* Vaisala acquired Veriteq as part of its Controlled Environment business area on April 1, 2010. The proforma figures for January-September of 2010 and the full year 2010 presented in this release for comparison purposes include the first quarter 2010 figures of Veriteq. For example, references to organic growth are based on comparisons with Vaisala 2010 proforma figures.
Orders received increased year-on-year by 21 percent in the third quarter. Most of the growth came from Meteorology business area. The order book increased by 10 percent year-on-year.
Net sales year-on-year increased in the Weather Critical Operations business area, but declined in Meteorology. In Controlled Environment, net sales remained at last year's level. At Group level, the net sales declined by 3 percent year-on-year, also compared to proforma net sales.
Vaisala's operating result declined, mainly due to the Meteorology business area and project business in emerging markets. The operating result of the Controlled Environment business area was impacted by Life Science growth investments.
Current increased uncertainty in the global economy and shifts in exchange rates are expected to affect all Vaisala's business areas. However, based on Vaisala's technology and the structure of Vaisala's customer base, the company's competitive position is expected to remain mostly unchanged in 2011.
Vaisala expects its net sales in 2011 to grow moderately from the preceding year's proforma net sales. The operating profit is expected to improve moderately. Proforma net sales in 2010 were EUR 254.6 million and the operating result was EUR 11.8 million.
Vaisala's long-term business outlook remains unchanged.
"Order intake grew by 21 percent in the third quarter, which is a good achievement considering the uncertainty in the markets in North-America and Europe. The growth is partly due to increased demand especially among our meteorological customers, but it is also a sign of our strong market position and leading products.
Vaisala's net sales and profitability improved during January-September, despite our ongoing significant growth investments. Also our Service business remained on growth path and the related net sales increased by 30 percent during January-September.
In the third quarter, we combined our two weather-related business areas Meteorology and Weather Critical Operations into one. Starting from the fourth quarter 2011 and onwards, Vaisala will report its results in two business areas: Weather and Controlled Environment. The reason for this move is to consolidate our global efforts in the growing project and service business.
Going forward, our guidance for the full year is unchanged."
Current increased uncertainty in the global economy is affecting the businesses where Vaisala operates. However, Vaisala has been able to retain its market shares.

Hannu Katajamäki was appointed Executive Vice President, Vaisala Services and a member of Vaisala's Business and Strategic Management Groups starting April 1, 2011. Scott Sternberg, the former head of Vaisala Services, continues as President, Vaisala Inc and remains a member of Vaisala's Strategic Management Group.
Vesa Pylvänäinen was appointed Executive Vice President, Vaisala Operations and a member of Vaisala's Business and Strategic Management Groups. He started in his new position on May 9, 2011.
Kaarina Muurinen was appointed Vaisala's Chief Financial Officer and a member of Vaisala's Business and Strategic Management Groups. She started in her new position on September 19, 2011. Jouni Lintunen, the former CFO, has taken on new responsibilities within Vaisala.
Riina Kirmanen, Director of Marketing, was appointed a member of Vaisala's Strategic Management Group starting October 1, 2011.
Vaisala is exposed to changes in global trade or in political and economic environments and natural disasters. These may affect Vaisala's business for example in terms of component availability, order cancellations, logistics and loss in market potential.
The most significant near term risks and uncertainties are estimated to relate to volatility in the global economy, delays or cuts in government spending impacting customers' financing capability, shifts in currency exchange rates, interruptions in manufacturing, availability of critical components, changes in purchasing or investment behavior, and delays or cancellations of orders and deliveries. Changes in the competitive landscape may affect the volume and profitability of the business by introducing new competitors and price erosion in areas that traditionally have been strong for the company. This may constitute risks for both the net sales and profit.
Market trends and the realization of projects affect the net sales and operating result. The company has expanded its project activities in emerging markets where project profitability is lower than in more developed markets, due to the market-making nature of the business. The share of project business is also growing. Should the assumptions regarding profitability and new business opportunities in the project business prove wrong, this may constitute a risk for Vaisala's net sales and profit.
Changes in subcontractor relations, their operations or operating environment may have a negative impact on Vaisala's business. Vaisala monitors these risks and prepares for them in accordance with the company's risk management policy.
Vaisala is currently implementing significant development projects that are building a foundation for the successful execution of Vaisala's strategy. A new Group-wide ERP system is also in the implementation phase.
Vaisala has made acquisitions and their impact on net sales and operating result depends essentially on the success of integration activities. If the assumptions about achievable synergies prove incorrect or the integration does not meet the predefined targets, these may constitute a short-term risk for Vaisala's net sales and result.
