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.
