SOLTEQ PLC STOCK EXCHANGE BULLETIN 16.1.2007 ADVANCE INFORMATION ON NET SALES AND PROFIT FOR 2006 The Solteq Groups net sales and operating profit will be weaker than previously forecasted. According to the preliminary estimate the net sales totals about EUR 23,2 million and operating profit EUR -0,5 million for the financial period of 1.1.-31.12.2006. The profit after taxes is estimated to be slightly positive. The estimated net sales growth and operating profit will be lower than the company has previously forecasted, mainly due to slower than expected sales in the fourth quarter of 2006. The reason for this is the lengthening of a few individual sales projects and the slower progression of agreed projects. Some of the sales projects have already been closed during January 2007. The operating profit for the year is additionally weakened by the non-recurring items, total impact of EUR 0,8 million. The non-recurring items include the compensation for damages ruled by the Tampere district court and the employment termination costs as a consequence of the co-operating negotiations. The profit after taxes is positively affected by the deferred tax item due to intercompany structuration, as already informed in Interim Report of third quarter.
