LEMMINKÄINEN CORPORATION'S FULL-YEAR EARNINGS FOR 2008 MAY FALL SHORT OF LAST
YEAR'S LEVEL 

Lemminkäinen is amending the outlook reported in its interim financial review
for the period 1.1.-30.6.2008. The Company now estimates that full-year
earnings for 2008 will fall short of last year's level. Net sales and the
balance sheet will both grow. 

Lemminkäinen reported earlier that net sales were expected to be higher than
last year, and that earnings would remain at the 2007 level. The Company's
financial position was expected to remain unchanged. 

In Finland the outlook has been weakened by a sharp decline in demand for
housing as well as the cancellation of some already agreed commercial property
deals due to financial difficulties experienced by the buyers. In
infrastructure construction full-year earnings will be depressed by increased
input costs and the poor market situation in the Baltic States. 

The outlook for Lemminkäinen's technical building services and building
products business sectors is still good.
