October-December revenues declined from the corresponding period in the previous year.

Vacon estimates that its operating profit percentage was approximately 10.1% in 2013 (9.4% excluding one- time items in 2012). The 2013 figures presented are preliminary and unaudited. In its market guidelines published previously, Vacon estimated that its revenues would increase 5-15 % and that its operating profit percentage excluding one- time items would be 10 - 12 % in 2013. Vacon will publish its 2013 Financial Statements Bulletin on 6 February 2014.
