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.”

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.
