Business model and operating environment
Megatrends
Our operating environment is in a state of constant flux
– cities are getting denser, climate change is accelerat-
ing, and increasing digitalisation is reshaping the world
around us.
Denser cities
Finland’s population is ageing as a result of both in-
creased life expectancy and a rapid decline in the birth
rate. This will change the outlook for regions that were
previously forecast to be growth centres. Only the larg-
est cities – Helsinki, Tampere and Turku – are expected
to see substantial growth by 2040.
More than 70% of Finns live in urban areas, in which
80% of our GDP is generated. More and more of us want
to live in cities, as urban life is perceived to be easier
thanks to the availability of jobs, services and public
transport.
The need to mitigate climate change and adopt
more energy-efficient lifestyles is also steering us to-
wards denser housing. New construction and renovation
offer us the opportunity to develop our urban structure
in a more sustainable direction, for example, by choosing
renewable energy for properties. New construction and
renovation will also meet the new spatial requirements
of denser cities, such as the need for hybrid offices
and more versatile homes that has been created by an
increase in remote working.
Local nature and green areas will be more important
than ever in denser cities. Diverse urban nature, such as
parks or garden decks, increases residents’ well-being
and helps to maintain biodiversity in denser urban areas.
Cities are growing and developing near good transport
connections. Public transport, combined with walking
and cycling, enables smooth and ecological daily life in
urban areas.
Finland’s rate of urbanisation is expected to rise
from 73 per cent in 2020 to 79 per cent in 2050. We
need to find homes for everyone in the city, and the best
solution is often new and supplementary construction.
Accelerating climate change
The physical impacts of climate change and a scarcity
of natural resources can be seen throughout the world.
It is clear that mitigating and adapting to climate change
requires action to be taken in the construction and real
estate sector. Properties must be sustainable from many
perspectives – from people’s well-being, energy effi-
ciency and the circular economy to the retention of their
economic value.
The construction and real estate sector is responsi-
ble for 35 per cent of Finland’s energy consumption, and
the majority of emissions from buildings are generated
by consumption during occupancy. There is, therefore,
a great need to improve energy efficiency and harness
renewable energy. New construction enables new ways

OF OUR STRATEGY
of recycling and storing energy. Comprehensive regional
solutions also help to optimise overall energy manage-
ment.
The circular economy is another effective means of
curbing the climatic impacts of construction. Choosing
low-emission or recycled building materials can reduce
the carbon footprint of a building. However, the growing
market for renovation is bringing existing building stock
closer to a sustainable level.
Climate change is causing an increase in extreme
weather conditions and phenomena. Storm-related wind
damage in Finland is predicted to increase as the climate
warms, because the frost season will be shorter and pre-
cipitation will increasingly be in the form of rain rather
than snow. Preparing for extreme conditions will require
the construction sector to take action, in order to guar-
antee the long-term preservation of property values.
Increasing digitalisation
Digitalisation continues to evolve, reshaping both society
in general and the construction and real estate sector.
Digitalisation creates opportunities and provides solu-
tions for the construction industry: from project plan-
ning to streamlining the construction process, and from
renewable practices to property services while buildings
are occupied.
Data collection and utilisation are growing rapidly.
By continuously collecting data, we can obtain a re-

al-time situational picture during the design, construc-
tion and occupancy stages of a building’s lifecycle. For
example, data about indoor conditions can be collected
with the aid of sensors while a property is occupied.
This data can then be used to control and optimise both
indoor conditions and energy consumption.
Digitalisation provides solutions for things such as
scheduling and information flow, which makes project
management more efficient and helps to streamline the
construction process. For example, building information
models promote information flow throughout the project,
and can be used to view plans, calculate quantities, and
inspect and illustrate plans.
The solutions brought by digitalisation have
increased the use of various services in our daily lives
– services that improve housing, mobility and premises
usage. For example, the sharing economy has become
more widespread as a result of digitalisation: if you
live in the city, you no longer need your own car, bike
or e-scooter, as a variety of apps makes it easy to use
shared vehicles.
Markets
The Finnish economy saw brisk growth in early 2022 as
the coronavirus pandemic loosened its grip. Russia’s war
against Ukraine weakened the outlook for the economy
and the good growth of the Finnish economy slackened
towards the end of the year. The Finnish economy grew
by 1.9 per cent in 2022 and is forecast to contract by 0.5
per cent in 2023. However, the mild recession is ex-
pected to remain brief, with the economy recovering to
growth of 1.1 per cent in 2024. (Source: Bank of Finland)
The energy crisis triggered by Russia’s war of
aggression and broad-based inflation caused consumer
prices to soar in 2022. Year-on-year change in con-
sumer prices was 9.1 per cent in December and average
inflation in 2022 amounted to 7.1 per cent. Private con-
sumption grew in 2022, but inflation and rising interest
rates will cut into private consumption in the next few
years. The labour market was in good shape in 2022.
The weakening economy poses a challenge to the labour
market and it is expected that the unemployment rate
will rise temporarily. (Source: Bank of Finland)
Consumer confidence plummeted immediately
when Russia invaded Ukraine. The balance figure for the
consumer confidence indicator was -18.5 in December,
while it was -1.7 in January 2022. The figure for De-
cember is the worst recorded in the 1995–2022 period.
Consumers’ views on the Finnish economy and their own
finances are gloomy – they are especially worried about
high inflation. (Source: Statistics Finland)
Urbanisation in Finland has maintained demand for
both housing and business construction, especially in
growth centres. The number of building permits began
to decline at the end of 2021, and the outbreak of war in
early spring 2022 further weakened the outlook for con-
struction. The robust order backlog for 2021 maintained
growth in construction in 2022. However, construction
is expected to decline by 2–5 per cent in 2023. (Source:
Confederation of Finnish Construction Industries RT and
Forecon)
Russia’s war of aggression and the consequent
Russian sanctions and ending of Ukrainian material
deliveries caused problems with the availability of cer-
tain materials and increases in the prices of materials
in spring 2022. As the Russian supply of natural gas to
Europe declined in the summer and finally ceased, the
price of energy rose substantially in Finland and the rest
of Europe, causing additional pressures on rising material
prices. Towards the end of 2022, the rate of growth in
material costs slowed down and the availability problems
lessened.
In 2022, the intentions of households to buy a resi-
dential unit declined significantly due to reasons such as
higher interest rates and weaker purchasing power. The
pace of housing construction slowed down from its 2021
peak, and approximately 41,000 units were started up in
2022. It is expected that around 34-36,000 residential
units will be started in 2023. Business construction con-
tinued to grow in 2022, driven by industrial and energy in-
vestments. However, uncertainty and high costs hamper
tender operations, and business construction will begin
to decline this year. (Source: Confederation of Finnish
Construction Industries RT and Forecon)
2022 got off to a strong start in the Finnish real
estate market, with a wide variety of trading in differ-
ent sectors. Russia’s war against Ukraine, accelerating
inflation and rising interest rates muted sales of real
estate and contributed to the growth in yield require-
ments in all segments. Trading volumes are expected to
keep slackening in early 2023. Investors will most likely
remain primarily interested in targets with strong cash
flows, such as housing and public services premises.

Value creation
SRV’s operations have significant and lasting impacts on
surrounding society. The greatest impact comes from
the buildings and infrastructure that SRV builds, as they
will last for decades if not centuries. Sustainable design
and implementation therefore have a fundamental im-
pact on mitigating and adapting to climate change.

Part of report of the the Board of Directors
SRV serves customers in matters such as the
choice of construction site, site development, man-
agement of land use, specifying space needs, project
budgeting and acquiring funding.
SRV’s management system
SRV’s management system describes ways of working
at SRV, and our value creation model is built around it.
The model is based on interviews with customers, inves-
tors, financiers, policy-makers and influencers.
SRV’s goal is to be a sought-after partner with
whom meaningful, value-creating projects can be
implemented more extensively within our society. Our
management system can be used as a tool when moving
operations between units and functions. It takes into
account all kinds of capital (social, financial, human,
intellectual and natural) and presents a broad range of
inputs, outputs and impacts to our stakeholders.
The way in which SRV creates value for its stake-
holders is encapsulated in our customer promise – “By
listening, we build wisely” – and how we put it into
practice. The promise includes “I always ask first”, which
describes our principle of listening to the needs of our
stakeholders. We are continuously providing internal
training on how to work in accordance with our custom-
er promise, and we measure our success in this area
with customer satisfaction surveys.
Our capital
Capital management is an essential element of project
value formation. The most important types of capital at
SRV are social, financial, human, intellectual and natural
capital.
The key areas of our social capital are personnel,
stakeholder relationships with cities, investors and the
local environment, our employer image and partner-
ships, and ethical principles.
Our financial capital consists of our own and
external financing, plus our holdings. In the context of
financial capital, manufactured capital refers to capital
created by people.
With respect to human capital, the following as-
pects are particularly important: customer expertise,
interaction, design and zoning expertise, management
of the supplier pool and management expertise. The
most important types of intellectual capital are our
management system, the SRV Network Register, our
references, brand, corporate culture, concepts and
operating models.
We utilise natural capital through, for example,
land use and natural raw materials.
Our output and impact
The positive impacts of SRV’s business are sustainable
living environments that can adapt to change, stand
the test of time, and retain their value.
A safe working environment is a prerequisite for
our business, and we cooperate with all parties in the
value chain to promote a good safety culture.
We offer long-term partnerships, and work with
our partners in accordance with our values and Code
of Conduct.
SRV’s lifecycle-wise strategy takes a firm stand on
the role that business plays in mitigating and adapting
to climate change. In addition to reducing emissions
from our construction sites and own energy procure-
ment, we are committed to offsetting any resulting
emissions with climate action.
BY LISTENING,
WE BUILD WISELY

Segment reporting
SRV’s business is divided into the Construction
segment and the Investments segment.
The Construction segment covers all of SRV’s construc-
tion activities including the capital and plots required
for developer-contracted housing production. It is SRV’s
intention to develop, build and sell these plots to a faster
schedule than those we report on in the Investments
segment. Construction encompasses housing construc-
tion, business construction, infrastructure construction,
project development, technical units and procurement,
as well as internal services. Operationally, Construction
is divided into four business units:
1) Regional Units,
2) Housing, Helsinki Metropolitan Area,
3) Business Premises, Helsinki Metropolitan Area and
4) construction within Operations in Russia and Estonia,
in which construction projects are no longer ongoing
or planned.
The Investments segment encompasses both
complete and incomplete sites in which the company is
a long-term investor. Plots that SRV will develop itself,
and whose expected profits will be generated through
development and long-term ownership, are also reported
on under Investments. The Investments segment focuses
on the management and realisation of the Group’s real
estate investments; the creation and ownership of new
joint investment structures; and the operation of prop-
erties. Previously, the bulk of the Investments segment’s
capital employed was committed in Russia. These invest-
ments were almost entirely written down in April 2022. In
November 2022, SRV sold its holding in the Okhta Mall
shopping centre in St Petersburg. Following this sale, SRV

associated companies. In addition, SRV owns one plot in
Russia. The company is actively continuing to engage in
negotiations aiming at the sale of its remaining Russian
assets in order to completely exit its business there.
Other operations and eliminations includes the
parent company’s (SRV Group Plc) strategic project de-
velopment, finance and financing, HR, legal affairs, com-
munications and marketing, information management,
business development, strategy and risk management.
Group eliminations are also included in this unit.
Construction
SRV provides efficient, top-quality and end-to-end
project management contracting and construction
services for both its own and its customers’ devel-
opment projects. This segment focuses on housing,
business and infrastructure construction in selected
urban growth centres in Finland, as per the company’s
strategy. It is also responsible for sales of develop-
er-contracted housing projects, services for residents,
leasing of premises in business development projects,
and the lifecycle maintenance of business properties.
One of Construction’s main objectives is to enhance
the profitability of SRV’s business, taking lifecycle-wise
construction into consideration, and provide an excel-
lent customer experience as a professional in project
management and production implementation. Oper-
ations are built on the SRV Approach, which is based
on in-depth understanding of customer needs and a
transparent cooperative operating model. The SRV
Approach also revolves around the efficient implemen-
tation of projects in collaboration with our extensive
network of professional partners.

January-December 2022
Construction’s revenue declined to EUR 746.3 million
(930.1 1-12/2021). Revenue declined in both housing and
business construction. The decline in housing construc-
tion was affected particularly by the recognition of the
Redi Loisto tower building as income in the compari-
son period. Revenue from business construction was
down particularly in development projects, in which the
revenue for the comparison period was increased by the
construction of the Tampere Arena.
Construction’s operating profit rose to EUR 23.3
(14.1) million. The Construction segment’s operating profit
improved in both housing and business construction.
The higher volume of housing contracting carried out as
development projects contributed to growth in hous-
ing construction. The margin in business construction
improved in spite of the decline in volume. In addition, the
comparison period was burdened by the losses of the

(588.6) million were recognised in the order backlog in
January–December.
Construction’s capital employed totalled EUR 212.4
million (195.8 12/2021).
Housing construction
In accordance with SRV’s strategy, the company’s
housing construction mainly consists of residential
development projects and developer-contracted hous-
ing projects in Finland’s strongest growth centres, and
particularly in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area. In addition,

January-December 2022
Revenue from housing construction decreased to EUR
319.0 (348.8) million due to the lower volume of devel-
opment projects. The volume of development projects
has grown, while the volume of developer-contracted
housing projects has declined due to the recognition of
the Redi Loisto tower building as income in the compar-
ison period. 210 (368) developer-contracted residential
units were completed during the review period, and 196
(453) were recognised as income during the period. The
order backlog for housing construction stood at EUR
154.7 (364.0) million.
Housing under construction and under development
At the end of December, SRV had a total of 1,360 (2,085)
residential units under construction in Finland, mostly
in growth centres. There were 85 (210) developer-con-
tracted residential units under construction. SRV began
the construction of 85 new developer-contracted
residential units in Pasila, Helsinki, and Aviapolis, Vantaa
during the review period.
Developer-contracted residential units are only rec-
ognised as income on completion, and only to the extent
that they have been sold, after an average construction
period of about 18 months. At the end of December, a
total of 1,170 (1,648) units were under construction for in-
vestors, mainly in Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa and Tampere.

April 2020 for Kojamo. It was completed in August 2022.
The project was handed over to the client in phases in
summer 2022 – floors 1–13 in June and floors 14–31 in
August. In December 2021, SRV signed a EUR 101 million
agreement with PATRIZIA to build Visio, the fourth tower
building in Kalasatama. Construction was started and
the project was entered in the order backlog in the first
quarter of 2022. Visio reached its rooftop height in Sep-
tember 2022.
SRV focuses on residential project development
in urban growth centres. SRV is currently developing
housing construction projects in areas such as Kiven-
lahti, Espoonlahti, Kaitaa, Vermonniitty, Säterinkallio and
Keilaniemi in Espoo and Lapinmäentie and Jätkäsaari in
Helsinki.

in Vantaa, Kaleva in Tampere and the centre of Kaarina.
At the end of December, 23 (9) completed apartments
remained unsold. A total of 32 (409) developer-con-
tracted residential units were sold during January–
December.
In January-December, 196 (453) developer-con-
tracted residential units were recognised as income,
generating total revenue of EUR 48.4 (161.3) million.
Business and infrastructure construction
In accordance with SRV’s strategy, the company’s busi-
ness construction mainly consists of project manage-
ment contracts and alliance projects for external clients,
lifecycle projects, and SRV’s own development projects.
In addition to the basic profit margin, alliance projects
offer the potential for extra earnings if the targets set for
Business and infrastructure projects under
construction and under development
Major ongoing business and infrastructure construction
projects include the Helsinki Airport’s Terminal 2 exten-
sion and alteration project, which is being implemented
under an alliance model and has progressed to its final
phase, the basic renovation of the Finnish National The-
atre and the operating theatres at HUS Jorvi Hospital,
and the Matinkylä upper secondary school in Espoo. SRV
is also currently carrying out the Culture Barracks basic
renovation in Helsinki. In addition, SRV is currently build-
ing WithSecure’s new headquarters in Helsinki, a fibre
mill for Woodspin in Jyväskylä, the Wintteri education
and wellness campus in Uusikaupunki, the Lamminrahka
school centre in Kangasala, the Helsinki Upper Second-
ary School of Natural Sciences, the Hovirinta school in
Kaarina, business premises for Senate Properties, the
Oulu Central Police Station and Prison, a basic renova-
tion project for Lahti City Hall, the Satama Arena event
centre in Kotka, a multipurpose hall for Rauma Marine
Constructions and the Helsinki Upper Secondary School
of Languages, which is being implemented as a lifecycle
project.
SRV’s project development is developing a diverse
range of business premises, such as offices, hotels,
logistics centres and retail premises in Finland’s strong-
est urban centres. Examples of major projects currently
under development in the Greater Helsinki area include
the Horisontti office tower in Kalasatama, Tower A (aka
Pohjola Building) on Lapinmäentie, the Pressi office
and logistics area in Vantaankoski, the metro centre in
Kivenlahti, and Bunkkeri in Jätkäsaari. Bunkkeri is being
planned to be turned into a 13-storey landmark with
versatile sports facilities, a swimming pool, and about
300 apartments.

the project are achieved. Project management contracts
are based either on a target price and guaranteed max-
imum price or a target budget. Like alliance projects,
they offer the potential for extra earnings. In lifecycle
projects, SRV is responsible for both the construction of
the building and, for a separate service charge, also the
property’s maintenance for an agreed service period.
A business development project is a project that is de-
veloped by SRV, but which is sold to an investor before
construction begins. SRV bears the risks involved in both
the construction and leasing of such projects.
January-December 2022
Revenue from business construction decreased to EUR
427.3 (581.4) million and the order backlog grew to EUR
684.0 (508.3) million. This was because large projects
completed at the end of last year were removed from the
order backlog.

Part of report of the the Board of Directors
Completed business and infrastructure projects
In January-December, SRV completed the basic
renovation of Snellmania in Kruununhaka, Helsinki for
Helsinki University Properties, the Pressi B Building for
Julius Tallberg Real Estate Corporation in Vantaankoski,
Vantaa, the Jousenkaari School in Espoo, new premises
for the Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority (STUK)
in Vantaa, the Siuntio education and wellness cam-
pus, which was implemented as a lifecycle project, the
Espoonlahti metro station, concrete structures for a fuel
field at the bioheating plant in Vuosaari, the Kirkkonum-
mi wellness centre, HUS Bridge Hospital in Helsinki, and
the new Espoo Courthouse in Otaniemi.
Investments
SRV’s investments focus on the management and
realisation of the Group’s real estate investments; the
creation and ownership of new joint investment struc-
tures; and the operation of selected properties. Invest-
ments’ key objectives are to increase SRV’s financing
capacity with the aid of joint financing structures;
harness the value chains created by projects more
extensively through longer-term ownership; diversify
capital risk; and generate positive cash flow over the
longer term. Previously, the bulk of the Investments
segment’s capital employed was committed in Russia.
These investments were almost entirely written down
in April 2022.
January-December 2022
Investments’ revenue was EUR 9.9 (6.8) million.
Investments’ operative operating profit amounted
to EUR 0.5 (-4.6) million, affected by capital gains from
the sale of a commercial centre in Porvoo.
Investments’ operating profit was EUR -109.3 (-11.6)
million. Operating profit was impacted by substantial
write-downs of assets in Russia and the Fennovoima
holding, which had a total impact of EUR -92.5 million.
After the write-downs, the total value of SRV’s holdings in
Russia amounts to EUR 3.0 million. In addition, operating
profit was affected by the net impact of the change in the
exchange rate of the rouble, which was recognised prior
to the asset write-downs and amounted to EUR 7.3 (1.5)
million. The exchange rate impact, which largely had no
effect on cash flow, was caused by the valuation of the eu-
ro-denominated loans of Russian associated companies

SRV sold its holding in the Okhta Mall shopping centre
in Russia for EUR 4.3 million. Profits from the disposal of
assets in Russia totalled EUR 6.3 million. The transaction
had no impact on operative operating profit. In addition,

downs of Russia-related investments. The amount of
capital employed remaining in Russia was EUR 3.0 mil-
lion. The remainder of capital employed mainly compris-
es investments in the Tampere Central Deck and Arena
project.
The return on investment was -118.3 (-16.4) per cent.
Return on investment was impacted primarily by write-
downs of assets in Russia.
Progress in SRV’s exit from Russian operations and
holdings
When Russia invaded Ukraine in February, SRV decid-
ed to exit its businesses and holdings in Russia on an
accelerated schedule. In April, due to the impairment
of Russian business functions as a result of the coun-
try’s invasion of Ukraine and the consequent economic
sanctions, SRV wrote down the balance sheet values of
practically all of its shopping centres and other holdings
in Russia and its holding in Fennovoima. The company
announced an extensive action programme to restruc-
ture its balance sheet in order to bolster equity. The
overall arrangement consisted of the partial repurchase
of previously issued notes and the amendment of the
terms of the remaining notes to convert them to hybrid
bonds, the conversion of old hybrid bonds to shares,
the extension of our revolving credit facility and project
financing facility, and a rights issue. This action pro-
gramme was successfully completed in June–July. As a
result of this financing arrangement, SRV’s equity ratio
exceeded its pre-war level and the company is now prac-
tically net debt-free.
In November, SRV and its Finnish co-investors sold
their holdings in Jupiter Realty 1 B.V., the company that
owns the Okhta Mall shopping centre in St Petersburg, to
the Cyprus-based property investor Geomare Invest-
ments Limited. After this divestment, SRV is a co-in-
vestor in two Russian shopping centre projects – Pearl
Plaza and 4Daily – through its associated companies. In
addition, SRV owns one plot in Russia. SRV is actively
continuing to engage in negotiations aiming at the sale of
its remaining Russian assets.
Other holdings
SRV owns 5 per cent of Tampere Arena and has an 8.33
per cent holding in other Tampere Central Deck and
Arena projects. The commercial property SRV owned
at Ratsumestarinkatu 6 in Porvoo was sold during the
second quarter.

STAKEHOLDERS'S EXPECTATIONS
Stakeholder cooperation
SRV’s business has significant social impacts. It is
increasingly important for stakeholders that, in addition
to seeking profit, companies also have objectives with
a positive social impact. We have identified our most
significant stakeholders and their expectations of SRV.
During the year, we kept our shareholders and in-
stitutional investors informed by way of interim reports,
stock exchange releases and investor news, and also
through our website at www.srv.fi/en/investors. SRV
Group Plc’s Annual General Meeting 2022 was held on
28 March 2022 and an Extraordinary General Meeting
was held on 30 May 2022. SRV’s representatives were
also in contact with investors, media representatives
and analysts via remote interim report events. Investors’
sustainability-related inquiries concerned issues such
as taxonomy alignment and the concrete implementa-
tion of project responsibility at construction site level.
During the year, we provided media representatives
with information about many issues related to our pro-
jects and the construction industry in general, and we
also actively contacted the media to highlight the social
impact of our projects.
We continued to systematically listen to our cus-
tomers throughout the year at regular meetings, meet-
ings held as part of project processes, and through our
standard customer satisfaction surveys. The customer
experience appears in our strategy as a major theme
alongside lifecycle wisdom; and our customer promise
– “By listening, we build wisely” – combines our lifecy-
cle-wise strategy with our asking- and listening-based
operating model. In 2022, we focused on strengthening

the sector. SRV’s management regularly meets with a
number of city boards.
We take our neighbours into consideration by
providing information about the impacts of construction
sites, such as changes to traffic arrangements or work
phases that may cause noise. In 2022, for example, we
also organised a separate safety briefing for students at
a school adjacent to the construction site for the Wint-
teri education and well-being centre.
We actively cooperate with educational institutions
and students. In 2022, we launched a working life coop-
eration agreement with Metropolia University of Applied
Sciences, and signed a letter of intent to join the wood
construction development programme run by Novia
University of Applied Sciences. We also participated in
trade fairs and events organised by student associa-
tions, and enabled visits to our construction sites.
We organised a total of seven events for our own
personnel during the year. Webcasts on topical issues
were also produced for personnel. In addition to events
aimed at all personnel, each unit held quarterly, monthly
and weekly meetings in accordance with our manage-
ment processes.

internal awareness of our customer promise within SRV
with the aim of including it as a guideline in everything
we do.
We listen extensively to our stakeholders, and give
both urban residents and industry operators the oppor-
tunity to share their views on sustainable construction.
Since 2021, we have offered people the opportunity to
join a digital forum called Trailblazers, so that as many
people as possible can influence the kind of future we
are building. During 2022, our Trailblazers shared their
views on yard design, the offices of the future, sustaina-
ble homes, and well-being at the office.
SRV’s Youth Panel started up in 2020, and its mem-
bers consist of young people with an interest in urban
development and future construction. The Youth Panel
convened three times in 2022. The topics discussed in-
cluded lifecycle wisdom, sustainable housing solutions,
and job opportunities in the construction sector.
We met with subcontractors and suppliers dur-
ing bilateral negotiations on topics such as preventing
labour exploitation and promoting sustainable practices
in the sector. A Safety Day was held for SRV’s key part-
ners in the construction of business premises, the aim
of which was to increase awareness and trust between
different operators in order to promote a good safety
culture.
We are in regular contact with the management of
land use and zoning units in a number of cities, and we
also met with them regularly in 2022 to discuss topi-
cal issues. We held separate discussions with permit
authorities concerning a number of projects. We were
active participants in a variety of market dialogues
and city-organised briefings and events. We were also
involved in influencing development and policymaking,
such as legislative amendments and regulations, within

Strategy implementation
SRV’s strategy for 2021–2024:
Building a lifecycle-wise reality
In February 2021, SRV announced its new strategy and
long-term financial objectives for 2021–2024. SRV’s
strategy aims to develop a long-term competitive advan-
tage, provide an excellent customer experience, tap into
opportunities for lifecycle services, improve profitability
and reduce indebtedness.
The strategy responds to the major challenges
in our operating environment – accelerating climate
change and continuing urban growth and high-density
development. Our aim is to listen to our customers
and other stakeholders, and carry out lifecycle-wise
construction so that sustainable construction will cre-
ate security for years and generations to come. SRV’s
strategy is based on developing the built environment
so that the entire lifecycle is taken into account. We
call this concept “lifecycle wisdom”. It means that we
always optimise users’ well-being and the environ-
mental footprint and costs of a building over the long
term.
The company has a strategic spearhead pro-
gramme that brings lifecycle wisdom to everything we
build. This provides the company’s customers with safe
and sustainable solutions for long-term value creation,
renews SRV's way of working, and paves the way for the
future of the entire industry.
In addition to its spearhead programme, SRV is
improving its profitability, reducing its indebtedness and
enhancing its customer experience through three strate-
gic programmes:
• Streamlining operations throughout the
construction chain
• Leading market position in the commercial
premises market
• Housing construction at the forefront of
profitability
Strategic development programmes 2022
In 2022, our development work continued in line with our
strategic programmes.
Spearhead programme: Value through lifecycle-wise
construction
Our systematic development of lifecycle wisdom contin-
ued in 2022, and our construction had positive impacts
with respect to everything from people and the environ-
ment to economic value creation. All of our construction
sites became emission-free during the year. We contin-
ued to develop our lifecycle-wise concepts and project
implementation, and renewed our reporting to comply
with the taxonomy system.
SRV’s construction sites have been emission-free
since the beginning of 2022. This is a significant step in
our journey towards a lifecycle-wise future. This decision
covers all of the company’s construction sites, and was
the first commitment of such broad scope in the con-
struction sector All of the electricity used on SRV’s sites
is carbon-neutral, that is, renewable or emission-free
energy. We will always use carbon-neutral heating when-
ever it is available. We are, however, unable to eliminate
all of our emissions. In order achieve net-zero emissions,
we plant a number of trees equivalent to the remaining
emissions to serve as a carbon sink. We reduced our
emissions by 75% during the year and planted trees
equivalent to 5,000 tCO
2
of emissions.
We developed and clarified our lifecycle wisdom
concept by standardising our most value-adding solu-
tions. The best solutions were identified by listening to
our customers, weighing up environmental benefits using
lifecycle assessments, and examining lifecycle costs to
determine a solution’s impact on economic value. Our
updated lifecycle wisdom concept was widely adopted,
and all projects planned during 2022 used this concept.
Lifecycle wisdom will therefore be broadly visible in
SRV’s upcoming output.
Our concept involves sites with good locations,
smooth transport connections, local services and an
energy class A rating. Renewable energy production
should also be included whenever possible. Geothermal
heat and solar power are utilised at most of our sites.
Solutions that promote people’s well-being also play an
important role. They can be seen in things such as com-
fortable indoor conditions, a good amount of light, and a
green living environment. Green living environments also
promote biodiversity. Ease of living has not been forgot-
ten in sustainable everyday life: we have made it easy to
sort waste and favour sustainable mobility, and have also
introduced sharing economy services to our buildings.
We safeguard a property’s economic value with the
aid of environmental certificates, adaptability and ser-
viceability. In addition to clarifying and standardising our
concept, we looked far into the future and envisioned the
lifecycle-wise buildings of the future.

Part of report of the the Board of Directors
Streamlining operations throughout
the construction chain
In 2022, we continued our systematic work to improve
the efficiency of our projects. Our diverse range of de-
velopment measures have been effective, and we have
succeeded in raising the controllability of our projects
and the margin of many projects. Through efficient
procurement and design management, we have been
able to avoid any significant market-based increases in
construction costs.
We introduced takt time at selected sites during the
year. Takt time speeds up the completion of work phas-
es and provides us with a continuous situational picture
of how construction is progressing. We also continued
to develop our risk management. Our risk management
processes were renewed in order to provide even great-
er support for our strategy and internal audit.
We expanded the use of building information models
throughout the Group. During the year, we developed the
BIM tools and manuals used on construction sites to aid
quantity calculation and the scheduling of technical build-
ing services. We also introduced new digital situational
pictures to support deviation management in projects.
Monitoring real-time situational pictures of projects gives
us an understanding of each project’s status and enables
us to address any deviations. These changes have ena-
bled us to improve the controllability of our projects.
Leading market position in the commercial
premises market
In 2022, we continued our systematic efforts to achieve
a leading position in the business premises market. We
managed to win a number of important projects in both
the public and private sectors.
We created and progressed with new practices for
our collaborative operating model, the SRV Model. We
also integrated the SRV Model more closely into the pro-
cess for our own development projects. We developed
our commercial operations in a number of ways. Our
tendering activities were made more consistent in terms
of their content, processes and materials, and we also
trained our personnel in commercialism.
We productised lifecycle wisdom concepts for
offices, logistics buildings and schools. In particular, we
developed a carbon-neutral energy system, made build-
ings more easily adaptable for different purposes, and
improved the durability of buildings. Our lifecycle-wise
office generates up to 60% fewer emissions than a typi-
cal office building.
We also invested in understanding our customers
– and thereby in our customer experience – in all of our
projects. We trained personnel in a number of projects to
act in accordance with our customer promise.
Housing construction at the forefront of profitability
Our goal is to increase the profitability of housing con-
struction by streamlining our operations. During 2022,
we continued to develop project management and steer-
ing in housing construction. We renewed our guidance on
project profitability during the construction phase, and
tightened our selection criteria for projects. We also de-
veloped a monthly forecasting and reporting model for
our projects, so as to provide a better situational picture
of ongoing projects.
We progressed with our housing concept, focus-
ing on sustainable everyday life. Our housing concept
includes multipurpose spaces, easy waste sorting into
seven fractions, and sustainable materials. Our homes
also have item lending banks to encourage the sharing
economy. The concept also allows renewable energy to
be purchased as a service, so that housing companies
will not be burdened by the need to invest in and main-
tain equipment. All of our new lifecycle-wise homes have
an energy class A rating and generate about 50% fewer
emissions than a typical residential building.
We developed our warranty process by intensi-
fying the monitoring, forecasting and reporting of our
warranty operations. In 2002, our projects were mainly
handed over as zero-error handovers. By investing in the
handover phase, we have created a good foundation for
successful warranty operations over the coming years.
We continued our work to enhance cooperation on
design, procurement and accounting. Our procurement
category management model was refined, and contin-
uous improvements in procurement have enabled us to
manage our costs in a challenging market situation.
We updated our strategy and set new financial objec-
tives on 2 February 2023. Read more on our website at

Part of report of the the Board of Directors
Outlook for 2023
During 2023, SRV's revenue and result will be affect-
ed by several factors in addition to general economic
trends, such as: the timing and amount of income rec-
ognition for SRV's own projects, which are recognised
as income upon delivery; the margin of the order back-
log and its development; the start-up of new contracts
and development projects; the war that Russia started
against Ukraine, including its related direct and indirect
effects, such as material costs and the availability of
materials and labour; and changes in demand. Higher
interest rates and inflation have a negative impact on
demand for housing and business premises among
consumers and investors, and thus pose uncertainty
with respect to the estimated start-ups of new projects.
Economic development
Financial year 1 January – 31 December
2022 in brief:
• Revenue amounted to EUR 770.1 million (932.6
1–12/2021).
• Operative operating profit amounted to EUR 18.9
(5.3) million.
• Operating profit was EUR -76.4 (-1.7) million;
write-downs of assets in Russia and the
Fennovoima holding, the dissolution of profit
margin eliminations, and the weakening of the
rouble had a total impact of EUR -92.5 million.
• The result before taxes was EUR -79.1 (-20.3)
million. Write-downs and the weakening of the
rouble had an impact of EUR -132.7 million and
the financial arrangements an impact of EUR
38.6 million.
• Cash flow from operating and investment
activities totalled EUR -8.0 (76.2) million.
• The comprehensive restructuring of financing
carried out during the second quarter significantly

bearing debt. Equity ratio rose to 36.3 (27.4) per
cent and gearing declined to 55.1 (103.0) per cent.
Excluding the impact of IFRS 16, the equity ratio
was 48.2 (32.8) per cent and gearing was -7.5 (47.5)
per cent. The equity ratio in accordance with the
loan covenant calculation was 48.2 per cent.
• At period-end, the order backlog stood at EUR
838.8 (872.3) million. New agreements valued
at EUR 624.6 (588.6) million were signed in
January–December. The sold share of the order
backlog was 89.2 (91.5) per cent.
• Earnings per share were EUR -6.62 (2.29).
The share issues carried out during the review
period, the effect of the subscription price of the
new shares and the 40:1 reverse share split in
July have been taken into consideration in the
calculation of the key figure.
Financial objectives
In 2022, SRV’s strategy and all of its operations were
guided by the 2021–2024 strategic financial objectives
that were approved in February 2021:
• Operative operating profit: 6 per cent by the end of
the period.
• Gearing excluding the impact of IFRS 16: 40-60 per
cent by the end of the period.
• As the company gradually reduces its indebtedness,
SRV expects that it will pay dividends in accordance
with its dividend policy no earlier than for the 1
January–31 December 2023 financial year. The
longer-term objective is to distribute dividends
of 30-50 per cent of the annual result, taking into
account the capital needs of business operations.
Revenue in 2023 will mainly be generated by cooper-
ative contracting as well as development projects sold
to investors. At the beginning of the year, the order
backlog will focus strongly on cooperative contracting,
which involves fewer risks but lower margins, due to
which the largest share of earnings in 2023 is expected
to be generated in the latter part of the year. In 2023,
the share of revenue accounted for by developer-con-
tracted housing production will remain small.
• Consolidated revenue for 2023 is expected to
decrease compared to 2022 (revenue in 2022: EUR
770.1 million).
• Operative operating profit is expected to be positive,
but lower than the operative operating profit for 2022
(operative operating profit in 2022: EUR 18.9 million).
We updated our strategy and set new financial objec-
tives on 2 February 2023. Read more on our website at

Part of report of the the Board of Directors
January-December 2022
• The Group’s revenue declined by 17.4 per cent
to EUR 770.1 million (932.6 1−12/2021). Revenue
included the positive effect of the dissolution of a
profit margin elimination in construction operations
amounting to EUR 14.5 million as a result of write-
downs of assets in Russia and the Fennovoima
holding. Revenue from both business and housing
construction was down.
• The Group’s operative operating profit improved
and amounted to EUR 18.9 (5.3) million. Operative
operating profit totalled EUR 23.3 (14.1) million
for the Construction segment and EUR 0.5 (-4.6)
million for the Investments segment. The operative
operating profit of the Construction segment
improved in both housing and business construction.
The higher volume of housing contracting carried
out as development projects contributed to growth
in housing construction. The margin in business
construction improved in spite of the decline in
volume. The comparison period was burdened
by the losses of the Tampere Arena project. The
operative operating profit of the Investments
segment was improved by capital gains from the
sale of a commercial centre in Porvoo.
• The Group’s operating profit was EUR -76.4 (-1.7)
million. Operating profit was impacted by, for instance,
substantial write-downs of assets in Russia and the
Fennovoima holding, the dissolution of profit margin
eliminations and changes in the exchange rate of the
rouble, which had a total impact of EUR -92.5 million.
The effects of write-downs and changes in exchange
rates are reported in the Investments segment and the
effects of the dissolution of profit margin eliminations
in the other operations and eliminations unit.
• Financial income and expenses amounted to EUR
-2.7 (-18.6) million. Net financial expenses included
EUR -41.7 million in write-downs of shareholder
loans used to finance Russian-associated
companies, and exchange rate differences
amounting to EUR 1.5 million arising from the
conversion of subsidiary and associated company
loans, which did not have an impact on cash flow.
Financial income included proceeds of EUR 17.1
million from the difference between the price paid
for repurchased notes and their carrying amount.
The terms of the remaining notes were amended
to convert them into hybrid bonds and the change
in their fair value yielded financial income of
EUR 22.9 million. Dividend and interest income
amounted to EUR 1.4 (3.0) million, interest paid on
derivatives and fair value changes amounted to
EUR 8.2 (1.3) million, and interest expenses were
EUR -5.7 (-11.0) million, of which EUR 0.1 (0.5) million
was capitalised as of the beginning of the year. In
addition, financial expenses included EUR -4.5
(-5.2) million in interest on lease agreement debts
under IFRS 16. The financing arrangements caused
expenses of EUR 4.4 million, of which EUR 3.5
million were recognised directly as a reduction in
equity and EUR 0.9 million as financial expenses.
• The Group's profit before taxes totalled EUR -79.1
(-20.3) million.
• Cash flow from operating activities was EUR -10.1
(68.9) million and cash flow from investment
activities was EUR 2.1 (7.2) million. EUR 15.7 million in
repayments on the 2020 VAT payment arrangement
had a negative impact on cash flow from operating
activities. The taxes included in the payment
arrangement were fully paid in the review period.

• The equity ratio was 36.3 (27.4) per cent and
gearing was 55.1 (103.0) per cent. Excluding the
impact of IFRS 16, the equity ratio was 48.2 (32.8)
per cent and gearing was -7.5 (47.5) per cent. The
equity ratio in accordance with the loan covenant
calculation was 48.2 (34.3) per cent. In the first
quarter, equity ratio and gearing weakened steeply
because the company wrote down the balance
sheet values of practically all of its holdings in
Russia and the Fennovoima holding. The financing
arrangement carried out during the second quarter
in turn improved the equity ratio and gearing to
stronger levels than before Russia invaded Ukraine.

• At period-end, the Group’s order backlog stood
at EUR 838.8 (872.3) million. New agreements
valued at EUR 624.6 (588.6) million were signed
in January–December. The most significant new
projects were the new ward building at Jorvi
Hospital, the fourth tower building comprising
240 residential units and daycare facilities in
Kalasatama, Helsinki for PATRIZIA, the Wintteri
education and wellness campus in Uusikaupunki,
the Wood City II headquarters being built for
WithSecure, the Oulu Central Police Station and
Prison, and the Eastern Uusimaa Main Police
Station and Prison. In addition, the developer-
contracted housing project Kokardi was started up
in Pasila, Helsinki during the review period. The sold
share of the order backlog was 89.2 (91.5) per cent.
• In addition, SRV has announced won projects
valued at about EUR 1.2 billion that have not yet
been entered into the order backlog. These
include the Laakso Joint Hospital in Helsinki,
the Sammontalo Building in Lappeenranta, the
extension of the National Museum of Finland in
Helsinki and housing projects for Kojamo. Most
of the revenue from projects is generated by
contracts carried out under project management
or alliance models.
• The Group's earnings per share were EUR -6.62
(-2.29). The share issues carried out during the
review period, the effect of the subscription price
of the new shares and the 40:1 reverse share split
in July have been taken into consideration in the
calculation of the key figure and its comparison data.

Part of report of the the Board of Directors
Financing and financial position
SRV carried out the comprehensive restructuring of
financing as planned in June during the first half of
2022 due to the impairments of assets in Russia and
the holding in Fennovoima as a result of Russia’s war
against Ukraine and the related economic sanctions.
These impairments had a substantial impact on SRV’s
shareholders’ equity and equity ratio, and restructuring
sought to counteract the effects of these impairments
by substantially strengthening equity and reducing net
interest-bearing debt.
The restructuring of financing in June consisted of the
following measures:
(i) A rights issue of about EUR 34.8 million for the
shareholders of the company. The issue was fully
subscribed.
(ii) The company’s EUR 100 million senior unsecured
callable fixed-rate notes (of which EUR 21.1 million
was outstanding on 31 Dec. 2022) and EUR 75
million senior unsecured callable fixed-rate notes
(of which EUR 36.0 million was outstanding on 31
Dec. 2022) were converted into hybrid and con-
vertible bonds by means of a written procedure.
Conversion into convertible bonds was executed
by amending the terms and conditions of the notes
with the inclusion of a special right to convert the
notes into shares pursuant to the Companies Act
if the company does not redeem them before 30
June 2026. The notes were measured at fair value,
which was 60 per cent of their nominal value when
the terms and conditions were amended. EUR 34.3
million of the hybrid and convertible bonds with a
nominal value of EUR 57.1 million were recognised
in the balance sheet as equity instruments and the
difference between their nominal value and carrying
amount, EUR 22.8 million, was recognised as other
financial income. During the written procedure on
the amendment of the terms and conditions, the
company made a voluntary tender offer to the
noteholders at a price of 60 per cent of the nominal
value. In the tender offer, notes with a total nominal
value of EUR 42.7 million were purchased for EUR
25.6 million.
(iii) The terms and conditions of the EUR 45.0 million
hybrid bonds the company issued on 22 March 2016
(with an outstanding principal of EUR 11.8 million)
and the EUR 58.4 million hybrid bonds the company
issued on 23 May 2019 (with an outstanding prin-
cipal of EUR 3.6 million) were amended in a written
procedure such that 55 per cent of the principal of
the notes was written down and the remainder was
converted to shares in a directed share issue with
a subscription price of EUR 0.10 per share. 98.3
per cent of the outstanding principal of the hybrid
bonds issued on 22 March 2016 and 100 per cent of
the outstanding principal of the hybrid bonds issued
on 23 May 2019 were used to subscribe for shares in
the directed issue. The unconverted nominal value
of the hybrid bonds was written down entirely.
(iv) With the syndicate banks, the company agreed on
the extension of its revolving credit facility and pro-
ject financing facility by 12 months and certain other
amendments to the agreement on the revolving
credit facility and project financing facility.
Net interest-bearing debt totalled EUR 80.5 million
(170.0 12/2021) at the end of the review period. Net
interest-bearing debt saw a year-on-year decrease of
EUR 89.5 million. Excluding the impact of IFRS 16, net
interest-bearing debt totalled EUR -11.5 (81.0) million,
representing a decrease of EUR 89.5 million on the com-
parison period. Housing corporation loans accounted
for EUR 7.4 (18.1) million of the interest-bearing debt. The
amount of net interest-bearing debt was significantly im-
pacted by the rights issue in June and the partial repur-
chase of notes and their conversion into hybrid bonds.
At the end of the review period, the company’s eq-
uity ratio (excluding the impact of IFRS 16) was 48.2 per
cent (32.8 12/2021) and gearing (excluding the impact of
IFRS 16) was -7.5 per cent (47.5 12/2021). The equity ratio

was 48.2 per cent, as the covenant calculation took into
account the recognition of income from developer-con-
tracted projects on the basis of percentage of com-
pletion. The aforementioned financing arrangements
carried out in June had a significant impact on the equity
ratio and gearing.
At the end of the review period, EUR 10 million of
the company’s EUR 30 million revolving credit facility
was withdrawn and EUR 20 million was unused. EUR
35.8 million of the company’s EUR 40.0 million commit-
ted project financing facility was unused at the end of
the review period. In addition, the company’s EUR 63.0
million non-committed project financing facility was
entirely unused at the end of the review period. As part
of the aforementioned restructuring of financing, the due
date of the revolving credit facility and project financing
facility was extended to April 2024.
At the end of the period, the Group’s financing re-
serves totalled EUR 65.9 million (100.1 12/2021), consist-
ing of unused project loans (EUR 0.6 million), an undrawn
revolving credit facility (EUR 20.0 million) and cash and
cash equivalents (EUR 45.3 million). Financing reserves
were affected by EUR -8.03 (76.2) million in cash flow
from operating activities and investments, EUR -15.3
(-105.4) million in cash flow from financing activities, and
a decrease in undrawn project loans.
The financial covenants of SRV’s financing agree-
ments are equity ratio, gearing, minimum operating
margin, minimum cash, and certain other restrictions.
The covenant levels of these financing agreements are
determined on the basis of the accounting principles in
force when the loan agreements were signed. Recogni-
tion of income on the basis of percentage of completion
in developer contracting projects and the inclusion of
capital loans into equity are taken into consideration in
the calculation of the equity ratio covenant. The loan
agreements also contain some other deviations from
traditional covenant calculation methods. The main
covenants of the financing agreements are presented in
note 29 to the 2022 Annual Review.
SRV's investment commitments totalled EUR 19.6
(21.1) million at the end of the review period, and con-
sisted of investments in Fennovoima and the Tampere
Central Deck and Arena project.
SRV is exposed to changes in the exchange rate of
the rouble through its Russian subsidiaries, associated
companies and joint ventures. The weakening rouble
led to translation differences of EUR -4.3 million (1.8
1-12/2021), which impacted both shareholders' equity
and the comprehensive result for the period. In addition
to currency exchange rate gains with no cash flow im-
pact amounting to EUR 1.5 (1.9) million in financial income
and expenses, the Group also entered similarly derived
currency exchange rate gains of EUR 7.3 (1.6) million with
no cash flow impact under the profit accounted for by
associated companies, which are due primarily to the
weaker rouble exchange rate. The total impact on equity
before the recognition of impairment was EUR 8.8 mil-
lion. As a result of write-downs of Russian holdings, the
currency risk position has decreased considerably. The
remaining position is presented in note 12 to this interim
report.
Due to its holdings in Russia, the company has
accumulated translation differences totalling EUR -14.9
million directly in equity through the comprehensive
income statement. The negative translation difference
accrued upon disposal of the holdings will later be rec-
ognised as an expense in the income statement with an
impact on operating profit, but without an effect on the
total amount of equity or operative operating profit.

Non-financial performance in 2022
Sustainability management and
governance model
Sustainability management
SRV’s Board of Directors is responsible for managing
sustainability. The Board regularly discusses sustainabil-
ity issues and decides on the company’s long-term goals.
The responsibility for sustainability work lies with SRV’s
Corporate Executive Team under the leadership of the
President & CEO. Operational management of sustain-
ability efforts is the responsibility of the Senior Vice
President, Development. The following sections provide
more detailed descriptions of our management practic-
es in different areas of sustainability.
Sustainability is integrated into our management
system, which is based on the ISO 14001 environmental
management system, the ISO 45001 occupational health
and safety management system, and the ISO 9001 qual-
ity management system. Our management processes,
support processes and core business processes are all
part of this management system. The reporting required
by the EU Taxonomy for sustainable finance was also
added in 2022.
Principles governing sustainability
Our Code of Conduct defines the principles by which
SRV makes decisions and acts under all circumstances.
SRV also requires third parties, such as subcontractors
and other partners, to commit to its Code of Conduct.
Our sustainability action is guided by our quality
policy, environmental policy, occupational health and
safety policy, and procurement policy. Practical instruc-
tions round out and specify the guidelines laid out in the
Code of Conduct and the company’s policies.
SRV has set nine of the United Nations’ 17 Sus-
tainable Development Goals (SDG) as key goals for its
sustainable operations. The selected SDGs have been
integrated into SRV’s strategic programmes, and more
information about them can be found on SRV’s website.
SRV also supports the International Labour Organisa-
tion’s (ILO) Conventions and Recommendations.
Changes in the operating environment highlight
sustainability
Sustainability now has a greater impact on the price and
availability of funding, and ESG (Environment, Social and
Governance) and EU Taxonomy reporting is becoming
more important. Sustainable development is also being
reflected in national regulations. In the draft bill for the
new Zoning and Construction Act, carbon footprint cal-
culation has been added to the regulatory framework.
Alongside various other actors, SRV is actively
involved in developing transparency in reporting and
dialogue with the authorities. Some examples of this are
the Taxonomy, Sustainable Construction and Occupa-
tional Safety group coordinated by the Confederation of
Finnish Construction Industries RT and Green Building
Council Finland’s (FiGBC) BuildingLife initiative. SRV is
also involved in industry development via close cooper-
ation with other industry actors. SRV is also a member of
Finnish Business and Society (FiBS).
SRV also regularly assesses the significant risks
and opportunities in its operating environment as part of
its risk management process. During 2022, both climate

were assessed in accordance with the Task Force for
Climate-related Financial Disclosure (TCFD). This
analysis is presented in section Risks and risk manage-
ment.
Material responsibility themes
The Annual Report covers SRV’s material responsibil-
ity aspects for 2022 in accordance with the sustain-
ability programme. Our reporting takes into account
both the societal impacts of SRV’s business and our
stakeholders’ views. The impacts of our business on
society and stakeholders are described in the value
creation model, and we have used them as a basis for
our materiality work. Materiality themes have been
defined on the basis of a personnel survey and discus-
sions with stakeholders.
Significant progress was made in our sustainabil-
ity work during 2022. We enhanced our safety culture
by strengthening our risk management expertise and
preemptive measures. Since the beginning of 2022,

SRV’s construction sites have been net-zero in terms
of emissions from their own energy procurement. This
is the first decision to be made on such a scale in the
construction sector. We also launched biodiversity
targets and a long-term objective to be a carbon-neutral
company by 2030.
In 2022, we developed an ESG-based reporting
model and reported on our taxonomy alignment for the
first time as part of our EU Taxonomy reporting.
In accordance with the requirements of the Ac-
counting Act, a report on HR issues, social responsi-
bility, human rights, environmental and climate issues,

Environmental responsibility
SRV’s environmental efforts are based on a commit-
ment to legislative compliance, environmental pro-
tection, business development, and the continuous
improvement of standards in accordance with the ISO
14001 environmental system.
SRV’s environmental impacts
SRV’s most significant environmental impacts are
caused by construction waste, energy consumption,
and changes in land usage. Other environmental im-
pacts include noise, dust, vibration, water and material
consumption, and transport. The management of storm
water, trench water and chemicals is of key importance
in preventing environmental contamination.
Due to climatic conditions, most energy is used on
heating, which therefore holds the greatest potential for
reducing emissions from construction. Promoting waste
sorting and the circular economy are two of the main
objectives of SRV’s environmental action.
SRV’s most significant indirect environmental im-
pacts arise during the manufacture of building materials
and the use – and eventual demolition – of the final
product (i.e. buildings and infrastructure).
Construction has impacts on the surrounding envi-
ronment not only during the construction process itself,
but also indirectly by creating new long-term environ-
ments. Design solutions can impact water management,
create more biodiverse habitats, improve comfort, air
quality and indoor temperatures, and prepare for chang-
ing climate conditions. Through its project development
and lifecycle wisdom concept, SRV has the opportunity
to promote the design of healthy and pleasant com-
munities that are sustainable for both people and the
environment.
Our approach to environmental responsibility
SRV’s environmental policy steers both its own and its
partners’ efforts towards environmentally friendly car-
bon-neutral solutions.
The general operating principles for managing
environmental issues are described in our environmental
management manual and guidelines for environmental
action. SRV’s Code of Conduct and Construction Con-
tract Programme specify what we require of our partners
and subcontractors. Our procurement policy also takes
a stand on environmental responsibility.
Measures and progress in environmental
responsibility during 2022
We continued to move towards lower-emission
operations in 2022, and we made the transition to
zero-emission construction sites at the turn of the
year. By summer, SRV became net-zero emission-free
in its entirety. We implemented our new lifecycle-wise
strategy by developing concepts, creating guide-
lines to promote biodiversity, and introducing more
lifecycle wisdom indicators into our environmental
programme. We have used wood, solar panels and
recycled materials to increase the carbon handprint
of our buildings.
Waste stream utilisation projects were launched
with our partners, and the automated monitoring of soil
was piloted on our infrastructure construction sites.
Our environmental reporting system was renewed in
2022.
For many years now, we have invested in reduc-
ing waste volumes and sorting waste on construction
sites. The sorting-at-source rate is the best waste
management indicator of the progress being made
on construction sites. The goal since the beginning of
We aim to minimise harmful effects
on the environment in line with the
six UN Sustainable Development Goals.

2022 has been to raise it to at least 70% in all projects.
The rate for construction waste was 67.6% in 2022.
The recovery and recycling rates are the waste stream
averages reported by our waste management partners.
The key figures for construction waste are illustrated in
the graphs.
There was no major environmental damage in 2022,
and all reported deviations were low-risk in nature. The
most common deviations involved oil and fuel leaks from
subcontractors’ machinery. The spills were soaked up
and delivered to a licensed operator for treatment. A to-
tal of 48 environmental deviations were reported during
the year, 17 of which were oil leaks.
The majority of the energy consumed by SRV’s own
operations is used for heating. During 2022, SRV’s con-
struction sites were net emission-free in terms of their
own energy procurement. This means that our electricity
is renewable or otherwise emission-free, and we use
emission-free district heating and biofuels whenever
possible. Emissions saw a year-on-year decrease of 75%.
We plant trees equivalent to the remaining emissions in
cooperation with istutapuita.fi. In 2022, we planted trees
equivalent to 5,000 tCO2 of emissions. More detailed in-
formation about our emission calculations can be found
in our sustainability supplement.
In 2022, SRV used three general environmental cer-
tification systems (the international LEED and BreeAm
systems and the Finnish RTS system). 18 per cent of our
developer–contracted projects were environmentally
certified.
The impacts of various alternatives on the lifecycle
of a building were compared using lifecycle assess-
ments (LCA), not only in lifecycle projects and sites using
certification systems, but also in developer-contracted
housing projects and lifecycle-wise projects.
SRV’s EU Taxonomy reporting
The EU Taxonomy is a classification system for sus-
tainable finance. The taxonomy consists of a directive
and the regulatory technical standards issued on the
basis of the directive. We incorporated these criteria
in our management system during 2022, and they will
be reviewed as part of design management, procure-
ment and on-site operations. We reported our taxono-
my-aligned revenue for the first time in 2022.
Our business operates in accordance with the mini-
mum social protection requirements. We are committed
to the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human
Rights, the ILO Convention, and international human
rights legislation. Our Code of Conduct, along with our
company’s policies, principles and processes, steer our
operations with respect to human rights and workers’
rights.
SRV has a confidential Ethics Channel that ena-
bles SRV employees and stakeholders to report cases
in which people may have acted illegally or contrary to
SRV’s values or Code of Conduct. SRV’s Ethics Channel
is operated and managed by an independent service
provider. SRV suppliers also meet our sustainability
requirements. Audits support our human rights work,
and we use them to trace, identify and prevent potential
risks related to our supply chain. Measures to prevent
corruption are described in more detail in the Good Gov-
ernance section. We operate in accordance with national
regulations in matters relating to taxation and compe-
tition law. During 2022, we also provided our personnel
with competition law training.

Social responsibility
The impacts of SRV’s social responsibility
The impacts of SRV’s social responsibility are largely
related to the well-being of the company’s personnel,
and thereby to minimising personnel turnover. A good
workplace atmosphere and excellent leadership are the
cornerstones of personnel well-being at SRV, and are
supported by proactive occupational health and safe-
ty efforts. SRV wants to offer versatile career paths to
professionals with a broad range of backgrounds. Social
responsibility also extends to our products and services,
which are reported on in conjunction with our environ-
mental certifications (Measures and progress in envi-
ronmental responsibility during 2022) and in the Good
Governance section.
Our approach to social responsibility
SRV’s culture is built on its shared values, strategy,
customer promise and operating method. Our values
– sustainability, enthusiasm, profitability, bold in devel-
opment and open in cooperation – guide our operations.
Our approach describes desired behaviour – how we
get things done at SRV. Our HR management practices
are described in our HR policy and its supplementary
principles.
Measures and progress in social responsibility during
2022
Our employer promise defines three key themes for SRV,
and they also formed the basis for our key developmen-
tal themes in HR policy during 2022:
1. A responsible community that fosters team spirit
2. An innovator in workplace culture
3. The chance to flourish in an interesting job
Every year, we conduct an extensive personnel survey
covering workload, employee satisfaction and well-being
at work. This is supplemented by lighter pulse surveys on
a quarterly basis. The eNPS from SRV’s personnel work
motivation survey rose by 30% in 2022. Work motivation
has been excellent during 2022 (4.0/5.0).
SRV aims to be a safe, equal workplace with a good
community spirit. Extensive remote work recommenda-
tions were discontinued in Finland in early 2022 as the
coronavirus pandemic eased, and hybrid work has since
become a part of everyday life. Supervisor coaching has
focused on team development and supporting well-being
and coping at work.
We regularly measure customer satisfaction. In
2022, our NPS B2C was 37 and our NPS B2B was 50.
Customers also rated how well we conducted our busi-
ness in accordance with our customer promise – 7.9/10
B2C and 8.2/10 B2B.
We want to encourage young people to enter the
construction industry, and we therefore offer them a
broad range of jobs every year. SRV’s trainee programme
was updated in 2022 and employed 141 construction
students over the summer. Since 2021, SRV has also
been collaborating with the Finnish Olympic Committee’s
Lasten liike programme, which aims to get kids moving.
EQUALITY, DIVERSITY
AND INCLUSIVITY ARE

This cooperation supports hobbies for children during
the school day, and particularly the training of instruc-
tors for children’s hobbies.
After coronavirus restrictions were lifted, training
and personnel events could once again be organised as
hybrid events. The number of training days per person in
Finland was 0.7 (1.0).
SRV employed an average of 948 (958) people in
January–December 2022. The most important key fig-
ures relating to personnel can be found in the table and
graphs below.
Everyone at SRV who meets the requirements of
their duties is treated equally regardless of gender or
gender identity, language, religion, nationality or ethnic
origin, opinions, family relations, age, union or political
affiliations, and health.
SRV promotes diversity within the organisation by
highlighting examples of equality in communications
and internal training. In order to promote diversity in the
construction industry, we collaborated with the women’s
network of the Finnish Association of Civil Engineers
(RIL) in 2022.
In November–December 2022, we carried out
change negotiations under the Act on Co-operation within
Undertakings with a view to adjusting the company’s cost
structure and number of personnel to market demand.
These negotiations resulted in personnel reductions total-
ling 33.5 person-work-years, and 30 people were laid off
until further notice. Those who were laid off or had their
employment contracts terminated were provided with
guidance on finding new employment by the Employment
and Economic Development Office and our change secu-
rity partner. Those who had worked for the Group for at
least five years were eligible for change security training.
Developing our safety culture and safety management
A healthy and safe working environment is the foundation
for everything we do at SRV. We want to continuously
develop our safety culture, in which safety is an integral
aspect of a normal working day. SRV participates in the
Finnish Institute of Occupational Health’s Vision Zero Fo-
rum, and has committed to its target of Zero Accidents.
SRV's occupational health and safety aspects
Statistics on accidents at work indicate that the con-
struction sector is the most dangerous sector. This is
why we must ensure that health and safety measures are
implemented extremely well in terms of both our output
and personnel. SRV has an extensive safety programme
that we employ in a goal-oriented manner to ensure a

technical quality of investigations into the root causes
of safety incidents has enabled us to improve our ability
to share the lessons we have learned. Management has
regularly discussed the effectiveness of our safety activ-
ities, and has decided on measures to be taken. During
2022, our management carried out a total of 208 safety
audits to achieve our objective for them. Management
also takes part in accident investigations.
Risk management competence development was
part of our strategy in 2022. This has been reflected in
many concrete occupational safety measures, such as
regular safety briefings, safety management training,
occupational safety card training, and safety audits. The
safe working environment and reduce the number of
work-related accidents leading to absence. Through our
efforts to promote health and safety at our shared work-
places, we promote the health and well-being not only
of our own personnel, but also of our partners’ personnel.
The buildings we build have a long-term health
impact on their users, and this requires us to engage in
special planning, choose good construction solutions,
and make wise choices with regard to technical building
services. A built environment that supports well-being
makes everyday life more pleasant, supports employ-
ment, and is also sustainable from an environmental per-
spective. Factors that increase well-being include clean
indoor air, a comfortable temperature and good lighting.
Our approach
Our company’s occupational safety is developed as part
of SRV’s ISO 45001 management system and HSEQ ac-
tivities. SRV’s health and safety work is guided by our oc-
cupational health and safety policy, which includes gener-
al principles for safety management. We use management
system processes to make sure that our construction
sites are safe. SRV has a Code of Conduct, a Construction
Contract Programme for partners and onboarding prac-
tices to ensure that we conduct our business correctly.
Measures and progress in occupational health and
safety during 2022
Our goal-oriented safety efforts continued in line with
our updated 2022 guidelines towards our goal of Zero
Accidents. We set exemplary behaviour from manage-
ment and risk management competence development
as our focal points for occupational safety in 2022, and
we enhanced safety management in general using the
principle of continuous improvement. Developing the

dent frequency rate (LTIF) declined in the previous year,
and stood at 12.1 in 2022 (12.2 in 2021). The number of
accidents has also declined.
SRV has firmly established a culture of making safety
observations, which have stabilised at a good level. The
key objective for safety observations in 2022 was to im-
prove the quality and usability of the observations.
During the 2022 Safety Week, we ran a campaign on
the theme of “the right to a good day at work”, which took
a stand on preventing labour exploitation.

Good Governance
The impacts of SRV’s good governance
Good governance emphasises good management,
ethical practices and the development of sustainable op-
erations. We enhance our operating methods by listening
to our stakeholders and measuring the performance and
effectiveness of our management system. We encourage
our employees to innovate and share ethical and sustain-
able practices. We are developing our compliance func-
tion and drafting new guidelines. Our personnel are also
being trained in line with the principles of continuous im-
provement. We promote the realisation of human rights
and fair competition, and actively work to prevent labour
exploitation, bribery, corruption and the grey economy.
By providing employment and paying taxes, we make a
positive impact on both society and the economy.
Our approach
The President & CEO and SRV’s Corporate Executive
Te am a re r es po ns ib le f or c om pl ia nc e wi th e th ic al p ra c-
tices at a strategic level, while business units hold this
responsibility at an operational level. Our management
and ethical practices are described in our management
system, with which all employees are required to comply.
It is supplemented by policies and guidelines that specify
and document our guiding principles and practical pro-
cedures. We require our subcontractors and suppliers to
comply with these same ethical principles. These princi-
ples are enshrined in our Supplier Code of Conduct.
Measures and progress in good governance
during 2022
All of our personnel are required to complete annual
training in ethical practices. We provide our partners
with instructions in our agreements and construction
contract programmes.
We take any suspected misconduct seriously. At
SRV, all incidents that violate our Code of Conduct,
such as suspected discrimination or harassment, can be
reported via SRV’s Ethics Channel. We also encourage
our personnel to report their findings to their supervisor
or the legal department.
As part of our sustainability management, we have
long been developing operating methods to combat the
grey economy and ensure the manageability, transpar-
ency and legality of our operating chain. Ensuring that
human rights are realised, and that labour is not exploit-
ed in the supply chain, is also crucial for society. Which
is why SRV supports equality in the labour market, and
plays its part in preventing labour market segregation
and inequality. We also make sure that labour rights are
realised.
SRV employs a considerable number of its own
personnel and contractors. Since 2021, we have
required third-country nationals to have a residence
permit issued in Finland in order to combat the grey
economy and prevent labour exploitation. Since De-
cember 2021, SRV has not approved people working
on its construction sites with a commission agreement
through an invoicing service i.e. “light entrepreneurship”
without a business ID. There are no established legal
practices surrounding light entrepreneurship at societal
level, which means that it poses risks relating to the grey
economy.
We want to continuously improve supplier coopera-
tion, and develop competence and understanding of the
role played by procurement as an enabler of responsible
operations. Enhancing the management of our supplier
and contractor network was a key goal for procurement in
2022. SRV adheres to official procurement procedures in
the management of its supplier relationships, and the SRV
Network Register is an element of this. The SRV Network
Register contains more than 14,000 suppliers and about
3,600 active contractors. After Russia invaded Ukraine in
February 2022, SRV decided not to purchase any materi-
als from Russia.
SRV ensures that its subcontractors and suppli-
ers commit to ethical practices. In 2022, SRV’s supplier
network registration process included some sustaina-
bility-related questions. During 2022, a sustainability

assessment was issued to all contractors on the basis of
their answers.
Audits enable us to ensure that our suppliers meet
the requirements of an SRV partner, and that we can
develop industry practices together. Our procurement
function audited 21 suppliers and contractors in 2022.
SRV holds anti-grey economy days on its Finnish
construction sites four times a year. These events seek to
minimise socially harmful phenomena associated with the
grey economy, such as the exploitation of foreign labour.
During our 2022 anti-grey economy days, construction
sites checked that our contractual partners and their sub-
contractors had met all the necessary conditions for both
the company and its employees to work on our construc-
tion site. About 70 per cent of all personnel were checked.
Only a few individual instructions were issued during
inspections of SRV’s construction sites carried out by the
authorities in the areas of occupational health and safety,
foreign workers and the Contractor’s Liability Act in 2022.
These were put into practice at the required level as soon
as the deviation was detected.
SRV pays its taxes and tax-like charges in accord-
ance with local legislation. A significant proportion of
tax-like charges consist of salary-related taxes and VAT
on goods and services. SRV also pays other taxes, such
as income tax, transfer tax, and property tax. The compa-
ny also has considerable impact as an indirect taxpayer
– SRV also generates indirect revenue for the State from
the income tax and social security payments paid via
subcontracting and hired labour.
SRV proactively cooperates with the authorities to
ensure that internal transactions within both the Group
and construction projects are properly handled with re-
spect to tax legislation.

Changes in the Corporate Executive
Team
In December, construction engineer Hannu Lokka
(age 59) was appointed as SRV Group Plc’s Executive
Vice President, Strategic Project Development and a
member of the Corporate Executive Team as of 16 Jan-
uary 2023. In September, SRV announced that Timo
Nieminen, Executive Vice President, Strategic Project
Development, would be retiring by the end of January
2023. Nieminen left the Corporate Executive Team in
December 2022. Antti Nummi (formerly SVP, Commer-
cial) left both SRV and the Corporate Executive Team
on 31 January 2022.
Risks and risk management
SRV has published a Corporate Governance Statement,
which includes a general description of the company’s
risk management systems, as a separate report from the
Annual Report. The report is available on the company’s
website.
Strategic risks
Market risks
SRV’s most significant strategic market risks are
linked to weakened demand, the availability of ma-
terials and energy, cost inflation, and rising interest
rates. These factors could make it more difficult for
customers to obtain financing, prompt investors to
require higher returns or otherwise stricter investment
criteria, decrease housing prices, and slow down hous-
ing sales. If such market risks materialise, they could
pose a major risk to the company’s financial position
and profitability.
In order to reduce market-related risks, the com-
pany has further bolstered its activities to continuously
identify commercial opportunities, customer needs and
customers, to manage customer relationships and sales,
and to enhance SRV’s customer experience. In projects,
the aim is to make outlays on public integrated project
deliveries. SRV is seeking to put a stronger focus on
private development projects in the business premises
sector; while in the housing business area, projects will
be distributed more evenly among different sectors of
housing construction.
As the outlook for the construction industry weak-
ened significantly, SRV had to take risk management
measures for production and financial reasons at the
end of 2022. These measures included change negoti-
ations under the Act on Co-operation within Undertak-
ings, which resulted in personnel cuts and layoffs.
Strategic climate risks
We have used the recommendations of the Task Force
on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) in
assessing the impacts of climate change. Our environ-
mental and climate governance model is described
in the Annual Report’s Section Sustainability man-
agement. SRV’s strategy, which emphasises lifecycle
wisdom, is strongly linked to combating climate change
and supporting customers in a changing operating
environment. In 2022, SRV created the Carbon Neu-
trality Roadmap 2030 to support its climate action. In
the Annual Report, we have deepened our description
of risks related to climate change by describing more
concrete measures and their impacts in our non-finan-
cial reporting. During 2022, we integrated climate risk
management more deeply into our company-wide risk
management process.
We estimated the business impacts of two cli-
mate scenarios. We determined that a temperature
increase of 1.5 degrees would increase the transition
risks related to markets, reputation, politics and
technology. Of the measures we take to manage these
risks, the most important involve reducing emissions
and preparing for potential increases in taxes and
operating costs.
Personnel risks
The main personnel risks that have been identified are
competition for project resources requiring special ex-
pertise and the retention of these resources. The overall
situation with regard to resources is currently good. In
order to manage their resources, we take care of our
personnel’s well-being and ensure that they have com-
petitive remuneration and benefits. Good management
and corporate culture are considered to be key draws
for the company. In 2022, a new onboarding process was
launched to ensure a smooth start for new employees.
We also made further investments in supervisory work
and performance management, by both renewing our
performance discussion process and the short-term
incentive plan for all personnel.
Financial risks
Financing and credit risks
SRV’s developer-contracted construction ties up capi-
tal. The availability and price of financing are important
for the company's business. Although the availability of
financing and certain guarantees for the company has
improved, their availability for developer contracting
projects remains somewhat limited.

WELL-BEING OF
OUR PERSONNEL
General interest rates have risen strongly during
2022. SRV is monitoring the interest rates connected to
its liabilities, and seeks to hedge interest rate risks through
interest derivatives and by choosing the interest type
and interest period. In July 2015, SRV signed two interest
rate swaps with total capital of EUR 100 million. They will
mature in 2025. In addition to its interest rate risk posi-
tion, SRV can also use interest derivatives to partly hedge
against the impact of interest rate changes on its business.
Due to the nature of SRV's operations, the unit sizes
of projects and sales invoices are relatively large. For
this reason, the company’s receivables from individual
customers may be subject to credit risks. The company
seeks to manage credit risks by means of assessing the
solvency of customers, security arrangements, prudent-
ly drafting payment instalment tables and proactively
keeping track of receivables. The Group's commercial
counterparties are mainly listed companies or major real
estate companies or institutional investment companies.
Historically, the amount of credit losses has been very low.
In the first quarter of 2022, SRV suspended the
construction of the Torihotelli contract in Oulu due to the
payment difficulties of the client. In June 2022, SRV filed
an application to declare the client bankrupt. As a result,
the District Court of Oulu declared the company devel-
oping the hotel, Kiinteistö Oy Oulun Torihotelli, bankrupt
in August 2022. The assets of the bankruptcy estate
are being liquidated. The company has also initiated
steps to liquidate its non-property collateral. At the end
of December, SRV had about EUR 16.0 million in trade
receivables due from this contract, secured by a mort-
gage on the property under construction and pledges on
certain other assets. Trade receivables in the Torihotelli
contract involve credit loss risks.
Liquidity and refinancing risks may have an effect
on the Group's financial results, cash flow and the imple-
mentation of the Group’s developer contracting projects
if the Group is unable to ensure sufficient financing for
its operations. In addition to cash assets and undrawn
housing corporation loans, SRV’s financing reserves
consist of an undrawn credit facility. Individual receiv-
ables may also be sold within the limits allowed for the
purpose of liquidity management, as necessary.
Negative changes in SRV’s earnings trend may
have an impact on the fulfilment of the covenants of the
revolving credit facility and thereby on the usability of
the facility and the company’s financing reserves. The
company actively monitors the development of the cov-
enant situation and, if necessary, seeks to negotiate on
financing terms with the creditor banks.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022,
and the subsequent sanctions, countersanctions and
weakening of the market situation, led to substantial
write-downs on SRV’s operations in Russia during the
first quarter of 2022. As a result of these write-downs,
the company executed a comprehensive restructuring
of its financing during the second quarter. This strength-
ened the equity ratio, and the company is now almost
net debt-free. SRV’s currency risk is extremely low due
to the write-downs on its operations in Russia.
In order to manage financial risks, financing for de-
veloper contracting projects is ensured through sales of
projects, project-specific credit facilities and the use of
SRV’s general financing reserves. The financing situation
of projects is assessed at different decision points and
the company only starts up projects for which financing
has been secured. New projects are only launched when
there is sufficient demand.
Operational risks
Project management risks
SRV seeks to implement profitable contracting pro-
jects for developer customers and to develop profitable
developer contracting projects and property projects
together with its partners. In addition to resource risks,
the most significant project management risks con-
cern the operations of customers and the authorities,
contract management, site planning, the implementation
of procurement, the management of schedules, quality,
costs, safety and environmental issues, and the market-
ing and sale of sites.
SRV seeks to manage project management risks by
investing in the development of management-enhancing
systems and its own customer-focused, flexible and net-
worked operating model (SRV Approach). The company
has a management system that steers its operations.
SRV has several ongoing projects to develop its opera-
tions, such as expanding the utilisation of the features of
the CRM system in marketing and sales, standardising
assessment criteria, decision-making poin ts and risk
management reviews in the project development phase,
and improving the housing production warranty work
process and its feedback systems.
Subcontracting risks
The management of the partner network in project
implementation involves risks related to matters such as
quality, costs, schedule, safety, the grey economy and
environmental issues. To manage subcontractor risks,
the backgrounds, technical competences and financial
capacities of key companies working in projects are
assessed, and phase-by-phase working plans are drawn
up before work begins. In addition to the implementa-
O

tion of the working plans, SRV constantly monitors the
development of procurement costs and reacts rapidly
to deviations. Procurement management and documen-
tation are handled with SRV’s procurement system and
in-house network register.
As the sanctions imposed by western countries and
Russia tighten, the availability of certain raw materials
and especially energy pose problems and hamper the
production and availability of construction materials,
which may further increase construction costs. The ex-
tensive reconstruction of Ukraine in the future might also
have a substantial impact on the availability and costs of
labour and materials. In addition, the materialisation of
certain other geopolitical tensions would pose problems
to global production chains. Proactive procurement is
employed to manage any material availability issues and
the impact of inflation on projects.
Operational sustainability risks
Occupational safety risks and accidents are major
operational sustainability risks. Occupational safety and
human rights risks involve serious accidents at work,
labour exploitation, working conditions, corruption and
the grey economy. Particular attention has been paid to
occupational safety management. Management com-
mitment has been increased and the quality of incident
investigations improved. In addition, the management
and monitoring of overall safety has been developed to
obtain an even more accurate and better picture of the
situation. At the same time, on-site training and own ob-
servations of occupational safety have been developed.
SRV requires human rights to be realised, and the
associated risks largely concern labour exploitation,
working conditions, corruption and the grey economy.
We have described the measures taken in 2022 to avoid
human rights risks in Annual Report’s Section Good
Governance in particular.
Contractual risks
Incomplete or unclear contract terms and deficient con-
tract management may give rise to ambiguities concerning
the responsibilities and obligations of the parties and dis-
putes that weaken project profitability. In particular, addi-
tional and modification work implemented during projects
in target-price and guaranteed maximum price contracts
are subject to the risk of divergent interpretations.
In order to avoid contractual risks, SRV’s key
agreements are drafted on the basis of legal expertise
and contract models adapted to the company’s opera-
tions. In addition, the company constantly maintains the
knowledge of responsible persons on different contract
terms and the content of contracts with guidance and
the necessary training. Contract practices are devel-
oped constantly.
Risks of large and demanding projects
Construction projects involve a variety of risks in the
project development, construction and in-service
phases, and their circumstances develop and change
constantly. Large-scale development projects that tie
up a great deal of capital over a long period of time are
particularly exposed to changes and thereby to risks.
In large and demanding projects, the company
manages the risks involved in each phase by carrying
out thorough risk analyses and adhering to the project
processes and operating system defined by the compa-
ny. Major risky projects are under the special supervision
of the company’s management. New practices have
been introduced in project risk management, and are
being further expanded and systematised.

Part of report of the the Board of Directors
November 2022, SRV and its Finnish co-investors sold
their holdings in Jupiter Realty 1 B.V., the company that
owns the Okhta Mall shopping centre in St Petersburg, to
the Cyprus-based property investor Geomare Invest-
ments Limited. Following the sale of Okhta Mall, SRV is
a co-owner in two Russian shopping centres through
associated companies. In addition, SRV owns one plot in
Russia. On 31 December 2022, the total value of hold-
ings in Russia in SRV’s balance sheet was only EUR 3.0
million. Due to sanctions and the tightening econom-
ic situation, SRV’s risks in Russia – in addition to the
remaining balance sheet item – are posed by managing
the operations of the two remaining co-owned shopping
centres and their profitability as well as the fulfilment of
the covenant terms of the loan agreements of the com-
panies that own the shopping centres. The company is
focusing on the careful management of these shopping
centres and at the same time is continuing to actively
engage in negotiations with a view to selling its remaining
assets in Russia.
Risks related to investments in Fennovoima
Through its subsidiary SRV Voima Oy, SRV has a
holding in Voimaosakeyhtiö SF, the main owner of Fen-
novoima, which had prepared the Hanhikivi 1 nuclear
power plant project. SRV has also made an investment
commitment to Voimaosakeyhtiö SF concerning the
construction of the nuclear power plant. SRV has the
same rights and obligations as other Voimaosakeyhtiö
SF shareholders.
In May 2022, Fennovoima announced that it had
terminated the Hanhikivi 1 nuclear power plant deliv-
ery agreement made with Rosatom and cancelled the
construction permit application for the plant project.
Due to the higher project risk, SRV’s holding in Fenno-
Other risks
Pandemic risks
Uncertainty posed by the coronavirus pandemic has
decreased as the number of those who have been
vaccinated and who have had the illness has risen.
However, the future development of the pandemic still
involves risks, especially with respect to new variants of
the virus. In addition, potential problems caused by the
coronavirus in China, for example, may still have nega-
tive impacts on global delivery chains and thereby on the
availability of materials and construction costs.
SRV is still monitoring the evolving impacts of the
pandemic, and will take any necessary measures to
maintain health and well-being, prevent the spread of
the pandemic and ensure business continuity.
Russian country-specific risks
Russia’s war against Ukraine that started in February
2022 and the sanctions that were consequently imposed
had a substantial impact on SRV’s ability to operate in
Russia. The company recognised substantial impair-
ments of its Russian operations and decided to exit its
businesses and holdings in Russia on an accelerated
schedule. SRV wrote down its holdings in Russia and
Fennovoima almost in their entirety in April 2022. The
company carried out an extensive financing arrange-
ment to restructure its balance sheet to bolster equity.
As a result of the financing arrangement, SRV is practi-
cally net debt-free.
SRV’s investments in Russian shopping centres
are holdings in associated companies. Their sale has
been agreed upon in the shareholder agreement of
each investment. That is, the company cannot decide
on the sale of projects or their date of sale on its own. In
voima – valued at EUR 13.3 million in the 31 December
2021 annual accounts – was written down in its entirety
in the second quarter of 2022. After this write-down,
the investment commitment to Voimaosakeyhtiö SF
amounts to a maximum of EUR 18.7 million. That said,
the realisation of this investment commitment involves
significant uncertainty due to the status of the Hanhiki-
vi 1 project.
Cyber, information security and continuity risks
The functionality and security of information systems
play a key role in the company’s business operations.
The growing threat posed by cybercrime, personnel
misconduct, and system replacements and modernisa-
tion are risk factors that can result in the interruption of
operations, reputational damage and significant financial
losses. Cyberattacks and hacking of telecommunica-
tions, IT systems and the functionality of other infra-
structure are on the rise, which might cause disruptions
in the operations of SRV and its customers and imple-
mentation partners. Problems in the energy market
might also grow significantly, which could lead to energy
shortages and power outages, for instance.
With respect to cyber and information security
risks, SRV enhances its information security culture by
maintaining and communicating its information security
policy and guidelines as well as information security-re-
lated practices. SRV monitors external threats and con-
stantly keeps track of how the situation develops. Other
means of risk management include automatic virus
scans of systems and issuing separate warnings about
major information security threats.
SRV participated in TIETO22, a cybersecurity
exercise that was run by the National Emergency Supply
Organisation's Digipooli Network in 2022.

General Meetings
SRV held two General Meetings in 2022. The Annual
General Meeting was held on 28 March 2022 and an
Extraordinary General Meeting was held on 30 May
2022. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, both General
Meetings were held remotely on the basis of temporary
legislation (677/2020). Company shareholders could
attend the meeting and exercise their shareholders’
rights by voting in advance and submitting questions in
advance.
The Annual General Meeting approved all the
proposals made by the Board of Directors to the General
Meeting. The Annual General Meeting adopted SRV
Group Plc’s financial statements, including the consol-
idated financial statements, and discharged the Board
of Directors and the President & CEO from liability for
the financial period 1 January–31 December 2021 and
approved the 2021 Remuneration Report on the compa-
ny’s governing bodies.
Relating to the programme to reorganise the
company’s balance sheet, the Extraordinary Gen-
eral Meeting resolved on authorisations to issue
shares and special rights as proposed by the Board
of Directors. The Extraordinary General Meeting also
resolved to carry out a reverse share split and a re-

Heli Iisakka, M.Sc. (Econ.) were re-elected to the Board
of Directors. Tomi Yli-Kyyny was elected as the Chair
of the Board of Directors. The Annual General Meeting
confirmed that the following annual fees would be paid
to the members of the Board: Board Chair EUR 72,000,
Vice Chair EUR 48,000, Board member EUR 36,000,
and Chair of the Audit Committee EUR 48,000 if he/she
does not simultaneously act as Chair or Vice Chair of the
Board of Directors. In addition, Board Members will be
paid a fee of EUR 700 per meeting for Board and Com-
mittee meetings. Travel expenses arising from perform-
ing the duties of a member the Board of Directors are
paid according to the company’s travel policy.
The aforementioned annual fees will be paid in
SRV Group Plc’s shares and in cash, with approximate-
ly 40 per cent of the remuneration paid in shares. After
the transfer of shares, the remaining amount is to be
paid in cash. The company will acquire the shares in
the name and on behalf of the Board members. The
company is responsible for the costs arising from the
acquisition of the shares. The shares are to be acquired
for Board members within two weeks from the publish-
ing of the interim report for the first quarter of 2022, or
as soon as it is possible in accordance with applicable
legislation.
At its meeting after the AGM, the Board of Direc-
tors elected a Vice Chair, Tomi Kokkila, from among its
members. Heli Iisakka was elected as Chair of the Audit
Committee, and Hannu Leinonen and Timo Kokkila as
on 28 March 2022 is revoked upon the registration
of the reverse share split and replaced by an author-
isation with the same content, however, such that
the maximum number of shares to be issued under
the authorisation as of the registration of the reverse
share split shall not exceed 1,700,000 shares. In ad-
dition, the Extraordinary General Meeting resolved to
amend the authorisation given by the Annual General
Meeting on 28 March 2022 to acquire the company’s
own shares conditionally on the entry into force of
the reverse share split registration so that the au-
thorisation given on 28 March 2022 is revoked upon
registration of the reverse share split and replaced by
an authorisation with the same content, however, such
that the maximum number of shares to be acquired
under the authorisation as of the registration of the
reverse share split is at maximum 1,700,000 shares in
the company so that the number of shares acquired
on the basis of the authorisation, when combined with
the shares already owned by the company and its sub-
sidiaries, does not at any given time exceed a total of
10 per cent of all shares in the company. The amended
authorisations came into effect following the registra-
tion of the reverse share split on 4 July 2022 and will
remain in force until 30 June 2023.

Alternative performance measures used in interim reporting
The company discloses certain other widely used performance measures that can for the most
part be derived from the income statement and balance sheet. The formulas for these performance
measures are provided in the next page. In the company’s view, these measures clarify the result of
operations and financial position based on the income statement and balance sheet.
SRV presents key figures for operative operating profit and operating profit margin in the
interim report
The key figure for operative operating profit is considered to provide a better picture of the
Group’s operations when comparing the reported period to earlier periods. In accordance with
IFRS, the currency exchange rate gains and losses of associated companies as well as income
and expenses from hedging are eliminated from operating profit. The currency exchange rate
gains and losses of associated companies are included above operating profit on the line “share
of results of associated companies”. Income and expenses from currency hedging are included
above operating profit on the line “other operating expenses”.
SRV presents key figures excluding effect of IFRS 16 standard
The company publishes alternative key figures, that is, IFRS 16 key figures that have been
adjusted to exclude the impact of the IFRS 16 Leases standard on the balance sheet and result.
SRV is applying a simplified approach to adopting this standard, which is why the figures for
the comparison period have not been adjusted to comply with the standard. The figures are
considered to provide a better comparability to previous year figures.

Description of operations
SRV Group Plc and its subsidiaries (SRV Group) com-
prise one of Finland’s leading project management
contractors that builds and develops commercial and
business premises, housing as well as industrial and
logistics projects mostly in Finland. In line with the
Group’s strategy, business operations are organised into
two segments: Construction and Investments. The main
company is SRV Construction Ltd. The Construction
segment covers all of SRV’s construction activities in-
cluding the capital and plots required for developer-con-
tracted housing production. It is SRV’s intention to de-
velop, build and sell these plots to a faster schedule than
those we report on in the Investments segment. Con-
struction encompasses housing construction, business
construction, technical units and procurement, as well as
internal services in Finland and Russia. The Investments
segment encompasses both complete and incomplete
sites in which the company is a long-term investor. Plots
that SRV will develop itself, and whose expected profits
will be generated through development and longer-term
ownership, are also reported under Investments.
The Investments segment focuses on the man-
agement and realisation of the Group’s real estate
investments; the creation and ownership of new joint
investment structures; and the operation of selected
properties.
Other operations and eliminations include the
group functions of the parent company, SRV Group
Plc, and the Project Development Unit’s property and
project development activities. Group eliminations are
cost basis, except for financial assets and liabilities
at fair value through the income statement, financial
assets and liabilities measured at fair value through the
income statement and derivative contracts measured
at fair value as well as share-based payments which are
measured at fair value.
Following standards, interpretations and amend-
ments have been applied beginning from 1.1.2022:
Property, Plant and Equipment:
Proceeds before intended use
– Amendments to IAS 16
The amendment to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equip-
ment (PP&E) prohibits an entity from deducting from
the cost of an item of PP&E any proceeds received from
selling items produced while the entity is preparing the
asset for its intended use. It also clarifies that an entity
is ‘testing whether the asset is functioning properly’
when it assesses the technical and physical perfor-
mance of the asset. The financial performance of the
asset is not relevant to this assessment. Entities must
disclose separately the amounts of proceeds and costs
relating to items produced that are not an output of the
entity’s ordinary activities.
Reference to the Conceptual Framework
– Amendments to IFRS 3
Minor amendments were made to IFRS 3 Business
Combinations to update the references to the Concep-
tual Framework for Financial Reporting and add
also included in this unit. Deferred tax assets and liabil-
ities have been allocated in full to Other operations and
eliminations. SRV has no assets held for sale according
to IFRS 5 during the review period. On 4th March 2022,
SRV published a statement regarding possibilities of
accelerated detaching from Russia. After the state-
ment, the company has actively made efforts towards
this by negotiating the sale of its Russian assets. The
negotiations have not yielded any results. The uncer-
tainty in the market is exceptionally high, meaning the
schedule and probability of detaching from Russia is
hard to estimate.
The Group’s parent company, SRV Group Plc (the
Company), is a Finnish public limited company that is
domiciled in Espoo, Finland. The Company’s registered
address is Tarvonsalmenkatu 15, 02601 Espoo. The
Company’s Board of Directors approved these consoli-
dated financial statements on 28 February 2023.
Accounting policies
Basis of presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been
prepared on 31 December 2022 in accordance with
IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards).
International Financial Reporting Standards refer to the
standards and their interpretations issued and approved
for application within the EU in accordance with the pro-
cedure prescribed in EU regulation (EC) 1606/2002. The
financial statements are presented in thousands of eu-
ros unless otherwise stated. The consolidated financial
statements have been prepared based on a historical
an exception for the recognition of liabilities and con-
tingent liabilities within the scope of IAS 37 Provisions,
Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets and IFRIC
21 Levies. The amendments also confirm that contin-
gent assets should not be recognised at the acquisition
date. These updates do not change the accounting
requirements for business combinations.
Onerous Contracts – Cost of Fulfilling
a Contract Amendments to IAS 37
The amendment to IAS 37 clarifies that the direct costs
of fulfilling a contract include both the incremental
costs of fulfilling the contract and an allocation of other
costs directly related to fulfilling contracts. Before rec-
ognising a separate provision for an onerous contract,
the entity recognises any impairment loss that has
occurred on assets used in fulfilling the contract.
Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards
2018–2020
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments – clarifies which fees
should be included in the 10% test for derecognition of
financial liabilities. IFRS 16 Leases – amendment of illus-
trative example 13 to remove the illustration of payments
from the lessor relating to leasehold improvements,
to remove any confusion about the treatment of lease
incentives. IAS 41 Agriculture – removal of the require-
ment for entities to exclude cash flows for taxation when
measuring fair value under IAS 41. This amendment is
intended to align with the requirement in the standard to
discount cash flows on a post-tax basis.
Notes to the consolidated financial statements

Part of Financial Statements
Impacts of the coronavirus on SRV’s
financial reporting
SRV continuously assesses how the coronavirus
epidemic is developing and its potential impacts on fi-
nancial reporting. SRV uses certain stimulus measures
introduced in 2020 in response to the coronavirus epi-
demic. The company still uses payment arrangements
for VAT liabilities. At the end of 2021, other liabilities
included EUR 15.7 million in tax liabilities for which the
tax authorities had granted payment arrangements.
In accordance with these payment arrangements, the
company repaid the tax liabilities in full in June 2022.
Interest of 2.5 per cent is paid on the liabilities covered
by the payment arrangement.
Possible effects of war in Ukraine
to SRV’s business
Many of the risk positions involved in the construction
industry have increased significantly due to the war
in Ukraine. Although the general economy has been
recovering from the economic consequences of the
coronavirus pandemic in Finland as well, uncertainty
about the outlook for the future has grown substantial-
ly due to the war. Many forecasting institutions have
downgraded their estimates for near-term economic
growth that they issued at the beginning of the year.
Economic uncertainty might be negatively reflected
in the confidence of both companies and consumers,
and thereby also on construction and housing sales.
This risk is increased by accelerating inflation and the
now rising interest rates. Furthermore, the availability
of certain raw and construction materials and energy in
particular may be hampered by the sanctions imposed
by western countries and Russia, thereby further
rights of the lenders came into effect and thus the loans
were recorded in current interest-bearing liabilities on
31 March 2022. For this reason, the company and the
lenders of its Financing Facility agreed on a standstill
period lasting until 30 June 2022 during which the lend-
ers waived their rights to demand early repayment and
termination as a result of the write-downs of assets in
Russia, subject to the continuation of said restructuring
of financing. As the successful restructuring of financing
had not been confirmed when the interim report for the
period ending 31 March 2022 was published, the oper-
ations of the company were subject to material uncer-
tainty. After the publication of the interim report for the
period ending 31 March 2022, the company completed
written procedures regarding its Notes and Hybrid
Bonds as well as organised a rights issue that increased
the company’s equity by a total amount of EUR 32.3 mil-
lion. The company estimates that the successful execu-
tion of these measures has eliminated the uncertainties
related to the going concern.
Assets recognised as revenue over time are con-
trolled by the customer, and the revenue and expenses
of these customer projects are recognised as revenue
and expenses based on percentage of completion, when
the outcome of the project can be reliably estimated.
Percentage of completion is determined by calculating
for each project the share of expenses accrued by the
balance sheet date relative to total expenses estimated
for each project. The amount corresponding to the per-
centage of completion is recognised as revenue.When
it is probable that total costs necessary to complete
a project will exceed total revenue obtained from the
project, the expected loss is recognised immediately as
an expense.
increasing construction costs. Cyberattacks and
hacking of telecommunications and IT systems might
increase, causing disruptions in the operations of SRV
and its customers and partners.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance
with IFRS requires the Group’s management to make
certain estimates and exercise judgement in applying
accounting policies. The estimates and assumptions
have an effect on balance sheet assets and liabilities as
well as on revenues, expenses and contingent liabilities
for the reporting revenue recognition of construction
contracts, in the measurement of current assets, in the
measurement of warranty and other provisions, in the
valuation of investments in associates and joint ven-
tures, in the recognition of current income tax assets
and liabilities, and the measurement of assets held for
sale.
Due to the impairment of Russian business oper-
ations as a result of Russia’s war against Ukraine and
the related economic sanctions, the company’s equity
decreased substantially; this had a significant impact on
equity ratio and gearing in the company’s interim report
for the period ending 31 March 2022. The equity ratio
calculated as per the covenants of financing agreements
was 12.3 per cent at 31 March 2022, taking into account
the recognition of income from developer-contracted
projects on the basis of percentage of completion. The
equity ratio covenant for bonds with total capital of
about EUR 100 million was no longer met. In addition,
the equity ratio and gearing covenants of the company’s
Financing Facility were no longer met. As the covenants
were no longer met, the termination and early repayment
Development and developer-contracted projects
may includes variable considerations that may result, for
example, from delay penalties and lease liabilities. Rec-
ognition of revenue is deferred for the estimated rental
liability and this estimated share of project revenue is
recognised as an advance received. Rental security
deposits reduce project-related advances received.
Uncertainties associated with signed lease agreements
are taken into account in recognition of revenue.
The Group carries out an annual impairment testing
of goodwill and intangible assets having an indefinite use-
ful life. The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units
have been defined on the basis of value-in-use calcula-
tions. The preparation of these calculations requires use
of estimates. Warranty provisions and 10-year warranty
provisions are recorded when the amount of the pro-
vision can be estimated reliably. The recorded amount
is the best estimate of the expected cost that will be
required to meet the claim as of the balance sheet date.
The estimate concerning probability of costs is based on
previous similar events and previous experience and it
requires judgement from the Group management.
When preparing the financial statements the Group
estimates the net realisable value of current assets and
the possible consequent need for write down. Estimates
of net realisable value are based on the most reliable evi-
dence available at the time the estimates are made as to
the amount the inventories are expected to realise. As-
sessing the need for impairment of inventory items may
require management to make estimates of matters such
as the future costs of development and construction, the
future income and expenses accruing from the item, the
market return requirement at the time of realisation and
the sale value of the item.
54
Part of Financial Statements
The Group assesses the value of these investments
in connection with financial statements and when there
are indication of impairment. Based on an assessment
of the value of the associated companies and joint
ventures that own completed properties, a valuation
calculation is prepared for properties. For significant in-
vestments, the Group obtains external property assess-
ments, if necessary. The determination of the present
value of investments is subject to assessment because
present value calculations include, for example, future
rental income, rental discounts given, turnover-based
rental income, occupancy rate, the running costs of the
property and the required return (yield) assumptions.
When preparing the financial statements, the Group
especially estimates if there is a need for recognition of
deferred taxes. The Group prepares an estimate about
the probability of the profits of group companies against
which the unused tax losses or unused tax credits can
be used.
Consolidated Financial Statements
Subsidiaries
The consolidated financial statements comprise all such
companies that belong to parent company SRV Group
Plc where the Group has authority. The Group has au-
thority in a company if the Group, by being involved in it,
is susceptible to or entitled to its changing revenue, and
is capable of exerting an impact on the revenue con-
cerned by applying its authority in a manner that affects
the company concerned. The subsidiaries will be com-
bined within the consolidated financial statements from
the day that authority is transferred to the Group, and
the combination will end on the day when this authority
ceases. The balance sheet items of self-sufficient con-
struction projects are comprised within the consolidated
financial statements.
The financial statements of the SRV Group have
been consolidated using the purchase method. Acqui-
sition cost is determined by taking into account funds
given as consideration and measured at fair value,
and liabilities assumed, as well as the direct costs of
an acquisition. Acquired and identifiable assets and
liabilities are measured at fair value at the acquisition
date, irrespective of the size of any non-controlling
interests. The amount by which the cost exceeds the
fair value of Group’s share of the net identifiable assets
acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the acquisition cost
is less than the fair value of the acquired subsidiary’s
net assets, this difference is recorded directly to the
income statement.
The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been
changed as necessary to correspond the Group’s
accounting policies. Intra-group transactions, receiv-
ables and liabilities as well as unrealised gains on
intra-group transactions are eliminated in the con-
solidated financial statements. Unrealised losses are
eliminated if the loss is not caused by impairment.
The group recognises non-controlling interests
in an acquired entity either at fair value or at the
non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the
acquired entity’s net identifiable assets.
Non-controlling interests has been presented
separately after Net profit for the period and in Total
equity. Losses applicable to non-controlling inter-
ests in a subsidiary are allocated to non-controlling
interests, even if doing so causes the non-controlling
interests to have a negative balance.
Changes in the ownership share of the parent
company in the subsidiary that do not lead to the loss
of authority are treated as business operations affect-
ing equity. When the authority of the Group ceases,
the remaining ownership share is valuated to the fair
value of authority on the loss date, and the change in
book value is entered as effect on income. This fair
value functions as an original book value when the
remaining share is later treated as an associated com-
pany, joint venture or as financial assets. In addition,
amounts entered previously into other comprehen-
sive income-based items respective to the enterprise
concerned will be treated as if the Group had directly
transferred the assets and liabilities connected with
them. This may mean that amounts entered previously
into other comprehensive income-based items will be
transferred as effect on income.
Associated companies and Joint ventures
Associated companies are all enterprises in which the
Group has considerable influence, but not authority. This
is generally based on share ownership that generates
20–50% of the voting rights.
A joint arrangement is an arrangement of which
two or more parties have joint control. Joint control is
the jointly agreed sharing of control of an arrangement,
which exists only when decisions about the relevant
activities require the unanimous consent of the parties
sharing control. A joint arrangement is either a joint
operation or a joint venture. A joint venture is an ar-
rangement whereby the parties that have joint control
of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the
arrangement, whereas in a joint operation the parties
that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to
the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to
the arrangement.
The Group has applied the IFRS 11 standard to all
joint arrangements from the outset of 2014 onwards. Ac-
cording to IFRS 11, the joint arrangements are classified
as joint operations or joint ventures in compliance with
the investors' contractual rights and obligations. The
Group has assessed the character of its joint arrange-
ments and has determined that they are joint ventures.
The associated companies and joint ventures are
combined in the consolidated financial statements by
using the capital share method. If the Group's share of
associated company and joint venture losses exceeds
the book value of the investment, the investment will be
entered into the balance sheet with a value of zero, and
the losses exceeding book value will be combined, un-
less the Group is not obligated to fulfilling the obligations
of the associated company and joint venture. Associat-
ed company and joint venture investment contains the
goodwill that has been generated from its acquisition.
Non-realised profits and losses between the Group and
associated companies and joint ventures are eliminat-
ed in accordance with the Group's ownership share.
Non-realised losses are not eliminated if the transaction
suggests a reduction in value of the transferred asset.
The Group’s ownership share from the share of finan-
cial year results from an associated company and joint
venture is presented before business profit. The Group’s
share of the comprehensive income items of associated
companies and joint ventures is presented, however,
in consolidated comprehensive income. These arise
particularly from the Group’s share of the translation
differences of associated companies and joint ventures
operating in foreign currency.
55
Part of Financial Statements
The financial statement formulation principles ob-
served by an associated company and joint venture have
been amended as required to comply with the principles
the Group observes.
In accordance with the Group’s accounting princi-
ples, Group management judges the depreciation period
for the finished asset as beginning after a period of two
years, when the probability of sale, occupancy rate and
other important criteria will be evaluated. Depreciation
entries on asset items must begin no later than three
years after the completion of the asset item.
Foreign currency transactions
Functional and presentation currency
Items of each group company included in the consolidat-
ed financial statements are measured using the curren-
cy that best reflects the economic substance of the un-
derlying events and circumstances relevant to the Group
Company (the functional currency). The functional
currency of a group company may therefore differ from
the currency used in its country of location. The consoli-
dated financial statements are presented in euros, which
is the parent company's functional currency.
Group companies
The income statements of those subsidiaries whose
functional currency is not Euro are translated into euros
using the average monthly rate. The balance sheets of
subsidiaries are translated into euros using the rates
at the balance sheet date. The translation differences
arising from the use of different exchange rates are
recorded in Translation differences under equity. In
so far as the loans between the group companies are
considered part of net investment in foreign subsidiar-
ies, the currency exchange differences are recorded in
Translation differences. When a foreign subsidiary is sold,
the cumulative translation differences are recognised in
the income statement as part of the capital gain or loss.
Transactions and balance sheet items
Transactions denominated in foreign currency are recorded
using the exchange rate on the date of the transaction. Mon-
etary foreign currency items in the balance sheet are meas-
ured using the exchange rate at the closing date. Non-mon-
etary items denominated in foreign currency are measured
using the exchange rate on the date of the transaction.
Exchange rate gains and losses on business operations are
included in corresponding items above operating profit.
Exchange rate differences of financing items are included in
financial income and expenses.
Income recognition
Construction contracts
Sales revenue is recognised when control over goods or
services is transferred to the customer. The customer ob-
tains control when it is able to direct the use of goods or
services and to obtain the benefit from them. The Group’s
sales revenues consist of various types of residential and
commercial projects as well as other sales. The revenue
recognition practice is described in more detail in Note
3. A share equivalent to SRV’s own holding is eliminated
from the margin of construction carried out for associ-
ated companies and joint ventures. This elimination is
recognised as a reduction in revenue and is entered into
the balance sheet under Advances received. The margin
is realised when the holding is sold to an external party.
Order backlog
A construction project is included in the order backlog
when the construction contract of the project has been
signed or the decision to start construction has been
made, and the contract agreement has been signed in
developer contracting projects. In developer-contracted
projects, the order backlog includes the plot in addition to
consisting of the share of the projects not yet recognised
as revenue (including the plot). The order backlog also
includes completed and unsold housing and business
properties. The value of the order backlog is the expect-
ed amount of revenue to be recognised for projects.
Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs in projects that are implemented for
clients outside the Group are recognised as expenses in
the period in which they are incurred. In developer con-
tracted housing projects, part of interest on borrowing
costs is activated during the construction period (this is
described in the section of the accounting policies cov-
ering inventories) and is recognised as an expense when
the project is sold. These interest expenses are entered
as project expenses above operating profit. In develop-
er contracting of business premises, interest expenses
are activated on the basis of management’s estimates,
as the sales prices of projects are not always known in
advance.
Research and development expenditure
SRV Group does not have any actual research and
development expenses. The Group has business-related
project development costs, and the treatment of these
is described in the section of the accounting policies
covering inventories.
IFRS 16 Leases
According to the standard, all leases, except those
subject to special exemptions under the standard, are
recognised in the balance sheet. For all leases, a right-
of-use asset (the right to use the leased asset) is recog-
nised as an asset in the balance sheet and a financial
liability representing the obligation to make lease
payments is recognised in liabilities. In the income
statement lease expenses are presented in depreci-
ation and in financial expenses line. In the cash flow
statement, lease payments are presented in the item
‘interest paid and other expenses from financial costs’
and the items ‘proceeds from loans’ and ‘repayment
of lease liabilities’ under the cash flow from financing
activities.
Group leasing activities and their
accounting treatment
Land leases form the most significant proportion of the
right-of-use assets on SRV Group’s balance sheet. Land
leases are usually long-term and are typically made on
behalf of a real estate company being established. When
the real estate company is sold and its management is
transferred to the buyer, the lease and its obligations
transfer to the buyer of the property. In addition to land
leases, other significant leases include, for example,
leases for the company’s fixed operating locations,
and leases for site equipment and vehicles. Leases for
offices are generally made initially for a fixed term. The
duration of the fixed term is generally 5 to 10 years, after
which the lease continues for an indefinite period with
6-12 months’ notice of termination. Leases for site equip-
ment are generally made for an indefinite period with
no specific notice of termination. Equipment is typically
56
Part of Financial Statements
leased for 1 month to 12 months. Leases for vehicles are
made for fixed terms and their duration is generally 24
months.
In its reporting, the company applies two exemp-
tions included in the standard that relate to short-term
leases and to leases where the underlying asset is of
low value. Leases whose lease term is no more than 12
months and indefinite leases whose notice of termina-
tion is less than 12 months are considered to be short-
term leases. The most significant short-term leases
are mainly for site equipment. Low-value assets mainly
include IT equipment and small items of office furniture.
In addition, some minor leases, for example for vehicles
and IT equipment are treated as a group according to
the bundling principle.
At the commencement of the contract, the lease
liability is valued at the present value of the lease
payments payable over the lease term. In determining
the present value of lease payments, an estimate of the
lease term is required in some circumstances. Such
situations, for example, relate to leases that have options
to extend or terminate the lease. Such an option is taken
into account in determining the lease term if it is rea-
sonably certain that the option will be exercised. The
lease liability also includes the amount to be paid on the
basis of any residual value guarantee and the possible
exercise price of a purchase option, if it is reasonably
certain that the option will be exercised. There may also
be penalty payments for terminating the lease. Such
penalties are included in the amount of the lease liability
if it is considered during the lease term that the Group
will exercise this option.
Lease payments are discounted at the interest
rate implicit in the lease if the interest rate is readily
determinable, otherwise the interest rate on the lessee’s
incremental borrowing rate is used. Under IFRS 16, the
lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest
that the lessee would have to pay to borrow, over a sim-
ilar term and with similar security, the funds necessary
to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use
asset in a similar economic environment. Land leases
account for more than 90% of SRV Group’s right-of-
use assets, and the interest rate implicit in the leases is
always used as their discount rate. For other leases, the
rate implicit in the lease is primarily used and, alterna-
tively, the incremental borrowing rate. The incremental
borrowing rate is an estimate of what the company
would have to pay to borrow, over a similar term and with
similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset
of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar
economic environment.
The acquisition cost of a right-of-use asset consists
of the liability initially measured under the lease, any
lease payments paid by the commencement date of the
lease, any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee and
the costs of restoration to the original condition. Any
incentives received are deducted from the acquisition
cost of the underlying asset. Subsequent measurement
of the right-of-use asset is based on the acquisition
cost model, whereby the right-of-use asset is measured
at acquisition cost less depreciation and impairment.
Depreciation is recognised on a straight-line basis over
the lease term. If the lease transfers the ownership of
the underlying asset to the lessee by the end of the
lease term or if the acquisition cost of the underlying
item takes into account that the lessee will exercise the
option to purchase, the underlying asset is amortised
over its useful life.
The Group is exposed to possible increases in
variable rents based on an index or price that are not
taken into account in the lease liability until they occur.
When changes in rents based on an index or price occur,
the lease liability is reassessed and adjusted against
the right-of-use asset. The rents paid are allocated to
capital and financial expenses. Financial expenses are
recognised through profit and loss over the lease term,
such that the interest rate of the outstanding liability is
the same in each period.
Accounting principle for plot leases
The SRV Group presents right-of-use assets related
to leased plots as inventories, because plots directly
owned by the Group are presented as inventories and
the same principle is also applied in the presentation of
right-of-use assets. From the beginning of construction,
the depreciations of the leased plots are recognised as
part of the cost of the construction project. The interest
expense on the lease liability presented in balance sheet
liabilities is capitalised as part of the cost of the con-
struction project.
Accounting principle for premises leases
The SRV Group presents right-of-use assets related to
premises in the balance sheet in non-current assets and
in financial liabilities in respect of the obligation to make
lease payments in liabilities. The most significant prem-
ise lease in the SRV Group is the lease for the company’s
head office.
Accounting principle for site equipment leases
Leases for site equipment are almost without excep-
tion typically leases with an indefinite lease term.
Such leases generally entitle the company to decide
to terminate the contract for each leased item at its
chosen time. Site equipment is generally leased to the
site for a special work stage, in which case the lease
term is usually for less than 12 months. Due to the
short lease terms and flexible termination conditions,
the exemption for short-term leases under IFRS 16 is
generally applied to site equipment leases. If, however,
a site equipment lease is made for a fixed term, and the
lease is not low-value, the lease is subject to the same
accounting principle as described above for premises
leases.
Accounting principle for office equipment leases
Leases for IT equipment typically concern office IT
equipment such as printers, multifunction devices and
computers. The exemption for low-value asset items
is applied to these assets. Leases for IT equipment
also include contracts that cannot be considered to be
low-value and short-term. Such agreements include,
for example, IT server leases. The same accounting
principle as described above for premises leases is
applied to such leases, but such that the asset items
are treated as a single entity in accordance with the
bundling principle. IT equipment lease terms are typi-
cally 24 or 48 months long.
Accounting principle for leased vehicles
Leases of leased vehicles are subject to the same ac-
counting principle as described above for premises leas-
es, but such that the asset items are treated as a single
entity in accordance with the bundling principle. Leases
for leased vehicles are typically 24 months long.
57
Part of Financial Statements
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment is entered into the con-
solidated balance sheet at acquisition cost less accu-
mulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment
losses. Acquisition cost includes the expenses directly
related to acquiring the asset. Assets are subject to
straight-line depreciation over the estimated useful
financial life of the asset. Land and water areas are not
depreciated because the useful financial life of these
assets cannot be determined.
Depreciation is recognised as an expense over the
estimated useful financial life of an asset as follows:
• Buildings: 40–60 years
• Production machinery and equipment: 3–10 years
• Office fittings: 3–10 years
• IT equipment: 3–5 years
• Vehicles and rolling stock: 5 years
• Other tangible assets: 5–10 years
The carrying amounts and economic lives of prop-
erty, plant and equipment are estimated and values
adjusted as needed. The Group estimates at every
balance sheet date if there is a need for impairment. If
the carrying amount of an asset item exceeds the es-
timated recoverable amount, the carrying amount is
lowered to correspond the recoverable amount. When
controlling interest is lost in current asset company
in a transaction carried out, its remaining holding is
measured at fair value. Capital gains and losses on
property, plant and equipment are included in the
income statement, other operating income or other
operating expenses.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets which have a limited useful life are val-
ued at historical cost and amortised over their estimated
economic life (3–5 years). Intangible assets which have
an unlimited useful life are tested yearly for impairment.
Goodwill is the excess of the cost of the busi-
ness combination over the fair value of the Group’s
share of acquired net assets. Goodwill is subject to an
annual impairment test. For this purpose, goodwill has
been allocated to cash-generating units. Goodwill is
measured at historical cost less impairment. Impair-
ment is expensed directly to the income statement.
Assets which are depreciated or amortised are
always tested for impairment when events or changes
in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may
not be recovered. Impairment is recorded through
profit and loss to the extent that the carrying amount
of the asset item exceeds the recoverable amount.
The recoverable amount is the higher of the following:
the fair value of the asset item less selling costs or its
value-in-use.
Financial assets and liabilities
The Group classifies its financial assets and liabilities in
the following groups:
Financial assets: Financial assets at amortised
cost or at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabil-
ities: Financial liabilities recognised at fair value through
profit or loss, or at amortised cost using the effective
interest rate method. The Group measures financial as-
sets at amortised cost when the objective of the business
model is to hold the assets and collect all the contractual
cash flows, and when the contractual cash flows of the
instrument consist only of payments of principal and
interest. All other financial assets are recognised and
measured in the Group at fair value through profit or loss.
A Group entity records financial assets and liabil-
ities in its balance sheet when – and only when – it be-
comes a party to the contractual terms and conditions
of the instrument. When an entity recognises a financial
asset for the first time, it must classify financial assets
and financial liabilities into the categories specified
above. A Group entity derecognises a financial asset
item from the balance sheet when the contractual rights
to the cash flows from the financial asset cease to exist
or when it transfers the financial asset to another party
and a significant part of the risks and benefits of owner-
ship have been transferred to the other party. A financial
liability is derecognised from the balance sheet when the
obligation specified in the contract has been discharged,
cancelled or expired. Financial assets are long-term
when their maturity is over 12 months and short-term
when the remaining maturity is less than 12 months.
Other financial assets are included in long-term finan-
cial assets unless there is an intention to relinquish the
investment within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
Financial liabilities are classified as short-term if their
maturity is under 12 months or if the Group does not
have the absolute right to repay them at least 12 months
after the end of the reporting period. Otherwise they are
classified as long-term.
Derivative instruments
The Group designates derivative instruments at the
time of entering into the contract as either cash flow
hedges of business or financing cash flows or as hedg-
es of investments in foreign entities. Derivatives are
entered into for hedging purposes and on their basis
the receivables and liabilities in the balance sheet are
small. Contracts concluded with the counterparties of
derivative instruments are based on the ISDA Master
Agreement. According to the terms of the arrangements,
if certain events occur (such as payment default), the
net receivable or liability position of an individual coun-
terparty in the same currency is designated as a liability
and all related arrangements are terminated. As SRV
does not have a legally enforceable offsetting right at the
closing date, said amounts have not been deducted from
each other in the balance sheet. The Group’s Treasury
unit is responsible for the hedge transactions according
to the policy approved by the Board of Directors. During
the fiscal years 2022 and 2021 there were no hedges
qualifying for IFRS hedge accounting.
Items recognised at fair value through profit or loss
The derivative instruments used by the Group are
classified at fair value through profit or loss. Derivatives
are initially recognised in the balance sheet at fair value
on the transaction day and thereafter measured at fair
value on each balance sheet date. The fair value of
interest rate swaps is usually zero at the original time of
recognition. Changes in fair values of interest rate swaps
are recognised in the income statement under other
financial income and expenses and in the balance sheet
under financial assets or liabilities. Foreign exchange
option premiums are considered to amount to the fair
value at the time of acquisition.
Changes in the fair values of foreign exchange
forward contracts and options are recognised in the
income statement under other financial income and
expenses, because they are used primarily to hedge
against currency rate gains and losses included in the
58
Part of Financial Statements
share of associated companies’ income. Other financial
assets may include both quoted and non-quoted shares
and they are measured at fair value through profit or
loss. The fair value of the investment is determined on
the basis of the investment’s bid price. In the event that
there are no quoted bid prices for the other financial
assets, the Group will apply various valuation methods to
their valuation. These are, for example, recent transac-
tions between independent interests, discounted cash
flows, or other similar types of instrument valuations.
Measured at amortised cost
Financial assets measured at amortised cost are trade
receivables, other receivables and loan receivables from
associated companies. Financial assets measured at
amortised cost are initially measured at fair value less
transaction costs. After initial recognition, they are rec-
ognised at amortised cost. Interest is recognised in the
income statement over the maturity of the loan using the
effective interest method.
Impairment
In the recognition of expected credit losses, the Group
applies an approach according to which all trade receiv-
ables and contractual assets are reviewed separately
and expected credit losses recognised over the entire
applicable duration.
The project customers are mainly large, well-known
companies with solid finances. If there is no information
on the customer's solvency, the information is checked
from public trade and credit information registers, with a
security deposit required if necessary. For international
commercial premises projects, more detailed customer
background checks are carried out for new customers.
Due to the business model and customer profile de-
scribed in the previous paragraph, the Group has not in-
curred any material credit losses over the last few years,
and no material credit losses are expected regarding the
items included in the balance sheet at the closing date.
Loan receivables from associated companies and
joint ventures are tested for impairment using a three-
stage model.
1. The Group’s management first reviews the
expected cash flows for the loan receivables from
associated companies and joint ventures together
with the associated company investments and
regularly assesses whether the credit risk related
to the receivables has increased significantly
after they were initially recorded. If the credit risk
associated with a receivable is deemed to be low
or if the credit risk has not significantly increased
after it was initially recorded, the receivable is
included in Stage 1 and the impairment is measured
based on an estimate of the probability of credit
losses occurring within 12 months.
2. If it is discovered that the credit risk concerning a
loan receivable has increased significantly, the loan
receivables are transferred to Stage 2, in which
case the associated likelihood of loss is assessed
over the entire lifetime. In this case, the credit
loss is recorded for the entire lifetime of the loan
receivable and calculated by comparing future
estimated cash flows for the entire lifetime with
contractual cash flows. At closing date, the balance
sheet included no loan receivables included in
Stage 2.
3. If loan receivables are found to be impaired as a
result of a credit risk, they are transferred to Stage 3.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash, current bank
deposits as well as other current liquid investments with
a maturity not exceeding three months. Bank overdrafts
are included in current liabilities in the balance sheet.
Non-current assets held for sale
Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their
carrying amount will be recovered principally through a
sale transaction rather than through continuing use and
a sale is considered highly probable. They are measured
at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less
costs to sell. An impairment loss is recognised for any
initial or subsequent write-down of the asset to fair value
less costs to sell. A gain is recognised for any subse-
quent increases in fair value less costs to sell of an asset,
but not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss
previously recognised. A gain or loss not previously rec-
ognised by the date of the sale of the noncurrent asset
is recognised at the date of derecognition. Non-current
assets are not depreciated or amortised while they are
classified as held for sale. Interest and other expenses
attributable to the liabilities related to non-current as-
sets classified as held for sale continue to be recognised.
Non-current assets classified as held for sale are
presented separately from the other assets in the bal-
ance sheet. The liabilities related to non-current assets
classified as held for sale are presented separately from
other liabilities in the balance sheet.
Hybrid bonds
The hybrid bonds (equity loans) do not have maturi-
ty dates at which the holder of the loan can demand
repayment of the loan. The hybrid bonds are unsecured
and subordinated to the Company’s other debt instru-
ments but senior to other equity instruments. However,
the hybrid bonds do not confer shareholders’ rights to
bondholders.
Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost
Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost are
initially recognised at fair value. Transaction costs have
been included in the original carrying amount of financial
liabilities. Interest is recognised in the income statement
over the maturity of the loan using the effective inter-
est method. Financial liabilities are recognised under
non-current and current liabilities and they can be inter-
est-bearing or non-interest-bearing.
The liability for repaying the principal and inter-
est on company loans is transferred to the buyer of
the apartment at apartment assignment. Regardless
of whether the project is completed or not, but not yet
assigned to the buyer, the principal and interest for the
share of liabilities is presented in full in SRV’s consoli-
dated balance sheet, calculated until the due date of the
loan. Interest and principal are removed from the table
only when control is assigned.
Inventories
The costing of raw materials and consumables is
measured using weighted average cost method. The
balance sheet item “Work in progress” comprises the
cost of construction work and plot for uncompleted
construction projects not yet expensed. The acquisition
costs included in the Work in progress are raw materials,
direct cost of labour, other direct costs, indirect costs of
purchase and construction as well as borrowing costs in
certain cases. In SRV’s developer-contracted housing
59
Part of Financial Statements
projects, part of interest expenses on borrowing is cap-
italised during the construction period in current assets
in accordance with the Group’s capitalization rate. Dur-
ing the reporting period, SRV changed its capitalisation
practice such that, with respect to developer-contract-
ed housing projects, interest expenses on borrowing are
capitalized primarily using the project-specific financing
cost. If the proportion of project-specific financing is not
significant, the Group’s capitalisation rate is used in cap-
italising interest expenses. The significance of project
financing obtained for developer-contracted housing
projects has grown during the reporting period and, in
addition, the cost of borrowing is currently significantly
lower than the Group’s average interest rate, so the new
practice will, in the company’s view, result in a more
correct capitalisation of interest expenses. In the com-
parison year, the Group’s general financing was mainly
used for developer-contracted housing projects, and as
a result the revision of the capitalization practice would
not, in the company’s view, have a substantial impact
on the comparison periods presented in the financial
statements.
The balance sheet item “Land areas and plot-own-
ing companies” comprises costs of development stage
projects. The costs that are considered to increase the
value of land areas and plot-owning companies are cap-
italised. The balance sheet item “Shares in completed
housing corporations and real-estate companies”
comprises unsold completed projects. The balance
sheet item “Advance payments” comprises advance
payments in connection with the inventories. The bal-
ance sheet item “Other inventories” comprises share
capitals from projects of which the decision to start
construction has not yet been made and the property
bought for resale.
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net
realisable value. In ordinary business, net realisable
value is the estimated selling price which is obtainable,
less the estimated costs incurred in bringing the product
to its present condition and selling expenses. The net
realisable value of land areas and plot-owning compa-
nies is based on their expected use. The net realisable
value of land areas and plot-owning companies part of
the net realisable value of the entire project. Land areas
and plot-owning companies are impaired only if it is
forecast that the project as a whole will result in a loss.
If it is expected that a land area or plot-owning company
will be realised by sale, the net realisable value is based
on the estimated market price. The net realisable value
of work in progress and completed housing corpora-
tions and real-estate companies is based on their selling
price at the expected time of sale. Rental costs remitted
to an external party can be activated to book value for
the asset assigned to rent; e.g. the rental agency's fees.
Sales and marketing costs are not activated costs. In
preparing the asset, the activated rental costs should be
entered as expenditure along with the average duration
of the rental agreements. The margin generated from
rental services sold by the associated company and joint
venture should be eliminated in relation to the ownership
share.
Expenses arising from construction plans for plots
managed mainly by SRV and classified as current assets
are deemed eligible for activation when they can be
reliably to have a positive impact on the value of the plot
or project.
These expenses can be capitalised before a deci-
sion is made on the launch of construction.
Income taxes
Tax expense in the income statement comprises current
taxes and deferred taxes. Current tax is calculated
based on the taxable income for the financial period us-
ing the statutory tax rate that is in force in each country
at the balance sheet date (and local tax legislation). Tax-
es are recognised in the income statement, other than
those related to items of other comprehensive income or
items directly recognised as equity.
Taxes are adjusted for any taxes for previous peri-
ods. Deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognised on
temporary differences arising between the tax bases
of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in
the consolidated financial statements. The deferred tax
asset is recognised for unused losses and all tempo-
rary differences. Deferred taxes are not recognised in
connection with investments made in subsidiaries when
the Group can control the timing of the reversal of the
temporary difference, and the temporary difference will
probably not be reversed in the foreseeable future. A tax
asset is recognised to the extent when it is probable that
the asset can be utilised against future taxable income. If
a Group company has made a loss in the immediate past,
then, of the taxable loss, an imputed tax asset is recog-
nised only up to the amount where the company has suf-
ficient taxable temporary differences or other convincing
evidence of the ability to utilise the taxable loss.
Employee benefits
Pension liabilities
Group companies have various pension plans in accord-
ance with the local regulations and practices of each
country of operation. Pension plans are funded through
contributions paid to insurance companies based on
paid salaries and wages. The Group has only defined
contribution plans. The payments in connection with
Group’s defined contribution plans are recognised in the
income statement in the period which they relate to.
Share-based payment
The Group applies IFRS 2 Share-based Payment
standard on its share-based incentive schemes. Share-
based incentive scheme share settled transactions are
valued at fair value by using the share price at the time
of granting and paid in cash are valued at fair value in
every interim and annual closing. Changes in value are
recognised in the income statement over their effective
period. The share-based payments of the Group are
cash or share settled transactions.
Provisions
A provision is recognised when the company has a
legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past
event, the payment obligation is probable and the
amount of obligation can be reliably estimated. If com-
pensation can be received from a third party for a part
of the obligation, the compensation is recognised as a
separate item when it is virtually certain that the com-
pensation will be received. A provision is recognised
for a loss-making contract when the costs required to

incentive scheme share settled transactions are valued
at fair value by using the share price at the time of

nised in the income statement over their effective peri-

separate item when it is virtually certain that the com-

for a loss-making contract when the costs required to
meet the obligations exceed the benefits received from
the contract.
SRV and its subsidiaries are reengaged in several
legal proceedings which relate to ordinary business or to
other processes. The result of these legal proceedings
and processes is difficult to predict. In case of litigation,
a provision is recognised in the financial statements ac-
cording to the mentioned accounting policies when there
is a legal or constructive obligation against a third-party,
a payment obligation is probable and the amount of an
obligation can be reliably estimated.
Warranty provisions comprise the costs resulting
from the repair of completed projects if the warranty
period is still in effect at the balance sheet date. The
amount of provision is based on prior experience of the
materialisation of warranty expenses. It is expected that
warranty provisions are used during within two years
from the completion of the project.
The level of the construction industry’s 10-year
warranty provision is based on index-adjusted histori-
cal information or the estimated total costs of certain
individual projects. It is expected that a 10-year provision
will be used over the ten years following the completion
of the project.
Dividends
The dividend pay-out proposed by the Board of Direc-
tors to the Annual General Meeting is recognised in the
financial statements when the company’s shareholders
have approved the relevant resolution at the Annual
General Meeting.

1 SEGMENT INFORMATION
Segment information has been presented in accordance with IFRS 8 and following the accounting principles of the
consolidated financial statements and the Group’s management and organisational structure.
Pricing of transactions between segments takes place at current market prices. The assets and liabilities of seg-
ments are business items which the segments use in their operations or which on a reasonable basis can be allocated
to the segments. Unallocated items include income tax and financial items as well as items common to the entire
Group.
Operating segments
SRV Group has the following operating segments:
Construction
The Construction covers all of SRV’s construction activities, including the capital and plots required for
developer-contracted housing production. It is SRV’s intention to develop, build and sell these plots to a faster sched-
ule than those we report on in the Investments segment. Construction encompasses housing construction, business
construction, technical units and procurement as well as internal services in Finland and Russia. Construction em-
ploys approximately 800 people, i.e. the most of SRV’s personnel.
Investments
The Investments segment focuses on the management and realisation of the Group’s real estate investments, the
creation and ownership of new joint investment structures, and the operation of selected properties. Investments
encompasses both complete and incomplete sites in which the company is a long-term investor. Plots that SRV will
develop itself, and whose expected profits will be generated through development and longer-term ownership, are
also reported on under Investments.
Other operations and eliminations
Other operations and eliminations include the group functions of the parent company, SRV Group Plc, and the
Project Development Unit’s property and project development activities. Group eliminations are also included in this
unit. development activities. Group eliminations are also included in this unit. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
allocated in full to Other operations and eliminations.
Operating segment information
Segment information is reported in a manner consistent with internal reporting to the Chief Operating Decision Mak-
er (CODM, as per IFRS 8). The CODM is the Group President & CEO, who is assisted decision-making by the Corpo-
rate Executive Team. Internal management reporting is consistent with segment reporting.
In the financial year 2022, the Group had no significant customers under the IFRS 8 definition in the Construc-
tion operating segment. In 2021, there was one customer which accounted for approximately 11% of the Group’s
revenue.

Customer contract performance obligations and significant judgment-based solutions
The Group’s most common project types are: project management contract, turnkey contract (overall responsibility
for the construction), alliance contract, fixed-price contract, lifecycle project, residential development project, com-
mercial development project, developer-contracted residential project and commercial project.
In SRV’s contractor agreements and development projects, the management tasks and structural engineering
work of a construction or renovation project management contact concerning a property owned by the customer
have typically been agreed with the customer. Contract projects may include a number of different work stages and
tasks. These mainly, however, form a single integrated entity that is handled as one performance obligation.
In developer-contracted projects, buyers of apartments may be offered a parking space or a removal service. In
that case, the parking space and removal service are considered to be separate performance obligations. Typically,
these are handed over and recognised as revenue at the same time as the apartment itself. Any possible considera-
tion exemptions are equivalent to discounts and these are taken into account as an adjustment to the selling price.
The Group’s contract projects include variable considerations resulting, for example, from penalties or from
undershooting or overshooting the target price. Group management monitors and assesses variable considerations
at the end of each reporting period. The transaction price used in revenue recognition is based on the most likely
estimate. Of the estimated amount of variable consideration, only that portion is included in the transaction price and
revenue only recognised up to an amount such that it is highly likely that no significant reversal will have to be made
to the amount of accrued recognised sales revenue.
Development and developer-contracted projects also include variable considerations that may result, for ex-
ample, from delay penalties and lease liabilities. Recognition of revenue is deferred for the estimated rental liability
and this estimated share of project revenue is recognised as an advance received. Rental security deposits reduce
project-related advances received. Uncertainties associated with signed lease agreements are taken into account in
recognition of revenue.
Assets recognised as revenue over time are controlled by the customer, and the revenue and expenses of these
customer projects are recognised as revenue and expenses based on percentage of completion, when the outcome
of the project can be reliably estimated. Percentage of completion is determined by calculating for each project the
share of expenses accrued by the balance sheet date relative to the total expenses estimated for each project. The
amount corresponding to the percentage of completion is recognised as revenue. When it is probable that total costs
necessary to complete a project will exceed total revenue obtained from the project, the expected loss is recognised
immediately as an expense. If the expenses and recorded profits arising from a customer project exceed the amount
of progress billings, the difference is disclosed in the balance sheet item “trade and other receivables”. If expenses
and recorded profits arising from a customer project are less than the amount of progress billings, the difference is
disclosed in the balance sheet items “trade and other payables”. Tables of payments are used in customer billing, and
terms of payment for contracts typical for the industry are agreed on.
Customer projects recognised as revenue at a point in time are recognised after control of the asset has been
transferred and at the earliest after the completion of the project. The share of revenue and expenses corresponding
to the percentage of sale at the time of completion is recognised as revenue for the projects.
Development and developer-contracted projects may include a separate financing component. A significant fi-
nancing component may arise in factoring projects in which the factoring costs are charged from the client. On aver-
age, the construction time in Group factoring and developer contracting projects is less than two years, in which case
the average financing period is less than a year. In these, the Group will apply the “practical expedient” for periods of
less than a year as set out in IFRS 15.63. The Group also has projects with an average financing period of more than
one year. In such projects, the treatment procedure for a substantial financing component is applied and the item is
recognised as a reduction in revenue and an adjustment of interest income on financial items.
Customer project warranty provisions comprise the costs resulting from the repair of completed projects if the
warranty period is still in effect at the balance sheet date. A warranty provision is recognised at the time of the pro-
ject handover, and the amount of provision is based on prior experience of the materialisation of warranty expenses.
It is expected that warranty provisions will be used during the two years following the completion of the project. The
level of the construction industry’s 10-year warranty provision is based on index-adjusted historical information or
the estimated total costs of certain individual projects. It is expected that a 10-year provision will be used over the ten
years following the completion of the project.
The plots of development projects are recognised as revenue over time. The timing of the revenue recognition of
plots is always assessed on a case-by-case basis, however.

SRV has decided to exit its businesses and holdings in Russia on an accelerated schedule due to Russia’s war against
Ukraine. The company is a co-investor in three Russian shopping centre projects through its associated companies.
In addition, SRV owns plots in Russia. SRV has worked towards this goal by means such as negotiating on the sale of
assets in Russia. These negotiations have not led to results so far.
SRV has written down the balance sheet values of practically all of its shopping centres and other holdings in
Russia and its holding in Fennovoima. Impairments in the Investments segment amounted to EUR -133.7 million, of

which EUR -92.0 million impacted on operating profit and EUR -41.7 million on financial expenses. After the write-
downs and change in the exchange rate of the rouble, the total value of SRV’s holdings in Russia is EUR 3.0 million.
Shopping centres have been consolidated using the equity method. Their balance sheet value is compared to
their cash flow statement value in order to test for potential impairment. SRV's investments in shopping centres con-
sist of equity investments in associated companies and loans granted to them. Furthermore, the companies that own
the shopping centres have preferred debt with local banks.
The calculation parameters are essential for the final result of the valuation calculation. The key parameters
are inflation, growth in consumer demand, forecasts of the trend in rental income and the weighted average cost of
capital, which correlates with the local risk-free interest level. The values of the calculation parameters have changed
significantly after Russia invaded Ukraine. Expected inflation has risen significantly and the forecast for consumer
demand has weakened considerably. The Central Bank of Russia has raised the key interest rate substantially, which
in turn strongly increases the weighted average cost of capital. In the prevailing exceptional circumstances, the esti-
mation of the used parameters involves extremely high uncertainty, and the situation is not expected to be rectified
in the near future. Using the available sources of information, the company has sought to establish an overview of the
parameters that is as accurate as possible. On the basis of the calculations, the discounted operational cash flows
of the shopping centres, adjusted by the amount of working capital, do not exceed the value of the preferred debts
of the centre in question and thus the asset items and their related loan receivables have been valued at zero. In the
2021 annual accounts, Okhta Mall was valued at EUR 69.3 million and Pearl Plaza at EUR 20.0 million. 4Daily had
already been valued at zero earlier.
The valuation of plots owned in Russia has been based on SRV’s strategy of developing and building on plots,
and thus the need to recognise any impairments of these plots has been assessed through project calculations. In
these changed circumstances, SRV no longer plans to develop and build on plots or leaseholds in Russia; instead,
impairment testing will be performed by comparing the value of the plot or leasehold against its probable selling
price. The assumed selling prices and sellability of plots have weakened substantially after the war began, and in the
current exceptional situation the assessment of selling prices involves extremely high uncertainty. In accordance
with the assessment that has been carried out, the plots have been valued at their assumed selling price of EUR 3.0
million, while in the 2021 annual accounts they were valued at EUR 47 million.
On 4 February 2022, SRV announced that it will sell its holding in Fennovoima to RAOS Voima Oy, subject to ap-
proval by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment. The uncertainty surrounding the granting of the permit
and the risk of the interruption of the nuclear power plant project have risen significantly due to Russia’s war against
Ukraine. Due to these reasons, SRV’s holding in Fennovoima – valued at EUR 13.3 million in the annual financial state-
ments dated 31 December 2021 – was written off in its entirety at the end of the first quarter. SRV still has an EUR 18.7
million investment commitment in the nuclear power plant project, which is subject to significant uncertainty after
Fennovoima announced that it had terminated the plant delivery agreement with the RAOS Project on 2 May 2022
and cancelled its building permit application for the Hanhikivi 1 nuclear power plant on 24 May 2022. On 8 August
2022, SRV announced that the completion of the set of conditional agreements signed on 4 February 2022 between
SRV and RAOS Voima Oy, which would have led to SRV’s exit from its ownership in Fennovoima, will not be realised.

In February 2017, the Board of Directors decided on a new share-based incentive scheme for the Group's key personnel. The scheme covers 40
key SRV personnel. The scheme will be in effect from 2017 to 2019 and rewards are tied to the Group's result and specific business indicators. The
potential reward will be paid partly as shares in the company and partly in cash. The proportion to be paid in cash will cover taxes and tax-related
costs arising from the reward. A maximum of 1,000,000 SRV Group shares will be granted to key employees. The original cost of the share-based
incentive scheme is calculated by using the share price EUR 5.20, which makes the IFRS-cost for the scheme EUR 5.5 million with the addition of
the cash payments. Actual cost is based on how the company will achieve the financial targets and the market value of the share. If a key person’s
employment or service ends during said restriction period, he/she must return the shares rewarded under the scheme to the company. On 6 July
2020, SRV announced that it had assigned a total of 67,950 treasury shares to the members of the company’s share-based incentive plan.

The Board of Directors of SRV Group Plc has made the decision for a share-based incentive scheme for the President & CEO for 2019–2026. Under
the scheme, Saku Sipola has been given 600,000 acquisition rights, entitling him to acquire the number of SRV Group Plc’s shares corresponding
to the acquisition rights at EUR 1.62 per share. Under the scheme, new shares or treasury shares in the possession of the company can be issued.
The company’s Board of Directors will make a decision on the manner of implementation separately each time. Under the terms of the scheme, the
acquired shares are subject to a transfer restriction, which is valid for two years from the acquisition of the shares. The acquisition rights can be
exercised in three two-year long exercise periods, the first of which begins on 1 March 2021 and ends on 28 February 2023, the second begins on 1
September 2022 and ends on 31 August 2024, and the third begins on 1 September 2024 and ends on 31 August 2026. During each exercise period,
the acquisition rights holder is entitled to exercise 200,000 acquisition rights. The total recognised IFRS cost of the incentive scheme 2019–2026
is approximately EUR 0.3 million. On 17 December 2020, the Board of Directors of SRV Group Plc decided on changes to the share-based incentive
scheme of President and CEO Saku Sipola. The changes concern the number of acquisition rights, the subscription price of the acquisition rights
and the periods during which the acquisition rights can be exercised. The purpose of the changes is to ensure that the incentive effect of the scheme
remains at its previous level by taking into account the changes in the number of the company’s shares caused by SRV’s 2020 rights issues. The
incentive effect of the scheme is based on the value increase of SRV Group Plc’s shares. As a result of the changes, Sipola has the right to acquire
1,000,000 shares at a subscription price of EUR 0.55 per share. The basis for determining the subscription price is the volume-weighted average
price of SRV’s share on Nasdaq Helsinki in continuous trading from 1 August to 30 November 2020. After the changes, the acquisition rights can be
exercised in the following three periods: the first begins on 1 March 2022 and ends on 28 February 2023, the second begins on 1 March 2023 and
ends on 31 August 2024, and the third begins on 1 September 2024 and ends on 31 August 2026. During the first and second exercise periods, the
acquisition rights holder is entitled to exercise 300,000 acquisition rights and during the third period 400,000 acquisition rights.

On 29 of March 2021, the Board of Directors resolved to establish a new share-based Long-Term incentive plan. The Long-Term Incentive Plan
arrangement has three three-year performance periods, which begin yearly during 2021-2023. The calendar years are 2021–2023, 2022–2024
and 2023–2025. The Board of Directors of the Company will resolve on the plan’s key persons and performance criteria at the beginning of each
performance period. Approximately 30 key persons belong to the first performance period 2021-2023, including President and CEO Saku Sipola and
members of the Company’s management.
The potential reward from the performance period 2021–2023 will be based on the Group’s Total Shareholder Return (TSR) in relation to a
separately selected reference group, the level of the company’s indebtedness and the increase in share price. The rewards to be paid on the basis
of the performance period 2021-2023 correspond to the value of an approximate maximum total of 4,400,000 SRV Group Plc’s shares (gross
amount, of which the proportion to be paid as withholding tax will be deducted). The potential reward will be paid in 2024 in SRV Group Plc’s shares
(net amount) and the company will account for the withholding tax to tax authorities on behalf of the key persons. The potential share reward to the
President and CEO is subject to transfer restriction, which requires the shares to be held for two years from their reward.

On 29 of March 2021, the Board of Directors of SRV Group Plc resolved on a two-year One-off Long-Term Incentive Plan to enable the prolonging
of the Long-Term Incentive Plan performance period to three years. The One-off Long-Term Incentive Plan arrangement has one two-year
performance period, calendar years 2021–2022. Approximately 30 key persons belong to the target group of the plan, including President and CEO
Saku Sipola and members of the Company’s management.
The potential reward from the performance period 2021-2022 will be based on the Group’s operative cash flow and the Group’s Total Shareholder
Return (TSR) during the two-year period. The rewards to be paid on the basis of the performance period 2021-2022 correspond to the value of
an approximate maximum total of 4,400,000 SRV Group Plc’s shares (gross amount, of which the proportion to be paid as withholding tax will be
deducted). The potential reward will be paid in 2023 in SRV Group Plc’s shares (net amount) and the company will account for the withholding tax to
tax authorities on behalf of the key persons. The potential share reward to the President and CEO is subject to transfer restriction, which requires the
shares to be held for two years from their reward.

No new decisions have been made in 2022 for Long-Term Incentive Plans. Year 2022 consists of numbers from the performance period 2022–2024
plan which was decided in 2021. The share incentive figures have been adjusted for the share issue and the reverse share split in July 2022 for all
plans in the table.

Goodwill

Construction 1,734 1,734
Total 1,734 1,734
Impairment test
The recoverable amount of cash-generating units is based on value-in-use calculation model in which cash flows are
based on base year figures and on business units' growing cash flows for the next five years' strategy period.
In the impairment test of goodwill performed in December 2022, a growth factor of 2 per cent was used and it
does not exceed the actual long-term growth of the business. The main factors in the impairment test are the oper-
ating profit margin and the discount factor. The discount factor used is the latest weighted average cost of capital
(WACC) before taxes. In the value-in-use calculation a WACC of 10.0 per cent was used. The calculation parameters
of WACC are risk-free interest rate, market risk and company specific premium, industry specific beta, the cost of
liabilities and equity ratio.
The recoverable amount exceeded the carrying amounts significantly in all cash-generating units with goodwill.
According to the impairment tests there was no need for impairments.
Sensitivity analysis
The performed sensitivity analysis does not cause impairments for cash-generating units when using moderate
changes in default factors.

On 31 December 2022, The Group's accumulated losses for which no deferred tax assets have been recognised were
EUR 5,299 thousand (EUR 12,581 thousand) because realisation of the tax benefit is not considered probable.
Deferred tax assets have been recognised for right-of-use EUR 1,606 thousand (EUR 1,349 thousand).
The deferred tax liability has been recognised in the consolidated financial statements in connection with the
undistributed profits of subsidiaries whose income tax is determined on the basis of profit distribution. The deferred
tax liability has not been recognised when the group is able to control the timing of profit distribution and the distribu-
tion is not probable at the balance sheet date.
As at 31 December 2022, the amount recognised as deferred tax assets in the SRV balance sheet was EUR 37.5
million. The majority of SRV's deferred tax assets relate to tax loss carry forwards. Tax losses have arisen from the
transfer of ownership of REDI shopping centre and the loss-making contracts of REDI shopping centre, REDI Light-
house and Tampere Deck and Arena. Deferred tax assets are recognised only up to the amount where the company
has sufficient taxable temporary differences or other convincing evidence of the ability to utilise the taxable losses.
The losses have arisen for individual identifiable reasons, which are not expected to repeat. Based on the taxable
income forecasts the Company has drawn up, SRV is able to utilise the losses fully by 2028. Assumptions about
the generation of future taxable income include the management's estimates of the future cash flows including the
amount of future net sales, operating costs and finance costs. SRV's ability to generate taxable income depends
also on factors related to the general economy, finance, competitiveness and regulations beyond SRV's control. If a
group company has made a loss in the immediate past, then a deferred tax asset from tax losses is recognised only
up to the amount where SRV has sufficient taxable temporary differences or other convincing evidence of the ability
to utilise the taxable loss. As at 31 December 2022, the deferred tax assets recognised on the balance sheet are
also subject to the losses being assessed in taxation so that they may be generally deducted from the future taxable
income of SRV.
Thus these estimates and assumptions are subject to risk and uncertainty, and it is possible that changes in cir-
cumstances will alter expectations, which may impact the amount of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities
recognised on the balance sheet and the amount of deferred tax assets not yet recognised from the tax losses and
the amount of temporary differences. The tax loss carry-forwards will generally expire within 10 years from the date
of their creation. The majority of SRV's tax loss carry-forwards will expire in 2028–2029. If the taxable income of SRV
would be lower than expected and not all deferred tax assets could be utilised, the value of the deferred tax assets in
the company's balance sheet would be reduced.

With respect to developer-contracted housing projects, interest expenses on borrowing are capitalised primarily
using the project-specific financing cost. If the proportion of project-specific financing is not significant, the Group’s
capitalisation rate is used in capitalising interest expenses. Capitalisation rate used was 5.0% on average. During
the financial year capitalised interests the amount of which was EUR 129 thousand (2021: EUR 930 thousand)was
included in the value of work in progress.
The carrying amount of completed inventories used as security for loans in 2022 amounted to EUR 3,373 thou-
sand (EUR 2,603 thousand), the carrying amount of inventories under construction in 2022 was EUR 79,093 thou-
sand (EUR 108,249 thousand),
During the financial year 2022 there was no impairment losses in shares in completed housing companies (EUR
0). Impairments to plot assets in Russia totalled EUR 37.1 million and in Estonia EUR 6.5 million (impairments in 2021
totalled EUR 5,586 thousand).

Directed share issue for holders of hybrid bonds
On 31 May 2022, based on an authorisation granted by the Extraordinary General Meeting, SRV Group Plc’s Board of
Directors passed a resolution on a directed share issue in which SRV would offer, in deviation from the pre-emptive
right of shareholders, up to 69,120,000 new shares to the holders of SRV’s hybrid bonds. The subscription period for
the directed issue commenced on 7 June 2022 and a total of 68,220,000 new shares were registered with the Trade
Register on 28 June 2022. The subscription price was to be paid by way of setting off the hybrid bonds. The amount
to be used for the payment was a maximum of 45 per cent of the nominal value of the hybrid bonds. The remaining
55 per cent of the nominal value of the hybrid bonds was written down entirely as part of the arrangement. If a holder
of a hybrid bond did not use 45 per cent of the nominal value of their hybrid bonds to subscribe for all, part or any
of the offer shares allocated to them, the entire remaining nominal value of such hybrid bond was written down at
the same time as the remaining 55 per cent of the nominal value of the hybrid bonds used for subscription and any
unpaid interest was written down in accordance with the amended and approved terms and conditions of the written
procedures ended 23 May 2022 concerning the hybrid bonds. The written-down value is recognised in the company’s
equity as a change in retained earnings. The direct transaction costs of the share issue are recognised directly as an
adjustment to equity.
Rights issue
SRV executed rights issue during the review period resulting in 348,056,400 new shares. The company earned a
total of EUR 34.8 million gross equity which was recorded in the company’s Invested Free Equity Fund. The Offer
Shares were registered with the Trade Register maintained by the Finnish Patent and Registration Office on 28 June
2022.The direct transaction costs of the rights issue are recognised directly as an adjustment to equity. SRV exe-
cuted a reverse share split on 4 July 2022 to the effect that each forty shares of the company was merged into one
share. Share-specific figures have been adjusted accordingly.
Invested free equity fund
Invested free equity fund consists of the net proceeds from the Offering of SRV Group Plc reduced by the cost relat-
ed to the share issue as well as received and cancelled SRV shares.
Translation difference
Translation difference comprises the differences of the translation of financial statetements of the foreign subsidiar-
ies to the functional currency of the parent company.
Hybrid bond
In June 2022, the terms and conditions of the EUR 45.0 million hybrid bonds the company issued on 22 March 2016
(with a principal of EUR 11.8 million) and the EUR 58.4 million hybrid bonds the company issued on 23 May 2019 (with
a principal of EUR 3.6 million) were amended in a written procedure so that 55 per cent of the principal of the notes
was written down and the remainder was converted into shares in a directed share issue with a subscription price of
EUR 0.10 per share. 98.3 per cent of the outstanding principal of the hybrid bonds issued on 22 March 2016 and 100
per cent of the outstanding principal of the hybrid bonds issued on 23 May 2019 were used to subscribe for shares in
the directed issue. The unconverted nominal value of the hybrid bonds was written down entirely.
In June, the company’s EUR 100 million senior unsecured callable fixed-rate notes (of which EUR 21.1 million
was outstanding on 31 Dec. 2022) and EUR 75 million senior unsecured callable fixed-rate notes (of which EUR 36.0
million was outstanding on 31 Dec. 2022) were converted into hybrid and convertible bonds by means of a written
procedure. Conversion into convertible bonds was executed by amending the terms and conditions of the notes with
the inclusion of a special right to convert the notes into shares pursuant to the Companies Act if the company does
not redeem them before 30 June 2026. Hybrid bonds have an annual coupon rate of 4.875 per cent.
The hybrid bond has no maturity dates at which the holder of the loan can demand repayment of the loan. The
hybrid bond is unsecured and subordinated to other debt instruments. The hybrid bonds do not confer shareholders’
rights to bondholders.

29 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
SRV Group is exposed to a number of financial risks in its business operations. The most significant financial risks
are related to interest rate-, liquidity- and credit risk. The management of the Group’s financial risks is centralised in
the Group’s finance department. The management of financial risks is implemented in accordance with the financial
policies approved by the Board of Directors. The financial policy is reviewed annually and updated as required to re-
flect changes in the marketplace. The objective of the Group’s financial risk management is to reduce the uncertainty
that changes in the financial markets cause for the Group’s result and financial position.
Interest-rate Risks
The cash flows and fair values of the Group’s interest-bearing debts and receivables are susceptible to changes in
interest rates. Interest rate risk is composed primarily of the short- and long-term loans connected with the financ-
ing of business operations. The Group’s financing is divided into general financing and project-specific financing.
Construction period financing is typically either refinanced, transferred to the buyer or paid off at the time of comple-
tion. The Group can assume long-term debt at both variable and fixed interest rates. The weighted average interest
rate of the entire loan portfolio (incl. interest rate derivatives) at 31 December 2022 was 6.6% (2021: 6.0%). Euribor is
primarily the reference rate of variable interest loans.
Interest rate risk is monitored and measured from the perspective of the income statement by means of gap
analysis. Interest rate risk is managed by adjusting the ratio of variable and fixed interest debt in the loan portfolio.
There were no fixed-interest loans at the closing date (2021: 78 %). Interest rate risk is also managed by interest
period selection or by derivatives. SRV Group Plc entered into two interest rate swap contracts totalling EUR 100
million in 2015. Swapping of interest started in July 2016 and both contracts mature in 2025. Interest rate derivatives
are used to hedge against changes in market interest rates, and changes in the fair value of interest rate derivatives
are recognised in financial income and expenses for the financial period during which they occur. The fair values for
derivatives correspond to the prices that the Group would be required to pay or would receive if it were to exit the
derivative contracts. Counterparty price quotations are used to determine the fair value of interest rate derivatives.
These quotations are based on prevailing market circumstances and generally accepted pricing models. Hedge ac-
counting has not been applied to the interest rate derivatives used. The effect on profit and loss of the fair valuation
of interest rate derivatives would have been EUR 2.4 million (EUR 3.5 million) in the event of a one percentage point
increase in interest rates. If interest rates decrease by one percentage point, the effect on profit and loss would have
been EUR -2.5 million (EUR -3.6 million). A general change in the level of interest rates also has a direct impact on the
investment decisions of the Group’s customers and thereby cash flows from Group operating activities.
The accompanying sensitivity analysis under IFRS 7 contains variable interest rate financial liabilities and
receivables in which there is an interest rate fixing during the next 12 months, in accordance with the closing balance
sheet. The sensitivity analysis also includes interest rate swap contracts.

Currency Risks
The Group is exposed to currency risks related to the international business operations’ commercial cash flows, fi-
nancing of projects during construction, currency-denominated equity, and investments in foreign project companies
and associated companies. The most significant currency to pose a currency risk in 2022 was the Russian ruble. The
foreign subsidiaries are, in accordance with the Group’s financial policies, responsible for identifying and reporting
currency exchange risks connected with currency-denominated cash flows to the finance department. The objective
of currency risk management is to minimise the effect of currency rate fluctuations on the Group’s business earnings
and equity. Derivatives or currency loans can be used as hedging instruments in accordance with Group policy to
manage currency risk. The currency risk has decreased substantially due to the write-downs of the Russian assets.
On the closing date, the Group had no foreign exchange option contracts for hedging against currency risk (2021:
EUR 0.0 million).
Currency risks are divided into transaction risk and translation risk. Transaction risk relates to foreign curren-
cy-denominated business (sales and purchases) and financing (loans) cash flows. Translation risk relates to invest-
ments in foreign subsidiaries, associated companies and project companies in which the functional currency is not
the euro, and whose imputed effects are reflected in translation differences in the Group’s consolidated equity. Cur-
rency risk is also present in project financing in Russia, as the value of project collateral can be affected by changes
in the value of the ruble. Declining project collateral value can lead to a need for additional collateral or re-negotiation
of loan terms and amounts.
Sensitivity to currency fluctuation
The ruble-denominated currency position that poses a translation risk was EUR 3 million (2021: EUR 73.2 million).
The ruble-denominated currency position that poses transaction risks was EUR 2.6 million (2021: 38.2 million). The
currency risk position consisted of short-term currency option which is presented below in the table. The currency
risk has decreased substantially due to the write-downs of the Russian assets.The weakening rouble led to trans-
lation differences of EUR -4.0 million (EUR 1.8 million 1-12/2021), which impacted both shareholders' equity and the
comprehensive result for the period. In addition to currency exchange rate gains with no cash flow impact amounting
to EUR 1.5 (1.9) million in financial income and expenses, the Group also entered similarly derived currency exchange
rate gains of EUR 7.3 (1.6) million with no cash flow impact under the profit accounted for by associated companies,
which are due primarily to the weaker rouble exchange rate. The total impact on equity before the recognition of
impairment was EUR 8.8 million.

Liquidity and Refinancing risks
Liquidity and refinancing risk may have an impact on the Group’s result, cash flow and the implementation of
developer contracting projects if the Group is unable to secure sufficient financing for its operations. Group manage-
ment monitors the level of financing continuously and takes the necessary measures to ensure sufficient financing.
The Group’s main sources of financing are project-specific loans and a committed revolving credit facility.
Financing for developer contracting projects is secured by the sales process, project loans and use of the compa-
ny’s general financial reserves. As a rule, the Group mainly starts projects whose financing has been secured. Where
appropriate, the sale of individual receivables may be used to manage liquidity within the scope of the available limit.
Receivables are transferred with risks and rewards and are not subject to repurchase obligations and are therefore
derecognised in full. The arrangement carries the risk that the counterparty to the arrangement may terminate the
receivable arrangement unilaterally, whereby receivables can no longer be sold.
SRV carried out the comprehensive restructuring of financing as planned in June during the first half of 2022
due to the impairments of assets in Russia and the holding in Fennovoima as a result of Russia’s war against Ukraine
and the related economic sanctions. These impairments had a substantial impact on SRV’s shareholders’ equity and
equity ratio, and restructuring sought to counteract the effects of these impairments by substantially strengthening
equity and reducing net interest-bearing debt.
81
Part of Financial Statements
The restructuring of financing in June consisted of the following measures:
(i) A rights issue of about EUR 34.8 million for the shareholders of the company. The issue was fully sub-
scribed.
(ii) The company’s EUR 100 million senior unsecured callable fixed-rate notes (of which EUR 21.1 million was
outstanding on 31 Dec. 2022) and EUR 75 million senior unsecured callable fixed-rate notes (of which EUR 36.0
million was outstanding on 31 Dec. 2022) were converted into hybrid and convertible bonds by means of a written
procedure. Conversion into convertible bonds was executed by amending the terms and conditions of the notes with
the inclusion of a special right to convert the notes into shares pursuant to the Companies Act if the company does
not redeem them before 30 June 2026. The notes were measured at fair value, which was 60 per cent of their nom-
inal value when the terms and conditions were amended. EUR 34.3 million of the hybrid and convertible bonds with
a nominal value of EUR 57.1 million were recognised in the balance sheet as equity instruments and the difference
between their nominal value and carrying amount, EUR 22.8 million, was recognised as other financial income. During
the written procedure on the amendment of the terms and conditions, the company made a voluntary tender offer to
the noteholders at a price of 60 per cent of the nominal value. In the tender offer, notes with a total nominal value of
EUR 42.7 million were purchased for EUR 25.6 million.
(iii) The terms and conditions of the EUR 45.0 million hybrid bonds the company issued on 22 March 2016 (with
an outstanding principal of EUR 11.8 million) and the EUR 58.4 million hybrid bonds the company issued on 23 May
2019 (with an outstanding principal of EUR 3.6 million) were amended in a written procedure so that 55 per cent of
the principal of the notes was written down and the remainder was converted to shares in a directed share issue with
a subscription price of EUR 0.10 per share. 98.3 per cent of the outstanding principal of the hybrid bonds issued on
22 March 2016 and 100 per cent of the outstanding principal of the hybrid bonds issued on 23 May 2019 were used
to subscribe for shares in the directed issue. The unconverted nominal value of the hybrid bonds was written down
entirely.
(iv) With the syndicate banks, the company agreed on the extension of its revolving credit facility and project
financing facility by 12 months and certain other amendments to the agreement on the revolving credit facility and
project financing facility.
At the end of the review period, EUR 10 million of the company’s EUR 30 million revolving credit facility was with-
drawn and EUR 20 million was unused. The commited amount of the company's revolving credit facility decreased
from EUR 40 million to EUR 30 milion in March as planned and agreed on the agreement. EUR 35.8 million of the
company’s EUR 40.0 million committed project financing facility was unused at the end of the review period. In addi-
tion, the company’s EUR 63.0 million non-committed project financing facility was entirely unused at the end of the
review period. As part of the aforementioned restructuring of financing, the due date of the revolving credit facility
and project financing facility was extended to April 2024.
In March 2022, the company made partial repayments of the aforementioned notes as planned to a total nom-
inal value of EUR 5.1 million. Both of the aforementioned notes were converted into hybrid and convertible bonds
by means of a written procedure in the restructuring of financing in June. Therefore, due to the change of terms to
hybrid, they are no longer presented as interest-bearing liabilities but as an item of equity.
The financial covenants of SRV’s financing agreements are equity ratio, gearing, minimum operating margin,
minimum cash, and certain other restrictions. The covenant levels of these financing agreements are determined
on the basis of the accounting principles in force when the loan agreements were signed. Recognition of income on
the basis of percentage of completion in developer contracting projects and the inclusion of capital loans into equity
are taken into consideration in the calculation of the equity ratio covenant. The loan agreements also contain some
other deviations from traditional covenant calculation methods. Minimum cash consists of cash and deposits held
in syndicated banks, from which account payables that are overdue by more than 10 days have been deducted. The
covenant levels of these financing agreements are determined according to each loan agreement and on the basis of
the accounting principles specified in the agreements, and there are cross-default terms in the agreements.
Of the covenants, equity ratio and gearing were reported quarterly and half-yearly during the financial year.
Minimum liquidity is reported according to the situation on the last day of each month. In the event of a violation of
the regularly reported covenants, the creditor has the right to demand immediate repayment of the debts. The cove-
nants and their levels at the closing date are presented in the capital structure management section of Note 29.
The maturity distribution below presents the contractual payment of the Group’s financial liabilities at the
closing date. Payments include interest payments and repayments of principal. The maturity table does not show
the estimated future payments of the hybrid bonds on equity terms presented in equity. Further information on the
hybrid bonds is given in Note 25 Equity and in the accounting principles of the financial statements.
At the end of the reporting period, the Group’s financing reserves totalled EUR 65.9 million (2021: EUR 100.1
million) and consisted of EUR 0.6 million (2021: EUR 2.1 million) in unwithdrawn project loans, an undrawn revolving
credit facility EUR 20.0 million (2021: EUR 30.0 million) and EUR 45.3 million (2021: EUR 68.0 million) in cash and
cash equivalents. At the balance sheet date, SRV's remaining purchase price receivables for developer-contract-
ed housing and commercial premises under construction in Finland amounted to EUR 0.35 million (2021: EUR 7,4
million), with the amount of financing for developer-contracted projects not withdrawn amounting to EUR 7.9 million
(2021: EUR 9.5 million). SRV estimates that EUR 7.8 million (2021: EUR 13.6 million) will be used for the completion of
developer-contracted projects. The sources of financing are described in table format under the maturity table.

Credit risk is managed in accordance with credit policy principles. Project customers are mainly large, well-known and
financially sound companies. If no information is available on the customer’s solvency, a check is made of general trade
and credit information records, and collateral requested, if necessary. With regard to international business projects,
more detailed customer background checks are made if the customer is not already known. The creditworthiness of
home buyers is not checked, but the ownership of an apartment is not transferred to the customer until the purchase
price has been paid in full. In transactions made for unfinished apartments, the buyer has the option under the Housing
Transactions Act to cancel the transaction prior to the handover of the apartment, but damages are payable for the can-
cellation. Similarly, a construction company may cancel a transaction if the buyer fails to make the agreed payments.
Deposits and derivatives
The Group does not have any significant investment activities. Investments relate to daily cash management and are
mainly short-term bank deposits with the Group’s main banks. The Group Treasury unit is responsible for managing

Credit risk
The Group is exposed to credit risk related to accounts receivable, amounts due from long-term project customers, asso-
ciated company and joint venture loan receivables, cash investments, and receivables based on derivative transactions.
84
Part of Financial Statements
investment and derivative instrument counterparty risks in accordance with the Group financing policy approved by the
Board of Directors. Derivatives are made for hedging purposes and the balance sheet receivables based on them are
small. Agreements made with counterparties to derivative contracts are based on the ISDA Convention. Under the terms
and conditions of arrangements, the net asset or liability position of an individual counterparty in the same currency is
considered should certain events (such as payment default) occur to be a liability and all arrangements related to it are
terminated. As SRV does not, at the closing date, have a legally enforceable right of set-off, these amounts have not been
deducted from the balance sheet. The credit risk associated with both deposits and derivatives is considered to be low.
Accounts receivable and amounts due based on customer projects
Business units are responsible for the credit risk related to amounts due and accounts receivable based on customer
projects, in accordance with the Group credit policy. Group credit policy defines the requirements for the credit deci-
sion process, terms of sale, and debt collection. The Group’s commercial counterparties are mainly listed companies
or major real estate or institutional investment companies. In the housing business, the counterparties are mainly pri-
vate individuals. In apartment sales, the customer gains control of the apartment when all of the purchase price items
have been paid. The same Group credit policy principles are applied to tenant selection as in commercial projects.
The Group applies the simplified approach for the recognition of expected credit losses, according to which
lifetime expected losses are recognised for all accounts receivable and contract-based assets. Overall, the company
has not had major material losses on these items due to the business model and customer profile mentioned above.
However, one business premises project under construction in Finland involves high credit loss risks related to trade
receivables: In the first quarter of 2022, SRV suspended the construction of the Torihotelli contract in Oulu due to
the payment difficulties of the client. On 27 June 2022, SRV filed an application to declare the client bankrupt. As a
result, the District Court of Oulu declared the company developing the hotel, Kiinteistö Oy Oulun Torihotelli, bankrupt
on 26 August 2022. The assets of the bankruptcy estate are being liquidated. Receivables in the Torihotelli contract
involve credit loss risks. At the end of December, SRV had about EUR 16.0 million in receivables due from Kiinteistö
Oy Oulun Torihotelli, secured by a mortgage on the property under construction and pledges on certain other assets.
The company has also initiated steps to liquidate its non-property collateral.
Competition for new orders in the construction industry is intense, which may affect the volume and profitability
of SRV’s new order backlog. Contracts concerning construction have significant value. The terms and conditions of
an agreement require the parties to achieve the agreed upon targets within a specified timetable and to adhere to the
agreed upon operating practices. In particular, execution of additional and alteration work may involve financial risks.
Contract receivables may involve additional and alteration work involving customer complaints or disputes concerning
the payment obligations of the customer. If an agreement cannot be reached on payment obligations during the final
financial review, the company may have to enter into legal proceedings against the customer. The outcomes of legal
proceedings involve uncertainties. It is also impossible to assess precisely the time required by court procedures in
dispute cases. For additional and alteration work in contracts recognised as revenue over time, only the portion likely to
be invoiced is recognised, in accordance with IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Items subject to a sig-
nificant risk of impairment and which the company does not expect to receive are not taken into account in the contract
invoicing forecast.

There were no past due receivables in other group financial assets.
Credit loss provisions are not included in accounts receivables, because SRV Group does not have any substan-
tial credit losses.
Loan receivables from associated companies and joint ventures
Loan receivables from associated companies and joint ventures are tested for impairment using a three-stage mod-
el. At the end of the reporting period, there were no loan receivables from associated companies and joint ventures.
1. Loans receivable from associated companies and joint ventures are assessed for impairment using a three-
stage model. Group management first examines the expected cash flows of loan receivables from associated
companies and joint ventures as a whole together with associated company investments and regularly
assesses whether the credit risk of the receivables has increased significantly since initial recognition. If the
credit risk of a receivable is considered to be low or its credit risk has not increased significantly since initial
recognition, the receivable is included in stage 1 and the impairment is calculated based on an assessment of
the probability of credit losses occurring within 12 months.
2. If it is considered that the credit risk associated with receivables has increased significantly, the receivables
are transferred to stage 2, in which case the probability of the loss associated with them is assessed over their
lifetime, and on this basis the estimated future cash flows are compared with contractual cash flows. In that
case, the expected credit losses on the loan receivable over its lifetime are recognised.
3. If loan receivables are found to be impaired due to credit risk, they are transferred to stage 3.

Capital risk management
Through effective capital structure management, the Group ensures that it is able to support to its businesses and
can grow shareholder value for investors. The Group does not have a public credit rating issued by a credit rating
agency. The capital structure of the Group is reviewed by the Board of Directors of SRV on a regular basis.
To maintain the capital structure, the Group can balance the payment of dividends as well as issue new shares
or hybrid bonds. Additionally, the Group can adjust its business operations and use of capital to maintain the capital
structure. The Group monitors its capital on the basis of consolidated equity ratio and gearing ratio. Total equity con-
sists of equity attributable to owners of the parent company and to non-controlling interests as well as a hybrid bond.
The Group’s loans are subject to covenants that are described in the section “Management of liquidity and
refinancing risks” (see above). These covenants are calculated in accordance with the terms and conditions of each
loan agreement, and are based on either FAS or IFRS figures. The table below describes the key covenants that must
be reported for the loan agreements that were in use by the Group at the end of the financial period 2022, and their
levels on 31 December 2022 and 31 December 2021. The covenant levels for all loan agreements were met on 31

Parent company's financial statements and the comparable information
EThe parent company's financial statements are prepared in accordance
with the principles of Finnish accounting legislation. The financial statements are prepared for 12 months
in the financial period January 1 – December 31, 2022.
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
Non-Current assets
Tangible and intangible asset are recognised on the balance sheet at historical cost less depreciation according to
plan and impairment. Depreciation according to plan is calculated as straight-line depreciation on the basis of the
estimated economic life of tangible and intangible assets. The depreciation periods are as follow:
• Other intangible rights, 3–5 years
• Buildings and structures, 40–60 years
• Machinery and equipment, 3–10 vuotta
• IT programmes, 3–5 years
Investments are stated at the original purchase cost less accumulated impairment if the future income from the
investment is probably going to be smaller compared to purchase price. No depreciation is booked on land and water
areas and intangible rights. Development costs are recognised as annual costs during the year they arise.
Items denominated in foreign currency
Foreign currency business transactions are recognised at the exchange rate of transaction date.
Pensions
The statutory pension security in the parent company is provided by an external pension insurance company.
Taxes
The taxes in the income statement include the taxes for the financial year and adjustments for previous periods. The
defferred tax liability and receivable is calculated from the temporary difference in bookkeeping versus taxation
using the confirmed tax rate for the coming fiscal years. Defferred tax receivables are recorded in the balance sheet
and detailed in the note 12.
The valuation of financial instruments
Financial instruments have been valued as of 1 January 2015 at fair value in accordance with the Chapter 5 Section
2(a) of Finnish Accounting Act. The fair value of derivatives is estimated based on the present value of future cash
flows using market prices on the closing date. The change in fair value of the interest rate swaps are recognised in
interest income and expenses in the income statement and the the cumulative change in fair values is recognised in
the accrued income and expenses at the balance sheet.Hedging instruments are booked in the income statement in
financial expenses and in balance sheet in accrued expenses.
Currency forward deal premium cost are recongnised in financial expenses at transaction date.
Commitments
The parent company has given absolute guarantees on behalf of group companies. The guarantees are related to
construction projects.

The 2022 paid statutory occupational pension insurance of the President and CEO and Deputy CEO was 204 thou-
sand euros (203 thousand euros in 2021).
On 17 December 2020, the Board of Directors of SRV Group Plc decided on changes to the share-based incen-
tive scheme of President and CEO Saku Sipola. The changes concern the number of acquisition rights, the subscrip-
tion price of the acquisition rights and the periods during which the acquisition rights can be exercised. The purpose
of the changes is to ensure that the incentive effect of the scheme remains at its previous level by taking into account
the changes in the number of the company’s shares caused by SRV’s 2020 rights issues. The incentive effect of the
scheme is based on the value increase of SRV Group Plc’s shares.
As a result of the changes, Sipola has the right to acquire 1,000,000 shares at a subscription price of EUR 0.55
per share. The basis for determining the subscription price is the volume-weighted average price of SRV’s share on
Nasdaq Helsinki in continuous trading from 1 August to 30 November 2020. After the changes, the acquisition rights
can be exercised in the following three periods: the first begins on 1 March 2022 and ends on 28 February 2023, the
second begins on 1 March 2023 and ends on 31 August 2024, and the third begins on 1 September 2024 and ends
on 31 August 2026. During the first and second exercise periods, the acquisition rights holder is entitled to exercise
300,000 acquisition rights and during the third period 400,000 acquisition rights.
No new decisions have been made in 2022 for Long-Term Incentive Plans.
On 4 July 2022, SRV Group Plc executed a reverse share split. The reverse share split and related redemp-
tion of shares were executed so that each 40 shares of SRV was merged into one share. On 2 February 2023, SRV
announced remuneration paid out from the one-off long-term incentive plan 2021- 2022 and discontinuations of the
President & CEO's share-based incentive plan 2019-2026 and the long-term incentive plan 2021-2025.
The parent company’s distributable funds on 31 December 2022 are EUR 79,261,450.94, of which net profit for
the financial year is EUR -223,599,660.31. The Board of Directors proposes to the General Meeting that no dividend
be paid for the 2022 financial year.

Through its subsidiary SRV Voima Oy, SRV has a holding in Voimaosakeyhtiö SF, the main owner of Fennovoima,
which had prepared the Hanhikivi 1 nuclear power plant project. SRV has also made an investment commitment to
Voimaosakeyhtiö SF concerning the construction of the nuclear power plant. SRV has the same rights and oblig tions
as other Voimaosakeyhtiö SF shareholders. In May 2022, Fennovoima announced that it had terminated the Hanhiki-
vi 1 nuclear power plant delivery agreement made with Rosatom and cancelled the construction permit application
for the plant project. Due to the higher project risk, SRV’s holding in Fennovoima – valued at EUR 13.3 million in the
2021 annual accounts – was written down in its entirety in the second quarter of 2022. After this write down, the
investment commitment to Voimaosakeyhtiö SF amounts to a maximum of EUR 18.7 million. That said, the realisation
of this investment commitment involves significant uncertainty due to the status of the Hanhikivi 1 project.
At the end of the financial period, EUR 10 million of the company’s EUR 30 million revolving credit facility was
withdrawn and EUR 20 million was unused. EUR 35.8 million of the company’s EUR 40.0 million committed project fi-
nancing facility was unused at the end of the review period. In addition, the company’s EUR 63.0 million non-commit-
ted project financing facility was entirely unused at the end of the review period. The due date of the revolving credit
facility and project financing facility was extended to April 2024.

Auditor’s Report (Translation of the Finnish Original)
To t he A nn ua l Ge ne ra l Me et i ng o f SRV Yh ti öt O yj
REPORT ON THE AUDIT OF THE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Opinion
In our opinion
• the consolidated financial statements give a true
and fair view of the group’s financial position
and financial performance and cash flows in
accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU
• the financial statements give a true and fair view
of the parent company’s financial performance
and financial position in accordance with the laws
and regulations governing the preparation of the
financial statements in Finland and comply with
statutory requirements.
Our opinion is consistent with the additional report to
the Audit Committee.
What we have audited
We have audited the financial statements of SRV Yhtiöt
Oyj (business identity code 1707186-8) for the year
ended 31 December 2022. The financial statements
comprise:
• the consolidated income statement and statement
of comprehensive income, consolidated
balance sheet, statement of changes in equity,
consolidated cash flow statement and notes,
including a summary of significant accounting
policies
As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality
and assessed the risks of material misstatement in the
financial statements. In particular, we considered where
management made subjective judgements; for exam-
ple, in respect of significant accounting estimates that
involved making assumptions and considering future
events that are inherently uncertain.
Materiality
The scope of our audit was influenced by our application
of materiality. An audit is designed to obtain reasonable
assurance whether the financial statements are free
from material misstatement. Misstatements may arise
due to fraud or error. They are considered material if
individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be
expected to influence the economic decisions of users
taken on the basis of the financial statements.
Our Audit Approach
Overview
• Overall group materiality: 4,500,000 euros
• We performed an audit of SRV Group’s parent company and
its subsidiaries that are most significant based on the financial
position and result.
• Revenue recognised from construction contracts over time
• Renewal of financing

• the parent company’s balance sheet, income

Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with good audit-
ing practice in Finland. Our responsibilities under good
auditing practice are further described in the Auditor’s
Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial State-
ments section of our report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have ob-
tained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our opinion.
Independence
We are independent of the parent company and of the
group companies in accordance with the ethical require-
ments that are applicable in Finland and are relevant to
our audit, and we have fulfilled our other ethical respon-
sibilities in accordance with these requirements.
To the best of our knowledge and belief, the
non-audit services that we have provided to the parent
company and to the group companies are in accordance
with the applicable law and regulations in Finland and we
have not provided non-audit services that are prohibited
under Article 5(1) of Regulation (EU) No 537/2014. The
non-audit services that we have provided are disclosed
in note 5 to the Financial Statements.
101
Based on our professional judgement, we deter-
mined certain quantitative thresholds for materiality, in-
cluding the overall group materiality for the consolidated
financial statements as set out in the table below. These,
together with qualitative considerations, helped us to
determine the scope of our audit and the nature, timing
and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the
effect of misstatements on the financial statements as a
whole.
Overall group materiality
4,500,000 euros (previous year 4,500,000 euros)
How we determined it
0.6% of groups revenue
Rationale for the materiality benchmark
applied
We chose revenue as the benchmark because, in our
view, it is the benchmark against which the performance
of the group is most commonly measured by users and
is a generally accepted benchmark. We chose 0.6%
which is within the range of acceptable quantitative
materiality thresholds in auditing standards.
How we tailored our group audit scope
We tailored the scope of our audit, taking into account
the structure of the SRV Group, the accounting pro-
cesses and controls, and the industry in which the group
operates.
SRV Group consists of two business areas; con-
struction and investments. In addition, Group services
are reported as other operations. As the majority of
the operations are in Finland, the focus of our audit has
mainly been on the parent company and its Finnish
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Our procedures included the following procedures,
among others:
– We updated our understanding of processes of
revenue recognition and total cost estimation of
contracts. Also, we tested the effectiveness of
selected key controls.
– On selected construction contracts we performed
substantive audit procedures, of which the main
ones are described below.
– We read construction contracts and assessed the
appropriateness of applied revenue recognition
accounting principles.
– We compared the estimated revenue with the
terms of construction contracts.
– We monitored the progress of the projects and
changes in the total cost estimates by reading the
minutes of project meetings and discussing with
the management and responsible personnel.
– We assessed the accuracy of management
estimates by comparing the total cost estimates
of uncompleted projects included in the previous
financial year financial statements to their actual
outcome in the current financial year.
– We tested the mathematical accuracy of the
spreadsheets used to determine the percentage
of completion as well as the revenue and cost that
was recognised based on that.
Key audit matter in the audit of the group
Renewal of financing
Refer to Accounting policies for consolidated financial
statements and Notes 25 and 29
The Group’s main sources of financing are project fi-
nancing and revolving credit facility.
subsidiaries that are most significant based on the finan-
cial position and result.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our profes-
sional judgment, were of most significance in our audit
of the financial statements of the current period. These
matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the
financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opin-
ion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on
these matters.
As in all of our audits, we also addressed the risk
of management override of internal controls, including
among other matters consideration of whether there
was evidence of bias that represented a risk of material
misstatement due to fraud.
Key audit matter in the audit of the group
Revenue recognised from construction contracts over
times
Refer to Accounting policies for consolidated financial
statements and Note 3
Revenue and costs of construction contracts are re-
corded over time as revenue and costs on the basis of
the percentage of completion where the outcome of the
construction contract can be estimated reliably. The
percentage of completion is calculated on the basis of
the estimated total cost of a contract and the cumulative
costs at the balance sheet date.
Management judgment has a significant impact on
the estimate of total cost of construction contracts and
on revenue and result of those contracts. Therefore rev-
enue recognised from construction contracts over time
is considered as a key audit matter in the audit of the
Group financial statements.
The parent company agreed on a comprehensive
renewal of financing, including a directed share issue to
the holders of 2016 and 2019 issued hybrid bonds, con-
verting unsecured callable fixed-rate notes into hybrid
and convertible bonds and a rights issue. This resulted in
a decrease in interest bearing liabilities.
Renewal of financing has had a significant impact
to the Group’s financing position and is therefore con-
sidered as a key audit matter in the audit of the Group
financial statements
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Our procedures included the following procedures,
among others:
– We discussed with the management about financing
arrangements
– We examined new financing agreements and
evaluated the accounting treatment of those.
– We performed tests of details to executed rights issues.
– We evaluated the disclosures containing information
of new financing agreements.
Key Audit Matters
We have no key audit matters to report with respect to
our audit of the parent company financial statements.
There are no significant risks of material misstate-
ment referred to in Article 10(2c) of Regulation (EU)
No 537/2014 with respect to the consolidated financial
statements or the parent company financial statements.
Responsibilities of the Board of Directors
and the Managing Director for the
Financial Statements
The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are
responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial
102
statements that give a true and fair view in accordance
with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)
as adopted by the EU, and of financial statements that
give a true and fair view in accordance with the laws
and regulations governing the preparation of finan-
cial statements in Finland and comply with statutory
requirements. The Board of Directors and the Managing
Director are also responsible for such internal control as
they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of
financial statements that are free from material mis-
statement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Board of
Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for
assessing the parent company’s and the group’s ability
to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable,
matters relating to going concern and using the going
concern basis of accounting. The financial statements
are prepared using the going concern basis of account-
ing unless there is an intention to liquidate the parent
company or the group or to cease operations, or there is
no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of
the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements as a whole are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud
or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes
our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of
assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conduct-
ed in accordance with good auditing practice will always
detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstate-
ments can arise from fraud or error and are considered
material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could
reasonably be expected to influence the economic
a material uncertainty exists, we are required to
draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related
disclosures in the financial statements or, if such
disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion.
Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence
obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report.
However, future events or conditions may cause
the parent company or the group to cease to
continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and
content of the financial statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the financial statements
represent the underlying transactions and events
so that the financial statements give a true and fair
view.
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence
regarding the financial information of the
entities or business activities within the group to
express an opinion on the consolidated financial
statements. We are responsible for the direction,
supervision and performance of the group audit.
We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance
regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and
timing of the audit and significant audit findings, includ-
ing any significant deficiencies in internal control that we
identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance
with a statement that we have complied with rele-
vant ethical requirements regarding independence,
and to communicate with them all relationships and
other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear
on our independence, and where applicable, related
safeguards.
decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial
statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with good au-
diting practice, we exercise professional judgment and
maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements, whether
due to fraud or error, design and perform audit
procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain
audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate
to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not
detecting a material misstatement resulting from
fraud is higher than for one resulting from error,
as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional
omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of
internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control
relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
parent company’s or the group’s internal control.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting
policies used and the reasonableness of
accounting estimates and related disclosures
made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board
of Directors’ and the Managing Director’s use
of the going concern basis of accounting and
based on the audit evidence obtained, whether
a material uncertainty exists related to events
or conditions that may cast significant doubt on
the parent company’s or the group’s ability to
continue as a going concern. If we conclude that
From the matters communicated with those
charged with governance, we determine those matters
that were of most significance in the audit of the finan-
cial statements of the current period and are therefore
the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our
auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public
disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare
circumstances, we determine that a matter should not
be communicated in our report because the adverse
consequences of doing so would reasonably be ex-
pected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such
communication.
OTHER REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
Appointment
We were first appointed as auditors by the annual gen-
eral meeting on 26 March 2014 and our appointment
represents a total period of uninterrupted engagement
of 9 years.
Other Information
The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are
responsible for the other information. The other infor-
mation comprises the report of the Board of Directors
and the information included in the Annual Report, but
does not include the financial statements and our audi-
tor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not
cover the other information.
In connection with our audit of the financial state-
ments, our responsibility is to read the other information
identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the
other information is materially inconsistent with the
103
financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the
audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
With respect to the report of the Board of Directors, our
responsibility also includes considering whether the
report of the Board of Directors has been prepared in
accordance with the applicable laws and regulations.
In our opinion
• the information in the report of the Board of
Directors is consistent with the information in the
financial statements
• the report of the Board of Directors has been
prepared in accordance with the applicable laws
and regulations.
If, based on the work we have performed on the other
information that we obtained prior to the date of this
auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material
misstatement of this other information, we are required
to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this
regard.
