WithSecure publishes restated 2023 financial information in accordance with the new segment reporting and updates 2024 outlook comparatives
WithSecure begins to report its business as three separate segments, identified in accordance with the IFRS 8 financial reporting standard.
New reportable segments are:
- Elements Company, including Elements Cloud products and services and managed services (including Managed Detection and Response, MDR), On-premise products and Other products
- Cloud Protection for Salesforce
- Cyber security consulting
Cyber security consulting segment will only include the consulting services sold to large, enterprise customers. Non-recurring Incident response services and other minor products combining software and services have been transferred to the Elements Company segment. Their impact is a reduction of EUR 0.7 – 0.9 million per quarter to the previously reported Cyber security consulting revenue.
Elements Company revenue will be presented separately for Cloud, On-premise and Other products. The On-premise revenue is comparable to previously reported On-premise revenue.
WithSecure publishes its restated financial information for 2023, to ensure comparability with the new segment reporting. Total WithSecure Group financial information remains unchanged.
