The significant agreements won during the quarter well demonstrate our competitiveness and support our growth ambition. Our aim is to help customers renew their business: to provide truly innovative services and to constantly increase operational efficiency. As part of our renewed strategy, we adopted a new operating structure in July. While we transitioned to a new operating model and experienced temporarily lower efficiency, I am pleased how swiftly this was addressed. We believe that the new strategy combined with targeted investments will accelerate our performance and help us achieve our long-term financial objectives. To further strengthen our position in the attractive financial services market, we are pleased to have completed the acquisition of Emric, the Nordic market leader in software and services for credit processing. We are happy to welcome our new colleagues to join Tieto to accelerate our customers’ business renewal. I believe that our existing investments, close co-innovation with our customers and continuous productivity improvements will provide us with a good basis for competitiveness and value creation in the future as well.” Financial performance by service line +-------------------+---------+---------+-------+---------+---------+ |EUR million | Customer| Customer|Change,|Operating|Operating| | |sales
