De bijstelling van Uponor is vermoedelijk de oorzaak van het tever doorzakken van Wavin. Wavin zelf gaf bij het halfjaarbericht aan, het tweede halfjaar zal wat rustiger worden, maar het eerst halfjaar was uitstekend en ook zal de hoge olieprijs neagtief zijn voor Wavin. Maar ook haar concurrenten hebben daar last van. Wavin heeft zich misschie beter ingedekt tegen de hoge olieprijs en blijft bij, het jaarresultaat zal ruim beter zijn dan die van 2006.

Following a slower-than-expected start into the autumn season, Uponor adjusts
its full-year guidance. The existing guidance, issued after Q1 and reconfirmed
after Q2, of net sales growth being around 10 percent in 2007 is today
downgraded to:

- Uponor expects its full-year 2007 net sales growth rate to comply with the
long-term target of a minimum 6 percent.

This is the same net sales guidance that Uponor gave in February when
announcing the 2006 financial results.

Uponor's full-year operating profit is expected to be above the level recorded
in 2006.

The demand for Uponor products and services has been short of the management's
expectations and prior year mostly in Germany and the US while also some other
markets have not developed as well as expected. In addition, the euro-USD
exchange rate development has a negative translation impact for Uponor.

Uponor's January - September interim results are due 26 October 2007.
