PÖYRY PLC          Company announcement 18 December 2014 at 6:40 p.m. (EET)

Pöyry lowers its guidance for the operating profit in 2014

Pöyry's operating profit is burdened during the last quarter of the year by
further losses originating mainly from the projects of the former Urban Business
Group, that were referred to in the January-September interim report 2014. In
addition, the operating profit is burdened by a restructuring programme focusing
on Central Europe. Both items will be recorded under the Regional Operations
Business Line.

Due to the increased project losses and restructuring costs in the last quarter,
Pöyry lowers its guidance for the Group's operating profit in 2014. According to
the previous guidance, published on 31 July 2014, the Group's operating profit
in 2014 was expected to decline compared to the operating profit for 2013.

According to the new guidance, the Group's operating profit in 2014 is expected
to decline compared to the operating profit for 2013 and to be clearly negative.

Pöyry publishes financial guidance only for the Group's operating profit.
