CEO's comment

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

"I'm excited by our very strong fourth-quarter performance as we achieved 9%
growth and profitability of over 15%. The main business contributors for the
quarter were our Banking and Care software businesses, as well as the globally
expanding digital engineering -focused Create business. In the full year 2022,
we were able to deliver healthy performance with 6% growth and 13.0%
profitability - despite the challenging macroeconomic and geopolitical
conditions. This favourable financial development enables us to continue on an
attractive dividend path as proposed by the Board of Directors.

Overall, 2022 was a highly transformational year for Tietoevry as we began the
execution of our new specialization-based strategy, including a fundamental
change in the way we operate as a company. I thank all our employees for
embracing this change and for their contributions across our operations
globally. During the past year we have made solid progress in enhancing the
competitiveness of our specialized businesses, identifying future avenues for
profitable growth and expansion. On this note, our earlier announced strategic
reviews for the Banking and Transform & Connect businesses continue to be on
schedule.

We expect market conditions to remain encouraging for technology investments as
customers across markets and industries are placing high emphasis on new
technologies and skills to drive innovation and competitiveness in their core
businesses. We expect demand for our software and digital engineering businesses
to remain strong while we recognize the potential impact of macroeconomic
development and the continued effects of inflation. In light of the shift in the
business mix towards software and digital engineering, we anticipate favourable
growth and profit development to continue towards our long-term financial
ambition.

We are also delighted by the progress in both employee engagement and our
sustainability agenda for the year 2022. Our employee engagement reached all
-time high levels in a change-intensive era, underlining the importance of
company values and support for employee well-being. It was also encouraging to
see the positive trend in our reputation and employer image in several Nordic
surveys. While we experienced a number of important and favourable developments
in 2022 for the company, we wish to highlight our commitment to our Ukrainian
colleagues and continue to take all possible measures to support their safety
and well-being.

In light of the continued increase in the importance of companies' social and
environmental responsibility, we have progressed significantly in key areas of
our sustainability agenda. During the year, we advanced in our three-year
Sustainability Plan with commitments to the Science Based Targets with the
highest ambition level and achieved the highest rankings on Ecovadis (Platinum)
and CDP (A) evaluations.

Looking ahead, we are seizing the opportunities digitalization is bringing for
our customers and for the society at large and are committed to continued
sustainable development. As a company, we continuously strive for increased
impact and value for the benefit of our customers, employees and shareholders."
