Ahlstrom lowers 2013 net sales and operating profit outlook

(Thomson Reuters ONE) -


Ahlstrom Corporation STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE September 16, 2013 at 09.25



Ahlstrom, a global high performance fiber-based materials company, lowers its
full-year guidance for net sales and operating profit due to lower than expected
sales volumes as demand has continued to be soft in Ahlstrom's key markets in
Europe and North America.

Also maintenance related downtime at Osnabrück plant in Germany and adverse
currency fluctuations have impacted net sales and operating profit development
negatively.

Ahlstrom now forecasts net sales from continuing operations to be EUR 960-1,040
million in 2013. The operating profit excluding non-recurring items from
continuing operations will be 0-2% of net sales. The company had previously
expected net sales from continuing operations to be EUR 980-1,140 million, and
operating profit excluding non-recurring items from continuing operations of
2-5% of net sales in 2013.

The company will publish its January-September 2013 interim report on October
24, 2013.
