LASSILA & TIKANOJA'S FULL-YEAR RESULT TO BE SOMEWHAT LOWER THAN ANTICIPATED

LASSILA & TIKANOJA PLC 	COMPANY ANNOUNCEMENT 
			       22 JULY 2008 9.55 am 

The full-year operating profit excluding non-recurring and imputed items is
estimated to be somewhat lower than in the previous year. Previously the
company estimated that the full-year financial performance will remain at the
same level as in the previous year. 

The performance is burdened by general increase in costs and especially the
rise in fuel prices, which will be transferred to sales prices with a delay. 

Lassila & Tikanoja's operating profit excluding non-recurring and imputed items
for the second quarter was EUR 11.3 million (2007: EUR 13.8 million). 

Interim report for the period 1 January - 30 June 2008 will be released on 29
July at 8.00 am.
