Operational EBIT comprises the operating profit excluding NRI and fair
valuations of the segments and Stora Enso's share of the operating profit
excluding NRI and fair valuations of its equity accounted investments (EAI).
Fair valuations include equity incentive schemes, synthetic options net of
realised and open hedges, CO2 emission rights and valuations of biological
assets related to forest assets in EAI. 

NRI = Non-recurring items. These are exceptional transactions that are not
related to normal business operations. The most common non-recurring items are
capital gains, additional write-downs or reversals of write-downs, provisions
for planned restructuring and penalties. Non-recurring items are normally
specified individually if they exceed one cent per share.

* Wood, energy, paper for recycling, by-products etc.

Sales at Group level at EUR 2 717 million were similar to a year ago.
Operational EBIT at EUR 124 million was EUR 20 million lower than a year ago.
This represents an operational EBIT margin of 4.6% (5.3%). 

Clearly lower sales prices in local currencies and lower volumes mainly in
paper grades decreased operational EBIT by EUR 40 million and EUR 8 million,
respectively. Paper and board production was curtailed by 9% (8%) and sawnwood
production by 7% (7%) to manage inventories. 

Fibre costs were clearly lower, driven by prices for wood and paper for
recycling. Variable costs in local currencies were EUR 25 million lower than a
year earlier despite higher energy costs due to decreased allocation of green
certificates in Sweden. 


The average number of employees at 28 660 was 570 lower than a year ago. The
number of employees decreased mainly in Sweden and Finland due to planned
closures and restructurings. The number of employees increased by 340 in China. 

The Group recorded non-recurring items (NRI) with a negative net impact of
approximately EUR 33 million on operating profit and a positive impact of
approximately EUR 9 million on income tax in its second quarter 2013 results. 

Net financial items were EUR 23 million less negative than a year ago. The net
interest expense increased by EUR 9 million due to the higher gross debt level
and lower interest income. The fair valuation of interest rate derivatives had
a positive impact of EUR 23 million. A gain of EUR 12 million from the sale of
EUR 99 million of subordinated debt of the equity accounted investments Bergvik
Skog and Tornator was recorded in the second quarter of 2013. The foreign
exchange loss in the second quarter was EUR 6 million less than a year earlier.
A non-recurring EUR 10 million positive impact due to the NewPage lease
guarantee provision reversal was recorded in the second quarter of 2012.

The operational return on capital employed was 5.8% (6.6%). Excluding the
ongoing strategic investments in Biomaterials and Renewable Packaging the
operational return on capital employed would have been 7.3% (7.9%). 

January-June 2013 Results (compared with January-June 2012)
Sales decreased by EUR 10 million year-on-year. Operational EBIT decreased by
EUR 52 million due to notably lower prices in local currencies and lower
volumes in paper grades. Fixed costs were lower and fibre costs clearly lower. 


Q2/2013 Results (compared with Q1/2013)
Sales were EUR 50 million higher at EUR 2 717 million and operational EBIT was
EUR 6 million higher at EUR 124 million, as anticipated. Sales prices in local
currencies were higher for pulp and sawn goods, and fibre costs were lower.
Fixed costs were higher mainly due to scheduled maintenance in the second
quarter at several European mills. The average number of employees at 28 660
was 440 higher due to temporary summer employees.

* Operative fixed assets include property, plant and equipment, goodwill,

other intangible assets. 


Financing Q2/2013 (compared with Q1/2013)
Total unutilised committed credit facilities were unchanged at EUR 700 million,
and cash and cash equivalents net of overdrafts remained strong at EUR 1 807
million, which is EUR 65 million more than for the previous quarter. In
addition, Stora Enso has access to various long-term sources of funding up to
EUR 600 million. 

The ratio of net debt to the last twelve months' operational EBITDA was 2.7
(2.7). 

The debt/equity ratio at 30 June 2013 was 0.55 (0.50). The increase is
primarily due to equity decrease following the EUR 237 million dividend payment
made during the second quarter of 2013, EUR 128 million reduction in the value
of PVO due to lower electricity prices and EUR 153 million negative currency
effect on owners' equity net of the hedging of equity translation risks, mainly
due to the weaker Brazilian real and Swedish krona.

Q2/2013 cash flow
Second quarter 2013 cash flow from operations was solid at EUR 344 million,
mainly because working capital decreased by EUR 126 million during the quarter.
Inventories decreased by EUR 60 million and receivables decreased by EUR 40
million. 

Capital Expenditure for January-June 2013
Additions to fixed and biological assets in the first half of 2013 totalled EUR
147 million, which is 51% of depreciation in the same period. 

The EUR 17 million equity injection into Montes del Plata, a joint venture in
Uruguay, and EUR 30 million cost of acquiring a 35% shareholding in Bulleh
Shah, a joint venture in Pakistan, totalled EUR 47 million in the first half of
2013. 

Investments in fixed assets and biological assets had a cash outflow impact of
EUR 168 million in the first half of 2013. 

The main projects ongoing during the first half of 2013 were Montes del Plata
and the Ostrołęka containerboard machine.

Streamlining and structure simplification programme to cut EUR 200 million from
fixed costs 

The streamlining and structure simplification programme, which is intended to
achieve annual net fixed cost savings of EUR 200 million, i.e. compensating for
inflation in addition to cost takeout in the second quarter of 2014 versus
actual 2012, is proceeding according to plan. The full impact of net cost
savings is expected from the second quarter of 2014 onwards. The new divisional
organisations have been announced. 

The net fixed costs were EUR 7 million lower in the second quarter of 2013 than
the second quarter of 2012 due to this programme. Annualised this represents
roughly 14% of the targeted EUR 200 million annual net cost savings. The
non-recurring costs related to the programme in the first half of 2013 totalled
EUR 43 million, including EUR 37 million in the second quarter of 2013. Most of
the remaining non-recurring costs are expected to be announced in the third
quarter of 2013. The number of employees had been reduced by 360. 


Near-term Outlook
In the third quarter of 2013 Group sales are expected to be slightly lower and
operational EBIT in line with or slightly higher than the second quarter of
2013.

  -- Sales prices in local currencies were lower and deliveries and production
     lower than a year ago as demand weakened. Lower prices for paper for
     recycling reduced variable costs slightly and fixed costs remained stable.
  -- As is now evident, the continuing deterioration in demand for paper
     products required the further streamlining and structure simplification
     actions announced on 23 April 2013 to adjust to the new supply and demand
     balance.
  -- Hylte Mill PM 2 and Kvarnsveden Mill PM 11 in Sweden were permanently shut
     down in May.

  -- Slightly lower sales prices
in local currency were offset by higher sales volumes 
year-on-year
, mainly due to Enocell.
  -- Fixed costs were negatively impacted by the biorefinery and in addition,
     operational EBIT by the strategic investment in Montes del Plata.
  -- Montes del Plata Pulp Mill is estimated to begin the mill start-up process
     at the end of third quarter of 2013.
Montes del Plata Pulp Mill is expected to have limited impact on the
     Group's sales and slightly negative impact on operational EBIT in 2013. In
     2014 the Group's sales are expected to be affected by 650 000 tonnes of
     Montes del Plata pulp with full positive EBITDA impact in the latter part
     of the year 2014 provided that the current market conditions prevail.

  -- Stora Enso is investing EUR 32 million in a world-class biorefinery at
     Sunila Mill in Finland.
  -- There will be an annual maintenance stoppage at Enocell Mill in Finland
     during the third quarter of 2013.

  -- Sales prices in local currencies were higher than a year ago, especially in
     overseas markets.
  -- The performance improvement was mainly due to exceptionally strong seasonal
     market conditions and improved cost performance resulting from the early
     start of the streamlining programme.

  -- Sales volumes were higher, driven by consumer board and the new 
Ostrołęka Mill
 PM 5, but average sales prices in local currencies were slightly lower.
     Lower fixed and variable costs more than offset slightly higher
     depreciation due to
Ostrołęka Mill 
PM 5. Exchange rates had a positive net impact on sales and costs after
     hedges.
  -- Stora Enso and Packages Ltd. completed the process of establishing a joint
     venture called Bulleh Shah Packaging (Private) Limited in Pakistan in May.
  -- To accelerate access to the growing Chinese market, Stora Enso will launch
     its integrated mill project in Guangxi, China in two phases, starting with
     building a consumer board machine. The first-phase capital expenditure is
     expected to be EUR 760 million.
  -- The new Ostrołęka Mill PM 5 production is proceeding according to plan and
     the EBITDA margin is expected to be approximately 20% during the latter
     part of 2013.
  -- In June Stora Enso announced that it is investing approximately EUR 32
     million in Skoghall Mill in Sweden. The investment primarily pertains to
     rebuilding of a fibre line in the sulphate pulp mill and its chemical
     recovery operations, thereby increasing the mill's pulp production capacity
     by 45 000 tonnes per year.
  -- In June Stora Enso decided to commence a feasibility study with the aim of
     converting the Varkaus Mill fine paper machine in Finland to produce
     virgin-fibre-based containerboard.
  -- There will be an annual maintenance stoppage at Imatra Mills in Finland
     during the third quarter of 2013.

  -- Operational EBIT in Nordic wood sourcing operations continued to benefit
     from good harvesting conditions in the beginning of the quarter, but
     returned to normal towards the end of the quarter.
  -- Costs were lower in Group functions and services.


Short-term Risks and Uncertainties
The main short-term risks and uncertainties relate to the economic situation in
Europe and further increasing imbalance in the European paper market. 

Energy sensitivity analysis: the direct effect of a 10% increase in
electricity, heat, oil and other fossil fuel market prices would have a
negative impact of approximately EUR 15 million on operational EBIT for the
next twelve months, after the effect of hedges. 

Wood sensitivity analysis: the direct effect of a 10% increase in wood prices
would have a negative impact of approximately EUR 200 million on operational
EBIT for the next twelve months. 

Chemicals and fillers sensitivity: the direct effect of a 10% increase in
chemical and filler prices would have a negative impact of approximately EUR 63
million on operational EBIT for the next twelve months. 

A decrease in energy, wood or chemical and filler prices would have the
opposite impact. 

Foreign exchange rates sensitivity analysis for the next twelve months: the
direct effect on operational EBIT of a 10% strengthening in the value of the US
dollar, Swedish krona and British pound against the euro would be about
positive EUR 104 million, negative EUR 81 million and positive EUR 51 million
annual impact, respectively. Weakening of the currencies would have the
opposite impact. These numbers are before the effect of hedges and assuming no
changes occur other than a single currency exchange rate movement. 

Veracel
On 11 July 2008 Stora Enso announced that a federal judge in Brazil had issued
a decision claiming that the permits issued by the State of Bahia for the
operations of Stora Enso's equity accounted investment Veracel were not valid.
The judge also ordered Veracel to take certain actions, including reforestation
with native trees on part of Veracel's plantations and a possible BRL 20
million (EUR 7 million) fine. Veracel disputes the decision and has filed an
appeal against it. Veracel operates in full compliance with all Brazilian laws
and has obtained all the necessary environmental and operating licences for its
industrial and forestry activities from the competent authorities. In November
2008 a Federal Court suspended the effects of the decision. Veracel has not
recorded any provision for the reforestation or the possible fine. 

On 30 September 2009 a judge in the State of Bahia issued an interim decision
ordering the State Government of Bahia not to grant Veracel further plantation
licences in the municipality of Eunápolis in response to claims by a state
prosecutor that Veracel's plantations exceeded the legal limits, which Veracel
disputes. Veracel's position is supported by documentation issued by the State
environmental authority. 

Class Action Lawsuits in USA
In the context of magazine paper sales in the USA in 2002 and 2003, Stora Enso
Oyj (SEO) and Stora Enso North America (SENA) were sued in a number of class
action (and other civil) lawsuits filed in the USA by various magazine paper
purchasers that claimed damages for alleged antitrust violations. In December
2010 a US federal district court granted a motion for summary judgement
dismissing the direct purchaser class action claims on SEO and SENA. Following
appeal, a federal court of appeals on 6 August 2012 upheld the district court's
ruling as to SEO, but reversed the district court's ruling as to SENA and
referred that part of the case back to the district court for a jury trial to
determine whether SENA's conduct did violate the federal antitrust laws. The
trial of the case against SENA was scheduled to begin in August 2013. Because
Stora Enso disposed of SENA in 2007, Stora Enso's liability, if any, would have
been determined by the provisions in the SENA Sales and Purchasing Agreement.
On 17 July 2013, Stora Enso reached an agreement (which is subject to approval
by the US federal district court) to settle the cases filed by the direct
magazine paper purchasers without any admission of liability by SENA or SEO.
Stora Enso has set aside USD 8 million to cover the cost of settling those
claims, which cost will be recorded in the third quarter 2013 accounts. The
case has been disclosed as a contingent liability. There are no provisions
related to the case in Stora Enso's balance sheet per 30 June 2013.
Furthermore, most of the indirect purchaser actions have been dismissed by a
consent judgement, subject, however, to being reinstated if the plaintiffs in
the direct cases would have been ultimately successful in obtaining a final
judgement that SENA violated antitrust laws. 

Legal Proceedings in Finland
On 3 December 2009 the Finnish Market Court fined Stora Enso for competition
law infringements in the market for roundwood in Finland from 1997 to 2004.
Stora Enso did not appeal against the ruling. 

On 31 March 2011 Metsähallitus of Finland initiated legal proceedings against
Stora Enso, UPM and Metsäliitto claiming compensation for damages allegedly
suffered due to the competition law infringements. The total claim against all
the defendants amounts to approximately EUR 160 million and the secondary claim
against Stora Enso to approximately EUR 85 million. 

In addition, Finnish municipalities and private forest owners have initiated
similar legal proceedings. The total amount claimed from all the defendants
amounts to approximately EUR 75 million and the secondary claims and claims
solely against Stora Enso to approximately EUR 25 million. 

Stora Enso denies that Metsähallitus and other plaintiffs have suffered any
damages whatsoever and will forcefully defend itself. No provisions have been
made in Stora Enso's accounts for these lawsuits. 

Changes in Organisational Structure and Group Management

Financials


Basis of Preparation
This unaudited interim financial report has been prepared in accordance with
the accounting policies set out in International Accounting Standard 34 on
Interim Financial Reporting and in the Group's Annual Report for 2012. 

The Group has applied the following amendment effective from 1 January 2013
that requires restatement of previous financial statements: 

  -- IAS 19 Employee Benefits (amendment) eliminates the ‘corridor method',
     streamlines the presentation of changes in assets and liabilities arising
     from defined benefit plans and enhances the disclosure requirements arising
     from the standard. The Group has not applied the ‘corridor method'. The
     effects of this amendment on the Group financial statements are not
     material. The effects on the Condensed Consolidated Income Statement and
     Statement of Financial Position are the following:

The following standards have also been applicable effective from 1 January 2013:

  -- IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (amendment) introduces changes
     to the presentation of items of other comprehensive income. Items that
     could be reclassified to profit or loss at a future point in time now have
     to be presented separately from items that will never be reclassified. The
     amendment affected presentation only and had no impact on the Group's
     financial position or performance.
  -- IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Enhanced disclosure requirements related to
     offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities. The amendment
     might have some effect on presentation in the financial statements but had
     no impact on the Group's financial position or performance.
  -- IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement establishes the definition of fair value and
     introduces a single IFRS framework for measuring fair value while seeking
     to increase consistency and comparability by requiring disclosures about
     fair value measurements applied in the financial statements of an entity.
     The application of IFRS 13 has not materially affected the fair value
     measurements carried out by the Group. The new standard also requires
     specific disclosures on fair values, some of which replace existing
     disclosure requirements in other standards. Some of these disclosures are
     specifically required for financial instruments, thereby affecting the
     interim financial statement. The additional disclosures are included in
     this Interim Review.
  -- IAS 12 Income Taxes (amendment) provides additional regulation on deferred
     tax in the case of recovery of underlying assets. The amendment is not
     relevant to the Group.
  -- IFRIC 20 Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine
     introduces accounting treatment for stripping costs arising in the mining
     industry. The interpretation is not relevant to the Group.

All figures in this Interim Review have been rounded to the nearest million,
unless otherwise stated.

The sensitivity is based on estimated next 12 months net operating cash flow.
The calculation does not take into account currency hedges, and assumes no
changes occur other than a single currency exchange rate movement. Weakening
would have the opposite impact. 



Fair Values of Financial Instruments
The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair
value of financial instruments by valuation technique: 

• Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities; 

• Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant
effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or
indirectly; 

• Level 3: techniques which use inputs which have a significant effect on the
recorded fair values that are not based on observable market data. 

The valuation techniques are described in more detail in the Financial
Statements.

Unlisted shares
The unlisted shares comprise mainly PVO shares for which the valuation method
is described in more detail in the Annual Report. The valuation is most
sensitive to changes in electricity prices and discount rates. The discount
rate of 4.57% used in the valuation model is determined using the weighted
average cost of capital method. A +/- 5% change in the electricity price used
in the DCF would change the valuation by +/- EUR 76 million and a +/- 1% change
in the discount rate would change the valuation by -/+ EUR 107 million.
