Matti Hyytiäinen, President and CEO of Etteplan Oyj, comments on the interim
report:

”Business operations of Etteplan's central customers continued to develop
favorably and as a consequence demand for our company's design services
remained at a good level in the review period.

Our company's revenue grew 14 per cent in the review period. Operating profit
was at the same level with the comparison period, but improved compared to the
beginning of the year. Operating profit for business operations in Sweden
developed favorably compared to the previous quarter. However, it still
remained at a low level. Measures to develop the profitability of operations in
Sweden continue.

We continued recruitment in all our market areas. The utilization rate of
design capacity was at a good level and we estimate that the utilization rate
of capacity will remain at a good level during the rest of the year.
Rationalization measures executed in the beginning of the year will improve
profitability towards the end of the year. ”
