Mika Ihamuotila, President and CEO:                                             

”The trend in Marimekko's profitability in the first half of the year was quite 
positive. Operating profit improved by 74.6%, reaching EUR 1.8 million. I am    
pleased to note that the measures taken in 2009 to enhance operational          
efficiency and the continuous efforts to improve our business operations are    
proving effective. The Group's net sales fell by 1.6%. This decrease was        
primarily attributable to an extensive price-led promotion organised in Finland 
in the first quarter of 2009 to reduce inventories. There were signs of a       
pick-up in sales in the retailer-owned concept stores in Finland.               

I have great confidence in the development of Marimekko's business and so we are
going to invest more and more in creating the necessary preconditions for future
growth. Our focus will be on developing the product selection and opening new   
stores and distribution channels in the United States, Northern Europe and East 
Asia. The effect of these investments is reflected in the second quarter        
results, and they will continue to have an impact on the Group's earnings for   
the remainder of the year.”

MARIMEKKO CORPORATION'S INTERIM REPORT, 1 JANUARY - 30 JUNE 2010                

MARKET SITUATION                                                                

During the first half of the year, the Finnish economy has rebounded to a level 
approaching long-term averages and recovery is expected to continue through the 
rest of the year. The global economy is also expected to recover in the short   
term. The situation in the retail sector has improved in the early part of the  
summer, but is still weaker than normal.(Confederation of Finnish Industries EK:
Business Tendency Survey, August 2010) From January to June 2010, the value of  
retail sales in Finland rose by 1.9% (Statistics Finland: Retail trade turnover 
2010, June, quick estimate). In the January-May period of 2010, retail sales of 
clothing (excluding sportswear) grew by 3.3% (Textile and Fashion Industries    
TMA). Sales of womenswear rose by 1.8%, sales of menswear by 6.4%, and sales of 
childrenswear by 3.9%. Sales of bags decreased by 0.4%. From January to May     
2010, exports and imports of clothing (SITC 84) both fell by 5%; exports of     
textiles (SITC 65) declined by 11%, while imports increased by 9% (National     
Board of Customs, monthly review, May 2010).                                    

NET SALES                                                                       

April-June                                                                      
In the April-June period of 2010, the Marimekko Group's net sales fell by 1.6%  
to EUR 15,747 thousand (EUR 15,999 thousand). The decrease was attributable to a
decline in international sales; these fell by 11.2% to EUR 4,334 thousand (EUR  
4,883 thousand). Net sales in Finland increased by 2.7% to EUR 11,413 thousand  
(EUR 11,116 thousand).                                                          

January-June                                                                    
In the January-June period of 2010, the Marimekko Group's net sales decreased by
1.6% to EUR 31,755 thousand (EUR 32,262 thousand). Net sales in Finland fell by 
1.8% to EUR 21,598 thousand (EUR 21,990 thousand). The decline was primarily    
attributable to an extensive price-led promotion organised in the first quarter 
of 2009 to reduce inventories. International sales decreased by 1.1% to EUR     
10,157 thousand (EUR 10,272 thousand), which represented 32.0% (31.8%) of the   
Group's net sales.                                                              

The breakdown of the Group's net sales by product line was as follows: clothing 
40.8%, interior decoration 42.9%, and bags 16.3%. Net sales by market area were:
Finland 68.0%, the other Nordic countries 10.8%, the rest of Europe 7.7%, North 
America 5.1%, and other countries (Japan and other regions outside Europe and   
North America) 8.4%.                                                            

REVIEWS BY BUSINESS UNIT                                                        

Clothing                                                                        
In the January-June period of 2010, net sales of clothing fell by 4.6% to EUR   
12,942 thousand (EUR 13,560 thousand). In Finland and the market area referred  
to as "the rest of Europe", sales decreased slightly. Sales in other markets    
grew somewhat. International sales accounted for 26.4% of net sales of clothing.

Interior decoration                                                             
Net sales of interior decoration products increased by 5.3% to EUR 13,625       
thousand (EUR 12,938 thousand). Sales growth was encouraging in the market area 
referred to as "the rest of Europe"; sales also increased somewhat in Finland,  
the other Nordic countries and North America. Sales in Japan declined slightly. 
International sales accounted for 37.1% of net sales of interior decoration     
products.                                                                       

Bags                                                                            
Net sales of bags fell by 10.0% to EUR 5,188 thousand (EUR 5,764 thousand).     
Sales declined in all market areas. International sales accounted for 32.5% of  
net sales of bags.                                                              

Sales in Finland                                                                
In the January-June period of 2010, Marimekko's retail sales, i.e. sales by     
Marimekko's own retail shops in Finland, declined by 5.7%. Domestic wholesale   
sales increased by 3.0%. Both retail and wholesale sales in Finland were        
adversely affected by the extensive price-led promotion organised in the first  
quarter of 2009 to reduce inventories.                                          

International sales                                                             
In the January-June period of 2010, Marimekko's international sales (previously "exports and international operations") decreased by 1.1% to EUR 10,157 thousand
(EUR 10,272 thousand). In the market area referred to as "the other Nordic      
countries", net sales were up 4.4% on the comparison period, totalling EUR 3,434
thousand (EUR 3,288 thousand). The rise in the value of the Swedish krona       
contributed to the increase in net sales. Sales in North America increased by   
3.1% to EUR 1,611 thousand (EUR 1,563 thousand). In the market area referred to 
as "other countries", net sales fell by 9.8% from the previous year to EUR 2,664
thousand (EUR 2,952 thousand). The decline was due to the opening of new concept
stores and the deliveries of their initial inventories in the first quarter of  
2009 as well as a decrease in sales of bags in the second quarter of the current
year. In the market area referred to as "the rest of Europe", net sales were    
down 0.9% to EUR 2,448 thousand (EUR 2,469 thousand).                           

Licensing                                                                       
Royalty earnings from sales of licensed products increased significantly during 
the period.                                                                     

Production                                                                      
In the January-June period of 2010, the output of the Herttoniemi textile       
printing factory increased by 14%. The production volume of the Sulkava factory 
decreased somewhat compared with the corresponding period of the previous year. 
The output of the Kitee factory declined substantially as a result of changes to
the production structure implemented in 2009.                                   

EARNINGS                                                                        

April-June                                                                      
In the April-June period of 2010, the Group's operating profit declined by 44.4%
from the comparison period to EUR 588 thousand (EUR 1,058 thousand). Earnings   
per share were EUR 0.05 (EUR 0.10). The difference in relation to the comparison
period is attributable to investments in product development and building up the
company's international distribution network.                                   

January-June                                                                    
In the January-June period of 2010, the Group's operating profit increased by   
74.6% to EUR 1,811 thousand (EUR 1,037 thousand). Operating profit as a         
percentage of net sales was 5.7% (3.2%). Marketing expenses for the period      
amounted to EUR 1,365 thousand (EUR 1,724 thousand), representing 4.3% (5.3%) of
the Group's net sales.                                                          

Earnings for the period were boosted by an increase in average sales margins and
lower marketing expenses compared to the same period in the previous year.      
Full-year marketing expenses are expected to be at the same level as in 2009.   
Measures implemented in 2009 to improve operational efficiency also had a       
positive effect on earnings. Investments in product development and building up 
the company's international distribution network, on the other hand, weighed    
down earnings.                                                                  

The Group's depreciation amounted to EUR 723 thousand (EUR 697 thousand),       
representing 2.3% (2.2%) of net sales. Net financial income totalled EUR 25     
thousand (EUR 47 thousand), or 0.1% (0.1%) of net sales.                        

Profit for the period after taxes stood at EUR 1,363 thousand (EUR 802          
thousand), representing 4.3% (2.5%) of net sales. Earnings per share were EUR   
0.17 (EUR 0.10).                                                                

INVESTMENTS                                                                     

The Group's gross investments amounted to EUR 523 thousand (EUR 521 thousand),  
representing 1.6% (1.6%) of net sales. The majority of investments were directed
at acquisitions and updates of computer software.                               

EQUITY RATIO AND FINANCING

Share capital

RISK MANAGEMENT AND MAJOR RISKS                                                 

Marimekko's risk management and key risks related to its business are described 
in the 2009 Annual Report and Financial Statements Bulletin. No changes have    
occurred in the general risk factors since the review presented in the report of
the Board of Directors on 2 February 2010. The particular risks in the near     
future are associated with the development of consumers' purchasing behaviour.  
The management and monitoring of change and ensuring sufficient core expertise  
are emphasised in risk management.                                              

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT                                                        

Marimekko's product planning and development costs arise from the design of     
collections. Design costs are recorded in expenses.                             

THE ENVIRONMENT, HEALTH AND SAFETY                                              

Responsibility for the environment and nature is an integral aspect of          
Marimekko's business. In environmental matters, the company's business          
supervision is largely based on legislation and other regulations.              
Environmental, health and safety issues are reported in the 2009 Annual Report. 
The framework for reporting is provided by the G3 guidelines of the Global      
Reporting Initiative (GRI).

OUTLOOK FOR THE REMAINDER OF 2010                                               

Marimekko Corporation operates in a field where economic trends affect its      
business activities. Net sales declined slightly in the first half of 2010,     
while earnings improved noticeably. Nevertheless, market conditions are expected
to remain relatively challenging in the rest of the year.                       

The majority of the Group's net sales are generated in Finland. In recent years,
however, exports have increasingly been driving Marimekko's net sales growth.   
During the current year, Marimekko's exports are estimated to grow slightly. In 
2009, the Group's net sales and earnings included significant revenues generated
from individual promotions. This year, similar revenues that increase net sales 
and improve earnings are estimated to be lower. Furthermore, earnings will be   
burdened by additional investments in product development and building up the   
company's international distribution network.                                   

The full-year estimate for 2010 remains unchanged: the Group's net sales and    
operating profit are expected to be approximately at the same level as in 2009.
