Applying the IFRS 8 standard has not affected the Group's reported result or its financial position. Group management monitors the performance of the business segments, and the Group had already organized its management structure in line with the present segment structure.
The Group's operating profit in the period excluding one-time items was EUR -13.8 (53.9) million. The operating result declined from the previous year due to the sharp fall in volumes, which was mainly due to lack of activity on the market and because customers were reducing their own inventories. The adaption measures carried out this year and at the end of last year, coupled with lower production volumes helped to reduce the Group's operating costs in the review period by 57% in proportion to the value of production. Other operating income includes exchange rate differences on sales and purchases.

The Group's interest-bearing net debt, excluding the outstanding capital notes of EUR 34.4 million, stood at EUR 213.3 (204.2) million. The costs of the debt financing have increased during the review period. The company's net debt as a proportion of shareholders' equity, including the capital notes in shareholders' equity, was 194.6% (121.6%).

-9.8 (-30.0) million, which includes the cash flow from the Group's investments in production facilities and the cash flow from shares sold and purchased and from fixed assets sold.
At the end of the review period the Group's equity ratio was 18.1% (22.8%). The Group's shareholders' equity on 30 September 2009, including the capital notes in shareholders' equity, as a proportion of the balance sheet total was 26.4% (32.7%). The Group's equity ratio has been impacted negatively by the change of the cumulative translation difference of EUR 30.5 million since the beginning of 2008.
Performance of business divisions
Componenta's reporting structure changed when Componenta Wirsbo was transferred from Other Business to the Machine Shops division on 31 March 2009 and Tegelen Pattern Shop, a unit that makes casting patterns in the Netherlands, was transferred also from Other Business to the Foundries division as from 1 January 2009. The figures for the first three quarters of 2009 are reported in accordance with the new structure, and all figures for comparison for the divisions for 2008 have been adjusted to bring them in line with this reporting structure.
Foundries
The Foundries division comprises the Group's iron foundries in Karkkila, Pori, Pietarsaari and lisalmi in Finland and in Weert and Heerlen in the Netherlands, as well as the Tegelen pattern shop in the Netherlands.
The division's net sales in the review period declined 57% to EUR 98.9 (231.5) million and the operating profit was EUR -9.6 million, corresponding to -9.7% of net sales (EUR 23.4 million, 10.1%). Extremely low capacity usage was the main factor having a negative impact on the division's operating result.
In the third quarter the division had net sales of EUR 26.8 (71.5) million and an operating result of EUR -2.6 $(2.2)$ million.
Machine shops
The Machine shops division comprises the Främmestad machine shop and the Wirsbo forge in Sweden, the machine shops in Lempäälä and Pietarsaari in Finland, the machine shop operations in Weert in the Netherlands, and the machine shop in Orhangazi, Turkey.
The net sales of the Machine shops division fell 64% to EUR 68.8 (192.8) million and the operating profit was EUR -8.5, corresponding to -12.3% of net sales (EUR 7.5 million, 3.9%) in the review period. The division's operating profit weakened mainly due to low volumes. A further factor was that a large part of the division's personnel is based in Sweden, where adjusting the number of personnel has been slower than in the other countries where Componenta operates.
The division had net sales in the third quarter of EUR 19.0 (56.1) million and an operating profit of EUR -2.9 $(0.7)$ million.
Turkey
The Turkey division comprises the iron foundry in Orhangazi and the aluminium foundry and production unit for aluminium wheels in Manisa.
Net sales of the Turkey division in the review period fell 63% to EUR 78.9 (212.3) million and the operating profit was EUR 1.3 million, corresponding to 1.7% of net sales (EUR 24.1 million, 11.4%). The division's operating profit for the review period was hit by the sharp decline in volumes. Adjusting the costs has succeeded well in Turkey, and despite the extremely low capacity utilization rate the division's operating result has been positive in the second and third quarters.
STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE
15.10.2009 at 9.30

Purchasing and disposing of company shares
Componenta's extraordinary general meeting of shareholders held on 8 September 2009 decided in accordance with the proposal of the Board of Directors to authorize the Board to decide to issue shares and grant special rights with an entitlement to shares as defined in chapter 10, section 1 of the Finnish Limited Liabilities Companies Act in one or more issues, either against payment or free of charge. The number of shares to be issued, including the shares to be obtained under the special rights, may be a maximum of 8,000,000 shares. The Board may decide to issue either new shares or any company shares held by the company. A total of 6,500,000 shares from the authorization were used in the 2009 share issue, so 1,500,000 shares remain under the authorization. The authorization cancels the authorization given the Board by the AGM on 26 February 2007 to decide to issue shares and grant special rights with entitlement to shares.
Under the authorization mentioned above given the Board by the AGM on 26 February 2007, on 16 April 2009 the Board of Directors of Componenta Corporation resolved to make a free direct issue of shares in order to pay the bonus for the 2007-2008 earnings periods in Componenta Group's 2007-2009 sharebased incentive scheme. In the share issue, 12,100 Componenta Corporation shares were issued and conveyed without consideration to the key personnel participating in the share-based incentive scheme, in accordance with the terms of the scheme.
Under the authorization of the AGM held on 23 February 2009, the Board of Directors may decide to purchase a maximum of 1,000,000 of the Company's own shares using the Company's unrestricted shareholders' equity. The shares shall be purchased in public trading, for which reason they will be purchased other than in proportion to the holdings of shareholders. The purchase price shall be based on the market price for Componenta shares in public trading. The shares shall be purchased on the NASDAQ OMX Helsinki and in accordance with its rules and regulations. The Board of Directors may not implement the authorization to purchase the Company's own shares if after the purchase the Company or its subsidiary would possess or hold in pledge altogether more than 10 per cent of all the Company's shares. The authorization does not exclude the right of the Board of Directors to decide on a direct purchase of shares. The authorization is valid for a period of 18 months from the date of the decision of the AGM. The Board has not exercised this authorization to purchase company shares.

Share-based incentive scheme
The share-based incentive scheme is based on the decision taken on 3 April 2007 by the Board of Directors of Componenta Corporation. The scheme comprises three one-year earnings periods, which are the calendar years 2007, 2008 and 2009. The bonuses will be paid in 2008, 2009 and 2010 partly in company shares and partly in cash. The part to be paid in cash will cover the tax and similar charges arising from the bonus. There is a ban on selling the shares for two years after the end of the earnings period.
Any yield from the incentive scheme is based on the positive development of the Group's cash flow in 2009. At the end of the review period the target group contained 45 people. If the targets set for the scheme are met in full, the scheme will pay a bonus of a maximum of 132,000 Componenta Corporation shares. For the 2009 earnings period, a maximum of 87,400 Componenta Corporation shares will be allocated in the scheme. The President and CEO will account for a maximum of 26,000 out of the total figure and other key personnel for altogether a maximum of 61,400 shares.
Investments
Componenta's investments in production facilities during the review period totalled EUR 10.9 (31.9) million, and finance lease investments accounted for EUR 3.4 (2.5) million of these. The net cash flow from investments was EUR -9.8 (-30.0) million.
Board of Directors and Management
Componenta's Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on 23 February 2009 elected the following to the Board of Directors: Heikki Bergholm, Yriö Julin, Heikki Lehtonen, Juhani Mäkinen, Mario Miettinen and Matti Tikkakoski. The Board held its organization meeting after the AGM and elected Heikki Bergholm as its Chairman and Juhani Mäkinen as its Vice Chairman.
At the end of the review period the corporate executive team of Componenta Corporation comprised the following: President and CEO Heikki Lehtonen; Yaylalý Günay, Senior Vice President, Investments; Hakan Göral, Senior Vice President, Turkey division, CFO Mika Hassinen; Olli Karhunen, Senior Vice President, Foundries division; Jari Leino, Sales Director, Heavy Trucks; Anu Mankki, Senior Vice President, Human Resources; Tapio Rantala, Director, Business Development; Michael Sjöberg, Senior Vice President, Machine Shops division, and Communications Director Pirjo Aarniovuori.
Personnel
During the review period the Group had on average 3.824 (5.377) employees, including 123 (963) leased employees. The number of Group personnel at the end of September 2009 was 3,734 (5,332), which includes 96 (919) leased employees. At the end of the review period 46% (48%) of the Group's personnel were in Turkey, 28% (24%) in Finland, 17% (18%) in the Netherlands and 9% (10%) in Sweden. The combined sum for personnel expenses and external services in the Group declined EUR 68.6 million, or 51%, in the review period from the corresponding period in the previous year.
Risks
Fluctuations in the prices of Componenta Group's main raw material, recycled metal, affect the sales margins on the Group's products. Increases in the price of the raw materials are passed on to the products supplied to customers after a certain delay, so a rise in the price of recycled metal reduces the sales margin temporarily. When the prices of recycled metal go down, the Group's margins correspondingly improve for a while.
The electricity consumption of the Group's foundries and machine shops creates a spot price risk for the purchased electricity. The Group purchases electricity price forwards to hedge against the impact of

electricity prices on the financial performance. The target hedging level for the forecast electricity consumption by the Group's production plants is 90 % for the next 12 months, 60 % for the following year and 40 % for the third year. Trading in electricity price forwards has been outsourced. The Group aims to pass on the increase in the price of electricity to customers with a separate electricity surcharge.
Appropriate insurance has been taken against risks associated with assets and interruption of operations and to minimize indemnity.
The financial risks relating to Componenta Group's business operations are managed in accordance with the treasury policy approved by the Board of Directors. The objective is to protect the Group against unfavourable changes in the finance markets and to secure the Group's financial performance and financial position. Management of financial risks takes place in the corporate treasury function.
Translating the shareholders' equity of Componenta Turkey into euros creates a significant translation risk for the Group in Turkish lira. Changes in the value of the US dollar, the UK pound and the euro in relation to the Turkish lira have an impact on the company's operating profit and profit after financial items in the short term.
According to Componenta's treasury policy, the currency risk is divided into the transaction risk resulting from foreign currency denominated income and expenses and the translation risk resulting from foreign currency denominated equity investments and the profit or loss on these.
The transaction position is formed by foreign currency-denominated sales receivables and trade payables in the balance sheet where changes in these affect the operating profit. Foreign currency-denominated cash and cash in bank are processed separately from this position, as are the Group's internal and external foreign currency loans, for which the impact on the result arising from changes in exchange rates is entered under financial income and expenses. The degree of hedging for both transaction positions is set at 90-110 %. For Componenta Turkey, however, the net value is calculated after setting foreign currencydenominated sales receivables in the balance sheet against foreign currency-denominated debt, taking advantage of the natural hedging relationship. If the total sums of the foreign currency-denominated balance sheet items in Turkey differ from each other, the degree of hedging shall be decided by the president and CEO up to EUR 20 million.
The translation position is determined from the shareholder's equity and retained earnings of non-Finnish subsidiary and associated companies for whom the operating currency is not the euro. In accordance with the treasury policy, the translation position is hedged at the discretion of the Group's President and CEO 0-100 %.
The Group has no significant concentrations of risk for receivables. The current general economic situation increases customer credit risk. To reduce credit risk, receivables from major customers have been sold to financial institutions without any right of recourse and the payment periods for smaller customers have been shortened. Monitoring of receivables has also been intensified and the Group has had to resort to bans on deliveries to several smaller customers in order to control the credit risk. The Group recognized no major credit losses during the review period.
The company's financial agreements contain normal clauses according to which the company's loans may fall due for payment before the maturity date if control of the company changes in consequence of a public purchase offer. The company is not party to any other significant contracts that will come into force, that can be amended or that can cease to be valid if control of the company changes in consequence of a public purchase offer.

Prospects
Componenta's prospects for the remainder of 2009 are based on general external financial indicators, order forecasts given by customers, and on Componenta's order intake and order book.
The demand outlook in the Group's customer sectors remains weak at the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2009, due to the current recession in the global economy.
The low volume of construction in the USA and Europe has reduced demand considerably in the off-road industry. Investments by the mining industry have decreased significantly in 2009. Because of the global recession, many countries have initiated infrastructure projects, and it is estimated that these projects will increase the demand for off-road vehicles in 2010. The demand for agricultural machinery has decreased less than the other sectors in the off-road industry.
The number of heavy trucks registered in Europe in the January - August period was 48% less than in the previous year. This year production volumes are expected to decline 50 - 60% from 2008. Heavy truck manufacturers have been heavily clearing their own stocks this year. The manufacturers' stocks are however estimated to reach the level corresponding to the current demand at the latest by the end of the year. However, the dealers' stocks of used heavy trucks are still at high level.
The number of new passenger cars registered in Europe in the January - August period decreased 8% from the previous year. Automotive production in Europe has increased compared to the beginning of the year, which has been affected by various subsidy measures taken in many countries, aimed at renewing the fleet of cars.
Demand in the wind power sector has weakened as wind power projects have faced problems with financing. Demand for diesel engines has taken a downward turn. Due to the long order book, deliveries to the engine manufacturers have remained at a reasonable level. Weakened prospects will decrease the number of components delivered to customers as they reduce their own stocks.
Demand in the machine building industry is expected to remain at a low level.
Componenta's order book in the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2009 was 60% lower than at the same time in the previous year. The order book has been heavily reduced by the clear fall in demand as well as continued measures taken by customers to reduce their own stocks, the effect of which is expected to cease by the year-end.
Investments in production facilities are estimated to be around MEUR 12 (MEUR 42.3) in 2009.
Componenta Group's 2009 net sales are expected to fall more than 50% from the previous year and the result after financial items, excluding one-time items, is expected to be clearly negative. However, it is estimated that the Group's cash flow from operations will be positive due to the major reduction in working capital.
