Weachieved an EBIT margin of 7.6% in the fourth quarter due to disciplinedimplementation of planned streamlining measures. Going forward, profitabilityimprovement will continue to be high on our agenda, but we are starting to focusmore on growth.On the whole, year 2009 was exceptionally challenging. We implemented a newoperating model and business structure and at the same time we tackled theimpacts of lower demand for our services. Despite the tough market environment,we reached many of the goals set for 2009. In addition to cutting costs andimproving the efficiency of our onshore operations, we increased our offshoringaccording to our plans. By the end of 2009, we had achieved the EUR 70 millionsavings target and our offshoring rate i.e. share of personnel in globaldelivery centres was at 30%. As a result of the work done in the past two years,Tieto is now a much stronger company and well positioned for the future."MARKET DEVELOPMENTThe Nordic IT services market relevant to Tieto is estimated to have shrunk byapproximately 5% in 2009. Polarization of the IT services market continuedthroughout the year. Project services were hit hard, while the outsourcingmarket remained active as companies' efforts to achieve cost savings and improveproductivity opened up new business opportunities.In 2009, demand for IT services was at a good level in the public, healthcareand welfare sectors, whereas the telecom sector, manufacturing industry and thefinance sector, especially in the UK, were challenging, with very low activityin new IT investments. Towards the end of 2009, there were some signs ofinterest towards investments in IT supporting growth and new business. However,the pick-up in activity will translate to growth with a delay.In the telecom sector, the market was especially difficult in 2009, but isbelieved to have bottomed out at the turn of 2010. On the other hand, there areno signs of fast, strong recovery. The importance of offshore production hasincreased as customers are shifting their core operations and decision-making toAsia, especially China and India.In the finance sector, the market was challenging in 2009 but started tostabilize towards the end of the year However, competition is fierce and costsavings are expected to remain an important criterion in IT spending decisions.Outsourcing is the main source of growth, especially in Sweden, but activity inthe products area has also picked up. In the Finnish finance sector, there isgrowing demand for innovative internet-based solutions supporting customermanagement. In the UK and Russia, the finance sector has remained challenging.Asian competitors have been present in the Nordic countries for some time,compelling European IT companies to accelerate offshore production. Adequateoffshore capability has become an increasingly vital competitive factor. Pricepressure remained hard during the year.The outsourcing market and the demand for new service models are expected toremain robust in 2010. The market for larger, new IT projects is expected topick up only during the second half of 2010.Market development by countryIn Finland, the outsourcing market continues to grow. There are also some signsof recovery in the project business, predicting growth for the second half of2010. Demand for IT services is expected to continue at a good level in theutilities, healthcare and welfare sectors, but in the public sector, the ITbudgets of ministries will be cut in 2010. In the utilities sector, automaticmeter reading is the key growth driver as smart meters must be installed in 80%of homes by 2013. In the finance and telecom sectors, the market is expected togradually recover during 2010.In Sweden, the IT market is stabilizing. New outsourcing-related opportunitieshave opened up, especially in the finance and public sectors. The number ofcustomer leads is growing, although price competition remains hard in agreementrenewals. In the manufacturing industry, there are as yet no signs of recovery.Outside Finland and Sweden, the recession has affected the IT marketsnegatively, but impacts vary country by country. In general, telecom is the mostaffected sector.Germany is hit hard by the recession. The markets for local automotive andtelecom R&D deteriorated during 2009 and demand for IT services in these sectorshas been weak. In 2010, outsourcing remains the growth area, as the economicsituation is forcing companies to improve the efficiency of their operations.The energy and healthcare sectors are expected to see positive development.In Norway, the local IT market slowed down in 2009 despite the fact that theeconomy has been hit less hard than other European markets. This trend is notexpected to turn around in the near future. Demand for IT in the oil & gasmarket is currently at a reasonable level. The finance market in Norway followsthe common industry trends, capital market solutions being the strongest area.BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS AND MAJOR AGREEMENTS IN JANUARY-DECEMBERIn June, the company divested its holding in TietoSaab Systems Oy, previouslyowned by Tieto (60%) and Saab (40%).

The biggest drop was seen in FinancialServices and the decline was mainly attributable to an exceptionally highcomparison figure for one major customer. On the whole, the finance business inFinland remained stable in the fourth quarter.

Operating profit amounted to EUR34.0 (28.3) million.In Sweden, net sales declined by 11%.

Telecom accounts for close to 40% of Tieto's net sales inSweden. Operating profit declined to EUR 7.9 (17.6) million, mainly due to lowernet sales. Due to streamlining actions, however, profitability improved from thefirst three quarters of 2009.In International, net sales declined by 9%, reflecting lower demand, especiallyin the telecom sector in Denmark and Germany and the finance sector in the UK.The company has restructured its international operations during the year,resulting in improved profitability.

Profitability improvedfrom the previous two quarters in 2009 as the company has steadily increased itsoffshore capabilities, but remained at an unsatisfactory level.In the finance sector, net sales fell by 15%. The biggest drop was in Finlandwhere the decline was mainly attributable to an exceptionally high comparisonfigure for one major customer. Net sales in the UK have continued to decline.Products for capital markets performed best, partly due to regulatory changes.Despite the decline in net sales, operating profit remained at the same level asin the corresponding quarter in 2008. This was attributable to the goodutilization rate and streamlining actions.In the industry sectors, net sales declined by 10%. Manufacturing was theweakest area during the quarter, but strong performance continued in the publicsector. Profitability in the industry sectors was overall at a healthy level.

The Board ofDirectors proposes a dividend of EUR 0.50 (0.50) per share for 2009. Theproposed dividend payout does not endanger the liquidity of the company.CHANGE OF NAMEThe 2009 AGM resolved to amend sections 1 and 10 of the company's Articles ofAssociation. As of 30 April, the company name has been Tieto Corporation (TietoOyj in Finnish and Tieto Abp in Swedish), and the new domicile Helsinki,Finland.EVENTS AFTER THE PERIODIn January, Tieto started the construction of a new, more energy-efficient datacentre in Espoo, Finland. It will go into operation towards the end of 2010. Theinvestments in 2009 and 2010 are expected to total around EUR 18 million.In January, Tieto was chosen as one of ten IT-suppliers by the Legal, Financialand Administrative Services Agency in Sweden, Kammarkollegiet. The frameworkagreements with the chosen suppliers cover IT management services in the publicsector and will affect all government agencies, 232 municipalities as well as19 county councils and regions.On 26 January, OP-Pohjola Group announced that its group holding in Tieto hasfallen to 4.14%.NEAR-TERM RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIESWeak demand for IT services might lead to lower utilization of resources, hardprice competition in new agreements and price erosion in general. Additionally,competition has become even more aggressive and adequate offshore capability hasbecome an increasingly vital competitive factor.If the company is not able to adjust its cost base fast enough to compensate fornegative changes in the market, its profitability will decline. However, thecompany foresees that the risks of further large-scale deterioration of the ITmarket situation have declined from 2009.Due to fewer starts of new large-scale projects, the company anticipates thatits project risks are relatively small. Furthermore, credit risks related toreceivables have declined.OUTLOOK FOR 2010The IT services market started to show some signs of stabilization towards theend of 2009, and Tieto anticipates that the markets have now bottomed out. In2010, Tieto expects its net sales to develop in line with the IT services marketrelevant to Tieto and its operating profit to be higher than in 2009.AuditingThe full-year figures in this report are audited.Financial calendar for 2010Annual Report 2009 on Tieto's website on 23 FebruaryAnnual General Meeting on 25 MarchFirst-quarter interim report on 27 AprilSecond-quarter interim report on 21 JulyThird-quarter interim report on 27 OctoberAccounting policiesTieto has reclassified all internal long-term loans to Swedish subsidiaries as anet investment in a foreign operation according to IAS 21. All relatedunrealized foreign exchange gains and losses from the net investment arerecognized directly in shareholders' equity.Tieto has prepared these financial statements following the same accountingpolicies as in the annual financial statements for 2008, with the exception ofthe abovementioned reclassification and the effect of changes required by theadoption of the following standards, interpretations and amendments on 1 January2009: * IAS 1 (revised), 'Presentation of Financial Statements' - effective 1 January 2009. The revised standard prohibits the presentation of items of income and expenses (that is, 'non-owner changes in equity') in the statement of changes in equity, requiring 'non-owner changes in equity' to be presented separately from owner changes in equity in a statement of comprehensive income. As a result, the Group presents all owner changes in equity in the consolidated statement of changes in equity, whereas all non-owner changes in equity are presented in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Comparative information has been re-presented so that it also is in conformity with the revised standard. The change in accounting policy only impacts presentation aspects. * IFRS 8, 'Operating Segments' - effective 1 January 2009. The new standard replaces IAS 14, 'Segment Reporting', and aligns segment reporting with the requirements of the US standard SFAS 131, 'Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information'. The new standard requires a 'management approach', under which segment information is presented on the same basis as that used for internal reporting purposes. Tieto adopted a new financial reporting structure at the beginning of 2009. The countries are the main operating segments and reporting covers Finland, Sweden and International. The segments are reported in a manner that is consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The new standard requires some additional disclosures. Deviating from the standard, Tieto will start to report the Group's net sales by products and services in 2011. * IAS 23 (Revised), 'Borrowing Costs' effective 1 January 2009. The revised standard changes the accounting policy in respect of borrowing costs relating to qualifying assets for which the commencement date for capitalisation is on or after 1 January 2009. The borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset shall be capitalized as part of the cost of that asset. Previously all borrowing costs could be recognized as an expense immediately. The revised standard does not have an impact on the Group's financial statements as Tieto has on average a net credit position in contract activities. * IFRIC 11, 'IFRS 2 - Group and Treasury Share Transactions'. This interpretation does not have any impact on the Group's financial statements. * IFRIC 13, 'Customer Loyalty Programmes'. This interpretation does not have any impact on the Group's financial statements. * IFRIC 14, IAS 19 - 'The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interaction'. This interpretation is not relevant to the Group's operations. * IFRS 2 (Amendment), 'Share-based Payment' - vesting conditions and cancellations. The amendment does not have any impact on the Group's financial statements. * IAS 1 and 32 (Amendments), 'Financial Instruments Puttable at Fair Value and Obligations Arising on Liquidation'. The amendment does not have any impact on the Group's financial statements.- IFRS 1 and IAS 27 (Amendments) 'Cost of an Investment in a Subsidiary, JointlyControlled Entity or Associate in Adoption of IFRS'. The amendment does not haveany impact on the Group's financial statements, as the Group is not a first-timeadopter of IFRS. * IAS 39 (Amendment), 'Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement - Eligible Hedged Items'. The amendment does not have any impact on the Group's financial statements. * IFRS 7 (Amendment), 'Financial Instruments - Disclosures'. The amendment requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurement and liquidity risk. In particular, the amendment requires disclosure of fair value measurements in terms of levels of a fair value measurement hierarchy. The change in accounting policy only results in additional disclosures in the financial statements.IASB published changes to 34 standards in May 2008 as part of the annualImprovements to IFRSs project. The amendments do not have any material impact onthe Group's financial statements. * IAS 1 (Amendment), 'Presentation of Financial Statements'. * IAS 16 and IAS 7(Amendments), 'Renting and Subsequent Selling of Assets'. * IAS 19 (Amendment), 'Employee Benefits'. * IAS 20 (Amendment), 'Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance'. * IAS 23 (Amendment), 'Borrowing Costs'. * IAS 27 (Amendment), 'Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements'. * IAS 28 (Amendments), 'Investments in Associates'. * IAS 31 (Amendment), 'Interests in Joint Ventures'. * IAS 36 (Amendment), 'Impairment of Assets'. * IAS 38 (Amendments), 'Intangible Assets'. * IAS 40 and IAS 16 (Amendments), 'Classification of Property'. * IAS 41 (Amendment), 'Agriculture'.The Group will apply following revised standards prospectively from 1 January2010: * IAS 27 (Revised), 'Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements'. The revised standard requires the effects of all transactions with non-controlling interests to be recorded in equity if there is no change in control and these transactions will no longer result in goodwill or gains and losses. The standard also specifies the accounting when control is lost. Any remaining interest in the entity is remeasured to fair value and a gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss. * IFRS 3 (Revised), 'Business Combinations'. The revised standard continues to apply the acquisition method to business combinations, with some significant changes. For example, all payments to purchase a business are to be recorded at fair value at the acquisition date, with some contingent payments classified as debt subsequently re-measured through the income statement. There is a choice on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis to measure the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the acquiree's net assets. All acquisition-related costs should be expensed.In addition to the new standards and interpretations presented in the annualfinancial statements for 2008, the following amended standards andinterpretations issued during the year 2009 will be adopted by the Group in2010 and the management is assessing the impact on the financial statements ofthe Group: 1) * IFRIC 18, 'Transfers of Assets from Customers'. * IFRIC 9 (Amendment) 'Reassessment of Embedded Derivatives' and IAS 39, 'Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement' (Amendment) - Embedded Derivatives. * IFRS 2 (Amendment), 'Share-based Payment' - Group Cash-settled Share-based Payment Transactions. * IFRS 1 (Amendment), 'First-time Adoption of Financial Instruments' - Additional Exemptions for First-time AdoptersIASB published changes to 12 standards or interpretations in April 2009 as partof the annual Improvements to IFRSs project. 1) * IFRS 2 (Amendment), 'Share-based Payment'. * IFRS 5 (Amendment), 'Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations'. * IFRS 8 (Amendment), 'Operating Segments'. * IAS 1 (Amendment), 'Presentation of Financial Statements'. * IAS 7 (Amendment), 'Statement of Cash Flows'. * IAS 17 (Amendment), 'Leases'. * IAS 18 (Amendment), 'Revenue'. * IAS 36 (Amendment), 'Impairment of Assets'. * IAS 38 (Amendments), 'Intangible Assets'. * IAS 39 (Amendments), 'Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement'. * IFRIC 9 (Amendment), 'Reassessment of Embedded Derivatives'. * IFRIC 16 (Amendment), 'Hedges of a Net Investment in a Foreign Operation'.The following standards, interpretations and amendments will be adopted in 2011or later and the management is assessing the impact of this interpretation onthe financial statements of the Group: 1) * IAS 32 (Amendment), 'Financial Instruments: Presentation' - Classification of Rights Issues. * IAS 24 (Amendment), 'Related Party Disclosures'. * IFRIC 19, 'Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments'. * IFRS 9, 'Financial Instruments', which represents the first milestone in the IASB's planned replacement of IAS 39.1) The standard, interpretation or amendment to published standard orinterpretation is still subject to endorsement by the European Union.The accounting policies will be described in more detail in the annual financialstatements for the year ended 31 December 2009.+--------------------------------------+-----+-----+-----+-----+----+----+-----+|Key figures | 2009| 2008| 2009| 2009|2009|2009|
