LASSILA & TIKANOJA PLC COMPANY ANNOUNCEMENT 22 JULY 2008 9.55 am
The full-year operating profit excluding non-recurring and imputed items is estimated to be somewhat lower than in the previous year. Previously the company estimated that the full-year financial performance will remain at the same level as in the previous year.
The performance is burdened by general increase in costs and especially the rise in fuel prices, which will be transferred to sales prices with a delay.
Lassila & Tikanoja’s operating profit excluding non-recurring and imputed items for the second quarter was EUR 11.3 million (2007: EUR 13.8 million).
Interim report for the period 1 January – 30 June 2008 will be released on 29 July at 8.00 am.
