Operational EBIT comprises the operating profit excluding NRI and fair
valuations of the segments and Stora Enso's share of the operating profit
excluding NRI and fair valuations of its equity accounted investments (EAI).
Fair valuations include equity incentive schemes, synthetic options net of
realised and open hedges, CO2 emission rights and valuations of biological
assets related to forest assets in EAI.
NRI = Non-recurring items. These are exceptional transactions that are not
related to normal business operations. The most common non-recurring items are
capital gains, additional write-downs or reversals of write-downs, provisions
for planned restructuring and penalties. Non-recurring items are normally
specified individually if they exceed one cent per share.

*Fair valuations and non-operational items include equity incentive schemes,
synthetic options net of realised and open hedges, CO2 emission rights,
valuations of biological assets related to forest assets in equity accounted
investments (EAI) and Group's share of tax and net financial items of EAI.
Q2/2012 Results (compared with Q2/2011)
Sales at EUR 2 720 million were EUR 97 million lower than a year ago.
Operational EBIT at EUR 141 million was EUR 98 million lower than a year ago.
This represents an operational EBIT margin of 5.2% (8.5%).
Clearly lower sales prices in local currencies, mainly in paper and pulp
grades, decreased operational EBIT by EUR 83 million and slightly lower
deliveries and production decreased operational EBIT by EUR 14 million. Paper
and board production was curtailed by 7% (6%) and sawnwood production by 6%
(3%) to manage inventories.
Lower pulp and recycled paper costs were partly offset by slightly higher
sawlog and chemical prices. The overall net impact of variable costs in local
currencies was a positive EUR 14 million. Fixed costs were unchanged, with
costs in Europe lower due to cost saving measures including permanent closure
of Kopparfors Sawmill and the Fine Paper restructuring programme launched in
the first half of 2011. Fixed costs were higher mainly in Asia due to the Inpac
acquisition and the board and pulp mill project in China.
The average number of employees at 29 200 was 2 200 higher than a year ago. The
number of employees increased by 2 800 mainly in Asia due to the Inpac
acquisition and decreased by 600 in Europe.
Exchange rates had a negative net impact on operational EBIT totalling EUR 16
million, after hedges. The second quarter 2011 results included the material
favourable impact of Swedish krona hedges.
Fair valuations and non-operational items were EUR -33 (EUR -27) million. The
Group recorded as non-recurring items (NRI) a positive EUR 45 million at
operating profit level comprising EUR 41 million positive impact due to a
tax-free dividend from Pohjolan Voima (PVO), EUR 21 million positive impact due
to a release of valuation allowance on value added tax for Arapoti Mill in
Brazil, EUR 9 million negative impact due to an adjustment related to an equity
accounted investment and EUR 8 million negative impact on operating profit due
to restructuring plans in the Printing and Reading Business Area. Additionally
the Group recorded as a non-recurring item in financial items EUR 10 million
positive impact due to reversal of a provision relating to the NewPage Stevens
Point Mill.
Net financial items were EUR -67 (EUR -35) million. Net interest expenses
increased from EUR 28 million to EUR 42 million. Net foreign exchange loss
amounted to EUR 18 (EUR 1) million. The net loss from other financial items
totalled EUR 7 (EUR 6) million, including a NRI with EUR 10 million positive
impact due to the NewPage lease guarantee provision reversal. The remaining
loss of EUR 17 million was mainly related to the fair valuations of interest
rate derivatives and financial fees.
Group capital employed was EUR 8 647 million on 30 June 2012, a net decrease of
EUR 190 million on a year earlier. Group capital employed decreased primarily
due to a EUR 480 million reduction in the valuation of PVO mainly resulting
from lower anticipated future electricity prices, EUR 60 million from capital
expenditure being lower than depreciation and a EUR 60 million decrease in
working capital. Increases were primarily due to EUR 70 million from the Inpac
acquisition and a EUR 230 million increase in the value of equity accounted
investments resulting mainly from an equity injection into the Montes del Plata
pulp mill project and profits from the equity accounted investments. In
addition, changes in the impact of foreign exchange rates increased capital
employed by EUR 100 million, mainly due to strengthening of the Swedish krona,
Chinese Renminbi and US dollar, partly offset by weakening of the Brazilian
Real.
The operational return on capital employed was 6.5% (10.9%).
January-June 2012 Results (compared with January-June 2011)
Sales decreased by EUR 150 million year-on-year. Operational EBIT decreased by
EUR 209 million due to lower prices in local currencies and lower delivery
volumes. Exchange rates had a negative net impact on operational EBIT, after
hedges. Fixed and variable costs remained unchanged.
Q2/2012 Results (compared with Q1/2012)
Sales were slightly higher than in the previous quarter at EUR 2 720 million.
Operational EBIT was EUR 6 million lower than in the previous quarter at EUR
141 million. Delivery volumes and pulp sales prices in local currencies were
slightly higher and paper sales prices in local currencies slightly lower than
in the previous quarter. Exchange rates had a positive net impact on
operational EBIT, after hedges. Fixed costs increased due to higher personnel
costs and scheduled maintenance at several European mills.

Financing Q2/2012 (compared with Q1/2012)
Cash flow from operations was EUR 246 (EUR 224) million. Cash flow after
investing activities was EUR 75 (EUR 111) million. Interest-bearing net
liabilities of the Group increased by EUR 283 million to EUR 2 995 million
mainly due to payment of the 2012 dividend during the second quarter.
Total unutilised committed credit facilities were unchanged at EUR 700 million,
and cash and cash equivalents net of overdrafts remained strong at EUR 1 240
million, which is EUR 11 million less than for the previous quarter. In
addition, Stora Enso has access to various long-term sources of funding up to
EUR 600 million.
In June 2012 Stora Enso issued two five-year bonds totalling SEK 1 700 million
(EUR 193 million) under its EMTN (Euro Medium Term Note) programme. There are
no financial or change of control covenants in the new debt.
The debt/equity ratio at 30 June 2012 was 0.54 (0.46). The increase is
primarily due to the EUR 237 million dividend payment made during the second
quarter of 2012 and EUR 138 million reduction in the value of PVO. The currency
effect on owners' equity net of the hedging of equity translation risks was
negative EUR 19 million.

Capital Expenditure for January-June 2012
Additions to fixed and biological assets in the first half of 2012 totalled EUR
216 million, which is 76% of depreciation in the same period.
The equity injection into Montes del Plata, a joint venture in Uruguay, was EUR
62 million in the first half of 2012. The Montes del Plata Pulp Mill is
currently 60% completed and now expected to start up approximately mid-year
2013, instead of by the end of the first quarter of 2013 as originally
scheduled.
Investments in fixed assets and biological assets had a cash outflow impact of
EUR 222 million in the first half of 2012.
The full year 2012 capital expenditure forecast for the Group remains unchanged
at approximately EUR 700-750 million. Annual depreciation in 2012 will be
approximately EUR 580 million. In addition, the equity injection into Montes
del Plata, a joint venture in Uruguay, will be approximately EUR 150 million in
2012.
The main projects ongoing during the first half of 2012 were Montes del Plata,
the Ostrołęka containerboard machine and the Skoghall woodyard investment.
Near-term Outlook
In the third quarter of 2012 Group sales are expected to be at roughly similar
level and operational EBIT at similar level or somewhat higher than in the
second quarter of 2012 due to improvement in variable and fixed costs.

-- Lower sales prices in local currencies and slightly
lower paper deliveries than a year ago were not fully offset by lower
variable costs. Exchange rates had a negative net impact on sales and costs
after hedges.

** Historical pulp deliveries in 2010 and 2011 are published at
www.storaenso.com/investors.
-- Market pulp prices significantly lower than a year ago were partly offset
by beneficial exchange rates, which also improved the results of equity
accounted investments.
-- Pulp production volumes were lower due to annual maintenance shutdowns at
Enocell Mill in Finland and Skutskär Mill in Sweden.
-- Dissolving pulp production continued successfully at Enocell Mill.
-- The Montes del Plata pulp mill project is progressing and currently 60% of
the construction work has been completed. The mill is expected to start up
approximately mid-year 2013.

planned throughout the Business Area. Co-determination negotiations will
start in the countries affected.
-- The Building Solutions business has strengthened its position as a pioneer
in industrialised wood-based construction by acquiring a module production
unit at Hartola in Finland in July 2012.

-- On average lower sales prices in local currencies and lower board
deliveries were not fully offset by higher corrugated packaging volumes
supported by the Inpac acquisition in the third quarter of 2011. Exchange
rates had a negative net impact on sales and costs after hedges.
-- Fixed costs were higher mainly in Asia due to the Inpac acquisition and the
board and pulp mill project in China.
-- Integrated plantation-based board (450 000 tonnes per year) and pulp (total
capacity 900 000 tonnes per year) mills at Beihai city in Guangxi, southern
China are progressing according to plan. Construction work will start after
the necessary permits and approvals are obtained. Projects at
Ostrołęka and Skoghall are proceeding according to plan.
-- Previously announced plans at Skoghall, Fors, Páty and Barcelona to
mitigate cost increases and adjust capacity to lower demand are proceeding
according to plan and are expected to reduce employment by approximately
200 persons and annual costs by EUR 12 million gradually from late 2012
onwards.

Short-term Risks and Uncertainties
The main short-term risks and uncertainties relate to the economic situation in
Europe and the ability of certain countries to refinance excessive debts and
further increasing imbalance in the European paper market.
Energy sensitivity analysis: the direct effect of a 10% increase in
electricity, heat, oil and other fossil fuel market prices would have a
negative impact of approximately EUR 28 million on operational EBIT for the
next twelve months, after the effect of hedges.
Wood sensitivity analysis: the direct effect of a 10% increase in wood prices
would have a negative impact of approximately EUR 204 million on operational
EBIT for the next twelve months.
Chemicals and fillers sensitivity: the direct effect of a 10% increase in
chemical and filler prices would have a negative impact of approximately EUR 51
million on operational EBIT for the next twelve months.
A decrease of energy, wood or chemical and filler prices would have the
opposite impact.
Foreign exchange rates sensitivity analysis for the next twelve months: the
direct effect on operational EBIT of a 10% strengthening in the value of the US
dollar, Swedish krona and British pound against the euro would be about
positive EUR 120 million, negative EUR 92 million and positive EUR 60 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.
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 9 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. 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.
Class Action Lawsuits in USA
In the context of magazine paper sales in the USA in 2002 and 2003, Stora Enso
was sued in a number of class action (and other civil) lawsuits filed in the
USA by various magazine paper purchasers that claimed damages for alleged
antitrust violations. On 14 December 2010 a US federal court granted a motion
for summary judgement that Stora Enso had filed seeking dismissal of the direct
purchaser class action claims. The ruling, which the plaintiffs have appealed,
means that the court has ruled in favour of Stora Enso and found the direct
purchaser class action claims to be without legal foundation. Further, most of
the indirect purchaser actions have been dismissed by a consent judgement,
subject, however, to being reinstated if the plaintiffs' appeal in the direct
cases is successful. The ruling, if it stands on appeal, will also provide a
strong legal basis for final dismissal of all remaining civil cases. No
provisions have been made in Stora Enso's accounts for these lawsuits.
Legal Proceedings in Finland
On 3 December 2009 the Finnish Market Court fined Stora Enso for competition
law infringements in the market for roundwood in Finland from 1997 to 2004.
Stora Enso did not appeal against the ruling.
On 31 March 2011 Metsähallitus of Finland initiated legal proceedings against
Stora Enso, UPM and Metsäliitto claiming compensation for damages allegedly
suffered due to the competition law infringements. The total claim against all
the defendants amounts to approximately EUR 159 million and the secondary claim
against Stora Enso to approximately EUR 87 million.
In addition, Finnish municipalities and private forest owners have initiated
similar legal proceedings. The total amount claimed from all the defendants
amounts to approximately EUR 72 million and the secondary claims and claims
solely against Stora Enso to approximately EUR 26 million.
Stora Enso denies that Metsähallitus and other plaintiffs have suffered any
damages whatsoever and will forcefully defend itself. No provisions have been
made in Stora Enso's accounts for these lawsuits.
Share Capital
During the quarter no A shares were converted into R shares.
On 30 June 2012 Stora Enso had 177 147 772 A shares and 612 390 727 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.
Changes in shareholdings
Norges Bank (The Central Bank of Norway) lent out Stora Enso shares and as a
result the number of shares in Stora Enso Oyj held by Norges Bank was
temporarily for two periods in April and May 2012 less than 5% of the paid-up
share capital and the number of shares in Stora Enso Oyj as Norges Bank
conducted two successive similar lending operations, the second of which ended
with the return of the shares lent and the acquisition of additional shares.
Decisions of the Annual General Meeting on 24 April 2012
The AGM approved a proposal by the Board of Directors that the Company
distribute a dividend of EUR 0.30 per share for the year 2011.

Basis of Preparation
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 2011.
There were no new EU-endorsed standards or interpretations effective from 1
January 2012. IASB has published one amendment effective from 1 January 2012.
It does not affect the Group's financial statements.
New Business Area Structure
In the first quarter of 2012 Stora Enso reorganised its Business Area and
Reporting Segment structure based on the different markets and customers the
Business Areas serve. The new reporting segments are Printing and Reading,
Biomaterials, Building and Living, Renewable Packaging and Other.
The Printing and Reading Business Area comprises the former Newsprint and Book
Paper, Magazine Paper and Fine Paper reporting segments. The Biomaterials
Business Area mainly comprises tree plantations, the Group's joint-venture
Veracel and Montes del Plata pulp mills and Nordic stand-alone pulp mills. The
Wood Products Business Area was renamed the Building and Living Business Area.
The Renewable Packaging Business Area comprises the former Consumer Board and
Industrial Packaging reporting segments, and includes the plantations in
Guangxi in China. The segment Other includes the Nordic forest equity accounted
investments, Stora Enso's shareholding in Pohjolan Voima, the operations
supplying wood to the Nordic mills and Group administration. The comparative
data have been reclassified accordingly.
Equity Accounted Investment Reclassification
Stora Enso changed the presentation of its equity accounted investments and all
comparative data with effect from the fourth quarter of 2011. Stora Enso's
share of the net profit of its equity accounted investments is presented on one
line in Stora Enso's operating profit. The share of taxes of equity accounted
investments has been eliminated from tax expense. Comparative data have been
reclassified accordingly.
Operational EBIT as New Key Operative Measure
The Group adopted operational EBIT as a key operative non-IFRS measure with
effect from the fourth quarter of 2011 instead of operating profit excluding
NRI and fair valuations, which had previously been used. Operational EBIT
comprises the operating profit excluding NRI and fair valuations of the
segments and Stora Enso's share of the operating profit excluding NRI and fair
valuations of its equity accounted investments. Comparative data have been
reclassified accordingly.
Inpac Acquisition
Stora Enso acquired 51% of Inpac International on 28 July 2011. Inpac is a
Chinese packaging company with production operations in China and India, and
service operations in Korea. The company specialises in manufacturing consumer
packaging, especially for global manufacturers of consumer electronics and
other consumer goods.
The preliminary consideration amounted to EUR 45 million. The initial
acquisition accounting of the integration of the company has been only
provisionally determined at the end of the second quarter of 2012. The
necessary fair valuations and other calculations have not been finalised and
they are based on management's best estimate. For more information, see Annual
Report 2011, Note 4, Acquisitions and Disposals.
