Historic quarterly net sales and operating profit for Uponor Infra's merged
businesses in the years 2012 and 2013

Uponor Infra Oy, a joint venture of Uponor Corporation and the KWH Group,
started operations on 1 July 2013. The new company combined the infrastructure
pipe systems businesses of both companies into one jointly held company. Its
ownership is divided between Uponor at 55.3% and KWH Group at 44.7%. Uponor
Infra Oy is consolidated in Uponor Corporation as a separate segment.

Uponor has compiled the attached historic performance data for businesses that
were merged to form Uponor Infra. The data is given below for the following
entities:

  • KWH Pipe Group's infrastructure business related information. This
    information excludes the PEX business that was acquired by Uponor Building
    Solutions - Europe in a separate transaction prior to the merger. Due to the
    bimonthly reporting cycle that was used in the KWH Pipe Group, these numbers
    represent the management's best estimate.
  • Uponor Infrastructure Solutions information represents the officially
    published information for that segment.
  • Uponor Infra information is a sum of the above two lines.
  • Uponor Group consolidated, continuing operations information shows the Uponor
    Group published information where the KWH Pipe Group's infrastructure business
    related figures have been included.

Until 30 June 2013, Uponor's infrastructure business was referred to as
Infrastructure Solutions. From 1 July 2013 onwards, the segment is called
Uponor Infra.

These historic numbers are estimates only and cannot be used to calculate
future performance in a reliable way.
