GROUP NET SALES AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
Second quarter
Lassila & Tikanoja's net sales for the second quarter increased by 8.8% to EUR
162.2 million (EUR 149.0 million). Operating profit was EUR 8.9 million (EUR
8.8 million), representing 5.5% (5.9%) of net sales, and operating profit
excluding non-recurring items was EUR 9.7 million (EUR 11.8 million). Earnings
per share were EUR 0.19 (EUR 0.14).
With the exception of Renewable Energy Sources, all divisions reported net
sales growth, half of this growth being organic. Demand for Environmental
Services increased and the work load of Property Maintenance remained healthy.
Profitability weakened from the comparison period due to a temporary rise in
waste disposal costs and an increase in traffic fuel prices. A non-scheduled
maintenance shutdown at L&T Recoil's plant eroded profitability. Three
significant business acquisitions were concluded in the second quarter, which
involved integration costs. In addition, non-recurring restructuring costs of
EUR 0.8 million were recorded for the quarter.
The income tax rate for the quarter decreased following the Administrative
Court's decision on the tax deductibility of dissolution loss write-off; as a
result, EUR 1.6 million of deferred tax liabilities were recognised as income.
Consequently, earnings per share improved by EUR 0.04 per share.
January-June
Lassila & Tikanoja's net sales for January-June amounted to EUR 321.7 million
(EUR 302.9 million); an increase of 6.2%. Operating profit was EUR 15.3 million
(EUR 15.4 million), representing 4.8% (5.1%) of net sales, and operating profit
excluding non-recurring items was EUR 16.5 million (EUR 19.6 million). Earnings
per share were EUR 0.29 (EUR 0.25).
Net sales growth could be attributed to the higher demand for Environmental
Services, the healthy work load of Property Maintenance, and the acquisitions
made in the second quarter. In the first half of the year, more than half of
the growth was organic. Meanwhile, the sale of wood-based fuels failed to reach
the comparison period's level due to a suspension in the payment of electricity
production subsidy in the first quarter and the tough competition.
Higher salary, subcontracting and diesel oil costs eroded profitability in the
first half, while in the second quarter, performance was also affected by the
temporary rise in waste disposal costs as well as the integration of business
acquisitions.
In the comparison period, non-recurring costs of EUR 3.0 million were recorded
for the discontinuation of the wood pellet business.

NET SALES AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE BY DIVISION
Environmental Services
Second quarter
The division's net sales for the second quarter increased by 10.5% to EUR 83.5
million (EUR 75.6 million). Operating profit totalled EUR 9.2 million (EUR 10.1
million) and operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 9.2 million
(EUR 10.1 million).
The division's growth was primarily organic. Net sales grew particularly in
waste management and process cleaning thanks to larger waste volumes and
maintenance shutdown-related work. Similarly, the volumes of secondary raw
materials grew from the comparison period and prices remained at a healthy
level. The acquisition of Papros Oy, which was completed during the quarter,
strengthened the division's position in the recycled fibre markets.
The rising costs of waste transport and final disposal as well as the
non-scheduled maintenance shutdown at the L&T Recoil plant undermined the
division's profitability. The catalyst change in June required a prolonged
shutdown and kept production at a standstill for almost a month, which is why
the joint venture's result was clearly negative. The technical reliability of
the plant will be improved in connection with another maintenance-related
shutdown in September.
Net sales generated by the division's international operations remained
unchanged but profitability declined slightly from the comparison period.
During the quarter, several comprehensive service agreements were concluded in
the retail trade sector. The quarter also saw the successful market launch of a
new Managreen service model, which offers customers the ability to manage their
environmental management agreements and the related network partners.
January-June
The Environmental Services division's net sales for January-June amounted to
EUR 156.0 million (EUR 140.2 million), showing an increase of 11.2%. Operating
profit totalled EUR 13.4 million (EUR 14.5 million) and operating profit
excluding non-recurring items was EUR 13.4 million (EUR 14.9 million).
The division's net sales growth was primarily organic and could be attributed
to the growth of waste volumes and high demand for industrial cleaning
services. There was a significant rise in the demand for and volume and prices
of secondary raw materials (fibres, plastics, metals) compared to the same
period last year.
Operating rates of recycling plants were lower than planned and there was a
temporary increase in waste disposal related costs, which taxed profitability.
A steep increase in the price of diesel oil and higher production costs also
weakened the financial performance. The division had some problems adapting
process cleaning services to fluctuations in demand in the first half, but
extensive maintenance shutdown-related assignments in May-June were completed
as planned.
Although the net sales and the operating rate of the joint venture L&T Recoil's
re-refinery improved in the first half, production reliability and base oil
supply have still not reached a satisfactory level. A non-scheduled maintenance
shutdown in the second quarter resulted in a clearly negative result in the
first half.
The division's net sales and operating profit from international operations
declined slightly from the comparison period.
Cleaning and Office Support Services
Second quarter
The division's net sales for the second quarter totalled EUR 40.8 million (EUR
35.7 million); an increase of 14.2%. Operating profit totalled EUR 1.0 million
(EUR 2.2 million) and operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR
1.2 million (EUR 2.2 million).
Net sales in domestic operations grew from the comparison period, thanks
largely to business acquisitions (Hansalaiset). Sales of commissioned
assignments met expectations. Profitability declined from the comparison period
due to a rise in the general cost level and the integration costs associated
with the acquisitions. Due to the increased cost level, the division will
implement price hikes in the second half.
Net sales generated by international operations grew as a result of the
acquisition (Östgöta Städ) made in Sweden. Non-recurring restructuring costs of
EUR 0.2 million were recorded for Swedish operations, which limited the
operating profit.
January-June
The January-June net sales of Cleaning and Office Support Services increased by
7.5% to EUR 75.6 million (EUR 70.4 million). Operating profit totalled EUR 2.5
million (EUR 3.3 million) and operating profit excluding non-recurring items
was EUR 2.7 million (EUR 3.4 million). Net sales growth in the first half could be primarily attributed to the
acquisitions made in the second quarter. In Sweden, sales to new customers were
successful. Sales of commissioned assignments reached the set targets.
The start-up costs of new projects and higher than expected integration costs
associated with acquisitions eroded the division's profitability. In the
comparison period, the EUR 0.7 million credit loss recorded for Russian
operations restricted the operating profit.
Property Maintenance
Second quarter
The division's net sales for the second quarter increased by 9.9% to EUR 30.9
million (EUR 28.1 million). Operating profit totalled EUR 0.8 million (EUR 1.1
million) and operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 0.8 million
(EUR 1.1 million).
All services, damage repair services in particular, were able to grow their net
sales from the previous year. The work load of maintenance services for
technical systems also remained healthy. Nonetheless, the division's operating
profit weakened from the comparison period due to higher production costs. Due
to the increase in cost level, the division will implement price hikes in the
second half.
January-June
The division's net sales for January-June were up by 7.5% to EUR 69.8 million
(EUR 64.9 million). Operating profit totalled EUR 2.7 million (EUR 3.9 million)
and operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 2.7 million (EUR 4.0
million).
The division's net sales grew thanks to higher demand for maintenance services
for technical systems and a stronger work load of damage repair services.
The decrease in the division's operating profit could be attributed to the rise
in production costs and higher subcontracting and overtime costs. The
profitability of commissioned assignments was weaker than a year earlier.
Renewable Energy Sources
Second quarter
Second quarter net sales of Renewable Energy Sources (L&T Biowatti) were down
by 20.6% to EUR 9.6 million (EUR 12.1 million). Operating loss amounted to EUR
1.3 million (a loss of EUR 3.9 million), and operating loss excluding
non-recurring items was EUR 1.3 million (a loss of EUR 0.9 million).
Net sales generated by wood-based fuels declined from the comparison period due
to intense competition. Higher collection and logistics costs also eroded
profitability.
During the quarter, several new delivery agreements were signed for future
heating seasons, and reorganisational measures were taken to cut fixed costs.
In the comparison period, the non-recurring costs of EUR 3.0 million related to
the discontinuation of the wood pellet business reduced the operating profit.
January-June
January-June net sales of Renewable Energy Sources (L&T Biowatti) were down by
20.5% to EUR 25.6 million (EUR 32.2 million). Operating loss amounted to EUR
2.0 million (a loss of EUR 4.8 million), and operating loss excluding
non-recurring items was EUR 1.6 million (a loss of EUR 1.7 million).
In the first half of the year, power plant customers did not receive any
subsidy for electricity generation from forest processed chips. As a result of
the suspension in the payment of this subsidy, several power plants replaced
forest processed chips with fossil fuels.
A reorganisation programme was launched in the first half to improve the
division's competitiveness. The programme involves fixed cost cuts and
operational efficiency enhancement measures.

FINANCING
Cash flows from operating activities amounted to EUR 31.5 million (EUR 30.4
million). EUR 3.2 million was released from the working capital (EUR 2.1
million).
At the end of the period, interest-bearing liabilities amounted to EUR 154.5
million (EUR 112.6 million). In the comparison period, the assets and
liabilities of the joint venture L&T Recoil are presented as held-for-sale
assets and related liabilities, which is why the interest-bearing liabilities
associated with L&T Recoil, EUR 20.9 million, are not included in the
interest-bearing liabilities in the comparison period. Net interest-bearing
liabilities amounted to EUR 144.0 million, showing an increase of EUR 31.7
million from the beginning of the year.
Net finance costs in January-June amounted to EUR 2.2 million (EUR 2.0
million). Net finance costs were 0.7% (0.7%) of net sales. Long-term loans
totalling EUR 13.1 million will mature during the rest of the year. The average
interest rate on long-term loans (with interest-rate hedging) fell to 3.1%
(3.3%) despite the rise in general interest rate level.
The equity ratio was 42.0% (43.8%) and the gearing rate 67.6 (47.5). Liquid
assets at the end of the period amounted to EUR 10.5 million (EUR 14.4
million).
Of the EUR 50 million commercial paper programme, EUR 23.5 million (EUR 4.0
million) was in use. The EUR 15.0 million committed limit was not in use, as
was the case in the comparison period.
DIVIDEND
The Annual General Meeting held on 17 March 2011 resolved on a dividend of EUR
0.55 per share. The dividend, totalling EUR 21.3 million, was paid to the
shareholders on 29 March 2011.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURE
Capital expenditure totalled EUR 45.1 million (EUR 16.1 million), approximately
half of it consisting of acquisitions.
In the first quarter, Pentti Laurila Ky and businesses of Matti Hossi Ky and
PPT Luttinen Oy were acquired into Environmental Services. The business of
Kestosiivous Oy was acquired into Cleaning and Office Support Services and the
business of KH-Kiinteistöhuolto Oy was acquired into Property Maintenance.
In the second quarter, the Environmental Services division acquired Papros Oy
and Full House Oy. The Cleaning and Office Support Services division acquired
Savon Kiinteistöhuolto- ja Siivouspalvelu Oy, Varkauden Kiinteistönhoito ja
Siivouspalvelu Oy, Jo-Pe Huolto Oy, Östgöta Städ Ab and WTS-Palvelut Oy. The
Cleaning and Office Support Services and Property Maintenance divisions
acquired the Hansalaiset Oy group including its subsidiaries.

current number of shares. The 2008 options have been listed on NASDAQ OMX
Helsinki since 1 November 2010.
Share-based incentive programme
Lassila & Tikanoja plc's Board of Directors decided on 24 March 2009 on a
share-based incentive programme. The programme includes three earnings periods
one year each, of which the first one began on 1 January 2009 and the last one
ends on 31 December 2011. The basis for the determination of the reward is
decided annually. Rewards to be paid for the year 2011 will be based on the EVA
result of Lassila & Tikanoja group. They will be paid partly as shares and
partly in cash. The proportion paid in cash will cover taxes arising from the
reward. The programme covers 23 persons.
A maximum total of 180,000 Lassila & Tikanoja plc shares may be paid out on the
basis of the programme. The shares will be obtained in public trading, and
therefore the incentive programme will have no diluting effect on the share
value.
Shareholders
At the end of the financial period, the company had 9,498 (8,439) shareholders.
Nominee-registered holdings accounted for 12.2% (10.3%) of the total number of

Authorisation for the Board of Directors
The Annual General Meeting held on 31 March 2010 authorised Lassila & Tikanoja
plc's Board of Directors to make decisions on the repurchase of the company's
own shares using the company's unrestricted equity and on the issuance of these
shares. Shares will be repurchased otherwise than in proportion to the existing
shareholdings of the company's shareholders in public trading on the NASDAQ OMX
Helsinki Ltd at the market price quoted at the time of the repurchase.
The Board of Directors is authorised to repurchase and transfer a maximum of
500,000 company shares, which is 1.3% of the total number of shares. The
repurchase authorisation will be effective for 18 months and the share issue
authorisation for four years. These authorisations revoke the authorisation for
the repurchase of the company's own shares and the authorisation to issue
shares issued by the Annual General Meeting 2009.
The Board of Directors is not authorised to launch a convertible bond or share
option rights.
Own shares
On 5 April 2011, a total of 2,547 shares of Lassila & Tikanoja plc were

share-based incentive programme of 2009. At the end of the period, the company
held 63,305 of its own shares, representing 0.2% of all shares and votes.
RESOLUTIONS BY THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
The Annual General Meeting of Lassila & Tikanoja plc, which was held on 17
March 2011, adopted the financial statements for the financial year 2010 and
released the members of the Board of Directors and the President and CEO from
liability. The AGM resolved that a dividend of EUR 0.55 per share, a total of

The Annual General Meeting resolved on decreasing the share premium reserve by
EUR 50,672,564.52 by transferring all the funds in the share premium reserve to
the unrestricted equity reserve. The resolution was not registered at the
appointed time and therefore the arrangement cannot be implemented.

NEAR-TERM UNCERTAINTIES
General economic uncertainty may cause radical price changes in the secondary
raw material markets of the Environmental Services division.
Succeeding in the integration of the acquisitions concluded in the second
quarter will affect the performance in the second half.
L&T Recoil's production has not fully stabilised, and any further disturbances
in the plant's production could have a negative effect on the Environmental
Services division's performance. End-product and raw material price
fluctuations would have a major effect on L&T Recoil's performance.
The government support for renewable fuels will have a positive effect on the
demand for wood-based fuels in the future, but with some delay. Changes in the
prices of emission rights will affect the competitiveness of L&T Biowatti's
wood-based fuels.
More detailed information on L&T's risks and risk management is available in
the Annual Report, in the report of the Board of Directors, and in the
consolidated financial statements.
PROSPECTS FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR
In the Environmental Services division, the outlook for the remainder of the
year is largely stable. The secondary raw material price development and the
operational reliability of L&T Recoil's plant after the maintenance shutdown in
September will affect the division's profitability. In response to the rise in
costs, the division will implement price increases.
The markets for Cleaning and Office Support Services and for Property
Maintenance are expected to grow slowly. In response to the rise in costs, the
divisions will implement price increases.
The demand for L&T Biowatti's wood-based fuels is expected to strengthen. A
dynamic electricity generation subsidy for wood-based fuels was introduced at
the beginning of July.
Full-year net sales will grow slightly from 2010 and operating profit excluding
non-recurring items is expected to remain at the 2010 level.

* On 22 March 2011, L&T Hankinta Ky received a favourable decision from the
Administrative Court of Helsinki regarding its complaint on the tax
deductibility of dissolution loss write-off. As a result, on 30 June 2011 the
Group recognised EUR 1.6 million worth of deferred tax liabilities as income.
Consequently, earnings per share improved by EUR 0.04 per share.
** In the comparison period 6/2010, L&T Recoil's assets are recorded as assets
held for sale and related liabilities. The EUR 20.9 million interest-bearing
liabilities associated with L&T Recoil are not included in the interest-bearing
liabilities.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This interim report is in compliance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting
standard. The same accounting policies as in the annual financial statements
for the year 2010 have been applied. This interim report has been prepared in
accordance with the IFRS standards and interpretations as adopted by the EU.
The following amendments to standards that have become effective in 2010 have
had an impact on the interim report:
IFRS 3 (revised) Business Combinations
The revised standard continues to apply the acquisition method to business
combinations, with some significant changes. For example, all payments to
purchase a business are to be recorded at fair value at the acquisition date,
with contingent payments classified as debt subsequently re-measured through
the income statement. There is a choice on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis
to measure the non-controlling interest in the acquiree at fair value or at the
non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the acquiree's net assets.
All acquisition-related costs should be expensed.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS require the
management to make such estimates and assumptions that affect the carrying
amounts at the balance sheet date for the assets and liabilities and the
amounts of revenues and expenses. Judgements are also made in applying the
accounting policies. Actual results may differ from the estimates and
assumptions.
The interim report has not been audited.

-- 1 March 2011, the PPT Luttinen Oy waste management business

Acquisitions by Cleaning and Office Support Services
-- 1 January 2011, Kestosiivous Oy, a cleaning company operating in the
Helsinki region
-- 1 April 2011, the cleaning and property maintenance businesses of
Varkaus-based Savon Kiinteistöhuolto- ja Siivouspalvelu Oy, Varkauden

Acquisitions by Cleaning and Office Support Services and Property Maintenance

providing cleaning and property maintenance services in the Helsinki,
Turku, Tampere and Oulu regions.
Acquisitions by Property Maintenance
-- 1 March 2011, the operations of KH-Kiinteistöhuolto Oy operating in the
Nurmijärvi region.
The figures for these acquired businesses are stated in aggregate, because none
of them is of material importance when considered separately. Fair values have
been determined as of the time the acquisition was realised. No business
operations have been divested as a consequence of any acquisition. All
acquisitions have been paid for in cash. With share acquisitions, L&T was able
to gain 100% of the voting rights. The conditional consideration is tied to the
transfer of the customer contracts to Lassila & Tikanoja plc, and the estimates
of the fair values of considerations were determined on the basis of
probability-weighted final acquisition price. The estimates for the conditional
consideration have changed by EUR 30 thousand between the time of acquisition
and the balance sheet date. Trade and other receivables have been recorded at
fair value at the time of acquisition. Individual acquisition prices have not
been itemised because none of them is of material importance when considered
separately.
By annual net sales, the largest acquisition was Hansalaiset Oy (EUR 10,973
thousand).
It is not possible to itemise the effects of the acquired businesses on the
consolidated net sales and profit for the period, because L&T integrates its
acquisitions into the current business operations as quickly as possible to
gain synergy benefits.
The accounting policy concerning business combinations is presented in Annual
Report under Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements and under Summary
on significant accounting policies.

applied to it. The hedges have been effective, and the changes in the fair
values are shown in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the
period. On the balance sheet date, the value of foreign currency loans was EUR
1.1 million positive. The fair values of the interest rate swaps are based on
