COMMENTS BY CEO KARI KALLIO
“The business environment remained favourable in all markets. All business
segments grew well and net sales in the second quarter were at the highest level
ever. To meet the strong customer demand, Ramirent has continued to invest
heavily in additional capacity in advance of the summer peak season.”
“The rapid growth in Ramirent Europe continues. In the Czech Republic, which
Ramirent entered only a year ago, development has been especially satisfying. In
May, Ramirent further strengthened its market position and widened the customer
base by the acquisition of a telehandler rental company with operations covering
the whole Czech Republic.”
“High utilization rate and increased efficiency improved operating profit in all
segments. Especially Sweden and Denmark displayed strong improvement in
profitability as a result of improved efficiency backed by well-timed
investments.”
“Ramirent will continue to search for bolt-on acquisitions and to further
improve internal efficiency to support profitable growth. Ramirent expects to
clearly exceed its financial targets.”

1) The figures are calculated on a rolling twelve month basis.
OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
Ramirent is a company focused on construction machinery and equipment rentals,
operating in the Nordic, Central and Eastern European markets. The Group is
headquartered in Vantaa and has 296 (284) permanent outlets in twelve countries.
The level of construction activities in the Nordics remained high during the
review period. In the Central and Eastern European countries (Russia, the Baltic
States, Poland, Hungary, Ukraine, and the Czech Republic), the construction
market continued to be strong.
GROUP NET SALES AND PROFIT
Good market conditions and heavy investments in new capacity increased net sales
by 30.1%. The growth was strongest in Ramirent Europe (+67.0%) and Finland
(+36.8%) where the increase in net sales was partly attributable to the year
2006 acquisitions. The profitability improved in all the segments. The operating
profit (EBIT) improved by 63.6% to EUR 62.9 (38.5) million in the first half of
the year adjusted for the non-recurring gain from divestments of properties.
It is part of Ramirent's strategy to release capital for rental equipment
investments. Ramirent sold its properties in Finland with a non-recurring gain
of EUR 2.4 million in the second quarter of 2007. In the first quarter of 2006,
the properties in Sweden were sold with a non-recurring gain of EUR 5.4 million.
The Group's net sales for the review period increased to EUR 288.6 (221.8)
million, of which Finland accounted for EUR 61.7 (45.1) million, Sweden for EUR
72.5 (61.1) million, Norway for EUR 68.1 (58.1) million, Denmark for EUR 26.5
(21.8) million, and Ramirent Europe for EUR 60.7 (36.3) million. The growth was
mostly organic.
The Group's operating profit (EBIT) for the review period excluding property
gains was EUR 62.9 (38.5) million, of which Finland accounted for EUR 14.7
(excluding property gains) (9.0) million, Sweden for EUR 15.0 (8.2, excluding
property gains) million, Norway for EUR 16.1 (12.7) million, Denmark for EUR 3.8
(2.0) million, and Ramirent Europe for EUR 15.6 (7.0) million. The improvement
in profitability was strongest in Sweden, Denmark and Ramirent Europe. Starting
from 2007 Ramirent has established a share-based incentive programme to its key
managers in all operating countries. The programme as described in the Company's
corporate governance corresponds to the counter value of maximum 249,532 shares.
The Group's operating margin improved to 21.8% (17.3%). Including property gains
the Group's operating profit (EBIT) was EUR 65.5 (43.9) million and the
operating margin was 22.7% (19.8%).
The Group's profit before taxes for the review period was EUR 62.0 (40.1)
million. The net profit for the review period was EUR 46.3 (32.0) million. The
increase in profits compared to the previous year was mainly due to the growth
in net sales and high capacity utilization. The return on invested capital was
28.4% (22.3%) and the return on equity was 37.7% (29.6%).
CAPITAL EXPENDITURE AND DEPRECIATION
The Group companies' gross capital expenditure on non-current assets totalled
EUR 147.2 (93.3) million, of which EUR 145.7 (91.7) million was attributable to
investments in machinery and equipment. The significant increase in capital
expenditures reflects the Group's efforts to expand the rental fleet capacity to
meet customer demands and to develop the product range and outlet network to
serve customers better. The investments have been made earlier this year to meet
the demand at the peak season.
The total depreciation of non-current assets during the review period amounted
to EUR 36.7 (28.5) million, of which EUR 34.9 (27.3) million consisted of
depreciation of machinery and equipment. Other disposals of tangible non-current
assets were EUR 9.5 (15.0) million, of which EUR 4.3 (3.2) million were
attributable to machinery and equipment.
Goodwill totalled EUR 76.5 (73.1) million at the end of the review period.
FINANCIAL POSITION AND BALANCE SHEET
The Group's first-half year cash flow from operating activities was positive,
amounting to EUR 71.5 (62.0) million. Cash flow from investing activities
amounted to EUR -132.2 (-71.8) million. Cash flow from financing activities
totalled EUR 61.1 (9.9) million. At the end of the review period, liquid assets
stood at EUR 1.6 (1.4) million, resulting in a net change in cash of EUR 0.5
(0.1) million compared to the year-end.
As a result of increased capital expenditure earlier in the year, Ramirent's
interest-bearing liabilities increased by EUR 93.8 million from the year-end
2006 and totalled EUR 281.1 (191.5) million. Net debt amounted to EUR 279.4
(190.0) million at the end of the review period. Gearing increased to 99.4%
(88.5%).
On 16 March 2007, Ramirent Plc set up a Domestic Commercial Paper Program of EUR
100 million to cover its seasonal funding needs within a year and as an
additional flexible and cost-efficient source for short-term funding.
The nominal value of the interest rate swaps at the end of the review period was
EUR 166.6 (62.8) million.
Total assets amounted to EUR 716.4 (524.8) million and the Group's equity ratio
was 39.3% (41.0%).
BUSINESS EXPANSION AND DIVESTMENT DURING THE REVIEW PERIOD
On 25 May 2007, Ramirent Plc's Finnish subsidiary Ramirent Finland Oy entered
into an agreement on selling eight properties and three leaseholds as well as
one property owned by its subsidiary to Varma Mutual Pension Insurance Company.
Ramirent Finland Oy has a gain of EUR 2.4 million from the divestment of
properties. Ramirent continues as leaseholder on operating lease basis for its
outlet properties.
On 31 May 2007, Ramirent s.r.o., the Czech wholly-owned subsidiary of Ramirent
Plc, entered into an agreement with KMB Stavební Servis s.r.o. on the
acquisition of the rental business of KMB Stavební Servis. KMB Stavební Servis
is specialized in renting of telehandlers and its business covers the whole
Czech Republic. Ramirent established its operations in the Czech Republic in
2006. By this acquisition Ramirent widens its customer base and strengthens its
position in rental markets in the Czech Republic.
BUSINESS SEGMENTS
During the review period, the Ramirent Group's business operations developed
strongly in all business segments compared to the corresponding period of the
previous year. In particular, the operations in Finland, Sweden and Ramirent
Europe developed well during the period.
During the second quarter the growth continued strong especially in Finland and
Ramirent Europe. Profitability was improved especially in Sweden, Denmark and
Ramirent Europe.
From January 2007 the segments have been charged a management fee consisting of
certain group administration costs. The comparative figures for 2006 have been
adjusted accordingly.
Finland
In Finland, business operations were very active compared to the corresponding
period of the previous year. Net sales increased by 36.8% and totalled EUR 61.7
(45.1) million. The acquisitions in late 2006 increased the sales by 7%.
Compared to the corresponding period of the previous year, the profit of the
Finnish operations improved significantly as a result of increased net sales and
high capacity utilization. The operating profit (EBIT), excluding the
non-recurring gain from the divestment of Finnish properties, was EUR 14.7 (9.0)
million and the operating profit margin (EBIT-%) increased to 23.9% (20.0%).
Sweden
In Sweden, business operations during the review period continued the strong
development from 2006. Net sales grew by 18.7% compared to the corresponding
period of the previous year and were EUR 72.5 (61.1) million. Investments in new
capacity and a broadening of the product offering continued in an effort to
reach new customer groups, whilst improving the service level for current
customers. Profit improved mainly due to increased net sales, high capacity
utilization and cost efficiency. The operating profit (EBIT) was EUR 15.0 (8.2,
excluding a non-recurring gain from divestment of properties in 2006) million,
whereas the operating profit margin (EBIT-%) improved to 20.7% (13.4%).
Norway
In Norway, business operations continued at the good level. During the review
period net sales increased by 17.2% compared to the corresponding period of the
previous year and totalled EUR 68.1 (58.1) million. The profit of the Norwegian
operations improved in comparison with the previous year primarily due to
further improvement in capacity utilization and increase in sales, especially in
lifts and hoists. The operating profit (EBIT) was EUR 16.1 (12.7) million and
the operating profit margin (EBIT-%) was 23.6% (21.9%).
Denmark
In Denmark, business operations grew during the review period. Net sales grew by
21.3% totalling EUR 26.5 (21.8) million. The share of re-renting of machinery
and equipment decreased but remained high due to fast growth in sales. The
profitability was partly improved due to closing a non-profitable product line
in 2006. The operating profit (EBIT) was EUR 3.8 (2.0) million, whereas the
operating profit margin (EBIT-%) was 14.2% (9.3%).
Ramirent Europe
Ramirent's business operations in Central and Eastern Europe (Russia, Estonia,
Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Hungary, Ukraine, and the Czech Republic) continued
to develop very positively. Heavy investments in new capacity, high utilization
and expansion of the outlet network further improved the market position of
Ramirent. In Hungary, the outlet network has been optimized. Ramirent has
strengthened its position in the Czech Republic where it started only a year
ago. Compared to the corresponding period of the previous year, net sales
increased by 67.0% to EUR 60.7 (36.3) million. The operating profit (EBIT)
improved by 122.3% to EUR 15.6 (7.0) million, the operating profit margin
(EBIT-%) being 25.6% (19.3%).
PERSONNEL AND ORGANISATION
In the review period, the Group employed an average of 3,261 (2,723) people. In
Finland the number of employees increased to 674 (562) mainly due to temporary
workers in scaffolding projects. 587 (567) worked in the Swedish operations, 619
(554) in the Norwegian operations, 220 (189) in the Danish operations, 1,149
(841) in the European operations, and 12 (10) in the Group administration.
At the end of the review period, the Group had 296 (284) outlets, of which 95
(90) were in Finland, in Sweden 48 (46), in Norway 37 (36), in Denmark 16 (16)
and in Ramirent Europe 100 (96, gross increase 10).
BUSINESS RISKS
The main risks affecting Ramirent's business operations are connected to
economic cycles in construction industry and increased competition. Retaining
and attracting personnel is one of the main short-term risks.
Ramirent is subject to certain financial risks of which the foreign currency and
interest rate risks are regarded to be of greater importance than other
financial risks. During the second quarter Ramirent's finance policy was updated
so that average interest rate fixing term was prolonged from 9-15 months to
12-24 months.
Ramirent is operating in twelve countries, which means that the Company is
exposed country-specific risks. The risk is, however, spread and the effect of
downturn in a single market is limited at the Group level.
Ramirent's business risks and their management have been described in the Annual
Report 2006. The risks have not changed significantly compared to year-end 2006.
SHARES AND SHARE CAPITAL
The free issue, in which one old share entitled to receive three new shares
without any payment, approved at the Annual General Meeting on 19 April 2007,
was entered into the Trade Register on 24 April 2007, after which the Company's
number of shares was 108,200,300. The Company's share capital was not increased
in context with the free issue.
During the review period, a total of 334,336 new free issue adjusted shares were
subscribed with Ramirent Plc's 2002B options, due to which the Company's share
capital was increased by EUR 35,941.12. The increases were entered in the
Finnish Trade Register on 22 February 2007 and 22 May 2007.
On 30 June 2007, Ramirent's share capital was EUR 11,660,451.47 divided into
108,469,316 shares.

FINANCIAL TARGETS
Ramirent's Board of Directors adopted new financial targets for the Group in
2006. Ramirent is focusing on profitable growth and strong financial position
that provides financial stability for long-term business decisions. The
financial targets are as follows:
- Earnings per share growth of at least 15% per annum
- Return on invested capital annually of at least 18%
- Dividend payout ratio of at least 40% of the annual net profit.
OUTLOOK
The good market conditions are expected to continue in the second half of 2007.
The Company estimates that total construction activities will grow in average at
the rate of 3-4% in the Nordic countries this year. The backlog of the largest
Nordic construction companies indicate that the construction volume continues to
grow. However, the scarce supply of labour and building material may limit the
opportunities for further growth. In the Central and Eastern European markets,
the Company estimates a further solid growth.
Rental penetration rate is expected to further rise in the Group's markets for
machinery and equipment rental services as construction companies increasingly
opt to rent equipment instead of investing in their own fleet. Consequently,
Ramirent estimates that the machinery rental markets will grow faster than the
construction markets in 2007.
Ramirent has invested heavily in new capacity in the first half of 2007 and
expects a positive cash flow and improved gearing in the second half of 2007.
Ramirent is well positioned to take advantage of the opportunities available in
the markets. The Company will also continue to search for bolt-on acquisitions
and to further improve internal efficiency to support profitable growth.
Ramirent expects to clearly exceed its financial targets.
