CEO’s comment

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

"I am pleased with the first-quarter performance and progress in strategy execution. Growth increased to 5% and adjusted operating margin was 11.6%. Tietoevry Create delivered strong 15% growth by focusing on cloud native consulting and software engineering services, especially in international markets. Of our software-driven businesses, Tietoevry Banking continued to deliver healthy 8% growth. 

 

Our new strategy based on specialized end-to-end businesses has gone live as planned and drives increased customer value and growth opportunities. In order to drive competitiveness and efficiency, several measures are being carried out across businesses. In February, Tietoevry Connect announced a cost savings and delivery optimization programme to support its profitability improvement objectives.

 

We stay strong together and live by our values as Tietoevry during the ongoing tragedy in Ukraine. We prioritize employee safety and are doing our best to support our 2 200 Ukrainian colleagues and their families. Currently the majority of our colleagues have relocated to safer areas in Ukraine and adjacent countries. I continue to be impressed by the working morale of our Ukrainian colleagues and how they are maintaining high customer focus in these difficult times.

 

Market demand continues to be driven by high adoption of new cloud and data-driven technologies as well as industry-specific software. The active market and our strong first quarter provide a solid foundation for the full year.”
