CEO PEKKA OJANPÄÄ:
'Economic recession still decreases demand in the industrial sector and
material flows in the construction and retail sectors and has a negative impact
on the demand for the services in the Facility Services division. Thanks to
operational efficiency, the Environmental Services division's comparable net
sales and profitability improved in the first months of the year. In Industrial
Services, too, we were able to grow and improve profitability during the first
half of the year. In Facility Services and Renewable Energy Sources, we
continued to improve the efficiency of operations in a challenging operating
environment. We were able to improve the Group's profitability year-on-year.
However, due to lower demand, it will not be possible to accumulate similar net
sales and operating profit during the second half of the year as we did last
year.'

million. Operating profit totalled EUR 9.3 million (EUR 9.1 million) and

from the Latvian business operations that were divested during the first
quarter of 2014.

20.0 million), showing a decrease of 1.5%. Operating profit totalled EUR 1.9
million (EUR 1.9 million) and operating profit excluding non-recurring items
was EUR 2.0 million (EUR 1.9 million).
Demand for process cleaning was strong. In all other service lines the net

as a result of the good profitability of hazardous waste services.

million (EUR 33.7 million), showing an increase of 5.8%. Operating profit
totalled EUR 1.8 million (EUR 1.4 million) and operating profit excluding
non-recurring items was EUR 1.9 million (EUR 1.4 million).
Net sales increased in all of the division's service lines, first and foremost
thanks to good demand in the first quarter.
The division was able to improve the profitability of its operations as a
result of efficiency improvement measures and increasing volume.
Facility Services
Second quarter
The division's net sales for the second quarter were down by 6.9% to EUR 68.3
million (EUR 73.4 million). Operating profit totalled EUR 2.1 million (EUR 2.8
million). Operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 2.2 million
(EUR 2.9 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 weaker demand for services in the cleaning and property maintenance
businesses.
The profitability of the division was weakened by lower demand for services in
the cleaning and property maintenance businesses and by the weak profitability
of damage repair services. Property maintenance was able to improve its
profitability year-on-year.
January-June
The Facility Services division's net sales for January-June decreased by 7.9%
to EUR 137.4 million (EUR 149.2 million). Operating profit totalled EUR 2.6
million (EUR 3.3 million). Operating profit excluding non-recurring items was

The division's net sales declined year-on-year, due to business downsizing in
Sweden and lower than normal demand for seasonal work in property maintenance
during the first months of the year.
The profitability of the division was weakened by lower demand for services in
the cleaning and property maintenance businesses and by the weak profitability
of damage repair services.
Demand for the services of the division has declined, which has decreased both
the net sales and the profitability of the division. 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. The
benefits of the process will gradually start to materialise in the second half
of 2014.
Renewable Energy Sources
Second quarter
Second quarter net sales of Renewable Energy Sources (L&T Biowatti) were down
by 21.1% to EUR 10.3 million (EUR 13.0 million). Operating profit totalled EUR
0.3 million (EUR 0.1 million) and operating profit excluding non-recurring
items was EUR 0.3 million (operating loss EUR 0.1 million).

efficiency improvement measures, profitability improved year-on-year.

24.9% to EUR 26.1 million (EUR 34.8 million). Operating profit totalled EUR 1.1

FINANCING
Cash flows from operating activities amounted to EUR 27.3 million (EUR 44.4
million). A total of EUR 6.8 million in working capital was committed (EUR 9.7

million (EUR 89.0 million).
Net interest-bearing liabilities amounted to EUR 80.2 million, showing an
increase of EUR 15.8 million from the beginning of the year and an increase of

Net financial expenses in January-June amounted to EUR 17.6 million (EUR 1.0

under the L&T Recoil Oy guarantee commitment.

SUMMARY OF STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASES PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 4, CHAPTER 6 OF THE
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
March 2014, the company announced that the divestment of the business
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,
approximately 950 employees transferred to Bioinvest.
In a release published on 21 March 2014, the company announced that it had been
informed that the financiers of the EcoStream Group had called in a loan
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.
EVENTS AFTER THE REVIEW PERIOD
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.
NEAR-TERM RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Economic uncertainty may result in major changes in Environmental Services'
secondary raw material markets and in demand for Facility Services and
Industrial Services.
Uncertainties associated with government subsidies for renewable fuels and with
the continuity of such subsidies may affect demand for the services of
Renewable Energy Sources.
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
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.
