CEO PEKKA OJANPÄÄ:

“The economic recession has slowed down the development of the business
throughout the year, and during the summer the market situation again took a
turn for the worse. In spite of this, our net sales increased, primarily due to
strategically targeted acquisitions. Profitability in the third quarter was at
the same level as in the corresponding period last year. Profitability was
supported by good cost control. The development of the Facility Services
division’s profitability has been substantially below our expectations, and we
will continue to implement restructuring measures. 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

Third quarter
Lassila & Tikanoja’s net sales for the third quarter increased by 0.9% to EUR
159.6 million (EUR 158.1 million). Operating profit totalled EUR 19.3 million
(EUR 19.4 million). Operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 19.5
million (EUR 19.7 million), representing 12.2% (12.4%) of net sales. Earnings
per share were EUR 0.38 (EUR 0.39).

In the third quarter, net sales grew particularly in Facility Services due to
acquisitions. Net sales also grew slightly in Environmental Services, also due
to acquisitions. Net sales declined in Industrial Services and Renewable Energy
Sources.

Operating profit excluding non-recurring items improved in Environmental
Services due to acquisitions and good operational efficiency. The favourable
profitability development of Renewable Energy Sources continued due to the good
energy content of the division’s fuels. In Facility Services, operating profit
excluding non-recurring items declined due to the loss-making result of the
technical systems maintenance business and the lower profitability of cleaning
services. In Industrial Services, profitability was weakened by the low demand
for hazardous waste management services, as well as the lower price of waste
oil.

January-September
Lassila & Tikanoja’s net sales for January-September amounted to EUR 481.1
million (EUR 477.4 million), an increase of 0.8%. Operating profit totalled EUR
40.2 million (EUR 34.5 million). Operating profit excluding non-recurring items
was EUR 41.2 million (EUR 40.6 million), representing 8.6% (8.5%) of net sales.
Earnings per share were EUR 0.80 (EUR 0.25).

Net sales grew in Facility Services and Environmental Services, primarily due
to acquisitions. The net sales of the Industrial Services and Renewable Energy
Sources divisions decreased due to lower demand.

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

Operating profit excluding non-recurring items increased in all divisions
except Facility Services. The Group recognised non-recurring restructuring
costs of EUR 1.0 million related to the damage repair services business. The
company continued to adapt the damage repair services business to the weakened
market situation.

NET SALES AND OPERATING PROFIT BY DIVISION

Environmental Services

Third quarter
The division’s net sales for the third quarter increased by 0.2% to EUR 64.7
million (EUR 64.6 million). Operating profit was EUR 11.0 million (EUR 10.7
million) and operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 11.1
million (EUR 10.6 million).

The division’s net sales increased in waste management and the recycling
business, mainly due to acquisitions. Lower demand in Russia for waste
management, recycling services and environmental products, as well as
fluctuations in the rouble exchange rate had a negative effect on net sales. In
the environmental product business, net sales decreased due to structural
changes implemented in line with strategy.

The division’s operating profit excluding non-recurring items improved due to
good operational efficiency and profits from acquired businesses . Operating
profit was weighed down by the lower volume of recyclable materials in
recycling plants and the lower price of secondary raw materials.

January-September
The Environmental Services division’s net sales for January-September increased
by 1.3% and amounted to EUR 192.2 million (EUR 189.7 million). Operating profit
was EUR 28.4 million (EUR 26.5 million) and operating profit excluding
non-recurring items was EUR 28.5 million (EUR 26.9 million).

The division’s net sales increased in waste management and the recycling
business, mainly due to acquisitions. Net sales in Russia decreased due to
lower demand and fluctuations in the rouble exchange rate. In the environmental
products business, net sales decreased due to the discontinuation of certain
products.

Profitability was weighed down by additional maintenance shutdowns in the
second quarter at the recycling plants in Turku and Kerava, which resulted in
lower waste processing volumes at the two plants. The division’s operating
profit nevertheless increased thanks to the improved profitability of the
recycling business in the first half of the year but, towards the end of the
review period, operating profit was negatively impacted by the lower volume of
recyclable materials at the recycling plants and the lower price of secondary
raw materials.

Industrial Services

Third quarter
The division’s net sales for the third quarter were down by 3.5% to EUR 21.0
million (EUR 21.8 million). Operating profit and operating profit excluding
non-recurring items were EUR 2.9 million (EUR 3.1 million).

The low demand for hazardous waste management and sewer maintenance services
had a negative impact on the division’s net sales. In sewer maintenance, net
sales decreased also due to the closure of unprofitable units. The demand for
process cleaning services remained strong in the third quarter, and net sales
also grew in environmental construction.

The low demand for hazardous waste management services and the low price of
waste oil had a negative effect on operating profit. In sewer maintenance, the
operating result improved significantly thanks to previously implemented
restructuring measures. Profitability improved in process cleaning due to
strong demand.

January-September
The Industrial Services division’s net sales for January-September amounted to
EUR 56.7 million (EUR 57.5 million), showing a decrease of 1.4%. Operating
profit and operating profit excluding non-recurring items were EUR 5.0 million
(EUR 4.9 million).

The division’s net sales were weighed down by the low demand for hazardous
waste management in the third quarter. In sewer maintenance, net sales
decreased due to the closure of unprofitable units. Demand for process cleaning
was strong in the second and third quarters, and net sales also grew in
environmental construction.

The operating result of the sewer maintenance business improved significantly
due to restructuring measures implemented during the first half of the year.
Profitability also improved in process cleaning due to strong demand. The low
demand for hazardous waste management services and the low price of waste oil
had a negative impact on operating profit.

Facility Services

Third quarter
The division’s net sales for the third quarter increased by 2.8% to EUR 70.5
million (EUR 68.6 million). Operating profit totalled EUR 4.9 million (EUR 6.3
million). Operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 5.0 million
(EUR 6.3 million).

The technical systems maintenance business saw continued strong growth
supported by organic sales growth and acquisitions, but the business
nevertheless recorded a loss.

Service demand increased in the property maintenance and cleaning businesses.
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
restructuring measures.

Profitability declined in cleaning services and property maintenance. The
result of the cleaning business was weighed down by several large-scale
customer start-ups. The operating loss of the damage repair services business
was significantly reduced due to restructuring measures implemented by the
Group.


January-September
The Facility Services division’s net sales for January-September increased by
2.6% and amounted to EUR 211.3 million (EUR 206.0 million). Operating profit
totalled EUR 7.0 million (EUR 8.9 million). Operating profit excluding
non-recurring items was EUR 8.0 million (EUR 9.0 million).

Demand improved from the comparison period in the property maintenance and
cleaning businesses. The net sales of the cleaning business in Sweden declined.
The technical systems maintenance business saw continued strong growth
supported by organic sales growth and acquisitions, but the business
nevertheless recorded a loss. Profitability also declined in cleaning services
and property maintenance. The result of the cleaning business was weighed down
by several large-scale customer start-ups and the slightly weaker profitability
of Swedish operations.

Demand continued to decline in damage repair services. The Group closed down
unprofitable business locations in the first half of the year, which affected
the entire division’s net sales and operating profit. The restructuring
measures significantly reduced the operating loss excluding non-recurring
items.

The company will continue to adapt the damage repair services business to the
prevailing market situation. The Group recognised non-recurring restructuring
costs of EUR 1.0 million related to the damage repair services business.

Renewable Energy Sources

Third quarter
Third quarter net sales of Renewable Energy Sources (L&T Biowatti) were down by
9.0% to EUR 5.6 million (EUR 6.1 million). Operating profit totalled EUR 0.6
million (operating loss EUR 0.5 million) and operating profit excluding
non-recurring items was EUR 0.6 million (operating loss EUR 0.3 million).

The division’s net sales declined mainly due to the low demand for biofuels.
The division’s profitability improved due to the good energy content of its
fuels and the measures taken to improve operational efficiency.

January-September
The net sales of Renewable Energy Sources (L&T Biowatti) in January-September
were down by 14.3% to EUR 27.6 million (EUR 32.2 million). Operating profit
totalled EUR 1.8 million (EUR 0.6 million) and operating profit excluding
non-recurring items was EUR 1.8 million (EUR 0.8 million).

The division’s net sales declined mainly due to the low demand for biofuels,
which resulted from the short heating season. Net sales were also decreased by
the continued refocusing of business operations on selected geographic areas in
line with strategy. Profitability improved due to efficiency improvement
measures and the good energy content of fuels.

million). A total of EUR 3.4 million in working capital was committed (EUR 9.4
million).

At the end of the period, interest-bearing liabilities amounted to EUR 99.9

Net financial expenses in January-September amounted to EUR 1.2 million (EUR
18.5 million). Net financial expenses were 0.2% (3.9%) 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 4.1 million will mature during the
rest of the year.

EVENTS AFTER THE REVIEW 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
consolidated financial statements.

OUTLOOK FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR
