Ahlstrom, a global high performance fiber-based materials company, lowers its full-year guidance for net sales and operating profit due to lower than expected sales volumes as demand has continued to be soft in Ahlstrom's key markets in Europe and North America. 
 
Also maintenance related downtime at Osnabrück plant in Germany and adverse currency fluctuations have impacted net sales and operating profit development negatively.
 
Ahlstrom now forecasts net sales from continuing operations to be EUR 960-1,040 million in 2013. The operating profit excluding non-recurring items from continuing operations will be 0-2% of net sales. 
 
The company had previously expected net sales from continuing operations to be EUR 980-1,140 million, and operating profit excluding non-recurring items from continuing operations of 2-5% of net sales in 2013.
