The market in 2009

The global economy experienced a severe recession in 2009 as the financial
crisis
spread into the real economy. Consumer confidence bottomed out at a historic
low level both in Europe and in the US. Declining demand led to lower
industrial production, exports and investments. The global economy showed
signals of stabilisation in the third quarter of 2009 supported by rebounding
confidence and a pickup in global trade. This was partly driven by China, which
performed exceptionally well during the recession in comparison with any other
major country.

The euro strengthened against the US dollar from February onwards and weakened
the competitiveness of euro-area industries.

The UK pound, the Russian rouble and the Swedish crown also weakened against
the euro.

Prices for commodities and raw materials were declining most of the year but
started to increase in the late autumn as the economy started to stabilise.

Demand for wood raw material decreased from the previous year due to
exceptionally low industrial production and high wood inventories in the
beginning of the year. Average market prices in Finland declined from peak
years of 2007-2007.

Demand for chemical pulp declined in the first half of the year, but a rebound
took place in the second half of the year due to strong demand in China.
Chemical pulp market prices started to increase after the second quarter of the
year.

Global advertising expenditure plummeted under the global economic downturn. In
Europe, total advertising expenditure fell more than 10% in 2009 while the
print media spend declined by some 15%. Although print advertising lost some of
its share, it held its place as the largest media in Europe and as the second
largest media globally after television. Global direct mail expenditure held up
better than total advertising, declining by 4% from the previous year.

As a consequence of the decline in print advertising, the demand for graphic
papers in Europe and North America declined. Market balance remained weak
throughout the year.

The retail sector both in Europe and in the US suffered from the low level of
private consumption. The demand shifted towards discount stores at the expense
of branded products and affected the demand for packaging materials as well as
the advertising focus of the retail sector.

Exceptionally low construction activity in 2009 decreased demand for building
materials, including wood-based materials. The construction confidence
indicator started to improve in late 2009, but still remained at a very low
level.

Results

Q4 of 2009 compared with Q4 of 2008

Sales for the fourth quarter of 2009 were EUR 2,108 million, 9% lower than the
EUR 2,315 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. Sales decreased mainly due to
lower sales prices in most of UPM's business areas.

Operating profit was EUR 126 million, 6.0% of sales (loss of EUR 286 million,
-12.4% of sales). The operating profit excluding special items was EUR 186
million, 8.8% of sales (loss of EUR 46 million, -2.0% of sales). Operating
profit includes net charges of EUR 60 million as special items, including
restructuring charges of EUR 44 million in Timber and Plywood operations in
Finland.

Operating profit excluding special items was clearly better than in the same
quarter last year. The comparison period was exceptionally weak, as it included
a wood inventory write down and extensive production downtime in paper, pulp
and plywood mills and sawmills.

The improvement in profitability was mainly driven by lower variable and fixed
costs. Wood costs declined by EUR 80 million from the previous year. Other
variable costs also decreased clearly, including EUR 25 million saved in lower
energy costs.

Cost-saving measures reduced the company's fixed costs by EUR 60 million in
comparison with the same period last year. As part of the measures, UPM
initiated a flexible operating mode in the beginning of 2009, using temporary
capacity shutdowns to adjust production to the low demand.

Changes in sales prices in euro terms reduced operating profit by about EUR 160
million. The average paper price in euros decreased by approximately 8% from
the same period last year. The average price for label materials in local
currencies was about the same. Timber and plywood prices fell substantially.

The increase in the fair value of biological assets net of wood harvested was
EUR 9 million compared to a decrease of EUR 2 million a year before.

The share of results of associated companies and joint ventures was EUR 1
million (16 million negative). The accounting treatment of the associated
company Metsä-Botnia was changed as of 30 June 2009. As of December 2009,
Metsä-Botnia no longer is UPM's associated company (see Pulp business area
footnote 3).

Profit before tax was EUR 311 million (loss of EUR 360 million) and excluding
special items EUR 156 million (loss of EUR 120 million). Special items of EUR
215 million reported in financial items include a capital gain of EUR 220
million on the sales of the approximately 30% share in Metsä-Botnia and a
capital loss of EUR 5 million related to investments in development units.
Interest and other finance costs, excluding special items, were EUR 30 million
(60 million) net. Exchange rate and fair value gains and losses were
EUR 0 million (loss of EUR 14 million).

Income taxes were EUR 16 million (74 million positive). The impact on taxes
from special items was EUR 28 million positive (51 million positive).

Profit for the fourth quarter was EUR 295 million (loss of EUR 286 million) and
earnings per share were EUR 0.57 (-0.56). Earnings per share excluding special
items were EUR 0.21 (-0.19).

2009 compared with 2008

Sales for 2009 were EUR 7,719 million, 18% lower than the EUR 9,461 million in
2008. Sales decreased mainly due to lower deliveries across all of UPM's
business areas.

Operating profit was EUR 135 million, 1.7% of sales (24 million, 0.3% of
sales). The operating profit excluding special items was EUR 270 million, 3.5%
of sales (513 million, 5.4% of sales). Operating profit includes net charges of
EUR 135 million as special items. UPM sold assets related to the former
Miramichi paper mill in Canada and recorded an income of EUR 21 million.
Restructuring measures resulted in net special charges of EUR 109 million
including impairment charges of EUR 18 million. The share of the results of
associated companies includes special charges of EUR 47 million.

Operating profit declined clearly from the previous year. The main reason for
weaker profitability was significantly lower deliveries in all of UPM's
business areas. Lower sales prices also impacted operating profit negatively.

Changes in sales prices in euro terms reduced operating profit by about EUR 260
million. The average paper price in euros decreased by approximately 3% from
last year. The average price for label materials increased. Timber and plywood
prices fell substantially.

UPM responded to lower demand with a flexible way of operating in all of its
business areas, using temporary capacity shutdowns to adjust production to the
low demand. Due to cost saving measures, the company's fixed costs decreased by
EUR 300 million from the previous year.

Wood costs decreased from their earlier peak levels. Compared with last year,
wood costs decreased by EUR 190 million. Energy costs increased slightly.

The increase in the fair value of biological assets net of wood harvested was
EUR 17 million compared to EUR 50 million a year before.

The share of results of associated companies and joint ventures was EUR 95
million negative (62 million positive). The result includes special charges of
EUR 29 million from Metsä-Botnia's Kaskinen pulp mill closure, and impairment
charges of EUR 18 million related to Pohjolan Voima's two power plants. The
accounting treatment of the associated company Metsä-Botnia was changed as of
30 June 2009. As of December 2009, Metsä-Botnia no longer is UPM's associated
company (see Pulp business area footnote 3).

Profit before tax was EUR 187 million (loss of EUR 201 million). Profit before
tax excluding special items was EUR 107 million (282 million). Special items of
EUR 215 million reported in financial items include a capital gain of EUR 220
million on the sales of the approximately 30% share in Metsä-Botnia and a
capital loss of EUR 5 million related to investments in development units.
Interest and other finance costs, excluding special items, were EUR 153 million
(202 million) net. Exchange rate and fair value gains and losses resulted in a
loss of EUR 9 million (25 million).

Income taxes were EUR 18 million (21 million positive). The impact on taxes
from special items was EUR 31 million positive (86 million positive).

Profit for the period was EUR 169 million (loss of EUR 180 million) and
earnings per share were EUR 0.33 (-0.35). Earnings per share excluding special
items were EUR 0.11 (0.42). Operating cash flow per share was EUR 2.42 (1.21).

Financing

In 2009, cash flow from operating activities before capital expenditure and
financing, was EUR 1,259 million (628 million). Net working capital decreased
by EUR 532 million during the period (increased by EUR 132 million).

The gearing ratio as of 31 December 2009 was 56% (71%). Net interest-bearing
liabilities at the end of the period came to EUR 3,730 million (4,321 million).
This includes the consolidated debt from the acquired Fray Bentos pulp mill and
Forestal Oriental plantation forestry company.

In March 2009, UPM replaced the EUR 1.5 billion credit facility that was to
mature in 2010 with a new EUR 825 million credit facility, maturing in 2012.

On 31 December 2009, UPM's cash funds and unused committed credit facilities
totalled EUR 2.2 billion.

Personnel

In 2009, UPM had an average of 23,618 employees (26,017). At the beginning of
the year, the number of employees was 24,983 and at the end of the year it was
23,213. The reduction of 2,294 employees, excluding the impact of Uruguay,
is mostly attributable to ongoing restructuring. The acquisition of the
Fray Bentos pulp mill and Forestal Oriental plantation forestry
company added 524 employees.

Capital expenditure

In 2009, capital expenditure was EUR 913 million, 11.8% of sales (EUR 551
million, 5.8% of sales) and excluding acquisitions and share purchases, EUR 229
million, 3.0% of sales (EUR 532 million, 5.6% of sales). Acquisition of
Metsä-Botnia's Uruguayan operations amounted to EUR 602 million. Operational
capital expenditure totalled EUR 148 million (235 million).

The new renewable energy power plant at the Caledonian mill in Irvine, Scotland
was started in June. The total investment cost was GBP 68 million.

UPM continued its tight investment discipline during 2009. Only few new
investment decisions were made. The largest ongoing project is now the rebuild
of the debarking plant at the Pietarsaari mill in Finland. The total investment
cost is estimated to be EUR 30 million.

In December 2009, UPM made a decision to invest GBP 17 million in a materials
recovery facility at its Shotton paper mill in North Wales. Construction of the
facility will be completed by January 2011.

The ownership of Botnia and its assets in Uruguay

On 8 December, UPM, Metsäliitto Cooperative, M-real Corporation and Oy
Metsä-Botnia Ab (Botnia) completed a transaction whereby Metsäliitto's and
Botnia's shares of the Fray Bentos pulp mill and the eucalyptus plantation
forestry company Forestal Oriental in Uruguay were acquired by UPM and UPM sold
approximately 30% in Botnia to Metsäliitto. In addition UPM acquired 1.2% of
the energy company Pohjolan Voima Oy from Botnia. The companies signed an
agreement concerning the transaction on 22 October 2009.

Following the transaction, UPM has a 91% ownership of common shares in the Fray
Bentos pulp mill, 100% in Forestal Oriental and 17% in Botnia. As of December
2009, Botnia no longer is UPM's associated company but accounted for as an
available-for-sale investment. Consequently, UPM's own annual pulp production
capacity increased from 2.1 million tonnes to 3.2 million tonnes a year and
UPM's share of Botnia's capacity was reduced to 400,000 tonnes. UPM's total
pulp production capacity including its entitlement to Botnia's capacity is 3.6
million tonnes a year.

UPM recorded a EUR 220 million capital gain on the sale of Botnia's shares.
UPM's assets increased by EUR 1,209 million and interest-bearing net debt by
EUR 370 million. In addition, the changes in fair values of the previous
holding increased UPM's equity by EUR 443 million.

Pro forma financial information

If the Botnia transaction had occurred on 1 January 2009,
UPM's sales would have been EUR 7,923 million, operating profit EUR 202
million, and operating profit excluding special items EUR 308 million. Profit
for the period would have been EUR 219 million.

Restructuring

The Kajaani paper mill and Tervasaari pulp mill closures were completed at the
end of 2008. Due to the reduced demand for paper and pulp, the closures had
only minor impact on UPM's paper or pulp deliveries.

The Label business restructured its European operations in 2009. The plan was
announced in November 2008. UPM Raflatac permanently closed a number of
self-adhesive labelstock production lines and reduced slitting capacity in the
United Kingdom, France, Germany, Hungary and Finland. One slitting terminal was
also closed in the United States. The restructuring was completed by the end of
the third quarter of 2009.

In November 2009, UPM announced a plan to improve the plywood and timber
businesses' long term cost competitiveness and increase added value in birch
plywood production in Finland. Decisions on the plan were announced in January
2010. UPM will permanently close the plywood mill and sawmill in Heinola, the
Kaukas plywood mill in Lappeenranta, and the further processing mill in Parkano
during the first half of 2010. These measures will decrease the number of UPM
employees by approximately 830.

As part of the restructuring, UPM will invest approximately EUR 25 million in
the expansion of the Savonlinna plywood mill and the development of production
at the Kaukas sawmill and the Aureskoski further processing mill.

The Lahti plywood processing mill was closed in October and its production was
moved to other mills.

In Forest and timber, a further processing mill in Boulogne in France was
closed in August and the operations were centralised to the Aigrefeuille mill.

Restructuring has been necessary to improve cost competitiveness. The measures
taken in 2009, together with measures initiated in previous years, reduced the
number of employees by 2,300 from the end of 2008. Out of these, 620 were due
to closures of production. The annualised employee-related cost savings are
about EUR 115 million.

Shares

UPM shares worth EUR 5,691 million (10,549 million) in total were traded on the
NASDAQ OMX Helsinki stock exchange during 2009. The highest quotation was EUR
9.78 in January and the lowest EUR 4.33 in April.

The company's ADSs are traded on the US over-the-counter (OTC) market under a
Level 1 sponsored American Depositary Receipt programme.

The Annual General Meeting held on 25 March 2009 approved a proposal by the
Board of Directors to authorise the Board of Directors to decide on the
buy-back of not more than 51,000,000 of the company's own shares. The
authorisation is valid for 18 months from the date of the decision.

The Annual General Meeting of 27 March 2007 authorised the Board to decide on a
free issue of shares to the company itself so that the total number of shares
to be issued to the company combined with the number of its own shares bought
back under the buy-back authorisation may not exceed 1/10 of the total number
of shares in the company.

In addition, the Board has the authority to decide to issue shares and special
rights entitling the holder to shares of the company. The number of new shares
to be issued, including shares to be obtained under special rights, shall be no
more than 250,000,000. Of that, the maximum number that can be issued to the
company's shareholders based on their pre-emptive rights is 250,000,000 shares
and the maximum number that can be issued deviating from the shareholders'
pre-emptive rights in a directed share issue is 100,000,000 shares. The maximum
number of new shares to be issued as part of the company's incentive programmes
is 5,000,000. Furthermore, the Board is authorised to decide on the disposal of
the company's own shares. To date, this authorisation has not been used. These
authorisations of the Annual General Meeting 2007 will remain valid for no more
than three years from the date of the decision.

The Annual General Meeting of 27 March 2007 also decided to grant share options
in connection with the company's share-based incentive plans. In option
programmes 2007A, 2007B and 2007C, the total number of share options is no more
than 15,000,000 and they will entitle the holders to subscribe for a total of
no more than 15,000,000 new shares in the company.

The Annual General Meeting of 2005 decided to grant a total of 9,000,000 share
options of which the total number of share options designated as 2005H was not
more than 3,000,000, and would entitle the holders to subscribe for a total of
no more than 3,000,000 new shares. The share options designated as 2005H are
outstanding as at 31 December 2009. The share options designated as 2005G
expired at the end of October 2009. No shares were subscribed with share
options 2005G.

Apart from the above, the Board of Directors has no current authorisation to
issue shares, convertible bonds or share options.

The number of shares entered in the Trade Register on 31 December 2009 was
519,970,088. Through the issuance authorisation and share options, the number
of shares may increase to a maximum of 787,970,088.

At the end of the year the company did not hold any of its own shares.

The company has received the following notifications from shareholders:
BlackRock Inc. on 8 December 2009 held 5.36% of UPM's shares and voting rights.
Franklin Templeton on 27 July 2009 announced its ownership in UPM had declined
below 5% of the company's shares and voting rights.

Grotenfelt as members.

Litigation and other legal actions

The investigations of certain competition authorities into alleged antitrust
activities with respect to various UPM products, as well as litigation arising
therefrom, have ended in all material respects.

In Finland, UPM is participating in the building project of a new nuclear power
plant, Olkiluoto 3, through its associated company Pohjolan Voima Oy. Pohjolan
Voima Oy is a majority shareholder of Teollisuuden Voima Oy ("TVO") with 58.12%
of shares. UPM's indirect share of the capacity of the Olkiluoto 3 is
approximately 29 %. The original agreed timetable for the start up was summer
2009 but the construction of the unit is delayed. The latest anticipated
start-up time is after June 2012. TVO has requested the plant supplier, the
consortium AREVA-Siemens, to provide a re-analysis of the anticipated start-up
time.

TVO has informed UPM that the arbitration filed in December 2008 by
AREVA-Siemens, concerning the delay at Olkiluoto 3 and related costs, amounted
to EUR 1.0 billion. In response, TVO filed a counter-claim in April 2009 for
costs and losses that TVO is incurring due to the delay and other defaults on
the part of the supplier. The value of TVO's counterclaim was approximately EUR
1.4 billion.

Events after the balance sheet date

The Group's management is not aware of any significant events occurring after
31 December 2009.

Risk factors

UPM has increased its ownership interest in the Fray Bentos pulp mill in
Uruguay to 91% as a result of the acqusition of Metsäliitto Cooperative's and
Oy Metsä-Botnia Ab's shares in the Fray Bentos pulp mill in December 2009.
There are three separate litigations pending against the government of Uruguay
related to the Fray Bentos pulp mill, and one litigation directly against the
company operating the pulp mill. All of these litigations have been commenced
before the pulp mill started its operations in November 2007 and may last
several years.

Outlook for 2010

Recovery in UPM's main markets is expected to be slow and differ country by
country. Demand for consumer goods is forecast to improve, but advertising
expenditure in print media and demand for graphic papers are expected to
improve with some delay. Investment activity, including construction, has shown
only weak signs of recovery and this will delay pick up in demand for
construction materials such as timber and plywood. In Asia growth is expected
to continue especially in China.

Low capacity utilisation rates of the company's timber, plywood and European
paper mills will continue. Necessary production curtailments will require
continuation of a flexible way of working in these operations.

Electricity generation volume will be about the same as last year. This is
assuming that lower than average hydrological balance continues in Finland.
Based on current forward sale agreements and Nordpool forward prices, average
sales price for electricity is estimated to be about the same as last year.

Chemical pulp deliveries, on a comparable basis, are expected to be higher than
last year. Current prices for both hardwood and softwood pulp are higher than
last year.

Paper demand in Europe is forecast to increase from 2009 and thus UPM's paper
deliveries for 2010 are expected to be higher than last year. However, in
Europe negotiations for 2010 deliveries of publication papers are still ongoing
and there is a severe price pressure especially for newsprint deliveries. Price
outlook for fine and speciality papers is more positive due to better market
balance and increased cost of chemical pulp. Current estimate is that average
price for UPM's all paper deliveries for the year will be clearly lower than
last year. Order intake for the first quarter deliveries has been better than a
year ago but average price for these deliveries is clearly lower than last
year.

Demand for self-adhesive labelstock is estimated to improve from the last year
in all main markets. There are cost pressures especially from oil based raw
materials but on average prices are expected to increase to compensate at least
part of such cost increases.

The operating profit (excluding special items) for the year 2010 is not
expected to change materially from the last year. The first quarter is expected
to be seasonally the weakest quarter.

Capital expenditure for 2010 is forecast to be about EUR 300 million.

Dividend for 2009

The Board of Directors will propose to the Annual General Meeting to be held on
22 March 2010 that a dividend of EUR 0.45 per share be paid in respect of the
2009 financial year (EUR 0.40). It is proposed that the dividend be paid on 7
April 2010.

Financial information in 2010

The Annual Report for 2009 will be published on the company's website
www.upm-kymmene.com on 23 February 2010. The printed Annual Report will be

Voima's two power plants.

Q4 of 2009 compared with Q4 of 2008

Operating profit excluding special items was EUR 48 million, EUR 14 million
lower than last year (62 million). Sales decreased by 9% to EUR 128 million
(141 million). External sales was EUR 38 million (57 million). The total
electricity sales volume was 2.3 TWh in the quarter (2.7 TWh).

Profitability weakened mainly due to lower sales volumes. The hydropower volume
was 38% lower in comparison with the previous year.

2009 compared with 2008

Operating profit excluding special items was EUR 162 million (175 million).
Sales decreased slightly to EUR 472 million (478 million). External sales was
EUR 135 million (137 million). The electricity deliveries were 8.9 TWh (10.2
TWh).

Profitability weakened in comparison with the previous year due to lower sales
volumes as the annual volume of hydropower was almost 32% lower than last year.

The average electricity sales price increased by 17% to EUR 43.8/MWh (37.5/
MWh) mainly due to long-term market-based pricing formula. The average
cost of procured electricity increased due to the lower share of hydro power
volumes.

The share of results of associated companies includes asset write-downs of EUR
18 million related to Pohjolan Voima's two power plants.

Market review

In 2009, the average spot electricity price in the Nordic electricity exchange
decreased 22% from the previous year to EUR 35.0/MWh (44.7/MWh). The
consumption of electricity in the Nordic area decreased due to low industrial
activity.

The Nordic water reservoirs were 10% below the long term average level. The
average price for EUA CO2 emission allowances was EUR 13.8/t, almost 41% lower
than in the previous year. After a substantial decline in the market
prices of oil and coal during the second half of 2008, coal market prices
remained fairly stable in 2009. During 2009, oil market prices
increased from about USD 46/barrel to about USD 78/barrel.

The one-year forward electricity price in the Nordic electricity exchange was
EUR 42.5/MWh at the end of 2009, 12% higher than the one year forward price at
the end of 2008 (37.9/MWh).

1) EBITDA is operating profit before depreciation, amortisation and impairment
charges, excluding the change in value of biological assets and wood harvested,
the share of results of associated companies and joint ventures, and special
items.
2) In 2009, special items of EUR 29 million relate to the associated company
Metsä-Botnia's Kaskinen pulp mill closure. In 2008, special items of EUR 59
million relate to the closure of the Tervasaari pulp mill.
3) In the balance sheet in the interim report for January-June, on 30 June
2009, UPM has regrouped the 30% transferable share of Botnia's book value as
assets held for sale. Consequently, from July 2009, UPM has not included the
share of the transferable Botnia operations in the share of results of
associated companies.

Q4 of 2009 compared with Q4 of 2008

Operating profit excluding special items was EUR 35 million (loss of EUR 17
million). The sales from UPM's own pulp mills increased by 13% to EUR 226
million (200 million) and deliveries by 31% to 550,000 tonnes (421,000) mainly
attributed to the newly acquired Fray Bentos mill.

The share of results of the associated company Metsä-Botnia was profit of EUR 7
million (loss of EUR 4 million).

Profitability improved in comparison with the previous year due to lower wood
and energy costs. The sales price was lower.

The Fray Bentos mill and Forestal Oriental eucalyptus plantation forestry
company are included in the Pulp business area as of December 2009.
Consequently, Oy Metsä-Botnia Ab is no longer an associated company of UPM and
therefore is not reported on in the Pulp business area.

2009 compared with 2008

Operating loss excluding special items was EUR 127 million (profit of EUR 148
million). The sales from UPM's own pulp mills decreased by 31% to EUR 653
million (944 million) and deliveries by 11% to 1,759,000 tonnes (1,982,000).

Due to reduced internal consumption, the Tervasaari pulp mill closure at the
end of 2008 did not have a notable impact on deliveries.

Profitability weakened from last year mainly due to an approximately 23% lower
average pulp price and lower deliveries. Wood costs were at a high level until
autumn but started to decline towards the end of the year.

Chemical pulp inventories decreased from the beginning of the year and remained
low in the latter part of the year.

The share of results of the associated company Metsä-Botnia was loss of EUR 52
million (profit of EUR 86 million). The result includes special charges of EUR
29 million from Metsä-Botnia's Kaskinen mill closure.

The Fray Bentos mill and Forestal Oriental eucalyptus plantation forestry
company are included in the Pulp business area as of December 2009. As of the
same date, Oy Metsä-Botnia Ab is no longer an associated company of UPM and
therefore is not reported in the Pulp business area.

Market review

Annual shipments of global chemical market pulp increased almost 2% from the
previous year. In the first half of 2009, shipments declined from the
comparison period, but in the second part of the year, shipments increased due
to strong demand in China. Chemical pulp producer inventories declined from the
high level of the beginning of the year due to extensive production
curtailments and strong demand in China.

Chemical pulp market prices declined in the first half of the year but started
to increase during the second half. The average softwood pulp (NBSK) market
price in euro terms, at EUR 471/tonne, was 19% lower than in last year (EUR
582/tonne). The bottom market price during the period was EUR 421/tonne. At the
end of the year, the NBSK market price was EUR 555/ tonne.

The average hardwood pulp (BHKP) market price in euro terms also decreased by
25% from last year to EUR 402/tonne (EUR 539/tonne). The bottom market price
during the period was EUR 352/tonne. At the end of the year the BHKP market
price was EUR 486/tonne.

include an impairment charge of EUR 31 million related to fixed assets of
the Finnish sawmills.

Q4 of 2009 compared with Q4 of 2008

Operating profit excluding special items was EUR 35 million (loss of EUR 61
million). Sales declined by 17% to EUR 348 million (419 million). Sawn timber
deliveries decreased by 2% to 413,000 cubic metres (421,000).

The increase in the fair value of biological assets (growing trees) was EUR 52
million (12 million). The cost of wood raw material harvested from the Group's
own forests was EUR 42 million (14 million). The net effect was EUR 10 million
positive (2 million negative).

2009 compared with 2008

Operating profit excluding special items was EUR 22 million (loss of EUR 23
million). Sales declined by 30% to EUR 1,337 million (1,920 million). Sawn
timber deliveries decreased by 30% to 1,497,000 cubic metres (2,132,000).

Comparison period included a wood inventory write down of EUR 36 million, which
was booked at the end of year 2008.

The average price of delivered timber goods decreased by 7%.

Wood inventories decreased significantly from the beginning of the year and
released working capital.

The increase in the fair value of biological assets (growing trees) was EUR 98
million (138 million). The cost of wood raw material harvested from the Group's
own forests was EUR 80 million (88 million). The net effect was EUR 18 million
positive (50 million positive).

In November 2009, UPM announced restructuring plans to improve the
competitiveness of its Timber operations in Finland. UPM will permanently close
the sawmill in Heinola and the further processing mill in Parkano during the
first half of 2010.

Market review

Wood purchases in the Finnish wood market were 45% lower compared to the
previous year. However, market activity started to recover slightly towards the
end of the year.

Lower industrial production and high wood inventories at the beginning of the
year were the main reasons for lower purchases. Wood market prices declined by
an average of almost 20% compared to the previous year.

In 2009, demand for both redwood and whitewood sawn timber in Europe declined
substantially in comparison with the previous year. The weak market balance
resulted in lower prices.

1) EBITDA is operating profit before depreciation, amortisation and impairment
charges, excluding the change in value of biological assets and wood harvested,
the share of results of associated companies and joint ventures, and special
items.
2) In the fourth and third quarter of 2009, special items of EUR 8 million
and EUR 6 million relate to restructuring charges. Special items for
the second quarter of 2009 include charges of EUR 9 million related to
personnel reduction in Nordland mill, impairment reversals of EUR 4 million
and other restructuring charges of EUR 5 million. In the first
quarter of 2009, special items include an income of EUR 31 million
related to the sale of the assets of the former Miramichi paper mill and
charges of EUR 8 million related to restructuring measures. In 2008,
special items include the goodwill impairment charge of EUR 230 million,
impairment charges of EUR 101 million and other restructuring costs
of EUR 42 million related to the closure of the Kajaani paper mill,
and other restructuring costs, net of EUR 6 million.

Q4 of 2009 compared with Q4 of 2008

Operating profit excluding special items was EUR 82 million, EUR 55 million
higher than a year ago (27 million). Sales were EUR 1,558 million (1,750
million). Paper deliveries decreased by 3% to 2,521,000 tonnes (2,593,000).
Publication paper deliveries (magazine papers and newsprint) decreased by 13%.
Fine and speciality paper deliveries increased by 21% from the previous year,
driven especially by the recovery of fine paper demand in China.

Profitability improved from the comparison period. Lower paper prices had a
significant negative impact on profitability, but this was more than offset by
lower fibre and other variable costs, and decreased fixed costs.

The average price for all paper deliveries when translated into euros was 8%
lower than in the fourth quarter of 2008.

2009 compared with 2008

Operating profit excluding special items was EUR 346 million, EUR 96 million
higher than a year ago (250 million). Sales were EUR 5,767 million (7,011
million). Paper deliveries decreased by 15% to 9,021,000 tonnes (10,641,000).
Publication paper deliveries (magazine papers and newsprint) decreased by 20%
and fine and speciality paper deliveries by 6% from the previous year.

The Kajaani paper mill was closed at the end of 2008. Due to reduced demand,
the closure had only a minor impact on UPM's paper deliveries.

Profitability improved from the corresponding period last year. Lower
deliveries and sales prices had a significant negative impact on profitability,
but this was more than offset by lower costs for fibre, mainly for chemical
pulp, and decreased fixed costs.

The average price for all paper deliveries when translated into euros was 3%
lower than last year.

Market review

In Europe in 2009, demand for both publication papers and fine papers was 16%
lower than a year ago. In North America, demand for publication papers
continued to decline and was 22% down from last year. In Asia, however, demand
for fine papers grew.

In Europe, paper prices decreased in the fourth quarter of 2009 from the
previous quarter. For magazine papers, prices decreased by about 3% from the
third quarter and for newsprint by about 2%. Coated and uncoated fine paper
prices decreased by about 2%. In 2009, average prices decreased by 1% for
magazine papers and by 8% for uncoated fine paper, but increased by 2% for
newsprint. Coated fine paper prices remained unchanged from the previous year.

In North America, the average US dollar price for magazine papers was 13% lower
in 2009 than in 2008. In Asia, market prices for fine papers decreased from
last year, but increased in the second half of 2009 from the first half. In the
fourth quarter, prices had risen higher than in the same period last year.

2) In the fourth and third quarter of 2009, special items relate to
restructuring charges. In the second quarter of 2009, special items include
impairment charges of EUR 2 million and other restructuring charges of
EUR 3 million. In 2008, special items of EUR 28 million relate to
measures to reduce coating capacity and close two
slitting terminals in Europe.

Q4 of 2009 compared with Q4 of 2008

Operating profit excluding special items was EUR 17 million (loss of EUR 10
million). Sales were EUR 252 million (233 million).

Profitability improved clearly from the same period last year. Delivery volumes
of self-adhesive label materials grew from the previous year. Raw material
costs
were lower than last year. Fixed costs decreased. Average sales prices in local
currencies were on about the same level.

2009 compared with 2008

Operating profit excluding special items was EUR 43 million (2 million). Sales
were EUR 943 million (959 million).

Profitability improved from the same period last year due to decreased costs
and increased prices. Fixed costs decreased substantially and raw material
costs were lower than in the previous year. Average sales prices both in local
currency and converted to euros increased from last year.

Delivery volumes of self-adhesive label materials declined from last year,
driven by lower economic activity.

The restructuring of European operations was completed as planned by the end of
the third quarter. The restructuring, combined with the new plant in Wroclaw
that started up in November 2008, has improved the competitiveness of European
operations.

Market review

During the first half of the year, demand for self-adhesive label materials
declined in all markets from last year as demand for consumer products and
shipments of goods slowed down. Demand started to improve in the third quarter,
and in the fourth quarter it is estimated to have grown compared with the same
period last year.

2) Special items in the fourth quarter of 2009 include impairment charges of
E 6 million and other restructuring charges of E 24 million. Special items in
2008 include reversals of provisions related to the disposed Kuopio plywood
mill.

Q4 of 2009 compared with Q4 of 2008

Operating loss excluding special items was EUR 3 million (loss of EUR 10
million). Sales decreased by 21% to EUR 81 million (102 million). Plywood
deliveries declined by 6% to 150,000 cubic metres (160,000).

Plywood reported a smaller operating loss, than in the comparison period due to
decreased fixed costs and lower wood costs. Lower sales prices had a negative
impact on the results.

2009 compared with 2008

Operating loss excluding special items was EUR 51 million (profit of EUR 25
million). Sales decreased by 42% to EUR 306 million (530 million). Plywood
deliveries declined by 30% to 567,000 cubic metres (806,000).

Plywood reported an operating loss due to significantly lower delivery volumes
and sales prices than in the comparison period. Weak market demand led to
extensive production downtime at all mills. Material fixed cost reductions were
achieved throughout the organisation, but these could not compensate for the
adverse impact of lower deliveries and prices.

In November 2009, UPM announced a plan to improve the plywood businesses' long
term cost competitiveness and increase added value in birch plywood production
in Finland.

UPM will rebuild the Savonlinna plywood mill and permanently close the Heinola
and Kaukas mills. The Heinola mill was temporarily shut down from January 2009
onwards. The Kaukas plywood mill was temporarily shut down from May onwards.

At the Kalso veneer mill, a production automation project was completed in May
2009.

The Lahti plywood processing mill was closed in October 2009 and its production
was moved to other mills.

Market review

In Europe, plywood demand declined substantially from last year due to record
low construction activity and low demand for engineered end products in
transportation and other industrial end uses. Declined demand in Europe has
left much idle capacity.

Inventories were reduced in all parts of the supply chain in the first half of
the year. This inventory reduction came to an end in the third quarter. The
market prices of plywood declined from the previous year.

Basis of preparation

This unaudited 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 Consolidated Financial Statements for
2008. Income tax expense is recognised based on the best estimate of the
weighted average annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year.

The Group has adopted the following standard:

IAS 1 (Revised) Presentation of Financial Statements became effective 1 January
2009. The revised standard prohibits the presentation of items of income and
expenses (that is, 'non-owner changes in equity') in the statement of changes
in equity, requiring 'non-owner changes in equity' to be presented separately
from owner changes in equity. Entities can choose whether to present one
performance statement (the statement of comprehensive income) or two statements
(the income statement and statement of comprehensive income). Where entities
restate or reclassify comparative information, they will be required to present
a restated balance sheet as at the beginning comparative period in addition to
the current requirement to present balance sheets at the end of the current
period and comparative period. Following the adoption of the revised standard
the Group will present two separate statements (a separate income statement
followed by a statement of comprehensive income).


Calculation of key indicators


Return on equity, %:
(Profit before tax - income taxes)/ Total equity (average) x 100

Return on capital employed, %:
(Profit before tax + interest expenses and other financial expenses)/
(Total equity + interest-bearing liabilities (average)) x 100

Earnings per share:
Profit for the period attributable to equity holders of the parent company/
Adjusted average number of shares during the period excluding treasury shares
