Operating profit is expected to be somewhat lower than in the previous year. Due to the capital gain from Ekokem shares, earnings will exceed those for the previous year. - The equity ratio is expected to remain healthy and the financing for 2009 has been secured. GROUP NET SALES AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE Third quarter Lassila & Tikanoja's net sales for the third quarter totalled EUR 151.2 million (EUR 138.6 million), showing an increase of 9.1%. The growth was entirely organic. The operating profit was EUR 17.6 million (EUR 15.5 million), representing 11.6% (11.2%) of net sales. The operating profit excluding non-recurring and imputed items was EUR 16.3 million (EUR 16.9 million). Earnings per share were EUR 0.31 (EUR 0.28). Strong organic growth continued. However, the general increase in costs and the reduction in recycling volumes hampered financial performance in the third quarter. Measures to boost production efficiency continued in order to adapt to increased production costs, and prices were revised. Changes in the fair values of oil derivatives raised operating profit by EUR 1.3 million (EUR -0.5 million). January-September The nine-month net sales increased by 11.4% to EUR 452.9 million (EUR 406.4 million), with corporate acquisitions accounting for 2.0 percentage points of this growth. Operating profit amounted to EUR 50.6 million (EUR 36.7 million), representing 11.2% (9.0%) of net sales. The operating profit excluding non-recurring and imputed items was EUR 36.4 million (EUR 41.0 million). Earnings per share were EUR 0.99 (EUR 0.63). Organic growth outperformed market growth, and new service products were introduced to the market. Operating profit fell due to a rise in the general cost level, particularly in the prices of transport fuels. Similarly, the reduction in recycling volumes and the decreased demand for recovered fuels and biofuels attributable to the mild winter burdened financial performance. Changes in the fair values of oil derivatives decreased operating profit by EUR 0.1 million (EUR 2.1 million). A capital gain of EUR 14.3 million from the sale of Ekokem shares in January increased the operating profit.

NET SALES AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE BY DIVISION Environmental Services July-September The net sales of Environmental Services (waste management, recycling services, L&T Biowatti, environmental products) rose by 8.6% to EUR 73.7 million (EUR 67.9 million). The operating profit was EUR 9.7 million (EUR 9.7 million), and the operating profit excluding non-recurring and imputed items was EUR 9.7 million (EUR 9.9 million). Strong organic growth continued. Prices were revised and measures to boost production efficiency continued. The profitability of recycling services weakened due to smaller transport and processing volumes resulting from the slowdown in construction and to the decrease in the sales prices of recycled raw materials. Construction of added capacity at the Kerava recycling plant proceeded in schedule, and the first stage (recycled timber unit) is expected to be on line early next year. Construction of the second stage (construction waste recycling plant) is about to begin, and the plant is expected to be completed in about a year. L&T Biowatti reached its targets thanks to an increase in the demand for biofuels during the period. However, the rising costs affected its operations, and production limitations in the mechanical forest industry hampered the procurement of byproducts for raw material. The wood pellet plant in Luumäki with an annual capacity of about 20,000 tonnes was introduced at the beginning of October. International operations within Environmental Services expanded, and performance developed favourably. Profitability development was particularly good in Latvia thanks to production efficiency measures and decreased costs. Net sales for environmental products increased considerably and financial performance improved. January-September Environmental Services' net sales for January-September totalled EUR 225.9 million (EUR 205.1 million); an increase of 10.1%. The operating profit was EUR 26.3 million (EUR 26.6 million), and the operating profit excluding non-recurring and imputed items was EUR 26.3 million (EUR 27.8 million). Due to the steep rise in the general cost level and transport fuel prices, prices were revised. Financial uncertainty and particularly the slowdown in construction lowered the amount of intake volumes at recycling plants. Measures to enhance production efficiency were launched to adjust to higher production costs. Construction of substantial added capacity began at the Kerava recycling plant, which will double the plant's capacity to almost 400,000 tonnes by 2010. At the same time, the recovery rate will increase significantly. Due to the reduced capacity of the landfill at the Kerava plant for technical reasons, the costs of disposal of plant reject will increase. The industrial landfill site constructed in Kotka will be opened before the end of the year. The demand for L&T Biowatti's biofuels fell clearly short of the expected level due to the exceptionally mild winter. The mild winter also hampered the collection of forest processed chips and raised subcontracting costs. L&T Biowatti will revise its organisation, expand its service offerings, and invest in its own collecting, processing and transport equipment. The production of wood pellets was launched at the beginning of the final quarter. Business in Russia and Latvia developed as planned. Resources were increased to expand international operations. All units of Lassila & Tikanoja plc's Environmental Services received certificates for quality, environmental management, occupational health and safety. The objective of certification is to improve service and reinforce shared operating procedures. Net sales for environmental products increased and performance development was positive. Property and Office Support Services July-September The net sales of Property and Office Support Services (property maintenance and cleaning services) grew by 8.4% to EUR 56.3 million (EUR 52.0 million). The operating profit was EUR 4.8 million (EUR 4.2 million), and the operating profit excluding non-recurring and imputed items was EUR 4.8 million (EUR 4.6 million). The division's strong organic growth continued, particularly in property maintenance, and additional services sold well in both product lines. Prices were revised. Net sales from international operations increased in Russia and Latvia. The division's performance improved as a result of profit improvement in property maintenance and smaller losses from international operations. Production efficiency improvement measures continued to respond to rising production costs, and the action programme to improve profitability in Sweden proceeded according to plans. January-September The January-September net sales of Property and Office Support Services increased by 13.2% to EUR 169.0 million (EUR 149.3 million). The operating profit was EUR 7.6 million (EUR 7.0 million), and the operating profit excluding non-recurring and imputed items was EUR 7.6 million (EUR 7.4 million). Contract revenue increased, and the sales of additional services in both product lines were successful. Production costs rose and price competition remained intense. Operations were adapted to increased production costs, and prices were revised. New service products were introduced to the market. New products in cleaning services included the L&T® EcoCleaning concept, which received the Nordic Ecolabel, also known as the Swan label, as the first product of the industry in Finland. The concept provides customers the opportunity to carry out concrete environment-friendly actions. The holding in Blue Service Partners was sold to the joint venture partner in the beginning of February. Loss from international operations declined, and operations in Russia and Latvia developed as planned. In Sweden an extensive action programme has been launched to improve profitability. Industrial Services July-September The net sales of Industrial Services (hazardous waste management, industrial solutions, damage repair services and wastewater services) went up by 15.2% to EUR 22.9 million (EUR 19.9 million). The operating profit was EUR 3.7 million (EUR 2.1 million), and the operating profit excluding non-recurring and imputed items EUR 2.4 million (EUR 3.0 million). Net sales increased in all product lines, and prices were revised. Fluctuation in demand continued, which was challenging from the production adjustment perspective. Demand for damage repair service was low in the third quarter. There were several coinciding shutdowns in the industry, which resulted in increased subcontracting. Furthermore, costs associated with the storage of raw materials for the L&T Recoil re-refinery and the starting of operations burdened the financial performance. The completion of the facility will be delayed until next spring because of a design flaw in the piping. Changes in the fair value of oil derivatives raised operating profit by EUR 1.3 million (EUR -0.5 million). New partner agreements were signed in the industrial solutions business. Key priorities in operations included profitability improvement and production adjustment to the forthcoming slower winter season. January-September The January-September net sales of Industrial Services totalled EUR 62.3 million (EUR 55.6 million); an increase of 12.1%. The operating profit was EUR 4.0 million (EUR 4.6 million), and the operating profit excluding non-recurring and imputed items EUR 4.1 million (EUR 7.3 million). Production could not be adapted quickly enough to the rapid fluctuations in the demand for Industrial Services. Earnings were also adversely affected by recycled fuel delivery difficulties early this year. Changes in the fair values of oil derivatives amounted to EUR -0.1 million (EUR -2.1 million). New partner agreements were made in damage repair services, and the service network was expanded. Prices were revised, and profitability improvement measures were initiated in all product lines. FINANCING At the end of the period, interest-bearing liabilities amounted to EUR 10.9 million more than a year earlier. Net interest-bearing liabilities, totalling EUR 117.6 million, increased by EUR 6.5 million from the comparison period and by EUR 31.3 million from the beginning of the year. Net finance costs exceeded those for the comparison period by EUR 0.1 million in the third quarter and by EUR 0.4 million in January-September. Interest expenses increased by EUR 0.2 million in the third quarter and by EUR 0.6 million in January-September as a result of the growth in interest-bearing liabilities and a rise in the interest rate level. An expense of EUR 0.1 million arising from changes in the fair values of interest rate swaps was recognised in the finance costs in the third quarter, equalling to the amount for the comparison period. In January-September, an expense of EUR 0.2 million arising from the change in the fair value of interest rate swaps was recognised this year as well as in the comparison period. Net finance costs were 0.8% (0.8%) of net sales and 6.8% (8.4%) of operating profit. The equity ratio was 44.9% (42.6%) and the gearing rate 57.3 (61.7). Cash flows from operating activities in January-September amounted to EUR 41.8 million (EUR 34.4 million), and EUR 8.5 million (EUR 17.7 million) were tied up in the working capital. The equity ratio is expected to remain healthy, and financing for 2009 has already been secured. DIVIDEND The Annual General Meeting held on 1 April 2008 resolved on a dividend of EUR 0.55 per share. The dividend, totalling EUR 21.3 million, was paid to the shareholders on 11 April 2008. CAPITAL EXPENDITURE Capital expenditure totalled EUR 52.2 million (EUR 77.6 million). Production plants were built and machinery and equipment were purchased and information systems were replaced. In the second quarter the property maintenance services business of Rantakylän Talonhuolto Oy and in the first quarter the cleaning services business of Siivouspalvelu Siivoset Oy and the cleaning services business of Siivousliike Lainio Oy were acquired into Property and Office Support Services. The business of Obawater Oy was acquired into waste water services within Industrial Services. The combined annual net sales of the acquired businesses totalled EUR 0.7 million. PERSONNEL In January-September, the average number of employees converted into full-time equivalents was 8,177 (7,723). At the end of the period, the total number of full-time and part-time employees was 9,625 (9,226). Of them 7,326 (6,989) people worked in Finland and 2,299 (2,237) people in other countries.

SUMMARY OF STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASES PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 7, CHAPTER 2 OF THE SECURITIES MARKETS ACT On 22 January 2008, Lassila & Tikanoja sold its holding in the shares of Ekokem Oy Ab to Ilmarinen Mutual Pension Insurance Company. Lassila & Tikanoja had obtained possession of the shares over a period of several years and they no longer had any connection to the business operations of the company and were, consequently, not essential for them. A tax-exempt capital gain arising from the sale was recognised in the financial statements for the first quarter of the year 2008. The positive effect of the sale on the profit for the period will be EUR 14.2 million. In a release disclosed on 22 July 2008, the company announced that the full-year operating profit excluding non-recurring and imputed items is estimated to be somewhat lower than in the previous year. Previously the company estimated that the full-year financial performance will remain at the same level as in the previous year. On 3 October 2008, the company announced that the waste oil re-refinery of joint venture L&T Recoil Oy will not be completed until next spring, while earlier it was expected to be completed towards the end of this year. Flaws had been detected in the piping design, which postpone the completion with a few months. NEAR-TERM UNCERTAINTIES Although the markets in which L&T primarily operates are not highly cyclical, slowdown in economy may reduce transport and recycling volumes and the number of commissioned assignments. The slowdown in the construction business has already translated into lower volumes of construction waste, and it is highly likely that further slowdown is in the horizon. Planning and implementing work is more difficult because of the rapid fluctuations in the demand for Industrial Services, particularly in forest industry. A further postponement in the starting of L&T Recoil's operations and changes in the fair values of oil derivatives associated with the business may have a substantial effect on the operating profit of Industrial Services. If the next winter is mild, this will have a negative impact on L&T Biowatti's earnings development. Heavier forest industry production restrictions are very likely, which will hamper L&T Biowatti's supply of by-products for raw material. A planned amendment to Latvian waste legislation may have adverse effects on the competition situation for waste management in Riga. PROSPECTS FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR Full-year net sales are expected to increase by approximately 10 per cent. The operating profit excluding non-recurring and imputed items is expected to be somewhat lower than in the previous year. However, due to the capital gain from Ekokem shares, earnings will exceed those for the previous year. In Environmental Services, the slowdown in the construction and forest industries will affect transport and intake volumes. In other respects, the market outlook for Environmental Services is stable. The full-year operating profit excluding non-recurring and imputed items for Environmental Services is expected to be at a slightly lower level than a year ago. The market outlook for Property and Office Support Services will remain stable. However, the competitive environment will remain challenging, and the financial uncertainties may reflect in the number of commissioned assignments. The division's international operations are expected to improve their performance but still remain in the red. The full-year operating profit excluding non-recurring and imputed items from Property and Office Support Services is expected to fall somewhat short of the previous year's level due to higher social costs. Strong fluctuations in the demand for Industrial Services are likely to continue in the final quarter, and production adjustment measures will continue. After the end of the period, a decision has been made to discontinue the division's soil washing services which have been making a loss. As a result, a non-recurring expense amounting to approximately EUR 2.6 million will be recognised for the final quarter. The division's full-year operating profit excluding non-recurring and imputed items will fall short of last year's level. Operations will focus on profitability improvement. Investments will be lower than in the previous year.
