The Groups purpose is to enable and accelerate the field of proteomics by providing a platform of products and services that are deployed across major biopharmaceutical companies and leading clinical and academic institutions, to deepen the understanding of real-time human biology and drive 21st century healthcare through actionable and impactful science.

The Group supports customers in understanding real-time human biology through proteomics by providing clarity on mechanistic biology and pathways that drive disease; by identifying novel and causal drug targets, which guides candidate drug development; by revealing predictive biomarkers for drug response, disease risk and outcomes, which identifies which patients have the potential to benefit the most from new therapies and treatments; and, by detecting and characterizing indicators of disease and health to more proactively manage patient wellness. Our products and services play a role in decoding the biology of almost all disease areas and are used most frequently in immunology, oncology, neurology, cardiovascular and metabolic diseases.

Our dedication to customer satisfaction and quality has enabled us to expand our existing customer base from inception in 2016.

Since our inception, we have served a customer base of approximately 1059 customer accounts in over 40 countries worldwide. We support 75% of the world’s largest 50 biopharmaceutical companies by 2022 research and development spending, including 19 of the largest 20, and many leading academic institutions.

Important conditions and significant events

The legal status of Knilo HoldCo AB was changed under Swedish law from a private limited company to a public limited company and the name was changed to Olink Holding AB (publ) on January 27, 2021. The change in legal status and name has no material impact on the Group’s financial statements.

Olink Holding AB (publ)

559189-7755

In March 2021, Olink successfully listed on Nasdaq, New York, and became a publicly traded company.

On January 18, 2023 the Group launched a public offering of 5,831,028 ADSs, each representing one common share of the Company (the “ADSs”), consisting of 4,250,000 ADSs offered by the Company and 1,581,028 ADSs offered by certain selling shareholders of the Company (the “Selling Shareholders”). In addition, the Company granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to 874,654 additional ADSs. The Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the ADSs by the Selling Shareholders. The offering closed on January 23, 2023 with respect to the initial 4,250,000 ADSs offered by the company and 1,581,028 ADSs/shares offered by the selling stockholders.

Subsequent events

The Group evaluated subsequent events through March 25, 2024, the date on which the financial statements were issued, and the management determined that other than those that have been disclosed in the consolidated financial statements, there are no subsequent events that require recognition and disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

Future expected development and significant risks

The business will continue to develop strongly through continued market investments in the countries in which we operate. Emphasis will also be on further developing the product portfolio and the customer offering.

The Group operates in a highly expansive competitive market where a number of stakeholders may be interested in trying to develop innovative products based on new or existing technologies that may compete and thereby influence the Group's expected economic development.

The Group has multi-year strategic agreements with main suppliers and is dependent on these main suppliers to continue to supply the Group with raw materials according to plan and agreement.

Research and development

We deploy a substantial portion of our resources on developing new products and solutions. Our research and development efforts are focused on identifying and developing new biomarker expressions through our Affinity program, improving the performance in existing products and developing new product lines and features. We plan to continue to invest significantly in our research and development efforts, including hiring additional employees, to enhance existing products and develop new products. Our Affinity program is focused on expanding our library of proteins beyond approximately 5,400 that is commercially available to our customers today. The expansion of our library of proteins was further enabled by the acquisition of Agrisera in 2020; that vertically integrated our supply chain and enabled in house antibody production. In mid 2023 we expanded our Explore Kit offering through the launch of Olink Explore HT, which targets high-plex use-cases running on next generation sequencing (NGS) with a

Olink Holding AB (publ)

559189-7755

substantially simplified workflow offering four times higher throughput than its predecessor. Explore HT comprises of 5400 assays, up from 3000 assays with the former generation of Explore, Explore 3072.

2. Summary of Material Information about Accounting Policies

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented, unless otherwise stated. Unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in thousands of U.S. Dollars.

2.1 Basis of preparation

The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) as adopted by EU, the Swedish Financial Reporting Board’s recommendation RFR 1 Supplementary Accounting Rules for Groups and the Annual Accounts Act.

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the respective accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in note 3.

Assets and liabilities have been valued at acquisition cost. There are no financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

New and amended standards and interpretations

The following amendments will be applied for the first time in the annual reporting period commencing January 1, 2023:

•IFRS 17 Insurance contracts and Amendment to IFRS 17 Insurance contracts issued June 2020

•Amendments to IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts - Initial Application of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 – Comparative Information

•Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 Disclosure of accounting policies

•Amendments to IAS 8: Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors - Definition of Accounting Estimates,

Olink Holding AB (publ)

559189-7755

•Amendments to IAS 12 Deferred tax related to assets and liabilities arising from a single transaction

•Amendments to IAS 12 International tax reform - Pillar two model rules

The amendments listed above did not have a material impact on the amounts recognized in the current period and are not expected to significantly affect future periods.

New and amended standards not yet effective

The following new accounting standards, amendments to accounting standards and interpretations have been published but are not mandatory for December 31, 2023 reporting periods and have not been early adopted by the Company.

•Amendments to IFRS 16: Lease liability measurement in sale and leaseback transaction - IFRS16,

•Amendments to IAS 1: Presentation of Financial Statements - Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current,

•Amendments to IAS 1: Amendments regarding the classification of debt with covenants

•Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 Supplier finance arrangements

•Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28: Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture

These standards, amendments or interpretations are not expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.

2.2 Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries each period presented. Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Company has control.Control is achieved when the Company are exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Such subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the period are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date the Group gain control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary. A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction.

All intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated. Unrealized losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

The accounting principles for subsidiaries have been changed, where applicable, to ensure a consistent application of the Group’s accounting principles.

Material information about Accounting Policies

i. Business combinations

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition accounting method. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of the consideration transferred, and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity

Olink Holding AB (publ)

559189-7755

interest in the acquiree, over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recognized as goodwill. The costs of effecting an acquisition are charged to the consolidated statement of income in the period in which they are incurred.

ii. Foreign currency translation

Functional and presentation currency

The consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. Dollars. For the Parent and each subsidiary, the Group determines the functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each subsidiary are measured using that functional currency. In all cases the functional currency of a subsidiary is that of the primary country of operations of that subsidiary. On disposal of a foreign operation, the gain or loss that is reclassified to profit or loss reflects the amount that arises.

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions of the Group are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency spot rates of exchange at the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities measured in terms of historic cost in a foreign currency are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing on the initial transaction dates. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates prevailing on the date when the fair value is determined.

Differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items excluding cash at bank in hand are recognized in other operating income/expense, and cash at bank in hand are recognized in foreign exchange gain in the consolidated statements of income.

Translation of foreign subsidiaries

The results and the financial position for the Parent and all the Group subsidiaries with a functional currency other than the U.S.Dollar are translated into U.S. Dollars as follows:

•Assets and liabilities at each balance sheet date are translated using the exchange rates prevailing at that balance sheet date;

•Income statements are translated using the average exchange rate prevailing at the corresponding month;

•Exchange differences arising on translation for consolidation are recognized in Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”). On disposal of a foreign operation, the component of OCI relating to that particular foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss; and

•Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising from the acquisition of foreign operations are treated as assets and liabilities in these operations and are translated to the exchange rate at the balance sheet date.

iii. Revenue recognition

The Group generates revenue from the sale of its products in the form of kits, provision of analysis services, and also from provision of custom development services. Value added tax and other sales taxes are excluded from revenue and products are generally sold without the right of return or rebates.

The Group accounts for a contract or a group of contracts when the following criteria are met: the parties to the contract have approved the contract in which their rights, their obligations and the payment terms have been identified, the contract has commercial substance, and the collectability of the consideration is probable. Contracts with customers do not contain variable consideration.

Our Kit segment includes product sales of Explore, Flex, Focus and Target. The majority of the contracts for Kit products relate to sales orders containing single bundled performance obligations. Revenue from the sale of kits is recognized at the point in time when control of the products has transferred to the customer according to the shipping terms, typically Free Carrier (FCA) Incoterms. The average time from order to delivery is less than 1 month.

Analysis Services

The Group generates analysis services revenue from performing assay on customer samples to generate data on protein biomarkers. Revenue from the services is recognized at the point in time that the results of the analysis are transferred electronically to the customer as the customer does not control the asset created, and Olink does not have a right to payment until delivery of the results of the analysis.The majority of the analysis services contracts relate to sales orders containing single bundled performance obligation for the performance of services at fixed prices. Analysis services are sold at a fixed price per sample without any volume discounts, rebates, or refunds. The average duration of services contracts is less than 2 months.

Custom development services

The Group generates custom development revenue from providing customer specified Kits not available in our standard product set. Custom development projects are quoted at fixed price and extend over several months. Revenue from the development of the plates, a manufactured component in our kits, of custom development services is recognized over time since the Group has no alternative use for the asset created and has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. These contracts contain a single bundled performance obligation being the provision of custom development services of panels for performing assays on samples. The Group uses an input method to determine the progress completed of custom development service arrangements because there is a direct relationship between the effort (i.e. based on costs incurred against expected total costs) and the transfer of service to the customer.

The average duration of a custom development service contract is less than 12 months.

iv. Cost of revenue

Cost of revenue primarily consists of manufacturing costs incurred in the production process including personnel and related costs; costs of component materials; depreciation from property, plant, and equipment; manufacturing overhead; delivery costs and allocated facilities and information technology related costs. In addition, cost of revenue includes royalty costs for licensed technologies included in our products, and write downs to net realizable value for slow-moving and obsolete inventory.

v. Leases

When the Group enters into contractual agreements, an assessment is performed to determine if the contract contains a lease. The Group identifies a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a specific period in exchange for a determined consideration. At inception, a right-of-use asset for the underlying asset and corresponding lease liability are presented in the consolidated balance sheet measured on a present value basis except for short-term leases (expected term of 12 months or less) and leases with low value underlying asset for which payments are recorded as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The right-of-use-assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term of the underlying asset. Non-lease components are accounted for separately from the lease components.

Olink Holding AB (publ)

559189-7755

Lease liabilities are measured at present value of non-cancellable payments of the expected lease term, which are mostly made of fixed payments of rent excluding maintenance fees; variable payments that are based on an index or a rate; amounts expected to be payable as residual value guaranties and extension or termination option if reasonably certain to be exercised.

The Group estimates the lease term in order to calculate the value of the lease liability at the initial date of the lease. Management uses judgement to determine the appropriate lease term based on the conditions of each lease. The Group considers all facts that create incentive to exercise an extension option or not to take a termination option including leasehold improvements, significant modification of the underlying asset or a business decision. The extension or termination options are only included in the lease term if it is reasonably certain of being exercised.

The discount rate used in the present value calculation is the incremental borrowing rate ("IBR") unless the implicit interest rate in the lease can be readily determined. The Group estimates the incremental borrowing rate for each lease or portfolio of leased assets, as most of the implicit interest rates in the leases are not readily determinable. To calculate the incremental borrowing rate, the Group considers its credit worthiness, the term of the arrangement, any collateral received and the economic environment. The incremental borrowing rates are subject to change mainly due to changes in the economic environment.

The lease liabilities are subsequently adjusted to reflect interest on the lease liabilities and lease payments made. Lease liabilities are remeasured (along with the corresponding adjustment to the right-of-use asset), whenever the following situations occur; a modification in the lease term, a change in the assessment of an option to purchase, a modification in the residual guarantees or in future lease payments due to a change of an index or rate tied to the payments. In addition, upon partial or full termination of a lease, the difference between the carrying amounts of the lease liability and the right-of-use asset is recorded in the consolidated statements of earnings.

vi. Goodwill

Goodwill arises on the acquisition of subsidiaries and is the excess of the consideration transferred over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is stated at cost less impairments, is deemed to have an indefinite useful life and is tested for impairment at least annually.

vii. Intangible assets

Intangible assets are stated at cost less provisions for amortization and impairments. Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is their fair value at the date of acquisition.

Licenses separately acquired or acquired as part of a business combination are amortized over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line basis, from the time they are available for use.

Customer relationships and technology acquired as part of a business combination are amortized over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line basis.

Brands acquired as part of a business combination are deemed to have indefinite useful lives. The acquired brands are well-established within the industry, as evidenced by continued demand from and collaboration with blue chip research institutions. Further, the business is expected to operate under these brands for the foreseeable future, thus supporting the indefinite classification. These intangible assets are not amortized, but are tested for impairment annually, either individually or at the cash- generating unit level. The assessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life continues to be supportable. If not, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis.

Licenses and customer relationships have estimated useful lives of up to 10 years and research and development technology have estimated useful lives of up to 15 years. Asset lives are reviewed, and where appropriate adjusted, annually.

Olink Holding AB (publ)

559189-7755

Research and Development costs

Expenditure on research activities is recognized in the consolidated statement of income as incurred. Development expenditure from a project is capitalized as an intangible asset only if the expenditure can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable and the Group intends to and have sufficient resources to complete development and to use or sell the asset. Otherwise, it is recognized in consolidated statement of income as research and development expenses. Subsequent to initial recognition, development expenditure is measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

Amortization begins from the time the asset is ready for use. Depreciation is made on a straight-line basis over the useful life. The useful life is determined when the development project is finished and is estimated to 5 years.

viii. Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment (PP&E) includes buildings, leasehold improvements; plant and machinery; furniture fittings and equipment; and assets under construction. PP&E is stated at the cost of purchase or construction, less provisions for depreciation and impairment. Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost less residual value of PP&E, excluding freehold land, using the straight-line basis over the expected useful life. Residual values and lives are reviewed, and where appropriate adjusted annually. The normal expected useful lives of the major categories of PP&E are:

•Leasehold improvements shorter of the lease term or useful life

•Plant and machinery 5 years

•Furniture, fittings and equipment 5 years

On disposal of PP&E, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and impairments are removed from the balance sheet and the net amount, less any proceeds, is recognized in the income statement.

ix. Impairment of non-current assets

The carrying values of non-current assets are reviewed for impairment, either on a stand-alone basis or as part of a larger CGU, when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may be impaired. The Company assesses at each reporting date whether any such events or changes in circumstances exist. Additionally, goodwill, intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets which are not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are largely independent cash inflows, for Olink this is Analysis Services and Kits. Any provision for impairment is charged to the consolidated statement of income in expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset.

Impairments of goodwill are not reversed. Impairment losses on other non-current assets are only reversed if there has been a change in estimates used to determine recoverable amounts and only to the extent that the revised recoverable amounts do not exceed the carrying values that would have existed, net of depreciation or amortization, had no impairments been recognized.

x. Inventories

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value on a first-in, first-out basis. Cost comprises direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure, the latter being allocated based on normal operating capacity. Cost is determined using a standard cost system, whereby the standard costs are updated periodically to reflect current costs.

Olink Holding AB (publ)

559189-7755

The Group estimates the recoverability of inventory by referencing estimates of future demands and product life cycles, including expiration. The Group periodically analyses its inventory levels to identify inventory that may expire prior to expected usage or no longer meets quality specifications. Raw materials and finished goods within 180 days of expiration are considered slow moving and are considered obsolete when they are past the expiration date. When we have identified inventories to be in excess or obsolete, we write down the value of those inventories to their net realizable value based upon judgment and estimates about future demand and market conditions.

The Group does research and development on new antibodies to be added to our Kit products. For these antibodies, the outcome of the process is uncertain due to the nature of the materials and process for creating them. The Group determines the cost of inventory using the historical success rate, updated regularly, based on internal testing of technical feasibility and expenses the cost to research and development expenses in the consolidated statement of income for the portion expected to not be successful. Direct and indirect manufacturing costs incurred during research and development activities are expensed to research and development expense in the consolidated statement of income as consumed.

xi. Financial instruments

Financial assets

The Group’s financial assets are comprised of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, restricted cash and other non-current assets. All financial assets are recognized initially at fair value. Purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the settlement date, being the date upon which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset.

Trade receivables

Trade receivables are measured at amortized cost and are carried at the original invoice amount less ECL allowance. For trade receivables, the Group applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognizes a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The Group has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience.

When a trade receivable is determined to have no reasonable expectation of recovery it is written off against any ECL allowance available and then to selling expenses in the consolidated statement of income. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously provided for or written off are credited selling expenses.

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash

Cash and cash equivalents are measured at amortized cost and includes cash on hand and call deposits with financial institutions.

Cash deposits that have restrictions governing their use are classified as restricted cash, current or non-current, based on the remaining length of the restriction. See Note 16 and 25.

Financial liabilities

The Group’ financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings (including bank overdrafts), and other liabilities. All financial liabilities, except lease liabilities, are recognized initially at fair value.

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at FVTPL, loans and borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans, borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.

Olink Holding AB (publ)

559189-7755

Loans and borrowings are subsequently carried at amortized cost, with the difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognized as a charge to the consolidated statements of other comprehensive income over the period of the relevant borrowing.

Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or transfer and the Group has transferred substantially the risks and rewards of ownership. Financial liabilities are derecognized when the contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expired. When the terms of a financial liability are modified, and not derecognized, the gain or loss is recognized in the statement of income and other comprehensive income. The gain or loss is the difference between the original contractual cash flows and the modified cash flows discounted to the original effective interest rate.

xii. Shared-based payments

The Group operates restricted stock unit awards (RSU) and equity-settled stock option plans (ISO) under which the Group receives services from employees, officers and directors as consideration for equity instruments. Information relating to these schemes is set out in Note 21.

The fair value of the share-based payments is established on the closing price of ADS's of the Company on NASDAQ for the RSU's at grant date and using the Black-Scholes option pricing model for the ISO's. The number of RSU's and ISO's expected to vest are estimated on the grant date and subsequently revised on each reporting date.

Stock options

The fair value of options granted under the stock options program, adjusted for expectations related to forfeitures, is recognized as an employee benefits expense in selling, administration, and research and development expenses in the consolidated statement of income, with a corresponding increase in other contributed capital over the vesting period.

The total expense is recognized over the vesting period of four years, which is the period over which the vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of each period, the Company revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the service conditions. It recognizes the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in profit or loss, with a corresponding adjustment to contributed capital.

Restricted stock units

Under the employee restricted stock units scheme, the RSU’s will vest during a four-year period and new shares will be issued when the RSU vest for no cash consideration. Over the vesting period, the market value of the RSU’s is recognized as an employee benefits expense in selling, administration, research and development, and COGS expenses in the consolidated statement of income, with a corresponding increase in contributed capital.

The total expense is recognized over the vesting period of four years, which is the period over which the vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of each period, the Company revises its estimates of the number of RSU's that are expected to vest based on the service conditions. It recognizes the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in profit or loss, with a corresponding adjustment to contributed capital.

xiii. Current and deferred income tax

Income taxes are accounted for using the liability method of accounting. Current income tax is provided at the amounts expected to be paid, applying tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Olink Holding AB (publ)

559189-7755

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on deductible or taxable temporary differences between the amounts reported for consolidated financial statement purposes and the tax values of the assets and liabilities using enacted or substantively enacted tax rates that will be in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized in earnings, in other comprehensive income or in equity based on the classification of the item to which they relate. Temporary differences attributable to the following assets and liabilities are not provided for:

•the initial recognition of goodwill,

•the initial recognition (other than in business combinations) of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit,

•differences related to investments in subsidiaries, associated companies and joint ventures to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future, and for which the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences.

A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized. In the calculation of deferred taxes, enacted or substantively enacted tax rates are used for the individual tax jurisdictions.

3. Significant accounting estimates and judgements

In preparing these consolidated financial statements, management is required to make significant judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities, and equity in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying disclosures. Estimates and judgements are continuously evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events.

In the process of applying the Group’ accounting policies, management has made the following judgements and estimates, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated Group financial statements:

Impact of ongoing conflicts

We are continuing to closely monitor how the armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine, as well as the Israel-Hamas conflict, are affecting our business. As of December 31, 2023, we concluded there was no evidence of material changes to recoverability risk of business assets, including deferred tax assets and trade receivables. Olink does not have significant sales or direct supply from Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, or the proximate regions affected by the Israel-Hamas conflict, though the impact from the armed conflicts on macro-economic conditions is currently unknown and could in the future have a negative effect on our results of operations, cash flows, financial condition or growth plans.

We continue to closely monitor our IT systems based on the general risk of potential cyberattacks by state or quasi-state actors as a result of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

3.1 Share-based compensation

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The Group estimates the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees and non-employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The assumptions and models used for estimating the fair value of share-based compensation transactions are disclosed in Note 21. The Group also estimates a forfeiture rate to calculate the stock-based compensation expense for the awards. The forfeiture rate is estimated based on an analysis of actual forfeitures.

Olink Holding AB (publ)

559189-7755

3.2 Goodwill impairment

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

In accordance with the accounting policy described in "ix" in Note 2.3, the Group annually performs an impairment test on goodwill and indefinite lived assets. The recoverable amount of each CGU has been determined based on its value in use calculation, which includes estimates about their future financial performance based on cash flows approved by management.

Accounting Judgement

Asset impairment requires managements judgement, particularly in assessing factors such as our ability to continue developing and expanding products and services offered to address emerging business demands, and our ability to hire and retain qualified professionals can affect future cash flows, and actual results might differ from future cash flows used in the goodwill impairment test. The assumptions used for estimating fair value and assessing available headroom based on conditions that existed at the testing date are disclosed in note 12. Historically, the Company has not recorded an impairment charge on goodwill.

3.3 Deferred taxes

Accounting Judgement

The Group has recognized deferred tax assets for fiscal loss carry-forwards, and deductible temporary differences. The Group considers the analysis of forecast and future tax planning strategies. Estimates of taxable profit are made based on the forecast which are aligned with goodwill impairment testing assumptions, on an undiscounted basis. Management judgement is required concerning uncertainties that exist with respect to the timing of future taxable income required to recognize a deferred tax asset. At period end, we assess whether there is convincing evidence that the Group will generate future taxable income against which deferred tax assets can be utilized and, thus, that recovery is probable. See Note 10.

3.4 Leases

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The discount rate is used to determine the initial carrying amount of the lease liabilities and the right-of-use assets. The Group cannot readily determine the interest rate implicit in the lease, therefore, it uses its IBR to measure lease liabilities. The Group estimates the IBR using observable inputs (such as market interest rates) when available and is required to make certain entity-specific estimates.

Olink Holding AB (publ)

559189-7755

Accounting Judgement

At initial recognition and subsequent remeasurement, management uses judgement to determine the appropriate term applied in a lease contract. The outcome may turn out not to match the actual outcome of the lease and may have an adverse effect on the right-of-use assets. In determining the lease term, management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option. Extension options (or periods after termination options) are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended (or not terminated).

3.5 Development costs

Accounting Judgement

The Group has a process to determine whether development costs meet the criteria for capitalization. However, based on management’s judgement and the nature of the development activities, such criteria and in particular technical and economic feasibility is normally not met until the development phase is complete.

4. Financial risk management

4.1 Financial risk factors

The Group's activities are subject to several financial risks: market risk (including currency risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group strives to minimize potential unfavorable effects from these risks on the Group financial results.

The aim of the Group financial operations is to:

• Ensure that the Group can meet their financial obligations timely

• Manage financial risks; and,

• Ensure a supply of necessary financing.

The Group’ risk management is predominantly controlled by senior management.

Market risk — Currency risk (transaction risk)

The Group operates internationally and are exposed to currency risk where invoicing is made in a currency other than the functional currency of the relevant Group entity. Primarily, the Group is exposed to currency risk in Group companies with SEK as the functional currency. The primary risks in these companies are USD/SEK, EUR/SEK, GBP/SEK and JPY/SEK due to sales (trade receivables and royalties) and purchases (trade payables and accrued expenses). Mitigation of this risk occurs naturally by matching expenses and obtaining borrowings, as required, in the same foreign currency. The currency risk is monitored on a regular basis. The Group has not entered into derivative currency instruments during the reported period.

Exposure

The Group's primary exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period was as follows:

Sensitivity

The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in USD, EUR, GBP and JPY against SEK as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, with all other variables held constant. The impact on the Group's loss before tax is due to changes in the fair value of monetary item assets and monetary liabilities. There is no additional impact on the components of equity because the Group did not have any item that directly affected equity. The Groups’s exposure to foreign currency changes for all other currencies is not material.

The below analysis is based on FX-changes of 3% on the USD, EUR, GBP and JPY.

The Group's’s risk exposure in foreign currencies:

Olink Holding AB (publ)

GBP/SEK exchange rate - decrease 3 %						(57)
JPY/SEK exchange rate - increase 3 %						42
JPY/SEK exchange rate - decrease 3 %						(42)

Market risk — Interest-rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.

As of December 31, 2023, the Group do not have any outstanding debt or other debt structures other than leasing. The Group does not hold any fixed-income investments.

Interest rate derivative instruments were not used by the Group during the reporting period.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Group is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its investing activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions and foreign exchange transactions. Credit risk relates primarily to customer credit limits, which are subject to certain credit rating rules and authorization processes. However, the majority of the Group customer base tend to be blue chip global companies and therefore such customers usually have strong credit ratings. Group’s sales are concentrated such that 46% of sales in 2023 and 48% of sales in 2022 are with customers based in the Americas (including U.S).

The maximum default risk for the Group is equivalent to the net receivables reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Group have historically almost non-existent credit losses and based on historical data together with a forward-looking assessment, the 2023 expected credit loss for trade receivables is disclosed in Note 16, ‘Financial instruments per category’.

The Group’s cash at bank is held in Investment Grade credit rated banks. To mitigate the counterparty risk cash is distributed among different banks and it is monitored on a regular basis.

Olink Holding AB (publ)

559189-7755

Other financial assets at amortized cost include rental deposits. The credit risk for other financial assets at amortized cost as at December 31, 2023 and 2022 is not material and no credit loss reserve has been recognized.

Liquidity risk

Cash at bank allows the Group to meet its liquidity risk obligations as they come due. Following the Initial Public Offering of the Group in March, 2021 the liquidity risk has been managed by cash at bank deposits.

The following table includes an analysis of the Groups’s financial liabilities, grouped according to their maturity dates based on contractual undiscounted payments and considers the period remaining until their contractual maturity date as at December 31, 2023 and 2022:

4.2 Capital management

For the purpose of the Group's capital management, capital includes issued capital, other contributed capital and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders of the Company. The Group's capital structure and dividend policy is decided by the board of directors, The Financial operations continuously reviews the Group's capital structure considering amongst other things, market conditions, financial flexibility, business risk, and growth rate. The primary objective of the Group's’ capital management is to maximize the shareholder value.

5. Segment and revenue information

5.1 Description of segments and principal activities

Operating segments are reported based on the financial information provided to the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). The CEO is identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) of the Group. The CODM monitors the operating results of its operating segments separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on revenue growth with less emphasis on profit or loss due to the early stage development of the Group. Profit or loss is measured consistently with net profit or net loss in the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group. The CODM monitors the operating segments based on revenue growth and

Olink Holding AB (publ)

559189-7755

gross profit and reports its results under two segments: Kit and Services. All other operating segments have been aggregated and are included within the All other segments heading.

The Group's research and development activities, sales & administrative activities, financing (including finance costs, finance income and other income) and income taxes are managed on a corporate basis and are not allocated to operating segments. Such expenditure is included in All other segments.

Capital expenditure consists of additions of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.

The Group has tax losses that arose in Sweden of $77,091 thousand (2022: $40,683 thousand) that are available indefinitely for offsetting against future taxable profits of the entities in which the losses arose. It also has tax losses related to interest expense deductions that arose in Sweden of $15,047 thousand (2022: $14,924 thousand) that are available for up to 6 years for offsetting against future taxable profits of the entities in which the deduction arose. The year on year movement on tax losses related to interest expense deductions is solely related to changes in foreign exchange.

Based on management's projections regarding future taxable profits, the Group has recognized deferred tax assets for the former but not for the latter because it is not currently probable that the entities in which the loss arose will be able to generate sufficient taxable profits before these entities taxable deduction offsets expire after 6 years. Furthermore, these taxable deductions are not available to other group entities where profits are expected to arise. In evaluating the probability of realizing the deferred tax assets, the Company considered all available positive and negative evidence of future taxable income, including past operating results and forecasted market growth and earnings. During 2023, a gross movement of $10,439 thousand (2022 $1,755 thousand) was recorded in the deferred tax asset with a net impact of $8,272 thousand (2022 $2,725 thousand) on the annual results. If the Company were able to recognize all unrecognized deferred tax assets, net profit would increase by $3,100 thousand (2022: $3,074 thousand).

13.1 Test of goodwill and indefinite lived assets impairment

For impairment testing, goodwill acquired through business combinations and brands with indefinite useful lives are allocated to the Kit and Services CGUs, which are also reportable segments.

Amounts in thousands of US Dollars


As of December 31, 2023	Kit		Services		Total
Goodwill	$	121,006	$	30,687	$	151,693
Brands	$13,840		$9,139		$22,979

As of December 31, 2022	Kit		Services		Total
Goodwill	$	116,274	$	29,671	$	145,945
Brands	$	13,291	$	8,817	$	22,108

The recoverable amounts of the CGUs’ value-in-use calculation is based on cash flow projections from financial budgets approved by senior management covering a ten-year period. The forecast period exceeds 5 years since the market for Olink's products is a relatively new market and we expect strong growth over the next 10 years.

The discount rates used in 2023 and 2022 are based on the Company’s WACC of 14% and 17% respectively, as both CGUs have integrated operations across the business. The discount rate is adjusted

Olink Holding AB (publ)

559189-7755

where appropriate for specific segment, country and currency risks. The valuation methodology uses significant inputs which are not based on observable market data; therefore, this valuation technique is classified as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Details relating to the discounted cash flow models used in the impairment tests of the Kit and Services CGUs are as follows:


Valuation basis	Value in use
Key assumptions	•Sales growth rates •Profit margins •Terminal growth rate •Discount rate
Determination of assumptions	•Sales growth rates are internal forecasts based on both internal and external market information •Profit margins are internal forecasts based on both internal and external market information •Terminal growth rates based on management’s estimate of future long-term average growth rates •Discount rates based on the Company’s WACC, adjusted where appropriate.
Period of specific projected cash flows	10 years
Terminal growth rate and discount rate	Terminal growth rate		Discount rate 2023/2022
	Kit and Services CGUs	2% per annum	14%/17%

The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test for each of its reporting units during the fourth quarter in 2023 and 2022 using a discounted cash flow analysis, concluded that the recoverable amounts of all of its reporting units were in excess of their carrying values. No impairment of goodwill was required.

The discounted cash flow analysis includes management’s current assumptions as to future cash flows and long-term growth rates. A sensitivity analysis including all key assumptions is performed and management believe that no reasonably possible change in any of the above key assumptions would cause the carrying value to materially exceed the recoverable value. For all cash generating units there is sufficient headroom before any changes in key assumptions would cause a valuation adjustment. The performed sensitivity analysis demonstrates that the value of goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful life is more than defensible even if the discount rate is increased with one and a half percentage points and if the growth rate after the forecast period is decreased with two percentage points for all cash generating units. Even forecasts for sales growth and profit margins are included in the sensitivity analysis and no reasonable changes in these would cause a need of impairment.

21. Stock-based compensation

On April 17, 2023 at the Annual General Meeting, our shareholders resolved to adopt two long term incentive programs, LTI I 2023 and LTI II 2023 and simultaneously amending our Amended and Restated 2021 Incentive Award Plan (the “Plan”). The amendment to the plan increased the maximum shares of stock available for issuance by 980,000 shares. The 2021 Incentive Award Plan was initially adopted by the company on March 16, 2021, and approved by the shareholders of the Company on March 16, 2021, in connection with approval by the Company’s shareholders of LTI 2021 (the “Original Plan”). The Original Plan was amended and restated on April 7, 2022 at the Annual General Meeting when our shareholders resolved to adopt two long-term incentive programs, LTI I 2022 and LTI II 2022. The principal purpose of the Plan is to attract, retain and motivate selected employees, consultants and directors through the granting of share-based compensation awards and cash-based performance bonus awards. The Company has prior to 2023 filed two registration statements on Form S-8 covering 1,085,900 shares under the Original Plan and an additional 594,403 common shares under the Amended and Restated 2021 Incentive Award Plan. Together with the amendment approved On April 17, 2023 a total of 2,660,303 shares are available for issuance pursuant to a variety of stock-based compensation awards, including stock option and restricted stock unit awards; provided, however, that no more than 2,660,303 additional shares may be issued. Shares available under all plans will, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, be issued when the awards under the respective program vest, subject to continued service, over a four-year period from the grant date, and, in case of stock options, upon the option holder exercising the option. The expiration date on stock options awarded under the programs is five years from grant date.

Incentive stock options

In connection with the closing of the initial public offering, the Company granted options to purchase an aggregate of 620,675 common shares out of the Original Plan, of which 442,789 options were granted to certain executive officers and directors, in each case with an exercise price equal to 125% of the initial public offering price of $20.00. During the second quarter of 2022, 107,074 options that had been approved at the Annual General Meeting on April 7, 2022, were awarded to certain executive officers and directors, in each case with an exercise price of $17.39 which is equal to 100% of the share price at grant date. During the second quarter of 2023, 99,480 options that had been approved at the Annual General Meeting on April 17, 2023, were awarded to certain executive officers and directors, in each case with an exercise price of $22.79 which is equal to 100% of the share price at grant date.

Such options shall vest over four years, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. The expiration date on the options is five years from grant date.

The share-based compensation cost is calculated according to the following: The employee stock options were granted free of charge and are accounted for as equity-settled share-based payment transactions. Fair value per option at grant date multiplied by the number of outstanding share options multiplied by the number of days passed and divided by the total number of days in the vesting period. To calculate fair value per share option at the grant date, the principles of the Black-Scholes model have been used. The expense associated with these stock options amounted to $0.9 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. The expense associated with these stock options amounted to $1.2 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022.

The following table lists the inputs to the Black-Scholes models used for stock options for the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022.

Notes to the parent company financial statement

Note 1 Accounting policies and basis of measurement

Accounting policies of the parent company

The Parent Company has prepared its annual report in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act (1995:1554) and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board’s recommendation RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities. The recommendation issued by the Swedish Financial Reporting Board applicable to listed companies is also applied. RFR 2 means that the Parent Company in the annual report for the legal entity shall apply all IFRSs and interpretations adopted by the EU as far as possible within the framework of the Annual Accounts Act, the Social Security Act and with regard to the connection between accounting and taxation. The recommendation states which exceptions from and additions to IFRS are to be made.

The functional currency of the Parent Company is SEK.

Differences between the Group's and the Parent Company's accounting principles

The differences between the Group's and the Parent Company's accounting principles are presented below. The accounting principles for the Parent Company below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in the Parent Company's financial statements.

Changed accounting principles

Unless otherwise stated below, the Parent Company's accounting principles during 2023 have changed in accordance with what is stated for the Group.

Classification and presentation

The Parent Company uses the title balance sheet and cash flow statement for the reports that in the Group have the titles Statement of Financial Position and Statement of Cash Flows. The income statement and the balance sheet of the Parent Company are presented in accordance with the scheme in the Annual Accounts Act. The statement of other comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash flow are presented in accordance with IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flow. The differences in the Parent Company’s income statement and balance sheet in comparison with the Group are mainly accounting of financial income and expenses, non-current assets, and equity.

Revenue

Revenue has been recognized at fair value of what has been or will be received and is reported to the extent that it is probable that the financial benefits will be credited to the Parent Company and the revenue can be calculated in a reliable manner.

Compensation in the form of interest, royalties or dividends is reported as income as it is probable that the Parent Company will receive the financial benefits associated with the transaction and when the income can be calculated in a reliable manner.

Subsidiaries

Shares in subsidiaries are accounted for according to the cost method. This means that transaction costs are included in the acquisition cost for shares in subsidiaries. In the Group, transaction costs of subsidiaries are accounted for directly in the profit or loss. The recoverable amount is calculated if there is an indication of impairment of participations in subsidiaries. If this value is lower than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. Impairment is recognized under Profit from participations in Group companies.

Olink Holding AB (publ)

559189-7755

Financial instruments

The Parent Company has chosen not to apply IFRS 9 for financial instruments. However, parts of the principles in IFRS 9 are still applicable - such as impairments, recognition / derecognition and the effective interest method for interest income and interest expenses.

In the Parent Company, financial fixed assets are valued at cost of acquisition less any impairments and financial current assets according to the lowest value principle. For financial assets that are valued at amortized cost, the rules on impairment in IFRS 9 are applied.

Anticipated dividends

Anticipated dividends from subsidiaries are recognized when the Parent Company alone has the right to decide on the size of the dividend and the Parent Company has decided on the size of the dividend before the Parent Company has published its financial reports. Dividends is recognized under Profit from participations in Group companies.

Tax

In the Parent Company, untaxed reserves are recognized in the balance sheet without a breakdown by equity and deferred tax liability, unlike in the Group. In addition, the Parent Company does not distribute appropriations from deferred tax expense in the income statement.

Group contribution

Group contribution is recognized as an appropriation.

Note 2 Significant Accounting estimates and judgements

In preparing the financial statements and application of accounting policies, management makes judgements and estimates that are considered reasonable at the time the assessment is made.

Judgements and estimates are based on historical experience and a number of other factors, which under prevailing circumstances are considered reasonable. The results of these are used to assess the reported values of assets and liabilities, which are not otherwise clear from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates and judgements. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. According to management, significant judgements made in applying accounting policies and sources of uncertainty in estimates are mainly related to investments in subsidiaries.
