ELCOTEQ REVISES ITS FULL-YEAR ESTIMATE

Elcoteq is revising its full-year net sales and operating income forecast. The
company expects the full-year net sales to be at lower level than in 2007 and
the operating income to reach the level of 1% towards the end of the year. 

According to the previous estimate, Elcoteq SE's full-year net sales will be on
the year 2007 level and the operating income will reach the level of 2% towards
the end of the year. 

The main reasons for the change in the forecast are the weaker than expected
development in manufacturing volumes in the Personal Communications Business
Area and a temporary decrease in volumes during the third quarter due to the
changing customer structure. The quarter four sales are expected to increase
from the quarter three level and to be on the level of the second quarter of
2008. 

Elcoteq's second quarter net sales totaled 904.8 million euros (968.3 million
euros in April-June 2007). The second quarter operating income turned positive
as expected, and totaled 0.6 million euros (-19.0). Despite the net sales being
lower than in the first quarter of 2008, the operating income could be clearly
improved (-9.5 million euros in January-March 2008). All Business Areas were
able to reach a positive operating income in the second quarter. 

Elcoteq will publish its second quarter complete interim report on July 23 at
9.00 am (EET).
