Honkarakenne's consolidated net profit to remain below last year's level

Honkarakenne Oyj Stock Exchange Release 27 October 2009 at 18.00 hours          
Honkarakenne's consolidated net profit to remain below last year's level        


Preliminary data indicate that the company's net profit for the third quarter of
the year will be smaller than forecast especially due to non-recurring items.   
The orderbook for the last quarter of the year has not developed as expected    
and, furthermore, an unexpectedly significant volume of orders has been         
transferred to the 2010 financial year. Consequently, the consolidated profit   
figure for the current year will be weaker than in 2008.                        


Honkarakenne Oyj
