Sales at EUR 2 624 million were EUR 393 million higher than in the third quarter
of 2009. Prices for the Group's products were generally higher, although
newsprint and magazine paper prices in local currencies decreased. Volume
recovery and favourable exchange rates also increased sales. Pulp delivery
volumes and prices increased considerably.

Q3/2010 Results (compared with Q3/2009) (continued)
Operating profit at EUR 255 million excluding non-recurring items and fair
valuations was EUR 124 million higher than a year ago. This represents an
operating margin of 10%. Improvements in prices in local currencies and mix
increased operating profit by EUR 106 million. Volume recovery increased
operating profit by EUR 78 million. Paper and board production was curtailed by
8% and sawnwood production by 5% of capacity.
Prices for the Group's products were generally higher except in newsprint and
magazine paper, where prices were lower than a year ago. Higher costs, mainly
for pulp and RCP, but to some extent also for sawlogs and chemicals, decreased
operating profit by EUR 105 million. However, market pulp had a positive net
impact of EUR 28 million, mainly in Magazine Paper, as profit improvement
through external pulp sales more than offset the higher cost of externally
purchased pulp.
The favourable impact of exchange rates on sales was significantly offset by the
unfavourable impact of exchange rates on costs, the net impact being some EUR 30
million, after hedges. Deliveries of wood to the Group's mills were 8.7 million
cubic metres, 16% up on the third quarter of 2009.
The share of the operational results of equity accounted investments amounted to
EUR 22 (EUR 6) million, with the largest contribution from Bergvik Skog and
Tornator.
The Group recorded a net positive EUR 5 million of non-recurring items in the
third quarter of 2010. Disposal of the Baienfurt mill site resulted in a gain of
EUR 50 million due to provision releases and fixed asset impairment reversals,
which more than offset the EUR 37 million closure provisions and write-downs
related to PM 7 at Maxau Mill in Germany and EUR 8 million increases in closure
provisions and write-downs related to PM 2 and PM 4 at Varkaus Mill in Finland.
Net financial items were EUR -51 (EUR -46) million. Net interest expenses
decreased slightly from EUR 25 million to EUR 24 million.
Group capital employed was EUR 8 226 million on 30 September 2010, a net
increase of EUR 334 million due to the Group's capital investments in equity
accounted investments in Uruguay and strengthening of the Swedish krona and
Brazilian real.
January-September 2010 Results (compared with the same period in 2009)
Sales increased by EUR 1 065 million year-on-year to EUR 7 612 million due to
higher delivery volumes and favourable exchange rates. Sales prices were higher
for most of the Group's products but the price trend was unfavourable for
newsprint and magazine paper. Pulp deliveries and prices increased. Operating
profit excluding non-recurring items and fair valuations increased by EUR 404
million year-on-year to EUR 587 million as higher volumes and favourable
exchange rate trends in sales more than offset higher costs and unfavourable
exchange rate trends in costs.
Q3/2010 Results (compared with Q2/2010)
Sales were slightly down by EUR 69 million on the previous quarter. Operating
profit excluding non-recurring items and fair valuations was EUR 42 million
higher than in the previous quarter at EUR 255 million as the generally higher
sales prices more than offset higher costs. Group capital employed was EUR 8 226
million on 30 September 2010, a net increase of EUR 23 million.

Financing Q3/2010 (compared with Q2/2010)
Cash flow from operations remained strong at EUR 304 (EUR 305) million due to
improved profitability and active working capital management. Capital
expenditure was EUR 74 million in the third quarter due to active capital
expenditure management, which further improved cash flow after investing
activities to EUR 230 (EUR 229) million. At the end of the period,
interest-bearing net liabilities of the Group were EUR 2 445 million, a decrease
of EUR 253 million. In September 2010 USD 47.6 million of a bond maturing in
2011 was repurchased.
Total unutilised committed credit facilities were unchanged at EUR 1 400
million, and cash and cash equivalents net of overdrafts remained strong at EUR
1 121 million, which is EUR 265 million more than for the previous quarter. In
addition, Stora Enso has access to various long-term sources of funding up to
EUR 750 million. In August 2010 Stora Enso issued two five-year bonds totalling
SEK 2 300 million under its EMTN (Euro Medium Term Note) programme. The SEK 1
000 million bond pays a floating coupon of three-month Stibor plus 370 basis
points and has an issue/reoffer price of 100.000. The SEK 1 300 million bond
pays a fixed coupon of 5.75% and has an issue/reoffer price of 99.778 to give a
spread of 370 basis points over five-year mid swap. There are no financial
covenants in the new debt.
The debt/equity ratio at 30 September 2010 was 0.43 (0.49). The currency effect
on owners' equity was negative EUR 28 million net of the hedging of equity
translation risks. The fair valuations of operative securities, mainly related
to the unlisted Finnish power supply company Pohjolan Voima, included within
available-for-sale assets increased equity by EUR 46 million.

Capital Expenditure for January-September 2010
Capital expenditure for the first three quarters of 2010 totalled EUR 262
million, which is 68% of depreciation in the first three quarters of 2010. Stora
Enso's annual depreciation will be about EUR 530 million in 2010. Capital
expenditure for the Group for the full year 2010 will be approximately EUR 400
million.
The main projects during the first three quarters of 2010 were power plants and
energy-related projects at existing mills (EUR 117 million) and development of
existing production (EUR 54 million).
Short-term Risks and Uncertainties
The main short-term risks and uncertainties are related to the global economy,
foreign exchange volatility, the effects of possible increases in raw material
costs, especially for wood, development of the wood market, especially
uncertainty related to Russian wood duties, and possible decreases in pulp
market prices.
Energy sensitivity analysis for 2010: the direct effect on 2010 operating profit
of a 10% increase in electricity, oil and other fossil fuel market prices would
be about negative EUR 18 million annual impact, after the effect of hedges.
Wood sensitivity analysis for 2010: the direct effect on 2010 operating profit
of a 10% increase in wood prices would be about negative EUR 216 million annual
impact.
Pulp sensitivity analysis for 2010: the direct effect on 2010 operating profit
of a 10% increase in yearly average pulp prices would be about positive EUR 48
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 about positive
EUR 110 million, negative EUR 100 million and positive EUR 55 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.
Near-term Outlook
In Europe and globally demand for newsprint is expected to be unchanged from a
year ago. In Europe demand for coated magazine paper is forecast to be slightly
stronger as demand for uncoated magazine paper slightly weaker than a year ago.
Demand for coated fine paper is predicted to be slightly stronger and demand for
uncoated fine paper stronger than a year ago. Demand for consumer board is
expected to be slightly stronger than a year ago but seasonally weaker than in
the third quarter of 2010. Demand for industrial packaging is expected to be
slightly stronger than a year ago. Demand for wood products is anticipated to be
similar to a year ago but weaker than in the third quarter of 2010.
In Europe newsprint prices are forecast to be similar to the third quarter of
2010, whereas global newsprint prices are forecast to be slightly higher than in
the third quarter of 2010. Prices for coated and uncoated magazine paper are
expected to be slightly higher than in the previous quarter.
Fine paper prices are predicted to be slightly higher than in the third quarter
of 2010. Consumer board prices are forecast to be similar to the previous
quarter, whereas industrial packaging prices are forecast to be slightly higher.
Prices for wood products are predicted to be lower than in the third quarter of
2010.
Maintenance stoppages and wood and RCP costs are expected to have a greater
negative impact at Group level on the fourth quarter 2010 results than the third
quarter 2010 results. Wood Products faces pressure on profitability due to
weakening market conditions and high raw material costs.
The Group expects its cost inflation excluding internal actions to remain 2% for
the full year 2010.
Third Quarter Events
July
On 1 July 2010 Stora Enso announced that it had finalised the divestment of its
integrated mills at Kotka in Finland and its laminating paper operations in
Malaysia to private equity firm OpenGate Capital as announced on 22 April 2010,
the total consideration including earn-out being up to EUR 24 million.
On 7 July 2010 Stora Enso announced that it would permanently close down
newsprint and directory paper production at Varkaus in Finland by the end of the
third quarter of 2010. The co-determination negotiations at Varkaus were
concluded at the end of June. The reasons for the planned capacity closure
announced on 22 April 2010 had not changed: the European newsprint and directory
paper market is strongly structurally oversupplied and sales prices had fallen
significantly. As a result, newsprint production at Varkaus Mill was expected to
remain unprofitable in the long term.
August
On 24 August 2010 Stora Enso announced that Stora Enso Baienfurt GmbH had signed
an agreement to divest its Baienfurt mill site real estate in Germany.
September
On 2 September 2010 Stora Enso announced in response to an article published in
the Finnish daily newspaper Helsingin Sanomat on 2 September 2010 that there
were no discussions ongoing concerning a possible newsprint joint venture
between Stora Enso, Holmen and Norske Skog.
On 7 September 2010 Stora Enso announced that it would permanently shut down the
195 000 tonnes per year newsprint machine at Maxau Mill in Germany by the end of
November 2010. Newsprint production at Maxau would end due to the weak European
market outlook and high production costs. Sales prices had fallen significantly
while recovered paper and wood costs had risen strongly. As a result, there was
no realistic prospect of newsprint production at Maxau Mill becoming profitable
again in the foreseeable future.
On 29 September 2010 Stora Enso announced that it was continuing to expand in
solid biofuels by investing EUR 10 million in starting pellet production at
Imavere Sawmill in Estonia. The pellet plant project would commence in the
fourth quarter of 2010 and was expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of
2011.
Restructuring Actions
On 23 April 2009 Stora Enso announced that it was reorganising its operations
with the aim of reducing annual fixed costs by EUR 250 million, mainly through
savings in administration. The majority of the cost reductions were achieved in
2009. Implementation of the remaining administrative fixed cost saving plans is
on schedule. The full impact will be apparent in the Group's operating profit
from 2011 onwards.
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 8 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 as an interim
measure. 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.
Inspections by Competition Authorities
In 2007, following US Federal District Court trial, Stora Enso was found not
guilty of charges by the US Department of Justice relating to practices in the
sale of coated magazine paper in the USA in 2002 and 2003. Coincident with this
case, Stora Enso has been named in a number of class action lawsuits filed in
the USA which still are pending. All discovery in those class action lawsuits
has been completed and Stora Enso has filed a motion for summary judgement
seeking dismissal of all plaintiffs' claims. The court is still expected to rule
on Stora Enso's motion during 2010. If the court denies Stora Enso's motion, a
trial will be held in 2011. No provisions have been made in Stora Enso's
accounts for these lawsuits.
Changes in Group Management
Elisabet Salander Björklund, Executive Vice President and a member of the Group
Executive Team, relinquished her duties with Stora Enso on 31 August 2010.
On 13 August 2010 Stora Enso announced that it had appointed Lars Häggström as
Head of Group Human Resources and member of the Group Executive Team, effective
as of 1 October 2010. He reports to CEO Jouko Karvinen.
Share Capital
No conversions were recorded during the quarter.
On 30 September 2010 Stora Enso had 177 150 084 A shares and 612 388 415 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.
Events after the Period
On 11 October 2010 Stora Enso announced that its joint venture with Neste Oil,
NSE Biofuels Oy, would commence environmental impact assessments for a
commercial-scale biorefinery at Porvoo and at Imatra in Finland. The two
locations are seen as potential alternative sites for a unit capable of
producing approximately 200 000 tonnes of premium-quality renewable diesel per
year from wood biomass.
On 18 October 2010 Stora Enso announced that its Nomination Board had been
appointed. The composition of the Board is as follows: Gunnar Brock (Chairman of
the Board of Directors), Juha Rantanen (Vice Chairman of the Board of
Directors), Marcus Wallenberg (appointed by shareholder FAM) and Keijo Suila
(appointed by shareholder Solidium). Keijo Suila is the Chairman of the
Nomination Board.
On 27 October 2010 Stora Enso announced that it had signed an agreement to
acquire 51% of the Chinese packaging company Inpac International.

Newsprint and book paper sales were EUR 323 million, down 2% on the third
quarter of 2009 due to lower sales prices. Operating profit was EUR 0 million,
down EUR 35 million on the third quarter of 2009 due to lower sales prices and
higher RCP costs.
Stora Enso permanently shut down two newsprint machines PM 2 and PM 4 at Varkaus
Mill in Finland at the end of the third quarter of 2010, reducing newsprint
annual capacity by 290 000 tonnes. Stora Enso will also permanently shut down
the 195 000 tonnes per year newsprint machine at Maxau Mill in Germany by the
end of November 2010.

Magazine paper sales were EUR 541 million, up 15% on the third quarter of 2009
mainly due to higher pulp volumes and prices, and favourable exchange rates,
although magazine paper prices declined. Operating profit was EUR 46 million, up
EUR 15 million on a year ago as stronger demand for paper, higher pulp prices
and the net favourable impact of exchange rates more than compensated for higher
costs, especially for RCP.
There will be an annual maintenance stoppage at Sunila Pulp Mill in Finland and
a combined annual maintenance and minor investment stoppage at Skutskär Pulp
Mill in Sweden in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Fine paper sales were EUR 563 million, up 25% on the third quarter of 2009
mainly due to an improved mix following restructuring, higher sales prices and
volumes, and favourable exchange rates. Operating profit was EUR 71 million, up
EUR 50 million on the previous year as higher sales more than offset higher pulp
and other costs.
Various units had their annual maintenance stoppages during the third quarter of
2010, and they proceeded as expected.

Consumer board sales were EUR 594 million, up 26% on the third quarter of 2009
as board and pulp volumes and prices were overall higher than a year ago,
especially following the restart of production at Enocell Pulp Mill. Operating
profit was EUR 78 million, up EUR 13 million on a year ago as the higher volumes
and sales prices more than offset higher variable costs, especially for pulp.
Net impact of exchange rate development was slightly negative.
Scheduled maintenance stoppages and related start-ups at the Imatra and Enocell
mills in Finland were successfully completed. The annual major maintenance
stoppage at Skoghall Mill in Sweden will be during the fourth quarter of 2010.
Production of short-fibre pulp will be curtailed at Imatra Mill due to the
limited supply of birch pulpwood.

Industrial packaging sales were EUR 225 million, up 11% on the third quarter of
2009 due to higher sales prices and higher volumes in the remaining operations
following divestment of the laminating paper business, although the segment's
total volumes decreased because of the divestment. Operating profit was EUR 19
million, up EUR 8 million on the previous year as higher sales more than offset
higher variable costs especially for RCP and corrugated raw material.

Wood product sales were EUR 424 million, up 38% on the third quarter of 2009
mainly due to higher sales prices and higher volumes. Operating profit was EUR
25 million, up EUR 16 million on a year earlier as the higher sales prices more
than offset clearly higher wood costs. Fixed costs were higher, mainly because
volumes increased.
Temporary production curtailments are being planned in case market conditions
deteriorate or raw material costs become excessive.

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 2009:
Taxes on income in the Interim Review have been calculated using the estimated
average annual effective income tax rate applied to the pre-tax income of the
interim period.
The following amendments to standards and interpretations were adopted from 1
January 2010 but had no impact on the Group financial statements;
IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards -
Additional Exemptions for First-time Adopters (Amendments).
IFRS 2 Group Cash-settled Share-based Payment Arrangements clarifies the scope
and the accounting for group cash-settled share-based payment transactions.
IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement - Eligible hedged
items (Amendment) clarifies that an entity is permitted to designate a portion
of the fair value changes or cash flow variability of a financial instrument as
a hedged item. This also covers the designation of inflation as a hedged risk or
portion in particular situations.
IFRIC 17 Distributions on Non-cash Assets to Owners provides guidance on the
appropriate accounting treatment when an entity distributes assets other than
cash as dividends to its shareholders.

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