Business review
In the second quarter, market demand for consumer packaging continued
stable in the mature markets and healthy in the emerging markets.
While overall demand was on a similar level to last year, the
increasing raw material prices require continuous efforts to pass the
cost pressure upstream as well as improve productivity. The prices
for the main raw materials remained on a high level during the
quarter, showing a clear increase compared to the average level of
the previous year.
Price/mix changes had a positive impact (+3%), while volume
development was moderate. These are not fully reflected in reported
net sales of EUR 606.1 million (+2%) due to unfavorable movement in
currency translations (-2%).
For the first half of the year, net sales was EUR 1,170.8 million
(+1%). The geographical distribution of sales was the following:
Europe 53% (52%), Americas 30% (32%) and Asia-Oceania-Africa 17%
(16%).

In Europe, sales growth within Consumer Goods segment was robust in
the Flexibles and Molded Fiber businesses in the second quarter,
while the Films business was impacted by the implementation of the
new enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform. The sales
performance in the Rigid business was varied with Germany and Eastern
Europe at the top end, while the UK was at the low end. Within
Foodservice segment, healthy sales growth was driven by success in
Eastern Europe. For the quarter, the reported net sales was EUR 320.3
million (+3%) with a positive impact from price/mix changes (+3%) and
a slight decline in volume (-1%).
The region's underlying EBIT was EUR 14.7 million (-26%),
corresponding to an EBIT margin of 4.6% (6.4%). This reflects margin
pressure experienced by continued increase in raw material costs as
well as temporarily weaker profitability of the Films business. The
reported EBIT was EUR 14.7 million. In the previous year the reported
EBIT of EUR 16.4 million included restructuring charges of EUR 3.5
million.
For the first half of the year, net sales was EUR 625.2 million
(+4%). The underlying EBIT of EUR 28.3 million (-16%) corresponded to
an EBIT margin of 4.5% (5.6%). The reported EBIT was 28.3 million
(EUR 26.7 million).

In the Americas, within Foodservice segment sales in Retail
stabilized at a good level in the second quarter. The new product
launches received a positive market reaction. Within Consumer Goods
segment, sales in the Frozen desserts category accelerated during the
quarter after a slower start to the year, while the reverse took
place in the Flexibles business. In South America, sales growth
picked up after a stable beginning of the year. For the quarter, the
positive impact from price/mix changes (+4%) more than compensated
for the slight decline in volume (-1%). The reported net sales of EUR
185.2 million (-3%) was depressed by currency translations (-6%).
The region's underlying EBIT was EUR 20.2 million (+3%),
corresponding to an EBIT margin of 10.9% (10.3%). This reflects
diligent price management and continued improvement in operational
efficiency.
For the first half of the year, net sales was EUR 348.9 million
(-5%). The underlying EBIT of EUR 38.7 million (+16%) corresponded to
an EBIT margin of 11.1% (9.1%).

In Asia-Oceania-Africa, sales performance within Consumer Goods and
Foodservice segments was robust during the second quarter. In
Oceania, sales growth was driven by the Rigid business where the
improvement seen already in the beginning of the year accelerated
during the second quarter. In Asia, volume growth remained favorable
driven by the Flexibles businesses in India and Thailand. For the
quarter, volume growth continued strong (+7%) and there was a
positive impact from price/mix changes (+2%). The reported net sales
of EUR 100.6 million (+10%) was boosted further by currency
translations (+1%).
The region's underlying EBIT was EUR 5.3 million (+29%),
corresponding to an EBIT margin of 5.3% (4.5%). This reflects margin
improvement in Oceania mitigated by start-up costs associated with
investments in new capacity.
For the first half of the year, net sales was EUR 196.7 million
(+6%). The underlying EBIT of EUR 11.0 million (+7%) corresponded to
an EBIT margin of 5.6% (unchanged).
Financial review
In the second quarter, the underlying EBIT before corporate items was
EUR 40.2 million (-8%), corresponding to an EBIT margin of 6.6%
(7.3%). Corporate net was EUR -4.5 million (EUR 9.6 million)
reflecting the significant reduction in royalty income as well as
higher corporate expenses.
The underlying Group EBIT was EUR 35.7 million (EUR 53.2 million),
corresponding to an EBIT margin of 5.9% (9.0%). The reported EBIT was
EUR 35.7 million. In the previous year the reported EBIT of EUR 49.8
million included restructuring charges of EUR 3.4 million.
At EUR -11.0 million (EUR -10.3 million), the increase in net
financial items was mainly due to higher interest rates and debt
level. The reported profit for the period was EUR 19.4 million (EUR
33.3 million), and EPS was EUR 0.19 (EUR 0.33).
For the first half of the year, the Group's underlying EBIT was EUR
73.4 million (-22%), corresponding to an EBIT margin of 6.3% (8.1%).
This reflects mainly a EUR 21.2 million reduction in corporate net.
The reported EBIT was 73.4 million. In the previous year the reported
EBIT of EUR 87.0 million included restructuring charges of EUR 7.1
million. Net financial items were EUR 20.2 million (EUR 18.4
million). The income tax expense was EUR 9.6 million (EUR 11.3
million), corresponding to a tax rate of 18.0% (16.4%). The reported
profit for the period was EUR 43.8 million (EUR 57.5 million), and
EPS was EUR 0.43 (EUR 0.57).
The average number of outstanding shares used in the EPS calculation
was 100,426,461 (98,810,850) excluding 5,061,089 (unchanged)
company's own shares.
On a rolling 12-month basis, the return on investment (ROI) was 9.1%
(9.5%) and return on equity (ROE) was 9.6% (11.2%).
Balance sheet and cash flow
In the end of the second quarter, free cash flow of EUR -6.3 million
(EUR 18.8 million) was impacted by an elevated level of working
capital. In addition, capital expenditure increased to EUR 31.5
million (EUR 27.3 million). For the first half of the year, free cash
flow was EUR -42.7 million (17.7 million) with capital expenditure of
EUR 57.1 million (EUR 46.0 million).
Net debt at the end of the second quarter was EUR 796.7 million (EUR
692.4 million), corresponding to a gearing ratio of 0.92 (0.85).
Major change programs and investments
Key priorities for this year include progress on earlier announced
change programs and development of growth platforms. During the
second quarter, it was decided that a new flexibles packaging
facility will be built close to the existing facility in Bangkok,
Thailand. The aim is to capture growth opportunities by supplying the
local and multinational food and consumer goods industry with
advanced flexibles packaging. According to the preliminary schedule
production at the new site will commence around mid 2008. The value
of the investment is approximately EUR 17 million.
With reference to the earlier announced programs, the exit from the
rigid packaging site in Göttingen, Germany, took place during the
quarter. The capacity expansion in Foodservice hot beverage cups in
several European units progressed and will be completed by year-end
2007. The new capacity added to the existing flexibles packaging
facility in Malvern, USA, is scheduled to be operational during the
second half of 2007. The relocation from Hong Kong, China, to the new
rigid packaging facility in Guangzhou, China, is expected to be
completed during the first quarter of 2008.
Additionally, reduction of working capital and targeted allocation of
capital expenditure will have a high priority during the second half
of the year.
Personnel
The Group had 15,129 (15,004) employees on June 30, 2007.
Changes in management
Timo Salonen was appointed as Chief Financial Officer with effect
from July 1, 2007. He succeeded Sakari Ahdekivi, who joins another
company.
Short-term risks and uncertainties
Volatile raw material and energy prices as well as movements in
currency translations are considered to be significant short-term
business risks and uncertainties in the Group's operations.
Outlook for 2007
A clear improvement is expected in the operational result, which
should largely balance out the significant reduction in corporate net
due to lower royalty income. The underlying EBIT for the full-year is
estimated to be close to the level of 2006. Increase in net financial
items and higher tax rate will have an impact on earnings.
Capital expenditure is expected to be somewhat lower than in 2006
with emphasis on organic growth investments.
