Hexagon's outlook for the year remains

In response to the sharp fall in Hexagon's share price on Friday, Hexagon
clarifies that its outlook for the year is unchanged.

Hexagon has seen a slowdown in September in construction related industries in
Germany and France. It is too early to determine how Hexagon will be affected by
the construction market's development.

”We are not immune to the market's development. However, by gaining market share
and launching new products we can influence our development relative to the
development we see on construction related markets in Western Europe”, says Ola
Rollén, CEO and President of Hexagon AB.

Hexagon's outlook for 2008 to increase earnings per share by 15 per cent remains
unchanged.
