Pöyry - Company Announcement

Pöyry's operating profit for 2010 estimated to decline clearly from 2009

PÖYRY PLC          Company Announcement 14 October 2010 at 9.00 a.m.

Based on current information, the Pöyry Group's operating profit for 2010,
excluding one-time items, is estimated to decline clearly from the comparable
figure in 2009. The Group's net sales for the full year 2010 are expected to
remain stable.

The main reasons behind the reduced outlook are:
- Delays in start-up of awarded major projects
- Delays in final project investment decisions
- Low activity level in certain markets
- Structural overcapacity especially in Finland

More details about the outlook will be issued in Pöyry's January-September
interim report, which will be published on 28 October 2010.

Previous Group level guidance issued on 21 April 2010:
Group sales for the full year 2010 are expected to remain stable or grow from
2009. The Group's operating profit is expected to remain stable compared with
2009 after inclusion of incremental business development expenses necessary to
accelerate growth in line with the Vision.

The outlook and comparison both refer to figures excluding one-time items.
