BUSINESS DEVELOPED FAVOURABLY
The first-half net sales of Lemminkäinen Group rose 20.3% to EUR 879.9 million.
The order book rose 23.6% to EUR 1,622.0 million. The result before taxes
improved EUR 27.3 million and was EUR 38.9 million (11.6). The results of almost
all of the Group's business sectors were improved.
The favourable development in the review period was mostly influenced by the
earlier start of this year's asphalt paving season and the good profitability of
Palmberg - the Group's building contractor.
The operations of the Paving and Mineral Aggregates Division developed more
favourably than expected. Net sales rose 25.7% to EUR 215.9 million (171.8). The
operating profit was EUR 1.5 million (operating loss 11.6). There was also a
slight improvement in the order book.
The net sales of the Building Materials Division rose 40.0% to EUR 58.1 million
(41.5). Operating profit rose to EUR 3.4 million (0.1). The order book grew and
was good in all of the Division's business areas.
Lemcon's net sales fell 4.7% to EUR 164.6 million (172.7). Operating profit was
down 9.7% at EUR 6.5 million (7.2). The order book was good and has been growing
in Russia in particular.
The net sales of the Palmberg Group rose 33.9% to EUR 363.2 million (271.3).
Operating profit rose 45.7% to EUR 31.9 million (21.9). The order book rose to
an all-time high.
The net sales of Tekmanni Oy rose 17.9% to EUR 103.4 million (87.7). Operating
profit rose 91.7% to EUR 4.6 million (2.4). The order book grew and now stands
at an all-time high for the company.
CONSTRUCTION MARKET GROWTH
The construction market as a whole is experiencing good growth. Especially
commercial and office construction is growing, and increased activity is also
anticipated in industrial and logistics construction this year. The growth in
infrastructure construction is being sustained by major on-going projects.
Housing construction is expected to continue at almost the current level.
The development of international markets important to Lemminkäinen is expected
to remain favourable. The economic outlook in other Nordic countries is still
positive, and the total volume of construction is forecast to grow. In the
Baltic states GDP growth is faster than in the Nordic countries, and the road
construction market is expected to remain active thanks to EU funding. Finnish
industry has many on-going projects in Russia, China and India. Eastern Europe
is also attracting foreign investments by Finnish industry. The construction of
3G networks is expected to grow, and the building of GSM networks in the
developing countries will remain active.
GOOD OUTLOOK FOR 2007
The outlook for construction is positive and Lemminkäinen's order book is
strong. There are good prerequisites for the favourable development of
Lemminkäinen's business operations in 2007. The Group's net sales will rise and
the result is expected to clearly improve.

LEMMINKÄINEN CORPORATION'S INTERIM FINANCIAL REVIEW 1.1.-30.6.2007
CONSTRUCTION MARKET
The Finnish construction market as a whole is experiencing good growth.
According to an economic forecast by the Confederation of Finnish Construction
Industries, the total volume of construction will grow 3.5% this year and 3%
next year. Especially commercial and office construction will grow, but
increased activity is also anticipated in industrial and logistics construction.
The growth in infrastructure construction is being sustained by major on-going
projects. New highway projects are scheduled for start-up towards the end of the
year. Housing construction is expected to continue at almost the current level.
Refurbishment contracting will also continue to grow steadily.
Strong demand has driven up construction and labour costs and led to supply
problems in some materials. There is shortage of skilled labour, mainly at the
site foreman level.
The development of international markets important to Lemminkäinen is expected
to remain favourable. The economic outlook in other Nordic countries is still
positive, and the total volume of construction is forecast to grow. In Sweden
the rock engineering market will remain good. In the Baltic states GDP growth is
faster than in the Nordic countries, and the road construction market is
expected to remain active thanks to EU funding. Finnish industry has many
on-going projects in Russia, China and India. Central Eastern Europe is also
attracting foreign investments by Finnish industry. The construction of 3G
networks is expected to grow, and the building of GSM networks in the developing
countries will remain active.
GROUP'S NET SALES, EARNINGS AND BALANCE SHEET
The H1 net sales of Lemminkäinen Group rose 20.3% to EUR 879.9 million (731.2).
The Group generated 75.8% (70.2) of its net sales in Finland, 13.7% (13.2) in
other Nordic countries, 6.2% (12.3) in Eastern Europe and the Baltic states, and
4.3% (4.3) in other countries.

The Company's cash funds at the end of the review period were EUR 55.3 million
(47.4) and the net interest-bearing debt EUR 391.2 million (379.2). The equity
ratio was 26.6% (23.1) and net gearing 146.0% (186.4).
The Group's order book grew 23.6% and at the end of the review period was EUR
1,622.0 million (1,312.1). The market breakdown of the order book was Finland
72.3% (73.5), other Nordic countries 14.6% (13.6), Eastern Europe and the Baltic
states 10.4% (10.3), and other countries 2.7% (2.6).
BUSINESS SECTORS
Paving and Mineral Aggregates Division
The H1 net sales of the Paving and Mineral Aggregates Division rose 25.7% to EUR
215.9 million (171.8). The Division generated 49.5% (51.3) of its net sales in
Finland, 32.8% (30.4) in other Nordic countries, and 17.7% (18.3) in the Baltic
states and Eastern Europe.
The Division's operating profit was EUR 1.5 million (operating loss 11.6). The
exceptionally early start of the asphalt paving season as well as good demand
for mineral aggregates and ready-mix concrete had a positive impact on the
Division's result. The order book grew 3.7% and at the end of the review period
was EUR 325.2 million (313.5), of which operations abroad accounted for 51.0%
(54.6).
Lemminkäinen expanded its operation in Estonia by acquiring a majority stake in
Lõhketööd OŰ on 25 May 2007. This construction company was founded in 1992 and
operates in Estonia as a specialist in quarrying, blasting and demolition works.
The net sales of Lõhketööd OŰ in 2006 were approx. EUR 1.5 million.
The sale of Lemminkäinen's Swedish subsidiary Kvalitetsasfalt i Mellansverige AB
to Peab Asfalt AB was approved in the review period. The transfer of ownership
became effective on 7 August 2007. The transaction has no significant bearing on
Lemminkäinen's result.
In Finland the total volume of asphalt paving is likely to remain at last year's
level, but intense competition is expected to continue. In Denmark the
reorganisation of local government delayed the municipal procurement of paving
works this season. In Norway appropriations for road maintenance have been
increased but the competitive tendering processes are relatively long. In the
Baltic states EU funding is increasing the number of highway projects.
On-going infrastructure projects and the continuing strength of building
contracting are expected to sustain the good level of demand for stone crushing
contracting and ready-mix concrete. From time to time there are local shortages
of the cement required for concrete production.
Building Materials Division
The H1 net sales of the Building Materials Division rose 40.0% to EUR 58.1
million (41.5). The Division generated 10.3% (7.6) of its net sales abroad,
mainly in Sweden, Estonia and Eastern Europe.
The Division's operating profit was EUR 3.4 million (0.1). The order book rose
31.7% and at the end of the review period was EUR 46.5 million (35.3).
The factors contributing to the good result were strong demand, the acquisitions
made this year and in 2006, and the efficiency improvement measures implemented
in Lemminkäinen Betonituote Oy in 2006 and previous years.
The order book is good in all of the Division's business areas. Exports of
roofing materials, especially to Eastern Europe, have continued to grow quickly.
Demand for roofing contracting and urban environment construction was good.
Roofing contracting has been hampered periodically by long delivery times for
mineral wool insulation material. There have also been problems in the
availability of cement for the production of prefabricated concrete elements.
During the review period Lemminkäinen acquired full ownership of K.M. Repo Oy.
The company is based in Savonlinna, where it produces prefabricated concrete
elements and ready-mix concrete. Its net sales in 2006 were EUR 13.5 million.
The company now operates under the name Elemento Oy Savonlinna.
The Division's good order and favourable profitability provide a positive
outlook for the remainder of the year.
Lemcon Ltd
Lemcon's H1 net sales declined 4.7% to EUR 164.6 million (172.7). The company
generated 58.9% (40.4) of its net sales in Finland, 11.6% (10.2) in other Nordic
countries, 7.2% (31.8) in Eastern Europe and the Baltic states, 14.3% (11.2) in
North and South America, and 8.0% (6.4) in other countries.
The company's operating profit was EUR 6.5 million (7.2) and the profit before
taxes was EUR 6.0 million (6.5). The order book grew 15% and at the end of the
review period was EUR 399.4 million (347.2), of which international business
accounted for 60.7% (42.3).
Lemcon's infrastructure order book as a whole is reasonably good. The largest of
its on-going contracts will be completed in 2008-2010.
Lemcon Networks is believed to have good new business opportunities, most
notably in Asia, South America and Africa.
Legal proceedings arising from IKEA's termination of the construction contract
for the MEGA shopping centre in St. Petersburg are now underway in the court of
arbitration in Stockholm.
Demand for Lemcon's project management services in Finland remains good this
year thanks to brisk commercial and office construction. Abroad, the emphasis is
on industrial construction and the company is actively involved in Finnish
industry's plant-building projects. For example, preparations are being made for
some major forest industry investments in different parts of the world. In
Russia, demand for residential and office buildings is still quite strong, and
especially inward investments by foreign industrial companies have increased.
Oy Alfred A. Palmberg Ab
The H1 net sales of Palmberg Group, Lemminkäinen's specialist building
contractor, grew 33.9% to EUR 363.2 million (271.3). Business in Sweden
accounted for 7.2% (7.7) of net sales.
The company's operating profit grew 45.7% to EUR 31.9 million (21.9). The profit
before taxes was EUR 30.1 million (18.5). The order book grew 37.4% to EUR 744.9
million (542.1), of which international operations accounted for 4.7% (5.0).
The Palmberg Group's order book at the end of the review period was an all-time
high. The good result was influenced especially by the sustained level of
activity in the commercial construction sector, the favourable development of
the commercial property market, increased interest in the Finnish property
market among foreign investors and their lower requirements for investment
returns.
According to the Confederation of Finnish Construction Industries, about 33,000
(33,353) new housing starts are likely to be made in Finland this year. Palmberg
Group made 450 new private-sector housing starts during the review period, which
is considerably fewer than in the first half of last year (842). The decline in
the number of new starts is partly due to the shortage of skilled workers,
especially foremen. Delivery times for some building products have become longer
and prices have risen faster than usual. The number of housing starts has also
been affected by the prolongation of permit processes and in some cases local
demand factors and the commitment of resources to other production. Palmberg
expects to make starts on 1,000 housing units this year, compared with 1,558
units in 2006.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the end of the review period Palmberg owned a total of 780,000 m2 of unused
building rights, of which about 510,000 m2 were residential building rights. The
company also has conditional co-operation and zoning agreements for a further
520,000 m2, of which about 370,000 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. At the present rate of
production the company owns enough unused building rights to meet its needs for
over four years.
The Palmberg Group acquired the Uusikaarlepyy-based construction firm Rakennus
Kronqvist Oy/Byggteam Kronqvist Ab during the review year. The company's net
sales in 2006 were EUR 4.2 million.
The Palmberg Group's subsidiary Oka Oy has agreed to purchase the business
operations of the Imatra-based construction company Sulo Lipsanen Oy. The
acquisition will strengthen the prerequisites for Palmberg's building
contracting in Imatra area in south-eastern Finland and Russia. Closure of the
deal will take place in autumn 2007. Sulo Lipsanen Oy's net sales in 2006 were
EUR 7 million.
Building construction in Finland is expected to remain at a good level this
year. Commercial and office construction will grow and demand for logistics and
warehouse construction will increase. Palmberg's business has developed well and
the favourable trend is expected to continue for the remainder of the year.
Tekmanni Oy
Tekmanni's business areas are technical building services, technical facility
services and industrial services.
Tekmanni's H1 net sales rose 17.9% to EUR 103.4 million (87.7). The company
generated 4.1% (7.3) of its net sales in Sweden and Russia.
The company's operating profit was EUR 4.6 million (2.4) and the profit before
taxes EUR 5.6 million (2.8). The order book grew to EUR 106.0 million (74.0), of
which international business accounted for 4.6% (2.8).
Tekmanni's order book grew considerably and achieved a new all-time high for the
company. Brisk commercial and office construction has supported the good level
of demand for Tekmanni's services. Especially the operations of Tekmanni Service
have grown strongly.
The company has been restructured by corporatising the operations of local units
in order to improve the standard of regional service. On 1 June 2007 Tekmanni's
technical building service units in Hyvinkää, Porvoo, Lohja, Kerava, Hämeenlinna
and Forssa were corporatised to form Tekmanni Uusimaa Oy, which is based in
Hyvinkää. The new company operates as an expert supplier of installation and
contracting services in the provinces of Uusimaa and Kanta-Häme.
During the review period Tekmanni acquired a 70% stake in Ab Instel Oy in
Pietarsaari and full ownership of Sähköraisio Oy. Both companies are engaged in
electrical contracting and electrical maintenance. The HVAC installation and
technical building servicing company Uudenkaupungin Rakennus-Putkitus Oy was
also acquired. After the end of the review period Tekmanni acquired the
Vantaa-based Jäähdytystaito Oy, which specialises in refrigeration technology.
The combined net sales of the above-mentioned companies in 2006 were EUR 7
million.
Demand for maintenance, upkeep and repair works in the technical services sector
is expected to remain brisk this year. In the near-term future, the most
significant contracts for industrial services will be abroad.
GROUP'S ORDER BOOK
Lemminkäinen Group's order book rose 23.6% compared with H1 last year to reach
an all-time high. The market breakdown of the order book was Finland 72.3%
(73.5), other Nordic countries 14.6% (13.6), the Baltic states 4.4% (4.8),
Eastern Europe 6.0% (5.5), and other countries 2.7% (2.6).

GROUP STRUCTURE
With effect from 1 January 2008, Lemminkäinen Group will be organised into four
business sectors instead of the present five. These four business sectors will
be infrastructure construction, building contracting, technical building and
facility services and the building materials industry. The Group's parent
company, Lemminkäinen Corporation, will not have any business operations after 1
January 2008. (Bulletin 7.6.2007)
The new structure will support the business strategy approved for Lemminkäinen
Group in February 2007.
Infrastructure construction and building contracting, which are the Group's
largest business sectors, will be corporatised. The names of the companies thus
formed will be decided at a later date.
The infrastructure construction company will comprise Lemminkäinen Corporation's
Paving and Mineral Aggregates Division and Lemcon Ltd's infra business (Lemcon
Infra). The building contracting company will consist of the Palmberg Group and
all the operations of Lemcon Ltd except for Lemcon Infra.
The managing director of the infrastructure construction company with effect
from 1 January 2008 will be Mr. Timo Kohtamäki, Lic.Tech. (b. 1963), who
currently acts as the Head of Lemcon Infra. On the same date Mr. Juha Nurmi,
M.Sc.(Eng.) (b. 1955), who is the Managing Director of Lemcon Networks Ltd, will
take up the position of managing director of the building contracting company.
The Managing Director of Oy Alfred A. Palmberg Ab, Mr. Risto Bono, and the
Managing Director of Lemcon Ltd., Mr. Matti A. Mantere, will retire in
accordance with their respective contracts.
The reorganisation is described on the Group's website at www.lemminkainen.com.
FCA's 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 denied
the FCA's allegations as being unfounded in all respects and called for the
Market Court to dismiss the FCA's sanction proposal in its entirety. The Market
Court expects to give its decision after the 2007 summer holiday recess. The
parties will have an opportunity to appeal the Market Court's decision to the
Supreme Administrative Court.
The FCA closed its investigation of the alleged prohibited exchanges of
information in the bituminous roofing industry in the years 1996-2002. On 16
February 2007 the FCA announced its decision to close the case without proposing
any sanctions against companies in the industry. (Bulletin 16.2.2007)
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Lemminkäinen's business risks are divided into six categories: market risks,
project risks, financing risks, credit loss risks, environmental risks, and
accidents and damage. Lemminkäinen has specified the measures necessary to
control its most significant known risks.
Lemminkäinen's most significant risks and their management are described in
greater detail in the 2006 year-end financial statements, the 2006 Annual Report
and on the Company's website. During the review period Lemminkäinen's management
did not identify any new risks or uncertainties that, if realised, would have a
significant bearing on the Group's business.
ENVIRONMENT
Lemminkäinen Group takes account of life cycle and environmental perspective
when developing its operations, products and services.
The Group performs risk assessments on the environmental effects of its
activities. The risks relate mainly to oil storage and handling, waste
management and production plant emissions. The life time and environmental
impacts of concrete and bitumen-based products are assessed in studies which
clarify the environmental impacts of the products over their entire life cycles.
During the review period Lemminkäinen Corporation made a donation of EUR 100,000
to John Nurminen Foundation's Clean Baltic Sea project. Additionally, Lemcon Ltd
will contribute by making its project management skills available to the
project. The aim of the project is to start-up the chemical removal of
phosphorous at St. Petersburg's largest wastewater treatment plants, and thus to
reduce eutrophication of the Baltic Sea perceptibly, quickly and
cost-effectively. (Bulletin 1.2.2007).
ADMINISTRATION AND DECISIONS OF THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
On 16 March 2007 Lemminkäinen Corporation's Annual General Meeting adopted the
Company's final accounts for 2006 and granted the Managing Director and the
members of the Board of Directors freedom from responsibility. The Annual
General Meeting decided in accordance with the Board of Directors' proposal to
pay a dividend of EUR 1.50 per share, i.e. a total dividend pay-out of EUR
25,531,875.00. The dividend's record date was 21 March 2007 and the payment date
was 28 March 2007.
Messrs. Berndt Brunow, Heikki Pentti, Teppo Taberman and Sakari Tamminen were
re-elected to serve as members of the Board of Directors. Ms. Kristina Pentti,
M.Sc. (Econ.) was newly elected to serve as a board member. The Board of
Directors elected Heikki Pentti to serve as Chairman of the Board and Teppo
Taberman to serve as Vice-chairman. PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy, a firm of
authorised public accountants, was re-elected to serve as the Company's auditor,
with Jan Holmberg APA acting as the chief auditor.
FAVOURABLE OUTLOOK FOR 2007
The outlook for construction is positive and Lemminkäinen's order book is
strong. There are good prerequisites for the favourable development of
Lemminkäinen's business operations in 2007. The Group's net sales will rise and
the result is expected to clearly improve.

TABULATED SECTION OF THE INTERIM FINANCIAL REVIEW
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
This interim financial review has been prepared in accordance with IFRS
measurement and recognition principles, and it conforms to the IAS 34 Interim
Financial Reporting standard. The accounting principles used in the annual
financial statements for 2006 have also been observed in the preparation of this
interim financial review.
In the review period the Group has applied hedge accounting to interest rate
swap agreements used to hedge specific variable-rate loans and also to financial
instruments used to hedge net foreign investments. The change in fair value of
interest rate swap agreements is recognised directly in equity through the
revaluation reserve to the extent that the hedging relationship is effective.
The ineffective part is recognised on the income statement under financial
income and expenses.
From 1.1.2007 the Group has adopted the following new standards and
interpretations:
- IAS 1 (Amendment) Capital Disclosures - Capital disclosure in financial
statements
- IFRS 7 Financial Instruments; Disclosures
- IFRIC 7 Applying the Restatement Approach under IAS 29, Financial Reporting in
Hyperinflationary Economies
- IFRIC 8 Scope of IFRS 2
- IFRIC 9 Reassessment of Embedded Derivatives
- IFRIC 10 Interim Financial Reporting and Impairment
The adoption of these new and revised standards and interpretations affects
mainly the Notes to the Financial Statements.
The information contained in the interim financial review has not been audited.
