OP Financial Group makes new upward revision of its earnings outlook for 2021

In its half-year financial report published on 28 July 2021, OP Financial Group expected its earnings before tax for 2021 to be at about the same level as or higher than in 2020. Earnings before tax for 2020 were EUR 785 million.

OP Financial Group now expects its earnings before tax for 2021 to be higher than in 2020. This estimate is based on income being markedly better than forecast.

The Covid-19 pandemic will continue to cause uncertainty in the amount of impairment loss on receivables and investment income.

OP Financial Group's Interim Report for 1 January—30 September 2021 will be published on 27 October 2021.
