Kemira´s President and CEO Harri Kerminen:"Kemira delivered a solid quarter again and I am pleased with the robust
profitability and growth. Organic revenue growth was 7% compared to the third
quarter last year driven by increased volumes in Paper and Oil & Mining
segments. Revenue was also positively affected by exchange rate fluctuations.

Operating profit from continuing operations, excluding non-recurring items,
improved 9% in the third quarter and year-to-date 32%. During the third quarter
margins improved significantly in Paper and Oil & Mining segments, but decreased
in Municipal & Industrial segment due to higher raw material prices.

We are continuously looking for new investment opportunities that support our
water chemistry focused strategy and during the third quarter we made very good
progress. We announced the establishment of a new manufacturing facility in
China and signed a joint venture agreement with Promoters of IVRCL in India both
of which will strengthen our presence in the Asia Pacific area. We started a
strategic cooperation with Outotec to develop mining industry applications in
water treatment. In Canada, we started the research cooperation with the
University of Alberta to focus on sustainable water use. We acquired an
industrial water business in the UK focusing on the oil & gas industry and a
municipal & industrial water treatment business in North America, and finalized
the FWA paper chemical business divestment in Germany.

As a result of improved demand among our customers and firm cost control we are
after just nine months close to last year's operating profit, excluding non-
recurring items. We estimate the whole year operating profit, excluding non-
recurring items, to be significantly higher compared to last year."

Income from associated companies was EUR 6.8 million (-5.6).

Profit before tax improved to EUR 115.0 million (59.5) mainly due to higher
operating profit and income from associated companies.

Net profit from continued operations attributable to the owners of the parent
company doubled to EUR 87.2 million (43.5) and earnings per share from
continuing operations increased to EUR 0.58 (0.33).

Financial position and cash flow

Cash flow from operating activities in January-September 2010 amounted to EUR
79.4 million (226.8). Cash flow includes Tikkurila until March 25, 2010.
Compared to last year, cash flow was adversely affected by the separation of
Tikkurila in the first quarter, as well as the increase of net working capital
connected to the growth of revenue. Cash flow after investments amounted to EUR
141.2 million (175.3). Cash flow from investing activities includes the loan
repayment from Tikkurila as well a cash and cash equivalents transferred to
Tikkurila, and the effect of the transfer tax related to Tikkurila's listing
(EUR 119.3 in total). The cash flow effect of capital expenditures was EUR -78.0
million (-54.1) including acquisitions.

At the end of the period the Group's net debt stood at EUR 559.4 million
(December 31, 2009: EUR 675.6 million). The decrease in net debt was mainly due
to the separation of Tikkurila that had an effect of approximately EUR 160
million. Currency exchange rate fluctuations increased net debt by approximately
EUR 22 million.

At the end of the period, interest-bearing liabilities stood at EUR 658.1
million (December 31, 2009: 950.2). Fixed-rate loans accounted for 75% of total
interest-bearing loans (December 31, 2009: 70%). The average interest rate on
the Group's interest-bearing liabilities was 4.4% (5.1%). At the end of
September, the duration of the Group's interest-bearing loan portfolio was 16
months (December 31, 2009: 19 months).

The unused amount of the EUR 500 million revolving credit facility that falls
due in 2012 was EUR 453 million at the end of the period. Short-term liabilities
maturing in the next 12 months amounted to EUR 164.8 million with repayments of
long-term loans representing EUR 158.1 million. At the end of September there
were no outstanding commercial papers issued on the Finnish markets. Cash and
cash equivalents totalled EUR 98.7 million on September 30, 2010. Based on its
current structure, it is expected that the Group will not encounter any
significant refinancing needs in 2010, since the current loan arrangements cover
its financing needs. The terms of the revolving credit facility and other major
bilateral loan arrangements require that the Group's equity ratio must be above
25%.

At the end of the period, the equity ratio stood at 52% (December
31, 2009: 45%), while gearing was 43% (December 31, 2009: 53%). Shareholders'
equity decreased by approximately EUR 70 million due to the separation of
Tikkurila. The net impact of currencies on shareholders' equity was
approximately EUR 49 million.

In January-September, the Group's net financial expenses were EUR 20.7 million
(27.3). Net financial expenses decreased from the corresponding period in 2009,
mainly due to lower debt and lower market rate levels.

In October, Kemira and the Nordic Investment Bank (NIB) signed EUR 40 million
loan with maturity of 7 years.

Capital expenditure

Gross capital expenditure in January-September, excluding acquisitions, amounted
to EUR 49.7 million (50.5). Gross capital expenditure of continuing operations,
excluding acquisitions, totalled EUR 47.5 million (39.5). New business
opportunity investments represented around 40% (0) of gross capital investments,
expansion investments around 12% (33%), improvement investments around 24%
(33%), and maintenance investments around 24% (34%). The depreciation of
continuing operations amounted to EUR 72.7 million (76.3). Cash flow from the
sale of assets in continuing operations was EUR 20.9 million (2.4) in January-
September.

Research and Development

In continuing operations, research and development expenditure in January-
September was EUR 30.8 million (28.0) i.e. 2.1% (2.1%) of all operating
expenses.

In March, Kemira and VTT announced establishment of a major water research
center in Finland. The total cost of the research, which will be performed at
the centre, is estimated at EUR 120 million, including external funding. The
investments are allocated over a period of 4 years, resulting in further
investment activities in projects for piloting and proof of concept purposes.
The centre will employ approximately 200 persons annually.

From the beginning of 2010, about 40% of the projects forming the water research
program were initiated and new strategic partners (customers and other
technology suppliers) are joining the program.

During the third quarter, Kemira and Outotec Oyj signed a strategic cooperation
agreement to develop, promote and support the companies' businesses in mining
applications and oil sands processing as well as associated industrial water
treatment solutions. As part of this cooperation, Kemira joined an industrial
research program of the University of Alberta, which aims to foster sustainable
water use in Canadian oil sands extraction. Kemira collaborates with Outotec as
well as with Suncor Energy Services, the Government of Canada and the Alberta
Water Research Institute.

Human Resources

The number of Kemira Group employees at the end of the period was 4,985
(September 30, 2009: 8,561). The number of personnel declined mainly due to the
separation of Tikkurila.

* 12-month rolling average

Third quarter

The Paper segment's revenue rose 13% to EUR 259.9 million (230.2). The demand
for packaging board improved and more specifically, the sales volumes increased
in Asia and North America. The demand for magazine paper as well as newsprint
has been recovering and has increased the demand for our products. Pulp demand
has been at the same level as in the previous quarter. The exchange rate effects
had a EUR 18 million positive impact on revenue.

Operating profit, excluding non-recurring items, increased 39% to EUR 20.5
million (14.8). The operating profit, excluding non-recurring items, margin rose
to 7.9% (6.4%). Sales volumes increased while the costs were about EUR 7 million
lower  than in the corresponding period last year.

Nine-month period

exchange rate fluctuations effected revenues positively by approximately EUR 38
million. Operating profit, excluding non-recurring items, increased 78% to EUR
54.0 million (30.3). The margin rose to 7.3% (4.5%), resulting from both, higher
sales volumes and EUR 35 million lower variable costs. Exchange rates had a
slightly positive effect on the result.

Third quarter

The Municipal & Industrial segment's revenue increased 5% to EUR 164.0 million
(155.5). Overall volumes were higher than last year, but the average sales
prices decreased and especially in the US region. The exchange rate effects had
a EUR 12 million positive impact on revenue. Volumes were slightly higher than a
year ago in the municipal water treatment business but somewhat lower sales
prices offset the positive effect. In the industrial water treatment business
the volumes continued to increase, especially in Europe.

Operating profit, excluding non-recurring items, declined 42% to EUR 14.5
million (24.9). Operating profit, excluding non-recurring items, was slightly
lower than in the previous quarter due to higher raw material prices. The
decline compared to third quarter last year was mainly due to exceptionally high
average sales prices in the third quarter 2009 that were still affected by the
record high raw material prices at the end of 2008. Exchange rates had a
slightly positive effect on the result.

Nine-month period

The segment's revenue was EUR 476.1 million (466.9). The average price decreased
in some products as a result of a decreased raw material prices seen in 2009.
The sales volumes grew by about 5%. The exchange rate effect increased the
revenue by about EUR 26 million. Operating profit, excluding non-recurring
items, was EUR 46.8 million (53.5) and the margin was 9.8% (11.5%). Costs were
about EUR 13 million lower than in the same period a year ago. Exchange rates
had a slightly positive effect on the result.

Third quarter

The Oil & Mining segment's revenue rose 43% to EUR 80.2 million (56.0). Overall
sales volumes rose significantly from the corresponding period in 2009. Demand
has been stronger for water treatment chemicals in both, the oil and gas
markets, and mining markets.

Operating profit, excluding non-recurring items, more than doubled to EUR 8.8
million (3.5) and the margin rose to 11.0% (6.3%). In addition to the increase
in sales volumes, the profit was improved by higher average sales prices of
products. Costs increased by some EUR 6 million compared to the corresponding
period in 2009.

Nine-month period

The segment's revenue rose by 36% to EUR 224.9 million (165.6). The average
sales prices of products were above the prior year. The sales volumes grew by
about 26%. The exchange rate effect increased revenue by about EUR 5 million.
Operating profit, excluding non-recurring items, increased to EUR 22.1 million
(8.7) and the margin to 9.8% (5.3%). Costs increased by EUR 7 million compared
to the corresponding period in 2009. Exchange rates had no significant effect on
the result.

Other

The Other segment consists of specialty chemicals such as organic salts and
acids and the Group expenses not charged to the segments (some research and
development costs and the costs of the CEO Office).
The demand of specialty chemicals developed well during the period. Products are
delivered mainly to the food industry, feed industry and pharmaceutical
industry, as well as for airport runway de-icing.

Separation of Tikkurila

Trading with Tikkurila Oyj's share began on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Oy on March
26, 2010 when Tikkurila was separated from Kemira Oyj.

On March 16, 2010 Kemira's Annual General Meeting decided that each of the four
Kemira's shares entitle their holder to receive one share of Tikkurila as a
dividend. In total, Kemira distributed a total of 37,933,097 Tikkurila shares as
dividend to its shareholders which corresponds with 86% of Tikkurila's shares
and votes. Kemira continues to hold a 14% minority share in Tikkurila. The
taxation value and purchase price for the Tikkurila shares distributed as
dividend is the volume-weighted average price of the shares on the first trading
day, March 26, 2010, which was EUR 15.80.

Kemira Oyj's shares and shareholders

On September 30, 2010, Kemira Oyj's share capital was EUR 221.8 million and the
number of shares was 155,342,557. At the end of September, Kemira owned
3,601,610 own shares (December 31, 2009: 3,854,771), which corresponds to 2.3%
(December 31, 2009: 2.5%) of Kemira Oyj's shares.
The highest share price of Kemira Oyj's shares on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Oy in
January-September was EUR 11.09 and the lowest was EUR 8.52. The average share
price was EUR 9.78. The company's market value less the shares held by Kemira
was EUR 1,531.1 million at the end of September.

Acquisitions and divestitures

On July 1, 2010, Kemira closed the IPOS (Industry Park of Sweden AB) deal. The
deal according to which Kemira sold IPOS to Coor Service Management AB was
announced on May 24.

On August 2, 2010, Kemira announced that it had closed a deal with Albemarle to
acquire the legal entity located in Teesport, Middlesbrough, United Kingdom. The
site employs approximately 30 persons.

On September 6, 2010, Kemira announced that it had acquired Water Elements, LCC,
through its North American subsidiary Kemira Water Solution Inc. Water Elements,
LLC, started its operations in 2007 and has one production plant in Baltimore,
Maryland, USA and in 2009 had a revenue of approximately USD 10 million (EUR 7
million).

On September 30, 2010, Kemira closed the Blankophor GmbH & Co. KG (German Catec
GmbH) deal announced on June 23, 2010. Kemira sold its global Fluorescent
Whitening Agents (FWAs) business to Blankophor. The transaction does not have
any significant impact on Kemira´s financial figures.

Other events during the review period

On September 3, 2010, Kemira signed a strategic cooperation agreement with
Outotec Oyj to develop, promote and support the companies' businesses in mining
applications and oil sands processing as well as associated industrial water
treatment solutions. This cooperation utilizes the research programs of SWEET,
the center of Water Efficiency Excellence, which Kemira established together
with VTT (Technical Research Center of Finland) in March, 2010.

On September 7, 2010, Kemira announced that it will establish a manufacturing
facility in Nanjing, China to enhance customer service in the growing Chinese
water treatment markets. The investment is expected to be at EUR 25 million. The
facility will be a state of the art regional production hub for a range of
specialty process chemicals serving all of Kemira's customer segments. The
facility will be 100% owned by Kemira, and is expected to be operational in
2012.

On September 7, 2010, Kemira announced that it had agreed to form a joint
venture with the Promoters of IVRCL in India. Kemira also informed that it will
form a strategic alliance with Hindustan Dorr-Olivar (HDO) and IVRCL to serve
Indian water treatment markets. The joint venture will include an inorganic
coagulant manufacturing facility and it will be constructed in Vishakapatnam
(Vizg) in the state of Andhra Pradesh in India. The manufacturing facility is
expected to be operational during the second half of 2011. The joint venture is
51% owned by Kemira and 49% by the Promoters of IVRCL. The joint venture and
supply agreements included in the strategic alliance are not expected to have a
significant short-term financial impact on Kemira.

On September 7, 2010 Kemira changed its financial targets. Growth in revenue is
expected to be more than 3% in mature markets and more than 7% in emerging
markets. Gearing is expected to be lower than 60%. Operating profit margin
target of above 10% and cash flow after CAPEX and dividend target remained
unchanged.

Short-term risks and uncertainties

Kemira's main short-term risks and uncertainties are connected to raw material
availability and prices.

Substantial fluctuations in the world market prices of electricity and oil are
reflected in Kemira's financial results, via raw material prices and logistics
costs.

Introduction of REACH legislation may decrease the available raw material
options and thus increase our raw material costs. REACH registration of Kemira's
own products may also be more expensive than estimated, especially if we are
unable to share the costs with other companies. Acrylamide, boric acid, borates
and sodium dichromate have been added to the list of candidates for
authorization under REACH. If acrylamide, which Kemira uses as a raw material
for polymers, will be added to the list of substances subject to authorization
under REACH, this would make its use more difficult. Boric acid, borates and
sodium dichromate are mainly used in the production of pulp chemicals in
Finland.

Changes in the exchange rates of key currencies can affect Kemira's financials.

A detailed account of Kemira's risk management principles and organization is
available on the company website at http://www.kemira.com. An account of
financial risks is available in the Notes to the Financial Statements 2009.
Environmental and hazard risks are discussed in Kemira's environmental report.

Outlook

Kemira's goal is to be a leading water chemistry company. Implementation of
Kemira's water strategy has progressed well and the company has improved its
profitability significantly and strengthened the balance sheet. Kemira will
continue to focus on improving profitability and reinforcing positive cash flow,
and the company will also increase its actions to boost growth.

The basis for growth is the expanding water chemicals markets and Kemira's
strong know-how in water quality and quantity management. Increasing water
shortages, tightening legislation and customers' needs to increase operational
efficiency create opportunities for Kemira to develop new water applications for
both new and current customers. Investment in research and development is a
central part of Kemira's strategy. The focus of Kemira's R&D activities is on
the development and commercialization of new innovative technologies both
globally and locally.

During the current year, Kemira expects the demand to develop favorably as our
customers' demand is getting stronger. Operating profit from continuing
operations, excluding non-recurring items, is expected to grow significantly
from last year (2009: EUR 124.9 million).

Kemira had in its possession 3,601,610 of its treasury shares
on September 30, 2010. The average share price of treasury
shares was EUR 6.73 and they represented 2.3% of the share
capital and the aggregate number of votes conferred by all
shares. The aggregate par value of the treasury shares is EUR
5.1 million.



The capital paid-in in excess of par value is a reserve
accumulating through subscriptions entitled by the Management
stock option program 2001 and is based on the Finnish
Companies Act (734/1978), which does no longer change.
According to IFRS, the Fair Value reserve is a reserve
accumulating based on available-for-sale financial assets
(shares) measured at fair value and hedge accounting. Other
reserves are required by local legislation. The unrestricted
equity reserve includes other equity type investments and the
subscription price of shares to the extent that it will not,
based on a specific decision, be recognized in share capital.

Litigation



On August 19, 2009, Kemira Oyj received a summons
stating that Cartel Damage Claims Hydrogen Peroxide SA
(CDC) had filed an action against six hydrogen peroxide
manufacturers, including Kemira, for violations of
competition law applicable to the hydrogen peroxide
business. In its claim, Cartel Damage Claims Hydrogen
Peroxide SA seeks an order from the Regional Court of
Dortmund in Germany to obtain an unabridged and full
copy of the decision of the European Commission, dated
May 3, 2006, and demands that the defendants, including
Kemira, are jointly and severally ordered to pay damages
together with accrued interest on the basis of such
decision.



Cartel Damage Claims Hydrogen Peroxide SA states that it will
specify the amount of the damages at a later stage after the full
copy of the decision of the European Commission has been obtained by
it. In order to provide initial guidance as to the amount of such
damages, Cartel Damage Claims Hydrogen Peroxide SA presents in its
claim a preliminary calculation of the alleged overcharge having
been paid to the defendants as a result of the violation of the
applicable competition rules by the parties which have assigned and
sold their claim to Cartel Damage Claims Hydrogen Peroxide SA. Such
alleged overcharge, together with accrued interest until December
31, 2008, is stated to be approximately EUR 641.3 million. The
process is currently pending in the Regional Court of Dortmund,
Germany.

Kemira defends against the claim of Cartel Damage Claims Hydrogen
Peroxide SA. However, Kemira is currently not in a position to make
any estimate regarding the duration or the likely outcome of the
process. No assurance can be given as to the outcome of the process,
and an unfavorable judgment against Kemira could have a material
adverse effect on Kemira's business, financial condition or results
of operations. Due to its extensive international operations the
Group, in addition to the CDC claim, is involved in a number of
other legal proceedings incidental to these operations and it does
not expect the outcome of these other currently pending legal
proceedings  to have materially adverse effect upon its consolidated
results or financial position.

The fair values of the instruments
which are publicly traded are based
on market valuation on the date of
reporting. Other instruments have
been valuated based on net present
values of future cash flows.
Valuation models have been used to
estimate the fair values of
options.



Nominal values of the financial
instruments do not necessarily
correspond to the actual cash flows
between the counterparties and do
not therefore give a fair view of
the risk position of the Group.
