Valmet Oyj's stock exchange release (inside information) on October 11, 2024 at
4:05 p.m. EEST
Valmet changes its Comparable EBITA guidance for 2024. For net sales, the
guidance remains unchanged.

The services market has developed somewhat slower in EMEA, China and Asia
-Pacific than Valmet earlier expected. Furthermore, the market activity in board
and paper process technologies has been slower than earlier expected and some
customers have postponed their final investment decisions.

New guidance for 2024:

Valmet estimates that net sales in 2024 will remain at the previous year's level
in comparison with 2023 (EUR 5,532 million) and Comparable EBITA in 2024 will
remain at the previous year's level in comparison with 2023 (EUR 619 million).

Previous guidance for 2024, issued on June 13, 2024:

Valmet estimates that net sales in 2024 will remain at the previous year's level
in comparison with 2023 (EUR 5,532 million) and Comparable EBITA in 2024 will
increase in comparison with 2023 (EUR 619 million).

Thomas Hinnerskov, President and CEO:

“While we expect net sales and Comparable EBITA to remain at last year's level
in 2024, we are fully committed to continuing the journey towards reaching
Valmet's financial target of 12-14% Comparable EBITA.”
