Topi Saarenhovi, President and CEO:

“The profitability of Nurminen Logistics developed nicely in the third quarter
of the year. Even though we saw a slight decrease in net sales compared to the
corresponding period in the previous year, we managed to improve our
profitability and achieve a good operating profit for the company. 

Market situations varied between different business operations during the
review period. Demand remained strong on the internal markets of Russia and the
CIS area, which are particularly important to railway and transit logistics.
The market situation in Finland, however, was more challenging and varied
between different business operations and areas. Vuosaari, in particular,
continued to face a challenging market situation. 

I am particularly pleased that we have managed to improve the profitability of
all of our business units. We have achieved this mostly through our own
actions, not as a result of market growth. Particularly in railway logistics
and our Baltic units, we have successfully taken measures to strengthen our
position on the key markets consisting of Russia and other CIS countries. The
result of the Vuosaari logistics center remains at an unsatisfactory level, but
it has improved from last year as a result of measures taken since late 2011.
This continues to rank among our company's most crucial development areas, and
we will stay focused in order to improve the centre's profitability.” 

MARKET SITUATION

Russia and the CIS countries, important markets for Nurminen Logistics,
remained active throughout the review period, although the increased
uncertainty of the world economy led to decreased demand with certain customers
at the end of the review period. In Finland, markets remained at a reasonable
level, although the demand and market situation varied between different
business operations. 

The volumes of export by rail to the CIS countries developed favorably at the
beginning of the review period, evening out over the summer after the initial
spike. In the second and third quarters of the year, railway traffic across the
border was on average slightly quieter than expected. On Russia's domestic
railway market, demand remained at a good level throughout the review period.
The company has managed to increase its share in Russia's domestic railway
transport as expected. 

In special transport, demand varied greatly among customers. Price levels also
fluctuated intensely on the market. The market situation remained similar to
the preceding quarter, but in the mechanical engineering industry in
particular, competition for large project deliveries remained tight. 

Particularly in the Baltic countries, the volumes of transit transport remained
at a good level throughout the review period. Volumes at the Kotka and Hamina
terminals as well as capacity utilization rates developed positively during the
review period. Market demand for transit transport to Russia through Finland
varied, and the price competition was tight. 

The forwarding and value-added services market in Southern Finland and at
Vuosaari Harbor remained challenging and kept the volume trends fluctuating and
the price level unsatisfactory. Among the main customer groups, demand from the
forest industry increased in comparison with the first half of 2012. 

NET SALES AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE 1 JANUARY - 30 SEPTEMBER 2012

The net sales for the review period amounted to EUR 60.0 million (2011: 57.2
million). Compared to 2011 the increase of net sales was 4.9%. Reported
operating result was EUR 4,737 (938) thousand. The increase was 405.3%.
Operating result includes non-recurring items of EUR 69 (363) thousand.
Therefore, comparative operating result was EUR 4,669 (575) thousand and
increased 712.3% compared to 2011. The allocation of expenses of the short and
long-term incentive bonus plans, decided upon according to the result
development, has been taken into account in the administrative expenses of the
company. These allocations were not made in the comparative period of year
2011. 

The non-recurring item in the first quarter of the year was a result of a
partial payment of a receivable written down in the financial statements 2010. 

The appreciation of the Russian rouble during the review period increased the
company's financial result by EUR 0.4 million. This exchange rate profit had no
cash flow impact. 

Railway Logistics

The Railway Logistics business unit net sales for the review period amounted to
EUR 33,359 (2011: 32,973) thousand and operating result was EUR 4,820 (2011:
3,840) thousand. Operating result includes non-recurring items of EUR 69 (363)
thousand. Therefore, comparative operating result was EUR 4,751 (3,477)
thousand. The growth of net sales and operating result was mainly due to an
improved client base, especially in Russia, and more effective operation of
wagons. The number of domestic railway transports in key customer segments in
Russia remained at a good level. The number of forwarding assignments in
domestic transports in Russia has also grown as planned. According to its plan,
the company has developed its organization in Russia by improving the sales of
railway logistics, among other things. These measures, together with the
company's comprehensive railway stock and high-quality services, facilitated
the sales growth and customer interest in the company's services in Russia and
other CIS countries. However, throughout the review period, railway transport
between Finland and Russia has been slightly quieter than expected. 

Special Transports and Projects

The Special Transports and Projects business unit net sales for the review
period amounted to EUR 6,847 (5,906) thousand and operating result was EUR 364
(-166) thousand. Mainly due to the competition situation and a surge in fuel
prices, the margins of received orders remained at an unsatisfactory level on
average. The operating result improved from the comparative period as a result
of the development of sales and operational efficiency, among other things. 

Transit Logistics

The Transit Logistics business unit net sales for the review period amounted to
EUR 10,811 (8,365) thousand and operating result was EUR 2,214 (-114) thousand.
The result of the Transit Logistics unit during the review period was very
good, especially due to the container volumes transported via the Baltic
countries to the CIS countries and Central Asia, as well as the increased
export of containers in the Klaipeda unit. The profitability of the company's
operations in Finland improved as a result of enhanced volumes and higher
utilization rates of terminals. 

Forwarding and Value Added Services

The net sales of the Forwarding and Value Added Services business unit for the
review period amounted to EUR 8,976 (9,968) thousand and the operating result
was EUR -2,661 (-2,622) thousand. The year-to-date net sales and operating
result of the unit fell below comparative period's figures due to non-recurring
project incomes received during the comparative period. The operating loss of
the Vuosaari logistics center amounted to EUR 1.9 (2.3) million in the review
period of January to September. The volumes of the Vuosaari terminal increased
by approximately 14%, mainly in the customer groups of forest industry and
mechanical engineering industry, whereas forwarding volumes remained nearly
unchanged. The profitability development program launched at the end of 2011 at
the Vuosaari logistics center will be continued with determination.

NET SALES AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OF THIRD QUARTER

The 2012 third quarter net sales amounted to EUR 20.5 million (2011: 20.9
million). Compared to 2011 the decrease of net sales was 2.0%. Reported
operating result was EUR 2,035 (1,377) thousand. The increase was 47.7 %.
Operating result includes non-recurring items of EUR 0 (115) thousand.
Therefore, comparative operating result was EUR 2,035 (1,262) thousand and
increased 61.2% compared to 2011. 

The depreciation of the Russian rouble during the review period increased the
company's financial result by EUR 0.3 million. This exchange rate profit had no
cash flow impact. 

In the third quarter of 2012, net sales increased by approximately EUR 0.1
million in comparison with the second quarter of 2012. The operating result
improved by EUR 0.5 million and the operating result, excluding non-recurring
items, improved by EUR 0.5 million compared to the second quarter of 2012. 

The net sales and operating result of the Railway Logistics unit decreased
slightly in the third quarter compared to the second quarter and the
corresponding period in the previous year. This was due to a slight decrease in
transport volumes between Finland and Russia and the occasional congestion of
Russian railways. Demand for railway transports in Russia and the CIS area
remained good. 

The net sales of the Special Transports and Projects unit declined slightly in
the third quarter of the year compared to the second quarter, mainly due to the
customers' holiday season. The operating result, on the other hand, was
improved as a result of more efficient equipment use, among other things. 

The net sales and operating result of the Transit Logistics unit remained
strong, mainly due to the container volumes transported via Baltic countries.
The volumes and profitability of the Kotka and Hamina terminals improved due to
new customers. 

In the Forwarding and Value Added Services unit, the net sales and operating
result were slightly below the previous year's figures in the third quarter due
to a large forwarding project that took place in the 2011 review period. The
volumes of the Vuosaari terminal increased due to deliveries in the forest and
mechanical engineering industries, whereas volumes for forwarding (Helsinki,
Rauma, Turku, Vaalimaa) remained almost unchanged.

OUTLOOK

The company updated its year 2012 outlook on 25 September 2012:

Nurminen Logistics Plc has decided to update its outlook for the year to be
more positive. The year 2012 has exceeded expectations, particularly with
regard to the company's result. The company's performance has improved across
all business areas. 

Profitability has improved particularly in railway logistics due to the
positive development in Russian operations, greater efficiency in the operation
of wagons and strong development in the customer base. The company's transit
logistics in the Baltic countries has also developed better than expected. 

Nurminen Logistics is updating its outlook for 2012.

Outlook published on 12 April 2012:

The net sales of the company are expected to increase in 2012 compared to 2011.
The company's operating result is expected to be clearly better than in 2011. 

New outlook published on 25 September 2012:

The net sales of the company are expected to increase in 2012 compared to 2011.
The company's operating result is expected to be significantly better than in
2011, with the estimated figure being EUR 5-6 million. 

SHORT-TERM RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Increased uncertainty in the world economy might result in lower industrial
production volumes and as a consequence to cancellation of company's orders.
Especially unfavorable development of Russian and other CIS markets would have
a negative effect on company's net sales and result development. 

Over-capacity of Finnish ports maintains tough price competition. The company
operates in Vuosaari, Kotka and Hamina harbors and therefore the volume
development variation of those harbors is relevant to the company. 

The railway tariff changes of different countries might affect the price
competitiveness of rail transports and/or the company significantly. In
addition, price competition situation might burden the company's profitability
also in the future. Weaker than expected volume growth of foreign trade would
burden the development of the company's net sales and profitability. The
company has notable customer agreements whose continuity may be significant
especially to the profitability of the business operations of the Baltic
countries. 

The company has received (a total of 32) subsequent levy decisions from the
National Board of Customs' Eastern District Office in Lappeenranta, which state
that the company and VG Cargo Plc, which has filed for bankruptcy, are liable
to pay EUR 0.9 million of import taxes from the year 2009. The company does not
consider itself liable for the aforementioned import taxes and has not made
cost accruals. If there is a case for subsequent levy, the company is of the
opinion that it should primarily be directed at the bankrupt's estate of VG
Cargo Plc and be paid from the valid customs guarantee. The company has filed
an appeal with the Helsinki District Court against the subsequent levy
decisions made by the National Board of Customs.

Company's cash flow from operations was EUR 4,323 thousand. Cash flow from

3,804 thousand. Liquidity remained satisfactory in the review period.

The decisions were published in stock exchange release on 5 October 2012.

Nurminen Logistics to align its legal corporate structure with the structure of
its business operations 

Nurminen Logistics Plc is planning to turn its operations in Finland into
independent companies and to restructure its Baltic operations. The information
was published in stock exchange release on 12 October 2012. In this
transformation, Nurminen Logistics Plc's Forwarding and Value Added Services,
Railway Logistics and Transit Logistics business units will be turned into an
independent company and the Special Transports and Projects business unit will
be turned into another independent company. These two new Finnish companies
will start operating under the new structure on 1 January 2013. The companies
responsible for the Estonian and Lithuanian operations will be transferred
directly under the parent company during 2012. The Russian operations will
continue as a separate company. After these changes, Nurminen Logistics Plc
will be the direct parent company of all companies. 

This restructuring is purely administrative in nature; with it, the company
streamlines its legal structure and cost allocation to current business
operations. All business operations of the Finnish business units mentioned
above will be transferred to the new companies. Personnel will transfer to the
new companies with unchanged terms of employment. 

Turning these business operations into independent companies has no effect on
Nurminen Logistics Plc's financial reporting. The reported segments will still
be Forwarding and Value Added Services, Special Transports and Projects,
Railway Logistics and Transit Logistics. 

The Group management and supporting functions will remain in Nurminen Logistics
Plc and provide the Group companies with financial and administrative services.
