As of the beginning of 2012, Nurminen Logistics Group has reported on four
business segments: Railway Logistics, Special Transports and Projects, Transit
Logistics and Forwarding and Value Added Services. On 20 September 2013, the
company announced the launch of a profit improvement programme in order to
improve its profitability, competitiveness and operational requirements in a
challenging business environment. On 8 November 2013, Nurminen Logistics
announced it will merge the Transit Logistics business unit into the Forwarding
and Value Added Services business unit. The profit improvement actions are
estimated to allow the company to achieve approximately EUR 2 million in annual
savings compared to 2013. On 31 December 2013, Nurminen Logistics announced it
is divesting the 4PL business and selling it to the operative management of the
business. 

As of 1 January 2014, Nurminen Logistics reports on three business units:
Railway Logistics, Special Transports and Projects and Forwarding and Value
Added Services. 

OUTLOOK FOR 2014

Nurminen Logistics expects its net sales, operating result and earnings per
share to improve compared to 2013. 

BOARD OF DIRECTORS' PROPOSAL FOR PROFIT DISTRIBUTION

The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting that no dividend
be paid for the financial year 1 January - 31 December 2013. 

OLLI POHJANVIRTA, PRESIDENT AND CEO:

“The company's financial development was not satisfactory in 2013. We fell
short of our objectives in terms of both net sales and operating profit. Our
operating result excluding non-recurring items amounted to EUR 1.6 million,
compared to EUR 5.6 million in 2012. The general economic conditions remained
subdued in the Finnish market, which was naturally also reflected in our
operations. Our market share has remained good. We are among the three largest
companies in almost all of our service segments in Finland, including
forwarding. In railway logistics, we are the market leader in covered wagons in
rail transport between Finland and Russia. Our growth in the internal markets
of Russia and its neighbouring countries in 2013 was lower than expected. 

In 2013, we carried out considerable restructuring of operations and improved
the efficiency of our operations to better match the prevailing situation.
Among other things, this meant the development of the processes at the Vuosaari
terminal, closing down our Vainikkala terminal, trimming personnel expenses and
also implementing reforms in the senior management of the company. I am certain
that we are heading into 2014 as a considerably more competitive company. 

The past year also included many positives for our company. We achieved
pleasing successes in project transport services related to major industrial
investments. In railway transport services, we secured new customers in Russia
towards the end of the year. In Finland, our market share remained unchanged in
spite of the challenging conditions. In addition, the satisfaction of our
customers with our services remained high, which shows that our employees are
committed and exceptionally skilled. 

Due to the structural changes and efficiency improvement measures carried out
last year, we are well prepared for better profitability. Our strategy will not
change, but the rate at which we implement it will. This year, we aim to
increase the number of our own wagons registered in Russia. We will also invest
in our Russian organisation with the aim of securing new significant customer
accounts. We will grow our special transports and projects business. We will
develop our partner network in the key markets. We know the Russian logistics
market and society well. We expect considerable growth in the internal railway
market in Russia and the CIS countries as well as international project
transports. We intend to achieve results through our own active measures -
regardless of the tight market situation. Our success in the international
market will guarantee competitive service to our Finnish customers as well”,
states CEO Olli Pohjanvirta. 

MARKET SITUATION IN THE REVIEW PERIOD

In railway logistics, the Russian market of important for Nurminen Logistics
wagon types remained stable, although there was some normal seasonal variation.
Due to economic growth levelling off, the average revenue per wagon declined
during the review period and competition for customers intensified. In Finnish
rail export, the demand for transport was slightly weaker than in 2012. The
loading of railway wagons was increasingly done directly at factories, which
reduced the utilisation rate of terminal capacity. The demand for import
transport and forwarding of raw wood remained at a good level throughout the
review period. 

The continued uncertainty in the world economy and the tightening of financial
markets were reflected in the demand for special transports and projects, which
remained subdued. Demand for projects and transports to Russia and the CIS area
was better than in other markets. Competition remained intense and price levels
in the market fluctuated considerably. 

In transit logistics, the demand on routes between the Baltic countries and
Russia remained almost unchanged compared to the previous year. The demand for
transport from the Baltic countries to Central Asia declined substantially from
the high level seen in the comparison period. The demand for services at the
Kotka and Hamina terminals remained at a higher level than in the comparison
period. The market demand for transit logistics through Finland to Russia
fluctuated considerably and price competition was intense. 

The market for forwarding and value added services remained challenging. The
volumes of goods handled fluctuated significantly during the review period.
Demand at the Vuosaari terminal grew, and the company was successful in
acquiring significant new customer accounts there. 

NET SALES AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE 1 JANUARY - 31 DECEMBER 2013

The net sales for the financial period amounted to EUR 63.8 million (2012: EUR
78.4 million), which represents a decrease of 18.6% compared to 2012. The
reported operating result was EUR 216 (5,421) thousand. The operating result
includes non-recurring items of EUR -1,366 (-148) thousand. The comparative
operating result was therefore EUR 1,582 (5,570) thousand. The operating result
was improved by the sale of used rolling stock. 

The non-recurring expenses during the review period were the result of
adjustment measures related to the profit improvement programme, as well as
personnel arrangements and restructuring. The non-recurring expenses in 2012
were due to costs associated with the change of the Group's corporate structure
in Finland. The non-recurring profit recorded in the 2012 financial year
resulted from the one-time payment of a receivable written down in the 2010
financial statements. 

The depreciation of the Russian rouble during the review period decreased the
financial result by EUR 1.1 million. This exchange rate loss had no cash flow
impact. The financial expenses for the period also include a non-recurring debt
arrangement cost of EUR 0.3 million. 

Railway Logistics

The Railway Logistics business unit's net sales for the review period amounted
to EUR 33,131 (2012: 43,620) thousand and the operating result was EUR 5,062
(6,275) thousand. The operating result includes non-recurring items of EUR -794
(-49) thousand. The comparative operating result was therefore EUR 5,855
(6,324) thousand. Volumes in rail exports from Finland to Russia fluctuated
substantially during the year. The total volume for the review period fell
short of the comparison period primarily due to the weakened demand for
transport from Finland to Russia in the fourth quarter. Demand for domestic
transport in Russia and its neighbouring countries remained at a good level,
although it declined somewhat towards the end of the year. The development of
sales and the customer base, along with successful operational improvements in
areas such as domestic transport in Russia, improved the profitability of
operations. As part of the implementation of the Railway Logistics unit's
strategy, the fleet of rolling stock was streamlined by selling certain wagon
types. The proceeds from these sales had a positive effect on the operating
result. 

Special Transports and Projects

The Special Transports and Projects business unit's net sales for the review
period amounted to EUR 8,874 (2012: 9,375) thousand and the operating result
was EUR -221 (441) thousand. The operating result includes non-recurring items
of EUR -76 (-16) thousand. The comparative operating result was therefore EUR
-145 (457) thousand. Despite the intensified competition caused by the weaker
market situation, the net sales of the Special Transports and Projects business
unit only declined by 5% compared to the corresponding period in 2012. However,
the margins on received orders remained at an unsatisfactory level on average.
The results of the profit improvement programme commenced late in the year will
not be reflected in the result until the next financial year. 

Transit Logistics

The Transit Logistics business unit's net sales for the review period amounted
to EUR 9,764 (13,903) thousand and the operating result was EUR -1,108 (2,510)
thousand. The operating result includes non-recurring items of EUR -196 (-42)
thousand. The comparative operating result was therefore EUR -912 (2,552)
thousand. The result of Transit Logistics declined in the review period,
particularly due to a decrease in container volumes transported to the CIS area
and Central Asia through the Baltic countries. The volume of transit logistics
in Finland operated by the Group's Finnish units remained low due to the
decreased market share of Finnish ports and the uncertain situation with
respect to TIR shipments. The export transport volumes and chemical storage
services of the Kotka unit helped compensate for the reduced transit volume. 

Forwarding and Value Added Services

The net sales of the Forwarding and Value Added Services business unit for the
review period amounted to EUR 12,604 (11,774) thousand and the operating result
was EUR -3,516 (-3,805) thousand. The operating result includes non-recurring
items of EUR -300 (-41) thousand. The comparative operating result was
therefore EUR -3,216 (-3,763) thousand. The operational loss of the Vuosaari
logistics centre was EUR 2.2 (2.8) million for the financial year. The action
programme to improve profitability had the expected impact on the development
of the result of terminal operations in Vuosaari, while the demand for
forwarding operations remained low. The impacts of further efficiency
improvement measures implemented in the fourth quarter will not be reflected in
the result until the next financial year.

NET SALES AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE IN THE FOURTH QUARTER

The net sales for the fourth quarter of 2013 amounted to EUR 14.4 million
(2012: EUR 18.4 million), which represents a decrease of 21.6% compared to
2012. The reported operating result was EUR -892 (684) thousand. The operating
result includes non-recurring items of EUR -975 (2012: -217) thousand. The
non-recurring expenses during the fourth quarter of 2013 were the result of
adjustment measures related to the profit improvement programme, as well as
personnel arrangements and restructuring. 

The depreciation of the Russian rouble during the fourth quarter decreased the
company's financial result by EUR 0.2 million. This exchange rate loss had no
cash flow impact. The financial expenses for the fourth quarter also include a
non-recurring debt arrangement cost of EUR 0.3 million. 

The net sales and operating result of Railway Logistics declined in the fourth
quarter as demand weakened due to increased uncertainty in the market. Volumes
decreased particularly in export transport from Finland to Russia. In addition,
a slight decline in demand in the internal market of Russia and its
neighbouring countries led to increased price competition. 

The Special Transports and Projects business unit's net sales decreased and
operating result weakened substantially in the fourth quarter compared to the
corresponding period in 2012. The market situation improved slightly, but the
improvement in the order backlog will not be reflected in the result until the
next financial year. 

In Transit Logistics, the development of the result also weakened in the fourth
quarter, particularly in the Baltic countries. In Finnish operations, volumes
fluctuated throughout the year and turned to an increase late in the review
period. 

In Forwarding and Value Added Services, net sales increased substantially
compared to the corresponding period in 2012 and grew slightly from the third
quarter of 2013. The operational loss of the Vuosaari logistics centre was EUR
0.6 million in the fourth quarter, compared to EUR 0.8 million in the
corresponding period in 2012.

OUTLOOK

Nurminen Logistics expects that its key market of Russia and its neighbouring
countries will grow in 2014 based on already concluded customer agreements and
the stable outlook of the Russian railway market in 2014-2015. Demand in the
Finnish market is expected to be better than in 2013. 

Nurminen Logistics expects its net sales, operating result and earnings per
share to improve compared to 2013. 

The company's long-term goal is to grow at a faster rate than the market, on
average by over 15% per year. Going forward, over 50% of net sales will come
from the growth markets of Russia and its neighbouring countries. The company's
further long-term goals are to improve profitability, achieve an operating
profit level of 10 per cent and return on equity of 20 per cent. 

SHORT-TERM RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Sustained uncertainty in the world economy may result in lower industrial
production volumes and, as a consequence, weaker demand for the company's
services and the cancellation of orders. Unfavourable market development in
Russia and its neighbouring countries, in particular, would have a negative
effect on the development of the company's net sales and result. 

Overcapacity in Finnish ports keeps price competition intense. The company
operates in Vuosaari, Kotka, Hamina, Turku and Rauma harbours, and therefore
the variation in volume development of these ports has an effect on the
company's result. 

The company has received a total of 32 subsequent levy decisions from the
National Board of Customs' Eastern District Office in Lappeenranta, which state
that the company and VG Cargo Plc, which has filed for bankruptcy, are liable
to pay import taxes from the year 2009. The company's liability for the import
taxes is, at a maximum, EUR 0.5 million. The company does not consider itself
liable for the aforementioned import taxes and has not recorded provisions for
the associated costs. If there is a case for subsequent levy, the company's
view is that the levy should primarily be directed at the bankruptcy estate of
VG Cargo Plc and be paid from its valid customs guarantee. The company has
filed an appeal with the Helsinki District Court against the subsequent levy
decisions made by the National Board of Customs. 

The company has received notification of an adjustment decision pertaining to
the taxation of the pre-demerger John Nurminen Ltd for the financial year 2007.
The former John Nurminen Ltd was demerged on 1 January 2008 according to a
demerger plan dated 7 September 2007, with the two receiving companies being
the new John Nurminen and Kasola Plc. Kasola Plc subsequently changed its name
to Nurminen Logistics Plc. According to the adjustment decision, the tax due is
EUR 0.4 million. The allocation of the tax liability between the new John
Nurminen Ltd and Nurminen Logistics Plc will be determined in arbitration
proceedings. 

The potential resolution of the aforementioned disputes in favour of the
counterparty would not affect the company's operating capacity or ability to
fulfill its commitments or other obligations. 

FINANCIAL POSITION AND BALANCE SHEET

The company's cash flow from operations was EUR 3,476 thousand. Cash flow from
investments was EUR 3,419 thousand. Cash flow from financing activities
amounted to EUR -8,122 thousand. 

At the end of the review period, cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR
3,553 thousand. Liquidity remained at a satisfactory level during the review
period, but the weak results of fourth quarter have been weakening the
liquidity in the beginning of 2014. Financing negotiations related to the
company's continuing business operations are planned to be held in the first
quarter of 2014. The management is confident that the negotiations will reach a
positive outcome. 

The Group's interest-bearing debt totalled EUR 23.8 million at the end of the
financial year, while net interest-bearing debt amounted to EUR 20.2 million. 

The balance sheet total was EUR 57.5 million and the equity ratio was 36.4%.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURE

The Group's gross capital expenditure during the review period amounted to EUR
429 (1,145) thousand, accounting for 0.7% of net sales. Depreciation totalled
EUR 3.5 (4.0) million, or 5.5% of net sales. 

GROUP STRUCTURE

The company turned its operations in Finland into independent companies at the
end of 2012. In the transformation, Nurminen Logistics Plc's Forwarding and
Value Added Services, Railway Logistics and Transit Logistics business units
formed one independent company, named Nurminen Logistics Services Oy, and the
Special Transports and Projects business unit was transformed into another
independent company, named Nurminen Logistics Heavy Oy. The new Finnish
companies started operating under the new structure on 1 January 2013. The
companies responsible for the Estonian and Lithuanian operations of Nurminen
Logistics Plc were transferred directly under the parent company in 2012. The
Russian operations will continue as a separate company directly under the
parent company. These implemented structural changes have no impact on Group
reporting. 

The Group comprises the parent company, Nurminen Logistics Plc, as well as the
following subsidiaries and associated companies, owned directly or indirectly
by the parent (ownership, %): RW Logistics Oy (100%), Nurminen Logistics
Services Oy (100%), Nurminen Logistics Heavy Oy (100%), Nurminen Logistics
Finland Oy (100%), OOO John Nurminen, St. Petersburg (100%), Nurminen Maritime
Latvia SIA (51%), Pelkolan Terminaali Oy (20%), ZAO Irtrans (100%), OOO
Nurminen Logistics (100%), OOO John Nurminen Terminal (100%), ZAO Terminal
Rubesh (100%), Nurminen Logistics LLC (100%), UAB Nurminen Maritime (51%),
Nurminen Maritime Eesti AS (51%), Team Lines Latvia SIA (23%) and Team Lines
Estonia Oü (20.3%). 

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Nurminen Logistics offers logistics services and aims to constantly develop
these services both on its own and in cooperation with its partners. Due to the
nature of its operations the company did not have separate research and
development costs in its income statement in 2013. 

PERSONNEL

At the end of the review period the Group's number of personnel stood at 261,
compared to 341 on 31 December 2012. The number of employees working abroad was
66. 

The Railway Logistics unit had 96 employees, the Special Transports and
Projects unit had 23 employees, the Transit Logistics unit had 80 employees and
the Forwarding and Value Added Services unit had 43 employees. Management and
administrative personnel comprised 19 employees.Personnel expenses in 2013
totalled EUR 14.6 million (2012: EUR 15.9 million). 

The company issued a stock exchange release on 19 March 2013 announcing the
conclusion of co-determination negotiations held during the review period. As a
result of the negotiations, the company decided to reorganise and improve the
efficiency of processes, streamline its management structure and consolidate
operations. This requires a reduction in personnel of approximately 23
employees and the cost savings are estimated at roughly EUR 700 thousand in
2013 and approximately EUR 1,100 thousand from 2014 onwards. The non-recurring
costs associated with this, approximately EUR 200 thousand, were lower than
expected and recorded in the first quarter of the year. 

The company issued a stock exchange release on 22 April 2013 to announce that
Nurminen Logistics Services Oy and Transval Handling Oy have signed an
agreement for the outsourcing of goods handling at Nurminen Logistics' Vuosaari
terminal. The agreement took effect on 1 May 2013, with 20 employees previously
employed by Nurminen Logistics Services Oy transferring to Transval Handling Oy
on the same date. The change did not involve any reductions in personnel and
the employees transferred to the new employer as existing employees. 

The company announced on 25 June 2013 that the co-determination negotiations
started on 12 June 2013 pertaining to terminal and forwarding personnel in
Nurminen Logistics Services Oy's Railway Logistics business unit have come to a
close and as a result, the terminal and forwarding personnel of the Railway
Logistics business unit will be laid off for a maximum of 90 days. The layoffs
will take effect before the end of the second quarter of 2014. In addition, the
company is looking into other options for the reorganisation of work, which may
lead to the dismissal of a maximum of 10 persons. The measures agreed on in the
negotiations affect a total of 67 employees. The cost savings associated with
the adjustments implemented as a result of the co-determination negotiations
are estimated at approximately EUR 200 thousand in 2013. 

The company issued a stock exchange release on 8 November 2013 to announce that
it has concluded the statutory co-determination negotiations on the efficiency
programme announced on 20 September 2013. The aim of the efficiency improvement
programme is to improve profitability, competitiveness and operational
requirements in a challenging business environment. The terminal in Vainikkala
will be closed down and the terminal functions will be transferred to the
Luumäki terminal. Forwarding functions will continue in Vainikkala. According
to preliminary estimates, the need for personnel cuts was estimated to be
approximately 40 employees. Retirements and relocation within the Group may
have effects on the need for reductions. The annual savings from reductions
that will be made on the basis of the negotiations are about EUR 2 million
starting from 2014. The non-recurring expenses arising from the need for
personnel reduction amount to approximately EUR 600 thousand, which was
recognised for the last quarter of 2013. 

CHANGES IN THE TOP MANAGEMENT

The Nurminen Logistics Plc's President and CEO Topi Saarenhovi left his
position on 19 November 2013. The Board of Directors of Nurminen Logistics Plc
appointed Mr. Olli Pohjanvirta (LL.M.) as President and CEO of the Company. Mr.
Pohjanvirta has previously acted as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of
the Company. Mr. Olli Pohjanvirta started immediately in the position of the
President and CEO. Mr. Olli Pohjanvirta has resigned from his position as the
Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company. The Board of Directors of
the Company appointed Tero Kivisaari (Master Degrees in Science and Economics)
as the Chairman of the Board. This information was published in a stock
exchange release on 19 November 2013. 

Nurminen Logistics concluded on 8 November 2013 the statutory co-determination
negotiations on the efficiency programme announced by the company on 20
September 2013. The aim of the efficiency improvement programme is to improve
profitability, competitiveness and operational requirements in a challenging
business environment. The company merged the Transit Logistics units in Kotka
and Hamina into the Forwarding and Value Added Services business unit, in which
three new business lines was created. The new business lines were Forwarding,
Cargo Handling and Neutral Logistics Outsourcing (4PL). Topi Saarenhovi,
President and CEO, was responsible for the new merged business unit. Mike
Karjagin was appointed as the head of the Forwarding business line, Risto
Holopainen as the head of the Cargo Handling business line and Janne Lehtimäki
as the head of the Neutral Logistics Outsourcing (4PL) business line. The new
business line heads assumed their positions on 11 November 2013. The above
restructuring resulted in changes in Nurminen Logistics' Executive Board. As of
11 November 2013, the line-up of Nurminen Logistics Plc's Executive Board was
as follows: Topi Saarenhovi (President and CEO), Paula Kupiainen (CFO), Fedor
Larionov (Senior Vice President, Railway Logistics) and Hannu Vuorinen (Senior

The Board of Directors of Nurminen Logistics Plc decided on a new stock option
plan 

The company announced on 14 January 2014 a new key employee stock option plan.
The company has a weighty financial reason for the issue of stock options,
since the stock options are intended to form part of the incentive and
commitment program for the Group key employees. The purpose of the stock
options is to encourage the key employees to work on a long-term basis to
increase shareholder value. The purpose of the stock options is also to commit
the key employees to the employer. 

The maximum total number of stock options issued is 1,500,000, and they entitle
their owners to subscribe for a maximum total of 1,500,000 new shares in the
company or existing shares held by the company. The stock options will be
issued gratuitously. Of the stock options, 500,000 are marked with the symbol
2014A, 500,000 are marked with the symbol 2014B and 500,000 are marked with the
symbol 2014C. The Board of Directors will decide upon the distribution of stock
options to the key employees. 

The number of shares subscribed by exercising stock options now issued
corresponds to a maximum total of 10.34 per cent of all shares and votes of the
shares in the company after the potential share subscription, if new shares are
issued in the share subscription. 

The share subscription price of the stock options 2014 is EUR 1.60 per share.
The share subscription price is based on the prevailing price of the company's
share. The share subscription price will be credited to the reserve for
invested unrestricted equity. 

The share subscription period, for stock option 2014A will be 1 April 2015 - 31
March 2018, for stock option 2014B, 1 April 2016 - 31 March 2018, and for stock
option 2014C, 1 April 2017 - 31 March 2018. The share subscription period will
begin only if the Group's net result is positive during the period of time
determined by the Board of Directors. 

After the share subscriptions with stock options, the number of the company's
shares may be increased by a maximum total of 1,500,000 shares, if new shares
are issued in the share subscription. 

The Board of Directors decided on the new stock option plan on the basis of the
authorization granted by the company's Annual General Meeting held on 15 April
2013. Approximately 10 key employees, including the members of the Group's
Executive Board and other separately named executives, belong to the target
group of the plan. For all key employees, the prerequisite for receiving stock
options is share ownership in the company. 

Nurminen Logistics Plc arranges a share issue to the personnel

The Board of Directors of Nurminen Logistics Plc has decided on 14 January 2014
to arrange a share issue directed to the personnel. In the share issue, new
shares in the company will be offered for subscription to all Group employees. 

In the share issue, a maximum total of 200,000 new shares in the company will,
in deviation from the shareholders' pre-emptive right, be offered for
subscription to the Group personnel. The company has a weighty financial reason
for the deviation from the shareholders' pre-emptive right, since the purpose
of the share issue is to encourage the personnel to acquire and own the
company´s shares. The Group employs 197 people in Finland and 66 people outside
Finland. 

The share subscription price is EUR 1.48 per share. The share subscription
price is based on the trade volume weighted average quotation of the company's
share on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd between 1 December 2013 and 31 December 2013,
and on a discount of 10 per cent calculated from such price. The trade volume
weighted average quotation of the company's share during the above period is
EUR 1.64 per share. The share subscription period will be 10 March-20 March
2014, and approved subscriptions must be paid no later than 11 April 2014. The
minimum subscription is 100 shares. 

The decision on the share issue is based on the authorization granted by the
Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on 15 April 2013. 

Change in Nurminen Logistics' own shares

A total of 10,030 shares granted as share-based incentives have been returned
to Nurminen Logistics on February 6, 2014 in accordance with the terms of the
incentive plan as the employment ended. Nurminen Logistics holds now a total of
20,275 its own shares. The number of own shares corresponds to 0.2% of all
Nurminen Logistics shares. This information was published in a stock exchange
release on 6 February 2014. 

Nurminen Logistics will centralise its railway terminal operations to Luumäki

Nurminen Logistics announced on 20 January 2014 its plans to reduce its
terminal capacity and transfer terminal operations from the Niirala terminal to
the Luumäki terminal. Due to the personnel impact of the planned changes,
Nurminen Logistics launched co-determination negotiations concerning the
terminal and forwarding personnel of the Niirala location. The co-determination
negotiations were concluded on 11 February 2014, and the company has decided to
shut down the Niirala terminal and centralise its railway terminal operations
to Luumäki. Project deliveries through the Niirala project field will be
continued. As a result of the negotiations, Nurminen Logistics will permanently
lay off a maximum of nine people in Niirala. The lay-offs will be carried out
without delay. The company will support those being laid off to find new
employment. According to preliminary estimates, Nurminen Logistics will record
approximately EUR 0.2 million of expenses related to the arrangement to the
first quarter of 2014. The arrangement will save EUR 0.4 million annually from
2015 onwards. 

By centralising its railway terminal operations to the Luumäki terminal,
Nurminen Logistics will adapt its operations to the market change taking place
in Finland, in which railway wagons are more often loaded directly at the
factory, and geographical routes change. The company's strategy is to
strengthen its position in domestic railway transport in Russia and nearby
countries, railway transport between Finland and Russia, as well as in special
and project transport. These changes will not affect this strategy.
