realised and open hedges, CO2 emission rights and valuations of biological
assets related to forest assets in equity accounted investments. 
NRI = Non-recurring items. These are exceptional transactions that are not
related to normal business operations. The most common non-recurring items are
capital gains, additional write-downs, or reversals of write-downs, provisions
for planned restructuring and penalties. Non-recurring items are normally
specified individually if they exceed one cent per share.

NRI = Non-recurring items. These are exceptional transactions that are not
related to normal business operations. The most common non-recurring items are
capital gains, additional write-downs or reversals of write-downs, provisions
for planned restructuring and penalties. Non-recurring items are normally
specified individually if they exceed one cent per share. 
Fair valuations include equity incentive schemes, synthetic options net of
realised and open hedges, CO2 emission rights, and valuations of biological
assets related to forest assets in equity accounted investments.

Q2/2011 Results (compared with Q2/2010)
Operating profit at EUR 228 million excluding non-recurring items and fair
valuations was EUR 15 million higher than a year ago. This represents an
operating margin of 8.1% (7.9%). 

Price increases in local currencies and a favourable product mix increased
operating profit by EUR 239 million. Paper and board production was curtailed
by 6% (8%) and sawnwood production by 3% (5%) of capacity. 

The costs of pulpwood, chemicals, RCP, pulp and sawlogs were higher than a year
ago, but productivity improvements and cost savings partly compensated for the
cost increases. The overall net impact of the increase in variable costs in
local currencies was a negative EUR 128 million. 

Exchange rates had negative impacts on sales and on costs totalling EUR 48
million, after hedges. 

Decreased volumes had a negative impact on operating profit of EUR 32 million
mainly due to the deteriorated pulp balance and maintenance. 

The share of the operational results of equity accounted investments amounted
to EUR 11 (EUR 11) million, with the largest contributions from Tornator and
Bergvik Skog. 

The Group recorded a net negative EUR 32 million of non-recurring items at
operating profit level in the second quarter of 2011 due to continued
restructuring and efficiency improvement plans as announced on 12 July 2011. 

Net financial items were EUR -35 (EUR -23) million. Net interest expenses
increased from EUR 24 million to EUR 28 million. Net foreign exchange losses
amounted to EUR 1 (gain EUR 6) million and the net loss from other financial
items totalled EUR 6 (EUR 5) million. 

Group capital employed was EUR 8 839 million on 30 June 2011, a net increase of
EUR 636 million mainly due to an increase of EUR 330 million in working capital
primarily to optimise wood costs and secure short-term wood availability, EUR
240 million of impairment reversal in the fourth quarter of 2010 and an
increase of EUR 180 million in the PVO valuation. The increase was partly
offset by EUR 220 million due to low capital expenditure compared with
depreciation. 

January-June 2011 Results (compared with January-June 2010)
Sales increased by EUR 556 million year-on-year. Operating profit excluding
non-recurring items and fair valuations increased by EUR 144 million or 43%.
Significantly higher sales prices in local currencies and a favourable product
mix more than compensated for higher variable costs. 

Q2/2011 Results (compared with Q1/2011)
Sales were up by 3% or EUR 90 million on the previous quarter. Operating profit
excluding non-recurring items and fair valuations was EUR 20 million lower than
in the previous quarter at EUR 228 million. The overall negative impact of
maintenance was EUR 37 million greater than in the previous quarter. Higher
sales prices and volumes were offset by higher variable costs. Fixed costs
excluding maintenance stoppages remained favourable.

Financing Q2/2011 (compared with Q1/2011)
Cash flow from operations remained healthy at EUR 207 (EUR 163) million despite
the increase in working capital mainly due to a decrease in accounts payable.
Cash flow after investing activities was EUR 122 (EUR 106) million.
Interest-bearing net liabilities of the Group increased by EUR 160 million to
EUR 2 561 million due to dividend payment. 

Total unutilised committed credit facilities remained unchanged at EUR 700
million, and cash and cash equivalents net of overdrafts remained strong at EUR
996 million, which is EUR 112 million less than at the end of the previous
quarter. In addition, Stora Enso has access to various long-term sources of
funding up to EUR 600 million. 

The debt/equity ratio at 30 June 2011 was 0.41 (0.38) due to dividend payment.

On 4 April 2011 Stora Enso announced that it had signed a loan facility
agreement with the International Finance Corporation (IFC) to extend the
maturity of USD 128 million in syndicated loans under its existing facility
with IFC. The extension prolongs the maturity by three years to June 2014.

Capital Expenditure for January-June 2011
Capital expenditure for the first half of 2011 totalled EUR 143 million, which
is 52% of depreciation in the same period. The capital expenditure forecast for
the Group for the full year 2011 has changed from the earlier estimate of EUR
550 million to approximately EUR 500 million with no impact on strategic
project timings. Annual depreciation in 2011 will be about EUR 570 million. The
equity injection into Montes del Plata, a joint venture in Uruguay, will be
approximately EUR 120 million. Close to 80% of capital expenditure including
equity injections is allocated for the strategic high-return growth areas in
2011. 

The main projects during the first half of 2011 were power plants.

Near-term Outlook
Demand (compared with Q3/2010)
Demand is forecast to be stable for consumer board, industrial packaging,
newsprint and coated magazine paper, and weaker for uncoated magazine paper and
fine paper. Demand for wood products is predicted to be slightly weaker, mainly
due to increased customer inventories. As before, production will be curtailed
if necessary in order to optimise earnings and working capital. 

Prices (compared with Q2/2011)
Consumer board prices are forecast to be stable, however the product and
geographical mix is expected to decrease cartonboard average prices. Industrial
packaging prices are forecast to be stable. Newsprint prices in Europe are
anticipated to be slightly higher, and the negotiations regarding European-wide
price increases are currently ongoing. Magazine paper prices in Europe are
predicted to be slightly higher and fine paper prices stable with an
unfavourable geographical and product mix. The fine paper price increases
announced will not have a material impact during the third quarter as they are
expected to take effect only in September. Prices for wood products are
forecast to be stable. 

In the third quarter of 2011, as in the second quarter, foreign exchange rates
are expected to have a negative impact on the results. The Group expects its
cost inflation excluding internal actions to remain unchanged at approximately
4% for the full year 2011. Actions continue to mitigate cost inflation. 

There is increasing uncertainty in the European economy. Operating profit
excluding NRI and fair valuations in the third quarter of 2011 is forecast to
be in approximately the same range as the second quarter of 2011.

*** Excluding pulp



·         Stora Enso is taking a significant step forward in renewable
materials innovation by building a pre-commercial plant at Imatra in Finland to
produce microfibrillated cellulose. The new type of renewable material will be
used in existing and new unique fibre-based paper and board products, barrier
materials, and other potential future applications. 

  -- Stora Enso announced the investment of approximately EUR 90 million in
     Skoghall Mill in Sweden.
  -- Stora Enso and Alucha Recycling Technologies have received the European
     Union's LIFE environment award for developing and investing in innovative
     recycling technology in Stora Enso's Barcelona Mill.
  -- There will be an annual maintenance stoppage at Imatra Mills in Finland
     during the third quarter of 2011.

Consumer board sales were EUR 662 million, up 13% on the second quarter of
2010. Operating profit was EUR 85 million, up EUR 8 million on the second
quarter of 2010. Higher sales prices and somewhat higher volumes compensated
for higher chemical and fibre costs. The maintenance stoppage at Enocell Pulp
Mill reduced pulp deliveries in the second quarter of 2011.

ka project in Poland has been ordered. 
  -- The Inpac International acquisition is expected to be completed during the
     third quarter of 2011.


Industrial packaging sales were EUR 240 million, down 7% on the second quarter
of 2010. Operating profit was EUR 20 million, up EUR 2 million on the second
quarter of 2010. Increased sales prices more than offset higher corrugated raw
material costs. The laminating paper business was divested in July 2010.

  -- The paper quality improvement investment at Sachsen Mill in Germany is
     proceeding as planned and scheduled to be completed by the end of the
     second quarter of 2012.
  -- There will be a maintenance stoppage at Hylte Mill in Sweden during the
     third quarter of 2011.
  -- Industry inventories were lower than in the second quarter of 2010 and the
     previous quarter.


Newsprint and book paper sales were EUR 335 million, up 3% on the second
quarter of 2010. Operating profit was EUR 28 million, an improvement of EUR 34
million on a year ago as higher sales prices more than compensated for higher
variable costs. Volumes were slightly lower than a year earlier as the
permanent shutdown of the newsprint machines at Varkaus Mill in Finland at the
end of the third quarter of 2010 and the newsprint machine at Maxau Mill in
Germany at the end of November 2010 reduced production volumes.

  -- Industry inventories were slightly higher than a year ago, and higher for
     coated magazine paper and significantly higher for uncoated magazine paper
     than in the previous quarter.


Magazine Paper segment's sales were EUR 517 million, down 3% on the second
quarter of 2010 mainly due to lower pulp volumes. The annual maintenance
stoppage at Skutskär Pulp Mill in Sweden was completed as planned. Operating
profit was EUR 34 million, up EUR 12 million on a year ago as higher prices
more than compensated for higher variable costs.

  -- Stora Enso announced that the Fine Paper Business Area planned to increase
     competitiveness by restructuring its operations. Co-determination
     negotiations are ongoing.
  -- Industry inventories for coated fine paper were higher than a year ago but
     lower than in the previous quarter.
  -- Industry inventories for uncoated fine paper were significantly higher than
     a year ago and also higher than in the previous quarter.
  -- During the third quarter of 2011 there will be annual maintenance stoppages
     at Varkaus and Oulu mills in Finland and at Suzhou Mill in China.

Fine paper sales were EUR 532 million, down 4% on the second quarter of 2010.
Operating profit was EUR 49 million, down EUR 31 million on the previous year
as higher sales prices could not compensate for higher variable costs, lower
volumes and major maintenance costs. The annual maintenance stoppages at
Nymölla Mill in Sweden and Uetersen Mill in Germany were completed as planned.

  -- Following the co-determination negotiations at Kopparfors Sawmill in
     Sweden, Stora Enso announced in June 2011 that Kopparfors Sawmill and the
     pellet mill would be permanently closed down by the end of 2011.
  -- The pre-manufactured construction element investment at Ybbs Sawmill in
     Austria and Imavere pellet plant investment in Estonia are proceeding
     according to plan. These projects are
expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2012 and fourth quarter of
     2011, respectively.
  -- Following the weakening of market conditions, industry inventories were
     slightly higher than in the second quarter of 2010 and the previous
     quarter.
  -- Annual maintenance stoppages in several sawmills in the Nordic countries
     are ongoing in the third quarter of 2011.
  -- On 21 July 2011 Stora Enso announced 
a combined heat and power (CHP) plant investment at Zd
í
rec Mill in the Czech Republic.


Wood product sales were EUR 465 million, up 10% on the second quarter of 2010.
Operating profit was EUR 35 million, up EUR 5 million on a year earlier. Higher
sales prices were partly offset by higher wood costs.

Short-term Risks and Uncertainties
The main short-term risks and uncertainties are related to increased economic
uncertainty. 

Energy sensitivity analysis for 2011: the direct effect on 2011 operating
profit of a 10% increase in electricity, oil and other fossil fuel market
prices would be about negative EUR 26 million annual impact, after the effect
of hedges. 

Wood sensitivity analysis for 2011: the direct effect on 2011 operating profit
of a 10% increase in wood prices would be about negative EUR 232 million annual
impact. 

Pulp sensitivity analysis for 2011: the direct effect on 2011 operating profit
of a 10% increase in yearly average pulp prices would be about positive EUR 54
million annual impact. 

A decrease of energy, wood or pulp prices would have the opposite impact.

Foreign exchange rates sensitivity analysis for the next twelve months: the
direct effect on operating profit of a 10% strengthening in the value of the US
dollar, Swedish krona and British pound against the euro would be positive EUR
107 million, negative EUR 82 million and positive EUR 54 million annual impact,
respectively. Weakening of the currencies would have the opposite impact. These
numbers are before the effect of hedges and assuming no changes occur other
than a single currency exchange rate movement. 

Veracel
On 11 July 2008 Stora Enso announced that a federal judge in Brazil had issued
a decision claiming that the permits issued by the State of Bahia for the
operations of Stora Enso's equity accounted investment Veracel were not valid.
The judge also ordered Veracel to take certain actions, including reforestation
with native trees on part of Veracel's plantations and a possible BRL 20
million (EUR 9 million) fine. Veracel disputes the decision and has filed an
appeal against it. Veracel operates in full compliance with all Brazilian laws
and has obtained all the necessary environmental and operating licences for its
industrial and forestry activities from the competent authorities. In November
2008 a Federal Court suspended the effects of the decision. Veracel has not
recorded any provision for the reforestation or the possible fine. 

On 30 September 2009 a judge in the State of Bahia issued an interim decision
ordering the State Government of Bahia not to grant Veracel further plantation
licences in the municipality of Eunápolis in response to claims by a state
prosecutor that Veracel's plantations exceeded the legal limits, which Veracel
disputes. Veracel's position is supported by documentation issued by the State
environmental authority. 

Class Action Lawsuits in USA
In the context of magazine paper sales in the USA in 2002 and 2003, Stora Enso
was sued in a number of class action (and other civil) lawsuits filed in the
USA by various magazine paper purchasers that claimed damages for alleged
antitrust violations. On 14 December 2010 a US federal court granted a motion
for summary judgement that Stora Enso had filed seeking dismissal of the direct
purchaser class action claims. The ruling, which the plaintiffs have appealed,
means that the court has ruled in favour of Stora Enso and found the direct
purchaser class action claims to be without legal foundation. Further, most of
the indirect purchaser actions have been dismissed by a consent judgement,
subject, however, to being reinstated if the plaintiffs' appeal in the direct
cases is successful. The ruling, if it stands on appeal, will also provide a
strong legal basis for final dismissal of all remaining civil cases. No
provisions have been made in Stora Enso's accounts for these lawsuits. 

Legal Proceeding in Finland
On 3 December 2009 the Finnish Market Court fined Stora Enso for competition
law infringements in the market for roundwood in Finland from 1997 to 2004.
Stora Enso did not appeal against the ruling. 

On 31 March 2011 Metsähallitus of Finland initiated legal proceedings against
Stora Enso, UPM and Metsäliitto claiming compensation for damages allegedly
suffered due to the competition law infringements amounting altogether to EUR
283 million. 

Stora Enso denies that Metsähallitus suffered any damages whatsoever and will
forcefully defend itself. No provisions have been made in Stora Enso's accounts
for this lawsuit. 

Share Capital
During the quarter 762 A shares were converted into R shares. The shares were
recorded in the Finnish trade register on 16 May 2011. 

On 30 June 2011 Stora Enso had 177 149 022 A shares and 612 389 477 R shares in
issue of which the Company held no A shares and 918 512 R shares with a nominal
value of EUR 1.6 million. The holding represents 0.12% of the Company's share
capital and 0.04% of the voting rights. 

 Changes in shareholdings
Norges Bank was lending out certain Stora Enso shares and therefore the number
of shares in Stora Enso Oyj held by Norges Bank (The Central Bank of Norway)
was temporarily less than 5% of the paid-up share capital and the number of
shares in Stora Enso Oyj in April and May 2011. 

Decisions of the Annual General Meeting on 20 April 2011
The AGM approved a proposal by the Board of Directors that the Company
distribute a dividend of EUR 0.25 per share for the year 2010. 

The AGM approved a proposal that the Board of Directors shall have seven
members and that of the current members of the Board of Directors, Gunnar
Brock, Birgitta Kantola, Mikael Mäkinen, Juha Rantanen, Hans Stråberg, Matti
Vuoria and Marcus Wallenberg be re-elected members of the Board of Directors
until the end of the following AGM. Carla Grasso was not seeking re-election. 

The AGM approved a proposal that the current auditor Authorised Public
Accountants Deloitte & Touche Oy be re-elected auditor of the Company until the
end of the following AGM. The AGM approved a proposal that remuneration for the
auditor be paid according to invoice approved by Financial and Audit Committee. 

The AGM approved a proposal that a Nomination Board be appointed to prepare
proposals concerning (a) the number of members of the Board of Directors, (b)
the members of the Board of Directors, (c) the remuneration for the Chairman,

for the Chairman and members of the committees of the Board of Directors. 

Decisions by Board of Directors

from among its members Gunnar Brock as its Chairman and Juha Rantanen as Vice
Chairman. 

 Birgitta Kantola (chairwoman), Gunnar Brock and Juha Rantanen were re-elected
as members of the Financial and Audit Committee. 

 Gunnar Brock (chairman), Hans Stråberg and Matti Vuoria were re-elected as

Financials

Basis of Preparation
Except as described below, this unaudited interim financial report has been
prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in International
Accounting Standard 34 on Interim Financial Reporting and in the Group's Annual
Report for 2010. 

The following amendments to standards and interpretations were adopted from 1
January 2011 but had no impact on the Group financial statements: 



  -- IAS 24 Related Party Disclosure - Revised definition of related parties
  -- IFRIC 19 Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments
     requires the extinguishment of a financial liability by the issue of equity
     instruments to be measured at fair value with the difference between the
     fair value of the instrument issued and the carrying value of the liability
     extinguished being recognised in profit or loss.
  -- Amendments to IFRS
 - Through the annual improvements process, the minor and non-urgent
     changes are collected into one ensemble and implemented at the beginning of
     the year. In addition, the IASB has published a few other small amendments
     which have also been implemented at the beginning of the year. These
     changes and amendments effective from 1 January 2011 relate to nine
     standards and interpretations. They did not have a significant effect on
     the Group financial statements.

The sensitivity is based on estimated next 12 months net operating cash flow.
The calculation does not take into account currency hedges, and assumes no
changes occurs other than a single currency exchange rate movement. Weakening
would have the opposite impact.
