COMPARISON FIGURES FOR 2011, UNDER LEMMINKÄINEN'S NEW SECTOR DIVISION

From the beginning of 2012, Lemminkäinen's business operations are organised into four business sectors: International Operations, Building Construction, Infrastructure Construction and Technical Building Services.

Effective 1 January 2012, Lemminkäinen's international operations were organised into a new business sector - the company's fourth - which the company created out of its international operations to ensure profitable growth and the company's competitiveness in an international operating environment. The International Operations business sector will contain all Lemminkäinen's business functions outside Finland. In addition to Finland, Lemminkäinen's main market areas comprise the other Nordic countries, Russia and the Baltic countries. This business sector change aims to take better account of these growth markets in operational management and development.

Comparison figures for 2011, based on the new sector division, are presented in the following:
