Huhtamäki Oyj - Company Announcement

Huhtamaki revises 2007 full-year result estimate downwards. The operational result around last year s level.

Huhtamäki Oyj Stock Exchange Release 10.10.2007 at 09.30

Huhtamäki Oyj is revising its estimate downwards for the full-year
2007. The operational result is now expected to be around the level
of 2006 (EUR 138.1 million). In the earlier outlook an improvement in
operational result was expected to compensate the announced,
significant reduction in corporate net. Consequently, the underlying
EBIT for the full-year is estimated to remain clearly below the level
of 2006 (EUR 157.6 million). Increase in net financial items and
higher tax rate will have an impact on earnings.

The reasons for the revised outlook are weakened volumes and
operational results in September as well as softer volume outlook in
the remainder of the year.

Measures are being taken to enhance improvement programs and to
adjust costs to meet the current volume levels.

Huhtamaki will publish its Q3 2007 interim report on October 25,
2007.
