Comments by President and CEO Erkki Järvinen"Our revenue growth during the review period was mainly boosted by changes in
foreign exchange rates. Our profitability also developed favorably. Though the
volume growth has been quite modest so far, the relatively high level of
consumer confidence and low market interest rates in our key markets form a
solid base for the demand of decorative paints in general. Our sales developed
favorably in all our market areas, with the exception of Central Eastern Europe,
where the tightened competitive situation in Poland hampered our sales volumes.
We are especially pleased with the good volume growth of our biggest market
area, the East.

We upgrade our full year 2010 outlook due to the good start of the year.
However, there are no visible signs of a strong recovery in our market
environment. The most significant short-term uncertainties in our industry are
related both to the availability and prices of our raw materials. The
consolidation development within the chemical industry has clearly decreased the
paint industry's sourcing alternatives.

Based on our strategy, our aim is to continuously make our operations more
efficient and unified. The new unified Tikkurila will be in an excellent
position to increase its market shares further as the market conditions improve.

During 2010, our capital expenditures have been focused on replacing and
maintaining the existing infrastructure. No short-term capacity-related
investment needs can be seen even though the demand would pick up further."

Tikkurila Oyj, Interim Report, January 1-June 30, 2010

This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34. The disclosed
information is unaudited except for the 2009 full year data. The figures in the
tables are independently rounded.

All forward-looking statements in this review are based on the management's
current expectations and beliefs about future events, and actual results may
differ from the expectations and beliefs such statements contain.

In case there are any discrepancies between the language versions of the interim
report, the Finnish version shall prevail.

Tikkurila's business activities are organized in four reportable segments, of
which Tikkurila uses the name Strategic Business Unit. Tikkurila's reporting
segments are SBU East, SBU Finland, SBU Scandinavia, and SBU Central Eastern
Europe. SBU East consists of Russia, Ukraine, Central Asian countries and
Belarus. SBU Finland covers Tikkurila's business in Finland. SBU Scandinavia
consists of Sweden, Denmark and Norway. SBU Central Eastern Europe consists of
the following countries: the Baltic countries, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia,
China, Germany, Hungary and Romania. Furthermore, this SBU is responsible for
export sales in approximately 20 additional countries that are not included in
the SBUs' operational areas.


Financial Performance in April−June 2010

Tikkurila Group's revenue for April-June 2010 totaled EUR 182.5 (162.4) million,
i.e. 12.3 percent (EUR 20.1 million) more than in the second quarter of 2009.
Exchange rate changes significantly contributed to the growth, while volume
growth remained moderate. Of the total growth, about EUR 12.3 million was based
on the foreign exchange rate translation effect, EUR 5.5 million on sales volume
increases and EUR 2.1 million on changes in the product mix and average sales
prices. Decorative paints generated about 86 percent and industrial coatings
about 14 percent of the total revenue for the second quarter of 2010.

Operating profit (EBIT) excluding non-recurring items for April−June 2010 was
EUR 28.4 (24.5) million, which equals 15.5 (15.1) percent of revenue. 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. The
relative profitability improved compared to the previous year, with only minor
changes in the geographical presence and product mixes.

The non-recurring items recognized in the second quarter of 2010 were related to
the following: Firstly, a Russian insurance compensation (EUR 1.5 million
positive impact on EBIT as well as cash flow) due to a court ruling on a fire
accident in 2006 at one of the Group's production sites, and secondly, a fine
set by Polish competition authorities (EUR 0.8 million negative impact on 2010
EBIT, with no immediate cash flow effect). The non-recurring cost 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 April-June 2010 was EUR 29.1 (22.1) million.

Net finance expenses for April-June totaled EUR 1.1 (3.3) million. Profit before
tax was EUR 27.9 (18.8) million. Taxes totaled EUR 7.4 (4.8) million,
representing an effective tax rate of 26.6 (25.6) percent. Earnings per share
were EUR 0.46 (0.32).

The revenue and profitability by reporting segments for the second quarter is
presented below.

Financial Performance in January−June 2010

Tikkurila Group's revenue for January-June 2010 totaled EUR 301.8 (273.6)
million, i.e. 10.3 percent (EUR 28.2 million) more than in the first half of
2009. Of the total growth, about EUR 20.5 million was based on the foreign
exchange rate translation effect, EUR 7.1 million on sales volume increases and
EUR 0.6 million on changes in the product mix and average sales prices.
Decorative paints accounted for about 85 percent, and industrial coatings for
about 15 percent, of the total revenue of the first half of 2010.

Operating profit (EBIT) excluding non-recurring items for January-June 2010 was
EUR 35.9 (28.6) million, which equals 11.9 (10.4) percent of revenue. The
non-recurring items were related to the second quarter of 2010 and 2009, and
have been described above.

Operating profit (EBIT) for January-June 2010 was EUR 36.6 (26.1) million. The
key factors contributing to the increase in euro-denominated EBIT relate to the
following: Firstly, variable cost level still being at reasonably low in the
first half, and secondly, benefits reaped from the rationalization program and
increased productivity. In addition, higher sales volumes and, to some extent,
exchange rate changes also had a positive impact on the result. The exchange
rate changes had a EUR 2.0 million positive impact on the operating profit.

Net finance expenses for January-June totaled EUR 2.8 (7.1) million. Profit
before tax was EUR 33.8 (19.0) million. Taxes totaled EUR 9.7 (5.6) million,
representing an effective tax rate of 28.6 (29.6) percent.  Earnings per share
were EUR 0.55 (0.30).

The revenue and profitability by reporting segments for the first year half is
presented below.

SBU East's revenue for April−June 2010 grew by 19.2 percent from the comparison
period and totaled EUR 64.3 (54.0) million. The increased revenue was mainly due
to exchange rate changes and increased sales volumes. The exchange rate changes
improved the revenue by EUR 4.8 million and sales volumes by EUR 3.9 million.
The demand picked up noticeably from the beginning of the year due to better
weather conditions, stronger consumer confidence and a positive overall
development of the economies in the region.

SBU East's operating profit (EBIT) excluding non-recurring items for April−June
2010 grew by 35.7 percent from the comparison period and totaled EUR 11.2 (8.3)
million. The operating profit was mainly improved by the lower relative share of
variable costs of the revenue, as compared to the previous year, as well as
increases in sales prices and volume. There were already some problems in the
availability of some key raw materials, which had an adverse effect on product
deliveries. In addition, the crisis in Kyrgyzstan hampered the sales in Central
Asia. The exchange rate changes improved the operating profit by EUR 0.6
million.

The non-recurring items recognized in the second quarter of 2010 were related to
a Russian insurance compensation, which had a positive effect of EUR 1.5 million
on SBU East's EBIT. There were no non-recurring items in the comparison period.

SBU East's revenue for January−June 2010 grew by 16.5 percent from the
comparison period and totaled EUR 92.7 (79.6) million. The increased revenue was
mainly due to exchange rate changes and increased sales volumes. The exchange
rate changes improved the revenue by EUR 7.2 million and sales volumes by EUR
4.5 million. The operating profit (EBIT) excluding non-recurring items for
January−June 2010 grew by 39.6 percent from the comparison period and totaled
EUR 11.2 (8.0) million. The operating profit was mainly improved by the positive
sales development and variable costs remaining at a relatively low level.

There are signs of the demand in SBU East's operating area shifting from economy
products to premium products, which indicates an improvement in consumer
purchasing power. SBU East employed new personnel during the second quarter due
to the reorganization and development activities in the production.

SBU Finland's revenue for April−June 2010 grew by 3.3 percent from the
comparison period and totaled EUR 34.5 (33.4) million. The improved revenue was
due to increased sales volume of mainly decorative paints. In addition, the
feedback for new product launches has been positive.

SBU Finland's operating profit (EBIT) excluding non-recurring items for
April−June 2010 grew by 9.9 percent from the comparison period and totaled EUR
7.9 (7.2) million. The improvement was mainly due to increased sales volumes and
lower fixed cost levels in comparison to the previous year.

SBU Finland's revenue for January−June 2010 grew by 1.8 percent and totaled EUR
63.7 (62.6) million. The improved revenue was due to increased sales volume. SBU
Finland's operating profit (EBIT) excluding non-recurring items for January−June
2010 grew by 23.3 percent from the comparison period and totaled EUR 12.7 (10.3)

SBU Scandinavia's revenue for April−June 2010 grew by 16.7 percent from the
comparison period and totaled EUR 53.6 (46.0) million. The increase was mainly
due to changes in exchange rates, the impact of which was EUR 5.2 million. In
addition, the favorable GDP development of the Scandinavian countries, as well
as improved consumer confidence had a positive effect on the development of
Tikkurila's sales volume and prices.

SBU Scandinavia's operating profit (EBIT) excluding non-recurring items in
April−June 2010 grew by 26.2 percent and totaled EUR 8.3 (6.6) million. The
improvement was mainly due to lower raw material costs than in the previous
year, as well as changes in the product mix. The exchange rate changes improved
the operating profit by EUR 0.6 million.

SBU Scandinavia's revenue for January−June 2010 grew by 13.7 percent from the
comparison period and totaled EUR 93.5 (82.2) million. The increase was mainly

SBU Central Eastern Europe's revenue for April−June 2010 grew by 3.1 percent
from the comparison period and totaled EUR 30.0 (29.1) million. The revenue
improvement was due to exchange rate changes.

SBU Central Eastern Europe's operating profit (EBIT) excluding non-recurring
items for April−June 2010 declined by 28.9 percent from the comparison period
and totaled EUR 2.3 (3.2) million. The profitability was hampered mainly by a
decline in sales volume, tightened price competition, as well as by a higher
fixed cost level than in the comparison period. The exchange rate changes had a
EUR 0.3 million positive impact on the EBIT.

The non-recurring items recognized in the second quarter of 2010 were related to
a fine set by Polish competition authorities, which had a negative effect of EUR
0.8 million on SBU East's EBIT. There were no non-recurring items in the
comparison period.

SBU Central Eastern Europe's revenue for January−June 2010 grew by 5.4 percent
from the comparison period and totaled EUR 51.9 (49.2) million. The revenue
improvement was due to exchange rate changes. SBU Central Eastern Europe's
operating profit (EBIT) excluding non-recurring items for January−June 2010
declined by 10.9 percent from the comparison period and totaled EUR 2.6 (2.9)
million. The profitability was hampered mainly by tightened price competition as
well as by higher fixed cost levels than in the comparison period.

A gradual recovery can be seen in the SBU Central Eastern Europe's operating
area after  a challenging start of the year, which was hampered especially by
fierce weather conditions and economic recession.

facility and a EUR 80 million revolving credit facility, both for a fixed three
year period with an extension option for a maximum of an additional two years.
Finally, during the second quarter, an additional EUR 5.0 million bank overdraft
facility has been put in place. At the end of June 2010 the Group had a total of

Legal Proceedings

On May 25, 2010 the Polish Office of Competition and Consumer Protection set a
fine of approximately PLN 9.3 million (equivalent to approximately EUR 2.2
million) on Tikkurila Oyj's Polish subsidiary Tikkurila Polska S.A. for breach
of competition law. The court decision was related to a case concerning
regulation of retail prices in Poland in 2000−2006, and the legal proceedings
commenced in 2007. Based on this ruling a non-recurring expense of EUR 0.8
million was recognized in the second quarter results. Tikkurila has appealed
against the decision.

During the second quarter of 2010, based on the Russian court ruling, a Russian
subsidiary of Tikkurila Group received an insurance payment of about EUR 1.5
million, related to an accident of fire in 2006. The insurance payment was
reported as a non-recurring income in its entirety for the second quarter
result.

The Group's Russian subsidiary OOO Tikkurila is currently engaged in a dispute
against the Russian company OOO Decolor in relation to "Finncolor" trademark. On
June 9, 2010 the Arbitration Court of St. Petersburg confirmed Tikkurila's
property right to the "Finncolor" trademark. OOO Decolor has appealed against
the decision.

On June 29, 2010, Tikkurila Coatings (Ireland) Ltd. and Permafix Construction
Solution Ltd. reached a settlement, which has insignificant financial impact, on
a legal dispute which was started in 2004.


Shares and Shareholders

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

According to Euroclear Finland Oy's register, Tikkurila had a total of 28,530
shareholders on June 30, 2010. A list of the largest shareholders is updated
regularly on Tikkurila's website at www.tikkurilagroup.com.

At the end of June, the closing price for the Tikkurila share was EUR 15.40. The
volume-weighted average share price for the review period (for the trading
period Mar 26-Jun 30) was EUR 15.68, the highest price being EUR 16.95, and the
lowest EUR 14.17. At the end of June, the market value of Tikkurila's shares,
valued at the closing price, was EUR 679.3 million. During January−June 2010
(Mar 26-Jun 30), a total of close to 8.1 million Tikkurila shares, which is
about 18.3 percent of the registered amount of shares, were traded on NASDAQ OMX
Helsinki Ltd, and the value of the traded volume was EUR 126.6 million.

Tikkurila's Extraordinary General Meeting ("EGM"), held on March 4, 2010,
authorized the Tikkurila Board of Directors of to decide on the repurchase of a
maximum of 4,410,825 treasury shares ("Repurchase authorization"). Based on this
authorization, the Tikkurila Board of Directors decided on its meeting held on
April 28, 2010, to acquire own shares and to grant those shares in order to
effect the payment of Board members' fees. The annual fee of the Board is paid
as a combination of the Company's shares and cash in such a manner that 40
percent of the annual fee is paid with the Company's shares purchased from the
market, and 60 percent is paid in cash. Based on these decisions, the Company
purchased 4,639 of its own shares from the market on May 10, 2010. The average
price of the purchased shares was EUR 15.52 per share, and the total cost was
EUR 71,983.77. The shares were transferred to the members of the Board by May
19, 2010.


Events after the Reporting Period

In August 10, 2010, the Board of Directors resolved to establish a Nomination
Committee, which will prepare the nomination and remuneration proposals to the
Annual General Meeting. The Nomination Committee shall consist of five members
being the representatives of the four largest shareholders of Tikkurila Oyj as
of August 31, 2010 and the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Tikkurila Oyj
who is acting as an expert member. The expert member shall not have the right to
participate in the decision making.


Short-term Business Risks and Uncertainties

In addition to the risk factors highlighted earlier in the interim report
published at the end of April for the first quarter of 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 for paint production has become
more difficult and there are pressures to increase the raw material prices.
Therefore, the short-term risks have increased, and could have a major adverse
effect on the Group's financial performance, if and when customer demand cannot
be fully met, or if additional resources have to be spent on finding alternative
raw materials to replace those in tight demand, or if the average unit cost of
the raw materials would increase because of changes in the supply-demand
equilibrium. Moreover, as there are changes in regulatory environment, for
example due to the REACH regulation, the Group may have to restructure its
product portfolio.

Competitive positions can change rapidly in the paint industry, and since there
has been some recent corporate activity in the paint industry in Scandinavia,
the relative competitiveness of the Group can change even due to the actions of
other players in the industry.


Outlook for 2010

The most significant part of Tikkurila's revenue and operating profit is accrued
during the second and the third quarter of the year. A great majority of the
revenue improvement for the second quarter was due to exchange rate changes. The
operating profit increased mainly due to a lower variable costs share of the
revenue than in the previous year. In addition, volume growth and exchange rate
changes contributed to the result improvement.

The markets of Tikkurila's operating area seem to be recovering slowly from the
recession. Consumer confidence has strengthened, although the employment
situation remains relatively weak. In addition, the new construction production
activity is picking up. Despite the good start of the year there are no visible
signs of a strong recovery. Furthermore, the poor availability of raw materials
and possible price increases may hamper Tikkurila's profitability towards the
year-end.

Tikkurila upgrades its outlook for the full year 2010 due to the good start of
the year. 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.

Previous outlook for 2010:
In 2010, Tikkurila's revenue and operating profit (EBIT) excluding non-recurring
items are expected to remain at the same level as in 2009. The revenue and
operating profit estimates do not take into consideration possible effects from
exchange rate fluctuations.

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.
