JANUARY - JUNE 2014 HIGHLIGHTS
Figures in brackets, unless otherwise stated, refer to the same period of the previous year.
 
- On 2 June 2014, Pöyry closed the divestment in Finland that included significant parts of Pöyry's real estate design and consulting business as well as construction management business for real estate and infrastructure.
- The Group's order stock totalled EUR 482.4 (555.7) million. It increased in the Industry Business Group but contracted in all other Business Lines. Excluding the divestment in Finland in June, comparable order stock increased from EUR 461.4 at the end of the previous year. Comparable order stock on 30 June 2013 was EUR 512.5 million.
- Net sales declined to EUR 303.5 (336.5) million mostly due to the performance in the Regional Operations.
- Operating profit decreased to EUR -4.7 (5.0) million. Operating profit was burdened by lower than expected net sales as well as EUR -5.4 million of project losses and other one-time items recognised mainly in the Regional Operations. Operating profit includes a one-time gain of EUR 19 million from the divestment in Finland as well as EUR -14 million loss resulting from the write-off of the receivables from Venezuela. Operating profit increased in the Management Consulting Business Group, however it declined in all other Business Lines and mostly in the Regional Operations except for the Northern European region.
