Lassila & Tikanoja's full-year net sales in 2017 are expected to be above the

Previously the company estimated the 2017 net sales to remain at the 2016 level
and operating profit to be below 2016 level. 

Lassila & Tikanoja raises its outlook due to better than estimated net sales of
services in general and particularly of the business acquired from Sweden and
of the renovation business.
