Elisa continued its solid development. Revenue increased by 6 per cent from the previous year to EUR 511 million. EBITDA improved by 4 per cent, to EUR 177 million, and earnings per share by 8 per cent, to EUR 0.55. Despite increased geopolitical challenges and ongoing restrictions due to COVID-19, we achieved a strong result in the first quarter.
Russia's war in Ukraine has had no major direct impacts on Elisa; however, the crisis is expected to affect the general economic environment as a result of higher energy prices, challenges in supply chains, etc. These uncertainties may impact Elisa's business.
We continued our strong leadership in 5G: Elisa's coverage extends to 77 per cent of the Finnish population in over 160 municipalities. In February–March, an independent benchmarking study1) compared differences in 5G network coverage between operators. The results show that Elisa's 5G network clearly has better coverage than Telenor/DNA's and Telia's.
The international digital services business progressed well during the quarter. Elisa Polystar acquired FRINX s.r.o, a Slovak telecom network automation software supplier, and their combined offering helps communications service providers comprehensively automate their network management processes in a multivendor telecom network environment.
Sustainability has been part of Elisa's strategy for over ten years, and our updated sustainability goals emphasise the importance of our handprint. Additionally, we focus on transparency and consistency in reporting. Starting from this quarter, we will also be reporting the results of our key sustainability indicators in our Interim Reports. We published our annual assured Sustainability Report, including information in accordance with the EU Taxonomy Regulation. We also published climate-related financial information in accordance with the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures in a separate report.
Our mission is a sustainable future through digitalisation. In the first quarter, we announced a ten-year wind power agreement, established our Sustainability Finance Framework, and joined Women4Cyber Finland to increase the employment of women in the Finnish cybersecurity industry.
We will continue to focus strongly on continuous improvement of the customer experience and quality. Increasing productivity, innovating and expanding our digital services internationally and creating value with data, as well as our strong investment capability, continue to lay a solid foundation for competitively creating value in the future.
1) Boftel: Operator comparison 15 February – 11 March 2022

This interim report has been prepared in accordance with the IFRS recognition and measurement principles, although not all requirements of the IAS 34 standard have been followed. The information presented in this interim report is unaudited.
The competitive environment has been active, especially in 4G subscriptions. The COVID-19 pandemic continued to impact the market situation to some extent. The amount of travel has been very low. On the other hand, the usage of mobile voice and data continued to evolve favourably. Brisk demand for 5G services has also continued due to the wider range of 5G devices and better network coverage. Also, current geopolitical situation has increased the demand for cybersecurity services. Competition in the fixed broadband market has continued to be intense in multi-dwelling units, and the number and usage of traditional fixed network subscriptions is decreasing.
The markets for IT and IPTV entertainment services have continued to develop favourably, while demand for other digital services is also growing.

Net debt increased by EUR 13 million to EUR 1,176 million. Comparable cash flow after investments increased by 10 per cent to EUR 66 million (60). Cash flow was positively affected by increased EBITDA, and lower interest paid and licence fee instalments, while it was negatively affected by a change in net working capital.
The financial position and liquidity are strong. Cash and undrawn committed credit lines totalled EUR 601 million at the end of the quarter.
Elisa Polystar has acquired FRINX s.r.o, a Slovak telecom network automation software supplier. FRINX products and software will complement Elisa Polystar's zero-touch automation and analytics offering, which helps communications service providers (CSPs) to comprehensively automate their network management processes in a multivendor telecom network environment.

On 1 February 2022, Elisa transferred 72,394 treasury shares to persons involved in the Performance Share Plan for the period 2019–2021.
The Estonian 3.5 GHz spectrum auction is scheduled to begin on 3 May 2022. Elisa Eesti AS has received approval to participate in the auction. There will be three licenses in the auction. The frequencies can be used for 5G networks. Four operators have announced their participation in the auction.
Risk management is part of Elisa's internal control system. It aims to ensure that risks affecting the company's business are identified, influenced and monitored. The company classifies risks into strategic, operational, hazard and financial risks.
The telecommunications industry is intensely competitive in Elisa's main market areas, which may have an impact on Elisa's business. The telecommunications industry is subject to heavy regulation. Elisa and its businesses are monitored and regulated by several public authorities. This regulation also affects the price level of some products and services offered by Elisa and may also require investments that have long payback times.
Elisa processes different kinds of data, including personal and traffic data. Therefore, the applicable data protection legislation, especially the General Data Protection Regulation, has a significant impact on Elisa and its businesses.

The rapid developments in telecommunications technology may have a significant impact on Elisa's business.
Changes in governmental relationships, including in the security environment, may increase the risk that restrictions being imposed on network providers' equipment that is also used in Elisa's network. This could have financial or operational impacts on Elisa's business.
Elisa's main market is Finland, where the number of mobile phones per inhabitant is among the highest in the world and growth in subscriptions is therefore limited. Furthermore, the volume of phone traffic on the fixed network has been decreasing during recent years. These factors may limit opportunities for growth. New international business expansion and possible future acquisitions abroad may increase risks.
Elisa is liable to pay direct and indirect taxes and withholding taxes in the countries in which it operates. The tax authorities have taken a slightly more intense approach to tax inspection of late. Tax payments may be challenged by local tax authorities, and this may have a negative financial impact on Elisa.
There is an increasing level of uncertainty relating to Russia's war in Ukraine. This is expected to affect the general economic environment, e.g. inflation and energy prices. Challenges in global supply chains may also result in uncertainties in volumes and prices. Disturbances related to running infrastructure may also occur, for example due to cyber incidents. Elisa's business in Russia is not essential, and Elisa is withdrawing from the Russian market.
The company's core operations are covered by insurance against damage and interruptions caused by accidents and disasters. Accident risks also include litigation and claims.
The direct and indirect effects of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic are uncertain. If the pandemic continues for a prolonged period, this may significantly contribute to a slowdown in economic growth, which may have negative effects on Elisa through customer demand, suppliers' security of supply and employee health. Elisa has adapted its operations and taken many proactive measures due to the COVID-19 pandemic, e.g. more intensive follow-up of customer demand for existing services, as well as emerging demand for new business opportunities. Also, the company has moved to remote working in the duties where it is possible.
In order to manage the interest rate risk, the Group's loans and investments are diversified into fixedand variable-rate instruments. Interest rate swaps can be used to manage the interest rate risk.
As most of Elisa's operations and cash flow are denominated in euros, the exchange rate risk is minor. Currency derivatives can be used to manage the currency risk.
The objective of liquidity risk management is to ensure the Group's financing in all circumstances. Elisa has cash reserves, committed credit facilities and a sustainable cash flow to cover its foreseeable financing needs.
Liquid assets are invested within confirmed limits in financially solid banks, domestic companies and institutions. Credit risk concentrations in accounts receivable are minor, as the customer base is broad.
COVID-19 has increased volatility in the financial markets. This might have an effect on Elisa's ability to raise funds and increase financing costs.
A detailed description of financial risk management can be found in Note 7.1 to the Annual Report 2021.

The impact of COVID-19 on Elisa's business has been limited. Operations have continued as planned and all supply chains have operated normally. Elisa has continued its way of working mainly as remote working. The financial effects have been seen mainly in lower roaming revenue due to the reduced amount of travel. Elisa's financial position and cash flow have remained strong. Elisa has prepared for various scenarios to secure its financial position.
On 6 April 2022, Elisa's Annual General Meeting decided to pay a dividend of EUR 2.05 per share based on the adopted financial statements for 31 December 2021. The dividend was paid on 20 April 2022 to the shareholders registered in the company's share register maintained by Euroclear Finland Ltd on 8 April 2022.
The Annual General Meeting adopted the financial statements for 2021. The members of the Board of Directors and the CEO were discharged from liability for 2021. The Annual General Meeting approved the Remuneration Report of the Company's governing bodies for 2021.
The number of the members of the Board of Directors was confirmed at nine. Ms Clarisse Berggårdh, Mr Maher Chebbo, Mr Kim Ignatius, Mr Topi Manner, Ms Eva-Lotta Sjöstedt, Mr Anssi Vanjoki and Mr Antti Vasara were re-elected as members of the Board of Directors, and Ms Katariina Kravi and Ms Pia Kåll as new members of the Board of Directors. Mr Anssi Vanjoki was appointed as the Chair and Ms Clarisse Berggårdh as the Deputy Chair of the Board of Directors.
The Annual General Meeting decided that the amount of annual remuneration for the members of the Board of Directors and remuneration for meeting participation be changed. The Chair is paid annual remuneration of EUR 130,000, the Deputy Chair and the Chairs of the Committees EUR 85,000, and other Board members EUR 70,000. Additionally, members are paid EUR 800 per meeting of the Board and of a committee; however, if a Board member is physically present at a Board or Committee meeting that is held in a country other than his/her permanent home country, the meeting fee is EUR 1,600.
KPMG Oy Ab, Authorised Public Accountants Organisation, was re-elected as the company's auditor. APA Toni Aaltonen is the responsible auditor.
The Board of Directors held its organising meeting and appointed Ms Clarisse Berggårdh (chair), Mr Maher Chebbo, Ms Katariina Kravi, and Ms Eva-Lotta Sjöstedt to the People and Compensation Committee. Mr Kim Ignatius (chair), Ms Pia Kåll, Mr Topi Manner and Mr Antti Vasara were appointed to the Audit Committee.
The Annual General Meeting decided to authorise the Board of Directors to resolve to repurchase or accept as pledge the company's own shares. The repurchase may be directed. The amount of shares under this authorisation is 5 million shares at maximum. The authorisation is valid for 18 months from the date of the resolution of the General Meeting.
The Annual General Meeting decided to authorise the Board of Directors to pass a resolution concerning the share issue, the right of assignment of treasury shares and/or the granting of special rights referred to in the Companies Act. The authorisation entitles the Board of Directors to execute the issue as

directed. The amount of shares under this authorisation is 15 million shares at maximum. The authorisation is valid for 18 months from the date of the resolution of the General Meeting.
Growth in the Finnish economy is expected to continue; however, the outlook for GDP growth has deteriorated from the beginning of the year. There are increasing levels of uncertainty relating to Russia's war in Ukraine, such as inflation and energy prices. Challenges in global supply chains may also result in uncertainties in volumes and prices. Competition in the Finnish telecommunications market remains keen.
Full-year revenue is estimated to be at the same level as or slightly higher than in 2021. Mobile data and digital services are expected to increase revenue. Full-year comparable EBITDA is anticipated to be at the same level or slightly higher than in 2021. Capital expenditure is expected to be a maximum of 12 per cent of revenue.
Elisa is continuing its productivity improvement development, for example by increasing automation and data analytics in different processes, such as customer interactions, network operations and delivery. Additionally, Elisa's continuous quality improvement measures will increase customer satisfaction and efficiency and reduce costs.
Elisa's transformation into a provider of exciting, new and relevant services for its customers is continuing. Long-term revenue growth and profitability improvement will derive from growth in the mobile data market, as well as domestic and international digital services.
