JANUARY-SEPTEMBER 2010 HIGHLIGHTS - The Group's order stock at the end of the reporting period increased by 5.8 per cent from the year before to EUR 543.7 million (513.9). The order stock increased especially in the Industry business group. The order stock decreased 4.5 per cent from the end of the second quarter of 2010 but was still 11.9 per cent higher than at year-end 2009. - Sales of EUR 495.6 million were 3.2 per cent below the previous year (512.0). - Operating profit excluding restructuring costs was EUR 3.8 million (20.8) corresponding to 0.8 per cent (4.1) of sales. - Restructuring costs during the reporting period totalled EUR 4.1 million of which EUR 2.9 million were booked in the second quarter due mainly to streamlining and restructuring of the Management Consulting business group. - Cash flow after capital expenditure was EUR -55.8 million (-50.3). Net cash from capital expenditure on acquisitions was EUR -9.0 million (-10.2). - ETV-Eröterv, Hungary, was acquired in June to enhance Pöyry's strong position in the nuclear power segment. - The outlook for the full year 2010 operating profit was reduced on 14 October 2010. - Pöyry announced its key strategic priorities and the launch of the operational excellence programme on 14 October 2010. - Pöyry announced on 28 October 2010 that the targeted annualised cost savings regarding implementation of the efficiency improvement measures in Finland are EUR 10-15 million. The related restructuring costs are estimated to be in the range of EUR 6-10 million including the possible additional costs from earlier reduction measures. Implementation in Finland is expected to take about 6-9 months. PROSPECTS Group level guidance issued on 14 October 2010: The Pöyry Group's operating profit for 2010, excluding restructuring costs, is estimated to decline clearly from the comparable figure in 2009. The Group's net sales for the full year 2010 are expected to remain stable. Previous Group level guidance in the second-quarter 2010 interim report: The positive development in order intake is expected to continue and the Group's order stock to grow further. It takes a certain time to convert orders into sales, and therefore, Group sales for the full year 2010 are expected to remain stable or grow from 2009. The Group's operating profit is expected to remain stable compared with 2009 after the inclusion of incremental business development expenses necessary to accelerate growth in line with the Vision. The impact of increasing customer activity on Pöyry's sales and activity levels will only become visible towards the end of the year. COMMENTS FROM HEIKKI MALINEN, PRESIDENT AND CEO:"During the summer we finalised our key strategic priorities for 2010-2013. We aim for increased focus both in businesses and geographies, increased efficiency and cost effectiveness, more value-added services and capabilities with special emphasis on larger project scopes. We will actively manage our business portfolio to strengthen Pöyry's competitive position in the priority segments and geographies. We have also initiated projects to support our key growth enablers. The projects focus on improved project execution capabilities, especially for large projects, improved sales skills and working as One Pöyry. Our market environment is undergoing changes, which include, among other, transfer of private sector investments from mature to emerging markets, weakening public sector demand and overcapacity in certain markets leading to increased price competition. In 2009 Pöyry started a process to adapt capacity in Finland. Since beginning of 2009 our capacity in Finland has reduced permanently by about 400 people and additionally a capacity corresponding to about 200 persons is currently temporarily laid off. To address the continued change in the market situation, Pöyry has launched a Group-wide operational excellence programme. The programme aims at further improving the efficiency and quality of operations. The plan includes streamlining of operations and office network, reducing administration as well as reducing non-billable activities. Implementation of the efficiencyimprovement measures in Finland is expected to take about 6-9 months. The planned reduction in capacity of the currently active workforce is estimated to correspond to 250-350 persons. The targeted annualised cost savings are EUR 10-15 million. In addition, the future outlook for the workforce of about 200 persons temporarily laid off will be carefully considered. The related restructuring costs are estimated to be in the range of EUR 6-10 million including the possible additional costs from earlier reduction measures. The majority of the restructuring costs in Finland is expected to be recorded in the fourth quarter of 2010. Pöyry is highly committed to serving the Finnish market. Even after the estimated capacity reductions Finland will constitute one of our core markets with strong service capabilities employing around 2000 persons. The third-quarter operating profit was unsatisfactory and we have reduced our outlook for the full year operating profit. The main reasons behind the reduced outlook are delays in start-up of awarded major projects, delays in final project investment decisions and low activity level in certain markets. Structural overcapacity in Finland primarily relates to resources which have been allocated for forest industry related export business to mature markets. The Pöyry Group's operating profit for 2010, excluding restructuring costs, is estimated to decline clearly from the comparable figure in 2009. The Group's net sales for the full year 2010 are expected to remain stable."

All figures and sums have been rounded off from the exact figures which may lead to minor discrepancies upon addition or subtraction. The figures in this interim report are unaudited. MARKET REVIEW The growth in exports and industrial production has stimulated the gradual upturn in the world economy during 2010. The growth in Western Europe, especially in Germany, has been even more positive than expected. On the other hand, the recent development in the US has been disappointing. Economic growth e.g. in China and Brazil has been robust. Various leading composite and confidence indicators signal ongoing but slower growth in economic activity. The positive projections on the future recovery in the world economy and improving industrial activity have led to increasing prices in certain commodities and raw materials. Although the increase in pulp prices eased up during the third quarter, the price level can still be considered high. During 2010, the quarterly price of crude oil has remained fairly stable after a clear increase in 2009. The general price development of metals and minerals has been relatively robust during the year. The increase in steel prices, however, stabilised during the third quarter. Despite these positive signs new investments have not yet started on a larger scale. Compared with the previous year, demand for various pre-investment and pre-engineering services has, however, been increasing. Growth in demand for energy continues in emerging markets and the ageing power generation assets in mature markets are expected to lead to future investments. The financial crisis and regulatory uncertainty have prolonged the investment decision process. The positive market development within various industrial sectors and especially in pulp and paper has been reflected in increasing investment planning. Investments into the transportation sector remained strong but the construction sector, particularly the commercial and the industrial sectors, continued to be fairly sluggish. The financial stringency has been affecting public investment activity in the water supply and sanitation segment, especially within Finnish municipalities. The improving economic environment has started to increase demand for management consulting services. Note: Unless otherwise stated, the figures in brackets in the sections below refer to the same period in the previous year. ORDER STOCK Order stock, EUR million, end of period 1-9/2010 1-9/2009 Change, % 2009 Consulting and engineering 538.5 510.8 5.4 483.6 EPC 5.2 3.1 67.7 2.1 Total 543.7 513.9 5.8 485.7 The Group's order stock at the end of the reporting period totalled EUR 543.7 million (513.9) representing growth of 5.8 per cent compared with the year before. The order stock decreased 4.5 per cent from EUR 569.6 million at the end of the second quarter of 2010. Since year-end 2009, however, the order stock has increased by 11.9 per cent. The breakdown by business group for the order stock at the end of the reporting period was as follows: Energy EUR 183.4 million (34 per cent of the total order stock), Industry EUR 72.5 million (13 per cent), Urban & Mobility EUR 196.1 million (36 per cent), Water & Environment EUR 70.6 million (13 per cent) and Management Consulting EUR 21.1 million (4 per cent). ORDER INTAKE The Group's order intake in January-September 2010 increased from the corresponding period in 2009. However, due to lack of larger projects and clients' prolonged decision making, orders received during the third quarter declined from the second quarter of 2010. Within the Energy business group the January-September 2010 order intake was relatively stable compared with the corresponding period the year before. Order intake in the third quarter of 2010 was higher than in the third quarter of 2009 which marked the trough in orders received but lower, however, than in the second quarter of 2010. In the Industry business group the January-September order intake was at a significantly higher level than the year before, even if the third quarter order intake was at a lower level than in the second quarter of 2010. In the Urban & Mobility business group the order intake during the reporting period was lower than in the corresponding period the year before when demand for road and rail-bound transportation systems was particularly brisk. The third-quarter 2010 order intake declined from the relatively high number in the second quarter when a number of major railway construction projects were booked in. The Water & Environment business group's order intake in January- September 2010 was higher than the year before. Order inflow in the third quarter declined from the second quarter reflecting the challenging market situation in the main markets. The improvement in industrial activity has been reflected in the Management Consulting business group's assignments. Order intake in January-September 2010 was higher than the year before even if order intake in the third quarter declined from the second quarter of 2010.

The sales volume declined most in the Industry and Water & Environment business groups. Sales in the Energy business group were fairly stable. Sales in the Urban & Mobility and Management Consulting business groups improved compared with the previous year. Third-quarter net sales increased by 7.3 per cent from the year before and amounted to EUR 161.2 million (150.2). Sales were higher in the Energy, Industry and Management Consulting business groups. Sales were stable in the Urban & Mobility business group and declined in the Water & Environment business group. The Group's net sales declined by 6.1 per cent from the second quarter as sales are seasonally lower in the third quarter. January-September 2010 sales were clearly higher in North America and also increased in South America compared with the corresponding period the year before. Sales in the Nordic countries were relatively stable but declined in other European countries and Asia. Business groups (operating segments) The business group split is based on the structure which has been effective since 1 January 2010. All figures for 2009 have been restated (pro forma) accordingly. All personnel numbers are calculated as full-time equivalents (FTE).

The order stock decreased 4.1 per cent from the end of the second quarter of 2010. The order stock remained, however, 7.3 per cent higher than at the year-end 2009. In March the business group signed EPC contracts for two renewable energy projects in the Philippines with a total value of EUR 46 million. The projects are not included in the order stock due to the continued postponement of the financial closure of the projects. January-September 2010 net sales were stable at EUR 128.2 million (129.9). The net sales during the reporting period have been supported by the solid development of the order stock especially in the hydropower business area. Pöyry has also been awarded several smaller assignments in the renewables and power & fuels business areas. The impacts of the global financial crises have been delaying major investment decisions in the energy sector. January-September 2010 operating profit before EUR 1.0 million restructuring costs amounted to EUR 2.8 million (6.6) and the operating margin remained at an unsatisfactory level at 2.2 per cent of sales (5.1). Low profitability in the oil & gas and renewables segments is still burdening profitability, even after actions to adjust capacity to demand and streamline operations have been taken. Operating profit after the restructuring costs was EUR 1.8 million (5.1) or 1.4 per cent of sales (3.9). In June Pöyry reinforced its nuclear power segment by acquiring 97.8 per cent of the largest privately owned power sector consulting engineering company in Hungary, ETV-Eröterv. ETV-Eröterv has been consolidated in Pöyry's reporting as of 1 July 2010 (balance sheet as at 30 June 2010). 7-9/2010 Order inflow in the third quarter was lower than during the first and second quarters of the year. This reflected the continued uncertainty among clients about launching larger investments Net sales for the third quarter of 2010 totalled EUR 44.3 million (40.0) which is 10.8 per cent higher than in the corresponding period the year before. Net sales increased 7.8 per cent from EUR 41.1 million in the second quarter as the positive development of the order stock is beginning to be visible in the sales volumes. The third-quarter 2010 operating profit was EUR 1,0 million (EUR 1.3 million excluding and EUR 0.6 million including restructuring costs) and the operating margin was 2,3 per cent of sales (3.3 excluding and 1.5 including restructuring costs). The profitability remained low mainly due to the oil & gas and renewables segments. However, actions to improve the situation have been taken.

The order stock decreased 12.1 per cent from the end of the second quarter of 2010 reflecting lower order intake during the third quarter. The order stock was, however, 84.5 per cent higher than at year-end 2009. January-September 2010 net sales were EUR 113.1 million (128.4) representing a fall of 11.9 per cent as the comparison figure during the first half of 2009 was particularly high due to a couple of large projects being in their final execution phases during the corresponding period of 2009. The good development in the order stock during the first part of the year is impacting sales with a lag. January-September 2010 operating profit before restructuring costs of EUR 0.4 million was EUR -6.4 million (1.8) and the operating margin was -5.7 per cent of sales (1.4). The lack of larger projects has been reflected in low activity levels and profitability. To improve order inflow, significant investments have been made in sales and proposal development. The Industry business group has strengthened the detail engineering capabilities in emerging markets, including Brazil, Poland and China. Operating profit after restructuring costs was EUR -6.8 million (-4.9) or -6.0 per cent of sales (‑3.8). 7-9/2010 Order inflow in the third quarter was lower than during the first and second quarters of the year. This reflected the continued uncertainty among clients about launching larger investments. Net sales for the third quarter of 2010 were EUR 37.2 million (31.5) representing an increase of 18.1 per cent. Net sales decreased, however, by 7.2 per cent from the second quarter reflecting the summer vacation period. The third-quarter 2010 operating profit amounted to EUR -0,8 million (EUR -2,2 million excluding and EUR -3,6 million including restructuring costs) and the operating margin was -2,2 per cent of sales (-7.0 excluding and -11.4 including restructuring costs). The low activity levels, which are partly explained by the preparations for projected order inflow, and the lack of larger projects continued to burden profitability, and the actions to adjust capacity to demand were not yet fully visible.

The order stock was also stable compared both with the end of the second quarter and with year-end 2009. The January-September 2010 net sales increased by 3.1 per cent from the year before and totalled EUR 142.1 million (137.8). The January-September 2010 operating profit before restructuring costs of EUR 0.1 million was EUR 8.5 million (11.3) and the operating margin was 6.0 per cent of sales (8.2). The minor restructuring items in 2010 relate mainly to the combining of the former Transportation and Construction Services business groups. The profitability was burdened by lower activity levels in certain markets, continuous business development and growth efforts in new markets such as China, India and Latin America as well as challenges in execution of some projects in Eastern Europe. Operating profit after restructuring costs was EUR 8.4 million (10.9) or 5.9 per cent of sales (7.9). 7-9/2010 Order inflow in the third quarter was lower than during the second quarter of 2010 when a couple of major projects were booked from e.g. China and Mexico. Net sales for the third quarter at EUR 42.6 million (42.6) were stable compared with the year before. Sales declined 18.1 per cent from the second quarter of 2010. The third-quarter 2010 operating profit was EUR 1.6 million (3.7) and the operating margin was 3.8 per cent of sales (8.7). The profitability was burdened by lower activity levels in certain markets, continuous business development and growth efforts in new markets such as China, India and Latin America as well as challenges in execution of some projects in Eastern Europe.

The order stock decreased by 2.6 per cent from the end of the second quarter of 2010 but was, however, 13.3 per cent higher than at year-end 2009. January-September 2010 net sales decreased by 8.6 per cent from the year before and totalled EUR 58.1 million (63.6) reflecting the difficult market environment especially in the main markets in Finland and Germany. The January-September 2010 operating profit amounted to EUR 1.3 million (EUR 3.6 million excluding and EUR 3.4 million including restructuring costs) and the operating margin was 2.2 per cent of sales (5.7 per cent excluding and 5.3 per cent including restructuring costs). Profitability has been burdened mainly by the difficult business environment in the municipal sector and low activity level in Finland. 7-9/2010 Order inflow in the third quarter was lower than during the first and second quarters of the year. This reflects the continuing difficult business environment in the main markets. Net sales for the third quarter of 2010 were EUR 18.9 million (20.6) representing a fall of 8.3 per cent. Net sales also decreased by 5.0 per cent from the second quarter. Operating profit for the third quarter of 2010 amounted to EUR 0.0 million (EUR 1.2 million excluding and EUR 1.1 million including restructuring costs) and the operating margin was 0.0 per cent of sales (5.8 excluding and 5.3 including restructuring costs). Profitability remained below the targeted levels due to the difficult market situation. Actions have been taken to adjust capacity to demand.

The order stock decreased 11.3 per cent from the end of the second quarter of 2010 reflecting the seasonally quiet summer period in order intake. The order stock was, however, 17.2 per cent higher than at year-end 2009. January-September 2010 net sales at EUR 53.7 million were 5.9 per cent higher than the year before (50.7) reflecting the gradually improving market situation as well as the impact of the measures taken to develop the business. The January-September 2010 operating profit before restructuring costs of EUR 2.4 million was fairly stable at EUR 0.1 million (0.0) and the operating margin was 0.2 per cent of sales (0.0). In the second quarter, an action programme was started to reorganise the Management Consulting business group into a more unified an integrated unit which resulted in notable restructuring costs. Operating profit after restructuring costs was EUR -2.3 million (-1.1) or -4.3 per cent of sales (-2.2). 7-9/2010 Order inflow in the third quarter was lower than during the first and second quarters of the year. The net sales for the third quarter of 2010 were EUR 21.1 million (20.1) representing an increase of 5.0 per cent reflecting the good development in the order stock. Net sales were relatively stable compared with the second quarter. The third-quarter 2010 operating profit before EUR 0.2 million restructuring costs amounted to EUR -0.8 (‑0.1) million and the operating margin was -4.4 per cent of sales (-0.7). Underlying profitability is still unsatisfactory. The impact of the action programme started in the second quarter is expected to be realised with a lag. Operating profit after the restructuring costs was EUR -1.0 million (-0.1) or -5.6 per cent of sales (-0.7). Group overhead Unallocated costs in January-September 2010 were EUR 2.6 million (2.5), representing 0.5 per cent of sales (0.5). GROUP FINANCIAL RESULT The consolidated operating loss for the reporting period, including restructuring costs of EUR 4.1 million, totalled EUR -0.3 million (10.9). The consolidated operating margin, including restructuring costs, declined to -0.1 per cent from 2.1 per cent of sales the year before. Profitability in January- September 2010 declined in all business groups. Net financial items were EUR -1.8 million (0.3). Profit before taxes was negative and totalled EUR -2.1 million (11.2). Income taxes were EUR -2.6 million (-4.6). Net profit for the reporting period was EUR -4.7 (6.6) million. Earnings per share were EUR -0.08 (0.09). BALANCE SHEET The consolidated balance sheet is strong. The consolidated balance sheet amounted to EUR 510.9 million at the end of the reporting period, which is EUR 4.5 million lower than at year-end 2009 (515.4) and EUR 20.4 million lower than at the end of June 2010. Total equity at the end of the reporting period was EUR 180.3 million (179.6). Total equity attributable to equity holders of the parent company was EUR 173.3 million (172.0) or EUR 2.92 per share (2.92). The return on equity (ROE) was -3.5 per cent (4.6). The return on investment (ROI) was 0.5 per cent (6.8). CASH FLOW AND FINANCING The Group's liquidity is good. At the end of the reporting period, the Group's cash and cash equivalents and other liquid assets amounted to EUR 77.6 (128.9) million. In addition to these, the Group had unused long-term overdraft facilities amounting to EUR 93.7 million. Net cash from operating activities in the reporting period was EUR -42.2 million (-36.7), representing EUR ‑0.72 per share. Net cash before financing activities was EUR -55.8 million (-50.3). The cash flow includes a net amount of EUR -9.0 million (-10.2) from acquisitions. The cash flow reflects the build-up in net working capital and delays in some project payments. A material part of the latter relates to certain public sector infrastructure projects in Venezuela. The public sector client has certified the debt in full and is arranging ways of payment. During the more than a decade that Pöyry has participated in public sector projects in Venezuela the country has always met its payment obligations in spite of some delays. Cash flow is expected to improve towards the end of the year. Net debt at the end of the reporting period totalled EUR 37.2 million (3.6). The net debt/equity ratio (gearing) was 20.6 per cent (2.0). The equity ratio was 39.9 per cent (39.1). Pöyry paid its shareholders dividends amounting to EUR 5.9 million or EUR 0.10 per share in March 2010. Calculation of key figures is presented on the Calculation of key figures page of this Interim Report. CAPITAL EXPENDITURE AND ACQUISITIONS During the reporting period, the Group's capital expenditure totalled EUR 15.9 million, of which EUR 4.8 million consisted mainly of computer software, systems and hardware, and EUR 11.1 million was due to acquisitions.

IMPORTANT EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE REPORTING PERIOD On 14 October, Pöyry reduced it outlook for the full year 2010 operating profit. On 14 October, Pöyry also released its key strategic priorities and announced that as part of strategy implementation the Group will launch an operational excellence programme. In this conjunction Pöyry announced it will initiate statutory employee negotiation in all its Finnish operations. On 21 October, Pöyry announced engineering contractor services contracts for 6 x 110 and 1 x 120 MW gas-fired combined cycle cogeneration power plant projects in Thailand by Mit-Power (Thailand) Limited, which is owned by Mitsui. The total value of the assignments is about EUR 15 million. The Notice to Proceed (NTP) for the first three contracts with a value of about EUR 7.5 million was issued on 15 October 2010 and the order will be booked into the fourth-quarter 2010 order stock. The NTP for the remaining four projects is expected to be issued and booked in the order stock in 2011. On 28 October Pöyry announced further details about the implementation of the efficiency improvement measures in Finland relating to the operational excellence programme. KEY STRATEGIC PRIORITIES Pöyry has defined its key strategic priorities for 2010-2013 that aim at reaching the financial targets disclosed in connection with the vision launch on 2 December 2009. The strategic priorities include: Key segments and geographies Focus on selected businesses and geographic areas within the energy, industry, urban & mobility and water & environment segments in order to achieve a leadership position. The geographical focus will target markets where the Pöyry Group is able to develop an enduring competitive position and where the mid-to- long-term demand outlook for the company's services is expected to remain positive. These markets include Central and Eastern Europe, Latin America and Russia, in particular. Synergetic services Develop value-added services and capabilities to improve profitability. These include new offerings in management consulting, larger project scopes involving engineering, procurement and construction management and the establishment of cost-competitive engineering centres to better serve chosen segments and geographies. Business portfolio development Active management of the portfolio aims to strengthen Pöyry's competitive position in the priority segments and geographies. Growth enablers Key enablers for profitable growth include thought leadership, large project capabilities, marketing and sales, and way of working. Internal development programmes are being launched to improve the company's execution capabilities in these four areas. OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE PROGRAMME In October, Pöyry announced that as part of strategy implementation and in response to the changing market environment the Group will launch an operational excellence programme that aims at improving the efficiency and quality of operations to serve Pöyry's clientele in an efficient way. The Group-wide programme will be implemented during 2010-2012. Over the past few years Pöyry's market environment has changed, particularly in Finland. Many of Pöyry's core industrial clients have shut down capacity in Finland and are shifting operations to emerging markets. To respond to this development Pöyry started a process to adapt capacity in Finland in 2009. Since beginning of 2009 to this date capacity in Finland has reduced permanently by about 400 people and additionally a capacity corresponding to about 200 persons is currently temporarily laid off. Investment activity especially in the industrial and municipal sectors has further weakened. Thus, the need for structural changes and streamlining of the organisation is most imminent in Finland, and significant cost saving can be achieved. The operational excellence programme aims at streamlining of operations and office network, reducing administration and non-billable activities as well as improving core processes and investing in competence development. Once completed, the Pöyry Group will have a more effective and cost-efficient organisation as well as a streamlined regional office network serving its Finnish clientele. As part of the programme, engineering services continue to be consolidated into engineering centres in cost competitive locations. In this conjunction Pöyry announced it will initiate statutory employee negotiation in all its Finnish operations. Implementation of the efficiency improvement measures in Finland is expected to take about 6-9 months. The planned reduction in capacity, of the currently active workforce, is estimated to correspond to 250-350 persons. The targeted annualised cost savings are EUR 10-15 million. In addition, the future outlook for the workforce of about 200 persons temporarily laid off will be carefully considered. The related restructuring costs are estimated to be in the range of EUR 6-10 million including the possible additional costs from earlier reduction measures. The majority of the restructuring costs in Finland is expected to be recorded in the fourth quarter of 2010. MOST SIGNIFICANT RISKS AND BUSINESS UNCERTAINTIES A major risk relates to the possibility that the world economy would enter a so- called "double-dip" recession. This creates uncertainty and delays in clients' decision making. In addition to uncertainties regarding the world economy and duration of financial stringency, the complexity of large projects creates uncertainty around the timing of investment decisions and project start-ups which are beyond Pöyry's control. This may have an adverse impact on Pöyry's sales and profitability. An important part of Pöyry's business comes from municipal and institutional clients. The increased indebtedness of various economies has led the EU and an increasing number of governments to decide on austerity and cost-reduction measures. These are expected to impact infrastructure investments negatively at some stage. The magnitude and timing is, however, unclear. With respect to municipal clients there is a risk that reduced tax revenues of local governments may impact negatively the funding of infrastructure projects or delay them. Part of Pöyry's sales originates from emerging and developing countries, some of which face political and economic challenges. There is a risk that in projects in these countries payment of invoices may be delayed excessively or the Pöyry Group may experience credit losses. To manage this risk, the company maintains systematic processes for the follow-up and collection of receivables. Pöyry's financial position is solid and the balance sheet is strong. PROSPECTS On 14 October, Pöyry reduced its outlook for the full year 2010 operating profit. In the energy sector fundamentals in the investment activity are unchanged but the timing of investments is unpredictable due to uncertainties in the financial market. In the industrial sectors demand is increasingly geared to emerging markets. In anticipation of new investments Pöyry has reserved some capacity in the Energy and Industry business groups for projected order inflow. The economic uncertainty, continued financial stringency and complexity of large projects have, however, resulted in delays in the start-up of projects. In addition to this, weak demand especially in the oil & gas and renewables segments in the Energy business group, structural overcapacity especially in the Industry business group's Finnish operations and decreased activity levels in the Water & Environment business group's main markets in Finland and Germany, burden profitability. Therefore the Pöyry Group's operating profit for 2010, excluding restructuring costs, is estimated to decline clearly from the comparable figure in 2009. The Group's net sales for the full year 2010 are expected to remain stable. Operating profit outlook for the business groups: The outlook for the operating profit in the Energy and Water & Environment business groups has been reduced from "remains stable" to "declines clearly". The Industry business group's operating profit is expected to remain clearly negative. The outlook for the Urban & Mobility business group remains unchanged and operating profit is expected to remain stable. The Management Consulting business group's operating profit outlook is reduced from "improves" to"stable". Previous Group level outlook in the second-quarter 2010 interim report: The positive development in order intake is expected to continue and the Group's order stock to grow further. It takes a certain time to convert orders into sales, and therefore, Group sales for the full year 2010 are expected to remain stable or grow from 2009. The Group's operating profit is expected to remain stable compared with 2009 after inclusion of incremental business development expenses necessary to accelerate growth in line with the Vision. The impact of increasing customer activity on Pöyry's sales and activity levels will only become visible towards the end of the year. Previous operating profit outlook for the business groups: Both the Energy and Industry business groups' operating profit is estimated to remain stable excluding one-time items. The Urban & Mobility business group's operating profit is expected to remain stable. Equally, the operating profit of the Water & Environment business group is expected to remain stable. The Management Consulting business group's operating profit (excluding one-time items) is expected to improve. Vantaa, 27 October 2010 Pöyry PLC Board of Directors INTERIM REPORT 1 JANUARY - 30 SEPTEMBER 2010 This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 following the same accounting principles as in the annual financial statement for 2009. All figures in the accounts have been rounded and consequently the sum of individual figures can deviate from the presented sum figure. From the beginning of 2010, the Group has adopted the revised IFRS 3 Business Combinations standard and the amended IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements standard. The adoption of the revised standards and interpretations does not have any material effect on the interim report. The Group records from the beginning of 2010 the consulting fees due to acquisitions as other operating expenses. The non-controlling interests are valued as proportionate share of the identifiable net assets. This interim report is unaudited.
