LEMMINKÄINENS INTERIM FINANCIAL REVIEW 1 Jan. 30 June 2006:
Marked improvement in earnings
Lemminkäinen Groups H1 net sales rose 11.5 % to EUR 731.2 million
(655.5). The operating profit was EUR 18.9 million (7.5) and the
result before taxes EUR 11.6 million (3.7). The order book grew
30.6 % to stand at EUR 1,312.1 million (1 004.7). The companys
full-year result is expected to be better than last year.
LEMMINKÄINEN CONTINUES TO GROW STEADILY
The current year has been a favourable one for Lemminkäinen Group.
The companys H1 net sales rose 11.5 % to EUR 731.2 million
(655.5). A significant proportion of this growth came from
international operations, which generated 29.8 % (27.9) of total
net sales. The Groups operating profit was EUR 18.9 million (7.5)
and the result before taxes EUR 11.6 million (3.7). The H1 result
after taxes was EUR 8.6 million (2.6) and earnings per share were
EUR 0.31 (0.03).
The net sales and order book of the Paving and Mineral Aggregates
Division rose, but the result was slightly weaker than last year.
The outlook for the Building Materials Division is brighter than
last year.
Lemcons net sales rose and its result improved. The companys
order book also strengthened.
Palmbergs result improved significantly and full-year earnings
are expected to be better than last year. The companys housing
production is growing and the second-half order book is good.
Tekmannis result was slightly weaker than last year due to
reduced business volume and increased material prices.
GROWING AND INTERNATIONALISING MARKETS
The total volume of construction is expected to grow this year.
Demand for housing in Finland has remained good and major
infrastructure projects will provide work for construction
companies over the coming years.
In recent years the international operations of the Finnish
construction companies have grown strongly in Scandinavia, Russia
and the Baltic states. Lemminkäinen Group derives a significant
proportion of its net sales growth from international operations,
with about a quarter of its total net sales being generated in the
above-mentioned areas. Furthermore, Lemminkäinens services have
been in demand due to the growing investments of Finnish industry
in countries such as China and India.
GOOD OUTLOOK FOR THE 2006 ACCOUNTING PERIOD
Lemminkäinens good order book creates the prerequisites for net
sales growth, and the full-year result is expected to be better
than last year.

LEMMINKÄINEN CORPORATIONS INTERIM FINANCIAL REVIEW 1.1.-30.6.2006
MARKET SITUATION
The total volume of construction is expected to grow 3.5 % this
year and 2.5 % next year. The forecasts are based on favourable
growth demand and a moderate rise of the price level. The growth
rate of construction volume will mirror the annual growth rate of
the Scandinavian economies.
Residential construction will continue to be brisk in both new
housing and refurbishment contracting. Some 35 000 new housing
starts are expected to be made this year, whereas the amount of
new housing units were 34 300 in year 2005. The volume of
industrial and commercial construction will also grow, but the
level of office construction will remain fairly minimal in spite
of the recovery. The situation on the civil engineering market
will remain good for the remainder of this year and into 2007. The
demand for labour is growing in all areas of construction and the
availability of professional workers is already becoming scarce in
places.
International operations account for a significant and growing
proportion of the Finnish construction companies net sales. The
key markets are Russia, the Baltic states and Scandinavia.
GROUP NET SALES AND EARNINGS
The H1 net sales of Lemminkäinen Group rose 11.5 % to EUR 731.2
million (655.5). International operations accounted for EUR 217.9
million (182.6) or 29.8 % (27.9) of net sales. The Group generated
70 % of its net sales Finland, 13 % in other Scandinavian
countries, 8 % in Eastern Europe, 4.5 % in the Baltic states, and
4.5 % in other countries. The net sales share of international
operations was biggest in the Paving and Mineral Aggregates
Division and in Lemcon, both of which derive about a half of their
revenue from markets outside Finland.
The Groups H1 operating result was EUR 18.9 million (7.5) and the
result before taxes was EUR 11.6 million(3.7). The H1 result after
taxes was EUR 8.6 million (2.6), and earnings per share were EUR
0.31 (0.03).
BUSINESS SECTORS
Paving and Mineral Aggregates Division
The H1 net sales of the Paving and Mineral Aggregates Division
rose to EUR 171.8 million (162.1). International operations
accounted for EUR 83.7 million (74.0) of the Divisions net sales.
The Division generated 51 % of its net sales in Finland, 30 % in
other Scandinavian countries, and 17 % in the Baltic states.
The Divisions operating result was EUR 14.5 million (-11.8). The
Divisions order book was up on the previous year at EUR 313.5
million (284.9), of which international operations contributed
54.6 % (50.3).
The total volume of asphalt paving works in Finland is down on the
previous year. The Divisions first-half result was adversely
impacted by the exceptional length of the 2005/2006 winter, but
the warm summer has helped compensate for the delayed arrival of
the paving season. The Divisions order book is good, so the full-
year result is largely dependent on the length of the work season.
The price level of asphalt paving contracts is still quite weak in
Finland and Sweden, but slightly better in Denmark and Norway. In
the Baltic states the outlook for asphalt paving remains
favourable. The prices of raw materials, especially bitumen, have
remained high.
Brisk housing production has kept demand for mineral aggregate and
ready-mix concrete at a good level.
Building Materials Division
The H1 net sales of the Building Materials Division were EUR 41.5
million (42.1) and the operating result was EUR 0.6 million (-
1.6). The Divisions order book was 20 % up at EUR 35.3 million
(29.2).
Due to the stronger order book and improved profitability, the
group´s outlook for this year is more favourable.
Demand for roofing and urban environment contracting has remained
good and material sales have been very brisk this summer. The
order book for pre-cast concrete staircase units has been growing
thanks to the gradual recovery of office construction.
On 31 May 2006 Lemminkäinen Betonituote Oy acquired RK-
Betoniporras Oy and the pre-cast concrete staircase operations of
Suonenjoen Sementtituote Oy. After the acquisitions Lemminkäinens
new subsidiary, Suonenjoen Betonituote Oy, will continue the
Suonenjoki-based business, which mainly involves the manufacture
of pre-cast concrete staircase units.
Lemcon Ltd
The H1 net sales of Lemcon Ltd rose to EUR 172.7 million (149.3),
of which international operations accounted for EUR 102.9 million
(94.6).
Some 40 % of the companys net sales came from Finland, with the
remainder being generated in Eastern Europe (31 %), other
Scandinavian countries (10 %), North and South America (10 %), and
other countries (9 %).
Lemcons profit before taxes rose to EUR 6.5 million (5.6). The
companys order book grew strongly from the previous year and was
EUR 347.2 million (236.6), of which operations abroad accounted
for 42.3 % (64.9).
Lemcons domestic order book for rock engineering contracting is
still good, and in Sweden too the state of the market remains
favourable.
In Russia, demand for industrial and logistical facilities
continues to be brisk. Lemcon is also studying future business
opportunities in growing areas of Eastern Europe, such as Romania
and the Ukraine.
The share of Lemcon´s technical expert services in
telecommunications network construction is increasing. The growing
investments of Finnish industry in China and India are boosting
demand for company´s services in these markets.
The dispute arising from IKEAs termination of the construction
contract for the MEGA shopping centre in St. Petersburg is pending
before the court of arbitration.
Oy Alfred A. Palmberg Ab
The net sales of the Groups building contractor, Oy Alfred A.
Palmberg Ab, continued to grow, the H1 figure being EUR 271.3
million (235.2). The companys result before taxes improved
significantly and was EUR 18.5 million (11.4). Palmbergs order
book rose to stand at EUR 542.1 million (378.1).
The growth of building construction is forecast to level off
gradually, but still remaining good for the rest of this year and
possibly next year too. The long-term growth of residential
refurbishment contracting is likely to continue. New housing
starts for 2006 are forecast at about 35 000, whereas the amount
of new starts last year was 34 300. In spite of higher interest
rates, consumer confidence in household finances has held up well
and has supported good demand for housing in Finland.
Palmbergs housing production is growing steadily. The company
made 910 (697) private-sector housing starts in the first half of
the year. Palmberg has the capabilities to make starts on about
1,500 housing units this year, compared to 1 251 starts made in
2005.
At the end of the review period the company owned a total of 785
000 m2 of unused building rights, of which about 450 000 m2 were
residential building rights. The company also has binding or
conditional co-operation and zoning agreements for a further 560
000 m2, of which about 380 000 m2 are residential building rights.
Market conditions permitting, the company has the possibility to
increase its housing production thanks to the good stock of
building plots.
Palmbergs full-year outlook is good and the companys result is
expected to be better than last year due to the increased order
book and favourable market development.
Tekmanni Oy
The H1 net sales of Tekmanni Oy were EUR 87.7 million (93.0) and
the profit before taxes EUR 2.8 million (3.4). The order book was
EUR 74.0 million (75.8).
The companys weaker net sales and result compared to last year
are mainly the result of reduced business volume and increased
material prices. The order book is also slightly down on last
year.
The sustained level of activity on the refurbishment market has
boosted demand for maintenance, upkeep and repair works in the
technical services sector. In particular, the volume of plumbing
refurbishment works in residential buildings is growing
nationwide.
On 13 June 2006 Tekmanni Service and Johnson Controls IFM Nordic
signed an agreement on the maintenance of Shell service stations.
The contract covers over 100 service stations and encompasses all
facility maintenance services. Furthermore, the contract includes
consulting services related to technical building systems, a
nationwide call-out service, as well as necessary conversion works
and basic repair assignments.
ORDER BOOK
The Groups order book rose 30.6 % to stand at EUR 1 312.1 million
(1 004.7), of which international operations accounted for EUR
347.1 million (321.9). The market breakdown of the order book was
Finland 74 %, other Scandinavian countries 14 %, the Baltic states
5 %, and Eastern Europe 5 %. Operations abroad make up about a
half of the order book of both the Paving and Mineral Aggregates
Division and Lemcon Ltd.

Of the new construction projects started after the accounting
period, the most important is a new office building complex to be
built by Oy Alfred Palmberg Ab in the Salmisaari district of
Helsinki. Lemminkäinens own head office will be relocated to the
new building in 2009. The premises will be leased from the
developer, Varma Mutual Pension Insurance Company. The contract is
worth approx. EUR 100 million and the entire project is included
in the companys order book for the review period.
Lemcon Ltd has signed a project management contract concerning the
construction of a museum centre in Kotka, Finland. Construction
work on the site has begun and the museum centre will be completed
in November 2007. The contract is worth EUR 26.3 million and is
included in the order book for the review period.
Lemcon Ltd has signed an agreement with the City of Helsinki
concerning excavation and reinforcement works on the eastern part
of the city centres underground service tunnel. The contract is
worth EUR 21.7 million and is included in the order book for the
review period. Excavation work has begun and Lemcon expects the
contract to be completed in summer 2008.
Lemcon Ltd has won the foundation building contract for Kiinteistö
Oy Helsingin Hiiliranta ja Hiilipiha in Salmisaari. The contract
is worth about EUR 9 million and is included in the order book for
the review period. Work began in July and will last until spring
2008.
Oka Oy, a subsidiary of Palmberg, is building a shopping centre in
downtown Lappeenranta. The project also includes office space, a
parking facility and apartments. The total value of the contract
is approx. EUR 41 million. The project is partially included in
the order book for the review period.
A contract for the construction of two office buildings in West
Pasila has been signed with Fennia Mutual Insurance Company. The
contract is worth about EUR 50 million. The project is not
included in the order book for the review period.
GROUP STRUCTURE
At the beginning of 2006 the roofing and concrete products
businesses of the Building Materials Division were transferred to
two new subsidiaries: Lemminkäinen Katto Oy and Lemminkäinen
Betonituote Oy. The new companies together with Omni-Sica Oy still
constitute the Building Materials Division.
Lemminkäinen Corporation increased its stake in Tekmanni Oy by
making a tender offer to the minority interests and thereafter by
exercising its right of redemption under the provisions of the
Companies Act. As a result, Tekmanni is now a wholly owned
subsidiary of Lemminkäinen Corporation.
FINANCING
According to the source and application of funds statement, the
cash flow from operating activities was EUR 112.5 million (-
64.9), the cash flow from investing activities EUR 17.1 million
(-10.8) and the cash flow from financing activities EUR 135.0
million (77.8). The cash flow for the accounting period includes
dividends totalling EUR 18.1 million (11.1) for 2005.
Interest-bearing liabilities at the end of the accounting period
were EUR 426.6 million (378.7) and liquid funds were EUR 47.4
million (42.6). Interest-bearing net debt was EUR 379.2 million
(336.1). The change in interest-bearing net debt from the
comparative period was EUR 43.1 million.
The changes in cash flows and net debt compared with H1 last year
stem from the larger dividend pay-out, the increase in business
volume, and changes in project financing.
Net financing expenses were EUR 7.1 million (4.1), representing
1.0 % (0.6) of net sales. The equity ratio was 23.1 % (22.3) and
gearing 186.4 % (193.0).
INVESTMENTS
Investments in the accounting period amounted to EUR 31.4 million
(26.2). The investments were mainly purchases of paving, crushing
and excavation equipment, production plant for building materials,
and building construction equipment.
PERSONNEL
The average number of employees in the Group over the accounting
period was 7 955 (7 551), of whom 2 080 (1 799) were working
abroad. As of 30 June 2006, there were 9 415 (8 927) employees on
the payroll.
DECISIONS OF THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
The Annual General Meeting of Lemminkäinen Corporation held on 17
March 2006 adopted the 2005 annual financial statements and
granted the Board of Directors and the Managing Director freedom
from responsibility. In accordance with the Board of Directors
proposal, the Annual General Meeting decided to pay a dividend of
EUR 1.00 per share, i.e. a total dividend pay-out of
17,021,250.00. The record date of the dividend payment was 22
March 2006 and the date of dividend payment was 29 March 2006.
Messrs. Berndt Brunow, Erkki J. Pentti, Heikki Pentti, Teppo
Taberman and Sakari Tamminen were elected to serve as members of
the Company's Board of Directors. The Board of Directors elected
Heikki Pentti to serve as the Chairman and Teppo Taberman to serve
as the Vice Chairman.
PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy, a firm of authorised public
accountants, were elected to serve as the Companys auditors, with
Mr. Jan Holmberg, A.P.A. acting as the auditor in charge.
SHARES
The listed price of Lemminkäinen Corporations share was EUR 30.50
(15.74)at the beginning and EUR 29.28 (22.99) at the end of the
review period. The trading volume was 1,984,384 shares
(3,006,655). The market capitalisation at the end of the
accounting period was EUR 498.4 million (391.3).
FCAs ALLEGATIONS CONCERNING THE ASPHALT PAVING AND BITUMINOUS
ROOFING INDUSTRIES
In March 2004 the Finnish Competition Authority (FCA) proposed to
the Market Court that a sanction of EUR 68 million should be
imposed on Lemminkäinen in connection with the operation of an
alleged cartel in the asphalt paving industry. In its rejoinder
submitted to the Market Court, Lemminkäinen has denied the FCAs
allegations as being unfounded in all respects and has called for
the Market Court to dismiss the FCAs sanction proposal in its
entirety. The case is pending in the Market Court.
In March 2006 the FCA sent companies of the bituminous roofing
industry a copy of its draft proposal to the Market Court for
comment. The draft proposal alleges that prohibited exchanges of
information took place on the bituminous roofing market during the
years 1996-2002. The amount of the fine sought by the FCA is not
specified in the document. Having studied the draft proposal,
Lemminkäinen has made it clear in its response to the FCA that the
companys activities have been in compliance with the competition
regulations.
OUTLOOK FOR THE 2006 ACCOUNTING PERIOD
Lemminkäinens outlook for the year ahead is very favourable. The
Groups housing production is growing and the favourable
development of Lemminkäinens international operations in
established as well as new market areas create good conditions for
net sales and order book growth. The full-year result is expected
to be better than last year.
