Matti Hyytiäinen, President and CEO of Etteplan Oyj, comments on the interim
report as follows:
”Decline in demand for design services ceased in the end of the third quarter of
the year and stabilized on lower than usual level.
Our customers have reorganized their operations to ensure profitable business
preconditions in the current market situation. For Etteplan this meant increased
market share as customers concentrated their design services procurement.
During the third quarter we signed a number of new contracts in which the work
will be done in our Chinese units. With this operating model we offer our
customers significant cost savings in technical design and product information.
During the period under review, a number of customers commenced preparatory
measures to start new product development projects. Among medical technology
equipment manufacturers' new product development projects commenced and it
showed as an increase in the number of assignments. During the third quarter of
the year tender activity in our delivery design services was more active
compared to the beginning of the year.
Measures, which we commenced during the spring, to adjust design capacity to the
current market situation as well as lightening of cost structure continued
successfully. These development measures will be concluded during the last
quarter of the year, and as a result of these measures our service ability and
competitiveness will further improve. These measures will also positively affect
our current financial position.”

Basis for preparation
The interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 (Interim

Revised IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements: Amendments have been made
to the presentation of the income statement and statement of changes in equity.
Monetary figures in the interim report are presented in thousands of euros. All
figures in the tables have been rounded up or down, due to which the sums of
figures may deviate from the sum totals presented.
In interim report the accounting principles used were the same as for the 2008
annual financial statements. The annual financial statements are available at
http://etteplan.smartpage.fi/en/annualreport08/, and the accounting policy is
detailed on pages 28-33 of the annual report 2008.
Income taxes
The taxes listed in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income have been
calculated with the tax rate appropriate for the projected full-year result. The
estimated average effective tax rate for the year has been set separately for
each relevant country. The effective tax rate used in the interim report is 28.1
%.
