Metsä Board Oyj - Company Announcement

Historical figures based on the new reporting structure


Metsä Board Corporation Stock Exchange Release 13 February 2014 at 10 am EET

Metsä Board Corporation, part of Metsä Group, announced on 6 November 2013 to
renew its management and reporting structure as of 1 January 2014 to better
reflect the company's strategy and to create a better platform for growth in
the folding boxboard and kraftliner businesses. The company operates through
two business areas which will also be the company's reporting segments from 1Q
2014 reporting onwards: 

- Cartonboard

- Linerboard and Paper

Cartonboard business area includes Kyro, Simpele, Tako and Äänekoski folding
boxboard mills, Kyro wallpaper machine and Joutseno BCTMP mill located in
Finland as well as Gohrsmühle mill in Germany. Linerboard and Paper business
area includes Husum mill in Sweden as well as Kemi kraftliner and Kaskinen
BCTMP mills in Finland. 

Accounting for the 24.9 per cent ownership in Metsä Fibre Oy will remain
unchanged. The associated company result of Metsä Fibre will continue to be
allocated to business segments based on their respective pulp consumption. 
About 60 per cent of the result impact of Metsä Fibre ownership is expected to
be booked in Linerboard and Paper business area and the rest in the Cartonboard
business area. 

The historical figures based on the new business area structure are presented
