Finances

Financial objectives and their attainment

The financial goal for 2021 was to maintain and expand the funding base as well as to ensure good management and transparency of the cost structure. This represented an effort to respond to cyclical fluctuations in the environment.

CSC's tax year was financially successful. The company's turnover and R&D funding developed as predicted. While the exceptional situation continued, the financial targets set for the tax year were achieved with flying colours, and the company continued to enjoy a stable financial situation during the tax year. Growth was underpinned by new customer relationships and expanding project activities. The company's cost structure remained well under control and the expected result for the financial year was reached.

The Covid-19 pandemic created challenges for the company, which the company was able to tackle thanks to experiences accumulated in the year before and by anticipating the measures the situation required. CSC was able to continue its operations cost-effectively and transparently.

Key indicators for CSC's financial performance and financial activities are presented in greater detail in the Report of the Board of Directors, Financial Statements and Auditor's Report (link to pdf).
