Guidance

Tikkurila gives guidance in the form of an official outlook statement published in interim reports, financial statements and the review of the Board of Directors. Tikkurila will provide outlook statements only for a period for which the company has a reasonable visibility. The outlook includes management's descriptive estimate on revenue and profitability. The estimate may also include other elements. No other forward-looking statements or answers to questions concerning the future performance are given unless the Company decides to update the guidance and publish a stock exchange release regarding the update.
