Ponsse discontinues all operations in Russia and withdraws its profit guidance

Ponsse Plc has decided today to discontinue temporarily all export operations to
Russia and Belarus for both PONSSE forest machines and their spare parts. Also
the Ponsse Group's Russian subsidiary OOO Ponsse is discontinues temporarily its
local spare parts and service operations. Sales in Russia and Belarus account
for about 20 percent of the company's net sales calculated from the 2021
financial statements.

At the same time, Ponsse Plc withdraws its profit guidance for the current year.
The new profit quidance is linked to the uncertainties caused by Russia's
invasion of Ukraine and EU sanctions. The company announces that it will not
provide new guidance for the current year. In accordance with the previous
profit quidance, Group´s euro-denominated operating result in 2022 is estimated
to be on a par with 2021.

In this challenging situation, Ponsse also strives to take care of the OOO
Ponsse's personnel.
