Grundlag for konklusion (revision):Basis for opinionWe conducted our audit in accordance with Interna-tional Standards on Auditing (ISAs) and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark. Our responsibili-ties under those standards and requirements are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. IndependenceWe are independent of the Group in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ International Code of Ethics for Professional Account-ants (IESBA Code) and the additional ethical require-ments applicable in Denmark. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code. To the best of our knowledge and belief, prohibited non-audit services referred to in Article 5(1) of Regula-tion (EU) No 537/2014 were not provided. AppointmentWe were first appointed auditors of Brødrene A & O Johansen A/S on 19 March 2021 for the financial year 2021. We have been reappointed annually by share-holder resolution for a total period of uninterrupted engagement of 3 years including the financial year 2023.
Konklusion (revision):Our opinionIn our opinion, the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Parent Company Financial Statements give a true and fair view of the Group’s and the Parent Compa-ny’s financial position at 31 December 2023 and of the results of the Group’s and the Parent Company’s opera-tions and cash flows for the financial year 1 January to 31 December 2023 in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU and further require-ments in the Danish Financial Statements Act. Our opinion is consistent with our Auditor’s Long-form Report to the Audit Committee and the Board of Direc-tors. What we have auditedThe Consolidated Financial Statements and Parent Company Financial Statements of Brødrene A & O Johansen A/S for the financial year 1 January to 31 December 2023 comprise income statement and statement of comprehensive income, balance sheet, statement of changes in equity, cash flow statement and notes, including material accounting policy infor-mation for the Group as well as for the Parent Company.

Udtalelse om ledelsesberetningen (revision):Statement on Management’s ReviewManagement is responsible for Management’s Review. Our opinion on the Financial Statements døs not cover Management’s Review, and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the Financial State-ments, our responsibility is to read Management’s Review and, in doing so, consider whether Manage-ment’s Review is materially inconsistent with the Finan-cial Statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. Moreover, we considered whether Management’s Review includes the disclosures required by the Danish Financial Statements Act and article 8 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852 (EU Taxonomy Regulation). Based on the work we have performed, in our view, Management’s Review is in accordance with the Consol-idated Financial Statements and the Parent Company Financial Statements and has been prepared in accord-ance with the requirements of the Danish Financial Statements Act and the disclosure requirements of article 8 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852 (EU Taxonomy Regulation). We did not identify any material misstate-ment in Management’s Review.
