Neste Oil updates the way its comparable operating profit is calculated

Neste Oil has updated the method used to calculate its comparable operating
profit to provide a better reflection of operational performance in its Oil
Products business, by switching from a monthly average pricing method to a daily
based pricing method when adjusting calculated inventory gains and losses. The
update has been driven by the increasing volatility of the oil market in recent
years, which has made the intra month timing of feedstock purchases more
important. The update is also in line with development of the company's internal
processes. The comparable operating profit calculation used by Renewable Fuels
is already based on this methodology. The definition and calculation formula of
comparable operating profit will remain unchanged from those presented in the
Financial Statements of Neste Oil. This update does not have any impact on
reported IFRS results. The reconciliation of the Group's segment results for
2011 is attached to this release.

The updated comparable operating profit calculation method will be applied in
Neste Oil's first-quarter results for 2012, to be published on Thursday, 26
April 2012.
