FISKARS CORPORATION

Third quarter, July-September 2007


In the third quarter Fiskars net sales increased by 24.2% compared to the 
year before, totaling EUR 148.3 million (119.4). The increase in net sales 
generated by recent acquisitions was EUR 22.0 million or 18.4%.

The Corporation's operating profit was EUR 27.8 million (13.0). Operating 
profit for the wholly-owned businesses was EUR 16.7 million (6.0) or 
11.3% of net sales (5.1). Income from Wärtsilä that is included in the

Net financial costs were EUR 3.1 million (2.4) and the pre-tax profit was 
EUR 41.4 million (10.6). During the third quarter, the Corporation sold 
Wärtsilä B-shares and bought shares of series A on the stock exchange. 
The gross number of shares traded was 452,008 shares at a value of EUR 
20.7 million. The sale yielded a gain of EUR 16.8 million. Fiskars 
ownership of Wärtsilä shares remained unchanged and the number of votes 
increased.

Income taxes for continuing operations were EUR 3.2 million (2.7).

The net profit for the quarter was EUR 38.2 million (9.8) and earnings per 
share were EUR 0.49 (0.13).

Changes in corporate structure

The acquisition of Iittala Group Plc was closed on the last day of August. 
Iittala Group is a leading homeware design company and a pioneer of 
modern Scandinavian design. Iittala Group's home markets are Finland, 
Sweden, and Norway, and the company's strong brands in these markets 
are Iittala, Arabia, Hackman, BodaNova, Höganäs Keramik, Rörstrand, 
and Höyang-Polaris. In addition to the parent company in Finland, 
subsidiaries in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, the US, 
Germany, and Estonia are part of the Iittala Group. The company has 
production facilities in Helsinki, Nuutajärvi, Iittala, Sorsakoski, and 
Vähäkyrö in Finland; in Höganäs in Sweden; and in Moss in Norway. 
Iittala sells products both to retailers and directly to consumers through its 
chain of Iittala Shops and factory outlets. Iittala had a total of 38 factory 
outlets in Finland, Sweden, and Norway, in addition to which there were 
26 Iittala Shops in six countries at the end of August.

Iittala Group's net sales in 2006 totaled EUR 189.8 million, with an 
operating profit of EUR 17.0 million and a staff of 1,353. Wholesales 
comprised 73% of sales the remaining part being Iittala's own retail sales. 
Total assets for the Iittala Group at the end of August were EUR 161.6 
million. The EUR 119.4 million in loans included in the assets at the time 
of purchase were refinanced. The management of the company stayed on 
as minority shareholders of Iittala Group Ltd. with a combined ownership 
of 2.28% of the shares. Fiskars Corporations investment in Iittala was EUR 
219.6 million. The preliminary purchase price allocation is disclosed under 
"Impact of acquisitions on the consolidated balance sheet".

Iittala has been consolidated in Fiskars Corporation from the beginning of 
September. Iittala forms a new reporting segment within Fiskars 
Corporation. Iittala's operations are quite seasonal, with most of the profits 
being generated in the last quarter. This will even out the seasonal 
fluctuations of Fiskars operations.



January-September 2007 review period

Fiskars net sales increased by 13.6% in the review period, totaling EUR 
465.7 million (409.8). The acquisitions made in the past twelve months 
have generated a considerable share of the growth; the Silva Group 
represented EUR 24.0 million, Leborgne S.A. EUR 6.8 million and Iittala 
EUR 16.0 million in growth, totaling 11.4%. The discontinuation of floor-
mat and watering product lines in the United States at the end of 2006 
represented a decrease in the period's net sales of EUR 16.7 million. The 
weakening of the US dollar decreases both the percentage of sales in the 
US as well as the consolidated net sales figures. With constant exchange 
rates, then increase in sales would have been 17.2%. During the review 
period, 55.1% of net sales were generated in Europe (47.0%) and 38.7% in 
the USA (45.2%).

Operating profit was EUR 78.8 million (65.8). The operating profit for the 
Corporation's wholly-owned operations was EUR 52.2 million 
representing 11.2% of net sales. Profitability of the industrial operations 
improved and an increase in the value of standing timber of EUR 10.2 
million (2.6)  further contributed to improved operating profits. The 
operating profit for the review period includes non-recurring gains from 
fixed assets totaling EUR 1.4 million and the operating profit for the 
corresponding period last year included EUR 6.4 million non-recurring 
restructuring costs.

The net financial costs of EUR 7.2 million (7.6) were slightly lower than 
the previous year as they include some gains on investment. The EUR 16.8 
million gain from the trade in Wärtsilä stock improves the pre-tax result, 
which was EUR 88.4 million (58.1). The net profit for the review period 
was EUR 78.1million (72.5). The profit for the corresponding period last 
year includes profits and gain on sale from discontinued operations totaling 
EUR 14.9 million.

Personnel totaled 4,484, having been 3,003 at the end of 2006. The number 
of staff increased due to the 1,382 people working at Iittala and the 120 
people at Leborgne S.A.


FISKARS BRANDS

Third quarter, July-September 2007

Fiskars Brands' net sales increased by 9.5% and were EUR 121.0 million 
(110.5). The operating profit improved significantly and was EUR 12.1 
million (3.3). The operating profit percentage was 10.0% (3.0). The 
operating profit for the corresponding period last year included non-
recurring restructuring costs of EUR 1.4 million.

The profitability of Fiskars Brands' operations improved from last year. 
Discontinuation of the the less profitable product lines as part of the 
restructuring measures implemented in the United States has improved the 
operating profit. The restructuring project begun in 2005 has now been 
completed and the bulk of the products sold in the US are now outsourced. 
This has also contributed on the profitability. In Europe, increased sales 
volumes have contributed to an improved capacity utilization, which in 
turn has improved profitability. An increase in the share of new products 
sold has also improved profitability.

January-September 2007 review period

Fiskars Brands net sales increased by 7.1% and was EUR 403.6 million 
(376.9). The operating profit was EUR 41.9 million (21.1). Operating 
profit for the review period included a EUR 1.4 million non-recurring gain 
on sale of fixed assets. The corresponding period last year included 
restructuring costs of EUR 6.4 million. Thus the comparable profitability 
was 10.0% (7.3%).

Net sales increased in particular through acquisitions. The acquisition of 
Silva Group in 2006 increased sales of outdoor recreation products by 
EUR 24.0 million in Europe and the US. The acquisition in May this year 
of Leborgne S.A., the French company manufacturing and marketing 
garden hand tools, increased net sales in Europe by EUR 6.8 million. 
Integration of Leborgne to Fiskars' European garden business has 
progressed according to plan and will be finalized during the last quarter.

The weakening dollar had a negative impact on sales, as did the 
discontinuation of the floor-mat and watering product lines in the USA in 
the Fall of last year.
Gerber's net sales in Outdoor Recreation categories increased clearly from 
last year in the US.Gerber has gained more shelf space in some large retail 
chain stores in the US and earlier this year also signed a significant 
agreement to deliver products for government and military use.

New products were launched in all product categories and in all markets 
and their share of sales has increased. The one-off marketing effort to 
increase the sales of Fiskars Brands' garden tools in the US has proved a 
success. The large retail chains make their product and Stock-Keeping-
Unit selections based on annual decision making schedules and major 
changes are always possible.

Investments during the review period totaled EUR 22.0 million (32.4). 
They include the EUR 13.2 million acquisition cost for Leborgne S.A., 
while the investments in the corresponding period last year included the 
acquisition of Silva Group.

Fiskars Brands personnel numbered 2,739 at the end of the review period, 
an increase of 80 people since the beginning of the year. The increase was 
due to the acquisition of Leborgne, and an increase in the capacity of 
Gerber's outdoor recreation production line to meet a large delivery 
contract. In the company's other US operations, the number of personnel 
has continued to decrease.

IITTALA

Iittala has been consolidated in Fiskars Corporation from the beginning of 
September. In September Iittala's net sales were EUR 16.0 million and the 
operating profit before the impact of the purchase price allocation was 
EUR 1.4 million. The operating profit after purchase price allocation was 
EUR 0.3 million. 
There are some market and product overlaps between Iittala and the 
Housewares product category of Fiskars Brands. Synergy benefits are 
expected from combining operations, more efficient administration and 
wider use of distribution channels; these synergy benefits are expected to 
materialize from the beginning of the next year.

Iittala's personnel numbered 1,382 at the end of September.

INHA WORKS

In the review period, net sales for Inha Works increased by 18.7% 
compared to last year, totaling EUR 33.3 million (28.1). Operating profit 
was EUR 3.4 million (2.9). Profitability was at last year's level and the 
operating profit percentage was 10.1 (10.4). The increase in the cost of raw 
materials has cut into the profit margin. The third quarter is typically less 
profitable, as the main sales period ends with the ending of the boating 
season and the new model season has yet to begin.

Boat sales increased again this year in all the most important markets for 
Buster boats. Investments in production have made it possible to respond 
to increased demand, but once again the factory worked to its full capacity.

The new Buster X has become one of the most popular boat models.

The forged products operations developed according to plan; a downturn in 
the demand for hinges has caused preparations to adapt production 
accordingly.

During the review period, the company has invested considerably more 
than before in product development. The boat range will be complemented 
with new boats that respond to market expectations and fit into the 
company's long-term strategy. For the next boating season, the Buster 
range is supplemented by the new XXL model, which was launched in 
September. In early 2008, the new XXL will be joined by it's sister boat, a 
completely new type of Buster,  the AWC - All Weather Cruiser - 
featuring a covered cockpit.

Investments during the review period were EUR 2.6 million (0.6).

Personnel totaled 310 at the end of the review period (301 at the beginning 
of the year).

REAL ESTATE

Net sales for the Real Estate Group during the review period was EUR 
14.6 million (6.7). The operating profit was EUR 11.4 million (5.2). The 
price of standing timber has been increasing for a year, resulting in an 
increase of EUR 10.2 million (2.6) in net sales and operating profit . The 
total value of the Fiskars Corporation standing timber at the end of the 
review period was EUR 45.6 million (35.4).

No major real estate deals were made during the review period and the 
renting business developed according to plan and the operating cash flow 
was close to zero.

Investments by the Real Estate operations totaled EUR 1.3 million (1.5).

The number of staff at the end of the summer period was still 36 (27 at the 
beginning of the year).

ASSOCIATED COMPANY WÄRTSILÄ

Fiskars' income from associate Wärtsilä for the review period was EUR 
26.6 million (40.8). Wärtsilä's net profit for the corresponding period last 
year included a significant gain from the divestment of shares in Assa 
Abloy and a share in the associate Ovako's net profits.

Fiskars' share of Wärtsilä equity and votes was 16.5% (16.8%) and 32.6% 
(30.6%) respectively. The change in the votes was due to a trade of shares 
of series B for shares of series A during the third quarter.

The book value of Fiskars' investment in the associate was EUR 256.5 
million (239.1 at the beginning of the year). Dividends paid to Fiskars in 
the review period totaled EUR 27.7 million (23.7). Some EUR 54.3 million 
of the book value of Fiskars' holding in Wärtsilä was goodwill (37.7 at the 
beginning of the year).

The market value of Fiskars shares in Wärtsilä was EUR 765 million (price 
of A share EUR 48.60 and B share EUR 48.05) at the end of the review 
period.


PROFITS AND TAXES

Net financial costs for the review period were EUR 7.2 million (7.6). The 
financial income for the review period was slightly higher than during the 
corresponding period last year.

Profit before taxes totaled EUR 88.4million (58.1). Income 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 10.3 million; the taxes for the corresponding 
period last year were EUR 0.5 million, less due to the tax treatment of 
discontinued operations.

The net profit for the period derived from continuing operations was EUR 
78.1 million (57.6). The Power Sentry division, divested in the summer of 
2006, was reclassified in 2006 as discontinued operations and its net profit 
for last year's first quarter is reported accordingly.

The net profit for the review period was EUR 78.1 million (72.5). The 
earnings per share attributable to equity holders of the company was EUR 
1.01 (0.94).

BALANCE SHEET AND FINANCING

Total assets were EUR 1,027.9 million (707.2 at the beginning of the year). 
The acquisition of the Iittala Group resulted in a significant growth in 
assets. The transaction  resulted in  an increase in inventories by EUR 60.6 
million and trade receivables by EUR 18.2 million and in long-term assets 
by EUR 218.8 million of which EUR 139.8 million comes from purchase 
price allocation. Growth in business further increased trade receivables, 
inventories and trade payables. Net working capital was EUR 166.0 
million, or EUR 61.3 million more than at the end of the year; of this, 
growth in business created EUR 5.6 million while Iittala's share of 
increase was EUR 47.3 million and Leborgne's EUR 8.4 million. The 
Corporation's interest-bearing net debt was EUR 345.7 million, or EUR 
243.8 million more than at year-end.

Net cash flow from operating activities was EUR 52.1 million (72.0). Net 
cash used in investing activities totaled EUR 250.3 million. In the 
corresponding period last year, the cash used in investing activities was 
EUR 5.8 million, as investments were financed through divestments.

The equity to assets ratio was 44% (60 at the beginning of the year). Net 
gearing was 76% (24 at the beginning of the year). The significant changes 
in these key figures are primarily caused by the acquisition of Iittala and 
Leborgne.

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 in various markets 
and also partly to the development of the prices of raw materials and 
energy. 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. In order to mitigate possible 
problems with subcontractors and logistics, the Corporation has also 
increased inventories.

The potential structural changes in distribution channels are seen to 
represent a risk mainly in the US, and operations are required to increase 
flexibility and the ability to think ahead.

The nature of most of the company's industrial operations is such that they 
pose no significant environmental risks. Changes in environmental 
directives and changes in production capacity or structure may cause 
additional costs at some older production facilities. The company is 
committed to complying with legislation and statutes for the protection of 
the environment and strives to develop its production and mode of 
operation in ways that minimize the burden on the environment.

The Fiskars Corporation Board of Directors regularly reviews the 
principles for the management of financial risks and in accordance with the 
Corporation's investment policies, 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 hedged a certain part 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 the IAS 39 standard. A portion of the company's 
electricity purchases have also been hedged against fluctuations in the 
energy market and hedge accounting in accordance with the IAS 39 
standard is also applied to these instruments.

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 September 30, 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

Fiskars shares are traded on the Nordic list of the Helsinki Exchange. The 
shares were moved to the Large Cap Helsinki segment on July 1, 2007. At 
the end of September, the price of the Fiskars A share was EUR 13.38 
(12.29 at the beginning of the year) and the price of the K share EUR 14.20 
(12.11). The market value of the Corporation's share capital was EUR 
1,054 million at the end of the review period.

CHANGES IN OWNERSHIP

On September 4. 2007 Fiskars Corporation was informed that Virala Oy 
Ab had increased its holdings to more than 1/5 of the voting rights in 
Fiskars Corporation. Holdings of share capital are still more than 1/10. The 
shares of votes and shares were on September 4. 2007 20,2% and 11.1% 
respectively.
On September 4. 2007 Fiskars Corporation was informed that Varma 
Mutual Pension Insurance Company had decreased its holdings to less than 
1/20 of the voting rights in Fiskars Corporation. The shares of votes and 
shares were on September 4. 2007 2.7% and 4.3% respectively.


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.

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 CORPORATE MANAGEMENT

On August 13, the Fiskars Board of Directors appointed Mr Kari 
Kauniskangas, M.Sc (Econ), President and CEO of Fiskars Corporation 
from the beginning of 2008.Mr Heikki Allonen will continue as President 
and CEO until the end of 2007.


OUTLOOK

Fiskars Corporation net sales are estimated to grow by around 20% in 2007 
compared to the previous year largely as a result of the made acquisitions.

Operating profits from the operations wholly owned by Fiskars are also 
estimated to increase from last year, driven by both improvements in 
Fiskars Brands, standing timber and by the consolidation of Iittala which is 
estimated to generate the bulk of its profits during the last months of the 
year.

Due to the general uncertainty on the markets it is becoming more difficult 
to forecast the development of the consumer markets, especially in the 
United States.

The share of profits from the associated company Wärtsilä is again 
estimated to form a substantial part of Fiskars' operating profit in 2007.

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 and changes in the market price for electricity.

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.

Sale and purchase of Wärtsilä shares
Fiskars Corporation has sold Wärtsilä's A shares and acquired an equal 
amount of B shares increasing Corporation's voting right in Wärtsilä by 
1.3% to 32.6%. Management has assessed that there is a commercial 
substance in selling A shares and buying equal amount of B shares, and, 
therefore, adopted an accounting policy to recognize the transaction at fair 
value.

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  
consolidated equity. When a foreign subsidiary is sold, these translation 
differences are included in the gain or loss on disposal reported in the 
income statement. Application of hedge accounting resulted in an increase 
in the review period's equity of EUR 4.5 million.

Discontinued operations
The Power Sentry division was divested in the summer of 2006 and is 
reported under discontinued operations. The gain from the sale and the 
division's net operating profit for the corresponding period 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.

Fiskars acquired Iittala Group Plc. on August 31. Iittala designs,
produces and sells homeware, its home markets are Finland, Sweden and
Norway and in addition Iittala has sales companies in United States,
Denmark, Estonia, The Netherlands, Germany and Poland.
Iittala's net sales in 2006 were EUR 189.8 million, operating profit was
EUR 17.0 million and net profit was EUR 7.4 million.
Total assets were EUR 160.5 million and personnel 1 353 at the end of 2006.
Iittala forms a new segment within Fiskars and the consolidated
net sales for the review period was EUR 16.0 million and the operating
profit before eliminations from purchase price allocation was EUR 1.4
million. Iittala and Fiskars have not had any business relations
before the acquisition.
If Iittala had been consolidated from the beginning of the year
the proforma consolidated net sales and operating profit for Fiskars
would have been EUR 579 million and EUR 84 million respectively.
Purchase price has been allocated to the intangible assets in Iittala,
valuation of the trademarks was based on their qualities and significance.
Customer relationships and franchising business have also been included
in immaterial assets. Trademarks are not depreciated annually as no
economical lifetime can be established. Customer relationships and
franchising business related assets are depreciated during their estimated
economical lifetime of 15 years. Additionally part of the purchase price
was allocated to inventory, this will be realized during 2007.
The goodwill from the acquisition relates mostly to the synergies
that will be gained from integrating the businesses.
