Managing Director's comments:

“The measures implemented in the programme to centralise Group
functions and improve profitability improved the company's
profitability as planned during the third quarter.

In Finland, consumer interest in our fireplace products clearly
increased. After last winter's ‘shock phase', consumers have once
again started to plan and implement building projects. In Finland
operations are focused on the further development of the
distribution network and services.

The autumn season for fireplace sales is late in Central Europe.

Long-term demand for lining stone is helping to widen the customer
base.

Demand for natural stone products has been clearly weaker than it
was the previous year.

The company's profitability will further improve as the market
conditions develop positively.”

Segment reporting
Since the beginning of 2009, the Group's operating segments have
been the Fireplaces Business and the Natural Stone Products
Business. The Fireplaces Business includes soapstone and ceramic
fireplaces sold under the Tulikivi and Kermansavi brands, their
accessories, utility ceramics and fireplace lining stones. The
Natural Stone Products Business includes interior decoration stone
products for households and stone deliveries to construction
sites. Expenses not allocated to a Segment are included under
Other items, which also includes financial costs and taxes.

Net sales and result
The net sales of the Tulikivi Group were EUR 37.5 million (EUR
48.2 million in January - September 2008). The net sales of the
Fireplaces Business was EUR 33.4 (42.1) million and of the Natural
Stone Business EUR 4.1 (6.1 million). The decrease in the net
sales of the Fireplaces Business was mainly a result of declining
sales of fireplaces in Finland and its neighbouring regions.

Exports accounted for EUR 18.9 (21.5) million, or 50.4 (44.5) per
cent, of total net sales. Finnish sales were 18.6 (26.7) million.
The largest countries for exports were France, Germany and
Belgium.


At the operating profit level, the Group posted a loss of EUR -2.7
(+1.9) million. In accordance with the Group's segment reporting,
the Fireplaces Business had an operating result of EUR -0.3 (+4.0)
million, and the Natural Stone Products Business an operating
result of EUR 0.0 (0.4) million, while other items' expenses were
EUR -2.4 (-2.5) million. The results for the Fireplaces Business
were weakened by almost EUR 1 million in expenses arising from
recognising a restructuring provision and by a write-down of EUR
0.2 million associated with the Kermansavi brand utility ceramics
unit in the second quarter. The Group's result before taxes was
EUR -3.5 (+1.2) million and net losses were EUR -2.8 million
(+0.9) million. Earnings per share were EUR -0.08 (0.02).


At the beginning of the year the Group launched a programme to
centralise functions and improve profitability. The
codetermination negotiations concluded in March led to 79
redundancies and 41 layoffs until further notice. The
restructuring provision mentioned above, of which EUR 0.7 million
has been used, was recognised for these measures. In addition to
the restructuring provision, the restructuring will also result in
approximately EUR 0.2 in further non-recurring expenses, which
will be recorded in future periods.

The Group's third-quarter sales were EUR 13.5 million (EUR 16.6
million in July-September 2008). Result before taxes was EUR 0.4
(1.0) million.

Financing and investments
Cash flow from operating activities before investments was EUR -
0.6 (+3.3 million). The Group's net financial expenses were EUR
0.8 (0.7) million. The equity ratio was 40.8 per cent (43.5 per
cent at 30 September 2008). The ratio of interest bearing net debt
to equity, or gearing, was 77.4 (66.9) per cent. The current ratio
was 1.7 (1.7). The equity per share amounted to EUR 0.63 (0.72).
The Group has a solid financial position. At the end of the review
period, the Group's cash assets were EUR 4.7 million (4.0) and
undrawn credit facilities and unused credit limits amounted to EUR
9 million.
The Group's investments in production, quarrying and development
were EUR 1.5 (1.8) million during the period. Research and
development costs were EUR 1.0 (1.1) million. EUR 0.2 million of
this amount was capitalized in the balance sheet. Combustion
researchs and product conceptualisation have been continued in
development operations.

Personnel
The Group employed an average of 419 (569) people during the
reporting period. Salaries and bonuses totalled EUR 11.6 (12.7)
million.

The Tulikivi Group has an incentive plan that includes a share-
based incentive plan for the managing director and key personnel
and an incentive pay scheme for all personnel.
The  share-based incentive system was introduced in 2008  and  has
three earning periods, which are the calendar years 2008, 2009 and
2010.  The maximum reward is 360 000 Tulikivi Corporation A shares
and  a cash payment corresponding to the value of the shares.  The
realized  reward from the plan for the earning period 2008  was  9
800  A shares. A similar transfer of shares to key personnel  took
place in the review period.
The maximum share reward for 2009 is 175 000 A shares and a cash
payment corresponding to the value of the shares. A maximum of 40
000 A shares of this can go to the managing director. The share
reward is based on the of the Group's profit after financial items
and cash flow from operations.
The incentive pay scheme is based on of the Group's result and on
the improvement of productivity, and the managing director and key
persons also have personal targets in addition to this.

Resolutions of the Annual General Meeting
Dividends
Tulikivi Corporation´s Annual General Meeting, held on 31 March
2009, resolved to pay a dividend of EUR 0.0280 on Series A shares
and EUR 0.0263 on Series K shares. The dividend was paid out on 14
April 2009.


Board of Directors, Managing Director and Auditors
Tulikivi Corporation's Annual General Meeting elected to the Board
of Directors of the parent company and domestic business
subsidiaries: Bishop Ambrosius, Juhani Erma, Eero Makkonen, Markku
Rönkkö, Maarit Toivanen-Koivisto, Heikki Vauhkonen and Matti
Virtaala. The Board of Directors elected Matti Virtaala as
Chairman from amongst its members. The auditor is KPMG Oy Ab,
Authorized Public Accountants, Helsinki.

Authorisation to repurchase the company's own shares
The Annual General Meeting authorised the Board to acquire the
company's own shares as proposed by the Board.

Authorisation to decide on share issues and on transfer of the
company's own shares in the possession of the company and the
right to issue special rights which give entitlement to shares as
defined in Chapter 10, Article 1, of the  Companies Act
The Annual General Meeting authorised the Board of Directors to
decide on issuing new shares and the transfer of the company's own
shares in the possession of the company as proposed by the Board.
The authorization also includes the right to issue special rights,
as defined in Chapter 10, Article 1, of the Companies Act, which
entitle to subscribe for shares against payment or by setting off
the receivable.


Treasury shares
At the beginning of the period Tulikivi Corporation held a total
of 74 000 and at the end of the period it held 124 200 of its own
A series shares. During the period a further 60 000 A series
shares in total were purchased at a total acquisition price of EUR
43 875, and 9 800 A series shares were assigned to key personnel
according to the share-based incentive plan. During the period the
average purchase price was EUR 0.73 per share. The purchase price
was the share price at the time of purchase, which varied between
EUR 0.68 - 0.83 per share during the purchase periods. The book
value of the assigned shares was EUR 13 212 and the value for
recipients was EUR 9 979, i.e. EUR 1.02 per share on average. The
repurchased shares account for 0.2 per cent of all shares and 0.05
per cent of votes carried by shares. The number of shares in the
company's possession at the end of the period was 124 200 A shares
which corresponds to 0.3 per cent of the company's share capital
and 0.1 of all voting rights.
The repurchase of own shares and their partial assignment had no
material impact on the division of shareholdings and voting rights
in the company.
The shares are repurchased for use as consideration in corporate
acquisitions or other structural arrangements or to implement the
share-based incentive system, to pay a share-based incentive or
otherwise to be transferred or cancelled.


Risks and uncertainties

Sudden changes in the economy, a significant decline in consumer
prices for energy and changes in state subsidies or regulations
would weaken demand for fireplaces. The Group's near-term risks
mainly relate to the decline in demand for fireplace products.

According to the Group's long-term risk assessment, its strategic
risks concern, but are not limited to, changes in the Group's
operating environment, market situation and market position, and
risks related to raw material reserves and legislative amendments.
Operational risks are related to products, distribution channels
and processes. For more information, see the 2008 Annual Report.


Future outlook
Housing construction is still at a low level in many market-areas,
but private house building is starting to increase in Finland. Net
sales for the financial period are expected to fall well below
that of last year. The centralisation and productivity improvement
programme that is underway in the company will improve
profitability in the latter half of the year. The result for the
year will be in the red in spite of the improvement in
profitability.

The order books at the end of the review period amounted to EUR
6.0 (7.2 on 30 September 2008 and 4.9 on 31 December 2008).

The strategic objectives set for the Tulikivi Group are: annual
organic growth of 5 per cent in the long term, return on
investment of over 20 per cent and the improvement of relative
profitability by two percentage points per year. Sales growth,
return on investment and the improvement of profitability will
fall short of these objectives during the current year, mainly due
to the decline in demand.
