F-Secure Corporation, Stock Exchange Release 5 July 2022 at 18:00 EEST

F-Secure Corporation publishes historical financial information for 2021

As announced in a stock exchange release on 30 June 2022, F-Secure Corporation (“F-Secure”) was formed as a result of the demerger from WithSecure Corporation (“WithSecure”), which was completed on 30 June 2022. Trading in F-Secure's shares on the main market of Nasdaq Helsinki started on 1 July 2022.

The historical financial information of F-Secure for the interim periods 1 January – 31 March 2021, 1 April – 30 June 2021, 1 July – 30 September 2021 and 1 October – 31 December 2021 is presented herein on a carve-out basis. The carve-out principles and accounting principles applied are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the carve-out financial statements as at and for the years ended 31 December 2021, 2020 and 2019.

The carve-out financial information of F-Secure has been prepared on a carve-out basis from WithSecure’s audited consolidated financial statements using the historical income and expenses, assets and liabilities and cash flows attributable to F-Secure business. The carve-out financial information also includes the allocation of income, expense, assets, liabilities and cash flows which are based on management judgement, assumptions and estimates. The most significant estimates, judgements and assumptions relate to the allocation of the costs of certain centrally provided shared services, leasing arrangements, shared tangible and intangible assets, cash management and financing, determination on current and deferred income taxes and invested equity.

The carve-out financial information may not necessarily represent F-Secure’s combined results of operations, financial position and cash flows that would have been had F-Secure been managed as a stand-alone consolidated group, preparing consolidated financial information for the periods presented, separate from WithSecure. Further, the carve-out financial information may not be indicative of F-Secure’s future performance, financial position or cash flows.

The information of interim periods is unaudited. The carve-out financial information is presented in millions of euros unless otherwise stated. All figures have been rounded and consequently, the sum of individual figures may deviate from the sum totals presented.

ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES

In addition to EBIT, F-Secure uses Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBITA and Adjusted EBITDA as key performance indicators when measuring performance between periods. Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBITA and Adjusted EBITDA exclude items that affect comparability. Items affecting comparability are associated with strategic reviews in 2021. Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBITA and Adjusted EBITDA are presented in addition to EBIT to reflect the underlying business performance and to enhance comparability between periods. F-Secure believes that these comparable alternative performance measures provide meaningful supplemental information by excluding items outside normal business operations, which reduce comparability between the periods.

1) In the Carve-out financial statements, no cash or certain lease liabilities, such as lease liabilities related to business premises, were allocated to F-Secure. As a result, the Net debt derived from the carve-out financial statements does not reflect F-Secure's Net debt after the Demerger when the Company operates as a separate entity.
2) Comprises the personnel directly employed by the consumer security business. The figure does not include the share of personnel in shared group functions.
