year 2001
YEAR OF GROWTH
The net sales of the LemminkäinenGroup rose 16 % and were EUR 1 116.5 million (964.6). The net salesgrowth was mainly attributable to theacquisition of Tekmanni Oy inOctober 2000 and the purchase ofIcopal a/s’s asphalt and mineral aggre-gate operations in Denmark andNorway. The later transaction affect-ed Lemminkäinen’s net sales andresult from April 2001.
INTERNATIONALISED ASPHALTPAVING BUSINESS
The acquisition of Icopal Roads inDenmark and Norway significantlystrengthened Lemminkäinen’s posi-tion in the asphalt paving markets ofthe Baltic Rim region, making it thesecond biggest paving contractor inthe Nordic countries. Lemminkäinennow has a 20 % share of the Danishpaving market and about 17 % share
of the Norwegian market, and theCompany employees over 500 peoplein these countries. About 50 % ofLemminkäinen’s asphalt paving oper-ations are now located outsideFinland.
IMPROVED EARNINGS
Lemminkäinen’s result before taxesimproved 33 % and was EUR 61.7million (46.4). The Group’s operat-ing profit rose 39 % to EUR 69.7million (50.2). The improvement inearnings was due to the performanceof the Paving and Mineral AggregatesDivision, Lemminkäinen Construc-tion Ltd and Tekmanni Oy.
CHANGING BUSINESSENVIRONMENT
The strong growth of the Finnishconstruction market that had lasted
for a number of years came to an end,dropping to less than 1 % in 2001.The construction market is expectedto develop moderately, though futuregrowth is now subject to more uncer-tainty than in past years.
Several years of steady growth andfavourable earnings developmenthave left Lemminkäinen reasonablywell placed to meet the challenges ofthe current year. Lemminkäinen’s netsales may not grow at last year’s rate,but the Company still has everychance of turning in another goodresult this year.
DIVIDEND
The Company’s Board of Directorswill propose to the Annual GeneralMeeting that a dividend of EUR 1.10(0.84) per share be paid for the 2001accounting period.

lemminkäinen’s strategy
lemminkäinen corporation annual report 2001
MEANS
Risk management
The differing cyclical behaviour ofLemminkäinen’s business sectors rep-resents the strategic cornerstone of itsgroup structure. For example, thecivil engineering business helps tooffset the effects of the building con-struction sector’s cyclical nature.Moreover, the demand for manyproducts in the building materialsand technical building services sec-tors is not dependent on the cyclicalnature of new construction. Cyclicalfluctuations in domestic new con-struction are also evened out by bothrefurbishment contracting and oper-ations abroad.
The Company focuses on proj-ects for which it has sufficient resour-ces and expertise. In addition, projectrisks are kept under control by nottaking on individual projects of suchmagnitude that their failure couldessentially weaken the Group’s result.
Lemminkäinen continuouslymaintains the vigilance and respon-siveness necessary to reorient, developand adjust its business operations inthe face of changing market condi-tions. The Company ensures thiscapability by employing efficient man-agement and information systems.
Competitiveness
Lemminkäinen concentrates on busi-ness sectors with sufficiently largemarkets in which it commands lead-ing or at least significant positions.Examples include asphalt paving, in
which the Company is one of theleading actors on the Baltic Rim mar-ket; Palmberg’s regional subsidiaries,which have significant positions intheir local markets; and roofing con-tracting and tunnel excavation, inwhich Lemminkäinen units are lead-ing actors in their respective fields inFinland.
Lemminkäinen avoids excessive-ly labour-intensive business sectorswhere the market entry thresholdand value added are particularly low.
Lemminkäinen’s operationsabroad are based on special expertiseand the establishment of local sub-sidiaries capable of achieving a sig-nificant market position.
Lemminkäinen employs andactively develops special products,techniques and expertise to improveits competitiveness and to generateadded value for its clients. Theseinclude special asphalts, special foun-dation reinforcement techniques, dif-ferent kinds of excavation techniques,structural tensioning methods, andproject management expertise.
Lemminkäinen’s business con-tains vertical value-adding chainsthat produce internal synergies.Products are manufactured for bothown use and external customers. Theproducts of the Mineral AggregatesUnit are a typical example: not onlyare they used in Lemminkäinen’sown asphalt paving operations andready-mix concrete production, butthey are also sold to other industryactors or end-users. Similarly, prod-ucts of the Building MaterialsDivision are sold to external cus-tomers and used in the building con-tracting of Palmberg and Lemmin-käinen Construction Ltd.
There is also horizontal synergybetween the Company’s differentbusiness units. This enables Lem-minkäinen to enhance its marketingand provide its clients with a betterand more comprehensive service.
GOAL
Lemminkäinen’s key strategic goal isthe maintenance of good profitabili-ty and solvency as well as controlledgrowth in the Company’s presentbusiness sectors. An average returnon investment of 15 % over the busi-ness cycle is regarded as good prof-itability, and an equity ratio of 40 %is equated with good solvency.

review by the managing director
lemminkäinen corporation annual report 2001
GROWTH AND PROFITABILITY
Lemminkäinen’s improving earningstrend has continued for the seventhstraight year. Over the same periodthe Group’s net sales have tripled atan average annual rate of 17 %. Theconstruction sector’s sustainedupswing from an exceptionally lowlevel has undoubtedly been a factorin the background to this growth.Even so, Lemminkäinen’s growth hasbeen well above the industry averageand the Group’s profitability hasbeen representative of the very bestin the sector. Also by internationalstandards Lemminkäinen hasenjoyed a good measure of success.
The Group’s net sales in 2001rose 16 % to EUR 1 117 million. Theprofit before taxes items improved 33% and was EUR 62 million – the bestresult in the company’s history. Mostof the net sales growth came fromacquisitions. With the exception ofthe domestic building contractorPalmberg, all of the Group’s mainbusiness sectors improved their earn-ings. Palmberg’s net sales and resultdeclined slightly owing to weakeneddemand and planning delays affect-ing certain important projects.
STRATEGIC CONSISTENCY
Lemminkäinen’s strategy, which isbased on the management of risksand the improvement of competi-tiveness by structural means, hasproven to be effective. The acquisi-tion of the technical building servic-es contractor Tekmanni Oy at theend of 2000, and the purchase ofIcopal a/s’s asphalt paving operationsin Denmark and Norway at thebeginning of 2001 were both madein accordance with this strategy.
Demand for technical buildingand facility services is growing morequickly than other segments of theconstruction sector, and it is notdirectly dependent on the cyclicalnature of domestic building con-struction. There is clear synergybetween Tekmanni and Lemmin-käinen’s other businesses. Tekmanniis one the leading Finnish companiesin its field.
The Icopal deal ensured Lem-minkäinen’s position as one of theleading asphalt paving contractors inthe Baltic Rim region. As expected,integration of the acquired business-es into Lemminkäinen’s internation-al paving and mineral aggregate oper-ations has required a great deal ofhard work, but good progress hasbeen made. Also in this case both theacquirer and the acquired have hadsomething to learn from each other.
CONTINUOUS R&D
Continuous R&D is the hallmark ofa healthy company. In Lemmin-käinen most of the developmentwork is carried out in connectionwith production by the same peoplewho will apply the results in practice.I am delighted to report that signifi-cant developments and improve-ments were achieved during thereview year in areas such as productsand methods, personnel matters,administrative systems, quality,industrial safety, and environmentalissues. In my opinion the growth ofLemminkäinen’s human and otherintangible capital has been on thesame level as the growth in our busi-ness volume.
MARKET CHANGES
The boom in domestic building con-struction that had lasted for a num-ber of years came to an end when theengine of that growth, the telecom-
munications and electronics indus-try, no longer required any addition-al building space. This was alsoreflected quickly in the demand forprivate-sector housing. The changein the market occurred abruptly dur-ing the early summer.
The volume of building construc-tion in 2002 is expected to be onlyslightly lower than last year. The fore-cast is largely based on a number offavourable general indicators such aslow inflation, low interest rates, fur-ther migration to growth centres, andthe confidence of households in theirown finances and in the prospects ofgeneral economic recovery.
Forecasts of steady demand forrefurbishment work, urban environ-ment construction and sports-relat-ed construction as well as expecta-tions of increased investments inroad construction all bode well forLemminkäinen. Road building andrepaving appropriations are alsoexpected to rise in Denmark andNorway, as their present level is notsustainable in the long run.
The overall outlook for Lemmin-käinen in 2002 is reasonably good,although there are more factors ofuncertainty than we have becomeaccustomed to in recent years. Thegrowth of the Group’s net sales islikely to slow down.
THANKS
Lemminkäinen has faired well infavourable business conditions. TheCompany’s ability to react to chang-ing market conditions has been pur-posefully maintained and developed.I would like to thank Lemmin-käinen’s personnel for their fine workand also our other stakeholdergroups for their co-operation andconfidence.

The Paving and Mineral Aggregates Division produces asphalt,
recycled asphalt macadam and specialist paving. It carries out
contracting in the fields of road paving, milling and road marking
as well as quarrying and crushing. The Division also produces
ready-mix concrete and mineral aggregates for resale, as well as
environmental geotechnology products and services. Head of Paving and Mineral AggregatesDivision Mr. Matti Kokko, B.Sc.(Eng.)
The Division’s net sales were EUR326.7 million (233.0). Net sales inFinland rose 2 % to EUR 204.3 mil-lion (200.4). Net sales from opera-tions abroad were up 275 % at EUR122.4 million (32.6). Exportsaccounted for 37 % (14) of theDivision’s net sales.
The reason for the growth in netsales from operations abroad was theacquisition of Icopal Roads’ asphaltand mineral aggregate operations.This acquisition boosted Lemmin-käinen’s share of the Danish andNorwegian markets.
The Division’s operating profitwas EUR 36.6 million (25.6). Theaverage number of employees in2001 was 2 044 (1 369).
ASPHALT PAVING AND ROAD MARKING
Lemminkäinen’s 90 productionplants produced 3.9 million tonnes(2.7) of asphalt in the Baltic Rimregion. The Company is the marketleader in Finland and the secondbiggest in the Nordic countries. Thegrowth in volume occurred abroad,mainly in Norway and Denmark.
The net sales of the Paving Unitwere EUR 268.4 million (174.9), of
which operations abroad accountedfor 45 % (18).
In Finland the prolonged down-ward trend in public road paving vol-umes came to an end. On the otherhand, orders from local authoritiesand the private sector fell slightly dueto the unfavourable development ofbuilding construction.
In Finland Lemminkäinen’sasphalt production volumesremained at the previous year’s level.The most important contractsincluded the paving of Helsinki-Vantaa Airport’s third runway and arepair contract at Oulu Airport. Salesof paving-related ancillary productsas well as environmental geotechnol-ogy products and services continuedto grow. The biggest contract in thelatterly mentioned business area wasthe construction of Joutseno landfillcomposting depot.
The acquisition of Icopal Roadsin March 2001 gave Lemminkäinena significant foothold in theNorwegian paving market andstrengthened its position inDenmark. The price level inDenmark and Norway was healthierthan in the previous year, but theDanish business suffered due toslacker general demand. In Sweden,paving contracting was expanded

In Estonia the price level ofpaving contracts was depressed inmany places, but the order book for2002 is better than usual thanks tothe company winning a number oflarge contracts. In Latvia, sales grewlargely on the back of good demandin the private sector. In Lithuania thecompany succeeded in increasingsales in the Vilnius and Klaipeda eco-nomic areas. In Russia the mostimportant contract was the asphaltpaving of Omsk airport in westernSiberia.
The average number of employ-ees in 2001 was 1 598 (934). TheHead of the Unit is Mr. MattiKokko, B.Sc. (Eng.).
The net sales of Lemminkäinen’sroad marking contractor, Tielinja Oy,were EUR 3.2 million (3.9), ofwhich operations abroad accountedfor 50 % (34). The most importantexport contracts were road markingworks carried out for the nationalroad administrations of Sweden andEstonia. The Managing Director ofTielinja Oy is Mr. Harri Linnakoski,B.Sc. (Eng.).
MINERAL AGGREGATES ANDREADY-MIX CONCRETE
Demand for mineral aggregates wasexceptionally good at the beginningof the year, but it peaked in the sum-mer and especially in the late autumnwas lower than in the previous year.
There were two significant rea-sons for the decline in demand.
Crushing orders from the RoadAdministration were down by sever-al million tonnes and mineral aggre-gate deliveries associated with build-ing construction fell as a consequenceof reduced activity in that sector. Theindustry’s overcapacity and theefforts of foreign-owned companiesto increase their market shares keptthe price level depressed all year.
A total of 13.9 million tonnes(13.6) of crushed aggregate was pro-duced and the net sales from mineralaggregate operations were EUR 55.5million (55.9). The average numberof employees in 2001 was 303 (295).
The most important mineralaggregate projects included crushingcontracts for the Lapland RoadDistrict as well as mineral aggregatedeliveries to various rail track centres,Pori Airport and the Highway 2 con-struction site.
The Head of the MineralAggregates Unit is Mr. Juhani Inna-nen, B.Sc.(Eng.).

Forssan Betonituote Oy supplied concrete to the site of Helsingin Energia’s cold store at Salmisaari. The facility is part of a larger contractbeing carried out by Lemminkäinen Construction Ltd for the energy company.
Production volumes of ready-mixconcrete fell especially in HelsinkiMetropolitan Area and other growthcentres as a consequence of thedecline in building construction. Theprice level of ready-mix concrete wasdepressed. In spite of these adversefactors, Forssan Betonituote Oyexceeded its production and net salesfigures for the previous year.
Forssan Betonituote acquired fullownership of Itä-Suomen Valmis-betoni Oy during the review year,and the company was reorganised tobetter meet future requirements. Thecompany’s capacity was almost fullyutilised. The most important con-tract in 2001 was the delivery of con-crete to Tornio steel mill.
Forssan Betonituote produced166 000 m3 (105 000) of concrete andits net sales were EUR 8.3 million(6.8). The Managing Director of thecompany was Mr. Jari Stenberg up to31st August 2001 and Mr. AnttiHujanen, B.Sc.(Eng.), thereafter.
RESEARCH ANDDEVELOPMENT
Lemminkäinen’s Central Laboratoryperformed development work andtechnical services for the Group’s var-ious units and companies. Most ofthe Central Laboratory’s develop-ment work was related to asphalttechnology, with the main focus ondifferent types of pavements, struc-tures suitable for groundwater pro-tection applications, and the reuse ofcontaminated soil. The average num-ber of employees in 2001 was 14(13). The Head of R&D is Mr. LarsForstén, M.Sc.(Eng.).
POSITIVE OUTLOOK
The rise in domestic road paving vol-umes that began in 2001 is expectedto continue in the years ahead. Thedemand situation in the pavingindustry has been abnormally low inthe Baltic Rim region. However,there are now signs that the industry’smarkets are recovering in the Nordic
and Baltic countries. In Russia thedeveloping economy holds out hopefor growth in the asphalt paving busi-ness.
The demand for mineral aggre-gates and ready-mix concrete closelyfollows changes in the volume ofbuilding construction. The majorroad and rail track building projectsthat are now starting will raisedemand in both business areas.

ROOFING MATERIALS ANDCONTRACTING
Lemminkäinen is Finland’s leadingroofing contractor. The Roofing Unithas 15 locations in Finland as well asservice points in Tallinn and St.Petersburg, enabling material salesand contracting throughout Finlandand its neighbouring countries.
The Lohja bituminous roofingfactory was modernised in the 1990sto raise efficiency and quality, and toimprove the environmental friendli-ness and safety of production. Gascleaning equipment was installed inthe autumn to minimise processodours by recovering and recyclingthe hydrocarbon compounds con-tained in the plant’s waste gases. Dustemissions have been minimised andsite traffic significantly reducedthanks to earlier investments.
A three-year training projectcame to an end during the autumnat the Lohja factory. As a result of thisproject the first maintenance profes-sionals completed their training. Thefirst roofer’s course was arranged incollaboration with the labour author-ities and a vocational training schoolin order to recruit new roofing work-ers. A continuation course is plannedfor this spring. Those employees ofthe Roofing Unit who completed thetraining course for waterproofing sys-tem fitters were presented with pro-fessional certificates.
Sales of roofing materials devel-oped positively: in spite of a generalmarket decline, sales were up both inFinland and abroad. The mostimportant export markets for roofingmaterials were Russia, Sweden, South

The main products of the RoofingUnit are bituminous and tiled roofs,but its services cover all kinds of roof-ing work. Altogether about 1.2 mil-lion square metres of roof surface werecompleted during the contracting sea-son. The most important contractsincluded the head offices of NokiaCorporation and Radiolinja in theKeilalahti district of Espoo andGigantti’s warehouse in Lappeen-ranta. The Roofing Unit was recog-nised when the Finnish RoofingAssociation selected the clay tile roofof Laune church in Lahti, whichLemminkäinen had completed in2001, as Roof of the Year.
Competition in roofing contract-ing was fierce throughout the wholeseason.
The net sales of the Roofing Unitwere EUR 54.0 million (55.0). Theaverage number of employees in 2001was 391 (393). The Head of the Unitis Mr. Ari Junttila, M.Sc.(Eng.).
CONCRETE AND NATURALSTONE PRODUCTS ANDURBAN ENVIRONMENT
CONSTRUCTION
Sales of pre-cast concrete stair unitsdropped by more than 10 % fromthe year 2000 level due to thereduced volume of building con-struction. However, demand at theend of the year had stabilised at theyear-end level of the previous year.Production resources were adjusted
to bring them into line with demand. A number of terrazzo and natural
stone contracts were completed in2001. Among the most important ofthese were the Iso Omena and Myllyshopping centres in Espoo and Raisio,where a considerable amount of ter-razzo and limestone flooring was laid.
Urban environment constructionincreased considerably from the levelof the previous year, and sales of urbanenvironment products made of con-crete grew by 5 %. The use of naturalstone in urban environment con-struction has increased especially intown and city centres. The high qual-ity of Lemminkäinen’s work onTilketori square in the Malmi suburbof Helsinki was singled out for partic-ular praise by the city’s building office.Significant intra-Group collabora-tions included the Monikonpuro con-tract in Espoo with LemminkäinenConstruction Ltd and works begun inthe autumn in the centre of Raahewith the Paving Unit.

The net sales of the ConcreteProducts Unit were EUR 27.1 mil-lion (25.5). The average number ofpersonnel in 2001 was 196 (207).The Head of the Unit is Mr. JuhaniUljas, M.Sc.(Eng.).
SPORTS CONSTRUCTION
Omni-Sica Oy is primarily a special-ist importer, supplier and contractorof sports-related products and sys-tems. The range of products and con-tracting services offered by the com-pany’s includes sports surfacings andunderlays, spectator stands, wateringsystems, fences and waterproofingsystems.
Investments in sport and athleticshave increased significantly inFinland in recent years. Omni-SicaOy has strengthened its position asFinland’s leading supplier and con-
tractor of sports surfacing systems.The company’s contracting capacitywas fully utilised in the 2001 season.
Deck coating contracting for theshipbuilding industry began in thespring of 2001. The first deck coat-ings were made at Masa Yards’ Turkushipyard on the Eagle III cruise ship.A movable spectator stand was alsoinstalled in the ship’s ice hall auditori-um.
Sports construction will contin-ue to be brisk in 2002. The use ofmore environmentally friendly andsolvent-free products and methods insports field surfacing will increase inthe future. The company has alreadybegun to study these products andtheir applications.
The company’s net sales wereEUR 8.8 million (6.7). The averagenumber of employees in 2001 was 38(26). The Managing Director of thecompany is Mr. Pekka Peho.
OUTLOOK FOR THECOMING SEASON
Most of the Division’s businesses aredirectly tied to the development ofconstruction generally, and no sig-
nificant change in the cyclical state ofthe sector is anticipated during 2002.
The outlook for the Roofing Unitin 2002 is somewhat uncertain, as theexpected decline in new constructionwill impact on the roofing marketand depress the price level. However,the volume of refurbishment work isexpected to be higher than last year,increasing the demand for roofingcontracting in this sector. The out-look for the Unit’s export markets isstill good, and efforts will be made tofurther boost exports in 2002. Salesof pre-cast concrete stair units aredirectly tied to new construction, andtheir production is expected to fallslightly. On the other hand, demandfor urban environment products isforecast to continue growing, and fullcapacity utilisation is expectedthroughout the production season.
The number of sports construc-tion projects will grow strongly.Omni-Sica Oy’s order book alreadyreaches long into the summer, prom-ising continued growth for the com-pany and a favourable outlook for theseason.

NET SALES
Lemminkäinen Construction Ltd specialises in international
construction projects. Over the past thirty years the company has
gained experience from projects on five continents. In recent years the
main focus of the company’s business has been in Europe, but with the
growth of its telecom network operations the importance of the Far
East and last year America has also grown. Lemcon Networks Ltd is the
company’s subsidiary specialising in network-related operations.
In Finland, Lemminkäinen Construction Ltd has consolidated its
position as a civil engineering contractor and as a project
management company in industrial, office and sports construction. Managing Director of LemminkäinenConstruction Ltd, Mr. Matti A. Mantere,M.Sc.(Eng.)

The Civil Engineering Unit offersa full range of civil engineering serv-ices in Finland and abroad. Thedemand for these services as a wholeremained quite good throughout theyear, although there were wide varia-tions between different sectors. Thecompany further strengthened itsposition as a specialist contractor ofrock engineering and foundationbuilding works. In spite of tensions on
the civil engineering market, theresult for the unit remained good.
Significant works carried out dur-ing the year included the repair of a20-kilometre-long section of thePäijänne water supply tunnel, con-struction of Botniabanan AB’s railwaytunnel in Sweden, jet grouting rein-forcement of the foundations of theNational Theatre in Helsinki, andcompression pile reinforcement of thefoundations of a commercial block in

The most important project inFinland was Nordea’s new officebuilding in Helsinki. Phase I of theproject was completed and phase IIstarted during the review year. Othermajor projects included FosterWheeler’s bio-power plant in Ääne-koski and Finland’s first Bauhaushome-improvement centre in Vantaa.Sports construction projects includedgolf courses and sports arenas. SakuHall was completed in Tallinn andconstruction work began on a largemultipurpose hall in Hamburg.
The focus in exports remained onEurope. In Germany, work began ontwo projects for Nokia, one of which,an R&D centre in Ulm, will be com-pleted this spring. In Poland andHungary production facilities werebuilt for Elcoteq. Stora Enso’s papermill construction project in Belgium,which began at the end of the year, isthe latest in a series of mill construc-tion projects managed by Lemmin-käinen since the early 1980s. Nomajor projects have yet begun inRussia or the Baltic States, althoughthere are now more potential investorsthan earlier. In Russia a few minorprojects were carried out for interna-tional clients. In China the companywas involved in the construction of
Nokia’s biggest mobile phone plant.Projects are also underway inVietnam.
The average number of projectmanagement personnel in 2001 was146 (194). Domestic operations andsports construction are the responsi-bility of Mr. Jouko Niemonen,B.Sc.(Eng.). Mr. Henrik Eklund,
M.Sc.(Eng.) is responsible for projectmanagement exports.
TELECOM NETWORKCONSTRUCTION
Net sales from telecom network con-struction were EUR 15.5 million (Inthe year 2000 comparable net saleswere included in those of the ProjectManagement Unit).
Lemminkäinen Construction Ltdhas engaged in telecom network con-struction since 1996. At the end ofthe year 2000 these operations weretransferred to Lemcon Networks Ltd,a subsidiary set up especially for thatpurpose.
The geographical and operationalscope of telecom network construc-tion grew in 2001. Projects were car-ried out in eight different countries inthe Far East, Europe and theAmericas. The size of the contractsvaried from consultance assignmentsto turn-key projects, and the contentof works covered the whole spectrumof mobile phone network construc-tion from design to the installation
The construction of multipurpose halls continued. Saku Hall in Tallinn was completed in September 2001.

and start-up of base stations. Lemcon Networks has collaborat-
ed with many other companies oper-ating in the sector all over the world.In the summer the company signedan agreement with the US companyNorthStar Communications Groupconcerning the construction of wire-less networks in the United States.
The number of telecom networkproject employees grew in 2001 andwas about 200 at the end of the year(the number of employees in 2000 isincluded in the figure for the ProjectManagement Unit). The employeesare of about 20 different nationalities;less than a third of them are Finns.
The Managing Director ofLemcon Networks Ltd is Mr. JuhaNurmi, M.Sc. (Eng.).
FUTURE OUTLOOK
Despite the likelihood of lessfavourable market conditions, Lem-minkäinen Construction Ltd’s goodorder book and strong market posi-tion give the company a reasonablygood starting point for the current
year. The company’s order book at theend of 2001 was EUR 124.7 million(107.1).
The market situation for civilengineering looks slightly weakerthan in 2001. Fewer new projects arein hand than in the previous year.The market situation will also be sig-nificantly influenced by the reorgan-isation of the Finnish RoadAdministration (Finnra), which hasalready led to a considerable increasein both the size of contracts and theresponsibilities of contractors. TheFinnish Road Enterprise has won 80% of the big turn-key projects putout to tender, which has increasedcompetition for contracts in the tra-ditional size class. Already at the endof 2001 this unhealthy competitionwas reflected in the financial difficul-ties experienced by smaller civil engi-neering contractors. On the otherhand, the effects of the changeprocess currently underway have notbeen entirely negative for the sector.Larger entities have been accompa-nied by new contact forms such as
full-liability contracts and projectmanagement construction.
Good preconditions exist forproject management contractingboth in Finland and abroad.However, the reduction in invest-ments by Nokia Corporation repre-sents a significant change in thedemand situation. The experiencegained from Nokia contracts coupledwith expertise in different fields willenable the company to continue serv-ing both Finnish and internationalclients as a construction partner.
The outlook for telecom networkconstruction is good. The first 3Gprojects have begun in Europe andAsia. A number of 2.5/3G projectswill be carried out in North andSouth America over the next fewyears. In 2002 Lemcon Networkswill strive to develop and expand itsoperations mainly in its present mar-ket areas.

NET SALES
The Palmberg Group’s business area is building construction,
which includes competitive tender contracting of both new
building and refurbishment work as well as private-sector
housing, commercial and industrial developments. In addition to
this, the subsidiary Oy Konte Ab operates as a building contractor
in the Umeå region of Sweden and two others manufacture ready-
mix concrete and concrete products in Ostrobothnia. Managing Director, Mr. Risto Bono,M.Sc.(Econ.), M.Sc.(Eng.)
The Palmberg Group consists of theparent company, Oy Alfred A.Palmberg Ab, and its nine regionallyoperating subsidiaries. The numberof subsidiaries grew by one duringthe review year, when Palmbergacquired a majority stake in theTurku-based company TKU-Raken-nus Oy. At the same time it wasdecided that the company wouldmerge with the Group’s SouthwestFinland Unit to form Palmberg TKUOy. The Group’s subsidiaries alsohave three other actively operatingsubsidiaries.
The Group’s net sales were EUR387.5 million (452.8), representing
a 14.4 % decrease in business vol-ume. The value of the order book atthe end of the accounting period fellto EUR 177.4 million (217.5). Thegroup’s operating profit was EUR12.4 million (14.7).
The net sales of the PalmbergGroup in the metropolitan area areproportionately smaller than those ofother similarly sized constructioncompanies. Especially in southeastFinland and Ostrobothnia the
Group’s subsidiaries are among thebiggest actors in their field. TheGroup’s proportional share is signifi-cant in the Tampere area as well.
The operations of the parentcompany in the metropolitan area areprimarily concerned with own hous-ing and commercial developments,whereas the subsidiaries derive mostof their net sales from contracting.Oka Oy, which specialises in façaderenovation work also and operates allover southern Finland, is the excep-tion to Palmberg’s regional organisa-tion.
The results of all of the Group’sunits were at least satisfactory, withthe exception of the Tampere-basedsubsidiary Rakennustoimisto Palm-berg Oy, which once again made aloss. Its losses stem from misappro-priation of funds that first came tolight towards the end of the previousyear. The full extent of this miscon-duct was not determined until dur-ing 2001.
The number of own residentialdevelopment apartments completedby the Group was 752 (718). At theend of the accounting period, 456(718) own development apartmentswere under construction. New apart-ments completed under competitivetender contracting totalled 1 124

The average number of employ-ees in the Group during the account-ing period was 1 522 (1 584), ofwhom 501 (487) were salaried staff.
OUTLOOKFOR 2002
The demand for new building con-struction is expected to decline gen-erally in 2002. This is likely to occurprimarily in the commercial andoffice building sector. Lower interestrates, continuing migration togrowth centres, good incomes devel-opment and resilient household con-fidence support a satisfactory outlookfor residential construction. Thenumber of new starts may even rise.Public-sector housing production isexpected to decline generally, but inthis case too the situation maychange if the proposed amendmentsto loan terms are implemented. Thebuilding refurbishment market islikely to continue growing steadily.This growth will embrace small-scalerepair work as well as larger buildingconversion or refurbishment con-tracts for housing companies, espe-cially comprehensive façade renova-tion projects.
Tougher price competition isexpected in competitive tender con-tracting. If contract prices do fall,most of the reduction will be due tolower input prices but it may alsomean that margins have been cut.
The Palmberg Group’s ownhousing developments are expected
to remain at or slightly below the2001 level. This is not due to anydemand factors but to the scarcity ofsuitable building land. The introduc-tion of Finland’s new land use andconstruction laws, among other fac-tors, has turned out to be a bigger-than-expected obstacle to securing orchanging the urban planning statusof land owned by the Group. In par-ticular, progress through the differ-ent stages of the appeals procedure ismuch slower than had been antici-pated.
Moreover, planning issues con-cerning a number of commercial andoffice building sites have held up thecommencement of work. However,it is expected that it will be possibleto make a start on some of thesedelayed sites in 2002. This will, ofcourse, depend on how the demandsituation develops in the earlymonths of the year.

Work began on up-grading thequality management system certifi-cated to the ISO 9002 standard tomeet the requirements of the newISO 9001 standard.
TECHNICAL BUILDINGSERVICES
The company offers the full range oftechnical building services. Duringthe review year Tekmanni strength-ened its position as a full-service sup-plier of HVACE, sprinkler, cooling,fire protection, telecommunications,security, data and automation sys-tems. An energy measurement sys-tem developed by Tekmanni for busi-ness premises was added to the com-
pany’s service concept. The mostimportant projects of the TechnicalBuilding Services unit were carriedout in commercial and office build-ings.
The value of the Finnish marketfor technical building servicesremained at the year 2000 level andwas about EUR 2.9 billion. Thebuilding refurbishment marketdeveloped more favourably than newconstruction.

The unit expanded its business tosix new locations during the reviewyear. The main aim in customer rela-tions was to make maintenanceagreements, taking account of thefacility’s entire life cycle, on the basisof partnership.
The net sales of the TechnicalFacility Services unit rose 76 % toEUR 19.8 million (11.4).
INDUSTRIALINSTALLATIONS AND
MAINTENANCE
The key services of the IndustrialInstallations and Maintenance unit areprocess electrification and automationinstallations. The unit provides serv-ices to meet the needs of the forest,basic metals, chemical, food and pow-er production industries.
Industrial investments were at ahigh level during the review year,especially in the forest industry. Inthe chemicals and power productionindustries the emphasis was onprocess modernisation.
Tekmanni increased its marketshare in industrial process electrifica-tion and automation installations.Business efficiency was improvedthanks to the quality managementsystem and the TEK-PRO projectmanagement system developed bythe company.
The net sales of the IndustrialInstallations and Maintenance unitwere EUR 32.2 million (24.9). Netsales are expected to develop favou-rably also in 2002.
TELECOMMUNICATIONSNETWORKS
The services of the Telecommuni-cations Networks unit include LANsfor individual facilities, industrialnetworks, city networks and nation-
wide networks. Tekmanni deliversGSM, GPRS and UMTS base sta-tions complete with equipmentspaces and link installations.
In outdoor network deliveriesTekmanni’s biggest contracts wererelated to expansions of GSM net-works. In base station constructionthe company switched from turnkeydeliveries to different types of systemdeliveries and installation contracts.
The indoor network market grewover 10 %. Growth was as big in allsegments of the market: data transfernetworks, fire protection, burglaralarm, access control and CCTV sys-tems. Tekmanni developed its opera-tions as a integrator of different tele-communications and security systems.
INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS
The timing of Tekmanni’s exportstart-up was most opportune. TheRussian market recovered as expect-ed, and the St. Petersburg subsidiaryhad a full order book all year. In addi-tion to St. Petersburg, Tekmanni hassubsidiaries in Moscow, Tallinn andVilnius.
Tekmanni supplied the sprinkler system for the Mylly shopping centre in Raisio. The compa-ny also carried out the building’s electrical contract.
Boiler electrification and instrumentation works were carried out for Jämsänkosken Voima Oy.
25lemminkäinen corporation annual report 2001
OUTLOOK
The technical building services mar-ket is likely to remain at last year’slevel in 2002. Tekmanni’s order bookis the biggest in the company’s histo-ry, and the starting points for the cur-rent year are good. Tekmanni’sTechnical Building Services unit isexpected to maintain the marketposition that it has achieved. As com-mercial and office building declines,the unit’s services will be orientedmore towards refurbishment work.
This year Tekmanni will focus ontechnical facility services and indus-trial installations and maintenance.The growth of refurbishment workwill also open up new markets fortechnical facility services. The out-sourcing of facility maintenance serv-ices will increase.
The outlook for the industry isgood. No major projects are expectedin the forest sector, but the forestindustry will continue its papermachine rebuilds in 2002. Invest-ments in new power plants and in thebasic metals industry will also con-tinue.
Telecommunications networkconstruction is currently goingthrough a transitional stage, asnationwide fixed network construc-tion has come to almost completehalt. The switch to UMTS construc-tion will not gather momentum untilthe second half of 2002.
The outlook for Tekmanni’sexports to Russia has improved andthe order book is growing.

risk management
Lemminkäinen’s risks are dividedinto six categories: market risks, proj-ect risks, financing risks, credit lossrisks, environmental risks, and acci-dents and damage.
MARKET RISKS
The most significant of Lemmin-käinen’s market risks is the cyclicalnature of new construction. This riskis managed by structural means andoperational preparedness. Unlikemost other construction companies,the structure of the LemminkäinenGroup is such that only about a halfof its business sectors are dependenton domestic building construction.Operationally, the Group countersmarket risks by maintaining the flex-ibility and responsiveness necessaryto adjust quickly to changing marketconditions.
PROJECT RISKS
Building contracting is essentially arisky business. The building contrac-tor is always exposed the risk of esti-mated contract costs being exceeded.This risk is managed in three ways.
Firstly, business is oriented sothat the average contract size is quitesmall. The net sales generally annual-ly from even the biggest of Lem-minkäinen’s contracts will not exceedabout 5 % of the Group total in anygiven year. This means that the fail-ure of an individual contract cannothave a major impact on the Group’sresult. Secondly, Lemminkäinen isselective when deciding on the proj-ects for which it will submit tenders.The Company does not tender forprojects when it does not possess thenecessary resources or previous expe-rience. Thirdly, special attention iscontinuously paid to project man-agement and its development.
The sales risk associated withown housing and commercial devel-opment is controlled by not startingsuch developments without advancemarketing and the receipt of suffi-
cient reservations. Unplanned landor building rights are not acquiredfor future use without carefully plan-ning when construction can start andwho could be the site’s users andowners.
FINANCING RISKS
All significant corporate or businessacquisitions are evaluated criticallyfrom the perspectives of their cashflow and impact on the balancesheet.
The Group hedges againstInterest rate and foreign exchangerisks in the conventional ways. Thematurities of seasonal credit stem-ming from the nature of Lemmin-käinen’s business are short, whilethose of other borrowings are mostlylong. Receivables denominated inforeign currencies and the share cap-ital of foreign subsidiaries are hedged.
CREDIT LOSSES
Lemminkäinen’s credit losses havealways been minimal in relation tothe scale of the Group’s operations.The main risks in this respect areassociated with business in Russia.As a general rule, construction proj-ects in Russia are only undertakenagainst receipt of advance payments.If a credit risk is accepted exception-ally, the amount permitted is alwayspredetermined in relation to theexpected margin on the project inquestion.
ENVIRONMENTAL RISKS
The environmental risks associatedwith the Group’s businesses areanalysed in advance. Risk assessmentand risk management are part of theGroup’s normal operations. Environ-mental risks are minimised by reduc-ing emissions and by improving thestorage and handling of oils and oth-er chemicals. The management ofenvironmental affairs and the effectsof the Group’s operations on theenvironment are continuously mon-
itored by means of internal checksand control programmes.
ACCIDENTS AND DAMAGE
The Group’s fixed assets are insuredagainst damage or loss in accordancewith the insurance policy approvedannually by the parent company’sBoard of Directors. Owing to theaccident-prone nature of construc-tion work, special attention is con-tinuously paid to the development ofindustrial health & safety.

environment
Environmental issues have beenembraced as an essential aspect ofmanagement, production and cus-tomer service in the LemminkäinenGroup’s business units. This com-mitment is demonstrated by thedevelopment of the Group’s businesssystems to meet the requirements ofthe ISO 14001 environmental man-agement system, by improvements inrisk management, and by invest-ments in environment protection.
Environmental management andsafety systems have been developedin connection with quality manage-ment or business systems, and theycover most of Lemminkäinen’s oper-ations. The ISO 14001 environmen-tal management certificate and theOHSAS 18001 occupational healthand safety certificate were awarded tothe Group’s asphalt paving opera-tions in Finland during the account-ing period. An environmental man-agement system conforming to ISO14001 was also brought into use incivil engineering contracting and inbituminous roofing production.Systems development work is cur-rently underway in building con-struction operations and in theConcrete Products Unit.
ENVIRONMENTALLYFRIENDLY ASPHALT
Finland’s first covered asphalt plantequipped with bituminous vapourrecycling equipment was broughtinto service during the review year.The new plant releases less dust,noise and odours into the environ-ment. Covered mineral aggregatestores that cause less dust were alsobrought into use at the asphalt plant.
The use of reclaimed pavementin the production of recycled asphaltmixes was further increased.Lemminkäinen produced about 1.5million m2 of Remix recycled asphaltpavements in 2001. In the produc-tion of recycled asphalt all the rawmaterial and energy content of the
reclaimed pavement can be fullyutilised.
Lemminkäinen stepped up theprocessing of contaminated soils. Amobile mixing plant was developedto treat soils contaminated with bothheavy metals and oils before theirfinal disposal.
Lemminkäinen was recognisedwhen its Paving Unit won the firstprize in an environmental protectionand safety competition organised bythe Finnish Asphalt Association.
ODOURS AND WASTESUNDER CONTROL
Environmental investments intend-ed to minimise production plantemissions were completed. Bitu-minous odour that had disturbed res-idents living near Lohja roofing fac-tory was brought under control byinstalling flue gas cleaning equip-ment. Vaporous bitumen is nowrecovered and reused in the process.
Following the start-up of theprocess water plant at Sammonmäkiconcrete products factory, designwork began on landscaping of the oldsludge area. Environmental protec-tion standards at Lemminkäinen’sroofing and concrete product facto-ries have been improved by procur-ing equipment for waste manage-ment and spillage containmentbasins for bulk chemicals.
Lemminkäinen’s product packag-ing and materials importing opera-tions are members of theEnvironmental Register of PackagingPYR Ltd, through which the organi-sation and implementation of prod-uct packaging recycling is assigned toproducer organisations of the pack-aging industry.
SYSTEMATIC APPROACH TOENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
Lemminkäinen Construction Ltd’senvironmental management andenvironmental protection proceduresconforming to ISO 14001 were
linked to the company’s business sys-tems. The preparation of environ-ment management plans for projectswas incorporated into the processalready at the project planning stage.Environmental protection on siterequires actions such as waste sortingand the control of waste volumes andcosts. The introduction of newequipment enabled the use of envi-ronmentally friendly oils in rockengineering works. The company’senvironmental protection work wasrecognised when its Nordea officebuilding contract was selected as theEnvironmental Project of the Year.
Palmberg’s environmental pro-tection procedures in building con-struction and materials procurementwere linked to its quality manage-ment systems. Site-specific environ-mental plans that take greater acc-ount of environmental risks includemeasures to reduce and control wastevolumes and emissions. On-site envi-ronmental protection is also sup-ported by the company’s procure-ment procedures.
Tekmanni Oy introduced a life-cycle model to the calculation oftechnical building system and prod-uct costs.
ENVIRONMENTAL TRAINING
The focus of environmental trainingfor the Group’s personnel is on envi-ronmental risk management as wellas the development and introductionof environmental management sys-tems. Most of the environmentaltraining takes place in connectionwith safety and quality training.
OPEN DISCUSSIONS WITHSTAKEHOLDERS
Environmental issues related to theCompany’s operations are dealt withopenly in co-operation with differentstakeholders. Meetings with residentswere arranged at the Company’s pro-duction plants and in the vicinity ofrock engineering and excavation sites.

research and development
The companies and business units ofthe Lemminkäinen Group are inde-pendently responsible for their ownresearch and development, most ofwhich occurs in connection with dif-ferent construction projects. TheCentral Laboratory supports theseindependent efforts by carrying outR&D at Group level. Lemmin-käinen’s R&D input represents, onaverage, 0.4 % of the Group’s netsales. Almost all of the business unitshave certificated ISO 9000 qualitymanagement systems. Environment-al management and/or safety systemsare being prepared in many units,and the first of these have alreadybeen certificated.
BENEFITING CUSTOMERS AND THE
ENVIRONMENT
Many of Lemminkäinen’s R&Dprojects in 2001 had environmentalthemes. Environmental risks or pol-lution were studied and environ-mental protection products and serv-ices were developed. A number ofprojects concerning the service life
and life cycle of products were under-way in 2001.
Lemminkäinen maintains closecontact with vocational schools offer-ing training in the construction field.The aim of this collaboration is toensure the future supply of profes-sionally qualified personnel and toopen up an important recruitmentchannel.
The high level of activity main-tained over recent years in tradition-al technical development work con-tinued in 2001. The aim of this workis to ensure the Lemminkäinen’sproducts, methods and servicesremain productive, competitive andinteresting for customers.
Most of Lemminkäinen’s R&Dwork is performed in close collabo-ration with customers. Test buildingand on-site trials are an importantpart of development work. Many ofthe Group’s business units have takenpart in the sector’s joint research proj-ects, e.g. different technology pro-grammes of the National TechnologyAgency (TEKES).
SILENT ASPHALT, HARD STONE
The internationalisation of Lem-minkäinen’s asphalt paving operationshas strongly influenced R&D.Synergy for business operations andbetween products and services hasbeen sought through benchmarkingstudies and research collaboration.Finland gained a new product fromDenmark: Confalt – a very resilientcomposite pavement. Efforts aremade to exploit Lemminkäinen’sexpertise in polymer-modified bitu-men technology and environmentalprotection structures in the Group’sasphalt paving companies abroad.New noise-reducing pavement struc-tures are also being developed.
Mineral aggregate processingcapacity and technology has beendeveloped to produce durable andhard stone for asphalt and railways.Road marking services have beenimproved by developing new prod-ucts such as profile markings.
NEW PRODUCTS
The life cycle and service life of bitu-minous roofs have been clarified in

different studies. Also the possibilitiesof recycling old bituminous roofingand the wastes of the roofing materi-al factory has been studied.
New natural stone and concreteproducts were developed for wall andcladding applications. New flexiblesurfacings were developed for tenniscourts, playgrounds and ship decks,and new polyurethanes that are watersoluble and safe to handle were triedout in sports surfacing products.
HIGH-TECH TUNNELS
The most significant developmentwork in rock engineering concerneddrilling technology for tunnel excava-tions The world’s first four-boomdatajumbo drilling rig came into serv-ice in summer 2001. Its introductionwas preceded by production technol-ogy development work lasting about ayear. Shotcrete and its productiontechnology were improved to meetstricter quality requirements.
The R&D focus in foundationconstruction has been on the devel-opment of a deep-stabilisationmachine. In addition, piling tech-nologies and techniques have beendeveloped for repair works in con-nection with projects.
The Project Management Unit
has taken part in the "HealthyHouse" programme and its associat-ed pilot project. The whole conceptof developing and building multi-purpose halls has been formulated inthe so-called Arena project. Projectmanagement contracting has beendeveloped with the aid of academicdissertations and other studies. Thesestudies have often been done withclients, e.g. Nokia Corporation, inconnection with practical construc-tion projects.
MORE EFFICIENT BUILDINGCONSTRUCTION
Palmberg and Lemminkäinen’sBuilding Materials Division haveboth improved their capabilities inelectronic commerce and the use ofproject databanks. Palmberg has tak-en part in a concrete constructionprogramme led by the FinnishAssociation of Construction ProductIndustries. The material usage andquality of concrete moisture controlin industrialised concrete construc-tion, and the degree of prefabricationhave all been developed in the pro-gramme. The company also partici-pated in a refurbishment qualityassurance project.
Tekmanni Oy has been develop-ing a fully integrated project man-agement tool. The company’s ownproject management system has beenbrought into service. In addition, lifecycle calculation models have beendeveloped for technical buildingservices and work on their producti-sation has begun.
Lemminkäinen’s Central Lab-oratory actively participates and assistsin the R&D work of the Group’sunits. It also carries out product devel-opment assignments and tests.

PERSONNEL (AVERAGE)
Toni Heiskanen and Niko Ahlfors make bituminous roofing materials at Lemminkäinen’s Lohja factory.
Achievement of the Group’s goals issupported by personnel develop-ment. The availability of profession-al and motivated personnel has wors-ened in some of the Group’s businesssectors. The construction sector lacksappeal and this is reflected in thenumber of applicants for training.Lemminkäinen supports the expert-ise and fitness-for-work of its exist-ing personnel, and is actively engagedin recruiting young people studyingat different vocational schools.
The emphasis in personnel devel-opment is on vocational training thatleads to the award of a diploma.Business management training con-tinues on a sector-specific basis. Theinformation systems of the personneladministration function includetraining and expertise registers.
The organisational functionalityis measured by means of work atmos-phere and opinion surveys of the per-sonnel and customers. The develop-ment needs highlighted by these sur-veys is taken in consideration inorganisational development plans.
RECRUITMENT
The focus in recruitment is on youngpeople studying or completing theirstudies at vocational schools. A net-work of contacts has been build upwith such schools that meet the needsof the Group’s business sectors in dif-ferent parts of the country. Workguidance counsellors and initiatorshave been trained for the Group’s dif-ferent business sectors. Efforts arebeing made to develop the field’sdiplomas and teaching to meet pres-
ent-day needs and demand. Thebiggest improvement has been theopportunity to specialise in theasphalt field at vocational schoolsoffering training for drivers of con-struction vehicles.
FITNESS-FOR-WORK
Various events maintaining the fit-ness-for-work of employees and sup-porting their early rehabilitationfrom illness or injury were arrangedduring the review year. About 200employees from different personnelgroups took part in these events,which was well supported by theSocial Insurance Institution and anumber of pension insurance com-panies. More fitness-for-work eventswill be arranged in the future.
The physical exercise behaviourof all the employees was analysed bymeans of a questionnaire survey. Theresults of this survey were used toprepare an employee exercise pro-gramme, which will be introduced inspring 2002. The study was con-ducted in collaboration with theFinnish Fitness Sports Association

and received significant support fromIlmarinen Mutual Pension InsuranceCompany and LEL EmploymentPension Fund.
VOCATIONAL TRAINING
The emphasis in vocational trainingis on studies that lead to the award ofa diploma. Experts from the Group’sdifferent fields have made an impor-tant contribution to the developmentof new professional diplomas both ascurriculum planners and as courseinstructors. The fruits of this workinclude vocational diplomas in thefields of civil engineering and roof-ing contracting.
The study group at Lohja factorycompleted a vocational maintenancediploma in accordance with earlierdiploma systems. The PalmbergGroup’s site personnel at differentlocations began studies leading tovocational and special vocationaldiplomas for building productionstaff.
FUNCTIONAL ORGANISATION
Feedback on organisational func-tionality was gathered using financialindicators, customer satisfaction sur-veys and internal values. All the unitsof the Group used this approach toanalyse their own operations. The
method has become a functionalorganisational development tool.The results were examined with thepersonnel of each organisation andkey development areas were definedon the basis of the results. The pro-cedure will be repeated at intervals of1-2 years, depending on the needs ofthe organisation.
PERSONNEL DEVELOPMENT
Personnel development is based onthe needs of the individual or theneeds of the business. The needs ofthe individual are analysed in con-nection with personal developmentdiscussions. About a hundred man-agers received training during theyear with the aim of making thispractice systematic. Training andexpertise files were created to supportdevelopment and the management ofresources.
Leadership development pro-grammes were carried out businessspecifically, mainly in the PavingUnit and in Tekmanni Oy.Altogether about 300 employeestook part in these programmes.

CONSTRUCTION MARKET
The strong growth of the Finnish con-struction market that had lasted for anumber of years came to an end, drop-ping from 6 % in the previous year toless than 1 % in 2001.
The volume of building construc-tion fell slightly. The volume of housingproduction declined over 10 % last yearand the number of new housing startswas about 29 000. Commercial andoffice building also followed the down-ward cyclical trend, whereas the build-ing volume of new starts in industrialand warehouse construction was about15 % up on the previous year. Therewas also a marked increase in construc-tion for the public services sector.
The volume of civil engineeringcontracting remained unchanged. Thevolume of asphalt paving contractingin Finland was flat at the previousyear’s level, whereas total demand forcrushed aggregate fell 5-10 %. The vol-ume of rock engineering workremained at the good level of the previ-ous year.
There was a marked rise in billingfor construction exports to just underEUR 700 million. In particular, therecovering Russian construction mar-ket boosted the foreign sales of Finnishbuilding companies.
NET SALES AND PROFITS
The net sales of the LemminkäinenGroup rose 16 % and were EUR1 116.5 million (964.6), of which oper-ations abroad accounted for EUR202.5 million (117.6) or 18 % (12).The improvement in the Group’s resultcontinued. The operating profit wasEUR 69.7 million (50.2), the profitbefore taxes EUR 61.7 million (46.4)and the profit for the accounting periodEUR 55.1 million (29.3). The returnon investment was 23.0 % (20.7), thereturn on equity 31.4 % (19.9) andearnings per share EUR 3.23 (1.72).
The profit for the accountingperiod was improved in part by the annulment of LemminkäinenCorporation’s reassessed taxation for theyear 1990 and the inclusion of a EUR15.2 million tax rebate in the incomestatement of the parent company.Denying the Finnish tax authoritiesleave to appeal, the Supreme Admin-istrative Court upheld Helsinki Admin-istrative Court earlier ruling in favourof Lemminkäinen.
The net sales of the Paving andMineral Aggregates Division were EUR326.7 million (233.0). The Division’soperating profit improved and wasEUR 36.6 million (25.6). The growthin net sales was mainly due to theacquisition of Icopal Roads, whichresulted in the Division’s net sales fromexports and operations abroad rising toEUR 122.4 million (32.6), i.e. 37 %(14) of total net sales. In addition tothe new asphalt paving markets, thefavourable earnings trend was influ-enced by improved cost effectivenessand higher sales of ancillary asphaltpaving products and geotechnical prod-ucts.
The acquisition of Icopal Roads’asphalt paving and mineral aggregateoperations in Denmark and Norwayhas affected the net sales and result forthe accounting period since the begin-ning of April. The first-quarter loss ofthese operations, which stems fromtheir seasonal nature, is not included inthe Division’s result. Goodwill amount-ing to EUR 37.5 million arising fromthe Icopal transaction will be writtenoff over 20 years, as the yield expecta-tions of the acquisition are good also inthe long term.
The net sales of the BuildingMaterials Division rose slightly to EUR89.9 million (87.2). The Division’soperating profit remained flat at theprevious year’s level and was EUR 5.4million (5.2). Sales of bituminous roof-ing materials and urban environmentproducts rose, whereas demand for pre-cast concrete stair units declined withthe fall-off in building constructionactivity.
The net sales of LemminkäinenConstruction Ltd fell slightly to EUR160.3 million (165.0). The company’soperating profit improved markedlyand was EUR 10.5 million (4.9). At the end of 2000 LemminkäinenConstruction Ltd set up LemconNetworks Ltd, a subsidiary specialisingin telecom network construction, tojoin its traditionally strong civil engi-neering and project management con-tracting businesses. Both the volumeand scope of telecom network con-struction grew strongly in 2001.Lemcon Networks Ltd’s net sales wereEUR 15.5 million.
The net sales of Oy Alfred A.Palmberg Ab, which specialises inbuilding contracting on the Finnish
market, fell to EUR 387.5 million(452.8). Palmberg’s operating profitwas also down on the previous year atEUR 12.4 million (14.7). The numberof new private-sector housing starts waslower than in 2000, mainly due to thescarcity of suitable building plots. Thenumber of own residential develop-ment apartments completed by thecompany was 752 units (718). Newapartments completed under competi-tive tender contracting totalled 1 124(1 691).
The technical building servicescontractor Tekmanni Oy was consoli-dated into the Lemminkäinen Groupin October 2000. The company’s netsales in 2001 were EUR 178.0 million(45.1) and its operating profit EUR 6.0million (1.8). Tekmanni’s full-year netsales in 2000 were EUR 139.9 millionand its operating profit EUR 4.9 mil-lion. Goodwill of EUR 28.4 millionfrom the Tekmanni acquisition will bewritten off over 10 years.
INVESTMENTS
The Group’s gross investments in fixedassets were EUR 94.0 million (72.4).The above-mentioned acquisitions inDenmark and Norway accounted formost of the investment total. Theremaining investments were primarilytargeted at paving, crushing and exca-vation equipment, production plant forbuilding materials, and building con-struction equipment.
The company sold its head officebuilding for EUR 19.3 million.
ORDER BOOK
The value of the Group’s uninvoicedorders at the end of the accountingperiod was EUR 440.7 million (451.1),of which operations abroad accountedfor EUR 66.4 million (37.9). Theincrease in orders from abroad was pri-marily attributable to the acquisition ofIcopal Roads.
FINANCING
According to the source and applica-tion of funds statement, the cash flowfrom business operations was EUR81.2 million (23.4) and the cash flowbefore financing EUR 25.1 million (-44.5). The net increase in outstandingloans was EUR 18.0 million (47.3)andinterest-bearing liabilities at the end ofthe accounting period were EUR 138.7million (120.6). Investments were
33lemminkäinen corporation annual report 2001
financed partly by selling equipmentand contract receivables to financecompanies. The increase in outstand-ing loans occurred mainly in theDanish and Norwegian subsidiaries andin the local currencies of these compa-nies. Liquid funds were EUR 48.0 mil-lion (33.1) and interest-bearing netdebt EUR 90.7 million (87.5). Netfinancing expenses were EUR 8.0 mil-lion (3.8), representing 0.7 % (0.4) ofnet sales. Dividends totalling EUR 14.3million (14.3) were paid. The equityratio was 41.7 % (36.9) and the gearingratio 44.1 % (54.0).
PERSONNEL
The average number of personnel in theGroup during the accounting periodwas 6 311 (4 487), of whom 1 952(1 507) were salaried staff and 4 359(2 980) hourly paid employees. Thenumber of employees at the end of theyear was 5 967 (5 439).
RESEARCH ANDDEVELOPMENT
The Group’s research and developmentexpenses were approximately EUR 4.5million, representing 0.4 % of net sales.The R&D emphasis in 2001 was onprojects with environmental themes.
GROUP STRUCTURE
The company set up a Norwegian sub-sidiary, Lemminkäinen Norge AS, tocarry out the business operationsacquired from Icopal a/s. The sharecapital of the new subsidiary is NOK35.0 million.

INVESTIGATIONS OF THECOMPETITION AUTHORITIES
IN SWEDEN AND NORWAY
The competition authorities in Swedenand Norway are investigating theirrespective asphalt paving industries dueto suspicions of activities violating com-petition legislation. In both countriesthe investigations encompass all rele-vant companies in the industry.
Lemminkäinen Corporation has amajority stake in the Swedish companyKvalitetsasfalt i Mellansverige Ab. Thecompany’s net sales are approximatelyEUR 20 million and its market share is about 4 %. The net sales of Lem-minkäinen’s Norwegian subsidiaryLemminkäinen Norge AS are roughlyEUR 45 million and its market share isabout 17 %.
Lemminkäinen is not in possessionof any information suggesting thateither of the above-mentioned sub-sidiaries has been involved in these sus-pected violations.
OUTLOOK FOR THE YEAR 2002
No essential change in the volume ofdomestic building construction isexpected to occur this year. Buildingconstruction is expected to decline by3-4 %, but demand for housing will
remain good. The number of newhousing starts is expected to rise. Thevolume of civil engineering contractingis also expected to rise slightly thanksmainly to major railway and road proj-ects starting this year. Constructionexports appear to be developingfavourably.
No significant changes are antici-pated in the markets of the Paving andMineral Aggregates Division. Demandfor asphalt paving contracting isexpected to rise slightly in the BalticRim region and in Russia. TheDivision’s net sales are expected toremain flat and its profitability to con-tinue at the present good level.
The development of the BuildingMaterials Division’s net sales will belargely determined by the total volumeof building construction. The Division’snet sales are not expected to rise signif-icantly in a declining market, but itsresult is expected to remain at a goodlevel.
Lemminkäinen Construction Ltd’sgood order book and strong marketposition provide the company with agood starting point for the current year.No specific growth targets have beenset for the company’s net sales. Its prof-itability is likely to remain good.
The upward trend of Palmberg’snet sales that had lasted for several yearscame to an end in 2001. The scarcity ofbuilding plots will continue to limitprivate-sector housing production, anda decline in commercial and office con-struction also looks likely this year.Nonetheless, Palmberg’s net sales areexpected to remain flat at last year’slevel. The company is not expected toimprove its result in light of the presentoutlook.
It appears that the technical build-ing services market will remain stable in2002. Tekmanni’s good order book andthe outlook for its business sectors sug-gest that the company can maintain itsnet sales and result at last year’s level.
The development of the construc-tion market is now subject to moreuncertainty than before. However, sev-eral years of steady growth andfavourable earnings development haveleft Lemminkäinen reasonably wellplaced to meet the challenges of thecurrent year. Lemminkäinen’s net salesmay decline, but the company still hasevery chance of turning in anothergood result this year.

accounting principles
CONSOLIDATIONThe parent company, LemminkäinenCorporation, and all the group and af-filiated undertakings classified as in-vestments under non-current assets areincluded in the consolidated financialstatements.
Intra-group shareholdings havebeen eliminated using the past equitymethod, whereby the acquisition costof shares in subsidiary undertakingshas been eliminated against the share-holders’ equity of the subsidiary un-dertakings at the time of acquisition.The voluntary provisions and depreci-ation reserves of subsidiary undertak-ings at the time of acquisition less thedeferred tax liability are included inshareholders’ equity. Where the cost ofacquiring shares in a subsidiary under-taking exceeds the corresponding valueof its shareholders’ equity, the excess isassigned to fixed assets and/or goodwillon consolidation. The share assignedto fixed assets is depreciated in accor-dance with the depreciation plan forthe fixed asset item in question. Thedepreciation periods for goodwill onconsolidation are 5-20 years accordingto the plan in effect at the time of ac-quisition. A depreciation period oflonger than five years is applied tocompanies whose longer-term earningsexpectations are good, based on fac-tors such as strength of market posi-tion or good technical expertise intheir own areas of business.
Intra-group transactions and theinternal margin included in invento-ries have been eliminated in the con-solidated income statement, as have in-tra-group receivables, liabilities anddividend payments.
Minority interests have been de-ducted from the Group’s profit andshareholders’ equity and entered as aseparate item in the consolidated in-come statement and balance sheet.
The accounts of affiliated under-takings have been consolidated usingthe equity method, whereby, insteadof dividend income, the Group’s shareof the earnings of affiliated undertak-ings corresponding to its ownershipstake, less depreciation on goodwill, isincluded in the consolidated incomestatement. Correspondingly, theGroup’s share of the shareholders’ eq-uity of affiliated undertakings, includ-ing the tax liability, less the share ofvoluntary provisions and depreciationreserves, plus goodwill minus accumu-lated depreciation on goodwill, isrecorded as the value of the affiliatedundertakings on the consolidated bal-ance sheet.
FOREIGN CURRENCY ITEMSTransactions in foreign currencies arerecorded at the exchange rates ruling
on the date of the transaction.Receivables and liabilities denominat-ed in foreign currencies have been con-verted into Finnish marks at the ratesof exchange ruling on the last day ofthe accounting period.
Foreign currency receivables andliabilities protected by forward rateagreements are valued at the forwardrate, and the interest share is peri-odised on the basis of the duration ofthe agreements. Exchange rate differ-ences related to sales and purchases arerecorded as adjustments to the corre-sponding items. Exchange rate gainsand losses related to financing arerecorded as a net amount under finan-cial income and expenses.
When preparing the consolidatedfinancial statements, figures from thefinal accounts of foreign subsidiary un-dertakings have been converted intoFinnish marks at the exchange ratesruling on the last day of the accountingperiod. Translation differences arisingfrom eliminations of the shareholders’equity in foreign subsidiary undertak-ings have been recorded in sharehold-ers’ equity.
RECOGNITION OF INCOMEFROM CONSTRUCTION
PROJECTSThe consolidated and parent companyfinancial statements have been pre-pared in accordance with the percent-age-of-completion method, wherebyincome from construction projects isrecognised according to the degree ofproject completion. Although thecompleted contract method of incomerecognition is still used in the officialfinancial statements of subsidiary un-dertakings, they have prepared addi-tional financial statements based onthe percentage-of-completion methodfor the purpose of consolidation. Thedegree of project completion is calcu-lated as the ratio of actually incurredexpenses to estimated total expenses.The margin on Lemminkäinen’s owndevelopments is recognised as incomeon the basis of either the degree ofbuilding completion or the percentageof housing units sold, the lower valuetaking precedence. Anticipated lossesfrom unprofitable projects on the or-der book are recorded in total as ex-penses.
VALUATION ANDDEPRECIATION OF FIXED
ASSETSFixed assets are shown on the balancesheet at their original acquisition costsless accumulated annual planned de-preciation. In addition, the values ofsome land, buildings and sharehold-ings include revaluations, againstwhich no depreciation has beencharged.
Depreciation according to plan iscomputed using the straight-linemethod and is based on the economiclifetimes of the assets. The deprecia-tion periods are as follows:- Intangible rights
5 - 10 years- Goodwill and goodwill on
consolidation 5 - 20 years- Other capitalised expenditure
5 - 10 years- Buildings
10 - 40 years- Machinery and equipment
4 - 10 years- Mineral aggregate deposits
depreciation for decrease of substance- Others tangible assets
10 years
VALUATION OF INVENTORIESInventories have been valued accord-ing to the FIFO principle at their ac-quisition cost or, if lower, their new ac-quisition price or probable sellingprice. The value of inventories in-cludes the variable expenditure arisingfrom their acquisition and production.
VALUATION OF FINANCIALASSETS
Investments are valued at their acqui-sition cost or, if lower, their market val-ue.
PENSION LIABILITYPension security for employees of theGroup, inclusive of additional bene-fits, is covered by policies with pensioninsurance companies.
RESEARCH ANDDEVELOPMENT EXPENSES
R&D expenses are recorded in the yearduring which they are incurred.
LEASINGLeasing payments are recorded as an-nual expenses. The remaining rentalpayments of leasing contracts are pre-sented in the notes to the financialstatements under liabilities.
DIRECT TAXESTaxes calculated on the basis of the re-sults of group undertakings for the ac-counting period, adjustments to thetaxes of earlier accounting periods, andthe change in the deferred tax liabilityand asset are recorded as direct taxes onthe consolidated income statement.The deferred tax liability or asset is cal-culated for the timing differences be-tween taxation and accounting usingthe tax rate in force at the closing ofthe accounts. Confirmed losses thatare deductible against taxation aretreated as a tax asset to the extent thatthe Company will likely be able toutilise them in the near future.
