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:

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.
