HONKARAKENNE OYJ'S INTERIM REPORT, 1 JANUARY - 30 JUNE 2015

SUMMARY

Profitability improved in the second quarter. Second-quarter net sales saw
year-on-year growth of 1 % compared with the previous year. The operating
result improved, up MEUR 1.9 on the previous year, and amounted to MEUR +0.7
(MEUR -1.2 in 2014). Net sales in the January-June period decreased by 14 %
compared with the previous year. The operating result for January-June was MEUR
-1.0 (-2.5). 

In second quarter net sales in Global Markets increased, the growth was 58 %
compared with the previous year. Net sales saw a year-on-year decline in both
Finland and Russia & CIS. The company's efficiency-boosting measures
contributed to the improvement of profitability. 

April - June 2015

  -- The Honkarakenne Group's net sales for the second quarter amounted to MEUR
     11.8 (MEUR 11.7). Net sales rose by 1 % on the previous year.
  -- The operating result was MEUR 0.7 (MEUR -1.2). 
  -- The result before taxes was MEUR 0.6 (MEUR -1.3).
  -- Earnings per share amounted to EUR 0.12 (EUR -0.22). 

January - June 2015

  -- The Honkarakenne Group's net sales January-June amounted to MEUR 17.6 (MEUR
     20.5). Net sales fell by 14 % on the previous year.

from previous year. The result before non-recurring items and taxes is
estimated to improve due to the development programme initiated by the Group.

corresponding period of the previous year, when it amounted to MEUR 19.6. The
order book refers to orders whose delivery date falls within the next 24

Marko Saarelainen, President and CEO of Honkarakenne Oyj, in connection with
the interim report: "We were in a weak position at the beginning of the second quarter. Our order
book was 11 % lower than in the previous year and the company's profitability,
as measured in terms of our operating margin, was one of the weakest in four
years. Within this starting point, the fact that the second quarter,
consolidated net sales increased compared to the previous year, and our
operating margin was the highest for four years, can be considered an excellent
performance throughout the organization. 

The measures carried out in Finland focused largely on developing sales of
holiday home collections. In the holiday home segment, the company launched the
Lintukoto collection, designed in cooperation with Lauri Tähkä. Interest in
Honka's products remained good in Finland's detached house market. Overall, the
detached house market is at a low level in Finland. 

The market remained challenging in Russia & CIS. Honka's most significant
marketing measure was its 20th anniversary campaign in Russia. Cautious signs
of recovery could be seen in demand situation in Russian towards the end of the
quarter. 

In Global Markets, net sales saw good year-on-year growth. The most significant
growth was achieved in the Far East, North America and project deliveries. In
the second quarter, Honkarakenne made a sale valued at MEUR 3 to Kenya; some of
these houses were already delivered during the review period. 

Profitability improved during the second quarter. The operating result was MEUR
1.9 higher than the previous year's corresponding period. The major factor
behind the improvement was the Group's cost efficiency-boosting measures.
Improved material utilization and lower fixed costs were reflected in
profitability.” 

NET SALES

The Group's second-quarter net sales in 2015 increased by one per cent to MEUR
11.8 (MEUR 11.7). In January-June net sales were MEUR 17.6 (MEUR 20.5), down 14
% on the corresponding period of previous year.

and Lithuania. It includes also Process waste sales for recycling. 

Russia & CIS includes the following countries: Russia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan,
Ukraine and other CIS countries. 

Global Markets includes other countries than above-mentioned.

The Group's order book stood at MEUR 17.3 at the end of June. In the previous
year at the same time period it was MEUR 19.6. 

TRENDS IN PROFIT AND PROFITABILITY

The operating loss for the January-June period was MEUR -1.0 (MEUR -2.5) and
the result before taxes was MEUR -1.4 (MEUR -2.6). 

The major factor behind the improvement in operating result was the Group's
cost efficiency-boosting measures, which improved both sales margins and
lowered fixed costs. 

FINANCING AND INVESTMENTS

The financial position of the Group remained satisfactory during the repot
period. The equity ratio stood at 31 % (35 %) and net financial liabilities at
MEUR 8.8 (MEUR 6.6). MEUR 2.2 (MEUR 1.9) of the financial liabilities carries a
30 % equity ratio covenant term. Group liquid assets totalled MEUR 0.9 (MEUR
1.2). The Group also has a MEUR 7.8 (MEUR 8.0) bank overdraft facility, MEUR
4.4 of which had been drawn on at the end of the report period (MEUR 2.2).
Gearing stood at 110 % (74 %). 

The Group's capital expenditure on fixed assets totalled MEUR 0.0 (MEUR 1.0).

MARKET DEVELOPMENT

The RTS expect that the construction of 6,500 detached homes will be begun this
year in Finland. According to a report commissioned by RTS Oy, the Finnish log
house production is expected to decline by 7 % compared to the previous year. 

PRODUCTS AND MARKETING

In Finland & Baltics, we focused largely on developing sales of holiday home
collections in Finland. In particular, we emphasised the efficient use of floor
space in our collections, bolstering the image of Honka as a company that
provides customers with value for money. In addition, we launched the Lintukoto
collection, developed in cooperation with Lauri Tähkä. 

Interest for Honka houses remained good in the detached house market. Healthy
construction is clearly a rising trend and customers increasingly value healthy
living. 

In Russia & CIS, we continued to work on area development projects.  The main
marketing measure was our campaign to celebrate Honka's 20th year in Russia.
Honka's long presence in the Russian market has clearly helped the company in
the challenging market situation.  In addition, cautious signs of recovery in
demand were evident towards the end of the second quarter. 

In Global Markets, the major action was a project sale to Kenya, valued at MEUR
3. The sale comprises 47 log houses for delivery to Kenya in June-November. Net
sales in North America and the Far East were better compared with the previous
year. The first house deliveries to China were erected in the second quarter.
These references and model houses will improve Honka's sales opportunities
substantially in China. 

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

As in previous quarters, the main focus in R&D was on the development of
products for the detached house market, especially healthy components, and
accounting for the special features of the Chinese market. 

In the January-June period, the Group's R&D expenditure totalled MEUR 0.2 (MEUR
0.3), representing 1.0 % of net sales (1.5 %). The Group did not capitalise any
development expenditure during the report period. 

STAFF
The Group had an average of 142 (165) employees during the second quarter,
representing a year-on-year decrease of 23. 

On the basis of the negotiations under the act on co-operation within
undertakings that were concluded in December 2014, the company is authorised to
temporarily lay off clerical and managerial employees for a maximum of 90 days
until the end of December 2015. On the basis of the negotiations concluded in
February 2015, the company can temporarily lay off workers for 90 days until
the end of September 2015. 

CHANGE IN MANAGEMENT

President and CEO Mikko Kilpeläinen was relieved of his duties at the end of
March. The company's CFO Mikko Jaskari was the acting President and CEO. Marko
Saarelainen was appointed as Honkarakenne's President and CEO at the end of the
second quarter. Marko Saarelainen has served as the managing director of
Honka's subsidiary Honka Japan for almost 20 years. 

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

In the second quarter of 2013, the Board of Directors decided on a long-term
share-based incentive plan for members of the Executive Group. The performance
period of the new plan began on 1 January 2013 and will end on 31 December
2016. The potential reward for the performance period is based on the
cumulative earnings per share (EPS) for 2013 - 2016 and on the average return
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. 

During the first half of the year the amount of allocated shares decreased by
10,928 (+6,250) shares. These allocated shares are recognized as follows: -17
(17) thousand euros employee benefit expenses, -2 (1) thousand euros in taxes
and in deferred tax assets and -17 (10) thousand euros directly in retained
earnings.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Honkarakenne Oyj follows the Limited Liability Companies Act and the Finnish
Corporate Governance Code, 1 October 2010, 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 Ukrainian
crisis, the trend in the price of oil and strong exchange rate fluctuations
currently cause instability in the Russian market. This might have major
impacts on Honkarakenne's operations. 

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. 

It is currently more difficult to acquire funding from the financial markets.

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 interim report has been drafted in accordance with IAS 34. The principles
adhered to in preparing the annual financial statements also apply to this
interim report. The interim report should be read together with the annual
financial statements for 2014. The new revised standards or interpretations
effective as of 1 January 2015 have no bearing on the figures presented for the
report period. The figures have not been examined by the auditor. 

THE OUTLOOK FOR 2015

Honkarakenne reiterates its previous view that net sales may decline in 2015
from previous year. The result before non-recurring items and taxes is
estimated to improve due to the development programme initiated by the Group.

NOTES TO THE REPORT

Accounting policies

This interim report has been drafted in accordance with IAS 34. The principles
adhered to in preparing the annual financial statements also apply to this
interim report. The interim report should be read together with the annual
financial statements for 2014. The new revised standards or interpretations
effective as of 1 January 2015 have no bearing on the figures presented for the
report period. The figures have not been examined by the auditor. 

Honka Management Oy, which was established in 2010 and owned by the senior
management of Honkarakenne Oyj, is included in the consolidated financial
statements due to the terms and conditions of the shareholder agreement
concluded between it and Honkarakenne Oyj. 

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.
