Overview
In the reporting period all business segments were affected by increasing raw
material prices. Despite a challenging market environment and stable volumes,
the Group net sales increased compared with the corresponding period in 2009 as
a result of a favorable currency translation effect and improved price and
product mix management.

Operating earnings improved due to successful cost control, efficient response
to higher raw material cost as well as a better product mix. Earnings per share
(EPS) from continuing operations improved to EUR 0.47 (EUR 0.33).

Cash flow generation was solid especially in North America and Group free cash
flow was EUR 44 million. Gearing reduced during the reporting period compared to
the corresponding period in 2009 to 0.47 (0.68).

The ongoing strategic review of the Rigid Consumer Goods Plastics operations
progressed. The carve out process has been completed during the second quarter.
Therefore the majority of the Rigid Consumer Goods Plastics operations are
classified as assets held for sale and reported as discontinued operations. The
strategic review will continue.

Films 8% (8%), North America 28% (30%), Molded Fiber 12% (11%), Foodservice

The  segment's  volumes  and  net  sales  increased  during the reporting period
compared  to the  corresponding period  in 2009. The  Asian units were important
contributors  to  the  positive  development.  In  Europe the growth slowed down
during the second quarter.

The  segment's earnings  improved, supported  by increased  volumes in  Asia and
improved product mix.

Films
Films  are mainly used  for technical applications  in the label, adhesive tape,
hygiene  and  health  care  industries,  as  well  as building and construction,
automotive,  packaging and  graphic arts  industries. The  segment serves global
markets from production units in Europe and North America.

*Q2 and H1 2009 EBIT include EUR 3.8 million non-recurring charges

Sales within the segment increased during the reporting period compared to the
corresponding period in 2009. Chosen core segments especially in North America
contributed to a significant volume growth. Volume growth accelerated during the
second quarter.

Earnings within the segment developed very positively due to higher volumes and
lower cost base.

North America
The North America segment serves local markets with Chinet® disposable tableware
products, ice-cream containers as well as other consumer goods and foodservice
products. The segment has production in North America and Mexico.

Soft market conditions lowered sales and earnings during the reporting period
compared to the corresponding period in 2009. After a sluggish start to the year
some volume improvement was visible in the Retail and Foodservice divisions.

Reduction in manufacturing and distribution costs as well as a favorable
currency translation effect had a positive impact on earnings in the second
quarter, mitigating the impact of lower volumes and higher raw material cost.

Molded Fiber
Recycled molded fiber is used to make fresh product packaging, such as egg and
fruit packaging. The segment has production in Europe, Oceania, Africa and South
America.

The segment's net sales increased during the reporting period compared to the

mix management.

Growth in earnings was mainly based on good price and product mix management.

Foodservice Europe-Asia-Oceania
Foodservice paper and plastic disposable tableware, such as cups, is supplied to
foodservice operators and fast food restaurants. The segment has production in

Soft market conditions continued and volumes decreased during the reporting
period. Earnings continued at an improving trend, driven by good cost
containment.


Discontinued operations
Rigid Consumer Goods Plastics operations have been under strategic review since
autumn 2008.

Rigid Consumer Goods Plastics units in South America and Australia were divested
in 2009. In Europe, the carve out process has been completed during the second
quarter. The Rigid Consumer Goods Plastics operations have been segregated into
separate legal entities. Income statement items, as well as assets and
liabilities directly associated with those units have been separated. Therefore
the units in Finland, France, Germany, Lithuania, Poland and Turkey are
classified as assets held for sale. The unit in Italy is reported under other
activities. For all units the strategic review is ongoing.

In this report the result for the assets held for sale is presented as a
separate line item under "discontinued operations". Quarterly results for 2009
and Q1 2010 have been restated accordingly. Results of units sold during 2009
are also included in the "discontinued operations" for respective quarters.

The result for the period from discontinued operations was EUR 4 million (EUR 9
million) and in the second quarter EUR 2 million (EUR 3 million). The decrease
is due to impact of divestments as well as higher raw material costs. The 2010
figures include a non-recurring charge of EUR 2 million related to the strategic
review of the discontinued operations.

Assets and liabilities under the assets held for sale are reported separately
from continuing operations in the statement of financial position.


Financial review
The Group EBIT in the reporting period from continuing operations was EUR 73
million (EUR 64 million, including EUR 4 million non-recurring charges),
corresponding to an EBIT margin of 7.5% (6.8%). In the second quarter, the Group
EBIT from continuing operations was EUR 44 million (EUR 35 million, including
EUR 4 million non-recurring charges), corresponding to an EBIT margin of 8.5%
(7.0%).

The net financial items for the reporting period were EUR -8 million (EUR -15
million) and for the second quarter EUR -4 million (EUR -6 million). Tax expense
for the reporting period was EUR 12 million (EUR 11 million) and for the second
quarter EUR 7 million (EUR 6 million).

The result for the period from continuing operations was EUR 54 million (EUR 38
million) and the earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations were EUR
0.47 (EUR 0.33). Correspondingly in the second quarter these were EUR 33 million
(EUR 23 million) and EUR 0.30 (EUR 0.20). The average number of outstanding
shares used in the EPS calculations was 101,131,905 (100,426,461) excluding
4,826,089 (5,061,089) of the Company's own shares.

The result for the period including discontinued operations was EUR 57 million
(EUR 47 million) and the earnings per share (EPS) were EUR 0.51 (EUR 0.42).
Correspondingly in the second quarter these were EUR 35 million (EUR 26 million)
and EUR 0.32 (EUR 0.24). The 2010 figures include a non-recurring charge of EUR
2 million related to the strategic review of the discontinued operations.


Statement of financial position and cash flow
Free cash flow in the reporting period was EUR 44 million (EUR 102 million) and
for the second quarter it was EUR 37 million (EUR 65 million). Capital
expenditure was EUR 24 million (EUR 18 million), correspondingly in the second
quarter it was EUR 14 million (EUR 10 million).

Net debt was EUR 378 million (EUR 487 million) at the end of June 2010. This
corresponds to a gearing ratio of 0.47 (0.68).

Total assets on the balance sheet were EUR 1,966 million (EUR 1,889 million).


Personnel
The Group had 13,049 (13,712) employees at the end of June 2010.


Short-term risks and uncertainties
Volatile raw material and energy prices as well as movements in currency rates
are considered to be relevant short-term business risks and uncertainties in the
Group's operations. General economic and financial market conditions can also
have an adverse effect on the implementation of the Group's strategy and on its
business performance and earnings.


Outlook for 2010
General economic and market conditions for the second half of 2010 remain
uncertain. However, based on the good first half year result, it is expected
that the full year 2010 EPS will be higher than in 2009 before non-recurring
charges (EUR 0.74). The Group is in a good financial position to address growth
opportunities in stronghold segments when they arise. Capital expenditure is
expected to be higher than in 2009 but below EUR 100 million.
