Metsä Board raises its result guidance for October–December 2017

Metsä Board Corporation Stock Exchange Release 13 December 2017 at 10.00 EET
Metsä Board is raising its result guidance for the fourth quarter of 2017, which
was announced in Metsä Board’s interim report for January–September 2017.

The previous guidance was: Mainly due to the maintenance shutdown at the Husum
integrated mill, Metsä Board’s comparable operating result in the fourth quarter
of 2017 is expected to weaken slightly from the third quarter of 2017.

The new guidance is: Metsä Board’s comparable operating result in the fourth
quarter of 2017 is expected to remain roughly at the same level as in the third
quarter of 2017.

Metsä Board’s comparable operating result in the third quarter of 2017 was EUR
50.4 million.

The pulp market in the fourth quarter of 2017 has been stronger than expected,
and the market price of long-fibre pulp, which impacts on Metsä Board’s result,
has risen more strongly than expected. Metsä Board’s paperboard business has
developed according to expectations.
