Wulff’s Operating Result 2013 Will Be Negative

Wulff’s Operating Result 2013 Will Be Negative

WULFF GROUP PLC

STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE September 24, 2013 at 2.15 P.M.

WULFF'S OPERATING RESULT 2013 WILL BE NEGATIVE

The markets have not improved as expected and the demand for Wulff's products
has decreased from last year. Wulff reports an impairment of EUR 0.6 million
from its business gift goodwill which decreases down to EUR 0.7 million. Based
on the Group management's forecast the operating result will be negative in
2013.

Typically in the industry, the annual profit is made in the last quarter of the
year. Also in 2013 the last quarter will be the strongest. The cost-efficiency
improvement actions of 2013 will affect positively the result of 2014.

In 2012, the Group's net sales totalled EUR 90 million and operating profit
reached EUR 1.1 million.

In its stock exchange release on June 17, 2013 Wulff Group Plc informed that
based on the Group management's outlook for 2013, it seemed probable that the
last year's operating profit level will not be reached.

Wulff publishes its interim report for January-September 2013 on Tuesday
November 5, 2013.

In Vantaa on September 24, 2013.
