Compared to the previous period, the operating result excluding non-recurring   
items increased due to a rise in delivery volumes as a result of improved       
demand, higher average selling prices of board, paper and pulp, and the         
strengthening of the US dollar and British pound against the euro.              

The total delivery volume of paper businesses in January-March was 311,000      
tonnes (266,000). The deliveries by Consumer Packaging totalled 321,000 tonnes  
(327,000).                                                                      

Financial income and expenses totalled EUR -22 million (-20). Foreign exchange  
gains and losses from accounts receivable, accounts payable, financial income   
and expenses and the valuation of currency hedging were EUR -6 million (1). Net 
interest and other financial income and expenses amounted to EUR -16 million    
(-21). Other financial expenses include EUR 0 million of valuation gains on     
interest rate derivatives (valuation gain of 1).                                

In January-March, the result from continuing operations before taxes was EUR 25 
million (-74). The result from continuing operations before taxes, excluding    
non-recurring items, was EUR 15 million (-15). Income taxes, including the      
change in deferred tax liabilities, were EUR -6 million (+14).                  

Earnings per share were EUR 0.06 (-0.21). Earnings per share from continuing    
operations excluding non-recurring items were EUR 0.03 (-0.02). Return on equity
was 7.9 per cent (-24.3), and 3.6% (-1.4) excluding non-recurring items. Return 
on capital employed was 9.1 per cent (-8.7); excluding non-recurring items 7.3  
per cent (0.4).                                                                 

Result for January-March compared with the corresponding period last year       
M-real's sales totaled EUR 602 million (Q1/2009: 623). Comparable sales were up 
7.3 per cent. The operating result was EUR 49 million (-118), and the operating 
result excluding non-recurring items was EUR 39 million (-65).

discontinued operations.                                                        

A net total of EUR -53 million was recognised as non-recurring items in the     
operating result for January-March 2009, the most significant being:            

* EUR 28 million in cost provisions and write-downs in Speciality Papers        
connected to the closure of the Hallein paper mill.

The operating result excluding non-recurring items compared with the            
corresponding period last year was improved by increased delivery volumes as a  
result of the recovery in general demand, higher pulp price and implemented cost
savings. The result was impaired by lower average selling prices of office      
papers.

Financial income and expenses in the period totalled EUR -22 million (4).       
Financial income for the corresponding period of 2009 included an approximately 
EUR 31 million gain from the repurchase of M-real's 2010 bonds. Foreign exchange

and expenses and the valuation of currency hedging were EUR -6 million (+0). Net

(+4). Other financial expenses include EUR 0 million of valuation gains on      
interest rate derivatives (valuation gain of 2).

25 million (-115). The result from continuing operations before taxes, excluding
non-recurring items, was EUR 15 million (-62).Income taxes, including the change

operations excluding non-recurring items were EUR 0.03 (-0.18). Return on equity

items. Return on capital employed was 9.1 per cent (-13.4); excluding

Structural change                                                               
In December 2009, M-real announced that it will start a new profit improvement  
programme for 2010, with the most significant actions being plans to permanently
shut down the Alizay pulp mill in France and two speciality paper machines in   
Reflex, Germany, the plan to streamline the organisation and management model in
M-real Zanders, a EUR 22 million investment at the Husum mill to improve its    
energy efficiency and a new EUR 20 million internal profit improvement programme
covering all of M-real's business areas. Once implemented, the planned measures 
are expected to improve M-real's annual operating result by EUR 80 million with 
full effect from 2011 onwards. The resulting improvement of the planned measures
in 2010 is expected to be EUR 40 million. The combined profit impact of these   
planned measures and the previous years' profit improvement programmes are      
expected to be approximately EUR 100 million positive in 2010.                  

M-real's structural change from a paper company to become more clearly a        
packaging material producer has proceeded according to plans. The strategic     
review of the paper business continues.                                         

Financing

29.6) and the gearing ratio 121 per cent (153). The net gearing ratio was 86 per
cent (84). Some of M-real's loan agreements set a 120 per cent limit on the     
company's net gearing ratio and a 30 per cent limit on the equity ratio.        
Calculated as defined in the loan agreements, the net gearing ratio at the end  
of March was approximately 65 per cent (63) and the equity ratio some 38 per    
cent (35).                                                                      

The change in the fair value of investments available for sale was approximately
EUR +17 million based mainly on the increase in the value of the Pohjolan Voima 
shares.                                                                         

At the end of March, net interest-bearing liabilities totalled EUR 821 million  
(777). Foreign-currency-denominated loans accounted for 11 per cent; 81 per cent
were floating-rate and the rest were fixed-rate. At the end of March, the       
average interest rate on loans was 5.7 per cent and the average maturity of     
long-term loans 2.6 years. The interest rate maturity of loans was 6.5 months at
the end of March. During the period, the interest rate maturity has varied      
between 6 and 7 months.                                                         

Cash flow from operations amounted to EUR -27 million (Q1-Q4/2009: 110). Working
capital was up EUR 68 million (down 140).                                       

At the end of the period, an average of 5.0 months of the net foreign currency  
exposure was hedged. The degree of hedging varied between 4 and 6 months during 
the period. Approximately 83 per cent of the non-euro-denominated equity was    
hedged at the end of the review period.                                         

Liquidity continues at a good level. At the end of the review period, liquidity 
was EUR 441 million, of which EUR 279 million consisted of undrawn pension      
premium (TyEL) loans, and EUR 162 million of liquid assets and investments. To  
meet its short-term financing needs, the Group also had at its disposal         
uncommitted domestic and foreign commercial paper programmes and credit         
facilities amounting to about EUR 530 million. In January, M-real redeemed      
prematurely EUR 250 million of its bond maturing in December 2010 at a          
redemption price equalling 100 per cent of the par value according to the terms 
of the notes.                                                                   

The amount of liquid funds has decreased by EUR 335 million during the period.  
EUR 252 million has been used for repayments of loans. In addition, the         
liquidity has decreased due to an increase in other interest-bearing receivables
and the slightly negative cash flow. Metsäliitto Group's share of the EUR 175   
million total of interest-bearing receivables is EUR 164 million, of which EUR  
115 million can immediately be converted into cash.                             

Shares                                                                          
In January-March, the highest price for M-real's B share on the NASDAQ OMX      
Helsinki was EUR 2.15, the lowest EUR 1.46, and the average price EUR 1.75. At  
the end of March, the price of the B share was EUR 2.12. At the end of 2009, the
price of the B share was EUR 1.53 and the average price during 2009 was EUR     
0.66.                                                                           

The trading volume of B shares was EUR 167 million, 33 per cent of the share    
capital. The market value of the A and B shares totaled EUR 707 million at the  
end of March.                                                                   

At the end of March, Metsäliitto Cooperative owned 38.6 per cent of the shares, 
and the voting rights conferred by these shares amounted to 60.5 per cent.      
International investors' holdings increased to 20 per cent.                     

The company does not hold any of its own shares.                                

Board of Directors and Auditors                                                 
The Annual General Meeting in March confirmed the number of members of the      
M-real Board of Directors as nine (9). The Annual General Meeting elected as    
members of the company's Board of Directors Mikael Aminoff, M. Sc. (Forestry),  
Martti Asunta, M. Sc. (Forestry), Kari Jordan, Honorary Counsellor, Kirsi Komi, 
LL.M., Kai Korhonen, M. Sc. (Technology), Liisa Leino, M.Edu., Juha Niemelä,    
Honorary Counsellor, Antti Tanskanen, Minister and Erkki Varis, M. Sc.          
(Technology). The term of office of the Board members expires at the end of the 
next Annual General Meeting.                                                    

At its organising meeting, the Board of Directors elected Kari Jordan as its    
Chairman and Martti Asunta as its Vice Chairman. The Board further resolved to  
organise the Board committees as follows: The members of the Audit Committee are
Kirsi Komi, Kai Korhonen, Antti Tanskanen and Erkki Varis. The members of the   
Nomination and Compensation Committee are Mikael Aminoff, Martti Asunta, Kari   
Jordan, Liisa Leino and Juha Niemelä.                                           

The Annual General Meeting elected Authorised Public Accountants                
PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy as M-real's auditor. The term of office of the auditor
expires at the end of the next Annual General Meeting.                          

Events after the period                                                         
The shareholding of Norges Bank decreased on 8 April, 2010 to 4.4 percent of the
total share capital and to 1.4 percent of the total voting rights of M-real     
Corporation.                                                                    

Near-term outlook                                                               
The demand for board is expected to remain good during the second quarter.      
Measures to increase both folding boxboard and liner prices are underway, and as
a result, the average prices are expected to increase slightly by the end of the
second quarter.                                                                 

The production shut-downs in Finland due to the holiday season at Midsummer will
slightly weaken the result for the second quarter. Also, the stevedore strike in
Finnish ports in March will cause some additional logistics costs during the    
second quarter.                                                                 

The demand for uncoated fine paper improved considerably during the first months
of the year. The demand seems to continue to be strong during the second        
quarter. Prices were increased by about 8 per cent in March, and the positive   
result of this on the result will begin to show by the end of the second        
quarter. M-real has additionally announced a new price increase of 15 per cent, 
which is expected to materialise by the end of the second quarter, at least     
partially. The production of the Alizay paper production will need to be        
curtailed to some extent due to short fibre pulp availability problems in the   
coming months. The last phase of the Husum pulp mill recovery boiler investment 
will be realised during the second quarter, which will result in a negative     
effect of about EUR 5-6 million for the second quarter.                         
                                                                                
The demand for speciality papers has improved gradually but is still below      
normal. The demand is expected to remain unchanged during the second quarter.   
Due to problems with the availability of short fibre pulp, the delivery volumes 
of Speciality Papers seem to remain lower in the second quarter than in the     
first quarter. The prices of speciality papers have been increased depending on 
the products by 10 per cent at the most, and the positive impact of this on the 
result will be seen partially in the second quarter and fully from the third    
quarter onwards.                                                                

The availability of pulp has weakened considerably worldwide. This has caused   
board and paper production curtailments, which seem to continue. The price of   
pulp is likely to continue increasing.                                          

In December 2009, M-real launched a new EUR 80 million profit improvement       
programme for 2010. The combined profit impact of the new planned measures and  
the previous years' profit improvement programmes is expected to be             
approximately EUR 100 million positive in 2010. In addition to the business     
areas, the downward development of costs will be seen in Other operations during
2010. The average total production input costs, apart from pulp, are not        
expected to change materially during 2010.                                      

Taking the factors mentioned above into account, M-real's 2Q 2010 operating     
result excluding non-recurring items expected to remain about at the same level 
than in the 1Q 2010.                                                            

As earlier estimated, M-real's full year 2010 operating result excluding        
non-recurring items is expected to be positive.                                 

Near-term business risks                                                        
In spite of several signs of improvement, there is still the risk that the      
revival of the global economy will be prolonged or stop, and that the demand for
paperboard and paper products, which has already mainly revived, can experience 
another downturn.                                                               

M-real has announced significant price increases in its main product types as a 
result of favourable development of demand and an increase in the price of pulp 
price. There is a risk of not being able to realise the price increases         
according to plans.                                                             

The production of M-real's paper mills may need to be curtailed more than       
expected due to the problems with the availability of short-fibred pulp.        

Because the forward-looking estimates and statements of these financial         
statements are based on current plans and estimates, they contain risks and     
other uncertain factors that may cause the results to differ from the statements
concerning them. In the short term, M-real's result will be particularly        
affected by the price of, and demand for, finished products, raw material costs,
the price of energy, and the exchange rate development of the euro.

M-real's 2009 annual report.

Result for January-March compared to the previous quarter                       

The Consumer Packaging business area's operating result, excluding non-recurring
items, improved compared to the previous quarter and totalled EUR 39 million    
(Q4/2009: 34). The improvement of the result was mainly due to a higher average 
price as a result of implemented price increases and weakened euro. Demand      
remained favourable. The delivery volumes were slightly lower due to a delay in 
deliveries as a result of the strike of Finnish stevedores. The result did not  
include non-recurring items.                                                    

The result for the previous quarter included non-recurring items of EUR -1      
million.                                                                        

The deliveries of European folding boxboard producers were level with the       
previous quarter. Consumer Packaging's deliveries of folding boxboard were down 
by 4 per cent.                                                                  

Result for January-March compared with the corresponding period last year       

The operating result excluding non-recurring items for the Consumer Packaging   
business area improved from the corresponding period last year and totalled EUR 
39 million (Q1/2009: -1). The most significant factor contributing to the result
was higher delivery volume resulting from the recovery in demand.               

The result for the corresponding period last year included non-recurring items  
of EUR -16 million related to the closure of Metsä-Botnia's Kaskinen mill.      

The deliveries of European folding boxboard producers increased by 13 per cent  
compared with the corresponding period last year. Consumer Packaging's          
deliveries of folding boxboard were up by 14 per cent.

Result for January-March compared to the previous quarter                       

The operating result for Office Papers, excluding non-recurring items, EUR 0    
million, was on a par with the previous quarter (Q4/2009: 0). The result was    
improved by higher delivery volumes and higher average selling price due to     
implemented price increases. The result was weakened by higher raw material and 
energy costs. The result did not include non-recurring items.                   

The operating result for the previous quarter included EUR -54 million (net) of 
non-recurring items from impairment losses (-47) and cost provisions.

items. The result for the corresponding period last year did not include
