RAUTE CORPORATION  INTERIM REPORT  29 APRIL 2010 AT 9:00 A.M.                   

RAUTE CORPORATION - INTERIM REPORT JANUARY 1 - MARCH 31, 2010                   

- The Group's net sales, EUR 10.4 million (MEUR 11.4), fell by 8% on the        
comparison period.                                                              
- Operating profit EUR -1.4 million (MEUR -2.2) was negative. The result before 
tax was EUR -1.4 million (MEUR -2.1).                                           
- Earnings per share were EUR -0.24 (EUR -0.47).                                
- The order intake was EUR 25 million (MEUR 4) and the order book at the end of 
the reporting period increased to EUR 37 million (MEUR 17).                     
- The outlook for net sales and profit has remained unchanged. Net sales for the
entire year 2010 will increase and operating profit will improve from 2009.     
Achieving a positive operating profit and its amount will depend on the order   
intake by the end of the summer.                                                


MR. TAPANI KIISKI, PRESIDENT AND CEO: 2010 STARTS OFF WITH IMPROVED ORDER BOOK  

The year 2010 has started off on a more promising note than the previous year,  
despite the fact that our net sales still remained lower during the first       
quarter than during the comparison period and our operating profit continued to 
be negative. The two major project orders that we received for our order book   
last December and in January already started to generate net sales in March. Net
sales improved by over a third compared to the last quarter of 2009. To continue
the profitability-enhancing restructuring and development measures implemented  
last year we decided to transfer the production operations of our Jyväskylä unit
to our main plant in Nastola. We have also continued the adjustment measures    
concerning our personnel.                                                       

In January we received a significant mill-scale order from the Asia-Pacific     
area. During the reporting period we also received a few orders for smaller     
project deliveries. However, the weak market situation is not over yet, and this
has also continued to affect the demand for technology services. The activity of
our customers has picked up in many market areas, giving some hope of an upturn 
in the market situation. Nevertheless, the timing and implementation of         
customers' new investment decisions and the development of our order book       
following these orders is still difficult to predict.                           

Our profit development during the early part of the year and our improved order 
book put us in a better position in 2010 than last year. This year will,        
however, again be a challenging one for Raute. Due to a low comparison level, we
expect our growth to be strong in terms of net sales growth percentage, but in  
absolute terms, our net sales will still remain quite low. Our challenge lies in
significantly improving the profitability of our business operations in the     
current market and price competition setting.                                   
RAUTE CORPORATION - INTERIM REPORT JANUARY 1 - MARCH 31, 2010                   


BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT                                                            

Market situation in customer industries                                         

2010 will continue to be challenging in all market areas for Raute's customer   
industries. The plywood and LVL industries, manufacturers of wood-based panel   
products used in investment commodities, are highly affected by fluctuations in 
the fields of construction, housing-related consumption, international trade,   
and transportation. As a result of the ongoing difficult situation in the       
construction and transport industries, demand for wood-based panel products has 
remained at a low level in all market areas that are important to Raute. The    
majority of the mills are still adjusting their production volumes to the lower 
demand by shortening their workweek and implementing shut-down periods of varied
duration. Production is still shut down at the plywood mills with the poorest   
profitability and the lowest efficiency.                                        

Demand for wood products technology and technology services                     

Due to the low demand for wood-based panel products and the market outlook,     
investment activity in the plywood industry has remained at a low level in all  
market areas. Among the mill-scale projects that had long been in the planning  
in several market areas, a project was started in the Asia-Pacific area for     
which Raute will supply a significant part of the equipment. As for the other   
projects in the planning stage, investment decisions have been further delayed. 
Investments in the LVL industry, which is dependent on construction industry    
activity, remain at a low level in all market areas. The challenges of the      
financing markets in the emerging markets that are important to Raute and the   
conditions of long-term financing continue to restrict the investments of       
Raute's customers.                                                              

Demand for maintenance and spare parts services will not improve until capacity 
utilization rates for plywood recover 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, equipment modernization,    
consulting, training, and reconditioned machinery.                              

The first-quarter order intake, EUR 25 million (MEUR 4), was at good level,     
considering the market situation. 67 percent of orders received came from the   
Asia-Pacific area, 16 percent from North America, 12 percent from Russia and 5  
percent from other market areas. Technology services accounted for EUR 3 million
(MEUR 2) of the order intake.                                                   

In January, Raute received a significant new order from an established plywood  
producer operating in the Asia-Pacific area for nearly all of the production    
lines in a plywood mill. Machine deliveries are scheduled between June and      
September 2010 and the start-up of the mill will take place by summer 2011.     
Other major new orders received during the first quarter were for a dryer to the
U.S. and a peeling line to Russia.                                              

The order book grew during the reporting period by EUR 15 million, amounting to 
EUR 37 million at the end of the period (MEUR 17).                              


COMPETITIVE POSITION                                                            

There have been no essential changes in Raute's competitive position, and thus  
Raute will be competitive when demand recovers. Customers appreciate            
comprehensive competence and strong technology development in their strategic   
investments aimed at ensuring their ability to deliver and provide service and  
to improve their competitiveness. The competitive advantage provided by Raute's 
technology plays an important role when customers select their suppliers.       Raute's strong financial position also enhances its credibility and improves its
competitive position as an executor of long-term investment projects.           


NET SALES                                                                       

Net sales for the reporting period totaled EUR 10.4 million (MEUR 11.4), down   
8 percent on the first quarter of 2009. The decline in net sales resulted from  
the timing of deliveries in the order book. Net sales was, however, up on the   
last three quarters of last year.                                               

Net sales were generated exclusively by project deliveries and technology       
services related to the wood products technology business. Technology services  
accounted for 39 percent (30 %) of net sales for the reporting period.          

Russia's share of the total net sales was 45 percent (19%), Europe's 21 percent 
(58%), North America's 20 percent (6%) and the share of other market areas      
14 percent (17%).                                                               


RESULT AND PROFITABILITY                                                        

Operating profit was EUR 1.4 million in the negative (MEUR 2.2 negative) and    
accounted for -13 percent (-19%) of net sales.                                  

The first-quarter result was negative due to low net sales. The two significant 
new orders received in December and in January did not start to show in the     
production workload and net sales growth until March. March accounted for over  
half of the net sales generated during the reporting period.                    
To adapt to the prevailing market situation and to streamline operations, Raute 
decided to transfer the production operations of its Jyväskylä unit to the main 
production plant in Nastola. A total of EUR 0.3 million in one-time costs was   
expensed in the first quarter for the restructuring and valuation of the        
Jyväskylä industrial real estate to the actual sales price in April.            

Result before tax for the reporting period was EUR 1.4 million in the negative  
(MEUR 2.1 negative). Result for the reporting period was EUR 1.0 million in the 
negative (MEUR 1.9 negative). Earnings per share (undiluted) were EUR -0.24 (EUR
-0.47).                                                                         


CASH FLOW AND BALANCE SHEET                                                     

The Group's financial position is good. At the end of the reporting period,     
gearing was -54 percent (-36%) and equity ratio 44 percent (60%). The           
fluctuation in balance sheet items and the key figures based on them is a result
of differences in the timing of customer payments and the cost accumulation from
project deliveries, which is typical of project business.                       

Raute's liquid assets stood at EUR 30.4 million (MEUR 21.8) at the end of the   
reporting period. Operating cash flow was EUR 2.9 million positive (MEUR 1.0).  
Cash flow from investment activities totaled EUR -0.5 million (MEUR -0.2). Cash 
flow from financing activities was EUR -0.1 million (MEUR -0.1).                

Interest-bearing liabilities amounted to EUR 18.4 million (MEUR 10.3) at the end
of the reporting period, with TyEL loans accounting for EUR 18.0 million (MEUR  
10.0) Unused long-term credit limits amounted to EUR 8 million (MEUR 14). The   
company also has a EUR 10 million (MEUR 10) commercial paper program.           


DEVELOPMENT OF OPERATIONS                                                       

At the end of March, Raute decided to transfer the production operations of its 
Jyväskylä unit to Nastola. Other operations related to panel handling           
technology, such as planning, and local maintenance services remain in          
Jyväskylä. The objective is to increase the efficiency of operations and to     
improve profitability as the difficult market situation drags on.               

Between May and September, Raute's Canadian unit will move to new leased        
premises that are better aligned with the current operating model. Production   
investments will be carried out in connection with the move to improve          
productivity and shorten delivery times.                                        


RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS AND CAPITAL EXPENDITURES                         

Research and development costs totaled EUR 0.3 million (MEUR 0.8) in the        
reporting period, representing 3.1 percent (6.6 %) of net sales.                

Investments totaled EUR 0.5 million (MEUR 0.2) and were mainly targeted at      
developing production in the Canadian unit. Investments do not include          
capitalized development costs (MEUR 0.1).                                       


PERSONNEL                                                                       

The Group's headcount at the end of the reporting period was 506 (547). Group   
companies outside Finland accounted for 25 percent (23%) of employees.          

The number of personnel was adjusted during the reporting period by 25 percent  
(16%) and the Group's entire personnel was affected by temporary lay-offs of  
varied duration and other adjustment arrangements. Converted to full-time       
employees, the average number of employees was 386 (465).                       

During the reporting period, negotiations in accordance with the Act on         
Co-operation within Undertakings were carried out in the Group on transferring  
the production operations of the Jyväskylä unit to the Group's Nastola plant.   
Previously negotiated adjustment measures will be continued over the course of  
the year according to the work situation.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2010                                                     

Raute Corporation's Annual General Meeting was held on March 31, 2010. It       
adopted the financial statements for 2009, granted discharge from liability to  
those accountable and decided that no dividend shall be distributed for 2009 and
that the loss for the financial year be transferred to retained earnings.       

The Annual General Meeting elected the company's Board of Directors for a term  
that expires at the end of the Annual General Meeting of 2011. Mr. Erkki        
Pehu-Lehtonen was elected Chairman of the Board, Ms. Sinikka Mustakallio        
Vice-Chair and Mr. Risto Hautamäki, Mr. Ilpo Helander, Mr. Mika Mustakallio and 
Mr. Pekka Suominen as Board members.                                            

The authorized public accounting company PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy was chosen as
auditor with Authorized Public Accountant Janne Rajalahti as the principal      
auditor.                                                                        

The Annual General Meeting decided that the remuneration paid to the Chairman of
the Board will be EUR 40,000 and to the Vice-Chairman of the Board and Board    
members EUR 20,000 for the term of office and that the Board Members' traveling 
expenses will be compensated in accordance with the company's travel policy. The
auditors' remuneration will be paid on the basis of reasonable invoicing.       

The Annual General Meeting decided on issuing stock options to the key personnel
of Raute Group.

repurchase of the company's series A shares with the company's distributable    
assets and a directed issue of a maximum of 400,000 of these shares.            

More detailed information on the decisions of the Annual General Meeting can be 
found in the stock exchange release issued on March 31, 2010.                   


DISTRIBUTION OF DIVIDEND FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR 2009                            

The Annual General Meeting held on March 31, 2010 decided that no dividend be

retained earnings.                                                              


CORPORATE GOVERNANCE                                                            

As of January 1, 2009, Raute Corporation complies with the Finnish Corporate    
Governance Code for listed companies issued by the Securities Market Association
on October 20, 2008. Raute deviates from the recommendation 22 to elect members 
to the Appointments Committee in that one member to the Committee is elected    
from outside the Board of Directors, from among the major shareholders who have 
significant voting rights. The Board views this exception as justified, when    
taking into consideration the company's ownership structure and the possibility 
to consider the expectations of major shareholders as early as in the           
preparation phase of selecting members of the Board of Directors. An outline of 
Raute Corporation's corporate governance principles is presented on the         
company's website at www.raute.com.                                             

Raute Corporation's Corporate Governance Statement 2009 has been drawn up       
separately from the financial statements and is published on the company's      
website.                                                                        


BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND BOARD COMMITTEES                                         

The Board of Directors elected by Raute Corporation's Annual General Meeting on 
March 31, 2010 has held an organizing meeting.                                  

Based on the evaluation of independence, Chairman Erkki Pehu-Lehtonen and       
members Risto Hautamäki, Ilpo Helander, Mika Mustakallio and Pekka Suominen are 
independent of the company. Vice-Chair Sinikka Mustakallio, who chaired Raute's 
Supervisory Board from 1996 to 1998 and has acted as a member of the Board since
1998, is dependent on the company. The Chairman of the Board (Erkki             
Pehu-Lehtonen) and two Board members (Ilpo Helander and Risto Hautamäki) are    
independent of major shareholders.                                              

Raute Corporation's Board of Directors has an Appointments Committee and a      
Working Committee. The Appointments Committee is chaired by Erkki Pehu-Lehtonen 
and its members are Sinikka Mustakallio and Ville Korhonen, who has been elected
by the major shareholders from among themselves. The Working Committee is       
chaired by Erkki Pehu-Lehtonen and its members are Sinikka Mustakallio and Risto
Hautamäki. The Audit Committee's tasks are handled by the Board of Directors.   


EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD                                               

On April 22, 2010, the company gave a flagging notification concerning the      
increase of Göran Sundholm's ownership share to 15.02 percent of the total      
number of the company's shares.                                                 


BUSINESS RISKS                                                                  

Risks in the near term continue to be driven by the global economic situation   
and the uncertainty concerning its development. During the reporting period,    
there have been no essential changes in the business risks described in the 2009
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 2010                                                                

Due to the uncertainty related to the development of the global economy and     
financial markets, the market situation of Raute's customer industries is       
expected to continue to be uncertain. Demand for investments and services in the
wood products industry is not expected to improve significantly during 2010.    
Individual mill-scale investment projects, through which customers are already  
making preparations for the period following the present recession, are,        
however, in the planning phase in many market areas.  There is still            
uncertainties related to their implementation and scheduling. In addition,      
restructuring resulting from the difficult situation in the customer industries 
may activate new investment projects.                                           

Thanks to its strong financial position, market position and the implemented    
development efforts, Raute's ability to survive the economic slowdown and to    
respond to growing demand as soon as the markets recover will be excellent.     

The outlook for net sales and profit has remained unchanged. Net sales for the  
entire year 2010 will increase and operating profit will improve from 2009.     
Achieving a positive operating profit and its amount will depend on the order   
intake by the end of the summer.

The following new standards, standard amendments, and interpretations are in    
effect for the financial year beginning January 1, 2010, but they did not       
significantly affect the result or the balance of the Group or the financial    
statement presentation:                                                         

- IFRS 2 Share-Based Payments.                                                  

The figures presented in the Interim financial report have not been audited     
except the figures for the financial statements for 2009. Figures in parentheses
refer to the corresponding figures in the comparison period. All the monetary   
figures presented in this interim report are in thousands euros, unless         
otherwise stated.  Due to the rounding of the figures in the financial statement
tables, the sums of figures may deviate from the sum total presented in the     
table.                                                                          

The preparation of Interim financial report according to IFRS-standards requires
management to use estimates and assumptions when adopting accounting principles.
In addition, the management must exercise its judgement in selecting and        
applying the accounting policies. These estimates and assumptions affect the    
assets and liabilities in the Group's balance sheet, the disclosure of          
commitments and possible assets in the consolidated financial statements, and   
income and expenses for the period. Actual results                              
may differ from the estimates.                                                  

3. Segment information                                                          
Operational segment

The significant part of the Group's net sales (project deliveries and           
modernization in technology services) include both product and service sales.   
Breakdown of the Group's net sales into purely product and service sales cannot 
be presented reliably.

The taxes in the consolidated income statement include the taxes corresponding  
to the Group companies' taxable profit for the financial period as well as tax  
adjustments for the previous years and the change in deferred taxes. Current tax
based on the taxable income is calculated on taxable income using the tax rate  
in force in each country. Deferred tax receivables are recognized to the extent 
that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which        
temporary differences can be utilized.
