Highlights of 2023
The company had a strong start for the year. While the softening of the IT market impacted
performance in the second half of 2023, full-year profitability remained close to the previous
year's level.
The company took a major step in its transformation. The strategic reviews of Tietoevry Banking
and Tech Services accelerate Tietoevry’s strategy implementation, positioning the company as a
leading software and digital engineering player globally.
The strategic review of Tietoevry Tech Services progressed as planned. Tietoevry Tech
Services, former Tietoevry Transform and Tietoevry Connect as a combined entity, began
operating as an integrated business as from 1 April 2023.
The build-up of the operations enabling Tietoevry Banking to function as a fully independent
company was completed during the year. In February 2024, Tietoevry’s Board of Directors
approved a demerger plan to separate Tietoevry Banking. The Board of Directors proposes a
demerger to list the Tietoevry Banking business while reserves the right for other alternatives, if
in the best interest of shareholders.
In July, the company acquired MentorMate, a digital engineering company headquartered in the
USA, to support Tietoevry Create’s ambition to become a leading digital engineering player
globally.
In the full year, revenue was down by 2.6%, impacted by negative currency effects. Organic1)
growth was 4%. Adjusted operating profit2) (EBITA) was EUR 358.7 (379.2) million, representing
a margin of 12.6% (13.0). Profitability was affected by higher inflation and slower growth in the
second half of the year.
Operating profit (EBIT) amounted to EUR 255.6 ( 266.5) million. 
1) Adjusted for currency effects and impact from acquisitions and divestments.
2) Adjustment items include restructuring costs, capital gains/losses, impairment charges and other items affecting comparability.

IT market development
Macroeconomic uncertainty resulted in weaker demand in the latter part of 2023, which primarily
impacted digital engineering services as well as managed services and transformation. In digital
engineering, the weaker demand impacted smaller customer engagements. In managed services and
transformation, the weaker demand was visible in non-critical time and material work.
Tietoevry foresees that IT market softness will continue into 2024. The company expects its addressable
market to grow by 0–2% during the current year. Tietoevry’s business mix provides resilience, as
specialized businesses comprise a significant proportion of long-term customer engagements. Demand for
specialized software is expected to remain stable.
The shift to cloud native and data-driven technologies continues to be at the core of customers’ drive for
agility, productivity and competitiveness as well as IT security and data resilience. Cloud continues to be
the foundation for business agility and data at the core of competitive products and operations. Demand
for cloud native and data services, including Artificial Intelligence, is expected to remain high and to result
in over 10% market growth in this area. In Tietoevry's view, Generative AI (GenAI) will provide diverse
opportunities for enhancing productivity and competitiveness both among its customers and in its own
operations. It is expected to have profound impact in both driving productivity and bringing enhanced
software products and services to customers. To accelerate implementation, Tietoevry is actively working
to discover and concretize the benefits of GenAI by running innovative use cases across industries
together with customers and expanding its network of partners.
At the same time, customers' focus will be on user experience, driving new business opportunities and
growth. Customers also continue to emphasize data sovereignty, security and business continuity as they
adopt cloud technologies, with multi-cloud becoming a default. As customers remain cautious about their
spending, outsourcing demand with embedded transformation to cloud is expected to continue, resulting
in volume decline of up to 10% over time in traditional services. Service providers will be affected by
customer demands for price reductions, limiting their ability to increase prices and margins in the short
term.

Strategy
Cloud and data technologies form the foundation of driving customers' priorities to be agile, competitive,
innovative and secure. The software and technology services industry is continuously advancing with
data-driven and AI-enabled solutions, building on the cloud foundation. Tietoevry’s strategy aims to
capture cloud-native and AI-enabled market opportunities through specialized software, digital
engineering and managed services businesses. Each business aims to be among the best in the market and
all structural (M&A and divestments) and operational actions are considered to enable that agenda.
Specialization drives a best-in-class customer proposition and attracts talent. Shareholder value creation is
also supported by structural actions to unlock the value of the group and individual businesses.
Specialized businesses taking advantage of cloud, data and software market
growth
Specialization forms the cornerstone of Tietoevry’s strategy. The company’s five specialized end-to-end
businesses aim to take advantage of cloud, data and software market growth. The individual businesses
have optionality to build scale and prioritize investments, reflecting the distinct market dynamics, business
proposition and value potential of each. The businesses across digital engineering, software and managed
services and transformation businesses are:
Tietoevry Create accelerates customers’ digital agenda to create competitive products and
data-driven businesses utilizing design, data and cloud technologies. This is a global business
with software and data engineering at its core.
Tietoevry Banking is a provider of scalable Banking-as-a-Service platform and leading software

Tietoevry Tech Services drives enterprise-wide transformation across customers’ business
processes, applications and infrastructure. Deep customer knowledge, global cloud & data
competencies, automated operations and a multi-cloud platform provider with a full range of
infrastructure choices at scale form its foundation.
The businesses have full operational responsibility, including go-to-market, service portfolio, delivery
capabilities, compensation models, investments and partnerships.
Strategic reviews to accelerate value creation
Tietoevry aims to unlock value through strategic reviews of Tietoevry Banking and Tietoevry Tech Services.
Tietoevry Banking, operating in a distinct fintech market, is expected to scale, build investment capacity
and unlock value creation opportunities in an independent setup.
With the strategic review of Tietoevry Tech Services, the company seeks to drive the competitiveness of its
managed services and transformation business, operating in a market going through a major
transformation. The success of businesses with an outsourcing foundation relies on the scale of
capabilities and infrastructure volumes needed to drive customers’ continuous efficiency, agility and
modernization needs.
Repositioning Tietoevry as a leading software and digital engineering player
globally
Tietoevry seeks to reposition itself as a leading software and digital engineering player globally. An active
M&A agenda together with strategic reviews of Tietoevry Banking and Tietoevry Tech Services form a solid
foundation for the ongoing transformation of the company.

In Tietoevry Create, revenue was organically up by 3%. The year started with solid development, while in

engagements, and negative development in the Ukrainian business due to the war. Profitability improved
towards the year end, following decisive management actions, incl. capacity adjustments executed to
adapt to lower demand.
In Tietoevry Banking, revenue was organically up by 10%. Strong growth was driven by the Wealth,
Financial Crime Prevention, Credit, Cards and Banking as a Service businesses. Profitability was impacted
by increased technology costs and higher costs resulting from legal separation related to the strategic
review of the business. Profitability improved towards the year end, supported by price increases and
efficiency measures, including technology cost optimization.
In Tietoevry Care, revenue was organically up by 6%, driven by strong growth in both Healthcare and
Welfare. Demand in Healthcare was impacted in Finland in the second half of 2023 as customers were
preparing for procurements related to the social and healthcare reform. Continued strong profitability was
driven by scalable software businesses.

Financial position at the end of the period
The equity ratio was 46.7% (51.5). Gearing was 56.6% (39.5). Interest-bearing net debt totalled EUR 911.8
(679.1) million, including EUR 951.4 (750.0) million in interest-bearing debt, EUR 211.7 (210.0) million in
lease liabilities, EUR 2.2 (2.6) million in finance lease receivables, EUR 29.5 (28.6) million in other interest-
bearing receivables and EUR 219.6 (249.7) million in cash and cash equivalents.
Interest-bearing long-term liabilities amounted to EUR 701.0 (795.3) million at the end of December. The
company has a EUR 300 million bond outstanding, maturing in June 2025. Additionally, interest-bearing
long-term liabilities primarily comprise a new five-year term loan of EUR 174 million from OP Corporate
Bank plc related to the acquisition of MentorMate, a loan from the European Investment Bank and lease
liabilities of EUR 161.4 million.
Interest-bearing short-term liabilities amounted to EUR 462.2 (164.7) million, mainly comprising a EUR 100
million bond, a syndicated term loan, commercial papers, leasing liabilities and the short-term part of  the
term loan from the European Investment Bank.
Tietoevry's sustainability-linked revolving credit facility of EUR 250 million was not in use at the end of
December. The revolving credit facility matures in 2027 and has two one-year extension options. It is
linked to selected sustainability targets of Tietoevry and hence supports the company’s commitments to
Science Based Targets.
Investments and development
A significant part of the company’s investments will be made in areas such as its own industry-specific
software, data & analytics and cloud services. Tietoevry’s development costs amounted to around EUR 129
(2022: 124 and 2021: 127) million, representing 4.5% (2022: 4.2% and 2021: 4.5%) of the Group's revenue,
including capitalized costs.
Order backlog
Tietoevry's order backlog amounted to EUR 3 236 (3 327) million at the end of December. Of the backlog,
54% (54) is expected to be invoiced during 2024. Adjusted for the impact of exchange rates, acquisitions
and divestments, the order backlog remained at the 2022 level. The order backlog includes all signed
customer orders that have not been recognized as revenue, including estimates of the value of
consumption-based contracts.
The significance of traditional measures for the order backlog is impacted by the shift from traditional large
outsourcing agreements towards agile methods and consumption-based business models. Additionally,
traditional development programmes are cut into smaller projects.
10
Personnel
The number of full-time employees amounted to 24 159 (24 320) at the end of December. The number of
full-time employees in the global delivery centres totalled 12 789 (12 633), or 52.9% (51.9) of all personnel.
The 12-month rolling employee turnover stood at 10.1% (14.4) at the end of December. Tietoevry believes
that a normal attrition level is 10–12%.
Group-level salary inflation is expected to be 4–5% on average for 2024. It is offset by a number of actions,
including price increases, further offshoring, automation, management of the competence pyramid and
overall cost efficiency across businesses.

personal and professional growth through dynamic goal setting, continuous feedback, and frequent
development conversations.
Diversity and inclusion is a key area in Tietoevry’s long-term sustainability plan. The Code of Conduct and
the Diversity and Inclusion Charter outline the commitment and principles for diversity and inclusion at
Tietoevry. The company’s five end-to-end businesses implement diversity and inclusion in their respective
units and teams, and each manager ensures diversity in their teams. The overall responsibility for ensuring
a diverse workforce where people feel included lies with the CEO and the Group Executive Management.
During 2023, a specific audit, with a focus on gender diversity in recruitment, was conducted by the Group
Risk Management unit and Internal Audit Team. The results were analysed per business unit and related
roadmaps with development actions created.
Employee engagement activities are followed up through OurVoice, an employee engagement survey. In
the survey, employees provide feedback on three areas that drive engagement: collaboration, growth
opportunities, and leadership. The employee engagement score remained at the previous year’s level at
82/100.

Performance in 2024
Tietoevry anticipates that the business mix of the company and long-term contracts provide resilience in
uncertain times while visibility to the full year is relatively low. Tietoevry expects its organic growth to be in
the range of 0–3% in 2024. The lower end of the range assumes that market uncertainty will continue in
the second half of the year whereas the upper end assumes that the market will gradually pick up during
the year.
Mitigating high inflation
The company estimates its full-year adjusted operating margin to be 12.0–13.0%, partly depending on the
outcome of growth. Continued high inflation is anticipated to constrain profitability improvement. The
company estimates salary inflation to be 4–5% on average for 2024. Tietoevry is also impacted by overall
high cost inflation, visible in items such as subcontracting, technology costs, premises, electricity and
software licences. The negative impact is mitigated by a number of actions including price increases,
further offshoring, automation, management of the competence pyramid and overall cost efficiency across
businesses.
Ongoing efficiency measures continue to contribute to profitability
Execution of efficiency measures in Tietoevry Tech Services, Create and Banking is expected to support
profitability in 2024. In 2024, one-time costs are expected to be around 1% of revenue. Additionally, costs
for strategic reviews, including transaction costs, legal separation costs, refinancing costs and costs for
operational simplification and efficiency measures in Tietoevry Tech Services, are estimated to be in total
1.5–2% of Group revenue. Of these costs, 1.2 percentage points had materialized by the end of 2023.

In September, Tietoevry Tech Services signed a significant agreement for modern cloud technologies with
DigiFinland to enable secure, scalable, and flexible digital development. The scope of the agreement is

In September, the wellbeing services county of Central Finland adopted Tietoevry Care's partnership
model to implement high-quality and cost-effective health and social services. The model offers customers
an opportunity to influence the contents, priorities and implementation schedule of upcoming features and
functionalities in Lifecare, and hence enables faster system development. In the partnership model, the
development of the Lifecare client and patient information system is carried out in cooperation with the
existing Finnish wellbeing services counties based on the needs of their health and social care
professionals. The South Karelia, South Ostrobothnia, Kanta-Häme, Central Ostrobothnia, Kymenlaakso,
Päijät-Häme and Satakunta counties have been involved in the model since 2021. The eight wellbeing
services counties serve about 1.4 million people in Finland.
During 2023, several wellbeing services counties in Finland started using Tietoevry Care's data platform.
The platform optimizes knowledge-based management and helps to improve the availability and
effectiveness of care. For example, the Western Uusimaa and the Kanta-Häme Wellbeing Services
Counties are among the 12 counties currently utilizing the data platform. It helps counties to estimate the
need for their services by combining data from various systems and sources into a single domain, with the
latest analytics tools available for generating insights. It optimizes the use of data to support faster
decision-making, saves care professionals’ time and helps to facilitate their work, as they no longer need to
collect the data manually. It also provides much-needed cost savings in the dire economic situation.
Tietoevry Create and Gassco are developing the next generation of GBS, Gassco Booking System, and
GMP, Gassco Maintenance Planning, as part of the Application Management agreement that Tietoevry

collaboration with the customer.

modernization that supports LocalTapiola’s business needs.
In November, the Wellbeing Services County of North Ostrobothnia chose Tietoevry Care to consolidate 14
separate Electronic Health records instances into one centralized solution. Furthermore, the system will be

In December, the Eco-Lighthouse Foundation signed a contract with Tietoevry Create to further develop
the foundation's Eco-Lighthouse Portal. Over 10 000 businesses, ranging from small and medium-sized

agreement is three years with options to extend.

operation of Norway’s gas deliveries.

Non-financial information
This section describes Tietoevry’s sustainability activities as required by Chapter 3a of the Finnish
Accounting Act on non-financial information (NFI). The linkages between NFI areas and Tietoevry's
sustainability focus areas are identified in the chart describing policies and processes. More information is
available in the Sustainability Report, which is partly assured by an external partner.
Tietoevry's business model
The company’s services comprise software and digital engineering as well as managed services and
transformation, and related capabilities to support customers’ business renewal, innovation and efficient
operations. Tietoevry’s role varies from consulting and advisory, designing and building solutions to
running IT operations. Competitiveness is based on solutions combining best-of-breed technologies with
consulting and integration capabilities, industrialized service delivery and strong global delivery capability.
To capture the momentum of the cloud-native and software market, Tietoevry’s five specialized end-to-
end businesses have full operational responsibility, including go-to-market, service portfolio as well as
investments and partnerships to drive scale and expansion.
Management of NFI topics
Tietoevry’s highest governance body, the Board of Directors, is accountable for guiding the company
strategy on environmental, social and governance issues. Decision-making on and oversight of the
management of Tietoevry's impact is delegated to Tietoevry's Sustainability Steering Group (SSG), which
reports at regular intervals to the Group Executive Management and the Board. The SSG is chaired by the
Chief Sustainability Officer and represents different Tietoevry functions and units, with many members
from the Group Executive Management (GEM).
The SSG is responsible for preparing the sustainability section of Tietoevry’s annual report. The Audit and
Risk Committee (ARC) of the Board reviews the NFI on an annual basis, including reviewing performance
against sustainability goals and the management of sustainability-related risks. Operational sustainability
work is facilitated by the company’s Sustainability Team led by the Chief Sustainability Officer, who is also
responsible for Tietoevry’s sustainability policies and processes.
During 2023, Tietoevry’s management and the Board formally reviewed and discussed sustainability-
related topics on six occasions. For example, the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and
its implications for Tietoevry was presented to the management in September and to the Board in June
and December. Other topics discussed were, for example, sustainability-related risks, the company’s
societal engagements and the Group's new long-term sustainability plan, which was developed during the
year. Review of operational and business-oriented sustainability topics is delegated to the SSG, which
meets at a minimum every second month. 
In 2020, Tietoevry launched its Sustainability Strategy: Game Plan 2023, supported by a materiality
analysis to identify and prioritize the most important sustainability topics. This analysis continued to form
the basis for the company’s sustainability strategy and the reporting in accordance with GRI Standards.
The strategy is twofold: it focuses both on the continuous development of Tietoevry’s responsible
operations, and on the business impact opportunities that the company has together with its customers.
Responsible operations consist of three key themes: climate action, ethical conduct, and an exciting place
to work. Each theme includes publicly stated goals, and the related action plans, implementation and
reporting are managed by the designated responsibility area owners and data partners. The goals and
results for responsible operations in 2023 are presented further down in this section. Please note that
additional sustainability-related goals are presented in the Sustainability report. The business impact
opportunities include a range of solutions and services that can improve customers’ sustainability
performance and create a positive impact on society. For example, development of ethical software and
helping customers to optimize their production and logistics, as well as providing support in the re-use and
recycling of material.  These opportunities are driven by each of Tietoevry’s five businesses and supported
by the Sustainability Team. The Sustainability Strategy 2023 is managed according to Tietoevry’s
sustainability management process, which follows the United Nations (UN) Global Compact Management
Model and the GRI Standards. Linkages to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, which are considered a
strategic tool in enabling corporations to contribute to a more sustainable society, are established by
applying principled prioritization. The management of the responsibility areas, as defined in the strategy –
including policies, processes, due diligence and escalation channels – is illustrated in the chart in this
section.
2023 was the final year for the company’s Sustainability Strategy, launched in 2020, although certain goals
extend beyond the set timeframe. Tietoevry is making good progress towards most of the goals while the
work to meet those with a longer time horizon continues. Results for each sustainability area are
introduced in a separate table in this section. The Sustainability report provides comments and reflections
on the performance concerning the Sustainability Strategy: Game Plan 2023. Tietoevry has initiated a
project to create a new value-driven long-term plan for the Group, grounded in each of the end-to-end
businesses. The forthcoming long-term plan is scheduled for approval by the management and
presentation to the Board in the early part of 2024, followed by external publication. Several members of
the management have been involved in the development of the new long-term plan.
Tietoevry’s ethical guidelines are summarized in the Code of Conduct policy, which applies to all
employees and company representatives of Tietoevry, and in a separate Supplier Code of Conduct rule
applied to any third party contributing to the company’s services, products, and other business activities.
Both documents are based on the UN Global Compact, the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human
Rights, OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, and ISO 14001. The policies encompass all areas of
responsibility, interconnected with other policies addressing specific topics and detailed rules. They
address legal, certification, and best-practice requirements and undergo annual reviews.
17
Tietoevry has a Group-wide internal whistleblowing channel, which is also available to external parties
such as customers and suppliers. The Tietoevry Whistleblowing Channel is operated by an external service
provider. Whistleblowing notifications concerning matters such as possible Code of Conduct violations are
investigated confidentially through a predefined process by the Group Compliance Officer or, if requested
by the whistleblower, by a designated point of contact at certain subsidiary companies. Cases of a severe
or sensitive nature are also referred to the Escalation Committee, which consists of the Group Compliance
Officer, Head of Corporate Governance, Compliance and M&A, Head of Legal and Compliance, Head of
Risk Management and Internal Audit, and Head of HR. If a whistleblower notification relates to managers
who are members of the Group Executive Management – including the CEO – the Chair of the Audit and
Risk Committee of the Board of Directors will be informed. If a whistleblower notification involves
managers who directly report to Group Executive Management, the CEO will be informed.
In the case of serious or especially sensitive whistleblowing cases, the Group Compliance Officer will
prepare a report for submission to the Audit and Risk Committee. For each such case, the Escalation
Committee will consider whether the CEO or Board of Directors should also be informed. Biannual reports
are prepared for the Audit and Risk Committee, covering aggregated information about notifications
received through the whistleblowing channel, cases under investigation, cases closed, and rectifying
measures taken. In addition, responsibility areas have separate channels for incident reporting and
continuous improvement.
Main risks for negative impacts in the operating environment
The aim of Tietoevry’s internal control framework is to ensure that operations are effective and well
aligned with the company’s strategic goals. This includes identifying potential negative impacts that
Tietoevry might have on its operating environment, and escalating the company’s mitigation measures if
necessary. The internal control framework is intended to ensure correct, reliable, complete and timely
financial reporting and management information. The framework endorses ethical values, good corporate
governance, and risk management practices. Risk management and major risks are described in detail in
the Corporate Governance Statement.
Tietoevry applies a systematic risk management approach to improve the efficiency and control of
business operations, as well as to manage business continuity and profitability. The risk management
framework consists of the risk management organization and related policies, processes, tools and
common ways of working. The risk management organization develops and maintains the company’s risk
management framework, including risk reporting, risk management governance and follow-up of risk
exposures consisting of strategic, financial, operational, compliance, people and ESG risks. During 2023,
efforts to improve the corporate risk management framework continued. For example, the risk matrix has
been improved to ensure that ESG factors each have their own impact scales, facilitating the assessment of
ESG-related risks. During 2024, awareness-raising activities are planned to ensure that the updated risk
management framework is being properly used to better enable the company to capture ESG-related risks.
The risk management organization consists of the Corporate Risk Management Unit and nominated Risk
Managers in the businesses. All management levels are accountable for managing risks to an acceptable
level, within their respective areas and ensuring that the risk management framework is implemented and
integrated into all relevant processes and operations. Management demonstrates visible commitment and
support and is responsible for ensuring continuous improvement and development of the risk management
practices. 
Tietoevry identifies ESG-related risks as both potential adverse effects on people and the planet arising
from its activities across the value chain, as well as adverse effects on the company's financial
performance resulting from external influences. This encompasses reputational considerations, where
negative publicity may result in lower sustainability index scores or audit discrepancies by independent
parties, possibly leading to customer trust loss and penalties. Non-compliance with regulations like GDPR
may result in regulatory interventions, penalties, or customer-imposed sanctions. Insufficient controls, low
anti-corruption awareness, or an unsupportive organizational culture can lead to fraudulent or illegal
actions, with consequences ranging from tender disqualification to sanctions. Mitigation measures include
compliance training, enhanced controls, audits, and follow-ups.
Stress-related health issues, discrimination, and harassment pose significant human and labour rights risks
at Tietoevry and consequently hinder employees from reaching their full potential. The company
addresses these risks systematically through regular employee surveys, a whistleblowing channel, and
global/local hybrid-working guidelines. Operational disruptions may occur if key resources are unavailable
due to extended sick leaves. Tietoevry emphasizes diversity and inclusion in its culture, considering it
essential for competitiveness in the technology industry, with a strategic focus on innovation, delivery
capabilities, and employee engagement.
Tietoevry's supplier base comprises both direct and indirect suppliers, with potential supply chain risks
related to the environment, human and labour rights, and corruption. Tietoevry strives for a fair and green
supply chain in which the company neither causes nor contributes to negative impacts on people and the
planet. Severe breaches of international conventions may lead to contract terminations by customers or
sanctions from authorities. Tietoevry addresses these risks through its responsible sourcing programme
and onboarding practices, subject to compliance and audit activities.
Tietoevry identifies and addresses environmental risks through its Environmental Management System and
includes risks related to offices and data centres, equipment, waste handling, and business travel. The
environmental aspects and associated impacts are assessed once a year and in connection with any
significant change, such as new business areas or products. Environmental risk analysis includes
identifying, evaluating and summarizing significant environmental aspects in the environmental aspect
register. Environmental aspects pose both risks and opportunities for Tietoevry's overall performance.
Proper management of these aspects is essential for maintaining ISO certification (ISO 14001,
Environmental Management) and enhancing the company's appeal as a supplier, partner, and employer.
Tietoevry strives to mitigate the contribution to climate change by reducing its own carbon emissions,
increasing energy efficiency, and helping customers to reduce their carbon emissions with the company's
technology solutions. During 2023, Tietoevry continued to work towards reducing its emissions in line with
the ambitions approved by the Science Based Targets initiative. To improve the understanding of
Tietoevry’s exposure to climate-related risks and opportunities, an analysis aligned with the Task Force on
Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) recommendations was carried out during 2023. The findings
have informed the company’s double materiality assessment and the identified risks will be integrated in
the enterprise risk management system.

Physical climate change impacts, such as changes in precipitation, volumes of snow and ice, rise in sea
level, hurricanes, and cyclones as well as access to natural resources, may have an impact on Tietoevry or
on strategic partners in the supply chain. Geotechnical assessments are part of the company's preliminary
work prior to any new construction of offices or data centres. Back-up centres ensure continuity of
customer operations even in cases of severe consequences from climate change.

EU Taxonomy reporting
The digital transition is described as a key enabler for achieving a more sustainable future.
Through leading technologies and the smart use of data, Tietoevry can positively impact
the environment and build solutions that can reduce customers' environmental footprint.
At Tietoevry, these kinds of enabling services and solutions include, for example, offerings
supporting customers with transitioning to a circular economy. Furthermore, the company
can reduce emissions in its own operations, such as at its data centres.
Mobilizing sustainable investments towards a low-carbon and resilient economy
The European Union has set a clear target of becoming the world’s first climate-neutral continent by 2050.
To support investment into sustainable projects, the EU has launched a classification system for
sustainable business activities, the EU Taxonomy.
The European Commission adopted the Climate Delegated Act in 2021, containing the two first
environmental objectives: 'Climate change mitigation' and 'Climate change adaptation'. The remaining four
objectives were adopted in 2023 and some new activities were also added to previously adopted
regulation. 
Reporting according to the EU taxonomy
Companies that fall under the EU’s Non-Financial Reporting Directive must report how well their operations
match the EU Taxonomy. For reporting on the financial year 2023, companies report both taxonomy-
eligible and taxonomy-aligned KPIs of revenue as well as capital and operating expenditure for the first
two environmental objectives. For the four additional objectives, companies need to report only
taxonomy-eligible KPIs. For reporting on the financial year 2024, both taxonomy-eligibility and -alignment
will have to be disclosed for all six environmental objectives.
In order for an activity to be classified as aligned, it should comply with technical screening criteria defined
by the EU. According to technical screening criteria, an activity should ‘substantially contribute’ to at least
one environmental objective and avoid causing ‘significant harm’ to any of the other five objectives.
Furthermore, the company should comply with minimum safeguards.

Revenue
Tietoevry’s revenue amounted to a total of EUR 2 851.4 (2 928.1) million in 2023 (Notes 5 and 6 to the
Financial Statements), of which EUR 575.6 (544.2) million, or 20% (19%) was eligible. The largest share of
Tietoevry’s eligible revenue comes from data platform services, provided by Tietoevry Tech Services.
These services fall under activity CCM8.1 ‘Data processing and hosting and related activities’ and
contribute to 'Climate change mitigation'. In 2022, eligible revenue of EUR 544.2 million consisted solely of
data platform services. In 2023, revenue for these services was down to EUR 528.0 million, impacted by
exchange rates.
The proportion of eligible revenue at the Group-level was supported by a number of offerings contributing
to the new objective 'The transition to circular economy' being classified as eligible. These offerings fall
under activities CE4.1 'Provision of IT/OT data-driven solutions and software' and CE5.5 'Product-as-a-
service and other circular use- and result-oriented service models'. Tietoevry's eligible solutions and
services with a total revenue of EUR 47.5 million, supporting circular economy, are being provided and
developed across businesses. Leasing Platform in Tietoevry Banking and Financing in Tech Services are
examples of such offerings.
While several of the company's products and services have positive effects on environmental
sustainability and are closely linked to economic activity CCM8.2 ‘Data-driven solutions for GHG emissions
reductions’ under 'Climate change mitigation', revenue for any of those is not deemed eligible. This is due
to the fact that climate change mitigation is not the predominant aim of offerings in the manner described
in economic activity CCM8.2.
Tietoevry does not report any eligible revenue or investments for offerings contributing to the objective
'Climate change adaptation'. Regarding the new objectives, the company has identified offerings which
match with economic activities contributing to the objective 'The transition to circular economy'. Economic
activities described under the other new objectives are currently not relevant for Tietoevry. 
Alignment assessment was carried out for offerings eligible for the two first objectives. Regarding data
platform services, the assessment was conducted at the data centre level. Tietoevry concluded that the
eligible offerings for economic activity CCM8.1 ‘Data processing and hosting and related activities’ (Climate
change mitigation) to a large degree met the technical screening criteria, except for the criteria regarding
the global warming potential (GWP) of refrigerants used in the data centre cooling system. The
replacement refrigerants to those helping to lower the GWP and meet the requirements, however, might
initially result in an increase of energy consumption and related GHG emissions - and therefore is not in
line with the company's environmental goals.
Following the assessments for technical screening criteria, the company does not deem any of its revenue
as aligned. Alignment assessment for offerings generating eligible revenue for the four new objectives has
also been initiated.

Capital expenditure
Capital expenditure amounted to a total of EUR 131.6 (147.9) million, comprising EUR 85.3 million in
additions to tangible and intangible assets (see Notes 11 and 12 to the Financial Statements) and EUR 46.3
million in additions to right-of-use assets, mainly related to the company’s premises and vehicles (in Note
13 to the Financial Statements, total additions of EUR 76.5 million include remeasurements and lease
modifications which are excluded from the amount used in this capital expenditure calculation).
Taxonomy-eligible capital expenditure was EUR 79.9 (97.6) million, or 61% (66%) of the total amount. The
decline of the proportion was mainly due to the high comparison figure. In 2022, additions in right-of-use
assets included new major agreements for premises.
Taxonomy-eligible capital expenditure fell under the following categories, defined in the EU Taxonomy
regulation:
a) investments in assets or processes associated with taxonomy-eligible or taxonomy-aligned economic
activities
Tietoevry: this category represents 27 pp. of taxonomy-eligible capital expenditure, comprising
expenditure for data centres and eligible offerings.
c) purchases of output from taxonomy-eligible or taxonomy-aligned economic activities.
Tietoevry: this category represents 34 pp. of taxonomy-eligible capital expenditure, comprising additions
to right-of-use assets and including 2 pp. for business combinations. At Tietoevry, these purchases fall
under activity CCM7.7 ‘Acquisition and ownership of buildings’ and activity CCM6.5 ‘Transport by
motorbikes, passenger cars and light commercial vehicles’.
Tietoevry did not include any capital expenditure under capex category b) part of a plan to expand
taxonomy-aligned economic activities or to allow taxonomy eligible economic activities to become
taxonomy-aligned.
Based on the technical screening criteria for economic activities relevant for Tietoevry, the company did
not identify aligned capital expenditure in any of the categories above.

Operating expenditure
Operating expenditure as defined in the EU Taxonomy amounted to a total of EUR 87.3 (92.9) million,
comprising EUR 84.6 million in offering and internal development and EUR 2.7 million in maintenance of
premises and short-term leases. Taxonomy-eligible operating expenditure was EUR 18.1 (22.2) million, or
21% (24%) of the total amount. The change of the proportion was mainly attributable to the decline in
maintenance costs for premises under activity CCM7.7 'Acquisition and ownership of buildings'. Eligible
operating expenditure fell under the categories below, defined in the EU Taxonomy regulation:
a) expenditure related to assets or processes associated with taxonomy-eligible or taxonomy-aligned
economic activities
Tietoevry: this category represents 18 pp. of taxonomy-eligible operating expenditure and includes
offering and internal development related to eligible offerings.
c) purchases of output from taxonomy-aligned economic activities
Tietoevry: this category represents 3 pp. of taxonomy-eligible operating expenditure and relates to
maintenance of premises and short-term leases.
Operating expenditure category b) part of a plan to expand taxonomy-aligned economic activities or to
allow taxonomy-eligible economic activities to become taxonomy-aligned was assessed but Tietoevry did
not include any development costs under this category.
Based on the technical screening criteria for economic activities relevant for Tietoevry, the company did
not identify aligned operating expenditure in any of the categories above.
Compliance with Minimum Safeguards
Compliance with Minimum Safeguards is evaluated on a Group level. The evaluation includes reviewing
alignment of existing due diligence processes with the United Nations Guiding Principles and OECD
Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises across the company. During 2023, the focus has been on further
developments of the corporate-wide due diligence measures with regards specifically to human rights and
corruption. Activities include human rights impact assessment in one country, human rights risk
assessments of core corporate processes, development of risk assessment tools for business processes
and mapping of existing monitoring mechanisms ensuring a systematic assessment of corruption risks. The
execution of activities to close the gaps demonstrates that Tietoevry meets the requirements for
compliance with Minimum Safeguards.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES FOR EU TAXONOMY REPORTING
The required key performance indicators have been determined based on the company’s financial
reporting prepared in accordance with IFRS. Further details about the Group’s accounting policies
are described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Revenue
At Group level, revenue comprises reportable segments’ total revenue and eliminations for internal
revenue. Tietoevry’s eligibility assessment is primarily based on Group-level aggregated lead
offerings, which is a key dimension in the company’s internal operative accounting. Approaching the
reporting through the assessment of lead offerings means that there is no risk of double counting.
Capital expenditure
Capital expenditure is defined as additions to tangible and intangible assets during the financial year
considered before depreciation, amortization and any remeasurements (including those resulting
from revaluations and impairments) and excluding fair value changes. It also includes additions to
tangible and intangible assets resulting from business combinations and additions to right-of-use
assets from lease contracts.
Capital expenditure in this taxonomy reporting section includes additions to right-of-use assets,
reported in Note 13 in the Financial Statements, while this is excluded from capital expenditure
presented in the Group’s key figures in this Report by the Board of Directors. Identification of eligible
capital expenditure was made based on Group-level reporting and thus there was no risk of double
counting.
Operating expenditure
Operating expenditure is defined as expenditure related to research and development, building
renovation measures, short-term lease, maintenance and repair, and any other direct expenditures
relating to the servicing of assets of property, plant and equipment by Tietoevry or a third party to
which activities are outsourced as necessary to ensure the continued and effective functioning of
such assets. Only direct non-capitalized costs are included.
Tietoevry’s operating expenditure consists of the following items
costs for offering and internal development related to data platform services. In the financial
reporting, these costs are included in employee benefit expenses.
costs for maintenance and short-term lease. In the financial reporting, related costs are
included in other operating expenses.

Major risks
Tietoevry utilizes five risk categories within Risk Management: strategic, operational, financial, people, and
compliance risks.
Strategic risks are related to market volatility, introduction of new technologies, changing digitalization and
automation strategies, change management, reskilling ability and speed, ability to respond to competition
and new entrants in the market, successful selection, management and implementation of company
strategy, dependencies on few big customers in some business areas and ensuring delivery quality in the
dynamic business environment.
Operational risks refer e.g. to changing the business model in business units, securing service and offering
delivery capabilities, risk and continuity management, cybersecurity, climate change, customer bidding
and requirement analysis, and maintaining a high professional standard in delivery management and
quality assurance.
Financial risks mainly consist of credit risks, currency risks, interest rate risks, inflation and funding and
liquidity risks.
Compliance risks are connected to the organization failing to recognize or meet the requirements in the
areas of legislation or other mandatory regulation (e.g. General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR),
Schrems II, anti-corruption, anti-bribery, insider matters, sanctions and trade compliance), internal policies
and rules or ethics and integrity.
People risks can be driven by Tietoevry's needs to build a market-leading workforce for high performance
in terms of delivering projects and customer services; people risks are also related to quality of life, human
rights, and the safety of people.
Risks are registered, managed, followed up and aggregated by utilizing the corporate GRC platform,
resulting in risk maps and Risk KPIs that are reviewed by leadership teams in the units and the ARC.
Tietoevry’s major risks and the measures for their mitigation are described below.
Market volatility
Changes in the Nordic core markets have a direct effect on market conditions and result in volatility that
might have a negative impact on Nordic market growth. Changes in the economic environment and
customer demand can affect both business volumes and price levels, which might result in lower revenue
or slower revenue growth than expected.
These potential risks are mitigated through multi-year contracts for continuous services. Tietoevry also
aims to maintain long-term business relations and to be a preferred supplier to its customers. The company
executes tight cost and investment control with continuous investment performance monitoring,
accompanied with a clear structure for decision rights, which are defined in the Decision Making Authority
(DMA) Policy.
31
Global service capabilities, cross-selling and tough price competition are the main drivers in the IT sector
for the development of the global delivery model. Tietoevry’s position as a leading IT service provider in the
Nordics is supported by existing and enhanced competencies, and by the choice of right partners.
Change and transformation
With its strategy, Tietoevry aims to drive customer value and growth through specialization. The
technology industry is being reshaped with cloud as the foundation, providing expansion opportunities for
the company. Expansion will focus on cloud-native services, data & software engineering and scalable
software businesses. In managed application and infrastructure services, the company will seek
partnerships to invest and build scale. Strategic reviews of the Tietoevry Banking and Tietoevry Tech
Services businesses will result in changes requiring careful change management. 
In large-scale adaptation to the market by organizational transformation and right-sizing, resistance to
change can prolong the transition, which may affect operational efficiency.
Change management is steered by the company-wide or project-specific Program Management Office,
which provides standard tools and systems for the change, including communication, target setting and
training for the implementation of the new strategy.
Common standards for project management ensure proper project risk management and compliance in
project financials management and follow-up.
Sudden changes in the market environment, customer demand and customer strategies or the competitive
landscape in these areas might harm Tietoevry’s operations and profitability.
To diversify the business, Tietoevry provides services to several different industries and markets. The
company develops its business mix to provide new industry software solutions, digital consulting, new
hybrid cloud solutions and broader R&D capabilities to strengthen its position amongst both current and
new customers. An industrialized and standardized way of providing services and solutions, employing
automated processes, improves competitiveness and reduces risk.
Service continuity
Close to 100% availability of the services is the basis of trust among customers, stakeholders and society.
A service continuity disruption can be caused, for instance, by hardware or software failures, power
outages, natural disasters and different types of intentional or unintentional actions by people.
Risks related to malfunctions of systems could seriously affect Tietoevry’s ability to provide its services and
have an adverse impact on the company’s financials and reputation.Thus, business continuity planning is a
high priority in Tietoevry’s operational management in order to ensure that redundancy and fault tolerance
are at the appropriate level.
To reduce the service continuity risk and to better understand the interdependencies in solutions and data
centres, Tietoevry constantly reviews, maintains and improves its IT asset management, configuration
management and monitoring systems. In addition to a balanced global portfolio, Tietoevry has recovery
procedures and backup systems in place to handle potential service interruptions. Root cause analysis,
best practices and experiences from previous incidents help in preparing for and mitigating the service
continuity risk.
Also, a comprehensive and robust major incident & escalation process and crisis management process
reduce service interruptions.
Cybersecurity
Tietoevry’s business operations involve processing and storing large amounts of confidential data of public
and private sector customers, business partners and own data, including sensitive personal data.
The threat landscape is constantly growing and evolving – e.g. criminal hackers, hacktivists, human errors
or misconduct, and state-sponsored organizations – and may cause malfunctions or cybersecurity
breaches of information against Tietoevry, its customers, subcontractors or other third parties.
At least the following threats are risk factors that could lead to loss, misuse, destruction of data or system
malfunction, compromising Tietoevry’s ability to support, manage or develop services:
Enterprise ransomware
Supply chain attacks
Critical vulnerabilities
Targeted attacks
Digital fraud
Denial of service attacks
Data breaches and data leaks
Insider threats
Such events could have an adverse impact on the company’s financials and reputation. 
To detect and investigate cybersecurity incidents, Tietoevry has implemented a comprehensive and robust
major incident & escalation process, a crisis management process as well as efficient cybersecurity
defence with high-class detection and response capabilities to reduce service interruptions.
We regularly review our risk management and cybersecurity framework, train our employees to increase
their awareness of cyber threats and continuously measure our cybersecurity maturity.
Quality costs related to customer bidding and delivery management
Inability to appropriately understand and analyse customers’ changing needs, their business processes
and the exact requirements can lead to misjudgements in setting the scope of projects or services and,
consequently, difficulties in meeting the specifications of customer agreements.
Tietoevry is committed to actively verifying that business processes from sales to delivery are designed,
implemented and embedded to deliver customer value and actively mitigate end-to-end risk exposure
32
along full contract life cycles. Internal and external quality assessments and audits are used to verify the
effectiveness and efficiency of ways of working as well as to control the quality of outcomes through
measurable and actionable KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) and key controls. At the same time,
customer feedback management is an integral part of how we drive performance and safeguard quality
assurance at both the operational and strategic level. As part of this, we actively ask customers for
feedback to understand how well we perform individual deliveries. In addition, we engage with customers
to understand how well we support them in meeting their changing business objectives through our
portfolio of deliveries. Insights and actions resulting from customer feedback are prioritized and followed
up regularly at all levels of the organization and integrated into change management efforts.
Retention and attrition of employees
The competition in the market and demand for new services require ability and speed to reskill, attract
new and retain existing competences and business knowledge for new services, new service models, new
technologies and offerings. Tietoevry’s success builds on attracting talent, skills renewal, business
knowledge and the maturity of the organization.
Inability to retain key employees and to recruit new talent with the required competence might have a
negative impact on the company’s performance. High employee turnover might also cause delays in
customer projects, leading to penalties or loss of customers.
To reduce these risks, Tietoevry implements unified delivery models across sites and offers its employees
challenging jobs, diverse development possibilities, social recognition and training opportunities as well as
interesting career paths through job rotation. Furthermore, the company has competitive compensation
packages, including a company-wide incentive system. Attractive recruitment tools, strategies, talent
management and competence development have a high strategic priority at Tietoevry. The company also
focuses on employer branding to build and strengthen Tietoevry’s image as an attractive employer both
internally and externally.
Credit risks
Changes in the general market environment and global economy can result in additional financial risks.
Credit risks might arise if customers or financial counterparties are unable to fulfil their commitments
towards Tietoevry.
Tietoevry's Credit Policy defines the principles for customer credit risk management to be applied in all
lines of business and controlled by a centralized credit management team. The risk assessment utilizes
external risk databases and past experience as a reference. Credit risk regarding financial counterparties
is managed through counterparty limits, as set out in the Tietoevry Treasury Policy.
Currency risks
Tietoevry’s currency transaction exposure arises from foreign trade, cash management and internal
funding in foreign currencies. Translating the balance sheets and income statements of Group companies
into euros creates a translation exposure.
Tietoevry’s Treasury Policy defines the principles for managing currency risks within the Group.
Interest rate risks
Tietoevry's interest rate risk consists mainly of short- and long-term loans, cash positions and derivative
contracts. Fluctuations in interest rates can impact Tietoevry's financial result or economic situation.
Tietoevry's Treasury Policy defines the principles for managing interest rate risks within the Group.
Funding and liquidity risks
Exceptional market conditions in the financial market might impose temporary limitations on raising new
funding and/or lead to an increase in funding costs.
Group Treasury monitors and manages Tietoevry’s funding structure and liquidity by maintaining a
sufficiently diversified loan portfolio and liquidity position. Analyses of alternative financing sources,
maturities and pricing for the company are continuously updated. Tietoevry’s financial risks are described
in full in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Tietoevry's Treasury Policy defines the principles for managing funding and liquidity risks within the Group.
Legal, regulatory and compliance risks
Tietoevry operates in multiple jurisdictions and is required to comply with a wide range of laws and
regulations enacted both at the European and international level, e.g. data protection and privacy laws,
public procurement, anti-corruption, anti-bribery, regulations restricting competitive trading conditions,
health and safety regulations, environmental regulations, labour regulations, competition regulations as
well as securities markets, corporate and tax laws. Failing to comply with the regulations or implement new
requirements may subject the company to regulatory interventions or penalties, or a slowing or even
halting of the development of its activities.
Tietoevry functions as a data processor for customers and as a data controller for its employees’ personal
data. Should Tietoevry or its products or services fail to comply with the privacy laws, this might result in
negative reputational impacts, significant fines or other expenses if the product or service in question
needs to be redesigned or redeveloped.
The risk is mitigated by company-wide privacy work. Tietoevry has a privacy governance model, which
ensures that the group and each business have resources to continuously follow up, report, and
proactively develop privacy and actively train and communicate with employees. Privacy governance also
ensures that the GDPR requirements are appropriately embedded as practical rules and instructions into
core processes such as offering and software development, sales, sourcing and marketing, program and
project delivery, continuous service delivery and Tietoevry’s internal service.
33
Supply chain risk
Tietoevry's ability to perform its obligations to customers can be affected by a failure by any significant
supplier or partner to fulfil its obligations. Such failure may expose Tietoevry to liabilities and impact the
profitability of the company. These risks are managed by partner contract management, contract renewal
negotiations and continuous evaluation of the partner delivery quality.
Global pandemic
Even though Covid-19 is no longer considered to be a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO)
since 5 May 2023, it (or some other widespread illness) can still create uncertainty in the market and for
the company. Tietoevry has continued to identify, evaluate, and manage risks that could have significant
financial, operating, or reputational impacts on the company on both a short- and long-term basis.
Enterprise risk management, crisis management and business continuity have been vital in handling the
effect of the pandemic on our employees, portfolio and customers. Tietoevry follows country-specific
government and healthcare guidelines for personal health and the prevention of the spread of current or
possible new pandemic cases.
Geopolitical instability
Geopolitical instability might result in disruption in areas where Tietoevry operates. This instability might
impact the company's operations, despite careful scenario planning and mitigation plans to ensure
business continuity. Russia's war against Ukraine has impacted our business in Ukraine, and its status is
monitored with regular business continuity and crisis management meetings in order to help and ensure
the safety of employees and secure business continuity.
Climate change
Physical climate change impacts may pose a risk for both Tietoevry and its customers. Tietoevry strives to
mitigate its contribution to climate change by reducing carbon emissions and increasing energy efficiency
in its own operations. Specific risk assessments concerning the proximity of hazards such as rivers, rail
lines and airports are carried out as part of the decision making prior to any new construction or lease of
offices or datacentres, and the company has  back-up centres to ensure the continuity of customer
operations  in case of severe climate change incidents. The ability to mitigate the impacts and adapt to
climate change is becoming an increasingly important factor influencing customers’ decision making.
Tietoevry can help its customers to reduce their carbon emissions through its technology solutions and
facilitate customers’ transition to a low-carbon and circular economy.
Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence (AI), including Generative  AI and machine learning can be used for purposes such as
support or development activities and the usage of AI can involve risks, such as privacy, fairness concerns,
and ethical dilemmas. Also, training AI models can consume significant amounts of energy, contributing to
carbon emissions. Addressing these challenges can unlock AI’s potential and opportunities for positive
change and innovation while prioritizing responsible and ethical development.

Dividend
The distributable funds of the parent company amount to EUR 1 417.7 million, of which net profit for 2023
amounts to EUR 119.7 million. The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General  Meeting that for the
financial year ended on 31 December 2023, a dividend of EUR 1.47 per share be paid from the distributable
profits of the company. The Board of Directors proposes that the dividend shall be paid in two instalments:
The first dividend instalment of EUR 0.735 per share shall be paid to shareholders who on the
record date for the dividend payment on 15 March 2024 are recorded in the shareholders’
register held by Euroclear Finland Oy or the registers of Euroclear Sweden AB or
Verdipapirsentralen ASA (VPS).
The second dividend instalment of EUR 0.735 per share shall be paid to shareholders who on
the record date for the dividend payment on 23 September 2024 are recorded in the
shareholders’ registers.
The proposed dividend payout does not endanger the solvency of the company.

Events after the period
On 9 January, Tietoevry announced that Christian Pedersen, Managing Director of Tietoevry Create since
2022, had decided to pursue interests outside of Tietoevry. Following this, Harri Salomaa was appointed as
Acting Managing Director of Tietoevry Create effective 9 January 2024.
In February, Tietoevry’s Board of Directors approved the demerger plan concerning a partial demerger of
Tietoevry as part of the strategic review and separation process of Tietoevry Banking. Tietoevry Banking is
proposed to be separated as a standalone company to be listed on Nasdaq Helsinki. The transaction is
subject to shareholder approval at an Extraordinary General Meeting. Tietoevry’s Board of Directors
retains the optionality to pursue other alternatives for Tietoevry Banking before completion of the
demerger, if in the best interests of Tietoevry and its shareholders. Tietoevry has secured in its
preparations for the demerger sufficient financing for the demerging businesses with EUR 852 million
backup and term loan facilities from certain Nordic banks.
Full-year outlook
Tietoevry expects its organic1) growth to be in the range of 0–3% (revenue in 2023: EUR 2 851.4 million).
The company estimates its full-year adjusted operating margin2) (adjusted EBITA3)) to be 12.0–13.0%
(12.6% in 2023)
1) Adjusted for currency effects, acquisitions and divestments
2) Adjustment items include restructuring costs, capital gains/losses, impairment charges and other items affecting comparability
3) Profit before interests, taxes and amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets

Key figures
Calculation of key figures and alternative performance measures
Tietoevry presents certain financial measures, which, in accordance with the “Alternative Performance
Measures” guidance issued by the European Securities and Markets Authority, are not accounting
measures defined or specified in IFRS and are, therefore, considered alternative performance measures.
Tietoevry believes that alternative performance measures provide meaningful supplemental information to
the financial measures presented in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with
IFRS and increase the understanding of the profitability of Tietoevry’s operations. In addition, they are seen
as useful indicators of the Group's financial position and ability to obtain funding. Alternative performance
measures are not accounting measures defined or specified in IFRS and, therefore, they are considered
non-IFRS measures, which should not be viewed in isolation or as a substitute to the IFRS financial
measures.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(IFRS)
1.    Corporate information
Tietoevry Corporation (business identity code 0101138-5) is a Finnish public limited liability company
organized under the laws of Finland. It is domiciled in Espoo and the address of the Group head office is
Keilalahdentie 2-4, 02101 Espoo, Finland. The company is listed on NASDAQ in Helsinki and Stockholm and
the Oslo Stock Exchange.
Tietoevry is a leading Nordic digital services and software company that employs over 24 000 experts
globally. Tietoevry serves thousands of enterprise and public sector customers in more than 90 countries.
The company’s services comprise software, data and digital engineering as well as managed services and
transformation, and related capabilities to support customers’ business renewal, innovation and efficient
operations. Tietoevry’s role varies from consulting and advisory, designing and building solutions to
running IT operations.
The Board of Directors approved these consolidated financial statements on 14 February 2024. According
to the Limited Liability Companies Act, the shareholders have the right at the Annual General Meeting to
either approve, amend or reject the consolidated financial statements after the publication.
BASIS OF PREPARATION
The accounting policies applied to the consolidated financial statements as a whole are described
below. A more detailed description of accounting policies and significant estimates related to specific
disclosures are presented in conjunction with each note with the aim of providing an understanding of
each accounting area.
2.    Material accounting policy information
These consolidated financial statements of Tietoevry have been prepared in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union. The financial statements also
comply with Finnish accounting principles and corporate legislation complementing IFRS. The
consolidated financial statements are presented in millions of euros and have been prepared under the
historical cost convention, unless otherwise stated in these accounting policies. All figures presented have
been rounded, and consequently the sum of individual figures can deviate from the presented sum figure.
Key figures have been calculated using exact figures.
Consolidation principles
The consolidated financial statements include the Parent company Tietoevry Corporation and all
subsidiaries over which the Parent company has directly or indirectly more than one half of the voting
rights, or the Parent company is otherwise in control of the company. Control exists when the company is
exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and can affect those
returns through its power over the entity.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is achieved until the date on which control
ceases by using the acquisition method. Intra-group receivables, payables and transactions including
dividends and internal profit are eliminated on consolidation. When necessary, subsidiaries’ accounting
policies have been aligned to correspond to the Group’s accounting policies. The result for the period and
items of other comprehensive income are attributable to the equity holders of the parent company.
Foreign currency transactions
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group's entities are measured using the currency
of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency). The
consolidated financial statements are presented in euros, which is the Parent company’s functional and
presentation currency.
Foreign currency transactions are translated into local functional currencies using the exchange rates
prevailing on the transaction date. The foreign currency monetary items are translated using period-end
exchange rates. The foreign currency non-monetary items held at fair value are translated into the
functional currency using the exchange rate prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined or
remeasured. Other non-monetary items are recognized at the exchange rate prevailing on the transaction
date.
For internal, long-term loans to subsidiaries, when classified as net investment in foreign operation, all
related unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss in the separate
financial statements. In the consolidated financial statements, such exchange differences are recognized
initially in other comprehensive income and reclassified from equity to profit or loss on disposal of the net
investment.
Other foreign exchange gains and losses related to business operations are included in operating profit.
Foreign exchange gains and losses associated with financing are recognized in finance income and
expenses.
48
For Group entities whose functional and presentation currency is other than the euro, the income
statements and statements of financial position are translated into the Group presentation currency as
follows:
assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated using the
exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date;
income and expenses for each income statement are translated using the average exchange
rates of the reporting period;
all resulting translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.
When a subsidiary is sold, any translation differences are recognized in the consolidated income
statement as part of the gain or loss on the sale.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities arising on the
acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated into
euro using the exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date. Translation differences arising are
recognized in other comprehensive income.
3.    Adoption of new and amended IFRS standards and interpretations
The following amendments to IFRS standards became effective on 1 January 2023. They have not had a
material impact on the amounts reported or on the disclosures in these financial statements.
Amendments to IAS 1 – Disclosure of Accounting Policies
Amendments to IAS 8 – Definition of Accounting Estimates
Amendments to IAS 12 – Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single
Transaction
Amendments to IAS 12 – International Tax Reform – Pillar Two Model Rules
IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts
New and revised IFRS standards in issue but not yet effective
At the date of authorization of these financial statements, the Group has not applied the new and revised
IFRS standards that have been issued but are not yet effective. Management does not expect the adoption
of these to have a material impact on the Group's financial statements in future reporting periods. The
Group intends to adopt these new and amended standards and interpretations, if applicable, when they
become effective and are endorsed by the EU.
4.    Use of judgements and estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed at the reporting date. Although
these estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results
may differ from the estimates. In addition, management judgement is required in the application of
accounting policies, especially when IFRS permits alternative accounting, valuation and presentation
methods.
Management believes that the following accounting principles represent those matters, where
management judgement has the most significant effect on the amounts recognised or where different
estimate could result in significant adjustment to reported carrying amounts within the next financial year.
These are described in more detail in the related notes.

Further, management has considered the impact of climate change when preparing the consolidated
financial statements. There has not been any material impact on judgements and estimates arising from
those considerations.

PERFORMANCE FOR THE YEAR
This section comprises disclosures related to the performance of the Group, including segment
information, revenue recognition, other operating income and expenses, as well as information on
employee benefits, taxes and earnings per share.
5.    Segment information
Tietoevry Group is comprised of five operating segments: Tietoevry Create, Tietoevry Banking, Tietoevry
Care, Tietoevry Industry, and Tietoevry Tech Services. From 1 April 2023, Tietoevry Transform and
Tietoevry Connect were combined to form Tietoevry Tech Services. In 2023, the financials of Tietoevry
Tech Services are reported as a new segment and the comparative information has been restated
accordingly.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to
the Group Executive Management, which has been identified as Tietoevry’s chief operating decision
maker being responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating
segments as well as deciding on strategy.
The Group Executive Management assesses the profitability of segments principally on the basis of
adjusted operating profit (EBITA). Operating profit (EBIT) is, however, also an essential measure and
is disclosed in this segment note as it is most consistent with the result reported in accordance with
IFRS. Transactions between the segments are made on a market-terms basis.
Eliminations include internal revenue between operating segments and Group function sales of
internal services to the business. Non-allocated costs relate to Global management and Support
functions and are shown separately in the operating profit (EBIT).

Impairment losses
In 2023, the Group recognised impairment losses on lease agreements for office and other facilities in
Finland and Czech Republic totalling EUR 2.7 million. In addition, as a result of annual impairment testing,
Tietoevry Create recognized a goodwill impairment loss of EUR 2.1 million for the carrying value of Tieto
Esy Oy.
In 2022, Tietoevry Banking reached a settlement with a customer following their decision to exit a Nordic
market and therefore to terminate an implementation project. Capitalized development work specific for
this customer was written-off resulting in an impairment loss of EUR 18.7 million. See also note 6. In
addition, Tietoevry Tech Services recognized an impairment loss of EUR 1.4 million for the joint venture
TietoIlmarinen, and bought the remaining 30% share of the company. TietoIlmarinen has been
consolidated as a 100% owned subsidiary since 31 December 2022. See also note 27.
6.    Revenue
The business models of the Group consist of continuous services, software solutions, projects and
consulting. Revenue comprises the fair value for the sale of IT services and software licenses, net of
discounts and exchange rate differences.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in a
contract with a customer and excludes consideration collected on behalf of third parties. The Group
recognizes revenue when it transfers control of a good or service to a customer.
The Group typically provides customers with a variety of comprehensive services. The individual
service delivery contracts are often structured under a common frame contract where general terms
for the service delivery to the customer are defined. The content of the delivery, performance
obligations and pricing, are defined in the service delivery contracts. Management judgement is used
to determine the basis for the revenue recognition; either an individual service delivery contract or a
group of combined contracts.
Revenue from service contracts is based on service volumes or time and materials and the
performance obligations are recognized over the accounting period in which the services are
rendered or project is delivered. The services are generally satisfied and the control transferred to
the customer over time given that either the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the
benefits provided by the Group, or the Group’s performance does not create an asset with an
alternative use for the Group, in which case there is an enforceable right to payment for work
completed to date.
In the majority of the businesses providing continuous services, time and material projects and
consulting, the performance obligations satisfied are invoiced on a monthly basis. At the time of
invoicing, a receivable is recognized by the Group as this represents the point in time at which the
right to consideration becomes unconditional, as only the passage of time is required before
payment is due. The standard payment term is 30 days according to the Group’s Credit Policy.
Goods, typically distinct licenses, that provide a right to use the software, are invoiced on delivery.
The license revenue is recognized at a point in time when the license is delivered, the legal title has
passed, the customer has accepted the license and has access to the licensed software. Distinct
licenses, that provide a right to access the software, are recognized over the contract period.
Contract assets or liabilities do not typically arise in the businesses described above.
For contracts comprising fixed-price projects, revenue is recognized based on the actual service
provided by the reporting date as a proportion of the total services to be provided. This is
determined based on the cost of actual labour hours spent relative to the total expected cost of
labour hours, as it best reflects the transfer of control to the customer. Estimates of revenues, costs
or progress towards completion are revised if circumstances change and any resulting increases or
decreases in estimated revenues or costs are reflected in profit or loss in the period in which the
circumstances that give rise to the revision become known by management. Invoicing and customer
payments in the fixed-price projects follow the payment schedule defined in the customer contract.
If the services rendered by the Group exceed the payment, a contract asset is recognized, and if the
payments exceed the services rendered, a contract liability is recognized.
The customer contracts of the Group typically comprise several of the business models described
above. The most appropriate presentation on how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of
revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors is considered to be the disaggregation of
revenue by segment, presented in the segment information note 5. The disaggregation of customer
sales from long-term fixed-price contracts by segment represents the revenue from contracts for
which the risks are different compared to other contracts with customers.
Some contracts include delivery of hardware together with a variety of services from the Group.
Hardware is usually provided by another service provider. The installation of hardware is simple,
does not include an integration service from the Group and could be performed by another party. It
is, therefore, accounted for as a separate performance obligation. In these contracts, Tietoevry acts
as an agent, if the Group does not obtain control of the hardware provided by another party before it
is transferred to the customer, or as a principal if control is obtained.
53
Where the contracts include multiple performance obligations, the transaction price is allocated to
each performance obligation based on the stand-alone selling prices, which are observable from the
contracts and represent prices for services rendered in similar circumstances to similar customers.
Revenue from contracts granting a discount retrospectively to the customer is recognized based on
the price specified in the contract, net of the estimated discounts. Discounts are estimated based on
management's experience of the earlier purchases of the customers under similar contracts. This
estimation is regularly updated during the contract period. Revenue is only recognized to the extent
that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized
will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently
resolved.
In settlement agreement cases, consideration paid to customers is reduced from revenue when a
settlement agreement is signed with the customer. Consideration received from customers is
recognized as revenue or other operating income depending on the facts and circumstances.
The Group grants assurance type of warranties which guarantee that the delivery complies with
agreed specifications. These are accounted for in accordance with IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent
Liabilities and Contingent Assets.
The Group does not have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised
goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. Consequently,
the Group does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.
The Group capitalizes material costs of set-up activities related to transition or implementation
projects in the initial phase of continuous operating service contracts, when the criteria for
capitalization according to IFRS 15 are met. Management judgement has been used when developing
internal guidance on the tasks defined as set-up activities in the Group. The set-up activities do not
result in the transfer of a promised good or service and are not identified as a performance obligation
to the customer. The capitalized costs of a contract are amortized during the period when the
revenue for the related continuous operating service contract is recognized.

7.    Other operating income and expenses
Other operating income includes income other than that associated with the principal activities of
Tietoevry, such as capital gains and foreign exchange gains on derivatives. Other operating expenses
mainly relate to information and communication technology and premises related costs as well as
professional services, such as consulting, and marketing. Costs related to shared platforms in
infrastructure services are recognized in other operating expenses when they are not directly linked to any
specific customer.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Government grants
Government grants are recognized as other operating income on a systematic basis over the periods
necessary to match them with the related costs that they are intended to compensate.
Research and development costs
Research costs are expensed when incurred. Development costs related to major new software
products are capitalized as intangible assets when it is probable that the development will generate
future economic benefits for the Group, and certain criteria related to commercial and technological
feasibility are met. Development costs comprise service and solution development focusing on, for
example, industry-specific software, customer experience management and security services, as
well as cloud services. Additionally, the costs for related internal development e.g. automation in
infrastructure services, are included in development costs.

8.    Employee expenses
Employee expenses consist of wages and salaries and related social costs. Tietoevry has also post-
employment benefit plans as well as share-based incentive plans for key employees. Termination benefits
refer to benefits arising from termination of employment, not performance of work.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Employee benefits are recognised in the period in which services are rendered by the employees.
Termination benefits are recognised at the time an agreement between the Group and the employee
is made and no future service is rendered by the employee in exchange for the benefits.
Share-based incentive plans
Tietoevry has share-based incentive plans for its key employees which are accounted for as equity-
settled. The plans are valued at fair value based on the market price of Tietoevry shares at the grant
date and recognized as an employee benefit expense during the vesting period with a corresponding
entry in equity. At each reporting date, the number of shares that are expected to vest from the
Group’s share-based incentive plans is revised. As part of this evaluation, the changes in the
forecasted performance of the Group, the expected turnover of the personnel participating in the
plans and other information impacting the number of shares to vest, is taken into consideration. Any
adjustments to the initial estimates are recognized in profit or loss and a corresponding adjustment is
made to equity. In countries where the reward is intended to be paid fully in cash, the costs are
accounted for as cash-settled. Social costs paid on top of the reward are accounted for as cash-
settled.

Each member of the Board of Directors receives a fixed annual remuneration and additional meeting based
remuneration. According to the decision by the Annual General Meeting, the yearly remuneration is as
follows: Chairperson EUR 133 000, Deputy Chairperson EUR 72 000, and ordinary member EUR 54 500. In
addition to these fees, the Chairperson of a permanent Board Committee receives an annual fee of
EUR 20 000 and a member of a permanent Board Committee receives an annual fee of EUR 10 000. In
addition, remuneration of EUR 800 is paid to the Board members elected by the Annual General Meeting
for each Board of Director's meeting, permanent committee or temporary subgroup meeting. Further,
remuneration for employee representatives elected as ordinary members of the Board of Directors will be
an annual fee of EUR 15 000, and remuneration for the deputy members will be EUR 7 500. Remuneration
for the employee representatives is paid in cash only.
The Annual General Meeting also approved that part of the fixed annual remuneration may be paid in the
company’s shares purchased from the market. An elected member of the Board of Directors may, at his/
her discretion, choose to receive the fee from the following five alternatives:
1. No cash, 100% in shares
2. 25% in cash, 75% in shares
3. 50% in cash, 50% in shares
4. 75% in cash, 25% in shares, or
5. 100% in cash, no shares.
The shares will be purchased in accordance with an acquisition programme prepared by the company. If
the remuneration cannot be paid in shares due to insider regulation, termination of the Board member’s
term of office or other reason relating to the member of the Board, the remuneration shall be paid fully in
cash. In addition to the share remuneration, the Board members do not belong to or are not compensated
with other share-based arrangements, nor do the members have any pension plans at Tietoevry except the
employee representatives.
The Shareholders' Nomination Board based on shareholdings as at 31 August 2023 consisted of the
following representatives announced by Tietoevry’s shareholders:
Annareetta Lumme-Timonen, Investment Director, Solidium Oy

Share-based incentive plans
The aim of Tietoevry's share-based incentive plans is to align the objectives of shareholders and key
employees in order to increase the value of the company in the long-term. At the end of 2023, Tietoevry's
share-based incentive plans included Performance Share Plans  2021–2023, 2022–2024 and 2023–2025
as well as Restricted Share Plans 2021–2023, 2022–2024 and 2023–2025. The rewards from the plans
will be paid partly in the company’s shares and partly in cash. The cash proportion is intended to cover
taxes and tax-related costs arising from the reward.
As a rule, no reward will be paid, if a participant´s employment or service ends before the reward payment.
The Board of Directors anticipates that share rewards to be delivered to the participants under the plans
will consist of shares to be acquired from the market. Thus, no new shares will be issued in connection
with the plans.
The Performance Share Plan 2020–2022 and the Restricted Share Plan 2020–2022 ended in 2023. Based
on the achievements of the targets, a total of 565 314 gross shares were earned and of these 302 789 net
shares were delivered to the participants. Tietoevry used its treasury shares for the reward payments. In
2023, the following gross shares were earned and paid fully in cash to participants who left Tietoevry in
accordance with the plan rules: a total of 20 884 gross shares under Performance Share Plan 2021-2023, a
total of 14 951 gross shares under Performance Share Plan 2022-2024 and a total of 118 gross shares
under Performance Share Plan 2023-2025.
The estimated future cash payment to be made to the tax authorities from share-based payments is EUR
9.3 million.

Assumptions made in determining the fair value of Tietoevry's Share-based incentive
plans
For Performance Share Plans and Restricted Share Plans, the fair value has been determined at grant using
the fair value of the company share as of the grant date and expected dividends. Market-based
performance metric outcome probability is estimated using Monte-Carlo simulation.
The fair value of social costs settled in cash are remeasured at each reporting date until settlement.
For share plan grants made in 2023, the fair value of the part recognised in equity has been determined at
grant date using the following assumptions. The part recognised as a liability is based on the share price at
the end of the reporting period:
Share price at grant: EUR 22.70
Expected dividends: EUR 3.61
Risk-free interest rate: 3.07%
Expected volatility (historical daily observations over corresponding maturity): 23.2%
Contractual life: 2.8 years
Fair value at grant: EUR 12.22
Share price at year-end: EUR 21.54

Share option programme transferred from EVRY - settled in 2022
As part of the Merger plan, it was agreed that EVRY's incentive plans will continue and will be transformed
in a value neutral way into restricted stock units or performance shares in the combined company, with
equivalency on all material respects with regards to economic value, vesting conditions and other terms
and conditions, taking into account the strike price of the options and by applying an option conversion
ratio of 1:0.1423. Any existing right for EVRY to settle options and/or restricted stock units under the plans
in cash, will continue as a right for the combined company. The final reward instalment from Long-Term
Incentive Plan 2018 was paid in 2022. Based on the achievements of the targets, a total of 54 061 gross
shares were earned and of these, 26 442 net shares were delivered to the participants. Tietoevry used its
treasury shares for the reward payments.

9.    Income taxes
Income tax expenses comprise current and deferred tax. Deferred tax assets and liabilities charged by the
same tax authority are netted and, therefore, shown net on the statement of financial position.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Tax expense for the period includes current taxes of the Group companies based on taxable profit
for the year, together with tax adjustments for previous years and changes in deferred taxes. Tax is
recognized in the income statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other
comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the related income tax is also recognized
in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. The share of results in joint
ventures is reported in the income statement based on the net result and thus, including the income
tax effect.
Deferred income tax is recognized, using the liability method, on temporary differences between the
tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements
as well as on tax loss carry forwards. Deferred income tax is determined using the tax rates and laws
which have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date and are expected to apply
when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred taxes are not recognized on temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries to
the extent that they will probably not be reversed in the foreseeable future.
A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will
be available against which the asset can be utilized. The deferred tax assets and liabilities arising
from consolidation are recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position if it is probable
that the related tax effects will occur.
ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
At each reporting date, management estimates the amount of probable future taxable profits against
which unused tax losses can be utilized. As the actual profits may differ from the forecasts, the
change will affect the taxes in future periods.
The group operates globally and is, therefore subject to changing tax laws in multiple jurisdictions.
The interpretation of tax legislation requires management judgement, and the applied interpretations
may include uncertainties.

OECD Pillar Two income taxes
In December 2021, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) released the
Pillar Two model rules (the Global Anti-Base Erosion model rules, or "GloBE") to reform international
corporate taxation. Tietoevry is within the scope of the Pillar Two model rules. The relevant legislation was
enacted in Finland, the country of incorporation for Tietoevry Corporation, and is effective from 1 January
2024.
Since the Pillar Two legislation was not effective at the reporting date, the Group has no related current tax
exposure. The Group applies the exception to recognizing and disclosing information about deferred tax
assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two taxes.
Under the model rules, the Group is liable to pay top-up tax for the difference between its GloBE effective
tax rate per jurisdiction and the 15% minimum tax rate. Management has assessed that the Group will not
have material exposure to Pillar Two income taxes in any of its jurisdictions.

The majority of the deferred tax assets and liabilities is expected to be recovered after more than 12 months.
On 31 December 2023, the Group's unused tax loss carry forwards amounted to EUR 108.9 (177.4) million pertaining to deferred tax assets of EUR 23.6 (39.0) million. These losses relate mainly to Norway and Sweden and
have no expiry date. Based on profit forecasts, it is probable that there will be sufficient future taxable profits available against which these tax losses can be utilized.
On 31 December 2023, the Group had tax loss carry forwards amounting to EUR 0.4 (0.7) million pertaining to deferred tax assets of EUR 0.1 (0.1) million, which were not recognized due to uncertainty of utilization.
The Group does not have any material uncertain tax positions in accordance with IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments.

10.    Earnings per share
The total number of Tietoevry's shares on 31 December 2023 amounted to 118 425 771. At the end of the
reporting period, the number of own shares totalled 34 679, representing 0.03% of the total number of
shares and voting rights.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basic Earnings per share (EPS) is calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to the shareholders
of the Parent company by the weighted average number of shares in issue during the year, excluding
shares purchased by Tietoevry and held as own shares.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of shares
outstanding during the year with the shares estimated to be delivered based on the share-based
incentive plans.

INVESTED CAPITAL AND WORKING CAPITAL ITEMS
This section includes disclosures describing the assets that form the basis for the activities of Tietoevry
and the related liabilities.
11.    Goodwill and other intangible assets
Tietoevry's intangible assets comprise mainly goodwill, internally developed software (capitalized
development costs), and intangible assets acquired in business combinations, such as technology,
trademarks and customer relationships. Intangible assets also include software licenses. Tietoevry does
not have any intangible assets with indefinite useful lives other than goodwill.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Intangible assets other than goodwill are recognized initially at cost. An intangible asset is
recognized only if it is probable that the future economic benefits attributable to the asset will flow to
the Group and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. All other costs are expensed as
incurred.
After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less amortization and accumulated
impairment losses. Intangible assets are amortized over their useful lives with the straight-line
method. Assets that are subject to amortization are tested for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the carrying
amount of the intangible asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss equal to the
difference is recognized in profit or loss. 
Internally developed software
Development costs related to major new software products are capitalized as intangible assets
when it is probable that the development will generate future economic benefits for the Group, and
certain criteria related to commercial and technological feasibility are met. Development projects are
analysed individually to determine the moment when the project has reached a milestone after
which capitalization of development costs can start. Only costs which are directly attributable to the
development are capitalised.
Subsequent to initial recognition, these costs are measured at cost less accumulated amortization
and impairment losses. The amortization period for internally developed software depends on the
technology renewal cycle and contract duration. Internally developed software for which
amortization has not yet started is tested for impairment on an annual basis by comparing the asset's
carrying amount with its recoverable amount. If the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable
amount, an impairment loss equal to the difference is recognized in profit or loss. 
Intangible assets recognised from acquisitions
Intangible assets acquired in business combinations are measured at fair value at the acquisition
date. These are usually customer or technology related and have finite useful lives.
Gains and losses on disposal of intangible assets are included in other operating income and
expenses.
The Group applies the following useful lives:

Internally developed software (capitalized development costs)
5–15
64
Goodwill
Goodwill arising on a business combination represents the excess of the aggregate of the
consideration transferred, the amount of non-controlling interests in the acquiree and previously
held equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net
assets acquired. Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. It is not
amortized, but tested for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. For the purpose of
impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to the operating segments of the Group, which are the cash
generating units (CGU) expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination. If the
carrying amount of goodwill allocated to the operating segments exceeds its recoverable amount, an
impairment loss equal to the difference is recognized in profit or loss. The recoverable amount is the
higher of the value in use represented by the net present value of future cash flows and the fair value
less costs to sell. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed.
In respect of joint ventures, goodwill is included in the carrying amount of the investment.
ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
Estimates are made when determining the fair values of assets acquired in a business combination.
The valuation requires management to determine the appropriate valuation technique and inputs for
fair value measurements, such as discount rate.
Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of the value-in-use of the cash-
generating units (CGU) to which goodwill has been allocated. The value-in-use calculation requires
management to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the CGUs and an appropriate
discount rate to calculate present value.
While management believes that the estimates and assumptions used are reasonable, there are
uncertainties which could materially affect the valuations.

1) Includes technology and customer related intangible assets as well as trademark recognized at fair value from acquisitions.
2) Comprises mainly the development of Tietoevry's Lifecare and Core banking & Payment solutions. In 2022, Tietoevry Banking reached a settlement with a customer following their decision to exit a Nordic market and therefore to terminate an implementation project. Capitalized development work
specific for this customer was written-off resulting in an impairment loss of EUR 18.7 million. See also  note 5.

Impairment testing of goodwill
The annual impairment testing was carried out in the fourth quarter of 2023 in line with Group accounting
policy. The Group is organized into five businesses which are Tietoevry Create, Tietoevry Banking,
Tietoevry Care, Tietoevry Industry, and Tietoevry Tech Services. From 1 April 2023, Tietoevry Transform
and Tietoevry Connect were combined to form Tietoevry Tech Services, and the comparative information
has been restated accordingly. The five businesses form the Group's operating segments, see note 5 for
more information on the segments. The businesses form the cash-generating units (CGU) providing
services to selected customers in their market segments, and represent the lowest level at which goodwill
is monitored for internal management purposes.

Compared to 31 December 2022, the goodwill increased by EUR 137.4 million as a result of the acquisition
of MentorMate and decreased by EUR 76.6 million due to exchange rate fluctuations.
As a result of the impairment testing, no impairment was identified.
Recoverable amounts
The recoverable amounts of the CGUs of Tietoevry are determined based on value-in-use calculations
which are prepared using discounted cash flow projections. Annually, management of the Group defines
the long-term ambitions and strategic objectives for the coming years taking into account, for example,
industry growth forecasts obtained from external sources as well as salary increase assumptions. The
strategic objectives serve as basis for the businesses' long-term plans which are reviewed and approved
by the Group's top management. 
The planning horizon covers a five-year period including key assumptions for sales growth rate,
development of EBITDA, capital expenditure including investments for right-of-use assets, tax payments
and changes in net working capital. Forecasted EBITDA margins are adjusted for expected efficiency
improvements. The key assumptions used are based on past experience and reflects management's
expectations of future development of sales prices, business mix, costs, market shares and volumes.
Subsequent to the five-year projection period, the terminal growth rate used is 2%, which is consistent with
the long term inflation rates in the Nordic countries (as the primary locations) and does not exceed the
expectations of growth in real terms.
Discount rate
The discount rate applied to the cash flow projections is the weighted average pre-tax cost of capital
(WACC). The components of the WACC rates are risk-free rate, market risk premium, country risk premium,
industry specific beta, cost of debt and debt equity ratio. The risk-free rate is based on 30-year German
government bond adjusted by the weighted average inflation differential between Germany and the
countries where each CGU has operations. The discount rates are also adjusted for the additional business
risk of the CGUs. The pre-tax discount rates for the CGUs vary between 8.8% and 11.6%.

Sensitivity analysis
The value-in-use calculation for each CGU is most sensitive to changes in WACC and EBITDA margin
assumptions. No reasonable change in key assumptions would result in recognition of an impairment loss in
any of the CGUs. The CGU that is most sensitive to changes in assumptions in the goodwill impairment test
is Tietoevry Tech Services, where a decrease of 2–3 percentage points in the long-term EBITDA margin
would cause the recoverable amount of this CGU to equal the carrying amount.The recoverable amount for
Tietoevry Tech Services exceeded the carrying amount of the assets tested by approximately EUR 430
million.

12.    Property, plant and equipment
Tietoevry's property, plant and equipment comprise mainly information and communication technology
(ICT) equipment.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment
losses.
Land is not depreciated. Property, plant and equipment acquired in business combinations are
measured at fair value at the acquisition date. Depreciation is recognized according to plan based on
the estimated economic lives of the individual assets and accounted for in accordance with the
straight-line method. The assets' residual useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at
each reporting date.
Assets that are subject to depreciation are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount of
the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss equal to the difference is recognized
in profit or loss. 
The group applies the following useful lives:

13.    Leases
Tietoevry Group mainly acts as a lessee and leases premises, IT equipment and cars. In monetary terms,
the highest portion of the Group's lease portfolio is for leasing premises. Tietoevry Group also leases
equipment for data centres to support continuous service delivery to its customers.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Group as a lessee
The Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease at inception of the contract. The
Group recognizes a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability at the commencement date
of a lease. Initially, the lease liability is measured at the present value of the future lease payments to
be made over the lease period. The lease payments include fixed payments, less any lease
incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, and amounts
expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise
price of a purchase option if it is reasonably certain to be exercised and payments of penalties for
terminating the lease if the lease term reflects the exercise of a termination option.
To determine the present value of future lease payments, the Group discounts the lease payments
using the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date if the interest rate implicit in
the lease is not readily determinable. The incremental borrowing rate reflects the rate at which the
Group could borrow an amount similar to the value of the right-of-use asset in a similar economic
environment. At year-end, the average annual incremental borrowing rate applied to discount
remaining lease payments for existing lease agreements is 5.9%.
The Group determines the lease term as the non-cancellable period of the lease, together with the
periods covered by an option to extend the lease, if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, and
periods covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised.
The Group has some lease contracts for which the lease term is cancellable with only a short
notification period (“evergreen leases”). Management uses judgement to evaluate the lease term for
leases with extension or termination options, and for leases with a short notification period.
Management estimates the lease term based on overall strategy and business development plans as
well as contract specific facts and circumstances.
At 31 December 2023, the weighted average residual lease term for lease contracts is 6.6 years
(residual terms vary between 0.1 - 16.3 years).
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses,
and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets comprises the
initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, initial direct costs incurred, and lease
payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right-of
use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the
estimated useful life of the underlying asset.
Lease liabilities are measured at amortized cost. The carrying amount of lease liabilities is increased
to reflect the interest on the lease liability and decreased for the lease payments made. Interest
expenses related to the lease liabilities are recognized in profit or loss. The carrying amount of lease
liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term or in lease payments, or
a change in the Group’s assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.
The Group applies the recognition exemption provided for leases. Lease payments for leases of low
value assets and short-term leases (less than 12 months) are recognized in the income statement on
a straight-line basis. The low value assets comprise IT equipment and office furniture.
The Group has elected to separate the service component of a lease for all asset types, except for
cars, where only variable lease payments are excluded from the measurement of the lease liability.
Non-lease components are separated from lease payments based on fair market value. If such
information is not readily available, management judgment is applied in estimating the value.
The Group presents the payment of the principal portion of the lease liability in the cash flows from
financing activities and the interest portion in the cash flows from operating activities. Lease
payments related to low value assets and short-term leases are presented in cash flow from
operating activities.
The Group as a lessor
If an arrangement conveys a right to use a specific asset to a purchaser, often together with related
services, the assets, mainly technical equipment, are classified as embedded finance leases. Further
the lease is classified either as Operating lease or Finance lease. At 31 December 2023, all such
cases have been classified as Finance leases. Sales derived from these embedded finance leases are
recognized at the beginning of the agreement period. The annual payments are disclosed as
amortization of the finance lease loan receivable and interest income.

14.    Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables represent amounts that Tietoevry expects to collect from other parties in the ordinary
course of business. Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and the standard payment term is 30 days,
according to the Group’s Credit Policy. Contract assets relate to fixed-price projects where the customer
invoicing is based on agreed milestones and the services rendered by the reporting date exceed the
payment received. License fees relate to prepaid license costs that will be realized on an accrual basis in
future periods. Other interest-bearing receivables relate to assets that are financed as part of customer
deliveries and where the contracts are treated as service contracts.
Trade receivables to be sold via non-recourse arrangements for the sale of receivables, but not yet
derecognized as of the reporting date, are classified as Financial assets at fair value. More information in
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost less
expected credit loss allowance (ECL). Tietoevry has elected to use the practical expedient and
calculate lifetime ECL based on a pre-defined allowance matrix with customer segment specific
credit characteristics, based on the following criteria:
Country Group (Finland, Sweden, Norway, Other European Union countries, Other countries)
Customer Industry Group (Financial Services, Public Healthcare & Welfare, Industrial customer
Services)
Balance due status (Not yet due, overdue 1–7 days, 8–30 days, 31–60 days, 61–90 days, over
90 days)
Lifetime ECL represents the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events
over the expected life of a financial instrument. Default is defined as 90 days past due or a write off
event, due to inability to collect debt.
For each segment, the ECL rate (expressed as a percentage) indicates the historical average defaults
identified during the past three years and also the Group’s assessment of the possible impact from
changes in the overall economic environment in which its customers operate. These collective
allowances can be increased if the customer has filed for bankruptcy but has not yet registered the
fact or if there are any facts or circumstances indicating that the customer’s credit risk is above
industry/country average.
No ECL is calculated for the portion of trade receivables, where the credit risk is covered by credit
insurance. When calculating ECL for contract assets, Tietoevry uses the ECL rate set for “not yet due”
invoices in the allowance matrix.
Trade receivables are permanently written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery.
Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to the income statement.
Other interest-bearing receivables are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently at
amortized cost during the contract period. The carrying amount of the trade and other receivables
approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.

1) The majority of trade receivables overdue over 90 days are subject to ongoing negotiations with a customer, with a corresponding entry in contract liabilities and therefore excluded from the ECL calculation which lowers the resulting ECL rate for that ageing category.
2) The credit insurance ended in 2023 and was not renewed.
There are no major concentrations of credit risk in the Group, see note 18. Impairment losses recognized on trade receivables and contract assets are included in other operating expenses in the income statement.

15.    Defined benefit plans
Group companies in different countries have a number of different post-employment benefit plans in
accordance with local requirements and practices. The majority of the plans are classified as defined
contribution plans. Post-employment benefit plans other than defined contribution plans are classified as
defined benefit plans.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The fixed contributions to defined contribution plans are recognized as employee benefit expenses
in the period to which they relate. The Group has no further legal or constructive payment
obligations once the contributions have been paid.
Defined benefit plans typically define an amount of post-employment benefit that an employee will
receive on retirement, usually dependent on one or more factors such as age, years of service and
compensation. Defined benefit plans are funded with payments to insurance companies.
For defined benefit plans, the net liability recognized in the statement of financial position equals the
present value of the defined benefit obligation at the closing date less the fair value of the plan
assets. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined separately for each plan by
independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The actuarial calculations include
several financial and demographic assumptions and any change in these will impact the carrying
amount and future expense of the defined benefit obligation.
Current service costs, past service costs and gains or losses on settlements are recognized in
employee benefit expenses. Net interest expense or income is recognized in financial items under
interest expense or interest income. All remeasurements of the defined benefit liability or asset
arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized directly in
other comprehensive income.
The Group manages defined benefit plans through insurance companies. The employer has guaranteed to
the members of the plans a certain level of benefit after their retirement, which depends on the length of
service and salary base. The salary base is an average of last years’ salaries indexed with common salary
index. After retirement, the benefit payable is indexed yearly.
In Finland, the Group’s risk covers approximately 170 non-active employees. When the pensioner who has
a vested pension retires, the final amount of the pension is revised in the Finnish pension plan and as a
result, the employer may incur additional costs. In addition, in the Finnish pension plan, the index increases
that are borne by the employer during the period between the grant date of the vested pension and the
beginning of the pension are charged only in the year when the pension is granted. In some insurance
contracts, under certain conditions, the insured person has the right to retire earlier than at the normal
retirement age. These additional expenses are charged at the beginning of the retirement. In 2022, the
majority of the defined benefit plans were converted to defined contribution plans resulting in costs of EUR
2.1 million and a settlement gain of EUR 7.5 million as well as a reduction of defined benefit obligations of
EUR 8.4 million.
In Sweden, the Group’s risk is only on active employees and the plan covers 60 employees. As the Group
does not have actuarial or investment risk for those plan members whose employment has ceased, the
plan members are removed from the pension plan and a settlement is recognized annually. In 2023, a
settlement loss of EUR 0.1 million was recognized in personnel expenses and the net defined benefit
liability increased by the corresponding amount.
In Norway, the collective defined benefit plan has been replaced with a defined contribution plan and an
unfunded compensation scheme for employees. The size of the compensation and the profile for its
accrual is based on parameters at the time of the change and are accounted for as a defined benefit plan in
the financial statements. The accrual formula and profile of the compensation scheme are used as the
basis to make provisions in the accounts so that the total compensation earned to date by employees at
any time is provided for as a liability in the consolidated statement of financial position. The plan covers
748 employees and pensioners. In addition, there are various other closed and unfunded pension plans in
Norway covering 289 employees and pensioners.

In Sweden, the plan assets are comprised from equity and debt instruments EUR 1.2 (0.8) million and other
assets EUR 0.7 (0.5) million.
In Finland, the plan assets are accrued from the insurance premiums paid to the insurance company and
accumulated up to the reporting date. The assets are part of the insurance company's investment assets
and they are responsible for reporting the assets. A specification of the plan assets is not available.

Expected contributions in 2024
Expected contributions to post-employment benefit plans for the year ending 31 December 2024 are EUR

Multi-employer plans
The ITP pension plans operated by Alecta and Collectum in Sweden are multi-employer defined benefit
pension plans which pool the assets contributed by various entities that are not under common control
and the assets provide benefits to employees of more than one entity. It has not been possible to get
sufficient information for the calculation of obligations and assets by employer from Alecta and Collectum
and, therefore, these plans have been accounted for as defined contribution plans in the consolidated
financial statements. In Tietoevry, 4 289 employees are included in these pension plans. The yearly
contributions to the plans are around EUR 21 million.
3 325 employees in the Group’s Norwegian companies are members of an early retirement scheme (AFP),
which is a multi-company defined benefit plan, and is financed by premium payments determined as a
percentage of salary. There is no reliable measurement and allocation of liabilities and assets between the
companies that participate in the scheme. The scheme is, therefore, treated for accounting purposes as a
defined contribution plan and the premiums paid are recognized as costs through profit or loss. The
premium rate for 2023 was 2.6% (2.6) corresponding to EUR 3.8 (4.8) million. The scheme is underfunded
and it is assumed that premiums will increase over time in order to ensure sufficient buffer capital to cope
with increased payments.

16.    Provisions
Provisions at Tietoevry Group comprise mainly restructuring and other employee related provisions, and 
contract-related provisions.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A provision is a liability of uncertain timing or amount which is recognized when the entity has a
present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event and it is more likely than not that an
outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and the amount of the
obligation can be measured reliably. Provisions are measured at the present value of the
expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation and are split between amounts
expected to be settled within 12 months at the end of the reporting period and amounts expected to
be settled later (non-current).
Provisions for restructuring
A restructuring provision is only recognized when a formal plan has been approved and the
implementation of it has either commenced or the plan has been announced.
Provisions for warranties
The Group's warranties provide assurance that the delivery will function as expected and in
accordance with contract specifications. Provisions related to these assurance-type warranties are
recognized during the project and used during the warranty period.
Other provisions
Other provisions include provisions for loss making contracts which are recognized for any
unavoidable net loss arising from the contract as well as employee related provisions other than
restructuring.
ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
Provisions require management to assess the best estimate of the future costs needed to settle the
present obligation at the reporting date. The actual costs may differ from the estimated costs.

Trade and other payables represent unpaid, non-interest bearing liabilities at the end of the reporting
period. Contract liabilities represent where a customer has paid consideration or payment is due, but
Tietoevry has not yet transferred goods or services to the customer.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities if settlement is due within 12 months
from the end of the reporting period. They are recognized at their fair value and subsequently
measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
The carrying amount of the trade and other payables approximate their fair values due to their short-
term nature.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND CAPITAL STRUCTURE
This section includes notes related to Tietoevry's financial risk and capital structure management. The
financial risks are monitored and managed via Tietoevry's Group Treasury.
18.    Management of financial risks and capital structure
The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, interest
rate risk and commodity risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The operative management of the treasury
activities of Tietoevry is centralized in Group Treasury. The Group Treasury is responsible for managing the
Group’s financial risk position and maintaining adequate liquidity. The Treasury Policy, which has been
approved by the Board of Directors, defines the principles for measuring and managing liquidity risk,
interest rate risk, foreign exchange risks and counter-party risk of the Group. The Treasury Policy also
defines the division of responsibilities with regard to financial risk management. The Group reviews and
monitors financial risks on a regular basis.
Market risk
Currency risk management
Transaction risk
Currency risk means the risk that the result or economic situation of the Group changes due to changes in
exchange rates. Foreign trade, Group internal transactions and liquidity management in non-euro
countries generate transaction exposure in the Group. The objective of the Group's currency risk policy is
to secure the profitability of operative business by managing recognized exposures while maintaining
sufficient flexibility to adjust to changing currency markets. The underlying exposure includes financial
items denominated in the non-functional currencies of operating companies, such as internal funding,
foreign currency bank account balances, and estimated cash flows such as firm commitments and future
trade transactions.
Swedish krona, Norwegian krone, Czech koruna, Indian rupee, Polish zloty and US dollar are the main
currencies with this exposure. During 2023, currency forward contracts were used to mitigate the risks.
Gains and losses from foreign exchange contracts are recognized in the consolidated income statement.
Group companies must hedge their identified currency risks with the Group Treasury unless there are legal
restrictions preventing this. The benchmark for the Group’s currency position is a situation where all the
identified currency risks are eliminated. A deviation from this benchmark is defined as an open position.
The following deviations can be made based on the total size of the Group’s gross currency position
(identified currency risks, excluding the hedging transactions):
+/- 15 %: Group Treasury
+/- 25 %: Treasury Committee
Greater deviation: Board of Directors
The overall operational hedging ratio at the end of December 2023 was 99% (98%).

1) The maximum pre-tax effect (EUR million) of 10% negative change in exchange rates on the Group's foreign exchange position over the
following year.
Translation risk
According to the Treasury Policy, hedging translation exposure is subject to the Board of Directors'
decision. Exposure includes the acquisition price, share capital and restricted and non-restricted reserves
of subsidiaries in non-euro countries, as well as the result of the period. NOK 16 145 and SEK 7 353 million
exposure forms the majority of the translation risk. The translation position was unhedged at the end of
2023. See also note 24.
Interest rate risk management
The most significant part of the Group's interest rate risk arises from its borrowings and financial
investments. The objective of interest rate risk management is to minimize the effect of interest rate
fluctuations on Tietoevry’s annual results and economic positions. Group Treasury is responsible for the
monitoring and operative management of the Group’s interest rate position. The interest rate position
includes loans, financial investments and interest rate derivative contracts. According to the Treasury
Policy, 24 months is defined as a benchmark for the Group's interest rate position, in terms of weighted
average time to re-pricing. At the end of  2023, the ratio was at 17 months (19 months in 2022).

Commodity risk management
The majority of electricity procurement has been centralized to selected supplier and under the selected
model, the Group does not enter into any new electricity derivative agreements in its own name.
Credit risk management
Credit risk is managed on Group level. Credit risk derives from financial investments, derivative contracts
and customer-related risks, such as accounts receivable. Group Treasury maintains a list of approved
counterparts for commercial paper investments and other financial transactions. Core banks of the Group
should have a minimum long-term rating of Baa3 or BBB-.
Customer-related credit risks are assessed based on payment history and financial strength in accordance
with the Credit Policy. The Credit Policy defines the limits for the acceptable level of customer credit risk in
terms of invoicing schedules and payment terms. The maximum exposure to customer related credit risk at
the reporting date is the carrying value of trade receivables. There are no major concentrations of credit
risk in the Group, whether through exposure to individual customers, specific industry sectors and/or
regions.
Liquidity risk management and funding
Liquidity risk management and funding principles are defined in the Treasury Policy. One of the key tasks of
Group Treasury is to secure adequate funding for the Group. The Group has a committed EUR 250 million
revolving credit facility, which matures in 2027 with 2 optional extension years. The Group has also
overdraft facilities and an uncommitted EUR 250 million commercial paper programme available to
maintain flexibility in funding. In addition, the Group has two facilities for the sale of receivables, EUR 50
million and SEK 550 million.

Capital management
The objective is to keep the capital structure on a level securing adequate financial flexibility for the
operations. The capital structure of the Group is being continuously monitored through Net debt/EBITDA
ratio. The ratio is calculated by dividing interest-bearing net debt with the last 12 months' EBITDA of the
Group. Net debt/EBITDA ratio is a covenant used in certain funding arrangements. Tietoevry Group is
within limits for this covenant as at the reporting date and comparative period.

The Group's interest-bearing liabilities consist of bonds, other loans, lease liabilities and cash pool
liabilities towards joint ventures.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Interest-bearing loans and borrowings are initially recognized at fair value, net of transaction costs
which are recognized in the income statement as interest expenses over the loan term. Debt is
classified as short term if it is payable within 12 months, otherwise it is classified as non-current.

21.    Financial assets and liabilities
Financial assets and liabilities of the Group consist of trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, lease
receivables and payables, trade payables, derivatives (see note 22), bonds and other interest-bearing
liabilities (see note 19).
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
All financial assets and liabilities are initially recognized at fair value, and subsequently classified
either as financial assets at amortized cost or financial assets through profit or loss.
Financial assets at amortized cost
Financial assets are accounted at amortized cost only when the asset is held within a business model
with the objective to collect contractual cash flows, which are solely payments of principal and
interest.
This category of financial assets includes trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents,
lease receivables and other interest-bearing receivables.
Financial assets in this category are carried at amortized cost in accordance with the effective
interest method with interest income recognized in profit or loss under financial items, see note 20.
Financial liabilities at amortized cost
Financial liabilities in this category are initially recognized at fair value, net of transaction costs
directly associated with the borrowing. For interest-bearing liabilities, after initial recognition,
liabilities are measured using the effective interest rate method, taking into account any issue costs
and any discount or premium on settlement. The related interest expenses are recognized in profit or
loss in financial items, see note 20.
Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets and liabilities in this category are recognized on the statement of financial position at
their fair value with gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair value, being recognized in the
income statement.
This category consists mainly of derivatives. Gains or losses from the revaluation of derivative
contracts that relate to financial items (loans, cash, leases) are presented as financing costs, see
note 20, whereas gains or losses from derivatives, mainly currency forward contracts that relate to
operating activities, are included in operating profit.
Fair value measurement is also applicable to trade receivables sold under non-recourse agreements
(for the sale of receivables), which have not yet been de-recognized from the statement of financial
position at the reporting date.
Other investments include unlisted shares, where the cost is considered to be a reasonable
approximation of their fair value.
Determination of fair values
The classification of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the statement of financial
position is based on three hierarchy levels:
Level 1: quoted prices in active markets for given or identical assets or liabilities that the entity
can access at the measurement date;
Level 2: inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly;
Level 3: unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The carrying amount of all financial assets and liabilities, carried at amortized cost is considered to
provide a reasonable approximation of their fair value, due to the short maturity and liquid nature of
these items, except for bonds which are traded on an active market.
The fair values of derivatives are determined based on prevailing marked quotes at the reporting
date. The fair values of foreign exchange derivatives are calculated according to foreign exchange
and interest rates on the closing date.

22.    Derivatives
Tietoevry Treasury uses currency forward and interest rate swap contracts to manage identified currency
and interest rate risks. More information on financial risk management is in note 18 and on the accounting
policies applied in note 21. Derivatives are used for economic purposes only.
Nominal amounts of derivatives
Includes the gross amount of all nominal values for contracts that have not yet been settled or closed. The
amount of nominal value outstanding is not necessarily a measure or indication of market risk, as the
exposure of certain contracts may be offset by other contracts.

The fair values of foreign exchange derivatives are calculated according to foreign exchange and interest
rates on the closing date. All outstanding currency derivative contracts will expire within 12 months after
the reporting date.
The fair values of interest rate swaps are based on values of corresponding agreements confirmed by the
bank.
Offsetting financial assets and liabilities
Agreements with derivatives' counterparties are based on ISDA Master Agreements or on agreements with
similar content with regards to offsetting financial assets and liabilities.
Based on the terms of these agreements, offsetting is possible only under certain circumstances, such as,
default of either of the parties or other force majeure events. If any of those occur, then the net position
owing/receivable to a single counterparty will be taken as owing.

Retained earnings
In addition to accumulated profits less dividends paid out, retained earnings include the following:
Costs of share-based payments which are accounted for as equity-settled and recognized as an
employee benefit expense during the vesting period with a corresponding entry in equity. More
information is disclosed in note 8.

Treasury shares. In 2023, Tietoevry repurchased 325 000 own shares which were further
delivered from the share-based incentive plans.
Cumulative translation differences arising from the translation of foreign Group companies’
assets and liabilities into euro; and
Other retained earnings and losses.
The cumulative translation differences were EUR -276.8 (-193.5) million. The translation differences in
Other comprehensive income were EUR -99.8 (-126.7) million.The majority of these arise on the NOK and
SEK foreign currency translation exposures. In 2023, NOK weakened by 6.9% against the Euro whereas
SEK strengthened by 0.2%, resulting in a negative net effect on the Other comprehensive income. In 2022,
both currencies weakened against the Euro, NOK by 5.3% and SEK by 8.5%, resulting in negative
translation differences in Other comprehensive income.
Distributable funds
On 31 Dec 2023, the distributable funds of the parent company totalled EUR 1 417.7 million of which
retained earnings were EUR 90.4 million and net profit for the financial year EUR 119.7 million. The Board of
Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting in 2024 that a dividend of EUR 1.47 per share will be
paid for 2023 (dividend of EUR 1.45 per share paid for 2022).

OTHER INFORMATION
This section includes information about the Group structure, joint ventures, related parties and
commitments.
25.    Acquisitions and divestments 
On 21 July 2023, Tietoevry acquired 100% of the shares of MentoMate, a digital engineering company
headquartered in Minneapolis, USA. The MentorMate acquisition advances Tietoevry Create’s strategic
ambition to become a leading digital engineering player globally. The acquisition significantly strengthens
Tietoevry Create's North American customer base and digital engineering capabilities across design, data,
cloud and AI, with employees in the attractive talent markets of Bulgaria and Paraguay.
In 2023, Tietoevry sold its wood supply software business to Vela Software International Inc., which is
headquartered in Toronto Canada. Conditions to complete the divestment have been fulfilled and the
transaction is closed. Revenue of the divested business amounted to approximately EUR 3.0 million in 2022
and the number of employees was approximately 30 across Sweden, Finland and India. The wood supply
software business was part of Tietoevry Industry. The gain recognised on the disposal was EUR 0.9 million.
In 2022, Tietoevry sold its Russian operations through a local management buy-out. With this transaction,
Tietoevry ended all its local operations in Russia and transitioned all its responsibilities including
employees, customers, suppliers, legal and regulatory to the new owners. The loss recognized on the
disposal was EUR 9.1 million.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. Subsidiaries are
consolidated from the date on which control is achieved until the date on which control ceases by
using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred for the acquisition is the fair values of
the assets transferred and the liabilities assumed. Acquisition related costs are recognised as
expenses for the period in which they are incurred.
Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially
at their fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of the consideration transferred over the fair
value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recognized as goodwill at the acquisition date. If the
cost of the acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets acquired in the case of a bargain
purchase, the resulting gain is recognized in profit or loss.
When a disposed operation is part of a cash-generating unit (CGU) to which goodwill has been
allocated, the goodwill associated with the disposed operation is included in the carrying amount of
the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal. Goodwill disposed in these
circumstances is measured based on the relative values of the disposed operation and the portion of
the cash-generating unit retained.
Assets held for sale
Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amounts are expected to be
recovered principally through sale and the sale is highly probable. From the date of classification, the
assets are measured at the lower of the carrying amount and the fair value less costs to sell, and the
recognition of depreciation is discontinued.
95
Acquisition of MentorMate in 2023
Acquisition accounting for the acquired entity is presented as provisional as at the reporting date and can
be adjusted within 12 months after the date of acquisition to reflect new information obtained about facts
and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date. The following table summarizes the fair values of
the assets and the liabilities recognized at the acquisition date and the consideration paid.

The identified intangible assets relate to customer relationships and marketing. Fair values for the
intangible assets have been determined using appropriate valuation methods including the multi-period
excess earnings method for customer relationship related intangible assets and the relief from royalty
method for marketing related intangible assets. The amortization periods for these intangible assets are 6
years and 1.4 years, respectively. The goodwill is attributable to the expected synergies, the skilled
assembled workforce obtained through the acquisition and future customers. The goodwill will be
deductible for tax purposes.
The fair value of the receivables amounted to EUR 9.1 million on 21 July including trade receivables of EUR
7.9 million. The full contractual amounts have been, or are expected to be, collected. The Group measured
the lease liabilities assumed using the present value of the remaining lease payments at the acquisition
date. The right-of-use assets were measured at an amount equal to the lease liabilities.
Since the acquisition date, MentorMate has contributed EUR 29.4 million in revenue and EUR 2.9 million in
net profit to the Group's consolidated statement of comprehensive income. The Group revenues for the
year would have been approximately EUR 2 890 million and Group net profit would have been
approximately EUR 177 million, if MentorMate had been consolidated from 1 January 2023.

preparations for the demerger sufficient financing for the demerging businesses with EUR 852 million
backup and term loan facilities from certain Nordic banks.

Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with good auditing practice in Finland. Our responsibilities under good auditing practice are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
section of our report.
We are independent of the parent company and of the group companies in accordance with the ethical requirements that are applicable in Finland and are relevant to our audit, and we have fulfilled our other ethical
responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
In our best knowledge and understanding, the non‐audit services that we have provided to the parent company and group companies are in compliance with laws and regulations applicable in Finland regarding these
services, and we have not provided any prohibited non‐audit services referred to in Article 5(1) of regulation (EU) 537/2014.
The non-audit services that we have provided have been disclosed in note 7 to the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the
financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
We have also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls. This includes consideration of whether there was evidence of management bias that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.

How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Revenue recognition
Refer to Note 6 in the consolidated financial statements.
Consolidated revenue of Tietoevry Oyj amounted to EUR 2 851.4 million (EUR 2 928.1
million).
Revenue consist mostly of continuous services, software solutions and consulting. In
addition to this, the Company has fixed‐price projects.
Revenue from service contracts, software solutions and consulting is based on service
volumes or time and materials; and the performance obligations are recognized over
the accounting period in which the services are rendered. For contracts comprising
fixed‐price projects, revenue is recognized based on the actual service provided by the
reporting date as a proportion of the total services to be provided.
Revenue is a key financial indicator and consists of a large volume of transactions. For
this reason the functionality of information system controls is emphasised in revenue
recognition. A significant part of the revenue is automatically recognized in accounting
through IT systems based on the fulfilment of the performance obligation.
Revenue recognition due to its significance require specific attention both from the
accounting and the auditing perspective.
We have evaluated the IT systems used for recognizing revenue by testing access and change management controls. We have also
evaluated process level controls by performing walkthroughs of significant classes of revenue transactions, assessed the design of key
controls and tested the operating effectiveness of those controls.
We have analyzed the transactions recorded to revenue by applying data analytics to identify entries originating from automated processes
and entries from manual journals. Based on our revenue related risk assessment we have focused our substantive audit procedures to the
transactions estimated as higher risk transactions.
Our substantive audit procedures to address the identified risk relating to revenue from services, software solutions and consulting
consisted among others, performing transactional testing procedures to validate the recognition of revenue throughout the year as well as
year‐end.
Our substantive audit procedures to address the risk of inappropriate accounting for fixed‐priced projects were focused on judgements
used by management in project estimates. We selected a sample of contracts and assessed the estimates based on projects’ status and
forecasted costs and income. We agreed the revenue estimates against the sales agreements and ensured that the revenue recognition
method applied was appropriate based on the terms of the agreement. We recalculated the revenue based on percentage of completion
and assessed the appropriateness of the percentage of completion by comparing actual costs from the Company’s accounting records to
the estimated total costs of the project.

Key audit matter
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Impairment testing of Goodwill
Refer to Note 11 in the consolidated financial statements.
Consolidated financial statements includes goodwill of EUR 1 907.3 million (1 846.5
million). Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
Goodwill is subject to annual impairment test. For testing purposes goodwill is
allocated to cash‐generating units. As a result of management’s goodwill impairment
test, no impairment was identified.
Goodwill impairment testing requires substantial management judgment over the
projected future business performance, cash flows and applied discount rate.
Note 11 in the consolidated financial statements describes key assumptions used by
management in the impairment test and related sensitivity analysis.
We have performed audit procedures on impairment testing prepared by management relating to material cash generating units and
assessed key controls over management’s goodwill impairment testing.
The recoverable amounts of the cash‐generating units are determined based on value‐in‐use calculations. Cash flows used in these
calculations are based on five‐year financial plans defined by group management.
We have assessed the key assumptions used by management in the impairment test for cash generating units by:
comparing the growth and profitability estimates used by management to historical performance.
comparing the estimates with the latest approved budgets and strategic plans.
involving our valuation specialists to verify that the discount rates and the long‐term growth rates are consistent with
observable market data.
validated the mathematical accuracy of the impairment calculations.
We have also assessed the related disclosure information.
We have no key audit matters to report with respect to our audit of the parent company financial statements. There are no significant risks of material misstatement referred to in EU regulation No 537/2014, point (c) of Article
10(2) relating to the consolidated financial statements or the parent company’s financial statements.
Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and the President and CEO for the Financial Statements
The Board of Directors and the President and CEO are responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU,
and of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the laws and regulations governing the preparation of financial statements in Finland and comply with statutory requirements. The Board of
Directors and CEO are also responsible for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Board of Directors and CEO are responsible for assessing the parent company’s and the group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating to
going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting. The financial statements are prepared using the going concern basis of accounting unless there is an intention to liquidate the parent company or the group or
cease operations, or there is no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with good auditing practice will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements
can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with good auditing practice, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery,
intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness
of the parent company’s or the group’s internal control.
117
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors’ and the President and CEO’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty
exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the parent company’s or the group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required
to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained
up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the parent company or the group to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events so that the
financial statements give a true and fair view.
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are
responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we
identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit
matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be
communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
