Kemira Oyj's Annual General Meeting will be held today at 1 p.m. in
Marina Congress Center, Helsinki. The language of the meeting will be
Finnish.
President and CEO Lasse Kurkilahti will reiterate the outlook for
2007 published in the financial statement bulletin for 2006. Kemira
Group expects to continue its growth in 2007, as a result of both the
previous acquisitions and organic growth. Raw material and energy
prices as well as transportation costs are projected to behave more
moderately than in 2006. Full-year revenue, operating profit, and
earnings per share for 2007 are expected to show an increase from
2006 levels.
President and CEO Kurkilahti's presentation materials for the Annual
General Meeting will be available in both Finnish and English on the
company's website at www.kemira.com, after the presentation has
begun.
