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

“First-quarter performance was as anticipated, impacted by the soft
macroeconomic environment, high comparison figures and fewer working days. Our
revenue was organically down by 2%. Profitability remained resilient with a
healthy profit margin of over 12% despite the headwinds, including continued
high inflation. Banking business continued to post solid growth of 8% and a year
-on-year improvement in profitability. In Tietoevry Industry, performance
remained healthy with 4% growth and profit margin of over 16%. In Tietoevry
Care, profitability remained at a healthy level whereas performance in Tietoevry
Create was impacted by macroeconomic uncertainty, fewer working days and high
comparison figure. Tietoevry Tech Services' profitability improved from the
prior year. We anticipate that the first quarter represents the lowest growth
rate for 2024 and we expect revenue to return to growth in the second quarter.

During the quarter, we experienced a criminal ransomware attack in one of our
data centres in Sweden. Since the attack, our teams have been working
relentlessly to restore services for our customers. With the exception of
efforts continuing with few customers, all impacted customer services were fully
restored by mid-March. We regret the challenges this criminal attack has caused
to our customers and the Swedish society.

As Tietoevry, we have an active role in promoting future technology and
innovation, and currently we are advancing within the field of generative AI
together with our customers. Our agreement with Helsinki University Hospital is
an exciting example of the development of AI-based solutions. In collaboration
with the client, we are developing an artificial intelligence solution that
enables rapid identification of rare diseases. In Tietoevry Create, our activity
level in delivering AI-powered solutions to customers is high. I am also proud
of Tietoevry Tech Services for being named the European leader in the 2023 ISG
Provider Lens™ Intelligent Automation Services and Solutions report. The report
examines the essential capabilities required to succeed in digital
transformation and intelligent automation.

We have seen good progress in the strategic review of Tietoevry Tech Services.
The sales process is progressing as planned, with high engagement level. We have
now concluded the strategic review of Tietoevry Banking. Prevailing capital
market conditions do not support maximizing the value creation of Tietoevry
Banking through a listing or sale. Higher value of Banking is realizable by
further developing the performance of the business in the Group as an
international fintech software player.

Our hearts and minds remain with our colleagues in Ukraine as the devastating
situation in the country continues. We continue to support our people and their
families and to provide means for relocation and enhance opportunities to
continue working.

In March, we launched a new Sustainability Pledge to guide and accelerate our
sustainability performance in 2024 and beyond. We are committed to accelerating
the company's sustainability performance in three areas: climate change, ethical
conduct and our social impact. Caring for our people and planet remains close to
our heart - and we recognize the opportunities our industry has to offer to help
safeguard the world around us.”
