Results
Q1 of 2010 compared with Q1 of 2009
Sales for the first quarter of 2010 were EUR 2,039 million, 10% higher than the
EUR 1,857 million in the first quarter of 2009. Sales increased due to higher
deliveries across all of UPM's business areas.
Operating profit was EUR 107 million, 5.2% of sales (loss of EUR 95 million,
-5.1% of sales). The operating profit excluding special items was EUR 116
million, 5.7% of sales (loss of EUR 78 million, -4.2% of sales). Operating
profit includes net charges of EUR 9 million (17 million) as special items,
which mainly consist of employee-related restructuring charges in the Paper
business area.
Profitability improved noticeably from the same period last year. The main
reasons for the better profitability were higher delivery volumes in UPM's
businesses and lower costs for wood and energy. The operations in Uruguay,
acquired in December 2009, contributed positively to the operating profit.
Due to the stevedores' strike in Finland from 4 March to 19 March, the
company's production volumes have been lower in Paper, Pulp, Timber and
Plywood. The estimated loss due to strike is approximately EUR 20 million with
an impact on first and second quarter results.
Wood costs increased from the latter part of 2009, but decreased by about EUR
40 million from the first quarter of last year. Energy costs were about EUR 30
million lower than last year. In addition, the comparison period included wood
and pulp inventory write-downs of EUR 53 million.
Changes in sales prices in euro terms reduced operating profit by about EUR 100
million. The average paper price in euros decreased by approximately 10% from
the same period last year. The average price for label materials in euros was
slightly lower than last year and plywood prices decreased somewhat. Sawn
timber sales prices increased by approximately 14%. The price for external
electricity sales was noticeably higher, improving operating profit.
The increase in the fair value of biological assets net of wood harvested was
EUR 19 million compared with EUR 11 million a year before.
The share of results of associated companies and joint ventures was EUR 3
million (53 million negative).
Profit before tax was EUR 82 million (loss of EUR 162 million) and excluding
special items EUR 91 million (loss of EUR 145 million). Interest and other
financing costs net were EUR 26 million (58 million). Exchange rate and fair
value gains and losses were EUR 1 million (loss of EUR 9 million).
Income taxes were EUR 12 million (4 million positive). The impact on taxes from
special items was EUR 3 million positive (3 million negative).
Profit for the first quarter was EUR 70 million (loss of EUR 158 million) and
earnings per share were EUR 0.13 (-0.30). Earnings per share excluding special
items were EUR 0.15 (-0.27). Operating cash flow per share was EUR 0.40 (0.53).
Financing
Cash flow from operating activities, before capital expenditure and financing,
was EUR 209 million (274 million). Net working capital increased by EUR 18
million during the period (decrease of EUR 216 million).
The gearing ratio as of 31 March 2010, was 54% (72%). Net interest-bearing
liabilities at the end of the period came to EUR 3,569 million (4,139 million).
On 31 March 2010, UPM's cash funds and unused committed credit facilities
totalled EUR 2.2 billion.
Personnel
In the first quarter of 2010, UPM had an average of 22,889 employees (24,199).
At the beginning of the year the number of employees was 23,213, and at the end
of the first quarter it was 22,840.
Capital expenditure
During the first three months of 2010, capital expenditure was EUR 30 million,
1.5% of sales (EUR 67 million, 3.6% of sales).
The largest ongoing project is now the rebuild of the debarking plant at the
Pietarsaari mill in Finland with total investment cost is estimated to be EUR
25 million.
Shares
In the first quarter of 2010, UPM shares worth EUR 2,118 million (1,503
million) in total were traded on the NASDAQ OMX Helsinki stock exchange. The
highest quotation was EUR 10.03 in March and the lowest EUR 7.37 in February.
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 22 March 2010, authorised the Board of
Directors to acquire no 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 Board was authorised to decide on the issuance of shares and/or transfer
the Company's own shares held by the Company and/or issue special rights
entitling holders to shares in the Company as follows: (i) The maximum number
of new shares that may be issued and the Company's own shares held by the
Company that may be transferred is, in total, 25,000,000 shares. This figure
also includes the number of shares that can be received on the basis of the
special rights. (ii) The new shares and special rights entitling holders to

issue shares, convertible bonds or share options.
The number of shares entered in the Trade Register on 31 March 2010 was
519,970,088. Through the issuance authorisation and share options, the number
of shares may increase to a maximum of 562,970,088.
At the end of the period, the company did not hold any of its own shares.

Litigation
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 58.28%
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 has been delayed. The latest anticipated
start-up time is after June 2012. TVO has requested that the plant supplier,
the AREVA-Siemens consortium, provide a re-analysis of the anticipated start-up
time.
TVO has informed 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
On 20 April 2010, the International Court of Justice published its decision on
the litigation action against the government of Uruguay related to the Fray
Bentos pulp mill in Uruguay. The decision reduces the political risk related to
the Fray Bentos pulp mill.
Risk factors
Expected decisions on the proposed EU Energy Package have increased
uncertainties on how the proposed policies and measures will impact the
availability and cost of wood fibre for wood processing industries in Europe.
At the same time, global competition for fibres has already created disruptions
in fibre availability resulting in volatile price developments.
Outlook for 2010
Gradual recovery in UPM's main markets is expected to continue and demand for
consumer goods is forecast to improve. Recovery of advertising expenditure in
print media is slow, and this will impede growth in demand for graphic papers.
Investment activity, including construction, has shown signs of recovery, and
demand for construction materials such as timber and plywood is expected to
pick up. Growth is expected to continue in Asia, especially in China.
Disruptions in supply of fibre and plywood from Chile continue to affect
markets during the second quarter.
Low capacity utilisation rates at some of the company's timber, plywood and
European paper mills will continue periodically. Necessary production
curtailments will require continuing the flexible way of working in these
operations.
For the rest of the year, the electricity generation volume will be about the
same as last year, assuming that a lower than average hydrological balance
continues in Finland. Based on current forward sale agreements and Nordpool
forward prices, the 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 significantly
higher than last year.
Paper demand in Europe is forecast to recover from 2009, and UPM's paper
deliveries for 2010 are expected to be higher than last year. Deliveries for
fine and speciality papers are expected to increase the most. The average price
in euro for all paper deliveries for the second quarter is expected to improve
slightly from the first quarter of this year. UPM's target is to increase
prices in all new sales agreements.
Demand for self-adhesive labelstock is estimated to improve from last year in
all the main markets. Raw material costs, especially in paper and oil-based raw
materials, have increased. This puts pressure on sales margins.
The operating profit (excluding special items) for the year 2010 is expected to
clearly improve from last year. Variable costs are expected to increase by
about 2% from last year.

Voima's two power plants.
Q1 of 2010 compared with Q1 of 2009
The operating profit excluding special items for Energy was EUR 81 million, EUR
30 million higher than last year (51 million). Sales increased by 28% to EUR
174 million (136 million), of which EUR 94 million was external sales (49
million). The electricity sales volume was 2.4 TWh in the quarter (2.5 TWh).
Profitability improved compared with the same period last year, due to the
higher average electricity sales price and temporarily higher external sales as
less electricity was consumed internally in the Finnish paper mills during the
stevedores' strike in March.
The average electricity sales price increased by 36% to EUR 61.3/MWh
(45.2/MWh). Hydropower volume was 29% lower in comparison with the previous
year but it was partly compensated with higher condensing power generation.
Market review
The average electricity spot price on the Nordic electricity exchange in the
first quarter was EUR 59.5/MWh, 56% higher than in the same period last year
(38.2/MWh) due to a cold and dry winter.
Oil and coal prices increased compared with the same period last year. CO2
emission allowance prices were higher.
The rest of the year electricity system forward price on the Nordic electricity
exchange was EUR 42.2/MWh on 31 March, 26% higher than on the same date last
year (33.4/MWh).
In the first quarter of the year, the Nordic water reservoirs were below their
long-term average at this time of the year.

2) In 2009, special items of EUR 29 million relate to the associated company
Metsä-Botnia's Kaskinen pulp mill closure.
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.
Q1 of 2010 compared with Q1 of 2009
The Fray Bentos pulp mill and Forestal Oriental eucalyptus plantation forestry
company in Uruguay were included in the Pulp business area as of December 2009.
The operating profit excluding special items for Pulp was EUR 84 million (loss
of EUR 93 million). Sales increased by 145% to EUR 341 million (139 million)
and deliveries by 88% to 700,000 tonnes (372,000).
Profitability improved substantially from the previous year. The main reasons
for the improvement were significantly higher pulp prices and higher sales
volumes than last year. Wood costs were lower.
Comparison period also included a wood inventory write-down of EUR 28 million
and a pulp inventory write-down of EUR 10 million.
Market review
In the first quarter of 2010, global chemical pulp prices increased
substantially due to the tight market balance. The earthquake in Chile has
reduced the global chemical market pulp supply temporarily, whilst strong
market demand, driven by China, continued.
The average softwood pulp (NBSK) market price in euro terms, at EUR 613/tonne,
was almost 35% higher than in the same period last year (EUR 455/tonne). At the
end of the first quarter, the NBSK market price was EUR 666/tonne. The average
hardwood pulp (BHKP) market price in euro terms increased by almost 33% from
last year, to EUR 543/tonne (EUR 409/tonne). At the end of the first quarter
the BHKP market price was EUR 591/tonne.

2) Special items of EUR 14 million including impairment charges of EUR 5
million, in the fourth quarter of 2009 relate to restructuring of Timber
operations in Finland. Special items for the second quarter of 2009 include
impairment charges of EUR 8 million related to wood procurement operations. In
the first quarter of 2009, special items of EUR 10 million relate to the sales
loss of Miramichi's forestry and sawmilling operations' assets.
Q1 of 2010 compared with Q1 of 2009
The operating profit excluding special items for Forest and timber was EUR 19
million (loss of EUR 8 million). Sales decreased by 12% to EUR 339 million (385
million). Sawn timber deliveries increased by 2% to 371,000 cubic metres
(363,000 cubic metres).
Profitability improved from the same period last year, mainly due to the
average sawn timber price being approximately 14% higher than last year. Wood
costs were lower.
The increase in the fair value of biological assets net of wood harvested was
EUR 19 million (11 million). The increase in the fair value of biological
assets (growing trees) was EUR 33 million (21 million). The cost of wood raw
material harvested from the Group's own forests was EUR 14 million
(10 million).
Market review
In the first quarter of 2010, Finnish wood market activity remained at a low
level, representing about half of the long term average purchasing volumes.
However, wood purchases in the Finnish wood market increased almost by 59% from
the very low level in the same period last year.
Wood market prices declined by an average of about 2% compared with the same
period last year but increased slightly from the fourth quarter of 2009.
Log market prices for pine and spruce increased from last year, mainly
due to weakened supply of wood. Log market prices for birch declined.
In the first quarter of 2010, demand for both redwood and whitewood sawn timber
in Europe improved slightly in comparison with last year even though
the construction activity remained still very low.

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 2010, special items include mainly employee-related restructuring
charges. 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.
Q1 of 2010 compared with Q1 of 2009
Operating loss excluding special items for Paper was EUR 61 million (profit of
EUR 37 million). Sales were EUR 1,401 million (1,367 million). Paper deliveries
increased by 13% to 2,301,000 tonnes (2,028,000). Paper deliveries for
publication papers (magazine papers and newsprint) increased by 5%, and for
fine and speciality papers by 29%, from last year. Delivery growth was
highest in Asia and in North America.
The Paper business area incurred an operating loss, as the average paper price
decreased significantly from the same period last year and the cost of fibre
increased. Higher paper deliveries had a positive impact on operating profit,
even though delivery volumes were negatively affected by the stevedores' strike
in Finland. The average price for all paper deliveries when translated into
euros was 10% lower than last year. Compared with the fourth quarter of 2009,
prices decreased for all publication paper grades, but increased for fine
papers and speciality papers.
Market review
Demand for publication papers in Europe was 3% higher, and for fine papers 4%
higher, than a year ago. In North America, the demand for magazine papers
increased by 10% from last year. In Asia, demand for fine papers grew.
In Europe, magazine paper prices decreased in the first quarter by about 4%
from the previous quarter, or about 10% from the first quarter of 2009.
Newsprint prices decreased by about 14% both compared with the previous quarter
and with the same period last year. Fine paper prices were about the same as in
the last quarter of 2009, but were about 5% lower than in the same period last
year.
In North America, the average US dollar price for magazine papers was 2% lower
than in the previous quarter, or 17% lower than a year ago. In Asia, market
prices for fine papers increased both from last year and from the previous
quarter.

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 2010, special items relate to impairment reversals. 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.
Q1 of 2010 compared with Q1 of 2009
Operating profit excluding special items for Label was EUR 23 million (loss of
EUR 3 million). Sales increased by 17% to EUR 260 million (223 million).
Profitability improved mainly due to lower raw material costs and higher sales
volumes. Delivery volumes of self-adhesive label materials increased in all
regions. Volume increase was highest in growth markets of Asia and Eastern
Europe.
The average price for label materials in local currencies decreased marginally
from the same period last year. Prices in local currencies increased during the
first quarter of 2010 and on average were higher than in the fourth quarter of
2009.
Market review
Demand for self-adhesive label materials grew noticeably in the first quarter
from the depressed levels seen in the same period last year. Demand growth was
strongest in Asia Pacific, Eastern Europe and Latin America, where demand is
estimated to have exceeded pre-recession levels. In mature markets in Western
Europe and North America demand recovered, but not yet to pre-recession levels.

the share of results of associated companies and joint ventures, and special
items.
2) Special items in the fourth quarter of 2009 include impairment charges of
EUR 6 million and other restructuring charges of EUR 24 million.
Q1 of 2010 compared with Q1 of 2009
Operating loss excluding special items for Plywood was EUR 7 million (loss of
EUR 28 million). Sales were EUR 76 million (75 million). Plywood deliveries
increased by 5% to 140,000 m3.
Operating loss for Plywood decreased from last year due to lower raw material
costs. Plywood sales prices were lower than last year. Delivery volumes were
negatively affected by the stevedores' strike in Finland. The comparison period
also included a wood inventory write-down of EUR 15 million.
Market review
In Europe, plywood demand increased slightly from the first quarter of 2009.
Construction activity continued at a very low level and was further limited by
the cold winter in Europe. Demand for engineered end products in transportation
and other industrial end-uses showed only weak signs of improvement. The market
prices of plywood were lower than in the same quarter last year, but increased
slightly from the fourth quarter of 2009.

Basis of preparation
This unaudited interim 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
2009. 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:
Amendment to IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements requires the
effects of all transactions with non-controlling interests to be recorded in
equity if there is no change in control and these transactions will no longer
result in goodwill or gains and losses. The standard also specifies the
accounting when control is lost. Any remaining interest in the entity is
re-measured to fair value, and a gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss.
The adoption of the amended standard has changed the name of previous minority
interests to non-controlling interests, and in addition the adoption has
amended the presentation of consolidated statement of changes in equity.
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
