Notes to the Annual Financial Statements


of Deutsche Post AG

Basis of presentation
1. Disclosures identifying Deutsche Post AG, whose registered office is in Bonn, is entered in commercial
the corporation register B of the Bonn Local Court under number 6792.

2. Basis of accounting Deutsche Post AG (DPAG) is a large corporation within the meaning of Section 267
of the Handelsgesetzbuch (HGB – German Commercial Code). The annual financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, were prepared in accordance
with the accounting and reporting provisions of the HGB (Sections 238ff and 264ff
of the HGB) and of the Aktiengesetz (AktG – German Stock Corporation Act) (Sec-
tions 150–160 of the AktG).

As the parent company of DHL Group (formerly Deutsche Post DHL Group),
Deutsche Post AG prepares consolidated financial statements on the basis of the
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), in accordance with Section
315e(1) of the HGB as applicable in the European Union. For this reason, no con-
solidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the HGB.

The company prepares the consolidated financial statements for the largest
number of companies that are included in the consolidated financial statements.

The annual and consolidated financial statements are transmitted electronically to


the office maintaining the company register for entry in the company register and
are published in the company register.

The fiscal year is the calendar year.

3. Classification of the The total cost (type of expenditure) method was applied to the income statement.

income statement
To enhance the clarity of presentation, balance sheet and income statement
headings are shown in aggregated form; they are broken down and explained
separately in the notes.
10 Notes

Accounting policies
Application of the accounting policies detailed below was basically unchanged as against the previous year. Changes not
described in the accounting policies or the basis of presentation are explained in relation to the items in question.

4. Intangible assets The option under Section 248(2) of the HGB is exercised for internally generated
intangible assets. These have been recognized at cost (development cost) since
January 1, 2010, and are normally amortized using the straight-line method over
five years or their useful life, if longer.

Purchased intangible assets are carried at cost, including incidental costs of


acquisition, and reduced by straight-line amortization and write-downs. Write-
downs are recognized if the impairment is expected to be permanent. The useful
life is five years; this is reduced appropriately in the event of shorter contract
terms. For the purchase of software developed specifically for the company (not
standard software), amortization takes place over a period of five years or the
longer useful life.

Cost includes attributable direct costs from the consumption of goods and the
utilization of services, as well as an appropriate portion of indirect materials
and labor costs, and depreciation and amortization expenses attributable to the
development process. Borrowing costs are not capitalized.

5. Property, plant and Property, plant and equipment that is used for business operations for more than
equipment one year is carried at cost, including incidental costs of acquisition, and reduced
by straight-line depreciation.

In addition to direct costs, cost includes an appropriate share of indirect materials


and labor costs and depreciation and amortization expenses attributable to the
development process for the assets. Borrowing costs are not capitalized.

The following useful lives are applied:

Useful lives

Buildings 20 to 50 years

Technical equipment and machinery 10 to 25 years

IT systems 4 to 5 years

Other operating and office equipment 8 to 10 years

Low-value assets with original


5 years
cost of between € 250 and € 1,000
Notes 11

Additions to property, plant and equipment are depreciated ratably. Write-downs


are recognized if the net realizable values of individual assets are lower than their
carrying amounts and impairment is expected to be permanent.

Subsidies received are reported under deferred income and reversed over the
useful life of the property, plant and equipment.

An annual pooled item within the meaning of Section 6(2a) of the Einkommen-
steuergesetz (EStG – German Income Tax Act) is recognized for low-value assets
whose cost, net of any input tax contained in that amount, is more than €250
and up to €1,000. The annual pooled item is depreciated over five years through
the income statement. The item is not reduced if an item of operating assets is
disposed of before the end of the five-year period. Assets whose cost (net of any
input tax) is less than €250 are recognized in full as operating expenses in the
year of their acquisition.

6. Non-current Shares in affiliated companies, other equity investments and long-term securities
financial assets are carried at cost or, if their value is expected to be permanently impaired, at the
lower net realizable value. If the reasons for permanent impairment no longer
exist, the write-downs are reversed up to net realizable value, but not exceeding
original cost.

Shares and other equity investments in foreign affiliated companies that were
purchased in foreign currencies are translated at the acquisition date exchange
rate. If the currency risk of newly acquired companies was hedged, their carrying
amounts are translated at the hedging rate.

The cost of long-term loans at below-market interest rates or non-interest loans


corresponds to their present value on the grant date. Other loans are carried at
their principal amounts. Interest cost added back on discounted loans is reported
under additions.

7. Inventories Spare parts for conveyor and sorting systems at freight mail centers are report-
ed at fixed values as inventories; other consumables and supplies are carried at
moving or weighted average prices on the balance sheet date. Goods purchased
and held for resale are measured at cost or at moving average prices. Appropriate
valuation allowances are applied where necessary, with the strict principle of the
lower of cost or market being applied.

8. Receivables and Receivables and other assets are carried at their principal amounts less any specific
other assets valuation allowances.

The general risk of counterparty default is taken into account on the basis of past
experience using a general bad debt allowance.
12 Notes

9. Securities Securities classified as current assets are carried at cost or the lower net realizable
value as of the balance sheet date.

10. Cash and cash equivalents Bank balances, cash-in-hand and checks are carried at their nominal amounts.
Cash denominated in foreign currency is measured at the middle spot rate on the
reporting date.

11. Prepaid expenses Expenses incurred prior to the balance sheet date that represent expenses for a
specific period after that date are recognized as prepaid expenses.

The company exercises the option set out in Section 250(3) of the HGB and
recognizes discounts as assets.

Any difference between the settlement amount and the value on issuance of a
liability is included in prepaid expenses and amortized over the term of the liability.

12. Equity Subscribed capital is carried at its nominal amount.

The conversion right as an equity component of the convertible bond is recog-


nized in capital reserves.

13. Provisions Provisions are recognized at the settlement amount dictated by prudent business
judgment. Other provisions with a remaining maturity of more than one year
are discounted at the average market interest rate for the preceding seven fiscal
years corresponding to their remaining maturity.

Provisions for pensions and similar obligations are recognized on the basis of
actuarial reports. They are measured using the projected unit credit method.
These provisions are calculated using the 2018 G tables created by Prof. Dr. Klaus
Heubeck. Increases in wages and pensions and staff turnover are taken into
account. The provisions are recognized at their settlement amount, which reflects
discounting at the average market interest rate for the preceding ten years as
published by the Bundesbank. A remaining maturity of 15 years is assumed in
accordance with Section 253(2), sentence 2, of the HGB.

The company has exercised the option to recognize indirect pension obligations
as provisions as set out in Section 28(1) of the Einführungsgesetz zum Handels-
gesetzbuch (EGHGB – Introductory Act to the German Commercial Code).
Notes 13

For the addition to provisions for pensions arising from the measurement
requirements of the Bilanzrechtsmodernisierungsgesetz (BilMoG – German
Accounting Law Modernization Act) as of January 1, 2010, the option to allocate
this amount rateably over 15 years has been exercised. This annual addition is
reported in other operating expenses.

In accordance with Section 246(2), sentence 2, of the HGB, assets that are not
accessible to any other creditors and that may only be used to meet liabilities
from pension obligations or similar long-term obligations are recognized at fair
value as plan assets and offset against corresponding provisions.

If the fair value of the plan assets exceeds their cost, the excess amount is subject
to a restriction on distribution in accordance with Section 268(8) of the HGB.

Offsetting in accordance with Section 246(2), sentence 2, of the HGB also applies
to working time accounts financed by employees deferring a portion of their salary
as well as to salary sacrifice for the purpose of a company pension plan. The
accounts are classified as externally funded obligations. The value of the pro­
visions depends on the changes in value of the plan assets that are to be funded
by Deutsche Post AG and that are measured at fair value.

Provisions for pensions also include pension obligations assumed under joint
liability arrangements with assumptions of obligations.

Provisions for taxes and other provisions are recognized in the amount required
to settle the obligation according to prudent business judgment. All discernible
risks are taken into account in an appropriate manner when measuring the pro­
visions. Provisions with a remaining maturity of more than one year are discounted
as of the reporting date using the discount rate published by Deutsche Bundes-
bank. The discount rate used is the average market rate for the past seven fiscal
years for the maturity concerned.

Deutsche Post AG has entered into partial retirement agreements with varying
terms and conditions; these are based both on the “block model” and on the “con-
tinuous reduced working hours model.” In addition, partial retirement allowances
are paid. Two types of obligations arise in this context; both are measured at their
present value in accordance with actuarial principles and are recognized separately
from each other.

14. Liabilities Liabilities are carried at their settlement amount. Where the redemption amount
of a liability is higher than the value on issuance, the difference is capitalized and
allocated over the term of the liability.

15. Deferred income Receipts prior to the balance sheet date that represent income for a specific
period after that date are recognized as deferred income.
14 Notes

16. Currency translation Foreign currency transactions are translated at the historical exchange rate as of
the date of initial recognition.

Balance sheet items are measured as follows:

Non-current foreign currency receivables are recognized at the offer rate when
the receivable is recognized or at the lower of cost or market using the middle
spot rate at the reporting date (principle of imparity). Current foreign currency
receivables (maturity of one year or less) and cash funds or other current foreign
currency assets are translated at the middle spot rate as of the balance sheet date.

Non-current foreign currency liabilities are recognized at the bid rate when the
liability is recognized or at the higher closing rate, using the middle spot rate at
the reporting date (principle of imparity). Current foreign currency liabilities (ma-
turity of one year or less) are translated at the middle spot rate as of the balance
sheet date.

The application of hedge accounting is explained in note 48.

17. Deferred taxes Deferred taxes are attributable to differences between the amounts recognized
for assets, liabilities, prepaid expenses and deferred income in the HGB financial
statements and in the tax accounts that will reverse in future periods. At
Deutsche Post AG, this covers both differences relating to the company’s own
balance sheet items and those relating to companies in its consolidated tax group in
which Deutsche Post AG holds an equity interest. Differences from the application of
the minimum tax law or any foreign minimum tax laws are not taken into account.

Deferred taxes are calculated on the basis of an effective tax rate of 30.5 %, which
is expected to apply at the time the differences reverse. Deferred tax liabilities
are offset against deferred tax assets. The company exercises the option set out
in Section 274(1), sentence 2, of the HGB and consequently does not present net
deferred tax assets on the balance sheet.

Authorisation to acquire treasury shares

By way of a resolution adopted by the Annual General Meeting on May 4, 2023,


the company is authorized to acquire treasury shares in the period to May 3, 2028,
of up to 10 % of the share capital existing when the resolution was adopted. The
authorization permits the Board of Management to exercise it for every purpose
permitted by law, and in particular to pursue the goals mentioned in the resolution
by the Annual General Meeting. In addition, the Board of Management is authorized
to acquire treasury shares totaling up to 5 % of the share capital existing when
the resolution was adopted by means including using derivatives. The prior
20 Notes

authorization to purchase treasury shares granted by resolution on May 6, 2021,


valid until May 5, 2026, was revoked as of the date on which the new authoriza-
tion entered into force.

In February 2022, the Board of Management resolved a share buy-back program


for up to 50 million shares at a total purchase price of up to €2 billion. On Febru-
ary 14, 2023, the Board of Management resolved to increase the current share
program to a total volume of up to €3 billion without changing the duration. The
repurchased shares will either be retired or used to service long-term executive
remuneration plans and possible future employee participation programs or used
to meet po-tential obligations if rights accruing under the 2017/2025 convertible
bond are exercised. The repurchase via the stock exchange started on April 8,
2022, and will end in December 2024 at the latest.

On February 12, 2024, the Board of Management resolved to expand the current
share buyback program so that a total of up to 130 million treasury shares are
to be purchased at a price of now up to €4 billion through the end of 2025. The
intended uses remain unaffected.

The average price per share amounted to €41.13 in March and €42.75 in April.
Notes 21

A total of 1,492,965 shares were issued to employees eligible for incentive and
investment shares (bonus year 2019) in April 2023 at a price of €42.50.

In July 2023, these shares were also used to settle claims under the Share Match-
ing Scheme for bonus year 2019 (matching shares). A total of 829,856 shares at a
share price of €44.73 each were issued to eligible employees.

A total of 78,157 shares were sold in April 2023 at a price of €42.70.

Performance Share Plan


In September, 3,077,598 treasury shares were issued to settle claims under the
Performance Share Plan (bonus year 2019).

Annex 5 contains further details on the changes in treasury shares.

Employee Share Plan


The Employee Share Plan (ESP) was introduced in 2021 as another remuneration
model. Each quarter, eligible employees can decide to invest a portion of their
salary at a 25 % discount compared to the market price. The program took effect
as of September 1, 2021. In the 2023 fiscal year, 368,940 treasury shares were
issued to settle claims under the Employee Share Plan.

Annex 5 contains further details on the changes in treasury shares.

27. Reserves Capital reserves

Share Matching Scheme


Under the terms of the Share Matching Scheme introduced in 2009, a portion
of the short-term variable remuneration component (annual bonus) for eligible
employees is paid in the form of Deutsche Post AG shares (deferred incentive
shares). All eligible employees can also individually increase the equity component
they acquire by converting a further portion of their variable remuneration into
shares (investment shares). After the four-year lock-up period expires, the eligible
employees are then awarded the same number of Deutsche Post AG shares in
addition (matching shares).

An amount of €3 million was transferred to the capital reserves due to the differ-
ence in the purchase price and the issuing price of the treasury shares under the
share programs for executives (Section 272(2), No. 1, of the HGB).

share buy-back program 2022/2024.

Share Matching Scheme


The shares acquired in the reporting period to settle claims under the Share
Matching Scheme (bonus year 2018) led to a €63 million decrease in the
earnings reserves.

The earnings reserves increased by €95 million due to the issue of shares to
beneficiaries (bonus year 2019).

In April 2023, 78,157 shares were sold and retained earnings rose by €3 million.

Annex 5 contains further details of the changes in earnings reserves.

Transfer to earnings reserves in accordance with AGM resolution


The transfer to earnings reserves in accordance with the resolution of the Annual
General Meeting on May 4, 2023, increased earnings reserves by €2,000 million.

28. Net retained profit Of the €10,635 million net retained profit for the 2022 fiscal year, the Annual
General Meeting resolved on May 4, 2023, to distribute €2,205 million for the

corresponding obligations of €14 million (previous year: €13 million), which were
incurred by subsidiaries and which Deutsche Post AG assumed under joint liability
arrangements, are reported under this item.
24 Notes

Provisions for pensions for Deutsche Post AG’s current employees and pensioners
are composed of the following items:

)

Provisions for pensions relate firstly to benefit commitments to employees that


establish a direct benefit claim against Deutsche Post AG, and secondly to indirect
pension obligations to employees covered by collective wage agreements.

An aggregate addition of €507 million was calculated during the remeasurement


of the provisions for pensions as of January 1, 2010, due to the introduction of
the BilMoG; the calculation was based on actuarial reports (projected unit credit
method; Heubeck 2005 G mortality tables). €280 million of this amount was
attributable to direct benefit obligations and €227 million to indirect benefit ob-
ligations. Deutsche Post AG is spreading the addition over 15 years in accordance
with Section 67(1) of the EGHGB. The total annual additions amount to €34 million
and are reported in other operating expenses.

The total interest income of €141 million incurred in relation to provisions for
pensions include interest expenses from unwinding of discount of €112 million
as well as income from plan assets/assets in the amount of €253 million.

Indirect benefit obligations


Indirect benefit obligations are granted and funded via the Versorgungsanstalt
der Deutschen Bundespost (VAP) and DP Pensionsfonds AG. After the benefit ob-
ligations were offset against assets, a net provision of €91 million was recognized
for indirect benefit obligations.

Adequate provisions were recognized as of the balance sheet date for indirect
benefit obligations to employees.
Notes 25

Direct benefit obligations (not security linked)


Provisions for direct benefit obligations amounted to €3,996 million as of
December 31, 2023.

As of the reporting date, Deutsche Post AG’s plan assets as defined by Section
246(2), sentence 2, of the HGB amounted to €3,950 million (fair value, equivalent
to the market value); these were offset against the obligations of €7,979 million less
the unrecognized difference of €33 million. The acquisition cost of the plan assets
amounted to €3,635 million. Primarily quoted prices were used to determine
the fair value of plan assets. Loans and bank balances were recognized at their
nominal amounts. For other assets, fair value was determined using generally
recognized valuation methods.

Assumption of obligations under joint liability arrangements


In previous years, Deutsche Post AG entered into agreements with subsidiaries in
which it assumed joint liability for individual pension obligations on the part of these
subsidiaries. These obligations amounted to €14 million as of the reporting date.

Externally funded pension obligations


In 2020, Deutsche Post AG revised the additional pension scheme to include de-
ferred compensation. Accordingly, the deferred amounts will be kept in individual
pension accounts and invested on the capital market (externally funded commit-
ment) beginning in 2021. The minimum benefit is guaranteed to equal the total
deferred amount. Provisions are recognized for the resulting pension obligation
and offset against the fund assets secured by a fiduciary (plan assets as defined
by Section 246(2) of HGB).

The pension model also applies for Deutsche Post AG subsidiaries and is reflected
in the same way at Deutsche Post AG through stipulated assumption of obligations.

Income from assets amounted to €2 million in the reporting period (previous


year: expenses of €2 million).

The indirect and direct benefit obligations and the obligations for which Deutsche
Post AG has assumed joint liability were calculated using the ten-year average
discount rate in accordance with Section 253(2) of the HGB. The difference in the
amounts calculated for the benefit obligations using the seven-year average rate
and the ten-year average rate is €94 million.
26 Notes

The income/expense resulting from the change in the discount rate is reported
in the financial result. The provisions for pensions were calculated on the basis
of the following assumptions:

Provisions for taxes


Provisions for taxes relate to tax expenses for the current year and potential
tax arrears payable due to ongoing external tax audits, including the interest
attributable to these arrears.

The increase in provisions for taxes is due primarily to higher provisions for
income taxes.
Notes 27

Restructuring
This item primarily includes expenses for partial retirement and early-retirement
programs for civil servants and expenses for severance payments.

At the end of 2011, Deutsche Post AG used a collective agreement to introduce


a special retirement model in the form of a combined partial retirement and
working time account model. The top-up payments arising under the partial
retirement arrangements in this model are recognized as provisions. Provisions
are recognized for the payments made by employees into their working time
accounts. Additional working time accounts were introduced for various groups
in 2021.

Pension liability insurance (plan assets within the meaning of Section 246(2) of
the HGB) has been taken out to meet the obligations resulting from the working
time accounts. The provisions required for the working time accounts and the re-
ceivables under the pension liability insurance have been offset against each other.

The following overview shows the basis for offsetting:

benefit obligations

No cost was recognized for the insurance policies, since the payments made by
the participating employees are transferred directly to the insurance company.

Income from plan assets amounted to €16 million in the reporting period
(previous year: €14 million).

Assumption of obligations
In previous years, Deutsche Post AG entered into contracts in which it undertook
vis-à-vis a number of subsidiaries to assume responsibility internally for certain
pension obligations on the part of these subsidiaries. The obligations assumed by
Deutsche Post AG amounted to €232 million as of the reporting date (previous
year: €244 million).

Non-current provisions were discounted using the discount rate published by the
Deutsche Bundesbank for the average maturity of the obligations.

Postage stamps
The provision for postage stamps relates to stamps that have been sold by the
reporting date but for which the corresponding service has yet to be performed.
Utilization of prior-year stocks in the amount of €144 million was assumed in the
2023 fiscal year. Measurement was based on external expert reports prepared in
2015 and periodic updates made on the basis of internal data.

The amounts due to banks mainly comprise overdraft liabilities (€106 million)
and the sale of residential building loans (€21 million).

Deutsche Post AG manages the residential building loans as a trustee. The pay-
ments received are forwarded to the purchasers of the loans (banks) in accord-
ance with a defined interest and principal payment schedule.

As borrowers make unscheduled repayments on existing loans, some of the funds


initially remain with Deutsche Post AG due to the defined interest and principal
payment schedule and are forwarded to the purchasers of the loans at a later date.
Liabilities due to banks therefore include an amount of €21 million (previous year:
€29 million) from unscheduled repayments.

Liabilities to affiliated companies mainly comprise liabilities from Group cash


management (in-house banking) in the amount of €11,343 million (previous
year: €12,359 million).

Other liabilities primarily relate to tax liabilities (€291 million), liabilities from
negative fair values of derivatives (€113 million) and liabilities from an early-
retirement program in the amount of €95 million.

34. Deferred income Deferred income largely comprises subsidies received for electric-powered
vehicles as well as payments received from unwound interest rate hedges.

Expenses for wages, salaries and emoluments increased by €413 million year over
year. In the 2023 fiscal year, employees were granted an inflationary adjustment
payment in the amount of €387 million. In the 2023 fiscal year, severance payments
amounted to €42 million (previous year: €15 million), while expenses for early-
retirement programs came in at €36 million (previous year: €10 million).

The decrease in social security contributions, retirement benefit expenses and


other benefit expenses by €63 million was mainly due to the lower addition to the
pension provisions.

Since the 2000 fiscal year, Deutsche Post AG has been legally required to contribute
33 % of the pensionable gross emoluments of its active civil servants and the
notional pensionable gross emoluments of its civil servants on leave of absence
to the Postbeamtenversorgungskasse (PVK – Postal Civil Servant Pension Fund).
The Bundesanstalt für Post und Telekommunikation Deutsche Bundespost (BAnst
PT) performs the PVK’s tasks.

It falls to the German federal government to guarantee that the PVK is always in a
position to meet its obligations.

Contributions made to the BAnst PT in the reporting period amounted to


€303 million. The prior-year amount was €309 million.

The average number of employees classified by employee groups in the period


under review was as follows:

Financial result 3,078 3,403

The financial result comprises net investment income, interest income and write-
downs of securities classified as current assets.

The change in net investment income is due to the decreased income from the
profit transfer agreement attributable to Deutsche Post Beteiligungen Holding
GmbH in the amount of €874 million. The earnings of Deutsche Post Beteiligungen
Holding GmbH were the result of higher intra-Group interest expenses and lower
income from investments.

Net interest income improved by €1,198 million, which is attributable to the


development of interest rates for pensions as well as to income from plan assets/
assets (€783 million). The improvement in net interest income from pension
provisions was mainly attributable to income from plan assets/assets, which
was up €623 million due to a higher return as well as a changes in fair value. In
addition, interest expense from interest on provisions for pensions was down
€160 million. The income from plan assets/assets is offset by the interest on
provisions for pensions and recognized in the amount of €141 million as interest
income from pension provisions in the 2023 fiscal year (previous year: interest
expenses in the amount of €-642 million).
Notes 35

Net interest income excluding the interest rate effects from the pension provision
rose by €415 million. This is primarily attributable to a higher positive net interest
income from Group cash management (in-house banking).

43. Taxes on income An expense of €342 million was recognized under taxes on income in the reporting
period. Expenses attributable to the reporting period amounted to €310 million.
For previous years, expenses of €32 million were reported.

Offsetting deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities (net presentation method)
resulted in net deferred tax assets as of the balance sheet date. Since the company
does not exercise the recognition option set out in Section 274(1), sentence 2, of
the HGB, no deferred tax assets are recognized on the balance sheet. Deferred tax
assets result primarily from the different recognition of as sets to fulfill pension
obligations. Deferred tax liabilities relate to differences in the valuation of fixed
assets and pension provisions.

Global minimum tax


Deutsche Post AG falls under the scope of application of the minimum tax law
and, as the parent company of DHL Group, is generally liable for the minimum
tax, unless national supplementary taxes are to be paid in the countries. Because
this legislation only applies to fiscal years beginning after December 30, 2023,
Deutsche Post AG is not subject to any tax burden from the minimum tax in the
year under review. Beginning with the 2024 fiscal year, Deutsche Post AG expects
an increase in current taxes by an amount in the low double-digit millions of euros.

Retained profits brought forward 8,034 6,430

Based on the net retained profit for the 2023 fiscal year in the amount of
€9,216 million, the Board of Management will propose a dividend of €1.85 per
no-par-value share carrying dividend rights. This corresponds to a total dividend
of €2,170 million. In addition, the Board of Management will propose transferring
€1,000 million from net retained profit to other earnings reserves. The amount
of €6,046 million remaining after deduction of the planned total dividend and the
transfer to earnings reserves will be carried forward to new account.

The final total dividend will be based on the number of shares carrying dividend
rights at the time the Annual General Meeting resolves upon the appropriation of
the net retained profit on the day the AGM convenes.

46. Off-balance-sheet transactions Trust activities


Trust activities as of December 31, 2023, relate to loan administration for housing
construction promotion and to the responsibilities agreed upon in accordance
with Section 119 of Book 6 of the Sozialgesetzbuch (SGB – German Social Security
Code) relating to cash benefit payments by pension insurance funds (Postal
Pension Service).

The trust assets for the Postal Pension Service as of December 31, 2023, amounted
to €135 million (previous year: €80 million).

The trust assets for housing construction promotion amounted to €25 million
(previous year: €34 million).

As of December 31, 2023, Deutsche Post AG administered trust assets of


€1 million (previous year: €12 million) resulting from the sale of receivables
from business clients.

These transactions do not result in significant future benefits or risks for


Deutsche Post AG.

Other financial obligations


Other financial obligations amounted to €3,298 million as of the balance sheet
date. Of this figure, €2,680 million is attributable to affiliated companies. There
were no other financial obligations to associates or from pension obligations.

In the previous year, other financial obligations amounted to €3,433 million,


including obligations of €2,797 million to affiliated companies.

In addition, obligations to a financial services provider for tranche 4 of the share


buy-back program 2022/2024 from the buy-back of treasury shares amounted
to €450 million (previous year: €275 million). Note 26 provides an overview of
share buy-back program 2022/2024.

Other financial obligations are primarily the result of long-term rental agreements
and leases. In keeping with the Group leasing model, all Deutsche Post AG
properties are leased from Deutsche Post Immobilien GmbH, which acts as the
Group’s centralized property leasing company.

An agreement for the buy-back of treasury shares as part of the share buy-back
program 2022/2024 (fourth tranche) was concluded with a financial services
provider in November 2023 with a volume of €600 million. As of December 31,
2023, a total volume of €150 million in treasury shares had been bought back.
The remaining volume as of December 31, 2023, in the amount of €450 million
also represents a financial obligation.

47. Contingencies Deutsche Post AG has furnished a large number of comfort letters, sureties and
guarantees to secure loan, lease, supplier, delivery and service agreements to be
entered into by Group companies, associates and joint ventures. This enabled the
Group to obtain better contract terms locally.

Contingencies relating to guarantees in accordance with Section 765 of the Bürger­


liches Gesetzbuch (BGB – German Civil Code), which were primarily on behalf of
affiliated companies, amounted to €2,873 million (previous year: €2,685 million).

Guarantees were issued in the amount of €8,890 million (previous year:


€8,519 million), primarily on behalf of affiliated companies.

Comfort letters issued mainly to affiliated companies amounted to €717 million


(previous year: €584 million).

Moreover, the figures above also contain contingencies in the amount of


€679 million (previous year: €162 million), which were specifically furnished
in respect of retirement obligations.

In addition to the contingent liabilities referred to above, Deutsche Post AG issued


declarations of joint and several liability (Section 403 Verklaringen under Dutch
law) for 21 subsidiaries in the Netherlands in order to dispense with disclosing
their financial statements. The liability declarations cover all of the companies’
legal transactions.

Due to past experience and continuous monitoring of the liquidity situation in its
companies, Deutsche Post AG is of the opinion that the risk of the comfort letters,
sureties and guarantees being called must be considered extremely low. There-
fore there was no need to recognize a liability for these contingencies on the
balance sheet.

48. Hedging policy As an international company, Deutsche Post AG is inevitably exposed to financial
and derivatives risks such as those from movements in exchange rates, interest rates or commodity
prices. As part of its centralized risk management system, Deutsche Post AG
assumes the role of an in-house bank within DHL Group. In this capacity, Group-
wide financial risks are centralized as far as possible and external hedging trans-
actions are entered into with banks in order to hedge the Group’s position; some
of these transactions are in turn transferred internally to Group companies. Pri-
mary and derivative financial instruments are used to offset risks from exchange
rate, interest rate and commodity price movements.

The following table provides an overview of the derivative financial instruments


employed and their notional amounts and fair values as of December 31, 2023:

thereof positive fair values 0 1 1

thereof negative fair values 0 -18 -18

Total 7,177 -57

The notional volume is calculated as the sum of the absolute amounts of the
individual transactions. A distinction is made between intra-Group transactions
(in-house bank function) and external transactions with banks. The fair values are
calculated as the net unrealized gains and losses in each class of derivative from
the measurement of the positions.

The fair values of currency forwards were determined on the basis of current mar­
ket prices, taking into account forward premiums and discounts. The fair values
of these instruments were determined using the Group’s treasury management
system. The fair values of commodity price swaps were provided by the banks
with which the hedges were originally concluded.

Under the HGB, derivatives represent executory contracts that are generally not
recognized in the balance sheet. Executory contracts are measured in accordance
with the principle of imparity under the HGB. A provision for expected losses is
created to reflect unrealized losses from executory contracts, while unrealized
gains are not recognized. A provision for expected losses must therefore generally
be reported for derivatives with a negative fair value as of the balance sheet date.

As an exception to this basic rule, hedge accounting in accordance with Section


254 of the HGB may be applied to derivatives under certain conditions. If macro
hedge accounting is applied, similar risks from assets, liabilities, executory con-
tracts or highly probable forecast transactions are combined to net out offsetting
40 Notes

changes in value or cash flows from financial instruments. The remaining net risk
is hedged as part of this process. If portfolio hedge accounting is applied, each type
of similar risk for assets and equity and liabilities is combined and hedged (gross).

For hedge accounting, either the “gross hedge presentation method” or the “net
hedge presentation method” may be used for eligible hedged items recognized
on the balance sheet. The net hedge presentation method is to be used for all other
eligible hedged items. If the gross hedge presentation method is used, the fair
values of the derivatives are recognized in the income statement; if the net hedge
presentation method is used, the carrying amounts are not adjusted to reflect fair
value changes resulting from effective hedging relationships.

Deutsche Post AG exercised the option to apply hedge accounting in the following
cases as of the reporting date:

Foreign currency receivables and liabilities from external bank balances, in-house
bank balances and loans (recognized hedged items) with a volume of €6,858 million
were combined – using the gross hedge presentation method – with currency
forwards (hedging instruments) with a net volume of €6,858 million with a
maximum term through December 2024 to form homogeneous portfolio hedges
for each currency to hedge the currency risk. The hedged risk was €69 million.
Where the gross hedge presentation method is used, the positive or negative fair
values of the derivatives in question are recognized in other assets/other liabilities
in the balance sheet.

The relevant portfolios are adjusted on a continuous basis. Where necessary, the
maturities of hedging instruments falling due are extended using new hedging
instruments. Due to the differing maturity dates for hedged items and hedging
instruments, net unrealized losses from lending relationships of €17 million
are offset by hedging instruments with a net partial fair value of €17 million.
Correspon­ding other operating income and expense items were recorded in
the income statement. Hedge effectiveness is prospectively assessed using the
critical terms match method and retrospectively measured using the cumulative
dollar-offset method, whereby only value changes attributable to spot prices are
included. Hedge effectiveness is expected to be 100 % since the primary meas-
urement characteristics of the hedged items and hedging transactions match.

A provision for expected losses amounting to €6 million was recognized for the
portion of the fair values of the hedging instruments not attributable to changes
in spot prices and thus not included in the hedging relationship.

External commodity price swaps totaling €104 million (net fair value €-17 million,
of which €1 million positive and €-18 million negative fair values) were each com-
bined with highly probable forecast transactions into a macro hedge for diesel
fuel, electricity and natural gas purchases using the net hedge presentation
Notes 41

method to hedge commodity risk. The hedged risk was €18 million. The highly
probable forecast transactions constitute planned purchases of diesel fuel with
a notional amount of €80 million during the period up to December 2025, as well
as electricity purchases with a notional amount of €1 million during the period up
to December 2025 and natural gas purchases with a notional amount of €23 million
during the period up to December 2025. Hedge effectiveness is prospectively
assessed using the critical terms match method and retrospectively measured
using the cumulative dollar-offset method. Hedge effectiveness is expected to be
100 % since the primary characteristics of the hedged items and hedging transac-
tions match. A provision for expected losses of €18 million was recognized for the
synthetic fixed-price procurement transaction resulting from the hedge. Unlike
in the previous year, no interest rate hedging instruments were recognized for
Deutsche Post AG as of December 31, 2023.

Hedge accounting was not used for the following:

External currency transactions with a volume of €215 million (net fair value:
€13 million; this includes positive fair values (€13 million) and negative fair values
(€0 million)) maturing in November 2028 were not hedged because the underlying
risks are not attributable to Deutsche Post AG, but to other Group companies.

Total provisions for expected losses on derivatives as of December 31, 2023,


amounted to €24 million (previous year: €16 million).

52. Report on post-balance- On February 6, 2024, KfW Bankengruppe (KfW) announced that it had sold
sheet-date events 50 million shares from its holding in Deutsche Post AG by means of an accelerated
bookbuild offering. Placement of the shares was geared toward institutional
investors.

After the successful execution of the share placement, the total share-holding
of KfW fell from 20.49 % to 16.45 %; the number of shares in free float increased
accordingly. Following conclusion of the transaction, KfW remains the largest
shareholder in Deutsche Post AG.

On February 12, 2024, the Board of Management resolved to expand the current
share buy-back program so that a total of up to 130 million treasury shares are
to be purchased by the end of 2025 at a purchase price of up to €4 billion. The
intended uses remain unaffected.

There were no other events that could have a material effect on Deutsche Post
AG’s results of operations, financial position and net assets.

53. Board of Management and Board of Management remuneration


Supervisory Board
The total remuneration paid to members of the Management Board amounted
to €23,4 million in the 2023 financial year (previous year: €26,9 million). This

€8,0 million (previous year: €9,3 million) at the time of issue.

Benefits paid to former members of the Board of Management and beneficiaries in


the 2023 fiscal year amounted to €38,90 million (previous year: €10,20 million).
Provisions for current pensions were recognized in the amount of €102,3 million
(previous year: €95,0 million).

Supervisory Board remuneration

The total remuneration of the Supervisory Board in the 2023 fiscal year amounted

In accordance with the German legal requirements, we have not audited the content of the combined
non-financial statement pursuant to Sections 289b and 315b German Commercial Code (HGB), which
is included in the section “Non-financial statement” of the combined management report, nor the com-
bined corporate governance statement pursuant to Sections 289f and 315d HGB, which is included
in the section “Governance” of the combined management report. Moreover, we have not audited the
content of those paragraphs and disclosures extraneous to the combined management report that are
marked as unaudited in the combined management report.

In our opinion, on the basis of the knowledge obtained in the audit,


• the accompanying annual financial statements comply, in all material respects, with the require-
ments of German commercial law applicable to business corporations and give a true and fair
view of the assets, liabilities and financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2023 and
of its financial performance for the financial year from 1 January to 31 December 2023 in comp-
liance with German Legally Required Accounting Principles, and
• the accompanying combined management report as a whole provides an appropriate view of the
Company’s position. In all material respects, this combined management report is consistent with the
annual financial statements, complies with German legal requirements and appropriately presents the
opportunities and risks of future development. Our audit opinion on the combined management
report does not cover the content of the abovelisted statements nor of the above-listed paragraphs
and disclosures extraneous to combined management reports marked as unaudited.

Pursuant to Section 322 (3) sentence 1 HGB, we declare that our audit has not led to any reservations relating
to the legal compliance of the annual financial statements and of the combined management report.

Basis for the Audit Opinions


We conducted our audit of the annual financial statements and of the combined management report in
accordance with Section 317 HGB and the EU Audit Regulation (No. 537/2014; referred to subsequently
as “EU Audit Regulation”) and in compliance with German Generally Accepted Standards for Financial
Statement Audits promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer (IDW). We performed the audit of the
annual financial statements in supplementary compliance with the International Standards on Auditing
(ISA). Our responsibilities under those requirements, principles and standards are further described in
the “Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Annual Financial Statements and of the combined
Management Report” section of our auditor’s report. We are independent of the Company in accordance
with the requirements of European law and German commercial and professional law, and we have
Auditor's Report 79

fulfilled our other German professional responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. In addi-
tion, in accordance with Article 10 (2) point (f) of the EU Audit Regulation, we declare that we have not
provided non-audit services prohibited under Article 5 (1) of the EU Audit Regulation. We believe that
the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions
on the annual financial statements and on the combined management report.

Key Audit Matters in the Audit of the Annual Financial Statements


Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in
our audit of the annual financial statements for the financial year from 1 January to 31 December 2023.
These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the annual financial statements as a whole
and in forming our audit opinion thereon; we do not provide a separate audit opinion on these matters.

In the following we present the key audit matters we have determined in the course of our audit:
Recoverability of shares in affiliated companies
Valuation of pension obligations and plan assets

Our presentation of these key audit matters has been structured as follows:
a) description (including reference to corresponding information in the annual financial statements)
b) auditor’s response

Recoverability of shares in affiliated companies


a) In the annual financial statements as at 31 December 2023 of Deutsche Post AG, shares in affi-
liated companies amounting to EUR 12,847 million are reported under the “Financial assets”
balance sheet item, which therefore account for about 28 % of total assets and are hence material
for the Company’s assets and liabilities.

Shares in affiliated companies in particular include equity investments in intermediate holdings,


which are themselves sometimes holders of shares in operatively active group companies via further
intermediate holdings. The performance of these intermediate shares and equity investments con-
siderably determines the value of the shares in affiliated companies of Deutsche Post AG.

Shares in affiliated companies are measured in accordance with German commercial law at the
lower of cost or fair value if impairment is expected to be permanent. If necessary, fair values are
calculated as the present values of the expected future cash flows according to the Company’s
internal planning projections, using a discounted cashflow method. No write-downs to the lower
fair value were recognised in the financial year 2023.

The result of this measurement depends to a large extent on the assumptions made by the execu-
tive directors for the determination of future cash flows and the determination of the parameters
for the discount rates used and is therefore subject to considerable uncertainty. Against this back-
ground and given the complexity of the underlying measurement models as well as the material
importance of shares in affiliated companies, this matter was of particular significance within the
framework of our audit.

The executive directors’ disclosures on shares in affiliated companies are included in notes 6 and
20 of the notes to the financial statements.
80 Auditor's Report

b) As part of our audit we assessed the executive directors’ approach to evaluating the recoverability of
shares in affiliated companies as to whether any need for impairment had been appropriately identified.

For this purpose, we initially obtained an understanding of the process of evaluating the recovera­
bility of shares in affiliated companies and dealt with the procedure for determining impaired shares
in affiliated companies, including at the level of material intermediate holdings. Based on evidence
gained and information obtained in the course of our audit, we also evaluated whether there are
indications for any need for impairment not identified by the executive directors.

In determining the fair values we examined whether the valuation models applied appropriately
present the conceptional requirements of the relevant measurement standards and whether the
calculations in the models are carried out correctly. In the case of estimates made by the executive
directors, we evaluated the reasonableness of the methods applied, assumptions made and data
used. Starting from the explanations by the Company on key value drivers and planning assump-
tions, we satisfied ourselves as to the appropriateness of future cash flows used in the valuation
and made a comparison with general and industry-specific market expectations. Furthermore, we
tested the previous quality of the Company’s forecasts by comparing the planning of prior financial
years with the actually realised results and analysed the deviations. We also assessed the parame-
ters applied to calculate the discount rate by checking them against market data and reconstruc-
ted the calculation formula both logically and computationally.

Our audit procedures were supported by our internal valuation experts.

Valuation of pension obligations and plan assets


a) Inthe annual financial statements as at 31 December 2023 of Deutsche Post AG, a total of EUR
4,101 million (9.0 % of total assets) is reported under the balance sheet item “Provisions for
pensions and similar obligations”. The item comprises the net amount of direct obligations to the
Company’s own employees and pensioners amounting to EUR 7,979 million (less the unrecognis-
ed difference of EUR 33 million from the BilMoG conversion) and the fair value of the plan assets
amounting to EUR 3,950 million. It also includes the indirect obligations from the external pension
institutions’ shortfall in the amount of EUR 91 million. Corresponding obligations of subsidiari-
es amounting to EUR 14 million are also reported under the balance sheet item, for which the
Company has declared assumptions of obligations under joint liability arrangements.

The valuation of obligations is performed using the projected unit credit method and is complex as
it requires that diverse actuarial assumptions of a financial and demographic nature be made. For
this reason, the Company deploys an external actuary for calculating the present value of future
pension obligations. In particular, the assumptions to be made as to the salary and pension trend
are of particular significance because of the present value of future pension obligations’ sensitivity
to these parameters, while the discount rate is largely fixed due to the binding specifications issued
by Deutsche Bundesbank.

The plan assets of the Company are measured at fair value. Since the latter involves estimation
uncertainties, the Company engages external experts in this respect.
Auditor's Report 81

In our view, these matters were of particular significance in our audit as the measurement of these
high-value items is to a large extent based on estimates and discretionary assumptions made by
the executive directors.

The Company’s disclosures on pension provisions and similar obligations are contained in notes 13
and 31 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

b) First, based on the existing benefit commitments, we reconstructed the methodology used to
evaluate the pension obligations and assessed whether the actuarial calculation method applied
is acceptable and to what extent the valuation can be influenced by subjectivity, complexity and
other inherent risk factors.

In assessing the assumptions as well as the applied calculation methodology, we involved our
internal experts of the measurement of pension provisions area in the audit team. With their help,
we satisfied ourselves as to the competence, capabilities and objectivity of the actuary commis-
sioned by the Company and reviewed its work results, including by recalculating the present value
of future pension obligations of selected pension entitlements. Moreover, our audit procedures
comprised an assessment of the appropriateness of assumptions made, in particular regarding
long-term salary and pension trends as well as average life expectancy.

As part of the audit of plan assets, we first obtained an understanding of the various asset sources
and the processing of financial information in the Company’s accounting. For the audit of the fair
value of the plan assets, we were particularly provided with bank and fund confirmations as well
as property valuation reports. We evaluated on a sample basis the exchange rates shown in fund
confirmations by involving our internal experts of the Valuation area. Regarding the property
valuation reports, we satisfied ourselves of the competence, capabilities and objectivity of the
expert commissioned by the Company and reviewed its work results, also by involving our internal
experts of the Valuation area.

Other Information
The executive directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises

• the parts included in the combined management report:


– combined non-financial statement pursuant to Sections 289b and 315b HGB,
– combined corporate governance statement pursuant to Sections 289f and 315d HGB,
– the paragraphs and disclosures extraneous to the combined management report marked as
unaudited, and
• the executive directors’ confirmation regarding the annual financial statements and the combined
management report pursuant to Sections 264 (2) sentence 3 and 289 (1) sentence 5 HGB.

The executive directors and the supervisory board are responsible for the declaration related to the
German Corporate Governance Code pursuant to Section 161 German Stock Corporation Act (AktG),
which is part of the combined corporate governance statement included in the combined management
report. Otherwise the executive directors are responsible for the other information.
82 Auditor's Report

Our audit opinions on the annual financial statements and on the combined management report do not
cover the other information, and consequently we do not express an audit opinion or any other form of
assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in
doing so, to consider whether the other information

• is materially inconsistent with the annual financial statements, with the audited content of the
combined management report or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or
• otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this
other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the Executive Directors and the Supervisory Board for the Annual
Financial Statements and the Combined Management Report
The executive directors are responsible for the preparation of the annual financial statements that comply,
in all material respects, with the requirements of German commercial law applicable to business corpo-
rations, and that the annual financial statements give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial
position and financial performance of the Company in compliance with German Legally Required
Accounting Principles. In addition, the executive directors are responsible for such internal control as
they, in accordance with German Legally Required Accounting Principles, have determined necessary to
enable the preparation of annual financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether
due to fraud (i.e., fraudulent financial reporting and misappropriation of assets) or error.

In preparing the annual financial statements, the executive directors are responsible for assessing the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. They also have the responsibility for disclosing, as appli-
cable, matters related to going concern. In addition, they are responsible for financial reporting based
on the going concern basis of accounting, provided no actual or legal circumstances conflict therewith.

Furthermore, the executive directors are responsible for the preparation of the combined management
report that as a whole provides an appropriate view of the Company’s position and is, in all material
respects, consistent with the annual financial statements, complies with German legal requirements,
and appropriately presents the opportunities and risks of future development. In addition, the executi-
ve directors are responsible for such arrangements and measures (systems) as they have considered
necessary to enable the preparation of a combined management report that is in accordance with the
applicable German legal requirements, and to be able to provide sufficient appropriate evidence for the
assertions in the combined management report.

The supervisory board is responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process for the
preparation of the annual financial statements and of the combined management report.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Annual Financial Statements and of the
Combined Management Report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the annual financial statements as a
whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and whether the combined
Auditor's Report 83

management report as a whole provides an appropriate view of the Company’s position and, in all
material respects, is consistent with the annual financial statements and the knowledge obtained in the
audit, complies with the German legal requirements and appropriately presents the opportunities and
risks of future development, as well as to issue an auditor’s report that includes our audit opinions on
the annual financial statements and on the combined management report.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted
in accordance with Section 317 HGB and the EU Audit Regulation and in compliance with German
Generally Accepted Standards for Financial Statement Audits promulgated by the Institut der
Wirtschaftsprüfer (IDW) and in supplementary compliance with the ISA will always detect a material
misstatement. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually
or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users
taken on the basis of these annual financial statements and this combined management report.

We exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also

• identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the annual financial statements and of the
combined management report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures
responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our audit opinions. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher
than the risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from error, as fraud may involve collu-
sion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls.
• obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit of the annual financial statements
and of arrangements and measures relevant to the audit of the combined management report in
order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose
of expressing an audit opinion on the effectiveness of these systems of the Company.
• evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used by the executive directors and the
reasonableness of estimates made by the executive directors and related disclosures.
• conclude on the appropriateness of the executive directors’ use of the going concern basis of
accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists rela-
ted to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue
as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw
attention in the auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the annual financial statements and in
the combined management report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our respective
audit opinions. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our
auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to be able
to continue as a going concern.
• evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the annual financial statements, inclu-
ding the disclosures, and whether the annual financial statements present the underlying transac-
tions and events in a manner that the annual financial statements give a true and fair view of the
assets, liabilities, financial position and financial performance of the Company in compliance with
German Legally Required Accounting Principles.
• evaluate the consistency of the combined management report with the annual financial statements,
its conformity with German law, and the view of the Company’s position it provides.
84 Auditor's Report

• perform audit procedures on the prospective information presented by the executive directors in
the combined management report. On the basis of sufficient appropriate audit evidence we eva-
luate, in particular, the significant assumptions used by the executive directors as a basis for the
prospective information, and evaluate the proper derivation of the prospective information from
these assumptions. We do not express a separate audit opinion on the prospective information and
on the assumptions used as a basis. There is a substantial unavoidable risk that future events will
differ materially from the prospective information.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned
scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in
internal control that we identify during our audit.

We provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with the relevant
independence requirements, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, the actions taken or safe-
guards applied to eliminate independence threats.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters
that were of most significance in the audit of the annual financial statements for the current period and
are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in the auditor’s report unless law or
regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter.
