DOVRE GROUP RECLASSIFIES ITEMS IN THE INCOME STATEMENT


Espoo, Finland, 2012-12-21 07:45 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 
Dovre Group Plc             Stock exchange release             December 21,
2012 at 8:45am 

DOVRE GROUP RECLASSIFIES ITEMS IN THE INCOME STATEMENT

Dovre Group harmonizes the presentation of expense reimbursements received from
customers in the income statement across Group companies. Previously, companies
primarily in the Group's Project Personnel division have presented net sales
related direct cost and the resulting income as net. As of the fourth quarter
of 2012, the Group will present the items separately in the income statement so
that expense reimbursements received from customers are included in net sales
while sales-related direct costs are presented in their respective expense
accounts. 

In accordance with IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements Dovre Group
discloses comparative information for 2011 as well as previously reported
quarters in 2012 according to the new classification. The reclassification
impacts the Group's net sales and other expenses, but has no impact on the
Group's reported operating result. As a result of the reclassification, the
Group's net sales in 2011 increases by EUR 4.7 million to EUR 77.2 million. The
reclassification does not affect the Group's operating result in 2011, which
was EUR 4.9 million. Following the reclassification, the Group's operating
result % decreases and is 6.4% of net sales in 2011. 

The reclassification does not affect the Group's guidance for 2012. Net sales
in 2012 are expected to grow over 20% from 2011 also after the
reclassification. 

The attached tables present the Group's income statement up to operating result
in accordance with both the old and new classification. In addition, the tables
present the Group's net sales by reporting segment in accordance with both the
old and the new classification.
