CEO comment by Endre Rangnes 

Progressing with execution of our strategic priorities: customer first, growth and lean cost structure

"Our third-quarter performance was healthy with early signs of margin recovery. Our organic growth totalled 4% and adjusted operating margin 19.3% – this development was largely driven by revenue related to a court ruling in Tietoevry Banking. When eliminating the positive contribution of this revenue, underlying growth remained at -1%. On a positive note, our underlying margin improved to 15.2% from 12.8% year-on-year, with higher profitability in all businesses, following the execution of our cost optimization efforts. Tietoevry Care and Tietoevry Industry turned to growth whereas revenue development in Tietoevry Create remained negative due to continued challenging market conditions.

Following the successful divestment of Tietoevry Tech Services during the quarter, we are now fully focused on executing our strategic priorities. This marks a pivotal phase for the company, where we are driving forward with a sharpened emphasis on customer centricity, growth and a lean cost structure – anchored by a strong execution mindset.

To accelerate commercial impact, we have launched a comprehensive sales focus programme across business units. This initiative includes a new sales governance model, better aligning demand and supply of competencies for the benefit of our customers, as well as harmonization of CRM systems and targeted sales training. These efforts are designed to reinforce customer trust, strengthen the sales pipeline and enhance incentive effectiveness. Furthermore, our AI programme will help us adopt the best practices of embedding AI in both offerings and sales – and provide AI tools to improve internal productivity.

We are actively transforming our business profile to support sustainable growth and improved profitability. Our strategic focus is on expanding cloud-native and AI-enabled solutions. Our ambition for growth is higher than our current performance, and we are pursuing international expansion for our proven Nordic software solutions. Early market responses – such as our latest win in Catalonia, Spain – are encouraging, though we expect the full impact to materialize over time due to longer lead cycles in new markets. We remain confident in our direction and committed to delivering long-term value for our customers and shareholders.

Our cost optimization programmes introduced earlier this year are progressing as planned towards the EUR 115 million target by the end of 2026. We achieved run-rate savings of EUR 75 million by the end of the third quarter – well in line with the ambition for this year.​

We are excited to introduce the next chapter of the company as well as our business plans at our Capital Markets Day in November. Reflecting on the active dialogue I have had with investors and across our stakeholder groups in the past months, we can be proud of our strong foundation, which comprises our long-term customer relations, relevant and renowned partners, market-leading vertical software assets, innovation capabilities and our talented people. This existing foundation combined with our clear strategy and relentless execution are the cornerstones of our future success.”
