Chief Executivces Summary

CEO Mikko Tahkola: «We entered 2023 in a challenging situation. The uncertainty caused by the war in Ukraine and the very strong inflationary trend had lowered the Group’s profitability, which is why our most important goal for 2023 was to return the Group to a track of profitable growth. We succeeded very well in this. The Group’s comparable Ebit increased by 251 percent in January-December and by 377 percent in October-December. The Group’s operating profit in January-December was 5.1 percent of net sales and in October-December 4.3 percent of net sales. The operating profit for the last quarter was slightly lower than in the third quarter, which was influenced by the higher level of fixed costs late in the year compared to the summer and the adjustment costs incurred.» For additional info please read the PDF file below (220 KB):
