The Group's net sales in January - September were EUR 556.1 (471.8) million.

The Machine shops and Foundries divisions had a combined order book at the end  
of the review period of EUR 73.2 (68.3) million. Showing the order books for the
divisions separately is not justified due to the nature of Componenta's supply  
chain.

The interim report has been prepared in accordance with international financial 
reporting standards (IFRS). Componenta has prepared the report applying the same
accounting principles as in its 2007 Financial Statements. The figures in the   
interim report are unaudited.                                                   

The Group's operating profit in the review period excluding one-time items was

significantly from the previous year. Other operating income includes exchange  
rate differences on sales and purchases.                                        

The Group's net financial expenses in the review period totalled EUR -18.7      
(-14.4) million. Net financial expenses increased EUR 4.3 million from the      
previous year mainly due to exchange rate differences on loans.                 

The Group's result after financial items, excluding one-time items, was EUR 35.3
(11.8) million. One-time items in the review period totalled EUR -0.4 million.  

Income taxes, calculated from the net profit for the period, totalled EUR -8.3  
(-0.9) million.

In March the Group repaid EUR 3.2 million, or 10%, of the principal of the      
preferred capital notes issued in 2002, in accordance with the terms of the     
notes. In addition, in July the Group repaid in full the capital notes issued in
2004 with their capitalized interest, EUR 2.1 million. During the review period,
6 of Componenta's convertible capital notes were converted into shares. As a    
result, the number of Componenta shares increased by 1,200 and the shareholders'
equity rose by EUR 10,800. At the end of the review period the outstanding      
unconverted capital notes and convertible notes entitled holders to subscribe to
3,167,000 shares.                                                               

At the end of the review period, Componenta had EUR 80.2 million in unused,

pension loans totalling EUR 20.0 million. The Group also has a EUR 150.0 million
commercial paper programme. The Group's interest-bearing net debt, excluding the
outstanding capital notes of EUR 50.9 million, stood at EUR 204.2 (209.0)       
million. The company's net debt as a proportion of shareholders' equity,        
including the capital notes in shareholders' equity, was 121.6% (134.2%).       

Componenta is making more efficient use of capital with a programme to sell its 
trade receivables. Under this arrangement, some of the trade receivables are    
sold without any right of recourse. By the end of the period the company had    
sold trade receivables totalling EUR 76.9 (33.2) million.

(14.8) million, and of this the change in net working capital was EUR -21.7     
(-10.0) million. The net cash flow from investing activities was EUR -30.0      
(-31.5) million.

Performance of business divisions                                               

Componenta amended its reporting structure on 1 January 2008, when two units    
were transferred to the Machine shops division. Componenta Pistons was          
transferred from the Other business division and the Orhangazi machine shop     
operations from the Turkey division. All figures for comparison for the         
divisions for 2007 have been adjusted to bring them in line with the new        
reporting structure.                                                            

Foundries                                                                       

The Foundries division had net sales in the January - September period of EUR   
230.3 (177.5) million and an operating profit of EUR 23.6 million, 10.2% of net 
sales (EUR 12.1 million, 6.8%). Increased volumes and greater efficiency in its 
operations made a positive contribution to the division's operating profit. In  
consequence of the sharp increases in raw material prices, in the review period 
Componenta introduced a new price compensation system, which means that the     
impact of changes in raw material prices is updated on a monthly basis instead  
of quarterly basis as before.                                                   

Capacity at the Iisalmi foundry was increased to meet the growing demand for    
wind power components and capacity was increased at the Karkkila foundry for the
needs of the production being transferred from Metso's foundry in Jyväskylä.    
Both investments were mainly carried out during the third quarter.              

In the third quarter the division had net sales of EUR 71.1 (52.4) million and  
an operating profit of EUR 2.2 (0.8) million.                                   

Machine shops                                                                   

The Machine shops division had net sales of EUR 149.1 (131.0) million in the    
review period and an operating profit of EUR 6.0 million, or 4.0% of net sales  
(EUR 5.2 million, 4.0%).                                                        

The new machine shop at Orhangazi was completed during the summer and the unit  
moved its operations into the new premises during the third quarter.            

The division had third quarter net sales of EUR 44.3 (39.4) million and an      
operating profit of EUR 1.4 (1.7) million.                                      

Turkey                                                                          

The Turkey division had net sales in the review period of EUR 212.3 (174.7)     
million and an operating profit of EUR 24.1 million, or 11.4% of net sales (EUR 
7.4 million, 4.2%). The main factors that improved the division's financial     
performance in the review period were increased volumes and higher efficiency in
its business operations. During the review period the Turkey division introduced
the same raw material price compensation system as the Foundries division.      

Changes in the value of the Turkish lira improved the operating profit in the   
first quarter by EUR 7.1 million and weakened the division's operating profit   
during the second and third quarters by total of EUR 4.3 million.               

The Turkey division had net sales in the third quarter of EUR 70.6 (56.3)       
million and an operating profit of EUR 4.2 (-0.6) million.                      

The Orhangazi iron foundry had net sales in the review period of EUR 152.8      
(116.9) million and an operating profit of EUR 16.6 (5.0) million. Net sales for
Manisa during the review period totalled EUR 59.5 (57.8) million and operating  
profit was EUR 7.6 (2.4) million.                                               

Other business                                                                  

Other business comprises the Componenta Wirsbo forges in Sweden, the sales and  
logistics company in the UK, real estate companies and the Group's              
administrative functions. Other business had an operating profit excluding      
one-time items of EUR 1.7 (1.8) million in the review period.                   

Other Business had a third quarter operating profit excluding one-time items of 
EUR -0.4 (0.5) million.                                                         

Shares and share capital                                                        

The shares of Componenta Corporation are quoted on the NASDAQ OMX Helsinki. At  
the end of the review period the company had a total of 10,943,698 shares. At   
the end of the review period the company's share capital stood at EUR 21.9

Share-based incentive scheme                                                    

The share-based incentive scheme is based on the decision taken on 3 April 2007 
by the Board of Directors of Componenta Corporation. The scheme comprises three 
one-year earnings periods, which are the calendar years 2007, 2008 and 2009. The
bonuses will be paid in 2008, 2009 and 2010 partly in company shares and partly 
in cash. The part to be paid in cash will cover the tax and similar charges     
arising from the bonus. There is a ban on selling the shares for two years after
the end of the earnings period.                                                 
                                                                                
Any yield from the incentive scheme is based on the Group's result after        
financial items and the Group's return on investment. At the end of the review  
period the target group contained 39 people. If the targets set for the scheme  
are met in full, the scheme will pay a bonus of a maximum of 180,000 Componenta 
Corporation shares. For the 2008 earnings period a maximum of 70,000 Componenta 
Corporation shares will be allocated in the scheme. The President and CEO will  
account for a maximum of 18,000 out of the total figure and other key personnel 
for altogether a maximum of 52,000 shares. The scheme had an impact before taxes
on the result at the end of the review period of EUR 0.4 million.               

Purchasing and disposing of the Company's shares                                

Under the authorization of the AGM held on 25 February 2008, the Board of       
Directors may decide to purchase a maximum of 1,000,000 of the Company's own    
shares using the Company's unrestricted shareholders' equity.                   

The shares shall be purchased in public trading, for which reason they will be  
purchased other than in proportion to the holdings of shareholders. The purchase
price shall be based on the market price for Componenta shares in public        
trading. The shares shall be purchased on the NASDAQ OMX Helsinki and in        
accordance with its rules and regulations.                                      
                                                                                
The Board of Directors may not implement the authorization to purchase the      
Company's own shares if after the purchase the Company or its subsidiary would  
possess or hold in pledge altogether more than 10 per cent of all the Company's 
shares. The authorization does not exclude the right of the Board of Directors  
to decide on a direct purchase of shares.                                       

The Board holds an authorization granted by the AGM on 26 February 2007 to      
decide to issue shares and grant option rights and other special rights with an 
entitlement to shares under the following terms and conditions:                 
                                                                                
Under the authorization the Board may decide to issue shares and grant option   
rights and other special rights as defined in chapter 10, section 1 of the      
Finnish Companies Act, such that a maximum of 2,000,000 shares are issued under 
the authorization. The authorization does not exclude the right of the Board of 
Directors to decide on a direct issue of shares.                                

The authorization is valid for a period of five years from the date of the      
decision of the AGM.                                                            

The Board of Directors has to date not exercised either of these authorizations.

Componenta's investments in production facilities during the review period      
totalled EUR 31.9 (15.0) million, of which the finance lease investments        
accounted for EUR 2.5 (0.3) million. The net cash flow from investing activities
was EUR -30.0 (-31.5) million. This figure includes EUR 0.9 million used during 
the review period to purchase shares of Componenta Dökümcülük Ticaret Ve Sanayi

Componenta Dökümcülük Ticaret Ve Sanayi A.S.                                    

Board of Directors and Management                                               

Componenta's Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on 25 February 2008 elected 
the following persons to the Board of Directors: Heikki Bergholm, Heikki        
Lehtonen, Juhani Mäkinen, Marjo Raitavuo and Matti Tikkakoski. The Board held   
its organization meeting after the AGM and elected Heikki Bergholm as its       
Chairman and Juhani Mäkinen as its Vice Chairman.                               

At the end of the review period the corporate executive team of Componenta      
Corporation comprised the following persons: President and CEO Heikki Lehtonen; 
Yaylalý Günay, Senior Vice President, Investments; Hakan Göral, Senior Vice     
President, Turkey division, CFO Mika Hassinen; Olli Karhunen, Senior Vice       
President, Foundries division; Timo Laitinen, Senior Vice President, Sales and  
Product Development; Jari Leino, Sales Director, Heavy Trucks; Anu Mankki,      
Senior Vice President, Human Resources; Tapio Rantala, Director, Business       
Development; Michael Sjöberg, Senior Vice President, Machine shops division, and
Communications Director Pirjo Aarniovuori.                                      

Personnel                                                                       

The average number of Group personnel during the review period was 5,266        
(5,089), including 939 (880) leased employees. The number of Group personnel at 
the end of the review period was 5,311 (5,083), which includes 971 (892) leased 
employees. At the end of September, 49% (50%) of the Group's personnel were in  
Turkey, 23% (22%) in Finland, 19% (17%) in the Netherlands and 9% (11%) in      
Sweden.                                                                         

Risks                                                                           

Fluctuations in the prices of Componenta Group's main raw material, recycled    
metal, affect the sales margins on the Group's products. Increases in raw       
material prices are passed on to the products supplied to customers after a     
certain delay, so price increases in recycled metal reduce the sales margin     
temporarily. Correspondingly, if the prices of recycled metal go down, the      
Group's margins improve for a while.                                            

The electricity consumption of the Group's foundries and machine shops creates a
spot price risk for the purchased electricity, so the Group purchases           
electricity price forwards to hedge against the impact of electricity prices on 
the financial performance. The target hedging level for the forecasted          
electricity consumption by the Group's production plants is 90% for the next 12 
months, 60% for the following year and 40% for the third year. Trading in       
electricity price forwards has been outsourced. The Group aims to pass on the   
increase in the price of electricity to customers with a separate electricity   
surcharge.                                                                      

Appropriate insurance has been taken against risks associated with assets and   
interruption of operations and to minimize indemnity.                           
			                                                                             
The financial risks relating to Componenta Group's business operations are      
managed in accordance with the treasury policy approved by the Board of         
Directors. The objective is to protect the Group against unfavourable changes in
the financial markets and to secure the Group's financial performance and       
financial position. Management of financial risks takes place in the corporate  
treasury function.                                                              

Translating the shareholders' equity of Componenta Turkey into euros creates a  
significant translation risk for the Group in Turkish lira. Changes in the value
of the US dollar, the GB pound and the euro in relation to the Turkish lira have
an impact on the company's operating profit and result after financial items on 
short term.                                                                     

During the review period Componenta's Board of Directors approved a revised     
version of the Group's treasury policy. In compliance with the policy, the      
transaction position is divided into separate foreign currency-denominated      
balance sheet items, depending on whether the exchange rate differences that    
arise from them have an impact on the operating profit or on the financial      
income and expenses. The hedging level for the transaction positions shall be   
within 95-105%. Changes in the value of the Group's shareholders' equity caused 
by translating the foreign currency-denominated shareholders' equity of         
subsidiaries into euros (translation risk) are hedged 0-100%.                   

The Group has no significant concentration of risk for receivables. The Group   
recognized no major credit losses in the review period.                         

The company's financial agreements contain normal clauses according to which the
company's loans may fall due for payment before the maturity date if control of 
the company changes in consequence of a public purchase offer. The company is   
not party to any other significant contracts that will come into force, that can
be amended or that can cease to be valid if control of the company changes in   
consequence of a public purchase offer.                                         

Prospects                                                                       

Componenta's prospects for the remainder of 2008 are based on general external  
financial indicators, order forecasts given by customers, and on Componenta's   
order intake and order book.                                                    

The demand outlook in most of the Group's customer sectors is uncertain at the  
beginning of the fourth quarter of 2008 due to the recent turbulence in the     
financial markets.                                                              

The slow down in construction in the USA and Europe has reduced demand in the   
off-road sector. Demand for mining machinery remains at a good level. The recent
fall in the prices of raw materials may weaken demand for mining machinery.     

Production volumes for heavy trucks in the final part of the year will be on    
satisfactory level. They are expected to take a downward turn during the first  
part of next year.                                                              

The increased uncertainty in the financial markets has cut demand in the        
automotive industry in Europe.                                                  

The demand outlook in the diesel and wind power sectors and in the machine      
building industry remain good.                                                  

The operations of Componenta's units are being adapted for lower demand in      
Turkey, the Netherlands, Sweden and Finland by reducing the use of leased       
employees during October and November by altogether 720 persons and by reducing 
the number of the company's own employees by altogether 170 through lay-offs and
redundancies. In addition, the use of external subcontractors will be reduced by
an amount equivalent to the work of altogether 150 people.                      

The investments in the new aluminium component factory in Manisa and the melting
furnace in Orhangazi have been halted for the time being.                       

Componenta's order book at the end of the third quarter of 2008 was similar to  
that at the same time in the previous year, i.e. EUR 123 (125) million.         

Due to the high raw material prices, the amount of working capital has increased
by altogether EUR 22 million since the beginning of the year. The sharp fall in 
raw material prices during the summer will release considerable amounts of funds
from working capital during the last quarter of the year.                       

Integrating the operations in Turkey with Componenta's other operations and     
enhancing the performance of the Turkish business units have had a positive     
impact on the Group's operating profit in 2008.                                 

Componenta Group's 2008 net sales and result after financial items, excluding   
one-time items, are expected to show a considerable improvement on the          
corresponding figures for 2007.
