third
- Net sales rose 36 % to EUR 444.9 million (328.0)
- International operations accounted for EUR 107.2 million (68.9) of net sales

- Earnings per share were EUR -0.59 (-0.22)
- The equity ratio was 26.3 % (27.3) and gearing 140.5 % (147.8)
- The Company's order book at the end of the review period was EUR 1,644.2

GROWTH IN ALL BUSINESS SECTORS OF THE COMPANY
Lemminkäinen's Q1 net sales grew 36 % in the first quarter of the year. Net
sales were increased by the sustained level of active building construction in
Finland and especially in Russia. The volume of business grew in all business
sectors of the Company compared with last year. The Group's order book was 14
per cent higher than at the end of the first quarter last year.
Lemminkäinen's Q1 operating result was EUR -5.3 million (0.3). The loss stems
from the seasonal nature of the Group's business operations, especially asphalt
paving. In Norway and Denmark the paving season started later than usual this
year. Other operating income recognised in the first quarter was EUR 6.1 million
less than in the same period last year. Longer selling times of housing units
resulted in housing production margins being recognised as income later than
before.
The Company's result before taxes was EUR -11.6 million (-3.0). The result was
adversely impacted by higher financing costs due to factors such as increased
working capital, higher interest rates, and exchange rate changes.
FAVOURABLE OUTLOOK FOR 2008
In Finland the market for commercial, industrial and logistics construction is
still good. In Russia building construction continues to be brisk and the
outlook for Lemminkäinen is promising. The Company is actively involved in
Finnish industry's plant building projects around the world, most notably in
Poland, China and India.
In Finland Lemminkäinen's on-going transport infrastructure projects will ensure
a reasonably good order book for infrastructure construction in 2008 and 2009.
Demand for mineral aggregates and ready-mix concrete is particularly good. The
markets for rock engineering in Sweden and road construction in the Baltic
states continue to grow.
Demand for maintenance, servicing and repair of technical building and facility
systems is expected to remain brisk in Finland. The market for building
materials will continue to be good in the near future.
The Group's record-breaking order book and the better profit margin of its
content create the prerequisites for favourable business development in 2008.
THE CHAIRMAN OF LEMMINKÄINEN'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS PASSED AWAY
Lemminkäinen's long-serving Chairman of the Board of Directors and the Company's
biggest shareholder, Heikki Pentti, passed away on 19 April 2008 after a serious
illness. The Board of Directors of Lemminkäinen Corporation has held an
organisation meeting and elected Berndt Brunow, M.Sc. (Econ.) to serve as the
new Chairman.

INTERIM FINANCIAL REVIEW 1.1.-31.3.2008
OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
Finland
The Finnish economy is expected to grow by just under 3 per cent this year.
Higher housing prices, interest rates and energy prices will fuel the rate of
inflation.
According to an economic forecast published in April by the Confederation of
Finnish Construction Industries, the total volume of construction will grow 4
per cent this year, slowing to 1.5 per cent next year.
Demand for commercial and logistics construction will continue at a good level
in 2008, but office construction is expected to slow down somewhat. Industrial
construction is growing and the building works of some major industrial
projects, such as Finland's fifth nuclear power plant unit and the Talvivaara
nickel mine, will continue for a long time yet. Refurbishment contracting will
continue to grow steadily.
It is anticipated that 28,000 new housing starts will be made in Finland this
year, compared with about 30,500 in 2007. The selling times of housing units
have grown longer and the number of unsold completed units has risen.
The infrastructure construction market has remained reasonably good and
foundation engineering works in particular have been in sufficient demand. The
volume of rock engineering work is down on last year. Demand for mineral
aggregates and ready-mix concrete has been brisk.

of the Finnish Economy)
Relevant markets for Lemminkäinen abroad
In the other Nordic countries, with the exception of Denmark, economic growth is
expected to be slightly higher than the average growth rate for the euro zone.
Strong demand for rock engineering will continue in Sweden.
In the Baltic states, especially Estonia and Latvia, there will be a marked
slowdown in economic growth this year and in 2009. A pickup in the rate of
inflation will also weaken the outlook for the region. Plenty of new road
construction and upgrade projects will be launched with the support of foreign
funding.
The Russian economy is expected to grow robustly also this year. The country's
economic development will continue to be based on the growth of oil revenues and
consumption, However, investment has been growing quickly in recent years and
its importance as a economic driver has increased. Demand for construction
remains good in Russia.
Finnish industry has many on-going investment projects in China, India and
Eastern Europe. The construction of 3G networks continues in the United States
and Latin America, as does the deployment of second-generation GSM networks in
the developing countries.

LEMMINKÄINEN'S NEW STRUCTURE EFFECTIVE FROM 1.1.2008
Lemminkäinen Group was reorganised into four business sectors with effect from 1
January 2008. The business sectors are building construction, infrastructure
construction, technical building services and building materials.
Lemminkäinen's operations in the building construction and infrastructure
construction business sectors are the responsibility of two newly established
companies, Lemminkäinen Talo Oy and Lemminkäinen Infra Oy, respectively. The
comparative figures presented in this interim financial review for the building
construction and infrastructure business sectors are pro forma figures.
Tekmanni Oy is a provider of technical building services, technical facility
services and industrial services. The building products business sector,
Lemminkäinen Building Products, comprises the subsidiaries Lemminkäinen Katto Oy
(roofing), Lemminkäinen Betonituote Oy (concrete products) and Omni-Sica Oy
(sports construction).
More detailed information on Lemminkäinen's reorganisation is provided in the
Company's Annual Report 2007 and on its website.
GROUP NET SALES, EARNINGS AND BALANCE SHEET
The Q1 net sales of Lemminkäinen Group rose 36 % to EUR 444.9 million (328.0).
The Group generated 76 % (79) of its net sales in Finland, 10 % (12) in other
Nordic countries, 5 % (1) in Russia, 4 % (3) in Eastern Europe and the Baltic
states, and 5 % (5) in other countries.

EUR -11.6 million (-3.0). The result for the accounting period was EUR -9.4
million (-1,8), of which EUR -10.0 million (-3.7) was attributable to
shareholders of the parent company. Earnings per share were EUR -0.59 (-0.22).

1) pro forma
The Company's cash funds at the end of the review period were EUR 93.8 million
(55.8) and the net interest-bearing debt EUR 386.9 million (348.1). The equity
ratio was 26.3 % (27.3) and gearing 140.5 % (147.8).
The Group's order book grew 14 % and at the end of the review period was EUR
1,644.2 million (1,439.7). The market breakdown of the order book was Finland 74
% (75), other Nordic countries 13 % (13), Russia 6 % (4), Eastern Europe and the
Baltic states 5 % (5), and other countries 2 % (3).
BUSINESS SECTORS
BUILDING CONSTRUCTION
The Q1 net sales of the building construction business sector rose 44 % to EUR
276.6 million (192,0)1), of which international operations accounted for 24 %
(19)1). The business sector generated 76 % of its net sales in Finland, 5 % in
other Nordic countries, 7 % in Russia, 5 % in North and South America, and 7 %
in other countries. The growth in net sales was primarily due to active
commercial and office construction in Helsinki metropolitan area and Lemcon
Ltd's building construction operations in Russia.
The business sector's Q1 operating profit was EUR 10.1 million (14.6)1). The
difference compared with Q1 last year stems mainly from the timing of income
recognition, resulting in less other operating income being booked in the first
quarter this year. Longer selling times of housing units resulted in housing
production margins being recognised as income later than before.
The order book grew 13 % and at the end of the review period was EUR 960.0
million (849.8)1). The share of international operations in the order book grew
46 % to EUR 185.1 (127,0)1).
1)pro forma
Operations in Finland
Lemminkäinen made 186 (184) new private-sector housing starts in Finland during
the review period. The Company expects to make starts on approx. 700 new housing
units in Finland this year, compared with 852 units in 2007.
The market for commercial, industrial and logistics construction is still good,
but demand for office construction has fallen off slightly. The interest of real
estate investors in Finnish investment properties remains healthy, but the
requirements for investment returns have risen somewhat. The shortage of
professionally skilled labour continues, but there are local variations.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the end of the review period Lemminkäinen owned a total of 751,000 m2 of
unused building rights in Finland, of which about 374,000 m2 were residential
building rights. The Company also has conditional co-operation and zoning
agreements for a further 673,000 m2, of which about 216 000 m2 are residential
building rights. Market conditions permitting, the Company has the possibility
to increase its housing production in Finland thanks to the good stock of
building plots. At the present rate of production the company owns enough unused
building rights to meet its needs for over four years.
International operations
Lemminkäinen is starting to construct a 135-hectare industrial park in the
province of Kaluga, Russia. In St. Petersburg the Company is building over 600
housing units. The brand of Lemminkäinen's Russian housing sales is Dom Lemcon.
The outlook for the Company in Russia over the next few years is promising, and
especially in the St. Petersburg area the demand for housing will continue to be
good. The possibility of expanding housing construction to Central Russia is
being investigated.
Lemminkäinen is actively involved in Finnish industry's plant building projects
around the world. Project export opportunities are expected to remain good in
Poland, China and India. Growth in the construction of 2G and 3G telecom
networks is expected to continue.
Legal proceedings arising from IKEA's termination of the construction contract
for the MEGA shopping centre in St. Petersburg are now underway in the court of
arbitration in Stockholm.

INFRASTRUCTURE CONSTRUCTION
The Q1 net sales of the infrastructure construction business sector grew 17 % to
EUR 95.5 million (81.4)1), of which international operations accounted for 40 %
(36)1). The business sector generated 60 % of its net sales in Finland, 31 % in
other Nordic countries, 8 % in the Baltic states and 1 % in other countries. The
growth in net sales was primarily due to brisk demand for mineral aggregates and
ready-mix concrete in Finland.
The business sector's Q1 operating result was EUR -14.7 million (-12.6)1). The
loss is customary and stems from the seasonal nature of business operations. The
order book grew 13 % and at the end of the review period was EUR 524.7 million
(463.1)1), of which international operations accounted for EUR 238.3 million
(221.0)1).
1)pro forma
Operations in Finland
Like last year the paving season began earlier than usual due to the mild
winter. The total volume of paving work in Finland will remain at last years´
level in 2008, and competition in the paving industry will continue to be
fierce. Asphalt production costs have risen in the first quarter as a
consequence of higher raw material costs.
In transport infrastructure construction new major projects are in the planning
stage, but a number of them will not start up until 2010. Lemminkäinen's
on-going transport infrastructure projects will however ensure that the Company
has a reasonable stock of orders this year and in 2009. The foundation
engineering market has remained good and plenty of stabilisation contracts are
on offer.
Demand for mineral aggregates and ready-mix concrete has remained brisk
throughout the first quarter. A shortage of stone crushing capacity is even
expected to occur in places during the spring and summer.
International operations
In Norway and Denmark the paving season started slightly later than usual. The
international order book as a whole is good and the outlook for the remainder of
the year is favourable.
In Denmark and Estonia the total volume of paving work will either remain
unchanged or fall slightly in 2008. In Norway, Lithuania and Latvia it will
rise. In the Baltic states the development of the road network will continue
with the support of EU funding.
The Estonian Road Administration chose Lemminkäinen Infra Oy's subsidiary AS
Talter as Estonia's best road construction company of 2007.
In Sweden Lemminkäinen has two large tunnels under construction. The Swedish
rock engineering market will continue to be active this year.
TECHNICAL BUILDING SERVICES
The Q1 net sales of the technical building services business sector rose 22.3 %
to EUR 56.5 million (46.2). Business volume grew in all areas of the business
sector.
The Q1 operating profit rose significantly to EUR 2.2 million (1.3) and the
profit before taxes was EUR 2.7 million (1.6). The order book grew by almost a
third to EUR 116.2 million (88.9).
Brisk commercial and office construction has sustained demand for technical
building services at a good level, but the market is expected to cool off
slightly towards the end of the year.
The market for maintenance, servicing and repair work has remained stable.
Demand is also growing in Russia, where Tekmanni Service Oy set up operations in
2007.
BUILDING PRODUCTS
The Q1 net sales of Lemminkäinen Building Products grew 35 % to EUR 25.0 million
(18.5). The business sector generated 8 % (8) of its net sales abroad, mainly in
other Nordic countries and Eastern Europe.
The Q1 operating result was EUR -1.5 EUR million (-1.3) and the result before
taxes EUR -1.6 million (-1.4). The loss is customary and stems from the seasonal
nature of business operations. The order book grew and at the end of the
accounting period was EUR 43.4 million (37.9).
Demand for roofing contracting has continued to be good and urban environment
construction active. The roofing and yard contracting season has started earlier
than usual thanks to the mild winter and early spring.
The order book for the building products business sector is still at a good
level. The slowdown of office and housing construction may weaken demand for
some of the business sector's products and services towards the end of the year.
GROUP'S ORDER BOOK
Lemminkäinen's order book rose 14 % compared the end of Q1 last year. The market
breakdown of the order book was Finland 74 % (75), other Nordic countries 13 %
(13), Russia 6 % (4), the Baltic states and Eastern Europe 5 % (5), and other
countries 2 % (3).

Significant orders received during the review period
Lemminkäinen is constructing a production plant for Nokia Siemens Networks Oy in
Chennai, India. The total floor area of the plant is 33,700 m2.
Significant orders received after the review period
Lemminkäinen has signed an agreement concerning the technical building works for
Nokian Tyres Plc's plant expansion in Vsevolozhsk. The total floor area of the
plant expansion is 29,000 m².
Lemminkäinen has made a service agreement with the Estonian Road Administration
whereby the company assumes responsibility for the summer and winter maintenance
of the road network in Ida-Viru County for a period of 8 years.
In Russia Lemminkäinen has received a Remix road resurfacing contract for a
section of the M-18 highway leaving the city of Murmansk. The road section is
150 km long and the work will be carried out during the summer by personnel and
equipment normally based in Finland.
FINANCING
According to the cash flow statement, the cash flow from operating activities
was EUR -62.3 million (-24.2), the cash flow from investing activities EUR -9.4
million (-12.6) and the cash flow from financing activities EUR 87.6 million
(32.0). The cash flow for the review period includes dividends totalling EUR
32.4 million (27.0) for 2007.
Interest-bearing liabilities at the end of the review period were EUR 480.7
million (403.9) and liquid funds were EUR 93.8 million (55.8). Interest-bearing
net debt was EUR 386.9 million (348.1).
Net financing expenses were EUR 6.1 million (3.2), representing 1.4 % (1.0) of
net sales. The equity ratio was 26.3 % (27.3) and gearing 140.5 % (147.8).
The rise in financing costs was due to increased working capital, higher
interest rates, exchange rate changes and hedges, and changes in the fair value
of derivative contracts.
LEMMINKÄINEN'S SHARE
The listed price of Lemminkäinen Corporation's share was EUR 31.50 (36.10) at
the beginning and EUR 35.09 (45.50) at the end of the review period. The market
capitalisation at the end of the review period was EUR 597.3 million (774.5).
Altogether 1,660,041 (2 024 914) shares worth EUR 51.1 million (83.9) were
traded in the first quarter of the year. At the end of the review period the
Company had 4,218 (3,353) shareholders.
INVESTMENTS
Investments in the accounting period amounted to EUR 15.2 million (21.9). The
investments were mainly purchases of paving, crushing and excavation equipment,
production plant for building materials, and building construction equipment.
PERSONNEL
The average number of employees in the Group over the review period was 8,753
(7,875). Approx. 72 % (72) of the employees were working in Finland, 10 % (10)
in other Nordic countries, 11 % (11) in the Baltic states, and 7 % (7) in other
countries.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND DECISIONS OF THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
Lemminkäinen Corporation's Annual General Meeting held on 14 March 2008 adopted
the Company's final accounts and consolidated financial statements for 2007 and
granted the Managing Director and the members of the Board of Directors
discharge from liability. The Annual General Meeting decided in accordance with
the Board of Directors' proposal to pay a dividend of EUR 1.80 per share, i.e. a
total dividend pay-out of EUR 30,638,250.00. The dividend's record date was 19
March 2008 and the payment date was 28 March 2008.
Messrs. Berndt Brunow, Heikki Pentti, Teppo Taberman, Sakari Tamminen and Ms.
Kristiina Pentti were re-elected to serve as members of the Board of Directors.
Mr. Juhani Mäkinen, Counsellor of Law, attorney, was newly elected to serve as a
Board member. PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy, a firm of authorised public
accountants, was re-elected to serve as the Company's auditor, with Jan
Holmberg, APA acting as the chief auditor.
Heikki Pentti, long-serving Chairman of Lemminkäinen Corporation's Board of
Directors and the Company's biggest shareholder, passed away on 19 April 2008
after a serious illness. Heikki Pentti was a Director of the Company for 39
years. He served as the Company's Managing Director in the years 1983-1993 and
as the Chairman of the Board of Directors from 1994 onwards.
Lemminkäinen Corporation's Board of Director held an organisation meeting after
the death of Heikki Pentti. Berndt Brunow was elected to serve as the Chairman
of the Board, and Juhani Mäkinen as the Vice Chairman. The Board of Directors
will work as a five-member body until the next Annual General Meeting is held in
spring 2009.
The Board of Directors has on 22 April 2008 decided that Lemminkäinen
Corporation will make a donation of EUR 100 000 to the Finnish Cancer
Foundation.
MARKET COURT'S DECISION IN THE ASPHALT INDUSTRY CARTEL CASE
In December 2007 the Market Court ordered seven asphalt industry companies to
pay a total of EUR 19.4 million in infringement fines for contravention of
competition law. The infringement fine imposed on Lemminkäinen was EUR 14
million. The amount proposed by the Finnish Competition Authority was EUR 68
million.
In addition to Lemminkäinen, the Finnish Competition Authority and some asphalt
industry companies have appealed the decision to the Supreme Administrative
Court. Irrespective of the future of the proceedings, the competition
infringement fine of EUR 14 million imposed on Lemminkäinen by the Market Court
was recognised as an expense in the fourth quarter of 2007. Since the decision
has been appealed, the total amount of the fine may change. (Bulletins
19.12.2007).
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES OF THE NEAR FUTURE
The most significant risk for Lemminkäinen in the near future is market risk.
International financial market turbulence may extend to Finland and reflect on
housing demand and other investments.
The starting point for Lemminkäinen's strategy is to direct operations to
business sectors that differ from one another in their business cycle
behaviours. Fluctuations in the demand for new construction in Finland are
balanced by international business operations as well as by building repair and
maintenance work. The Group's building repair and maintenance operations account
for approximately 40% of its business.
During the review period Lemminkäinen's management did not identify any new
risks or uncertainties that, if realised, would have a significant bearing on
the Group's business. The Company's Annual Report and its website provide more
information on Lemminkäinen's risk management.
THE ENVIRONMENT
Lemminkäinen's values include environmentally responsible construction.
Lemminkäinen Group takes into account life-cycle and environmental perspectives
when developing its operations, products and services. Environmental issues and
the environmental effects of the Group's operations are continuously managed by
means internal monitoring and control programs. The Company's Annual Report and
its website provide more information on Lemminkäinen's environmental issues.
FAVOURABLE OUTLOOK FOR 2008
The Group's record-breaking order book and the better profit margin of its
content create the prerequisites for the favourable business development in
2008.

TABULATED SECTION OF THE INTERIM FINANCIAL REVIEW
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
The same IFRS accounting and measurement principles as those applied in the
annual financial statements for 2007 have been observed in the preparation of
this interim financial review with the below-mentioned changes. As the tabulated
section is presented in an abbreviated format, not all of the requirements of
IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting have been observed in the preparation of this
review.
Changes in the accounting principles with effect from 1 January 2008:
- IFRIC 11 with regard to the application of IFRS 2 to share-based payment
transactions
- IFRIC 12 Service Concession Arrangements
- IFRIC 14, IAS 19 The Limit on a
Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interaction
