Assessment of the development for 2012

Today Metso’s management is publishing an assessment of Metso Group’s development for 2012 as follows:
Based on the assumption that our current relatively healthy demand from our customer industries will not be materially weakened by the financial turmoil in Europe or by any other similar development, we estimate that:
1. Our net sales for 2012 will increase compared to 2011
2. Our result (EBITA before non-recurring items) for 2012 will increase compared to 2011
