War in Ukraine – Summary of Nokian Tyres' actions

On February 24, Russia started the war in Ukraine, which has caused high uncertainty related to Nokian Tyres' operating environment and manufacturing capacity.

On April 8, the EU announced new sanctions against Russia, which impact Nokian Tyres' business. The sanctions prohibit the import of tires from Russia to the EU, prohibit the export of certain raw materials from the EU to Russia, and limit transportation from and to Russia. The sanctions have a significant impact on Nokian Tyres' ability to manufacture tires in Russia, and ability to sell tires both in Russia and in the EU, specifically in Central Europe.

In 2021, Russia represented approximately 20% of Nokian Tyres' net sales, and approximately 80% of Nokian Tyres passenger car tires were produced in Russia. Of raw materials for tires produced in Russia, approximately half came from outside of Russia. Raw material availability and its logistics will have a significant impact on the company's capability to continue production in Russia.

Nokian Tyres is expediting its plans to invest in new production capacity in Europe, and continues to increase production capacity at its factories in Nokia, Finland and Dayton, US. According to the plan, in the future all tires sold in the Nordic countries will be produced in Nokia, and all tires sold in North America will be produced in Dayton and in Nokia.

The Heavy Tyres business of Nokian Tyres plc is not impacted by the ban to import tires from Russia to the EU, as all Nokian Tyres' heavy tires are produced in Finland. Sales and distribution of heavy tires to Russia were stopped due to the war. Nokian Tyres has never sold tires to the Russian army, and the Russian Federation is not a customer of Nokian Tyres.

Nokian Tyres has taken active measures, such as below, to manage the impacts of the war in Ukraine to its personnel and business:

Health and safety actions

  • Continuously communicating about the situation in the organization and providing support to Nokian Tyres' employees
  • Being in daily contact with the Ukrainian colleagues to help them and their families stay safe

• Donating to humanitarian efforts in Ukraine

Operational response actions

  • Ensuring compliance with applicable sanctions regime
  • Establishing a crisis management team and activating contingency plans to limit the operational and financial impacts, including shipping tires closer to customers, securing the raw material supply to the factories, and transferring production of selected key product lines from Russia to Finland and the US
  • Taking care of the personnel and management in Ukraine and Russia
  • Securing control of the asset base in Russia (March 31, 2022: EUR 476.1 million)
  • Stopping investments into the Russian production, and stopping all heavy tire sales and distribution to Russia
  • Expediting plans to diversify manufacturing footprint by investing in new production capacity in Europe and continuing to increase passenger car tire capacity in the Finnish and US factories
  • Implementing cost measures by cutting and delaying activities and reducing discretionary spending

Financial response actions

  • On March 30, the Board of Directors decided to change its dividend proposal to the Annual General Meeting to be held on April 28, 2022 from EUR 1.32/share to EUR 0.55/share (2021: EUR 1.20). The new dividend proposal cuts the total dividend payable to shareholders by EUR 106 million to fund the new capacity in Europe
  • Taking measures to secure the company's liquidity and financial flexibility
  • Leveraging the strong balance sheet to support the company in difficult times

Jukka Moisio, President and CEO:

"For the past two months, we have witnessed shocking events in Ukraine. We have followed the situation with great sadness and we, along with the whole international community, unequivocally condemn the war, which has caused unspeakable suffering to so many.

The war in Ukraine started to impact our operating environment in late February. However, the year began with good tire demand and in January−March, our net sales with comparable currencies increased by 21.9% and segments operating profit improved. The result was driven by price increases that we implemented in a wide range of markets and products to offset high raw material and other cost inflation.

At these difficult times, our first priority has been to help our Ukrainian colleagues and their families stay safe, and support all Nokian Tyres employees. To secure supply of our products, we immediately activated contingency plans in February, including shipping tires closer to our customers, securing the raw material supply, and transferring production of selected key product lines from Russia to our other factories. To reduce reliance on the Russian production and to diversify our manufacturing footprint, we have continued to increase capacity at our factories in Finland and in the US, and we are expediting our plans to invest in new capacity in Europe.

The war in Ukraine will significantly impact our financial results in 2022, especially starting from the third quarter. Due to high uncertainty and dynamic environment, it is impossible to estimate the ultimate impact on our overall performance at the moment. The sanctions have a significant impact on our ability to manufacture tires in Russia, and thus our ability to sell tires in Russia and in Central Europe.

Our short-term focus will be on adapting to the fast-changing, highly uncertain operating environment, maintaining control of our operations in Russia and securing cash flow. We have a strong product portfolio, and although there will be difficulties in the short term, we will do our utmost to ensure

supply of our products to customers. In the mid-term, adding new supply capability to Europe will be one of our key priorities. At the same time, the Board is evaluating long-term strategic paths in the changing operating environment.

I would especially like to thank all Nokian Tyres employees for their perseverance and resilience during this difficult time."

OTHER MATTERS

SHARE-BASED LONG-TERM INCENTIVE SCHEME 2022–2024 FOR THE MANAGEMENT AND SELECTED KEY EMPLOYEES OF NOKIAN TYRES PLC

In February, Nokian Tyres announced that the Board of Directors of Nokian Tyres plc had decided on a share-based long-term incentive scheme for the Company's management and selected key employees for years 2022–2024 as a continuation to the earlier plans decided in 2019, 2020 and 2021. The decision includes Performance Share Plan 2022 ("PSP 2022") as the main structure and Restricted Share Plan 2022 ("RSP 2022") as a complementary structure.

The purpose of the share-based incentive scheme is to align the goals of the Company's shareholders and key personnel in order to increase the value of the Company in the long term and to commit key personnel to the Company and its strategic targets.

Performance Share Plan 2022

The Performance Share Plan consists of annually commencing individual three-year Performance Periods, followed by the payment of the potential share reward. The commencement of each individual Performance Period is subject to a separate approval by the Board of Directors.

The Performance Period (PSP 2022–2024) commenced effective as of the beginning of 2022 and the potential share reward thereunder will be paid in the first half of 2025 provided that the performance targets set by the Board of Directors are achieved. The potential reward will be paid partly in shares of Nokian Tyres plc and partly in cash. Cash portion of the reward is intended to cover the taxes arising from the paid reward. Eligible to participate in PSP 2022–2024 are approximately 235 individuals, including the members of Nokian Tyres Management Team.

The potential share reward payable under the PSP 2022–2024 are based on the Segments Earnings Per Share (EPS) and Segments Return on Capital Employed (ROCE). The possible rewards paid based on the Performance Period of 2022–2024 will be a maximum of 513,742 gross shares.

If an employee's employment with Nokian Tyres terminates before the payment date of the share reward, said employee is not, as a main rule, entitled to any reward based on the plan.

Restricted Share Plan 2022

The purpose of the Restricted Share Plan is to serve as a complementary long-term incentive tool, used selectively for retention of Nokian Tyres key employees. It consists of annually commencing individual Restricted Share Plans, each with a three-year retention period after which the share rewards granted within the plan will be paid to the participants in shares of Nokian Tyres plc and partly in cash.

The commencement of each individual plan is subject to a separate approval by the Board of Directors.

A precondition for the payment of the share reward based on the Restricted Share Plan is that the employment relationship of a participant with Nokian Tyres continues until the payment date of the reward. In addition to this precondition, a financial performance criteria is applied to Nokian Tyres Management Team. The criteria is a threshold value for Return on Capital Employed (ROCE), which must be exceeded for a potential payment of a share reward based on the Restricted Share Plan 2022–2024.

The next plan (RSP 2022–2024) within the Restricted Share Plan structure commenced effective as of the beginning of 2022 and the potential share reward thereunder will be paid in the first half of

  1. The possible rewards paid based on RSP 2022–2024 correspond approximately to a maximum of 120,000 gross shares.

Other terms

Nokian Tyres applies a share ownership policy to the members of Nokian Tyres Management Team. According to said policy each member of the Management Team is expected to retain in his/her ownership at least 25% of the shares received under the share-based incentive programs of the Company until the value of his/her share ownership in the Company corresponds to at least his/her annual gross base salary.

The Board of Directors anticipates that no new shares will be issued based on the share-based incentive scheme and that the scheme will, therefore, have no dilutive effect on the registered number of the Company's shares.

Payments for share-based plans that ended in 2021

In February, The Board of Directors of Nokian Tyres plc approved the share awards from the Restricted Share Plan 2019–2021.

The three-year restriction period of the Restricted Share Plan 2019–2021 ended after financial year 2021. 17 key employees participated in the share-based incentive plan, including members of the Management Team. The financial threshold value for Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) applied for the Management Team members was achieved. The rewards paid corresponded to a total of 46,600 Nokian Tyres plc gross shares. The rewards were paid in March 2022. The total number of shares of the Company did not change. A precondition for the payment of the share reward based on the Restricted Share Plan was that the employment relationship of a participant with Nokian Tyres continued until the payment date of the reward.

The targets for the Performance Period 2019–2021 (PSP 2019–2021) were not achieved and no share rewards will be paid to participants.

SIGNIFICANT RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES AND ONGOING DISPUTES

Nokian Tyres' business and financial performance may be affected by several uncertainties. The Group has adopted a risk management policy, approved by the Board of Directors, which supports the achievement of strategic goals and ensures business continuity. The Group's risk management policy focuses on managing both the risks pertaining to business opportunities and the risks affecting the achievement of the Group's goals in the changing operating environment. The risk management process aims to identify and evaluate the risks and to plan and implement the practical measures for each risk. Nokian Tyres describes the overall business risks and risk management in its annual Corporate Governance Statement.

The war in Ukraine and resulting sanctions are severely impacting Nokian Tyres' operating environment and causing a number of risks for Nokian Tyres' business. These include, among others, ability to secure the safety of the personnel in Ukraine and Russia, the risk of losing control of operations in Russia, additional sanctions and counter-sanctions, ability to serve customers especially in Russia and in Central Europe, and ability to retain personnel. The Group's assets in Russia may also be subject to impairments and write-downs. The reported figures in January-March 2022 do not include any impairments or write-downs of assets related to the war in Ukraine.

In addition to the risks caused by the war in Ukraine, for example, the following risks could potentially have an impact on Nokian Tyres' business:

  • Nokian Tyres is subject to risks related to consumer confidence and macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions. Political uncertainties may cause serious disruption and additional trade barriers and affect the company's sales and credit risk. Economic downturns may increase trade customers' payment problems and Nokian Tyres may need to recognize impairment of trade receivables.

  • The tire wholesale and retail landscape is evolving to meet changing consumer needs. New technologies are fueling this with increasing digitalization. Failure to adapt to the changes in the sales channel could have an adverse effect on Nokian Tyres' financial performance.

  • Nokian Tyres' success is dependent on its ability to innovate and develop new products and services that appeal to its customers and consumers. Despite extensive testing of its products, product quality issues and failure to meet demands of performance and safety could harm Nokian Tyres' reputation and have an adverse effect on its financial performance.

  • Nokian Tyres' production facilities are located in Finland, Russia and the US. Any unexpected production or delivery breaks at these facilities would have a negative impact on the company's business. Interruptions in logistics could have a significant impact on production and peak season sales.

  • Significant fluctuations in raw material prices may impact margins. Nokian Tyres sources natural rubber from producers in countries such as Indonesia and Malaysia. Although Nokian Tyres has policies such as the Supplier Code of Conduct and established processes to monitor the working conditions, it cannot fully control the actions of its suppliers. Nokian Tyres continues to expand its supplier portfolio to mitigate risks related to single source supplying. The non-compliance with laws, regulations or standards by raw material producers, or their divergence from practices generally accepted as ethical in the European Union or the international community, could have a material adverse effect on Nokian Tyres' reputation.

  • Tire industry can be subject to risks caused by climate change, such as changes in consumer tire preferences, regulatory changes or impact of extreme weather events on natural rubber producers. Nokian Tyres is committed to reducing GHG emissions from its operations in order to combat climate change. Nokian Tyres calculates the GHG emissions from its operations annually and reduces them systematically. More detailed analysis on Nokian Tyres' climate change related risks and opportunities is provided at www.nokiantyres.com/company/sustainability/environment/climatechange-related-risks-and-opportunities/.

  • Foreign exchange risk consists of transaction risk and translation risk. The most significant currency risks arise from the Russian ruble, the Swedish and Norwegian krona, and the US and Canadian dollar. Approximately 65% of the Group's sales are generated outside of the euro-zone.

  • The availability of supporting information systems and network services is crucial to Nokian Tyres. Unplanned interruption in critical information systems or network services may cause disruption to the continuity of operations. Such systems and services may also be exposed to cyber attacks that could cause a leakage of confidential information, violation of data privacy regulations, theft of know-how and other intellectual property, production shutdown or damage to reputation.

  • In May 2017, the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority filed a request for investigation with the National Bureau of Investigation regarding possible securities market offences. In October 2020, the prosecutor announced the decision to press charges against a total of six persons who acted as Board members and the President & CEO of Nokian Tyres in 2015–2016. The prosecutor also requests a corporate fine of a maximum of EUR 850,000 to be imposed on the company. The prosecutor has also decided to press charges for suspected abuse of insider information against four persons who were employees of Nokian Tyres in 2015. All persons charged deny their involvement in any criminal activity. The trial related to these events started at the District Court of Helsinki in January 2022.

  • The COVID-19 pandemic represents a short-term risk to Nokian Tyres' business and operating environment. The company has proactively taken preventive actions to minimize the impacts of the pandemic and to ensure business continuity. Despite these efforts, the uncertainty over the duration of the pandemic, the containment measures and the resulting slowdown in economic activity can have a negative impact on Nokian Tyres' operations and supply chain as well as the demand and pricing for the company's products.

Nokian Tyres' risk analysis also pays special attention on corporate sustainability risks, the most significant of which are related to product quality, safety, environment, and human rights. Analyses

and projects related to information security, data protection, and customer information are continuously a special focus area.

Tax disputes

In April 2021, Nokian Tyres received a decision from the Tax Administration concerning a tax audit for the tax years 2015–2016, according to which the company was obliged to pay a total of EUR 1.9 million additional taxes, punitive tax increase and late payment interest. Taxes have been paid and recognized in receivables. Nokian Tyres considers the tax authority's view unfounded and has appealed against the decision.

Routine tax audits in Nokian Tyres Group entities may possibly lead to a reassessment of taxes.

WAR IN UKRAINE – SUMMARY OF NOKIAN TYRES' ACTIONS

On February 24, Russia started the war in Ukraine, which has caused high uncertainty related to Nokian Tyres' operating environment and manufacturing capacity.

On April 8, the EU announced new sanctions against Russia, which impact Nokian Tyres' business. The sanctions prohibit the import of tires from Russia to the EU, prohibit the export of certain raw materials from the EU to Russia, and limit transportation from and to Russia. The sanctions have a significant impact on Nokian Tyres' ability to manufacture tires in Russia, and ability to sell tires both in Russia and in the EU, specifically in Central Europe.

In 2021, Russia represented approximately 20% of Nokian Tyres' net sales, and approximately 80% of Nokian Tyres passenger car tires were produced in Russia. Of raw materials for tires produced in Russia, approximately half came from outside of Russia. Raw material availability and its logistics will have a significant impact on the company's capability to continue production in Russia.

Nokian Tyres is expediting its plans to invest in new production capacity in Europe, and continues to increase production capacity at its factories in Nokia, Finland and Dayton, US. According to the plan, in the future all tires sold in the Nordic countries will be produced in Nokia, and all tires sold in North America will be produced in Dayton and in Nokia.

The Heavy Tyres business of Nokian Tyres plc is not impacted by the ban to import tires from Russia to the EU, as all Nokian Tyres' heavy tires are produced in Finland. Sales and distribution of heavy tires to Russia were stopped due to the war. Nokian Tyres has never sold tires to the Russian army, and the Russian Federation is not a customer of Nokian Tyres.

Nokian Tyres has taken active measures, such as below, to manage the impacts of the war in Ukraine to its personnel and business:

Health and safety actions

  • Continuously communicating about the situation in the organization and providing support to Nokian Tyres' employees
  • Being in daily contact with the Ukrainian colleagues to help them and their families stay safe
  • Donating to humanitarian efforts in Ukraine

Operational response actions

  • Ensuring compliance with applicable sanctions regime
  • Establishing a crisis management team and activating contingency plans to limit the operational and financial impacts, including shipping tires closer to customers, securing the raw material supply to the factories, and transferring production of selected key product lines from Russia to Finland and the US
  • Taking care of the personnel and management in Ukraine and Russia
  • Securing control of the asset base in Russia (March 31, 2022: EUR 476.1 million)

  • Stopping investments into the Russian production, and stopping all heavy tire sales and distribution to Russia
  • Expediting plans to diversify manufacturing footprint by investing in new production capacity in Europe and continuing to increase passenger car tire capacity in the Finnish and US factories
  • Implementing cost measures by cutting and delaying activities and reducing discretionary spending

Financial response actions

  • On March 30, the Board of Directors decided to change its dividend proposal to the Annual General Meeting to be held on April 28, 2022 from EUR 1.32/share to EUR 0.55/share (2021: EUR 1.20). The new dividend proposal cuts the total dividend payable to shareholders by EUR 106 million to fund the new capacity in Europe
  • Taking measures to secure the company's liquidity and financial flexibility
  • Leveraging the strong balance sheet to support the company in difficult times

The war in Ukraine and resulting sanctions are severely impacting Nokian Tyres' operating environment and causing significant uncertainty. Restrictions in manufacturing in Russia are estimated to have an adverse impact on the company's supply capacity, impacting sales especially in Russia and Central Europe, in particular in the second half of 2022.

In Russia, the sales of new cars are expected to decrease by up to 50% compared to 2021, due to the impact of sanctions, supply chain disruptions, increased prices and decreased purchasing power. The total replacement tire market sell-in in Russia in 2022 is expected to decrease by 2025% compared to 2021, driven by the overall economic decline, lower disposable incomes, decreased new car sales and supply constraints.

The unpredictability in the development of the Russian ruble exchange rate causes uncertainty in 2022. The ruble has weakened in recent years and the average EUR/RUB was 72.5 in 2019, 82.7 in 2020, 87.2 in 2021, and 98.0 in JanuaryMarch 2022.

Raw material and logistics costs are estimated to increase significantly in 2022.

The demand for Nokian Heavy Tyres' core products is estimated to continue strong in 2022. Aftermarket demand is expected to continue healthy and OEM demand is expected to grow from 2021 level. However, the war in Ukraine causes uncertainty, and supply chain constraints and component shortage may affect customers' ability to grow and invest in their business.

GUIDANCE FOR 2022

April 27, 2022:

The war in Ukraine and resulting sanctions cause significant uncertainty to Nokian Tyres operating environment. Nokian Tyres net sales and segments operating profit in 2022 are expected to decrease significantly compared to 2021.

February 28, 2022:

The war in Ukraine has caused significant uncertainty related to Russia. Therefore, the Board of Directors of Nokian Tyres plc decided on February 28, 2022 to withdraw the company's financial guidance for 2022 published on February 8, 2022.

Earlier guidance from February 8, 2022:

In 2022, Nokian Tyres' net sales with comparable currencies are expected to grow significantly and segments operating profit is expected to grow. The global car and tire demand is expected to grow. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to cause uncertainties, including cost inflation and availability challenges, in the whole automotive value chain. In addition, current geopolitical situation causes uncertainties in 2022.

Interim condensed consolidated financial statements

This Interim Report has been prepared in accordance with IFRS compliant recognition and measurement principles and the same accounting policies as in the most recent annual financial statements, but it has not been prepared in compliance with all requirements set out in IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'.

Accounting implications of the effects of COVID-19 and war in Ukraine

The Group has assessed the potential accounting implications of decreased economic activity as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The COVID-19 pandemic has not had a significant effect on the financial values of assets or on the impairments made in 2021. Goodwill impairments in 2021 were not related to COVID-19.

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to cause uncertainties, including cost inflation and availability challenges, in the whole automotive value chain.

The war in Ukraine is severely impacting Nokian Tyres' operating environment and causing a number of risks for Nokian Tyres' business. These include, among others, the risk of losing control of operations in Russia, ability to serve customers especially in Russia and in Central Europe, and ability to retain personnel. The Group's assets in Russia may also be subject to impairment and write-down. The reported figures do not include any impairments or writedowns of assets related to the war in Ukraine. Nokian Tyres Management Team is continuously following the situation.

The interim report figures are unaudited.
