  • Net sales declined in the fourth quarter by -0,4 % at reported exchange rates and grew by 4,1 % at comparable exchange rates compared with the corresponding quarter of the previous year.
  • Consumer Insight had a strong Q4 following the trend from previous quarters. High growth in consumer credit services continued both in the Finnish and Swedish markets.
  • Business Insight business area net sales developed decently. All business lines were growing, but highest growth was seen in Premium and Freemium services.
  • Digital Processes business area declined due to record high comparables and weakening housing market in Finland and Sweden. The negative development was partially mitigated by the continuing strong demand for Compliance services.

Adjusted EBITDA, EUR million

  • Adjusted EBITDA increased in the fourth quarter by 9,0 % at reported exchange rates and 13,4 % at comparable exchange rates compared with the corresponding quarter of the previous year.
  • Adjusted EBITDA growth compared to prior year was driven by the revenue growth and profitability improvement actions. In addition change in sales mix affected the profitability with net sales growth coming from services with lower variable costs.
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin was 37,2 % (34,0 %).

Adjusted operating profit (EBIT), EUR million

  • Depreciations related to capitalised development costs increased compared with the corresponding quarter of the previous year by EUR 0,1 million.
  • Adjusted EBIT margin was 30,9 % (28,1 %).

New services' share of net sales, %

  • New services accounted for 4,0 % of net sales in the fourth quarter. The share of new services declined following the variance between periods and due to the fact that the focus in 2022 was in launching key strategic services where customer implementations tend to take longer time.
  • The Group has remained active in investing in the service development and the investments are focused on the priorities outlined in the strategy. The key development areas for 2022 have already included launching of daily credit register and ESG service in Sweden.
  • A total of 6 new services were launched in the fourth quarter.

Free cash flow, EUR million

  • Free cash flow increased mainly due to lower development investments in intangible assets, while impact of operating cash flow was close to flat.
  • Operating cash flow before change in working capital increased in line with positive development in the Adjusted EBITDA. Impact of the change in net working capital was negative compared with the corresponding quarter of the previous year mainly due to increase of accounts receivables. Free cash flow was also impacted positively by lower investment activity in intangible and tangible assets, compared with the corresponding quarter of the previous year.
  • Items affecting comparability affected cash flow from operating activities in the fourth quarter by EUR 0,2 million (EUR 0,1 million).

FUTURE OUTLOOK

The general macroeconomic environment remains uncertain and unpredictable and is expected to impact negatively on the growth outlook of the Group. The weakening demand for sales and marketing and direct-to-consumer services is expected to negatively impact the net sales development. Enento expects increased demand for risk management and compliance services, which together with the introduction of new services will offset the decline. The discontinuance of the Swedish housing transaction service Tambur from second quarter onwards is estimated to have a negative impact up to -1.5% of the Group's net sales at comparable exchange rates.

Enento expects cost inflation to increasingly burden the profitability level of the Group and is mitigating the impact by the introduction of the efficiency program.

GUIDANCE

Net Sales: Enento Group expects net sales in 2023 to grow between 0% - 5% excluding the impact from the discontinued Tambur service at comparable exchange rates as compared to 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA: Enento Group expects its adjusted EBITDA margin to be in the range of 36,0% - 37,0%.

Comparable exchange rates mean that the effects of any changes in currencies are eliminated by calculating the figures for the previous period using current period's exchange rates.

JEANETTE JÄGER, CEO

I am pleased to report that our company had a successful year, achieving strong financial results and making considerable progress towards our key goals and initiatives.

Enento's year ended with moderate growth, and during the fiscal year our net sales increased by 5,1 % at comparable exchange rates and our adjusted EBITDA reached a new record level and increased by 5,9 % at comparable exchange rates. The results were in line with our long-term financial targets. Thanks to our resilient and scalable business model, our business has adapted well to the diverse impacts of the economic uncertainty around us.

Our revenue grew in line with our expectations in the final quarter of 2022. The Group's net sales amounted to EUR 42,9 million, representing year-on-year growth of 4,1 % at comparable exchange rates. Adjusted EBITDA increased by 13,4 % at comparable exchange rate and amounted to EUR 16,0 million. The Group's adjusted EBIT increased by 14,0 % at comparable exchange rates and amounted to EUR 13,3 million. The share of new services followed the recent development trend and was 4,0 % during the period under review.

Net sales increased in Consumer Insight and Business Insight business areas in the fourth quarter. Yet again, the net sales development was particularly supported by the strong demand for consumer credit information services in Finland and Sweden. In the Business Insight business area, we saw strong quarters from Premium and Freemium Solutions, while the net sales in Enterprise Solutions increased moderately compared to the reference period. The net sales of real estate and collateral information services at Digital Processes was clearly below comparison period, following the declining housing markets in Finland and Sweden, while Compliance services continued with significant growth compared to year before.

The year 2022 started with the hope that the pandemic would finally be over and that we could start a new and lighter phase in the world, but unfortunately the operating environment did not become easier. Despite the macroeconomic crises we are now facing, we have continued our journey to become the Nordic knowledge company. Some of our key accomplishments in the past year include launching several strategic services, such as the daily credit register in Sweden that has been well-received by customers, and the new ESG report in Sweden and improved sustainability offering in Finland. We have also increased our Nordic presence and customer base especially in Norway and Denmark. As we strive to achieve greater efficiency and productivity throughout our organization, we have continued investing in modern technologies and processes, with the goal of realizing synergies of scale. We are

again certified as a Great Place to Work and our customers, both consumers and companies, have given us excellent scores in customer satisfaction surveys. Our operations in Finland and Sweden have been audited and our ISO quality certification remains valid. These achievements, along with others, have contributed to a strong financial outcome for the year.

Of course, we also faced some challenges during the past year, including increasing cost pressure and market volatility. In December, one of our IT vendors in Sweden had an IT incident, which unfortunately impacted some of our online services for a brief period. However, we can be proud of how hard we worked as a team to solve the incident and minimize any damage to our customers. Overcoming obstacles gives me great confidence in our ability to continue delivering value to our customers and shareholders.

Looking ahead, we anticipate that 2023 will be a challenging year in terms of both growth and profitability. We announced an efficiency program to strengthen the long-term value creation, the execution of the transformation program, and to secure profitability development in the coming years. This initiative, together with the reshaped Nordic Business Platform program, is striving for permanent improvements in our cost structure, which are necessary for us to strengthen the foundation for future growth. Still, maintaining stability and availability of our services is of paramount importance to us and we are committed to ensure the security of our services. Besides activities around Operational Excellence, our priority during 2023 is to have Customer First in everything we do as we aim for a superior customer experience. Our ability to reach scale on a Nordic level will improve as we are focused on developing our Nordic culture, integration and offering as One Enento. We also prioritize the development and growth of our employees, fostering a culture of learning and innovation within the organization.

We continued to deliver growth and resilient results while we went through significant changes and the operating environment continued to be unpredictable. Our financial guidance for 2023 considers the continuing uncertainty in the operating environment, but our long-term financial targets remain unchanged, and we continue to target profitable growth according to these targets. In addition, the Board of Directors proposes distribution of funds of EUR 1.00 per share to the Annual General Meeting.

Overall, we are proud of what we have accomplished in the past year, and we are excited about the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead. I would like to thank our employees, customers and shareholders for your continued support and confidence in our company.

NET SALES

October – December

Enento Group's net sales in the fourth quarter amounted to EUR 42,9 million (EUR 43,1 million), representing a year-on-year decrease of 0,4 % at reported exchange rates and increase of 4,1 % at comparable exchange rates. Net sales from new services amounted to EUR 1,7 million (EUR 3,2 million), representing 4,0 % (7,4 %) of the total net sales for the fourth quarter. The positive development of the net sales continued in the Consumer Insight and Business Insight, while Digital Processes net sales declined. Growth was supported particularly by the continued strong demand for the Consumer Insight business area's consumer credit information services. The growth of the Business Insight net sales continued. Highest growth was seen in Premium and Freemium services, but also Enterprise services developed positively. Net sales of the Digital Processes business area declined due to the record high comparables and decreasing housing transaction levels both in the Finnish and Swedish markets. This was only partially mitigated by the strong continuing demand for the Compliance services. The number of banking days with a volume effect in the fourth quarter was the same as in the comparison period in Sweden, while in Finland there we 2 banking days less than in the comparison period.

The net sales of the Business Insight business area amounted to EUR 21,2 million (EUR 21,1 million) in the fourth quarter. Compared with the corresponding quarter in the previous year, the net sales of the business area increased by 0,3 % at reported exchange rates and by 4,2 % at comparable exchange rates. Net sales from Premium services for SMEs continued to grow strongly in Sweden thanks to successful sales efforts. Net sales from Freemium services increased especially in Norway following the continuing high demand and successful sales efforts likewise. Also, the development in enterprise

services aimed at large customers developed positively. In Sweden, demand for company information services progressed well.

The net sales of the Consumer Insight business area amounted to EUR 19,0 million (EUR 18,7 million) in the fourth quarter. Compared with the corresponding quarter in the previous year, the net sales of the business area increased by 1,6 % at reported exchange rates and 7,1 % at comparable exchange rates. The demand for the consumer credit information services both in Finland and Sweden continued to be at a high level in the fourth quarter. The net sales development of the consumer information services focused on sales and marketing in Finland continued during the fourth quarter to be negatively impacted by the lower market demand. The sales of direct to consumer services in the fourth quarter were slightly above previous year level. The business area continues to focus on customer implementations of the Swedish daily updated credit register, launched earlier this year, which supports better, more sustainable credit decisions based on on-time data, as well as other strategic development further enabling improved credit decisions and prevention of over-indebtedness.

The net sales of the Digital Processes business area amounted to EUR 2,8 million (EUR 3,3 million) in the fourth quarter. Compared with the corresponding quarter in the previous year, the net sales of the business area decreased by 15,2 % at reported exchange rates and 12,3 % at comparable exchange rates. The negative development was due to the softening housing markets and declining housing transaction levels in both countries, but especially in Sweden. The negative development was only partially mitigated by the continuing strong demand for the Finnish Compliance services. The sanctions imposed following the Russian invasion of Ukraine have significantly increased the customer demand for Compliance and "know-your-customer" -type of services. The business area has a strong focus on the development of digital services related to both housing and collateral management and Compliance processes that improve the customer experience and increase process efficiency. Digital Processes business area will continue to provide housing transaction services through Tambur-service until the end of first quarter in 2023.

January − December

Enento Group's net sales in the review period amounted to EUR 167,5 million (EUR 163,5 million), an increase of 2,5 % year-on-year at reported exchange rates and 5,1 % at comparable exchange rates. Net sales from new services were EUR 7,8 million (EUR 12,0 million), corresponding to 4,6 % (7,3 %) of the total net sales for the review period. The key drivers of net sales growth during the review period were the increased market demand for the Consumer Insight business area's consumer credit information services both in Finland and Sweden, the continued strong growth of the Digital Processes business area's Compliance services and the positive development of the Business Insight business area's Freemium and Premium services. The number of banking days with a volume effect was the same in Sweden. Finland had one business day less than in the the comparison period.

The net sales of the Business Insight business area during the review period amounted to EUR 79,4 million (EUR 78,5 million). Compared with the corresponding period in the previous year, the net sales of the business area increased by 1,1 % at reported exchange rates and 3,1 % at comparable exchange rates. The key drivers of net sales growth in the business area during the period under review were Premium services for SMEs and Freemium services focused on company visibility. Net sales from Freemium services developed strongly thanks to the growing demand for the display advertising and company visibility services. Net sales from Premium services for SMEs developed favorably, especially in Sweden. The development of the net sales of Enterprise services aimed at large companies was moderately positive in Sweden and more modest in Finland. The business area continues to invest in service development, which is a key factor behind the development of the business area's net sales.

Net sales for the Consumer Insight business area amounted to EUR 75,4 million (EUR 71,9 million) in the review period. Compared with the corresponding period in the previous year, the net sales of the business area increased by 4,9 % at reported exchange rates and 8,4 % at comparable exchange rates. During the period under review, the demand for consumer credit information services and decisionmaking services have continued to be at a high level, despite the challenging economic situation in the markets. In Finland, the removal of the temporarily stricter interest rate cap regulation had a particularly positive impact on development. In Sweden, the continued increase in the market demand had a significant favorable impact on the business area's net sales performance. Sales and marketing-related consumer information services in Finland have been impacted by the reduced market demand. Direct to consumer services remained in line with the comparison period, despite lower market demand in

both markets. Early this year business area introduced a daily updated credit register for the Swedish markets, that provides on-time positive credit data for decisioning purposes and helps customers to make better and more sustainable credit decisions. Even though customer implementations take a long time, the majority of smaller customers have already implemented the service, and the remainder are in the progress of implementing it. The business area continues with its strategic development that supports better credit decision making and helps to prevent over-indebtedness.

The net sales for the Digital Processes business area in the review period amounted to EUR 12,7 million (EUR 13,1 million). Compared with the corresponding period in the previous year, the net sales of the business area decreased by 3,0 % at reported exchange rates and decreased by 0,9 % at comparable exchange rates. Activity in the housing market has declined both in Finland and Sweden, which had a negative impact on the net sales performance of our housing-related digital services. However, the strong demand for the Compliance and "know-your-customer- type of services sparked by Russia's invasion of Ukraine has helped to mitigate the negative trend in the real estate services. The business area will continue its' strategic investments in the service development of digitalisation of data-intensive processes related to housing and collateral management as well as Compliance processes. These are areas where improving the customer experience and process efficiency continues to hold significant potential for value creation.

Banks to terminate cooperation agreement with Enento relating to Swedish housing transaction platform

As a part of Enento Group Plc's operations in Sweden, the Company provides a platform for supporting housing transaction processes for banks and real estate brokers under the Tambur Brand, which the Company has developed over the past years based on an agreement with a consortium of seven banks in Sweden. The platform forms part of the Company's Digital Processes Business Area in Sweden. The consortium has informed Enento that it is terminating the cooperation agreement in accordance with its terms and will use its right to purchase the related platform consisting of software and source code. The Banks will pay 16 million Swedish kronas (appr. 1.5 million euro) for acquiring the platform. Based on the termination notice period, the transfer of the platform is currently expected to take place earliest during the second quarter of 2023, but negotiations regarding terms of the operations under transition period and timeline for the transition continue.

The Company booked an impairment in relation to development expenses of EUR 1,6 million due to the future discontinuation of the service. The impairment impacted the first quarter 2022 Adjusted EBIT by EUR 1,6 million of which the effect on Adjusted EBITDA was EUR 0,3 million. The net sales from the services offered based on the housing transaction platform represents approximately one third of the net sales of the Digital Processes Business Area.

EVENTS AFTER THE REVIEW PERIOD

Enento Group announces an 8-million-euro annualized efficiency program, write-downs of platform development investments and confirms guidance for 2022, long-term financial targets

Enento Group announced an 8-million-euro annualized efficiency program, write-downs of platform development investments and confirmed guidance for 2022 and long-term financial targets on 26 January 2023.

The program aims for efficiencies of at least EUR 8 million in total during 2023-2024. Full amount of the estimated benefits will be realized in free cash flow from 2025 onwards. More than half of the EUR 8 million benefits will result as permanent improvement in the adjusted EBITDA, whereas the remaining cash flow benefits materialize as reduced capitalized expenditure and facility costs. The largest efficiency measures relate to reduction of number of employees and improved IT efficiency and decommissioning of low-profitability products and services.

As part of the program, Enento will start change negotiations in Finland, Sweden, and Norway in accordance with the respective local legislations. The aim of the negotiations is to permanently adjust the company's cost structure and number of personnel to meet the demand of the changed market situation. The negotiations concern all employees in the respective countries and the estimated need for permanent personnel reductions is approximately 40 people. The aim is to conclude the negotiations during the first quarter of 2023 in all countries.

Enento has decided to write-down partially the platform development investments, resulting in a onetime negative impact of approximately EUR 10 million on the company's operating profit of 2022. The write-down will impact the last quarter of 2022 and has no effect on cash flow, adjusted operating profit (adjusted EBIT) or adjusted EBITDA.

Enento will communicate on the progress of the efficiency program on a quarterly basis as part of its regular financial reporting. The restructuring and other direct costs connected to the program will be treated as items affecting comparability. Investments that meet capitalization criteria will be treated as normal investments.

Request for an additional clarification from the Finnish Data Protection Ombudsman (DPA)

The Finnish Data Protection Ombudsman (DPA) has on 16 January 2023 sent to Suomen Asiakastieto Oy a request for an additional clarification concerning the payment default entries that Asiakastieto has made to credit registers based on legally binding court decisions. Based on the case description on the letter, DPA is concerned about Asiakastieto having made payment default entries to credit registers on legally binding decisions where there has still been dispute about the correct amount the person had to pay. Due to the dispute the person not paying did not implicate the unwillingness or inability to pay, so these cases shouldn´t have been recorded as payment defaults. Office of the Data Protection Ombudsman's sanctions board will now consider, if it is, based on the General Data Protection Regulation, justified to impose an administrative fine on Asiakastieto.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES IN THE NEAR FUTURE

The demand for the Group's products and services depends on the activity of the business operations of its customers. Slow economic growth or a declining economy may result in a weakening demand for the services of Enento Group. In addition, regulatory changes that reduce the lending ability of the Group's customers may have a negative effect on the demand for the Group's services and products.

War in Ukraine increases the economic uncertainty in the Nordic countries and globally. The war has a negative impact on macro-economic development and economic activity, which decreases the Group´s ability to predict the demand for its services and causes a risk of weakening revenue development. Enento Group does not have business in Ukraine, Russia or Belarus.

The Group´s customers are financially sound companies in the financial industry, whose credit risk is assessed to be low by the Group. For managing liquidity risk, the Group has unused credit arrangements and the Group does not have any external loans maturing before September 2025.

The exchange rate risk arising from the volatility of the Nordic currencies is primarily managed by operational means. Sales and purchases are mainly generated in the operating currency of each Group company. As a result, the Group is not exposed to any significant transaction risk. The Group manages translation risk by financing its business operations outside Finland in the local currency. This means that changes in operating profit arising from the fluctuation of exchange rates can be partly offset by the changes in financing costs. The Group's reporting currency is euro and the Group has significant business operations denominated in the Swedish krona and the Norwegian krone. Consequently, changes in the exchange rates have an impact on the development of the Group's reported net sales, EBITDA and profit.

A general tendency to seek cost savings in business activities and the tightening competition in the Group's business sector may cause downward pricing pressure, which may have a negative effect on revenue and profit.

Enento Group is operating in a regulated business and changes in the applicable regulation may impact on revenue and profit. Such regulation may concern, but are not limited to data protection, credit information as well as lending -related legislation. Any governmental plans to change credit information register- related regulations or potential introduction of governmental credit information registers may change the competitive landscape and / or otherwise impact Enento's business, revenue and profit. Also, the failure to comply with regulations could have legal consequences and cause reputational harm.

Enento Group believes that its continued success will be influenced by its ability to meet customers' needs through the development of products and services that are easy to use and that seek to increase customers' business process efficiency, offer cost savings, and facilitate better business decisions. Potential deficiencies in the management of the product development portfolio, as well as a shortage of development resources, may delay the introduction of new services or enhancements to the market and therefore weaken the Group's results.

Well-functioning information technology and good availability of services, cyber security and mitigation of cyber risks are essential conditions for the business operations of Enento Group. Notwithstanding the current solutions for high availability and protection solutions in accordance with best practices, the realisation of external or internal threats can never be completely eliminated. The realisation of risks of this kind could result in misuse, modification or illegal publication of information and could have legal consequences or cause reputational harm, loss of revenue, claims or regulatory actions.

PROPOSAL CONCERNING THE DISTRIBUTION OF FUNDS

At the end of the financial year 2022, distributable funds of the Group's parent company amounted to EUR 403 535 449,59, of which the profit for the financial year was EUR 30 502 626,82. The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting convening on 28 March 2023 that from the financial year ended 31 December 2022, funds be distributed EUR 1,00 per share, EUR 24 034 856,00 in total based on the Company's registered total number of shares at the time of the proposal, as follows:

PROPOSAL CONCERNING THE DISTRIBUTION OF FUNDS
EUR / share EUR
From the invested unrestricted equity reserve as
a repayment of capital 1,00 24 034 856,00
To be retained in unrestricted equity 379 500 593,59
Total 403 535 449,59

The equity repayment from the reserve for invested unrestricted shareholders' equity will be paid to a shareholder registered in the company's shareholders' register held by Euroclear Finland Ltd on the payment record date of 30 March 2023. The Board of Directors proposes that the funds be paid on 11 April 2023.

Notes

2.1. Accounting policies

This financial statement release has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The accounting policies and methods applied in the Financial Statement Release are the same as those applied in the financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2022.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires Enento Group's management to use estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as the reported amounts of income and expenses for the review period. In addition, it is necessary to exercise judgment in applying the accounting policies. Because estimates and assumptions are based on the understanding as at the end of the interim period, they include risks and uncertainties. The actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions made. Critical accounting estimates and judgments are disclosed in more detail under Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements for the year 2022.

The foreign subsidiaries' income statements and cash flows have been converted into euro on a monthly basis using the monthly average exchange rate issued by the European Central Bank, and balance sheets have been converted using the exchange rate issued by the European Central Bank on the end date of the period. Conversion of the profit for the period using different exchange rates for the income statement and balance sheet causes a translation difference in the balance sheet recognised in equity. The change in equity is recognised in other comprehensive income.

The amounts presented in the financial statement release are consolidated figures. The amounts presented are rounded, so the sum of individual figures may thus differ from the sum reported. The figures presented in this financial statement release have not been audited.

Changes in accounting policies

Enento Group has applied IFRS 16 Leases standard since 1.1.2019. The Group has previously treated leases for IT equipment as low value items and thus outside the scope of IFRS 16 accounting. The Group has systematically switched to leasing IT equipment, and as of 1.1.2022, the Group started reporting leases for IT equipment in accordance with IFRS 16. The Group recognized an asset and a financial liability for the payment of rents in the balance sheet. Depreciation of right-of-use asset and interest expenses on lease liabilities are recognized in the income statement.

As a result of the change, the Group's right-of-use assets and lease liabilities increased by EUR 0,7 million on 1.1.2022. The change does not have a material impact on the income statement.

New standards and interpretations and changes in accounting policies not yet adopted

Enento Group adopts new and amended standards and interpretations on their effective date or, if the date is other than the first day of the financial year, from the beginning of the subsequent financial year.

The IFRS standards and IFRIC interpretations that have already been published but are not yet in effect are not expected to have a material impact on Enento Group.

Enento Group has announced an efficiency program in January 2023. The efficiency program is explained more in detail in section Events after the review period in the Financial Statement Release. The restructuring and other direct costs connected to the program will be treated as items affecting comparability. Investments that meet capitalization criteria will be treated as normal investments. The operating expenses related to the efficiency program will be reported as items affecting comparability.

The Company took out the term loan partly in EUR and partly in SEK in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement. The loans mature in September 2025. The loan agreement includes two one-year options for extension of the loan period. At the end of the review period, the Company had used EUR 0 (EUR 0) of its credit facility.

The Group does not report the minimum leases of low-value lease agreements and IT service agreements as lease liabilities, excluding IT equipment. IT equipment lease liabilities are reported under IFRS 16, see note 2.1. Accounting policies.

Contingent liabilities

The Finnish Data Protection Ombudsman (DPA) has on 16 January 2023 sent to Suomen Asiakastieto Oy a request for an additional clarification concerning the payment default entries that Asiakastieto has made to credit registers based on legally binding court decisions. Based on the case description on the letter, DPA is concerned about Asiakastieto having made payment default entries to credit registers on legally binding decisions where there has still been dispute about the correct amount the person had to pay. Due to the dispute the person not paying did not implicate the unwillingness or inability to pay, so these cases shouldn´t have been recorded as payment defaults. Office of the Data Protection Ombudsman's sanctions board will now consider, if it is, based on the General Data Protection Regulation, justified to impose an administrative fine on Asiakastieto.

2.7. Transactions with related parties

Related parties of the Group consist of group entities, associated companies and shareholders having a significant influence over the Group.

NOTE 1. KEY FINANCIAL INFORMATION FOR THE GROUP

Enento Group Plc presents alternative performance measures as additional information for key performance measures in the consolidated statements of income, financial position and cash flows prepared according to IFRS to reflect the financial development of its business operations and to enhance comparability from period to period. According to the management's view, alternative performance measures provide substantial supplemental information on the result of the Group's operations, financial position and cash flows to the management and investors, securities analysts and other parties. Alternative performance measures are not, as such, included in the consolidated financial statements prepared according to IFRS, but they are derived from the IFRS consolidated financial statements by adjusting items in the consolidated statements of income, financial position and cash flows and/or by proportioning them to each other. Alternative performance measures should not be considered as a substitute for measures in accordance with IFRS. All companies do not calculate alternative performance measures in a uniform way. Therefore, the company's alternative performance measures are not necessarily comparable with similarly named performance measures of other companies.

The alternative performance measures of this financial statement release have been calculated applying the same principles as presented in the Board of Directors' Annual Report for 2022.
