Consolidated result
The consolidated result for the fourth quarter was EUR 0.4 million (3.8). The

PO Korhonen sold its factory property in Raisio. This transaction did not have a
material effect on the consolidated result. The result for 2008 includes EUR 0.7
million in non-recurring income from the sale of assets.
Profit before taxes was EUR 0.4 million (10.2), and profit after taxes was EUR
0.1 million (7.5).

In March 2009, Martela concluded codetermination negotiations with personnel in
the parent company, Martela Corporation. The outcome of the negotiations was
that 15 people were made redundant, and temporary layoffs affecting the entire
workforce were implemented, estimated to correspond to a work input of 30 person
work years.
In November 2009, Martela also concluded the codetermination talks that were
launched earlier in the autumn at the parent company, Martela Corporation.
As a result of the talks, 3 people were made redundant and 9 people from the
office worker and factory worker personnel groups were temporarily laid off.
Moreover, temporary layoffs affecting the entire workforce will be implemented
in 2010. They are estimated to correspond to the work input of 18 person work
years.
Product development and Martela's collection
Product development and the management of Martela's collection are the
responsibility of two Group-level organisations. Brand & Product Portfolio is
responsible for collection and brand management, while Product Development and
Marketing is responsible for
the development of innovative products and the Group's marketing communications.
At the Stockholm Furniture Fair in February, Martela's theme was ‘The Light of
Snow'. Martela exhibited a number of new products at its snow-white stand. The
Spot series by Pekka Toivola and Iiro Viljanen was complemented with easily
movable screens, side tables and workstation desks. The Big cabinet by Pekka
Toivola also serves as a space divider. The Pinta ES, a pure and simple design,
is the newest addition to the range of electrically adjustable desks.
New products were also introduced to the surroundings furniture ranges: the Form
conference chair by Jukka Setälä, and the SoftX lobby furniture series by Julia
Läufer and Marcus Keichel. As a concept product we exhibited the Tree W space
divider, designed by Professor Eero Aarnio.
At the Milan Furniture Fair in April Martela set up its own exhibition under the
theme ‘Black Swan'. The name came from the Swan XL floor lamp, another Eero
Aarnio design. Another new product introduced at Milan was Diagonal, the
brainchild of Stockholm-based design office o4i; it is an innovative piece of
furniture for public indoor spaces, providing flexible seating for groups of
people or for private conversations.
Shares
In January-December, a total of 811,183 (787,491) of the company's series A
shares were traded on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd, corresponding to 22.8 per cent
(22.2) of the total number of series A shares.
The value of trading was EUR 5.7 million (6.5); the share price was EUR 5.29 at
the beginning of the year and EUR 7.13 at the end of the year. During
January-December the share price was EUR 8.00 at its highest and EUR 5.21 at its
lowest. At the end of December, equity per share was EUR 7.88 (8.47).
On 5 March 2009, ODIN Forvaltning AS announced that the holdings of the funds it
manages in Martela Corporation fell to 2.85 per cent following a share
transaction made on 5 March 2009.
Treasury shares
Martela did not purchase any of its own shares for the treasury in 2009. On 31
December 2009, Martela owned a total of 67,700 of Martela A shares, purchased at
an average price of EUR 10.65. Martela's holding of treasury shares amounts to
1.6 per cent of all shares and 0.4 per cent of all votes.
Acquisition of shares for the share-based incentive scheme and the management of
the scheme have been outsourced to an external service provider, Evli Alexander
Management Oy. These shares have been entered under equity in the consolidated
financial statements for 2008 and 2009. On 31 December 2009, 57,625 shares under
the incentive scheme were still undistributed.
2009 Annual General Meeting
The Annual General Meeting was held on 17 March 2009. The meeting approved the
financial statements and discharged the responsible parties from liability for
the 2009 financial year. The AGM decided, in accordance with the Board of
Directors' proposal, to distribute a dividend of EUR 0.60 per share, totalling
EUR 2,452,740. Heikki Ala-Ilkka, Tapio Hakakari, Heikki Martela, Pekka Martela,
Jori Keckman and Jaakko Palsanen were elected as members of the Board of
Directors for the next term. KPMG Oy Ab, Authorised Public Accountants, was
elected as the company's auditor.
The AGM also approved the Board of Directors' proposals, detailed in the meeting
notice, to authorise the Board to acquire and/or dispose of Martela shares.
The new Board of Directors convened after the Annual General Meeting and elected
Heikki Ala-Ilkka as Chairman and Pekka Martela as Vice Chairman.
Post-balance sheet events
Martela's Board of Directors decided on 9 February, 2010 on a share-based
incentive scheme for key personnel for 2010-2012. The key personnel will be
eligible to receive Martela's A shares if the targets set for specified earnings
periods are achieved. These periods are the calendar years 2010, 2011 and 2012.
Any incentives paid on the basis of the above scheme will be paid in both shares
and cash at the end of each earnings period. The maximum incentive for the whole
scheme is 80,000 Martela Oyj A shares and the amount of cash needed to cover
taxes and similar charges, which amounts to approximately the value of the
shares to be paid. The achievement of the targets set for an earnings period
determines the percentage of the maximum bonus to be paid to a key person.
Short-term risks
The greatest risk to profit performance is related to the continuation of
general economic uncertainty and the consequent effects on the overall demand
for office furniture.
Proposal of the Board of Directors for distribution of profit
The Board proposes that a dividend of EUR 0.45 per share be distributed for
2009. The company's liquidity is good and it is the Board's opinion that the
proposed distribution of profit will not endanger the company's solvency. The
notice of Annual General Meeting will be published in a separate stock exchange
release.
Outlook for 2010
Low demand will continue to have an effect on the company's revenue and
operating profit in 2010. The company will continue to review its cost structure
and to improve its operating efficiency.
