Tieto Capital Market Day 2016: Accelerating innovation and growth


Tieto Corporation STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE 31 May 2016, 10.00 am EET
Tieto is holding its Capital Market Day in Helsinki today. At the event the
company will provide insights into its recently launched strategy, addressing
drivers of competitiveness in today’s dynamic IT software and services market.
In their presentations, Tieto leaders will discuss the respective businesses and
outlook for 2016–2020.

With its new strategy for 2016–2020, launched on 17 March, Tieto aims to become
customers’ first choice for business renewal as the leading Nordic software and
services company. Tieto is looking forward to further accelerating growth and
scale – and to continue providing shareholder returns above industry average.
The company sees its competitiveness as being mainly driven by software-based
industry solutions, cloud services and cognitive automation.

“We see an attractive market with opportunities for our customers to drive
efficiency in their businesses and in parallel innovate new business models. Our
aim is to provide customers with new opportunities to both renew their
businesses and co-create future innovations. We expect to increase the
scalability of our business through software-driven businesses, automation and
actively working with our ecosystem partners,” says Kimmo Alkio, President and
CEO.

Tieto expects its positive financial development to continue. According to its
formal financial objectives, Tieto aims to achieve a reported operating margin
(EBIT) of 10% and IT services revenue growth faster than the market. While the
financial objectives remain unchanged the company sees potential to annually
grow by more than 5% in IT services, including new areas such as data-driven
businesses. Growth potential is anticipated to materialize especially towards
the end of the strategy period. The ambition is to maintain the adjusted
operating margin sustainably above 10% and to achieve the profitability
objective before 2020.

Tieto Capital Market Day will be webcasted with a live stream. A link to
the webcast and the material for the event are available
