IDEX Biometrics ASA (“IDEX” or “Company”) released its preliminary financial statements for 2024 on 27 February 2025. Subsequently, on 11 March 2025, the Company announced its revised business strategy plan. The Company has reviewed its assets and business in view of this strategy. Certain equipment items have been written down and an obsolescence provision has been recognised on inventory, and other, minor adjustments have been made. The total effect for the IDEX Biometrics group on the consolidated result for 2024 and the consolidated net equity as of 31 December 2024 amounted to an increased loss of USD 1.6 million and lower equity by the same amount.

In the separate parent company financial statements for the parent company, IDEX Biometrics ASA, an additional write-down on investments in subsidiaries amounting to USD 5.7 million was recognized. This adjustment does not impact the consolidated result or equity for the IDEX Biometrics group.
