Balancing cloud growth and profitability

Sampo’s businesses performed well in the first quarter of the year. The Group’s profit before taxes increased by 7 per cent to EUR 475 million compared to EUR 445 million a year ago.

Sampo’s Board has today proposed that the Annual General Meeting authorizes the Board to resolve, in its discretion, on the distribution of an extra dividend.

Over the years, Sampo has become a major shareholder in the Danish insurance company Topdanmark.

In this blog entry we aim to answer questions that may rise regarding our Annual Results 2018 and the announced changes in our top management

Basware is a scalable and fast-growing cloud company. As part of the transition, Basware has started to disclose cloud metrics to offer investors a better understanding of the cloud business.

Sampo Group’s insurance companies continued their strong performance, which compensated for tame banking results.

Kalmar Q3 orders received increased by 38% year-on-year, what was the reason for that?

Sampo Group is the largest player in the Nordic insurance sector. Not many people know that Sampo is also one of the largest investors in the region. At the end of June 2018, Sampo had investments worth near EUR 22 billion. Thus, we are in the same league as the large Finnish pension funds.

Over the years, Mandatum Life, a subsidiary of Sampo has strengthened its position as one of the leading and respected financial services companies in Finland.

Sampo announced on 8 August 2018 that the Group CFO Peter Johansson will retire from his position as of 1 January 2019 and that Knut Arne Alsaker, CFO of If P&C Group and a member of the Sampo Group Executive Committee, will take over as the new Group CFO (as of 1 January 2019).

Five years ago, Sampo Group published its Half-Year Financial Report for January–June with a title ”Boring is good”. The title is still valid and describes well the performance for the first half of the year 2018: good growth and strong results with no drama.
