STROMSDAL CORPORATION COMPANY ANNOUNCEMENT October 13 2008, at 9.30 pm (Finnish time) STROMSDAL CORPORATION REDUCES ITS WHOLE YEAR RESULT ESTIMATE The international finance crisis and the increasing difficulties of getting bank financing have seriously effected Stromsdal's business. Last week the order intake started, at least temporary, to weaken and many customers informed about payment delays due to financing problems. These customers have not ordered goods from us, according to their normal timetable. Due to problems above, the finance situation has become very tight. Stromsdal has started negotiations with its bankers. Because of the financing and marketing situation, the company has decided to start co-operation negotiations with all its employees. The weak market situation and the fast weakening order intake mean that EBITDA for the fourth quarter will be negative. This means also that EBITDA for the whole year will be negative. The company has previously informed that the target for this year is to achieve positive EBITDA.
