TELESTE INCREASES ITS PREVIOUS GUIDANCE FOR 2011

Teleste Corporation increases its guidance released previously for 2011.

The changed guidance for 2011 is based on the higher than anticipated net sales and, therefore, on improved operating profit in the last quarter. In particular, deliveries related to optical product solutions and video surveillance projects performed better than predicted.

The new guidance for 2011:
Teleste estimates its net sales to increase approximately by 10% and operating profit to increase by 25 to 30% over the 2010 level.

Previous guidance in the Interim Report January-September on 26 October 2011:
We keep the outlook for 2011 unchanged. We estimate net sales to increase slightly and the operating profit to improve somewhat over the 2010 level.

Teleste will publish its Financial Statements for 2011 on 1 February 2012.
