During the first half of the year, the key market drivers, the
market price of electricity and the international oil refining
margin were significantly higher than during the corresponding
period in 2002. After the record high levels around the year-end,
Nord Pool electricity prices decreased, however, to a level
clearly above that of last year. The international oil refining
reference margin was very high at the beginning of the year,
decreasing somewhat towards the summer.

Fortum took important strategic steps in Norway and north-western
Russia by agreeing with E.ON AG on a swap of power assets. In
addition, Fortum acquired more shares in Hafslund on the market,
leading to a 34.1% share ownership.

The integration of Birka Energi progressed as planned. The synergy
benefits achieved during the first half of the year exceeded EUR
60 million.

The Group’s financial performance in the period from January to
June remained strong and cash flow continued to be at a good level
supported by a decreased working capital and realised foreign
exchange gains. Net debt was further decreased from the first
quarter, despite approximately EUR 500 million worth of strategic
acquisitions. As a result, gearing decreased to 60%.


Net sales and results

April-June

During the second quarter, the Nord Pool electricity price and the
international oil refining margin were lower than in the first
quarter, but exceeded the corresponding level in 2002.

Group operating profit totalled EUR 286 (422) million. The
operating profit excluding non-recurring items, EUR 272 (198)
million, improved by EUR 74 million compared to the corresponding
period in 2002. The improvement was EUR 141 million including the
effect of discontinuing operations. The net amount of non-
recurring items was EUR 14 (224) million.

Typically for the seasons, the results for power and heat
businesses were lower than in the first quarter. However, the
operating profit excluding non-recurring items for the Power, Heat
and Gas segment nearly tripled compared to the corresponding
period last year. The performance of the Markets segment developed
positively. The results of Oil Refining and Marketing segment
stayed almost at last year’s level despite an inventory loss owing
to the decrease in the price of crude oil. Thus, the operational
result of this segment was clearly improved compared to last year.

January-June

Group net sales stood at EUR 6,028 (5,253) million. The main
reason for the increase was higher market prices for electricity
and petroleum products.

Group operating profit totalled EUR 761 (749) million. The
operating profit excluding non-recurring items, EUR 743 (435)
million, improved by EUR 308 million compared to the corresponding
period in 2002. The net amount of non-recurring items was EUR 18
(314) million. Most of the non-recurring items last year were
gains on sales of fixed assets.

Electricity and heat sales volumes increased. This, together with
higher electricity prices, resulted in a significant improvement
in the result for the Power, Heat and Gas segment.

The result for Electricity Distribution segment was lower because
of considerable gains on sales in 2002. The operating profit
excluding non-recurring items was improved compared to last year,
however.

The result for the Markets segment improved compared to last year.

The international oil refining margins were markedly higher than a
year ago, considerably improving the results of the Oil Refining
and Marketing segment. The Shipping business enjoyed high freight
rates, mainly during the first quarter.

Profit before taxes was EUR 626 (615) million.

The Group´s net financial expenses were EUR 135 (134) million.

Minority interests accounted for EUR 47 (40) million. These were
mainly attributable to the preference shares issued by Fortum
Capital Ltd in 2000 and to Fortum Värme Holding, in which the City
of Stockholm has a 50% economic interest.

Taxes for the period totalled EUR 167 (149) million.

Net profit for the period was EUR 412 (426) million. Earnings per
share were EUR 0.49 (0.50). Return on capital employed was 12.1%
(10.3%) and return on shareholders´ equity was 11.9% (9.1%).

Electricity consumption in the Nordic countries decreased by 2%
during the second quarter and was 85.7 (87.5) terawatt-hours
(TWh). Consumption in Finland decreased by 4%. In Sweden,
consumption was at the same level as last year and in Norway it
was down by 3% on the corresponding period last year.

During the period from January to June, electricity consumption in
the Nordic countries remained at the previous year’s level and was
197 (198) TWh. Consumption in Finland increased by 6%. In Sweden,
consumption was at the same level as last year and in Norway it
was down by 5% on the corresponding period last year.

During the second quarter, the average spot price for electricity
on the Nordic power exchange (Nord Pool) was EUR 28.6 per megawatt-
hour compared to EUR 53.3 during the first quarter. The average
price of electricity during the period from January to June was
EUR 40.9 (18.7) per megawatt-hour. The price level was supported
by the deficit in water reservoirs at the beginning of the year
and lower-than-normal hydro inflows during the first two quarters.
Despite the lower-than-normal hydro inflows, the hydrological
situation strengthened due to low hydro production.

The average price of electricity on the Nordic power exchange
increased by 119% in the period from January to June compared to
last year. The corresponding price increase of electricity sold by
Fortum in the Nordic countries was 43%. The Nord Pool price during
the second quarter was down by 46% compared to the first quarter.
The corresponding decrease for Fortum was 19%.

The Power, Heat and Gas segment’s sales in the Nordic countries
amounted to 30.2 (26.6) TWh in total and represented approximately
15% (14%) of total Nordic electricity consumption during the
period from January to June.

Fortum’s own power generation in the Nordic countries during
January to June was 26.7 (22.6) TWh, of which about 8.4 (9.7) TWh
or 31% (43%) was hydropower-based and 12.7 (10.6) TWh or 48% (47%)
nuclear power-based. Due to low hydro power availability thermal
power production increased to 5.6 (2.3) TWh and its share of own
production increased to 21% (10%). Of the total Nordic electricity
consumption during the first half of the year, 14% was provided
from Fortum’s production facilities, compared to 11% last year.

In April, Fortum completed majority share acquisitions of two heat
companies, one in Poland (73% of the company D.Z.T. S.p.z.o.o.), 
and one in Estonia (60% of the company Tartu Energia AS).

The Markets business unit buys its electricity and oil products at
market terms.

The market environment during the period was characterised by
falling wholesale prices of electricity. However, overall prices
were higher than during the corresponding period last year.

Electricity sales totalled 17.2 (15.6) TWh during the period. The
effect on electricity sales volumes of the change in Birka
Energi’s ownership was 1.9 TWh during the period from January to
February 2002. Sales of heating oil amounted to 0.4 (0.4) million
tonnes during the period from January to June.

As of May 2003, Markets has been serving 83,000 customers in
Norway through the acquisition of Østfold Energi Kraftsalg AS.

A programme to improve business processes was launched during the
spring.

During the period, the international refining margin in north-
western Europe (Brent Complex) averaged USD 2.9/bbl (0.4/bbl).
Fortum’s premium margin continued to be on average about USD 2/bbl
above the international reference margin.

The price of Brent crude averaged USD 28.8/bbl (23.1/bbl). It was
at its highest at the beginning of June, about USD 29/bbl. The
inventory losses during the period from January to June were EUR
14 (gains 29) million.

Fortum refined a total of 6.4 (6.3) million tonnes of crude oil
and other feedstocks. A total of 3.8 (3.9) million tonnes of
petroleum products were sold in Finland. Exports amounted to 2.6
(2.4) million tonnes.

In Shipping, two product tankers, in which Fortum’s holding is
50%, were agreed to be sold in June. In July, a letter of intent
was signed concerning selling the oil terminal in Tallinn,
Estonia. The final contract is scheduled to be signed during this
year.

In June, Fortum sold its bitumen wholesale business to the Swedish
Nynäs Petroleum, in which Fortum has a 50% holding.

Fortum did not have any oil or gas production of its own during
the first half of 2003. Oil production at the South Shapkino field
in north-western Russia started in mid-July. Fortum’s share of the
exploitable oil reserves in this oil field, which is owned fifty-
fifty by Fortum and the Russian Lukoil, has been estimated at
approximately 82 million barrels.

Business development and restructuring

In January, Fortum and E.ON AG agreed on a swap of power assets.
Fortum acquired assets in Norway and north-western Russia and sold
some non-core assets in Ireland, Germany and southern Sweden.

As a result of these transactions, the shares involved in 
the Russian Lenenergo were transferred to Fortum in March and 
the shares in the Norwegian Hafslund ASA as well as Østfold 
Energi Kraftsalg AS, Østfold Energi Nett AS and Østfold 
Entreprenor AS in April. After some further acquisitions from 
the market, Fortum owned 34.1% of the share capital in Hafslund 
at the end of June. The total acquisition cost of the Hafslund 
shares was EUR 279 million.

At the end of June, Fortum completed the divestments of power
plants in Burghausen, Germany and Edenderry, Ireland as well as
Fortum Distribution Småland AB in Sweden.

Transactions relating to the swap of assets with E.ON were
completed by the end of June. The transaction relating to the
shares in the Norwegian Fredrikstad Energi AS is still waiting for
technical conclusion.

The disposal of the Norwegian E&P assets was completed in March.
The financial impact of the transaction was included in Fortum´s
2002 annual closing. In June, Fortum divested its retail gas sales
operations in the U.K.

Investments and financing

Investments in fixed assets during the period from January to June
totalled EUR 761 (3,956) million. Of this, EUR 517 (3,706) million
were acquisitions.

At the end of the period, interest-bearing net debt stood at EUR
4,502 (6,182) million. The gearing ratio at the end of June was
60% (80% at the end of 2002).

Group net financial expenses were EUR 135 (134) million.

In February, Fortum Corporation established a bond programme
(Medium Term Note Programme) of SEK 7.0 billion for the purpose of
enabling the issue of bonds on the Swedish capital markets in
Swedish krona and euro. The programme replaces the SEK 7.0 billion
programme in the name of Fortum Power and Heat AB.

In April, Fortum Corporation signed a EUR 1.2 billion revolving
credit facility. This five-year facility is for general corporate
purposes and replaces existing syndicated facilities established
by various subsidiaries.

In July, Fortum Corporation established a bond programme (Euro
Medium Term Note Programme) of EUR 4.0 billion in order to enable
the issue of bonds on the international capital markets.

Shares and shareholdings

A total of 72,060 Fortum Corporation shares were subscribed to
with the share warrants relating to Fortum Corporation’s 1999
warrant bond to employees and management stock option scheme. The
increase in the share capital resulting from the share
subscriptions, a total of EUR 245,004, was entered in the trade
register on 5 May 2003. After the increase, Fortum Corporation’s
share capital is EUR 2,875,881,891 and the total number of shares
is 845,847,615.

Group personnel

The average number of employees in the Group during the period
from January to June was 13,272 (14,659). The reduction is mainly
attributable to the combination of the businesses of Birka Energi
and Fortum, as well as to the formation of the new associated
company Enprima at the beginning of this year. The number of
employees at the end of the period was 13,969 (13,670 at the end
of 2002).

Fortum has decided to launch a new share-based long-term incentive
programme (Performance Share Arrangement) for key personnel in the
Group. The potential reward under the arrangement will be based on
the performance of the Group, its business units and the
individual manager, as well as appreciation of the Fortum share.
At this stage the new arrangement concerns some 190 managers.

Fortum estimates that 0.1 to 0.3 per cent of the outstanding
Fortum shares i.e. 1,000,000 to 2,500,000 shares, will be
allocated under each individual plan. The shares will be bought on
the market and thus there will be no dilution effect. This
arrangement is intended to replace other possible long term
incentive schemes for top management.


Appointments and resignations

In April, Tanja Karpela, Leena Luhtanen and Matti Vanhanen
announced their resignations from Fortum's Supervisory Board after
their appointment as members of the Council of State.

In June, Kari Huopalahti, Senior V.P. Corporate Development and
member of the Corporate Executive Committee, left the company.

The Chairman of the Board of Directors, Matti Vuoria, has been
appointed President and CEO of Varma-Sampo, a major Finnish mutual
pension insurance company, as of 1 June 2004. Matti Vuoria
continues as Fortum´s Executive Chairman until the end of this
year.

Outlook

The key market drivers influencing Fortum´s performance are the
market price of electricity and the international oil refining
margin. Other important market drivers are the price of crude oil,
and the exchange rates of the US dollar and the Swedish krona.

According to general market information, electricity consumption
in the Nordic countries is predicted to increase by about 1-2%
each year over the next years. During the first half of 2003, the
average spot price for electricity was EUR 40.9 per megawatt-hour
on the Nordic electricity market, or 119% higher than the
corresponding figure for 2002. The electricity forwards for the
rest of 2003 at the beginning of July were in the range of EUR 29-
30 per megawatt-hour.

The synergy benefits generated by the creation of a pan-Nordic
power and heat business following the acquisition of the remaining
50% of the former Birka Energi will exceed the target of EUR 100
million a year as of 2004.

The continuous operations of the power and heat businesses usually
result in a significantly better performance in the first and last
quarter of the year than in the second and third quarter.

The international refining margin in north-western Europe (Brent
Complex) was considerably higher than at the beginning of 2002 and
averaged USD 2.9/bbl (USD 0.4/bbl) during the period from January
to June. In July 2003, the international refining margin has been
averaging USD 2.7/bbl. For several years, the international Brent
Complex refining margin has averaged USD 1.5 - 2.0/bbl. The
management expects Fortum’s premium margin to remain at the strong
levels of previous years. During 2003, no major maintenance
shutdowns are planned at the refineries.

The average price for Brent crude oil was USD 27.5/bbl in January-
June 2003. On 30 June, it was USD 28.3/bbl. In July 2003, the
price has been averaging USD 28.4/bbl while the International
Petroleum Exchange’s Brent futures for the remainder of 2003 have
been averaging USD 26.3/bbl. The price of crude oil has an impact
on the results of Oil Refining and Marketing through inventory
gains and losses.

Due to the disposals of the oil and gas production assets in Oman
and Norway, there was no own production in the first half of
2003. Oil production at the South Shapkino oil field in north-
western Russia started in mid-July. A production level of 12,500
bbl/d (Fortum’s 50% share) is expected to be reached in September.
Production will gradually be increased and full capacity (25,000
bbl/d) will be reached during 2004. The operations will be
earnings neutral during 2003.

The repositioning of Fortum has now been virtually completed. Most
of the targets set out in the strategic agenda have been reached:
a strong balance sheet and well performing businesses,
which generate a healthy cash flow. This gives Fortum a solid
platform to further strengthen its position as a leading Nordic
energy company.

The fair values of derivative contracts subject to public trading are 
based on market prices as of the balance sheet date. The fair values of 
other derivatives are based on the present value of cash flows resulting 
from the contracts, and, in respect of options, on evaluation models. 
The amounts also include unsettled closed positions.
Derivative contracts are mainly used to manage the group's currency, 
interest rate and price risk.
