million.

The Machine shops and Foundries divisions had a combined order book at
the end of the review period of EUR 74.0 (58.1) million. Showing the
order books for the divisions separately is not justified due to the
nature of Componenta’s supply chain.

19.7% to EUR 141.7 (118.4) million. The Turkey division had an order
book at the end of the review period of EUR 48.1 (35.7) million.

Componenta’s net sales by customer sector were as follows: off-road 35%
(36%), heavy truck industry 30% (27%), automotive 14% (16%), diesel and
wind 6% (6%), machine building 14% (14%) and others 1% (1%).


Result


The interim report has been prepared in accordance with international
financial reporting standards (IFRS). Componenta has prepared the report
applying the same accounting principles as in its 2007 Financial
Statements. The figures in the interim report are unaudited.

The Group’s operating profit in the review period excluding one-time
items was EUR 46.2 (22.9) million. The operating profits of all the
divisions improved significantly from the previous year. Other operating
income includes exchange rate differences on sales and purchases.

The Group’s net financial costs in the review period totalled
EUR -12.7 (-8.8) million. The EUR 3.9 million increase in net financial
costs from the previous year was mainly due to exchange rate differences
on loans.

The consolidated result after financial items, excluding one-time items,
was EUR 33.5 (14.0) million. The Group recognized a one-time income of
EUR 0.045 million for the period from the sale of shares in Ekokem Oy.

Income taxes, calculated from the net result for the period, totalled
EUR -8.5 (-1.5) million.

The net result for the period, excluding one-time items, was
EUR 25.1 (10.7) million and the corresponding figure including
one-time items EUR 25.1 (25.4) million.

The basic earnings per share, excluding one-time items, were
EUR 2.20 (0.94) and the corresponding figure including one-time items
was EUR 2.20 (2.36).

The return on investment, excluding one-time items, was 25.7% (12.4%)
and return on equity, excluding one-time items, 51.7% (22.2%).


Financing

On 30 June 2008 Componenta Corporation had outstanding capital notes and
convertible notes with a combined value of EUR 52.6 million, as defined
in IFRS. In March the Group repaid EUR 3.2 million, or 10%, of the
principal of the preferred capital notes issued in 2002, in accordance
with the terms of the notes. During the review period, 6 of Componenta’s
convertible capital notes were converted into shares. As a result, the
number of Componenta shares increased by 1,200 and the shareholders’
equity rose by EUR 10,800. At the end of the review period the
outstanding unconverted capital notes and convertible notes entitled
holders to subscribe to 3,167,000 shares.

At the end of the review period, Componenta had EUR 98.2 million in
unused, long-term credit facilities. In addition, the Group has a EUR
150.0 million commercial paper programme. The Group’s interest-bearing
net debt, excluding the outstanding capital notes of EUR 52.6 million,
stood at EUR 186.0 (213.9) million. The company’s net debt as a
proportion of shareholders’ equity, including the capital notes in
shareholders’ equity, was 116.7% (139.2%).

Componenta is making more efficient use of capital with a programme to
sell its sales receivables. Under this arrangement, some of the sales
receivables are sold without any right of recourse. By the end of the
period the company had sold sales receivable totalling
EUR 59.7 (33.5) million.

Componenta’s net cash flow from operations during the review period was
EUR 26.0 (6.1) million, and of this the change in net working capital
was EUR -16.9 (-16.0) million. The cash flow from investment was EUR -
18.1 (-27.4) million.

At the end of the review period the Group’s equity ratio was 21.3%
(19.7%). The Group’s shareholders’ equity on 30 June 2008, including the
capital notes in shareholders’ equity, as a proportion of the balance
sheet total was 31.8% (30.7%).


Performance of business divisions


Componenta amended its reporting structure on 1 January 2008, when
Componenta Pistons was transferred from Other business to the Machine
shop division and the Orhangazi machine shop operations were transferred
from the Turkey division, also to the Machine shop division. All figures
for comparison for the divisions for 2007 have been adjusted to bring
them in line with the new reporting structure.


Foundries


The Foundries division had net sales in the January - June period of EUR
159.2 (125.1) million and an operating profit of EUR 21.3 million, 13.4%
of net sales (EUR 11.3 million, 9.0%). Increased volumes and greater
efficiency in its operations made a positive contribution to the
division’s operating profit. In consequence of the sharp increases in
raw material prices, in the review period Componenta introduced a new
price compensation system, which will mean that the impact of changes in
raw material prices is updated timely on a monthly basis instead of the
previous quarterly adjustments.

In the second quarter the division had sales of EUR 86.1 (62.0) million
and an operating profit of EUR 12.4 (6.1) million.



Machine shops


The Machine shops division had net sales in the first six months of 2008
of EUR 104.8 (91.5) million and an operating profit of EUR 4.7 million,
or 4.5% of net sales (EUR 3.5 million, 3.8%).

The division had net sales in the second quarter of EUR 54.3 (45.5)
million and an operating profit of EUR 2.7 (1.7) million.


Turkey


The Turkey division had net sales in the review period of
EUR 141.7 (118.4) million and an operating profit of
EUR 20.0 million, 14.1% of net sales (EUR 8.0 million, 6.8%).
The main factors that improved the division’s financial performance
in the period were increasing volumes, higher efficiency in its business
operations and the weakening of the Turkish lira against the euro.
During the review period the same price compensation system as in the
Foundries division was taken into use also in Turkey.

The Turkey division had net sales in the second quarter of
EUR 71.1 (58.6) million and an operating profit of
EUR 7.0 (2.8) million.

In the review period Orhangazi had net sales of EUR 103.9 (82.4) million
and operating profit of EUR 14.4 (6.0) million. Manisa’s net sales in
the review period was EUR 40.6 (39.3) million and operating profit EUR
6.1 (2.2) million.



Other business


Other business comprises the Componenta Wirsbo forges in Sweden, the
sales and logistics company in the UK, real estate companies and the
Group’s administrative functions. Other business had an operating profit
excluding one-time items of EUR2.0 (1.3) million in the January - June
period.

Other business had a second quarter operating profit excluding one-time
items of EUR 1.2 (0.0) million.



Shares and share capital


The shares of Componenta Corporation are quoted on the OMX Nordic
Exchange in Helsinki. At the end of the review period the company had a
total of 10,943,698 shares. At the end of the review period the
company’s share capital stood at EUR 21.9 (21.7) million. On 30 June
2008 the quoted price of Componenta Corporation shares stood at
EUR 8.50 (13.36). The average price during the review period was
EUR 8.20, the lowest quoted price was EUR 6.12 and the highest
EUR 10.42. At the end of the review period the share capital had
a market capitalization of EUR 93.0 (145.1) million and the volume
of shares traded during the period was equivalent to 16.2% (27.5%)
of the share stock.


Share-based incentive system


The share-based incentive scheme is based on the decision taken on
3 April 2007 by the Board of Directors of Componenta Corporation. The
scheme comprises three one-year earnings periods, which are the
calendar years 2007, 2008 and 2009. The bonuses will be paid in 2008,
2009 and 2010 partly in company shares and partly in cash. The part to
be paid in cash will cover the tax and similar charges arising from
the bonus. There is a ban on selling the shares for two years after
the end of the earnings period.


Any yield from the incentive scheme is based on the Group’s profit
after financial items and the Group’s return on investment. At the end
of the review period the target group contained 39 people. If the
targets set for the scheme are met in full, the scheme will pay a
bonus of a maximum of 180,000 Componenta Corporation shares. For
2008 a maximum of 70,000 Componenta Corporation shares will be allocated in
the scheme. The President and CEO will account for a maximum of
18,000 out of the total figure and other key personnel for altogether a
maximum of 52,000 shares. The scheme had an impact before taxes on the
result at the end of the review period of EUR 0.3 million.


Purchasing and disposing of company shares


Under the authorization of the AGM held on 25 February 2008, the Board
of Directors may decide to purchase a maximum of 1,000,000 of the
Company’s own shares using the Company’s unrestricted shareholders’
equity.

The shares shall be purchased in public trading, for which reason they
will be purchased other than in proportion to the holdings of
shareholders. The purchase price shall be based on the market price for
Componenta shares in public trading. The shares shall be purchased on
the OMX Nordic Exchange in Helsinki and in accordance with its rules and
regulations.

The Board of Directors may not implement the authorization to purchase
the Company’s own shares if after the purchase the Company or its
subsidiary would possess or hold in pledge altogether more than 10 per
cent of all the Company’s shares. The authorization does not exclude the
right of the Board of Directors to decide on a direct purchase of
shares.


The Board holds an authorization granted by the AGM on 26 February
2007 to decide to issue shares and grant option rights and other
special rights with an entitlement to shares under the following terms
and conditions:


1.Under the authorization the Board may decide to issue shares and
grant option rights and other special rights as defined in chapter 10,
section 1 of the Finnish Companies Act, such that a maximum of
2,000,000 shares are issued under the authorization. The authorization
does not exclude the right of the Board of Directors to decide on a
direct issue of shares.



2.The authorization is valid for a period of five years from the
date of the decision of the AGM.


The Board of Directors has to date not exercised either of these
authorizations.



Investments


Componenta’s investments in production facilities during the review
period totalled EUR 19.6 (10.4) million, and finance lease investments
accounted for EUR 1.3 (0.1) million of these. The net cash flow from
investments was EUR -18.1 (-27.4) million. The figure includes
EUR 0.4 million used during the review period to purchase shares of
Componenta Dökümcülük Ticaret Ve Sanayi A.S. on the Istanbul Stock Exchange.
Componenta now owns 93.1% of the shares of Componenta Dökümcülük Ticaret
Ve Sanayi A.S.


Board of Directors and Management


Componenta’s Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on 25 February
2008 elected the following to the Board of Directors: Heikki Bergholm,
Heikki Lehtonen, Juhani Mäkinen, Marjo Raitavuo and Matti Tikkakoski.
The Board held its organization meeting after the AGM and elected
Heikki Bergholm as its Chairman and Juhani Mäkinen as its Vice
Chairman.


At the end of the review period the corporate executive team of
Componenta Corporation comprised the following: President and CEO Heikki
Lehtonen; Yaylalý Günay, Senior Vice President, Investments; Hakan
Göral, Senior Vice President, Turkey division , CFO Mika Hassinen; Olli
Karhunen, Senior Vice President, Foundries division; Timo Laitinen,
Senior Vice President, Sales and Product development; Jari Leino, Sales
Director, Heavy Trucks; Anu Mankki, Senior Vice President, Human
Resources; Tapio Rantala, Director, Business Development; Michael
Sjöberg, Senior Vice President, Machine shops division, and
Communications Director Pirjo Aarniovuori.


Personnel


The number of Group personnel at the end of the review period was
5,330 (5,037), including 1,011 (823) contract employees. At the end of June
2008, 48% (50%) of the Group’s personnel were in Turkey, 23% (23%) in
Finland, 19% (16%) in the Netherlands and 10% (10%) in Sweden.



Risks


Fluctuations in the prices of Componenta Group’s main raw material,
recycled metal, affect the sales margins on the Group’s products.
Increases in raw material prices are passed on to the products supplied
to customers after a certain delay, so price increases in recycled metal
reduce the sales margin temporarily. When prices of recycled metal go
down, the Group’s margins improve for a while.

The electricity consumption of the Group’s foundries and machine shops
creates a spot price risk for the purchased electricity, so the Group
purchases electricity price forwards to hedge against the impact of
electricity prices on the financial performance. The target hedging
level for the forecast electricity consumption by the Group’s production
plants is 90% for the next 12 months, 60% for the following year and
40% for the third year. Trading in electricity price forwards has been
outsourced. The Group aims to pass on the increase in the price of
electricity to customers with a separate electricity surcharge.

Appropriate insurance has been taken against risks associated with
assets and interruption of operations and to minimize indemnity.

The financial risks relating to Componenta Group’s business operations
are managed in accordance with the treasury policy approved by the Board
of Directors. The objective is to protect the Group against unfavourable
changes in the financial markets and to secure the Group’s financial
performance and financial position. Management of financial risks takes
place in the corporate treasury function.


Translation of Componenta Turkey’s equity into euros raises a
significant translation risk in Turkish lira. Changes in the value of
US dollar, GB pound and euro in relation to Turkish lira have an impact
on Componenta’s operating profit and result after financial items on short-term.

During the review period, Componenta’s Board of Directors approved
the revised Group treasury policy. According to the policy, transaction
exposure is divided into separate currency denominated balance sheet items
according to whether the foreign exchange rate differences are recognized
in operating profit or on financial income and expenses. The hedging level of
the transaction exposures must lie between 95 and 100 percent. Changes in the
value of the Group’s equity due to the translation of subsidiaries’ foreign
currency denominated equity into euros are hedged at 0-100%. Componenta will
adjust its operations accordingly by the end of September 2008.


The Group has no significant concentration of risk for receivables. The
Group recognized no major credit losses in the review period.

The company’s financial agreements contain normal clauses according to
which the company’s loans may fall due for payment before the maturity
date if control of the company changes in consequence of a public
purchase offer. The company is not party to any other significant
contracts that will come into force, that can be amended or that can
cease to be valid if control of the company changes in consequence of a
public purchase offer.


Prospects


Componenta’s prospects for the remainder of 2008 are based on general
external financial indicators, order forecasts given by customers, and
on Componenta’s order intake and order book.

The demand outlook in most of the Group’s customer sectors is good at
the beginning of the third quarter of 2008. The slowdown in construction
in the USA and Europe has reduced demand in the off-road sector, but on
the other hand the high prices of raw materials and food are keeping
demand high for mining machinery and tractors. The prospects for the
heavy truck industry are encouraging for the remainder of the year. The
high price of oil and rising inflation, coupled with increasing
uncertainty, are reducing demand in the automotive industry in Europe.
Weaker demand has so far not affected demand for Componenta’s products.
Demand prospects in the diesel and wind sectors and the machine building
industry remain good. Componenta’s order book at the end of the second
quarter of 2008 stood 29% higher than at the same time in the previous
year, at EUR 138.0 (106.9) million.

Componenta Group’s 2008 net sales and the result after financial items,
excluding one-time items, are expected to increase considerably on the
corresponding figures for 2007.
