CEO’s comment
Comment regarding the interim report by Kimmo Alkio, President and CEO:
"I am pleased with our continued strong growth in the second quarter, with our consulting business and banking software business reaching double-digit growth. While attrition levels are now stabilizing, profitability for the quarter was impacted by exceptionally high salary inflation, as anticipated. We are on schedule with the performance improvement programmes in Tietoevry Connect and Tietoevry Banking and we have also accelerated performance measures in Tietoevry Transform. These programmes will contribute to our performance in the second half. Tietoevry Transform ended the quarter with a strong order intake, which also provides a foundation for improved future performance.
We have today announced a strategic review of Tietoevry Banking to enable its accelerated growth and realize its full value potential. The strategic review includes a process to study the potential separation of the Banking business into a new company and its listing on a stock exchange. We believe that operating as an independent entity would enable this business to have better focus, build a clear financial services software identity to attract the best talent and enhance value to its customers.
We continue to experience an active market with exciting customer initiatives for applying new cloud and data technologies – to the benefit of our customers’ digital transformation agenda. Broad market demand provides a solid foundation for continued healthy growth, in line with our full-year ambitions.
It is inspiring to see how our Ukrainian colleagues remain firmly committed to high-quality customer deliveries every day. We at Tietoevry are doing all that we can to support our colleagues and their families in these difficult times.
During the summer, we have been commended for our participation in societal discussions across the Nordics on topics such as cybersecurity, inclusion and climate change. More than ever, companies are expected to participate in public dialogue on environmental and social responsibility and the development of our societies. We at Tietoevry are committed to continuing to be an active participant in the dialogue and contributing to our customers' sustainability agenda through our products and services.”
