CEO PEKKA OJANPÄÄ:
“The economic recession and challenging market situation slowed down the
development of our business throughout the year. Nevertheless, our net sales
increased, primarily due to strategically targeted acquisitions. Operating
profit excluding non-recurring items decreased slightly from the previous year,
mainly due to the weak development of the Facility Services division’s result.
The development of the Facility Services division’s profitability has been
substantially below our expectations, and we will continue to implement
measures to improve the efficiency of its operations. Our other divisions
achieved a good result in 2015, considering the market situation. In addition,
our cash flow from operating activities was strong. Economic growth in Finland
is expected to remain slow in 2016. In the prevailing economic climate, our
focus remains on strengthening our market position and ensuring profitability
and cash flow through the development of our business operations and by
targeted business acquisitions”.
GROUP NET SALES AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
October–December
Lassila & Tikanoja’s net sales for the final quarter increased by 1.8%
year-on-year, to EUR 165.2 million (EUR 162.3 million). Operating profit was
EUR 9.7 million (EUR 14.0 million). Operating profit excluding non-recurring
items was EUR 11.3 million (EUR 13.2 million), representing 6.8% (8.1%) of net
sales. Earnings per share were EUR 0.18 (EUR 0.21).
In the final quarter, net sales grew particularly in Facility Services due to
acquisitions. Net sales also grew slightly in Industrial Services. In
Environmental Services and Renewable Energy Sources, however, net sales
decreased due to lower service demand and the lower prices of secondary raw
materials.
The decline in the Group’s operating profit excluding non-recurring items was
mainly attributable to the weaker result of the Environmental Services
division, which was due to the lower volumes of recyclable materials as well as
the lower market prices of secondary raw materials. Operating profit excluding
non-recurring items also decreased in other divisions.
The final quarter’s operating profit was reduced by restructuring costs of EUR
1.6 million, primarily in Facility Services.
Year 2015
Lassila & Tikanoja’s net sales for 2015 increased by 1.0% year-on-year, to EUR
646.3 million (EUR 639.7 million). Operating profit was EUR 49.9 million (EUR
48.5 million). Operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 52.5
million (EUR 53.8 million), representing 8.1% (8.4%) of net sales. Earnings per
share were EUR 0.98 (EUR 0.47).
Net sales grew in Facility Services and Environmental Services, primarily due
to acquisitions. The net sales of Industrial Services and Renewable Energy
Sources decreased due to lower service demand.
Operating profit excluding non-recurring items decreased from the previous
year, primarily due to the weak development of the Facility Services division’s
result. Operating profit excluding non-recurring items also decreased in
Industrial Services. Operating profit excluding non-recurring items increased
significantly in Renewable Energy Sources and slightly in Environmental
Services.

** Proposal by the Board of Directors
NET SALES AND OPERATING PROFIT BY DIVISION
Environmental Services
October–December
The division’s net sales for the final quarter decreased by 0.9% to EUR 64.2
million (EUR 64.8 million). Operating profit was EUR 7.4 million (EUR 10.8
million) and operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 7.6 million
(EUR 9.0 million).
The factors contributing to the division’s decreased net sales were the lower
demand and price of services produced for municipal waste management companies.
The demand for waste management and recycling services also declined in Russia.
In the environmental products business, net sales decreased due to the
discontinuation of certain products.
The Environmental Services division’s operating profit excluding non-recurring
items decreased due to the lower volume of recyclable materials at recycling
plants and the decreased market prices of secondary raw materials.
Year 2015
The Environmental Services division’s net sales for 2015 amounted to EUR 256.5
million (EUR 254.5 million), showing an increase of 0.8%. Operating profit was
EUR 35.8 million (EUR 37.3 million) and operating profit excluding
non-recurring items was EUR 36.1 million (EUR 35.9 million).
The division’s full-year net sales increased primarily due to acquisitions. Net
sales decreased in Russia due to lower demand and the depreciation of the
rouble. In the environmental products business, net sales decreased due to the
discontinuation of certain products.
The division’s operating profit excluding non-recurring items was slightly
better than in the comparison period. The profitability of the recycling
business improved early in the year but, towards the end of the review period,
operating profit was decreased by the lower volume of recyclable materials at
recycling plants and the decreased market prices of secondary raw materials.
The division’s profitability was also 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.
Industrial Services
October–December
The division’s net sales for the final quarter increased by 0.2% to EUR 20.3
million (EUR 20.3 million). Operating profit was EUR 1.8 million (EUR 1.6
million) and operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 1.8 million
(EUR 2.1 million).
The demand for process cleaning services was very strong in the final quarter,
which supported the net sales of the division as a whole. Demand also grew
year-on-year in sewer maintenance services.
The demand for hazardous waste services and the price of waste oil remained at
a low level, which had a negative impact on net sales and operating profit.
Profitability also declined in environmental construction. In sewer
maintenance, the operating result improved significantly due to previously
implemented adaptation measures. Profitability improved in process cleaning due
to strong demand.
Year 2015
The Industrial Services division’s net sales for 2015 amounted to EUR 77.0
million (EUR 77.8 million), showing a decrease of 1.0%. Operating profit was
EUR 6.8 million (EUR 6.5 million) and operating profit excluding non-recurring
items was EUR 6.8 million (EUR 7.1 million).
The division’s net sales were weighed down by the low demand for hazardous
waste management in the second half of the year. In sewer maintenance, net
sales decreased due to the closure of unprofitable units. The demand for
process cleaning services remained strong almost throughout the year, and net
sales also grew in environmental construction.
The division’s operating profit excluding non-recurring items was reduced by
the low demand for hazardous waste management and the low price of waste oil.
The operating result of the sewer maintenance business improved significantly
due to adaptation measures implemented earlier in the year. Profitability also
improved in process cleaning due to strong demand.
Facility Services
October–December
The division’s net sales for the final quarter increased by 4.3% to EUR 71.7
million (EUR 68.8 million). Operating profit was EUR 1.0 million (EUR 1.7
million). Operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 2.5 million
(EUR 2.6 million).
The technical systems maintenance business saw continued strong growth
supported by organic sales growth and acquisitions made earlier in the year.
The operating profit of technical systems maintenance nevertheless showed a
loss, which had a negative impact on the division’s operating profit.
Service demand grew in cleaning and property maintenance. The net sales of the
renovation business (previously referred to as damage repair services)
continued to decline as a result of the low number of damage incidents and the
implementation of adaptation measures.
The profitability of property maintenance improved significantly year-on-year,
and the operating loss of the renovation business was reduced due to
restructuring measures. The division’s operating profit was reduced by the loss
recorded by the maintenance of technical systems business as well as the weaker
profitability of cleaning services.
The final quarter’s operating profit was reduced by restructuring costs of EUR
1.5 million.
Year 2015
The Facility Services division’s net sales for 2015 grew by 3.0% to EUR 282.9
million (EUR 274.7 million). Operating profit was EUR 8.1 million (EUR 10.6
million). Operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 10.5 million
(EUR 11.7 million).
Demand improved from the comparison period in the property maintenance and
cleaning businesses, but the net sales of cleaning services in Sweden declined.
The technical systems maintenance business saw strong growth throughout the
year, supported by organic sales growth and acquisitions. The operating profit
of technical systems maintenance nevertheless showed a loss. Profitability also
declined in the cleaning business, with the result negatively affected by
start-up costs related to several major contracts as well as the weaker
profitability of the cleaning business in Sweden. Profitability improved
significantly in property maintenance.
In the renovation business, demand declined throughout the year. 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
adaptation measures significantly reduced the operating loss excluding
non-recurring items.
Renewable Energy Sources
October–December
Final quarter net sales of Renewable Energy Sources (L&T Biowatti) were down by
1.8% to EUR 11.7 million (EUR 12.0 million). Operating profit was EUR 0.3
million (EUR 1.0 million) and operating profit excluding non-recurring items
was EUR 0.3 million (EUR 0.6 million).
The division’s net sales declined due to the low demand for biofuels and lower
electricity prices. Operating profit was negatively affected by impairment
recognised on the inventory of raw material in the final quarter.
Year 2015
The net sales of Renewable Energy Sources (L&T Biowatti) in 2015 declined by
10.9% to EUR 39.4 million (EUR 44.2 million). Operating profit was EUR 2.1
million (EUR 1.6 million) and operating profit excluding non-recurring items
was EUR 2.1 million (EUR 1.4 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 significantly due to efficiency
improvement measures and the good energy content of fuels.

FINANCING
Cash flow from operating activities increased to EUR 89.8 million (EUR 79.6
million) due to the release of working capital. A total of EUR 9.5 million in
working capital was released (EUR 2.2 million released).
At the end of the period, interest-bearing liabilities amounted to EUR 95.8
million (EUR 96.0 million).
Net interest-bearing liabilities amounted to EUR 41.8 million (EUR 52.0
million), showing a decrease of EUR 6.3 million from the previous quarter and a
decrease of EUR 10.2 million from the comparison period.
Net financial expenses in 2015 amounted to EUR 2.2 million (EUR 21.9 million).
Net financial expenses were 0.3% (3.4%) 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 34.9 million will mature in 2016.
The equity ratio was 46.5% (46.3%) and the gearing rate was 19.8 (25.2). Liquid
assets at the end of the period amounted to EUR 54.0 million (EUR 44.0
million).
Of the EUR 100 million commercial paper programme, EUR 0 (EUR 0) 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

EUR 0.75 per share be paid on the basis of the balance sheet that was adopted
for the financial year 2014. The dividend, totalling EUR 29.0 million, was paid
to shareholders on 27 March 2015.

Finland and 893 (754) in other countries.
PROPOSAL FOR THE DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS
According to the financial statements, Lassila & Tikanoja plc's unrestricted
equity amounts to EUR 97,547,601.44, with the operating profit for the period
representing EUR 51,410,401.98. 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 a dividend
of EUR 0.85 per share be paid for the financial year 2015.
The dividend is paid to shareholders included in the company shareholder
register maintained by Euroclear Finland Oy on the record date, 21 March 2016.
The Board proposes to the Annual General Meeting that the dividend be paid on
30 March 2016.
No dividend shall be paid on shares held by the company on the record date of
21 March 2016.
On the day the proposal for the distribution of assets was made, the number of
shares entitling to dividend was 38,361,153, which means the total amount of
the dividend would be EUR 32,606,980.05.
Earnings per share amounted to EUR 0.98. The proposed dividend, EUR 0.85 per
share, is 86.5% of the earnings per share.
L&T’s online Annual Report, which includes the report by the Board of Directors
and the financial statements for 2015, will be published in the week starting
on 22 February 2016 at www.lassila-tikanoja.fi/annualreport2015.
