Nokian Tyres group’s net sales increased by 32.9% to EUR 384.3 million (EUR 289.2 million in Q1/2011). Operating profit grew to EUR 105.0 million (EUR 72.3 million). Earnings per share increased to EUR 0.67 (EUR 0.49).
Outlook:
The demand and order book for Nokian car tyres are strong on all Nokian Tyres’ core markets, especially in Russia. For Nokian Tyres the growing production capacity offers further growth potential and productivity gains, and a declining fixed cost ratio supports profitability.

Nokian Heavy Tyres’ sales in 2012 are estimated to decrease compared to 2011 due to a softer demand.
