Enento in brief
OUR PURPOSE: WE BUILD TRUST IN THE EVERYDAY.
We collect and transform data to intelligence and knowledge used in
interactions between people, businesses and society.
Enento is one of the leading providers of digital
business and consumer information services in
the Nordic countries. Our roots reach back to the
inception of the Finnish credit management indus-
try when our predecessor was founded in 1905 by
the largest Finnish banks, wholesalers and retail
chains.
Enento has been listed on Nasdaq Helsinki since
2015. In June 2020, Asiakastieto Group became
Enento Group.
Our services include credit information, business
information, asset information, marketing informa-
tion and direct to consumer services. These services
are primarily used for risk management, finance,
administration, compliance, decision-making as
well as sales and marketing purposes.
We gather company, consumer, and asset data
from multiple external sources as well as through
our own collection processes. Our expertise lies
in managing and integrating diverse data points,
transforming them into valuable insights. With
extensive proprietary time series, we are able to
deliver distinctive products and services tailored
to customer needs. These offerings range from
straightforward report extracts to advanced, inte-
grated risk management solutions.
We serve a wide spectrum of customers and
industries across the Nordics, where we have
built long-standing relationships. Our client base
includes major enterprises in finance and banking,
wholesale, retail and e-commerce, utilities, and

Enento is a Nordic group with the following trusted
well-known brands: Asiakastieto and Emaileri

actionable intelligence. This empowers better deci-
sion-making, fosters transparency, and builds trust.
Our services support customers in advancing their
sustainability goals, particularly in areas such as
preventing over-indebtedness and fraud, ensuring
compliance, and addressing ESG (environmental,
social and governance) challenges.

as a sustainable workplace by advancing data
protection and information security, while promot-
ing responsible practices together with our suppli-
ers and partners.

We drive scalable growth and margin expansion in
our strategy period that ends in 2026
Credit at the core and largest growth
opportunities in business information
IN OUR STRATEGY WE HAVE DEFINED TWO STRATEGIC GOALS:
1) Retain and strengthen our leading position in the credit
information business
2) Become the leading provider of business information
services in the Nordics
Credit information continues to be at the core of our business. We
have many competitive advantages and continue to have a lead-
ing position in both Finland and Sweden. There is continuous need
for credit information and many growth opportunities. We continue
to expand our credit information services in new customer verticals
such as utilities, e-commerce and telecom. Moreover, we see great
potential in scaling up our new services, such as real-time financial
data services and fraud prevention and detection services, that are
closely linked with our core services.
We see strong potential for expanding our service offering across the
Nordics, particularly within compliance, master data, and real estate
information. These areas represent important growth drivers and
enable us to broaden the value we deliver to our customers. In parallel,
we aim to deepen our market penetration and reinforce our position
among both small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and large
corporations within business information services.
TO ENSURE PROFITABLE GROWTH, WE MUST ALSO:
Digitalize our business model to improve efficiency over time
and modernize SME services especially in Sweden.
Apply differentiated execution and go-to-market models for
different customer segments, businesses and services while
leveraging common capabilities and synergies
Utilize win-win partnerships for data, channels and technology.
Our strategic principles guide how our
employees focus on their daily work
We have four strategic principles that guide our employees to focus on
our most important outcomes in the day-to-day business: Customer
first, One Enento, Operational excellence and Empowered people.

In this strategy period, we have many growth opportunities while our
operating environment remains mixed. Demand for business infor-
mation services remains good, but especially the Swedish consumer
credit information market faces uncertainty due to the new regulatory
developments and structural changes.
This means that we need to continue to balance growth and prof-
itability, while simultaneously investing in long-term competitive-
ness and prioritized growth opportunities. Our strategic top priorities
include the following:
Win in business
information in Sweden
Become the number one compliance
service provider in our main markets
Finland and Sweden
Move towards modern, efcient
technology and operating model
enabling scalable growth
Retain and strengthen our strategic
position in the credit value chain

management capabilities and pose expertise to blend traditional and
unstructured data in different ways to create advanced models and
insights. Artificial intelligence and machine learning are applied to
optimize efficiency, speed and quality.
We provide services to a broad range of customers and industries in
the Nordics. Our customers are large companies within finance and
banking, wholesale, retail and e-commerce, utilities, telecom and
small and medium-sized companies and consumers. Often the same

which creates scale benefits in our business model. For example, the
same information can be used for the needs of credit decisioning,
customer onboarding, sales and marketing as well as procurement
and compliance processes.
Our services are distributed via modern Application Programming
Interfaces (API), online Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) or direct inte-
grations. We offer standardized products and services with an attrac-
tive value proposition to small and medium-sized companies. Our
products and services range from basic report extracts to sophisti-
cated, integrated risk management solutions.
Our competitive advantage lies in our long-term customer relation

ness processes.

Business Insight
BUSINESS AREAS AND SERVICES
Business Insight develops and provides a comprehensive suite of credit, business and asset
information services across Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark. The services are used for
variety of purposes such as risk management, screening, sales and marketing, sustainable
lending and procurement, combatting fraud and financial crime, as well as ensuring
compliance.
Enento has a strong market position in business information in the
Nordics. Business Insight provides high-quality data and services for
a broad range of customers with various credit, business and asset
information needs. We turn data into insights that enable customers
to automate business processes, monitor and analyze risks, and make
better decisions.
Our company credit and risk management services include credit
information, scoring models, monitoring and advanced financial
risk decisioning solutions. Our master data services help customers
to access quality data for everyday operations and decision-mak-
ing, whether it is identifying ideal clients and prospects for targeting,
analyzing companies, research and background checks. In addition,
we provide marketing services through online visibility.
Companies are facing growing pressure to know their customers and
investigate the backgrounds of various stakeholders to ensure legal
compliance and effectively manage risks. To answer this growing
demand, we provide many compliance screening and monitoring
solutions such as beneficial owners, shareholder information, politi-
cally exposed person (PEP) and sanction lists.
Our environmental, social and governance (ESG) services help
customers to solve the increasing sustainable lending and sustain-
able procurement needs. Our ESG offering includes company reports,
ESG Rating report, monitoring, API services as well as climate risk
reports and other property ESG data.
We provide asset information services with focus on real estate and
apartment information. Services include information on real property,

tion services for housing, forest and farmland as well as tools for digi-
tal transactions and digital applications for registration.
In SME business, we focus on improving the online sales efficiency,
driving traffic to our freemium sites, while converting users into paying
customers. High focus on self-service and self-onboarding for fast
and efficient customer journey.
Solid performance continued in 2025
In 2025, Business Insight business area’s net sales increased to EUR 91,8
million (EUR 89,5 million) with a growth of 2,6% at reported exchange
rates and 1,5% at comparable exchange rates. Sales grew in Finland,
grew strongly in Norway and Denmark, but declined in Sweden. Enter-
prise sales were close to flat and were particularly impacted by
weaker development in sales and marketing services. Premium sales
declined in both Finland and Sweden, whereas good growth contin-
ued in Norway. Freemium demonstrated strong growth in Norway and
Denmark thanks to successful sales efforts. Real estate information
grew well thanks to improved volumes and successful introduction
of new services particularly in Finland. Compliance services delivered
strong sales growth in Finland due to good customer demand and
expansion of our unique services.

Consumer Insight
BUSINESS AREAS AND SERVICES
Consumer Insight develops and provides leading consumer information and decisioning
services including consumer credit information, consumer marketing information and direct-
to-consumer services in Finland and Sweden. Our services have a key role in supporting
sustainable economy, lending and preventing over-indebtedness in society.
Enento is the market leader in consumer credit information in Finland
and Sweden. We hold a strong position in banking, finance and
consumer credit sector. Moreover, we have been growing in new
customer verticals such as e-commerce, telecom and utilities, which
underscores the broader value of our consumer information products
and services.
Consumer Insight provides high-quality data and services that are
highly valued by customers. Our offering ranges from basic report
extracts to more sophisticated, integrated risk management solu-
tions that combine diverse data points and sets. Advanced credit
services, such as scoring models, negative and positive credit data
and decisioning solutions, create value-adding intelligence and make
our offering unique in the market in terms of quality, accuracy and
reliability.
Low consumer lending volumes continued to
impact performance in 2025
Consumer Insight’s net sales amounted to EUR 60,9 million (EUR 60,9
million) in 2025 and remained flat at reported exchange rates and
decreased by 2,1% at comparable exchange rates. Sales declined in
both Sweden and Finland, continuing to be impacted by low volumes
in the consumer credit information. In Sweden, the decline in sales
continued to be driven by consumer credit information and particu-
larly lower year-over-year volumes in the loan broker segment. That
said, year-to-date trends suggest a sequential stabilization in Swedish
consumer credit information volumes, evident in both the loan broker
segment and other segments. In Finland, consumer credit information
volumes have remained relatively stable, and some smaller custom-
ers are considering returning to the market. However, the overall
operating environment remained muted also in Finland. Direct-to-
consumer service sales declined, while services sold for sales and
marketing purposes demonstrated good growth.

ally, Group addresses diverse customer requirements in sales and

Enento Group has comprehensive databases consisting of informa-
tion gathered from the authorities and other public sources as well as

for the Group’s product and service offering and the development of
new products and services. That data is processed or refined by the
Group and made available to the customers mainly through integra-
tions and online services.

concerning corporations and private individuals to advanced risk
management services, scoring, monitoring, decision-making, anal-
yses and analytics. The Group delivers its products and services to
clients for example, by integrating its services into the client’s business
processes, through customer interfaces, online subscription services
and open online services that do not require separate subscription

certificates. The Group has a strong track record of developing and
launching new products and services.
Enento Group has a scalable business model that enables increasing
net sales at a lower incremental cost. A large proportion of the Group’s
income is based on automated processes and the automatic shar-
ing of information from the Group’s own databases. The Group can
use and relay the same data multiple times and include it in several
services provided for different customers. The Group also earns
income from digital advertising, particularly in Sweden and Norway.
Enento Group’s organization consists of two types of units: business
areas and functional units. The business areas are responsible for the
Group’s service offering and the functional units for the production,
maintenance and active development of the operations in their own
focus area and business processes. The functional units are Sales,
Marketing, Communications and Customer Operations, IT and Tech-
nology, Data and Analytics, Human Resources, Legal and Finance.
The Group’s business areas are:
BUSINESS INSIGHT: Business Area develops and provides leading
business information and decision services and solutions for general
risk management, credit risk management, compliance, financial
management, customer acquisition, decision-making, fraud and
credit loss prevention as well as for gaining knowledge of and identi-
fying their customers. In addition, services in this business area include
real estate and apartment information and their valuation as well as

tion lists and politically exposed persons.

ing consumer information and decisioning services in the Nordics.
Consumer Insight serves both consumers and companies engaging
in consumer business. Companies engaging in consumer business
use consumer information, scoring, monitoring and decision services
and solutions for general risk management, credit risk management,
financial management, customer acquisition, decision-making, fraud
and credit loss prevention. Services for consumers help consumers to
understand and better manage their own finances, protecting them
also from identity theft and fraud.
FINANCIAL RESULTS
Net Sales
Enento Group’s net sales in the financial year 2025 amounted to EUR
152,7 million (EUR 150,4 million) representing a year-on-year increase
of 1,5% at reported exchange rates and remained flat compared to
prior year at comparable exchange rates. The operating environment
and business activities remained largely similar to previous financial
year. The strengthening of the Swedish krona had a positive impact on
revenue growth. Net sales from new products and services were EUR
12,3 million (EUR 23,4 million), representing 8,1% (15,6%) of the total net
sales for the financial year. The decline in share of net sales from new
services was largely driven by timing impact where some larger prod-
ucts were removed from the metric as it covers new services launched
within the past 36 months. Business Insight business area net sales
grew, whereas Consumer Insight business area net sales declined.

tors was also authorized to decide on the issuance of shares in devia
-

for such directed repurchases. The purchase price per share shall be
the market price of the shares quoted on the trading venues where the
Company’s shares are traded or at the price otherwise established on
the market terms at the time of the repurchase. The Board of Direc-
tors shall resolve on all other matters related to the repurchase of the
Company’s own shares, including on how shares will be repurchased.

The Group’s management and governance model
Suomen Asiakastieto Oy and UC AB, both subsidiaries of Enento Group
Plc, have been certified according to ISO 9001:2015 since 2015 and 2021.
In December 2023 both subsidiaries were recertified and in Decem-
ber 2025 surveillance audits were carried out at our offices in Helsinki
and Stockholm in line with our audit plan. No major non-conformities
were found, but our work to optimize our processes will continue as
part of our daily operations. The existing certification is valid until 15th
of January 2027 and we plan to do the recertification later this year in
line with the original plan.
Enento Group’s strategy 2024–2026 and
sustainability
Enento Group aims for growth and increased profitability by strength-
ening its current position and seizing new opportunities within credit
and business information services. Investing in scalable growth, digi-
talizing sales, marketing and distribution as well as leveraging Nordic
capabilities and a continued focus on cost efficiencies will enable
Enento to achieve these goals.
Enento has two main objectives for the strategy period: to retain and
strengthen its leading position in credit information, and to become a
leading provider of business information.
Sustainability is at the core of Enento’s business. The Group contributes
to sustainable society by building trust and supporting our customers
to be more sustainable, through making responsible decisions and
preventing over-indebtedness.
Environmental issues
The carbon footprint of Enento Group’s own operations is low. The
most significant environmental impact arises from business travelling,
employee commuting, external services and IT. The Group’s long-term
goal is to become Net Zero in 2030.
The Group’s largest offices are in Helsinki (headquarters) and Stock-
holm. Both are in locations with good public transport connections.
They are modern activity-based offices in which fewer heated square
meters per employee are needed. The lessors of both premises moni-
tor electricity consumption, the use of warm and cold water, district
heating, district cooling and waste management on a monthly basis.
Digital service production and data processing account for part of
the Group’s total emissions. The Group’s IT environments have mainly
been virtualized and procured as outsourced data center services
that operate energy-efficiently. Our suppliers of data center services
use renewable energy without carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.
Climate-related impacts, risks, and opportunities have been assessed
as part of the double materiality assessment. The most significant
negative impacts are primarily associated with emissions generated
and energy consumed by Enento’s operations. There are no signifi-
cant risks associated with the Group’s environmental aspects since
our emissions are proportionately very low. Emission calculations and
climate-related disclosures are published in a separate Sustainability
Review.
Social and employee-related issues
In 2025, the number of people employed by Enento Group on aver-
age was 377 FTE (full-time equivalent), of whom 167 worked in the
Finnish companies, 166 in the Swedish companies, 41 in the Norwe-
gian company and 3 in the Danish company. The overall voluntary
employee turnover of permanent employees was around 5,8% during
2025, which was a decrease from last year. This decrease demon-
strates the positive effects of the actions taken by Enento to ensure
employee satisfaction and maintain high levels of employee commit-
ment.
Our workforce diversity is well-balanced, with 53% men and 47%
women in December. This gender balance extends to our leadership
and management, where there are slightly more men than women
(62% men, 38% women). Additionally, the Executive Management
Team is well-represented by both genders, with 56% men and 44%
women.
Enento Group emphasizes learning and competence development,
collaborative culture with team spirit, the development of high-quality
leadership and people management skills and well-being of its people
in its approach to social responsibility. The Group’s goal is to be an
attractive employer that offers interesting jobs for people representing
various competence backgrounds in a collaborative and empowering
culture. Enento Group offers opportunities for all its people to develop
their expertise and skills both at work and through various learning
possibilities as well as seek new roles inside the Group within its Nordic
offices. In the recruitments, Enento Group follows a non-discriminatory
and transparent process.
The Group ensures the fulfilment of its social responsibility through fair
and safe working conditions, both mentally and physically. We follow
our Group’s values and Code of Ethics in everything we do, and our
following policies ensure the fairness of our processes: Recruitment
Policy, Remuneration Policy, Working Environment Policy and Remote
Work Policy. Enento Group respects human rights in all aspects and
there were no violations related to discrimination or other unfair
treatment during 2025. We have also updated our Diversity, Inclusion,
Equity and Belonging guidelines with clear targets.
The Group also has a whistleblowing channel to enable our employ-
ees to report any suspected violations anonymously. Enento strives to
achieve transparency and a high level of business ethics. Our employ-
ees are the most important source of insight for revealing possible
misconduct that needs to be addressed. Our whistleblowing service
offers a possibility to alert the company about suspicions of miscon-
duct in confidence. It is an important tool for reducing risks and main-

taining trust in our operations by enabling us to detect and act on
possible misconduct at an early stage.
The quality of leadership, trust, friendly work environment, clear work
objectives and competence development are the key factors influ-
encing the employees’ engagement to work and well-being at work.
Our bi-weekly pulse survey with Winningtemp continued with excellent
response rates giving teams and Enento good feedback on how to
develop our culture and ways of working in the future.
In 2025, we continued the Grow Talk process with several dialogues
during the year between manager and employee – to encourage and
support each employee to grow as a professional and to succeed
together with colleagues. Grow Talk discussions include personal
target setting, their follow-up with quality feedback, on which we
educated our managers to give as well as a dialogue on well-being
and individual development and career aspirations. The purpose of
the discussions is to create commitment and build an understanding
of how each employee contributes to the achievement of the shared
goals.
The 2023 started leadership program “We Lead Emotional Agency”
continued with a whole company program to build a shared under-
standing on the culture and way we wish to work together for the
future. This year-long program consists of self-studies, virtual
sessions together as well as a learning buddy concept. Feedback has
been excellent, and we shall continue the journey also during 2026.
We follow the quality of leadership with the Leadership Index in the
Winningtemp pulse survey and that has been at an excellent level.
Team collaboration development was also one of our topics during
2025 and with that we used Workplace Big5 tool to facilitate the work-
shops. Our Enento Academy provided learning opportunities for all
employees with, for example, renewed and mandatory GDPR train-
ing. We also curated learning opportunities on AI to all our people, a
topic that will continue in 2026. Building a learning organization with
a growth mindset continued to be a focus area throughout the year.
The well-being of our people continued to be a focus area, as the
turbulent environment around us continues to put pressure on people.
We continued the Meeting Free Wednesdays, Health Hour and Auntie’s
occupational well-being service. We had Empowered People Month
during May this year and there we focused on wellbeing and learning
in various topics such as mindfulness, nutrition, ergonomic tips, how
to deal with change, and we also had outdoor training and painting.
We also conducted Focus rules workshops for the whole company, in
total 50 workshops where we looked into meeting and digital prac-
tices to work smarter and enable us to focus better which will support
wellbeing and performance.
Ensuring information security and data
protection
Enento Group always strive to stay one step ahead in securing the
integrity and information of our customers, their customers, and the
end-users. We strive to ensure the confidentiality, availability, and
integrity of information, which is critical for our business to continue
operations and achieve our goals.
Information security is ensured through the implementation of robust
technical systems and processes designed to protect data confi-
dentiality, integrity, and availability. Enento Group has been certified
according to ISO/IEC 27001 since December 2024. A surveillance audit
was successfully done in November 2025 and no major non-confirmi
-
ties were identified. The existing certification is valid until 3rd of Febru-
ary 2028, but we will continue to conduct external audits on a yearly
basis according to our plan. This demonstrates our commitment to
maintain the highest standards of information security.
The Group processes Personal Data according to GDPR and other rele-
vant legislation including the local Data Protection legislation intro-
duced by the countries we operate in. We respect the Data Process-
ing principles confirmed in GDPR and process personal data securely
using different technical and organizational measures to ensure a
level of security appropriate to the risk.
Ensuring information security and data protection requires an orga-
nization and processes that support a purposeful and systematic
approach to these topics. Information security is governed by our
internal Information Security Policy and guidelines. All the partners
must also conform to the laws and agreements. Furthermore, the
confidentiality obligation is included in the employment agreement.
Respect of human rights
Enento Group operates in the Nordic countries, where respect for
human rights and equal treatment of people is generally at a very
high level. At Enento Group, the requirement that human rights and
equality must be respected applies to personnel and partners alike.
The Code of Ethics includes practices and procedures for dealing with
issues related to respect for human rights. There were no suspected
violations of human rights or violations related to discrimination or
other unfair treatment of employees observed in 2025.
The Group has a whistleblowing channel to enable employees to
report suspected violations anonymously.
Anti-corruption and bribery
Enento Group’s internal guidelines prohibit corruption and bribery.
The Group’s practices and procedures reduce opportunities for taking
action that would be contrary to the rules. The Ethical principles include
operational guidelines for handling issues related to corruption and
bribery. No corruption or bribery cases or other violations related to
unethical business practices were reported in 2025.

Enento Group Annual Review 2025 | 28Investor information
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Enento Group is exposed to several risks and uncertainties that are
related, for instance, to the market conditions and the Group’s indus-
try, regulation, strategy, business and financing. The realization of such
risks could have a considerable adverse effect on the Group’s busi-
ness, financial situation, performance and future outlook.
Market and strategic risks
The demand for Enento Group’s products and services depends on
the activity of the business operations of its customers. Slow economic
growth or a declining economy may result in a weakening demand for
the services of the Group. In addition, regulatory changes that reduce
the lending ability of the Group’s customers and/or impact customer
behavior may have a negative effect on the demand for the Group’s
services and products. Moreover, the Group is vulnerable to potential
structural changes in any of its operating markets, including but not
limited to shifts in the demand for consumer credit information. Such
structural changes could alter market dynamics or customer behav-
ior, potentially impacting the Group’s financial performance.
Geopolitical uncertainty, trade wars, wars and conflicts can have a
negative impact on macroeconomic development and economic
activity in the Nordic countries and globally. This decreases the
Group’s ability to predict the demand for its services and causes a risk
of weakening revenue development. The Group does not have busi-
ness in Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, Israel or in the United States.
Enento Group operates in several product and service markets in
which competition is continuously becoming tougher and customers’
needs keep changing. Information services are more easily available
than before. This is primarily attributable to better availability of public
information, increase of digital information, new service providers and
new technologies such as artificial intelligence, which may increase
competition in the markets. Better availability of information and new
technologies may also provide the Group’s customers with better
opportunities for in-house development of services, such as analysis
services.
Tendering carried out by customers and general cost-awareness may
put some pressure for lower prices on the Enento Group’s markets. In
addition, price pressures caused by the Group’s competitors or price
increases from the Group’s vendors may have a negative effect on the
Group’s margins and result and hamper its opportunities to acquire
new customers on the current terms and conditions.
No customer of the Enento Group accounted for more than ten per
cent of the Group’s total invoicing in 2025. Even though the Group’s
customer base is diverse, the loss of one or more major customers
or a significant decrease in sales to one or more such customers for
any reason could have a very harmful effect on the Group’s business,
financial position, business result and future outlook.
The gathering, storage and use of information is subject to strict regu-
lations, for example data privacy legislation. In Sweden, a license is
required for certain operations of the Group, such as credit register
related operations. In addition, according to UC’s shareholder agree-
ment, UC’s minority shareholders may veto certain decisions concern-
ing UC’s credit register and the control of credit register data. This
may restrict Enento Group’s possibilities to materially change business
operations related thereto. The Group and its employees must also
comply with numerous other laws and regulations. Changes to the
regulatory framework may require the Group to adapt its service offer-
ing or strategy. These changes can include an introduction of poten-
tial governmental credit registers. Any actions in breach of regulations
concerning operations subject to a license may lead to changing of
the Group’s operations, imposing additional conditions to the license
or cancellation of the license. The above may also lead to higher
costs, force the Group to stop providing some products or services, or
prevent or delay development of its operations, or the Group may end
up in legal proceedings or become subject to legal claims.
Enento Group has a lot of goodwill recognized on acquisitions. The
Group has also capitalized meaningful amount of investments in other
intangible assets. Impairment of goodwill and other assets could have
a material effect on the Group’s reported result.
Operational risks
Safe and uninterrupted functioning of Enento Group’s IT network and
systems, cyber security and mitigation of cyber risks, are critical for the
Group’s business. Unauthorized access to or disclosure of information
as well as loss or abuse of information may lead to a breach of data
protection and other applicable laws by the Group, harm to reputa-
tion, loss of income, claims or measures taken by the authorities. In
its business, the Group relies on information from external sources,
such as government offices and other public sources, customers and
other sources. If one or more of them stopped providing information
for any reason or considerably increased the price of the information
provided, this could have a harmful effect on the Group’s ability to
offer its products and services to its customers.
Enento Group believes that its continued success will be influenced
by its ability to meet customers’ needs through the development of
products and services that are easy to use and that seek to increase
customers’ business process efficiency, offer cost savings, and facili-
tate better business decisions. The Group’s financial result may suffer
if the development of new products or services or improvements to
existing products are delayed for reasons related to possible technical
challenges, problems related to external IT development resources,
information acquisition or regulatory requirements.
Enento Group has invested and will continue to invest in its techni-
cal infrastructure, including equipment and software. If the Group
fails in its technological investments, its income may not develop
as expected and its expenses may increase. In addition, the Group
may end up in an unfavorable competitive position in the market if it
cannot, for example, offer certain new products and services or gather
certain type of new information.

GovernanceEnento as a company
Enento Group Annual Review 2025 | 29Investor information
Despite testing and information quality control, products and services
developed and supplied by Enento Group as well as the operating
systems and software it uses may contain errors or faults. Material
defects or errors in the Group’s information, products or services as
well as delays in providing products and services may harm its repu-
tation or lead to loss of income, increased costs, regulatory measures
or legal claims. Enento Group’s IT network and infrastructure may be
exposed to damage and problems resulting from many reasons. Such
damage or problem may lead to a failure of Enento Group’s IT infra-
structure, which in turn may complicate the company’s work and lead,
for instance, to breaches of contract.
Enento Group operates in a regulated business and changes in the
applicable regulation may impact on revenue and profit. Such regu-
lation may concern, but are not limited to data protection, freedom of
speech, credit information and lending related legislation. Any govern-
mental plans to change credit information register related regulations
or potential introduction of governmental credit information registers
beyond the current regulations may change the competitive land-
scape and/or otherwise impact the Group’s business, revenue and
profit. Also, the failure to comply with regulations could have legal
consequences and cause reputational harm.
Enento Group’s brands and reputation are important competitive
advantages. The Group’s success is also based on its own technol-
ogies, processes, methods and information. The Group protects its
intellectual rights with trademarks and domain names, for instance,
and by relying on business secrets and the development of products
and technology. Failure to protect intellectual rights, damage to repu-
tation or negative views of the company in the market may have a
negative effect on the Group.
Enento Group’s success also depends on its management and other
professional personnel as well as its ability to recruit competent
personnel and develop, train and retain them. The Group’s inability to
retain or recruit new employees may have a material harmful effect
on the Group.
Disproportionately high sickness absences and especially long sick
leave for key personnel pose a risk to the development of the Enento
Group’s business. In information work, the most significant health
hazards consist of inadequate work ergonomics and stress caused
by work pressure. A good working atmosphere and high-quality
management, as well as early intervention in problem areas, prevent
the need for sick leaves.
Enento Group has taken out insurances to cover various risks or loss
events. The Group’s insurance coverage may be insufficient, or the
Group may not be able to maintain its current insurance coverage, in
which case the company may suffer losses not covered by its insur-
ances.
Enento Group is exposed to various financing risks, including currency
exposure, interest rate risk, liquidity risk and solvency risk which can
have an impact on the Group’s financial performance. The Group’s
financing risks and their management are described in note 4 in Notes
to the consolidated financial statements.
Intangible resources
The company’s key intangible resources include the brand and repu-
tation built up over the years, skilled and competent employees, and
strategic partnerships with key customers. These resources enable the
preservation of competitive advantage and are a central part of the
company’s long term growth strategy.
FINANCIAL TARGETS, DIVIDENDS AND
OUTLOOK
Financial targets
The Board of Directors of Enento Group has adopted long-term finan-
cial targets and dividend policy for the Group. The long-term financial
targets are:
An annual average net sales growth of 5-10%
Adjusted EBITDA margin around 40%
Net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio below 3x
Share of new services from net sales around 10%
Dividend Policy
The Company’s dividend policy is to distribute as dividends at least
70 per cent of the Company’s net profit, whilst taking into consider-
ation the business development and investment needs of the Group.
Any dividends to be paid in future years, their amount and the time
of payment will depend on Enento Group’s future earnings, financial
condition, cash flows, investment needs, solvency and other factors.
Enento Group distributed funds to its shareholders totalling EUR
23 669 290 for the financial year 2025 and EUR 23 692 722 for the finan
-
cial year 2024. The dividend was EUR 1,00 per share for the financial
year 2025 and EUR 1,00 per share for the financial year 2024.
Pursuant to the Companies Act, the Annual General Meeting of Share-
holders resolves on the distribution dividend based on the Board of
Directors’ proposal. Dividends can only be distributed once the Annual
General Meeting of Shareholders has approved the financial state-
ments. If dividends are distributed, all shares confer equal rights to
dividends.

Enento Group Annual Review 2025 | 30Investor information
Proposal for the Distribution of Funds
At the end of the financial year 2025, distributable funds of the Group’s
parent company amounted to EUR 392 939 271,61, of which the profit
for the financial year was EUR 20 551 608,80. The Board of Directors
proposes that a dividend of EUR 0,50 per share be paid for the finan-
cial year ended 31 December 2025 (totaling EUR 11 834 645,00 based
on the Group’s registered total number of shares at the time of the
proposal, notwithstanding shares held in treasury). The dividend will
be paid to a shareholder registered in the Group’s shareholders’ regis-
ter held by Euroclear Finland Oy on the payment record date of 30
March 2026. The Board of Directors proposes that the funds be paid
on 15 April 2026.
The Board of Directors further proposes that the Annual General Meet-
ing authorizes the Board, at its discretion, to resolve on the further
distribution of dividend up to a maximum of EUR 0,50 per share (total-
ing EUR 11 834 645,00 based on the Company’s registered total number
of shares at the time of the proposal, notwithstanding shares held
in treasury). It is the intention of the Board of Directors that the divi-
dend payment pursuant to this authorization would be carried out
in November 2026. The Company will separately publish resolutions
of the Board of Directors on the dividend payment and confirm the
record and payment dates in connection with such resolutions. The
Board may also decide not to use this authorization.
Future outlook and guidance
Macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties are expected to persist
into 2026. The Swedish regulatory environment, especially recent and
upcoming changes affecting loan brokers, continue to present risks for
Enento. Despite these challenges, our business volumes stabilized in
2025, and we anticipate a return to a growth trajectory in 2026. There
are encouraging signs of a gradually improving macroeconomic
landscape in Sweden, while the development in Finland is expected
to remain more modest. We expect a stable demand for mortgage
and unsecured loans and continued healthy demand for business
information services.
Enento is focused on improving Adjusted EBITDA and strengthening
free cash flow through disciplined cost control, while simultaneously
investing in future competitiveness and growth opportunities.
Enento Group expects that in 2026, with comparable exchange rates,
its net sales will grow by 0-5% and Adjusted EBITDA will increase
compared to 2025.

Alternative performance measures used in
financial reporting
Enento Group Plc discloses a summary on the use of alternative perfor-
mance measures used by the Group, definitions of the performance
measures used and their matching with the IFRS financial statements
figures in accordance with the ESMA (European Securities and Markets
Authority) Guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures
1
.
Enento Group Plc presents alternative performance measures as
additional information for key performance measures in the consol-
idated statements of income, financial position and cash flows
prepared according to IFRS to reflect the financial development of
its business operations and to enhance comparability from period
to period. According to the management’s view, alternative perfor-
mance measures provide substantial supplemental information on
the result of the Group’s operations, financial position and cash flows
to the management and investors, securities analysts and other
parties. Alternative performance measures are not, as such, included
in the consolidated financial statements prepared according to IFRS,
but they are derived from the IFRS consolidated financial statements
by adjusting items in the consolidated statements of income, finan-
cial position and cash flows and/or by proportioning them to each
other. Alternative performance measures should not be considered as
a substitute for measures in accordance with IFRS. Not all companies
calculate alternative performance measures in a uniform way, and
thus the alternative performance measures of the Company are not
necessarily comparable with similarly named performance measures
of other companies.
Certain non-operational or non-cash valuation transactions with
significant income statement impact are adjusted as items affecting
comparability, if they arise from:
efficiency program
M&A and integration-related expenses
restructuring expenses, including expenses arising from
redundancy and other costs directly associated with the
operational efficiency program
external expenses arising from significant regulatory changes
compensation for damages
legal actions
1
Alternative Performance Measure refers to a financial measure other than financial
measure defined or specified in IFRS norms.
Alternative performance measures are defined as follows:
EBITDA
EBITDA is the profit (loss) for the financial year before (i) income
taxes, (ii) financial income and expenditure and (iii) depreciation
and amortization.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA excluding items affecting
comparability.
Adjusted EBIT
Adjusted EBIT is defined as EBIT excluding items affecting
comparability and amortization from fair value adjustments
related to acquisitions.
Net sales of new products and services
Net sales of new products and services include the total sales
of products launched during the past 36 months. New products
and services are a significant driver of growth in the company
and consumer data market. The impact of new products and
services is especially important in times of poor economy,
because they dilute the impact of the poor economic situation
on the demand for current products and services. New products
and services replace or update old products and services.
They are often more advanced than old products and services,
or they respond to potential market demand. In addition to
customer needs, the development of new products and services
is also guided by opportunities recognized by service providers.
According to the Company’s view, company and consumer data
markets in its countries of operation are somewhat immature
compared to many European countries, and there is potential for
new products and services in the market.
Free cash flow
Free cash flow consists of the cash flow from operating activities
before (i) paid interests and other financing expenses, (ii)
received interests and other financing income deducted by (iii)
acquisitions of tangible and intangible assets.
Adjusted free cash flow
Adjusted free cash flow is defined as free cash flow excluding
items affecting comparability paid.
Cash conversion
Cash conversion is calculated by dividing free cash flow by
EBITDA.
Adjusted cash conversion
Adjusted cash conversion is calculated by dividing adjusted free
cash flow by adjusted EBITDA.
Net debt
Net debt is calculated as difference of interest-bearing liabilities
and cash and cash equivalents. Interest-bearing liabilities
include loans from financial institutions (short- and long-term
loans) and lease liabilities, and cash and cash equivalents
include short-term deposits, cash assets and bank accounts.
Net debt to adjusted EBITDA
Net debt to adjusted EBITDA is calculated by dividing net debt by
adjusted EBITDA.
Return on equity
Return on equity is calculated by dividing (i) profit (loss) for the
financial year by (ii) total equity (average for the financial year).
Return on capital employed
Return on capital employed is calculated (i) by adding financial
expenses to the profit (loss) before taxes and (ii) by dividing
the sum by the average of the difference of the balance sheet
total and non-interest-bearing debts of the opening and closing
balance sheet.
Gearing
Gearing is calculated by dividing net debt by total equity.
Equity ratio
Equity ratio is calculated by dividing (i) total equity by (ii)
balance sheet total, deducted by advances received.

1 BASIS OF PREPARATION
1.1 General information
Enento Group Plc (“the Company”) is a Finnish public limited liabil-
ity company and the parent company to Enento Group (“Enento
Group” or “the Group”). The registered address of Enento Group Plc is
Elielinaukio 5 B, 00100 Helsinki, Finland.
Enento Group is one of the leading Nordic providers of business and
consumer information services. The Group operates in the business
and consumer information services, collateral valuation, real estate
information, sales and marketing information as well as consumer
credit information markets in Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark.
Enento Group offers a comprehensive array of products and services
that cater to a broad spectrum of needs in various sectors. The Group
primarily focuses on financial and credit risk management, providing
solutions for monitoring, decision-making, and automation. Addition-
ally, Group addresses diverse customer requirements in sales and
marketing, compliance, real estate and financing, collateral manage-
ment, housing valuation, as well as personal financial management
and credit information. Enento’s clientele is diverse, encompassing
financial institutions, financial service providers, professional services
firms, insurance companies, as well as wholesale and retail compa-
nies. The Group also serves individual consumers.
Enento Group has comprehensive databases consisting of informa-
tion gathered from the authorities and other public sources as well as
privately acquired information. The data and databases are the basis
for the Group’s product and service offering and the development of
new products and services. That data is processed or refined by the
Group and made available to the customers mainly through integra-
tions and online services.
Group’s product and service offering ranges from basic information
concerning corporations and private individuals to advanced risk
management services, scoring, monitoring, decision-making, anal-
yses, analytics and sales and marketing services. The Group deliv-
ers its products and services to clients for example, by integrating its
services into the client’s business processes, through customer inter-
faces, online subscription services and open online services that do
not require separate subscription agreements. The Group also offers
printed products and credit rating certificates. The Group has a strong
track record of developing and launching new products and services.
Enento Group has a scalable business model that makes it possible
to increase net sales at lower incremental cost. A large proportion of
the Group’s income is based on automated processes and the auto-
matic sharing of information from the Group’s own databases. The
Group can use and relay the same data multiple times and include
it in several services provided for different customers. The Group also
earns income from advertising, particularly in Sweden and Norway.
The Board of Directors of Enento Group Plc has approved these consol-
idated financial statements for publication on 13 February 2026. Under
the Finnish Limited Liability Companies Act, shareholders can approve
or reject the consolidated financial statements in the Annual General
Meeting held after the release. The Annual General Meeting is also
entitled to amend the consolidated financial statements.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of
euros unless otherwise stated. Amounts presented in the consolidated
financial statements are rounded, so the sum of individual figures may
differ from the sum reported.
Enento Group publishes in addition to the audited group consolidated
financial statement in PDF-format also the ESEF (European Single Elec-
tronic Format) financial statement in xHTML-format. The ESEF financial
statement has been audited.
1.2 New standards and interpretations and
changes in accounting policies
The consolidated financial statements of Enento Group have been
prepared in accordance with the IFRS Accounting Standards as
adopted by the European Union, observing the IFRS Accounting Stan-
dards, amendments and interpretations applicable as per 31 Decem-
ber 2025.
Enento Group has adopted the new IFRS Accounting Standards and
interpretations that took effect during the accounting period and that
are relevant to its operations. The IFRS Accounting Standards and
amendments thereto that took effect in 2025 did not have material
impact on the income statement or the financial position of the Group
or on the presentation of the financial statements.
The new IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
will be applied from January 1, 2027, replacing the IAS 1 Presentation
of Financial Statements. The Group assesses that the adoption of
IFRS 18 will not affect the Group’s reported results or financial posi-
tion, but it will change the presentation of the statement of profit or
loss and the statement of cash flows so that line items are presented
Financial Statements
Board of Directors’ Report
GovernanceEnento as a company
Enento Group Annual Review 2025 | 45Investor information
in accordance with the new mandatory categories. In addition, the
new standard brings the requirement to present new subtotals and
will increase disclosure requirements. The Group has commenced
preparations for the adoption of IFRS 18 and will present the compar-
ative 2026 statement of profit or loss and notes in accordance with
the standard.
1.3 Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the Parent company
Enento Group and all subsidiaries over which Enento Group has control.
Enento Group controls the entity when it has directly or indirectly more
than one half of the voting rights or when Enento Group has otherwise
in control of the company. Control exists when the Enento Group has
rights to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary and
can affect those returns through its power over the subsidiary. The
mutual owning of shares of the Group companies is eliminated by
acquisition method.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is
achieved until the date on which control ceases by using the acqui-
sition method. Intercompany transactions, receivables and liabilities
as well as unrealized gains and losses on transactions between group
companies are eliminated. When needed, the financial statements by
subsidiaries have been adjusted to comply with the Group´s account-
ing policies.
Associated companies are companies where Enento Group has signif-
icant influence but does not have control and they are accounted for
using the equity method.
1.4 Foreign currency translation
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).
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional
currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of
such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year-end exchange
rates are generally recognized in profit or loss unless they are allo-
cated as net investment hedge. In such a case, the effective portion
of exchange rate differences are recognized in other comprehensive
income and accumulated into translation differences in equity. For
more information related to the net investment hedge, see note 4.1
Financial risk management.
The results and financial position of foreign operations that have a
functional currency different from the presentation currency of the
Group have been translated into the presentation currency of the
Group, euro. Assets and liabilities on the statement of financial posi-
tion have been translated using the closing rate and income and
expenses have been translated using the average exchange rate of
the reporting period. Conversion of the profit for the financial year
using different exchange rates for the income statement and balance
sheet causes a translation difference in the balance sheet recognized
in equity. Changes in translation difference are recognized in other
comprehensive income.
1.5 Segment reporting
The Group constitutes a single operating segment, which is consistent
with the way internal reporting is provided to the chief operating deci-
sion-maker and the way chief operating decision-maker determines
allocation of resources and assessment of performance.
The CEO has been determined as the chief operating decision-maker.
The CEO is responsible for resource allocation, evaluating the Group’s
result as well as strategic and operational decision-making.
1.6 Operating profit (EBIT)
IAS Standard 1 Presentation of Financial Statements does not define
operating profit. The Group has defined the concept as follows: oper-
ating profit is the net total which is formed when other operating
income is added to net sales and the following items are detracted:
the cost of materials and services, personnel expenses, other operat-
ing expenses, the cost adjustment of work performed by the entity and
capitalized, depreciation, amortization and potential impairment loss
excluding impairment losses relating shares of associated compa-
nies. All other items of the income statement are presented below the
operating profit line.
1.7 Critical accounting estimates and
judgements
The management of Enento Group makes estimates and assump-
tions concerning the future as well as exercises judgement in applying
the accounting principles when preparing financial statements. Esti-
mates and judgements are continually evaluated, and they are based
on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of
future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circum-
stances. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom
equal the related actual results. For Enento Group, the estimates and
assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjust-
ment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next
financial year are defining cash-generating units, allocating good-
will and assumptions used in goodwill testing (note 3.2), business
combinations (note 5.3), accounting for the shareholder agreement
(note 5.3), capitalized development expenses (note 3.2) and impair-
ment testing of shares in associated companies (note 5.4). The critical
accounting estimates and judgements are presented in connection
with these notes.

2 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
2.1 Net sales
Accounting principles: Revenue recognition
Enento Group provides information services. The majority of
revenue is transaction-based, generated from the delivery of
individual pieces or bundles of credit, business and market
information. The information is collected by the Group from
several data sources, e.g. its customers, trade registers, popula-
tion registers and real estate registers, processed or refined by
the Group and made available to the customers mainly through
integrations and online services.
The major sales transactions are derived from the following
business areas and performance obligations:
BUSINESS INSIGHT:
Various businesses use information and decision services and
solutions for general risk management, credit risk manage-
ment, compliance, financial management, customer acquisi-
tion, decision-making, fraud and credit loss prevention as well
as for gaining knowledge of and identifying their customers. In
addition, services in this business area include real estate and
apartment information and information about apartments
and their valuation as well as solutions that allow customers
to automate their collateral management processes and digi-
tize the management of apartment purchases. The services are
also used for compliance purposes, such as to identify compa-
nies´ beneficial owners, persons in sanction lists and politically
exposed persons.
Business Insight Enterprise business line is responsible for
service offering and service development for the strategic and
large customers in the key customer verticals. The revenue
stream includes four main types of performance obligations:
reporting services (transactions), customised service pack-
ages for online services and customer-specific projects and
customer management services.
Reporting services (transactions) are information services typi-
cally delivered as reports, bundles of information or individual
pieces of information when the customer places an order. Order
and delivery are usually performed simultaneously. Regardless
of the physical form of a report that Enento Group delivers to a
customer, Enento Group considers that the nature of its perfor-
mance is a service as a report consists of information that is
valid only at the time it is extracted/issued. Revenue is recog-
nized at the point in time when the performance obligation is
satisfied by the delivery of information.
Customised service packages include, in practice, an unlimited
number of transactions of predetermined information services
for the contract period delivered to the customer whenever
needed. The services in the customised packages are substan-
tially the same and have the same pattern of transfer to the
customer. The agreements include fixed charges, i.e. minimum
charges irrespective of the customer’s actual use of the enqui-
ry-based services. Enento Group has concluded that it provides
a series of distinct services (i.e. stand ready to deliver). There-
fore, a customised service package contract includes one
performance obligation that is recognized as revenue over
time on a straight-line basis. Orders outside the service pack-
age, if any, are separate performance obligations. If a customer
orders additional reports or information, the promises in addi-
tional orders are distinct performance obligations with stand-
alone selling prices and are recognized as revenue as separate
contracts.
Enento Group also provides customer-specific projects. The
scope of work is defined on a contract-by-contract basis. These
contracts may include several deliverables such as differ-
ent types of formulas to calculate the credit rating of private
customers for consumer credit or mortgage loans. Each of the
deliverables is a distinct performance obligation. Contracts for
customer projects are analysed separately to conclude whether
revenue is recognized over time or at a point in time due to
customised contract terms. Projects may include subsequent
services linked to the formula, such as input data for the formu-
las or support services. Revenue from services provided after
the customer project – i.e. support and maintenance services
for the formulas created in the customer project – is recognized
over time.
Customer management services help sales and marketing
professionals improve the efficiency of their work and boost
customer management by providing target group tools, services
for surveying potential customers, register updates and main-
tenance, as well as various target group extractions. Perfor-
mance obligations related to Customer management services
are each of the services provided, e.g. a service for receiving
alerts about changed information concerning selected entities
or a service that enables the customer to perform searches of
entities based on selected criteria, such as location or line of
business. Revenue from these services is recognized over time
on a straight-line basis. If a customer orders additional reports
or information, the commitments associated with the addi-
tional orders are distinct performance obligations with stand-
alone selling prices and are recognized as revenue as separate
contracts.
Business Insight Premium Solutions business line provides
business information services for the needs of SMEs. This area
consists of digital services for small and micro companies with
easy-to-use applications and user interfaces for the evalua-
tion of risks and sales potential, acquisition of other relevant
information on customers and business partners and proof of
own creditworthiness. The revenue stream includes three types
of performance obligations: certificates and analysis (transac-
tions), standardized service packages for online services and
corporate and governmental reports.

Revenue from sales is recognized when control transfers to the
customer at the point in time when the ordered certificate or
analysis is delivered to the customer. The performance obliga-
tion is the deliverable provided, e.g. analysis of an entity’s credit
rating or a certificate of an entity’s payment behaviour, each of
which is a distinct performance obligation.
Standardised service packages for online services include
an unlimited number of predetermined information services
provided whenever needed during the contract period. The
services in the standardised packages are substantially the
same and have the same pattern of transfer to the customer.
Enento Group has determined that it provides a series of distinct
services (i.e. stand ready to deliver) which are accounted for
as one performance obligation. Revenue from standardised
service packages is recognized over time on a straight-line-
basis. Orders outside the service package, if any, are separate
performance obligations and recognized as revenue at the
point in time when the service is performed and delivered to
the customer.
Enento Group sells corporate and governmental reports with
market industry information and regional reports published for
periods of three or four months. The revenue is invoiced and
recognized at the point in time of publication and delivery of
each report.
Business Insight Freemium Solutions business line develops
freemium-model business information websites in all Nordic
markets. Enento Group provides advertising services by provid-
ing advertisement space on its websites. The performance obli-
gation is to publish the advertisement on the Group’s webpages
during the contract period, and the revenue is recognized over
time on a straight-line basis during the advertisement period.
Business Insight Real Estate and Collateral Info Solutions
business line provides real estate and apartment information
services as well as information about apartments and their
valuation. The revenue stream includes two types of perfor-
mance packages which are online services (transactions) and
service packages.
The online services are reports, bundles of information or indi-
vidual pieces of information and the revenue is recognized
similarly - at the point of time when the information has been
delivered - as for the Reporting services (transactions) that is
explained above in connection with Business Insight Enterprise
business line.
For service packages, each of the services provided is a perfor-
mance obligation, e.g. a drafting service, property valuation
service or digitized apartment sales process. The drafting
service provides tools for effectively using the public authorities’
e-services, such as contract templates. Revenue from these
services is recognized over time on a straight-line basis.
Business Insight Compliance Solutions business line provides
customers with compliance risk management related services,
in relation to company owner information, politically exposed
persons and sanctions. The revenue stream includes two types
of performance packages which are online services (transac-
tions) and service packages.
The online services are reports, bundles of information or indi-
vidual pieces of information and the revenue is recognized
similarly - at the point of time when the information has been
delivered - as for the Reporting services (transactions) that is

business line.
For service packages, each of the services provided is a perfor-
mance obligation. Revenue from these services is recognized

CONSUMER INSIGHT:
The business area develops and produces leading consumer
information and decision-making services in the Nordic
markets. Companies engaging in consumer business use
consumer information, scoring, monitoring and decision
services and solutions for general risk management, credit risk
management, financial management, customer acquisition,
decision-making, fraud and credit loss prevention. Services for
consumers help consumers to understand and better manage
their own finances, protecting them also from identity theft and
fraud.
Consumer Insight Credit Information business line provides
decision services and solutions for general risk management,
credit risk management, decision-making, fraud and credit loss
prevention. The revenue stream includes three main types of
performance obligations which are reporting services (trans-
actions), customised service packages and customer-specific

detail above in connection with Business Insight Enterprise busi-
ness line.
Consumer Insight Consumer Marketing Information business
line provides services to help sales and marketing profession-
als improve the efficiency of their work and boost customer
management by providing target group tools, services for

Enento Group Annual Review 2025 | 48Investor information
Consumer Insight Direct-to-Consumer business line services
are mainly ID security and blocking services that notify custom-
ers immediately if their credit information is queried or changed.
Services also include providing access to a person’s own credit
information. These services are delivered continuously over time
and recognized as revenue over time on a straight-line basis.
INVOICING, PAYMENT TERMS, CONTRACT ASSETS AND
LIABILITIES
Private customers and entities ordering one-off analyses and
certificates through the Group’s online services are typically
charged directly through the customers’ credit cards on the
website when the order is placed. The corresponding service
is provided immediately or within days of the payment. The
majority of corporate customers are invoiced as services have
been transferred to the customer or on a monthly basis. Typi-
cal payment terms are 14–30 days. The Group also provides
some continuous services with a fee invoiced yearly, twice a
year, quarterly or monthly, which indicate that the transaction
price includes financing component. As the Group applies the
practical expedient for significant financing components, the
Group does not adjust transaction prices for the effects of the
time value of money when it expects that the period between
transferring the promised good or service to a customer and
the customer paying for that good or service will be one year
or less. Customer-specific projects have milestone payments
but the timing differences between payments and revenue
recognition do not typically exceed one year. Due to annual fees
and milestone payments related to projects, the recognition of
contract assets or liabilities depends on the timing of invoicing.
The annual fees and milestone payments are invoiced either
in advance, during the contract period or after providing the
service. A contract asset is recognized if a fee is not invoiced
as the services are provided. Contract assets are transferred to
accounts receivable when the underlying services have been
invoiced. Contract liabilities, i.e. advances received, are recog-
nized if payment is received prior to providing the underlying
services. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue when the
underlying services have been provided.
PRINCIPAL OR AGENT
Enento Group’s revenue is generated from the sale of credit,
business and market information that is collected by the Group
from several data sources, e.g. its customers, the trade regis-
ter, the population register and the real estate register. The
vast majority of the information is processed or refined by the
Group and stored in the Group’s databases. The management
has analysed whether Enento Group acts as a principal or as
an agent related to the information sold. For the majority of the
information sold to customers, the Group takes control over
the information collected, has discretion in establishing selling
prices and has the primary responsibility for the information
provided. Therefore, the management has concluded that the
Group acts as a principal in most of its information services. The
Group also provides its customers with official reports derived
from registers maintained by the authorities at the customer’s
request. The official reports are forwarded as is to customers
as PDF files with no data input or modification by Enento Group,
and pricing is set by the authority in question. Enento Group has
concluded that it does not have control over the official reports
and acts as an agent in the arrangement and recognizes reve-
nue from the official reports as net amounts.
FIXED ACCESS FEES
The Group’s management has exercised judgement with regard
to online services contracts that include a fixed access fee that
do not transfer a promised good or service to the customer.
These fixed access fees are advance payments for reporting
services (transactions) and should be recognized on the basis
of the satisfaction of the underlying performance obligation, i.e.
allocated to each piece of delivered information. Instead, these
fixed fees have been recognized as revenue in a linear fash-
ion over the term of the contract for the sake of clarity. As the
volume of delivered online services (transactions) under these
contracts does not vary significantly during the year, the recog-
nition of revenue over time has been judged to be reasonable
by the management.
PENALTIES
Enento Group recognizes as revenue the transaction price to
which Enento Group expects to be entitled in exchange for trans-
ferring goods and services to the customer. Amounts collected
on behalf of third parties, e.g. value added taxes, are excluded.
Some of the Group’s contracts include service level agreements
(SLA) that include penalties to be paid if the provided services
are not in accordance with the agreed service level. As penal-
ties have not been significant in the past, the management has
concluded that even though the contracts include a variable
consideration, it is highly unlikely that a significant reversal of
revenue will occur in the future. Therefore, penalties have not
been deducted from the transaction price. Telephone sales to
small and micro companies have resulted in reversals of reve-
nue in the past. The time between the issue of invoice and the
issue of credit note is on average two months. Based on histor-
ical data, and in the absence of indicators that future reversal
rate should change, the Group has adjusted transaction prices
for the last two months’ telephone sales.
CONTRACT COSTS
Enento Group pays sales commissions to external and internal
salespersons when obtaining a contract. Sales commissions
are activated as assets and amortized on a straight-line basis
that is consistent with the pattern of the transfer of the services
to the client, usually over one year. Sales commission assets
are presented under current prepaid expenses and accrued
income in the statement of financial position.

2.5 Income tax expenses
Accounting principles: Income tax
The tax expense for the period includes taxes of subsidiar-
ies based on taxable income for the period, together with tax
adjustments from previous periods and changes in deferred
taxes.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the
tax laws of the subsidiaries operating countries, that have been
enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.
Accounting principles: Deferred tax assets and
liabilities
Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences arising
between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carry-
ing amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred
tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been
enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date
and are expected to apply when the related deferred income
tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it
is probable that future taxable profit will be available against
which the temporary differences can be utilized and up to the
amount of the deferred tax liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a
legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against
current tax liabilities and when the deferred income tax assets
and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation
authority.

2.6 Earnings per share
Accounting principles: Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit
attributable to owners of the parent company by the weighted
average number of outstanding shares during the year. Diluted
earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted
average number of shares by the effect of potential diluting
shares due to Group’s management’s long-term incentive plan.

3 ACQUISITIONS, CAPITAL EXPENDITURE
AND NET WORKING CAPITAL
3.1 Acquisitions
Critical accounting estimates and judgements:
Business combinations
Net assets acquired in business combinations are measured
at fair value. The measurement of the fair value of the acquired
net assets is based on market values of similar assets or esti-
mates of expected cash flows (e.g. intangible assets such as
customer relationships, technology, marketing and trade-
marks). The management of Enento Group has exercised judge-
ment and made assumptions in determining the fair values of
the acquired intangible assets that are based on assumptions
and estimates on expected long-term development of net sales
and profitability, useful lives of the assets and discount rates.
The management believes that the estimates and assumptions
used are sufficiently reliable for determining fair values.
Enento Group has had no acquisitions during the financial period.
3.2 Goodwill and intangible assets
Accounting principles: Goodwill
Acquisitions are accounted for using the acquisition method.
Goodwill is calculated as the excess of acquisition cost over the
fair values of identified assets and liabilities acquired. Good-
will typically represents the value of the acquired market share,
business knowledge and the synergies obtained in connection
with the acquisition. The carrying amount of goodwill is not
amortized but is tested for impairment.
Accounting principles: Goodwill impairment testing
Goodwill impairment review is undertaken annually or more
frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate a
potential impairment. The carrying value of the cash generating
unit is compared to the recoverable amount, which is the higher
of the value in use and the fair value less costs of disposal of the
related cash generating unit. Any impairment loss of goodwill is
recognized immediately as an expense and is not subsequently
reversed.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements:
Defining cash-generating units, allocating goodwill
and assumptions used in goodwill testing
The management of Enento Group has exercised judge-
ment in defining the cash-generating units and the alloca-
tion of goodwill to those units. Based on the judgement, the
Group’s management has determined that goodwill is allo-
cated for goodwill impairment testing purposes to the follow-
ing cash-generating units: Finland, Sweden, and Norway and
Denmark. The recoverable amounts of the Group’s cash-gen-
erating units have been determined based on value-in-use
calculations which require the use of estimates including
projected future cash flows, estimates of discount rate and the
economic development of the Group’s operating countries.
Enento Group tests the carrying value of goodwill annually or
more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate
that such carrying value may not be recoverable.
GOODWILL IMPAIRMENT TESTING
The management monitors business performance at Group level. The
Group has three cash-generating units – Finland, Sweden, and Norway
and Denmark. The Group monitors goodwill at these levels. The recov-
erable amounts of the company’s cash generating units are based on
value in use calculations. These calculations use cash flow forecasts
for four years, based on forecasts approved by the management and
determined before tax.
Key parameters affecting the forecasts are the development of net
sales and the most important expense items. The forecasts take into
account the Group’s market position in its market areas, the general
economic environment and the realized development of the Group’s
cash generating units in the most important parameters affecting the
forecasts. The average annual growths included in the forecasts do
not exceed the Group’s long-term goals in the forecast period. Cash
flows beyond the five-year period are extrapolated using the esti-
mated long-term growth rates presented below.

The discount rates used are pre-tax and reflect specific risks relat-
ing to the CGU. The discount rates are based on the risk-free interest
rates, risk factors (beta coefficient) and market risk premiums avail-
able on financial markets.
As part of the performance review the management has performed a
sensitivity analysis around the key parameters. The sensitivity analysis
covers the impairment tests of all cash-generating units (CGU). The
impairment test for the Swedish CGU has proven to be the most sensi-
tive to changes in the assumptions used. In 2025, revenue in Sweden
was EUR 69,3 million. During the forecast period, which extends to 2028,
the revenue growth is estimated to be between 4-10% per annum.
By the end of the forecast period, the EBITDA margin is expected to
increase from the level realised in 2025. An impairment would arise
if any of the following scenarios occurred: forecast period including
terminal the EBITDA margin fell by more than 7,1 percentage points,
the growth rate declined -1,9 percentage points compared to forecast
figures or the pre-tax discount rate exceeded 15,0%.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets consist primarily of capitalized development costs
related to new products and services as well as IT systems, off the shelf
software and intangible assets recognized separately from goodwill in
connection with the company acquisitions.
Accounting principles: Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired in connection with company acqui-
sitions are recognized separate from goodwill if they meet a
definition of intangible asset and are separable or are based
on agreements or legal rights. Intangible assets recognized in
connection with acquisitions consist of, among other things,
the value of customer agreements and related customer rela-
tions, the value of acquired IT systems, databases and technol-
ogy as well as the value of trademarks. The value of customer
agreements and customer relations is defined by the assumed
length of customer relationship and on the basis of cash flows
assessed.
Development costs of new products and services that are
directly attributable to building and testing of new products and
services controlled by Enento Group are recognized as intangi-
ble assets when it is probable that the development will gener-
ate future economic benefits for the Group, and certain criteria
related to commercial and technological feasibility are met.
Directly attributable costs that are capitalized as part of the
product include the software development employee costs
and an appropriate portion of relevant overheads. The capi-
talized costs are presented in the consolidated income state-
ment under “Work performed by the entity and capitalized”.
Other development expenditures that do not meet these criteria
are recognized as an expense as incurred. Development costs
previously recognized as an expense are not recognized as an
asset in a subsequent period.
Amortizations are calculated along straight-line method over
their useful economic lives. The applied useful economic lives
are:
Capitalized development costs ................................................5–10 years
Off the shelf software ..........................................................................3–5 years
Customer and contract database ......................................... 3–20 years
IT systems, databases and technology ............................... 3–12 years
Trademarks ..............................................................................................5–15 years
Critical accounting estimates and judgements:
Capitalized development expenses
Costs incurred in the development phase of an internal project
are capitalized as intangible assets if a number of criteria are
met. The management has made judgements and assump-
tions when assessing whether a project meets these criteria,
and on measuring the costs and the economic life as well as
the future cash inflows generated by the development projects.
Expected returns from capitalized development projects involve
estimates and judgement from the management about the
future net sales and related costs. These estimates involve risks
and uncertainties, and it is possible that, following changes in
circumstances, expected returns from capitalized development
projects change.
Enento Group assesses indications of impairment for capital-
ized development projects. The value for capitalized develop-
ment projects may decrease, if the expected returns from new
services change.
Accounting principles: Impairment of intangible
assets
Assets that are subject to amortization are reviewed for impair-
ment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impair-
ment loss is recognized as an expense for the amount by which
the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.
The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value
less costs of disposal and value in use. Prior impairments of
intangible assets are reviewed for possible reversal at each
reporting date.

3.3 Tangible assets and Right-of-use assets
Enento Group’s property, plant and equipment comprise machinery
and equipment, other tangible assets and advances paid. Machinery
and equipment comprise mainly IT, office machines and equipment.
Other tangible assets comprise mainly capitalized modernization and
renovation expenses of office premises.
Enento Group leases office premises, IT equipment and cars. Lease
agreements are usually made for a fixed time period ranging from
one year to five years.
Accounting principles: Tangible assets and Right-
of-use assets
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumu-
lated depreciation and any impairment losses, when applica-
ble.
Depreciation on tangible assets is calculated using the straight-
line method to allocate their cost amounts to their residual
values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
Machinery and equipment ........................................................... 3–10 years
Capitalized modernization and renovation expenses
of office premises ................................................................................5–10 years
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and
adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.
If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable
amount, an impairment loss equal to the difference is recog-
nized in profit or loss.
RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS
Right-of-use (lease) assets are depreciated using straight-line
method over the shorter of the asset’s useful life or the lease
term on a straight-line basis. The useful lives are as follows:
Premises ........................................................................................................ 1–5 years
Machinery and equipment ..............................................................1–5 years
For more information on leases, see note 4.4.

3.4 Accounts receivable and other receivables
Accounts receivable are amounts due from customers for goods sold
or services performed in the ordinary course of business. These receiv-
ables are usually due within 14 to 30 days.
Accounting principles: Accounts receivable
The Group applies the simplified impairment model for
accounts receivable according to which the Group recognizes
expected credit losses since the initial recognition of the receiv-
able for the whole amount of expected credit losses during the
receivables’ lifetime. To measure the expected credit losses,
the account receivables have been grouped based on shared
credit risk characteristics and the days past due.
Account receivables and contract assets are finally derecog-
nized when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery.
Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery
include, amongst others, potential bankruptcy of the debtor or
inability to prepare a payment plan with the Group and delay
of the contractual payments for more than a year. Changes in
credit loss allowances are recognized under cost and expenses
in the consolidated statement of income.

4 CAPITAL STRUCTURE
4.1 Financial risk management
Enento Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: inter-
est rate risk, currency risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s
overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability
of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects
on the Group’s financial position and performance.
Risk management is carried out by the Group’s finance function under
policies approved by the Board of Directors. The Board provides princi-
ples for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific
areas, such as, interest rate risk, use of derivative financial instruments,
and investment of excess liquidity.
INTEREST RATE RISK
Enento Group’s interest rate risk arises mainly from its loans from
financial institutions amounting to EUR 149,8 million (EUR 146,2 million)
on 31 December 2025 and which were issued with variable rates.
Financial liabilities issued at variable interest rates expose the Group’s
cash flow to interest rate risk. The rise in interest rates may affect the
cost of available financing and the Group’s current financing costs.
Loans are denominated in euros and Swedish kronas. The group does
not currently hedge against cash flow interest rate risk. See also note
4.4 Financial assets and liabilities.
The sensitivity analysis presents the impact of a 0,5 percentage point
change in the interest rate level in interest expenses for the finan-
cial period by taking into account the loans from financial institutions.
On 31 December 2025, the impact of 0,5 percentage point change
in the interest rate level with all other variables held constant would
have resulted in a change of EUR 604 thousand (EUR 598 thousand)
in interest expenses. The interest rate sensitivity calculation takes into
account the tax impact.
CURRENCY RISK
Accounting principles: Net investment hedge
On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the trans-
lation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of borrow-
ings designated as hedges of such investments, are recognized
in other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is
disposed of, the associated exchange differences, including
the effective portion of the hedge, are reclassified to profit or
loss as part of the gain or loss on sale. Goodwill and fair value
adjustments arising from the acquisition of a foreign operation
are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and
translated at the closing rate.
At the inception of a hedge relationship, the Group documents
the economic relationship between hedging instruments and
hedged items including whether changes in the cash flows of
the hedging instruments are expected to offset changes in the
cash flows of the hedged items. The Group documents its risk
management objective and strategy for undertaking its hedge
transactions.
The Group operates in Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark. A
significant proportion of the Group’s sales and expenses are incurred
in currencies other than the euro. The objective of currency risk
management is to reduce the uncertainty arising from the potential
impact of fluctuating exchange rates on the value of the future cash
flows, receivables, liabilities and other balance sheet items. The Group
is exposed to currency fluctuations, especially in relation to the Swed-
ish krona.
Transaction risk arises from the foreign currency cash flows related
to business operations and financing when transactions are carried
out in a currency other than the functional currency of each Group
company. Sales and purchases are mainly generated in the oper-
ating currency of each Group company. As a result, the Group is not
exposed to significant transaction risk. However, certain purchases
are transacted in foreign currencies, resulting in a negligible level of
transaction risk. The Group protects itself from transaction risks mainly
by operational means. Currency derivatives (forward contracts) may
be used if necessary to reduce or eliminate uncertainty arising from
fluctuations in exchange rates.
The Group’s operating result is particularly exposed to a translation
risk related to foreign exchange rates arising from the translation of
the income statements and balance sheets of foreign subsidiaries
into the presentation currency of the Group’s financial statements,
which is the euro. The euro is also the functional currency of Enento
Group Plc. The Group mainly uses operational means to minimise the
negative impacts of exchange rate fluctuations. The Group aims to
finance its Swedish operations in Swedish krona in order to cover the
changes in operating profit due to exchange rate fluctuations partly
in changes in finance costs.
Under normal circumstances, the Group does not use foreign currency
derivative instruments to hedge against translation risks. On the
reporting date, 31 December 2025, the Group does not have open
currency derivatives.
The Group applies hedge accounting of net investment in a foreign
operation for a loan. The Group has a bank loan of EUR 60,3 million,
which is denominated in Swedish kronas (SEK) and has a maturity
date of 23 September 2027. The loan has been drawn to finance an
equity investment to be made in the Swedish subsidiary and its spot
rate has been designated as a hedge of the net investment in this
subsidiary. No ineffectiveness was recognized from net investments
in foreign entity hedges.
The impacts of the loan denominated in SEK designated as a net
investment hedge to the Group’s financial position and profit for the
period were as follows:

CREDIT RISK
The Group is exposed to credit and counterparty risks through
outstanding receivables from customers and cash balances. Credit
and counterparty risks occur when counterparties are unable or
unwilling to fulfil their obligations.
Credit risk is managed in the Group’s finance function, which is
responsible for preparing the credit policy complied with in Enento
Group. The Group assesses the creditworthiness of a new customer,
taking into account mainly its financial position and past experience
with the customer. When the credit risk is assessed to be high, a guar-
antee payment is requested. The amount of guarantee payments
received was immaterial for the periods presented. The Group’s client
base is widespread hence there are no large concentrations of credit
risk. Major part of the net sales is coming from company clients and
the share of consumer net sales is minor.
The Group holds excess cash (bank accounts and short-term depos-
its) with financial institutions whose credit rating is minimum ‘A’. The
Group’s outstanding receivables are not exposed to significant credit
risk, and its credit losses have been minor. See also note 3.4 Accounts
receivable and other receivables.
Accounts receivable and contract assets are derecognized when
there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that there
is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, amongst others,
potential bankruptcy of the debtor or inability to prepare a payment
plan with the Group and delay of the contractual payments for more
than a year.
In accordance with the accounting policies, the Group applies a
simplified approach to the recognition of expected credit losses from
the trade receivables, according to which expected credit losses on
any trade receivables are recognized for the entire validity period
according to the delay of payment and different types of trade receiv-
ables. The loss-related deductible item on 31 December 2024 and 31
December 2023 was specified as follows for the accounts receivable:

LIQUIDITY RISK
The Group’s ability to finance its operations depends mainly on the
amount of cash flows from operations and the sources of financing
available.
Cash flow forecasting is performed on a Group level, taking the Group’s
net debt position into account. The Group finance function monitors
Enento Group’s liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash
to meet operational needs while maintaining sufficient headroom on
its undrawn committed loan facilities at all times so that the Group
does not breach loan limits or covenants.
Enento Group has a loan agreement for a term loan and revolving
credit facility agreement with Danske Bank A/S, OP Corporate Bank Plc
and Nordea Bank Plc for a total value of EUR 180,0 million, consisting
of a term loan of EUR 150,0 million and a revolving credit facility of EUR
30,0 million. In accordance with the terms of the loan agreement, the
parent company Enento Group Oyj has the term loan partly in EUR and
partly in SEK. The loans mature in September 2027. More information is
provided in note 4.4 Financial assets and liabilities.
To facilitate efficient cash management in the Group, a multi-cur-
rency cash pool arrangement has been implemented with Danske
Bank A/S. An overdraft of EUR 15,0 million is included in the cash pool
arrangement. The overdraft had not been utilised on 31 December
2025.
Surplus cash is invested in bank accounts or short-term deposits with
appropriate maturities providing sufficient liquidity. The Group has not
made investments in short-term deposits in 2025 or 2024.
Financial liability maturities are presented in note 4.4 Financial assets
and liabilities.

4.2 Capital management
The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the
Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide
returns and increase in value of invested capital for shareholders.
The Group defines capital as including equity and loans from financial
institutions. The capital ratios monitored by the Group are the equity
ratio, net debt and net debt to adjusted EBITDA with the latter being
the most important ratio monitored by the Group with target below 3x.
Net debt is calculated as loans from financial institutions (included in
‘current and non-current interest-bearing liabilities’) less short-term
deposits and cash in hand and at banks. The management does not
have a target level for net debt but follows it regularly.

4.3 Equity
Accounting principles: Equity
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. When the compa-
ny’s own shares are repurchased, the acquisition cost, includ-
ing directly attributable costs, is recognized as a deduction in
equity until the shares are cancelled or reissued. The dividend
proposed by the Board of Directors is not deducted from distrib
-
utable equity until approved at the Annual General Meeting.
The total shareholders’ equity consists of the share capital, the
invested unrestricted equity reserve, translation differences and
accumulated losses.
SHARES AND SHARE CAPITAL
The parent company has one share class, and each share has equal
right to dividend. Each share carries one vote at the general meeting.
All shares issued by the parent company are fully paid. The shares
have no nominal value. The total number of shares was 23 685 590 on
31 December 2025 and 23 700 178 on 31 December 2024. In the finan-
cial year 2025 and 2024, the share capital of the Company amounted
to EUR 80 000.

used in acquiring the shares. According to the authorization, the Board
of Directors could decide on any other matters related to the repur-
chase of shares. The authorization is effective for 18 months from the
close of the Annual General Meeting, until 24 September 2026.
The Board of Directors of Enento Group Plc decided to cancel 14 588
treasury shares of the company on 19 June 2025. The cancelled
shares were repurchased under the share buyback programs previ-
ously announced by the company. Prior to the cancellation of the own
shares, there were in total 23 700 178 issued Enento Group shares. After
the cancellation, the total number of issued Enento Group shares and
votes is 23 685 590.
4.4 Financial assets and liabilities
Accounting principles: Financial assets and
liabilities
The Group classifies its financial assets as measured at amor-
tized cost only if both of the following criteria are met:
the asset is held within a business model the objective of
which is to collect the contractual cash flows, and
the contractual terms give rise to cash flows that are solely
payments of principal and interest
This group includes the Group receivables, other financial
receivables and cash and cash equivalents. These financial
assets are included in current assets, except if they mature
more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period, in
which case they are classified as long-term assets.
Financial liabilities at amortized cost are recognized initially at
fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. The liabilities are
subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective
interest rate method. The Group also has unused credit facilities
and recognizes the related fees in the income statement on a

On 8 April 2025, the Company paid the first instalment of dividends
EUR 0,50 per share, a total of EUR 11 835 thousand and on 27 November
2025, the Company paid the second instalment of dividends EUR 0,50
per share, a total of EUR 11 835 based on the resolution of the Annual
General Meeting held on 24 March 2025.
The Board of Directors proposes that a dividend of EUR 0,50 per share
be paid for the financial year ended 31 December 2025 (totaling EUR 11
834 645,00 based on the Group’s registered total number of shares at
the time of the proposal, notwithstanding shares held in treasury). The
Board of Directors further proposes that the Annual General Meeting
authorizes the Board, at its discretion, to resolve on the further distri-
bution of dividend up to a maximum of EUR 0,50 per share (totaling
EUR 11 834 645,00 based on the Company’s registered total number
of shares at the time of the proposal, notwithstanding shares held
in treasury). It is the intention of the Board of Directors that the divi-
dend payment pursuant to this authorization would be carried out in
November 2026.

5.5 Related parties. An accrued expense of EUR 388 thousand (EUR
350 thousand) for the financial year 2025 has been recognized as an
increase in equity. In 2025, there were no awards paid.
The Annual General Meeting authorized the Board of Directors on 24
March 2025 to decide on the repurchase of maximum of 1 500 000
company’s own shares, in one or several instalments. The shares
would be repurchased with the Company’s unrestricted sharehold-
ers’ equity, and the repurchases would reduce funds available for the
distribution of profits. The shares could be repurchased for example to
develop the company’s capital structure, carry out or finance poten-
tial corporate acquisitions or other business arrangements, to be
used as a part of the company’s incentive program or to be otherwise
conveyed further, retained as treasury shares, or cancelled.
In accordance with the resolution of the Board of Directors, shares
may be repurchased also in a proportion other than that in which
shares are owned by the shareholders (directed acquisition) at the
market price of the shares at marketplaces on which the company
shares are traded or a price otherwise established on the market at
the time of the repurchase. The Board of Directors could decide how
shares are repurchased. Among other means, derivatives may be

The Group did not have any financial assets of liabilities at fair value
through profit or loss in years 2025 and 2024.
Of Enento Group’s loan agreement on 31 December 2025 EUR 89,5
million (EUR 89,3 million) were EUR-denominated and EUR 60,3 million
(EUR 56,9 million) were SEK-denominated. More detailed informa-
tion about the loan agreement is presented in note 4.1 Financial risk
management.
The Group’s management has determined that there is no essential
difference between carrying value and fair value because there have
not been significant changes in interest rates since the issue date
of the loans and margins of loans are considered to reflect different
conditions and the subordination of the loans with reasonable accu-
racy.
The loan includes a financial covenant that is net debt to EBITDA,
calculated as defined under the terms of the financing agreement.
The financial covenants are monitored and tested on a quarterly
basis. The ratio of the Group’s net debt to EBITDA adjusted according
to the terms of the financing agreement was 2,9 (2,8) on 31 December
2025. The covenant limit in accordance with the financing agreement
was 3,5 (3,5) on 31 December 2025. The Group met all the covenants
in the months under review.
In addition to financial covenants, the financing agreement was linked
on 9 March 2023 with sustainability criteria. The margin decreases
or increases depending on how successful Enento is reaching the
sustainability targets defined in the agreement. The sustainability
criteria are monitored and tested annually at the end of each financial
year. In 2024 the sustainability criteria were not met, and it did result
in an increase of 2,5 basis points to the margin. 2025 criteria will be
reviewed during first quarter of 2026.
straight-line basis. Lease liabilities are measured to the present
value of future lease payments discounted with the incremental
borrowing rate.
LEASES
The Group recognizes an asset (a right-of-use asset for the
object of the lease) and a financial liability relating to payment
of lease rents on the balance sheet for all lease agreements in
the Group unless the lease agreement duration is 12 months or
less or the leased item is of low value.
Enento Group leases mainly office premises, IT equipment and
cars. Lease agreements are usually made for fixed time period
ranging from one year to five years. Some lease agreements
include options to extend the lease agreement. The lease term
is the time period during which the agreement is non-cancel-
lable, also considering any extension and termination options if
it is reasonably certain that such options will be exercised.
Lease payments are discounted using the lessee’s incremental
borrowing rate, being the rate that the lessee would have to
pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar
value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environ-
ment with similar time period, terms, security and conditions.
Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance
cost. Finance cost is charged to interest expenses. Leasing
interest expenses are presented in note 2.4.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter of the
asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis.
Depreciations of Right-of-use assets are presented in note 3.3.
Payments associated with short-term leases and all leases
of low-value assets, less incentives received from lessor, are
recognised as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease
term in profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease
term of 12 months or less. Low-value lease assets comprise

4.6 Pensions
Accounting principles: Pensions
The Group operates both defined benefit and defined contribu-
tion pension plans.
For defined contribution plans, the Group pays contributions to
publicly or privately administered pension insurance plans on a
mandatory, contractual or voluntary basis. Enento Group has no
further payment obligations once the contributions have been
paid. The contributions are recognized as employee benefit
expenses when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recog-
nized as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction
in future payments is available.
The Group has a partially funded defined benefit plan in Sweden
(BTP 2) that is administered by SPP Konsult AB. The BTP 2 plan
applies to all employees at UC AB that have started before
January 1, 2014, and are +25 years old. The benefits include old
age pension, survivors´ pension and a disability pension. The
old age pension is determined by the salary at retirement age.
The liability recognized on the balance sheet in respect of
defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined
benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the
fair value of plan assets. The plan assets include paid employer
contributions and the arrangement has an asset ceiling. The
defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by indepen-
dent actuaries using the projected unit credit method.
The present value of the defined benefit obligation is deter-
mined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using
interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds that are denom-
inated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid and
that have terms approximating the terms of the related obli-
gation. The Group has derived its interest rate from the Swed-
ish market of covered mortgage bonds, with an extrapolated
duration corresponding to the Group’s pension obligations. The
fair value of any plan assets is measured on the reporting date.
Service cost is recognized as part of personnel expenses and
net interest expenses are presented as part of finance costs.
The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate
to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation and the fair
value of plan assets.
Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experi-
ence-based adjustments and changes in actuarial assump-
tions as well as the possible effect of asset ceiling are recog-
nized in the period in which they occur, directly in other
comprehensive income. They are included in retained earnings
in the statement of changes in equity and on the balance sheet.
Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation
resulting from plan amendments, curtailments and the fulfil-
ment of obligations are recognized immediately in profit or loss
as past service costs.
Financial Statements
Board of Directors’ Report
GovernanceEnento as a company
Enento Group Annual Review 2025 | 66Investor information
The Swedish special salary taxes on pension costs (SLP) consti-
tute part of the actuarial assumptions and are therefore recog-
nized as part of the net pension defined benefit liability.
Swedish tax on returns from pension funds is recognized on
an ongoing basis in profit or loss for the period to which the
tax relates and is therefore not included in the calculation of
pension obligations. The tax relates to a hypothetical return on
plan assets determined for tax purposes only and is recognized
in other comprehensive income. In the case of unfunded or
partially unfunded plans, the tax is included in the profit or loss
for the year.
As a result of defined benefit pension plans, the Group is
exposed to plan asset volatility risk, life expectancy risk and
inflation risk materializing in the rate of salary increases.

5.2 Share-based payments
Accounting principles: Share-based payments
The Group has share-based incentive plans which include
incentives paid as shares as well as cash components related
to the withholding tax obligations associated with the share
incentives. The benefits granted in accordance with the incen-
tive plan are measured at fair value on the grant date and
expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
The fair value of the equity-settled incentives is based on the
market price of the share on the grant date. The share-based
payments settled with equity instruments are not remeasured
subsequently, and cost from these arrangements is recognized
as an increase in equity. The total expense for share-based
payments is recognized over the vesting period, which is the
period over which vesting conditions are to be satisfied. Share-
based payments, that are netted by the amount required to
meet the withholding obligations to the tax authority and paid
by the Group in cash are considered in their entirety as equi-
ty-settled. Withholding tax paid by the Group to the tax author-
ity on behalf of the employee is recognized directly from equity.
The cash-settled share-based incentives are measured at fair
value at the end of each financial reporting period until the
settlement date and recognized as a liability. The expensed
amount of the benefits is based on the Group’s estimate of the
amount of benefits to be paid at the end of the vesting period.
Market conditions and non-vesting conditions are considered in
determining the fair value of the benefit. Instead, the non-mar-
ket criteria, such as profitability or increase in sales, are not
considered in measuring the fair value of the benefit but taken
into account when estimating the final amount of benefits. The
Group updates the estimate of the final amount of the bene-
fits at every financial reporting date and recognizes changes in
estimates through the statement of profit or loss.
Enento Group has share-based incentive plans for key personnel,
the purpose of which is to align the interests of shareholders and key
personnel, to retain key personnel to the company and to reward
them for achieving the goals set by the Board of Directors.
The plans offer the participants the opportunity to earn rewards if the
performance targets set by the Board of Directors are achieved.
The performance targets are in all current plans based on Enento
Group’s Total Shareholder Return (TSR) and Enento Group’s cumula-
tive adjusted EBITDA for the performance period. The achievement of
the targets are measured independently from each other.
The plans consist each of one performance period covering the
calendar years indicated in the name of the share plan. The potential
rewards from the plan will be paid partly in Enento Group Plc shares
and partly in cash, to be used immediately to cover withholding tax
from the gross reward, after the end of the performance period. As a
rule, no reward will be paid if a participant’s employment or service
ends before the reward payment. As for performance-based plan
2022-2024, a member of the Executive Management Team must hold
all net shares received on the basis of the plan, until the member’s
shareholding in the company in total corresponds to the value of his
or her annual gross salary and until his or her employment or service
at Enento Group continues. As for performance-based plans 2024-
2025, 2024-2026 and 2025-2027, a member of the Executive Manage-
ment Team must hold at least half of the net shares received on the
basis of the plan, until the member’s shareholding in the company in
total corresponds to the value of his or her annual gross salary.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements:
Accounting for the shareholder agreement
Enento Group Plc is party to a shareholder agreement concern-
ing the control of UC’s credit register and credit register informa-
tion, as the company owned jointly by the sellers of UC shares
received, as part of the transaction, a small number of UC’s B
shares, granting their holders certain administrative rights. The
B shares do not entitle their holders to dividends or UC’s result
or balance sheet. Furthermore, according to UC’s Articles of
Association, among others, certain resolutions concerning the
credit register and credit register information require a unani-
mous decision of the Board of Directors and the requirement for
the making of such a decision at UC’s General Meeting is that
the minority shareholders vote in favour of the decision. These
requirements are applied to changes containing a risk that UC
is, from time to time, not able to fulfil its legal obligations and/
or contractual obligations concerning, among others, the use,
availability or processing of the credit register or credit register
information, secured distribution of credit register information
and the interface used for the delivery of credit information.
Enento Group Plc has further undertaken not to transfer UC’s
shares to any other party, unless such a party is in possession
of sufficient capacities and unless the party does not commit
to the same restrictions as Enento Group in relation to the
credit register and credit register information. The purpose of
these arrangements has been to ensure the maintenance of
the credit register and the control of credit register information
provided by the sellers. The management of Enento Group has
exercised judgement in reporting the B shares with a value of
SEK 1 000 as a non-controlling interest in equity.
The following table presents the Group’s subsidiaries and associated
companies as of 31 December 2025. The Group had no joint arrange-
ments as of 31 December 2025. All group companies are related
parties of the Group.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements:
Impairment testing of shares in associated
companies
Shares in associated companies are tested for impairment if
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carry-
ing value of the associated companies may not be recover-
able. The recoverable amounts of the associated companies
are determined based on value in use or fair value less costs
of disposal. The value-in-use calculations require the use of
management estimates including projected future cash flows,
estimates of discount rate and the economic development of
the associated company.

Board of Directors’ Report

Enento Group Annual Review 2025 | 79Investor information
At the end of the financial year 2025, distributable funds of the Group’s
parent company amounted to EUR 392 939 271,61 of which the profit
for the financial year was EUR 20 551 608,80. The Board of Directors
proposes that a dividend of EUR 0,50 per share be paid for the finan-
cial year ended 31 December 2025 (totalling EUR 11 834 645,00 based
on the Group’s registered total number of shares at the time of the
proposal, notwithstanding shares held in treasury). The dividend will
be paid to a shareholder registered in the Group’s shareholders’ regis-
ter held by Euroclear Finland Oy on the payment record date of 30
March 2026. The Board of Directors proposes that the funds be paid
on 15 April 2026.
The Board of Directors further proposes that the Annual General Meet-
ing authorises the Board, at its discretion, to resolve on the distribu-
tion of an additional dividend up to a maximum of EUR 0,50 per share
(totalling EUR 11 834 645,00 based on the Company’s registered total
number of shares at the time of the proposal, notwithstanding shares
held in treasury). It is the intention of the Board of Directors that the
dividend payment pursuant to this authorisation would be carried out
in November 2026. The Company will separately publish resolutions
of the Board of Directors on the dividend payment and confirm the
record and payment dates in connection with such resolutions. The
Board’s proposal for the distribution of funds
additional dividend to be paid based on the authorisation would be
paid to a shareholder who on the payment record date in question
is recorded in the Company’s shareholders’ register maintained by
Euroclear Finland Oy. The Board of Directors proposes that the authori-
sation includes the right for the Board of Directors to decide on all
other terms and conditions related to the dividend payment. The
Board may also decide not to use this authorisation. The authorisation
is proposed to remain in effect until the next Annual General Meeting.
After the financial year there are no material changes in the Compa-
ny’s financial position. The Company’s liquidity is good and, based on
the Board of Directors’ view, the proposed distribution of profits does
not compromise the Company’s liquidity.

TO THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF ENENTO GROUP OYJ
REPORT ON THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
Opinion
In our opinion
the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view
of the group’s financial position, financial performance and cash
flows in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted
by the EU
the financial statements give a true and fair view of the parent
company’s financial performance and financial position in
accordance with the laws and regulations governing the
preparation of financial statements in Finland and comply with
statutory requirements.
Our opinion is consistent with the additional report to the Audit
Committee.
WHAT WE HAVE AUDITED
We have audited the financial statements of Enento Group Oyj (busi-
ness identity code 2194007-7) for the year ended 31 December 2025.
The financial statements comprise:
the consolidated statement of comprehensive income,
consolidated statement of financial position, consolidated
statement of changes in equity, consolidated statement of
cash flows and notes to the consolidated financial statements,
which include material accounting policy information and other
explanatory information
Auditor’s Report
the parent company’s income statement, balance sheet, cash
flow statement and notes to the parent company financial
statements.
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 believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
INDEPENDENCE
We are independent of the parent company and of the group compa-
nies 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.
To the best of our knowledge and belief, the non-audit services that
we have provided to the parent company and group companies are
in accordance with the applicable law and regulations in Finland and
we have not provided non-audit services that are prohibited under
Article 5(1) of Regulation (EU) No 537/2014. The non-audit services that
we have provided are disclosed in note 2.2 to the Financial Statements.
Our Audit Approach
OVERVIEW
Materiality
Overall group materiality: € 1,5 million, which represents
approximately 1% of net sales.
Audit Scope
The group audit scope includes all significant legal entities in
Finland and Sweden, covering the vast majority of revenues,
assets and liabilities of the group.
Key Audit Matters
Goodwill: Goodwill in Enento Group’s consolidated statement
of financial position was € 344 822 thousand which is
approximately 74% of the total assets of € 464 544 thousand.
We have tested the impairment assessment and assessed the
appropriateness of the estimates used by Group’s management
in their impairment assessment.
Net sales: Enento Group’s net sales in the financial year 2025
amounted to € 152 671 thousand. There is a risk in revenue
recognition that revenue accounted for in the financial
statements are not real or revenue has been recognised in
incorrect amount or in incorrect accounting period, whether
caused by fraud or error. We have tested revenue recognition
principles as well as revenue transactions in order to respond to
risks in revenue recognition.
As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and
assessed the risks of material misstatement in the financial state-
ments. In particular, we considered where management made
subjective judgements; for example, in respect of significant account-
ing estimates that involved making assumptions and considering
future events that are inherently uncertain.

Enento Group Annual Review 2025 | 82Investor information
MATERIALITY
The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of material-
ity. An audit is designed to obtain reasonable assurance whether the
financial statements are free from material misstatement. Misstate-
ments may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered material
if individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to
influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the
financial statements.
Based on our professional judgement, we determined certain quan-
titative thresholds for materiality, including the overall group materi-
ality for the consolidated financial statements as set out in the table
below. These, together with qualitative considerations, helped us to
determine the scope of our audit and the nature, timing and extent of
our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements on
the financial statements as a whole.
Overall group materiality
€ 1,5 million (previous year € 1,5 million)
How we determined it
Approximately 1% of net sales
Rationale for the materiality benchmark applied
We chose net sales as the benchmark because, in our view, it is a
stable and an important benchmark in the group’s current situation,
against which the performance of the group is measured by users
of the financial statements. As the group’s profitability has not been
stable, net sales is also a generally accepted benchmark. We chose
1% which is within the range of acceptable quantitative materiality
thresholds in auditing standards.
HOW WE TAILORED OUR GROUP AUDIT SCOPE
We tailored the scope of our audit, taking into account the structure
of the Enento Group, the accounting processes and controls, and the
industry in which the group operates.
The group audit scope included the group parent company and all
subsidiaries to the parent company.
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.
As in all of our audits, we also addressed the risk of management
override of internal controls, including among other matters consid-
eration of whether there was evidence of bias that represented a risk
of material misstatement due to fraud.

GOODWILL
NET SALES
Refer to note 2.1 of the financial statements
Refer to note 3.2 of the financial statements
The Group’s goodwill amounted to € 344 822 thousand which is approximately 74% of total assets
€ 464 544 thousand. Goodwill is material to the consolidated financial statements. The Group’s
management uses significant judgement when assessing future estimated cash flows.
For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount of the Group’s three cash-generating
units have been determined based on value-in-use calculations which require the use of estimates.
These calculations use cash flow projections based on financial estimates approved by the manage-
ment covering a four-year period. Cash flows beyond the four-year period are extrapolated using
the estimated growth rates.
Key parameters in the projections are the development of net sales and key cost items as well as
long-term growth rate and discount rate. Management has performed a sensitivity analysis around
the key parameters of the goodwill allocated to each cash generating units in which the combined
effect of changes in the parameters is tested.
Enento Group provides information services. The majority of revenue is transaction based generated
from the delivery of individual pieces or bundles of credit, business and market information. The infor-
mation is processed or refined by the Group and made available to the customers mainly through
online facilities.
Revenue is recognised at the point in time when the performance obligation is satisfied by the deliv-
ery of information or over time depending on performance obligation to be satisfied. The Group
recognises as revenue transaction price to which Enento Group expects to be entitled in exchange
for transferring goods and services to customer.
There is a risk in revenue recognition that revenue accounted for in the financial statements are not
real or revenue has been recognised in incorrect amount or in incorrect accounting period, whether
caused by fraud or error. The Company aims to ensure by its internal processes and controls that
revenue recognition in the financial statements is materially correct.
We assessed and tested the effectiveness of sales process key controls. We also tested revenue trans-
actions by using computer assisted audit techniques and by substantive testing procedures in order
to respond to risk of fraud in revenue recognition and to the risk that recognised revenue is not real or
has been recognised incorrectly. We also tested that revenue transactions have been accounted for
in the correct financial period.
We audited journal entries related to revenue. In addition, we have performed analytical procedures to
respond to risk of material misstatement in the financial statements.
We tested the cash flow estimates prepared by the Group’s management for years 2026-2028 as well
as the determination of the discount rate used. We compared the used cash flow estimates to finan-
cial budgets and projections prepared by the management and approved by the board to verify that
cash flow estimates used in the assessment are not greater than the financial budget. We assessed
the reasonabless and consistency of estimated profitability levels to approved financial budgets and
cash flow estimates. We compared estimated growth rates used in the cash flow estimates to the
Group’s historic growth and tested mathematical accuracy of these cash flow estimates. We assessed
appropriateness of the discount rate used in the calculations and tested the mathematical accuracy
of the discount rate calculations.
We tested the sensitivity analysis prepared by management in order to ascertain the combined effect
of changes in key parameters that would lead to impairment. We tested the mathematical accuracy
of the sensitivity analysis related to the goodwill impairment assessment.
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 Article 10(2c) of Regulation (EU) No 537/2014 with respect to the consolidated financial statements or the parent company financial
statements.
Financial Statements
Board of Directors’ Report
GovernanceEnento as a company
Enento Group Annual Review 2025 | 84Investor information
Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and the
Managing Director for the Financial Statements
The Board of Directors and the Managing Director 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 stat-
utory requirements. The Board of Directors and the Managing Direc-
tor 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 the
Managing Director are responsible for assessing the parent compa-
ny’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 inten-
tion to liquidate the parent company or the group or to cease opera-
tions, 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 assur
-
ance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance
with good auditing practice will always detect a material misstate-
ment 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 these 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.
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 Managing Director’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.
Plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient
appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information
of the entities or business units within the group as a basis for
forming an opinion on the group financial statements. We are
responsible for the direction, supervision and review of the audit
work performed for purposes 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 regard-
ing independence, and communicate with them all relationships and
other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our inde-
pendence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with gover-
nance, 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 audi-
tor’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.

Independent auditor’s report on the ESEF financial statements
of Enento Group Oyj
The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are also responsi-
ble for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable
the preparation of ESEF financial statements in accordance with the
requirements of the Commission’s regulatory technical standard.
Auditor’s independence and quality
management
We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical
requirements that are applicable in Finland and are relevant to the
engagement we have performed, and we have fulfilled our other ethi-
cal responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
The auditor applies International Standard on Quality Management
(ISQM) 1, which requires the firm to design, implement and operate
a system of quality management including policies or procedures
regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional stan
-
dards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
Auditor’s responsibilities
Our responsibility is to, in accordance with Chapter 7, Section 8 of
the Securities Markets Act, provide assurance on the financial state-
ments that have been prepared in accordance with the Commission’s
regulatory technical standard. We express an opinion on whether the
consolidated financial statements that are included in the ESEF finan-
cial statements have been tagged, in all material respects, in accor-
dance with the requirements of Article 4 of the Commission’s regula-
tory technical standard.
Our responsibility is to indicate in our opinion to what extent the assur-
ance has been provided. We conducted a reasonable assurance
engagement in accordance with International Standard on Assurance
Engagements (ISAE) 3000.
The engagement includes procedures to obtain evidence on:
whether the primary financial statements in the consolidated
financial statements that are included in the ESEF financial
statements have been tagged, in all material respects, with iXBRL
tags in accordance with the requirements of Article 4 of the
Commission’s regulatory technical standard and
whether the notes and company’s identification data in the
consolidated financial statements that are included in the ESEF
financial statements have been tagged, in all material respects,
with iXBRL tags in accordance with the requirements of Article 4
of the Commission’s regulatory technical standard and
whether there is consistency between the ESEF financial
statements and the audited financial statements.
The nature, timing and extent of the selected procedures depend on
the auditor’s judgment. This includes an assessment of the risk of a
material deviation due to fraud or error from the requirements of the
Commission’s regulatory technical standard.
We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

SHAREHOLDERS’ NOMINATION BOARD
Based on the proposal by the Board of Directors, the sole shareholder
of the Company resolved on 10 March 2015 to establish a Sharehold-
ers’ Nomination Board for an indefinite period to prepare proposals to
the Annual General Meeting for the election and remuneration of the
members of the Board of Directors and the remuneration of the Board
Committees and the Nomination Board. According to the Charter of
the Shareholders’ Nomination Board, it shall comprise representatives
of the Company’s three largest shareholders who, on 30 September
preceding the next Annual General Meeting, hold the largest number
of votes calculated of all shares in the Company and, in addition, of
the Chairperson of the Board of Directors as expert member.
The right to nominate the shareholder representatives lies with those
three shareholders whose share of all the voting rights in the Company
is on 30 September preceding the next Annual General Meeting the
largest on the basis of the shareholders’ register of the Company held
by Euroclear Finland Ltd. However, holdings by a shareholder who,
under the Finnish Securities Market Act, has the obligation to disclose
its shareholdings (flagging obligation) that are divided into several
funds or registers, will be summed up when calculating the share of
all the voting rights, provided that such shareholder presents a written
request to that effect to the Chairperson of the Company’s Board of
Directors no later than on 29 September preceding the next Annual
General Meeting.
The aforementioned shareholders appoint, in accordance with the
Charter of the Nomination Board, from the request of the Chairperson
of the Company’s Board of Directors their representatives to the Nomi-
nation Board after 30 September.
Shareholders’ Nomination Board submits its proposal to the Board of
Directors of the Company at the latest on 31 January preceding the
next Annual General Meeting. Shareholders’ Nomination Board reviews
its performance and procedures once a year and gives out a report of
its actions annually. The report is published in the Corporate Gover-
nance Statement.
PRINCIPLES CONCERNING THE DIVERSITY
OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Company has defined the principles concerning the diversity of
the Board of Directors in the following way:
In Enento Group Plc, the proposal concerning the composition of the
Board of Directors is prepared and made to the Annual general Meet-
ing by the Shareholders’ Nomination Board, which consists of the
representatives of the Company’s three largest shareholders and of
the chairperson of the Board of Directors as expert member. When
making their proposal for the composition of the Board of Directors,
the Shareholders’ Nomination Board applies these diversity principles
defined by the Company or the assessment of diversity.
Diversity of the Board of Directors supports the development of the
Company’s business and the achievement of strategic objectives as
well as the promoting of customer insight. The complementing exper-
tise of the members and experience in the lines of business essential
for the Company (financing, commerce, information technology) are
considered important. From the point of view of diversity, experience
in international operational environment and international represen-
tation are considered essential. The objective is that both genders be
represented in the Board of Directors. Long-term needs and adequate
turnover shall be taken into account when electing the members of the
Board of Directors.
REALIZATION OF DIVERSITY OF THE BOARD
OF DIRECTORS
At the moment (2025), the Company’s Board of Directors consists of
eight members, three of whom are foreign nationals. The members
are experienced in Board duties in various types of companies. Of
the members of the Board of Directors, one person was nominated in
the general meeting in 2019. One person has been nominated by the
general meeting in 2021, one in 2023 and 2024, whereas four members
were nominated in 2025. Both genders are represented in the Compa-
ny’s Board of Directors.
These principles and the realization of diversity are presented as part
of the Company’s corporate governance.
