Ericsson’s financial disclosure policies are designed to facilitate transparent, informative and consistent communication with the investment community on a fair and equal basis, which will reflect in a fair market value for Ericsson shares. We want our shareholders and potential investors to have a good understanding of how our Company works, our operational performance, our prospects and the risks we face that jeopardize the fulfilment of our opportunities.
To achieve these goals, our financial reporting and disclosure must be:
- Transparent – our disclosure should enhance understanding of the economic drivers and operational performance of our business, hence building trust and credibility.
- Consistent – we aim for consistent and comparable disclosure within and between reporting periods.
- Simple – information should be provided in as simple a manner as possible, so readers gain the appropriate level of understanding of our business operations and performance.
- Relevant – we focus our disclosure on what is relevant to Ericsson’s stakeholders or required by regulation or listing agreements, to avoid information overload.
- Timely – we utilize well-established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that all disclosures are complete, accurate and performed on a timely basis.
- Fair and equal – we publish all material information via press releases to ensure everyone receives the information at the same time.
- A reflection of best practice – we strive to ensure that our disclosure is in line with industry norms.
