The operating result weakened compared with the previous year, amounting to MEUR 0.6. Net sales in January-September were down 14% on the previous year but the operating result improved by MEUR 0.9. Net sales in Russia and Finland declined. In the case of Russia, net sales will be mainly generated in the fourth quarter. Net sales in Global Markets saw a year-on-year increase thanks to the improvement in project sales. July - September 2015 -- Honkarakenne Group's net sales for the third quarter amounted to MEUR 11.6 (MEUR 13.5). Net sales fell by 14 % on the previous year. -- Operating result was MEUR 0.0 (MEUR 0.6). -- Operating profit excluding non-recurring items was MEUR 0.1 (MEUR 0.6). -- Result before taxes was MEUR 0.0 (MEUR 0.5). -- Earnings per share amounted to EUR 0.01 (EUR 0.07). January - September 2015 -- Honkarakenne Group's net sales January-September amounted to MEUR 29.2 (MEUR 34.0). Net sales fell by 14 % on the previous year. -- Operating result was MEUR -1.0 (MEUR -1.9). -- Operating profit excluding non-recurring items was MEUR -0.4 (MEUR -1.9). -- Result before taxes was MEUR -1.4 (MEUR -2.1). -- Earnings per share amounted to EUR -0.21 (EUR -0.36). Honkarakenne revises its outlook for net sales: net sales will decline in 2015 from the previous year. Honkarakenne's previous view was that net sales may decline in 2015 from the previous year. With regard to earnings, Honkarakenne reiterates its previous view that the result before non-recurring items and taxes is estimated to improve due to the development programme initiated by the Group. At the end of September, the Group's order book stood at MEUR 16.3. On the corresponding period of the previous year it amounted to MEUR 15.9. The order book refers to orders whose delivery date falls within the next 24 months. Some orders may include terms and conditions relating to financing or building permits.

In the case of Russia, net sales in 2015 will be mainly generated in the fourth quarter. Net sales in Global Markets developed well, largely thanks to a major project sale in Kenya. In Finland, we have engaged in long-term development of our detached house products. We continued these efforts in 2015 at the Vantaa Housing Fair, where we unveiled the Savukvartsi house. It is the flagship model in our Savukvartsi collection, which is especially designed for compact urban living on small plots. Towards the end of the fair, we also launched our new modular Pala collection. Our detached house sales have seen substantial growth, but have not as yet offset the decline in holiday home sales. The market remained challenging in Russia & CIS, and third-quarter net sales were weaker than in the previous year. However, the Russian order book is currently larger than it was a year earlier. In that respect, the situation in Russia has returned to normal. The trend in net sales in Global Markets was satisfactory. The major reason behind this was a project sale to Kenya, whose deliveries will still continue during the fourth quarter.” NET SALES The Group's third-quarter net sales in 2015 decreased by 14 per cent to MEUR 11.6 (MEUR 13.5). Geographical distribution of net sales: TRENDS IN SALES Distribution of 1-9 1-9 net sales, % /2015 /2014 Finland & Baltics 46 % 46 % Russia & CIS 24 % 37 % Global Markets 30 % 17 % Total 100 % 100 % Net sales, MEUR 7-9 7-9 change % 1-9 1-9 change % /2015 /2014 /2015 /2014 Finland & Baltics 5.3 6.2 -15 % 13.4 17.3 -24 % Russia & CIS 2.6 4.9 -46 % 7.0 10.1 -31 % Global Markets 3.7 2.3 59 % 8.8 6.7 32 % Total 11.6 13.5 -14 % 29.2 34.0 -14 % Finland & Baltics includes the following countries: Finland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. It includes also process waste sales for recycling. Russia & CIS includes the following countries: Russia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Ukraine and other CIS countries. Global Markets includes other countries than above-mentioned. At the end of September, the Group's order book stood at MEUR 16.3. On the corresponding period of the previous year it amounted to MEUR 15.9. TRENDS IN PROFIT AND PROFITABILITY The operating result for the January-September period was MEUR -1.0 (MEUR -1.9) and the result before taxes was MEUR -1.4 (MEUR -2.1). The operating result was impacted by tighter cost competition in all markets. FINANCING AND INVESTMENTS The financial position of the Group remained satisfactory during the report period. The equity ratio stood at 34 % (35 %) and net financial liabilities at MEUR 7.1 (MEUR 7.9). MEUR 1.7 (MEUR 2.4) of the financial liabilities carries a 30 % equity ratio covenant term. Group liquid assets totalled MEUR 1.1 (MEUR 1.3). The Group also has a MEUR 7.8 (MEUR 8.0) bank overdraft facility, MEUR 3.0 of which had been drawn on at the end of the report period (MEUR 4.2). Gearing stood at 89 % (86 %). The Group's capital expenditure on fixed assets totalled MEUR 0.0 (MEUR 1.0). MARKET TRENDS The RTS expect that the construction of 6,400 detached homes will be begun this year in Finland. According to a report commissioned by RTS Oy, the Finnish log house production is expected to decline by 5 % compared to the previous year. PRODUCTS AND MARKETING In Finland & Baltics, the main focus in the third quarter was on developing sales of detached houses. At the Vantaa Housing Fair, Honkarakenne launched the Savukvartsi collection, which is especially designed for small urban plots. In addition, towards the end of the fair, Honkarakenne unveiled the new modular Pala collection, whose modifiability facilitates clients' house design. Detached house sales promotion efforts are bearing fruit, with sales seeing substantial growth in 2015. In Russia & CIS, the market situation remained challenging and third-quarter net sales fell short of the previous year. That said, in spite of the challenging situation, the Russian order book was at a better level at the end of the third quarter than a year earlier. In that respect, the situation has returned to normal. In Global Markets, the main focus was on a project delivery to Kenya. Sales development measures in China continued. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT In the January-September period, the Group's R&D expenditure totalled MEUR 0.3 (MEUR 0.4), representing 0.9 % of net sales (1.1 %). The Group did not capitalise any development expenditure during the report period. STAFF The Group had an average of 140 (153) employees during the third quarter, representing a year-on-year decrease of 13. On the basis of the negotiations under the act on co-operation within undertakings that were concluded in December 2014, the company is authorised to temporarily lay off clerical and managerial employees for a maximum of 90 days until the end of December 2015. As a result of negotiations under the act on co-operation within undertakings carried out during the third quarter of 2015, the company is authorised to temporarily lay off workers for 90 days until the end of May 2016. CHANGE IN MANAGEMENT Honkarakenne streamlined its management during the third quarter. President and CEO Marko Saarelainen took greater responsibility for customer work and is in charge for all sales areas. Mika Koivisto, former Vice President of Business Area Finland and Peter Morinov, former Vice President of Business Area Russia and CIS, moved to Sales Manager positions inside the company but did not continue as members of the company's management team. Pekka Elo, former Vice President of Business Area Global Markets, did not continue working with the company. President and CEO Mikko Kilpeläinen was relieved of his duties at the end of March. The company's CFO Mikko Jaskari was the acting President and CEO. Marko Saarelainen was appointed as Honkarakenne's President and CEO at the end of the second quarter. Marko Saarelainen has served as the managing director of Honka's subsidiary Honka Japan for almost 20 years. LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN In the second quarter of 2013, the Board of Directors decided on a long-term share-based incentive plan for members of the Executive Group. The performance period of the new plan began on 1 January 2013 and will end on 31 December 2016. The potential reward for the performance period is based on the cumulative earnings per share (EPS) for 2013 - 2016 and on the average return on capital employed (ROCE) for 2013 - 2016. Any rewards for the performance period 2013 - 2016 will be paid partly as B shares and partly in cash in 2017. The rewards to be paid on the basis of the performance period will correspond to a total maximum of about 340,000 B shares, including the amount to be paid in cash. During the first three quarters of the year the amount of allocated shares decreased by 11,796 (+3,361) shares. These allocated shares are recognized as follows: -29 (6) thousand euros employee benefit expenses, 2 (0) thousand euros in taxes and in deferred tax assets and -19 (5) thousand euros directly in retained earnings.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE Honkarakenne Oyj follows the Limited Liability Companies Act and the Finnish Corporate Governance Code, 1 October 2010, for listed companies issued by the Finnish Securities Market Association. The company's website, www.honka.com, provides more information on the corporate governance systems. FORTHCOMING RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES Russia is one of Honkarakenne's major business territories. The Ukrainian crisis, the trend in the price of oil and strong exchange rate fluctuations currently cause instability in the Russian market. This might have major impacts on Honkarakenne's operations. It is currently more difficult to acquire funding from the financial markets. Some of the company's loans carry a 30% equity ratio covenant term. The assessment of amounts in the balance sheet is based on current assessment by the management. If these assessments are changed, this may result in changes to the Group's result. REPORTING This report contains statements that relate to the future, and these statements are based on hypotheses that the company's management hold currently as well as on the decisions and plans that are currently in place. Although the management believes that the hypotheses relating to the future are well-founded, there is no guarantee that the said hypotheses will prove to be correct. This interim report has been drafted in accordance with IAS 34. The principles adhered to in preparing the annual financial statements also apply to this interim report. The interim report should be read together with the annual financial statements for 2014. The new revised standards or interpretations effective as of 1 January 2015 have no bearing on the figures presented for the report period. The figures have not been examined by the auditor. THE OUTLOOK FOR 2015 Honkarakenne revises its outlook for net sales: net sales will decline in 2015 from the previous year. Honkarakenne's previous view was that net sales may decline in 2015 from the previous year. With regard to earnings, Honkarakenne reiterates its previous view that the result before non-recurring items and taxes is estimated to improve due to the development programme initiated by the Group.
