Lehto provides preliminary information on 2016 net sales and operating profit

Preparation of Lehto's 2016 financial statements is still ongoing but the
company estimates that net sales and operating profit 2016 will be higher than
outlook published on November 11, 2016.

Preliminary information:

According to the unaudited accounts 2016, net sales grew by 31% to approximately
361 million euros and operating profit was approximately 40 million euros
representing slightly more than 11% of the net sales.

The reason for higher net sales and operating profit was the faster development
than expected in construction of apartments, business premises, social care and
educational premises as well as in sale of business premises.

Previous outlook published on November 11, 2016 was:

In 2016 growth in net sales is estimated to be about 20-25% compared to the year
2015 (EUR 275,6 million in 2015) and operating profit is estimated to be about
10 - 11% of the net sales.

Lehto will publish its 2016 financial statement bulletin according to earlier
given schedule on February 17, 2017.
