1 (35) Nokian Tyres Plc Financial Statement Release 2020, February 1 (35) Nokian Tyres plc Financial Statement Release 2020, February 9, 2021 at 2:00 p.m. Nokian Tyres plc Financial Statement Release 2020: Good performance in an unprecedented market environment October–December 2020 Net sales were EUR 413.4 million (474.8 in October−December 2019). With comparable currencies, net sales decreased by 7.1%. Segments operating profit was EUR 80.1 million (106.8), with negative currency impact. Operating profit was EUR 71.4 million (101.0). Segments earnings per share were EUR 0.44 (0.63). Earnings per share were EUR 0.40 (0.58). Cash flow from operating activities was EUR 429.0 million (398.2). January–December 2020 Net sales were EUR 1,313.8 million (1,585.4 in 2019). With comparable currencies, net sales decreased by 13.3% especially due to COVID-19, measures taken to reduce carry-over stocks in the Russian distribution channel, and mild winter 2019−2020 in all main markets. Segments operating profit was EUR 190.2 million (337.2). The decline was driven by lower volumes, underabsorption of factory costs and currencies. EUR -70.2 million (-20.8) was booked as non-IFRS exclusions. Operating profit was EUR 120.0 million (316.5). Segments earnings per share were EUR 1.04 (3.06; positively impacted by EUR 1.08 related to the rulings on the tax disputes). Earnings per share were EUR 0.62 (2.89; positively impacted by EUR 1.08 related to the rulings on the tax disputes). Cash flow from operating activities was EUR 422.4 million (219.8). In March 2020, the Board of Directors withdrew the company’s financial guidance for 2020 due to the COVID-19 outbreak, which increased the uncertainty in the car and tire market. The Board of Directors proposes a dividend of EUR 1.20 (1.14) per share for the financial year 2020 to be paid in two instalments. Guidance for 2021 In 2021, Nokian Tyres’ net sales with comparable currencies and segments operating profit are expected to grow significantly. The global car and tire demand is expected to pick up, but the COVID-19 pandemic continues to cause uncertainties for the development. Jukka Moisio, President and CEO: “Our October-December 2020 sales continued to be impacted by COVID-19 as restrictions were again tightened in many countries. Passenger Car Tyres’ net sales were also negatively impacted by a delayed winter season in main markets. Heavy Tyres and Vianor continued to perform well considering the volatile market. Segments operating profit declined mainly due to the lower passenger car tire volumes. I am extremely proud of how our team responded to the challenges in 2020. We have demonstrated the resilience of our company. Our focus has been on serving demand, safeguarding supply and reducing costs. In Russia, we successfully achieved our target to lower distribution channel inventories in line with the plan. The cash flow was significantly better than in the previous year, and we maintained a strong balance sheet. At the same time, we have progressed on our key projects to support the company’s long-term growth. We began commercial tire production in the US factory and are completing our new test Nokian Tyres Financial Statement Release 2020 2 (35) center in Spain. The project to increase Heavy Tyres’ capacity in Finland is proceeding as planned. These investments, together with innovative new products and robust sales and marketing efforts, will provide an excellent foundation to capture profitable growth opportunities as we move forward. In 2020, we continued to take important steps forward in our sustainability journey. We got our ambitious greenhouse gas emissions targets approved by the Science Based Targets initiative as the first tire company in the industry. We had a good development also in occupational safety, with LTIF dropping from 4.3 to 3.7. However, the work continues, as even a single accident is one too many. We are starting 2021 in a good position. We will drive growth through new product launches, and improvements in go-to-market activities. Cash flow will continue to be in focus, with prioritized investments on a lower level compared to previous years. In the coming months, we will review our strategy to continue to deliver positive long-term results to our stakeholders.” Nokian Tyres Financial Statement Release 2020 3 (35) Key figures CC* CC* EUR million 10–12/20 10–12/19 Change Change 2020 2019 Change Change Net sales 413.4 474.8 -12.9% -7.1% 1,313.8 1,585.4 -17.1% -13.3% Operating profit 71.4 101.0 120.0 316.5 Operating profit % 17.3% 21.3% 9.1% 19.8% Profit before tax 70.9 95.1 106.0 336.7 Profit for the period 55.9 81.1 86.0 399.9 EPS, EUR** 0.40 0.58 0.62 2.89 Segments operating profit 80.1 106.8 190.2 337.2 Segments operating profit % 19.4% 22.5% 14.5% 21.3% Segments EPS, EUR** 0.44 0.63 1.04 3.06 Segments ROCE, % 9.3% 18.6% Equity ratio, % 65.3% 75.9% Cash flow from operating 429.0 398.2 422.4 219.8 activities Gearing, % -1.1% 2.3% Interest-bearing -17.2 41.1 net debt Capital expenditure 31.6 65.4 149.9 290.1 * Comparable currencies ** EPS 2019 excl. the impact of the rulings on the tax disputes of EUR 1.08 were EUR 1.81.

Opinnäytetyö tehtiin Nokian Renkaille ja se oli osa vuonna 2014 aloitettua renkaan jäl- jitettävyys- ja virheenestoprojektia. Projektin aluksi selvitettiin jäljitettävyyden nykytila, jonka pohjalta järjestelmän konseptointi aloitettiin. Konseptoinnin tavoitteena oli selvit- tää rengasaihion viivakooditarran luentaan tarvittava laitteisto ja tutkia sitä, millaisia muutoksia olemassa olevaan aihion viivakooditarraan pitää tehdä hyvän lukuvarmuuden takaamiseksi. Viivakoodinlukujärjestelmä hankittiin konseptoinnin perusteella ja viivakooditarraan tehtiin tarvittavat muutokset. Järjestelmän valinnassa selvitettiin eri valmistajien viiva- koodikameroiden ominaisuudet ja niiden soveltuvuus Nokian Renkaiden tuotantopro- sessiin. Valinta käytettävästä järjestelmästä tehtiin painotettua pisteytystä käyttäen. Eri järjestelmät erosivat teknisiltä ominaisuuksiltaan hyvin vähän, ja valinnassa otettiin huomioon myös muita ominaisuuksia, kuten hinta, takuu ja toimittajasuhde. Työssä tarkastellaan renkaan jäljitettävyyttä ja siihen liittyviä lakeja sekä

  • Nokian Tyres Q1 2021 Release EN
    1 (25) Nokian Tyres plc Interim Report January–March 2021, May 4, 2021 at 2:00 p.m. Nokian Tyres plc Interim Report January–March 2021: Strong volume growth in all markets, demand recovering January–March 2021 Net sales were EUR 341.8 million (279.8 in January−March 2020) and grew by 22.1%. With comparable currencies, net sales increased by 28.5%. Segments operating profit was EUR 50.3 million (16.3), with negative currency impact of approximately EUR 10 million. Operating profit was EUR 44.3 million (9.0). Segments earnings per share were EUR 0.29 (0.09). Earnings per share were EUR 0.26 (0.02). Cash flow from operating activities was EUR -24.4 million (-38.9). Guidance for 2021 In 2021, Nokian Tyres’ net sales with comparable currencies and segments operating profit are expected to grow significantly. The global car and tire demand is expected to pick up, but the COVID-19 pandemic continues to cause uncertainties for the development. Jukka Moisio, President and CEO: “Demand for replacement tires has recovered rapidly since the end of 2020. In the first quarter, we reached an all-time high sales volume. Thanks to a great performance by all our business units and business areas, net sales increased by 28.5% with comparable currencies. Segments operating profit grew substantially driven by higher sales volume. In Passenger Car Tyres, volume growth was particularly strong in Russia as we gained market share especially in summer tires. On the other hand, a weak Russian ruble together with the higher share of Russian volume had a significant negative impact on the average sales price.
