ETTEPLAN SPECIFIES ITS' FINANCIAL GUIDANCE FOR 2013

Etteplan Oyj's estimate for market outlook remains the same as stated in
interim report for second quarter of year 2013 on August 15, 2013 and the
company specifies its' financial guidance. The new financial guidance specifies
the previously published guidance. 

Outlook for 2013

Market outlook

Changes in Etteplan's customers' order books quickly influence the development
of Etteplan's revenue. At the end of the review period, the order books of
Etteplan's major customers were, on average, at a lower level than in the
corresponding period in 2012. We estimate that the demand situation for
engineering design services continues to be challenging. 

Financial guidance

We expect the revenue for the year 2013 to be on the same level as in year 2012
and the operating profit for the year 2013 to be approximately EUR seven (7)
million.
