Ahlstrom provides preliminary information on 2012 net sales and operating profit

(Thomson Reuters ONE) -


Ahlstrom Corporation STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE January 17, 2013 at 09.15



Ahlstrom, a global leader in high performance fiber-based materials, provides
preliminary information on net sales and operating profit excluding non-
recurring items from continuing operations for 2012.

In 2012, net sales from continuing operations amounted to approximately EUR
1,011 million and operating profit excluding non-recurring items from continuing
operations was approximately EUR 18 million.

Ahlstrom had previously expected net sales from continuing operations to be EUR
960 - 1,040 million and operating profit excluding non-recurring items from
continuing operations to be EUR 22 - 32 million in 2012.

The operating profit excluding non-recurring items for 2012 is lower than the
company had earlier anticipated because of weaker sales mix and volumes across
all key markets towards the end of the year, as well as longer than expected
production downtime taken during the last quarter.

The figures are based on unaudited preliminary financial results. Ahlstrom will
publish its financial statements bulletin 2012 on January 31, 2013.
