The STI is aimed at

terms of the Short-Term Incentive plan is described on the company website.

criteria and determines the amount of the payout

Incentive opportunity: 

•  Incentive opportunity at maximum level of performance may not exceed 120% of annual base salary

of ongoing Long-Term Incentive plans are described on the company website.

Performance criteria: 

•  Performance criteria for each plan are set by the Board of Directors based on the key priorities for the 

performance period. Reaching the maximum level requires exceptional performance

•  Following the end of the performance period the Board of Directors confirms the achievement of the 

criteria and determines the amount of the payout

•  The LTI performance period shall, as a rule, be no fewer than three years. Performance criteria for each 
plan are set by the Board of Directors based on the key priorities for and within the performance period

Discretion and claw-back:

1) Alternative performance measure. Additional information is provided in notes 31 and 32.

2) Not comparable because of the adoption of IFRS 16. 

The adoption of IFRS 16 had a significant effect on adjusted EBITDA, which increased by EUR 39.9 million in January–December. The impact of IFRS 16 on earnings before interest, taxes, and amortization 

(EBITA) was not material. Operating cash flow increased due to the impact of IFRS 16 by EUR 39.9 million in January–December. In addition, the adoption of IFRS 16 increased interest-bearing lease liabilities by 

EUR 178.7 million.

Amendments to IAS 28 — Long-term Interests in 
Associates and Joint Ventures (effective for financial 
years beginning on or after 1 January 2019)
The amendments clarify that an entity applies IFRS 9 Financial In-

struments  to  long-term  interests  in  an  associate  or  joint  venture 

that forms part of the net investment in the associate or joint ven-

ture.  The  new  amendments  did  not  have  a  significant  impact  on

(Amendments to IAS 19) (effective for financial

The  amendments  clarify  that  on  amendment,  curtailment  or  set-

tlement of a defined benefit plan, an entity uses updated actuarial 

assumptions to determine its current service cost and net interest 

for the period and the effect of the asset ceiling is disregarded when 

calculating  the  gain  or  loss  on  any  settlement  of  the  plan  and  is 

dealt with separately in other comprehensive income (OCI). The new

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The financial statements of Terveystalo Oyj are prepared in accord-

ance with Finnish Accounting Standards (FAS).

MEASUREMENT AND RECOGNITION  
PRINCIPLES AND METHODS

Holdings in Group companies
The balance sheet value of holdings in Group companies consists of 

historical costs less impairments. If the estimated future cash flows 

generated by a non-current asset are expected to be permanently 

lower than the balance of carrying amount, an adjustment to the 

value must be made to write-down the difference as an expense. If 

the basis for the impairment can no longer be justified at reporting 

date, it must be reversed.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT, AND DEPRECIATION
The balance sheet value of property, plant and equipment consists 

of historical costs less depreciation and other deductions. Property, 

plant and equipment are depreciated using straight-line deprecia-

tion based on the expected useful life of the asset.

The depreciation is based on the following expected useful lives:

AUDITOR’S REPORT

TO THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF TERVEYSTALO PLC 

REPORT ON THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

This document is an English translation of the Finnish auditor’s report. Only 
the Finnish version of the report is legally binding.

OPINION
We have audited the financial statements of Terveystalo Plc (busi-

tion 537/2014. The non-audit services that we have provided have 

ness  identity  code  2575979-3)  for  the  year  ended  31  December

statement of changes in equity, statement of cash flows and notes, 

including a summary of significant accounting policies, as well as the 

parent company’s balance sheet, income statement, statement of 

cash flows and notes.

In our opinion

MATERIALITY
The  scope  of  our  audit  was  influenced  by  our  application  of  ma-

teriality.  The  materiality  is  determined  based  on  our  professional 

judgement and is used to determine the nature, timing and extent 

of  our  audit  procedures  and  to  evaluate  the  effect  of  identified

misstatements that, individually or in aggregate, could reasonably

in  accordance  with  the  laws  and  regulations  governing  the 

preparation  of  financial  statements  in  Finland  and  comply 

with statutory requirements.

KEY AUDIT MATTERS
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, 

THE KEY AUDIT MATTER

HOW THE MATTER WAS ADDRESSED IN THE AUDIT

Valuation of Goodwill and Intangible Assets  
(Accounting Principles for the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes 14 and 15)

•  At the year-end 2019 the goodwill amounted to 779.2 M€ and 

accounted for 57% of the consolidated total assets and for 144% of 
the consolidated equity. 

•  Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually. An impairment 

is recognised when the recoverable amount is less than the carrying 
value of the asset.

•  Terveystalo determines recoverable amounts for impairment tests 

based on value in use. Preparation of cash flow projections underlying 
impairment tests requires management making judgments over 
profitability, long-term growth rate and discount rate.

•  The acquisition-related recognized assets for trade mark and customer 

relationships at the year-end 2019 were in total 132.0 M€. These 
assets have finite useful lives and the related amortization periods 
shall be reviewed annually.

•  Given the high level of management judgment related to the forecasts 

used and the significant carrying amounts involved, valuation of 
goodwill and intangible assets is considered a key audit matter.

•  We assessed the key assumptions used in the calculations, such as profit-
ability, discount rate and long-term growth rate. To analyse the forecasts 
we applied professional judgement in testing the key assumptions and 
assessing the resulting effects on the sensitivity analysis. 

•  We involved KPMG valuation specialists when assessing the appro-

priateness of the assumptions used and the technical accuracy of the 
calculations. This included a comparison to external financial and industry 
forecasts.

•  In respect of the acquisition-related intangible assets we evaluated the 

recoverability of these assets by assessing the related calculations and the 
underlying assumptions.

•  In addition, we considered the appropriateness of the disclosures in 

respect of goodwill, impairment testing and intangible assets.

Our opinion is consistent with the additional report submitted to the 

were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of 

Revenue Recognition (Accounting Principles for the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Note 4)

Audit Committee.

BASIS FOR OPINION
We conducted our audit in accordance with good auditing practice in 

the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of 

our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our 

opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these 

matters. The significant risks of material misstatement referred to in 

the EU Regulation No 537/2014 point (c) of Article 10(2) are included 

Finland. Our responsibilities under good auditing practice are further

•  We evaluated the IT systems relevant for revenue recognition and the 

functioning of the related general IT controls.

•  We tested the effectiveness of the processes to enter and record sales 

transactions as well as the sales pricing and invoicing processes. We also 
tested inclusion of relevant transactions in the appropriate period in order 
to assess the accuracy of revenue recognition.

•  In addition, we tested controls over cash sales such as reconciliation 

routines. 

•  We considered the appropriateness of the disclosures provided for revenue 

in the consolidated financial statements.
