PRESIDENT AND CEO JUHO NUMMELA: During the third quarter of 2010, the demand for forest machines continued to be steady and good. In spite of the holiday season, the company's order intake developed strongly and at the end of the period under review, the order books totalled EUR 77.4 million (EUR 19.6 million). Of the market areas, Finland, Sweden, Russia and Central Europe maintained a strong flow of incoming orders. North America remains challenging. During the past quarter, the company's net sales increased by 89 percent compared to the corresponding period and amounted to EUR 54.7 (28.9) million. During the period under review, the company's net sales increased by 74 percent. Net sales of the service and information system businesses continued their strong growth. The company's customers had plenty of work even during the holiday season, which affected the growth of net sales in the service business. Operating result for the third quarter was EUR 5.4 (-2.4) million and EUR 15.3 (-15.0) million for the period under review. Operating costs (staff costs, depreciations and other operating expenses) were kept under control during the period under review and only increased by 13 percent. During the period under review, cash flow from business operations was positive at EUR 14.4 (4.4) million. The increase in working capital from the beginning of the period under review is mainly due to an increase in spare parts inventories and current trade receivables. However, the turnover rate of raw materials and consumables has developed quicker than the absolute value of these inventories. The good demand for used machines has kept the stock of used machines at a moderate level. The assembly line of the company's Vieremä factory operated in one shift during the period under review. The new eight-wheeled harvesters have been well received by customers. During the period under review, the eight-wheeled harvesters represented a significant part of all harvesters manufactured. NET SALES Consolidated net sales for the period under review amounted to EUR 171.8 (98.9) million, which is 74 percent more than in the comparison period. International business operations accounted for 68.7 (70.6) percent of total net sales. Net sales were regionally divided as follows: Nordic countries 49.3 (49.2) percent, the rest of Europe 28.3 (28.1) percent, North and South America 20.5 (19.7) percent and other countries 1.9 (3.0) percent. PROFIT PERFORMANCE Operating result was EUR 15.3 (-15.0) million. Operating result equalled 8.9 (-15.2) percent of net sales in the period under review. During the period under review, inventories valued at EUR 0.9 million, related to obsolete product models included in North and South America´s inventories, were recorded as a non-recurring expense. Return on capital employed (ROCE) stood at 20.9 (-13.6) percent. Staff costs for the period under review totalled EUR 26.6 (23.7) million and other operating expenses EUR 18.8 (15.8) million. The net total of financial income and expenses was EUR 1.7 (-0.3) million. Exchange rate gains and losses with a net effect of EUR 2.5 (1.2) million during the period under review were entered under financial items. As a result of the company's approved correction request regarding income taxes, the taxes for the period under review were EUR 1.1 (-1.9) million. Net result for the period under review totalled EUR 17.8 (-17.4) million. Diluted and undiluted earnings per share (EPS) were EUR 0.59 (-0.65). The interim report was adjusted retrospectively in compliance with IAS 8. The interest on a hybrid loan must be taken into account in EPS, irrespective of whether a decision has been taken regarding the distribution of dividends. The key indicators were adjusted for the hybrid loan interest payments, and the indicators are shown under 'Adjustments associated with the accounting treatment of the hybrid loan'. STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES At the end of the period under review, the total of consolidated statements of financial position amounted to EUR 165.5 (148.0) million. Inventories totalled EUR 78.5 (73.8) million. Trade receivables totalled EUR 27.8 (18.9) million and liquid assets stood at EUR 12.1 (10.3) million. Group shareholders' equity amounted to EUR 69.9 (67.8) million, and the parent company's equity was EUR 55.0 (51.2) million. Equity includes the hybrid loan of EUR 19 million issued on 31 March 2009. The interim report was adjusted retrospectively in compliance with IAS 8. The interest on hybrid loans must be recorded directly in equity when the liability to pay interest was created, i.e. in conjunction with the decision regarding the distribution of dividends. Consequently, the retained earnings at the end of 2009 were adjusted by EUR 2.0 million. The interest paid for the hybrid loan and the interest payment liability resulting from the decision to pay dividends, totalling EUR 4.5 million, were entered as a decrease in Group equity. The amount of interest-bearing liabilities was EUR 49.9 (54.2) million. The company has used 30 percent of its credit limits. The parent company's net receivables from other Group companies stood at EUR 66.7 (55.3) million. The parent company's receivables from subsidiaries mainly consisted of trade receivables.

PERSONNEL The Group had an average staff of 813 (882) during the period and it employed 846 (803) people at the end of the period. SHARE PERFORMANCE The company's registered share capital consists of 28,000,000 shares.

At the end of the period, shares closed at EUR 10.87, and market capitalisation totalled EUR 304.4 million. At the end of the reporting period the company held 212,900 treasury shares. ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING A separate release was issued on 31 March 2010 regarding the authorizations given to the Board of Directors and other resolutions at the AGM. GOVERNANCE In its decision-making and administration, the company observes the Finnish Companies Act, other regulations governing publicly listed companies and the company's Articles of Association. The company's Board of Directors has adopted this Code of Governance that complies with the Finnish Corporate Governance Code approved by the Board of the Securities Market Association in 2010. The purpose of the code is to ensure that the company is professionally managed and that its business principles and practices are of a high ethical and professional standard. The Code of Governance is available on Ponsse's website in the Investors section. SHORT-TERM RISKS AND THEIR MANAGEMENT As the utilisation rate of capacity increases, the risk related to the availability of parts and components also increases. The availability of certain types of components has deteriorated, and there are upward pressures in raw material prices. The company seeks to manage these risks through cooperation with business partners. The financial standing of suppliers is regularly and constantly monitored. The company surveys the availability of alternative suppliers to mitigate the potential availability and price risks. The parent company monitors the changes in Group receivables and the associated risk of impairment. The key objective of the company's financial risk management is to manage liquidity, interest and currency risks. The company ensures its liquidity with credit limit facilities agreed with different financial institutions. The company's financial liabilities are guaranteed by covenants. The most important covenant associated with the bank loans taken by the Group is its equity ratio. The terms and conditions of covenants were met at the end of the period under review. The effect of adverse changes in interest rates is minimized by utilizing credits linked to a different reference and by concluding interest swaps. The negative effects of currency rate fluctuations are mitigated by derivative contracts. The changes taking place in the fiscal and customs legislation of countries to which Ponsse exports may hamper the company's export trade or its profitability. OUTLOOK FOR THE FUTURE In 2010, the forest machine markets will improve more than expected from the previous year. Net sales of the service and information system businesses are expected to have strong growth during the last quarter. Factory capacity will be increased during the second half of the year to respond to the growing demand. During the last quarter, the company will start to work in two shifts as it increases its capacity. The recruitment required for increasing capacity will be completed during the last quarter of the year. Net sales for 2010 will be considerably higher than in the previous year. Operating result and cash flow from business operations will both be clearly positive.

ADJUSTMENT ASSOCIATED WITH THE ACCOUNTING TREATMENT OF HYBRID LOANS The interim report was adjusted retrospectively in compliance with IAS 8. In 2009, the Group recorded the interest paid for the hybrid loan as a decrease of equity. The interest on hybrid loans must be recorded directly in equity when the liability to pay interest was created. The liability is created in conjunction with the decision regarding the distribution of dividends. This adjustment affected equity by EUR -2.0 million. The effects on equity reserves are shown on the statement of changes in equity. The interest on a hybrid loan must be taken into account in EPS, irrespective of whether a decision has been taken regarding the distribution of dividends. The company's financial indicators were adjusted for the hybrid loan interest, and the table below shows the effect of the adjustment on the EPS for each of the reported periods.

The same accounting principles were observed for the interim report as for the annual financial statements dated 31 December 2009, with the exception, however, that the following new standards, interpretations and amendments adopted by the EU were introduced from 1 January 2010: IFRS 3 (revised) - Business Combinations; IAS 27 (revised) - Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements; IFRIC 12 - Service Concession Arrangements; IFRIC 15 - Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate; IFRIC 16 - Hedges of a Net Investment in a Foreign Operation; IFRIC 17 - Distributions of Non-cash Assets to Owners; IFRIC 18 - Transfers of Assets from Customers; IFRIC 9 and IAS 39 (amendment) - Reassessment of Embedded Derivatives in Conjunction with Reclassification; IAS 39 (amendment) - Eligible Hedged Items and IFRS 2 (amendment) - Share-Base Payments - Group Cash-settled Share-based Payment Arrangements. These new standards, interpretations and amendments have no impact on the Group's interim report. In April 2009, IASB published improvements to 12 standards as part of its annual improvements programme. The Group has adopted the following most salient improvements from 1 January 2010: IFRS 8 (amendment) - Operating Segments; IAS 17 (amendment) - Leases and IAS 36 (amendment) - Impairment of Assets, but these improvements have no impact on the Group's interim report. The above figures have not been audited. The above figures have been rounded off and may therefore differ from those given in the official financial statements. This communication includes future-oriented statements that are based on the assumptions currently known by the company's management and its current decisions and plans. Although the management believes that the future expectations are well founded, there is no certainty that these expectations will prove to be correct. This is why the results may significantly deviate from the assumptions included in the future-oriented statements as a result of, among other things, changes in the economy, markets, competitive conditions, legislation or currency exchange rates.
