CEO PEKKA OJANPÄÄ:
'As expected, the economic recession has decreased material flows in the
industrial, construction and retail sectors. The general economic situation has
also had a negative effect on the demand for services in the Facility Services
division. The comparable net sales of Environmental Services, however, grew due
to successful sales work and a strengthened market position. In Industrial
Services, we achieved growth and improved profitability in spite of the market
situation, primarily on the strength of high demand for process cleaning. In
Facility Services and Renewable Energy Sources, we continued to improve the
efficiency of operations. In line with our strategy, our focus in the
prevailing economic situation is on strengthening our market position and
ensuring profitability and cash flow. Our relative profitability has continued
to improve this year.'

0.2 million write-down on inventories of discontinued business operations. The
total write-down for Renewable Energy Sources was EUR 0.7 million.

million (EUR 65.4 million). Operating profit totalled EUR 10.7 million (EUR
11.9 million) and operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 10.6
million (EUR 11.9 million).
Comparable net sales increased by 3.7% due to successful sales work and a
strengthened market position. Demand continued to grow in waste management and
Russian operations.
The net sales of the comparison period includes EUR 3.1 million of net sales
from the Latvian business operations that were divested on 13 March 2014.
The profitability of business operations was affected by the declining volumes
of recyclable materials and construction waste, and the weakened profitability
of municipal contracts.
January-September
The Environmental Services division's net sales for January-September amounted
to EUR 189.7 million (EUR 192.2 million), showing a decrease of 1.3%. Operating
profit was EUR 26.5 million (EUR 27.2 million) and operating profit excluding
non-recurring items was EUR 26.9 million (EUR 27.2 million).
Demand in the recycling business was weakened by the decrease in the volume of
recyclable materials, due to the market conditions. Demand grew particularly in
waste management and Russian operations.
Comparable net sales increased by 2.4%. The net sales of the comparison period
includes EUR 8.9 million of net sales from the Latvian business operations that
were divested on 13 March 2014.
The profitability of business operations was affected by the declining volumes
of recyclable materials and construction waste, and the weakened profitability
of municipal contracts.
Industrial Services
Third quarter
The division's net sales for the third quarter totalled EUR 21.8 million (EUR
20.9 million), showing an increase of 4.1%. Operating profit was EUR 3.1
million (EUR 2.3 million) and operating profit excluding non-recurring items
was EUR 3.1 million (EUR 2.6 million).
There was strong demand for the services of process cleaning and hazardous
waste management. Net sales decreased in sewer maintenance and environmental
construction.
Operating profit excluding non-recurring items increased substantially after
profitability improved across all service lines.
January-September
The Industrial Services division's net sales for January-September totalled EUR
57.5 million (EUR 54.7 million), showing an increase of 5.2%. Operating profit
was EUR 4.9 million (EUR 3.7 million) and operating profit excluding
non-recurring items was EUR 4.9 million (EUR 4.0 million).
Net sales increased in hazardous waste management, sewer maintenance and
process cleaning. Environmental construction was the only service line in which
net sales were lower than in the comparison period.
The division improved the profitability of its operations as a result of
efficiency improvement measures and increasing volume.
Facility Services
Third quarter
The division's net sales for the third quarter were down by 4.2% to EUR 68.6
million (EUR 71.6 million). Operating profit and operating profit excluding
non-recurring items were EUR 6.3 million (EUR 6.7 million).
The division's net sales declined year-on-year, due to business downsizing in
Sweden and low demand for damage repair services. In addition, net sales was
impacted by lower demand for services in the cleaning and property maintenance
businesses. Demand for maintenance of technical systems, however, was strong.
The profitability of the division was decreased by the weaker profitability of
cleaning and, in particular, damage repair services. Property maintenance and
maintenance of technical systems improved their profitability year-on-year.
January-September
The Facility Services division's net sales for January-September decreased by
6.7% to EUR 206.0 million (EUR 220.8 million). Operating profit totalled EUR
8.9 million (EUR 10.0 million). Operating profit excluding non-recurring items
was EUR 9.0 million (EUR 10.4 million).
The division's net sales declined year-on-year, due to business downsizing in
Sweden and lower than normal demand for damage repair services and seasonal
work in property maintenance.
The profitability of the division decreased by the lower demand for services in
the cleaning and property maintenance businesses and by the weak profitability
of damage repair services.
Demand for the division's services has declined, which has decreased net sales
and profitability. The entire division is undergoing a major reorganisation
process in order to adapt operations to the changes in market conditions. This
affects the profitability of business operations.
Renewable Energy Sources
Third quarter
Third quarter net sales of Renewable Energy Sources (L&T Biowatti) were down by
17.3% to EUR 6.1 million (EUR 7.4 million). The operating loss totalled EUR 0.5
million (operating loss EUR 0.2 million) and the operating loss excluding
non-recurring items was EUR 0.3 million (operating loss EUR 0.4 million).
The decrease in net sales was attributable to the delayed start to the heating
season in Northern Finland. As a result of efficiency improvement measures,
operational efficiency improved year-on-year.
Operating profit excluding non-recurring items nevertheless showed a loss due
to a write-down of EUR 0.4 million on the company's inventories and a
non-recurring EUR 0.2 million write-down on inventories of discontinued
business operations. The total write-down for Renewable Energy Sources was EUR
0.7 million.
January-September
The net sales of Renewable Energy Sources (L&T Biowatti) in January-September
were down by 23.6% to EUR 32.2 million (EUR 42.2 million). Operating profit
totalled EUR 0.6 million (EUR 0.9 million) and operating profit excluding
non-recurring items was EUR 0.8 million (EUR 0.5 million).
The decrease in net sales is primarily attributable to the short heating season
early in the year and the downsizing of operations in Eastern Finland. As a
result of efficiency improvement measures, relative profitability improved
year-on-year. Operating profit excluding non-recurring items was affected by a
write-down of EUR 0.4 million on the company's inventories and a non-recurring
EUR 0.2 million write-down on inventories of discontinued business operations.
The total write-down for Renewable Energy Sources was EUR 0.7 million.

FINANCING
Cash flows from operating activities amounted to EUR 49.1 million (EUR 61.1
million). A total of EUR 9.4 million in working capital was committed (EUR 0.5
million released). The principal reason behind working capital commitment was
the increase in trade receivables.

million (EUR 87.4 million).
Net interest-bearing liabilities amounted to EUR 64.3 million, largely
unchanged from the beginning of the year and down EUR 1.0 million year-on-year.
Net financial expenses in January-September amounted to EUR 18.5 million (EUR
2.1 million). Net financial expenses were 3.9% (0.4%) of net sales. The
increase in net financial expenses was due to the EUR 16.7 million payment made
under the L&T Recoil Oy guarantee commitment.
The average interest rate on long-term loans (with interest-rate hedging) was
1.7% (2.2%). Long-term loans totalling EUR 4.1 million will mature during the

assets at the end of the period amounted to EUR 35.3 million (EUR 22.1

SECURITIES MARKET ACT
In a release published on 3 March 2014, the company announced that Lassila &
Tikanoja and Bioinvest SIA have signed an agreement on the sale of L&T's
business operations in Latvia to Bioinvest SIA. In a release published on 13

operations had been completed. The total net sales of the divested business
operations amount to approximately EUR 16 million, most of which is allocated
to the Environmental Services division. As a result of the divestment,

granted to L&T Recoil Oy, part of the EcoStream Group. In addition, the company
announced that it had received a claim from the financing banks to pay
approximately EUR 16.7 million on the basis of a loan guarantee commitment
associated with L&T Recoil Oy's loans.
Lassila & Tikanoja's total risk associated with the EcoStream Group, including
the above guarantee commitment, is approximately EUR 23.4 million as announced
earlier. Of this amount, the above guarantee commitment of approximately EUR
16.7 million has an effect on cash flow.
On 30 April 2014, the company announced that it had received information
according to which the District Prosecutor for Helsinki had decided to drop the
charges against the company's President and CEO Pekka Ojanpää and eight other
current and former members of Lassila & Tikanoja's management staff who were
accused of offences related to occupational health and safety and working hours
legislation. The corporate fine and claim for advantage received remained in
force against the company.
On 3 July 2014, the company published a press release announcing that the
Helsinki District Court has exonerated Lassila & Tikanoja from summary penal
orders related to overtime work offences. The corporate fine claim presented by
the prosecutor was dropped and the Finnish State was obligated to compensate
the company for the legal costs of the case. According to the Court, the
guidelines and monitoring systems of the company have been adequate and the
safety or health of the employees had not been jeopardised.
The District Court considered five of the company's current or former
supervisors to be guilty of offences related to working hours legislation.
Three of them were sentenced to pay 8-15 unit fines and two were left without a
sentence by reason of the triviality of the criminal act.
On 1 August 2014, the company announced a change to its outlook. Lassila &
Tikanoja's net sales in 2014 are expected to remain at the 2013 level or
slightly below. Operating profit excluding non-recurring items is expected to
remain at the 2013 level or slightly below.
Previously, the company estimated that comparable net sales in 2014 would
remain at the 2013 level and operating profit excluding non-recurring items
would remain at the 2013 level or improve slightly.
On 28 August 2014, the company announced that the Finnish Financial Supervisory
Authority had approved Lassila & Tikanoja plc's base prospectus pursuant to the
Securities Markets Act, and that the company was considering the issuance of a
senior unsecured bond based on the base prospectus.

Industrial Services at Lassila & Tikanoja plc and member of the Group Executive
Board will leave the company at his own request by the end of 2014, and that
recruitment for a new Vice President has already begun.

pursuant to section 5, chapter 9, of the Securities Markets Act from Nordea
Funds Ltd, announcing that its current holding of the shares and votes in

senior unsecured bond. The bond matures on 15 September 2019 and carries a

On 17 September 2014, the company announced that the Finnish Financial
Supervisory Authority has approved the listing prospectus of the bond, which is

www.lassila-tikanoja.com/investors.
On 30 September 2014, the company issued a stock exchange release on its

strategy and its implementation.
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.
During the last quarter of the year 2014, the company will review its inventory
valuation model for Renewable Energy Sources in relation to system changes.
Potential changes to the valuation model may affect inventory values and the
company's result.
More detailed information on L&T's risks and risk management is available in
the Annual Report for 2013, in the Report of the Board of Directors and in the
consolidated financial statements.
OUTLOOK FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR
