OPERATING ENVIRONMENT



Ramirent is a Company focused on construction machinery and

equipment rentals, operating in the Nordic, Eastern and Central

European markets. The Group is headquartered in Helsinki and

has 288 (270) permanent outlets in twelve countries.



Construction volumes grew, according to the Company’s estimate, in

the Nordic region by some 6%, whilst growth rates were

considerably higher in the Eastern and Central European countries.



According to the Company’s estimate, the machinery rental markets

in 2006 grew faster than the construction markets in all Nordic

countries. In addition, the market has continued to grow strongly

in the Eastern and Central European countries in which Ramirent

operates, i.e. Russia, the Baltic States, Poland, Hungary,

Ukraine, and the Czech Republic.



Based on the growth rates the Group realized in 2006, Ramirent

estimates the Company last year reinforced market positions in all

the major countries the Group covers.



GROUP NET SALES AND PROFIT



Favourable weather and market conditions continued during the

fourth quarter in all of Ramirent’s markets. Net sales increased

by 29.4% to EUR 146.2 (113.0) million due to heavy investments in

new capacity this year and due to high utilization levels in all

segments. The growth was strongest in Ramirent Europe and Finland

where the net sales during the fourth quarter increased by 67.4%

in Ramirent Europe and 27,8% in Finland. The operating profit also

improved significantly by 93.5% to EUR 32.5 (16.8) million, due to

increased net sales and continuous control of costs. The profit

growth was strongest in Ramirent Europe and in Sweden.



The Group’s net sales for the full-year 2006 increased by 28.0% to

EUR 497.9 (389.0) million, of which Finland accounted for EUR

102.7 (84.8) million, Sweden for EUR 130.9 (105.1) million, Norway

for EUR 120.3 (100.8) million, Denmark for EUR 50.0 (42.7)

million, and Ramirent Europe for EUR 96.4 (56.4) million. The

majority of the growth is organic.



The Group’s operating profit (EBIT) for the year under review was

EUR 110.3 (56.0) million, of which Finland accounted for EUR 25.7

(18.1) million, Sweden for EUR 27.9 (including a non-recurring

gain of EUR 5.4 million from divestment of properties in the first

quarter) (9.2) million, Norway for EUR 27.2 (15.7) million,

Denmark for EUR 7.3 (4.2) million, and Ramirent Europe for EUR

26.2 (11.8) million. The Group’s operating margin improved further

to 22.2% (14.4%).



The Group’s profit before taxes for the review period was EUR

102.9 (48.7) million. The net profit for the year was EUR 79.2

(35.5) million. The increase in the Company’s profits compared to

the previous year was mainly due to the growth in net sales, high

capacity utilization and good control of fixed costs.

Additionally, the profit includes the tax-free profit realized

from the divestment of properties in Sweden in the first quarter,

amounting to EUR 5.4 million. The return on invested capital is

28.1% (17.2%) and the return on equity was 34.3% (19.6%).



CAPITAL EXPENDITURE AND DEPRECIATION



Group companies’ gross capital expenditure on non-current assets

totalled EUR 176.5 (112.6) million, of which EUR 165.4 million was

attributable to investments in machinery and equipment. The

significant increase in capital expenditures reflects the Group’s

goal to expand the rental fleet capacity to meet customer demands

and to develop the product range and outlet network to serve

customers better.



The total depreciation of non-current assets during the year under

review amounted to EUR 61.2 (51.2) million, of which EUR 58.4

million consisted of depreciation of machinery and equipment.



Goodwill totalled EUR 76.1 (73.2) million at the end of the year

under review.



FINANCIAL POSITION AND BALANCE SHEET



The Group’s twelve-month cash flow from operating activities was

positive, amounting to EUR 133.9 (87.2) million. Cash flow from

investing activities amounted to EUR –140.7 (-92.2) million due to

increased capital expenditure. Cash flow from financing activities

totalled EUR 6.6 (-0.8) million. At the end of the year under

review, liquid assets stood at EUR 1.1 (1.3) million, resulting in

a net change in cash of EUR -0.2 (-5.8) million compared to the

previous year-end.



Ramirent’s interest-bearing liabilities totalled EUR 187.4 (167.5)

million at the end of the year under review, representing an

increase by EUR 19.9 million from year-end 2005. Net debt amounted

to EUR 186.3 (166.2) million at the end of the year under review.

Gearing amounted to 70.3% (84.3%).



The nominal value of the interest rate swaps at the end of the

year was EUR 49.9 (65.1) million.



Total assets amounted to EUR 584.3 (464.3) million and the Group’s

equity ratio was 45.4% (42.5%).



FINANCIAL TARGETS



Ramirent’s Board of Directors adopted new financial targets for

the Group in 2006. Ramirent is focusing on profitable growth and

the target is to have a strong financial position that provides

financial stability for long-term business decisions. The new

financial targets are as follows:

BUSINESS EXPANSION AND ACQUISITIONS DURING THE YEAR UNDER REVIEW



Ramirent has established a leading position in the Nordic region,

and in Eastern and Central European markets. Favorable market

conditions and a competitive business model allow the Group to

expand business operations and realize good returns on

investments. This is the foundation of the Ramirent growth

strategy, which allows the Group to allocate significant

investments to serve local customer demand, whilst maintaining a

strong financial base and realizing economies at the Group level

through utilization of the Ramirent platform. According to the

current Ramirent growth strategy, the Group reinvests a

significant part of the free cash flow in own capacity and bolt-on

acquisitions, in order to broaden the customer base and to

strengthen the product offering.



On 21 February, 2006, the Board of Directors of Ramirent Plc

decided to expand the Group’s business operations to cover the

Czech Republic. Operations started in June 2006 and are developing

as expected.



On 22 February, 2006, Ramirent signed an agreement under which it

acquired the remaining 25% minority interest in its Polish

subsidiary Ramirent Scaffolding Sp.z.o.o.



On  14  August, 2006, Ramirent Plc signed an agreement under which

it  acquired  Konevuokraamo  P.  Salminen  Oy  in  Finland,  which

operates in rental of construction machinery and equipment and  is

specialized   in  heavy  equipment.  The  acquisition  strengthens

Ramirent’s position in the rental business in Finland by  widening

product offering to heavy equipment to be able to serve also civil

engineering construction better.



On 24 October, 2006, Ramirent Plc signed an agreement on the

acquisition of the personnel lift rental business of Lainaväline

HS Oy as of 1 November, 2006, including the business names of

sister companies Lainaväline NKP and VIP-Lift. The acquisition

increased the personnel lift capacity of Ramirent and strengthened

further Ramirent’s position especially in Finnish shipyards.



On 1 November, 2006, Ramirent’s Swedish subsidiary Ramirent AB

signed an agreement on the acquisition of the machinery rental

company Mavex in Sweden. The acquisition supports Ramirent’s

strategy to increase the outlet network in Sweden and will

strengthen the position on the booming market in the Northern

Sweden.



On 30 November, 2006, Ramirent Plc signed an agreement on the

acquisition of RSK-Järvinen Oy in Finland. The company is

specialized in temporary electrification and heating at

construction sites. The acquisition supports Ramirent’s decision

to develop site services related to the machinery rental.



BUSINESS SEGMENTS



During the review period, Ramirent Group’s business operations

developed strongly in all business segments compared to the

previous year. In particular, the operations of Ramirent Sweden

and Europe developed well during the period.



From January 2006, certain Group costs are no longer attributable

to the Finland segment. Instead, they are reported separately as

“Costs not allocated to the business segments”. Previous periods

have been restated with regard to this change.



Finland



In Finland, business operations were very active in 2006.

Especially the market on shipyards and industry was intensified.

The market position was also strengthened by new acquisitions. Net

sales increased by 21.1% compared to the previous year and

totalled EUR 102.7 (84.8) million. Compared to the previous year,

the profit of the Finnish operations improved primarily as a

result of increased net sales and high capacity utilization. The

operating profit (EBIT) was EUR 25.7 (18.1) million and the

operating profit margin (EBIT-%) was 25.0% (21.4%).



Sweden



In Sweden, business operations improved significantly during the

year under review due to the favorable market situation, increased

investments in new product groups and the opening of new outlets.

Net sales grew by 24.5% compared to the previous year and were EUR

130.9 (105.1) million. Profit improved mainly due to increased net

sales and high capacity utilization. The operating profit (EBIT),

excluding profit from the divestment of properties, was EUR 22.5

(9.3) million, whereas the operating profit margin (EBIT-%) was

17.2% (8.8%).



Norway



In Norway, business operations developed positively. During the

review period net sales increased by 19.4% compared to the

previous year and totalled EUR 120.3 (100.8) million. The profit

of the Norwegian operations improved in comparison with the

previous year primarily due to increased net sales and high

capacity utilization. The operating profit (EBIT) was EUR 27.2

(15.7) million and the operating profit margin (EBIT-%) was 22.6%

(15.5%).



Denmark



In Denmark, business operations grew during the year under review.

The closing of a non-profitable product line in Denmark has been

completed. One reason for the lower operating margin in Denmark,

compared to the rest of the Group, is a higher share of re-renting

of machinery and equipment. Net sales grew by 17.1% totalling EUR

50.0 (42.7) million. Operations grew organically due to the

improved situation in the construction market. The operating

profit (EBIT) was EUR 7.3 (4.2) million, whereas the operating

profit margin (EBIT-%) was 14.6% (9.8%).



Ramirent Europe



Ramirent’s business operations in Eastern and Central European

countries (Russia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Hungary,

Ukraine, and the Czech Republic) developed very positively in

2006. Heavy investments in new capacity and high utilization

further improved the market position of Ramirent. Compared to the

previous year, net sales increased by 70.9% to EUR 96.4 (56.4)

million. Most of the growth was organic. The operating profit

(EBIT) improved to EUR 26.2 (11.8) million, the operating profit

margin (EBIT-%) being 27.2% (21.0%).



PERSONNEL



In  the year under review, the Group employed an average of  2,846

(2,614)   people,  of  whom  577  (581)  worked  in  the   Finnish

operations, 572 (566) in the Swedish operations, 567 (536) in  the

Norwegian operations, 194 (194) in the Danish operations, and  936

(737) in the European operations.



SHARES AND SHARE CAPITAL



During the review period, a total of 395,936 new shares were

subscribed with Ramirent Plc's 2002A and 2002B options, due to

which the Company’s share capital was increased by EUR 170,252.48.

The increases were entered in the Finnish Trade Register on 1

March 2006, 15 May 2006, 21 August 2006, 14 November 2006, and 22

December 2006.

the  Board of Directors of Ramirent directed a new issue of 30,000

Ramirent shares to the sellers of Konevuokraamo P. Salminen Oy. As

a  consequence of the directed share issue, the share  capital  of

Ramirent  was  raised by EUR 12,900.00. Trading with these  shares

commenced on the Helsinki Stock Exchange on 28 August, 2006.



On 31 December, 2006, Ramirent’s share capital was EUR

11,624,510.35 divided into 27,033,745 shares.

0.60 per share. The dividend was paid on 26,823,809 shares on 25

April, 2006.



BOARD AUTHORISATIONS



The Company’s Board of Directors has the following

authorisations:



- to decide on the acquisition of the Company’s own shares, using

its distributable funds on the condition that the shares will be

acquired in order to develop the capital structure of the Company,

and to be used as consideration in corporate or business

acquisitions. The shares can be also used as incentives for key

persons. The maximum number of the Company’s own shares to be

acquired is 1,341,190 the aggregate counter book value of which

corresponds to approximately 5% of the share capital and voting

rights attached to all the shares of the Company at the time of

the Annual General Meeting. Pursuant to the Companies Act, the

aggregate counter-book value of the Company’s own shares belonging

to the Company and its subsidiaries or the share of voting rights

attached to them may not exceed 10% of the share capital or the

voting rights attached to all the shares of the Company. The

shares will be acquired as to be decided by the Board of Directors

either through public trading on the Helsinki Stock Exchange where

the authorisation entitles the Board to acquire shares in

deviation from the proportional holdings of the shareholders or by

a public offer to acquire shares in proportion to the holdings of

the shareholders and on identical terms for all shareholders. The

shares will be acquired at their market value in public trading at

the time of acquisition.



- to decide on the disposal of the Company’s own shares acquired

pursuant to the authorisation. The authorisation is valid for no

more than 1,341,190 shares with a counter book value of EUR 0.43.

The Board of Directors is authorised to decide to whom and in what

order the Company’s own shares will be disposed of. The Board may

decide on the disposal of the Company’s own shares in deviation

from the pre-emptive rights of shareholders to acquire the

Company’s shares. The shares can be used as consideration in cases

of corporate or business acquisitions, or when the Company

otherwise acquires business-related assets in a way and to the

extent decided by the Board of Directors. The shares can be also

used as incentives for key persons. From the point of view of the

Company, the aforementioned situations constitute a valid economic

reason for deviating from the shareholders’ pre-emptive right. The

shares can be disposed of also against other forms of

consideration than cash. The transfer price must be no less than

the market price quoted on the Helsinki Stock Exchange at the time

of disposal.



- to decide on a directed share issue and to decide on the

increase of share capital by one or more issues entitling for the

subscription of a maximum of 1,341,190 new shares of the Company,

i.e. a maximum of approximately 5% of all the registered shares at

the time of the Annual General Meeting, and pursuant to which the

Company’s share capital can be raised by a total of no more than

EUR 576,711.70. The authorisation entitles the Board to deviate

from the pre-emptive rights of shareholders to subscribe for new

shares, and to decide on the subscription prices and terms. The

authorisation can be used in deviation from the pre-emptive rights

of shareholders, provided that there are weighty financial reasons

from the Company’s perspective, such as the financing of corporate

or business acquisitions or other arrangements affecting the

development of the Company’s business operations. The decision

cannot be made for the benefit of those included in the inner

circle of the Company. If the share capital is increased by a

share issue, the Board of Directors will be entitled to decide,

whether the shares can be subscribed for against contribution in

kind, or otherwise on particular conditions. The authorisation was

partly used during the review period for the acquisition of

Konevuokraamo P. Salminen Oy. The Company’s share capital was

increased, by a decision of the Board on 14 August 2006, by EUR

12,900.00 and 30,000 new shares were issued.

there are 62,267 Ramirent 2002B option rights outstanding based on

which 124,534 Ramirent shares can be subscribed for.



The share subscription price when exercising the 2002B options is

the trade-weighted average price of the Ramirent Plc share on the

Helsinki Stock Exchange, 1 October - 30 November, 2002. The share

subscription price is reduced prior to a share subscription by the

amount of decided dividends on the record date of each dividend

distribution. At the year end, each option entitles its holder to

subscribe to two shares with a counter-book value of EUR 0.43 for

a total subscription price of EUR 11.96. The subscription price of

one share is EUR 5.98. Based on the option rights, the Company’s

share capital may be increased by a maximum of EUR 60,571.52. The

share subscription period of the 2002B options is 1 October 2005 -

31 October, 2007.



EVENTS AFTER THE REVIEW PERIOD



Finnish business transfer to Ramirent Finland Oy



The Board of Directors of Ramirent Plc decided to transfer the

business run by itself in Finland, and the shares of its operating

Finnish subsidiaries, to Ramirent Finland Oy on 1 January 2007.

From now on, the Ramirent rental business in Finland is conducted

by Ramirent Finland Oy, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ramirent Plc.

By transferring the business to Ramirent Finland Oy, Ramirent aims

to streamline and clarify the corporate structure. Ramirent Plc

will remain the parent Company of the Ramirent Group and take care

of the Group’s centralised functions.



Subscription of Ramirent shares with 2002B option rights



Based on the 2002B option, 16,330 new Ramirent shares were

subscribed during the subscription window that ended on 1

February, 2007. The subscription price was, according to the terms

of the options programme, 5.98 euros per share. The corresponding

EUR 7,021.90 increase in the share capital is expected to be

entered in the Trade Register on 22 February, 2007. After the

increase the share capital is EUR 11,631,532.25 and the number of

shares is 27,050,075. After these subscriptions there are 62,267

Ramirent 2002B option rights outstanding based on which 124,534

Ramirent shares can be subscribed for.



DIVIDEND PROPOSAL



The Board will propose to the Annual General Meeting to double the

dividend to EUR 1.20 per share (0.60) and 24 April, 2007 as the

record date for payment.



FREE ISSUE PROPOSAL



The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting a

free issue for the current shareholders so that one (1) old share

entitles to receive additional three(3) shares without any payment

(equal to a split) to improve the liquidity of the shares and to

promote the trading of the shares. The new shares shall not

entitle to the dividend from year 2006 to be decided at the Annual

General Meeting of Shareholders on 19 April 2007.



ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING



The Annual General Meeting will be held at Scandic Continental

Hotel on 19 April, at 16:30 hrs. The invitation to the Annual

General Meeting is planned to be published on 26 February, 2007.

The annual report will be available in week 10.



OUTLOOK



The good market conditions are expected to continue in 2007. The

Company estimates that total construction activities will grow at

the rate of 3% in the Nordic countries next year. This view is

further supported by the backlog of the largest Nordic

construction companies that have reported increased backlogs for

the year 2007. In the Central and Eastern European markets where

Ramirent is present, the Company estimates a further solid growth.



Rental penetration rate is expected to further rise in the Group’s

markets for machinery and equipment rental services as

construction companies increasingly opt to rent equipment instead

of investing in their own fleet. Consequently, Ramirent estimates

that the machinery rental markets will grow faster than the

construction markets in 2007.



Ramirent is well positioned to take advantage of the opportunities

available in the markets and will continue its heavy investments

in capacity in 2007 to meet expected strong market demands. The

Company will also continue to search for bolt-on acquisitions and

to further improve internal efficiency to support profitable

growth. For the full-year 2007, Ramirent is expecting to exceed

its financial targets.
