About these figures. All figures come from Kesko’s published interim reports and financial statements releases, linked above, and are checked against them before publication. Errors are still possible, so confirm any figure in the original report before relying on it. Amounts are in millions of the reporting currency. Quarters reported only cumulatively (for example the fourth quarter) are derived by subtraction, and when a company restates earlier figures, older quarters on the previous basis are left out of comparisons. Margins and changes are calculated by Finpendium. This page is for information only and is not investment advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any security.
