First quarter 2009 results were a good achievement amidst challenging market
conditions. The biggest segment, Power Generation, achieved its highest-ever
quarterly result with the highest-ever achieved Nordic power price. The first
quarter market conditions were more difficult than usual. The Nordic countries
consumed about 3% less electricity in the first quarter of 2009 than the
previous year. The temperature corrected consumption was about 6% below the
previous year. Also the decline of key currency rates, especially the SEK,
affected the results negatively.
January-March comparable operating profit was EUR 602 million. The improvement
from last year is mainly due to better performance in the Power Generation and
Markets segments.
The decrease in the Swedish currency rate affected the operating profit
negatively. The average SEK rate for the first-quarter 2009 decreased by
approximately 16% from the same period last year. The negative translation
effect from the decrease on the average SEK rate was approximately EUR 50
million in first quarter 2009 comparable operating profit, compared to the same
period last year. The decline of the Polish, Norwegian and Russian currencies
accented the negative translation effects by EUR 7 million, which totalled EUR
-57 million in the first-quarter 2009.
The share of profit of associates and joint ventures was EUR -33 (+34) million,
mainly due to Hafslund ASA in Norway.
Fortum's net cash from operating activities increased and was EUR 822 (542)
million. In the first quarter, Fortum's net debt decreased by EUR 545 million to
EUR 5,634 million.
Fortum's liquidity is strong, with liquid funds at the end of the quarter
amounting to EUR 3,041 million. Undrawn committed credit facilities were
approximately EUR 2.6 billion at the end of March. In March 2009, Fortum issued
a EUR 750 million five-year and a EUR 750 million ten-year eurobond under its
EMTN (Euro Medium-Term Note) programme. The five-year bond carries a coupon of
4.625% and the ten-year bond 6%.
The integration of TGC-10 is proceeding according to plans. Fortum's Russian
segment achieved a stand-alone operating profit that is in line with the
performance in the first quarter of last year. This is a good achievement in a
difficult environment - Russian power prices, volumes, and currency declined
clearly from the first quarter of last year.
In the first quarter, the Power Generation segment's achieved Nordic power price
was EUR 49.6 (44.6) per megawatt-hour (MWh), 11% higher than a year ago. The
average system spot price of electricity in Nord Pool was EUR 38.2 (38.0) per
MWh.
Financial results
January - March

Share of profits of associates and joint ventures was EUR -33 million, EUR 67
million lower than in the previous year. This was mainly due to the lower
contribution from Hafslund ASA's fourth-quarter 2008 earnings. Hafslund's effect
is EUR 61 million of the decrease.
The Group's net financial expenses decreased to EUR 32 (45) million. The
decrease is mainly attributable to higher interest income and fair value gains.
The change in fair value of derivatives was EUR 11 (-2) million.
Profit before taxes was EUR 534 (598) million.
Taxes for the period totalled EUR 111 (122) million. The tax rate according to
the income statement was 20.8% (20.4).
The profit for the period was EUR 406 (452) million. Fortum's earnings per share
were EUR 0.46 (0.51).
Non-controlling (minority) interests accounted for EUR 17 (24) million. These
are mainly attributable to Fortum Värme Holding AB, in which the City of
Stockholm has a 50% economic interest.
Return on capital employed was 12.6% for the last twelve months (15.0% at
year-end 2008), and return on shareholders' equity was 17.0% for the last twelve
months (18.7% at year-end 2008).
Market conditions
NORDIC COUNTRIES
According to preliminary statistics, the Nordic countries consumed 112 (115)
terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity in the first quarter of 2009, about 3% less
than the previous year. The temperature-corrected consumption was about 6% less
than the previous year - first quarter 2009 was colder than the first quarter
last year. The decrease is mainly attributable to the drop in industrial
consumption as a result of the economic slowdown. The Nordic industrial
consumption decreased about 17% compared to the first quarter in 2008.
The price of coal decreased during the first quarter of 2009 and was clearly
lower compared to the year before. The average market price of coal (ICE API2)
during the first quarter was EUR 55 (92) per tonne. Oil prices remained stable
during the first quarter of 2009 but were at a significantly lower level
compared to the first quarter of 2008. During the first quarter, the average
market price of CO2 emission allowances (EUA) for 2009 was EUR 11.5 per tonne
CO2. The corresponding price for CO2 emission allowances for 2008 was EUR 21.4
per tonne CO2.
Year 2009 started with the Nordic water reservoirs 5 TWh below the long-term
average. At the end of the first quarter, the Nordic water reservoirs were 8 TWh
below the long-term average and 17 TWh below the corresponding level last year.
During the first quarter, the average system spot price for power in Nord Pool
was EUR 38.2 (38.0) per MWh. During the first quarter, the Finnish and Swedish
area prices were close to the system price level, being EUR 38.1 (39.3) per MWh
in Finland and EUR 38.3 (39.2) per MWh in Sweden.
In Germany, the average spot price for the first quarter was EUR 47.4 (56.2) per
MWh, being higher than in the Nordic area. This resulted in a net export from
the Nordic area to Germany.
RUSSIA
According to preliminary statistics, electricity demand in the first quarter of
2009 decreased by 6-7% compared to the corresponding period of the previous
year. In the Urals region, electricity consumption decreased by about 8%
compared to the previous year. In the Tyumen region, where industrial production
is dominated by oil and gas industries, electricity demand continued to increase
by 1-2%. In the Chelyabinsk region, dominated by the metals industry, the
decrease in electricity demand was over 15%
The average electricity spot price, excluding capacity price, in the European
Urals part of Russia declined to 585 (761) RUB/MWh during the first quarter of
2009. The regulated electricity prices increased from a year ago. The capacity
prices are still mainly regulated and were, on average, higher than a year ago.
The electricity market liberalisation rate was increased from 25% to 30% in the
beginning of 2009. The rules for the long-term capacity market are currently
under consideration by Russian government.
Total power and heat generation figures
Fortum's total power generation during January-March 2009 was 19.2 (15.2) TWh,
of which 13.7 (14.9) TWh was in the Nordic countries, representing 12% (13%) of
the total Nordic electricity consumption. Fortum's total heat production during
January-March 2009 was 19.1 (9.0) TWh, of which 7.7 (7.6) TWh was in the Nordic
countries.
The increase in the total power and heat generation volumes is mainly due to the
inclusion of TGC-10, consolidated from the beginning of April 2008.
The decrease in the Nordic hydropower generation is mainly due to lower
precipitation and inflows into Nordic water reservoirs. 2008 was an
exceptionally good hydro year. The decrease in the Nordic nuclear power
generation is mainly due to different timing in planned maintenance outages in
Sweden.
Fortum's total power and heat generation figures are presented below. In
addition, the segment reviews include the respective figures by segment.

* For the Power Generation segment in the Nordic countries, excluding
pass-through sales.
During the first quarter, the average system spot price in Nord Pool was EUR
38.2 per MWh, with the Finnish area price being EUR 38.1 per MWh and the Swedish
area price EUR 38.3 per MWh. In the first quarter, Generation's achieved Nordic
power price was EUR 49.6 per MWh, up by 11% from a year ago. The segment's
Nordic sales volume without pass-through items was 12.5 (13.5) TWh in the
period.
In the first quarter, the Power Generation segment's comparable operating profit
was slightly higher than in the corresponding period last year. The improvement
was mainly due to a higher achieved Nordic power price, stemming from improved
hedging prices. The positive impact from the higher Nordic power price was
partly offset by lower hydro and nuclear volumes.
The translation effect from the weaker average SEK rate was approximately EUR
-35 million in the segment's first-quarter comparable operating profit, compared
to the same period a year ago.
In February, Fortum submitted to the Government of Finland an application for a
decision-in-principle concerning the construction of a new nuclear power plant
unit on the island of Hästholmen in Loviisa. According to plan, the new unit
will be operational in 2020 and its designed service life is at least 60 years.
The application presents five different plant alternatives.
In February, the Swedish government announced its new climate and energy
strategy, which allows new nuclear power reactors to be built to replace old
reactors. This decision gives also Fortum new options when considering the
future development of the Swedish partially-owned Oskarshamn and Forsmark
nuclear power plants.
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 mainly in other markets.

The segment's heat sales during January-March 2009 amounted to 9.4 (9.2) TWh,
most of which was generated in the Nordic countries. During the same period,
power sales from CHP production totalled 1.6 (1.7) TWh.
The Heat segment's first-quarter comparable operating profit was EUR 9 million
lower than in the previous year. The decline is due to the negative translation
effect of EUR 12 million from weakened currencies, mainly the SEK and PLN.
Reduced availability affected performance in Sweden. In most other markets the
comparable operating profit improved.
A new CHP -plant in Estonia was taken into commercial use in late March 2009.
The construction of three new CHP -plants in Finland, Poland and Estonia
proceeded.
The decline in the sales volume in Finland is mainly due to the sale of the
CHP-company in Jyväskylä, which took effect at the end of 2008.

The volume of distribution and regional network transmissions during the first
quarter of 2009 totalled 8.2 (7.9) TWh and 4.8 (5.0) TWh, respectively.
Electricity transmissions via the regional distribution network totalled 4.0
(4.1) TWh in Sweden and 0.8 (0.9) TWh in Finland.
The comparable operating profit of the Distribution segment was EUR 81 million
in the first quarter, EUR 6 million lower than the previous year. The main
reason for the decline is the weaker average SEK rate, which led to a negative
translation effect of approximately EUR 7 million.
The main roll-out of new smart meters (Automated Meter Management, AMM) in
Sweden was finalised during December 2008. By the end of the first quarter of
2009, approximately 820,000 meters out of the 844,000 were installed. The
remaining meters will be installed during the coming months. The legislation for
monthly meter reading takes effect 1 July 2009. Fortum has entered into the
final stages of the roll-out in the automatic meter reading project in Sweden
and is presently discussing with the service provider how to structure the
remainder of the roll-out as well as the operations phase.
In March, a cooperation agreement between Fortum and Karlstad municipality in
Sweden regarding a charging infrastructure for electric vehicles was signed.
Fortum has agreements on charging infrastructures with three municipalities
(Espoo in Finland, Stockholm and Karlstad in Sweden). The aim of the cooperation
is to analyse the requirements that plug-in hybrids and electric cars will have
on the charging infrastructure and to pilot charging points in the cities.

Markets
Markets is responsible for retail sales of electricity to a total of 1.3 million
private and business customers as well as to other electricity retailers in
Sweden, Finland and Norway. Markets buys its electricity through Nord Pool.
Markets sells approximately 70% of its volumes to business customers and 30% to
retail consumers.

In the first quarter, Markets' electricity sales totalled 9.7 (11.2) TWh. The
decrease in the sales volume was mainly due to the reorganisation of
unprofitable business customer contracts and lower consumption in the business
customer segment as a result of the economic recession.
Markets' first-quarter comparable operating profit was slightly negative but
clearly better than a year ago. Lower wholesale market prices and lower price
volatility, renegotiated sales agreements and renewed hedging operations,
combined with improved cost efficiency, led to better performance.
In the first quarter, Markets announced a new pricing mechanism for Kesto, the
current-price consumer contract in Finland. The pricing reform will bring
regularity and transparency to consumer pricing in Finland. Price updates will
be automatic, will be based on realised forward prices, and will take place four
times a year.
Russia
The segment comprises power and heat generation and sales in Russia. The segment
includes TGC-10 and Fortum's holding in TGC-1. TGC-10 is accounted for as a
subsidiary and fully consolidated from 1 April 2008. TGC-1 is an associated
company and accounted for using the equity method.

TGC-10 operates in well-developed industrial regions of the Urals and Western
Siberia.
The segment's power sales during the first quarter amounted to 5.6 TWh. During
the same period, heat sales of the segment totalled 10.2 TWh. The segment sold
approximately 2/3 of its volumes in Tuymen and other oil- and gas-producing
areas in TGC-10 region. The remaining 1/3 of its volumes were sold in the
Chelyabinsk region where the metals industry dominates wholesale electricity
demand.
In the first quarter 2009, the average electricity spot price in the Urals hub
was 24% lower than a year ago, 535 (705) RUB/MWh. During the first-quarter 2009,
TGC-10 sold 31% of its electricity production with liberalised electricity
price.
TGC-10's average regulated electricity price was 13% higher than a year ago at
541 (479) RUB/MWh. The average regulated capacity price in the first-quarter
2009 was 20% higher than a year ago at 189,500 RUB/MW/month. In the
corresponding period in 2008, the price was 157,900 RUB/MW/month.
During the first quarter 2009, the average limit gas price in the Urals region
was 1750 RUB/1000 m3, 5% higher than in the corresponding period of 2008.

The segment's EBITDA was at the same level compared to the pro-forma EBITDA for
the first quarter last year.
The segment booked a comparable operating profit of EUR 5 million in the first
quarter of 2009. The profit for the quarter is explained by TGC-10's stand-alone
profit of EUR 18 million, the surplus value depreciation of EUR 11 million, and
integration costs of EUR 2 million.
TGC-10's business is typically very seasonal: Its results usually are strongest
during the first and last quarters of the year. TGC-10 figures have been
consolidated starting from the beginning of April 2008.
Russian power sector reform is proceeding. Starting 1 January 2009, 30% of all
produced power in Russia was sold on the competitive market. The wholesale power
market is expected to be fully liberalised by 2011.
Fortum is putting considerable focus on the integration of TGC-10 as a part of
Fortum. The integration process started in April 2008. The new organisational
structure and Fortum's management model have been in place since the beginning
of September 2008.
The integration has proceeded well and several targets for efficiency
improvements have been identified. Consequently, the annual efficiency
improvements are expected to be approximately EUR 100 million by 2011.
Within the group, around 1,100 persons working at TGC-10 were transferred to
Power Generation segment's Service Business unit.
Capital expenditures, divestments and investments in shares
Capital expenditures and investments in shares in January-March 2009 totalled
EUR 181 (1,227) million. Investments, excluding acquisitions, were EUR 150 (175)
million.
HEAT
A new CHP -plant in Tartu, Estonia was taken into commercial use in late March
2009. The new gas-based CHP -plant in Jelgava, Latvia, was inaugurated in
January 2009. The construction of the new CHP -plants in Espoo, Finland, in
Czestochowa, Poland, and in Pärnu, Estonia, proceeded.
RUSSIA
TGC-10 has an extensive investment programme aiming to increase its power
capacity to 5,300 MW. The value for the remaining part of the programme,
calculated at year-end exchange rates, is estimated to be EUR 2.0 billion from
January 2009 onwards.
The Russian Government is currently reviewing the investment programmes of the
generating companies in light of the decreased power demand. Fortum has
confirmed its commitment to fulfil TGC-10's investment programme. However, the
potential postponement of some projects by 1-3 years is currently under review.
Financing
Net debt decreased during the first quarter by EUR 545 million to EUR 5,634
million (year-end 2008: EUR 6,179 million). The decrease in net debt is mainly
due to a strong operating cash flow and realised foreign exchange gains.
The liquidity position continued to improve, and, at the end of the quarter, the
Groups liquid funds totalled EUR 3,041 million (year-end 2008: EUR 1,321
million). The liquid funds include cash and bank deposits held by TGC-10
amounting to EUR 841 million (year-end 2008: 1,020 million) approximately EUR
572 million of which was denominated in EUR and EUR 269 million denominated in
RUB. The cash position in TGC-10 was reduced during the quarter due to the EUR
112 million repayment of bonds, payments under the investment program and EUR 40
million of translation difference when consolidating RUB deposits in TGC-10 back
to Fortum's EUR reporting currency.
In March, Fortum successfully completed a major financing transaction. A
dual-tranche Euro bond of EUR 750 million due 2014 and EUR 750 million due 2019
were issued under Fortum's Euro Medium-Term Note Program.
The cash position reported at the end of the quarter was reduced during April.
In April Fortum paid out EUR 888 million in dividends and EUR 229 million in
maturing loans. Fortum also paid EUR 500 million of the 3-year EUR 2 billion
term-loan and all drawn amounts (EUR 300 million) under the EUR 1.5 billion
5-year Revolving Credit Facility raised in March 2008 in connection with the
acquisition of TGC-10.
After the payments in April, Fortum's liquid funds were approximately EUR 1.1
billion. In addition, Fortum had access to approximately EUR 2.9 billion of
undrawn committed credit facilities.
The Group's net financial expenses for the first quarter were EUR 32 (45)
million. Net financial expenses include changes in the fair value of financial
instruments of EUR 11
(-2) million. Excluding changes in the fair value of financial instruments,
financial expenses were at the same level as the corresponding quarter last
year, despite the fact that average net debt in 2009 was approximately EUR 1.3
billion higher than in the corresponding quarter last year.
Net debt to EBITDA for the last twelve months was 2.3 (2.5 at year-end 2008).
Fortum Corporation'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 of 2009, a total of 155.1 (159.4) million Fortum
Corporation shares, totalling EUR 2,295 million, were traded. Fortum's market
capitalisation, calculated using the closing quotation of the last trading day
of the quarter, was EUR 12,745 million. The highest quotation of Fortum
Corporation shares on the NASDAQ OMX Helsinki in the quarter was EUR 17.73, the
lowest EUR 12.60, and the volume-weighted average quotation EUR 14.80. The
closing quotation on the last trading day of the quarter was EUR 14.35 (25.81).
A total of 528,087 shares subscribed on the basis of share option schemes were
entered into the trade register in the first quarter of 2009. At the end of the
quarter, Fortum Corporation did not own its own shares.
After registrations, Fortum Corporation's share capital was EUR 3,045,502,967.80
and the total number of registered shares was 888,166,167 at the end of the
quarter. The share capital of Fortum Corporation increased by a total of EUR
1,795,495.80.
At quarter-end, the amount of shares that can still be subscribed for and
registered under the share option schemes is a maximum of 0.02% (200,878 shares)
of Fortum's quarter-end share capital and voting rights.
At the end of the first quarter 2009, the Finnish state's holding in Fortum was
50.8%. The proportion of nominee registrations and direct foreign shareholders
was 34.9%.
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.
Group personnel
The average number of employees in the Group during the first quarter from
January to March was 14,644 (8,356). The increase in the number of employees is
due to the acquisition of TGC-10. The number of employees at the end of the
quarter was 14,267 (15,689).
The outsourcing of certain infrastructure service functions to Infratek ASA
reduced the number of people in the Power Generation and Distribution segments.
Events after the period under review
The TGC-10 Annual General Meeting took place on 15 April, 2009. Among other
decisions shareholders approved the renaming of the Company. After the official
registration of changes to the Articles of Association (expected by the end of
April) the new name of the company will be OAO Fortum.
In April, the EU Parliament voted in favour of the third energy market package.
If the package enters into force in its current form one of the consequences
will be that Fortum may have to sell its 25% ownership in the Finnish high
voltage electricity grid company Fingrid Oyj latest during 2012. Consequently,
Fortum has started to prepare for the sale of the Fingrid shares.
Changes in Fortum Management
On 7 April 2009, Tapio Kuula, member of Fortum Corporation's Management Team,
was appointed Fortum Corporation's President and CEO as of 1 May 2009. Tapio
Kuula has worked at Fortum since 1996 and has been a member of the Management
Team since 1997.
The current President and CEO Mikael Lilius will retire in December 2009 when he
reaches the age of 60. Until his retirement, Mr Lilius will continue to work on
assignments from the Board of Directors and Fortum Management Team with a
special focus on Russian operations.
Annual General Meeting
Fortum Corporation's Annual General Meeting, which was held in Helsinki on 7
April 2009, adopted the financial statements of the parent company and the Group
for 2008, discharged Fortum's Supervisory Board, Board of Directors and the
President and CEO from liability for 2008, and decided to pay a dividend of EUR
1.00 per share for 2008. The dividend payment date was 21 April 2009.
The Annual General Meeting re-elected the following persons to the Board of
Directors: Matti Lehti, Esko Aho, Ilona Ervasti-Vaintola, Birgitta
Johansson-Hedberg and Christian Ramm-Schmidt. Sari Baldauf was elected as a new
member of the Board of Directors. Matti Lehti was elected as the Chairman and
Sari Baldauf as the Deputy Chairman of the Board of Directors. The Board of
Directors was elected until the end of the following Annual General Meeting.
Outlook
KEY DRIVERS AND RISKS
The key factor influencing Fortum's business performance is the wholesale price
of electricity. Key drivers behind wholesale price development are the
supply-demand balance, fuel and CO2 emissions allowance prices as well as the
hydrological situation. The exchange rates of the Swedish krona and Russian
rouble also affect Fortum's financials. The balance sheet translation effects
from potential changes in currency exchange rates are booked in Fortum's equity.
Fortum's financial results are exposed to a number of strategic, financial and
operational risks. For further details on Fortum's risks and risk management,
see Fortum's Operating and Financial Review and Financial Statements for 2008.
MARKET DEMAND
The ongoing economic and financial slowdown impacts the markets where Fortum
operates. This may increase Fortum's counterparty risk. Economic slowdown may
continue to depress electricity consumption in the Nordic countries. Fortum
expects the electricity consumption to return to a growth path after the
recession.
According to Russian official forecasts, the electricity demand in Russia during
2009 is estimated to be 4-8% lower than in 2008.
RUSSIA
In Russia, one of the key assumptions in the TGC-10 acquisition is the
continuation of the Russian power sector reform. As planned, the share of power
sold at a competitive price was increased from 25% to 30% on 1 January 2009. The
share is planned to be increased to 50% at the beginning of July 2009. The rules
for the long-term capacity market, taking place from 2011 onwards, are under
preparation. The wholesale power market is expected to be fully liberalised in
2011.
The average limit gas price (regulated gas price) for the second, third and
fourth quarter of 2009 will increase by 7%, 7% and 6.2%, respectively.
TGC-10 is committed and contractually obligated to a significant investment
programme, still amounting to approximately EUR 2.0 billion for 2009 and
onwards. However, the economic slowdown is likely to further affect the Russian
power demand-supply balance. The Russian Government is currently reviewing the
investment programmes of the generating companies in light of the decreased
power demand. Fortum has confirmed its commitment to fulfil TGC-10's investment
programme. However, the potential postponement of some projects by 1-3 years is
currently under review.
The acquisition of TGC-10 is expected to marginally dilute Fortum's EPS during
2009. Annual efficiency improvements are expected to be approximately EUR 100
million in 2011.
TAXES AND REGULATION
In late March, the Finnish Government decided to start preparations on the
taxation of hydro and nuclear capacity built before 1997. The tax is targeted to
take effect by the beginning of 2011 at the latest. The Government is targeting
tax income of EUR 33-330 million per year through the new tax. When preparing
the tax, the Government will have to assess its compatibility with European as
well as national legislation.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURE
Fortum expects its annual capital expenditure the next 4-5 years to be within a
range of EUR 0.8-1.2 billion.
HEDGING
In late April, the electricity forward price in Nord Pool for the rest of 2009
was around EUR 36-37 per MWh. The electricity forward price for 2010 was around
EUR 37-39 per MWh and for 2011 around EUR 38-40 per MWh. At the same time, the
future quotations for coal (ICE API2) for the rest of 2009 were around EUR 50
per tonne and the market price for emissions allowances (EUA) for 2009 was about
EUR 13-14 per tonne CO2.
In late April, Nordic water reservoirs were about 4 TWh below the long-term
average and 11 TWh below the corresponding level of 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 prices, availability and utilisation of
Fortum's flexible production portfolio and currency fluctuations. Excluding the
potential effects from the changes in the power generation mix, a 1 EUR/MWh
change in Generation's achieved Nordic sales price results in an approximately
EUR 50-million change in Fortum's annual operating profit.
In mid-April 2009, Fortum had hedged approximately 75% of the Power Generation
segment's estimated Nordic electricity sales volume for the rest of 2009 at
approximately EUR 51 per MWh. For the calendar year 2010, approximately 65% of
the Power Generation segment's estimated Nordic electricity sales volume was
hedged at approximately EUR 43 per MWh. For the calendar year 2011,
approximately 30% of the Power Generation segment's estimated Nordic electricity
sales volume was hedged at approximately EUR 42 per MWh.
The reported hedge ratios may vary significantly, depending on Fortum's actions
on the electricity derivatives markets. Hedges are mainly financial contracts,
most of them Nord Pool forwards or standardised futures, consisting of several
types of products and maturities.
Fortum's results in the first quarter were good, despite the challenging
environment. A flexible and climate-benign production portfolio accompanied by a
strong financial position and liquidity enable Fortum to meet the challenges
caused by the ongoing recession. Fortum is in a strong position to weather the
turbulence.

Fortum has in Q1 implemented IAS 1 (revised) Presentation of financial
statements, see Note 2 Accounting policies. The consolidated statement of
changes in total equity has changed format. Comparison numbers have been
reclassified to be in line with the new format.
Translation differences*)
Translation differences impacted equity attributable to owners of the parent
company with EUR -187 million in Q1 2009, mainly due to the weakening RUB. Part
of the translation differences is arising from the NOK effect in fair valuation
of Hafslund's REC shares, EUR +12 million, which is shown together with the
change in fair value in OCI items associated companies.
Cash flow hedges
The impact on equity attributable to owners of the parent company from fair
valuation of cash flow hedges, EUR +140 million in Q1 2009, mainly relates to
cash flow hedges hedging electricity price for future transactions. When
electricity price is lower than the hedging price, the impact on equity is
positive.
*) Translation of financial information from subsidiaries in foreign currency is
done using average rate for the income statement and end rate for the balance
sheet. The exchange rate differences occurring from translation to EUR are
booked to equity. For information regarding exchange rates used, see Note 8
Exchange rates.

| NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 1. BASIS OF PREPARATION |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as
adopted by the EU. The condensed interim financial report should be read in
conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December
2008.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The same accounting policies and presentation have been followed in these
condensed interim financial statements as were applied in the preparation of the
Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2008, except
for the effects of the adoption of the standards described below:
• IAS 23 (amendment) Borrowing costs
The revised standard requires an entity to capitalise borrowing costs directly
attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying
asset as part of the cost of that asset. The option of immediately expensing
those borrowing costs is removed. The adoption of the revised IAS 23 changed
slightly Fortum's accounting policy for capitalising borrowing costs as
previously only borrowings costs meeting determined criteria were capitalised.
Fortum has applied the revised IAS 23 to qualifying assets for which
capitalisation of borrowing costs commences on or after January 1 2009. The
change did not have a material effect on Q1 2009 reported results or financial
position.
• IAS 1 (revised) Presentation of financial statements
IAS 1 (revised) changed the terminology and presentation of the income
statement and the statement of changes in equity. The standard requires to
separate changes in equity of an entity arising from transactions with owners
from other changes in equity. The adoption of the standard had no impact on
Fortum's reported results or financial position.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 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 2008.

Generation's Service Business unit.

| 9. INCOME TAX EXPENSE |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tax rate according to the income statement for the period January to March 2009
was 20.8% (20.4%). The tax rate for the period is higher than in the comparable
period 2008 mainly due to the impact of the lower share of profits from
associates for the period.
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 Fortums
share of profits after tax. The tax rate for the period calculated excluding the
share of profits from associates and joint ventures was 19.6% (21.6%). The tax
rate is impacted by the lowering of corporate tax rates in Sweden and Russia.
The tax rate for the full year 2008, excluding the impact of tax rate changes,
non taxable capital gains and share of profits of associated companies was
22.1%.

Share of profits from associates and joint ventures
Share of profits from associates in Q1 2009 EUR -33 million (2008: 34 million)
mainly represents Fortum's share of profits in Hafslund ASA with EUR -36 million
(2008: 25). Fortum's share of profits for the full year 2008 amounted to EUR 126
million, of which Hafslund represented EUR 48 million. 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 2009 results on 6 May 2009.
Investments
Fortum and (Norwegian) Hafslund Infratek ASA combined their businesses of
construction and operating of infrastructure in Sweden, Finland and Norway at
the beginning of 2009. Fortum received newly issued shares in Hafslund Infratek
ASA and 33% ownership in the new combined company.

in Hafslund's shareholding in REC. In Q1 the fair value change of the REC shares
was

Fortum's equity, based on the remaining number of shares reported by Hafslund,
was EUR 122 million at 31 March 2009, which represents a decrease with EUR 4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During the first quarter Fortum issued a dual-tranche Euro Bond of EUR 750
million due 2014 and EUR 750 million due 2019 under Fortum's Euro Medium-Term
Note Program. This new financing is partly used in April by prepaying EUR 500
million of the 3 year EUR 2 billion term-loan and all drawn amounts (EUR 300
million) under the EUR 1.5 billion 5 year Revolving Credit Facility raised in
March 2008 in connection with the acquisition of TGC-10. EUR 800 million has
therefore been reclassified to current portion of long-term loans.
The amount of re-borrowing from the Finnish nuclear waste fund was increased by
EUR 66 million to EUR 774 million. Fortum also uses short term financing by
issuing Commercial Papers (CPs) in the Finnish and Swedish markets. Per quarter
end the amount of short term CPs outstanding was EUR 485 million. During the
quarter EUR 300 million under the EUR 1.5 billion 5 year revolving Credit
Facility and a TGC-10 RUB 5,000 million bond (EUR 112 million) were repaid. The
reported interest-bearing debt increased during the quarter by EUR 1,175 million
from EUR 7,500 million to EUR 8,675 million. Total Liquid Funds increased by EUR
1,720 million from EUR 1,321 million to EUR 3,041 million including deposits and
cash held by TGC-10 amounting to EUR 841 million. The dividends both in 2008 and
2009 were paid after the Q1 reporting date.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nuclear related provisions
The liability regarding the Loviisa nuclear power plant is calculated according
to the Nuclear Energy Act and was decided by Ministry of Employment and the
Economy in January 2009. The liability is based on an updated cost estimate,
which is done every year, and on a technical plan, which is made every third
year and was updated last time in 2007. The legal liability at 31 March 2009,
based on the decision by the Ministry of Employment and the Economy and
calculated according to the Nuclear Energy Act, amounted to EUR 895 million.
The provision in the balance sheet related to nuclear waste management is based
on cash flows for future costs which uses the same basis as the legal liability.
The carrying value of the nuclear provision, calculated according to IAS37, have
increased by EUR 5 million compared to 31 December 2008, totalling EUR 571
million as of 31 March 2009. The main reason for the difference between the
carrying value of the provision and the legal liability is the fact that the
legal liability is not discounted to net present value.
Fortum's share in the State Nuclear Waste Management Fund
Fortum contributes funds to the State Nuclear Waste Management Fund based on the
yearly funding obligation target decided by the governmental authorities in
January each year in connection with the decision of size of the legal
liability. The funding obligation target based on the decided legal liability
and approved periodising of the payments to the Fund is EUR 767 million. The
Fund is from an IFRS perspective overfunded with EUR 196 million, since Fortum's
share of the Fund as of 31 March 2009 is EUR 767 million and the carrying value
in the balance sheet is EUR 571 million.
Effects to comparable operating profit and operating profit
Operating profit in Power Generation segment is affected by the accounting
principle for Fortum's share of the Finnish Nuclear Waste Management Fund, since
the carrying value of the Fund in Fortum's balance sheet can maximum be equal to
the amount of the provisions according to IFRS. As long as the Fund is
overfunded from an IFRS perspective, the effects to operating profit from this
adjustment will be positive if the provisions increase more than the Fund and
negative if actual value of the fund increases more than the provisions. This
accounting effect is not included in Comparable operating profit in Fortum
financial reporting, see Other items effecting comparability in Note 4. Fortum
had an effect from this adjustment in Q1 2009 of EUR -11 million, compared to
EUR -9 million in Q1 2008 and EUR -19 million in total for 2008.
Associated companies
Fortum has minority shareholdings in associated Finnish and Swedish nuclear
production companies. Fortum has for these companies accounted for its share of
the effects from nuclear related assets and provisions according to Fortum
accounting principles.

Pledged assets for debt
Finnish participants in the State Nuclear Waste Management Fund are allowed to
borrow from the Fund. During Q1 2009 Fortum increased its borrowing from the
Fund (see Note 15) and has therefore pledged additional Kemijoki shares as
security. The carrying value of the pledged shares amount to EUR 263 million
(208 million) as of 31 March 2009 (and 31 December 2008 respectively.
Pledged assets for other commitments
Fortum has given real estate mortgages in Naantali and Inkoo power plants in
Finland, total value of EUR 206 million, as a security to the State Nuclear
Waste Management Fund for the uncovered part of the legal liability and
unexpected events relating to future costs. The size of the securities given is
updated yearly in Q2 based on the decisions regarding the legal liabilities and
the funding target which takes place around year-end every year. Fortum
estimates that the amount of real estate mortgages given as a security to
increase with approximately EUR 14 million during Q2 2009.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The decrease in capital commitments from 31 december 2008 is mainly due to the
finalisation of the automatic meter reading investment in Distribution Sweden,
the decline of the Russian rouble and that the investments regarding the CHP
plants being built in the Heat business in Finland, Estonia and Poland are
proceeding.

Guarantees on own behalf
Other contingent liabilities on own behalf, EUR 356 million, have decreased with
EUR 6 million since 31 December 2008, mainly due to exchange rate changes for
the gurantees issued for the fulfillment of various contractual obligations.
Guarantees on behalf of associated companies
According to law, nuclear companies operating in Finland and Sweden shall give
securities to the Finnish State Nuclear Waste Management Fund and the Swedish
Nuclear Waste Fund respectively, to guarantee that sufficient funds exist to
cover future expenses of decommissioning of power plant and disposal of spent
fuel.
Fortum estimates, that the guarantee given on behalf of Teollisuuden Voima Oy
(TVO) to the Finnish fund will decrease from currently EUR 70 million at
year-end 2008 to EUR 67 million during Q2 2009. The size of the guarantee is
updated yearly in Q2, based on the decisions regarding legal liability and the
funding target which takes place around year-end.
