Global financial turmoil

• Increasing signs of escalation from financial crisis into general economic downturn

• Near and mid-term future increasingly uncertain

• Financial crisis affects cost and availability of funds for construction and investments

Impact of turmoil on Cramo Group

• Cramo Group’s business performance continued in line with expectations

during Q3. Economic uncertainty overall has increased since mid-

September

– Continued difficult market situations in the Baltics and Denmark

– Positive performance has continued to date in Finland, Sweden,

Norway, and CEE (except the Baltics)

– Modular space business is performing particularly well, clearly

bringing stability to the Group’s operations

• New residential construction sector has remained particularly weak in

most markets. Also within new non-residential construction, investments

are being cut and projects have been postponed

• Competitive pressures have increased as growth rates start to level off

• Cost of funding has increased and capital markets are not functioning

properly

Determined actions to ensure competitivenessPrompt actions already taken which have secured Q3 2008 results

• Fast response profitability and efficiency improvement measures started already in H1 2008 in select markets and expanded to other markets in Q3

• Continuous focus on building long-term customer relationships throughout the Group, including outsourcing deals

– Strengthened market position resulting in increased competitiveness

• Determined cost reduction actions already taken

– Cost adjustments in markets with slower growth contributed to the Group’s performance

– The Group, in the normal course of its business, is constantly monitoring and adjusting its cost base, including its personnel costs

• Other cost reduction activities on-going based on contingency plans

• Significant reductions in investments already in Q3

• Fleet transfer and optimization activities accelerated

• Additional finance commitments secured in October-November

Equipment rental – Western Europe(Norway, Denmark, The Netherlands until 31.3.2007)

� Strong sales growth continued in Norway and Denmark

� Cramo succeeded in boosting its market share in both countries

� Growth expected to continue in Q4

� Measures taken in Q1 2008 to improve profitability have clearly contributed to

the result in Norway. In Denmark, the market situation is more challenging

and profitability is likely to improve at a slower rate

� In Denmark, the slowdown in construction and fragmented competition

complicate the market situation. As a result, Cramo has already reduced

personnel in Denmark and further reductions will be considered as required

� EBITA in Western Europe was at previous year’s level in Q3

� Cramo has concluded several outsourcing agreements in Denmark and

Norway within the last 12 months that are important with regard to the

development of long-term customer relationships.

� According to forecast* published in October, new residential and commercial

construction are expected to decline in 2009 in Norway. Renovation and civil

engineering are expected to grow in 2009

� In Denmark**, residential construction is expected to decrease markedly but

civil engineering will grow

Equipment rental – Central and Eastern Europe*(Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Czech Republic, Russia, Slovakia as of April 1)

� Strong sales growth in CEE continued at 44,4% in Q3 2008

� Good demand, together with organic and acquisitive growth actions

contributed to sales growth. For the full year, 50% growth target is unlikely

to be reached. Weakening currencies in the CEE have an impact on growth

� In Q1-Q3/2008, CEE sales excl. Estonia increased by 85 %; Central Europe

(Poland, Czech, Slovakia) grew by 98% and Russia by 225 %

� Profitability suffered from the levelling-off demand in the Baltics, tightening

competition and increasing cost levels

� Cost base has been adjusted in all the Baltic countries

� While strong expansion and more difficult market will affect the overall

profitability for 2008, good level of profitability still expected

� Rental markets in the Baltics have slowed down due to a decline in

construction. The outlook for housing construction has turned to a more

conservative direction also in Russia. While the outlook remains good in

Poland, the Czech and Slovakia, economic uncertainty has become visible

� Cramo is preparing for the weakening market situation by enhancing the

structure of its depot network, making adjustments in costs and the number of

personnel and increasing efforts to optimise the rental fleet between markets.

� The long-term outlook in rental business remains good in CEE

Modular space(Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark)

� Modular Space total sales were up by 10,8% in Q3 compared to 2007

� Rental operations accounted for more than 70 % of the sales

� EBITA was EUR 6,1 (4,9) million in Q3 2008, EBITA-% increased to 30,0 %

� Both utilisation rates and the order book value remained high. Order book

continued to strengthen further, particularly in Finland

� Cramo signed several new long-term rental agreements, the most significant

of which concerns day-care centres delivered to the city of Espoo

� The economic uncertainty is reflected in longer decision-making times for

new rental contracts

� Competition for the supply of modular space is increasing, but clear market

growth has kept price levels and profitability good

� As a result of reduced investments, production capacity will be downsized

� Statutory cooperation discussions initiated in modular space production

� Cramo aims to further increase the share of long-term rental agreements in

proportion to sales operations, bringing stability to the Group’s operations

� Postponed construction projects expected to show as positive demand for

modular space rental

Contingency plan actions going forwardAgility in action

• Due to the modern fleet, no need for new investments; limited need for maintenance capital expenditure

• Focus on the optimization of current fleet

– Internal transfer of equipment: improved processes, systems and organization

– External sale of used equipment: increased group-level coordination and support

– Improved internal fleet management processes: increased focus on utilizations, increased centralization (hub structure, repair & maintenance operations)

• Fixed cost adjustments to continue in order to focus on profitability

– Denmark, the Baltics, Modular space production

– Contingency plans and actions in place for addressing possible performance shortfalls in any Cramo market

• Improvements in financial flexibility

– Focus on cash flow and reduction of indebtedness

– New committed facilities negotiated to address further financing needs

• Tightened risk management activities

– Increased activity on collections and control of trade receivables

• However … not forgetting about investing in the right people and on furtherbuilding ”One Cramo”

Preparing for tomorrow gives Cramo a

unique opportunity

• Prompt adaptation to changes is key in the rental industry

and one of Cramo’s strengths; pro-activity and agility will

create tomorrow’s winner

• All-time high investments in recent years make Cramo

well prepared to meet present and near future demand

– Solid market positions achieved in all markets

• The aftermath of the financial crisis will likely give rise to

new opportunities (acquisitions, outsourcing etc.) at

attractive prices

• Positive long-term growth drivers of rental remain

unchanged

– Rental is usually preferred alternative when money is scarce

• Cramo is well-positioned in emerging markets

– In CEE there is still permanent pent-up demand for

construction

Future prospectsSummary outlook for the immediate future

� Economic uncertainty overall has increased since mid-September. The Group sees a negative development in construction volumes particularly in the Nordic region and the Baltic countries in 2009

� Cramo anticipates, however, that the impact on the demand for rental services will not be as severe as it is feared to be in construction in general

� Continued growth is also anticipated in the demand for modular space

� Cramo Group has embarked on an “investment holiday”for the balance of 2008 and total 2009 and, instead of investing in new equipment, will focus on optimising the use of existing fleet throughout the whole Group

� The Group reconfirms its sales growth guidance at above 18% and an EBITA above 18% of sales in 2008, in line with the Group’s financial targets. However, the risk level has increased

� In 2009, in a volatile environment, the Group expects to achieve a positive cash flow after investments and a lower gearing
