Tekla Corporation Stock Exchange Release 7.2.2008 at 9:00 a.m. Tekla Corporation's Financial Statements Bulletin January 1 - December 31, 2007: Tekla achieved record profitability in 2007 Net sales of Tekla Group for January-December 2007 totaled 59.25 (49.78 during the same period in 2006) million euros. Growth in net sales was 19%. The operating result for 2007 was 20.68 (13.62) million euros. The operating result amounted to 34.9% (27.4%) of net sales. The Defence business, sold at the end of April 2007, and the resulting sales profit are included in these figures. Net sales of the continuing businesses for January-December 2007 amounted to 58.25 (47.64) million euros, increasing by approximately 22%. The operating result of the continuing businesses was clearly better than the previous year, reaching 17.90 (13.38) million euros, and the operating result percentage was 30.7 (28.1). Net sales for the fourth quarter of the continuing businesses totaled 16.44 (14.56) million euros, increasing by approximately 13%. The operating result for the quarter was 4.99 (4.46) million euros, and the operating result percentage was 30.4 (30.6). Ari Kohonen, Tekla's CEO, comments the financial statements of 2007: - It seems that our decision to focus on the software product business was right. We have managed to get our net sales on a solid growth track, and the profitability of operations is excellent. The fourth quarter was the 12th consecutive quarter with operating result exceeding that of the corresponding quarter the previous year. - During the fourth quarter, our main business area, Building & Construction, experienced more modest growth than during the previous quarters of 2007 due to the timing of individual major deals. - Most markets, such as North America, India and the Middle East, were extremely strong. Other key markets for Tekla in 2007 were Western Europe and the Nordic countries. The highest relative growth in net sales for the fourth quarter was seen in North America and the Far East. - Building & Construction, which achieved record net sales, pursues growth with the expanded product portfolio in addition to its well-established steel design software. From the point of view of Tekla, it is a very favorable trend that the building industry's move from traditional two-dimensional work methods to model-based 3D processes seems to be gaining momentum. This development increases customers' productivity and improves their competitiveness in every market condition. - From the point of view of Tekla, no substantial change has taken place in B&C's market situation. The number of personnel will be increased further in order to expand the product offering and marketing capabilities. - As we had previously predicted, also the Infra & Energy business area achieved good annual results. It experienced strong growth during the fourth quarter, and I&E made more than a half of its result for 2007 during this quarter. The outlook for the business area seems favorable. Demand is not very sensitive to economic fluctuations. The Board of Directors estimates that growth in net sales for 2008 will be approximately 15% on the previous year and that the operating result will exceed that of the previous year. Growth in the Building& Construction business area is expected to outpace Infra & Energy, while both business areas are expected to improve their results on the previous year. - - - Tekla is an international software product company whose model-based software make customers' core processes more effective in building and construction, energy distribution, infrastructure management and water supply. Tekla has customers in more than 80 countries. Tekla Group's net sales for 2007 were nearly 60 million euros and operating result approximately 20 million euros. International operations account for more than 80% of net sales. Tekla Group employs 400 people, of whom approximately 150 work outside Finland. Tekla was established in 1966, making it one of the oldest software companies in Finland. www.tekla.com - - - TEKLA CORPORATION'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JANUARY 1 - DECEMBER 31, 2007 NET SALES AND PROFITABILITY * Net sales of Tekla Group for January-December 2007 were 59.25 million euros (49.78 million euros in January-December 2006). * Growth in net sales was 19.0%. * Operating result was 20.68 (13.62) million euros. * Earnings per share were 0.69 (0.45) euros. * Return on investment was 74.5 (63.1) percent. * Return on equity was 55.4 (48.5) percent. * Defence business, which was sold at the end of April 2007, and the sales profits from it are included in these figures.

The trends in the building industry have remained favorable in Tekla's key market areas. Tekla's products are primarily used in commercial, office and industrial buildings. B&C's largest market is the United States, and the weakened industry outlook there mainly concerns small-scale residential construction. 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; customers are rather suffering from a shortage of manpower. The impacts of volume changes on the demand for Tekla's products are not straightforward. Fluctuation in the demand for licenses in particular does not necessarily follow building industry trends very closely. Increase in the average size of transactions and larger customer accounts are favorable trends in Tekla's view. The net sales of B&C amounted to 45.48 (35.88) million euros for January-December 2007. Net sales increased by approximately 27% compared to the same period the previous year. The operating result was 15.96 (12.77) million euros. B&C's operating result percentage for 2007 was 35.1% (35.6%). Changes in the U.S. dollar-euro exchange rate had a minor negative impact on an annual level. B&C's net sales for the fourth quarter totaled 12.04 (10.91) million euros, increasing by 10.4%. B&C's operating result was 3.85 (3.99) million euros and operating result margin 32.0% (36.6%). B&C experienced more moderate growth in October-December than during the first three quarters due to the timing of individual major deals. International operations accounted for 94% (94%) of B&C's net sales for January-December 2007. Most markets, such as North America, India and the Middle East, were extremely strong. Other key markets in 2007 were Western Europe and the Nordic countries. Highest relative growth in net sales for the fourth quarter was seen in North America and the Far East. By far the most of B&C's net sales was still generated by the product offering for structural steel engineering. Sales of B&C's other products developed also favorably during the year. Nordic customers in particular are using the features of Tekla Structures increasingly more extensively. Building & Construction pursues growth with the expanded product portfolio in addition to its well-established steel design software. From the point of view of Tekla, it is a very favorable trend that the building industry's move from traditional two-dimensional work methods to model-based 3D processes seems to be gaining momentum. This development increases customers' productivity and improves their competitiveness in every market condition. The number of personnel will be increased further in order to expand the product offering and marketing capabilities. Tekla's representative office in India was transformed into a fully-owned subsidiary at the end of 2007. This facilitates increased flexibility in this rapidly growing market. In November, Tekla introduced the Tekla Structures for Construction Management concept in the United States and the United Arab Emirates. The concept expands the Tekla Structures software to use by builders, developers and contractors. In October, Tekla signed an international partnership agreement with the world's largest manufacturer of steel, ArcelorMittal. The aim is to aid architects, designers, design agencies and building professionals in using steel as efficiently as possible. 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-term 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 one of the leading Nordic engineering companies, Ramboll Group. 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. The Al Attar Group, a U.A.E.-based real estate development and construction group, chose to adopt Tekla Structures in its key business processes in July. Tekla joined the Business Software Alliance in the spring. The 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). I&E's product-based offering also comprises customer projects where product features are developed in cooperation with individual customers or customer groups. Product entities developed in the projects are offered to other customers as well. 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 solid 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 still strong in large and medium-sized Finnish municipalities. The net sales of I&E amounted to 12.76 (11.76) million euros for January-December 2007. Net sales increased by some 9%. I&E's operating result for the reporting period was 1.96 (1.04) million euros. I&E's operating result percentage was 15.4% (8.8%). International operations accounted for 42% (33%) of net sales. I&E's net sales for the fourth quarter amounted to 4.40 (3.65) million euros and operating result was 1.20 (0.53) million euros. The operating result percentage was 27.3% (14.6%). Also the Infra & Energy business area achieved good annual results, as previously predicted. It experienced strong growth during the fourth quarter, and I&E made more than a half of its 2007 result during this quarter. The majority of I&E's net sales consists of sales to existing customers. New customers are still mainly expected from among Swedish and German energy companies as well as Finnish and Swedish water utilities. In Eastern Europe, business opportunities are explored with local partners. The customer base in the infrastructure management sector is expected to broaden with the adoption of regional services in Finland. The outlook for the business area seems favorable. Demand is not very sensitive to economic fluctuations. Latvia's national energy company Latvenergo ordered a significant expansion of Tekla Xpower towards the end of the year. Swedish Mälarenergi became a new customer. A contractor interface, realized as a customer cooperation project, was also completed at the end of the year. Additionally, expansion of network information system use was agreed with several customers in the Nordic countries. Utilization of the software expanded in Malaysia as well. 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 summer, the application will comprise a key part of the Tekla Xcity-based electronic service entity for infrastructure management. The Internet map service reform project was completed. A bridgehead in the Swedish water supply field was taken with the Tekla Xpipe system order by the city of Linköping. Defence As a part of the decision to focus further on product-based international business operations, Tekla sold its project-based Defence business to Patria on May 1, 2007. In line with the terms and conditions of the contract, Tekla has a possibility until the end of 2008 to receive an additional sale price depending on the sales development of the sold business. In connection with the transaction, slightly more than 20 Defence employees transferred to Patria. The Defence business area's net sales for 2007 amounted to 1.00 (2.14) million euros. Its operating result was 2.78 (0.24) million euros. The operating result for Q2/2007 includes sales profits amounting to approximately 2.3 million euros and estimated additional sale price amounting to 0.25 million euros for Q4/2007. Defence is processed as discontinued operations in the financial reporting for 2007 and the comparison period. PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT The annual main version of Tekla Structures was launched in mid-April. During the latter half of the year, Tekla Structures development focused on the 2008 main version to be released in the spring. In the main version, the focuses 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 model between organizations. A product module for construction management is being developed for the software, making it possible to model the entire project from detailing to site schedules and supervision. Main versions of the Tekla Xpower and Tekla Xpipe software products were completed in June. They feature a variety of new functions, especially in network calculations. During the second half of the year the product development focused among others on Tekla Xpower's next main version, which was completed in December. The possibility of controlling access to the system data by various user groups (such as subcontractors) was developed as a key feature. Development of the Tekla Xcity and Tekla Xstreet software products continued in close cooperation with customers. This year, versions of both products were released in June and in November - December. The WebMap Internet map service reform project was completed towards the end of the year. Product development was reorganized as of the beginning of 2008, and software product development was transferred to the corresponding business areas. This was made to ensure that product development will take place even closer to the customers. The Technology & Architecture unit is responsible for technology and architecture shared by all of the products. PERSONNEL The Group personnel averaged 374 (324) in January-December 2007; on average 144 (107) 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 end of the year, Tekla personnel totaled 400 (365) including part-time staff, of them 158 (123) outside Finland.

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 did not use its authorizations in 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. Trends in the building industry may weaken, at least in certain markets, which might have a negative impact on the demand for Tekla products. 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 would be challenging to proportion fixed personnel expenses, which account for the majority of Tekla's costs. The sales of Tekla software are geographically distributed. Also, and individual customers do not account for a significant share of net sales, and therefore risks such as those described above are not significant. ENVIRONMENT The direct environmental consequences of Tekla's business are minimal. The direct environmental effects arising from the use of the company's products are not considered to be significant. OUTLOOK FOR 2008 The Board of Directors estimates that growth in net sales for 2008 will be approximately 15% on the previous year and that the operating result will exceed that of the previous year. Growth in the Building& Construction business area is expected to outpace Infra & Energy, while both business areas are expected to improve their results on the previous year. BOARD'S PROPOSAL FOR THE DISTRIBUTION OF PROFIT The parent company's distributable funds amount to 22,985,645 euros, of which the profit for the financial period is 14,529,801 euros. Tekla Corporation's Board will propose to the Annual General Meeting, to be held on March 19, 2008, that a dividend of 0.50 euros per share be paid for the financial period 2007 for a total dividend payout of 11,258,300 euros. No dividend will be paid on the 69,600 shares held by the company. NEXT FINANCIAL REPORT Tekla Corporation's Interim report for January-March 2008 will be published on April 24, 2008.

In preparing the financial statements, the IAS and IFRS standards and SIC and IFRIC interpretations effective on December 31, 2007 were observed. International Financial Reporting Standards refer to the standards defined in the Finnish Accounting Act and related regulations approved for application in the EU and their interpretations in accordance with the EU regulation (EC) 1606/2992. The figures presented in the financial statements are unaudited. Use of estimates When preparing the financial statements, the Group's management is required to make estimates and assumptions influencing the content of the financial statements, 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 financial statements. Tax losses carried forward are recognized as deferred tax assets only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which unused tax losses can be utilized. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
