CEO’s comment

Comment regarding the interim report by Kimmo Alkio, President and CEO:

“We ended the third quarter with good order intake and solid profitability while
growth was modest. The significant agreements won during the quarter well
demonstrate our competitiveness and support our growth ambition.

Our aim is to help customers renew their business: to provide truly innovative
services and to constantly increase operational efficiency. As part of our
renewed strategy, we adopted a new operating structure in July. While we
transitioned to a new operating model and experienced temporarily lower
efficiency, I am pleased how swiftly this was addressed. We believe that the new
strategy combined with targeted investments will accelerate our performance and
help us achieve our long-term financial objectives. To further strengthen our
position in the attractive financial services market, we are pleased to have
completed the acquisition of Emric, the Nordic market leader in software and
services for credit processing. We are happy to welcome our new colleagues to
join Tieto to accelerate our customers’ business renewal.

I believe that our existing investments, close co-innovation with our customers
and continuous productivity improvements will provide us with a good basis for
competitiveness and value creation in the future as well.”
