Metso's Capital Markets Day 2011 and assessment of the development for 2012

Metso is hosting a Capital Markets Day today, November 22, in London, UK. The
event will feature management presentations covering areas such as Metso Group's
strategy, financial update including pro forma financials according to the new
segment structure, and strategy updates of the Mining and Construction,
Automation, and Pulp, Paper and Power segments.

The main message of the Capital Markets Day is that Metso is fit for the future
and aims to leverage its strong global position to drive profitable growth and
shareholder value.

Assessment of the development for 2012

Today Metso's management is publishing an assessment of Metso Group's
development for 2012 as follows:

Based on the assumption that our current relatively healthy demand from our
customer industries will not be materially weakened by the financial turmoil in
Europe or by any other similar development, we estimate that:

  * Our net sales for 2012 will increase compared to 2011
  * Our result (EBITA before non-recurring items) for 2012 will increase
    compared to  2011

Metso's Capital Markets Day will begin at 9:00 a.m. GMT. Presentation materials
will be published at www.metso.com/investors. The website will also feature an
on-demand webcast of the event later today.


Metso is a global supplier of sustainable technology and services for mining,
construction, power generation, automation, recycling and the pulp and paper
industries. We have about 29,000 employees in more than 50 countries.
