Overview
Group net sales stabilized but, as a result of the divestments completed in
2009, the reported net sales were lower than in the corresponding period in
2009.  Volumes increased in Flexible Packaging, Films and Molded Fiber.
Foodservice Europe-Asia-Oceania segment's volumes remained stable. North America
continued to experience softer markets, although some recovery was recorded in
the end of the reporting period.

Volume growth contributed positively to earnings. Group earnings before interest
and taxes (EBIT) were lower than prior year due to divestments and the negative
impact of higher raw material costs particularly in Rigid Consumer Goods
Plastics segment. North America segment's profitability was weaker due to soft
volumes, higher marketing costs as well as higher raw material costs.

The financial expense was significantly lower than in the corresponding period
in 2009 due to lower net debt and interest rates. Result before taxes and EPS
improved versus the corresponding period last year.

The strategic review of the remaining Rigid Consumer Goods Plastics operations
is ongoing.


Business review by segment
The sales distribution by segment was following: Flexible Packaging 26% (23%),
Films 8% (8%), North America 23% (25%), Molded Fiber 11% (10%), Foodservice
Europe-Asia-Oceania 21% (19%) and Rigid Consumer Goods Plastics 11% (14%).

Flexible Packaging
Flexibles are used for consumer packaging of a wide range including food, pet
food, hygiene and health care products. The segment serves global markets from
production units in Europe, Asia, Oceania and South America.

EUR million        Q1 2010 Q1 2009

Net sales            126.8   120.2

EBIT                   9.9     8.8

EBIT margin %          7.8     7.3

RONA % (12m roll.)     9.3     0.4


The segment's volumes and net sales increased during the reporting period versus
the corresponding period in 2009. Both Europe and Asia made a positive
contribution.

The segment's earnings continued on a stable growth path, supported by volume
growth. The adverse impact of increasing raw material prices was largely offset
with a favorable product mix and successful cost containment.

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.

EUR million        Q1 2010 Q1 2009

Net sales             41.2    41.2

EBIT                   2.5     0.5

EBIT margin %          6.1     1.2

RONA % (12m roll.)    -0.6     5.7

Films segment's business was restructured and refocused during 2009. The
segment's net sales were on the same level as in the corresponding period in
2009 despite the divestment of the release paper business. Volumes, having
fallen throughout 2009, recovered by nearly twenty per cent in the reporting
period. The recovery in demand was most evident in the market for industrial
applications, although there is a better sentiment in the hygiene and health
care as well as in pressure sensitive markets.

The segment's earnings increase reflected its positive volume development. The
improvement in EBIT was further supported by good operational control and lower
cost base after restructuring and refocusing the business in 2009.

All manufacturing of the divested release paper business in Forchheim, Germany,
was transferred to the buyer, B. Laufenberg GmbH, by the end of the first
quarter of 2010.

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.

EUR million        Q1 2010 Q1 2009

Net sales            113.6   129.1

EBIT                   8.4    14.5

EBIT margin %          7.4    11.2

RONA % (12m roll.)    13.3    10.7


The segment's net sales decreased in the reporting period due to the exit of
certain segments of the plastics business and generally weak demand on soft
markets. Some recovery in sales performance was recorded in the end of the
reporting period. Currency translation had a further negative impact on the
segment's reported net sales compared to the corresponding period in 2009.

The earnings in the first quarter 2010 lag those of the corresponding period in
2009, primarily due to more expensive raw materials. Careful cost containment as
well as favorable price and product mix together with margin management efforts
mitigated some of this adverse impact.

The marketing and promotion actions related to Chinet® brand re-launch were
continued in the reporting period but with a lower level of expenditure than in
the fourth quarter of 2009.

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.

EUR million        Q1 2010 Q1 2009

Net sales             55.5    48.3

EBIT                   4.6     3.8

EBIT margin %          8.3     7.9

RONA % (12m roll.)    10.9     5.3


The segment's net sales increased compared to the corresponding period in the
previous year, mostly as a result of higher market demand and successful price
and product mix management.

Molded Fiber segment's earnings growth reflects good cost containment, efficient
operations and a favorable price and product mix.

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
Europe, Middle-East, Asia and Oceania.

EUR million        Q1 2010 Q1 2009

Net sales            106.0   104.5

EBIT                   3.5     2.4

EBIT margin %          3.3     2.3

RONA % (12m roll.)     7.4    -0.6


The segment's net sales were stable compared to the corresponding period in
2009. A minor decrease in volumes was more than compensated by a favorable
impact from currency translations.

The segment's EBIT was supported by good operational control and successful cost
containment.

Rigid Consumer Goods Plastics
Rigid plastic packaging is supplied to fresh food, dairy, ice cream and edible
fats manufacturers in Europe. The segment is under strategic review.

EUR million        Q1 2010 Q1 2009

Net sales             53.1    77.7

EBIT                   1.1     5.7

EBIT margin %          2.1     7.3

RONA % (12m roll.)     5.6   -59.3


The segment's net sales in the reporting period were lower than in the
corresponding period prior year due to the divestments completed in 2009.
Similarly, the impact of the divestments was reflected in a lower EBIT. More
expensive raw materials compressed the segment's margins.
The strategic review of the remaining operations is ongoing.


Financial review
The Group EBIT in the reporting period was EUR 31 million (EUR 35 million),
corresponding to an EBIT margin of 6.4% (6.9%).

The net financial items were EUR -4 million (EUR -9 million). Tax expense was
EUR 5 million (EUR 5 million).

The result for the reporting period was EUR 22 million (EUR 21 million) and the
earnings per share (EPS) were EUR 0.19 (EUR 0.18). The average number of
outstanding shares used in the EPS calculations was 101,023,681 (100,426,461)
excluding 4,847,089 (5,061,089) of the Company's own shares.

Balance sheet and cash flow
Free cash flow in the reporting period amounted to EUR 7 million (EUR 37
million). Capital expenditure was EUR 10 million (EUR 8 million).

Net debt was EUR 371 million (EUR 561 million) at the end of March 2010. This
corresponds to a gearing ratio of 0.50 (0.77).

Total assets on the balance sheet were EUR 1,877 million (EUR 1,930 million).


Personnel
The Group had 12,923 (14,294) employees at the end of March 2010.


Resolutions of Huhtamäki Oyj's Annual General Meeting of Shareholders
Huhtamäki Oyj's Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (AGM) was held in
Helsinki on March 24, 2010. The meeting adopted the Company's Annual Accounts
and the Consolidated Annual Accounts for 2009 and discharged the members of the
Company's Board of Directors and the CEO from liability. As proposed by the
Board of Directors, dividend for 2009 was set at EUR 0.38 per share compared
with EUR 0.34 paid for the previous year.

Eight members of the Board of Directors were elected for a term which lasts
until the end of the AGM following the election. To the Board of Directors were
re-elected Ms. Eija Ailasmaa, Mr. George V. Bayly, Mr. Rolf Börjesson, Ms.

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 in 2010 remain uncertain. 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.
