FISKARS CORPORATION

Fiskars net sales for the first quarter increased by 9.4% from last year to 
EUR 152.0 million (139.0). Silva Group, which was acquired in 
September 2006, represented EUR 9.3 million or 6.7% of the increase, 
with 2.7 percentage points of the increase being organic net growth. In 
estimating the level of organic growth, it is important  to take into 
consideration the discontinuation of floor mat and watering hose -product 
lines in the United States in 2006 as well as the weakening of the US 
dollar. The acquisition of  Silva Group and the fact that the growth was 
generated mainly on European markets resulted in a shift of the 
geographical distribution of the Corporation's net sales. Of net sales in 
the first quarter, 56% (50) were generated in Europe and 38% (44) in the 
United States.

The Corporation's operating profit, including the income from  associated 
company Wärtsilä, was EUR 19.8 million (16.0). The operating profit 
from wholly-owned businesses was EUR 12.9 million (7.2) or 8.5% of 
net sales (5.2). The income from associated company Wärtsilä was EUR 
6.9 million (8.8).

Net financial costs in the first quarter were EUR 1.7 million (1.7) and the 
pre-tax profit  was EUR 18.1 million (14.3).

Taxes for continuing operations increased to EUR 3.4 million (2.1). Last 
year's first quarter net profit of EUR 0.3 million for the Power Sentry 
division, which was divested in 2006, is reported under discontinued 
operations.

The profit for the review period was EUR 14.7 million (12.5) and  
earnings per share correspondingly EUR 0.19/share (0.16).

Personnel totaled 3,041 at the end of the review period, having been 3,003 
at the beginning of the year. The number of employees in Finland and 
Scandinavia is at year-end levels, while the personnel in other countries in 
Western Europe has somewhat increased, mostly due to seasonal 
fluctuations in operations. In the United States, the number of employees 
has continued to decrease slightly because of the restructuring measures 
that have been implemented.

FISKARS BRANDS

The net sales of Fiskars Brands, Inc. increased by 7.0% to EUR 136.9 
million (128.0).  The growth would have been 11.5% without the 
weakened exchange rate of the dollar. Operating profit improved, totaling 
EUR 11.2 million (7.7). Non-recurring restructuring costs of EUR 0.6 
million were included in the operating profit for the corresponding review 
period last year. The operating profit corresponded 8.1% (6.0) of net 
sales.

The early spring started the season for garden tools earlier than usual, 
mainly in Europe but also in parts of North America, resulting in an 
increase in net sales compared to last year when the season began later 
than usual in most markets. During the first quarter last year, 
subsequently discontinued watering products and floor mats that were 
part of US Garden division were still sold in the US, their share of the 
first quarter sales of Fiskars Brands being 5.3% last year.

New craft products were launched however, the main selling period for 
these products is during the second and third quarters.

The Silva and Brunton ranges increased the total sales of outdoor 
recreation products compared to last year. All in all, the development of 
the product group led by Gerber was favorable in the first quarter.

Fiskars Brands continued to increase the selection of housewares sold 
mainly in the Nordic countries.

Some 41% (47) of Fiskars Brand's net sales for the review period were 
generated in the United States), with 51% (46) being generated in Europe. 
As a whole, net sales increased more in markets where profitability is 
above average. At the same time, discontinuation of  less profitable 
product lines within the product range improved profitability in the first 
quarter.

The move to outsourced production that is part of the restructuring 
realized in the United States has progressed according to plan and by the 
beginning of the Back-to-School season, practically all crafts products 
being sold will be outsourced.

Investments during the review period totaled EUR 2.5 million (2.2). No 
acquisitions were made during the first quarter.

Fiskars Brands personnel at the end of the review period numbered 2,693, 
having increased by 34 since the beginning of the year.


INHA WORKS

During the review period, Inha Works net sales increased by 23% from 
last year, totaling EUR 12.7 million (10.3). The operating profit was EUR 
1.6 million (1.1).

Again, deliveries of boats to dealers have clearly increased from last year. 
Production has been streamlined and the increase in productivity has 
resulted in improved profitability. The new Buster X  has found its  place 
in the market between the long-serving Buster L model and the more 
recent success, the Buster XL.

The company has invested in its product development and market 
research in order to complement its boat range in a way that will respond 
to market expectations.

Investments during the review period totaled EUR 0.6 million (0.2). 
Personnel comprised 304 employees at the end of the period (301 at the 
beginning of the year).

REAL ESTATE GROUP

Net sales for the Real Estate Group were EUR 3.1 million (1.1). The 
operating profit was EUR 2.1 million (0.1). The increase in the price of 
the standing timber is reflected in net sales and operating profit. During 
the review period the increase in price was  EUR 2.1 million (0.1), with 
the total value of the Fiskars Corporation standing timber at the end of the 
period being EUR 36.8 million (29.9).

No significant real estate deals were made during the review period.

Investments by the Real Estate Group totaled EUR 0.3 million (0.7).

WÄRTSILÄ

Fiskars' income from associated company Wärtsilä for the first quarter 
totaled EUR 6.9 million (8.8).

Fiskars' share of Wärtsilä equity and votes was 16.5% (16.8%) and 
30.4% (30.6) respectively. Fiskars did not divest or purchase any Wärtsilä 
shares during the review period.

The book value of Fiskars' investment in the associates company was 
EUR 219.9 million (239.1 at the beginning of the year), the decrease 
caused by Wärtsilä's payment of dividends to Fiskars. The dividends paid 
to Fiskars totaled EUR 27.7 million (23.7). Some EUR 37.1 million of the 
book value of Fiskars' holding in Wärtsilä was goodwill.

The market value of Fiskars shares in Wärtsilä was EUR 728 million at 
the end of the review period.

PROFITS AND TAXES

Net financial costs for the review period were on the same level as last 
year at EUR 1.7 million (1.7).

Profit before taxes totaled EUR 18.1 million (14.3). Taxes for the review 
period have been calculated on the basis of the local accumulated income 
and the enacted tax rates while taking into consideration the potential use 
of deferred tax assets and the estimated whole-year effective tax rate. 
Taxes totaled EUR 3.4 million (2.1).

The profit for the period for continuing operations was EUR 14.7 million 
(12.2). Power Sentry division, divested in the summer of 2006, has been 
reclassified as discontinued operations and its net profit for last year's 
first quarter is  reported accordingly. 
The profit for the review period was EUR 14.7 million (12.5). The 
minority share was not significant. The earnings per share attributable to 
equity holders of the company was EUR 0.19 (0.16).

BALANCE SHEET AND FINANCING 

Total assets were EUR 691.7 million, or roughly the same as at the 
beginning of the year (707.2). Changes in the balance sheet items since 
the beginning of the period were minor. Liquid assets decreased as 
dividends were paid at the end of the review period, while the amount of 
working capital increased somewhat. Inventories and trade payables 
increased with preparations for the garden season. The trade receivables 
also increased as the season started early, in March rather than, as is more 
often the case, in the second quarter. Dividend payout decreased liquid 
assets and increased the Corporation's interest-bearing net debt to EUR 
142.5 million, as compared to EUR 101.9 at the beginning of the review 
period.

Net cash flow from operating activities was EUR 7.8 million (12.8). Net 
cash used in investing activities totaled EUR 3.2 million (7.8).

The equity to assets ratio was 57% (60% at the beginning of the year). 
Net gearing was 36% (24% at the beginning of the year).

The Corporation's financial situation and liquidity remain strong. In 
addition to cash and cash equivalents, the Corporation has significant 
credit facilities available.

MANAGEMENT OF RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Fiskars most important operational risks relate to supply-chain control, 
the potential structural changes in the retail environment and also partly to 
the development of the prices of raw materials. Efforts are made in 
particular to improve supply chain management and build ties to 
subcontractors, as outsourcing is increased in accordance with the 
Corporation's strategy. The potential structural changes in distribution 
channels are seen to represent a risk mainly in the US, and operations are 
required increased flexibility and ability to think ahead.

The Fiskars Corporation Board of Directors regularly rewievs the 
principles for the management of financial risks and in accordance with 
the Corporation's investment policy, liquid assets are only invested in 
low-risk entities. Trade receivables are relatively widely spread 
geographically and between customers, and major customers generally 
have a high credit rating. No significant credit losses have materialized 
during the review period.

The Corporation has protected a portion of its most significant foreign 
currency net investments in its subsidiaries against exchange rate 
fluctuations and as from January 1, 2007 it has applied hedge accounting 
in accordance with IAS 39 standard to them. 

REPURCHASE AND TRANSFER OF OWN SHARES

Until the Annual General Meeting held March 21, 2007, the Board of 
Directors had an authorization to repurchase and decide on the 
distribution of the Corporation's shares provided that the total nominal 
value of such shares and the votes carried by them did not exceed ten 
percent (10%) of the share capital and the total votes in the company. At 
the Annual General meeting on March 21, 2007 the authorization was 
renewed unchanged. The Board has not exercised its authorization during 
the review period.

As at March 31, 2007, the company held in total 127,512 of its own A 
shares and 420 K shares. The holding has not changed during the review 
period, and the number of shares equals 0.2% of the entire share capital of 
the company. The EUR 0.9 million repurchase cost of the Corporation's 
own shares decreases the Corporation's equity.

SHARE PRICES

At the end of March 2007, the price of the Fiskars A share at the Helsinki 
Exchanges was EUR 12.12 (12.29 at the start of the year) and the price of 
the K share EUR 12.41 (12.11). The market value of the Corporation's 
share capital was EUR 944 million at the end of the review period.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2007 

The Annual General Meeting of shareholders on March 21, 2007 decided 
to pay a dividend of EUR 0.60 per share for A shares, totaling EUR 
32,890,188, and EUR 0.58 per share for K shares, totaling EUR 
13,087,867, the sum total for both series of shares being EUR 45,978,055.

It was decided that the number of Board members be nine. Mr. Kaj-
Gustaf Bergh, Mr. Alexander Ehrnrooth, Mr. Paul Ehrnrooth, Mr. Ralf 
Böer, Mr. David Drury, Ms. Ilona Ervasti-Vaintola, Mr. Gustaf 
Gripenberg, Mr. Karl Grotenfelt, and Mr. Clas Thelin were elected to the 
Board. The term of the Board members will expire at the end of the 
Annual General Meeting in 2008.

KPMG Oy Ab was elected auditor.

The Annual General Meeting decided to authorize the Board to 
repurchase, of the company's own shares, no more than 5,366,937 of 
series A and no more than 2,256,150 of series K shares in a proportion 
other than that of the shareholders' proportional shareholdings. The share 
price will be no higher than the highest price paid for Fiskars Corporation 
shares in public trading at the time of repurchase. This authorization shall 
remain in force until the end of the next Annual General Meeting.

The Annual General Meeting authorized the Board to decide on the 
distribution of the company's repurchased shares up to a maximum of 
5,494,449 series A shares and up to a maximum of 2,256,570 series K 
shares. The Board may decide on the distribution of the shares otherwise 
than in proportion to the shareholders'existing pre-emptive subscription 
rights. This authorization shall remain in force until the end of the next 
Annual General Meeting.

In its organization meeting the Board elected Kaj-Gustaf Bergh its 
chairman and Alexander Ehrnrooth and Paul Ehrnrooth vice chairmen. 
The Board decided to establish an Audit Committee, a Compensation 
Committee, and a Nomination Committee.

The Board appointed Gustaf Gripenberg chairman of the Audit 
Committee, and David Drury, Ilona Ervasti-Vaintola, Alexander 
Ehrnrooth and Paul Ehrnrooth as its other members. 
The Board appointed Kaj-Gustaf Bergh chairman of the Compensation 
Committee and Ralf Böer, Karl Grotenfelt and Clas Thelin as its other 
members. 
The Board appointed Kaj-Gustaf Bergh chairman of the Nomination 
Committee and Alexander Ehrnrooth and Paul Ehrnrooth its other 
members.

CHANGE IN OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE

In January, 2007, Turret Oy Ab notified the Corporation of a change in its 
holdings. According to its statement, the company now has a holding of 
10.2% of the share capital in Fiskars Corporation, with 12.1% of the 
votes.

OUTLOOK

Provided the present market momentum continues, the full-year net sales 
for the Fiskars wholly-owned operations will grow, and the operating 
profit will exceed that of last year due to the level of sales and profits of 
the first quarter as well as the restructuring measures gradually starting to 
take effect. Income from associated company Wärtsilä forms a significant 
part of Fiskars' annual profit.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM REPORT

This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim 
Financial Reporting. Using the same accounting principles and methods 
of computation as for the annual financial statements for 2006 with the 
exception of hedge accounting being applied on foreign currency net 
investments in subsidiaries.


Use of estimates
Complying with the IFRS standards in preparing financial statements 
requires the management to make estimates and assumptions. Such 
estimates affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the 
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the amounts of 
revenues and expenses. Although these estimates are based on the 
management's best knowledge of current events and actions, actual 
results may differ from these estimates.

IAS 39 Financial instruments - hedge accounting for foreign currency net 
investments in subsidiaries
Significant equity investments in subsidiaries situated outside the Euro 
zone have largely been hedged against foreign currency exchange rate 
fluctuations through foreign currency loans and derivatives using the 
hedge accounting to reduce the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on the 
Corporation's equity. When a foreign subsidiary is sold, these translation 
differences are included in the gain or loss on disposal reported in the 
income statement.
The change in calculation principles resulted in a decrease in the first 
quarter's equity of EUR 97,000.

Discontinued operations
The Power Sentry division was divested in the summer of 2006 and is 
reported under discontinued operations. The division's net operating 
profit for the first quarter of last year is reported as a separate item under 
discontinued operations.

Formulas for calculation of key ratios
The key ratios presented in the interim reports have been calculated using 
the same formulas as the corresponding ratios in the latest financial 
statements. The formulas for calculation of ratios are available on page 36 
of the Annual Report.

As of January 1, 2007, Fiskars has applied the following new or amended 
IFRS standards:

IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures. IFRS 7 requires additional 
disclosures about the influence of financial instruments on the entity's 
financial situation and results. Implementation will mainly influence 
future Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and does not have 
any significant impact on the interim report.

Amendment to the IAS 1 standard: Presentation of Financial Statements - 
Capital Disclosures. Implementation of the amendment will mainly 
influence future Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and does 
not have any significant impact on the interim report.

IFRIC 9 Reassessment of Embedded Derivatives. The Corporation 
estimates that this interpretation will not influence its consolidated 
financial statements or the interim report, as no company within the 
Corporation has changed contract stipulations as indicated by the 
interpretation.

IFRIC 10 Interim Financial Reporting and Impairment. IFRIC 10 states 
that an entity shall not reverse an impairment loss recognized in a 
previous interim period in respect of goodwill or an investment in either 
an equity instrument or a financial asset carried at cost. The Corporation 
estimates that this interpretation will not influence its consolidated 
financial statements or its interim report.
