Results

Q2 of 2010 compared with Q2 of 2009

Sales for the second quarter of 2010 were EUR 2,216 million, 20% higher than 
the EUR 1,841 million in the second quarter of 2009. Sales increased due to 
higher deliveries across all of UPM's business areas.

EBITDA was EUR 353 million, 15.9% of sales (238 million, 12.9% of sales).

EBITDA improved noticeably from the same period last year. Higher delivery 
volumes in all of UPM's businesses and the inclusion of the acquired Uruguayan 
operations were the main contributors to the improvement.

Variable costs were higher than last year, even though energy and wood costs 
decreased slightly from last year. Fixed costs (comparable) were EUR 36 million 
higher than last year.

Changes in sales prices in euro terms reduced EBITDA by about EUR 30 million. 
The average paper price in euros decreased by approximately 3% from the same 
period last year. Plywood sales prices were slightly lower than last year. 
Average sales prices increased for sawn timber and label materials, as well as 
for electricity and pulp. In most business areas sales prices increased 
from the first quarter of 2010.

Operating profit was EUR 203 million, 9.2% of sales (8 million, 0.4% of sales). 
The operating profit excluding special items was EUR 199 million, 9.0% of sales 
(31 million, 1.7% of sales).

The increase in the fair value of biological assets net of wood harvested was 
EUR 31 million compared with EUR 10 million a year before.

The share of results of associated companies and joint ventures was EUR 8 
million (22 million negative). As of December 2009, Metsä-Botnia is no longer 
an associated company of UPM.

Profit before tax was EUR 181 million (loss of EUR 26 million) and excluding 
special items EUR 177 million (loss of EUR 3 million). Interest and other 
finance costs net were EUR 27 million (37 million). Exchange rate and fair 
value gains and losses resulted in a gain of EUR 4 million (3 million).

Income taxes were EUR 12 million (18 million positive). The impact on taxes 
from special items was EUR 14 million positive (3 million positive), including 
an income of EUR 15 million from estimated utilisation of tax credits in 
Poland.

Profit for the second quarter was EUR 169 million (loss of EUR 8 million) and 
earnings per share were EUR 0.33 (-0.02). Earnings per share excluding special 
items were EUR 0.29 (0.03).

January-June of 2010 compared with January-June 2009

Sales for January-June were EUR 4,255 million, 15% higher than the EUR 3,698 
million in the same period in 2009. Sales increased due to higher deliveries 
across all of UPM's business areas.

EBITDA was EUR 641 million, 15.1% of sales (366 million, 9.9% of sales).

EBITDA improved clearly from the same period last year. Higher delivery volumes 
in all of UPM's businesses and the inclusion of the Uruguayan operations, 
acquired in December 2009, were the main contributors to the improvement.

Variable costs were higher than last year, even though wood and energy costs 
were lower. Wood costs increased from the latter part of 2009, but were still 
approximately EUR 70 million lower than the peak levels of the comparison 
period. Energy costs decreased by about EUR 45 million.

Fixed costs (comparable) increased by about EUR 37 million from last year, 
mainly due to higher operating rates at UPM's production units, which reduced 
the need for temporary shutdowns.

Changes in sales prices in euro terms reduced EBITDA by about EUR 130 million. 
The average paper price in euros decreased by approximately 7% from the same 
period last year. Plywood sales prices were lower than last year. Average sales 
prices increased for sawn timber and label materials, as well as for external 
electricity and pulp sales.

Operating profit was EUR 310 million, 7.3% of sales (loss of EUR 87 million, 
-2.4% of sales). The operating profit excluding special items was EUR 315 
million, 7.4% of sales (loss of EUR 47 million, 1.3% of sales). Operating 
profit includes net restructuring charges of EUR 5 million (40 million) as 
special items.

The increase in the fair value of biological assets net of wood harvested was 
EUR 50 million compared with EUR 21 million a year before.

The share of results of associated companies and joint ventures was EUR 11 
million (75 million negative). As of December 2009, Metsä-Botnia is no longer 
an associated company of UPM.

Profit before tax was EUR 263 million (loss of EUR 188 million) and excluding 
special items EUR 268 million (loss of EUR 148 million). Interest and other 
finance costs net were EUR 53 million (95 million). Exchange rate and fair 
value gains and losses resulted in a gain of EUR 5 million (loss of EUR 6 
million).

Income taxes were EUR 24 million (22 million positive). The impact on taxes 
from special items was EUR 17 million positive (0 million), including an income 
of EUR 15 million from estimated utilisation of tax credits in Poland.

Profit for the period was EUR 239 million (loss of EUR 166 million) and 
earnings per share were EUR 0.46 (-0.32). Earnings per share excluding special 
items were EUR 0.44 (-0.24). Operating cash flow per share was EUR 0.60 (1.12).


Financing

In January-June cash flow from operating activities, before capital expenditure 
and financing, was EUR 311 million (580 million). Net working capital increased 
by EUR 242 million during the period (decreased by EUR 355 million), driven by 
the increase in business activity.

The gearing ratio as of 30 June 2010 was 55% (70% on 30 June 2009). Net 
interest-bearing liabilities at the end of the period came to EUR 3,837 million 
(4,036 million)

On 30 June 2010, UPM's cash funds and unused committed credit facilities 
totalled EUR 2.1 billion.


Personnel

In January-June, UPM had an average of 23,035 employees (24,043). At the 
beginning of the year, the number of employees was 23,213 and at the end of 
June it was 23,458. The number of employees decreased by around 800 from the 
beginning of the year, taking into account the around 1,000 seasonal workers in 
June.


Capital expenditure

During January-June, capital expenditure was EUR 85 million, 2.0% of sales (EUR 
133 million, 3.6% of sales).

The largest ongoing project is the rebuild of the debarking plant at the 
Pietarsaari mill in Finland. The total investment cost is estimated to be EUR 
25 million.


Shares

UPM shares worth EUR 4,499 million (3,086 million) in total were traded on the 
NASDAQ OMX Helsinki stock exchange during January-June of 2010. The highest 
quotation was EUR 12.00 in June and the lowest EUR 7.37 in February.

The company's ADRs are traded on the US over-the-counter (OTC) market under a 
Level 1 sponsored American Depositary Receipt programme.

The Annual General Meeting, held on 22 March 2010, authorised the Board of 
Directors to acquire no more than 51,000,000 of the company's own shares. The 
authorisation is valid for 18 months from the date of the decision.

The Board was authorised to decide on the issuance of shares and/or transfer 
the Company's own shares held by the Company and/or issue special rights 
entitling holders to shares in the Company as follows: (i) The maximum number 
of new shares that may be issued and the Company's own shares held by the 
Company that may be transferred is, in total, 25,000,000 shares. This figure 
also includes the number of shares that can be received on the basis of the 
special rights. (ii) The new shares and special rights entitling holders to 
shares in the Company may be issued and the Company's own shares held by the 
Company may be transferred to the Company's shareholders in proportion to their 
existing shareholdings in the Company, or in a directed share issue, deviating 
from the shareholder's pre-emptive subscription right. This authorisation is 
valid until 22 March 2013.

To date these authorisations have not been used.

The company has four option series that would entitle the holders to subscribe 
for a total of 18,000,000 shares. Share options 2005H may be subscribed for 
3,000,000 shares, and share options 2007A, 2007B and 2007C may be subscribed 
for a total of 15,000,000 shares. The 2007C options have not been distributed 
yet.

Apart from the above, the Board of Directors has no current authorisation to 
issue shares, convertible bonds or share options. 

The number of shares entered in the Trade Register on 30 June 2010 
was 519,970,088. Through the issuance authorisation and share options, 
the number of shares may increase to a maximum of 562,970,088.

At the end of the period, the company did not hold any of its own shares.

On 23 June 2010, BlackRock Inc. announced its ownership in UPM had declined 
below 5% of the company's shares and voting rights.


Litigation and other legal actions

In Finland, UPM is participating in the building project of a new nuclear power 
plant, Olkiluoto 3, through its associated company Pohjolan Voima Oy. Pohjolan 
Voima Oy is a majority shareholder of Teollisuuden Voima Oy ("TVO") with 58.28% 
of shares. UPM's indirect share of the capacity of the Olkiluoto 3 is 
approximately 29%. The original agreed timetable for the start-up of the power 
plant was summer 2009 but the construction of the unit has been delayed. In 
June 2010 the AREVA-Siemens Consortium announced that the majority of the work 
is expected to be completed in 2012 and electricity production at Olkiluoto 3 
is scheduled to start in 2013.

TVO has informed that the arbitration filed in December 2008 by AREVA-Siemens, 
concerning the delay at Olkiluoto 3 and related costs, amounted to EUR 1.0 
billion. In response, TVO filed a counterclaim in April 2009 for costs and 
losses that TVO is incurring due to the delay and other defaults on the part of 
the supplier. The value of TVO's counterclaim was approximately EUR 1.4 
billion.

The International Court of Justice published its final decision on a litigation 
against the government of Uruguay on 20 April 2010 in a dispute between the 
governments of Uruguay and Argentina. In Uruguay there are still two
litigations 
against the government of Uruguay and in Argentina one such litigation against 
the company operating the pulp mill.


Events after the balance sheet date

At the beginning of July, the Finnish Parliament voted on 
decisions-in-principle to build two new nuclear power plants in Finland. The 
voting was favourable for the fourth reactor of Teollisuuden Voima Oy ("OL4"). 
Through its associate company Pohjolan Voima Oy, UPM has an indirect share of 
the OL4 project about 30 %.

On 8 July 2010 UPM sold a conservation easement on 76,000 hectares of UPM-owned 
forest land in Northern Minnesota to the State of Minnesota Department of 
Natural Resources. UPM received USD 44 million for the easement and will record 
a pre-tax capital gain of USD 42 million in the Company's third quarter result.

Under the conservation easement, UPM retains ownership of the land and will 
continue to use it as a working forest.


Risk factors

Expected decisions on the proposed EU Energy Package have increased 
uncertainties on how the proposed policies and measures will impact the 
availability and cost of wood fibre for wood processing industries in Europe. 
At the same time, global competition for fibres has already created disruptions 
in fibre availability resulting in volatile price developments.


Outlook for the second half of 2010
Comparisons against the first half of the year

Economic recovery in Europe and Asia is expected to continue, while the US 
shows signs of a slower pace of recovery. Demand for consumer goods continues 
positive development particularly in emerging markets. In Europe, recovery of 
advertising expenditure in print media is expected to improve demand for 
graphic papers. Improved investment activity, including construction, is 
expected to have a slightly positive impact on demand for construction 
materials such as timber and plywood.

The electricity generation volume is estimated to be higher than during the 
first half of the year. Based on current forward sale agreements and Nordpool 
forward prices, the average sales price for electricity is estimated to be 
somewhat lower.

Chemical pulp price on average is expected to be higher while a moderate 
correction in market prices for both hardwood and softwood pulp is expected 
towards the end of the year. Deliveries are expected to be slightly higher.

The cost of procured wood will be clearly higher; both log and fibre wood 
prices have risen from the beginning of the year. Sawn timber deliveries are 
estimated to be higher but no material improvement in prices is expected.

Paper prices for the agreed deliveries during the second half are higher; UPM 
has increased prices practically in all new contracts. Based on the current 
good order book, paper deliveries are expected to be higher.

Demand growth for self-adhesive labelstock in the main markets is expected to 
continue, albeit at a more moderate pace. Prices are expected to be higher but
intense cost pressure will challenge current sales margins.

Plywood deliveries are expected to be slightly higher. Limited improvement in 
the business environment and prices is foreseen.

For the Group average sales prices in euro are expected to be higher. Volume 
development is positive across all businesses. A material increase in variable 
costs is expected; in addition to the cost of fibre, costs of various other raw 
materials are expected to increase. Operating profit excluding special items is 
estimated to be higher than in the first half of the year.

1) EBITDA is operating profit before depreciation, amortisation and impairment 
charges, excluding the change in value of biological assets and wood harvested, 
the share of results of associated companies and joint ventures, and special 
items.
2) In 2009, special items relate to impairments of associated company Pohjolan 
Voima's two power plants.


Q2 of 2010 compared with Q2 of 2009

Operating profit excluding special items was EUR 44 million, EUR 8 million 
higher than last year (36 million). Sales increased by 16% to EUR 116 million 
(100 million), of which EUR 35 million was external sales (24 million). The 
electricity sales volume was 2.3 TWh in the quarter (2.0 TWh).

Profitability improved compared with the same period last year, due to the 
higher electricity sales volume and average electricity sales price. The 
average electricity sales price increased by 3% to EUR 42.8/MWh (41.7/MWh). 
Hydropower volume was 27% higher in comparison with last year.

January-June 2010 compared with January-June 2009

Operating profit excluding special items was EUR 125 million, EUR 38 million 
higher than last year (87 million). Sales increased by 23% to EUR 290 million 
(236 million), of which EUR 129 million was external sales (73 million). The 
electricity sales volume was 4.7 TWh (4.5 TWh).

Profitability improved compared with the same period last year, due to the 
higher average electricity sales price and volume. The average electricity 
sales price increased by 20% to EUR 52.4/MWh (43.6/MWh). Hydropower volume was 
2% lower in comparison with last year.

Market review

The average electricity spot price on the Nordic electricity exchange in the 
first half of the year was EUR 52.1/MWh, 44% higher than in the same period 
last year (36.1/MWh) due to a poor hydrological situation and increased 
consumption.

Oil and coal market prices increased compared with the same period last year. 
The CO2 emission allowance price was EUR 15.3/t on 30 June, 11% higher than on 
the same date last year (13.8/t). In the first half of the year Nordic water 
reservoirs were 24% below their long-term average.

The electricity system forward price for the rest of the year on the Nordic 
electricity exchange was EUR 48.2/MWh on 30 June, 20% higher than on the same 
date last year (40.3/MWh).

3) In the balance sheet in the interim report for January-June, on 30 June 
2009, UPM has regrouped the 30% transferable share of Botnia's book value as 
assets held for sale. Consequently, from July 2009, UPM has not included the 
share of the transferable Botnia operations in the share of results of 
associated companies.

Q2 of 2010 compared with Q2 of 2009

As of December 2009, the Fray Bentos pulp mill and Forestal Oriental eucalyptus 
plantation forestry company in Uruguay have been included in the Pulp business 
area and Metsä-Botnia is no longer an associated company of UPM.

million). Sales increased to EUR 455 million (132 million) and deliveries to 
768,000 tonnes (391,000).

Profitability improved in comparison with last year due to higher average pulp 
sales prices and volumes.

January-June 2010 compared with January-June 2009

Operating profit excluding special items was EUR 246 million (loss of EUR 153 
million). Sales increased to EUR 796 million (271 million) and deliveries to 
1,468,000 tonnes (763,000).

Profitability improved noticeably from last year due to significantly higher 
pulp sales prices and volumes. Wood costs were lower.

Market review

In the first half of 2010, global chemical pulp market prices increased 
substantially due to tight market balance. The global chemical market pulp 
supply was reduced temporarily due to the earthquake in Chile, along with other 
occasional supply constrains. By the end of the first half of 2010, most of the 
Chilean capacity was back in operation. Global chemical pulp shipments 
increased from last year.

The average softwood pulp (NBSK) market price in euro terms, at EUR 678/tonne, 
was 52% higher than in the same period last year (EUR 446/tonne). At the end of 
the period the NBSK market price was EUR 794/ tonne.

The average hardwood pulp (BHKP) market price in euro terms increased by 57% 
from last year, to EUR 614/tonne (EUR 390/tonne). At the end of the period the 
BHKP market price was EUR 747/tonne.

the share of results of associated companies and joint ventures, and special 
items.
2) Special items of EUR 14 million including impairment charges of EUR 5 
million, in the fourth quarter of 2009 relate to restructuring of Timber 
operations in Finland. Special items for the second quarter of 2009 include 
impairment charges of EUR 8 million related to wood procurement operations. In 
the first quarter of 2009, special items of EUR 10 million relate to the sales 
loss of Miramichi's forestry and sawmilling operations' assets.

Q2 of 2010 compared with Q2 of 2009

Operating profit excluding special items was EUR 52 million (loss of EUR 10 
million). Sales increased by 27% to EUR 393 million (309 million). Sawn timber 
deliveries increased by 38% to 504,000 cubic metres (366,000).

The increase in the fair value of biological assets net of wood harvested was 
EUR 31 million (10 million). The increase in the fair value of biological 
assets (growing trees) was EUR 60 million (14 million). The cost of wood raw 
material harvested from the Group's own forests was EUR 29 million (4 million).

January-June 2010 compared with January-June 2009

Operating profit excluding special items was EUR 71 million (loss of EUR 18 
million). Sales increased by 5% to EUR 732 million (694 million). Sawn timber 
deliveries increased by 20% to 875,000 cubic metres (729,000).

Profitability improved from the same period last year, mainly due to higher 
average sawn timber prices and higher delivery volumes of timber goods.

The increase in the fair value of biological assets net of wood harvested was 
EUR 50 million (21 million). The increase in the fair value of biological 
assets (growing trees) was EUR 93 million (35 million). The cost of wood raw 
material harvested from the Group's own forests was EUR 43 million (14 
million).

Market review

During the first half of the year, wood purchases in the Finnish wood market 
increased significantly from the very low level in the same period last year. 
However, wood purchases still remained 14% below long term average purchasing 
volumes.

Wood market prices increased towards the end of the first half of 2010 being 
above the long-term average prices. In particular, log market prices for pine 
and spruce increased compared with the same period last year.

The European supply-demand balance of sawn softwood timber is still challenging 
although, in comparison with last year, slight improvement has been seen.

months from the depressed levels seen in the same period last year. Demand 
growth was strongest in Asia Pacific, Eastern Europe and Latin America, where 
demand is estimated to have exceeded pre-recession levels. In mature markets in 
Western Europe and North America demand recovered, but not to pre-recession 
levels.

Market review

In Europe, in January-June, plywood demand increased from last year. Market 
activity increased in the second quarter after a slow winter season. In spruce 
plywood supply to Europe was temporarily restricted by the earthquake in Chile. 
Construction activity continued at a low level.

The overall plywood market prices remained low during the first half of the 
year but price development turned positive in the second quarter.

Basis of preparation

This unaudited interim report has been prepared in accordance with the 
accounting policies set out in International Accounting Standard 34 on Interim 
Financial Reporting and in the Group's Consolidated Financial Statements for 
2009. Income tax expense is recognised based on the best estimate of the 
weighted average annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year.


The Group has adopted the following standard:

Amendment to IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements requires the 
effects of all transactions with non-controlling interests to be recorded in 
equity if there is no change in control and these transactions will no longer 
result in goodwill or gains and losses. The standard also specifies the 
accounting when control is lost. Any remaining interest in the entity is 
re-measured to fair value, and a gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss. 
The adoption of the amended standard has changed the name of previous minority 
interests to non-controlling interests, and in addition the adoption has 
amended the presentation of consolidated statement of changes in equity.


Calculation of key indicators

Return on equity, %: 
(Profit before tax - income taxes) / Total equity (average) x 100

Return on capital employed, %:
(Profit before tax + interest expenses and other financial expenses) /
(Total equity + interest-bearing liabilities (average)) x 100

Earnings per share:
Profit for the period attributable to equity holders of the parent company /
Adjusted average number of shares during the period excluding treasury shares
