BOARD OF DIRECTORS' REPORT
Sales
KONE's sales grew by 5.8% as compared to January-
December 2020, and totaled EUR 10,514.1 million. At
comparable exchange rates, KONE's sales grew by 5.3%.
The sales consolidated from the companies acquired in 2021
had only a minor impact on KONE's sales for the financial
period.
New equipment sales grew by 4.4% at comparable
exchange rates thanks to strong growth in China during the
first half. Service sales grew by 6.3% at comparable exchange
rates supported by a normalization in both maintenance and
modernization activities. At comparable exchange rates,
maintenance sales grew by 7.5% and modernization sales
grew by 3.4%.
KONE's elevator and escalator maintenance base
continued to grow and was close to 1.5 million units at the end
of 2021 (over 1.4 million units at the end of 2020).
The growth of the maintenance base was driven, in
particular, by a continued good level of conversions of new
equipment deliveries to the maintenance base. Acquisitions
had only a minor positive contribution to the growth. In 2021,
the balance of maintenance contracts that were won from or
lost to competition was slightly negative.
The largest individual countries in terms of sales were
China (~35%), The United States (15%), Germany (6%) and
France (5%).

4,036.9 million. At comparable exchange rates, sales grew by
