Wärtsilä estimates net sales and profitability for 2016 to be lower than
previously expected

Wärtsilä revises its sales and profitability guidance for 2016, due to lower
than anticipated power plant deliveries in the current year. Wärtsilä now
expects its net sales to decline by around 5% and its profitability (comparable
operating result as a percent of net sales) to be around 12%. Based on delivery
schedules, sales and profitability is expected to be concentrated towards the
fourth quarter.

Previously Wärtsilä expected its net sales to grow by 0-5% and its profitability
to be 12.5-13.0%.

Wärtsilä's Interim Report January-September 2016 will be published on 25 October
2016 at 8.30 a.m. Finnish time.
