MR. TAPANI KIISKI, PRESIDENT AND CEO:                                           
DIFFICULT MARKET SITUATION CONTINUES AND WEAKENS PROFITABILITY                  

The deep global economic and financial crisis continues. As a result, our       
customers' market situation has remained very difficult. The capacity           
utilization rates of plywood and LVL mills are low, and some mills have even    
been closed down. Our customers' need and also ability to invest are low.       
Likewise, the demand for technology services is weaker than normally as the     
mills' capacity is underutilized. Our customers' difficult situation has        
affected our demand. Both our order intake and order book continued to fall and 
have now reached a record low level. At the present low level of net sales, our 
operations are loss-making.                                                     

We have actively adjusted our operations to the weakened market situation. We   
have reformed our operational models and restructured our organization to       
improve our ability to serve our customers. During this slow period, we also    
completely modernized one of the large key production machines at the Nastola   
plant to improve productivity. The personnel adaptation measures we have taken  
have not compromised our ability to deliver and provide service.                

Even during these exceptional times, we will stick to the cornerstones of our   
strategy: the ability to serve customers worldwide, the full service concept and
significant investments in technology development. We will hold on to the       
resources required to implement this strategy, our competent personnel, to build
up our future after the present economic slowdown. The cost for this is the     
price that we now have to pay for our future success. I am confident that the   
systematic implementation of this strategy will bear fruit as soon as later this
year in the form of an increased order intake volume.                           

Thanks to the measures mentioned above, we will be well prepared to meet the    
challenges presented by customers as soon as the markets recover. In the        
meantime, we will experience a very difficult year and make a negative result,  
and will also have to continue our adaptation measures concerning the entire    
personnel.                                                                      



RAUTE CORPORATION - INTERIM REPORT JANUARY 1 - JUNE 30, 2009                    

MARKET SITUATION                                                                

Market situation in customer industries                                         

The demand for plywood and LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber) has remained at a very 
low level in all the important market areas. Most of the mills in the sector    
have had to adapt their production levels to correspond with the lowered demand 
either by shortening their workweek or implementing shut-down periods of varied 
duration. Some of the least profitable and least efficient mills have also been 
closed for good. The reason for this is the global economic slowdown and        
especially the weak situation in the construction and transport industries.     

Demand for wood products technology and technology services                     

The weak demand for end products continued to postpone major investment         
decisions in the plywood and LVL industries. Due to the low capacity utilization
rates, the demand for technology services remained at a low level.              

Several mill-scale investment projects are still in the planning phase in most  
markets. The projects have not been cancelled, but their implementation is being
postponed not only due to the difficult market situation but also due to the    
uncertain situation in the financial markets, above all, in the case of         
long-term financing.                                                            


ORDER INTAKE AND COMPETITIVE POSITION                                           

Net sales are generated exclusively by project deliveries and technology        
services related to the wood products technology business. Project deliveries   
encompass complete mills, production lines, and individual machines and         
equipment units. Technology services include maintenance, spare part services,  
modernizations, consulting, training, and sales of reconditioned machinery.     

The order intake during the reporting period, EUR 11 million (MEUR 49), was     
exceptionally low. The order intake for technology services amounted to         
EUR 8 million (MEUR 14) for the reporting period.                               

The low volume of order intake was attributable to the difficult market         
situation of Raute's customer industries, the low capacity utilization rates of 
mills and the further postponement of investment decisions relating to large,   
mill-scale projects.                                                            

On May 20, 2009, Raute Corporation signed a sales contract worth some           
EUR 8 million on machine deliveries to Russia with a Chinese customer. For      
reasons beyond the control of Raute, the contract did not take effect as        
scheduled in June, and it is not included in the company's order book on June   
30, 2009. Both the customer and Raute are continuing their efforts to bring the 
sale into force.                                                                

There have been no essential changes in Raute's competitive position, and thus  
Raute will be competitive when demand recovers. Customers appreciate            
comprehensive competence and strong technology development in their strategic   
investments aimed at ensuring their ability to deliver and provide service. The 
competitive advantage provided by Raute's technology plays an important role    
when customers select their suppliers.                                          

Due to its strong financial position, Raute's ability to survive the economic   
slowdown is good. Thanks to its strong market position and the development      
efforts made, Raute's ability to respond to growing demand as soon as the     
markets recover will be excellent.                                              


NET SALES AND ORDER BOOK                                                        

Net sales for the reporting period totaled EUR 20.9 million (MEUR 54.6), down   
62 percent on the comparison period. The decline in net sales was due to the    
difficult market situation.                                                     

Technology services accounted for 34 percent (22%) of net sales for the         
reporting period. Europe's share of net sales was 61 percent (48%), Russia's    
16 percent (34%), North America's 7 percent (12%) and the share of other market 
areas 16 percent (6%).                                                          

The order intake in the second quarter amounted to EUR 7 million (MEUR 16).     

The order book declined by EUR 3 million during the second quarter on the       
comparison period due to the low order book at the start of the period and the  
low volume of order intake. The order book stood at EUR 14 million (MEUR 50) at 
the end of the reporting period.                                                


RESULT AND PROFITABILITY                                                        

The Group's operating profit for the reporting period was EUR 4.1 million       
negative (MEUR 3.9 positive) and accounted for -20 percent (+7%) of net sales.  
The weak profitability for the reporting period was caused by the very low level
of net sales.                                                                   

The flexibility provided by the structural changes implemented at Raute in      
recent years to adapt to fluctuations in demand has been fully utilized. In     
addition, operations have been adjusted by reducing personnel and implementing  
temporary lay-offs as well as by reorganizing operations. However, all these    
measures are not sufficient to compensate for the effects of the rapidly and    
strongly weakened demand.                                                  

Raute's strategy is to operate worldwide and serve its customer industries with 
the full service concept both in project deliveries ranging from mill-scale     
projects to individual machines and in technology services. Maintaining this    
ability to deliver means that a large share of Raute's resources and thus costs 
are fixed. This weakens Raute's ability to adapt its costs to a substantially   
lowered level of business and thus decreases the operating profit in the present
exceptional market situation.                                                   
Result before tax for the reporting period was EUR 4.1 million negative         
(MEUR 4.2 positive) and the result EUR 3.4 million negative (MEUR 2.9 positive).
Earnings per share (undiluted) were EUR -0.86 (EUR 0.74).                       

Second-quarter net sales were EUR 9.6 million (MEUR 30.7). Operating profit was 
EUR 1.9 million negative (MEUR 2.7 positive) and accounted for -20 percent (9%) 
of net sales. The second quarter result was EUR 1.5 million negative (MEUR 2.0  
positive), and earnings per share were EUR -0.38 (EUR 0.50).                    


FINANCING                                                                       

The Group's financial position remained good. At the end of the reporting       
period, gearing was -25.1 percent (-60.1%) and the equity ratio 59.1 percent    
(62.3%). The fluctuation in balance sheet items and the key figures based on    
them is a result of differences in the timing of customer payments and the cost 
accumulation from project deliveries, which is typical of project business.     

Raute's liquid assets stood at EUR 16.3 million (MEUR 20.2) at the end of the   
reporting period. Operating cash flow was -EUR 0.5 million (MEUR 14.7). Cash    
flow from investment activities totaled EUR -0.2 million (MEUR -1.8). Cash flow 
from financing activities was EUR -4.1 million (MEUR -4.0) and includes a TyEL  
loan installment of EUR 1 million and EUR 2.8 million (MEUR 4.0) in dividend    
payments.                                                                       
Interest-bearing liabilities amounted to EUR 9.3 million (MEUR 0.5) at the end  
of the reporting period, with a TyEL loan accounting for EUR 9.0 million (MEUR  
0.0) Unused long-term credit limits amounted to EUR 14 million (MEUR 17). The   
company also has a EUR 10 million (MEUR 10) commercial paper program.           


RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS AND CAPITAL EXPENDITURE                          

Research and development costs totaled EUR 1.4 million (MEUR 2.1) in the        
reporting period, representing 6.5 percent (3.9%) of net sales.                 

Investments totaled EUR 0.3 million (MEUR 1.8), including capitalized           
development costs in the amount of EUR 0.1 million (MEUR 0.5).                  


PERSONNEL                                                                       

The Group's headcount at the end of the reporting period was 539 (605). Group   
companies outside Finland accounted for 23 percent (22%) of employees. Converted
to full-time employees, the average number of personnel was 454 (572).          

During the first part of the year, negotiations in accordance with the Act on   
Co-operation within Undertakings were carried out in the Group on additional    
adaptation measures concerning the entire personnel in the Finnish units. Stock 
exchange releases were issued on the outcome of the negotiations on March 16,   
2009 and May 26, 2009. The decisions of the earlier negotiated solution         
concerning the entire personnel reached on November 18, 2008 are also still     
valid.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2009                                                     

Raute Corporation's Annual General Meeting was held on April 2, 2009. It adopted
the financial statements for 2008, granted discharge from liability to those    
accountable and decided to distribute a dividend of 0.70 euro per share.        

The Annual General Meeting on April 2, 2009 elected the company's Board of      
Directors for a term that expires at the end of the Annual General Meeting      
of 2010. Mr. Erkki Pehu-Lehtonen was elected Chairman of the Board, Ms. Sinikka 
Mustakallio Vice-Chairman and Mr. Risto Hautamäki, Mr. Ilpo Helander, Mr. Mika  
Mustakallio and Mr. Panu Mustakallio as Board members.                          

Authorized Public Accountants Anna-Maija Simola and Antti Unkuri were elected as
auditors, and Ernst & Young Oy, an authorized public accounting company, as     
deputy auditor.                                                                 

The Annual General Meeting decided that the remuneration paid to the Chairman of
the Board will be EUR 40,000 and to the Vice-Chairman of the Board and Board    
members EUR 20,000 for the term of office and that the Board Members' traveling 
expenses will be compensated in accordance with the company's travel policy. The
compensation to the auditors will be paid on the basis of reasonable invoicing. 

The Annual General Meeting decided to amend the Articles of Association, mainly 
due to the new Limited Liability Companies Act, which came into force on        
September 1, 2006. The Annual General Meeting authorized the Board of Directors 
to decide on the repurchase of Raute Corporation's series A shares with the     
company's distributable assets and to decide on a directed issue of a maximum of
400,000 of the company's series A shares.                                       

More detailed information on the decisions of the Annual General Meeting can be 
found in the stock exchange release issued on April 2, 2009.                    


DIVIDEND FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR 2008                                            

The Annual General Meeting held on April 2, 2009 decided to distribute a        
dividend of EUR 0.70 per share for 2008. The total amount of dividends is       
EUR 2.8 million, series A shares accounting for EUR 2,109,517.90                
(EUR 3,013,597.00) and series K shares for EUR 693,812.70 (EUR 991,161.00). The 
dividend payment date was April 16, 2009.                                       


BUSINESS RISKS                                                                  

The continued financial crisis and the uncertainty in the development of the    
global economy sustain near-future risks. In this situation, predictability is  
substantially weaker than under normal conditions. For Raute, the most          
significant near-future risks relate to the low order book and the development  
of net sales and profitability generated by it. During the reporting period,    
there have been no essential changes in the other business risks described in   
the Board of Directors' report and financial statements for 2008.               


OUTLOOK FOR 2009                                                                

Due to the global economic uncertainty and the financial crisis, the market     
situation in Raute's customer industries is expected to remain difficult        
throughout 2009. Investments and demand for services in the wood products       
industry are expected to remain low in all market areas, with the exception of  
individual mill-scale projects, several of which are in the planning phase in   
various market areas, as customers are already making preparations for the      
period following the present economic slowdown. In addition, restructuring      
resulting from the difficult situation in the customer industries may activate  
some investments.                                                               

Thanks to its strong financial position, market position and the implemented    
development efforts, Raute's ability to survive the economic slowdown and to    
respond to growing demand as soon as the markets recover will be excellent.     

Due to the low order book, weak demand and the postponement of investment       
decisions relating to mill-scale projects, Raute's net sales will decline       
significantly in 2009. Raute will continue to adjust its operations to the weak 
demand and the low level of the order book. Operating profit will be negative,  
despite the adaptation measures taken.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS					                     
1. General information

Raute Corporation's Board of Directors has on Auqust 4, 2009 reviewed the       
Group's Interim financial report for January 1 - June 30, 2009, and decided to  
publish Raute Corporation's Interim financial report for January 1 - June 30,
2009 in compliance with this release.			 
2. Accounting principles						                                                  
Raute Corporation's Interim financial report January 1 - June 30, 2009, has been
prepared in accordance with standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. Raute  
Group's Interim financial statements do not contain full notes and other        
information presented in the financial statements. Therefore, the Interim       
financial report should be read in conjunction with the Financial statements    
published for 2008.    								 
The Interim financial statement has been prepared applying the accounting       
principles described in the Annual financial statements for 2008, and following 
new standards and amendments to standards as of 1 January, 2009.			 
- IFRS 8, Operating segments. According to the standard, the segment information
presented should be based on internal reports submitted to the management and   
the calculation principles followed in the reporting. The accounting principles 
applied to the segment reporting to the Group's management are consistent with  
the external accounting. The assessment of segment performance and decisions on 
the allocation of resources to the segment are based on its operating profit.   
Adoption of this Standard did not have any effect on the segments of the Group. 
- IAS 1, Presentation of financial statement, standard amendment. According to  
revised standard non-owner changes in equity are not allowed to be presented in 
the statement of changes in equity. All non-owner changes in equity are required
to be shown in a comprehensive income statement items. As a result of the       
amendment, group can choose whether to present one performance statement (the
comprehensive income statement) or two separate statements (the income
statement and comprehensive income statement). Raute Group has elected to
present one performance statement.    						 
The following new standards, standard amendments, and interpretations are in    
effect for the financial year beginning January 1, 2009, but they did not       
significantly affect the result or the balance of the Group or the financial    
statement presentation:						 
- IAS 23 Borrowing costs, amendment						                                       
- IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes						                    
- IFRIC 15 Agreement for the Construction of Real Estate						                  
- IFRIC 16 Hedges of a Net Investment in a Foreign Operation						              
- IAS 39 Financial instruments: recognition and measurement, amendment.						   
The figures presented in the Interim financial report have not been audited     
except the figures for the financial statements for 2008. Figures in parentheses
refer to the corresponding figures in the comparison period. All the monetary   
figures presented in this interim report are in thousands euros, unless         
otherwise stated. Due to the rounding of the figures in the financial statement 
tables, the sums of figures may deviate from the sum total presented in the     
table.  					      						 
The preparation of Interim financial report according to IFRS-standards requires
management to use estimates and assumptions when adopting accounting principles.
Because the forward-looking estimates and assumptions are based on management's 
best knowledge at the interim time, they comprise risks and uncertainties. The  
actual results may differ from these estimates.
