Alma Media estimated in October 2009 that the comparable operating profit for the last quarter will approach the level of the period for comparison. The company repeats its estimate that the full year's comparable net sales and operating profit will be lower than in 2008. The more favourable operating profit development is based on the better than estimated advertising sales in some of Alma Media's largest newspapers in November. Also the estimates regarding the December advertising sales have improved.
