Comments by President and CEO Erkki Järvinen"The favorable development of our revenue continued in the third quarter. Our
sales volumes improved in all of our market areas except for Finland, where the
exceptionally long period of hot weather in the summer hampered the sales of
exterior paints. Of our strategic business units SBU Scandinavia, in particular,
performed strongly. The general recovery of the economies in our operating area
had a positive impact on the demand. Furthermore, we expect the pick-up in the
residential building market to have an effect also on the paint demand during
2011.

Due to cost increases and changes in sales mix, our relative profitability
declined in the third quarter in comparison to the corresponding period last
year. Our sales mix developed unfavorably in Finland, Scandinavia and Central
Eastern Europe. The cost level was further raised by additional investments in
marketing and human resources in Russia, where we consider investments in future
competitiveness especially important. In addition, challenges related to the
availability and prices of raw materials started to realize especially towards
the review period end, and our raw material costs increased in the third
quarter. The uncertainty related to raw material prices and availability seems
to continue during the coming months. Our focus will be on securing sufficient
raw material supply by extending our sourcing alternatives, where possible, and
also by adapting our raw material base to the appropriate extent.

We will continue adjusting our own sales prices during the year-end.
Historically, we have had a strong pricing power to pass on cost increases to
our sales prices. Due to the uncertainties related to the general economic
situation, we will pay special attention to managing our cost level.

Cash flow from operations has remained very strong despite the fact that the
Group has invested in higher raw material and end-product inventories.

Based on our strategy, we strive continuously to make our operations more
efficient. We are also exploring actively alternatives to grow both organically
and through possible acquisitions."

Consolidated Group               173.5    158.1      25.2                26.2


Tikkurila Group's revenue for July-September 2010 totaled EUR 173.5 (158.1)
million, i.e. 9.8 percent (EUR 15.5 million) more than in the third quarter of
2009. Exchange rate changes contributed to the growth, as well as sales volume
growth. Of the total growth, about EUR 12.0 million was based on the foreign
exchange rate translation effect, and EUR 6.4 million on sales volume increases.
Changes in product mix decreased the revenue by EUR 3.0 million. Decorative
paints generated about 85 percent and industrial coatings about 15 percent of
the total revenue for the third quarter of 2010.

Operating profit (EBIT) for July-September 2010 was EUR 25.2 (26.2) million,
which equals 14.5 (16.6) percent of revenue. The profitability of Tikkurila's
third quarter was hampered by changes in product mix, as well as by increased
cost level.

In the Group's operations there is intra-year seasonality, and hence the second
and third quarters typically generate most of Tikkurila's annual profits.

There were no non-recurring items in the third quarters of 2010 or 2009.

Net finance expenses for July-September totaled EUR 3.2 (3.1) million. Profit
before tax was EUR 22.0 (23.1) million. Taxes totaled EUR 5.1 (6.5) million,
representing an effective tax rate of 23.4 (28.3) percent. Earnings per share
were EUR 0.38 (0.38).

Consolidated Group                475.4    431.7      61.1                54.8


Tikkurila Group's revenue for January-September 2010 totaled EUR 475.4 (431.7)
million, i.e. 10.1 percent (EUR 43.7 million) more than in the corresponding
period last year. Of the total growth, about EUR 32.6 million was based on the
foreign exchange rate translation effect, sales volume increases boosting the
revenue by EUR 13.3 million. The effect of changes in product mix was EUR 2.3
million negative. Decorative paints accounted for about 85 percent, and
industrial coatings for about 15 percent, of the total revenue of the first nine
months of 2010.

Operating profit (EBIT) excluding non-recurring items for January-September
2010 was EUR 61.1 (54.8) million, which equals 12.9 (12.7) percent of revenue.
The non-recurring items were related to the second quarter of 2010 and 2009. The
non-recurring items recognized in the second quarter of 2010 were related to an
insurance compensation in Russia, and a fine set by Polish competition
authorities, having altogether a positive effect of EUR 0.7 million on the
operating profit. The non-recurring expense of EUR 2.4 million in the comparison
period in 2009 was caused by personnel reductions in the Group's Finnish and
Swedish operations.

Operating profit (EBIT) for January-September 2010 was EUR 61.8 (52.4) million.
The lower level of variable costs in the first nine months of 2010, in
comparison to last year, as well as higher sales volumes and exchange rate
changes contributed to the improved operating profit. The exchange rate changes
had a EUR 3.5 million positive impact on the operating profit.

Net finance expenses for January-September totaled EUR 6.0 (10.3) million.
Profit before tax was EUR 55.8 (42.2) million. Taxes totaled EUR 14.8 (12.2)
million, representing an effective tax rate of 26.6 (28.9) percent.  Earnings
per share were EUR 0.93 (0.68).

SBU East's revenue for July-September 2010 grew by 17.9 percent from the
comparison period and totaled EUR 65.7 (55.7) million. The increased revenue was
mainly due to exchange rate changes, the impact of which was EUR 5.4 million. In
addition, the revenue was improved by increased sales volumes, with an impact of
EUR 2.5 million. Changes in product mix increased the revenue by EUR 2.1
million. The positive development of the economies contributed to the improved
demand. The development of sales in SBU East's fringe areas, such as Ukraine,
Kazakhstan and Belarus, was very satisfactory. On the other hand, the Russian
consumer confidence fell somewhat in the third quarter.

The relative profitability of SBU East declined in the third quarter in
comparison to the corresponding period last year due to increased cost level,
related to e.g. increased variable costs, increased sales and marketing efforts,
as well as additional personnel expenses at the production facilities. Operating
profit (EBIT) for July-September 2010 totaled EUR 9.6 (9.5) million. The
operating profit was mainly improved by changes in product mix, as shifting from
economy products to premium products, which started in the beginning of the
year, continued. Exchange rates improved the operating profit by EUR 0.6
million.

SBU East's revenue for January-September 2010 grew by 17.0 percent from the
comparison period and totaled EUR 158.4 (135.3) million. The increased revenue
was mainly due to exchange rate changes and increased sales volumes. The
exchange rate changes improved the revenue by EUR 13.4 million and the increased
sales volumes by EUR 7.0 million. The impact of changes in product mix was EUR
2.8 million. The operating profit (EBIT) excluding non-recurring items for
January-September 2010 grew by 18.8 percent from the comparison period and
totaled EUR 20.8 (17.5) million. The operating profit was mainly improved by
higher sales volumes, changes in product mix, as well as variable costs
remaining at lower levels.

SBU Finland's revenue for July-September 2010 declined by 6.2 percent from the
comparison period and totaled EUR 26.5 (28.3) million. The demand was hampered
by an exceptionally long period of hot weather. Due to relatively high pre-order
volumes and challenging weather conditions during the summer, additional orders
for exterior paints were at modest levels. The revenue was mainly decreased by
changes in product mix, the impact of which was EUR 1.3 million negative. Lower
sales volumes decreased the revenue by EUR 0.5 million.

SBU Finland's operating profit (EBIT) for July-September 2010 declined by 42.6
percent from the comparison period and totaled EUR 3.4 (5.9) million. The
decrease was mainly due to changes in product mix, higher cost level, and lower
sales volumes.

SBU Finland's revenue for January-September 2010 declined slightly and totaled
EUR 90.2 (90.8) million. The revenue declined mainly due to changes in product
mix. SBU Finland's operating profit (EBIT) excluding non-recurring items for
January-September 2010 remained at last year's level and totaled EUR 16.1 (16.2)
million. The operating profit was hampered by changes in product mix.

SBU Scandinavia's revenue for July-September 2010 grew by 11.5 percent from the
comparison period and totaled EUR 49.8 (44.6) million. The increase was mainly
due to changes in exchange rates and improved sales volumes. The impact of
exchange rates was EUR 4.8 million, and that of sales volumes EUR 2.7 million.
Changes in product mix decreased the revenue by EUR 2.4 million. The Swedish
economy is growing rather strongly, and the prospects for the rest of the year
are bright. Sales to professional customers, in particular, picked up notably
during the review period.

SBU Scandinavia's operating profit (EBIT) for July-September 2010 grew by 13.6
percent and totaled EUR 9.1 (8.0) million. The improvement was mainly due to
higher sales volumes. On the other hand, the operating profit was hampered by
changes in product mix. The exchange rate changes improved the operating profit
by EUR 0.8 million.

SBU Scandinavia suffered from raw material shortages in the end of the review
period, which impacted negatively revenue and operating profit levels.

SBU Scandinavia's revenue for January-September 2010 grew by 12.9 percent from
the comparison period and totaled EUR 143.3 (126.9) million. The increase was
mainly due to changes in exchange rates, the impact of which was EUR 14.2
million. The impact of improved sales volumes was EUR 4.1 million. On the other
hand, changes in product mix hampered the operating profit by EUR 1.9 million.
SBU Scandinavia's operating profit (EBIT) excluding non-recurring items in
January-September 2010 grew by 21.7 percent and totaled EUR 20.3 (16.7) million.
The improvement was mainly due to lower variable costs.

SBU Central Eastern Europe's revenue for July-September 2010 grew by 7.1 percent
from the comparison period and totaled EUR 31.6 (29.5) million. The revenue
improvement was due to exchange rate changes and higher sales volumes. The
impact of exchange rate changes was EUR 1.8 million, and that of higher sales
volumes EUR 1.8 million. On the other hand, changes in product mix deteriorated
the revenue by EUR 1.4 million.

SBU Central Eastern Europe's operating profit (EBIT) for July-September 2010
grew by 9.9 percent from the comparison period and totaled EUR 3.7 (3.4)
million. The operating profit improvement was mainly due to higher sales volumes
and lower cost level. At the same time, changes in product mix had a negative
impact on the operating profit. Exchange rates increased the operating profit by
EUR 0.1 million.

SBU Central Eastern Europe's revenue for January-September 2010 grew by 6.1
percent from the comparison period and totaled EUR 83.5 (78.7) million. The
revenue improvement during the first nine months of the year was mainly due to
exchange rate changes, the impact of which was EUR 5.0 million. SBU Central
Eastern Europe's operating profit (EBIT) excluding non-recurring items for
January-September 2010 remained at last year's level and totaled EUR 6.3 (6.2)
million.

The economies in the SBU Central Eastern Europe's operating area seem to be
recovering from the recession at different paces. The biggest market Poland is
expecting a clear growth for 2010. However, Polish consumer confidence weakened
at the end of the preview period.

Legal Proceedings

The Group's Russian subsidiary OOO Tikkurila is currently engaged in a dispute
against the Russian company OOO Decolor in relation to "Finncolor" trademark. In
June 2010, the Arbitration Court of St. Petersburg confirmed Tikkurila's
property right to the "Finncolor" trademark. OOO Decolor appealed against the
decision, and the Court of Appeals reversed the lower court's decision.
Tikkurila will appeal against the decision.

In October 2009, the Polish competition authority set a fine of approximately
EUR 0.6 million for Tikkurila. According to the Polish competition authority,
certain distribution agreements of Tikkurila Polska S.A. contained an illegal
clause. Tikkurila appealed against the decision, and the Court of appeals
declined the fine to approximately EUR 0.2 million (PLN 0.7 million) on August
5, 2010. The competition authority has a right of appeal, and thus the decision
has not become final yet.

Nomination Committee

Tikkurila assigned five members to the Nomination Committee, four of them being
members outside the Board of Directors of Tikkurila and representing the four
largest shareholders of the company on August 31, 2010. The fifth member of the
Nomination Committee is the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Tikkurila, who
acts as an expert member. The members of the Nomination Committee are Pekka
Paasikivi, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Oras Invest Oy; Kari Järvinen,
Managing Director of Solidium Oy; Harri Kerminen, President and CEO of Kemira
Oyj; Risto Murto, Deputy CEO of Varma Mutual Pension Insurance Company; and Jari
Paasikivi, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Tikkurila Oyj. The Nomination
Committee will prepare the nomination and remuneration proposals of the members
of the Board of Directors to the Annual General Meeting.

Shares and Shareholders

Trading of Tikkurila Oyj's shares began on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd on March
26, 2010. At the end of September, Tikkurila's share capital was EUR 35.0
million, from a total of 44,108,252 registered shares. At the end of September
2010, Tikkurila held no treasury shares.

According to Euroclear Finland Oy's register, Tikkurila had a total of 27,410
shareholders on September 30, 2010. A list of the largest shareholders is
updated regularly on Tikkurila's website at www.tikkurilagroup.com.

At the end of September, the closing price for the Tikkurila share was EUR
15.89. The volume-weighted average share price for the review period (for the
trading period Mar 26-Sep 30) was EUR 15.78, the highest price being EUR 16.95,
and the lowest EUR 14.17. At the end of September, the market value of
Tikkurila's shares, valued at the closing price, was EUR 700.9 million. During
January-September 2010 (Mar 26-Sep 30), a total of close to 12.1 million
Tikkurila shares, which is about 27.4 percent of the registered amount of
shares, were traded on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd, and the value of the traded
volume was EUR 191.0 million.

Short-term Business Risks and Uncertainties

In addition to the risk factors highlighted in the earlier interim reports
published in 2010, the Company sees the following developments and uncertainties
potentially affecting the Group and the markets in which it operates:

The availability of some key raw materials used in paint production is still
very poor, and there are pressures to increase the raw material prices further.
Raw material related risks have already realized to some extent and they have
had an unfavorable impact on Group's financial performance. The Group has not
been able to meet the market demand in full, and additional resources have to be
spent on finding alternative raw material sources. In addition, the average unit
cost of raw materials has increased because of changes in the supply-demand
equilibrium. It is possible that the Group will not be able to transfer the
increased costs in full or without delay into its end product prices. Moreover,
uncertainties related to raw materials may have an impact on the market share
development, general competitive situation and product range.

In the 2009 financial statements there is a more detailed description of risks
relevant to the Group's operations.

Outlook for 2010

A significant part of Tikkurila's revenue and operating profit is accrued during
the second and third quarter of the year. A great majority of the revenue
improvement for both the second and third quarter was due to exchange rate
changes, as well as higher sales volumes. The operating profit increased in
January-September from the previous year due to higher sales volumes and lower
variable costs as a percentage of the revenue, as well as changes in foreign
exchange rates.

No significant changes took place in the operating environment during the third
quarter. The gradual recovery of the economies of Tikkurila's operating area
continued, although consumer confidence indicators fell somewhat at the end of
the review period in some market areas, such as Poland and Russia.
There are also some visible signs of picking up in the new construction market,
and e.g. in Finland the levels of building permits and new housing start-ups
were clearly higher in the first nine months of this year compared to last year.
In general, construction affects the paint demand with less than a year's delay.
Inflation is rising somewhat in focal market areas.

However, there are still no visible signs of a particularly strong recovery,
especially in the order levels of industrial customers in western markets. The
continuation of raw material price increases and problems related to their
availability may hamper Tikkurila's profitability towards the year-end. The
Group has decided to actively prepare to the problems related to raw material
availability, due to which the amount of inventories may still exceed last
year's levels in the near future.

Tikkurila keeps its guidance for the full year 2010 unchanged. Tikkurila's
revenue and operating profit (EBIT) excluding non-recurring items are expected
to exceed the corresponding 2009 level. The revenue and operating profit
estimates do not take into consideration possible effects from exchange rate
fluctuations, which may have a significant impact on the revenue development, in
particular.

Summary Financial Statements and Notes

The financial information presented in this interim report is prepared in

Tikkurila applies the same accounting principles as applied in the 2009
financial statements. The figures presented
in the tables have been rounded to one decimal, which shall be taken into

Based on the decision of the Annual General Meeting of Tikkurila Oyj on February
8, 2010, and Extraordinary General Meeting on March 4, 2010, Tikkurila Oyj has
repurchased 4,639 Tikkurila Oyj shares on May 10, 2010, and transferred 4,639
shares to the members of the Board of Directors as part of the remuneration of
the Board. After the transfer on May 19, 2010, the Company holds no treasury
shares.


NEW IFRS STANDARDS

The Group has adopted the following standards, interpretations and their
amendments as of January 1, 2010.

   - Revised IFRS 3 Business Combinations (effective for financial years
beginning on or after July 1, 2009). The amendments made to the standard are
substantial.

   - Amended IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (effective
for financial years beginning on or after July 1, 2009). The amendments affect
the accounting treatment of acquisitions and sales achieved in stages.

   - Amendments to IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement -
Eligible Hedged Items (effective for financial years beginning on or after July
1, 2009).


   - IFRIC 17 Distributions of Non-cash Assets to Owners (effective for
financial years beginning on or after July 1, 2009).

   - IFRIC 18 Transfers of Assets from Customers (effective on financial years
beginning on or after July 1, 2009).

   - Improvements to IFRSs (April 2009, effective mainly on financial years
beginning on or after January 1, 2010).

   - Amendments to IFRS 2 Share-based Payment - Group Cash-settled Share-based
Payment Transactions (effective on financial years beginning on or after January
1, 2010).

The Group's view is that the adoption of the standards and interpretations above
did not have any significant effect on the financial statements of the reporting
period.

 The adoption of the amendments would cause changes to Tikkurila Group financial
statements 2010 if new subsidiaries would be acquired (IFRS 3) or if share-based
payments would be taken into use (IFRS 2).


OPERATING SEGMENTS

Tikkurila's business activities are organized in four reportable segments as per
its strategy to be a long-standing operator in Europe and its neighboring areas.
The differences in these operating environments and overall management of each
area have been taken into account while establishing these reporting segments.
Segments' revenue arises from the sales of various paints and related products
that are sold to retailers, industrial customers and for professional use.
Insignificant revenue is received from the sales of auxiliary services related
to paints. Tikkurila common section includes the items related to the Group
headquarters.

The evaluation of profitability and decision making concerning resource
allocation are based on segmental operating profit. Reportable segment assets
are items of the statement of financial position that the segment employs in its
business activities or which can reasonably be allocated to a segment. Segments'
revenue is presented based on the location of the customers, whereas reportable
segment assets are presented according to the location of the assets. Inter-
segment pricing is based on market prices. External revenue accumulates from a
large number of customers.
