2012-10-23 07:00:01 CEST 2012-10-23 07:00:11 CEST REGULATED INFORMATION Lassila & Tikanoja - Interim report (Q1 and Q3)Lassila & Tikanoja plc: Interim Report 1 January-30 September 2012Helsinki, Finland, 2012-10-23 07:00 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Net sales for the third quarter EUR 161.2 million (EUR 163.5 million); operating profit EUR 19.6 million (EUR 18.2 million); operating profit excluding non-recurring items EUR 19.7 million (EUR 18.2 million); earnings per share EUR 0.40 (EUR 0.32) Net sales for January-September EUR 502.2 million (EUR 485.1 million); operating profit EUR 38.7 million (EUR 33.5 million); operating profit excluding non-recurring items EUR 36.9 million (EUR 34.7 million); earnings per share EUR 0.71 (EUR 0.62) Group's full-year net sales in 2012 are expected to remain at the 2011 level. Operating profit, excluding non-recurring items, is expected to remain at the 2011 level or improve slightly. CEO PEKKA OJANPÄÄ: ”Our performance in the third quarter was more or less in line with our expectations. Operating profit excluding non-recurring items picked up from the comparison period despite the economic uncertainty, which, to some extent, reflected on demand for services required by the industry. Cleaning and Office Support Services performed particularly well. Our key priority at this time is to implement the strategy announced in September, as well as key projects designed to improve our profitability.” GROUP NET SALES AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE Third quarter Lassila & Tikanoja's net sales for the third quarter decreased by 1.4% to EUR 161.2 million (EUR 163.5 million). Operating profit was EUR 19.6 million (EUR 18.2 million), representing 12.2% (11.1%) of net sales, and operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 19.7 million (EUR 18.2 million). Earnings per share were EUR 0.40 (EUR 0.32). Net sales declined slightly from the comparison period, as a result of the divestment of L&T's holding in the joint venture L&T Recoil and postponed shutdown-related work in process cleaning services. Meanwhile, demand for wood-based fuels improved from the comparison period. Following the divestment of holdings in the loss-making L&T Recoil, the Environmental Services division was able to improve its profitability, which in turn boosted the quarter's financial performance. Successful sales of commissioned assignments in Cleaning and Office Support Services also contributed to our performance improvement. In addition, Renewable Energy Sources was able to reduce its losses compared to the comparison period. January-September Lassila & Tikanoja's net sales for January-September amounted to EUR 502.2 million (EUR 485.1 million); an increase of 3.5%. Operating profit was EUR 38.7 million (EUR 33.5 million), representing 7.7% (6.9%) of net sales, and operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 36.9 million (EUR 34.7 million). Earnings per share were EUR 0.71 (EUR 0.62). Net sales grew in January-September, primarily thanks to the increase in demand for Environmental Services and wood-based fuels seen in the first half. The overall performance improvement from the comparison period could be largely attributed to the volume increase in Environmental Services, the divestment of holdings in the loss-making joint venture L&T Recoil at the end of June and the decrease in losses recorded by Renewable Energy Sources. Profitability in January-September was eroded by the non-recurring compensation of EUR 0.7 million paid in the second quarter, in accordance with the collective labour agreement and the increase in subcontracting and labour costs in Property Maintenance. A non-recurring capital gain of EUR 4.2 million was recorded in the second quarter, from the sale of holdings in L&T Recoil Oy, and non-recurring costs totalling EUR 2.2 million from the rearrangement and efficiency enhancement measures taken in Environmental Services, Property Maintenance and in the Swedish business. The efficiency enhancement measures are expected to generate annual savings of at least EUR 4.0 million. The measures are proceeding as planned.

NET SALES AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE BY DIVISION Environmental Services Third quarter The division's net sales for the third quarter were down by 3.0% to EUR 83.3 million (EUR 85.9 million). Operating profit totalled EUR 12.8 million (EUR 12.3 million) and operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 12.8 million (EUR 12.3 million). The division's net sales fell slightly from the comparison period following the divestment of holdings in L&T Recoil in June. Some shutdown-related work in process cleaning services was postponed to October, which also taxed net sales. Waste management and recycling service volumes and the prices of secondary raw materials remained at a healthy level during the quarter. In waste management, prices of services were revised at the beginning of the period, to match higher production costs. The division's profitability improvement from the comparison period could be attributed to the L&T Recoil divestment at the end of June. Net sales and operating profit from international operations declined slightly from the comparison period. January-September The Environmental Services division's net sales for January-September amounted to EUR 248.4 million (EUR 241.9 million), showing an increase of 2.7%. Operating profit totalled EUR 30.4 million (EUR 25.7 million) and operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 27.1 million (EUR 25.7 million). Waste management services and the healthy demand for industrial services were the key drivers of net sales growth in January-September. Towards the end of the period, shutdown-related work in process cleaning in particular were again affected by postponements. Waste volumes and the prices of secondary raw materials (fibres, plastics, metals) remained robust throughout the period. The division's profitability rose following the sale of L&T Recoil, which, together with production efficiency boosting measures, pushed operating profit up. Performance was taxed by the increase seen in the first half in fuel and repair costs, as well as weaker profitability in international operations. At the end of the second quarter, L&T sold its 50 percent holding in the joint venture L&T Recoil to the co-owner, EcoStream Oy. The sale price consisted of a EUR 10 million cash contribution and a slightly lower than 20 percent interest in EcoStream. A non-recurring capital gain of EUR 4.2 million on the arrangement was recorded for the second quarter. At the same time, a non-recurring cost of EUR 2.0 million was recorded in financial expenses, consisting of interest receivable from subordinated loans granted to the joint venture. Cleaning and Office Support Services Third quarter The division's net sales for the third quarter totalled EUR 41.3 million (EUR 41.5 million), showing a decrease of 0.5%. Operating profit totalled EUR 4.5 million (EUR 3.7 million) and operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 4.5 million (EUR 3.7 million). Net sales in domestic operations remained at almost the previous year's level. Despite price competition, the division was able to raise its profitability year-on-year thanks to successful sales of commissioned assignments and fixed cost management. Net sales from international operations remained unchanged, while the financial result improved slightly thanks to higher profitability in Swedish operations. January-September The January-September net sales of Cleaning and Office Support Services increased by 3.5% to EUR 121.3 million (EUR 117.2 million). Operating profit totalled EUR 5.6 million (EUR 6.2 million) and operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 6.7 million (EUR 6.4 million). The division's year-on-year net sales grew slightly as a result of acquisitions made in the spring 2011. Demand for commissioned assignments was healthy throughout the period. The division's operating profit rose from the comparison period, thanks to a good performance in commissioned assignments. In the first half, profitability was adversely affected by the loss-making operations in Sweden and higher labour costs, which were not fully set off by service price hikes. The non-recurring cost of EUR 1.0 million recorded in the second quarter for the reorganisation of the Swedish operations eroded the division's operating profit. Property Maintenance Third quarter The division's net sales for the third quarter were up by 0.1% to EUR 31.4 million (EUR 31.3 million). Operating profit totalled EUR 3.3 million (EUR 3.6 million) and operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 3.3 million (EUR 3.6 million). A strong workload in maintenance services for technical systems raised net sales to the comparison period's level. The division's operating profit decreased slightly from the comparison period, since the commissioned assignments in damage repair services were less in size. Meanwhile, the profitability of property maintenance and maintenance services for technical systems improved, thanks to production efficiency enhancement measures. In damage repair services, new co-operation agreements were signed with insurance companies during the quarter, which will strengthen L&T's market position in the future and provide a steadier workload. January-September The division's net sales for January-September were up by 2.2% to EUR 103.4 million (EUR 101.1 million). Operating profit totalled EUR 4.8 million (EUR 6.3 million) and operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 4.9 million (EUR 6.3 million). Expansion of the damage repair service network and the increase in workload contributed to the year-on-year increase in the division's net sales. Increasingly tight price competition in property maintenance and the rise in subcontracting and overtime costs in the first half eroded the division's operating profit. Renewable Energy Sources Third quarter Third quarter net sales of Renewable Energy Sources (L&T Biowatti) were up by 10.6% to EUR 8.0 million (EUR 7.2 million). The division recorded an operating loss of EUR 0.4 million (a loss of EUR 1.1 million), and an operating loss excluding non-recurring items of EUR 0.4 million (a loss of EUR 1.1 million). Volume growth boosted net sales, even though the warm and rainy weather in the early autumn dampened demand and taxed the energy content of forest processed chips. Problems in peat production will raise the competitiveness of wood-based fuels in the coming heating season. Smaller depreciation helped curtail the division's operating loss. January-September January-September net sales of Renewable Energy Sources (L&T Biowatti) were up by 14.7% to EUR 37.7 million (EUR 32.8 million). Operating loss amounted to EUR 0.3 million (a loss of EUR 3.1 million), and operating loss excluding non-recurring items was EUR 0.2 million (a loss of EUR 2.7 million). Net sales increased from the comparison period thanks to successful new sales.Profitability also improved thanks to smaller depreciation and a trimmer cost structure. Chips' weak energy content had a negative impact on first-half results. BREAKDOWN OF OPERATING PROFIT EXCLUDING NON-RECURRING ITEMS EUR million 7-9/ 7-9/ 1-9/ 1-9/ 1-12/ 2012 2011 2012 2011 2011 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Operating profit 19.6 18.2 38.7 33.5 25.6 Non-recurring items: Gain on sale of holding in L&T Recoil Oy -4.2 Impairment of hazardous waste treatment 0.3 facility in Tuusula Impairment of L&T Biowatti 17.1 Discontinuation of wood pellet production of 0.1 0.1 L&T Biowatti Restructuring costs 0.1 2.1 1.1 1.5 Operating profit excluding non-recurring 19.7 18.2 36.9 34.7 44.3 items -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FINANCING Cash flows from operating activities amounted to EUR 49.7 million (EUR 45.2 million). EUR 6.4 million was tied up in the working capital (EUR 9.4 million tied up). At the end of the period, interest-bearing liabilities amounted to EUR 114.0 million (EUR 153.6 million). L&T Recoil accounted for EUR 18.6 million of the interest-bearing liabilities in the comparison period. Net interest-bearing liabilities amounted to EUR 102.3 million, showing a decrease of EUR 24.9 million from the beginning of the year and EUR 39.4 million from the comparison period. Net finance costs amounted to EUR 4.9 million (EUR 3.5 million) in January-September. This increase could be attributed to the non-recurring cost recognition of EUR 2.0 million on interest receivable from subordinated loans given to L&T Recoil Oy in the second quarter. Net finance costs were 1.0% (0.7%) of net sales. The average interest rate on long-term loans (with interest-rate hedging) was 2.4% (3.1%). Long-term loans totalling EUR 7.2 million will mature during the rest of the year. The equity ratio was 47.5% (43.4%) and the gearing rate 45.1 (63.5). Liquid assets at the end of the period amounted to EUR 11.7 million (EUR 12.0 million). Of the EUR 100 million commercial paper programme, EUR 22.0 million (EUR 27 million) was in use at the end of the period. A committed limit totalling EUR 30.0 million, was not in use, as was the case in the comparison period.

SUMMARY OF STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASES PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 7, CHAPTER 2 OF THE SECURITIES MARKETS ACT In a release published on 7 September 2012 the company announced its new strategy. The core businesses of the new clarified portfolio are environmental, industrial and facility services. From 1 January 2013, L&T's reporting segments are Environmental Services, Industrial Services, Facility Services, and Renewable Energy Sources. The new financial targets are: organic growth over 5%, return on investment (ROI) 20%, operating profit 9% and gearing 30-80%. In a release published on 7 September 2012 the company announced changes in company's management. Petri Salermo (QBA, born 1970) has been appointed Vice President, Environmental Services effective from 1 January 2013, Ville Rantala (M.Sc. Econ., born 1971) has been appointed Vice President, Industrial Services effective from 1 January 2013 and Petri Myllyniemi (M.Sc. Econ.; B.Sc. Eng., born 1964) has been appointed Vice President, Facility Services, effective from 7 January 2013. For the time being, Juha Simola and Henri Turunen will continue to act as the Vice Presidents of the current Property Maintenance and Cleaning and Office Support Services divisions and as members of the Group Executive Board. In a release published on 14 September 2012 the company announced it is hosting a Capital Markets Day. The aim of the day was to present L&T's new strategy. NEAR-TERM UNCERTAINTIES Economic uncertainty may cause radical changes in the Environmental Services division's secondary raw material markets and in industrial customer relationships. Uncertainties associated with government subsidies for renewable fuels and with their continuity could affect demand for the Renewable Energy Sources division's services. More detailed information on L&T's risks and risk management is available in the Annual Report for 2011, in the report of the Board of Directors, and in the consolidated financial statements. OUTLOOK FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR Despite the economic uncertainty, the outlook for Environmental Services is, by and large, stable, but any changes in demand for industrial services may complicate operational adjustments. The outlook for Cleaning and Office Support Services and for Property Maintenance is stable. Demand for Renewable Energy Sources' (L&T Biowatti) wood-based fuels will pick up from the comparison period, and with a more effective cost structure in place, operating profit will improve. Group's full-year net sales in 2012 are expected to remain at the 2011 level. Operating profit, excluding non-recurring items, is expected to remain at the 2011 level or improve slightly.

February 2012, the business of Jyvässeudun Talonmiehet Oy and Kiinteistöhuolto Markku Hyttinen Oy. Acquisitions by Environmental Services - 1 May 2012, the waste management business of Sita Finland Oy in Oulu. The figures for these acquired businesses are stated in aggregate, because none of them is of material importance when considered separately. Fair values have been determined as of the time the acquisition was realised. No business operations have been divested as a consequence of any acquisition. All acquisitions have been paid for in cash. With share acquisitions, L&T was able to gain 100% of the voting rights. The conditional consideration is tied to the transfer of the customer contracts to Lassila & Tikanoja plc, and the estimates of the fair values of considerations were determined on the basis of probability-weighted final acquisition price. The estimates for the conditional consideration have not changed between the time of acquisition and the balance sheet date. Trade and other receivables have been recorded at fair value at the time of acquisition. Individual acquisition prices have not been itemised because none of them is of material importance when considered separately. Profit for the period includes changes allocated to acquisition prices amounting to EUR 150 thousand. By net sales, the largest acquisition was the business of Jyvässeudun Talonmiehet Oy (EUR 858 thousand). It is not possible to itemise the effects of the acquired businesses on the consolidated net sales and profit for the period, because L&T integrates its acquisitions into the current business operations as quickly as possible to gain synergy benefits. The accounting policy concerning business combinations is presented in Annual Report under Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements and under Summary on significant accounting policies.
