Marko Saarelainen, President and CEO of Honkarakenne Oyj, in connection with
the financial statement release: 

“In the last quarter, sales in Finland declined, but sales in Russia saw a
year-on-year increase. In addition, the sales trend was positive in Global
Markets in the last months of the year. On the whole, net sales in the fourth
quarter grew compared with the previous year, and at the end of the review
period the order book was also at a higher level than in 2015. 

In the last quarter, Honkarakenne continued to make outlays on renewal and
training its dealer network: new dealers came on board and we organised product
and marketing training for dealers in Europe and Russia. 

For both the Finnish and export markets, Honkarakenne unveiled healthy care and
school concepts which take the special requirements of public construction into
consideration. Healthy House development continued. At the end of 2016, VTT
granted Honkarakenne the right to give a Healthy House certificate to a larger
delivery package that also includes construction partly done by the customer. 

Compared to 2015, the full-year adjusted operating result was negatively
impacted by decline in net sales while efficiency-boosting measures had a
positive effect. The adjusted result before taxes was also positively impacted
by lower financial expenses compared to the previous year.”

Honkarakenne Group’s net sales for the year 2016 decreased by 8 per cent to
MEUR 36.1 (MEUR 39.1). The Group’s last-quarter net sales in 2016 increased by

TRENDS IN PROFIT AND PROFITABILITY

The operating loss for the year 2016 was MEUR -0.8 (MEUR -1.1) and the result

year 2016 was MEUR -0.4 (MEUR -0.2) and the adjusted result before taxes was
MEUR -0.8 (MEUR -0.9). The adjustment items were MEUR 0.4 and they included
costs related to the efficiency-boosting programme kicked off in May and costs
related to the Sistema Finance S.A.’s voluntary public tender offer (costs
classified as adjustment items amounted to MEUR 0.8 in the previous year). 

Compared to 2015, the full-year adjusted operating result was negatively
impacted by decline in net sales while efficiency-boosting measures had a
positive effect. The adjusted result before taxes was also positively impacted
by lower financial expenses compared to the previous year.” 

FINANCING AND INVESTMENTS

The financial position of the Group was satisfactory at the end of the report
period. The equity ratio stood at 41 % (37 %) and net financial liabilities at
MEUR 5.0 (MEUR 6.5). In December 2016 the company and its financiers negotiated
new financing resolutions for year 2017. Some of the new financing resolutions
include covenants relating to EBITDA. MEUR 2.5 of financial liabilities carries
EBITDA covenant terms and MEUR 1.3 (MEUR 1.9) of them carried already before 30
per cent equity ratio covenant term. 

As part of Honkarakenne’s financial arrangements Honkarakenne’s main owner
Saarelainen Oy granted in November Honkarakenne an unsecured junior loan
amounting MEUR 0.3. The junior loan is subordinated to bank loans. 

Group liquid assets totalled MEUR 0.4 (MEUR 1.1). The Group also has a MEUR 5.4
(MEUR 7.8) bank overdraft facility, MEUR 1.2 of which had been drawn on at the
end of the report period (MEUR 2.5). Gearing stood at 75 % (81 %). 

The Group’s capital expenditure on fixed assets totalled MEUR 0.1 (MEUR 0.1) in
year 2016. 

PRODUCTS AND MARKETING

In Finland & Baltics, the company made outlays on regional marketing, with more
house exhibitions and events at sales offices, and regional sales campaigns
were carried out. During the last quarter, the company renewed brand strategy.
In the last quarter of the year sales in Finland declined, but detached house
sales figures remained good. 

In Russia & CIS, the trend in sales was positive in the last months of the
year. During the fourth quarter, the company organised product training for the
staff of its Russian importer. Although sales in Russia improved towards the
end of 2016, cumulative full-year net sales were down 15% on the previous year.
It is expected that the Russian market situation will remain difficult. 

In Global Markets, the company continued to develop its dealer network and the
reorganisation of its sales. For instance, the European functions will be
reorganised. Performance in German-speaking Europe and in international
projects fell significantly short of the previous year in terms of both sales
and net sales. 

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Research and development focused especially on solutions for healthy public
construction and modern architecture. For both the Finnish and export markets,
Honkarakenne unveiled healthy care and school concepts which take the special
requirements of public construction into consideration. Healthy House
development continued. At the end of 2016, VTT granted Honkarakenne the right
to give a Healthy House certificate to a larger delivery package that also
includes construction partly done by the customer. 

In the January–December period, the Group's R&D expenditure totalled MEUR 0.3
(MEUR 0.4), representing 0.8 % of net sales (0.9 %). The Group did not
capitalise any development expenditure during the financial year.

In terms of person years, the Group employed a total of 110 (115) people in
average in 2016, representing a year-on-year decrease of 5. In 2016 the Group
employed 136 (139) people on average. At the end of the year, the Group
employed 132 (134) people. 

In May-June, the Group conducted negotiations under the act on co-operation
within undertakings and as a result Honkarakenne can lay-off clerical and
managerial employees temporarily maximum 90 days and blue-collar workers will

2017 for white-collars and until 31 May 2017 for blue-collar workers.

another company’s employ. Mikko Jaskari’s employment relationship ended on 31
July 2016. Erja Heiskanen, Honkarakenne’s Vice President – Operations, left the

of the efficiency-boosting programme.

on capital employed (ROCE) for 2013 - 2016. Any rewards for the performance
period 2013 - 2016 will be paid partly as B shares and partly in cash in 2017.
The rewards to be paid on the basis of the performance period will correspond
to a total maximum of about 340,000 B shares, including the amount to be paid
in cash. 

The performance period of the share-based incentive plan concluded at the end
of 2016 and no rewards will be paid under the plan; the payouts had already
been assessed as zero a year ago.

end of the report period, the Group held 364,385 of its Honkarakenne B shares
with a total purchase price of EUR 1,381,750.23. These shares represent 6.99 %

assets included in the company’s unrestricted equity. In addition, the AGM
authorised the Board to decide on a rights issue or bonus issue and on granting
special rights to shares referred to in Section 1 of Chapter 10 of the Limited

authorisation, the Board may issue a maximum total of 1,500,000 new shares
and/or relinquish old B shares held by the company, including those shares that
can be issued by virtue of special rights. Both authorisations will remain in

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Honkarakenne Oyj follows the Limited Liability Companies Act and the Finnish
Corporate Governance Code 2015 (effective from 1 Jan 2016) for listed companies
issued by the Finnish Securities Market Association. The company’s website,
www.honka.com, provides more information on the corporate governance systems. 

FORTHCOMING RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Russia is one of Honkarakenne’s major business territories. The sanctions
connected to the Ukrainian crisis and strong exchange rate fluctuations
currently cause instability in the Russian market. This might have major
impacts on Honkarakenne’s operations. 

In December 2016 the company and its financiers negotiated new financing
resolutions for year 2017. Some of the new financing resolutions include
covenants relating to EBITDA. MEUR 2.5 of financial liabilities carries EBITDA
covenant terms and MEUR 1.3 (MEUR 1.9) of them carried already before 30 per
cent equity ratio covenant term. If the company's sales do not develop well
enough, it is possible that the terms of the covenants will be broken during
the next year. 

The assessment of amounts in the balance sheet is based on current assessment
by the management. If these assessments are changed, this may result in changes
to the Group's result. 

In the financial statements, the deferred tax assets in the balance sheet
include an item of MEUR 1.5 related to unused tax losses, of which MEUR 0.5
will expire in 2019 and MEUR 0.7 in 2021-2025. In Honkarakenne’s opinion, these
deferred tax assets recognised in the balance sheet can be utilised by using
the company’s estimated taxable income, which is based on Honkarakenne’s
business plans, including the current efficiency-boosting programme. If
earnings do not develop as expected in the long term, it is possible that the
tax assets might not be utilised in time and must be impaired. The company did
not recognise new deferred tax assets in the balance sheet in 2016. 

REPORTING

This report contains statements that relate to the future, and these statements
are based on hypotheses that the company's management hold currently as well as
on the decisions and plans that are currently in place. Although the management
believes that the hypotheses relating to the future are well-founded, there is
no guarantee that the said hypotheses will prove to be correct. 

This financial statement release has been drafted in accordance with IAS 34.
The principles adhered to in preparing the annual financial statements 2015
also apply to this financial statement release but new and amended IFRS
standards and interpretations effective in 2016 have been applied. Amended
standards and interpretations effective from the beginning of year 2016 have no
bearing on the figures presented for the report period. 

As from half year financial report, Honkarakenne complies with the Guidelines
on Alternative Performance Measures (APM) issued by the European Securities and
Markets Authority (ESMA).  An APM is a financial measure of performance other
than a financial measure defined or specified in IFRS. For this reason, the
term “adjusted” is used instead of previous term “without non-recurring items”.
As adjustment items, the company classifies significant business transactions
that are considered to affect comparisons between different reporting periods.
Such transactions include significant reorganisation expenses, impairment
losses or reversals thereof, and capital gains and losses on assets or other
significant income or costs of unusual business operations. When calculating
the adjusted operating result and the adjusted result before taxes costs
related to the Sistema Finance S.A.’s voluntary public tender offer has been
included in adjustment items due to their exceptional character. 

The figures have not been examined by the auditor.

EVENTS AFTER THE REVIEW PERIOD

tender offer in cash for all shares in Honkarakenne Oyj on 20 January 2017 and

announcement, 192,866 Series B shares were tendered in the offer, representing

complete the tender offer in accordance with its terms and conditions, as it
was contingent on the acquisition of at least 67 per cent or more of the Series
A and Shares B shares in Honka.

standards and interpretations effective in 2016 have been applied. Amended
standards and interpretations effective from the beginning of year 2016 have no
bearing on the figures presented for the report period. 

As from half year financial report, Honkarakenne complies with the Guidelines
on Alternative Performance Measures (APM) issued by the European Securities and
Markets Authority (ESMA).  An APM is a financial measure of performance other
than a financial measure defined or specified in IFRS. For this reason, the
term “adjusted” is used instead of previous term “without non-recurring items”.
As adjustment items, the company classifies significant business transactions
that are considered to affect comparisons between different reporting periods.
Such transactions include significant reorganisation expenses, impairment
losses or reversals thereof, and capital gains and losses on assets or other
significant income or costs of unusual business operations. 

The figures have not been examined by the auditor.

Honkarakenne has three geographical operating segments that have been combined
into one segment for reporting purposes. Geographically, sales are divided as
follows: Finland & Baltics, Russia & CIS and Global Markets. The internal
reporting of the management is in line with IFRS reporting. For this reason,
separate reconciliations are not presented.
