Here are Roniâs comments regarding how upper respiratory tract infection diagnoses are at a lower level than the comparison period.
According to Terveystaloâs open reporting data, the upper respiratory tract infection diagnoses made by the company have been at a significantly lower level in the latter part of the year compared to the corresponding period last year, although the decrease is partly explained, in our assessment, by the companyâs shrunken occupational health customer base. For both Terveystalo and Pihlajalinna, the âflu seasonâ is one of the earnings drivers in Q4 and Q1, but in our view, its significance for the long-term development of the investment cases should not be overemphasized. In our assessment, achieving the guidance for the current year requires a strong end to the year from both, and the development of the flu season may become a decisive factor in terms of reaching the guidance.

If you canât access Arvopaperi, here is the press release:
The companiesâ combined revenue in 2024 was approximately EUR 8.2 million and Terveystaloâs corresponding revenue was approximately EUR 1.3 billion, so it is likely safe to say that this wonât require any major measures. However, the release states the following:
âThe acquisition supports Terveystaloâs strategy to grow in specialized medical care and strengthens its position in the ophthalmic surgery market. Through the acquisition, Terveystalo gains access to new expertise, a wider network of clinics, and modern surgical technology, enabling a higher volume of cataract, lens, and refractive surgeries than before.â

Here are Roniâs pre-result comments as Terveystalo reports its results on Friday, February 13, 2026 ![]()
At the end of the year, there was a risk of a profit warning hanging over the company, but as none has been issued, we have raised our forecastâwhich previously anticipated a slight profit warningâto the level required by the guidance. We expect revenue to have remained in decline at the end of the year, particularly due to challenges in the occupational health business and expiring outsourcing contracts. However, the guidance indicates a fairly clear improvement in profit, although it is worth noting that the comparison period was weighed down by one-off (non-adjusted) personnel expenses and a higher-than-normal depreciation load. In the report, we will focus particularly on the 2026 guidance, which we expect to indicate slowing earnings growth, as well as the outlook for the occupational health market and the publicly funded market, among other things. Comments regarding the recent Hohde Group acquisition are also of interest.
