Short-Term Profitability Outlook

7

‒ Metsä Board’s operating result, excluding non-recurring

items, is in the third quarter of 2013 expected to be

weaker than in the second quarter of 2013 primarily due

to the maintenance shutdowns at Husum and Kemi mills

Metsä Board

Metsä Board Aims to Secure Healthy Price Levels for Its Paperboards

‒ White top kraftliner prices were increased in late 2012 and in the spring 2013

‒ Previous FBB price increase was implemented in 2011. Since then production

costs have increased

‒ Market situation in spring 2013 did not support a FBB price increase

‒ FBB order inflows have strengthened during recent weeks

‒ Further FBB lightweightning has improved yield advantages

‒ Final decision on the possible folding boxboard price increase during

the coming months has not yet been taken

8

Metsä Board

‒ First kraftliners sold in April 2013, current monthly volume about 3 000 tonnes

‒ Monthly volumes to be increased to about 5 000 tonnes by the end of the year

‒ Large supply agreements signed with leading packaging companies

‒ Approximately 20 000 annual tonnes of uncoated kraftliner volumes will be transferred from Kemi mill in 2013 and additional 10 000 tonnes in 2014‒ Kemi mill focuses further on better value added coated grades

‒ Target is to produce min. 80 000 tonnes of kraftliner at Husum in 2014 that would improve the mill’s profitability by about 10 m€/a

‒ The 15 m€ cost savings programme is proceeding well

Production of Husum’s Kraftliners Has Developed According to Targets
