Result

Componenta's interim report has been prepared in accordance with international
financial reporting standards (IFRS). Componenta has prepared the interim report
applying the same accounting principles as in its 2005 Financial Statements. The
figures in the interim report are unaudited.

Componenta Group made an operating profit, excluding one-time items, of EUR 11.9
(8.5) million and the result after financial items, excluding one-time items, was
EUR 7.2 (4.2) million. Cast Components had an operating profit of EUR 11.3 (6.3)
million and Other Business recorded an operating profit, excluding one-time items,
of EUR 0.6 (2.3) million. Second quarter net sales totalled EUR 94.6 (95.3)
million and the operating profit, excluding one-time items, was EUR 6.6 (4.7)
million.

The Group's net financial costs amounted to EUR -4.7 (-4.3) million.

The consolidated result after financial items, excluding one-time items, improved
from the previous year mainly due to the increased efficiency in the operations of
the Cast Components business group. The operating losses at the Karkkila foundry
and the Heerlen furan foundry weakened Cast Components' operating profit. Steel
scrap prices started to pick up towards the end of the second quarter.

The Group's operating profit, including one-time items, was EUR 11.9 (12.5)
million, the result after financial items was EUR 7.2 (8.2) million and the net
result was EUR 5.3 (8.2) million. The Group had no one-time items during the first
half of the year (EUR 4.0 million). The one-time items in the corresponding period
in 2005 consisted mainly of profit of EUR 2.2 million from the sale of Keycast and
Profiz shares, the recognition as income of EUR 4.3 million in negative goodwill
in connection with the purchase of De Globe shares, and one time costs of EUR 2.4
million for adjustments and restructuring at De Globe and Åmål.

Income taxes were EUR -1.9 (-0.3) million. Taxes include taxes due on the result
for the review period.

Earnings per share were EUR 0.55 (0.85).

The return on investment was 12.9% (12.7%) and return on equity 20.5% (28.8%).


Financing

On 30 June 2006 Componenta Corporation had outstanding capital notes and
convertible bonds with a combined value of EUR 34.7 million, as defined in IFRS.
In March the Group repaid EUR 3.2 million, or 10%, of the principal of the old
preferred capital notes in accordance with the terms for the notes.

The Group had EUR 60.0 million in non-utilised long-term credit facilities at the
end of the review period. In addition, the Group has a EUR 60 million commercial
paper programme.  The Group's interest-bearing net debt, excluding the EUR 34.7
million in outstanding capital notes, totalled EUR 102.3 (109.8) million. Net
gearing, including the capital notes in shareholders' equity, was 114% (120%).
Componenta is making more effective 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 30 June 2006 the company had sold sales
receivables totalling EUR 30.2 (17.6) million.

The cash flow from operations during the review period was EUR 11.8 (5.7) million,
and of this the change in net working capital was EUR -7.4 (-4.2) million. The
cash flow from investments was EUR -3.1 (-5.9) million.

The Group's equity ratio was 20.5% (19.6%) and the equity ratio, including capital
notes in shareholders' equity, was 33.4% (33.2%).


Performance of business groups

The organizational structure of Componenta Group was altered on 1 November 2005
and the Group's production units were organized into three business divisions -
Foundries, Machine Shops and Heavy Components. Together these form the Cast
Components business segment. Other Business comprises the Wirsbo forges,
associated companies, the Group's support functions and service companies, and
divested business.


Foundries

The Foundries division contains the Group's foundries in Karkkila, Pori,
Pietarsaari and Weert as well as the HWS business unit at the Heerlen foundry. The
division had net sales in January - June of EUR 94.8 (92.1) million and an
operating profit of EUR 7.1 (3.5) million. The division's operating profit
improved from the previous year mainly due to raising efficiency in operations.
The Karkkila foundry recorded an operating loss in the first half of the year of
EUR -2.7 (-3.1) million. The programme to enhance operations underway at Karkkila
is expected to reduce the unit's operating loss in the current year from the
previous year. The division had second quarter net sales of EUR 48.9 (47.0)
million and an operating profit of EUR 3.8 (2.0) million.


Machine Shops

The Machine Shops division consists of the Främmestad, Åmål and Albin machine
shops in Sweden, the machine shops in Pori and Pietarsaari in Finland, and the
machine shop functions in the Netherlands. The division had net sales in January -
June of EUR 79.5 (74.3) million and an operating profit of EUR 4.6 (3.5) million.
The investments carried out in 2004 and 2005 increased the division's sales and
improved the efficiency of its operations. Second quarter net sales totalled EUR
39.2 (37.5) million and operating profit was EUR 2.0 (1.6) million.


Heavy Components

The Heavy Components division contains the Group's furan foundries in Iisalmi,
Finland and Heerlen, the Netherlands, and the machine shops Componenta Nisamo in
Lempäälä and Componenta Pistons in Pietarsaari. The division had net sales in
January - June of EUR 28.9 (24.1) million and an operating result of EUR 0.5
(-0.8) million. The operating result improved from the previous year mainly due to
the growth in sales and the improved efficiency in the operations of the Heerlen
furan foundry. The Heerlen furan foundry made an operating loss in the first half
of the year of EUR -1.2 (-2.2) million. The programme to stabilize and enhance
operations at the unit is expected to continue to reduce the unit's operating loss
during the current year. The division had second quarter net sales of EUR 15.0
(13.6) million and an operating profit of EUR 0.6 (0.1) million.


Other Business

Other Business had net sales in January - June of EUR 24.1 (28.2) million and an
operating profit, excluding one-time items, of EUR 0.6 (2.3) million. Sales by the
Wirsbo forges declined 16% from the previous year to EUR 23.2 million and the
operating profit in the first six months declined from the previous year mainly
due to the fall in sales. Componenta's share of the result of the associated
companies was EUR 0.8 (1.4) million. Associated company Ulefos NV recorded net
sales of EUR 18.7 (19.4) million and profit after financial items of EUR 2.0 (2.3)
million. Other Business had second quarter net sales of EUR 11.4 (13.6) million

(14.4) million, and finance lease investments accounted for EUR 0.8 (4.5) million

Componenta's Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on 8 February 2006 elected the
following to the Board of Directors: Heikki Bergholm, Heikki Lehtonen, Juhani
Mäkinen, Marjo Raitavuo and Matti Tikkakoski. The Board elected Heikki Bergholm as

The corporate executive team of Componenta Group is formed by President and CEO
Heikki Lehtonen; Olli Karhunen, Director, Heavy Components; CFO Matti Kivekäs (as
from 7 August 2006); Jari Leino, Director, Sales and Product Development; Anu
Mankki, Director, Human Resources; Marc Omes, Director, Sales and Product

Personnel

During the review period the Group had on average 2164 (2206) employees. At the
end of June 2006, 49% (47%) of the Group's personnel were in Finland, 26% (25%) in
the Netherlands and 25% (27%) in Sweden.


Prospects

Componenta's prospects in 2006 are based on general external financial indicators,
order forecasts given by customers, and on Componenta's order intake and order
book.

Demand for heavy truck components in January - June 2006 fell short of the
corresponding period in the previous year. The introduction of new environmental
standards in Europe on 1 October 2006 coupled with improved economic prospects has
increased demand for heavy trucks in Europe at least in the short term. Demand for
components from the off-road and power and transmission industries and from
machinery and equipment manufacturers increased during the first six months of the
year.

Running in the investments carried out in 2004 and 2005 at Karkkila and Heerlen
continues operationally during 2006. The goal is to reduce the operating losses at
these units during 2006 and to achieve an operating profit at the Karkkila and
Heerlen units, as elsewhere, in 2007.

Componenta's order book at the end of the second quarter of 2006 stood at the same
level as in the corresponding period in the previous year. Componenta's net sales
and result after financial items, excluding one-time items, for the third quarter
of 2006 are expected to improve on the corresponding period of the previous year.
