Vaisala Acquires Renewable Energy Assessment and Forecasting Services Company

Vaisala Corporation Stock Exchange Release December 17, 2013 at 8:05 p.m. Vaisala strengthens its position in the renewable energy market through the acquisition of 3TIER Inc., a US-based company with USD 9.0 million net sales in 2012 and 55 employees. The value of the deal is EUR 10.7 million. Vaisala is using its existing cash balance to finance the transaction. This acquisition will not have a material impact on Vaisala's 2013 financial result or balance sheet. Market guidance for 2014 will include also 3TIER's impact on Vaisala's financial result and it will be disclosed on February 10, 2014 in Vaisala's financial report for January-December 2013. 3TIER provides project feasibility, asset management and forecasting services to companies operating in the renewable energy market globally. While the majority of 3TIER's business comes from the wind energy market, the company also serves customers in the solar and hydro energy markets. 3TIER complements Vaisala's strong environmental sensing business, and its international distribution network will provide significant growth opportunities in Brazil, Nordic countries, China, Australia, India and the USA. "The renewable energy market is a focus area of Vaisala's Weather business, and the acquisition of 3TIER with its wind and solar energy emphasis, aligns perfectly with Vaisala's strategy. Wind energy represents an extensive market with long-term growth opportunities. 3TIER brings Vaisala valuable capabilities in renewable energy assessment and forecasting services applicable across our other segments as well," tells Kai Konola, Executive Vice President of Vaisala Weather Business. Vaisala's strategic intent has been to build a stronger position in the renewable energy sector.
