The first quarter of 2007 was characterised by warm weather which lowered both
power and heat demand. An abundance of water and snow combined with low carbon
dioxide emission allowance prices led to clearly lower Nordic spot prices.
Despite the challenging power market conditions, Fortum's hedging positions
enabled it to improve its performance compared to last year and to reach its
highest ever quarterly result. The company's financial position remained strong.
Net cash from operating activities improved to EUR 497 (303) million.
Fortum Power Generation segment's achieved Nordic power price was EUR 39.2
(37.1), up by 6% from last year and clearly higher than the average spot price
of electricity in Nord Pool, the Nordic power exchange. The average spot price
of electricity in Nord Pool was EUR 26.7 (45.4) per megawatt-hour (MWh),
approximately 41% lower than same time last year.
Hafslund ASA, owned 34.09% by Fortum, sold 35 million shares in Renewable Energy
Corporation (REC) at NOK 138 per share. Fortum booked a gain of approximately
EUR 180 million, corresponding to EUR 0.20 per share, in its first-quarter
result.
Hafslund also announced it will propose a special dividend of NOK 15 per share
to be distributed subject to an AGM decision in May. Fortum's share of the
proposed special dividend would be approximately EUR 120 million.
In March, Fortum decided to commence an environmental impact assessment (EIA)
process for a possible new nuclear power plant unit at Loviisa, Finland.

Profit before taxes was EUR 661 (492) million.
The Group's net financial expenses amounted to EUR 31 (15) million. The increase
is mainly attributable to lower fair value gains on financial instruments of
EUR 2 (15) million. The net interest expenses were EUR 32 (28) million, due to
higher average debt during the first quarter 2007 compared to the corresponding
quarter last year.
The share of profit of associates and joint ventures was EUR 202 (35) million.
The biggest contributor was Hafslund ASA in Norway. In the first quarter,
Hafslund announced that it completed the sale of 35 million shares in Renewable
Energy Corporation (REC) at NOK 138 per share. After this transaction, Hafslund
still owns 70.4 million shares in REC. As a consequence, Fortum booked a gain of
approximately EUR 180 million, corresponding to EUR 0.20 per share, in its
first-quarter result.
Hafslund ASA is showing the fair value change in the Renewable Energy
Corporation ASA (REC) shareholding through the income statement, while Fortum is
showing the fair value change in equity. The cumulative fair value change booked
in Fortum's equity and based on the remaining number of shares reported by
Hafslund was approximately EUR 360 million at the end of March 2007.
Taxes for the first quarter totalled EUR 109 (120) million. The tax rate
according to the income statement was low at 16.5% (24.4%), mainly due to the
non-taxable gain of EUR 180 million from Hafslund's sale of REC shares.
Minority interests increased to EUR 30 (26) million. The minority interests are
mainly attributable to Fortum Värme Holding, in which the City of Stockholm has
a 50% economic interest.
The profit for the quarter was EUR 552 (372) million. Fortum's earnings per
share were EUR 0.59 (0.39). Return on capital employed was 15.3% for the last
twelve months (13.4% at year-end 2006), and return on shareholders' equity was
18.4% for the last twelve months (14.4% at year-end 2006).
The Group's net cash from operating activities increased to EUR 497 (303)
million. The increase was mainly due to the change in working capital.
Market conditions
According to preliminary statistics, the Nordic countries consumed 115 (122)
terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity in the first quarter of 2007, 6% less than
the year before. The decrease was due to warm weather.
The year 2007 started with the Nordic water reservoirs being at the same level
as the long-term average. At the end of March, the Nordic water reservoirs were
2 TWh above the long-term average and 4 TWh above the corresponding level in
2006.
During the first quarter, the average spot price for power in Nord Pool was EUR
26.7 (45.4) per MWh or 41% lower than in the corresponding period in 2006. This
was due to lower CO2 prices and wet and warm weather conditions. After the steep
decline in the end of 2006, the quotations on the Nordic forward market
stabilised.
In Germany, the average spot price for the first quarter was somewhat higher
than in the Nordic area and resulted in a net export from the Nordic area to
Germany.
During the first quarter, the CO2 price for 2007 declined from EUR 4-6 to EUR
1-1.4 per tonne CO2, the average market price for CO2 emissions being EUR 2.1
(26.2) per tonne CO2, or 92% lower than during the corresponding period in 2006.
Total power and heat generation figures
Fortum's total power generation during the first quarter 2007 was 15.2 (15.3)
TWh, of which 14.9 (15.0) TWh was in the Nordic countries. This corresponds to
13% (12%) of the total Nordic electricity consumption.
Fortum's total power and heat generation figures are presented below. In

In the first quarter 2007, the segment's power generation in the Nordic
countries was 13.1 (13.3) TWh, of which about 6.4 (5.8) TWh or 49% (43%) was
hydropower-based, 6.5 (7.0) TWh or 50% (53%) nuclear power-based, and 0.2 (0.5)
TWh or 1% (4%) thermal power-based. The increase in hydro power generation was
due to a strengthened hydrological situation. The decrease in nuclear generation
was caused by unplanned shut-downs in the Swedish nuclear power plants. Thermal
power generation decreased due to the low spot price.

*) For the Power Generation segment in the Nordic area, excluding pass-through
sales.
During the first quarter, the average price of electricity in Nord Pool was EUR
26.7 (45.4) per megawatt-hour, or 41% lower than during the corresponding period
in 2006. The Power Generation segment's achieved Nordic power price EUR 39.2
(37.1) per megawatt-hour was 6% higher.
The comparable operating profit of the Power Generation segment was higher than
last year. Despite the lower spot price, the segment's achieved Nordic power
price was higher, thanks to improved hedging prices. The positive impact from
higher hydro power generation was offset by lower nuclear and thermal power
generation volumes.
The lost volume due to unplanned shut-downs in Swedish nuclear power plants was
approximately 0.5 TWh in the first quarter. By the end of the first quarter, all
units in the Swedish Oskarshamn and Forsmark nuclear power plants had returned
to normal operation.
In late March, Fortum decided to commence an environmental impact assessment
(EIA) process at its Loviisa nuclear power plant for a new nuclear power unit
possibly to be built adjacent to the existing two units. With the EIA process,
Fortum raises its preparedness for a new nuclear power unit in Loviisa. However,
the company has not made any decisions on its intentions beyond the EIA.
In Sweden, Fortum Service was involved in storm-related maintenance work because
of the storm 'Per' and provided service not only to Fortum but to other
distribution companies as well.
Heat
The business area comprises heat generation and sales in the Nordic countries
and other parts of the Baltic Rim. Fortum is a leading heat producer in the
Nordic region. The segment also generates power in combined heat and power
plants (CHP) and sells it to end-customers, mainly through long-term contracts
as well as to Nord Pool. The segment includes the business units Värme,
operating in Sweden, and Heat, operating in other markets.

The segment's heat sales during the first quarter amounted to 9.5 (10.3) TWh.
Warm weather was the reason behind the decrease in heat sales. Due to the
seasonality of district heating demand, the first and last quarters of the year
are most important to the segment's results.
Power generation at combined heat and power plants (CHP) was 1.7 (1.7) TWh
during the first quarter.
The comparable operating profit of the Heat segment increased and was EUR 137
(126) million. This was mainly due to the contribution from the acquisition of
Fortum Espoo.

In January, Fortum announced an investment in a new CHP plant in Estonia, in the
city of Tartu. The size of the investment is around EUR 60 million. Fortum owns
60% of the company.
The ownership of Vattenfall's heat operations in Pärnu, Estonia, and Riga,
Latvia, were acquired by Fortum during January and February, respectively.
Fortum and Vattenfall signed an agreement on the heat operations in late
December 2006.
The planning of the new CHP plant in Czestochowa, Poland, has been started.
Distribution
Fortum owns and operates distribution and regional networks and distributes
electricity to a total of 1.6 million customers in Sweden, Finland, Norway and
Estonia.

The volumes of distribution and regional network transmissions totalled 8.0
(7.8) TWh and 5.2 (5.4) TWh respectively. Electricity transmissions via the
regional distribution network totalled 4.3 (4.5) TWh in Sweden and 0.9 (0.9) TWh
in Finland.
The Distribution segment's comparable operating profit of EUR 78 million in the
first quarter was EUR 3 million lower than last year. The main reason for the
decrease is the EUR 11 million cost caused by the storm "Per" in January. Fortum
Espoo's contribution to the segment's first-quarter results was positive.
"Per", the worst storm since "Gudrun" in 2005, hit the southern parts of Sweden
and Norway on 14 January. Around 100,000 Fortum customers were out of
electricity during the storm, and more than 27,000 customers in Sweden
experienced outages for more than 12 hours, thus entitling them to compensation.

Markets' electricity sales totalled 11.9 (12.7) TWh in the first quarter. The
sales in the first quarter were lower than in the corresponding period last
year, mainly due to warm weather leading to decreased electricity consumption
for heating purposes. To some extent, this sales decrease was offset by the
increased number of customers from Fortum Espoo. Tight competition in Sweden
resulted in a slight dip in the total number of Markets' customers in the first
quarter. The customer switching rate in the Nordic countries increased during
the first quarter of 2007.
The Markets segment's first-quarter comparable operating profit was negative and
clearly lower compared to last year. Markets suffered from high procurement
prices, caused by hedging contracts from 2006. At the same time, decreasing
wholesale prices and intense competition lead to lower retail prices.
The development and implementation of a new customer and billing system in
Sweden continued to generate additional costs and quality deviations in customer
service for Markets.
Capital expenditures, investments and divestments of shares
Capital expenditures and investments in shares in the first quarter 2007
totalled EUR 115 (114) million. Investments excluding acquisitions were EUR 100
(71) million.
Financing
During the first quarter, Fortum's net debt decreased by EUR 413 million. At the
end of the quarter, the interest-bearing net debt stood at EUR 3,932 million
(EUR 4,345 million at year-end 2006). Net debt to EBITDA for the last twelve
months was 2.1 (2.3 at year-end 2006). A decrease in net debt is primarily
linked to good cash flow from operations.
The Group's net financial expenses were EUR 31 (15) million. The increase is
mainly attributable to lower fair value gains on financial instruments of EUR 2
(15) million. The net interest expenses were EUR 32 (28) million due to higher
average debt during the first quarter 2007 compared to the corresponding quarter
last year.
Group liquidity at the end of the quarter was high due to the dividend payment
in the beginning of April. At the end of the first quarter, cash and marketable
securities totalled EUR 1,067 million. The Group also had access to
approximately EUR 1.3 billion of undrawn committed credit facilities.
Fortum's long-term credit rating from Moody's and Standard and Poor's was A2
(stable) and A- (stable), respectively.
Shares and share capital
During the first quarter 2007, a total of 281.0 (238.0) million Fortum shares,
amounting to EUR 5,957 million, were traded. Fortum's market capitalisation,
calculated using the closing quotation on the last trading day of the quarter,
was EUR 19,444 million. The highest quotation of Fortum Corporation's shares on
the Helsinki Stock Exchange in the first quarter was EUR 23.15, the lowest EUR
20.01, and the average quotation EUR 21.19. The closing quotation on the last
trading day of the quarter was EUR 21.83.
At the end of the first quarter 2007, Fortum Corporation did not own its own
shares.
A total of 3,291,503 shares subscribed for based on the share option schemes
were entered into the trade register in the first quarter of 2007. After these
subscriptions, the total number of Fortum's registered shares is 890,685,149.
At quarter end, the Finnish State's holding in Fortum was 50.6% (51.1%). The
proportion of nominee registrations and direct foreign shareholders increased to
34.7% (34.0%).
Currently, the Board of Directors has no unused authorisations from the Annual
General Meeting of Shareholders to issue convertible loans or bonds with
warrants or to issue new shares. Currently, the Board of Directors has
authorisation from the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on 28 March 2007
to buy Fortum Corporation's own shares. The authorisation, amounting to EUR 300
million or 20 million shares, is valid until the next Annual General Meeting.
The shares repurchased by Fortum shall be cancelled through a separate decision
made by the Board of Directors of Fortum.
Group personnel
In the first quarter, Fortum Group employed an average of 8,165 (8,886) people.
The number of employees at the end of the period was 8,190 (8,900).
Events after the period under review
On 10 April, the regulator in Sweden, Energimarknadsinspektionen (EMI),
published the decisions on distribution prices for 2003 concerning Fortum's
network areas in Stockholm and the West Coast. The decisions imply that Fortum
had a surplus income of EUR 27 million in 2003. Fortum, in collaboration with
the industry, opposes the way the authority has conducted the supervision i.e.
by applying the "Nätnyttomodellen" model. The main objections are that the model
is theoretical and not based on the real network, and that the cost parameters
are too low. If the results of the model are used, it will jeopardise the
security of supply to customers. The decisions will be appealed.
In April, Fortum announced that it is planning to invest in a new biofuel-based
CHP plant in the city of Järvenpää in Finland. The value of the investment is
about EUR 60 million. The production capacity of the plant would be around 55 MW
of heat and 25 MW of electricity. Fortum has started to prepare an application
for an environmental permit for the plant.
In April, Fortum announced that it is planning a wind power investment in
Sweden. Fortum, together with the land and forest cooperative Orsa
Besparingsskog, is planning to build a wind park in the Orsa Finnmark area in
the Dalarna province of Sweden. The plan consists of up to eight 2-3 megawatt
wind power plants. The investment's estimated value is EUR 22-33 million,
depending on its final size. Fortum and Orsa Besparingsskog both have a 50 per
cent interest in the project.
Annual General Meeting
Fortum Corporation's Annual General Meeting, which was held in Helsinki on 28
March 2007, adopted the financial statements of the parent company and the Group
for 2006, discharged Fortum's Supervisory Board, Board of Directors and the
President and CEO from liability for 2006, and decided to pay a dividend of EUR
1.26 per share for 2006. Of this total dividend, EUR 0.73 per share was in
accordance with the Group's dividend policy and EUR 0.53 per share was
additional dividend proposed in order to steer Fortum's capital structure
towards the agreed target level. The dividend payment date was 11 April 2007.
The Board of Directors and auditors as well as the Supervisory Board, excluding
Mr Kimmo Kalela, were re-elected.
The Annual General Meeting authorised the Board of Directors to repurchase the
company's own shares with funds available for distribution of profit. The
authorisation is valid until the next Annual General Meeting. The shares will be
acquired in order to direct the capital structure of the company towards the
agreed target level. The maximum amount of shares to be repurchased is 20
million. In addition, the amount of consideration used for the acquisitions may
not exceed EUR 300 million. Shares repurchased by the company shall be cancelled
through a separate decision made by the Board of Directors.
Outlook
The key market driver influencing Fortum's business performance is the Nordic
wholesale price of electricity. Key drivers behind the wholesale price
development are the Nordic hydrological situation, CO2 emissions allowance
prices and fuel prices. The Swedish krona exchange rate also affects Fortum's
reported result, as results generated by Fortum in Sweden are translated into
euros.
Fortum's financial results are exposed to a number of strategic, financial and
operational risks. For further details of Fortum's risks and risk management,
see Fortum's Operating and Financial Review and Financial Statements 2006.
According to general market information, electricity consumption in the Nordic
countries is predicted to increase by about 1% a year over the next few years.
In mid-April, the Nordic water reservoirs were about 3 TWh above the long-term
average and 6 TWh above the corresponding level of 2006. The combined snow and
water reservoir level is generally estimated to be clearly higher than the
average. In mid-April, the market price for emissions allowances for 2007 was
between EUR 0.6-0.8 per tonne of CO2 and for 2008 between EUR 17-18 per tonne of
CO2. At the same time, the electricity forward price for the rest of 2007 was
around EUR 28-29 per MWh and around EUR 42-43 per MWh for 2008.
The first and last quarters of the year are usually the strongest quarters for
the power and heat businesses.
Fortum Power Generation's achieved Nordic power price typically depends on e.g.
the hedge ratio, hedge price, spot price, utilisation and optimisation of
Fortum's flexible production portfolio even on an hourly basis, and currency
fluctuations. If Fortum would not hedge any of its production volumes, a 1
EUR/MWh change in the spot price would result in approximately a EUR 50 million
change in Fortum's annual operating profit.
At the beginning of April, Fortum had hedged approximately 70% of the Power
Generation segment's estimated Nordic electricity sales volume for the rest of
2007 at approximately EUR 40 per MWh. For the calendar year 2008, approximately
40% of the Power Generation segment's estimated Nordic electricity sales volume
was hedged at approximately EUR 42 per MWh. These hedge ratios may vary
significantly depending on Fortum's actions on the electricity derivatives
markets. Hedge prices are also influenced by changes in the SEK/EUR exchange
rates, as part of the hedges are conducted in SEK.
Despite exceptionally warm weather and lower nuclear generation volumes, Fortum
achieved its best ever financial results in the first quarter of 2007. The
group's financial position is strong. With its flexible and climate-benign
production portfolio, Fortum continues to be well positioned for 2007 and 2008.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting,
as adopted by the EU.
The interim financial report should be read in conjunction with the annual
financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2006.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the Group's annual
financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2006.
The following new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations
relevant for the Group, are mandatory for the financial year ending 31 December
2007.
- IFRS 7 Financial instruments: Disclosures and a complementary amendment to
IAS 1, Presentation of Financial statements - Capital disclosures.
The Group will apply this standard from 1 January 2007. IFRS 7 introduces new
disclosure requirements relating to financial instruments. The standard does
not
have any impact on the classification or valuation of the Group's financial
instruments as such.
- IFRIC 9 Reassessment of Embedded derivatives. The interpretation has had no
material effect on Fortum's income statement and balance sheet.
The following interpretations are mandatory for the financial year ending 31
December 2007, but not relevant for the Group.
- IFRIC 7 Applying the Restatement Approach under IAS 29 Financial Reporting in
Hyperinflatory Economies.
- IFRIC 8 Scope of IFRS 2.
Accounting for the share of profits from Hafslund ASA
According to Fortum Group accounting policies the share of profits from Hafslund
has been included in Fortum Group figures based on the previous quarter
information since Hafslund's interim reports are published later than Fortum's
interim reports. Hafslund will publish January-March 2007 results on 3 May 2007.
When calculating the share of profits in Hafslund, Fortum has in accordance with
Fortum's accounting policies reclassified Hafslund's accounting treatment for
the shareholding in Renewable Energy Corporation (REC). Hafslund has classified
the shareholding in REC as financial assets at fair value through profit and
loss while Fortum has classified the REC shareholding as available for sale
financial assets with fair value changes recorded directly through equity, only
when Hafslund divests shares in REC, the cumulative fair value change effects
Fortum's income statement.
Since REC is listed on the Oslo stock exchange as of 9 May 2006, Fortum is
accounting for the fair value change in REC based on the closing price on the
Oslo stock exchange at each closing date. The amount of shares is based on the
amount published by Hafslund in the previous quarter if other information is not
available.
Hafslund has in March 2007 sold 35 million shares in REC. In accordance with the
accounting policy Fortum has recognised approximately EUR 180 million in
relation to Hafslund's divestment of REC shares as a part of the share of
profits from associates and joint ventures. The cumulative fair value change in
Fortum's equity based on the remaining number of shares reported by Hafslund was
approximately EUR 360 millions at 31 March 2007.
3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
The preparation of Interim financial statements requires management to make
judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities, income and expense. Annual results may differ from these
estimates.
In preparing these interim financial statements, the significant judgements made
by management in applying the Group´s accounting policies and the key sources of
estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the annual
financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2006.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Tax rate according to the income statement for the period was 16.5% (24,4%). |
| The tax rate for the period is low mainly due to the impact of Hafslund´s |
| sale of REC shares which impacted the share of profits from associates for |
| the period with approximately EUR 180 million. The tax rate used in the |
| income statement is always impacted by the fact that share of profits of |
| associates and joint ventures is recorded based on Fortum's share of profits |
| after tax. |

The legal liability calculated according to the Nuclear Energy Act in Finland is
EUR 685 (618) million as of 31 March 2007 (and 2006 respectively). Discounted
liability in the balance sheet calculated according to IAS 37 is EUR 453 (421)
million as of 31 March 2007. The main reason for the difference in liability is
that the legal
liability is not discounted to net present value.
Funding Target is EUR 649 (618) million as of 31 March 2007 (and 2006
respectively). The difference between the legal liability and the funding target
must be covered by a security, which will be given by the end of June
2007.
Fortum contributes to the Nuclear Waste Fund according to the funding target.
Fortum's share of the State Nuclear Waste Management Fund as of 31 March is EUR
649 (618) million. The carrying value of the fund asset in the balance sheet is
EUR 453 (421) million as of 31 March 2007 due to IFRIC Interpretation 5, which
states that it can not exceed the carrying value of the related
liabilities.
At year end there is a difference between the funding target and Fortum's share
of the State Nuclear Waste Management Fund due to yearly revised calculation of
the legal liability. The difference is paid during the first quarter of the
following year. Fortum has given real estate mortgages as security which also
covers the liability in the balance sheet. The real estate mortgages are
included in pledged assets.

TRANSACTIONS AND BALANCES WITH JOINT VENTURES
Transactions and balances with joint ventures as at and for the period ended 31
March 2007 are not material for the Group.
20. EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE
The Swedish Energy Market Authority, Energimyndigheten, announced on 10 April
2007 the decision concerning pricing at two electricity distribution areas of
Fortum in 2003. According to the decision Fortum would have to return about SEK
250 million of the collected distribution charges. The authority haspreviously
published respective decisions for 13 distribution companies. Fortum will appeal
against the decision to the County Administrative Court, because the theoretical
grid model the authority applies as its basis does not correspond to the actual
circumstances. All the other distribution companies that got the decision have
also appealed. The decisions will not be efficient until the appeal processes
have been finished. No provision in relation to this decision has been
recognised in this interim financial statements.
