Growth in net sales was nearly 25%. The operating result for the reporting period was considerably better than the corresponding period the previous year, 15.44 (8.83) million euros. The operating result was 36.1% (25.8%) of net sales. The Defence business is included in the 2007 figures for the first four months. Net sales of the continuing businesses in January-September 2007 amounted to 41.81 (33.08) million euros, increasing by approximately 26%. The operating result of the continuing businesses amounted to 12.91 (8.92) million euros, the operating result percentage was 30.9% (27.0%).

The operating result for the quarter was 5.82 (3.94) million euros; the operating result percentage for the third quarter was 39.4% (34.5%). - Tekla's excellent figures for the third quarter further strengthen our confidence that the investments for the future, mainly increases to personnel, have been correct. The fact that some rather major deals were made in July-September contributed to the extremely good operating result. In addition, the development of costs was moderate, one of the reasons for this being the holiday season. The number of personnel grew slower than during the first two quarters, says Ari Kohonen, Tekla's President and CEO. - Our main business area, Building & Construction, achieved record quarterly net sales in July-September (12.01 million euros), increasing by 33% compared to the corresponding period the previous year. Sales in the key markets were extraordinary. The third quarter was excellent especially in our largest market, North America. Sales developed extremely favorably in India, the Nordic countries and the Middle East as well. - Our second business area, Infra & Energy, is proceeding according to plans. We are very satisfied with I&E's sales during the third quarter and especially its profitability. The Board increases the company's net sales and profit outlook for the year as a whole. Net sales of the continuing business operations are estimated to exceed those of the previous year by 20% to 25%. The earlier forecast of growth in net sales was approximately 20%. The operating result of the continuing businesses is expected to be clearly better than the previous year. The forecast is specified so that the operating result will exceed the level of the previous year (28%). The Building & Construction business area generates the majority of Tekla's net sales and operating profit. Net sales of Infra & Energy are expected to experience moderate annual growth, and its result to be better than the previous year. - - Tekla is the industry-leading international software company whose innovative software solutions make customers' core business more effective in building and construction, energy distribution and in municipalities. The company's model-based software products and related services are used in more than 80 countries. Tekla Group's net sales for 2006 were approximately 50 million euros and operating result 13.6 million euros. International operations account for more than 80% of net sales.

Building & Construction Tekla's Building & Construction business area (B&C) develops and markets the Tekla Structures software product for model-based design of steel and concrete structures as well as the management of fabrication and construction. The trends in the building industry have remained favorable in all key market areas. Demand for modeling systems is on the rise, and product modeling is strengthening its position in structural design and other stages of the building process. Tekla's market position as a supplier of 3D modeling software is strong in all markets and the numbers of users continued to increase. B&C's customers' business volumes show no sign of letting up. Effects of volume changes on the demand for Tekla's products are not linear, and in addition they are difficult to predict. Tekla's products are primarily used in commercial, office and industrial buildings. B&C's most significant single market is the United States, where the weakened outlooks refer to residential construction. The net sales of B&C amounted to 33.44 (24.97) million euros for January-September 2007. Net sales increased by approximately 34% compared to the same period the previous year. Its operating result was 12.11 (8.78) million euros. B&C's operating profit percentage for the reporting period was 36.2% (35.2%). Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the US dollar and the euro had a slightly negative effect on B&C's net sales and result. During the third quarter, B&C's net sales amounted to 12.01 (9.00) million euros. This was the business area's best quarter ever in terms of net sales. B&C's operating result was excellent: 5.17 (3.73) million euros. Increase in the number of personnel continued also during the third quarter in order to ensure favorable development. By far the most of B&C's net sales were still due to the product offering for structural steel engineering. Sales of B&C's other products developed favorably as well during the reporting period. Nordic customers in particular are using the features of Tekla Structures increasingly more extensively. A significant part of the resource additions has, in fact, been and will be allocated to expanding the product offering. International operations accounted for 94% (95%) of B&C's net sales in January-September 2007. The biggest market areas were North America, India, the Nordic countries and the Middle East, which increased their net sales also proportionally the most. The Indian company Techflow Engineers strengthened its competitive position and increased the number of its Tekla Structures licenses to one hundred. Techflow is a local pioneer in structural engineering and a long-time customer for Tekla. WSP Group, one of the fastest growing building industry consultancies in the world and the industry's leading expert in structural 3D modeling, signed a framework agreement with Tekla in September. In August, Tekla signed a framework agreement with Ramboll Group, a leading Nordic engineering company. Ramboll is a significant Tekla Structures user. The company has used the software in hundreds of general design projects, most of which have involved concrete as the building material. Al Attar Group, the U.A.E.-based real estate development and construction group, chose to adopt Tekla Structures in its key business processes in July. The contract is one of the largest for Tekla's Middle East office, and it consolidates Tekla's position as the leading BIM solution provider in the region. Tekla joined the Business Software Alliance in the spring. BSA is a global association that aims to reduce software piracy and promote a legal network environment. Infra & Energy At the beginning of 2007, the Energy & Utilities and Public Infra business areas merged into a new business area, Infra & Energy. Infra& Energy focuses on development and sales of model-based software solutions that support customers' core processes. Its key customer industries (products in brackets) are energy distribution (Tekla Xpower), infrastructure management (Tekla Xcity, Tekla Xstreet) and water supply (Tekla Xpipe). Structural changes in the energy industry and end users' increasing expectations of the reliability of energy distribution and customer service increase the need for developing and renewing network information systems. Tekla has a firm market position in the industry in the Nordic countries and the Baltic States. In Finland, increasing regional collaboration will increase the public sector's GIS development needs. Tekla's market position is strong in large and medium-sized Finnish municipalities. The net sales of I&E amounted to 8.36 (8.11) million euros for January-September 2007. Net sales increased by some 3%. I&E's operating result for the reporting period was 0.76 (0.51) million euros. I&E's operating profit percentage was 9.1% (6.3%). International operations accounted for 38% (35%) of net sales. I&E's net sales for the third quarter amounted to 2.76 (2.42) million euros and operating result was 0.62 (0.20) million euros. The operating result percentage was 22.5% (8.2%). I&E's prospects for the rest of the year are favorable; the business area's net sales are experiencing moderate growth and the result of the year is expected to be above that of the previous year. The majority of I&E's net sales consists of additional and service sales to existing customers. In the field of energy distribution, expanding the use of Tekla Xpower was agreed with customers in the Nordic countries. The use of the software continued also in Malaysia. In the field of infrastructure management, several collaboration projects were underway with customers. A project to develop electronic building supervision services continued with six major Finnish cities. When it is completed next spring, the application will comprise a key part of the Tekla Xcity-based electronic service entity for infrastructure management. New customers are mainly expected from among Swedish energy companies as well as Finnish and Swedish water utilities. In Eastern Europe, exploration of new business opportunities continues with local partners. The customer base in the infrastructure management sector is expected to broaden with the adoption of regional services in Finland. Defence Tekla sold its project-based Defence business to Patria on May 1, 2007. In connection with the transaction, some 20 Defence employees transferred to Patria. The Defence business area will be processed as discontinued business in the financial reporting for 2007. More detailed information can be found in the tables of this Interim Report. PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT Tekla's software development is taken care of by the Product Development unit, which focuses on developing Tekla's own products instead of customer-specific information system projects. However, product projects where product features are developed in cooperation with individual customers and customer groups continue as a part of the I&E business area's product-based solution portfolio. The annual main version of Tekla Structures was launched in mid-April. During the third quarter, Tekla Structures development focused on the 2008 main version to be released next spring. In it, the focus of development include modeling of all types of structures, speed and user friendliness of the software, improvements connected with drawings and reports, and more versatile utilization of the product model between organizations. In addition, a product module for construction management is being developed. This makes it possible to model the entire project from detailing to site schedules and supervision. The annual main versions of the Tekla Xpower and Tekla Xpipe software were completed in September, with various new features, especially in network calculations. During the third quarter, product development targeted the next main version, e.g. improving the safety aspects of various user groups. Development of the Tekla Xcity and Tekla Xstreet software products continued in close cooperation with customers. Main versions of both products were released in June and the next versions will be released in November - December. PERSONNEL The Group personnel averaged 371 (317) for January-September 2007; on average 141 (103) worked outside Finland. In these figures, the number of part-time staff has been converted to correspond to full-time work contribution. The Defence personnel (approximately 20) are included in the number of personnel until the end of April 2007. At the beginning of the year, Tekla personnel totaled 365 (324) including part-time staff, and at the end of September 384 (347), of whom 152 (111) worked outside Finland. Largest increases to personnel took place in product development and sales.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING Tekla Corporation's Annual General Meeting on March 15, 2007 adopted the financial statements, consolidated income statement and balance sheet for 2006. The Annual General Meeting also discharged the CEO and the Board members from liability. The Annual General Meeting also approved the Board's proposal that a dividend of 0.20 euros plus an extra dividend of 0.20 euros due to the anniversary, or a total of 0.40 euros per share, be distributed for the financial period 2006. Ari Kohonen, Esa Korvenmaa, Olli-Pekka Laine (Vice Chair), Heikki Marttinen (Chair) and Erkki Pehu-Lehtonen were re-elected as Board members until the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting in 2008. Timo Keinänen was re-elected as deputy member of the Board. Juha Kajanen is the Tekla personnel representative on the Board and Pirjo Lundén his personal deputy. PricewaterhouseCoopers were re-elected as auditors, with Markku Marjomaa, Authorized Public Accountant, as the auditor in charge. The AGM renewed the Board's authorizations regarding the increase of the company's share capital and transferring the company's treasury shares. In addition, the AGM authorized the Board to acquire a maximum of 500,000 Tekla shares. The Board had not used its authorizations by the end of September 2007. SHORT-TERM RISKS AND UNCERTAINTY FACTORS Possible risks and uncertainty factors associated with Tekla's business are mainly connected with the market and competition situation and the general economic situation. In the software product business, it is possible to react swiftly to growing demand, and profits from additional sales are good. The majority of net sales comprises of sales of licenses entitling to use software products. Fluctuation in their demand can be rapid and significant. In the short term and in case of quick changes, it is challenging to proportion fixed personnel expenses, which account for the majority of Tekla's costs. The sales of Tekla software is geographically distributed and individual customers do not account for a significant share of net sales, and therefore risks such as those described above are not significant. OUTLOOK FOR 2007 The Board increases the company's net sales and profit outlook for the year as a whole. Net sales of the continuing business operations are estimated to exceed those of the previous year by 20% to 25%. The earlier forecast of growth in net sales was approximately 20%. The operating result of the continuing businesses is expected to be clearly better than the previous year. The forecast is specified so that the operating result will exceed the level of the previous year (28%). The Building & Construction business area generates the majority of Tekla's net sales and operating profit. Net sales of Infra & Energy are expected to experience moderate annual growth, and its result to be better than the previous year.

This interim report has been prepared in accordance with the IAS 34 (Interim Financial Reporting) standard. The same accounting policies and methods of computation have been followed in the interim financial statements as in the annual financial statements for 2006. The amendments and interpretations to published standards as well as new standards, effective January 1, 2007, are presented in detail in the financial statements for 2006. The adopted standards have not had a significant effect on the result or the data presented in the interim report. The notes in the interim report are unaudited. Use of estimates When preparing the interim report, the Group's management is required to make estimates and assumptions influencing the content of the interim report, and it must exercise its judgment regarding the application of accounting policies. Although these estimates are based on the management's best knowledge, actual results may ultimately differ from the estimates used in the interim report.
