Vaisala lowers its net sales and operating profit outlook for 2013

Vaisala changes its business outlook for 2013 and lowers the outlook for both
net sales and operating profit. The company now estimates its net sales to be in
the range of EUR 270-286 million. The operating profit (EBIT) is expected to be
in the range of EUR 20-30 million.

Weather Business Area's net sales and order intake have been impacted by the
realized budget sequestration in the USA and strained governmental finances in
Europe throughout 2013. The federal government shutdown in the USA will have
additional implications to order intake and delivery schedules resulting from
the lack of necessary funding, government resources and infrastructure, and thus
delaying the net sales generation.

Controlled Environment Business Area's net sales and order intake have not
developed in Japan nor in the USA as previously estimated. Also the weak market
conditions in Europe have impacted the volumes delivered to European customers.

The unfavorable currency exchange rate development of JPY and USD has in
addition impacted negatively Vaisala's net sales and operating profit. So far
this year, the currency exchange rate negative impact on Vaisala's net sales has
been approximately EUR 5 million.

Updated business outlook for 2013
Vaisala estimates its net sales to be in the range of EUR 270-286 million. The
operating profit (EBIT) is expected to be in the range of EUR 20-30 million.

Previous business outlook from February 6, 2013
Vaisala's net sales are estimated to be in the range of EUR 280-310 million at
comparable exchange rates as compared to 2012. The operating profit (EBIT) is
expected to be in the range of EUR 25-35 million at comparable exchange rates as
compared to 2012.

The company will publish its January-September 2013 Interim Report on October
23, 2013.
