HONKARAKENNE OYJ   HALF YEAR FINANCIAL REPORT   4 August 2016 at 9:00 a.m.

HONKARAKENNE OYJ’S HALF YEAR FINANCIAL REPORT, 1 JANUARY – 30 JUNE 2016

SUMMARY

Second-quarter net sales decreased by 16 % year-on-year. The adjusted operating

items”.

Marko Saarelainen, President and CEO of Honkarakenne Oyj, in connection with
the half year financial report: 

“After the difficult first quarter, the sales trend in Finland has been
favourable. Turbulence in the Russian market is continuing and the trend in net
sales and profitability has been negative. In Global Markets, the sales trend
has been weak due to the scarcity of project sales. The Group’s net sales fell
short of the previous year.  At the end of the review period, the order book
was at a higher level that in the previous year. 

Outlays on marketing and collections in Finland started to have a positive
impact in the review period now ended. Honkarakenne has benefited from the
recovery of the Finnish market. 

We have expanded our sales strength and we will continue the development of
distribution networks, as well as invest in project sales in all markets.” 

NET SALES

The Group’s second quarter net sales in 2016 decreased by 16 % to MEUR 9.9
(MEUR 11.8). In January-June net sales were MEUR 14.5 (MEUR 17.6), down 18 % on
the corresponding period of the previous year.

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

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

Global Markets includes other countries than above-mentioned and CIS country

The Group’s order book stood at MEUR 17.4 at the end of June. In the previous
year at the same time period it was MEUR 17.3. 

TRENDS IN PROFIT AND PROFITABILITY

The adjusted operating loss for the January-June period was MEUR -1.9 (MEUR
-0.5), the operating loss was MEUR -2.1 (MEUR -1.0) and the result before taxes
was MEUR -2.5 (MEUR -1.4). Adjustment items include MEUR 0.2 in costs related
to the efficiency-boosting programme kicked off in May (adjustment items were
MEUR 0.5 over the same period of the previous year). 

The development of the operating result was negatively impacted by the
year-on-year decline in net sales. 

FINANCING AND INVESTMENTS

The financial position of the Group remained satisfactory during the repot
period. The equity ratio stood at 31 % (31 %) and net financial liabilities at
MEUR 4.9 (MEUR 8.8). MEUR 1.2 (MEUR 2.2) of the financial liabilities carries a
30 % equity ratio covenant term. Group liquid assets totalled MEUR 0.4 (MEUR
0.9). The Group also has a MEUR 7.8 (MEUR 7.8) bank overdraft facility, MEUR
1.1 of which had been drawn on at the end of the report period (MEUR 4.4).
Gearing stood at 86 % (110 %). 

The Group’s capital expenditure on fixed assets totalled MEUR 0.1 (MEUR 0.0).

In April Honkarakenne sold the Alajärvi factory property, inclusive of
movables, to the City of Alajärvi at a price of MEUR 0.95. The Alajärvi factory
property was categorised under non-current assets held for sale, and the
transaction has no earnings impact on the result for 2016. 

PRODUCTS AND MARKETING

In Finland & Baltics, sales development was positive. High quality, design,
healthiness and a low carbon footprint are strong selling points for
Honkarakenne. At this year’s housing fair in Seinäjoki, which is currently
ongoing, Honkarakenne’s showcase house and the collection created around it
were designed by SAFA Anssi Lassila, who has won a Finlandia Prize in
architecture. 

In Russia & CIS, the uncertainty surrounding the Russian economic situation is
evident in Honkarakenne’s result for the first half of the year. Based on the
first months of the year, 2016 will be a difficult year in Russian market. To
bolster net sales, Honkarakenne will focus on expanding its product range and
large-scale projects. 

In Global Markets, the company is seeking sales growth in Central Europe, Asia
and other international projects. International sales network and support
functions are the primary development focuses. 

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

In the January–June period, the Group's R&D expenditure totalled MEUR 0.2 (MEUR
0.2), representing 1.1 % of net sales (1.0 %). The Group did not capitalise any
development expenditure during the report period. 

PERSONNEL
During the first half of the year, the Group employed a total of 109 (110)
employees on average in terms of person-years. The Group had an average of 138
(143) employees during the first half of the year, representing a year-on-year
decrease of 5. 

In November 2015, the Group conducted negotiations under the act on
co-operation within undertakings that resulted in temporary lay-offs of maximum
90 days for all clerical and managerial employees in Finland until the end of
May 2016. In August–September 2015, the Group also conducted negotiations under
the act on co-operation within undertakings that resulted in temporary lay-offs
of maximum 90 days for all production employees in Finland until the end of May
2016. 

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
work under reduced working hours. The lay-off plan is effective until 31 March
2017 for white-collars and until 31 May 2017 for blue-collar workers. 

CHANGE IN MANAGEMENT

Honkarakenne’s CFO Mikko Jaskari announced that he will transfer into another
company’s employ. Mikko Jaskari’s employment relationship ended after the
review period on 31 July 2016. Erja Heiskanen, Honkarakenne’s Vice President –
Operations, left the company at the end of June due to the organisational
reform carried out as part of the efficiency-boosting programme. 

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. 

At the end of 2015, payouts from the share scheme were assessed as zero for the
entire performance period 2013- 2016, and any amounts previously recognised for
the scheme were cancelled. 

HONKARAKENNE OYJ’S 2016 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING, BOARD OF DIRECTORS, AND AUDITORS

The Annual General Meeting of Honkarakenne Oyj was held at the company’s
headquarters in Tuusula on 15 April 2016. The AGM approved the parent company's
and the consolidated Financial Statements, and discharged the members of the
Board of Directors and the CEO from liability for 2015. The AGM decided not to
pay a dividend for the 2015 financial year. 

Kati Rauhaniemi, Anita Saarelainen, Jukka Saarelainen, Mauri Saarelainen and
Arto Tiitinen were re-elected to the company's Board of Directors. Rainer
Häggblom was elected as a new member. At the Board's constituent meeting, Arto
Tiitinen was elected Chairman of the Board and Mauri Saarelainen was elected as
Deputy Chairman. At the same meeting, the Board decided to establish a
Nomination and Remuneration Committee. The following directors were elected as
members of the committee: Arto Tiitinen (as Chairman of the Committee), Anita
Saarelainen and Mauri Saarelainen. 

PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy, member of the Finnish Institute of Authorised Public
Accountants, was re-appointed as auditor of the company, with Maria Grönroos,
APA, as chief auditor. 

OWN SHARES AND AUTHORISATIONS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Honkarakenne has not acquired its own shares during the report period. At the
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 %
of the company's all shares and 3.34 % of all votes. The purchase cost has been
deducted from shareholders' equity in the consolidated financial statements. 

On 15 April 2016, the AGM decided that the Board of Directors will be
authorised to acquire a maximum of 400,000 of the company’s own B shares with
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
Liability Companies Act in one or more instalments. By virtue of the
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
force until the next Annual General Meeting, however expiring at the latest on
June 30, 2017. 

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Honkarakenne Oyj follows the Finnish Corporate Governance Code 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, 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. 

It is currently more difficult to acquire funding from the financial markets.
Some of the company’s loans carry a 30% equity ratio covenant term. At the end
of the second quarter, the equity ratio stood at 31% (31). If the company’s
sales do not develop sufficiently well, it is possible that the terms of the
covenant will be broken during the second half of the year. The company has
launched negotiations on new financing with banks and other potential
financiers. 

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

Deferred tax assets include MEUR 1.6 in tax losses carried forward. In
Honkarakenne’s opinion, these deferred tax assets 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. No new deferred tax assets were
recognised in the balance sheet for the first and second quarters of 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 half year financial report has been drafted in accordance with IAS 34. The
principles adhered to in preparing the annual financial statements also apply
to this half year financial report. The half year financial report should be
read together with the annual financial statements for 2015. The new revised
standards or interpretations effective as of 1 January 2016 have no bearing on
the figures presented for the report period. The figures have not been examined
by the auditor. 

As from this 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 “without non-recurring
items”. 

THE OUTLOOK FOR 2016

Honkarakenne reiterates its view that the net sales and adjusted result before
taxes for 2016 will be lower than in the previous year.

NOTES TO THE REPORT

Accounting policies

This half year financial report has been drafted in accordance with IAS 34. The
principles adhered to in preparing the annual financial statements also apply
to this half year financial report. The half year financial report should be
read together with the annual financial statements for 2015. The new revised
standards or interpretations effective as of 1 January 2016 have no bearing on
the figures presented for the report period. The figures have not been examined
by the auditor. 

As from this half-year 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 “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. 

Honka Management Oy, which is owned by the senior management of Honkarakenne
Oyj and was established in 2010, 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.
