TAPANI KIISKI, PRESIDENT AND CEO: UNCERTAINTY SURROUNDING THE IMPROVEMENT OF
DEMAND 

Our net sales saw growth in the second quarter and were almost back to their
pre-recession level, and our operating result rose into the black. The loss we
posted for the entire first part of 2011 was only half of last year's figure.
Profitability in the second quarter was still somewhat weakened by drawn-out
project implementation. Delays in achieving production capacity for mill-scale
deliveries and any additional costs that might be incurred from them are major
risks in the project business. 

The trend in the demand for wood products has remained favorable in the past
few months, except in North America, where construction is still at a very low
ebb. Thanks to the brighter market situation, the wood products industry has
stepped up its utilization rates and is more willing to invest. The rise in
capacity utilization in the wood products industry has been most clearly
evident in the demand for our technology services. During the first half of the
year, the wood products industry announced investment plans targeting to build
new capacity in South America. 

In our view, uncertainty about the development of the financial markets, the
threat of a new recession, and the search for suitable financing solutions have
caused the wood products industry to deliberate longer on investment decisions,
especially in Europe and Russia. Our projects that are currently under
negotiation now once again involve greater uncertainty in terms of
implementation and scheduling. In spite of this, we expect to see a positive
trend in our order intake in the next few months, paving the way for better
profitability and a positive full-year result for 2011. 


SECOND QUARTER OF 2011

Order intake and order book

Order intake during the second quarter totaled EUR 9 million (MEUR 9).
Technology services accounted for EUR 4 million (MEUR 5) of the new orders.
Order intake remained low because many of the projects that had been expected
to get the go-ahead in the second quarter were pushed back due to uncertainties
concerning market trends and financing. 

The most significant new orders were for the delivery of an automated veneer
patching line and peeling line to Russia. 

The order book declined by EUR 13 million during the past quarter, amounting to
EUR 35 million (MEUR 28) at the end of the reporting period. 

Net sales

Second-quarter net sales amounted to EUR 23.1 million (MEUR 19.5). The brighter
market prospects of the company's customer industries increased demand, which
contributed to net sales growth. 

Technology services accounted for 26 percent of total net sales (24%).

Result and profitability

The operating result for the second quarter was EUR 0.8 million positive (MEUR
0.1 positive), representing 4 percent (1%) of net sales. The second-quarter
result was EUR 0.5 million positive (MEUR 0.1 negative) and earnings per share
were EUR 0.13 (EUR -0.03). 



RAUTE CORPORATION - INTERIM REPORT JANUARY 1 - JUNE 30, 2011


BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

Market situation in customer industries

Raute's customers in the veneer, plywood, and LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber)
industries are engaged in the manufacturing of wood products used in investment
commodities and are thus highly dependent on cyclical fluctuations in
construction, housing-related consumption, international trade, and
transportation. 

During the reporting period, the market situation in Raute's customer
industries continued to improve gradually, with the exception of North America.
Outside North America, most plywood and LVL manufacturers are operating at
either good or normal utilization rates. However, in North America, the housing
market and construction have once again headed downward, and market demand for
wood products remained very muted. 

Demand for wood products technology and technology services

During the reporting period, demand for wood products technology and technology
services was at a normal level in view of the market situation in the customer
industries. Demand focused on smaller projects and especially on
modernizations, as is typical now that the market is recovering. 

Numerous larger projects - both individual production lines and complete mills
- have been under prolonged negotiation and planning in many market areas.
Customers will decide to go ahead with these projects only once they are
confident that the market has recovered permanently. 


ORDER INTAKE AND ORDER BOOK

Raute's business consists of providing project deliveries and technology
services to the wood products industry. Project deliveries encompass complete
mills, production lines, and individual machines and equipment. Technology
services include maintenance, spare parts services, modernization, consulting,
training, and reconditioned machinery. 

Order intake during the reporting period totaled EUR 39 million (MEUR 34). 59
percent of the new orders came from Russia (9%), 25 percent from Europe (22%),
7 percent from South America (3%), 7 percent from North America (15%), and 2
percent from Asia-Pacific (51%). 

The most significant new order was received in January for the delivery of
plywood mill machinery valued at more than EUR 12 million to Russia. The low
order intake from Asia and South America during the reporting period can be
explained by customers' scheduling of their projects. 

Technology services accounted for EUR 11 million (MEUR 8) of the order intake.

During the reporting period, the order book grew by EUR 2 million, amounting to
EUR 35 million (MEUR 28) at its end. 


COMPETITIVE POSITION

Raute's competitive position is good. Raute's solutions help customers in
securing their delivery and service capabilities. In such investments, the
supplier's end-to-end expertise and extensive, wide-ranging technology offering
play a key role. The competitive edge provided by Raute is also a major draw
when customers select their cooperation partners. Furthermore, Raute's strong
financial position enhances its credibility and improves its competitive
position in the implementation of long-term investment projects. 


NET SALES

Net sales for the reporting period, EUR 37.8 million (MEUR 30.0), were up 26
percent year-on-year. Demand increased in step with the brighter market
prospects of the company's customer industries, contributing to net sales
growth. 

Of the total net sales for the reporting period, Russia accounted for 33
percent (49%), Asia-Pacific for 25 percent (19%), North America for 10 percent
(15%), Europe for 26 percent (13%), and South America for 6 percent (4%). 

Net sales of technology services grew by 39 percent and accounted for 33
percent of total net sales (30%). 


RESULT AND PROFITABILITY

The operating result was EUR 0.6 million negative (MEUR 1.3 negative),
representing -2 percent of net sales (-4%). 

The company posted a loss for the reporting period due to additional costs
incurred from the drawn-out implementation of some projects that were in the
installation phase. 

The result before taxes for the reporting period was EUR 0.8 million negative
(MEUR 1.3 negative) and the result was EUR 0.7 million negative (MEUR 1.1
negative). Earnings per share (undiluted) were EUR -0.19 (EUR -0.27). 


CASH FLOW AND BALANCE SHEET

The Group's financial position is good. At the end of the reporting period,
gearing was -36 percent (-75%) and the equity ratio was 50 percent (45%). Other
fluctuations in balance sheet items and the key figures based on them are due
to differences in the timing of customer payments and the cost accumulation
from project deliveries, which is typical of project business. 

The Group's cash and cash equivalents, including financial assets recognized at
fair value through profit or loss, amounted to EUR 19.1 million (MEUR 32.8) at
the end of the reporting period. Operating cash flow was EUR -0.8 million (MEUR
+6.9). Cash flow from investment activities was EUR -0.6 million (MEUR -0.5).
Cash flow from financing activities was EUR -3.3 million (MEUR -1.1), including
dividends of EUR 1.2 million (MEUR 0.0). 

At the end of the reporting period, interest-bearing liabilities amounted to
EUR 11.1 million (MEUR 16.5), of which EUR 3.3 million (MEUR 4.4) were current
interest-bearing liabilities. 

The parent company Raute Corporation has a EUR 10 million commercial paper
program, which allows the company to issue commercial papers maturing in less
than one year. The company also has unused bilateral credit facilities totaling
EUR 10 million with two different Nordic banks.

strongly in continuous research and development, with a special focus on
plywood and LVL manufacturing technology and automation and instrumentation

Research and development costs totaled EUR 0.8 million (MEUR 0.8) during the

Raute Corporation's series A shares are listed on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd. The
trading code is RUTAV. Raute Corporation has signed a market making agreement
with Nordea Bank Finland Plc in compliance with the Liquidity Providing (LP)
requirements issued by NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd. 

The company's market capitalization at the end of the reporting period was EUR
39.3 million (MEUR 29.5), with series K shares valued at the closing price of
the series A shares on June 30, 2011, which was EUR 9.81 (EUR 7.37). 

The Annual General Meeting held on April 13, 2011 authorized the company's
Board of Directors to decide on the buyback of Raute Corporation series A
shares with distributable funds and on a directed share issue. The maximum
number of shares to be repurchased and issued is 400,000. The Board of
Directors did not exercise the authorization during the reporting period. 

The company did not hold any treasury shares during the reporting period.


STOCK OPTION SCHEME 2010

The Annual General Meeting held on March 31, 2010 resolved to issue a maximum
of 240,000 stock options. 

In accordance with the authorization granted by the Annual General Meeting, the
Board of Directors issued a total of 75,000 stock options marked with the

SHAREHOLDERS

The number of shareholders totaled 1,787 at the beginning of the year and 1,763
at the end of the reporting period. Series K shares are held by 52 private
individuals (46). Management held 7.1 percent (7.0%) of the company's shares
and 13.3 percent (12.5%) of the votes. Nominee-registered shares accounted for
2.1 percent (2.1%) of shares. 

No flagging notifications were given to the company during the reporting period.


CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Raute Corporation complies with the Finnish Corporate Governance Code for
listed companies issued by the Securities Market Association on June 15, 2010.
Raute deviates from Recommendation 22 on appointing members to the Appointments
Committee in that one member to the Committee is elected from outside the Board
of Directors, as per the company's Administrative Instructions, from among the
representatives of major shareholders who have significant voting rights. In
the Board's view, it has a good reason to deviate from the recommendation due
to the company's ownership structure; when selecting Board members, the company
can thus meet the expectations of its major shareholders early in the
preparation phase. The main points of Raute Corporation's corporate governance
principles are presented on the company's Internet site at www.raute.com. 

Raute Corporation's Corporate Governance Statement 2010 has been drawn up
separately from the Board of Directors' report and is published on the
company's Internet site. 


ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2011

Raute Corporation's Annual General Meeting was held on April 13, 2011. The

dividend of EUR 0.30 per share. 

The Annual General Meeting elected the Board of Directors for the term of
office ending at the next Annual General Meeting in 2012. Mr. Erkki
Pehu-Lehtonen, M.Sc. (Eng.), was elected as Chairman of the Board, Ms. Sinikka

The Annual General Meeting elected authorized public accounting company
PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy as auditors with Mr. Janne Rajalahti (Authorized
Public Accountant) as the principal auditor. 

The Annual General Meeting decided that the Chairman of the Board will be paid
remuneration of EUR 40,000 and the Vice Chair of the Board and Board members

BUSINESS RISKS

Risks in the near term continue to be driven by the global economic situation
and uncertainty concerning its development. Threats related to the indebtedness
of certain European countries and the United States have led to mounting
nervousness about the trends in the global economy and financial markets.
During the reporting period, there have been no essential changes in the
business risks described in the 2010 Board of Directors' report and financial
statements. The most significant risks for Raute in the near term are related
to the development of net sales and profitability. 


OUTLOOK FOR 2011

Raute's business operations are characterized by the sensitivity of investment
demand to cyclical fluctuations in the global economy and the financial
markets. 

The outlook for the world economy and financial markets and their permanent
recovery from the financial crisis remains fraught with uncertainty despite
favorable development in many markets. The market situation for Raute's
customer industries is expected to remain somewhat uncertain. Demand for wood
products has not yet permanently recovered to its pre-recession level. That
said, concerns about the continuation and strength of recovery have increased
in recent months due to the threats posed by the indebtedness of several
European countries and the United States. 

Demand for investments and services in the wood products industry is not
expected to see a permanent recovery to its pre-recession level in the near
future. However, upgrade investments in the plywood industry to ensure quality
and maintain market shares will probably continue to increase. Production line
and mill-scale investment projects are being planned in several market areas.
Their implementation and timing will depend on how financing is arranged for
customer projects in some market areas and whether the market situation for
wood products continues to develop favorably. 

Thanks to its strong financial and market position and the development measures
it has carried out, Raute is well poised to respond to growing demand once the
markets recover. The implemented adaptation measures have led to a lighter cost
structure and business is now more profitable than before, even in a difficult
market situation. 

Raute's profit outlook for 2011 remains unchanged. As a result of the order
book and projects under negotiation, net sales for 2011 will increase from the
previous year. The operating result is expected to be positive.

Raute Corporation's Board of Directors has on August 9, 2011 reviewed the
Group's 
 Interim financial report for 
January 1 - June 30, 2011, and approved the Interim financial report for
January 1 
 - June 30, 2011 to be published 
in compliance with this 
 release. 
2. 
 Accounting 
 principles 
Raute Corporation's Interim financial report January 1 - June 30, 2011 has been 
 prepared in accordance with 
standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The Interim financial report does
not 
 contain full notes and other 
information presented in the financial statements. Therefore, the Interim 
 financial report should be read 
in conjunction with the Financial 
 statements published for 2010. 
Raute Corporation's Interim financial report for January 1 - June 30, 2011 has 
 been prepared applying the accounting 
principles described in the Annual financial statements for 2010 and the
following 
 new and amended standards and 
interpretations which have taken 
 effect on January 1, 2011 or 
 later: 
- IAS 24 Related Party 
 Disclosures, revised 
- IAS 32 Classification 
 of Rights Issues, 
 amendment 
- IFRIC 19 Extinguishing Financial 
 Liabilities with Equity 
 Instruments 
- IFRIC 14 Prepayments of a Minimum Funding 
 Requirement, amendment 
- Annual Improvements to standards 
 and interpretations. 
The new standards, amendments and interpretations do not have any significant 
 impact on the Group's 
Interim 
 financial 
 report. 
All the monetary figures presented in the Interim financial report are in
thousand 
 euros, unless otherwise stated. 
Due to the rounding of the figures in the Interim financial statement tables,
the 
 sums of figures may deviate from 
the sum total presented in the table. Figures in 
 parentheses refer to the corresponding figures 
in the 
 comparison 
 period. 
The preparation of financial statements according to international financial 
 reporting standards requires 
management to use estimates and assumptions. In addition, the management must 
 exercise its judgement in 
selecting and applying the accounting policies of the Interim financial report. 
 These estimates and assumptions 
affect the assets and liabilities in the Group's balance sheet, the disclosure 
 ofcommitments and possible assets 
in the consolidated financial statements, and income and 
 expenses for the period. Actual results may differ from 
 the estimates.

4. Net 
 sales 
The main part of the net sales is comprised of project deliveries related to
wood 
 products technology that are 
treated as long-term projects. The rest of the net sales is comprised of 
 technology services provided to the 
wood products industry (spare parts, maintenance and modernization 
 services as well as services provided 
to the development of 
 customers' business). 
A significant part of the Group's net sales (project deliveries and
modernization 
 in technology services) includes 
both product and service sales. Breakdown of the Group's net sales into 
 purely product and service sales 
cannot be presented 
 reliably. 
At the end of the reporting period, the Group had two (2) customers, whose
share 
 of the Group's net sales 
temporarily exceeded 10 percent due 
 to the nature of project business.
