EUR 266.6 (260.9) million and an order book of EUR 64.9 (55.6) million at 
the end of September. The Cast Components business group had sales of 
EUR 234.2 (223.9) million and Other Business sales of 
EUR 32.4 (37.0) million. At the end of the review period, Cast Components

building industry grew 12% during the first nine months of the year.

industry 43% (46%), off-road 26% (25%), machine building 17% (15%), power
and transmission 12% (12%), and others 2% (2%).

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 10.7 (6.9) million and the result after financial items, excluding
one-time items, was EUR 3.8 (0.3) million. Cast Components had an
operating profit of EUR 10.3 (4.7) million and Other Business recorded an
operating profit, excluding one-time items, of EUR 0.4 (2.2) million.
Third quarter net sales totalled EUR 78.4 (72.4) million and the
operating loss, excluding one-time items, was EUR -1.2 (-1.6) million.

The Group's net financial costs amounted to EUR -6.9 (-6.6) million.

The consolidated result after financial items, excluding one-time items,
improved from the previous year mainly due to increased efficiency in the
operations of the Cast Components business group. The Karkkila foundry
and the Heerlen furan foundry have reduced their operating losses during
the current year but these continued to weaken Cast Components' operating 
profit. The price of scrap steel has remained high although price 
fluctuation has decreased. The price of electricity has risen rapidly 
during the current year. Product prices have been revised due to rising 
costs. The takeover of the foundries in the Netherlands and their 
integration into the Group's profit centre organization has taken place 
smoothly. Their operations have been stable and their financial performance 
during the review period has been positive.

The Group's operating profit, including one-time items, was 
EUR 10.7 (10.6) million, the result after financial items was 
EUR 3.8 (4.0) million and the net result was EUR 2.9 (5.3) million. 
The Group had no one-time items during the first three quarters of the 
year. The one-time items of EUR 3.7 million 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 2.6 million for adjustments and restructuring 
at De Globe and Åmål.

Income taxes were EUR -0.9 (+1.3) million. Taxes include taxes due on the
result for the review period.

Earnings per share were EUR 0.30 (0.58).

The return on investment was 8.0% (7.4%) and return on equity 7.3% (13.0%).


Financing

On 30 September 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 50 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 101.1 (110.5) million. Net gearing, including the capital
notes in shareholders' equity, was 113.8% (124.2%). 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 September 2006 the company had
sold sales receivables totalling EUR 31.1 (14.9) million.

The cash flow from operations during the review period was 
EUR 18.7 (12.0) million, and of this the change in net working capital 
was EUR 1.2 (4.4) million. The cash flow from investments was 
EUR -5.3 (-10.2) million.

The Group's equity ratio was 19.7% (19.0%) and the equity ratio,
including capital notes in shareholders' equity, was 32.5% (32.9%).


Performance of business groups

Componenta has simplified its organizational structure. As from the
beginning of September the Group's production units have been organized
in two business divisions - Foundries and Machine Shops - instead of the
previous three. Olli Karhunen has been appointed Director of the renewed
Foundries division. Kimmo Suupohja, who was Director of the old Foundries
division, has left Componenta.

Reporting in the company in 2006, however, continues to be based on the
former organizational structure. This was altered on 1 November 2005,
when the Group's production units were organized into three divisions -
Foundries, Machine Shops and Heavy Components. Together these form the
Cast Components business segment. Other Business still 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 - September of 
EUR 134.5 (128.2) million and an operating profit of EUR 5.5 (2.6) 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 nine months of the year of 
EUR -4.1 (-5.0) 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 third quarter net sales 
of EUR 39.7 (36.1) million and an operating loss of EUR -1.6 (-0.9) million. 
The operating loss increased from the previous year due to the unsatisfactory
financial performance at the Pietarsaari foundry.


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 - September of EUR 113.5 (102.9) million and an
operating profit of EUR 5.6 (3.9) million. The investments carried out in
2004 and 2005 increased the division's sales and improved the efficiency
of its operations. Third quarter net sales totalled 
EUR 34.0 (28.6) million and operating profit was EUR 0.9 (0.4) 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 - September of EUR 40.9 (35.2) million
and an operating result of EUR 0.2 (-1.9) 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 nine months of
the year of EUR -2.1 (-3.8) million. The programme to stabilize and
enhance operations at the unit is expected to continue to reduce the
Heerlen furan foundry's operating loss during the current year. The
division had third quarter net sales of EUR 12.1 (11.2) million and an
operating loss of EUR -0.2 (-1.1) million.


Other Business

Other Business had net sales in January - September of 
EUR 32.5 (37.0) million and an operating profit, excluding one-time items, 
of EUR 0.4 (2.2) million. Sales by the Wirsbo forges declined 13.3% 
from the previous year to EUR 31.3 million and the operating profit in 
the first nine 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 1.2 (1.8) million. Associated company Ulefos NV recorded 
net sales of EUR 28.4 (28.7) million and profit after financial items 
of EUR 2.8 (3.2) million. Other Business had third quarter net sales of 
EUR 8.4 (8.9) million and an operating loss excluding one-time items 
of EUR -0.2 (-0.1) million

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 - September 2006 remained
lower than during the corresponding period in the previous year. The
improved economic prospects in Europe have 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 machine
building industry has increased during the first nine months of the year.

Running in operationally the investments made in 2004 and 2005 at
Karkkila and Heerlen has continued during the review period. The

to achieve an operating profit at the Karkkila and Heerlen units, as
elsewhere, in 2007.
