Sanoma Oyj - Company Announcement

Sanoma lowers its full year 2011 outlook

Stock Exchange Release 29/07/2011  9:00

Sanoma lowers its full year 2011 net sales and operating profit excluding non-
recurring items outlook. Sanoma Group's net sales are now expected to be at the
previous year's level and operating profit excluding non-recurring items is
expected to decrease somewhat in 2011. In 2010, operating profit excluding non-
recurring items was EUR 245.4 million. Previously, Sanoma estimated that its net
sales would increase somewhat and its operating profit, excluding non-recurring
items, would improve slightly.

The change in guidance is based on a month later than estimated closing of the
SBS acquisition, investments in the Group's development programmes during the
spring and the weakened outlook of the magazine business in Finland.

Sanoma's net sales and operating profit in 2011 are affected by the development
of advertising and private consumption in the Group's countries of operation.
The current outlook is based on the assumption that the advertising markets in
the Group's main operating countries will grow somewhat in 2011.

Sanoma will provide more details when it publishes its Q2 2011 results on 5
August 2011.
