- Orders received EUR 68.6 (58.7) million, increase 17%
- Order book EUR 144.7 (98.6) million, increase 47%
- Net sales EUR 57.5 (65.6) million, decrease 12%
- Gross margin 48.1% (48.7%)
- Operating result EUR -3.2 (+5.1) million
- Earnings per share EUR -0.12 (+0.16)
- Cash flow from operating activities EUR -0.9 (-4.9) million
- Cash and cash equivalents EUR 43.3 (70.5) million
- Business outlook for 2014: Vaisala estimates its full year 2014 net sales
to be in the range of EUR 290-320 million and the operating result (EBIT) in the
range of EUR 20-30 million.
Vaisala's President and CEO Kjell Forsén comments on the first quarter"During the first quarter of 2014 signs of recovery in weather observation and
industrial measurement markets were evident. Vaisala received 17% more orders
than during the review period last year. The biggest growth in order intake came
from Weather Business Area, as most of the customer groups increased their order
intake from last year. Order book increased by 47% compared to the previous
year, growth coming mainly from EMEA and APAC.
However, the low order intake during the first half of 2013 is still reflected
in Vaisala's net sales that decreased by 12 %. Net sales decreased mainly in
Weather Business Area, where volumes were low especially in Meteorology customer
group. Also some delivery project revenue recognition was postponed to later
quarters. Quality and timeliness of the deliverables of some of our
subcontractors' has also caused a strain on Vaisala's delivery capability during
the first quarter.
Operating result decreased mainly due to decreased net sales of Weather Business
Area and lower production volumes deteriorating the gross margin. Operating
expenses increased mainly due to the consolidation of operating expenditures of
3TIER Inc. and Second Wind Systems Inc. which were acquired during the second
half of 2013 as well as investments to new product development and novel
technologies. The efforts to enter the weather dependent renewable energy market
represent a substantial investment for building a growth business founded on
Vaisala's core competence in weather observations.
Controlled Environment Business Area net sales were at last year's level.
However, noteworthy is Controlled Environment Business Area operating result
which increased by 22% from previous year. This was mainly due to improved gross
margin.
We expect that continued signs of economic recovery will continue to gradually
revive the weather observation and industrial measurement solutions market,
typically expressing post-cyclical behavior, and thereby Vaisala's guidance for
the full year 2014 remains unchanged. Alongside this we are closely monitoring
the market development to identify the risks and uncertainties that may affect
our performance. One such risk is the political and economic instability related
to the Ukraine crisis."

Market situation in January-March 2014
During the first quarter of 2014 signs of upturn in weather observation and
industrial measurement markets continued. However, increased tendering activity
and good order intake was not yet reflected in Vaisala's net sales. Strong euro
also continued to negatively impact Vaisala's performance.
In EMEA market conditions for weather observation solutions were reasonably
good, supported by gradual revival of Southern European countries. Depreciation
of Russian ruble and the political and economic instability related to the
Ukraine crisis are affecting market environment. Demand for industrial
measurement solutions remained slow in EMEA
In North America market environment for weather observation and industrial
measurement solutions remained challenging, in spite of favorable economic
outlook and passed increase in US debt ceiling. In Latin America weather
observation market has been active.
In China demand for weather observation solutions remained favorable, backed up
by the China's 12(th) Five-Year Plan. Positive market conditions also continued
in other areas of APAC. Demand for industrial measurement solutions increased in
APAC, but it did not yet fully reflect positive development of customer
industries.

order intake from last year.
At the end of March 2014 the order book was EUR 144.7 (98.6) million and
increased by 47% compared to the previous year. The increase in order book was
due to good order intake of Weather Business Area since the third quarter of
2013. Further, the order book includes EUR 17 million of orders which were
consolidated from 3TIER Inc. and Second Wind Systems Inc., acquired during the
second half of 2013. Of the order book EUR 58.3 million will be delivered in

----------------------------------------------------------
Total 57.5 65.6 -12 273.2
----------------------------------------------------------
In January-March 2014, Vaisala's net sales were EUR 57.5 (65.6) million and
decreased by 12% from the very high level of January-March 2013. The decline was
mainly due to decreased net sales of Weather Business Area, where especially
Meteorology customer group's net sales decreased and delivery project revenue
recognition was postponed to later quarters.
In January-March 2014, net sales in EMEA was EUR 22.1 (25.3) million and
decreased by 13% compared to the previous year, in the Americas EUR 21.9 (24.0)
million and decreased by 9% and in APAC EUR 13.5 (16.3) million and decreased by
17%.
At comparable exchange rates the net sales would have been EUR 58.8 (65.6)
million and decrease would have been EUR 6.9 million or 10% from previous year.
The negative exchange rate effect was EUR 1.3 million, which was mainly due to
changes in JPY and USD exchange rates.
Operations outside Finland accounted for 98% (98%) of net sales.
Gross margin was 48.1% (48.7%). The decline in gross margin was mainly caused by
lower production volumes than in the previous year.

--------------------------------------------------------
Total -3.2 5.1 - 18.1
--------------------------------------------------------
In January-March 2014, operating result was EUR -3.2 (5.1) million. The decrease
was mainly due to decreased net sales of Weather Business Area, lower production
volumes deteriorating the gross margin and increase in operating expenses.
Operating expenses were EUR 30.8 (28.6) million and increased by 8% compared to
the previous year. The increase was mainly due to the consolidation of operating
expenditures of 3TIER Inc. and Second Wind Systems Inc. which were acquired
during the second half of 2013 as well as investments in R&D related to new
offering development and renewing instrument portfolio. The acquisitions and
investments in new offering in Weather Business Area are steps in entering the
weather dependent renewable energy market and building on Vaisala's core
competence in weather observations. Previous year's first quarter operating
result also included a net gain of EUR 1.5 million from the sale of three non-
weather road transportation product lines.
Profit (loss) before taxes was EUR -3.3 (5.2) million for the period of January-
March 2014. Income taxes were EUR -1.1 (2.3) million. Net result was EUR -2.2
(2.9) million.

The statement of financial position total was EUR 226.5 (254.1) million. The
solvency ratio at the end of the March 2014 was 63% (70%), the decrease was
mainly caused by capital return of EUR 22.2 million in August 2013.
In January-March 2014, Vaisala's cash flow from operating activities was EUR
-0.9 (-4.9) million. The improvement compared to previous year was mainly
related to more favorable development of net working capital.
Capital expenditure and divestments
Gross capital expenditure totaled EUR 1.7 (1.7) million for January-March 2014.
Depreciation was EUR 3.7 (3.7) million.

Near-term risks and uncertainties
Vaisala's business is exposed to changes in the global economy, politics,
policies, regulations, Vaisala's supply chain, and accidents as well as natural
disasters, which may affect business e.g. through order cancellations,
disturbance in logistics, and loss of market potential. Vaisala's capability to
successfully complete investments, acquisitions, divestments and restructurings
on a timely basis and to achieve related financial and operational targets
represent a risk which may impact revenue and profitability.
The most significant near term risks and uncertainties that may affect both
revenue and profitability relate to the company's ability to maintain its
delivery capability, availability of critical components, interruptions in
manufacturing and associated IT systems, changes in the global economy, expanded
western sanctions against Russia, currency exchange rates, customers' financing
capability, changes in customers' purchasing or investment behavior, and delays
or cancellations of orders. Changes in the competition may affect the volume and
profitability of business through introduction of new competitors and price
erosion in areas which traditionally have been strong for Vaisala. Changes in
subcontractor relations, their operations or operating environment as well as
the quality of the deliverables may have a negative impact on Vaisala's
business.
A significant part of Vaisala's business is project business. Project business
performance and schedules have dependencies to third parties, which may impact
profitability and the timing of revenue recognition. Assumptions regarding new
project and service business opportunities constitute a risk for both revenue
and profitability.

Market outlook
Vaisala expects that continued signs of economic recovery will gradually revive
weather observation and industrial measurement solutions market, typically
expressing post-cyclical behavior. However, outlook still varies significantly
between customer groups and geographical areas and overall expectations do not
refer to significant upturn. Within reviving weather observations markets it
remains challenging to forecast customers' timing for decision making and
acceptance of larger customer projects, having potentially material impact to
overall Vaisala weather business.
In EMEA demand for weather observation solutions is expected to remain solid,
and also industrial measurement market has showed early signs of revival.
In North America market outlook for weather observation and industrial
measurement solutions is unfavorable. In spite of passed increase in US debt
ceiling and favorable economic outlook, signs of market upturn have not yet been
registered in the market.
Weather observation market in APAC is expected to remain active. Demand for
industrial measurement solutions in APAC is expected to continue increasing in
local currencies.
Business outlook for 2014
Vaisala estimates its full year 2014 net sales to be in the range of EUR
290-320 million and the operating result (EBIT) in the range of EUR 20-30
million.

Board of Directors
The forward-looking statements in this release are based on the current
expectations, known factors, decisions and plans of Vaisala's management.
Although the management believes that the expectations reflected in these
forward-looking statements are reasonable, there is no assurance that these
expectations would prove to be correct. Therefore, the results could differ
materially from those implied in the forward-looking statements, due to for
example changes in the economic, market and competitive environments, regulatory
or other government-related changes, or shifts in exchange rates.
