Metso Oyj - Company Announcement

Metso's nonrecurring expenses related to the adjustment measures

Metso Corporation's stock exchange release on April 21, 2009 at 2.15
p.m.

Metso has made decisions on adjustment measures in many of its units
during the early part of the year. In the first quarter, Metso plans
to recognize in its operating profit about EUR 22 million of
nonrecurring expenses related to these adjustment measures. Almost
EUR 17 million of the expenses relate to Paper and Fiber Technology,
close to EUR 2 million to Energy and Environmental Technology and
close to EUR 4 million to Mining and Construction Technology. The
nonrecurring expenses derive mainly from the permanent personnel
reductions of about 1,800 employees and closure of units, decisions
that Metso had taken in its various units since the beginning of this
year. About one-half of the personnel reductions involve Metso
operations in Finland.

With these measures Metso estimates to achieve annual savings of
about EUR 90 million, of which about EUR 40 million is estimated to
be realized in 2009. In addition, Metso estimates that the savings
from the temporary layoffs implemented in Finland this year will
amount to about EUR 25-30 million.

Metso's Interim Review for January - March 2009 will be published on
Tuesday April 28, 2009 at about 12:00 p.m. Finnish time/EEST (10:00
a.m. BST, 11:00 a.m. CEST).

Metso is a global supplier of sustainable technology and services for
mining, construction, power generation, automation, recycling and the
pulp and paper industries. We have over 29,000 employees in more than
50 countries. www.metso.com
