CEO PEKKA OJANPÄÄ:

“The economic recession kept the business environment challenging. In spite of
this, our net sales increased in the second quarter. The majority of the growth
was attributable to strategically targeted acquisitions. Net sales also grew
organically for the first time in a long while, supported by a focus on sales
and customer relationships. We achieved an improvement also in profitability
and cash flow. Profitability was supported by the successful integration of
acquired businesses and good cost control. In line with our strategy, our focus
in the prevailing economic situation is on strengthening our market position
and ensuring profitability and cash flow through the development of our
business operations and by business acquisitions.”

GROUP NET SALES AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

Second quarter
Lassila & Tikanoja’s net sales for the second quarter increased by 2.7% to EUR
164.2 million (EUR 159.8 million). Operating profit totalled EUR 14.4 million
(EUR 12.9 million). Operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 14.4
million (EUR 13.5 million), representing 8.8% (8.4%) of net sales. Earnings per
share were EUR 0.28 (EUR 0.29).

In the second quarter, net sales grew particularly in Industrial Services,
which saw strong demand for process cleaning. Net sales also increased in
Environmental Services and Facility Services. The majority of the growth was
attributable to acquisitions made by the Group. The net sales of the Renewable
Energy Sources division declined substantially due to demand being lower than
in the comparison period.

Profitability improved mainly due to the strong profitability of the
Environmental Services division’s recycling business and the Industrial
Services division’s process cleaning business. Profitability also developed
favourably in the second quarter in Renewable Energy Sources due to the good
energy content of the division’s fuels. The profitability of the Facility
Services division decreased slightly.

January-June
Lassila & Tikanoja’s net sales for January-June amounted to EUR 321.5 million
(EUR 319.2 million), an increase of 0.7%. Operating profit totalled EUR 20.9
million (EUR 15.1 million). Operating profit excluding non-recurring items was
EUR 21.8 million (EUR 20.9 million), representing 6.8% (6.5%) of net sales.
Earnings per share were EUR 0.42 (EUR -0.13).

In the first half of the year, net sales grew in Environmental Services and
Facility Services, primarily due to acquisitions made by the Group. The net
sales of the Renewable Energy Sources division decreased due to low demand. In
Industrial Services, net sales were on the same level with the comparison
period.

In the comparison period, the company’s reported operating profit included EUR
5.8 million in non-recurring items.

Operating profit excluding non-recurring items increased in all divisions
during the first half of the year. In the first quarter, the company recorded
non-recurring restructuring costs of EUR 0.9 million related to the damage
repair services business. The company continued to adapt the damage repair
services business to the weakened market situation.

* Breakdown is presented below the division reviews.

NET SALES AND OPERATING PROFIT BY DIVISION

Environmental Services

Second quarter
The division’s net sales for the second quarter increased by 3.7% to EUR 66.5
million (EUR 64.2 million). Operating profit was EUR 10.8 million (EUR 9.3
million) and operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 10.8
million (EUR 9.6 million).

Net sales increased particularly in the recycling business, mainly due to
acquisitions. The increase in the net sales of the recycling business was also
attributable to stronger demand for services in the construction sector. Net
sales decreased in the environmental product business due to structural changes
implemented in line with strategy.

The division’s profitability was weighed down by additional maintenance
shutdowns at the recycling plants in Turku and Kerava, which resulted in lower
waste processing volumes at the two plants. Nevertheless, the operating profit
of the Environmental Services division increased due to the otherwise improved
profitability of the recycling business and good operational efficiency in
waste management.

January-June
The Environmental Services division’s net sales for January-June increased by
1.9% and amounted to EUR 127.5 million (EUR 125.1 million). Operating profit
was EUR 17.3 million (EUR 15.9 million) and operating profit excluding
non-recurring items was EUR 17.3 million (EUR 16.2 million).

Acquisitions and stronger demand for services in the construction sector
contributed to increased net sales in the recycling business and the division
as a whole. During the first half of the year, net sales decreased in Russia
due to lower demand for waste management services, recycling services and
environmental products declined as well as fluctuations in the rouble exchange
rate. In the environmental products business, net sales also decreased due to
the discontinuation of certain products.

Profitability was weighed down by additional maintenance shutdowns at the
recycling plants in Turku and Kerava, which resulted in lower waste processing
volumes at the two plants. Nevertheless, the division’s operating profit
increased due to the otherwise improved profitability of the recycling business
and good operational efficiency in waste management.

Industrial Services

Second quarter
The division’s net sales for the second quarter increased by 5.6% to EUR 20.8
million (EUR 19.7 million). Operating profit was EUR 2.5 million (EUR 1.9
million) and operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 2.5 million
(EUR 2.0 million).

The division’s net sales increased mainly due to the strong demand for process
cleaning services. Net sales also increased in hazardous waste management and
environmental construction.

In sewer maintenance, the operating result improved significantly due to
previously implemented adaptation measures. Profitability also improved in
process cleaning due to strong demand.

January-June
The Facility Services division’s net sales for January-June decreased by 0.1%
to EUR 35.7 million (EUR 35.7 million). Operating profit was EUR 2.1 million
(EUR 1.8 million) and operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR
2.1 million (EUR 1.9 million).

The division’s net sales were on the same level with the comparison period.
Demand for process cleaning was strong in the second quarter. Net sales also
increased in hazardous waste management and environmental construction. In
sewer maintenance, net sales decreased due to the closure of unprofitable
units.

The operating result of the sewer maintenance business improved significantly
due to adaptation measures implemented during the first half of the year.
Profitability also improved in process cleaning due to strong demand.

Facility Services

Second quarter
The division’s net sales for the second quarter increased by 2.6% to EUR 70.1
million (EUR 68.3 million). Operating profit totalled EUR 1.8 million (EUR 2.1
million). Operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 1.8 million
(EUR 2.2 million).

The technical systems maintenance business saw continued strong growth
supported by organic sales growth and acquisitions. Demand also increased in
property maintenance and cleaning services. The net sales of the damage repair
services business continued to decline as a result of the low number of damage
incidents and the implementation of adaptation measures.

Profitability declined in cleaning services and property maintenance. In
technical systems maintenance, the operating loss was lower than in the
comparison period. The implementation of restructuring measures saw the damage
repair services business return to profitability in the second quarter.

January-June
The Facility Services division’s net sales for January-June increased by 2.5%
to EUR 140.7 million (EUR 137.4 million). Operating profit totalled EUR 2.1
million (EUR 2.6 million). Operating profit excluding non-recurring items was
EUR 3.0 million (EUR 2.8 million).

Demand in the property maintenance business improved from the previous year,
while the technical systems maintenance business saw continued strong growth
supported by organic sales growth and acquisitions. Demand continued to decline
in damage repair services. The Group closed down unprofitable business
locations in the damage repair services business during the first half of the
year, which affected the entire division’s net sales and operating profit. The
net sales of the cleaning business in Sweden declined more than expected.

Profitability developed favourably in property maintenance and the maintenance
of technical systems. Adaptation measures implemented in damage repair services
significantly reduced the operating loss excluding non-recurring items. The
result of the cleaning business was weighed down in the first half of the year
by several large-scale customer start-ups and the slightly weaker profitability
of Swedish operations.

The company will continue to adapt the damage repair services business to the
prevailing market situation. In the first quarter, the company recorded
non-recurring restructuring costs of EUR 0.9 million related to the damage
repair services business, of which EUR 0.3 million were actual costs incurred
in the first quarter and EUR 0.6 million are provisions for future
restructuring measures.

Renewable Energy Sources

Second quarter
Second quarter net sales of Renewable Energy Sources (L&T Biowatti) were down
by 11.3% to EUR 9.1 million (EUR 10.3 million). Operating profit and operating
profit excluding non-recurring items were EUR 0.5 million (EUR 0.3 million).

The division’s net sales declined mainly due to the short heating season and
the challenging market situation for biofuels. Towards the end of the period,
however, demand was stronger than in the comparison period. The division’s
profitability improved due to the good energy content of its fuels and the
strong operational efficiency.

January-June
The net sales of the Renewable Energy Sources division (L&T Biowatti) in
January-June were down by 15.6% to EUR 22.0 million (EUR 26.1 million).
Operating profit and operating profit excluding non-recurring items were EUR
1.2 million (EUR 1.1 million).

The division’s net sales declined mainly due to the short heating season and
the challenging market situation for biofuels. Profitability improved due to
efficiency improvement measures and the good energy content of fuels.

million). A total of EUR 1.0 million in working capital was released (EUR 6.8
million committed).

At the end of the period, interest-bearing liabilities amounted to EUR 101.1
million (EUR 100.7 million).

Net interest-bearing liabilities amounted to EUR 60.5 million (EUR 80.2
million), showing an increase of EUR 8.5 million from the beginning of the year
and a decrease of EUR 19.7 million from the comparison period.

Net financial expenses in January-June amounted to EUR 0.2 million (EUR 17.6
million). Net financial expenses were 0.1% (5.5%) of net sales. The amount of
net financial expenses in the comparison period was primarily due to the EUR
16.7 million payment made under the L&T Recoil Oy guarantee commitment and
exchange rate fluctuations that affected the Group’s internal loans denominated
in foreign currencies.

The average interest rate on long-term loans (with interest rate hedging) was
1.5% (1.7%). Long-term loans totalling EUR 4.9 million will mature during the
rest of the year.

assets at the end of the period amounted to EUR 40.6 million (EUR 20.5

EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

The company management is not aware of any events of material importance that
might have affected the preparation of the interim report.

NEAR-TERM RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Economic uncertainty may result in significant changes in the secondary raw
material markets for Environmental Services and the demand for Facility
Services and Industrial Services.

Uncertainties related to government subsidies for renewable fuels and to the
continuity of such subsidies may affect demand for the services of Renewable
Energy Sources. In addition, low prices for fossil fuels may affect the demand
of the recovered and renewable fuels produced by the company.

More detailed information on L&T’s risks and risk management is available in
the Annual Report for 2014, in the Report of the Board of Directors and in the
