Outlook for 2016
3/16/2016 20

21. Our purpose is to make nonwovens continuously better for people.
The first months of 2016
• Some customers postponed their orders in the last quarter of
2015 until after the turn of the year. We have received these
postponed orders.
• However, during the first months of the year, the demand has
not been at last year’s level.
• We anticipate the change in demand to be temporary,
deriving from the new manufacturing capacity just recently
launched in Europe and North America, our main market
areas.
• In longer term, the demand forecasts have not changed.
Suominen anticipates its target markets to grow annually by
some 2–9%, depending on the product segment and
geographical region.

22. Our purpose is to make nonwovens continuously better for people.
Outlook for FY2016 remains unchanged
• Suominen expects that for the full year 2016, its net sales
and operating profit excluding non-recurring items will
improve from year 2015.
• In 2015, Suominen’s net sales amounted to EUR 444.0
million and operating profit excluding non-recurring items
to EUR 31.2 million.
