Fiskars - Company Announcement

Change in Fiskars full-year outlook: Sales and operating profit to be below 2013 levels

Fiskars Corporation       Stock Exchange Release    June 3, 2014 at 8.30 EET

Fiskars has updated its full-year outlook as a consequence of market
development in Finland. Throughout May, the retail environment in Finland
declined further and Fiskars sales in Finland were clearly below expectations.
Also, the challenges that affected Fiskars in the first quarter of 2014 have
continued: currencies in several markets have had a negative impact on sales,
softness in the US business has continued, and some availability issues linger
on in Europe. 

Fiskars will take determined action to drive up sales and to adjust its cost
levels during the rest of the year, but based on its May sales it is unlikely
that the company can regain sales lost over the first five months. 

Consequently, full year 2014 net sales and operating profit, excluding
non-recurring items, are now expected to be below 2013 levels. Previously,
Fiskars expected full year net sales to reach 2013 levels and operating profit,
excluding non-recurring items, to be at or slightly below 2013 levels. 

Fiskars will publish its interim report for January-June 2014 on August 1, 2014
around 8:30 EET
