Wärtsilä Corporation Company Announcement 15 July 2011, at noon (EET)

Wärtsilä Corporation revises its prospects for 2011. Wärtsilä expects its net
sales for 2011 to decline by 0-5% compared to last year due to weaker than
expected marine service markets and the timing of power plant deliveries.
Wärtsilä has previously estimated net sales for 2011 to grow by 3-5%.

Wärtsilä reiterates its expectation that operational profitability (EBIT% before
nonrecurring items) will be around 11%.

Wärtsilä's order intake for the second quarter 2011 was solid, increasing by 5%
to EUR 1,170 million and by 20% in relation to the previous quarter.

Wärtsilä Corporation's Interim Report for the period January-June will be
published Wednesday 20th July 2011 at 8.30 a.m. Finnish time.
