Kemira Oyj's Annual General Meeting will be held today at 1 p.m. in Marina Congress Center, Helsinki. The language of the meeting will be Finnish.
President and CEO Lasse Kurkilahti will reiterate the outlook for 2007 published in the financial statement bulletin for 2006. Kemira Group expects to continue its growth in 2007, as a result of both the previous acquisitions and organic growth. Raw material and energy prices as well as transportation costs are projected to behave more moderately than in 2006. Full-year revenue, operating profit, and earnings per share for 2007 are expected to show an increase from 2006 levels.
President and CEO Kurkilahti's presentation materials for the Annual General Meeting will be available in both Finnish and English on the company's website at www.kemira.com, after the presentation has begun.
