An abundance of water and snow combined with low carbon dioxide emission allowance prices led to clearly lower Nordic spot prices. Despite the challenging power market conditions, Fortum's hedging positions enabled it to improve its performance compared to last year and to reach its highest ever quarterly result. The company's financial position remained strong. Net cash from operating activities improved to EUR 497 (303) million. Fortum Power Generation segment's achieved Nordic power price was EUR 39.2 (37.1), up by 6% from last year and clearly higher than the average spot price of electricity in Nord Pool, the Nordic power exchange. The average spot price of electricity in Nord Pool was EUR 26.7 (45.4) per megawatt-hour (MWh), approximately 41% lower than same time last year. Hafslund ASA, owned 34.09% by Fortum, sold 35 million shares in Renewable Energy Corporation (REC) at NOK 138 per share. Fortum booked a gain of approximately EUR 180 million, corresponding to EUR 0.20 per share, in its first-quarter result. Hafslund also announced it will propose a special dividend of NOK 15 per share to be distributed subject to an AGM decision in May. Fortum's share of the proposed special dividend would be approximately EUR 120 million. In March, Fortum decided to commence an environmental impact assessment (EIA) process for a possible new nuclear power plant unit at Loviisa, Finland. Financial results January-March Group sales stood at EUR 1,340 (1,343) million. Group operating profit totalled EUR 490 (472) million. Comparable operating profit increased by EUR 26 million to EUR 512 (486) million. The comparable operating profit of the Power Generation segment increased by 12% from a year ago. The comparable operating profit increased by 9% in the Heat segment, while it decreased by 4% in the Distribution segment. The Markets segment reported a comparable operating loss of EUR 14 million.

The Group's net financial expenses amounted to EUR 31 (15) million. The increase is mainly attributable to lower fair value gains on financial instruments of EUR 2 (15) million. The net interest expenses were EUR 32 (28) million, due to higher average debt during the first quarter 2007 compared to the corresponding quarter last year. The share of profit of associates and joint ventures was EUR 202 (35) million. The biggest contributor was Hafslund ASA in Norway. In the first quarter, Hafslund announced that it completed the sale of 35 million shares in Renewable Energy Corporation (REC) at NOK 138 per share. After this transaction, Hafslund still owns 70.4 million shares in REC. As a consequence, Fortum booked a gain of approximately EUR 180 million, corresponding to EUR 0.20 per share, in its first-quarter result. Hafslund ASA is showing the fair value change in the Renewable Energy Corporation ASA (REC) shareholding through the income statement, while Fortum is showing the fair value change in equity. The cumulative fair value change booked in Fortum's equity and based on the remaining number of shares reported by Hafslund was approximately EUR 360 million at the end of March 2007. Taxes for the first quarter totalled EUR 109 (120) million. The tax rate according to the income statement was low at 16.5% (24.4%), mainly due to the non-taxable gain of EUR 180 million from Hafslund's sale of REC shares. Minority interests increased to EUR 30 (26) million. The minority interests are mainly attributable to Fortum Värme Holding, in which the City of Stockholm has a 50% economic interest. The profit for the quarter was EUR 552 (372) million. Fortum's earnings per share were EUR 0.59 (0.39). Return on capital employed was 15.3% for the last twelve months (13.4% at year-end 2006), and return on shareholders' equity was 18.4% for the last twelve months (14.4% at year-end 2006). The Group's net cash from operating activities increased to EUR 497 (303) million. The increase was mainly due to the change in working capital. Market conditions According to preliminary statistics, the Nordic countries consumed 115 (122) terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity in the first quarter of 2007, 6% less than the year before. The decrease was due to warm weather. The year 2007 started with the Nordic water reservoirs being at the same level as the long-term average. At the end of March, the Nordic water reservoirs were 2 TWh above the long-term average and 4 TWh above the corresponding level in 2006. During the first quarter, the average spot price for power in Nord Pool was EUR 26.7 (45.4) per MWh or 41% lower than in the corresponding period in 2006. This was due to lower CO2 prices and wet and warm weather conditions. After the steep decline in the end of 2006, the quotations on the Nordic forward market stabilised. In Germany, the average spot price for the first quarter was somewhat higher than in the Nordic area and resulted in a net export from the Nordic area to Germany. During the first quarter, the CO2 price for 2007 declined from EUR 4-6 to EUR 1-1.4 per tonne CO2, the average market price for CO2 emissions being EUR 2.1 (26.2) per tonne CO2, or 92% lower than during the corresponding period in 2006. Total power and heat generation figures Fortum's total power generation during the first quarter 2007 was 15.2 (15.3) TWh, of which 14.9 (15.0) TWh was in the Nordic countries. This corresponds to 13% (12%) of the total Nordic electricity consumption. Fortum's total power and heat generation figures are presented below. In addition, the segment reviews include the respective figures by segment. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Fortum's total power and heat | I/07 | I/06 | 2006 | LTM | | generation, TWh | | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Power generation | 15.2 | 15.3 | 54.4 | 54.3 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Heat generation | 9.8 | 10.2 | 25.8 | 25.4 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Fortum's own power generation by | I/07 | I/06 | 2006 | LTM | | source, TWh, total in the Nordic | | | | | | countries | | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Hydropower | 6.4 | 5.8 | 19.8 | 20.4 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Nuclear power | 6.5 | 7.0 | 24.4 | 23.9 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Thermal power | 2.0 | 2.2 | 9.0 | 8.8 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Total | 14.9 | 15.0 | 53.2 | 53.1 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Fortum's own power generation by | I/07 | I/06 | 2006 | LTM | | source, %, total in the Nordic | | | | | | countries | | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Hydropower | 43 | 38 | 37 | 38 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Nuclear power | 44 | 47 | 46 | 45 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Thermal power | 13 | 15 | 17 | 17 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Total | 100 | 100 | 100 | 100 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total power and heat sales figures Fortum's total power sales were 17.5 (17.1) TWh, of which 17.2 (16.8) TWh were in the Nordic countries. This represented approximately 15% (14%) of the region's total consumption. Heat sales in the Nordic countries amounted to 7.6 (7.9) TWh and in other countries to 2.4 (3.0) TWh. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Fortum's total electricity *) | I/07 | I/06 | 2006 | LTM | | and heat sales, EUR million | | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Electricity sales | 675 | 668 | 2,437 | 2,444 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Heat sales | 388 | 393 | 1,014 | 1,009 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Fortum's total electricity | I/07 | I/06 | 2006 | LTM | | sales*) by area, TWh | | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Sweden | 8.4 | 8.4 | 28.5 | 28.5 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Finland | 8.2 | 7.7 | 29.6 | 30.1 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Other countries | 0.9 | 1.0 | 3.5 | 3.4 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Total | 17.5 | 17.1 | 61.6 | 62.0 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Fortum's total heat sales by | I/07 | I/06 | 2006 | LTM | | area, TWh | | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Sweden | 3.5 | 4.2 | 9.3 | 8.6 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Finland | 4.0 | 3.6 | 10.7 | 11.1 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Other countries**) | 2.5 | 3.1 | 6.8 | 6.2 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Total | 10.0 | 10.9 | 26.8 | 25.9 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *) Nord Pool transactions are calculated as a net amount of hourly sales and purchases at the Group level. **) Including the UK, which is reported in the Power Generation segment, other sales. SEGMENT REVIEWS Power Generation The business area comprises power generation and sales in the Nordic countries and the provision of operation and maintenance services in the Nordic area and selected international markets. The Power Generation segment sells its production to Nord Pool. The segment includes the business units Generation, Portfolio Management and Trading (PMT), and Service. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | EUR million | I/07 | I/06 | 2006 | LTM | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Sales | 641 | 643 | 2,439 | 2,437 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | - power sales | 566 | 558 | 2,059 | 2,067 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | - other sales | 75 | 85 | 380 | 370 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Operating profit | 298 | 284 | 980 | 994 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Comparable operating profit | 328 | 293 | 985 | 1,020 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Net assets (at period-end) | 6,607 | 5,913 | 6,734 | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Return on net assets, % | | | 16.1 | 18.8 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Comparable return on net | | | 16.1 | 16.3 | | assets, % | | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the first quarter 2007, the segment's power generation in the Nordic countries was 13.1 (13.3) TWh, of which about 6.4 (5.8) TWh or 49% (43%) was hydropower-based, 6.5 (7.0) TWh or 50% (53%) nuclear power-based, and 0.2 (0.5) TWh or 1% (4%) thermal power-based. The increase in hydro power generation was due to a strengthened hydrological situation. The decrease in nuclear generation was caused by unplanned shut-downs in the Swedish nuclear power plants. Thermal power generation decreased due to the low spot price. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Power generation by area, TWh | I/07 | I/06 | 2006 | LTM | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Sweden | 7.9 | 7.8 | 27.1 | 27.2 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Finland | 5.2 | 5.5 | 21.1 | 20.8 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Other countries | 0.3 | 0.3 | 1.2 | 1.2 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Total | 13.4 | 13.6 | 49.4 | 49.2 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Nordic sales volume, TWh | 14.6 | 14.9 | 53.9 | 53.6 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | of which pass-through sales | 1.4 | 1.3 | 4.5 | 4.6 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Sales price, EUR/MWh | I/07 | I/06 | 2006 | LTM | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Generation's Nordic power | 39.2 | 37.1 | 37.1 | 37.7 | | price* | | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *) For the Power Generation segment in the Nordic area, excluding pass-through sales. During the first quarter, the average price of electricity in Nord Pool was EUR 26.7 (45.4) per megawatt-hour, or 41% lower than during the corresponding period in 2006. The Power Generation segment's achieved Nordic power price EUR 39.2 (37.1) per megawatt-hour was 6% higher. The comparable operating profit of the Power Generation segment was higher than last year. Despite the lower spot price, the segment's achieved Nordic power price was higher, thanks to improved hedging prices. The positive impact from higher hydro power generation was offset by lower nuclear and thermal power generation volumes. The lost volume due to unplanned shut-downs in Swedish nuclear power plants was approximately 0.5 TWh in the first quarter. By the end of the first quarter, all units in the Swedish Oskarshamn and Forsmark nuclear power plants had returned to normal operation. In late March, Fortum decided to commence an environmental impact assessment (EIA) process at its Loviisa nuclear power plant for a new nuclear power unit possibly to be built adjacent to the existing two units. With the EIA process, Fortum raises its preparedness for a new nuclear power unit in Loviisa. However, the company has not made any decisions on its intentions beyond the EIA. In Sweden, Fortum Service was involved in storm-related maintenance work because of the storm 'Per' and provided service not only to Fortum but to other distribution companies as well. 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 in other markets. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | EUR million | I/07 | I/06 | 2006 | LTM | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Sales | 479 | 480 | 1,268 | 1,267 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | - heat sales | 377 | 383 | 976 | 970 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | - power sales | 75 | 69 | 198 | 204 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | - other sales | 27 | 28 | 94 | 93 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Operating profit | 142 | 119 | 264 | 287 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Comparable operating profit | 137 | 126 | 253 | 264 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Net assets (at period-end) | 3,444 | 2,513 | 3,407 | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Return on net assets, % | | | 9.6 | 9.7 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Comparable return on net | | | 9.2 | 8.9 | | assets, % | | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The segment's heat sales during the first quarter amounted to 9.5 (10.3) TWh. Warm weather was the reason behind the decrease in heat sales. Due to the seasonality of district heating demand, the first and last quarters of the year are most important to the segment's results. Power generation at combined heat and power plants (CHP) was 1.7 (1.7) TWh during the first quarter. The comparable operating profit of the Heat segment increased and was EUR 137 (126) million. This was mainly due to the contribution from the acquisition of Fortum Espoo. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Heat sales by area, TWh | I/07 | I/06 | 2006 | LTM | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Sweden | 3.5 | 4.2 | 9.3 | 8.6 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Finland | 4.0 | 3.6 | 10.7 | 11.1 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Other countries | 2.0 | 2.5 | 4.7 | 4.2 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Total | 9.5 | 10.3 | 24.7 | 23.9 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Power sales, TWh | I/07 | I/06 | 2006 | LTM | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Total | 1.7 | 1.7 | 5.0 | 5.0 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In January, Fortum announced an investment in a new CHP plant in Estonia, in the city of Tartu. The size of the investment is around EUR 60 million. Fortum owns 60% of the company. The ownership of Vattenfall's heat operations in Pärnu, Estonia, and Riga, Latvia, were acquired by Fortum during January and February, respectively. Fortum and Vattenfall signed an agreement on the heat operations in late December 2006. The planning of the new CHP plant in Czestochowa, Poland, has been started. Distribution Fortum owns and operates distribution and regional networks and distributes electricity to a total of 1.6 million customers in Sweden, Finland, Norway and Estonia. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | EUR million | I/07 | I/06 | 2006 | LTM | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Sales | 225 | 219 | 753 | 759 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | - distribution network | 192 | 188 | 636 | 640 | | transmission | | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | - regional network | 24 | 24 | 80 | 80 | | transmission | | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | - other sales | 9 | 7 | 37 | 39 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Operating profit | 79 | 81 | 252 | 250 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Comparable operating profit | 78 | 81 | 250 | 247 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Net assets (at period-end) | 3,314 | 3,030 | 3,412 | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Return on net assets, % | | | 8.4 | 8.0 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Comparable return on net | | | 8.3 | 7.9 | | assets,% | | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The volumes of distribution and regional network transmissions totalled 8.0 (7.8) TWh and 5.2 (5.4) TWh respectively. Electricity transmissions via the regional distribution network totalled 4.3 (4.5) TWh in Sweden and 0.9 (0.9) TWh in Finland. The Distribution segment's comparable operating profit of EUR 78 million in the first quarter was EUR 3 million lower than last year. The main reason for the decrease is the EUR 11 million cost caused by the storm "Per" in January. Fortum Espoo's contribution to the segment's first-quarter results was positive. "Per", the worst storm since "Gudrun" in 2005, hit the southern parts of Sweden and Norway on 14 January. Around 100,000 Fortum customers were out of electricity during the storm, and more than 27,000 customers in Sweden experienced outages for more than 12 hours, thus entitling them to compensation. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Volume of distributed | I/07 | I/06 | 2006 | LTM | | electricity in distribution | | | | | | network, TWh | | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Sweden | 4.3 | 4.7 | 14.4 | 14.0 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Finland | 2.9 | 2.2 | 7.7 | 8.4 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Norway | 0.7 | 0.8 | 2.3 | 2.2 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Estonia | 0.1 | 0.1 | 0.2 | 0.2 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Total | 8.0 | 7.8 | 24.6 | 24.8 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Number of electricity | 31 Mar 2007 | 31 Mar 2006 | | distribution customers by area, | | | | thousands | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Sweden | 865 | 860 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Finland | 585 | 410 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Norway | 97 | 97 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Estonia | 23 | 23 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Total | 1,570 | 1,390 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The development and implementation of a new customer and billing system in Sweden continued to generate additional costs and quality deviations in customer service for Distribution. The AMM project (Automatic Meter Management) is proceeding with pilot installations of meters in Lidingö, Sweden. 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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | EUR million | I/07 | I/06 | 2006 | LTM | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Sales | 519 | 547 | 1,912 | 1,884 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Operating profit/-loss | -12 | 3 | -6 | -21 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Comparable operating | -14 | 0 | -4 | -18 | | profit/-loss | | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Net assets (at period-end) | 140 | 356 | 176 | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Return on net assets, % | | | -1.6 | -7.7 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Comparable return on net | | | -0.8 | -6.7 | | assets, % | | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Markets' electricity sales totalled 11.9 (12.7) TWh in the first quarter. The sales in the first quarter were lower than in the corresponding period last year, mainly due to warm weather leading to decreased electricity consumption for heating purposes. To some extent, this sales decrease was offset by the increased number of customers from Fortum Espoo. Tight competition in Sweden resulted in a slight dip in the total number of Markets' customers in the first quarter. The customer switching rate in the Nordic countries increased during the first quarter of 2007. The Markets segment's first-quarter comparable operating profit was negative and clearly lower compared to last year. Markets suffered from high procurement prices, caused by hedging contracts from 2006. At the same time, decreasing wholesale prices and intense competition lead to lower retail prices. The development and implementation of a new customer and billing system in Sweden continued to generate additional costs and quality deviations in customer service for Markets. Capital expenditures, investments and divestments of shares Capital expenditures and investments in shares in the first quarter 2007 totalled EUR 115 (114) million. Investments excluding acquisitions were EUR 100 (71) million. Financing During the first quarter, Fortum's net debt decreased by EUR 413 million. At the end of the quarter, the interest-bearing net debt stood at EUR 3,932 million (EUR 4,345 million at year-end 2006). Net debt to EBITDA for the last twelve months was 2.1 (2.3 at year-end 2006). A decrease in net debt is primarily linked to good cash flow from operations. The Group's net financial expenses were EUR 31 (15) million. The increase is mainly attributable to lower fair value gains on financial instruments of EUR 2 (15) million. The net interest expenses were EUR 32 (28) million due to higher average debt during the first quarter 2007 compared to the corresponding quarter last year. Group liquidity at the end of the quarter was high due to the dividend payment in the beginning of April. At the end of the first quarter, cash and marketable securities totalled EUR 1,067 million. The Group also had access to approximately EUR 1.3 billion of undrawn committed credit facilities. Fortum'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 2007, a total of 281.0 (238.0) million Fortum shares, amounting to EUR 5,957 million, were traded. Fortum's market capitalisation, calculated using the closing quotation on the last trading day of the quarter, was EUR 19,444 million. The highest quotation of Fortum Corporation's shares on the Helsinki Stock Exchange in the first quarter was EUR 23.15, the lowest EUR 20.01, and the average quotation EUR 21.19. The closing quotation on the last trading day of the quarter was EUR 21.83. At the end of the first quarter 2007, Fortum Corporation did not own its own shares. A total of 3,291,503 shares subscribed for based on the share option schemes were entered into the trade register in the first quarter of 2007. After these subscriptions, the total number of Fortum's registered shares is 890,685,149. At quarter end, the Finnish State's holding in Fortum was 50.6% (51.1%). The proportion of nominee registrations and direct foreign shareholders increased to 34.7% (34.0%). 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. Currently, the Board of Directors has authorisation from the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on 28 March 2007 to buy Fortum Corporation's own shares. The authorisation, amounting to EUR 300 million or 20 million shares, is valid until the next Annual General Meeting. The shares repurchased by Fortum shall be cancelled through a separate decision made by the Board of Directors of Fortum. Group personnel In the first quarter, Fortum Group employed an average of 8,165 (8,886) people. The number of employees at the end of the period was 8,190 (8,900). Events after the period under review On 10 April, the regulator in Sweden, Energimarknadsinspektionen (EMI), published the decisions on distribution prices for 2003 concerning Fortum's network areas in Stockholm and the West Coast. The decisions imply that Fortum had a surplus income of EUR 27 million in 2003. Fortum, in collaboration with the industry, opposes the way the authority has conducted the supervision i.e. by applying the "Nätnyttomodellen" model. The main objections are that the model is theoretical and not based on the real network, and that the cost parameters are too low. If the results of the model are used, it will jeopardise the security of supply to customers. The decisions will be appealed. In April, Fortum announced that it is planning to invest in a new biofuel-based CHP plant in the city of Järvenpää in Finland. The value of the investment is about EUR 60 million. The production capacity of the plant would be around 55 MW of heat and 25 MW of electricity. Fortum has started to prepare an application for an environmental permit for the plant. In April, Fortum announced that it is planning a wind power investment in Sweden. Fortum, together with the land and forest cooperative Orsa Besparingsskog, is planning to build a wind park in the Orsa Finnmark area in the Dalarna province of Sweden. The plan consists of up to eight 2-3 megawatt wind power plants. The investment's estimated value is EUR 22-33 million, depending on its final size. Fortum and Orsa Besparingsskog both have a 50 per cent interest in the project. Annual General Meeting Fortum Corporation's Annual General Meeting, which was held in Helsinki on 28 March 2007, adopted the financial statements of the parent company and the Group for 2006, discharged Fortum's Supervisory Board, Board of Directors and the President and CEO from liability for 2006, and decided to pay a dividend of EUR 1.26 per share for 2006. Of this total dividend, EUR 0.73 per share was in accordance with the Group's dividend policy and EUR 0.53 per share was additional dividend proposed in order to steer Fortum's capital structure towards the agreed target level. The dividend payment date was 11 April 2007. The Board of Directors and auditors as well as the Supervisory Board, excluding Mr Kimmo Kalela, were re-elected. The Annual General Meeting authorised the Board of Directors to repurchase the company's own shares with funds available for distribution of profit. The authorisation is valid until the next Annual General Meeting. The shares will be acquired in order to direct the capital structure of the company towards the agreed target level. The maximum amount of shares to be repurchased is 20 million. In addition, the amount of consideration used for the acquisitions may not exceed EUR 300 million. Shares repurchased by the company shall be cancelled through a separate decision made by the Board of Directors. Outlook The key market driver influencing Fortum's business performance is the Nordic wholesale price of electricity. Key drivers behind the wholesale price development are the Nordic hydrological situation, CO2 emissions allowance prices and fuel prices. The Swedish krona exchange rate also affects Fortum's reported result, as results generated by Fortum in Sweden are translated into euros. Fortum's financial results are exposed to a number of strategic, financial and operational risks. For further details of Fortum's risks and risk management, see Fortum's Operating and Financial Review and Financial Statements 2006. According to general market information, electricity consumption in the Nordic countries is predicted to increase by about 1% a year over the next few years. In mid-April, the Nordic water reservoirs were about 3 TWh above the long-term average and 6 TWh above the corresponding level of 2006. The combined snow and water reservoir level is generally estimated to be clearly higher than the average. In mid-April, the market price for emissions allowances for 2007 was between EUR 0.6-0.8 per tonne of CO2 and for 2008 between EUR 17-18 per tonne of CO2. At the same time, the electricity forward price for the rest of 2007 was around EUR 28-29 per MWh and around EUR 42-43 per MWh for 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 price, utilisation and optimisation of Fortum's flexible production portfolio even on an hourly basis, and currency fluctuations. If Fortum would not hedge any of its production volumes, a 1 EUR/MWh change in the spot price would result in approximately a EUR 50 million change in Fortum's annual operating profit. At the beginning of April, Fortum had hedged approximately 70% of the Power Generation segment's estimated Nordic electricity sales volume for the rest of 2007 at approximately EUR 40 per MWh. For the calendar year 2008, approximately 40% of the Power Generation segment's estimated Nordic electricity sales volume was hedged at approximately EUR 42 per MWh. These hedge ratios may vary significantly depending on Fortum's actions on the electricity derivatives markets. Hedge prices are also influenced by changes in the SEK/EUR exchange rates, as part of the hedges are conducted in SEK. Despite exceptionally warm weather and lower nuclear generation volumes, Fortum achieved its best ever financial results in the first quarter of 2007. The group's financial position is strong. With its flexible and climate-benign production portfolio, Fortum continues to be well positioned for 2007 and 2008.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. BASIS OF PREPARATION The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as adopted by the EU. The interim financial report should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2006. 2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2006. The following new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations relevant for the Group, are mandatory for the financial year ending 31 December 2007. - IFRS 7 Financial instruments: Disclosures and a complementary amendment to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial statements - Capital disclosures. The Group will apply this standard from 1 January 2007. IFRS 7 introduces new disclosure requirements relating to financial instruments. The standard does not have any impact on the classification or valuation of the Group's financial instruments as such. - IFRIC 9 Reassessment of Embedded derivatives. The interpretation has had no material effect on Fortum's income statement and balance sheet. The following interpretations are mandatory for the financial year ending 31 December 2007, but not relevant for the Group. - IFRIC 7 Applying the Restatement Approach under IAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflatory Economies. - IFRIC 8 Scope of IFRS 2. Accounting for the share of profits from Hafslund ASA 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 2007 results on 3 May 2007. When calculating the share of profits in Hafslund, Fortum has in accordance with Fortum's accounting policies reclassified Hafslund's accounting treatment for the shareholding in Renewable Energy Corporation (REC). Hafslund has classified the shareholding in REC as financial assets at fair value through profit and loss while Fortum has classified the REC shareholding as available for sale financial assets with fair value changes recorded directly through equity, only when Hafslund divests shares in REC, the cumulative fair value change effects Fortum's income statement. Since REC is listed on the Oslo stock exchange as of 9 May 2006, Fortum is accounting for the fair value change in REC based on the closing price on the Oslo stock exchange at each closing date. The amount of shares is based on the amount published by Hafslund in the previous quarter if other information is not available. Hafslund has in March 2007 sold 35 million shares in REC. In accordance with the accounting policy Fortum has recognised approximately EUR 180 million in relation to Hafslund's divestment of REC shares as a part of the share of profits from associates and joint ventures. The cumulative fair value change in Fortum's equity based on the remaining number of shares reported by Hafslund was approximately EUR 360 millions at 31 March 2007. 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 2006. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | 4.

Discounted liability in the balance sheet calculated according to IAS 37 is EUR 453 (421) million as of 31 March 2007. The main reason for the difference in liability is that the legal liability is not discounted to net present value. Funding Target is EUR 649 (618) million as of 31 March 2007 (and 2006 respectively). The difference between the legal liability and the funding target must be covered by a security, which will be given by the end of June 2007. Fortum contributes to the Nuclear Waste Fund according to the funding target. Fortum's share of the State Nuclear Waste Management Fund as of 31 March is EUR 649 (618) million. The carrying value of the fund asset in the balance sheet is EUR 453 (421) million as of 31 March 2007 due to IFRIC Interpretation 5, which states that it can not exceed the carrying value of the related liabilities. At year end there is a difference between the funding target and Fortum's share of the State Nuclear Waste Management Fund due to yearly revised calculation of the legal liability. The difference is paid during the first quarter of the following year. Fortum has given real estate mortgages as security which also covers the liability in the balance sheet. The real estate mortgages are included in pledged assets. 16.

EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE The Swedish Energy Market Authority, Energimyndigheten, announced on 10 April 2007 the decision concerning pricing at two electricity distribution areas of Fortum in 2003. According to the decision Fortum would have to return about SEK 250 million of the collected distribution charges. The authority haspreviously published respective decisions for 13 distribution companies. Fortum will appeal against the decision to the County Administrative Court, because the theoretical grid model the authority applies as its basis does not correspond to the actual circumstances. All the other distribution companies that got the decision have also appealed. The decisions will not be efficient until the appeal processes have been finished. No provision in relation to this decision has been recognised in this interim financial statements. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | 21.
