Neste Oil's diesel line 4 at Porvoo back on-stream after maintenance

Maintenance work on diesel production line 4 at Neste Oil's Porvoo refinery has
been completed and the line has been brought back on-stream ahead of schedule.
The line was down for planned and unplanned maintenance for most of the second
quarter.

Production outages at the Porvoo refinery, together with a major turnaround at
the Naantali refinery, reduced Oil Products' additional margin over the Neste
Oil reference refining margin, and resulted in this being only slightly positive
during the second quarter.

As previously announced, maintenance work originally scheduled for the fall was
carried out during the outage at Porvoo this summer, and the next planned
maintenance turnaround on production line 4 remains scheduled for the first half
of 2013.

Neste Oil's guidance for its overall 2012 result remains unchanged: Oil
Products' full-year comparable operating profit is expected to improve compared
to 2011, assuming that Neste Oil's reference refining margin remains at last
year's level.
