash flows from operations are significantly independent of changes
in market interest rates. Trade and other receivables and payables are non-interest bearing financial assets
and liabilities. Borrowings are usually exposed to interest rate risk through fluctuations in the market value
of long and short-term interest-bearing credit facilities. With the exception of the bonds issued by the
Company, interest rates on the Company's loans and borrowings are variable. Interest rates for the
Company's credit facilities are disclosed in Note 18. Changes in interest rates primarily affect loans and
borrowings primarily through changes in related cash flows (variable rate liability). Management's policy is
to use mainly variable rate financing. However, when obtaining new loans or borrowings, management
makes an assessment as to whether a fixed or floating rate would be more favorable to the Company over
the expected period to maturity.
Interest rate sensitivity
The table below demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonable possible change in the interest rate. With all
other variables held constant, the Company's profit before tax and shareholders' equity are impacted by
the impact on floating rate borrowings as follows:

The company does not insure its interest rate risk.
The percentage point changes in interest rate assumed for the sensitivity rate analysis are based on the
current observable market environment. An equal decrease in the interest rate would have the same effect
but the opposite sign.
Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate
because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in foreign
exchange rates mainly relates to the Company's financing activities, as the financing obtained by the
Company is denominated in EUR. The vast majority of the Company's revenues, expenses, trade and other
receivables and payables are denominated in RON. The Company monitors foreign exchange risk by
monitoring changes in the exchange rates of the currencies in which the Company's balances and payables
to third parties are denominated. The Company has no formal arrangements to mitigate the foreign currency
risk it faces.
The company holds the following foreign currency assets and liabilities.

Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a business partner may fail to fulfill its contractual obligations or experience
financial difficulties, resulting in a financial loss for the Company. The Company is exposed to credit risk
from operating activities (mainly trade receivables) and financing activities, including deposits with banks
and financial institutions. The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to trade and other receivables
and balances due from banks. The carrying amount of trade and other receivables, net of allowance for
impairment (Note 21) plus loans granted to affiliated companies (Note 26) and balances with banks (Note
22) represent the maximum amount exposed to credit risk. Management believes that there is no significant
risk of loss to the Company except for the adjustments already recorded.
The Company invests cash and cash equivalents with reputable financial institutions. The Company had
only regular deposits with reputable banks, which have not experienced any difficulties in 2024 or up to the
date of approval of these individual financial statements. Among the banks with the largest assets on the
local market, the Company had open term or overnight deposits with BCR, OTP, Unicredit or Raiffeisen.
Loans granted to affiliated companies do not have significant exposure to credit risk as they include a loan
granted to the Company's shareholder, which is not in financial difficulty.
There is no significant concentration of credit risk with respect to trade and other receivables as the
Company has a large customer portfolio.

19. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
In order to identify credit risk exposure, the Company makes assessments of the financial positions of
counterparties. The Company has internal policies and procedures regarding the review and approval of
operating leases, differentiated by level of exposure.
The company has internal rules and procedures for monitoring the concentration of exposures by sector of
activity, by type of client, by type of asset financed, by geographical area, by risk category
Trade receivables
Customer credit risk is managed by each business unit in accordance with the Company's policies,
procedures and controls over credit risk management. The creditworthiness of a customer is based on the
collection history of that customer. Past due receivables and contract assets are constantly monitored and
collection or recovery plans are discussed with customers as soon as significant payments become past
due.
Receivables in relation to certain customers, for which, as a result of grouping according to specific risk
factors (such as the total number of days overdue and the number of overdue payments repeatedly
overdue) as well as the legal and juridical aspects identified, were analyzed individually. Based on historical
data on the collection pattern of overdue receivables over time, the Company determined a provisioning
matrix of the remaining receivables outstanding at the reporting date, segmented the population of
outstanding receivables based on similar characteristics related to the line of business and applied this
matrix to update the provision for the expected loss on receivables.
The provisioning rates are based on the analysis of the actual collection of the receivables to which these
general analysis criteria are applied, grouped by relevant criteria related to days overdue and type of
services invoiced.
Based on the internal history of how receivables in arrears are collected in an observation window, Autonom
has updated a matrix of provisioning rates for receivables outstanding at the reporting date. The observation
window applied was 12 months and 2 points in time were used to verify the stability of the historical rates,
including a point in time containing more recent data ...
Autonom has applied this matrix to update the provision for the expected loss on overdue receivables, while
for customers classified as litigious, the receivables outstanding at the reporting date have been fully
provisioned.
Provisioning rates are based on the analysis of the actual collection of receivables grouped according to
relevant criteria: number of days overdue and nature of the debt (related to RCA or commercial insurance)
The detailed analysis is described below.
The following steps have been applied to the determination of historical loss ratios on receivables:
• Identification of open invoices at the beginning of each 12-month observation window,
• Determination of the remainder to be collected at the end of each 12-month observation window,
in relation to the population of invoices determined in the previous step,
• The bad debt loss rates are calculated for each interval of days overdue, as the ratio between the
amounts outstanding at the end of the observation window and the amounts outstanding at the
beginning of the observation window, for the same population of invoices,
• The average percentage loss for two points in time is used to update the provisioning matrix,
• The provisioning matrix thus updated is applied to the receivables outstanding at the reporting date,
taking into account the same criteria for grouping the receivables used to determine the matrix.

19. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
The Company's customer database is homogeneous in terms of credit risk characteristics, therefore the
following criteria have been used for the segmentation of trade receivables:
• The grouping category (i.e. trade receivables and contract assets were analyzed in separate
segments for each entity based on a similar credit loss estimation methodology); and
• relevant seniority intervals.
• The calculation reflects the probability-weighted outcome, the time value in money and reasonable
and acceptable information that is available at the reporting date about past events, current
conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. The Company holds no material
guarantees from customers. Furthermore, there are no credit enhancements obtained by the
Company that would materially alter the credit risk or affect the allowance reserved for credit risk.
In general, trade receivables are written off if they are overdue for more than one year and are not subject
to enforcement activity.
Set out below is information about the credit risk exposure of the Company's trade receivables and contract
assets (excluding unbilled receivables) using a provision matrix:

Capital reserves and profit distribution
For the year ending December 31, 2024, the Board of Directors has proposed the following distribution of
the Company's net profit for approval by the General Meeting of Shareholders:
- The creation of tax reserves in accordance with the legal regulations on income tax exemption for
investments in the amount of RON 21,432,872 as at December 31, 2024 (December 31, 2023:
RON 7,904,613). These reserves cannot be distributed.
- The remaining profit will be allocated to retained earnings.
Other capital reserves
Increases in "Other capital reserves" relate to the constitution of the legal reserve and the constitution of
the reserve for tax facilities on reinvested profits. The reserve for reinvested profit tax facility is not
distributable. The Company does not intend to distribute the reserves in the balance as of December 31,
2024. The legal reserve is constituted in accordance with the provisions of the Romanian Law on
Commercial Companies, which stipulates that 5% of the annual accounting profit be transferred to the legal
reserve, until the balance of this reserve reaches 20% of the share capital of an entity.

Terms and conditions of the above financial liabilities:

• The terms and conditions relating to related party transactions are described in Note 26.
25. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Taxation
All amounts due from the state authorities for taxes have been paid or accrued at the balance sheet date. The
Romanian tax system is going through a consolidation process and is being harmonized with European
legislation. At the level of the tax authorities there may be different interpretations of the tax legislation which
may result in additional taxes and penalties to be paid. Should the state authorities discover violations of the tax
laws and related regulations, this may lead to: confiscation of the amounts, additional tax liabilities may also be
imposed; fines and penalties (which are applied on the total outstanding amount). As a result, the tax penalties
resulting from violation of the legal provisions may result in a significant amount payable to the State. The
Company believes that it has timely and fully paid all applicable taxes, penalties and interest to the extent
applicable.
The Romanian tax authorities have carried out checks on the calculation of corporate income tax for Autonom
Services SA until March 31, 2011. In Romania, the tax year remains open for audits for a period of 5 years.
Transfer prices
Romanian tax legislation includes the "market value" principle, according to which transactions between related
parties must take place at market value. According to this concept, transfer prices should be adjusted to reflect
the market prices that would have been established between unrelated companies. It is likely that transfer pricing
audits will be carried out in the future to assess whether the transfer pricing policy complies with the principle of
objective market value and therefore there are no distortions that could affect the taxable base of the Romanian
taxpayer.
Commitments to purchase goods
At December 31, 2024, the Company has commitments for the purchase of vehicles and equipment amounting
to EUR 22.9 million for vehicles and EUR 5.7 million for equipment (at December 31, 2023: commitments
amounting to EUR 30.3 million for vehicles and EUR 2.9 million for equipment).

29. AUDITOR'S FEES
The Company's auditor is Ernst & Young Assurance Services SRL.
The fee for the audit of the individual annual financial statements as at December 31, 2024 of Autonom
Services SA prepared in accordance with OMF 2844/2016 was EUR 130,000 (excluding VAT).
Non-audit services have also been performed in the amount of EUR 60,000 (excluding VAT).
30. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In 2024, Autonom Services continued its development strategy by signing new loan agreements and
advanced discussions with lenders, thus strengthening its position on the market and preparing for future
initiatives.
By extending the existing loan contracts, Autonom has obtained the necessary financial resources to
support its investment and development plans. These investments can be directed to various areas,
including the expansion of the fleet of vehicles, modernization of infrastructure and equipment or
diversification of the services offered to customers.
Also, being in advanced discussions with two other lenders for additional facilities totaling EUR 11.2 million,
Autonom is demonstrating its commitment to long-term growth and expansion. These discussions may be
related to broad projects such as expanding operations into new markets, diversifying the product portfolio
or investing in new and innovative technologies.
In March 2025, Company’s shareholders approved the share capital increase by RON 80 million, through
the capitalization of retained earnings, thus strengthening the capital base without resorting to external
sources of financing. This decision underlines the Company's management's confidence in the
sustainability of the business model in the long term and in the Company's ability to generate consistent
profits in the future. At the same time, the measure supports a more solid financial structure, to the benefit
of shareholders as well as investors and long-term expansion plans.
Overall, these funding initiatives reflect investors' confidence in Autonom Services' growth prospects and
its ability to generate long-term value.
31. OTHER ASPECTS
In June 2024, Fitch Ratings made the decision to maintain its 'B+' Long-Term Issuer Default Rating (IDR)
for Autonom Services. More importantly, Fitch revised the Company's outlook from stable to positive, in the
context of Autonom's good profitability in 2023, underpinned by a business model with limited reliance on
short-term rentals, good asset quality and an experienced management team. In addition, the moderate
exposure to travel and air traffic based businesses has helped to reduce vulnerability to future lockdowns
and declines in international travel.

31. OTHER ASPECTS (continued)
Revenue growth was reflected in all of our core business lines, reinforcing the robust foundation of our
business. At the same time, we marked a 16% increase in EBITDA, a clear sign that our ability to generate
profit before all expenses remains strong and ensures the viability of our investment strategies.
The Operational Leasing division continued its positive evolution, with a 21% growth in 2024, compared to
2023, recording revenues of RON 458.6 million. Traditionally, our main customers for operational leasing
are small and medium-sized companies, but we are also seeing increasing demand from large customers
due to the growing awareness and confidence of customers in our mobility solutions. At the same time, we
have enjoyed the renewal of collaborations with important customers in areas such as distribution, industry,
financial services, partnerships that prove the attractiveness of the full service offered by Autonom.
In 2024, revenues from vehicle rental amounted to RON 116.3 million, marking a slight decrease of 3.6%
compared to the previous year (RON 120.7 million in 2023). The average fleet rental ratio remained at a
high level of 86%, reflecting remarkable stability similar to the previous year's performance.
The 2024 strategy has focused on profitability, stability and customer quality, taking a prudent approach to
managing the associated replacement service in order to ensure the sustainability of financial ratios even
in the event of external challenges.
The Company continued to prioritize customer satisfaction monitoring by implementing an advanced
methodology for collecting and processing feedback. Over 95% of customers were very satisfied or satisfied
in 2023. The majority of contracts with corporate customers are for a 12-month term with annual renewals,
and operating leases average 51 months.
A strategic focus has been placed on the development of replacement services, a segment with great
potential due to changes in the MTPL legislation. Corporate services continue to dominate short-term
business, accounting for around 85% of the total. The significant contribution of this segment mitigates the
effects of seasonality and supports efficient fleet utilization.
It is management's position that the measures currently adopted will ensure going concern and therefore
the going concern principle remains applicable for these financial statements (see note 2.1 "Going
concern").
The ongoing military conflict
In the context of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, which started on February 24, 2022, various
sanctions have been imposed against Russia, including financing restrictions on certain Russian banks and
state-owned companies, as well as personal sanctions. against a number of individuals. Given geopolitical
tensions, since February 2022 there has been an increase in financial market volatility and exchange rate
depreciation pressure.
These events are expected to continue to affect activities in various sectors of the economy, resulting in
further increases in energy prices and an increased risk of supply chain disruptions. The Company has no
direct exposures to related parties and/or key customers or suppliers in those countries.
From an operational point of view, energy and fuel purchases for the Company's fleet are mainly made on
the domestic market; the availability, sourcing and delivery of resources could be influenced by the
dynamics of the conflict in the region.
The consequences of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, the European energy crisis and resulting regulatory
measures and other economic disruptions currently being observed, as well as other regulatory
interventions, and the magnitude and duration of their economic impact cannot be reliably estimated at this
stage. The Company is responding to the situation with specific measures to safeguard its economic
stability. As events are ongoing, the long-term impact may affect cash flows and profitability. However, as
of the date of these financial statements, the geopolitical context caused by the ongoing conflict in Ukraine
does not have a material adverse impact on the financial statements as of December 31, 2024.

31. OTHER ASPECTS (continued)
Macroeconomic context
Global and regional economic conditions, i.e. the economic context at national, regional and international
level that could negatively influence the Company's activity refer to factors such as: inflation, recession,
changes in fiscal and monetary policy, tighter borrowing, higher interest rates, new or increasing tariffs,
currency fluctuations, increase in the price of raw materials (electricity, natural gas), etc.
Even for an entity as solid as Autonom, with increased bargaining power, the extended economic conditions
have had a notable impact. We ended the year with a net profit of RON 59 million, compared to RON 30
million recorded the previous year, this increase mainly attributable to increased operational efficiency, the
renewal of operating leases at discounted costs and the optimization of the rent-a-car division preparing us
to make 2025 another very good year. Total expenses in 2024 amounted to RON 714.6 million, up by 13%,
with the most notable increases recorded for employee benefits expenses (+19%), influenced by salary
adjustments and team growth, and fleet expenses (+30% compared to 2022), driven by higher costs for
cars, car parts and labor.
We devote special attention to the company's cash resources and liquidity, maintaining a solid capital
reserve and consistently reinvesting all profits back into the business. With a prudent and strategic
approach, we are prepared to navigate the large financial turmoil that may arise in the future.
The year 2024 was marked by spillover effects from the continuing war in Ukraine and persistent inflationary
pressures that reached a significant level both globally and locally, in the context of a global economic
slowdown.
At the local level, the latest figures on Romania's GDP dynamics showed an economic growth of 0.9% in
2024, below the expectations of the European Commission and the International Monetary Fund. GDP
grew by 0.7% in the fourth quarter of 2024 compared with the same period in 2023.
From the unemployment rate perspective, Romania ended 2024 with an unemployment rate of 5.3%, with
the number of unemployed reaching 435,600, down from 444,000 in the same period of the previous year.
The annual inflation rate in December 2024 compared to December 2023 was 5.1%. The average rate of
change in consumer prices over the past 12 months (January 2024 to December 2024) compared with the
previous 12 months (January 2023 to December 2023) was 5.6%.
The Consumer Price Index in January 2025 compared to December 2024 was 101.10%. The annual
inflation rate in January 2025 compared to January 2024 was 5.4%. The average rate of change in
consumer prices over the last 12 months (February 2024 to January 2025) compared with the previous 12
months (February 2023 to January 2024) was 5.8%, according to the NSO.
The National Bank of Romania announced at the beginning of the year that the annual inflation rate will
remain on a downward trajectory, but at a slower pace compared to 2023. The initial increase in inflation
was driven by the increase and introduction of indirect taxes and duties in order to further fiscal
consolidation, while the subsequent decline in the inflation rate was influenced by supply-side factors, such
as disinflationary base effects and downward corrections in agri-food commodity prices and oil prices, as
well as the downward dynamics of import prices.
The Company's income or may be affected by particular movements in global financial markets. The
Company's income or the value of its assets may be affected by specific movements in global financial
markets.
The Company regularly reviews its exposure to interest rates and currency fluctuations. As at the date of
these financial statements, the Company believes that the impact of these changes would not affect its
ability to continue as a going concern, with appropriate measures taken to mitigate potential risks with a
material impact on the Company's income or assets.

31. OTHER ASPECTS (continued)
Climate aspects
Autonom applies a structured approach to identifying, assessing, and managing material impacts, risks, and
opportunities (IROs) using quantitative and qualitative input parameters to ensure a comprehensive evaluation
of sustainability-related factors.
To ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, Autonom aligns its assessment process with EU
Taxonomy, CSRD Directive, ESRS Standards, and Fit for 55 regulations, which serve as the foundation for
identifying legal and sustainability obligations in the European Union. These frameworks guide the evaluation of
transition risks, compliance costs, and regulatory impacts on fleet operations, ensuring that sustainability-related
risks are accounted for in strategic decision-making. Additionally, evolving climate policies and industry-specific
legislation are continuously monitored to assess potential financial and operational implications.
Stakeholder engagement is a key driver in the identification and assessment of material impacts. Through
consultations with investors, customers, employees, suppliers, and other relevant stakeholders, Autonom
gathers insights into the most pressing ESG-related concerns and expectations. The Double Materiality
Assessment (DMA) plays a pivotal role in this process, integrating input from questionnaires, interviews, and
workshops to validate material topics and their associated risks. This stakeholder-driven approach ensures that
social, environmental, and governance priorities are aligned with business strategy while also addressing
reputational risks and emerging opportunities.
Financial and economic data also play a critical role in evaluating material impacts and risks. Cost-benefit
analyses and financial statements provide insights into the potential economic implications of sustainability risks,
allowing for a structured assessment of capital expenditures, revenue impact, and operational cost changes.
Additionally, fleet transition costs, energy price volatility, and asset depreciation trends help determine the
financial materiality of sustainability-related decisions and seize opportunities.
Environmental and climate data are essential in assessing both physical and transition risks. GHG emission
calculations (Scope 1, 2, and 3) allow for the quantification of climate impact, ensuring that Autonom’s fleet
electrification strategy is aligned with carbon intensity reduction targets. Furthermore, climate risk scenario
modeling supports long-term planning for sustainability investments and risk mitigation strategies.
To benchmark performance and identify best practices, Autonom incorporates industry benchmarks and peer
comparisons.
The sustainability report for the current year can be consulted on the Company's website, in the Sustainability
section and provides additional information regarding Company’s strategy on climate aspects.
In preparing the financial statements, Management has considered the impact of climate change.
These considerations did not have a material impact on the financial reporting rationale and estimates, but the
Company's business plan and estimated cash flow projections for the coming years take into account the
anticipated costs and capital investments required to increase the share of green vehicles in the operating fleet.
These individual financial statements on pages 3 through 58 have been approved by the Board of Directors
and were authorized for issue on 04/25/2025.
