Neste Oil adopts the revised IAS 19 Employee Benefits standard

As of January 1, 2013, Neste Oil Corporation has adopted the revised IAS 19
Employee Benefits standard. As a result, the Group's operating profit and
comparable operating profit for 2012 have increased by EUR 3 million, as the net
interest cost related to employee benefits are now reported under financial
items. The impact on the Group's net profit for 2012 is not material. The
Group's equity in the opening balance for 2012 has been reduced by EUR 9 million
as a result of recognizing actuarial losses in equity. The Group's equity of 31
December 2012 has been reduced by EUR 38 million, comprising a EUR 51 million
increase in actuarial losses and related deferred tax assets of EUR 13 million.
The Group's defined benefit liability has increased to EUR 99 million.

The Group's financial reporting will reflect this change from the Interim Report
for January 1 - March 31, 2013 onwards. Group and segment information for 2012
has been restated in compliance with the requirements of the revised standard
and are presented in the enclosed tables.
