CORRECTION: Pihlajalinna publishes revised Half Year Financial Report 1 January-
30 June 2016 (6 months)

Pihlajalinna publishes revised Half Year Financial Report 1 Jan-30 Jun 2016 (6
months). There was an error concerning Group income taxes in Pihlajalinna's Half
Year Financial Report 1 January-30 June 2016 published on 17 August 2016. The
correction has a positive effect on the profit attributable to the owners of the
parent.

Income taxes decreased and total comprehensive income improved by EUR 0.7
million in the Half Year Financial Report due to the correction. Earnings per
share increased to 0.19 euros.

Pihlajalinna's outlook for 2016 remains unchanged. Pihlajalinna's consolidated
revenue is expected to exceed EUR 400 million in 2016 and the adjusted EBIT
margin is expected to improve compared to 2015. In the financial year 2015, the
adjusted EBIT margin was 2.1 per cent.

Key changes due to the correction are presented in the table below. The revised
Half Year Financial Report is attached to this release.
