NEOMARKKA´S FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAR 2008 UNPROFITABLE


Neomarkka Plc	STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE FEBRUARY 3, 2009 at 4.40 PM 


NEOMARKKA´S FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAR 2008 UNPROFITABLE 

Neomarkka´s turnover nearly reached EUR 120 million but the fourth quarter and
therefore the year 2008 was unprofitable. The rapid and steep price erosion of
the metals strain the operating profit over EUR 5 million, of which EUR 4
million puts strain on the fourth quarter. The operating profit of the cable
business will remain slightly positive but together with the losses from
investments in securities the operating loss of Neomarkka will approximately be
close to EUR 2 million and the loss for the financial year 2008 will roughly be
close to EUR 5 million. 

The financial statements from year 2008 will be published on February 26, 2009.
