Prospects Energy The good performance of Southeast Asian, Latin American and European economies, combined with the expansion of the EU, creates good opportunities for growth of demand for energy-related services. The increasing EU legislation related to energy is driving demand for industry-specific management consulting services in the energy sector. Environmental legislation, especially legislation aimed at preventing climate change, continues to boost demand for renewable energy and plant refurbishment services. The high price of crude oil is creating new opportunities within the oil and gas sectors. In the thermal power sector, clients focus on diversifying their energy mix. The Energy business group's market position has improved further and its order stock is good. The business group's operating profit will improve significantly in 2007. Forest Industry Investment activity in the forest industry will remain relatively strong in emerging markets. Rising production costs continue to call for operational and productivity improvements in mature markets. Industry restructurings will increase demand for consulting and corporate restructuring services. Demand for biofuel and chemical industry engineering services will remain strong. The business group's order stock is good. The operating profit will improve significantly during 2007. Infrastructure & Environment The infrastructure and environment markets have improved especially in Central and Eastern Europe, where the recovery of national economies and EU financing have boosted investments in the public sector. Maintaining a local presence is becoming more important in emerging markets. Corporate acquisitions made during 2007 expand the supply of services within the business group's real estate business. The business group's order stock has remained good. The operating profit will improve clearly in 2007. Group The Group has a strong market position in all of its business areas. The order stock is good and has increased by EUR 76.1 million during the period under review. Consolidated net sales will increase in 2007. Profit before taxes will improve significantly in 2007 and be EUR 72-77 million. This estimate can be negatively affected by the ongoing labour market negotiations in Finland.
