*) From 1 January 2010 Lemminkäinen observes the interpretation IFRIC 15 -
Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate in its reporting. The comparative
figures for 2009 have also been calculated in accordance with the
interpretation.
Lemminkäinen's own housing production remained subdued until the summer of 2009
owing to the economic downturn. Consequently, significantly fewer own housing
developments than on the first quarter 2009 were completed and, because of the
change in income recognition principle, recognised as income during the review
period. Housing sales continued to be brisk in both Finland and Russia, and
starts were made on 145 units in own housing developments during the first
quarter.
Exceptionally severe winter conditions prevented paving operations in Norway,
Denmark and Lithuania, where paving work would be carried out in normal winter
conditions. However, the infrastructure construction order book developed well,
and at the end of the review period was higher than in the comparison period.
The competition in technical building services increased, and the price level of
materials continued to rise. However, the order book was up by a third on the
comparison period. Demand for technical building services is expected to rise as
new construction picks up.
The exceptionally long and snowy winter delayed starts on roofing and
waterproofing contracts. With the pick-up in housing production, demand for
pre-cast concrete staircase and façade elements rose during the review period.
Lemminkäinen executed a directed share issue to institutional investors during
the review period. The funds raised from the issue, a total of EUR 39.5 million,
were used during the review period for the amortisation of short-term loans.
President & CEO Timo Kohtamäki:
”Lemminkäinen published its new strategy in November 2009, and we have now
initiated measures needed to achieve the set goals. Last year we adjusted the
number of our employees in response to the drop in construction volumes. This
year we are seeking cost savings and efficiency improvements by developing our
business operations. We are streamlining the Group's structure and continuing to
develop our businesses towards our strategic goal of one united Lemminkäinen.
Besides improving our financial position, we are also seeking profitable growth
in this strategy period. The main focus areas are renovation construction,
technical building services, residential construction in Russia, and
infrastructure construction in the Nordic countries. The directed share issue
completed during the review period gives us more room to manoeuvre and enables
us to carry out our next strategic projects.
In April we acquired a plot of land in St. Petersburg on which we are starting
to construct a 540-unit apartment building. This is to take advantage of
Russia's growing housing market. Two recent acquisitions in Norway will
strengthen our position on the country's infrastructure market. Furthermore, we
have expanded our offering of renovation construction services with a water pipe
coating method that avoids the demolition of existing structures.
Lemminkäinen typically records a loss in the first quarter of the year owing to
the seasonal nature of our operations, and the severe winter conditions
experienced in this review period amplified that seasonal effect. The housing
production slowdown that began in the second half of 2008 continued to have an
impact on the results of our operations, since significantly fewer housing units
in own developments were completed and recognised as income in the first quarter
than in the comparison period. However, the housing market has picked up since
Q3 2009 and the housing production started at that time will be showing up in
our net sales towards the end of 2010. This year Lemminkäinen has made starts on
about 145 units in own housing developments in Finland.
After the difficult market conditions of last year, our order book developed
well in the review period and finished higher than its year-end level. Even
though 2010 is expected to be a challenging year for the construction sector,
there are indications that the general economic outlook is improving.”
Outlook for 2010
According to economic forecasts, Finland's gross domestic production is expected
to return to growth in 2010, but the total volume of construction is still
estimated to contract. The number of new building starts will be up on 2009, and
housing production in particular is estimated to pick up with the recovery in
housing sales. Non-residential construction is likely to remain more subdued
than last year. Renovation construction is estimated to continue its steady
growth, and demand for technical building services is estimated to remain
stable. In Russia the pick-up in the housing market continued in the first
quarter and the volume of construction is estimated to grow during 2010.
Most of new major transport infrastructure projects will be underway in 2011 and
2012, but projects already in progress are providing work for infrastructure
builders. The recovery of building construction will also improve the employment
of infra builders. In Finland the government intends to make further cuts in its
investments in basic highway maintenance and it is estimated that the
constrained finances of the municipalities may reduce the volume of
infrastructure construction this year.
The other Nordic countries have budgeted additional investments on the
development of infrastructure construction, which is estimated to keep these
markets at a favourable level in the years ahead. The situation in the Baltic
states will continue to be challenging.
Demand for building materials follows the building construction cycle, and
demand is estimated to pick up with the growing recovery of residential
construction in 2010.
Lemminkäinen estimates that net sales and the result before taxes for the 2010
accounting period will be at the 2009 level, the infringement fine imposed by
the SAC being excluded from the 2009 comparative figures.

INTERIM FINANCIAL REVIEW 1 January to 31 March 2010
OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
Markets in Finland
The outlook for construction in the coming years is quite favourable. In 2010
the volume of construction is expected to contract by 2 per cent on 2009, but a
return to growth is expected to occur already in 2011. The decrease will be
mainly in non-residential building and infrastructure construction, whereas the
number of new building starts is expected to be 7 per cent higher than in 2009.
Housing sales have picked up significantly since last year, and housing
production is expected to grow markedly this year. The volume of privately
financed housing production in particular is growing. Some 27,500 new housing
starts will be made in Finland during 2010, which is about a fifth more than in
2009.
Despite the slowdown of the real estate market, the number of new commercial and
office building starts is expected to remain at the 2009 level. There are a lot
of non-residential building projects in the pipeline, but their start dates have
been put back. The number of starts on public service buildings is also expected
to remain at the 2009 level, but industrial construction is expected to decline.
The construction of logistics centres has remained brisk.
Renovation construction is expected to increase at an annual rate of about 2 per
cent over the next two years. The growth and ageing of the building stock as
well as its upgrading to modern technical standards are increasing the demand
for renovation construction.
The volume of infrastructure construction is expected to decrease by 2 per cent
during 2010. New infrastructure projects are expected to start up in the coming
years, and consequently the decline of infrastructure construction is expected
to stop in 2011.
With the slowdown of new construction, the emphasis in the technical building
services sector has shifted to renovation construction, and its demand is
expected to continue growing in the coming years. Demand for technical building
services is also expected to rise as residential construction picks up.
Markets outside Finland
In the Nordic countries, government stimulus measures have kept the
infrastructure markets at good levels. In Norway and Denmark demand for paving
works has been brisk, but competition in the industry has intensified. In Sweden
significant tunnel projects in the Stockholm area provide work for
infrastructure builders.
In the Baltic states the construction market continues to be challenging.
However, in spite of the difficult market conditions, infrastructure
construction in the Baltic area showed some slight signs of recovery.
In Russia, housing sales picked up markedly towards the end of 2009 and
continued to be brisker than last year during the first quarter. The Russian
economy is expected to recover at the same rate as the rest of the world. The
growth forecast for this year is about 6 per cent, and economic growth is
expected to continue in 2011 and 2012.

Lemminkäinen's operations in the first quarter of 2010 were clearly loss-making,
and the operating result was EUR -28.5 million (-6.9). Lemminkäinen's
first-quarter result typically shows a loss due to seasonal variations.

prepared in accordance with the new organisation.
Lemminkäinen's order book was slightly higher than a year ago, and at the end of
the review period was EUR 1,199.8 million (1,141.7). Operations outside Finland
accounted for 23 % (31) of the order book.
BALANCE SHEET, CASH FLOW AND FINANCING
One of Lemminkäinen's strategic goals is strengthening of the Company's
financial position. Under an authorisation granted by the Extraordinary General
Meeting of Lemminkäinen Corporation held on 12 November 2009, the Board of
Directors decided on 17 March 2010 on two separate share issues. The Company
offered 1,700,000 new shares in the Company for subscription by institutional
investors approved by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors also
decided on a share issue in which the Company offered 923,514 new shares in the
Company for subscription against receipt of consideration in the form of shares
by the minority shareholders of Lemminkäinen Corporation's subsidiaries Tekmanni
Oy and Lemminkäinen Talo Oy. The subscription price of the shares was EUR 23.25.
The consideration received from the issuance of shares to institutional
investors totalled EUR 39.5 million, which was booked to the Company's invested
unrestricted equity reserve. The funds raised from the issue were used during
the review period for the amortisation of short-term loans.
The consolidated balance sheet total at 31 March 2010 was EUR 1,017.0 million
(1,318.8). The return on investment was -3.1% (0.4) and the equity ratio 33.7%
(25.5). Gearing was 114.4% (147.1).
According to the cash flow statement, the cash flow from operating activities
was EUR -49.9 million (-85.4), the cash flow from investing activities EUR -7.6
million (-11.1) and the cash flow from financing activities EUR 23.8 million
(3.1). The cash flow for the review period includes the payment of dividends
totalling EUR 1.9 million (13.9). The 2009 dividends include only dividends paid
to the minority interests of subsidiaries.
Working capital declined 22% to EUR 668.3 million (857.3) and net working
capital fell 23% to EUR 363.7 million (472.8).
Liquid funds at the end of the review period were EUR 38.3 million (154.5).
The amount of interest-bearing debt at the end of the review period was EUR
387.3 million (605.1), of which EUR 206.4 million was short-term debt and EUR
180.9 million long-term debt. Interest-bearing net debt was EUR 349.0 million
(450.6). Net financing expenses were EUR 5.5 million (9.8), representing 1.9%
(2.9) of net sales.
Lemminkäinen's interest-bearing debt comprised loans from financial institutions
35% (59), commercial paper 11% (12), project loans related to own housing
production and non-residential construction 9% (17), TyEL (employee pensions
premium) loans 27% (0), finance leasing liabilities 14% (9) and other
liabilities 4% (2).
The final part of the TyEL pension premium loan allocation was drawn during the
review period. At the end of the review period Lemminkäinen had an unused EUR
150 million line of credit.

*) From 1 January 2010 Lemminkäinen observes the interpretation IFRIC 15 -
Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate in its reporting. The comparative
figures for 2009 have also been calculated in accordance with the
interpretation.
**) From 1 January 2010 financial items are no longer reported
sector-specifically in segment reports delivered to management. For this reason
sector-specific comparative figures are presented only up until the operating
profit line..
Starting from 1 January 2010, Lemminkäinen observes the interpretation IFRIC 15
- Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate, which affects especially the
income recognition practice for own housing production, the basis of which has
changed from percentage-of-completion to full completion and delivery. IFRIC 15
interpretation also affects the recognition of income from own non-residential
development projects, which are now assessed project-specifically. The changes
in income recognition principles mean that there will be more quarterly
variation in the net sales and profitability of the Building Construction
business sector, depending on the exact timing of project completions.
The net sales of the Building Construction business sector were EUR 168.7
million (205.3). The business sector generated 76% (80) of its net sales in
Finland, 13% (4) in other Nordic countries, 2% (7) in Russia, and 9% (9) in
other countries. The operating profit was EUR 1.2 million (11.4). As
Lemminkäinen's own housing production remained subdued until the summer of 2009,
significantly fewer own housing developments than in the comparison period were
completed and, because of the change in income recognition principle, recognised
as income during the review period. Also the decline in construction volumes
reduced the net sales and operating profit for the review period. In addition,
non-recurring items stemming from restructuring and personnel adjustment
measures were recognised during the review period.
As a consequence of the new income recognition principle, this year's net sales
and operating profit will be skewed towards the end of the year, when the
Company's own housing developments started in the second half of 2009 will be
completed.
The business sector's order book remained at the level of the comparison period
and was EUR 534.9 million (540.8). Orders from outside Finland contributed EUR
81.3 million (112.3) to the order book.

Lemminkäinen made 135 contracted housing starts in the review period. The total
number of housing starts made in Finland during the review period was 280.
At the end of the review period Lemminkäinen owned a total of 882,000 m2 of
unused building rights in Finland, of which approx. 379,000 m2 were residential
building rights. The Company also had binding or conditional co-operation and
zoning agreements for about 801,000 m², of which about 318,000 m² were
residential building rights. The balance sheet value of the building plots was
EUR 90.5 million (87.0).
Non-residential building construction remained subdued in the review period, and
demand for office construction in particular was minimal. Demand for commercial
and logistics buildings remained at a reasonable level. Lemminkäinen is building
a logistics centre for Inex Partners Oy in Sipoo. In addition to project
management contracting, Lemminkäinen is responsible for the excavation and
crushing contract for the foundation works as well as the electrical
installations. The total value of the works is approx. EUR 26 million, and they
will be completed in March 2012. During the review period Lemminkäinen also
agreed to build a logistics centre for Etola Group's Etra Oy in Hämeenlinna. The
building will have a floor area of 20,000 m² and will be completed in April
2011.
Real estate developments by public-sector organisations remained at a reasonable
level in the review period. Lemminkäinen is building a new ecological office
building that will be used by the City of Helsinki Environment Centre and the
Department of Environmental Sciences of the University of Helsinki. The building
will be completed in summer 2011. The contract is representative of advanced
environmentally friendly construction, and it is worth approx. EUR 10.5 million.
The renovation construction market remained stable during the review period.
Renovation construction accounted for about 22% (15) of Lemminkäinen's building
construction business in the review period.
Operations outside Finland:
Housing sales in Russia continued to be brisker than in the previous year. The
number of housing units sold in Lemminkäinen's own developments in Russia during
the first quarter was 54 (22). At the end of the review period the Company had
498 (313) housing units under construction, of which 339 were unsold. The number
of unsold completed units at the end of the review period was 5 (0). The value
of the inventories that Lemminkäinen had tied up in Russia at the end of the
review period was EUR 47.9 million (34.0).
After the review period Lemminkäinen acquired a building plot in St. Petersburg
for a new apartment building. The 540-unit building is expected to be completed
in autumn 2013.
In Sweden the number of unsold completed housing units was 11 (2).
The main focus of Lemminkäinen's other operations outside Finland is on
industrial construction in countries such as China, India and Poland.

million (68.0). The business sector generated 56% (58) of its net sales in
Finland, 41% (36) in the other Nordic countries and 3% (6) in the Baltic states.
The operating result was EUR -24.3 million. The business sector typically makes
a loss in the first quarter due to seasonal variations. Exceptionally severe
winter conditions prevented paving operations in Norway, Denmark and Lithuania,
where paving work would be carried out in normal winter conditions. This
weakened the net sales and operating profit on the first quarter. In Finland the
new rock engineering contracts were not started up in full during the review
period.
The business sector's order book developed well in the first quarter and at the
end of the review period it was 8% higher than on the comparison period. The
order book at the end of the review period was EUR 515.1 million (474.8).
Operations in Finland
The exceptional winter increased the need for infrastructure maintenance works,
and the anticipated constraints on municipal finances has not had a significant
impact on demand for paving works.
The employment situation in rock engineering improved with the start-up of new
contracts during the review period. Demand for transport infrastructure
construction picked up and Lemminkäinen won a number of road and railway
contracts.
Demand for mineral aggregates and crushing contracting was weak in the winter
season, but the business order book at the end of the review period was good,
partly as a result of the pick-up in building construction.
Operations outside Finland
The exceptional winter during the review period prevented almost all paving
operations in Norway and Denmark. In spite of tougher competition, the order
books in these countries at the end of the review period were at the level of
the comparison period.
In Sweden the emphasis in Lemminkäinen's infrastructure construction in the
review period was on foundation reinforcement and rock engineering works. In the
review period Lemminkäinen won an excavation contract for LKAB's Kiiruna iron
ore mine. The contract is worth approx. EUR 5 million and it expands
Lemminkäinen's scope of operations to the Swedish mine excavation market.
In spite of the difficult economic situation, the Baltic infrastructure market
showed slight signs of recovery, and demand for infra works was at a reasonable
level. The order books of the Baltic states developed favourably in the review
period.
After the review period Lemminkäinen acquired a 75 % majority interest in Asfalt
Remix AS, a Norwegian company specialising in the cold milling of asphalt
pavement. In 2009 the acquired company generated net sales of approx. EUR 8
million and employed about 25 people. The acquisition broadens the service
offering of Lemminkäinen's paving business in the Norwegian infrastructure
market.
After the review period Lemminkäinen also acquired a 90.1 % majority interest in
Risa Rock AS, a Norwegian company specialising in tunnel excavation. Risa Rock
AS's net sales in 2009 were EUR 16 million and it employed 20 people. The
acquisition broadens the service offering of Lemminkäinen's Norwegian
infrastructure construction business to the rock engineering market.

The net sales of the Technical Building Services business sector remained at the
level of the comparison period and were EUR 54.2 million (55.3). The operating
profit was EUR 1.1 million (2.5). Stiffening competition and higher material
prices weakened the review period's result.
The business sector's order book was up by a third on the Q1 in 2009 at EUR
114.1 million (85.8)
The emphasis in technical building services has shifted to renovation
construction and servicing and maintenance work. After the review period
Lemminkäinen announced that it was broadening its offering in pipe renovation by
introducing a pipe coating method that avoids the demolition of existing
structures. The coating technology selected was developed by LSE-System AG of
Switzerland, which patented and introduced the technique in 1987.
Demand for the business sector's industrial services in the review period was
minimal after industry had cut back on its investments and maintenance
functions.

*) Forssan Betoni Oy, which formerly belonged to Lemminkäinen's Infrastructure
Construction business sector, was transferred on 1 January 2010 to the Building
Products business sector. The comparative figures for 2009 have also been
prepared in accordance with the new organisation.
**) From 1 January 2010 financial items are no longer reported
sector-specifically in segment reports delivered to management. For this reason
sector-specific comparative figures are presented only up until the operating
profit line.
The net sales of the Building Products business sector were EUR 20.3 million
(22.6) and the operating profit EUR -3.7 million (-2.1). The business sector
typically makes a loss in the first quarter due to seasonal variations. The
exceptionally snowy winter coupled with tougher competition and higher raw
material prices weakened profitability on the comparison period.
The order book at the end of the review period was EUR 35.7 million (40.3).
With the recovery of housing construction, demand for pre-cast concrete
staircase and façade elements picked up in the review period.
SHARES AND SHARE CAPITAL
The listed price of Lemminkäinen Corporation's share was EUR 24.20 (13.05) at
the beginning of the review period and EUR 28.12 (15.80) at the end of the
review period. The market capitalisation at the end of the review period was EUR
552.4 million (268.9). Altogether 1,769,613 shares (433,063) were traded during
the review period. The total value of the turnover was EUR 43.1 million (6.6).
At the end of the review period the Company had 5,156 (4,667) shareholders.
The Extraordinary General Meeting of Lemminkäinen Corporation, held on 12
November 2009, decided in accordance with the proposal of the Board of
Directors, to authorise the Board of Directors to resolve on a share issue
and/or an issue of special rights entitling to shares referred to in Chapter 10,
Section 1 of the Finnish Limited Liability Companies Act, in one or several
instalments, either against payment or without payment. The General Meeting also
authorised the Board of Directors to resolve on the acquisition of the Company's
own shares.
On 17 March 2010 the Board of Directors decided on two separate share issues.
The Company offered 1,700,000 new shares in the Company for subscription by
private and institutional investors approved by the Board of Directors. The
Board of Directors also decided on a share issue in which the Company offered
923,514 new shares in the Company for subscription against receipt of
consideration in the form of shares by the minority shareholders of Lemminkäinen
Corporation's subsidiaries Tekmanni Oy and Lemminkäinen Talo Oy. The
subscription price of the shares was EUR 23.25. The new shares were recorded in
the Trade Registry and listed on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd on 23 March 2010.
After the share issues the Board of Directors was still authorised to issue
1,576,486 shares and/or special rights entitling to shares. The authorisation
will remain in force for five (5) years from the date on which it was granted.
Moreover, the authority granted to the Board of Directors by the Extraordinary
General Meeting on 12 November 2009 to acquire the Company's own shares has not
been used, and it will remain in force for 18 months from the date of the
General Meeting's decision.
Lemminkäinen's share capital is EUR 34,042,500. The Company has one share series
and after the share issue the total number of issued shares is 19,644,764.
INVESTMENTS
Investments made during the review period amounted to EUR 7.5 million (10.3).
The investments were mainly replacement investments for infrastructure
construction.
PERSONNEL
The average number of employees in the Group during the review period was 7,339
(8,098), down 9% on the comparison period. 72% (69) of the personnel worked in
Finland, 11% (11) in other Nordic countries, 11% (12) in the Baltic states and
6% (8) in other countries.
In 2009 Lemminkäinen adjusted its number of personnel to the prevailing market
situation. The biggest personnel reductions were made in the Building
Construction and Building Products business sectors.

*) Forssan Betoni Oy, which formerly belonged to Lemminkäinen's Infrastructure
Construction business sector, was transferred on 1 January 2010 to the Building
Products business sector. The comparative figures for 2009 have also been
prepared in accordance with the new organisation.
ORGANISATIONAL CHANGES
A goal in the strategy is to move towards one united Lemminkäinen. This
involves, among other things, streamlining the organisation of the Group. About
20 of the Group's subsidiaries in Finland will be merged during 2010. The
changes are biggest in the Building Construction and Technical Building Services
business sectors.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In 2009 the Supreme Administrative Court (SAC) fined a number of Finnish asphalt
industry companies for violations of the Act on Competition Restrictions.
At present, 22 municipalities and the Finnish Road Administration have brought
actions for the recovery of damages from Lemminkäinen and other asphalt
companies in the District Court of Helsinki. The claimants contend that
restrictions of competition have caused them damages. The capital amount of the
claims presented against Lemminkäinen is about EUR 67 million. The claims
presented in the statements of claim differ from each other as regards their
amounts and grounds.
The decision rendered by the SAC as it stands does not mean that Lemminkäinen or
the other asphalt industry companies actually caused the parties ordering
asphalt works any damages. The SAC's decision does not concern the individual
contracts that the claimants are citing in support of their claims. Neither does
the decision concern the pricing of individual contracts, nor has the SAC
considered the claim that pricing deviating from the market price had been used
in the contracts.
Lemminkäinen's initial position is that the claims are without foundation.
The claims will be brought separately before the District Court of Helsinki and
heard in the order determined by the court. It is likely that district court
proceedings will continue into 2011.
No provision for future expense has been made in respect of the statements of
claims submitted so far to the district court by the municipalities and the
Finnish Road Administration.
THE ENVIRONMENT
Lemminkäinen Group takes life-cycle and environmental perspectives into account
when developing its operations, products and services. The management of
environmental affairs and the effects of the Group's operations on the
environment are continuously monitored by means of internal monitoring and
control programmes.
The Company's Annual Report and website provide more information on
Lemminkäinen's environmental issues.
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. The measures necessary to manage the most significant
identified risks have been specified.
In the near future, market risk poses the most significant threat to
Lemminkäinen. The international financial crisis and economic downturn are
creating uncertainty in key sectors of Lemminkäinen's operating environment and
making it more difficult to foresee future changes. As a consequence of this,
Lemminkäinen adjusted its business operations to the new market demand at the
end of 2008 and in 2009.
Although housing sales have developed favourably, the general economic situation
is still unstable. For this reason new housing starts are being made only if a
sufficiently high percentage of the units are reserved by buyers in advance.
Another risk are the aforementioned statements of claim submitted to the
District Court of Helsinki by certain municipalities and the Finnish Road
Administration.
Operating in a number of business sectors with differing cyclical behaviours is
a cornerstone of Lemminkäinen's strategy. Fluctuating demand for new
construction in Finland is counterbalanced by infrastructure construction. The
building repair and maintenance businesses account for a third of the Group's
business.
The Company's Annual Report and website provide more information on
Lemminkäinen's risk management.
OUTLOOK FOR 2010
According to economic forecasts, Finland's gross domestic production is expected
to return to growth in 2010, but the total volume of construction is still
estimated to contract. The number of new building starts will be up on 2009, and
housing production in particular is estimated to pick up with the recovery in
housing sales. Non-residential construction is likely to remain more subdued
than last year. Renovation construction is estimated to continue its steady
growth, and demand for technical building services is estimated to remain
stable. In Russia the pick-up in the housing market continued in the first
quarter and the volume of construction is estimated to grow during 2010.
Most of new major transport infrastructure projects will be underway in 2011 and
2012, but projects already in progress are providing work for infrastructure
builders. The recovery of building construction will also improve the employment
of infra builders. In Finland the government intends to make further cuts in its
investments in basic highway maintenance and it is estimated that the
constrained finances of the municipalities may reduce the volume of
infrastructure construction this year.
The other Nordic countries have budgeted additional investments on the
development of infrastructure construction, which is estimated to keep these
markets at a favourable level in the years ahead. The situation in the Baltic
states will continue to be challenging.
Demand for building materials follows the building construction cycle, and
demand is estimated to pick up with the growing recovery of residential
construction in 2010.
Lemminkäinen estimates that net sales and the result before taxes for the 2010
accounting period will be at the 2009 level, the infringement fine imposed by
the SAC being excluded from the 2009 comparative figures.
EVENTS AFTER THE REVIEW PERIOD
AGM decisions and governance
On 16 April 2010 Lemminkäinen Corporation's Annual General Meeting approved the
Company's final accounts and consolidated financial statements for 2009 and
granted the members of the Board of Directors and the President & CEO discharge
from liability. The Annual General Meeting decided in accordance with the Board
of Directors' proposal that no dividend would be paid for the 2009 accounting
period.
The following persons were re-elected to serve on the Board of Directors: Berndt
Brunow, Juhani Mäkinen, Mikael Mäkinen, Kristina Pentti-von Walzel, Heikki Räty

Helsinki, 6 May 2010
LEMMINKÄINEN CORPORATION
Board of Directors
TABULATED SECTION OF THE INTERIM FINANCIAL REVIEW
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
This interim financial review has been prepared in accordance with the same IFRS
recognition and measurement principles as those applied in the annual financial
statements for 2009 with the below-mentioned changes. As the tabulated section
is presented in abridged format, not all of the requirements of the IAS 34
Interim Financial Reporting Standard have been observed in the preparation of
the review.
The information contained in the interim financial review has not been audited.
The interpretation IFRIC 15 - Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate was
adopted from the beginning of 2010. The comparative figures starting from
1.1.2009 have also been calculated in accordance with the provisions of the new
interpretation. IFRIC 15 affected not only the figures of Lemminkäinen Group but
also those of the Building Construction business sector. Furthermore, Forssan
Betoni Oy, which formerly belonged to the Infrastructure Construction business
sector, was transferred at the beginning of January 2010 to the Building
Products business sector. The Group and business sector-specific figures given
in this bulletin are pro forma figures.
Standards and interpretations adopted from the beginning of 2010
- IFRIC 15. Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate. The interpretation
clarifies whether an agreement for the construction of real estate falls within
the scope of IAS 11 Construction Contracts or IAS 18 Revenue, and when income
from such construction projects can be recognised on the basis of percentage of
completion. In Lemminkäinen Group the new interpretation affects especially the
income recognition practice for own housing production, the basis of which
changed on 1 January 2010 from percentage-of-completion to full completion and
delivery.
- IFRIC 12 Service Concession Arrangements. The interpretation applies to
contractual arrangements whereby a private-sector operator participates in the
development, financing, operation of public services or the maintenance of
infrastructure.
- IFRS 3 (Revised), Business combinations. The revised standard continues to
apply the acquisition method to business combinations, with some significant
changes. For example, all costs directly associated with the transaction are to
be expensed as incurred. Contingent consideration is to be recorded at fair
value even if its realisation may be presumed unlikely at the transaction date.
Subsequent changes in contingent liabilities are recorded at fair value through
income, and not as an adjustment to goodwill, as was the practice before the
adoption of the interpretation. In a step acquisition, previously acquired
equity interests are recorded at fair value at the acquisition date. Goodwill
may be calculated based on the parent company's share of net assets or it may
include goodwill related to the non-controlling interest. The revision does not
have any essential bearing on the figures presented in the Interim Financial
Review.
- IAS 27 (Revised), Consolidated and separate financial statements. The revised
standard requires the effects of all transactions with non-controlling interests
to be recorded in equity if there is no change in control. Thus, transactions
with non-controlling interests will no longer result in goodwill or the
recognition of gains or losses through profit or loss. The standard also
specifies the accounting when control is lost. Any remaining interest in the
entity is remeasured to fair value and a gain or loss is recognised through
profit or loss.
- IAS 17 (Revised), Leases. The revised standard requires the classification of
land areas as finance leasing or some other leasing agreements in accordance
with the general classification criteria of IAS 17. The revision does not have
any essential bearing on the figures presented in the Interim Financial Review.
An assessment indicates that the following interpretations and standards have no
essential bearing on Lemminkäinen Group's Interim Financial Review: IAS 1
(Revised), IAS 18 (Revised), IAS 38 (Revised), IAS 39 (Revised), IFRS 2
(Revised), IFRS 5 (Revised), IFRS 8 (Revised), IFRIC 9, IFRIC 16, IFRIC 17 and
IFRIC 18.
Effects of new interpretations of IFRS standards in the future
The standards and interpretations published by IASB and listed below will come
into force in 2011 or thereafter. The Group has decided against their early
adoption and will apply them in future accounting periods.
An assessment indicates that the following interpretations and standards have no
essential bearing on Lemminkäinen Group's financial statements: IAS 24
(Revised), IFRIC 14, IFRIC 19.

7) SEGMENT INFORMATION
IFRS 8 Operating Segment Reporting requires that reported segment information be
based on internal segment reporting to management, which in Lemminkäinen Group
means the President of Lemminkäinen Corporation, who is the chief operative
decision-maker. Internal segment reporting to management covers net sales,
depreciation, operating profit, non-current assets, inventories and trade
receivables.
The segment information reported to management is generally prepared according
to the same principles as those applied in the consolidated financial
statements. Imputed items are not considered in segment reporting. Such items
include, among others, depreciation of assets acquired by finance leasing,
interest separated from payments and warranty provisions. In segment reporting
to management, finance leasing arrangements are treated as ordinary rental
agreements, which deviate from the accounting principles of IFRS financial
statements. Affiliated companies are combined in segment reporting in proportion
to ownership share using the line-by-line method. In IFRS financial statements
affiliated companies are combined by the equity method. In segment reporting,
intersegment sales are not allocated to segments, owing to their minimal
magnitude, and are not reported to management.
The interpretation IFRIC 15 - Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate was
adopted from the beginning of 2010. The comparative figures starting from
1.1.2009 have also been calculated in accordance with the provisions of the new
interpretation. IFRIC 15 affected not only the figures of Lemminkäinen Group but
also those of the Building Construction business sector. Furthermore, Forssan
Betoni Oy, which formerly belonged to the Infrastructure Construction business
sector, was transferred at the beginning of January 2010 to the Building
Products business sector. The Group and business sector-specific figures given
in this bulletin are pro forma figures

11) LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In 2009 the Supreme Administrative Court (SAC) fined a number of Finnish asphalt
industry companies for violations of the Act on Competition Restrictions.
At present, 22 municipalities and the Finnish Road Administration have brought
actions for the recovery of damages from Lemminkäinen and other asphalt
companies in the District Court of Helsinki. The claimants contend that
restrictions of competition have caused them damages. The capital amount of the
claims presented against Lemminkäinen is about EUR 67 million. The claims
presented in the statements of claim differ from each other as regards their
amounts and grounds.
The decision rendered by the SAC as it stands does not mean that Lemminkäinen or
the other asphalt industry companies actually caused the parties ordering
asphalt works any damages. The SAC's decision does not concern the individual
contracts that the claimants are citing in support of their claims. Neither does
the decision concern the pricing of individual contracts, nor has the SAC
considered the claim that pricing deviating from the market price had been used
in the contracts.
Lemminkäinen's initial position is that the claims are without foundation.
The claims will be brought separately before the District Court of Helsinki and
heard in the order determined by the court. It is likely that district court
proceedings will continue into 2011.
No provision for future expense has been made in respect of the statements of
claims submitted so far to the district court by the municipalities and the
Finnish Road Administration.
