The order stock increased especially in the Industry business group. - The gradual upturn in the world economy during 2010 did not yet turn into larger implementation projects in Pöyry's key sectors, which was reflected in the Group's net sales. The consolidated net sales in 2010 were relatively stable compared with the year before and came in at EUR 681.6 million (673.5). Fourth- quarter net sales increased by 15.2 percent from the year before and amounted to EUR 186.0 million (161.5). - Lack of larger projects and continued low capacity utilisation levels burdened profitability. In addition to this, the company's operational efficiency program resulted in significant restructuring costs. - Operating profit excluding restructuring costs was EUR 17.3 million (22.5) corresponding to 2.5 percent (3.3) of sales. The improved operating profit in the fourth quarter mainly relates to profit recognition in a long-running major project of the Urban & Mobility business group based on certificates issued by the client confirming the acceptance of the services and the related receivable. - Restructuring costs during the reporting period totalled EUR 11.5 million. The bulk of the restructuring costs, EUR 7.4 million, were recorded in the fourth quarter of 2010 and they related mainly to the efficiency improvement measures in the Group's Finnish operations. - The consolidated operating profit for the reporting period, including restructuring costs, totalled EUR 5.8 million (11.6). The consolidated operating margin declined to 0.9 percent from 1.7 percent of net sales the year before. - Net cash before financing activities was EUR -29.2 million (-25.6). The cash flow includes a net amount of EUR -9.7 million (-10.6) from acquisitions. The cash flow at EUR 26.6 million (24.7) was strong during the fourth quarter reflecting the typical seasonal pattern of the business. - The cash flow reflects the continued delay in some major project payments. The accounts receivable include receivables of EUR 30.9 million which relates to certain public sector infrastructure projects in Venezuela, where the client is a public authority. - In 2010 Pöyry reinforced its nuclear power segment by acquiring 98.9 percent of the largest privately owned power sector consulting engineering company in Hungary, ETV-Eröterv. - Operational Excellence Programme was announced in October and is proceeding according to plan. At the year-end 2010 about two thirds of the measures that aim at the annual operating profit improvement of about EUR 15 million were completed. The targeted operating profit improvement is expected to be fully captured by the end of 2011. PROPOSED DIVIDEND - Pöyry Group's parent company Pöyry PLC's net profit for 2010 was EUR 12,145,936.80 and retained earnings EUR 89,681,088.17, so the total amount of distributable earnings was EUR 101,827,024.97. - The Board of Directors of Pöyry PLC proposes to the Annual General Meeting on 10 March 2011 that a dividend of EUR 0.10 (0.10) per share be paid for the year 2010. - The number of outstanding shares is 59,011,650 and the total amount of dividends thus EUR 5,901,165.00. - The Board of Directors proposes that the dividend be paid on 22 March 2011. MATERIALS TO THE AGM The financial statements, the report by the Board of Directors, the Corporate Governance Statement as well as other documents presented to the Annual General Meeting will be available on the company's website at www.poyry.com on 17 February at the latest. OUTLOOK FOR THE FIRST HALF OF 2011 Pöyry's businesses are predominantly driven by clients' new capital investments and most of the businesses are also inherently late in the cycle. It is difficult to predict the timing of clients' new investment decisions and project start-ups. Due to these uncertainties Pöyry makes a forecast only for the first half of 2011. The Group net sales for the first half of 2011 are expected to improve from the corresponding period in 2010. The Group's comparable operating profit in the first half of 2011 is expected to improve significantly from the operating profit, excluding restructuring costs, in the corresponding period in 2010, taking into consideration the small numbers in the reference period. Pöyry will update the forecast as soon as more accurate information is available. Outlook by the business group for the first half of 2011: The preconditions for net sales growth are strongest in Energy and Management Consulting business groups. Net sales in the Industry business group are also expected to improve. The net sales in the Urban & Mobility and Water & Environment business groups are expected to remain stable. Operating profit in the Energy, Industry, and Management Consulting business groups is estimated to improve significantly taking into consideration the small numbers in the reference period. The operating profit in the Water & Environment business group is expected to improve, and remain stable in the Urban & Mobility business group. COMMENTS FROM HEIKKI MALINEN, PRESIDENT AND CEO:"At the outset of the year 2010 we were cautiously optimistic that investment recovery in the geographic markets we serve would gradually begin recovering. Looking back at various events it is clear that many of our clients' projects were postponed due to near-term uncertainty in demand, unclear regulatory frameworks or simply lack of competitive financing. The competitive situation in many markets intensified in 2010 due to overcapacity in engineering. For Pöyry this meant that we were not able to achieve the targeted activity level. The outcome of this can be seen in our non-satisfactory financial result which was further impacted by the need to restructure and incur significant one-time costs. Following the launch of the new vision we completed our strategic review in the summer of 2010. Our aim is to achieve profitable growth through increased focus on core businesses and geographies, investments in developing our large projects capabilities and active management of the business portfolio. As part of the strategy implementation we initiated an Operational Excellence Program in October. The first major implementation milestone relating to the programme was reached in December when Pöyry announced decisions to adapt capacity and to improve its operational model in Finland with targeted annual operating profit improvement of about EUR 15 million. Therefore, we were forced to reduce our capacity by approximately 400 persons. Pöyry remains clearly the largest consulting engineer in the Finnish market with a strong regional office network. As we start the new fiscal year we are seeing encouraging signs of gradual recovery, in particular, in industry and energy markets. The first new pulp investment in Brazil, Eldorado, is moving into implementation phase. Furthermore, we are pleased to have won an important reference project for MWV Rigesa Ltda, in Três Barras, Brazil. The assignment consists of contracts for EPC Open Book of the Balance of Plant (BOP) together with the associated EPCM services, and Project Management services for the overall project support to the client. The total value of Pöyry's contracts is about BRL 325 million (about EUR 144 million). The Rigesa project strengthens Pöyry's position as the market leader in delivering EPCM/EPC-type engineering and project management services to pulp and paper clients."

DISTRIBUTION: NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Major media www.poyry.com FINANCIAL STATEMENT RELEASE JANUARY-DECEMBER 2010 Figures in brackets, unless otherwise stated, refer to the same period the previous year. All figures and sums have been rounded off from the exact figures which may lead to minor discrepancies upon addition or subtraction. The annual figures in this financial statement release are audited. MARKET REVIEW The growth in exports and industrial production stimulated the gradual upturn in the world economy during 2010. The growth in Western Europe, especially in Germany, was even more positive than expected and economic growth in, for example, China and Brazil was robust. In the US, the industrial production increased well even though in the second half of the year at a slower pace than in the first part. The positive projections on the future recovery in the world economy and improving industrial activity 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 could still be considered above trend levels. In 2010, the quarterly price of crude oil recovered, supported by the growing oil demand, especially towards the end of the year. The general price development of metals and minerals has been robust during the year Despite these positive signs new investments did not start on a larger scale in the sectors and geographies primarily served by Pöyry. Compared with the previous year, demand for various pre-investment and pre-engineering services did, however, increase. 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 in medium term. Unfortunately, uncertainty regarding the regulatory framework for low carbon energy created uncertainty and led to investment delays. Challenges in obtaining financing at favourable terms postponed investment decisions, in particular, among project developers. The improving market situation in various industrial sectors, and especially in the emerging markets, was reflected in increasing investment planning, even though the actual investment decisions did not materialise during 2010. Investments in the transportation sector remained strong. The activity in the construction sector decreased during the year, particularly in the commercial and industrial sectors, and settled at this lower level towards the end of the year. 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.

The order stock increased especially in the Industry business group. The breakdown by business group for the order stock at the end of the reporting period was as follows: Energy EUR 183.2 million (35 percent of the total order stock), Industry EUR 66,0 million (13 percent), Urban & Mobility EUR 187,6 million (36 percent), Water & Environment EUR 66,5 million (13 percent) and Management Consulting EUR 22,9 million (4 percent). ORDER INTAKE The Group's order intake in January-December 2010 was supported by the gradually improving economic activity and increased from 2009. However, no major large projects were booked during the year and the order inflow mainly consisted of smaller and mid-sized assignments. Orders received during the fourth quarter increased both from the fourth quarter of 2009 and from the third quarter of 2010.

The consolidated net sales in 2010 were relatively stable compared with the year before and came in at EUR 681.6 million (673.5). Fourth-quarter net sales increased by 15.2 percent from the year before and amounted to EUR 186.0 million (161.5). The Group's net sales in the fourth quarter increased by 15.4 percent from the seasonally low third quarter of 2010. January-December 2010 net sales were significantly higher in both North and South America compared with the year before. Net sales in the Nordic countries and in other European countries were relatively stable but declined in 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 remained stable also compared with the third quarter of 2010. 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 were not included in the 2010 order stock due to the continued postponement of the financial closure of the projects. January-December 2010 net sales were fairly stable at EUR 171.2 million (173.9). The net sales during the reporting period were 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 delayed major investment decisions in the energy sector. January-December 2010 operating profit before EUR 2.0 million restructuring costs amounted to EUR 6.4 million (7.8). Operating margin remained at an unsatisfactory level at 3.7 percent of net sales (4.5). Low profitability in the oil & gas and renewables segments burdened the overall profitability, but the actions to adjust capacity to demand and streamline operations have started to yield results during the fourth quarter of 2010. Operating profit after the restructuring costs was EUR 4.4 million (5.9) or 2.5 percent of net sales (3.4). In 2010 Pöyry reinforced its nuclear power segment by acquiring 98.9 percent 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). 10-12/2010 Order inflow in the fourth quarter increased from the low third quarter of 2010 and was at the same level as in the fourth quarter of 2009. During the fourth quarter Pöyry was awarded, for example, contracts totalling EUR 15 million for power plant projects in Thailand. The first projects were started during 2010 and the rest will be commenced during early 2011. Net sales for the fourth quarter of 2010 at EUR 43.0 million (44.0) were relatively stable compared with the year before. Net sales decreased slightly from EUR 44.3 million in the third quarter of 2010. The fourth quarter 2010 operating profit before EUR 1.0 million restructuring costs was EUR 3.6 (1.2) and the operating margin was 8.4 percent of net sales (2.7). The profitability increased among other things due to the successful restructuring measures in certain poorly performing business areas and segments. Operating profit after restructuring costs was EUR 2.6 million (0.8) or 6.0 percent of net sales (1.9).

The order stock decreased 9.0 percent from the end of the third quarter of 2010 reflecting the lack of larger orders but also high net sales during the fourth quarter. The January-December 2010 net sales at EUR 159.8 million (162.0) remained fairly stable compared with the year before. The good development in the order stock during the first part of the year supported the net sales towards the end of the year. The January-December 2010 operating profit before restructuring costs of EUR 5.5 million was EUR -6.3 million (-3.5) and the operating margin was -3.9 percent of net sales (-2.2). The lack of larger projects was reflected in low activity levels and profitability. The restructuring costs mainly relate to the major efficiency improvement measures decided on in Finland in late 2010 as part of the Group's Operational Excellence Programme. The ramp-up of engineering centres (Finland, Poland, Brazil, China) serving especially larger projects for industrial clients resulted in the decision to consolidate the Finnish engineering centre operations in Kouvola. It was also decided to cluster the office network in Finland under a regional model with wider scope of services and improved cost efficiency. Operating profit after restructuring costs was EUR -11.8 million (-10.1) or -7.4 percent of net sales (-6.2). 10-12/2010 Order inflow in the fourth quarter was significantly higher than in the corresponding period the year before and increased also clearly from the low third quarter of 2010. The order inflow was mainly supported by smaller assignments as clients did not launch larger investments during the period. Net sales for the fourth quarter of 2010 were EUR 46.7 million (33.6) representing an increase of 39.0 percent compared with the year before. Net sales also increased by 25.5 percent from the seasonally low third quarter. The fourth quarter 2010 operating profit before EUR 5.1 million restructuring costs was at EUR 0.1 million (-5.3) and the operating margin was 0.2 percent of net sales (-15.8). The restructuring costs relate to the major restructuring measures decided in Finland during the quarter. The increased net sales and increased activity levels improved profitability during the quarter. Operating profit after restructuring costs was EUR -5.0 million (-5.2) or -10.7 percent of net sales (-15.5).

Supported by the solid order stock and strong net sales during the fourth quarter, the January-December 2010 net sales increased by 6.9 percent from the year before and totalled EUR 197.2 million (184.5). The January-December 2010 operating profit before restructuring costs of EUR 0.7 million was EUR 18.5 million (15.5) and the operating margin was 9.4 percent of net sales (8.4). The improved operating profit in the fourth quarter mainly relates to profit recognition in a long-running major project based on certificates issued by the client confirming the acceptance of the services and the related receivable. The increased net sales and the profit recognition mentioned above during the fourth quarter were reflected in the good operating profit for the full year 2010. Operating profit after restructuring costs was EUR 17.8 million (14.9) or 9.0 percent of net sales (8.1). 10-12/2010 Order inflow in the fourth quarter increased from the low third quarter of 2010 and was relatively stable compared with the fourth quarter of 2009. During the fourth quarter Pöyry was awarded , for example, an extension to its existing railway engineering assignment in Romania. The value of the contract is EUR 6.9 million. The net sales for the fourth quarter at EUR 55.1 million (46.7) increased compared with the year before. Net sales also increased clearly from the third quarter of 2010. The fourth quarter 2010 operating profit before EUR 0.6 million restructuring costs was EUR 10.0 million (4.2) and the operating margin was 18.1 percent of net sales (9.0). The improved operating profit in the fourth quarter mainly relates to profit recognition in a long-running major project based on certificates issued by the client confirming the acceptance of the services and the related receivable. Operating profit after restructuring costs was EUR 9.4 million (4.0) or 17.0 percent of net sales (8.6).

The order stock decreased by 5.8 percent from the end of the third quarter of 2010 reflecting the continued challenging market environment. The January-December 2010 net sales decreased by 8.3 percent from the year before and totalled EUR 79.3 million (86.5) reflecting the difficult market environment especially in Finland. The January-December 2010 operating profit before restructuring costs of EUR 0.6 million was EUR 1.9 million (5.1) and the operating margin was 2.4 percent of net sales (6.0). Profitability was burdened during the year mainly by the difficult business environment in the municipal sector and low activity level in Finland where actions were taken to adjust capacity to demand. Operating profit after restructuring costs was EUR 1.3 million (4.9) or 1.7 percent of net sales (5.7). 10-12/2010 Order inflow in the fourth quarter remained at the same level as in the corresponding period the year before and in the third quarter of 2010. This reflects the continuing difficult business environment in the main markets. Net sales for the fourth quarter of 2010 were EUR 21.2 million (22.9) representing a fall of 7.4 percent compared with the year before. Net sales increased by 12.2 percent from the third quarter of 2010. The fourth quarter 2010 operating profit before EUR 0.6 million restructuring costs was EUR 0.6 million (1.6) and the operating margin was 2.8 percent of net sales (7.0). Profitability remained low due to the difficult market situation in Finland.

The order stock also increased by 8.5 percent from the end of the seasonally quiet third quarter of 2010. The January-December 2010 net sales at EUR 73.6 million were 7.4 percent higher than the year before (68.5) reflecting the gradually improving market situation as well as the impact of the measures taken to develop the business. The January-December 2010 operating profit before restructuring costs of EUR 2.2 million was EUR 1.7 million (1.2) and the operating margin was 2.3 percent of net sales (1.8). In the second quarter, an action programme was started to reorganise the Management Consulting business group into a more unified and integrated unit which resulted in notable restructuring costs. The reorganisation was successfully completed during 2010. Operating profit after restructuring costs was EUR -0.5 million (-0.4) or -0.6 percent of net sales (- 0.7). 10-12/2010 Order inflow in the fourth quarter was clearly higher than in the corresponding period the year before and in the third quarter of 2010 reflecting the slightly improving market environment especially in the energy sector as well as the internal actions to enhance sales. The net sales for the fourth quarter of 2010 were EUR 19.9 million (17.8) representing an increase of 11.8 percent and reflecting the good development in the order stock. Net sales increased by 10.6 percent compared with the third quarter of 2010. The fourth quarter 2010 operating profit amounted to EUR 1.8 million (EUR 1.2 million excluding and EUR 0.7 million including restructuring costs) and the operating margin was 9.2 percent of net sales (6.7 excluding and 3.6 including restructuring costs). Group overhead Unallocated costs in January-December 2010 were EUR 5.4 million (3.6), representing 0.8 percent of net sales (0.5). GROUP FINANCIAL RESULT Lack of larger projects and continued low capacity utilisation levels burdened profitability and the operating profit was EUR 17.3 million (22.5), excluding restructuring costs. Operating margin was 2.5 percent (3.3) of sales. Actions to improve efficiency resulted in significant restructuring costs. The consolidated operating profit for the reporting period, including restructuring costs of EUR 11.5 million, totalled EUR 5.8 million (11.6). The consolidated operating margin declined to 0.9 percent from 1.7 percent of net sales the year before. Profitability challenges were high in the business groups that operate mainly in the investment driven private sector, i.e. the Energy and Industry business groups. Their low activity levels were caused by, for example, delays in the start-up of awarded major projects. The Energy and Industry business groups also recorded substantial restructuring costs during the year. The Urban & Mobility business group's improved operating profit in the fourth quarter mainly relates to profit recognition in a long-running major project based on certificates issued by the client confirming the acceptance of the services and the related receivable. The business group recorded only minor restructuring costs. The Water & Environment business group suffered from the poor financial position of the municipal sector especially in Finland, where actions were taken to reorganise the business with some related restructuring costs. The Management Consulting business group's operating profit was slightly negative. The business group recorded substantial restructuring costs and also made investments in developing the business model in the very challenging market environment. Net financial items were EUR -1.5 million (0.8). Profit before taxes totalled EUR 4.3 million (12.4). Income taxes were EUR -3.9 million (-4.4). Net profit was EUR 0.4 (8.0) million. Earnings per share were EUR 0.00 (0.11). BALANCE SHEET The consolidated balance sheet is strong. The consolidated balance sheet amounted to EUR 532.5 million at the end of the reporting period, which is EUR 17.1 million higher than at year-end 2009 (515.4) and EUR 21.6 million higher than at the end of September 2010. Total equity at the end of the reporting period was EUR 187.1 million (184.0). Total equity attributable to equity holders of the parent company was EUR 179.9 million (176.0) or EUR 3.03 per share (2.98). The return on equity (ROE) was 0.2 percent (4.1). The return on investment (ROI) was 2.6 percent (5.3). 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 99.0 (142.0) million. In addition to these, the Group had unused long-term overdraft facilities amounting to EUR 93.9 million. Net cash from operating activities in the reporting period was EUR -13.1 million (-10.4), representing EUR -0.22 per share. Net cash before financing activities was EUR -29.2 million (-25.6). The cash flow includes a net amount of EUR -9.7 million (-10.6) from acquisitions. The cash flow at EUR 26.6 million (24.7) was strong during the fourth quarter reflecting the typical seasonal pattern of the business. The cash flow reflects the continued delay in some major project payments. The accounts receivable include receivables of EUR 30.9 million, which relate to certain public sector infrastructure projects in Venezuela, where the client is a public authority. The client has certified the debt in full. In December 2010, the Venezuelan Parliament passed the National Debt Law, which approved external debt for the projects concerned. The client is arranging financing for the payment of the said project receivables. It is still possible that the payments will also be made directly from the national budget. Several project suppliers have significant receivables in these projects. These accounts receivable contain uncertainties. It is possible that the client is not able to arrange the financing or even if it materialised, there could be further delays in the payments or parts of them. 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 delays. Net debt at the end of the reporting period totalled EUR 6.5 million (-19.3). The net debt/equity ratio (gearing) was 3.5 percent (-10.5). Net debt was decreased by EUR 30.7 million after the end of September 2010. The equity ratio was 40.1 percent (40.9). 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 financial statement release. CAPITAL EXPENDITURE AND ACQUISITIONS During the reporting period, the Group's capital expenditure totalled EUR 18.6 million, of which EUR 6.8 million consisted mainly of computer software, systems and hardware, and EUR 11.8 million was due to acquisitions. +------------------------------+------+------+-----+-----+ |Capital expenditure, |10-12/|10-12/|1-12/|1-12/| |EUR million | 2010| 2009| 2010| 2009| +------------------------------+------+------+-----+-----+ |Capital expenditure, operative| 2.0| 1.0| 6.8| 4.8| +------------------------------+------+------+-----+-----+ |Capital expenditure, shares | 0.7| 0.8| 11.8| 5.0| +------------------------------+------+------+-----+-----+ |Capital expenditure, total | 2.7| 1.8| 18.6| 9.8| +------------------------------+------+------+-----+-----+ HUMAN RESOURCES +----------------------------------------------------------+-----+-----+-------+ |Personnel (FTE) by business group, at the end of the |1-12/|1-12/|Change,| |period | 2010| 2009| %| +----------------------------------------------------------+-----+-----+-------+ |Energy |1,463|1,402| 4.4| +----------------------------------------------------------+-----+-----+-------+ |Industry |2,083|1,790| 16.4| +----------------------------------------------------------+-----+-----+-------+ |Urban & Mobility |1,724|1,858| -7.2| +----------------------------------------------------------+-----+-----+-------+ |Water & Environment | 891| 908| -1.9| +----------------------------------------------------------+-----+-----+-------+ |Management Consulting | 498| 451| 10.4| +----------------------------------------------------------+-----+-----+-------+ |Group staff and shared resources | 142| 121| 17.4| +----------------------------------------------------------+-----+-----+-------+ |Personnel, total |6,801|6,530| 4.2| +----------------------------------------------------------+-----+-----+-------+ +----------------------------------------------------------+-----+-----+-------+ |Personnel (FTE) by geographic area, at the end of the |1-12/|1-12/|Change,| |period | 2010| 2009| %| +----------------------------------------------------------+-----+-----+-------+ |Nordic countries |2,467|2,510| -1.7| +----------------------------------------------------------+-----+-----+-------+ |Other Europe |2,859|2,826| 1.2| +----------------------------------------------------------+-----+-----+-------+ |Asia | 538| 529| 1.7| +----------------------------------------------------------+-----+-----+-------+ |North America | 215| 198| 8.6| +----------------------------------------------------------+-----+-----+-------+ |South America | 615| 344| 78.8| +----------------------------------------------------------+-----+-----+-------+ |Other areas | 107| 123| -13.0| +----------------------------------------------------------+-----+-----+-------+ |Personnel, total |6,801|6,530| 4.2| +----------------------------------------------------------+-----+-----+-------+ Personnel structure The Group had an average of 6,611 (7,052) employees (FTEs) during the reporting period, which is 6.3 percent less than the year before. The number of personnel at the end of the reporting period was 6,801 (6,530). To support projected order inflow in the Industry business group, staff have been recruited in Brazil, Poland and China. The statutory employee negotiations initiated as part of the Operational Excellence Programme in October 2010 in Pöyry's Finnish operations resulted in the decision to reduce capacity by about 400 persons. Including the reductions mentioned above, the estimate for the total need for capacity reductions in Finland is 450-500 persons. The improved operational model is expected to be implemented by the end of the second quarter of 2011. The Pöyry Way In 2010 many Pöyry employees contributed to defining the Pöyry way of working. This process culminated in the renewed value base being captured and launched as the "Pöyry Way". The key concepts and principles were communicated to the staff in the autumn of 2010. The Pöyry Way combines the best of the company's past with its aspirations for the future. Organisational capabilities To ensure that Pöyry Group's organisational capabilities will develop in accordance with changing business needs, the principles and actions for development are defined as a part of the annual strategy process. The new vision sets a clear agenda for the development focus areas and will provide exciting career opportunities for our staff.

Supplementing the base salary, the Group has implemented bonus schemes which are primarily aimed at the Group companies' line management, but which will be increasingly directed at individual experts, such as staff in project work. Performance share plan 2008-2010 In December 2007, the Board of Directors of Pöyry PLC approved a share-based incentive plan for the key personnel. The plan comprises three earning periods, which are the calendar years 2008, 2009 and 2010. The rewards will be paid partly (50 percent) in the company's shares and partly (50 percent) in cash in 2009, 2010 and 2011. For the earning period 2010 the payout will correspond to the value of 263,220 shares. The payout from the plan is based on the Group's earnings per share before restructuring costs (EPS) and net sales as well as the condition of service or employment not having been terminated prior to reward payment. If the service or employment ends prior to vesting 1 January 2013, the received shares must be returned to the Company gratuitously. The incentive plan included about 300 persons in the year 2010. The payments will be made to the participants in April 2011, after the AGM has adopted the financial statements. The total payout for the three earning periods of the performance share plan 2008-2010 correspond to the value of 696,674 shares. This payout is 54 percent as an average of the target level budget of the whole plan. More detailed information about the incentive plan has been released in the Company Announcement of 11 December 2007. Performance share plan 2011-2013 In February 2011 the Board of Directors of Pöyry PLC approved a new share-based incentive plan for the Pöyry Group key personnel. The plan includes earning periods which commence at the beginning of years 2011, 2012 and 2103. The first earning period is calendar years 2011-2013. The Board of Directors will annually decide on the details of the earning periods commencing in 2012 and 2013. The potential reward from the plan for the earning period 2011-2013 will be based on the Group's Earnings per Share before restructuring costs (EPS) and Net Sales, as well as on the continuance of employment or service. The rewards earned on the basis of earnings period 2011-2013 will be paid partly in the Company's shares and partly in cash in 2014. The incentive plan is directed to approximately 300 people. The rewards to be paid on the basis of the earnings period 2011-2013 will correspond to a maximum total of 475,000 Pöyry PLC shares if the target performance set by the Board of Directors is met. If the Company's performance exceeds the target and reaches maximum performance, as defined by the Board of Directors, the rewards to be paid on the basis of the earning period 2011-2013 will correspond to a maximum total of 950,000 Pöyry PLC shares. These numbers of shares include also the proportion of reward to be paid in cash. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT The key cornerstone in Pöyry's business is the ability to provide clients with a full range of innovative and value-adding consulting engineering services covering the entire lifecycle of their investment projects. To be able to help clients truly improve their businesses, Pöyry is continuously engaged in numerous research and development projects. The projects are conducted both on Pöyry's own initiative and in partnership with clients and research institutions. In 2010 Pöyry was involved in a number of development projects that are related to climate change, the development of new products and services, operations improvement and methodology and software. As the R&D expenses are mainly embedded in client projects, they have not been accounted for separately. When approaching the end of its Vision period in 2020 Pöyry's aim is to be able to offer increasingly sophisticated services and comprehensive management consulting. To enable this Pöyry has defined four key Growth Enablers: Thought Leadership, Large Projects, Way of Working and Marketing & Sales. Internal development programmes to improve the company's execution capabilities in these areas have been launched. In 2010 Pöyry appointed the core team for the Large Project Function and proceeded with the Marketing & Sales programme. The renewed value base "Pöyry Way" was launched and the operational mode and process development has started as part of the Operational Excellence Programme.

The related restructuring costs were estimated to be in the range of EUR 6-10 million On 8 December Pöyry announced decisions to reduce capacity by about 400 persons in accordance with the Operational Excellence Programme. Including the reduction mentioned above, the estimate for the total need for capacity reductions in Finland is 450-500 persons. The improved operational model is expected to be implemented by the end of the second quarter of 2011. These measures will lead to an annual operating profit improvement of about EUR 15 million. At the year-end 2010 about two thirds of the measures that aim at the annual operating profit improvement of about EUR 15 million were completed. The targeted operating profit improvement is expected to be fully achieved by the end of year 2011. Restructuring costs of EUR 7.4 million were recorded in the fourth quarter of 2010. IMPORTANT EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE REPORTING PERIOD In January 2011Pöyry's Industry Business Group was awarded a basic and detailed engineering contract by Eldorado Celulose e Papel Ltda for the Balance of Plant (BOP) of the 1.5 million t/a bleached eucalyptus market pulp mill to be built in Mato Grosso do Sul state, Brazil. The EUR 8.4 million contract is a continuation of the pre-engineering and preparatory work for the mill infrastructure that Pöyry was awarded in early 2010 (see Company Announcements of 31 March, 2010 and 13 January, 2011). Pöyry PLC received on 12 January 2011 a disclosure under Chapter 2, Section 9 of the Securities Market Act, according to which, as a result of share transactions concluded on 11 January 2011, the holdings of Ilmarinen Mutual Pension Insurance Company (business ID 0107638-1), Finland, exceeded 5 percent of Pöyry PLC's shares and votes. According to the disclosure, Ilmarinen Mutual Pension Insurance Company held on 11 January 2011 total of 2,980,389 shares which is 5.02 percent of Pöyry PLC's shares and votes. No other disclosures of changes in holdings were received by the time of the release of this report. On 7 February 2011 Pöyry's Industry business group was awarded an assignment by MWV Rigesa Ltda., Brazil for the expansion of its paperboard mill in Três Barras, Santa Catarina State, Brazil. The assignment consists of contracts for EPC Open Book of the Balance of Plant (BOP) together with the associated EPCM services, and Project Management services for the overall project management support to the client. The total value of Pöyry's contracts is about BRL 325 million (about EUR 144 million) of which a majority consists of the EPC Open Book BOP contract. The contracts have been signed on 7 February 2011. A notice to proceed for the EPC Open book contract is expected to be received during the first quarter of 2011 after which the value will be booked into the order stock. The new machine is expected to be completed in mid-2012. Due to the nature of the contracts, profit recognition will occur towards the latter part of the project. (see Company Announcement of 8 February 2011). In February 2011 the Board of Directors of Pöyry PLC approved a new share-based incentive plan for key personnel of Pöyry. More detailed information about the incentive plan under the Human Resources section of this report and in the Company Announcement of 8 February 2011. MOST SIGNIFICANT RISKS AND BUSINESS UNCERTAINTIES Despite the gradual upturn in the world economy during 2010, there is still a risk of new economic downturn. This can create some continued uncertainty and delays in clients' decision making. The size and complexity of large projects typically require thorough and lengthy development work. There are uncertainties about the availability of financing, the selected implementation concept as well as the timing of investment decisions and project start-ups which all are beyond Pöyry's control. This may have an adverse impact on Pöyry's net sales and profitability. An important part of Pöyry's business comes from municipal and other public sector 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, and particularly impact on the type of services provided by Pöyry's 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 net 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. The most notable risk in this area is the accounts receivables in the Venezuelan infrastructure projects as detailed under section 'Cash flow and financing'. 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. MARKET OUTLOOK 2011 Various leading indicators signal that the world economy is returning to a growth track after the lengthy downturn. However, for example, in Europe there are significant differences in economic prospects between countries. The economic growth has been partly stimulated by increasing industrial production. However, operating rates are only gradually reaching levels which trigger clients to invest in new capacity. In the developed regions of the world economic growth may be considered relatively self-sustained and emerging regions are projected to continue on a dynamic growth track. The positive projections on the future development have led to, for example, increasing prices in commodities and raw materials, which may gradually support improving investment activity. In the energy and the industrial sectors relevant to Pöyry's businesses the long-term fundamentals behind the future demand remain solid. In the industrial sectors demand is increasingly geared to emerging markets. The financial crisis and regulatory uncertainty have prolonged the investment decision processes but the improving economic environment is expected to gradually have a positive impact on the sectors' investment activity. Several global megatrends support transportation and real estate investments in markets where Pöyry has exposure and investment activity in general is expected to continue stable or growing. Within the water supply and sanitation segment public sector investment activity is expected to continue modest in Europe. However, the fundamental need for water sector and environmental expertise is expected to create demand for services within Pöyry's scope. In the transportation area public sector or public-private partnerships investments are expected to continue mid-term. The improving economic environment is expected to increase demand for management consulting services. OUTLOOK FOR THE FIRST HALF OF 2011 Pöyry's businesses are predominantly driven by clients' new capital investments and most of the businesses are also inherently late in the cycle. It is difficult to predict the timing of clients' new investment decisions and project start-ups. Due to these uncertainties Pöyry makes a forecast only for the first half of 2011. The Group net sales for the first half of 2011 are expected to improve from the corresponding period in 2010. The Group's comparable operating profit in the first half of 2011 is expected to improve significantly from the operating profit, excluding restructuring costs, in the corresponding period in 2010, taking into consideration the small numbers in the reference period. Pöyry will update the forecast as soon as more accurate information is available. Outlook by the business group for the first half of 2011: The preconditions for net sales growth are strongest in Energy and Management Consulting business groups. Net sales in the Industry business group are also expected to improve. The net sales in the Urban & Mobility and Water & Environment business groups are expected to remain stable. Operating profit in the Energy, Industry, and Management Consulting business groups is estimated to improve significantly taking into consideration the small numbers in the reference period. The operating profit in the Water & Environment business group is expected to improve, and remain stable in the Urban & Mobility business group. BOARD OF DIRECTORS' PROPOSAL FOR DISPOSAL OF DISTRIBUTABLE FUNDS Pöyry Group's parent company Pöyry PLC's net profit for 2010 was EUR 12,145,936.80 and retained earnings were EUR 89,681,088.17, so the total amount distributable as dividend was EUR 101,827,024.97. The Board of Directors of Pöyry PLC proposes to the Annual General Meeting on 10 March 2011 that a dividend of EUR 0.10 (0.10) per share be paid for the year 2010. The number of outstanding shares is 59,011,650 and the total amount of dividends thus EUR 5,901,165.00. The Board of Directors proposes that the dividend be paid on 22 March 2011. The Auditor's report is dated 7 February 2011. Vantaa, 7 February 2011 Pöyry PLC Board of Directors THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT RELEASE 2010 This financial statement release has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 following the same accounting principles as in the annual financial statement for 2009.

Aggregate figures for the above acquisitions EUR million 2010 2009 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Purchase price Fixed price, paid 11.8 4.2 Earnout estimate 0.5 0.0 Total 12.3 4.2 Price allocation Equity 1.7 0.2 Non-controlling interest 0.0 0.0 Total 1.7 0.2 Remaining 10.6 4.0 Intangible rights Goodwill 0.5 Yhteensä 10.1 10.6 Market leadership, experienced management and staff, and earnings expectations are factors contributing to the amount booked as goodwill. The goodwill value from the acquistion of ETV-Eröterv Zrt in 2010, was especially due to the company's profound knowledge of the Russian nuclear power plants. Initial accounting for ETV-Erötev Zrt, which was acquired during the financial year, has been adjusted at the end of the reporting period. The Company has increased the values of work in progress and project advances recognized earlier as a result of changing the revenue recognition principles applied by the acquiree to correspond with the Groups' revenue recognition principles. Consequently, the value of goodwill increased by EUR 0.9 million. The company has acquired 60 per cent stake in Silviconsult Engenharia Ltda during the financial year. The terms and conditions of the sale and purchase agreement include a call option of the Company and a put option of the non- controlling interest. The put and call options with an exercise date in January 2014, have been treated as a contingent consideration. The acquired business is consolidated 100 per cent. The contingent consideration of the sale and purchase agreement is based on management's estimate of the average operating profit of the business in coming three years. The fair value of contingent consideration is EUR 0.5 million at the end of the reporting period. Non-controlling interest The non-controlling interest is measured at the proportionate interest of the net asset of the acquired company (in 2010 ETV).
