CEO PEKKA OJANPÄÄ:

“Our performance in the fourth quarter was in line with our expectations.
Operating profit excluding non-recurring items picked up from the comparison
period, even though both fluctuations in the demand for services required by
the industry and substantially greater snowfall in the early winter than in
2011 posed challenges to production efficiency. Our new organisation came into
effect at the turn of the year and we are now focusing on its implementation in
accordance with our strategy. We are building a consistent L&T in order to
provide even better service to our customers.”

GROUP NET SALES AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

Final quarter
Lassila & Tikanoja’s net sales for the final quarter increased by 2.9% to EUR
171.8 million (EUR 167.0 million). Operating profit totalled EUR 9.7 million
(operating loss EUR 7.9 million), representing 5.6% (-4.7%) of net sales.
Operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 10.5 million (EUR 9.6
million). Earnings per share were EUR 0.18 (earnings per share EUR -0.18).

Net sales saw year-on-year growth primarily due to the improved competitiveness
of wood-based fuels. Fluctuations in the demand for process cleaning services
for industry and the divestment of L&T’s holding in the joint venture L&T
Recoil in June cut into net sales.

In the fourth quarter, overall performance improved from the comparison period
thanks to the higher profitability of Renewable Energy Sources and Swedish
cleaning operations. More snow fell in the early winter than in the comparison
period, which hampered production efficiency in property maintenance and
Environmental Services in particular, and also increased subcontracting and
production costs. Non-recurring costs totalling EUR 0.8 million were recognised
in the fourth quarter from the reorganisation of operations.

An impairment loss of EUR 17.1 million for the goodwill and other assets of the
Renewable Energy Sources division was recorded as a non-recurring cost in the
comparison period.

Year 2012
Lassila & Tikanoja's full-year net sales grew by 3.4% to 674.0 EUR million (EUR
652.1 million). Operating profit was EUR 48.4 million (EUR 25.6 million),
representing 7.2% (3.9%) of net sales, and operating profit excluding
non-recurring items was EUR 47.4 million (EUR 44.3 million). Earnings per share
were EUR 0.89 (EUR 0.44).

Net sales saw year-on-year growth primarily thanks to the higher demand for
wood-based fuels, the volume growth of Environmental Services and the expansion
of the damage repair network. Waste and recycling volumes remained at a good
level during the entire year. Demand for process cleaning services for industry
fluctuated greatly in the latter half of the year.

The overall performance improvement from the comparison period could be largely
attributed to the divestment of holdings in the loss-making joint venture L&T
Recoil at the end of June and the higher profitability of Renewable Energy
Sources. The smaller loss posted by Swedish operations also improved
performance. Full-year profitability was eroded by the non-recurring
compensation of about EUR 0.7 million paid in the second quarter in accordance
with the collective labour agreement and the increase in subcontracting and
labour costs, particularly in Property Maintenance.

A non-recurring capital gain of EUR 4.2 million was recognised in the second
quarter from the divestment
of holdings in L&T Recoil Oy. 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. Furthermore,
non-recurring costs totalling EUR 3.2 million from the rearrangement and
efficiency enhancement measures taken in Environmental Services, Property
Maintenance and the Swedish business were recognised during the report year.

NET SALES AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE BY DIVISION
Environmental Services

Final quarter
The division’s net sales for the final quarter decreased by 2.1 % to EUR 82.3
million (EUR 84.0 million). Operating profit amounted to EUR 7.8 million (EUR
8.3 million), and operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 7.9
million (EUR 8.3 million).

Both the seasonal weak demand for process cleaning services for industry and
the divestment of the holding in the joint venture L&T Recoil cut into the
division’s net sales. Waste and recycling volumes were on a par with the
comparison period, and the prices of secondary raw materials (fibres, plastics,
metals) remained good.

The division’s profitability saw a year-on-year decline primarily due to the
seasonal weak demand for process cleaning services for industry.

The net sales of the Environmental Services division’s international operations
declined from the comparison period due to the tougher competitive situation in
Latvia.

Year 2012
The division’s full-year net sales increased by 1.5% to EUR 330.7 million (EUR
325.9 million). Operating profit amounted to EUR 38.1 million (EUR 34.0
million), and operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 35.0
million (EUR 34.0 million).

The healthy demand for waste management and industrial services was the key
driver of net sales growth. However, industrial demand weakened during the
latter half of the year. Waste volumes and the prices of secondary raw
materials (fibres, plastics, metals) remained robust throughout the report
year.

The division's operating profit remained on a par with the comparison period.
Operating profit was boosted by higher profitability following the L&T Recoil
divestment and successful production efficiency measures. However, performance
was taxed by the increase seen in fuel and repair costs, particularly in the
first half of the year, as well as weaker profitability in international
operations.

At the end of the second quarter, L&T sold its 50 per cent holding in the joint
venture L&T Recoil to the co-owner, EcoStream Oy. After this arrangement, L&T
owns slightly less than 20 per cent of EcoStream’s shares and continues to
serve as one of the suppliers of raw materials to the regeneration plant. A
non-recurring capital gain of EUR 4.2 million on the arrangement was recorded
for the second quarter.

Cleaning and Office Support Services

Final quarter
The division’s net sales for the final quarter totalled EUR 40.2 million (EUR
40.1 million); an increase of 0.3%. Operating profit amounted to EUR 2.0
million (EUR 0.9 million), and operating profit excluding non-recurring items
was EUR 2.4 million (EUR 1.1 million).

The division’s net sales remained on a par with the comparison period, even
though competition made it harder to achieve the target price levels in new
sales and commissioned assignments.

Operating profit saw year-on-year growth, primarily thanks to higher
profitability in Swedish operations. Fixed cost management in Finnish
operations was also successful.

Year 2012
The Cleaning and Office Support Services division's full-year net sales grew by
2.7% to EUR 161.5 million (EUR 157.3 million). Operating profit amounted to EUR
7.6 million (EUR 7.1 million), and operating profit excluding non-recurring
items was EUR 9.1 million (EUR 7.5 million).

The division’s net sales saw slight year-on-year growth as a result of
acquisitions made in the previous spring. Demand for commissioned assignments
remained good throughout the year in spite of heavy price competition.

The division’s operating profit improved substantially on the comparison period
thanks to good performance in commissioned assignments and the higher
profitability of Swedish operations. Operating profit is burdened by a rise in
labour costs, which were not fully set off by service price hikes.

A non-recurring cost of EUR 1.0 million was recorded in the second quarter for
the reorganisation of the Swedish operations.

Property Maintenance

Final quarter
The division’s net sales for the final quarter increased by 3.3% to EUR 34.6
million (EUR 33.5 million). Operating profit amounted to EUR 0.5 million (EUR
1.9 million), and operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 0.7
million (EUR 1.9 million).

The division’s net sales saw slight year-on-year growth, primarily because more
snow fell in the latter part of the year than in 2011.

Profitability weakened significantly from the comparison period due to a rise
in production and subcontracting costs. Operating profit was also burdened by
the smaller-than-usual size of commissioned assignments in damage repair
services.

Year 2012
The Property Maintenance division’s full-year net sales increased by 2.5% to
EUR 138.0 million (EUR 134.6 million). Operating profit amounted to EUR 5.3
million (EUR 8.2 million), and operating profit excluding non-recurring items
was EUR 5.6 million (EUR 8.2 million).

Net sales saw a year-on-year increase primarily due to the growth in the
workload following the expansion of the damage repair service network.

The division’s operating profit weakened from the comparison period due to
tighter price competition in property maintenance and higher subcontracting
costs. Profitability was also burdened by the fact that snowfall was heavier in
the latter part of the year than in the comparison period.

In damage repair services, even more new co-operation agreements were signed
with insurance companies in the latter half of the year. These agreements are
expected to bolster L&T’s market position in the future and provide a steadier
workload.

Renewable Energy Sources

Final quarter
Final-quarter net sales for Renewable Energy Sources (L&T Biowatti) were up by
45.4%, to EUR 18.3 million (EUR 12.6 million). Operating profit amounted to EUR
0.3 million (a loss of EUR 18.2 million), and operating profit excluding
non-recurring items was EUR 0.3 million (a loss of EUR 1.1 million).

Net sales saw substantial year-on-year growth due to better competitiveness of
wood-based fuels. The division’s profitability also improved significantly on
the comparison period thanks to volume growth, lower depreciation and the
management of fixed costs.

Year 2012
The full-year net sales of Renewable Energy Sources (L&T Biowatti) were up by
23.2% to EUR 55.9 million (EUR 45.4 million). Operating loss amounted to EUR
0.1 million (a loss of EUR 21.3 million), and operating profit excluding
non-recurring items was EUR 0.1 million (a loss of EUR 3.8 million).

Net sales saw substantial year-on-year growth, as new sales rose thanks to the
better demand for wood-based fuels in comparison with fossil fuels.

Operating profit also improved substantially due to volume growth and the more
efficient cost structure, although the rainy summer and early autumn weakened
the energy content of forest processed chips.

FINANCING

Cash flows from operating activities amounted to EUR 80.5 million (EUR 74.5
million). EUR 6.4 million was released from the working capital (EUR 3.2
released).

At the end of the year, interest-bearing liabilities amounted to EUR 96.9
million (EUR 135.2 million). L&T Recoil accounted for EUR 18.1 million of the
interest-bearing liabilities in the reference period. Guarantees of EUR 16.4
million given by Lassila & Tikanoja to other providers of finance for these
liabilities are still in force. In addition L&T had receivables from EcoStream
Group of EUR 4.9 million, of which EUR 4.2 million were past due on 31 December
2012. L&T’s receivables and liabilities related to EcoStream holding were in
total EUR 21.3 million.

Net interest-bearing liabilities amounted to EUR 82.3 million, showing a
decrease of EUR 20.0 million on the final quarter and EUR 44.9 million from the
beginning of the year.

Net finance costs decreased significantly in the final quarter and amounted to
EUR 0.5 million (EUR 1.1 million). In 2012 net finance costs amounted to EUR
5.4 million (EUR 4.6 million). 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. Due to the
cost recognition, net finance costs were 0.8% (0.7%) of net sales.

The average interest rate on long-term loans (with interest-rate hedging) was
2.2% (3.1%). The interest hedging of loans remained unchanged at 68% (68%).
Long-term loans totalling EUR 26.9 million will mature during 2013.

The equity ratio was 49.4% (44.5%) and the gearing rate 35.3 (58.3). Liquid
assets at the end of the period amounted to EUR 14.6 million (EUR 8.1 million).

Of the EUR 100 million commercial paper programme, EUR 12.0 million (EUR 17
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.

DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS

The Annual General Meeting held on 15 March 2012 resolved that the profit for
2011 be placed in retained earnings and that no dividend be paid. A capital
repayment of EUR 0.55 per share would be paid for the financial year 2011. The
capital repayment, totalling EUR 21.3 million, was paid to the shareholders on
27 March 2012.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURE

In 2012, gross capital expenditure amounted to EUR 49.4 million (EUR 70.6
million), of which EUR 9.4 million were related to acquisitions, including the
slightly under 20 per cent holding in EcoStream Oy that was part of the L&T
Recoil arrangement.

In the first quarter, the Property Maintenance division acquired the property
maintenance businesses of IK Kiinteistöpalvelu Oy and the business of
Jyvässeudun Talonmiehet Oy and Kiinteistöhuolto Markku Hyttinen Oy.

In the second quarter, the Environmental Services division acquired the waste
management business of Sita Finland Oy in Oulu.

In the fourth quarter, the Environmental Services acquired business operations
of the Munaistenmetsä material recovery area in Uusikaupunki.

PERSONNEL

In 2012 the average number of employees converted into full-time equivalents
was 8,399 (8,513). The total number of full-time and part-time employees at the
end of the period was 8,962 (9,357). Of them 7,035 (7,381) people worked in
Finland and 1,927 (1,976) people in other countries.

PROPOSAL FOR THE DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS

According to the financial statements, Lassila & Tikanoja plc's unrestricted
equity amount to EUR 114,473,686.13 with the operating profit for the period
representing EUR 24,083,220.00. There were no substantial changes in the
financial standing of the company after the end of the period, and the solvency
test referred to in Chapter 13, section 2 of the Companies Act does not affect
the amount of distributable assets.

The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting that the profit
for 2012 be placed in retained earnings and that no dividend be paid.

The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting that, based on
the balance sheet to be adopted for 2012, a capital repayment of EUR 0.60 per
share be made. Capital is repaid from the reserve for invested unrestricted
equity. Capital is repaid to shareholders included in the company shareholder
register maintained by Euroclear Finland Oy on the record date, 15 March 2013.
The Board proposes to the Annual General Meeting that the capital repayment be
made on 22 March 2013.

No capital repayment shall be paid on shares held by the company on the
dividend payment record date of 15 March 2013. On the day the proposal for the
distribution of assets was made, the number of shares entitling to capital
repayment was 38,692,064, which means the total amount of the capital repayment
would be EUR 23,215,238.40.

BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

In business combinations, all property, plant and equipment acquired is
measured at fair value on the basis of the market prices of similar assets,
taking into account the age of the assets, wear and tear and similar factors.
Tangible assets will be depreciated over their useful life according to the
management’s estimate, taking into account the depreciation principles observed
within the Group.

Intangible assets arising from business combinations are recognised separately
from goodwill at fair value at the time of acquisition if they are
identifiable. In connection with acquired business operations, the Group mostly
has acquired agreements on prohibition of competition and customer
relationships. The fair value of customer agreements and customer relationships
associated with them has been determined on the basis of estimated duration of
customer relationships and discounted net cash flows arising from current
customer relationships. The value of agreements on prohibition of competition
is calculated in a similar manner through cash flows over the duration of the
agreement. Other intangible assets will be amortised over their useful life
according to agreement or the management’s estimate.

In addition to the skills of the personnel of the acquired businesses, goodwill
arising from business combinations comprises other intangible items. These
unidentified items include the potential for gaining new customers in the
acquired businesses and the opportunities for developing new products and
services, as well as the regionally strong position of an acquired business.
All business combinations also create synergy benefits that consist primarily
of savings in fixed production costs.

Changes in goodwill arising from acquisitions or acquisition costs may arise on
the basis of terms and conditions related to the acquisition price in the deeds
of sale. In many acquisitions a small portion of the acquisition price is
contingent on future events (less than 12 months). These conditional
acquisition prices are recorded at fair value at the time of acquisition, and
any changes will be recorded through profit or loss in the income statement for
the period. Profit for the period includes changes allocated to acquisition
prices amounting to EUR 150 thousand. Changes in the acquisition prices made in
2009 and for the Biowatti acquisition in 2007 will be recorded in goodwill in
line with the old IFRS 3.

The consolidated net sales for the year 2012 would have been EUR 674.1 million
and the consolidated profit for the period EUR 34.5 million if all the
acquisitions had occurred on 1 January 2012. The realised net sales of the
acquired businesses have been added to the consolidated net sales, and their
realised profits and losses have been added to the consolidated profit in
accordance with interim accounts at the time of acquisition. Profit for the
period is stated less the current amortisation on intangible assets and
depreciation charges on property, plant and equipment. Synergy benefits have
not been accounted for.

The aggregate net sales of the acquired businesses totalled EUR 1.9 million in
2012.

Acquisitions by Property Maintenance
- 1 January 2012, the property maintenance operations of IK Kiinteistöpalvelu
Oy.
- 1 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.
- 11 October 2012 the business of material utilisation area of the
Munaistenmetsä material recovery area in Uusikaupunki.

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.

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.

On 18 December 2006, an agreement was signed on the acquisition of the majority
(70%) of the shares of
Biowatti Oy from the acting management of the company. L&T also made a
commitment to redeem the
remaining 30 percent of the shares by the beginning of the year 2012. The
acquisition price for the 70 percent
portion was EUR 30.9 million, and it was settled in cash. No interest-bearing
liabilities were transferred in the
acquisition. In the consolidated financial statements the whole acquisition
price (100%) was recognised as
acquisition cost. No minority interest was separated from the profit or equity,
but the estimated acquisition price
of the remaining 30 percent was recognised as interest-bearing current
liability. The final price of the 30
percent portion was determined based on the future earnings of L&T Biowatti. In
January 2012, L&T Biowatti’s 30 per cent holding in the company was redeemed in
accordance with the agreement. These shares were valued at EUR 2,411 thousand
in the 2011 financial statements.

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.
