Letter to Shareholders
Jim-Heng Lee (CEO) and Riet Cadonau (Chairman)
Strong organic sales growth with 
margins impacted by supply chain 
constraints and inflationary trends
Dear Shareholders,
dormakaba posted strong growth despite external headwinds for financial year 2021/22. 
Organic sales growth was at 7.7% and above the guidance range of 3 to 5%. Growth was 
most pronounced in the Regions Asia Pacific and Americas, but also good in Europe & 
Africa. In Key & Wall Solutions, growth picked up in the second half-year as Movable Walls 
started to convert part of its Covid-related project backlog into sales. External headwinds 
such as shortages of electronic components, labor and building materials in general 
prevented even better growth.
Adjusted EBITDA improved to CHF 372.3 million (previous year: CHF 362.0 million). The 
adjusted EBITDA margin at 13.5% was below the guidance given on 2 March, when it was 
still too early to assess the full impact of the war in Ukraine. The subsequent accelerated 
inflation could only partly be compensated with price increases in the short-term. The 
margin was further impacted by supply chain constraints, as for example orders for high-
margin electronic products could not be processed due to the components shortage.
In the period under review, dormakaba underwent some changes in management and in the 
way of how we conduct our business going forward. From 1 January 2022 onwards, Jim-
Heng Lee has taken on the role as CEO of dormakaba, and the company started 
implementing its new strategy Shape4Growth under his leadership.
Shape4Growth aims to accelerate profitable growth through focusing our core businesses, 
core markets and customer-centricity, enabled by enhancements in operational excellence 
and scale, capital deployment and a high-performance company culture. The new strategy 
also includes a change in operating model designed to enable a stronger focus on our 
customers, to increase our operational efficiency, to gain scale and to increase 
transparency and accountability. Looking back on the first six months of implementation, 
while there is still a significant way to go, we already achieved several milestones. These 
include strengthening our sales and specification organization, accelerating the IT platform 
harmonization, and focusing on selling our core products as integrated solutions and 
services such as for example our EntriWorX Ecosystem.  Another important step for 
implementing of our growth strategy was the divestment of the dilutive hollow metal doors 
business Mesker in the USA. With the transaction completed on 21 June 2022, the Region 
Americas team is now able to fully focus on our access solutions core business to improve 
our performance on the North American market.
Digitalization continues to be an important driver in our industry and embraces processes, 
products, and services alike. dormakaba's new setup creates opportunities for new business

models, enhanced market positioning and a clear differentiation when it comes to providing 
customers with sustainable solutions along the building lifecycle.
To expand our market position, dormakaba entered various partnerships in the past year, 
for example with 
. In July 2022, we announced a strategic partnership with 
, one of Europe’s market leaders for innovative building envelopes. Under the 
partnership agreement, dormakaba and Schüco will work together to accelerate strategic 
development projects in digitalization and access control. In a first step, the two companies 
will develop a door-integrated access management system and link up the EntriWorX 
digital platform for door solutions with the SchüCal configuration and calculation tool. Our 
EntriWorX Ecosystem solution continues to convince partners and customers alike: in April, 
it was awarded as the most innovative "Smart Buildings" product by the renowned 
German trade magazine S&B.
Vanderlande
Schüco
Our approach to innovation and commitment to customer-centricity won us numerous 
prestigious tenders during the period under review. Avinor Group, the operator of all the 
state-owned airports in Norway, chose us as its exclusive partner to supply and service 450 
self-boarding gates, providing seamless but secure flow to its passengers. Other wins 
include access solutions for the Jakarta Stadium in Indonesia or managing people flow and 
access in the latest Smart City development Bernapark in the Swiss capital.
Finally, we have strengthened our core business in various markets with acquisitions. For 
example, in France: With 
, we expanded our market presence and offering 
especially in the Services business, doubling the share of Services in our product mix in the 
country. In addition, joining forces offered various cross-selling opportunities for other areas 
of our core business, enabling us to better support our customers in generating value over 
the lifecycle of their buildings. Further acquisitions in key markets such as Australia 
(
) and the Netherlands (
, 
) complemented our approach to increase 
our competitiveness.

Financial Performance
Shape4Growth includes the transition to a new operating model, with related changes in 
organizational setup and financial reporting. On 1 January 2022, we shifted our setup to 
three customer-centric Regions and sales organizations for Access Solutions – Americas, 
Asia Pacific, and Europe & Africa. The previous segments AS DACH and AS EMEA were 
merged accordingly, the Market Middle East was consolidated into Asia Pacific. In addition, 
three global functions (Marketing & Products, Operations and Product Development ) were 
introduced to support above Regions. Key & Wall Solutions remains unchanged as a self-
contained global business. A more detailed description of the new operating model is 
available in the Notes on the Financial Statements.
dormakaba increased net sales by 10.3% to CHF 2,756.9 million in 2021/22 (previous year: 
CHF 2,499.7 million). Organic sales growth contributed most with 7.7% (thereof 3.5% 
pricing) to the overall sales increase. In addition, portfolio adjustments (inorganic growth) 
added 2.8% to higher net sales, and currency translation effects were almost flat with a 
contribution of -0.1%.
 Adjusted EBITDA increased by 2.8% to CHF 372.3 million (previous year: CHF 362.0 million). 
The adjusted EBITDA margin was 13.5% (previous year: 14.5%). There was a positive margin 
contribution due to higher sales volumes, increased sales prices, and improvements in 
operational efficiency. However, these effects were more than offset by inflation including 
higher raw material, freight, labor, and energy costs. The impact of inflationary pressure 
was more pronounced in the second half of the year.
Items affecting comparability were at CHF -88.6 million on EBIT (previous year: CHF -9.3 
million) and mainly related to the Mesker divestment and the strategy development and 
implementation.

Letter to Shareholders
Performance of Regions (Access Solutions) and Key & Wall Solutions
dormakaba experienced good demand in most of its markets, with good order intakes and 
order backlogs.
Organic sales in 
 (North and South America) increased by 8.3% year-on-
year, driven by the continued recovery in the US commercial construction market and by 
market share gains. The adjusted EBITDA margin was 17.8% (previous year: 19.3%) and was 
impacted by cost inflation and a negative product mix effect. The Mesker business, which 
was divested in mid-June 2022, had a negative effect of 210 basis points (previous year: 
240 basis points) on the Region’s adjusted EBITDA margin.
Region Americas
Organic sales in 
 grew by 11.3% year-on-year, with all major Markets 
contributing to growth. The adjusted EBITDA margin was 18.9% (previous year: 18.5%). The 
slightly higher margin was supported by good volume growth, which overcompensated a 
negative mix effect.
Region Asia Pacific
Organic sales for 
 grew by 5.9% year-on-year. All Markets 
experienced solid growth despite headwinds. The adjusted EBITDA was 20.6% (previous 
year: 21.1%), as higher sales volumes, price increases, operational efficiency and effective 
cost management could not fully offset the inflationary pressure and the margin dilution 
from lower sales in high-margin Electronic Access & Data products.
Region Europe & Africa
Organic sales in 
 grew by 5.7% year-on-year. There was strong organic 
growth for Business Unit Key Systems (10.4%). Organic sales for Business Unit Movable 
Walls were 0.6% lower than in the previous year due to delays in the release of orders and 
projects resulting from labor shortages across the construction market; sales recovered 
during the second half, with high single-digit growth in the final quarter. The adjusted 
EBITDA margin was 14.0% (previous year: 15.9%).
Key & Wall Solutions
Cash flow and net profit
Cash flow from operations decreased to CHF 188.4million (previous year: CHF 384.5 
million). The reduction on the previous year is due to an increase in net working capital 
driven by a rise in inventories due to higher volumes and higher raw material prices, build-up 
of safety stock for electronic components and certain other raw materials, as well as higher 
goods in transit due to freight and supply chain constraints.
dormakaba closed the financial year 2021/22 with a net profit of CHF 122.5 million (previous 
year: CHF 193.3 million) which was impacted by the divestment of the Mesker business in 
mid-June 2022 (CHF 61.4 million) as well as by investments linked to the implementation of 
the new strategy Shape4Growth.
The Board of Directors has decided to exclude the effect of the Mesker divestment in the 
dividend payout calculation. As the transaction has no material impact on the company’s 
cash flow, the Board proposes that CHF 11.50 per share be paid out for the financial year 
2021/22 (previous year: CHF 12.50 per share). This corresponds to a payout ratio of 50.4%.
Sustainability progress
dormakaba has committed to an industry-leading framework for sustainability, with over 
30 ambitious ESG targets as part of Shape4Growth. dormakaba shares the belief that 
sustainability is core to the future of the building industry, and thus to the business model. 
With Shape4Growth, we have further integrated sustainability into our solutions, 
operations, and processes to better respond to customers’ expectations.
For example, we have launched the 
 on the Austrian and Swiss markets. 
The product is a new, energy-saving automatic sliding door with a thermally separated 
profile system that reduces energy loss in the building due to a very low heat transfer 
coefficient. This is our first product aligned to EU Taxonomy climate change mitigation 
objectives, which is the classification system established to clarify which investments are 
environmentally sustainable, in the context of the European Green Deal. The aim of the

taxonomy is to prevent greenwashing and to help investors and customers make greener 
choices.
As regards our key sustainability objectives, dormakaba showed a positive performance in 
the year under review. We have achieved a 2.4% year-on-year reduction in Scope 1 and 2 
carbon emissions. As at 30 June 2022, 67% of our plants, local assembly centers and 
regional logistic centers have established energy management systems (previous year: 
21%). Good energy management is a key lever to meeting our climate targets.
And as part of the commitment towards a 1.5°C future and to reduce our operational 
emissions by 42% by 2030, we started a Value Discovery Audit process in partnership with 
Siemens at ten of our largest manufacturing sites. The aim of the partnership is to execute 
projects based on audits to discover energy efficiency and carbon saving potentials, to 
maximize energy and CO  savings by implementing the right strategies and measures for 
the individual site. The Value Discovery Audit has been successfully closed, with a result of a 
potential for over 4,000 tCO  reduction. To reach our 42% reduction target, further 
initiatives are planned, including the electrification of our fleet, and green electricity 
projects.

Towards our goal to assess all high-risk suppliers for their sustainability management by a 
third-party until 2027, the company has improved the assessment rate from 10% in the 
prior reporting period to 18.7% in the financial year 2021/2022. Further, we have seen a 
slight improvement in diversity and inclusion objectives, with female representation on 
management level at 20% (previous year: 19%).
Our sustainability performance continues to be acknowledged by external parties. 
dormakaba was named as one of the most climate-conscious companies in Switzerland in 
a recent ranking by BILANZ, Le Temps and Statista. The ranking acknowledges our 
emissions reduction efforts and with it, our contribution to a low-carbon economy. In 
addition, our MSCI rating improved from A to AA in the reporting period.

All other members of the Board of Directors will stand for re-election for another one-year 
term of office. This includes Riet Cadonau as Chairman, who has announced that he will 
step down from his role latest by the Annual General Meeting in October 2023.
Business outlook
The current business environment is characterized by uncertainties and lack of visibility. 
Geopolitical risks have further increased in the last months particularly in Asia and Europe. 
Spillover effects of the war in Ukraine could lead to a sudden stop of European gas imports 
from Russia and result in an energy crisis. Further, higher interest rates of the central banks 
to fight rising inflation might impact general economic growth including new construction

activities. And finally, renewed Covid-19 outbreaks and lockdowns might suppress growth 
and further deteriorate global supply chains going forward.
Due to the aforementioned lack of visibility and as geopolitical and macroeconomic risks 
increase, dormakaba’s outlook applies to the first half of 2022/23. The company will 
continue to carefully assess the economic situation in the next months and will update its 
guidance for the financial year 2022/23 with its half year results.
Based on a healthy order intake and backlog at the end of 2021/22, dormakaba expects a 
good start in the financial year 2022/23. For the first half-year of 2022/23, the company 
expects organic growth slightly above the mid-term target range of annually 3 - 5%. 
Expecting a sequential improvement on the 2021/22 second half-year performance 
excluding the dilutive effect of the divested Mesker business, the company expects an 
adjusted EBITDA margin of around 13% in the first half of financial year 2022/23.
Independent from macroeconomic conditions dormakaba will continue to focus on the 
execution of its Shape4Growth initiatives which includes both growth and cost 
management measures such as pricing and expense management.
Thanks
On behalf of all members of the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee, we 
would like to express our heartfelt thanks to our employees. We are proud of their 
dedication and tireless efforts in this challenging market environment. We are even more 
grateful to our customers, for whom we were once again their partner of choice in the past 
year. A significant increase in sales year-over-year demonstrates this loyalty.
And we thank you, our valued shareholders, for trusting us to create further value by 
implementing our strategy in the years to come.
Yours sincerely,

Region Americas
Region Americas is comprised of the former segment Access Solutions AMER (AS AMER). 
All figures were consolidated according to the new operating model. To ensure 
comparability, dormakaba will disclose the comparable figures of the former operating 
model in the 
 for the full financial year 
2021/22.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Region Americas achieved total sales of CHF 744.7 million in the financial year 2021/22 
(previous year: CHF 672.0 million). Organic sales growth was at 8.3%, with accelerating 
growth in the second half. Growth was driven by recovery in the US commercial 
construction market, particularly in renovation and replacement, Latin America strength, 
market share gains, and price realization that roughly equaled the volume contribution.
In the period under review, growth was broad-based across all Product Clusters, with 
double-digit growth in parts of the core business including Services and Lodging Systems as 
well as in Door Hardware and Mechanical Key Systems. The Lodging business started to 
recover in 2021/22 due to retrofit projects in hospitality and strong sales growth in multi-
housing, where dormakaba gained market share. Entrance Systems and Electronic Access 
& Data, which are core business, as well as Safe Locks, experienced mid-single digit growth. 
Safe Locks continue to be well adopted within the fast-growing crypto-currency ATM 
market. Nevertheless, the operating environment was challenging due to supply chain and 
labor shortages and continuing freight delays. Electronic Access & Data was unfavorably 
impacted by the scarcity of electronic components for access control hardware offerings.
Adjusted EBITDA increased to CHF 132.8 million (previous year: CHF 129.8 million) with an 
adjusted EBITDA margin of 17.8% (previous year: 19.3%). The margin was impacted by 
higher raw material and freight costs as well as labor cost inflation and a negative product 
mix, which more than offset higher volumes and sales price increases. In particular, inbound 
and outbound freight increases could not be offset in the short term by price increases. In 
addition, the scarcity of electronic components meant that high-margin orders for 
Electronic Access & Data products could not be fully satisfied, which had a temporary 
impact on profitability in the second half of 2021/22. Finally, sales in the high-margin high-
security government Safe Locks business were lower due to US government spending.
From 1 January 2022, dormakaba started implementing its new strategy Shape4Growth, 
which includes a turnaround plan for the Region as well as an annual growth target of 4 to 
6% and an increase in the adjusted EBITDA margin by 400 to 500 basis points over the 
coming three years. In support of this effort, sales excellence programs continue to drive 
revenue growth, a pricing initiative is underway, and, as announced, the hollow metal door 
business (Mesker) was divested. The Mesker transaction closed on 21 June 2022, allowing 
the management to focus on dormakaba’s core access solutions offering in the Region, an 
important step in the turnaround of the Americas business. In the financial year 2021/22, 
Mesker had a negative effect of 210 basis points (previous year: 240 basis points) on the 
Regions’s adjusted EBITDA margin.
For financial year 2022/23, the Region Americas expects continued organic growth based on 
healthy order intake, a strong order book, and continued pricing traction. Growth will be 
supported by several contract wins, including awards to provide the comprehensive access 
control solution for a 3,800-room, new construction, mixed-use property development in 
Las Vegas; the replacement of a military residential access system in Hawaii; projects for 
airport security solutions for major international airports in Brazil and the US; and 
continued wins in the sports and entertainment access market.
However, visibility continues to be limited due to the continued electronics supply chain 
constraints, inflationary pressure, and the impact of a potential deterioration in the 
macroeconomic environment. The Region will continue to increase sales prices to strive to 
offset higher raw material, freight, and labor costs.
Future growth will be driven by innovative products and solutions, including EntriWorX, the 
architectural project planning and specification writing platform, that was previewed to

Region Asia Pacific
Region Asia Pacific is comprised of the former segment Access Solutions Asia Pacific (AS 
APAC) and the Market Middle East which used to be a part of the former segment Access 
Solution Europe Middle East & Africa (AS EMEA). All figures were consolidated according to 
the new operating model. To ensure comparability, dormakaba will disclose the comparable 
figures of the former operating model in the 
 for the full financial year 2021/22.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial 
Statements
Region Asia Pacific (including Middle East) achieved total sales of CHF 574.0 million in the 
financial year 2021/22 compared to CHF 462.1 million in the previous year. Organic sales 
grew by 11.3% year-on-year. Growth was supported by projects such as hotels and hospitals 
in Greater China and Southeast Asia, convention centers in India, government and 
commercial projects in the Middle East, and a major residential project in Sydney with the 
resivo cloud-based access control system and complete door hardware, mechanical key and 
entrance systems packages.  
The first half of 2021/22 experienced better growth compared to the second half due to 
some catch-up demand compared to the previous year when the industry was faced with 
even more Covid-19-related project delays. Business continued to be impacted by the 
pandemic particularly affecting the economy in China, with further regional lockdowns and 
delays in re-opening offices and borders.
All major Markets contributed to growth. India, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East posted 
strong double-digit growth, while the remaining Markets Greater China and Pacific also 
contributed to growth despite the negative impact from lockdowns. Continued good 
growth momentum came from the business with touchless access solutions; for example, 
sales for touchless solutions in Hong Kong increased by around 50% in 2021/22 versus the 
previous year. And there was strong double-digit growth in Door Hardware, Entrance 
Systems, Lodging Systems, and Mechanical Key Systems. Growth for commercial solutions 
in Greater China such as in Lodging Systems overcompensated for the negative effects of 
the lockdowns as well as some weakness in the residential market.
Adjusted EBITDA increased to CHF 108.7 million (previous year: CHF 85.4 million), with an 
adjusted EBITDA margin of 18.9% (previous year: 18.5%). The slightly higher margin was 
supported by good volume growth that overcompensated a negative product mix resulting 
from stronger sales in the lower margin OEM business for the US market (Wah Yuet) and 
by some low-gross-margin projects in India and Southeast Asia. The Region was able to 
increase sales prices in line with raw material prices, reflecting a slightly higher gross margin 
in the second half versus the first half of the year.
Region Asia Pacific expects moderate growth in the financial year 2022/23. This is due to a 
strong comparable base and to limited visibility as business in China and other countries 
might continue to be impacted by the Covid pandemic.
Asia Pacific will continue to increase sales prices where necessary to offset cost inflation. 
Organic growth will be bolstered by a good project pipeline in the commercial, healthcare, 
government, residential, and hospitality sectors.
As of 12 January 2022, the Region is being led by a new President, Andy Jones. Andy and his 
team have started to execute the new strategy Shape4Growth to accelerate profitable 
growth. This includes a focus on core verticals and the Region’s core countries India, China, 
and Australia. Growth in Australia will continue to be supported by the acquisition of 
Australian Reliance Doors and Best Doors Australia Groups (RELBDA, 31 August 2021). The 
country organization already realized initial synergies and generated a strong order intake 
by selling RELBDA products combined with digital door lock technology from dormakaba.

Region Europe & Africa
Region Europe & Africa is comprised of the former segments AS EMEA and AS DACH 
excluding the Market Middle East. All figures were consolidated according to the new 
operating model. To ensure comparability, dormakaba will disclose the comparable figures 
of the former operating model in the 
 for 
the full financial year 2021/22.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Region Europe & Africa achieved total sales of CHF 1,144.5 million in the financial year 
2021/22 compared to CHF 1,105.8 million during the same period of the previous year.
Organic sales grew by 5.9% compared to the previous year despite supply chain constraints 
and scarcity of electronic components, the impact of the war in Ukraine, and project delays 
due to external construction site delays (labor and supply chain constraints of other 
materials) that limited overall growth potential.
All Markets experienced solid growth. Market CEERT (Central Eastern Europe, Russia, and 
Turkey) delivered double-digit growth despite negative growth in Russia and Ukraine. There 
was high single-digit growth in Germany and Austria, as well as in the UK, Benelux, 
Scandinavia, and Market South. Scandinavia continued to benefit from the successful 
turnaround in Norway with both stronger growth and higher profitability as well as strong 
Entrance Systems sales growth in Sweden. South benefited from strong growth in product 
and service sales. All major Markets continue to report healthy order intakes.
All Product Clusters showed solid sales growth driven by double-digit growth for Door 
Hardware and automatic doors whereas growth in Electronic Access & Data, despite 
continued strong order intake was limited by the shortage of electronic components, 
display boards and chips.
Adjusted EBITDA increased by 1.2% to CHF 235.9 million compared to the previous year, 
which represents an adjusted EBITDA margin of 20.6% (previous year: 21.1%). The adjusted 
EBITDA margin gained from higher sales volumes, price increases, operational efficiencies 
and effective cost management. However, these favorable impacts could not fully offset 
the inflationary pressure on labor, energy, freight and raw material, the margin dilution 
from lower high-margin Electronic Access & Data sales as well as labor shortage that 
caused higher reliance on sub-contractors. The impact of inflationary pressure was more 
pronounced in the second half of the year, especially following the impact of the war in 
Ukraine and with the timing discrepancy between price realization and cost increases.
Region Europe & Africa expects continued growth in 2022/23 based on a strong order book 
and a solid project pipeline across major markets, such as major contracts with Avinor to 
deliver self-boarding gates, one-way corridors and related services for all Norwegian 
airports, and the REWE Group in Austria, the national supermarket chain.
Growth continues to be supported by the acquisition of Fermatic (France), which was 
completed in October 2021 and substantially strengthened the Services business footprint 
in France. The Region will continue to expand its Services footprint both through organic as 
well as inorganic growth. A recent example is the acquisition of Alldoorco (Holland) in 
August 2022, a company specialized in the maintenance, repair, and new installation of 
industrial door systems. The acquisition will strengthen the Region’s core business in the 
important Dutch market.
Europe & Africa will continue to focus on profitable growth and in line with the 
Shape4Growth strategic focus on customer-centricity, leadership in core countries and core 
products, sales excellence, price realization, and consolidation of smaller countries into 
regional structures as well as operational efficiency gains.
As part of pricing excellence, there will be a particular focus on continued sales price 
realization to strive to compensate for higher raw material, energy, labor, and freight costs.

In addition, the new strategy targets higher R&D productivity by focusing on our global core 
offering to develop open, interoperable platform solutions. An example of such an 
innovative offering is EntriWorX a solution that supports smart planning processes for 
buildings, simple installation of door solutions, and secure, smooth operation of these 
applications. EntriWorX, was launched in April 2021 and the business could already gain 
first major projects. Growth will be supported by a strategic partnership with Schüco, one 
of Europe’s market leaders in windows, doors, facades, and smart buildings. Under the 
partnership agreement, dormakaba and Schüco will work together to accelerate strategic 
development projects in digitalization and access control.

Key & Wall Solutions
Key & Wall Solutions generated total sales of CHF 364.1 million in the financial year 2021/22 
compared to CHF 344.8 million in the previous year. Organic growth accelerated during the 
period under review, yielding 5.7% for the full year.
The two Business Units Key Systems and Movable Walls recorded very different financial 
performances for the reporting period. Business Unit Key Systems posted 10.4% organic 
sales growth due to good demand in all its three business lines Keys, Key Cutting Machines, 
and Automotive Solutions. India, Southeast Asia, and North America saw double-digit sales 
growth. Europe & Middle East as well as Latin America posted good growth, whereas sales 
in China were impacted by Covid lockdowns. The increased organic sales were due to good 
volume growth supported by the low baseline from the previous year, when demand in 
major markets was negatively impacted by the pandemic. Additionally, sales price increases 
contributed to organic growth.
Sales for Business Unit Movable Walls recovered during the second half of 2021/22 with 
high single-digit growth in the final quarter. The improvement was driven by the business 
starting to convert part of its Covid-related project backlog into sales. In addition, the 
business benefited from higher sales prices and from market share gains in the USA due to 
changes in the competitive landscape in the second half year. However, due to a weak first 
half, organic growth for the full financial year was still below the previous year at -0.6% 
(half-year 2021/22: -6.7%).
Adjusted EBITDA for Key & Wall Solutions was below the previous year but improved during 
the year as well, with CHF 50.9 million for the full financial year 2021/22, compared to 
CHF 22.3 million for the first half of 2021/22 (-7.1% respectively -16.2% compared to the 
previous year). The adjusted EBITDA margin for the full year 2021/22 was at 14.0% 
(previous year: 15.9%).
Business Unit Key Systems was able to offset higher raw material and freight costs with 
higher sales prices, thus improving its adjusted EBITDA margin to 15.6% (previous year: 
15.1%).
The adjusted EBITDA margin at Business Unit Movable Walls was impacted by lower sales 
volumes, a negative mix effect due to lower sales from the Skyfold business, as well as 
higher raw material and freight costs. As a result, it went down to 11.6% from the previous 
year’s 16.9%. The project-driven business faces headwind due to contract durations and a 
more pronounced time gap between raw material price increases and higher sales prices. 
Going forward, the business expects an improvement due to higher sales prices for new 
projects, which will contribute to higher gross margins.
Assuming no further major disruptions related to Covid-19 and no further deterioration of 
the supply chain, Key & Wall Solutions expects continued organic sales growth in 2022/23 
based on a good order intake and backlog. The order book of Movable Walls in particular is 
promising, with the order backlog in Europe and the Americas still at record level; and also 
Key Systems sees good demand in major regions. In addition, demand will be driven by the 
launch of new innovative solutions. Recent examples are the launch of RW5 and Smart 
Aerial plus, the new connected devices for cloning of automotive keys integrated in our 
digital ecosystem named MyKeysPro.
Both Business Units will continue to focus on price realization to offset higher energy, raw 
material, and freight costs as well as labor cost inflation. Additionally, the segment expects 
to benefit from the initiatives it is currently taking in procurement and sales excellence as 
part of the new strategy Shape4Growth.

Financial performance
Overview
Financial year 2021/22 was characterized by strong organic growth. Growth was most 
pronounced in the Regions Asia Pacific and Americas but also good in Region Europe & 
Africa. In Key & Wall Solutions, growth picked up in the second half-year as Movable Walls 
started to convert part of its Covid-related project backlog into sales. External headwinds 
like supply chain constraints and the continued impact of the Covid pandemic, particularly 
in Asia, prevented an even better growth. External headwinds also had an impact on the 
adjusted EBITDA margin. While dormakaba was able to compensate for most of these 
headwinds in the first half of 2021/22, the accelerated inflation in the second half due to 
the war in Ukraine could only partly be offset with price realizations in the short term. The 
margin was further impacted by supply chain challenges as orders for high-margin 
electronic products could not be processed due to the ongoing component shortage.
dormakaba increased net sales by 10.3% to CHF 2,756.9 million in 2021/22 (previous year: 
CHF 2,499.7 million); organic sales increased by 7.7%. Adjusted EBITDA increased by 2.8% to 
CHF 372.3 million (previous year: CHF 362.0 million), whereas the adjusted EBITDA margin 
at 13.5% was below the previous year’s level of 14.5%. Net profit at CHF 122.5 million 
(previous year CHF 193.3 million) was impacted by the divestment of the Mesker business in 
mid-June 2022 (CHF 61.4 million), mainly due to the recycling of goodwill (for more 
information, please see 
) as well as by 
expenses linked to the implementation of the new strategy Shape4Growth.
Consolidated Financial Statement, chapter 4.3
From 1 January 2022 onwards, dormakaba started to implement its Shape4Growth that 
was announced on 15 November 2021. Shape4Growth will enable dormakaba to accelerate 
profitable growth by focusing on the company’s core businesses in commercial access 
solutions, as well as on core markets and customer-centricity.
The implementation of Shape4Growth includes the transition into a new operating model, 
which has changed the organizational setup as well as financial reporting going forward. A 
detailed description of the new structure can be found in the Notes to the 
 for the financial year 2021/22.
Consolidated 
Financial Statements
On 1  January 2022, dormakaba shifted its operating model to three customer-centric 
Regions and sales organizations for Access Solutions – Americas, Asia Pacific, and Europe & 
Africa. The previous segments AS DACH and AS EMEA were merged accordingly, the 
Market Middle East was consolidated into Asia Pacific. In addition, three global functions 
Marketing & Products, Operations, and Product Development were introduced to 
accelerate the deployment of products and solutions across all Regions. Key & Wall 
Solutions remains unchanged as a self-contained global business.
Sales
dormakaba increased net sales by 10.3% to CHF 2,756.9 million in 2021/22 (previous year: 
CHF 2,499.7 million). Organic sales growth contributed most with 7.7% (thereof 3.5% 
pricing) to the overall sales increase. In addition, portfolio adjustments (inorganic growth) 
added 2.8% to higher net sales, and currency translation effects were almost flat with a 
contribution of  -0.1%.
Profitability
Adjusted EBITDA increased by 2.8% and amounted to CHF 372.3 million (previous year: CHF 
362.0 million). It includes a positive currency translation effect of CHF 3.0 million as well as 
a positive effect from acquisitions and divestments of CHF 9.4 million.
The gross margin for the reporting period was at 40.1% and thus below previous year’s level 
of 41.8% due to the impact of higher raw material, freight, energy and labor costs.
Sales, marketing, and general administration costs were impacted by the investments into 
the new strategy as well as by increased sales and marketing activities, and at CHF 745.9

million were above previous year’s level of CHF 677.0 but flat as a percentage of sales 
(27.1%).
The adjusted EBITDA margin was 13.5% (previous year: 14.5%). There was a positive margin 
contribution due to higher sales volumes, increased sales prices, and improvements in 
operational efficiency. However, these effects were more than offset by inflation, including 
higher raw material, freight, labor and energy costs. The impact of inflationary pressure 
was more pronounced in the second half of the year, in particular, as the accelerated 
inflation due to the war in Ukraine could not be offset by short-term price increases. On 
top, there was a negative mix effect due to the shortage of electronic components that 
impacted the high-margin electronic business such as Electronic Access & Data.
The Mesker business had a negative impact on the adjusted Group EBITDA margin of 50 
basis points for 2021/22; the business was divested on 21 June 2022. The adjusted EBITDA 
margin would have been at 14.0% if Mesker had been accounted as discontinued 
operations.
Items affecting comparability of CHF -88.6 million on EBIT (previous year: CHF -9.3 million) 
were mainly related to the divestment of the Mesker business and the development and 
implementation of the new Shape4Growth strategy. These included a CHF 55.2 million loss 
on divestment of businesses (previous year: CHF 0.3 million), CHF 32.1 million in 
reorganization and restructuring expenses (previous year: CHF 14.5 million), and CHF 0.3 
million in other exceptional items (previous year: CHF –5.9 million).
EBIT decreased by CHF 69.5 million to CHF 204.8 million (previous year: CHF 274.3 million), 
and the EBIT margin was at 7.4% compared to 11.0% in the previous year.
Performance of Regions and Key & Wall Solutions
dormakaba experienced good demand in most of its markets with good order intakes and 
order backlogs. Despite strong organic growth there were still adverse effects that 
prevented even better growth, like the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as labor 
shortages and a scarcity of electronic components, that adversely affected the finalization 
of construction projects.
Organic sales in 
 (North and South America) increased by 8.3% in the 
financial year 2021/22 compared to the previous year. Growth was driven by the continued 
recovery in the US commercial construction market, particularly in renovation and 
replacement, by good growth in hospitality, and by market share gains. The adjusted 
EBITDA margin of 17.8% (previous year: 19.3%) was impacted by higher raw material and 
freight costs as well as labor cost inflation and a negative product mix, which more than 
offset higher volumes and sales price increases. As planned, the hollow metal door business 
(Mesker), which had a negative effect of 210 basis points (previous year: 240 basis points) 
on the Region’s adjusted EBITDA margin, was divested.
Region Americas
Organic sales in
 grew by 11.3% year-on-year. All major Markets 
contributed to growth. India, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East posted strong project, 
driven double-digit growth, while the remaining Markets Greater China and Pacific also 
contributed to growth despite the negative impact from lockdowns. The adjusted EBITDA 
margin was 18.9% (previous year: 18.5%). The slightly higher margin was supported by good 
volume growth that overcompensated a negative mix effect.
 Region Asia Pacific
Organic sales for 
grew by 5.9% year-on-year. All Markets 
experienced solid growth despite supply chain constraints and scarcity of electronic 
components, the war in Ukraine, as well as project delays due to external construction site 
delays. The adjusted EBITDA was 20.6% (previous year: 21.1%) as higher sales volumes, 
price increases, operational efficiency, and effective cost management could not fully offset 
the inflationary pressure and the margin dilution from lower high-margin Electronic Access 
& Data sales.

Organic sales in 
 grew by 5.7% year-on-year. There was strong organic 
growth for Business Unit Key Systems (10.4%). Organic sales for Business Unit Movable 
Walls were 0.6% lower than in the previous year due to delays in the release of orders and 
projects resulting from the limited availability of workers across the construction market; 
however, sales recovered during the second half of 2021/22, with high single-digit growth in 
the final quarter. The adjusted EBITDA margin was 14.0% (previous year: 15.9%) as 
Business Unit Key Systems was not able to fully offset the margin decline at Business Unit 
Movable Walls.
Key & Wall Solutions
Financial result, profit before taxes, and income taxes
The net financial result for the financial year 2021/22 amounted to CHF –30.9 (previous 
year: CHF –24.7 million). This is due to higher debt driven by acquisitions, net working 
capital investments and slightly higher interest rates in 2021/22.
The profit before taxes decreased to CHF 173.9 million (previous year: CHF 249.6 million). 
Income taxes for the financial year went down to CHF 51.4 million (previous year: CHF 56.3 
million). The effective income tax rate came to 29.6% and was above previous year (22.6%) 
mainly driven by the impact from divestments.
Net profit
dormakaba closed the financial year 2021/22 with a net profit of CHF 122.5 million (previous 
year: CHF 193.3 million). Excluding the effect of the divestment of the Mesker business 
(CHF 61.4 million) in June 2022 the underlying net profit was CHF 183.9 million, which 
represents a decrease of 4.9%.
The Board of Directors has decided to exclude the effect of the Mesker divestment in the 
dividend payout calculation. Based on an unchanged dividend policy of maintaining a 
minimum payout ratio of 50% of consolidated net profit after minority interests, the Board 
of Directors proposes that CHF 11.50 per share be paid out for financial year 2021/22 
(previous year: CHF 12.50). This corresponds to a payout ratio of 50.4%.
Cash flow and balance sheet
Cash flow from operations decreased to CHF 188.4 million (previous year: CHF 384.5 
million). The reduction on the previous year is due to an increase in net working capital 
driven by a rise in inventories due to higher volumes and higher raw material prices, build-up 
of safety stock for electronic components and certain other raw materials, higher goods in 
transit due to freight and supply chain challenges. The increase in accounts receivables were 
in line with top line growth.
Net cash from operating activities stood at CHF 127.3 million (previous year: CHF 313.5 
million), representing a low operating cash flow margin of 4.6% (previous year: 12.5%). Cash 
flow from investing activities of CHF –158.9 million (previous year: CHF –95.5 million) was 
driven by acquisitions totaling CHF 92.1 million (previous year: CHF 18.6 million). Cash flow 
from financing activities amounted to CHF -0.4 million (previous year: CHF -231.9 million).
As a result, the free cash flow figure of CHF –31.6 million was below the previous yearʼs 
(CHF 218.0 million).
As of 30 June 2022, total assets stand at CHF 1,907.2 million. Within current assets, cash 
and cash equivalents amount to CHF 104.5 million, while inventories stand at CHF 537.0 
million (28.2% of total assets; previous year 24.1%); trade receivables increased to CHF 
482.8 million (25.3% of total assets; previous year 22.7%). Non-current assets consist mainly 
of property, plant, and equipment worth CHF 409.9 million (21.5% of total assets; previous 
year 23.2%).
Total liabilities come to CHF 1,711.3 million (89.7% of total assets; previous year: 85.8%), of 
which CHF 320.2 million is accounted for by the corporate bond due in October 2025. The 
bond maturing in October 2021 was refinanced by drawings under the syndicated credit

facility amounting to CHF 525 million with options to extend by another two years and to 
increase the facility by CHF 200 million.
The planned capital market take out in Spring 2022 was cancelled due to the war in 
Ukraine. To ensure the usual financial flexibility under the syndicated credit facility, 
dormakaba signed in June 2022 a twelve month CHF 300 million “bridge to bond” credit 
facility with a major Swiss bank..
The financial debt profile will be reviewed for diversification potential in the near future 
both in terms of maturities and instruments. Net financial debt increased by CHF 199.3 
million to CHF 708.1 million as of 30 June 2022 (previous year: CHF 508.8 million). Financial 
leverage, defined as net debt relative to adjusted EBITDA, was 1.9x (30 June 2021: 1.4x net 
debt/adjusted EBITDA). The company fully complies with the covenant of the syndicated 
credit facility.
As of 30 June 2022, the company’s equity stands at CHF 195.9 million, which represents an 
equity ratio of 10.3% (previous year: CHF 264.9 million or 14.2%). The change in equity is 
mainly due to acquisition-related goodwill, which has been entirely offset against equity.
Currency effects
In the financial year 2021/22, the average euro exchange rate against the Swiss franc 
decreased by 3.2% year-on-year from 1.085 to 1.050. The average Swiss franc exchange 
against the US dollar rose by 2.4% from 0.910 to 0.932. Compared to previous years, most 
other major currencies appreciated against the Swiss franc, including the Canadian dollar 
by 3.7%, the British pound by 1.2%, and the Chinese renminbi by 5.0%. Currency translation 
had a negative impact of CHF 3.0 million on net sales and a positive impact of CHF 3.0 
million on adjusted EBITDA.

to fully networked electronic and cloud-based access solutions – along with physical access 
and automatic door systems, as well as a comprehensive range of door hinges, fittings, and 
door closers. The access solution business is complemented by products for time and 
enterprise data recording and high-security locks. The company is also a market leader for 
key blanks, key cutting machines, and automotive solutions such as transponder keys and

leadership anticipates and fulfills customer needs through continuous technological 
advancement, creating state-of-the-art solutions that add value for customers and end 
users alike.
dormakaba is active in over 130 countries and is present in all relevant markets through 
production sites, distribution and service offices, and collaboration with local partners.
Goals and strategies
As a publicly listed company, dormakaba’s fundamental goal is to increase its long-term 
enterprise value across industry cycles and economic fluctuations. It is assisted in this by a 
strong Pool Shareholder Group that ensures the long-term orientation of its strategy. 
Beyond creating shareholder value, the company’s strategy sustains the interests of other 
stakeholders, most importantly its customers, partners as well as employees and 
associates. A customer-centric approach – backed by the strong positioning of 
dormakaba’s products, solutions, and services through production facilities coordinated by 
the Group and distribution channels in all key industry markets – provides a firm foundation 
for global growth.
In November 2021, the new corporate growth strategy, Shape4Growth, was presented to 
the public and its implementation was started at the beginning of January 2022. 
Shape4Growth will accelerate profitable growth through a focus on core businesses, core 
markets, and customer-centricity, enabled by enhancements in operational excellence and 
scale, capital deployment, and culture.
This growth strategy creates clear portfolio segmentation concentrated on dormakaba’s 
global core businesses: Access Automation Solutions (AAS; formerly Entrance Systems), 
Access Control Solutions (ACS; formerly Electronic Access & Data, Lodging Systems), 
Access Hardware Solutions (AHS)  and Services. These businesses are less exposed to 
economic and market fluctuations and offer the highest growth and margin potential. 
Shape4Growth also emphasizes the markets where dormakaba has established the 
strongest position and where its global core businesses can expand the most.

Sustainability reporting
To respond to the needs and expectations of society, customers, and employees, 
dormakaba put sustainability at the core of the company’s vision, which underlines a long-
term commitment to shaping a more sustainable industry and future.
As part of its new corporate strategy, dormakaba reassessed its material topics for 
sustainability. By monitoring global trends and engaging with key stakeholders in 
constructive dialogues, ten topics were identified, that are the most relevant for 
stakeholders and for those where the company has the highest impact on sustainable 
development. The new sustainability framework is in line with the most material issues, 
that are aligned to three Pillars: People, Planet and Partnerships. The company is 
committed to fostering sustainable development along the entire value chain in line with its 
economic, environmental, and social responsibilities toward current and future generations.
Detailed information on the sustainability framework, measures, and progress can be 
found in the dormakaba

Research and development
The innovative strength of dormakaba, resulting in the development of new products, 
solutions, and services, are key to the company's sustainable profitable growth, as 
exemplified by a continuous investment of around 4% of sales in R&D over the past years.
With the Shape4Growth strategy, the company has also restructured its R&D activities. 
Under the former operating model, Research and (Product) Development were coordinated 
across all regions until the end of the first half of the financial year 2021/22. With the 
change in the operating model, all R&D and product development efforts are now bundled 
in one global function. This will lead to a product portfolio that relies on common platforms 
for both hardware and software in order to decrease time-to-market while increasing 
efficiency. The company will continue to drive digital transformation by providing best-in-
class services to cover the full life cycle of the offerings. i.e. from planning to installation 
and service. Further, dormakaba has established a cyber-security governance model to 
cope with the threats to its digital product offering.
With the new strategy cycle, dormakaba is embedding sustainability at the core of its 
product development, actively streamling the product portfolio, and pursuing the 
elimination of technical inefficiencies. To foster collaboration across teams and to manage 
the challenge to provide simplicity and ease-of-use to our customers, dormakaba continues 
to apply agile frameworks, namely SAFe for enterprises, along with fostering an agile 
mindset across the Group.

Fundamental information about dormakaba
In recent years, the product portfolio of dormakaba has increasingly embraced electronics, 
connectivity, and digital solutions. The continued investment in product innovation and 
digitization has positioned the company well to offer its customers attractive solutions for 
their emerging demands in this new environment. The pandemic has accelerated the

and development and comprised processes, products, solutions, and services alike. It creates 
opportunities for new business models, market positioning, and value streams for 
dormakaba and delivers sustainable solutions through leading innovation.
In the past two financial years, dormakaba has submitted 136 technical patent families and 
eight design patents to the respective authorities. dormakaba believes in the growing 
importance of data driven ecosystems and solutions that satisfy the future needs of 
customers and markets. Therefore, the company engages in many partnerships to grow the 
potential of verticals such as airports, healthcare, lodging, and multi-housing. Currently, 
over 700 employees at 16 locations worldwide contribute to innovation and product 
development within the Group.
Being at the forefront of the digital transformation of the access and building technology 
industry results in new product launches year-over-year. In the financial year 2021/22 these

production facilities and systems, its processes, and its information technology systems. 
dormakaba will also allocate additional funds to digital transformation and to becoming 
the partner of choice when it comes to sustainability in the coming years. The company is 
convinced that these investments are vital to further shape the competitive position of the 
company and to develop new products and solutions to address market opportunities and 
trends.
Macroeconomic and sector-specific conditions
dormakaba operated in a challenging business environment in the financial year 2021/22. 
On the positive side, there was good demand in all regions and the company closed the year 
with a good order intake and backlog. This was also reflected in the strong organic growth 
of 7.7% for the financial year 2021/22.
Nevertheless, the macroeconomic environment was affected by various factors. There were 
still pandemic-related lockdowns in several countries, which had an impact particularly in 
China due to its zero-Covid strategy. Further, there were supply chain issues, affecting in 
particular high-margin electronic products where orders could not be processed due to the 
component shortage. On top of that, the completion of construction projects was affected

by shortages in labor and building materials in general, which caused delays especially in the 
Project and Services business.
Supply chain disruptions and inflationary trends in particular were unexpectedly 
exacerbated from March onwards by the war in Ukraine. dormakaba reacted swiftly and 
announced additional sales price increases to offset inflation. However, since there is 
always a gap between a sharp increase in input costs and sales price realization, the gross 
and EBITDA margins in the second half of 2021/22 were below the level of the first half and 
the overall adjusted EBITDA margin was below last year's level.
The impacts of the war in Ukraine and the accelerated inflation were also reflected in GDP 
development. In the first and second quarters of the financial year 2021/22, GDP in the G20 
countries recorded quarter-on-quarter growth of 1.9% and 1.3%, respectively (OECD, 2022). 
In the third quarter of the financial year 2021/22, the impact of geopolitical tensions 
became evident as GDP growth in major developed and emerging economies contracted to 
0.7% (OECD, 2022).

Non-financial performance indicators
For the new strategy cycle, a new set of non-financial performance indicators have been 
defined and were introduced during dormakaba’s Capital Markets Day in November 2021. 
These indicators have a strategic focus  and will continuously be tracked by dormakaba, but 
dormakaba is not being operated by them. The main non-financial performance indicators 
are the following:
Customers and products
The dormakaba brand stands for its high-quality products. Product quality and customer 
satisfaction are therefore crucial and must remain a focus at all stages along the entire 
value chain. Customer satisfaction is addressed through customer dialog as well as through 
local surveys. Customers usually consider the expanded offering from a single source as a 
benefit.
Net Promoter Score
Customers are at the core of every place that matters at dormakaba. The NPS (Net 
Promoter Score) is a well-known metric that measures customer loyalty and satisfaction 
through one simple KPI. It measures the likelihood of a customer recommending 
dormakaba and it serves as an important signal of overall customer satisfaction for the 
company. The NPS will be collected regularly on an international scale by customer surveys 
and monitored by the management going forward.
Innovation Power:Market Success of New Products
This is a key metric that allows dormakaba to understand the innovation activity in relation 
to overall sales. This metric provides the company with transparency of how successful 
innovations are in the relevant markets and therefore, how R&D efforts are driving the 
overall success of the Group. Going forward, the implementation of further alternative KPIs 
will help to better understand satisfaction on a more granular and specific interaction level. 
The objective will be to ensure that processes are well aligned to customer needs, and it will 
provide dormakaba with data that reveals where changes to those processes may be 
needed.
Human resources
Employees are crucial to the success of dormakaba. Therefore, the company strives to 
shape a work environment that enables professional growth and engagement. By fostering 
the right environment and developing the employees of dormakaba, the company will be 
able to become more customer centric and achieve a high-performance culture. To support 
this, the focus is on the measurement of the two enablers Employee Engagement Index

and Diversity & Inclusion, as they help to identify the success of the transformation towards 
a customer-centric and performance-orientated work culture that includes accountability 
and ownership.
To measure dormakaba’s Employee Engagement Index, dormakaba conducts periodic 
global engagement surveys. The results of these surveys are used to not only measure, but 
also to develop action plans to improve employee engagement. To support the change 
coming with the new strategy Shape4Growth, dormakaba conducted a Pulse Check 
engagement survey to understand how employees are perceiving the change and if the 
engagement levels have changed from previous engagement surveys. The first Pulse Check 
was conducted in March 2022 for 10% of the employee population and the overall 
engagement results were favorable. For those engagement elements where the 
engagement could be improved, management teams are putting plans in place to make 
improvements.
dormakaba also focuses on fostering an inclusive culture and diverse workforce, and in 
providing equal opportunities for all employees. The company is committed to gender 
diversity and to supporting minorities within the organization. dormakaba has 
communicated several targets to increase the gender balance within the management 
teams. The two main targets to be achieved by 2027 are: (1) One in three managers are 
women; (2) 25% women in succession planning for senior management positions. To 
confirm the commitment, CEO Jim-Heng Lee signed the WEP (UN Women´s 
Empowerment Principles). More information on the targets and initiatives can be found in 
the Sustainability Report.
dormakaba provides a variety of learning and development programs to employees, 
including leadership programs and technical training. During the Covid-19 pandemic, many 
of the training programs were hosted virtually to ensure that training could still be provided 
to employees.
dormakaba also provided employees with information material on how to work effectively 
from home, how to adapt to the change in working environment and manage stress. For 
managers, information was provided on how to manage a virtual team. This material was 
translated into 15 languages.
Compliance and Human Rights
When conducting its business, it is a matter of course for dormakaba to comply not only 
with applicable law and legal regulations at the local, national, and international level but 
also with internal company directives at all its locations. This applies to internal processes 
as well as to relations with external partners, including customers, authorities, and 
suppliers. To live up to its responsibilities in these areas, dormakaba has developed 
measures and processes to ensure its responsibilities are met and to prevent abuse. These 
measures and processes are continuously improved and developed further. The company 
sets binding rules in its Group-wide Code of Conduct that is available to employees on the 
Group Intranet in various languages and to external stakeholders on the dormakaba 
website. Furthermore, the segments ensure that all dormakaba employees participate in 
the mandatory Code of Conduct trainings. The Code and additional directives form an 
important foundation for the sustained economic success of dormakaba all over the world.
dormakaba acknowledges its responsibility to respect human rights as outlined in the 
 and the 
 (see paragraph on the supply chain below).

Supplier Code of Conduct
dormakaba published its Statement of Commitment on Human Rights in line with

2. Salient human rights issues of dormakaba, and
3. The company’s Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD) framework describing the 
appropriate policies and processes to implement its Human Rights commitment.

Based on the Human Rights-related risks and impacts identified, dormakaba will continue 
to develop prevention and mitigation measures integrated into company operations, 
training programs, policies, and management systems. Human rights-related risks 
identification and mitigation are a central part of supplier due diligence as well. This will be 
achieved through the implementation of a human rights roadmap approved by the 
Executive Committee (EC) in the context of the HRDD process development.
In the financial year 2021/22, a key focus has been to further assess the salient issues of 
child labor through the continuation of a supply chain traceability project in collaboration 
with suppliers. In addition, Responsible Labor and Zero Recruitment Fees policies have been 
rolled out. Further information on human rights can be found in the Sustainability Report 
2021/22.
Environment
dormakaba uses resources in the manufacture of its products and generates waste and 
emissions. Environmental issues are therefore a key aspect of sustainability and are 
relevant along the entire value chain. An advanced policy laying out business requirements 
as regards environmental management was published in the financial year 2021/22. A 
detailed overview of the company’s sustainability work and the most important 
benchmarks, including greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption, water consumption, 
and waste management, can be found in the Sustainability Report 2021/22.
Supply chain
dormakaba pursues a comprehensive and consistent procurement policy. Based on a 
detailed analysis of all expenditures, goods and services are grouped into material 
categories according to their characteristics. By means of this analysis, all products and 
quantities as well as the complete supplier portfolio are identified and then classified into 
either global, regional, or local categories.
The process to approve a supplier is in accordance with DIN and ISO requirements, as are 
the supplier evaluation and assessment processes.
dormakaba carries out on-site quality audits via a standard audit questionnaire to examine 
suppliers’ quality management. Suppliers are selected for audits based on a risk 
assessment process that takes into account the potential risk from specific locations, 
products, and performance. This risk assessment results in a score ranking, indicating the 
frequency of auditing required for the relevant supplier.
In addition, the dormakaba 
 outlines minimum requirements with 
regards to human rights, fair working conditions, environmental responsibility, and business 
ethics, among others. To ensure that dormakaba’s suppliers contribute to social and 
environmental well-being, dormakaba focuses on three areas: identifying supply chain risks; 
supplier off-site sustainability assessments; and setting improvement plans. The risk 
assessment is based on risk indicators for materials compliance and geography for: (1) 
Energy and Emissions; (2) Effluents and Waste; (3) Occupational Health and Safety; (4) 
Materials; (5) Training and Education; (6) Freedom of Association; and (7) Human Rights. 
Around 2100 suppliers are included in the risk group. Thus far, the company has assessed 
the sustainability performance of approximately 18.7% of these suppliers in collaboration 
with the third-party assessment firm EcoVadis. Since the launch of this collaboration, 
improvement plans for 234 suppliers were requested because of the assessment results. 
Furthermore, 6 business relationships were terminated, and 2 suppliers were blocked from 
new business as a result of lack of participation and/or low sustainability performance. In 
order to continuously improve the assessment rate of the entire risk group, allocations for 
inviting 500 suppliers per year to participate have been made through to the financial year 
2026/27.

Opportunity and risk report
Opportunities
Opportunities from market trends
The market for security and access solutions is in transformation. Megatrends such as the 
rising need for security, urbanization, demographic change,  and increasing prosperity in 
emerging economies as well as new technological opportunities are driving demand but also 
require new approaches. Increasing digitalization of services, often cloud-based, is 
transforming our relationship with our physical surroundings. Patterns of work and travel 
have adapted to a “new normal” that is very unlike pre-pandemic life, and the need to 
reduce carbon emissions is becoming a global imperative. dormakaba intends to continue to 
invest significantly in innovation, product development, and sustainability to exploit the 
growth opportunities brought by these megatrends, and to achieve innovation leadership 
(see also the statements on Research and Development above).
Opportunities from industry consolidation
Opportunities also arise from the ongoing and anticipated consolidation of the industry in 
which dormakaba operates. Despite the consolidation that has already occurred, the 
market for security and access solutions remains highly fragmented: the three biggest 
companies in the industry together account for only about one third of market share. 
dormakaba plans to further strengthen its market position and will therefore continue to 
play an active role in industry consolidation.
Opportunities from market position
dormakaba is already a global leader in security and access solutions; its commitment to 
innovation and sustainability will help it maintain and improve that position as the industry 
consolidates. Its business is characterized by high resilience and barriers-to-entry: 
digitalization, country-specific regulation, complex system integration, and continuing 
after-sales service all contribute to customers’ need for a close and continuing partnership 
with their chosen supplier. As a trusted innovator, with a comprehensive solutions portfolio, 
broad and deep global market presence, and strong pricing power, dormakaba is well-
positioned to anticipate, influence, and participate in all significant developments in the 
building industry.
Opportunities from the “dormakaba” brand
The company’s brands are key assets in its business development as they play a significant 
role in creating customer loyalty and differentiation. The company’s main brand 
“dormakaba” is well-known and appreciated in the market for seamless flow and 
integrated access. It emerged from the combination of the renowned  brands Dorma and 
Kaba following the merger in 2015. In addition, segmentation through strong regional, local, 
and independent brands help the company to improve channel penetration and market 
reach. This is why the company’s brand portfolio, beside the main brand dormakaba 
includes constituent brands such as Best, Alvarado, Kilargo, Groom, Dorma Hüppe, 
Modernfold, Skyfold, Silca, and Ilco that are just as well-established in the market and 
inspire long-term customer loyalty. The streamlining of the company’s operational model 
introduced by the Shape4Growth strategy will enable the Group as a whole to gain optimal 
benefit from market segmentation while maintaining strategic focus and operational 
efficiency.
Risk policy, risk management, and risks at dormakaba
Risk policy
dormakaba manages a globally active business. All its business activities are conducted 
with the aim of securing economic success. However, these activities can also bring about 
risks. The overriding goal of the risk policy of dormakaba is to secure the future 
development of the Group, to achieve sustainable profitable growth, and thus to increase 
enterprise value. In the course of its business activities, dormakaba is exposed to the 
general risks inherent in any entrepreneurial operation, and these may impede or prevent 
the achievement of its goals. In this context, opportunities to be utilized to meet or exceed 
planned targets are analyzed to identify and assess the risks they bring about. In the course

of business, these risks are monitored and managed carefully, and their mitigation plans 
are continuously adapted to changes.
dormakaba always takes strategic and operational decisions on the basis of a systematic 
analysis and evaluation of the opportunities and risks relating to its assets, financial 
position, and earnings. It avoids risks that are assessed to be incalculable, unreasonably 
high, or existential.
Opportunities, as understood in the Group’s opportunity and risk policy, are chances to use 
events, developments, or active operations to achieve or exceed planned quantitative and 
qualitative objectives. Risks, as understood in the risk policy of dormakaba, are all those 
internal and external events and developments that could have a negative effect on the 
Group’s planned economic success. In addition to direct, quantitatively measurable risks, 
qualitative risks, such as reputational risks, are also taken into account.
Risk management
The overriding aim of dormakaba is to sustainably increase its enterprise value (see also, 
chapter Goals and Strategies above). Active risk management supports the company’s 
management in achieving this goal.
Opportunities and risks should be identified at an early stage and actively controlled. To do 
this, dormakaba has implemented a comprehensive risk management system.
a) Internal Control System based on Group accounting
In line with the Swiss Code of Obligations, dormakaba has implemented an Internal Control 
System (ICS) based on the consolidated (Group) accounting (in the following section 
“accounting”). The ICS ensures that business activities are correctly recorded, analyzed, 
evaluated, and transmitted to the external accounts.
The essential characteristics of the ICS with respect to accounting are:
• A clear organizational, business, controlling, and monitoring structure;
• Computer systems used for accounting are protected against unauthorized access;
• Internal regulations about the specific requirements are developed, implemented, and 
communicated;
• The departments and persons involved in accounting meet the requirements in terms 
of quantity and expertise;
• The ICS, as it relates to accounting, and the internal reporting systems ensure and 
continuously check the correctness and completeness of data in the accounting 
system; the Internal Audit department regularly conducts spot checks of the 
implemented processes and controls;
• The four-eyes principle has to be applied to all processes relevant to accounting, and 
the separation of functions has to be respected, both to the extent organizationally 
possible, which is subject to special audits;
• The BoD regularly deals with the main topics relevant to accounting, risk 
management, Internal Audit, the external audit mandate, and external audit 
priorities.
In addition, statutory and specific internal corporate guidelines and directives are used to 
ensure that accounting is consistent and proper. The application of clear and consistent 
accounting rules and a uniform consolidation software tool ensures consistent accounting 
throughout the Group in line with legal and statutory requirements as well as the chosen 
accounting framework Swiss GAAP FER.
Further information can be found in the Corporate Governance Report 2021/22.
b) Risk management system
Risk management is integrated into the regular business and decision-making processes, 
codified in internal rules and regulations, and made binding to all Group companies. It 
includes an impact-focused assessment of risks, implementation of appropriate risk 
mitigation measures, regular review of identified risks and measures, and transparent 
reporting of the risk situation. Responsibility for the definition and monitoring of risk 
management (“risk governance”) lies with the BoD, while the Audit Committee monitors

implementation. Responsibility for implementing and applying the risk management system 
rests with the EC and with line managers throughout the internal hierarchy.
The company’s risk management system distinguishes between operational and strategic 
risks:
• Operational risks are future events that could hurt the efficiency or effectiveness of 
business processes, or that could compromise compliance with regulations or 
reporting requirements in day-to-day business. Responsibility for identifying and 
controlling these risks lies with the heads of Regions and Global Functions.
• Strategic risks are future events that may compromise the long-term development of 
dormakaba and prevent it from reaching its strategic objectives. Reports about 
strategic risks from the Regions and Global Functions are consolidated at Group level 
into risk maps that show likelihood of occurrence and potential amount of damage, 
with both dimensions divided into four evaluation categories. Strategic risks are 
discussed within the medium-term planning process and consolidated by the EC into 
a “Group Risk Assessment” that is presented for approval to the BoD through its 
Audit Committee. The EC reviews the risk situation every half year. Additionally, the 
risk situation is scheduled for discussion and review during Monthly Performance 
Review meetings every quarter.
The Group Internal Audit function is responsible for internal audits at dormakaba. Internal 
Audit reports directly to the Audit Committee, although in functional terms it reports to the 
CFO. All audits performed in the financial year 2021/22 were in line with the (yearly) audit 
plan and approved by the Audit Committee.
Risks faced by dormakaba
a) Risks arising from business transactions
Our new strategy includes active portfolio management, acquisition, and divestments. This 
creates risks in the evaluation, transaction, and integration of the corresponding entities 
and assets. To minimize these risks, dormakaba manages the acquisition projects rigorously 
through standardized due diligence and PMI processes, using well-trained specialist 
employees and professional support from outside the Group.
b) Opportunities and risks arising from the business model
In recent years, dormakaba has continued to extend its product portfolio on electronic and 
cloud-based solutions. Its products are very frequently used in security-relevant applications 
such as access control systems which are increasingly often connected. dormakaba is 
therefore more exposed to cyber security risks, e.g. hackers gaining unauthorized access to 
sites and premises protected by dormakaba products, causing damage to the Group’s 
reputation and possibly exposing dormakaba to liability claims. dormakaba counters the 
increasing significance of such cyber security threats during the product development 
process by using the latest methods to identify points that could be attacked, and then 
closing these known vulnerabilities in the hardware and software with upgrades before new 
products are launched on the market. Equally important, existing products (mechanical, 
electronic, and cloud-based) are subject to continuous testing to keep them robust against 
new threats. dormakaba has taken out product liability insurance to be protected against 
these cyber threats to an extent that is economically reasonable.
Digital transformation is progressing rapidly, and it is essential to the success of 
dormakaba that it keeps pace with this development. This applies to the Group’s products 
and their connectivity as well as services, but also to operational processes. Sudden, 
disruptive developments are not rare these days, and there is a risk that existing 
competitors or new entrants to the markets of dormakaba could use such disruptive leaps 
to create significant advantages for themselves. The company’s innovation management 
team systematically monitors and analyzes the relevant technologies. As part of medium-
term planning, targeted analysis of information relating to the state of the market and the 
competition is conducted to ensure that local peculiarities are also taken into consideration. 
For dormakaba, as a manufacturer and supplier of high-quality access products and 
solutions in the premium market segment, the growing pressure on prices in relevant 
markets and specific product areas also represents a risk. It counters this risk through the 
targeted development of new products that offer customers a broader range of solutions,

services, business models, and continuous improvement in operational excellence 
(efficiency), thus helping to secure the Group’s market position. This strategy is 
complemented by elaborate strategic pricing efforts.
A significant risk in product manufacturing is the possibility of a lengthy interruption to 
operations at one or several of the Group’s worldwide production sites, for example 
because of fire or cyberattacks. Supplier failure and poor-quality raw materials and 
components also constitute a risk. Alongside the essential insurance protection, a central 
goal of the loss prevention programs in place at all manufacturing sites is to minimize these 
risks. Through these programs, the measures in place to prevent fire are regularly updated, 
formulated, and implemented. This is a recurring process that includes regular site visits 
and systematic risk grading analyses, conducted by the company’s global insurance provider 
who also organizes feedback loops and support in improvement projects. To counter the 
increasing risk of cyberattacks, dormakaba established an information security 
organization that assesses cyber threats and orchestrates adequate mitigation projects to 
protect vital assets.
Manufacturing processes create the risk of air and water pollution. To minimize this risk, 
dormakaba invests continuously in environmental protection measures.  Please see the 
 for specific information about measures and relevant certifications.
Sustainability Report
As a globally active company, dormakaba is exposed to risks created by the political 
situation in individual countries and regions, and also to risks resulting from pandemics as 
well as war and trade conflicts between countries or country groups. Such risk drivers can 
rarely be influenced. dormakaba carefully monitors such situations and tries to implement 
prompt and appropriate risk control measures. Its top priority is always to protect its own 
employees.
The Covid-19 pandemic and the regulatory consequences implemented by most 
governments worldwide resulted in an unprecedented slump in business activity in many 
countries in which dormakaba operates. Transnational activities continue to suffer from 
supply chain disruptions and increasing transportation prices. Shortages of certain 
commodities and components as well as energy have a negative impact on prices and 
availability. The war in Ukraine has started to exacerbate these tendencies. Currently, the 
economic situation is further burdened by a turnaround in monetary policies. First, the US 
Federal Reserve executed interest rate hikes and quantitative tightening. In the meantime, 
further central banks, in particular the European Central Bank, have taken similar 
measures.
To adequately react to changes that might occur from a macroeconomic downturn, 
dormakaba implemented state-of-the-art contingency planning to minimize the impact on 
business operations and supply chains, and thus on customers and employees, while at the 
same time placing a strong focus on its financial stability. Additionally, scenario planning 
methods are used to identify organizational and geographic units that provide 
opportunities for cost reduction measures. The scenarios are also used to find opportunities 
to introduce new products or fine-tune the business approach to specific markets. 
Monitoring and re-evaluation of the current situation is institutionalized and repeated at a 
quick pace to keep up with geopolitical and economic developments. The target is to be and 
remain capable of reacting quickly and adequately to changes that might occur.
Many industries face serious skill shortages, which also affect a technology-driven company 
like dormakaba. To mitigate possible talent shortages, dormakaba is increasing its efforts 
to find suitable candidates supported by its global employer branding initiative that is 
regularly adapted and tailored to the needs of the organization. This also includes career 
path models for certain functions such as product development and IT, as well as remote 
working models. Through employee engagement surveys, HR monitors employee 
engagement and management puts plans in place at several levels to work on elements 
where engagement should be improved.

c) Personnel risks
Committed employees and managers are pivotal to the sustainable business success of 
dormakaba and to the implementation of its strategy. The most common personnel risks 
evaluated by the Group are those relating to succession planning, fluctuation, and 
competences. There is a risk that vacant positions cannot be filled properly, and that 
competent employees could be lost. In recent months, there has been a large number of 
employee resignations in many industry sectors and to a large extent in the US, reaching a 
20 year high in November 2021. This trend could spread to more countries. At dormakaba, 
numerous personnel initiatives are implemented, with the aim of retaining employees and 
fostering long-term employee retention. These risks are addressed throughout the Group 
with the help of an extensive employer branding initiative, expanded talent acquisition 
practices, an improved benefits landscape and succession management, and through 
individual, targeted employee development programs.
Since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, a large focus was put on defining guidelines 
and specific measures such as strengthened safety precautions in the production 
environment as well as for sales staff and service technicians. Further guidelines include 
working from home for a longer period of time for office workers or travel restrictions. 
Another integral part was and still is providing employees with informational material on 
safety precautions and safe behavior to avoid the spread of the virus, as well as 
continuously communicating updates to related measures, stay-at-home policies, or 
lockdowns set by local governments. As restrictions are being eased in many countries, the 
dormakaba offices are still employing minimum safety precautions to safeguard all 
employees.
d) IT risks
The main business processes and customer solutions of dormakaba are supported by IT 
systems. The failure of these systems and the permanent loss of data through operating or 
program error, or as a result of increasingly prevalent external influences (e.g. cybercrime), 
represent a risk. To limit the risk of critical systems and infrastructure failing, including 
operational technology (OT) in manufacturing, the company’s IT strategy is to use state-of-
the-art protection standards. These are, for example, email address validation, client 
security protection and monitoring, identity and access control management, network 
security management, network and infrastructure management (e.g. 24x7 monitoring, 
high-level firewall protection tools, redundant network connections), special OT 
cybersecurity measures, and IT continuity operating plans as provision of redundant data 
and systems. dormakaba is using advanced threat protection solutions and operates a 
security operations center to further mitigate cyber security risks. A global information 
security management system (ISMS) according to ISO 27001 is in place. Cybersecurity risk 
awareness trainings (e-Learnings, behavior trainings concerning phishing malware) are 
globally mandatory for each employee with access to corporate IT systems. Additionally, 
dormakaba has taken out insurance to be protected against cyber threats to an extent 
that is economically reasonable.
Successful and timely execution of the global IT strategy (standardization of applications 
and infrastructure) is vital for the company’s future success. Failure could result in the delay 
of integration projects and underperformance of important business or Group-wide 
processes, including financial damage. dormakaba manages such risks by an IT governance 
model, which involves all relevant stakeholders including operational business.
e) Legal and tax risks
As a globally active group of companies, dormakaba is exposed to the risk of legal disputes. 
These legal disputes can concern e.g. product liability claims as well as potential 
competition and antitrust law and trademark or patent rights infringements. Risks are 
managed with the aid of Group-wide standards, trainings, and controls. The internal Legal 
Department and/or external lawyers are brought in for legal matters associated with 
specific risks.
International business activities can also give rise to tax risks. As tax law is in the 
responsibility of each jurisdiction, external tax assessments might not be aligned and might 
lead to double taxation. To identify and manage such tax risks, dormakaba sets directives

and manuals based on a defined tax policy. The responsibility for the tax policy rests with 
the BoD. For intra-Group transactions, dormakaba follows the dealing at arm’s length 
principle of the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development). This 
leads to tax payments where the economic value is created. dormakaba files the amount of 
taxes paid in a yearly CbCR (Country-by-Country Report). Transactions may further be 
subject to export control regulations. Compliance is managed through Group-wide 
standards, including directives and employee trainings. The internal Tax department works 
closely together with the local internal finance and legal organization and consults external 
advisors in case of need.
f) Compliance risks
Compliance risks arise as a result of a business model involving worldwide production and 
sales units, a growth strategy, and increasingly internationalized procurement. Risks also 
result from the wide variety of distribution channels, from participation in tendering 
processes, from the use of products in public spaces and private buildings, from the wide 
and international supplier base, and from active work within trade associations. Significant 
compliance risks include bribery and corruption, infringements of antitrust and competition 
law, fraud, preferential treatment of business partners from personal motives, violation of 
intellectual property protection rights, and shortages or improper installation of products. 
These risks can result in financial, liability, and reputational damage.
It is Group Compliance’s mission to support the dormakaba organization and every 
dormakaba employee to take appropriate decisions consistent with applicable laws and 
corporate regulations and to act with integrity.
This mission is based on the following strategic goals:
• Enable employees to work in accordance with legal requirements as well as 
dormakaba´s company values, its Code of Conduct, and other internal rules and 
regulations.
• Support the BoD and EC to ensure that all provisions of the law and dormakaba’s 
rules and regulations are complied with. The objective is to achieve compliance by all 
Group entities.
• Reduce undue risks for dormakaba, its employees, and management.
• Implement and operate a Compliance Management System (CMS) which meets the 
most stringent certification demands according to best practice standards.
That is why prevention is the priority: the implemented system is intended to avoid 
infringements, and employees are properly trained and advised.
The mandatory Code of Conduct trainings need to be completed by all dormakaba 
employees.  Procedures are in place to ensure that new employees commit to the 
dormakaba Code of Conduct and are trained. In addition, dormakaba placed emphasis on 
antitrust and anticorruption trainings for a defined target group of employees who are 
particularly exposed (Senior Management, Sales, etc.). A full set of internal rules and 
regulations on Group Directive level covering the main activities of dormakaba is available 
and regularly updated. The implemented compliance mechanisms are adjusted to changing 
circumstances where necessary.
g) Financial risks
dormakaba is exposed to various financial risks on account of its international activities. As 
well as the risk of default on claims, e.g. trade receivables, liquidity and credit risks, these 
include market price risks in particular (interest rate, currency, and other price risks).
Further details on dormakaba’s financial risk exposure and its risk avoidance and mitigation 
measures can be found in the 
 for the financial year 
2021/22.

was confirmed that dormakaba has an overall and in all respects appropriate and effective 
system for ensuring compliance with the statutory requirements.
Switzerland regulates the OTC trade in derivatives with the 
Finanzmarktinfrastrukturgesetz (FinfraG). All Swiss-based Group companies classify as 
“NFC“ (small non-financial counterparties) and have signed agreements with their banks 
regarding the delegation of reporting duties.
The funding for dormakaba Group companies is managed centrally. A five-year syndicated 
sustainability-linked credit facility, agreed for dormakaba during financial year 2020/21 
with a consortium of banks, amounts to CHF 525 million with options to extend by another 
two years and to increase the facility by CHF 200 million. There are also agreements in 
place with various regional banks for bilateral credit facilities. dormakaba thus has 
sufficient liquidity reserves to ensure that even unexpected events do not have a significant 
effect on its liquidity position.
CHF 360 million bond maturity in October 2021 was refinanced by drawings under the 
syndicated credit facility due to the unfinished strategy project Shape4Growth. The 
planned capital market take out in Spring 2022 was cancelled due to the war in Ukraine. To 
ensure the usual financial flexibility under the syndicated credit facility, dormakaba signed 
in June 2022 a 12 month CHF 300 million credit facility with a major Swiss bank to „bridge 
to bond“.
h) Other risks
The company’s business model could also give rise to other risks not mentioned so far. 
These could be, for instance, sustainability compliance risks including compliance to 
materials restrictions laws or human rights due diligence laws, climate change risks, and 
liability risks resulting from local laws that are not known at Group level. dormakaba 
counters these risks by diverse measures, including its sustainability framework and 
organization, the consistently high quality of its products and services, the engagement of 
legal experts when the risk of a legal dispute is identified, or by taking out appropriate 
insurance cover. A full disclosure of climate change related risks is made available in 
dormakaba’s annual submission to the CDP.
Assessment of overall risk and opportunity situation
In conclusion, the company’s opportunity and risk situation can be rated as moderate.
Existing risks are identified and continuously monitored through the risk management 
system. When necessary, they are hedged using appropriate countermeasures.
With  strong brands, the broad existing portfolio, the wide market presence, and with the 
existing innovation structure and approach, the prospects of further profitable growth for 
dormakaba remain promising. The new Shape4Growth strategy places its focus on 
customer centricity and accelerating profitable growth, giving dormakaba even more 
leverage to make use of these strengths.
There is no sign of any risks that would endanger the continued existence of dormakaba. 
Currently no specific risk has been identified that could significantly affect the assets, 
financial position, or earnings of dormakaba, neither is there evidence of any material 
liquidity risk. A material deterioration in the future assets, financial position and earnings is 
not expected given the current risk situation. This assessment is based on the assumption 
that no global economic recession hits the markets in the near future
Future prospects (forward-looking report)
The 2022/23 financial year has opened on an unsettled note, with continuing concerns 
about the geopolitical and macroeconomic outlook. Year-on-year, global GDP growth is 
projected to decline from 6.1% in 2021 to 3.2% in 2022 (IMF World Economic Outlook, July 
2022). The war in Ukraine has brought with it widespread disruption in fuel and overall 
energy markets, yielding inflation of costs and the potential for a food crisis on a broader 
scale with the related risk of widespread unrest. Rising energy and commodity prices, 
coupled with increased post-pandemic consumer and business purchasing, have driven a

sharp price inflation in most developed economies. Central banks in Europe and the 
Americas have reacted with increased interest rates and quantitative tightening, reversing 
the loose money policies in place for more than a decade.
Meanwhile, the continuing circulation of Covid variants worldwide, and the severe lockdown 
measures that persist in some countries, have extended the challenges to labor availability 
and supply chain efficiency, such as the supply of semiconductors and further electronic 
components, that followed the pandemic.
Forecasts are to a large extent influenced by further developments of the war in Ukraine 
and the progression of the pandemic.  Inflationary pressure and the central banks’ 
intervention resulting in higher interest rates, could potentially distort economic growth and 
bear the risk of a recession. That said, the severity of these multiple sources of concern 
varies considerably according to geographical area, industry, and time scale – and much of 
the negative market reaction stems from lack of certainty and visibility about the 
persistence and the depth of their impact.
Employment remains high in developed economies, and GDP, with only a few exceptions, is 
at or above pre-pandemic levels. Asian economies outside China are seeing healthy 
economic activity and are outperforming global growth trends (IMF World Economic 
Outlook, July 2022). Housing and office space prices have been rebalancing to reflect new 
working practices, but the need for yet more building is still clear in countries around the 
world.
As a globally operating company, dormakaba will continue to be exposed to a wide range of 
risks in the individual regions. For this reason, the company publishes details on the 
development of the individual Regions in addition to the information about the business 
performance of the Group. dormakaba believes, however, that its business and regional 
profile puts it  in a good position long-term to respond flexibly to regional changes. Since 
the merger to form dormakaba in September 2015, the company’s risk profile has 
improved; dormakaba has gained scale while remaining financially more flexible and 
noticeably diversifying its product portfolio and global presence. Shape4Growth, 
dormakaba’s new strategy launched in November 2021, will provide the flexibility and 
portfolio depth necessary to capture increased market share and profitable growth in the 
industries and territories that are most attractive. Shape4Growth’s emphasis on customer-
centricity gives dormakaba the power to address increasing differentiation in its industry, 
fulfilling the demand for smart, seamless, and secure access solutions that also meet 
increasingly rigorous sustainability criteria.
The turbulent geopolitical conditions of the moment should not obscure the fundamental 
trends of the industry, which remain unchanged from before the Covid-19 pandemic, and 
will continue to drive dormakaba’s technical and commercial development:
• The world as a whole is becoming more prosperous; the needs for security and 
protection that characterize the middle classes in developed countries will become 
the norm in ever more places (growth driver: increasing prosperity);
• At the same time, the average life expectancy is rising steadily, which means that 
institutions and private homes increasingly need barrier-free solutions that allow 
senior citizens to move easily from room to room (growth driver: demographic 
change);
• The world is becoming more urban, cities larger, and infrastructure more complex, 
requiring sophisticated solutions to support the seamless flow of people to where 
they want to go (growth driver: urbanization);
• Buildings and land should be both easily accessible and secure from a wide spectrum 
of threats. Meeting these combined needs efficiently and conveniently demands a 
comprehensive access solution (growth driver: need for security);
• Finally, technology influences practically every aspect of the access and security 
market, from digitization and distribution channels to the networking of products in 
the “Internet of Things”. Customers expect that their experience of access solutions 
should integrate seamlessly with their personal digital environments (growth driver: 
technology).

Fundamental information about dormakaba
These five trends influence everything that dormakaba does, from strategy through 
product development to marketing and sales. In addition to these five megatrends, 
dormakaba expects access and credentialing policies across all vertical end markets to be 
strengthened, with emphasis on adaptability, versatility, and health. As such, dormakaba 
believes it is well equipped with key products and interoperable solutions to realize the 
growth potential, for example in the area of seamless and touchless access solutions. 
dormakaba is also willing to consider investments in the ongoing consolidation of the 
industry, which is likely to accelerate.
Outlook for the financial year 2022/23
The current business environment is characterized by uncertainties and lack of visibility. 
Geopolitical risks have further increased in the last months particularly in Asia and Europe. 
Spillover effects of the war in Ukraine could lead to a sudden stop of European gas imports 
from Russia and result in an energy crisis. Further, higher interest rates of the central banks 
to fight rising inflation might impact general economic growth including new construction 
activities. And finally, renewed Covid-19 outbreaks and lockdowns might suppress growth 
and further deteriorate global supply chains going forward.
Due to the aforementioned lack of visibility and as geopolitical and macroeconomic risks 
increase, dormakaba’s outlook applies to the first half of 2022/23. The company will 
continue to carefully assess the economic situation in the next months and will update its 
guidance for the financial year 2022/23 with its half year results.
Based on a healthy order intake and backlog at the end of 2021/22, dormakaba expects a 
good start in the financial year 2022/23. For the first half-year of 2022/23, the company 
expects organic growth slightly above the mid-term target range of annually 3% - 5%. 
Expecting a sequential improvement on the 2021/22 second half-year performance 
excluding the dilutive effect of the divested Mesker business, the company expects an 
adjusted EBITDA margin of around 13% in the first half of financial year 2022/23.
Independent from macroeconomic conditions dormakaba will continue to focus on the 
execution of its Shape4Growth initiatives which includes both growth and cost 
management measures such as pricing and expense management.

In accordance with the management organization, the reporting to Group management 
consists of the three regions, Key & Wall Solutions, and the Global Functions, as described 
above. Segment Reporting is prepared up to the level of adjusted EBITDA/EBIT because 
these are the key figures used for management purposes. The reporting forms the basis for 
assessing performance and allocating resources. Financial transactions of Global Functions 
that are directly attributable or can be allocated on a reasonable basis to a specific 
segment are reported under the segment concerned. The segment results are based on the 
same accounting principles that are used to determine the operating profit of the Group. 
Intersegment transactions are based on the arm’s length principle.

1) dormakaba changed its operating model as of 1 January 2022. To enable a fair comparison with current-year data, all segment information disclosed were 
retrospectively adjusted to the new operating model by reclassification of transactions within the segment reporting.
Transition into the new operating model
The transition into the new operating model contains the following major elements:
•
 organizations are separated in the new 
operating model as Global Functions. Their financial contribution to the Group’s 
financial performance is allocated to the respective sales Region; either directly 
attributable or allocated on a reasonable basis.
Global Operations and Marketing & Products
•
 reflect the geographical and other structural shifts of 
responsibility. The change in Region Americas stems mainly from the centralization of 
the Safe Locks business (share of former AS EMEA segment) while Region Asia 
Pacific is impacted by the additional responsibility for the Market Middle East 
(former AS EMEA segment). The impact of above changes on Europe & Africa are

Accounting principles
Net sales includes all sales of goods and services, after deduction of freight expense 
of goods sold, sales commissions, and other sales deductions, such as discounts and 
rebates.
Sales from goods are recognized when all significant risks, rewards of ownership, 
and control are transferred. Sales related to services are recognized when the 
service is provided. Distinctive components related to multi-element contracts are 
recognized separately.

1) dormakaba changed its operating model as of 1 January 2022. To enable a fair comparison with 
current-year data, all segment information disclosed were retrospectively adjusted to the new 
operating model by reclassification of full-time employees within the segment reporting.
Personnel expenses also contain Covid-19 contributions from governments for short-time 
work and other compensation. These grants are recorded in personnel costs with a cost-
reducing effect to reflect the economic substance and did not have a material impact on 
the consolidated financial statements (2021/22 and 2020/21).
Share-based payments
The Nomination and Compensation Committee nominates individual Executive Committee 
(EC) members and other members of Senior Management for long-term incentive awards. 
The long-term incentive award in the 2021/22 financial year is granted in full in the form of 
performance share units of dormakaba subject to a three-year performance-based vesting 
period. The award is designed to reward participants for the future performance of the 
earnings per share (EPS) and the relative total shareholder return (TSR) of the company 
over the three-year performance period. Both performance conditions are equally weighted 
at 50%. The vesting level may range from 0% to a maximum of 200% of the original 
number of units granted (maximum two shares for each performance share unit originally 
granted).
In the 2020/21 financial year, one-third of the long-term incentive award was granted in 
the form of restricted shares of dormakaba subject to a three-year blocking period. 
The restricted shares allocated to the members of the Board of Directors (BoD) are blocked 
for three years.
The fair value of the performance share units at the grant date comprises adjustments for 
lost dividends during the vesting periods and the TSR performance condition. The expenses 
for the performance share units are allocated on a straight-line basis over the vesting 
period.

The fair value of the employee services received in exchange for shares is measured

recognized accordingly. Shares that are subject to future services are recognized 
over the vesting period.

1.5 Taxes
Income taxes
The weighted applicable tax rate is calculated using the expected income tax rates of the 
individual Group companies in each jurisdiction. The decrease in the weighted applicable tax 
rate is driven by the reduction in the profit from the US, which has a higher than average 
tax rate.

charged to income when incurred. Deferred income taxes are determined using the 
liability method, with the applicable and substantially enacted income tax rates 
applied on a comprehensive basis to eligible temporary differences. Deferred 
income tax assets arising from temporary differences are only recognized to the 
extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available, against which 
the temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred income taxes resulting from tax 
loss carryforwards applicable to future taxable income are only recognized to the 
extent of the available deferred tax liabilities.
Use of accounting estimates
The recoverable amount of deferred income tax assets is based on past 
performance and forecasts of the corresponding taxable entity over a period of 
several years. Deviations between actual and projected results can lead to 
impairment losses.

The Group does not hold material collateral as security for trade receivables.
Accounting principles
Short-term accounts receivable are stated at nominal value less allowance for 
doubtful accounts. The amount of the allowance is the difference between the 
asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows. It is 
assessed based on the maturity structure. In addition, accounts receivable are 
individually impaired if there is clear evidence of insolvency or other indications that 
collectability is severely endangered.

Accounting principles
Inventories are valued at the lower of purchase/manufacturing cost and net 
realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average method. 
Manufacturing cost includes direct labor and material as well as a commensurate 
share of related overhead cost. Allowances are made for obsolete and slow-moving 
items. Cash discounts from suppliers are treated as purchase cost reductions.

Accounting principles
 are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation 
using the straight-line method. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s 
carrying amount 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 
Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of 
the replaced part is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to 
the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Property, plant, and equipment
Items of minor value are charged directly to the income statement. All gains and 
losses on the disposal of property, plant, and equipment are recognized in the 
income statement.

Intangible assets
Development costs are recognized as an asset when specific recognition criteria are 
met and the amount recognized is assessed to be recoverable through future 
economic benefits.
Other intangible assets consist mainly of licenses, patents and advance payments.

Use of accounting estimates
Property, plant, and equipment as well as intangible assets are tested for 
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the 
carrying amount may not be recoverable. To determine whether impairment exists, 
estimates are made of the expected future cash flows arising from the use of the 
asset. Actual cost may differ from the discounted future cash flows based on these 
estimates.

Accounting principles
Provisions are recognized when:
• the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past 
event;
• it is probable that a use of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and
• the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated.
A restructuring is a program planned and controlled by the Management that 
materially changes the manner in which the business is conducted. Costs relating to 
restructuring plans or agreements, including the reduction of excess staff, the 
discontinuation of certain activities, the streamlining of facilities and operations, 
and other restructuring measures, are recorded in the period in which the Group 
commits itself to a detailed formal plan.
Use of accounting estimates
In the course of their ordinary operating activities, Group companies can face 
claims from third parties. Provisions for pending claims are measured on the basis 
of the information available and a realistic estimate of the expected outflow of 
resources. The outcome of these proceedings may result in claims against the 
Group that cannot be met at all or in full through provisions or insurance cover.
Significant judgment is required to determine the costs of restructuring plans. The 
actual cost might deviate from the original plan.

The expenses for pension institutions with a surplus relate entirely to pension plans in 
Switzerland. The Swiss plans are valued annually as of December and in line with Swiss 
GAAP FER 26. The pension institutions without own assets are assessed annually as of the 
financial year-end closing. They relate mainly to pension liabilities of Group companies in 
Germany, Austria, and Italy.
Accounting principles
There are various pension plans in existence within the Group, which are individually 
aligned with local conditions in the respective countries. The plans are financed 
either by means of contributions to legally independent pension/insurance funds or 
by recognition as liabilities in the balance sheet of the respective Group companies. 
An economic obligation or an economic benefit arising from a Swiss pension 
scheme is determined from the statements made on the basis of Swiss GAAP FER 
26 “Accounting of Pension Plans” and recognized in the balance sheet accordingly. 
The provision for pension plans of foreign subsidiaries, which are not organized as 
an independent legal entity, is determined based on the local valuation methods.
Use of accounting estimates
dormakaba Group operates pension plans in various countries. The calculation of 
pension provisions for plans that do not have their own assets is based on actuarial 
assumptions, which may differ from the actual results.

Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost are initially recorded at fair value, 
net of transaction costs incurred, and subsequently measured at amortized cost. 
Any difference between the proceeds from disposal (net of transaction costs) and 
the redemption value is recognized in the income statement over the period of the 
borrowing using the effective interest method.

3. Capital and financial risk 
management
This section outlines the principles and procedures applied to manage the capital structure 
and the financial risks to which the Group is exposed. Detailed information on dormakaba 
Group’s sources of funding, such as credit facilities and bonds, are also provided here. In 
addition, the details of the share capital, treasury shares, earnings per share, and dividends 
are disclosed in this section. The theoretical movement of goodwill provides information 
about the impact of dormakaba Group’s accounting option to offset the goodwill in equity.
3.1 Capital management
Capital management has the following objectives:
• securing sufficient liquidity to meet the Group’s needs to fulfil its financial obligations;
• securing sufficient funding capacity for future investments and acquisitions;
• ensuring creditworthiness;
• achieving an appropriate risk-adjusted return for investors.
The comprehensive crisis management measures implemented by the Group management 
in the last financial year due to the Covid-19 pandemic as well as due to the war in Ukraine 
are ongoing. Measures aimed at focusing on the receivable collection to limit the days sales 
outstanding increase following the sales growth. The earlier introduced daily monitoring of 
the liquidity and financial debt status on Group level, including financial covenants and 
undrawn credit facilities, was continued. Further increased attention was on the net 
working capital management, which also includes a strict credit management and 
collection discipline on the trade receivables as well as restrictions on capital expenditures. 
The inflationary pressure of raw materials, the transportation cost increase as well as 
increased safety stock due to ongoing supply chain issues as well as the accelerating 
business focusing towards profitability and sales growth resulted in an increase in accounts 
receivables and inventory that was accepted to reduce backlog and ensure delivery 
capability. The inventory increase is seen as a temporary measure and actions to reduce to 
prior crisis level are ongoing.

Credit facility
As of 30 June 2022, the short-term bank loans and overdrafts amount to CHF 473.4 million 
(2020/21: CHF 9.9  million).
In November 2020, dormakaba secured a five-year syndicated loan in the amount of CHF 
525 million that includes options for a prolongation of two additional years and for an 
increase of up to CHF 200 million. For the first time, incentives for the achievement of 
ambitious sustainability performance objectives in the form of three important ESG 
(Environmental, Social, and Governance) criteria were included in the contract. The 
syndicated credit facility contains a single financial covenant that is the leverage factor 
(calculated as the ratio of net debt to EBITDA). As of 30 June 2022 and throughout the

Consolidated financial statements
2021/22 financial year, dormakaba complied with the financial covenant. As per 30 June 
2022, this credit line was 30% drawn.
The CHF 360 million bond maturity in October 2021 was refinanced by drawings under the 
syndicated credit facility due to the unfinished strategy project Shape4Growth. The 
planned capital market take out in Spring 2022 was cancelled due to the war in Ukraine. To 
ensure the usual financial flexibility under the syndicated credit facility, dormakaba signed a 
12-month CHF 300 million credit facility with one major Swiss bank in June 2022 to „bridge 
to bond“. This credit facility is fully drawn.
The interest expenses on short-term bank loans and overdrafts are recorded within other

Accounting principles
Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost are initially recorded at fair value, 
net of transaction costs incurred, and subsequently measured at amortized cost. 
Any difference between the proceeds of disposal (net of transaction costs) and the 
redemption value is recognized in the income statement over the period of the 
borrowing using the effective interest method.
Bonds
Two bonds were placed in September 2017 in the Swiss capital market by 
dormakaba Finance AG, a Group company of dormakaba Holding AG, as a dual tranche 
transaction worth a total of CHF 680 million (ISIN CH0384629884 due in 2021 and ISIN 
CH0384629892 due in 2025). The first tranche of CHF 360 million was  matured as of 13 
October 2021 and was refinanced by drawings of CHF 340 million in the syndicated credit 
facility since dormakaba held CHF 20.0 million financed from own cash.

1) In 2021/22: proposal to the AGM; distribution of an equal share from the reserves from capital 
contributions and from statutory retained earnings.
Date of payment: 17 October 2022 (estimated final dividend payable, subject to variations in the 
number of shares up to the recording date). This dividend has not been recognized as a liability as at 
30 June 2022 and will be recognized in subsequent consolidated financial statements.
2) The dividend for the financial year is calculated on the basis of the outstanding shares at the end of 
the financial year.
3) In line with the BoD’s decision not to consider the negative impact of the Mesker divestment when 
determining the dividend, the 2021/22 net profit attributable to owners of the parent company of 
CHF 63.2 million has been adjusted by CHF 32.2 million (CHF 61.4 million net profit impact of the 
Mesker divestment less minorities of 47.5%).
dormakaba Group envisages a dividend policy whereby the minimum payout ratio should be 
50% of the consolidated net profit after minority interests.

Consolidated financial statements
Accounting principles
As goodwill is fully offset in equity at the date of acquisition, an impairment of 
goodwill does not affect income; it is only disclosed in the notes to the consolidated 
financial statements.
Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any 
non-controlling interest in the acquired entity, and the book value as at the 
acquisition date of any previous equity interest in the acquired entity over the fair 
value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired. Only intangible 
assets purchased separately are recognized as part of an acquisition. The positive 
or negative goodwill resulting from acquisitions is offset in equity at the date of 
acquisition against retained earnings.
If the purchase price contains elements that are dependent on future results, they 
are estimated as accurately as possible at the date of acquisition and recognized in 
the balance sheet. In the event of any disparities when the definitive purchase price 
is settled, the goodwill offset in equity is adjusted accordingly. The consequences of 
a theoretical capitalization and amortization of goodwill are explained in the note 
on the theoretical movement of goodwill.
3.5 Financial risk management
The tasks of the BoD include identifying risks, determining suitable measures, and 
implementing these measures or having them implemented. The BoD of dormakaba 
Holding AG conducted a regular Group-wide risk assessment in the year under review and 
determined the risks to be managed at particular management levels.
The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine continue to have a significant 
impact on the global economic environment. The ongoing comprehensive crisis 
management with taskforces implemented by the Group management ensured supportive 
actions to all Group companies as well as relevant reporting to the EC and BoD. The aim of 
the Covid-19 measures is to ensure the health and safety of all employees, to minimize the 
impact on business operations and supply chains, and thus on customers, and to focus on 
cash flow by following a “cash is king” principle. dormakaba adjusted its 
financial management as well as its forecast structures to retain its entrepreneurial 
flexibility and financial stability at all times. This includes the daily monitoring of cash flows, 
liquidity, and the status of financial debt at Group level, also regarding available undrawn 
credit facilities. The Ukraine Taskforce implemented rigid sanctions-control as well as 
business adjustment for Russia. This ensures that operating risks are given due attention, 
reported accordingly, and the BoD has a comprehensive overview of the key risks and 
measures taken.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk arises due to the possibility that dormakaba Group might experience difficulty 
in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities.
Liquidity risk is managed centrally by Group Treasury. The Group’s objective is to maintain a 
balance between the continuity of funding and flexibility by using varied financing 
instruments across a range of maturities. The Group aims to maintain a spread of 
maturities to avoid excessive refinancing in any one period. The Group endeavors to 
maintain funding flexibility by keeping available committed credit lines with a variety of 
counterparties.

Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss if a counterparty fails to fulfil its obligations to dormakaba 
Group. Hence, dormakaba Group is exposed to credit risk arising from financing activities, 
including deposits with banks and financial institutions, foreign exchange transactions, and 
other financial instruments such as trade receivables, other current assets, and non-current 
financial assets.
Cash and cash equivalents are mainly held in the form of current accounts and current 
fixed-term deposits. Counterparty risks with financial institutions are monitored 
continuously and are minimized by the Group limiting its relationships to high-ranking banks 
only.
Trade receivables are monitored on an ongoing basis locally and via Group management 
reporting procedures. The danger of cluster risks on trade receivables is limited due to the 
large number and wide geographical spread of customers. The extent of the credit risk is 
determined mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The assessment of 
this risk involves a review of the customer’s creditworthiness based on its financial situation 
and experience. The maturity analysis of trade receivables is disclosed in the note on 
.
trade 
receivables (2.1)
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the Group’s financial situation is impacted by changes in 
interest rates.
The dormakaba Group’s interest rate risk arises from its short-term and long-term 
borrowings. The interest rate risk is hedged only in a few cases. Management strives for a 
well-balanced mix of long- and short-term interest rate exposure, taking into consideration 
the planned funding requirements. Funding and related interest are managed centrally by 
Group Treasury.

In the 2021/22 financial year, dormakaba Group’s sales growth was negatively impacted by 
foreign currency translations in the amount of CHF 3.0 million (2020/21: CHF 76.6 million 
negative impact) and EBITDA positively  by CHF 3.0 million (2020/21: CHF 11.1 million 
negative impact).
Transaction risk
Management monitors foreign exchange risks on a regular basis. When management 
deems it appropriate to do so, dormakaba uses derivative financial instruments to manage 
its transaction risk exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates.
Foreign exchange risks relating to intercompany loans are covered to a large extent by 
forward exchange contracts with third parties. The external counterparties involved are 
high-ranking financial institutions. dormakaba enters into financial transactions only to 
hedge against a related off-balance-sheet risk or a highly probable future business 
transaction. No uncovered short transactions are entered into.
Intercompany invoicing is structured in a way that foreign exchange risks are concentrated 
in dormakaba's manufacturing companies. The use of a group netting system with 
intercompany payment terms of up to 60 days reduces the intercompany exposure and

Accounting principles
Investments in associates and joint ventures where dormakaba Group exercises 
significant influence but does not have control (i.e. usually an interest between 20% 
and 50%) are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under the 
equity method, investments in associated companies and joint ventures are initially 
recognized at cost, and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognize 
dormakaba Group’s share of the profit or loss of the associate/joint venture after 
the date of acquisition. Profit and loss are attributed to the owners of the parent 
and to the minority interests, even if this results in a negative balance. Investments 
in which dormakaba Group does not have significant influence (i.e. dormakaba 
Group’s interest is usually less than 20%) are recorded at cost.

Accounting principles
Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any 
non-controlling interest in the acquired entity, and the book value as at the 
acquisition date of any previous equity interest in the acquired entity over the fair 
value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired. Only intangible 
assets purchased separately are recognized as part of an acquisition. The positive 
or negative goodwill resulting from acquisitions is offset in equity at the date of 
acquisition against retained earnings.
If the purchase price contains elements that are dependent on future results, they 
are estimated as accurately as possible at the date of acquisition and recognized in 
the balance sheet. In the event of any disparities when the definitive purchase price 
is settled, the goodwill offset in equity is adjusted accordingly. The consequences of 
a theoretical capitalization and amortization of goodwill are explained in the note 
on the

5. Other disclosures
This section provides a general understanding of the preparation and consolidation 
principles as well as an overview of the use of accounting estimates. In addition, it details 
any events occurring between the balance sheet date and the date at which the financial 
statements are approved by the BoD.
5.1 About this report
Parent company of the Group
The parent company of the Group is dormakaba Holding AG, a company limited by shares 
that is incorporated and domiciled in Rümlang (Switzerland). The address of its registered 
office is Hofwisenstrasse 24, 8153 Rümlang, Switzerland. The company is listed on the SIX 
Swiss Exchange.
Basis for preparation
These consolidated financial statements were approved for issue by the BoD on 25 August 
2022 and will be presented for approval by the AGM on 11 October 2022.
The consolidated financial statements of dormakaba Group comply with Swiss law and 
have been prepared using the historical cost principle, except where disclosed in the 
accounting policies below, and in accordance with Swiss GAAP FER as a whole (GAAP = 
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, FER = Fachempfehlung zur Rechnungslegung or 
“accounting and reporting recommendations”). Furthermore, the accounting complies with 
the provisions of the Listing Rules of SIX and Swiss company law. The accounting policies 
have been applied consistently by Group companies. No changes to the Swiss GAAP FER 
requirements were announced or released in the year under review.
Currency conversion
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Swiss francs (CHF), which is 
dormakaba Group’s presentation currency. Items included in the financial statements of 
each dormakaba Group company are measured using the currency of the primary economic 
environment in which that company operates (the “functional currency”).
Foreign currency transactions are converted into the functional currency of the appropriate 
entity using the exchange rates prevailing as at the dates of the transactions. Foreign 
exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the 
translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year-end 
exchange rates are recognized in the income statement.
The assets and liabilities of subsidiaries reporting in currencies other than Swiss francs are 
translated at the exchange rates prevailing as at the balance sheet date. Income, expenses, 
cash flows, and other movement items are translated at average exchange rates for the 
period. All resulting exchange differences are recognized in equity. Upon consolidation, 
exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign 
companies and from borrowings and other currency instruments designated as hedges of 
such investments are taken to equity. When a foreign operation is sold, exchange 
differences that were recorded in equity are recycled to the income statement as part of 
the gain or loss on the sale.

Consolidated financial statements
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of dormakaba Group include the operations of 
dormakaba Holding AG and all direct and indirect subsidiaries. The Group controls an entity 
when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with 
the entity and it has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. 
The consolidated accounts are based on the annual financial statements of the individual 
subsidiaries. All companies follow the uniform measurement and reporting practices 
prescribed by the Group. In applying the full consolidation method, the assets, liabilities, 
income, and expenses of all subsidiaries are included in their entirety. Minority interests in 
equity and profit are disclosed separately. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date 
when control is acquired. The identifiable assets and liabilities are revalued and included 
according to the acquisition method. Any difference between the cost of acquisition and 
the fair value of the Group’s share of net assets acquired constitutes goodwill. Subsidiaries 
sold are excluded from consolidation as of the date when control ceases. All intercompany 
balances, transactions, and intercompany profits are eliminated upon consolidation. 
Investments in associates and joint ventures where dormakaba Group exercises significant 
influence but does not exercise control (i.e. usually an interest between 20% and 50%) are 
accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, 
investments in associated companies and joint ventures are initially recognized at cost, and 
the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognize dormakaba Group’s share of 
the profit or loss of the associate/joint venture after the date of acquisition. Profit and loss 
are attributed to the owners of the parent and to the minority interests, even if this results 
in a negative balance. Investments in which dormakaba Group does not have significant 
influence (i.e. dormakaba Group’s interest is usually less than 20%) are recorded at cost.
Companies established or acquired or those in which the Group increases its interest and 
thereby obtains control during the year are consolidated as of the date of establishment or 
the date when control commences. Companies are deconsolidated as of the date that 
control effectively ceases upon disposal or a reduction in ownership interest. This rule is 
applied similarly to investments in associates.
In the event that shares of a Group company or associated company are sold, the 
difference between the proceeds from the sale and the proportional book value of the net 
assets, including historical goodwill, is recognized as a gain or loss in the income statement.
The Group treats transactions with minority interests that do not result in a loss of control 
as transactions with the equity owners of the Group. A change in ownership interest results 
in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling interests and minority 
interests to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with Swiss GAAP FER requires the 
use of estimates and assumptions, which have an effect on the reported value of assets 
and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial 
statements, and the reported value of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. 
Although these estimates are based on Management’s best knowledge of current events as 
well as actions that dormakaba Group may undertake in the future, the actual results may 
differ from the estimates.
The most important accounting estimates are described in a blue box at the end of the 
note to which they relate as per the following table:

Use of accounting estimates
For the purpose of testing impairment, goodwill and assets are grouped in cash-
generating units for which cash flows are separately identifiable. The Group 
estimates the recoverable amount of those cash-generating units, which generally 
represent their value in use. Value in use is assessed using the discounted cash flow 
method. The estimates used in these calculations are based on updated budgets 
and medium-term plans covering a period of three years. Cash flows beyond the 
projection period are extrapolated in perpetuity.
When the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is 
recognized separately in the income statement. The recoverable amount is the 
higher of fair value less cost of disposal and value in use.
Alternative performance measures (APM)
Some of the key figures used by dormakaba to measure the financial performance are not 
defined by Swiss GAAP FER. The comparability of these figures with those of other 
companies might be limited. Explanations and reconciliations of these APMs are disclosed 
below.
EBITDA and EBIT adjusted by items affecting comparability (IAC)
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) corresponds to 
the operating result (EBIT) before depreciation and amortization. By adjusting EBITDA and 
EBIT for items affecting comparability (IAC), transparency is further increased and the 
comparability of the Groupʼs operational performance on a period-to-period basis is 
improved.
IACs are defined as significant costs and income which, because of their exceptional nature, 
cannot be viewed as inherent to the Groupʼs underlying performance. The content of these 
items excluded is summarized in the table below and the reconciliation with EBIT defined by 
Swiss GAAP FER is disclosed in segment reporting:

Return on capital employed (ROCE)
EBIT divided by capital employed (CE) results in ROCE. dormakaba bases the calculation on 
a 12-month rolling EBIT, adjusted for items affecting comparability (IAC). CE equals the 
sum of net working capital, property, plant, and equipment, and intangible assets. For the 
calculation, the average of the last three published balance sheet information is considered 
(30 June 2022, 31 December 2021, and 30 June 2021). For the previous year comparison, the 
same principles were applied.

Committees
The BoD has formed an Audit Committee (AC) and a Nomination and Compensation 
Committee (NCC). Members of the NCC are elected at each AGM. Each committee has 
written terms of reference that define its tasks and responsibilities. The chairs of these 
committees are elected by the BoD. The committees meet regularly and are obliged to 
produce minutes as well as recommendations to the regular BoD meetings. Committee 
meeting agendas are defined by the committee chair. Members of the committees receive 
documentation prior to the meetings so they can prepare for discussion of agenda items.

The AC is composed of four non-executive BoD members, who have professional or other 
experience of finance and accounting:
•
 (Chair)

The BoD has specified that members of the AC must meet certain requirements with 
regard to independence and skills and that they must not be EC members. The term of

CFO takes part in the meetings in an advisory capacity, as do, where necessary, the CEO, 
representatives of the audit firm, representatives of Group Internal Audit and of the Group 
Accounting Department, and the Group General Counsel. In the financial year 2021/22, 
representatives of the audit firm participated in two meetings and representatives of 
Group Internal Audit, the Group General Counsel, and representatives of the Group 
Accounting Department in all four meetings. The AC minutes the deliberations and 
decisions taken during meetings. The principal responsibilities of the AC are to evaluate risk 
management and accounting processes, monitor financial reporting and internal auditing, 
and assess external audits. With regard to external audits, the AC has the following 
responsibilities:

Corporate Governance
The Risk Management System periodically records legal, operational, financial, and business 
risks. Legal risks include current or potential legal disputes; operational risks include 
scenarios such as operational failures, supply chain issues, and natural disasters; whereas 
business risks include, for instance, payment defaults or general negative market 
developments. Risks are quantified and weighted with regard to their likelihood and their 
possible financial and/or business impact. Preventative measures that have been planned 
or already implemented are also subject to review. Risks are recorded if they have a 
potential financial impact of CHF 2.5 million or more. The AC regularly reports to the BoD 
as a whole about its activities, and it notifies the BoD immediately about important 
matters.
The agendas for the AC meetings are defined by its Chair based on an annual standard 
agenda. Main topics of the meetings are:
• Legal report on major litigations and key legal risks;
• External and internal audit plans;
• Internal audit reviews and status of implementation of audit action items;
• Risk management reports;
• Financial statements, audit and ICS reports, Group Management and Corporate 
Governance Report, Interim Report (full financial year and/or half-year);

Human Resources Officer (CHRO) usually take part in the meetings in an advisory capacity. 
The Deputy Vice President Total Rewards and member(s) of the external executive 
compensation consultancy attend the compensation topics of the meetings, excluding 
parts where their own compensation and/or performance are being discussed.

end of the BoD Chair/CEO dual role at the end of March 2021. The LID role is specifically 
designed to ensure the independent decision-making of the BoD based on sound separation 
of duties between the BoD (including its Chair) and the EC (including the CEO). It is 
equipped with competencies that are defined in the Organizational Regulations. The LID:
• Focuses on best corporate governance practices by the BoD, be it within the BoD or 
in its interaction with the CEO;
• Stays in regular contact with the BoD Chair between BoD meetings in case of 
important business developments;
• Chairs in matters related to the BoD Chair and in case of potential conflicts of 
interest of the BoD Chair, and leads communication content and measures related 
thereto, following alignment with the BoD;
• Calls for information from the CEO if the flow of information from the EC to the 
BoD does not meet the expectation for forming an independent opinion or if the flow 
of information is not transparent;
• Is available to respond to stakeholder engagement requests.
Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
The CEO manages dormakaba. He is responsible for all the things that are not allocated to 
other company bodies by law, by the 
 or by the Organizational 
Regulations. After consulting with the EC, the CEO submits the strategy, the long- and 
medium-term objectives, and the management guidelines for dormakaba to the BoD for 
approval. In response to a proposal by the CEO, the BoD decides on the annual budget and 
the medium-term plan, which covers a three-year period, individual projects, and the 
statutory and consolidated financial statements of dormakaba. The CEO submits 
recommendations to the NCC about personnel issues at the EC level. The CEO also makes 
proposals to the NCC regarding the remuneration of EC members (including allocation of 
shares from the share allocation plans). The CEO regularly reports to the BoD about 
business performance, anticipated important business issues and risks, and about key 
changes at the senior management level. BoD members may request and examine further 
information. The CEO must inform the BoD Chair immediately about any extraordinary 
developments.

Information from and control over the EC
The Management Information System of dormakaba works as follows: monthly, quarterly, 
semi-annual, and annual financial statements (balance sheet, income statement, and cash 
flow statement) are prepared based on the Group’s individual reporting units. These figures 
are consolidated for each region and function and for the Group as a whole. The financial 
figures are compared with the previous year and the budget. The achievability of the 
budget, which shows the first year of the medium-term plan for each reporting unit, is 
assessed against the monthly financial statements and in the form of monthly rolling 
forecasts. The CEO and CFO submit monthly written financial reports to the BoD about 
progress against the budget and comparisons with the previous year. At monthly meetings 
(monthly performance reviews), the regional and functional heads (Presidents, CMPO, 
COO, and CTO) inform the CEO and the CFO about business performance and notable 
events based on written reports about e.g. achievement of budget targets. At BoD 
meetings, a summary of these reports is discussed and assessed with the CEO and the 
CFO.
The financial part of the Management Information System is supplemented by semi-annual 
risk reports and annual compliance and sustainability reports.
Skills and expertise of the BoD
In line with the guideline of the Swiss Code of Best Practice for Corporate Governance for a 
well-balanced representation, the BoD members have a broad spectrum of educational 
background, professional skills and expertise, and personal qualities from a range of 
industries. In addition to age, gender, geographic, and tenure diversity, the BoD assesses its 
level of diversity based on a skills matrix established by its NCC.
The skills matrix includes the following professional skills/expertise:
• Executive leadership experience,
• Corporate governance/compliance skills,
• Strategic industry and technology skills,
• Financial skills,
• Digital business model experience,
The assessment is done based on the two top skills of each BoD member as well as several 
personal attributes.
All required competencies are represented in the BoD, with emphasis on executive 
leadership experience, corporate governance, compliance, strategic industry, and 
technology skills (each with 45% occurrence), followed by financial skills (35%) and digital 
business model experience (20%). With the proposal of the BoD that Kenneth Lochiatto 
and Michael Regelski be elected as new members of the BoD, the BoD intends to further 
increase the specific industry and technology know- how. With the proposal to elect Svein 
Richard Brandtzæg as a new member, the BoD also further strengthens its expertise with a 
very experienced and reputed business leader and former CEO. The BoD plans to propose 
women for later BoD changes, the first one in 2023, to (re-)increase gender diversity within 
the BoD.

The NCC annually reviews the composition of the BoD and its committees based on the 
abovementioned characteristics of its members as well as on dormakaba’s strategy,

AGM.
Events after balance sheet date
On 1 August 2022, dormakaba signed an agreement to acquire Alldoorco based in Nijkerk 
(Netherlands). Alldoorco is a well-known company specializing in the maintenance, repair, 
and new installation of industrial door systems. With its high level of technical expertise in

Management philosophy
dormakaba acts through customer-centric regions and sales organizations for its Access 
Solutions (AS) business, supported by global functions to secure efficiencies of scale and to 
capture business synergies in product development, product management, and operations. 
The corresponding management organization is based on decentralized responsibility 
where appropriate and therefore rapid decision-making structures situated close to local

efficiency. This helps to keep activities focused on the customer. Further global corporate 
functions such as Strategy, Finance, Human Resources, IT, and Legal, define and monitor 
Group-wide standards. The CFO is responsible for the Group’s financial affairs as well as 
other Corporate functions such as Investor Relations. The Regional Presidents are 
responsible for sales generation and services within their geography. The CMPO and the 
CTO focus on productivity and scale with a global R&D and product pipeline able to fulfill 
local market needs. The COO ensures factory network optimization with lean 
manufacturing and optimized direct and indirect spend. The President KWS continues to 
have the entrepreneurial responsibility for this global segment, including product 
development, production, sales, and services.

Corporate Governance
Section 35 of the 
 of dormakaba Holding AG states that according 
to the transfer agreement (called transfer agreement), which was concluded on 29 April 
2015 related to the combination of Kaba Group and Dorma Group, if there is a change of 
control of dormakaba Holding AG, the Mankel/Brecht-Bergen Family has the right to buy 
back a 2.6% stake in dormakaba Holding GmbH + Co. KGaA and dormakaba Beteiligungs-
GmbH in order to regain control (50.1%) of these companies. A change of control of 
dormakaba Holding AG happens if a third party (i) holds 33⅓% or more of the voting rights 
in dormakaba Holding AG in shares, (ii) holds 33⅓% or more of the voting rights in 
dormakaba Holding AG in purchase positions and the responsible Swiss authority has 
decided with legal effect that a mandatory offer has been triggered, or (iii) publishes the 
end result of a voluntary offer which, when completed, will give it at least 33⅓% of the 
voting rights of dormakaba Holding AG. The Mankel/Brecht-Bergen Family can only 
exercise the rights pursuant to the transfer agreement if dormakaba Holding AG receives a 
written statement of assurance that (i) nobody associated with the Mankel/Brecht-Bergen 
Family supports the change of control or has ever been involved in it, and (ii) the Mankel/
Brecht-Bergen Family holds a stake of at least 47.5% of dormakaba Holding GmbH + Co. 
KGaA and dormakaba Beteiligungs-GmbH. The price according to the transfer agreement 
is based on the market price or nominal value of the shares and in the former case is 
calculated using a fixed formula agreed by the parties in the transfer agreement. Under 
certain conditions and for a specific period of time, dormakaba Holding AG has the right to 
buy back the said 2.6% stakes. The transfer agreement is annulled if the Mankel/Brecht-
Bergen Family’s stake in dormakaba falls below 25%. Approval of the transfer agreement 
can be cancelled by resolution of the General Meeting. Such a decision to cancel must be 
taken (i) following the publication of a public takeover offer to acquire all of the 
outstanding shares of dormakaba Holding AG and before the end of the offer period and 
(ii) with a majority of at least 50% of the votes represented. The transfer agreement and 
its performance were declared valid under takeover law by the Swiss Takeover Board on 22 
April 2015.
Articles of Incorporation
The transfer agreement is available for shareholders to inspect at the dormakaba Holding 
AG’s head office.
General trading blackout periods
According to dormakaba's Insider Trading Directive, members of the BoD and the EC and 
other employees who have access to material non-public information are designated as 
Insiders and are banned from trading in dormakaba Holding AG securities and any related 
financial instruments during general blackout periods. There were no exceptions to this rule 
in the financial year 2021/22.
dormakaba's general blackout periods last from June 15 until (and including) two SIX Swiss 
Exchange trading days after the publication of dormakaba's annual financial statements 
as well as from December 15 until (and including) two SIX Swiss Exchange trading days 
after the publication of dormakaba's semi-annual financial statements.

Compensation Report
Introductory notes from the 
Compensation Committee
dormakaba posted strong growth despite external headwinds for financial year 2021/22. 
Growth was most pronounced in the Regions Asia Pacific and Americas, but also good in 
Europe & Africa. In Key & Wall Solutions, growth picked up in the second half-year as 
Movable Walls started to convert part of its Covid-related project backlog into sales. 
External headwinds such as shortages of electronic components, labor, and building 
materials in general prevented even better growth.
dormakaba increased net sales by 10.3% to CHF 2,756.9 million in 2021/22 (previous year: 
CHF 2,499.7 million), organic sales increased by 7.7%. Adjusted EBITDA increased by 2.8% to 
CHF 372.3 million (previous year: CHF 362.0 million), whereas the adjusted EBITDA margin 
at 13.5% was below the previous year’s level of 14.5%. Net profit at CHF 122.5 million 
(previous year: CHF 193.3 million) was impacted by the divestment of the Mesker business 
(CHF 61.4 million) mainly due to the recycling of goodwill (for more information please see 
the 
) in mid-June 2022 as well as expenses 
linked to the implementation of the new strategy Shape4Growth.
Consolidated Financial Statements, chapter 4.3
The Board of Directors has decided to exclude the effect for Mesker in the dividend payout 
calculation because the transaction has no material impact on the company’s cash flow. 
Consequently, the BoD also decided to exclude the Mesker effect from the management 
compensation.
The Nomination and Compensation Committee (NCC) performed its regular activities 
throughout the financial year, such as the propositions of compensation for the members 
of the BoD and EC, as well as the preparation of the Compensation Report and the binding 
say-on-pay votes at the AGM.
The NCC periodically reviews the BoD compensation program to ensure market 
competitiveness and appropriate fit for the company. During the past financial year, the 
NCC conducted a new benchmark analysis of BoD compensation levels based on a revised 
peer group. As a result of this analysis, the NCC recommended a reduction in the annual 
retainer for the Board Chair role. This change takes effect during the term of office 
starting with the AGM 2022. No other changes will be made to the BoD compensation 
program. More information is provided later in this report.
In addition, as announced in the 2020/21 Compensation Report, the NCC conducted a 
thorough review of the compensation program to ensure that it remains aligned with the 
strategic direction of the company in the context of the new strategy Shape4Growth for 
the period 2022 to 2027. Further to this analysis, the NCC decided to implement several 
changes to the incentive programs, which apply to EC members and will come into effect 
as of the financial year 2022/23:
• Short-term incentive (STI): a target-based approach will replace the current profit-
share approach. A target STI amount will be determined for each EC member 
(corresponding to the amount to be paid if all performance objectives are met) and 
will be multiplied by a performance factor between 0% and 200% based on the 
achievement of the pre-defined performance objectives. The performance objectives 
will include organic sales growth, unadjusted EBITDA margin, and ROCE/NWC at 
Group and/or regional or business level (for EC members responsible for a Region or 
Key and Wall Solutions) and may include clearly measurable functional objectives (for 
EC members responsible for a Function);
• Long-term incentive (LTI): the LTI grant size will be determined as a monetary 
amount based on the organizational level of the role instead of the current set of 
criteria.
Further details on these changes can be found in the
 at the end of this Compensation Report.

Compensation Report
At the upcoming AGM, our shareholders will be asked to prospectively approve the 
aggregate maximum amounts of compensation of the BoD for the period until the 
following AGM and of the EC for the financial year 2023/24. Further, our shareholders will 
have the opportunity to express their opinion about our compensation system and the 
compensation awarded to the BoD and to the EC by way of a consultative vote on the 
Compensation Report 2021/22.
At the AGM 2021, binding votes were conducted on the aggregate maximum compensation 
amounts for the BoD and for the EC, as well as a consultative vote on the Compensation 
Report. The shareholders approved the maximum compensation amounts for both the BoD 
and the EC with approval rates of 98%, and the consultative vote on the Compensation 
Report received an approval rate of 87%. This positive voting outcomes show that the 
active dialogue engaged with investors was fruitful and that shareholders endorse the 
compensation system in place at dormakaba. We would like to thank investors for their 
trust and support.
The NCC trusts that this Compensation Report is informative and would like to thank our 
shareholders for their valuable feedback on our approach to executive compensation.

Performance in financial year 2021/22
dormakaba posted strong growth despite external headwinds for financial year 2021/22. 
Organic sales growth was at 7.7% and above the guidance range of 3% to 5%. The strong 
organic growth and associated higher volumes were also reflected in a higher adjusted 
EBITDA, which excludes items affecting comparability. Adjusted EBITDA increased by 2.8% 
and amounted to CHF 372.3 million (previous year: CHF 362.0 million). The adjusted EBITDA 
margin was below guidance at 13.5% (previous year: 14.5%), impacted by shortages of 
electronic components, labor, and building materials as well as by accelerated inflation 
which could only partly be compensated with price increases. Items affecting comparability 
were at CHF -88.6 million on EBIT (previous year: CHF -9.3 million) and mainly related to 
the Mesker divestment in June 2022 and the strategy preparation and implementation.
Net profit was CHF 122.5 million (previous year: CHF 193.3 million). Excluding the effect of 
the divestment of the Mesker including tax and foreign currencies (CHF 61.4 million), the 
underlying net profit was CHF 183.9 million (a year-on-year decrease of 4.9%).
Compensation governance
• The NCC supports the BoD with matters related to the compensation of the BoD 
and of the EC.
• Shareholders approve the maximum compensation amounts of the BoD and of the 
EC. Further, they also express their opinion on the compensation system through a

Compensation Report
The NCC meets as often as business requires but at least once a year. Number of meetings 
held and attendance details, incl. participation of members of executive management and 
external advisors, are provided in the Corporate Governance Report.
The NCC Chair reports to the BoD after each meeting on the activities of the committee. 
The minutes of the committee’s meetings are available to the BoD members.
The NCC may decide to consult external advisors on specific compensation matters. Agnès 
Blust Consulting, a company specialized in executive compensation in Swiss listed 
companies, has been appointed to provide independent advice on specific compensation 
and governance matters. While Agnès Blust Consulting did not have any other mandates 
with dormakaba at the time of providing its services, it has become part of 
PricewaterhouseCoopers since April 2022. PricewaterhouseCoopers is the current auditing 
firm of dormakaba, and there are clear rules in place to comply with the independence 
requirements of auditing firms, which have been implemented with effect of the 
transaction.
Shareholders’ involvement
The BoD values the dialogue with shareholders and wants to know and understand their 
views on executive compensation. In this context, the BoD has held an annual consultative 
vote on the Compensation Report from financial year 2012/13 onwards. This vote allows 
shareholders to express their opinion on the compensation policy and systems applicable to 
the BoD and the EC. Since the AGM 2015, the BoD also seeks an annual prospective binding 
approval from shareholders of the maximum aggregate amount of compensation of the 
BoD and the maximum aggregate amounts of fixed and variable compensation of the EC.
The Articles of Incorporation include the principles of compensation applicable to the BoD 
and to the EC. Those provisions can be found 
 and include:
online
• Principles of compensation of the Board of Directors (Article 23);
• Principles of compensation of the Executive Committee (Article 24);
• Binding vote at the AGM (Article 22);
• Additional amount for new members of the Executive Committee (Article 25);
• Agreements with members of the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee, 
notice periods for the members of the Executive Committee (Article 26);
• Credits and loans to members of the Board of Directors and Executive Committee 
(Article 28).

Compensation Report
Compensation architecture for the 
BoD
BoD members only receive fixed compensation based on the responsibilities and time 
requirement of their function, without any entitlement to performance-related 
compensation. This ensures that the BoD remains independent while exercising its 
supervisory duties towards the EC. The amount of compensation for each function of the 
BoD is determined annually considering the market compensation trends and comparisons 
with other listed Swiss industrial companies which operate internationally.
In the last financial year, the BoD reviewed the composition of the peer group that is the 
basis for the BoD compensation benchmark and decided to revise the peer group based on 
the following criteria: median market capitalization, annual sales, business model, industry, 
and compensation practices. Companies in the previous peer group with significantly 
different market capitalization levels were reviewed and replaced. The revised peer group 
consists of the following eleven companies: Bucher Industries, Clariant, Forbo, Georg 
Fischer, Landis+Gyr, OC Oerlikon, SFS Group, SIG Combibloc, Stadler Rail, Sulzer, and 
Tecan. Subsequent to the peer group revision, a benchmarking analysis was conducted by 
PwC. The results of the analysis showed that the overall compensation of the BoD was 
mostly in line with the benchmark except for the compensation of the BoD Chair.
In consideration of the outcome of the analysis, the NCC proposed to the BoD to reduce 
the compensation of the BoD Chair by CHF 45,000 to CHF 635,000 (previously: CHF 
680,000). Of this amount, CHF 335,000 will be paid in cash and CHF 300’000 in restricted 
shares (following the same ratio of cash and share compensation as other BoD members). 
This adjustment takes effect for the term of office starting with the AGM 2022 and brings 
the BoD Chair compensation within the benchmark range, aligned with the principle to 
position fees for board and committee chairs above the market median, considering 
the above average level of responsibility and workload for these particular roles at 
dormakaba.
Compensation for other BoD members will remain unchanged.
1. Composition of compensation
The basic compensation paid to the members of the BoD comprises a cash payment and a 
grant of restricted shares of dormakaba Holding AG. The BoD Chair receives basic 
compensation of CHF 680,000, consisting of CHF 360,000 paid in cash and CHF 320,000 
in restricted shares. The other members of the BoD receive basic compensation of 
CHF 190,000, consisting of CHF 100,000 in cash and CHF 90,000 in restricted shares. 
Additional fees are paid in cash for specific functions such as committee chair and/or 
committee member of the BoD or for performing special additional tasks assigned by the 
BoD. In line with legal requirements, the BoD Chair is insured in the company’s pension 
fund. Both the employee and employer portions of the annual contributions are borne by 
the BoD Chair himself, therefore no pension cost is paid by the company.
The compensation system and levels are documented in the BoD compensation directive 
and are summarized in the table below.

Compensation Report
The members of the BoD may decide to receive part of the cash payment in the form of 
shares of the company. The number of shares awarded is calculated using the average 
closing share price for the last five trading days of the last month of the relevant 
compensation period. The awarded shares are restricted for a period of three years; this 
blocking period remains in place if a member leaves the BoD. In addition, a shareholding 
ownership guideline is in place, requiring Board members to hold a minimum of 500 shares 
of dormakaba within three years after their election to the BoD.
Compensation is paid on a pro rata basis to Board members twice a year. For the term of 
office from the AGM 2021 until the AGM 2022, the first compensation period ended on 
30 April 2022, the second will end on 31 October 2022. Actual expenses incurred are only 
reimbursed for travel and journeys outside Switzerland or as caused by special additional 
tasks performed on behalf of and assigned by the BoD.
2. Assessment of actual compensation paid to the BoD in the financial 
year 2021/22
The actual compensation paid to the BoD for the financial year 2021/22 increased 
compared to the previous year (+21%) mainly because of the BoD Chair receiving 
compensation for the full reporting year (previous year only from April to the AGM in 
October).
At the AGM 2021, the shareholders approved a maximum aggregate amount of 
CHF 3,200,000 for the BoD for the compensation period from the AGM 2021 until the AGM 
2022. The compensation effectively paid for the portion of this term of office included in 
this Compensation Report (October 2021 – 30 June 2022) is within the limit approved by 
the shareholders. A conclusive assessment for the entire period will be included in the 
Compensation Report 2022/23.
At the AGM 2020, the shareholders approved a maximum aggregate amount of 
CHF 2,940,000 for the BoD for the compensation period from the AGM 2020 until the 
AGM 2021. The compensation effectively paid was CHF 2,388,333 and is within the limit 
approved by the shareholders.
As of 30 June 2022, in compliance with the 
 no loans or credits 
were granted to current or former BoD members, or parties closely related to them. 
Investments held by BoD members or related persons (including conversion and option 
rights) – if any – are listed

Compensation Report
Compensation architecture for the 
EC
The compensation awarded to EC members is primarily driven by the success of the 
company. In addition to competitive fixed compensation, there is a performance-related 
component, which rewards for performance and allows EC members to participate in the 
company’s long-term value creation. The overall compensation consists of the following 
elements:
• Annual base salary;
• Benefits (such as retirement benefits);
• Short-term incentive;
• Long-term incentive (share-based compensation).
To ensure consistency across the organization, roles within the organization have been 
evaluated using the job grading methodology of Korn Ferry Hay Group. The grading system 
is the basis for compensation activities such as benchmarking and determination of 
compensation structure and levels. For comparative purposes, dormakaba refers to 
external compensation studies that are conducted regularly by Korn Ferry Hay Group in 
most countries. Overall, these studies include the compensation data of 2,500 technology 
and industrial companies, including listed and privately held competitors in the security 
sector that are comparable with dormakaba in terms of annual revenues, number of 
employees, and complexity in the relevant national or regional markets. Consequently, there 
is no predefined peer group of companies that is used globally. Rather, the benchmark 
companies vary from country to country based on the database of Korn Ferry Hay Group. 
For the CEO role, the following companies were included in the last benchmark analysis 
conducted in the financial year 2018/19 covering Swiss listed industrial companies of similar 
size in terms of market capitalization, revenue, and number of employees: Autoneum, 
Bucher Industries, EMS Chemie, Geberit, Georg Fischer, Landis+Gyr, Logitech, Lonza, OC 
Oerlikon, Sonova, and Sulzer.
As a principle, the compensation paid to the EC members must be based on the market 
median in the relevant national or regional market and must be within a range of –20% to 
+35% of this figure. The variable component of compensation (= short- and long-term 
incentives) is targeted to make up for at least 50% of the overall compensation.
1. Annual base salary
EC members receive an annual base salary for fulfilling their role. It is based on the 
following factors:
• Content, responsibilities, and complexity of the function;
• External market value of the respective role: amount paid for comparable positions in 
the industrial sector in the country where the member works;
• Individual profile in terms of skill set, experience, and seniority.

2. Benefits
As the EC is international in its nature, the members participate in the benefits plans 
available in their country of employment. Benefits mainly consist of retirement, insurance, 
and healthcare plans that are designed to provide a reasonable level of protection for the 
participants and their dependents in respect to the events of retirement, disability, death, 
and illness/accident. The EC members with a Swiss employment contract participate in the 
occupational pension plans offered to all employees in Switzerland, which consist of a basic 
pension fund and a supplementary plan for management positions. The benefits offered by 
the pension fund of dormakaba in Switzerland are in line with benefits provided by other 
Swiss multinational industrial companies.
EC members under foreign employment contracts are insured commensurately with 
market conditions and with their position. Each plan varies in line with the local competitive 
and legal environment and is, as a minimum, in accordance with the legal requirements of 
the respective country.
Further, EC members are also provided with certain executive perquisites, such as company 
car or car allowance, representation allowance, and other benefits in kind according to 
competitive market practice in their country of employment.
3. Variable compensation
The variable compensation consists of a short-term incentive (STI) and a long-term 
incentive (LTI).
3.1 Short-term incentive
The short-term incentive is defined annually as a cash payment and aims to motivate the 
participants to meet and exceed the company’s financial objectives, which are defined in 
line with the Group’s strategy. Pursuant to the 
 the short-term 
incentive may not exceed 150% of the individual annual base salary for the EC members 
(cap).
Articles of Incorporation,
Following the “We are ONE company” principle, the individual short-term incentive paid to 
the EC members is strictly based on financial objectives and not on individual goals. For the 
financial year 2021/22, the incentive formula relates exclusively to Group results in support 
of the Group-wide implementation of the Shape4Growth strategy. The business results are 
compared to the previous year’s results to drive a continuous improvement of the business 
achievements, year after year.
The incentive formula is built around the principle of paying a predefined share of profit 
individually determined for each function, which is additionally modified by sales growth 
and net working capital (NWC) multipliers aiming to further strengthen the accountability 
for the efficient use of the company’s financial resources and a growth-driven value 
creation.

dormakaba
Annual Report 2021/22

Compensation Report
The STI formula is illustrated below:
1) due to his transition, the STI of the CMPO will be evaluated based on the criteria set for the former COOs
The predefined share of profit is expressed as a percentage of Group net income. The 
growth multiplier is a combination of the company’s net income growth (capped at 1.6 in 
case of substantial growth) and the Group sales growth (capped at 1.4). The net working 
capital (NWC) multiplier depends on the Group change of net working capital compared to 
previous year and is capped at 1.4 in of case of substantial reduction of net working capital. 
The sales booster is based on the achievement of an absolute sales growth target and is 
capped at 1.1.
This formula is aligned to the business strategy of profitable growth because it rewards for 
bottom-line (Group net income) as well as top-line results (sales growth) and efficient 
management of the company’s financial resources.
The calculation of the short-term incentive is based – just as the audited financial 
statements of the Group – on the actual figures recorded in the financial reporting system. 
For the relevant financial year, the Group net income was adjusted to reflect the impact of 
the sale of Mesker in the United States for the purpose of calculating the short-term 
incentive.
3.2 Long-term incentive
The purpose of the long-term incentive is to give the EC an ownership interest in 
dormakaba and a participation in the long-term performance of the company and thus to 
align their interests to those of the shareholders.
As of the grant of September 2021, the long-term incentive is delivered fully in performance 
share units. Therefore, at the beginning of the plan cycle (grant date), EC members are 
awarded performance share units of dormakaba based on the following criteria:
•
typical grant size of long-term incentive for a similar function in 
the relevant market and positioning of the individual’s total direct compensation 
compared to that benchmark. Total direct compensation includes fixed base salary 
plus short-term incentive plus allocation under the long-term incentive plan.
External benchmark: 
•
measured against predefined priorities in the financial year 
prior to the grant, as documented within the performance management process. The 
long-term incentive is the only compensation program that takes into consideration 
the individual performance of the EC members. For each member, a list of individual 
strategic priorities is determined before the start of each financial year based on the 
mid-term plan of the Group, market/segment, or function. At the end of each 
financial year, the individual performance of the member is measured against those 
strategic priorities and will be considered for the determination of the grant size of 
the long-term incentive in the following financial year.

•
 impact of the EC member's projects on the company's long-
term success.
Strategic importance:
•
desire to retain the person to the company and to its overall long-term 
value creation by offering restricted shares and performance share units subject to a 
three-year vesting period.
Retention: 
Based on the above criteria, the CEO formulates a proposal for long-term incentive awards 
of the individual EC members and other members of Senior Management, which is subject 
to approval by the Nomination and Compensation Committee (NCC). For the CEO, the 
NCC Chair formulates a proposal that is subject to the approval of the NCC. Pursuant to 
the Articles of Incorporation, the fair value of the long-term incentive at grant may not 
exceed 150% of the individual annual base salary for the EC members (cap).
The long-term incentive award is granted in the form of performance share units of 
dormakaba subject to a three-year performance-based vesting period. The award is 
designed to reward participants for the future performance of the earnings per share 
(EPS) and the relative TSR of the company over the three-year performance period. Both 
performance conditions are equally weighted at 50%. The vesting level may range from 0% 
to a maximum of 200% of the original number of units granted (maximum two shares for 
each performance share unit originally granted).
The relative TSR is measured relative to the SPI Industrials index: this index was selected as 
the performance benchmark because of the insufficient number of direct competitors of 
dormakaba that are publicly listed, which does not allow for a suitable customized peer 
group. Therefore, the SPI Industrials as an index of companies of comparable size listed on 
the SIX Swiss Exchange was the most appropriate alternative.
The EPS growth target is to outperform weighted GDP growth by 2% points.

Annual Report 2021/22

Compensation Report
The vesting formula for both performance indicators is illustrated below; there is no vesting 
below the threshold levels of performance:
The vesting formula has been designed in line with market practice for Swiss publicly traded 
companies to combine pay for performance compensation principles and reach alignment 
with the long-term shareholder interest. It has both challenging targets and no excessive 
leverage. To reach the target, the company needs to outperform half of the peers in 
respect of relative TSR and needs to outperform GDP growth by 2% points on the EPS 
condition. While there is no payout below the threshold levels of performance, a partial 
payout is still possible for a performance between the threshold and the target. On the 
other side, an extraordinary performance is required to reach the cap of 200%.
Performance share units are usually awarded annually in September. In case of voluntary 
termination by the participant or if a participant is terminated for cause, performance 
share units are forfeited without any compensation. In case of termination without cause 
or retirement, performance share units are subject to a pro rata vesting at the regular 
vesting date. In case of disability, death, or change of control, performance share units are 
subject to an accelerated pro rata vesting based on a performance assessment by the BoD 
(see also 
. The conditions for the award of performance 
share units are governed by the stock award plans of dormakaba.
Corporate Governance Report)
Shares awarded in reporting periods 2021/22 and 2020/21 have come from dormakaba 
treasury.
The long-term incentive awards have been subject to clawback and malus provisions since 
2019. In certain circumstances, such as in the case of financial restatement due to material 
non-compliance with financial reporting requirements or of fraudulent behavior or 
substantial willful misconduct, the BoD may decide to suspend the vesting or forfeit any 
granted long-term incentive award (malus provision) or to require the reimbursement of 
vested shares delivered under the long-term incentive (clawback provision).
4. Employment contracts
The EC members are employed under employment contracts of unlimited duration that are 
subject to a notice period of up to twelve months. EC members are not contractually 
entitled to sign-on awards, termination payments, or any change of control provisions other 
than the accelerated vesting and/or unblocking of share awards mentioned above. The 
employment contracts of the EC members may include post-employement non-
competition clauses for a duration of up to a maximum of two years. In cases where the 
company decides to activate the post-employement non-competition provisions, the 
compensation paid in connection with such non-competition provisions may not exceed the 
monthly base salary, or half of the total compensation, for a period of twelve months.
5. Shareholding ownership guideline
The EC members are required to own a minimum multiple of their annual base salary in 
dormakaba shares within five years of hire or promotion to the EC, as set out in the 
following table.

To calculate whether the minimum holding requirement is met, all vested shares are 
considered, regardless of whether they are restricted or not. However, unvested 
performance share units are excluded from the calculation. The NCC reviews compliance 
with the share ownership guideline on an annual basis. In the event of a substantial rise or 
drop in the share price, the BoD may, at its discretion, review the minimum ownership 
requirement.

6. Assessment of actual compensation paid to the EC in the financial 
year 2021/22
In comparison to the previous year, total direct compensation (TDC) of the EC decreased 
by 10%. There are several factors that impacted the level of actual compensation paid to 
the EC in the 2021/22 financial year, which are summarized below.
•
 Jim-Heng Lee was appointed CEO on 1 January 2022, 
succeeding Sabrina Soussan, who stepped down from her role as of 31 December 
2021. Andy Jones was appointed to the role of President Asia Pacific on 12 January 
2022, succeeding Jim-Heng Lee, and became a member of the EC. Mathias Mörtl 
joined the EC per 1 December 2021 as COO, a position newly created under the new 
strategy Shape4Growth. Bernd Brinker stepped down as CFO as per 31 March 2022 
and was succeeded by Kaspar Kelterborn, who took up his responsibilities as interim 
CFO as of 1 April 2022 and who receives no variable compensation.
Changes in EC composition:
•
 For two EC members, the target base salaries were adjusted by 
overall 5% in local currency to bring them in line with market requirements.
Base salary changes:
•
 the STI payout formula is based on performance compared to previous 
year (and not on the achievement of budgeted targets). The STI payout of the CEO 
and EC members especially reflects the development of Group net income, which is 
the main driver of the STI payout and which decreased in respect to the prior year by 
4.9% (excluding the effect of the divestment of the Mesker business in June 2022). In 
the reporting year, the STI payout of EC members is 71% of the annual base salary on 
average (previous year: 96%). A payout of 99% of annual base salary (on average) for 
the EC members corresponds to the level of originally expected performance for the 
financial year 2021/22.
STI payout:
•
 to determine the individual grant size (nominal value), 
the allocation criteria in place for several years (described under 
), such as 
individual performance in the previous year, the strategic importance of the projects 
under responsibility, position against benchmark and retention need were considered. 
Based on those factors, the LTI grant size of five EC members, was increased and the 
LTI grant size for one EC member was decreased compared to the previous year. For 
other EC members, the LTI grant size remained unchanged compared to the previous 
year. For three EC members no LTI award was granted in September 2021, as they 
joined the EC after the relevant date. The strategic priorities of the CEO for financial 
year 2020/21 (considered for determining the grant size in the reporting year) are 
detailed below:

1) This information is disclosed in summarized form for confidentiality reasons.
The performance share units granted under the long-term incentive in September 2018 
vested in September 2021 based on the EPS growth and the rTSR ranking over the three-
year vesting period at a vesting level of 79.87%. The share price at vesting amounted to 
CHF 660.50 compared to CHF 680.50 at grant.
Variable compensation forms a major part of total direct compensation (TDC). The 
percentage of overall compensation paid to the EC as variable compensation in the 
reporting year was 55% (excluding benefits and social security contributions) and 
decreased (previous year: 67%) due to a decrease predominantly in STI payout. Variable 
equity-based compensation (excluding new joining and leaving EC members) accounted for

strategy to award 30% or more of total compensation in equity-based compensation by 
applying increases primarily in the long-term incentive component rather than in the other 
compensation elements.
The table below represents the pay mix of the CEO and EC in relation to total direct 
compensation (excluding benefits and social security).

At the AGM 2020, the shareholders approved a maximum aggregate amount of 
CHF 16,500,000 for the EC for the financial year 2021/22. The compensation effectively 
awarded of CHF 11,162,842 is within the limit approved by the shareholders.
As of 30 June 2022, in compliance with the 
 no loans or credits 
were granted by dormakaba to current or former EC members, or parties closely related to 
them. Investments held by EC members or related persons (including conversion and option 
rights) – if any – are listed

New Compensation Architecture
In the context of the strategic review that was initiated in 2021 for the period 2022 to 2027, 
the NCC has conducted a thorough review of the compensation program in financial year 
2021/22 to ensure that it remains aligned with the strategic direction of the company, while 
continuing to drive performance, motivation, and behaviors that are aligned with the values 
of dormakaba. In line with the new business strategy Shape4Growth and related operating 
model, the current human capital context and the shareholder feedback received asking for 
more transparency, and a stronger pay-for-performance link, the NCC decided to 
implement several changes to the incentive programs, which will come into effect as of the 
2022/23 financial year:
• Short-term incentive (STI): a target-based approach will replace the current profit-
share approach. A target STI amount - corresponding to the amount to be paid if all 
performance objectives are met - will be determined for each EC member and will be 
multiplied by a performance factor between 0% and 200% based on the 
achievement of the pre-defined performance objectives. The performance objectives 
will include organic sales growth, unadjusted EBITDA margin, and ROCE/NWC at 
Group and/or regional or business level (for EC members responsible for a Region or 
Key & Wall Solutions) and clearly measurable functional objectives (for EC members 
responsible for a Function);
• Long-term incentive (LTI): the LTI grant size will be determined as a monetary 
amount based on the organizational level of the role instead of the current set of 
criteria.
Short-term incentive (STI)
The current STI model based on a predefined share of profit will be replaced by a target-
based system as of the financial year 2022/23: A target STI amount will be determined for 
each EC member, corresponding to the amount to be paid if all performance objectives are 
met (100% achievement). The CEO and CFO will be measured 100% on Group 
performance. The performance of Regional Presidents and KWS as well as Global 
Functions will be measured based on the Group performance (60%) and the performance 
of the own Region or Function (40%):

Compensation Report
*not adjusted for items affecting com parability
At the beginning of the financial year, the NCC sets a threshold, target, and maximum level 
of achievement for each performance objective. At the end of the financial year, the actual 
achievement is compared with the objectives that were set at the beginning of the period. 
The level of achievement for each objective determines a payout factor for each objective, 
and the respective payout factors are then summed up to determine an overall payout 
factor. The overall STI payout can range from 0% to 200% of the target STI amount.
The STI is paid in cash in the following financial year.
Long-term incentive (LTI)
Effective with the annual LTI grant planned for September 2023, the determination of the 
individual grant amounts will no longer depend on a set of criteria including individual 
performance, and strategic and retention needs. The grant size will be based on a 
monetary amount determined based on the organizational level of the role and the market 
data for the respective role.
No further changes to the design of the LTI will be made. The awards will continue to be 
fully granted in performance share units subject to a three-year vesting period and 
conditional upon the achievement of two equally weighted performance criteria: relative 
TSR and EPS growth. The vesting level will still range from 0% to a maximum of 200% of 
the original number of units granted (maximum two shares for each performance share 
unit originally granted).

1) Compensation for the employer representative on the Swiss pension fund (Karina Dubs-Kuenzle) of CHF 10,000 p.a. and compensation for the 
membership of the Supervisory Board of dormakaba Holding GmbH + Co. KGaA (Hans Gummert) of CHF 63,023 are included in the compensation 
(additional compensation). Business expenses are not included. For Hans Gummert the additional compensation is paid in EUR and remains stable vis-à-vis 
the previous year, however, fluctuates in CHF due to currency exchange.
2) In line with the Swiss legal requirements under the respective law (BVG), the Chair of the Board is insured in the company pension fund. The employer cost 
of the pension benefits are deducted from the cash board fee disclosed above. The Chair of the Board is hence financing both the employee and employer 
contributions to the pension fund via a deduction on the cash board fee so that the insurance in the pension fund is cost-neutral to the company.
3) The compensation for the reporting period is paid out in three installments (November 2021, May 2022, and November 2022). Shares are awarded based 
on a fixed monetary amount of CHF 90,000 for the Board members. The average of the closing share prices of the last five trading days in the month 
prior to the payment is used to determine the number of shares allocated (CHF 677.40 for the shares transferred in November 2021 and CHF 446.20 for 
the shares transferred in May 2022).

capacity as the CEO and Chair of the Board, he did not receive any compensation for his role as the Chair of the Board. Compensation for the employer 
representative on the Swiss pension fund (Karina Dubs-Kuenzle) of CHF 20,000 p.a. and compensation for the membership of the Supervisory Board of 
dormakaba Holding GmbH + Co. KGaA (Hans Gummert) of CHF 65,119 are included in the compensation (additional compensation). Business expenses are

1) Includes contributions to social security and occupational pension plans as well as fringe benefits. Contributions to social security and occupational pension 
plans are the contributions effectively paid in the reporting year and relate to the fixed and variable compensation effectively paid out in the reporting 
year. Fringe benefits include elements such as private use of company car, company car allowance, service anniversary, housing contributions, and one-time 
relocation allowances for two new EC members to facilitate their relocation following their appointment to the EC role. Fringe benefits amount to CHF 
61,817 for the former CEO, to CHF 30,440 for the new CEO and CHF 436,069 for the other EC members.
2) The short-term incentive reported will be paid after the end of the reporting year.
3) The total grant value of the LTI includes CHF 751,608 in restricted shares and CHF 2,012,114 in performance share units (PSU). The fair value on the grant 
date is CHF 584 per restricted share. The value of the PSUs is based on their fair value on the grant date which includes adjustments for lost dividends 
during the vesting period and the TSR performance conditions.
4) In accordance with his employment contract from 2011, the former CEO receives a guaranteed allocation of 550 shares (worth CHF 337,750) which are 
blocked for three years. These shares are not yet included in the shares held as of 30 June 2021 as listed in the table ’Shares held by BoD and EC’ as they 
were not yet allocated by the end of the financial year (grant date of 1 September 2021). However, they have been included in the long-term incentive 
compensation figure with a share price of CHF 614.09 (average closing price of May/June 2021).
5) In line with the contractual agreement in place which foresee a partial forfeiture of PSU, CHF 527,086 of the award granted to the CEO in September 
2020 forfeits.
6) The replacement award in equity relating to the forfeited compensation at the previous employer for the new CEO is not included in the compensation 
table. The replacement award amounts to CHF 619,583 in restricted shares and CHF 631,583 in PSU granted at the hiring date on 1 January 2021. The 
shares are subject to a blocking period of 8 months, 1 year and 8 months, and 2 years and 8 months, respectively. The PSU are subject to a vesting period of 
8 months, 1 year and 8 months, and 2 years and 8 months, respectively, based on the EPS and rTSR performance conditions used in the dormakaba LTI 
plan. The blocking period of the shares and the vesting period of the PSU mirror the restriction periods of the outstanding plans at dormakaba (LTI grants 
2018, 2019 and 2020, vesting in 2021, 2022 and 2023, respectively) and broadly reflect those of the forfeited awards at the previous employer.

1) In 2021/22: proposal to the Annual General Meeting; distribution of an equal share from the reserves from capital contributions and from statutory 
retained earnings.
2) As from 2020/21, adjusted EBIT and adjusted EBITDA were introduced. Details of the alternative performance measures are disclosed in note 5.1.
3) As from 2018/19, the definition of the net working capital was aligned with the internal and the segment reporting. In order to enable a fair comparison 
with the current-year data, all previous year information has been adjusted. dormakaba defines net working capital as trade receivables plus inventories, 
minus the sum of trade payables, advances from customers, and deferred income.
