At the end of the financial year, additional loss allowances based on the management's judgement and fair value adjustments remain for the use by the Company in total EUR 8.3 million.
The Company's profitable growth will continue driven by investments in customer experience and service network. The SME customer business to be acquired from Handelsbanken will improve the Company's profitability from the second half of 2024 onwards.

We estimate the Group's comparable profit before taxes to remain at the current excellent level in the financial year 2024 (comparable profit before taxes was EUR 143.6 million in financial year 2023). More about the outlook in the Financial Statements Release on page 24.
The Board of Directors proposes that, based on the Financial Statements to be approved for 2023, an actual dividend of EUR 0.67 and an additional dividend of EUR 0.33 to be paid from the Parent Company's distributable profits for each share entitled to a dividend for 2023. The actual dividend is in line with the Company's dividend policy and an additional dividend is proposed due to the record result for the financial year 2023 and exceptionally strong Net interest income.
No material changes have taken place in the Company's financial position after the financial year. The Company's liquidity is good, and the proposed profit distribution does not compromise the Company's liquidity according to the Board of Directors' insight.

Finland's economy is in recession and, according to the Bank of Finland's forecast, the economy will only start to recover at the end of the year 2024. Interest rate and elevated prices as well as the uncertainty about the future are slowing down the growth. The notable reduction in investments also affects the recovery of the economy. (1 The year-on-year change in consumer prices calculated by Statistics Finland was 3.6% in December. The rise in inflation compared to a year ago was influenced, among other things, by the rise in the average interest rate on mortgages and the rise of interest rates on consumer loans. (3
Inflation has slowed down in recent months, but it is likely to pick up again temporarily in the near term. The European Central Bank is determined to ensure that inflation returns to its 2% medium-term target in a timely manner. In December 2023, ECB decided to keep the three key interest rates unchanged. In 2023, the ECB raised key interest rates by a total of 1.0 percentage points. (2 Financial conditions in Finland have tightened during 2023 and, after the rise of the interest rates in the beginning of the year, the interest rates have turned to a slight decline at the end of the year. During January-December, the quotation of the 12-month Euribor rate has risen approximately by 0.2 percentage points. (11
Along with the rise in interest rates, the tightening of monetary policy, the rise in prices and weak export demand have influenced the economic growth in Finland. According to the preliminary calculations of the Bank of Finland, the GDP is predicted to decrease by 0.5% in 2023 and by 0.2% in 2024. In 2025, economic growth is projected to pick up to 1.5% and to 1.3% in 2026. (1
In July-September, the seasonally adjusted savings rate of households increased by 3.4% compared to the previous quarter.

The corporate investment rate remained at the level of the previous quarter and was 29.8%. (4

At the same time, the number of sales of old dwellings in blocks of flats and terraced houses made through real estate agents decreased by 23% from the comparison period. (6
In December, mortgage withdrawals were made in total of EUR 1.3 billion, which is EUR 270 million more than in the previous year. (7 The demand for housing loans may have been positively affected by the government's decision to change the real estate transfer taxation law. (8 In December, the medium interest rate of new mortgages was 4.42%. In December 2023, the annual growth of all loans for households decreased by 1.3%. The volume of corporate loans rose 1.2% over the same period. Over the 12-month period, the number of household deposits reduced by a total of 2.8%. (7
In January-December 2023, the number of bankruptcies filed increased by 24.9% compared to the previous year.

The Group's Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) remained at a good level, standing at 248.9% at the end of the last quarter. The Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) was 117.8%.
Prolonged inflation and high interest rates reflect as an increase in uncertainty particularly in refinancing markets. The increased interest rate level, on the other hand, can be seen in the increased costs of market-based financing. Despite the increase in costs, the availability of financing has remained at a good level. Despite the general economic uncertainty, the Company's liquidity has remained stable in the last fourth quarter, in addition to which bonds issued by the Company have strengthened its liquidity position and reduced refinancing risk.

Based on the Company's assessment, the effects of the Russian invasion war remained limited on the Company's credit base, which is why the Company released EUR 0.9 million of the additional loss allowances related to the corona pandemic and the Russian invasion war during the first quarter.

The Company's project of transitioning to the application of the IRB approach is progressing as planned. In the first stage, the Company is applying for permission to apply an internal risk classification under the IRB approach to calculate capital requirements for retail credit risk liabilities. Later, the Company will apply for a similar permission for other types of liabilities. In February 2022, the Company has applied to the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority (FIN-FSA) for the application of the IRB approach in capital adequacy, after which the application process has progressed based on dialogue with the supervisor.
In addition, the Company has reform projects ongoing regarding regulatory reporting.
In May, the Company and Handelsbanken agreed on an arrangement whereby the Company will acquire Handelsbanken's SME enterprise operations in Finland. The transaction is expected to be finalized during the second half of 2024. The exact date will be specified later. As part of the purchase of the SME enterprise operations, entrepreneurs' private banking services will also be transferred to the Company, excluding asset management and investment services. The SME enterprise operations to be purchased are geographically located all over Finland.
The size of the deposit base transferring to the Company was approximately EUR 1.2 billion and the lending volume is approximately EUR 460 million in the situation on 31 March 2023. The target of the business transaction is in total approximately 14,000 SME customers. The personal banking services of entrepreneurs transferring are not included in the above figures.
At the same time, around 40 people from Handelsbanken will transfer to the Company as old employees.
With the arrangement the banks' market position will strengthen among SMEs in Finland. The growing business volumes will further improve the Company's cost efficiency and business profitability, and substantially strengthen the annual profit-making ability. The transferring deposit base will strengthen the Company's liquidity position, and there is no separate financing need for the business arrangement. The business deal has no material effect on the Company's capital adequacy. The purchase price is the net value of the balance sheet items to be transferred at closing plus EUR 15 million. The purchase price will be paid in cash, so the transaction has no impact on the number of Company's shares outstanding. Authority approval for the transaction was received on 24 July 2023.
In January, the Company's Shareholders' Nomination Committee proposed the Annual General Meeting of the Company the number of Board members to be further confirmed at seven. The Shareholders' Nomination Committee proposes that the Board members Aila Hemminki, Aki Jaskari, Jyrki Mäkynen, Jaakko Ossa, Jarmo Salmi and Jaana Sandström to be re-elected and as a new member Essi Kautonen.
Other events following the end of the reporting period that would require the presentation of additional information or that would materially affect the Company's financial position are unknown.

The Company aims to pay a steady and growing dividend, at least 20% of net income. The Company's Board of Directors assesses the balance between the dividend or capital return to be distributed and the amount of own funds required by the Company's capital adequacy requirements and target on an annual basis and makes a proposal on the amount of dividend or capital return to be distributed.
The Board of Directors proposes that, based on the Financial Statements to be approved for 2023, an actual dividend of EUR 0.67 and an additional dividend of EUR 0.33, i.e. total of EUR 1.00 to be paid from the Parent Company's distributable profits for each share entitled to a dividend for 2023. The actual dividend is in line with the Company's dividend policy and an additional dividend is proposed due to the record result for the financial year 2023 and exceptionally strong Net interest income. Proposed record date for dividends would be 28 March 2024 and payment date 8 April 2024.
No significant changes took place in the Company's financial position after the financial year. The Company's liquidity is good, and the proposed profit distribution does not compromise the Company's liquidity according to the Board of Directors' insight.
The Company has financial goals set by the Board of Directors for growth, profitability, return on equity and capital adequacy. The Company's Board of Directors has confirmed the following financial goals:
Growth: 10–15 percent annual growth in total operating income under the current market conditions. Profitability: Cost/income ratio less than 45 percent. Return on equity (ROE): Long-term return on equity (ROE) over 16 percent.
Capital adequacy: Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio at least 2 percentage points above regulatory requirement.
The Company will publish financial information in 2024 as follows:
29 Apr 2024 Interim Report Jan-Mar 2024 29 Jul 2024 Interim Report Jan-Jun 2024 28 Oct 2024 Interim Report Jan-Sep 2024
The Company's Financial Statement, Annual Report and Auditor's Report for 2023 will be published on week 10.
The Company's profitable growth will continue driven by investments in customer experience and service network. The SME customer business to be acquired from Handelsbanken will improve the Company's profitability from the second half of 2024 onwards.
Oma Savings Bank Plc provides earnings guidance on comparable profit before taxes for 2024. A verbal description is used to make a comparison with the comparative period. Earnings guidance is based on the forecast for the entire year, which takes into account the current market and business situation. Forecasts are based on the management's insight into the Group's business development.
We estimate the Group's comparable profit before taxes to remain at the current excellent level in the financial year 2024 (comparable profit before taxes was EUR 143.6 million in financial year 2023).

The total capital (TC) ratio of Oma Savings Bank Group increased and was 16.5 (14.9)% at the end of the period. The Common Equity Tier 1 capital (CET1) ratio was 14.9 (13.3)%, being above the minimum level of the mediumterm financial goal set by the Company's Board. As of 1 July 2023, the updated target level for the Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio is at least 2 percentage points above the regulatory requirement, whereby the target level reflects the buffer to the regulatory requirement in accordance with market practice.
Risk-weighted assets grew 29.6% to EUR 3,300.0 (2,546.5) million. Risk-weighted assets grew most significantly due to the acquisition of Liedon Savings Bank's business. Oma Savings Bank Group applies in the capital requirement calculation for credit risk calculation the standardised approach and for operational risk the basic indicator approach. The basic method is applied when calculating the capital requirement for market risk for the foreign exchange position. The Company's transition
project to the application of the IRB approach is proceeding as planned.
At the end of the review period, the capital structure of the Group was strong and consisted mostly of Common Equity Tier 1 capital (CET1). The Group's own funds (TC) of EUR 544.5 (379.0) million exceeded by EUR 148.1 million the total capital requirement for own funds EUR 396.5 (305.8) million. Own funds increased most significantly by the EUR 65 million share issue to Liedon Savings Bank and retained earnings for the financial year 2023, which have been included in the Common Equity Tier 1 capital with the permission granted by the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority (FIN-FSA). In addition, own funds were increased by a EUR 20 million debenture loan issued in February. The Group´s leverage ratio was 6.3 (5.6)% at the end of the period, while the binding leverage ratio requirement was 3%.

Buffer requirements are among others the capital conservation buffer (2.5%) set by the Credit Institution Act, the discretionary SREP requirement according to Pillar II, the countercyclical buffer requirement and the systematic risk buffer.
In its decision of 27 February 2023, the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority (FIN-FSA) maintained the SREP requirement for Oma Savings Bank Plc based on the supervisory authority's estimate at 1.5% unchanged. The decision is valid until further notice from 30 June 2023, but no later than 30 June 2026. SREP requirement is possible to be partially covered by Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital in addition to Common Equity Tier 1. According to the overall assessment based on risk indicators, there are no grounds for applying a countercyclical buffer, and thus the Finnish Financial Authority (FIN-FSA) maintained the requirement of countercyclical buffer at its basic level of 0%.
On 30 March 2023, the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority (FIN-FSA) imposed a systemic risk buffer requirement of 1.0% for Finnish credit institutions in order to strengthen the risk-bearing capacity of the banking
(1,000 euros) Buffer requirements

The indicative additional capital recommendation of 1.0% must be covered by Common Equity Tier 1 capital and the recommendation is valid until further notice as of 31 March 2024. The discretionary additional capital requirement of 0.25% for the leverage ratio (Pillar II), must be covered by Tier 1 capital and the requirement is valid until further notice as of 31 March 2024, but no later than 31 March 2026.
The minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL) imposed by the Financial Stability Authority for Oma Savings Bank Plc in the Resolution Act consists of an overall risk-based requirement (9.5%) and a requirement based on the total amount of liabilities used to calculate the leverage ratio (3.0%).

The Group's parent Company is Oma Savings Bank Plc, whose domicile is in Seinäjoki and head office is in Lappeenranta, Valtakatu 32, 53100 Lappeenranta. Copies of the Financial Statements, Financial Statements Release, Interim and Half-Year Financial Reports are available on the bank's website www.omasp.fi.
Oma Savings Bank Group is formed as follows:
• Real estate company Lappeenrannan Säästökeskus holding 100%
• Housing company Seinäjoen Oma Savings Bank house holding 30.5%
The Financial Statements Release is drawn up in accordance with the IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting standard. The accounting principles for Financial Statements Release are the same as for the 2022 Financial Statements.
The figures of the Financial Statements Release are presented in thousands of euros unless otherwise specified. The figures in the notes are rounded off, so the combined sum of single figures may deviate from the grand total presented in a table or a calculation. The accounting and functional currency of the Group and its companies is the euro.
The Board of Directors has approved the Financial Statements Release 1 January – 31 December 2023 in its meeting on 5 February 2024.
Future new standards, changes to standards or interpretations effective or published on 1 January 2023 have not a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, future new standards or changes to standards published by the IASB are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
The preparation of this Financial Statements Release in accordance with IFRS has required certain estimates and assumptions from the Group's management that affects the number of items presented in the Financial Statements Release and the information provided in the notes. The management's key estimates concern the future and key uncertainties about the reporting date. They relate to, among other things, fair value assessment, impairment of financial assets, loans and other assets, investment assets and tangible and intangible assets. Although the estimates are based on the management's current best view, it is possible that the realisations differ from the estimates used in the Financial Statements Release.
The uncertainties contained in the accounting principles that require management's judgement and those contained in the estimates are described in the 2022 Financial Statements. Uncertainty in the economic environment due to the effects of inflation and the continuing increase in interest rates may bring changes to the estimates presented in the Financial Statements that require management judgement.
The application of the impairment losses on financial assets model under IFRS 9 requires the management to make estimates and assumptions about whether the credit risk associated with the financial instrument has increased significantly since the initial recognition and requires forward-looking information to be considered in the recognition of on-demand credit losses.
The Company has not made any significant changes to the calculation model during the financial year, but the calculation parameters used as input data for the model have been updated as part of the development of the ECL model during the fourth quarter. The calculation of expected credit losses is based on coherent calculation rules and on calculation portfolio-based credit risk models, which are used to define the calculation parameters. The Group's loan portfolio is divided into following calculation portfolios:
The portfolios of private customers and the SME customers form the two clearly largest calculation portfolios. Calculation of the expected credit loss on each portfolio is based on the amount of the liability at the time of the Exposure at Default (EAD), the Probability of Default (PD) and the Loss Given Default (LGD). As a basis in the determination of the parameters, the Company uses the historical payment behavior of the customer and customer data as well as the liability and the collateral value. The forward-looking determination on values of the PD variables and the LGD variables makes use of macroeconomic forecasts for the future development of the Finnish economy, i.e. the change in GDP, housing price development and the number of employed.
Determining fair values in a business combination requires judgement on the part of the Company's management regarding the recording of the transferred consideration and identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities and valuing them at fair value. The receivables transferred in connection with the acquisition of Liedon Savings Bank's business were valued at fair value in connection with the acquisition. The fair value adjustment based on management's judgement amounts to a total of EUR 7.3 million at the time of reporting. In addition, in connection with the acquisition, the Company recognised a liability of EUR 15.0 million at fair value through profit or loss for the
five-year periodic concerning the liability of Liedon Savings Bank as a credit institution member leaving the consortium of Savings Banks. The amount of the liability at fair value through profit and loss is unchanged in the review period. During the reporting period, the amount of liability at fair value through profit and loss in connection with Eurajoen Savings Bank's business transaction has been reassessed and the amount of debt has been reduced by EUR 0.7 million.

During 2023, strongly rising interest rates turned to decline in the last quarter of the year. However, inflationary pressures will remain at a higher level than normal as a result of low unemployment and higher wage levels, when interest rates will presumably continue to show large swings during 2024. The new interest environment is also reflected in the competitive bidding of deposits, as banks offer an even higher deposit rate. At the same time, households' overall savings development in Finland is on the decline, as the vast majority of available funds go to consumption instead of saving as a result of the increased cost of living for consumption. Despite the general uncertainty in the economy, the Company's liquidity has remained stable thanks to a broad financing base. The Company further strengthened its liquidity by issuing a covered bond in November 2023. With the issuance, the Company will refinance the EUR 300 million covered bond maturing at the beginning of April 2024.
The management of Oma Savings Bank Plc's liquidity risk is based on the Company's ability to procure sufficient cash that is competitive in price in both the short and long term. A key component of liquidity risk management is the planning of the liquidity position in both the short and long term. Additionally, the planning of the liquidity reserve prepares for deteriorating economic conditions in the market and possible changes in legislation. The goal of the Company's liquidity reserve is to cover one month's outflows. Liquidity risk management is supported by active risk management, monitoring of the balance sheet and cash flows and internal calculation models. The Company's liquidity is monitored daily by the Company's Treasury unit. The main objective of the Treasury unit is to ensure that the liquidity position always remains above the regulated and internally set threshold values. The function monitors and measures the amounts of incoming and outgoing cash flows and assesses the possible occurrence of liquidity shortfalls over the course of the day.
The Group's liquidity ratio (LCR), which describes shortterm liquidity, was 248.9% on 31 December
The Company has increased buffers in response to a weakening economic cycle and continues to maintain and strengthen liquidity and capital buffers. During the first quarter of the year, the Company issued a debenture loan, with which it increased capital buffers. The bonds issued in spring and in November, in turn, strengthened the liquidity position and reduced refinancing risk. In addition, the Company has implemented hedging operations against interest rate risk.

Credit risk refers to the risk that a contracting party to a financial instrument will not be able to meet its obligations, thereby causing the other party a financial loss. Oma Savings Bank Plc's credit risk primarily consists of exposures secured by immovable property, retail exposures and corporate loans. The goal of credit risk management is to limit the profit and loss and capital adequacy effects of risks resulting from customer exposures to an acceptable level. Credit risk management and procedures have been described in Note G2 of the 2022 Financial Statements.
The rise in interest rates and costs, as well as the waning of economic growth, have increased customers' payment difficulties, and this is reflected in the increase in insolvent loans and expected credit losses. The share of short arrears, on the other hand, has remained at a low level.

Share of insolvent responsibilities of total loan portfolio was 2.1 (1.6)% in the end of the review period. At the same time matured and non-performing receivables from the loan portfolio rose and were 2.9 (2.2)%. The Company monitors the development of possible payment delays and repayment exemption applications as well as the development of values of collaterals.
During the review period, the company released a fair value adjustment of EUR 0.7 million related to Liedon Savings Bank's corporate restructuring and an additional LGD allowance of EUR 0.7 million related to the correction of ECL model for private customers. As a result of the final credit loss write-offs, additional allowances that had been made in anticipation of credit losses were released in the last quarter by EUR 12.5 million. In addition, an additional allowance of EUR 1.0 million was made due to uncertainties in the economic environment.
The Company classifies its customers into risk classes based on information available on the counterparty. The classification uses its own internal assessment and external credit rating data. Monitoring is continuous and can lead to a transfer from one risk class to another.
In lending, risk concentration may occur, for example, when the loan portfolio includes large amounts of loans and other liabilities:

Risk rating 1: Low-risk items are considered to include the Company's internal credit rating of AAA level private, corporate, housing association and AAA-AA+ level agricultural customers.
Risk rating 2: Reasonable risk items include the Company's internal credit rating of AA-B+ level private customers, AA-A+ level corporate and housing associations and AA-A level agricultural customers.
Risk rating 3: Increased risk items include the Company's internal credit rating of B-C-level private customers and A-B-level corporate and housing associations, as well as B+-B-level agricultural customers.
Risk rating 4: The highest risk items are considered to be the Company's internal credit rating of D-level private customers, C-level corporate and housing associations, C-D-level agricultural customers and defaulted customers.
Other customers are based on the Company's internal assessment of the risk rating.
The 'No rating' item includes loans and debt securities for which the Company has not defined credit ratings or for which there are no external credit ratings available.
During the third quarter of the year the Company updated its internal credit risk models and due to this the comparison is not fully comparable. The update has increased the number of risk grades for private and corporate customers which is why the risk ratings shown in the below tables have been redefined. Risk grades have not been calculated retroactively for the customers and due to this the comparison figures are not updated. Comparison figures per risk rating are the same as has been previously reported.

Oma Savings Bank Plc's most significant source of operational risk is cyber risks. The operational environment has changed with the Russian invasion war and the likelihood of a cyberattack has increased. The IT-risk is protected with many different methods and protection against cyberattacks applies not only to the IT environment but also to the entire personnel. Cyber threats and other risks, such as interruptions of electricity supply, have been identified in cooperation with service providers to ensure that the Company is well prepared in the event of a possible disruption. The Company has updated its own preparedness measures and operating guidelines by assessing various threat scenarios and their probabilities and impacts. The authorities have also developed their own precautionary measures.

The Company's management has assessed the effects of the corona pandemic and the Russian invasion war on an industry-byindustry basis. In the first quarter, an additional ECL allowance based on management's judgement was released by EUR 0.9 million. During the reporting period, an additional allowance of EUR 0.7 million for LGD was released. The fair value adjustment recorded in connection with the acquisition of Liedon Savings Bank based on management's judgement has been allocated in the second quarter of EUR 0.7 million.

In February, Oma Savings Bank Plc increased its shareholding in housing Company Seinäjoen Oma Savings Bank house by acquiring more space for its businesses. The Company's shareholding in the Company is after the arrangement 30.5%.
In September, Oma Savings Bank Plc increased its shareholding in City Kauppapaikat Oy through a directed share issue. The Company's shareholding in the Company after the arrangement is 43.3%. The value of the investment in the consolidated balance sheet is EUR 15.5 million.
During the reporting period, Oma Savings Bank Plc estimates the value of the investments of SAV Rahoitus Oy and City Kauppapaikat Oy compiled by the equity method, as well as the receivables from the companies, which have been factually processed as part of a net investment in the associated company.
As a result of the arrangement carried out in June, Oma Savings Bank Plc's control was removed from SAV-Rahoitus Oyj, which had previously been consolidated as a subsidiary. After the arrangement, the Company's ownership in the Company is 48.2% and it will be consolidated as a joint venture based on the shareholders' agreement using the equity method. In this context, the value of the Company's remaining investment was valued at fair value. The effect of the change on the profit was EUR 0.5 million.
In November, Oma Savings Bank Plc increased its shareholding in City Kauppapaikat Oy through a directed share issue. The Company's shareholding in the Company after the arrangement is 42.7%. The value of the shareholding after the change is EUR 17.8 million.

In September 2022, the Company's Board of Directors decided to acquire the business of Liedon Savings Bank in accordance with the acquisition plan. In accordance with a decision made by the governing body of Liedon Savings Bank, Liedon Savings Bank transferred its entire business to the Company except for the minor assets mentioned in the acquisition plan. The registration date for the implementation of the business transfer was 28 February 2023. The purchase price of the business acquisition was paid partly by issuing shares and partly in cash.
The values of the assets acquired and liabilities taken to bear were at the time of acquisition:
| Acquisition of business | EUR million |
|---|---|
| Loans and advances to public and credit institutions |
1,167.0 |
| Accruals and other assets | 45.8 |
| Fixed assets | 5.5 |
| Deposits from public and credit institutions | -1,117.8 |
| Accruals and other liabilities | -11.8 |
| Lease liabilities | -5.5 |
| Liability, consortium of saving banks | -15.0 |
| Acquired net assets | 68.0 |
| Purchase price, in cash | 7.5 |
| Purchase price, equity instruments | 65.0 |
| Total cost of combination | 72.5 |
| Goodwill | 4.4 |
As a result of the acquisition, EUR 4.4 million was recognised in goodwill. The acquisition of the business is estimated to have a significant positive impact on the Company's annual profitability and is expected to increase the Company's profit before taxes by approximately EUR 15–20 million annually over the next few years. In the longer term, business in the Turku economic area is expected to significantly increase the Company's earnings. Increasing volumes further improve the Company's cost-effectiveness and
business profitability. Goodwill is formed as the difference between the net assets of the acquired business and the purchase price.
In connection with the transitioning of the business, a liability of EUR 15.0 million valued at fair value was recognised in the Company's balance sheet to cover a payment obligation related to the fixed-term liability of Liedon Savings Bank being a credit institution member leaving the consortium of Savings Banks (Act on the Consortium of Deposit Banks 599/2010). The liability is valid for five years.
Assets and liabilities acquired in the business have been measured at fair value. The leases have been valued in accordance with IFRS 16.
The value of the receivables received in the acquisition of the business is approximately EUR 1,167.0 million and a deduction of expected credit losses of EUR 8.0 million has been taken into account for the gross value of the receivables at the time of the acquisition. The effect is presented in Note 12 under "New debt securities".
Cash flow effect of the business acquisition EUR 143.1 million is in the Cash flows from financing activities.
The business income after the acquisition date of the acquired business is included in the Income Statement of the first quarter.
