- Earnings per share in the second quarter were increased by EUR 0.09 due to

CEO PEKKA OJANPÄÄ:
“The result for the first half of 2016 was in line with expectations in spite
of the business environment remaining challenging, particularly with regard to
the demand for, and prices of, recyclable raw materials. Net sales saw organic
growth in Facility Services and Industrial Services. Net sales also grew due to
strategically targeted acquisitions in Environmental Services and Facility
Services. The company’s profitability remained at a good level considering the
market situation due to previously implemented efficiency improvement measures.
In line with our strategy, our focus in the prevailing market climate is on
strengthening our market position and ensuring profitability and cash flow.”
GROUP NET SALES AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
April - June
Lassila & Tikanoja’s net sales for the second quarter increased by 1.6% to EUR
166.9 million (EUR 164.2 million). Operating profit totalled EUR 14.1 million
(EUR 14.4 million). Earnings per share were EUR 0.38 (EUR 0.28).
In the second quarter, net sales grew by 3.9% in Facility Services. Net sales
grew both organically and due to acquisitions. Net sales grew by 2.5% in
Environmental Services due to previous acquisitions. The net sales of
Industrial Services grew by 0.3% and were on a par with the comparison period.
The net sales of the Renewable Energy Sources division declined by 22.6% due to
the weak demand for energy wood.
Profitability improved significantly in Facility Services. The operating profit
of the Environmental Services and Industrial Services divisions was lower than
in the comparison period. The operating profit of Renewable Energy Sources
declined substantially.
The Group’s earnings per share was favourably affected by a legally valid
decision handed down by the Administrative Court, according to which the
payment of approximately EUR 16.7 million made by the company in 2014 under the
L&T Recoil Oy guarantee commitment is tax-deductible. In previous financial
reports, the company has treated the payment as a non-tax deductible item due
to its tax deductibility not being confirmed. The decision had a favourable
impact of EUR 0.09 on earnings per share.
January - June
Lassila & Tikanoja’s net sales for January - June increased by 1.9% to EUR
327.5 million (EUR 321.5 million). Operating profit was EUR 20.9 million (EUR
20.9 million), representing 6.4% (6.5%) of net sales. Earnings per share were
EUR 0.52 (EUR 0.42).
During the first half of the year, net sales grew by 3.2% in Industrial
Services, 3.1% in Facility Services and 2.0% Environmental Services. The net
sales of the Renewable Energy Sources division declined by 10.0% year-on-year
due to low demand.
Profitability improved particularly in Facility Services. The operating profit
of the Environmental Services and Industrial Services divisions was lower than
in the comparison period. The operating profit of Renewable Energy Sources
declined substantially.
Impact of new guidance from the European Securities and Markets Authority
The new guidance issued by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA)
regarding Alternative Performance Measures entered into effect on 3 July 2016.
Lassila & Tikanoja presents Alternative Performance Measures in addition to
IFRS performance measures in order to illustrate the financial performance of
its business operations and to improve comparability between reporting periods.
Alternative Performance Measures should not be considered to be replacements
for the performance measures defined in the IFRS standards. The new guidance on
Alternative Performance Measures has no impact on the company’s reporting of
performance measures.
The Alternative Performance Measures reported by the company are EVA and cash
flow from operating activities per share. The calculation formulas for the
performance measures are presented at the end of the half-year report.

NET SALES AND OPERATING PROFIT BY DIVISION
Environmental Services
Second quarter
The division’s net sales for the second quarter increased by 2.5% to EUR 68.2
million (EUR 66.5 million). The increase in net sales was attributable to
acquisitions. Operating profit totalled EUR 9.2 million (EUR 10.8 million).

the lower volume of recyclable materials at recycling plants and the continued
low market prices of secondary raw materials.
January - June

increased by 2.0% to EUR 130.0 million (EUR 127.5 million). Operating profit
totalled EUR 14.6 million (EUR 17.3 million).
Previously completed acquisitions and stronger demand for services in the
construction sector contributed to increased net sales in the recycling

3.2% to EUR 36.8 million (EUR 35.7 million).Operating profit totalled EUR 1.8

down by 22.6% to EUR 7.0 million (EUR 9.1 million). Operating profit was EUR

by EUR 52 million in advance
payments of employment pension contributions. Unlike in the previous year, in

the payments were made
in four instalments. The change in the payment schedule will have no effect on
the full-year cash flow.

million). A total of EUR 27.2 million in working capital was committed (EUR 1.0
million released), with approximately EUR 23 million of this amount being
related to the change in the payment schedule of employment pension
contributions.

million (EUR 101.1 million).

EVENTS AFTER THE REVIEW PERIOD
The company management is not aware of any events of material importance that

Services and Industrial Services.
Low prices for fossil fuels may affect the demand of the recovered and
renewable fuels produced by the company.
The company is preparing to deploy new ERP and financial management systems in
late 2016 and early 2017. The deployment of the new systems may lead to
temporary overlapping costs arising from changes in the operating model, which
can have a negative effect on the company’s result.
More detailed information on L&T’s risks and risk management is available in
the 2015 Annual Report, and in the Report of the Board of Directors and the
consolidated financial statements.
OUTLOOK FOR THE YEAR 2016
