Loihde Plc: Transition to IFRS, comparative information
On 16 December 2022, Loihde Plc (also ‘Loihde’ or ‘the Group’) announced that it has decided to adopt International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’) for its financial reporting. Loihde Plc will prepare its consolidated financial statements and financial statements release for the financial year ended 31 December 2022 in accordance with IFRS, including comparative information under IFRS for the financial year 2021. The Group’s date of transition to IFRS was 1 January 2021. The financial statements release will be published on 3 March 2023.
Until 30 September 2022, Loihde prepared its annual and half-yearly financial statements in accordance with Finnish Accounting Standards (FAS). In order to provide its investors with comparative information already before the publication of the consolidated financial statements for the financial year 2022, Loihde publishes for the financial year ended 31 December 2021 and for the six-month period ended 30 June 2022:
- Certain key figures for the Group, and
