PONSSE'S INTERIM REPORT FOR 1 JANUARY - 30 SEPTEMBER 2008
PONSSE PLC STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE 28 OCTOBER 2008 AT 9:00 A.M. PONSSE'S INTERIM REPORT FOR 1 JANUARY - 30 SEPTEMBER 2008 - Turnover was EUR 216.2 million (Q1-Q3/2007 EUR 214.0 million). - Q3 turnover was EUR 54.8 million (Q3/2007 EUR 64.0 million). - Operating profit was EUR 17.8 (24.0) million and accounted for 8.2 (11.2) per cent of the turnover. - Q3 operating profit was EUR 0.1 million (Q3/2007 EUR 6.4 million). - Profit before taxes was EUR 15.8 (24.1) million. - Earnings per share were EUR 0.38 (0.62). - Order books were valued at EUR 61.0 (80.7) million. PRESIDENT AND CEO JUHO NUMMELA: The demand for forest machines declined during the third quarter in most main market areas except for Finland and Sweden. The global economic situation also delayed machine deliveries to customers in export countries. Turnover remained on par with the comparison period. Operating profit remained below the previous year's level due to machine delivery volumes falling short of targets and an increase in expenses. Order flow decreased from last year. We initiated group-level measures to adjust production volumes and resources to the prevailing and anticipated demand. TURNOVER Consolidated turnover for the period totalled EUR 216.2 (214.0) million. PROFIT PERFORMANCE Operating profit was EUR 17.8 (24.0) million. Operating profit accounted for 8.2 (11.2) per cent of turnover in the period under review. Return on capital employed (ROCE) stood at 19.1 (35.2) per cent. Staff costs for the period under review totalled EUR 35.9 (30.3) million, and other operating expenses EUR 23.8 (21.8) million. Net financial expenses were EUR -2.1 (-0.9) million.

Diluted and basic earnings per share (EPS) were EUR 0.38 (0.62). The company does not have any items that could have a dilutive effect on the earnings per share. BALANCE SHEET AND FINANCIAL POSITION At the end of the period under review, the consolidated balance sheet total amounted to EUR 187.0 (142.5) million. Inventories were clearly higher than last year.

The amount of activated R&D expenses during the period was EUR 906 thousand (EUR 686 thousand). Capital expenditure totalled EUR 6.4 million (EUR 4.3 million). PERSONNEL The Group had an average staff of 1,048 (858) during the period and employed 1,065 (873) people at period-end. SHARE PERFORMANCE The trading volume of Ponsse Plc shares for 1 January - 30 September 2008 totalled 1,638,954, accounting for 5.9 per cent of the total number of shares. Share turnover came to EUR 21.0 million, with the period's lowest and highest share prices amounting to EUR 8.23 and EUR 16.29 respectively. At the end of the period, shares closed at EUR 8.50 and market capitalisation totalled EUR 238.0 million. At the end of the reporting period the company had 47,900 shares in its possession. GOVERNANCE The company adheres to the insider regulations approved by the Helsinki Stock Exchange Board of Directors and the Corporate Governance Recommendation for Listed Companies issued by NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Oy Plc, the Central Chamber of Commerce of Finland and the Confederation of Finnish Industry and Employers. The governance principles are available on Ponsse's website in the Investors section. BUSINESS RISKS AND THEIR MANAGEMENT The uncertain general economic situation and global disturbances in the financial market have weakened both the predictability of the business outlook and the demand for forest machines. The declining economic trend has increased the risks associated with raw material and component availability and with subcontractor and supplier network operation. Ponsse aims to manage and minimise these risks through partnership cooperation. As part of its risk management efforts related to the availability of certain key components, the company has chosen to manufacture these components in-house. A fall in the demand for the company's products could lead to production overcapacity with regard to the market situation and demand. To address the situation, the company will reduce its material flows and adjust production resources to the prevailing market situation. The key objectives of the company's financing risk management include controlling the liquidity, interest and currency risks. Ponsse has ensured its liquidity by means of credit limit agreements with a number of financial institutions. In order to minimise the impact of any adverse changes in interest rates the company uses interest rate swaps and credits tied to different reference rates. Derivative contracts and currency-denominated credits are used to minimise the adverse effect of changes in exchange rates. EVENTS AFTER THE PERIOD UNDER REVIEW On 16.10.2008, Ponsse announced it will start negotiations with personnel under the Act on Co-operation within Undertakings. The purpose is to determine how the company's production capacity and cost structure can be adjusted to the prevailing market situation. OUTLOOK FOR THE FUTURE Disturbances in the global economy and the financial market increased and economic predictability weakened during the third quarter. The uncertain economic outlook will also be reflected in the forest machine market during the rest of the year, increasing its challenges compared with the situation a year ago. The company will continue its efforts to improve the efficiency of its cost management and to release working capital. The company expects the economic situation to improve material availability and reduce pressure for increased material expenses. Although it is typical of the entire industry that machine sales are concentrated at the end of the year in several market areas, the prevailing economic situation is expected to have a dampening effect on sales. Ponsse expects its 2008 turnover and operating profit to remain below the previous year's level.
